US based Association Connecting Electronics Industries IPC, has announced its first two certifications for Lead-Free Electronics Assembly Process Capability in Asia.
Flextronics Industrial, a market segment of Flextronics (Shen Zhen) Co., and Nokia Telecommunications Ltd. Dongguan Branch Co. passed the IPC certification audit that demonstrates critical processes for the production of lead-free assemblies in compliance with the European Union's Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive. The extensive audits of both companies were completed by Leo Lambert, vice president and technical director of EPTAC Corp., and included an in-depth analysis of each facility's operations in the areas of design and engineering; materials procurement, warehouse, assembly database, declaration and field return; surface mount assembly; rework and repair; and training. "I am deeply pleased with this recognition by IPC, as it underscores our commitment to customers through the efficacy of Flextronics own internal lead free audit program," said MC Chan, director of Process, Flextronics (Shen Zhen) Co., Ltd. "A successful lead free program is a complex and critical set of protocols and processes that must be taken seriously by electronics companies worldwide. Flextronics has long realized that other areas, such as materials control, floor management and engineering technology, are required for best practices in lead-free assembly." Chan acknowledges that lead free program initiatives involve far more than simply using a different solder and credits IPC's certification program as, "an excellent auditing system for Chinese electronics facilities that are looking to secure their own lead free processes." He adds, "This IPC certification further confirms that our internal program is well aligned with the strict standards set forth by RoHS." The IPC Certification for Lead-Free Electronics Assembly Process Capability is an audit of an electronics assembly facility — whether it's an OEM or EMS facility — to determine if the facility is capable of producing product to meet the lead free requirements of the EU RoHS Directive. The certification program is an excellent way for a facility to validate its lead-free electronics assembly process capabilities and to impress upon its customers and suppliers its commitment to excellence.

Jimi Hendrix - Foxy Lady - Live at Rainbow Bridge
Rainbow Bridge is a 1972 film directed by Chuck Wein that features footage from a Jimi Hendrix concert, and a short piece of conversation between Pat Hartley, Wein and Hendrix. It was mainly financed by Hendrix manager Mike Jeffery, hence his appearance. The film is about Pat Hartley's "spiritual awakening" via a visit to the 'Rainbow Bridge' planetary meditation cult on Maui, where, as part of the proceedings Jimi Hendrix visits to play a concert during a 'Rainbow Bridge' mass meditation/colour/sound "experiment". The "Rainbow Bridge" concert was a free concert by Jimi Hendrix that was held on July 30, 1970, in a horse pasture above Seabury Hall, on the "Upcountry" slopes of Haleakala, the volcano that makes up 75% of the island of Maui, Hawaii, although it probably last erupted in the 17th century, it is officially considered as being active.
A modest audience of a few hundred island hippies, surfers, and students turned up following announcements that Hendrix would play a free concert for a film. Hendrix was also in Hawaii to play the last concert on his 'Cry of Love' tour with his reformed 'Jimi Hendrix Experience' (with Billy Cox replacing Noel Redding on bass & backing vocals. Mitch Mitchell & Cox were also previously members of Gypsy Sun and Rainbows). The director Chuck Wein introduced Hendrix' performance (no mention of a group name) as the driving force of this 'Rainbow Bridge' "experiment" , (this title is often mistaken as being the name of the site of this concert rather than the name of this "Planetary meditation" cult, an extension of the Gaia hypothesis into spiritual realms). The original cut, not surprisingly used very little of the concert footage, as this was not intended to be a concert film and no music from the performance was released on the official Reprise LP "Rainbow Bridge- Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" for contractual reasons and due to the original music soundtrack being unreleasable due to its very substandard sonic quality on account of strong winds that day. The album does include, however, the studio tracks featured in the film. However, the music from the concert was distributed as a bootleg recording for three decades, before Radioactive Records released this same bootleg recording on the 2003 album, The Rainbow Bridge Concert: The Early Show until it was withdrawn due to a court action by 'Experience Hendrix' which makes this officially a 'bootleg' CD release. The 'Rainbow Bridge' concert was the penultimate performance by Hendrix in the United States, his last was two days later on August 1, 1970, in Honolulu, Hawaii. Hendrix died less than two months later on September 18, 1970 in London, England

Tara Pacific 2016-2018 new expedition
© earth.nullschool.net
Press Release – 14/04/16
The research schooner Tara will leave her home port of Lorient on May 28th 2016 for a new expedition in the Asian Pacific. The boat will sail nearly 100,000 km around the Pacific Ocean for more than two years. The interdisciplinary team of scientists aboard, coordinated by the CNRS and the Scientific Centre of Monaco (CSM), will examine in a new way the biodiversity of coral reefs and their evolution in response to climate change and human activities. This adventure is sponsored by the CNRS, PSL, CEA, CSM and many other public and private partners.
Coral reefs cover less than 0.2% of the oceans' surface, yet they include nearly 30% of known marine biodiversity. Their health is crucial to the diversity of species, and also for humanity. Studying this fragile and endangered ecosystem is a priority since a large number of reefs have been disappearing in recent years.
From east to west and from north to south, Tara will criss-cross the Pacific Ocean to explore the hidden diversity of coral reefs and gain a better understanding of their capacity to adapt to climate change. From the Panama Canal to the archipelago of Japan (2016-2017), from New Zealand to China (2017-2018), the schooner will traverse 11 time zones of the world's largest ocean, and visit the most remote islands and reefs.
A novel approach to reef biodiversity
This expedition is unique in that it will cover such a huge geographical area – the Pacific Ocean – where over 40% of the world's coral reefs are concentrated. A study on this scale has never before been accomplished.
According to Serge Planes, CNRS researcher and scientific director of the expedition, "Tara Pacific will explore each reef 's hidden biodiversity – genomic, genetic, viral and bacterial – in order to compare it with the biodiversity of the surrounding body of water. Our goal is to get a real idea of the overall diversity of a coral colony."
This approach will give us new information concerning the still-unknown role of biological, chemical and physical parameters in the life of coral colonies and their ability to adapt to change.
The Tara Pacific expedition will traverse a very wide gradient of biodiversity, culminating in the "Coral Triangle" of Southeast Asia. During the expedition, 40 different archipelagos will be studied, each in exactly the same way, so as to detect variations in the presence of 3 reef species: 2 corals and 1 small invertebrate in the hydroid family.
Adopting a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, scientists will review the recent past of coral colonies to observe the contemporary evolution of the reefs, and to envisage the future, especially through computer simulations.
Besides the state of health of each reef and its biodiversity at different levels, the scientific team will focus on the capacities of resistance, adaptation and resilience of the reef ecosystems. A last aspect of our study will focus on the potential applications of coral biology to medical research.
Educate and inform on environmental issues
"The scientific community needs new data, but local and international groups need this information too. Tara will contribute to a better understanding of issues affecting the reefs, these cradles of biodiversity so important for the future of some populations, especially on small islands", says Etienne Bourgois, President of the Tara Expeditions Foundation.
The Tara Expeditions Foundation will use this expedition to inform people in the political and business worlds, to raise public awareness about the most pressing environmental challenges and problems faced by populations that depend on the ocean's good health. Many stopovers in the Pacific and in Asia will allow us to share information on environmental issues with as broad a public as possible.

The Flemish master Philippe de Champaigne pursued a successful career in France, where he produced altarpieces, devotional images, and portraits, served as first painter to the queen, and was a founding member of the French Academy. The emotional restraint typical of the French classical tradition informs Champaigne's two devotional pictures: The Virgin Mary, at right (1978.546), and Saint Joseph, at left (1978.545). Both are isolated against a softly lit landscape. Champaigne highlights Joseph's divinity by replacing his carpentry tools, cast on the ground to his right, with a white lily, denoting the purity of Christ's conception. Draped in a robe and veil of the same rich palette as her husband's attire, the Virgin reads a book, which underscores her fidelity to scripture. Forming halos around their heads, the light shining through the clouds behind them reinforces their sacred status. The copper support, which concentrates and clarifies the colors, heightens this effect.

NSW government left red faced over Airbnb 'debacle'
NSW, Strata Living
Home » NSW » NSW government left red faced over Airbnb 'debacle'
Strata short term letting debacle explained
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Better Regulation Minister Matt Kean had faces redder than the Airbnb logo this week.
Airbnb, of course, is the company that helps people rent out a room or their entire home for a night or three. The sharing platform got the green light to roll into NSW just over a year ago, but now it and other companies like it are facing a round of NSW government regulation.
That regulation came farcically close to being announced this week — until the government suddenly cancelled the press conference with a mere hour's notice.
Full-on revolt
Sources in the Coalition party room say it was nothing short of a full-on revolt and "debacle" that left Premier Berejiklian red-faced and Minister Kean "humiliated".
"The Premier has been rolled by her own backbench," deputy opposition leader Michael Daley said.
"How can anyone have any confidence that this Government can manage growth of Australia's most important city properly when they can't even get something through the joint party room like Airbnb," he added.
So what on earth happened?
Late last year, the government admitted it was looking into balancing the "potential social and environmental impacts" of Airbnb-style arrangements, whilst acknowledging "the economic contribution of the industry".
What the government came up with was a proposal that involved capping how many nights per year – 180 – a property could be rented out. The idea is that while apartment living is on the rise, they should not turn into 'quasi-hotels' or full-time 'party houses'.
In London, the cap stands at 90 days without council permission, and the caps in other global cities including Paris, Amsterdam and San Francisco range between 30 to 120 days. In Berlin, landlords are able to apply for permits to rent a primary residence for unlimited periods and second homes for up to 90 days a year.
"The government can learn from cities around the world that have recently introduced strict regulations to counter the negative effects – particularly for housing and rental affordability – caused by the unfettered growth of unregulated commercial short-term stays," said Carol Giuseppi, head of Tourism Accommodation Australia.
Also included in the proposed NSW legislation was a 'two strikes' policy for guests and hosts who cause trouble.
But after the apparent revolt, a spokesperson for Minister Kean explained that there would be a delay "while more work is done".
It is believed the MPs behind the revolt were concerned about the proposed cap, as there are Airbnb specific regulations in South Australia and Tasmania that do not have a cap.
Other states, notably Victoria and Queensland, do not have Airbnb regulations at all.
But also causing trouble, notwithstanding the 'two strikes' idea, is that Airbnb rentals could still go ahead even in the event that the strata corporation was in opposition. One MP said her own parents live in an apartment and Airbnb tenants regularly "trash" the pool and other facilities.
"Short-term tenants bring extra wear and tear on lifts, pools, gyms and common laundries and we should be able to vote on if we'll wear those costs in return for extra rental potential," said Stephen Goddard, representing the Owners Corporation Network.
"It is a relief to hear the Government backbench is taken by the view that owners in general meetings should have the democratic right to decide how their building should be used," he added.
Another issue is that Airbnb puts upwards pressure on rental prices, particularly in Sydney where affordability is already a big issue.
"This represents a concern in terms of rental supply in these areas, where some local residents in the long-term rental market might be losing out to the short-term tourism market," said a group of experts who recently conducted research.
Simon Richardson, the mayor of Byron Shire, went as far as saying Airbnb is "gutting our community".
But following a round of heavy lobbying, Airbnb itself will also be happy the Airbnb regulations are still up for grabs for now – even if it says it is open to "fair and progressive" rules.
Head of public policy Brent Thomas said the company contributes $1 billion to the NSW economy, including the sustaining of 7000 jobs.
"In a single year, Airbnb creates more local jobs in NSW than Snowy Hydro 2.0 will," he said.
So after the revolt, the proposal has been thrown back to a committee, and is currently due to be discussed again in the Coalition party room on June 5.
What will happen with Strata short term letting debacle? Well that is anyone's guess.
One strata committee chairman said the party room revolt was a victory of "the little person" over the might of big business and government.
But Patricia Forsythe, of the Sydney Business Chamber, urged the government to try again.
"No one thought that creating the regulatory framework would be easy," she said. "But doing nothing can never be an option."

Q: Is doubling the capacity of a dynamic array necessary? When making automatically expanding arrays (like C++'s std::vector) in C, it is often common (or at least common advice) to double the size of the array each time it is filled to limit the amount of calls to realloc in order to avoid copying the entire array as much as possible.
Eg. we start by allocating room for 8 elements, 8 elements are inserted, we then allocate room for 16 elements, 8 more elements are inserted, we allocate for 32.., etc.
But realloc does not have to actually copy the data if it can expand the existing memory allocation. For example, the following code only does 1 copy (the initial NULL allocation, so it is not really a copy) on my system, even though it calls realloc 10000 times:
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    int i;
    int copies = 0;
    void *data = NULL;
    void *ndata;

    for (i = 0; i < 10000; i++)
    {
        ndata = realloc(data, i * sizeof(int));
        if (data != ndata)
            copies++;
        data = ndata;
    }
    printf("%d\n", copies);
}

I realize that this example is very clinical - a real world application would probably have more memory fragmentation and would do more copies, but even if I make a bunch of random allocations before the realloc loop, it only does marginally worse with 2-4 copies instead.
So, is the "doubling method" really necessary? Would it not be better to just call realloc each time a element is added to the dynamic array?

A: You have to step back from your code for a minute and thing abstractly. What is the cost of growing a dynamic container? Programmers and researchers don't think in terms of "this took 2ms", but rather in terms of asymptotic complexity:  What is the cost of growing by one element given that I already have n elements; how does this change as n increases?
If you only ever grew by a constant (or bounded) amount, then you would periodically have to move all the data, and so the cost of growing would depend on, and grow with, the size of the container. By contrast, when you grow the container geometrically, i.e. multiply its size by a fixed factor, every time it is full, then the expected cost of inserting is actually independent of the number of elements, i.e. constant.
It is of course not always constant, but it's amortized constant, meaning that if you keep inserting elements, then the average cost per element is constant. Every now and then you have to grow and move, but those events get rarer and rarer as you insert more and more elements.
I once asked whether it makes sense for C++ allocators to be able to grow, in the way that realloc does. The answers I got indicated that the non-moving growing behaviour of realloc is actually a bit of a red herring when you think asymptotically. Eventually you won't be able to grow anymore, and you'll have to move, and so for the sake of studying the asymptotic cost, it's actually irrelevant whether realloc can sometimes be a no-op or not. (Moreover, non-moving growth seems to upset moder, arena-based allocators, which expect all their allocations to be of a similar size.)

A: Compared to almost every other type of operation, malloc, calloc, and especially realloc are very memory expensive. I've personally benchmarked 10,000,000 reallocs, and it takes a HUGE amount of time to do that.
Even though I had other operations going on at the same time (in both benchmark tests), I found that I could literally cut HOURS off of the run time by using max_size *= 2 instead of max_size += 1.

A: Q: 'doubling the capacity of a dynamic array necessary"
A: No.  One could grow only to the extent needed.  But then you may truly copy data many times.  It is a classic trade off between memory and processor time.  A good growth algorithm takes into account what is known about the program's data needs and also not to over-think those needs.  An exponential growth of 2x is a happy compromise.
But now to your claim "following code only does 1 copy".
The amount of copying with advanced memory allocators may not be what OP thinks.  Getting the same address does not mean that the underlying memory mapping did not perform significant work.  All sorts of activity go on under-the-hood.
For memory allocations that grow & shrink a lot over the life of the code,  I like grow and shrink thresholds geometrically placed apart from each other.
const size_t Grow[]   = {1, 4, 16, 64, 256, 1024, 4096, ... };
const size_t Shrink[] = {0, 2,  8, 32, 128,  512, 2048, ... };

By using the grow thresholds while getting larger and shrink one while contracting, one avoid thrashing near a boundary.  Sometimes a factor of 1.5 is used instead.

Why Kato Kaelin Was So Important In The O.J. Simpson Murder Trail
By Alexandra Simon/Nov. 3, 2021 12:05 pm EST
Dubbed the "trial of the century" (via Biography), the O.J. Simpson murder trial was indeed one of the most famous of its time. The high-speed highway chase, the arrest that followed his initial plea statement, the dream team of lawyers he later hired, his unforgettable glove fitting in the courtroom — the trial was an attention-grabber that a lot of people paid attention to daily. The former football player and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee was on trial for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Simpson Brown, and it was during the proceedings that a lot of details would come out about O.J. and what happened the night his ex-wife was murdered.
The prosecution, led by attorneys Marcia Clark and Chris Darden, called hundreds of witnesses to the trial. One of them was a peculiar man named Kato Kaelin. He was just one of the dozens who testified for the prosecution, but he would be a standout witness for several reasons: He knew both the victim and the suspect in the case, he was living with the suspect (O.J.) at the time, and he had spent some time with him during critical hours on the night of the murder.
Kaelin lived in a guest house on O.J.'s property on N. Rockingham Avenue in the upscale Brentwood neighborhood. On the night of June 12, 1994, a few miles away, a knife-wielding attacker stabbed Nicole and Ron Goldman to death (via Biography). That same night, Kaelin spent some time with O.J. on a drive to and back from McDonald's (via CNN).
A famous trial witness

Although he didn't know it at the time, that night, Kato Kaelin spent time with the man who would be the main suspect in the murder of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown Simpson, making him one of the most important witnesses to testify at the trial. He would provide testimony for the prosecution on five different days in late March 1995, per Up Counsel.
By testifying, Kaelin provided an important timeline of O.J. Simpson's whereabouts on the night of the murders. He said that about an hour after returning from the drive-thru of McDonald's with O.J., he heard three loud thumps outside the window of the guest house he was staying in (via CNN). Upon investigation, Kaelin came across the limo driver at the main entrance of the home waiting for a tardy O.J., who eventually arrived.
The public also learned how Kaelin came to know the Simpsons and how he ended up living on O.J.'s property. Apparently, the retired football player didn't want Kaelin around Nicole, who he was living with at the time, nor did he want him to move in with her at her new place, per E! Online. As a result, O.J. offered him to stay in his guest house.
Kaelin's testimony turned him into a celebrity overnight, and he became one of the most famous witnesses ever. His testimony was spoofed on "Saturday Night Live" (posted on YouTube), and he was invited to speak on multiple radio and television shows after the trial.


In these days of chaos, when we watch democracy dying around the world, including here in the United States, I find myself unable to make any kind of future plans. In the past, I'd have a Plan A, followed by a Plan B, and even a Plan C, just in case. Since Putin stole the 2016 Presidency for Trump, I find myself unable to plan at all. Mostly, because the world is so insane, I don't know from day to day what kind of carnage we'll be facing. How can anyone paying attention plan anything? So, my daughter and I do our best to support each other and those who deserve our kindness and we just take it day by day.
The one thing that keeps me sane is the podcast, Gaslit Nation. Hosted by Sarah Kendzior and Andrea Chalupa, I live for the day that these informative and truthful women drop their latest full-frontal description of what is happening around the world and how bad things are for us who live in the States. Both Kendzior and Chalupa were warning of us of what was most likely to happen in 2016 if we didn't pay attention, but they were considered hysterical women pushing disaster stories that were too fantastical too come true. Sadly, everything Kendzior and Chalupa have predicted have come true.
Impeachment sends a message about who we are as a country and what we will accept and abide. The rule of law demands action. Refusing to take action is normalizing atrocity. Lawlessness must be confronted regardless of the outcome, as a matter of principle and conscience. Fighting only the battles that you know you will win is a sure way of ensuring you lose; preemptive surrender, in a rapidly consolidating autocracy, is permanent surrender.
Many people tell me that they don't watch the news or get on social media very often because it's too depressing. While I agree that what's happening in the world is depressing, I'm just not one of those people who can stick my head in the proverbial sand and not have a clue what's happening. I'd rather know all the details of every hideous event than pretend it's all going to be okay.
In addition to listening to Gaslit Nation, I'd also suggest you follow Kendzior and Chapula on Twitter. They're easy to find. Stay informed and stay prepared!


Walaupun terlihat "vintage" saya senang mas dengan theme ini, kayaknya cocok banget untuk blog dengan niche lingkungan, Go Green!
Ping-balik: Everest's Blog | My page!
Them not bad at all. Want to install and look closely all the features. Especially I interesting available widgets. With this green style I think this template will be good for my blogs about herbal medicine.

I like your theme very much. I'm going to use it on one of my projects ; ).
Wow.. I like this template.. Thanks!!!
It certainly is a very good although simple theme, but I find it a bit hard to personalize. It works fine on WP 3.1.
i have changed that code and i have not noticed a change on the test page…All links are still underlinded…In the metadata and in the actual posts themselves…still cant figure out how to change that..
Wow.. I like this template..
One question, how can I remove this link "wp-admin/">Administracja witrynÄ…"? I see it at the top position, near sites which I made.
Beautiful theme, congrats and keep the good work!

Nice, simple theme. Green color perhaps a little too vivid. 3 stars out of 5 from me.
I like the Theme, the problem I have is my site is a mixture of a blog and an actual website and right now the resolution is set at 750 width. So if I change the blog's template it won't match the rest of the site.
is there a version anubis for blogspot platform? i think it would be more complete if you make it, because i prefer to use blogger.
That's a really outstanding theme, I like the green tone of the whole thing.
My father owns a gardening company and I've been looking for a good theme for his website.
Any word on compatibility with WordPress 3.1?
Will this theme ever be updated for WP 3? It looks really awesome.
As you can see I am using your Anubis theme for my high school biology course web site. The green color is obviously perfect for a course about life!
I'm using version 1.3 but I can see that you are using version 1.5 on your own demo site.
Any chance we can upgrade to the newer 1.5 version?
Cool theme. It's a bit green but it's great for an ISO14001 project that I'm working on at the mo.
thanks.hope your site will better.A little bit too green but I guess that is the point of the theme. Besides that, the design elements and contrasting columns are great.

Hi, I've got a gardening project where I'd like to use this theme, but I've got the long title problem another poster mentioned. It really does mess up the formatting and I really need a longer title for SEO reasons.
Hi, all of the links on my blog are nofollow, including my own and between pages. How do I change that?
A little bit too green but I guess that is the point of the theme. Besides that, the design elements and contrasting columns are great.
Hi there, love the theme. Doesn't seem like the 404 page is loading correctly though. The header is loading fine, and same with the left sidebar. But then it displays the right sidebar and then the content is shifted to the far right. What should I do? The code for the 404 template looks like this: Thanks!!

If you can't do that. Let's me help you. Please contact me.
Hey, I love this theme!!!
Having a slight problem though, how do I make the header image a clickable link?
The regular methods of adding a div class option don't seem to be working?
I just set up my first blog using Anubis as the theme. It's beautiful! One question which may seem silly – how do I put a picture where the star is? My blog is floridatreehugger.com.
Add Categories Widget and Archives widget on you blogs.
Which widget are u asking me to try?
On my Anubis, the default categories and archives invisible count, try to use Widget and give your feedback again.
:) I looked and looked for the perfect theme and finally found anubis! Thank you for the work you put in. I am trying to shrink the header to 125px. (I have a new 125px header graphic I'd like to use). I've changed the #pager height to 125px (from 150px), but this doesn't shrink it? Do you have any insight for how I can do this?
Anubis a very nice Theme but where are the RSS or ATOM feeds?
I was check on you corrected URL and my Anubis working well on you blog. so, what's is the problem?
sorry, it must be the comma ',' on the end of the url.
I've just added 'text control' plugin, that may fix the problem. Haven't tested it yet, will let you know.
The first site is: http://www.friendlystreetpoets.org.au (he had a comma after the URL).
I'm using two of your themes, and I have to say that they look great, and are really well thought out.
I'm having some issues with Anubis when I format text in the editor – all of the line spaces and stuff disappear whenever I try to save a page or post. I was wondering, is this something to do with your theme, or is it a glitch with wordpress.
I read in a wordpress forum that some themes might interfere with the editor….
Can you please help… i'm very frustrated.
Is it just me or does this thema NOT WORK at all in IE 7?
I normally use FireFox but just tested it in IE and it gives back a totally scrambled site.
Could u please tell me how to change the comment box area color..Not the part where u type in your comments but rather the section that displays any comments u may have already. Its above where u type in ur comments.
This is a really nice-looking theme, thank you!
2. I see where I can add an "about" text blurb in my profile, but where does the avatar come from?
I have made a few changes to the sidebar.php file… do you have any ide about the sort of thing that would cause both sidebars to be on the right?
I was check on your blog and everything running okay.
Really it is a very good theme.

Orem files civil complaint over SSB, Inc.
In a strange twist in the question of "moral character" 23rd Judicial Circuit Court Judge Laura Faircloth once again denied a petition to renew Special Services Bureau, Inc.'s authority be to engage in a bail bonding business in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia.
Her decision was made in part based on the testimony of court official Kim Clark. Clark testified that she was unaware that John Orem was at the secure door before she opened the door remotely to allow his wife Sher Orem in.
Attorneys for SSB, Inc. provided the court with a copy of surveillance video footage that clearly contradicts the testimony of Clark, who Faircloth ordered to the stand during the review hearing of the petition. The surveillance footage showed John Orem in plain sight at the courthouse interior office before being allowed in by Clark.
After review, Faircloth stated she was not going to consider all of the assistant's testimony and that the part of the testimony was stricken from the Dec. 4 order denying the petition. The court also found that Sher Orem is financially responsible and has a clean criminal history. However, she still denied the renewal of the license based in part of a fear that Sher Orem was not removed enough from her husband to run SSB, Inc.
The Orem's are surprised that they are licensed in so many other locations but are having problems in the Eastern Panhandle. "I'm a bondsman in Virginia, Maryland and every other county we want to be in West Virginia. It's just Berkeley County. And we just got approved in Monongalia County," John Orem said.
Orem has stated in the past that he has spent over $100,000 in legal fees and would continue to fight to clear his name. "We already began a Supreme Court appeal. We filed a civil complaint against Kim Clark and Berkeley County," Orem said.
"Correction: Earlier versions of this story incorrectly said Judge Faircloth was not going to consider the assistant's testimony and the testimony was stricken from the record. Faircloth only stuck part of the testimony. The Missions Tribune apologizes and regrets the error"
Romney Middle School chorus teacher, Laura Groves, has finally reached the long sought after goal of obtaining new risers that were needed not only for the classroom but also for school concerts throughout the school year. Laura has been the chorus teacher at Romney Middle School for six years and has been working towards the goal of raising $14,000 to purchase new risers for her students to use. Groves said the risers the school was using were "Hand me downs from other schools in the county; they were nearly 30 years old, bent, broken, and very difficult to use."
the past school year, Groves had decided that this year was going to be the big push to finish funding for the risers. Over the six years of teaching at Romney Middle School Groves had saved from past donut sales and local donations from students' families and the community. At the beginning of the school year, Groves states there was still between $8,000-$9,000 needed to complete the goal successfully. Donations from local businesses including Coldwell Banker Realty, The Bank of Romney, Judy's Mobile Homes, Sheri Coleman from Eastern Psychological Associates, Italian Touch, and Chic-fil-a of Lavale, Maryland all contributed to the new risers' fund early in the school year by either monetary or gift card incentives.
The Hampshire County Arts Council organized a benefit concert near the holiday season that raised over $1,000 to put toward the new risers with Hay Fever and Knobley Mountain Pickers performing pro bono.
Large donations from Walmart of Keyser, West Virginia, Romney Women's Club and Modern Woodmen provided grants to double the donut sales profits with a contribution of $2,500 towards the project. As well, the Romney Middle School student council donated proceeds from their fundraising dance to help with the fundraising drive.
During the last few months of the school year, the chorus students performed another Krispy Kreme donut sale that helped top off the funds needed to obtain the new risers. Groves says, "Between fundraising and donations, we raised $15,000, and I would say that over $5,000 of that was donations from our community and the rest were thanks to our Krispy Kreme fundraisers over the past six years."
After working diligently to acquire the funds needed and by saving from previous years, Groves' chorus students now have a new set of risers. With many students using these risers during their classes and performances in their concerts, ensuring safety is a priority. Groves states, "The new ones roll easily, [and] do not have to be lifted. The actual risers fold down and up on gas hinges, and also have back and side rails to make them safer." With the purchase of the new risers, Groves is now confident of the safety of all of her present and future chorus students while performing.
Augusta, WV: Robert Reynolds, of Augusta, WV, knows the lifestyle and hardship of being a person that suffers from addiction and alcoholism very well. He was an alcoholic and an addict for seventeen years. After some criminal activity by Reynolds, he received a ten-year prison sentence. With the help of two gentlemen that were living the life of Christ before him, he came to find Jesus during his incarceration. Before his experience, Reynolds was never a believer of God or the idea of church. He had only attended church a few times, for family services on the major holidays in which he states he was "high". The gentlemen he met led Reynolds to a weekend retreat where they taught a curriculum about Jesus Christ. That's when Reynolds was "saved."
On November 10, 2010, Reynolds made the ultimate decision to begin a life without alcohol and drugs. He was also on some depression medication and decided to transition off of it. For the next year, Reynolds pushed his own parole back while he searched for a facility that would help him with his new life of Christ and help guide him after his release.
Reynolds knew that he could not return home to Martinsburg, WV, for fear of relapsing. In April of 2011 Reynolds was released from prison and went to Levels, WV to meet with Pastor Wayne Stotler, who had interviewed Reynolds while incarcerated. He stayed at a transition home located across from the church of the Pastor called "The House Of Miracles." Reynolds graduated from the program in 2012. He worked with the local youth for a long time and studied to be a youth pastor, but something still didn't feel quite right for Reynolds. He says felt a desire to be somehow more involved with helping addicts and alcohol in a situation like he had once been in.
He started participating at the Shenandoah Valley Teen Challenge and became engaged with their program. He was asked to speak and to give his testimony. He would go there on Sundays and spend the day with those involved and have dinner with them, share some devotions, and pray with them. Once, after returning from the Teen Challenge, Reynolds was told by his Pastor that there was where his passion lay, so Reynolds began to pray about it and wrote down a vision of what he thought God wanted him to do.
In July and August of 2017, Reynolds was praying for a more in-depth vision. A brother in Christ, Colby Nichols, expressed to Reynolds that he had received a message from God, while in his basement, to give up his home. Colby and his wife moved from the area and started a new career and a new chapter of their lives. Their home would become "The Freedom House."
Reynolds began the mission with only $25 in his bank account and left the rest up to God. Many people from the community shared with him information about government funding and other possibilities that could help him with the new facility. Reynolds said, "No, God has called me to do this, so I trust in him to make it work." As he began giving his testimonies and sharing his vision throughout the local churches and the community, every denomination in the area started helping with many things including the finances necessary to fund the operation. Businesses in the area, such as Trinity Health Care, offered free medical care, along with Dr. Timothy Nichols, D.D.S. who offered free dental work. Reynolds opened "The Freedom House" last October and said, "It's been a blessing ever since."
The home is a year-long program for individuals and is faith-based. In the house, people start their day with breakfast and devotions followed by some chores and some biblical classes. Throughout the day they may receive calls offering jobs from mowing lawns, to cutting firewood, or to lending a hand to help someone while moving. Reynolds says, "[They] like to give back to the community." The doors at The Freedom House are not only open to people suffering from addiction or alcoholism, but it's also an open door for anyone that needs extra support or that would like to know more about Jesus Christ.
Currently, Reynolds is working with a volunteer, Gary Edwards, that owns a farm and has a wood shop there. During the first couple of months of being at the Freedom House, individuals don't have employment, so Reynolds designing a new agenda that he hopes will allow his clients to go to Edwards' workshop and learn how to make wood signs and furniture. He also hopes to give them a little extra to add to their experience and the skills they could offer.
Monday through Friday Reynolds stays at the house. On Saturday Gary Edwards comes and takes residents to his farm to lend a hand and learn to do some farm work, before taking the night shift at the home, and on Sunday another volunteer supervises operations.
The Freedom House can occupy up to twelve individuals at a time; currently, one resident is there with a few others expected to arrive within the next week or two. Reynolds says the largest number of program participants he has had at one time was ten.
During the next two months, Reynolds friend and Pastor, Imre Kuller, from Estonia, will also be accompanying the residents; assisting with the classes and the educational programs within The Freedom House.

District 14 of the Western Area of Missouri includes Greene County, Nixa (located in Christian County) and Halltown (in Lawrence County).
Representatives from each group meet the second Sunday of each month to exchange news about their groups, solutions about any group problems, information about how to contribute to each group's growth and well being.
Along with the Group Service Representative, AA members who are interested in working in specific areas, such as with correctional facilities, or perhaps radio stations, also meet to exchange ideas and coordinate efforts to better carry the message of AA.

DOUĂ CONTRARII ÎN ACELAŞI PURTĂTOR
3.01 Baal HaSulam,
Letter No. 51
The whole difficulty in serving Him is that in the worshipper, there are always two opposites in the same carrier, that His uniqueness is simple, but must clothe in man's body, which consists of a body and a soul, which are two opposites.
Therefore, in any spiritual concept that one attains, two opposite forms are immediately created in him—one form on the part of the body, and one form on the part of the soul. By nature, a person cannot scrutinize the body and the soul as two carriers. Rather, he is composed by the Creator as one, meaning as one carrier. For this reason, spiritual attainment is as difficult for him as two opposites that cannot properly clothe in one carrier.
It is similar to the binding of Isaac, when the Creator said to Abraham, "For in Isaac shall a seed be called to you," and the Creator said to him, "And offer him there for a burnt-offering." From the perspective of the Creator, it is as was written, "I the Lord do not change." But in the perception of the receiver, they are opposites.
Shamati, Article No. 34, "The Advantage of a Land"
It is known that nothing appears in its true form, only through its opposite, "As the advantage of the light from within the darkness." This means that everything points to another, and by the opposite of something, the existence of its opposite can be perceived.
Hence, it is impossible to attain something in complete clarity if its parallel is absent. For exam- ple, it is impossible to estimate and say that something is good, if its opposite, pointing to the bad, is missing. It is the same with bitterness and sweetness, love and hate, hunger and satiation, thirst and saturation, separation and adhesion. It turns out that it is impossible to come to love adhesion prior to acquiring the hate of separation.
In each and every movement in His work there are two opposites in the same carrier, as I have elaborated in previous letters, as the receiver consists of body and soul, which are opposites. Hence, in each attainment, great or small, He makes two opposite forms.
There are two concepts in the work of the Creator:
) "prayer and plea,"
) "praise and gratitude."
Naturally, both must be at their highest. To complete the prayer, a person must feel the Creator's closeness to him as mandatory, like an organ that is hanging loosely, for then he can complain and pour out his heart before Him.
But opposite that, regarding the complete praise and gratitude, a person must feel the Creator's closeness to him as an addition, a supplement, as something that does not belong to him at all, for "What is man that You should know him, the son of man that You should think of him?" Then he can certainly give complete praise and gratitude to His great name for choosing him from among all those who are standing ready to serve the Creator.
It is great work for the complex man to be completed in both those opposites, so they are set in his heart forever at the same time.
"You Have Made Me in Behind and Before"
It is written, "Man and beast You save, O Lord." Our sages said, "These are people who are of cunning mind and pretend to be as beasts." This means that the whole path of creation that the Creator created is regarded as two opposites in one subject, and all the combinations in the world were made in this way, and this is the whole of the work of creation.
In the giving of the Torah, we were given the strength through "remember and keep were said in one utterance. What the mouth cannot say, and the ear hear and the heart think or contemplate." This means that it is written that "Remember" is the love and "Keep" is the fear, which are two opposites. They were said to us and given to us as one, to unite them. Although they are really opposite, and it is incomprehensible to the corporeal mind and heart how such a thing can exist in reality, it is the power of the Torah that one who adheres to it is rewarded with it—being connected and united in his heart, as in the quality of Jacob the Patriarch.
Ohr HaBahir
Anything that is perceived in time is corporeality, and anything corporeal is complex. This means that there are two discernments that are unfit to come at once. For this reason, one sorts them out in the time given to him one at a time. After the scrutiny and the labor, the two discernments will come at once, and will not interfere or conceal each other whatsoever, and then it is considered removed of corporeality and removed also of time, and it comes to be defined as the eternity of the seventh millennium. This is what the poet implied by "Jerusalem that is built as a city that was joined together": The end of correction is called "Jerusalem that is built," meaning that the redeemed do not build it but are astonished by their attainment that it is already built and there was never any flaw in it, for any change of place, change of operation, and change of name, which is itself the moments of the time in exile, all those opposites have joined together, and it is complete simplicity, as the sum that is revealed when all its parts and details are revealed in it.
The Study of the Ten Sefirot, "Inner Observation," Chapter 1, Part 1
The difference between One, Unique, and Unified: When He unites to act with One Force, He is called "Unified." When He divides to act His act, each part of Him is called Unique, and when He is in a single evenness, He is called One, thus far his pure words.
By saying, "unites to act with One Force," he wishes to say that He works to bestow, as worthy of His Oneness, and His operations are unchanging. When He "divides to act His act," meaning when His operations differ, and He seems to be doing good and bad, then He is called "Unique" because all His different operations have a single outcome: good.
We find that He is unique in every single act and does not change by His various operations. When He is in a single evenness He is called "One." One points to His Atzmut, where all the opposites are in a single evenness.
We should learn from those who ate the manna. Manna is called "Bread off the sky" because it did not materialize when clothing in this world. Our sages said that each and every one tasted every- thing he or she wanted to taste in it.
That means that it had to have opposite forms in it. One person tasted sweet and the other tasted it as acrid and bitter. Thus, the manna itself had to have been contained of both opposites together, for can one give what is not in one? How can two opposites be contained in the same carrier?
It is therefore a must that it is simple, and devoid of both flavors, but only included in them in such a way that the corporeal receiver might discern the taste he or she wants. In the same way you can perceive anything spiritual: it is unique and simple in itself, but consists of the entire multiplicity of forms in the world. When falling in the hand of a corporeal receiver, it is the receiver who discrimi- nates a separate form in it, unlike all other forms that unite in that spiritual essence.
3.09 RABASH,
Article No. 19 (1986}, "Concerning Joy"
As soon as the creature is created, he consists of two opposites: 1) vessels of reception, 2) vessels of bestowal. There is no greater oppositeness than this. These two opposites come in one carrier, but one at a time, and it seems as though there is a middle line that contains both of them:
) the will to receive,
) the will to bestow.
The middle line contains both of them when the will to receive is included in the will to bestow, called "receiving in order to bestow." It follows that the two forces are included in this middle line, meaning reception and bestowal together.
Article No. 45 (1991), "What Does It Mean that a Judge Must Judge Absolutely Truthfully, in the Work?"
It is written, "'Peace, peace, to the far and to the near,' said the Lord, 'and I will heal him.'" We should interpret "far" and "near" in the work. "Far" means left line. That is, when a person places a judge to judge how he behaves in the work, he sees how far he is from the Creator. "To the near" means when a person returns to working on the right line, which is when he sees only wholeness. That is, he values the work and considers even a small grip on Torah and Mitzvot as a fortune, since he does not even deserve the little bit of nearness. Hence, in a state of "right," a person is considered "close to the Creator."
But those two lines are disputed with each other, since they contradict one another. At that time comes the middle line and decides and makes peace between them. This is regarded as the Creator making peace between them, as it is known that the Creator is called the "middle line."

Fungal diversity from various marine habitats deduced through culture-independent studies
Manohar, C.S.; Raghukumar, C.
Citation: FEMS Microbiology Letters, vol.341; 2013; 69-78
Studies on the molecular diversity of the micro-eukaryotic community have shown that fungi occupy a central position in a large number of marine habitats. Environmental surveys using molecular tools have shown the presence of fungi from a large number of marine habitats such as deep-sea habitats, pelagic waters, coastal regions, hydrothermal vent ecosystem, anoxic habitats, and icecold regions. This is of interest to a variety of research disciplines like ecology, evolution, biogeochemistry, and biotechnology. This review summarizes how molecular tools have helped to broaden understanding of the fungal diversity in various marine habitats. Majority of the environmental phylotypes could be grouped as novel clades within Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Chytridiomycota or as basal fungal lineages. Deep-branching novel environmental clusters could be grouped within Ascomycota as the Pezizomycotina clone group, deep-sea fungal group-I, and soil clone group-I, within Basidiomycota as the hydrothermal and/or anaerobic fungal group, and within Chytridiomycota as Cryptomycota or the Rozella clade. However, a basal true marine environmental cluster is still to be identified as most of the clusters include representatives from terrestrial regions. The challenge for future research is to explore the true marine fungi using molecular techniques.

Q: Is there a way to fix or bypass weird time formats in a specific column in a dataframe? I am working with a SLURM dataset in Pandas that has time formats like so in the 'Elapsed' column:
00:00:00
00:26:51

However, sometimes there are sections that are greater than 24 hours, and it displays it like so:
1-00:02:00
3-01:25:02

I want to find the mean of the entire column but it mishandles the to_timedelta conversion on the entries with entries above 24 hours like shown above. One example is this:
Before to_timedelta: 3-01:25:02
after to_timedelta: -13 days +10:34:58

I cannot simply convert the column into a new format because when entry is not greater than 24 hours, preceding zeros do not exist, ex: 0-20:00:00
This method would be easiest I believe if there is a way however.
Is there a way to fix this conversion or any other ideas on approaching this?

A: One way to go around is replacing - with days:
pd.to_timedelta(df['time'].str.replace('-','days'))

Output (for 4 lines above):
0   0 days 00:00:00
1   0 days 00:26:51
2   1 days 00:02:00
3   3 days 01:25:02
Name: time, dtype: timedelta64[ns]


We've recently added a new 250 km multi day pack, our Lightweight Liquid Food pack. These are perfect for multistage races or expeditions where you need to carry all of your food with you.
In the pack is our best selling Liqid food Ultra Fuel and Extreme 4:1 Energy, Endurance, Electrolyte and protein recovery drink. These slowly release high quality energy that starts to take effect after around 6 minutes compared to the normal 35 minutes that other food and energy bars take.
The pack does not include anything for Breakfast on the first day as that does not need to be carried and can be anything you like and does not include afternoon or evening on the last day, as it is a short day, and most will be finished by early afternoon. It is expected that you will supplement with your favourite snacks & treats to meet the Event oranisers rules and regulations.
Of course you can use any combination you would like, as well as any other food items you bring along. Pack prices are £99.99, saving £20 as opposed to if you were to order individually.
If you need any help with your race or expedition nutrition, our expert staff are always on hand to help.
In a mountain marathon you will be in the mountains looking after yourself for 2 days straight. This means carrying your own gear, navigating the course, sorting out your sleeping arrangements, and also means being responsible for your own food. Let us take on the job of planning your food to take with you!
We've put together some meaty packs and a vegetarian packs to make packing and carrying your food as easy as possible. Including energy drink sachets, energy bars, a main meal, dessert and breakfast. You get all your nutritional needs from start to finish to keep you going and focused on navigating the trails. With our food being low weight and a compact size, you can fit more of other necessities you may need on your journey.
If you want to put together your own food pack, have a look at our range of meals and snacks that you can order separately.
If you plan to get your DofE Expedition Reward, we've got everything you need to put together a great lightweight and compact size nutrition pack for your challenges, or ready made packs here.
It's important that you plan out your food as to what you need nutritionally to keep you energised, and also what you can fit in your pack that isn't too heavy. Our Pack N Go freeze dried meals are low weight and small size meaning you can fit more essentials in your pack without compromising on weight. We also have ready to eat meals that can be eaten hot or cold no matter where you are. All of our one day packs include a breakfast, main meal, dessert, drinks pack with tea, coffee, sugar and creamers, oatcakes, jam, a high energy flapjack and chocolate bar. You can order more than one for longer expeditions, use in combination with our other products or to supplement your own food.
Contact us today for help in putting together a DofE pack and get the right nutrition.
Ready to Eat meals are beneficial to have on hand or pack to take with you for many reasons. The biggest benefit is that they can be eaten hot or cold, so if you don't have a way to heat them up you can still enjoy a meal and get the nutrition you need. We sell both ready to eat meals on their own, or that come with a self heating pack. If you see a meal you want that doesn't come as a package, don't worry! You can order a flameless MRE heater separately to heat up your meals on the go. The great thing about a ready to eat meal is that you don't need extra equipment, such as plates, pans or can openers, just tear the pouch open and you've got a delicious meal ready for you.
Other ways to heat up your meal include 'boiling' the bag in hot water for several minutes, or you can use an alternative heat source such as a radiator or car engine. You must be careful if you are using another heat source that it doesn't get too hot and melt or even burn the pouch. You should never use an open flame to heat ready to eat meals as the plastic layers of the pouch can melt and contaminate the food inside, and if you use a microwave you must empty the contents onto a plate as the pouch contains aluminium.
The specially designed pouch means all the meals have a long shelf life of five or more years depending on how you store your food pouches. This makes them a great choice to store and keep around in case of emergencies such as floods, power cuts and more. As ready to eat meals are portable and light weight, they are ideal for hikers and campers to keep on hand to toss into their pack for their next adventure. Athletes participating in Ultra Marathons where they need quick meals on the go over several days find they are a great addition to their race kit as they don't take up a lot of space and give them the nutrition they need.
Whether you are stocking up for emergencies or tossing one in your pack for your next adventure, you know that you will have a delcious tasting meal with our ready to eat meals.
Opposed to frozen or dehydrated food, freeze dried food only removes the water content, leaving you with tasty food once you've added water back to it. Unlike other methods, freeze dried food retains it's shape and tastes just as fresh when rehydrated. The freeze drying process removes around 98% of the water from the food, but not the great fresh taste or vitamins and nutrients.
*They are much lighter to pack when you are traveling. Since they are such low weight and a smaller size, they are easy to toss into packs for hiking, camping etc.
*They have a long shelf life. Because the water content has been removed and the food then stored in airtight and moisture-proof packaging, they can be stored for months, and sometimes even years without spoiling.
*They can be stored virtually anywhere. As freeze dried meal packs only need to be stored at room temperature, you can store them virtually anywhere for a ready meal when you need it.
*They don't just stop at main meals! At Extreme Adventure Food we offer a range of meaty and vegetarian main meals, along with breakfast options and even dessert. So you can have a three course meal throw in your pack or waiting for you at your cabin in the woods.
As not everyone has the same needs when it comes to their adventure food, we want everyone to be able to tailor a nutrition plan that's right for them and their activities. This is why our freeze dried breakfasts, desserts, vegetarian and meaty main meals all come in sizes ranging from 125g and 180g meaning you can mix and match different meals to get the right amount of weight in your packs as well as the right amount of calories.
For bigger appetites or those needing more energy to fuel their adventures, we stock 800kcal extreme breakfasts, vegetarian and meaty main meals. We also stock 1000kcal main meals for those needing even more energy.
You can fit more in your pack as well since we aim to make our food the lowest weight and most compact size available! For snacks in-between meals we stock Chia Charge flapjacks and Cliff natural energy bars, meaning we are your one stop shop for adventure nutrition!
When rock climbing, it's important to think about your nutrition, and exactly what you will need to be consuming to power you through the climb and help your body recover after. Rock climbing is a challenging sport, and can be very damaging to your muscles. Therefore proper nutrition will not only help you be a better climber by giving you the energy when you need it, but also make sure your muscles are taken care of.
There are three stages to think about – Priming, Fuelling, and Recovery.
In the Priming stage you want to make sure you fully hydrate, water being the best way to do this at the recommended one litre or more before your climb. Next you will need to make sure to prime your muscles and take in something that will be a quick source of energy. A good way to do this is with carbohydrates as this helps raise your blood glucose level helping to sustain your muscle endurance. Protein has been shown to minimise fatigue so it's good to add some form of protein, whether in food or in a gel that can be absorbed quickly.
Next is the fuelling stage during your climb. It's important to prevent dehydration and remain hydrated, control and reduce any damage to your muscles, and provide a quick source of energy to keep you going. It's important to keep a balance of both carbohydrates and protein, as studies have shown this to me the most effective at reducing muscle damage. Carbohydrate/protein mix drinks and gels are an effective way to get the nutrition that you need quickly, such as our Ultra Fuel energy 4:1 drinks.
Lastly is the recovery phase. There is a window of 30-45 minutes in which your body is in a heightened state of replenishing muscle energy and protein therefore reducing muscle damage. Within this window you should be rehydrating, and using again a mix of Carbohydrates/Protein in a 4:1 ratio to get the best results.
For more information, take a look at PacificHealth Labs studies and a great table showing what you should be consuming during each phase.
Its not just bodybuilders who need to ensure they are getting enough protein. Our bodies are always renewing damaged cells and tissue, especially after your long hard run. To do this athletes need to make sure they have a regular intake of protein.
Typically an average athlete requires 55gms per day, but as you would expect, intensive excercise increases the amount of protein you need.
As a guidline athletes should be looking at 1.8g per Kg of bodyweight, although in some cases up to 2g per Kg of body weight can be beneficial.
Not all proteins ofer the same level of nourishment.
