Often the hype about a political event is in inverse proportion to the drama of what actually comes to pass. Maybe not this time.
Cabinet ministers will today meet at Chequers with the aim of approving the prime minister's blueprint for the UK's future relationship with the EU after Brexit.
But Brexiteer ministers have warned that the 120-page plan as written is flawed. They were discussing late on Thursday how to respond during the cabinet meeting tomorrow.
And to say that they are a bit miffed with the plan, which they only received in its entirety on Thursday afternoon, is an understatement. There is plenty in there that they don't like, and it's easy to see why.
The paper also suggests that, while trade deals with other countries like the US would be possible, they might be harder to do because under rules agreed with the EU, it would be harder to meet other countries' "asks".
One cabinet minister also expressed unhappiness with the proposed customs model – the facilitated customs arrangement – saying that it was like "customs partnership minus" – simply a revision of the customs partnership model that was rejected by the inner Brexit cabinet committee weeks ago.
One senior Tory suggested that "the party wouldn't wear it". A senior Brexiteer minister said that a lot of the document was "problematic", and that there was a "lot of scope for argument".
Essentially, for those who want a dramatic break with the EU, it falls far short, even though Number 10 insists it is merely an evolution of what the prime minister has already promised.
Frankly, from what we have heard, language is doing a lot of the heavy lifting, with much of it "opaque".
It does sketch out a relationship with the EU that is much tighter than Brexiteers had argued for. Would it really be Brexit? Number 10 would say yes, Jacob Rees Mogg would say no.
For the rest of us? That depends what you think the country voted for.
Tension around the meeting is high, with ministers being instructed in an email that they will have to hand in their phones and Apple watches on arrival at Chequers.
Brexiteer ministers shared concerns at a meeting in the foreign secretary's office on Thursday night over the plan, with a source saying "it's not going to fly".
They said that they will "simply reject it if she tries formally to impose it". But another Brexiteer source said they would have to "talk it out" before coming to any conclusions about the plan.
But a cabinet minister who has been pushing for a tight relationship with the EU told the BBC that while the plan was "fiendishly complicated… no one had a better idea".
A former cabinet minister who advocates closer ties to the EU told the BBC that they had urged the prime minister to consider sacking Brexiteers who refuse to sign up.
They suggested that "blood on the carpet" might not be a bad thing. They said they believed the prime minister "has had enough steel put in her spine" to be able to command ministers to back her plan or carry out a reshuffle.
There is however concern in the City, too, over the suggestion of giving up the prospect of a close deal on services to guarantee an end to free movement. One insider suggested that Chancellor Philip Hammond may try to "wedge" services back into the draft agreement on Friday.
Sources on all sides of the argument suggest that it is too early to tell how the talks tomorrow will end. There are demands for "significant redrafting". The discussions start at around 10:00 BST and are expected to wrap up at about 22:00 BST.
Insiders also suggest that with the EU likely to reject much of the plan, the real debate will focus on what to do if and when Brussels says no, with Brexiteers pushing a "Canada plus" model.
Another cabinet minister told the BBC that even though the EU was unlikely to accept it straight off, the point of this week's talks was not to find a final agreement, but simply to "start a conversation" with Brussels so that vital talks on the future relationship can get going.
Until now, the negotiations have focused on the withdrawal agreement – the divorce deal – with no formal engagements over the long-term arrangements. An outline of the political agreement on that deal is supposed to be in place by October.
To have any hope of a genuine and substantial deal by the autumn, the prime minister needs Brussels to take her, and her approach, seriously. If she fails to get agreement, her ability to project the authority that's needed for that to happen will be seriously put into question.
But if she pushes ahead with the plan she will have to face down a powerful and vocal wing in her party.
Some of her colleagues might heave a huge sigh of relief, and think, "about time too". But her party, and the rest of us, have no way of knowing tonight if that decision – which would risk her leadership – is one she is really willing to take.

DISA's industry invitation
The Defense Information Systems Agency's (DISA's) present and future industry partners joined the agency for Forecast to Industry on November 5 at the BWI Airport Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Linthicum, Maryland.
The event provided industry representatives with in-depth information about the agency's upcoming acquisition and procurement plans, and also offered a forum to collaborate with DISA in defense of the nation.
The theme for this year's event, "Trusted Partnerships," paralleled DISA Director Navy Vice Admiral Nancy Norton's strategic vision for DISA: To be the trusted provider to connect and protect the warfighter in cyberspace. Norton stressed to industry partners the importance of an integrated relationship during her opening remarks.
"As the old saying goes, there is strength in numbers," she said, reflecting on a recent speech by Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis.
She continued, "When nations pool resources and share responsibility, their burdens become lighter. It also gives the U.S. a better chance to advance its interests and maintain a balance of power that will keep enemies from thinking twice about aggression. The stability that comes from alliances and partnerships can also generate much-needed economic growth."
Norton then presented a scenario fitting for the event. "What if we replace 'nations' with 'DISA and industry partners?' Let me read that again: When DISA and industry partners pool resources and share responsibility, their burdens become lighter … and ... the stability that comes from those partnerships can generate much needed economic growth."
She described DISA's role in defending national interests and acknowledged it takes a team effort to maximize the effect.
"Our theme, 'Trusted Partnerships,' embodies the way we work closely with industry — to develop solutions for the DOD. Only by working together can we expand our capabilities and support to those protecting our great nation."
The admiral continued her opening remarks by highlighting how the agency executes the defense secretary's lines of effort.
She talked about how the agency is increasing lethality for the warfighter, strengthening partnerships, and reforming the department.
"As a combat support agency for the department, DISA is uniquely positioned to take on major tasks and initiatives to connect and protect the warfighter in cyberspace," she said. "Be our partner … we can achieve great things together."
Norton highlighted a handful of initiatives the agency is working on, and her remarks were followed by detailed briefings from subject matter experts later in the day.
She closed her remarks to the approximately 2,000 in-person and online attendees by reminding industry partners the agency is open to collaboration, and she welcomed them to the conversation.
"Creating trusted partnerships supports DISA's vision to be the trusted provider to connect and protect the warfighter in cyberspace," she said. "I want you to share that vision and our values — to ensure success in defense of our nation.
"We look forward to hearing from you and gaining a better understanding of how you can support us with our future requirements. Thank you again for being here today and continuing to partner with DISA."
Department of Defense Chief Information Officer (CIO) Dana Deasy followed Norton's opening remarks, and also emphasized the importance of DoD's synchronized partnership with industry.
"The annual Forecast to Industry event is incredibly important for the Defense Department," Deasy said. "Ongoing dialogue with our industry partners is needed in order for us to continue to maintain superiority."
Deasy explained how DISA's portfolio is expanding to meet 21st Century challenges, highlighting two mobile apps used in support of Hurricane Florence emergency management and recovery efforts.
At the Army's request, DISA expedited security review and release of the "Ready North Carolina" app within the DoD Mobility Unclassified Capability (DMUC) app store.
DISA and the South Carolina National Guard also worked together to create an app used by guardsmen to determine if their homes were in an evacuation zone.
The app provided ease of mind to the emergency workers because they knew their families could access updated information and were able to find a safe place for evacuation, Deasy explained.
"Both of these apps allowed aid workers to focus on supporting community rescue efforts. I think it goes without saying that DISA brings a wealth of capabilities in times of national crisis."
Deasy continued his remarks to industry by reiterating the defense secretary's three lines of effort and said every mission in DISA's portfolio ties back to those objectives.
He also said the agency is inherently tied to industry in this undertaking.
"The challenges we face at DoD will continue to evolve, but when I look across the room today, I know the department does not face these challenges alone," Deasy said.
"As I have said before today, our industry partners are key to the long-term success at DOD. In order to compete, deter, and win, we need your help," he said. "What I like to tell industry is to bring us solutions in the lens of our priorities. How will your solution benefit the greater National Defense Strategy? That is what we are all working toward together."
DISA's Executive Deputy Director Tony Montemarano then gave attendees a DISA overview presentation.
"DISA supports an ecosystem from Kabul to Seoul, South Korea," he said. "We provide enterprise services, unified capabilities, and mobility options to support DOD operations anywhere, anytime."
He presented DISA's leadership hierarchy, and talked about how the agency provides niche services that support combatant commands and the warfighter, including joint interoperability testing, electromagnetic spectrum management, communications support for the White House and national leadership, desktop support at the Pentagon, and contracting.
Montemarano, who is also DISA's senior procurement executive, stressed the agency is vigilant when it comes to Other Transaction Authorities and contracting.
He asked industry partners not to be discouraged or frustrated by the time it takes to execute a contract, and explained the time invested is beneficial to all involved.
He said not only are procurements double-checked, they're triple-checked.
"Our focus is on fairness when it comes to contracts," Montemarano said. "If you're going to go after a contract, go after it aggressively. We are working hard to be fair and working hard to be open and transparent."
DISA Operations Center Director David Bennett took to the podium to discuss his center's needs, stressing industry partners must understand his mission and work within that scope when proposing a solution for DISA and the DOD.
"Many times what works in industry doesn't apply in this space," he said. "I will listen to your pitch and see how it applies within our space. I ask that when you prepare your presentations, you ask yourselves the same question."
Presentations continued throughout the afternoon. Presenters discussed the procurement and acquisition plans related to business innovation, cyber, mobility, networking, the Joint Service Provider, and small business programs. The event concluded with a "meet the seniors" panel.

Corporation.
The GPS III navigation payload features a Mission Data Unit (MDU) with a unique 70-percent digital design that links atomic clocks, radiation-hardened processors and powerful transmitters — enabling signals three times more accurate than those on current GPS satellites. The payload also boosts signal power, which increases jamming resistance by eight times and helps extend the satellite's lifespan. Harris is committed to delivering a seventh navigation payload by the end of 2018. This latest payload delivery is the third payload Lockheed Martin has received in the last 12 months.
Harris navigation payloads are already integrated on five GPS III satellites. In August, the first GPS III space vehicle (GPS III SV01) shipped to Florida for an expected December launch. Also, in August, the Air Force declared GPS III SV02 Available for Launch, or "AFL," for an expected 2019 launch. GPS III SV03 and SV04 are fully assembled and in environmental testing. GPS III SV05 was integrated with its payload this fall and will begin system testing later this year.
In 2017, Harris announced that it completed development of an even more-powerful, fully digital MDU for the Air Force's GPS III Follow On (GPS IIIF) program. The new GPS IIIF payload design will further enhance the satellite's capabilities and performance. In September, after a full and open competition, the Air Force awarded Lockheed Martin a contract for up to 22 additional GPS IIIF satellites.
Harris' expertise in creating and sending GPS signals extends back to the mid-1970s – providing navigation technology for every U.S. GPS satellite ever launched. While the Air Force originally developed GPS for warfighters, millions of people around the world and billions of dollars of commerce now depend on the accurate, reliable signal created and sent by Harris navigation technology.

NSR's MILSATCOM analysis and report
NSR's newly released Government and Military Satellite Communications, 15th Edition report finds a rebounding market entering a growth phase after several years of stagnation.
Geopolitics, acquisition reform, and expanded low-cost offerings from the commercial market, all point to expanded opportunities across all regions and applications.
With more than $71 billion in cumulative revenue expected by 2027, commercial suppliers to the MILSATCOM market stand to see sizable gains.
At slightly over $5 billion in revenues in 2017, up nearly $500 million from 2016, annual global MILSATCOM revenue will double over the next decade. Land-Mobile and UAS applications are the leading markets for Government and Military users, as they will generate over 64 percent of revenue.
Renewed interest in bulk leasing, and ongoing integration of commercial managed services into end-user networks, however, is being offset by challenges in terminal acquisition and expanding MILSATCOM capacity.
"Government and Military customers need more connectivity than ever before — from all orbits, and frequencies — and from both commercial and proprietary networks," said report author and Senior Analyst, Brad Grady.
Brady note, "The debate today isn't entirely MILSATCOM vs. COMSATCOM, it's about acquiring new, flexible terminals, and having a holistic view of the entire communications infrastructure.
"This year, the focus has turned to the 'how' — how to implement acquisition reform, how to design robust and resilient communications infrastructure, and how to integrate commercial technologies within and alongside MILSATCOM networks."
As commercial markets continue to accelerate their uptake of broadband satellite connectivity, these end-users are feeling the pressures of being left behind.
Combined with falling capacity prices, Government and Military markets are taking full advantage of accelerating their adoption of commercial satellite connectivity.
At over 21 Gbps of capacity demand across both FSS and HTS in 2017, increasing to more than 250 Gbps of satellite capacity by 2027, generating $10 billion in retail revenues for the satellite sector, the market is on a growth-trajectory.
Despite several years of turbulence, there is a strong outlook for mil/gov satcom growth on the horizon.
NSR's Government and Military Satellite Communications, 15th Edition, explores the market opportunities available to the satellite industry.
With more than 15 years of insights and analysis, NSR's longest-running report on the government and military satellite communications market provides an in-depth view of the drivers, regional trends, and capacity demand through 2027.

Viasat's Mini Crypto to U.S.A.F.
Viasat Inc. (NASDAQ: VSAT) has received a Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) order of 1,000 National Security Agency (NSA)-certified Mini Crypto devices from the U.S. Air Force (USAF).
In today's battlespace environment, technological breakthroughs have enabled smaller sensors and smaller platforms of every kind, but until now, the available high-assurance cryptographic technology did not meet the needs for these devices at the tactical edge.
Viasat's Mini Crypto devices are designed for easy embedment on U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) small form factor systems, allowing them to transmit SECRET and Below data securely across the battlespace.
Systems include unmanned systems, emerging robotics applications, communications devices, and existing and emerging sensors.
According to the USAF, the Mini Crypto device will enable forward-deployed warfighters to secure these small, tactical edge systems in extremely hostile environments.
The Mini Crypto device will ensure tactical communications and data exchanges, no matter where they take place, stay safe and secure. Due to its small size and embedded operational use case, the Mini Crypto device provides high levels of security with minimal additional weight and power.
In addition, because they are embedded and have a self-contained encryption engine capable of generating their own keys, they are not required to undergo the same special handling as other security devices, thereby expanding their operational use case and reducing operational costs.
The initial LRIP order of Viasat's Mini Crypto devices demonstrates a critical transition point for this embeddable security technology, and is a key step towards securing a Full-Rate Production order from the USAF.
First deliveries of Viasat's Mini Crypto devices are expected during the third quarter of Viasat's fiscal year.
Viasat's Mini Crypto device is based on the Company's industry-leading programmable and embeddable PSIAM™ cryptographic technology, which provides accredited cryptography for a wide range of applications including unmanned systems, handheld communications, weaponized platforms and high-speed cloud computing.
Ken Peterman, President, Government Systems, Viasat, said that cyber threats have created a new operational environment and have increased risk across the multi-domain battlespace. Viasat's Mini Crypto will provide substantial operational cost savings to customers through certificate-based Tactical Key Management and non-Controlled Cryptographic Item handling.
He added that the Mini Crypto also brings exceptional ease-of-use to the warfighter with innovations in low Size Weight and Power, enabling longer operational periods and smaller payloads. The company's patented software is upgradable even after deployment, enabling ongoing improvements without removing the system from the field.

A brokerage is a firm that assists in the selling and acquisition of specific types of goods. In the most common usage of brokerage firms, these are firms that deal with the buying and the selling of stocks. However, there are brokerage firms that deal with buying and selling of houses, food supplies, furniture, and various other goods that might be necessary for personal and business use.
A brokerage has employees who are trained in the necessary paperwork, negotiations, and other aspects that are required to broker a deal. When a brokerage firm is employed, the individual assigned to the case is the intermediary between the seller and buyer. They are employed to negotiate the terms of the sale in order to benefit both parties.
The payment method of a broker from a brokerage firm is dependent upon the type of firm the individual is from. Large firms can have payment in which both the seller and buyer each pay a share to the broker. However, there are brokerage firms in which the individual is paid solely by the seller because the seller is the one making the profit from the deal and is typically the one who initiates employment.
A brokerage can hold many cases and items for movement, which make it a highly valuable asset in the area of economics. Recently, however, much of the assets have been moved to online venues in order to be more accessible for buyers and sellers. This is an area that needs strict supervision in order to avoid large issues, and the brokerage firms are required to manage these dealings closely.
A brokerage firm is an institution that, in essence, acts as a stock broker for individual clients or business entities. The broker is a party that mediates between any buyer and seller in a market. A broker can also act as a seller or as a buyer to initiate a principal agent to the deal.
There are a number of types of brokers, including: aircraft brokers, business brokers, insurance brokers, mortgage brokers, joint venture brokers, options brokers, stock brokers, real estate brokers, retail brokers, and investment brokers.
A brokerage firm makes money through the sale or purchase of a good. Through mediating and facilitating the transaction, the broker will make a commission on the transaction. The commission is simply a percentage of the total transaction.
Brokers are necessary agents in the various financial or contractual agreements that exist between coordinating entities. The broker is a middle man or third person facilitator between a buyer and a seller. For example, in property transactions, a Real Estate Broker will facilitate the purchase or sale of a particular property. The Real Estate broker will act on behalf of a real estate company and mediate the sale between the private consumer and the entity offering the property.
In finance, a stock broker acts on behalf of either the buyer or seller. A stock broker will physically purchase the underlying equity or fund on behalf of his or her client, who agrees on the purchase of the financial product.
All brokerage firms and the underlying brokers within such institutions must follow a specific code of conduct to ensure the delivery of reliable and accurate information. As a result of the monetizing business model of a brokerage, there are many schemes which unjustly disrupt a client's desires.
In the United States, however, many brokerage firms do not operate under a tangible set of laws. To regulate the market, a broker must simply pass an examination to prove their knowledge and ensure the ability to broker a deal between two parties. In finance, for example, a stock broker must pass a series examinations administered by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. The Series 6 and Series 7 exams are the fundamental examinations required to become a financial broker. Similar to a financial broker, other forms of brokers must pass examinations which evaluate the applicant's particular knowledge of the underlying product or service.
The code of conduct is instituted by the brokerage firm. These rules must be followed by the particular brokers to avoid termination. If the broker is misrepresenting himself or the company for which he works, he may be liable for a lawsuit in accordance with the laws which protect against predatory practices.
The consumer in any brokerage deal has undeniable rights which are meant to ensure the delivery of sound, accurate, and moral information. A failure to deliver such information can result in a lawsuit and a settlement for the recoupment of any potential losses.

Q: Можно ли писать каким-нибудь OutputStream в файл, который отдаётся клиенту на лету Дано: большой поток данных, которые надо отдать клиенту в веб-интерфейсе файлом.
Условие: данных много, в памяти держать нельзя, писать в файловую систему тоже нежелательно.
Вопрос: можно ли писать файл клиенту потоком или writer'ом на лету, как будто бы он просто скачивает файлик с сервера?
A: Да, можно.
см getWriter и getOutputStream. Более того, такой способ является основным для HTTP.
UPD
Поскольку простейший вопрос каким-то непостижимым для меня способом получил два голоса, то видимо стоит добавить к ответу краткий пример. Хотя, я в недоумении, откуда взялся такой странный и при этом популярный вопрос, относящийся к самым основам веб-разработки на Java. Если у вас на руках сервлет, то вы из него пишете что хотите и в любом количестве.

After an early career in IT I developed my interest in photography, studying at The Bournemouth and Poole College. I am an Associate of the Royal Photographic Society (ARPS). Although interested in other areas of photography, architecture is my main focus. I strive to produce images that are both interesting and eye-catching whilst accurately recording detail and design.

HCM CITY — Young film directors are expected to shine in the annual 2016 Golden Kite Awards organised by the Việt Nam Cinematography Association in HCM City.
The awards ceremony will take place on Sunday at the city's Military Theatre in Tân Bình District.
Young directors Đinh Tuấn Vũ, Trần Kamy and Việt Max are all vying for the golden prizes in categories of best film and best director for their feature films.
Up-and-coming director Đinh Tuấn Vũ's third film, Chờ Em Đến Ngày Mai (Waiting for You till Tomorrow), a production that contains youth, love and family problems in modern society, should be a strong favourite.
"I'm not sure how my work will fare at the competition, but it is one that young audiences enjoyed watching," said 28-year-old Vũ, a graduate from the Hà Nội University of Theatre and Cinematography.
Chờ Em Đến Ngày Mai released late last year and it was one of the industry's big hits. In HCM City, the film attracted more than 35,000 people to cinemas after the first week of release.
The film features young HCM City actors, including An Nguy and Trấn Thành.
Vũ's first work, Cuộc Đời Của Yến (Yến's Life), won five top prizes, including Silver Lotus Award for best actress, best music, best cinematography and best production design, at the 19th Việt Nam Film Festival in 2015.
Produced by the Việt Nam Feature Film Studio, the film is about the life of a 10-year-old girl living in a remote area of Việt Nam, whose marriage was arranged by her parents.
It also won the Grand Festival Prize at World Premieres Film Festival in the Philippines last year, which aims to highlight filmmaking talent around the world.
Vũ's film was one of eight contemporary Vietnamese films, which were chosen for screening at the festival at the Cinematheque Centre Manila.
"We hope our films signal a trend in the industry, and that the Golden Kite jury and veteran filmmakers should take notice," the 31-year-old director Trần Ka My of HCM City.
My's Tik Tak Anh Yêu Em (Tik Tak I Love You) is a psychological film that features lessons from love and career earned by a group of urban and young women and men.
The film attracted young actors Tú Vi and Lương Thế Thành, who perform confident along veteran artists like Thành Lộc.
My said many of his colleagues face financial challenges to develop their career and join a big competition like the Golden Kite Awards.
"I think cultural authorities and film festival organisers should give support to help our young filmmakers to show off their creations at national events."
Another talented director, Việt Max, hopes his second work Sút (Shoot) will set a trend for more seriously appealing films in a local industry that is still dominated by comedy topics.
Sút is a story about young football players who sacrifice their life to develop their professional career. They become selfish after earning victories and money. The film has made a strong impression on young audiences, particularly teenagers.
The film starred young actress Nhung Kate, who worked hard to perform in her action scenes.
It was distributed by BHD, one of the country's private leading film companies and distributors.
The 16 remaining films for the Golden Kite Award, mostly by young directors, are expected to be tough competitors.
The organiser received 118 entries, including 19 feature films, 20 TV series, 13 cartoons, 52 documentary films, 11 scientific films and 16 short films.
The entries will compete in different categories, such as best film, best director, best actor and actress.

The Benedict XVI Centre and the Institut Catholique de Paris are pleased to release their joint report: Europe's Young Adults and Religion (English) / Les jeunes adultes et la religion en Europe (Français).
Using recent data from the European Social Survey, the report explores religious affiliation and practice among 16-29 year-olds in 22 European countries. The report also features more in-depth discussion of young adults' religiosity in France and UK, as well as on the levels of specifically Catholic affiliation and practice across Europe.
Authored by Prof Stephen Bullivant, the report is chiefly intended to inform the Synod of Bishops, to be held in Rome in October 2018. However, there is much in the report likely to be of wider interest.

Wheels: Opel's New Astra Adds Speed to an Old Standard
By	Tim Saunders
The Opel Astra coupe's small size and good fuel economy make it a natural choice for discerning city drivers.
Editor's note: Wheels is a section featuring car reviews.
Today, it seems that straight lines are frowned upon in car design.
An advocate of this trend is the Opel Astra, which started life as little more than a box over 30 years ago. Introduced in 1979, over time this angular hatchback has developed into a curvaceous beauty, as witnessed when the sixth generation was launched in 2009.
Due to its age, many of us will undoubtedly have come into contact with an Astra or its earlier sibling, the Opel Kadett, available in Russia. For instance, when I was growing up, my family had a version with a trunk, the Vauxhall Belmont, and I recall it had a poor three-speed auto transmission and embarrassing performance, if you could call it that. Friends' parents had standard hatchback Astras and often mentioned their reliability and the fact that they were good workhorses. Others, with more cash, owned the sportier, more tasteful black or red GTE version, typically as a powerful second car.
Opel Astra GTC
New Price Range: 716,000 RUB — 1,150,000 RUB
0- 100 kph: 8 seconds
Top speed: 220 kph
Power: 177 bhp
Economy: 16.6 kpl
Source: Opel
The Astra has evolved, and as I'm presented with the GTC Turbo SRi, it is a pleasing package. This is the modern equivalent of the old GTE, and its sweeping curves and bright red paintwork command attention as it sits in the car park. It is a supremely sporty car, and its slightly protruding rear haunches help it look the part and allude to great performance. In fact, this increases expectations that it is at least fitted with a sluggish 2-liter gasoline engine. However, to my surprise there's a modest 1.6-liter 16-valve unit under the hood. But then you learn that Opel has fiddled with it to produce 177bhp. It takes just eight seconds for this hot coupe to reach 100 kilometers per hour from standstill and its top speed exceeds 200 kph. But you don't need to worry about such stealth, especially if you live in Moscow where you'll be lucky to travel at 10 percent of that speed! This vigorous performance allows me to safely overtake a car and a slow-moving truck as I move away from a roundabout, up a hill. In these days of high fuel prices, it will return over 16 kilometers per liter even with enthusiastic driving. Its smooth, six-speed manual transmission and excellent driving position help ensure that this Opel delivers an enjoyable driving experience time and time again.
With its comfortable cabin and leather seats, driver and passengers are sure to arrive relaxed and invigorated at the end of a journey. The driver's seat is particularly comfortable with an excellent lumbar support, making driving a pleasurable experience for someone with a temperamental back, like me. The front seats are even heated, a really useful feature on a cold morning. But the driver has to really stretch back to reach the seatbelt. Despite having just three doors, it is possible to place two bulky child seats in the rear, as you can see from the video. Simply pulling a lever at the top of the front seats slides and tilts them forward and allows for access to the back. The trunk only seems to open by pushing the button on the keychain.
Opel's updated Astra provides the same old reliable performance and functionality while adding many modern amenities.
Fitted with an electric handbrake, there is automatic anti-roll, but it does still seem to roll a little on occasions, requiring some nifty footwork with the clutch and accelerator, which is slightly unnerving. I still prefer a traditional handbrake. Cruise control is simple to use — just push the small lever on the left of the steering wheel down to set the speed — but it doesn't prevent it from picking up speed when traveling downhill.
"This striking brute is the third incarnation of the current shape of Astra, lining up alongside the five-door and Sports Tourer models," says Parkers, the car experts. "It has its sights set on the likes of Volkswagen's Scirocco and the Renault Megane Coupe; both attractive three-door hatchbacks with serious style and decent driving dynamics. Opel's offering has an emphasis on driving enjoyment, with the high-tech front suspension set-up from the Insignia VXR employed and a wider track utilized to vastly improve traction and agility."

A: I learned how to layout my webpage by understanding the following CSS Layout tools.

*

*Flexbox

*CSS Grid

*Media Queries

You use Flexbox and CSS Grid to layout your content, while Media Queries can help your website be responsive to different media(Phone, Tablets, Desktop etc...) sizes.
Goodluck!

A: Basically, there are two good solutions for your issue:

*

*Use the Media Queries, and set the proper config for your content depends on the viewport of the browser. I can see in the code, that you already use it, so you know how to deal with it.

*the second option is to use a flexbox display, which will adjust content size depend on the page width. Here you have probably the best explanation on how to use flexbox:

SVN calls the pre-commit hook once for each commit (duh), but Git only calls the update hook once per push (per brach or tag).
Figuring out which commits to check is non-trivial, and can involve a number of different conditions.
The author of a SVN commit is the same as the authenticated username of the person uploading the commit, so access checking is easy. In Git, the author, committer, and pusher can be totally different people, and Git (correctly) does not store any information about the pusher.
Passing the appropriate authorization information to the hooks is non-trivial.
There are a couple of complex ideas in there, so I'll take a moment to define what I'm talking about.
With DVCSs, commits happen on the user's local computer, so Drupal (obviously) cannot check commits until they are pushed to the server repository. What this means is that Drupal sees a whole bunch of commits at a time.
This is a distinction that does not exist within centralized VCSs, as there is only one way for a commit to enter the repository. In Git, and I believe the other DVCSs as well, there is a difference between the author of a commit, the committer, and the person who is pushing to a repository. For the purposes of demonstration, I will call the author Alice, the committer Carol, and the pusher Pat.
Author: The person who originally wrote the commit. This gets set when you run "git commit", and does not change as a commit floats around between repositories.
Committer: The person who added the commit to the repository. By default, is the same as the author. It will be different if, for example, Alice emails her patch to Carol who commits it to her repository. In Carol's repository, Alice will be the author and Carol will be the committer. If Carol emails the patch to Charlie and he commits it, then Charlie would be the new committer.
Pusher: The person who pushes a commit to a remote repository. It is this person who needs to be authorized in order for a push to succeed. It doesn't much matter who a commit was written by, as long as the person adding it to the mainline repository is allowed to do so.
In the original examples, Alice writes a commit, mails it as a patch to Carol, who then asks Pat to upload it to drupal.org. Pat has an account on drupal.org, but neither Alice nor Carol do. Pat pushes the patch to the main repository on drupal.org, and the push succeeds because Pat is allowed to push.
With the current workflow on drupal.org, Alice would post a patch as an attachment on a bug, Carol would mark the patch "reviewed and tested by the community," and Pat would commit the patch to CVS.
Since no mention of Pat is included in the commit he is pushing, some method external to Git is needed to determine whether a push should be allowed.
So far, I have only implemented solutions to 1 and 2, though the way to progress forward on 3 and 4 is now much more clear (after this week's IRC discussion).
Figuring out which commits to check can be tricky, since an updated ref could be a fast-forward (nothing but a linear set of commits between the old and new location of the ref), a non-fast-forward push (such as a rebase), or the creation of a branch (so the "old commit" is 0000000000...). Additionally, if a ref is changed, but does not introduce any commits, then no commits need to be checked. This will occur if, for example there are three branches, "master", "next", and "test", where "test" and "next" point to the same commit. If "test" is changed to point at "master", then no commits are actually added to the repository, so the only check should be whether the user is authorized to modify branches. This adds complexity which is not present in the SVN backend.
I have a draft implementation of this logic, but it needs to be tested. I am working on the tests, which will include a set of sample repositories and push different sets of commits to ensure that the correct set of commits is tested.
User connects to server via ssh. All users connect through the common user git.
The value of command= is run, which would be something like git-serve.php .
git-serve.php checks whether there is a drupal user with (or who has a vcs account username) and if so, sets an env variable GIT_DRUPAL_USER_NAME.
git-serve.php grabs the value of the env var (which was set by ssh) SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND, which will be git receive-pack and runs that (if step 5 passed).
git receive-pack runs the update hook once for each branch or tag being updated. It gets the user name from GIT_DRUPAL_USER_NAME.
The update hook builds $operation, $operation_items for each commit being added (using the steps described earlier) and sets the author of $operation to GIT_DRUPAL_USER_NAME.
If any of has_write_access($operation, $operation_items) fails, then that ref update is refused.
It is complicated, but it should be doable, and won't actually be all that much code (since ssh handles a lot of it).

The biggest story heading into the new campaign will be the battle for MVP, as there are a number of talented players who could make a run at the award. Below is a look at some of the top contenders for the 2022 NBA MVP Award
1. Giannis Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks
Giannis Antetokounmpo is coming off an MVP season in which he led the Bucks to the best record in the NBA. Antetokounmpo is one of the best all-around players in the league, as he averaged 29.5 points, 13.6 rebounds, and 5.6 assists per game last season. If Giannis can lead the Bucks to another NBA Finals appearance, he will be in contention for MVP once again.
2. Kawhi Leonard Los Angeles Clippers
Kawhi Leonard is fresh off winning his second NBA Championship with the Clippers. Leonard is one of the best two-way players in basketball and he has proven that he can deliver when it matters most. Leonard averaged 27.1 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists per game last season and he will be looking to lead the Clippers to another title in 2022.
3 Lebron James Los Angeles Lakers
LeBron James is coming off an injury-plagued 2021 season that saw him miss significant time due to a nagging groin injury. However, when healthy, LeBron is still one of the best players in basketball and he proved that by leading the Lakers to an NBA title last year. James averaged 25 points, 7 rebounds, and 10 assists per game last season and if he can stay healthy during the 2021-22 campaign, he will be in contention for MVP once again.
4 Stephen Curry Golden State Warriors
Stephen Curry had a down year by his standards in 2021, as he was limited to just five games due to injuries. However, when healthy, Curry is still one of the best shooters in basketball and he has proven that he can carry a team on his own when needed. Curry averaged 20 points per game last season and if he can stay healthy during the 2021-22 campaign, he will be in contention for MVP once again
The NBA offseason is in Full Swing and there have already been some big trades and signings. Some of the game's biggest stars will be suiting up for new teams in the 2022 season and there are sure to be plenty of surprises.

The NBA's schedule makers have done a great job of putting together an exciting slate of games for the upcoming season Here are some of the highlights:
– The first ever Christmas Day triple header will feature the Lakers vs. the Warriors, the Pelicans vs. the Heat, and the Celtics vs. the Sixers.

The Warriors will be looking to bounce back in a big way in the 2022 season after a disappointing 2021 campaign. While Steph Curry and Klay Thompson will both be back, it remains to be seen how effective they'll be after suffering serious injuries. However, with a core of young talent that includes rookie sensation Iggy Brazdeikis and exciting second-year players like Eric Paschall and Jordan Poole the Warriors should be one of the most fun Teams to Watch in the NBA next season.
One of the most anticipated releases of the year will be 2022 NBA Hoops which is set to hit store shelves in early October. As always, there will be plenty of sought-after cards to chase, including rookie cards autographs and inserts. Here's a look at some of the key details for this year's set.

The first big change for the upcoming season is that there will now be two conferences – the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference Each conference will have 18 teams, and each team will play every other team in their conference four times during the regular season The top eight teams in each conference will then qualify for the playoffs.
Another big change is that there will no longer be an All-Star Game Instead, there will be an All-Star Weekend which will include a Skills Challenge a three-Point Contest and a Dunk Contest
The final change that we want to highlight is that each team will now have two uniform designs – one for home games and one for away games. We think this is a great way to add some more variety and excitement to the NBA Hoops experience!

Kate Winslet has just released a new photo book focused on raising awareness of autism and it features some of the most popular names in Hollywood like George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Tom Hanks, Justin Timberlake, Angelina Jolie, Anna Wintour, Sting and Leonardo DiCaprio are just some of the 100 portraits that can be found in "The Golden Hat: Talking Back to Autism."
Each celebrity is shown gere wearing a "golden hat" (or fedora) plucked from Kate Winslet's closet and answering this question; "If you could only say one thing, what would that be?" Sales will benefit the Golden Hat Foundation, a non-profit the Oscar-winner started in 2010 after narrating a film about a 14-year-old boy with a non-verbal autism.
"I had this feeling of, 'I need to do something else,'" she said to USA TODAY.
"It wasn't just a case of 'what can I do to help the cause?' It was something much more profound than that." According to the website, this book features shots that were taken in a wide-range of locales which includes bathrooms, inside dressing rooms and on movie sets.
"The truth is, I don't really know these people," Kate says of her famous participants. "They're not my friends. I am just like everyone else … I don't really know that many famous people, that's not my life. I'm a mum, I go to work, and then I'm a mum. It really was a case of bribing people for phone numbers."

Thicker'N Thieves: The 1950 Factual Expose of Police-Pay-Offs, Graft, Political Corruption and Prostitution in Los Angeles and Hollywood is the full, fearless expose by former LAPD vice-squad Sgt. Charles Stoker.
Twenty-years before SERPICO there was STOKER.
Inside these pages you will read how a Main Street street-walker, Marie Mitchell, zoomed to national fame as Brenda Allen — L.A.'s notorious vice queen—with the help and protection of the "city fathers" in cahoots with the underworld. You will "listen in" on the wire-tap recordings of Brenda getting her instructions from the high brass on the police force… you won't believe the conniving, crime-full corruption, that cost Stoker his job when he finally trapped, call house madame, Brenda Allen.
Sgt. Stoker's expose provides us with a real-time ride-along with LAPD as they secretly wire-tap gangster Mickey Cohen's mansion, then demand $20,000 in extortion monies for the incriminating tapes.
You are present in the jury-room as Sgt. Stoker presents his secret testimony to the 1949 Grand Jury, detailing police corruption and pay-offs. His whistle-blowing revelations resulted in a felony indictment and the forced retirement of LAPD Chief of Police, C.B. "Cowboy" Horrall as well as causing formal charges to be filed against four of Horrall's top command officers.
The original 1951 hardback limited edition of Thicker'N Thieves by Sidereal Company, Los Angeles, is long out of print. (The few rare copies listed for sale on the Internet, are priced between $300-$500) This republished paperback edition makes Thicker'N Thieves – The Stoker Story available to the general public for the first time since its original limited printing some sixty-years ago. This 2011 edition is true to the original. None of the author's words have been changed or edited.
Additions to the 2011 edition include: A Foreword by Steve Hodel, New York Times bestselling author and retired LAPD homicide detective; "Line-Up" photographs of many of the original 1940s "players" named in the Stoker Story.

Q: Mass Transit - Are messages still delivered after timeout with RabbitMQ This may be a very stupid question but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer online. I'm using the Masstransit Request/Response pattern with RabbitMQ as my message broker.
I have a request to add a user to a database and a consumer running in a separate service that consumes that request and sends a response.
The request has a ten second timeout. My question is: If that request timed out before the consumer was able to consume it, is the request removed or will it eventually get consumed by the consumer and the request client just times out and moves on?

A: The request client is for requests, which by default have a 30 second timeout (which you indicated you are changing to ten seconds). This setting applies to both the request client timeout (the point at which it stops waiting for a response) and the time-to-live of the message sent.
If you want to extend the message TimeToLive, you can change that value when sending the request using:
await client.GetResponse<T>(request, x =>
    x.Execute(context => context.TimeToLive = TimeSpan.FromDays(10)));

TL;DR - yes, the request message will expire after 10 seconds and by automatically removed from the queue by the message broker.
