| Baby named after ABS-CBN ZAMBOANGA DEL NORTE – A three-year-old child is gaining popularity in Zamboanga del Norte after the parents named the baby after television network ABS-CBN.
The report did not disclose ABS-CBN Macawili’s gender. Macawili was born on November 9, 2006 and is from Barangay Baybay, Liloy.
Weng Espiritu reported that Macawili’s parents named the baby after the Kapamilya network.
When Jerry Macawili’s wife was pregnant, they decided to choose from four popular names for their baby.
Jerry said: “Noong buntis pa ang asawa ko, gusto niyang ipangalan ang bata sa nakikita niya sa TV. Pinagpipilian namin kung Wowowee o Kapamilya o Willie Revillame pero ang mas nagustuhan niya, ABS-CBN”.
ABS-CBN’s mother, Soledad, said her husband dreamt of naming her baby after the network. “Napanaginipan ng asawa ko na ipapangalan sa bata ABS-CBN, dahil ito raw ang gusto ng bata.
The couple said that like the Kapamilya network, ABS-CBN brings joy to their lives. -- Report from Weng Espiritu, ABS-CBN Zamboanga

| Russian maths genius Perelman urged to take $1m prize Russian maths genius Grigory Perelman, who declined a prestigious international award four years ago, is under new pressure to accept a prize.The Soviet-born mathematician once taught at colleges in the US A US institute wants to give him $1m (£700,000) for solving one of the world's most complex mathematical problems, the Poincare Conjecture.
But it is unclear whether Dr Perelman, a virtual recluse, will pick it up.
A children's charity in St Petersburg, where he lives, has urged him to take the money and give it to charity.
Dr Perelman, 43, has cut himself off from the outside world for the past four years, living with his elderly mother in a tiny flat said by neighbours to be infested with cockroaches.
In an open letter on its website, the Warm Home charity called on Dr Perelman to give the cash equivalent of the US Clay Mathematics Institute's $1m Millennium Prize to Russian charities.
It suggested that the mathematician had already made an ethical point by turning down the Fields Medal, the world's highest prize in mathematics, in 2006.
Appeal for privacy
The mathematician is reported to have said "I have all I want" when contacted by a reporter this week about the Clay Millennium Prize.Grigory Perelman at a maths lecture in Leningrad (now St Petersburg) in 1980 Grigory Perelman already won maths accolades as a teenager According to the UK's Daily Mail newspaper, he was speaking through the closed door of his flat.
Dr Perelman was the first person to turn down the Fields Medal, which would have been presented to him at the International Congress of Mathematicians in Madrid.
"I'm not interested in money or fame," he is quoted to have said at the time.
"I don't want to be on display like an animal in a zoo. I'm not a hero of mathematics. I'm not even that successful; that is why I don't want to have everybody looking at me."
One of Russia's most senior politicians, Federation Council Chairman Sergei Mironov, has appealed for Dr Perelman to be left in peace to make up his own mind.
He suggested that it was "not very decent to look into other people's pockets and count other people's money", Russia's Interfax news agency reports. | |

| 5 Lethal Asian Foods… People Actually Eat To many Westerners, some of the most popular foods in Asia can seem kinda strange (remember grilled lamb caramels?). But some of the most popular foods in Asia can also prove dangerous to human health. If you are planning to travel abroad, be careful if you choose to try any of these local specialties.1. DurianDurian is a fruit that grows throughout southeast Asia, including Indonesia and Malaysia. The fruit has a distinctive odor that has been compared to a strong cheese, almonds, or manure. Because of this, some public transportation systems in Asia have forbidden passengers to carry the durian.
The soft flesh of the durian is encased in a hard, thorny covering, and if one of these fruits was to fall on your head, you could be seriously hurt. But the durian can also prove deadly in combination with alcohol. According to researchers at the University of Tsukuba, Japan, Durian contains a sulphur-like compound that, when ingested, makes it hard for the liver to break down alcohol.
So if you’ve been drinking to excess and snacking on Durian, you may be at risk for liver damage or even severe alcohol poisoning that could prove fatal.2. Monkey BrainsLong considered a delicacy in China, eating monkey brains can cause a disease similar to mad cow, known as Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
What does that mean for you? Well, basically, your brain could turn into something with as many holes as a slice of Swiss cheese.3. Cassava/YucaCassava is used to make snacks, as well as tapioca (which is what the “bubbles” in bubble tea are made from). However, if it is prepared incorrectly, cassava can contains dangerous levels of cyanide.
Cassava poisoning, also known as “Konzo”, can lead to paralysis or even death.4. Thai Bat Soup/Grilled Chinese RatBoth of these dishes are on the list for the same reason: the meat used to prepare these local specialities can contain dangerous parasites or pathogens.
If improperly cooked, the meat from these creatures can cause serious illness, or even death in very extreme cases.5. FuguFugu, aka pufferfish, is completely safe to eat when properly prepared. However, the liver is extremely toxic, and only licensed Japanese chefs are allowed to prepare fugu. If a plate of fugu has been incorrectly prepared, a person may consume dangerous amounts of tetrodotoxin.
This leads to numbness, then pain, and finally a paralysis so complete that even the muscles of the diaphragm stop working, essentially smothering you to death. | |
