Q: Netbeans manifest - layer.xml not found I am working on a Netbeans RCP application with Flamingo ribbon and I have recently "mavenize" the whole project. Everything was working smoothly except for the Flamingo ribbon which was not displaying anymore.
I found that the problem is in the missing path to the layer.xml file in the manifest file.
In the previous (non-maven) project, the manifest was located in the root directory. In the new (maven) project, it is under src/main/nbm/manifest. I opened the manifest and inserted the path to the layer.xml file but it seems that the Layer.xml is not registered
This is how my manifest looks like:
Manifest-Version: 1.0
OpenIDE-Module: cz.project.appcore
OpenIDE-Module-Localizing-Bundle: cz/project/appcore/Bundle.properties
OpenIDE-Module-Layer: cz/project/layer.xml
OpenIDE-Module-Requires: org.openide.windows.WindowManager
OpenIDE-Module-Specification-Version: 1.0

The structure of my project is standard maven structure:
src/main/java/project/appcore contains Bundle.properties
src/main/java/project/ contains layer.xml
src/main/nbm/ contains manifest.mf
Could you tell me where the problem is? Thank you for any tips...
EDIT: In short, in the non-Maven project, the paths in Manifest to the layers are present. In the Maven project, I had to copy them to the manifest manually but it didnt help and nothing gets displayed at all. What am I doing wrong?
EDIT: POM.xml:
<build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
                <artifactId>nbm-maven-plugin</artifactId>
                <extensions>true</extensions>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                <configuration>
                    <useDefaultManifestFile>true</useDefaultManifestFile>
                </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>

A: any non java files are to be placed under src/main/resources, so your layer file should be at src/main/resources/cz/project/layer.xml.
Alternatively please check that the manifest file in generated jar file is actually showing entries from src/main/nbm/manifest.mf. If not, please check the maven-jar-plugin configuration . Typically your config you be equal to what gets generated by netbeans when you create a new nb platform module.

Ghana challenges slow Pecan development for Aker
by Ed Reed
01/11/2019, 11:00 am Updated: 01/11/2019, 4:33 pm
Aker Energy has changed its plans to develop the Pecan field in Ghana in the face of regulatory complexity.
The company opted to shift its develop plan for the Deepwater Tano/Cape Three Points (DWT/CTP) block in October, it said, with a new focus on a simpler technical concept that will reduce the amount of investment needed. This will "protect the robustness of the project", Aker Energy's parent Aker said, exploiting a gross contingent resource of 450-550 million barrels. Volumes in the broader area have been put by Aker Energy at 600 million to 1 billion barrels.
The change will involve delays but Aker's president and CEO Øyvind Eriksen said this would "de-risk the project and, hence, protect significant values in Ghana".
Aker Energy's previous plan for development and operation (PDO) had been to cover "all resources, including future tie-ins and new discoveries". The company acknowledged that it had underestimated the complexity of such an all-encompassing move, not least in the way in which it required additional regulatory support.
"Aker Energy genuinely believed that such an approach would be to the benefit of the host country, Ghana, but that it would also enable operators to take a strategic perspective beyond individual fields. Some regulatory changes are likely to be proposed by the government of Ghana, though not to the extent requested in the PDO. Hence, Aker Energy is changing its strategic approach," said Eriksen, in Aker's third quarter announcement.
The focus will be on making the Pecan development feasible on a standalone basis, the executive continued. "Opportunities to simplify the technical concept, reduce the amount of investment and cost reductions will be implemented." He went on to say that plans involving local industry would be "benchmarked against proposals from other suppliers".
Aker Energy's next step would be for the PDO on Pecan to be approved, under the 2006 regulations, which would be followed by a final investment decision (FID). The company will also consider M&A options, Aker said, to diversify its portfolio. It has previously raised the possibility of holding an IPO for Aker Energy in late 2019 or 2020, but this was contingent on approval of the PDO.
A first PDO was submitted by Aker Energy in late March. The company was asked to resubmit its plan in mid-year. There have been a number of objections to Aker Energy's requests from local groups.
IMANI Africa has been highly critical of the company's plans to put forward a development proposal covering such a broad area. Under Ghanaian law, areas not defined as holding a discovery are to be relinquished at certain points in the holding of a licence. IMANI criticised the Ministry of Energy for failing to pursue Ghana's best interests.
Ghana and Aker Energy have signed a deal with a stability provision, which the company said would protect it from changes in legislation after 2006. The country passed the Petroleum (Exploration and Production) Act in 2016
The Petroleum Agreement already approved by the government of Ghana contains a stability provision protecting Aker Energy from adverse consequences of changes in legislation or administrative practices after it was approved by the Ghanaian Parliament in 2006.
The complexity of working in Ghana poses a challenge, with contracts over a certain value needing to be approved by the Petroleum Commission. The number of approvals this would require for Pecan is more than 2,000, Aker said. As a result, the company put forward suggestions to change the regulatory framework "to make development and operations more predictable and robust".

Boost Mobile Community Knowledge Base
Joining Boost Knowledge Base
Boost 4G Frequently Asked Questions
4G is the fourth generation of mobile telecommunications technology, succeeding and used alongside 3G. Boost customers will access 4G on the Telstra Mobile network which uses the 1800MHz and 700MHz bands, depending on device capability and location. To access the full 4G footprint, devices need to support both these bands.
4G is typically faster than 3G. With Boost you'll be able to enjoy typical 4G download speeds of 2Mbps – 50Mbps across the largest 4G coverage area of any mobile network in Australia.
When is it coming and how will I know if I have 4G?
4G will be available to Boost Customers from September 29th 2015.
If your device is 4G compatible and you are within a 4G coverage area, your device, depending on what it is, will generally display either "4G" or "LTE" on the screen next to the signal bars.
What is the difference between 3G and 4G?
The term 3G means the third generation of mobile phone telephony, What's the difference to 4G? With 4G you get faster download speeds than 3G when you are using a 4G device in 4G coverage areas, which is better for video calling and streaming.
What are the typical download and upload speeds of 4G?
Typical download speeds for Boost customers with 4G compatible devices when in 4G coverage areas will be from 2 to 50Mbps and typical upload speeds from 1 to 10Mbps.
Speeds may vary for a variety of reasons including location, distance from base stations, terrain, user numbers, hardware / software configuration, download source and upload destination.
Does 4G cost extra?
Everything is charged the same regardless of whether you're on 4G or 3G.
As 4G can lead to faster downloads, you might find you use more data sooner if your usage pattern changes compared to how you currently use your device. For example, if you change your usage pattern (e.g. watch more streaming video) then you will use more data sooner.
Accessing 4G may come at a cost for you if you need to purchase a 4G compatible handset. However, you can still enjoy Boost on 3G so upgrading your phone is optional.
How do I get on 4G?
You'll need a 4G 1800MHz compatible device to access 4G and ideally one that also supports 4G on 700MHz to access the full 4G footprint (see your device manual).
All existing customers in a 4G coverage area will have the ability to access 4G with a 4G compatible device. Check out our coverage map to see if you are in a 4G coverage area.
Will I need a new SIM to get 4G?
No, all existing and new Boost customers will have access to 4G with compatible device in 4G areas without needing to buy a new SIM.
Can I keep my existing Boost number when I get 4G?
Yes you can (and automatically will) keep the same number when 4G becomes available
I don't get 4G in my area so will my phone service still work if I'm on Boost?
Yes it will. Boost uses 3G and 4G on the Telstra Mobile Network. If 4G is not available, you'll automatically switch to our fastest available 3G in other coverage areas around Australia.
What happens if I'm driving and drop out of a 4G area into a 3G area?
You'll automatically switch to our fastest available 3G. The Telstra Mobile Network is the largest mobile network in Australia covering more than 2.4 Million square kilometres (99.3% of Australia's population).
Can I access 4G overseas? If so, where? If not, what can I access?
To roam overseas you will need to purchase a Boost Add-on. You can check network availability in your overseas destination here
I have a 3G handset, can I still get 4G?
No, you will need a 4G 1800MHz capable device to access 4G and ideally one that also supports 4G on 700MHz to access the full 4G footprint.
Can I still sign up to Boost if I only have a 3G handset?
You sure can; all existing and new Boost customers with a 3G handset can continue to enjoy our great plans and service on 3G on the Telstra Mobile Network. Check that your handset is 3G-850MHz compatible.
Which devices in Boost's range are 4G ready?
On the 29th of September, we are launching the Alcatel Onetouch Quatro 4G handset. We will continue to grow our range of 4G handsets in the coming months. You can bring your own 4G device to Boost as long as it's compatible with our network; 1800MHz plus 700MHz to access the full 4G footprint.
Will my device always stay connected to 4G?
The Telstra Mobile Network offers 4G in all the capital CBD's, many suburban areas and in over 600 regional towns across Australia, reaching around 94% of the population today, and 3G in other coverage areas around Australia.

Excellent. Thank you.


The data of full-waveform inversion often contains noise, which induces uncertainties in the inversion results. Ideally, one would like to run a number of independent inversions with different realizations of the noise and assess model-side uncertainties from the resulting models, however this is not feasible because we collect the data only once. To circumvent this restriction, various sampling schemes have been devised to generate an ensemble of models that fit the data to within the noise level. Such sampling schemes typically involve running multiple inversions or evaluating the Hessian of the cost function, both of which are computationally expensive. In this work, we propose a new method to quantify uncertainties based on a novel formulation of the full-waveform inversion problem – wavefield reconstruction inversion. Based on this formulation, we formulate a semidefinite approximation of the corresponding Hessian matrix. By precomputing certain quantities, we are able to apply this Hessian to given input vectors without additional solutions of the underlying partial differential equations. To generate a sample, we solve an auxiliary stochastic optimization problem involving this Hessian. The result is a computationally feasible method that, with little overhead, can generate as many samples as required at small additional cost. We test our method on the synthetic BG Compass model and compare the results to a direct-sampling approach. The results show the feasibility of applying our method to computing statistical quantities such as the mean and standard deviation in the context of wavefield reconstruction inversion.

The annual dose of the official Formula One video game returns in 2015, but this time it just might be something to be excited about. The F1 series has struggled for innovation over the past few years as Codemasters first attempt in 2009 almost set the bar too high for themselves. The graphics were already fantastic six years ago and so there was minimal room for improvement in the years that followed, but with F1 2014 being an exclusively last-gen product, Codemasters has had more time to focus on bringing the next outing in the series to Xbox One and PS4.
A few screenshots have been leaked today showing the graphical upgrade. The game doesn't look much better at the moment than its predecessors but that's because they were well ahead of their time anyway. Regardless, a visual improvement is certainly recognizable , notably in the textures and details on the scenery around the track. Here's hoping that the leap to current-gen consoles will allow Codemasters to create a breathtaking simulator once more.


And I feel that time's a wasted go.
tomorrow? And I see that these are lies to come.

And I feel, so much depends on the weather.

The five-a-side tournament, which took place on world suicide prevention day, was organised by the South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust alongside charity MIND.
Suicide is the leading cause of death for people in the UK aged 20-34 and also is the biggest cause of death for males below the age of 50.
It is a topic which has touched the hearts of everyone surrounding Barnsley Football Club following the passing of supporter Liam Jones.
Liam, a passionate and loyal Reds fan, sadly took his own life at the age of just 24 earlier this year.
The Liam Jones Legacy, a suicide awareness and support group founded in his memory, were in attendance at last night's tournament, with the Samaritans also providing information and support.
Over 80 players took part in the tournament, raising vital funds for the SWYPT, MIND and the Liam Jones Legacy.
Cllr Steve Green, Mayor of Barnsley, opened the evening's proceedings and enjoyed being part of such an important and successful occasion.
He said: "I wasn't aware of the number of people who commit suicide until I came here. There's so many men who have suicidal thoughts. It is absolutely vital that we get the message out. The amount of people who've turned up and the organisation involved has been fantastic.
Paula Rylatt, suicide prevention lead with the South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, spoke about the importance of raising awareness.
She said: "It's fantastic to be here. It's brilliant to see so many teams. We need to talk about suicide everyday. You see a lot of the mantras around like 'it's good to talk' and 'it's okay to talk' and its great to have an event like this where you can bring that home and make people aware of it. Men are the biggest target group who are at risk as well as any people under the age of 35. With football, you're using something that people are happy to engage with to reach out to their level.
Barnsley FC have also collaborated with a number of local groups to create the #AlrightPal? campaign, demonstrating the huge impact simply asking if someone is 'alright' can have in preventing suicide.


Rather than reiterate Morrison's importance as an African-American writer, the conference, 'Global Morrison', will draw together scholars to analyse the transnational and diasporic dimensions of her work; investigate, problematise and renew the critical language of postcolonial/transnational studies through attention to the relationship between canonicity, gender and fundamentalisms in a post-9/11, post-Obama world; consider the as yet unexplored inter-textual relationship between Morrison's work and the novels of West African writers such as Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, NoViolet Bulaweyo and Taiye Selasi. The complexities involved in translating Morrison's work will also be investigated and there will be contributions exploring the reception of her fiction and criticism across the world, for example, in France, Japan, South Africa and the Caribbean.
Toni Morrison's articulations of race, slavery, gender and history have secured her place within the literary canon and garnered extensive comment in contemporary criticism. Less evident are examinations of Morrison's fiction and essays that emanate from global, transnational and diasporic perspectives and allow for an understanding of her engagement with global movements of peoples, Black Atlantic cultures and emerging postcolonial interest in ecocriticism, universalism and cosmopolitanism. Early Morrison scholarship necessitated important critical interventions as forms of strategic essentialism to emphasise the racial specificity of her novels by privileging folk oral tradition as an authentic source of African-American literature. Morrison's international stature, and her elaborations on post-racial, post-nationalist identities now reverberate with wider, global concerns in literary criticism and theory. In The Cambridge Introduction to Toni Morrison (2013) Tessa Roynon refers to the 2010 Toni Morrison Society Conference in Paris as 'a watershed moment – the first event of its kind to be held outside the United States, it included scholars from every continent, whose readings of her work took for granted and worked within her status as a central figure in transnational intellectual history' (Roynon, 2013: 112).

Q: a difference quotient question
Regarding the part marked in green: How does f(x+h) become 5(x+h)

A: This is trivial.
Let y = x+h
Then what is f(y)?

A: Recall function notation.  If $f(x)=5x$, then $f(something)=5\cdot(something)$.  Now let $something$ be $(x+h)$.

A: In words, $f$ is the function that takes a real number $x$ as input and returns the real number $5x$ as output:  it just multiplies the input by five.
If the input happens to be the expression $x + h$ (a sum of two numbers, which is another number, after all), then the output is $5$ times that expression, namely
$$
5(x + h).

The last month has kept me busy. Aside from the usual veggie and flower garden and healthy body upkeep, there has been plenty of activity in the basement studio.
And next up…. another commissioned piece for Exempla Saint Joseph Hospital as a result of a proposal I submitted earlier this year.
The St. Joe piece will measure 3 x 11 feet, and I'll be using three birch panels – for practical reasons mostly. Easier to handle, they will actually fit in my car, and the image swoops up and down in essentially three sections, so will work well in those successive formats.
In all these years of painting, I've never done a work on commission before- assumed at worst it would involve pleasing a fussy or indecisive client, and at best finding a balance between friendly collaboration and protecting my own interests. Now, I'm starting my second within a month. Goes to show you never can know what is around the corner.
Here's a look at the various stages of the "Arapahoe Vines" painting. I began with very vague set of guidelines, and went from there.
And now I'm planning some specific strategies to help make the next big one go even smoother. One good thing is that I'll be working from a specific pre-existing proposal that the client wants. I know the color choices in advance, the composition, etc…. and for the first large broad layers, I am going to use a roller commonly used in inking printing plates. And…. I have more than three weeks to get 'er done.
It's a good thing to be handed a challenge that makes one step outside of routine, or comfort.
And I feel very gratified that both of these works are in public locations, where patients and their families can interact with and be enriched by them on a daily basis.

Thanks. Sometimes seems like 2 steps ahead and several backwards but I'm sure you can relate!

Choose a font that is 10 points or larger to ensure high-quality results (too small and the words may appear fuzzy).
Choose a thicker or bolder font over a skinny one so that no type gets lost in the printing process.
If you are using light or white fonts on a dark background, embolden the font. Inks bleed a bit and the optical illusion of the dark background both make the text appear smaller and can make it "disappear." The same applies to any intricate line art or fine detailing.
Ensure that all line art is a minimum of 2 pt thickness for best printed results.
For more info, see our Artwork Guidelines. If you are a more advanced designer who would like to use a 2D dieline template, our Advanced Artwork Guidelines may also help!
If you're worried your design might not turn out quite right, let us know before you make an order and we'll review and advise on any possible issues.

Seminole State College declared Dr. Georgia Lorenz, vice president of Academic Affairs at Santa Monica College, president-elect Wednesday. Seminole's board of trustees voted unanimously in her favor April 11.
"I am absolutely thrilled to become Seminole State College's next president," Lorenz said in a statement provided to The Seminole Scribe. "I have been so impressed by the many achievements of the College, the clear focus on promoting student success and the ways in which it serves both the students and the community.
The board's decision comes on the tail end of eight months of searching, according to Mae Ashby, the college's associate vice president of human resources.
The college received 52 applications for the new presidential position, Ashby said.
General Counsel to the College J. Paul Carland II said that, from an initial set of 13 candidates, the search committee interviewed eight semifinalists. Out of the eight, the committee recommended three finalists to come for on-campus board interviews, and they were on campus for a few days preceding the decision.
Ashby added that the search was performed nationally with a professional consulting and search firm called AGB Search, which is an affiliate of the Association of Governing Boards of Universities and Colleges.
She expressed excitement for Lorenz's new position, whose first official day will take place on Aug. 1. The Board and leadership of the college plan to have a welcoming event for her.
Brandon encouraged students to invite Lorenz to Student Government Association meetings, club meetings and any events where she would have an opportunity to meet and to start getting to know the students.
She also expressed her gratefulness to outgoing President E. Ann McGee, who retires July 31, when she will take the new role of president emerita.
With the approval and unanimous support of the president and the board, Lorenz said she believes the future looks bright.

We introduce mental health first aiders to the workplace
Eight Bristol Energy employees are now trained to provide support for colleagues experiencing mental health issues
charlotte.png
Bristol Energy are taking steps to support the mental wellbeing of their staff through an internal scheme that aims to end mental health stigmatisation for good.
Eight employees volunteered to be trained as mental health first aiders, acting as a non-judgemental and confidential touch points for those seeking help and support within the organisation.
This initiative kicks off around the time of Mental Health Awareness Week, which this year has stress as its focus. Research has shown that two thirds of us experience a mental health problem in our lifetimes and stress can be a key factor in this. In 2016/17, 12.5 million working days were lost due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety.1
"Being such a small company, I just think it's fantastic that we are investing the time in doing the right thing."
Said Charlotte, one of the mental health first aiders.
"Hopefully this scheme will normalise the fact that, sometimes, everyone needs to have a chat about how they're feeling."
The first aiders have been trained to provide support for colleagues experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, self-harm and psychotic disorders, which can be discussed face to face, over the phone or via email.
"We all know how to look after ourselves physically, but we don't necessarily know how to look after our mental health." Said Ollie, another first aider at Bristol Energy. "People don't always have the tools to recognise the symptoms and know how to deal with them. This is what has to change."

And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done. Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
He said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show unto His servants the things which must shortly come to pass. Look, behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
What I Believe About Heaven: the Pageantry—what shall we do? The sarcastic unbelievers answer: "Nothing!" That is the contemptuous satire, the insulting travesty, so often depicted and pictured. There is not any one of you but that have seen again and again and again a cartoon about what we do in heaven. There's a man seated on a fleecy cloud, with wings, with a halo on his head, strumming a harp. Could such a grotesque paradox, such a ridiculous burlesque be true? In heaven, we simply resign ourselves to endless ages of nothingness? We fall into the boredom of nothingness? We are forced to look forward to nothingness? There awaits us an inevitable Christian nirvana of nothingness? We are graduated into a paradise of inactive nothingness? Heaven is nothing more than a scrapheap of worn-out bodies, a collection of human entities consigned to the endless boredom of nothingness? Is that heaven?
But what does it mean in Revelation 14:13: "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord . . . that they may rest from their labors"? Does rest mean nothingness? It means we shall "rest," be delivered from sin, temptation, weakness, failure, defeat. We shall "rest" in God's grace, love, and our heavenly assignments. The very word "rest" implies the word "labor" which is in the text: "That they may rest from their labors." We shall work without weariness. We shall still be refreshed after toil of the day, and the century, and the forever.
He that had received five talents came and brought another five talents, saying, Lord, Thou deliveredst unto me five talents: look, I have gained five others.
And the lord said, Well done, good and faithful servant, you have been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of the lord.
And then he that had received two talents came and said, Lord, you gave me two talents; look, I have gained two more.
His lord said unto him, "Well done, good and faithful servant: you have been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
And it came to pass when the lord was returning, having received the kingdom—at the end of the age—he commanded those servants to be called unto him, to whom he had given the money, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. Then came the first, and said, Lord, thy pound hath gained ten pounds.
And the Lord said likewise to him, Be thou also ruler over five cities.
they may receive you into everlasting habitations.
That is when in death riches are gone, life is gone, those you have blessed and benefited by your ministries here in this world will welcome you in heaven; the work here is to prepare for our greater rewards over there.
We have a picture of our work assignments in the heavenly world in the life and work ministry of Jesus Himself. One of the great verses of the Bible is Hebrews 13:8: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever." Well, look at our Lord: Jesus Christ the same yesterday—in His preexistent state, He worked, He created the heavens and the earth, every firmament, every star, every planet; God in Christ did it, in His preexistent form [John 3:1; Colossians 1:15-17]. "Jesus Christ, the same today"—in His earthly life, He was a workman, a carpenter [Mark 6:3]. And in His ministry, He toiled day and night [John 5:17]. Today in heaven, He is the great Intercessor [1 Timothy 2:5], the Head of the church, the Savior of the body [Ephesians 5:23]—"Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever" [Hebrews 13:8]. He will be King and Lord over a vast, created universe, a heaven and an earth filled with teeming, laboring, serving, reigning people; you, we [Revelation 22:3-5].
And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, ye who have followed Me, in the regeneration, in the re-creation of this heaven and earth, when the Son of Man shall sit on the throne of His glory, ye also shall sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
First Corinthians 6:2-3, and verse 2; "Do you not know that the saints shall judge the world?" [1 Corinthians 6:2]. The world shall be judged by you. And verse , "Know ye not that ye shall judge angels?" [1 Corinthians 6:3]. That vast, innumerable, multitudinous throng of angels are to be judged by us. We shall reign and rule with Christ throughout the endless succession of ages. Second Timothy 2:11-12, "It is a faithful saying: if we be dead with Him, we shall also live with Him: If we suffer with Him, we shall also reign with Him." And Revelation 5:10, "Thou hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth." This created heaven above us and this renewed earth on which we plant our feet, we shall reign in this place. And as Luke 19:17-19 says, some of us over ten cities, some of us over five cities, but all of us shall have our individual, separate assignments. Revelation 22:3, "And His servants shall serve Him." We shall have a place of honor next to the King such as the servants described in Esther 1:14, "They saw the king's face, and sat first in the kingdom." That's you! We shall not be passive spectators, just observing, but we shall be an active vital part of the whole re-created kingdom of God. We each shall have a service to render according to how God has made us and endowed us. As we differ in taste, in likes, in looks, in choices, in abilities, so also we shall differ in our separate assignments and activities.
I speak now of the Biblical revelation of the continuity of life, that it continues. When the shadow of this life is over, the real life begins there, over yonder. There is progress in the pursuit of the purpose of God for us in the rich meaning of life on a higher level. What we have begun on earth, we shall consummate in heaven.
We shall be the same persons there as here. Otherwise, a heavenly life has no meaning. I will be I! You will be you! We shall be we! If that's not so, it has no meaning at all. Our traits, our abilities, our personalities will be the same; only they will be redeemed and glorified. The poignant example of this is seen in the resurrected, glorified life of our Lord Jesus. He was the same Lord Jesus in His resurrected life as He was in the days of His flesh. His recognitions were human. As He was when He walked in our midst, so He was when He was glorified and raised from the dead. For example, He said in Luke 24:39, "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself: handle Me, and see," touch Me, hold Me, "for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, such as you see Me have." He is the same Lord Jesus. He is human. He was recognized by John in the way that He folded up a napkin [John 20:3-8]. Jesus had a way of folding a napkin, and when John saw that napkin folded over here by itself, he believed it was Jesus, raised from the dead by the way He folded the napkin. He was recognized by Mary by the way He pronounced her name [John 20:11-16]. He was recognized by the two disciples in Emmaus by the way He said a blessing [Luke 24:13-16, 30-31]. There was a certain way that Jesus said a blessing.
Dr. Truett had a certain way of benediction—nobody like him in the earth! Nobody said a blessing just like the Lord Jesus. He was recognized by the way He said a blessing. He was recognized by the disciples on the Sea of Galilee by the way that they caught a miraculous draught of fish. He was the same human being, the Lord Jesus [John 21:4-8]. So we shall be the same persons with our separate faculties, and abilities, and personalities. We shall continue developing and progressing in the world to come.
Mozart died at thirty-five years of age; are the gifts he possessed in this life to vanish away in the life to come? Is he not to be recognized in heaven as the great musician? Is his genius to be separated from the man himself? Is he not Mozart in heaven? I told Fred this morning at the early service, he's taking the Chapel Choir over to those Germanic nations, and among the places they're to visit is Salzburg. And when you are in Salzburg, you are going to see everything about Mozart; he'll be Mozart in heaven!
Raphael died at thirty-seven years of age. Is he not to be recognized as Raphael? Is his sublime career to be obliterated and forgotten? When I see Raphael, won't I see the great saintly, holy painter of the yesteryears? Will he not be Raphael? Samuel Stennett, our London Baptist pastor, died in the prime of his ministry. He wrote many beautiful hymns, including the one you sang this morning, "On Jordan's Stormy Banks I Stand." And he wrote "Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned" and other beautiful hymns. In heaven, does he cast his gift of song away?
The Book of the Revelation constantly speaks of the new songs that we shall sing. For example, Revelation 5:9, Revelation 14:3, Revelation 15:3, they're going to sing a new song! The Revelation contains more songs than any other book of the Bible except the hymnbook, the Book of Psalms. And even in the Psalms—I went through it—even in the Psalms, the new songs are constantly referred to, such as Psalm 33:3, Psalm 40:3, Psalm 69:30, Psalm 96:1, Psalm 98:1, Psalm 144:9, Psalm 149:1. The new songs up there in heaven, we shall keep on writing them, and we'll keep on singing them. And it will be an avenue of praising our Lord God throughout all of the eternal ages. Our lives, our talents, our gifts, our abilities shall continue to be developed throughout all eternity.
In heaven, we shall be permitted to finish tasks we dreamed to do, but here on earth we had no opportunity or time, or strength, or ability to finish. I remember reading about the great astronomer, O. M. Mitchell. He said that he believed that in the future life, he would go from world to world and planet and planet, continuing his study of astronomy. What a glorious assignment! The Lord's infinite creation, to study it forever, to sit at the feet of the Creator Himself and learn what God has done. Like Him, we shall also ascend out of this narrow circumscribed valley of life into the infinitely broader expanse of the glory of God above us, beyond us, and around us. Our life and work here are interrupted by death; we get old and we die right in the midst of our assignments. As Cecil Rhodes said in his last word before he died, "So little done, so much to do." We shall continue in heaven.
Another thing: the injustices and inequalities of this life plead for another and recompensing creation. A good God could not leave us a prey to a leering devil in a ruined universe. The moral law found not only in God, but also deeply in us, demands a vindication of adjustment after death.
There are people in this life with talents never seen or used; many have a gift cherished, but possess no opportunity to use it. They are like a bird with wings, placed in a cage. They are poets, and philosophers, and singers, but their talents and gifts are lost in a coffin and buried in a grave. But they will get their chance and will come into their own in heaven! They will. God did not create us here and endow us here to cast us away there. The great abounding triumphant life is beyond death! It's not here. The consummation is there! We sing a glorious song.
No song with a minor refrain.
With never a sob or a sigh.
No funeral train in the sky.
For there we shall never more die.
Transformed in a moment of time.
The stars and the sun to outshine.
My Lord hath prepared for His own.
Sing "glory!" around the white throne.
And the glories I there shall behold.
In that beautiful city of gold!
There! Not here! The consummation is in glory; one that we will never know or experience in this life and in this world.
May I briefly summarize? There are two possessions we shall carry into the forever, free from death, beyond the grave: one, our character, redeemed by the blood of the Crucified One [1 Peter 1:18-19]; the other, our capacity, given and endowed by the Lord God Himself. Shall these gifts, from the creative hand of God, bestowed upon us be wantonly wasted, discarded in uselessness and forgetfulness? Shall we be consigned to a forever of idleness and nothingness? A thousand times no! Alfred, Lord Tennyson wrote a poem in the last days of his life and asked that whenever his works were printed, that poem be at the end. And you will never see the published works anywhere of Alfred, Lord Tennyson but that this poem will conclude, will be at the end of it.
Death does not end in defeat and tragedy for us, but every one of us shall experience triumph and victory at the conclusion of our lives.
It's the continuation of our lives there, broken by death here. What a glory, that good thing God hath prepared, that purpose of the Lord for us in an upper and better world! [1 Corinthians 2:9].
And to you who have listened to the message, how we pray that the eternity that lies before you will be filled with the presence and the glory and the triumph of God. All of that is a gift to us in Christ Jesus accepting Him as your Savior. And if you do not know how to accept Jesus as your Lord and as your Savior, you call us. The number is on the screen. There will be a devout, consecrated, dedicated man or woman who will answer your call and show you how to accept Jesus as your Savior. It will be the greatest, loving commitment of your life, and I will see you in heaven someday. Write me. I would love to hear from you. Any problem, any burden on your heart or life, or any glory you experienced in Jesus, share it with me. God love you and bless you forever and ever.
And to the great throng in the sanctuary of God's house this holy hour, a family you, placing your life with us in this dear church; a couple you; a one somebody you accepting Christ as your Savior; in the balcony round, down a stairway; in the throng on this lower floor, down one of these aisles, "Pastor, this is God's day for me, and I am answering with my life." On the first note of the first stanza, come, and angels attend you in the way, while we stand and while we sing.
B. Could such a grotesque paradox be true, that we fall into the boredom of nothingness?
2. Mozart died at 35; are his gifts to vanish away in the life to come?
3. Raphael died at 37; is he not to be recognized as Raphael?
4. Samuel Stennett died in the prime of his ministry; does he cast his gift of song away in heaven?

G Cloud framework to be in place by Christmas
admin 5 October 2011
Chris Chant says that new cloud contract will encourage SMEs
The government's new cloud framework will be in place before Christmas and the beta phase of a single web domain for Whitehall will be implemented by the end of January, according to Chris Chant, executive director at the Cabinet Office and programme director for the G Cloud programme.
He told GGC: "I expect within the next week a new cloud framework will be announced that we expect to be in place before Christmas to enable SMEs in particular and cloud providers to more easily to get their services across to government."
Chant's comments follow theCabinet Office's recent announcement about its intentions for G Cloud procurement. It revealed that a first framework for cloud services will last no more than nine months.
Speaking at the Healthcare Efficiency through Technology Expo in London, Chant also disclosed that the IT development team within the Cabinet Office's government digital service is no longer known as skunkworks, and is now called innovation delivery. "I get told off for that (referring to the team as skunkworks)," he added.
He said the team, which "takes pieces of activity that people need done and then build it for them", did a good job on developing an e-petitions system for government.
Chant also stressed that the government needs to continue removing barriers as part of its digital agenda. This includes overcoming security and commercial issues, and he added that now is the time to put right past mistakes.
"We have arranged ourselves in departmental silos," he said. "For some reason it seemed like a good idea at the time. That has almost nothing whatsoever to do with what the end user needs.
"From criminal justice front to end, around the health and benefits, around getting to work and all those things, we've got that scattered across loads and loads of organisations centrally – forget about privately – and it's about how we join up all of that to make it work for the end user."
Correction: Chris Chant's job title has been amended to executive director at the Cabinet Office and programme director for the G Cloud programme. He was formerly interim executive director of digital at the Cabinet Office.
