Today we'll continue are series on having a New Focus in life and continue also in working through the topics found in the Class on the Stayed Mind and the Peace of God. Today our focus is Persistence in Prayer, and that is a great field; it is something we cover from time to time, but it is something we can't remind ourselves enough of too much. We know that people persist in their business goals, they persist in their financial goals, they persist in their fitness and weight loss goals; if they're studying, they persist in keeping the their GPA up to a level they want; this their working in a job they persist in trying to get the next promotion, if they have raising their level of sales. It is good to have goals and work hard and focus. But somethings we get so wrapped up in these things, we forget to simply persist in prayer and be determined to not give up.
Today, we'll read about Moses, Elijah, Jesus Christ, and the apostle Paul who persisted in prayer. Many times Jesus Christ would simply command something and their would be an immediate result, other times it took some determination, a little more prayer and extra effort. And we know from our lives, that sometimes we pray once for twenty seconds and we see God's deliverance right away and other times, we may have to pray for a year. But then, finally, when the time is right, your believing is there, you're ready for it, other people involved are cooperating — then God comes through. But either way, God always comes through. Let's start in Luke chapter 18.

Franz Schreker
born on 23/3/1878 in Monaco
died on 21/3/1934 in Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Franz Schreker (originally Schrecker; 23 March 1878 – 21 March 1934) was an Austrian composer, conductor, teacher and administrator.[1] Primarily a composer of operas, Schreker developed a style characterized by aesthetic plurality (a mixture of Romanticism, Naturalism, Symbolism, Impressionism, Expressionism and Neue Sachlichkeit), timbral experimentation, strategies of extended tonality and conception of total music theatre into the narrative of 20th-century music.
Schreker was born in Monaco, the eldest son of the Bohemian Jewish court photographer Ignaz Schrecker, and his wife, Eleonore von Clossmann, who was a member of the Catholic aristocracy of Styria. He grew up during travels across half of Europe and, after the early death of his father, the family moved from Linz to Vienna (1888) where in 1892, with the help of a scholarship, Schreker entered the Vienna Conservatory. Starting with violin studies, with Sigismund Bachrich and Arnold Rosé,[2][3] he moved into the composition class of Robert Fuchs, graduating as a composer in 1900. His first success was with the Intermezzo for strings, Op. 8, which won an important prize sponsored by the Neue musikalische Presse in 1901. After graduating from the conservatory he spent several years taking various bread-and-butter jobs. His first opera, Flammen, was completed in 1902 but failed to receive a staged production.
Schreker had begun conducting in 1895, when he had founded the Verein der Musikfreunde Döbling. In 1907 he formed the Vienna Philharmonic Chorus, which he conducted until 1920: among its many premières were Zemlinsky's Psalm XXIII and Schoenberg's Friede auf Erden and Gurre-Lieder.
His "pantomime", Der Geburtstag der Infantin, commissioned by the dancer Grete Wiesenthal and her sister Elsa for the opening of the 1908 Kunstschau, first called attention to his development as a composer. Such was the success of the venture that Schreker composed several more dance-related works for the two sisters including Der Wind, Valse lente and Ein Tanzspiel (Rokoko).
Success in opera
November 1909 saw the stormy premiere of the complex orchestral interlude (entitled Nachtstück) from Der ferne Klang, the opera he had been working on since 1903. In 1912, the first performance of the complete opera in Frankfurt consolidated his fame. In the same year, director Wihelm Bopp offered Schreker a provisional teaching appointment at the Conservatory where Schreker had studied, now the Vienna Music Academy. In early 1913 he was appointed full professor.[4]
This breakthrough heralds a decade of great success for the composer. His next opera, Das Spielwerk und die Prinzessin, which was given simultaneous premières in Frankfurt and Vienna on 15 March 1913 was less well received (the work was subsequently revised as a one-act 'Mysterium' entitled simply Das Spielwerk in 1915), but the scandal caused by this opera in Vienna only served to make Schreker's name more widely known.
The outbreak of World War I interrupted the composer's success but with the première of his opera Die Gezeichneten, in Frankfurt on 25 April 1918, Schreker moved to the front ranks of contemporary opera composers.[5] The first performance of Der Schatzgräber in Frankfurt on 21 January 1920 was the high point of his career. The Chamber Symphony, composed between the two operas for the faculty of the Vienna Academy in 1916, quickly entered the repertoire and remains Schreker's most frequently performed work today.
In March 1920 he was appointed director of the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin and between 1920 and 1932 he gave extensive musical tuition in a variety of subjects with Berthold Goldschmidt, Alois Hába, Jascha Horenstein, Julius Bürger, Ernst Krenek, Artur Rodziński, Stefan Wolpe, Zdenka Ticharich and Grete von Zieritz numbering among his students.
End of career
Schreker's fame and influence were at their peak during the early years of the Weimar Republic when he was the most performed living opera composer after Richard Strauss. The decline of his artistic fortunes began with the mixed reception given to Irrelohe in Cologne in 1924 under Otto Klemperer and the failure of Der singende Teufel, given in Berlin in 1928 under Erich Kleiber.
Political developments and the spread of anti-Semitism were also contributory factors, both of which heralded the end of Schreker's career. Right-wing demonstrations marred the première of Der Schmied von Gent in Berlin in 1932 and National Socialist pressure forced the cancellation of the scheduled Freiburg première of Christophorus in 1933 (the work was finally performed there in 1978). Finally, in June 1932, Schreker lost his position as Director of the Musikhochschule in Berlin and, the following year, also his post as professor of composition at the Akademie der Künste.
In his lifetime he went from being hailed as the future of German opera to being considered irrelevant as a composer and marginalized as an educator.[1] After suffering from a stroke in December 1933, he died in Berlin on 21 March 1934, two days before his 56th birthday.
Although Schreker was influenced by composers such as Richard Strauss and Richard Wagner, his mature style shows a highly individual harmonic language, which, although broadly tonal, is inflected with chromatic and polytonal passages.
Reputation today
After decades in obscurity, Schreker has begun to enjoy a considerable revival in reputation in the German-speaking world and in the United States. In 2005 the Salzburg Festival mounted an incomplete production of Die Gezeichneten, conducted by Kent Nagano (and filmed), and the Jewish Museum in Vienna presented an exhibition devoted to his life and work. New productions of Der ferne Klang were staged at the Staatsoper Unter den Linden in Berlin and the Zurich Opera in 2010, as well as in smaller opera houses in Germany. Irrelohe was performed at the Volksoper in Vienna in 2004 and again at the Bonn Opera in November 2010. Earlier that year a Schreker opera was staged in the USA for the first time: Die Gezeichneten at Los Angeles Opera; and months after that came a second: Der ferne Klang during the Bard Summerscape Festival.

As you may have noticed late last week I posted a review on our new gerbil cage and I'm happy to report that things are going well. The gerbils are still thriving and are now getting used to being handled and cuddled. They are still quite young so have been a little nervous, one more than the other, and have found the girls' voices startling at times (I empathise with them there)! They are very active too, often at night which as surprised me so I think for now they'll need to stay downstairs. Although our intention was that they could move up to Miss E's room once they had settled in, the noise they made last night at 3am won't go down well in a 9 year old's bedroom. Gnawing on things like these Feedem animal feedsticks is one thing but chewing on a noisy plastic wheel is another.
So this whole new experience has me thinking about how pets, or even our little gerbils could affect the value of our homes and if so, should that matter.
Apparently pets can devalue your home so you need to ensure you look after them and your home a little more if you have them. No potential buyer wants to enter your home to the heady aroma of cat urine or stale gerbil bedding. You don't need to leave urine stains on the carpet or pet beds out in the open when you're trying to sell your house.
A few years ago now before children, we owned two cats and had to sell a ground floor flat where they lived. We took advice from the estate agent and ensured they were out for the day, and then went about removing any evidence of them. It was particularly important, we were told, to remove their food bowls and any old food, as well as their beds. It's highly likely that as pet owners we get used to the smells that these objects bring, and we love our pets so we don't worry about them too much either. But many potential buyers won't be a pet owner or even an animal lover so you could be doing yourself a disservice by leaving this kind of 'evidence' in the home when you're trying to sell it.
This article from Time magazine even goes so far as to suggest we can add a 'negative resale value' on to the cost of owning a pet, which can already amount to thousands for a dog.
So should we be worried? Well I think not to be honest. As long as we look after our homes whilst the pets live there too, keeping the floors and upholstery as clean as possible, and ensure we can remove traces and smells from the home when we come to sell. And it won't put everyone off. Even ferrets kept in landing cupboards, and cats throughout the house won't put an enthusiastic buyer from buying a house if it's what they really want. It's just worth bearing in mind that it may devalue your property if you don't look after it and do what you can to minimise the damage pets can cause.
I'm going to take a piece of my own advice and ensure the girls keep the gerbils cage spotless and clean to avoid any unpleasant smells in the house. That way it can't build up or put anyone off. Pets are a wonderful way to engage children, to encourage their nurturing side and show them the cycle of life as well as responsiblity for others. This has it's own value, that outweighs anything else I think. And for now we're happy hunting for toys and treats at Feedem.co.uk in the hope they stay well and healthy for a few more years to come.
For me my pets are the ones which keep me going, whenever I am down with something or some problems creeps in, its my pets who bring to me the solace. Thanks for the share.

The theory that nature can recharge minds depleted by harsh urban environments is not new, but only recently has the theory been scientifically tested. Thanks to portable EEG' measuring brain activity unobtrusively, researchers at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh and the University of Edinburgh were able to measure the brain patterns of 12 volunteers as they walked through three different sections of Edinburgh over the course of an hour and a half.
The findings confirmed previous ideas on how the surrounding physical environment affects the brain's attentiveness.
Natural environments still engage the brain, say researchers, holding our attention while simultaneously allowing for reflection.

'Sniff test' explained as Morrisons scraps milk 'use by' dates
HSBC bank launches the 'no fixed address' bank account - here's everything you need to know
By Rhona Shennan
This is everything you need to know about the 'no fixed address' service from HSBC (Photo: Shutterstock)
For the first time, not having a fixed address won't prevent you from being able to open a bank account, thanks to a new bank account from HSBC.
This is everything you need to know about the 'no fixed address' service from the UK bank.
'No fixed address' account
In partnership with Shelter, a UK charity dedicated to helping people struggling with bad housing or homelessness, HSBC has launched a new bank account. It's called the No Fixed Address Service and it's a specialist service available in selected branches.
Through this scheme, people without ID or a fixed address can gain access to a bank account.
Shelter CEO Polly Neate said, "It's hard enough if you're homeless, living day-to-day on the streets in the freezing cold or trapped with your children in a grotty hostel, but not having a bank account can make life even tougher.
"That's why Shelter is pleased to work with HSBC UK on this game-changing product. Having a bank account not only allows people who are homeless to receive wages and claim benefits, but it also gives them their independence back."
Maxine Pritchard, Head of Financial Inclusion and Vulnerability at HSBC UK said: "At HSBC UK we're committed to offering support to those who would otherwise be excluded from banking. No-one in today's society should be without a bank account and it's up to financial organisations to make banking more accessible.
"Opening a bank account can give homeless people a true sense of independence. Not only is it required in order to receive benefits and wages, but it's also a secure mechanism for looking after their money rather than having pockets of cash, which makes them vulnerable."
People who may have previously struggled to open an account can now do so when accompanied to an HSBC UK branch by their Shelter caseworker.
The HSBC website outlines the following steps:
Firstly, if you have internet access, visit the Shelter website or the website of the charity that is supporting this scheme where you're based. If you don't have access to this information, you can visit an HSBC UK branch and ask a member of staff for help.
Next, a representative from Shelter (or other charity, such as Crisis) will help to arrange the support required.
Once you've received this support and an account has been opened, any correspondence from HSBC UK will be sent to the local charity address, which includes:
Bank cardsPIN notificationsOther updates

Teacher Retires After Three Decades
Published: May 9, 20188:09 pm Updated: May 10, 20185:34 am
Spanish teacher, Becky Yates, will say adios after teaching 25 years at Mansfield Schools. Yates plans to retire after the 2018 school year.
Yates is originally from Memphis, Tennessee. She attended Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, AR. It was the same university her parents attended and also where she met her husband, Donald Yates. The couple married and moved to Fort Smith to find employment at Rheem and Whirlpool. A few years later they both decided to go back to school and enrolled at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville. During this time they became new parents and the young family was in financial strain. "We made by on loans and scholarships," Yates said.
Yates graduated magna cum laude with a B.S.E. degree and a double major in English and Spanish. "I was drawn to Spanish because I had worked with the Cuban refugees who were stationed at Fort Chaffee in 1980," Yates said. After graduation, she worked as a teacher in Oklahoma and in New Jersey. When they returned to this area, she got a job teaching at Cedarville High School. In 1993 Mansfield wanted to add Spanish to their curriculum. They contacted Yates about applying for the position. Initially the district planned for her to teach both English and Spanish. That was short-lived, however, as high enrollment called for her to teach the foreign language full time. In 2001 Yates received her Masters Degree in ESL from ATU. She has added teaching English to non-native speakers over the past few years. 2018 marks Yates 30th year of teaching, with 25 of those being at Mansfield Schools.
Her husband, Donald, is the owner of Yates Engineering Services, and does industrial electrical design all over the United States. Also, he is a Mansfield alumnus from the class of 1974. Together they have two sons, Jeremy and Justin. Both are MHS graduates and are married to hometown alumni. Jeremy and Andrea Yates live in Bentonville. He is the Assistant Principal at Bentonville West, and she is a Speech Pathologist in an elementary school. They have two children. Justin is a fire protection and safety engineer who works for Cinncinnati Insurance, and his wife, Tarah, works as a director for another insurance company. They have recently moved to Bentonville, and they have one son.
In addition to teaching Spanish, Yates has been the Language Arts Department Head, Student Council Sponsor, Foreign Language Club sponsor, and district Teacher of the Year. She developed and served as sponsor of the Model United Nations program for 20 years. Professionally, she has served the last decade as a Pathwise mentor for many new Mansfield teachers.
"I have been proud and honored to be a teacher here, and there is no doubt that I will miss my students," Yates said. "They continue each day to delight and surprise me." Yates added that she has taught well over 3,000 students. "I am now teaching the children of my former students. My greatest hope is that I have made a positive contribution to their lives." Yates said her goals have always been to bring her students an understanding and appreciation of different cultures, languages, peoples, and open up the world around them. Additionally, she said it was her hope that her students realize "that we all are more alike than different, and to treat each other with kindness, dignity, and respect."
Yates concluded that she will miss her co-workers and administrators. "The Mansfield community is fortunate to have so many caring, selfless educators teaching their children. They do not hesitate to go the extra mile for them, and they truly care for the kids. I am witness to this commitment each and every day. Together we have shared the good times and the bad, and they have always been so supportive of me. I want to especially thank my principals, Dr. Jim Best and Tina Smith, who have allowed me the freedom to teach to the very best of my ability. I also want to thank the people of the Mansfield School district for giving me the opportunity to be your children's teacher. It has been a great joy for me to be a part of their lives and a part of this community for so long."
Upon retirement, Yates will be helping to care for her family and spend more time with her grandchildren. Yates said she and her husband plan to continue traveling, and exploring new places together. "My sister in law is from France, and I would like to visit there with her as well." In addition to the travel she has some new project ideas. "I do not know what the future holds, but I do know that the Good Lord has promised us that He has plans for us, plans for our good with a future full of hope, so I look forward to what He has in store for me," Yates concluded.

Pop Bits: The Texas band got their second Pop Top 10 hit with "Sleeping Bag," the lead single from their ninth studio album Afterburner. They kept things rolling with this next single that nearly made the Pop Top 20. It would do much better at Rock where like "Sleeping Bag" it hit #1. The album would end up being the highest peaking of their career getting to #4, but in the long run their 1983 album Eliminator, which peaked at #9, would sell twice as much moving over 10 million copies vs. 5 million for Afterburner.
ReduxReview: I think with the massive success of Eliminator, the band was probably pressured to push out a similar album with even more of a commercial punch. They accomplished it with Afterburner, which had a good run of singles, but it certainly wasn't the ZZ Top of the blues-rock La Grange era. This song demonstrates that more than anything they had done. The tune was the most pop-oriented the band had ever recorded. It was as slick and polished as hits by Eddie Money or 38 Special with nary a hint of their brand of blues. Critics weren't all that hep to it, but I actually liked it. I thought the band did a good job of trying to incorporate their sound into something more mainstream. Yeah, they lose a bit of their identity, but I liked the effort and thought it was better than the goofy "Sleeping Bag."
Trivia: Another track on the Afterburner album, "Can't Stop Rockin'," was not released as a single, but it picked up enough radio airplay to send the song to #8 on the Rock chart. The song would later be picked up for use in the 1993 superhero/comedy flick Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III. The live action move would use a mix of animatronics and suited actors. Because of this, actors were hired to supply the voices. Former 80s teen star Corey Feldman did the voice of Donatello, which was a reprisal of what he did on the first Ninja film. The part of Michelangelo was voiced by Robbie Rist, who had done the part in the previous two films. Some folks familiar with the 70s sitcom The Brady Bunch may remember Rist. He portrayed cousin Oliver in the last season of the show. After the show ended, Rist continued to act in TV shows and a few films. He also became a musician and has performed with many bands. His bread 'n' butter these days seems to be voice over work. In addition to the Ninja trilogy, Rist has supplied voices for numerous animated TV shows, films, and video games.

Does this mean you are shutting down Eclipse Foundation-US?
Does this mean you are shutting down Eclipse Foundation Europe GmbH?

How can I support this move to Europe?
Q. What is the Eclipse Foundation?
The Eclipse Foundation is an independent nonprofit corporation based in Brussels. The Foundation provides a global community of individuals and organizations with a mature, scalable, and business-friendly environment for open source software collaboration and innovation. The Foundation is home to the Eclipse IDE, Jakarta EE, and over 375 and growing open source projects, including runtimes, tools, and frameworks for many technology areas, including:
cloud and edge applications,
the Internet of Things,
artificial intelligence,
systems engineering,
distributed ledger technologies, and
open processor designs.
The Eclipse Foundation is supported by over 300 members, including industry leaders who have embraced open source as a key enabler for their business strategies.
Q. What are its main goals?
The Eclipse Foundation exists to advance open source projects and to cultivate communities and business ecosystems around the globe. The Foundation provides four key services to the Eclipse community:
Vendor-neutral governance and processes,
Intellectual property (IP) management and licensing,
Ecosystem development and marketing, and
IT infrastructure.
Open source innovation will drive the technological solutions expected to transform the global economy. The Eclipse Foundation strives to enable these solutions by being the leading community for individuals and organizations to collaborate on commercially-friendly open source, for the benefit of industries and developer communities worldwide.
Q. Why has the Eclipse Foundation moved to Europe?
The move of the corporate governance of Eclipse Foundation to Europe has been done to provide global stakeholders more choice for their strategic open source initiatives. We believe that more choice and greater diversity will be of benefit to both the global open source communities, and for the industries that rely upon and collaborate with them. The Eclipse Foundation aspires to be a truly global institution, now with a new European home.
To an extent, this move is merely confirmation of the Foundation's current reality and global growth trajectory. The Eclipse Foundation is already the largest open source organization in Europe as measured in staff, projects, developers, and members. One hundred seventy members and over nine hundred committers are based in Europe and we have operated our subsidiary Eclipse Foundation Europe GmbH for more than seven years.
Q. What does the Eclipse Foundation hope to achieve with its move to Europe?
By moving to Europe, we aim to advance open source projects that can transform the global economy, for the benefit of industries and developer communities worldwide. The free flow of software innovation is critical to economic activity in all countries, in all industry sectors. From our new base in Europe, we will accelerate the growth of a global, sustainable ecosystem with a competitive and level playing field that delivers broad benefits to developers and industry.
Q. How does open source contribute to the global economy?
Open source innovation is crucial for the advancement of new technologies across multiple industries, thus a key factor in the continued growth of the global economy. The open source model — how it is developed, shared, and used — is central to technological innovation and digitalization in many industry sectors including transportation, logistics, healthcare, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, energy, manufacturing, and more. These industries rely upon a global supply chain of open source software which fuels their growth, innovation, and digitalization strategies. Enterprises and industrials around the world are fueling the next wave of open source adoption and, in turn, contributing to economic activity and business growth. To sustain open source and thus economies across the world, open source foundations are necessary to provide core capabilities like legal and intellectual property assurance, vendor-neutral governance, trademark stewardship for projects, and more.
Q. What does the Eclipse Foundation offer its members?
Membership in the Eclipse Foundation allows businesses and developers the opportunity to participate in a global, community-driven open ecosystem. Organizations and individuals join the Eclipse Foundation because they want to take an active role in supporting sustainable, commercializable open source technologies. In doing so, they protect their strategic investments by participating in defining priorities for advancing the technologies they care about, while sharing costs and driving industry adoption.
Our members value our unique governance model and processes. In particular, Eclipse Foundation Working Groups provide an open and vendor-neutral governance framework for individuals and organizations to engage in collaborative development to deliver high quality, scalable, and sustainable code that enterprises can use to build commercial products, grow revenues and drive market adoption. Through our Eclipse Development Process we offer members a set of best practices that guide developers during the process of starting and advancing open source projects. Members also benefit from our legal and intellectual property management processes, which enable them to fully comply with antitrust laws, and provide legal assurance that they can successfully embed open source technology into their commercial products.
Q. What does this move mean for members of the Foundation?
As part of the move, we have created a new membership-based, open source, nonprofit foundation legally domiciled in Europe with policies and procedures allowing seamless international collaboration. Specifically, we have created a Belgian international not-for-profit association, Eclipse Foundation AISBL, domiciled in Brussels. In parallel, we have established a modern open source project development forge based on GitLab and physically hosted in Europe.
The Eclipse and Eclipse Foundation names, trademarks, and brands will be controlled by the new European entity, as will the core policies such as antitrust and intellectual property. Our membership dues are stated in Euros. The existing Eclipse Foundation, Inc., incorporated under the laws of Delaware, continues to exist, and the two organizations' operations continue to be managed with operations split between Canada and Europe. In short, there will be minimal to no impact to our operations.
Q. What does this move mean for project committers and contributors?
The short version is: keep doing what you're doing. In the near-term, it will be "business as usual" for committers and contributors of Eclipse projects. Over time, projects that would like to use the European-domiciled GitLab-based forge are welcome to migrate their projects. We remain committed to communicating with our project committers and contributors before implementing any changes to our operations.
As we expand our presence in Europe, we anticipate new opportunities for our global community members to participate in innovative new open source projects.
Q. What does this move mean for European stakeholders?
European policy makers and industry leaders alike recognize the need to pool their strengths to achieve collectively what they could not individually, and have identified open source as a key mechanism to support this via collaboration, innovation and interoperability.
Open technologies are at the center of digitalization and will play an important role in driving the digital and industrial transformations called for by the European Commission in its recent strategies.
To realize these ambitions and ensure the long term prosperity, Europe requires its own open source foundation with an international reach and reputation. By moving our legal residence to Europe, the Eclipse Foundation seeks contributions from a broad cross-section of European companies and governmental organizations to open source projects.
Q. What does this move mean for global stakeholders?
This move will provide global stakeholders more choice for their strategic open source initiatives. We believe that more choice and greater diversity will be of benefit to the global open source communities, and for the industries that rely upon and collaborate with them. The Eclipse Foundation aspires to be a truly global institution, now with a new European home. As one of the world's largest open source foundations, the Eclipse Foundation is proud to host a global community of dedicated contributors, committers, and leading companies across industry sectors.
Our goal is to accelerate the growth of an already broad and expanding open ecosystem of developers, organizations, and public sector entities collaborating to advance technologies that are expected to have a major impact on global economies, including the cloud, edge computing, artificial intelligence, connected vehicles, telecommunications, and the Internet of Things.
We expect that this move will further foster the growth of a global, sustainable ecosystem with a competitive and level playing field that delivers broad benefits to developers and industry. In this way, we see the move offering increased global collaboration opportunities for organizations from all around the world.
Q. Does this mean you are shutting down Eclipse Foundation-USA?
No, there is no current intention to shut down our USA incorporated not-for-profit organization.
Q. Does this mean you are shutting down Eclipse Foundation Europe GmbH?
No, there is no current intention to shut down our German incorporated for-profit subsidiary.
Q. Does the Eclipse Foundation have a patent policy?
Yes. Under the Eclipse Public License (EPL), each Contributor grants rights to create derivative works and for worldwide, royalty-free software redistribution in accordance with the EPL terms, including a royalty-free license to use Contributor's patents as embodied in its contributions. Under the Eclipse Foundation Specification Process (EFSP) used for creating open industry specifications such as Jakarta EE, royalty-free patent licenses are granted to all implementations of the specifications published.
You can find more information about Eclipse Foundation's patent policy here. Further information about our intellectual property policy is also available here. Additional details about the EFSP can be found here.
Q. How can I support this move to Europe?
We need the ongoing support and engagement of European developers, community leaders, companies and funding agencies in order to ensure a successful transition. For more information and how to get involved, email eclipse-europe@eclipse.org.

EU referendum: Barack Obama says no to UK-US trade deal after Brexit | City A.M.
Barack Obama has shot down the idea that Britain could strike up a trade deal with the United States if it votes to leave the European Union on 23 June.
In his controversial speech outlining his support for Britain's membership of the EU, the President attacked Leave campaigners who have claim they know how the US would behave if the UK votes for Brexit.
Maybe there'll be a trade deal somewhere down the line. But it's not going to happen anytime soon because our focus is on negotiating with a big bloc of the European Union.
The UK's going to be at the back of the queue. Because given the heavy lift on any trade agreement ... trying to do piecemeal trade agreements is hugely inefficient.
The President said he wanted the UK to stay in the EU as he wants Britain - and David Cameron - to have a strong voice at the top table of world affairs.
If right now I've got access to a massive market where I sell 44 per cent of my exports and now I'm thinking about leaving the organisation that gives me access to that market and that is responsible for millions of jobs in my country and responsible for an enormous amount of commerce and upon which a lot of businesses depend ... that's not something I'd probably do.

I had great fun recently teaching some introductory glass working skills at the Canberra Glassworks. The colourful results of the day, ready for fusing in the kiln, can be seen below.
There are a number of great glass courses available to try, with enrollment available through the CIT Centre for Short Courses.


The author calls his new mindset "lostology" (the study of lost-ness and seeking the lost), and uses examples from his own life and the Bible to help us get away from the seminary courses and toward actually reaching out to people around us.
Being lost can be fun.
You don't always know you're lost.
Asking for directions is embarrassing.
In church since I was in utero, it's easy for me to forget that others don't have the same foundations of understanding that I have. Phrases like "Jacob and Esau", "Paul and Silas", "that passage in Corinthians where…" won't mean anything to my non-Christian friends.
Likewise, we in the church think of those outside as miserable, and obviously in need of a change. But lots of unbelievers have found something else to fill their lives, and go along happy and oblivious to their spiritual needs. For these people, it's useless to throw blanket statements like, "Jesus has the answer!" or "Do you want to be happy forever? Jesus!" when they're not actually asking any questions or feeling unsatisfied with their current life. (Vessels of Honor did a wonderful job illustrating this in a fictional work.) The Holy Spirit must work on their hearts first, before anything we say will make sense.
The book focuses on evangelism as "search and rescue" work, heading out into a dark world to bring spiritual directions to the lost. But sometimes there are good and bad ways to share these directions.
Ever asked for directions and gotten the "you're so stupid" eye-roll? Even if you didn't get the eye-roll, did it feel like everyone nearby was doing it internally?
Lost people are not stupid — they're just lost. We were once as lost as they were. They need a map, not a lecture.
The author pulls Biblical examples from the parables and Jesus' interactions with people. While talking to the Samaritan woman, Jesus didn't make snide comments or talk over her head. He let her know He understood exactly where she was hurting, and told her honestly what she needed to be healed.
In the parable of the prodigal son, when the son finally comes to his senses and heads home, the father doesn't say, "I told you so." He hugs his son and celebrates, because he loves him.
I work in retail, and sometimes I feel like throttling the next person who asks, "Do you work here?" while staring at my company-emblazoned smock. But Jesus in me leads me to smile, and respond in kindness and patience. They just need directions to get on the right track.
Another important point that encouraged me was the idea of building bridges. Shoving tracts into someone's hand and walking away might be easier. But investing in people's lives, developing trust, and establishing yourself as someone reliable – with reliable answers – is the method most evangelism has been done over the centuries. Jesus genuinely loves and cares about the people around us — we should do the same.
The book is well-organized, with lots of lists and bold section breaks for easy reading. The author also has an easy style and quiet, frequently self-deprecating humor.
While there wasn't as much heavy referencing of Bible verses as I might have expected, the lessons felt very Biblically grounded, pulling from Jesus' and the disciples' relationships with the lost, and foundational Christian principles.
As always, the chapters about getting out into the community and making friends with non-Christians were scary and challenging. However, there was a lot of encouragement and advice in this book as well.
If a little boy was lost in the woods near your house, wouldn't you go out and help search for him? Especially if there were bears in the woods? Especially if it was your boy?
Maybe one day I will have the same passion to search for the spiritually lost around me as I would for a lost child. When that happens, I'll know it's all the work of God.

The toilet includes the toilet seat and a water dispenser.
The toilet seat is specially designed for separation of excreta fractions. Filings are used to cover faeces if needed.
Faeces are collected in a stainless steel box and then removed to composting tanks. Urine is collected in 15-liter tanks behind the toilet building.
For convenience of men, a urinal is also provided. To demonstrate possibilities of low-cost solutions, the urinal is made of a cheap plastic bottle, instead of using a manufactured one.
The urine is being kept for three months and then is applied as a fertilizer in the garden, kitchen-garden and on lawns, being diluted in water in 1:10 ratio.
Two different types of composting tanks are tested on the site – plastic and concrete ones. The plastic facility provides ingress of air through openings on its side, and a special pipe is used for this purpose in the concrete tank.
The sites are the basis for promotion of ecosanitation technologies in single-family country houses among residents of villages, gardening communities, and other rural settlements.
All toilet "visitors" – members of the family and all their guests and neighbors can read in the toilet the leaflet about its mission and functioning.
Media work includes interviews and media visit to the demonstration sites.
Information on eco-toilets is presented at the public demonstration & educational centre Ecocentrum. We demonstrate it to all visitors: students, teachers, municipal specialists, NGO activists, ordinary citizens.
The idea and first experiences were presented and discussed at the NGO round table.
Guided tours to the demonstration sites are of high interest for dacha owners.

Zoom stock surges, market value tops Boeing, Starbucks
FILE - This April 18, 2019, file photo shows a sign for Zoom Video Communications ahead of the company's Nasdaq IPO in New York. Zooms videoconferencing service is deepening its integral role in life during the coronavirus pandemic as tens of thousands more businesses and other users pay for subscriptions to get more control over their virtual meetings. The surge in paying customers enabled Zoom to hail another quarter of astounding growth in a report released Monday, Aug. 31, 2020. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, File) (Copyright 2019 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.)
NEW YORK – A Zoom call has become an integral part of daily life during the coronavirus pandemic. On Tuesday, Wall Street acknowledged as much by boosting the videoconferencing company's market value above that of more established companies such as Citigroup, Boeing and Starbucks.
Zoom shares rose 40.8% to $457.69, pushing its market value to more than $129 billion, after the company reported explosive growth during the second quarter as more people paid for subscriptions, giving them more control over virtual meetings. Zoom's revenue more than quadrupled from the same time last year to $663.5 million and profits blew past Wall Street forecasts.
At the current level, Zoom's market value exceeds the combined value of two storied automakers, General Motors and Ford, and is more than double the aggregate value of the nation's four biggest airlines.
The company is one of the key beneficiaries of the virus pandemic as more people log on to its videoconferencing service to work from home.
In a show of confidence, Zoom raised its revenue projection for its fiscal year ending in January to nearly $2.4 billion, up from roughly $1.8 billion that the San Jose, California, company predicted in early June. The forecast is now more than double the $910 million revenue that Zoom had anticipated as it began its fiscal year.
J.P. Morgan, in a note to investors, said the quarter was both ïmpressive" and "unprecedented" as it showed strong customer retention and solid growth from customers with more than $100,000 in revenue.
But, the company also reported a rise in customers with less than 10 employees. Those customers now account for 36% of revenue, according to J.P. Morgan. That is the riskiest customer segment and could mean a pull back in revenue once COVID-19 becomes less of a threat and more people return to offices.

Opera 36 (based on Chromium 49) for Mac, Windows, Linux is out! To find out what's new for users, see our Desktop blog. Here's what it means for web developers.
For more information, see "Parameter handling in ES6" or check out the demo.
Check out the demo for more examples.
Proxy objects can be used to define custom behavior for fundamental operations such as property lookup, assignment, enumeration, function invocation, etc.
The Reflect API offers imperative methods for invoking, examining or modifying values at runtime, and is very useful for working with Proxies.
Read "ES2015 proxies" for more information on both Proxy and Reflect.
const, let, class, and function now follow the proper ES6 semantics even in sloppy (i.e. non-strict) mode.
In HTML and XML/XHTML, only the first paragraph gets a green background. In HTML, all paragraphs are underlined, but in XML/XHTML only the first is underlined.
Note that the i flag only affects the case of matching the attribute value; not the attribute name or anything else.
The Web Audio API defines IIRFilterNode, which is an AudioNode processor implementing a general IIR filter. Once created, the coefficients of the IIR filter cannot be changed, and no automation functions are allowed.
Additionally, Chromium now supports suspend() and resume() methods on OfflineAudioContext instances.
AudioContext.prototype.decodeAudioData now returns a Promise<AudioBuffer> that is resolved when decoding the audio data is finished. This is in addition to the existing callbacks, which are now optional.
It is now possible to trigger navigation from a service worker using the navigate() method on a WindowClient instance. Check out the demo.
The 'navigate' request mode as defined in the Fetch API specification is now supported. Check out the "custom offline page" service worker demo where this is being used.
Additionally, FetchEvent.prototype.clientId is now implemented. This read-only property returns the ID of the Client that the current service worker is controlling. The Clients.get() method can then be passed this ID to retrieve the associated client.
To convert a DOMHighResTimeStamp value to an absolute number of milliseconds since the epoch (e.g., to get a value to pass to the Date() constructor), use performance.timing.navigationStart + event.timeStamp.
The URLSearchParams API defines helper methods for working with the query string of a URL (i.e. everything after ?). A demo is available.
You may be familiar with <a rel=noreferrer>, which prevents sending the Referer HTTP header and sets window.opener to null when following a link.
If you only want to disable window.opener but still send the Referer header, you can now use rel=noopener. Note that this is only needed for links that open a new navigation context, i.e. target="_blank".
Why would you want to do this? Well, if window.opener is set, a page can trigger a navigation in the opener regardless of origin, which is a potential security risk. Check out the demo for a more elaborate explanation.
Check out the demo for more information..
Sniffly is a timing attack to sniff browser history. One of its variants was based on a clever trick combining CSP and HSTS. In response, the CSP matching algorithm was updated to make insecure schemes in source expressions match their secure variants. That is, http: is now equivalent to http: https:, and http://example.com to http://example.com https://example.com. Likewise, 'self' now matches https and wss variants of the page's origin, even on pages whose scheme is http.
The Secure Contexts specification lists the Geolocation API as an example of an API that should only be available over secure contexts such as HTTPS. As of Chromium 49, the Geolocation API won't work over insecure contexts anymore. If you need to use Geolocation, use HTTPS.
Support for the Pointer Lock API's prefixed event properties MouseEvent.prototype.webkitMovementX and MouseEvent.prototype.webkitMovementY has been removed. Use the standardized versions, i.e. MouseEvent.prototype.movementX and MouseEvent.prototype.movementY, instead.
Support for the <keygen> HTML element has been removed. See the intent to deprecate mail for some background on this decision.
The presence of getComputedStyle(element).css* (except for .cssFloat) is non-standard behavior, so support for it has been removed. Use getComputedStyle(element).* instead.
