Yes, Bel. Looking forward. After nearly 14 years.

You're now using Tapatalk. You can now directly share any photo on your phone via Tapatalk.

Hello Bel,

I can feel your sentiment. The only reason I maintain an account on FB is that it is required by the company where I work now. Yes, I agree. Reading all those self-glorification posts on FB is subjecting ourselves to torture.

Bisan modern na ta, naa pa gihapon manawagan sa radio station ning panahona karon. Naay mga remote areas nga  walay cellsite. AM stations gihapon ang dangpanan sa communication.

Hi Mike!

Si Maricel gi daman! Naka labay sha sa pajag mao nga naka hunahuna ko akong panawagon ang mga silingan para mag alirong na sad diri.

Mga balikbayans sa Tubag Bohol, Bel

Hello Happy,

Welcome back. After 13 years. Kumusta na?

Press Release
PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF BOHOL GIVES INCENTIVES TO EMPLOYEES.

Bohol Governor Art Yap and Vice-Governor Rene Relampagos went office to office in the Capitol to hand over the rice and Collective Negotiation Agreement (CNA) bonus to employees.

In October, the Provincial Government led by Yap and Relampagos signed the renewal of the CNA  with the Bohol Provincial Employees League (BOPEL) which ensures continued provision of employee incentives.

Since the incentive is given just in time for the holiday season, Gov. Art couldn't imagine the fact that employees might not enjoy the incentive this year. This prompted him to talk to the Vice-Governor and endorse to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan the renewal of the agreement so that every qualified employee in the province continues to receive the P25,000 bonus.

Aside from that, Governor Yap gave 8 kilos rice to every employee, the same way that he gave to every Bol-anon household, as he wants the employees to enjoy what the rest of the Bol-anons have enjoyed.

This is another unprecedented move from a governor, a first just as his administration was first to massively provide interventions such as development funds for all barangays and for all municipalities.

"Charity begins at home", Yap said.

Further, the governor announced more "first times" as he informed the employees the approval of the health card which allows them additional health benefits worth P75,000 per year.

It can be used by every employee, their spouse, spouse or child/children for hospitalization or even outpatient treatment.

Yap also announced the first phase of the housing project of the provincial government located in Cortes which will benefit 300 capitol employees with each lot at 300 square meters.

"I only ask you one thing in return. And that is to improve our service to our fellow Boholanos", Yap said as he urged the employees to give more dedication to their work.

A Mall soon to rise in Cotabato City

Facts:

1) The proposed mall's preconstruction preparation site is an area that largely sits on a swampy wetland inundated by the Lawasa Maguindanao (Maguindanao Creek) which drains from an inner rainwater catch basin at the core of the Tantawan or the Pedro Colina Hill.
   
2) The Creek has a historical Value. It is an essential part of an Amity Treaty between Maguindanao Sultan Qudratullah Untong and Governor-General Narciso Claveria who was in Mindanao in 1845;

3) The creek is part of an entire system of a geological formation evolving in ages which when altered technically may pose peril of flashfloods upon the neighborhood;

4) It is highly recommended that the team of experts involved in that construction project be backed up by river and flood control engineers, so as to more appropriately address that kind of a challenge in the modern-day development endeavors.

Overlooking the area, a volume of water looks stagnant and its mass being pushed by an ongoing earth-filling against the back firewall of an adjacent hospital.

The construction managers should not be treating that as a mere wetland that when earth-filled and elevated would dry up permanently. They should not be treating that as a mere drainage.

In fact, both bank-sides of that kind of a waterway in big cities are rip-rapped all throughout.

In all huge vertical construction projects that we see, concerns on drainage occupy a big part of the site preparation works. We don't see that kind of preparation in this case.       

Lawas a Maguindanao is an underground river as it drains water cascading from the hilltop by an elevated catch-basin to the hill's underground—thence onto Kakar Creek and Matampay River to the southeast, and to Manday River toward northwest (via the Spring).  Remember a drowning incident in Thailand three years ago? That inner body of water they call a cave lake where the young adventurists drowned is actually a catch basin--similar to what is inside the Bagua Cave and the Labuana Samal in the Kabalukan Hills in Rajah Buayan, Maguindanao.

These Kutawato Waterways are also mentioned in the treatises of Dr. Najeeb Saleeby, the Syrian physician commissioned by the American Colonial Administration to document on the Moro Law, History and Religion in 1901.

A similar example of such geological phenomenon is the Bakat Creek (Locally, Lawas a Bakat) which also drains water from the Kabalukan hilltop via an elevated cave catch basin called Labuana Samal in Barangay Masulot, Rajah Buayan, Maguindanao.

If they disregard the historical value of the creek, then they should consider the geological facts and how a huge volume of water inundates like marsh that part of Dapdap down areas bounded by the Bormaheco drive towards the southeast.

The NDC Campus may also become unsafe to such a probability in natural phenomena. Who would have thought that Venice (a premier city of a First World Country) would be under water because some structural engineering plans have overlooked geological facts (CTTO). See the second photo. We learn our lessons hard from past floods.

Postscript: A Trivia. PC Hill is Pedro Colina, meaning the Hill of Pedro (nicknamed "rock in the New Testament). It was not known as to who the "Pedro" is being referred to in this landmark name. But Spain being Catholic, some oral historians suspect that it refers to the Disciple Peter as mentioned in a biblical passage, thus: "Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means 'rock'), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it." (Matthew 16:18). In that sense, Pedro Colina (hill in Spanish) means "Rock Hill."

Let's be rational when doing testing.

What is the risk of COVID-19 for someone who goes out everyday and interacts with people for work and business? It depends on the ongoing community transmission rate. It's an imperfect measure, but the positivity rate of a test in a locality can give an idea of the pretest probability of infection.

For a doctor in an ER in NCR who sees patients daily, the pretest probability is about 3 to 5%, less the mitigating effect of PPE. Still reasonable to test periodically. Same for a factory worker (if they don't stay in a factory bubble), jeepney driver, or security guard in NCR. Having symptoms increases the yield, being asymptomatic decreases it.

But for a person in Batanes who didn't travel anywhere or come in contact with anyone from outside the island and doesn't have any symptoms, the pretest probability is near ZERO. If you decide to test that person because of "mass testing," chances are its going to be negative nearly 100% of the time. There is also a tiny chance it returns a false POSITIVE and that will just make everyone panic.

Same for a person who lives in Manila but has not gone out in the last nine months and meticulously follows no contact deliveries and does not allow visitors. Near zero pretest probability, and there is a risk of a false positive if you insist on "mass testing" just because it's catchy.

So doing "mass testing" without considering pretest probability is a brain dead exercise and may actually be harmful because it may yield some false positives. People with exposure OR symptoms - go ahead and test. People with NO RISK, DO NOT TEST. Waste of resources and risk of false positive. I hope this helps explain why we sometimes do not recommend testing. It isn't for everyone. Stay safe.

The FreeType Project LICENSE

2006-Jan-27

Copyright 1996-2002, 2006 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg

 

Introduction

The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; some of them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine, various tools and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project.

This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not fall under their own explicit license. The license affects thus the FreeType font engine, the test programs, documentation and makefiles, at the very least.

This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in commercial and freeware products alike. As a consequence, its main points are that:

o We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)

o You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form, without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)

o You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your documentation that you have used the FreeType code. (`credits')

We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or without modifications, in commercial products. We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and assume no liability related to The FreeType Project.

Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/disclaimer to use in compliance with this license. We thus encourage you to use the following text:

""" Portions of this software are copyright <year> The FreeType Project (www.freetype.org). All rights reserved. """

Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you actually use.

 

Legal Terms

0. Definitions

Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', and `FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally distributed by the authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg) as the `FreeType Project', be they named as alpha, beta or final release.

`You' refers to the licensee, or person using the project, where `using' is a generic term including compiling the project's source code as well as linking it to form a `program' or `executable'. This program is referred to as `a program using the FreeType engine'.

This license applies to all files distributed in the original FreeType Project, including all source code, binaries and documentation, unless otherwise stated in the file in its original, unmodified form as distributed in the original archive. If you are unsure whether or not a particular file is covered by this license, you must contact us to verify this.

The FreeType Project is copyright (C) 1996-2000 by David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg. All rights reserved except as specified below.

1. No Warranty

THE FREETYPE PROJECT IS PROVIDED `AS IS' WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT WILL ANY OF THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE USE OR THE INABILITY TO USE, OF THE FREETYPE PROJECT.

2. Redistribution

This license grants a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable right and license to use, execute, perform, compile, display, copy, create derivative works of, distribute and sublicense the FreeType Project (in both source and object code forms) and derivative works thereof for any purpose; and to authorize others to exercise some or all of the rights granted herein, subject to the following conditions:

o Redistribution of source code must retain this license file (`FTL.TXT') unaltered; any additions, deletions or changes to the original files must be clearly indicated in accompanying documentation. The copyright notices of the unaltered, original files must be preserved in all copies of source files.

o Redistribution in binary form must provide a disclaimer that states that the software is based in part of the work of the FreeType Team, in the distribution documentation. We also encourage you to put an URL to the FreeType web page in your documentation, though this isn't mandatory.

These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the FreeType Project, not just the unmodified files. If you use our work, you must acknowledge us. However, no fee need be paid to us.

3. Advertising

Neither the FreeType authors and contributors nor you shall use the name of the other for commercial, advertising, or promotional purposes without specific prior written permission.

We suggest, but do not require, that you use one or more of the following phrases to refer to this software in your documentation or advertising materials: `FreeType Project', `FreeType Engine', `FreeType library', or `FreeType Distribution'.

As you have not signed this license, you are not required to accept it. However, as the FreeType Project is copyrighted material, only this license, or another one contracted with the authors, grants you the right to use, distribute, and modify it. Therefore, by using, distributing, or modifying the FreeType Project, you indicate that you understand and accept all the terms of this license.

4. Contacts

There are two mailing lists related to FreeType:

o freetype@nongnu.org

Discusses general use and applications of FreeType, as well as future and wanted additions to the library and distribution. If you are looking for support, start in this list if you haven't found anything to help you in the documentation.

o freetype-devel@nongnu.org

Discusses bugs, as well as engine internals, design issues, specific licenses, porting, etc.

(3) Permission for use of this software is granted only if the user accepts full responsibility for any undesirable consequences; the authors accept NO LIABILITY for damages of any kind.

 

These conditions apply to any software derived from or based on the IJG code, not just to the unmodified library. If you use our work, you ought to acknowledge us.

 

Permission is NOT granted for the use of any IJG author's name or company name in advertising or publicity relating to this software or products derived from it. This software may be referred to only as "the Independent JPEG Group's software".

 

We specifically permit and encourage the use of this software as the basis of commercial products, provided that all warranty or liability claims are assumed by the product vendor.

 

The Unix configuration script "configure" was produced with GNU Autoconf. It is copyright by the Free Software Foundation but is freely distributable. The same holds for its supporting scripts (config.guess, config.sub, ltmain.sh).  Another support script, install-sh, is copyright by X Consortium but is also freely distributable.

 

The IJG distribution formerly included code to read and write GIF files. To avoid entanglement with the Unisys LZW patent (now expired), GIF reading support has been removed altogether, and the GIF writer has been simplified to produce "uncompressed GIFs".  This technique does not use the LZW algorithm; the resulting GIF files are larger than usual, but are readable by all standard GIF decoders.

GNU LIBRARY GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for your libraries, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is the same as in the ordinary license.

The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License treats it as such.

Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.

However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only works together with the library.

Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary General Public License rather than by this special one.

 

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".

A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The modified work must itself be a software library.

b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.

(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.

4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)

b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.

c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.

d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.

7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.

b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.

10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Library General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries

If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).

To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

Copyright (C) 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.

We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".

A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The modified work must itself be a software library.

b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.

(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.

4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)

b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library. A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.

c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.

d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.

e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.

7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.

b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.

10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries

If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).

To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

one line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does.

version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

 

This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,

You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public

Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA  02110-1301  USA

 

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

3. Distribution Obligations.

3.1. Application of License. The Modifications which You create or to which You contribute are governed by the terms of this License, including without limitation Section 2.2. The Source Code version of Covered Code may be distributed only under the terms of this License or a future version of this License released under Section 6.1, and You must include a copy of this License with every copy of the Source Code You distribute. You may not offer or impose any terms on any Source Code version that alters or restricts the applicable version of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder. However, You may include an additional document offering the additional rights described in Section 3.5.

3.2. Availability of Source Code. Any Modification which You create or to which You contribute must be made available in Source Code form under the terms of this License either on the same media as an Executable version or via an accepted Electronic Distribution Mechanism to anyone to whom you made an Executable version available; and if made available via Electronic Distribution Mechanism, must remain available for at least twelve (12) months after the date it initially became available, or at least six (6) months after a subsequent version of that particular Modification has been made available to such recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that the Source Code version remains available even if the Electronic Distribution Mechanism is maintained by a third party.

3.3. Description of Modifications. You must cause all Covered Code to which You contribute to contain a file documenting the changes You made to create that Covered Code and the date of any change. You must include a prominent statement that the Modification is derived, directly or indirectly, from Original Code provided by the Initial Developer and including the name of the Initial Developer in (a) the Source Code, and (b) in any notice in an Executable version or related documentation in which You describe the origin or ownership of the Covered Code.

3.4. Intellectual Property Matters

(a) Third Party Claims. If Contributor has knowledge that a license under a third party's intellectual property rights is required to exercise the rights granted by such Contributor under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, Contributor must include a text file with the Source Code distribution titled "LEGAL" which describes the claim and the party making the claim in sufficient detail that a recipient will know whom to contact. If Contributor obtains such knowledge after the Modification is made available as described in Section 3.2, Contributor shall promptly modify the LEGAL file in all copies Contributor makes available thereafter and shall take other steps (such as notifying appropriate mailing lists or newsgroups) reasonably calculated to inform those who received the Covered Code that new knowledge has been obtained.

(b) Contributor APIs. If Contributor's Modifications include an application programming interface and Contributor has knowledge of patent licenses which are reasonably necessary to implement that API, Contributor must also include this information in the LEGAL file.

(c) Representations. Contributor represents that, except as disclosed pursuant to Section 3.4(a) above, Contributor believes that Contributor's Modifications are Contributor's original creation(s) and/or Contributor has sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this License.

3.5. Required Notices. You must duplicate the notice in Exhibit A in each file of the Source Code. If it is not possible to put such notice in a particular Source Code file due to its structure, then You must include such notice in a location (such as a relevant directory) where a user would be likely to look for such a notice. If You created one or more Modification(s) You may add your name as a Contributor to the notice described in Exhibit A. You must also duplicate this License in any documentation for the Source Code where You describe recipients' rights or ownership rights relating to Covered Code. You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered Code. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear than any such warranty, support, indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or liability terms You offer.

3.6. Distribution of Executable Versions. You may distribute Covered Code in Executable form only if the requirements of Section 3.1-3.5 have been met for that Covered Code, and if You include a notice stating that the Source Code version of the Covered Code is available under the terms of this License, including a description of how and where You have fulfilled the obligations of Section 3.2. The notice must be conspicuously included in any notice in an Executable version, related documentation or collateral in which You describe recipients' rights relating to the Covered Code. You may distribute the Executable version of Covered Code or ownership rights under a license of Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License, provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License and that the license for the Executable version does not attempt to limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code version from the rights set forth in this License. If You distribute the Executable version under a different license You must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial Developer or any Contributor. You hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any such terms You offer.

3.7. Larger Works. You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled for the Covered Code.

4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation.

If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this License with respect to some or all of the Covered Code due to statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b) describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must be included in the LEGAL file described in Section 3.4 and must be included with all distributions of the Source Code. Except to the extent prohibited by statute or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.

5. Application of this License.

This License applies to code to which the Initial Developer has attached the notice in Exhibit A and to related Covered Code.

6. Versions of the License.

6.1. New Versions. Netscape Communications Corporation ("Netscape") may publish revised and/or new versions of the License from time to time. Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.

6.2. Effect of New Versions.

Once Covered Code has been published under a particular version of the License, You may always continue to use it under the terms of that version. You may also choose to use such Covered Code under the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by Netscape. No one other than Netscape has the right to modify the terms applicable to Covered Code created under this License.

6.3. Derivative Works. If You create or use a modified version of this License (which you may only do in order to apply it to code which is not already Covered Code governed by this License), You must (a) rename Your license so that the phrases "Mozilla", "MOZILLAPL", "MOZPL", "Netscape", "MPL", "NPL" or any confusingly similar phrase do not appear in your license (except to note that your license differs from this License) and (b) otherwise make it clear that Your version of the license contains terms which differ from the Mozilla Public License and Netscape Public License. (Filling in the name of the Initial Developer, Original Code or Contributor in the notice described in Exhibit A shall not of themselves be deemed to be modifications of this License.)

7. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.

COVERED CODE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED CODE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED CODE IS WITH YOU. SHOULD ANY COVERED CODE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE. NO USE OF ANY COVERED CODE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS DISCLAIMER.

8. TERMINATION.

8.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach. All sublicenses to the Covered Code which are properly granted shall survive any termination of this License. Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond the termination of this License shall survive.

8.2. If You initiate litigation by asserting a patent infringement claim (excluding declatory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You file such action is referred to as "Participant") alleging that:

(a) such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted by such Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days notice from Participant terminate prospectively, unless if within 60 days after receipt of notice You either: (i) agree in writing to pay Participant a mutually agreeable reasonable royalty for Your past and future use of Modifications made by such Participant, or (ii) withdraw Your litigation claim with respect to the Contributor Version against such Participant. If within 60 days of notice, a reasonable royalty and payment arrangement are not mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties or the litigation claim is not withdrawn, the rights granted by Participant to You under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 automatically terminate at the expiration of the 60 day notice period specified above.

(b) any software, hardware, or device, other than such Participant's Contributor Version, directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then any rights granted to You by such Participant under Sections 2.1(b) and 2.2(b) are revoked effective as of the date You first made, used, sold, distributed, or had made, Modifications made by that Participant.

8.3. If You assert a patent infringement claim against Participant alleging that such Participant's Contributor Version directly or indirectly infringes any patent where such claim is resolved (such as by license or settlement) prior to the initiation of patent infringement litigation, then the reasonable value of the licenses granted by such Participant under Sections 2.1 or 2.2 shall be taken into account in determining the amount or value of any payment or license.

8.4. In the event of termination under Sections 8.1 or 8.2 above, all end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which have been validly granted by You or any distributor hereunder prior to termination shall survive termination.

9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF COVERED CODE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

10. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.

The Covered Code is a "commercial item," as that term is defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212 (Sept. 1995). Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Code with only those rights set forth herein.

11. MISCELLANEOUS.

This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. This License shall be governed by California law provisions (except to the extent applicable law, if any, provides otherwise), excluding its conflict-of-law provisions. With respect to disputes in which at least one party is a citizen of, or an entity chartered or registered to do business in the United States of America, any litigation relating to this License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Courts of the Northern District of California, with venue lying in Santa Clara County, California, with the losing party responsible for costs, including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Any law or regulation which provides that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter shall not apply to this License.

12. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.

As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License and You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis. Nothing herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission of liability.

13. MULTIPLE-LICENSED CODE.

Initial Developer may designate portions of the Covered Code as "Multiple-Licensed". "Multiple-Licensed" means that the Initial Developer permits you to utilize portions of the Covered Code under Your choice of the MPL or the alternative licenses, if any, specified by the Initial Developer in the file described in Exhibit A.

      "Source" form shall mean the preferred form for making modifications,
      including but not limited to software source code, documentation
      source, and configuration files.

      "Object" form shall mean any form resulting from mechanical
      transformation or translation of a Source form, including but
      not limited to compiled object code, generated documentation,
      and conversions to other media types.

      "Work" shall mean the work of authorship, whether in Source or
      Object form, made available under the License, as indicated by a
      copyright notice that is included in or attached to the work
      (an example is provided in the Appendix below).

      "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
      form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
      editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
      represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
      of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain
      separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
      the Work and Derivative Works thereof.

      "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including

      designated in writing by the copyright owner as "Not a Contribution."

      "Contributor" shall mean Licensor and any individual or Legal Entity
      on behalf of whom a Contribution has been received by Licensor and
      subsequently incorporated within the Work.

   2. Grant of Copyright License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
      copyright license to reproduce, prepare Derivative Works of,
      publicly display, publicly perform, sublicense, and distribute the
      Work and such Derivative Works in Source or Object form.

   3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of
      this License, each Contributor hereby grants to You a perpetual,
      worldwide, non-exclusive, no-charge, royalty-free, irrevocable
      (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
      use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,
      where such license applies only to those patent claims licensable
      by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
      Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
      with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
      institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
      cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
      or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
      or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
      granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
      as of the date such litigation is filed.

   4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
      Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
      modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
      meet the following conditions:

      (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
          Derivative Works a copy of this License; and

      (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
          stating that You changed the files; and

      (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
          that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
          attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
          excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
          the Derivative Works; and

      (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
          distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
          include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
          within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
          pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
          of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
          as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
          documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
          within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
          wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
          of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
          do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
          notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
          or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
          that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
          as modifying the License.

      You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
      may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
      for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
      for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
      reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
      the conditions stated in this License.

   5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
      any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
      by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
      this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
      Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
      the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
      with Licensor regarding such Contributions.

   6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
      names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
      except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
      origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.

   7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
      agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
      Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
      WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
      implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
      of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
      PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
      appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
      risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.

   8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
      whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
      unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
      negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
      liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
      incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
      result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
      and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
      or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
      License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
      on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
      of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
      defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
      incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
      of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

2. License Grants and Conditions
--------------------------------

2.1. Grants

Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
non-exclusive license:

(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
    modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
    Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or
    as part of a Larger Work; and

(b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer
    for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its
    Contributions or its Contributor Version.

2.2. Effective Date

The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
distributes such Contribution.

2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope

The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
Contributor:

(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
    or

(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
    Version); or

(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
    its Contributions.

This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
the notice requirements in Section 3.4).

2.4. Subsequent Licenses

No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).

2.5. Representation

Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.

2.6. Fair Use

This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
equivalents.

2.7. Conditions

Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
in Section 2.1.

3. Responsibilities
-------------------

3.1. Distribution of Source Form

All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
Form.

3.2. Distribution of Executable Form

If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:

(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and

(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.

3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work

You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
License(s).

3.4. Notices

You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.

3.5. Application of Additional Terms

You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
jurisdiction.

4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
---------------------------------------------------

If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.

5. Termination
--------------

5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
Your receipt of the notice.

5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
2.1 of this License shall terminate.

5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
prior to termination shall survive termination.

courts of a jurisdiction where the defendant maintains its principal
place of business and such litigation shall be governed by laws of that
jurisdiction, without reference to its conflict-of-law provisions.
Nothing in this Section shall prevent a party's ability to bring
cross-claims or counter-claims.

9. Miscellaneous
----------------

This License represents the complete agreement concerning the subject
matter hereof. If any provision of this License is held to be
unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
necessary to make it enforceable. Any law or regulation which provides
that the language of a contract shall be construed against the drafter
shall not be used to construe this License against a Contributor.

            granted: (1) for code that You delete from the Original
            Software, or (2) for infringements caused by: (i) the
            modification of the Original Software, or (ii) the
            combination of the Original Software with other software
            or devices.

            Contributor Version) or other devices; or (3) under Patent
            Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
            Modifications made by that Contributor.

3. Distribution Obligations.

    3.1. Availability of Source Code.

    Any Covered Software that You distribute or otherwise make
    available in Executable form must also be made available in Source
    Code form and that Source Code form must be distributed only under
    the terms of this License.  You must include a copy of this
    License with every copy of the Source Code form of the Covered
    Software You distribute or otherwise make available.  You must
    inform recipients of any such Covered Software in Executable form
    as to how they can obtain such Covered Software in Source Code
    form in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily
    used for software exchange.

    3.2. Modifications.

    The Modifications that You create or to which You contribute are
    governed by the terms of this License.  You represent that You
    believe Your Modifications are Your original creation(s) and/or
    You have sufficient rights to grant the rights conveyed by this
    License.

    3.3. Required Notices.

    You must include a notice in each of Your Modifications that
    identifies You as the Contributor of the Modification.  You may
    not remove or alter any copyright, patent or trademark notices
    contained within the Covered Software, or any notices of licensing
    or any descriptive text giving attribution to any Contributor or
    the Initial Developer.

    3.4. Application of Additional Terms.

    You may not offer or impose any terms on any Covered Software in
    Source Code form that alters or restricts the applicable version
    of this License or the recipients' rights hereunder.  You may
    choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
    indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of
    Covered Software.  However, you may do so only on Your own behalf,
    and not on behalf of the Initial Developer or any Contributor.
    You must make it absolutely clear that any such warranty, support,
    indemnity or liability obligation is offered by You alone, and You
    hereby agree to indemnify the Initial Developer and every
    Contributor for any liability incurred by the Initial Developer or
    such Contributor as a result of warranty, support, indemnity or
    liability terms You offer.

    3.5. Distribution of Executable Versions.

    You may distribute the Executable form of the Covered Software
    under the terms of this License or under the terms of a license of
    Your choice, which may contain terms different from this License,
    provided that You are in compliance with the terms of this License
    and that the license for the Executable form does not attempt to
    limit or alter the recipient's rights in the Source Code form from
    the rights set forth in this License.  If You distribute the
    Covered Software in Executable form under a different license, You
    must make it absolutely clear that any terms which differ from
    this License are offered by You alone, not by the Initial
    Developer or Contributor.  You hereby agree to indemnify the
    Initial Developer and every Contributor for any liability incurred
    by the Initial Developer or such Contributor as a result of any
    such terms You offer.

    3.6. Larger Works.

    You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Software with
    other code not governed by the terms of this License and
    distribute the Larger Work as a single product.  In such a case,
    You must make sure the requirements of this License are fulfilled
    for the Covered Software.

4. Versions of the License.

    4.1. New Versions.

    Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license steward and may
    publish revised and/or new versions of this License from time to
    time.  Each version will be given a distinguishing version number.
    Except as provided in Section 4.3, no one other than the license
    steward has the right to modify this License.

    4.2. Effect of New Versions.

    You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the
    Covered Software available under the terms of the version of the
    License under which You originally received the Covered Software.
    If the Initial Developer includes a notice in the Original
    Software prohibiting it from being distributed or otherwise made
    available under any subsequent version of the License, You must
    distribute and make the Covered Software available under the terms
    of the version of the License under which You originally received
    the Covered Software.  Otherwise, You may also choose to use,
    distribute or otherwise make the Covered Software available under
    the terms of any subsequent version of the License published by
    the license steward.

    4.3. Modified Versions.

    When You are an Initial Developer and You want to create a new
    license for Your Original Software, You may create and use a
    modified version of this License if You: (a) rename the license
    and remove any references to the name of the license steward
    (except to note that the license differs from this License); and
    (b) otherwise make it clear that the license contains terms which
    differ from this License.

5. DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY.

    COVERED SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS LICENSE ON AN "AS IS"
    BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
    INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WARRANTIES THAT THE COVERED
    SOFTWARE IS FREE OF DEFECTS, MERCHANTABLE, FIT FOR A PARTICULAR
    PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGING.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND
    PERFORMANCE OF THE COVERED SOFTWARE IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD ANY
    COVERED SOFTWARE PROVE DEFECTIVE IN ANY RESPECT, YOU (NOT THE
    INITIAL DEVELOPER OR ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR) ASSUME THE COST OF ANY
    NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.  THIS DISCLAIMER OF
    WARRANTY CONSTITUTES AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THIS LICENSE.  NO USE OF
    ANY COVERED SOFTWARE IS AUTHORIZED HEREUNDER EXCEPT UNDER THIS
    DISCLAIMER.

6. TERMINATION.

    6.1. This License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate
    automatically if You fail to comply with terms herein and fail to
    cure such breach within 30 days of becoming aware of the breach.
    Provisions which, by their nature, must remain in effect beyond
    the termination of this License shall survive.

    6.2. If You assert a patent infringement claim (excluding
    declaratory judgment actions) against Initial Developer or a
    Contributor (the Initial Developer or Contributor against whom You
    assert such claim is referred to as "Participant") alleging that
    the Participant Software (meaning the Contributor Version where
    the Participant is a Contributor or the Original Software where
    the Participant is the Initial Developer) directly or indirectly
    infringes any patent, then any and all rights granted directly or
    indirectly to You by such Participant, the Initial Developer (if
    the Initial Developer is not the Participant) and all Contributors
    under Sections 2.1 and/or 2.2 of this License shall, upon 60 days
    notice from Participant terminate prospectively and automatically
    at the expiration of such 60 day notice period, unless if within
    such 60 day period You withdraw Your claim with respect to the
    Participant Software against such Participant either unilaterally
    or pursuant to a written agreement with Participant.

    6.3. In the event of termination under Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above,
    all end user licenses that have been validly granted by You or any
    distributor hereunder prior to termination (excluding licenses
    granted to You by any distributor) shall survive termination.

7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.

    UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES AND UNDER NO LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER TORT
    (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL YOU, THE
    INITIAL DEVELOPER, ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTOR, OR ANY DISTRIBUTOR OF
    COVERED SOFTWARE, OR ANY SUPPLIER OF ANY OF SUCH PARTIES, BE
    LIABLE TO ANY PERSON FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR
    CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER INCLUDING, WITHOUT
    LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, WORK
    STOPPAGE, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, OR ANY AND ALL OTHER
    COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY SHALL HAVE BEEN
    INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  THIS LIMITATION OF
    LIABILITY SHALL NOT APPLY TO LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL
    INJURY RESULTING FROM SUCH PARTY'S NEGLIGENCE TO THE EXTENT
    APPLICABLE LAW PROHIBITS SUCH LIMITATION.  SOME JURISDICTIONS DO
    NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF INCIDENTAL OR
    CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION MAY NOT
    APPLY TO YOU.

8. U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.

    The Covered Software is a "commercial item," as that term is
    defined in 48 C.F.R. 2.101 (Oct. 1995), consisting of "commercial
    computer software" (as that term is defined at 48
    C.F.R. 252.227-7014(a)(1)) and "commercial computer software
    documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212
    (Sept. 1995).  Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48
    C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4 (June 1995), all
    U.S. Government End Users acquire Covered Software with only those
    rights set forth herein.  This U.S. Government Rights clause is in
    lieu of, and supersedes, any other FAR, DFAR, or other clause or
    provision that addresses Government rights in computer software
    under this License.

9. MISCELLANEOUS.

    This License represents the complete agreement concerning subject
    matter hereof.  If any provision of this License is held to be
    unenforceable, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent
    necessary to make it enforceable.  This License shall be governed
    by the law of the jurisdiction specified in a notice contained
    within the Original Software (except to the extent applicable law,
    if any, provides otherwise), excluding such jurisdiction's
    conflict-of-law provisions.  Any litigation relating to this
    License shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts located
    in the jurisdiction and venue specified in a notice contained
    within the Original Software, with the losing party responsible
    for costs, including, without limitation, court costs and
    reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.  The application of the
    United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale
    of Goods is expressly excluded.  Any law or regulation which
    provides that the language of a contract shall be construed
    against the drafter shall not apply to this License.  You agree
    that You alone are responsible for compliance with the United
    States export administration regulations (and the export control
    laws and regulation of any other countries) when You use,
    distribute or otherwise make available any Covered Software.

10. RESPONSIBILITY FOR CLAIMS.

    As between Initial Developer and the Contributors, each party is
    responsible for claims and damages arising, directly or
    indirectly, out of its utilization of rights under this License
    and You agree to work with Initial Developer and Contributors to
    distribute such responsibility on an equitable basis.  Nothing
    herein is intended or shall be deemed to constitute any admission
    of liability.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

GNU General Public License, version 2, with the Classpath Exception

                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                       Version 2, June 1991

Copyright (C) 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

                            Preamble

  The licenses for most software are designed to take away your
freedom to share and change it.  By contrast, the GNU General Public
License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free
software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.  This
General Public License applies to most of the Free Software
Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to
using it.  (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by
the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.)  You can apply it to
your programs, too.

  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it
if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it
in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

  To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights.
These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you
distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have.  You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the
source code.  And you must show them these terms so they know their
rights.

  We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and
(2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy,
distribute and/or modify the software.

  Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain
that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free
software.  If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we
want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so
that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original
authors' reputations.

  Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents.  We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the
program proprietary.  To prevent this, we have made it clear that any
patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modification follow.

                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
   TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

  0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains
a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed
under the terms of this General Public License.  The "Program", below,
refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program"
means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law:
that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it,
either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another
language.  (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in
the term "modification".)  Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of
running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program
is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the
Program (independent of having been made by running the Program).
Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

  1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you
conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate
copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the
notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty;
and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License
along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and
you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

  2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion
of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and
distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1
above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

    a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
    stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

    b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
    whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
    part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
    parties under the terms of this License.

    c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
    when run, you must cause it, when started running for such
    interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an
    announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a
    notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide
    a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under
    these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this
    License.  (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but
    does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on
    the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole.  If
identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program,
and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in
themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those
sections when you distribute them as separate works.  But when you
distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of
this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the
entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to
exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program
with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of
a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under
the scope of this License.

  3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it,
under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of
Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

    a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable
    source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections
    1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

    b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three
    years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
    cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
    machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be
    distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
    customarily used for software interchange; or,

    c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer
    to distribute corresponding source code.  (This alternative is
    allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
    received the program in object code or executable form with such
    an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for
making modifications to it.  For an executable work, complete source
code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any
associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to
control compilation and installation of the executable.  However, as a
special exception, the source code distributed need not include
anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary
form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component
itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering
access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent
access to copy the source code from the same place counts as
distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not
compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

  4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
except as expressly provided under this License.  Any attempt
otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
parties remain in full compliance.

  5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
signed it.  However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
distribute the Program or its derivative works.  These actions are
prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.  Therefore, by
modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
the Program or works based on it.

  6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
these terms and conditions.  You may not impose any further
restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
this License.

  7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot
distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
may not distribute the Program at all.  For example, if a patent
license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under
any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to
apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other
circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any
patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any
such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the
integrity of the free software distribution system, which is
implemented by public license practices.  Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed
through that system in reliance on consistent application of that
system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing
to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot
impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to
be a consequence of the rest of this License.

  8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the
original copyright holder who places the Program under this License
may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding
those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among
countries not thus excluded.  In such case, this License incorporates
the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

  9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions
of the General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the Program
specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any
later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions
either of that version or of any later version published by the Free
Software Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of
this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software
Foundation.

  10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author
to ask for permission.  For software which is copyrighted by the Free
Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes
make exceptions for this.  Our decision will be guided by the two goals
of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and
of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

                            NO WARRANTY

  11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY
FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES
PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS
TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE
PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING,
REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

  12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR
REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES,
INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING
OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest
to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively
convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least
the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

     
    Copyright (C)   

    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by
    the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or
    (at your option) any later version.

    This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful,
    but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of
    MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  See the
    GNU General Public License for more details.

    You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along
    with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc.,
    51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this
when it starts in an interactive mode:

    Gnomovision version 69, Copyright (C) year name of author
    Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'.
    This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it
    under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate
parts of the General Public License.  Of course, the commands you use may
be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be
mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your
school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if
necessary.  Here is a sample; alter the names:

  Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program
  `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

  , 1 April 1989
  Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into
proprietary programs.  If your program is a subroutine library, you may
consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the
library.  If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General
Public License instead of this License.

Press Release: SINAS ALERTS PNP UNITS VS. CPP/NPA OFFENSIVE

The Philippine National Police high command reminded anew all police field units to remain alert and vigilant against possible increased hostilities by the communist New People's Army ahead of the communist movement's 52nd founding anniversary on December 26.

"The CPP-NPA-NDF is known to launch high-profile hostilities to drumbeat commemoration of significant dates in the underground movement over the past five decades," Sinas said adding that "the recent rash of hostile actions initiated by the CPP-NPA-NDF are all part of that long vicious cycle and 50-year tradition of violence of the local communist movement."

The PNP leadership alerted police field units to maintain defensive security posture amid the latest series of CPP-NPA-NDF hostilities against government personnel, isolated government installations, and civilian communities mostly with the use of landmines, long outlawed by international conventions for use in warfare.

The latest CPP-NPA-NDF violent action was reported yesterday (Dec 17) in Western Visayas when a PNP patrol vehicle hit a landmine in Barangay Balicua, Tubungan, Iloilo at 2:45 PM.

The PNP Team on board led by Police Lieutenant Romel Samson, were unhurt and immediately initiated counter-ambush measures.

On December 15, two military trucks transporting relief goods for disaster victims hit a landmine in Barangay Sogoy, Castilla, Sorsogon at 5:20AM.

On December 10, a police corporal died in a landmine-ambush staged by the CPP-NPA-NDF on a police team performing administrative mission to escort an accused to court in Barangay Logero, Marabut, Samar.

Teach Me To Pray, Lord

Dear Lord Jesus,
What a privilege we have as Your blood-bought children to be able to enter the throne-room of grace and bring our prayers and supplication right into the presence of God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. So Father God, teach me to pray. Not just the prayers when my mind and my life are still. Teach me to pray during the chaos of the day — where my connection with You is real and ongoing. My heart longs to pray in the way that is pleasing to You Father, so that my prayers are both powerful and effective. I want to know You better so that I may know Your will. Then, I can pray into Your perfect plans and purposes, not only in my own life and the lives of those that I love, but also in a world where lost people are dying and souls are in despair. But Lord, I understand that only as I abide in You and rest my weary soul in Your loving arms, by submitting to Your Holy Spirit, day by day in spirit and truth, will my prayers and pleadings accomplish the wonderful results that are honoring to You. Teach me Your will I pray, through Your Word, and may Your guiding Holy Spirit turn the thoughts of my heart towards those things that You have planned and purposed. Then I will truly be praying into Your will, so that Your name may be glorified in my life and the lives of others. Teach me day by day to pray as I ought. Lord, thank You for allowing me to walk with You moment by moment. I love You Lord — and look forward to praying on-the-go and in the silence.
In Jesus' Name I Pray....
AMEN

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
For ever and ever. Amen
(Matthew 6:9-13)

This is the confidence we have in approaching God; that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us."
(1 John 5:14)

Together may we magnify the Lord and exalt the wonders of His name — for You alone are worthy of our praise and worship — not only in this world but in the eternal ages that are to come. How I Praise the Lord in the beauty of holiness, and how I rejoice in His name, and again I say rejoice!

In Jesus' Name I Pray....
AMEN

Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.

By Bohol Provincial Library: December 18, 1941, President Manuel L. Quezon issued Executive Order No. 386, s. 1941, mandating all Philippine flags to be flown with the red field on top to signify a state of war due to the Japanese invasion and occupation in the Philippines.

Commonwealth President Manuel L. Quezon's Executive Order No. 386 was titled: "Placing The Red Stripe Of The Filipino Flag Up During The Present Emergency." It was the first time since the Filipino-American War that the Philippine flag was ordered displayed in such manner.

The Commonwealth government-in-exile in Washington, D.C. continued to use the flag, and had flown  with the red stripe up since the initial invasion of the Japanese. In the aftermath of World War II, the Commonwealth of the Philippines was restored with the combined forces of the Filipino & American soldiers liberating the Philippines in 1944 to 1945. And it was this flag that was hoisted upon the granting of Philippine independence from the United States on July 4, 1946.

Press Release: Chief PNP visits PAGCOR; Secures P500M fund for Hospital building construction in Camp Bagong Diwa.

Last December 17, 2020, PGEN DEBOLD M SINAS, Chief, Philippine National Police paid a courtesy visit to the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) Chairwoman Andrea D. Domingo who warmly welcomed him at her office in Metropolitan Park, Roxas Boulevard, Pasay Metro Manila.

The meeting of two executives focused on the issues of illegal gambling, especially the online gaming illegal proliferating in the internet. Guidance in conducting law enforcement operations to curb this economic crime was also discussed.

Based on agreed conditions, the growing number of operators requesting certification from PAGCOR will only be approved if they channel their application through the Office of the Chief PNP.

PAGCOR clarified that they are not involved in the conduct of raids or similar operations against illegal online gaming operators and illegal gambling activities as a whole. They are into the regulatory functions of the government and the enforcement of laws is the ambit of concerned authorities like the PNP. Both agencies have, however, agreed on terms before the conduct of any police operations. The PNP shall also seek prior verification from PAGCOR to validate the legality of an online gaming operator.

PGEN SINAS extended assurance to Chairwoman Domingo to not hesitate reporting to the PNP all the irregularities that may be observed on police operatives for the PNP leadership to take appropriate action as he stressed his "No Take Policy."

On the other hand, Domingo said that under the instruction of the President, electronic "sabong" or e-sabong would be under the regulatory power of PAGCOR probably by January 2021, while the cockpit will still be under the supervision of Local Government Units.

The meeting also tackled the construction of a hospital building at Camp Bagong Diwa in Bicutan with a P500M fund from PAGCOR and another P100M will also be used for the procurement of hospital equipment.

Meat has nutritional value, but there are dangers in eating too much red and processed meats.

The majority of people around the world receive their vital nutrients from meat. More specifically, pork is the most widely eaten meat in the world. It makes up 36 percent of global meat consumption. Poultry comes in second, at a close 35 percent, and beef stands at 22 percent.

Amazingly, in 2018, the world produced a record high of well over 200 pounds of red meat and poultry per person. The volume of chicken produced globally has grown five-fold since 1970. Clearly, we're eating a lot of meat. But that may not be a good thing for our health – or for the planet.

The key message here is: Meat has nutritional value, but there are dangers in eating too much red and processed meats.

Meat provides us with essential nutrients like zinc, various forms of vitamin B, riboflavin, iron, and, of course, protein. Calorie-wise, pork comes out on top with 310 calories for a standard three-ounce portion. It is followed by beef at 245 calories, lamb at 235, goat at 122, and chicken at 120 calories. 

So is meat part of a healthy diet? Well, it depends on the sort of meat you consume and how much of it ends up on your plate. An excess of red meat – which includes beef, pork, veal, lamb, goat, and mutton – can be a problem. The same goes for processed meats like smoked bacon or salami. 

Processed meats generally contain lots of salt, sugars, and preservatives. And smoked meat products, as well as meat grilled over high heat, have been proven to contain carcinogenic substances. 

But even though processed meat isn't the healthiest of foods, it's a popular element of many Western diets. And this means that it's been heavily researched. In 2014, experts from around the world reviewed over 800 studies and confirmed that there is a link between eating processed meat and having a greater risk of cancer. 

Their analysis found that eating as little as 50 g of processed meat every day increased the risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent. As for red meat, experts agreed that a daily intake of 100 g increased the risk of colorectal cancer by 17 percent.

Scientists are studying cooking methods as well. And there are also some researchers who are looking at correlations between red meat and stomach or prostate cancer. 

That research is ongoing, but it's safe to say that many Western diets do include too much red meat. By cutting back a bit, you can make sure that the nutritional benefit of meat isn't outweighed by the risks. - source: Blinklist Book Summary

Modern farming practices are efficient, but they aren't good for the planet.

There's no doubt about it – food production has become a lot more efficient.

In the 1970s, the use of concentrated animal feeding operations – or CAFOs – became widespread in the meat industry. It now takes much less food, water, and land to produce beef, milk, and eggs. In fact, the carbon footprint of beef production has decreased by 16 percent since the rise in CAFOs. 

But these numbers don't tell the full story.

The key message here is: Modern farming practices are efficient, but they aren't good for the planet.

For CAFOs to hit these numbers, farmers have to use chemicals, hormones, and antibiotics. The aim is to make animals grow faster and keep infections at bay. But these chemicals often end up on our dinner tables. They can also seep into our drinking water. Ultimately, we humans are indirectly consuming antibiotics intended for farm animals.

The American Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has determined that the use of antibiotics in the food industry is directly related to the growing rate of antibiotic resistance in humans. But the harm caused by CAFOs can also be much more explicit: in 2015 alone, there were nearly five thousand fatalities among American farmers, ranchers, and agricultural managers. The only job to claim more lives was professional driving.

Along with dangerous machinery and often unsafe working conditions, workers must contend with terrible air pollution. If you've ever been near an industrial farming complex, you'll know the stench is unbearable. It's created by a mix of gases – some produced by cattle and some appearing as byproducts of other specialized processes. These gases include methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, nitrous oxide, and many more. 

Routinely breathing these can cause asthma and chronic bronchitis, among other respiratory illnesses. And when these substances enter the atmosphere, they also contribute to climate change. 

It's becoming increasingly clear that CAFOs come with health concerns, and the US beef industry has responded. People who run industrial farms are in the process of, as they put it, "reassessing their operations." For its part, the European Union has banned the use of hormones in cattle.

Given the problems behind CAFOs, you may be wondering why we put so much importance on meat, dairy, and eggs. What's their nutritional value anyway? Let's take a look in the next blink. - source: Blinklist Book Summary

Making the right food choices affects both you and the planet.

Is what you eat really that important? The answer is, of course, yes. That's the easy bit. Explaining why, on the other hand, is much harder. Conversations about healthy eating can quickly get confusing – and personal. 

But it is possible to cut through the noise.

The key message here is: Making the right food choices affects both you and the planet.

First of all, what you choose to eat directly impacts your health. Biochemists and nutrition scientists agree that up to 80 percent of chronic diseases can be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices. Obviously, your diet plays a large role in this. 

But there's more. What you buy at the supermarket also directly impacts the planet. Currently, the way we produce food is very harmful to our land, sea, and air. The food industry creates a lot of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide, which directly contribute to climate change.

We're now producing more food than ever before, and it's helping in the global battle against hunger. Over the last 23 years, the rate of hunger in developing countries has fallen by more than 10 percent. 

But we're also wasting food on an epic scale. Every year, around 1.3 billion tons of perfectly edible food are thrown away. And it's not just about vegetables and meat. It's also a huge waste of money, resources, and energy.

So what does this all mean? Well, for one, we should be more aware of what we're eating. And two, we need to be more mindful of how much food we need, where it comes from, and how it's produced. Every time we buy food we're making choices – and whether or not we're consciously thinking about them, these choices reflect our personal values about the world we want to live in.

We theoretically know how to produce enough food to feed everyone on the planet. We also have the technology to build sustainable, eco-friendly food systems. So what are we waiting for? Now is the perfect time to reconsider the kind of food systems we're supporting with our current food choices. - source: Blinklist Summary

Spiritual Renewal: Putting on Your New Self

Heavenly Father,

Thank You that You want us to live in freedom. That just because we have lived a certain way with a certain habit or sin our entire life, that it doesn't define us forever. Thank You that when we become believers and followers of You, that we can "put off the old man," the old lustful things of our flesh, and "put on the new man," pursuing a lifestyle of holiness and righteousness. Father, we know that we have not spent quality time with You, as we have allowed the daily duties of life and less-important issues to crowd out our special time alone in Your presence. Forgive us we pray. We want to use this time as an opportunity to get closer to You. Through the Holy Spirit's empowering, we are able to renew our minds day by day and clothe ourselves in purity. Thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit and for the power You have given us. We ask that You renew our mind and prompt us of anything that we are hanging onto in our former life that is hindering us from walking closely with You in our new life. Heal us Father we pray, not only in our body but also in our relationship with You. We love You Lord and we thank You for freeing us of all our old. We gladly invite the new in through You.
In Jesus' Name I Pray....
AMEN

Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception. Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy.
(Ephesians 4:22-24)

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
(Psalm 51:10)

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
(2 Corinthians 5:17)

But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.
(Isaiah 40:31)

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
(Romans 12:2)

A Prayer for Protection Against Evil

Dear Lord Jesus,

Evil is such a harsh word, and yet Your Word uses it frequently to describe the opposite of good. While we are all capable of sin, I ask Your protection against those who call good evil, and evil good. Guard us from those who scheme against righteousness and from those who twist truth into lies to accomplish their evil intents. May Your angels hover ever near to eradicate fear and fight against dark, spiritual forces we cannot see. Help us cast down every imagination and thought that our enemy tries to use to exalt itself against You. You dealt our spiritual enemy a fateful blow on Calvary when You died on the cross for us and were resurrected on the third day. While evil still roams, the power of Your name and Your blood rises up to defeat and bring us victory against every evil planned against us. While malicious actions may disturb us, we use the armor of God You have given us to stand firm. You will bring justice in due time for all the harm and needless violence aimed at Your children. Until then, we remain in Your presence, aligned with Your purposes, and we look to You as our Supreme Commander and Protector. Help us to avoid temptation, and deliver us from evil, Lord. You are the Mighty One, the One Who will ultimately bring all evil to light. With You, Jesus, we are safe. Thank You Lord, I love You.
In Jesus' Name I Pray....
AMEN  

Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
(Isaiah 41:10)

Obey the LORD and you will live a long life, content and safe from harm.
(Proverbs 19:23)

Yes, and the Lord will deliver me from every evil attack and will bring me safely into his heavenly Kingdom. All glory to God forever and ever! Amen.
(2 Timothy 4:18)

Though I am surrounded by troubles, you will protect me from the anger of my enemies. You reach out your hand, and the power of your right hand saves me.
(Psalm 138:7)

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
(Psalm 23:4)

#OnThisDay December 17, 2018, Miss Philippines Catriona Gray, 24 years old, was crowned Miss Universe 2018 at the beauty pageant held at IMPACT Arena, Muang Thong Thani in Nonthaburi Province, north of Bangkok, Thailand.

Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters of South Africa crowned her successor Catriona Gray of the Philippines at the end of the event. This is the fourth time that the Philippines has won Miss Universe [1st Gloria Diaz – 1969; 2nd Margarita Moran – 1973; 3rd Pia Wurtzbach – 2015] beating 94 other contestants from all around the world.

During the Q&A portion, she was asked, "What is the most important lesson you've learned in your life and how would you apply it to your time as Miss Universe?"

Her answer: "I work a lot in the slums of Tondo, Manila and the life there is poor and it's very sad. And I've always taught myself to look for the beauty in it; to look in the beauty in the faces of the children and to be grateful. And I will bring this aspect as a Miss Universe, to see situations with a silver lining. And to assess where I could give something; where I could provide something as a spokesperson. And this I think if I could teach also people to be grateful, we could have an amazing world where negativity could not grow and prosper, and children will have a smile on their faces. Thank you."

To raise indistractable kids, we need to understand the root causes of why they get distracted.

What's up with kids these days? They spend all their time glued to a screen rather than enjoying the great outdoors with their friends like we used to, right?

Wrong. Let's look at it from a different, and less idealized, point of view and ask ourselves why they're so dependent on digital devices.

As human behavior researchers Richard Ryan and Edward Deci show, overreliance on technological stimuli is a pretty good indicator of psychological undernourishment. Like us, kids need three things to flourish: autonomy, the ability to make uncoerced decisions; competence, the ability to learn and improve; and relatedness, the ability to relate meaningfully to others.

Sadly, lots of youngsters aren't getting those things in their offline lives. At school, they are stifled by rules. At home, they bear the burden of their parents' expectations and risk being labeled failures if they don't do well on standardized tests which fail to stimulate their imaginations. Worse, they spend less and less unstructured time with their friends.

Add that all up and it is hardly surprising that they turn to the online world. It's the only space they have to roam freely and interact with their friends independently. And that brings us full circle. If you want your kids to kick their digital distractions, you need to make sure you're giving them the psychological nutrients they need to grow.

The first thing to do is make sure they are getting plenty of unstructured playtime. Countless studies show how vital this is to their development. Your best bet is to find like-minded parents and schedule regular get-togethers with their kids.

It's just as important that children have input into how they spend their time. Like you, they are more than capable of learning to use the indistractability tools we've explored in these blinks. You can help that process along by talking to them about technology and its dangers and asking them how much time they think they should be spending on their phones.

You should also support their efforts to manage their own external triggers. Discuss the topic and you might even realize that you're sometimes what's distracting them from important tasks. Finally, help them make their own pacts to prevent distraction. The author's daughter, for example, learned to use a kitchen-timer to monitor the time she spent watching Netflix shows when she was just five. Amazingly, that was her own idea!

Distraction at work is a symptom of dysfunctional work culture.

Some causes of distraction are personal; others are structural. In this blink, we'll take a look at the latter. It's time to talk about dysfunctional work cultures. 

Here's the problem in a nutshell: if your company is ineffectively organized and run, your attempts to become indistractable will be hampered at every turn. One of the most common symptoms of workplace dysfunctionality is the way work increasingly eats into employees' "free time." 

In the age of smartphones and near limitless connectivity, more and more companies expect their workers to be on-call and answer work emails and enquiries around the clock. Resist doing that and you may find yourself out of a job. 

The real issue isn't technology, however; it's a culture in which time is badly managed, workers are overburdened and, yes, distracted. So what can you do to improve such situations? 

The answer is to create a platform for employees to voice their concerns safely. Without that, there's little chance they will ever exercise greater control over their work lives. The key word here is safety. If they feel like they will be punished for expressing their opinions, chances are they will keep quiet. 

Leaders have a special duty to foster that sense of safety, and they can do that when they lead by example, admit their fallibility and regularly ask the folks they are managing for feedback. This creates an atmosphere of learning and a culture in which people take risks because they are not scared of failing. 

Slack might be responsible for distracting innumerable employees around the world with its group chat software, but the company itself offers a great model of a functional workplace culture in action. It has a dedicated feedback channel allowing employees to share their thoughts on company life. There's even a channel called "#beef-tweets" which lets workers vent some steam at management. 

More importantly, managers respond to feedback, using the eyes emoji to signal that they've seen a complaint and an emoji to indicate that it's been resolved. It's a small touch but it goes a long way toward giving workers a sense of control.

Use pacts to prevent distraction.

By now you are ready to keep vexing distractions at bay. But this isn't a battle you can win in a day. If you want to stay indistractable, you'll be fighting the good fight every day. That is not as daunting as it might sound – in fact, there are plenty of tricks to help you do just that. 

Take effort pacts. This is a strategy to make unwanted behavior more difficult. Apps can actually help you here. SelfControl, for example, blocks your access to distracting websites and allows you to create "time out" periods for checking your emails. 

"Study buddies" are another option. Simply arrange a time and place to meet and get on with your work. Don't have a friend nearby who's up for that? Well, platforms like Focusmate pair you up with a study buddy, sometimes on the other side of the world. 

Then there's the price pact. As you might have guessed from the name, this imposes fines for missing targets. The author, for example, decided he'd burn a $100 bill every time he missed a gym session. In the three years since he first made that crazy-sounding pact with himself, he hasn't had to give a single dollar!

While that worked in the author's case, however, it's not the right method for every commitment. Some goals, like stopping biting your nails, can't be ironed out by self-punishment because you can't control the external trigger.

Another precommitment device is the identity pact. Imagine a one-time meat-eater who has decided to transition to a plant-based diet. If she defines herself as someone who has given up meat, she'll likely be plagued by temptation. If she calls herself a vegetarian, by contrast, she's defining herself positively rather than negatively. She isn't someone who can't eat meat; she's someone who doesn't eat meat. 

The identity pact is all about committing to living up to a positive image of your future self. That also works when it comes to beating distraction. If you define yourself as indistractable, you're much more likely to make that a reality.

Meetings, chats, newsfeeds and clunky homescreens can all be hacked back.

Emails aren't the only distraction in the workplace – pointless meetings that lead nowhere often devour even more of your precious time. Luckily, there's an easy way of fixing this common office issue. 

The secret is organization. All it takes is a policy stating meetings can only go ahead once the person calling the gathering has circulated a detailed agenda and a brief digest showing what steps they have taken to solve the problem. This raises the cost of preparation and reduces the likelihood of colleagues scheduling unnecessary sit-downs. 

The same principle can be applied to incessant group chats on Slack or Basecamp. Simply inform your coworkers that you'd like to prevent these getting out of hand and distracting you from your work and arrange a specific time of day for catching up with chats. 

Online articles and news feeds are just as distracting as meetings and team collaboration software. If you find them getting in the way of your goals, you can take a leaf out of the author's book. Rather than trying to keep up with the latest news during office hours, Eyal saves interesting articles on his phone using the Pocket app. He then uses that app's text-to-speech function to listen to the articles when he goes for a walk. It's a handy way of keeping fit and keeping distractions at bay! 

Then there are apps like Todobook, which replaces your Facebook feed with a news feed featuring your to-do list. DF Tube meanwhile removes Youtube's suggested videos and ads to help you use the site more mindfully. 

Talking of technical fixes, it's well worth taking a moment to arrange your phone and desktop. If they're littered with hundreds of rarely used or downright useless apps, it's time for a spring clean. Get rid of anything you don't use regularly and rearrange what's left so that essentials like GoogleMaps and rideshare services are easy to access. Keep notorious timewasters like Facebook and Twitter on the last page or use them only on your desktop where they are unlikely to tempt you. 

As for your desktop, you can copy the author's setup and put every file except the one you are working on right now in a folder called "everything" and use the search function to find them when you need them.

Safeguard your focus by cutting back office distractions and emails. 

So far we have looked at beating internal triggers to get the most traction in our daily lives. In this blink, we will zoom out and show you how to manage the multitude of external triggers in the world around you. Like coders who hack software, you'll break the code and rewrite it to your own advantage. 

This can be surprisingly simple. Take an example from the aviation industry. In the 1980s, countries began creating new regulations that explicitly forbade cabin crews and other staff from distracting pilots during take-off and landing, the most dangerous parts of a flight. 

That is a useful cue to follow in your own workplace. Like take-offs and landings, there are parts of your day that are more important than others. During those stretches, you need to be fully focused on the task at hand. In other words, you need to be indistractable. 

Whether it's a colored card you place on your desk or a special hat – the author's wife's solution – the key is to make your current status visible to the people around you. So tell your colleagues about your symbol and give them a chance to support you on your journey toward indistractablity! 

Emails are another common source of distraction. Today, the average office worker receives around 100 seperate messages a day. They are incredibly habit-forming because they provide something called variable rewards or, in everyday language, surprises. Because you never know what will show up in your inbox, you're motivated to keep checking it. 

Sorting your emails into two separate piles is an effective way of breaking that habit. Take it from the author. He places emails requiring a response that day into a folder marked "Today." Messages which only require a reply that week go into a second folder. He deals with the first set that same day and timeboxes a weekly slot to work through the second set. The result: fewer emails demanding your attention every day!

Safeguard time each week for yourself, your relationships and your work. 

If you don't know what you're striving toward, it's impossible to tell what distraction is actually preventing you from achieving. That is why it's so important to have a plan. 

The key to effective planning is timeboxing, or setting aside specific "slots" in your weekly schedule for the completion of particular tasks. 

Now, this doesn't always guarantee that you will actually hit your targets – some things, after all, are beyond your control. If you're not feeling tired come your planned bedtime, you'll likely struggle to sleep on schedule; if you're low on inspiration one morning, you won't write 5,000 words of your book that day. What timeboxing does guarantee is a framework which makes success possible. Put differently, if you're not in control of your time, you may not accomplish what you planned.  

What does timeboxing look like in practice? 

Well, as strange as it might sound, creating time slots for your work isn't the best place to start – the first thing you will need is to plan quality time for yourself. The reasoning behind this is straightforward: if you are not taking care of yourself, everything else from your work to your marriage will suffer. This means you will want to kick things off by setting aside enough time for sit-down meals, a good night's sleep and your hobbies. 

The second round of timeboxing is all about your relationships. Here, you are essentially taking care of the parts of your life that provide intimacy and a sense of connection – the things that center you. And because relationships are so important, it's vital to bring them to the fore rather than give the people you love the time that's left over. So go ahead and line up a monthly date with your partner, a bi-monthly get-together with your friends and an hour or two a day to play with your kids. 

And that brings us to work. You might not have the luxury of setting your own working hours, but that doesn't mean you can't control how you use your time at the office. You could set aside two hours for concentrated solo work in the morning, and timebox another late-afternoon slot for dealing with emails. Share that plan with your colleagues to ensure you won't be distracted when you need to focus.

Master your internal triggers by reassessing them.

Picture the scene. You are sitting at your desk when you suddenly feel that familiar twinge of boredom. Before you know it, you're ten minutes into another Instagram binge or email purge. It happens to most of us every day. Don't worry – there are ways to beat these internal triggers. 

Start by changing the way you think about triggers. How? One way is to record them. Next time you feel yourself succumbing to distraction, grab a pen and some paper and write down what you are feeling and what triggered it. Maybe it was a sudden wave of anxiety; maybe it was that your boss made you angry. Note down when it occurred and how you felt once you noticed the trigger. 

If you do this regularly, you will learn to identify triggers. Once you've got the hang of it, you can begin letting go of them. Psychologist Jonathan Bricker suggests a simple visualization technique: imagine sitting next to a stream and watching your distracting thoughts being carried away on leaves floating on the water. 

Here's another tip: make your tasks more fun. The reason we often reach for apps or games on our phones is simple – they're designed to be engaging. As interactive-computing expert Ian Bogost notes, that's because they have an incredibly effective system of rewards and challenges. Applying that insight to chores makes them much more interesting. Why not try, say, setting the challenge of doing a task in record time or serving customers in a new way?

Finally, reassess your potential. What you believe about yourself has a huge impact on what you are capable of accomplishing. If you tell yourself that you're powerless in the face of distraction because you don't have any self-control, for example, there's a good chance that will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. 

The trick to boosting your self-belief is to practice self-compassion. When you hear that critical inner voice telling you that you are lazy or distractible, try talking to yourself in the same way you would talk to a good friend. Do that and you'll remind yourself that you really do have the power to overcome distraction!

Distraction starts from within.

Why are we prone to distraction? One common answer is technology. If you've ever tried to give up your digital devices and gadgets, you'll know that not using them doesn't necessarily stop you from procrastinating. Whether it's doodling on a piece of paper or counting the books on your shelf, brains are masters at inventing forms of distraction. 

To understand what is going on when we are distracted, we need to talk about triggers – stimuli that spur us into action or tell us to do something. These come in two forms. External triggers come from the outside world – think pop-up notifications on your laptop. Internal triggers, like feeling bored or stressed, come from within. 

Triggers can either lead to traction or distraction. The former pulls us forward, triggering us to pursue our goals and ambitions. Distraction does the opposite; it drags us away from those goals. 

That's why technology alone can't be blamed for distraction. In reality, distraction always has internal sources. Distraction is about escaping something uncomfortable such as a rumbling stomach or marital problems or deep dissatisfaction with your career. Tech is only a proximate cause. We blame it for our inability to get things done and fail to look at the underlying problem. 

The bad news is that we are evolutionarily hardwired for discomfort. Our ancestors kept learning, growing and, ultimately, surviving because they weren't content with their lot. Today, thousands of years later, that heritage shows through in our tendency to see things in a negative light, ruminate on painful experiences and quickly grow bored of new situations. 

This makes us vulnerable to distraction. But here's the good news: we don't have to be slaves to our negative feelings – we can also harness them. Let's find out how.

Press Release
DATU PIANG COPS WHO FOUGHT BIFF TO RECEIVE COMMENDATION

A recommendation for awards to 22 members of the Datu Piang Municipal Police Station has been submitted to the PNP National Headquarters for assessment.

The Special Promotion, Awards and Decorations Board (SPADB) will review all available reports and witness' accounts of the circumstances surrounding the successful defense of the town of Datu Piang by members of the local police force led by Police Captain Israel Bayaona last December 3.

PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas announced these developments in-the-field while on a command visit at the Police Regional Office of Bangamoro Autonomous Region in Camp General Salipada K Pendatun in Parang, Maguindanao on Tuesday, his second regional sortie to the Bangsamoro region this month. He last flew to Cotabato on December 7 at the height of pursuit and manhunt operations against the BIFF attackers.       

He said, upon recommendation of PRO-BAR Regional Director, Police Brig Gen Samuel Rodriguez, the Board is looking into the highly commendable actions by personnel of the Datu Piang Municipal Police Station when they successfully defended the town and quelled a violent rampage by some 50 armed men belonging to a faction of the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighter (BIFF) movement.

During his first visit immediate following the incident, the Chief PNP noted the well-implemented Community Integrated Defense Plan (CIDP) that thwarted the attack and prevented an escalation of hostilities.

Bayaona and his men held their ground and defended protected the town's catholic church and school," Sinas said.

After being momentarily relieved from post to undergo stress debriefing, Bayaona has since reassumed post as Chief of Police.

Press Release
63 BARANGAY NG NORTH COTABATO OPISYAL NANG NASA ILALIM NA NANG PAMAMAHALA NG BARMM-MILG.

Cotabato City (December 15, 2020)
Suportado ni Cotabato Governor Nancy Catamco ang desisyon ng National Government na tuparin ang kahilingan ng Bangsa Moro Transition Authority (BTA) na ipaubaya na sa Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao o (BARMM) Ministry of Interior and Local Government (MILG) ang 63 Barangays ng Probinsya ng North Cotabato at ang Cotabato City.

Ang Kalihim ng Department of Interior and Local Government Eduardo Año ang nanguna sa turn over kanina. Kasama niya sina Department of National Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana, Police Major General Debold Sinas at ang bagong Philippine National Police Chief, Western Mindanao Commander Major General Corleto Vinluan Jr.. Dumalo rin bilang kinatawan ni North Cotabato Provincial  Governor Nancy Catamco si  Provincial Administrator Efren Piñol.

Ipinaliwanag ni Minister Mohagher Iqbal ng Ministry of Basic, Higher and Technical Education (MBHTE-BARMM), na ang aktibidad ay sumusunod sa probisyon ng pagpapatupad ng  Republic Act 11054 o ang Bangsamoro Organic Law (BOL).

Sa panig ni BARMM Executive Secretary AbdulRauf Macacua, ang desisyon ng mamamayan sa ginawang plebisito ay naghayag ng malaking kagustuhan sa pagbabago. "The majority of the votes casted favors the inclusion and a call to initiate change.", aniya.

Kasama rin ni Secretary Año si DILG 12 Regional Director Josephine Leysa, na kabilang sa naging testigo sa turn-over.
Nililinaw ng kalihim ng DILG na ang turn over ay naghuhudyat na ang katungkulan kaugnay sa promosyon at pagtiyak ng kahusayan, kapayapaan, proteksyon sa publiko, pagpapalakas ng kakakayanan ng lokal na pamahalaan ay nasa pamamahala na ng BARMM-MILG.

Binigyan diin pa ni Macacua, na hindi naging madali sa kanilang pamunuan ang maabot ang makasaysayang araw, subalit natupad ito at inaasahang mapahusay pa sa mga darating na henerasyon. "We must thank the leadership of President Duterte who made this turn-over possible," ayon pa sa Kalihim.

Pinuri at nagbigay pugay si Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana sa buong Kawani ng BARMM sa pamumuno ni BARMM Chief Minister Al-Hajj Murad Ebrahim, sa kinahinatnan ng pagkilos upang maisulong ang mithing pagbabago. Subalit, ayon kay Lorenzana, mas malaking hamon ang pagtutok sa paraan kung papaano ito ipapatupad, maging epektibo sa paghahatid ng serbisyo, at matiyak na matamasa ito ng mga mamamayan.

Una nang nagharap sina BARMM Administrator Board Member Mohammed Kelly Antao, LMT Chairman and Coordinator Jabib Guibar, at Governor Nancy Catamco upang mag-usap patungkol sa magiging direksyon ng transisyon at pamamahala ng 63 Barangays.

Hiniling ng pamunuan ni BM Antao sa Gobernador ang patuloy na suporta para sa mga Barangay habang inaasikaso pa ang struktura nito.

Sa panig ng Gobernador, sinabi nito na magpapatuloy ang Probinsya sa pagtulong. "Bukas ang aking tanggapan sa pangtanggap ng mga panukala at kahilingang proyekto ng mga barangay opisyal."

Hindi na magiging responsibilidad  ng DILG 12 ang pagtutok sa pagpapatakbo ng LGU's pati narin ang mga kapulisan rito ay magiging saklaw na ng pamumuno ng BARMM MILG. nilinaw naman ni 6ID  Commander, Maj.  General Juvymax Uy na ang mga kasundaluhan ay mananatiling nasa pamamahala ng National Government.

#OnThisDay December 16, 2010, the launching of the New Generation Banknotes for ₱20, ₱50, ₱100, ₱200, ₱500, and ₱1,000 bills, which bear the signature of President Benigno S. Aquino III. On December 16, 2016, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) launched banknotes bearing the signature of President Rodrigo Duterte.

The launching of the new Philippine Banknotes forms part of the New Generation Currency Series, a program of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas featuring new designs of Philippine banknotes for all denominations.

The new designs pay tribute to Filipinos who played significant roles at various moments in the nation's history. World heritage sites and iconic natural wonders that Filipinos can take pride of.

As a matter of practice, Central Banks around the world regularly change the designs of their currencies to guard against counterfeiters. In BSP's case, the redesign of the Philippine Currency not only updated its security features, but also changed its overall look to reflect the changing times in the country's history.

On March 26, 2018, the BSP released the New Generation Currency (NGC) Coin Series comprised of the 10-Piso, 5-Piso, 1-Piso, 25-Sentimo, 5-Sentimo and the 1-Sentimo into circulation.

These NGC coins feature three national heroes (Apolinario Mabini in the 10-Piso, Andres Bonifacio in the 5-Piso and Jose Rizal in the 1-Piso), a stylized three stars and a sun in the 25-, 5- and 1-Sentimo, the BSP logo, and endemic flora consistent with the design of the NGC Banknote Series that highlights Philippine fauna.

On December 17, 2019, the BSP released the new 20-Piso NGC coin and the enhanced 5-Piso NGC coin with nine sides which are the latest to be circulated under the BSP's NGC Coin Series. The bi-color 20-Piso coin retains major elements of the 20-piso banknote. The obverse side of the coin features Manuel L. Quezon, while the reverse side shows the BSP logo, the Malacañan Palace, and the Nilad plant.

The NGC Coin Series design features enhanced the aesthetics and security of the coins. In particular, micro-printed details using laser-engraving technology were included in the 20-Piso, 10-Piso and 5-Piso, which makes it difficult for these coins to be duplicated using traditional coin counterfeiting methods. The metallic composition of the NGC coins also discourages the illegal practice of hoarding large quantities of coins for the extraction of their metal content.

In 2020, the Enhanced NGC series all banknotes except for the ₱20 were updated with the following changes:

The addition of intaglio tactile markings for the visually impaired in the form of horizontal bands (all banknotes)
The addition of an improved windowed security thread for the ₱100, ₱200, ₱500, ₱1000 banknotes featuring indigenous weaving patterns.
For the ₱1000 note the thread size has been increased to 5 millimetres, with the rest remaining the same.
For the ₱500 and ₱1000, the denomination value has been embossed with optically variable ink wherein the color changes if the banknote is tilted.
A stylized Philippine Flag has also been added with optically variable ink on the ₱500 note.

WHY DID I DO THAT?

Heavenly Father,
Help me to continue to do the things I should be doing and call upon Your Name when sin begins to pull me away. Help me conquer this intense battle between my sinful nature and my new self. Keep me from sinful thoughts, thoughts I don't want to have, but thoughts I can't stop for I don't realize they're there until I've had them. This frustrates me to no end and leads me to cry out with Paul, "What a wretched man I am!" But thanks be to You, You won the victory over sin and death. By Your conquering death on the cross, You negated sin's power forgiving my sinful thoughts. Now, I pray, purge me of my sinful thoughts that my mind only entertains thoughts that are pleasing to You. In You Lord I have Victory....
In Jesus' Name I Pray....
AMEN

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. (Romans 7:15)

#OnThisDay December 15, 1875, Birth of Emilio Jacinto, also known as both the "Soul and the Brain of the Katipunan."

He was one of the highest-ranking officers in the Philippine Revolution and was one of the highest-ranking officers of the revolutionary society Kataas-taasan, Kagalang-galang [other historical accounts Kagalanggalangang Katipunan] na Katipunan ng mga Anak ng Bayan (English: "Supreme and Venerable Association of the Children of the Nation," Spanish: Suprema y Venerable Asociación de los Hijos del Pueblo), or simply and more popularly called Katipunan.

Born in Manila, Emilio Jacinto was proficient both in Spanish and Tagalog. He was an eloquent and brave young man. He attended San Juan de Letran College, and later transferred to the University of Santo Tomas to study law. He did not finish college and, at the age of 19, joined the secret society called Katipunan. He became the advisor on fiscal matters and secretary to Andrés Bonifacio.

One of Jacinto's greatest passions was reading books and his book collection consisted of how to make gunpowder and dynamite. One of his favourite books was about the French Revolution. He also learned a few things about the art of war, military strategies and ways of making weapons of war. Jacinto wrote for the Katipunan newspaper called Kalayaan. He also wrote in the newspaper under the pen name "Dimasilaw," and used the alias "Pingkian" in the Katipunan. Jacinto was the author of the Kartilya ng Katipunan as well. Jacinto's last position was as Commanding General of the Northern District of Manila, accordingly appointed by Bonifacio on April 15, 1897. On October 8, 1897, Jacinto wrote his masterpiece "A La Patria" (To My Fatherland) in Sta. Cruz, Laguna. The poem was inspired by Jose Rizal's "Mi Ultimo Adios."

After Bonifacio's execution, Jacinto pressed on with the Katipunan's struggle. He refused to join the forces of General Emilio Aguinaldo. Jacinto lived in Laguna and joined the militia fighting the Spaniards. Jacinto contracted malaria and died on April 16, 1899 in Brgy. Alipit, Santa Cruz, Laguna. His remains were initially buried in Brgy. San Juan Santa Cruz, Laguna. In the 1970s, Jacinto's remains were transferred and then enshrined at the Himlayang Pilipino Memorial Park in Quezon City, with a life-size bronze sculpture of a defiant Jacinto riding a horse during his days as a revolutionary.

As a tribute to his heroic deeds, Jacinto's likeness was featured on the old 20-peso bill that circulated from 1949 to 1969, and also on the old 20 centavo coin.

Burning desire and intelligent ignorance are crucial for success.

You might be wondering what motivates successful people to become overachievers. Sure, having a good attitude and positive self-image are important. But the most successful people embody the sixth and final step in our journey – a burning desire to excel.

In many cases, desire can give you the ability to win against the worst of odds. That's what happened to the American boxer Billy Miske. In 1923, after being hospitalized for kidney failure, Miske was diagnosed with Bright's disease. He knew that he had less than a year to live, and he felt compelled to provide his family with one last merry Christmas. 

Miske was broke, however. So in November of that year, he convinced his manager Jack Reddy to let him fight one last time.

Since Miske didn't have the physical strength to train, he had to stay at home until the big day. On that day, he traveled to Omaha, Nebraska, where he was to face Bill Brennan – a boxer who was past his prime but nevertheless a formidable opponent.

Against all odds, Miske beat Brennen in four rounds. Thanks to his burning desire to win, he was able to take home $2,400 for his family just weeks before his death. 

People like Miske are able to beat the odds and achieve remarkable feats because of what the author calls intelligent ignorance. These people have such a strong desire that they don't know what they can't achieve, and they find a way to succeed even in the most unlikely of situations. 

Of course, intelligent ignorance and desire don't guarantee success. But even if you fail to achieve your goal, when you put all of your efforts into an endeavor, you can face failure knowing that you gave it your all. Plus, your experience with maintaining a good attitude in spite of losing will improve your chances of success the next time.

What this shows is that desire is only one part of your road to success. If you don't have a positive self-image, healthy relationships, a good attitude, concrete goals, and a persistent work ethic, it will mean very little.

And while there might not be a shortcut to success, don't be discouraged. As you now know, you already have what it takes!

A persistent work ethic is a key ingredient for success.

Have you ever heard of a professional making a name for herself by rushing home as soon as the clock struck five every day? 

Probably not. Going above and beyond what they're expected to do is what distinguishes successful people from average ones. That's why the fifth step in our journey is to understand that success takes hard work.

Funnily enough, on the rare occasions where someone gets a big break without working for it, the joy of winning turns to painful disappointment. 

On September 4, 1994, John Stossel aired a program on ABC News about multimillion-dollar lottery winners. He found that one year after their lucky draw, most of these lottery winners were unhappier than people who had been paralyzed following a severe injury. 

In fact, one survey conducted about televised quiz show winners in the 1960s found that within seven years, those who had earned more than $75,000 from game shows were financially no better off than before their win.

As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you'll feed him for a day, but teach a man to fish and you'll feed him for a lifetime." Successful people know there's no free lunch if you want to make it to the top. Rather than expecting work to come to them or waiting for their big break, they apply their positive attitude and strive to excel in their professional life every day. 

So if you really want to make it big, prepare to work more than the normal 40-hour work week.

That doesn't necessarily mean you'll see results immediately. In fact, many people give up at the first sign of failure, before their careers can take off. What these people don't realize is that failure is an inevitable part of the journey to success. 

Just consider President Harry S. Truman, who experienced failures in both the oil business and the clothing business before making a name for himself in politics. After one failed endeavor, the future president even went broke. What Truman knew, however, was that if you bring a positive attitude and continue to work hard even when projects fail, you'll eventually be rewarded. 

It's easier said than done, but finding creative ways to turn your failures into successes could be the key to a career you haven't even imagined for yourself yet.

Avoid "stinkin' thinkin'" by adopting a positive attitude.

Even when you make the effort to reach your goals, life will often bring unexpected obstacles your way. While you can't stop these situations from arising, you can control your response to them. 

That brings us to the fourth step on the stairway to success: adopting a positive attitude. Unlike your self-image, which is about your view of yourself, your attitude is your approach to the rest of the world.

According to one Harvard University study, 85 percent of our accomplishments can be attributed to attitude, while only 15 percent is derived from technical expertise. Yet more often than not, people sabotage this 85 percent by engaging in unproductive thinking – or as the author calls it, stinkin' thinkin'. 

Stinkin' thinkin' is exactly the problem that the minor league baseball team in San Antonio, Texas was experiencing during a losing streak in the 1930s. Instead of working together, the players began to blame each other for their blunders. So after a particularly embarrassing loss against the weak-hitting Dallas team, San Antonio's manager Josh O'Reilly went about finding a solution.

O'Reilly told the players that he'd asked a faith healer named Slater to bless two of their bats so that they would win the pennant in the Texas League series. The idea inspired the team, which went on to score 22 runs and 37 hits in their next game before going on to win the pennant.

If you want a game-winning attitude, you don't need to wait for someone else to motivate you. All you have to do is start the day with a positive mentality. Instead of complaining about getting out of bed when you wake up in the morning, channel gratitude and excitement for the day ahead.

Unfortunately, we live in a negative society that is pervaded by a glass-half-empty mentality. But you can check in with the language you're using and choose positive words over negative ones – even if that means making them up. Next time you're waiting at an intersection while driving home from work, try referring to a "stop light" as a "go light." 

Even if you have to explain your new vocabulary to people, you'll find joy in these small positive changes and adopt a productive attitude that will feed into the rest of your life.

Set specific goals that can be broken down into daily increments.

Creating goals is a powerful tool for getting what you want out of life. Yet many people fail to harness it, usually because of how they go about it. Setting goals – step number three on your road to success – demands hard work and concentration. Here's how you do it.

The first thing you have to do is be as specific as possible. Vague or arbitrary goals such as simply wanting to lose weight or earn a lot of money rarely materialize. This is why you need to quantify your goals: How much weight do you want to lose? How much money do you want to make?

Second on the list is to give yourself a timeline long enough to take inevitable obstacles into account. Say you give yourself a year – rather than two months – to earn one million dollars. With the right mindset, you could manage to achieve this even after facing a major setback such as an illness.

With these two caveats in mind, start writing down your goals. Consider your financial and career aspirations as well as your physical, mental, spiritual, personal, and family goals. Ideally, you should strive to achieve a goal in each category of your life so that you'll feel balanced. But if you're new to goal-setting, starting with just one is fine.

In order to reach your goals, break them down into actionable increments that you can execute on a daily basis. This helped the author when he realized that he wanted to slim down his 202-pound figure. The author decided that he wanted to be 165 pounds within the next ten months. In fact, he even wrote this number in a book of his, due to be published in ten months' time, to add an extra incentive.

As soon as the author decided that he wanted to lose weight, he started going out for a run at the sound of his alarm clock every morning. Each day, he ran a little further, starting with a block and incrementally working his way up to five miles. He later added in some calisthenics, and soon, the results became apparent. 

On average, the author lost just 1.9 ounces a day. But after ten months, he had lost a whopping 37 pounds! And since he carried out the goal over a long period of time, he developed healthy habits and was thereby able to maintain the weight loss for good.

Improve your relationships by looking for the good in others – including your spouse.

So helping others is crucial to boosting your self-image. But what about the people you care for the most? The second step on your journey to success is improving your relationships.

According to the author, you can achieve anything you want if you make the time and effort to help others. That begins with how you perceive and treat the people around you.

Whether they realize it or not, most people treat others according to how they see them. And in some cases, your behavior toward a person could deeply impact their future. 

In an experiment led by Dr. Robert Rosenthal at Harvard University, two groups of students were assigned to two separate teachers. The first teacher was told that their group came from average backgrounds and had average levels of intelligence. The second teacher was told that their group consisted of geniuses. As it turns out, both groups of students were actually average students. But at the end of the year, the students that were treated like geniuses were an entire school year ahead of the other group.

As with most things in life, when it comes to relationships, you reap what you sow. Since you should treat people the way you want to be treated, the best approach to developing relationships is to look for the good in others.

Ironically, many people treat strangers politely while still making abrupt and hurtful comments in one of their most important relationships – their marriage. But with a simple change in mindset, it's easier than you might think to keep this relationship thriving. 

Think of it as courting your husband or wife even though you're already married. By applying the mindset you had when you were dating your spouse, you'll have an easier time remembering the reason why you married them in the first place. 

But there are also plenty of practical things you can do to strengthen your marriage. Try starting each day by reminding your spouse of your love for them. You can also surprise them by calling them in the middle of the day for a few minutes – if their schedule permits – or by sending a love letter. He or she will appreciate the gesture, especially if it's unexpected!

Dressing up and helping others both improve your self-image.

Have you ever suffered from a negative self-image? If so, the good news is that there are a number of methods to improve it. 

Remember that your self-image starts and ends with you. Other people can't make you feel bad about yourself unless you allow them to.

It might not be obvious, but if you take the time to consider it, you'll realize how special you are. After all, there's only one you! And whether you feel his presence or not, God has a plan for everyone.

But no one can deny that appearance has a massive influence on our self-image. So one practical place to start improving your self-image is by enhancing your appearance.

Whether you're a man or a woman, a new haircut or outfit can work wonders for how you view yourself; just think about how women look when they leave a beauty salon. Armed with a new haircut or makeup,  women get a confidence boost that's immediately apparent in the way they hold themselves. And while men might not like to admit it, wearing a new suit has the same effect.

But improving your self-image isn't only about taking better care of yourself – it's also about how you care for others. Spending time helping people who need it creates an immediate sense of satisfaction and can serve as a reminder to feel gratitude. This, in turn, improves the way you see yourself. You can experience this by volunteering for the Red Cross, visiting someone with a disability or illness, or simply helping children cross the road. 

If you need some extra inspiration, try reading biographies or autobiographies of successful people who contributed to other people's wellbeing. Learning about Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, or Booker T. Washington is a great way to inspire you to find success by being altruistic.

You might also try reading or listening to works by motivational speakers or preachers such as Mamie McCullough or John Maxwell – both of whom have dedicated their lives to inspiring the best in other people. 

The author has firsthand experience of the power of looking to others' stories for inspiration. During a particularly rough period while he was a struggling salesman, he read The Power of Positive Thinking by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. This book helped him see that it was up to him to improve his situation. Later, he dedicated his life to helping others accept themselves in their own journeys toward success.

A poor self-image leads to self-defeating behavior. 

So you've decided it's time to change your ways and start aiming for the top. Where do you begin?

The first step on the ladder to success is to evaluate your self-image – that is, how you view yourself. Self-image is a crucial building block for success because it determines how you perform.

For many people, self-image issues can be traced back to childhood. Let's say your son accidentally drops a plate; without thinking, you tell him he's the clumsiest boy you've ever seen. You might not intend for your comment to be destructive, but for many children, offhand remarks like this can lead to an inferiority complex. When parents, teachers, or friends imply that a child is inept, that child might come to believe that he doesn't deserve good things in life, such as love or success.

On the other hand, imagine how you'd feel if you received a phone call from someone who simply wanted to tell you how great you are. Whether you're a doctor, a student, or an athlete, this kind of boost to your confidence would likely make you perform better. In fact, the link between a positive self-image and high performance has a proven track record – in elite sports, athletes often visualize themselves succeeding in order to achieve real-life success. Top golfers, for example, "see" themselves sinking their ball into the cup before they even tee up. 

But developing a positive self-image can be hard. This is especially true for children, who not only face criticism from parents and teachers but also feel the weight of society's emphasis on appearance. Multiple surveys have found that over 95 percent of young Americans would opt to change some aspect of their physical appearance. Later in life, this dissatisfaction often leads to an unhealthy obsession with material possessions and body image. 

Having a negative view of yourself also informs your behavior in your professional life. 

Imagine a salesman with a negative self-image. He lives in constant fear of rejection, and this mindset causes him to be a people pleaser. This doesn't just undermine his ability to make sales – his need to be accepted by his teammates also stops him from adopting the leadership skills that would enable him to rise into management. 

Unless he finds a way to alter his self-image, the salesman will never be able to envision success for himself on either a personal or professional level.

Press Release
KORONADAL CITY, Philippines — Officials of the Department of Labor and Employment-12 turned over Friday its field office in Cotabato City to the Bangsamoro government.

The Ministry of Labor and Employment-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao shall now oversee the operation of DOLE-12's field office in Cotabato City, capital of the now 23-month BARMM.

The DOLE-12 also entrusted to MOLE-BARMM its operation in 63 barangays in different towns in North Cotabato in Region 12 whose residents voted in favor of the inclusion of their communities under BARMM's coverage during the plebiscite last year for the ratification of its charter, the Republic Act 11054.

The RA 11054 is also known as the Bangsamoro Organic Law, premised on two compacts between the government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front --- the 2012 Framework Agreement on Bangsamoro and, subsequently, the 2014 Comprehensive Agreement on Bangsamoro.

Friday's turnover event at a function facility here was facilitated by BARMM's Labor Minister Romeo Sema and DOLE-12's regional director, Raymundo Agravante.

The activity was witnessed by other key officials of DOLE-12 and representatives from the Bangsamoro government.

Agravante said prior dialogues between them and the group of Sema were initiated as part of the preparations for the takeover of their operations in Cotabato City by MOLE-BARMM.

"I have no doubt the Bangsamoro government can oversee efficiently our field office in Cotabato City," Agravante said in a message during the turnover program.

Sema said he is thankful to Agravante and other officials of DOLE-12 for doing their best to hasten the transfer of control and supervision of their field office in Cotabato City.

The regional capitol of the Bangsamoro region is located in Cotabato City.

"It must be emphasized that the transfer of the powers and functions of the DOLE XII and its attached agencies to MOLE is not the end of our working relationship but a beginning of a more cohesive and stronger collaborative partnership," Sema said.

The BARMM, which replaced the 29-year Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao last year, covers the provinces of Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi and the cities of Lamitan, Marawi and Cotabato.

MOLE-BARMM is also to assume the operation of DOLE outfits in other parts of the Bangsamoro region.

Prayer Of Deep Repentance

Dear Lord Jesus,
You alone are worthy to be praised for You have created us by Your mighty power, redeemed us by Your precious blood, and You hold all things together. Lord, I know that I have sinned against You and have acted in rebellious and wicked ways, by turning away from Your commandments and ignoring the truths that are contained throughout the Scripture for my instruction, training in righteousness and well-being. I have not listened to Your Word and have turned aside from Your voice. I have ignored Your many calls to holiness and I stand before You poor and wretched, naked and ashamed. Lord God, according to Your grace and mercy, I ask for Your forgiveness. Keep Your promise to me, Your child I pray, and wash away my many sins. Help me to put the past behind me and enable me to walk into the future with a desire to do Your will and to live godly in Christ Jesus. Thank You, Lord, that Your mercies are new every morning. Thank You that even though I have been so faithless towards You, You have remained faithful towards me. Cleanse my heart from within I pray, and renew a right spirit within me. May I walk in holiness and righteousness from this day forward.
Thank You Lord. I love You Lord.
In Jesus' Name I Pray....
AMEN

Now repent of your sins and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped away.
(Acts 3:19)

From then on Jesus began to preach, "Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near."
(Matthew 4:17)

The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.
(2 Peter 3:9)

No indeed! And I tell you that if you do not turn from your sins, you will all die as they did.
(Luke 13:3)

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
(1 John 1:9)

Dr. Bigot disclosed that the ASF virus cannot infect fowls as per tests conducted by experts that is why the consuming public of such meat products have nothing to worry about this holiday season.

News Release
The Big Heart of the CPNP

With his build, he is relatively a big man, but it is the BIG HEART of the PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas that makes him known and admired in the police organization.

The latest of Chief, PNP"s random acts of kindness and compassion was when he unceremoniously visited some patients at the PNP General Hospital last December 12, 2020.

PGen Sinas was warmly welcomed by officials and staff of the Health Service headed by its Director, Police Brigadier Director Nolasco K. Bathan.

PGen Sinas comforted, exchanged pleasantries, and gave cash gift/financial assistance to police patients, including some dependents, in confinement at the different wards of the tertiary hospital of the PNP.  He also inspected the following HS facilities: Physical Medical and Rehabilitation Service; Supply Section; and PNPHS Multi-Purpose Hall. Capping his first PNPGH visit as Chief, PNP was presiding a conference with the key HS officers and staff.

Of course, the CPNP's Saturday surprise visit to PNPGH wards brought overwhelming smiles and warmth to the patients and hospital staff, which has once again demonstrated the usual caring and fatherly traits of our Chief, PNP.

This may not be surprising though to his aides, for hospital visitations to see the wounded and sick personnel and their dependents have been a way of life for the Chief PNP even before his appointment as the Top Cop. His sterling leadership qualities have, in fact, endeared him to the countless men and women in the PNP whose lives he had touched. Yes, they speak volumes of the narrative about him as a police officer. He may be so strict at work, but beyond the man's unquestionable passion and dedication in the service is a big heart of a compassionate, generous, and loving guy that everyone will fully admire.

It was indeed a short but meaningful visit for the 25th CPNP sharing his time and his big heart with the patients at the PNP General Hospital.

Press Release COMMUNIST DECEPTION STARTS IN SCHOOLS

The radicalization of youth is the first step towards recruitment in the terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF. A bastion of idealist minds, schools are conducive sources of new cadres for the communist terrorist group.

Recruiters of CPP-NPA-NDF cloaked as legal organization posing as supporters of progress for the various sectors of the society see the schools as sources of new blood to replenish the communist line of power.

From the schools emanate young street parliamentarians who cry the idealist call for social justice.

From the schools, we see the birth of young people bearing the red communist insignias.

From schools, the youth set out their foot and explore the communist life through the immersions posing as legitimate development activities in the countryside.

From the schools, we see how critical thinking could be tweaked by ill motives of communism through the left-leaning organizations wicked deception.

The radicalization of youth in schools has become the portal of their doom, of lost lives, unrealized dreams, family woes and social distress.

We lost many great minds, youth who devoted their selves into the armed struggle. Young individuals who should have become sources of national pride, supporting our nation's aim for progress.

How many more should fell into the terrorist's deception?

Let us condemn the youth radicalization in schools. Do not support left-leaning organizations. Protect our children against the deception of the terrorist CPP-NPA-NDF.

Press Release
PNP, PDEA, AFP, NICA OPS NET P54-M OF SHABU

A quad-agency anti-illegal drugs operation yielded some P54-million worth of crystal Methamphetamine or Shabu yesterday in Muntinlupa City.

Two suspected major players of a drug distribution network were arrested by a composite team of PNP, PDEA, ISAFP and NICA in an inter-agency collaborative effort to implement the flagship national campaign against illegal drugs.

"Our anti-illegal drugs campaign has resulted even more in this kind of accomplishment because of the cooperation between and among our law enforcement agencies which serves as a stern warning to drug dealers," Sinas said

Arrested in a drug buy-bust operation at 5:00PM yesterday in front of a fastfood outlet in Tunasan, Muntinlupa City were  RENZY LOUISE JAVIER VIZCARRA and RED LEWY JAVIER VIZCARRA.

Operatives confiscated from them eight ( kilograms of Shabu, three mobile phones, a Toyota Innova and the boodle money used by agents in the entrapment.

A similar inter-agency effort by the NAIA Inter-agency Drug Interdiction Task Group last Wednesday foiled an attempt to ship Shabu thru air parcel service.

"There will be no letup. The PNP, PDEA and other agencies have strong resolve to carry out the President's instruction to rid our country of illegal drugs," said Sinas. - (PNP-PIO)

This toolkit provides a compendium of resources for Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) stakeholders to navigate each phase of the TOD process: Assessing, Enabling, Planning and Design, Financing, and Implementing. It includes how-to guides, analytical tools, communication tools, resources, case studies and template terms of reference for each phase. The latest addition fully embeds road safety consideration at all steps of the process. Transit-oriented development, commonly known as TOD, is a planning and design strategy that focuses on creating urban development patterns which facilitate the use of public transit, walking and cycling, as primary modes of transport and which supports vibrant, diverse and livable communities.

This is achieved by concentrating urban densities, communities and activities within a 5-10 minute walking distance from mass rapid transit stations (both bus and rail-based), developing quality urban space and providing convenient and efficient access to a diverse mix of land uses. TOD brings together elements of land use and transport planning, urban design, urban regeneration, real estate development, financing, land value capture, and infrastructure implementation to achieve more sustainable urban development.

Since TOD implementation can be complex, it is essential that cities understand the dynamics at play related to all city systems- real estate economics, transit routing, infrastructure design, land use planning and zoning, the development of the local economy through urban regeneration, and urban design- to achieve the concept's full potential. TOD, as a tool, enables city actors to negotiate through varying urban priorities to ultimately prioritize inclusion and resilience in an optimized environment. The World Bank considers these priorities as the bedrock of successful TODs.

Press Release: POLICE CAPTURE ABU SAYYAF SUB-LEADER IN BASILAN

Police intelligence operatives backed by police commandos captured this morning another Abu Sayyaf sub-leader wanted for the murder of a Barangay official six years ago.

PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas, citing reports from PNP Special Action Force Director, Police Major General Bernabe Balba and PNP Intelligence Group Acting Director, Police Colonel Warren De Leon, announced the capture of HADJI FAISAL ABDULKARIM, during a Counter Terrorism Operation launched by PNP-IG and PNP-SAF in  Barangay Matata, Ungkaya Pukan, Basilan at 2:00AM today.

Sinas said the latest operation is part of ongoing intensified legal offensive initiatives against local terrorist personalities wanted by the Court.

He commended the PNP Units involved in the operation for this major accomplishment in implementing the national campaign against terrorism and criminality.

"Despite the risks involved, the arresting team accomplished the mission, put away a dangerous criminal, kept the community safe, and made the PNP proud" he said.   

PNP records identified Abdulkarim as sub-leader of the ASG-Dawlah Islamiyah Basilan Group operating under ASG leader Radzmil Jannatul, who succeeded deceased Basilan ASG Leader Furuji Indama.

Abdulkarim is the subject of two separate Warrants of Arrest both issued by Hon. Danilo M. Bucoy, Presiding Judge of RTC Branch 2 of Isabela City, Basilan for the crimes of Murder and Multiple Arson.

He is primary suspect in the murder of Barangay Chairman Naber Usani in 2014, and the attack and burning of several houses in Brgy Bulo-Bulo, Sumisip, Basilan in 2004.

The raiding team confiscated three assault rifles, an M203 grenade launcher and live rounds of 40mm grenade ammunition from the Abdulkarim.

Sinas said, Abdulakrim is known to harbor wounded ASG fighters from Sulu in his makeshift medical station in Basilan, where arresting operatives also found assorted medical supplies.

"We are subjecting mobile phone recovered from him to digital forensic examination to determine his links with other known terrorist personalities and possible foreign fund sources," the Chief PNP said,

Press Release AFP: NO CEASEFIRE, NO PEACETALKS THIS CHRISTMAS

Inihayag ng pamahalaan na walang tigil putukan o usapang pangkapayapaan na magaganap ngayong kapaskuhan para sa CPP-NPA-NDF.

Sa gayon, tuloy tuloy ang opensiba at malawakang operasyon ng pamahalaan sa pagtugis sa mga rebeldeng NPA. Dati ang pasko ay nagsisilbing pahinga sa gyera kontra komunismo, ngunit sa adhikain ng gobyerno na wakasan ang karahasang dulot ng NPA sa lalong madaling panahon, idineklara ng estado na walang magaganap na tigil putukan ngayong pasko o usapang pangkapayapaan sa loob ng termino ni Pangulong Duterte.

Ibig sabihin, ang pasko ng bawat rebeldeng NPA ay mas magiging mahirap sa pinaigting na laban ng gobyerno kontra terorismo.

Ang pasko ay panahon na dapat ay ipinagdidiwang kasama ang pamilya. Habang may panahon pa, bumaba ka na. Isuko ang armas at ipagdiwang ang pasko kasama ang iyong pamilya.

Press Release from Camp Crame
DISMISSED COP NABBED FOR EXTORTION

A dismissed policeman engaged in extortion activities victimizing fish traders at the Navotas Fishport was wounded and arrested in an entrapment operation launched by the operatives of the PNP Maritime Group.

Don De Quiroz Osias, 39, formerly a PNP member assigned in NCRPO was shot in the leg by arresting police officers of the Regional Maritime Unit-NCR that conducted the entrapment operations at 8:30 PM last December 4, 2020 along Bañera St., Navotas Fish Port Complex, Barangay North Bay Boulevard South, Navotas City.

"Under the PNP internal cleansing program, any report of irregularity and misconduct by police personnel wil be dealt with swiftly and decisively, no matter who is involved," PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas emphasized.

Reports from Maritime Group Director Police Brig Gen Omega Jireh Fidel said Osias, who was misrepresenting himself as a member of the PNP Maritime Group, has been the subject of complaints from four drivers of fish delivery trucks at the fishport for alleged extortion activities.

Acting on these complaints, Fidel said operatives of RMU-NCR under Police Colonel Ricardo E Villanueva fielded undercover operatives disguised as truck helpers to entrap the suspect.

Undercover operatives pounced on Osias after receiving the marked money. He initially resisted and was subdued with a shot to the leg when gestured to be reaching for something from his waistband, the report said.

"I commend the police operatives for these risk-taking efforts just to run after anyone who tries to besmirch the gains of many good cops and our agency at large", Sinas said.
Cases for Robbery/Extortion, Direct Assault, Resisting Arrest and Usurpation of Authority were filed against Osias before the City Prosecutor's Office of Navotas City.

How Did Jesus Christ Die?

For the next 60 seconds, put aside whatever you are doing and take advantage of this opportunity.

Don't let Satan stop you.

At the age of 33, Jesus was sentenced to death.

At the time of The Crucifixion, it was the "worst" death.
Only the worst criminals were sentenced to be crucified. However, it was even more terrible for Jesus, unlike other criminals sentenced to death by crucifixion, Jesus would be nailed on the Cross by his hands and feet.

Each nail: Was 6 to 8 inches long.

The nails were built into his wrist,
Not on his palms as is commonly depicted.
There is a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. Roman guards knew
that, when the nails were being inserted into the wrist, the tendon would tear and break,
forcing Jesus to use his ribs for support so he could breathe.

His two feet, They were inserted together, that's how he was forced to
lean on the only nail that tied his feet to the cross.
Jesus could not support himself with his legs because of the pain.
So he was forced to alternate arching his back.
He wore out his legs just to continue breathing. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, the courage that endured it.

Jesus endured that reality for more than 3 hours.

Yes, more than 3 hours!

Can you imagine this kind of
Suffering? A few minutes before he died, Jesus stopped bleeding, water just flowed from his wounds.

From common images we see wounds on his hands and feet and even the spear wound at his side ...
But we find out that his wounds were actually made all over his body by a mallet driving large ones through the wrist, the feet overlapping and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing his side. with a spear. But before the nails and the spear, Jesus was whipped and because the lashes were so severe they tore
Flesh off his body, the beating so horrible he received on his face that it was ripped off and his beard ripped from his face.
The crown of thorns embedded deep into his scalp. Most men
would not have survived this torture.

He had no more blood
To bleed, only the water gushed out if their wounds
The adult human body contains about 4.5 liters (a little over a gallon) of blood.

Jesus shed all 4.5 liters of his blood; had three nails inserted into its
members; a crown of thorns on his head and, in addition, a Roman soldier buried a spear in his chest.

All this not to mention the humiliation he suffered after carrying the cross for almost 2 km, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones at him (the cross was almost 30 kg in weight,
Only for its highest part, where your hands were.

Jesus had to endure this experience, to open the Gates of heaven, so that you can have
Access to God.

So that your sins
May be "washed" and carried away. All of them, without exception!
Don't ignore this situation.

Jesus Christ died for you!

He died for you! It's easy to pass jokes or silly photos via social media, but
When it comes to God, sometimes you feel ashamed to pass on to others because you care about what they might think about you.

God has plans for you, show all your friends what you've tried.
God bless you!
He said (Matthew 10, 32 and 33): "Therefore, whoever recognizes me to others, I will also recognize him.
In front of my father in heaven; but whoever denies me before others, I will deny before my father in heaven. "

Confess Jesus as your only and sufficient Savior The Bible says: "The word is with you, in your mouth and in your heart; this is the word of faith, what to preach, namely: If with your mouth you confess the Lord Jesus, and in your heart you believe that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the father except through me."

Press Release from Camp Crame
SINAS: PRESS MANHUNT VS. WANTED CPP-NPA MEMBERS 

Police units were instructed anew to "intensify implementation of court processes with particular emphasis on Warrants of Arrest against CPP-NPA-NDF personalities wanted by the law for criminal cases."

PNP Chief, Police General Debold M Sinas,  cascaded these instructions to Police Regional Offices and National Operational Support Units in support of Executive Order No. 70 creating the National Task Force  to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC)

The orders came amid recent developments in the campaign against Wanted Persons that led to an armed encounter in Surigao del Sur.

Reports reaching the PNP Command Center in Camp Crame from Police Brigadier General Romeo Caramat Jr., PNP Regional Director in the Caraga Region, disclosed the death of ALVIN LUQUE alias Joaquin Jacinto,/ Joaquin Cordero, and an unidentified male companion during a police operation at 1:15 AM on December 10,2020 at Hermenia's Resort, Brgy. San Agustin Sur, Tandag City, Surigao del Sur.

Caramat said what was supposed to be a routine police operation to serve a Warrant of Arrest turned awry when the suspects opened fire at arresting officers leading to a shootout.   

"The PNP leadership has made it a point for our units to give premium on our law enforcement functions, in our drive to run after wanted criminals and other lawless elements, despite the risks in the lives of our policemen while arresting these bandits pestering  our society", Sinas said as he commended the operatives involved in the encounter.

Luque is the subject of four (4) separate Warrants of Arrest issued by four Regional Trial Court branches in Agusan del Sur and Agusan del Norte for the crime of Kidnapping with Serious Illegal Detention, Attempted Murder, and violation of the Expanded Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of 2012, Caramat said.

A DND-DILG Joint Order offered P6-million for information leading to the arrest of Luque who is NDF Mindanao Spokesperson and member of the Executive Committee of Komisyon Mindanao (KOMMID) of the CPP-NPA-NDF.

Scene of Crime Operations (SOCO) forensic examiners recovered from the scene of encounter a cal.45 Remington pistol. A fragmentation grenade, a 40mm high-explosive ammunition, 500 rounds of AK-47 ammunition, IED firing mechanism with 15 meters of electric wire, blasting cap, battery CPP-NPA-NDF flags, and ssorted subversive documents.
