The early decades of the relationship saw the signing of several bilateral agreements and treaties, which included a bilateral investment (BIT) in 1992 and a double taxation agreement (DTA) in 1999. Relations between the two countries have been “predominantly warm and cordial” over the years, as expressed by the Office of the Press Secretary. China-Philippines relationsĬhina and the Philippines established formal diplomatic relations in 1975. In this article, we discuss explore China-Philippine bilateral relations, including the trade and investment flows between the two countries and the current bilateral investment and trade treaties, and discuss the significance of the Philippine president’s visit to China. President Marcos’ state visit to China marks a significant step forward for bilateral relations between China and the Philippines, a relationship that has been marred by territorial disputes over the past few decades. The two sides also reportedly signed 14 bilateral agreements on Wednesday, January 4, covering a wide range of industries, including agriculture and tourism. President Marcos has also stated his intention to raise the issue of territorial disputes in the South China Sea “in a bid to settle problems in a friendly manner and seek to resolve those issues to the mutual benefit of the two countries”, according to a news release posted on the Philippine’s Office of the Press Secretary. ![]() In a regular press briefing, the spokesperson for China’s Foreign Ministry Wang Wenbin stated that China hoped the visit would “usher in a new ‘golden age’ in bilateral friendship”. During his visit, President Marcos will meet with President Xi Jinping, as well as Premier Li Keqiang and Chairman Li Zhanshu of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC). This is President Marcos’ first visit to China since taking office last year.

This needs to happen.Ītlanta’s next four opponents are home vs. My thought is his big-league experience and current domination of Triple-A hitting is exactly what the Braves need right now in the back-end of the rotation entering a tough stretch of games right before the All-Star break. I don’t know if injuries have transformed Soroka into a Quad-A pitcher, but he’s clearly too good to stay in Gwinnett for all that much longer. As for how Soroka has pitched since being demoted to Triple-A, he has gone at least six innings, allowing no more than one earned run in each of his last three starts for the Stripers. His two previous starts were against NL bottom-feeders in Colorado and Washington. To be fair, this was not a winnable situation for Smith-Shawver to be put in. The Braves would go on to win this road series. Atlanta would snap its eight-game winning strike in a narrow 11-10 defeat to the Reds on Friday night. He went 3.1 innings on seven days’ rest, giving up five earned runs and three home runs. Atlanta Braves option AJ Smith-Shawver, paving way for Michael Soroka’s returnĮven though Smith-Shawver’s first career road start was at the newfound wagon that is the Reds, he got cooked in the hot summer sun, alright. Let’s discuss why it will probably be Soroka reclaiming a spot in the rotation over Smith-Shawver. 4 starter spot would be massive for the Braves’ chances of earning that No. While Fried and Wright should return at some point, getting any sort of long-term production out of the No. the red-hot Reds at Great American Ball Park was concerning to say the least.

But the Suns weren’t able to recapture the same take-all rhythm of the previous year. He was again chosen to the All-Star team and the All-NBA second team. The following season, Barkley was brilliant on the court, averaging his usual 20+ points and 10+ rebounds. He made the All-Star Team (obviously) and was named league MVP. Chuck had his best season in the NBA averaging 25.6 points per game, 12.2 rebounds, 5.1 assists with a block and a steal as well. The Suns won 62 games and finished 1st in the NBA.

What Mazda describes as ∾uropean-inspired styling emerged from a collaboration among designers in Europe, Japan and California. Slightly longer than the Honda Civic, the Proteg� has a 102.8-inch wheelbase and measures 175.3 inches long overall. Meanwhile, Mazda continues to promote itself as a sporty car company, using its zoom-zoom advertising theme. Ford owns a controlling interest in Mazda. Each 2002 vehicle benefits from a reinforced body/chassis structure, and a new modular audio system with a standard CD player is installed in all sedans.Ī redesign isnt likely until 2004, but when it does occur, the Ford Focus platform may possibly be used. The 1.6-liter engine, previously standard on the DX sedan, has been dropped. Only 1,500 units were built initially, and they were sold out before they reached the United States, but Mazda is considering bringing back the MP3 later in the 2002 model year.Įxcept for the MP3, all models now use a 130-hp, 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine designed by Mazda. The MP3 also is fitted with a high-output 140-horsepower engine and a number of performance-oriented components from racing suppliers. Now, Mazda is helping to revive the small hatchback body style with its new Proteg�5 sport wagon, launched as an early 2002 model.ĭuring the 2001 model year, Mazda introduced another variant of the Proteg�, dubbed MP3 to denote its Kenwood audio system. These cars finished are so ******* awesome that dont matter what gets next to you, you sure will have so much more fun than any other built cars out there.i dont know i guess these cars are about love and hate and i love my s*** to death.The Proteg� sedan received a front-end face-lift for 2001. Is really sad to see so many people doubting the potential and reliability of these cars, people just quiting without finishing it all i can say to those that gives up dont. **** it.anybody will love them more than anything else i can vouch that. if i have to do what i have done to my MSP again i will doing without a doubt These Cars with 300whp+++ are simply INSANE and if you have more t han that is just. I know with the amount of money i have invested in this car i could of have, bought or built a better car but having something nobody has is priceless to me. Once you add the right amount of money to them and do them right you will fall in love with it. I know i have a lot of money invested in it but i also know atleast in here in SPAIN i own something nobody have. I cantreally complaint amount my car or my builds because simply i have my personal dream car. Well Proteges are great cars, they are not the best platform but once you have fix the weak spots is the sweatest ride to own and drive. Ive come to terms that this car is slow and is basically full build or go home, think il just pick up a ms3, test drove one yesterday and like the power/5 door/mpg (Second you are coming off as a dick, im not some punk 16 yr old kid who bought his first car and wants to go vroom vroom all the way home.) I have owned many cars now including a custom turbo charged grand am, a eagle talon tsi awd, eg civic hatch with gsr motor, dodge dakota rt, subaru impreza wrx sti plus many more. (can post pics if you like) The only reason i bought the protege is because me and my wife are expecting our first baby and the truck is too large to get into while she's pregnant. Personally i already have another vehicle a 2004 dodge ram 1500 slt laramie with a hemi v8 and a 6 inch lift on 35's. One being the first(just stating the obvious here lol) or one that mazda came out with later on to address the hesitation that these cars are plagued with. As you will see most here are afraid to turn up the boost for that reason or will not exceed 10psi.ġ0psi is generally considered the limit on the stock tune. It really all depends on how far your willing to push your car before you end up trashing a perfectly good block. ![]() I want to say it was JDMSam put out like 274ish whp on the stock block with a good tune and supporting mods. You can make more power at lets say 15psi compared to someone running the same setup at 18psi if you have a better tune and his is craptastic tune. The rods on these cars are like toothpicks from what I understand.Īlso the amount of power you put isn't solely based off boost psi. I currently don't know of anyone who have tested the limits of the stock pistons because they generally just replace both rods and pistons. The block itself is pretty beefy and heavy on these cars. I'm not trying to be a dick or anything just tired of hearing that and nothing ever happening. You do realize how often we have people that come on here that say money is not a problem right.? If it wasn't a problem you'd be driving something else all together in sure. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The plumber will have to tie into the existing water line and add a fitting for the additional piping. If not, he will need to remove the ceiling material to have access to the area. He may be able to access the area from the attic. With a ceiling mount shower head in an already established shower (not a home under construction), the plumber will determine the entry point for adding an additional water line. It's an easy installation that involves removing the current shower head from the fitting, inserting the new shower head into the fitting, and securing it. With a wall mount model, the showerhead is attached to the vertical water pipe running up the side of the wall. This is a question you will want to ask before buying the showerhead. In some instances, the ceiling-mounted shower head you choose may require a larger pipe to accommodate the shower head’s specifications. With a wall mount, the height of the showerhead to the wall is limited.įor standard purposes, the water line that a shower head is attached to (which may be copper piping or PVC piping) is one-half inch in diameter. Another benefit to a ceiling mount is more headroom for taller people. Also, with a standard wall mount, the water pressure can be excessive as it pelts the body, whereas a ceiling mount is more soothing. Unlike a wall mount where you must continually adjust your position for thorough rinsing, this isn't the case with a ceiling mount. One of the most popular benefits of a ceiling mount versus a wall mount is the exceptional rinse and spray capabilities. The other style shower head has a base that directly mounts to the ceiling, but it also has an extension arm that allows you to adjust the showerhead's direction to suit your preferences. With this style, there is no capability to adjust the water's direction other than in a downward motion. One style has the showerhead installed directly, or flush, to the ceiling. There are several benefits to a ceiling mount shower head, which is available in two installation types. Benefits of a Ceiling Mounted Shower Head Assorted finishes include brushed nickel, polished chrome, brass, chrome-plated, bronze, and gold.ĭepending on the style you choose, you’ll have options such as the spray diameter, the number of nozzles emitting water, water pressure, and regular or pulsating sprays. ![]() Ceiling showerheads come in a variety of styles in durable plastic and chrome. ![]() ![]() □ What Goes In Trinidadian Macaroni Pie? ![]()

This allows you to move clips, as accurately as possible, without ever touching your mouse. Plus, Pro Tools has nudge functions and allows sample accuracy that can be measured in the time ruler to make precision edits. All cutting and consolidating actions are done with key commands. Hover over the top-right edge and you get a fade tool, bottom of the clip is a grabber (for moving clips), and the middle edge of the clip is a trim tool to edit audio waveforms. The smart tool is reactive to where you hover in the clip, akin to Ableton Live. The F-keys allow for cycling through each of the tools, or you can hit 3 at once to access a multi-purpose, "smart tool". The fact that they are straight to the point allows for a quick understanding of them, thus allowing for faster learning and execution of workflows. As with most DAWs, different areas of the clip will activate different tools to manipulate audio clips. You have the basic trim to edit audio waveforms, pencil for manual automation write, fade on clip edges, etc. They aren't as customizable and there are much fewer of them.
