text: We recently decided to park the Expedition (only used for pulling the trailer when necessary now) and get my wife a small car. She insisted on something sporty since she likes to drive my Cobra so much. I had heard many good things about Mazda's so we started looking at 3's and Protege's when we came across a 2001 Protege MP3. I had never heard of the MP3 model (they only made 2000 of them), so I looked up some info on it and was impressed with what I read. I was even more impressed when we drove the car. It does not have a lot of power (2.0 liter, 150 HP) but it has absolutely incredible handling, a great stereo, and great gas mileage. I really could not be more impressed with the handling and overall build quality of this car. I've been driving it mysellf quite a bit because it is almost as fun as the Cobra, but gets way better gas mileage. Of course, there is no replacement for the sound of the 5.0 and the low end torque, but if anyone else is thinking about getting a small, reasonably priced, yet fun to drive car, the Mazda's are hard to beat. We've had the car about 3 months now without one complaint. In fact I like the thing more every time I drive it. If it had a little more power it would run circles around my Cobra in the twisties. We could have looked into the MazdaSpeed Protege's for more power, but they require premium fuel (turbo), get a little lower gas mileage, sell for a good bit more, and have higher insurance rates. This car really is the most fun thing I have seen in an reasonably priced economical car.

Tejinder Narang
Contrary to the general perception that zero import duty on wheat notified by Government on 8th December2016 will hurt interests of Indian farmers, it will in fact benefit them. In April-June2017, (at Rabi harvest time), FCI/State agencies have to build up stocks by adding 32-33 million tons (mts) purchases from farmers because reserves are disappearing rapidly. Thus over-riding emphasis for buying locally will be vital. If this target of 32-33 million tons is not achieved, wheat import on Government account may have to be considered. Procedurally Government's import through tenders is long and cumbersome exercise with concerns of post contractual controversies on prices and timing, which is avoidable if import is undertaken by private sector at zero duty. Government can then concentrate on local procurement and service PDS requirement without resorting to imports –leaving that to the privates
Zero duty will be advantageous to consumers, importers and also the Government too. International prices are cheap (14 pkg landed in south India)—lower than Indian MSP (16.25pkg ex North India). Thus decision to reduce duty to nil is rational and timely.
The specifics as to why duty is made zero, need to be briefly elaborated. Though Government has consistently claimed Indian wheat output of 2016-17 at 93.50 mts, market players estimated production not exceeding 84 mts. FCI/State agencies were able to procure only 23 mts against target of 28-29mts. Local prices, immediately after the harvest (in May-June 2016), started firming up specially in South India where wheat is relatively more expensive due to high incidence of local handling /freight from North (Ludhiana-Panjab) to say Cochin/ Mangalore, Tuticorin. Millers in South also felt that sufficient produce of Madhya Pradesh was not available to meet their needs. FCI tapered down sale of the grain in the open market indicating tightness of cereal, with the Centre. This bolstered the speculative sentiment of bullishness in price.
Import window of wheat on Open General License (OGL) was available. Importers commenced procurement from Australia initially around $225-240 cif (landed at East coast Indian ports), and thereafter from Ukraine/Russia/France/ Bulgaria around $200-210 cif.
Government imposed custom duty of 25% in June 2016 to limit imports, without realizing higher demand pull and lower stocks in central pool. Imported grain's cost with 25% duty was estimated at par with Indian wheat in the South at Rs 19-20 pkg against MSP of Rs 15.25 pkg.
Cargos of about one mts of imported wheat arrived by August- September 16. (Analysts believe 60% tonnage came from Ukraine; 30%from Australia and balance 10% from other origins.) They were warehoused in custom bonded facilities, in anticipation of Government reducing duty to 10%. This was done in September 16. This dispensation sweetened deals, both for importers and millers with reasonable margins. Trade also contracted additional one mts after September 2016 from above stated origins –taking total import to 2 mts, by November 2016.
Private imports softened pressure on FCI/State agencies to offload their grain in the market. FCI/State agencies continued predominantly to cater demand of PDS. Stocks in Central pool have depleted to 16.5 mts as of 1st December 2016. It will touch around 14mts on 1st Jan 2017 --almost equal to the buffer norm on this date—versus approx. 24 mts on 1st Jan 2016—a decline of 10 mts. (see chart) With 2.5mts consumption per month, Central pool stocks will be 6.5mts—one mts below 7.5 mts stipulated buffer reserves as of 1st April2017 which is very critical for a nation of 1.3 billion populations
Intention behind Government move to finally reduce duty to Nil in December 2016 is to prompt more imports by private players because farmers have no grains to sell from Nov16- April 2017 to millers.
Government to incentivize purchases form farmers.
Effect of demonetization will linger in the next two quarters which means that farmers will encounter cash constraint from market players. Also, wheat output in 2017-18, at best will be around 86-87 mts—given the fact that grain has to mature in a mild winter wherein sowing was also delayed. (Some marginal fall in yield below 3mt/ha is not ruled out.) Should Government agencies fail to acquire less than 33 mts wheat; supply-demand matrix of self-sufficiency will be elusive. To replenish stocks, Government will like to corner maximum grain for its granaries and farmers too will give preference to official purchase at MSP of Rs1625/qtl. It is quite possible that authorities may have to limit privates' procurement to match its target.
More Imports
During Dec16-March17, additional contracting of one mts or so could be anticipated that will take total annual imports to 3 mts by in 2016-17. Government has kept nil duty open ended which implies that it might impose duty at any time but it is unlikely that a review will be made before June 2017 when the quantum of official procurement will be clearer. If Indian prices are competitive, imports will be automatically regulated. In case prices abroad escalate, imports too will halt.
It is a sad commentary that for the last 3-4years we have been producing less wheat and consuming more, resulting into disappearance of excess stocks. The possibility of shifting sowing acreage to other crops like Chana, Mustard etc. is not ruled out. Ministry of Agriculture need to boost the domestic output to match demand in coming years to contain rising volume of imports.

Success stories
Oralia was a student at Clifton from January 2008 to May 2010. She decided to come to Clifton because she thought it was an awesome school! She attended the Business Program with Mrs. Wine. She learned many things, but she says the most important lesson she learned was, no matter how hard the situation, never give up on your dreams.
In her third year at Clifton, Mrs. Borders helped Oralia find her job at Faith Presbyterian Child Development Center. She is happily surprised that she still works there and she enjoys making money. She works 40 hours a week as a Teacher Assistant. She is also working on earning her Child Development Certificate at the ACC Eastview campus. Her goal is to keep working and to get a place of her own.
Oralia would like to tell students that Clifton is an awesome school and you could learn a lot by going to Clifton. She also says the staff is amazing! We at Clifton miss Oralia and are very proud of all she has accomplished.
Alden completed the Culinary Arts program at Clifton. She learned team work, got her Texas Food Handler's certificate, acquired proper kitchen skills, time management, organization, responsibility and so much more. She currently works at Austin's Pizza for four hours a week and at Cafe Express four hours a week, for a total of eight hours a week. Her employers have dress codes she must follow. She wears a tee shirt with restaurant logo and jeans or black slacks. Alden's mom drives her to work. She likes working because she has made new friends, learned lots about restaurants and cooking and she has her own money to spend. She says she would not be able to do her job if she had not learned all about the right way to work in a professional kitchen at Clifton. She plans to continue working and would like to work full time someday. She also would like to live in a house with some friends. Alden's family is really proud of her, and so are we!
Jacob attended the Clifton Ag/Mechanics Program a few years ago. He came by the other day to say hello. Jacob is now attending the Welding program at Austin Community College. He says college is fun and interesting, and he enjoys learning something new each day. He credits Clifton and Mr. Duncum for teaching him to weld and preparing him for college. He plans to continue his coursework to complete the certifications ACC offers. We are always glad to hear from former students about their successful transition from school to work or college. Congratulations Jacob!

Secure internet banking on a public Wi-Fi networkBack to overview
An increasingly large part of our lives takes place on the internet. For many, this is convenient, easy, and fun. However, there are also risks involved in our desire for constant connectivity. To achieve it, many regularly switch the secure internet environment of their home network for unsecure public Wi-Fi networks. Without the proper protection, connecting to a public Wi-Fi network for important matters, like internet banking, is incredibly dangerous. GOOSE VPN can protect you against these dangers.
The risks of using a public Wi-Fi network
Public Wi-Fi networks are often a solution if you want to connect to the internet in places like the train, a restaurant, or abroad. Surfing the web using a public hotspot is straightforward, and in many cases, free. There is also a downside though. What many users do not realise is that public Wi-Fi networks can be very unsafe. It is not an exaggeration to state that by using a public network, your internet traffic is just as public. Even novice hackers would have no difficulty tapping into and intercepting your traffic. If you are unlucky, an intruder might even pretend to be you, and engage in internet banking, for example – in your name!
There are three ways to prevent this from happening. Firstly, it is possible to simply stop sending sensitive information through Wi-Fi. This is often inconvenient. A second option is to make use of your mobile phone's internet connection (2G, 3G or 4G), but this is often expensive and slow. The third option is make use of a VPN service.
How does a VPN work?
The abbreviation VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. Unlike a Wi-Fi hotspot, which is established through a physical transmitter, a VPN is created via software (virtually). In essence, a VPN server creates a personal, encrypted tunnel. When you are surfing on a public Wi-Fi network using a VPN service, an intruder can only see an encrypted connection. No information regarding what you are doing on the internet, or which passwords you are using, is leaked. Thus, you are protected, even on unsecure public Wi-Fi networks.
Safe internet banking with GOOSE
Would you also like to be able to use internet banking securely on public Wi-Fi hotspots? Choose GOOSE's VPN service! Our software is easy to install and functional on all major operating systems.

Description: Computer science encompasses a wide range of topics and skills designing and building computer devices (e.g., your cell phone, laptop, cleaning robots), designing and building programming languages (e.g., Java, Python, C) and the supporting software that control these devices (e.g., operating systems, compilers), and the actual applications themselves (e.g., reading an x-ray, video animation, voice mail). This course focuses on how to write computer programs that solve problems on a general purpose computer.
Programming is one of the key tools that computer scientists use to help themselves and others use to solve problems. This course uses a particular programming language, Java, to introduce you to how to use a computer to solve your problems. In this course, most of your learning will take place when you are putting in to practice the concepts from the book and lectures to solve more and more complex problems using more and more sophisticated programming practices. You will learn by doing. Performance on the programming assignments and performance on exams correlate closely.
Programming is a skill learned by experience, not just listening to lecture. To gain that experience I strongly encourage you to do as many extra problems as time allows. See the schedule for extra problems from the textbook and websites with practice problems.
Objectives: This is a first course in computer programming. The purposes of the course are to learn fundamental computer science concepts including algorithm development, problem decomposition, data types, variables, parameters, decision making, iteration, arrays, and 2D arrays. By the end of the course students are expected to be able to implement programs consisting of several programmer defined data types and several hundred lines of code employing non trivial algorithms.
Estimates of the required effort to pass the class are:
Prerequisites: Credit with a grade of at least C- or registration for Mathematics 408C, 408K, or 408N..

Class web site: http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~scottm/cs312. Course materials and announcements are available there.
Startup: Most of the things you need to do to set up your infrastructure for the class are on the startup page.
Conduct in Lecture: I do not allow the use of laptops or any device with a raised screen in class. If you have a device that can lay flat on the desk such as a tablet or 2-1 computer you may use it. That said, I implore you to not use class time to e-mail, update your Facebook page, post to Instagram or Snapchat. If you are addicted to the your smartphone, laptop, or tablet, consider this class your social media free zone. Further, I guarantee you that you will not do well in the course if you are simply looking up long enough to type out what's on the projector screen before you return to see whether somebody 'liked' your comment about the Cheerios you had for breakfast. The empirical research on this topic is clear: people are incapable of learning and retaining information when they are multi-tasking on their computers (and it's a distraction to the people sitting around you that are trying to learn something).
Class Participation, iClicker
After registering you DO NOT have to sign up for a particular class on the iClicker website.
Class Discussion Tool: I have set up a discussion group for the class on Piazza.
Canvas: We will use Canvas to turn in programming assignments. See the assignments page for more details.
Email: All students must become familiar with the University's official e-mail student notification policy. It is your responsibility to keep the University informed as to changes in your e-mail address. You are expected to check e-mail on a frequent and regular basis in order to stay current with University-related communications, recognizing that certain communications may be time-critical. It is recommended that e-mail be checked daily. The complete text of this policy and instructions for updating your e-mail address are available at http://tinyurl.com/pm6ej6e which includes instructions on how to update the email address you have on record with UT.
You are responsible for checking your e-mail and the class discussion group on Piazza regularly for class work and announcements.

Guiding Principle - No whining: Feedback and concerns about the course are always welcome; legitimate grading errors that are identified in a timely fashion will certainly be corrected, but whining is counter-productive and will only irritate those who evaluate your work to determine grades. Realize if you ask for a regrade "because it can't hurt to ask" your score may actually go down if we find more errors and problems.
Important Dates for Changing Academic Status and Dropping the Course: Refer to the Registrar's academic calendar for the deadlines for changes in academic status. Highlights are:

University Code of Conduct
The core values of the University of Texas at Austin are learning, discovery, freedom, leadership, individual opportunity, and responsibility. Each member of the University is expected to uphold these values through integrity, honesty, trust, fairness, and respect toward peers and community.
Academic Honesty: Taken from the CS department Code of Conduct.
"The University and the Department are committed to preserving the reputation of your degree. It means a lot to you. In order to guarantee that every degree means what it says it means, we must enforce a strict policy that guarantees that the work that you turn in is your own and that the grades you receive measure your personal achievements in your classes:
Every piece of work that you turn in with your name on it must be yours and yours alone unless explicitly allowed by an instructor in a particular class. Specifically, unless otherwise authorized by an instructor:
You are responsible for complying with this policy in two ways:
The penalty for academic dishonesty will be a course grade of F and a referral of the case to the Dean of Students. Further penalties, including suspension or expulsion from the university may be imposed by that office.
One final word: This policy is not intended to discourage students from learning from each other, nor is it unmindful of the fact that most significant work in computer science and in the computing industry is done by teams of people working together. But, because of our need to assign individual grades, we are forced to impose an otherwise artificial requirement for individual work. In some classes, it is possible to allow and even encourage collaboration in ways that do not interfere with the instructor's ability to assign grades. In these cases, your instructor will make clear to you exactly what kinds of collaboration are allowed for that class."
For CS312 the policy on collaboration is modified as follows:
If you are repeating the course you may reuse code you completed on your own. You may NOT use code from a program you worked on as part of pair or code that was from a program involved in an academic dishonesty case. You must start from scratch on any and all programs that:
You are encouraged to study for tests together, to discuss methods for solving the assignments, to help each other in using the software, and to discuss methods for debugging code. Essentially if you talk about an assignment with any one else you are okay, but the moment you start looking at someone else's source code or showing someone else your source code you have crossed the line into cheating. You should not ask anyone to give you a copy of their code or, conversely, give your code to another student who asks you for it. Similarly, you should not discuss your algorithmic strategies to such an extent that you and your collaborators end up turning in exactly the same code. Discuss high level approaches together, but do the coding on your own.
Examples of cheating are many and include accessing another student's account, looking at someone else's solution code, copying or downloading someone else's solution code, referring to solutions from previous semesters, having another student walk you through the solution and how to code it, having another student perform significant debugging of your code, having another student write your code for you and / or allowing others to copy of access your solution code. This means you shall not look on the internet for code to solve your problems and you shall not post your solution code to a publicly accessible web site.
Examples of allowable collaboration include discussions and debate of general concepts and solution strategies and help with syntax errors.
The code you can reuse in this course are:
You shall not make use of code you find from other sources including the world wide web. Materials from the web should only be used for educational purposes. Thus, you can read about arrays and look at examples of linked list code, but you must not copy any code from the web or be looking at any of this code from the web when writing anything you turn in.
You are also allowed to post short segments of code (2 lines or less) of code that are giving you syntax errors to the class listserv in order to get help on fixing the syntax error.
If you have any doubts about what is allowed, ask the instructor.
Plagiarism detection software will be used on assignments to find students who have copied code from one another.
For more information on Scholastic Honesty and the UT Honor code see see the
University Policy on Scholastic Dishonesty
Religious Holidays: By UT Austin policy, you must notify me via email of your pending absence at least fourteen (14) days prior to the date of observance of a religious holy day. If you must miss a class, an examination, a work assignment, or a project in order to observe a religious holy day, you will be given an opportunity to complete the missed work within a reasonable time after the absence.
Students with Disabilities: Students

Following is the speech by the Permanent Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development (Commerce, Industry and Tourism), Miss Yvonne Choi, at the opening ceremony of the Hong Kong Watch and Clock Fair 2010 this morning (September 6):
Fred (Lam), Samson (Sun), Stanley (Lau), Peter (Sin), Joseph (Chu), distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning.
It is my great pleasure to join you today at the opening of the Hong Kong Watch and Clock Fair 2010.
I would like to welcome all participants, especially overseas visitors, to this world renowned Watch Fair, which is being held for the 29th year. It is most encouraging that over 700 exhibitors from all over the world are joining the event this year.
Hong Kong is the second largest exporter of clocks and watches in the world. As the Asian economies lead the world in the recovery from the global financial crisis, Hong Kong's watch and clock industry continues to tick strongly.
In the first half of this year, the value of our timepiece exports amounted to HK$24.5 billion, or about US$3.1 billion. This represents an impressive growth of 24% compared to the same period last year.
Europe, the US and Mainland China continued to be our top three export markets in 2009, accounting for over half of the total exports of the industry.
Given the uncertain pace of the economic recovery in the traditional markets in the West, Hong Kong continues to serve as an effective launch pad for emerging markets in Asia, particularly Mainland China.
Under our unique free trade pact with the Mainland, what we call the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement or CEPA for short, all Hong Kong products meeting the relevant origin rules can enjoy zero tariff to enter the Mainland market.
During the first six months of 2010, $2.5 million worth of "Hong Kong brand" watches entered the Mainland market under the tariff-free treatment under CEPA.
The Mainland and other emerging markets no doubt provide huge business opportunities. But competition is also keen. To enhance our competitiveness, there is a need for the industry to move up the value chain.
At present, about three-quarters of Hong Kong's watch and clock exports are produced on an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) basis. Increasingly, we see more Hong Kong enterprises starting to develop original design manufacturing (ODM) or original brand manufacturing (OBM) businesses.
Manufacturers are also investing more in research and development, such as applying 3-D computer graphics in industrial design to meet consumer demand for enhanced functionalities and more fashionable design. The Government is keen to facilitate our enterprises in moving up the value chain through providing financial support under various SME funding schemes.
Apart from being a major exporter of watches, Hong Kong is also the world's largest importer of Swiss luxury watches. The total value of imported Swiss watches in the first half of this year amounted to HK$10.4 billion. Overseas tourists, particularly Mainland tourists, like to buy luxury watches in Hong Kong partly because of the quality services provided by Hong Kong watch retailers. This adds to the vitality of the watch and clock industry in Hong Kong.
Lastly, I would like to congratulate the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, the Hong Kong Watch Manufacturers Association and the Federation of Hong Kong Watch Trades and Industries on staging this spectacular event once again this year.
Thank you.
Ends/Monday, September 6, 2010

DigitalSpy.co.uk - David Gibbon, December 7 2007:
"Niggles aside, however, Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is the first PlayStation 3 game that will be regarded as a 'classic' in years to come. Funny characters, excellent dialogue, great twists and fine voice-acting all add to a game that is a visual delight from start to finish. If you have been looking for a PS3 exclusive to make Xbox 360 and Wii owners wish they could swap consoles, this is it."
5 stars out of 5

Skin Care Tip: Fall forecast: high chance of breakouts. Did you know that Fall is the most common time of year when breakouts are at their highest?
Breakouts are increased during the fall months because the oil flow in the skin during the summer months is still occurring this time of year, yet the cooler air creates layers of dead skin cell build-up. The result is trapped oil and bacteria underneath the surface of the skin resulting in increased breakout activity.
Avoid high-foaming cleansers. Bar soap and many foaming cleansers have high pH balances with harsh ingredients that strip the water out of the skin. And what you wash with is the MOST important part of your skin care routine. Why? Because if you wash with a foaming cleanser or soap that is too drying, it pulls all the water out of the skin and creates dead, dry skin cell build up resulting in increased break out due to oil and bacteria getting trapped under the skin. Avoid the harsh ingredient Sodium Laureth Sulfate in your cleanser and instead choose sulfate-free cleansing gels so they won't over dry the skin. Remember the rule: More lather, more drying. Less lather, less drying.
Change pillowcases nightly.
For problem skins, bacteria and oil can build up on your pillowcase and be reintroduced to your skin the following night. Invest in a nice stack of pillowcases and make sure you wash them with a dye and fragrance-free laundry soap.
Avoid using toners that contain SD Alcohol 40.
Many people like the 'clean' and 'tight' feeling associated with using alcohol on the skin, but this ingredient will strip the skin of water, which results in dead cell build up. Trying to dry up oily skin can backfire, as stripped cell buildup traps oil and leads to break outs. Toners without alcohol, on the other hand, are very important for keeping the skin cells moist with water.
Use both a chemical and a physical exfoliant to remove dry skin cells and unclog trapped pores.
Chemical exfoliants are enzymes or acids, such as Glycolic Acid or Pumpkin Enzymes that are applied to the skin and dissolve and digest dead skin cell build up while they are on the skin. Typically they are left on overnight. Physical exfoliants are facial scrubs. These contain a bead or a grain to physically polish away the dead skin cells. So you'll get the best benefit for reducing clogged pores and breakouts when you use a combination of the both in your skin care routine.
Drink hot lemon water first thing in the morning.
Squeeze fresh lemon into hot water and drink when you wake up. This will help flush out and purify the body internally, reducing toxins and bacteria in the small intestine which can cause skin sensitivities. This is great for break outs.
Drying out your skin=more break outs.
Be cautious with over-the-counter acne products. Although these can work to dry up the actual blemish, when used all over the face they can trap the oil in the pores by causing dead skin cell buildup.
Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night.
Sleep is not only important to keep dark circles at bay, but it is also the time when your body is most metabolically active, ridding itself of toxins which would otherwise wreak havoc with your skin. Sleep also reduces stress, a common aggravator of acne!
Get the pores cleaned out regularly.
To reduce clogged pores, blackheads and break outs, regular monthly deep pore cleansing facials are a must. A deep pore cleansing facial combined with a skin peel is a great way to keep your skin soft, clear and smooth.
As always, when choosing products for your skin, be sure to check out our nine skin types.

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese electronics maker Sharp Corp said on Friday its second-quarter operating profit slipped 18.3 percent, missing forecasts, as a consumption tax increase in Japan squeezed sales of electronic parts, TVs and white goods.
Sharp's operating profit for July-September fell to 24.5 billion yen ($224 million) from 30 billion yen in the same period a year earlier. That was below an average estimate of 28.2 billion compiled from seven analyst forecasts gathered by Thomson Reuters StarMine.
But Sharp reiterated its full-year operating profit forecast of 100 billion yen, saying earnings from its growing liquid-crystal display (LCD) panels business more than tripled in the first half of the year amid increasing orders from Chinese smartphone makers. In the year ended March 2014, operating profit was 108.6 billion yen.
Sharp is working its way through a restructuring to reduce reliance on products like TVs in the wake of heavy losses in recent years when it was undercut by cheaper Asian rivals. In a shift more pronounced than at other Japanese electronics makers, it's increasingly focusing on selling LCDs to customers like Apple Inc and a new breed of Chinese smartphone makers.
For the second quarter, the company said its display panels division accounted for three-quarters percent of operating profit, up from less than 59 percent in the same period a year earlier.
By 0505 GMT, Sharp shares were up 3.8 percent, in line with a broad market rally and a 4.4 percent gain in the benchmark Nikkei triggered by unexpected move by Japan's central bank to ease monetary policy.

Feb. 25, 2015 – [Interaksyon] DoubleDragon picks 5 more sites for chain of community malls
February 25, 2015
MANILA – DoubleDragon is expanding the footprint of its soon-to-rise chain of community malls.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, DoubleDragon Properties Corporation said its unit, CityMall Commercial Centers Inc (CMCCI) has secured 5 more sites, including one in Dumaguete City, Negros Oriental; one in Tagum City, Davao del Norte; one Iloilo City; two in Tarlac City.
This brings to 20 the total number of sites for the company's chain of community malls under the "CityMall" brand.
The Dumaguete project will occupy a 1.3-hectare corner lot along Veterans Avenue National Highway (Dumaguete-Bacong Road) at the heart of the city, which is the most populous in the province of Negros Oriental. The project site is beside the GSIS office, across the Negros Oriental Provincial Hospital, and near the Siliman University and the St. Paul University.
The Tagum project occupies a 1.9-hectare lot at the corner of Lapu-Lapu Extension and Maharlika Highway, which is the main road that neighboring towns to the capital city of Davao del Norte. The project site is surrounded by schools, transport terminals, subdivisions, hospitals, churches, government offices, hotels and commercial establishments.
The Iloilo project in Parola will become part of another DoubleDragon project, the Iloilo-Guimaras Ferry Terminal, a 1.3-hectare fully landscaped complex which will house a terminal for ferries plying the routes of Guimaras and Iloilo. The Ferry Terminal Complex is envisioned to provide a world-class ferry terminal with the CityMall-Parola Iloilo inside the complex to provide commuters an array of food and retail choices.
The first of two Tarlac projects will be located at the southern terminus of the Subic–Clark–Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx), which is a 93.77-kilometer four-lane expressway north of Manila built by the Bases Conversion and Development Authority (BCDA). The southern terminus of the SCTEX is at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone in Zambales.
The SCTEX project site will be integral to Seaoil Philippines' 24/7 refuelling station in the area.
Lastly, the CityMall-Tarlac MacArthur will rise on a 1.9-hectare corner lot along the MacArthur Highway and would be bounded by subdivisions, commercial establishments, schools and churches. DoubleDragon said the company will capitalize on Tarlac's location as a pitstop for travellers going to northern Luzon.
DoubleDragon aims to put up 25 CityMalls this year and increase that to 100 by 2020. CMCCI is jointly owned by DoubleDragon and Henry Sy Sr. of the SM Group.

Dec. 23, 2015 – [ABS-CBN News] DoubleDragon plans 2nd CityMall in Bacolod
MANILA, Philippines – CityMall Commercial Centers Inc. (CMCCI), the mall development arm of DoubleDragon Properties Corp., is planning to build a second community mall in Bacolod City.
In a disclosure to the stock exchange, DoubleDragon said CMCCI secured a joint venture for a 1-hectare prime commercial lot in Mandalangan, Bacolod City, where the community mall would be built.
The CityMall – Mandalagan Bacolod will be located along Lacson-Mandalagan Street, near public market, churches, hospitals, banks and residential subdivisions.
DoubleDragon said the property is the 15th site secured by CMCCI for its CityMall chain. A CityMall outlet is a one-floor strip mall with 5,000 to 10,000 square meters of retail space.
"(This) puts the company on track to meet the goal of completing its first 25 CityMalls by end of 2015 and a total of 100 CityMalls by 2020, all in prime and strategic locations around the Country," DoubleDragon said.
DoubleDragon sees strong growth in Bacolod, citing the city's fast-growing information technology and business process outsourcing sectors.
"The whole DD team continues to be determined on its near-term goals of reaching 1 million square meters of prime leasable spaces around the country. We believe that this will provide the company with both a strong recurring rental income and a string of valuable appreciating assets," the company said.
CMCCI earlier said it has secured a 1.1-hectare prime commercial lot along Araneta St. in Bacolod City to build the CityMall-Goldenfields Bacolod. The project is part of a joint venture involving the redevelopment of a 6-hectare mixed-use complex to serve the north of Bacolod.
DoubleDragon, the property firm of Mang Inasal founder Edgar "Injap" Sia II and Jollibee Foods owner Tony Tan Caktiong, is planning to open 100 CityMalls by 2020, mostly located outside Metro Manila.

Dec. 15, 2014 – [Philippines Today] DoubleDragon unveils construction of first CityMall in Roxas City
MANILA, Dec. 15 (PNA) — Listed DoubleDragon Properties Corp. on Monday unveiled the construction of its first ever CityMall in a 1.2-hectare prime property located in Roxas City, Capiz.
In a disclosure to the Philippine Stock Exchange, DoubleDragon said CityMall-Arnaldo Roxas is already 100 percent leased out and will conduct its grand opening once all the tenants have completed their store renovations.
To date, six other CityMall sites are under various stages of construction.
"By the first half of 2015, all the other CityMalls will be simultaneously under full-swing construction as the first 25 CityMalls are targeted to be completed by the end of 2015, all in line with the aim to reach 100 completed CityMalls by 2020," the company said.
DoubleDragon Chairman Edgar Injap Sia II said the construction of the first CityMall is expected to be completed in eight months.
"Our dynamic team are all set and determined to make CityMall the most successful community mall in the Philippines, and we aspire to eventually see a CityMall in every vibrant community around the Country serving the daily necessities of our fellow Filipino shoppers," Sia said.
"CityMall is expected to become the most vibrant community mall chain in the country, bringing in near you the complete line of your favourite top basic food and non-food retail brands," the company said. (PNA)
Dec. 10, 2014 – [Manila Standard Today] DoubleDragon secures site in Bacolod City for 14th CityMall
By | Dec. 10, 2014 at 10:55pm
DoubleDragon Properties Inc. said Wednesday it has secured its 14th site for the planned chain of community malls under CityMall brand.
DoubleDragon said in a disclosure to the stock exchange unit CityMalls Commercial Center signed a joint venture for a 1.1-hectare prime commercial center along Araneta Street in Bacolod City where CityMall-Goldenfields Bacolod will be constructed.
The company said the site was an integral part of the six-hectare Goldenfields Commercial Complex that would soon be redeveloped as a new and vibrant mixed-use development to serve northern part of Bacolod.
"CityMall-Goldenfields Bacolod is another prime and strategic site secured by CMCCI and put the company on track to meet the goal of completing and operating 25 CityMalls by the end of 2015 and 100 CityMalls by 2020," DoubleDragon said.
The future site is located across the old Bacolod Airport and is only a few meters from the numerous residential subdivisions, schools and commercial establishments that surround it.
Bacolod City is the capital and center of commerce and finance in Negros Occidental and is the most populous city in Western Visayas.
DoubleDragon, which was listed with the Philippine Stock Exchange in February, aims to become one of the largest commercial and residential developers by 2020.
It expects net income to reach P1 billion by 2016 and P4.8 billion by 2020.
The developer plans to spend P24 billion to build 100 CityMalls stores across the country with a gross floor area of 700,000 square meters.
DoubleDragon is set to open five CityMalls this year alone.
DoubleDragon is a 50-50 joint venture between Injap Investments Inc. of Edgar Sia and Honeystar Holdings Corp. of Jollibee Foods Corp. chairman Tony Tan Caktiong.
DoubleDragon owns a 66-percent stake in CMCCI while the remaining 34 percent is owned by SM Investments Corp. of tycoon Henry Sy.
DoubleDragon raised P7.4 billion in October from the issuance of seven-year fixed rate notes.
Proceeds from the corporate notes issue will be used to finance capital expenditures primarily for rollout of community malls as well as office and leasing businesses including DoubleDragon Plaza at the Meridian Park, Dragon8 Shopping Center-Divisoria and The Skysuites Tower in Quezon City.

Big news coming to the schedules program! The US General Services Administration (GSA) has issued a final rule that opens up for procurement of Order-Level Materials on FSS contracts or BPAs.

As we celebrate Women's History Month we wanted to take a moment to highlight one of the biggest advantages Women-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs) and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSBs) have in federal government contracting: Sole Sourcing.

In an effort to increase efficiency and encourage savings, GSA published a final rule on transactional data reporting on June 23, 2016. This new requirement instructs vendors to report transactional data from orders placed against certain Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contracts, Government Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), and Government Wide Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts.

Major changes implemented by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) will be affecting several organizations in the small-business arena. On February 26, 2016, the SBA's revised standards for business size determinations took effect, due to final rulings by the SBA as part of the agency's comprehensive North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) review. 209 different industries could feel the effect of this change.
Now that you're a GSA contract holder you may have noticed that there's quite a bit of red tape to work around. Certain performance orders issued under your GSA contract may require you to travel out of area. If this is the case for your organization, there are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to travel expenses and per diem charges.
Topics: Government Contracting, Government Business Opps, Market Research
One of the most common GSA contractor errors discovered during a GSA assessment visit is incorrect Industrial Funding Fee (IFF) reporting of GSA sales. There may be several reasons why this happens, but one of the most common reasons is that businesses fail to distinguish between GSA sales and non-GSA sales. Companies may not know what constitutes a GSA sale, may have not offered GSA pricing to a GSA eligible buyer and/or they may not have a proper system in place to track and identify GSA sales.
Topics: GSA Schedule, IFF Reporting
As of June 2015, GSA has updated their process for conducting contractor visits. There are now two types of visits: Annual Assessments and End of Term Assessments. Annual Assessments will occur every year for contractors that produce more than $150,000 in sales. End of Term Assessments will occur for all contractors approximately 12 months prior to their contract extension.

General Services Administration (GSA) IT Schedule 70 is a GSA Multiple Award Contract for Information Technology services and products negotiated with and awarded by the GSA. Under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Program and IT Schedule 70 in particular, the Federal government, as well as State and Local government entities can meet virtually every single purchasing need by buying products and services directly from GSA approved vendors at pre negotiated prices. GSA contracts offer government customers direct delivery of high-quality commercial supplies and services at discount pricing.
Topics: GSA Contract Consulting
Contractor Assistance Visits (CAVs) are in-person or virtual meetings between GSA's Industrial Operations Analysts (IOAs) and GSA contractors that are meant to assess processes and systems that your firm has in place.

Boiler questions:
Q. What is the annual maintenance cost of the boilers?
A. The annual service of a boiler starts at £150.00 plus VAT
Q. Our boiler choice is limited by space, which boiler would you suggest?
A. We would suggest a Mini K25 as it will fit in a small space and is not much bigger then a washing machine. The Hydro line of wood pellet stoves with back boilers are also great for space saving. If you have no space inside but space outside, why not have a look at our TRECO pods, which are boilers supplied in a self contained boiler house.
Q. Do you supply stoves to fit in a fireplace?
A. Yes depending on the size of space you intend to fill, we have a range of stoves to fit different space requirements. Please contact Northstar Energy to discuss.
Q. How controllable are the boilers? Are they still efficient when ticking over?
A. They are controllable to 1°.
Q. Are the boilers fully automatically controlled?
A. Yes, they use a control system which allows you to regulate the temperature, fuel and automatic running of the boiler. Except with a SYNCHRO with works in a slightly different way.
Fuel questions:
Q. Which boilers will burn miscanthus?
A. Kalorina / E 2200, 2300, 2400 and 2500 from TATANO and in pelleted form the Biocom and the Powercorn from Guntamatic.
Q. Can you burn shavings used for horse bedding?
A. YES, with the Kalorina / E 2300 range and the Kalorina / E 2500 range, but it depends on the size and quality of the bedding. If it is very wet it will not burn.
Q. Can you burn straw?
A. You can burn straw pellets, we are still doing research into using them.
Q. Can you burn Plastic?
A. Yes you can, but you will NOT be allowed due to Environmental Agency policies. You will need to check with them and us first to know what you are allowed to burn.
Q. What moisture content should the pellets be in order for it to burn?
A. Wood pellets need to be 10 - 12 % and cereals 14 - 16 % the lower the moisture content the better.
Q. Can you burn logs?
A. Yes, logs can be placed directly into the burning chamber of our TATANO boilers, but for frequent log burning it is recommended that you use in conjunction with a buffer Storage tank. Our SYNCHRO boilers in the Guntamatic range are just for burning logs, these boilers are up to 96% efficient and proving a very popular choice. Please go to our product page for more information. Northstar Energy also have a range of stylish Log stoves from ECOTECK.
Q. Can you burn sawdust?
A. Yes, our Kalorina / E 2300 / 2500 range can burn sawdust.
Fuel storage:
Q. What is the auto feed options for the boiler?
A. We have larger hoppers and different size fuel stores that will auger or vacum feed the fuel into the boiler.
Q. Can storage units for the boiler go underground?
A. Yes they can. There are 4-6 ton underground storage units available.
Q. What storage facilities are needed for the fuel?
A. Wood pellets come in 10 - 15 Kg bags and are normally delivered per tonne. We offer a wide range of fuel stores that can have a delivery of pellets blown straight into them.
Q. Can we install abroad?
A. No, sorry we only install in the UK.
Q. Does the room heater require a Flue?
A. Yes, it requires an 80mm twin wall internal flue.
Q. How often do the boilers need filling?
A. This would depend on how often the boiler is used and the heat demand. The hopper may need filling anywhere between every couple of days if the demand is high to once a week if it is just ticking over. The Biostar W could only need filling once every three weeks. A larger hopper or attaching the boiler to a fuel store means filling less often.
Pellet Questions:
Q. What is the calorific value of wood pellets?
A. 4.8 kW hours per Kilogram.
Q. What is the economic comparison between these boilers and an oil fired boiler?
A. 1 Litre of oil = 2 Kg of wood pellets.
Q. What is the cost of wood pellets?
A. The cost per Tonne is £150 - £230 (VAT not always included).
Q. Where is the nearest supplier of wood pellets?
A. There is a nationwide network of suppliers that is growing monthly, please look at the fuel page on our website for suppliers that we can recommend.
Q. Can Biomass be burnt in a smoke controlled area?
A. Biomass can be burnt in a smokeless zone, but it would need to be approved by the DTI and the environmental agency.
Q. Does the biomass boiler loose its environmental advantage when supplied by a non-local wood pellet dealer due to transport CO2 emissions? or what are some recomendations? ?
A. TRECO are currently in the process of tackling this problem by doing some research into local suppliers nationwide. This should prevent long travelling distances by putting the customer in contact with their local supplier. So hopefully this should not be a problem in the future. There are thousands of suppliers UK wide, it's just a case of doing some research. However, this minor problem should not stop you from turning to biomass and putting your environmental goals in place. TRECO's boilers are carbon-neutral and in being so are much more eco-friendly than sticking with a oil or gas alternative.
Installation Questions:
Q. What type of flue is required for the boilers?
A. A Twin wall stainless steel flue up to EN1856.
Q. What is the lead time between placing the order to receiving my boiler?
A. The lead time from deposit is 4 - 6 weeks.
Q. Could the boiler be fitted by our own plumber?
A. Yes, but we recommend that Northstar Energy commission the boiler as we will do all the safety checks and set the boiler up for your exact requirements. We also train you in the operation of the boiler. TRECO supply all installers with an installation manual and TRECO are always on hand for any technical advice. We are also introducing an easyfit option where we do most of the plumbing on the boiler before it even gets to you.
Q. I have a gas boiler at the moment. Will it run on the existing electrical equipment?
A. Yes, most controlled systems have the same supply as our boilers; they only need 5 amps.
Q. Please could you send information on the grants that are available?
A. Please look at the grants page on our website.
Q. We are going to fit the boiler ourselves. Would the grant still apply?
A. You are only eligible for a grant if your pellet stove is installed by a registered installer.
Other Questions:
Q. What is so unique about these boilers apart from the environmental benefits and being more efficient?
A. With oil and gas prices rising, biomass is becoming a more cost effective way to heat your home or business.
Q. What warranty do you offer?
A. We offer 2 years onsite warranty.
