[quote=lukeskywalker;1583917]professors don't actually perform much research work. they direct and supervise a bunch of low-paid graduate students to the work towards their master's or doctoral's thesis. grad students in turns have to do teaching, assisting while working on their thesis for their stipends. papers are usually published jointly under the names of faculty supervisors and students who perform the work.

the few good ones write proposals and bring in research and development or engineering contracts into their departments. most research funds from the us come from the us government, the biggest chunk is from the department of defense for military needs. email and the internet were developed by darpa for military use in the 70's. it's and example of technologies that can vastly improve the world.

besides their responsibilities for teaching us professors are the main salesmen for the schools, selling prestige and research work. the star professors are granted lots of liberties for how they want to spend their research funds and for their shares of patents' revenues. a lot of them pad their teaching salaries in ridiculous ways, while others like to go to bangkok frequently for any scholarly conferences (while there are many excellent professors in us universities doing honorable jobs educating and producing the brightest workers, the us education system is a very competitive, almost cut throat world. there are still a lot shenanigans among administrators and professors we need to be vigilant of.

i am happy to say a few departments i know personally have been conducting themselves honorably. they are mostly self-managed democratic organizations where there are checks and balances, with salaries, perks, power, responsibilities and accountability fairly distributes.

this is the best places to train foreign students, not only in their scholarly fields, but the basics of democratic life.

i am only pissed off because a few students i knew quickly ran back to work in the atomic weapon programs in the middle east.[/quote]sounds like the sour grapes of an adjunct or graduate student who never finished. the vast majority of american university professors are not at r1's, but at at universities with much higher teaching loads, and without graduate student support. the vast majority do not have the research support of graduate students.

mean while back on fields, i have been on the ground for a few days. i can not detect any changes from sop. i only went to lollipop as that was all the shopping i needed to do. i was there 6 weeks ago and about 50% were in 7-8 range. now 90% were all new talent, out of that 90% in the 7. 5-8 range. for you scholars, that means 80% were quite doable, young and slim.

contrary to other statements, beggars and street salesmen were under control and pretty restrained. really not in your face, no one following me or pestering me as i walked.

seems to be more **** girls walking around than before, not an overwhelming amount but certainly noticeable to me. i have no idea if they were fl or not as i was never proposition by them nor did i make any contact with them.

as i stated, i only went to lollipop as i was able to fulfill my shopping needs there a few times. i did notice that the overall quality of all the hello-door girls at the different bars were up.

as to the unerring comments of psyhman and dcups, i wish i could have taken you guys on a tour of the universities here in mindanao. based on what you've said and i've inferred of your academic backgrounds, you would have enjoyed the experience.

ge.

[QUOTE=Manny51;1584094]Jes Chr, are you guys still talking about this cuniversity stuff? Talk about going way off topic.[/QUOTE]You are correct; sorry about that.

Sorry guys. I am curious about higher education in the Phil and other Asian countries.

Looks like DCups is a hot shot in the field of mammary glands or infectious diseases or public health. They tend to work with countries in Asia where lots of those weird diseases originate.

Perhaps DCups could enlighten the bros with a few of his latest research reports.

[QUOTE=DCups;1584050]Luke, are you a university professor? I am. Scholarship accounts for about 10 - 20% of a professor's work. Teaching is around 50 - 60%. Committees and other service can be up to 40%. Professors are not the "main salesmen for the schools" unless they happen to be award-winning, top shelf authors or inventors and those are rare. There are admissions staff that do the "sales". Professors do not pad their salaries as that is set by administrators. Professors are required to present at conferences as part of their scholarship. That's how I normally get to Bangkok and etc: to present an article I've published. Geez, you are completely off base on almost everything you said except the obvious competition.

Meanwhile is anyone getting LAID by the angels of AC? Any big-boob sightings? Do tell.[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=Manny51;1584094]Jes Chr, are you guys still talking about this cuniversity stuff? Talk about going way off topic.[/QUOTE]

And these guys are our best and brightest.

On Topic....

A few weeks ago in AC. I lucked out w/ this nice big titted spinner from a Perimeter bar, BF 1500p.

She was on the rag so I just got a half assed BJ, BUT MAN, just being in the same room w/ those big knockers was worth double that.

She is one of the many reasons I love AC.

Ciao

[QUOTE=GoodEnough;1584081]I wish I could have taken you guys on a tour of the universities here in Mindanao.

I have always avoided Mindinao but would reconsider in this capacity. Certainly there are nice beauties there, too.

From the Philippine Star newspaper today. Link: [URL]http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2014/06/22/1337581/palace-vows-intensify-fight-vs-[url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord909][CodeWord909][/url][/URL].

And a couple of quotes from the article.

[QUOTE] 1. "A significant number of Filipinos who went abroad looking for work have fallen victim to sex trafficking and forced labor in Asia, the Middle East and increasingly in Europe, the US State Department said. " [/QUOTE]No mention of their own consulates in the Middle East trying to do the same.

[QUOTE] 2. "At the same time, forced labor and sex trafficking of women and children within the country, principally in Manila and Cebu and tourist destinations such as Boracay, Olongapo, Puerto Galera and Surigao, remain a significant problem." [/QUOTE]No mention of Angeles City. BUT I imagine that an intensified effort will have an effect here.

[QUOTE] 3. "The Philippine Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), on the other hand, has been conducting pre-employment seminars for overseas Filipino workers. These seminars include arming them with the information needed before they leave the country." [/QUOTE]These are the same folks that provide the class in Manila that your girl should take if you are planning to take her out of the country on a vacation. (Probably so the girls will not to be trafficked and instead be able to enjoy their vacation.).

i am getting reports from a very reliable source in angeles city that a young pinay was gang raped and murdered just a few meters from her home at mount view homes in angeles city last night.

the only thing known about the victim was that she was married to a foreigner for some time but also had a child from a previous pinoy husband / boyfriend.

will post any links to the newspaper reports as and when they catch hold of the story or as more information comes through to me.

Capt Munch, looks to me that the powers that be in the western world (especially America) and other organisations have got a massive hard on for stopping all [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord908][CodeWord908][/url] in the pi.

This includes pinays going abroad to work and those working in the bars of manila and especially angeles city.

The raids of bars have got so frequent now in angeles city that a well known bar in ac (miss magic bar) has got rid of all its working girls because according to the owner he is just totally fed up of the high prospect of being raided that its just not worth taking the risk any more.

The bar remains open and will concentrate on promoting its fine pool tables (pool competitions) and serving cold beer to its ex pat followers.

Maybe the massive hard on is starting to pay dividens.

My handle has nothing to do with my (official) research. I am published in the areas of leadership development, organizational change, organizational design, virtual teams and hiring right. Unofficially I research the feel of big boobs, tiny twats and beer ha! I'd love to do a study of that one that Socker posted.

but women being forced into prostitution, as in kidnapping, indentured servitude or by threat of violence? i haven't travelled to every country in the world, but i don't think i have ever seen anything that even slightly smelled that way. is it something like the "dramatic rise" in college [url=http://isgprohibitedwords.info?CodeWord=CodeWord123][CodeWord123][/url], which by my eye, is a lot of pr? or is it something happening in very secret places, like in liam neeson's movie "taken?

just wondering what you guys think.
