SC ruling Gail pipeline
Petroleum & Mineral Pipelines (PMP) Act 1962
Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL) pipeline
Farmers get ready to fight SC's GAIL ruling
Farmers' associations in Coimbatore and adjoining districts held a meeting on Thursday evening to decide on the next course of action regarding Supreme Court ruling on the Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL) pipeline issue.TNN | February 06, 2016, 09:47 IST
Coimbatore/Salem | 5 Feb: Farmers' associations in Coimbatore and adjoining districts held a meeting on Thursday evening to decide on the next course of action regarding Supreme Court ruling on the Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL) pipeline issue. Farmers in the western districts, who will be affected due to the laying of the pipeline across their farmlands, have begun protesting against the ruling.
Farmers association (non-political, non-communal and non-religious) organised a meeting at the association's office here and have decided to challenge the Supreme Court's verdict in connection with the GAIL pipeline.
"The state government has also planned to file a review petition against the Apex court's order. We will also file a review petition before the apex court against it's green signal to GAIL to lay natural gas pipelines across the seven districts in the Western Tamil Nadu," said P Kandasamy, stage general secretary of the farmers' association.
He also added that the union government should withdraw the Petroleum & Mineral Pipelines (PMP) Act 1962, which was amended in 2011. "We request the chief minister J Jayalalithaa to address this issue with the Prime Minister and to rescind the PMP Act altogether," said Kandasamy.
The pipeline would start from Kochi and it would cross Pichanur, Thirumalayampalayam, Palathurai, Seerapalayam, Othakkalmandapam in Coimbatore district, Palladam in Tirupur distict, Erode district, Trichengode in Namakkal district, Sankagiri in Salem, Dharmapuri and Hosur in Krishnagiri district to reach Bangalore.
"Over 10,000 acres of agricultural land will be affected if the pipelines are laid in these seven western districts of Tamil Nadu. Many farmers would have no option but to vacate their fields. We will continue our fight against GAIL and won't allow them to lay pipelines in our agricultural fields," said Kandasamy.
He also added that the association was conducting talks with political parties to conduct a massive protest against GAIL's project. "The project is getting a go-ahead as many corporate lobbies are involved," he added.
Meanwhile, in Erode in Dharmapuri, farmers from various organizations expressed their dissent over the GAIL project on Thursday. The farmers sat in protest on the agricultural lands where the gas pipelines would be laid. They also urged the State and the Central government to consider alternative arrangements.
K V Ponnaiyan, founder of Vivasayigal Vaalvurimai Pathugappu Kootamaippu (VVPK) movement in Chennimalai, Erode district, said that GAIL has begun laying its natural gas pipelines through farm lands in seven districts of Western Tamil Nadu despite protests from farmers.
Thousands of farmers led by M Yuvaraja, state president of Youth Wing in Tamil Manila Congress (TMC) gathered at Ellakkadu near Chennimalai in Erode district on Thursday as the pipelines would be laid through Ellakkadu village.
Similarly, members of Tamil Nadu Vivasayigal Sangam protested in various villages in Dharmapuri district including Thoppur, Palajangamanahalli, Dokkubothanahalli, Yelagiri, Samisettipatty, Muthampatty, Kudippatty, Indur, Periyathappai villages on Thursday. "GAIL had procured lands along 75km in Dharmapuri district alone," said P Dellibabu, MLA, Harur constituency.

Africa Arts/Culture Christian Hip Hop
FLOOD CHURCH BRINGS SHO BARAKA AND MAG44 TO MALAWI
American Christian rapper Sho Baraka is set to do a two-city tour in Malawi, brought to us by Flood Church Lilongwe and Blantyre. The rapper is known for being one of the most lyrically talented rappers in the Christian music industry (in music in general for me), he uses his normal witty style of rap to shed light on social justice and how Christians respond. He is also known for not shying away from addressing controversy as well. Mag44 is a Zambian rapper who is incredibly talented and known for fusing hip-hop with the Zambian sound. Mag44's album 'Jijue' is a classic album, his recent album 'Brave Only' is just as good. Both of these artists, along the Malawian acts will put on a stellar show worth watching.
The Lilongwe show is being organized by Flood Church Lilongwe, and it takes place at Gateway Mall on 16 December 2017. The show is free of charge and features supporting artists such as Suffix, KBG, Liwu, Faith Mussa and many more. The organizers are currently calling young entrepreneurs to come and showcase their businesses for free to over 2,000 young people that are expected to attend the show. They are also calling upon you, to invite your friends and everyone you can to come to this show so they can not only have fun but hear the gospel as well.
Sho Baraka and Mag44 will be in Blantyre on the 17th of December, the show is at Blantyre Cultural Centre, charges are MK2,000 ticket and MK 3,000 at the door. The supporting acts for this concert include Suffix, S.A.M.U.E.L, Khetwayo, Progain and Jewcha.
As a huge fan of both these artists, I know the tour will be nothing short of amazing, we can also trust that our Malawian artists will not disappoint either. The concert is not just a way of having fun, but also sharing the gospel with young people in Malawi, shout out to Flood Church, Fresh Impressions, Letswai and InnoVision for putting together this one of a kind event.
We are looking forward to going to the hangout and the concert which songs are you excited to hear them do? Let us know in the comment section below!

This week in PDF: Hot wires!
This week in PDF, the wires have been running hot. Darn hot. In fact, it's barely possible to take a step without stepping on a press release connected to the wonderful world of PDF. Busy is good, though. This week, there have been industry newsbits, developments around some well-known PDF libraries and updates to a trio of conversion tools.
The latest rumblings and ramblings from BinaryThing CEO Karl De Abrew. This week, Karl talks DVT prevention and Snakes on a Plane.
Many a city-clicker enjoys occasionally heading out to the country to change the air in their lungs and (carefully) ride a horse or three. That said, anyone looking to get serious about breeding or showing horses had better get a firm handle on the rules and regulations. Courtesy of the Tennessee Walking Horse Breeders' & Exhibitors' AssociationSM (TWHBEASM), there is now an official TWH Rulebook available as a free PDF download. The book includes everything you always wanted to know about Tennessee Walking Horses but were afraid to ask.

Blogs are all around these days, and can be a great way to stay in the loop on everything from the lives of friends to market trends and even inside scoops in the case of corporate blogs. As highlighted in a talk at the recent Black Hat security conference, the bad news is that web-based feeds such as RSS and Atom, which quickly send updated blog information to subscribers, are not without their risks.
This week in PDF sees a patent granted to a 3D design vendor and the launch of a new Web site designed to teach users about document and information security. If that weren't enough, we have some official word from Adobe on its current position and the release of Acrobat 8.

"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeit his soul." (Matt 16:26).
There is so much going on in our world, in our lives, and Covid-19 has been added in on top of it all. With all of these things going on, it would be very easy to lose focus, to become disoriented, to feel overwhelmed with the restrictions, lockdowns, bubbles, and put life on hold. It is almost too much. Some of our plans and dreams have been shattered and are in tatters.
What are we in for? What are we to do now?
"Be still and know that I am God, I will be exalted among the nations. I will be exalted in the earth." (Psalm 46:10)
We - the whole world - are in for an almighty shake up. Many lives will be lost, economies will be in disarray and lives broken. This pandemic, the invisible invader, is a game changer. The landscape has moved. Normality is no more. Almost everything has been turned upside down. There are powerful forces at play. Destruction, mayhem and annihilation is taking place. Our world and its many nations are being brought to their knees. The past speaks to us of such pandemics, the present tells us to work together, and the future is unknown.
We are at the dawn of a new era and information technology is playing a big role: virtual communication, online meetings, Zoom, Skype and Facebook etc are becoming the new normal. The physical, people contacts, kanohi ki te kanohi, are becoming relegated to the old ways. This is our reality now. We have to make the most of the situation. Be human, be technological, be yourself.
For our part and with our responses, we must do our best and trust in the goodwill of humanity. The scriptural texts chosen urge us to be rooted, be established, be totally in Christ. In our changing situation, commit your all to the Lord. Stand firm in Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." (Matt 24: 35)
Moderator, Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand
PS: Please enrol, and do your part and vote.
PSS: Please, in the referendums, choose wisely and make informed decisions.
From the Assembly Executive Secretary
Back in July my opening words in Bush Telegraph were "We are not going back to normal…" As a country, when we moved back to alert level 1, maybe we thought we were. Maybe, as the hours turned to days and the days to weeks – we thought – yes we are! Then came the Prime Minister's announcement on the evening of 11 August.
A reminder that our website has a page dedicated to resources to assist during Covid – have a look. Our Moderator also has a weekly devotion, which is available every Sunday at 9am, on his Moderator Facebook page. It is also available on the Church's video channel and Facebook.
Maybe, like me, you have been reflecting on the alert level changes; the uncertainty; the anxiety; the change that this again brings to you, your whanau, your community and your church. Maybe, like me, you have been drawn back to what is core or essential. In that space I have been re-reading the Gospels. I have again and again been struck by the simplicity of two overarching themes: Jesus proclaiming the Kingdom of God and demonstrating that Kingdom.
I have heard and read of people and congregations who during various Covid levels have been people of hope; people of peace and blessing; people of grace and love; people who demonstrate the kingdom; people able and willing to give an answer for why we cling to the hope that is within us. I am mightily encouraged and challenged by that.
Personally, I am convinced that bringing some heaven to earth is the best way to introduce people to God's kingdom, so that they experience the life God intends.
Our understanding is that we, as the people of God, are to partner with God in God's redemptive mission in the world. That mission is what it has always been: Kua tae mai te rangatiratanga o te Atua… God's kingdom come.
We have three staff that I'd like you to pray for. One continues his journey back to health, two begin new journeys and we wish them every future success.
Matt Chamberlin: As you may be aware, Matt - our Presbyterian Youth Ministry National Youth Director - is still recovering from the concussion he received during an accident back in June. Matt is currently working just five hours per week, until at least the middle of October. If you need youth ministry support, please contact Gordon Fitch in the first instance. Please continue to pray for Matt and his family as he works his way back to full health.
Julie Penno: I would also like to acknowledge Julie Penno, Children and Families Co-Director who finished up in her role in August. Julie has journeyed through the past couple of years working alongside Robin Humphreys: listening, reflecting, visioning and helping transition the Kids Friendly department to the Presbyterian Children's and Families Ministry. On behalf of the wider Church, I would like to thank Julie for her service.
Rev Dr Steve Taylor: Rev Dr Steve Taylor has announced his resignation as Principal of the Knox Centre for Ministry and Leadership, effective from 31 January 2021.
For the past five years, Steve has utilised his experience and skill as a minister, theological educator, innovator and academic to help in the formation of our Church's ministers and leaders. We thank Steve for sharing his passion for contemporary mission and leadership across the Church, and by doing so, encouraging us all to join God in God's mission… Ngā mihi nui ki a koe.
I know you will take the opportunity over the coming months to let him know how much his support and leadership has meant.
We wish Steve continued success as he explores new opportunities, and as he continues to serve God's Church and grow leaders in mission. There will be a gathering to farewell Steve, date to be advised.
Calling a newly trained minister
This year another group will complete their training as interns. Profiles for each person are available from the Rev Brendon McRae who coordinates introductions and discussions between final-year interns and ministry settlement boards. For more information, please contact Brendon.
Update your office bearer contacts
We use electronic communication to share information, update on important matters and pass on other news. Our office's ability to do this is dependent on church councils advising updates to key contact people, changes in email etc. Please pass on any changes to Grace so that we can ensure we are communicating with the appropriate office bearers.
Thank you for your prayers and support. Take care.
Wayne Matheson
The PYM internship
Our Church desperately needs theologically trained, skilled, youth workers. People need to be invited and challenged to consider setting themselves apart for ministry and preparing themselves for this process. The PYM Internship offers fantastic support for anyone wanting to pursue a calling in ministry with young people through a bachelor, diploma or certificate level training pathway.
E Tū Tāngata Stand Together Aotearoa
E Tū Tāngata is a new programme from 24-7 YouthWork, which tackles one of New Zealand's biggest problems – Tall Poppy Syndrome. If your church has a youth ministry, we recommend spending an hour going through it with your young people.
Download the programme on the E Tū Tāngata website (for free). The programme will help your group reflect on the following three core principles:
• You have value
• We succeed together, and
• Others matter.
You may want to add a bit of Christian language and content to their guided conversations, but all-in-all, this would be an excellent addition to your curriculum.
The Girl On The Bridge
The Girl On The Bridge is a new kiwi documentary that tells the story of mental health activist Jazz Thornton – her journey to overcome a suicidal past, to help others with their struggles and the personal cost of her advocacy. It is a response to our collective anguish about New Zealand's suicide crisis and our desire to "do something". Ultimately, this is a film about hope. It's a film about redemption. It's a challenge to all of us to try to understand.
The Girl On The Bridge will be available in cinemas and online in September. But, you could arrange for the movie to be played in your church, or in a small group setting. Watch the trailer to learn more.
Gordon Fitch
National Youth Manager
Keeping connected
We encourage you to visit our new Presbyterian Children and Families ministry website: www.pcfm.org.nz. We also encourage you to follow us on Facebook and Instagram for ideas and resources around ministry to and with children and families. Our Facebook page has changed name to "Presbyterian Children & Families" and our Instagram to "childrenandfamiliespcanz".
Farewell to Julie
We have said farewell to Julie Penno, who has served faithfully in two capacities (administrative assistant and co-director) over the past 2 ½ years. We are grateful for her service and wish her God's blessings for her future children and families ministry endeavours!
What do we know about the families in our communities? As we seek to serve families in our communities, knowing who we are serving makes all the difference. Some recent research by Paul Spoonley points to how families in Aotearoa New Zealand have changed. In Spoonley's book, The New New Zealand (published by Massey University Press), he highlights seven trends. Read a New Zealand Herald article about Spoonley's research.
As Father's Day approaches this weekend, we remember all who long to be fathers, all who are father-figures, as well as all the fathers in our communities. Consider using this Father's Day Prayer and Blessing: (from 'For Everything A Season: 75 Blessings for Daily Life' by the Nilsen family):
Father's Day Prayer: God, from the beginning of time you have set aside fathers to give life, comfort, encouragement and guidance to their children. Today we remember the sometimes difficult, sometimes joyous task of fatherhood and the blessings we have received from our fathers. Amen.
Father's Day Blessing: May the love of God shine through all fathers. May all children find peace and hope in that love. Amen.

Presbyterian Church Schools Resource Office
John McGlashan College is the next in this series highlighting Presbyterian church schools around Aotearoa New Zealand. John McGlashan, like last month's Columba College, is in Dunedin. It is a special character, state integrated school for Year 7-13 boys. It currently has about 550 boys, including 120 boarders.
The school opened in 1918 due to the generous gift of John McGlashan's family house on the proviso it was used as a Presbyterian boy's school. John McGlashan was born in Edinburgh in 1802. He was an early settler in Dunedin, arriving in 1853, and spent some years working as secretary for the Otago Association, which promoted settlement of the area. Like many early Presbyterians, he strongly supported education, thus the naming of this school.
John McGlashan College is the only local school to provide the International Baccalaurate, but also emphasises physical fitness. Sports teams are many and range from the expected rugby to the less well-known ice curling. Places at the school are highly sought, especially by families from Central Otago. In addition to these boys, the boarding establishment also has about 30 international students every year, all of whom stayed over lockdown earlier this year. They were mainly hosted by the rural boarders' families and, apparently, these "homestays" have been the highlight of their time here.
Unfortunately, applications to attend John McGlashan in 2021 have already closed. However, those contemplating education options for their boys in 2022 may want to check out their website www.mcglashan.school.nz. Those visiting Dunedin with groups can also see the boarding facilities (which are available in the school holidays). Kristyn Mawdsley would be the best one to contact to ask about a visit.

At this time when our principal, Steve Taylor, has announced his resignation – we are indebted to how he has skillfully shaped the training of PCANZ leaders, and created space for the Spirit's formation of those leaders. As Steve prepares for the space God is leading him into and towards, my mind goes to a blessing for him and his whānau: "Behold God beholding you . . . and smiling". (Anthony de Mello, SJ)
Seeking a Ministry Formation Co-ordinator
We are looking for a Ministry Formation Co-ordinator (0.6 – fixed term). Among other tasks, the successful applicant would take responsibility for co-ordinating and teaching in at least two of these areas: mission in communities, worship, and/or theological reflection courses. We encourage applications from different geographic locations around New Zealand (the successful applicant does not need to reside in Dunedin). Find more details and the position description here. Applications close 5pm, Thursday, 10 September 2020.
Ministers' study grants
Senatus meets in October and we invite applications for ministry study grants. Download guidelines and applications forms here. Applications can be submitted to the registrar by Wednesday 30 September 2020.

Updates from Vanuatu and Myanmar
Our global mission partners are all facing significant challenges. In Vanuatu, the economy has been affected by both Covid-19 border restrictions and the effects of Cyclone Harold on the northern islands. It's a tough time for many in Vanuatu at the moment. Our cyclone appeal funds are being distributed to four presbyteries to assist with their rebuilding programmes, and the first allocation was sent last month.
In Myanmar, churches and educational institutions are still restricted by lockdown, and the country's borders are closed. Our partners in mission at Tahan Theological College, Wayne and Helen Harray, are still in New Zealand waiting for the situation to change so they can return to their work. Read their latest blog.
I recently read the biography of Presbyterian medical missionary to India, Beryl Howie. The book, Teaching Hundreds to Heal Millions by Dunedin author Bartha Hill gives an excellent summary of Beryl's amazing contribution to teaching and healthcare for women in India. I recommend the book – it's available from the Presbyterian Research Centre's Hewitson Library.
Week of peace for Palestine and Israel
A week of peace for Palestine and Israel is being observed 14-21 September. There are some informative and thought-provoking resources available that could be used in newsletters, worship or small-group Bible studies. Find resources here.
Now isn't the time to be planning for a mission appointment overseas – but those who have sensed a call to serve in this way could have a look at these positions advertised by the Council for World Mission, to see the kinds of roles that might be available when conditions improve. Learn more.
I was pleased to have the opportunity to share about global mission in a service at St Ninian's Church in Wellington recently. Although it is a challenging season for global mission, it's important to stay informed. Please get in touch if you would like to invite me to share with your congregation about the challenges and opportunities in our global partnerships.

The Presbyterian Research Centre (both the Hewitson Library and the Archives) are currently still open to visitors at Level 2. We do ask that you sign in or scan the QR code before entering the building if you are visiting Dunedin: QR codes and manual sign-in sheets are available at the entrances to both Library and Archives. Please remember to maintain physical distance from others when you are on the premises. This may change as advice is updated. We are continuing to develop our online services as well as our physical collections to increase access to those beyond Dunedin.

CWS Notices
CWS appeals for Lebanon
When she heard the noise, Sylvia Haddad from the Department of Service to Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon, feared an earthquake or bombing. Instead, two explosions at Beirut's port killed at least 180 people, causing widespread damage.
CWS is calling for donations to the Lebanon Recovery Appeal to assist with housing, cash vouchers (for food or necessities) and school kits.
"Some people don't want to stay with other family, or in churches. They want to stay in their homes. They are mostly older people. We want to help them to get windows and doors for their homes, cooking utensils and other needed supplies," she says.
Big Hearts Connected World
In these challenging times, CWS, Oxfam and World Vision want the government to increase spending on aid and assistance with climate adaptation. Please sign and share the petition as the first step in the Big Hearts Connected World campaign.
World Week for Peace in Palestine and Israel
With tensions increasing in the Middle East, it is time to pray and take action. Please join the World Council of Churches' call to pray for peace 14-21 September. Creative Solidarity in Common Fragility includes biblical reflection, prayers and ideas for advocacy that you can use to participate in this global week.
Coronavirus appeal
CWS is grateful for your generous gifts to the Coronavirus Emergency Appeal so far. Your donations are helping some of the poorest people in Bangladesh, Haiti, Nicaragua, South Sudan, Sri Lanka, and Tamil Nadu, India with much needed food rations and hygiene materials. Hunger remains a real consequence of the virus and people cannot afford medical care. Please pray for the poorest people in communities where the virus is rife and unemployment common. If you can, donate to a family with no money or means of protection.

City regulator takes action against former Co-op Bank directors
The Financial Conduct Authority has begun an investigation into the role of former senior directors at the Co-operative Bank, focused on regulatory breaches surrounding capital position of the troubled bank

The City regulator has begun an investigation into the role of former senior directors at the Co-operative Bank.
In the wake of the bank's £1.5bn capital shortfall, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is investigating whether there is enough evidence to take action against former directors, including Rev. Paul Flowers, the ex-chairman.
The action could lead to lifetime City bans or sizeable fines were any wrongdoing to be proven.
The regulator, led by chief executive Martin Wheatley, is believed to be focusing on the actions of individuals in the run-up to the shortfall being uncovered in June 2013.
Central to the probe is whether there were any regulatory breaches by the directors in relation to the regulatory capital position of the bank and the way that provisions were accounted for in relation to loan impairments.
It is thought that the probe is looking at members of the bank's management team, led by interim chief executive Barry Tootell until May this year, as well as its board, whose members included then group chief executive Peter Marks.
The investigation is believed to have begun before the latest revelations surrounding Mr Flowers, who stood down in June 2013, but sources indicated has been expedited in light of the intense focus on the situation.
Sources confirmed that the FCA is looking at enforcement action against individuals, but emphasised that no final decisions had yet been made.
The FCA investigation will run in parallel with the existing inquiry being carried out by West Yorkshire Police into the drug-related allegations surrounding Mr Flowers.
Once both are complete, a Treasury-initiated inquiry into the near-collapse of the bank and its directors will begin.
David Cameron said during Prime Minister's questions on Wednesday that "the Chancellor will discuss with regulators what is the right form of inquiry."
It is understood that the terms of an inquiry under the Financial Services Act 2012 will be announced within days - although the inquiry will not be able to start until both the other investigations are complete.
Andrew Tyrie, chairman of the Treasury Select Committee which is already holding its own investigation in to the Co-op Bank, said that the review should be chaired by an independent person. "The authorities cannot be seen to be marking their own work," he added.
The independent inquiry will involve both the FCA and the Prudential Regulation Authority, and look closely at their predecessor, the Financial Services Authority.
It was the FSA which was responsible for approving Mr Flowers to sit as a non-executive director on the board of the Co-op Bank in May 2009, and then green-lighted his move up to chairman a year later.
Mr Cameron emphasised that the Government's "first priority is to safeguard the bank, and to make sure it's safeguarded without using taxpayer's money."
Sources indicated that one of the reasons the Treasury had been reluctant to announce a full-scale inquiry was for fear of adversely affecting the £1.5bn recapitalisation plan for the bank, which is subject to a series of bondholder votes on December 11.
Mr Cameron's comments echoed those of Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, who earlier in the day said that the events at the Co-op were a "serious failure of regulation," adding that "mistakes were made."
Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, Mr Cable went on to emphasise that as a result of the recapitalisation plan - which will see vulture funds take control of 35pc of Co-op's equity - he has the power to stop the bank from using the 'co-operative' name if he feels it is no longer appropriate. He has yet to make a decision, however.
The inquiry comes amid reports that Chancellor George Osborne pressed Brussels last year to spare the Co-op Bank from tougher rules applied to big listed banks.
The Chancellor's bid to win more lenient capital treatment for the Co-op came at a 2am negotiating session between finance ministers in May, shortly after he angrily criticised special carveouts, according to the reports.
Treasury, FCA and PRA spokesmen declined to comment.

Q: load store which loads all grids automatically Lets say I have two(or more) same panels with same store in my app and they are on the screen. I changed something in one panel and want to refresh two stores at the same time. ok I know how to access with Ext.cmp() or up() or down() function but is it possible to just load store and refresh it everywhere? or how to do this? any example...

A: It should happen automatically. The framework has one-way binding build into it out-of-the-box. You can test this by open a page with a grid and a loaded store. If you then go to your console and get the store and add a item, it will automatically be added to the grid or edit the record bind to the model on the store. Type in the console of your devtools of your browser something like this:
Ext.getStore('Users').add({id: 9238,firstName:'Goga',lastName:'Gubi'});

or
Ext.getStore('Users').getAt(2).set('firstName', 'Goga');

The fields and the store should correspond with your store and model off course.
As soon as your store is updated it will "rebind" the views to which the store is binded. This is why you always should use loadRecord on a form or get a reference to a store bind to a grid and use add() to add a record.

Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is a rare condition in which a tumor called a gastrinoma forms in the pancreas or small intestine. The tumor releases a hormone called gastrin that causes production of excess stomach acid.
Almost all people who have Zollinger-Ellison syndrome get an ulcer at some point, usually in the small intestine (duodenal ulcer). Ulcers produced by this disease are more difficult to cure than ulcers from other causes.
In about half of the people with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome, the tumors (gastrinomas) are cancerous and can spread to the lymph nodes and liver.
The main treatment for Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is removal of the tumors and taking acid-suppressing medicine called proton pump inhibitors.

When their current gown suppliers were unwilling to create a standardized isolation gown, and no other acceptable products were found, this hospital turned to ICP for a customized solution. The optimal isolation gown would need to provide both maximum protection and comfort, and meet specific packaging requirements, all at a cost that would minimize the impact of increased usage ICP's solution is a uniquely comfortable laminated gown, with a protective poly-coated outer layer, and an inner cloth layer that keeps plastic away from the skin and absorbs perspiration. The tear-away design eliminates the need to reach around the neck to untie and dispose of the gown, reducing possible contamination. They also include a specially designed thumb-loop, which prevents sleeves from riding up and exposing workers' wrists, as happens with traditional gowns. The product was packaged and delivered to exactly meet our customers' specifications, allowing them to maximize the amount of product stored in their PPE organizers. The ICP gown has helped our client eliminate six separate SKU #'s, at a savings of 28% over their previous products. Nursing and administration are both very happy with the new design, and have since requested ICP's help on additional product development.

Case Study: ICP develops customizable organizational system for personal protection equipment.
Nursing committee members from this hospital committed to eliminating bulky isolation carts from their corridors in an effort to increase safety for both patients and nurses. They turned to ICP for help in creating a better solution for organizing and distributing personal protection supplies. ICP's customized solution addresses a number of issues found with the old carts and cabinets. Our "open system" design allows staff members to immediately access necessary supplies, and to see when inventory is low in order to refill it as necessary. The organizers are completely adaptable, with adjustable brackets that accommodate many brands and product sizes, and a customizable layout that can be adjusted to meet the needs of individual departments or facilities. ICP also developed several new mounting options which increase compliancy by making it possible to hang the organizers at any "point of care," including walls, glass and doors. Our client has successfully implemented PPE organizers throughout their hospital system, and has used them for over three years. Isolation carts have been eliminated, much to the satisfaction of nursing staff, and an increased compliancy with personal protection equipment has been achieved.

Home Leeds United Bielsa welcomes 'best player' Raphinha to renew Leeds deal
Bielsa welcomes 'best player' Raphinha to renew Leeds deal
Date published: Friday 14th January 2022 6:39 - Jason Soutar
Marcelo Bielsa has backed Leeds United's "best player" Raphinha to extend his contract at Elland Road.
The Brazilian winger has been superb since making the move to West Yorkshire from Rennes in 2020.
He has made 49 appearances for the Whites and has scored 14 times whilst providing ten assists.
Why are some Liverpool fans 'disgusted' at the state of the club?
Raphinha is attracting interest from numerous European clubs, including Bayern Munich and Liverpool, but Bielsa is eager for the 25-year-old to put rumours to bed by signing a new contract.
Leeds are reportedly planning fresh talks over a new deal, with his current contract running until 2024.
"It's a great decision," said Bielsa. "Raphinha's the best player in the team in all the senses.
"Physically he's the best, technically he's at the level of the best and his interpretation of the game is very wise.
"He's within the group of such a powerful nation as Brazil, he shines in the Premier League and he has the attention of all the big clubs in the world.
"All of those things are something you guys know as well. Nothing I'm saying is new. As a result, the decision of the club can only be valued."
Raphinha is unlikely to leave Elland Road in the January transfer window as Leeds aim to avoid relegation this season.
Meanwhile, Bielsa is hoping to have Patrick Bamford, Rodrigo and Pascal Struijk all available for Sunday's Premier League game at West Ham.
Bamford sustained an ankle injury in the 1-1 draw at Newcastle in September and Bielsa revealed his decision not to withdraw the striker possibly aggravated the problem.
"The injury was towards the end of the game and I asked Bamford to finish what was left of the game because we needed him," Bielsa said.
"Perhaps me asking him to do that aggravated his injury."
Bielsa made his admission to highlight how pleased he had been with his players' attitude after a succession of injuries left him with a threadbare squad.
"Rodrigo played for a long time with a knock which eventually forced him to stop," the Argentine added.

Gesloten stad is een term uit de Sovjettijd voor een stad met reis- en verblijfsrestricties. De officiële naam is "ЗАТО" (spreek uit als zato), een afkorting voor Gesloten Bestuurlijk-Territoriale Formaties (Russisch: закрытые административно-территориальные образования, zakrytye administrativno-territorial'nye obrazovania).

Sovjettijd
Gesloten steden zijn te verdelen in twee categorieën; steden die gesloten zijn vanwege gevoelige (militaire of nucleaire) objecten en grenssteden gesloten uit veiligheidsoverwegingen (radar, militaire kazernes, etc.). Het was voor buitenlanders en in sommige gevallen ook voor Sovjetburgers verboden naar deze steden te reizen. Zo was het bijvoorbeeld voor Sovjetburgers (met uitzondering van de lokale bevolking) verboden te reizen naar het district Kaliningrad. De steden Sebastopol en Vladivostok waren gesloten vanwege hun marinehavens. Gorki was ook een gesloten stad, een reden om mensenrechtenactivist Andrej Sacharov hierheen te verbannen, zodat hij geen contact kon hebben met buitenlandse journalisten.

Enkele ZATO's waren helemaal geheim en werden ontworpen voor academische (Akademgorodok) of wetenschappelijke (Naoekograd) doeleinden. Vaak werden deze steden gebouwd door gedwongen tewerkstelling (goelag). Er zijn ongeveer veertig ZATO's waarvan het bestaan inmiddels bekend is en naar schatting vijftien nog altijd geheime. De belangrijkste steden werden na de val van de Sovjet-Unie geopend.

Russische Federatie
Het huidige aantal gesloten steden in Rusland is officieel niet bekend, maar naar schatting leven nog tot twee miljoen mensen in deze steden. Steden die nog steeds gesloten zijn door Minatom (het Ministerie van Atoomenergie) zijn:

¹ In de buurt van deze stad (bij Kysjtym) gebeurde in 1957 een grote kernramp in de Majakfabriek.² De grootste stad met 100.400 inwoners (1999).

Het Ministerie van Defensie heeft eveneens een aantal steden gesloten. Het officiële aantal is echter geheim.

Tot de overige gesloten steden behoren Bolsjoj Kamen, Fokino (Sjkotovo-17), Gadzjiejevo (Moermansk-130), Krasnokamensk (Golitsyno-2), Mezjgorje (Beloretsk-15 en 16), Mirny, Norilsk, Ostrovnoj, Poljarny, Radoezjny, Severomorsk, Sjichany, Snezjnogorsk (Moermansk-60), Trjochgorny (Zlato-oest-36), Viljoetsjinsk, Zaozjorsk (Moermansk-150) en Znamensk.

Sommige steden zijn open voor buitenlandse investeringen, maar reizigersverkeer is beperkt. Een voorbeeld hiervan is het Nuclear Cities Initiative (NCI), een gezamenlijk project van de Verenigde Staten en Rusland, waar de steden Sarov, Snezjinsk en Zjeleznogorsk deel van uitmaken.

Een aantal grensgebieden maakt deel uit van de zogenaamde grenszones van de FSB. Hiertoe behoren veel afgelegen plaatsen, zoals Tiksi en Pevek en bijvoorbeeld alle steden aan de "Poolcirkelspoorlijn" en het hele gebied ten noorden daarvan. In 1993 werd de grenszone op vijf kilometer breed gesteld (vanaf de grenslijn of kust), maar in 2004 heeft de FSB deze regel geschrapt en op veel plekken is sindsdien een groter gebied tot verboden gebied verklaard, hetgeen aan de noord- en oostgrens van Rusland kan oplopen tot tweehonderd kilometer breed. Sommige steden, zoals Norilsk, hebben zelf ook restricties opgelegd, waardoor daar buitenlandse reizigers en Russen van buiten het gebied die erheen willen, vaak met visabepalingen te maken krijgen.

At least 42 fighters including 20 security personnel were confirmed dead in Northern Kunduz and neighbouring Baghlan Provinces on Tuesday as the Taliban militants stepped up offensives in the Northern region, Officials said.
The armed outfit in efforts to tight the noose around Kunduz city, the capital of Northern Kunduz province, launched offensives on several security checkpoints in Khawjapak and Talawka areas outside provincial capital Kunduz.
The offensives triggered heavy fighting which lasted for hours and resulting in the death of 10 security personnel and the injury of a few others, a local official has confirmed.
eantime, a spokesman for the national army in the Northern region Mohammad Hanif Rezai has confirmed the clash.
He, however, insisted that the security forces retaliated by killing 22 militants on the spot and injuring 18 others, forcing the insurgents to run away.
The official, however, didn't reveal the security forces casualties, only saying "unfortunately some troopers were martyred and injured'' in the fighting to defend the country.
The Afghan Defence Ministry has also confirmed the Taliban onslaught but said in a statement that the militants offensive in Kunduz has been foiled.
Similarly, the Taliban outfit stormed a base of Local Police in Jar-e-Khushk area of Baghlan-e-Markazi district in Northern Baghlan province, killing 10 security personnel and injuring five others, head of provincial council Mohammad Safdar Mohsini told Xinhua.
Local observers believed that the Taliban outfit by intensifying operations in Baghlan and the neighbouring Kunduz province are attempting to gain ground.
An attempt to gain ground on the main highway linking Kabul to the Northern eight provinces and eventually could disrupt traffic flow to the Northern region of the country.

Q: java.sql.SQLException: Exhausted Resultset in jdbc error I get an error trying to execute this code.
My requirement is to use getInt() to convert a string in to DB.
for (int i = 1; i <= 7; i++) {
    int t = rs.getInt(i);

    temp = Integer.toString(t);
    if (temp.length() == 1) temp="00"+temp;
    else if (temp.length() == 2) temp="0"+temp;
    else temp=temp;
    output=output+temp;
       ...

A: It seems like your result set has fewer than seven rows, so you run out of them in the for loop.  It's a good idea to check rs.hasNext() to see if there are any more rows to process.

A: You didn't show the relevant piece of code (but it's visible in the screenshot), which is the while loop preceding the for loop you included:
while (rs.next()) {
    blah blah blah
}

That loop reads all rows from the SQL select statement, leaving the ResultSet fully consumes (aka exhausted).
When you then rs.getInt(i) after rs.next() returned false, you are told, "sorry, no can do, you already used all the data", aka SQLException: Exhausted Resultset.

Apple pomace is a by-product of the industrial production of apple juice, amounting to approximately 20-30% of freshly processed apples. Several million tonnes of apple pomace is produced in the world annually. Fresh apple pomace is characterised by high sugar and moisture content, which makes it susceptible to microbial contamination, uncontrolled fermentation and spoiling. Despite increasingly stricter legal regulations in managing biodegradable waste, large quantities of apple pomace are still being disposed of at landfills, posing a serious environmental issue. Since apple pomace has a certain nutritive value, it seems necessary to consider possibilities for using it as animal feed. The main goal of this research was to examine the possibility for using dried apple pomace as animal feed, i.e., as a raw material in the industrial production of animal feed. Accordingly, the nutritive value of dried apple pomace was examined, along with the process of pelleting, since pelleting is one
of the most common technological procedures in the industrial production of animal feed. The testing of the chemical composition of dried apple pomace, used to determine its nutritive value, included the analyses of the content of raw proteins, raw fats, raw fibres, ash, neutral detergent fibres (NDF), acid detergent lignin (ADL), lignin, total sugars, individual sugars – fructose, glucose and sucrose, essential amino-acids, vitamins and mineral elements. When compared with the majority of commonly used animal feeds, the dried apple pomace was found to contain large amounts of raw fibres and sugars and small amounts of proteins and fats. In accordance with the determined nutritional composition of the dried apple pomace, concentrate mixtures for fattening pigs were prepared, after which a trial was performed to examine the effect of feeding the animals on the mixtures containing dried apple pomace in different concentrations on the production performance of the fattening pigs. The results of the feeding trial showed that adding 7% of dried apple pomace in the growing period and 10% in the finishing period had no negative effects on the animal health, production and meat yield. In the next part of the research, the dried apple pomace was pressed into pellets, with three starting moisture contents in the unpelleted material – 10%, 13% and 16%. The examination of the produced pellets showed that they had very good physical quality in terms of the pellet durability index (PDI) and hardness. The value of PDI exceeded 99% for all three starting moisture contents. The bulk density of the pelleted dried apple pomace was nearly twice as large as it was before pelleting. Increasing the moisture content in the dried apple pomace from 13% to 16% resulted in lower temperatures and energy consumption in the process of pelleting. The goal of the next part of the research was to examine the effect of adding apple pomace into the concentrate mixture models consisting of corn and sunflower meal on the physical quality of the obtained pellets, the specific electricity consumption of the pellet press and the temperature of the pellet press die. Three concentrate mixture models were prepared for the test, comprising 0%, 10% and 20% of dry apple pomace. The mixtures were conditioned by adding water to reach the moisture content of 13%, 15% and 17% and pelleted at three settings of the press die (8, 24 and 30 mm). Therefore, three parameters were varied at three levels, in a full factorial experimental design. The dependent variables (response variables) were: PDI, pellet hardness (H), dust content in the pellets, bulk density of the pellets, matrix temperature of the pellet press and the specific energy consumption of the pellet press. The results showed that adding dried apple pomace into the model concentrate mixtures led to a significant increase in pellet quality, especially in terms of increasing the PDI value and decreasing the dust content. The results of the analysis of standard scores (SS) showed that the optimum values for pellet quality, specific energy consumption and temperature of the press die were obtained for the model concentrate mixture containing 10% of dried apple pomace, using 30 mm press die and with 17% of the starting moisture content. Good results were also obtained for the model concentrate mixture containing 20% of dried apple pomace, using 24 mm press die and with 17% of the starting moisture content. To define the effect of the concentration of dried apple pomace in the model mixtures, the press die thickness and the starting moisture content on the change of the response variables, the response surface methodology (RSM) was used. The analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the response models for each of the analysed quality parameters and pelleting processes, showed which of the process parameters (percentage of apple pomace in the concentrate model mixtures, press die thickness and starting moisture content) had statistically the biggest effect on creating the mathematical response models, presented in the form of the second order polynomial (SOP). The results of this research showed that the increase in the percentage of dried apple pomace, press die thickness and starting moisture content led to an increase in PDI value, hardness (H) and bulk density of the pellets and a decrease in the content of dust in the pellets. The increase in the share of apple pomace in the model mixtures and in the die thickness of the pellet press led to an increase in the specific energy consumption and die temperature. On the other hand, the increase in the starting moisture content led to a decrease in the specific energy consumption and die temperature. In the last part of the research, on the basis of the determined nutritive value of the dried apple pomace the author made a calculation, in terms of optimising the concentrate mixtures containing dried apple pomace in the optimum amount for feeding particular species an

Jeff Okudah says LSU can keep 'DB U,' Ohio State is 'Best in America'
Dustin Schutte | 11 months ago
A few college football programs try to stake claim to the term "Defensive Back University," or "DB U" for short. Schools like Florida, Miami, LSU and Ohio State have all made the claim they have the best defensive backs in the country.
While those other schools bicker over owning the term "DB U," former Buckeye defensive back Jeff Okudah knows the program with the most talent, pride and history in the secondary is Ohio State.
Friday, Okudah spoke with the media about several topics while at the NFL Scouting Combine. In a one-on-one segment on NFL Network, the former Ohio State star asked if the Buckeyes had an argument for the term "DB U."
His response was priceless.
"We don't challenge it, we don't even concern ourselves with that anymore," Okudah said, when asked if Ohio State challenged LSU for the title. "They can have 'DB U.' We call it 'BIA,' Best in America."
Ohio State has seen plenty of its former defensive backs have incredible success at the college and professional level. Names like Denzel Ward, Marshon Lattimore and Okudah have helped make OSU one of the best destinations in the country for secondary players.
Okudah also explained what sets the Buckeyes apart.
"I think it's just about trying to be better than the defensive back that came before you. The bar is always set so high at Ohio State," he said.
Okudah is one of 11 Buckeyes attending this year's NFL Scouting Combine. He's considered by many to be a top five selection in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Preview: The 2nd Annual Hideout Harmonica Hoedown @ The Hideout 2/17
By Marc Fishman
There are so many ways to describe Chicago using the "descriptor + town" formula, that it's almost a pointless cliche to even try. Chicago is a blues town, it's a jazz town, it's a comedy town, it's an anything town. We get it. But get specific enough, and things start to get a little more interesting. Did it occur to anyone, for example, that Chicago is also a thriving harmonica town?
Well, it is, and there's a concert this Sunday at The Hideout to help you understand why.
The Hideout presents its second annual Harmonica Hoedown concert this Sunday, featuring performances from Chicago-area harpists Joe Filisko, James Conway, Bob Kessler, and special guests.
Filisko, Conway, and Kessler have each won significant respect in the harmonica world as virtuosic players, historians, and instructors. Filisko, for example, is largely credited with compiling some of the first authoritative guidelines on harmonica playing and technique--something that had never existed previously, despite the instrument's long history in American music. Conway, on the other hand is an active local musician known for playing in the Celtic power trio The Boils, in addition to teaching courses at The Old Town School of Folk Music and other places. Kessler is a versatile harmonica player trained by jazz musicians and capable of playing much more himself.
The harmonica is such a simple, tiny instrument, but it fits well into a variety of genres--and hearing it played well has the potential to induce unexpected "that's-a-harmonica!?" types of reactions. Watch Conway perform a cover of Neil Young's "For the Turnstiles" below, for an example:
The Hideout Harmonica Hoedown is this Sunday at 7pm. Doors open at 6pm, and tickets are $10. The Hideout is located at 1354 W. Wabansia Ave. The show is 21+.

Administrators, faculty and staff gathered at East Rockaway Junior-Senior High School for Superintendent's Day Ed Camp on Feb. 16.
After enjoying a light breakfast, those in attendance heard from keynote speaker Dr. Nancy Kaplan, associate provost for academic support services and external academic partnerships from St. John's University. Dr. Kaplan discussed implicit bias and how it contributes to social inequities in the criminal justice system, healthcare, employment, and within schools in terms of discipline, opportunity, expectation, recognition and ultimately achievement. She also called on the educators to reflect on where they were in terms of managing their own biases.
"Are you neutral, meaning you treat all people the same? Are you cognizant, meaning you sometimes treat individuals differently based on their difference and what he or she needs? Are you reflective, meaning that you know unconscious bias can impact decisions you make and you try to consider each action with that in mind? Or are you proactive, meaning you know that unconscious bias can impact decisions you make so you actively and continuously challenge yourself and improve your skills around these issues?" Dr. Kaplan asked.
After the keynote address, district educators attended various sessions, including Fostering Inclusion: Understanding My Role, led by Dr. Kaplan. Other sessions held throughout the day focused on technology, special education, communication, math learning standards and more.

By Friday evening, logistics surrounding an anticipated fodder lift from Amberley RAAF base to flood-stricken north west Queensland were still uncertain.
The danger that loose hay could pose to the sophisticated aircraft instrumentation was believed to be a barrier to the proposal.
However, the Australian Defence Force delivered fuel by helicopter to Julia Creek on Friday, and 1500 bales of hay from Mundubbera and South Australia donated by Rural Aid arrived in Winton during the afternoon.
It's one of the initiatives being called for in the wake of the unprecedented natural disaster that hit Queensland's north west earlier in the week, that has resulted in the deaths of many thousands of cattle.
A state government spokesman said they were working closely with federal and local governments plus industry to deliver assistance.
Resupplying property stocks could begin from Winton on Saturday morning.
Cloncurry mayor, Greg Campbell, and Winton stock agent, Tom Brodie, were both cautious about how the hay would help.
Cr Campbell, who had just seen the devastation of his own herd from the air, said it could cause a slop on the soft, waterlogged ground.
He said it would have to be a paddock by paddock assessment for individuals.
In Tom Brodie's case, the cattle he had left alive were best left alone to try and regain their strength.
Julia Creek's Rachael Anderson was one of those containing a growing frustration with delays to assistance.
They estimated a 50pc loss among their herd, saying what had survived were on higher ridges.
While their urgent need for avgas was met by the ADF on Friday, they were still in need of hay.
"We've been told it's coming for three days – we're losing faith," she said.
"Hay was needed three days ago. They asked what we wanted, we told them, but nothing's happened.
Almost 200 bales of forage sorghum bound for Winton as part of Rural Aid relief efforts.
The hay cavalry on its way to Winton passed through Longreach on Friday afternoon.
Hay growers Rusell Zahnow and Brian Sporne were loaded with almost 200 bales of forage sorghum as part of the Rural Aid relief effort.
Both from Mundubbera in south east Queensland, their haul to Winton would cover more than 1100 kilometres of road.
They had scrambled to make their way to Longreach by Friday afternoon, having first heard about the hay drop plan on Wednesday evening.
Mr Zahnow, from the Zahnoonah Pastoral Company, said the trucks would probably unload in Winton at the crack of dawn on Saturday morning, before heading back to Mundubbera and making another round trip with more fodder.
Joint federal/state disaster assistance will make grants of up to $75,000 available for primary producers in affected areas.

Joseph Kony (* 1961) je vůdce ugandské partyzánské skupiny Boží armáda odporu (LRA), která se násilně snaží nastolit teokratický režim založený na Desateru. LRA je známá pro činy páchané proti civilistům, např. vraždy, mrzačení, znásilnění a snad i kanibalismus.

LRA vešla pod vedení Konyho ve známost pro zločiny proti obyvatelům několika zemí, mezi nimi severní Uganda, Demokratická republika Kongo, Jižní Súdán, Súdán a v posledních letech především Středoafrická republika. Podle odhadů bylo 66 000 dětí touto skupinou uneseno a donuceno k boji. Počet mrtvých se odhaduje na 100 až 140 tisíc, odhad však nelze ověřit. Od počátku nepokojů v roce 1986 bylo přes 2 miliony lidí donuceno opustit svoje domovy. V roce 2005 byl Kony Mezinárodním trestním soudem v Haagu obžalován z válečných zločinů, ale zatím nebyl dopaden. Naposledy byl viděn ve Středoafrické republice, předpokládá se, že Armáda božího odporu již na území Ugandy neoperuje. Někteří varují, že se možná pokouší v bezpečí nefungující Středoafrické republiky nachytat a vytrénovat nové vojáky a připravit novou invazi do Ugandy.

Do povědomí široké veřejnosti napříč světem se Joseph Kony dostal po spuštění kampaně na jeho dopadení na jaře 2012, která nese název Kony 2012. Jejím epicentrem je krátký emočně laděný dokument. Autorem je humanitární organizace Invisible children. Kampaň se velice rychle rozšířila po sociální síti Facebook a o jejím průběhu začala informovat i seriózní média. Někteří kampaň Kony 2012 kritizují jako pokus o ospravedlnění invaze do Ugandy, jiní tyto teorie rozporují. Jako argument bylo předkládáno především nevyjasněné financování Invisible children.

Život

Dětství
Joseph Kony se narodil do rodiny farmáře roku 1961 ve vesnici Odek na severu Ugandy. Se sourozenci měl vztahy dobré, ale při hádkách se uchyloval k fyzickému násilí. Jeho otec byl katechetou katolické církve a matka byla anglikánka. Kony byl po několik let ministrantem, po 15. roce však přestal do kostela docházet. Jako teenager byl v učení šamanismu pod vedením svého staršího bratra, Jamie Browa, a po jeho smrti převzal jeho místo. Střední školu nevystudoval.

Kony poprvé vešel ve známost v lednu 1986 jako vůdce jednoho z mnoha premilenialistických hnutí, které vznikla v oblasti Ačoli při rozšíření Hnutí Ducha svatého pod vedením Alice Auma (známá také jako Lakwena). Uvažuje se, že Kony je její příbuzný.
Ztráta jejich vlivu po svržení prezidenta Ačoli Tita Okella Yoweri Musevenim jeho Armádou národního odporu (ANO) během Ugandské občanské války (1981–1986) vyvolala nevoli mezi obyvateli Ačoli, což vyneslo Josephu Konymu popularitu.
