Press Con and Taping of Bonakid Pre-School Ready Set Laban!
GMA Network has teamed up with Wyeth Nutrition to bring viewers Bonakid Pre-School Ready Set Laban, the newest game show that will test the strength, energy and determination of kids. The show was introduced to the press last Friday, April 12, 2013 at the Dining Hall of GMA Studios. Present during the press con were the game show’s host, singer-songwriter and celebrity dad Ogie Alcasid, Camille Prats (the Mom Ambassador of Bonakid Pre-School), Aubrey Iñigo and Richard Arboleda of Wyeth Philippines and Ma. Leah Nuyda of GMA Marketing & Productions, Inc.
The action-lacked kiddie game show has various challenges set in an exciting custom-built obstacle course. Each episode features 2 teams consisting of mom-and-kid tandems (with one celebrity mom and kid for each team) that will compete in a qualifying game which will be randomly selected. The team that wins the qualifying game will advance to the main challenge called the Triple Boost Maze — a growth, energy and immunity challenge rolled into one thrilling game!
After the press con, we stayed behind for the taping of Bonakid Pre-School Ready Set Laban’s 5th episode. It was actually my 6-year-old son who wanted to watch the taping because he was fascinated with Ogie.
We got to watch some of the things happening behind the scenes, from making the kids rehearse their lines to the changing of the studio settings for the different challenges for the show.
We also managed to have a photo opp with Ogie during a break.
Bonakid Pre-School is a powdered milk drink specially formulated to help support the nutritional needs of children 4 years and older. It has Tibay Boosters®, a combination of nutrients and other ingredients (Protein, Fat, Carbohydrate, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Carotenes, Zinc and Lutein) that help support the physical growth and development of children and help boost their bodies’ immune system.
Bonakid Pre-School Ready Set Laban will have 8 episodes all in all, with its last episode slated on June 8. More than 1 million pesos in cash prizes are at stake, so the show is not only exciting and challenging but rewarding as well. Bonakid Pre-School Ready Set Laban will air every Saturday morning (before Eat Bulaga) starting April 20.

So are we resurrecting IRC?
k, so apparently I am unable to have free thirty day deals anymore...does anyone remember who had the chocolate icing bubblegum cake?
are you on msn Jeme?
Well, I feel as though I've been in a cave for many years. What is IRC?
IRC - Internet Relay Chat. It works by there being a server out there in web land that you connect to with a client (program on your computer). There are many IRC clients out there and they are really a snap to set up.
Team Speak works under the same basis except that it uses voice.
Is there any real advantage to it as opposed to other ways of chatting?

With Demo Day just a few short weeks away, we are profiling the nine teams who have been going through the BGV accelerator over the past couple of months. In this post Joe and Sym tell us about Democracy Club – which creates digital tools to make the democratic process better for everyone.
Joe: In the UK we are living in a society that has been significantly transformed by digital technology, and yet our experience of the democratic process has not caught up. This can lead to quite serious disengagement, and a lack of trust in the electoral process.
Sym: A really simple example is how at the moment you can’t find out if you are registered to vote without going through a fairly difficult process that involves ringing up the council. Many people turn up to vote not realising they haven’t registered. If you were designing the system today you probably wouldn’t work it like that.
Sym: Democracy Club aims to make the process of democracy better for everyone through the creation of a range of digital tools. Some examples of what we mean by that are creating and maintaining a list of candidates for elections, a database of election leaflets and campaigning to get the location of polling stations published online.
Joe: I come from a background of marketing and politics, having worked with organisations like Purpose and the UN and I felt frustrated at the lack of some of these basic tools that I believe could strengthen engagement in the electoral process, increase transparency ensure a more even distribution of power across society.
Sym: I’m a software developer who’s been in the open data and civic tech world for about ten years, focused on EU budget monitoring, transparency, and some UK government stuff for councils. More recently I’ve been doing service design and software development for the UK government.
Sym: Over a million people used our tool to find their candidate during the 2015 general election alone. We feel that our tools have the potential to increase transparency and participation in the democratic process in various contexts around the world.
Joe: The easiest way would be to join us! Head to https://democracyclub.org.uk/ and pop your details in at the footer of the page.

Kay Childs-Smith is not sure whether she would be alive today if she never sought help from National Jewish Health.
A horrible asthmatic episode that began in March 1983 went on for months, prompting Kay to finally take action in July when her condition deteriorated to the point where daily tasks became nearly impossible. Unable to make the trip to Denver by car from her home in Riverside, Kansas, Kay, then in her 50s, boarded a plane and flew to Colorado.
"I was so pitiful the crew at the airport brought me a wheelchair because I wasn't breathing well," says Kay, now 89. "After checking into a motel, I took a cab to National Jewish Health, and there were tears in my eyes because I had that much confidence that I was going to get better."
"I was an emergency admission," she says, noting hospital staff went to her motel room to get her belongings. "They put me on an IV and gave me 80 milligrams of prednisone a day to help improve my breathing."
Kay only expected to be gone for a week. She ended up staying three, a reflection of the institution's patient-centered care model in which multidisciplinary teams consisting of physicians, nurses and other health care professionals spend all the time necessary to accurately diagnose, treat and educate each patient who visits National Jewish Health.
She slowly improved and remembers having a tight agenda every morning that included physical therapy and educational sessions designed to teach her how to manage her condition. Kay says one of the most important lessons she learned was to speak up and be assertive when talking to physicians. She also learned what it is like to have asthma, a condition she never wanted to admit having.
"I just didn't want to be an asthmatic," Kay says. "I had bronchitis and I would wheeze. That was how I described what I was going through. I was in denial."
To show her gratitude to National Jewish Health, the No. 1 respiratory hospital in the nation, Kay has funded two charitable gift annuities, which provide support to the hospital and fixed payments back to her for life. She also decided to include a gift in her will as a legacy to the institution.
"I really don't know what my life expectancy would have been, back in 1983, if I had gone without the care of National Jewish Health," Kay says. "The people at the hospital rescued me, and I can think of no other way to express my appreciation or recognize your excellence than to give back."
Kay encourages others to donate to the hospital because it consistently demonstrates excellence. "There are other charities that you can donate to, but you don't get to see the results of your gift firsthand like I did when I was a patient."
If a member of your family was struggling to breathe, as in Kay's case, imagine how important expert care would be in providing quality of life to that individual. Consider supporting National Jewish Health with a gift, such as a charitable gift annuity, this year. To learn more about giving to National Jewish Health contact Gordon Smith, MBA, CFRE at giftplanning@njhealth.org or 1.800.423.8891, Ext. 6549.

text: In California, vandalism as well as graffiti laws are put in place with the aim of protecting property owners. Damaging, destructing and defacing of other people’s property is prohibited by these laws. The severity of vandalism charges is determined by the conditions of the occurrence, the degree of damages as well as any probable gang affiliation. If convicted of vandalism, one faces various possible penalties such as probation, fines, juvenile detention or even jail time. It is for this reason that you should seek the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney in Georgia. This professional will give you a better understanding of your legal privileges and options.

wonder; are there any specific modules for ABAP? But later realized a developer can be SAP SD developer or MM developer or FI developer based on the SAP module they work. If within normal SAP there can be so many segregation of ABAP developers, then ISU ABAP would be totally a different ball game.
I understand, having the working knowledge of the modules help the ABAP developer to design and deliver better. But at the end of the day, the data boils down to table level for the technical folks. If the business or functional team show the requirements and the screens, a decent ABAP developer can easily figure out the corresponding tables. But No. Even the ABAP architects would not like to give the SAP ISU development to an ABAP developer who has only worked in SD, MM, FI modules and not in ISU. If we would be in the shoes of that architect, given a choice, we would also choose the ISU ABAP developer to the normal ABAP developer.
But, ABAP developers have the greatest mutation power. If they can be SD developer in one project and FI developer in another, then why can’t they be ISU developer in the latest? The process is different, the tables are new, the FM/BAPI would be separate and the master data would be new. But the logical mind of the developer remains the same. We started the Bankruptcy Overview and Write-Off Process in our previous article last week. In this and future series, we would try to post some articles on SAP ISU, which would help the ABAP developers wet their feet in this untrodden and unknown path of SAP ISU.
IS-U means Industry-Specific Solutions for Utilities Industry. Or more commonly IS-U means Industry Solutions-Utilities.
Below is the famous SAP IS-U House. It has most of the master data of SAP IS-U which the technical folks would need.
We would dedicate a separate article on SAP IS-U Master Data and elaborate the BP, CA, CO, Installations, Device, Point of Delivery etc. The terms are very practical and interesting. You would definitely like it once you understand it.
In this article we would like to show the process of Meter Reading , Bill Order Creation, Billing, Invoicing and Printing. These are regular transactions for IS-U functional and technical folks. But for ABAP developers venturing in IS-U projects for the first time, it might be of some help. Also, our own SAPYard team would like to refer back to this page when they work again in IS-U projects. ?
1. Where do we find the Meter Unit?
The meter unit is for the device and it should be in the installation. So, go to T-Code ES32 to get the details of the Installation. It would provide the Premise, Contract, Business Class, Rate Category and also Meter Reading Unit.
If you work with SAP IS-U team, they would use the jargon “MR”. So next time you hear MR, you need to know, it is Meter Reading.
Take the Meter Reading Unit and go to t-code E40A or EL01 toget list of schedule records for MR Units.
2. Where to find the Schedule Records for the MRUnits?
You may go to t-code E40A.
Or you may also refer to t-code EL01.
Looks like EL01 shows all future meter reading unit schedules as well, where E40A shows till current reading.
3. How to enter the Meter Reading Data?
Go to t-code EL28. Provide the Installation number, MeterReading Reason and Date and hit enter.
Click on the next Schedule. In the next screen hit CreateOrder.
You have option to record the Meter Reading or do the Correctionor Estimated Reading.
For our demo, we would Estimate it (seems system checks the historical data and puts the MR). Hit the Estimate button and Save. Meter Reading is entered.
Please note: In actual project, Meter Reading is an automated process. The reading values are sent to SAP using IDocs.
4. How to Check the Billing Order?
Go back to T-Code ES32 to get the details of theInstallation.
Hit the Billing Periods on the top. Check the Document Tab. It had document for 02/13/2019 (not for the period for which we entered the meter reading in the above step).
Now go to the Bill Order Tab. You would find the Billing Order for the MR we entered in the above step.
5. How to Generate the Bill?
Once the Bill Order is ready, you can go to T-Code EASIBI togenerate the new Bill. Provide the Installation number, MR Date and reason.
It would pick the corresponding Bill Order and create theBilling document.
Installation t-code is the heart of our article today. Go back to t-code ES32. The Bill Orders would be cleared if the Bill is created successfully. Check the Bil. Order Tab. The Billing Order which we saw in earlier step does not exist anymore.
Now check the Document Tab. There would be a new line for the Bill Doc No. This is the Bill we create in t-code EASIBI.
6. How to Generate the Invoice?
In order to create the Invoicing Document for thecorresponding Billing Document, go to t-code EASIBI again. This time select theInvoice Radio Button.
You would get the Invoice Log. You can check the Log fordetails.
Once the Invoice is complete, you can go back to theInstallation t-code ES32 and check the Document Tab for the Invoicing documentcreated. Check the 8006* number highlighted by the arrow below. That is theInvoice for the Billing Document.
7. How to Print the Invoice?
We can print the Invoice using t-code EA60. Provide the Invoice Number and execute it.
If you check the log, it would look like below.
In our landscape a PDF is saved in the shared folder. Inyour case, it might be different.
8. Where can we check the Invoice Details in SAP System?
There are multiple ways to get the details of the Invoicingdocument. The easiest way is to go to the installation (t-code ES32) and go tothe Document Tab and double click on the Invoice Doc Number.
The other way is to go to t-code EA40 to get the details of the Invoice.
Whether you go to the Invoice via installation or EA40 or anyother t-code, the Invoicing details would look like below. Play around with allthe Tabs and you would find all the details related to the Invoice.
We hope this 8 questions article would helped you understand the meter reading to invoicing steps and process. We did not want to overwhelm you with too much concepts. We wanted it to be simple and crisp.
In coming days, we would like to share some more technical stuff on SAP IS-U ABAP. We would check the master data and we would also introduce you to the different CCS tables commonly used in SAP IS-U viz FKKVKP, DKKKOP, ERDK, ERCH etc.
We have a very active Telegram (App) SAP Technical Group with more than 4455+ SAP Technical Practitioners from 6 Continents of the SAP World. Please join it using below link.

This is the day that spirits may wander freely between the worlds, allowing us to unite with ancestors, communicate with the faerie world, and many other magical miracles that wouldn’t be possible at other times of the year.
Our family likes to celebrate Samhain in ways both magical and mundane. We dress up to go trick-or-treating around the neighborhood with our wee ones, even as we brew invigorating spiced ciders at home, blessed and enchanted by the light of the moon. We light candles in honor of the dead and leave food for faeries by our back door.
This is also the time of autumn harvest, wherein we reap the bounty we have labored all year to produce. It is a time of celebration! Perhaps one of our very favorite times of year.
We look forward to celebrating the festival with our family, and hope you are blessed to spend the day with yours.

A "Contract Piano Tuning" is optional and ideal if you play the piano regularly - saving you more money each visit.
A local contract piano tuning is a fixed cost - only £42.50 per visit - saving you £5.00 per year.
# Music schools, colleges and universities/ theatre groups etc.
This service is available for all upright and grand pianos - new or old - same rate.
Customers are required to complete a small application form to enter into an agreement.
Short contract agreement renewed on an annual basis consisting of a minimum two piano tuning visits, six months apart.
After the contract runs out (12 months), you can either renew it with another annual payment, or cancel it - the choice is yours.
Please note once payment has been made, we cannot refund it nor transfer it considerably later in the year.
If you require an additional visit which is not part of the contract (e.g. leading up to a concert or exam), please book this at any time at the normal rate. We are unable to exchange an extra visit for a contract visit.
If your piano has not been tuned for several years and badly out of tune, (and you play it regularly), the cost of a one-off tuning visit may exceed £60.00. Customers may continue along the one-off payment route, but by paying only an additional £25.00, it would be cheaper in the long run to enter into a short contract, saving you money each time.
You may start your contract at any time of the year - for example, January. When your second appointment is due (July), you may book it anytime during the sixth month. If you are on holiday, we can book your appointment during the first half of the next month, or even book it earlier - please let us know if you are on holiday.
Please allow up to 90 minutes for each visit.
Each visit will consist of a standard piano tuning (at pitch settled) and may include some mechanism adjustments & toning.
Please allow at least 48 hours notice for any cancellation or you may be charged an additional fee.
For all tuning contracts, your piano will need to be reasonably good condition and all notes working.

← Dinner with the Parents: The Dessert.
Dearest T and I finally payed a visit to 12 munchies, whose Facebook page allured us for such a long time with delicious looking treats. We decided to go to their Aumannplatz subsidiary and have some girl talk with coffee and something sweet.
And I can tell you, we will be back.
It was hard to decide for a treat, because everything on display looked absolutely scrumptious. But we were given all the time we needed. Choosing a coffee variety was much easier – Look at this selection!
But we did it. T decided to have a Cheesecake Brownie and I picked a Blueberry Scone. We also got a Latte Macchiato and a Melange and sat down on the cosy couch. What’s great: You can have a glass of water whenever you want, just walk over to the water jug and serve yourself.
And I loved my Blueberry Scone! It tasted like butter, blueberries and love. It was great. Perfect with coffee. I want to have another one right now.
The price of 3,50 € and 2,90 € is maybe a bit high if I think about what it would cost me if I baked it myself. But thinking about all the other costs a little shop like that has to deal with, it’s quite okay. Also, nobody goes there every day – That would be far to unhealthy for you – and for this one special treat to indulge in, I’m sure you want to pay for quality and freshness.
But not only our baked goods were great, also the atmosphere in the little shop. Aside from the perfect interior design of this 12 munchies subsidiary, everyone coming in seemed to know each other. So many little kindergarten children walked in with their parents and picked out their afternoon treats – Cake Pops were especially popular.
A little girl sitting vis-à-vis was eating one of those M&M’s-cookies – It was so big it looked like a full meal for her. And she was enjoying it to the full! I just love how children can eat anything without thinking about it being healthy or not. Loved that.
But at 12 munchies, there are not only sweet things to treat you with but also savoury goods like sandwiches and quiches. They look great, too, and I’d love to have one of them for a snack.
The nice guy behind the counter was friendly to everyone and joked around with all the children. We felt very welcome. But I think it will be very hard so get a place to sit down most of the time – There are only few seats available on the cosy couches and about three chairs in the little shop. But now that it’s getting warm, it would be great to take something yummy and sit outside in the sun!
Characteristic: Come in and feel like a part of the family. Choice of treats changes every day – So they come fresh from the oven!

I think I can well and truly say that I found my hobby.
I joined the Desert Vista Dyeworks Unofficial Sock club this year. Basically, you knit one pair of socks using DVD each month and earn discounts on DVD yarn, other yarn-y notions, and if knit one pair each month for 12 months, you get a free skein of special yarn. I really, really wanted to knit a lot of socks this year so I thought I’d try it.
For March, I decided to share the sock love and offered Jesse a pair. He picked out the colorway called Slinky. We had a good laugh once I started knitting it up. Everything in our house seems to be gray, blue, orange, and yellow lately.
I’ve also managed to finish two cowls and a pair of socks. The cowl I’m wearing was knit using the Purl Bee Big Herringbone Cowl pattern. I used two skeins of Malabrigo Worsted in colorway Alpine Pearl that I purchased at The Yarnery when I was visiting the Twin Cities (that place is packed with lots of good yarn – I love to visit). My bind off isn’t great – and it rolls a little at the edge – once it’s wrapped around my neck, you can’t even tell. And I love how the variagated yarn looks with the herringbone pattern.
The other cowl was one I finished in about four hours of knitting time. I had just finished my March DVD socks and was staring at my stash trying to figure out what to do next when I spotted these two skeins of gorgeous Tanis Fiber Arts Gray Label in Margarita. I wound them, cast on 135 stitches in the round, and just used a simple seed stitch (alternating skeins) until I was out of yarn and then bound off. I love how it turned out. And it’s perfect for the spring season.
The other random pair of socks were supposed to be a present, but they didn’t get done in time so I added them to my own sock drawer. I used Simply Sock Yarn Company’s Poste Yarn in Christmas Island. I purchased a couple of skeins of Poste and I’m not 100% on how I feel about it. Do you have a favorite sock yarn?
So that’s my quarterly yarny review (brought to you in large part to the first 4 seasons of Breaking Bad). I have a couple more projects I’ve wound and I’m impatiently waiting for April 1 to start so I can cast on my DVD socks.
I love seeing all your knitting projects, Kate 🙂 . That herringbone stitch pattern is GORGEOUS, but oh my gosh it looks complicated! (I clicked on the link and checked out the instructions). Did you find once you got the hang of it it became pretty easy?
I would love to know if YOU have a favourite sock yarn, Kate! When I chose yarn this past fall, I specified to the shop owner that I needed an uber-NON-itchy merino (both my daughter and I are fairly sensitive to wool), so was steered to the Malabrigo and to the Alegria. The Alegria has the 25% polyamide for strength, but the Malabrigo didn’t … and very disappointingly, one of the Malabrigo socks I knit for myself in December already has a hole. (And I admit I almost cried … I will darn it, but still … ). Needless to say, I’m really really really hoping the Alegria will be more durable (I had bought four skeins of it, and have finished two pairs for my daughter and am just now working on the first pair for me). And speaking of socks, I’ve been meaning to ask you, do you find your knitted socks slowly get smaller and smaller with each wash? (This seems to have been the case with the Malabrigo, which possibly explains the hole). (I machine wash cold and hang to dry).
I’m going to look into the Alegria!! I love Malabrigo, but I’ve never knit socks with it! I wish I could recommend a sock yarn. I’ve purchased a lot of indie dyers and my two favorites are Mustache Yarns (it’s next to impossible to get a skein on her website – she sells out so quickly. I’ve picked up one ravelry and one I lucked out by stumbling on an update time and setting a reminder on my phone. I also use The Lemonade Shop on etsy (usually I order on her mighty sock or sparkle sock bases). For commercial dyers, the only sock yarns I’ve used are Knit Picks Felici and they only do special runs. I have a couple of skeins of Reggia stashed but I haven’t given them a go yet (I know a lot of sock makers love them.) I will say that I’ve NEVER knit a pair of just merino wool socks. I almost always have 20% nylon and usually 25. I’m too hard on my shoes/socks and I know it wouldn’t take me any time at all before I had them destroyed otherwise!!
I usually get some shrinkage my first wash but I don’t notice much more than that. I wash cold gentle cycle, reshape a little (sometimes) and hang dry. Do you have sock blockers? I only use mine when I’m shaping mine for the first time, but they might help gently stretch your yarn back to size while it’s still wet?
Thanks, Kate! I’ve been wanting to make myself a scarf for quite a while, and if I can ever manage to tear myself away from the sock knitting, this herringbone stitch is definitely going to be the pattern I use!
And no, I don’t have sock blockers, but I have been gently reshaping my socks after washing them. In future I won’t ever again risk a 100% merino yarn for socks. Once I’ve knit up the last ball of Alegria I’ll maybe try out the Reggia — I know I’ve seen it in my local store, and after googling it (now that you’ve mentioned it) I see that a lot of people say it’s a very durable sock yarn and that it’s also not itchy.
On hand-knitted socks and luxury … I would say they are “luxurious” (or they can be, depending on the yarn), but I’m not sure I would agree that they’re a “luxury”, but my rambling thinking on this matter is probably an entire post so I’m just going to stop right here 😉 !
They really ARE luxurious. Between the cost of the yarn and time, I’ve heard more than once I’m a bit crazy to make something I can buy for $5 a 10 pack, but I love making them.
And I have decided life is far too short to fit in all th crafting I want to do!!

Millennials have been the majority age cohort in U.S. workplaces since 2015, and by 2030, they will make up 75% of all positions. At the same time, Baby Boomers will be retiring at a great rate over the next decade. Approximately 10,000 will retire every day over that period.
It’s clear that Millennials will be the next leadership generation. What is being done to develop their leadership qualities, and what will they be like as leaders?
It’s an interesting question. According to a recent Harvard Business Review, companies like Johnson & Johnson have specific development programs for Millennials.
What does being an entrepreneur mean?
What does being an entrepreneur look like?
What might business models of the future look like?
TAP and similar programs also create experiences where future leaders experience new techniques and benefit from analogous learning — in other words, learning from experiences that may seem to be far removed from participants’ wheelhouses. People responsible for cancer screening programs, for example, have been paired with the business leadership of home goods products. The result? A joint emphasis on the consumer experience, and what they want and need.
Millennials will be managing the newest members of the workforce, Generation Z.
In other ways, Millennials face the future with traits that reflect their upbringing. It is often commented on, for example, that they are technology forward and have never known a world without computers, cell phones, and online capacity. But as a characteristic of a generation, that is fading away to simply become how the business and other worlds operate.
As the U.S. grows more diverse, Millennials are poised to bring more diversity to the workplace. They are more tolerant than generations past and more likely to see a diverse workplace as normative.
They have often been criticized in the past for being fickle towards employers. But as Forbes points out, quoting data from the Pew Charitable Trust, their job-hopping rep was more likely a function of their age at one point than of a generational characteristic.
In one way, they resemble the generations past. They will have to manage a new generation. Generation Z, the cohort born in the 2000s, is the latest age cohort to enter the workforce. Millennials will be dealing with whatever challenges the latest group brings.
They will also be dealing with technological challenges just as cohorts in the past did, although the nature of the technological challenges won’t be gizmos or desks or in pockets. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the workplace’s latest challenge. Whether it will benefit U.S. workplaces or cause disruption in employment and other sectors largely remains to be seen, but the ultimate deployment will be the decision of Millennial managers.

During the 90's, popular noon time TV show Eat Bulaga would play a commercial about a certain beach resort in Mindanao towards the end of the program. As a kid, my eyes would lit up every time I see how beautiful it is and wished I could go there someday.
So friends, let me welcome you to my childhood dream destination -- Dakak Park & Beach Resort!
After spending the afternoon touring around Dapitan City, our friend/tour guide brought us to Dakak to check in. From the main road, we had to go through two check points to get to the reception area. At the second check point, we had to give our name for checking if we're on the guest list. I feel so secured knowing that they take security here quite seriously.
Dakak Park & Beach Resort opened its gates to the public in 1988 as the first 5-Star resort in Mindanao with an AAA accreditation from the Department of Tourism. To date, the resort boasts 158 fully furnished rooms ready for occupancy scattered all over the huge estate.
The first thing I noticed upon arrival is this huge chandelier in the middle of the of the reception area.
And then the reception area with leather sofas in different colors.
My friends and I booked the Dakak Ta Bai Package through Fantasyland Travel & Tour Corporation (contact them at +639176277991 or +63922815912) at a discounted rate of Php5, 000 per person for twin and triple sharing. The package includes 3 days and 2 nights deluxe room accommodation, round trip airport transfers, free use of the resort facilities and complimentary all rides ticket pass at Fantasyland sa Dapitan.
During the check-in process, the manager told us that they can offer another package which costs Php1800 lower than what we paid for. Since we already paid Fantasyland Travel in full and they cannot refund the difference, we'll just have to use it for some other services like payment in the restaurants and booking a massage.
Welcome drinks is too sour!
We took a van going to the room along with our bags since it was quite far from the reception area. The place is really huge that's why they offer shuttle services if you want to go from one place to another.
The rooms are Filipino-inspired which is very noticeable starting with the capiz windows and rattan chairs at the veranda. We had an obstructed view of the beach and the kiddie pool but I'm not really complaining here since they will have to cut down a few trees to be able to offer a nicer view. So no thank you.
For a 24-year old resort, the rooms at Dakak are well maintained! There are no discolorations on the paints, the air-conditioning is working perfectly well and definitely no odd smell of old furniture.
Our room has 2 beds (a double and a single bed), a fully functional hot and cold shower and an old school television that needs an upgrade.
Unlike in other resorts where you don't have an option but to eat in the same restaurant all the time, Dakak Park & Beach Resort has 3 restaurants namely Il Patio Ristorante Italiano, Sushi Bar at Verandah and Port Orient if you prefer al fresco dining by the beach.
I also saw this Chinese-inspired hall which by the looks of it is used for occasions hosted at the resort like weddings, birthdays and company events.
The years of waiting and drooling is finally over because I am now indeed in my dream destination!
The 750-meter white sand beach at Dakak is breathtakingly beautiful especially in person!
After having a buffet dinner at Port Orient, we went back to the reception area and waited for the bus that took us to Gloria's Fantasyland as part of the package. It was a hectic first day touring around the historical landmarks in Dapitan so we decided to top it up some more with a night of adventure at Mindanao's very own theme park located at Sunset Boulevard.
More on that and the other activities we did at Dakak on the next posts. Watch out for it guys!
If you are within the area on small business that could carry longer when compared to a 1 week or a couple, an apartment will make the keep more fulfilling until finally it's time for you to go back home. Whatsoever the reason behind remaining in the region to have an extended occasion, you need to find Right Type Of Vancouver Corporate Housing For Your Executives the most from a keep.

This entry was posted on November 17, 2014 by PLADInc.
Indialantic, FL -- PLAD, INC. recently showcased its revolutionary Portable Lift Assist Device at this year’s EMS World Expo in Nashville, TN.
“We recently launched our new Portable Lift Assist Device at EMLRC's ClinCon 2014 with overwhelming support and positive feedback,” stated Bobby Clark, Chief Executive Officer of PLAD, Inc. “We were excited to demonstrate the PLAD again at the EMS World Expo to key decision makers in our industry."
“The product speaks for itself and will be showcased at an amazing event," stated Matthew Nicoletti, Managing Partner of PLAD, Inc.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) reported that approximately 81,000 firefighters in the United States were injured during 2002 at a cost of $3–8 billion. Most injuries to firefighters occur on the fireground, and many of these injuries are musculoskeletal-related. The musculoskeletal system’s primary functions include supporting the body, allowing motion and protecting vital organs. Sprains and strains, including those of the low back and abdominal regions, account for most of the musculoskeletal injuries in firefighters. And back injuries represent the vast majority of these injuries. Further, low back injury is the most common injury related to early retirement from the fire service.
The high rate of low back injuries can be attributed to the high-risk activities that firefighters are expected to perform, such lift assists. These tasks are often accomplished while the body’s posture is ergonomically unsound or on unstable ground.
To purchase a Portable Lift Assist Device (P.L.A.D), please visit: www.pladinc.com. To view the P.L.A.D. in action, visit http://youtu.be/QxrqmwW_Vzs and http://youtu.be/AHX3sXqtGrA.
In professions such as firefighting, nursing, and first responders back injuries are a common problem when performing lift assists on individuals while on the job. Statistics show that in these professions, especially within the field of Emergency Medical Services, the rate of back injuries is very high with an increasing percentage of those back injuries being career ending. These back injures not only impact these individuals’ lives, but there is a large resource and monetary impact from Workman’s compensation claims that can cripple municipalities. Prior to the PLAD, there has not been a solution to lift assists that takes the possibility of back injuries out of the equation.
Firefighter Mike Pannucci was finishing up medic school when he was tasked with a final project that required him to provide a solution to a current problem the industry faces and present that solution to the class. From his experience as a firefighter, he knew exactly what he wanted to base his project around and that would be the growing number of back injuries associated with lift assists. From this class, this assignment, the PLAD was conceived.
Looking for assistance to help design and fabricate a device that could safely lift an individual, Mike turned to longtime friend and designer, Bobby Clark. Together, the two worked successfully on finding the right balance between a device that was extremely portable and could easily be deployed to safely and comfortably lift a person to a seated position. They went through several iterations of the PLAD until the final product that is available today got their final stamp of approval.
PLAD's main mission is to eliminate the possibility of back injuries from performing lift assists. By creating a lifting device that is light weight and extremely portable, countless other benefits were also created in the process. In the case of firefighters, multiple teams of two no longer are required to assist in a lift where the individual weights over a certain amount. A team of two can easily deploy the PLAD and safely lift an extremely heavy individual without compromising themselves thus freeing up additional resources, which otherwise would be needed for a team lift. Commonly, when performing lift assists, it can be time consuming just trying to figure out the approach to lift the individual. With the PLAD, that guess work is a non-factor because the PLAD can be deployed within a couple of minutes, which greatly shortens the time the fallen individual is in a compromising position.
Now that you are aware of the PLAD, the most portable lift assist device available, can you afford to send your team out in the field to perform a lift assist with the possibility of one of them injuring their backs? Would you perform that lift assist yourself?

On a night that saw senior Ashley Oldshue register her 1,000th career point, the Emory women's basketball team came away with their fifth straight win following a victory over Agnes Scott College. The Eagles raised their overall record to 7-2 after posting an 86-47-verdict over the Scotties who fell to 0-9.
Needing nine points to reach 1,000, Oldshue became the 10th player in program history to join that club with a bucket with 7:15 left in the second quarter. She finished the evening scoring a game-high 14 points (eighth double-figure outing of the year) on seven-of-11 shooting from the floor.
Sophomore Blair Ripley came off the bench and rounded out Emory's double-figure scorers with 12 points, converting five field goals in eight opportunities. Senior Azzairia Jackson-Sherrod, junior Lindsey and sophomore Laura Scheckter all contributed eight points with Jackson-Sherrod pulling down a game-leading six rebounds. All totaled, 14 of the 16 Emory players who saw action found their way into the scoring column.
Emory finished the contest shooting 50 percent (37-of-74) from the field and was successful on 43.8 percent of its three-point tries, hitting seven-of-16 from distance. Sophomore Lynn Johnson and freshman Anna Arato led the team in that department with two triples apiece. Emory finished with a season-high 28 assists, tying the ninth-highest single-game mark in school history, with Tse pacing all players with nine over 21 minutes of action.
Holding a 15-10 lead after the opening 10 minutes, the Eagles blew the game wide open with a 17-0 blitz to start the second stanza, with ASC not registering a point until there was 3:29 left in the frame. Allison Chernow scored five points during that run while Oldshue and Jackson-Sherrod each chipped in four points. Emory outpointed ASC by a 25-4 count in the second stanza in taking a 39-14 lead into the break. Oldshue rang up 10 first-half points on five-of-nine field goal shooting while Jackson-Sherrod added six. Emory connected on 45 percent (18-of-40) of its field goal attempts while the Scotties checked in at 23.5 percent (4-of-17). ASC was hampered by 16 turnovers with the Eagles chalking up 13 steals.
Emory now breaks for finals and the holidays with the team returning to action on Dec. 29 when it ventures to Rhodes College.

J. Michael Keeling, president of The ESOP Association, moderates a discussion on the outlook for ESOPs in 2013 between Greg Brown, a partner at Katten Muchin Rosenman LLP, Steven M. Burke, director at McLane, Graf, Raulerson, & Middleton, and Ken Serwinski, CEO at Prairie Capital Advisors, Inc.
Keeling: What are the key advantages of using an ESOP structure? In the United States, will an altered tax environment affect these benefits?
Brown: The key advantages to an ESOP are tax advantages: the tax deferral for a selling shareholder and tax deductions for the employer for contributions to the ESOP to repay ESOP debt. In addition, where an ESOP owns all of the outstanding stock of the employer that has elected to be treated as an S Corporation, neither the ESOP nor the employer pays any federal income taxes. The cash flow enhancements to the employer often mean better loan terms for leveraged ESOPs. Other advantages include the possibility of enhanced employee productivity and the existence of a friendly market for the company owners who seek liquidity, diversification, controlled ownership succession, and so on. With the long-term capital gains rates effectively increased from 15 percent to 23.8 percent, the tax deferral for C Corporation ESOPs has become more attractive.
Burke: An ESOP is a powerful tool for rewarding and incentivising employees while at the same time creating liquidity for business owners. It enables employees to accumulate tax-deferred retirement benefits without requiring any employee contributions – unlike most IRA or 401(k) plans. As the shares in the ESOP appreciate, employees benefit from their contribution to the growth in the value of the company. At the same time, an ESOP creates a market for otherwise illiquid company shares. By using an ESOP, the company can bear the cost of buying out its owners – including through tax-advantaged borrowing – and, if it is a C Corporation, can deduct those costs. No such deduction is available to an S Corporation, but the portion of the corporation’s earnings allocable to the ESOP is completely untaxed. Recent increases in US individual income tax rates have made these advantages even more impressive.
Serwinski: ESOPs are used to create liquidity events in part or in full for selling shareholders. They are used in situations where a company wishes to remain independent and allow itself to recapitalise in order to move ownership of shares to the next generation. In some cases, they are also used to create liquidity events for private equity firms where there is a question as to the investment's marketability. In all cases, there are advantages for the company, shareholders and employees that vary based on the company's tax status. In the case of C Corporation taxation, selling shareholders may enjoy a capital gains tax deferral if the ESOP acquired at least 30 percent of the outstanding stock. This deferral requires sellers to move the basis in their company stock to a portfolio of qualified US replacement securities within one year of the sale. The sponsoring company will be able to borrow money and repay the debt associated with ESOP, with pre-tax dollars rather than after-tax dollars as is the case with any other loan. Finally, the advantage to the employee is simple − no money to repay this loan comes from the employees. The company uses future cash flow and profits to repay the loan. The S Corporation shareholder sees some significant differences. There is no tax deferral available to these shareholders and they are taxed at current capital gains tax rates. The company and its employees enjoy the same benefits as the C Corporation but there is one significant advantage. The S Corporation ESOP company is tax exempt for its portion of taxable income. Therefore, a 100 percent S Corporation ESOP pays no taxes on income either at the federal or state level. This provides a distinct economic advantage by retaining all cash flow. In January 2013, tax rates increased related to capital gains with these rates increasing by 5 percent to 20 percent.
Keeling: What factors should companies consider before implementing an ESOP?
Burke: There are many factors to consider before implementing an ESOP, including cash flow – before and after the transaction, management succession, regulatory compliance, effect on existing contracts and loans, and effect on employee morale and corporate culture. For instance, if an ESOP uses leverage to purchase shares, the company should analyse its projected operational results to verify that it will have sufficient cash flow to meet operational needs and fund loan payments. Companies should also consider how an ESOP might change the relationship between the owners and the board of directors, since an ESOP is an owner who must act in a fiduciary capacity on behalf of the employees. Furthermore, the implementation of an ESOP requires compliance with regulatory matters that must be analysed early in the process. Lastly, a company should consider its workforce and determine whether an ESOP will achieve the intended goals of increasing moral and improving productivity.
Serwinski: The most critical consideration in implementing an ESOP is the honest evaluation of the company's operating model. Remember that, first and foremost, the company is going to create significant leverage that is non-productive in nature. The soundness of the operating model, therefore, needs to be in place. A critical portion of the analysis necessary to determine the feasibility of an ESOP is to understand the future working capital and capital expenditure needs over the next several years, and integrate that along with the cash flow demands of the ESOP. Certainly, in the case of the S Corporation, the tax-free status that the company will enjoy is critical in the analysis prepared for shareholders and their lending institutions.
Brown: We strongly recommend that companies have a feasibility study done before implementing an ESOP. Such a study will review historical financial performance and projections, the employee compensation base and financing prospects, the lending base, future repurchase obligations, corporate contingencies – lawsuits, environmental and tax issues – and the projected value of the company’s stock. By reviewing all of these issues, the company, its owners, management and board will be in a position to make a reasoned and informed decision.
Serwinski: Though some larger companies have utilised an ESOP strategy, the bulk of transactions are smaller private companies that have values in the $20m to $100m range. Larger value companies tend to attract strategic purchasers due to a number of reasons including better capitalisation, management depth, diversified product/service offerings and a shareholder base less likely to want its culture and company to survive through the next generation. Recently, there has been an increase in smaller, thinly-traded public companies looking to create an alternative liquidity strategy. This is also true with other regulated businesses such as regional and community banks that have had significant shareholder liquidity issues since the last recession.
Brown: Over the last several years I have seen several large private companies turn to the ESOP structure as an exit strategy for its shareholders. The tax advantages are certainly a factor, but often keeping the company independent with the family name attached is at least as important. These companies are usually well capitalised and liquid, thus financing for the ESOP transaction is relatively easy.
Burke: While ESOPs are more common in smaller businesses, we do see some larger closely held corporations exploring ESOPs. Large corporations can realise significant tax advantages and provide employee incentives by using an ESOP. A selling shareholder of a C Corporation can defer US income taxation on certain sales proceeds, if they are reinvested in securities of US operating companies. A C corporation can also deduct reasonable dividends paid on ESOP-held stock and contributions to the ESOP up to 25 percent of covered payroll. Moreover, a large corporation that is considering growth via acquisition may find that having an ESOP as a shareholder provides it a tax advantage over other non-ESOP owned companies that could be bidding on the same targets, both in pricing for the transaction and its post-closing profitability.
Keeling: Has there been an increase of government enforcement with respect to ESOPs? Which areas and issues are in the spotlight?
Brown: During the last three years we have experienced increased enforcement activities by the US Department of Labor with respect to ESOPs. The key issue is valuation and whether the final projections used in completing the valuations are reasonable.
Burke: Yes, there has been an increase. The DOL has increased the frequency with which it reviews valuations establishing an ESOP’s stock purchase price and the ESOP trustee’s role in accepting the valuation. We believe this will be a continued focus of the DOL. Additionally, the Internal Revenue Service continues to audit ESOPs and their operations. Its focus is on ensuring that highly compensated employees do not benefit disproportionately from the ESOP. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 409(p), an ESOP established by an S Corporation must provide that no portion of the ESOP’s assets can accrue for the benefit of a disqualified person during a non-allocation year. This section prevents excess accumulation of benefits to larger stockholders in an S Corporation that has an ESOP. Violation of Section 409(p) can be catastrophic for a company and its employees.
Serwinski: As ESOPs are qualified retirement plans, their oversight is performed by both the Internal Revenue Service and the US Department of Labor (DOL). Though both groups focus on a variety of issues, it is the DOL that has caused anxiety in their investigations (audits) of ESOP plans and their sponsors. Their focus tends to be on valuations and possible self-dealing at the point of the transaction. Though self-dealing is reprehensible on all levels, valuation issues have been more problematic. Their reviews occur subsequent to the closing of transaction with some occurring years later. Some investigations include companies that did transactions prior to the recession and, subsequently, suffered a drop in share price. These 'stock drop' cases allege that financial advisors to trustees should have known that the recession would adversely affect company performance and, therefore, overvalued the company. Needless to say, crystal balls are not provided to MBAs at graduation − if they were, homes would have been sold and 401ks would have been liquidated prior to the market collapse. It remains to be seen how this will be resolved, but this is a real issue at this time.
Keeling: What are the features of the sale of S and C Corporations to an ESOP?
Burke: The ESOP structure allows a C Corporation to use pre-tax dollars to fund the purchase of shares from selling shareholders. Additionally, a selling C Corporation shareholder can defer US federal income tax on shares sold to the ESOP if the ESOP ends up with at least 30 percent ownership in the company and the selling shareholder buys qualified replacement securities. Multiple selling shareholders can combine their sales in a single transaction to enable the ESOP to meet the 30 percent threshold. Although S Corporation shareholders cannot benefit from this deferred taxation, to the extent an ESOP owns an S Corporation, the Corporation’s income will be exempt from US federal income taxes. Thus, both S and C Corporations can utilise ESOP ownership to manage tax liability.
Brown: Where the sale of an S Corporation to an ESOP is involved, we often see a combination of third-party and seller financing, so that the ESOP can achieve 100 percent ownership with the related tax efficiency. If the ESOP owns less than 100 percent, then the company will normally need to make distributions to the non-ESOP shareholders to enable them to make estimated tax payments but must also make distributions to the ESOP because of the one-class of stock requirement for S Corporations. Where C Corporation stock is being sold to an ESOP, normally the initial sale is designed to have the ESOP acquire at least 30 percent of the company’s stock to allow the selling shareholders to elect to defer gain on the sale. The ESOP loan amortisation schedule is designed to balance the timing of contributions for tax deductions and to control repurchase liability.
Keeling: What regulatory and legislative developments do you anticipate in 2013?
Serwinski: As part of a comprehensive plan spearheaded by the DOL to tighten regulations on all retirement plans, ESOPs have been targeted in the area of private securities valuation and its impact on the transaction at the point of share purchase. The DOL has proposed regulations that would make financial advisory firms that provide trustees with valuations, fairness and adequate consideration opinions, fiduciaries. This is an aggressive position with no precedent. Trustees of ESOPs are charged with making the investment decision to acquire the shares of stock based on their due diligence, as well as opinions from their legal and financial advisors. The proposed regulations will be resubmitted for comments sometime in early summer 2013. It remains likely that the DOL will continue to seek this fiduciary change, but is unlikely to provide guidance as to how fiduciary responsibility will be split between financial advisor and trustee. It is also anticipated that serious discussions on tax reform will begin this spring. Any time tax reform has occurred in the past, retirement plans come under review and are at risk from changes that can create tax revenue.
Brown: We expect to see the US Department of Labor re-propose a regulation that would make ESOP appraisers, at least in some instances, fiduciaries subject to all of ERISA’s fiduciary duty and liability provisions. We have already seen Congress increase the rate for long-term capital gains from 15 percent to 23.8 percent, thereby making tax-deferred sales to ESOPs more attractive.
Burke: The US Department of Labor (DOL) has recently filed several actions alleging failure by ESOP trustees to review valuation reports adequately in connection with sales of stock to ESOPs, allegedly causing the ESOPs to overpay for shares. We anticipate that the DOL will continue to focus its attention in this area. Additionally, the DOL continues its work on proposing regulations expanding the scope of people who qualify as fiduciaries for pension plans. Of particular importance to the ESOP community, the first draft of the proposed regulations included appraisers who provide valuation reports for ESOPs as fiduciaries. Despite determined opposition from the ESOP community and some members of the US Congress, and subsequent withdrawal of the draft proposed regulation, the DOL may still seek to expand the definition of fiduciary to include valuation experts. The issue remains unresolved.
Keeling: How have ESOPs been received in jurisdictions outside of the US? What specific challenges has adoption of ESOPs faced in these regions?
Brown: ESOPs, as conceived in the US, have been viable on a case-by-case basis in the UK and Ireland, but certainly are not universal. Extending a US-based ESOP to employees at foreign subsidiaries and affiliates can be very complicated, involving employer and employee tax issues, employment law, securities law and foreign exchange law issues. More likely to be established are programs such as a UK Share Incentive Plan or a UK Tax Favored Share Option Scheme.
Burke: Although ESOP-like structures are uncommon outside the US, non-US owners of businesses with operations in the US can attain the same benefits from an ESOP as a US business owner would. A non-US person cannot own stock in an S Corporation, but the tax advantages and employee relations benefits of establishing an ESOP for a C Corporation apply regardless of the nationality of the historical owners. Since non-US owners are typically less familiar with the ESOP structure, the challenge for advisors is to explain the benefits of ESOPs and dispel myths. For instance, many owners fear that selling to an ESOP will cause them to lose management control. In fact, historical owners can maintain control after sale to an ESOP by limiting the size of the stake held by the ESOP, using mechanisms like rights-of-first-refusal to repurchase shares, and limiting issues on which employees can vote their shares.
Serwinski: Under US law, employees working outside the country cannot be included in this retirement plan. Since many countries maintain their own pension schemes, US companies have established phantom share plans that mimic their ESOP. The plans, unlike the broad-based ownership plan in the US, can be discriminatory and are taxed at regular income tax rates upon a liquidity event. In the last few years, employee ownership plans have seen higher levels of interest in the UK, Canada and Australia. These plans do not carry the level of tax benefits that are available in the US.
Keeling: Do you except to see an increase in the use of ESOPs over the coming year? What factors might be set to influence this trend?
Burke: The leading edge of the baby boomer generation is transitioning from their working lives to retirement. This generational shift is going to involve a massive transition of wealth, and we expect that ESOPs will be a popular tool for financing the exits of historical owners. ESOPs will be attractive for two reasons. First, in a down market, strategic buyers may be difficult to find. An ESOP can provide an alternative market for the historical owners’ shares. To the extent credit is difficult to obtain, shareholder loans can provide internal financing for an ESOP purchase. This is particularly important for many service-oriented businesses that lack hard assets. Second, many business owners value the culture they have created within their companies. The use of an ESOP allows them to transition ownership to people who share their history and values, thereby maintaining the established corporate culture.
Serwinski: The short answer is 'it depends'. History tells us business owner confidence, availability of financing, and successful operating performance will be the measures for continued ESOP implementations. The banks continue to seek loans and have become measurably more aggressive in seeking earning assets. However, the biggest barometer is the unknown of US economic growth. Should a prolonged recession in Europe and Asia continue through the second quarter, private company business owners may take their historical conservative views and hold back from entering into any ownership transition plans. Through the first two months of 2013, however, activity remains strong with the ESOP community believing that the year will mirror 2012, a successful year for new transactions.
Brown: Yes, we definitely expect to see expanded use of ESOPs during 2013. This is because many companies have deferred ownership succession issues over the past five years and now most companies have seen their value restored or increased since the Great Recession, and leveraged funds are available at favourable interest rates and terms. With the increase in long-term capital gains rates, the tax deferrals available on sales of stock to ESOPs have become more attractive.

What Will the FBI Investigation on Kavanaugh Entail?
On Friday, President Trump ordered the FBI to investigate Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault accusation against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh — but what does that mean, exactly?
Trump said the probe "must be limited in scope and completed in less than one week."
FBI agents will almost certainly interview Kavanaugh, Ford and other potential witnesses to the alleged attack, NBC News reported.
The setting for these interviews will be far different than Thursday's extraordinary hearing on Capitol Hill where Ford and Kavanaugh answered questions before a panel of senators.

Ah, a beautiful summer afternoon. You have a chilled drink and a good book, and you are happily relaxing underneath your gorgeous wooden pergola. Everything is perfect, except that the sun has just dipped to the point in the sky that it is shining right into your eyes no matter how you hold your head. Sure, you could turn your chair around, or (gasp) go back inside, but there is no need to take drastic measures…just close your pergola curtains.
We’re the first to admit it’s an unusual idea, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a good one; and we know that our curtain tracks and drapery hardware have many uses beyond covering windows or sliding a divider around a hospital bed. Well-chosen tracks and pergola curtains can change a lovely, but ordinary, pergola into a luxurious outdoor area with a cabana feel that is great for summer entertaining. You’ve already gone to the work and expense to have this beautiful space outside – why not go the extra mile to make it truly spectacular?
A ceiling-mounted curtain track such as our 32124 Low Profile Ceiling Mount Curtain Track can be installed into any of the horizontal beams that suits your need. It is available in multiple lengths and doesn’t require brackets (i.e. it is drilled directly into the beam). A track such as our 6100 Flexible Curtain Track can be bent by hand without compromising strength, to go around the perimeter of the whole structure. Any track you use will allow you to hang practical light-blocking panels or mosquito netting, but there are also style possibilities. Colorful curtains will liven up the area; rich textures will add to the luxurious feel. A couple of sheer panels flowing in the breeze will give an exotic feel, and custom tie-backs add a touch of elegance, as can be seen in this week’s photo found on Pinterest.
We would love to help you pick the right tracks for hanging pergola curtains. Give us a call at 888-434-7444 and our knowledgeable sales staff will be happy to talk with you.
This is a dream of every human being to hold a candle light dinner with his/her dearest one at this spot because this place is looking so beautiful with candles in the summer night and Curtains plays an important part in this. You all can transform your own place to a dream place by following this blog. Thanks a lot for sharing this.

For most of us modern yoga consists of a physical practice of āsana and meditation techniques for the mind, which range from the traditional Hatha yoga style to the beautifully fluidic modalities which have recently been evolving.
As this practice deepens, whether we started out looking to strengthen our body or mind, we eventually notice a change within our physical and mental selves, and an inherent link between these and our spiritual side.
Within the spaces between our breath and our thoughts, we start experiencing a recalibration of our vibrations. The further we walk on this path we realise a clearer perception of the deep connection between our singular selves and all of the living creatures around us. This realisation can be described as self-awakening.
This point within our lives can be very magical; it can also be exceptionally stressful. The aspects of change and the way in which we process these depend very much on our attachment to the old ways in which we perceived and related to the world around us. Eventually, all the choices and directions in our lives point towards what really matters for the self.
To embrace these changes is called accepting our sādhanā. To learn and live our inner principles which guide our daily practices and rituals maintaining the development of our perfectly harmonious life path. There are many levels and different aspects of ones sādhanā, each one correlates with a specific moment in our existence. There is one that today has great importance and significance, due to the current delicate time which the world that we live in finds itself, Samaṣṭi sādhanā.
Samaṣṭi sādhanā, as a principle, motivates the way in which one engages oneself in activities which help to transform and improve their surroundings and community in accordance with the higher aspects of the self. This is not only on a religious or spiritual level, we as a species must consider the oneness of our planet, the way in which all the parts of nature fit like a perfect puzzle.
At this current moment in time many people have an expectation that a big change is coming to our planet. Whether it is Earth's destiny or whether it is us as a species that may or may not create this, it does not matter. What matters is our present attitude towards our collective experience as humans on this planet. There are many people talking about a greener way of living, that for life on this Earth to continue we must start changing. There are many small parts of society working towards this, but how many of us are really changing our ways, and saving the irreplaceable resources of our planet?
In this aspect, which many of us hold dear to our hearts, it is through Samaṣṭi sādhanā that we can put these ideals into practice by linking our spiritual paths to the benefit of the whole planet participating in community groups that are willing to share experiences and achievements in how to consume less, waste less and live more.
It was a cloudy August morning, in that sleep-state that can take hold of you on gloomy days, that an organic explosion of ideas came upon us. This was brought forth by a very simple question: What could they do to help, to really help? The results of it are the Yoga Village Project (YVP) and International Yoga Teacher Training Fund (IYTTF).
We are Deva and Greg the founders of Yoga Village Project (YVP) and International Yoga Teacher Training Fund (IYTTF) these two projects are becoming reality with the participation of people from all around the world. And for those which Samaṣṭi sādhanā is to enlighten the paths and minds with the truths of our existence helping us and others to reconnect to our inner shine, our inner gurus, our deepest Namaskaram to all of you.
