Frustrated Comments on Posts Don't Carry Over When You Share

Janine Marriott Feeling really frustrated that comments on posts don't carry over and filter through when you share :((

But.... there is a work around, to copy and paste the links from the comments into your private community library. I've just done it and I'm so excited! Very sad but also very true!

Scholarly Publication and Copyright in Network Electronic Publishing

by Gasaway, Laura N. Director of the Law Library and Professor of Law at the University of North California at Chapel Hill

The publication of scholarly works in a networked electronic environment presents many opportunities for solving some of the problems currently exist in the print world. At the same time, copyright law, a form of legal protection developed primarily for printed works, has been used to create stumbling blocks both for faculty authors and their institutions. This has occured because publisher as a quid pro quo for getting the work published. New models of copyright ownership and management can be developed for electronic publishing of scholarly works and research results that will greater control to the faculty author, ease to the distribution and permissions process for the use of copyright works in teaching and research, and ultimately will reduced costs to universities which currently must repurchase faculty-produced from commercial publishers.

MIND MUSEUM: Jewel Caterpillars are the Nudibranchs of the Forest


Jewel Caterpillars are the Nudibranchs of the Forest
These caterpillars "belong to the Dalceridae family of moths, of which there are 84 species found all over North and South America. Sometimes referred to as ‘slug caterpillars,’ because of their fat bodies and gooey appearance, the larvae of these moths are some of the most striking insects you’ll see anywhere in the world."http://buff.ly/TTSwiC

WING LADY ADVENTURES IS A PARTICIPANT











Lakbay-Aral (Scholarship) With Jun V. Redor

Thank you so much, Rolando "Jun" V. Redor, for enlightening me on the etymology and the Filipino translation of the word "scholar.”

"Scholar" comes from the Greek word "schole," meaning "a leisurely walk or stroll given to learning” --- An apt Filipino term would then be "lakbay-aral." Well, that's the true spirit of scholarship: a continuous journey to discovery and learning, and never a finished destination. Read the conversation in this Facebook post.

My lifelong learning desire

is to be a scholar of many fields and my interaction with you at Sonolux Asia in the 90s

opened up for me the fields of “Philippine Sociology, History, Cinema” and many more, as areas of scholarship that I have pursued (in varying stages of exploration) even long after our status as co-workers has ceased.

My gratitude to you

Many days, I think about more opportunities to do scholarly work (and play) with you and now that I am with

University of Santo Tomas: The Catholic University of the Philippines,


it is imperative for me to study things Catholic and things Filipino.

Jun Redor's note to Rom Cumagun
Your invitation:

may I invite you some time to visit my town Tayabas. Let's have a stroll on culture and history through heritage walks and an experience of local rituals: hambuhan, awitan, igbahan, suob, mayohan, hagisan, pasintabi...... Then you'll find yourself becoming a "co-scholar" of LIFE itself, and simply immersed into ordinary people's life stories.

is an advice on the scholarship method, to which I agree is the best way to go about learning Tayabas.

It is also a challenge of "living the Tayabas learning" which I know and feel is worth taking.

Doing it with you, a full-blooded Tayabas scholar, makes the work even more motivating.
Thank you for inviting; I accept your invitation.

Wishing you prosperity and long life in Tayabas and Asian Social Institute!


THANK YOU MY DEAR FRIEND, I CONTINUE TO LEARN WITH YOU!

Learning With Marieziel San Pedro

Stills from the movie The Horse Whisperer StarringRobert Redford and Kristin Scott Thomas 


I know it's fictional..... but whatever... I like the movie. Period.

Rom Cumagun I am glad you find John Nash beautiful and inspiring and have in fact salute him. Cinema should be grateful that Ron Howard chose Russell Crowe - USA to perform the lead role and Jennifer Connelly , the support, because we have come to know the main character as someone loveable.

I can not take for granted though that you might mistake that what you have seen was a work of non-fiction because I must remind you that in cinema, A Beautiful Mindis still a work of fiction in the same vein as The Bridges Of Madison County.

This is not to invalidate the inspired feelings the film has elicited from you; in fact I clarify the distinction so that you may fully appreciate the effect of cinema as dramatic art and not as biographic documentary.

Marieziel Cendana San Pedro Thanks for the reminder... I know it's fictional..... but whatever... I like the movie. Period.



Rom Cumagun Good to know that you know that the movie you have liked unconditionally is fictional. Before I rest my point I would like to suggest that you complement film viewing with reading biography of John Nash, the mathematician. A good starting point is Wikipedia wherein you can co-writehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Forbes_Nash,_Jr.

Rom Cumagun What is the possibility of this post's privacy setting changed from "friends only to public"? I would like to invite you to the great pedagogic possibility of you expressing publicly, your thumbs up of this highly commendable movie.

There may be other bloggers, who like me wish to learn from your world view.


Done.... public. Thanks for finding interest in my posts.
pwedeng default mo is friends only and then set particular posts to public

yes. ok.

Breakfast With Tin's Adopted White Stray Kitten

Breakfast of hot bread of salt "pandesal," white cheese & coffee - with (daughter) Christine Marie Cumagun, (best friend and wife) Pelagia Milado-Cumagun and Tin's adopted white stray kitten June 30, 2014 Marikina City, Philippines

Breakfast with new members of the family are worth remembering.


This morning of June 30th, 2014, breakfast was in celebration of a new addition to our wildlife family.


Christine Marie Milado-Cumagun or Tin-tin, my 1st daughter, whose friend couldn't take care of a stray kitten, volunteered to adopt and bring home her friend's stray white kitten last night.

Although this is over and above the other kittens that are already at home with us, the soft spot in my wild heart, after seeing how vulnerable the kitten is, decided to go along with the project of taking care of another wild life in the family.



Luckily, my best friend and wife, Pelagia "Pet" Cumagun,

came home last night from a training session in Tagaytay
and she brought "pasalubong" (take-home native food) of "kesong puti" (white cheese)
which we all partook for breakfast.

Aside from dining together was the opportune time to discuss matters of wild emotions and wild ideas in addition to the subject (literally on the table) which is wild life:

1.

Pet's excitement of Tacloban City government plans for rehabilitating Typhoon Yolanda victims in connection with her work with Center for Community Transformation;

2.

Tin's recent team-building  activity;

3.

My teaching appointment at University of Santo Tomas consisting of Advertising Practice   (Concept Development) and Natural Science (Earth & Life Science)


I was hoping our regular visitor, the black cat would drop in for  the meal but it wasn't around.



Dead moths, strewn in the garden doesn't normally fit in the ambiance of a pleasant breakfast but in this particular one, when Nature is the ambiance and Science is the conversation, it was picture perfect.

Teachable moment for my daughter, too, was this breakfast; I had the chance to practice correcting my daughter's conclusion that the cats had lepideptora for breakfast as they did with the rodents.

Photo taken today.
Photo taken days earlier.
I told her that moths have a short life span and that their job as pollinators are over; so is their life. We have had breakfasts of similar conversation but I must say, this breakfast with Tin's adopted white stray kitten, has been breaking of bread with the white cheese of learning as its butter.
