Region 13
REGION 13

Caraga is an administrative region of the Philippines, on the northeastern portion of the island of Mindanao, designated as Region XIII. The Caraga Region was created through Republic Act No. 7901 on February 23, 1995. The region is composed of five provinces: Agusan del Norte, Agusan del Sur, Surigao del Norte, Surigao del Sur and Dinagat Islands; six cities: Bayugan, Butuan, Cabadbaran, Surigao, Tandag, Bislig; 67 municipalities and 1,311 barangays. Butuan City is the regional center.

Etymology
The etymology of the word "Caraga" is said to have originated from the native word "Kalag" which means "spirit of soul". Hence, the whole Provincia de Caraga of AD 1622 was called "region de gente animosa", that is "region of spirited men". Another fictional etymology of the name "Caraga" flows from a local legend as coming from the word "Cagang", a numerous small crabs matting the beach of Caraga, which is also known as "katang" to the native Caraguenos. Legend goes that the town was named as such because the first Spanish missionaries who came in the early years of 1600 found numerous small crabs matting the beach.

Political divisions
Caraga is subdivided into five provinces and Butuan City.

    Upon doing my own analysis I have discovered that your comments about average flight delay and percentage of delayed flights by RegionEx as compared to MDA are not quite correct, or at least do not tell the whole story. First, RegionEx’s % of delayed flights is 26.3% compared to 26.5% by MDA, a small outperformance but better nonetheless. Second, RegionEx’s average delays are significantly skewed by some large 100+ minute delays (refer to RegionEx’s scatter plot), making the 5 minute deficit in the mean a deceptive data. This deception is also reflected by the very large standard deviation observed in RegionEx’s descriptive statistics. A quick scan of the medians and modes actually shows that more often RegionEx is performing a bit better than MDA. A quick scan of the histograms indicate that while 57.5% of RegionEx flights are less than 10 minutes delayed, MDA flights are more than 10 minutes delayed 72% of the time, despite the 10 minute additional cushion it schedules for every flight as compared to RegionEx scheduled flight times (100 minutes for MDA, 90 minutes for RegionEx). This means that if comparing apples to apples and giving a 100 min allowance to RegionEx flights, 57.5% of RegionEx flights would register as being on time, a vast improvement over MDA. While the fact that 24% of RegionEx flights are more than 15 minutes delayed is indeed concerning, this data as an aggregate seems to be a representation of Simpson’s Paradox, where the aggregate result looks worse than the data broken down individually.…

    The Boston Celtics were playing the Miami Heat on March 19, 2013. Jeff Green one of the Celtics forwards was having a hell of a game that night and scored 20 points in the first quarter. The Celtics were leading the heat by a total of 10 points after the first and from their performance in the first were projected to win the game. Then all of a sudden Paul Pierce was down on the ground in agonizing pain by the looks of his facial expression. Paul was carried off of the court by his fellow teammates and was obviously seriously injured; however, the game played on and it was a hard fought battle until the end. The Boston Celtics were projected to win the game by the aggressiveness and pace they were playing at but it wasn’t good enough for the win which many had expected. Such as Mrs. Mallard’s freedom from her husband as he had died in a dramatic train accident but did he actually die? Is Mrs. Mallard’s husband actually alive as it is portrayed in the short story “The Story of an Hour” by Kate Chopin.…

    The Northwestern Region

    Diversity among culture and society derived from the diverse terrains the Siberians encountered in the new world. The northwestern tribes lived close to big bodies of water and relied greatly on fishing for survival. They depended on whale, halibut, and salmon since preserving it through drying was easy to do. Due to this tribes in the Northwestern region did not rely greatly on hunting, instead they had the luxury of free time. During this time they picked up the art of woodcarving which they used to denote class and wealth.(14) Like the Northwestern tribes the Southwestern tribes did not rely greatly on hunting, instead they relied greatly on agriculture. This paved the way to a more relaxed way of life where they picked up pottery and had a much more stable life. This also made it possible for a social hierarchy to emerge.(16) Unlike the North and southwestern regions tribes that lived in the great basin region had a much more diverse way of life due to the diverse climate. The way of life relied greatly on whether it was a rainy season or not. During rainy periods tribes could rely on large marshes and lakes for fishing. While during the drier seasons tribes relied on the foothills of mountains where there were deer, antelope, and rabbits. Due to this, tribes in the great basin region…

    New England

    It was not an easy beginning. English settlers began arriving on the James River in Chesapeake Bay, region of Virginia, in the spring of 1607.They hoped to make the first permanent English settlement. But, there were many things that almost wiped out the whole settlement. There were three main causes of death; disease, starvation/dehydration, and attacks. Most of the available water supply was brackish and contaminated by the settlers themselves. The American land was new to the settlers, and gave them a harder time with unskilled workers. Obviously, there would be Indians (most likely were Jamestown is located because it is nearing water) crossing paths. I think that they thought too confidently about the conditions of Jamestown.…

    North Country

    Many stereotypes of women were depicted in the movie North Country. The first major one that I notice was when the main character was talking to her childhood friend after washing her hair. He friend told her that she worked at the town mine. The main character automatically asked her if she was a secretary there. This is a large stereotype that has affected women for a long time. Many people assume that the job a woman would be working in a male environment such as mining must be as a secretary. This is because they feel women would have no place doing anything else. This also can relate to a woman working in a corporate office. If a woman told a person she met that she works for Target in their corporate office, chances are likely that the person may assume she is a secretary, epically if she is good looking. The next major stereotype that I witnessed was right after the main character moved in with her parents. She was talking to her father about the marks on her face and the father automatically assumed that she had cheated on her husband. That was his justification as to why she was beat. Many times in the struggle between man and women, women are made to look at fault due to promiscuity. The "a man can do no wrong to his wife unless she deserves it" notion is in use. The third stereotype that stood out to me was used when the main character was sitting down with her family eating. She made an announcement to the family that she wanted to become a Miner. Immediately, her father replied by asking her if she had become a lesbian. This stereotypes women who choose traditionally male oriented jobs as being homosexual. The is rooted in the idea of a "butch" or "manly" lesbian who is usually larger and stronger allowing them to handle more physically demanding jobs. This way of thought is that the physically demanding jobs are opposite of being "girly" and a woman who chooses not to be "girly" must then be lesbian.…

    Business ethics is a form of applied ethics or professional ethics that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that arise in a business environment. It applies to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the conduct of individuals and entire organizations (Free Encyclopedia). The term business ethics is used in many ways, and the history of business ethics has varied based on how a person or company conceives of the objects under discussion. In a wide sense ethics in business is just the actions or applications of everyday ethical or moral norms and or decisions in business. Construed broadly as moral reflection on commerce, business ethics is probably as old as trade itself. If law, is a rough guide to widely-held moral intuitions (Goodin, R.1985).…

    North Country

    North Country stars Charlize Theron as a female worker at an iron mining company in Northern Minnesota who is sexually harassed and leads a class-action lawsuit against her employer for failing to protect her and other female employees. "What Josey Aimes wants is a decent job so she can put food on the table and take care of her kids. What she gets is threatened, insulted, ogled, fondled, belittled, attacked and called filthy names. "Take it like a man," her callous male boss says. Instead, she takes it like a human being - and fights back." North Country portrays the story of Josey Aimes, a story that is inspired by the woman who began with nation's very first class action lawsuit for sexual harassment. This film portrays the multifaceted and complex factors that influenced the behavior of the characters and, thus, provides a telling commentary on gender expectations and norms within the context of American society.…
