The Senator said that the DENR officers in the province are the representatives of the national agency and bring down to the provincial level the programs and policies of the DENR where the PENRO will take those programs and policies and apply them in their assigned provinces.
Sen. Bongbong explained that each PENRO is specific to its respective province since the needs and concerns of every province are slightly or totally different from one another. In contrast, the national policies and programs expressed through the DENR are constant throughout the whole country.
He added that the DENR's function is to formulate and implement national programs and policies while PENRO would translate it into local projects and strategies that would fit into the varying needs and situations of each community, saying that they need one another, and he thinks that is the way it should be handled.
Referred to the committee on local government, by making the appointment of PENRO mandatory instead of optional Senate Bill introduced by Sen. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, seeks to amend Section 463, Chapter 2, Title Four, Book III of Republic Act No. 7160.

Facebook's Pivot To Groups Could Help It Create Privacy-Protecting Ads
Kalev Leetaru Contributor
I write about the broad intersection of data and society.
Mark Zuckerberg speaks to press and advertising partners in 2007. Two weeks after announcing its new marketing program, the company faced complaints from users surprised to find information about their online purchases added to their personal news feeds. (AP Photo/Craig Ruttle, file)
Social media companies face an increasingly uncertain landscape of increased scrutiny from governments across the world threatening new legislation to reign in the way they use the data of their users. Yet, many companies like Facebook don't actually "sell" their customer data, they use it primarily to better target advertisements to them. Could Facebook's pivot to fostering community through Groups actually help it reinvent its advertising business for this new regulatory climate?
Once upon a time, in the pre-digital era, newspapers and magazines sold advertisements based on their primary demographics. A small-town newspaper was likely consumed primarily by citizens of that town, a financial broadsheet was a fixture of the business community, a car magazine meant someone interested in cars and so on. The same held true for the era of radio and television once they moved beyond sponsored shows towards open advertising.
While imperfect, this model of using a broadcast show or print venue as a proxy for a certain combination of behavioral and interest selectors worked reasonably well.
The digital era upended this model, promising the ability to target an ad to a single person using almost unimaginably rich targeting selectors in infinitely complex combinations.
However, the need to provide extraordinarily rich behavioral and interest profiles for each user to enable such precise targeting necessitated the rise of our modern online surveillance society. Facebook needs to track our every activity to be able to generate the full range of selectors advertisers today demand.
In fact, previously, Facebook even went beyond what it itself could observe to purchase a vast array of datapoints from data brokers to enable even richer targeting, though it since discontinued this practice.
The problem is that supporting these hyper-targeted advertisements requires vast oceans of our most intimate and sensitive interests and actions.
As governments have become ever more concerned about the safety and ethics of these archives, social companies are likely to come under increasing pressure to curtail the sheer volume of data they collect about us.
What's a social media company to do when its need to precisely target our interests for ads collides with governments increasingly looking to curtail that profiling and targeting?
Today's advertising machine is built upon the idea that social media companies will silently surveil their users from afar, assigning advertising selectors to them based on the actions they take and content they consume.
What if this model was reversed?
What if social media platforms instead provided their users a list of advertising selectors and users self-organized themselves into the selectors of greatest relevance to them?
Today Facebook tracks a user's every move to determine that they tend to frequently click on posts depicting golden retrievers and thus place them into an ad category for goldens. What if instead, Facebook gave that user a list of ad categories and had them select the ones they were most interested in, self-selecting into the golden retriever category?
At first glance this might seem absurd, that no user is going to spend the time to browse a massive list of millions upon millions of ad categories, including every possible permutation of them, such as "Married first time golden retriever owners in Washington, DC with one child."
However, if one steps back for a moment, this sounds an awful lot like Facebook Groups.
By encouraging its users to self-organize themselves into Groups based on their interests and activities, Facebook is essentially getting its users to self-select themselves into all of the advertising categories of greatest interest to them.
Most importantly, Facebook could in the future sell advertisements for Groups instead of users. Rather than an advertiser running an ad targeting users that meet certain criteria, they would return to their roots of running ads in a demographically homogeneous venue.
Whereas an advertiser might once have run an ad in a golden retriever club newsletter, then in the digital era moved to running ads targeting individual owners, under the Groups model they could return to running ads in the digital equivalent of a newsletter.
Selling ads for Groups rather than individuals would allow Facebook to sidestep much of the new privacy legislation enacted and proposed around the world. In fact, it could even eventually abandon entirely all data collection on its users, reaching them exclusively through Group-based ad selectors.
One could imagine users being automatically enrolled in Groups based on combinations of their age, education history, location and interests, creating a base set of interest categories that would help draw them further into those communities, thus spending more time on the platform and viewing more ads.
Putting this all together, this return to roots for advertisers would allow us to move past today's digital surveillance state while still maintaining the ad-supported web that enables the web to be free.
In the end, perhaps the web's pivot to community will not only bring us closer together, but help restore a bit of our digital privacy.

Q: How to run two python functions at same time? Background
I have a python script that compares the same table across two different environments for e.g. production and development. Now the thing is to compare the data, I need to fetch data from both environments at the same time. I am using the Oracle database here.
My strategy until now:
My main python script launches two different python scripts at the same time using os.startfile(). Each script fetches data from their respective environment for e.g. fetch_prod.py fetches data from production and then save data into an excel file as prod_data.xlsx.
My main script checks every one minute to see if both excel files are present. After which It reads excel into a pandas data frame and does its comparison.
What I want
I need to run both data fetching functions parallelly inside my main script and need to wait until they signal that have fetched all the data.

A: Consider using the python multiprocessing module.
You can run something like this:
from multiprocessing import Process

def read_db1(some_arg):
    pass
    # Do Something

def read_db2(some_arg):
    pass
    # Do Something

def main():
    db1_proc = Process(target=read_db1, args=('bla',))
    db1_proc.start()

    db2_proc = Process(target=read_db2, args=('bla',))
    db2_proc.start()

    db1_proc.join()
    db2_proc.join()

    # Do something now that both processes are done

Games in Characteristic Function Form and Imputations
Mathematical Game Theory
Universidade Estadual de São PetersburgoUniversidade Estadual de São Petersburgo
Every day, almost every minute we make a choice. Right now you have made the choice to read this text instead of scrolling further. Choices can be insignificant: to go by tram or by bus, to take an umbrella or not. Sometimes they can be very significant and even crucial: the choice of University, life partner. However, the importance of choice may not be realized initially. Sometimes a decision "not to take an umbrella" radically changes everything. The choice may affect a small group of people or entire countries. In game тtheory, we call it the choice of strategy. Constantly interacting with society and adopting certain strategies, many of us wonder: why can't everyone exist peacefully and cooperate with each other? Why do those who have agreed to cooperate, suddenly break the agreement? What if one is cooperative and the other is not? How profitable should the interaction be for the opponent to change his opinion? When are long-term stable prospects better than short-term benefits, and when not? The answers to these and other questions you will find out in our course. This course will be useful for those who want to make choices based on mathematical calculations rather than relying on fate. Who is interested in world politics and at least once heard about the "Prisoner's Dilemma". The course is basic and does not require any special knowledge. In several sections, definitions and theorems from mathematical analysis and elements of probability theory will be used.

Till now, we were considering the bargaining problems, where our aim was to define of how the players or economic agents should cooperate. What strategies should they choose in order to sign, for example, the cooperate or strategic agreement. In here, we will consider a problem of how to allocate cooperative payoff or joined payoff among the players so that their cooperation or cooperative agreement would be beneficial for all of the players. We will start with classical theoretical example called Jazz band. So, we have a club and the director of the club promises $100 for a performance to the singer, pianist and the drummer. But the question is how this group can allocate the payoff among themselves. Of course they could use the proportional approach. They could say that each of the participants should receive one third of the profit. But what if we know that the coalition of singer and pianist can earn $80. What if we know that the coalition of drummer and pianist can earn $65. What if we know that the pianist alone can earn $30, singer and drummer - $50, singer alone - $20 and the drummer alone cannot earn anything. Then what approach can we use? In order to answer that question, we need to define the so-called characteristic function of coalition S. So the characteristic function, shows the power or how much the coalition S can earn in the game. It is a real valued function which is defined on the set of subsets of the set N, which is set of coalitions of the players of the set N and it assigns a value to each coalition. The classical property or requirement for characteristic function is super additivity. The super additivity property means that if we take any two coalitions with no intersection between them and we calculate the characteristic function of these two coalitions together, then the value of this characteristic function will be more or equal than the sum of characteristic function of one coalition and the characteristic function of the second coalition. If this condition holds for any coalition distribution, then it would guarantee that all players would want to cooperate or would want to compose a grand coalition. So, all players would want to cooperate. We can define or we will define the cooperative game as a pair, N and v, where N is a set of players and v is a characteristic function, which is defined for each coalition. Let's consider the cooperative game for our example Jazz band. In here, the set of players is set of three players, singer, drummer and pianist and characteristic function is calculated according to the slide. So the characteristic function of a grand coalition or coalition one, two, three is equal to 100. It means that players of coalition one, two, three can earn $100. Characteristic function of coalition one and two is equal to 50, which means that singer and the drummer can earn $50. Coalition of players one and three which is singer and pianist is equal to 80. Characteristic function of drummer and pianist is equal to 65 and characteristic function of singer is equal to 20, characteristic function of a drummer is equal to zero because he cannot earn anything alone, and characteristic function of pianist is equal to 30. Now we can check if this so defined characteristic function is super additive. Let's do that for coalitions one, two and three and the characteristic function for coalition one, two is equal to 50, characteristic function for coalition three is equal to 30, that sum is equal to 80, and the characteristic function of a grand coalitions is equal to 100. So, 100 is more or equal than 80 which means that the super additivity condition is satisfied for this coalition distribution and in the same way, we can check for any coalition distributions. On this slide, you can see the list of references where you can get more information about the Jazz band model and also get more information about the super additivity property and characteristic function.

In a move that is equal parts symbolic and practical, the Boston Red Sox have ditched Anheuser-Busch InBev as the team's official beer sponsor. The park, previously bedecked in an array of Budweiser signage and merchandise, will be rechristened with beer from a hometown source: Boston Beer Co., the makers of Samuel Adams and second largest U.S. craft brewery (after Yuengling).
In hindsight, the move seems obvious, or even assumed—if you had told me yesterday that Sam Adams was the beer sponsor of the Red Sox, I would have said "Yeah, that makes sense." But there's actually a fairly large precedent being set here, as Boston Beer Co. becomes the first craft brewery to ever become the official sponsor of a Major League Baseball team—a position usually reserved for either ABI or MillerCoors. It would be the equivalent of Brooklyn Beer Co. sponsoring the Yankees, or SweetWater being the official beer of the Braves, or Revolution Beer Co. being the official beer of my own Chicago White Sox. Can we make all of those things happen, by the way?
Of course, whether Boston Beer Co. should be considered "craft" is also the subject of debate in this space. The company has come perilously close to losing that designation as of late by producing more non-beer products, such as cider, hard iced tea and "spiked sparkling water" than they are beer. According to the Brewers Association definition of "craft," they would need to continue producing "a majority" of beer to hold the distinction.


I'm so happy – my favorite holiday season is "officially" here! Despite my disdain for extreme cold, I really enjoy Christmas and New Year. I celebrate Christmas and love everything that traditionally goes with it: people in a good mood, hopes and plans for the new year, wearing boots, a reason to gather together, and wearing warm layers while drinking hot beverages. I love hearing and singing Christmas carols, and even though I'm not great at ice skating – I do it every year.
November marks the third anniversary of this blog. I'm thankful to everyone I've worked with and met, and am so happy my list of contributors has grown. I look forward to what the next year will bring.
Thank you for reading, and I appreciate your continued support!
Upcoming posts will include: interesting and cool gifts, things to do this holiday season, and anything else I feel like sharing!

Ford EcoSport Lounge Area
Ford Ecosport RS In The Works
Ford EcoSport News
Why should Ford hatchbacks have all the hooning fun? Ford performance chief Dave Pericak may have asked himself the same question and found that there may be an opportunity for RS badged performance-focused SUV and crossovers in the Blue Oval's future.
Speaking with Car Dealer Magazine, Pericak definitely thinks there's a market for an RS SUV so long as it lives up to the badge and performs as expected.
"I think customers love performance. I think the definition of what that means for an SUV might be different than what it means for a Focus or for a Fiesta. But I think that we've seen, even in the US and globally, that people like aggressive-looking cars, they like sporty, they want the power and pick-up and engine improvement, so I think the answer is yes. SUV customers would appreciate performance, for sure."
There's already a few performance SUVs in the market including the Audio SQ5 and SQ7, Porsche Macan and Cayenne, and other automakers are starting to join the fray. But the segment is not oversaturated yet and there aren't that many "credible" performance SUVs out there.
So the market is ripe for the picking and Ford's Focus RS has already paved the way for the potential expansion of the RS brand. Maybe we'll see an RS badged EcoSport in the future.
The EcoSport isn't an SUV in that category and shouldn't be treated like one either. It's a compact SUV or a CUV. They'd be better off utilizing the Explorer or even Expedition.
An RS model would be a good way to put the "Sport" in the EcoSport. I'm sure the 1.0-liter turbocharged three-cylinder and 2.0-liter four-cylinder engines are fine for daily commutes, but they aren't what I would consider sporty.
Econobox
The Ford Explorer and Expedition are great vehicles, but their image doesn't really fit the RS badge so the EcoSport is a more likely candidate. As far as I can recall, the last few models with the RS badges were small hatchbacks and sedans, nothing too large.
For sure, but the only reason I made the Explorer and Expedition options is because the above was stating to essentially join the performance SUV category that includes vehicles like the Cayenne, and SQ7 which I believe are bigger than the EcoSport is.
If they plan on competing in the performance range at all, I think they'll have to ditch that 1.0 and possibly even the 2.0 and up to a v6 of some sort.
Well, I do like the 3.5-L twin-turbocharged EcoBoost V6 that's sitting in the 2017 Ford F-150 SVT Raptor... 450 horsepower and 510 lb-f of torque on hand sounds like a dream EcoSport RS. But that's not going to happen.
That's definitely a dream, and I share that dream as well haha but we both no that will never happen. If it does, it'll be some sort of concept at SEMA but I even doubt that.
What do you think is a possible engine Ford could put in the EcoSport RS?
My take on it is, it just won't happen. This wasn't even much of an indication of it being an EcoSport. Explorer could be it or even the Escape. We have yet to see a car maker take a vehicle in this segment and turn it into a performance model. So that being the case its hard to suggest which engine.
Guess you're right, an RS model needs a good foundation and the Ecosport platform may not be up to the challenge. Maybe we'll see a RS crossover based on the Focus RS instead?
Something like that is a lot more believable. The Ecosport platform just doesn't make sense in my opinion and wouldn't do well at all opposed to something like the Focus RS
The most I can see for the EcoSport is a slightly more powerful engine, maybe a Sport trim.
Maybe something with the suspension, but nothing major like an engine overhaul. But I'm sure that won't stop people from putting a powerful engine under the hoods of various cars that were never designed for that many ponies, including the EcoSport.
Some suspension tweaks and maybe... if anything, even though I doubt it, an air intake. But that's as far as it'll really get. Everything else will be purely aesthetic.
When you say aesthetic changes, I'm just imagining a stanced EcoSport now with a huge front splitter. Something you'd find on Stance Nation. *shiver* but if anyone were to get close to coming out with a EcoSport RS, it'll be them.
Lol oh god that would be horrendous. But no no I mean something more along the lines of very slightly lower, maybe some bigger wheels, possibly some sort of wrap around lip or something. Some sort of dumb suv spoiler haha
I always find lowered crossovers and SUVs counter productive, one of the things that makes the segment appealing is the ground clearance. Take that away and you have a hatchback.
I agree with that. But, it'll always happen. I recall seeing an Honda Odyssey in my area that's literally slammed on the ground. Just to show that people will lower anything and everything lol.
That doesn't surprise me and it's more likely to happen with affordable cars like the Ecosport as the money saved can go towards their mod budget.
What made the Focus RS so notable aside from its engine was drift mode. Something that shouldn't be in a tall car like the EcoSport because that's just an accident waiting to happen.

$$\sum_{k,l\ge1} \frac{l(l+1)}{k^n(k+l)^2} = \sum_{k,l\ge1}\frac{1}{k^{n-1}(k+l)}\left( \frac{1}{k} - \frac{1}{k+l} \right) + \sum_{k,l\ge1}\frac{1}{k^{n-2}}\left( \frac{1}{k} - \frac{1}{k+l} \right)^2 =  $$
$$ =\sum_{k,l\ge1} \left(\frac{1}{k^n(k+l)} - \frac{1}{k^{n-1}(k+l)^2} +\frac{1}{k^n} -\frac{2}{k^{n-1}(k+l)} + \frac{1}{k^{n-2}(k+l)^2} \right)$$
From this I can see the the values of some of these terms i.e. $\zeta(n) , \zeta(2,n-1)$ and $\zeta(2,n-2)$ However I'm not sure how to deal with
$$\sum_{k,l\ge1}\left(\frac{1}{k^n(k+l)}-\frac{2}{k^{n-1}(k+l)} \right)$$
and I was hoping for some hints or maybe even a better approach to the whole calculation.

Flavorwire Premiere: Broken Water Pays Homage to the Pacific Northwest With "Wasted" Video
By Jillian Mapes
For their new video, the wildly underrated Olympia shoegaze punks Broken Water rep their native Pacific Northwest. Home video footage of deer, lush foliage, and tugboats is juxtaposed with clips of the three-piece performing in its usual haze of radicalism. The result is so warm and warped that it's wonderfully disorienting — much like the band's new, highly existential album, Wrought, released earlier this month through Night-People Records. Flavorwire is pleased to premiere the clip below.
Broken Water owes the new video to another Olympia native, Japanther's Ian Vanek, who shot and directed the clip. "He approached us and said he really wanted to make something for us, and we were stoked!" drummer and vocalist Kanako Pooknyw tells Flavorwire.
The Olympia love runs strong, with Pooknyw running off a whole list of local bands to check out: VEXX, Defaceman, GAG, Transfix, and GLOSS, just to name a few. "I love that I live in a community full of friends that choose to live outside the status quo," Pooknyw says. "We live on the cheap in order to have more time off to create and hang out."
For Wrought, the band notably worked with Steve Fisk, another musical figure closely tied to the Pacific Northwest. Fisk worked closely with early Sub Pop and K Records before grunge broke, producing such bands as Beat Happening, Soundgarden, and yes, Nirvana.
"I studied multi-track analogue recording with Peter Randlette at the Evergreen State College back in the '90s," Pooknyw explains. "Peter and Steve went to Evergreen together I believe in the late '70s and started recording hi-fi DIY stuff around that time. Ever since I studied under Perter, I had wanted to work at Avast! [Recording Company, storied studio in Seattle] and record with Steve. He is legendary. It was so cool to work with such a knowledgeable engineer."


Sometimes small countries pack the most punch – and Singapore is a perfect example. Not only is it a small city-state, it's also on an island, so there's even more potential for limitations. Which is why Singapore's variety is all the more enjoyable and unexpected.
Singapore is incredibly wealthy, and the city center shows off with unbelievably clean streets and sparkling lights. This is a city that offers all the perks a big city does, it's just that Singapore does it in a slightly more polished manner. The usual suspects on a city break itinerary are here – the shopping is outstanding, the variety of cuisines is tempting, and there are opportunities to experience local arts and culture in museums and theaters. But Singapore is much more than your average big city in Asia.
Despite being a relatively small city-state confined by its island boundaries, Singapore's landscape is quite diverse. Within central Singapore there are several big parks and green spaces (many of which are popular with locals for practicing tai chi), not to mention the Singapore Zoo and Night Safari, the bird park or botanical gardens – all within a short distance from one another, especially since Singapore's public transportation is so fast and efficient.
Further afield, you still don't have to travel far to get to a quiet residential area on the east coast of the island that enjoys a beautiful beach that stretches for 20km. The area tends to be fairly tourist-free, although it's close to where Changi Airport is located, because there aren't "attractions," per se – but if a leisurely day at the beach is on your agenda, this is a good spot for it. You can also hop over to a small adjacent island to get a glimpse of what all of Singapore used to be like – you can even go camping on the beach in some places.
The hidden secrets of Singapore are plentiful, if you're willing to look beyond the surface and stay more than a day or two. And hey, if you're fortunate enough to be arriving via flights on Singapore Airlines – the country's award-winning and luxurious national carrier – you may just want to fly back and forth a few times for repeat visits.

P Jose Ascanio and C Wyatt Toregas have cleared waivers and both will be assigned to the Indians. Anthony Claggett was returned to the Altoona Curve.
Here's the list of all the draft picks, which will be updated with the signings as they occur.
Sharp, Singer, and Trent are listed on the State College roster. The State College Spikes begin their season on Friday.
The Pirates also signed LHP Robbie Kilcrease, an undrafted free agent from Texas Tech. The redshirt junior made 12 starts this year for Texas Tech. He had a total of 63.1 innings, with a 5.97 ERA.
The Power did all the scoring they needed in their first at-bats, as three Power pitchers combined for a shutout. With one out in the top of the 1st, 2B Andy Vasquez lined a single into center field, then stole second base. He scored on RF Dan Grovatt's double lined into right field. Grovatt stole third base, and he scored on 1B Justin Howard's RBI ground out. CF Mel Rojas added one more insurance run for the Power in the 4th inning with a solo home run.
After the homer, the Power lost some of their power. They managed only 3 hits over the rest of the game -- a single by Rojas in the 6th, a double by DH Jairo Marquez in the 7th, and a single by 3B Eric Avila in the 9th.
Brandon Cumpton worked around a walk and a single in the bottom of the 1st, then gave up two more singles in the 3rd, but got out of that jam too, partly due to a double play. Cumpton also gave up lone singles in the 4th and 5th, but still did not let the runners come around to score. He began the 6th with a walk and a double play, then loaded the bases with a single, a hit batter, and a walk. Kevin Decker came on in relief of Cumpton, and Decker ended the inning with a fly out, still not letting a run score.
Decker pitched 2 more scoreless innings, though he gave up a walk and two singles in the 7th, and another single in the 8th. Jason Townsend pitched the 9th, also giving up a walk and erasing the runner with a double play. Cumpton earned his 7th win of the season, and Townsend earned his 6th Save.
After rain delayed the start of this game, the Curve must have decided that they needed to score a lot and quickly, in case the rain cut the game short. The rain did come again, but too early for a complete game. Instead, it was suspended in the 3rd inning, with the Curve leading by 10 runs. R-Phils starter Juan Ramirez could not get through the 1st inning. The first four Curve batters reached base safely: a lead-off triple by RF Anthony Norman, a double by CF Starling Marte (one run), a walk by SS Jordy Mercer, and a single by LF Quincy Latimore to load the bases. After a fly out, 3B Jeremy Farrell drove in both Marte and Mercer with an RBI single (runs 2,3). C Travis Scott singled, loading the bases again. 2B Greg Picart grounded to first, and the R-Phils' first baseman returned the ball to the plate, forcing out Latimore for the second out. Pitcher Aaron Pribanic singled into right field, bringing in Farrell (run 4), and a walk by Norman forced in Scott with the 5th run of the inning. That was the end for Ramirez, and the new reliever, Tyson Brummett, struck out Marte to end the inning.
But the Curve came right back at Brummett in the 2nd. With one out, Latimore singled, and 1B Matt Curry doubled him in. A walk by Scott and a single by Picart brought in Curry, and the Curve extended their lead to 7-0.
Pribanic retired the R-Phils in order in the bottom of the 1st. He gave up one run in the 2nd, on two singles and two ground outs. Then the Curve came roaring right back in the top of the 3rd. Norman led off with a walk, and a fielding error put Marte on first and Norman on second. Mercer singled, plating Norman. After one out, Brummet threw two wild pitches, scoring Marte and leaving Mercer on third base. Curry walked, then Farrell doubled, driving in Mercer. Curry went to third base, and he scored on Scott's sacrifice fly. A ground out ended the top of the inning, and at that point, the game was halted, with the Curve ahead 11-1. The game will resume at 1:30 pm on Sunday, and the regularly scheduled game will follow, but that game will be only 7 innings long. Hope the Curve didn't use up all their hits in those first three innings.
2B Brock Holt singled up the middle in the bottom of the 9th, scoring 1B Miles Durham from second base, for the Curve's walk-off win.
Curve starter Aaron Thompson began his outing by facing only the minimum over the first three innings. He gave up a single in the 2nd, but erased that runner with a double play. The Aeros scored the first run of the game in the top of the 4th, when they loaded the bases on two singles and a walk before Thompson could record an out. A sacrifice fly drove in the runner from third, but Thompson got another double play to get out of the inning.
The first 11 Curve batters also went down in order, until LF Quincy Latimore singled in the 4th. He was forced out at second on SS Jordy Mercer's grounder. The Curve got onto the scoreboard and tied the game when 3B Jeremy Farrell blasted a solo homer to lead off the 4th inning.
Thompson again retired the side in order in the 5th. The Aeros took the lead again in the top of the 6th with 2 runs off Thompson. A single, a stolen base, and another single put runners on the corners with one out. A wild pitch moved the runner from first to second, though the runner on third had to stay there. Two more strikeouts drove in two runs, to give Akron a 3-1 lead.
The Curve answered with one run in the bottom of the 7th. Mercer and Ferrell led off the inning with singles, and C Tony Sanchez walked to load the bases. After a pitching change, RF Eric Fryer bounced into a double play, which let Mercer score from third base, though Fryer did not get credit for an RBI. The Curve added two more in the bottom of the 8th to take the lead. Pinch-hitter Kris Watts singled up the middle, and was replaced by pinch-runner Brad Chalk. Holt sacrificed bunted Chalk to second. CF Starling Marte beat out an infield single, moving Chalk to third, and Marte stole second base to put two Curve runners in scoring position. Latimore drove in Chalk with a sacrifice fly, an Mercer brought in Marte with an RBI single. Curve ahead, 4-3.
Mike Dubee relieved Thompson and pitched 2 scoreless innings. He retired the side in order in the 6th, then gave up just a walk in the 8th. Noah Krol took over for Dubee for the 9th. He was charged with a Blown Save when he gave up a solo home run to tie the score. Then he was credited with the win because he was the pitcher of record in the bottom of the 9th. The bottom of the frame began with a fly out, then Fryer singled and Durham reached on a fielding error at shortstop, moving Fryer to third. Chalk bounced to short, giving the Akron shortstop the opportunity to fire back to the plate, and Fryer was tagged out at home. With Durham on second and Chalk on first, Holt singled into center field, and had the walk-off win when Durham raced around third base to score on the single.

CARPIO, J.:
This is a petition for review on certiorari filed by Monina P. Lim (petitioner) seeking to set aside
the Decision[1] dated 15 September 2004 of the Regional Trial Court, General Santos City, Branch
22 (trial court), in SPL. PROC. Case Nos. 1258 and 1259, which dismissed without prejudice the
consolidated petitions for adoption of Michelle P. Lim and Michael Jude P. Lim.
The following facts are undisputed. Petitioner is an optometrist by profession. On 23 June 1974,
she married Primo Lim (Lim). They were childless. Minor children, whose parents were
unknown, were entrusted to them by a certain Lucia Ayuban (Ayuban). Being so eager to have a
child of their own, petitioner and Lim registered the children to make it appear that they were the
childrens parents. The children [2] were named Michelle P. Lim (Michelle) and Michael Jude P.
Lim (Michael). Michelle was barely eleven days old when brought to the clinic of petitioner. She
was born on 15 March 1977. [3] Michael was 11 days old when Ayuban brought him to petitioners
clinic. His date of birth is 1 August 1983.[4]
The spouses reared and cared for the children as if they were their own. They sent the children to
exclusive schools. They used the surname Lim in all their school records and documents.
Unfortunately, on 28 November 1998, Lim died. On 27 December 2000, petitioner married Angel
Olario (Olario), an American citizen.
Thereafter, petitioner decided to adopt the children by availing of the amnesty [5] given under
Republic Act No. 8552[6] (RA 8552) to those individuals who simulated the birth of a child. Thus,
on 24 April 2002, petitioner filed separate petitions for the adoption of Michelle and Michael
before the trial court docketed as SPL PROC. Case Nos. 1258 and 1259, respectively. At the time
of the filing of the petitions for adoption, Michelle was 25 years old and already married, while
Michael was 18 years and seven months old.
Michelle and her husband gave their consent to the adoption as evidenced by their Affidavits of
Consent.[7] Michael also gave his consent to his adoption as shown in his Affidavit of Consent.
Petitioners husband Olario likewise executed an Affidavit of Consent [9] for the adoption of
Michelle and Michael.
In the Certification issued by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD),
Michelle was considered as an abandoned child andthe whereabouts of her natural parents were
unknown.[10] The DSWD issued a similar Certification for Michael. [11]
The Ruling of the Trial Court
On 15 September 2004, the trial court rendered judgment dismissing the petitions. The trial court
ruled that since petitioner had remarried, petitioner should have filed the petition jointly with her
new husband. The trial court ruled that joint adoption by the husband and the wife is mandatory
citing Section 7(c), Article III of RA 8552 and Article 185 of the Family Code.
Petitioner filed a Motion for Reconsideration of the decision but the motion was denied in the
Order dated 16 June 2005. In denying the motion, the trial court ruled that petitioner did not fall
under any of the exceptions under Section 7(c), Article III of RA 8552. Petitioners argument that
mere consent of her husband would suffice was untenable because, under the law, there are
additional requirements, such as residency and certification of his qualification, which the
husband, who was not even made a party in this case, must comply.
As to the argument that the adoptees are already emancipated and joint adoption is merely for the
joint exercise of parental authority, the trial court ruled that joint adoption is not only for the
purpose of exercising parental authority because an emancipated child acquires certain rights
from his parents and assumes certain obligations and responsibilities.
Hence, the present petition.
Petitioner appealed directly to this Court raising the sole issue of whether or not petitioner, who
has remarried, can singly adopt.
The Courts Ruling
Petitioner contends that the rule on joint adoption must be relaxed because it is the duty of the
court and the State to protect the paramount interest and welfare of the child to be adopted.
Petitioner argues that the legal maxim dura lex sed lex is not applicable to adoption cases. She
argues that joint parental authority is not necessary in this case since, at the time the petitions
were filed, Michelle was 25 years old and already married, while Michael was already 18 years of
age. Parental authority is not anymore necessary since they have been emancipated having
attained the age of majority.
We deny the petition.
Joint Adoption by Husband and Wife
It is undisputed that, at the time the petitions for adoption were filed, petitioner had already
remarried. She filed the petitions by herself, without being joined by her husband Olario. We have
no other recourse but to affirm the trial courts decision denying the petitions for adoption. Dura
lex sed lex. The law is explicit. Section 7, Article III of RA 8552 reads:
SEC. 7. Who May Adopt. - The following may adopt:
(a) Any Filipino citizen of legal age, in possession of full civil capacity and legal
rights, of good moral character, has not been convicted of any crime involving
moral turpitude, emotionally and psychologically capable of caring for children,
at least sixteen (16) years older than the adoptee, and who is in a position to
support and care for his/her children in keeping with the means of the family. The
requirement of sixteen (16) year difference between the age of the adopter and
adoptee may be waived when the adopter is the biological parent of the adoptee,
or is the spouse of the adoptees parent;
(b) Any alien possessing the same qualifications as above stated for Filipino
nationals: Provided, That his/her country has diplomatic relations with the
Republic of the Philippines, that he/she has been living in the Philippines for at
least three (3) continuous years prior to the filing of the application for adoption
and maintains such residence until the adoption decree is entered, that he/she has
been certified by his/her diplomatic or consular office or any appropriate
government agency that he/she has the legal capacity to adopt in his/her country,
and that his/her government allows the adoptee to enter his/her country as his/her
adopted son/daughter: Provided, further, That the requirements on residency and
certification of the aliens qualification to adopt in his/her country may be waived
for the following:
(i) a former Filipino citizen who seeks to adopt a relative within the
fourth (4th) degree of consanguinity or affinity; or
(ii) one who seeks to adopt the legitimate son/daughter of his/her Filipino
spouse; or
(iii) one who is married to a Filipino citizen and seeks to adopt jointly
with his/her spouse a relative within the fourth (4th) degree of
consanguinity or affinity of the Filipino spouses; or
(c) The guardian with respect to the ward after the termination of the
guardianship and clearance of his/her financial accountabilities.
Husband and wife shall jointly adopt, except in the following cases:
(i) if one spouse seeks to adopt the legitimate son/daughter of the other;
(ii) if one spouse seeks to adopt his/her own illegitimate
son/daughter: Provided, however, That the other spouse has signified
his/her consent thereto; or
(iii) if the spouses are legally separated from each other.
In case husband and wife jointly adopt, or one spouse adopts the illegitimate
son/daughter of the other, joint parental authority shall be exercised by the
spouses. (Emphasis supplied)
The use of the word shall in the above-quoted provision means that joint adoption by the husband
and the wife is mandatory. This is in consonance with the concept of joint parental authority over
the child which is the ideal situation. As the child to be adopted is elevated to the level of a
legitimate child, it is but natural to require the spouses to adopt jointly. The rule also insures
harmony between the spouses.[12]
The law is clear. There is no room for ambiguity. Petitioner, having remarried at the time the
petitions for adoption were filed, must jointly adopt. Since the petitions for adoption were filed
only by petitioner herself, without joining her husband, Olario, the trial court was correct in
denying the petitions for adoption on this ground.
Neither does petitioner fall under any of the three exceptions enumerated in Section 7. First, the
children to be adopted are not the legitimate children of petitioner or of her husband Olario.
Second, the children are not the illegitimate children of petitioner. And third, petitioner and Olario
are not legally separated from each other.
The fact that Olario gave his consent to the adoption as shown in his Affidavit of Consent does
not suffice. There are certain requirements that Olario must comply being an American citizen.
He must meet the qualifications set forth in Section 7 of RA 8552 such as: (1) he must prove that
his country has diplomatic relations with the Republic of the Philippines; (2) he must have been
living in the Philippines for at least three continuous years prior to the filing of the application for
adoption; (3) he must maintain such residency until the adoption decree is entered; (4) he has
legal capacity to adopt in his own country; and (5) the adoptee is allowed to enter the adopters
country as the latters adopted child. None of these qualifications were shown and proved during
the trial.
These requirements on residency and certification of the aliens qualification to adopt cannot
likewise be waived pursuant to Section 7. The children or adoptees are not relatives within the
fourth degree of consanguinity or affinity of petitioner or of Olario. Neither are the adoptees the
legitimate children of petitioner.
Effects of Adoption
Petitioner contends that joint parental authority is not anymore necessary since the children have
been emancipated having reached the age of majority. This is untenable.
Parental authority includes caring for and rearing the children for civic consciousness and
efficiency and the development of their moral, mental and physical character and well-being.
The father and the mother shall jointly exercise parental authority over the persons of their
common children.[14] Even the remarriage of the surviving parent shall not affect the parental
authority over the children, unless the court appoints another person to be the guardian of the
person or property of the children.[15]
It is true that when the child reaches the age of emancipation that is, when he attains the age of
majority or 18 years of age [16] emancipation terminates parental authority over the person and
property of the child, who shall then be qualified and responsible for all acts of civil life.
However, parental authority is merely just one of the effects of legal adoption. Article V of RA
8552 enumerates the effects of adoption, thus:
SEC. 16. Parental Authority. - Except in cases where the biological parent is the
spouse of the adopter, all legal ties between the biological parent(s) and the
adoptee shall be severed and the same shall then be vested on the adopter(s).
SEC. 17. Legitimacy. - The adoptee shall be considered the legitimate
son/daughter of the adopter(s) for all intents and purposes and as such is entitled
to all the rights and obligations provided by law to legitimate sons/daughters born
to them without discrimination of any kind. To this end, the adoptee is entitled to
love, guidance, and support in keeping with the means of the family.
SEC. 18. Succession. - In legal and intestate succession, the adopter(s) and the
adoptee shall have reciprocal rights of succession without distinction from
legitimate filiation. However, if the adoptee and his/her biological parent(s) had
left a will, the law on testamentary succession shall govern.
Adoption has, thus, the following effects: (1) sever all legal ties between the biological parent(s)
and the adoptee, except when the biological parent is the spouse of the adopter; (2) deem the
adoptee as a legitimate child of the adopter; and (3) give adopter and adoptee reciprocal rights
and obligations arising from the relationship of parent and child, including but not limited to: (i)
the right of the adopter to choose the name the child is to be known; and (ii) the right of the
adopter and adoptee to be legal and compulsory heirs of each other. [18] Therefore, even if
emancipation terminates parental authority, the adoptee is still considered a legitimate child of the
adopter with all the rights[19] of a legitimate child such as: (1) to bear the surname of the father
and the mother; (2) to receive support from their parents; and (3) to be entitled to the legitime and
other successional rights. Conversely, the adoptive parents shall, with respect to the adopted
child, enjoy all the benefits to which biological parents are entitled [20] such as support[21] and
successional rights.[22]
We are mindful of the fact that adoption statutes, being humane and salutary, hold the interests
and welfare of the child to be of paramount consideration. They are designed to provide homes,
parental care and education for unfortunate, needy or orphaned children and give them the
protection of society and family, as well as to allow childless couples or persons to experience the
joys of parenthood and give them legally a child in the person of the adopted for the
manifestation of their natural parental instincts. Every reasonable intendment should be sustained
to promote and fulfill these noble and compassionate objectives of the law.[23] But, as we have
ruled in Republic v. Vergara:[24]
We are not unmindful of the main purpose of adoption statutes, which is the
promotion of the welfare of the children. Accordingly, the law should be
construed liberally, in a manner that will sustain rather than defeat said purpose.
The law must also be applied with compassion, understanding and less severity in
view of the fact that it is intended to provide homes, love, care and education for
less fortunate children. Regrettably, the Court is not in a position to affirm the
trial courts decision favoring adoption in the case at bar, for the law is clear and
it cannot be modified without violating the proscription against judicial
legislation. Until such time however, that the law on the matter is amended, we
cannot sustain the respondent-spouses petition for adoption. (Emphasis supplied)
Petitioner, being married at the time the petitions for adoption were filed, should have jointly filed
the petitions with her husband. We cannot make our own legislation to suit petitioner.
Petitioner, in her Memorandum, insists that subsequent events would show that joint adoption
could no longer be possible because Olario has filed a case for dissolution of his marriage to
petitioner in the Los Angeles Superior Court.
We disagree. The filing of a case for dissolution of the marriage between petitioner and Olario is
of no moment. It is not equivalent to a decree of dissolution of marriage. Until and unless there is
a judicial decree for the dissolution of the marriage between petitioner and Olario, the marriage
still subsists. That being the case, joint adoption by the husband and the wife is required. We
reiterate our ruling above that since, at the time the petitions for adoption were filed, petitioner
was married to Olario, joint adoption is mandatory.
WHEREFORE, we DENY the petition. We AFFIRM the Decision dated 15 September 2004 of
the Regional Trial Court, General Santos City, Branch 22 in SPL. PROC. Case Nos. 1258 and
1259. Costs against petitioner.
Penned by Judge Antonio C. Lubao. Records of SPL. PROC. Case No. 1258, pp. 161-162
and SPL. PROC. Case No. 1259, pp. 163-164.
Three children were actually entrusted to petitioner and Lim. The third, who was named
Primo Jude P. Lim, was still a minor at the time the petition for adoption was filed. The case
was docketed as SPL. PROC. No. 1260. Petitioner opted not to appeal the decision insofar as the
minor Primo Jude P. Lim was concerned.
Records (SPL. PROC. Case No. 1258), pp. 94-96.
Section 22 of RA 8552 provides:
SEC. 22. Rectification of Simulated Births.- A person who has, prior to the effectivity of this
Act, simulated the birth of a child shall not be punished for such act: Provided, That the
simulation of birth was made for the best interest of the child and that he/she has been
considered and
his/her
son/daughter: Provided, further, That the application for correction of the birth registration and
petition for adoption shall be filed within five (5) years from the effectivity of this Act and
completed thereafter: Provided, finally, That such person complies with the procedure as
specified in Article IV of this Act and other requirements as determined by the Department.

SWOT is an acronym that is used by business owners to describe a business's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. The term can be applied to marketing as well. Strengths and weaknesses are viewed by the manager as internal factors while opportunities are viewed as external factors. This means that the business can have direct impact and results on their own strengths and weaknesses by improving company practices. Opportunities and threats are external meaning that the company has little control over the factors that make them up. All four factors work together and can influence one another to have a greater effect.
A SWOT analysis is something that many companies will conduct when doing product research, marketing research or just looking for general business practices improvements. It is a strategic planning technique that takes time, analyzation and statistics to determine measurable courses of action to take from the reporting.
A marketing SWOT analysis could be used for a variety of purposes. It could be used to analyze advertising campaigns, digital marketing techniques, public relations, product improvement and much more. If your company wants to improve its marketing techniques and practices, a SWOT analysis is one of the first steps to get started in the right direction.
Strength is an internal factor that your company has. These are the capabilities and resources that your business possesses to give you a competitive advantage. It is important to be aware of these so that you can continue to capitalize on what you are good at and continue to be profitable. Examples within a marketing SWOT analysis are brand name recognition, brand loyalty, proven customer bases, superior packaging and optimized website content.
Determining a strength within marketing can be difficult. It depends on what your overall analysis is targeting. If you are conducting a SWOT for digital marketing, you may utilize Google Analytics and report on those metrics to find strengths. Other areas could include comparing your company data to the industry average and determining if it is above par.
A weakness is an internal factor that you are not performing well at. Weaknesses can be difficult to spot because some companies do not want to admit their areas of improvement. It is okay not to make it public what your weaknesses are but as long as you know internally what they are you can take action to improve them for the future. Examples of weaknesses can be realizing you are providing a similar product to the market that is overpriced or having an unreliable service within a business offering.
Once you figure out your weaknesses, you can determine the best course of action for turning them into strengths. If you see that your social media presence is weak, you can optimize the different platforms to reach more users and then track data to see improvements.
An opportunity is an external factor that you can capitalize on. In a SWOT this can be the most lucrative areas of study for marketing. These are the moves your company will take to enhance its market positioning. When a competitor creates an error or product defect, it is a huge opportunity for you to steal their part of market share and gain some customers that may be willing to switch over to your brand. Opportunities can also be more subtle so it is important to stay aware of the news and current happenings around your company and also in your market sector.
To find opportunities, stay on top of industry trends and keep a close observation of external factors like competitors, suppliers, manufacturers and relevant supply chain businesses. Culture trends and demographic shifts can also present lucrative opportunities in marketing. An example of this is Google switching to a stronger importance on Mobile indexing. This means that how your website experience is on mobile can affect the rankings and traffic you see to your site. As a marketing manager, you will want to capitalize on the opportunity by having your search engine optimization team (SEO) prepare your mobile-friendly site.
A threat in marketing SWOT can show how vulnerable your company is to its competitors or outside industry factors. Threats are an area that you want to monitor and observe closely. An example of a threat is a company that participates in traditional advertising like radio, billboards and print might be threatened by new companies entering their market who have a focus on search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, social media and digital web capabilities. To combat with a threat like this, it is critical for the company to determine if adapting to a similar strategy is the right move for the marketing of the company.
The 4 P's of marketing are factors that are relevant to your SWOT. They are four things that you should be very familiar with and learn how they fit into your marketing SWOT analysis.
Price – You should know the price of your service or product and how it compares to competitors and the industry average. It is okay if you are priced higher than the average, just as long as you understand why it is. Price can act as a strength or weakness since you are the one determining it.
Product – The product is what you know inside and out. If you need to know more about your own product or service consider conducting market research to understand better how your customer base interacts with the product. Market research will help you gain the opinions and recommendations from those buying the product.
Promotion – Your promotion strategy is a large part of marketing. Promotion can be anything from coupons, specials and sales to only dealing with select retailors to give your product a certain image. Promotion strategies can offer lucrative opportunities and should be researched to learn what will get the next customer to buy your product.
Place – The place is where you are selling your product. Luxury items are often only found in high-end retailors and not big box department stores. Where you choose to place a product can change how the product is viewed by your customers.
As a manager, CEO, CMO or any other high-level position within a company, it is paramount that you know your SWOT. If your position within the company deals with marketing or sales, then you should have an understanding of a marketing SWOT analysis.
It is important because a SWOT is what gives your business its edge on the competition. Other companies will be conducting SWOT analyses on you so to stay ahead of them you should be conducting them not only on yourself but with other relevant competitors. A SWOT can help you learn different things about your business that you may have never known otherwise. Marketing can utilize SWOT analyses to determine the most cost-effective advertising areas and campaigns.

Sargatanas Reign - _Bloodwork_
(Regain Records, 2005)
by: Jackie Smit (8 out of 10)
It's fascinating to consider the impact that something trivial and seemingly entirely insignificant can make, particularly when it comes to the arts. Take Sargatanas Reign for example. Performing a fairly typical brand of old school US death metal, _Bloodwork_ could just as easily be another above-average release to be enjoyed for a few fleeting moments, before being discarded like yesterday's newspaper. Instead, by incorporating some truly unique, inventive and, more importantly, noticeable bass-lines into their material, this Swedish five-piece transform themselves into a proposition that's altogether more interesting and remains captivating for the majority of the record. Subsequently, the other ingredients in the band's brutal cocktail also end up sounding ever-so-slightly more lethal -- which in a genre so saturated with talent is not a negligible achievement at all.

If you happen to have a jailbroken iPhone/iPod or iPad and you are a developer, you might have run into a problem with InApp purchase testing (it simply won't work). For me the jailbreak is a must-have so that I had to figure out the reason for these problems.
The problem is AppSync but there are two versions of it.
The broblem is not the jailbreak itself, but a lousy AppSync patch. For me it worked so well that it patched installd without doing any backup! The file which is patched is /usr/libexec/installd. All you need is to temporary restore the original installd. If there is no installd.bak, installd.backup nor installd.original present, you need to get them from the firmware ipsw.
Find a key to decrypt root filesystem dmg, e.g. here. There you will find the name of the dmg with file system root as well.
Use VFDecrypt to decrypt the dmg using the key from the previous step.
Mount the dmg or extract it, look at /usr/libexec.
Hurray! You have the original installd.
Make sure to delete old provisioning profiles and reinstall your test app (delete and install via xcode again).
AppSync on newer firmwares is mobilesubstrate tweak located at /Library/MobileSubstrate/DynamicLibraries/AppSync.dylib.
You can just rename it to something like .dylib.disabled and restart installd by executing "killall installd" as root.
P.S. If you can't get through "Verification needed" message, create a new test user and DO NOT LOG IN THIS USER IN SETTINGS APP. The test user must not have a credit card assigned and should only be logged in after the purchase process is started inside a test app.


purposes: By establishing a local corporation, a local branch, or a liaison office.
The procedure for establishing a local corporation consists of foreign investment notification, registration of incorporation, registration of business and foreign-invested company registration.
The Commercial Act recognizes five forms of companies - partnership company, limited partnership company, limited liability company, limited company, and stock company. Most companies fall into the category of "stock company".
There are two types of domestic branches: a branch and a liaison office.
The establishment of a domestic branch is not recognized as foreign investment under the Foreign Investment Promotion Act, and is regulated by the Foreign Exchange Transactions Act.

We paid the extra fee to have our original email template revised to more phone friendly; yet we still hear from some of our contacts (and we've even seen it ourselves, at times) that the email didn't look good on their phone. Comments ranged from simply "not right" to "looked like a mess".
Can't help but wonder if we wasted our money and should have just left it as it was.
Even the most mobile responsive template can still have occasional display issues depending on the content. For example, particularly large text can end up taking up too much space, or being pushed down to other lines. Images can display too large, or too small, etc. We'd be happy to help get that fixed, so that you can have the look you're wanting. If you have some more specific examples of what's wrong, we can certainly take a look for you though.

A reflection renderer generates the reflection of a given picture. The result can be either the reflection itself, or an image containing both the source image and its reflection.
opacity: the opacity of the reflection. You will usually change this valued according to the background color.
length: the length of the reflection. The length is a fraction of the height of the source image.
blur enabled: perfect reflections are hardly natural. You can blur the reflection to make it look a bit more natural.
This renderer allows to register property change listeners with addPropertyChangeListener(java.beans.PropertyChangeListener). Listening to properties changes is very useful when you emebed the renderer in a graphical component and give the API user the ability to access the renderer. By listening to properties changes, you can easily repaint the component when needed.
ReflectionRenderer is not guaranteed to be thread-safe.
Identifies a change to the blurring of the rendered reflection.
Identifies a change to the length of the rendered reflection.
Identifies a change to the opacity used to render the reflection.
Creates a default good looking reflections generator.
Creates a default good looking reflections generator with the specified opacity.
Creates a reflections generator with the specified properties.
Returns the source image and its reflection.
Returns the reflection of the source image.
Returns the radius, in pixels, of the blur used by this renderer when isBlurEnabled() is true.
Returns the effective radius, in pixels, of the blur used by this renderer when isBlurEnabled() is true.
Returns the length of the reflection.
Gets the opacity used by the factory to generate reflections.
Returns true if the blurring of the reflection is enabled, false otherwise.
Setting the blur to true will enable the blurring of the reflection when createReflection(java.awt.image.BufferedImage) is invoked.
Sets the radius, in pixels, of the blur used by this renderer when isBlurEnabled() is true.
Sets the length of the reflection, as a fraction of the height of the source image.
Sets the opacity used by the factory to generate reflections.
These properties provide a regular, good looking reflection.
Creates a reflections generator with the specified properties. Both opacity and length are numbers between 0.0 (0%) and 1.0 (100%). If the provided numbers are outside this range, they are clamped.
The opacity is comprised between 0.0f and 1.0f; 0.0f being fully transparent and 1.0f fully opaque.
Consecutive calls to createReflection(java.awt.image.BufferedImage) will all use this opacity until it is set again.
The opacity is comprised between 0.0f and 1.0f; 0.0f being fully transparent and 1.0f fully opaque. If you provide a value out of these boundaries, it will be restrained to the closest boundary.
Returns the length of the reflection. The result is a number between 0.0 and 1.0. This number is the fraction of the height of the source image that is used to compute the size of the reflection.
Returns true if the blurring of the reflection is enabled, false otherwise. When blurring is enabled, the reflection is blurred to look more natural.
Enabling the blurring of the reflection can yield to more natural results which may or may not be better looking, depending on the source picture.
Sets the radius, in pixels, of the blur used by this renderer when isBlurEnabled() is true. This radius changes the size of the generated image when blurring is applied.
Returns the source image and its reflection. The appearance of the reflection is defined by the opacity, the length and the blur properties.
The width of the generated image will be augmented when isBlurEnabled() is true. The generated image will have the width of the source image plus twice the effective blur radius (see getEffectiveBlurRadius()). The default blur radius is 1 so the width will be augmented by 6. You might need to take this into account at drawing time.
The returned image height depends on the value returned by getLength() and getEffectiveBlurRadius(). For instance, if the length is 0.5 (or 50%) and the source image is 480 pixels high, then the reflection will be 246 (480 * 0.5 + 3 * 2) pixels high.
You can create only the reflection by calling createReflection(java.awt.image.BufferedImage).
Returns the reflection of the source image. The appearance of the reflection is defined by the opacity, the length and the blur properties.
The returned image contains only the reflection. You will have to append it to the source image to produce the illusion of a reflective environement. The method appendReflection(java.awt.image.BufferedImage) provides an easy way to create an image containing both the source and the reflection.

Q: JS - Drag and Drop assistance I have a current working html/js code that allows me to move 4 objects into their respective DIV attributes, however, I'm completely confused on how to go about getting an alert to pop up once the user has ALL the images in their respective place. If anyone has a better way or can point me in the right direction, I'd greatly appreciate it. Here's my jsfiddle link below:
https://jsfiddle.net/crizil/z2zd6bfk/1/

    //allow ability to drop objects
    function dropEvent(ev) {
      ev.preventDefault();
     }

    //allow image dragging
    function dragEvent(ev) {
      ev.dataTransfer.setData('text', ev.target.id);
    }

    //drop image event
    function dropPic(ev) {
      ev.preventDefault();
      var data = ev.dataTransfer.getData('text');
    //make it to only drop in certain DIV attribute
       if (ev.target.getAttribute('data-drop') == data)
           ev.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(data));
     }

If I need to further clarify what I'm trying to do, let me know and I'll hopefully have a better way to communicate what I'm trying to do.

A: You can add a counter and check if it's equal to document.querySelectorAll('[data-drop]').length:
var counter = 0;
function dropPic(ev) {
      ev.preventDefault();
      var data = ev.dataTransfer.getData('text');
      //make it to only drop in certain DIV attribute
      if (ev.target.getAttribute('data-drop') == data) {
           ev.target.appendChild(document.getElementById(data));
           if (++counter == document.querySelectorAll('[data-drop]').length) {
              alert('all done');
           }
      }
}

La Contea Palatina di Sassonia fu uno stato del Sacro Romano Impero creato all'interno del ducato di Sassonia attorno alla metà del X secolo. Dopo la partizione del ducato di Sassonia del 1080, la contea palatina di Sassonia finì nell'orbita della parte orientale dei territori dell'ex-ducato.

Storia

I primi conti palatini e la casata di Goseck
Il re dei Franchi Orientali Ottone I istituì la contea palatina di Sassonia nella parte meridionale del ducato di Sassonia, nella regione di Saale-Unstrut. Il primo conte palatino fu Adalberone, al quale successe il genero Teodorico, padre di Bernardo di Hildesheim. In seguito, ricevette la carica anche il conte Federico di Harzgau. Successivamente, la contea palatina di Sassonia divenne possesso stabile della casata di Goseck, presumibilmente imparentata con i Wettin. Il primo conte palatino di Sassoni della casata di Goseck fu Burcardo I, figlio di Burcardo IV di Hassegau. I discendenti di Burcardo ressero la contea palatina di Sassonia quasi ininterrottamente fino al 1179, quando morì senza eredi diretti il conte palatino Adalberto. Uniche interruzioni furono la brevissima parentesi di Guglielmo IV di Weimar nel 1042 e il conflitto che oppose Federico VI, partigiano di Lotario II di Supplimburgo, e Ermanno II di Winzenburg, alleato di Corrado III di Svevia.

I Ludovingi, gli Ascanidi e i Wettin
Con l'estinzione della casata di Goseck, la contea palatina di Sassonia fu assegnata dall'imperatore Federico Barbarossa al langravio di Turingia Ludovico III, appartenente alla dinastia dei Ludovingi. Ludovico III lasciò la contea palatina a suo fratello Ermanno I nel 1181. Nel 1217, dopo la morte di Ermanno I, la contea palatina di Sassonia venne ereditata dal figlio Ludovico IV, che morì durante il viaggio per la sesta crociata nel 1127. Alla morte di Ludovico IV suo fratello Enrico Raspe assunse la reggenza per conto del nipote Ermanno II, il quale, però, morì nel 1241 all'età di diciannove anni. Così Enrico Raspe ereditò ufficialmente il langraviato di Turingia e la contea palatina di Sassonia, ma poiché non aveva figli maschi legittimi, nel 1242 ottenne dall'imperatore Federico lI che suo nipote Enrico l'Illustre, appartenente alla casata di Wettin, fosse riconosciuto erede della contea palatina di Sassonia e del langraviato di Turingia.

Lo scontro che oppose Alberto II ai suoi figli portò alla spartizione dei domini della casata in conseguenza del Trattato di Rochlitz del 1º gennaio 1289. In particolare, la contea palatina di Sassonia venne assegnata al secondogenito Federico, che ne entrò effettivamente possesso nel 1291. Tuttavia, poco prima che Federico ne prendesse possesso, un sempre più indebitato Alberto II vendette al margravio di Brandeburgo Ottone IV la parte meridionale della contea palatina di Sassonia, che prese il nome di contea palatina di Turingia. Quest'ultima aveva il suo centro principale nella città di Bad Lauchstädt e tornò in possesso dei Wettin soltanto nel 1347 con Federico II.

La situazione venne complicata dall'intervento dei sovrani di Germania, che si ritennero in dovere di risolvere il conflitto dinastico, sfruttando l'occasione per attribuire posizioni di potere ai loro sostenitori. Infatti, sempre nel 1291 il re dei Romani Rodolfo I d'Asburgo nominò Enrico I di Brunswick-Lüneburg conte palatino di Sassonia in opposizione a Federico. La situazione si risolse soltanto con la morte di Enrico di Brunswick nel 1322, seguito l'anno dopo dal suo rivale Federico.

Dopo la partizione della Sassonia voluta da Federico Barbarossa nel 1180, ciò che rimaneva dell'antico ducato venne assegnata alla dinastia degli Ascanidi, che nel 1260 si divisero nelle linee rivali di Sassonia-Wittenberg e di Sassonia-Lauenburg. Inoltre, i due rami si contesero a lungo l'antico privilegio dei duchi di Sassonia di partecipare all'elezione reale di Germania. Il conflitto venne risolto soltanto con la Bolla d'oro del 1356, con la quale l'imperatore Carlo IV assegnò al duca di Sassonia-Wittenberg Rodolfo I il titolo di principe elettore.

Insieme al titolo elettorale, il sovrano assegnò alla Sassonia-Wittenberg la contea palatina di Sassonia, mentre la contea palatina di Turingia restò appannaggio dei Wettin. Nel 1363 Rodolfo II pose la capitale della contea palatina di Sassonia ad Allstedt. Nel 1422 si estinse il ramo di Wittenberg e il re dei Romani Sigismondo di Lussemburgo, ignorando le rivendicazioni del ramo di Lauenburg, consegnò l'elettorato, comprendente la contea palatina di Sassonia, al margravio di Meißen Federico. Fu così che la contea palatina di Sassonia tornò a essere un possesso dei Wettin, che con Federico II riunificarono i loro possedimenti grazie all'aggiunta del langraviato di Turingia, ereditato dal cugino Federico IV. Tuttavia, già la generazione successiva le terre dei Wettin vennero nuovamente spartite con il Trattato di Lipsia dell'11 novembre 1485, che sancì il passaggio delle contee palatine di Sassonia e di Turingia al ramo ernestino.

La giurisdizione su Allstedt
Ad Allstedt sorgeva un castello risalente al XIII secolo che venne gestito per conto dei Wettin dai signori di Querfurt dal 1369 al 1496. Nel 1526 i Wettin cedettero la giurisdizione su Allstedt al conte Alberto di Mansfeld, che nel 1542 dovette a sua volta cederla in pegno al conte di Stolberg a causa dei suoi pesanti debiti. Nel 1575 i conti di Stolberg persero i loro diritti sulla giurisdizione di Allstedt che tornò al ramo ernestino dei Wettin.

Geografia
Oltre ad Allstedt la contea palatina di Sassonia includeva i villaggi di Mönchpfiffel, Niederröblingen, Einzingen, Klosternaundorf, Winkel, Wolferstedt e Mittelhausen, nonché il monastero di Sittichenbach con Groß- e Klein-Osterhausen e Rothenschirmbach.

Q: Checking Uniform Contuinity Check if the function is uniformly continuous: $\sqrt(x)\sin(x)$,
In 0 to $\inf$
I dont think anything will happen using the definition of uniform contuinity. I cannot think of any sequence for sequential characterisation.

A: This clearly won't be uniformly continuous.
To see this, pick $\varepsilon > 0$ and try to find a $\delta > 0$, such that no matter from where in the real line you pick any $x,y \in \mathbb{R}^+$, if your $x,y$ are close enough to each other (i.e. $|x-y| < \delta$), then the distance $|f(x) - f(y)| < \varepsilon$; (where $f$ is your  function).
This clearly can't happen as $\sqrt{x}$ is unbounded over the positive reals.
Suppose you have an $\varepsilon, \delta > 0$ pair you want to test. Now you pick $x_1, y_1, x_2, y_2$ such that $|x_1 - y_1|, |x_2 - y_2| < \delta$, but $x_2$ and $y_2$ are greater than $x_1, y_1$, respectively. Then the amplitude of your function $f$ will be far greater around the second set of points than the first. So the fact that $f(x_1), f(y_1)$ were $\varepsilon$-close, does not guarantee that $f(x_2), f(y_2)$ will be as well.
The key point here is that uniform continuity depends only on the value of $\varepsilon$ and not on where in the domain your points of interest are.
