We were late getting to bed last night and stayed up to see the New Year come in. There was fire works going off most of the night. This morning I woke at 5 but went back to bed at 6 and slept in. Mae got on the computer and wrote to our family, so I prepared breakfast of pancakes and eggs. We relaxed and got some things done but it was an enjoyable day. With not getting our money from the bank last week and having to pay cash for our hotel in Banaue rather than put it on the credit card, we are broke now. Marlin Dator came over and washed the car and we had to pay him in small change. I think this is the closest to being out of money that we have experienced since we have been on our mission. Oh well we have a full tank of gas for tomorrow and will go to the bank Monday morning. At 4PM we went to Tony and Leah’s for dinner. They had a wonderful dinner and then we put on “Lion King” for Kenneth to watch, while Tony, Leah, Alan, Mae and I played Mormon Bridge. Although it was their first time to play, Alan won. We then watched the movie, “The Book of Mormon”. We enjoyed it although we were late getting home. It was after 11 PM before we got to bed.

We were in such a hurry to leave on time that we forgot that today was Fast Sunday until we had eaten and were on our way. We left for Paniqui 3rd Branch at 7 AM and made very good time. We were there at 8:15 AM. Some including the Missionaries were there but the building wasn’t opened. We waited just a few minutes for the Branch President to arrive. There seemed to be a good attendance at meeting, the meeting started on time and I noticed that there was good reverence. Also a Sister was playing the piano for prelude music at least 15 to 20 minutes before meeting was to start. The Priesthood did a very good with the ordnance of the Sacrament. When the meeting was opened to testimony bearing several gave very good testimonies. Mae also bore her testimony in Tagalog and several felt her spirit. Both Mae and I went into Primary. They have a little to improve as they weren’t very well prepared. Mae gave sharing time and I gave a lesson during that time. After the normal meeting time I met with the Elder and the Branch President and scheduled some training. I trained the Sunday school Presidency and Mae trained the Relief Society Presidency. We felt that those trainings went well. It was at 3:30 PM and was very tired, so we took a nap. Mae cooked some dinner. After eating we did some work on the computer getting our day planner updated. I am still having some trouble with an infection in my ears. We are not sure just what to do or who we should see about it. One of our greatest concerns is the many people that are having such a struggle financially and / or with health problems and we don’t know how to help. Mission rules prohibit us from giving financial aid, but the sad thing is if we gave all we had it wouldn’t be enough. We have often had people do work for us or we buy something from them just to help them.
President Brimhall called this evening and told me that he had a white report from one of the Elders in the Paniqui District in which he had explained that one of their investigators reported that the turning point in his decision to be baptized came after he heard Elder & Sister Browning give a Home Teaching / Visiting Teaching fireside. He said he then wanted to be baptized and become a home teacher.

We got up and went walking this morning at the collage. It was really good to get the exercise again. After showering and getting dressed I prepared breakfast while Mae got on the computer and wrote some letters. We got on the instant messaging with Jeff and David for a while. The rest didn’t make it today. We went to San Jose to get money out of the bank; before we got there we realized that we hadn’t brought the checkbook. We had to go back but then when we were ready to go into the bank the zipper on my pants broke and I was wide open. I waited in the car while Mae went into the bank. We had planned on stopping at a Dr. to have my ears checked but with my pants in that condition we didn’t. Mae had to do the groceries shopping, get items at the drug store and mail letters while I waited in the car. When we got home we started dinner for this evening. I went to the phone company and paid the bill there. I also stopped at Marlyn’s and gave Arline Tobias another P100 for thread for a cross-stitch she is doing for us. We made pork roast for this evening but then Mae thought she should also cook a chicken casserole. At 6:20 PM I picked up Maria and Chiemela Anyanwu and their children for dinner with us this evening. Just before going to get them I was doing some searching in the encyclopedia and found that Seventh Day doesn’t eat meat. I ask Chiemela about it and they do eat some chicken so Mae’s casserole worked out perfect. After dinner we held a family home evening with them and sang songs. We did teach about the purpose of having Family Home Evening and the importance of the family. It was a very enjoyable evening. They brought us a basket of mangos and some home made bread. We got a lot of dishes dirty but had a good time. It was late when we got to bed.

We were late getting up so did not have time to walk. The three young men that are prospective missionaries from Munoz 1st branch were here at 7:30 AM.  We got to the Guimba District Hospital at 9:05 AM and they were ready for us. The nurses started with the youth and they had Mae and I go relax in the administrator’s office where it had air-conditioning. As we looked at the needs of the hospital, such as paint, desks, repair we realized how depressed this country is. In the U.S. you couldn’t run a veterinarian clinic that was in such needs. We needed to use the C. R. and they had us use the staff’s facilities. The men’s room was out of order and the women’s wasn’t in very good shape. Anyway the staff was very good to us and took the x-rays and did the examinations with out charge. They had us take the youth to Dr. Umipig. She finished the examinations and will have the x-rays read. We told her we would pay for that and she refused and said she would ask for a favor so there would be no charge. We came home and I took a short nap and then got ready to go to Paniqui 3rd Branch to train the Branch Missionaries. I got there right at 3:30 AM and soon the Elders and the branch missionaries came but no one had the key to the building. After 2 hours we still couldn’t get in so I rescheduled and came home. This evening we took some brownies to Maria and Chiemela’s. We then went to Tony and Leah’s and took them some items. We gave them a set of rook cards and taught them to play Rummy. Tony is quite upset with the Munoz 2nd branch and I have to admit that I don’t blame him. I get upset at the slothfulness also and read from the D & C 107:99-100. I wish I know how to preach that doctrine to the leadership in the Guimba District both in the District and the Branches. I get upset and then that makes Mae upset with me because I don’t have more patience.

We picked up Brother Julius Cabeso at the Caltex station at 7 AM and took him to Tarlac where we met President Montemayor who will arrange to have his needed dental work done. We picked up our camera at the Sony dealer. When we got to Clark Field we stopped at the bank and cashed a $300 check. We then went to Dr Rosales and got our teeth checked and cleaned. Elder & Sister Hyer came and we got to talk to them for a few minutes.  We took the car to the mission office to exchange it but no one was there. We went to McDonald’s and got some lunch and then went back. We paid our rent while we were there. Sister Brimhall came down and talked President Brimhall in to waiting until Saturday and just stopping by our place and exchanging cars then. We came home. I got on the computer for a while. Mae made us a sandwich for super. We got a test message saying that someone and Brother Nuque was going to come over but then later they texted back and said they would do it tomorrow instead.
Thursday, January 06, 2005
We got up and went walking this morning. It was good to walk again as we haven’t for several days. The only problem is Mae got after me three different times and that set me in a bad mood the rest of the day. There are days that I would just like to go home. Mae was on the computer for a while. I took some papers up to the book store to get copies for her. I made reservations at the Holliday Inn in Manila for us for the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th of February. I also texted Brother Dela Santos as to those dates, that we would like him to guide us. We went out to Guimba to Jared Cabuyaban’s 1st Birthday party. Brother Cabuyaban wants me to speak at a employment training program he is planning for the 3rd week of January. I’m not sure that I want to or exactly what he has in mind. We only stayed a few minutes and then went to visit a couple of others. We drove out West of Guimba looking for the Deliens but didn’t find them. It was really depressing to see the poverty that these people live in with very little hope of changing. I couldn’t help but wonder as to the purpose of life for so many. The Gospel is the only hope but that is so far away for so many. When we got home I printed some pictures off. Mark sent us a e-mail that is also upsetting of 4 people that were arrested for preaching against homosexual.
I am still having some problems with my ears but I think they are getting better.

We didn’t have time to walk this morning. We left shortly after 7 AM for Paniqui, stopping in Guimba at the Mercury Drug to get medication for Noemi. We got to the District center in Paniqui for the District Development Meeting but only four Elders were there. we called the Zl’s and found out that because President Brimhall is coming to hold interviews the meeting has been changed to 11 AM We drove over to Camiling and got our clothes from the tailor. We were very happy with them and ordered me two more pair of levis. When we got back to Paniqui we stopped at Cindy’s and got lunch. We then went to Moncada and took the medication to Noemi. We stopped to see Neida but she wasn’t home. We came back to Paniqui and went to Roger Tobbias’s and visited he and his wife. He gave me some material for a Filipino dress shirt. He said he couldn’t afford the shirt. We visited for a while and after leaving we drove back to Camiling to the tailors and asked her to make me a shirt. We then went to Gerona and visited President and Sister Nadado. We enjoyed a nice visit with them. On the way home we stopped in Guimba 3rd and visited Sister Lora and Sister Cortez. When we got to Munoz we visited Sister Mercado before going home. We got home at 7 PM so have been gone almost 12 hr. I had downloaded some pictures and we were just starting watch them when President and Sister Neito and Brother and Sister Nuque came to visit us. They came to find out our departure schedule and asked if the Branch could hold a farewell party for us on the 12th of February?
Saturday, January 08, 2005
We slept in but still went walking. We stopped at Maria & Chiemela and gave them the words of the song we had taught them of “We are a happy family”. They let us borrow the VHS that we had seen at their place. We will try to get it copied. We had a nice walk but were tired when we got back to the car. We came home and I prepared breakfast while Mae was on the computer. We thought we would have some time to relax today but before long it was time for me to leave to attend the Paniqui District General Priesthood meeting. President Nadado gave a talk on the organization of the Priesthood quorums and although it was in Taglish (Tagolog/English) I thought it went pretty good. I felt that some just wanted to find fault and did not look at the need to learn. President Romos was the concluding speaker and I just wanted to tell the Brethren that they really need to listen. His message was on “We get the blessings by obedience”. Along with some Filipino driving experiences, on the way home, I wasn’t in the best mood. We wrote an e-mail to David but when we went to send it we had been to long compiling it and were shut off. We also lost the letter so after eating dinner I recompiled the letter and got it sent. Time goes so fast and it is already time for bed. My ear is still giving me some trouble but I think it is getting better. I am having a lot of heartburn when I eat.
Sunday, January 09, 2005
It was a beautiful Sunday morning. I felt special feelings as I read from the Book of Mormon this morning. I am in the book of Ester as Moroni is explaining Faith, Hope and Charity. Oh if the world could only feel these truths and realize the great need for repentance and the turning of our lives to Jesus Christ. We traveled out to Paniqui 3rd branch. Traffic was about normal or a little worse as we traveled. I had a lady on a bike pull right out in front of me and I had to slam on the brakes to stop from hitting her. She just looked at me as if to ask what I was doing there. a fellow on a moter cycle was behind me and he just stopped before hitting me in the back. He just smiled and we went on. As we traveled Mae played some Primary songs on the CD player and practiced them so she could teach them to the Primary children. We arrived early for meeting but most of the members arrive early for meeting. The Branch Presidency is on the stand and ready for meeting to start on time. There is one Sister that is early and playing a prelude as the members arrive. I wish all the branches would follow this pattern. During Sacrament meeting, the counselor that was conducting leaned over to me and said that one of his speakers did not come. Well, you can guess what he wanted. Would I be the concluding speaker? I nodded that I would, but did not realize that the other three speakers would only take a total of 10 minutes. I had 35 minutes to talk. It is amazing how the Spirit of the Lord can help. I used a song, turned to a couple of scriptures, quoted from a article we had read from the Ensign and from an account we had read of when President Hinckley had visited the Philippines, and my time was up. I really felt the guidance of the Spirit and the power of the message I had just given. Tears were in my eyes when I set down. I can certainly testify of the Lord’s love for us. Mae and I went into Primary and the Presidency was a little better organized than last week but not much. Mae gave an opening message, taught a song, lead the sharing time. I left to go into the Aaronic Priesthood classes but the counselor ushered me into the Elders Quorum class. Following the Block I trained the Elders Quorum President. His counselors are not active and I advised him to make it a matter of prayer and ask that they be released and two new counselors be called. My training with him went well but I had the Elders with me to translate as the President is not very good with English. I was also at a disadvantage as there was no power so I couldn’t use the power point presentation I was prepared with but just had to use the caulk board. I was also going to train the Y.M. Presidency at 2 PM but the counselors were not at church so the President asked if I could do it tomorrow before I train the Branch Presidency. Mae trained the Primary Presidency after the block and then the Y.W. Presidency at 2 PM, which will about complete the training that Mae will give during our mission. As we were about to leave Paniqui a boy lost control of his basket ball and it went right in front of me. He started to follow the ball but then jumped back out of the way. I slammed on the brakes and missed the ball and boy. That is just normal driving in the Philippines. We were both very tired when we got home so ate and laid down for a short nap. Tomorrow will be busy and I need to prepare material for tomorrows trainings. I am not sure if the power will be on or not.
Monday, January 10, 2005
We got up and went walking. We met the man from Nepal that we had referred to the Elders. He said that he had attended our church meeting but we were not there. We explained that we go to other branches to do training and that we were not in this branch very often. We will try to come with the Elders the next time they visit him. After returning to our home we showered and I prepared breakfast. Mae was going to start a letter to our family but was answering messages on our cell phone the hole time. While we were still eating Sister Christine Pilien and Arlene Topias came to show us the cross stitch Arlene is doing for us. They stayed and talked to Mae, so I got on the computer and started the instant messaging with David. Mike soon got on, then Scott and finally Jeff. When Arlene & Christine left then Mae came and took over the typewriter as she is much faster than I. After the boys got of, I took a nap. Mae woke me for lunch just before 12. As we started to eat, Sister Nida Valentino and Imelda Baiola came to visit. I had to eat ands leave for Paniqui 3rd branch. When I got there the branch presidency and the Young Men presidency were there. I had a good training with the Y.M. Presidency and it was good to have the branch presidency there also. I excused the Y.M. after that training and then we went through the Branch Presidency training. Both trainings went very well. I called Mae as I started home. Before we finished it cut me off because I was out to load. Tony had tried to call so after adding some time to the phone I called him. We will try to meet with them next week. Tony said that it looked good as to starting to work with the drilling company. We hope it works out for him. It was 8 PM when I got home. Mae said that Nida ask her if she was going to have a treatment and when she told her that she didn’t think so, Nida said they couldn’t afford to go home then. So Mae had a treatment. Mae said that Marlyn had stayed and visited for a while. She told Mae that her branch president told her not to tell the Browning’s, but the party on the 12th would be a surprise party with all the District attending. Mae said she had trouble not laughing when she told her that. After getting home we had some toast and milk. I then typed my journal entry. We often play a game or two of spider solitary before going to bed, if it isn’t too late. It seems to relax us.
Tuesday, January 11, 2005
I woke at 4:14 this morning but woke Mae at 5:00 AM. We went walking at CLSU and walked for almost a hour. That mad us hurry in order to have breakfast ready for the Elders. We enjoyed having them with us and enjoyed the time to correlate our activities. After they left we got on the computer and I wrote a letter for President Mercado with a copy to President Brimhall. We also updated the list of prospective missionary list and printed them out. I left about 12:30 for Tarlac to take our camera back in for repairs, but when they turned it on it worked ok. I went to Paniqui 3rd branch and held a training session with the branch missionaries and the full time Elders. It was 6:30 PM when I got home. Mae stayed here and worked on the computer and wrote her talk for the Daddy Daughter party on Saturday. I am sure tired this evening.
Received an e-mail from President Brimhall which I will attach. He received my letter and updated list of prospective missionaries.
Dear Presidents Ramos and Montemayor and Elder and Sister Maharry,
Just thought that you'd like to see this comprehensive report prepared by
Elder Browning. This type of effort and report could be extremely helpful
in the all of our member districts. I'd like to have every District
Presidency ask their branch presidents to do this type of analysis. Also
our full time missionaries will be asked to assist their Branch Presidents
in contacting each of the potential missionaries and invite them to meet
with the Branch President and receive from him the "Call To Prepare To
Serve
A Mission!"
I'm confident that this could help generate favorable results that would
help "establish the Church" in our five member districts and Baler.
Warmest regards,
Pres. Brimhall

I didn’t feel good when we went to bed last night and so we were late getting to sleep. When the alarm went off, I turned it off and went back to sleep. In fact I don’t remember turning it off but Mae says that I did. Mae let me sleep until I woke at 6:30 AM when the Filipino came on his bike with his horn honking to sell his goods. We got up and went walking but didn’t get back until 8:30 AM. Marlyn came before we had our breakfast and showers. We stopped on our way home at the Elders to give them the report on prospective missionaries and to get our mail. Sandi sent us a set of 6 CD’s on Latter Day Saint music, for our Christmas gift. We also got a card from Leah Jones with $10 in it. There was a letter from Roy & Linda, Georgia & Rick, Uncle Van & Aunt Allison and from Kathy Rueckert from the Country View Ward. The Elders said we got the most of all the missionaries. After breakfast Mae worked on the computer and I lay back down and took a nap. This after noon we went to San Jose grocery shopping. We then worked on a presentation Mae is going to give Saturday at the Paniqui District Daddy Daughter party. This evening we went over to Brother & Sister Bostos and visited for a couple of hours. They seemed to enjoy having us and we enjoyed being there. we did have to listen hard to understand them. We got home at 9:30 PM and I filled in my journal entry.
Thursday, January 13, 2005
We went walking at the collage this morning. We worked on the computer most of the day. I took time this afternoon to get the car washed. While waiting for the car to be washed I read the Book of Mormon and completed it again. As I complete that book, my testimony of it increases but I often think that I do not know if there was ever a time that I did not believe that the Book of Mormon was and is the word of God and that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and the translator of that sacred record. I know that the Church of Jesus Christ was restored through the Prophet and that it is lead by a Prophet today. This has always been a comfort to me. This evening I also went to Brother & Sister Pasarden and got a drill motor so that I might hang the Relief Society Declaration in the Guimba Chapel tomorrow. We worked on the presentations until 10 PM. Mae also baked a cake for the Elders for tomorrow. This evening Mae made a tuna noodle casserole for dinner. We wanted a western dish for a change. President Neito came by to give us the year end donation statement. He also told us that on the 12th of February they will have a Guimba District combined Sweetheart and Farewell party for us.
This e-male came to me from President Mercado:
Dear Elder Browning,
I know you're not a superman, all of us cannot do everything we wanted to do, the same sentiments was felt by Alma during his ministry; and that is wonderful because it left our successor's work to start and continue with. Your accomplishment and contribution to our district is phenomenal and beyond our ability to comprehend. The lives you've touch and the memory that will be left in our heart is one of our sweetest association in the service of the Master; your legacy is a concrete example of Christ like love! Sure appreciate the miraculous work you've done. THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!
President Mercado
Friday, January 14, 2005
We had some problem getting up this morning and could have turned off the alarm and gone back to sleep for a while, but I needed a hair cut and we know that we would have to hurry in order for Mae to do that and still get to meeting on time. We got up and began our day. Although we got to the Guimba chapel at 9 AM the Elder’s had already started. We enjoyed the District Development meeting. Mae had made a cake for the Elders that she served after the meeting. We then went into the market place and purchased a masonry drill bit. We went back to the chapel and with the use of the drill motor I borrowed last night set a screw in the wall of the Relief Society room. I then hung the framed Relief Society Declaration that Mae had given to the Relief Society Sisters. We then took Elder Bingham and Elder Packer with us to the Guimba General hospital where we talked with the Dentist about doing the dental work for the prospective missionaries. After taking the Elders back to the house I told them that we were going to visit the Doria boys. The Elders told me that they had both passed away. I informed Mae and we did feel bad. We went to visit their parents and found out that they had a nice Christmas, and then on the 27th Fernando got feeling bad and leaned over and died. That night Anton said he wanted to go with Fernando and the next morning he also passed away. We were very sad for the things that had not been done but are happy for Fernando and Anton as we know they are out of pain and happy in the arms of our Lord. I felt bad that the communication with Brother and Sister Doria was so hard. I just wished I could have shared a strong testimony and encouragement with them.
We came home and worked on changing our Home Teaching – Visiting Teaching the rest of the evening. Mae was just a little upset with me but she went along with it. I took time to return the drill motor and fill the car up with gas. We continued working on presentations until after 11 PM.
Saturday, January 15, 2005
We had to hurry to get to Paniqui 3rd at 8:30 AM so we would have time to set up, but when we got there know one was there so we took a nap. A couple came at 8:55 in their kuliklik. He didn’t have keys but Mae has always wanted to have her picture take in a kuliklik so she asked him if we could take pictures with us in it. He was very happy to let us and other soon came and joined in the picture. The Branch President never got there with the key until 9:30 but he did have an excuse as his motorcycle had a flat tire when he went to come this morning. Our training went well but lasted for over two hours. We went over to Camiline and had lunch with the Maharry’s at Jollibees. After eating we went over to their place while Sister Maharry copied some primary material for Mae. We came back to Paniqui and we stopped on the side of a road and I took a short nap while Mae studies more on her presentation. We went to the District Center to attend the Daddy Daughter party. They had a full program so Mae didn’t have to give her talk. It was late when we got home and to bed.
Sunday, January 16, 2005
We were very tired but got up when the alarm went off at 5 AM. We were a little late leaving for Paniqui but still made good time and were there at 8:30 so we had time to set up the Primary room. The branch president had us set on the stand. Again, the counselor leaned over to me and asked if I would be the concluding speaker. I said that Sister Browning would. I then informed her that she would speak. She did a marvelous job, using some of her talk that she didn’t give last night. We went into Primary and it was a disaster! There was no preparation so Mae and I almost took over. I used the computer and showed some of the slides from my presentation on Christ. We also used the computer to play the music for the Primary songs. I ran the computer while Mae taught the song. I left Primary at the time the lessons were to start and was going to the Y.M. but there wasn’t any so I went into the Elders Quorum meeting. I was quite impressed with the brother that gave the lesson. After meeting I found out that he is a visitor but wants to find a job in the area and move here. He presently lives in Manila and is a teacher. He wants to get out of Manila. He had been married but his wife went abroad against his feelings and she is now living with another man. He is trying to get the marriage annulled, but that can be hard here in the Philippines. I also had a chance to visit with Elder Johnson and I think I gave him hope. Mae stayed after the block and trained the Primary Presidency on holding Presidency meeting weekly. She said that the rest of the Primary time wasn’t much better after I left. We hurried and went to Guimba 3rd branch as Mae had a training scheduled there with the Relief Society Presidency. We got there on the scheduled time but the building was locked up and no one there. We called and the presidency was at a wedding reception. When they came they didn’t have a key so we went down to Sister Cortex home, she is the District R.S. President and lives by the chapel, and Mae asked if they could meet there. She invited them in and Mae trained for almost two hours there. We got home about 4:30 PM very tired. While Mae warmed up some dinner I down loaded the pictures from the camera. After eating I entered this journal entry. Mae lad down and took a nap. Roger Silvia texted and ask if we could come to their place on Monday evening, as it will be Karen’s birthday. I texted back and explained that we already had an appointment. He wanted us to come after the FHE but again I explained that it was a Farewell for Tony and I was sure we would be late. I texted Roger again and said we could stop Monday about 5 PM or come over this evening. He asked if we could come this evening so we went down. The branch presidency was holding PEC and had all the presidency, clerk and executive secretary, the full time missionaries, the branch mission leader and the three potential missionaries as they are working every week with the full time missionaries. We were invited to set in with them. They were doing great and asked our advice in many matters. They were all excited with the way the work of the Lord is going and the results they are seeing come about. They thanked us for the trainings we had given their branch while we were there the month of October, and felt they had helped their branch a lot. We were excited also to see such success. After the meeting ended and everyone left we stayed to visit with Roger and Heidi for a few minutes. Heidi brought her father in to meet us.  He is a very good looking man and we had a very pleasant visit with him and his wife. We do enjoy being with Roger & Heidi and are surly going to miss them when we go home. It was late when we got home so we just went to bed.
Monday, January 17, 2005
We slept in this morning and it seemed very good. It was 6:30 AM before I got up and Mae slept until 7 AM. We showered and ate breakfast and then I got on the enter-net and got our bank statement. Jeff and Gail got on instant messaging with us but none of the other children came on. Jeff and I played a game of Hearts for a few minutes. Marlin Dator came and washed our car for us. Marlin asked me about his new house they are building and before we finished we got talking about insulation. He was quite excited about it but we had to quit as Marlyn had dinner ready for us. I took a nap while Mae typed the messages that were on our phone. We went shopping in San Jose for our groceries, ate dinner at Jollibees, took a roll of film to have developed and bought some Tylenol. After getting home and putting some of the groceries away we left for Tony and Leah’s. Mae texted the Elder’s and they wanted to ride down with us, so we came back and got the four of them. President and Sister Neito, Brother and Sister Nuque, Brother Michael and his daughter Mishelle, Brother and Sister Marlin Dator and Ronalyn Dator all came. Leah’s parents also came over so we had quite a large group. Brother Nuque led us in some games and then gave a good lesson. Tony & Leah then served us a wonderful dinner along with the brownies Mae had brought. During the evening Mae was visiting with Elder Bingham and Elder Hatch and she saw a rat running back and forth across the entertainment center and then it jumped from there to the back of the couch and ran off. She said it was good that she hadn’t been setting on the couch as she would have screamed. It was a wonderful evening and Tony and Leah had prepared a lot of very good food. We got the Elders back to their place at 9:32 PM. Tony & Leah had done this in our honor. It was a special evening.
Tuesday, January 18, 2005
We slept in until almost 6 AM and so didn’t have time to go walking. The Munoz Elders came for breakfast and then the Zl’s had correlation with us. After correlation meeting Mae cleaned the stove while I worked on a letter to President Brimhall. At noon we took two of the young men from the Munoz 1st branch to Guimba General Hospital and had their dental work done. The dentist only charged us P300 and the hospital didn’t charge us anything. We brought the boys back to their home and then came on home. Tony wanted to come to our place with Alyn but when we texted him to tell him that we would be home soon, he texted back and wanted us to come down there and to eat with them. They again had a wonderful dinner and we enjoyed being with them. Alyn visited with Mae about her personal progress. After eating we watched the Lion King with Kenneth. We got home just after 9 PM.
Wednesday, January 19, 2005
We got up and went walking this morning even though I didn’t sleep very well last night. Mae was on the computer most of the day. I was on helping her with the transitions of her presentation but other than that I stayed off. I went over to Maria & Chiemela’s and bought two loafs of bread. I then went to San Jose and took a VHS to have it recorded to a DVD. This evening we went to Paniqui 3rd and attended Mid-week activity. They had 41 youth and leaders out, most of them were Y.W. We had gone prepared to be called on to do the activity but the leaders had it well organized and had a good activity night. Mae took brownies thinking that 24 pieces would be enough but had to cut them in half. It was 9:30 PM when we got home. I entered my journal, played a game and went to bed.
Thursday, January 20, 2005
We woke early and went walking at the college; I upset Mae this morning, because I spoke wrong when she was trying to get a short message to Sandi. She has been trying to reach Shellie for two or three days and hasn’t been able to get through. By the time we finished the walk she felt better. Mae did more preparation on her presentation for Saturday. She also did training for the Munoz 1st branch Relief Society Presidency this after noon. I went down and bought some anti-inflammatory pills for Mae in hopes that they will give her some relief from the pain in her back and neck. I had some information to send to the office by e-mail. I spent a couple of hours or more trying to get the inter-net connections before I could get the information sent. While on e-mail, I sent a short e-mail to Scott asking him if he knows yet, when the date is set for us to give our missionary report. Mae & I did spend time cleaning up some of the computer files. Time goes by so fast.
Friday, January 21, 2005
We had to go to District Development meeting in Paniqui this morning so didn’t have time to go walking. It was a good meeting and we enjoyed being with those Elders probably for the last time. Mae took out a cake for them and we took some pictures. We went to Camiline and got our clothes from the tailor. I am very pleased with the Barong (Philippine National Dress Shirt) that she made for me out of the material that Roger Tobbias gave me. We went over to Jollibees for lunch. Mae had texted the Maharry’s but they didn’t text back. We later found out that she had sent the message to Sugar by mistake. When we got to Jollibees, the manager asked us if we were part of the group of missionaries that had an area reserved. We figured from that, that the Zone was coming to eat as a farewell to the Maharry’s. They did come a few minutes later so we got to talk to them for a few minutes. We stopped at Brother & Sister Lora’s in the Guimba 3rd branch on our way through there, as Mae wanted to give Sister Lora the Christmas tree that the Country Creek Ward Primary sent us last year. They gave us a “Jack Fruit” that they picked from their tree. We have heard about them but never had one until now. Next, we went to the Guimba District Hospital where Mae took in thank you cards for the staff and the dentist for helping with the prospective missionaries. We tried to find Christopher but his family has moved out of the area. We went to President Dela Cruz and found Roda. She was so glad to see Mae and was pleased that we had stopped.  We encouraged her and told her that we would be glad to help with the medical and dental expenses if she would get it done right away while we are still here. We were tired when we got home as it had been 10 hours since we left this morning. I took a nap while Mae worked on her presentation for tomorrow. Mae woke me for dinner, then after eating she went through her presentation a couple more times. I then got on the computer and checked our e-mails. I then filled in my journal entry. While waiting for Mae I played a couple of games on the computer.
Saturday, January 22, 2005
We got up at 4:30 AM and left for Paniqui by 6:30 AM. We got there at 7:40 AM but the building was still locked up. It was after 8 AM when we got into the building but no one was there, except the YW District Secretary, who had come to decorate. The Y.W. New Beginning’s program was to start at 8 AM. By 9 AM there were quite a few young women and young women leaders but none of the District Presidency. By 9:30 AM we told the Y. W. president that they should start. President Nadado had problems at home and couldn’t make it, but his counselors came about 9:45. The program was very nice and Mae did a super good job with her presentation. After the program, we went to Cindy’s and got some lunch. We got to Guimba 3rd building by noon so we laid back and took a nap. We went in by 1 PM as that is the time that Guimba district Y.W. New Beginning’s program was scheduled to start. It didn’t get started until 2:15 PM so I guess both programs started on Filipino standard time. Just before the Guimba District program started, Sister Gasmena asked Mae if she would speak on the Y.W. Personal Progress Program, as the sister who was asked to speak, had not come. Mae did a wonderful job and truly had the Spirit with her. As the program concluded Sister Gasmena announced that Elder Browning would be the concluding speaker. I just had to say a short prayer for guidance and went with the Spirit and felt that direction. It continues to amaze us as how often the Lord has to bless us beyond our abilities. We were very tired when we got home again tonight. Mae prepared dinner while I worked on the computer. Mae went through some of our pictures files and sorted them. I then made copies on CD so that we have a backup in case anything should happen to our computer. We worked most of the evening on this and were late getting to bed.
Sunday, January 23, 2005
We got up at 5:30 AM and was ready to leave for Paniqui 3rd branch at 7:30 AM but traffic was bad this morning and we got to church about 10 to. President Nadado was there so I didn’t have to worry about speaking. I suggested to the Branch President, after Sacrament meeting, that they consider moving the Primary to a larger room. When I came in with Mae’s primary bag, they had made the move. I think that will be better for the Primary. Mae attended Primary again and again it wasn’t very well planned. She stayed after the block and gave the Primary Presidency some more training, over 2 hours worth. I attended the youth Sunday school and that went very well. The Branch President’s daughter taught the lesson and she did a very good job.
After Sunday school President Nadado wanted to speak to me, so we visited in the hall. After visiting for a few minutes he asked if I thought the Paniqui District was ready to become a Stake. I told him that they were the closest of any of the Districts, but asked him how many of the Elders Quorum’s were functioning. He said four. I then told him that if they became a Stake they would have a High Priest group in each Ward besides an Elders Quorum. Would they be able to get enough Priesthood to fill 8 groups? I talked to him about getting more Priesthood by either activating Brothers or converting more families. I told him that getting more missionaries would give him more returned missionaries for Priesthood leaders. I talked to him about Home Teaching to activate families. Primary and Aaronic Priesthood programs will prepare missionaries. I also, talked to him about the visiting of prospective missionaries and the success we are getting in the Guimba District. He asked me how much longer we would be here? When I told him, he had three requests: #1 that I train the new Branch President in the Gerona Branch, #2 that I take one hour on the 5th of February, in the District meeting, and train all the Branch Presidents and #3 that we extend our mission call for another year. I told him I would do the first 2 requests, but to do the 3rd he would have to go to the Mission President, who would have to go to the Area President, who would have to go to the First Presidency, who would say no; so he had just as well save the time and effort.
When we got home, I got on the computer and printed some pictures that Mae wanted. She prepared a Fried Chicken dinner. It was the best dinner that I have had since we came on our mission. After eating, Mae took a nap while I cleaned up the kitchen and made this entrance in my journal. We stayed up late working on the computer. When we went to bed we couldn’t sleep as the neighbors two houses down are having a party with a band and kept it up late. I finally went to sleep but Mae didn’t sleep well. She got up and did more work on the computer.
Monday, January 24, 2005
I got up about 5:45 AM but Mae didn’t sleep well last night so I let her sleep until almost 8 AM. The morning went fast. At 10 AM we got on the instant messaging with Jeff and Gail, then David came on for a while and Scott came on also. We enjoyed visiting with them. They are special and we enjoyed having their wife’s and some of the children also get on. Marlin came and washed our car while we were on line with our family. Marlyn of course came and did the house work and prepared lunch. Nadia came about noon so we had her eat with us. As we were visiting, during lunch with Nadia and Marlyn, they told us that many Filipino’s do not understand the Tagalog that the manuals and Book of Mormon are written in, so they use the English version at the some time to get a better understanding. After lunch Nadia gave us a treatment. We had to hurry to get to the bank and made it just in time. We closed out our account with the Bank of the Philippines and have enjoyed the experience with this branch. We especially enjoyed the two employees there that have always helped us with our transactions. We gave both of them a Book of Mormon with our testimony and picture in it. Both said they would read it and gave us their e-mail address so we could contact them after we go home. We went shopping at CVC for some groceries and while there Mae gave a Book of Mormon to the artist that has his stand there. He has been enjoyable to visit with as we go there. We stopped at a computer shop and got a CD that I had them copy for me. Also we had them check our laptop keyboard. They said they couldn’t repair it there. We got a pair of shoes repaired for Mae and picked up some pictures that we had developed. When we got home some of the neighborhood children came running to receive a lollypop. I told Mae that when we leave to go home, the children will remember us as the Sister that gives out lollypops and the adults will remember us as the Browning’s that brings Brownies as treats and the Elders will remember us for serving them breakfast. I heated some dinner while Mae worked on the computer. After eating Mae got back on. I fell asleep in the chair and woke about 8 PM. I showered and made this entry and it was time to go to bed.
Last week when we went to Sister Lora’s, Brother Lora gave us a “Jack Fruit”. It is about as large as a Utah watermelon but is very rough. They told us to let it ripen a few more days before cutting it. We decided to cut it. After cutting it in half I found that the knife had glue on it and was very hard to clean off. Mae then said that she had forgotten to tell me that I was to put oil on the knife and also on my hands. I wasn’t impressed with what I saw so didn’t want to try the fruit. Mae later tried a little but I think we will just throw it out.
Tuesday, January 25, 2005
We got up and went walking although we had to cut it short in order to get home and get breakfast ready for the Elders. I didn’t shower as I had showered before going to bed last night. I did that to wash off all the powder and oil Nadia uses on you for a treatment. The Elder’s came early this morning so while we were preparing food we visited. We had a good correlation meeting after breakfast. There were some changes to our schedule that they informed us of. A question was asked which stimulated my thought for the training that President Nadado wants me to give on the 5th. I made some notes for that training. I had some errorns to run and one of them was to see Dr. Umipig about the x-rays of the prospective missionaries. She informed me that she had the best radiologist that she knows read the x-rays. He said that the film was blurry because the film was old but he said all four of the youth were clear with no problems. That was good news. She also expressed her love and appreciation for us and the work we have given. I took the CD, that we had duplicated from the video, back and they will try again. Mae went visiting with Sister Imelda Dator, the Munoz 2nd R. S. President, to sisters that are not attending regularly. I worked on a letter to Elder & Sister Read, new couple missionaries that will be arriving just after we leave. I also got a hour nap. Just as Mae returned home we got several phone calls and a lady and a girl came to visit. This is the aunt of a little girl we have seen that has a club foot. We have been trying to find her and were finally able to. We filled out the paper work and got pictures to send into the Mabuhay Desert Foundation to get help for this beautiful girl. The girls names is Merphyll V. Corpuz. Her mother has left the family and is living with someone else and does not want the children. She had three children, the oldest daughter got married at 14, the next son has ran off and they don’t know where he is. This aunt is trying to raise this girl, but she isn’t very well off financially so this would really be helpful to them. We have Merphyll’s picture in our picture files. Roger Silvia called about the interviews for the prospective missionaries. I told him to have them come at 9 AM and will let him know if I find out different. I worked quite a while on a letter to the Read’s.
Wednesday, January 26, 2005
We got up and went walking. We had to hurry with showers and breakfast in order to get down to Munoz chapel for interviews. We were able to get in line quite early. We enjoy our interviews with President Brimhall. He is so positive and always has a complement for us. Today he told us that before the Clarks left the office and went to the Palayan area they were telling him that we were marathon missionaries and it made them tired just to listen to all that we do. We talked to him about the prospective missionaries, also I asked him about monthly reports and wondered how goals can be set if reports are not reviewed. He agreed and said that along the Wasatch Front it might work but he thinks that Elder Oaks may rethink this area. He asked if I would attend a special training for all Stake and District Presidency’s on Saturday from 9 AM to 3 PM. We seemed to be busy all day and did take time to go to San Jose and took the bad recording back and got a refund. We then tried to find a PLDT office but couldn’t. When we got home Mae called the PLDT Co. and they told her that they didn’t have an office in San Jose. We are not sure because the lady that she was talking to didn’t know that there was one in Munoz. We did get the letter mailed requesting help for Merphyll. Mae cooked a nice meal while I made some more backups on the computer. WOW! If you want to get an e-mail tell everyone you are closing your land line and you won’t be able to receive any more e-mails. We got about six this evening. We were up late answering e-mail and getting things ready for tomorrow.
Thursday, January 27, 2005
We expected to eat breakfast at the church but when we got there the ZL’s had forgot to tell Tony that we were coming and so we had to come home and fix us something to eat. We went back to the church at 9 AM. It was a very enjoyable Zone conference. I am amazed at the information that President Brimhall seems to have at his recall. His theme was on the “Atonement”, and he did a marvelous job. Sister Brimhall is always so good and usually gives the Elders some personal advice in a very appropriate way. The theme of her talk was “Don’t make light of sacred things.” Mae and I were given the opportunity to give our testimony as this is our last Zone Conference. We came home and took a nap and then I worked on the computer cleaning up many of our files and getting things backed up for safety in traveling. We got some more e-mails and cleaned up those files.
Friday, January 28, 2005
We got up and went walking this morning at the collage. Marlyn came before we had breakfast. We spent most of the day sorting files, working on the computer and just getting organized so we are ready to go home. I went over to Maria’s and got two loafs of bread this evening. Roger & Heidi come over this evening just to visit. Tony and Leah also stopped for just a few minutes. Roger helped me with a couple of problems on the computer. Before going to bed, Mae gave me a hair cut.
Saturday, January 29, 2005
I got up early so I would be ready to leave at 7:30 AM. I let Mae sleep in as she was very tired. President Mercado, President Gasmenia and Brother Damacio rode with me to Cabanatuan where we attended an Area Presidency Leadership training. Elder Mains presided and gave the major part of the training. It was very good and exciting to see the goals they are asking for the Districts and Stakes to work towards. Mae stayed home and worked all day packing. I feel like I am letting her do most of the packing and it makes me feel a little guilty. I am concerned at the amount of things we have to take home but I need to just keep my mouth shut and we will see how it works out. I took a short nap and then we went down to Tony and Leah’s for a Birthday Party for Alan. Her Birthday is February 2nd but they are having the party this evening. This is the 1st party and Birthday cake she has ever had. There was a good group of youth that came and they all seemed to have a good time. Tony and Leah had prepared a nice meal. We ate until I was stuffed. It was 9 PM when we got home, but it was a good evening. I made this journal entry while Mae showered and washed her hair.
Sunday, January 30, 2005
We attended the Gorona Branch this morning. I had a very good day but it didn’t go that well for Mae. I went into the youth Sunday school and the Teachers quorum while Mae went into Primary. Primary was a disaster as only the 2nd counselor showed up and she wasn’t prepared. Mae started pulling things out of her “Mary Popins” bag and took over. After the block of meetings I trained the Branch Presidency. That training went well. While I did that Mae visited with Bessie Nadado and they enjoyed having that time together. When we got home I went to the ZL’s home and got the reports on the prospective missionaries. I got those updated and printed off and sent by e-mail to President Brimhall and President Mercado. Mae has been busy getting ready for us to leave in the morning for our first week of touring. We are getting close to the end of our mission and so much to try to get done.
Monday, January 31, 2005
We got up at 4 AM and got away at 5:30 AM. We got to the church in Mabalacot at 7:30 AM but the AP’s and ZL’s were not there. The janitor was there and let us in. He said that he had come at 5 AM and no one had been there. We were on the way to the mission home when they called. We met the office Elders at the office and they gave us directions to the PLDT office. We stopped at the frame company and got the Proclamation that we had him frame for us. We tried to find the PLTC office but couldn’t. We stopped and got gas in the car and I asked the attendant where it was and it was on another street. We were able to get it taken care of. We drove to San Fernando and then went west to the ocean and from there we drove up along the western sea shore. It was very beautiful and enjoyable. We stopped a couple of times and went to the sea shore so we could take pictures. We got to Alaminos about 6:30 Pm but were another hour finding where the motel was. We never did find the one Emie told us about but found a nice hotel at the 100 Islands area and stayed there. It cost us P850 per night. I figured our budget; Mae typed all the phone messages of our cell phone, and after I tried to make this entry but was too tired. With Mae’s help we finished t the next day.

Importance of Data
The survival of any type of organization requires data to function properly, without it they will be direction less and main goals obscured with individual agendas taking most control while leaving the bigger picture agenda for the whole group lacking focus. In order for it to be a successful operation, both agendas personal and bigger agenda must align or have similar focus/end goals . This requires data of both parties and including their target audience. That could be used for commercial, governmental, military,scientific, educational, etc.
In which will be sub-categorized into smaller and more defined goals & objective requirements, such as civilian use,
private security, public security, public so and so, private so and so, what is the reason for this? who will use
it? what is the cost? How can we achieve this? What is the end result? How long will it take? Who will operate it?
Who will etc & etc. This will further become more defined over time, as more data is acquired.
Anyhow the rest of the information in regarding to acquiring data can be found on here Does IT Matter? In which will
get into depth of the process & the continuous cycle of innovating new ways to do objectives more efficiently
which in turn requires data. Everything is connected no matter how small or insignificant it seems, everything
action, information/data is important.
All of this has a consequence and its solely up to the person or entity that has it uses it wisely, or else it will have a profound impact on themselves, their community, the world’s history(past,current, and future), culture and political atmosphere. Now knowing this knowledge for data and its many usage in the world of physical and digital plane, the question is how will you use it? And for what purpose? How far are you willing to go, and how much are you willing to risk it for? Sometimes its better to go in head first, while other times its best to observe from a distance , see the current results then act upon it. The choice is yours, and so is the world.

SAA & Unions Reach Wage Deal, Ending Strike
by SG EditorThe Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) has announced that the wage dispute between South African Airways (SAA) and the unions has been resolved.
No details have been released of the deal, but the CCMA said this effectively ends the strike involving the National Union of Metalworkers of South Africa and the SA Cabin Crew Association.
In a statement released on Friday afternoon, the CCMA said: “The mediated process that was re-convened on Wednesday, 20 November 2019, resulted in an agreement being signed at midday today, 22 November 2019.”
It also said mediation will continue to assist the parties to work through some of the identified underlying issues and challenges.
The strike has cost SAA an estimated R50 million a day.
Numsa’s Phakamile Hlubi-Majola described the agreement as a win for workers.
“Our strike was never just about wages. The things we wanted to secure was to ensure the long-term stability of the airline and the wages.”
The CCMA was called to intervene in talks earlier this week after negotiations between the airline and unions broke down.

WetIce
======
WetIce is a competitive two player match three style puzzle game
designed to be playable with only a standard pack of cards.
**Required:** One standard pack of 52 cards and enough playing space to
lay them out in an 8 by 6 grid.
SETUP
-----
Remove all four Kings and all jokers.
You should be left with 48 suit cards.

**Match 3 or more cards of the same suit in a line.
Horizontally and vertically but never diagonally.**
CLEANUP PHASE
--------------
Take turns to remove all matches on the board before you start a game.
Each player performs one swap of *any* two cards on the grid.
After the two cards are swapped, there **must** be less matches on the
board than there was before.
Alternatively a player may pass.
Once both players agree that all matches have been removed by passing,
the game begins.
**The *last* player to make a swap during this phase is the *first*
player to take a turn when the game begins.**
GAME
----
Players take turns.
Each turn consists of one **SWAP** followed by multiple **MATCH** and
**FALL** phases.
See below for more detailed descriptions of these three phases.
SWAP
----
Swap *any* two cards.
This swap **must** create a line of 3 or more cards of the same suit,
horizontally or vertically.
You may pass to skip a turn regardless of whether you can perform a
valid swap or not.
MATCH
-----
Remove any lines of 3 or more cards of the same suit.
If this is a **new** suit, it goes into your score pile.
Otherwise it goes to the player who already has that suit in their
score pile.
If you have **more** than two suits in your score pile, any extra suits
must be given to your opponents score pile.
You can give your opponent *any* extra suits - it does not have to
be the suit that you just removed from the board.
Ultimately, each player will have 2 suits each.
Any future cards removed from the board will go to the **score pile of
the player with the corresponding suit**, regardless of who removes
them.
FALL
----
Apply **gravity**.
Slide down *all* cards that are not on the bottom row or held up by a
card below them.
Once all cards have been slid down, go back to **MATCH** phase and
remove any new matches.
You can chain score multiple times from a single **SWAP**.
This **MATCH** and **FALL** cycle is repeated until there are no more
matches to remove or cards to fall.
If there are **no cards to fall down or match**, your turn is over and
it is now your opponents turn.
GAME OVER
---------
When both players pass, usually because no more valid moves can be
made, the game is **over**.
Your score is the number of cards in your score pile.
Highest score wins.
MISTAKES
--------
There are times where both players pass because no moves can be made
only to notice later that a match was missed by either player.
If this is the case, remove and score the match as normal during the
*next* **MATCH** phase of your turn even if it has just been sitting
there unnoticed.
ALTERNATIVE LAYOUT
------------------
For a slightly harder and more volatile challenge, **rotate the board
around** so it is 6 wide and 8 high with the cards on their sides.
This makes gravity have more of an effect (each column is 8 high) so it
is a bit harder to manage chain reactions.
SINGLE PLAYER GAME
------------------
The single solitaire player game is played the same as the two player
game but **you take all of the turns**.
And instead of two separate score piles, the objective is to remove
*all* cards from the board. The more cards you remove, the better you
played.
If you can remove all the cards on the board, you are the winner.
SINGLE PLAYER NEW GAME PLUS
---------------------------
For a more challenging game, try the NG+ rules:
**Remove as many cards as possible in groups of 4 or more.**
Keep cards removed in matches of three **separate** to cards removed in
matches of four or more.


The case for m
, the component factory
In a previous article about componentization frameworks, we saw how parallel and sequential
composition are necessary to assemble components into a larger component. At the core of
composition is a combine
function which takes components and combine them into a target component, i.e combine :: Array<Component> -> Component
. That function can take any extra arguments, in which case, by partial application, it is always possible to come back the canonical combine
form shown previously. As any component used to derive another component can itself have been derived, componentization naturally leads to the manipulation of component trees.
The function m
is a such a combinator, specialized to the domain of reactive systems’s user interface, and which abstracts out a limited set of operations/patterns by which a component tree can be composed.
In what follows :
m
will be interchangeably termed as component combinator, component factory, utility function, or helper function.- components will be understood as
:: Sources -> Settings -> Commands
, i.e. functions which :- take a
Sources
data structure which contains a way to receive event from event sources - take a
Settings
data structure which allows to parameterize the behaviour of the component - return an
Commands
data structure which encodes the actions to be performed by the reactive system under study.
- take a
NOTE : The type definition for components is adapted from the one used in the reactive framework cyclejs
. We added the Settings
parameter to cleanly separate the parameterization/configuration concern from the input sourcing concern. We believe this is an important, though trivial, design change, which allows, among other thing, for better readability. This is as a matter of fact in line with other major componentization efforts such as React
which uses props
to that same parameterization effect.
API
Abstracting from a large cyclejs codebase (20K+ lines of javascript), we retained a m
combinator
articulated around three computation strategies, from the most generic to the most specific :
CombineGenericSpecs
CombineAllSinksSpecs
CombinePerSinkSpecs
Additionally, examining the patterns in that codebase, and given the specific importance of the DOM in a user interface implementation (!), we refined the array of components to incorporate an optional container component, which subjects the rest of the components to convenient rules as per the merging of DOM content (slot-based merge, as specified for web components).
Last, we incorporated other concerns that were frequently recurring in our codebase :
- parameterization of the
m
combinator - contract checking (preconditions, postconditions)
- sources and settings preprocessing (we did not include sinks postprocessing (other than the aforementioned postconditions checking), as this was relatively infrequently appearing in our codebase)
The API of m
hence derives directly from these considerations.
In what follows :
- the component returned by the
m
factory will be called combined component - the container component, when present, will sometimes be called the parent component
- the remnant of the components will be called children components
- We will use
Sinks
as a type synonym forCommands
, andSink
as a type synonym forCommandStream
. This is to reuse the terminology put in vogue bycyclejs
.
Let’s go over the three computation strategies for m
.
m :: CombineGenericSpecs -> Settings -> ComponentTree -> Component
Types
Component :: Sources -> Settings -> Sinks
ComponentTree :: ChildrenComponents | [ContainerComponent, ChildrenComponents]
ContainerComponent :: Component
ChildrenComponents :: Array<Component>
CombineGenericSpecs :: Record {
computeSinks :: ParentComponent -> Array<Component> -> Sources -> Settings -> Sinks
makeLocalSources :: Optional < Sources -> Settings -> Sources >
makeLocalSettings :: Optional < Settings -> Settings >
checkPreConditions :: Optional < Sources -> Settings -> Boolean >
checkPostConditions :: Optional < Sinks -> Boolean >
}
Contracts
Aside from the type contracts, there is the possibility to configure user-defined contracts (pre- and post-conditions), which are predicates who return true if the contract is fulfilled. There is no further contracts.
Description
The CombineGenericSpecs
computation strategy is summarized in the following figure :
As a matter of fact, the m
factory returns a component computed as follows :
- contracts are checked
- if at least one contract fails, an exception is raised
- additional sources and settings are generated via
makeLocalSources
, andmakeLocalSettings
makeLocalSources
returns the extra sources to inject to the children and parent components.- If not present, no extra sources are added.
makeLocalSources
is called with the sources passed to the combined component and the fully merged settings (i.e. include also settings frommakeLocalSettings
)1- In case of conflict, the ‘local sources’ factory has the lowest precedence vs. the factory sources
makeLocalSettings
returns the extra settings to inject to the settings passed in parameter to the computed combined component.- If not present, no extra settings is added.
- The local settings are computed from the merge of the computed combined component settings and the
m
factory settings. - The local settings added have the lowest priority in case of conflict (cf. section on settings prioritization).
- The settings passed in parameter to the combined component have the maximum priority.
- the computed combined component settings have a priority between the two.
- TODO: seriously, draw it or give an example, that is totally obstruse
- the
computeSinks
reducing function computes the combined component’s sinks from the parent component, children component, merged sources, and merged settings.
This is certainly the most generic strategy as the computeSinks
function receives all the
parameters from the m
combinator, except the specs themselves. Such a generic form is for
instance useful if the computation of the combined component depends on information held in the
component themselves (type, names, number of arguments, number of components, presence of a
container component, etc.).
However, in our codebase, we found very few cases where we would have needed to recourse to
this most generic form. That form however comes in handy to create generic combinators (ForEach
combinator is such a case).
m :: CombineAllSinksSpecs -> Settings -> ComponentTree -> Component
Types
CombineAllSinksSpecs :: Record {
makeOwnSinks :: Sources -> Settings -> ParentSinks
mergeSinks :: ParentSinks -> Array<Sinks> -> Settings -> Sinks
makeLocalSources :: Optional < Sources -> Settings -> Sources >
makeLocalSettings :: Optional < Settings -> Settings >
checkPreConditions :: Optional < Sources -> Settings -> Boolean >
checkPostConditions :: Optional < Sinks -> Boolean >
}
Contracts
This signature fulfills the same contract as the general signature.
Description
The CombineAllSinksSpecs
computation strategy is summarized in the following figure :
As a matter of fact, the m
factory returns a component computed as follows :
- 1-3. same as in the
CombineGenericSpecs
strategy - 4. Sinks are computed for each component from the merged sources and merged settings.
- 5. Those sinks are later reduced by
mergeSinks
into the combined component sinks.
This computation strategy is more frequent than the most generic one, though still relatively
infrequent. That form however comes in handy to create generic combinators (Switch
combinator
is such a case).
m :: CombinePerSinkSpecs -> Settings -> ComponentTree -> Component
Types
Sinks :: HashMap<SinkName, Sink>
ContainerSink :: Sink
Sink :: Stream <*>
CombinePerSinkSpecs :: Record {
SinkMergeFn :: ContainerSink -> Array<Sink> -> Settings -> Sinks
mergeSinks :: HashMap<SinkName, SinkMergeFn>
makeLocalSources :: Optional < Sources -> Settings -> Sources >
makeLocalSettings :: Optional < Settings -> Settings >
checkPreConditions :: Optional < Sources -> Settings -> Boolean >
checkPostConditions :: Optional < Sinks -> Boolean >
}
Contracts
This signature fulfills the same contract as the general signature.
Description
The CombinePerSinkSpecs
computation strategy is summarized in the following figure :
As a matter of fact, the m
factory returns a component computed as follows :
- 1-3. same as in the
CombineGenericSpecs
strategy - 4. Sinks are computed for each child component from the merged sources, and merged settings.
- 5. For each sink (uniquely identified by
sinkName :: SinkName
) :- if there is a merge function defined in
mergeSinks
for thatsinkName
, that function is used to compute the resulting combined component sink from the parent’s sink, the children components’ sinks, and the merged settings. - If not, a default merge function is used :
- If there is no slots in the container component, default DOM merge function will merge the
VTree
from the children components INSIDE theVtree
from the container component’s DOM sink- if there is no DOM sink at all, it returns
null
- if there is no container DOM sink, then it returns the children VTrees wrapped in a
div
VNode - if there is a container DOM sink, and there is no children DOM sinks, then it returns the parent DOM sink
- if there is a container DOM sink, and there are children DOM sinks, then it returns a VTree in which the children DOM vNodes are children of the parent’s vNode children vNodes are appended to any already existing children of the parent vNode
- if there is no DOM sink at all, it returns
- If there are slots in the container component, default DOM merge function will
distribute the
VTree
from the children components according to their respective slots - Default non-DOM merge function will merge the parent’s sink together with the children sinks via simple stream merge (i.e.
Rx.Observable.merge
)
- if there is a merge function defined in
Default merge functions have been extracted from patterns from our codebase. While non-DOM sinks ever rarely get merged in any other way than a simple observable merge, there are more patterns appearing for merging of DOM VTrees. Frequently, children DOM vNodes are merged immediately inside a parent DOM’s vNodes. In the general case however, children DOM vNodes can be located arbitrarily inside the parent DOM’s vNodes. Web components faced the same distribution issue and resolved it with a slot mechanism, and we reused that. This is how we arrived to our default merge functions :
- one unique strategy for non-DOM sinks
- two strategies for DOM sinks (container-based and slot-based)
The CombinePerSinkSpecs
covers a large set of patterns of our code base. In fact, the default
merge behaviour covers a large enough portion of cases which occur when combining components for
us to create a Combine
combinator, simply defined as a partial application of m
with no
specification (empty object passed as first parameter) : Combine(settings, componentTree) = m
({}, settings, componentTree)
.
Examples
In this section, we are going to show miscellaneous examples of use of componentization with them
factory.
Most of those examples will be inspired from already-existent UI component library, such as
Semantic UI
.
Examples for the DOM merge functions are gathered in a specific article.
Event factory component
Events = m(eventFactorySpec, eventFactorySettings, componentTree)
, or by partially applyingm
intomEventFactory
:Events = mEventFactory(EventFactorySettings, componentTree)
This example makes use of :
checkPreConditions
- a component tree with container and children
mergeSinks
- utility function
defaultMergeSinkFn
Description
This component allows to create events from event sources. For ease of reasoning and maintainability, the created events should be coupled to the DOM representation generated by the children component. There is however no enforcement of such property. The created events will be mixed with the sinks returned from the children components.
Contracts:
- an event sink generated from event sources MUST NOT conflict with a sink with the same key from the children component
- there MUST be an
events
property in the settings object. The corresponding object MAY be empty (event factory created no events).
EventFactorySettings
{
events : {
custom : {eventName : (sources, settings) => event$},
DOM : { DomEventName : {selectorDesc : 'selector'}}
}
}
Note that all events generated from the DOM remove the default DOM side effect with preventDefault
.
events.DOM
property
events.DOM
is a list of selectors that MAY be later used in the children components, for instance to uniquely identify the target of an event. This allow to parameterize the coupling between the parent and the children components, i.e. between the events and the event targets.
events.DOM
is also used to set an event listener on the matching DOM element (as specified by selector
). Corresponding listened-to events will be streamed through a sink with identifier [selectorDesc]_[DomEventName]
.
For instance :
{
events : {
DOM : {
click : {
PriceSelector : '.block__element--modifier'
}
}
}
}
will lead to registering a listener on the DOM element(s) identified by the selector
.block__element--modifier
. As the events factory parameterization is inherited by
children (through settings), children components can reference within their DOM tree the passed on selector (settings.events.DOM.click.PriceSelector
). Repetition is avoided and the coupling of behaviour and visual representation is made explicit.
events.custom
property
This allows for generating a custom stream of events from the event source and settings.
For instance :
{
events : {
custom : {
[eventName] : (sources, settings) => sources.motionSensor.zipWith(sources.locationSensor)
}
}
}
The resulting stream of events is passed through the sink eventName
.

// possibility to have a factory with some default events, and adding some additional events

return m(eventFactorySpec, eventFactorySettings, [makeEventFactorySinks, componentTree])
}
Button component combinator
Button = m(ButtonComponentSpec, ButtonComponentSettings, childrenComponents)
Button = mButton(ButtonComponentSettings, childrenComponents)
This example makes use of :
checkPreConditions
- a component tree with container and children
- (non-slotted) default merge of sinks (DOM and non-DOM sinks)
Description
The button component is a

that will behave like a button, according to the parameters specified in settings. Cf. semanticUI
documentation for a description of the settings properties.
- The component MAY listen to any of the regular DOM event associated to a button:
- click, hover, etc.
- A button MAY have content inside, which is any valid HTML representation
- A button component inserts inside its tag the DOM content from its children components.
- Any non-DOM children sink is default-merged with the button sink with the same sink name.
ButtonComponentSettings
- classes
- emphasis : ‘primary, secondary, positive, negative, basic’
- tabIndex
- animated : {“, fade, vertical}
- label : {text, position : ‘left, right’}
- icon : for instance ‘cloud’ - must be mapped to an actual icon previously
- visualState : ‘active, disabled, loading’
- social : ‘facebook, twitter, google, vk, linkedin, instagram, youtube’
- size ‘mini tiny small medium large big huge massive’
- layout : ‘compact, fluid, attached, top attached, bottom attached, left attached, right attached’
- listenTo : event list such as click, hover, etc.
Source code
export function mButton(mButtonSettings, childrenComponents) {
// returns a DOM tree representation with the specifications passed through settings
// and enclosing the DOM trees returned by the children components
// Non-DOM children sinks are default-merged
return m(mButtonSpec, mButtonSettings, [makeButtonSinks, childrenComponents])
}
function makeButtonSinks(sources, settings) {
let attrs = {};
const buttonClasses = ['ui', 'button'];
const focusable = true;
const {
classes, listenOn, emphasis, basic, animated, label, icon, visualState, social, size, shape, layout, listenTo
} = settings;
if (classes) {
Array.prototype.push.apply(buttonClasses, classes);
}
if (focusable) {
attrs.tabindex = '0';
}
if (emphasis) {
buttonClasses.push(emphasis);
}
[...]
const classObject = buttonClasses
? reduce((acc, className) => {
acc[className] = true
return acc
}, {}, buttonClasses)
: null;
let sinks = {};
if (listenTo && listenOn) {
sinks = reduce((acc, eventName) => {
acc[eventName] = sources.DOM.select(listenOn).events(eventName);
return acc
}, {}, listenTo)
}
sinks.DOM = $.of(
div({
class: classObject,
attrs: attrs
})
)
return sinks
}
We hence have :
makeButtonSinks
which generates

- class list will depend on settings
- children component’s DOM sinks will correspond to
Content
in
 Content

- that is the default non-slotted DOM merge
- we keep also the non-DOM sinks returned by the children (default non-DOM sink merge)
- content MAY be empty
Tips
- when writing the component tree, a common error is to use
[containerComponent]
to signify a container component without children. This will actually be parsed as one unique child component (i.e. as[uniqueChild]
). The correct syntax would be[containerComponent, []]

- Note that so far there has been no cases where an extra source might depend on settings. We expect the local sources factory to be independent of any settings but keep the door open, should that case occur. [return]

How Priyanka Gandhi persuaded Sheila Dikshit to be Congress' UP face
It's no secret that the former Delhi CM was initially less than enthusiastic about the prospect.
- Total Shares
After months of dithering, the Congress leadership has finally made up its mind and announced a well rounded team that will lead its electoral challenge in Uttar Pradesh.
In a departure from its established practice, it also decided to project a chief ministerial candidate in the crucial state elections in the form of the 78-year-old Sheila Dikshit.
The three-time former Delhi CM was finally persuaded, primarily by Priyanka Gandhi, to give up her initial reluctance.
It's no secret that Sheila Dikshit was initially less than enthusiastic given the paucity of time.
UP is slated to go to polls in just six months. However, Dikshit was persuaded to come on board and was promised all possible help by the central leadership, including a vigorous campaign by Priyanka Gandhi herself.
| A vigorous campaign by Priyanka Gandhi in UP has been promised to bring Sheila Dikshit on board. |
Her candidature is in line with the strategy that is being put in place by poll strategist Prashant Kishor, that of projecting a prominent Brahmin leader as the face of the party in UP and then hope to win over the minorities and other castes.
Kishore would have ideally preferred the younger Gandhi sibling to be the face of Congress in volatile UP, but that possibility was comprehensively ruled out.
Sheila Dikshit has all the right credentials. Apart from being married into a prominent political Brahmin family, she has the image of being a "development oriented leader", having changed the face of the capital in her 15-year stewardship of Delhi.
Also read: Can ‘lightweight’ Raj Babbar turn Congress’ fortunes in UP?
For Congress, naturally, it's clearly all hands on the deck. For a party not exactly spoilt for choices, almost all the leaders that matter have been entrusted with some responsibility or the other.
Sanjay Singh will head the campaign committee, Pramod Tewari is in charge of coordinating the election campaign. Salman Khurshid, RPN Singh, Jitin Prasad and Sri Prakash Jaiswal are all part of the party's election management team.
But it goes without saying that appointing high-profile office bearers is a lot easier than winning elections.
| Sheila Dikshit has asked for her ancestral home in Lucknow's Hazratganj to be dusted up and readied. |
The Congress is down and almost out in UP since 1987. In the last Assembly elections, it came fourth, managing to win only 28 of 404 seats.
For a state that once was its pocket borough, the Congress has now been reduced to the status of a peripheral player. The organisation is moribund and party morale is at an all time low.
