Biblical Health Instructions

I was about to dispose some old magazines. There is this one magazine cover that really catches by attention, and the magazine is the “The Good News”. It’s was published 6 years ago (2002), but I am very struck with its contents. It is all about having a vibrant health as what their front page says but it is in the accordance to the Bible. Here is one of the articles about the seven principles the Bible says about health and wellness:

One: Obey God’s commandments
“My son, do not forget my law, but let your heart keep my commands; for length of days and long life and peace they will add to you…It will he health to your flesh, and strength to your bones” (Proverbs 3:1-2, 8)

Two: Basic sanitation
“Designate a place outside the camp where you can go to relieve yourself. As part of your equipment have something to dig with, and when you relieve yourself, dig a hole and cover up your excrement” (Deuteronomy 23:12-13)

Three: Sexual purity
“For the lips of an immortal woman drip honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil; but in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two edge sword…And you mourn at last, when your flesh and your body are consumed” (Proverbs 5:2-5, 11)
“Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all sexually immortal” (Hebrews 13:14)

Four: Circumcision
“From generation to generation, every male child must be circumcised at the eight after his birth. This applies not only to members of your family but also to the servants born in your household and the foreign-born servants whom you have purchased” (Genesis 17:12)

Five: Control your stress level
“Cast your burdens to the Lord, and He shall sustain you,” (Psalms 55:22)

Six: Exercise
“bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things…” (1 Timothy 4:8) It profits a little for their daily routines before are like intense exercises of today.

Seven: Emotional management
“A merry heart does good, like medicine…” (Proverbs 17:22)

These biblical tips or instructions are long been given to us, some can be considered as the foundations of our modern medicines. But even though modern medical science have discovered and developed many principles and techniques to have a good health, everything starts from Him.

Reflection

I think, therefore I exist.

We came to the world equip with the ability to think. This ability is one of the most significant features a human being has. The ability to think enables us to deal with our daily lives accordingly, and it makes our lives productive. We’ve been dealing with this for so many years, but when Mr. Randy S. Gamboa introduce the phrase “I think, therefore I exist”, I come to asked myself. “Do I really exist or am I really thinking?” In times of confusion, I have thought of so many things in life that I have done. Yes, I am thinking, and I’m sure everybody is. And yes I exist, because I can feel the interaction of the world to me and me to the world. Knowing these things makes me sure that I do think, and therefore I exist.

But there are times that I feel I am useless. I know what to do, but still I have not done it. I know what the right thing is, but still I did not follow it. Yes, literally I think, and I exist. But sometimes, I do not think. Therefore, I also do not exist. Since everything we do start with our minds, we can say that every little thing we do starts when we think, when we use our minds. But that’s only the start, a something, for it to be done needs an action and not just thinking. In order to do something, we need to materialize the thinks we are thinking. Anticipating and balancing all the factors that affects to what we are doing.

Killers of the Future

Artificial Intelligence and Robotics are among the very promising technologies that are currently developing. Many governments and organizations around the globe supports these field of specialization for in the near future it can provide the people with much more effectiveness and output. But as of now, there are many studies regarding AI and robotics in the application of military purposes. The question then arises, what is the future of these studies?

An author once said, "Time will come that humans will build a machine that will have a responsibility to kill humans but without the intervention of humans themselves". By basing the authors assumption to the military researches on the AI and Robotics for war purposes, there is really a chance that what he/she said will surely manifest. Beside humans are the reasons for the destruction of the nature that's why there is a global warming now. What can we say, maybe we the humans will also be the main reason that we will be replaced by machine. Heheheheh

So, are you afraid of the future?

Online Evacuation Camp Tracker: Approved!

This proposed system will be involved in the post-disaster services of the Disaster Management. It will house the information regarding the different Evacuation Camps that will be established during disasters. Among the information that will be available on this proposed system are the disasters' detail, the evacuation camps' information and also some of the basic information about the affected individuals that is present under a camp.

The system is put online to enable other people to have an idea or to determine the status of the different disasters that are affecting the people in our country. By means of this proposed system, more and more people will be able to sympathize and more people can render help by knowing the current conditions of the camps that officiate in alleviating the effects of the disaster to the affected people.

This proposed system is also aimed to provide a basic tracing service for the missing individuals due to a disaster. The information from the evacuation camps will help the families that have loved ones who are affected by a disaster to determine whether they are in a safer place or not.

Why Use Technology

The fast development and innovation in technologies brings a big leap in the lives of many people around the globe. With the advancements and innovation the technology offers, the people around the globe is now living a better world. In line with these progresses, we can ask ourselves why we use technology?

Here are some of the many reasons why we use technology:

• to simplify things

• to do things faster

• to do things accurately

• to manage things efficiently

Because of these reasons, the people have experience betterment in their lives thus they continued to use the technologies. Aside from the effect, the people also use technologies because of the trend of the world. Technologies nowadays are not just tools to improve life, but other people considers it as their own life.

Even though the technology today is very advance, the minds of the people really never stops to find and discover new things that can improve more our living. These are some of the factors that influenced the change in technology:

• Competition

• Curiosity

• Trend

• Improvements

IT in Different Areas

Best thing about IT is that it is now everywhere..
From medicine to business..It's everywhere..
For us, opportunities are...EVERYWHERE!..tama ba?

IT in Evacuation Center Management

Scenario:
Since then, our country has already experienced many disasters. Based on the location of our country, we can never deny the fact that it is prone to natural calamities namely earthquakes, typhoons and volcanic eruptions. We cannot also deny the fact that there is a conflict between some of the groups in our country that cause armed conflicts and also bombing. Because of these events the Disaster Management was formed. Under DM there are many things to consider, for say there is a big flood caused a typhoon that made the people homeless, there should be things to be done in order to help them. Among the essential area of DM is evacuating the affected victims or community from the site of disaster towards a safer place and it’s called an evacuation camp.

Proposal:
Based on that situation, I would like to propose a study with regards to the injection of IT in the field of Disaster Management, particularly in the area of Evacuation Center Management. This proposed study will cover from developing an appropriate Evacuation Center up to the resource/relief allocation for the victims under a said center.

Objective:
To develop a model for a standard evacuation center design with an automation in mind
To identify items in the Evacuation Center Management that serves as bottleneck and will be enhanced by IT
To determine the effectiveness of IT under the field of Disaster Management
To develop an enhanced system for Evacuation Center Management

End Project:
Evacuation Center Designer
- this system will be developed based on the derived design/model from the study
- a system for making a blueprint design of an evacuation center
- with predefined models/designs for specific disaster or location but configurable
- configuration is based of the basic data that is gathered from the field (Ex. no. of families, budget per family, land area and etc)

Ban Of Brother: Coming Soon

"There are trials for everyone that he/she must overcome"

That statement is very applicable for every person in this world. Especially for those who live life in a very curious manner (BoB). Because of some trials, the BoB were phase out temporarily from their hive (paburit place). And now, since there is a great chance that the BoB can regain their rightful chance to occupy their hive again, they surely did not let it pass.

So! Nodal funs, and PC lovers beware and standby for the return of the curious BAN of BROTHERS!

Coming Soon..

The Sky is the Limit

There is really no way of stopping the fast journey of technology. Even in the field of devices, like cameras, there is now a new technology that was developed by Kodak which enhance the mega-pixel. Based on the article of Technologyreview.com with the latest innovation of Kodak's to their digital cameras, they just release their new cameras with a 50 mega-pixel sensor in it. Just imagine the capability of it. Kodak really done it this time. But we may not just know, they are now starting a new research to improve their newly release product. With regards to technology, limit is really kinda obsolete thing.

No Signal..

Based on the article of Larry Dixon from the New Technology TV, there will be a great change coming to America on February 17, 2oo9, in the field of life style, media and entertainment. The current analog TV transition will be change to digital TV transition, thus, leaving those who don't have the technologies to let their TV understand digital transition experiencing or having NO SIGNAL.

The Lord Reigns

The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad

Let the distance shores rejoice

Clouds and thick darkness surround him

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne

A fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side

His lightning lights up the world

The earth sees and trembles

The mountains melt like wax before the Lord

Before the Lord of all the earth

The Heavens proclaim His righteousness

And all peoples will see His Glory


-"Let it rain"
Micheal W. Smith

State of CS Research

We all know that the technologies nowadays are among the vital aspects of our lives. In the field of education for example, in the field of IT, the technology is almost the kernel of its community. With regards to the preceding statements, the research in the said area play a great role in providing innovations to technologies, thus making our lives simpler.
On the article I found on the internet, namely the Optimization - Hybrid Methods(1) on the page of Brown University, it discuss how to manage the different methods used in different research areas to form or produce an ultimate optimization algorithms and systems. This kind of optimization can bring a much more efficient and useful things with regards to the application in the fast moving technology.
Based on article, I can tell that the trend of computer science research is going towards maximization of all its resources. It can be in hardware, software, theoretical or practical applications. The trend also somewhat bridges other fields of study and making it work as one to create a better and more efficient solution.


Various technical topics:
Artificial Intelligence
Combinatorial Optimization
Design and Analysis of Algorithms

Comparing Java and .NET Security: Lessons Learned and Missed
Nathanael Paul David Evans
University of Virginia
Department of Computer Science
[nate, evans]@cs.virginia.edu

The study done by Paul and Evans examined the two of the well known platforms that uses virtual machine. According to the authors, virtual machines enable the platform to run un-trusted programs under a restricted area. This functionality added a big point in the field of security for the platforms. The platforms that were compared on their study were the Java and .NET. As to the result of their comparison, based on the vulnerabilities and limitations found on each of the platform’s security, the Java virtual machine was over throne by the CLR of .NET platform. According to the authors, the sharpness of security of .NET was because of using the Java mistakes as their basis for development and improvement for .NET and the usage of different security architecture.
Reflecting to the study conducted by Paul and Evans and looking at the graphical representations on their study, the .NET really has the edge over Java. There are many holes in Java which were patched in .NET. This only shows that there is really a big gap between the architectures of the two platforms in implementing their security. Eventhough the both share the same goal, there is really that difference and there is also a platform that will outdo one platform.
But if you’ll examine it carefully, what’s the edge of Java when compared with .NET when .NET itself based its security improvements to the mistakes of Java security? Aside from that, they have a very different structure. Also looking at the Java platform, and to its developers, why would they let these vulnerabilities?
Since the field of security is very crucial for such platforms, innovations and improvements related to this field is a never ending road, for there is really no such thing as secure.

Security in the Microsoft® .NET Framework
Analysis by Foundstone, Inc. and CORE Security Technologies

In this paper, the security aspect of the .NET Framework of Microsoft is analyzed by Foundstone, Inc. and CORE Security Technologies. According to them, the .NET security, if it will be used properly, can provide its practitioners and end-users a secure application from attacks now and in the future. They based their conclusion to the wonderful features that they encounter during the study.
Even though the paper is very technical, this will serve as a very good basis for the succeeding developers for them to develop a more advance and secure versions of the Framework. As to the application developers and administrators, this paper serves can serves as their guide in improving the way the manage applications under such framework to further improve or strengthen their established security.
Even with the many importance of this paper, there are just some points that are a bit surprising to see. Like the statement saying that in there is an assurance with regards to the resistance to common attacks now and in the future. It’s a bit surprising to see that because there are also some writers saying that there is no such thing as secure. Maybe for now, but as to the future, who knows? But if that is really correct, then that is a great lead to the security of the discussed framework.

Which database is more secure? Oracle vs. Microsoft
David Litchfield

Since the paper done by Litchfield examines both of the securities of Oracle and Microsoft database servers. It also tackles or mainly based its comparison to the faults or holes of the two mentioned database servers. As to the result and conclusion of the author with the comparison he made, the Oracle emerge as the less serious contender.
The two mentioned database servers are among the acclaimed servers that are now present on the market. These servers are really maintained by its developers and every hole is patches as fast as they can. Since the MSSQL marks a lead over Oracle. Since the author based its results to the vulnerabilities found on both database servers, there may be a great justification. But as to the assessment of the overall paper, the conclusion may be true, but as to the present, maybe the vulnerabilities are now covered and fixed.

About Mr. Wilson

According to the blockbuster movie, the Transformers, “There’s more than meets the eye”. In knowing the identity of a person, one must not only based its criterion to the physical or the outer part.
Not too tall, and not too short, peaceful face, macho body and fair skin, those are the typical built of a typical bachelor for some women. They are the so called “Man of our dreams” for some women. But this person I have in mind is not like the man described. Yes, he may have fair skin but certainly do not have the macho looks. He may not be of regular height, but for some, being tall is a plus. Eventhough he has this strict-maldito face, deep inside he has this wacky atmosphere eager to get out. (It will if you’ll be close to him) Those things by the way are some of the outer aspect of the guy I’m introducing you. As with his inner aspect, just be with him. But again, for a simple overview, he is kinda funny (according to him), he loves playing with his friends in Bropos Café, and I can tell that he is a bit religious. Since he is not macho and not fat either, he is thin; I guess he is really stressed with all the happenings around him. Even he maybe is stressed, he is still a happy man and he loves to enjoy the events in life that God gave him.
