If so, the soul should go with it, uninhibited!

(The promise is there, if they can put their soul in their singing, just about enough to be heard. They most probably have to learn to do it without mixers.))

Sa Pula Sa Puti

 

I did recall my mentioning the need for a choreographer, but I never realized that a whole dance troupe would be thrown in instead.

I was thinking of something on the line of an all-girl dance group, but never mind, nobody’s complaining about this one.

YEHEYY!

Catfish

 

There’s a fish in the country called hito. This is one fish every Filipino love to eat. In fact, this fish shares the popularity of the endemic fish called bangus (milkfish).

After a few years abroad, I never wanted to eat this fish, never wanted to touch it, nor look at one. It seems that a lot of Filipinos acquire my kind of disgruntlement with it. We expatriates have seen a lot of the fish varieties abroad and also a lot of other alternative food to eat that we forget how good and tasty the hito is when fried to a toast.

HITO, will never make another hit with us around here.

Muscle-Flexing

 

The budget for the Justice Department has been reduced for this year.

The Supreme Court issued a restraint order to the House of Representatives to stop the impeachment procedures on the Ombudsman. The Speaker says ok for now.

The President will have a meeting with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

It’s muscle-flexing, I tellya, twixt the branches of Government.

A Simplified IIRC Report?

 

Executive Secretary Ochoa received flak for his intention to simplfy the IIRC Report before this is handed over to President Noynoy.

Bad choice of word, “simplify”. He must mean condense, digest, scan,paraphrase, get the gist, or some other words used for amalgamating news items in the press rooms.

To simplify a report might mean to take out some parts or portions or even some data, like names for instance!

 

The IIRC Report

 

It is finished, was submitted, and is leaked out to the media. Did we expect something different?

Twelve people are recommended for filing of administrative charges, some of them with criminal charges. We now have twelve angry men, er, persons.

These men, er, persons, thought they did what they were supposed to do.

Did we expect something different from them?

Iron Man2

 

So that’s how it is done, pirating movies, I mean.

The movie, our example of which is the Iron man2 movie, is copied or duplicated first by capturing the images from a theater screen by a vidcam. This method, of course, is risky because a lot of times people stting in the front rows often get up to go to the washrooms and such motivations are caught on the vidcam. Nevertheless, the movie is copied.

Transfer of the movie to a dvd disk is done with the use of a computer with the software for the purpose. Large scale duplications of the movie is done with commercial-type replicators. These can copy the movie in large numbers at a time.

Moving the duplicate internationally is not done with hard disk copies. Instead the movie data is transferred thru the internet. The movie is first compressed to about a third its gigabyte size and sent through by email or by websites very much similar to that 1.78 Gigabyte Iron Man 2 I posted before this. Compressed movies, however, lose its resolution, color and chroma. The movie becomes darker on the screen, with extreme colors of yellow or red, and the reolution is not recovered.

Pirated movies can be recognized by these shortcomings, and also by the fact that the extras and other features are missing. A small portion of movie lovers would copy, or pirate, movies for their personal library. A bigger portion would pirate movies for commercial benefits. These are the real, honest-to-corrupt pirates.

Catching them would be more difficult than preventing the copyright from being compromised.

The sources of pirated movies are vidcams used on theaters, promotional dvd disks, and company thefts from employees. If these sources are cut off, would there be a need for catching pirates of movies?

But of course, there are still more people who  dubs movies by skirting the copyguards on dvd disks.  This is now a different story, eh?

PSSST!

 

No downloadee pleese. Site under meentenance!

Wait for drummers to replace this one.

 

OK, it’s fixed. I transferred the local sites (a copy of this website) to a bigger Gigabyte hardrive because the size can only get bigger. I used a trial Dreamweaver CS5. Now this version, if ever there is anything better than the Dreamweaver CS3 which I own, has no been noticeable, and perhaps purchasing a new one is not advisable. However, Adobe does make it so that the version is not transferable from one pc to the other. If you buy the Adobe Creative Suite Master Collection, it would set you back more than a couple of thousand dollars face2

AWSTATS

 

AWSTATS is one company that provides these comprehensive statistics for free. The graphics is good and the tabulation is comprehensive. How do I interpret this stats?

One way is to look at the monthly number of hits from each country, especially the five leading countries. The European Country (eu) comes in as the fifth lowest among the high hitters with 7717 hits on 7303 pages turned and 183 Mb in bandwidth. It appears that each hit views about a page and concentrates on the picture or images. These confederation of countries called the EU started hitting only a month ago. They must have discovered this site from some Filipinos there.

Next comes China (separate stats from Hongkong) with 8343 hits looking at 8247 pages but with the highest bandwidth of 357 Gb. It appears that some viewers come back to look at the same page over. And with 357 Gb, viewers actually download the video clips. A marked increase of about 32 Gb was noticed ever since ironman2.mpg was posted. This video clip is 1.7 Gb long or about 18 downloads. And sure enough, the stats show ironman2.mpg had 17 hits from China.

The United States had 16,429 hits that looked at 4181 pages only and 4.71 Gb bandwidth. It appears that the same page was viewed 4 times over. They must be at the office, opening at the same page on their free time. Or a bunch of them looking at different screens using only one network. They don’t do much downloads, although the topic of America’s Got talent sort of increases the number of hits from them everytime one talent video clip is posted.

Very much the same with the Canadians—18,510 hits to view 4558 pages using 19.98 Gb bandwidth. It appears the Canadians download more video clips when they access their home computers. Canadians do have access to the Bell expressvu that provides GMA-Pinoy Tv on high-definition and also ABS-CBN TFCKo on high depreciation.

The Philippines come in with the highest (it was the lowest on the onset of this website) with 30,326 hits on 2438 pages and at 4.94 Gb. Yup, these viewers look only at the first page, most probably with cell phones that may not be able to turn the page. It appears also that their cell phones are unable to download some video clips because of the cost and the length of time required. Well, maybe if the video clips were converted to cell phone videos, they might be able to capture and enjoy the videos. The question is, which cell phone maker to convert it to? Nokia? Samsung? Sony? Ericsson? Blackberry? or what?

There are other ways to interpret the stats from AWSTATS, and it does give a clear picture of what is being viewed on the blog and from what particular region.

Canada Restricts Immigration

NO! I believe that this does not mean that Canada will restrict people. It is just making restrictions in QUALIFICATIONS. But the quota for countries, especially the Philippines, remain the same. The requirements, however, will be more stringent.

Canada is that country which economy remains sturdy and pliant. It has maintained its high level of consideration for its pension and health care system. Its social welfare system, as a whole, is the best in the world. This Canadian economy has grown so because of the controls applied to its growth. Canada started with a small population. It allows only as much people as it needs for positive growth. As a result it is now the best free-standing economy in the world. So therefore, understand why it has these restrictions. In fact, it has always had these restrictions.

The Province of Manitoba, the capital of which is Winnepeg, remains that portion of the country where the greatest number of Filipino immigrants reside due to the garment industry hiring lots of Filipinos in those days.. This province is still inviting more Filipinos to migrate there. Canada has learned that Filipinos have good work ethics, are trustworthy, loyal, and law-abiding.

Filipinos are the best workers in the world, and Canada is the best country in the world.

A university degree, a good work experience, and a need for the skills that you have make you a very good prospect for Canadian immigration.

Contact the Canadian government by all means possible to you. A third party paid-agent is not required to file applications.
