The Changi Airport Skytrain is a people mover system that connects Terminals 1, 2 and 3 at Singapore Changi Airport. Opened in 1990, it was the first auto-guided system in Asia. The Changi Airport Skytrain operates from 0500 to 0230 daily and operates at 1 to 2 minute intervals. Travel on the Skytrain is free and an inter-terminal journey takes about 90 seconds. All stations have platform screen doors, are air conditioned and have plasma displays indicating the arrival time of the next train.
With the opening of the Changi Airport MRT Station on 8 February 2002, the Skytrain is able to connect passengers at Terminal 1 to the MRT station entrances located at Terminals 2 and 3.
Initially, the Skytrain rolling stock consisted of Bombardier Innovia APM 100s, jointly built by Westinghouse and Adtranz (acquired by Bombardier). In 2002, work began on a new S$135 million Mitsubishi Crystal Mover-based system to accommodate the planned opening of Terminal 3 and the projected increase in demand as the airport expands.
It is interesting to note that the previous rolling stock of Bombardier Innovia APM 100 ran without a second carriage per train (as opposed to the current Mitsubishi Crystal Movers, which runs with two carriages per train), and the first two platform screen doors of each station was for emergency purposes (The Innovia APM 100s stopped at the outer half of each station, with two doors on each half.).
De mensen van Payatas zijn verzekerd van werk. Zodra er een truck aankomt, is er werk en deze rijden de hele dag af en aan. Dit maakt dat de mensen van Payatas heel ijverig zijn. Maar het leven op Payatas is zwaar en gevaarlijk en voor de meeste kinderen is er geen uitzicht op een andere en betere toekomst.
Een deel van de vuilnisbelt is afgesloten en wordt gebruikt voor het winnen van biogas. Dit gas wordt onder andere gebruikt in de directe omgeving van de Payatas vuilnisbelt.
There are many sub tribes in the province. The strong sense of tribal membership and filial loyalty results in frequent tribal unrest and occasional outright war. Due to the mountainous terrain and warrior-culture of the people, the Kalingas were able to maintain their culture despite the attempted occupation of the Spaniards, Japanese, and Americans. Unknown to many, the last stand of President Emilio Aguinaldo (First President of the Philippines) was in this province, in Lubuagan, which he proclaimed the national capital, and where the Aguinaldo museum commemorates him and those events.
The people of Kalinga are the most extensive rice farmers of the Cordillera peoples, having been blessed with some of the most suitable land for both wet and dry rice farming. Except for the Ifugaos, the Kalingas are the most extensive terrace builders in the country. The Kalingas are also skilled potters with pot making concentrated in the lower Chico River Valley. They are also excellent in basket and loom weaving and metal works.
Work in Progress of my Asia Town. The whole town stands on a wooden board with a wall made of LEGO BLURBs. Under the board is a shadow Station with five railway sidings for 12V trains, but not completed at the moment. On the left side there is a small city built of Xingbao houses of the Zhong Hua Street series. The entry to the city leads through the Korean Sungnyemun Gate from Oxford Blocks. The train station from LEGO is the 2150 in a MOD version. The place in front of the buildng is not finished, so still a lot of work to do. On the right there is the Glory Hotel from the Korean Netflix TV series Mr. Sunshine and also both other sets (bakery and tram) are there. The big market with a lot of food stalls from Sembo follows. The LEGO gate leads to the Korean Palace, the Gyeonghoeru Pavilion. There is the Ninjago temple from LEGO 70751 and the special set from 2019 New Years Eve Dinner 80101 at the right end.

Het Filippijnse ministerie van Volksgezondheid had de deelnemers vooraf opgeroepen zich tegen tetanus te laten inenten en spullen zoals spijkers te ontsmetten.

The only mulit-word country to begin with a vowel is United Arab Emirates (UAE) so it must go in cell C5. See the game note about East Timor.
The waste dump in Payatas is Manila's main waste dump with garbage piled as high as seven stories in some places. Impoverished squatters, including many children, live in the area and pick through the dump to collect items they can sell. When part of the garbage mountain collapsed on July 11, partly weakened from a recent typhoon, garbage crashed down onto the huts and shacks below and caught fire, apparently ignited by fallen power cables and stoves in the huts.
The World Heritage Site of Champaner (Gujarat).
The Jami Masjid (mosque).
It is one of the finest mosques of Gujarat. This is a gigantic structure with two imposing minars on either side of the central entrance to the prayer hall. The dome behind the high central screen of the façade is elevated on two extra storeys of open arcades. The roof just behind this dome is filled by a carved slab of great beauty and ingenuity of workmanship. There are seven mehrabs (prayer niches) in the back wall of the main prayer hall, the central being more elaborated. The northern section of prayer hall was separated by a perforated screen, reserved for ladies from where an extra entrance was provided. A pillared corridor goes round the vast court yard opening inside in ogival arches supported by pillars. The Mosque has three entrance porches to courtyard but the eastern porch is most remarkable for its intricate carving and Jaali work. Construction of mosque is datable to late 15th century A.D.
Sahar Ki Masjid (mosque).
It is one of the most imposing structures constructed very close to the royal enclosure. It might be the private Masjid of the Sultans with five mehrabs. The main entrance is through an arched doorway flanked by two minarets. It is covered by a projection, sloped chhajja. Two more entries on either side of the central one are flanked by jharokhas. Corresponding to each arched entry is a large dome, surrounded on all its four sides by smaller domes. A rectangular ablutions tank was constructed on a platform.
Champaner.
The historical town of Champaner is a city in the Gujarat state of western India. It is located in Panchmahal District, 47 kilometres from the city of Vadodara (Baroda). The city was briefly the capital of Gujarat. It was founded by Vanraj Chavda, the most prominent king of the Chavda Kingdom, in the 8th century. He named it after the name of his friend and general Champa, also known later as Champaraj. By the later 15th century, the Khichi Chauhan Rajputs held Pavagadh fort above the town of Champaner. The young Sultan of Gujarat, Mahmud Begada, captured the fort on 21 November 1484, after a siege of 20 months. He then spent 23 years rebuilding and embellishing Champaner, which he renamed Muhammadabad, after which he moved the capital there from Ahmedabad. The town finally succumbed to attacks from the Mughal Emperor Humayun in 1535.

The Payatas dumpsite is also notorious for the Payatas landslide on July 10, 2000. Prior to that day, rains from tropical storms had weakened the mounds of garbage. Finally in the early morning of that fateful day, the unstable garbage all came crashing down, burying more than a hundred shanties with families inside. Subsequent rescue efforts recovered around 200 bodies but the actual death toll may never be known.
Years after the tragic Payatas landfill landslide, the Philippines remains mired in a worsening garbage and waste mismanagement crisis that will have a significant impact on community health and well-being,
The tank is a week old today. Plants started to grow nicely. The 2nd water change is coming tomorrow. I see some brush on the trees so i may need to add less CO2 with the reactor to solve it. Will drop in some amano shrimps and otocinclus on monday.

Basically there are two breed of birds used for Philippines cockfighting.
The poorer section of society uses the native breeds while the rich normally import their breeds.
These fighting roosters are specially bred for their aggressiveness. And while the birds can still fight, they live a privileged life.
They are usually fed with better quality food like grain or grounded meat as compared to ordinary chicken feed.
The rich even have veterinarians and trainers to build up the muscles of these birds. In fact, it is said that Filipino men treat their roosters better than their wives!
