Japan and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations agreed Saturday to bolster cooperation on ensuring "the freedom of overflight and civil aviation safety," alluding to the risks posed by China's new air defense identification zone over the East China Sea.
In a joint statement issued to conclude the Japan-ASEAN special summit in Tokyo, the leaders confirmed they would join hands to keep maritime navigation safe as Beijing increasingly flexes its muscles in the East and South China seas.
The statement, however, did not specifically mention China or its contentious new ADIZ.
"We also agreed to enhance cooperation in ensuring the freedom of overflight and civil aviation safety in accordance with the universally recognized principles of international law, including the 1982 UNCLOS, and the relevant standards and recommended practices by the International Civil Aviation Organization," the statement said, citing the U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea.
It also said Japan and the 10 ASEAN member nations underscore the importance of maintaining peace, stability and prosperity in the region and of promoting "maritime security and safety, freedom of navigation, unimpeded commerce, exercise of self-restraint and resolution of disputes by peaceful means, in accordance with universally recognized principles of international law."
"We also confirmed the importance of freedom of flight over the high seas, which is the general principle under international law," Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said at a joint news conference with the ASEAN leaders at the government guesthouse in Akasaka.
"As for maritime issues, especially those concerning the East China Sea, we agreed that we should comply with international law and not use coercion to unilaterally change the status quo," he said.
Abe's main goal at the summit, held to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Japan-ASEAN ties, was to garner regional support for his government's view that China's new ADIZ constitutes aggressive and coercive behavior because it covers the Senkaku Islands, which Japan has administered for decades. China claims the chain as Diaoyu and was infuriated after Japan effectively nationalized the uninhabited islets in September 2012 to prevent nationalist Tokyo Gov. Shintaro Ishihara from buying them.
Beijing is asserting that all aircraft planning to enter the ADIZ must obey its rules and submit flight plans beforehand or face "defensive emergency measures."
Abe also stressed that Japan has no plans to soften its request to the major domestic airlines that they refrain from submitting flight plans to China before entering the ADIZ. Carriers from Southeast Asia and South Korea, however, are apparently complying with Beijing's new rules.
Japanese diplomats had been urging their ASEAN counterparts to make a sharp reference to China's new ADIZ in the joint statement.
Analysts say the air zone is Beijing's attempt to "unilaterally change the status quo" to bolster its claims to the Senkakus.
During one of the morning sessions, Abe said he was concerned about "unilateral attempts to change the status quo and a move to restrict international flight system," a government official later told reporters.
Abe, however, did not directly mention China nor the ADIZ at the talks, the official said.
In the afternoon session, Abe pledged to extend ¥2 trillion in official development assistance over a five-year period to ASEAN members to take Japan's ties with the bloc to a higher level.
The ODA includes ¥300 billion to bolster the region's disaster management framework and to foster a disaster prevention workforce constituting 1,000 employees.
Separately, Abe also pledged an additional $100 million (¥10.3 billion) to the Japan-ASEAN Integration Fund.
Abe was also quoted by Deputy Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato as telling the various leaders that states with conflicting claims in the South China Sea should not take unilateral action because they have a duty to "uphold freedom of navigation and the rule of law."
Among ASEAN members, the Philippines and Vietnam are mired in similar territorial rows with China in the South China Sea.
Abe said he hopes claimant states will "draw up as soon as possible an effective Code of Conduct" — a legally binding rule book designed to prevent maritime conflicts, according to Kato.
China and ASEAN launched consultations on such a code in September, the leaders' joint statement said.
The leaders meanwhile said they "looked forward to Japan's efforts in contributing constructively to peace, stability and development in the region," the statement added.
The call to ensure freedom of overflight was also contained in a separate document issued by Japan and ASEAN to map out a vision for stronger political, economic and cultural ties.
The summit was the first of its kind held in Tokyo since 2003.
On the sidelines, Abe was scheduled to hold bilateral meetings Sunday with the leaders of Laos, Myanmar, Vietnam and Cambodia. He held separate talks with the heads of Indonesia, Brunei, the Philippines and Singapore on Friday.

Hi everybody! Happy December! A few weeks ago I headed to Montreal for a weekend getaway (it's about a 6 hour drive from Boston, so just within the realm of reasonable for a weekend away). The city was beautiful and festive, the food delicious (try Stash Cafe for a delicious and casual Polish dinner, Le Cartet for a fabulous brunch and highly recommended bowl of coffee – yes, bowl – and for a really great seafood restaurant that on the more formal side, it's definitely worth a stop in at Maestro S.V.P.). The weather behaved pretty nicely for us – it was sunny and in the low 40s – but even then for touring around it can get a bit chilly. I love the extra warmth on my legs that a pair of over-the-knee boots provides, and I was thrilled to have these as an extra layer when it got a bit windy.
Have you ever been to Montreal? Any suggestions for the next time I visit? Thanks so much for stopping by!

Bugging reports, daily quest, frozen icons and map
Hello, since previous update im having difficulties with the game. It is unplayable. It really made my game bitter. Last week I wasted five adv. ports because of invisible shields. At least I was compensated for that. But this is much worse and no one even replied me so far. I have literally submit around 15 tickets {from same email im writing you now}. I am sending you SS of my problems. But the frozen icons I cannot capture. They are just frozen. Usualy I need to restart the game few times to make it work. But since I try to look in reports, it starts again and again. I coudnt even hunt creatures, because they were frozen too. During PvP this weekend we have lost Winterfell because of that issue. Members of our alliance Kingz were trying to swap it. But they coudnt attack. It just wasnt in the option, so the Winterfell went back to Stark. I demand retribution for our whole alliance members. I am sending you screenshots as well. But we already did with no response.
Today finally started to work daily quests. But I coudnt collect rewards for two days!!! All pictures are under these links or I can email it to somebody who will contact me from your service. Last thing is that march are not visible through mountains.

INI Seminar Room 1
Despite the outstanding success of deep neural networks in real-world applications, most of the related research is empirically driven and a mathematical foundation is almost completely missing. One central task of a neural network is to approximate a function, which for instance encodes a classification task. In this talk, we will be concerned with the question, how well a function can be approximated by a neural network with sparse connectivity. Using methods from approximation theory and applied harmonic analysis, we will derive a fundamental lower bound on the sparsity of a neural network. By explicitly constructing neural networks based on certain representation systems, so-called $\alpha$-shearlets, we will then demonstrate that this lower bound can in fact be attained. Finally, we present numerical experiments, which surprisingly show that already the standard backpropagation algorithm generates deep neural networks obeying those optimal approximation rates. This is joint work with H. Bölcskei (ETH Zurich), P. Grohs (Uni Vienna), and P. Petersen (TU Berlin).
If it doesn't, something may have gone wrong with our embedded player.
We'll get it fixed as soon as possible.

Race Matters: Income Shares, Income Inequality, and Income Mobility for All U.S. Races
, ,
NBER Working Paper No. 23733
This paper presents income shares, income inequality, and income immobility measures for all race and ethnic groups in the United States using the universe of U.S. tax returns matched at the individual level to U.S. Census race data for 2000–2014. Whites and Asians have a disproportionately large share of income in top quantiles. Income for most race groups ranges between 50–80 percent of the corresponding White income level consistently across various percentiles in the overall income distribution—suggesting that class alone cannot explain away overall income differences. The rate of income growth at the 90th percentile exceeds that of the 50th and 10th percentiles for all race and ethnic groups; divergence is largest for Whites, however, in the post-Great Recession era. Income immobility is largest for the highest-income races. Overall, these results paint a picture of a rigid income structure by race and ethnicity over time.

We Honor You Today and Every Day
Last spring, I was sitting outside after work with some colleagues enjoying the beautiful weather when I received a call from my little brother, Kevin. He was calling to share the news that he would soon deploy to Afghanistan.
Just days before, we heard about his best friend who was deploying to Iraq, and I remember being thankful that it wasn't Kevin. He joined the Army right out of high school, and almost two years had passed. I honestly believed that he would make it through his four-year commitment without having to go overseas. As his older sister, I can't help but be protective of him. Kevin has been gone for almost six months, and I am proud of his courage every single day. I am especially proud today as we honor all those who have served in an effort to protect our country.
There are several ways that people can honor those who have served and currently serve in our military. Just one of the powerful ways to show our appreciation is to visit one of the many national parks that honor our veterans. Before working at the National Park Foundation, I probably would not have made the connection between Veterans Day and the national parks, but there are actually several units in the park system that honor our military heroes. Many are right by me in Washington, D.C., but there are many more all around the country. These parks commemorate those who served from the Revolutionary War, like Valley Forge National Historical Park, through present day with the Flight 93 National Memorial. You can check out an entire list at http://cr.nps.gov/nr/feature/va/#parks.
Take some time to celebrate Veterans Day by visiting a park near you. They are even free! The National Park Service offers several fee-free dates throughout the year, including Veterans Day.
To all those military men and women serving our country – past, present, and future - thank you for the sacrifices you make to defend the freedoms we enjoy as Americans. We honor you today and every day.

In their inaugural crack at the Asian AFL Championships, the Cambodian Eagles tasted triumph once and put up some stiff resistance against the league's powerhouse clubs from Singapore, Hong Kong and Vietnam in Bangkok at the weekend.
After a disappointing two-goal loss to arch rival Vietnam in a low-scoring, tightly contested game, the Eagles soared to victory against fellow newcomers Macau, thrashing the opposition by five goals before suffering two admirable losses against the league's stalwarts.
Singapore took out the main prize in a dominant display against Hong Kong, while the Eagles finished eighth out of 11 teams.
Eagles coach David Murphy said after the championships that the most important thing was that players who had never played senior football, including Cambodians, had competed fiercely.
"[For] a club that has gone on from nothing 18 months ago to play in the Asian Championships, we finished eighth, we had a win, we were very competitive and we stuck to our game plan and people played good football," he said.
Murphy said a sustained, grassroots approach to developing the game in the Kingdom would be vital for their future because the transitory nature of expats made it difficult to develop a well-integrated squad over the long term.
"Over the next 12 months, [our aim] is to bring Auskick to the kids, to the Cambodian kids, so they can learn to play AFL. That's where the powerhouse of Cambodia will come from," the coach said.
On Saturday, a glimpse of the Eagles' prospective talents came in the form of explosive kickboxer turned tuk-tuk driver Um Sy, who came off the bench to har-ass anything that moved in the forward line with his defensive pressure.
Playing four matches in the crushing heat of a sunny Bangkok day, the Eagles rode bumps, held tackles and at times played with finesse, often against clubs with decades more experience.
From the onset, ruckman Steve Higgins dominated the hitouts while onballer Liam Costello kept the contest hot in the engine room.
"Steve Higgins, who made the All-Asian team, was probably the standout ruckman on the day. Liam Costello was also hard at it all day," Murphy said.
Stuart Raetz was brilliant, robbing his forward line opponents of any chance to mark, his performance diminished only by some errant kicking, while Rory Hunter was a reliable presence at centre half-back.
Murphy said the Eagles could look forward to the Indochina Cup in Laos in November where they will take on Vietnam, Thailand and the hosts. They will try to go one step further than their runners-up spot last year.
"Our stocks are rising as they say. We're a real chance to take out that cup," Murphy said.

In its Japanese version, "Library" features a group of players pulling off a series of physical stunts in a library setting, with each stunt's "victim" decided by the luck of the draw. The Silverman Co. said its U.S. show pitch uses the "library" concept as its core and adds additional content around it. Sources said the auction for the rights was competitive; financial terms were not disclosed. "Library" videos on YouTube have attracted more than 3 million hits.

The confirmed death toll from the accident stood at 210, with 92 unaccounted for, the coastguard said, with divers pushing deeper into the submerged vessel's interior in their search for bodies.
The recovery operation has stalled in recent days because of strong currents and debris blocking access to some of the cabin decks.
Prosecutors investigating the disaster on Tuesday questioned the regular captain of the 6,825-tonne Sewol, who was on leave when it capsized April 16 with 476 people on board -- most of them high school students.
Senior Prosecutor Yang Jong-Jin said the captain, identified only as Shin, told investigators that he had warned the shipping company of serious stability problems with the Sewol.
The Chonghaejin Marine Co. purchased the then-18 year old ferry from Japan in 2012 and refurbished it, building extra passenger cabins on the third, fourth and fifth decks.
Shin said the renovations altered the balance of the ship and undermined its anti-rolling ability.
When he advised the company about the problems, his warnings were brushed aside, he told investigators.
The precise cause of the accident is still under investigation, but experts have suggested a sharp turn may have caused its cargo to shift, and the ferry to list irretrievably to one side before capsizing.
Kim Han-Sik, the CEO of Chonghaejin Marine, was summoned to the prosecutors' office Tuesday in the port city of Incheon, from where the ill-fated ferry departed bound for Jeju island.
Kim, 71, issued a tearful apology for the "horrible tragedy" the day after the accident, saying he and other company officials were responsible for a "grave sin" in letting it happen.
In Shin's absence, the Sewol was skippered by captain Lee Joon-Seok, who is now under arrest along with 14 crew members.
The coastguard released a video earlier this week showing Lee scrambling to safety as hundreds of his passengers remained trapped inside the ferry.
Public disgust at the behaviour of the crew has been matched by the anger of the victims' relatives with the official response to the disaster.
President Park Geun-Hye apologised yesterday for her government's failure to combat systemic and regulatory "evils" that may have contributed to the accident and for the "insufficient first response."
But many of the victims' families rejected her apology, which was made during a meeting with her cabinet ministers.
"An apology made before several cabinet members behind closed doors cannot be considered an apology," said Yoo Gyeong-Geun, the spokesman for a group of around 100 families who issued a statement demanding a thorough probe into the rescue operation.

Proposals that are being scrapped are expected to be listed as "inactive" in the White House release.
"It's really the beginning of fundamental regulatory reform and where we're going with regulations," Rao said.
OIRA is essentially the regulatory clearinghouse for the White House, with any new regulation coming to it first before it can be issued.
The list will be part of a semiannual report on the entire government's regulatory agenda. Thursday will be the first edition of the report issued under President Trump.
Trump has said federal regulations are harming businesses and making it hard for them to hire and grow, and his advisers say cutting back on rules is a central part of his agenda. But some of the rules that he is moving to eliminate are ones the Obama administration pursued to boost consumer and environmental protection.
Trump has promised to jettison 80 percent of all federal regulations, a vow that likely means eliminating many thousands of existing policies across the federal government.
The White House's list of proposed steps to deregulate will fall far short of that, but Rao said the process is expected to intensify even further later this year. Rao said federal agencies are more accustomed to adding new regulations and not stripping regulations away, and this new process is taking time to adopt.
She said she has asked OMB officials how many federal regulations there are and was told that it was impossible to get a precise number. Many regulations are required by federal law and can't be unilaterally removed by the White House or regulators, but Trump and Congress have worked together to removed a number of regulations so far through a process authorized by the Congressional Review Act.
These deregulation moves by Congress and Trump, among other things, rolled back a gun safety rule and made it harder for the Federal Communications Commission to block Internet service providers from selling customer data.
Still, even after the release of the updated list on Thursday, it will be difficult to ascertain all of the regulations that are being pulled back. The updated agenda will have 1,732 regulations that are in the works — either short term or long term — a 20 percent reduction from the end of the Obama administration. But some of those regulatory moves could be efforts to weaken existing rules.
Part of this is a reflection that the process is much more complicated to eliminate rules than Trump suggested it would be during his presidential campaign, but he seems to be changing the process, albeit slowly.
"It's not easy," said Ted Gayer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution. "It's not nearly as easy as they thought coming in. I think Trump and his senior advisers thought, 'Well, hell, we'll just delete some regulations.' It's not that easy. They are grasping and learning the process by which they can gum up regulations."
Rao joined the White House from George Mason University, where she was a law professor who has called for abolishing the independence of federal agencies and subjecting regulations to White House review.
Trump has called for agencies to eliminate two regulations for every new one they plan to propose, but so far the agencies have far outpaced this standard. An OMB official said that in the past five months, agencies have sought to eliminate about 18 rules for every new one.
OMB provided a small list of regulations that the White House is moving to rewrite or eliminate. They include the Bureau of Land Management's plan to repeal a 2015 rule that regulates hydraulic fracturing and an Environmental Protection Agency plan to regulate oil and gas development in parts of Utah.
Other deregulatory steps they plan to take include streamlining the Labor Department's approval process for new apprenticeship programs and making it easier for rail companies to use different kinds of equipment as long as they meet public safety rules.
Trump has also said the federal government should do more to streamline the permitting process for development, as he believes this is causing big delays in construction and building.
Rao said they will put out a more comprehensive list of regulations they are looking to eliminate in a few months as they expect to pick up steam. Getting rid of rules, or weakening rules, must follow legal procedures that takes time.
"You are going to see a rollback of regulations," Rao said. "What the magnitude is … I'm not sure what that percentage is. It's pretty hard to say."

The GBT – The Good, The Bad and The Telling sandwich, where The Bad is nice and lean and the The Telling is ripe.
THE GOOD: Little Help From The Jays. With runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out and trailing by 1 in the 9th. Dioner Navarro came to the plate to face Shaun Marcum. Marcum is tougher on lefties, but one would have to think that even a left-handed Carlos Pena or Hank Blalock would have been a better option than a right-handed Navarro. So when Joe Maddon did not pinch-hit, the Jays had to know a squeeze play was coming. They should have had 6 fielders within 20 feet of the plate. Even if Navi swings away, there is little chance Navarro hits it past a drawn-in infield. Instead, Navi laid down an ugly, but effective bunt scoring Sean Rodriguez to tie the game…Carl Crawford. Great game. 2 hits, 5 RBI including a grand slam. But if you read the headlines this morning you would think CC won the game. Yes, his home run was ultimately the winning margin. But there were 3 or 4 hits at bats in the 9th inning more important including Dioner Navarro's squeeze and Reid Brignac's double…Dirtbag's D. With a runner on first and no outs in the 8th inning of a 1-run game, Evan Longoria made a diving stop to his left and started a 5-4-3 double-play from his knees to keep the Rays alive.
THE BAD: Another Blown Call. This time it was Sean Rodriguez rounding third and scoring the tying run in the 6th only to be called out for missing the bag. Replays seemed to indicate that Rodriguez touched the bag. And even if the replay wasn't conclusive, an umpire can't make that call unless he is 100% certain…Navarro Is Spanish For Tortoise. The Rays had runners on second and third with no outs in the 5th. BJ Upton hit a medium-depth flyball to right field. Navarro tagged up and was thrown out by at least 15 feet. The right fielder could have walked the ball to the plate.
THE TELLING: Jeff Niemann brought out the lineup card before the game. We can only imagine this was so none of the coaches would suffer from a premature ejectulation…A decision will be made on whether to DL Jason Bartlett prior to Friday's game…Willy Aybar, Ben Zobrist and Dioner Navarro batted right-handed versus the righty Shaun Marcum. In addition, Carlos Pena was not in the starting lineup. Lefties are only hitting .166 versus Marcum, while righties are hitting .280.
WHERE THEY STAND: The Rays are 36-18, 2.5 games ahead of the Yankees and 5 games ahead of the Red Sox in the Wild Card. After 54 games in 2008, the Rays were 32-22.

- DURHAM: Richard de los Santos pitched 7 shutout innings. He struck out 5 and walked 2…Dan Johnson hit his 15th home run. He now has a league-leading 1.052 OPS…Matt Joyce was 1-4 with a walk…Kelly Shoppach caught and went 2-4…Desmond Jennings was 2-4 and Fernando Perez stole his 16th base.
- MONTGOMERY: Jeremy Hall threw 8 shutout innings with just 2 hits and 3 walks. He has not allowed a run in his last 3 starts (23 innings)…Drew Anderson was 3-5 with his first home run of the year…Matt Sweeney went 1-3 and is 11-49 (.224) since being promoted.
- CHARLOTTE: Frank de los Santos allowed just 1 unearned run in 6 innings…Tim Beckham was 1-5 with 2 strikeouts…Leslie Anderson went 1-4.
- BOWLING GREEN: Alex Colome gave up 6 runs (5 earned) in 4 innings. Of the 6 hits, 4 were home runs.

Index using Referativnyi Zhurnal System
Here are the top-level areas of mathematics and related fields classified according to the Referativnyi Zhurnal classification system, used in reviewing journals in the Soviet Union. [Present status unknown]. This classification was prepared as a piece of the UDC (Universal Decimal Classification) which covers all knowledge in a fairly uniform way. Here we use the portion for Mathematics, every entry of which should have the field "271." prepended to the numbers below. The list is taken from an English translation at the AMS; here it is HTML-ized and a few obvious typos have been fixed. Note that there were a few questions inserted by the translators.
While this division reflects current mathematical reality well, the system used more commonly among (Western) mathematicians is the Mathematics Subject Classification (MSC) scheme, which is the basis for the organization of materials at this site. (Return to that index now.)
At this time there are links only for the broadest classifications of the RZ scheme. (The RZ scheme includes some very deeply nested groups, e.g. 18.104.22.168.17.15.17 for "Invariant objects in Riemann and pseudo-Riemann spaces".)
Since there are 2040 entries in this table, we provide bookmarks to the 19 top-level divisions on this page:

In the year 1620, a ship named the Mayflower brought 102 English men, women
and children to the rocky coast of what is now Massachusetts, one of the 50
states of the United States of America. The ship's passengers were
Puritans—members of a religious sect which was unpopular in Britain because its
members wanted to reform the Church of England.

What are the functions of advertisements? The first one to mention is to inform. A lot of the information people have about household devices, cars, building materials, electronic equipment, cosmetics, detergents and food is largely derived from the advertisements they read. Advertisements introduce them to new products or remind them of the existing ones.
The second function is to sell. The products are shown from the best point of view and the potential buyer, on having entered the store, unconsciously chooses the advertised products. One buys this washing powder or this chewing gum, because the colorful TV commercials convince him of the best qualities of the product. Even cigarettes or sweets or alcohol are associated with the good values of human life such as joy, freedom, love and happiness, and just those associations make a person choose the advertised products.
The aim of a good advertisement is to create a consumer demand to buy the advertised product or service. Children are good example as they usually want the particular kind of chocolate or toy or chewing-gum.
Being naive they cannot evaluate objectively what is truthful and what is exaggerated and select the really good products unless they buy the goods and check for themselves.
Thirdly, since the majority of advertisements are printed in our press we pay less for newspapers and magazines, also TV in most countries in cheap.
The public advertising seen on street hoardings, railway stations and buildings makes people's life more joyful. Moreover, all those small ads in the press concerning "employment", "education" and "For sale and wanted" columns, help ordinary people to find a better job or a better employee, to sell or to buy their second-hand things and find services, or learn about educational facilities, social events such as, concerts, theatre plays, football matches, and to announce births, marriages and deaths. Thus despite our dissatisfaction when being bombarded by all the advertisers' information we must admit that they do perform a useful service to society, and advertisements are an essential part of our everyday life.

Brother Xavier hails from a reality in which Genesis successfully bonded adamantium to Wolverine's skeleton and transformed him into the Horseman of War as a gift for Apocalypse. However, Wolverine turned on Apocalypse, killing him, and then going on a rampage in which he killed most of the supervillains of the world. He was hunted down by his fellow superheroes when Logan targeted common criminals.[citation needed]
Wolverine eventually dissappears, and the "War Watch" is formed to protect people from The Enemy, as Wolverine is now dubbed. Meanwhile, the Wolf Pack, a cult of criminals following Wolverine's violent tendencies, is also formed.
The War Watch is guided by an aged man who calls himself Brother Xavier, who, unbeknowst to both sides, is none other than Logan himself, having snapped out of his berserker tendencies and seeking redepmtion.[citation needed]

What is the use of Kafka?
Kafka was originally developed by Linkedin to solve its problem of real-time analytics as at that time there were not many Big Data solutions available which could handle the large flow of data originating from its existing infrastructure and website.
There were good batch processing framework available but that could not handle its real-time data and as a result, Kafka was developed to solve the problem of real-time data ingestion.
Kafka Architecture and Components:
Let's see the architecture of Kafka and try to understand its various components.
Topic : Kafka messages are classified into multiple categories which may be called as topics.
Producer : Producer is any Kafka client or application which publishes or push messages to topics.
Consumer : It is an application which pulls messages from Topics.
Broker : Since Kafka is a distributed framework so each node can be termed as Kafka broker.
Since we have understood the underlying importance of Kafka,we can start our discussion on installation steps.
Installing Kafka:
Step-by-Step Installation of Apache Kafka in Single Node Hadoop Cluster:
Step 1: Check if Hadoop and Zookeeper are installed and running.
Step 2: Download the Kafka tar file from below link and extract the file.
Step 3: To get recognized by the system, open bashrc and add the home and path for the Kafka.
Step 4: Execute the source command for the changes made in bashrc file to get affected. Also, make a directory named logs where Kafka will be writing all its logs process.
You can refer to the below screenshot and find a file named server.properties.
Step 5: Edit the property in server.property file, inside conf directory in the extracted folder of Kafka and save the file.
Step 6: In the terminal, run the command for starting Kafka, using the below syntax:
Nohup <path to kafka-server-start.sh file> <path to server.properties>
Step 7: Use the jps command to check if the Kafka daemon has started.
Hope this post has been helpful in understanding the steps to install Kafka. In case of any queries, do drop us your question in the comments section below and we will get back to you at the earliest.
Stay tuned for more updates on Big Data and other technologies.

One of the many quotable lines in "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra is "He who sings frightens away his ills," so it seemed perfectly logical that Dan Wasserman's 1959 TV play starring Lee J. Cobb based on the classic 17th-century novel would become a musical called "Man of La Mancha."
The show opened originally at Connecticut's Goodspeed Opera House in 1964. It moved to off-Broadway and then to Broadway, where its first run was for 2,329 performances and where it has returned four times since.
Tonight, the play-within-a-play musical opens a five-weekend run at Hopewell's Off-Broadstreet Theatre in a production directed by Robert Thick.
Thick also cast himself in the role of Sancho Panza, the practical sidekick of the title character, a romantic old knight played by OBT veteran Barry Abromowitz.
One of the themes in this musical version, which has a score by Mitch Leigh and Joe Darion, is that the example and presence of a dedicated and impetuous idealist in a world of grim reality can bring about change.
It's easy to make fun of the deluded old man who jousts at windmills because he thinks they are ferocious giants. However, the presence of both Cervantes in the prison that provides the framework for the show and of Quixote on his travels, the subject of the play put on by Cervantes and his fierce and violent fellow prisoners as he waits to be called before the Spanish Inquisition, gives hope and inspiration to others.
The most obvious and complete change takes place in Aldonza, a trollop and tavern server, whom the wandering knight sees as Dulcinea, his idealized woman.
Seeing Aldonza as the complete opposite of her present self is Quixote's romantic delusion, yet Aldonza sees it as "a sort of miracle," according to Sarah Krauss, who plays the role.
To Krauss, Aldonza is the embodiment of the show's most popular song, "The Impossible Dream."
"At the beginning, she's a rough, no-nonsense, cold and defensive character, bragging that although men may buy her body, she shares her heart with no one," Krauss says. "Her relationship with Quixote is so different from her relationships with any of the other men in her life. He sees her as a complete person, an individual, not just as a body, and by the end, there's a real spiritual connection between them.
"I think of their souls being the same age," says Krauss, who counts the roles of Eliza in "My Fair Lady" and Elphaba in "Wicked" as her career goals.
"At first, Quixote is a complete mystery to her," Krauss says. "She even has a terrific song in the middle of the first act called 'What Does He Want of Me?' to express that. That's the first time anybody gets to see her vulnerability.
"Before that, she's harsh and brash, but the song lets the audience see she has another side because so many of the song's lines are questions, not demands," Krauss says. "Underneath, she may be someone other than what she shows to other people. Quixote's example and sincerity ultimately help her become hopeful, understanding and compassionate."
Another character who changes considerably is Antonia, Quixote's niece, who also has a transformation in the show's emotional final scenes. She's played by Tess Ammerman, a Hopewell resident and Rider University student who's making her OBT main stage debut.
"Antonia is an opportunist who wants to get ahead in life," Ammerman says. "She's going to marry Dr. Carrasco, who's a rich man, and she looks at her uncle as a nuisance. She doesn't want all her neighbors to see her uncle as a crazy man; that could interfere with her upcoming marriage.
"At the end, Antonia is sad and crying because she feels remorse since she's losing the only family she has," says Ammerman, who's quick to point out that like many of the show's many cast members, she plays multiple roles.
"Everyone always has something to do. We're all prisoners in the opening and closing scenes, and I'm also another kitchen maid who had been the customers' favorite before Aldonza, and she's probably jealous for being moved to the background," Ammerman says.
"As Aldonza is being carried off by the muleteers, she sings a line from a beautiful song we've heard earlier called 'Little Bird,' but she sings just one line from it in a nasty, ironic way that lets everyone know there's revenge in her attitude," Ammerman says.
"But that negative feeling is eclipsed by the final scenes because so many people have changed because of someone else's good example," Ammerman adds.
"When Cervantes goes off to face the Inquisition with his manuscript, even the prisoners have softened their attitudes. They too have learned something about caring."

GOOGLE ANALYTICS – Am I doing it right?
It's all very well taking all these elaborate measures to entice people to visit your site and invest all the time, love and care you can spare but at the end of the day how do you actually, I mean really know that you aren't completely wasting your time? This blog post will discuss the ins and outs of Google Analytics and how to make some sense of it.
You could take comfort in the number of sales or enquiries coming in but an increase in traffic to your website doesn't always result in epic sales figures and the need for a second secretary. It's also about getting your name out there and making sure the right people are finding you instead of stumbling across those sneaky competitors of yours; the sly dogs. If your site is drawing in hordes of people then why aren't they picking up the phone?
Never fear my friends. There is an answer. Hold onto your hats. This one's going to be intense because we're going to discuss how you can analyse your website. How you can scrutinise its efficiency, making it feel all self-conscious and vulnerable before fixing it up, slapping it on the back and pushing it back out into the big wide digital world for another crack at life. Like a real life, technological Cinderella.
GOOGLE ANALYTICS -The Big Daddy
I think most of us are aware of this feature that Google has provided us with free of charge. Most of us know a bit about it and might have even installed it into our websites. Some of us might even look at a couple of complex looking graphs and stroke our bearded chins, furrowing our wrinkly old brows making noises like "mmm" and "interesting." However most of us then think "well that was nice" and get on with the rest of our day.
But no more! You don't get any points here for taking an interest. It's about using this information and turning it into better results.
Here's a quick run through of Google Analytics.
So first of all you should know that Google Analytics is not designed to be used solely by computer geeks. It's designed to be accessible and user friendly for everyone. So in that respect it's relatively simple to install and especially simple if you have a friendly and willing developer to hand. It's only a couple of minutes work so if you smile sweetly enough you'll most likely get it done for free! Once you're on there, most sections have helpful little guidelines in which everything is explained. Unfortunately it just takes a bit of time to wrap your head around it but some bits are more helpful than others and that's what I'm writing this here blog for; to tell you the important bits.
Demographics: This bit shows you where all the traffic is coming from. Once you know where your audience is, you can make little tweaks to your site and maybe even your products to appeal to target them more accurately. The hopefully next time they'll bring along their friends for the ride.
Mobile: How many people do you reckon are accessing your site using electronic mobile devices? Actually don't answer that. It's a lot. Even the most senior members of our society are jumping on the technological band wagon (my 96 year old Granny, bless her, bought herself an iPad last week . . . I know; impressive stuff.). Is your site a responsive one? Meaning, does it look good on your laptop and on a telephone screen? If not then it should be. No buts.
Real Time: This shows you who is on your site right NOW and . . . now . . . and now. This one's pretty snazzy. It shows you your traffic sources. Where your audience are coming from and whether they found you using an organic search or a paid advert. Do you really need to be spending your life savings on that AdWords campaign? Perhaps not.
Acquisition > Channels > Audience: The "Audience" section shows you what the little tykes are getting up to on your website and which pages and links they are loitering. Where's everyone heading to? These are the pages and links to focus your energy and resources on.
User Flow is a terrifying looking graph that illustrates how people are navigating through your site and where the concentration of traffic is. You can see any little blockages here, such as when some girl . . . let's call her Jenny, failed to check out. Was she ravaged by hungry racoons or is there actually a problem with your checkout system?
Top Search Queries: Check out the CTR (Click Through Rate) percentage to see how many people have clicked on any ads you have running on AdWords (we will explore AdWords in a later blog) and also be sure to take note of the number of impressions your website has had (how many times it has come up in search results).
Index Status: Google is a seriously nosey robot. He likes to have a good old nose around on your page every so often just to check if you've made any changes. He's also a bit OCD. He likes to make note of every little change you make to ensure he has indexed you to perfection. So basically the more regularly you update your website, the more often it will index your page and the better this looks for your SEO. Your index status shows you how often this index operation is happening.
Content Keywords: You want to pay close attention to this one. Content Keywords shows you how effective your keywords are on your website and their significance. This is handy because if certain keywords aren't doing their job then it's time for a serious rethink. Remember it's about how your customers would describe your products or services not you. Google makes suggestions too so have a look at these and the guidance notes it's all helpful stuff and free so take advantage of it.
Page Speed Insights: This tool allows you to see how quickly Google can access your pages. It indicates the efficiency and usability of your website. This tool also suggests ways in which you can improve this if it's running a little bit slow. Let's be honest we all get fired up when our internet is slow. It can even cause us to completely abandon what we are doing so if there's a way to make your website speedier, then don't hesitate.
So there's my offering to you. Do with it what you will. I think the main thing is to just explore Google Analytics and see what you find. As I have said before, there is a lot of information there and it's easy to get sucked in so try and conquer one section at a time.
Perhaps start off by spending half an hour a week exploring and see where you go from there.
Now scram! Go on, get outa here. Go analyse and utilise and let us know your thoughts on it; the parts you think are the most helpful and the bits which make your blood broil.

The Gift Of Faith.
Read 1019 Times
Of all the many gifts given to us by God, surely the gift of faith must be the most precious one. This is a gift freely offered to all, some choose to ignore this offer and live their lives in darkness, but we who have accepted this wonderful gift, live our lives in the light of Christ and in the blessings of the Eucharist. Unfortunately, faith does not make our lives any easier, or take away our pain and suffering and the suffering of many others in this world today, and sometimes our faith is tested to breaking point. When in many African countries we see atrocities committed, massacres, hunger and disease, I'm sure our faith sometimes "Wobbles a bit."
Mother Teresa puts it this way: - "Our faith is meant to grow and to mature over the years. There are some people who are very well educated – yet their faith is still at grade one and they don't find any real meaning in the world. They have probably never read the scriptures and never really got to know God. Without faith, we are not able to believe in things that are mysteries and beyond our capacity to comprehend. Faith is a gift from God and grows through prayer, as do hope and love – these are the three main virtues of our inner life."
We have to remember that all things are decided by God and He decides when we live and when we die. We have to put all our faith in Him and do the work he has called us to do in this life, in preparation for the next one.
Lord, give us health enough to make work a pleasure. Wealth enough to support our needs and strength enough to battle with difficulties and overcome them.
Give us grace enough to toil until good is accomplished and charity enough to be good to our neighbour. Give us love enough to be useful and helpful to others, faith enough to make real the things of God and hope enough to remove all anxious fears concerning the future.
