What would happen if humans would disappear in an instant click? in an instant wink? What would the Earth be?
I was really intrigue when I had searched this topic at Wikipedia. I was just browsing some pages in wikipedia when suddenly I hap bumped into a page. I was reading the summary and I was then really craving to see the Documentary Film.
I found the pieces of the Documentary at Youtube. So if you want to see the Documentary, I would share it to you.
About the Documentary Film:
Aftermath: Population Zero (also Aftermath: The World after Humans) is a special feature produced by Cream Productions and shown on the National Geographic Channel in which scientists and others speculate what the earth, animal life, and plant life might be like if humanity no longer existed, as well as the effect that humanity’s disappearance would have on the artifacts of civilization. The program is similar to the History Channel show Life After People and debuted at 8:00 P.M. ET/PT on Sunday, March 9, 2008.
The story begins on Friday, June 13, in an unspecified year. The , nature of the show and the appearance of certain vehicles suggest that it takes place in 2008.
Domestic rodents might seize human buildings and multiply their populations for a while in the event of human extinction (in the image, black rats in the Karni Mata, India).
The garden goes wild in an abandoned Victorian house of New Orleans.
Without human interference, dog breeds would slowly die out as natural selection makes surviving dogs closer to Australian dingoes (like the one featured in the image) and wolves.
After more than two centuries of abandonement, wind erosion might restore the Great Sphinx to the state it was in the middle 19th century (Bonaparte before the Sphinx, Jean-Léon Gérôme, 1867).

Xavier University is a private Catholic university run by the Society of Jesus in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines.
It was founded in 1933 as the Ateneo de Cagayan by an American Jesuit Missionary,Fr. James T.G. Hayes S.J., who later became the first Archbishop of Cagayan de Oro. In 1958, Ateneo de Cagayan became a university and was renamed to its present name, Xavier University, in honor of the Jesuit Missionary, St. Francis Xavier. The rename was made in anticipation of sister-school Ateneo de Manila changing its name to Loyola University (in honor of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus) in 1959, a move which did happen.
There were at least two attempts by the alumni of the then Ateneo de Cagayan to revert the name of the University to Ateneo de Cagayan. The first attempt was in the mid 1990s and the second attempt was in 2007. These attempts were, however, not widely supported and in the case of the 2007 proposal, not endorsed by the Xavier University Alumni Association (XUAA).
The official student publication of Xavier University is The Crusader. Its supreme student government is the Xavier University – Central Student Government (XU – CSG).

In 1958, when the Ateneo de Cagayan became a University with a new name, the Rector, Fr. Francisco Araneta S.J., asked Fr. Miguel A. Bernad S.J. (then of Ateneo de Manila) to design a new seal for Xavier University. Fr. Bernad’s design was submitted for comment to the heraldry expert of the Church in the Philippines, Archbishop Mariano Madriaga of Lingayen-Dagupan, who approved the design as “perfectly correct with no heraldic error.” The XU coat-of-arms may be described in layman’s language as follows:
The shield is divided into three parts: two upper panels and a lower triangle. The white crescent moon upside-down against a blue field is an adoption of the arms of the castle and family of St. Francis Xavier in Navarre, Spain, except that the original red field signifying war has been change to the blue of peace. Blue also represent our lady, patroness of the Philippines and of Xavier University (under the title of the Immaculate Conception).
The eagle, plume and book of St. John the Evangelist against a red field were the personal arms of the late Archbishop James T.G. Hayes S.J. of Cagayan de Oro who had founded the Ateneo de Cagayan in 1933. The wolves-and-pot (lobos y olla) against a white field represent the family of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus.
Superimposed at the center of the shield is a gold oval with the seal of the Society of Jesus in red. The Jesuit seal consists of the first three letters (IHS) of the name Jesus with a cross and the three nails to recall the passion and death of Jesus.
The shield is placed against a gold field surrounded by two scrolls forming a circle: “Xavier University” and the former name, “Ateneo de Cagayan”.
A smaller scroll below the shield gives the motto, “Veritas Liberabit Vos” (The Truth shall set you free). The foundation date of the Ateneo de Cagayan is given above the shield, 1933.
Founded in 1933 as a high school named Ateneo de Cagayan by Jesuit missionary Fr. James T.G. Hayes S.J., who later became the first bishop/archbishop of Cagayan de Oro, Ateneo de Cagayan has grown steadily. A college department was added in 1938, with course offerings in liberal arts, education and commerce. The Grade School was started in 1940. Ateneo de Cagayan had 614 students when it was forced to close during World War II.
Fr. Edward J. Haggerty S.J., school Rector, who served as a military chaplain during the war years and as Military Vicar for the U.S. Armed Forces from Borneo to Okinawa, wrote in his diary:
“In fifteen minutes the American liberator bombers destroyed our labor of 15 years…”
From the ruins, postwar reconstruction began immediately under the leadership of Fr. Haggerty and Fr. Andrew Cervini S.J., who succeeded him as Rector, and with the assistance of benefactors from the U.S. and locally.
The College of Agriculture was started by Fr. William Masterson S.J. in 1953 and the College of Law and the Manresa farm in 1955.
In March 1958, on its silver anniversary, the Ateneo de Cagayan received university status and its present name, Xavier University – Ateneo de Cagayan, in honor of St. Francis Xavier, Jesuit missionary to the Indies and companion of St. Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus.
Today Xavier University is an academic institution committed to the education and formation of the nation’s youth, especially in Northern Mindanao.
XU has four campuses, located to serve the educational needs of the area: Grade School in Macasandig (about 2,000 students), High School in Pueblo and Grade School Annex (Nursery to Grade 5, also about 2,000 students), Manresa Complex that houses the College of Agriculture laboratory classes, extension programs and SEARSOLIN,and the Main Campus in Corrales Avenue – where XU has about 11,000 college, professional schools and technology students being trained.
The university is divided into the following colleges: the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Law, the College of Nursing, the Dr. Jose P. Rizal School of Medicine, the School of Business and Management, the School of Education, the College of Engineering, the College of Agriculture, and the Center for Industrial Technology.
It also includes a complete preschool, elementary and secondary school units.
Xavier University operates on four campuses: the eight-hectare main campus in the heart of Cagayan de Oro City houses the academic units, except for the support farms and extension works of the College of Agriculture; the Grade School Campus in Macasandig; the High School started SY1999-2000 at a new building at a 13-hectare campus in Pueblo de Oro, a Grade School – Annexed is also at the Pueblo de Oro, and the 50-hectare Manresa Complex on the way to the airport includes the experimental and demonstration farms and extension works of the College of Agriculture, and SEARSOLIN. The university has a student population of 14,564, excluding that of the preschool, primary and secondary school units.

EPC…Where are you?
As I could notice the strength or the bond with the EPC (Elite Piggy Community) is diminishing. Yeah, it is diminishing. We rarely communicate even though we live in the same locale. We have mobile phones and an unlimited sms service offered by our common network provider. But you know what? Its useless! They won’t message me! Or Ask me if I am okay or something! Geez, what is wrong with them? I know that they had their own lives to take care of, but hell, we are friends! It took us (the EPC) 3 years to maintain this friendship. But in just days of no communication, I think this EPC thing we could would be gone.
EPC? Do you got me? Do you care?
Here is a video of the the Cagayan de Oro Flash Flood taken last January 14, 2009 by a concerned citizen. This concerned citizen posted this video in youtube, an online video sharing site. He is known in youtube as reyvelynreyes.

Car of the Future
[DanielDingel.com Note: This is a text-encoded version of an original newspaper article as depicted in the photograph.]
Here’s the story of one man’s struggle to find a niche in motoring history – changing motor fuel from gas to water – only to find frustration most of the way
IT WAS one of the smoothest car rides we ever had. The shifting of gears was flawless, the acceleration was effortless and the ride as a whole as normal as you can get from a well-tuned, well-maintained luxury car except that this was not an ordinary car.
From the outside, however, the Lancer Super Saloon was like any of the thousands turned out by the assembly plant. The body, the tires, the suspension system, the cooling system, even parts of the engine. The main difference, however, is that this car runs on water. Yes, ordinary, tap water which you and I get from our faucets.
The car is owned by Daniel Dingel, a 52-year-old inventor who claims to have perfected the world’s first water-powered car.
The car generated so much interest and inquiry that Dingel at one time or another had to explain the concept to representatives of American and Japanese car companies, top government officials, Filipino scientists at the National Science Development Board, Philippine Inventions Development Institute, mechanics, car buffs and many others and almost singularly, all agreed that the thing works.
The Bulletin chief mechanic, Rolly Salazar, also had doubts in the beginning. But when he observed the system, he too, joined the ranks of believers.
The car, by no means, runs on water alone. Gasoline is also needed but only to start the engine. Once the engine starts, the gas supply is automatically cut-off. This was attested to by BT mechanic Salazar who himself blocked the fuel line leading to the carburetor.
Dingel says that an engine powered by water becomes very efficient and more powerful. “A drop of water,” he says, “is equivalent to SS drops of gasoline.”
What about rust? Isn’t it that water causes rust? Dingel says that his research showed that gasoline shortens the life of an engine because of carbon formation. This formation, he adds, serves as a grinding compound on the parts of the engine and contaminates the oil. True water causes rust, but rust burns along with water and that burning of water reduces wear, tear and friction.
Dingel also claims that the car is a proven fuel saver. From Manila to Laguna, a distance of 147 kilometers, he said he consumed 15 liters of water and half a liter of gasoline.
He said he also tested the car in America and run it from Detroit to Florida. He used up 60 liters of water and two liters of gasoline during the travel. It was also there that some American experts viewed his invention. He said they were satisfied with the results.
Someone from BMW, the German car firm, also came to visit and though satisfied with the car, he wanted to be convinced some more and requested that Dingel dismantle the car.
Dingel refused. He has always been wary of people wanting to open up the engine because he is afraid that someone might steal the concept and use it for their own benefit.
Dingel says that the secret of his car is in the innovations he put in the engine which was a product of 14 years of research.
It was, at first, a hit-and-miss thing, he recalls. Sometimes the engine would overheat, other times, the compartments would be flooded, on occasions the sparkplug would malfunction or some important part would rust.
Finally he corrected all the flaws and the engine now works perfectly.
Dingle says that the benefit from a water-powered car, once it is mass-produced, is so staggering that it simply will bogle the mind.
For instance, he said, if the Philippine government would invest into it, which he, however, doubts, there will be a big drop in the consumption of oil and therefore a giant saving in foreign exchange.
The money saved will then be plowed back into the economy, creating more jobs and so forth and so on.
What then is stopping Dingel from producing it in a joint venture with other interested persons?
Dingel says “I don’t want to think ill of anybody. I just want to make sure that these inventions get into hands who will not use them for their own selfish motives. I didn’t work 14 years day and night to come up with someting for rich businessmen. I was able to come up with this car because I have always wanted to make life better for the people, especially the poor. I don’t want to see hungry people anymore. We’ve suffered enough.”
Atty. Eduardo Tan, assigned by the Filipinas Foundation Inc. as counsel to Dingel while the scientist was under a seven figure FFI grant for three years, reveals that he and Dingel have approached people in the government who tested the car and saw it work. They all congratulated Dingel, says Atty. Tan and that was the last time Dingel heard from them.
Why these government people haven’t done anything about the water-fueled car is a puzzle to Atty. Tan, who has tested the car on a 500-km. run from Makati to nearby provinces in the South. Why this is happeneing, I don’t know. Who can say what their motives are? But I do know that no private company would be in a position to manufacture the car here. The investment would run into hundreds of millions or billions of pesos. Only the government has that money.
What happened to the proposals of foreign investors? Dingel says flatly that he was not pleased with any of the proposals. “They all wanted to make big money out of it, just that, at the expense of the common people. I am looking for selfless, honest investors. I haven’t found any.” Dingel adds he wants the car to be priced within the reach of common people and no potential investor has considered that. (JDG)

So people? Are you with me in supporting this great inventor? I think he is not crazy, the people who are criticizing him are the ones who are crazy. With his brilliant mind and hands, he have came up with this invention! That is really awesome!
So come on! LET US SUPPORT THIS GUY! A man for the welfare of the Masses! Daniel D. Dingel! I salute you!
Central Mindanao University Laboratory High School (CMULHS) was RE-Launched last Month by Julius Alcordo. The Online Community suffered from shutting down for three times. It was been successful, though for a short time. I hope with this RELAUNCH, many alumni and current students from my SCHOOL would join the FORUM.
This was the WELCOMING MESSAGE, found in the said forum, from Julius Alcordo:
It was around 2 years ago when I made a CMULHS forum. That was the time when I had no clue about Web programming stuff, I’m not saying that I’m expert this time around but I do have a signifcant improvement in experience and yada yada..
Anyway I do hope that you’d help me advertise this site to all CMULHS people, alumni and students..
Help me out! Let us unite the CMULHS community
