Kaya nga ang ating Timpalak sa Pag-sulat at Pag-bigkas ay naka-linya ngayong Agosto. Noong nakarang Huwebes, ika-5 ng Agosto, mag-kakasunod na proyekto at pag-pupulong ang mga nang-yari sa loob lamang ng isang-araw. Nariyan ang pag-pupulong sa Malanday Elementary School, Book Donation, Drug Prevention Forum at Linguhang pag-pupulong ng ating samahan. Ang inyong lingkod kasama sina; Dir. Benjie, Asec. Val, Rtn. Chalie at Sec. Allan ay dumalaw sa Mababang Paaralan ng Malanday upang iparating sa mga kinauukulan ng paaralan ang magandang balita tungkol sa pagdating ng tulong pananalapi galing sa ating mga kaibigang Hapon para sa Inte- grated Impact Feeding sa kanilang lugar. Ayon sa Matching Grant na ating nakuha may kabuuang 160 malnourished na bata ang kinakailangang pakainin, purgahin at bigyan ng bitamina sa loob ng 3 buwan, 20 dito ay kailangang gamutin sa sakit na tuberculosis. Kaugnay nito, ang inyong lingkod kasama si Asec. Val ay dumalo sa pag-pupulong na pinatawag ng City Health Office tungkol sa mga impact feed- ing na ginagawa ng ating samahan, noong ika-6 ng Agosto. Ayon sa kanila, ang mga gamot para sa pag -pupurga at tuberculosis ay maaari nilang ibigay ng libre basta’t may tamang koordinasyon lamang sa kanilang ahensya. Mababanaag mo sa mga guro at mag-aaral ang sigla at tuwa sa kanilang mga mata at labi sa ating ginawang book donation na pinangunahan ng ating Chairman Jonathan Arcellana na ginawa sa H. Bautista Elementary School kasama ang ating partner in service ang Inner Wheel Club of Marikina sa pangunguna ni Sps. Liza Masangkay. Ilan sa mga dumalo sa nasabing book donation ay sina PP Tony at Sps. Elay, PP Dante at Sps. Noemi, PP Flor at Sps. Vising, PP George, Sps Leonor at Lea, PP Noel, PP Boy, VP Dodjie, Dir. Hermie, Rtn. Charlie, Rtn. Joel, Dist. Chairman Julie, Sps. Julie, Sps. Fely, Sps. Vicky at Sec Allan. Pagkatapos ng book donation, ang samahan ng Rotaryo ng Marikina at Inner Wheel Club ng Ma- rikina ay kaagad nag-tungo sa MRYC para dumalo sa isang Forum tungkol sa Bawal na Gamot. Ang Forum na ito ay pinangungunahan ng mga Samahan ng Rotaryo sa Marikina ng Zone 4, ADAP 3800 at Tangapan ng Pangalawang Punong Lunsod. Sa mga sandaling ito, si Ginoong Riel Banaria ay ganap nang isang Rotarian. Noong Sabado, sa Dis- trict Mass Induction isa si Baby Rotarian Riel sa mga naitalagang bagong kasapi ng Rotary kasama ang mahigit 100 bagong Rotarian ng ibat-ibang samahan ng Rotaryo sa ating Distrito na ginawa sa Club Filipino na sinaksihan ng inyong lingkod kasama sina SAG Noel, PP Eric, VP Dodjie, Treas. Bernard, Sec. Allan, Dir. Hermie, Dir. Benjie, PD Edward at Sps Bernadette. Sumalang na ang ating kuponan ng Duckpin Bowling Tournament noong naka-raang lingo ng umaga na pinamumunuan ng ating PP Onie Aguinaldo. Sa unang pag-kakataon ang inyong lingkod ay ngayon lamang nakaranas mag-laro ng duckpin bowling at naka-pagtala pa ng 114 na score. Ilan sa mga kasapi ng ating kuponan na nag-alay ng oras at panahon, kahit na ito ay araw ng lingo, ay sina; PP Ro- land, PP George, PD Celso, PD Rey, Dir. Hermie, at Sec. Allan. Ang inyong lingkod ay lubos na nagagalak dahil ang Provisional Rotary Club ng Montalban ay nag- simula na ng kanilang kauna-unahang provisional meeting noong ika-11 ng Agosto sa Xander Tutoring Center. Ang pag-pupulong ay pinangunahan ng kanilang Pangulo na si Pangulong Guildon Villa- Abrille. Kasama ko’ng dumalo sa pag-pupulong ay ang Chairman ng Extension Committee na si PP Manny, PP Boy, PD Celso, VP Dodjie, Treas. Bernard at Dir. Benjie. …...continuation on page 12 3 Nang dahil sa bilin ng ating mahal na pangulo na tapusin ang lahat ng mga miyembro ng ating samahan hindi pa nakakapagsagawa ng kanilang “Classification Talk,” ating matutunghayan ngayon gabi ang isa pa sa ating kasapi na si Rtn. Jerome upang ilahad sa atin ang patungkol sa kanyang hanap- buhay. Bukas, araw ng Biyernes, tayo po ay makiisa sa pagbibigay ng mga gamit pang-eskuwela sa mga mag-aaral ng Majestic Glory Day Care Center sa Farmers 1, Barangay Tumana sa ganap na ika- sampu ng umaga. Ito po ay sa pakikipagtulungan ng Inner Wheel Club of Marikina at Rotaract Club of Marikina sa pamumuno pa rin ni Rtn. Jonathan Arcellana. Sa darating na Linggo, ika-15 ng Agosto, ating saksihan ang pagpapatuloy ng District Duckpin Bowling Tournament na ginaganap sa Market Place, Mandaluyong City sa ganap na ika-siyam ng umaga. Ito ay sa pamumuno ni Dating Pangulo Onie Aguinaldo. Kaugnay pa rin ng buwan ng wika, ating idaraos ang taunang Timpalak sa Pagsulat at Pagbig- kas na gagampanan ng mga piling mag-aaral mula sa iba’t-ibang paaralan na kinasasakupan ng ating bayang Marikina. Ito ay sa pamumuno ni pangalawang kalihim Carl Tan at sa pakiki-isa ng Inner Wheel Club of Marikina.

  • Notable Tropical Cyclones and Unusual Areas of Tropical Cyclone Formation
    A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land.[1] The EU Floods directive defines a flood as a temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water.[2] In the sense of "flowing water", the word may also be applied to the inflow of the tide. Flooding may result from the volume of water within a body of water, such as a river or lake, which overflows or breaks levees, with the result that some of the water escapes its usual boundaries.[3] While the size of a lake or other body of water will vary with seasonal changes in precipitation and snow melt, it is not a significant flood unless such escapes of water endanger land areas used by man like a village, city or other inhabited area. Floods can also occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or meanders. Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are placed in natural flood plains of rivers. While flood damage can be virtually eliminated by moving away from rivers and other bodies of water, since time out of mind, people have lived and worked by the water to seek sustenance and capitalize on the gains of cheap and easy travel and commerce by being near water. That humans continue to inhabit areas threatened by flood damage is evidence that the perceived value of living near the water exceeds the cost of repeated periodic flooding. The word "flood" comes from the Old English flod, a word common to Germanic languages (compare German Flut, Dutch vloed from the same root as is seen in flow, float; also compare with Latin fluctus, flumen).

    Automatic Detection of Contradictions in Texts Inaugural-Dissertation zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades der Philosophie des Fachbereiches 05 – Sprache, Literatur, Kultur der Justus-Liebig-Universität Gießen vorgelegt von Natali Karlova-Bourbonus, M.A. Aus Frankfurt am Main 2018 Vorsitzender: Herr Prof. Dr. Thomas Möbius Erstgutachter: Herr Prof. Dr. Henning Lobin Zweitgutachter: Herr Prof. Dr. Helmut Feilke For my little prince Philipp Acknowledgments Five years are now passed since I began my doctoral thesis on contradictions in news texts and at this point, I would like to thank everybody who helped me in finalizing it. First of all, I would like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my Doktorvater, Prof. Dr. Henning Lobin, who gave me a priceless opportunity to collect new experience in teach- ing and researching and to learn how exciting natural language processing can be. Dear Henning, thank you for supporting me the whole, often thorny, way to the completed mon- ograph from the first half-baked ideas till the last dot on the paper. I would also like to express my special thanks of gratitude to my second supervisor, Prof. Dr. Helmut Feilke. Participation in his GCSC-Kolloquium in the year 2014 led to a long- desired breakthrough in my research. I am grateful for his sharing of precious ideas with me, which laid the groundwork for my research. While reading the present monograph you will come across the statement several times that finding contradictions is a challenging task for a human. I would like to thank all the students at the University of Giessen who did not let this challenge discourage them and who, in the years 2015 and 2016, took part on my surveys conducted within the framework of the present study.

  • Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda): U.S. and International Response to Philippines Disaster
    Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda): U.S. and International Response to Philippines Disaster Thomas Lum, Coordinator Specialist in Asian Affairs Rhoda Margesson, Coordinator Specialist in International Humanitarian Policy November 25, 2013 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R43309 Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda): U.S. and International Response to Philippines Disaster Summary This report examines the impact of Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), which struck the central Philippines on November 8, 2013, and the U.S. and international response. Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) was one of the strongest typhoons (cyclones) to strike land on record. Over a 16 hour period, the “super typhoon,” with a force equivalent to a Category 5 hurricane and sustained winds of up to 195 mph, directly swept through six provinces and affected over 10% of the nation’s population of 105 million people. The areas damaged by the typhoon were some of the poorest parts of the Philippines. Congressional concerns related to the storm and its aftermath include the immediate U.S. and international humanitarian response, the impact on the U.S. foreign aid budget, the long-term U.S. foreign aid strategy for the Philippines, and how the U.S. response to the disaster may impact the U.S.-Philippines relationship as well as regional geopolitical dynamics. The disaster quickly created a humanitarian crisis. In some of the hardest hit areas, particularly in coastal communities in Leyte province and the southern tip of Eastern Samar, the storm knocked out power, telecommunications, and water supplies. Between 65% and 90% of structures were heavily damaged or destroyed. Two weeks after the typhoon, the Philippine government reported that an estimated 13.7 million people had been affected, with more than 3.43 million displaced (of which roughly 240,800 were housed in 1,096 evacuation centers).

The disaster quickly created a humanitarian crisis. In some of the hardest hit areas, particularly in coastal communities in Leyte province and the southern tip of Eastern Samar, the storm knocked out power, telecommunications, and water supplies. The humanitarian relief operation was initially hampered by a number of significant obstacles, including a general lack of transportation, extremely limited communications systems, damaged infrastructure, and seriously disrupted government services. Despite the physical and logistical challenges, regular relief activities reportedly reached most of the worst-stricken areas within two weeks of the storm. Two and a half months after the typhoon struck, United Nations (U.N.) agencies reported that 14.1 million people had been affected, with more than 4.1 million displaced. Estimates of the number killed had risen to 6,201 with more than 1,785 missing. The number of injured was unknown.
