The Day 1E Event 1 field is thinning fast following the dinner break and we are inching closer to the money the bubble. There are just 70 players remaining and it's Jordan Phillips leading the way with about 450,000.
Vito Masi is making another strong Foxwoods Mega Stack Challenge showing and is sitting with 275,000. Soheb Porbandarwala is in his words "running good" and he's just climbed over 200,000.
The final 50 Day 1E players will all the make the money and be guaranteed at least $1,200. Day 1 play will come to an end when just 42 players remain and the bagging process will begin.
Day 2 play will resume on Monday December at 11 A.M. with 130 combined Day 1A-F survivors. They'll all be in the money and battle it out until our Event 1 Foxwoods Mega Stack Challenge Champion is crowned.

The Day 1E Event 1 players are now on a one hour dinner break. The field is thinning fast and we are inching closer to the money.
The final 50 Day 1E players will all make the cash and be guaranteed a minimum of $1,200. We are playing down to the final 42 Day 1E players at which time they will bag and tag their chips.

We will pick back up on the live Day 1E action when play resumes at approximately 8:45 P.M.
Martinho Camara holds two Foxwoods Mega Stack Challenge titles already and he wasted no time putting his stack to work here on Day 1E of Event 1.
Camara has been mixing it up in plenty of pots and his aggressive strategy is certainly paying off. He has chipped up to 165,000 and is now one of the biggest stacks in the room.
Three players saw a flop of 9♣8♠5♥ and it checked to the player in the cutoff who bet 3,600 into a main pot of about 7,500. Chris Lim called and Brian Altman check-raised to 11,000.
The cutoff folded and with the action back on Lim he moved all in for 32,400. After giving it some thought Altman called and the hands were shown.
The turn 4♦ and river K♠ sealed the deal for Lim and he secured the double up.
The Final Event 1 Flight Begins at 4 P.M.

Below is a look at some of the Day 1C-D big stacks and players that will be moving on to Day 2.


Coming from a city like Houston, Tx I'm used to noise. I live by a railroad track, the dogs barking, police sirens. Noise stops becoming noise and simply becomes a part of everyday life. Noise will never be the same to me though. I can't sleep so I'm sitting on the 7th floor of my hotel balcony listening to the Atlantic Ocean crash against the shores.
I ate dinner tonight at this restaurant right off the beach. I was literally the only person on the patio. The only person at the restaurant. Twenty feet away from me the waves crashed over a bunch of rocks. I thought to myself, "How do people get used to such beauty." I had a meal of stuffed plantains with shrimp and beans and rice. I noticed two things quickly. Every meal comes with beans and rice and bananas and vegetables.
After dinner tonight I changed and just walked for almost an hour. Careful not to get lost and taking my watch off and putting it in my pocket I wanted to just feel the city. There are no stray dogs though almost every other person I saw walking has one. Iguanas that are maybe 4-6 feet long walk around as though they don't have a worry in the world. The bars are beautiful, almost all of them have some sort of view of the ocean.
I'm 32 and I've never ridden public transportation. But paying 20 dollars every time I hop in a cab isn't the most cost efficient way of traveling so tomorrow I'm hoping on a bus to Old San Juan. Sitting on this beautiful beach or by the perfect pool drinking mojito's all day is appealing but culture and adventure await me! I feel like a child on Christmas Eve. Castles and Forts on the beach, 800 year old museums. I guess it would be cool to downplay my excitement but why front?
I've never flew standby before so this morning I felt like I was waiting on a lottery as I watched the woman at the airport counter to see if she would call my name. It was the scariest feeling ever not having any control. And then rushing through the airport in Miami getting to my connecting flight with 2 minutes left. Sitting on the plane next to a black man from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania that has lived in Puerto Rico for 20 years. Talking his ear off, asking question after question.
I'm not in my comfort zone and earlier that bothered me. But as the day has worn on I've found myself embracing it. My girlfriend is here working so our time together will be spent to evenings and maybe a lunch or waterfall if we can fit it in. I'm proud of her so it doesn't bother me. What would bother me is if I didn't challenge myself to do these amazing things on my on!
Anyway. Today is only the first day and I'm already running my mouth. I have two more nights to chat with you all from my balcony in San Juan.

The ascended Masters were once human beings who preceded us.
They have lived on earth and, after a number of incarnations, which were on a spiritually highly developed level and from which they eventually were able to ascend. They are now light beings which are capable to radiate their consciousness to us and to free themselves of the material world. They are capable to change themselves and the world by inspiring us and performing miracles.
The Masters no longer have to incarnate on earth to acquire further development. They have achieved a development in which there are no limitations and where there is no form and time, no sound and no colors. This level is the dimension of total consciousness and is called the Shamballa of the ascended level.
These "Masters" are not our Masters, but Masters of the path. They are united in their light and their energy and exist in the collective consciousness. The Masters have cast off their character and personality; they are now consciousness and white light, surrounded by the emanation of facets of a brilliant. These facets of the brilliant each represent a small part of a life once lived. Through these windows, the Masters receive experience and knowledge and they send their collective consciousness to earth, so that it can be received through trance and/or channel mediums and people can be informed on their path of development.
in Atlantis in the Temple of "listening mercy"
Maha Chohan is a function executed by an ascended Master for a certain amount of time. Each age, each shift in a culture, each rise and downfall of a culture is assisted by another Master. The Maha Chohan is the assistant and inspiration for the seven Rays, which are strengthened by its being. The ascended Master, which executes this function, inspires and conforms to the time quality of the moment.
At this moment Paolo Veronese, the Venetian Master, is the Maha Chohan.

Świebodzin  (en ) est une ville de la voïvodie de Lubusz, dans l'ouest de la Pologne. Elle est le chef-lieu du powiat de Świebodzin et d'une commune urbaine-rurale appelée gmina de Świebodzin.

Géographie

La ville est située dans l'extrême nord de la région historique de Basse-Silésie, non loin des frontières avec la Grande-Pologne et la Nouvelle-Marche (le pays de Sternberg). Świebodzin se trouve à  au nord-est de Zielona Góra (siège de la diétine régionale),  au nord-ouest de Wrocław,  à l'ouest de Poznań,  à l'est de la frontière allemande et  à l'est de Berlin.

Histoire
La région était colonisée par des tribus slaves au début du Moyen-Âge et faisait partie du premier État polonais des Piast au . Après la mort du duc Boleslas III Bouche-Torse, en 1138, elle appartenait au duché de Silésie.

Un château fort à Świebodzin est évoqué pour la première fois en 1228, lorsque le duc Conrad de Mazovie l'a remis aux chevaliers de l'Ordre de Saint-Jean de Jérusalem, pour leur soutien à la lutte contre les Prussiens. Les nouveaux propriétaires firent construire des fortifications ; la ville de Swebozin fut mentionnée en 1319. Une partie du duché de Głogów dès 1251, le domaine est devenu un fief de la couronne de Bohême après la mort du duc Przemko II en 1331, confirmé quatre ans plus tard par le traité de Trenčín.

La lignée des ducs s'éteignit enfin en 1476 par la mort d'Henri XI de Głogów. Après de longues querelles avec le duc Jean II de Żagań, l'électeur Albert III Achille de Brandebourg, père de la jeune veuve Barbara de Hohenzollern, a pu prendre les territoires environnants de Krosno (Crossen) et de Sulechów (Züllichau), lorsque l'enclave de Świebodzin est toujours soumise à la domination des souverains bohémiens. À partir de 1526, la ville faisait partie intégrante de la monarchie de Habsbourg. Seulement de 1685 à 1694, elle était entre les mains des électeurs de Brandebourg.

Dans la première guerre de Silésie, de 1740 à 1742, la seigneurie de Świebodzin a été conquise par l'Armée prussienne sous le roi Frédéric II. À la suite du congrès de Vienne en 1815, la ville silésienne de Schwiebus, conjointement avec Crossen et Züllichau, est incorporée dans le district de Francfort au sein de la province de Brandebourg.

Dévastée par l'Armée rouge vers la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la ville retourne à la république de Pologne avec la mise en œuvre de la ligne Oder-Neisse en 1945. La population d'origine allemande est expulsée et remplacée par des polonais. De 1975 à 1998, la ville appartenait administrativement à la voïvodie de Zielona Góra. Depuis 1999, il appartient administrativement à la voïvodie de Lubusz.

Statue du Christ-Roi

La ville est connue pour abriter, depuis 2010, la plus haute statue du Christ-Roi au monde. Celle-ci mesure , supérieure de six mètres au Christ Rédempteur de Rio de Janeiro, et repose sur une butte artificielle de . Elle est surmontée d'une couronne dorée de  de hauteur.

PLAnetary Transits and Oscillations of stars (PLATO) — запланований Європейським космічним агентством космічний телескоп, який за допомогою групи фотометрів виявлятиме і характеризуватиме екзопланети всіх типів і розмірів у системах жовтих та помаранчевих карликів, подібних до нашого Сонця. Телескоп планується запустити в 2026 році. на ракеті Союз-Фрегат, а потім розмістити в точці Лагранжа L2.

Ця місія буде відрізнятися від "COROT" і "Кеплер" тим, що вона вивчатиме порівняно яскраві зірки (від 8 до 11 зоряної величини), полегшуючи таким чином підтвердження своїх відкриттів за допомогою методу доплерівської спектроскопії. Телескоп матиме набагато більше поле зору, ніж «Кеплер» (поле зору якого становить 100 квадратних градусів), що дозволить йому вивчати ширшу вибірку зірок. Різні версії проекту припускають спостереження зірок в області неба порядку 1250-3600 квадратних градусів, таким чином, можливе відстеження кривих блиску до 260 000 прохолодних карликів і субгігантів (Кеплер спостерігає 25000 зірок цих типів).

Soler, Braves overcome Morton injury to top Astros in Game 1
Daniel Shirey / Major League Baseball / Getty
HOUSTON (AP) — A healthy swing by Jorge Soler powered the Atlanta Braves to a smashing start in the World Series.
In the lineup for the first time since a positive COVID-19 test, Soler became the first player to begin a World Series with a home run and the Braves, despite the loss of pitcher Charlie Morton to a broken leg, hushed the Houston Astros 6-2 Tuesday night in Game 1.
Boosted by a strong bullpen effort, Adam Duvall's two-run homer and a late sacrifice fly from Freddie Freeman, the Braves coasted in their first Series appearance since Chipper Jones and their Big Three aces ascended in 1999.
"So much happened really quick," Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said.
Jose Altuve, Carlos Correa and the Astros mostly looked lost at the plate. This is their third World Series in five seasons — and first since their 2017 illegal sign-stealing scheme was revealed.
Before the game, Major League Baseball Commissioner Rob Manfred said there were plenty of sleuths monitoring the dugouts, clubhouses and stands to guard against any possible shenanigans.
"There's a lot more people watching what goes on as a result of the issues that we've had," he said.
Game 2 is Wednesday night, with Braves lefty Max Fried starting against right-hander José Urquidy.
"You've just got to like blow this game off and then come back and realize that tomorrow's — that's the beauty of baseball," 72-year-old Astros manager Dusty Baker said. "Tomorrow's another day, and who knows? That's the way I look at it. Ball's going to bounce our way tomorrow."
Soler's no-doubt jolt into the left-field seats on Framber Valdez's third pitch quickly took all the juice out of Minute Maid Park, quieting a boisterous, sellout crowd.
Fresh off dispatching the defending World Series champion Dodgers in the playoffs, the Braves weren't done, either. Aggressive in every way, they kept teeing off against their former, longtime National League rivals.
Moments later, Ozzie Albies stole a base and Austin Riley hit an RBI double, taking a rare swing at a 3-0 pitch.
Soler, who missed five playoff games after testing positive for the coronavirus, added an RBI grounder in the second. And when Duvall launched a two-run homer, it was 5-0 and the Braves had made even more October history — the only team to score in each of the first three innings in a World Series opener.
"Against this club here, I'd rather get a 5-0 lead after the seventh inning than when we did because they have so much time to come back and it's such a dangerous team. That 5-0 feels like 1-0, quite honestly, to me just because of the club they are," Snitker said.
At that point, Braves batters were far from the only ones making noise. The few Atlanta fans sprinkled in the sea of orange had started their familiar chop chant, too.
By then, it looked as if everything was going right for the Braves.
But baseball can be a fickle game, and the fates can spin faster than the best curveball.
Because in the bottom of the third, Atlanta absorbed its own big hit.
As he struck out Altuve, Morton suddenly grimaced and took an awkward step. His teammates, Snitker and a trainer soon joined him on the mound, and just like that, Morton was gone.
Turned out a hard comebacker by Yuli Gurriel that ricocheted off Morton's leg to Freeman at first base for an out to begin the second had done more damage than anyone realized.
Morton stayed in for another inning, amazingly, before gingerly walking off with a fractured right fibula. The 37-year-old righty, the winning pitcher for the Astros in Game 7 of the 2017 World Series, will be replaced on the roster. He's expected to be OK for spring training.
"God bless him, I hate it for him. Really hate it for him," Snitker said. "He's such a great person, great person and teammate. I do, I really hate it for him because I know he's really looking forward to this run with us."
A.J. Minter replaced Morton and got the win, permitting one run in 2 2/3 innings while throwing a career-high 43 pitches. Atlanta relievers Luke Jackson, Tyler Matzek and Will Smith finished it.
Altuve and the Astros did little all night. The All-Star second baseman struck out three times — he'd never done that in 73 prior postseason games.
Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez and the Astros never seriously threatened in the later innings. Their only runs, in fact, came on shortstop Dansby Swanson's fielding error in the fourth and Correa's groundout in the eighth.
The game wasn't nearly as close as the score indicated. It was more like a romp — during the seventh-inning stretch, as fans did a sing-a-long to "Deep In The Heart of Texas," Braves backup catcher William Contreras locked arms with starter Travis d'Arnaud and did a little Texas two-step as they switched places warming up Jackson.
STATS AND STUFF
It was the first World Series action with a packed stadium since Game 7 at this very park in 2019, when a sellout crowd silently filed out after watching the Nationals rally past Houston. That night, the biggest mystery was why manager A.J. Hinch didn't summon ace Gerrit Cole from the bullpen — soon after, a lot of people had a lot bigger questions about the Astros. ... Soler and Duvall became the first teammates both acquired midseason to homer in the same World Series game. ... Soler returned late in the NLCS and went 1 for 2 with a double in a pair of pinch-hit appearances. ... The Astros fell to 0-4 in World Series openers. ... No team has won a World Series game in its own park since the Dodgers beat Boston in 18 innings in Game 3 of 2018. The visiting team won every game in 2019, and last year's Series was played at a neutral site in Arlington, Texas.
Braves: Fried finished strong down the stretch and excelled in two playoff starts, but then faltered in Game 5 of the NLCS at Dodger Stadium. With a chance to clinch, the Atlanta ace gave up five runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Astros: Urquidy was tagged by Boston for six runs over 1 2/3 innings in his previous start in Game 3 of the ALCS. He has postseason pedigree, though, pitching five scoreless innings as a rookie to beat Washington in Game 4 of the 2019 World Series.

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child to open in 2016

JK Rowling has announced her Harry Potter stage play will open in London's West End next year.
Called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, it will tell the "untold part" of the boy wizard's story, including the story of the lives of his murdered parents.
However, the author said on Twitter the play was "not a prequel".
It will run at the Palace Theatre in the summer of 2016, with tickets on sale this autumn.
Rowling said she chose to make the announcement on Friday because it was "a very special day" - the 18th anniversary of when her debut book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was first published in the UK.
But she was tight-lipped about the plot of the play, saying she did not "want to say too much more, because I don't want to spoil what I know will be a real treat for fans".
She added: "To answer one inevitable (and reasonable!) question - why isn't Cursed Child a new novel? I am confident that when audiences see the play they will agree that it was the only proper medium for the story."
The play was first announced in December 2013, after the author said she had "received countless approaches" over the years "about turning Harry Potter into a theatrical production".
Although the new story has not been written by Rowling, it is a collaboration between herself and writer Jack Thorne - who previously adapted Let The Right One In for the stage and won a Bafta for his work on Channel 4's This is England '88 - and John Tiffany, who will also direct the play.
It will be produced by Sonia Friedman and Colin Callender, and British singer Imogen Heap will provide the music.
Analysis - Tim Masters, entertainment correspondent
The plot details might still be hazy, but there's little doubt Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will have a magical effect at the West End box office.
It will be at the 1,400-seat Palace Theatre, which was home to theatrical blockbuster Les Miserables for a record 19 years.
JK Rowling's success needs no introduction, but the new Harry Potter play reunites the creative dream team behind the stage adaptation of supernatural love story Let The Right One In.
When it comes to West End hits, producer Sonia Friedman has a golden touch. Her biggest successes include Book of Mormon and Sunny Afternoon, while her musical Bend It Like Beckham kicked off to rave reviews this week.
When it opens in summer 2016 the play is likely to spark the kind of Potter-mania that surrounded the release of the books and films.
And it won't end there. The stage show will be closely followed by the Potter film spin-off Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them in November 2016.

"Jack, John and Sonia Friedman are a dream team," Rowling said.
"It has been a huge pleasure to share with them (and soon, with you!) this untold part of Harry's story."
Producers originally said the play would explore "the previously untold story of Harry's early years as an orphan and outcast".
"Featuring some of our favourite characters from the Harry Potter books, this new work will offer a unique insight into the heart and mind of the now legendary young wizard," they said.
The Daily Mail's Baz Bamigboye claimed The Cursed Child would "delve into what happened to Harry's parents before they were killed by Lord Voldemort, forcing an infant Harry to be raised in miserable circumstances by his mother's sister, Petunia, her horrid husband Vernon and their spoiled son Dudley".
Rowling's seven Harry Potter best-sellers were adapted into eight blockbuster films starring Daniel Radcliffe as the boy wizard.
The author is making her screenwriting debut on Potter spin-off film Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, starring Eddie Redmayne, due in cinemas next November.

"All the tastes, emotions and memories of my sportswriting days and my unforgettable sojourn to Spanish Cay came flooding back when I received a manuscript of The Island Remembered. Much more than a cookbook, it's a history of the Island, the Murchisons, and three decades when Spanish Cay was the supreme experience. It's a fun read with lots of pictures and memoirs and the recipes alone make the book worthwhile. It's a reminder of a time and place when people were larger than life one man in particular: Clint Murchison, Jr."

Pool Closing Instructions : Adirondack Pools & Spas, Inc.
Clean the pool and filter. Remove all deck equipment; i.e. ladder, rails, etc.
Add the appropiate closing chemicals. Allow the system to circulate for 2-3 hours before proceeding. Be sure you understand the correct order and procedure for adding the chemicals.
Shut off the pump and turn off the breaker. If you only shut off the timer the pump will usually turn on after 24 hours. Be sure to shut off the breaker to the pump.
Remove the directionals and baskets from the pool. Place the directionals in the skimmer basket for winter storage.
Perform steps 5-8 to winterize any underground plumbing. If your system is below the pool's water level ask us for special closing instructions.
Disconnect the return line from the filter. Using a strong shop vac, blow out the return lines. You should notice air bubbling into the pool.
Using winterizing plugs, plug each line starting with the one which blew out air first. Do not shut off the blower until the last plug is installed.
Disconnect the pipe from the front of the pump, or through the pump housing, blow the suction lines seperately and plug the skimmers using gizzmos. If your pool has a bottom drain, completely shut off the drain line valve while blowing out the line to create an air lock.
Pour at least 1/2 gallon of non-toxic pool line anti-freeze into the suction lines and 1/2 gallon into the return lines.
Perform step 9-12 only if you have an above ground pool.
Drain the pool a couple of inches below the skimmer.
Remove the directional from the wall fitting and install a threaded plug.
Install a winter freeze plate on the skimmer. Remove the hose from the bottom of the skimmer and remove the hose connected to the return fitting at the pool wall.
Install the air pillow (optional).
For all pools perform step 13-15.
Remove the drain plug from the bottom of the filter. Place the multi-port valve (if it exists) between two postions or remove it from the filter. Store the pressure gauge indoors.
Remove the drain plugs from the pump, chlorinator, and heater. Place the plugs in the pump basket for storage. Install the pool's winter cover. On above ground pools, be sure the covers' cable does not run under the skimmer or return fitting. We strongly recommend wall bags instead of cover cables.
Periodically drain off the cover. Keep it drained in the fall and again in the spring. Do not fill water tubes, bags, or air pillows more the 2/3 full.

Chow Tai Fook Taps into Tokyo Tourism
RAPAPORT... Chow Tai Fook will open its first branded store in Japan in an effort to reap the benefits of increased spending by Chinese tourists there.
The Hong Kong-based jeweler will launch an outlet inside one of 40 stores operated by Japanese tax-free retailer Laox. The debut store will be located in Laox WATCH, a specialty timepiece shop in the Shinjuku neighborhood of central Tokyo, Chow Tai Fook said Tuesday.
A drop in the value of the yen has made Japan a more attractive destination for Chinese tourists, who have been heading there in increasing numbers. Visitors to Japan from China jumped 28 percent to 6.4 million in 2016, according to data from the Japan National Tourism Organization.
"Seeking to tap into the growing demand for leisure spending of Chinese, we are thrilled to partner with Laox to provide our customers in Japan with high-quality products [of] superlative craftsmanship," said Kent Wong, managing director of Chow Tai Fook.
Japan's increased appeal to Chinese tourists represents a shift away from Hong Kong as a tourist destination, partly due to the strengthening of the local dollar, which is tied to its U.S. counterpart. Figures from the Hong Kong Tourism Board showed that arrivals from mainland China declined 7 percent to 42.8 million last year – a drop that has dented jewelry sales at Chow Tai Fook and its peers.
Chow Tai Fook's Tokyo launch is also a move to seek gains from a buoyant domestic market, according to Luo Yiwen, president and representative director of Laox.
"We have noticed a high demand for jewelry in Japan, as an increasing number of ladies enjoy wearing it as a fashion item," he said. "We aspire to create a new market for it in the future."

Competition: Win Joe Stilgoe - The Heat Is On! - Swinging The 80s on Audio CD
On 28th June, Silva Screen Records will release Joe Stilgoe - The Heat Is On: Swinging The 80s, Joe Stilgoe's album of 80s movie hits arranged in a 50s big band style.
And to celebrate we have a great competition for you and 3 copies on CD to give away.
"This album basically is my childhood. Mixing the movies I was obsessed with and the big band music I felt such an affinity when everyone else was listening to A-Ha." - Joe Stilgoe
The album continues Joe's much loved and critically acclaimed style of combining great songs from the past with an exciting and relevant new spin. Connecting the dots between the 50s and 80s, THE HEAT IS ON! shines a spotlight on some of the greatest movie songs from 80s blockbusters - Beverly Hills Cop, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Batman, Short Circuit, The Karate Kid and many more.
Using the great arrangers of the 1950s as inspiration - Nelson Riddle, Robert Farnan, Sammy Nestico - these classic songs are almost unrecognisable in their new guise as perhaps the lost standards from the decade of swing and rock 'n' roll.
Says Joe - "Growing up in the 80s in Southern England wasn't much like the movies, but on the daydreamy days I would imagine I was Tom Hanks in Big, Michael J Fox in Back To The Future, Judd Nelson in The Breakfast Club and sometimes even Mary Stuart Masterson in Some Kind Of Wonderful. I fell in love with the music from American films, as they seemed to have everything I longed for - the wide streets with white clapboard houses, perfect front lawns and strangely amenable older residents with hoses, the bikes with armchair seats ridden by the kids in ET, the sense of adventure and stories in Stand By Me, the massive drums and massive choruses from those ballads that only the 80s knew how to deliver. All that was missing for a boy who would go on to dream of singing with a big band was that - big bands. I don't remember any big band music from the 80s, or at least, none that reached me. So, for this album, I thought we'd bring it all together."
What if all these songs from all these life-changing movies were actually big band classics?
Joe Stilgoe is a true modern-day entertainer, known globally as a performer of wit, style and a level of musicianship which has seen him be recognised as one of the best singer

Foreign corporations doing business in the Philippines are required by law to obtain the license to do so. Otherwise, they are barred from seeking redress from any Philippine court.
From the preceding citations, the appointment of a distributor in the Philippines is not sufficient to constitute doing business unless it is under the full control of the foreign corporation. On the other hand, if the distributor is an independent entity which buys and distributes products, other than those of the foreign corporation, for its own name and its own account, the latter cannot be considered to be doing business in the Philippines.
In the case at bench, it is undisputed that DISI was founded in 1979 and is independently owned and managed by the spouses Leandro and Josephine Bantug. In addition to Steelcase products, DISI also distributed products of other companies including carpet tiles, relocatable walls and theater settings.
This clearly belies DISIs assertion that it was a mere conduit through which Steelcase conducted its business in the country. From the preceding facts, the only reasonable conclusion that can be reached is that DISI was an independent contractor, distributing various products of Steelcase and of other companies, acting in its own name and for its own account.
From the abovementioned, it is clear that a foreign corporation that appoints an independent distributor in the Philippines which buys and distribute products other than that of the former is not doing business in the country. As such, the said entity need not secure a license before it can seek redress from the courts of the Philippines.

Q: TextView ignoring EditText style on device I have TextView where I apply the EditText style to it, as follows:
        <TextView android:id="@+id/textView1" android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:hint="Click here"
            android:theme="@android:style/Widget.EditText"
            android:singleLine="true" android:layout_marginTop="16dp"
            android:onClick="openDialog"
            android:clickable="true"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />

In Design mode everything looks fine (API 22), but on the device (API16), the TextView doesn't have the style of the EditText.
What am I missing?
EDIT
Using Api 19 or Api 16 in design mode, the TextView style is not the same as the EditText. So it's API-related.
Do I need an appcompat jar?

The Pilgrims or Pilgrim Fathers were early European settlers of the Plymouth Colony in present-day Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States. The Pilgrims' leadership came from the religious congregations of Brownist English Dissenters who had fled the volatile political environment in England for the relative calm and tolerance of 16th–17th century Holland in the Netherlands. The Pilgrims held Calvinist religious beliefs similar to the Puritans but, unlike many Puritans, maintained that their congregations needed to be separated from the English state church. As a separatist group, they were also concerned that they might lose their English cultural identity if they emigrated to the Netherlands, so they arranged with English investors to establish a new colony in North America. The colony was established in 1620 and became the second successful English settlement in North America. While seeking religious freedom for their own group, the Pilgrims exhibited intolerance to other faiths. The Pilgrims' story became a central theme of the history and culture of the United States.

The likelihood is that the four most commonly known and used ropes available today are nylon, polyester, polypropylene and dyneema. When we're done, we would like you to understand the basic characteristics of each and how you might use them.
Nylon is perhaps the best known of the synthetic fibers used on boats today. The two most common types in use for recreational boating today and 3 strand nylon and double braid nylon.
3 strand nylon has been around longer and is less expensive. 3 strand nylon is extremely strong. It also has the ability to stretch up to 25% of its length before it actually breaks. You will find that this ability to stretch is a plus especially for mooring pendants and anchor lines. The stretching allows for an unexpected strong force pulling on your boat to be adjusted too as the nylon line elongates rather than breaks. You will find many experienced boaters and professional seaman prefer 3 strand nylon for this reason.
Double braid nylon has a "loosely braided" core and a "tightly" braided cover. It is basically a rope in a rope. It is stronger but does not stretch as much as 3 strand nylon. This means that it will break (relatively) more quickly because it does not have the give that 3 strand nylon rope has.
Nylon is best for docking, mooring and anchoring because of the reasons mentioned above. No one wants to spend more money than they need to, so why not just buy the cheapest nylon you can find? This might be OK if all boats were being secured in calm water. You all know this isn't the case. Not all nylon is created equally. You should be sure to select the right nylon line for your application. Often you will find your harbor master or boaters who are familiar with the waters you will be navigating are a great help in making a selection.
Polyester is strong rope, although not as strong as nylon, nor does it stretch as much as nylon. It actually stretches very little and it is used as sail control line very often because of this characteristic. It also has a very soft feel and is preferred by many sailors because of this.
Newer hi tech parallel core polyester is used for sail halyards because for all practical purposes, it doesn't stretch at all and keeps the sails where you set them.
Polypropylene comes in two flavors. One is plain old polypropylene. It's light, it tends to feel hard. It floats. It is not very strong. It's great for lines to life rings and it's plenty strong to pull someone in to safety.
The second is called MFP, multifilament polypropylene. It is usually available as single strand or abraided. It's light, it's soft, it floats and it is very strong. It is often used by professional rescue towing companies. It's easy to handle and since it floats, it avoids under water tangles.
Dyneema is the latest entry in synthetic fiber rope that has caught on. It is by far the strongest of the synthetic ropes available. It is very low stretch and it floats. What's the catch? You may have guessed the answer. It is very expensive. Its tremendous stability and strength make it great for special use in hi-tech applications.


Jakarta, dpd.go.id – Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) as an Indonesian anti-corruption institutions is under pressured by many sides. KPK is seen as half-hearted and selective in combating corruption. Even some people propose the dissolution of the KPK and return the task of eradicating corruption to the police and judiciary. I Wayan Sudirta (DPD PPUU Chairman / Senator of DPD Bali Province) firmly rejected the proposal. He still strongly believes that the Commission could do their job if the strengthening of institutions is done. It was said by Wayan in Talk Show of Perspective DPD at Pressroom DPD Indonesia in Senayan, Jakarta (24/06/11).
In a talk show entitled "KPK and the Law Enforcement through the Fifth Amendment of the 1945 Constitution", in addition to the strengthening of the Commission, Wayan proposed five commissions that should be included in the constitution. "If the KPK, KPU, KY, IBC and Komnas HAM is set in the 1945 Constitution, our nation will become a civilized nation," said Wayan.
That was supported by Teguh Santosa (Chief Editor of Rakyat Merdeka Online) who stated that he agrees to the strengthening of KPK as a permanent commission. He added, "Our country has become a state of 'ad hoc-cracy' because all issues are resolved by the temporary agencies," he said.
In line with that opinion, Febri Diansyah from ICW (Indonesian Corruption Watch) also questioned why KPK as a special anti-corruption agency is only regulated in the Law. Thus, he argues, the existence of KPK needs to be regulated in the constitution. "The law on KPK is the most frequently law experiencing judicial review. It is recorded that 11 of the 13 applicants wanted to cripple the articles in the law," Febri explained.

Hitting Tech Sufficiency
May 8, 2017 May 9, 2017 John Scalzi52 Comments
I was recently gifted with a Google Chromebook Pixel, which although now two years old is still the most specced-out Chromebook you can get (the version I received has an i7 processor, 16 gigs of ram and a 64GB SSD, as well as a retina-like touchscreen). I was delighted to get it, and can attest to it being an all around lovely laptop, as well as (of course) just about the best Chromebook I've come across. It can run Android apps too, which is a bonus, although I don't find myself actually using that ability much, either on this or the other two Chromebooks I currently have in the house. Be that as it may, if you have a hankering for a Chromebook, the Pixels are still well worth looking into. Google's not making them anymore, so supplies are limited, but on the other hand you can pick one up these days for about $400, a steep discount from their original pricing (of about $1k).
As much as I like the Pixel (and I do!), one of the things I'm aware of at the moment is that I'm currently in a moment of technological sufficiency, which is to say that I'm at a point where I don't really have a hankering for any new bit of tech. Before the Pixel arrived I already had the latest Asus Flip Chromebook, which I liked quite a bit and which I took on tour with me, where it performed in an entirely satisfactory manner. My desktop computer is a couple years old now but still near the upper end of things, techwise; as long as it doesn't explode I'm fine. My cell phone is likewise well-specced and I'm in no rush to upgrade it. Basically, there's no tech out there in the world I really feel the urge to pick up. I'm good.
This is very weird for me, I should note. There's usually a laptop or cell phone or graphics card or camera or TV or whatever that I don't have that I wish I did, and which I'm sorely tempted to get even if I don't exactly need it (this is what Charlie Stross calls "having to make a saving throw against shiny"). But at the moment: Nope.
I think part of the reason for this is a bit of self-awareness, i.e., no matter what new computer (or phone, or whatever) I get, I'm almost certainly going to use it for the same things I always do — in the case of a laptop, to write emails and occasionally work on a novel (if I'm not at home), and read social media. These are not things which require blazing speeds or massive computing power, which is one reason I've become enamored of Chromebooks in the last couple of years; they're nicely good enough, especially now that I can get models with backlit keyboards. They are so "good enough," in fact, that at this point (for me, anyway), it becomes increasingly difficult to justify spending hundreds more for a PC or Mac ever again. Maybe if my laptops were my primary computers (i.e., no desktop computer). But they're not.
Also, I think I might have a little bit of technology fatigue, which is to say at this moment in time there's nothing so particularly new or innovative in terms of technology that I feel an urge to race out and upgrade. Laptops are sufficiently small and light and capable; their functionality isn't notably different from what it was five or even ten years ago, at least in terms of how I use them. The most recent attempts to innovate in that area amount to either removing capability (Apple ditching inputs and forcing its users to use dongles) or adding capability of dubious utility (Apple again, with their "Touch Bar"). Likewise, the newest generation of cell phones doesn't add much to the party for me — again they're either dropping capability (no headphone jacks? Screw you), or what's being added doesn't impress me much.
(Tablets, I'll note, have dropped entirely off my radar; I loved the Nexus 7 tablet, which was the perfect size for me, but I barely use mine anymore. Likewise the iPad Mini I have, which I got because I'm working on games designed for iOS. What I used tablets for previously are now handled by my phone, which now has a large enough screen, or by my Asus Chromebook, which flips about to make a perfectly serviceable tablet, especially now that it runs Android apps.)
There's nothing that grabs me, upgrade-wise, so I suspect I'm unlikely to upgrade until my current set of toys break. Which will be soon enough, as tech these days is not made to last. But when it does break, the question will be whether I'll upgrade, or just… sidegrade, and get tech that is equivalent to what I have now and thus, relatively cheaper because it will no longer be the shiniest of the shinies anymore.
I don't suspect this state of affairs will last, mind you. I am famously susceptible to new tech toys, and I suspect that soon some as-now-unheralded feature or functionality will presently become indespensible (or will at least feel like it is) and then there I will be, Fry-like, thrusting out a fist of dollars and telling someone to shut up and take my money. But for the moment? Yeah, I'm fine, tech-wise. It's a weird feeling. But I could get used to it. And so could my wallet.
The Big Idea: Carrie Patel
May 8, 2017 John Scalzi2 Comments
During the thinking about and writing of The Song of the Dead, author Carrie Patel came to appreciate traffic jams. Why is that? And how did it help in the construction of her novel? Patel is here to tell you.
CARRIE PATEL:
One of my most vivid memories from grad school is of a negotiation exercise my first year. My classmates and I were divided into two teams in which we played researchers competing for a limited supply of a rare coconut. The premise was that we each needed it—and as much as we could get—in order to cure different diseases, and that winning meant having as much of the stuff as possible.
Game on, I thought.
For a half hour, we debated. We discussed the urgency of our research, the number of people we could save, and the benefits we could provide to society. After a civil and well-reasoned discussion, we divided up the coconut supply, and we all stepped back feeling like we'd won.
We'd all lost.
The catch was that one group only needed the fibers, and the other only needed the meat. We could have all gotten the maximum use of our coconuts if we'd only shared our full stories with one another. Instead, we made assumptions and went to battle because the story running through our minds was one of conflict.
If there's one thing this exercise taught me, it's that the stories we tell ourselves shape our goals, relationships, and outcomes. And that's the Big Idea of The Song of the Dead.
A little background. The Recoletta trilogy is about underground cities that rise from the ashes of the Catastrophe, an unspecified historical disaster. To the people who live in the buried cities—Recoletta, Madina, and their neighbors—history is a thing to be feared. It's a Pandora's box of human evils, a story about how the wicked nature and dangerous technologies of ancient peoples led to their near-total destruction. Understandably, perhaps, the people of these cities see this history as a dangerous virus, and most of them want nothing to do with whatever story corrupted their ancestors.
For the third novel, I wanted to explore this idea about stories—how they shape people and how they create conflict—on a big, plot-wide scale and on a small, character-focused scale.
Zoomed out, The Song of the Dead was always going to be about societies that had built themselves up around different stories of the Catastrophe and about the conflict that those stories would inevitably rope them into.
That idea felt fresh, relevant, and compelling to me as a writer. There was just one problem: I didn't even know the story of the Catastrophe. I just knew that it had to be massive. It had to explain the buried cities' isolation and idiosyncrasies. It had to mean something to the characters in the present of the book.
And it couldn't be the first thing that came to mind.
So, how do you develop a backstory that simultaneously pays off a mystery, contextualizes your world building, and motivates your current conflict?
Apparently with lots of brainstorming, pages of outlining, and some thoughtful car ride conversations with the husband.
At least there's one reason to appreciate California traffic.
I won't spoil anything except to say that I did finally discover the story my story needed, and after dusting my hands off over dozens of Scrivener files, pages of notes, and more than a few false starts, all I had to do was write the novel.
Fortunately, there were characters to help with that.
I wanted to give my series protagonists, Jane Lin and Liesl Malone, the same thorough treatment. Ever since I'd written the outline for Cities and Thrones, I'd wanted to bring these two women into conflict with one another. The challenge was to do that while maintaining them both as reasonable and well-intentioned people.
Fortunately, by the events of The Song of the Dead, they've been shaped (hammered, more like) by two very different stories. Each has a different version of the events that have pushed them to the edge, and they begin the novel glaring at each other across the gulf that has grown between them.
The question is, will they be able to step back from that conflict far enough to tell each other those stories, and will they be able to find peace enough for their world?

BACOLOD City – More than 100 military troops were deployed to Negros Island to augment the existing troops of the Army's 303rd Infantry Brigade (IBde) based in Negros Occidental.
A press release from the 303rd IBde said the troops from the 14th Civil Military Operations Battalion of the Philippine Army arrived on Wednesday at the Bacolod Real Estate Development Corp. (Bredco) port here onboard a BRP Tausug-Philippine Navy.
The said unit was previously based in Luzon and is placed under the Operational Control of the 303rd IBde.
Colonel Inocencio Pasaporte, 303rd IBde commander, in his statement said that, "the additional troops will boost our efforts in our campaign against the New People's Army (NPA)."
The additional forces will also reinforce and sustain the conduct of Community Support Program (CSP) teams in priority areas of the brigade and further complement the other CSPs that are being launched in the island.
It will also beef up the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) to address the Communist Terrorists Group.
"With the support of the local government units, other agencies and the communities, we will achieve a peaceful province free from the influence of the NPA," Pasaporte said.
