    The Department of Trade and Industry Central Visayas organized

    an ASEAN Economic Integration Workshop for the Manufacturing,

    Trade/Retail, and Creative Industries on April 4, 2014 at the

    Marco Polo Plaza Hotel in Cebu City.

    In cooperation with the Export Marketing Bureau, Regional Eco-

    nomic Development Authority (NEDA 7) and Cebu Chamber of

    Commerce and Industry (CCCI), the activity sought to identify

    action plans and strategies that would prepare and capacitate

    industry sectors for the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) inte-

    gration.

    DTI Assistant Secretary Ceferino Rodolfo discussed with partici-

    pants the overall direction of industry development, impact of AEC

    integration, and its advantages to the manufacturing, retail/trade

    and creative industries; while resource speakers from Cebu

    shared their knowledge, experiences and expectations to the up-

    coming ASEAN Economic Community integration.

    Outputs of the workshop were utilized as main inputs to the Cen-

    tral Visayas Roadmap to AEC integration and shall serve as guid-

    ing document for stakeholders in their preparation for the AEC

    integration.

    2015 marks the birth of the ASEAN Economic Community and the

    start of free trade between the 10 member-countries where prod-

    ucts and services, among other things, will have a single market

    and production base and where labor, investments and capital will

    have a freer flow.

    The Power of Belief - Mindset and Success: Eduardo Briceno at TEDxManhattanBeach (VIDEO)

    The way we understand our intelligence and abilities deeply impacts our success.

    Based on social science research and real life examples, Eduardo Briceo articulates

    how mindset, or the understanding of intelligence and abilities, is key. When students

    or adults see their abilities as fixed, whether they think they're naturals or just not built

    for a certain domain, they avoid challenge and lose interest when things get hard.

    Conversely, when they understand that abilities are developed, they more readily

    adopt learning-oriented behaviors such as deliberate practice and grit that enable

    them to achieve their goals. But this belief is itself malleable, and there are clear ac-

    tions we can all take to establish a growth mindset and enable success for our chil-

    dren, our peers and ourselves. Source: http://www.ted.com

    The first fabrication laboratory in the Philippines will be launched

    in Bohol during the 1st FabLab Asia Network Bootcamp and Con-

    ference (FAN1) in May this year.

    A shared service facility (SSF) run by the Bohol Island State Uni-

    versity (BISU) to support technology-driven product innovation

    and prototyping, the Bohol FabLab can perform the function of an

    incubator laboratory where designers and innovators can test out

    their ideas and make prototypes. Because it will also be plugged

    into the global fablab network, designers, innovators, start-ups

    can avail of coaching and mentoring services (for free) from other

    more advanced FabLab sites in the world.

    The Bohol SSF is funded by the Department of Trade and Indus-

    try (DTI), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA),

    Department of Science and Technology (DOST), the Bohol Island

    State University (BISU) and with support from the Provincial Government

    of Bohol and the Local Government of Tagbilaran.

    FAN1 will be the first International Conference of FabLab operators in the

    Asian Region. It has the theme: Weave Asian Fabbers which directs to

    strengthen the Fabber communities in Asia to become one strong piece of

    fabric responding to the needs of the Asian Region.

    DTI Bohol will be inviting key players to the conference including BSOs,

    MSMEs and other interested individuals where they can appreciate how

    information and technology can be shared to create excellent innovations

    through the FabLab.

    The 1st Livelihood Rehabilitation Workshop was held on April 3, 2014 at the DTI 7 Conference Room in Cebu City.

    Our thoughts are powerfulso powerful that they can in-

    fluence what lies ahead.

    If we focus on our past difficulties

    and fears, we find ourselves strug-

    gling to nurture positive feelings

    about the next chapter.

    Here's a plan for remaining opti-

    mistic.

    1. Imagine the way you'd like your

    future to look.

    Having a clear vision of what you desire

    evokes a sense of excitement, and

    issues an invitation to the future to pull you forward. Believing in

    your vision is the surest way to attract what you want in life; the key

    is to keep that vision energized with positive thoughts for tomorrow,

    regardless of what today looks like.

    2. Move through your fear and let go of the past.

    It's natural for human beings to fear the unknown, and the future

    falls into that category; none of us can predict what's to come. But

    what we can control is our mind-set. Don't hold yourself back be-

    cause you're afraid or because you've been hurt. Instead, acknowl-

    edge your fear, accept it, and walk through it with confidence. Let-

    ting go is like a mental, emotional, and spiritual delete button. It

    doesn't change what happened, but it removes that event's power

    to continue hurting you. Until you make peace with your difficult

    memories, that pain will continue to bleed into your current and

    future experiences.

    3. Stop rehearsing your limita-

    tions.

    Talking constantly about what you

    cannot do and do not have can

    become habitual, and talking about

    what you don't want to happen"I

    don't ever want to go through that

    again!" "I don't want to be broke!"

    can wind up becoming a self-fulfilling

    prophecy.

    4. Live well today.

    Often our lives are so overwhelming, over-committed, and ex-

    hausting that it feels like we will never get it all done. This leads

    us to believe that tomorrow will bring us more of todaya day in

    which we'll continue to be stressed.

    To pump some life and excitement into your future possibilities,

    you need to be joyful, peaceful, and grateful for what you have

    and what you're doing right now. This means spending time rest-

    ing, working, learning, nourishing, preparing, and loving. When

    we do things that keep us feeling alive and hopeful, we learn to

    look forward to a brighter and better future.

    Angela Lee Duckworth: The key to success? Grit (VIDEO)

    Key to success? Not IQ. Not good looks. Not talent. Not social connections. Its grit ---the

    perseverance and passion for long term goals, the willingness to start over again, the focus

    of not taking your eyes off what you really want to accomplish.

    Leaving a high-flying job in consulting, Angela Lee Duckworth took a job teaching math to

    seventh graders in a New York public school. She quickly realized that IQ wasnt the only

    thing separating the successful students from those who struggled. Here, she explains her

    theory of grit as a predictor of success. Source: http://www.ted.com

    I do not mean that they never have a day when theyd rather be doing anything

    but their job, but rather that they experience a consistent contentment with what

    they do.

    1. They seldom feel disconnected from the challenge that first engaged

    their interest.

    People who love what they do never lose sight of the challenge and the sense of

    purpose that drives them because its the very thing that gets them up in the

    morning.

    2. Theyre remarkably well-attuned to the early years.

    People who genuinely love their jobs are in touch with that kid who loved to write,

    or tell stories, or envision amazing buildings. The important part: what these

    people are doing in their jobs now may not be a

    carbon copy of those passions, but theyve success-

    fully integrated elements of those passions into what

    they do. In effect, theyre energized kids with the

    seasoned perspective of adults and thats a great

    place to be.

    3. They are portfolio thinkers.

    Psychology research, using the vernacular of busi-

    ness, has made an important contribution to under-

    standing how to effectively manage loss and failure

    and it has everything to do with whats in

    your personal portfolio. The point is, portfolio thinkers

    know that their careers will always combine positives and negatives. The crucial

    thing is, they dont choke on the negatives and they dont get too high on the

    positives. If you want to love what you do, that sort of balanced, even-keel per-

    spective isnt optional.

    4. They dont care what you think.

    People who genuinely love what they do dont allow others to talk them out of it.

    To put a psychological bead on this observation: people who love what they do

    are self-actualized in the best sense of the term.

    5. They are born succession planners.

    It simply means that for every person deeply synced into his or her position,

    theres another person in training to do that job when the time comes. And the

    time always comes eventually, because things change all the time; thats the one

    constant we can all be sure of. People who love their jobs not only know this,

    they embrace it wholeheartedly and actively look for others to share their pas-

    sions with.

    6. They will staybut just know, theyll also leave.

    Why will they leave? Because for people who love what they do, organizations

    are important--since they provide the infrastructure to do that which fuels their fire

    --but no single organization has a monopoly on providing that fuel, and if a com-

    pany or firm ceases to provide an adequate venue for doing what they love to do,

    then its time to move on. Passion always supersedes the functionality of infra-

    structure and organization, and thats what makes it such an essential part of who

    we are.

    7. They wont be stopped.

    To put that another way, when a manager says, in so many words, this is your

    role in my plan, and failure to fill it will have negative consequences, the smart

    person usually obliges, at least temporarily. But the passion-driven persons bent

    on doing what they love are already figuring out how to

    blow the walls off that plan and move on. You cant hold

    them back. Passion-fueled tenacity will win in the end,

    even if it means taking some hard knocks in the short

    run.

    8. They draw people to them without even trying.

    People want to be around people who are passionate

    about what they do, because its an infectious feeling.

    And when they get a taste, theyll want a bigger taste

    and pretty soon, even if they arent exactly sure why

    theyll start feeling a strange, uplifting sensation about

    coming to work. People who love what they do pass

    along what psychologists call psychosocial contagions, and just a few drops can

    change an office for the better.

    9. They live in the now.

    Sure, theyll give it some time of anyone, they know it takes time to pursue

    ones vision of fulfillment. But if you think youre going to convince a genuinely

    passionate person that an array of external forces must align before they can act,

    youre wasting your time. The now for someone who loves what they do is

    precious, because it can disappear in a heartbeat.

    10. They never, ever limit their vision to serve the interests of petty compe-

    tition.

    Loving what you dono matter how competitive you have to be to attain your

    goalsdoes not require stepping on others to get there. The folks weve been

    talking about in this article know that intuitively, and its a big part of the reason

    they're worth writing about.

    Stop Living Vicariously through Others Think about it. If youre constantly following someone you admire, eagerly awaiting an exciting story from your globe-trotting friend or reading ro-mance novel after romance novel, dreaming of the perfect relationship,

    youre not living your life. Youre wasting it in your own head.

    Figure Out What It Is That Inspires You Instead of living completely absorbed in what someone else is doing, think about what inspires you and how you can take that inspiration and create something similar in your own life. Do you love your friends sense of adventure and the freedom she has to travel the world? Think about how you can create a new and exciting travel experience in your own life. Is there a nearby town youve never been to that you can make a day trip out of ? Or maybe youre an aspiring photographer and spend your days stalking the Flickr accounts of your favorite artists. What is it that you love about their work? What are some things you can do right now to work on creating the skill set youd need to take those same photos?

    Stop Planning. Start Doing. One of the biggest ways we avoid living our life is by planning it. Planning is a great tool, dont get me wrong its when you spend all of your time on the plan, the details, the strategy and the vision, and zero time bringing it to life that you run into trouble. I know that action can feel scary. Especially when youve been in dream mode and youve spent a lot of time absorbed in the big picture and what it takes to get there. It can seem overwhelming! But, like anything, it all begins with a single first step. What is one thing you can do right now to move yourself in the direction of your dreams? Can you schedule that day trip to the next town? Sign up for a photography class that teaches you that new skill set? Put down the romance novel and get on a dating site or out to a singles event?

    Commit to at Least a Week of Disconnecting Whatever it is that you use to distract yourself from your own life, commit to one full week without it. No blogs, social media, romance novels, reality TV shows or stalking Flickr accounts. Once youve eliminated your biggest distractions, youll be forced to face your life head on! Youll also find yourself with plenty of space to explore new things, time to get out and live your life and openness for new, amazing things to fill the void!

    1. WHAT IS FABLAB ASIAN NETWORK? Being a FabLab means being part of a global network of local nodes.

    In 2002, the first Fab Labs were set up in rural India, Costa Rica, northern Norway, inner-city Boston and Ghana. They are part of the project of an international network of small-scale labs, launched to explore the implications and applications of personal fabrication.

    Since that time, it has expanded to more than 15 sites in 7 countries. During the International Conference of FabLab administrators held in Tokyo, Japan in August of 2013 (FAB9), it was discussed and agreed that there is a need to share knowledge and collaborate on certain issues and initiatives in Asia. Therefore, collaboration has been con-sidered and the FabLab Asia Network was proposed.

    The FabLab Asian Network desires to

    Increase the FabLabs in Asia; Improve the FabLab technology in Asia; Promote common use of local Asian materials in FabLab; Solve common Asian problems and promote collaborations among

    Asian FabLabs;

    2. WHAT IS FAN1? FAN1 (FabLab Asian Network) is the first international conference of

    FabLab operators in the Asian region with the theme: Weave Asian Fabbers this directs to strengthen the Fabber communities in Asia to become one strong piece of fabric responding to the needs of the Asian Region.

    FAN1 will be held in the City of Tagbilaran, Province of Bohol, Philip-

    pines. This will held at FabLab Bohol at the Bohol Island State Univer-sity (BISU). This will run from May 2 7, 2014. The participants are not only existing FabLab operators in Asia but also for future Fabbers who has plans to set up more FabLabs sin the region.

    FAN1 contents will be directed to

    Understand Each Other Learn from Each Other Think about Asian Fab

    3. WHAT ARE THE ACTIVITIES? MAIN CONTENTS 1. FAB PRESENTATIONS

    A. To understand from each other: Fab Presentations 1. The Fab Presentation aims to introduce each Asian FabLab and its activi-

    ties. The purpose is to induce the exchange of knowledge/technology and collaboration.

    2. The Super Fab Talk is a special presentation to FAN1 operators and

    local attendees. Each presentation make recommendation/suggestions by FabLab Asian Network to common Asian problems.

    The following issues will be taken up this time: Fab X disaster: What can digital fabrication and FabLab do for the disasters

    in Asia? Fab X traditional and culture: How can FabLab protect /develop traditional

    culture in Asia? Catch up Fab Academy: What is Fab Academy? What should be done for

    catch up? 2. BOOT CAMP B. Learn from each other: "Boot Camp" FabLab Network has an online education system that is provided by MIT.

    However, there are some tough hurdles in joining this program like following:

    Access to hi-speed internet line Access to materials which are difficult to procure in developing countries Requiring high level knowledge/skills of digital fabrication for pre-requisite

    knowledge FAN1 conducts lectures and hands on for beginners for the available Fab-

    Lab equipment to catch up with the requirement of the Fab Academy. Participants will be able to gain minimum required knowledge for each equipment when they participate in this boot camp.

    Lectures and hands on will be for the following machines and technology as

    follows: - ShopBot (Big CNC machine) + Laser cutter - Arduino (Programmable electronically circuit)+ MDX (Small milling ma-

    chine) - 2D drawing + Cutting machine - 3D modeling + 3D printer - Material development (for using Recycle aluminum and plastic, Banana

    fiber)

    - Product Innovation

    Becoming a pro on practice alone is that possible? Or do you need in-

    nate talent? (audio) After reading books promoting the idea, a photographer with no natural tal-

    ent explains how he is practising for 10,000, hours to become a professional golfer. We hear David

    Epstein, author of 'The Sports Gene', and Malcolm Gladwell, author of 'Outliers' explain their views on

    whether you need innate ability. This programme was first broadcast on the BBC World Service.

    Kelly McGonigal: How to make stress your friend

    Stress. It makes your heart pound, your breathing quicken and

    your forehead sweat. But while stress has been made into a

    public health enemy, new research suggests that stress may

    only be bad for you if you believe that to be the case. Psycholo-

    gist Kelly McGonigal urges us to see stress as a positive, and

    introduces us to an unsung mechanism for stress reduction:

    reaching out to others..

    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-

    organized events that bring people together to spark deep discussion

    and connection in a small group. . Source: http://www.ted.com
