I woke early but we had to get up by 5 anyway in order to get to meetings on time. We left on time but stopped to pick up President Cabuyaban & his family. They were late so that made us late for P. E. C. I seem to have started the day off with a negative attitude and it carried through the day. When we got to the Church I realized that I had forgotten to bring all my books and papers. The Elders wanted to ask us the questions about visits to the five selected families and that didn’t set to well with me as we are trying to get any priesthood to come out. It almost seemed to me that they were just interested in finding out the questions that they are required to turn in a report on and then be excused from the meeting. I also asked them if they had the five I. O. S. forms that I had assigned them and they are not sure where they are. Our Executive Secretary did not come this morning. The Branch Clerk is also out of town and didn’t arrange for anyone to bring the Sacrament bread and water. President Cabuyaban wants me to conduct the Sacrament meeting. Prayers had not been assigned and I didn’t think any music had been prepared. I felt upset. It was Fast Sunday so we didn’t have a program to worry about and President had someone go buy bread (on Sunday) so that was there. We still do not have a Sunday School President so there was no preparation for Sunday School and the teacher, Sister Dela Cruz, didn’t show up. I just left that up to President Cabuyaban. President wasn’t there when it was time to start Priesthood meeting so I welcomed President Mercado, started meeting with a song and prayer and turned the time over to President Mercado. He released Joel Mata as Elders Quorum President and sustained William Baccay as Elders Quorum President. He, President Cabuyaban and I then set William apart. William then took over and talked about the upcoming Temple trip on August 18th and also about baptism for the dead. We tried to have a Branch Counsel after the meetings but had very few leaders there so just talked with William and Annaliza about going to the Temple and inviting the Branch members to also attend the Temple that day. I volunteered to help pay some of the travel expenses, if we could get a large group to go to the Temple that day. On the way home I got explaining my frustrations and upset Mae. We ate some dinner and then went over to Roger & Heidi’s for a short visit. I worked on my Elders Quorum presentation this evening before going to bed. We received word that Elder David B. Hate of the Quorum of the Twelve died July 31st at 4:15AM. He will be missed.

We enjoyed walking at the collage this morning. One of the things that is great about walking together is to talk with each other. Mae and I discussed the problem that is coming about with the use of the car and decided that we have got to stop it now. Upon getting back home and taking our showers we remembered that Mae was going to give me a haircut. She did and I had to rinse off again. After breakfast we got on the instant messaging with Jeff and Scott. When I first brought the internet up there was a cute note from Gail telling us that our boys were still on the camping trip. However, Jeff came on and said he had been home for a couple of hours. Scott then came on and we enjoyed visiting for a while. It sounds like they really had a good time. Mae went with me to take care of the money deposit for the Branch. We also paid our phone bill. As we ate lunch, I got thinking about our family and especially Sandi and I really got homesick and cried. Part of it is the hard time I am having with the Guimba 1st Branch challenge. We went shopping at San Jose, came back and put things away, and then took a nap. ------------- This evening Roger Silvia came over and helped me figure out an excel program, he installed my Auto Cad program and he installed a Encyclopedia for us that is really very nice. I just felt bad that we took up his Family Home Evening with his family. I am not feeling very well tonight. My stomach feels upset, I also have noticed that for the past few days my right thigh is sore like a boil. Oh well I guess I am getting old.
Tuesday, August 03, 2004
I slept very little last night. By morning I felt some better so Mae let me sleep. I do not know what it is that is giving me problems but my head feels light or dizzy and my stomach is upset. During the night I felt that I would through up but never did. I thought a lot about the Atonement and all the mistakes I have made during my life and can only appreciate the wonderment that is there. I didn’t get feeling well enough to go out to Guimba so just stayed home. It has rained a lot during the past couple of days. Mae has kept busy with various projects.
Wednesday, August 04, 2004
I feel much better this morning so we got up and went walking at the collage. After breakfast I went to President Gasmenia’s and had him sign a check for me. I went to the bank and cashed the check so I could take the money to president Cabuyaban this evening. We got word that Sugar would be coming to San Jose today so had her stop and eat lunch with us. I took a nap and then tried to register the AutoCAD program, but it wouldn’t let me. We went out to Guimba this evening to a Primary practice and Branch Presidency Meeting. I was concerned about using the car to pick up President Cabuyaban to go to meetings and visiting, so I texted President Brimhall. He replied back and feels it is ok. Mae went to the primary practice for part of it and then went to Mid-Week Activity. After Opening Exercises, they did a service project of cleaning the chapel and washing the windows. At 7:30, Mae went over to Sis. Villanueva’s planning to go visit sisters, but Sis. Villanueva was not ready and suggested they go the following week. She showed Mae several purses which her sister-in-law sells as a business and Mae bought one. Afterwards we went to visit Sis. Dela Cruz as Pres. Cabuyaban needed to visit with her, and then Mae was concerned about Christopher as he missed Sunday meetings and wasn’t there tonight either. She wanted to visit him. Maybe it’s a good thing we did, because he is leaving to go to Angeles for a job he just got there working in a sewing factory. Mae and Pres. Cabuyaban visited with him for a few minutes. He was asleep, but we woke him up. Mae encouraged him to go to Church there, to keep preparing for his mission and told him he could get his dental work done free there in Angeles. She also told him that Pres. Mercado keeps asking how he is progressing with his mission preparation. Hopefully, he will keep in touch with us. We didn’t get home until almost 10:30 p.m. I was a little frustrated with the way the evening went but I guess I just have to accept things as they are here in the Philippines.
Thursday, August 05, 2004
We went walking this morning and as we walked we commented on some things we feel we need to write down so we remember them.
1. One is that the leaves fall from the trees every day so that is always a daily job of sweeping up the leaves, if you want your place to look nice. There are lots of sweepers at the college and other places of business. We feel this is a hardship and we are glad this doesn’t happen at home.
2. Very few people have a telephone, and for those that do they have a cellular phone, which is out of range, out of charge, or out of load or you do not have a phone number for them. It is very to get a hold of people to take care of Church callings, make assignments and appointments. As to out of load, many buy their time or load card at P30 each. That is a very expensive way to buy because you have to use those cards with in 24 hours or lose the time. We buy a P300 card and that time is good for two months.
3. There are few families that have their own transportation. Of those that do it will be a bike, and they come in a verity of styles, a scooter, a motorcycle, a trike and occasionally a car.  Farm implements do not have to be licensed and taxed as are other forms of transportation. Public transportation is “Trikes” which is a small motorcycle with side car. These are everywhere and often a cause of traffic blockages. There are “Jeepnies” which is a model of the old army jeep with a long body and is build to accommodate 10 to 12 people but you often see 14 to 18 and some times we have seen as many as 6 to 12 people hanging on the top and rear bumper. Busses are used for long distance travel and are mainly found only on major highways. Because they are large the driver often is rude and pushes the right of way. We see many motorcycle operators with helmets, often hanging from their arm. If there more that on person on a motorcycle and the operator has a helmet his passengers will not. Often you see babies, 6 months old and up riding in front between the fathers knees. We often see 3 to 4 passengers on a motorcycle.
4. We see termite hills everywhere, some as high as 5 and 6 feet. Once a colony gets started the people are superstitious about removing them. We saw one that had to be removed in order to put underground utilities in. After covering up the utilities the ground was raked down and a funeral was held with the placement of a cross, flowers and candles burned through the night.
5. In the eyes of North Americans, the Filipino people are polite in some ways and rude in other ways. For example, when you are talking with them and they need to go, they will say “please excuse me, I need to go now.” If someone comes over to talk to them, they don’t just walk away from you or turn away from you, they say “Please excuse me”. If two people are talking and blocking the hallway or doorway, etc., and a person needs to go in front of them, they will crouch down, put their hands together and say “please excuse me” or “cuse me”. But, if they are in meetings, many think nothing of talking to other people while someone is speaking from the pulpit or a teacher is in front teaching a class. They also think nothing of getting up and walking out – whether to go to the bathroom, to txt someone, or just walk outside for a few minutes. Adults as well as children and youth, do this. We are trying to teach them reverence and that this is also rude. They are also rude on the roads and in traffic. They walk, drive or stop anywhere or anytime they want, and they are not concerned about how it affects other people.
6. Most Filipino people are friendly and hospitable. Many want to give you mariandas, even though they cannot afford to do so.
7. Many Filipino people are hard working and industrious, but most are lazy. Most Filipinos live in poverty. Some live in poverty because of laziness, others because of drinking, smoking and gambling, others because of their circumstances and upbringing, and others because of their corrupt government.
We came home and showered and then had to hurry in order to have breakfast ready for when the ZL’s came. Because I wasn’t feeling well on Tuesday we had our correlation meeting this morning. We mainly planned on a H.T. / V.T. seminar to be held at Guimba 3rd branch. Because of Mae’s advance planning things went pretty well. After the ZL’s left we read from the scriptures. We are reading the Old Testament and often are left wondering as to the meaning and how the people can switch back and forth so fast. I feel that this is the same attitude that the Filipinos have. I don’t understand it but I can see that without the missionary program, the Church would not last very long here. We spent some time writing the above thoughts down and I guess there are at least that many more that we need to try to express some of the experiences we are having here that are unique to us. I tried to reach the District Clerk to get a check but he didn’t reply to my text. I went out to Guimba this evening and went home teaching with President Cabuyaban & William Baccay. We couldn’t get to the two families as the river was to high and the road was to muddy. We were able to visit with three other single members and then returned home. I felt very much like a taxi driver because I didn’t understand much that was said but I provided wheels for them. Maybe that is doing something. It was 9PM when I got home. Mae had been working on the computer most of the evening plus baking a cake for the Paniqui District Elders. We had texted President Nadado but didn’t receive a reply. Oh well! Good night.
Friday, August 06, 2004
We didn’t walk this morning as we have to pickup the Munoz Elders and take them to Guimba, we then went on to Paniqui to meet with the Elders there. Although we are not presently doing much training in the Paniqui District we still enjoy associating with the Elders there and hope to soon be able to get back to training in those branches again. We tried to visit with President Nadado but he didn’t respond to our text. We stopped at Brother Damacio on the way home and got a check for Guimba 1st Br. Marlyn had diner ready for us when we got home. We then took the check to President Gasmenia’s to have it signed and to the bank to get it cashed. We came back and took a nap. This evening we went out to eat, having made an appointment to meet Mr. & Mrs. Tony at their restaurant to visit. We enjoyed the visit and becoming acquainted with them.  The chicken was not cut like the Filipinos cut it but was cut like we do at home. Both meals were very good and so reasonable. On the way home we stopped at Brother and Sister Bustos and visited with them. They seemed to enjoy having us stop and visit. It was almost 9PM when we got home.
Sunday, August 08, 2004
Yesterday went bad and we went to bed upset at the end of the day. I think that is only the 2nd or 3rd time that has happened in the 45 years we have been married. We had to apologize to each other this morning. We were busy getting ready for meetings. We picked up President Cabuyaban and his family on the way. It has really been a hectic day at church today. We didn’t get home until almost 4PM so was tired and hungry. We baked some potatoes and while they were cooking we took a nap. We then fried some pork chops and cooked some frozen vegetables. It was good to have a “Western” dinner for a change. Sometimes I sure get tired of the Filipino food. The Hyers called and we will get together with them for dinner tomorrow. We played Rummy this evening with both of us winning a set so we had a one hand play off and Mae won. We tried to get on the internet but couldn’t get it to connect this evening. I entered m journal and then tried again with the internet and got through. There wasn’t any thing from our children so we weren’t on for long.
Monday, August 09, 2004
We got up and went walking but my left ankle gave me so much pain to walk on it that we cut our walk short and came back home. We showered and ate breakfast and then got on the instant messaging with Scott. None of the rest of the family could make it today. We enjoyed visiting with Scott. Mae went with me to make the bank deposit for the Guimba 1st Branch. When we got back home the Hyer’s had just arrived. We enjoyed visiting with them. Sister Hyer said she is tired and would like to go home. I was glad that someone else besides me feels that way. Marlyn prepared a nice dinner for us and it was especially enjoyable to visit with Elder and Sister Hyer. They had to leave as they are traveling to the Longapo (? on spelling) mission, for some training up there. We took a short nap and then went to San Jose grocery shopping and mailed the receipts to the P. B. O. in Manila. This evening we went to the Dallio family (an older couple that just joined the Church in July). We enjoyed visiting with them and talked to them about the Temple and Temple work. It was a good evening.
Tuesday, August 10, 2004
We went walking but being short on time we didn’t walk very long. My ankle feels much better today so walking was not a problem. We came home and showered and got breakfast ready for the ZL’s. Following breakfast we had our correlation meeting. I took a nap and then went to Guimba to pickup brother Villanueva. I got there at noon but he didn’t think I was coming until 1PM so wasn’t ready. We then started to leave and he said that Brother Fernando lived here. That is the first time that I understood that we were taking him with us. Brother Fernando was ready but we had to wait for his brother-in-law who was going to help him. Then we understood that two brother-in-laws were going but after waiting for a while the 2nd changed his mind. On the way Brother V. got it through to me that we were to be at the hospital before 2PM. I drove fast trying to get there but after crossing the bridge with only about 3 km to go, the traffic came to a complete stand still. We took another 1 ½ hr getting to the hospital. When I pulled in to let them off, being there was signs all over saying “no parking with out a sticker”. I stopped in what we figured out to be the admitting office and as I stopped a guard came over and said that I couldn’t park there. I tried to explain that I was just letting them off, but he didn’t seem to understand me so I just ignored him and unloaded them. I had to find somewhere outside the parking lot to park. We were sent all over the hospital before we were told that we were too late and would have to come back tomorrow. I was not a real happy camper. We ask if there was a C. R. and was told that it was so dirty that we wouldn’t want to use it. It was very confusing and I am not sure if anyone really knows who told who what was suppose to be happening but I will try again tomorrow but this time I told them I would be in Guimba by 5:30AM and would leave at 6AM. Mae was very understanding when I came home upset. I told her I just want to go home and go fishing. I really can’t say that I have enjoyed this mission.
Wednesday, August 11, 2004
I woke at 3AM and was up by 3:30AM as I had to leave at 5AM for Guimba. Brother Villanueva and I took Fernando and two of his brother-in-laws back to the hospital in Cabanatuan. Yesterday the man in the one department that had to get the x-rays for us said that we had to of been there before 2PM so he couldn’t help us then. He said we needed to be at the hospital by 8AM, so we were there at 7:30AM and had to wait for the department to open at 8AM. We then are told that the one to read the x-rays doesn’t get there until 10 or 10:30 AM and that was the man that told us to be there by 8AM. I would like to have chocked him. We were then either waiting or going to another part of the hospital or pharmacy all day. At 4 PM we finally got him checked in and Brother Villanueva & I came home. We stopped at our house and Mae had some dinner ready. We then went out to Guimba and took Brother Villanueva home. Mae went to Youth Activity buy no one else showed up. It was after 7PM before President Cabuyaban came for Branch Presidency meeting and then we had to leave to get other things done. I am sure frustrated with the way things are going. It was 9 PM when we got home and I’m sure tired.
I did take some pictures of the hospital and will try to send them to David and Shauna. It is just hard to think that this is a Hospital. It is so old and dirty. In many places you see temporary building that has became permanent. Electrical wiring that is ran on porcelain insulators with bear wiring and lighting connections made by wrapping the wire around the main conductors. The thing that really seems scary is that this is 220 volts. I realize more all the time of how blessed we are in the United States.
Thursday, August 12, 2004
Because of going to bed late last night we slept in. We didn’t go walking and after showering we went to Tony’s Restaurant and had breakfast. President Cabuyaban text me and told me, that he had the papers ready to be taken to Brother Damacio, so we drove on out to Guimba.
The Cabuyaban’s are moving into their new home. It has the outside walls up, the roof on, which is just tin and the trusses would not have held snow, and a dirt floor. It is just one room with a little CR in the one corner. The kitchen cabinet has a cement cabinet top with no doors or drawers. He does have one electrical outlet so they can plug in an extension cord in order to run a light. They are so excited to be moving into their own home. I was amazed! Mae would not have wanted to move into a house like that. It was more like a chicken coop or a barn for animals in the states. The house is just cinderblock, no plaster, no paint. The doorway to get into the CR is very small and the cinderblock has been cut so it is rough so if you brushed by it, it could cut or scrape you. They have a toilet, but it does not work as there is no plumbing, it just goes into a big hole outside the house. Even though it was moving day, it wouldn’t take them long to move in as they don’t have hardly anything.
There was still paper work that was not finished. I had to go into town and get signatures from Brother Villanueva, and then to the church house to get a report which was left on the desk in the office. We went to Brother Damacio and found more problems and had to call President Mercado, He wants me to have President Gasmena approve the one voucher. I wasn’t able to get a hold of President Gasmena until 5 PM as he had been in Manila. I got the Check Voucher signed and then went back to Brother Damacio for another check. I went from there back to President Gasmena’s but found that he had gone and would be back later. At 8 PM we drove back to President Gasmena’s and got the checks signed. At 8:20 Pres. Cabuyaban texted me and will have to go to Cabanatuan in the morning and take some money for more medicine. I will have to meet President Cabuyaban in Bolac at 5:15AM to give him some money. I am having trouble holding my cool as the past three days have just been a rat race for me.
Friday, August 13, 2004
Well I woke at 4 AM but was able to sleep a few more minutes before the alarm woke me at 4:25 AM. I had to hurry and go to Bolac to meet President Cabuyaban by 5:15 AM. I was just about there when he texted me to tell me that he had to have P3, 280 with him this morning. I only had P2, 000 with me so had to return home to get more. I called President Mercado who told me he could not authorize any more that a total of P5, 000. He suggested that someone else (otherwise me) might be willing to give the remaining. I drove back to Bolac and met President Cabuyaban and gave him P4, 000. President Cabuyaban wants me to also line up Valintino’s relatives to take care of him this weekend. I came home quite upset. I really feel that I am being used. We got ready and left for Guimba. We took the Munoz Elders with us. After taking the Elders to the chapel we walked to Brother and Sister Villanueva to see if Brother Villanueva would talk to the family. Brother Villanueva was not home but would return about 10 AM. We attended District Development meeting then went back to Brother Villanueva. He was home and willing to go with me to talk to the family. The 2 brother-in-laws are willing to go but needed transportation funds. I didn’t have change with me so told Brother Villanueva I would get some change and bring it back to him. We took some medication and cream for Nomie to the Dr. office and found that they came last Saturday but was later that they had told us that they would be. We took a P100 to Brother Villanueva and left for home. We then got a text from President Cabuyaban asking us to get the papers at his place and have the brother-in-laws bring them to him. He had forgotten to take them with him. We went out to his place and finally found them, then we took them back to Villanueva’s and asked them to give them to the brother-in-laws to take down as well as to ask them to take some clean clothes to him. I was pretty upset by the time we got home. Nida was there when we got home. After some lunch she gave Mae and I a treatment. I made it to the bank to get the checks from yesterday cashed. I came home and took a nap. Brother Maharry called so when I got up I returned his call. I have a hard time not saying to much and Mae overhearing was upset with my attitude. After dinner this evening I read the Church News, filled out some budget items and entered my journal. Mae had got on the inter-net and received a nice letter from Carla informing us of some of the family news. We hadn’t heard that Florence had died in February and now Keith died August 11th. It was a short letter but gave us some update on the family that we hadn’t heard about. We are getting old enough that we need to read the Obituary to see if we are in it. We have had several family members and one friend die since we have been on out mission.
Saturday, August 14, 2004
We slept in this morning. After breakfast we went out to Guimba to the District Primary 126th Birthday Party. It was well planned and went well. It was held at the 3rd Branch chapel. For lunch we came back into town and ate at Cindy’s. It was 3:30PM when we got home. I took a short nap and then Tony came to get us for a evening at their place. They live South East of Munoz, about 3.6 km and have a lovely home they are building. They have a 4 year old son and a Filipino girl that lives with them. They said that she is their unofficial adopted daughter.  Tony and Leah were a great host and hostess, and we had a wonderful evening as well as a wonderful Western meal of pork roast, mashed potatoes, gravy and vegetables. Appetizers and soup was served first. After eating we set at the table and talked about the church. Tony has read the Book of Mormon through and is starting a 2nd time. He would like to have some more material. We will loan him “A Marvelous Work and a Wonder” for him to read. Leah, who is Filipino, Tony is Dutch, is also reading the Book of Mormon. She said she likes reading the English copy because it is not as boring as her Filipino translation. It was almost 9 PM before we got home.
Sunday, August 15, 2004
We over slept and had to hurry to get to Church. I have P. E. C. meeting at 7:30 AM. President Cabuyaban was at the highway waiting for us and had his family come later. As we drove to Guimba I had a bet with Mae that President Cabuyaban would have his family with him, but he didn’t and so Mae won that one. I told President C. that we needed to do more to get Priesthood out and active because I thought that my assignment would be changed the end of this month. I wonder if that will be so or if I am just hopping for it. Talks had not been assigned for today’s meetings and as I was to conduct I would have to fill in. We had one youth speaker and one Sister that were assigned. I ask Sister Cabuyaban to express her feelings as to the Primary Birthday Party yesterday. I took about 20 minutes and spoke about the Temple and purpose of the Gospel. I guess it went ok as Mae said it did. Sunday School still wasn’t organized as well as Priesthood meeting. I took the Young Men and gave them a lesson on prayer. With the Elders help I hope I gave them something of worth while. President Cabuyaban wanted me to interview the youth for going to the Temple but after the struggle I had in the class I know that that was an impossible task with out speaking the language, so told President that he would have to do that. After doing the finances President Cabuyaban ask if we could go with Brother William Bacay to Sister Dela Cruz’s home and bless her home. William and Annaliza were at William’s home so we went there. William said that they would come in his trike and meet us there. I felt impressed to just follow them and so let them lead the way. I was sure glad I did because it was a different Dela Cruz than I was thinking of. That went quite well and we enjoyed visiting with Sister Dela Cruz. It was 3 PM when we got home. We ate some lunch and took a nap. Mae worked on the Family letter and got it sent off. I am really quite depressed over the Branch and what to do or what to suggest. We are really realizing that with out speaking Tagolog that the communication ability is greatly inhabited. They think that they understand but if you continue the conversation there was a lot that did not get across. Sister Maharry called to find out if Keith Jensen was related to me as they had been on the inter-net and saw his obituary in the Rexburg news. I was glad that Carla had e-mailed me the other day telling us about his and Florence’s passing. Sister Maharry said that she knew Floss through Vietta who she was friends with in high school. Elder Maharry also knew Keith who had served as a finance clerk at Ricks collage with him. I also called Elder Hyer and visited with him about his comment of buying a trike to take home when they leave. I thought about him as Brother Dalin in the Guimba 2nd Branch is a motorcycle sales man and sells are slow right now for him. Elder Hyer is only thinking about it but not seriously. It is really discouraging to try to know how to help these people. There are so many problems and as Tony said last night as we were talking of some of the problems we have seen, “that is only the tip of the iceberg.”
Monday, August 16, 2004
We got up and went walking this morning. After showering and changing we went to Tony’s for breakfast. We then paid the electrical bill and left for Camiline. We got to the Maharry’s at 10:35 AM. They took us out to meet Fernando Fabros, a Branch President and a carpenter by trade. I talked to him about building doors for me to be shipped to the U. S. for our home there. He took us out to meet a good friend of his who would be the builder for us. We didn’t discuss specifics but discussed if they could provide the things I want, such as door, cabinet doors, paneling and trim. He feels he could and they could ship it to Manila. From there I would have to make those arrangements. I would really like to do it but still feel very uneasy about it. After that visit we went for a ride as Elder Maharry wanted to show us some to the area came. We came back to Cindy’s and had dinner. We stopped at the tailor shop that we had ordered clothes from last time and got our order. We made an additional order as we were very pleased with their clothing. We then went to see some more of the surrounding area. It was 4 PM before we left for home but we had a very enjoyable day. We got home about 6 PM and relaxed the rest of the evening.
Tuesday, August 17, 2004
We went walking this morning. We had the ZL’s over for breakfast and correlation meeting. Our main concern was scheduling the H.T. & V. T. firesides. Just before noon President Cabuyaban texted me and wants me to go to Guimba, get the deposit and reimbursement vouchers and get a reimbursement check before tomorrow. I got part of it done but I couldn’t get the reimbursement check. We went grocery shopping and while in San Jose I mailed the information to P. B. O. We found out this morning that the Clark’s were in a accident last night. They hit a man that walked in front of them in the dark. We also found out that we could not go to the Temple with out it being approved by the Area Presidency.
We reached President Brimhall but did not get approval until 7PM this evening. We were sure grateful for this permission. Annaliza was especially happy that we are going to be able to be at the Temple with them. When she heard we couldn’t come, she said they would cancel it, as we had to be with them. Oh dear, we don’t want that so called and told them not to cancel it. They said they were praying that we could come, and so were we. Our prayers were answered. Elder and Sister Clark got a rental car to use while their car is being repaired. When they got home they realized that they had left their house keys on the car keys and could not get into their home. They would have to drive back to Angeles to get the keys. They called us and ask if they could stay with us tonight instead of the other trip. We sure enjoyed having them this evening. They did not get permission to go to the Temple. We felt bad about that as we enjoy being with them and was looking forward to tomorrow. When we went to San Jose for our groceries we also picked up our painting. We are really excited with it. The artist also added in another painting for us. It was the painting that Elder Barker had ordered of the Angel Moroni visit to the Prophet Joseph Smith. We really like it but Elder Barker didn’t like it so wouldn’t buy it after it was painted. We feel bad about that.
Wednesday, August 18, 2004
We got up at 2 AM and left at 3:30 AM for Manila. We got to the Temple at 7:30 AM. That was a hour longer this time, but we had stopped to withdraw some money from the bank and to get some breakfast. President Cabuyaban and I took the youth into the Temple to do Baptisms for the dead, while the rest went through a session at the temple. At 11 AM we had the privilege of witnessing the sealing of William Bucay and Annaliza Mactal. It was a very beautiful ceremony. After that we went outside the Temple and took pictures of the Bride & Groom including friends and friends. The brides and groom also provided a lunch for all that attended. Mae and I stopped at the Distribution Center and at Greenhills mall and got some pearls for our daughters, daughter-in-laws and older granddaughters.

We got up and went walking although I felt depressed this morning. After returning home I washed our car as it was really dirty fro the trip to Manila yesterday. We attended the San Jose and Guimba Districts Zone Conference. It was very enjoyable and as normal President Brimhall and Sister Brimhall’s messages were special. President had their daughter and son-n-law with them today. They are visiting for a few days. Their daughter sang “I Feel My Savior’s Love” and that was very special. The meeting was special all day. It was also a transfer day for Zone Leaders and we are losing Elder Hulbert and getting Elder Michael. We will miss Elder Hulbert. It rained hard just before the conference ended. President indicated that I might be in Guimba 1st Presidency for some time. That really didn’t make me real excited. When we got home President And Sister Mercado came over. President Mercado signed a check for me. He also ask if he could borrow our power point projector for tomorrow. We turned him down, not feel very good about it. After they left I felt very depressed. I took a nap and then we went out to Guimba where Mae did some training with Sister Luz while President Cabuyaban and I went visiting. We visited one Brother who used to be a Branch President but now inactive. He isn’t feeling well so asked President C. to give him a blessing. I was asked to seal the anointing and give the blessing. I used the opportunity to also give him a message for the need to become active. We visited another couple that are less active and then got some receipts at brother Valentine’s, then went back and got Mae. We were late getting home and getting to bed.
Friday, August 20, 2004
We didn’t have time to go walking as we were a few minutes late getting up and we had to leave at 7:20 AM to go to the Paniqui District Development meeting. This will be the last time we will meet with Elder Marks and Elder Hayman as they will be going home in 10 days. It is interesting to get to know these young men and you can get attached to them pretty easy. Most of them grow a lot from when they first arrive and they learn to work hard. We enjoy meeting with the Elders in these meetings. After meeting Mae had brownies for them which they all enjoy. We then went to Moncada and took Noemi some medication and Nida some garments that we picked up for her while we were at the Distribution office the other day. We also stopped at Christopher’s parents to get the address where Chris is living but found that he is back with his parents. We visited with him for a few minutes and invited him back to church. On the way home we stopped at the Bank and cashed the reimbursement check. It was after 2 PM when we got home. We took a nap and then ate before I went out to Guimba to go visiting with President Cabuyaban. We visited with two individuals this evening. It is so hard when I do not know what is being said. The one Brother is having trouble with repentance so we visited for some time about that subject. The real problem, it seems to me, is that he is upset because President Cabuyaban ask him to turn in his Temple Recommend because he isn’t paying his tithing. His final words were (in Tagalog), when I get my Temple Recommend back then I will become active. I don’t know if it was a wasted time or not but you sure wonder. When taking President Cabuyaban home he was concerned about some of these areas and I told him that he was not a detective to search out those that were not keeping the commandments, but should take opportunity when it is appropriate to speak on some of these delicate topics. It was 9:30 PM when I got home.
Saturday, August 21, 2004
We had to get up and hurry to get ready and leave for Paniqui to attend the Districts Primary Birthday Party. They had a very good attendance and the program was well conduced and organized. We were especially thrilled at the part that Paniqui 1st Branch Primary did as that was the last branch Mae trained before we were assigned to Guimba 1st. The president had done so well with the planning, the customs and the number of children participating. We stopped at Cindy’s and got some lunch as we thought we had an appointment in Guimba on the way home. However we got a text that it had to be canceled. We were disappointed as we would have liked to gone to Tony’s in Munoz for lunch. On the way home Tony text us and said they wanted to attend church with us tomorrow. We met then at the café and enjoyed visiting with them. We gave him a couple of books to read and explained that we would be in Guimba 1st branch so we would not be able to attend with them, however we made arrangements for us to take the Elders out to their place this evening so that they could meet them and also meet them at church tomorrow. After leaving there we went over to the Umipig’s and visited with them, asking them to watch for Tony & Leah tomorrow. We enjoyed the visit with the Umipig’s also. They are great people and we have enjoyed getting to know them. When we got home I took a nap while Mae sent our family a e-mail. When I woke Mae got something to eat and then I worked on the computer while she took a nap. I made a CD of the pictures that I took of William and Annaliza’s wedding. I woke Mae with just enough time to get ready and leave to meet the Elders, however Sister Maharry called and held her up for a few minutes. That put us late meeting Elder Natad and Elder Mitchel. We went out to Tony & Leah Gerritsen’s to have the Elders meet them. We didn’t visit long but was later that we had planned because of a detour in the road. Although we didn’t stay long it was 10 PM before we got the Elders home. It was almost 11:30 PM before we got to bed.
Sunday, August 22, 2004
We were up early in order to be on time for P.E.C. at 7:30 AM. Pres. Cabuyaban didn’t come out to the road so we had to drive in to get him. Today was interesting as normal. It is sure hard when you understand very little of what is being said. If they are talking directly to me then it is in English, otherwise it is in Tagalog. As the Sacrament program started President leaned over and said that there would be 23 minutes left without a speaker. I did not respond. In another minute he said “I’m conducting.” Again I didn’t respond. After another minute or two he asked if I shouldn’t open my scriptures. Again I didn’t respond. After the last speaker concluded with over 20 minutes remaining he got up and announced that we would have a rest hymn and then Elder Browning would be the concluding speaker. I know he would do that and though I thought of not responding, I rose and gave a talk. I can only say that the Spirit directed my thoughts and I spoke the exact remaining time. I had to ask Mae if I made any since and if I tied my thought together. She said that I gave a good talk. The rest of the meetings seemed to go about the same. I sometimes wonder if I am doing any good or if I am like a parachute that is used to bail out. We also have some questions concerning the use of Fast Offerings that I will ask President Brimhall about. We came home quite beat. We ate the sandwiches that were maid by Tony last night and sent home with us, and took a nap. When I got up I started to write President Brimhall about the questions we have but realized I needed more information. I tried to call Sister Emmie Baltizar to find the information but couldn’t reach her. I will have to contact her later. Elder and Sister Clark called to see if we want to go to Dingalong tomorrow. We decided to do it so will have to let our family know that we won’t be on line with them tomorrow. Mae cooked baked potatoes and chicken for diner. It is good to have western style food. I entered today’s entry into my journal and then sent a e-mail to our family before we went to bed.
Monday, August 23, 2004
We got up and went walking and then came home and got ready to go to the Clark’s. We ate on the way to save time. We got there just after 9 AM. The four of us drove up to Dingalon Bay. This is the first time Mae and I have been there although it is in our mission. It is a larger community than I had expected. We took a lot of pictures. The bay is beautiful. There is so much potential for that area as is there with the whole Philippines but I doubt if those potentials will ever come about. We returned to the Clark’s before 4 PM and only stayed for a few minutes before we came on. I was tired so Mae drove back. We went to Guimba so that we could hold Family Home Evening with the Matal’s and the Bacay’s. We gave the lesson on the importance of Family Home Evening and then showed the pictures we took at Williams & Annaliza’s wedding at the Temple. It has been a good day but we are very tired.
Tuesday, August 24, 2004
We didn’t make it walking this morning. We had all four of the Munoz Elders for breakfast this morning. After eating we went into our correlation meeting. The phone rang and Mae answered it. She was quite a while and then she told me that it was Sandi and she wanted to talk to me. It was so good to hear from her. She is busy with her work.  The Dr. wants to have her see a specialist and probably have a operation. We recommended that she talk to Randy before she does the operation. It was sure good talking to her. We got a very nice e-mail from Jeff today and appreciated getting that. Between the two of them I sure felt Home Sick. We went into town to make the deposit, took the check vouchers to Brother Damagio and then went to Tony’s and had lunch. Tony was there and quite excited to tell us about attending church and the missionary lesson today. He also said that Allen (their unofficially adopted daughter) would like to also read the Book of Mormon. He has already read “True to the Faith” and the Priesthood manual that we gave him. He also told us that Kenneth had the whole Jr. Sunday school sing “Baa Baa Black Sheep”. We bought some sausage patties from Tony. We went to San Jose to the Bank and cashed our check, bought a 25’ tape measure for P195 or less than $3.50. We also went grocery shopping. When we came Mae put the groceries away while I tried to balance our checking account with Bank of the Philippines. Mae got something for dinner and then I went out to Guimba and got President Cabuyaban. We visited one couple this evening and also visited with Sister Emmie Baltzir and arranged for her transportation fare to go for a interview tomorrow. It was 9:30 PM before I got home. I filled out my journal entry. Then we played a game of Spider Solitary before going to bed.
Wednesday, August 25, 2004
We went walking this morning. We had two ladies stop us and visited for a few minutes. One is there because her husband is doing post graduate work and the second lives on campus for her husband is the Dean of Administration. They have two years until they will retire and then they will build in the vacant lot across from where we live. They were both cute in the way they wanted to visit with us. It was different to be at home and not really very much to leave for when Marlyn came this morning. Later I did go to President Gasmenia’s to have him sign the checks and then to the bank to cash them. This evening we went out to Guimba to attend a dinner for Sister Villanueva’s birthday. Mae met with Sister Lus for YW activity night but no young women came. For one thing it has rained heavy all day. President Cabuyaban & I met in Branch Presidency meeting and I felt that it was very worth while. The rains that we are receiving are from a typhoon and it has rained hard all day. On the news it showed Manila and they are having a lot of flooding in that area. The reports indicate that a 2nd typhoon will also follow this one. Other than heavy rains, there hasn’t been winds with this one.
Thursday, August 26, 2004
I have to make this entry, this morning Mae asked me how to spell TYPHOON and I was able to. That doesn’t happen very often, that I spell for her.
I was awaked between 1 & 1:30 AM with the sound of heavy rains and winds. We had to move our bed as the wind was blowing the rain into the window and some coming through and spraying on us. Rains have continued through the day. Mae and I drove around Munoz to check out the damages and found that they are still minimal. We stopped at Tony’s and ate breakfast and enjoyed visiting with Tony. Leah came shortly after we got there so we enjoyed visiting with her also. We took Tony some more books for him to read and a Book of Mormon in Tagalog for Allen. She is the girl that works for them and is their unofficial adopted daughter. They have another discussion today, so this evening when we checked with the Elders they said they are the elect and should be baptized in early September.
When we returned home, I wrote a letter to President Brimhall explaining a problem we have encountered in the Guimba 1st branch and asked his advice. I couldn’t get onto the enter-net to send it. I called President Cabuyaban and ask him how they were. He said that the winds woke him during the night also. He said he got worried so tried to wake Annie but she wouldn’t waken. He told her that they should at least have a prayer but she just slept through the night.
I went out to Guimba at 1:30 PM and picked up President Cabuyaban. We started checking on members and how they were doing. We soon found that many needing to evacuate their homes. We called President Mercado and got permission to open the chapel for shelter. We have six or seven families that we were unable to get to and do not what their situation is. The river is overflowing it banks and the water has came up at least 20 feet. I would guess that 25 to 50 % of Guimba is in serious flooding. We opened the chapel to any one that needed shelter but told them that there could be no smoking or drinking in the building or grounds. Some decided to go to the school instead but that is ok. It was after 9PM when we finally quite and went home. President Cabuyaban and I had a hamburger before leaving for home. I had to drive slow as many areas of the highway were under water. I got home at 9:45 PM and was very tired. Mae fixed me some hot milk with toast. I made my journal entry before going to bed.
President Brimhall called to see how we were doing and to ask about coming out tomorrow for interviews. I gave him a report of the Munoz and Guimba area as best as I could. He was glad to hear that we had opened the chapel for those that needed shelter. I told him that I was concerned about his safety in coming out tomorrow. I also reported to him at the progress with Tony & Leah.
Friday, August 27, 2004
I got up at
4:40 AM and we waited for President Brimhall’s call. When he called he said
that he wasn’t coming out as there is water over many of the highways. I
called the ZL’s and let them know. We went down to the District Development
but on the way President Cabuyaban texted us and ask if I could bring him some
money and help him. I texted President Mercado to see if funds were
available. He said President Dasalla would be over it, so I called President
Dasalla who ask me to get a check from Brother Damacio for P8,000. I got the
check from Brother Damacio and as we were leaving the church President and
Sister Mercado were walking towards the church house. I ask him to sign the
check and he told me we needed to take out P10,000 instead. We went back and
got another check. I cashed the checks and we took the money to President
Dasalla. He and Sister Dasalla came to the Guimba chapel with us. We met to
determine and plan what and how to handle the situation. President Dasalla
said that we were wrong in letting non-members come into the church and we
needed to get permission from President
Apao before we could use the building. I went outside and called President
Brimhall about the building and he gave permission and said he would call
President Apao. There was a lot of talk but I didn’t feel there was enough
positive action. I finally got them to make a list of food to buy, and then
Sister Browning and I took Sister Cortez and Dasalla, District R. S. President
and counselor, with us and we went to buy the food. I told President Dasalla
and President Cabuyaban that they need to determine the distribution. About
that time President Apao came and needed President Dasalla to go with him so he
turned everything over to President Cabuyaban. We purchased 4 sacks of rice,
noodles, canned sardines and plastic sacks to divide and distribute the food
in. We took the food to Brother & Sister Villanueva’s where sisters were
waiting to divide the food for distribution. Mae kind of took charge and
showed them how to organize to speed up the division. I took Brother Jun
Sextoe with me and we went to the plankie and I bought 400 meters of rope. My
biggest concern was the seven families that are trapped by the river wit no way
to get food to them. We went to a family’s home across the river from the
trapped families. They could shout instructions across the river. The tatay
then tied the rope around him and swam across the river. They then stretched
the rope across the river and secured it to trees on both sides. With it they
could pull themselves back and forth to cross the river. From there with Jun’s
help we then distributed food to several other families. It was late when we
finished the last of our deliveries. Mae and I left for home getting there
about 10 PM. We very tired and soon went to bed.
Saturday, August 28, 2004
We slept in and mainly relaxed today. This evening we went to Brother and Sister Pasardan’s and asks if they could help Brother & Sister Dallio with Family History. They will get with them tomorrow. President Gajonera came while we were there. He had received a text saying that San Antone was approved to hold Sacraments meeting only for now under the direction of the Branch Presidency. He did not know who sent him the text and was out of load so could not check. I texted him some load and we found that is was President Romos. We talked and they could get organized by the first Sunday in September. We then went to the Dallio’s and informed that Brother Parsardan would meet then at Church tomorrow. We came home and worked on catching my journal up as I was too tired last night to make an entry. We ate and did some preparation for tomorrow. It was 11 PM before we got to bed.
Sunday, August 29, 2004
We made it to Guimba by 7:30 AM and picked up President Cabuyaban on the way. President Cabuyaban informed us that all his pepper plants have died due to too much water. This is his third crop failure in a row. In P. E. C. we discussed the visits that had been made and checked to see if there was anyone still in need of help. This was also announced in meetings and none was brought to our attention. William told us that that his company just texted him last night to tell him that they were transferring him. They didn’t give him a choice but told him he either did or he would have to look for another job. That is really sad news. When we went to Sacrament meeting we found that none of the assigned talks were present, so Pres. Cabuyaban asked Mae to take as long as she wanted as he would have to speak the remainder of the time. Mae spoke on reverence, and then after meeting gave out quite bags to families with small children. Sister Myra Mata didn’t come today, so Sister Analiza Bacay substituted on the piano for us, without prior notice. One thing that was amusing, and you will only see it in the Philippines, is that I looked at the clock at the back of the chapel and there just above the clock was a butiqui. I was frustrated how the combined Priesthood and Relief Society meeting went. Finances were a little frustrating also. Mae also attended the Guimba 2nd Branch and talked in Sacrament meeting on reverence and gave out reverence bags there. All in all I came home very distressed. President Brimhall texted us, asking how we are doing? I had to answer & tell him that physically we were ok but are quite heart sick with the trials we see some of these people going through. I took the vouchers over to Brother Damacio’s but he won’t be able to cut a check until tomorrow. Mae was writing the family letter when I got home so I laid down and took a nap. I woke before Mae was finished. After she sent it we played one game of Rummy. Mae won.
(We sent this message to Pres. Cabuyaban and received the reply.)
Dear Pres. & Annie. Elder Browning and I are sitting here crying bcoz we r heartsick over ur recent trial of losing ur chili peppers. U have had many trials, but we know the Lord loves you and he will bless u as u continue faithful. We have had many trials in our lives also. We are on this earth to be tried and tested.  Tnk you. We love you.

We went walking this morning and it seemed good. We got on instant-messaging with Jeff, Mike, and Scott this morning. I went to the bank and met President Cabuyaban and made the deposit. I had texted Pres. C. that I wouldn’t be able to meet him until 11 AM at the bank but at 9:30 AM he texted me and said, “I’m here.” I don’t understand the thought process, why did he come early? I left and made the deposits and took care of the branch business. I got home just before lunch so took a few minute nap before we ate. Mae was able to get some e-mails sent. I called the P. B. O. after lunch and got some records changed. We went to San Jose and got our groceries and did some other errorns. On the way home we went to Tony’s and ate and visited with Tony and Alyn. Alyn was anxious to learn more about earning her Young Women’s Medallion. Mae enjoyed explaining it and visiting with her. The Elders and the AP’s came by while we were there. We found out that Elder Michel will be transferred to the Mission Home as AP. Elder Welch will be going home. Elder Welch and Elder Natad came by to get our monthly reports that go to the mission office. We enjoyed visiting with them for a few minutes. I figured our budget and entered my journal. Time goes by so fast and it was after 10 PM before we got to bed.
August 31, 2004
Instead of walking we cuddled back up in bed. We had the three Elders here for breakfast and correlation meeting. After the Elders left we got things cleaned up. Mae was busy with some church work and I took a nap. I got a CD burned of Crasandra & Ronald Datar’s wedding and we took it over to Ronald and showed it to him. We went to Tony’s and took some more books for him. He is really excited about the Gospel and is anxious about being baptized on the 18th of September. I met president Cabuyaban at 6PM and we went visiting 6 families tonight. I still come away from these visits feeling depressed over 1st not understanding the language so I have very little idea about what they are talking about and 2nd I don’t have any idea how to solve the problems that there is here. I was beat when I got home after 9 PM but we stayed up and talked for a while before starting to bed. While I was gone this evening, Mae had Crasandra Datar and Ronald’s sister, over to our place and trained them as Young Women leaders. She said that went very well.

Through organizing, wrangling and visualizing our datasets regarding
global HIV and ART coverage rates We have been able to make several
major conlcusions.
Based of the first bar chart on page one, we have
found that in the Eastern Mediterranean, the country with the highest
ART coverage among people with HIV is Jordan. In Africa, the country
with the highest coverage is Namibia, in the Americas it is Peru, in
Europe it is Italy, in the Western Pacific it is Australia, and lastly,
in South-East Asia it is Thailand. Overall, the Americas has the lowest
ART coverage for those with HIV and Africa and Europe have the highest.
The map visual on the second page, gave us insight on the proportion of
ART coverage to cases of HIV within regions globally. Through this map
we were able to reognize that many of the regions, Africa, the Americas,
and Western Pacific all have very similar proprotions , around 0.62-0.63.
We also saw the the Eastern Mediterranean has the lowest proprotion of
0.21, and Southeast Asia has the second lowest at 0.47. Europe has the
highest proprotion at 0.71. We see that since the Eastern Mediterranean
has the lowest proprotion of art coverage to HIV cases that countries
within this region need to prioritize getting ART and making it more
accessible to those suffering from HIV. From this map we also can see
that the Eastern Mediterranean also has the lowest total cases of HIV
out of all the regions, therefore this may be why they do not prioritize
ART coverage as much as regions such as Africa that have incredibly high
number of cases of HIV.
Lastly, the line chart on page three shows the trends of incidences of HIV,
death rates of HIV, and prevelance of HIV in countries globally between
1990-2017. We are able to infer from these charts for each country that
while there have not been decreases in incidences or prevleance of HIV
across time, there has been a stabilization and even decrease in deaths
for most countries across the globe. This trend is most likely due
to ART, which is able to help people with HIV maintain longer and healthier
lives, despite HIV still not being able to be cured fully.

There is a big world of interesting problems out there.
One of the great things about computer science is that you get to make things. You can turn pure mind stuff from your own imagination into reality. Its a field marked by creative inventors and people who solved deep and interesting problems. In celebration of what is truly a foundation of the field we present to you the CS106B contest.
The CS106B Contest is an open-ended program. Your mission is simply to submit a C++ program that uses the concepts covered before Jan 29th to solve a problem that is conceptually interesting. The experience tends to be rewarding in itself (and great practice for say the exams). But in recognition of great work we will be offering prizes. Here is a blank project that you can program your solution in:
Prizes will be offered in two categories:
Algorithmic complexity: This prize is based on the difficulty of the underlying programming task and the sophistication of your solution. Please let us know how much of the algorithmic ideas you develop on your own (though implementing a complex algorithm that someone else has previously invented is great too).
Creativity: This prize is based on the quality of the original ideas present in your work. Creativity takes many forms such as coming up with a novel problem to work on or making beautiful aesthetics.
Winning either category of the grand prize entitles you to substitute a 100% for whatever individual score most negatively affects your grade at the end of the term. Thus, if you win this contest and end up bombing an assignment, the midterm, or even the final, we will overlook that misstep and count it as a 100%. The second place prize will be a two grade increase on the maximally benefitial assignment score (eg check-plus becomes plus-plus).
Only students registered in CS 106B are eligible to submit entries.
You may not work in pairs. This is an individual project.
Only one entry per person will be accepted. An entry consists of the source files you have used in your project along with any data files the project requires.
All entries must be submitted electronically by 5:00P.M. on Monday, January 29, using the paperless submission system. Late entries will not be accepted. If you have an especially large submission, please contact us before hand.
To keep things fair you can only use the tools that we learn about in class (up to the due date of the contest) or described in the online documentation. For example, any graphical output must use only the facilities exported by the interfaces described in the online documentation available on the web site. Using more powerful native graphics libraries is not acceptable for this contest.
Contest entries should be sensitive to Stanford’s individual and cultural diversity. Programs or narratives that have the effect of perpetuating negative stereotypes will not be considered for prizes.
Contest entries will be evaluated initially by Chris Piech and Megan Faulk. The best entries will then be judged by the section leaders, Eric Roberts and Jerry Cain. They will choose the winners.
 Feel free to bounce ideas off the staff -- but ultimately the choice is yours. One of the concepts covered in assignment 2 is Breadth First Search. Using this technique you can solve a ton of interesting problems (Bananagrams is one example).
All the best. Enjoy the freedom.

THE CRYING GAME [Spoilers] A film review by Michael Stoneheel Copyright 1993 Michael Stoneheel [This reviews contains spoilers. You have been warned. -Moderator]
Usually, when evaluating a film I try to isolate the formalist elements and to analyze how they form aesthetics components which relate to the theme and sometimes to a certain meaning. This time it seems irrelevant to proceed in such a manner because the film is based on one and only one thing, namely the secret.
It is very easy to notice that the revelation of the secret shutters the expectations of the spectators. The cinema is the perfect media for such a turning point. No sentence could have such a sudden effect as the harsh visual exposure. Obviously, the exposure effects everyone, but how?
For a male spectator, it is the culmination of an erotic scene. Normally, he would identify himself with the hero, considering his love actions his own. When the true nature of the heroine is exposed so suddenly, the spectator is forced to react emotionally and to sympathize with the hero. The general feeling seems to be of a shock. What about the female spectator?
Even tough I am not a woman, I think that the mechanism of identification works for women in a symmetric way. Naturally, after the exposure the woman spectator has no one to be sexually identified with. The reaction of a woman spectator could be: "what?", "no!", "yes!", "at last!?", "Disgusting!", but the most reasonable one would be - "Definitely, it isn't I". From this point, the man spectator may succeed to put the feeling of astonishment behind (and this is not a simple task) and to reconnect to the hero, but the woman spectator seems to lost her contact with the main characters.
One may argue at this stage that I am missing the whole point, and that this film is not about sex, nor about love, but about our nature and about learning to accept each person as himself. After all how could we forget the frog and the scorpion?
It seems that such an argument makes sense.  We could extend this principle even further. A murderer hurts people in his nature, war is horrible in its nature, and this film is far from being perfect in its nature. If this film is about love, than love is one-sided or possible only in a detached way. If it is about morality, the ideas are superficial. The only valid interpretation seems to be that this film is about accepting the different as a beloved human being. Now, can the usage of the secret be justified?
It might be correct that in order to understand the different one has to believe that he is normal. Should we treat the heroine in a different way before the secret is exposed and at the end of the film? In fact, the heroine hasn't been changed. The only persons changed are us. It is not difficult to sympathize with the heroine because she is the only pure character in the film. Most of the men characters are terrorists, the two good men accept the heroine as she is, and the only woman character is detestable. The only problem is that it is very difficult to transcend beyond our expectations and beyond the shock.
Personally, I would prefer that such an important subject would be handled in a more directed fashion that could effect a larger audience. I might be totally wrong, but is seems to me that this film is another "womenless" film, directed by a man, intended mainly for men, and has no women main characters. The heroine itself is a substitute for a woman. I would rather see a film directed by a woman with balanced roles for both sexes. Why?
It is in my nature. Ladies and Gentlemen, what about yours?

RUSH HOUR Reviewed by Jamie Peck
For the record, I don't mind Tucker much at all. Sure, he can be as irksome as fingernails on a blackboard at times, but so could Jim Carrey back in his pre-"Truman Show" days. Rather, the problem with him in "Rush Hour" is that his squealy self and frantic antics just don't sit well with the role he's playing - a rogue LAPD detective named James Carter. Check out the opening scene (which genre fans know has ultimately _very_little_ to do with the rest of the film), in which Carter takes part in a sting operation to trap an explosives dealer. Um, could he or his cop-endangering shtick be any harder to swallow?
"Rush Hour" becomes a little more palatable once Jackie Chan enters the picture, cast as a Hong Kong inspector who teams up with Carter to crack the kidnaping of the Chinese Consul's 11-year-old daughter, a case that spans their respective countries. Chan fans might be disappointed by how little the master martial artist gets to simultaneously display his flair for physical comedy and killer moves; a scene where he battles bad guys while protecting the priceless exhibits in an art museum is classic Chan, a scene where his Carter-inspired use of a racial epithet gets him in trouble in a bar full of African-Americans is not.
That bit aside, "Rush Hour"'s humor of choice seems to be disparaging quips directed at Asians ("I've been lookin' for your sweet-and-sour chicken a--!" Carter screeches to a Chinese bad guy); it wouldn't be funny if it were the other way around, and it's not funny the way it is. Much more successful is the film's comedy when it plays up the culture clash between Chan and Tucker; this star and star-on-the-rise have a nice rapport both on-screen and off, the latter evidenced by the now-notorious Chan tradition of showing outtakes over the end credits. Here, it's good stuff worth sticking around for, especially when the two slip up together.
The title must refer to a gridlock of cliches instead of cars -- not only do we get the mismatched-buddy-cop story, we also get the fish-out-of-water and renegade-man-of-the-law angles and a climactic red-wire-or-blue-wire moment to top everything off. Though nobody will presumably accuse "Rush Hour" of breaking new cinematic ground, it's a tad on the disheartening side that this match made in odd couple heaven fails to enhance the familiar plot motions to memorable lengths.

Several web services are available that provide access to elevation data. This package provides access to several of those services and returns elevation data either as a SpatialPointsDataFrame from point elevation services or as a raster object from raster elevation services. Currently, the package supports access to the Amazon Web Services Terrain Tiles <https://aws.amazon.com/public-datasets/terrain/> and the USGS Elevation Point Query Service <http://ned.usgs.gov/epqs/>.
