The outgoing Nigerian High Commissioner to Sierra Leone Her Excellency Mrs. Gladys Modupe Quist-Adebiyi Friday, 28 April 2017, paid a farewell courtesy call on President Dr Ernest Bai Koroma at State House in Freetown. The outgoing High Commissioner presented her letters of credence to President Koroma on 13th February, 2014, marking the commencement of her diplomatic mission in Sierra Leone.
In her farewell statement, Mrs. Quist-Adebiyi congratulated Sierra Leone on her 56th Independence anniversary and prayed for continued peace and security in the country. She recounted significant gains that had been made on her promise to raising the level of bilateral relations between Nigeria and Sierra Leone for the mutual benefits of the two nations. She stated that the Ebola outbreak brought in several challenges as well as opened windows of opportunity in strengthening the country's health system.
The outgoing High Commissioner commended President Koroma's indefatigable statesmanship in leading the country to the path of development and transformation. "Your dream of a prosperous nation is on course," she said. She expressed hope for a peaceful and successful 2018 elections and registered Nigeria's commitment to standing by Sierra Leone adding, that the relationship between the countries is legendary.
Bidding Farewell, President Koroma commended the excellent relationship the outgoing High Commissioner has built and profusely thanked her for the role she played in the fight against the unprecedented Ebola outbreak in country. "You facilitated support and personally involved in the social mobilization across the country, we appreciate you very much," he said.
President Koroma noted government's commitment to the ongoing electoral process and emphasized that the elections will take place on time and with no delay. She also appreciated the support provided to the Office of the First Lady in supporting women's and girls' issues across the country. The President wished her the very best in her next assignment while assuring her that Sierra Leone will always be home.


The Buddhist-Muslim tensions in Sri Lanka took a different turn last week when a group of monks stormed a safe house where some of the refugees from Rohingya were housed. They were being looked after by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The incident triggered criticisms towards the monks, and the UNHCR. But what seems lost is humanity. Some argue that the UNCHR had not followed protocol in bringing in or looking after the refugees, thereby justifying the actions of the monks.
Yes, we do live in a society where we cannot blindly lend a helping hand to anyone. We live in a society where one's goodness and generosity is taken for granted, misused, and abused. But does that mean that we have to be suspicious all the time? These refugees took a boat because their lands were not safe.
We who are away from the chaos may have our personal views and opinions about the crisis in Rohingya. We may also be of the view that the community to which the refugees belong is the reason for chaos. But they are helpless. No religion preaches to harm the helpless.
Every religion calls upon humans to have compassion. Unfortunately, humanity has lost its way amidst divisions. But what is still worrying is the visible gap between the Tamils and the Muslims. The Tamil National Alliance (TNA) issued its condemnation on the attack two days after the incident.This should not be the case.
The relationship between the Tamils and the Muslims were strained after the latter was forcibly evicted from the North in 1990. During the subsequent years too, Muslims in the North and East faced immense hardships due to the war. It is important that both communities stand by each other at times like these in order to rebuild the confidence that was lost during the war.
Sri Lankans are considered to be the most hospitable people.
However, actions of a minority in instances such as these create a negative picture among the international community. No matter how far humans reach, they should keep in mind that humanity has to prevail above ethnic, religious, and political divides.

The Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute (HWNI) at the University of California, Berkeley was created in 1997, through a  bequest from eight-time Wimbledon champion Helen Wills Moody, an alumna of UC Berkeley.

History
The Berkeley Neuroscience Center (BNC) was created in 1997 under the leadership of Professors Carla Shatz and Corey Goodman, who served as the first two Directors from 1997-2001. Neuroscience professors in departments across campus were invited to become faculty in the Center to help recruit new core faculty and to accept graduate students into their labs for training. A $10 million bequest from Olympic gold medalist and 8-time Wimbledon champion Helen Wills Moody endowed the graduate program and provided cash support to grow the Center. On July 1, 2000, it was formally renamed the Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute (HWNI) in honor of this bequest. The Neuroscience PhD Program accepted its first class in Fall 2001.  At any time there are approximately 60 graduate students in the department.

The institute now encompasses over 70 research faculty from many departments including: Molecular & Cellular Biology, Psychology, Integrative Biology, Vision Science, Chemical Engineering, Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, Physics, and Environmental Science, Policy & Management, Haas School of Business, College of Chemistry, School of Public Health, Department of Bioengineering. The institute supports four general subdivisions within neuroscience: Cellular, Cognitive, Developmental, Molecular, and Systems.

Research centers
The Helen Wills Neuroscience Institute currently houses four research centers each with a unique focus on elucidating the functions of the brain.

Brain Imaging Center
The Henry H. "Sam" Wheeler Jr. Brain Imaging Center (BIC) is led by Jack Gallant and Chunlei Liu. This facility houses one of the most powerful (and the most powerful at the time of its installation) human research functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) system in the United States. The 3 tesla magnet provides an opportunity for research collaboration in functional neuroimaging among diverse fields. Data are analyzed at the Judy & John Webb Neuroimaging Computational Facility also housed on the Berkeley campus.

Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience
The Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience became a part of the HWNI on July 1, 2005 after the dissolution of the nonprofit scientific research facility, the Redwood Neuroscience Institute (RNI), once housed in Menlo Park, California. The RNI was established by Jeff Hawkins in August, 2002. Many of the researchers from the RNI joined the University as faculty or staff, and the institute was renamed the Redwood Center for Theoretical Neuroscience. Through the use of various electro- and magnetophysiological techniques, this group hopes to discover an underlying biological mathematics model of memory and cognition.

Institute of Cognitive and Brain Sciences
The Institute of Cognitive and Brain Sciences (ICBS) became part of the HWNI in September 2009. The ICBS supports research exploring the study of the mind and the biological basis of behavior and mental function. Founded as the Institute for Cognitive Studies in 1984, ICBS adopted its current name in 2000 in recognition of the emergence of cognitive neuroscience as a field for the bi-directional study of mind-brain relationships.

Center for Neural Engineering & Prostheses
CNEP, led by co-directors Jose Carmena (UCB) and Edward Chang (UCSF) brings together neuroscientists, neurologists, and engineers from UC Berkeley and UCSF to develop breakthrough technologies to restore neural function. CNEP is a non-profit, research-based organization with the ultimate goal of transferring its innovations into common medical practice.

Directors
 1997–1999: Carla Shatz
 1999–2001:
 2001–2011: Robert T. Knight
 2011–2013: John Ngai
 2013–present: Ehud Isacoff

In order to help in the prevention and relief of arthritis in your life create a proactive plan for yourself. Take stock of your lifestyle and see where you can make improvements. Listed below are some tips you may find helpful.
Diet and exercise planning – Create your own unique diet and exercise plan in conjunction with your health advisor. Check out on any supplements you may need to take. Include family members in your planning in order to avoid meal-time stress.
Stay active – plan to be regularly, physically active for the rest of your life. Keep in mind your budgets, seasonal weather conditions and other specific requirements you may have. Being physically active keeps you alert and in a positive frame of mind which is very important in managing the arthritic condition.
Heat/cold – Try alternating hot and cold packs to see if they help in dealing with stiffness and pain. Remember that when you are alternating, allow body temperature to return to normal before switching from one pack treatment to the other. Hot showers in the morning are a great way to loosen up muscles and joints that have stiffened up overnight.
Pain relievers – Work out with your doctor what are the recommended pain relief medicines and ointments you can use whether OTC or prescribed. Ensure you have sufficient stock on hand at all times so you never find yourself stuck without the necessary medication.
Ultrasound – Check with your doctor if it's useful for you to have ultrasound. This is a method of helping reduce pain in a painless, easy manner by sending sound waves into the area that is experiencing pain.
TENS treatment – Although it has a long name (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation), TENS for short is another painless and easy method of achieving pain relief. Light electrical pulses are transmitted via a small TENS device causing a vibrating or tapping sensation to nerves in the area experiencing pain Request your health advisor for more information.
Fashion – Important and yet, not so important that it is allowed to impact health. Ensure you wear comfortable clothing and definitely invest in comfortable shoes that provide good support. The focus should be on comfort so you can move your toes around a bit, soles that prevent slipping or falling and low heels to avoid undue stress on the back, knees and feet.
Acupuncture/Acupressure – Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into the skin to stimulate targeted areas in the body. Along with the needles, in order to further stimulate the targeted 'acupoints' the practitioner may also apply any of the following – suction, friction, pressure, heat or electromagnetic energy impulses. The aim is to balance the movement of energy (qi) within the body and thereby restore health. Check with your healthcare provider for referrals or search under 'holistic services' in directories.
Wind – reveals itself in the body in the form of moving aches and pains that are worsened by the wind.
Cold – shows up as swollen and painful joints that are sensitive to fog, rain and high humidity conditions.
Heat – Shows up in areas that are reddish and inflamed and on touching may feel hot.
'holistic services' in directories for practitioners of acupressure.
Aromatherapy – This is the practice of using scents for treatment. Availed of by some arthritic patients, it offers pain relief, skincare, revival, rejuvenation and management of stress.
Mode of treatment is to use pleasant aromatic botanical oils by massaging into the skin, adding to bath water, diffusing their scent into the surrounding environment or inhaling directly. Aromatherapy oils have been reported to help in relaxation, affect moods, lessen anxiety and fatigue, stimulate olfactory nerves when inhaled and thereby help the brain and nervous system.
Aromatherapy is one of the fastest growing alternative forms of treatment for pain and stress relief and is used in homes, clinical and hospitals environments. With regard to arthritis, aromatherapy treatments vary and oils used include Cinnamomum Camphora (Camphor), Cupressus Sempervirens (Cypress), Eucalyptus, Ginger, Hhyssopus Officinalis (Hyssop), Juniperus Communis (Juniper), Lavandula Officinalis (Lavender), Matricaria, Chamomilla (Chamomile), Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) and Styrax Benzoin (Benzoin).
Take 4 ounces of a base oil e.g. almond, avocado, soybean or sesame and add 6 drops each of rosemary and chamomile essential oils. Massage this mix into painful arthritic joints. For additional relief from pain, relax for around 10 minutes in a tub of warm water to which 10 drops each of rosemary and chamomile oils have been added.
Other aromatherapy oil applications include – mixing oil with hot water and then inhaling the vapor that rises, lightly dabbing and wearing the oil as a perfume, adding beneficial essential oils to the bathwater.
Network – Meet and get to know other arthritis sufferers. One way you can do this using the internet to just surf and find arthritis forums.
Take breaks – Ensure you get up and stretch your legs every 30 minutes or so especially if your work involves a lot of sitting in one place.
Wrist aids – If you work at the keyboard all day, check for the latest wrist rests.
Massage – Those at the effect of arthritis have found that gentle stretching and massage therapy helps in relieving pain, relaxing muscles, reducing swelling and aids range-of-motion in joints. If you want to give yourself a massage, here are a few tips.
For Osteoarthritis: Take a little vegetable or massage oil on your fingertips and make small gentle circles around the painful area. Avoid directly massaging the joint and instead work just above and below it with your fingertips. Do this for 3-5 minutes daily.
For Rheumatoid arthritis: Take cream or oil on your fingers and use an effleurage or rhythmic massage on the muscle and tissue surrounding the affected joint. Do this daily for 5-10 minutes.
Yoga – Many arthritic patients have reported improved confidence, self-awareness, mental and emotional health, range-of-motion, blood circulation, relaxation, concentration, health of bones, tendons, muscles and joint ligaments, and reduction of mood swings, stress and pain. Yoga does not require much equipment to begin – a mat, some padding in the form of a blanket or piece of carpet and pillows. Classes and instruction centers are often available at many health and fitness places. Yoga should ideally be practiced under instruction so check with your healthcare provider for referrals.
A few easy yogic poses are the mountain pose, child pose, down dog variation, cat-cow position, reclining twist, deep back rest among others. These can be done at home but get someone to teach you how to do it correctly. Remember not to strain anything in the process. Some people find it beneficial to combine soothing music or sound tracks like ocean or nature sounds when practicing yogic positions. Varying lighting also helps.
Physical therapy: Based on your diagnosis, you can check with your health advisor about finding a physical therapist to help you with exercises.
Stress management techniques: Discomfort in arthritis can be aggravated by stress. Prevention and cure measures are called for. A few methods (among many) to deal with stress are – assertiveness training, learning to cope with your ailment, pet therapy, meditation, deep breathing, pacing, relaxing, resting, communing with nature, hydrotherapy and music therapy.
Safety – It's a good idea to have safety bars and other safety equipment installed around the home, especially for the tub and shower areas, stairways, walkways, swimming areas and such like.
Journal – No matter what your writing ability or style is, it's good to keep a journal. Put down your feelings, thoughts, emotions, and record your progress. Use colors if you're feeling more creative. Record any questions you may have so that you can remember to ask them when you meet your healthcare provider.
Stay informed – Check with local, state, federal and worldwide organizations for growing information on arthritis. Get registered on their mailing list and learn about latest information regarding new treatments, drug therapies, OTC and other medication, surgeries and new pain relief and prevention methods.

Apartheid was a crime against humanity: South Africa's De Klerk apologises
South Africa's former president F.W. De Klerk, on Monday retracted the controversial submission he made earlier this month saying apartheid was not a crime against humanity, and apologised to the nation.
De Klerk, 83, who was South Africa's last apartheid-era president, shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Nelson Mandela in 1993 for dismantling white-minority rule and ushering in democracy.
But he sparked fury among many South Africans when he publicly denied that apartheid was a crime against humanity, despite the UN declaring it such.
I agree with the Desmond and Leah Tutu Foundation that this is not the time to quibble about the degrees of unacceptability of apartheid.
"The idea that apartheid was a crime against humanity was and remains an agitprop project initiated by the Soviets and their ANC/SACP allies to stigmatise white South Africans by associating them with genuine crimes against humanity," he said.
The ANC is the African National Congress, which under Mandela fought an underground battle against apartheid before coming to power in South Africa's first democratic elections, in 1994.
The SACP is its erstwhile ally, the South African Communist Party.
Angry South Africans
The remarks were made on February 2 in an interview with the national broadcaster SABC, and reiterated in a statement by De Klerk's foundation.
Anger reached a crescendo on Thursday when President Cyril Ramaphosa was forced to delay his annual State of the Union address after lawmakers from the far-left Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) staged a rowdy protest in parliament, demanding De Klerk be ejected from the legislature.
"It is an insult to those who died and (who were) tortured… under the instructions of De Klerk to have De Klerk sitting in a democratic parliament," it said.
Other critics were the SA Council of Churches, other opposition parties and civil society groups, while the ruling ANC slammed De Klerk's remarks as "blatant whitewash".
A foundation set up by the revered anti-apartheid fighter, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, said it was "irresponsible" to debate the "degree of awfulness of apartheid" and called for him to retract his statement.
The apology
On Monday De Klerk retracted his statement and apologised for the "confusion, anger and hurt that it has caused".
"I agree with the Desmond and Leah Tutu Foundation that this is not the time to quibble about the degrees of unacceptability of apartheid. It was totally unacceptable," he said in a statement issued by his foundation.
Despite the end of apartheid a generation ago, racial tensions in South Africa remain high and economic inequality and poverty run deep.
An umbrella group called the Anti-Racism Network of South Africa this week launched an annual campaign to tackle racism at the grassroots level.

March 12, 2018 - Press Release
£55k award for new health hub in heart of Lewes
Plans to improve access to GPs and provide a broader range of health services in Lewes have been recognised by a £55,000 government award for the new health hub in North Street Quarter.
The award comes from The Greater Brighton One Public Estate Programme which supports projects that improve public services, stimulate economic growth and free up land for regeneration. It was awarded following a joint bid from Lewes District Council and local healthcare partners, including Lewes's three GP practices who will join forces to offer more services and improved access for local people.
School Hill Medical Practice, St Andrews Surgery and River Lodge Surgery will relocate into the new health hub, while still retaining the Ringmer branch surgery for the community. The creation of a health hub in the heart of the town will help meet increased demands on local GP practices. More appointments will be available as the health hub will be open seven days a week and will bring together other healthcare providers including a practice pharmacist, paramedic and nurse specialists.
The grant will be used to design the facilities and spaces inside the hub. Specialist healthcare architects Murphy Philipps have been appointed to carry out the work, which will help health providers to plan their move into the hub and ensure the new premises meet their operational needs. The external design of the health hub has been carried out by the team of architects working on North Street Quarter and has been given full planning approval.
Dr Jason Heath, GP partner at St Andrews Practice, said: "We are one step closer to being able to offer high quality integrated General Practice from the very heart of the town, in a way that is sustainable and secured for the local community for the future.
"We will now work with architects Murphy Philipps on the specifications of the design on the state-of-the-art premises, which will see an integrated primary and community care facility with the long term aim to transform the delivery of health and social care in the town, and better support people to lead healthy lives."
Marc Levinson from specialist healthcare architects Murphy Philipps, said: "We are very excited to be part of the team on this exciting project to enhance health services for local people. We will be working closely with health providers to tailor the new facilities to make sure they meet the needs of the community, and are fit to provide first rate care."
The North Street Quarter health hub forms part of a wider model for Lewes with the development of a health and social care campus, encompassing both existing facilities and a new facility. The Lewes Health Campus will be a catalyst for change to health and social care for the whole town of Lewes and wider population.
There is no need for patients registered at the three surgeries to do anything to get a new GP as they remain registered with the GP partners working from Lewes Health Hub.
Updates about the progress of the Health Hub will be posted on the North Street Quarter website. Please visit www.northstreetqtr.co.uk for further information.

About Patients Voice
(Patient Participation Group)
Our practice is committed to enhancing our services with patients' needs in mind. Therefore, the Practice has implemented a Patient Participation Group (PPG), Patients' Voice, led by patients of the Practice with an interest in how the Practice works and services provided by both the Practice and in the local area.
The group has now been running since 2011 and has successfully implemented numerous projects including two Open Mornings represented by local services regarding lifestyle, such as Health Trainers, Balance & Bone Health, Weight Watchers and the Stop Smoking Service. They have also aided the practice in completing an annual patient survey.
The group also has a representative who attends the Patient Forum for the Clinical Commissioning Group for our area, helping to facilitate more patient involvement in the services provided in the community.
The Group hopes to continue to be able to expand projects and be a continual point of reference for the practice when making decisions on the services provided by the practice.

Town centre traders look forward to a record Christmas in Ipswich
Sailmakers, shoppers at Christmas
Picture:James Fletcher
Retailers and restaurants in Ipswich town centre are looking forward to a bumper Christmas as shoppers have turned out in force.
This year is heading to be one of the best on record – and Ipswich MP Ben Gummer said it was the best he had seen since he was a child.
Ipswich Central co-ordinates events with businesses in the heart of the town, and its chairman Paul Clement was upbeat about the town's performance.
He said: "Anecdotal feedback from both retail and leisure businesses has been exceptionally positive for the Christmas trading period so far.
"The new mix of restaurants and retailers such as Jack Wills, Wagamama, Cosy Club, and Swarovski has helped change the face of Ipswich."
The Buttermarket Centre's new restaurants have done well – and there was also record trading being reported at the Sailmakers centre.
Mr Gummer said: "Everyone I have spoken to has said this is a truly exceptional Christmas in Ipswich this year.
The other day I was in the Butter Market street and it was absolutely heaving.
"Ipswich is, at last, starting to punch at its weight – and it is starting to attract visitors from other towns which is very good news.
Retailers in Ipswich's busy Sailmakers Shopping Centre are expecting their busiest Christmas in years with approaching 700,000 shoppers set to flock there this month.
Footfall at the Centre, which was the subject of a £4 million refit last year, has risen every month in 2016 and December is expected to follow suit, bringing the total of shoppers for the year to over five and a half million.
Sailmakers Shopping Centre Manager Mike Sorhaindo said: "This year has been a continuing success story for the Centre and fully justifies the decision to invest in the improvements.
"This is a key time for retailers and we're really enjoying it and having a busy month.
"Last year we were expecting over half a million shoppers in December and we actually had more than 650,000 so we're hoping for even more this time."
Local chain Baldwins returned to the shopping centre after 18 months away and the re-opening has been a massive success, according to manager Bradley Ellis.
He said: "We've been in Ipswich for six years, here when it was known as Tower Ramparts and elsewhere in the town, and Black Friday was our busiest ever day."
Partywear has been the big seller for fashion store Quiz where manager Jenny Lloyd said: "It's been really good and Black Friday worked very well for us.
"November was very busy compared to previous years and it's certainly picked up with Christmas shoppers out in force."

Geddy considers 2nd solo album
By Martin Kielty published 7 December 15
Rush frontman reflects on how My Favourite Headache helped him through Neil Peart's family tragedy
Rush frontman Geddy Lee says he's interested in making a second solo album.
And he's recalled how writing and recording My Favourite Headache in 2000 was a way of dealing with the death of drummer Neil Peart's daughter.
She was killed in a traffic accident in 1997, forcing the band on to a hiatus, with no certainty they'd get back together. The tragedy was compounded with the death of Peart's wife 10 months later.
And with Rush's future in limbo once more, the singer and bassist is open to the concept of working without Peart and guitarist Alex Lifeson again.
Lee tells AV Club: "That was a real interesting period. I had planned to do some jamming with my dear friend Ben Mink. We always planned that some time we'd get together and see what happened.
"We were planning to do that, and suddenly tragedy struck Neil's life. Everything got really weird and it was just a horrible period.
"I decided, after a few months, this idea of working with Ben might be a real tonic for me – I didn't know whether there would be another Rush album. People get through tragedies in different ways. I was going crazy and needed something to focus on."
Rush went back to work the year after My Favourite Headache was released. Asked if he'd consider making a follow-up, Lee replies: "Yes, I would – definitely."

Saudi-led coalition in Yemen targets drone store near presidential palace – state TV
The coalition said the air raids targeted a cave used by the Houthis
Aircraft from the Saudi-led coalition in Yemen on Saturday attacked a camp containing drones near Yemen's presidential palace in the Houthi-controlled capital, Saudi state TV reported.
The Saudi-led coalition backs the government of Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi, which was ousted from power in Sanaa by the Houthis in late 2014.
"The coalition staged a selective military operation to destroy a legal military target" a statement by the coalition issued later by the state-run Saudi News Agency (SPA) said on Saturday.
The coalition said the air raids targeted a cave used by the Houthis to store drones in a camp in the vicinity of the presidential complex, which is now controlled by the Houthis.
Yemen's war has killed tens of thousands of people – some of them from coalition air strikes – and driven 10 million to the brink of famine. The Arabian Peninsula country is also suffering its third major outbreak of cholera since the conflict began. In December, the warring parties reached a deal at UN-led peace talks for a ceasefire and troop withdrawal from the Red Sea port of Hodeidah, Yemen's lifeline for fuel and food.
The truce has largely held but the withdrawal has stalled due to mistrust among the parties, calling into question the UN goal of further talks to agree a framework for political negotiations to end the war. Violence and displacement also continue in other parts of Yemen not subject to the ceasefire.

Q: How to display a dataframe with aggregated rows and string values? I want to transform an dataframe with parent customers name with child servers into a "nested" table with just one parent customer and its childs servers. I don't know what is the best way to achieve this in pandas if using groupby or a pivot table.
I have a dataset like below:
Customer  ID    Server      TYPE  OS
John    100   prod1  PROD         Linux
John    100   prod2  PROD         Linux
John    100   prod3  PROD         Linux
Smith    101   prod1  PROD         Linux
Smith    101   prod2  PROD         Linux
Smith    101   prod3  PROD         Linux
Smith    101   prod4  PROD         Linux

How can I best represent my data to show this parent child structure for each customer? Ideally, I would like to classify this set above as a two customers like below:
Customer  ID    Server      TYPE  OS
John    100   prod1  PROD         Linux
              prod2  PROD         Linux
              prod3  PROD         Linux
Smith   101   prod1  PROD         Linux
              prod2  PROD         Linux
              prod3  PROD         Linux
              prod4  PROD         Linux

Preferrably, I want the childs on a row below the parent like below:
Customer  ID    Server      TYPE  OS
John    100
              prod1  PROD         Linux
              prod2  PROD         Linux
              prod3  PROD         Linux
Smith   101
              prod1  PROD         Linux
              prod2  PROD         Linux
              prod3  PROD         Linux
              prod4  PROD         Linux

I expect to have a new dataframe with the data in a parent child relationship.

I contacted ADT in Seattle because I frankly don't feel safe living in this city anymore. My wife and our young son don't feel that safe either, especially after they both almost got carjacked a few months ago. As someone who was born and have lived my whole life in Seattle, it pains me to have to admit that this city is in serious decline. Have you heard about our homeless problem? Probably you have, but if you're not here you have no idea exactly how bad the problem has become. It's off the charts and crime has skyrocketed because of it.
I knew that I needed to have a plan when I decided to start my own home office. Getting clients was not a problem, mainly because I knew that I would not have to meet face to face with most of them. As my business grew, so did my needs. I realized that for my bigger clients, I was going to have to meet them face to face at least once a year. I didn't want them coming to my home though, so I did a search for voffice. I knew that I should be able to find a company that provides the virtual office services that I would need in order to continue to be successful.
Isn't everyone looking to stay as young looking as possible for the longest amount of time? However, most of us do things in balance. If our hair begins to gray, we color it. If it starts to fall out, we try to minimize, replace or conceal it. If wrinkles come, we do Botox or use fancy creams. Saggy skin gets a surgical lift. Food, exercise and supplements are used to help boost things that are waning or lacking. Some believe boosting their human growth hormone (HGH) amount will help. They may choose to use something such as GenF20 Plus.
I was not always considered green. When I first moved, I know I must have horrified my new neighbors with my actions. I did not recycle, and I drove an SUV that was a gas guzzler. We became best friends anyway, and they are the ones that helped me realize that being green is really the only way to ensure that our children will grow up in a clean environment. They told me that this even applies to my electricity service. They told me that I need to consider more than just the texas electric rates that the various companies offer.
Jack and I got busy today on the house, although we could not really do some of the stuff that we had planned. The guy from TXU energy was supposed to turn the power back on early that morning, but they had a really bad storm up to the North and it threw that plan completely off the rails. We figured as much and tried to get to work on the things we did not need power tools for, or at least the ones where we did not have to corded power tools. In fact this house has been sitting vacant for quite a bit of time and it was hit by some fairly significant storm damage itself. I love the location, although it is going to be a bit of a pain if I working on the wrong side of the city.
Cable TV Providers are doing everything that they can to ruin the Internet thanks to the small fact that they are more than not often Internet Service Providers as well. To me, this is a clear conflict of interest that somehow doesn't come into the equation whenever the FCC considers the idea of mergers, especially like the one that is on the table right now between Comcast and Time Warner. And yet, there is an issue here that should be addressed. As a business model, they cannot function like this for much longer as they are no longer improving their technology.
When I got the bill for our satellite Internet service last month I could not resist following a link that told me to click here for the best prices on high speed broadband Internet. I was a bit amazed at the amount of data the kids burned through in a month's time. When you have Internet service through satellite providers, it can get expensive. It is nothing like the low prices you pay for DSL or cable Internet. I think it can end up costing you more than the fiber optic service offered by the phone company people.
Moving day and no help. I have helped a half dozen friends or more move over the years. I have taken days off from work to be there on moving day for friends. When my wife and I were moving us and the kids, no one was available that day. Not one person I know would step up and take a day off to help. I think more than just us have been in that situation. It's not like I could just pick another day. Since no one was helping, I looked for budget truck rental discount codes to get a big truck to move our stuff.
I have moved to a suburb of Chicago, because I have always wanted to live in this part of the country. Chicago is a city that I fell in love with at a young age, when visiting it with my parents. It is a great city, and one that I am glad to live in. I have not completed the move yet, but I do have a job in the area. I am trying to buy a house and I need to look into getting home insurance in Illinois before I will actually be able to get the loan from the bank that I need to pay for the house.
I did not realize that you actually had to buy the home insurance policy first, before you bought the house. Kind of seems backwards, but I guess there is some sense behind it. I would have thought that they would just stipulate that you have to get the insurance policy within a certain amount of time after buying the house. I guess that is not how it works, or at least, it is not how it works with the bank that I am trying to get a home loan from.
I am curious to learn a bit more about home insurance, and I want to look into the different rates that companies are offering for home insurance in Illinois. It would be nice to get a pretty cheap rate on it, because I already have a lot of bills. I am not going to have a lot of money in the coming months, so it would be nice to keep my expenses down as much as I can do so. I thin that i have found the perfect house to live in though, and it is going to be awesome once the purchase is completed.
I had a dream last night, and then the next day, something uncanny happened. I was dreaming about driving a car, and that the car started to accelerate without any input being applied to the gas pedal. The very next day, I was driving my car, and the drive light started flashing when the car was in park, and also in reverse. I want to get mypsychicadvice done by a psychic to try to learn more about this dream, and to see if it is trying to tell me something.
I really think that the universe is trying to send me a sign, and that I could get in a car accident, or something similar, if I do not take proper actions. Maybe I shouldn't drive for awhile. That isn't really feasible, because I am going to need to get to work. If I have this same dream again, or one similar, then I will be convinced that something is going on. But I do not want to wait to see if that will happen. Rather, I am going to take action, and try to get into contact with a psychic today.
The sooner the better, because my mind is really not at ease currently. I am hoping that I will be able to find a solution soon, and some answers. I am really concerned about the flashing light. That seems like it is definitely a sign, and a very strong one. I have always been afraid of getting into a car accident, maybe that is my fate. I wonder if you can do anything to change fate, or if the future can be altered. I have always considered such things, and I am not really sure how I feel about my chances of doing so. I guess I will have to give it a shot though.
I like to play a lot of abandonware games. Those are games that are no longer sold or supported by the manufacturer. They usually only run on older computers, and they are a hobby of mine. There are some games that you can still buy old versions of, but the ones I like have long been out of release. That is why I search around on http://isohuntpro.org. There usually is someone out there who has the really old games I read about and want to play.
In the stores I have found these tiny self-contained game consoles that are preprogrammed with different old games. They are the old arcade style ones that I used to play as a kid. The games I like are the old computer games that were based on a theme or were role playing games. Not the newest versions of some of the games that are still in production, but the old original releases. Some of these files are big files and take a long time to download on slower peer-to-peer networks. The http://isohuntpro.org website offers seven megabits per second download speeds.
I have spent the last three months or nearly three months, working for some electricians in brisbane. They offered me a permanent position and it would not be very terrible to take it perhaps, because it is not as though I would just be a common electrician. Instead I was working as an automation specialist. I needed some money to finish my education, in fact I was tapped out and had nothing to fall back on. I would have settled for just about any job, but I sort of lucked into this and convinced the contractor that I could do the job. What he needed was an electrical engineer who understood how to work with automation. He was looking to grab a rather juicy contract to build a production line for a Japanese manufacturer of small engines.
It is a proven fact that men do not produce the same amount of testosterone as they age. Every year, the amount produced in their bodies is smaller, and this can lead to quite a few changes. For me, I realized that I was not feeling as active as I was before, and my doctor determined that this was because of my low testosterone levels. When my lab results came back and I was given that news, I knew that I was going to get a supplement that would help me with that. I started taking adrenalast after doing an extensive amount of research on the different products available for someone like me.

Wasatch Peak Vaulting Club
Equestrian Vaulting.
What it is & where it came from.
Equestrian Vaulting is commonly described as gymnastics and dance performed on the back of a moving horse.
Vaulting has origins that stretch back to at least two thousand years. It is even believed that vaulting could be traced to the ancient Roman Games, where acrobats displayed their skill on cantering horses. Others believe that it originated in ancient Crete, where tricks were preformed on that back of bulls. Renaissance and Middle Age history include many references to vaulting.
Modern vaulting was developed in Germany as a means to introduce children to equestrian sports and remains a popular sport all over Europe. Competitive vaulting is relatively new in the United States arriving in the 1950s. The first official competition for the U.S. was held in 1969.
Since then, the sport of Equestrian Vaulting has grown and developed into the enjoyable sport it is today.
Vaulting routines (team, individual, and freestyle) are performed on the back of a horse, traveling in a circle while being lunged on the end of a lunge line by a skilled lunger. At many events there are even competitions on a stationary barrel. Either on the horse or barrel, competitors are judged on their ability to smoothly execute compulsory movements, demonstrating strength, flexibility, and balance, while facing all four directions and cover all parts of the horse/barrel from neck to croup, during their routines. They are also evaluated on the technical difficulty and artistic expression associated with freestyle routines. Additionally, a portion of every overall score is secured by considering the horse's quality and consistency of gait.
Vaulting offers enthusiasts the opportunity to develop coordination, balance, strength and creativity while working harmoniously with both fellow teammates and the horse itself.

Q: Does defining 'static const variable in a struct' explicitly makes any difference in C++ 11 and above? I understood that in the older versions of C++, assigning a value to const static variable in a struct and not defining it outside the struct will not create a memory allocation for the variable, but will replace the const static variable with its assigned value during compilation and accessing the address of such a variable gives error (as the variable is not defined/allocated memory)
struct A{
    int i;
    static const int j = 20;
}

So, here to define the variable,this should be done to access it with address
const int A::j; //line1

But, in later versions of C++, even though the variable is not defined as in line1, memory is getting allocated and its address could be fetched.
I'm not sure whether adding line1 in the versions from C++ 11 will make any difference in any other aspect (as memory is getting allocated without this line too). If it makes a difference, what would it be? (Is it just to provide backward compatability?)
Please help!!!
Edit : I'm not sure whether such thing is accepted even before C++ 11, but since I observed it from C++ 11, I mentioned it (using MSVC++ 14.0)
Update : Also observed, when tried to print address of j without line1, In MSVC++ 14.0, it could print the address but with gcc compiler (cpp.sh), it couldn't and it gives a link error (undefined reference).

A: In C++17, inline variables will be introduced. A static constexpr data member of a class will be implicitly inline and will be a definition of that data member. Multiple definitions will be resolved at link time into a single address for that data member.
In your example, A::j is const but not constexpr, so that provision will not apply to it. Your example will work the same in all versions from C++98 to C++17.
In the case where j is constexpr, in C++17 and later, the out-of-line definition const int A::j will become a redundant declaration that the compiler will ignore. Yes, this is for backward compatibility reasons.

Q: Need some assistence with Regex (PHP) I'd like to parse txt files to HTML using preg_replace to add formatting.
The format of the file is like this :
09:19:49 13-12-15 Sunday Hello World
1234567 Today is a beautiful day
1234568 Tomorrow will be even better
1234569 December is the best month of the year!

This should be treated as a group and parsed into a table, like :

09:19:49 13-12-15	Sunday	Hello World

1234567	(optional)	Today is a beautiful day

1234568	(optional)	Tomorrow will be even better

1234569	(optional)	December is the best month of the year!

For now, I'm using two separate preg_replacements, one for the first line (date) and a second one for the following ones, which can be just one or up to 100 or so. But, this file can contain other text as well, which needs to be ignored (as for the replacement), but if this line has more or less the same format (7 digits and some text) it gets formatted as well :
$file = preg_replace('~^\s*((\[.*\]){0,2}\d{1,2}:\d{2}:\d{2}(\[/.*\]){0,2})\s(\d{2}-\d{2}-\d{2}(\[/.*\]){0,2})\s+(?:\d{2}/\d{3}\s+|)(Monday|Tuesday|Wednesday|Thursday|Friday|Saturday|Sunday)\s+(.+)$~m', '

$1 $4	$6	$7
', $file);
$file = preg_replace('~^\s*(.{0,11}?)\s*((\[.+?\])?\d{7}(\[/.+?\])?)\s+(.+?)$~m', '
$1	$2	$5
', $file);

How to improve this? Like, if I have this content :
09:19:49 13-12-15 Sunday Hello World
1234567 Today is a beautiful day
1234568 Tomorrow will be even better
1234569 December is the best month of the year!

Liverpool - WBA 2-2

1234570 This line should be ignored

19:29:59 13-12-15 Sunday Hello World
1234571 Today is a beautiful day
1234572 Tomorrow will be even better

So, I'd like to catch and preg_replace only the first block and the last one, starting with time/date and some following lines, starting with a 7-digit ID.
So far, thanks for reading ;)

A: I think this accomplishes what you are trying to do.
There was one line that were unclear to me why it should be ignored:

1234570 This line should be ignored

This line meets the 7 digits and some text requirement.
The regex I came up with was:
/^(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\h*\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}|\d{7})\h*([a-zA-Z]{3}day)?\h*(.+)/m

Here is a regex101 demo: https://regex101.com/r/qB0gH6/1
and in PHP usage:
$string = '09:19:49 13-12-15 Sunday Hello World
1234567 Today is a beautiful day
1234568 Tomorrow will be even better
1234569 December is the best month of the year!

Liverpool - WBA 2-2

1234570 This line should be ignored

19:29:59 13-12-15 Sunday Hello World
1234571 Today is a beautiful day
1234572 Tomorrow will be even better';
echo preg_replace('/^(\d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\h*\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}-\d{1,2}|\d{7})\h*([a-zA-Z]{3}day)?\h*(.+)/m', '$1	$2	$3	', $string);

Output:
09:19:49 13-12-15	Sunday	Hello World
1234567		Today is a beautiful day
1234568		Tomorrow will be even better
1234569		December is the best month of the year!

Liverpool - WBA 2-2

1234570		This line should be ignored

19:29:59 13-12-15	Sunday	Hello World
1234571		Today is a beautiful day
1234572		Tomorrow will be even better

Okay, per your update it is a bit more complicated but I think this does it:
$string = '09:19:49 13-12-15 Sunday Hello World
1234567 Today is a beautiful day
1234568 Tomorrow will be even better
1234569 December is the best month of the year!

                                    foreach($output as $key => $values) {
                                        if(!empty($key)) {
                                            $theoutput .= '' . $values . '	';

                        return $theoutput;
