These pictures were taken by my friend from New York City during his world tour. He was glad to arrive here in our country at my invitation though I was not able to be with him during his tour around the islands of the Philippines because of my present job in Manila. He is an amputee now using prostheses for both his legs. One wonders how he managed himself going around the world alone without any assistant. A daring person as he is enables him to wander some parts of the island of Bohol at which he enjoyed most at the beach fronts of Panglao. As an avid legless scuba diver he was able to snap photos of marine lives in the island including the school of barracudas and the tiny colorful shrimps.
.
My thoughts run wild with mix enthusiasm realizing that my friend coming from the other side of the globe is way ahead of me (being a Boholano) in exploring the beauties of Bohol underwater. Now I am often haunted with my wild dream that one day I have to explore it any way. Nevertheless, I am so proud of being a Boholano ever since I carried the banner of being one in my tongue and character. More so, I am proud of what my native province is becoming now. Thanks to the good Boholano stewards for making this once sleepy kitty into such a wonderful place.
.
He tried to send me these pictures via email and expressed a message of sentiment about why we Filipinos are falling short of our noble ambition of uniting the country for good. He believes the Philippine Island is really the pearl of the orient seas with abounding resources including the marine lives. "Why can't Filipinos do what the barracudas are doing? United as they are, they take the pride by freely moving around and enjoying the cool water of the vast seas as one group.” he quipped. No wonder Boholanos are the barracudas of the land. They freely wander all around the globe seeking what they call 'the greener pastures'.

Sometimes we must try learning how to compare our behavior as humans with those lowly living creatures. We might wonder sometimes, are they doing better than we do? Think of it over my friend! Don't get offended by what you are. Times are still abounding for us to change! When it is for the better, then expect a better country where we live.

Note: Leo Falk's childhood dream of circumnavigating the world like Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan is for him a dream come true. Unlike VDG with his galleon, Leo travelled around the world legless without any army.
26 comments:
My friend Leo Falk, 69 yo.(August, 2005)and a former Moscovite is a mechanical engineer by profession. He defected to the US during his middle years to pursue the practice of his profession. Few years after he met a train accident costing his both legs amputated.
His childhood dream of circumnavigating the world like the historical voyages of Vasco da Gama and Ferdinand Magellan was almost fulfilled here in the Philippines, the last of his tour before he flew back to New York City. (August 28, 2005 to September 5, 2005).
Truly the province of Bohol is a newly discovered paradise island of the Central Visayas. As a small island near Cebu most of its coastal areas are covered with white beaches. Foreign tourist are now prefering to visit this small province than Boracay.

The business presents 1 [url=http://nhommuagiatot.com/thoi-trang.html]gia re hom nay[/url] for each working day in every of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon features as an assurance offer making use of ThePoint's platform: if a specific amount of men and women indicator up for the supply, then the offer will get presented to all if the predetermined least is not pleased, no 1 will get the offer that working day. This minimizes risk for retailers, who can deal with the price reduction coupons as quantity price cut rates as effectively as item sales marketing resources. Groupon tends to make earnings by trying to keep roughly fifty per cent the funds the buyer pays for the coupon.
For occasion, an $80 therapeutic massage could be obtained by the customer for $forty by indicates of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would crack up the $40. That is, the retailer gives a massage valued at $80 and gets around $20 from Groupon for it (underneath a 50%/fifty% split). Or, if $240 benefit of residence painting solutions is bought by the buyer for $fifty via Groupon, then the business receives $25 and Groupon retains $25. The shopper gets the therapeutic massage, or the residence portray companies, in these examples, from the retailer for which they initially compensated out $forty (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are particular organizations to which Groupon to begin with did not supply its suppliers, like capturing ranges and strip golf equipment even so, capturing ranges have been showcased on Groupon.
In contrast to classified marketing, the services service provider does not spend out any upfront expenditure to participate: Groupon collects non-public data from inclined consumers and then contacts only folks buyers, largely by each and every working day e mail, who could perhaps be intrigued in a particular merchandise or assistance.
Groupon employs a massive amount of copywriters who draft descriptions for the discounts showcased by e mail and on the web internet site. Groupon's marketing and advertising text for the 'deals' has been witnessed as a contributing factor to the track record of the site, showcasing a exclusive blend of in depth fact-inspecting and witty humor.
Owing to Groupon's market location turning into largely composed of woman buyers, the bargains are often centered on the wellness, health and attractiveness marketplaces.
There are attainable troubles with the firm layout. For illustration, a lucrative provide could briefly swamp a modest organization with way also a whole lot of buyers, jeopardizing a probability that consumers will be dissatisfied, or that there will not be ample solution to satisfy the need to have. Hole, a huge clothing retailer, was able to get treatment of 445,000 coupons in a countrywide provide (even with the truth that it seasoned server concerns at 1 place), but a scaled-down business could develop to be all of a unexpected flooded with buyers. One espresso retailer in Portland, Oregon struggled with an boost in shoppers for three months, when it offered near to 1,000 Groupons on the one functioning day it was provided, in accordance to 1 specific report. In response to associated difficulties, Groupon officers condition that 'deal' subscriptions need to be capped in progress to a inexpensive quantity.

Банк "Хоум кредит", основным направлением деятельности которого являлось предоставление кредитных услуг населению, постепенно реформируется в универсальный розничный банк, запустив линейку срочных вкладов.
Вклад "Краткосрочный" предназначен для краткосрочного хранения денег, то есть рассчитан на высокодоходный сегмент. Непополняемый вклад открывается сроком на 31 день. При сумме вклада от 25 до 250 тыс рублей процентная ставка составляет 5,5%, при сумме от 250 тыс рублей - 6%.
Вклад "Универсальный" - это своеобразная альтернатива текущему счету. Минимальная сумма пополняемого вклада составляет 5 тыс рублей при возможных сроках размещения на 3 месяца, полгода, год, полтора года. Максимальная процентная ставка составляет 9,5%.
Вклад "Накопительный" предназначен для среднедоходного сегмента. "Ориентирован на среднестатистического россиянина." Сроки размещения составляют 1, 2 или 3 года, максимальная процентная ставка - 10% годовых.
Вклад "Пенсионный" рассчитан на низкодоходный сегмент населения и будет предоставляться гражданам, имеющим право на получение пенсии. Минимальная сумма пополняемого вклада составляет 3 тыс рублей при процентной ставке 9,5% годовых и сроке размещения 1 год.
"Создавая данный продукт, мы хотели охватить широкий сегмент населения, как высокодоходный, так и низкодоходный. А также удовлетворить потребности населения с точки зрения функционального использования вкладов", заявил на конференции, посвященной запуску новой депозитной линейки, начальник управления разработки и внедрения продуктов банка Дмитрий Сапронов.
