Some social media users started recirculating stories about terrorist attacks perpetrated by Muslim extremists in response to a deadly mass shooting in New Zealand by a suspected white supremacist.

The media ignored the deaths of 30 Christians who were killed in a church bombing perpetrated by Muslim terrorists in March 2019.

What’s True

On 27 January 2019, two bombs exploded at a church in the Philippines, killing 20 and injuring 100. The Islamic State terrorist group claimed responsibility for that bombing. 

What’s False

This attack occurred in January 2019 (not March 2019), 20 people died in the attack (not 30), and major news outlets reported on the incident. 

Origin

In the days following a mass shooting at a mosque in New Zealand carried out by a suspected white supremacist that left some 50 people dead, we encountered multiple social media posts claiming that the news media were ignoring similar deadly incidents perpetrated by Muslim terrorists against Christians. Facebook user Glenn Bayliss, for example, shared a message on the evening of 15 March 2019 asserting that “no media coverage” followed a terrorist attack by Muslim terrorists that had occurred “yesterday” at a church in the Philippines and left 30 Christians dead:

This Facebook post, which was viewed more than 100,000 times within the first few days of its initial posting, stated: “YESTERDAY IN THE PHILIPPINES A CHURCH WAS BOMBED BY MUSLIM TERRORISTS KILLING 30 CHRISTIANS. NO MEDIA COVERAGE.”

No bombing took place at a church in the Philippines “yesterday” relative to 14 March 2019. This Facebook post appeared to be referencing a terrorist attack on a church in the Philippines on 27 January 2019, left 20 people dead (not 30), and was reportedly carried out by ISIS.

This Facebook message was likely shared with a purposefully erroneous temporal reference in an attempt to support the unfounded claim that “no media coverage” followed the incident. Of course, a number of major national U.S. news outlets, such as CNN, the New York Times, and the Associated Press provided coverage of this deadly attack.

CNN reported that two bombs were detonated at the Jolo Catholic cathedral in the southern Philippines on 27 January 2019, leaving 20 people dead and dozens more injured. The ISIS pseudo-state took credit for the attack:

Two bombs tore through a Roman Catholic cathedral in southern Philippines on Sunday, killing at least 20 people and leaving dozens wounded, authorities said.

Two suspected improvised explosive devices detonated at intervals at the Jolo Catholic cathedral in the Mindanao region, according to the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. At least 81 people have been wounded, authorities said, including 14 soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Philippines and two Philippine National Police officers.

The first device went off inside the cathedral, and the second one targeted nearby soldiers who rushed to help the victims of the first explosion, Armed Forces of the Philippines spokesman Brig. Gen. Edgard Arevalo said.

ISIS claimed responsibility for the bombings via its Amaq News Agency. Shortly after the Amaq report, ISIS’ “East Asia Province” also issued a formal communique for the twin suicide bombings.

ISIS did not provide evidence for its claim, nor can CNN independently verify it.

This terrorist attack was also mentioned in a March 2019 follow-up report from the New York Times about the rise of ISIS in the Philippines. The Associated Press also mentioned this incident in an article about terrorist attacks at houses of worship in the days following the massacres at two mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand.

It is worth noting that the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines released a statement in the aftermath of the January 2019 bombing that condemned extremism, not Muslims. In fact, the Catholic Bishops called for Muslims and Catholics to join together in advocacy against violent extremism:

We condole with the families of the several soldiers and civilians who were killed by the explosions. We also express our sympathies with those who were wounded and extend our solidarity with the rest of the church-goers inside the Cathedral and the rest of the church community in the Apostolic Vicariate of Jolo.

At the same time, we condemn this act of terrorism that has taken place only a few days after the plebiscite on the Bangsamoro Organic Law.

As we begin a new phase in the peace process with the creation of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARRM), we ask our Christian brethren to join hands with all peace-loving Muslim and Indigenous People communities in the advocacy against violent extremism.

May all our religions of peace guide us in our quest for a brighter future for the peoples of Mindanao.

From the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines

Seventeen years ago this week, the attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and United Airlines Flight 93 that went down in Somerset County, Pa., brought our country together — first in shock and disbelief, and soon after in grief, and then with a common purpose.

That purpose, while easily forgotten in a time of relative peace, was fresh in the minds of Americans in the days and weeks following 9/11. As President George W. Bush said in his Oct. 8, 2001, address to the nation, “Since Sept. 11, an entire generation of young Americans has gained new understanding of the value of freedom and its cost in duty and in sacrifice.”

Now, 17 years later, a lifetime for many young Americans, we look back on the cost of three wars — one in Afghanistan, which continues to this day; another in Iraq that officially came to an end in December 2011; and a third that takes place with the assistance of our allies whenever and wherever terrorists plot to dismantle the architecture of liberal democracy and claim innocent lives.

Since 9/11, the “cost in duty and in sacrifice” has been steep. As we wrote this Memorial Day, “More than 2.7 million Americans have deployed since 9/11 in support of the global war on terrorism, the longest war in our nation's history. And among them, close to 7,000 men and women in uniform have given their lives safeguarding democracy at home and abroad.”

全7物件について、榊淳司が1物件ずつ現地へ赴き調査し、
その将来にわたる資産価値を丁寧に評価、解説しました。
他では決して得られない真の資産価値が、このレポートで語られています。

パークホームズ文京小日向ｻﾞ ﾚｼﾞﾃﾞﾝｽ 定借物件なのに・・	オープンレジデンシア本郷後楽園 勇気ある「北向き中心」
パークコート文京小石川ザタワー 春日の風景をどう変えるのか？

シェフルール文京茗荷谷 駅徒歩3分で窪町通学区	ライオンズ文京茗荷谷 駅は新大塚の方が近い

このレポートでは、これらのマンションの

資産価値について私がどう考えているのかを

なるべく分かりやすく解説・分析しています。
マンションの資産価値は、立地が最重要です。

「どこにあるのか」で、資産価値の9割が決まります。
「駅から近い」というのがひとつの基準。

でも、「どの駅なのか」「どの路線なのか」

「まわりに何があるのか」「将来どうなるのか」

「過去に何があったのか」などの要素が

複雑に絡み合います。
はっきり言って、ある程度経験を積まないと

自信を持った結論は出せないでしょう。

また、未来がどうなるのかも予想できません。
私は約30年以上、マンション市場を見てきました。

何千カ所もの現地を調査しました。

20数年前とはうって変わった街もあります。
また、「これからどうなるか」について、

ここ10年間の言論活動を行うことで

かなり真剣に考えてきました。

そして、これらの経験と研究によって、

私なりの考えを自信を持って表明できます。
価格は適正なのか？

あるいは、相場観からどれくらい外れているのか？

果たして「買っていい」のか？

それとも「買ってはいけない」のか？

レポートの中では、私なりの考えを明解に述べています。
もちろん、それぞれのマンションの

優れた点についても指摘します。

特に、デベロッパーが気付いていなかったり、

広告ではふれられていないであろう点を見つけ出し、

レポートに盛り込んでいます。
逆に、デメリットについても明解に述べます。

デベロッパーは、常に物件のわかりやすい

メリットだけしか教えてくれません。

デメリットを言う場合には、核心の部分をうまくごまかす場合がほとんど。

しかし、新築で買ったマンションを中古として売る場合、

その物件の真実の姿が浮かび上がります。

その時には、タレントが登場する広告も、

巨額の広告宣伝費も使えません。

あなたのマンションの「裸の資産価値」が問われるのです。
みなさんは、新築で購入する前に、

この「裸の資産価値」を知っておきたくないですか？

そのために、このレポートがきっとお役にたてるはずです。

A local real estate investor has filed updated plans with the City of Los Angeles to redevelop a commercial building in Hollywood with a multifamily residential complex.

The project, slated for a property at the northeast corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and St. Andrews Place, would consist of a six-story building featuring 60 residential units - including six apartments which would be set aside as extremely low-income housing.

Applicant Bang Ja Kim is seeking entitlements for the project through the Transit Oriented Communities guidelines, with requests for a height increase and a reduction in required open space in exchange for providing affordable housing.

Kim received entitlements earlier this year to construct a smaller 50-unit apartment building at the same site.

A rendering of the proposed development by PQNK Architecture portrays a contemporary low-rise structure capped by a roof deck.

The project site is located across the street from Paseo Plaza, a proposed mixed-use complex from CIM Group which would feature 375 apartments and 370,000 square feet of commercial space.

A presentation given earlier this week to the Echo Park Neighborhood Council's Planning & Land Use Committee gives a first look at a mixed-use development planned near the corner of Temple and Alvarado Streets.

The Alvarado Temple Apartments, slated for an approximately 19,000-square-foot site at 418-430 N. Alvarado Street, calls for razing two existing dwellings to make way for the construction of a five-story, 73-unit apartment complex featuring 530 units of ground-floor retail space and parking for 86 vehicles.

Architect Alan Boivin is designing the project, which would include a mix of one- and two-bedroom apartments, in addition to open spaces such as a courtyard, a gym, a recreation room, and two roof decks.

A timeline for the project is not stated in presentation materials.

Just around the block from Temple and Alvarado, Trammell Crow Residential recently built a larger 200-unit apartment complex which also features street-level retail and restaurant space.

So, I’m keeping this ep short and sweet…

Recently, I’ve been getting a ton of work done. How? By making my to-do list shorter.

A to-do list doesn’t need to catalog every bit of minutia that pops into your head. Just list the important task(s) you want to complete.

I changed my to-do list to include only 3 things. Aaaah, so much less stress! I got 1 and a half of those things done, and I felt good.

I suggest looking for 1 step you know you can do… execute that step, then tackle the next one. All the sudden, you realize you’re rolling along and making progress.

Listen and learn…

What’s inside:

• Simplify, simplify, simplify
• Keep your to-do list short
• Chip away at the big projects a step at a time
• Be proactive, not reactive
