SPEECH BY THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA, SHRI PRANAB MUKHERJEE AT THE GOLDEN JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS OF JAWAHARLAL INSTITUTE OF POSTGRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION AND RESEARCH (JIPMER)
Puducherry : 26.09.2014
1.It is a happy occasion for me to be here this afternoon for the Golden Jubilee celebrations of Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), which is one of the top medical institutes of our country. I thank you for inviting me to be a part of this historic event.
2.I am glad to use this occasion to visit Puducherry again, after a year. It is a fascinating city with beautiful boulevards and placid promenades. It is a sheer delight to witness the rich architecture of its buildings. This place is associated with Sri Aurobindo, who established an Ashram that has followers from around the world. Puducherry is also linked to revered Tamil poets: Bharathidasan, who was born here; and Subramania Bharathiar, who chose this place to write some of his memorable poems.
3.On this significant occasion of Golden Jubilee of JIPMER, I compliment the entire fraternity of this Institute. I am told that as part of the year-long celebrations, JIPMER has conducted national and international conferences and workshops; held a marathon to focus on eradication of tuberculosis; and launched initiatives like the Emergency Disaster Management Centre. It also has plans to hold medical camps and exhibitions, and community interaction programmes. I wish you a smooth completion of these activities.
4.Though JIPMER is fifty years old, the origin of this institution can be traced back to 1823 when a medical college called École de Médicine de Pondichérry was established by the French Government. After the transfer of Pondicherry to India, the Government of India took over the college and named it Medical College Pondicherry. It was thereafter called Dhanvantari Medical College for a short period. Upon its up-gradation to a regional post-graduate institute, it was re-named JIPMER in 1964. It became an Institution of National Importance in 2008.
5.JIPMER has made rapid progress in recent years. With over 40 academic departments, including over 20 post-graduate courses and 8 super-specialty programmes, this medical school caters to a wide spectrum of medical education. The establishment of crucial facilities - a 360-bed Super-Specialty Block, a hundred-bed Emergency Medical Service and Trauma Care Centre, a 76-bed Regional Cancer Centre, and a 400-bed Women and Children Hospital - has rendered this premier Institution a privileged responsibility in the sphere of healthcare. Its persistent drive to expand is noteworthy and I congratulate all those associated with these endeavours.
6.Good health is mankind's foremost possession. Without it, one suffers from incapacity in accessing good education, in seeking employment opportunities, and in leading a decent life. Lord Buddha had said and I quote: "Health is the greatest gift, contentment the greatest wealth…." (unquote).
7.In India, we have the largest young population in the world, with over fifty per cent of our population below 25 years of age. By 2020, the average age of an Indian will be 29 years, as compared to 37 years for a Chinese or an American. The proportion of working age population is likely to be 64 per cent by 2021. This demographic dividend is for our taking, provided we have a healthy and educated population.
8.A holistic healthcare system - universally accessible, affordable and effective – is the need of the hour. It calls for a strong healthcare infrastructure, trained and motivated personnel, and access to medicines and modern equipments. There are 7 hospital beds per 10,000 population in India, compared to 23 in Brazil, 38 in China and 97 in Russia. There are 7 physicians per 10,000 population in India, compared to 19 in Brazil, 15 in China and 43 in Russia. Though schemes like the National Rural Health Mission have improved service delivery in India, health services are still constrained by its reach and quality. Primary healthcare is critical as it reduces the need for tertiary care. Public financing for healthcare in India is less than one percent of the world's total health expenditure. As Indians are a sixth of humanity, this is woefully meager. Our expenditure levels have to rise significantly to ensure universal health coverage.
9.'Health for All' is a maxim that needs to be put into practice immediately. Most developed nations of the world have proficient healthcare systems to take care of the medical needs of its population. We need to study these systems without blindly following them. Our country, due to its sheer size, population and diversity, has to follow a model that best suit our needs. The power of technology has to be utilized in a meaningful way in the health sector. The tele-medicine project, which uses satellite technology, connects remote health centres with super-specialty hospitals for expert consultation to reach the needy and under-served. India is a global leader in information technology. We should require no further prodding to put in place such innovative solutions to take care of the medical needs of our vast population.
10.I am told that the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has embarked upon formulating a new health policy. Our immediate aim should be to eradicate communicable diseases and control the non-communicable ones. In my Address to the Joint Session of Parliament in June this year, I had announced that tertiary healthcare would receive renewed focus. I am happy to note that JIPMER will be the first amongst medical institutions where new Schools of Public Health are going to be set up.
11.Some medical treatments are expensive. But, that should never translate into denial of cure to any, including the poor. In India, out-of-pocket expenditure comprises 86 percent of private expenditure on health. Due to lack of financial risk protection, many in our country plunge into poverty fighting ailments and bearing high costs of treatment. A strong health insurance mechanism is the key. As per a survey, over 300 million people in India are covered by health insurance. This number has been projected to rise to 630 million, or a half of the population, by 2015. I hope that the National Health Assurance Mission, which has been envisaged, will help bring more and more people under the health security net.
12.A holistic approach to healthcare is necessary. Due to the increasing trend of lifestyle-related diseases, precautionary strategies have become important. Prevention of medical conditions calls for proper counseling. Healthy living has to be fostered from a very young age. 7 percent of the world's children are obese or over-weight. Obesity in childhood can lead to health complications later. Balanced diet, physical activity and lifestyle management have to be promoted. Special interventions are necessary for newborns as the first four weeks of life, during which 44 per cent of deaths of children below five years occur, are crucial. Life-saving medicines and procedural expertise have to be available far and wide. Hygiene and sanitation also play an important role in preventing the occurrence or spread of diseases. I am hopeful that under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, we would be able to cover every household by total sanitation in the next five years.
13.Health research is a much-neglected area in our country. Research is essential for the development of medical interventions necessary to maintain good health by the people. Development ofsound systems of medicine requires translation of knowledge gained in other disciplines. It has been demonstrated how knowledge from aviation, automation and robotics can be used for optimizing healthcare. Medical research has to be, therefore, a culmination of multi-disciplinary effort comprising varied fields like medical electronics, systems biology, bio-technology, genomics, mathematical simulation and information and communication. JIPMER should aim to enrich its research-based publications, go for patent filings, and develop models addressing common health problems by integrating Indian Systems of Medicine.
14.We need researchers, with talent and integrity, to work in our institutions. Researchers have to fully understand what innovative solutions are required in various branches of healthcare. At the same time, research findings have to be implemented on the ground rather than being confined to the academic sphere. It is, therefore, crucial to strike close collaborations between researchers and policymakers.
15.To be counted as one of the developed nations in the world, we have to create a 'healthy' India. The latitude for discretion is less. We have to act now, and fast. JIPMER has a profound role to play in this endeavour. True to your mission, which is 'to see the smile on the face of the poor', I am sure you all will be the ambassadors of change, and measure your success by the smiles you bring in the millions of our countrymen in the years to come. With these words, I conclude. I once again wish all of you the very best.

Obama to Announce $3 Billion U.S. Contribution to Climate Change Fund
Amanda Casanova | ChristianHeadlines.com Contributor | Friday, November 14, 2014
President Obama is expected to announce that the United States will earmark $3 billion to an international fund dedicated to helping the world's poorest countries affected by climate change.
"We're doing this because it is in our national interest to build resilience in developing countries to climate change," said an unnamed senior administration official to the New York Times.
The announcement is expected to come at a summit meeting this weekend in Australia.
Earlier this week, Obama also announced that the United States and China will commit to limiting greenhouse gas emissions.
Speaker John A. Boehner said: "This announcement is yet another sign that the president intends to double down on his job-crushing policies no matter how devastating the impact for America's heartland and the country as a whole."
Obama's pledge of $3 million will go to the Green Climate Fund. The US is hoping the announcement encourages other countries to also pledge to help the poor countries.
"The contribution by the U.S. will have a direct impact on mobilizing contributions from the other large economies," said Hela Cheikhrouhou, executive director of the Green Climate Fund. "The other large economies — Japan, the U.K. — have been watching to see what the U.S. will do."

August 30th is scheduled to be a historic day. The day the biggest infrastructure development project ever undertaken in Maldives is completed and inaugurated. The day Maldivians start enjoying the mega project which has linked Male' City and Hulhule' via land.
As inauguration of the Sinamale Bridge, developed by CCCC Second Harbor Engineering of China draws nearer, last minute preparations are underway. But the press has not yet been allowed access to a close-up of the last minute preparations.
Media consultant at Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure, Ahmed Fazaal Hussain reports the security at the bridge is now being maintained by Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF). He said the Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure no longer has any authority to grant access to the area to the press or any other party for security reasons.
Information officer at MNDF, Captain Ibrahim Azim has confirmed the MNDF is in charge of maintaining security at the Sinamale Bridge.
Meanwhile, Ministry of Housing and Infrastructure says the installation of asphalt on the roads connected to the bridge will be completed within the next two-three days.
The USD 300 million project was financed with a USD 100 million grant from the government of China, a USD 170 million 2 percent interest rate loan from China, and USD 30 million from the Maldivian government.
Inauguration of the Sinamale' Bridge is scheduled to be opened with fireworks and other festivities.
Several senior officials from both the Maldivian and Chinese government will attend the inauguration.
The bridge stretches 2 kilometers and is 20.3 meters wide.
Bike Maldives is preparing to hold a mass bicycle rally on the bridge on Friday morning to celebrate the inauguration of the bridge, after which State-funded weddings on top of the bridge will take place.

Q: Настройка вывода данных массива Есть код который выводит все папки нужного размера из выбранной директории. Код работает и выводит построчно названия соответ.условию файлов, но мне нужно, что бы помимо названия файла, выводился его размер и через пробел путь к этому файлу,
Т.е. сейчас выводиться например: name.txt  , а необходимо:  500kb /Users/Desktop/name.txt
Я понимаю, что в моем случае размер файла находим методом file.length(), но куда его вставить не пойму.
import java.io.File;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class Main {
    public static final int MIN_LENGTH = 150;  //размер файла в байтах

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        File directory = new File("C:\\Users\\Desktop\\");  // путь к нужной директории

        if (directory.isDirectory()) {
            String[] fileList = directory.list((dir, name ) -> {
                File file = (new File(dir + "\\" + name ));
                return file.isFile() && file.length() >= MIN_LENGTH ;
            });
            if (fileList != null) {
                Stream.of(fileList).forEach(System.out::println);   // вывод в консоль построчно, а не в массиве
            }
        }
    }
}

A: Отдельно объявил фильтр и сделал перебор по File, а результаты вывел в цикле
Пример:
File directory = new File("C:\\Users\\excit\\Desktop\\dpo_java_basics-master(2)");  // путь к нужной директории

if (directory.isDirectory()) {
    java.io.FileFilter filterBySize = file -> file.isFile() && file.length() >= MIN_LENGTH;
    File[] files = directory.listFiles(filterBySize);
    if (files != null) {
        for (File file : files) {
            System.out.printf("%s KB / %s%n", file.length() / 1024, file);
        }
    }
}

Цикл можно заменить на streams+лямбду:
            Stream.of(files).forEach(file ->
                    System.out.printf("%s KB / %s\n", file.length() / 1024, file)
            );

While you're on vacation, there are some things you can always expect on the Gulf Coast, but we can guarantee you're going to love it!
Surf Shops can be found almost every half-mile along the Gulf Coast. They all sell the same items, so there is no reason to worry about where to stop!
Traffic on 59 can be hectic during lunch and rush hour. Make sure you plan accordingly, so you can beat the traffic!
Bathing suit attire is acceptable in practically every store and restaurant which means that no one will judge your wind-blown beach hair at lunch. Don't be surprised if all you see is people in cover-ups and swim trunks.
Seaweed is just a part of being in the Gulf of Mexico. Grab a float and make a game out of dodging the seaweed!
Humidity is a real thing here on the Gulf Coast which can make your hair frizz and the air feel a bit sticky, but that just gives you an excuse to wear a cute beach hat or visor. Plus, everyone loves the "beachy waves" look during the summer.
Sand will be everywhere. It's just a known fact around the Gulf Coast. Embrace it! It will be in your hair, car, and between your toes. Sand is a natural exfoliate for your skin, so it's like a free spa trip.
Every restaurant has "the best seafood", because honestly it's just true. The Gulf Coast is the perfect place to end your seafood cravings.
Southerners are just nice You'll always get a smile, way, or even a smile "Hey y'all, welcome!" wherever you go.
The love of football is strong down in the south, so if you hear people yelling "Roll Tide!" or "War Eagle!," don't be alarmed. That's totally normal.
The locals never get tired of the view. Living on the beach is amazing – even during the winter. The locals get to literally wake up to the sound of the Gulf and seagulls every morning.
The Gulf Coast is an amazing place! We hope you enjoy your time vacationing with us.

Q: How to find Min and Max within the group in power bi I am trying to find a DAX formula to show in the card to display the season range between the year and week. I want to get the min week in the min year and max week and max year :
I have the below table:

I want to show the card like below:
"Between 2020-33 and 2021-1"
But the below formula shows as :
"Between 2020-1 and 2021-52"
Can anyone please help me to find the DAX to show the correct card?
My current formula is like below:
Min_Season =
CALCULATE (
    MIN ( 'Year-Week_Table'[Year] ),
    FILTER ( 'Flag-Year-Week_Table', 'Flag-Year-Week_Table'[STD_CY_Ind] = 1 )
) & "-"
    & CALCULATE (
        MIN ( 'Year-Week_Table'[Week] ),
        FILTER ( 'Flag-Year-Week_Table', 'Flag-Year-Week_Table'[STD_CY_Ind] = 1 )
    ) & " and "
    & CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Year-Week_Table'[Year] ),
        FILTER ( 'Flag-Year-Week_Table', 'Flag-Year-Week_Table'[STD_CY_Ind] = 1 )
    ) & "-"
    & CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Year-Week_Table'[Week] ),
        FILTER ( 'Flag-Year-Week_Table', 'Flag-Year-Week_Table'[STD_CY_Ind] = 1 )
    )

A: The DAX is calculating the min/max of year where flag = 1 and then independently the min/max of week where flag = 1, which is why the result is "Between 2020-1 and 2021-52".
You really want the min/max of the combination of Year and Month combined, not independently (e.g. for the first row 2020-33).  You can achieve this by combining the columns first with
Year-Week = 'Flag-Year-Week_Table'[Year] & "-" & 'Flag-Year-Week_Table'[Week]

and then alter your DAX to consider the min/max of the new column
Min_Season =
    CALCULATE
    (
        MIN ('Flag-Year-Week_Table'[Year-Week]),
        FILTER ( 'Flag-Year-Week_Table', 'Flag-Year-Week_Table'[Season Flag] = 1  )

    )
    & " and "  &
    CALCULATE (
        MAX ( 'Flag-Year-Week_Table'[Year-Week] ),

        FILTER ( 'Flag-Year-Week_Table', 'Flag-Year-Week_Table'[Season Flag] = 1  )
    )

This duffle coat, made from thick felted wool, was used by Michael Wyn (1917-1998) known as 'Micky Wynn', the 7th Baron Lord Newborough, during the Second World War. He was a decorated war hero and Colditz inmate. In 1942 he played a decisive role in Operation Chariot, a spectacular and daring sea bourne raid on the port at St Nazaire, during which he was captured by the Germans.
Born the eldest son of Sir Robert Vaughan Wynn, 6th Baron Newborough, he was educated at Oundle school. He served in the British Army (1935-40) and the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve (1941-46) during and before the Second World War.
After the war he returned to farming and became the High Sheriff of Merionethshire in 1963. He succeeded his father as Lord Newborough in 1965. In 1971, he sold Bardsey Island to the Bardsey Island Trust. Glynllifon estate belonged to the Lords Newborough before it was sold in the 1950s.
The first duffle coats were produced by John Partridge, manufacturer of outwear clothing in the 1850s. It was used by the Navy and the military during the Second World War as it provided protection against harsh weather without restricting movement. Men of any rank could wear the same jacket.
This item can be seen in the COLLECT AND KEEP exhibition at STORIEL until 31 December, 2021.

United Al Saqer Group
Employees of United Al Saqer Group Enjoy
a Smooth Transition to a New Platform for
Email, Calendars, and Contacts
"This Exchange migration project was really critical to us, and it turned out to be one of the most successful IT projects we've had."
- Osama Abushaban, Head of ICT/IT, United Al Saqer Group
Al Saqer Group had used a Lotus Notes and domino messaging environment for many years. However, the costs of annual licenses and maintenance for this environment, as well as poor support from third-party vendors, were becoming an increasing concern. Additionally, it was becoming difficult to integrate new applications because Lotus Notes was not supported by many of the application vendors.
Given these challenges, the Al Saqer Group decided to migrate to a Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft SharePoint environment. The first migration project would transition the messaging system from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Outlook for nearly 600 users in 16 sites.
Osama Abushaban, head of ICT/IT for United Al Saqer Group, knew that outsourcing the migration activity would be essential for the project's success.
"As an IT person, you may do this kind of project only once during your career in an organization," said Abushaban. "Because the messaging system migration could greatly disrupt our everyday operations, we didn't want to take the risk of not knowing the best migration processes and tools."
Partnering for a Successful Migration
Al Saqer Group chose InnoKAT, a Binary Tree Premier Partner and Microsoft Gold Partner, to conduct the messaging migration project. The quality of the technical proposal presented by InnoKAT, the recommendation to use the Binary Tree migration solution, and a positive experience on previous projects for Al Saqer Group were factors in this selection.
InnoKAT used the Binary Tree Notes Migrator CMT solution to perform the actual migration of user accounts, email messages, contact lists, and calendar entries from Lotus Notes to Microsoft Outlook.
The migration activity was largely trouble-free, with only one problem in moving a few user mailboxes that was resolved by reconnecting a physical server. "Using Binary Tree Notes Migrator CMT was one of the reasons that we finished such a critical migration without any major issues," said Khaliq Rehman, Project Manager for InnoKAT.
Migration activity was also considered a success by the Al Saqer team. "Because we hadn't gone through this kind of migration before, I was concerned that we would experience big issues," said Abushaban. "But 95 percent of the migration process went according to plan, which meant it didn't have an impact on our users."
A Simpler Experience for Users
Abushaban's team chose to migrate a small number of users each day in order to provide individual training and support. "We were concerned that the change to Outlook would have a big impact on our corporate culture because we had used Lotus Notes for so long. But we found that many of our employees were already familiar with Outlook, which eliminated the time we previously had to spend training new employees on how to use Lotus Notes," said abushaban.
Users like the option of accessing their email through a web browser, a feature that was not available for their Lotus Notes accounts. and by using Microsoft active directory, the It team has created a single sign-on for both email and applications, which also simplifies user access.
From the perspective of both business and user impact, "This project was really critical to us, and it turned out to be one of the most successful IT projects we've had," said Abushaban.
A Foundation for New Applications
For the future, Abushaban notes that, "Migrating to Microsoft Exchange for messaging gives us the foundation for moving forward on several collaboration projects on our IT roadmap." These projects include integration with IP telephony systems, human resources and payroll systems, a customer relationship management (CRM) system, and a dealership management system.

Li Na says Osaka needs 'desire' to go further
Former French and Australian Open champion Li Na also cautioned it was unwise to judge Serena Williams, who brought a halt to her season after the US Open final.
08 October, 2018 16:15 IST
Retired Chinese tennis player Li Na feels Naomi Osaka can win many Grand Slam titles "if she really has the desire to be a champion". - AFP
Chinese tennis great Li Na said US Open champion Naomi Osaka can go on and win multiple Grand Slam titles if she can find the inner desire to match her physical abilities.
Osaka has admitted feeling burdened by expectations after last month's stunning victory in New York, saying she puts pressure on herself to "do more, do better". The 20-year-old world number four was also in tears after her "bittersweet" US Open win, which was marred by Serena Williams' explosive row by the chair umpire.
"I believe with her abilities and strength, she can win many (Grand Slam titles) -- that is if she really has the desire to be a champion," Li told AFP ahead of the Hong Kong Open.
Osaka, Asia's second Grand Slam singles champion after Li, has pulled out of the Hong Kong tournament with a back injury.

Williams, 37, brought a halt to her season after the US Open final, where her latest attempt at a record-equalling 24th major title ended in acrimony. But Li, the former French Open and Australian Open winner who retired in 2014, cautioned that it was unwise to judge Williams, who is back on the circuit after becoming a mother last September.
"Looking at the players from the sidelines, we might not really understand some of their psychological conditions on the court," said Li.
"I've always thought she is a very strong player. There are very few players who can give birth and then immediately come back out," she added. "For me, it's really hard to find a balance between family and the tennis court, but she very quickly got into the US Open final."
Li is often credited with igniting tennis interest in Asia and especially in China, but she said the sport still had a long way to go.
"Tennis in Asia is still in its adolescence. We have just passed the infancy stage, so we can still go a lot further," said Li.

Freak Heat Waves
EDDYEVVY
Kristian North
@ ANAF (41 Quebec St)
Doors 9PM - $10 Cover
The ANAF is an accessible venue
~FREAK HEAT WAVES (MTL/Victoria)~
Stripped to a two piece, Freak Heat Waves has entered a woozy, psychedelic new world of downtuned post-punk. The band's latest album, Beyond XXXL, sounds like warped kraut-rock or a screwed and chopped version of a Roadhouse band - it's perfect for dancing while simultaneously getting your bean freaked.
https://freakheatwaves.bandcamp.com/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Lfhff-01x4
~EDDEVVY (Waterloo)~
Waterloo has birthed a monster. Originating in 2016 as a duo consisting of Micaela Loreto and Mitchell Hartung, EDDYEVVY has since fleshed out into a 4-piece with the addition of Jae Holdsworth and Eric Repke. Recalling early '90s bands like Slowdive, Sonic Youth and My Bloody Valentine, Eddyevvy plays music that thoughtfully blends the noisey with the melodic. With a great EP called I'm Glad You Were Born to their name, this is a band to fall into.
https://eddyevvy.bandcamp.com/
~Kristian North Band (MTL/Victoria)~
The frontperson for Victoria stoner grunge-punk masters, Babysitter, Kristian North has taken a trip to the weird world of '80s rock, mixing together late era Dylan and Cohen with bouncing new wave guitars and screeching synths to create something that is poppy, fun, infectious, and confounding. Backed by a group of Montreal's best rockers, this live show is not to be missed.

CHESTERFIELD, NJ – The Chesterfield Township Committee passed a resolution supporting a fire consolidation recommendation, which details combining Crosswicks Fire Company with Chesterfield Hose Company.
At last Thursday's meeting, the Committee heard from Brian Wilson, former Fire Chief of Chesterfield Hose Company, a representative for a subcommittee looking into details regarding fire consolidation within the township.
The subcommittee is made up of representatives from Chesterfield Hose Company, the Crosswicks Fire Company, District #1 Commissioners, and District #2 Commissioners. Wilson pointed to a reducing amount of volunteers as the reason for the interest in consolidation.
Crosswicks Fire Company currently has 15 volunteers, but some are support staff as some aren't certified to fight fires or drive the trucks. In 2003, District #1 Commissioners decided to hire 6 paid professional firefighters, who are at the firehouse 7am-5pm 5 days a week. Chesterfield Hose Company is 100% volunteer and is looking towards needing career firefighters as sometimes there is a delayed 9-1-1 response or no response at all. It is standard protocol to have 4 firefighters at the station before leaving to go to an emergency.
Former Chief Wilson detailed the estimated fiscal impact of consolidation. District #2 (mostly made up of Chesterfield homes) would see an annual tax increase of approximately $80. District #1 (mostly made up of Crosswicks homes, including much of the newer developments) could expect an increase of approximately $23 per year. Wilson explained that since District #2 has never paid for career firefighters, their taxes would increase when combining with Crosswicks Fire Company.
The Subcommittee has many more details to work out, but the plan would be to have District #1 expand to cover the entire township and operate primarily from the Chesterfield Hose Company on Route 528. Wilson says the building is big enough for all the equipment and is centrally located within the township. WBNC News notes that it is centrally located geographically, but it is not when one is looking at population distribution.
State law requires that the governing body of the township must support any consolidation of fire districts, and following Wilson's presentation, the Chesterfield Township Committee passed a resolution authorizing the Fire District Subcommittee to continue researching the consolidation.
Later in the meeting, Committeewoman Denise Koetas-Dale gave details on the ongoing demolition of the former Mincemeat Factory on Crosswicks-Chesterfield Road. The developer, after meetings with the Chesterfield Twp Historical Commission, has decided to restore the former blacksmith's shop and leave it where it is at the corner of Ellisdale Road in Crosswicks.


No limit Holdem is just one of the most well-known games out there. In the homes of men and women, in casinos, in the basement of your local community arena, people are playing it and loving it. It is an enjoyable game, however it is one with a lot of aggression and cutthroat behavior. So in order to be sure you don't end up in the streets, it's critical to be aware of some of the techniques that could help you. After all, when you don't know who the bonehead is, it's probably you.
A good initial step is to make sure you have learned the game well. Read books, review sites on the web, and even check out guides from pro Texas Hold'em players. With the games heightened popularity, you won't have a issue finding websites on tactics, codes, and also the past of the game. Understanding such data can help you in a few distinctive methods. One, you might get a better belief about the game through creating your very own point of view on it. Second, you will be able to see how competing players wager when it comes to course of action.
Secondly, there is no more efficient approach to grow stronger than to gamble. By wagering on Holdem online or with your buddies you might have an opportunity to make your mistakes in small stakes circumstances. Then, when you play in a no limit game, you will certainly have achieved your own courage. To get that experience, there are several webpages where you could compete in or just gamble low cost buy in competitions locally. Although free sites can offer you a chance to achieve having a good understanding of poker, players won't place bets the same when there is no real money on the line so you might end up with a false sense of how players play and place bets.
Third, you have to be strong. No Limit Holdem is a cutthroat card game that requires you to devour or be devoured. Teach yourself, through studying, to be tougher and even more fierce when you gamble on the game. It will help you in the next hard game or tournament. It's also a skill you need to learn as you practice playing with individuals on the internet or in real life.

1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. 2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3 and ye have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool: 4 are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts? 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? 6 But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 but if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. 11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. Faith results in good works 14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19 Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Lesson No. 447 "Faith Without Works is......."
1) Verse 1 sounds confusing, but what is James saying? This is said in a different way in other parts of the Word (Acts 10: 34) but means the same.
2) Verses 2 through 4 express a problem in the early church that was a carry-over from the temple and the 'cast' system of the day, what was it? Does this seem like a big deal today? What problems can it cause?
3) What does verse 5 remind us of, and who said it?
4) Verses 6 and 7 seem to put all people with money down; is that the intent of the passage? What is James referring to when he discusses 'rich men'?
5) Verses 8 and 9 describe how we love our neighbor, partiality is not part of God's plan! Verse 10 says that if you show partiality, it's the same as breaking all the commandments and sinning.
6) What judgment and what mercy is James talking about in verses 12 and 13? We are accountable for every word we speak here on earth.
7) Verses 14-17 is the discussion relating faith and works. James shows us how giving a prayer or a blessing without meeting someone's needs (not wants) is pointless- why? What about going the other way? Enabling?
8) Verse 18 says it all- we know that works alone does not build the kingdom; James turns it around by explaining how it is done; what is it?
9) James goes on in verses 19 and 20, to show how just believing in God, even as devils do, does not please Him. Just believing without putting our faith to work is 'dead'. This demonstrated in verses 21 through 23. Yikes!
12) The final example given in verse 26 is pretty stark; what is James saying?


As promised, we have here the second issue of the Fate of the Galaxy NewsGrid! This month has seen a fair amount of activity and I'm proud to be able to report on our progress. I hope that we can continue the success of this newsletter and continue to keep you posted on our developments in an easy to access format. So with that said, Enjoy!
Topgun has been working on some planet backgrounds for us. Presented here are two examples, a young, Volcanic planet and a dead moon.
Work continues on the gameplay. We've made some strides forward in our balancing, and are still combing through the movies to get as close to that feel as possible. We're still a long way from being done, however, so I'm sorry to say that we won't be putting out any releases still for some time.
Please note that the alpha build we're using is open only to the devs at this moment, and we are not looking for Alpha or Beta testers, or Tablers at this time.
As some of you already know, we've now got a full wiki article on the FreeSpace wiki, and at the moment we're the featured article! In addition, we've also set up a Moddb page to open up our access to the rest of the internet outside of Hard-Light. We've recieved some positive feedback and are getting quite a few views off of this, which hopefully should give us a bit more exposure to the public.
Time for our second run at the Meet the Devs segment. This month we take a look at the man who brought us all together: chief1983.
chief1983, who goes by his slave name "Cliff Gordon" in real life, and is known as "Huggy Bear" to his friends (That was a lie,) is the project leader for Fate of the Galaxy. He was an eager lurker awaiting a release in the original incarnation of the Star Wars conversion, but when the project fell apart he took up the reins and revitalised the mod. Naming it Fate of the Galaxy, he began to assemble a team to restart the mod in December of 2006, and it was reborn as a standalone total conversion.
Chief originally was a Star Trek fan who was converted to the light side after picking up a copy of X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter in 2000. He has never looked back since to that dark time he spent as a Trekkie, and prefers not to talk about it. He works as a website programmer for a fantasy sports company, as well as providing freelance tech support.
Cliff lives in St. Louis, Missouri, where he plots his world takeover 37 hours a day.
He also thinks he is Mouse from The Matrix.
Please also note that we are not currently accepting applications for the following: FREDers, Modelers, or "Idea guys"
Once again, I want to thank you for taking the time to read through this Newsletter. Next month we'll have more new content for you, and so without further ado, I bid you good night, good luck, and good riddance.
Well I didn't say that the interview would be the ONLY source I'd use. A good writer never relies on only one source.

There are instances when our body feels like it is oozing with toxic substances that we wish we could get rid of it as soon as possible. That heavy and lethargic feeling may be due to the foods that we have been eating that are causing us to become sluggish. What's more, this can also contribute to your weight gain which is something that you should be concerned with. Fortunately, there is a solution to this issue and that is to do a detox diet.
Detox diet is essentially a diet plan that helps in clearing up your digestive system of all the toxins that have accumulated there over time. This way, all the food that passes through your digestive system will be broken down and eliminated while the nutrients are then absorbed properly. Fortunately, this is not that hard to do because these tips are easy to do.
If you are planning on doing a detox, green tea is a good place to start. This is due to the fact that this beverage is packed with antioxidants that help with the metabolic process. In order to use this drink as part of your detox, you should have a cup in the morning and at night, with a few throughout the day. This depends mostly on how much you want to achieve your detox results.
You may be considering skipping breakfast because you want to lose weight, but this is not recommended by health specialists. One reason behind this is that you will be binging later on. You can start with something healthy such as oatmeal that is sprinkled with cinnamon, or apple with peanut butter spread, or perhaps unsalted nuts. These are just a few examples what you can have for your breakfast.
What other detox method can you use to eliminate those toxins in your body? Well, you better start working out as exercise is one of the best ways to get you sweating a lot. Although you sweat naturally, it would help if you start working out, or at least be moving more. Not only will this eliminate the toxins, but it can also help strengthen your muscles and joints too.
Another tip that you should follow when you are going to go on a detox diet is that you need to load up on liquids. Drinking up to 8 glasses of water per day can help flush out the harmful toxins that may have been lingering in your body. Not only that, but it will be beneficial for the rest of your organs too. You don't have to push yourself too hard though to meet this number. Drink when you are thirsty and leave room for your tea and coffee too. You can tell if you are well hydrated when you are able to go to the bathroom and pee every few hours and that your urine will appear clear.

Summary: The history of Britain after the Second World War is essentially the story of her loss of great power status. Writers discussing this decline often focus on those sources of power which are tangible and capable of measurement: the size of a country's armed forces, her Gross Domestic Product, or her energy reserves. But there are other real sources of power which are not so easily measured. The morale of a nation, the quality, integrity and stability of a country's political system and a nation's sense of unity are all intangible elements. So is diplomatic skill, which is central to the ability of one country to influence another. Roger Makins, the British Ambassador to Washington 1953-1956, was one of the most prominent and powerful diplomats of his time. His career was unusual for a Foreign Office official, in that such a large part of it took place in Washington and London, and was centred on Anglo-American relationships. This book describes his life, times and the important players he dealt with on both sides of the Atlantic. It is history seen through the perspective of the officials trying to serve their countries' interests, and as such it sheds a new light on how the 'special relationship' between Britain and America developed. It also shows the impact on policy a civil servant, who worked and negotiated with almost every important American and British politician and official of his time, can have.

The morale of a nation, the quality, integrity and stability of a country's political system and a nation's sense of unity are all intangible elements. So is diplomatic skill, which is central to the ability of one country to influence another. Roger Makins, the British Ambassador to Washington 1953-1956, was one of the most prominent and powerful diplomats of his time. His career was unusual for a Foreign Office official, in that such a large part of it took place in Washington and London, and was centred on Anglo-American relationships. This book describes his life, times and the important players he dealt with on both sides of the Atlantic. It is history seen through the perspective of the officials trying to serve their countries' interests, and as such it sheds a new light on how the 'special relationship' between Britain and America developed. It also shows the impact on policy a civil servant, who worked and negotiated with almost every important American and British politician and official of his time, can have.

Q: enabling a new service in ubuntu 17.04 I used the suggested answer from this post to make a custom service in my ubuntu 17.04 environment: Installing gitblit GO as service in Ubuntu Server 16.04
Unfortunately when I hit

sudo systemctl enable gitblit_server.service

I receive

Failed to enable unit: File gitblit_server.service: Invalid argument

as an error.
Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Update:
result for journalctl -xe
Sep 01 16:06:22 git-dmz01 sudo[7121]: msoadmin : TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/etc/systemd/system ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/systemctl enable gitblit_server.service
Sep 01 16:06:22 git-dmz01 sudo[7121]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by msoadmin(uid=0)
Sep 01 16:06:22 git-dmz01 systemd[1]: [/etc/systemd/system/gitblit_server.service:12] Missing '='.
Sep 01 16:06:22 git-dmz01 sudo[7121]: pam_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root

content of my file gitblit_server.service:
[Unit]
   Description=gitblit Server CVS
   After=network.target
[Service]
   User=msoadmin
   Type=simple
   WorkingDirectory=/opt/gitblit
   PIDFile=/var/run/gitblit.service.pid
   ExecStartPre=/opt/gitblit/java-proxy-config.sh
   ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -server -Xmx1024M -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar
   /opt/gitblit/gitblit.jar --baseFolder /opt/gitblit/data --dailyLogFile

[Install]
   WantedBy=multi-user.target

A: You are using the wrong answer to create custom services. To start with, custom service files should not be placed within /lib/systemd/system  rather you'd use /etc/systemd/system/your_custom_file.service.
Secondly, after creating the service file you'd run systemct daemon-reload to notify systemd about your newly created file. Make sure you've restored SELinux file context using restorecon -RFvv /etc/systemd/system
After the update, the answer is obvious.
[Service]
.....
....
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -server -Xmx1024M -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar
   /opt/gitblit/gitblit.jar --baseFolder /opt/gitblit/data --dailyLogFile
....

Here, the line that starts with /opt/gitblit/.. is treated as a single line and not part of ExecStart directive which is causing the error. You could simply fix it using a backslash as follows:
ExecStart=/usr/bin/java -server -Xmx1024M -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar \
   /opt/gitblit/gitblit.jar --baseFolder /opt/gitblit/data --dailyLogFile

Finally run:
systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl enable gitblit_server.service

Transport improvements for Leeds set to make first move forward
The first step in bringing about transformational improvements to public transport in Leeds is set to be approved by senior councillors next week.
Leeds City Council's executive board will be asked to formally approve the outline schedule and give the go-ahead for feasibility design work to be carried out for the Leeds Public Transport Investment Programme at its meeting at Civic Hall next week (Wednesday 21 June).
The programme was given the go-ahead in April when the Department for Transport (DfT) gave its support for £173.5million of funding to be invested in a range of improvements in transport in Leeds featuring new and improved rail stations including an airport parkway station, new and enhanced park and ride services, bus priority measures along key corridors and modernised transport hubs across the city.
The plans were initially unveiled in December following the results of the largest transport conversation held in the city, with the proposed improvements forming the start of a new long-term transport strategy for Leeds.
The executive board approval will allow funding to be invested in feasibility design work on the various elements of the programme, which is being managed by Leeds City Council and the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA).
It will also endorse an outline schedule for the programme, which would see a development partner appointed to progress the various schemes in the plan before an outline business case is prepared. A delivery partner would also be appointed to oversee construction of the schemes.
The government funding was secured for Leeds last year, with the funds needing to be committed to public transport schemes before the end of 2021. Work is already underway on improving the exit of Leeds Bus Station and pedestrian facilities on St. Peter's Street.
Together with the £173.5m, additional support from WYCA and private sector stakeholders including £71m investment from First West Yorkshire to provide at least 284 new low-emissions buses for Leeds by the end of 2020, the total funding package available is in excess of £270m.
Leader of Leeds City Council Councillor Judith Blake said:
"This is an important first step in bringing about the massive improvements in public transport we all want to see and which are vital for the future of the city and beyond.
"All of the key elements of the programme reflect what people told us they want to see – more and better public transport choices integrated to make a big difference, which are able to be delivered as quickly as possible. As a city and region we continue to be ambitious and alongside this programme we will also keep working on the longer-term aim of providing the rapid mass-transit system we need."
West Yorkshire Combined Authority Transport Chair Councillor Keith Wakefield said:
"West Yorkshire Combined Authority has supported this ambitious programme, which aligns with our commitment to developing a modern integrated transport network for the whole of the City Region, and will be considering it at our Investment Committee meeting on Friday."
The key elements of the programme include:
Easing congestion, improving bus journey times and reliability through bus priority measures on key corridors in the city including the A61/A639 South, A61 North, A660, A58 north east and A647
New park and ride services at Stourton and north Leeds joining the new service at Temple Green and the success of Elland Road
Improved district transport hubs making use of the latest technologies and better connectivity between local communities and neighbourhoods
New rail stations to support job creation and housing growth at Thorpe Park and White Rose/Millshaw Business Park
A new parkway station on the Leeds to Harrogate line to serve Leeds Bradford Airport and also act as a park and ride in both directions
Enhanced access at Cross Gates, Morley and Horsforth rail stations and car park expansion at New Pudsey to increase its park and ride capacity
Connecting with city centre plans to create modern transport interchanges, enhanced public spaces and maximising the benefits from the remodelled Leeds Station and the arrival of high-speed HS2 and Northern Powerhouse Rail (formerly HS3).
The measures outlined aim to double the number of bus passengers in the next 10 years from the current 250,000 bus journeys made every day in Leeds.
The strategy also looks to encourage more walking and cycling on people-friendly streets, promoting a healthy Leeds through better air quality and reduced carbon emissions due to more use of public transport.
The plans have been supported and guided by the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and the Leeds transport advisory panel. The panel is chaired by Director of Strategy for Transport for the North Nigel Foster, and includes leading transport experts and senior figures from transport bodies and organisations, along with representatives from the worlds of business, education, planning, accessibility, equalities and campaign groups.
The new strategy is in response to the findings of the biggest-ever transport conversation held with residents, businesses, stakeholders and visitors in the city which included more than 8,000 people taking part in a survey last year. The feedback was for deliverable improvements through better rail and bus services, a clear demand for additional park and ride services, congestion issues to be addressed along with improved accessibility to bring communities, businesses and jobs closer together to boost connectivity and the overall economy and productivity of Leeds.
The new Leeds Transport Strategy and the full list of members of the Leeds transport advisory panel can be seen at www.leeds.gov.uk/transportconversation
Additional improvements to rail services in Leeds through Rail North franchise negotiations will see increases in capacity through longer trains and more frequent services, especially at peak times. The outdated pacer units will also be withdrawn by 2020.
The Department for Transport forecasts usage of Leeds Bradford Airport could more than double to 7.1m passengers a year by 2030 rising to over nine million by 2050. Along with improved access by rail, Leeds City Council is also currently considering three options for enhanced road access to the airport.
The transport improvements form part of the wider Leeds City Region economic plan which aims to deliver up to 35,000 new jobs and an additional £3.7billion of economic output by 2036.

Let's clear a few things up
Myth:
Cyclists and pedestrians are exposed to more air pollution than drivers
Wrong. As well as being better for your health and fitness, evidence shows that cyclists and pedestrians are also less exposed to air pollution than people in vehicles. This is because your air filter probably doesn't remove pollution from the air it circulates and being on the road itself means that your vehicles is surrounded by exhaust fumes. Pedestrians and cyclists are also less exposed because even 1 metre away from traffic, there is considerably less pollution than on the road itself.
Turning your engine on and off again whilst sat in traffic releases more emissions than leaving it running.
Whether you're stuck in traffic or just waiting to pick someone up, if you think that your car might be stationary for more than 2 minutes it's better to turn your engine off than leave it running. Doing so will reduce the amount of gases harmful to our health and the environment that your car emits. It's an easy way to reduce your own contribution to air pollution!
