Catalyzed by the ongoing pandemic, educational institutions, teachers, students, and parents are forced to adapt to a new norm. </p><p>Unfortunately, this change poses a big challenge for everyone. Many schools simply do not have the existing systems, infrastructure, expertise, time, and budget to transition towards online learning. The same can be said with parents and students who are already struggling financially.</p><p>Unifinity seeks to ease this transition by offering a fully functional and integrated “Virtual Academy” for schools, universities, training centers, and any other learning institutions. It is the first education management system powered by blockchain and smart contracts, making it one of the most advanced educational apps out in the market today. </p><p>With its minimalistic cost-saving approach, Parents and students will be happy to know that no additional equipment is required to use Unifinity’s Virtual Academy. It is 100% mobile device friendly, allowing them to use their existing smartphone to participate in the virtual classes. Virtual classrooms were carefully designed to give the students a simple yet useful user interface, minimizing the time required to learn the platform. To help defray the cost of online learning of students and provide an alternative source of funding Unifinity integrated a blockchain-enhanced performance rewards mechanism.</p><p>Ms. Veronica Andrino, the founder, and CEO at Unifinity calls this mechanism EdTech 2.0— Tokenization and Gamification of the Education System©. It is one of the many features of the platform that utilizes blockchain technology and smart contracts making them secure, irreversible, and immutable. This provides teachers a more accurate and efficient way to monitor students’ performance and subsequently reward them, keeping them interested and engaged. The smart contract automates the recording of scores and activities and distributes rewards based on the criteria set by the teacher.</p><p>Additionally, Unifinity offers blockchain-based identity verification and certificate issuance. It also offers a direct payment gateway that supports fiat and virtual currency conversions. With all these powerful features, combined with ease of use and superb after-sales support, it is strongly positioned to take the lion’s share of the remote learning market. Without a doubt, it is one of the most sophisticated online learning systems that has graced our pages for a very long time. </p><div><br /></div>curlydiannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01282029035130305035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189041527912513742.post-39117632881188147342018-09-25T06:01:00.001+08:002018-09-25T06:01:40.068+08:00Sharon Cuneta at #PLDTGabayGuro 2018<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A5tbdwVPpIg" width="459"></iframe>curlydiannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01282029035130305035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189041527912513742.post-64516849324843417002018-09-25T05:20:00.001+08:002018-09-25T05:20:23.785+08:00The Tasting Corner<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/TDcAO6W-bJQ" width="480"></iframe>curlydiannehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01282029035130305035noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4189041527912513742.post-32423195047921237552018-07-16T17:25:00.000+08:002018-09-07T17:26:35.559+08:00PRRC and LIAC relocate more ISFs in Estero de Magdalena to Cavite<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to PRRC Executive Director Jose Antonio "Pepeton" E. Goitia, up to 40 families would be initially transferred to the relocation site in Trece Martires, Cavite. While the remaining 60 families were scheduled to move on July 10 to their new houses in Summer Home, Trece Martires, Cavite.</div>

<br />
The Pasig River Rehabilitation Commission (PRRC), in collaboration with the Local Inter-Agency Committee of Manila, relocated more informal settler families (ISFs) along the stretch of Estero de Magdalena, Manila today, July 3.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Goitia said that before the relocation, the families were accompanied and assisted by PRRC in various community dialogues and ocular inspections as part of their social preparation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They were also provided with 40 trucks and vans as they move to the relocation site. The Department of Social Welfare and Development – Manila likewise provided each family with food supplies such as rice, canned goods and coffee.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other entitlements included livelihood assistance and disaster preparedness training.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From November 2015 to September 2017, PRRC already transferred 1,009 ISFs out of the target 2,015 to various relocation sites in Bulacan.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Goitia said it was important for the ISFs to leave the estero because they had been long exposed to the dangers of leptospirosis, diarrhea and other waterborne diseases.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition, they caused heavy pollution of Estero de Magdalena, which flows to the Pasig River, that no amount of cleanup operations solved the garbage problem in the area; hence, the relocation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It was only last June 13, 2018 that the PRRC conducted a massive clean-up operation with the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA), local government unit of Manila and several ISFs in Estero de Magdalena to prevent the flooding in the area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"So these ISFs really must be relocated because they are also causing the mountains of garbage here," Goitia said.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once all the ISFs are removed, the PRRC can already begin the construction of the linear park along the estero as it did in Estero de Pandacan, Estero de Paco, Maytunas Creek, Estero de San Miguel and many other once-polluted waterways. The government allotted P 17 million for the rehabilitation of Estero de Magdalena into an environmental protected area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Furthermore, the PRRC and MMDA jointly dismantled their informal settlements with consent from the families to ensure that they would not return to Estero de Magdalena. Trece Martires Mayor Melandres G. De Sagun welcomed the families in Cavite and ensured that their houses were in good condition, and accessible to important facilities like hospital and school.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Homeowners at the Ayala Alabang village joined a growing number of
upscale subdivisions supportive of Globe Telecom’s bid to provide tailor-fit
solutions that would significantly enhance connectivity in posh villages amid
growing popularity of bandwidth-intensive devices.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The telecommunications provider started to address clamor for
improved mobile coverage in Ayala Alabang in 2011 by investing significant
capital expenditure to install additional cell sites and improve connectivity
within the village. Ayala Alabang currently houses three Globe cell sites.
<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.5pt;">Given the size of the village, seven to eight more cell sites are
needed to further enhance connectivity inside the village, said Emmanuel
Estrada, Globe Head of Network Technologies Strategy.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“There are approximately 4,000 houses constructed of high grade
materials and almost 30,000 residents inside the village. Households situated
farther from base stations could experience poor mobile coverage as cellular
signal and quality diminish with distance. In addition, there are about
9,000 full-grown trees that could pose a challenge to providing deep indoor
coverage for our customers in the area,” Estrada said.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">He further noted that mobile data explosion amid growing access to
internet connectivity, which requires more bandwidth than traditional voice and
text messaging services, demands the establishment of more cell sites to ensure
and deliver superior mobile data services especially indoors. In that way, customers can access popular social
networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter on their smartphones in the
comfort of their homes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">To squarely address subscriber requirement for higher bandwidth
capacity, Globe is ready to implement tailor-fit solutions that would boost
cellular coverage that would benefit the entire AAVA community, Estrada said.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Such solutions include the use of outdoor distributed antenna
system (ODAS), which makes use of a specialized lamp posts built with radio
signal transmission capability, as well as the use of cell sites disguised as
palm trees or other aesthetically designed cell sites to blend with the
surrounding areas such as those deployed in Urdaneta Village in Makati. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Exclusive villages that have approved or shown openness in
allowing the installation of cell sites within their communities include
Dasmarinas, Urdaneta, Bel-Air, San Lorenzo and Forbes Park. In Dasmarinas
Village in Makati, homeowners allowed the installation of ODAS in the upscale
subdivision. The ODAS technology is a network of small cell sites, instead of

<span id="yui_3_13_0_ym1_1_1390204591217_6932" style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Produced by Star Cinema and directed by Dado Lumibao, “Must Be Love” is the first solo film of the teen tandem where they were cast in a leading role, following their appearances as part of star-studded casts in “24/7 in Love” and “Sisterakas”. It was shot in different locations around the Philippines, including Cebu and Laguna—and was even taken abroad to Berlin, Germany.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv5018058634MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 12pt; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The film tells the story of two childhood friends, Patricia (Kathryn Bernardo) and Ivan (Daniel Padilla). Growing up together and discovering the changes that come with age, different possibilities open up for the two.</span></span></div>
<div class="yiv5018058634MsoNormal" style="background-color: white; font-size: 13px; margin-bottom: 12pt; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As they get older, Patricia begins to realize that she has feelings for her best friend, but begins to question if he feels the same way. Things get even more complicated when her cousin Angel (Liza Soberano) comes into the picture—and Ivan starts to show interest in a different girl instead.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">With the two teen actors in the leading roles, “Must Be Love” served as a benchmark for the two. It even served as a platform for Daniel Padilla’s hit song “Nasa Iyo Na Ang Lahat,” which was the film’s theme song, to skyrocket to the top of the music hit charts.</span></span></div>

Writer Jennifer Dugena of the website said, “It is also a perfect teen movie recommended not just for KathNiel fans but also for adults… ‘Must Be Love’ is a rare film that is cute and light as much as it is serious and heavy.”</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">John Lloyd Cruz and Toni Gonzaga are currently thinking about taking things steps further when it comes to steady relationships, as the two stars of the newest hit sitcom “Home Sweetie Home” admitted in a recent interview.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Following two successful weeks of making it to the number one spot in Sunday television ratings, they have become humbly grateful and hopeful for things to come.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Toni, when asked what’s up next after the experiences she has had so far while taping “Home Sweetie Home” said that the love story of her character Julie and John Lloyd’s character Romeo are set to take on whole new heights.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“I think they will head eventually to a marriage in Church,” Toni said. “That’s why they’re saving up.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“Home Sweetie Home,” however, doesn’t end at the topic of marriage. John Lloyd and Toni also expressed what they hope the show will become—a time for families to spend time together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“We’re hoping the show becomes a Sunday viewing habit for Filipino families,” John Lloyd Said. Toni added, “After all, Sunday is family day.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This Sunday (January 19), catch Romeo and Julie as they start to settle down into married life. Of course, starting to live together, they discover new things about each other. Julie ends up finding a box with Romeo’s name on it that he had kept from even before the two met. Could Romeo be hiding something from Julie, even at the very start of their lives together?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Meanwhile, another romantic secret on another of the Kapamilya Network’s Sunday shows is about to be revealed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On the teen series “LUV U,” Camille (Miles Ocampo) and JB (Marco Gumabao) have yet to tell the other students about the real status of what’s going on between them. With how connected everyone is to each other these days, can they go on without other people finding out?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Catch “Home Sweetie Home,” airing Sundays after the kiddie gag show “Goin’ Bulilit”, and “LUV U” after “ASAP 19”. Make your weekends complete with “Banana Split: Extra Scoop” on Saturdays after “Maalaala Mo Kaya”.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Adidas introduces the miCoach SMART RUN, the most advanced and intuitive wrist based running device on the market. For the first time, runners will be able to track their runs using GPS mapping, monitor their heart rate off their wrist, listen to their favorite music and get real-time coaching in a single, simple, color touch screen running watch.<br />
<br />
“By combining the latest innovations, such as the Mio Wrist Based Continuous Heart Rate Technology, design and ease of use navigation, we consciously defied the rules that define other running watches,” said Simon Drabble, director of miCoach at adidas.<br />
<br />
As SMART RUN uses optical technology to track your heart rate from your wrist, there are no cables, straps and additional sensors with this unique all-in-one device. A built-in accelerometer counts every step so you can monitor your stride rate. GPS tracks your speed, distance and logs your route and an MP3 player with Bluetooth® wireless audio delivers music and audible coaching guidance, eliminating the need for head phone cables and music players.<br />
<br />
“But it’s not just that which sets us apart from the competition. As part of the miCoach training system, it truly unlocks the runner’s full potential by making smart training easy and accessible. Whether you’re starting a new running program, training for a 10k or competing in another marathon, miCoach SMART RUN will make your training more efficient so you get the results you want,” continued Drabble.<br />
<br />
Interval (or zone) training is the best way to improve strength, speed and endurance. The miCoach system is founded on this concept with four colored zones – blue, green, yellow and red. SMART RUN uses these zones to coach you throughout your workout. Guidance comes in various forms including vibration, through the 1.45” color touch screen display and, if you are using a Bluetooth headset, the coach will tell you to speed up or slow down.<br />
<br />
Drabble continued, “Many runners fail to get the most out of their current running watches. Building training plans, transferring workouts and personalizing display information is cumbersome with these devices. With SMART RUN we change this. It is fully integrated with our web platform so training plans, completed workouts and settings are synced seamlessly over WLAN.”<br />
<br />
“The completeness and simplicity of Smart Run is astounding.” Terrence Mahon, Lead Endurance Coach, UK Athletics Federation said. “The visual and audible guidance for interval training is a leap forward from any other watch available. Another aspect that is often overlooked by runners is how important strength and flexibility workouts are in realizing performance gain and reducing injuries. To have this guidance on the watch too is truly groundbreaking.”<br />
<br />
Unrivaled in innovation and feature-set, the miCoach SMART RUN is completed with premium design language and fine styling, including athletic lines, stainless steel trim, high performance guerrilla glass and magnesium.<br />
<br />
The miCoach SMART RUN is available for purchase exclusively at the adidas eShop (shop.adidas.com.ph) at a retail price of PHP 19,995 from 1st December 2013.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Houston Rockets and Indiana Pacers are excited about their upcoming trip to Manila for the NBA Global Games Philippines 2013 on October 10.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“<i>There has been a lot of talk about the Filipino passion for basketball from those who have visited and played the game over there. We can’t wait to experience it first-hand</i>,” says Houston Rockets head coach Kevin McHale. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">“<i>We’re just excited to come over to play the game and give Filipinos a great show. I’m excited and happy to be back in Manila and see familiar faces. Fan base is amazing over in the Philippines. The crowd is unbelievable</i>,” says James Harden, the Houston Rockets shooting guard who was last here for NBA 3X in July.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">No active Indiana Pacers player has ever come to the Philippines before, but former Pacers Sam Perkins who arrived in Manila for the 100 Days Countdown of the NBA Global Games in early July was just as ecstatic about Filipino cage fans’ NBA IQ and enthusiasm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Rockets-Pacers game continues the interesting private rivalry between Houston and Indiana. Although the Indiana Pacers have enjoyed recent success against the Rockets – including winning seven of the last nine games in the series – Houston still leads the all-time series, 48-33. The Pacers, however, swept the season series against Houtson in 2012-13, running their winning streak against the Rockets to four straight.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Perhaps no Pacers player has been as instrumental as Roy Hibbert to Indiana’s current success against the Rockets. Hibbert averaged 20.0 points, 11.0 rebounds and 3.0 blocks last season against Houston, while playing only 30.5 mpg. Since the Pacers acquired Hibbert in a Draft Day trade in 2008, he has faced the Rockets eight times, averaging 15.1 points, 8.5 rebounds and 2.6 blocks; the Pacers are 6-2 in those contests. With Hibbert anchoring Indiana’s defense last season, the Pacers held Houston, which ranked second overall in scoring (106.0 ppg) to 93.0 ppg.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In the teams’ first meeting last season, on Jan. 18, Hibbert scored 12 points on an efficient 6-of-12 from the field, to go along with nine rebounds and three blocks, in a 105-95 victory, as the Pacers won at home for the 11th straight time. All-Star Paul George provided most of the offense by scoring a game-high 31 points. Again, however, it was Indiana’s air-tight defense that proved the difference. With George on the perimeter and Hibbert protecting the rim, the Pacers limited All-Star James Harden to 17 points on 5-of-19 shooting. Harden had entered the game riding a career-best streak of 22 straight games with at least 20 points.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But this is a new season, and a whole different ball game.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Manila, September 15th, 2013: adidas has launched its first Southeast Asia campaign for women, all in for #mygirls. The first phase themed around the girls’ love for dance highlighted the shared passion of dance between girls in Southeast Asia who rely on their peers and communities as a source of strength and play an instrumental role in inspiring each other to go all in. </span></div>

The stylish yet comfortable Techfit, CIimalite and Yoga apparel, coupled with the sporty adiPURE and Climacool footwear brought out the sassy and exuberant dancer in the girls.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Wall climbing is an uber popular indoor sport that is attracting fitness buffs and thrill seekers. Its ability to boost metabolism, strengthen the core, tone muscles and provide a certified high makes it an irresistible attraction.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The sport isn’t all that new – the first wall was created in the UK in 1964 – but wall climbing is a modern hit – in parks, schools, fairs and amusement parks.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Exactly what benefits does wall climbing deliver? </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. <b>Wall climbing burns a lot of calories.</b> Even moderate wall climbing can make you lose 400 to 600 calories in just an hour. This is because the sport maximizes the use of muscles in your legs, arms, chest, back and core. Think of how many more calories you can burn when you go extreme!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. <b>It promotes cardiovascular health.</b> The wall climbing work out gets your heart pumping -- not only because you get an adrenaline rush when you go up the rocks. The amount of strength you use to pull your body weight up lets your heart and organs deliver blood vigorously and deepen your breathing. The cardio vascular benefits from climbing improves metabolism, reduces the risk of heart disease and osteoporosis. It also gives you more energy and lets you sleep better.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. <b>It tones muscles and improves flexibility. </b>As you climb and defy gravity, the leg muscles – particularly the hamstring and quadriceps -- harden to support body weight and maintain their flexibility to reach the next foothold. Climbing requires ab/core involvement which tones the tummy, one of the most stubborn areas where fat builds up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> 4. <b>It exercises your mind. </b> Climbing involves problem solving, focus and strategy as you plan your route upwards. It requires a high level of mind and body coordination to respond to the task at hand. The basic challenge of wall climbing is to concentrate on finishing while conquering numerous difficulties. Wall climbing can make you sharp. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. <b>It gives you a sense of accomplishment.</b> Whether you’re overcoming your fear of heights, working your muscles or navigating your way along the footholds, reaching the top of the wall always provides a sense of fulfillment. That exhilarating thrill of pushing yourself beyond your limits and winning over your limitations provides a sense of triumph that makes you feel victorious.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Memories make for a good life. At the end of the day, what makes our lives worthwhile are the moments we spend with those closest to our hearts. What keeps us going through life’s lows are treasured moments,which are essential in lessening the effects of daily stress.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, in today’s busy world, we hardly have time to sit down and relish memories from our childhood. Our minds are often abuzz with deadlines to meet, workouts to accomplish, and parties to go to; walking down memory lane is not on top of the list of things we have the luxury to do.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But without it, our lives become boring. Our zest for life is often energized by remembering the good times from the past and from it, renewed by the thought that these days can happen again in the future. Reliving memories often begin with a trigger: a scent, a place, a toy, or even a treat from our younger years.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Nestea Ready to Drink (RTD), everyone’s favorite drink from the 90s, definitely triggers a lot of fun memories of that decade. While there were many fashion, food, and fun items that are best left forgotten, many of us who grew up taking the plunge with Nestea would be delighted to know that Nestea RTD is making a comeback.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Conveniently packed in an easy-to-bring bottle, Nestea RTD is the perfect partner for going down memory lane. Its sweet taste reminds us of days spent playing with our friends, and mimicking its famous commercial. Both new and old fans will be excited to relish old memories with its Lemon flavor while at the same time making new ones with Nestea RTD’s latest offerings: Lemon Ice and Apple.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So the next time you feel stressed, simply take a bottle of Nestea RTD and bask in the taste the sweetness of a thousand familiar memories. </div>
