LGBT School Group Publicly Bullies Students

Acalanes HS
Todd Starnes, host of Fox News & Commentary, had an interesting report recently on how lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender (LGBT) group in a California high school has publicly shamed students who opposed their views and teachers have allowed it.

The Queer Straight Alliance at Acalanes High School, in Lafayette, lectured students in several ninth-grade English classes on 29 January 2015 about LGBT issues. Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute (PJI), which is representing the parents, said that the students, ages 14 and 15, were instructed to stand in a circle. Then, they were grilled about their personal beliefs and their parents’ beliefs on homosexuality.

Private Prison Facility for Public Menace?

Jail Facility
A privately-owned and managed jail facility in the Philippines? It could actually happen after Megawide Construction Corp. said it was interested in taking part in a US$ 1.1 billion government tender to build and maintain a prison north of the capital.

The tender, launched earlier on March 2015, is part of the government's efforts to fix a dilapidated prison system that is the fourth most overcrowded in the world, according to the International Centre for Prison Studies (ICPS).

LGUs Need To Support Project NOAH

Project NOAH webSAFE
By this time, Philippines' disaster planning officials should have a pretty good idea of what is coming their way when a storm makes a landfall. They knew that storm surges propelled by winds of up to 315 kilometers per hour could sweep across low-lying areas and pose a significant threat to life and property.

The problem, though, is that people on the ground weren’t familiar with what a storm surge entailed. In all, more than 6,300 people perished in Typhoon Haiyan, most of them killed by storm surges.

Demand Will Continue for Skinny Models

No Fat Models Please
Halyley Pheylan’s article in Yahoo! Style claims that the modelling industry is changing by hiring more blacks, biracial, Asian, transgendered and not skinny models. Well, she couldn’t be more wrong.

Everything should be put in the proper context first. The modelling industry is not here to represent the society’s diverse spectrum of beauty. It is here to represent what the majority of the population wants and at the same time generate sales. This means, it will continue to favourably employ thin and white teenage girls that epitomize high-end beauty.

Silang police said 46-year-old Andy Loyola was caught around 5:00 A.M. sexually molesting a cow, which was initially reported by its owner, Rustico Carlo, as missing.
