Endless stream of storms draining PH GDP, home incomes

MANILA, Philippines—Typhoon Nika (international name: Toraji), the 14th storm to hit the Philippines in 2024, has not yet left the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), or even the landmass of Luzon, when a new one was seen to enter and threaten the island’s northern region.

As the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said on the day Nika made landfall in Dilasag, Aurora, Ofel (international name: Usagi) will enter PAR on Tuesday (November 12). It did and was seen at 1,125 kilometers east of Eastern Visayas at 3 a.m. on that day. 

A few days later on Thursday (November 14), Ofel intensified into a super typhoon and made landfall in Baggao, Cagayan at 1:30 p.m., prompting the evacuation of thousands of individuals, most of them still reeling from the devastation left by Typhoon Marce (international name: Yinxing), which hit the province on Nov. 7.

Which German dialect is the most pleasant sounding?

Half South African, half Austrian, with three years in Denmark in between. Live in Vienna, where I have spent most of my life. Bit of a language nerd who also likes to travel. Politically incorrect at times. Like meat and Heavy Metal. 1975-present.

 That is most certainly in the ear of the beholder.

Being from Austria, I have heard on occasion that some more northern Germans take a liking to Austrian German as heard on TV because it is a bit softer-sounding and sing-songy. Then again I have also heard that Austrian German can come across as hillbilly in Germany. But since Austria itself also has a lot of regional dialects, that will greatly depend on the region. Both the source region of the Austrian dialect, and the region of the listener from Germany.

To me as a Viennese, Bavarian sounds most familiar and similar, but still distinct. Other German dialects differ widely, but on average, Germany German is a bit harsher-sounding and no-nonsense, compared to ours. Especially Northern Germans can sound very aloof. But they speak crisp and clear. And not one unnecessary word too many.

East German dialects are very recognizable. Berlinerisch is sorta cool, while Saxon is not very pleasant in my ear. Maybe it is also because of the GDR stereotype. But they just sound weird…to me they sound like they are placing Umlaute where they shouldn’t be. Mäine Größmütter instead of Meine Großmutter (my grandma).

But, apart from the obvious stereotypes, I have no in-deep knowledge of all the German dialects.

Within Austria itself, from a Viennese perspective:

• the Styrians bark like dogs (dei Steiara böulln - die Steirer bellen)
• Carinthians soften up each sentence (Dring a Woosa, wiad dia beesa! for Trink ein Wasser, dann wird dir besser! - Drink water, and you’ll feel better.)
• the Tyroleans have laryngitis, and in Vorarlberg, they barely speak German.
• Eastern Austrian dialects around Vienna are not that different, but an hour by car can already make quite a difference.
• Salzburg and Upper Austria don’t have dialects that one could readily imitate - somewhere between Lower Austria and Bavaria - which they geographically are.

Switzerland is its own cup of tea…they have many regional dialects themselves, but from a Vienna perspective, they universally sound like they are stressing a different syllable in each word than we are, and their sound shifts can be challenging…

Being a Health Expert, Nutritionist and Weight Loss & Diabetes Coach, and with the topic of Coconut Water coming up almost every other day — mostly questions around is coconut water good for kidney problems? Low BP? Is okay for Diabetes? Coconut water is one such natural drink, which is often linked with many health-related positives but the consequences of drinking it for different health abnormalities might surprise you.

Because it is high in potassium, magnesium and sodium, coconut water is an ideal way to help you get your electrolytes and keep you hydrated. But for renal health, coconut water also helps in moderation. High potassium content of squash could be useful in people with kidney issues, but more harmful to those with advanced kidney disease or impaired potassium regulation by the body. If you have kidney problems make sure to always visit your physician prior to making it an element of your regular diet.

Potassium in it can help maintain healthy blood pressure levels, which supports those with low blood pressure. Excessive consumption, however, reduces tension even more and should be avoided, or when measuring hypotension- consumed moderately under medical guidance.

Coconut water is a low calorie, low sugar option for diabetics in place of many delicious but high-carbohydrate drinks. It is good for hydration without causing any huge spikes in blood sugar, so it can be a drink that diabetics consume in moderation. Nonetheless those natural sugars should still be added to the overall carbohydrate count.

Of course, these are just a few of the benefits coconut water offers — as always, it is best to consider your health needs and discuss with an individualized health professional.
