I grew up in a world that treated girls and women differently. I was called aggressive for merely speaking up. I was told to mask my intelligence so that boys would like me. And children were deemed impolite if they dare speak in a table full of adults. A lot has changed since then. Yet, sometimes, it still feels like it has remained the same. In 1909, the first Filipina doctor graduated in Pennsylvania. Filipino women were granted the right to vote in 1937. We have had two female presidents since then.

This safety alert covers the importance of checking and servicing quad bike drive belts. What happened? A farm manager died of injuries when the wheels of his quad bike suddenly locked, causing the machine to roll and crush the driver. He was herding cattle and was making a wide turn at the time. The quad bike was in four-wheel drive. How did it happen? A post-accident inspection showed the quad bike's drive belt had broken. Ordinarily when the drive belt breaks, the quad bike's wheels would keep rolling whether or not they were in gear.

Global warming is real. And the sooner we learn to adjust and adapt to it, while trying to mitigate it, the better. One such adjustment our schools need to make, in response to this reality, is adjusting schedules of outdoor games. Now that the heat is oppressive and expected to get worse as the summer months progress, it would be prudent to avoid being under the sun from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. if we can help it, especially if this sun exposure involves excessive physical activity like sports. The hours between 10 a.

The reaffirmation of Manila's ties with Washington during President Marcos' visit to the United States last week sends a 'stronger message' to China that the Philippines has 'powerful friends' it could count on, a maritime law expert said at a government briefing on Monday. 'Of course, China will be concerned because they will see that we are not just a small country, but a country with many powerful friends. And, hopefully, because of that, they might think a bit that we cannot just be cast aside, especially when it comes to the West Philippine Sea,' lawyer Jay Batongbacal said at the Laging Handa public briefing.

Some of Victoria's worst bushfires have been started by power lines. So, power distribution companies have installed devices that limit the energy flowing to the fault to cut the fire risk. However, in networks equipped with these devices, communities might experience power outages for hours while network operators attempt to track down a fault along tens of kilometres of power line. "In trials in China and Switzerland we demonstrated that our technology can find the fault location to within hundreds of metres in a few minutes, instead of hours or days," says Monash University engineering researcher, Dr Reza Razzaghi.
