Q: Minimize $xy$ over $x^2+y^2+z^2=7$ and $xy+xz+yz=4$.
Let $x,$ $y,$ and $z$ be real numbers such that $x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 7$ and $xy + xz + yz = 4.$ Find the smallest possible value of $xy.$

I used Cauchy to get $$(x^2+y^2+z^2)(1^2+1^2+1^2)\geq (x+y+z)^2$$ and $$(x^2+y^2+z^2)(y^2+z^2+x^2)\geq(xy+xz+yz)^2,$$ but this doesn't do much as both of the inequalities already work. :( Any guidance would be appreciated!!
Thanks in advance!!!
P.S. I've been given that this can be solved by Lagrange multipliers, but I haven't learned it yet. Hopefully, someone can give me hints on a method that doesn't involve Lagrange multipliers. :)

A: I would start with noticing that
\begin{align*}
(x + y + z)^{2} = x^{2} + y^{2} + z^{2} + 2(xy + xz + yz) = 15
\end{align*}
Therefore $x + y + z = \pm\sqrt{15} =: k$. Better saying, $z = k - x - y$.
Then we arrive at the relation
\begin{align*}
xy + xz + yz & = xy + z(x + y)\\\\
& = xy + (k - (x + y))(x + y)\\\\
& = xy + k(x + y) - (x + y)^{2} = 4\\\\
& \Rightarrow xy = (x + y)^{2} - k(x + y) + 4
\end{align*}
Let us make the change of variable $t = x + y$.
Then we are interested in the minimum value of the RHS above, which is given by $1/4$ as follows:
\begin{align*}
t^{2} - kt + 4 & = \left(t^{2} - kt + \frac{k^{2}}{4}\right) + 4 - \frac{k^{2}}{4}\\\\
& = \left(t - \frac{k}{2}\right)^{2} + 4 - \frac{15}{4} \geq \frac{1}{4}
\end{align*}
Hence the minimum value of $xy$ satisfying the proposed constraints equals $1/4$.
Hopefully this helps !
EDIT
As an answer to the (well posed) comment of @RobPratt, we must show such value is attained.
Indeed, this is the case as the following system of equations show:
\begin{align*}
\begin{cases}
xy = \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\
x + y = \dfrac{\sqrt{15}}{2}
\end{cases} & \Longleftrightarrow
\begin{cases}
x = \dfrac{\sqrt{15} \mp \sqrt{11}}{4}\\\\
y = \dfrac{\sqrt{15} \pm \sqrt{11}}{4}
\end{cases}
\end{align*}
as well as the following system of equations:
\begin{align*}
\begin{cases}
xy = \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\
x + y = -\dfrac{\sqrt{15}}{2}
\end{cases} & \Longleftrightarrow
\begin{cases}
x = -\dfrac{\sqrt{15} \mp \sqrt{11}}{4}\\\\
y = -\dfrac{\sqrt{15} \pm \sqrt{11}}{4}
\end{cases}
\end{align*}

A: $x^2+y^2+z^2 = 7$ and $xy +xz + yz = 4$
implies
$x+y+z = \pm\sqrt{15}$
Now using the second equality that is given in the question, we get
$xy  =4 -(x+y)z = 4 -  (\pm\sqrt{15} - z)z$

*

*Case 1: When $x+y+z=\sqrt{15}$, minimising the right hand side with respect to $z$ gives $z = \frac{\sqrt{15}}{2}$. So, minimum value of $xy$ is $4 -  (\sqrt{15} - z)z= 4-\frac{15}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$.

*Case 2: When $x+y+z=-\sqrt{15}$, minimising the right hand side with respect to $z$ gives $z = -\frac{\sqrt{15}}{2}$. So, minimum value of $xy$ is $4 -  (-\sqrt{15} - z)z= 4-\frac{15}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$.

So the minimum value of $xy$ is $\frac{1}{4}$.

Redskins-Cowboys: Ingredients For Victory
The Redskins.com crew breaks down the key players and matchups to keep an eye on during Sunday's Redskins-Cowboys 2017 Week 8 showdown at FedExField in Landover, Md.
"Redskins-Cowboys: Ingredients For Victory" is presented by Papa John's.

HOLD UP ALONG THE LINE
One of the biggest question marks for the Redskins entering Sunday's game is the status of the offensive line.
Of the normal starters, only Shawn Lauvao wasn't listed on the week's injury report. Center Spencer Long (knees), guard Brand Scherff (knee/back) and tackles Trent Williams (knee) and Morgan Moses (ankles) all appeared, though, as the Redskins try to determine which offensive line will be the best group to roll out against the Cowboys.
Because of the injuries along the line (backups Ty Nsekhe and Tyler Catalina also were on the injury report), the Redskins had to modify the week's schedule. Instead of a normal practice on Wednesday, the team went through a walkthrough before beginning on-field work Thursday.
The Redskins could see Chase Roullier make his first career start, as the rookie can play both center and guard.
"That's kind of been my role here, just to fill in wherever I'm needed in those inside three positions," Roullier said. "It's what I've been preparing for in practice this entire season, so I felt pretty prepared to play whatever position I needed to. Obviously, it's always tough whenever so many guys are going down and you're flipping around all sorts of different positions. It's something that I've been practicing for and it went pretty well."
Depending on how many of the linemen are inactive on Sunday, Washington may also need to play a new face. On Wednesday, the team announced the signing of six-year veteran offensive lineman Tony Bergstrom.
Bergstrom's played for the Oakland Raiders, Houston Texans, Arizona Cardinals and Baltimore Ravens in his career, appearing in 44 regular season games with four starts.
While Bergstrom's turnaround from free agent to potentially playing in a crucial NFC East game in the matter of days isn't ideal, he has both the experience and the versatility to be an asset.
"That's something that I've been able to do, I've been able to learn offenses quickly and pretty much play any position that I need to," Bergstrom said. "I've played every spot from left tight end to right tight end and everything in between. Whatever I need to do, it's what I'm here to do."
(Stephen Czarda)
PLAY TO THE OFFENSE'S STRENGTHS
Washington truly has a luxury with their tight end corps.
Some teams across the NFL barely get contributions from their tight ends, as there isn't exactly a surplus of players who can play the position and be factors for opposing defenses.
But for the Redskins, Jordan Reed, Vernon Davis and even Niles Paul can create mismatch nightmares. And when either two or all three are on the field at the same time, it causes headaches for defensive coordinators.
"Really, some of our best offensive stuff comes out of two-tight-end sets and one back," Gruden said this week. "Three-tight-end sets and one back, we're very successful."
Reed broke out this past Monday against the Eagles, twice finding the end zone in the second half. Davis, meanwhile, leads all NFL players in average yards per reception (19.5) and Paul has shown throughout his career to be effective both a pass-catcher and blocker.
Trent Williams said that normally when teams deploy multiple tight end sets, it means a running play is likely to be called.
While the Redskins have certainly called running plays in these formations, Washington is in an "advantageous position" with the likes of Reed, Davis and Paul on the field together, as they've proven to be some of Washington's best receivers over the last few years.
"At every position on the field, you're trying to look for favorable matchups and mismatches and sometimes we find that that happens with our three-tight-end or two-tight-end personnel groupings," Cousins said. "When you can have your whole offense available to you because of the talent we have at tight end, but stay in those three-tight-end sets, I think it can give defenses a lot of challenges as to, 'Do we put a bunch of athletes on the field? Do we put a bunch of guys who can stop the run? How do we defend that?' Week to week, teams are going to have a different approach."
USE THE RIVALRY AS MOTIVATION
The rivalry that the Redskins and Cowboys share is unique one.
Redskins-Cowboys Through The Years
A look back at some of the top images in games between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys.
Washington D.C. and Dallas are not neighbors by any means – the two cities are 1,300 miles apart – and the rivalry was not triggered by one player or coach. Rather, the bad blood that flows between these two teams is a result of many years of tight divisional clashes, standout individual performances and memorable moments.
The excitement surrounding a rivalry matchup like this serves as perfect motivation for a Redskins team looking to keep pace in the NFC East.
"It's just one of those games that everybody around the league looks forward to," said running back Chris Thompson. "Even if you're not fans of us or the Cowboys, everybody looks forward to the Redskins and the Cowboys playing against each other. It's very exciting for me to be a part of it."
On an individual scale, Thompson should have his work cut out for him as he battles a Dallas run defense that is led by 2016 All-Pro linebacker Sean Lee. Thompson, the team leader in both rushing and receiving yards, has benefitted from a breakout season, topping the NFL in receiving yards by a running back.
The matchup on the outside features two of the game's best. Cornerback Josh Norman, while his status for Sunday is still in question, is slated take on Dez Bryant, a three-time Pro Bowler whom Redskins fans have become quite familiar with over the years. While Norman's tenure in Washington is still young, he has already formed somewhat of a connection with the star wideout.
"I don't know Dez, but they seem like they are very similar, very fiery type guys," Gruden said of the "rivalry" between Norman and Bryant. "[They] want to win, want to produce, want to be in the limelight and make plays and they both have done that in their careers and it's a great matchup always."
(Jay Cannon)
DON'T LET DALLAS' POTENT COMBO GET GOING
Quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott provide a hefty chunk of the Cowboys' total yardage, helped by a few other well-known stars like Bryant and tight end Jason Witten.
The Redskins, who are so far winless against the dynamic duo of Prescott and Elliott, will need a huge defensive effort to stop a Dallas offense that has put up 2,282 yards this season, the sixth most in the NFL.
Washington defensive lineman Terrell McClain knows all too well about how difficult it can be to stop Dallas' young playmakers. McClain spent three seasons with the Cowboys before coming to the Redskins in 2017.
"If I can catch [Prescott], I will try to hit him as hard as I can because I never got to in practice. I always got in trouble when I would come close to him," McClain said with a smile. "I've got to catch [Elliott] too. He's freaking fast. It's going to be fun."
Prescott, who took over as quarterback after Tony Romo went down with injury last season, looks to be on track for another impressive year with 1,426 passing yards and 14 touchdowns through seven weeks. However, Prescott's four interceptions already match his total from a year ago. Regardless of the missteps, Redskins head coach Jay Gruden said Prescott's growth has been impressive to watch.
"I don't really see any weaknesses in Dak's game. Coming out of college, you weren't sure how he would adapt to the pro-style game," Gruden said. "He did some things in college like that, but he's adapted extremely well – effortlessly, quite frankly – so he's one of the top-tier guys, I think."
Prescott's seamless transition to the NFL was no doubt aided by the consistent play of Elliott out of the backfield.
Elliot led the league in rushing last season with 1,631 yards, coming less than 200 yards away from the rookie rushing record. Elliott's productivity dipped slightly in 2016 with 540 yards so far, which ranks sixth in the league. The Cowboys' second-year back, who has dealt with off-the-field issues this season, said he always looks forward to playing against a familiar opponent like the Redskins'.
"These division games are always tough," Elliott said. "We know each other's schemes so well. So these division games are always exciting to go on because you just know it's going to be a challenge."

Q: Validation of Answer via Truth Table as Reason in Isolation I've tried various google and math.SE search strings but I'm having trouble formulating a query that gives me relevant information.
Questions

*

*Does this table below accurately represent an acceptable answer to this question, (Drinking_Habits_Riddle), if the answer is stated with "100% of the people of said village drink some form of alcohol (assuming that the whiskey and gin are both alcoholic)"?

*Or would it strictly require a numeric symbol translation to be acceptable?

*

*If so how would it be derived directly from the graph alone ?

*Or could it be that any correct answer be derivable from the table  itself but it still needed to be in a numeric format ?

Perhaps I could have said something along the lines of "As is evident by this graph which holds strictly to the correct ratios of  Tea:Coffee:Whiskey:Gin that there are no gaps where any percent of people drink no alcohol in this village and no percent of people drink all four beverages. Therefore 100% of the population drinks some form of alcohol." But even if the previous is True I guess that's more a logic answer.. but would that also be unacceptable/irrelevant?

In a small village 90% of the people drink Tea, 80% Coffee, 70% Whiskey and 60% Gin. Nobody drinks all four beverages. What percentage of people of this village drinks alcohol?

Table:
     T C W G
 1   + + + -
 2   + + + -
 3   + + + -
 4   + + + -
 5   + + - +
 6   + + - +
 7   + + - +
 8   + - + +
 9   + - + +
10   - + + +

 where T == Tea
       C == Coffee
       W == Whiskey
       G == Gin

Extra if helpful
I was excited when I saw this question on stackoverflow as I'm better at understanding patterns and ratios then using symbolic notation manipulation. The table was part of my first answer on math.SE, but got several down-votes. I had added that "it seems any multiples of 10 are true as well" but didn't give proof of said statement. I admit perhaps my choice of words in several places seem to suggest I wasn't being purely mathematical, id est, that it could have seen to have been just a guess. I was told to delete it for it wasn't mathematics. I've since deleted the post after understanding that I didn't show proof of the 'multiples' but I never got an answer from anyone who was against my answer if the (table and accompanying statement) themselves, by themselves, was unacceptable. In either event if I happen to answer anymore questions I'll be sure to only state things I can prove to be true.
For a formal education setting I only have a GED so I apologize if this isn't my place. I have a rough time at judging delimitations of acceptance, and in choosing tone of formal:casual:readable.
Lastly, if this isn't the site for this sort of question please let me know. Maybe it could belong on meta.SE, Quora, or other? As this site is for mathematics I assumed asking here would be acceptable.

In advance thank you for any input

A: Your table can be part of an answer -- namely, it shows that it is possible for everyone to be alcohol drinkers, given the provided information.
However, for a full answer you would also need some kind of argument that this is the only possible situation. (In some situations you might get away with claiming that whoever asked the question wouldn't have asked it that way unless they knew there was a unique result, so you don't need to be sure that is the case. But this is not usually considered satisfactory as a mathematical treatment of the question).
What you need for this other part is not -- as you seem to assume -- more numbers and symbols, but actual words that explain how the reader would convince themselves there is not any solution with less than 100% alcohol drinkers.
(Some people somehow get the idea that the fewer actual English words they use in their writing, the more impeccably mathematical will it be. They then leave out all of the explanations and produce just an impenetrable mess of formulas. This is exactly wrong).

A: I commend you on asking this question. Let me say that it is always hard to explain why some purported writing/solution is wrong mathematics, because essentially the core reason is simply that mathematics is about purely logical reasoning that starts from accepted assumptions. Unlike science, to claim that a mathematical theorem is true, one needs to provide a proof (or at least a proof sketch with enough detail so that experts can be fully convinced that the formal proof can be constructed). There is no room for intuition in a proof. But I will try to give a specific and complete explanation for this particular example that you have brought up.

Firstly, playing around with examples, diagrams, tables and so on is a good thing. It helps one to get a feel for what the problem is like, observe patterns, come up with conjectures and so on. However, always remember that every single illustration of any sort remains a single instance.
If the claim is that some mathematical object has certain properties, and you can give an illustration that provides complete information about one such object, and the viewer can deterministically check that the object you have illustrated indeed has the claimed properties, then your illustration can be considered to be sufficient to establish the result. For example, if I claim that there is a planar graph where every vertex has exactly $5$ neighbours, it suffices to describe just one such graph, and it is acceptable and convenient to do so by drawing it (such as this diagram).
If, however, the claim has a universal quantifier in it, namely that it says something about a whole collection of mathematical objects, then a single illustration can never function as a proof per se. Just for example, if I claim that every planar graph has at least one vertex with less than 6 neighbours, then no matter how many illustrations I give, it does not constitute anything close to a proof. It is possible that by judicious or ingenious diagrams one can convey to another mathematician some key ideas that underlie a proper proof, but that is different from providing a proof.
I want to emphasize what I just said. The four-colour theorem is notorious for attracting fake proofs as well as incorrect proofs. Two well-known incorrect proofs (one by Kempe and another by Tait) were both based on diagrams and intuition, and each was thought by the mathematical community to be correct for a decade. See this article for a detailed explanation of these incorrect proofs, which I just found via Google.
In your case, the problem is to show that every collection of people whose drinking habits satisfy the given constraints must all drink whisky or gin. You did not at all show that; the table can only show that one collection of people whose drinking habits satisfy the given constraints do indeed all drink whisky or gin. At the most, the table can only represent certain kinds of collections of people whose drinking habits satisfy the given constraints. The table does not (and cannot) show that the illustrated kind of collection covers all the possible kinds that satisfy the given constraints.
This logical gap is not fixable, because you would have to show (roughly speaking) that no other kind of row can occur in the table, which is literally the same as showing that every person drinks $3$ of the drinks. And to prove that, the easiest ways are still one of the other posted methods, which means that the table becomes useless for the purpose of the final proof.

Secondly, your attempted explanation:

As is evident by this graph which holds strictly to the correct ratios of Tea:Coffee:Whiskey:Gin that there are no gaps where any percent of people drink no alcohol in this village and no percent of people drink all four beverages. Therefore 100% of the population drinks some form of alcohol.

is wrong for the reason given above. It is only evident that the kind of collection of people that is illustrated by your table all drink whiskey or gin. It is not evident that there are no other kinds.

The object of the game is to fit the 3 "ground" puzzle pieces on the game board, so that each species has it's own home, separated from the other species. On top of that, each hole needs to have its own entrance/exit. The challenge shows you the position of the animals. There is 1 fox, 1 badger and 4 different rabbits. Some challenges show only rabbits, some show different animals. You can put the animals you don't need for a challenge aside. In Down the Rabbit Hole, the 3 "ground" puzzle pieces divide the game board in different sections, but they also cover part of the game board. So the hardest part of this puzzle is not to separate the animals, but to find a place for each puzzle piece. Because in each challenge these 3 puzzle pieces must be placed.Hint: you are allowed to create empty spaces on the game board (without any animals inside).

China and the Future of the World
26/8/16 - VISION
Donald Winchester
At the turn of the millennium, many proclaimed that this would be the Chinese Century. Do current world events support that prediction? It's a question that defies an easy answer.
Nineteen eighty-nine was, in Western eyes, a year of great hope. The Berlin Wall fell, the power of the Soviet Union was rapidly disintegrating, and free democratic elections were held in Brazil and Chile for the first time in years.
Amidst all this, the Tiananmen Square protest in Beijing—where thousands of young Chinese demonstrated against their communist government under the inanimate gaze of a hastily sculpted "Goddess of Democracy"—seemed to be part of the same movement. The protest was forcibly and brutally suppressed; but to many it seemed clear that this was the beginning of the spread of Western democratic values to China too.
Political scientist Francis Fukuyama was of this opinion. In his notorious 1989 essay "The End of History?" he wrote that "the triumph of the West, of the Western idea, is evident first of all in the total exhaustion of viable systematic alternatives to Western liberalism." He went on to say of Chinese students, "It is hard to believe that . . . they will be content for China to be the only country in Asia unaffected by the larger democratizing trend."
Fukuyama envisioned that China (along with the rest of the world) would progressively follow in the West's democratic shadow. China had other ideas, though. As the editors of Mao's Invisible Hand state, "China has not taken the road anticipated by Western social scientists and desired by Western publics." Graduate student Liu Yang explains that the local view is rather different. "Without democracy," he says, "if we can still have the good life, why should we choose democracy?" (quoted in Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China). His nation is taking a different route and is thriving on it. China's economy is the world's second-largest and is currently growing more than twice as quickly as those of the United States, Germany and Japan. And it is doing so without democracy. Explaining this requires something other than Fukuyama's model, one that is much more complex and unsettling for Western observers.
"China is, quite literally, changing the world before our very eyes, taking it into completely uncharted territory," academic Martin Jacques observes inWhen China Rules the World. "The West has thought itself to be universal, the unquestioned model and example for all to follow; in the future it will be only one of several, even many, possibilities." It's a bold prediction; but as disconcerting as Jacques's words sound to Western ears, it is not at all unfathomable. "Understanding China will be one of the great challenges of the twenty-first century," he writes.
Reaching that understanding requires examining the country on its own terms.
CHINA'S DEEP ROOTS
China is not, to the surprise of Fukuyama and others, interested in merely mimicking Western models. Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Evan Osnos notes that in recent years "China's young elite [have] risen again, not in pursuit of liberal democracy but in defense of China's name." In other words, China's resurgence is not driven by a desire to copy the West. Its people are instead defending and promoting their own cultural identity, one that few in the West understand.
China's identity is steeped in history. Jacques records the words of Chinese scholar Jin Guantao, who "argues that '[China's] only mode of existence is to relive the past. There is no accepted mechanism within the culture for the Chinese to confront the present without falling back on the inspiration and strength of tradition." To the West, which is more inclined to emphasize innovation, youth and the "new," this is a foreign way of thinking. The West is also, on another front, largely unfamiliar with the deep-seated historical personality that underpins China.
Chinese civilization is long-standing and, in native eyes, stands isolated from the turmoil of regime change and dynastic succession. Jacques states that "when the Chinese use the term 'China' they are not usually referring to the country or nation so much as Chinese civilization—its history, the dynasties, Confucius, the ways of thinking, the role of government, the relationships and customs, the guanxi (the network of personal connections), the family, filial piety, ancestral worship, the values, and distinctive philosophy." These are characteristics of thought and action, and as a way of defining a people it is quite different from Western perspectives. Since the third millennium BCE China has been ruled by around 20 (depending on how they're counted) imperial dynasties; in 1912 it became a republic, which lasted until 1949 when the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) took over. And yet the Chinese still speak of their civilization as a continuous one lasting several millennia. This sort of perspective relegates even the suffering endured under Mao Zedong to small print. Indeed, scholar Jae Ho Chung suggests that "the features of a Chinese dynasty may eventually overshadow the features of a Communist regime."
When the Chinese speak of defending their country's name, however, they are most often referring to a more modern historical moment. As recently as the 18th century, though it did not have the same imperial reach as its European counterparts, China was the world's largest economy and Beijing was the world's largest city. Some estimate that at the time the nation accounted for one third of global wealth.
The years that followed, however, shook China at its foundations and have since become known as the bainian guochi or "Century of Humiliation." First they were defeated by Britain in the First Opium War (1839–42), then rocked by four lengthy localized revolts: two Muslim rebellions in Yunnan (1855–73) and in the northwest (1862–73), as well as the Taiping Uprising (1850–64) and the Nian Rebellion (1853–68). There were also military losses to the British and French in the Second Opium War (1856–60), to the French in Indochina (1884–85), and most humiliatingly to their neighbors in two Sino-Japanese Wars (1894–95 and 1937–45). By these—and a series of crippling agreements that became known as the Unequal Treaties—China lost control of Hong Kong, Korea, Indochina and Taiwan, as well as the sovereignty of many of their seaports. The 1900 Boxer Rebellion brought foreign military occupation to Beijing, and in 1931 Japan invaded and occupied large parts of Manchuria. It was a string of setbacks that heralded the end of China's imperial dynasties, eroded their independence and, most crucially, damaged their pride.
The Century of Humiliation is as critical to Chinese identity as the French or American Revolutions or the British Empire are to their respective national identities. For China, the humiliation it suffered is a core impetus, a perceived imbalance, a wrong to be set right. From this perspective, the nation's desire to return to global prominence is not so surprising. In the eyes of many Chinese it signifies a return to their natural place.
A NATION TRANSFORMED
How China recovered so impressively has astounded economists and social scientists the world over. At the time of Mao's death in 1976, the country had been torn apart by his ideological purges, personality cult and failed economic policies. It was a crumbling and backward nation; but what followed catapulted it out of its poverty. Mao's successors, including new leader Deng Xiaoping, surprised the world by building the thing that seemed most antithetical to communist principles: a free-market economy. In contrast to Mao's grand flourishes and broad revolutionary plans, Deng's approach was pragmatic, inclusive and step-by-step. "Cross the river by feeling the stones," he said.
Reform brought immediate results. In the 1980s the country's economic growth doubled and has maintained dizzyingly high levels ever since. The World Bank calls it "the fastest sustained expansion by a major economy in history." Diverging from their more insular past, the Chinese government moved to build careful ties with the international world, notably the United States. They reduced trade tariffs; they welcomed international investment and focused on manufacturing and exporting goods. The ubiquitous "Made in China" clothing tag is an internationally recognized signifier of this. Their habitual caution remains in situ, however; for instance, they have resisted calls to float their currency, the renminbi (or yuan), on the international exchange.
China's transformation is a singular one, "the most extraordinary . . . in human history" according to Jacques. Its population has moved increasingly from predominantly agrarian to urban. The impact of this on its people is staggering: according to an analysis cited by Jacques, the number of Chinese living in poverty fell from 250 million in 1978 to 80 million in 1993 to 29 million in 2001, "thereby accounting for three-quarters of global poverty reduction during this period." But this new society is also an unequal one. Free-market capitalism tends to exacerbate the gap between rich and poor, and China has been one of the most striking examples of this. Corruption levels in this nascent marketplace are among the world's highest too.
More recent figures suggest, perhaps inevitably, that this heady economic growth is slowing. This is to be expected; and yet China is still considered a developing country, with potential that seems impossible to accurately assess. The energy behind its growth is remarkable and has—not coincidentally, perhaps—corresponded with a renewed emphasis on the Century of Humiliation. Under Mao, China whitewashed its defeats; but the new regime has derived inspiration from them. September 18 is now an annual government-sponsored "National Humiliation Day," when young people chant, "Do not forget national humiliation, and realize the Chinese dream!" In textbooks children are taught to remember foreign invasions; Osnos points out that The Practical Dictionary of Patriotic Education contains a 355-page section on the humiliations. What the people think of this is difficult to gauge, for a multitude of reasons. There are undoubtedly a number who are against the government's actions (on a host of issues from Tibet to Facebook), but on the whole it appears that the public broadly supports its direction. Osnos cites a Pew Research poll stating that "almost nine out of ten Chinese approved of the way things were going in their country."
China is communist but has embraced free-market capitalism; it is the world's second-biggest economy but is still a developing nation; it has almost no natural resources but produces more than any other nation; its presence on the world stage feels new, but it is steeped in centuries of tradition. China seems self-contradictory, and yet it is clearly growing into one of the world's most dominant powers.
It is tempting to view China's staggering upsurge in apocalyptic terms. As Jacques writes, "we are so used to the world being Western, even American, that we have little idea what it would be like if it was not." The rise of a rival power is a natural cause of discomfort for the incumbent, of course, and many Westerners speak of China's resurgence with anxiety. Observers of this ilk often search for faults that might eventually destabilize its success. They place hope in local revolts against the CCP's draconian Internet controls as well as in vocal dissidents such as the artist Ai Weiwei. In doing so they sometimes lose sight of the fact that democratic actions in nondemocratic countries do not work in the same way.
They also forget how treacherous human attempts at foretelling the future can be. Just a few years ago Goldman Sachs predicted that China would overtake the United States as the world's largest economy by 2027, but their more recent reports have been much less bullish. China may continue to rise—there are plenty of reasons to believe it will—or it may not. The way China is spoken of today resembles the worries Western observers had about Japan in the 1980s; and Japan's place in the world order has since diminished considerably. There are, of course, many reasons why China is better placed to continue to thrive. Whatever the case, as China scholar Pieter Bottelier remarked to the Goldman Sachs Investment Strategy Group, "anyone who speaks with great certainty [about China] needs their head examined."
Predicting the future has always been a fool's errand for humanity. One need only think of the countless failed predictions of the end of the world, as well as, of course, Francis Fukuyama's secular prophecy of the "end of history." The Bible—a fact that might seem surprising—warns of the futility of making such predictions (see Matthew 24:36, 42; Acts 1:7); it's a point rendered absurdly ironic by the countless Christian leaders who have flouted and continue to flout it.
It is also worth remembering that nations do rise and fall. From ancient Egypt to Babylon to Rome to the Aztecs to the British Empire: human power is never permanent. History teaches us that in time the West will falter, that American hegemony will not last, and that another—perhaps the Chinese?—will take its place. The Bible supports this historical pattern. Its histories recount the repeated transfer of power across the land we now know as the Middle East; its pages also prophesy future shifts. Here we see the difference in accuracy between the predictions of limited humanity and the unlimited God. One of the latter's prophecies, a vision given to Daniel, foretold—centuries in advance—the rise and fall of Babylon, Persia, Greece and Rome, as well as of a future as-yet-unidentified power (see Daniel 2).Change and turmoil are hallmarks of human civilization. In this light China's rapid rise is not so surprising, though it remains unclear what it will mean for the world. Fukuyama's 1989 proclamation that humanity had "exhausted" all alternatives to Western liberalism has proved ill-founded, but it's worth noting how curiously biblical Fukuyama's words are in tone. Indeed, the Bible makes a similar statement that this world of recurring disruption will come to an end at a moment when all alternatives to God's rule (not Western liberalism) have been exhausted. The end of the prophecy given to Daniel says that following the end of human kingdoms, "the God of heaven [shall] set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever" (Daniel 2:44, King James Version).Only when that prophecy comes to fulfillment will we know for sure whether the 21st was the Chinese Century.

Cook Street Village is no longer the street's most lucrative locale. Scheduled to complete Fall 2018 from the team at Abstract Developments, is a new concept in modern living: Black & White, an instant classic with a contemporary, gravity-defying design at the crosshairs of Cook and Upper Fort.
With thoughtful layouts and state-of-the-art interiors, Black & White's 75 suites are as impressive as its staggered, black-and-white brick façade. Beginning at 504-square-feet and $279,900, the suites include junior, one- and two-bedrooms, and nine premium penthouses. All suites feature chef-worthy kitchens with quartz countertops and high-end appliances. Spa-inspired bathrooms are finished with rain-spout alcove showers and ensuite in-floor radiant heating, while sleeping and living havens contrast light and dark for harmony and balance.
With its luxury approach to everyday living, Abstract is offering a taste of the finer things in life with Black & White Concierge – personalized services ranging from personal assistants to an on-call sommelier and chef. "We wanted to offer our buyers the services they're looking for and create partnerships with the local service providers we've worked with in the past," says Mike Miller, president of Abstract Developments.
Amenities are no less impressive with a two-story outdoor space, carved into the southwest corner of Black & White and overlooking the tree-lined streetscape, featuring a fire pit and barbeque for late summer nights with friends or brisk fall afternoons with a book. With low-profile adjacent buildings, the space is exposed to ample sunlight and fresh air.
Black & White's mixed-use street level provides endless opportunities for local businesses with 9,000-square-feet of two-story space, while its Upper Fort location boasts a Walk Score® of 96, just steps from the neighborhood's hottest yoga studios and gyms, up-and-coming restaurants and most-loved cafés. "We think the location is unique," Miller says, "because the neighborhood feels so local, but is so close to downtown." Prefer to drive? Borrow Black & White's electric car, or park yours in its artfully finished 83-stall parkade – as with all Abstract developments, no detail goes overlooked.

LPGA LEGEND AND EIGHT-TIME "PLAYER OF THE YEAR" ANNIKA SORENSTAM RETURNS TO HEADLINE ALLIANZ CHAMPIONSHIP WOMEN'S EXECUTIVE PRO-AM POWER BREAKFAST, GOLF CLINIC, AND PLAY
BOCA RATON, FL (November 26, 2012) — Getting the ladies into "the swing" of championship golf and better business, LPGA legend with 72 LPGA victories and eight-time "player of the year" Annika Sorenstam (www.annikasorenstam.com) will give tips on women's business empowerment and golf at the tee-off of the third annual Allianz Championship Women's Executive Pro-Am on Tuesday, February 5th at the Old Course at Broken Sound Club at 10:30 a.m. The women's executive "starter" power breakfast for golfers and non-golfers (with corporate tables) and the Pro-Am tournament for 36 executive women (nine foursomes) is part of the 2013 Allianz Championship, a celebrated week-long PGA Champions Tour event, the first full-field event of the season, bringing the legendary champions of golf to Boca Raton to vie for a $1.8 million purse.
"Chipping in" net proceeds to benefit Boca Raton Regional Hospital, the Women's Executive Breakfast and Pro-Am offers women the opportunity to participate in "a golf and business networking experience like no other" while giving all skill sets a chance to play nine holes with a PGA Champions Tour player. The fun-filled day includes a continental breakfast with an "up close and personal" Q&A session with Sorenstam followed by a private group clinic presented by JM Lexus followed by a shotgun start with golf pros. Registration is $750 per player, and includes Pro-Am gift package, two invites to VIP Draw Party where awards will be presented by Tiffany & Co. for the women's back nine play, and two VIP Partners Club Tickets during the Allianz Championship tournament rounds.
"We are delighted to have Annika return this year at our popular Women's Executive Pro-Am as she is one of the most dominant players in women's golf, and her advice on achieving success in both business and golf was a huge hit with last year's participants," noted Allianz Championship Tournament Director Ryan Dillon. "In addition to a great 'ladies day' on the course, participants will enjoy a rare opportunity to learn from and get to know one of LPGA's storied champions who has rewritten the LPGA and Ladies European Tour record books, won countless awards and events, and brought unprecedented attention to women's golf."
He added that Sorenstam was recently selected as the Vice Captain for the 2013 Solheim Cup, the biennial, trans-Atlantic team match-play competition pitting the best U.S.-born players from the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour against the best European members from the Ladies European Tour (LET), commonly known as "the most exciting tournament in Women's golf" and Sorenstam's personal favorite.
Sorenstam's success has changed how women's golf is played, covered and viewed, and in her rise to mainstream athlete and celebrity, she has had a positive impact on all women's sports. She was born in Stockholm, Sweden on October 9, 1970 and began playing golf at the age of 12; her sister Charlotte also plays on the LPGA Tour.
Dillon said he expects with Sorenstam again being part of the tournament's experience this year and only 36 openings available, this year's Women's Executive Pro-Am will sell out quickly and encourages those interested to register early. To purchase foursomes and individual tickets by January 6th, contact Anthony Greco at agreco@allianzchampionship.com or 561-241-GOLF (4653).
The week-long seventh annual Allianz Championship schedule of events includes three days of championship play from Friday through Sunday, Feb. 8-10, 2013 plus the third annual Women's Executive Pro-Am on Tuesday, Feb. 5th with an Executive Pro-Am Pairings Party that evening; two days of Executive Pro-Am play on Wednesday and Thursday, Feb. 6th and 7th; a fourth annual Golf & Wine Experience as well as the popular Family Day activities held during the second day of championship play, Saturday, Feb. 9thand more.
The Allianz Championship, as well as its Women's Executive Pro-Am will be held on The Old Course at Broken Sound Club, located at 1401 NW 51st Street, (Yamato Road), Boca Raton, FL 33431.

IFAD Philippines Gender Network (IPGN) conducted its sixth general assembly to discuss gender movements of IFAD-funded programmes in the Philippines and to share processes practiced by the different development programmes for gender sensitivity trainings provided to its beneficiaries.
The annual IPGN general assembly is hosted by one of the implementing agencies funded by IFAD. For the year 2015, the Integrated Natural Resources and Environmental Management Project (INREMP) implemented by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) were chosen to host the event last 27-30 April in Camiguin Island, Philippines.
With a theme, "Strategic Woman Transformation Through Project Innovative Information and Education", the platform was used to review each programme's gender-related experiences, share good practices and identify major operational constraints from the implementation of the country programme. The participants also agreed on concrete actions to improve mainstreaming gender in the performance of individual programmes.
As an output of the assembly, the group spelled out the following key action points for the network: a) to identify and harmonize common gender-based indicators and tools for use of IFAD-assisted projects which are aligned to the government and organizations for gender mainstreaming; b) publish knowledge products on gender mainstreaming work of IFAD Philippine partners and projects; c) documentation of the IPGN story; and d) planning for 7th IPGN General Assembly to be hosted by Project CONVERGE, a value chain development programme to be implemented by the Philippine Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR).
The 6th IPGN assembly was participated by agencies from Philippine Commission on Women (PCW), IFAD Philippines, research grant programmes on Consortium for Unfavorable Rice Environments (IRRI-CURE), Food Security Through Asian Roots and Tubers (CIP-FoodSTART) and Climate-smart, Tree-based, Co-investment in Adaptation and Mitigation in Asia (ICRAF-Smart Tree-Invest), Second Cordillera Highland Agricultural Resource Management Programme (DA-CHARMP2), Rapid Food Production Enhancement Programme (DA-RaFPEP), Irrigated Rice Production Enhancement Programme (DA-IRPEP), PAKISAMA: National Confederation of Small Farmers and Fishers Organizations, Convergence on Value Chain Enhancement for Rural Growth and Empowerment Project (DAR-CONVERGE) and DENR-INREMP.
It is my pleasure to send a message from IFAD headquarters to all of you gathered in Camiguin (Philippines) for the Sixth IFAD Philippines Gender Network Assembly – gender focal points from IFAD supported projects in the Philippines, representatives from implementing agencies and partner organizations.
Last year, I had the privilege to meet with some of you at the workshop of the Multilateral Development Banks on "Gender, voice and agency", hosted by the Asian Development Bank in Manila. It was a great opportunity to exchange first-hand experiences and hear more about the work in your projects, the success stories and the challenges that you are facing.
The IFAD Philippines Gender Network is unique. It is the only gender network that we know of at country level, and has been thriving for several years. You are a true self-help network, you took things into your own hands and provide peer support to one another. In this, you are an inspiration to many. IFAD's gender architecture includes the gender focal points at project level and we encourage sharing and learning at country, regional and global level. You are the pioneers, you have set up a platform for exchange of knowledge, learning and communication that reinforces the efforts made to reduce rural poverty, achieve gender equality and empower rural women.
Wherever we go, we praise your efforts and try to stimulate others to also set up a gender network at country level. Last week, I conducted a gender and targeting training for the gender focal points in Nigeria and presented your initiative. Now we might soon have another country gender network! Perhaps we will soon call on you to assist others in setting up their country networks, in an innovative south-south exchange.
The theme of your sixth assembly "Strategic Woman Transformation through Project Innovative Information and Education" is well chosen and provides a link to the global gender and development agenda. In 2015, we are looking back at the Fourth World Conference on Women, the progress achieved over the last 20 years, and the challenges that are still before us. Our eyes are also on the framework for a new global development agenda which will be adopted later this year at the United Nations. For IFAD, the focus is on rural transformation as a key element of sustainable development. It is reached when the livelihoods of smallholder family farmers and poor rural men and women improve, and when communities are lifted out of poverty –in a sustainable manner. We believe this can be achieved by fostering economic empowerment, by giving women a voice in decision-making, and by reducing women's workloads. To have a transformative impact and go beyond addressing the symptoms of gender equality, our interventions need to be accompanied by actions that tackle the underlying social norms, behaviours and social systems in order to produce far-reaching and sustainable changes. This may sound like a big call, but every effort counts and I encourage you to always see the bigger picture.
Let me close by wishing you a successful assembly, fruitful discussions and success in finding answers to some of your challenges. Your assembly will certainly include lots of songs, fun and laughter, which helps to overcome any hurdles, and I know that you are masters in that field in the Philippines Using both sides of the brain always helps, because we carry the solutions to many problems already in us, we only need to open our eyes and hearts. In this sense, all the best for your deliberations!


I have learned many things in my life but who would have thought on that dreadful day in May 2014 when Seth and I were thrust unceremoniously into a world of palliative and end of life care, that the biggest lessons in my relatively short life would be learned over the following month.
When Seth died I knew that the worst thing that could ever happen to me had happened; I knew that nothing in the future could hurt so much, nothing would or could ever break my heart again. I knew it was forever broken and unrepairable. I also had this deep sense of knowing; a consciousness that I had never experienced before, an expansive feeling that something so momentous had happened and that it would shape my life forever.
When Seth received his diagnosis, he was alone, there was no one he knew there to support him, to comfort him, to love him. I had left at 4pm at the end of afternoon visiting to go home, to collect some things, have something to eat and get back for evening visiting at 6pm. When I arrived and walked into the room, I just sensed that there was something very very wrong. Seth calmly told me that the consultant had been to see him and had told Seth that he suspected pancreatic cancer. That although he thought the cancer was advanced and had probably spread to other organs; he could not confirm this diagnosis 100%. More tests were needed; he told Seth that time was very short that his prognosis was probably day's maybe weeks to live…….
The consultant was right it was only days and weeks; so few in fact that it barely made the month.
At first Seth was determined to have palliative chemotherapy; it offered him the hope of an extra eight weeks, if it all worked as expected. However, pancreatic cancer had other well thought out plans and Seth became, so poorly, so weak, so quickly that chemo was not an option.
In the days that slipped by, as time began to run out, I saw Seth let go of the things that had been so important to him, his interest waned, he let go of the future, of his future, of our future. It was no longer important only the present moment was important.
He withdrew slightly each day, but then from nowhere "my Seth" would reappear for just a few seconds with a smile, a joke, singing an out of tune song and always telling me how much he loved me. But then the jokes, the songs, the smiles disappeared and it seemed like his love faded too….. they all faded into stillness. This was the time that I knew what used to be important was no longer important and that my role now was to guide my adorable and beloved Seth out of this physical world. However, Seth and I both knew that his letting go was a loving and generous gift, given to me in the knowledge that he was selflessly preparing me for life without him.
As death approached over the coming hours, I saw Seth surrender to the physical decay that came with this dreadful disease and he surrendered spiritually too. I saw him give up the past, his past, our past, as well as the future. I knew this was the time, the present, the last few moments when Seth needed me the most and I had to help him make the transition. It was no longer about me and about what Seth meant to me, no now was the time that I would find the strength to be his trustworthy guide into a different place; a different consciousness.
Seth surrendered to the mystery of death on 14th June 2014 and I guided him through that last heart breaking journey.
As you will know I describe Homeward Bound as Seth's compassionate legacy because it is. Death and dying are meant to evoke compassion and they did; but the most compassionate person throughout our journey to the mystery of death, was Seth. He saw my suffering and he did all that he could to relieve it. These selfless acts of love and compassion combined with a deep connection to a different consciousness have taught me so much about life and what's important.
So today whilst I am so sad that's it's the fourth anniversary of Seth's death I am also so happy that Seth's death taught me so much about life. It was an expansive experience and Seth I will love you with all of my heart forever.

Q: chrome.identity.launchWebAuthFlow callback returns an undefined redirect_url I'm dealing with a very gnarly Chrome extension auth problem ("Authorization page could not be loaded."). For context, the version of my plugin that was released to the Chrome store is not having these auth problems, it's only my local copy that is running into this issue.
I set up my back-end app to do FB OAuth2. I correctly handle FB sign-in, and redirect to "https://.chromiumapp.org/#authentication_token=#{auth_token}&email=#{email}". This is when the bug occurs. In my production extension, I extract the auth token from the redirect_url (standard) and embed it into the extension. In my development extension (which has identical code), the callback has an undefined redirect_url (the first argument in the callback function). Below is the logic:
chrome.identity.launchWebAuthFlow(
  {'url': requestUrl, 'interactive': true},
  function(redirect_url) {
    if (redirect_url) {
      var queryString = redirect_url.split(/[\#\&]/);
      if (queryString.length > 1) {
        window.tokens = queryString.slice(1).map(function(token){
          return token.split('=')[1];
        });
    }
    var authToken = tokens[0];
    var email = tokens[1];
    if (authToken) {
      ...

    } else {
      ...
    }
  }
);

In the above code, redirect_url is returning as undefined. What could be causing this to be undefined? There MUST be some redirect_url present, or the callback wouldn't even run. What's going on here?

Q: Clear all the fields in infopath on click of a button I have an infopath 2010 form with around 100 controls and i have a requirement to clear all the fields on click of reset button. I have the following options:

*

*Clear all the fields on by one (Very Tedious process)

*Close the forms and open a new form

I am not allowed to write code. Any help in implementing option 2 above is appreciated.
Note: I will be deploying these forms as browser enabled forms to a sharepoint form library.

A: If you use a Filler form, you can try the "Blankem" technique outlined in this post on Infopathdev.com. It involves editing the source files and won't work in a browser form.
http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/t/23486.aspx
There is a sample file attached to Patrick Halstead's first post after the question.
A video with a walk-through is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rtXm5oOEhI&feature=plcp
The rule that is used cannot be applied to a browser form, since the Blankem technique involves using a Set Value destination XPath that is not a simple node path, and not something that the InfoPath designer would let you select.  While InfoPath filler will allow you to still use the form under these conditions, SharePoint will not allow it. (source: comment from Jimmy Rishe at another thread at Infopathdev.com)
If you are using a browser form, you will need to clear the fields with individual actions in a rule.

A: try to copy full shema to string (while it is clear) and then in button event replace shema

A university lecturer is combining his love of Motown music with his enthusiasm for research and sharing his findings with others.
Dr Barry Doyle, assistant dean of research at the University of Teesside, can normally be found giving lectures on local history.
But occasionally he leaves the books behind to delve into the sound of Sixties Motown.
A recent lecture at the university attracted interest from Motown enthusiasts and academics alike.
Dr Doyle said: "I have been interested in Motown since I was a teenager and I started studying it ten years ago and I have published a piece on Northern soul.
"I wanted to do something mainstream on soul music consumption in Britain in the 1960s and Seventies and Motown was successful in the late Sixties.
"It was nice to see a different range of people there - they ranged from enthusiasts to people who were academically interested.
"It makes a change from doing things like local history."

'Disturbing and unfair': Les Miles' attorney, after Kansas coach placed on administrative leave
Updated: Mar 7, 2021 / 12:41 AM CST
NEW YORK (WDAF) — A day after the University of Kansas placed head football coach Les Miles on administrative leave, Peter Ginsberg, Miles' attorney, is calling the action "disturbing and unfair."
In a statement, Ginsberg said that LSU, Miles' former school, had conducted a an "extensive and thorough" investigation into the allegations eight years ago, conducted by the Taylor Porter law firm, and concluded that Miles did not engage in any sexual harassment conduct.
Report: KU places Les Miles on administrative leave
Former LSU Athletic Director wanted to fire Les Miles …
Report: Les Miles was banned from contacting female …
Ginsberg went on to say that the NCAA's newest report conducted by Husch Blackwell has nothing to do with Miles and that the firm did not interview the Kansas head coach or any other witnesses and only second-guessed the previous report.
He said that Kansas' decision to place Miles on administrative leave is unfair and that the school had performed their due diligence before his hiring.
FULL STATEMENT
The events of the past twenty-four hours are deeply disturbing. Eight years ago,
LSU hired Taylor Porter, a preeminent law firm, to conduct an extensive and
thorough investigation of allegations lodged at Les Miles. Under the guidance of
one of the nation's leaders in the area of gender discrimination and harassment,
Taylor Porter concluded that Coach Miles did not engage in any conduct that
constituted sexual harassment and that there were no grounds to discipline Coach
Miles.
Now, eight years later, LSU, in the wake of enormous pressure from the NCAA for
conduct that has nothing to do with Coach Miles, issued a report conducted by
Husch Blackwell. The report revealed no new evidence. Indeed, Husch Blackwell
did not even bother to interview Coach Miles or many other key witnesses but,
instead, second-guessed the Taylor Porter findings and conclusions without
providing any basis for doing so.
Bending to the winds of media blowback, Kansas has now decided to put Coach
Miles on administrative leave. Before the release of the reports this week, Kansas
had been provided with significant information supporting Taylor Porter's
conclusions. KU also had performed thorough due diligence before hiring Coach
Miles. Kansas' decision to put Les Miles on administrative leave is both disturbing
and unfair. To fail to recognize that a person's career should not be compromised
by unsubstantiated allegations hardly is consistent with the example an institution of
higher learning should champion.

Hurricanes humbled as Jaguares cause big upset
NRL as it happened: New Zealand Warriors v Penrith Panthers

All the action as the Warriors took on the Panthers in the NRL.
Having failed to fire early in the season, the Penrith Panthers are looking for answers. But while they flounder near the foot of the ladder without a win in their last five games, Stacey Jones isn't counting out a resurgence starting this week against the Warriors.
The Warriors assistant coach said the side was wary of what the Panthers were capable of, particularly on home soil, despite the side only scoring an average of 13 points per game so far this year.
"We've got plenty of people who have been around this game for a long time who know when teams are under pressure they come out and perform," Jones said. "We're a team that needs to perform, we need to be consistent, and so we can't focus too much on them."
The foot of the mountains hasn't historically been a happy hunting ground for the Warriors, who haven't won at Panthers Stadium since a 30-16 victory in 2012. In their last five matches at the ground they've been outscored 180-54, with their scoring kept in single figures three times.
The Warriors have had their own struggles through the early part of the season, with their three wins just one more than the Panthers. They are, however, looking to string back to back wins together and have taken a light approach to preparation.
Jones said hooker Nathaniel Roache, forward Tohu Harris and utility Jazz Tevaga were all tracking well from their respective injuries and after Thursday's captain's run he was confident all three would be ready to go on Friday.
"Obviously our [final] squad hasn't been confirmed yet but we're hopeful they'll be alright to go," Jones said. "It's a funny business this game; it was only a few weeks ago where we thought we'd have a 17 go out then someone gets injured in captain's run.
"All the bodies that are named are okay so hopefully that's the team that goes out on the field."
Against the Panthers, the battle of the halves will be an anticipated one as Blake Green and Kodi Nikorima square off against Nathan Cleary and James Maloney who led New South Wales to the State of Origin title last year.

Nikorima settled in nicely in his Warriors debut last weekend, and Jones said his addition from the Broncos could only benefit the Warriors.
"With Kodi coming on board it adds more depth to the squad and it's good to have that competition and everyone feeling that pressure where they do have to play consistently.
"It was pretty short and quick him coming over here. The plays we run are very similar to what every other team runs, we just have a different spin on it or different names so it's just him getting comfortable with that and once he finds his feet some more here we can spend more time and develop better relationships."

Philippines could get US$26m from e-sabong tax
Philippines could get US$26m from e-sabong tax (SABONGARENAS)
Genre Sabong Arena
Keywords Philippines Online Sabong
Similar Articles Online Sabong International Log-In
The bill to tax 5 per cent of revenues on e-sabong transmissions from legal cockpits has been passed to the Philippines Senate. The Philippines.- The House of Representatives in the Philippines has approved a bill that proposes to tax online betting on sabong events held in legal cockpits and transmitted through streaming systems. House Bill 8065, which was introduced by Joey Sarte Salceda, places a 5 per cent tax on revenues from an ongoing legal activity that had not yet been taxed in the Philippines. It comes at a time when the government is seeking to boost gaming tax collection, which has plunged due to Covid-19 restrictions. The bill passed its third reading at the House of Representatives on Tuesday with 215 votes in favour and one against and was sent to the Senate for deliberation. At the hearing, Sarte Salceda said the tax could raise at least Php1.25bn (almost US$26m) in its first full year. He believes the bill, which would amend the National Internal Revenue Code of 1997, could help clarify some of the grey areas regarding taxes on online activities and help raise gaming tax income, which stood at Php13.7bn in 2019, according to the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) If approved, the measure would exclude PAGCOR activities as well as those run by the Philippine Charity and Sweepstakes Office (PCSO). It would also allow the BIR to inspect and accredit the devices used to record wagers. The proposal would also empower the Games and Amusements Board (GAB) to regulate the fair conduct of offsite betting on locally licensed cockfights and derbies, including the devices used by gaming operators. Gaming operators will have to disclose offsite betting activities on licenced games to the BIR and other regulatory agencies.
