Google Earth opens a new kind of exploration.
The aquisition of the EarthViewer 3D from Keyhole, Inc. offered an enormours advantages to people in every walks of life. Google, as a leading company in information technology offered a great platform for the development and perfection of the creation of the Virtual Globe popularly known as Google Earth.
Google Earth changes the way we look and the way we understand about the planet we live in. It s never been easy to locate our home, our school, our place of work and everything that matters to us. With a few click of the mouse we can see the place we wanted to go and even the the actual picture using street view. The places where only the rich and famous can see or the most remote where only explorers can go, can now be seen by everyone who wishes to see.
EMPATHY BELLY: the best way to educate men about pregnancy
A few days back I watched a show in British television about the next chapter of the life of a famous glamour model and Page3 girl Jordan and Peter Andre. In the program Peter was made to wear an empathy belly and go about doing the activities of a pregnant wife like going up and down the stairs, picking stuff from the floor, sitting in the chair and driving a car, etc. It was quite fun to watch as well as educational.
Â
Indeed the empathy belly is an important tool to show the husbands the physical aspect of how it feels like to have a bump. Invented by Linda Ware of the Birthways Childbirth Resource Center Inc., it took five years of professional testing and evaluation including the analysis by the National Institute of Safety and Health.
Â
It is a tool that has a big impact on the effectiveness of teaching by counselors, nurses and midwives, family planning instructors and childbirth educators. Originally this is designed for the said purpose but ITV television took one step further; to educate husbands or expectant fathers about real difficulty experienced by their pregnant wives throughout the duration of the pregnancy.

Corruption: The people should think twice
THE PEOPLE SHOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT THE HYPOCRICY THEY PREACHÂ
Ever since I understand the meaning of the word (second grade) is only associated with politicians and people who have public responsibility. Traditioanally you will hear on the radio, TV and public forums that politicians are to blame for all the irregularities in the Philippine society. During the election period you will hear influential civic leaders campaigning against corrupt officials. Even religious leaders join in the bandwagon. What can I say? Sirang plaka.
Did anyone in this country ever thought about the real root of corruption? I was enlightened when IÂ experienced a typical and classic example of corruption.
Annoying Transpo
There is something so annoying about transportation in Manila or anywhere in the Philippines. This concerns the noise pollution that is created unnecessarily by passenger vehicles (buses and jeepney especially) in which the drivers and manufacturers took pride in having  very loud exhaust system. Sarao, Chariot and other brands. Those made in Santa Rosa if I’m not wrong (most of the drivers in metro manila know where these annoying mufflers are made) are the worst as far as I know.
The noise level is disturbing at day time and worse at night time when people are going to sleep. For me very loud exhaust system designed by manufacturers benefits no one but threatens the well being of the commuters and the population in general.  I am not an expert on acoustics but this link may provide some info about noise ang it’s effect on everyone’s health http://www.epa.gov/history/topics/noise/01.htm.
