Planning Update
You can download this update as a printable A5 leaflet here
Thank you to everyone who contributed and supported Church Fenton Forward in the work on the Public Inquiry.
Unfortunately, the Planning Inspector’s decision has been received to allow the appeal. As such, the building of 50 houses in the heart of the village has been approved.
Church Fenton Forward have been asked by several members of the community if there is anything else we can do to fight this decision and the answer is YES.
There are options available and after an initial meeting on 30th June, we agree to press on with our ambition to protect the historic core of our village.
If you object to the development here are some ways you can help:
- Add your name to a group response or submit comments separately
- Deliver leaflets, proofread documents, help with research
- Give your expertise in specialised areas
- Financial donations to support with expert advice
- Come to update meetings (virtually)
- Spread the word
If you want to join our group, help and support us no matter how much time you are able to commit or just keep up to date with progress, please get in touch with us on email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and we can add you to our distribution list and invite you to update meetings (held virtually). We respect your right to privacy and as such we will not share your details/email addresses.
We look forward to working with you to protect our community.

Contains functions for mapping odds ratios, hazard ratios, or other effect estimates using individual-level data such as case-control study data, using generalized additive models (GAMs) or Cox models for smoothing with a two-dimensional predictor (e.g., geolocation or exposure to chemical mixtures) while adjusting linearly for confounding variables, using methods described by Kelsall and Diggle (1998), Webster at al. (2006), and Bai et al. (submitted). Includes convenient functions for mapping point estimates and confidence intervals, efficient control sampling, and permutation tests for the null hypothesis that the two-dimensional predictor is not associated with the outcome variable (adjusting for confounders).

AN4.14
“These four, almsmen, exertions.
Which four?
Exertion of restraint, exertion of rejection, exertion of development, exertion of preservation.
And which, almsmen, exertion of restraint?
Here, almsmen, an almsman seeing a form with the eye, is not striving after signs, is not striving after details by reason of which, the power of the eye abiding unrestrained, he would befall to covetousness and discontent and bad unwholesome principles. His method for restraint is to guard against the power of the eye. The power of the eye undergoes the restraint.
Hearing a sound with the ear, ... re ...
Smelling a scent with the nose, ... re ...
Tasting a taste with the tongue, ... re ...
Touching a tangible with the body, ... re ...
Knowing a principle with the intellect, is not striving after signs, is not striving after details by reason of which, abiding the power of the intellect unrestrained, he would befall to covetousness and discontent and bad unwholesome principles. His method for restraint is to guard against the power of the intellect. The power of the intellect undergoes the restraint.
This is called, almsmen, exertion of restraint.
And which, almsmen, exertion of rejection?
Here, almsmen, an almsman does not give in, gets rid of, dispels, destroys, annihilates arisen lustful thoughts.
... re ... arisen malevolent thoughts.
... re ... arisen cruel thoughts.
... re ... whichever arisen bad, unwholesome principles.
This is called, almsmen, exertion of rejection.
And which, almsmen, exertion of development?
Here, almsmen, an almsman develops the awakening factor of recollection, bent on seclusion, bent on fading away, bent on cessation, resulting in relinquishment.
Develops the awakening factor of investigation into principles, ... re ...
Develops the awakening factor of vigour, ... re ...
Develops the awakening factor of joy, ... re ...
Develops the awakening factor of calmness, ... re ...
Develops the awakening factor of concentration, ... re ...
Develops the awakening factor of neutrality, bent on seclusion, bent on fading away, bent on cessation, resulting in relinquishment.
This is called, almsmen, exertion of development.
And which, almsmen, exertion of preservation?
Here, almsmen, an almsman preserves an arisen auspicious sign for concentration:
the perception of a skeleton,
the perception of a maggot infested cadaver,
the perception of a discoloured cadaver,
the perception of a festering cadaver,
the perception of a fissured cadaver,
the perception of a bloated cadaver.
This is called, almsmen, exertion of preservation.”
Restraint and rejection and development and preservation,
these four exertions are taught by the Kinsman of the Sun
by which the here ardent almsman
ought to attain the passing away of suffering.

Nothing here for Today!!!
1. OBC creamy layer income limit raised to ₹8 lakh per annum
In news:
- The ‘creamy layer’ ceiling for OBC reservation has been raised to ₹8 lakh per year.
- These measures are part of the government’s efforts to ensure greater social justice and inclusion for members of the Other Backward Classes.
2. Chakma-Hajong issue still open
Background information:
- Chakmas and Hajongs were originally residents of the Chittagong Hill Tracts in erstwhile East Pakistan who left their homeland when it was submerged by the Kaptai dam project in the 1960s.
- The Chakmas, who are Buddhists, and Hajongs, who are Hindus, also allegedly faced religious persecution and entered India through the then Lushai Hills district of Assam (now Mizoram).
Government decision to grant citizenship:
- As per the Supreme Court’s order, the government would grant citizenship to over one lakh Chakma-Hajongs, Buddhists and Hindu refugees who came to India from the Chittagong Hill Area in undivided Pakistan in the 1960s.
- Middle path: the refugees will not be given rights, including land ownership, enjoyed by the Scheduled Tribes in Arunachal Pradesh.
- They may be given Inner Line permits required for non-local people in Arunachal Pradesh to travel and work.
Basic Information:
Inner Line Permit
- Inner Line Permit (ILP) is an official travel document issued by the Government of India to allow inward travel of an Indian citizen into a protected area for a limited period.
- It is obligatory for Indian citizens from outside those states to obtain a permit for entering into the protected state.
- The document is an effort by the government to regulate movement to certain areas located near the international border of India.
- There are different kinds of ILP’s, one for tourists and others for people who intend to stay for long-term periods, often for employment purposes.
- The states which require the permit are:
- Arunachal Pradesh — issued by the secretary (political) of the Government of Arunachal Pradesh. It is required for entering Arunachal Pradesh through any of the check gates across the interstate border with Assam or Nagaland.
- Mizoram — Issued by the Government of Mizoram. It is required for entering Mizoram through any of the check gates across the inter-State borders.
- Nagaland — Issued by the Government of Nagaland. It is mandatory for Indian citizens of other states entering Nagaland through any of the check gates across the interstate borders. Dimapur, Nagaland’s largest city and porthead, is the only place in the state which does not require an ILP, and Indians arriving by air at Dimapur Airport can arrive and stay in the city without one.
- Indian citizens also need a Nagaland-issued ILP if entering Manipur by road via Dimapur or Kohima. However, demands by the Government of Manipur for the introduction of the provision of an Inner Line Permit system to restrict entry of outsiders into the state were refused.
- An ILP was previously required for certain parts of the Leh district in Jammu and Kashmir.
- There are also ongoing demands for the introduction of ILP in Assam, Meghalaya and Manipur to regulate entry of outsiders into the state.
3. Maharashtra’s employment-linked scheme to increase mangrove cover
In news:
- Maharashtra state cabinet approved the Mangrove Protection and Employment Generation Scheme for 2017-18 and has made Rs 15 crore budgetary provision for it.
- This special scheme to preserve mangroves on public and private land and to provide employment opportunities — linked to mangrove cover — to people of the selected areas. The decision will help in protecting mangroves on around 30,000 hectares.
- Employment would be generated by setting up businesses such as crab farming, bee keeping, rice farming, fish farming and tourism. The businesses can be run through a committee or by an individual
- It will help in many people coming forward voluntarily for preserving mangroves.
- Committees would be set up in villages having mangrove cover to ensure group benefits by forming organisational structure.
The committee will also prepare a micro plan for mangrove preservation, protection, setting up protection fences and improving quality of mangroves.
4. We need to talk about rural distress
Context:
- Farmers are under siege — a policy upgrade is essential
- India’s agricultural policy has historically disincentivised the creation of a formal credit culture among farmers.
Exploitation during colonial rule:
- Tinkathia system:
- Farmers in Bihar’s Champaran district were forced to set aside 15% of their land to cultivate indigo under this system.
- The farmers were subjected to a variety of extortionist cesses, or abwabs.
Reality of Indian Farming:
- Marginal farming in India is a highly complex and decision-intensive process.
- Decisions to be made by farmers considering various facts:
- Choice of crops (annual or short term) and their time of tillage.
- Rising prices of agricultural inputs, availability of water, soil suitability and pest management.
- All these factors create a narrow window of economic benefit for the marginal farmer.
- Cautious approach need to be followed by the farmer because a wrong decision can wreak havoc.
Punjab University Study highlights the Debt levels among the farming community:
- Land holdings: average landholding size decreased from 2.3 ha in 1971 to 1.16 ha in 2011.
|
Land – Holdings |
Debt-to-income ratio |
|
§ Greater than 10 hectares |
§ 0.26 |
|
§ Medium: 4-10 ha and semi-medium: 2-4 ha |
§ 0.34 |
|
§ Small :1-2 ha and marginal(less than a hectare) |
§ 0.94 and 1.42 (greater debt burden) § Over 50% of their loans are from non- banking sector |
Key stats:
- Level of earnings:
- A farmer now typically earns ₹2,400 a month per hectare of paddy and about ₹2,600 a month per hectare of wheat.
- Farm labourers earn less than ₹5,000 a
- About 30.5 million left farming between 2004-05 and 2010-11, seeking employment in the secondary and tertiary sectors.
- In 2011, the Planning Commission estimated that the size of this agricultural workforce would shrink to less than 200 million by 2020.
- Farmer’s suicide: Farmer suicides have also grown primarily in States with limited irrigation and variable rainfall, comprising 87.5% of all farmer suicides in 2015. Over 3,21,428 farmers committed suicide in the last 20 years.
Institutional support:
- The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development: established in 1982, has sought to provide financing support for tube-well irrigation, farm mechanisation and other ancillary activities.
- 2004-05 Union Budget sought to double agricultural credit.
- In 2006, a 2% interest subvention was provided. Allowing farmers to avail of kisan credit card (KCC) loans at 7% per annum (up to ₹3 lakh)
- In 2011, the government provided a further 3% interest subvention for farmers making immediate payments on their KCC loans.
- Farm loan waivers politics:
- 1990: nationwide agriculture loan waiver.
- 2009: Another agricultural loan waiver was sanctioned, just before the Lok Sabha election.
- More recently, the Uttar Pradesh government’s farm loan waiver scheme has been replicated in Maharashtra, Punjab and Karnataka and estimated to total up to 0.5% of India’s GDP.
Loan waivers impacts:
- Deleterious impact on the provision of rural credit
- Breeds credit indiscipline among farmers and leads to a shortfall in rural credit growth.
- When the next election is likely to bring about another farm loan waiver, why would any farmer seek to pay off his loans early?
Way forward:
- Greater subsidies could be extended for the purchase of agricultural equipment, fertilizers and pesticides
- Expansion of medical insurance coverage through the Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna.
- The scope of the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act could be increased. Allowing marginal farmers to be paid for tilling their own fields could reduce their input costs.
- Need of the hour is a national conversation on rural distress.
5. Subnationalism not a threat
Context:
- India is witnessing the re-emergence of subnationalism as a political idea.
- The key issue of contention is regarding a separate State flag for Karnataka.
Politics in Karnataka:
- Karnataka is neither ruled by a regional party nor has shown any significant separatist or secessionist tendencies in the past.
- Karnataka has had an unofficial yellow-and-red flag for almost 50 years, the government is now considering adopting an official State flag.
- Protest against the imposition of Hindi, most notably on the signboards of Namma Metro stations in Bengaluru.
- Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah has strongly come out in support of the State flag and against the use of Hindi signboards in the Metro.
Accommodating multiple identities:
- The nationalist movement had furthered a pluralistic idea of India.
- The following key legislative moves ensured that Indian national identity is not homogeneous.
- States Reorganisation Act, 1956: green signal for formation of states based on linguistic criteria.
- The Official Languages Act of 1963 prevented the planned transition of India’s official language from English to Hindi. These key legislative moves ensured that Indian national identity is not homogeneous.
- India does not follow a classical majoritarian form of democracy.
- The first-past-the-post electoral system tends to favour ethnocultural majorities, but there are also certain group-based fundamental rights provided in the Constitution, such as in Articles 29 and 30.
- Part XXI of the Constitution has a set of special provisions for certain States and sub-State regions, while the Fifth and Sixth Schedules give special institutional measures for the administration of areas with high Scheduled Tribe populations.
- Consociational system:
- Providing for formal power-sharing arrangements between different social groups.
- Concept given by political scientist Arend Lijphart’s.
- India does not neatly fit here also.
- India may be classified as a “state-nation” which respects “multiple but complementary” sociocultural identities and provides constitutional mechanisms to accommodate political claims arising out of these identities as argued by Alfred Stepan, Juan Linz and Yogendra Yadav.
Furthering a plural democracy
- The accommodation of linguistic and cultural diversities does not merely help maintain the integrity of India’s national boundaries, but also promotes positive social outcomes.
- Prerna Singh’s work: “How Solidarity Works for Welfare”, has argued that subnationalism is positively linked to social development.
- Greater the level of subnational solidarity, higher will be the State’s commitment to social welfare.
- Kerala’s success is the most striking example.
- She contrasts Kerala and Tamil Nadu with Uttar Pradesh, a development laggard with little subnational solidarity, to argue her point.
Sub nationalism to be viewed as a constructive element:
- India’s pluralistic nationalism celebrates the coexistence of multiple identities.
- The assertion of subnational pride in States like Karnataka counters attempts at advancing the homogenising narrative of Hindi-Hindu-Hindustan.
- As long as subnationalism is not secessionist, or aimed at othering sections of the population, it should not be viewed as a threat, but rather as a constitutive element of India’s plural democracy.
Category: INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS/BILATERAL RELATIONS
1. Indo-Russian war games in Oct.
In news:
- The Indra Exercise: India and Russia have begun discussions to work out the modalities for their first tri-service military exercise to be held in October.
- Key fact: It will also be India’s first bilateral military exercise with any country involving all three services.
- Main objective: to carry out joint exercises for suppression of international terrorist activities under the United Nations mandate.
2. A push for cooperation in S&T and medical research
Context:
- Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s visit to India.
In news:
- Agreements signed: cooperation in science and technology, including research into stem-cells for making bone-marrow transplants more accessible.
- The Department of Biotechnology (DBT) already has an India-Japan cooperative programme that has Christian Medical College & Hospital, Vellore, and Kyoto University, Japan, as participants.
- The aim of the programme is to develop infrastructure and expertise for India to be a competitive force in regenerative medicine and induced pluripotent stem cell biology.
- The focus of the collaboration is on developing treatments for sickle-cell anaemia, Beta thalassemia and brain disorders, and creating a haplobank relevant to Indian populationssaid .
- What is a haplobank? – Haplobank refers to a specially maintained collection of embryonic cells that can, in theory, be directed to become any kind of cell and thus progenitor of replacement organs.
3. Open to talks on reopening Nathu La for Kailash pilgrims: China
Reopening of Nathu La
- China indicated that it is ready to continue communication with India over reopening Nathu La in Sikkim to facilitate the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage
- The route was closed in June following tension over the Doklam standoff.
- According to the agreement reached between the two leaders and based on the fact that the western section of the India-China boundary has been recognised by the two sides, China opened the pass to the Indian pilgrims.
- The Sikkim route to Mansarovar was opened in 2015.
Hydrological data
- In August, the Ministry of External Affairs had stated that India had not received hydrological data from China this year.
- Regarding sharing hydrological data with India on the Brahmaputra and Sutlej rivers, China said that it was not possible as data stations in Tibet were being upgraded.
- Under a bilateral mechanism established in 2006, China is expected to share hydrological data on the two rivers during the flood season between May 15 and June 15.
- China will start providing data again depending on the progress of the ongoing work.
- The hydrological data is used to anticipate the flow of water from the upper riparian states into India and Bangladesh and deal with flooding.
- China has been building major dams on the Brahmaputra river to generate hydel power. It operationalised Zangmu hydroelectric project in October 2015 and three more are under construction.
Context:
- Rise of China and uncertainty over America’s role in Asia has brought Japan and India closer
India-Japan
- Japan was the only nation extended public support to India during the Doklam confrontation with China
- In the aftermath of India’s nuclear tests, Tokyo was at the forefront of the international condemnation and the imposition of collective economic measures against Delhi.
- But now Japan has come closest to being India’s natural ally in Asia.
Factors that are threatening to unravel the post-war order in Asia.
- Rapid rise of China: Purposeful military modernisation over the last few decades has given Beijing levers to contest US military dominance over Asia.
- Growing uncertainty over America’s future role in Asia
Rising China
- Rising China has dethroned Japan as the number one economic power in Asia.
- China’s GDP is now five times larger than that of India.
- Beijing outspends Delhi and Tokyo on defence by more than four times. According to the London-based International Institute of Strategic Studies, China’s defence budget ($216 billion) is more than twice that of India ($56 billion) and Japan ($46 billion) put together
Uncertainty over America’s role in Asia
- President Donald Trump is challenging the two foundations of America’s post-war primacy
in Asia —
- The willingness to act as the market for Asian goods
- Defending its allies in the region, including Japan.
- As they cope with China’s assertiveness, India and Japan also worry about the consequences of a potential American retrenchment or a deliberate decision in Washington to cede more space to Beijing in Asia.
- Delhi and Tokyo also need to insure against wild oscillations in US policy. One way of doing that is to move towards a genuine alliance between India and Japan.
Alliance between India and Japan
- It can neither replace the American might nor contain China.
- As Beijing’s neighbours, they have a big stake in a cooperative relationship with Beijing and also a strong incentive to temper some of China’s unilateralism through a regional balance of power system
- The cooperation between India-Japan is increasing through civil nuclear agreement, high speed railway development, and modernisation of transport infrastructure in the Northeast.
- Tokyo and Delhi have expanded their maritime security cooperation, agreed to work together in promoting connectivity and infrastructure in third countries in India’s neighbourhood.
Defence partnership?
- Without a significant defence relationship, the talk of an alliance between India and Japan remains meaningless.
- Although military exchanges expanded over the last few years, the two sides are far from a credible defence partnership that can shape the regional security architecture in the coming decades.
- That negotiations on India’s purchase of Japanese amphibious aircraft, US-2i, have been stuck for years underlines part of the problem.
- It is necessary to overcome the bureaucratic inertia that limits the defence possibilities between India and Japan.
1. Corporate debt, a drag on economy
Context:
- Corporate debt and its impact on Indian Economy.
In news:
Thomson Reuters data highlights:
- Study based on the latest annual earnings report
- India’s corporate debt rose to a seven-year high at the end of March.
- More than a fifth of large companies did not earn enough to pay interest on their loans and the pace of new loans fell to the lowest in more than six decades.
- The Indian government reported that annual GDP growth in the quarter ended June dropped to 5.7. It was blamed on attempts by the government to flush out money hidden from the tax man, which caused a cash crunch, and the introduction of a general sales tax (GST), which prompted businesses and consumers to hit the pause button.
- Key Stats:
- Net debt for 288 companies with a market capitalisation of more than $500 million, covering most big firms in India, has hit at least a seven-year high of ₹18 trillion ($281 billion).
- Soured debt was 12% of total loans held by lenders at the end of March.
- More than a fifth of 513 Indian companies had interest cover of less than 1%.
- Gross capital formation, a gauge of private investment, fell to less than 30% of GDP in the June quarter, from 31% a year earlier and 38% a decade ago.
Basic Information:
- Sour debt: Non-performing loan on which interest is overdue and full collection of principal is uncertain. According to typical banking regulations, if interest has not been paid for 90 days the loan is put on a cash basis. Thus, its interest cannot be credited to the bank’s revenue account until it has actually been received. Loans which have adequate collateral (such as home mortgages), and some types of consumer loans, are generally exempt from this requirement. Also called doubtful loan, sour loan, troubled loan.
- Capital formation is a term used to describe the net capital accumulation during an accounting period for a particular country, and the term refers to additions of capital stock, such as equipment, tools, transportation assets and electricity. Countries need capital goods to replace the current assets that are used to produce goods and services, and if a country cannot replace capital goods, production declines. Generally, the higher the capital formation of an economy, the faster an economy can grow its aggregate income.
- Market Capitalization: the value of a company that is traded on the stock market, calculated by multiplying the total number of shares by the present share price.
2. Slow creep
Context:
- Daily pricing of petrol and diesel policy
- Since the introduction of daily pricing of petrol, the price of petrol in Delhi has cumulatively increased by almost ₹
Reason for implementation:
- To ensure the benefit of lower international crude oil prices is passed on to domestic consumers.
- Real picture: comparison of crude oil prices with domestic petrol and diesel prices, suggests that this argument is far from convincing.
- In 2012, barrel of crude: $120, a litre of petrol: ₹65 in retail fuel stations.
- Today, crude basket price has dropped to around $50, the retail price of petrol is well over the ₹70 mark.
Earlier practice:
- 2010-2014:
- Deregulation of petrol and diesel pricing.
- Fuel prices to be determined primarily by the forces of supply and demand.
Reasons for the current price mismatching:
- Heavy taxes imposed on domestic fuels.
- Excise duty and value added tax are the main culprits.
- True fact: About half the price paid by the Indian end-consumer for petrol goes towards paying these taxes.
- The government’s excise duty collection, for instance, has more than doubled during the period 2014-17, from ₹99,184 crore to ₹2,42,691 crore. This suggests quite clearly that the government, not the consumer, has been the biggest beneficiary of lower crude oil prices since 2014.
Can GST be the possible solution?
- Alternative tax such as the goods and services tax (GST), even at its highest slab of 28%, would substantially lower the current tax burden on fuels.
- Apart from making petrol and diesel more affordable to many more people in the lower rungs of the economy, it will also decrease the economic distortions caused by extraordinarily high taxes imposed on automobile fuels that are widely used.
Way forward
Along with lower taxes, greater competition in the fuel retailing market will allow further cost efficiencies to kick in and lead to lower prices for consumers.
3. Petrol, diesel should come under GST, says Pradhan
Context:
- Daily revision in petrol and diesel prices.
- ₹3 per litre spike since July
In news:
- Many States have drastically increased value-added tax.
- GST Council should consider bringing the petroleum products in the ambit of GST.
- Key Fact:
- India relies on imports to meet 80% of its needs and so domestic fuel rates have been aligned to the movement of equivalent product prices in the international market since April 2002.
- Previously, the rates were changed every fortnight but since June 16 they are being revised daily.
4. Workers to get unique number
In news:
New Labor reforms on the anvil: Every worker in the unorganised and organised sector will get a unique identification number that will make it easier for them to get benefits under different social schemes.
5. ‘India needs data safety reforms’
In news:
- United Nations’ Resident Coordinator in India Yuri Afanasiev said :India needs regulatory reforms to protect people against fraud and misuse of data by unscrupulous elements.
- Current protocols for encrypted data transfer, from money to medical records, to be shared between many companies, people and institutions have raised questions on how this data will be stored and accessed.

His name was Ned and he was a cad and a rascal. Given half a chance, he would rip a bodice while flashing his wolfish teeth. Ned had not got the hang of correct bodice-ripping, however, for he failed to understand that the bodices he ripped were meant to have fey damsels inside them. Ned simply headed for the nearest bodice warehouse, jemmied the lock, and, once inside, ripped all the bodices stored there by whichever needleworkers had made them. This made Ned hugely unpopular with the bodice-makers, and they ran him out of town.
So Ned found himself sat on a stone in the middle of a field, all rustic and rural. Here there seemed little opportunity for him to be caddish or rascally. There was not a bodice in sight, only some cows and a few hens and a pigsty down the way. Ned was disconsolate.
What he needed was a picaresque adventure. But such rollicking antics were not to be found in Tantarabim in days of yore, so Ned shredded cabbage instead. Whether or not you are fond of coleslaw, you have Ned to thank for its presence on your plate, or in your bowl, next to the cold mashed potatoes and the jumbo size sausages, as you sit in the canteen of your 26th century spaceship hurtling towards the weirdly crumpled planet where your destiny awaits.

This section provides really simple examples. In other words, only the basics of the formatting are shown, but with the aim of getting a first impression.
This example shows an index–based formatting with system types.
Template.Format("text {1} text {0} text {2}", 111, "ABC", 333.33);
The result would look like "text ABC text 111 text 333.33".
This example shows the same as above but with one missing argument.
Template.Format("text {1} text {0} text {2}", 111, "ABC");
The result would look like "text ABC text 111 text {2}". Please note, in such a case the whole formatting instruction is inserted instead of some value. See section Fallback Usage for an example of how to avoid this.
This example shows a special feature, an index–based formatting with system types and an inline argument array.
Template.Format("text {1} text {0} text {2} text {3} text {2}", "ABC", new[] { 111, 222, 333 });
The result would look like "text 111 text ABC text 222 text 333 text 222".
This example shows an index–based formatting with system types as well as with stringification. In other words, the operator '$' is used together with argument indices.
Template.Format("text {$1} text {$0} text {$2}", 111, "ABC", 333.33);
The result would look like "text ABC text 111 text 333.33". For sure, stringification does not really make sense for system types. But it is interesting for complex data types, because of any formatting is skipped and ToString() is called instead.
This example shows an index–based formatting with system types as well as with serialization. In other words, the operator '@' is used together with argument indices.
Template.Format("text {@1} text {@0} text {@2}", 111, "ABC", 333.33);
The result would look like "text ABC text 111 text 333.33". For sure, serialization does not really make sense for system types. But it is interesting for complex data types, because of any formatting is skipped and the serializer (custom or build–in) is called instead.
This example shows a label–based formatting with system types.
Template.Format("text {ValA} text {ValB} text {ValC}", 111, "ABC", 333.33);
The result would look like "text 111 text ABC text 333.33". This is pretty much the same result as for its index–based counterpart except that the argument order is different. Keep in mind, label–based formatting always resolves the arguments from left to right.
This example shows the same as above but with one missing argument.

by Sara Lindberg- Freshly expressed breast milk can sit out at room temperature for 4 hours.
- You can store breast milk in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for 6 to 12 months.

- Visit Insider’s homepage for more stories.
Being hooked up to a breast pump is a reality for many new moms. But like any other milk in the fridge, your breast milk can, and will, go bad.
To maximize safety and freshness, here’s what you need to know about using and storing pumped breast milk.
Breast milk can sit out at room temperature for up to 4 hours
Doctors agree that it’s best if you store breast milk within 4 hours of expressing. Especially if the room is hotter than 77 degrees Fahrenheit because bacteria in the milk will cause it to go bad faster at warmer temperatures.
If your baby did not finish a bottle of breast milk, you can leave it on the countertop at room temperature and reuse it within 2 hours. The time that you can let used breast milk sit out is shorter than for freshly expressed milk because the baby’s mouth introduces new bacteria into the milk, which may cause it to go bad sooner.
Use refrigerated breast milk within a week of storage
The CDC recommends storing freshly-expressed breast milk in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
When storing in the refrigerator, Dr. Syeda Amna Husain, MD, a pediatrician at Pure Direct Pediatrics, tells Insider you should place breast milk in the back of the fridge, not the door. That’s because, compared to the door, which you’re always exposing to room temperature, the back of the fridge stays cooler. Double-check and make sure the temperature in your fridge is 39 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
When you’re ready to use it, place the bag or container in a pot of warm water or run it under warm water for a few minutes. You can also feed your baby cold breast milk right from the fridge, but if your baby is used to nursing from your breast they may prefer warm milk. Just always remember to use the oldest milk first.
For extended use, store breast milk in the freezer
Whether you’re creating a stash for later or you have a surplus of breast milk, you can safely store it in the freezer for 6 to 12 months, though the shorter time it spends there, the better.
One small 2012 study, published in the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine, reported that, after 3 months of storage, breast milk samples had fewer calories and less fat compared to fresh milk.
As with the fridge, you should store your milk in the back of the freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit or colder. And the colder, the better. The same 2012 study reported that fat and caloric content in milk decreased if the milk was stored at temperatures above -4 degrees Fahrenheit.
When you’re ready to thaw the milk, take the oldest milk out of the freezer first and place it in the back of the refrigerator. Do not place it on the counter to thaw at room temperature, because this can give bacteria a chance to grow and spoil the milk before it’s completely thawed.
Once thawed in the refrigerator, use the milk within 24 hours. After you take thawed milk out of the fridge and leave it at room temperature, use it within 2 hours.
Never refreeze breast milk after it has been thawed.
The rule of fours
If you’re worried that you’ll forget these dates and time frames, consider using the rule of fours. “Four hours at room temperature, four days in the fridge,” says Husain.
Husain also suggests that, if you plan on storing your milk, you should label it with the date and time you pumped it before placing it in the fridge or freezer.
How to tell if breast milk is bad
No matter how careful you are, sometimes your breast milk may still go bad before you use it. You can tell it’s bad if it smells or tastes sour – similar to cow’s milk when it spoils.
But don’t mistake thawed milk for bad milk. Sometimes, thawed breast milk will have a different smell, often a soapy smell, or consistency than fresh milk. As long as you’ve followed the storage and thawing guidelines, the milk should be safe to use.
The best way to preserve breast milk
After pumping, place breast milk in storage bags made specifically for breast milk or clean food-grade containers with tight-fitting lids.
For the milk you plan on using within 4 days, date it, and place in the back of the refrigerator. Otherwise, freeze it right away. To avoid wasting milk, freeze 2 to 4 ounces in each bag or container.

Sweet and Lowdown
95 minutes Sony Pictures Classics starring Sean Penn, Samantha Morton, Uma Thurman, Brian Markinson, Anthony LaPaglia, Gretchen Mol, Vincent Guastafero, John Waters, James Urbaniak
written and directed by Woody Allen
Few filmmakers have the courage and honesty to openly portray their psyche, flawed as it may be, in their films. Woody Allen, among other things, is one of these filmmakers. In each one of his brilliant character studies, there is more than a bit of self-deprecation; never too subtle to recognize.
And watching `Sweet And Lowdown', his wonderful new film, it's not hard to see why subtlety isn't his main priority. What makes his films so entertaining is that he is the poster-boy for modern American, middle-aged (and dare I say Jewish) neurosis, and not the least bit ashamed of it. `Sweet And Lowdown', Allen's 32nd feature film, is highly enjoyable, funny and unpredictable.
It is his first movie which characterizes his well-publicized infatuation with jazz music.
In the film, Woody's alter ego is Emmet Ray (Sean Penn); `the second greatest guitarist in the world,' and quite proud of it. Emmet's story is told `mockumentary' style; narrated by Woody Allen and other noted jazz aficionados. He is a fine musician, but a flawed character; one so self-involved that his only companionship is found in a mute woman named Hattie (Samantha Morton, in a dazzling performance), who listens but never retorts.
This amusing relationship makes up the core of the film, and it works very well thanks in part to Sean Penn's over-the-top antics. But it is Samantha Morton, who has appeared in a few British productions, who steals the show with her silent vulnerability. She utters not a single line, yet she is a shoo-in (at least in my book) for a handful of awards.
`Sweet And Lowdown' is otherwise an entertaining series of occurrences in Emmet Ray's lifetime, which includes living out his favorite pastime (shooting rats at a garbage dump), and a chance meeting with Django Reinhardt (the greatest guitarist in the world, according to Emmet). The film's light tone is more like `Radio Days' than `Crimes And Misdemeanors'.
Many will say that `Sweet And Lowdown' is too slight to be a comic triumph, but I enjoyed every minute, which was probably the filmmakers' intention. The superb supporting cast includes Uma Thurman, Anthony LaPaglia, Gretchen Mol and James Urbaniak (from `Henry Fool', which was indeed a comic triumph), all of whom shine in small roles.
Woody Allen is back at peak form, doing what he does best without offending anybody. With so many `edgy' films being made as a new wave of filmmaking approaches, it's nice to see that some still `make ‘em like they used to.'
It's also interesting to point out that Woody Allen may be the hardest working artist in film today. I'd be hard-pressed to name another who puts out a film every year. But Woody does it, and he does it well. What makes Allen one of the most talented filmmakers of the century is that he realizes, as others should, that true inspiration can only be found within oneself.

Prisons march as Kagera eye TPL top spot
by Yohana ChalleIn Summary
Kagera Sugar will be seeking to wrest the top spot from Simba when they face Mtibwa Sugar at the Kaitaba Stadium in Bukoba today
Dar es Salaam. A 25th minute goal by Tanzania Prisons striker Adilly Buha condemned Singida United to a 1-0 defeat in the Mainland Premier League match yesterday.
The victory means Prisons now sit third in the league with 20 points.
Namungo FC also squeezed a 1-0 home win against Police Tanzania, while Ndanda lost to Coastal Union.
The league continues today when Kagera Sugar face Mtibwa Sugar at the Kaitaba Stadium in Bukoba, Kagera.
A victory for Kagera Sugar would seem them leapfrog pace-setters Simba, who are not in action today.
Kagera now sit second in the 20-team league with 23 points from 11 matches, two points behind Simba.

The Msimbazi Reds have so far played 10 matches.
Mtibwa Sugar are placed eighth with 16 points from 12 matches.
The Morogoro-based side will move four steps up the ladder and replace Lipuli FC of Iringa should they beat Kagera.
Fourth-placed Lipuli have 18 points.

Downton Abbey creator reveals reason he gave Mr Carson a tremor
Julian Fellowes suffers from an essential tremor, a nerve disorder characterised by uncontrollable shaking.
Julian Fellowes has said that he gave Mr Carson a tremor in the final episode of Downton Abbey in an attempt to dispel myths surrounding the condition.
The screenwriter, best known for his work on Downton Abbey and Belgravia, lives with an essential tremor, a nerve disorder characterised by uncontrollable shaking.
Fellowes said he wrote the scene, in which Mr Carson, played by Jim Carter, struggles to pour a bottle of wine, because he wanted to “get it out there”.
But he said many people missed the point and assumed Mr Carson was suffering from Parkinson’s disease.
Appearing on ITV’s Lorraine on Thursday to discuss living with the condition, Fellowes said: “It is a question of getting it out there.
“That’s why on Downton in the last episode of the final series we gave Carson an essential tremor, so he couldn’t pour the wine.
“Even then the newspapers referred to it as Parkinson’s because they didn’t know it was a tremor.”
He said he wanted to raise awareness of the condition to avoid the public confusing the two.
“Nobody talks about it but also nobody’s ever heard of it,” he added.
“It’s called an essential tremor and as you can see my hands are shaking.
“It gets better and worse, worse in the morning. Actually it’s better when you’ve had a drink which is an interesting detail.”
He urged people suffering from a tremor to visit the doctor, adding that he had been prescribed pills which worked for half those with the condition, although they did not for him.
He said: “What I’m anxious to do is get it out there.
“So when people have a shake that is unexplained to them and they’re possibly panicking that it’s Parkinson’s, I would just say to them please go to the doctor.
“The truth is you are eight times more likely to be suffering from an essential tremor than Parkinson’s.
 It doesn’t hurt. It’s a nuisance. It’s tiresome. But there are plenty of things that are worse in the world that people have to put up with.”
Fellowes admitted that at the start he was “in denial” and blamed his shaking on a lack of sleep and too much coffee.
He said he became more open about his diagnosis after his wife Emma warned that people would think he was “either drunk of terrified”.
Fellowes also addressed whether there would be a sequel to the Downton Abbey film, saying: “I’ll do me best, gov”.

Would it possible to add the radar button in the friends list?
I recently had an issue with player and some of his friends, actually I've had a long standing running issue with them, and wanted to "radar" everyone in this person's friends list but I of course had to go to each profile one at a time to get the radar button.
I was thinking something like this

This article discusses how mobile applications can use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to send e-mail without additional infrastructure. The sample code presented here uses Amazon Simple Email Service to record feedback from users but this same method could be used in the following scenarios:
This article shows sample code for both the iOS and Android platforms. The complete sample code and project files are included in the AWS SDKs for these mobile platforms. Links to the SDKs are available at the end of this article.
To use the AWS SDK for iOS or the AWS SDK for Android, you will need AWS credentials, that is, an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key. If you haven't already signed up for Amazon Web Services, you will need to do that first to get your credentials. You can sign up for AWS here. After you sign up, you can retrieve your credentials at this page.
The sample application described here demonstrates how mobile applications can record feedback from their users through Amazon SES. It requires that you already have a verified email address; this address will be used as both the sender and recipient of the message, so it is not necessary to get production access to Amazon SES before using this sample application. You can verify an email address on the AWS console and read more about verification and production access in the Amazon SES Getting Started Guide. Amazon SES can also be used to create other types of emails not shown here.
Making requests to Amazon SES requires creating a client for the service. The code below shows how to create a client on both the iOS and Android platforms.
AmazonSESClient sesClient = [[AmazonSESClient alloc] initWithAccessKey:ACCESS_KEY_ID withSecretKey:SECRET_KEY]; |
AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials( PropertyLoader.getInstance().getAccessKey(), PropertyLoader.getInstance().getSecretKey() ); AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient sesClient = new AmazonSimpleEmailServiceClient( credentials ); |
SES will accept both regular and raw emails. Our application makes use of the regular method, meaning we do not have to construct our own headers. Regular emails require a source, destination (list of to, cc, and bcc addresses) and a message, which itself comprises a body and subject. The code below shows how to create the various parts of the email on both the iOS and Android platforms.
SESContent *messageBody = [[[SESContent alloc] init] autorelease]; messageBody.data = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Rating: %d\nComments:\n%@", rating.selectedSegmentIndex+1, commentsField.text]; SESContent *subject = [[[SESContent alloc] init] autorelease]; subject.data = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"Feedback from %@", nameField.text]; SESBody *body = [[[SESBody alloc] init] autorelease]; body.text = messageBody; SESMessage *message = [[[SESMessage alloc] init] autorelease]; message.subject = subject; message.body = body; SESDestination *destination = [[[SESDestination alloc] init] autorelease]; [destination.toAddresses addObject:VERIFIED_EMAIL]; |
String subjectText = "Feedback from " + nameField.getText(); Content subjectContent = new Content(subjectText); String bodyText = "Rating: " + ratingBar.getRating() + "\nComments\n" + commentsField.getText(); Body messageBody = new Body(new Content(bodyText)); Message feedbackMessage = new Message(subjectContent,messageBody); String email = PropertyLoader.getInstance().getVerifiedEmail(); Destination destination = new Destination().withToAddresses(email); |
Once we've constructed our email components, it simply
becomes a matter of creating a SendEmailRequest
and
passing this to the SES client we created earlier. The code below
shows how to create a SendEmailRequest
and send it with
Amazon SES on both the iOS and Android platforms.
SESSendEmailRequest *ser = [[[SESSendEmailRequest alloc] init] autorelease]; ser.source = VERIFIED_EMAIL; ser.destination = destination; ser.message = message; SESSendEmailResponse response = [[AmazonClientManager ses] sendEmail:ser]; |
SendEmailRequest request = new SendEmailRequest(email,destination,feedbackMessage); SendEmailResult result = clientManager.ses().sendEmail(request); |
A sample application that includes this code is provided with both mobile SDKs. The download links can be found on the following pages:

Jeremiah 3:24
For shame hath devoured the labour of our fathers from our youth; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.


IntelliJ Coding Guidelines
If you are writing code that you would like to contribute to the IntelliJ Platform (either as a patch or as a plugin), following these guidelines will make it easier for the JetBrains development team to review and accept your changes.
Following the Latest Source Code
If you submit patches, we strongly recommend building your patches against the latest version of the code from the Git repository. The easiest way to do so is to clone the JetBrains Git repository, track your work in Git, and create patches using the “git format-patch” command.
General Architectural Principles
Please do your best to follow common Java architectural principles. “Effective Java” by Joshua Bloch is a good place to start.
Tests
Most of the existing functionality of IntelliJ IDEA is covered by functional tests. If the area you’re modifying is covered by tests, you must run the tests and make sure that your changes do not introduce any new test failures. It’s also strongly recommended that you provide new functional tests that cover the bugs you fix or the new features that you add.
Code Formatting
We’re generally pretty lax about code formatting, but at least the following conventions must be observed:
- 2 space indents in source files
- my prefix for instance variables and our prefix for class variables
- new source code files must include a copyright statement with the Apache 2 license and the name of the contributor.
The easiest way to follow our code formatting guidelines is to reformat your code submissions using the shared code style, which is included in the IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition project directory.
Inspections
The IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition project includes a shared inspection profile. We strongly recommend making sure that the code you submit does not contain any warnings highlighted by the inspections configured in that inspection profile.
JavaDoc Comments
If your code adds new OpenAPI interfaces, classes, methods or extension points, you must provide JavaDoc comments describing the parameters and intended usage of the APIs. Providing JavaDoc or other comments for other parts of the code is a good idea but isn’t required.
Commits
To avoid unnecessary work when reviewing your changes, please follow these guidelines:
- Look through all of your changes in your patch or pull request before you submit it to us. Make sure that everything you’ve changed is there for a reason.
- Please don’t include unfinished work to the patch. Make sure that it doesn’t include any TODO comments. If you added some code and ended up not needing it, please make sure that you delete it before you submit your patch.
- Please don’t include any changes that affect formatting, fixing “yellow code” (warnings) or code style along with actual changes that fix a bug or implement a feature. No one likes to leave poor code, but remember that having these changes mixed with each other complicates the process of review.
- Please don’t fix multiple problems within a single patch or pull request.
- Please don’t commit your personal changes to configuration files (runConfigurations/IDEA.xml, codeStyleSettings.xml, misc.xml, etc.) unless it is essential for the fix itself.
- Please avoid moving or renaming classes unless it is necessary for the fix.
The ideal pull request would contain 1 commit with everything needed to fix the bug or implement a feature, but nothing else. “Commit early, commit often” perfectly applies only to local commits, but such “public commits” are hard to review (the reviewer needs either to go commit by commit spending more time to review work-in-progress, or to review all changes at once thus losing valuable information stored in commit messages).
The best would be to commit early, but then to squash all commits into one with a descriptive commit message.
Sometimes several commits for a single issue are also acceptable, but each of these need to be self-contained “steps” to solve the problem.

You may be wondering if I’m talking about the book or the HBO series. Well, I read the book first, so the TV show paled in comparison, as is usually the case. I was optimistic at first, mostly because of the glowing reviews and comparisons to Lord of the Rings. Peter Jackson undoubtedly won the hearts of purists and lovingly captured the spirit of the books. Unfortunately, the Game of Thrones TV series falls short of this benchmark. It’s not terrible, but not awesome either, the way LOTR inspired awe.
The screenwriters obviously took great delight in exaggerating and extrapolating on certain scenes and themes in the novel. It seems like there is some sort of mandate at HBO to maximize on vulgarity and shock value. I’m sure some people get a kick out of this, but if you’ve read the book first, it all seems so unnecessary.
As for the book, I can only say that it’s rooted in political intrigue without being mired down in politics. The characters are well fleshed out, but nothing genre-bending. I like long epic stories with many interwoven plot lines, and this exactly is what you get here. Perhaps my only real complaint is that the few brief battle scenes are often told through second-hand accounts instead of diving first-hand into the action.
I’ve just finished reading Clash of Kings as well, and there is a lot to enjoy so far in the Song of Ice and Fire series. I can’t say I’m looking forward to a mangling of this excellent second book on TV though. Not that I won’t watch it anyway.


The Devil at Your Heels (1981) 102m.
You might think this documentary is a put-on after the first ten minutes - the kind of thing stunt-comedian 'Super Dave' Osborne might come up with - but it's further endorsement that truth is stranger (and funnier) than fiction. Star of the show is 'Mad Canadian' daredevil Ken Carter, whose speciality is jumping cars. His dream is to go one better than Evel Knievel's famous leap over the Snake River Canyon and build a ramp and car that will enable him to jump the St Lawrence seaway from the USA into Canada. He should have just used the Ambassador Bridge. The events that we watch unfold become a comedy of errors on a scale so monumental it practically lobbies for a renaming of Murphy's Law in honor of Carter.
The pitfalls Carter experiences are best left undisclosed here, but his quest is a captivating story. A great cast of 'supporting characters' drift in and out of the film, all promoters or stunt performers (including Knievel himself) with their own opinions of Carter and his harebrained stunt. Taking central place among them is Carter himself, congenial all the while (compare him with fellow stuntman Ken Powers near the film's end) and maintaining an optimistic perspective while he suffers one setback after another.  Born to hustle, he shares with his adrenaline-hooked buddies an unfortunate tendency to deliver one clumsy aphorism or mixed metaphor after another - even his last words are a misattribution of a Crosby, Stills and Nash song - but at least this proves that Carter is the kind of everyman that we could easily root for.
The preparations for the costly stunt stretch out to months, then years. Like Carter, we too never know what is around the corner, and become just as frustrated as the players in the film who keep waiting for something to happen. Film-maker Robert Fortier wrings every last drop of expectation out of us, serving up one false alarm after another (the use of music is very effective) until the tension in the film's final reels is unbearable. Guaranteed to produce laughs and gasps from the audience, there's no reason why this obscure gem shouldn't become a regular on the festival circuit. Don't even try to guess the real-life twist ending!
