Busking for a cause: Baguio group performs for Ompong survivors
BAGUIO CITY-- Musicians performed along Session Road to raise funds for the hospital expenses of survivors of typhoon Ompong (Mangkhut), which ravaged northern Luzon over the weekend. The event, aptly called "Binnadang," the Ibaloi word for "bayanihan," encouraged artists to join the relief efforts by showcasing their talents through busking. "It's an organic movement. Just had the idea since we are a UNESCO creative city. Busking is widely accepted overseas, especially in Europe. Since we have the talent, might as well use it for good," Binnadang organizer Richard Dean Basa told ABS-CBN News. Baguio hailed as a UNESCO 'creative city' In the spirit of "carrying each other's burden," Basa called on other creatives to join their performance. "Anyone can join. No one is paid to perform anyway. It's our bit of help as artists for our beloved brethren in the most need," he explained. The 3-day event, held from September 19 to September 21, collected more than P25,000 (as of … [Read more...] about Busking for a cause: Baguio group performs for Ompong survivors
Three huge new studies of more than half a million people are casting major doubts on the keto diet
Low-carb diets like the ketogenic diet are popular strategies for rapid weight loss and appetite control. Keto diets require eaters to essentially forgo all carbohydrates, and fuel up on fats and more limited amounts of proteins instead. Because sugar is a carb, many keto dieters drastically reduce their sugar intake on the diet, but they eliminate healthier carbs too. Nutritionists are starting to notice that people who live the longest tend to incorporate more plant-based foods into their diets, which include some fibre-rich carbs. It’s another reminder that focusing on healthy, plant-based, whole foods is a better long-term strategy than dieting. Scientists and dietitians are starting to agree on the recipe for a long, healthy life. It’s not sexy, and it doesn’t involve fancy pills or pricey diet potions. Fill your plate with plants. Include vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and legumes. Don’t include a lot of meat, milk, or highly-processed … [Read more...] about Three huge new studies of more than half a million people are casting major doubts on the keto diet
Apple tight-lipped on removal of Freedom and other content-blocking apps
For people trying to avoid online distractions on their smartphones and computers, a service called Freedom has offered the ability to block certain websites and apps at certain times. Users of the Durham, North Carolina, company’s desktop and smartphone apps or browser extensions can choose to block Facebook during business hours, filter out YouTube after dinner, or lock out the entire internet during a busy workday. But late last month, the company announced that the app had been removed from the iOS App Store, under Apple policies that limit how apps can filter content in other apps. Freedom’s iOS app used the platform’s support for virtual private network technology to block access to internet addresses associated with particular apps. For instance, the app could block connections to facebook.com from the Facebook app or Safari, or it could block addresses used by streaming platforms to serve up content. Unlike traditional VPNs that protect privacy by routing … [Read more...] about Apple tight-lipped on removal of Freedom and other content-blocking apps
