Any doubts entertained on whether we have moved into a new age, or at least climbed a new step on its ladder, would be put to rest by the fact that the game of chess is now played by machines which can better any human on a given day. What some upto the 80s considered even impossible has been put into practice, and if reports are true, no man can beat the best rated machines playing this mind game today.
That Kasparov, the greatest chess player ever, was beaten by a game or two in a return match, could be doubted as part of some marketing gimmick that did not go beyond exhibition matches. Yet, re-playing that second or third game where he lost in the end game shows it was really an oversight on his part, a lack of calculation, where the machine saw further; it rattled Kasparov to an extent that he demanded being shown printouts of the game to prove that the machine actually performed certain calculations to reach the decisive moves. The final game saw him falling to an opening trap that, as V Anand said, used to be a part of his own opening preparations for other players! It is simply unbelievable. Can machines really beat good chess players? They can and do beat amateurs.
Chess was supposed to be a game that only humans, intelligent creatures, could play. It was a tacit belief that the ability to play chess was a sign of intelligence. It required judgment - evaluating a series of positions in order to select moves that led to victory. Only humans could intuitively guess the winning moves. Calculations were involved, but it was their outcome that mattered in the end, such that even major pieces could be given up in order to attain winning positions. Only humans could evaluate outcomes as favourable or avoidable. These were probably the arguments we heard against chess playing machines.
This writer lost several games to a GNU chess engine, but won a game in which he sacrificed three major pieces for the computer's queen to reach an end game where, on an almost empty board, his queen turned out to be more powerful than the three extra pieces the machine had. The machine was obviously not programmed to value a queen in the end game on an almost empty board as holding more points or values than three major pieces.
Seen in a truer picture, when you play chess against a machine, you are actually pitted against those hundreds of programmers who spent thousands of hours programming the machine, and not against a thinking device. The real thinking process went inside the programmers at the time of creating the programme.
Whether humans win or machines, as far as the game of chess is considered, it has entered its new age. The barrier of the impossible has been breached. It's really a victory for the human mind and
ingenuity, a victory for its reasoning, and a medal for the diligent hard work, built upon the works of others, that today we have machines that can beat humans in their own game.

I play chess just about every day. Whether with my handheld computer chess game or online with people from all over the world. I have beat the computer once or twice but I believe that the computer is what teaches you to think! Of course a machine can't think. It just plays what it was programmed to play so if you think around that program you can't check-mate it. Computers make chess players better at their game. It is a tool and they especially come in handy when you can't find someone to sit and play with you. Computers are always standing by. Thank God for computers and what they do for us..and definitely for chess...great thoughts and insights...

Front-ending with Apache also allows you to scale up by running multiple Tomcat iterations for different services.

Orsat Crijevic, a Dubrovnik envoy at the Court in Madrid, announced that the previous year many Dubrovnik citizens had been to the West Indies (America). The Spanish King, Philip III, reaffirmed all Dubrovnik's old privileges given by Spanish Kings in the 15th and 16th centuries.
In Pesaro (Italy) Dubrovnik-born Mavro Orbini published his book The History of the Slavic Peoples ("Regno degli Slavi").
On the island of Lastovo a rebellion broke out against the Dubrovnik Government because of restrictions imposed on the island's autonomy. The rebellion was encouraged by the Venetians. However, Dubrovnik subdued the uprising and reasserted its authority on the island.
The Jesuit Bartol Kasic wrote the first grammar of the Croatian language, Institutiones linguae illyricae.
According to the records of the Dubrovnik historian Jakov Lukarevic, Dubrovnik merchants traded in the Portuguese port Goa (West Indies).
Miho Pracat, ship-owner and merchant from the island of Lopud, died. His immense fortune was left to the town's charities. In the year 1633 the Republic erected a bronze bust in his memory in the courtyard of the Duke's Palace. He was the only citizen of Dubrovnik, and a commoner at that, to whom a monument was erected.
Dinko Ranjina, a poet born in 1536, who wrote Pjesni razlike, died.
Vice Bune, (born 1559) died. He had served the Spanish Kings Philip II and Philip III.
According to unconfirmed reports he had been the King's Governor in Mexico.
The philosopher and scholar Niksa Gucetic (born 1549) died. In his works he expressed the aspirations of Renaissance Europe.
The poet Dominko Zlataric died. He was known for his statement: "Illyria is my country, Dalmatia my home, Slavonia my kin, and Croatia my family".
Historian Jakov Lukarevic (Luccari), born in 1551, died. Major work "Copiso ristretti degli annali di Ragusa".
Marin Getaldic, mathematician and astronomer (born 1568), died. He was well known for his works on mathematical analysis and construction De resolutione et compositione mathematica(published after his death in 1630).
One of the greatest Croatian authors of the 17th century (born 1589) Ivan (Djivo) Gundulic, died. (Osman, Dubravka etc.).
Dzono Palmotic, the author of melodramas and the drama Pavlimir (born 1607), died.
Dzivo Bunic, born 1591, died. A writer of anacreontic poetry and the poem Mandaljena pokornica (Repentant Magdalene).
The Jesuits took over the administration of the Dubrovnik Grammar School and began other activities.
For the first time the government allowed some commoner families of Dubrovnik or noble foreigners to enter the ranks of the Dubrovnik nobiles which were dying out.
Vladislav Mencetic (born in 1617) died. Composed Trublja Slovinska (The Slav Fanfare), which he dedicated to Croatian Ban Petar Zrinski.
A terrible earthquake demolished Dubrovnik. What was not flattened by the earthquake was consumed by fire.
Over 4,000 citizens were left under the ruins. Between 2,000 and 3,000 people survived. Buildings, manuscripts, objects of art and other priceless material and cultural articles perished.
Dubrovnik recovered thanks to the trade which was still carried on by the ships anchored in foreign ports and the generosity of people from Dubrovnik all over the world, who organised help for the stricken town.
Due to the fact that a number of aristocrats were killed and their family names died with them, the Great Council accepted amongst its aristocracy 10 of the town's families, mainly from the Antunini Fraternity. In the year 1673 another five families were accepted amongst the aristocracy.
During the War over Crete Dubrovnik succeeded in diverting trade from Split to their own town.
Nikolica Bunic, son of the poet Dzivo Bunic, preferred to die in the Turkish dungeons rather than sign an agreement which would have been harmful to his town.
An inscription was put up by the Dubrovnik people, the only public recognition ever made to one of their aristocrats.
After the catastrophic earthquake Dubrovnik re-established trade with Turkey.
Jaketa Palmotic (born 1623), poet (Dubrovnik ponovljen) and diplomat, died. He became famous for saving the interests of his town after the threats made by Turkey following the earthquake.
Stjepan Gradic (born 1613) died. Polyhistorian and poet Latinist, Envoy-Executive for the Dubrovnik Republic in Rome, Chief Librarian of the Vatican Library. After the earthquake in 1667 he organised help in Europe for his devastated town.
The "Long War" was in process. Venice captured a part of Dubrovnik's inland area and approached its borders. They presented the threat of completely surrounding and cutting off Dubrovnik's trade inland. In view of this danger, expecting the defeat of the Turks by Vienna in 1684 and hoping that the Austrian Army would capture Bosnia and Hercegovina, Dubrovnik sent emissaries to the Austrian Emperor, Leopold, in Vienna.
In 1684 the emissaries renewed an agreement contracted in Visegrad in the year 1358 and accepted the sovereignty of the Austrian Emperor over Dubrovnik as a Croatian-Hungarian King, with an annual tax of 500 ducats. At the same time Dubrovnik continued to recognise the sovereignty of Turkey; which was nothing unusual in those days. After this even greater opportunities opened up for Dubrovnik ships in ports all along the Croatian coast, in which they anchored frequently.
The first permanent diplomatic representative for Dubrovnik was installed in Rome.
Dubrovnik opened a Consulate in Rijeka and the first Consul appointed was Petar Svilokos.
"Akademija ispraznijeh" was founded, along the same lines as the Rome Arcadia, where Dubrovnik's literati gathered.
Armistice at Srijemski Karlovci. As one of the victors, Venice wanted to keep the captured territory around Dubrovnik's borders so as to cut off and destroy Dubrovnik's trade. Dubrovnik's diplomacy succeeded in separating their own and the Venetian territories on the eastern coast of the Adriatic with the arrangement that Turkey had a route to the sea via Neum and Sutorina. In this way the citizens of Dubrovnik avoided having a common border with Venice. Later attempts by Venice to change the border were unsuccessful.

There are two trails (Mabentangen and Balisungan)
I tried Balisungan, which is moderate to strenuous, it is a mix of jungle, small waterfalls and tundra.
Wear hiking pants to avoid your skin getting hurt from ( sturdy plant branches, thorns, vines, sharp leaves, insects, sharp rocks etc ... )
Use hiking boots to protect your ankles, as the entire trail...
A very steep climb, 100's of steps, a good way to walk off all the food and San Migual's! Don't forget to take water on the long walk. At the top you are rewarded with a stunning view over the whole of Coron and the neighbouring islands.
We were lucky and had the climb and view all to ourselves. Worth...
This activity is really good if you want to do some exercise after taking good culinary experience in Coron! Time to burn some fats... :) Doing this one is really cool together with friends. The view from the top of the mountain is an absolute breath-taking!
After climbing more than 700 stairs to get to the top, the view is amazing. Don't forget to bring some water. It gets a bit overcrowded at sunset. But I think it is still a good time to go since the weather is cooler and the sunset is beautiful. Advice: bring a towel to sit on the grass to watch...
It wasn't easy to find the beginning of path (starts next to small cementery if your going from south), but after it it was nice. The wind near the top is so refreshing and views during sunset were awesome. Probably you wont meet anybody during a trip. The path is steep but well maintained (compare to other treks in Phillipines)....
Excellent daytrip. Ask around from local mopedtaxis and they take you to the beginning of the trail. Uphill trekking, requires some hard work, but some sweat is totally worth the view as you reach the summit. Takes 2h15min to go up and about 3h to get down from a different route.
We take 3 to 4 hours to go there a lot rest so not get tired. It is really worth it when you reach it. You gonna need a lot water of course coz it is thirsty but you in the middle its have water you can get just follow down the black pipe so u can find it. We...
You have to hike for 2 to 3 hours before you reach the highest peak of Mt. Darala. View from the peak is really amazing! Hiking for hours is really worth it!
There is 3 ways to hike the Mt. Darala/Mt.Dalara.
The MABINTANGEN is long way and according to them is the safest path.
The BACK of CCFT is a 2 hours hike or less with a rock/wall climbing.
The BALISUNGAN, the enchanted way.
Don't forget to bring lots of water and extra t-shirt.
if you have a knowledge in rock/wall climbing,...
You will need a guide for this one as the start of the track isnt easy to find.
Once on route its a steep assent in places on broken rocky and gravel ground (i.e. you're likely to slip at least once on the way down so gloves might be good to take).
We took it easy on the way up...
