This document summarizes the history of women's roles in the Philippines from pre-colonial times through U.S. colonial rule. It discusses how women were highly regarded in pre-colonial society and held important roles in production and religion. The arrival of Spanish colonizers introduced patriarchal systems that subordinated women and restricted their freedoms. Under subsequent colonizations by the U.S. and Japan, women faced exploitation as cheap labor, sexual abuse, and loss of economic opportunities. The roots of discrimination against women stem from the patriarchal structures of the ruling class, family, religion and colonial powers. Women engaged in struggles for equality and justice through various movements across history.
The Propaganda Movement was a campaign for reforms in the Philippines led by educated and patriotic Filipinos called ilustrados in the late 19th century. They crusaded peacefully through writing and speeches to expose the abuses of Spanish colonial rule and push for reforms like equal rights, representation in the Cortes, and expulsion of the friars. Notable propagandists included Marcelo Del Pilar, Jose Rizal, Graciano Lopez Jaena, and Mariano Ponce. They established organizations like La Solidaridad and joined secret societies like Freemasonry to spread their message. While the movement did not achieve concrete reforms, it awakened Filipino nationalism and set the stage for the revolution.

- Potential advantages include insect resistance, herbicide tolerance, and increased yields. However, concerns exist regarding effects on non-target organisms, development of pest resistance, gene flow, impacts on soil ecology and biodiversity.
- Safety studies on GM crops like soybean, maize, and others have shown some toxic effects in animal models including
Country Status Reports on Agricultural Biotechnology - Thailandapaari
Thailand's agricultural biotechnology sector focuses on increasing crop productivity through techniques like marker-assisted breeding and tissue culture. Total investment in agricultural biotechnology research in Thailand was 906,259 USD in 2016. Major crops include rice, corn, sugarcane, rubber, and cassava. While GM crops are not commercially grown, some GM soy and corn imports are allowed. The government is supporting "smart farming" initiatives through capacity building, research funding, and regulatory reforms to advance the agricultural biotechnology sector as part of its Thailand 4.0 economic development plan.
The document discusses biotechnology and its use by governments to improve citizen health and agriculture. It describes the National Committee on Biosafety of the Philippines (NCBP) which regulates genetic modification research and policies. The NCBP was established in the 1990s and strengthened in 2006 to oversee modern biotechnology's safe use and potential environmental and social impacts. It follows strict scientific standards for biosafety oversight.

From controlled transition to caring transformations - StirlingSTEPS Centre
This document discusses the differences between "controlling transitions" and "caring transformations" when addressing issues like climate change. It argues that ideas of control are part of the problem and that controlled transition does not equal real transformation. Caring for transformation instead of control could mean culturing transformation through myriad grassroots actions that challenge power and are driven by solidarity, values and hope rather than singular theories and top-down control. True transformation is shaped by unruly diversity rather than imposed order and expertise.

Andy Stirling - nexus methods (RGS 2016)STEPS Centre
This document discusses the concept of "nexus thinking" across multiple domains and topics. It makes several key points:
1) Nexus thinking spans across different silos and considers connections between domains like food, water, energy, climate, and development.
2) Framing of nexus issues applies at every level and transcends place, space, and scale. Different framings lead to different understandings and potential solutions.
3) Nexus thinking recognizes the entanglement of objective conditions and subjective actors, and highlights the role of power and politics in knowledge production.
Andy Stirling - STEPS Centre 'Pathways Methods'STEPS Centre
The document outlines the STEPS Centre 'Pathways Methods' for helping appreciate alternative pathways. It summarizes the methods as follows:
1. The methods aim to catalyze more open political space by broadening out discussions beyond incumbent 'pro-innovation' views and opening up consideration of marginalized interests and alternative pathways.
2. The methodology involves engaging actors, exploring narratives, characterizing dynamics, and revealing strategies through a repertoire of participatory and deliberative methods.
3. A case study applying these methods in Kenya found surprising optimism for alternative crops but farmer preference for local maize varieties, showing how the methods can surface plural perspectives on pathways.
This document provides an overview of a presentation given by Andy Stirling on 'Nexus Methods' at the ESRC Methods Festival. It discusses the complex and interconnected nature of issues related to the food-water-energy nexus. It notes that while there are many quantitative and qualitative methods that can be applied to nexus issues, they all involve subjective framings and no single method can capture the full complexity. The presentation advocates a reflexive approach that acknowledges the conditional nature of knowledge and assessment in this domain.

Recent years have seen a disturbing rise in violence, discrimination, and intolerance against Christian communities in various Islamic countries. This multifaceted challenge, deeply rooted in historical, social, and political animosities, demands urgent attention. Despite the escalating persecution, substantial support from the Western world remains lacking.
Why We Chose ScyllaDB over DynamoDB for "User Watch Status"ScyllaDB
Yichen Wei and Adam Drennan share the architecture and technical requirements behind "user watch status" for a major global media streaming service, what that meant for their database, the pros and cons of the many options they considered for replacing DynamoDB, why they ultimately chose ScyllaDB, and their lessons learned so far.
Christian persecution in Islamic countries has intensified, with alarming incidents of violence, discrimination, and intolerance. This article highlights recent attacks in Nigeria, Pakistan, Egypt, Iran, and Iraq, exposing the multifaceted challenges faced by Christian communities. Despite the severity of these atrocities, the Western world's response remains muted due to political, economic, and social considerations. The urgent need for international intervention is underscored, emphasizing that without substantial support, the future of Christianity in these regions is at grave risk.
