The CPUR elections of 1987 resulted in the landslide victory of a group of independent candidates. With their slogan "I am Independent! I am free to Serve!" these batch of CPUR leaders captured the sentiments of the students.

Through the Salido-Plotria administration, the students were able to persuade the Administration to refund the students of their cultural fee payment.
The fee was collected by the Administration without proper consultation from the students. Resolved with the good intentions of the cultural fee, it was then charged in the next semester.
The Salido-Plotria administration was able to conduct the first CPUR Day and homecoming of previous CPUR officials.
It was during the first year of the independents that student activism had regerated in a different approach.

The decision to boycott the school year 1986-87 election created disillusionment to some members of the USP. According to them, they were not consulted about the party's decision. They said that only top USP officials made the decision whose pride in the "Constitution" issue was affected.
Meanwhile, some idealistic members of the Koalisyon were becoming restless because of the party's failure to implement programs, which would make leadership impression to the studentry.
The polarization of the CPUR between USP and Koalisyon which deviated the CPUR from a real pro-student government, the failure of both parties to work in unity prompted other leaders both members and non-members of the two political parties to search for an alternative.
Right after the election in 1986, Val Salido, consistent honor student in the College of Engineering was challed by a classmate to make initial plans to organize an alternative group.
Salido was a former CPUR senator (USP) in 1984. He and the classmate discussed their visions of a true pro-student CPUR. They plotted palns for the SY 1987-88 CPUR election.
Immediately, the thought of forming a new party emerged. However, the two realized that forming a party would not be a good solution because they perceived that the students might have negative impressions on political parties based on the present party polarization in the CPUR.
Later, Val Salido, Ryan Comuelo, a high school classmate; and the engineering student leader conceived the idea that instead of forming a party, candidates for all positions would be recruited. They will be instructed to file their candidacy as independents.
This concept was later echoed to Rico Plotria, a classmate in college and in high school. Plotria was a popular leader in the College of Engineering. At that time, the Koalisyon as their next presidential bet was eyeing Rico Plotria.
In SY 1987-88, while the "independent concept" was silently being worked out by Salido, Plotria and their supporters, another group under the leadership of Roy Fajutrao, Jojie Roy Juarez, and David Mark Dominado who incidentally were high school classmates of Salido and Plotria, organize a party.
John Roldan, a fifth year EE student and the chairperson of the Work Student Organization became the standard bearer of this party known as the New Student Alliance. (NSA later became the Democratic Student Alliance).
Meanwhile, Koalisyon, the ruling party was preparing for the year's election and with hopes to again capture the presidency. However, the party's popularity was at the ebb because most of the students were dissatisfied with the current CPUR leadership.
The students' cry for a change in leadership was proven true when at the prelude of the election Koalisyon could not come up with a strong national and provincial line-up of candidates. Some of their leaders in the colleges who were Salido and Plotria's batch in high school and whom they were counting on to recruit candidates defect to the Independents.
In the college of engineering, the Phi Beta Epsilon Fraternity, which was a PANGMASA and later Koalisyon's avid follower, shifted its loyalty to the Independent's cause. Val Salido is a member of the fraternity.
To further strengthen the independent support in the college of engineering, Salido forged union with the Gamma Rho Upsilon, also an engineering-based fraternity. In due time, Koalisyon's machinery broke down with College of Theology as the only supporting college left.
As the deadline for application of candidacy drew nearer, the remnants of loyal USP leaders made a last effort to establish their presence and participation in the election by circulating printed statemen, "encouraging all USP candidates to run as independents". However, Amparo Barroma, another high school classmate of Salido and Plotria refrained from distributing such classmates as it would affect the "independent" stand of the group.
The slogan of the independent candidates was "I am Independent! I am free to serve!". In the election, all "Independent" candidates, except a candidate for representative in high school won the election.
Thus, for the first time in history of the CPU Republic a landslide victory was achieved not by a party but by a group of Independent candidates.
As the next school year 1984-85 opened, the CPUR witnesses an event which was the first ever in the CPU Republic's history—two parties coalesced to form a new party. The PANGMASA and the Alliance of Democratic Students joined and the party Koalisyon ng Demokratikong Mag-aaral para sa Sambayana emerged.
As described by Sherlito Deduro (Vice President 1984-85) in his article, "Koalisyon ng Demokratikong Mag-aaral para sa Sambayanan", the moderation and militancy which characterized ADS and PANGMASA, respectively became the weapons of the KOALISYONin answer to the chaos which characterized the national government.
On the other hand, student political observers interpreted that one reason for the ADS-PANGMASA union was that the two parties felt weak against USP standard bearer Vitini Idemne who was the No. 1 senator in the previous year.
Having given no hand in the decision-making process, the ADS-PANGMASA coalition resulted into the division of the high school ADS leaders. Some were recruited by the USP while other went to the KOALISYON.
The split of the high school ADS was significant for they were the batch of leaders who became strong contenders for higher CPUR positions under their respective parties in their college years.
Among these leaders were Rico Plotria and Val Salido, who became a KOALISYON and USP, respectively. They later reunited in 1987 to lead the group of independents to a landslide victory.
Perhaps the time when CPUR became the most active student government in Iloilo was during the presidency of Manuel de la Fuente (KOALISYON). Mr. De la Fuente was a student of the College of Theology.
It was the height of student demonstration against the Marcos regime and campus affairs focused mainly on national issues. It was the period when the legislative and the executive often met jointly and the active participation of the adviser, Atty. Jane Harder was observed.
The de la Fuente Administration's general program of action of "sponsoring symposia, for dialogues, workshops, and other forms of discussion on critical issues" gave both the students and the Administration a very unforgettable year.
The accomplishments of the de la Fuente administration were the revival of Central Echo, which publication stopped for one semester. Their demand to purchase a good quality public address system was granted by the Administration.
Other accomplishments are as follows: readjustment of the sixth gate's schedule for the students' convenience, the creation of the student organization federation, and the adjustment in the hourly rate of the work student in proportion with the tuition fee increase.
Glenn Campañera, an engineering student headed the CPUR in SY 1985-86. A reticent type and very reserve person, Campañera was in a way opposite to de la Fuente's personality.
Although for the succeeding years the Koalisyon party had succeeded in getting the top leadership, the USP had the majority of the legislative department. At this period, the CPUR had become a field of heated arguments and walkouts due to party interests.
This created prejudices between the Koalisyon and USP elected officials. The USP, which dominated the legislation branch, would not approve legislation by the Koalisyon and later, the USP dominated legislative will pass legislation with almost the same idea or provision authored by the USP.
It was during Campañera's incumbency when the "Constitution" issue emerged. The congress had already approved a draft constitution. Immediately, ratification procedures followed.
Campañera being the chief executive facilitated the ratification in which the "yes" votes for the constitution won. However, the CPUR president did not approve the ratification. He passed a declaration, which stated that the constitution was not validly ratified.
One of the reasons was the low percentage of votes. The USP members in the CPUR headed by Senator Felice Garingalao, who was the Chairperson of the Constitutional Commission were not amenable to Campañera's move.
The Upper House subjected the CPUR President's decision into several debates. Protest was filed with the SOC. The complaint was deliberated until the next school year 1986-87.
Whether or not Campañera's move was a political maneuver (as top level USP officials thought), being the president, he has the power to veto any legislative initiative with valid grounds. However, the USP leaders claimed that Campañera's move was to prevent the USP from crediting to their accomplishments the "duly ratified" constitution.
The Campañera administration was able to conduct routine CPUR activities such as during the University Day, CPUR sponsored shows and symposiums.
Because of the "Constitution" issue, the USP boycotted the SY 1986-87 election and thus, Roosevelt Baldago of the college of commerce came out victorious with the rest of the Koalisyon candidate running unchallenged.
Koalisyon described the boycott option by the USP candidates as a "political suicide". This was proven true for in succeeding y ears, the USP never recovered and was lost in the CPUR political arena.
Baldago's one party administration was expected by most students to perform well because all officers of CPUR were Koalisyon party members. CPUR activities focused mainly on routine activities such as during University Days, CPUR sponsored shows and others. The students' hope for a wholesome CPUR year did not materialize. The idealism of Koalisyon party failed to be manifested in a one-party administration.
Indeed, student activism, which was observed during the De la Fuente administration, waned. This could be attributed to the change in the political climate of the national government. School year 1986-87 was the year when the EDSA revolution occurred and the air of freedom it brought was very fresh in every student's mind.
The imposition of martial law in 1972 suspended the annual establishment of the CPU Republic. The purpose in which the student republic was created in 1906, to educate the Filipino people in the democratic form of government, was temporarily disturbed as the clout of martial rule curtailed the liberties of the Filipino people.
When martial law was lifted in 1981, there were immediate moves to revive the oldest student republic in the country. The Student Organization Committee (SOC) announced the revival of the CPUR. The SOC encouraged the students to organize themselves into parties and have their parties accredited.
In answer to the SOC's bidding, three parties applied and were recognized. They were the PANGMASA, Alliance of Democratic Students (ADS), and the United Students Party (USP).
In preparation for election, President Pulido together with the SOC gathered the student representatives from participating parties. The meeting paved way for the revision of the pre-martial law CPUR constitution.
The group adapted it for election purposes only. Here, the constitution was transitory in nature because the group agreed that the adapted constitution should be used until the elected CPUR officials could facilitate a duly ratified constitution.
The history of the revived CPUR could be divided chronologically in three regimes.
The PANGMASA party, which ruled from 1982-1984; the Koalisyon party in 1984-1987; and the Independents/Student Independent Democratic Party (SIDP) in 1987-1990.
The first president of the revived CPUR was an engineering student named Gerardo Sonalan of the PANGMASA party. His administration was strongly supported by the engineering student leaders. His administration could be considered as very militant because it immediately provided a venue for student sentiments on various national issues.
It was during his time when the Central Echo, the official student paper of CPU was revived. Four senators led by Senator Vitini Edhard Idemne (USP) pushed for the revival of the Central Echo. Sonalan tried to assert for an autonomous Central Echo but the group agreed to the guidelines that there will be advisorship by the administration.
The next PANGMASA president was Gualberto Cataluña, a law student. He finished an engineering baccalaureate degree in CPU also. His candidacy could be considered controversial because of the issue on grade requirement.
The SOC requires a 2.0 average grade for every student who files his/her candidacy. However, Cataluña whose grades fell below 2.0 appealed directly to President Pulido for reconsideration. The administration overruled the SOC's decision to uphold 2.0 grade requirement. The decision allowed Cataluña to proceed with his bid for the CPUR presidency.
This decision resulted into the resignation of some SOC members. The other parties, ADS and USP did not react strongly on this issue as observed by SOC member (later Chairperson) Dr. Johnny Gumban.
During his term, Cataluña was able to provide benches in several areas in the campus. Concrete benches bearing the inscription CPUR 1983-84 could still be seen along half-moon drive, central and acacia roads, and University Church drive.
Infrastructure Management – Does CPU Teach This?
Infrastructure Management involves the prolonging of life and use of long-term assets for the common good.
Does CPU teach "Infrastructure Management"?
I'm a Civil Engineering graduate of CPU 1989 and I can't recall encountering the phrase "infrastructure management".
Maybe I wasn't listening or I was absent when it was lectured but was the topic ever brought up in any of our subjects?
Our curriculum at that time included nine units of management but they are more related to financial and business management.
I could recall two phrases that could relate to infrastructure management topics, "sum-of-the-years digits" and "cost-benefit ratio" but they were never emphasized in that context.
Is "infrastructure management" in the vocabulary of Central Philippine University? The easy and fast way to know is to do a search in CPU's website. I made a quick search and it can't be found.
Anyway, Centralians need not be dismayed for the absence of "infrastructure management" (maybe during our years at CPU only) in our curriculum.
I'm sure that some civil engineer alumni have practiced infrastructure asset management in their profession, courtesy of learning through experience or formal training through their company.
I learned recently that infrastructure management is integral in New Zealand local government practices.
The basic aim of infrastructure asset management is to create plans and implement best practice procedures to maintain and prolong the service life of long-term infrastructure assets.
This is very crucial to supporting and sustaining the quality of life in the community. When infrastructures or assets are managed well, it has implication in local and national economy, especially when resources are very limited.
Going back to the question, I also have the big suspicion that other top engineering schools in the Philippines might be touching lightly on 'infrastructure management' and related topics.
If Central Philippine University gives emphasis on "Infrastructure Management", she will soon be graduating people who are apt and ready to gain career in this area, maybe in their local districts initially and take on jobs internationally.

Let us celebrate and take time to remember Dr. Juanito M. Acanto on his birthday, 5 April 2013. He was CPU's former president. He continues to help CPU as board of trustees. Who could ever forget his leadership, Christian ministry, friendship, wit, humor, and most of all, his passion for beautiful CPU.
Central Philippine University, which he led with competence, respect and distinction for 12 years, as Acting President, 1996-1998, and as University President, 1998-2008; a public servant, whose unsullied integrity made him one of the most respected and trusted elected official in the Province of Iloilo; a trial lawyer, whose courtroom savvy and intellect were admired by the bench and the bar, and by his clients, many of whom are the poorest of the poor.
Beyond these, I know Dr. Acanto as the one who opened me the opportunity to serve CPU. He gave me his trust that motivated me to be excellent in my responsibilities.
He rewarded me with his confidence that allowed me to pursue programs for the good of the University. He taught me what it means to be a Centralian. He exemplified to me what service to Central Philippine University is all about.
Happy birthday Sir Juaning. My mentor. My friend. God bless you.
Ang indi ko gid malipatan abut Sir Juaning or Sir JMA is his way of making things light or mamag-an. While he is meticulous, he does not burden you with his presence.
Amo ina ang akon na appreciate sa iya; because of that mas na-challenge pa kami sa office to work harder and make sure that the trust he has given us is not in vain. And of course, who could forget his legendary humor? Incomparable!
Sir Juaning, you are a blessing. God bless you more.
Dr. Acanto has great influence in my career and I'm thankful to God for his life!
He has a positive attitude that motivated me to work harder. He reminded me to always wear a smile even if my heart is aching.
As a leader, he set the best example to put a smile on your face which brightens everyone he meets. You can always approach him without hesitations. He is a good listener and willing to help and give his full support. Everyone is important to him.
I didn't expect that my professional growth and life's journey would come this far after he said to me "Charity, you have to get out of your box!" I will never forget those words.. Those words that encouraged me to embrace and explore the world with dignity and responsibility. Every time he gives his advice he would tell me to look up to God and that he will also pray for me.
He is not only my great mentor but a great friend whom I can count on even if I don't work for him anymore. Happy birthday my former boss, Sir Acanto!
During my first year sa CPU, permi ko na Makita si Sir Acanto nagalibot sa campus. Students greeted him with such a big smile. Nabatian ko permi sa ila, "Uy si Tay Juaning nag agi" and they will greet him "Good morning Sir". And with a smile, mamangkot sya na "kamusta kamu?".
That's how he is, very approachable sa tanan.
For 4 years as a work student sa President office, nahibal-an ko na the reason ngaa damu gid nga tawu gapalangga sa iya, it is because Sir Acanto has a huge heart.
Kung pwede nya lang buligan ang tanan, giubra ya na. Personally, Sir, damu gid nga salamat sa tanan. You may not know it pero kung hindi dahil sa imu I won't be able to reach my dreams.
Sir, as you celebrate your birthday today. I always wish you good health for you, Ma'am Ruth and your family.
You are always blessing and inspiration to us. May you continue to inspire other people Sir. Again, happy birthday!

Are Certified Pre-Owned Bikes Worth the Wear?
Are Certified Pre-Owned Bikes Worth It?
As prices on bikes continue to go up, finding one that's used (and not abused) might make sense for a lot of buyers.
By Matt Phillips Published: Jan 19, 2023

In the automotive world, certified pre-owned (CPO) programs are well known. The general idea is that the dealer buys back a used vehicle, does an extensive inspection and refurbishes it, and then sells it as an almost-good-as-new vehicle with a warranty for a discounted price.
Although a CPO car usually costs more than one sold in other used marketplaces, the buyer (in theory) benefits from getting a vehicle that's in top condition, free of surprises, and supported by a brand's dealership. The dealership and automaker, meanwhile, make some money and forge a relationship with the buyer that may lead to more sales and work for its service department.
With prices going up and bike technology settling down somewhat, the appeal of good pre-owned products are stronger than ever. Sure, the Specialized Tarmac SL7 is the brand's newest race bike, but the Tarmac SL6 and Tarmac SL5 are still kick-ass bikes that hold up very well, even in 2023. Plus, it makes environmental sense to get the most use possible out of every product.

How to Buy a Bike That's Used, Not Abused
The Pro's Closet stands as the premier name in certified pre-owned bikes, but it's a third party, not an arm of a brand. And although the Pro's Closet offers its own robust guarantee programs, most bike and parts brands only extend a warranty against manufacturer defects to the original owner. A brand-backed CPO product, however, could carry a manufacturer's warranty. It's also a way for a brand to ensure that someone riding their products—whether bought new or used—is having the best experience possible. And that can lead to good feelz, and more sales.
Unfortunately, the bike world does not have many brand-backed CPO programs. But there are a noteworthy few.
The newest is Hunt Wheels's RE:New. This program offers "lightly used" wheels for up to 40 percent off Hunt's already great prices. There are three tiers of product: NO Grade wheels are almost indistinguishable from new and have a 10 percent discount; Grade A wheels are 25 percent off and have some cosmetic blemishes; and Grade B wheels are 40 percent off and show signs of use.
No matter the grade, however, the wheels are "thoroughly inspected and refurbished" in-house, are said to be "100 percent sound from a performance, functionality, and safety standpoint," and carry Hunt's 60-day ride and return guarantee as well as a three-year warranty. A couple of noteworthy details: The spare parts kits may be incomplete, and the brand's H Care lifetime crash replacement program does not apply.
The trickiest bit about the RE:New program is that availability is limited, so the wheels you want or need might not be obtainable when you're in the market. "Our return rate is pretty low, so there might be some times in the future when we're out of stock or low," Hunt's marketing director, Bryson Ross, told me. You may want to bookmark the RE:New page and check it regularly. Hunt's email newsletter also provides alerts when new wheels are added to the stock.

Another CPO program is PNW Components Cycled. Consisting mostly of the brand's reliable dropper posts (with the occasional handlebar and dropper remote in the mix), these posts are "gently used" but tested and certified by PNW and sold with a one-year warranty. There's no set discount, but when I checked a 30.9mm by 200mm travel Loam dropper (which sells for $209 new), was $119.40 in the Cycled collection. Like Hunt's program, PNW Cycled stock fluctuates depending on what the brand takes back. Again, your best bet is to bookmark the page and check it regularly.
If you're looking for something a bit more substantial than components, there's Canyon's factory seconds and used bike outlet, which contains blemished and previously ridden bikes.
You can view signs of wear on the Canyon website.
Screenshot via Canyon.com
To find out why a bike is in the outlet, you need to click on the bike and scroll down a bit. There, you will find a "Wear Level" as well as detailed images of the wear and blemishes. As you'd expect, the more worn or blemished the bike, the greater the discount. For example, this Aeroad CFR Disc is brand new, but a few paint chips earned it a $400 discount. This Spectral WMN CF 9.0 SL is $1,000 off because it shows "slight signs of use." Those are discounts off Canyon's already competitive prices too, so these bikes are an especially good deal.
Of its outlet bikes, Canyon states, "The bike has been assembled, tested, and (if required) repaired by our expert mechanics," and comes with "a full guarantee just like a new bike." Note, however, that unlike buying a new bike from Canyon, outlet bikes are final sales and cannot be returned if you've ordered the wrong size or don't like the color.
I think programs like these from Hunt, PNW, and Canyon are awesome. I'd love to see more brands jump on programs like them soon.

Tin Pan Alley. The fact that production of pianos and player pianos had reached record heights in 1899, when more than 350,000 were made, had something to do with the appeal of the term since it clearly defined the type of piano sounds of the period. Practically everyone was learning to play either the Pianola or the Victrola, virtually anyone could play a player piano or a record machine. It is also true that very few local publishers could produce Hits on their own territory after 1899. Their maximum regional sales could not top a thousand copies so potential hits had to be bought out by the Tin Pan Alley giants with their distribution channels virtually guaranteed. The geographic area of Tin Pan Alley could be best described as that englobed by West 28th Street between Broadway and 6th Ave. in Manhattan. For over 70 years, music publishing was synonymous with Tin Pan Alley, located around the Exchange Building at 145 West Forty-Fifth Street with its 13 floors of small to medium-sized music publishing firms. To a great degree, the new methods of "pushing" or "plugging" songs and promotion in general had opened the door for these younger houses, but also the taste in popular music had changed by the end of the 19th century.

Bonnie Marlewski-Probert ask a series of very pertinent questions on the subject of what an author can expect from a major publishing house. Here are those questions along with my responses: 1. Because this book is outside our normal niche, if I sign a book publishing contract with a major house, what can I realistically expect them to do in terms of promotion? And for how long can I expect them to promote the title? 2. Am I better off doing the book myself and hiring a PR firm to promote the title, set up TV/radio interviews and if so, how does that work? Who pays who and how much and when? If you are a novice or mid-list author, you must expect to shoulder almost all PR efforts yourself. It's not going to be the major house's publicity department that lines up speaking and appearance opportunities for you it's going to be you and/or someone you hire for that purpose. If you do bypass a major house and publish the book yourself, begin with a business plan that has line-item budgeting for PR. When hiring a professional PR resource, submit your proposal to several different ones and ask for their bid. If you approach half a dozen of the more seasoned independent publicist firms (and just vette some of the names on this publisher forum to create your list) you will get a reliable idea of how much things cost, from sending out publicity releases to reviewers, to pitching media for appearances, to arranging a book tour, etc., etc.

Began as a bookstore in Boston. Moved to New York in 1869. Was at one time the largest bookstore in that city. Published books for the Episcopalian church. Had near monopoly on Sunday School books, prayerbooks, hymnals, etc. Theological works included Brown's On the Thirty-nine Articles and Staunton's Theological Dictionary. Occassionally published a religious novel, such as Shiloh by M.L. Jay. Most successful was Farrar's Life of Christ which found a general audience beyond the Episcopalian church and became a major best-seller. Company incorporated in 1901 with Edward P. Dutton president, George D. Dutton, nephew of the founder, as secretary, and John Macrae as Vice President. From this, Macrae negotiated with English publisher J.M. Dent for a co-operative effort to compile and publish a 1,000 volume library of the world's greatest works. The result was "Everyman's Library", starting 1906.

In a move of astonishing self-confidence, Anish Giri and his legal team have petitioned to bend the rules around his upcoming first match with World Chess Champ Magnus Carlsen, to allow for increasingly outrageous handicaps.
"I don't believe in time" Giri told our reporters. "Did Fischer arrive on time to play Spassky? Chess transcends space and time."
We summarise for you, in short, the nature of the dispute—ever since his remarkable victory against Carlsen berserking in the Lichess Titled Arena, Giri has been increasingly impatient to try shorter and shorter time controls. And so, in a strange turn of events, he and his legal team have petition the organisers of the Legends of Chess tournament to allow him to berserk even there.
"Our argument is simple," Giri's lawyer told our reporters. "What if our client instead took a substantial nap for half of the time allotted to him, woke up, and played the rest of the game – totally in agreement with tournament rules. Isn't this be the same thing?"
Apparently that was enough for the Chief Arbiter, who decided to allow Giri half the time. In the days leading up to the match, Giri and his lawyers further reasoned that if he should be allowed to halve his time, he should also be allowed to halve the remainder, and so on. A professional mathematician was consulted, and it was reasoned that indeed, by this logic, Giri should be allowed to have a infinitesimally small amount of time.
And then, in a flash of genius, Giri found a way to actually carry this out – he decided he would pre-move all the moves (with some surplus ones just to be safe) and pray that they were all legal and sound. As soon as the game began, he would send these over to the arbiter (who reasoned that this was entirely fair, and to his own peril), thereby taking no time to actually think or respond.
"Our client is a very busy man," Giri's lawyers told our flabbergasted reporters. "He keeps busy with his art, and other pursuits."
Stay tuned for updates on this strange situation.
UPDATE: Remarkably, all 79 of Anish Giri's pre-moves were entirely legal, and entirely sound, in his first match against Carlsen. Carlsen used up much of his time, often sweating profusely, while Giri merely sent over the moves and spent the rest of the afternoon sketching and doodling, or some such. Miraculously, this strategy worked – serendipitously, each of his pre-moves expertly parried those of Carlsen – which is why it is a shame that the 79-move game still ended in a draw.

Billy Mays - Did Head Injury Turn Deadly?
By Karlie Pouliot, | Fox News
How can a person be fine one minute and dead the next?
It happened to Natasha Richardson in March. After hitting her head on a ski slope in Canada, the Tony Award-winning actress was seemingly fine, laughing about being clumsy before heading back to her hotel room.
But a short-time later, Richardson complained of severe head pain and from there her condition deteriorated, she went into a coma shortly after arriving at a Canadian hospital and was taken off life support two days later.
Now, some are wondering if that same fate befell TV pitchman Billy Mays, who died Sunday after suffering a head injury Saturday after the airplane he was on had a rough landing at Tampa Bay's airport.
It's "something we call the 'talk and die' syndrome," Dr. Steven Flanagan, director of Rusk Institute of Rehabilitation Medicine at New York University's Langone Medical Center, told FOXNews.com at the time of Richardson's death.
"What this implies is that someone hits their head and they are seemingly OK initially," he said. "But then they get a rapid collection of blood — usually called epidural hemorrhage — and that means bleeding between the skull and the brain."
Fifty-year-old Mays, who joked with a reporter about his head injury after the plane's landing Saturday, apparently told his wife later that night he was not feeling well when he went to bed. He was found dead the next morning.
Related: Did Rough Plane Landing Cause Mays' Death?
Flanagan said a person doesn't always show outward signs of trauma when suffering a head injury.
"When someone has bleeding between the skull and the brain, it basically presses on the brain, and if it presses enough… it can cause substantial damage and even death," Flanagan said. "And presumably that's what probably happened to her — but again, we're speculating."
Symptoms of an epidural hemorrhage include:
— Headache;
— Loss of consciousness;
— Weakness on one side of the body;
— A change in mental status
If the condition is not treated immediately, the person will fall into a coma and "it's downhill from there," Flanagan said.
"So you need to get the injury treated immediately," he said. "First we would do an emergency CAT scan to find out exactly where the hemorrhage is, and then the patient would need immediate surgery."
While this demonstrates to use caution when suffering a painful head injury, Flanagan said people should not panic over every little bump and bruise.
"If you bumped your head getting out of the car, this wouldn't happen to you," he said. "It would have to be a significant injury."

Q: $G$ has square-free order and a unique subgroup for each prime factor. Prove that $G$ is cyclic.
Consider a finite group $G$ of square-free order, meaning $|G|=p_1p_2\dots p_k$ and no prime $p_i$ is repeated. Suppose that $G$ has a unique subgroup of order $p_i$ for each $i\in\{1,2,\dots,k\}$. Show that $G$ is cyclic.

My attempt:
Let $H_i$ denote the unique subgroup of $G$ of order $p_i$. The uniqueness of $H_i$ implies that $H_i \operatorname{char} G$ and thus $H_i \trianglelefteq G,\,\forall i\in\{1,2,\dots,k\}$. Moreover, each $H_i$ is cyclic (prime order).
Since all of the orders of all $H_i$'s are relatively coprime, we can guarantee that $H_i \cap H_{i+1}\cdots H_k=1$ for each $i\in\{1,\dots,k-1\}$ (note: this is an intersection of two sets, $H_i$ and a product of the next subsets!).
This means that $H_1\cdots H_k \trianglelefteq G$ and $H_1\cdots H_k \cong H_1 \times \dots \times H_k$. Thus, $|H_1\cdots  H_k|=p_1\cdot \dots \cdot p_k = |G|$, but we know that the product of these $k$ subsets is a subset of $G$. We have now proved $G = H_1\cdots H_k \cong H_1 \times \dots \times H_k$. Since $G$ is isomorphic to a direct product of cyclic groups AND each of the orders are coprime, we can conclude that $G$ is cyclic as well.
I don't know if this is a correct approach/proof, so I'd like to get some feedback from you.
Thanks a lot!

It's been nearly 30 years since Kawasaki's previous sports 125 – the last AR125 was sold way back in 1991. So you could say 2019's naked Z125 and faired Ninja 125 are so long overdue, Kawasaki have effectively missed out on a whole generation of teenage riders in the meantime.
But that's now been fixed, and the Z125 and Ninja 125 arrive in 2019 to complete Kawasaki's Z-series and Ninja line-up – with that crucial A1 licence step into a lifelong career in biking. BikeSocial is at the launch in Malaga, Spain, to find out exactly how much Kawasaki DNA is in the new 125s. Turns out there's quite a lot of existing Kawasaki in them.
It just so happens the bike I rode the day before swinging an early-onset arthritic leg over the Ninja 125 and Z125 was another Kawasaki. It had 200bhp and a supercharger. So you'd think the transition to 14.8bhp, some 92 per cent less, would be a shock.
But, as any teenager will tell you, when you're graduating up to an A1-licence 125 from a 28mph, 3bhp 50cc moped, almost 15bhp is 400 per cent more. That's a much bigger step.
The Ninja 125 and Z125 share the same engine and gearbox. It's essentially a sleeved-down 28bhp Z250SL motor, which means it's massively under-stressed, if otherwise conventional: four-valve, four-stroke single cylinder, well over-square at 58.0mm x 47.2mm. With peak power at 10,000rpm and peak torque nearby at 7700rpm, this suggests the Ninja 125 and Z125 will be rev-happy chappies.
And so it proves. I start the day on the Ninja 125, and lugging my 15-stone carcass away into the chill Spanish air requires a big dose of clutch-slip – it's reminiscent of a twist-and-go scooter – before the engine hooks up into its narrow powerband and produces a fair smattering of drive from 6500rpm and above. Keep the revs up and there's plenty of go to keep pace with town traffic, and enough off-the-line zip (with tons of clutch slip) to boogie away at the front of the traffic lights without holding anyone up.
As Malaga's busy streets give way to a gentle dual carriageway climb upwards towards the mountains north of the city, the Ninja's A1 licence power cap becomes more apparent and at 60mph, with the single cylinder buzzing like a chainsaw, there's not a great deal of headroom left for overtaking without planning well ahead. The Ninja really takes a merciless thrashing to keep its speed up, and there are some combinations of incline for which there's no appropriate gear; third, say, is too high and bounces into the 10,500rpm rev limiter, but go up to fourth and the speed and revs will gradually drop. Yup, it's got a powerband like a two-stroke.
But as the ride moves higher into the mountains, and the road get slower and twistier, suddenly the Ninja's natural performance limitations – those that afflict all 125s, not just Kawasaki – become a positive. Riding the Kawasaki becomes the breathless, flat-out game of keeping it pinned, familiar to all teenagers; you don't want to shut off, brake or knock it back one because you lose precious speed. It's too easy, on a full power bike, to botch a corner and regain momentum. On the Ninja 125, man you have to work for it. And it's so rewarding when you get it right. You just need to find the right road. Even full throttle gearchanges (through a stiff but reliable box) are an opportunity to preserve a few revs – the Ninja and Z125s don't have a quickshifter, but keep it nailed until the motor bounces off the rev limiter and it's the same thing.
The Ninja and Z125's motor isn't the smoothest unit – at around 7000rpm a strange harmonic resonance appears, like two sine waves interacting. Several times I thought I was being followed by a police car, sirens going. An optional Arrow end can improves the sound.
With exactly the same engine as the Ninja, you'd expect the Z125 to exhibit exactly the same performance and feel, and it does. There's slightly less mechanical noise than the Ninja; the sportsbike's fairing probably amplifies the sound of an espresso cup-sized piston averaging 35mph ping-ponging back and forth across a two-inch gap. It's one of the disadvantages of a high-revving engine as opposed to, say, Yamaha's under-square YZF-R125, which does what the Kawasaki does, only at lower rpms.
Top speed of both bikes is just over 70mph, limited by the 10,500rpm rev limiter in top gear.
The Ninja and Z125 share the same 11 litre tank (same shape, not the actual tank), and after 80 or so miles of ham-fisted riding the fuel gauge shows half a tank remaining; around 150 miles should be within easy reach.
The Ninja and Z125's chassis are almost identical – same steel tube frame (with obvious Z-family heritage) and steel swingarm, same 37mm unadjustable tele forks, preload-only rear shock, 263mm wavy disc with sliding two-pot caliper, wheels, steering geometry – basically, everything except a few degrees of rake (the Ninja has 0.7° less rake angle, possibly because the forks still a little higher in the yokes – which are different; the Z has risers for a handlebar, and the Ninja has clip-ons and a fairing stay and clocks bracket). Thanks to its extra bodywork the Ninja is slightly heavier than the Z, at 148kg to 146kg, and has slightly less steering lock and ground clearance.
But ground clearance shouldn't be an issue on either bike. The standard Dunlop TT900 rubber isn't as bad as the stuff fitted to some other 125s (looking at you, KTM). And, despite some intense hooning on mountain roads, grip is consistent even if the road surface isn't. But you'd have to have a lot of confidence on a bone-dry day and smooth tarmac to go banging pegs down – even at moderate knee-down angles, the Kawasakis' budget damping will have the springs chattering in protest.
But in normal use, ride quality from both bikes is good – machines that weigh so little usually are the ones that would benefit from quality suspension the most, and are usually the ones least likely to have it. But both Kawasakis respond to general bumps and road aggro with composure. And their agility is excellent – with so little mass to swap direction, the Z and Ninja slice through traffic like a paper cut.
Of course, some of you might be sitting thinking the 125s' frame and chassis set-up look familiar – because it is. Like the motor, the frame, forks, wheels, brakes, swingarm are all borrowed from the Z250SL of a few years back. And when we say 'borrowed', we mean almost literally, with a few brackets and bits for new fittings. It's tempting to say this kind of platform engineering can only be a good thing because it reduces costs across the board... but the Z250SL is still on sale, and it costs £3650. The Z125 starts at £4100.
Unlike the Z250SL, the 125s have got ABS – it's a Bosch system, acting on the 263mm wavy front disc, with sliding two-pot caliper, and the rear 193mm disc with single pot caliper. The performance of the system is nicely balanced with fork damping and front tyre grip to generate the optimum stopping power: a big handful over bumps gets the ABS on-off-on pumping in time with fork chatter, but under most riding conditions braking is perfectly fine.
A worry with big fellas on small bikes is looking daft – and seeing Kawasaki say 40% of the reasons given for choosing a 125 is down to looks, the way you feel you appear to the outside world as you skim past on your Ninja or Z125 really matters.
Thankfully, the Ninja and Z125 are roomy enough for a six-foot chunker without feeling contorted. I've ridden plenty of bigger bikes with less spacious riding positions. The narrow tank has deep, tall cut-outs and only people with unnaturally long tibs and fibs will find their knees bashing bar ends.
Despite its clip-ons, the Ninja is more of a sports touring riding position and doesn't feel radical. The Z250s bars are wider and give more steering leverage over the front end – but the Z steers so quickly it hardly needs it anyway.
If you regularly spin your bike round in a confined area, it's worth knowing the Z250 has a slightly tighter turning circle than the Ninja. It also has a taller seat – 815mm – against the Ninja's 785mm. The difference is down to seat foam thickness – which means it's possible to swap them for personal preference.
This is one of the Z125 and Ninja 125's big problem areas. The dash, like the chassis, is lifted straight across from the Z250SL and, as such, it's about as appealing as a brick. Dull LCDs, no colour, and information limited to rpm, speed and trips – no fuel consumption, no average speeds and no gear position indictor. And there's certainly none of the Bluetooth integration you get with KTM's TFT dash, or Aprilia's screen.
Neither do you get many other bells or whistles. The new YZF R125 has a slipper clutch. The Aprilia RS125 has an optional quickshifter. The Suzuki GSX-R125 has keyless ignition. The best the Ninja and Z125 can offer is an Arrow end can.
Before we get the Z125 and Ninja 125s in the UK to test back to back with their rivals, in isolation they seem like good, solid, handsome 125s with a big bike feel (if not big bike performance) and cracking good looks. They both handle well, have plenty of suspension and grip, and brakes that work wit feel and power. Performance is revvy and top-endy, and if it might better if the motor made more power at lower rpm. But for now, it's looking good.
Until, that is, you look a bit deeper and discover the 125s are a direct rip from a previous model – not a problem in itself, but there's been previous little attempt to enhance or uprate the bikes and they're still significantly more expensive. And compared to their 125 rivals, the Ninja 125 and Z125 start to look a bit under-spec'd. On the other hand, they're an absolute blast to ride.

Workers, employers blame Obamacare for higher premiums, but experts say the causes are a lot more complicated than that
By molly_burchett	Published September 30, 2013 YOUR HEALTH
By Molly Burchett
While the main provisions of the federal health-reform law are only now taking effect, some Americans are already saying it doesn't work and are blaming it for higher insurance premiums and deductibles. But the cause and effect are uncertain.
"The connection between the new benefit plans and the new law isn't as clear as it might seem . . . because many of the coming benefit changes have been talked about and embraced by companies for years, long before Obamacare became an emotional and political lightning rod," reports Dan Horn of The Kentucky Enquirer.
As they renew or enroll in employer health plans, workers are taking note of unwelcome changes, including new fees and surcharges, more high-deductible plans, bigger penalties for not participating in wellness programs, and the elimination of benefits for spouses, Horn writes.
"The law represents the most profound change to the nation's health care system in decades, and uncertainty over its provisions has made both businesses and individuals nervous," Horn reports. "With the [employer] mandate on hold, most companies get another year before the Affordable Care Act changes the game."
Nearly one in five Americans believe their health insurance costs have gone up because of Obamacare, says CNBC's third quarter All-America Economic Survey.
Actual health-insurance premiums to cover working Americans rose 4 percent this year, less than in the previous two years, says the Kaiser report. Slow premium growth indicates a slowdown in health benefit costs for U.S. companies, which economists attribute to an overall economic slowdown. And, the tepid economic recovery and decline in personal wealth continues to impact the health sector, says a recent Price Waterhouse Cooper Health Research Institute report.
Shifting costs to employees
While premiums may be rising more slowly for employers, they could be rising more rapidly for workers because employers' insurance plans are shifting more costs to workers. Many companies are moving to high-deductible plans that require employees to pay a larger share of their costs.
The Pricewaterhouse Coopers report said in 2013 that the number of employers offering only high-deductible plans increased 31 percent over 2012, and another 44 percent of employers are considering the move for 2014. Transitions to high-deductible plans can affect health care costs; when consumers pay more for their health care, they often make more cost-conscious choices.
"Businesses have been shifting more of the costs of health insurance to workers through premiums, deductibles and other cost-sharing," said Drew Altman, Kaiser Family Foundation CEO. "From a consumer perspective, the cost of health insurance just keeps going up faster than wages."
Over the last decade, premiums have risen almost three times as fast as wages or inflation. The average premium for family coverage has increased 80 percent, and worker contribution has increased 89 percent over the past decade and 14 percent more than in 2009, says the Kaiser report.
A new study by the Kaiser foundation says the economy has had the biggest influence on health care utilization and spending.
It says adjustments to health benefit plans have been slowly occurring over the past decade, well before Obamacare became policy, and economic conditions may influence workers' perception of health insurance costs. "We're seeing that the continued economic downturn is leading to more burden for employees," said Gary Claxton, vice president of the foundation.
The economic decline has put pressure on companies to reduce overall costs and pass along the expense of health insurance to the employees, said Claxton. Companies have been trimming benefits and implementing cost-saving and cost-control measures for some time, but many still blame these unpopular measures on Obamacare. "Why wouldn't you?" he asked.
Proponents of Obamacare say it's actually helping control costs. Even if it isn't now, it will eventually, Claxton told Drew Armstrong of Bloomberg in a conference call. His boss agrees.
"Historically, we have always seen the health-care marketplace respond by lowering costs when there is the threat of impending health reform legislation or government action on costs," Altman wrote in a recent column for Politico. "Now we have not only the threat but the reality,"
Big changes are on the way
The health law builds on employer-sponsored insurance, but since it makes such big changes to the system, some are questioning how it will impact the employers' role in providing insurance. A study by the RAND Corp. says that through state insurance exchanges' putting employees of small firms into a single risk pool, Obamacare could alleviate some of the difficulties faced by small firms that want to offer insurance.
Many people are concerned that the law may cause employers to stop offering health insurance. The RAND study predicts the opposite, saying that the number of workers offered coverage will increase from 115.1 million (84.6 percent of the approximately 136.0 million U.S. workers) to 128.7 million (94.6 percent ) after the reform.
The large increase in coverage will stem from small business coverage, which will be driven by a greater demand for coverage by workers due to individual penalties for being uninsured and the availability lower-cost insurance options, says the RAND study.
However, health plans may look different than those before the health law passed. The state exchanges allow an employer to provide employees with more plan options. The Kaiser report notes that the exchanges encourage employers to deliver health benefits in a lump sum that employees can use to buy insurance through the exchange.
Another trend tied to the law is the proliferation of employee wellness programs. New federal rules for such programs allow employers to have larger financial rewards for employees who participate in them, and allow employers to penalize employees for specific behaviors, such as smoking.
Horn, writing in the Enquirer, says companies have embraced wellness programs as a way to offset costs: "No matter where they stand with the law, companies are constantly looking for new ways to save on health care."
These health-benefit approaches, just like the premiums paid for the plans, will vary with each exchange. Kaiser says the common theme is to give employees choices, along with financial responsibility for those choices. The fact is, as a result of the health law, some Americans will pay more for health insurance and some will pay less.
"Whether this new way of purchasing coverage works for employers and their employees, and how it affects benefits and plan costs, will be among the more important stories for the employer health insurance market over the next few years," says the Kaiser report.

An aerial view of Pamilacan Island | Photo by: Angel Baldapan, Jr.
National Museum Bohol gives you an aerial view of Pamilacan Island – known for its abundant marine ecosystem.
Pamilacan Island is part of the Bohol Marine Triangle where 18 species of dolphins and whales can be found.
Some of these are
spinner dolphins,
spotted dolphins,
bottlenose dolphins,
dwarf sperm whales,
melon-headed whales,
Risso's dolphins,
short-finned pilot whales,
Bryde's whales, and
Blue whales.
In fact, the Bohol Sea is known as the breeding grounds of these friendly marine mammals.
Sightseers usually start traveling as early as six o'clock in the morning from the coast of Baluarte in Baclayon for them to enjoy the spectacular view of dolphins jumping out of the waters and doing somersaults.
It is important to note that these mammals are protected and therefore all must keep up to the government's regulations for its protection, preservation, and conservation.
At this vantage point, one will see a distant view of the island's 200-year-old watchtower built in the Spanish-era which was declared as a National Cultural Treasure by the National Museum of the Philippines.

"Every day I wish those Johanssens would move to Siberia!" exclaimed Tabby. Her voice trembled with rage and her eyes filled with tears of anguish.
Usually my client Tabby is an intelligent, calm and popular individual. Her speech is peppered with amusing quips delivered with a good humored smile. However all that had changed during the past few weeks. Her whole life has become clouded by a series of confrontations with her neighbors.
From the outside looking in it can be hard not to laugh at the series of little incidents which had erupted into this full blown feud. It all began with a parking dispute. Then it became inflamed when Tabby's cat bested the Johanssen's cat in a feline squabble. Out and out warfare came about when the Johanssen's 10 year old daughter put a garden hose in Tabby's young daughter's bedroom window and turned the water on.
Any temptation to laugh at all of this is quickly squelched though with one glance at Tabby's face as she describes how the accelerating vendetta has impacted her. Unfortunately this scene isn't at all unusual. With populations rising many of us are living at closer and closer quarters with many different kinds of neighbors. Apartment complexes, condominiums and zero lot line suburban housing projects generate clashes between those who are jammed together.
What can you do when confrontations seem inevitable with a difficult neighbor? This unhappy experience is one most of us have at least once. Aside from some common sense guidelines (such as not jumping to conclusions or over reacting) a glance at your horoscope can help. The 3rd house is the area which describes neighbors and the roles they will play in your life. Begin by considering the sign ruling your 3rd house at birth, then study any planets in that section for deeper insights. Your familiar Sun sign offers an easy and effective starting point.
Mercury and the sign of Gemini are the neighbor indicators for you. They might be talkative, filled with curiosity (Ok, nosey) and ask innocent questions which seem to encourage gossip. Be careful about revealing confidential information, don't talk about one neighbor to another. Mail delivery, transporting children to school, commuter travel, bicycle traffic and loud outdoor phone bells and conversations can trigger complaints. A neighbor might be a teacher or media specialist.
Your neighbors are described by the Moon and the sign of Cancer. There can be a number of multi-generation families nearby. Small children playing can get overly protective nanas and mamas upset if the kiddies argue over games and toys. Children and the elderly can be at the center of adult controversies. Ethnic group differences can come into play. Relationships might improve if one takes time to understand the cultural traditions neighbors have grown up with. Much pride will be taken in nice yards, furnishings and decorations. Compliment neighbors on their homes and children, then they will become staunch allies. One neighbor might be a historian or work in food and hospitality.
Leo and the Sun describe your 3rd house of neighbors. Great pride will be taken in image and reputation. Some neighbors might seem to be snobs. The phrase "keeping up with the Joneses" is apt. Get along well with your neighbors by letting them shine. Don't be overly competitive, find what they take pride in and offer an occasional word of praise. Flamboyant Sun-Leo energies love a party. Neighborhood block parties, barbecues or yard sales can be appealing to them. Be tolerant if neighbors have noisy gatherings and invite them over once in a while if giving a party of your own. One of them might work in tourism or the theater.
Virgo and Mercury rule your neighbors. Health and safety factors as well as small animals all come into play. Keep your pets under control, don't let them bark or prowl where unwanted. Be tolerant of their pets too. You might criticize neighbors too much or live near those who are fussy perfectionists. Be cautious about circulating petitions or voicing complaints to head off misunderstandings. A neighbor could work in health care or computer technology.
Libra and Venus are descriptive of your neighbors. You might socialize a great deal, or perhaps belong to the same clubs and organizations. If single there could be a romantic involvement. I had one client with Venus in her 3rd house of neighbors who actually married the guy across the street! Usually you're fortunate regarding neighbors. They tend to be well mannered, artistically inclined an interested in neighborhood beautification projects. Neighbors might offer advice about remodeling or landscaping your home. Accept this graciously. Plant pretty flowers and shrubs to hide garbage containers. One neighbor could be a photographer or attorney.
Your neighbors are described by Scorpio and Pluto. This can be one of the more difficult patterns for keeping the peace. Neighbors can have vastly diverse life styles and values. Don't try to change them, but try to "put yourself in their shoes". There can be some break-ins and legal infractions afoot. If you dislike someone, use care. All is often not as it seems. Accidents or wicked weather or other adversities have a way of drawing neighbors closer together, encouraging better communication and camaraderie. Look for ways to resolve apparent problems and you can spark the catalyst to assure good will. Your neighbors will be secretive, you might not ever know what they really do or who they are.
Jupiter and Sagittarius are your neighbor indicators. Managing wild or stray animals as well as issues linked to pets can create sensitive issues. Larger dogs, horses, goats or unusual/exotic animals can be a part of neighborhood dynamics. Folks can be blunt and tactless, try not to get offended too easily. Athletic events can be popular. One client with this configuration in her horoscope lives on a street which is always being closed off to allow marathon runners access. This has created much grief and anger. Very religious neighbors who invite you to their churches can be nearby, you might also find yourself residing near a school. Honesty and a liberal attitude will help you keep the peace. A neighbor could be a pastor, athlete or animal trainer.
Capricorn and the planet Saturn describe your neighborhood situation. You might be forced to live near those who seem to be of a lower socio-economic level. If you secretly see the neighbors as "blue collar red necks", keep this observation to yourself. The age gap can be a hurdle. Older housing, cramped drive ways and tiny yards cn pose situations to cope with. In a positive sense historic preservation, preserving land marks and traditions can connect neighbors in a constructive way. There always seem to be repair projects afoot. Seek ways to keep this quiet and safe. Neighbors can be retirees or maintenance workers.
Uranus and Aquarius are your astrological neighbor indicators. Very unusual eccentric characters can dwell near you. If not, then conservative neighbors can view you as the odd one out or the weirdo! Neighbors will usually come across as friendly, but you would do well to keep contact impersonal. Until you gradually get to know more about individual neighbors, just offer a friendly wave from a distance. Neighbors can have many gadgets such as alarms, cameras, unusual lights or holiday decorations operating. Some of them might try to organize a neighborhood watch or e-mail exchange. There can be much coming and going punctuated by unexpected moves in and out. There's never a dull moment in your neighborhood. A neighbor might be a ghost tracker, psychic or astrologer.
Your neighbor are described by Neptune and Pisces. There can be at least one handicapped, disturbed or depressed person nearby. Expect be some barriers initially in figuring them out. Don't discount alcohol, etc. as a factor. Before complaining about an ornery neighbor to the authorities, be sure you are right in doing so. Neighbors can be hypersensitive and easily upset. Good or bad, they aren't as they first seem. A few kind gestures on your part can work wonders. Offer help if someone seems to need it. Water rights, zoning regulations and boundaries, the location of property lines, might have to be resolved at some point. A neighbor might be a sailor, mystic or beach comber.
Aries and Mars are your astrological indicators concerning neighbors. They might be especially proud of their motorcycles and race cars. There can be some issues about racing them up and down the street. Neighbors will be assertive and won't hesitate to let you know their concerns. You might live near law enforcement or military personnel. Someone wants to run the neighborhood, expect a power struggle. Assert yourself in a good humored way. Anger can flair up and then die down if you're patient. There can be someone who believes in carrying weapons to be aware of. If the neighborhood is a dangerous one use care in firearm control. Usually a grudge isn't held though. Leave a neighbor who is momentarily upset alone and chances are all will be forgiven and activities forgotten. A neighbor could be a soldier or mechanic.
Your neighbors are described by Taurus and Venus. Usually they will want to preserve the status quo in their routine activities while upholding conservative values. If you're a newcomer, don't try to change things right away. Try to fit into the picture amicably as it is. Some of your neighbors might be into real estate and landscaping, so maintaining a nice yard may endear you to them. Others among them might be bankers, musicians or artists. Your neighbors will be impressed if you appear to be classy and affluent with a high income. Try to appreciate your neighbors, the same set might be near you for many years to come. Expect less coming and going in your neighborhood than usual. A neighbor might be a business person.
After considering neighbors using your solar 3rd house guidelines above, consider the entry for your ascendant or rising sign and also natal planets in your 3rd house for deeper insights. By transit, Mars crossing through the 3rd can generate a cycle of tension among neighbors. Jupiter can bring a helpful or gifted neighbor your way. An eclipse in the 3rd house can promise new neighbors and/or a long time one who has been a fixture in the area departing. Also eclipses and outer planet transits in your 3rd house can indicate sink holes, construction projects or other upsets which profoundly change the neighborhood.
