Angels and Demons: Book Versus Movie

MOVIE: In the movie, the chief of Swiss Guards was Commander Richter, Olivetti was a Vatican police.
BOOK: Olivetti was the chief of the Vatican Swiss Guard. Richter was not on the novel.

MOVIE: Cardinal Baggia survived and became the Pope.
BOOK: All four cardinals (the Preferitti) died in the four churches that represents the altars of science, Earth, Air, Fire and Water.

MOVIE: The Assassin died because of the bomb planted on his car.
BOOK: Robert and Vittoria fought the Assasin and he died after falling from Castel Sant' Angelo.

The movie also eliminated the fight on Piazza Navona and on the Castel Sant' Angelo.

MOVIE: Vittoria stayed on the Vatican after one of the Cardinals was found on the Saint Peter's Square.
BOOK: Langdon fell in love with Vittoria and felt the rage when the Assassin caught her.

The movie eliminated the romantic flavor on the book.

MOVIE : Richter was the one who was falsely accused as Illuminatus.
BOOK : It was Maximilian Kholer, CERN director, who tried to kill the

BOOK: The antimatter just exploded above and the people only saw light from heaven.
MOVIE: The antimatter exploded high above the sky and brought about a blast on the St. Peter's Square.

I have to commend the movie for this. The book was a bit unrealistic considering the fact that the supposed antimatter would be enough to wipe the entire Vatican.

MOVIE: Langdon was on the ground when the antimatter exploded.
BOOK: Langdon ride the helicopter with Camerlengo and jumped just a few moments before the detonation. He fell on the Tiber river and was taken to the hospital.

I also commend the movie for removing this unrealistic scene.

The list above were just the major differences I remembered/noticed. There are other differences like names, roles, who say this and that. Please comment if you want to say something about this article or if you want to add another difference that you saw.

How Much Does a MRI Scan Costs in the Philippines?

My dad recently needs to have a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan for his prostate problem. So I made a little research on how much does it cost to have one. Well, turns out, it depends on many factors such as which part of the body is to be scanned. There's also this technique called "MRI with contrast" wherein the patient will be injected with a chemical to make the scan clearer. For your information this technique of adding contrast is know as Gadolinium Contrast Medium . It adds cost to the procedure but with more clarity, the more you can trust the diagnosis. MRI Machine KasugaHuang , CC BY-SA 3.0 , Link So, in my father's case, we had a Prostate MRI and I assume it's without contrast since he was never injected with the "contrast" chemicals. We got it in i-Scan Healthcare Inc here in Quezon City. The cost is 13000 Pesos . Please take not that the amount was just for the scan and the result will be read by a separate professional.

4 Steps to Replace Stolen or Lost Passbook

My passbook (inside my bag) was recently stolen inside a local grocery store and I would like to share the steps I took in order to secure my account and get a new passbook. The steps outlined here is for a BPI savings account but generally the procedure will be very similar to other banks in the Philippines. 1. Call the Bank to Secure Your Account The first and the most crucial step you need to immediately do is to contact your bank either through phone or personally reporting it to the branch where you opened the account. This will ensure that no funds will get out. The bank will lock the account immediately. The big banks have 24/7 hotlines. For BPI, it's 89-100. You have to do this step ASAP after discovering the lost. 2. Go to the Branch to Ask for Replacement of Passbook This can be a simple replacement of the lost passbook but it can also mean closing the entire account and opening a new one for security purposes.

Resigning? SSS Will Deduct Your Loan Balance from Your Last Pay

The purpose of this article is to inform the public about this policy of the Social Security System (SSS), the government-owned insurance company for those employed in the private sector. I just learned about this a few months ago when my company announced a workforce reduction program. Among the sad discussions is about this policy of SSS regarding loans in cases of resignation or retrenchment. Section G-2 of the SSS Loan Terms and Conditions (at the back of the loan application form) explicitly says the following: "The employer shall deduct the total balance of the loan from any benefit/s due to the employee and shall remit the same in full to SSS, in case the member-borrower is separated voluntarily (e.g., retirement or resignation) or involuntarily (e.g., termination of employment or cessation of operations of the company)." In other words, y ou will be required to pay the rest of your loan (including the interest) when you change employer or employment statu
