Mark Wiley has spent decades researching and mastering Dnatural wellness practices around the world. He’s taken those techniques and pioneered a powerful, integrated mind/body approach to arthritis relief and prevention. Simply put, mainstream medicine fails to eradicate our everyday pains, illnesses and diseases. It fails because it is passive and reactionary and thus it is unable to prevent you from experiencing chronic health conditions. The important thing is to see and know that the solution to your daily suffering is grounded in a five-part process called, the Arthritis Relief Action Plan: “Dr. Wiley is one of the most Part 1: Educate yourself about the real causes and solutions of clear thinkers and writers in arthritis complimentary medicine today.

  • 2020 Conference Workshop Information FINAL
    2020 KEYNOTE AND PLENARY DESCRIPTIONS Keynote: Ken Cohen Keynote Title: The Way of Qigong: Ancient Roots, Scientific Branches Description: In the fifth century BCE Lao Zi, the founder of Daoism, wrote, “Returning to the root is called tranquility and the renewal of life.” In this dynamic talk, Ken Cohen will explore the ancient sources of qigong in Shamanism, Daoism, and Chinese medicine, and how qigong’s healing benefits are validated by modern science. Yet qigong is far more than a complementary therapy; rather, through its gentle exercises and meditations, it links us to the source of life energy in the universe, what in China is called “the original qi of Heaven and Earth.” It thus reboots the body’s entire healing system and restores balance and harmony. Bio: Ken Cohen, M.A. (www.qigonghealing.com) is a renowned Qigong Grandmaster, author of The Way of Qigong (Random House) and more than 250 journal articles, including various works in the Chinese language. With more than 50 years of experience, he was the first person to lecture about qigong in U.S. medical schools. Ken is the recipient of the International Lifetime Achievement Award in Energy Medicine. Plenary Presenter Name: Jianye Jiang Bio: Jianye Jiang has made it his life’s mission to not only continually develop himself as a martial artist but to also dedicate himself to the teaching of authentic Chinese martial arts here in America. He was born China in 1950. He began studying martial arts the age of 5, learning from the most well known masters (including Yu Mingwei, Yu Hai and many others).

  • Responses of 'Carabao' Mango to Various Ripening Agents
    Philippine Journal of Science 148 (3): 513-523, September 2019 ISSN 0031 - 7683 Date Received: 08 Apr 2019 Responses of ‘Carabao’ Mango to Various Ripening Agents Angelyn T. Lacap1, Emma Ruth V. Bayogan1*, Leizel B. Secretaria1, Christine Diana S. Lubaton1, and Daryl C. Joyce2,3 1College of Science and Mathematics, University of the Philippines Mindanao, Mintal, Tugbok District, Davao City 8022 Philippines 2School of Agriculture and Food Sciences, The University of Queensland, Gatton, QLD 4343 Australia 3Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, Ecosciences Precinct, Dutton Park, QLD 4102 Australia Calcium carbide (CaC2) reacts with moisture in the air to produce acetylene (C2H2) gas, an analog of ethylene (C2H4). Commercial sources of CaC2 may be contaminated with arsenic and phosphorous, which are also released during a chemical reaction. This constitutes a potentially serious health risk to ripeners and may contaminate the product. Although banned in many countries, CaC2 is still used in the Philippines because equally inexpensive and effective alternatives are lacking. This study investigated the relative efficacy of alternatives for ripening ‘Carabao’ mango. Fruit harvested at –1 107 d after flower induction were treated with CaC2 (2.5, 5.0, or 7.5 g kg ); ethephon (500, 1000, or 1500 μL L–1); Gliricidia sepium leaves (20% w/w); or ‘Cardava’ banana fruit (10% w/w) for 72 h. Mangoes were then held under ambient room conditions [29.9 ± 3.1°C, 77.74 ± 2.9% relative humidity (RH)] for 7 d. Assessments of peel color, firmness, and total soluble solids showed that fruit treated with higher concentrations of ethephon (1000 or 1500 μL L–1) exhibited similar ripening –1 responses as those treated with CaC2.

The authors will discuss the nature of the relationship between the various martial arts and the “psycho-phys- ical culture”. We will approach this topic from the perspectives of the Humanistic Theory of Martial Arts, martial arts systemic anthropology, and the sociology of psycho-physical systems. Methods. The main method of research has been a qualitative content analysis of the literature (scientific and popular) acquired through a query library. We studied material gathered under the theme “Martial Arts” in the Library of the University of Rzeszow, as well as a list of recommended literature suggested by the International Martial Arts and Combat Sports Scientific Society (IMACSSS) Results. Four dimensions have been traditionally investigated to justify the assignment of martial arts to the area of psycho-physical culture. These are: (1) The presence in most martial arts of an original philosophy, especially one demanding a code of ethics: (2) A close, almost “genetic” relationships between martial arts and various applicable religious systems and traditions of applied social ethics; (3) The continuing emphasis on the area of physical culture as it relates to personality development and human spirituality; and (4) the presence in schools of martial arts of ceremonial events attached to “passages” in personal growth.

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 9, ISSUE 03, MARCH 2020 ISSN 2277-8616 Philippine Carabao Mango Pest Identification Using Convolutional Neural Network Antonio V. Rocha IV, Joe G. Lagarteja Abstract— The detection and management control of pests in mangoes if applied properly would result to a higher fruit production. Applying precision agriculture with the use of modern technology helps mango farmers detect and identify the different types of pests that are infesting their farms. This research study introduces a computer application development that can identify and determine mango pests based on the provided images using a smartphone. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a type of algorithm that was used to train stack of mango pest images which were pre-processed and used as a train model. Using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), the images were processed to determine the type of pests currently present on mango trees and provides the best control measure that the system would provide after detection. The neural network was designed using Keras to run on top of the deep learning framework TensorFlow. Datasets composed of 4,300 images were used for training and 800 were used to validate the CNN model. The model achieved a remarkable 88.75% accuracy rate in determining mango pests. GIS (Geographical Information Systems) was also utilized to determine affected areas in the region.

  • Martial Arts, Acting and Kung Fu Hero in Change
    EnterText 6.1 SABRINA YU Can a Wuxia Star Act? Martial Arts, Acting, and Critical Responses to Jet Li’s Once Upon A Time In China Introduction It has been commonplace in western critical discourse to state that action stars can’t act. This seems particularly true when it comes to trans-bordering Chinese action stars like Jet Li. Criticism of his acting skills in his English-language films can be easily picked up from the press: Without the fight scenes, though, this film (Romeo Must Die) would be a bust… ‘Jet is our special effect,’ says Silver, summing up his star’s appeal neatly.1 Li’s martial arts skills are as brilliant as his acting skills aren’t.2 The action is fun and ultra-violent, the story is satisfactorily ridiculous and the acting is non-existent.3 “Good martial artist with limited acting ability” seems to represent a popular view of Chinese martial arts stars and indeed this is how they are often used in Hollywood films. Nevertheless, such a view also reveals a deep-rooted bias, i.e. the martial arts star is someone who knows less about acting than s/he does about fighting. On the other hand, it reflects a dominant idea about film performance, by privileging facial Sabrina Yu: Can a Wuxia Star Act? 134 EnterText 6.1 expression/psychology over body movement/physicality. Can’t a martial arts star act? Are fighting and acting always two split, conflicting elements within a Chinese wuxia star’s performance? In this paper, I would like to re-examine this stereotypical western critical consensus in the light of the contrasting Hong Kong critical response to Jet Li’s Chinese work Once Upon A Time In China (Tsui Hark, Hong Kong, 1991) (OUATIC hereinafter).

  • The Practice of Pencak Silat in West Java
    The Politics of Inner Power: The Practice of Pencak Silat in West Java By Ian Douglas Wilson Ph.D. Thesis School of Asian Studies Murdoch University Western Australia 2002 Declaration This is my own account of the research and contains as its main content, work which has not been submitted for a degree at any university Signed, Ian Douglas Wilson Abstract Pencak silat is a form of martial arts indigenous to the Malay derived ethnic groups that populate mainland and island Southeast Asia. Far from being merely a form of self- defense, pencak silat is a pedagogic method that seeks to embody particular cultural and social ideals within the body of the practitioner. The history, culture and practice of pencak in West Java is the subject of this study. As a form of traditional education, a performance art, a component of ritual and community celebrations, a practical form of self-defense, a path to spiritual enlightenment, and more recently as a national and international sport, pencak silat is in many respects unique. It is both an integrative and diverse cultural practice that articulates a holistic perspective on the world centering upon the importance of the body as a psychosomatic whole. Changing socio-cultural conditions in Indonesia have produced new forms of pencak silat. Increasing government intervention in pencak silat throughout the New Order period has led to the development of nationalized versions that seek to inculcate state-approved values within the body of the practitioner. Pencak silat groups have also been mobilized for the purpose of pursuing political aims. Some practitioners have responded by looking inwards, outlining a path to self-realization framed by the powers, flows and desires found within the body itself.

  • The AQUINO MANAGEMENT of the PRESIDENCY
    The AQUINO MANAGEMENT Of The PRESIDENCY \ ONE WITH HER PEOPLE Published by the Presidential Management Staff Office of the President Manila, Philippines June 1992 “The politics of the present and the future is a people politics, just like the character of the revolution that brought us all here was people powered. In the same manner, the full recovery of this country and the fulfillment of this potential must be an affair of the people, and for the people. There is no other way.” President Corazon C. Aquino Magtanong Sa Pangulo September 16,1988 2 _________________________ INTRODUCTION KEEPING IN TOUCH with her people was an activity that President Aquino relentlessly pursued. To her, it was not a job; it was a source of joy, inspiration, and wisdom. One of the activities which kept President Aquino in constant touch with the people was her trips to the barrios. To those who had been used to the grandiose schemes of the past regime, President Aquino’s trips were non-events. But these regular visits assumed an informal and festive air as she talked with the rural folk. Here, without the trappings of protocol and critical eyes, President Aquino became animated and relaxed. She literally sat down with the common tao and with the local leaders – from the lowliest kagawad to the most charismatic provincial governor. To the President, this open link energized her government. Where others relied and flaunted surveys, President Aquino’s most accurate and most dependable gauge on the public pulse were her frequent one-on-one with the people from the countryside.

  • Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914
    Allegiance and Identity: Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914 by M. Carmella Cadusale Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the History Program YOUNGSTOWN STATE UNIVERSITY August, 2016 Allegiance and Identity: Race and Ethnicity in the Era of the Philippine-American War, 1898-1914 M. Carmella Cadusale I hereby release this thesis to the public. I understand that this thesis will be made available from the OhioLINK ETD Center and the Maag Library Circulation Desk for public access. I also authorize the University or other individuals to make copies of this thesis as needed for scholarly research. Signature: M. Carmella Cadusale, Student Date Approvals: Dr. L. Diane Barnes, Thesis Advisor Date Dr. David Simonelli, Committee Member Date Dr. Helene Sinnreich, Committee Member Date Dr. Salvatore A. Sanders, Dean of Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Filipino culture was founded through the amalgamation of many ethnic and cultural influences, such as centuries of Spanish colonization and the immigration of surrounding Asiatic groups as well as the long nineteenth century’s Race of Nations. However, the events of 1898 to 1914 brought a sense of national unity throughout the seven thousand islands that made the Philippine archipelago. The Philippine-American War followed by United States occupation, with the massive domestic support on the ideals of Manifest Destiny, introduced the notion of distinct racial ethnicities and cemented the birth of one national Philippine identity. The exploration on the Philippine American War and United States occupation resulted in distinguishing the three different analyses of identity each influenced by events from 1898 to 1914: 1) The identity of Filipinos through the eyes of U.S., an orientalist study of the “us” versus “them” heavily influenced by U.S.
