Dietary supplement is a product that contains vitamins, minerals, herbs or other botanicals, amino acids, enzymes, and/or other ingredients intended to supplement the diet. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has special labeling requirements for dietary supplements and treats them as foods, not drugs.

Manufacturers and distributors of dietary supplements and dietary ingredients are prohibited from marketing products that are adulterated or misbranded. That means that these firms are responsible for evaluating the safety and labeling of their products before marketing to ensure that they meet all the requirements of DSHEA and FDA regulations.

Wars of ancient history were about possessions, territory, power, control, family, betrayal, lover's quarrel, politics and sometimes religion.

But we are in the Modern era and supposedly more educated and enlightened .

Think about this. Don't just brush off these questions.

Why is RELIGION still involved in WARS? Isn't religion supposed to be about PEACE?
Ask yourself; What religion always campaign to have its religious laws be accepted as government laws, always involved in wars and consistently causing WARS, yet insists that it's a religion of peace?

WHY??

There are only two kinds of people who teach tolerance:

The Bullies. They want you to tolerate them so they can continue to maliciously deprive you. Do not believe these bullies teaching tolerance, saying that it’s the path to prevent hatred and prejudice.
The victims who are waiting for the right moment to retaliate. They can’t win yet, so they tolerate.

-SORSOGON CITY, Oct 11 (PNA) – “Oragon” is a Bicolano idiom that is used to describe a person as smart or exceptionally good and this was tagged on eight members of the local police force during the province’s 117th founding anniversary being celebrated through the ongoing Kasanggayahan Festival at the provincial capital here.
-The eight non-commission police officers were awarded the tag “Oragon na Pulis kan Sorsogon (Outstanding Policemen of Sorsogon)” for making a difference in carrying out their duties and responsibilities, according to Msgr. Francisco Monje, the executive officer of the Kasanggayahan Foundation Inc. (KFI) that spearheaded the awards.
+SORSOGON City – A former mayor of  Matnog, Sorsogon convicted by the Sandiganbayan of graft charges is set to be transferred from the local Bureau of Jail Management and Penology district jail to the National Bilibid Prison, in Muntinlupa City, Metro Manila this month.
-Monje said all the about 500 other policemen and women assigned in the province were qualified candidates for the awards but the eight bested them all to become the first Oragon na Pulis awardees after they were chosen from 13 finalists.
+A local news group in Sorsogon, “the Media Solutions,” reported, that former Matnog Mayor Guillermo “Guaming” Gacis So, 67, is detained in a separate cell away from the hardened criminals.
-Monje identified the awardees as PO1 Arlinnette Ocampo, SPO2 Edgar Calupit, PO2 Arnold Estrellado, PO2 Darwin Villanueva, PO1 Virgil Bibat, SPO2 Restituto Lorejo, SPO1 Arnel Doloiras and PO2 Jerson Giba.
+His family visits him regularly since his detention  on Oct. 21.
-The awarding ceremonies were held over the weekend during the opening of the two-week long celebration of the province’s foundation day that falls on October 17.
+So was convicted for ordering the suspension of Barangay Laboy chairman Ernesto Gile based on a spurious Sangguniang Bayan resolution.
-Starting this year, Monje said the search will become a yearly undertaking to become an important part of the Foundation Day and Kasanggayahan Festival celebrations aimed at recognizing exemplary achievements and accomplishment of Sorsoganons in their respective fields of endeavor.
+Resolution 31–03, series of 2002 was spuriously made to show it was approved by the Sangguniang Bayan recommending the suspension of Gile who was accused of abuse of authority and malversation of public funds.
-On October 18, other Sorsogueños who have excelled in business, education, agriculture, medicine and other fields here and anywhere in the country and abroad will also be added to the hall of fame of “oragons”.
+Based on the Anti–Graft court resolution promulgated Aug. 24 and penned by Associate Justice Roland Jurado, So was sentenced to eight years imprisonment and fined    P5,000.
-In his keynote message during the awarding rites, Rep. Salvador Escudero III of the province’s first congressional district, cited the affair as a “fitting gesture for us people here in Sorsogon to show to the whole nation and to the world that we can perform well in our way of life and become role models for the next generations”.
-He also lauded the organizers for coming up with the idea of honoring public servants who did well in their fields as he cited the importance of the founding anniversary and the Kasanggayahan Festival to be a venue for honoring outstanding Sorsogueños. Sorsogon became a province following its separation from Albay on October 17, 1894.
-Kasanggayahan which means a life of prosperity is the province's biggest festival listed by the Department of Tourism (DOT) as one of the Philippine’s annual celebration characterized by series of religious, cultural, historical, economic and agro-industrial activities geared towards showcasing its abundant year-round harvest.
-The highlights of the festival include Pantomina sa Tinampo that gathers together numerous dancers in colorful native attires from all over the province to perform around major streets here the traditional dance called pantomina that mimic the love and courtship of doves.
-The dance was originally called the “sinalampati” but the Spanish colonizers changed it to its present name as the dancers were actually pantomiming the doves’ movements. It is usually danced during occasions like wedding receptions, fiestas and even ordinary social gatherings in almost all barangays in the province.
-The first Kasanggayahan Festival was held in 1974, the 80th foundation anniversary of the province upon the initiative of then governor Juan Frivaldo. (PNA)
