To make life easier we made a list of Boracay Philippines facts who should keep in mind if you decided to travel to here. It includes some basic information as well as some tips from foreigners who has been living in Boracay for a long time.
It's important to remember that in order to enter the country you should have return ticket otherwise you might not be allowed to get on the plane. The ticket could be also requested from you when you go thru immigration control. Citizens of most of countries currently can stay in the Philippines up to 30 days without visa. Come nationalities can stay up to 14 days without visa, others will need visa from Philippines' embassy in their country. You can find out whether no visa entry is applicable to your country here.
If you want to stay longer than allowed period of time you can obtain visa in Immigration Office in Boracay (located next to main road, Station 3, across from Paradize resort). The first time the visa will be extended for up to 59 days including no-visa period. After 59 days you can extend your visa every two months for up to 14 months without leaving the country. Every extension (except the first one) will cost you about 4000 pesos with some additional charges from time to time. The costs may vary by country.
If you stay in Philippines longer than 6 months, you will have to het Exit Permit from Immigration Office (500 pesos in Boracay). You cannot get it in the airport, so you should make sure to go to Immigration Office at least couple of days before your departure. If you stay in Philippines longer than 12 months you can only get Exit Permit in Manila.
Another important thing to remember is that there are airport fees not included in international ticket's price. Make sure you have enough cash to pay for it. It's about 800 pesos in Manila and a bit less in Kalibo.
Philippines have 3 seasons – Dry season (December – April), Summer (May – June) and Rainy season (July – November). Months of January and February are much cooler with temperature dropping to around 25 at night. If you come to Boracay Island to kite and are planning to spend a lot of time in the water, it's better to have 2-3mm wetsuit with you as it could get quite cold in the water especially in gloomy days.
Summer brings super hot days with no wind on either of sides of the island. The temperature could reach 35 degrees celsius, and the feel temperature could be even higher.
The rainy season brings storms and typhoons at times and it could be raining for few days in a row. But don't be scared, most of time the rains are short and bring the relief for the heat plus you can enjoy much emptier island. What is important to remember that during rainy season wind comes from White Beach side (Habagat wind) which means there will be wave breaker on White Beach.
The best time for kitesurfing lessons on Bulabog Beach, Boracay is December – March. October, November and April are usually windy as well with less kiters on the water but with some days without wind. In Habagat season (rainy season) the wind is on another side – White Beach. The sea has waves and it's more suitable for experienced kitesurfers, but you can still learn kitesurfing there but in a bit more difficult conditions.
The national currency of Philippines is Philippine Peso (PHP). Dollar costs about 44.5 PHP, while Euro is about 50 PHP. Find out the current currency exchange rates here.
The exchange rates in Boracay are far from being the best. So if you travel thru Manila it's better to change money there. It's also nearly impossible to exchange pesos to the other currency.
There are several ATM machines in D'mall area. In ATMs of BPI bank you can usually withdraw up to 20,000 pesos in one take with additional fee of 200 pesos. During the peak season the maximum amount could be decreased to 10,000 or even 5,000 pesos in order to accommodate more people.
There are many business establishments accepting payments by credit and debit cards, but remember that some of them charge additional 3-4% per transaction in order to cover bank fees.
The water in most of areas of Philippines is not suitable for drinking. Water quality in Boracay is quite good and many expats and locals drink the tap water without any problems. But it's advisable for tourists to drink bottled water. If you don't to spend too much money on water we recommend to use one of the water refill stations. Bring your bottle and refill it with purified water for the fraction of cost of new bottle.
Be careful with ice here in smaller establishments because some of them might use tap water for ice.
Local filipino food is generally not spicy but in cheaper establishments is could be quite oily, with a lot of sugar and MSG use.
There are a lot of restaurants with different cuisines all around the island but especially on White Beach. In our blog we will be giving our advises about the places which worth visiting. If you are fan of sea food we don't recommend to have it in beach restaurants (especially those with buffets). The best would be to go to sea food market (D'Talipapa), choose your own fresh sea food, which you can cook in the little restos on the market or request your hotel's restaurant to prepare for you.
Overall in Boracay the are places to eat for any budget stating with tiny local eateries, where you can get a meal for 50-60 pesos up to very expensive restaurants.
No special immunisation is needed for Boracay. The one thing to be aware of here is Dengue, especially during rainy season if you stay in residential areas. Dengue is carried by mosquitos, so to protect yourself from it make sure you apply mosquito repellant when outside.
There are currently no proper hospitals in Boracay, therefore make sure to have good insurance especially if you do kitesurfing which will cover transportation costs to Kalibo, IloIlo or Manila. The minor health issues could be handled in the local clinics.
There two national languages in Philippines – Tagalog and English. In Boracay you will easily get by speaking English which could be different case in other provinces. Locals here also speak Visayas.
The most common means of transportation on Boracay Island is tricycle – motorized vehicle which can fit 4 people comfortably and up to 7. In the past couple of years some tricycles are been replaced by e-trikes, which are more comfortable and don't harm environment as much. We hope this trend will continue.
The private tricycle ride along White Beach and near by areas costs 75 pesos, while to get to Diniwid beach or Jetty Port will cost you 100 pesos. If you commute by yourself and want to save money you can take public tricycle which costs 10 pesos per person around White Beach area.
You can also take motorbike ride, but those are not legal here and considered to be more accident prone.
Rentals of motorbikes are quite expensive here in comparison with other parts of Philippines as well as other asian countries. Boracay Island is quite small and you can easily go around using public transportation.

Syria's government has condemned the capture of Afrin by the Turkish military, calling on Ankara to "immediately" pull out troops from the northwestern Syrian city.
The Syrian Foreign Ministry voiced strong opposition to Turkey's takeover of Afrin in two letters to the United Nations on Monday, protesting the move as "illegitimate."
"Syria condemns the Turkish occupation of Afrin and the crimes it is committing there, and demands the invading forces immediately withdraw from the Syrian territory they occupied," the ministry said in its letters, according to the Syrian official news agency SANA.
"Turkey's behavior and attacks do not only threaten citizens and the unity of Syria's land and people -- they also prolong the war on Syria as a service to terrorism and its supporters," it added.
The remarks were made a day after Turkish soldiers, backed by members of the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) militia, captured the city from Kurdish militants, particularly those of the People's Protection Units (YPG).
Damascus has on several occasions criticized Ankara for its military offensive on Syrian soil, accusing it of supporting "terrorist" groups.
This picture taken on March 19, 2018, shows a man looking at the damage in the Syrian city of Afrin a day after Turkish-led forces entered the city.
Turkey launched the so-called Operation Olive Branch in Syria's Afrin on January 20 in a bid to eliminate the YPG, which Ankara views as a terror organization and the Syrian branch of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).
Over 280 civilians have lost their lives since the offensive began, according to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan vowed on Monday to further expand military operations against Kurdish militants in Syria to the eastern parts of the Arab country such as Manbij and Ayn al-Arab or Kobani.
Turkey vows to expand Syria op to eastern regions
Turkey vows to expand military operations against Kurdish militants in Syria and threatens to send troops to Iraq as well.
"Operation Olive Branch" is Turkey's second major military intervention in Syria during the unprecedented foreign-backed militancy that broke out in the Arab country in 2011.
In August 2016, Turkey began a unilateral military intervention in northern Syria, code-named Operation Euphrates Shield, sending tanks and warplanes across the border. Ankara claimed that its military campaign was aimed at pushing the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group from Turkey's border with Syria and stopping the advance of Kurdish militants, who were themselves fighting Daesh.
Turkey ended its campaign in northern Syria in March 2017, but at the time did not rule out the possibility of yet another military offensive inside the Arab country.

Q: Entity Framework doesn't get original entity when comparing changes I am working on History model where I get an entity, change it, then get the same entity again as original and compare it to record changes. But I end up with 0 changes and after some investigating, I have found that Entity Framework doesn't get the original entity. It gives me the same one. Here is my code.
Here I make changes
public async Task<bool> AssignUserAsync(string userId, int ticketId, string changesAuthor)
        {

            var ticket = await GetByIdAsync(ticketId);
            ticket.AssignedUserId = userId;
            ticket.Status = Status.Assigned;
            var result = await Update(ticket, changesAuthor);
            return result;
        }

Here I call the Update History method
 public async Task<bool> Update(Ticket ticket, string user)
            {
            if (ticket == null)
                //throw exception
                return false;

            var ticketChanges = GetTicketChanges(await GetByIdAsync(ticket.Id), ticket, user);

            await UpdateHistory(ticketChanges);
            ticket.DateUpdated = DateTimeOffset.Now;

            var result = await _ticketRepository.UpdateAsync(ticket);
            return result;
        }

This is my GetById
public async Task<Ticket> GetByIdAsync(int id)
    {
        return await _db.Tickets
            .Include(p => p.Project)
            .Include(t => t.Comments)
            .Include(p=>p.AssignedUser)
            .FirstOrDefaultAsync(p => p.Id == id);
    }

Here Original and ticket to compare are the same one. I checked the db and AssignedUserId was different.
  public List<History> GetTicketChanges(Ticket originalTicket, Ticket ticketToCompare, string changesAuthor)
        {
            List<History> ticketChanges = new();

            if (originalTicket == null || ticketToCompare == null)
                //throw exception
                return ticketChanges;

            var history = new History
            {
                DateCreated = DateTimeOffset.Now,
                User = changesAuthor,
                TicketId = ticketToCompare.Id
            };

I removed the long part where I compare the two entities.
What am I doing wrong, or how could I get the original?

A: This code won't work as you expect because by default the DbContext is tracking the initial instance which you are updating, so telling the DbContext to retrieve the instance again will return the same reference you just updated.
For example:
using (var context = new AppDbContext())
{
    var ticket1 = context.Tickets.Single(ticketId);
    var ticket2 = context.Tickets.Single(ticketId);
    Assert.AreSame(ticket1, ticket2); // NUnit ReferenceEquals
}

This would assert true as the DbContext would return the same reference. Editing ticket1 would result in the changes being seen on ticket2.
Alternatively:
using (var context = new AppDbContext())
{
    var ticket1 = context.Tickets.AsNoTracking().Single(ticketId);
    var ticket2 = context.Tickets.AsNoTracking().Single(ticketId);
    Assert.AreSame(ticket1, ticket2); // NUnit ReferenceEquals
}

This assert would fail as the instance returned would not be tracked so you would receive different instances.
Actions like tracking changes can be done fairly easily by overriding the DbContext OnSaveChanges method and using the ChangeTracker to inspect what entities of interest might have been updated, added, or deleted, then inspecting  their contents to build an audit record. This saves you the hassle of loading entities again to compare. However, the caveat of this approach is that it's only practical to record audit changes at a per-entity basis, not across a related graph of entities. What this means is that the change tracker for a ticket will let you record the deltas for changes made to the Ticket, but not inherently the child references of the ticket. (those would be tracked individually in the change tracker)
Your problem is compounded by the structure you are using, trying to isolate everything into reused methods. I had a stab at what minimal changes might be used to get it working, but honestly it ended up even more tangled as you would have to start detaching and re-attaching references. In general it is not a good idea to design around reloading multiple separate references to the same entity.   Working with detached entities would solve this issue, but I generally don't recommend that approach as it can lead to complexity trying to attach and detach entire object graphs. (entities and their related references) I would recommend looking at doing the change tracking from the DbContext, and allow it to resolve the current user from session state, (if a web app) otherwise the currently logged in user rather than passing variables through various method chains.

What do gamers and lab rats have in common?
By Brandon Erickson on October 10, 2007 in Blogs
I could be wrong, but it seems like an increasing number of videogames these days are using one or more forms of operant conditioning, and in particular positive reinforcement. (For those who don't know, operant conditioning is basically the use of rewards and punishments as a way to increase or decrease the occurrence of a behavior—e.g., if a rat gets a food pellet every time it pushes a lever, then it will keep pushing the lever.) Although reward systems have long been a mainstay of the role-playing game (RPG) genre, their use has been gradually spreading.
There are obvious advantages to using positive reinforcement in videogames. Ascending a level in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion gives the player a sense of accomplishment and a heightened desire to keep playing. Without that reward, the experience would feel less compelling. A reward system also reassures players that their time will eventually pay off, which is something that games relying on technical skill can't always guarantee. The player who gets stuck in Ninja Gaiden will be less likely to quit if there is an experience system to fall back on, such as in Devil May Cry.
In God of War, players gain red orbs for defeating enemies, which can then be used as a form of currency to buy weapon upgrades. As players advance, they get more chances to find chests, which contain anything from more red orbs to health and magic upgrades. This system illustrates all sorts of operant conditioning, including continuous, fixed-ratio, and variable-ratio reinforcement (the latter of which is the same addictive principle on which slot machines operate). These systems don't need to be there, but their presence certainly adds an extra layer of interest.
The weapon upgrade system in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal had a lot to do with why I played that game as much as I did. Resident Evil 4 has its own weapon upgrades. Burnout Revenge awards players with new cars and tracks for collecting stars, and even Shadow of the Colossus—often noted for its minimalist design—employs its own reinforcement schedule in the form of health and stamina increases. The list could go on, but suffice it to say that operant conditioning is reaching the point of being a design imperative for a number of developers.
What still puzzles me about all this is why it works as well as it does. There are very few primary reinforcers (e.g., food, water, sex, etc.) in the world. According to traditional behavioral psychology, a so-called secondary reinforcer (e.g., money) only works through its association with primary reinforcers. Leveling up a character in a videogame, however, doesn't seem to have any clear connection to getting food and water. Nevertheless, many gamers (myself included sometimes) feel a strong compulsion to build the strength and stats of their characters.
Of course, positive reinforcement in videogames doesn't work with everyone. Some people find leveling up in RPGs incredibly tedious and repetitive. Maybe what's going on with people who respond well to these rewards systems is that they get greater than average satisfaction from completing challenging tasks, which in turn releases adrenaline. Or maybe these people just have a looser grip on reality when immersed in a game. For them, earning virtual gold may still trigger some of the same chemical pathways that would be triggered by getting money in real life.
Whatever the underlying neurochemical basis, however, it's clear that developers have fallen in love with these positive reinforcement systems. This isn't necessarily a problem in and of itself. The problem is when these systems are shoehorned into games in which they really don't belong. When RPG-type elements are senselessly added to a game for the sole purpose of lengthening the experience, then the overall product usually suffers. Positive reinforcement is just one of the many tools at a game maker's disposal. There's a right way and a wrong way to use it.

Hi there, Interresting, you could be right about the neurological implications. Also, what do you think about people who like playing games? I mean, isn't playing video games like other activities like social activities or sports? I mean in the sense that we enjoy doing them for a number of reasons, which, can involve feeling better about ourselves, expressing ourselves, maybe also "forgetting" about what's difficult in life, I didn't really mean escape reality completely, at least only for let's say once in a while you know? When I play squash every saturday, I forget about everything for an hour,… Read more »

The Association for Students of Egyptology was founded with the aim to bring together as many students of Egyptology as possible, from all over the world. We aim to do this by creating a large online network as well as by organising events where students feel comfortable to meet, present and share their research in order to contribute to the field and get to know their colleagues better. To be part of a group of people who are equally passionate about something is a great privilege.
Archaeology, heritage, art history, material culture, museum studies and all the other different aspects of the field of Egyptology are all as essential to it as is being able to share your research. By denying access to a number of countries to enter any country, the government is physically restraining this research from being shared and preventing colleagues in the field to mingle. The ASE feels that this sets back scientific development, discoveries and progress immensely. Not only does it physically restrain our colleagues, it also makes for a hostile environment, as citizens of the banned countries feel offended, attacked and under appreciated. This is by no means supported by ASE. We were founded to unite all different students, and we therefore strongly condemn any actions that go against this principle.
The ASE strongly hopes that all students of Egyptology feel that they should be united and not divided. We hope that our online platform will make every student feel welcome and encourage them to keep sharing their research to improve our scientific developments.

The new system posesses similar language (Express, Low latency), similar route and the same timing, but much larger capacity. It is now clear that this is not the case. The herein press release tells us the full story behind the new transatlantic project!
"The Emerald Express system's combination of a 100x100G per fiber pair design and 'great circle' routing for optimized trans-Atlantic low latency will enable Emerald Atlantis to meet the tremendous demand for bandwidth driven by cloud services, while providing Iceland with the required connectivity to support the anticipated explosive growth of low cost, 100% carbon free, renewable energy powered data centers, in which the Wellcome Trust, Emerald Atlantis' largest shareholder and strategic partner, has a major investment," said Greg Varisco, EA, President.
It is all about cloud services and big data centers to be installed in Iceland, taking advantage of low cost energy. Then the 100X100!
I sort of like this 100X100. Simple, clear, square! I need to congratulate whomever chose this formula, the same way I think the "cloud" is a very well designed word! We used to have 96 or 128, figures which had a kind of technical logic behind them. I can only guess that there is a gentle touch of marketing skill behind this 100x100. "Could you give me two more for the same price?" "No, I rounded off already for you." I adhere to this new slogan 100 per cent! Big pipes to send our data in the clouds, hoping that it will not turn into a storm of heavy rain falling on our heads.
Once again, our industry is at a significant technology change, swiftly moving from 10G to 40G and now 100G! But it could be also a more fundamental evolution: A new generation for routes and applications! Will Iceland be a very special case, the only one, or are we going to see new submarine cables route reaching data centers located in very remote and exotics places for all kind of good reasons?
Could we see the global network being reconfigured by such a phenomenon? What do you think my friend?


I got a black Billet Tech Oil Catch Can from Megan.. I can't wait to install it tomorrow!
haha yea I'm installing the AFE tomorrow if i can find the time.
Talk about a beautiful day for Christmas, huh?
I got a few little things and some money. The money is going toward the GT/CS bumper covers that are on the way.

The house, "Villa" in Italian, has gone under a restoration process in 1936-8 by architects Piero Bottoni and Mario Pucci, starting from a hunting-lodge of the 1700. Unfortunately the purist volumes of this italian masterpiece of residential rationalist architecture lived few years and survived briefly to the IIWW, when it first become a nazi headquarter and then a bomb destroyed the living room.
In 1979 the green area and from the 1994 the Villa as well are listed under the preservation order.

Heterotypic gap junctions at glutamatergic mixed synapses are abundant in goldfish brain

Gap junctions provide for direct intercellular electrical and metabolic coupling. The abundance of gap junctions at "large myelinated club ending (LMCE)" synapses on Mauthner cells (M-cells) of the teleost brain provided a convenient model to correlate anatomical and physiological properties of electrical synapses. There, presynaptic action potentials were found to evoke short-latency electrical "pre-potentials" immediately preceding their accompanying glutamate-induced depolarizations, making these the first unambiguously identified "mixed" (i.e., chemical plus electrical) synapses in the vertebrate CNS. We recently showed that gap junctions at these synapses exhibit asymmetric electrical resistance (i.e., electrical rectification), which we correlated with total molecular asymmetry of connexin composition in their apposing gap junction hemiplaques, with connexin35 (Cx35) restricted to axon terminal hemiplaques and connexin34.7 (Cx34.7) restricted to apposing M-cell plasma membranes. We now show that similarly heterotypic neuronal gap junctions are abundant throughout goldfish brain, with labeling exclusively for Cx35 in presynaptic hemiplaques and exclusively for Cx34.7 in postsynaptic hemiplaques. Moreover, the vast majority of these asymmetric gap junctions occur at glutamatergic axon terminals. The widespread distribution of heterotypic gap junctions at glutamatergic mixed synapses throughout goldfish brain and spinal cord implies that pre- vs. postsynaptic asymmetry at electrical synapses evolved early in the chordate lineage. We propose that the advantages of the molecular and functional asymmetry of connexins at electrical synapses that are so prominently expressed in the teleost CNS are unlikely to have been abandoned in higher vertebrates. However, to create asymmetric coupling in mammals, where most gap junctions are composed of connexin36 (Cx36) on both sides, would require some other mechanism, such as differential phosphorylation of connexins on opposite sides of the same gap junction or on asymmetric differences in the complement of their scaffolding and regulatory proteins.

Q: How to fetch the data from database using OOPS and PDO concepts in PHP How to fetch the data from database using OOPS and  PDO concepts in PHP :
       I want to retrieve the data from database and display in views-one .php page
        using OOPS and  PDO concepts.
**controller-one **
<?php
public function display_reports()           // declaring function
 {
try {
  $sql = "SELECT * FROM date WHERE 1";      //query selection

  $query = $this->db->prepare($sql);
  $query->execute();
  $data=$query->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC); //fetching the data from the table

while($row = $query->fetch()){  //i am getting error here

  $id = $row->event_id;         //fetching one coloumn
  $start = $row->start_date;     //fetching one coloumn
  }
}catch (Exception $e) {

} ?>

created the function in above and calling here to display in webpage,
  **views-one **
 $rows = $this->reportsmodel->display_reports();      //calling function here

here i am getting errors these 2 eerors,
         Notice: Undefined variable: id ,
         Notice: Trying to get property of non-object
         Notice: Undefined variable: start
         Notice: Trying to get property of non-object
        I want to display data in loop. I am new to OOPs in PHP and i want to practice                          more. i try to use while and for loop.i am not getting data.can anyone help me with this? thank you.

A: Here a solution :
public function display_reports(){
    $query = $this->db->prepare("SELECT * FROM date WHERE 1");
    $query->execute();

    return $query->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_OBJ); // return an array of objects
}

// In the view
$rows = $this->reportsmodel->display_reports();

foreach($rows as $row){ //for each object in the array
    echo $row->id;
}


The project's budget was modest, and the design had to be efficient and relatively simple to construct. The approach was to make the building as square as possible, with select incisions to help articulate the massing. The windows are placed at a variety of heights, and they're organized and collected by metal datums that circle the exterior.

Hesketh 308 Photobook, out now!
After many months of research and work, Volume 1: Hesketh 308 (1975) is finished! Take a look at it here.
This has taken longer than I hoped due to the vast amount of photos, documents and other material I have had to bring together from 1997, right through to the present day (seventeen years). Many of the photographs were confined to 35mm negative SLR format and had to be scanned into digital form. There has been a variety of strands of thought coming together and running in parallel across more than a decade – the research and original inspiration, various key personnel, the model itself, the changing Race Preparation workshops looking after the car and Lord Hesketh himself. The result is a book presenting a favourite car, weaving these various concepts and experiences together to bring an interesting interaction between our hobby, the car itself and plenty of special folk involved with the car over the decades. I hope therefore you enjoy reading my account.
Should you wish to purchase a copy from myself (£70 excl P&P), drop me a line and I will make sure you receive one. The main motive for this book was to begin the series with volume 1 for my personal library (adding to Vol 4 re the 1972 McLaren M19C); additional purchases would be a bonus, not the prime purpose and I would be happy to make the extra effort acquiring them for anyone interested.
My next aim is to begin Vol 2 re the McLaren M23's (1974 and 1976) later in the year. However, only one or two books per year is realistic, such is the workload.

Lots of broken links and no communication. Seems like it would be a great unit if those were fixed. We are having a great time going through the Evolution unit but are at a dead stop in this specific one. I am afraid to purchase a different one to work on because of the broken links in this one. If I cannot get communication soon or see these links fixed, although the other unit, Evolution, has been fabulous, I wouldn't give my money to them again for fear I'd get another dead stop. Bottom line, these seem like great units, if only I could get the content supposedly offered in this one specifically. I rated the Evolution unit a four. This one, full of broken links, has potential but is currently close to useless.
We are having a great time using this curriculum. I have only encountered one broken link so far, but am only about half way through the first series of lessons. This curriculum is being used with one individual student (second grade level) and I think that one similar will work very well with multiple children, as many of the links lead to premade lessons for classrooms. I will point out that I haven't had to purchase anything particularly special, and things requiring purchases have been adaptable for use with things around the house, with a little ingenuity. I will point out that I have emailed about the broken links and have gotten no response, but it hasn't been problematic yet in this unit study (my issue is with a social studies unit). I would easily rate this a five, if only I could get communication and the links fixed.

TRUTH: WH Deputy Spox: Mexican Government "Is Doing More to Protect American People than the Democrats" (VIDEO)
by Jim Hoft December 22, 2018
White House Deputy Spokesman Hogan Gidley went on FOX and Friends Saturday morning to discuss the latest Democrat shutdown.
President Trump promised to shut down the government if there was no funding for border security and a barrier wall.
The shutdown of 25% of the government workforce is now in its 9th hours.
Hogan Gidley: What he repeatedly has said is he demands some type of security for the nation. That includes a wall… What we have now is a government being shut down by a handful of Democrats who refuse to stand up and protect the American people… I'm less concerned about the political argument and more concerned about the American people and that's where the president sits. I do think it should be noted. So many people didn't cover this. The United States under Donald Trump's leadership and also with help from Secretary Nielson entered into a deal with Mexico where people coming for asylum into this country through Mexico are now held in Mexico until their case is adjudicated in the United States. That saves America billions of dollars but it also shows us a coupe things. That the Mexican government is now doing more to help our immigration system and doing more to protect the American people than the Democrats.

After setback, Macron unveils new pick for key EU post
President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday put forward businessman and former economy minister Thierry Breton as France's candidate for a key European Commission portfolio after his first choice was shot down by the European Parliament.
Macron proposed Breton to incoming commission head Ursula von der Leyen for the ambitious portfolio covering industrial policy, defence spending, technology and space, an Elysee Palace official said.
The portfolio, which Macron fought hard for, remains unchanged.
Macron and Von der Leyen had agreed on Breton's "profile," the official said, adding: "If we are proposing this candidate, he is suitable."
Two weeks ago, European Parliament lawmakers voted to reject Macron's first pick for the Brussels post, Sylvie Goulard, in a rare political defeat for the French leader on the European stage.
A former MEP, Goulard resigned in June 2017 from a short stint as France's defence minister after claims she and other members of the centrist MoDem party were using European parliamentary funds to pay assistants who were actually based in France.
She was questioned by French investigators in September and is also under scrutiny by the EU Anti-Fraud Office, although she has not been charged.
Breton, 64, is credited with turning around the debt-laden former state monopoly France Telecom, now Orange, and leading it to privatisation.
He has served as a director on many boards and led French computer-maker Bull as well as Thomson Multimedia before serving as economy minister under Jacques Chirac from 2005 to 2007.
He now heads digital firm Atos, a group with head offices outside Paris and in Munich, where he has doubled turnover to more than 12 billion euros ($13.4 billion) and staff numbers to 122,000.
But Atos is an IT service provider to the EU and Breton's nomination has raised questions about potential conflicts of interest.
- 'Complicated' -
The vetting process "will be complicated, once again," said Yannick Jadot, a European parliamentarian from France's EELV green party.
"Thierry Breton is the CEO of Atos, it is a digital company that receives European grants, that is a European leader in supercomputers, also with European grants. And in his portfolio, what do we have? Digital."
Another MEP, Manon Aubry of the hard-left France Unbowed party, criticised the candidature of a boss of a listed company "that receives millions of European grants".
Macron, whose new nominee will be vetted by European lawmakers in the coming weeks, dismissed the conflict of interest concerns.
"The question that will be asked, and to which he will answer fully, is: 'Has he cut all personal ties to the company, and on which subjects will he have to recuse himself?'" the president said Thursday during a visit to France's Reunion island.
- 'Committed European' -
The Elysee official said Breton "has solid skills in all the areas covered by the portfolio, particularly industry and high tech", adding that he is a "committed European" and "a man of action".
Breton said Thursday that he was "working on preparing for the hearings", adding he was "very honoured" by the trust placed in him.
"For Europe and for all our fellow European citizens, I appreciate the importance of the challenges associated with this portfolio for the future of our country."
The vetting of the EU's 28 commissioners, one for each member country, has taken longer than expected, and the EU executive is now expected to start its work on December 1, a month later than initially planned.
MEPs also rejected the candidates from Hungary and Romania last month.


Four workers in the middle of a maintenance operation ended up injured suffering from burns from a caustic chemical at the Axiall Natrium Facility in Marshall County, WV, Friday.
The injuries occurred when the workers suffered exposure to a caustic soda solution. Two of the workers went to the West Penn Burn Center in Pittsburgh, one ended up treated at a local hospital and another released after treatment at the scene.
There is no word on the severity of the injuries.
Axiall, headquartered in Atlanta, GA, has manufacturing facilities located throughout North America and in Asia.

Prosecutor Dismisses War Crimes Case against Riwal [Israel & Palestine]
Today, the Dutch Public Prosecutor announced the decision to dismiss the case against Lima Holding B.V., Riwal's parent company, for involvement in Israeli war crimes...According to the complaint, filed in 2010 in the Netherlands by Advocate Liesbeth Zegveld on behalf of Al-Haq, the Dutch company participated in the commission of war crimes and crimes against humanity by virtue of its contribution to Israel's illegal practices in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. While Al-Haq is disappointed with the decision of the Prosecutor not to pursue criminal charges at this time, we welcome the important steps taken by the Prosecution in investigating the complaint for three years...Having established that the company and its directors contributed to the construction of the Annexation Wall and Israeli settlements in the OPT in at least the six incidents identified in the complaint...[T]he Prosecutor weighed Riwal's contribution against the entire settlement enterprise...the Prosecutor consequently deemed the contribution of the defendants minor.

Q: Remove dots in toc for a particular entry like appendix I am writing my thesis and use the book class under PhDthesisPSnPDF.
I would like to remove the dots in table of contents only for a particular entry like "Appendix". All the entries for chapter and section in the table of contents have dots and page numbers, I need to get rid of page number and the dots for the appendix in the TOC. Is there way to do?

A: A heading command like \section{A} writes a line into the .toc file that looks like this:
\contentsline {section}{\numberline {1.1}A}{2}

when this is read back in \contentsline{section} simply expands to \l@section and that is then the command that picks up the remaining arguments and produces the toc entry.  Most often (but not always) this command is defined as a special instance of \@dottedcontentsline, e.g., in the book class you find:
\newcommand*\l@section{\@dottedtocline{1}{1.5em}{2.3em}}

So to get rid of the dots in some cases there are different approaches possible and the depend on how things are defined and which entries you have to change in reality.
Plan A
Assuming that your toc uses \@dottedtoclinethen to get rid of the dots we can redefine \@dotsep to have a very high number. Assuming further, that we only want to change the sections at the end of the toc and we do not need to have dots appearing later on again. Then the following in front of the appendix in the source document will do the trick:
\makeatletter
\addtocontents{toc}{\def\string\@dotsep{100}}
\makeatother

This will write \def\@dotsep{100} into the toc file and from that point on the dots are gone.
If you need them back at a later point issue
\makeatletter
\addtocontents{toc}{\def\string\@dotsep{4.5}}  % 4.5 might be a different value in your class
\makeatother

Plan B
Make the heading commands in the appendix area or whenever you want a different toc style not write \contentsline{section}but, say, \contentsline{appsection} and then define \l@appsection to format the toc entry according to the desired style.
For this one would need to look for the places in the heading commands that issue \addcontentsline and change that code.
Fairly elaborate but much more general.


At the beginning of combat on your turn, creatures you control named ~ gain +1/0 and trample until end of turn.
~ is unaffected by the legendary rule.
B,T: Put a -1/-1 counter on target creature. If that creature dies this turn, transform Elvish Imperial.
"If we are to remain strong, we must be competitive."
W, T: Put a +1/+1 counter on target creature. If that creature's power is 5 or greater, transform Elvish Exile.
"If we are to remain competitive, we must be strong."
U, T: Remove target creature blocking or blocked by Prince Ufflesnort from combat.
R: Prince Ufflesnort gets +2/+0 and gains trample until end of turn. Activate this ability only once each turn.
, T: Until the start of your next turn, you gain control of target creature, it gains haste & it becomes base 1/1 . If that creature dies before your next turn, its owner draws a card. Activate this ability only any time you could cast a sorcery.
Whenever a red creature enters the battlefield, its controller creates a colorless Treasure artifact token with "T, Sacrifice this artifact: Add one mana of any color."
Whenever a blue creature enters the battlefield, its controller draws a card then discards a card.
Whenever High Queen Bloxitara attacks or blocks, she deals 2 damage to target creature & it gains flying until end of turn.
IIW: The royal family of another obscure tribe.
Whenever a Merfolk you control becomes tapped, look at the bottom card of your library. You may put a card from your hand on top of your library. If you do, put the bottom card of your library into your hand.
5W: Clash with an opponent. If you win, put a number of +1/+1 counters on each Merfolk you control equal to the converted mana cost of the card you won with.
Mergatroid_Jones: Fun callback to Horde of Notions, Its ability is a Fist of Suns type effect but with more flexibility for messing around. Would be interesting to see how this card works in commander. Probably pretty well I reckon.
Sephom19: A legendary mana rock with a very niche ability. Freely removing counters like that has the potential for interesting shenanigans, but aside from the name this doesn't feel very Lorwyn as it wasn't super focused on counters as far as I can remember.
mirrislegend: Very cool card, enables kithkin tribal with Blink shenanigans still being a thing. This card doesn't feel at all blue to me however and that's an issue especially for hybrid cards as they to feel like they could be in either colour. This guy could just cost WWW with no problem.
graffd20: Bumbog is a really cool design and he can get out of hand pretty quickly considering he doubles up over and over again. After two turns down you can swing with four 5/3s with trample if your opponent has no answers and that's actually not too bad. I think you balanced the P/T with the cards abilities well, and the flavour text is pretty funny.
LnGrrrR: I get that you were going for the Lorwyn/Shadowmoor premise for this transform card, but considering the nature of the plane nowadays I think it's unlikely that we'd get something like this. Plus it incorporates +1/+1 counters andn-1/-1 counters together which can be very confusing for set design, and its also not a legendary which was the basis of the challenge.
VolrathTheRisen: heck yeah Noggles! It's cool that you brought them back as a tribe, but these cards don't give me a feel for the tribe especially. Possibly giving your opponents stuff? Snuffleort, Bloxitas and Bloxitara all have abilities that can potentially do that, but it's all in different manner. Ufflesnort (best name) is more interesting because vigilance is hardly an ability for UR, and yet here it's necessary if you want to use its abilities - am I right in thinking the aggressive plan for Ufflesnort is to attack and if it's blocked by something that'll kill it you remove it from combat but still give Ufflesnort trample so he can still deal damage? This are all very interesting creatures and I'm glad someone went for the more obscure tribes.
Void_nothing: Ooh this does fun stuff and I like it. There should be more top/bottom of library shenanigans and this does that well, allowing your Merfolk to act as a reverse Scroll Rack of sorts. The clash ability is insanely powerful. It has the potential to be ridiculous in commander decks with high mana cost cards but should be fine in a constructed format as Merfolk are a more go-wide aggressive tribe with low CMC cards usually. Not that you couldn't attack with all your Merfolk and clash with a Temporal Mastery on top. Considering cards like Kumena and Shalai, I think you could lower the cost of the ability and just reduce it to putting one +1/+1 counter on everyone instead, especially with the amount of card selection and library manipulation this guy offers. Really amazing design though.
Create a token copy of target creature you control. If it has power 2 and toughness 2, create two token copies instead.
Flashback 4UU - Discard a card.
Part of the point of the group was that Noggles have never really had a coherent mechanical theme.
I tried to give Bloxitas something "tribal without being tribal" because, y'know, he's the king.
P.S. There is a specific reason why I like giving vigilance in red!
T: Put a +1/+1 counter on target 2/2 creature.
IIW: Haunt, Extort, or Afterlife.
Wow! I won with my first entry? Thanks so much!
I will plan on judging Monday.
The removal of +1/+1 counters has a similar function to placement of -1/-1 counters. It is a reference to Shadowmoor. The Aurora turned Lorwyn into Shadowmoor. The mana rock was a reference as susch.
Because sometimes 1/1 tribal is 2/2 tribal in disguise.
Halve the power & toughness of each other creature, rounding down for power & up for toughness.
Creatures with power 1 can't be blocked. Creatures with toughness 1 have hexproof.
"Humility is its own reward, my son."
Whenever a creature you control dies, if it's power is 2 or less, return it to your hand at the beginning of the next end step. If that creature's toughness is 2 or less, out it onto the battlefield tapped instead.
Shizo may be a beautiful garden and memorial now, but it's Kami will never forget the horrors that befell its domain.
If you or a permanent you control would be dealt exactly 2 damage, prevent that damage.
R: Creatures with power 2 you control gain double strike until end of turn.
G: Creatures with toughness 2 you control gain hexproof until end of turn.
Reminds me, graffd, you judging today?
Whenever Adragrand attacks, reveal the top card of your library until you reveal a creature card with a power of 2. Put that creature onto the battlefield tapped and attacking, and the rest onto the bottom of your library in a random order. Then, at the end of combat, sacrifice that creature unless it has a toughness of 2.
It's almost 5 days. I'm gonna drop and judge at about 6:30 PM EST if graffd02 doesn't judge.
So sorry that I missed this, I've been sick, will try to judge tonight.
Void_Nothing - Interesting "Shock Hate" I feel like the static ability is uneeded though as the other two abilities are really powerful by themselves and as a 2/2 that comes ddown on turn 2, swinging for 4 on turn 3 and having removal protection is huge.
Winner is Subject16, for a really cool enchantment with a unique effect.
Remove a +1/+1 Counter from ~: Target Creature does not untap during its controller's next untap step.
"Report Note 724b: Made the mistake of laying my lunch, a cucumber, behind subject 14. I Am now covered in a sticky, black ink-like substance"
When ~ enters the battlefield, exile another target creature.
Blubber Maw has all activated abilities of each creature exiled by Blubber Maw.

If there is interest, I'd be happy to do this lecture, pretty much any time, any where. It really is a topic that needs to be taught over and over again.
When I first started doing this, Scott Christopher, Koos DuPrez and Bob Bailey were all giving them.
These lectures are a must attend for any diver. The learning here will stick with you and Influence your thinking and dive planning moving forward. Thank you Peter for doing this.
Man, I wish I had seen this a few days ago. Do you have plans for future lectures?
Just a quick bump to remind everyone there will be a FREE!!! Gas Management Workshop this coming Thursday at Bubbles Below. While I hope people will use the Meet up site to sign up, it is not required.
This is a topic that should be of interest to every diver.
Time very well spent, even if your handy with gas management you'll walk away having found some useful tidbits.
Bubbles Below is hosting a FREE Gas Management (Air Supply Management) lecture on Thursday, January 29 at Bubbles Below in Woodinville. The tentative start time is 6:30 p.m. and should last until 8 or so depending on the amount of discussion and questions.
A. How much air (gas) do you REALLY need for a safety reserve and how do you calculate it?
B. What are the three basic strategies for planning your gas supply for your dive so that you "Plan your dive and Dive your plan?"
C. What is a "SAC Rate," how do you calculate it and what good is knowing it anyway?
I hope to see many people there because learning about, and practicing these dive planning skills, can make you a more comfortable diver.
