MANILA, Philippines — The Department of National Defense (DND) on Wednesday said France had not offered submarines "in exchange for permission" to survey Philippine waters. It also said that buying the underwater vessel is not among the country's current priorities.
"We would like to clarify that, contrary to published reports, DND Officer-in-Charge Senior Undersecretary Jose C. Faustino Jr. said in a recent interview that the procurement of submarines is actually not yet a priority for the Department as of now," DND spokesperson Arsenio Andolong said in a statement.
Andolong admitted that many suppliers had expressed interest in selling submarines in the country, including France.
But "there is no truth to the report that there is an offer to the Department for submarines in exchange for permission to explore Philippine waters," he added.
The DND official also noted a 2016 arrangement with France for defense cooperation although, he pointed out, there was never a mention of such a proposal during France's engagements with the defense agency.
"We do have a 2016 Arrangement with France on defense cooperation, and in the course of the Department's engagements with representatives from France, there was never a mention or discussion of such a proposal," he said.
In a press briefing, Faustino said the country could not easily take such an offer for submarines in exchange for consent to explore Philippine waters because there must be a "constitutional process" to do such a thing.
"It's not that easy because we have constitutional processes," the DND officer-in-charge said.
To recall, former DND Secretary Delfin Lorenzana said the Philippines is looking to acquire French-made submarines and that there has been cooperation between Manila and Paris for training on submarine operation in a bid to prepare the country should it finally acquire its own sub.

The Philippines, an archipelago with one of the world's longest coastlines and which has an ongoing maritime dispute with neighbors, is crawling in the submarine race with other Southeast Asian countries.
Currently, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Singapore have a submarine in their arsenal.

San Felices de Bilibio, también llamado Félix (c.443 - 540), fue un anacoreta de Bilibio, hoy municipio de Haro (La Rioja, España). Su festividad se celebra el 25 de junio.

Su vida
Se cree que nació alrededor del año 433, viviendo durante años como anacoreta en los Riscos de Bilibio próximos a Haro. A él acudió el año 493 San Millán, para quien haría de maestro durante tres años, antes de que este se dirigiese a los montes Cogollos. Falleció en el año 520, siendo enterrado en el monte de Bilibio, donde permanecerían sus restos hasta que fueran trasladados en 1090 al Monasterio de San Millán de Yuso por el abad Blas y doce monjes, con los permisos de Alfonso VI y Lope Díaz de Haro.

Sus reliquias
En 1052 García Sánchez consagró el Monasterio de Santa María la Real de Nájera que él mismo había mandado construir. Tras esto quiso enriquecerlo trayendo los cuerpos de Santos de la comarca, pidiendo su aprobación a los obispos Sancho de Pamplona, García de Álava y Gómez de Burgos. Ese mismo año intentó trasladar el cuerpo de Felices, llegando a tal acuerdo con el obispo de Álava. Este se dirigió a los Riscos de Bilibio acompañado de muchos caballeros pero cuando abrió la sepultura, sintió separarse del túmulo y se le torció la boca, tras lo que dio inicio una fuerte tormenta. Al parecer que el cielo se oponía al traslado, se marcharon, pero parece que el obispo conservaría la deformación de su cara de por vida.

Cuenta Grimaldo que poco después de la conquista de Toledo (1085, realizada por el rey Alfonso VI de Castilla), el abad Blas del Monasterio de San Millán, habiendo leído en la vida de san Millán que su maestro san Felices había fallecido en el Castillo de Bilibio y que se encontraba allí sepultado en un terreno tan escabroso que no se le daba el culto que se merecía por su gran santidad, se decidió a trasladar las reliquias a su monasterio. No se sabe bien por qué, pero pasaron unos años hasta que continuó su iniciativa, solicitando permiso al señor del Castillo de Bilibio, Lope Íñiguez. Este les indicó que el permiso deberían solicitarlo al rey Alfonso VI, a quien pertenecía el castillo. Al preguntarle a este, contestó:

Poco después el abad junto con doce monjes se dirigieron hacia Bilibio. Así el 6 de noviembre de 1090 la guardia del castillo, previo permiso de Lope, les abrió las puertas y por la dura pendiente subieron hasta un gran llano sobre la cumbre, donde dijeron una misa. Después se dirigieron a la sepultura de Felices, que se encontraba en la punta de una peña, a la parte del oriente, delante del altar de la ermita fundada en aquel lugar en una cuevecilla hecha a pico de cantero con algunas labores de cantería para adorno. Rota la bóveda de ésta, encontraron un ataúd de madera que contenía el cuerpo. Al descubrirse el túmulo, indica que salió una exquisita fragancia (Hergueta señala que el olor podría deberse a que antiguamente junto a los cuerpos se enterraban vasijas con aromas). Envolvieron las reliquias en paños muy limpios y las llevaron con éxito al Monasterio de San Millán de Suso. El traslado debió aumentar la fe en este Santo, puesto que varios son los milagros documentados ocurridos a personas que se dirigieron a él en rogativa.

Arca de las reliquias

Sandoval describió el arca donde se albergaban las reliquias de Felices en San Millán como

Un arca de plata, de largo vara y cuarta y de alto siete ochavas, con seis figuras de plata sobredoradas en cada parte y cuatro cuadros de figuras de marfil en las que aparece el Salvador con sus Apóstoles, La Última Cena, La entrada de Egipto y dos mesas con sus ánforas. En la otra parte del arca hay ocho figuras de plata sobredorada, de una gema de largo cada una, en las que aparecen los apóstoles cada uno en su tabernáculo. Está rodeada de piedras de cristal grandes y buenas y otras pardas y diferentes. En el frontispicio aparecen dieciséis figuras de marfil. Una es de un monje revestido poniendo la mano en los ojos a un niño pequeño y el resto son de personas de pie con libros en las manos y todos tienen diademas. En medio del frontispicio hay un pequeño escudo de cuatro pequeñas bandas de plata rayadas y otras cuatro esmaltadas de morado jaspeado. Sobre el escudo hay tres piedras de cristal y una parda. Una de las de cristal es mayor que un huevo y en su interior se lee "Petrus abbas fecit anno 1451" (Muy probablemente el año en el que se fabricó). En el otro frontisficio hay otro cuadro con quince figuras de marfil. En medio hay un escudo esmaltado en campo azul, con una mano con mango de cogulla dorada cogiendo una espada desnuda y sobre ella una Cruz con bandera que son las armas de San Millán. Encima del escudo hay un campo triangulado con una piedra central de cristal, del tamaño de una camuesa, alrededor de ella tres cruces, cada una de cinco piedras coloradas, verdes y pardas. Tiene otras muchas piedras y labores y un letrero ilegible.

Milagros

Lista de milagros:
Los escritos por el monje Grimaldo, contemporáneo que presenció el segundo y el tercero:
 Un mozo enfermo y contrahecho llamado Julián, natural de Certices, el día de San Martín, víspera de San Millán, sufrió un ataque de nervios tan grande que quedó privado del sentido y formado un círculo con su cuerpo por tener los pies pegados a la cabeza. En este estado, medio muerto, lo llevó su padre al día siguiente al Monasterio de San Millán y estando echado junto al altar de San Félix, después de implorar su protección el padre, se le halló repentinamente sano y ágil.
 A un monje y sacristán del convento de San Millán llamado Juan, que se encomendó a San Félix, le curó enseguida unas cuartanas (variedad del paludismo) que le habían durado quince meses.
 A otro monje del mismo convento llamado García, que imploró la protección del Santo delante del altar donde estaban sus reliquias, le sanó igualmente de un desfallecimiento general cuando tenía perdidas las esperanzas de recobrar la salud.
 Cinco días después de la Natividad del señor, el mismo año de la Traslación, a una mujer ciega llamada Oria del lugar de Baños, llevó su marido delante del altar de San Félix movido de la fama que por aquellos contornos divulgaba los frecuentes milagros y maravillas insignes que obraba Dios con todos los enfermos por su intercesión, y a los tres días de continuada oración le fue restituido el sentido de la vista.
 A una moza de Puras llamada Andrea, que tenía una mano completamente seca, un Jueves Santo la restituyó el uso de este miembro.
 Otra ciega llamada Toda, de edad avanzada, natural de la villa de Pedroso, que hacía siete años se encontraba totalmente sin vista, le fue devuelta al día siguiente de San Torcuato con solo restregarse los ojos con la toalla del altar del Santo.
 El mismo día de la traslación del cuerpo de San Félix, con solo aplicar el abad don Blas una costilla del Santo antes de cerrarse la urna, a un monje de San Millán llamado García se le quitó un dolor agudo que le había vuelto inútil el brazo.

Los recogidos en la obra de Diego Mecolaeta, padre benedictino natural de Briones:
 Un hombre desconocido, llegando al Convento de San Millán en ocasión de celebrarse la traslación de San Felices, curó completamente de los pies, que los tenía monstruosamente deformes.
 Antiguamente en la Pascua del Espíritu Santo se llevaban las urnas en que estaban los Santos cuerpos de Millán y Felices del nuevo al antiguo Monasterio de San Millán y al volverlos al tercer día al nuevo Monasterio, salía la mitad de los monjes con el abad al encuentro con la imagen de Nuestra Señora de las Batallas que, al hacer genuflexiones a esta imagen los que llevaban las urnas, a la primera se apagaban las velas de las andas de la Virgen y se volvían a encender ellas solas a la tercera.

Los recogidos por el monje Fernando en la Historia de la traslación y milagros de San Millán:
 Un soldado endemoniado quedó libre de espíritu maligno por la intercesión de San Félix y San Millán.
 A una mujer llamada María se le aparecieron San Félix y San Millán vestidos de ropas blancas para comunicarla que había en el sepulcro de San Millán una cinta que el Santo hizo arrojar por la boca a un energúmeno.

Patronazgo
 Patrón de la ciudad de Haro desde el 31 de enero de 1644 y festejado anualmente el 25 de junio.
 En la ciudad de Viana, el portal donde se puso la primera piedra de la villa está dedicado a este santo, siendo festejado anualmente el 1 de febrero.

Monumentos en Haro

 En 1694 se erige la primera ermita de San Felices al pie del cerro de la Mota; hoy ya no existe.
 En 1710 se construye la ermita de los Riscos de Bilibio, próximos a Haro. Reconstruida en los años 1862 (por Saturnino Vallejo y Baltanás) y 1942. Junto a esta ermita de los Riscos, se colocó el 30 de enero de 1944 la primera piedra de una estatua (obra de Vicente Ochoa Moreno, de Cervera del Río Alhama), costeada por suscripción popular.

No sería hasta el 21 de junio de 1964 cuando, faltando cuatro días para el 330 aniversario de la proclamación como patrono de Haro, se continuase y terminase la obra, con ayuda de muchos jarreros que colaboraron para subir las diferentes partes hasta el alto. Muestra a San Felices con un libro abierto entre sus manos.

Cofradía de Haro

 El 2 de junio de 1655 se constituyó la Cofradía de San Felices.
 En septiembre de 1998 la Cofradía de San Felices decide comprar el solar de la plaza de la Iglesia donde se construyó la Casa del Santo, sede de la Cofradía hasta el 30 de mayo de 2008.
 A partir del 1 de junio de 2009 se traslada a la nueva sede, también en la plaza de la Iglesia, en una antigua casa del  conocida como "Casa del Diezmo".
 Al frente de la Junta de Gobierno de la Cofradía están el abad, Manuel Hernández, y el prior, Jorge Zabala Fernández.

Melixiku o Meli-Šiḫu, o també Melixipak (Meli-Šipak) va ser un rei cassita de Babilònia. Va succeir a Adadxumausur cap a l'any 1188 aC i va regnar uns quinze anys.

El problema de la successió a Babilònia, que reclamaven els reis elamites igihàlquides, semblava que havia de quedar superat per l'ascens al poder d'una nova dinastia, els sutrúquides. Una germana de Melixiku es va casar amb Sutruk-Nakhunte, el segon rei elamita sutrúquida, que va regnar potser del 1185 aC al 1155 aC. Però durant el seu regnat o en el del seu fill i successor Mardukaplaiddina, el rei Sutruk-Nahhunte, que probablement va ser qui va escriure una carta a un rei no esmentat de Babilònia (conservada al Museu de Berlín) reclamant el tron, va dirigir les primeres expedicions a Mesopotàmia. Per les inscripcions se sap que va saquejar Akkad, Babilònia i Eixnunna, de la darrera de les quals es va emportar les estàtues de Manixtusu, i va portar a Susa el codi d'Hammurabi i l'Estela de Naram-Sin

Durant el seu regnat, Melixiku va fer nombroses donacions de terres i va dessecar uns terrenys pantanosos vora de l'anomenat Canal Reial. Aquests terrenys van quedar lliures d'impostos i cap dirigent del districte no les podia creuar. El va succeir el seu fill Mardukaplaiddina.

IB Results in Vietnam: The roundup so far
The IB results for the 2017-18 academic year are in – and students at international schools in HCMC and Hanoi are scoring above the global average.
By Carli Allan
Do your children attend a Vietnam school? Take our survey and help other parents.
WhichSchoolAdvisor's annual school survey.
The long wait is over, and students at 11 international schools in Vietnam have received their International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) results. There were 469 students who sat the IB in the 2017-18 academic year.
In terms of context, the global average for the IBDP is 29.78, down marginally on the previous year. Vietnam however posted an above average IB average of 33.24.
Each point in the IB is the equivalent of approximately 2.2%. The maximum IB score is 45.
The results were announced on July 5 at American International School of Vietnam, Australian International School, (Thu Thiem); British International School, Hanoi; British International School, Ho Chi Minh City (An Phu Secondary); Canadian International School - Vietnam; European International School; Hanoi International School; International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) (Secondary); Renaissance International School Saigon; Saigon South International School; and United Nations International School of Hanoi.
There are four full IB schools, offering all three programmes including the PYP, MYP and IBDP. These are European International School, Hanoi International School (Co., Ltd), International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) (Secondary), and United Nations International School of Hanoi. The International School of Vietnam will introduce the IBDP from September 2018.
Of the schools that have published results so far…
At British International School (BIS) HCMC the 11th cohort of students achieved a 100% pass rate with an average score of 36.3 points; this is considerably higher than the global average of 29.78 points and just a very slight increase on the school's average score last year of 36.2. In total, 23.9% of students achieved 40 points and above, and the highest score was 45.
Principal Anthony Rowlands said:
"Our parents will be very proud and deservedly so, as they have played such a pivotal role in their child's success. BIS HCMC goes from strength to strength and it is all down to the wonderful people that make up our vibrant community."
At British International School (BIS) Hanoi, the school's first IB cohort achieved an average score of 32.3 and there was a 96% pass rate. The top mark was 44 points, just one short of full marks.
Principal Sue Hill said:
"We are incredibly proud of our pioneering students. We cannot underestimate this special achievement. To exceed the global average in our first attempt at the International Baccalaureate is extraordinary."
At International School Ho Chi Minh City (ISHCMC) (Secondary), students achieved a 98% pass rate with an average score of 33.5 points. A total of 61 out of 65 IB students were awarded the IBDP, and one student received a perfect score of 45 point. In addition, seven students achieved a score of 40, 23% of students scored 39 points, and 67% of the 2018 cohort achieved a bilingual diploma. ISHCMC is an inclusive school where all senior students study the IBDP.
Head of school Adrian Watts said:
"We try to make our programmes as inclusive as possible as this allows students to challenge themselves and be the best they can be. Again this year we have great stories of students who did not expect to pass their IB Diploma, surprising not only their teachers but also themselves."
50 years of the IB
2018 was a good year for IB in Vietnam, and the 50th year of the IB was not a bad one for the International Baccalaureate programme either. Today there are over 1.7 million learners worldwide - more than at any other time in the programme's history.
IB Chief Assessment Officer Paula Wilcock, said: "As we celebrate our 50th year I look forward to continuing to ensure that our assessments measure what is important, and continue to evolve with our rapidly changing world".

The benefits of putting an end to the opioid crisis exceeded $95 billion in 2016 underscoring the importance of swift investment in evidence-based interventions.
The largest contributor to the current economic burden of this crisis —$43.2 billion— is the economic impact from loss of life due to overdoses. In 2016 alone, the number of overdose deaths reached 53,054, placing this in the top ten leading causes of death in the United States. An additional $12.4 billion economic burden is due to loss of productivity from non-fatal use, which also contributes to the $24.6 billion in health care services for all those who suffer from opioid dependencies. Government services foot some $18.3 billion borne by the criminal justice system ($7.8b), child and family assistance services ($6.1b) and education costs ($4.4b).
A relatively small amount is currently spent on opioid prevention and treatment efforts. Increasing that amount could reduce the number of overdose fatalities and yield substantial benefits to the public and private sectors.
This new figure is the most recent estimate of the total economic benefit that would accrue to the nation if this crisis was ended, and shows that failure to invest in action to stop the crisis continues to take a toll on the broader economy and state and local government. The federal government alone assumed $29.2 billion of the costs associated with the crisis, primarily in the form of lost tax revenue, health care costs, and criminal justice-related costs. But the heaviest burden is shouldered by the private sector because of the loss of potential workers, loss of productivity from current workers, and the net economic benefit that accrues from productive citizens.
This analysis does not take into account the emotional cost of the opioid crisis to communities and families. It does not look at decreased quality of life, emotional burdens of substance use and the loss of loved ones, decreased property values, the impacts on children of parents facing opioid addiction. Nor does it include an estimate of the overall cost of a life. As a result, the total societal burden is underestimated and, consequently, the net benefit to the United States of ending the opioid crisis is likely well in excess of $100 billion.
Additionally, preliminary data on the scale of the epidemic in 2017 indicate deaths, overdoses, and associated costs are unfortunately likely to rise above 2016 levels, pushing this estimate even higher.

John Colt Trial: 1842
A Strange "confession"
The final courtroom commotion began when defense attorney Robert Emmett read aloud a long, detailed statement written by Colt. According to this "confession," Adams had come to Colt's office, where a dispute erupted over a bill. The two men came to blows when Adams called Colt a liar. When Adams began choking him, Colt grabbed what he thought was a hammer and hit Adams on the head. The implement turned out to be the hatchet, which inflicted a fatal wound. After cleaning up a substantial amount of blood, Colt tried to clear his mind with a walk in a nearby park. To avoid the disgrace of a public trial, he packed the corpse, disposed of his bloody clothing in a privy, and went home.
Emmett argued that the marks on Colt's neck confirmed that Adams had tried to strangle Colt. If so, this was a case of justifiable homicide, not a planned murder. Emmett added that the efficiency with which Colt had disposed of the body should not be held against him as evidence of premeditation. Prosecutors accused Colt of killing Adams in the office for the isolation it provided and questioned why an innocent man would deliberate for hours over how to dispose of a dead body. Prosecutor Whiting testily defended his handling of the indictment, denying defense implications that he was pressing the case for political gain.
In his charge, Judge Kent told the jury that both victim and prisoner were men of good character, although "excitable." The judge asked the jury to weigh evidence of a motive or premeditation. The "confession" read by Robert Emmett was hypothetical and not evidence, instructed the judge. As such, it was irrelevant to final deliberations. On January 31, thousands of people waiting outside the courthouse learned the verdict was guilty. When the New York State Supreme Court denied Colt's final appeal on September 28, Judge Kent sentenced him to hang.
At noon on November 18, 1842, the day of his scheduled execution, Colt and Caroline Henshaw were married in his cell, surrounded by Samuel Colt and a few friends. Jailers returned at 3:55 to take the condemned man to the scaffold. They found Colt's bloody corpse on his bed. One of his final visitors had apparently slipped him a pocketknife, with which he had stabbed himself in the heart. A fire broke out in the jail at the same moment the body was found. The suspicious flames fueled abundant rumors that Colt's prominent friends had been plotting his escape.
Colt's suicide was not the final chapter in the case. Many observers surmised that Caroline Henshaw had been Samuel Colt's mistress and that the son she bore was Samuel's, not John's, child. The irony that John Colt had taken in his brother's spurned pregnant mistress as an act of kindness was yet one more indication to Colt's supporters that Adams' death had been a tragic accident for which a flawed but basically good man had been condemned.
