Q: How can I submit a GitHub Project to Maven Central? I have a GWT/Java project hosted on github. I created a maven project structure and when I do
mvm clean install

I get the generated jar file of my project. I tried to upload it to oss.sonatype.org but closing the project there failed.
Is there an easy way to submit my jar to maven central? Do I have any errors in my pom.xml as sown below?

Edit: I get the following errors when I want to close my repo on sonatype:

Edit: I solved the JavaDoc Issue but the Signature Issue is still open.

A: There is extensive documentation including some video tutorial available. In your case there are problems with your artifacts not being signed.

A: your pom has groupId = org.example and artifactId = test: you have to choose unique coordinates
a new introduction has been published lately http://central.sonatype.org/pages/ossrh-guide.html
and you should read carefully requirements: http://central.sonatype.org/pages/requirements.html
Don't forget that once an artifact is published to Central, it will be available for absolutely everybody and won't ever be modified/deleted. So don't publish some tests: publish once your work is sufficiently stable.
You can learn with a local repository manager.

I tried to go into this movie with no expectations, though I had read what the general response was from the critics. I knew it was a movie about caring for the environment, but still remembered loving the story growing up. After getting through 10 minutes of commercials and 25 minutes of trailers (with my daughter asking me each time a new trailer came up if it was the movie actually starting), the movie finally started, and I was hopeful.
We are taught the same lesson that the book and the earlier animated feature teach us, that "unless" we take action and defend the trees, no one else can or will. A much stronger moral (and the one my wife remembered from the book) was that "unless" we do something ourselves, we can't ever expect anything to get done - not only with respect to caring for the environment, but in every aspect of our lives. Carpe diem! Act now!
The movie ends on a silly, corny, but positive note. A movie suggesting action, is often better without offering a resolution (like what we're given in the original book/movie); giving the reader/viewer the opportunity to decide for him/herself what actions they need to take. Instead we're given a crazy chase with the angry, tiny man trying to destroy the last truffula seed and the townsfolk changing their disdain for the boy with the seed to disdain for the tiny, angry man when they see what he's hidden from them (a dark and dreary wasteland).
Wait for this to come out on DVD to see it, and you will probably only enjoy it if you have small kids that you can watch it with.

We are excited to announce that Off The Record Youth Counselling Croydon has won a 2019 GSK Impact Award!
The GSK IMPACT Awards, run in partnership with The King's Fund, are a national programme that recognise and reward small and medium sized charities that are doing excellent work to improve people's health and wellbeing in communities across the UK.
We are one of 10 winners to receive this prestigious award and thrilled that it coincides with our 25th anniversary celebration.
The award is a tribute to all the young people who have trusted us to support them in their lives and to all the staff who have worked tirelessly for the charity over the last 25 years.
As one of the winners. we will receive £30,000 in unrestricted funding as well as expert support and leadership development provided by The King's Fund.
We welcome the support and funding we will receive from this award and will continue to work alongside local communities to reach out to young people.
Off the Record Youth Counselling, a charity which helps young people in South London, has been selected from more than 370 organisations across the UK as one of 10 winners of the 2019 GSK IMPACT Awards.
The GSK IMPACT Awards are a national programme that recognise and reward small and medium sized charities that are doing excellent work to improve people's health and wellbeing in communities across the UK. Winners will receive £30,000 in unrestricted funding as well as expert support and leadership development provided by The King's Fund.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, Off the Record's vision is "Bringing an end to mental health misery for children and young people in South London". They provide free, professional counselling and support to young people in Croydon, Sutton and Merton. NHS statistics have shown that one in five young people wait for more than six months for contact with a mental health specialist, meaning that the charity's easy access, self-referral services offer an important alternative.
The charity has worked hard to offer bespoke services in response to the different needs across the three boroughs. For example, in Croydon it works with the borough's Gangs Team and local professionals and community groups to support young people following a violent or sudden death. In Sutton, it works with statutory and voluntary sector partners within Sutton Alliance to offer targeted support around particular issues such as exam stress, especially during summer exam periods when stress and anxiety are heightened. In Merton, it has just been awarded a new health contract to greatly expand its services. It supports young carers, refugees and asylum seekers and has specific programmes to tackle the challenges of BAME communities in accessing mental health support.
Merton and Croydon both have a higher rate of child mental health admissions than the London average and Sutton has a higher rate of self-harm than neighbouring boroughs. Croydon also has high numbers of Looked After Children including, in 2017, the second highest number of Unaccompanied Asylum Seeking Children in the UK. Off the Record runs face-to-face counselling services across all three boroughs, and last year received over 1,200 referrals and offered over 7,000 sessions. It has also developed an online platform to help young people who aren't comfortable with speaking to someone directly or need faster access, which had 261 new registrations last year and delivered nearly 1,000 sessions.
Karen Stott, Director of Off the Record, said:
"We are delighted to have been given this prestigious award and pleased that it coincides with our 25th anniversary celebrations. The award is a tribute to all the young people who have trusted us to support them in their lives and to all the staff who have worked tirelessly for the charity over the last 25 years. Times are tough for young people in South London and Off the Record will continue to work alongside local communities to reach out to young people in need."
Lisa Weaks, Head of Third Sector at The King's Fund, said:
"Off the Record has found new and innovative ways to connect with young people and provide urgently-needed support. By listening to young people, working with community groups and identifying the barriers that might stop young people from getting mental health care, Off the Record has been able to help children and young people to prevent crises."
Developing leaders in the charity sector is a key aim of the GSK IMPACT Awards programme. All winners will be invited to take part in a tailored leadership development programme provided by The King's Fund. They will also be invited to join the GSK IMPACT Awards Network, a national network of over 80 previous award winners working together to develop leaders, find new ways of working, and provide mutual support.
Off the Record will receive their award at a ceremony held at the Science Museum in London in May, along with nine other 2019 GSK IMPACT Award winners.

Q: Dropping rows in a Data Frame I am trying to drop some specific rows in a DataFrame df where, the column Time is anything except 06:00:00. I tried the following code but it dosen't seem to work. I even tried adding another column Index to my file to aid the process but still it is not working. Can you please help me. I am attaching the screenshots.
The val just contains the specific time 06:00:00. Also, please ignore the variable req. Thanks a lot.

A: In pandas, by default drop isn't inplace operation. Try specifying df.drop(j, inplace=True).

A: Have you tried?
df = df.drop(df[//expresion here//].index)

Or even better:
df = df[~df.a.str.contains("06:00:00")]

Where a is the name of the column you want to search the time in

Category:CS1 maint: Unrecognized language
This is a tracking category.
It is used to build and maintain lists of pages—primarily for the sake of the lists themselves and their use in article and category maintenance. It is not part of the encyclopedia's categorization scheme.
This category is hidden on its member pages—unless the corresponding user preference is set.
These categories are used to track, build and organize lists of pages needing "attention en masse" (for example, pages using deprecated syntax), or that may need to be edited at someone's earliest convenience.
These categories also serve to aggregate members of several lists or sub-categories into a larger, more efficient list (discriminated by classifications).
Administrators: Please do not delete this category even if it is empty!
This category may be empty occasionally or even most of the time.
This is a tracking category for CS1 citations that use |language= where the assigned value is not recognized by MediaWiki. MediaWiki recognizes all of the ISO 639-1 two-character codes and some of the ISO 639-2 three-character codes, along with the full official names of the languages corresponding to those codes.
MediaWiki is particular about language name spelling. For example, Northern Sámi should be spelled Northern Sami. MediaWiki does not recognize three-character codes when there is an equivalent two-character code: for Northern Sami, use code se instead of code sme. For recognized ISO 639-2 languages with multiple official names, MediaWiki recognizes only one. For example, code crh can refer to Crimean Tatar or Crimean Turkish; MediaWiki recognizes the latter.
MediaWiki does not recognize dialects and character sets (e.g. Simplified Chinese (a character set), British English (a dialect)).
Text that is not a recognized language code or name (the 'and' in |language=German and French) will add the article to this category because the citation module is looking for a single language name or code, or a comma-separated list of language names and/or codes; |language=German and French should be changed to: |language=German, French.
Pages in this category should only be added by Module:Citation/CS1.
By default, Citation Style 1 and Citation Style 2 error messages are visible to all readers and maintenance category messages are hidden from all readers.
To display maintenance messages, include the following text in your common CSS page or your specific skin's CSS page (common.css and skin.css respectively):
.mw-parser-output span.cs1-maint {display: inline;} /* display Citation Style 1 maintenance messages */
To display hidden-by-default error messages:
.mw-parser-output span.cs1-hidden-error {display: inline;} /* display hidden Citation Style 1 error messages */
Even with this CSS installed, older pages in Wikipedia's cache may not have been updated to show these error messages even though the page is listed in one of the tracking categories. A null edit will resolve that issue.
To hide normally-displayed error messages:
.mw-parser-output span.cs1-visible-error {display: none;} /* hide Citation Style 1 error messages */
You can personalize the display of these messages (such as changing the color), but you will need to ask someone who knows CSS or at WP:Simple talk if you do not understand how.

A hallmark of Georgian cuisine is mkhali, a vegetable puree to which herbs and ground walnuts are added. Mkhali is made from any number of different vegetables, though spinach and beets are favored. Some of the most interesting versions call for radish and even cauliflower greens.
In making mkhali, you must rely on your palate, since the amount of vinegar necessary depends on the sugar content of each given vegetable. It should be sharp but vinegary.
Georgians like to mix their vegetable by hand and that means both hands. But, in our modern society we can use a blender.
Bake the unpeeled beets at 375°F for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until tender. If you are short of time, the beets may be boiled, but their flavor will not be as good. While the beets are cooking, grind together walnuts, garlic and salt. Add the cilantro, parsley and continue grinding to make a fine paste. Transfer to a bowl.
When the beets are soft, peel them and finely grate them in the food processor. In a medium size bowl mix together the grated beets and the ground walnut mixture, then stir in the remaining ingredients. Keep tasting, as the amount of vinegar needed will depend on the sweetness of the beets. The mkhali should be slightly tart.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, but bring to room temperature before serving, mounted on a plate and cross-hatched on top with a knife.
I literally cannot stand beets! However I must say I tried this recipe because I know they're very nutritious and I wanted to try to find a way to incorporate them into my diet. This tasted great (though way too garlicky ... see note) and i'm making it again today. As to the garlic, , use 3 med/small garlic cloves. I'm a garlic lover and I used 3 very large ones and the garlic overwhelming.


So you want your post on page one. You've got this killer blog post idea that you're about to let shine on your blog, and you want it at the top of every search result for your target keywords. But how do you judge if a keyword is worth giving a try?
Here are 3 keyword competition metrics you should be looking at.
Page Authority, popularly called PA in SEO circles, is a scale developed by MOZ to calculate how authoritative a page is in the eyes of the search engines.
Google ranks pages and not websites. When you go to Google to do a search, do you want the 6th best post? How about the 3rd best post? Thought so too. You want the number one post on Google for that keyword.
And that's where your eyes go first. The PA score tells a lot so here's why you should be tracking it.
Bar link farms and other shady schemes like that, people link to sites they consider authoritative. You know, pages dripping with amazing content. And PA considers the backlinks a particular page has.
If you see a page with high PA, it's possible that some of the links to those sites are from high authority sites so it'd be difficult targeting such keywords.
PA is also a measure of how properly optimized a page is for a particular keyword. Things like the title tag, meta tags and LSI keywords are still huge ranking factors in 2017.
The extension gives the PA for the top 10 pages of any search result.
Page Authority analyses a particular page. Domain Authority is a different kettle of fish. You're now dealing with the entire domain.
Yep, you might be seeing some pages ranking in search for your target keywords but on a little digging, you find that they don't have that many backlinks. So the page authority of that page isn't that high.
But you would still find these kinds of pages a bit difficult to outrank. This is because domain authority is a search engine's validation of an entire domain or website.
DA was created by MOZ and it tracks authority at the domain level. If a website looks good in Google's eyes, it's going to rank. Point blank!
And you'd see DA with the MozBar extension too.
You wanna know if a website's engaging? You can check by viewing the average time on site.
If visitors are leaving your site, it's bad for your business. Here are some reasons that your average time on site is low.
No one's going to spend time on a page that takes forever to load. You have to make your site faster so those visitors can browse through.
Here's how to get that done.
Forget about all the bulky fanciful images. Just put something out there that your visitors can see.
Yeah, I know you want to show you're the best programmer the world's ever seen. But except you're showing off to attract clients, don't do it on your site.
Compress all those unnecessary HTML and CSS codes.
Your content should be readable. Visitors should be able to scan through your site.
Make it easy for them by including subheads and even bullets in your posts.
If you're going to grow those sites, you need to be tracking. But you'd be so wrong if you think you need to track everything. Follow these guidelines, track and start ranking!

Prozac Lawsuits
Over the years, Eli Lilly & Co. has faced a number of lawsuits linked to its blockbuster antidepressant, Prozac (fluoxetine). In the 1990s, Eli Lilly faced a high-profile federal lawsuit claiming Prozac led a man to murder co-workers and then commit suicide. The company paid millions in settlements, and the cases were resolved. The handful of remaining lawsuits claim Prozac caused birth defects.
Prozac (fluoxetine), manufactured by Eli Lilly, is one of the world's best-known, best-selling prescription antidepressant medications. But the infamous "happy pill" has also sparked considerable litigation.
In the 1990s, Eli Lilly faced lawsuits alleging it failed to warn that the drug could cause violent behaviors and suicidal thoughts. More recently, plaintiffs have sued Eli Lilly after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration linked Prozac and other selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) to an increased risk of birth defects.
Of the hundreds of people who have sued Eli Lilly, some have received settlements and others have voluntarily dismissed their claims for supposed lack of evidence.
Lilly Settles 30 Suits for $50 Million
The FDA approved Prozac in 1987, and just a few years later, the drug had its first lawsuits. Lawsuits alleged that Eli Lilly was "grossly negligent" in its failure to properly warn doctors and consumers about potential dangers, including violent, aggressive and suicidal behavior.
In 1992, the Federal Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation moved 75 federal Prozac cases to MDL 907 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. And hundreds of individual cases were scattered across the country. By 2000, Eli Lilly had reportedly paid more than $50 million to settle more than 30 Prozac lawsuits related to murders or suicides, which doesn't include additional undisclosed settlement amounts.
After a spike in Prozac suicide lawsuits in the 1990s, the drug lost its patent, and litigation against Eli Lilly waned as generics flooded the market in 2001. An FDA-required black box warning for suicide ended all "failure to warn" lawsuits. The few cases that remain claim Prozac can cause birth defects.
The MDL is no longer active.
Murders and Suicides Linked to Prozac
Fentress v. Shea Communications
The Fentress case was the first major Prozac case to go to trial. The 1994 lawsuit claimed that Joseph T. Wesbecker was on Prozac in 1989 when he took an AK-47 and shot and killed eight colleagues, wounded 12 others and killed himself. After a jury ruled in favor of the drug company, the judge overseeing the trial accused Lilly of questionable ethics and trial fixing. Judge John Potter suspected something was amiss after plaintiffs' attorneys deliberately withheld their strongest evidence against Lilly. Information later emerged that Lilly and the plaintiffs had reached a secret settlement during the trial so that the company would receive a favorable verdict. The exact details of the settlement are unknown.
Canadian Murder Trial
In another media-worthy case, a judge in Canada ruled that the effects of Prozac caused a teenager to murder his friend in 2009. Manitoba Judge Robert Heinrichs described how the killer went from being a loving child to a dark, depressed drug abuser, the Winnipeg Free Press reported.
Romona L. Floyd v. United States of America
Romona Floyd filed a suit on behalf of her deceased daughter, Jessica Ann Ray, after a federally funded clinic improperly prescribed Prozac in 2006. According to Floyd, Prozac caused Ray to try to commit suicide.
Ray's attempt did not succeed, but she suffered severe brain damage after trying to hang herself. She eventually died from complications of her physical condition.
"The court finds that Jessica Ray endured significant pain and suffering during the three years and 47 days that she lived after her suicide attempt. She was trapped in her body, completely disabled, yet aware of her surroundings and able to sense pain and discomfort. Placing a monetary value on such pain and suffering is difficult, but the court finds in its enlightened conscience that reasonable compensation for the pain and suffering experienced by Jessica Ray from the date of her attempted suicide to the date of her death is $500,000," the judge wrote in his order.
Judge Land awarded $474,972.20 for medical bills; $9,523 for funeral and burial expenses; and $500,000 for pain and suffering. The total award was $3.459 million.
The majority of Prozac litigation dealt with side effects of suicide and violence, but more recent cases accuse Eli Lilly of failing to warn that Prozac can cause birth defects.
Dana Fields sued Eli Lilly in 2013 after she took Prozac in 1996 and gave birth to a son with a severe cardiac birth defect that required open heart surgery twice — once when he was six weeks old and again when he was five years old. Fields took the drug during her first trimester of pregnancy, which is when cardiac development of a fetus occurs.
Studies have linked fluoxetine use during pregnancy to a higher risk of heart-wall abnormalities and other cardiac defects. Source: BMJ
Lilly attempted to dismiss the suit in 2015, but U.S. District Judge Keith Watkins denied the defendant's summary judgment motion. However, Fields was unable to produce an expert who could connect Prozac to birth defects, and she ultimately lost the case. There have not been any successful cases against Lilly for birth defects linked to Prozac.
In 2006, the FDA issued a public health advisory noting that a single study had linked selective serotonin uptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as Prozac to a potential risk of a rare heart and lung condition called persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN). Citing "conflicting findings from new studies," the FDA said in 2011 that it's "unclear whether use of SSRIs during pregnancy can cause PPHN."
In 2002, Eli Lilly came under fire for questionable marketing practices after hundreds of Floridians received unsolicited samples of Prozac in the mail from Eli Lilly and Walgreens. Packages included a one-month supply of Prozac.
Among the recipients was Michael Grinsted, a 16-year-old from West Palm Beach. According to CBS News' 60 Minutes, Grinsted had never taken Prozac or any other antidepressant, and he was mystified as to why anyone would suggest he try it. The free pills came alongside a letter from the head physician at his family doctor's office.
Ann Parsons, 59, was also startled when she received a package of Prozac in the mail. Parsons told CBS she had been taking Zoloft for panic attacks after September 11 — but no one other than her doctor knew that. In fact, Parsons had been targeted by Lilly because she was taking Zoloft.
Parsons, Grinsted and others filed a class action suit against Eli Lilly for violation of privacy, but the case was eventually dismissed.
Historically, judges have dismissed most of the cases against Eli Lilly. After Prozac lost its patent in 2001, suicide and violent behavior lawsuits dwindled in number. Aside from a few settlements in the 1990s for suicide claims, Lilly has had no major backlash from Prozac litigation.
Please seek the advice of a medical professional before making health care decisions.

Showing love and gratitude can be hard.
We all have special women in our life that we love and are grateful for. But sometimes expressing those feelings can be difficult. It's hard to find the right words and many gifts are just too impersonal.
You need a way to convey just how important she is...something that's unique, just like her; something that will stand the test of time and be carried in her heart forever. Something that makes her think of you and smile.
A commissioned painting is your answer.
A commissioned painting is a fine art piece that's created solely for you and it makes an incredible gift. It will speak right to her heart. It's personal, unique and is a symbol of your love and gratitude. It conveys that message to her over and over again, every time she sees it. It's not like sentiments that are gone the second you speak them, or like cards that end up in a shoebox. Your painting will be one of the most significant gifts you ever give and she'll likely be overwhelmed with emotion.
I paint large, vivid abstract art with acrylics on canvas. They're very layered and complex. They go through an evolution and change greatly along the way to end up at a beautiful place. They really are a representation of a woman's journey.
There are 5 main steps to my commission process, from the first time we talk to the final delivery of the painting.
First we discuss what you're looking for in a painting and the message you're trying to convey. We talk about who it's for, what it's for, budget, timeline, and size. Essentially, we find out if I can provide what you need. If we're a match, then you secure your painting with a deposit and we sign an agreement of expectations.
Once we establish the basics, I like to know more about the recipient and why she's being celebrated. This is where I get to know her better through your eyes and can incorporate her energy and your intention into the painting.
Why is she important to you?
What does she like to do for fun?
What are 3 words that describe her?
What colours does she like?
What is your favourite memory of her?
Tell me a story about her.
Before painting, I review the information you provided about your loved one and take a moment of intention. Then I start painting. I pick colours that call to me at that moment and I don't have any ideas or expectations of what the final piece will look like. I trust and I keep going. I make marks and add layers. Often the painting gets uglier before it becomes beautiful. To see the evolution I take pictures between layers. When I'm happy with it, I call it done.
When the painting is finished and dry, I paint the edges and seal it with a protective coating. I make a Certificate of Authenticity and prepare an Artist's Diary with images of the various layers and my thoughts and inspiration during the evolution. An image of the final painting is emailed to you for final payment.
a ton of gratitude from me.

Home	InfrastructureBRI	How has the UK's stance towards the Belt and Road Initiative changed?
How has the UK's stance towards the Belt and Road Initiative changed?
by Joe Cash 11 January 2022
11 January 2022 0 comment
The UK has done well through partnering with China on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) before, but is it now considering extricating itself from further BRI collaboration with Beijing to align itself with the US or the EU? Joe Cash investigates
A global contest is brewing. China, the US, and the EU are all vying for influence along routes that Beijing first turned its attention to in 2013 when President Xi announced his Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), that would bring the ancient Silk Road into the present day. It hasn't always been this way. In the years preceding the outbreak of Covid-19, cooperation was the name of the game when it came to the BRI. In 2019, while attending the BRI Forum in Beijing, Britain's then Chancellor of the Exchequer, Phillip Hammond, came close to signing a Memorandum of Understanding that would have given Beijing Britain's backing. Fast forward to the present day, and the US is spearheading the creation of the Build Back Better World (B3W) initiative within the G7, while the EU has unveiled plans to launch a "Global Gateway" scheme.
So how does Britain fit in? And why is a country that once called the BRI "an extraordinarily ambitious vision" now debating whether it would be better throwing its lot in with Brussels and Washington?
The BRI, also known as One Belt, One Road (OBOR), is one of the main load-bearing pillars of the Xi administration's foreign policy. A diverse portfolio of overseas investment and construction projects rolled into a new, China-led model for interactions between countries, combined with a channel through which to transfer Chinese overcapacity, the BRI certainly is, as Phillip Hammond once noted, "a project of truly epic ambition."
Stretching from China into Europe and traversing the continents of Central Asia, Africa, and the Arctic, China uses the investments its state-owned banks and companies makes along the route of the BRI to deepen its access and influence on the world stage, particularly in the Global South. Chinese banks and corporations have made over $2 trillion in foreign direct investments since 2005. The Trump administration worked hard to brand these investments as part of a "predatory lending programme" or a "debt trap," but this claim has been widely refuted.
The prevailing view among scholars studying the BRI and how it fits into China's new globalism is that there is no such "debt trap," nor is China doing anything untoward to exploit the countries once its firms have invested. Research shows that China has never actually seized an asset from any country owing funds and that Chinese banks are willing to restructure the terms of existing loans. As such, the prevailing motivation behind the West's increasing desire to provide an alternative is to halt the spread of the 'China option.'
If that is the case, then the clock is ticking, and China has a clear first-mover advantage. Chinese companies have become more professional in their dealings overseas. Meanwhile, the governments of the countries within which Chinese entities focus their investments seem to find the alternative financial and legal institutions that are being set up in parallel to the Bretton Woods system, to handle BRI disputes, to be very appealing. Distinguishable by their informality, ad hoc design, and preference for soft law over systematic formal rules, whether China plans to align its terms and conditions with international (read: Americanised) best practices remains unclear.
Does China have a welfare system?
What are the Western alternatives to the BRI?
It might be too little too late to halt China's emergence in the Global South. It could be that there is just too much Chinese capital flowing through these emergent economies already, rendering the West's efforts to dissuade BRI countries from subscribing to China's offer of an "Asian model" of economic development a futile endeavour.
That said, the US-led, G7 B3W initiative plans to narrow the "$40 trillion in infrastructure investment that developing countries will need by 2035"; $2 trillion has already been committed by the US, with other G7 members currently considering their contributions. Compared to the infrastructure focus of the BRI, the B3W initiative targets areas such as climate health, digital technology, gender equity, and health security, and is heavily private sector-led.
Brussels, meanwhile, has announced the Global Gateway (GG), a spending plan that will see $300 billion directed at countering China's economic influence, predominantly across the African continent. Like B3W, GG is private sector-led and the text of the initiative specifies that it is about "rule of law, human rights, and international values."
Are these the 7 most influential people in China?
Where does the UK fit in?
The UK is a member of the G7, so presumably will transition its tacit support for the BRI to the US-led initiative, B3W. Foreign Secretary Elizabeth Truss has already indicated that she plans to align her department with the initiative's objectives. What this means for UK-China relations depends on how closely the Johnson cabinet seeks to align its departments with their counterparts in the Biden administration. Were the UK government to pursue a policy of exclusive alignment with B3W, that could create complications with China because the Department for International Trade and the National Development & Reform Commission still have a Memorandum of Understanding in place from the 2019 Economic & Financial Dialogue focussed on third market cooperation (Read: BRI).
While the British government has kept its cards close to its chest concerning B3W – which remains scant on detail – and has not revealed its formal intentions vis-à-vis aligning with America's vision, the UK and China reportedly plan to hold an economic and financial dialogue (EFD) in 2022, which could put pressure on the Johnson government to choose sides. Given that the UK and China have successfully delivered on almost all the outcomes agreed at the previous meeting, it is hard to see a palatable diplomatic exit ramp – for want of a better expression – for DIT to use should it want to extricate itself from further UK-China collaboration along the BRI. Ms. Truss has been far more hawkish towards China, however, so it will be up to the Prime Minister to bring the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office into alignment with DIT on further cooperation with China along the route. DIT, rather than the FCDO, currently coordinates the bulk of UK cooperation with China relating to the BRI.
What does the RCEP free trade agreement mean for foreign investors in China?
The CBBC View
The BRI could become awkward for Britain as it tries to juggle asserting itself as a prominent, global trading nation and being a determined defender of multilateralism and the rules-based order. British firms have done well through partnering with Chinese state-owned enterprises along the route, particularly in the built environment and financial and professional services sectors – as a result, the British and Chinese governments have managed to tick off all the policy outcomes relating to the BRI from the last EFD. The BRI differs substantially from the US and Europe's new offerings; it does not share their values-based approach for a start. Underlying the initiative is the idea that China is just as capable as the US in global leadership and governance – could cooperation along the route become the next area where the UK comes under pressure from the US and China to choose a side?

""What is that old children's rhyme, 'Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me'? Anyone who says that doesn't understand the power of words. they can cut deeper than any knife, hit harder than any fist, touch parts of you that nothing physical will ever reach, and the wounds that some words leave never heal, because each time the word is thrown at you, labeled on you, you bleed afresh from it. It's more like a whip that cuts every time, until you feel it must flay the very skin from your bones, and yet outwardly there is no wound to show the world, so they think you are not hurt, when inside part of you dies every time.""

Q: UIViewController stay active in background I use the following to open a new view controller
ViewController *mainMenu = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"mainview"];
[self.navigationController pushViewController:mainMenu animated:NO];

When the mainview is active on the screen the application still runs old view controller (methods) in the background.
How i can stop the old view controller from running or make it inactive?

A: If you mean that the view controller that was active before is still executing code, I'd suggest doing the following to remove it from view and execution before pushing:
ViewController *mainMenu = [self.storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"mainview"];
[self.navigationController popViewControllerAnimated: NO]; // Takes the old one away
[self.navigationController pushViewController:mainMenu animated:NO];

A: First, let's ask ourselves this: what kind of methods run on a view controller?
I'm going to categorize the methods that are part of a UIViewController subclass into 4 categories (though there's clearly overlap among these categories).

*

*Life-cycle methods.  These are methods such as viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear:, etc. that run as part of the view controller's life-cycle.  None of these methods should be running if the view is "in the background" other than, arguably, viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear: which are technically called before the view has come to the foreground, and viewDidDisappear: which is technically called just after the view has left the foreground.  So we don't really need to worry about these.

*Delegate methods.  Your view controller could delegate objects.  The delegate methods are called on your view controller whenever the object they're delegating calls them.  In the majority of the cases, we're talking about delegating some sort of UI element which is part of the view controller.  This UI element would be "in the background" any time the view controller is, so it shouldn't be calling delegate methods.

*NSTimer called methods.  NSTimer can keep a strong reference to an object, and keep that object alive until the fire time ticks over and it calls the specified method on that object.  These methods are certainly likely to be called even if the view controller is in the background, but if you want to stop the timer from running if the view controller's view isn't visible, then just invalidate it in viewDidDisappear:.

*Miscellaneous methods.  These methods don't necessarily into any of the above categories (though they could).  Most of the time these methods are called are from within the view controller themselves, so if nothing is being called from one of the first three categories, it will be rare that this category is called (unless the method is public).

So you've got methods running "in the background" on your view controller.  What category do they fall in?
If they're in the first category, then either you're calling a life-cycle method manually from somewhere (which I can't recommend against enough--there's no good reason to do this), or perhaps you don't understand the UIViewController life cycle.
If they're in the second category, then it's most likely good that they're being called.  If the Object A is being delegated by View Controller A and Object A is still working on some process and still requires delegation, then it's extraordinarily important that View Controller A is still responding to the delegation methods.  If you don't want this to happen, you need to stop Object A from requiring delegation.
If they're in the third category, invalidate your NSTimer objects when it's appropriate.  NSTimer doesn't just magically not do what you scheduled it to do.  You have to invalidate it in viewDidDisappear if you don't want it to call methods on the view controller when its view is not visible.
If they're in the fourth category, start by making sure you've not got public methods that you're calling manually from outside the view controller.  If you do, well stop calling them.  If you don't, go double check the first three categories.


Pursuant to Article 3 (2) of the current Act of 26 April 2007 on crisis management, critical infrastructure – shall be understood as systems and mutually bound functional objects contained therein, including constructions, facilities, installations and services of key importance for the security of the state and its citizens, as well as serving to ensure efficient functioning of public administration authorities, institutions and enterprises.

I write because I see that you update the game constantly making it great. But for that reason I was surprised that you did not give compatibility to the only joystick licensed by Sony, the HOTAS 4.
There are already several games in VR that have made compatible with updates (EVE Valkyrie and Starblood Arena) and the immersion of game increases a lot.
I hope you can add the compatibility with the HOTAS 4 for those of us so we can disguise even more of the Battlezone.
I like to follow up the issue Beldar raised month ago.
Although the PC version of the game seemd to work with the Hotas 4 the PS4 version still doesn't.
Is there any development foreseen in near future? It is such a pity I can not use my Hotas just bought for this certain game for my PS4.
BTW, I love the game!
Hi guys, apologies for not replying sooner. I can't promise anything regarding the HOTAS 4 but we'll certainly look into it.
Nobody wants to be moist.
Yes, Hotas 4 support would be very much appreciated.
There is now growing momentum for Hotas 4 on PSVR because of Ultrawings adding support and Ace Combat 7. And of course once you acquire a Hotas you start looking for, and buying, games that support it.
Given existing support for Hotas on PC it would seem a proportion of the necessary legwork has already been done.
Thanks for the feedback. We are definitely planning to investigate HOTAS 4 at some point but unfortunately the PC implementation isn't that easy to port, since it relies on Direct Input and has to account for fully-customisable control schemes.
Good to hear its still in consideration. Again fingers crossed.
I am sure you guys are on to the next thing. Games seem to have such a short lifespan these days unfortunately.
Though firewall zero hour is the hot multi-player game of the moment, some of us prefer vehicle type games and got into these games a little later. I'd just like to add a voice to those requesting HOTAS 4 support for Battlezone.
It works very well in other games and would completely change the experience for Battlezone.
I know I'm late to the game, but figured I'd throw it out there that people still love and play this game.
Is FLARE basically pointless to have in the game?
Suggestions for the next update.
