NATO Chief Praises Russia's Bosnia Force
January 09, 1996 00:00 GMT
Moscow, Jan. 25 (RFE/RL) - NATO's supreme commander today thanked Russian leaders, the Russian people and the mothers and fathers of soldiers who are contributing to the Bosnia peace keeping mission.
Wrapping up a three-day visit to Russia, General George Joulwan said in Moscow that the force was "well-trained, well-equipped, well-led and highly motivated."
Late last year NATO and Russia reached an agreement allowing Russian soldiers to take part in the NATO-led peacekeeping force without technically taking orders from a NATO commander.
Joulwan, who had earlier met with Defense Minister Pavel Grachev and General Mikhail Kolesnikov, Russia's chief of staff, said he had also been pleased with training "under tough winter conditions" by Russia's 119th Airborne Regiment, which he visited yesterday.
He conceded there had been "some slight delays" in deploying Russia's airborne brigade of 1,500 men, many of whom were moving slowly by train through Ukraine, Hungary and Serbia. About 420 Russians have already been deployed in northeastern Bosnia near the town of Brcko.

Australian school children walked out of school in protest today.
The protest was directed at the government and its lack of action to prevent climate change.
"We're here to make a difference, make a change," they said.
Thousands gathered in Sydney, along with others across the country.
The local action was inspired by that taken by a teen in Sweden.
School children across Australia walked out of class on Friday to protest climate change.
Their message is aimed at federal government and politicians who they feel "won't stand up" their future.
The "Strike 4 Climate Action" was inspired by a 15-year-old Swedish school girl's activism, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, involves children from Australian capital cities and 20 regional centres such as Ballarat and Newcastle.
In Sydney, thousands were supported by teachers, parents and each other in the hope that their actions will start a wider movement.
"We're here to make a difference, make a change," one 14-year-old from Reddam House in Sydney's Eastern suburbs told Business Insider Australia.
Randwick mother Anna Thomas, who was at the protest as a chaperon for a group of a dozen year seven children, said the kids "decided to come on their own remit" and that they were attending "with or without us".
"I have heard them talking, and they are really concerned about the lack of consultation with them as young people," she said.
"They are really clear that they are inheriting what's left of the politician's decisions, and that really stands out for me as an important reason why I am supporting the children to come and have their voice.
Since news of the protest broke today, some have suggested children are too young to know the details of such complex world issues.
"As adults we've got to stop and think, we're not making decisions just for people our age. We really do have to start listening to these young people. They have a hell of a lot to say, and some of them are a hell of a lot smart than the people in parliament house," she said.
"They are so clear sighted at this age. They can see the insanity — we get bogged down in all the decisions and all the finances, but the kids just go 'Er, I'm sorry I need the air to breathe, I need the water, I need the trees. Where the hell are the koalas living?' They're just very, very fundamental questions.
"I reckon this movement is on it's feet.
"It's so good to see the young people in action. There are people out there who say they're only interested in their computer games or social media. People give the young a stereotype, a bad reputation of being uninterested and this turn out today shows you that they are adamant that they want things to change and they want politicians to listen to thing.
Boy 1: Climate change "is killing the polar bears".
Boy 3: Climate change "is going to sink all those islands and some countries will be underwater".

INJURY UPDATE - BRISTOL ROVERS
NIGEL Clough is hoping that David Templeton will recover from a shoulder injury in time for Saturday's home game against Bristol Rovers (kick off 3pm).
The Brewers manager believes his team have missed the winger's creative spark.
He said: "David's shoulder is still sore so that will go until Friday or even Saturday before we make a decision as we would love to have him involved, especially as it's a home game."
There are also doubts over midfielder Stephen Quinn and defender John Brayford.
Clough said: "With Stephen we are hopeful but it's just the ongoing maintenance with his knee and making sure we are looking after him. It's a similar situation with John and it's difficult when you have so many games in October and there's one every three days. Stephen and John aren't going to play in them all."
Jake Buxton's return to action has also been set back with illness adding to his injured back.
Clough said: "Jake was working his way back into things but when you have a back problem it is very much day to day. Sometimes he wakes up and feels fine and he trains then another day it stiffens up again. He trained well on Monday and was going to be involved at Port Vale but illness robbed him of that chance. Hopefully he will be OK for the bench on Saturday."
Goalkeeper Brad Collins has also had a back problem that thwarted his comeback from a thigh strain picked up against Accrington on September 8. That may result in Dimitar Evtimov's one-month deal being extended.
Clough said: "We hope Brad's back will keep improving and he might be involved on Saturday as well. Stephen Bywater's doing light goalkeeping work but only light as he has to careful diving on his shoulder.
"We can extend Dimitar's month if we need to as he has been very solid for us when you think he has come in without having played much football he's not cost us a goal at all. He understands the situation that if they are all fit we can't have four keepers challenging for the first team spot."


The classic Penny Loafer, as shown here, certainly has an important place in the gentleman's wardrobe. And this one is identical to Brooks Brothers' shell cordovan version but in a beautifully finished calfskin. This is a moccasin-sewn loafer and the bead around the apron is hand-sewn in this shoe. Needless to say, a classic model that has stood the test of time.

Birthplace of Titanic and proud winner of World's Leading Tourist Attraction.
Titanic Belfast® is the cultural nucleus to the massive waterfront regeneration project - Titanic Quarter.
"Simply awe-inspiring at each step… it is not a museum. It is an experience."
— The Huffington Post
A Beacon For Belfast
Titanic Belfast's unique structure contains nine interactive galleries including a dark ride, underwater exploration centre and recreations of the ship's cabins. It is now one of the most popular visitor attractions in the world and a fitting tribute to the memory of Titanic.
Harcourt broke ground in May 2009 and the building opened to critical acclaim on 31 March 2012 in time for the centenary.
The Birth Of Titanic Belfast
In late 2003, the Northern Ireland Tourism Board identified a "Titanic / Maritime attraction" as a signature project to enhance the country's tourism offering.
The concept was translated into detailed plans and implemented by Harcourt, who enlisted the help of CHL tourism consultancy, Event Communications: Europe's leading exhibition design group and Kay Elliot interior designers, as well as hundreds of historians, set designers, AV and lighting specialists.
An Icon For Queen's Island
The remarkable exterior architecture was designed by American 'starchitect' Eric Kuhne with Todd Architects as the lead architect.
Guided by the history and culture of the shipbuilding location, the iconic design articulates many maritime metaphors including water crystals, compass roses, ships' bows and the White Star Line emblem.
The total cost of the project was in excess of £100 million and it is now a key pillar of Northern Ireland's booming tourism economy. The building even features on the pages of the new UK passport.
"It's like Frank Gehry meets White Star Line meets Star Wars.
In short: it's incredible "

Barwy pansłowiańskie – kolorami panslawizmu są czerwień, błękit i biel. Barwy te widnieją na flagach większości krajów słowiańskich oraz tych krajów, w których narody słowiańskie lub słowiańskojęzyczne stanowią większość. Mają one symbolizować postulowaną przez panslawizm koncepcję wspólnego rodowodu Słowian. Barwy te zostały przyjęte podczas I zjazdu wszechsłowiańskiego w Pradze w 1848.

Flagi z barwami pansłowiańskimi

Powstałe z barw pansłowiańskich
Flagi należące do państw istniejących i nieistniejących oraz do grup etnicznych i prowincji utworzone z barw pansłowiańskich:
  Chorwacja,
  Królestwo Jugosławii (1929–1941, 1945),
  Rosja,
  Serbia,
  Serbołużyczanie (Niemcy),
  Morawianie (Czechy),
  Słowacja,
  Słowenia,
 Protektorat Czech i Moraw (1939–1945),
 Karpatorusini (Polska, Ukraina, Słowacja, Serbia),
 Herceg-Bośnia (1991–1994),
 Republika Serbska (Bośnia i Hercegowina),
 Serbska Krajina (1991–1995),
 Królestwo SHS (1918–1929),
 Jugosławia (1945-1992),
 Królestwo Czarnogóry (1910–1918),
 Niepodległe Państwo Chorwackie (1941–1945),
 Serbia Nedicia (1941–1944),
 Niezależne Państwo Czarnogórskie (1941–1944),
 Wojwodina (Serbia),
 Cesarstwo Rosyjskie (1721–1917),
 Pierwsza Republika Słowacka (1939–1945),
 Państwo SHS (1918),
  Rząd Narodowy (sztandar powstańców styczniowych)
 Chorągiew Samarska (symbol walki o wyzwolenie Bułgarii),
 Państwo Rosyjskie (1918–1920).

Obecna Flaga Czech zawiera wszystkie barwy pansłowiańskie, jednak jej geneza jest zasadniczo inna. Są to historyczne barwy Czech – biała i czerwona, które dopiero w 1920 roku, we fladze Czechosłowacji, zostały uzupełnione o niebieską pochodzącą z barw Słowacji. Geneza pansłowiańska jest więc w tym przypadku pośrednia, jakkolwiek poparcie dla ruchu pansłowiańskiego w Czechach mogło być dodatkowym czynnikiem w wyborze barw państwowych. Obecna flaga Czech w zasadzie straciła ten pośredni rodowód, gdyż kolor niebieski stanowi w niej nawiązanie do barw Moraw, które nie mają pansłowiańskiej genezy.

Inne flagi

  Polska:
 pochodzenie: Zjednoczone Królestwo Polskie oraz  Księstwo Warszawskie.
  Białoruś:
 pochodzenie:  Białoruska SRR;
  flaga historyczna Białorusi postulowana przez ruch demokratyczny:
  Ukraina:
 pochodzenie:  Księstwo Halicko-Wołyńskie.
  Czarnogóra:
 pochodzenie:  Księstwo Czarnogóry.
  Macedonia Północna:
 pochodzenie:  Republika Kruszewska.

Flaga Polski i tradycyjna flaga Białorusi zawierają wprawdzie dwie z barw pansłowiańskich (białą i czerwoną), jednak są dużo starsze niż ruch panslawistyczny, pochodzą bowiem jeszcze ze średniowiecza i nawiązują do historycznych herbów Polski i Wielkiego Księstwa Litewskiego. Barwy pansłowiańskie posiadał sztandar oddziałów Rządu Narodowego w okresie Powstania Styczniowego. Miał symbolizować on jedność Polski, Litwy i Rusi w walce o wolność.

Flaga Białorusi obowiązująca od 1995 wywodzi się z Flagi Białoruskiej SRR. Flaga Ukrainy zawiera z kolei kolor błękitny, jednak również on nie ma związku z ruchem pansłowiańskim – barwy Ukrainy także wywodzą się ze średniowiecza i nawiązują do herbu Księstwa Halicko-Wołyńskiego, a bywają też interpretowane jako błękitne niebo nad polami zboża. Ponadto odcień niebieskiego na fladze Ukrainy jest wyraźnie jaśniejszy od tego znajdującego się na flagach wywodzących się z barw pansłowiańskich.

Flaga Czarnogóry była niegdyś wzorowana na fladze wszechsłowiańskiej (w układzie podobnym do flagi Serbii z tym wyjątkiem, że błękit miał jaśniejszy odcień), zmieniono ją jednak w 2004 roku. Czerwień w obecnej fladze Czarnogóry nie ma związku z ruchem pansłowiańskim (pochodzi ze sztandaru wojennego z okresu Księstwa Czarnogóry), podobnie jak we fladze Macedonii Północnej, której barwy pochodzą z czasów Republiki Kruszewskiej.

Kolory czerwień, błękit i biel, które symbolizują wolność i rewolucyjne ideały, widnieją także na flagach wielu innych państw, np. Holandii, Luksemburga, Francji czy Wielkiej Brytanii. Można znaleźć także te barwy na niektórych flagach jednostek administracyjnych w Federacji Rosyjskiej niemających słowiańskich korzeni. Tym samym mają one być demonstracją związku z Rosją i oddania jej.

Q: Can I define my own subclass of java.util.List? Can I define my own list in Java?
I have my own list-type class that is very similar to a LinkedList, called PersonList.
In another program, I'm using a Comparator, so I need to have a List() object as the parameter.
Is it possible to make the following statement, if I make changes in my code?
List list1= new PersonList();

PersonList doesn't extend or import anything.

A: You'd need to implement the built in interface java.util.List. It would need to define all the methods listed in the interface java.util.List.

A: You just have to overload the equals function which is implemented by every
class of Type Object (Every class). The list implementation will use your equals implementation due to the polymorphic concept of OOP.
I strongly recommend to use the given List implemenmtations because they meet all
performance issues you don't even think about. When you have concurrency issues refer to the documentation.
In order to achieve customized comparison you have to implement the Comparable interface
and implement its method toCompare(..);
In this way you can use all given Collection API classes and extend them using your own
comparison or equals algorithm which meets your application needs.
Update to to Comments
class Person implements Compareable {

  @override
  public int compareTo(Person p) {
    return p.age > this.age; //Or whatever
 }

   @Override
   equals(Object person) {
   if (person instanceof Person) {

     Person p = (Person)person;
     if (p.x == this.x &&
        p.y == this.y &&
        p.address.equals(this.address) {
        ...
        return true;
     }
    }
    return false;
  }
}

And now just intialize you list.
List<Person> personList = new ArrayList<Person>();
or
List<Persin> personList = new Vector<Person>();
or
LinkedList<Person> personList = new Queue<Person>();

and and and.

Collections.sort(personList);

A: To answer the question in the comment, "How would I go about writing my own Comparator for a Linked List?":
public class PersonListComparator implements Comparator<LinkedList> {
    @Override
    public int compare(LinkedList list1, LinkedList list2) {
        // something that returns a negative value if list1<list2, 0 if list1 and
        // list2 are equal, a positive value if list1>list2.
    }
}

See the javadoc for Comparator, especially the text at the top.  This explains what could happen if the compare function could return 0 when list1.Equals(list2) is false.  It's not necessarily a problem, depending on how you use it.
Note that I'm still assuming you want to compare entire lists (rather than just individual Persons).  Based on later comments, it looks like you want to compare Person objects, but provide different ways to compare ("depending on the different parameter being compared").  You could define more than one class that implements Comparator<Person>.  Or you could define a class that takes a parameter when you construct the object:
public enum ComparisonType { NAME, AGE, WEIGHT } // whatever

public class ComparePerson implements Comparator<Person> {
    private ComparisonType type;
    public ComparePerson(ComparisonType type) {
        this.type = type;
    }
    @Override
    public int compare(Person p1, Person p2) {
        switch(type) {
        case NAME:
            // return comparison based on the names
        case AGE:
            // and so on
        ...
        }
    }
}

I haven't tested this, so I could have made a mistake, but you get the idea.  Hope this helps, but it's still possible I've misunderstood what you're trying to do.

ART AND ENVIRONMENT Finnish painter Nanna Susi writes about her project, which came by almost like a surprise, walking on the beach of Villa Karo in April 2011.
Since I came to Villa Karo only for three weeks, I hadn't made any hard working plans for such a short time. It was clear that for an artist to experience the cultural atmosphere was the THING. But after three days I found myself picking up used plastic bags (that had contained drinking water) from the beach. Garbage, crap, hundreds of plastic bags all over.
I washed them, dried them and after that took them to a local sowing lady, Justine. Certainly she was a little bit amazed of the all the "Salut" bags with still some sand inside of them when I put them on her table and explained the project. She sew them all together in six hours maybe thinking at the same that I was a little weird. After that I hanged the work down from Villa Karo's balcony to measure the work's dimensions: 1,6m X 3,6m. I named the work "Walking on the beach". What a great transformation!
A local photographer came to take a picture of it with a conventional film camera, took the film to Cotonou and made three size A3 colour prints. He also framed them. One of them is given to Villa Karo.
I was inspired so much of doing something else than painting. So I started another project with a local carpenter. I had an idea of a big necklace. I found some wood and then the carpenter made twenty eight pieces out of it. He drilled holes through the pieces. I found an old rope on the floor at the shop. Then I bought some textiles and took them to Justine's. Then I drew two stars in the sand of her yard and I asked her to sow pillow-like stars to me. I put everything together at Villa Karo's studio. One neklace is one meter and forty centimeters tall with a black star, the other one is three meters tall with a golden star.

Q: DRF Serializers. Different fields on serialize and deserialize methods What is the best approach to have the same field name in Serializer but different behaviour on serializing and deserializing data? (I want to put only group_id on input and get full related info on the output)
So I want my schema looks like this when I input my data
{
  "group": 1,
  "other_fields": []
  ...
}

But got this (This is the way i want data looks like on the output only)
{
  "group": {
    "name": "string",
    "description": "string",
    "image": "string",
    "is_public": true
  },
  "other_fields": []
  ...
}

My serializer right now
class TaskSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    group = GroupSerializer()

    class Meta:
        model = Task
        fields = "__all__"

Edit: Added group serializer and my Group model. Nothing special
class GroupSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    class Meta:
        model = Group
        fields = "id", "owner", "name", "description", "image", "is_public"
        read_only_fields = "owner",

class Group(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=32)
    owner = models.ForeignKey("user.User", on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=32)
    image = models.ImageField(upload_to=func)
    is_public = models.BooleanField(default=True)

A: In your TaskSerializer class you are serializing group with GroupSerializer(), which serializes the relation as an object with the fields you specified in it's implementation.
You instead want to serialize a single field, for that you could use SlugRelatedField(slug_field='id') which serializes the relation as a single field from group.
Because your Group model doesn't have a primary key field, Django generates an automatic AutoField(primary_key=True) id field, thus you can use PrimaryKeyRlatedField().
Try:
class TaskSerializer(serializers.ModelSerializer):
    group = serializers.PrimaryKeyRelatedField()

    class Meta:
        model = Task
        fields = "__all__"

For more examples, I suggest reading this tip from testdriven.io.

I'm assistant chief on the highway patrol, so summer was a busy time for us first responders. I just couldn't believe that my house would burn down. We got a few things out that were immediately accessible. Our photos were a priority, but it was mostly the clothes on our backs. By the time we came to evacuate my daughter from her boyfriend's house, at 6.30pm or 7pm, the fire was totally different: tens of houses just going down as the tornado-like winds were picking up. I told them just to follow behind my lights and sirens, so I could get them to safety.
At 9.30 the next morning, my lieutenant called me. He said, "Chief, I don't know how to tell you this, but your house is gone." When I got up here, it was still on fire – some of the stuff was just collapsed and flames were burning throughout the property. I hugged my lieutenant. I started crying, he started crying – which you are never supposed to do on the highway patrol, right? But it was just for a moment – I realised I was just one of thousands of people who had lost their homes.
The fire started because an elderly couple were towing a trailer and the tyre blew. The wheel started sparking and caught the brush. I don't know about climate change but the conditions here are heavily wooded. A little bit of breeze and not too much in the way of moisture to combat it: it was the perfect storm.

Assuming the EU rotation chair on 1 July 2008 in a complex situation related to the negative outcome of the Irish referendum on the Lisbon Treaty ratification, France held out hopes that Europe would emerge stronger at the end of the year, capable of dealing with pressing problems. Bulgaria also had high expectations for the French Ppresidency in the second half of 2008. Several publications emphasized that the two countries were united by common European interests and that the partnership between them is based on a reciprocal confidence and respect. The French Parliament was the only one to have ratified Bulgaria's EU accession treaty unanimously. In Bulgaria, France as a whole is considered to be not just one of the founders of the European Community, but also a state with a long-term vision of the European project.
The visit of the Bulgarian Prime Minister Sergei Stanishev to Paris on 4 July 2008, was widely articulated in the media because this was the first meeting of Nicolas Sarkozy with a head of government in his two capacities – as President and as head of state of the EU's presiding country. Journalists stressed that Nicolas Sarkozy had lent a shoulder to Sergei Stanishev by saying he should be "the voice of reason and progress" in Central and Eastern Europe. The two signed an Agreement on a strategic partnership between Bulgaria and France. The document concerns the political and economic area, defence and armaments, security and migration issues; as well as culture, education and science. According to the Bulgarian Prime Minister, it is not a protocol agreement, because there is a concrete plan of action in all spheres. Another outcome of the visit was the deal for buying two French corvettes for the Bulgarian Navy. Prime Minister, Stanishev, also introduced the President to the work of the recently established State Agency for National Security. The two agreed that a French advisor would be appointed to assist the new structure.
The European Commission's report on Bulgaria's progress under six criteria in the sphere of Justice and Home Affairs, as well as on the appropriate absorption of EU funds was a central theme of the meeting. Prime Minister Stanishev informed Nicolas Sarkozy on what Bulgaria had accomplished in reforming the judiciary system and in cutting down corruption and organized crime. The French President highlighted that he would insist on a balanced European Commission report, rendering account of all achievements of the country. The statement kept up hopes that France would defend Bulgaria from the harsh criticism of Brussels. The Bulgarian Minister of European Affairs Gergana Grancharova even noticed that one of the key events, which the government expected to take place during the French Presidency, is to put frozen EU funds back on track.
However, reality proved to be different and far more sombre. The progress report, published on 23 July 2008, indicated a clear lack of results in combating organized crime and high-level corruption. The second document on the management and utilization of EU funds by Bulgaria was in the same light of alarming signals of incapacity to absorb the grants. The commentaries on these sore topics dominated the press pages during the second half of 2008 and overshadowed the expectations for the French Presidency and its achievements. The evaluations of Bulgarian political analysts sounded in harmony with the words of France's ambassador to Bulgaria Etienne de Poncins that Bulgaria is not one of the problems for the EU, but for itself.
The critical tone of the European Commission was not met with disapproval by Bulgarians. The results of sociological surveys showed that around 45 percent of the polled approved the European Commission's hard stance towards the country expressed through the report and European pressure on the government via financial sanctions. Meanwhile, however, around 35-40 percent claimed that criticism is well deserved but the citizens should not be deprived of EU funds because such shortcomings exist in other countries, as well.
Beside the financial crisis, another crisis confronting the French Presidency with the potential to shake the EU to its very foundations was also in the focus of media reflection. The institutional paralysis of the EU and the ratification process of the Lisbon Treaty attracted the attention in the context of the Irish referendum. The negative Irish vote overshadowed ambitious French plans. Bulgarian officials took the view that Ireland's 'No' should be regarded as a problem rather than as a crisis. However, journalists and experts described the referendum in the light of its role in revealing the gap between public opinion and political elites. Besides, according to media reports, the blockage stimulates the voices who plead for the concept of a "two-speed" Europe, which is against the interests of Bulgaria.
Comments on the implications, messages and lessons from the Irish referendum were widely covered in the media. Numerous publications offered viewpoints on the future of the Treaty of Lisbon. Journalists and experts were divided on this issue. Many considered the Reform Treaty crucial for the functioning of the EU and questioned the admissibility of 1 percent of EU citizens to block a project concerning another 480 million Europeans. In this regard, analysts proposed that the principle of unanimity in taking decisions should be revised. Another group of experts criticized the position of the French President in defining the negative vote as an incident. In their opinion the Irish 'No' puts under question the building up of Europe because of the crisis of trust between citizens and leaders.
Bulgarian media noticed that Ireland, as a member of the EU for 35 years, has been among the poorest countries of the continent, but has benefited most from joining the Union. For that reason there is a high level of support in the country for EU membership. Currently, the financial crisis intensifies the need for access to the single market of 500 million consumers.
Several publications pointed at the possibility of holding a second referendum in Ireland as an acceptable solution. A similar approach was pursued with regard to the Treaty of Nice. However, according to sociological drills, many people oppose the idea. On the one hand, pressing Ireland to repeat the referendum may increase negative attitudes to the treaty. There is also a political problem: how to communicate that the people, who have made a democratic decision, have to vote again in order to give "the correct answer". The French Presidency proposed a practical formula with the hope that it will be sufficient to enable a positive result in a new referendum. As part of a compromise package, every country would have a Commissioner and Ireland would have guarantees for its neutrality, fiscal independence and family law.
Experts assessing the French Presidency gave positive estimates of Nicolas Sarkozy's reaction to the crisis in Georgia while emphasizing his words that the main aim had been to take responsibility for the country at EU level and not to fall into the same trap as in Bosnia, where the USA had taken the lead and Europe followed. In the defence sphere, French efforts were described in the context of the country's reintegration into NATO.
Many analysts criticized the French Presidency for concessions on the climate change package. Their opponents noted that it had been a huge success because it was a product of consensus and had signaled that the EU would continue to take the lead on climate matters and to seek tangible commitments from the USA and other polluters worldwide.
Bulgaria and France cooperated in several spheres in the framework of the EU. They had similar stands on the Lisbon Treaty, the Common Agricultural Policy, the development of a single energy market, the future of nuclear power generation, and on the European Neighbourhood Policy. The two countries share the same views on preserving the current tools of assistance to the agricultural sector and rural development without losing the prospects for direct payments. As an external border of the EU, Bulgaria also had a positive attitude to the drafting of the European Pact on Immigration and Asylum.
As a whole, the French Presidency was assessed as an active and productive one, which will be remembered because of the seriousness of the events of this half year. Three years after French voters rejected the constitutional project that plunged the EU into a long-lasting crisis, President Sarkozy fulfilled his promise to put his country "back in Europe". France faced the difficult issue of finding a way to resolve the EU institutional impasse and to continue the process of reforms in the bloc.
In complete contrast to the high expectations for the French Presidency, the ones for the Czech mandate are relatively low. Experts and politicians questioned how Prague would helm the EU with the Czech president being Eurosceptic. The media image of Vaclav Klaus is one of an outspoken critic of the EU and especially of the climate change legislation as a "silly luxury" that will aggravate the global financial crisis. According to Klaus, the Czech Presidency of the EU is an insignificant event. Journalists stressed that the President has refused to fly the EU flag over public buildings such as the Prague Castle.
Bulgarian media stressed that the Czech Presidency will be a crucial period for the EU with a view to such tasks as coping with the financial crisis, preparing summits with new US President Barack Obama, Russian and Chinese leaders, as well as holding elections for the European Parliament. Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanék should also tackle the issue with the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty in his country. However, a burning question remains: Would President Klaus exercise his veto? Observers commented that, in the eyes of the Prime Minister, the future of the Czech Republic fits into the Euro-Atlantic rather than in the European perspective and for that reason for him the American missile defence shield is more important than the ratification of the Reform Treaty.
The three big 'E's (economy, energy, external relations), which sum up the key priorities of the Czech Presidency, are of great importance for Bulgaria. This applies also to the plan for launching the Eastern Partnership initiative. Bulgarian media also shared the expectation that the Czech Presidency would reconsider the system of financing in the field of agriculture, seeking to reduce differences in payments to old and new members.

A woman confronts her ex, who cheated on her so many times he lost count of his infidelities, in a heart-wrenching viral video.
Kourtney Jorge and Leonard Long III, two young American exes, bravely confront each other in the name of healing and moving on after their painful break up on The Scene's YouTube channel.
Rather callously named 'Hurt Bae' by Twitter, a raw and emotional Kourtney was given the chance to ask her ex why he cheated.
One time I went to his room and he had someone else in his room and he told me to leave. And I went back to my room and I just cried… The whole night.
Responding to Kourtney's upsetting account – the likes of which drove her to check his phone in fits of distrust – Leonard explained why he cheated with the audacity of a bull in a china shop trampling all over his ex's shattered feelings and fragile ego.
There was kind of a point when things weren't the same.
Just like, you would always go through my phone or my computer. If you would go to that measure to find whatever, why wouldn't you just leave?
Undoubtedly, Leonard's inability to take responsibility for his wrong-doings will grate on the nerves of anyone who has been been in a skewed, ego-damaging relationship.
Equally, his advice to 'just leave' is about as helpful as a hole in the head. Upon hearing his callous response, Kourtney took some time to compose herself.
It had more to do with me just not being able to commit because at the time I really didn't want to. Sometimes we're just not on the same page.
There's nothing that you could've done differently that would've prevented it. I think you did everything that you needed to do to be a good girlfriend and I was lucky to have someone like you.
At least #Hurtbae got a chance to confront him. Most of us end relationships not knowing why dude did whatever he did.
If you're going through a bad break up, The Scene's experiment might make you empathise with Kourtney – or Leonard – and feel things that reopen old wounds.
But at least the confrontation shows that there's a light at the end of the tunnel, albeit the cold and callous light of hindsight shining on an ex who wasn't the person you thought.

Q: Feign Client communication in predix (Cloud Foundry) I have 2 microservices built using Netflix eureka. They communicate using feign client. In my local environment feign client works without any issue. But in the Predix (a cloud foundry) environment they fail to communicate. Feign client always gives connection time out error. As found that feign client try to connect using instance ip address (I think feign client uses the internal ip address). Is there a way to fix this issue, may be enabling container communication or using public uri
EDIT:
I managed to get the public url by changing hostname like below.
eureka:
 instance:
  hostname: ${vcap.application.uris[0]}

but in the eureka server it register as ${vcap.application.uris[0]}:[random port] (like xxxxxx.run.aws-usw02-pr.ice.predix.io:61142/yyy)
is there a way to remove that random port.

A: We have managed to fix feign client issue using following configuration,
eureka:
  client:
    serviceUrl:
      defaultZone: https://someeurekaserver/eureka/
    registerWithEureka: true
    fetchRegistry: false
    healthcheck:
      enabled: true
  instance:
    hostname: ${vcap.application.application_uris[0]}
    instanceId: ${spring.application.name}:${random.int}
    secure-port: 443
    non-secure-port: 443
    secure-port-enabled: true
    non-secure-port-enabled: false
    preferIpAddress: false
    leaseRenewalIntervalInSeconds: 10
    home-page-url: https://${eureka.instance.hostname}:${eureka.instance.secure-port}
    secure-virtual-host-name: https://${vcap.application.application_uris[0]}

importance configuration is secure-virtual-host-name: https://${vcap.application.application_uris[0]}

A: There's currently no way to assign a specific port to an application running in Predix Cloud Foundry.  CF assigns a random port, as you've discovered, but this is only used inside the CF environment.  Any other microservice/client/application should only use port 443 for HTTPS.  So, maybe you can hardcode your Eureka client to use 443, if possible.


I still wonder WHY after ALL these years …No one (including ) the Jewish community WONT ask Ellie Wiesel to ROLL UP HIS SLEEVES ! ??? .
A very simple ASK !
So forget the Jewish community and ask why won't the Christian community ask to see it? Oh, I forgot, the Christian community has been co-opted into the Jewish community. There's the real answer to why he doesn't have to roll up his sleeves. We're all Jews now.
I think you all are barking up the wrong tree. Mr. Wiesel has a marking and I have seen it. He is a very humble and private man that doesn't like to talk much about the past. Now, would you if you had lived through this? Think of the solders who are coming back with PTSD, do they speak about what happened to them, no! My point.
Leave the Professor alone and let him live his last days in peace.
What a joker you are, "Nurse." Do you think that I was born yesterday or that I haven't heard it all from people like you? A marking? What is a "marking" and why don't you describe it?
Wiesel is "humble and private" and doesn't talk much about the past? Do you know him? Of course you don't. He has sought fame and fortune from an early age by being a front man for the holocaust lie. He craves publicity; he's written 50 books! Look at the cover of the new book "Holocaust High Priest" by Warren B. Routledge and you will see Wiesel schmoozing with every U.S. president since Jimmy Carter.
Since he was never in either german camp he says he was in, he cannot have PTSD. He's not a professor either, having never even finished high school. Every single thing about him is fraudulent. He's a product of the "Holocaust Industry" and more people should be engaged in outing him.
Even if Mr. Wiesel had a marking, which he hasn´t, that would prove absolutely nothing.
Anyone could have had a small tatoo put on his arm in 1945. Maybe by the help of an american soldier. Knowing that a number on the arm would be very rewarding. Much for the financial privileges, but maybe more so for the astonishing effect it would have on people when you show them your arm.

Courses Computing and IT Game Design and Development Game design course lets Mitchell pursue his passions
Game design course lets Mitchell pursue his passions
A game design course has proved ideal in enabling Holmesglen student Mitchell Newman to combine his twin loves of art and computers.
Mitchell plans to use his course to explore an industry where job opportunities include game designer, 3D modeller and VR developer.
"I felt Holmesglen could help me succeed," he says of his decision to study a game design diploma at our Moorabbin campus.
"I've have made a lot of friends and the teachers really care about me."
Mitchell is now bringing his budding game design skills to a national audience at WorldSkills – Australia's largest skills competition.
"It's a great achievement," he says. "I get to work with so many talented people and have learned a lot from my teammate. He gives me the passion to want to do as well as possible."
To prepare, Mitchell has practised in simulated competitions in the classroom, producing mini video games to test his skills and ingenuity.
He says exploring his creativity has been the most fulfilling aspect of the course.
"Being able to bring your ideas to life, from mind to paper, then to a moving character on your screen, is rewarding."
What can you learn with a game design course?
Game design students learn technical and interactive skills most relevant for jobs in game development and virtual reality.
Many start with a certificate IV course, progressing onto a diploma.
Students undertaking the ICT40120 Certificate IV in Information Technology (Gaming Development) learn key skills including 3D modelling and sculpting, asset and level design, animation, and UI development.
The dual program ICT50220 Diploma of Information Technology (Game Art and Design) with Diploma of Information Technology (Game Programming) ICT50220 builds on these skills and develops students' knowledge of C# programming and 3D artwork techniques.
Mitchell says the diploma has given him a well-rounded view of the gaming industry, working from prototypes and gaming products, to learning how to make your game designs stand out.
"I have learned a lot about the game development industry – not only how to make games but also how sales work and how to market yourself and make a brand."
Mitchell's advice for prospective game design students
"Don't head into your course thinking you will produce the next Triple A (high selling) game.
"Be humble and ready to learn from not only your teachers but also your classmates.
"If there is one thing more important than anything in this industry, it's friends, connections and community."

Visionary Campaign
About Our Vision
"Through the incredible generosity of our local community members, we were able to raise over $75,000 for the Oak Orchard club our first year," said Leanne Silicato Prosser, Event Chair. "The money was spent on essential building improvements to the existing space, which included a new multipurpose room, new flooring, parking lot improvements, as well as summer camp scholarships for children."
Last year, at the 2nd Annual Great Futures Gala we raised an incredible $150,000.00! All funds will go towards a building expansion to create more classroom space for the existing K-8 program (PHASE 1). With the funds from this gala, we still need over 295k to make this Phase 1 expansion a reality.
The Boys and Girls Club of Oak Orchard currently provides services for over 100 children on a daily basis in their facility located on Oak Orchard Road in Millsboro. "We run before- and after-school programs, a preschool, and a summer camp program here," said Erica Kennedy, Director at BGC Oak Orchard. "The current programs are running on all cylinders; however, we currently have over a four page waiting list of youth in grades K-8 that would like to attend our Club and we simply don't have the space."
With the Oak Orchard, Millsboro, and Long Neck areas growing quickly, the need for more services at the Boys and Girls Club is apparent. The long-term goal for the club is an expansion of the existing facility in order to serve more local children and families. This includes the creation of a Teen Program, providing a safe space for children in grades 9-12 to complete homework and play sports each day.
"This is probably our most important goal at this point," said Kathleen Schell, one of the committee chairs. "We need to provide the funding and vision for this program and building to become a reality for these kids. We are incredibly grateful for the community's support to help develop this vision into reality."
"We are thrilled with the generosity of our community," said Nicole Silicato Miller, event co-chair. "Our vision is to provide a safe place for all children in the Oak Orchard area to be able to play and learn after-school and during the summer months. The funds raised from this gala, and all other donations, go a long way to making that possible."

Q: Read only the numbers from a txt file python I have a text file that contains these some words and a number written with a point in it. For example
hello!
54.123
Now I only want the number 54.123 to be extracted an converted so that the outcome is 54123
The code I tried is
import re
exp = re.compile(r'^[\+]?[0-9]')

my_list = []
with open('file.txt') as f:
    lines = f.readlines()
    for line in lines:
        if re.match(exp, line.strip()):
            my_list.append(int(line.strip()))

#convert to a string
listToStr = ' '.join([str(elem) for elem in my_list])
print(listToStr)

But this returns the error: ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '54.123'
Does anyone know a solution for this?

A: This may help I am now getting numbers from the file I guess you were trying to use split in place of strip
import re
exp = re.compile(r'[0-9]')

my_list = []
with open('file.txt') as f:
    lines = f.readlines()
    for line in lines:
        for numbers in line.split():
            if re.match(exp, numbers):
                my_list.append(numbers)

#convert to a string
listToStr = ' '.join([str(elem) for elem in my_list])
print(listToStr)

A: You can check if a given line is a string representing a number using the isdigit() function.
From what I can tell you need to just check if there is a number as isdigit() works on integers only (floats contain "." which isn't a number and it returns False).
For example:
def numCheck(string):
  # Checks if the input string contains numbers
  return any(i.isdigit() for i in string)

string = '54.123'
print(numCheck(string)) # True

string = 'hello'
print(numCheck(string)) # False

Note: if your data contains things like 123ab56 then this won't be good for you.

To convert 54.123 to 54123 you could use the replace(old, new) function.
For example:
string = 54.123
new_string = string.replace('.', '') # replace . with nothing
print(new_string) # 54123

A: You can try to convert the current line to a float. In case the line does not contain a legit float number it returns a ValueError exception that you can catch and just pass. If no exception is thrown just split the line at the dot, join the 2 parts, convert to int and add to the array.
my_list = []
with open('file.txt') as f:
    lines = f.readlines()
    for line in lines:
        try:
            tmp = float(line)
            num = int(''.join(line.split(".")))
            my_list.append(num)
        except ValueError:
            pass

#convert to a string
listToStr = ' '.join([str(elem) for elem in my_list])
print(listToStr)


The much talked about and the newly introduced Canada Express Entry Programme of Canada is essentially an online immigration and visa programme tailored to increase the pace of the admission of the global skilled workers to Canada. It acts as a sort of link between the job seekers and the recruiters keen to hire trained manpower to fill the different vacancies in the job market.
Thanks to the Express Entry Programme, skilled applicants can now move to the destination in a swift manner. They also get linked to the different employers in the country. The programme also significantly reduces paperwork.
And if you are an employer, using the programme you can choose the best trained international candidates. You may also get your employees to the Maple Leaf Country rapidly without having to wait for long.
Yes, brought into existence on the lines of Skill Select of Australia Express Entry Programme is allegedly aimed towards offering great benefits to the trained overseas people, permitting them to easily move to the destination and make handy contributions to the nation's specific labor market requirements.
Express Entry Programme generates best profile of the applicants, on the basis of their abilities and experience, even as those keen to shift to the hotspot, as per this new arrangement, can either obtain a skilled employment offer, get duly nominated, via provincial nomination, or may register selves under the job bank.
Employment Offer: Under the class the candidate gets nominated either via the Federal Skilled Worker Programme, the Canadian Experience Class, or the Federal Skilled Trades Programme. It necessitates the applicants to fulfill every eligibility condition, as per the Express Entry arrangement and obtain a skilled job offer from a recruiter/job-provider in the nation.
Through a provincial nomination: Under the arrangement, the qualified foreign nationals, who fail to get any employment offer from the three economic immigration schemes, may get a nomination from any of the provinces or territories in the country in regard to the Provincial nomination program. The corridor permits the candidates to gain Invitation to Apply (ITA) from a specific province in the nation with a positive Labor Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) of the recruiter/firm in that province.
Job bank: The applicants, who fail to get any job offer from either via the economic immigration plans or via the provincial nomination, will be duly registered under the job bank of Express Entry. It is basically a place where the recruiters can access their profile and provide them ITAs as per their particular needs and necessities.
The forthcoming candidates should make Express Entry profiles, mentioning their skill sets, educational qualifications and employment experience.
Register with Canada Job Bank for better position in the pool and to dramatically improve your chances of getting an ITA for the Canada PR Visa with the IRCC.
Every profile found to be correct will move into the pool for Express Entry.
The involved parties (recruiters /local authorities/Provincials), with access to the pool, will confirm the profiles and accordingly issue an ITA to the potential candidates.
The selected applicants can then present an application for the prized permanent residency/immigration, via the individual economic immigration schemes.
Every person can present a petition for the Canada Express Entry Programmes regardless of their professions, as against other Canada immigration plans, where it was mandatory for a person to have experience in any of the line-of-work, given on the nation's qualified occupations list.
The terms & conditions for the programme are not much different from what one gets to find under the Federal Skilled Worker Programme (FSWP). Under the latest arrangement, the candidates are not considered on the first-come-first-serve-basis. In its place, the focus is on excellence. Under the system, the possible immigrants are evaluated on the basis of their education, language skills, Canadian work experience, age and other characteristics that may result in their success in the nation.
While we are on the subject, let's check this relevant news report!
As per a report, a combined total of 2,772 applicants have been provided with an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in the most recent Express Entry Programme draw which occurred on September 6. The draw in question witnessed a minimum Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score obligation of 435. So, candidates in the Express Entry Pool, with a total of 435 or more at the time of the draw, may presently submit an application for the PR standing in the nation.
