Binary search 
 As the algorithm will divide the sorted list into two parts, each iteration thus makes the size of the search smaller by half, which makes it very efficient when searching in a large list of items.
Binary search 
 If the item is not inside the sorted list of items, the binary search algorithm will keep trying until the position of the smallest item is larger than the position of the biggest item before it will return as an unsuccessful search.
Binary search 
 The implementation of this algorithm requires using a while loop, which will check if the position of the smallest item is larger than the position of the biggest item.
Binary search 
 Inside the loop, the algorithm will then check if the middle item is equal to, smaller than or bigger than the target value.

Balikbayan box 
 A balikbayan box (literally "repatriate box") is a corrugated box filled with items given by Filipinos overseas to their family back home.
Balikbayan box 
 Most of the time the box is sent to its destination by people who work as "freight forwarders" who know a lot about shipping balikbayan boxes by sea, the boxes can be brought by Filipinos returning to the Philippines on air flights.
Balikbayan box 
 The balikbayan box was invented sometime in the 1980s, in the United States because there were a lot of overseas Filipino workers in the country.
Balikbayan box 
 The first freight forwarder to give balikbayan box services was Rico Nunga who founded REN International in Los Angeles, California in 1981.
Balikbayan box 
 In 1982, Ramon Ungco, a Filipino living in New York City, founded Port Jersey Shipping International.

Balikbayan box 
 1937, which some people also know as the Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines, which became law on 22 July 1957 by former president Carlos P. Garcia.
Balikbayan box 
 The now-changed Section 105 of the Tariff and Customs Code of the Philippines gives duty- and tax-free privileges to balikbayan boxes taken to the Philippines by overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in recognition of the large impact of their contribution and sacrifices outside of the Philippines as well as bringing a lot of foreign exchange annually that helped the national recovery effort at that time.
Balikbayan box 
 People then started sending balikbayan boxes through friends and their co-workers who were going back to the Philippines.
Balikbayan box 
 After the September 11 attacks in the US and the passage of the Patriot Act by the US Congress, the United States Department of Homeland Security's Out-Bound Exam Team started searching balikbayan boxes.
Balikbayan box 
 It was so long and strict, the boxes arrived up to three weeks late at the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement inspection facility.
Balikbayan box 
 The inspections also had balikbayan boxes opened, and people were angry about pilferage and mishandling.
Balikbayan box 
 The Philippines Bureau of Customs also did 100% inspections which caused the deliveries to arrive really late.
Balikbayan box 
 The inspections had to happen because of some individuals who use balikbayan boxes to get commercial items through without paying taxes or smuggle contraband.
Balikbayan box 
 Since balikbayan box shipping is consolidated, even one illegal item will affect all 400 or so items inside the container.
Balikbayan box 
 In 2012, these delays were made even worse since the City Of Manila decided to stop trucks from driving along the route to and from the Port of Manila, causing long delays in releasing and transporting not only balikbayan boxes but all cargoes, domestic and international.
Balikbayan box 
 Most balikbayan box companies, which are based in Parañaque City close to the airport, couldn’t operate because of the truck ban until it was settled.
Balikbayan box 
 The industry was scrutinized by the Philippine Senate in 2015 after lots of complaints were brought to the attention of the public through social media after the Philippine Customs Commissioner Albert Lina said that the inspectors would open the balikbayan boxes for inspection and would include more taxes.
Balikbayan box 
 This caused the passage of the Customs Modernization Act, which had been waiting to be passed for years, and also had the Balikbayan Box Law added into the act, increasing the tax-exemption ceiling from PHP 500 (US$9) to PHP 150,000 (US$2,938).
Balikbayan box 
 This included items being brought home by Filipino tourists from trips abroad, pasalubong or gifts, and returning resident shipments.

Balikbayan box 
 A balikbayan box meant for airplanes is designed to follow to airline luggage restrictions and many Filipino stores sell them.
Balikbayan box

Balikbayan box 
 Shipped boxes are taken straight away to the recipient, usually the family of the overseas Filipino.
Balikbayan box 
 Part of the attraction of the balikbayan box is because it is important to the economy, which allows cheaper bulk shipment of items versus sending them one at a time or in smaller boxes through postal services.
Balikbayan box 
 The bad thing though is it takes longer to reach it’s destination by container ship, which most of the time needs several weeks, along with there being no certain delivery date.
Balikbayan box 
 The balikbayan box is a modern version of the general Philippine practice of pasalubong, where travellers within or outside the country are culturally expected to bring home gifts to family, friends and colleagues.

Geographical renaming 
 For example, after the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland joined together in 1701, they formed the United Kingdom.
Geographical renaming 
 When Ireland joined in 1801, the unified country became the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
Geographical renaming 
 For example, after Czechoslovakia split in 1992, it became two new countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
Geographical renaming 
 Also, after Ireland gained independence from Britain, the region of Northern Ireland stayed in the UK.
Geographical renaming 
 Therefore, the country's name changed from United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to what it is today, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Geographical renaming 
 After the Communist Party took overthrew the Russian Empire's emperor, the Tsar, and changed the country's name to the Soviet Union, the city of Saint Petersburg also changed to Leningrad.
Geographical renaming 
 This was because the Communist Party wanted to honor its leader, Vladimir Lenin, and symbolize the Soviet Union's turning away from Russia's system of absolute monarchy, the Tsardom, that ruled before they did, since Saint Petersburg was named after Peter the Great, who was the Tsar that founded the city.
Geographical renaming 
 When the city of New Amsterdam, founded by Dutch colonists in North America, was lost to the British Empire, it was renamed New York City after the Duke of York.
Geographical renaming

Geographical renaming 
 When Pinyin was made the official romanization, or writing Mandarin Chinese using the Roman alphabet, in mainland China after the Chinese Communist Party took over, the spellings of many Chinese place names changed, including Peking becoming Beijing and Nanking becoming Nanjing.
Geographical renaming 
 Even though the pronunciations of Chinese place names in Mandarin Chinese were not any different before the changing of spelling, the older spellings did not accurately show their pronunciation.
Geographical renaming 
 Therefore, the pronunciation of Chinese place names in other languages, or their exonyms, were based on their spelling rather than the Mandarin pronunciation, which is why they sound so different from each other.
Geographical renaming 
 In order to teach people how to correctly pronounce Mandarin Chinese, the CCP made Hanyu Pinyin the only accepted romanization in mainland China.
Geographical renaming 
 Even though Taiwan also speaks Mandarin, the spellings of Taiwanese place names, including Taipei and Kaohsiung, is according to the older spelling rules for Chinese place names.
Geographical renaming 
 This is because many Taiwanese do not want to use Hanyu Pinyin, even though it is the standard romanization of Mandarin Chinese worldwide, because it was created by the Communist Party of China.

Chinese place names 
 Since the Chinese language has not had any sort of phonetic alphabet until only about a few hundred years ago (compared to the thousands of years the Chinese characters have been used), there has been a lot of confusion on naming places in Chinese.
Chinese place names 
 Since Chinese characters are a logographic writing system, meaning that the writing mainly shows the words' meaning rather than its pronunciation, it can be used to write down words in many different languages.
Chinese place names 
 On top of all this, the Chinese language is not one unified language, but an entire branch of the Sino-Tibetan language family.
Chinese place names 
 Many of the Chinese languages or dialects are mutually unintelligible, which means a speaker of one language or dialect cannot understand a speaker of another unless one of them already knew the other's language or dialect.
Chinese place names 
 For example, Mandarin and Cantonese are both dialects of Chinese, but they are so different from each other than their speakers cannot understand the other unless at least one speaker knew both.
Chinese place names 
 Therefore, knowing which spoken dialect to use when writing out the name in the Roman alphabet, which is a phonetic writing system and not a logographic one, can be challenging.
Chinese place names 
 For example, while the name of the city is written as 北京 in Chinese, it is called Běijīng in Mandarin and Bak1 Ging1 in Cantonese.
Chinese place names 
 In mainland China, most place names are in Mandarin Chinese, the country's official spoken language.
Chinese place names 
 Even though the sounds of Mandarin Chinese have not changed for a long time, there were many different ways to write Chinese place names in Mandarin using the Roman alphabet, or many different kinds of romanizations.
Chinese place names 
 This created a lot of confusion and misinformation for non-Chinese speakers on what to call Chinese place names.
Chinese place names 
 For example, Beijing was spelled Peking, Nanjing was called Nanking, Tianjin was spelled Tiantsin, and Qingdao was spelled Tsingtao.
Chinese place names 
 These many spelling systems caused confusion among non-Chinese speakers and therefore whatever name speakers of other languages called place names ended up sounding very different from Mandarin Chinese.
Chinese place names 
 In order to teach people how to correctly pronounce Mandarin Chinese, to mainland Chinese and non-Chinese alike, the Chinese Communist Party made Hanyu Pinyin the only accepted romanization in official use and banned all other romanizations in official use in mainland China.
Chinese place names 
 Peking became Beijing, Nanking became Nanjing, Tiantsin became Tianjin, and Tsingtao became Qingdao.
Chinese place names 
 While the pronunciation of these place names stayed the same in Mandarin, it allowed non-Chinese speakers, especially English speakers, to say Chinese place names much more accurately to their Mandarin pronunciations.
Chinese place names 
 However, in the autonomous regions, places in China where certain minority groups make up a large part of the region's population, many place names changed back from Chinese to the local languages in order to represent the local languages.
