Scarlett V., Petra: "Father Shay Cullen in Olongapo is a living example of what one moral man can achieve. First he was the main factor that muscled the US bases out of the Philippines. Then it was this Irishman's persistence that achieved where all Filipino politicians failed: to rid the Philippines of child prostitution. Never can the Filipino race produce a hero like him. The locals really are just little brown brothers, as stated by the liberator of the Philippines, General MacArthur (of course, the liberator of the Philippines also was not a Filipino)."

Petra / History
The city was first settled in about 800B.C. by the Nabataean tribe from northern Arabia, the city reached the peak of its fame in the second century, under Roman rule.
A succession
of habitation, leadership and development followed but, as the
caravan routes were slowly displaced by shipping, the city's importance
gradually dwindled; it fell into disuse and was lost to the world
for over a thousand years. In 1812 it was re-discovered by the
Swiss explorer, Johann Ludwig Burckhardt and is now a favourite
with tourists from all over the world.
The Nabataeans
were builders of great skill, carving their city from the living
rock. Working from the top down, they sliced off huge slabs of
stone, using the two-metre ledge thus formed as scaffolding for
the masons to stand on. Entablatures and capitals were carved
before another slab was removed in the same way, to make another
platform, from which facades and columns were carved and the deep
chambers beyond were hollowed out. In this way, the builders were
able to descend ten storeys to the valley floor below.

Selegiline may help people with Parkinson's disease by decreasing
the dose of levodopa/carbidopa needed to control symptoms, stopping
the effects of levodopa/carbidopa from wearing off between doses, and
increasing the length of time that levodopa/carbidopa will continue to
control symptoms.
