Your P100 today buys only about P75 worth of what it did in 2018.
That’s how much purchasing power has been eroded by years of rising prices in Central Visayas.

Which foods increase creatinine?
Jayne Beaumont

Several years back, I was half-way through my breakfast when my friend told me he had done his routine tests and realized he had high creatinine levels. However, he pinpointed the particular food that caused such results.
There are some foods that can increase the levels of creatinine temporarily due to their impact on the body; among them, there is cooked red meat, since the process of cooking converts the creatine into creatinine. High protein intake makes the kidneys work more intensively, but it does not always lead to the development of kidney disease, especially in healthy individuals. Moreover, the consumption of creatine supplements increases the level of creatinine in the blood stream.
What surprised me the most was the fact that it is not only one food that should be considered when it comes to the increased creatinine levels. Such factors as hydration, the intake of medications, muscle mass, and kidney health have an impact on the level of the substance in the body. During that period, I came across the health script where I found a useful daily practice based on the use of natural remedy. At first, it seemed to be too ordinary for me to pay
Bundesagentur für Arbeit tief in den roten Zahlen – wird jetzt bei älteren Arbeitslosen gespart?
Stand:
Nürnberg – Die finanzielle Krise der Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA) treibt die Debatte über drastische Reformen im deutschen Sozialsystem voran. Angesichts eines prognostizierten Defizits von rund zehn Milliarden Euro allein für das laufende Jahr rückt eine neue Studie des hauseigenen Instituts für Arbeitsmarkt- und Berufsforschung (IAB) das Arbeitslosengeld für ältere Menschen in den Fokus, wie das Handelsblatt berichtete.
Das wissenschaftliche Papier mit dem Titel „Wer wie lange Arbeitslosengeld bekommt – und was es kostet“ rechnet vor, dass eine Verkürzung der Bezugsdauer für über 50-Jährige Milliarden-Einsparungen ermöglichen könnte.
Das aktuelle Bezugssystem beim Arbeitslosengeld und der Reformvorschlag
Bislang ist die maximale Bezugsdauer von Arbeitslosengeld I nach dem Lebensalter gestaffelt, wobei Arbeitnehmer unter 50 Jahren höchstens zwölf Monate Unterstützung erhalten. Für ältere Beschäftigte steigt der Anspruch hingegen schrittweise an, sodass Personen im Alter von 50 bis 54 Jahren bis zu 15 Monate, von 55 bis 57 Jahren bis zu 18 Monate und ab einem Alter von 58 Jahren maximal 24 Monate lang Leistungen beziehen können.
Die Modellrechnung des IAB zeigt nun auf, wie sich eine Vereinheitlichung auswirken würde. Würde die Bezugsdauer für alle Altersgruppen konsequent auf maximal 12 Monate gedeckelt, läge das rechnerische Sparpotenzial bei 2,4 Milliarden Euro pro Jahr. Eine weniger radikale Absenkung auf eine Obergrenze von 15 Monaten brächte immerhin noch 1,4 Milliarden Euro ein.
Die Studienergebnisse gießen zusätzliches Öl in eine ohnehin hitzige politische Diskussion. Unterstützt wird eine solche Obergrenze vor allem von wirtschaftsnahen Kreisen. So fordert die Bundesvereinigung der Deutschen Arbeitgeberverbände (BDA) schon länger eine einheitliche Höchstgrenze von 12 Monaten, um stärkere Anreize für eine schnellere Arbeitsaufnahme zu setzen. Befürworter argumentieren zudem mit sogenannten Verhaltenseffekten. Statistisch gesehen steigen die Chancen auf eine neue Beschäftigung sprunghaft an, kurz bevor der Leistungsanspruch erlischt. Das IAB schätzt, dass dieser zusätzliche Motivationseffekt die reinen Einsparsummen theoretisch noch um weitere 50 Prozent erhöhen könnte.
BE STILL AND KNOW
WHAT DOES “Be still and know that I am God” mean in Psalm 46:10?
Psalm 46 is a beloved passage in which the psalmist declares that, no matter what is happening around him, God is his refuge and strength. Safe in the assurance that He is God, we can wait on Him even amid chaos. He is still on His throne.
Like many Bible verses, however, this one is often taken out of context and used to convey something that may not have been intended in the passage itself. Well-meaning Christians may use it as consolation in times of worry and frustration — as if God were simply saying, “Relax, I’ve got this.”
In other words: Be still. Stop running to and fro. Slow down. Slow down long enough to listen.
The phrase “Be still and know that I am God” calls us to pause and reflect. It reminds us that God remains in control, no matter what happens in our lives. By being still and reconnecting with our faith, we can find peace even amid the chaos of life.
Why is it important to be still?
Being still is like replenishing our reserves. It gives us the time and space to reflect, gather our thoughts, and actually listen to what is going on within us.
Yes, we are living in a noisy and hectic world. And many times, we ourselves become noisy and hectic. We hardly find time to rewind, slow down, and shut out the daily din and racket. We can become noisy people and even troublemakers ourselves. Have you noticed it?
Making time for moments of stillness can have powerful benefits for our mental and emotional well-being.
Today, however, stillness can be difficult to find. There is simply so much going on — so much noise both inside and outside our minds, so many tasks on our to-do lists, and usually several screens within reach.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, stillness is “the quality of being quiet and not moving.”
Yet moments of stillness are possible even on the busiest of days. They are within our reach whenever we need them. We only have to make room for them.
So many times, our relationships with our partners, friends, relatives, workmates, and neighbors become strained because we are too busy, too distracted, or too overwhelmed to stop, listen, and understand.
Be still and know. Slow down long enough to hear God’s voice, too. There is indeed so much of God to discover if only we would slow down long enough to hear His voice. Yet we can become so overwhelmed by our earthly desires that all we think about is ourselves: “Yes, God, I want You to do this for me — and I want it now!”
What a fatal attraction that impatience can become! Learn instead to wait quietly on Him. When you begin to grasp something of our Lord’s true greatness, you will be truly amazed.
Be still and know.
