Past as Titan Arum

In the summer of 2006 Josh Kopelen met Louis Davis and Justus Ramos, two brothers who were looking to start a band. After a few weeks of practicing with them, Josh introduced them to Dusty, a friend of his who had been trying to start a band with Josh for years. Dusty joined the band on bass guitar and the band was formed with it's first full lineup, going by the name Titan Arum. Dusty was then later removed from the band for a few different reasons. Louis continued singing and filled in the bass parts. Later, when the band decided they wanted a second guitarist, Dusty came back to fill the opening. His brother, Steven, then joined the band to take over bass parts. After a few weeks of playing shows and recording their first e.p., titled "Unscene", Louis left the band to return to Virginia. For a while, everyone decided to call it quits and try to move on to something else.

Starting THIM

Then, in early 2007, the four remaining members decided they weren't ready to quit that easily. After going through a few singer auditions, Wack John, who was a friend of the band already, came by to audition. At that point, it was immediately apparent that he was to be their singer. After writing a few new songs and playing a totally new style, the band felt they should change the name, as they had grown to something more than Titan Arum. It was suggested that the band be called This Hatred is Mutual, the name of Josh and Dusty's former attempt at a band. After some debate and a vote they decided to keep the name.

Present/Future Plans

Now, the band has started playing shows again with new material and new fans. Their first demo, which is still untitled, will be released March 31, 2007. Things are looking good for this band, are they are quickly gaining popularity and growing more and more as a band, and as friends. Keep on the lookout for these guys, as great things are expected.

Genuine Wealth

Bold textA model developed by Canadian economist Mark Anielski for measuring the conditions of well-being that are true to our core values of life. Comprised of two words Genuine (meaning to be true to one's values) and Wealth (which originates from two Old English words weal (well-being) and th (the conditions), hence the true meaning of wealth is “the conditions of well-being,” synonymous with happiness.)

The Genuine Wealth model has been used by communities, corporations and governments to measure the conditions of well-being of a community or organization in accordance to its values.

The Genuine Wealth Assessment is a tool for measuring the overall well-being of an organization or community using happiness and quality of life surveys combined with an inventory of the perceptions and statistical conditions of the five capitals (human, social, natural, built and financial) which comprise an enterprise, organization or community.

As part of the model the Genuine Wealth Balance Sheet is an accounting framework which reveals the physical, qualitative and monetary (full costs or benefits) conditions of the five capitals (human, social, natural, built and financial capital) of an enterprise, organization, community or nation. The GW balance sheet provides a comprehensive well-being profile that shows community or organizational assets (strengths), liabilities (weaknesses) and equity (distribution and fairness).

CADIS internet service provider - SKOPJE, Cable Television, CTV

CADIS припаѓа на групацијата наши фирми кои имаат долгогодишно искуство во изградба на Кабелски Дистрибутивни Системи како и Мрежни комуникации. Повеќе години имаме сопствени Кабелски Телевизиски Мрежи на неколку места во Македонија, Србија и Бугарија, како и искуство во производство и монтажа на сателитска опрема.

         Во Скопје Наши фирми се „CADIS“, и „Cable Fox“. CADIS има добиено Концесија за изградба на кабелска телевизиска мрежа и дистрибуција на ТВ и радио програми на подрачјето на Скопје-Центар, а CABLE FOX има добиено концесија за изградба на кабелска телевизиска мрежа и дистрибуција на ТВ и радио програми на подрачјето на Скопје - Ново Лисиче и населбата Лисиче

         Со развивање на технологијата, полека но сигурно, Интернетот започнува да влегува во секојдневниот живот. Во секој дом. Во секое семејство. При тоа, овозможувајќи на корисниците пристап до бескрајната ризница на информации од најразлични области.

         Денес, навистина е тешко да се замисли животот без „Мрежата на сите мрежи“. Интернетот се користи како медиум преку кој се пренесуваат од најобични е-маил пораки, до разменување на знаења, искуства, информации, потоа пренесување на аудио и видео содржини, музика, филмови фотографии, телефонија, презентација на свои производи и услуги и информирање за други производи и услуги, размена на програми, играње и што ли уште не.

         Согледувајќи ги огромните потенцијали на интернетот од една страна и законските решенија од друга страна, со кои од неодамна, се либерализира пазарот на интернет и други телекомуникациски услуги во Македонија, Нашата фирма се одлучи за изградаба на Електронска Комуникациска Мрежа. И тоа, најнапред во Скопје, а потоа, во план е проширување и во други градови во Република Македонија.

         НОВО е тоа што за прв пат во Македонија CADIS не нуди само „обичен“ интернет туку многу повеќе од тоа. Нашата инфраструктура овозможува директна (и многу поевтина) комуникација помеѓу сите корисници кои се приклучени на CADIS мрежата со брзини (bandwidth) кои се многу поголеми од брзината за која е претплатен на т.н. Меѓународен Интернет.

         Преку нашата Електронска Комуникациска Мрежа на корисниците им даваме можност освен за ИНТЕРНЕТ сообраќај и за ИНТРАНЕТ сообраќај.

         Исто така, секој корисник на нашата мрежа добива Јавна Статичка IP-адреса за разлика од другите интернет провајдери во Македонија кои нудат динамички (променливи) IP-адреси кои се менуваат секој пат кога ке се вклучите во мрежата, или на однапред определено време. (на пример, Телеком ги менува IP-адресите на АДСЛ корисниците на секои 12 часа). Предноста за корисниците на Статички Јавни IP-адреси е голема (при монтирање на свој сопствен сервер, мрежно играње, IP-телефонија, видео конференција и т.н.). За добивање на статичка Јавна IP-адреса, на пример, Телеком ке ви наплати повеќе од 100 евра месечно.

         Друга голема придобивка при користење на нашата мрежа е тоа што брзината на Интернет и Интранет комуникацијата за сите корисници е СИМЕТРИЧНА! односно, колкава брзина е за „upload“, исто толкава е за „download“ Ова е уште една наша предност во однос на другите интернет провајдери во Македонија кои обично нудат брзина на „upload“ неколку пати поспора од брзината на „download“, со што, брзината со која двајца корисници ке комуницираат помеѓу себе е всушност ограничена на помалата.

         При приклучувањето на нашата мрежа, корисникот не треба да купува скап Кабелски Модем, туку доволно е да има обична LAN мрежна картичка, односно, LAN мрежен конектор кој го имаат сите понови компјутери на својата матична плоча.

         Нашата Електронска Комуникациска Мрежа ја градиме користејќи најмодерна, софистицирана опрема, администрирана од селектиран тим на специјализирани стручни лица кои, со своето знаење и искуство се гарант за успешно функционирање на целокупниот систем.

Air Power Institute

The Air Power Institute, stationed at Fernando Air Base, Lipa City, Batangas, Philippines, is the airpower doctrine center of the Philippine Air Force. As a PAF-wide Service Support Unit (PAFWSSU), the Institute is under the direct command and control of the Commanding General, PAF and under the functional supervision of the Assistant Chief of Air Staff for Plans, A-5.

Mission and Functions:

API is mandated “to develop doctrines and advance airpower for the Philippine Air Force”. Anent to this, it is tasked to perform the following functions:

• Formulate PAF air power doctrines; • Revise and update doctrine manuals, and existing air power doctrines; • Validate air power doctrines in coordination with concerned units; • Conduct activities for the advancement of Air Power • Publish doctrine manuals, Air Power Journal, and occasional papers; • Maintain links with other research institutions; • Operate and maintain the Air Power Knowledge Center; and • Manage the CG, PAF Research Fellow Program.

History

Doctrines have been the byword in the Armed Forces of the Philippines ever since the AFP Modernization Program was enacted into law in 1995. It was part and parcel of the Program's five interlocking components, namely: Force Restructuring and Organizational Development; Capability, Materiel and Technology Development; Bases/Support System Development; Human Resource Development; and Doctrines Development. The latter speaks of formulating realistic and integrated approaches for the generation, evaluation, consolidation and formalization of doctrines. It also sets the tasks to conduct periodic review of promulgated doctrines through the conduct of field application, testing and exercises. It also lays down the guidelines on how these doctrines shall be disseminated within the military hierarchy.

Realizing the tremendous role that doctrines play in the overall conduct of military operations and, eventually, in winning battles, the Commander-in-Chief herself, Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, had been vocal in her advocacy for the development of “modernized doctrines” for the AFP – experience-based and Filipino in character. In fact, she has set the initial direction, tone and tempo for doctrines development efforts when she delivered her remarks during the 66th AFP Anniversary on 21 December 2001. Thus, the Air Power Institute was established on 16 January 2002 by virtue of General Order Number 3, Headquarters, PAF dated 08 January 2002. It was initially placed under the command and control of the Commander, Air Education and Training Command along with the other PAF training institutions.

Seeing the crucial role that doctrines play in the conduct of military operations and the need to promote airpower advocacy, Lieutenant General Jose L. Reyes AFP, the Commanding General, PAF (07 July 2004 to 02 Feb 2007) placed the Institute under his direct command and control on 15 May 2005 by virtue of General Order Number --, HPAF dated ----. The Assistant Chief of Air Staff for Plans, A-5 was then given the task to take functional supervision over the said Institute.

Past and Present Commanding Officers:

• LTC CARLITO E BESORIO O-7318 PAF (GSC) January 16, 2002 – February 5, 2002 • COL ROLANDO F CAPACIA O-7293 PAF (JSC) February 5, 2002 – May 24, 2002 • LTC OSCAR V CALINGASAN O-109467 (GSC) May 24, 2002 – June 26, 2002 • COL AURELIO A MARQUEZ O-6612 PAF (JSC) June 26, 2002 – August 1, 2002 • LTC JEFFREY F DELGADO O-8591 PAF August 1, 2002 – April 14, 2003 • COL LINO HORACIO E LAPINID O-7553 PAF (GSC) April 14, 2003 – May 30, 2003 • COL SALVADOR G PEÑAFLOR O-6686 PAF (GSC) May 30, 2003 – September 5, 2003 • LTC EUGENIO R FERRER O-8521 PAF (GSC) September 5, 2003 – April 15, 2005 • COL JORGE E DE JESUS O-7989 PAF (GSC) April 15, 2005 – May 15, 2005 • 1LT JOSE ROMULO Y DILAG O- 12964 PAF May 15, 2005 – July 15, 2005 • LTC JOSELITO B RAMOS O-9876 PAF July 15, 2005 - present

Unit Seal and Its Description

File:Apiseal.JPG

The COLOR BLUE symbolizes the third dimension: the aeronautical space of the Philippines to which Air Power is projected. The lighter hue of the inner circle represents the Air Power’s aeronautical space; the darker hue of the inner circle represents the Air Power’s naval projection. The darker hue of the outer circle emphasizes the mission of the Air Power Institute: to develop doctrines for the advancement of Air Power.

The SILVER AIRFOIL being the most important part of any machine for air navigation that is supported in by air buoyancy or by dynamic change it depicts the air capability and strength of an Air Force.

The THREE STARS represents the three major island of the Philippine Archipelago: Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

The FOUR PARALLEL LIGHTNINGS symbolizes the four maxims of Air Power which are equally vital in the development and sustenance of a credible Air Force, which are: Concurrence, Campaigns, Unity, Professional Mastery and Balance.

The PHILIPPINE ISLANDS in aerial view represents the coverage of air power’s projection of the military force in the third dimension. Which includes geographical space. It also represents the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) benefiting from the accomplishments of the Air Power Institute.

The CIRCLE represents the Air power encompassment of all forces for a military purpose utilizing a platform sustain in the third dimension

The GOLD OUTLINE of both circles, an important metal which cannot be destroyed by rust and possess eternal luster represents the Philippine Air Force’s quest for perfection and moderation, from which Air Power emanates.

Activities

PAF DOCTRINE DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS. To formulate doctrines that will serve as guide for the conduct of various air force operations, the Institute has programmed several tactical and organizational manuals for development and promulgation. These doctrine proposals are in its various stages of development and shall be ready for implementation on the First Quarter of CY-2007.

AIRPOWER DOCTRINE FORUM. The Air Power Institute sees the importance of immersing into the grassroots of PAF operations and functions. Consultations with the personnel of the PAF operating units could be an effective venue to gather relevant and significant ideas, views, and experiences which could enhance doctrine development efforts and promote airpower advocacy. In CY 2006, the Institute spearheaded the conduct of a series of round table discussions on the topics: PAF Doctrines Development Roadmap and PAF Manual Numerical Designation.

AIRPOWER AND DOCTRINE MODULE. The Airpower and Doctrine Module is being conducted to students taking up Professional Military Education (PME), officership training and Basic Military Training (BMT). The three-week module includes subjects on military doctrines, airpower, military history and wargaming.

“BAGWIS NG HIMPAPAWID” RADIO PROGRAM. As part of the airpower advocacy campaign, the radio program “Bagwis ng Himpapawid” started airing simultaneously over the AFP Radio DWDD and PAF Radio DZXX last February. Heard weekly at frequencies 113 KHz and 1566 KHz respectively, the radio program aims to educated listeners about PAF news, facts, trivia and the relevance of airpower to national security and development.

“PERSPECTIVE” – PAF AIRPOWER DOCTRINE JOURNAL. The maiden issue of the Perspective Airpower Journal was published in the middle part of the year in lieu of launching initiatives that would further promote the people’s awareness on airpower. Eyed to be published on a quarterly basis, the journal features topics introducing and revisiting airpower.

AIRPOWER LECTURES DURING FLAGRITES. The Airpower Lecture Series during Flagrites started on February 2006. A three to five minutes lecture is being disseminated during the first Monday flag raising ceremony. It intends to make the listeners appreciate more the foundations of airpower and in one way or the other influence their views on the role of airpower and doctrines on various military operations.

AIR POWER KNOWLEDGE CENTER. This project proposal, initiated and sponsored by the PAF thru API, was conceptualized to help modernize and promote the attitude and strategic outlook of PAF personnel. An up-to-date paper library system and a fully functional electronic library is projected to be in place by the First Quarter of CY-2007.

AEROGRAMMES. Project Aerogrammes was conceptualized to provide relevant information on doctrines, airpower, and other relevant military subjects within reach to all PAF personnel. Initially, a discourse on the latest technology, the Cellphone Radar (CellDar), was distributed to units in the PAF.

BOOK DONATIONS FROM AIR WAR COLLEGE AND APDC. Books from the Air War College and the Air Power Development Center were sent in balikbayan boxes to API thru the efforts of PAF officers undergoing foreign schooling. These books are now included in the library inventory and are easily accessed by all library users.

DIGITIZATION OF PAF MANUALS. One of the problems identified in the utilization of PAF Manuals is their accessibility since there are only limited copies. In order to address the said problem, API made efforts to digitize old PAF Manuals and other relevant publications. This project is a springboard for the establishment of an electronic library, which could enhance research and archiving efforts in the PAF.

ELECTRONIC CATALOGING. To facilitate library operations and to enhance research capabilities, API was able to make use of available software to automate the cataloging system for the API Library. Through this system, library users are aided with a searchable database of the inventory of books, which could be helpful in their research efforts and for easy monitoring of library transactions.

PAPERLESS OFFICE. To promote efficiency and effectiveness, the Institute implemented the “Paperless Office Concept” in their various organizational communication efforts. With the system in place, office operations was greatly enhanced since all transactions were done electronically and in real time yet employing resource saving measures.

ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMS. To develop personnel in terms of their readiness to take on the tasks given them, unit training/enhancement programs were conducted. These activities includes the Wargaming Techniques Seminar-Workshop, the Policy Formulation Seminar-Workshop and the Methodologies of Research Seminar-Workshop

History

Doctrines have been the byword in the Armed Forces of the Philippines ever since the AFP Modernization Program was enacted into law in 1995. It was part and parcel of the Program's five interlocking components, namely: Force Restructuring and Organizational Development; Capability, Materiel and Technology Development; Bases/Support System Development; Human Resource Development; and Doctrines Development. The latter speaks of formulating realistic and integrated approaches for the generation, evaluation, consolidation and formalization of doctrines. It also sets the tasks to conduct periodic review of promulgated doctrines through the conduct of field application, testing and exercises. It also lays down the guidelines on how these doctrines shall be disseminated within the military hierarchy.

Realizing the tremendous role that doctrines play in the overall conduct of military operations and, eventually, in winning battles, the Commander-in-Chief herself, Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, had been vocal in her advocacy for the development of “modernized doctrines” for the AFP – experience-based and Filipino in character. In fact, she has set the initial direction, tone and tempo for doctrines development efforts when she delivered her remarks during the 66th AFP Anniversary on 21 December 2001. Thus, the Air Power Institute was established on 16 January 2002 by virtue of General Order Number 3, Headquarters, PAF dated 08 January 2002. It was initially placed under the command and control of the Commander, Air Education and Training Command along with the other PAF training institutions.

Seeing the crucial role that doctrines play in the conduct of military operations and the need to promote airpower advocacy, Lieutenant General Jose L. Reyes AFP, the Commanding General, PAF (07 July 2004 to 02 Feb 2007) placed the Institute under his direct command and control on 15 May 2005 by virtue of General Order Number --, HPAF dated ----. The Assistant Chief of Air Staff for Plans, A-5 was then given the task to take functional supervision over the said Institute.
