Örbyhus kyrka är en kyrkobyggnad som tillhör Vendel-Tegelsmora församling, Uppsala stift. Kyrkan ligger i samhället Örbyhus i Tierps kommun.

Föregående kyrka
I samband med en visitation av ärkebiskop Nathan Söderblom väcktes förslaget att bygga en kyrka i Örbyhus. När ärkebiskop Erling Eidem visiterade församlingen 1940 tog ärendet fart. Ärkebiskopen överlämnade ett startkapital till en kyrkostiftelse som bildades 5 november 1941. Första söndagen i advent 1943 startades regelbunden gudstjänstverksamhet i en hyrd Godtemplarlokal. 1957 inköptes tingshuset i Örbyhus tillsammans med en vaktmästarbostad. Tingshusets stora sal inreddes till gudstjänslokal, medan dess övriga lokaler blev sakristia, studierum och pastorsexpedition. Vaktmästarbostaden gjordes om till prästgård. 26 september 1959 invigdes Örbyhus kyrka av ärkebiskop Gunnar Hultgren. En fristående klockstapel uppfördes 1961 efter ritningar av Torsten Levén som var dåvarande kyrkoherde i Vendel. 1974 genomfördes en ombyggnad av lokalerna och husets övervåning togs i anspråk.

Nuvarande kyrka
Önskan hade hela tiden funnits att få till en riktig kyrka. Hösten 1987 annonserades en vandringskyrka till försäljning. Kyrkan hette Sankt Pers kyrka och hade sedan 1967 legat på Kvarngärdet i Uppsala. Vandringskyrkan, som nu var ersatt av en större byggnad, monterades ned och återuppfördes på sin nuvarande plats i Örbyhus. Kyrkan placerades strax intill det före detta tingshuset som nu blev församlingshem. 11 september 1988 invigdes kyrkan av domprost Clarence Nilsson.
Träkyrkan är tillverkad av Oresjö Sektionshus och är till sin form en treskeppig basilika. Den är orienterad i öst-västlig riktning med ingången i öster och koret i väster. Numera är kyrkan vitmålad. Under början av 2000-talet fick kyrkans västsida ett nytt fönster bestående av blästrade och färgade glasskivor med olika motiv.

Inventarier
 Dopfunten skänktes 1959 till gamla kyrkan av söndagsskolebarn. Överdelen av mässing bär texten: LÅTEN BARNEN KOMMA TILL MIG. En ny dopvattenkanna är införskaffad 1995.
 Ett processionskors och två processionsljusstakar av trä är tillverkade av Thure Wärnebjörk respektive Gustav Andersson och kom till kyrkan 1996.
 Kyrksilvret är designat och tillverkat 1959 av juveleraren Eric Löfman i Uppsala. En brudkrona av silver är också tillverkad 1959 av Eric Löfman.
 En mässhake av vitt konstsiden och en mässhake av möstrat grönt linne är båda tillverkade av Elna Lindberg och kom till kyrkan 1959. 1967 tillkom en mässhake av violett ylle.

Orgel
1976 flyttade Mads Kjersgaard, Uppsala en orgel hit från Lärarhögskolan i Stockholm. Den var byggd 1957 av Wilhelm Hemmersam, Köpenhamn och är en mekanisk orgel med slejflådor. Tonomfånget är på 54/27. 1976 sattes en Sesquialtera II in istället för en Regal 16'.

 Orgeln med 30 stämmor två manualer och pedal är en digitalorgel av märket Allen. Orgeln flyttades över 1997 från Vendels kyrka.

Wijnaldum: Liverpool can remain unbeaten all season
The Reds are enjoying a perfect start to the Premier League campaign.

Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
GEORGINIO WIJNALDUM BELIEVES it is possible for Liverpool to emulate the Invincibles of Arsenal by going unbeaten for an entire Premier League season.
Arsene Wenger's feted team of 2003-04 remains the only side to have not suffered a single loss through all 38 matches of English football's modern top-flight competition.
Liverpool lost once last term but finished second behind Manchester City, whose manager, Pep Guardiola, described an undefeated campaign as a "ridiculous" notion given the demands on clubs competing on multiple fronts.
But with the Reds victorious in each of their eight league games this season, midfielder Wijnaldum thinks a slice of history is there to be earned.
"It is possible," Wijnaldum said, in quotes reported by The Mirror.
"Nobody knows how it's going to be. We have had some luck up to now, but we have also put a lot of hard work in.
We don't think about the fact that Arsenal did not lose in that season. We just try to give everything in every game."
European champions Liverpool are widely expected to continue their perfect start in Sunday's much-anticipated match against Manchester United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side are in a wretched run of form and will be without injured stars David de Gea and Paul Pogba for the Old Trafford encounter.
But the leaders will not be taking any chances when it comes to defending their eight-point advantage at the top, according to Wijnaldum.
The way we handle every match is to respect the opponent and give 100 per cent," the Netherlands international said.
"We try to do everything as good as possible, to work as hard as possible.
"Every game in the Premier League is tough. Look at the results we have had. I can't remember a game where it was easy.
"We have won them all so far because we give everything and were totally concentrated. Also, we have had a little bit of luck."

Girl's softball lost to Alameda High School 5-4 on March 14, a tough setback for a squad with hopes of besting their record from the 2018 season.
"We are going to get them next time. This loss won't get our team down," said sophomore Cassie Charlton.
As the only squad in the district to have won an NCS game last year, the squad is under pressure to win again this season. The loss is the 1st of the season for the Cougars.
Senior Katie Poole is confident her squad will meet these expectations. "I think we'll probably do as [well] or better than last year," she said.
Unfortunately, the biggest challenge in 2019 hasn't necessarily been the opposing teams. The rainy weather has already forced several games to be canceled. If the weather permits it, the softball team will host its next game April 9 against Mt. Diablo High School.


The winter months are known for their holiday cheer, chilly weather, and most importantly: snow, mud and slush. While movies and television shows make snow out to be something aesthetically pleasing and scenic, many people who live in snowy areas know how troublesome it can be. Slush, muddy snow, and massive amounts of shoveling are just a few of the downsides.
It can be difficult to keep your house clean during the snowy season, especially if you have children or pets. Kids and dogs are both notoriously bad about forgetting to wipe their feet, and snowy slush picks up dirt like a magnet. This mess can spread to your tile floors, hardwood, carpet, and rugs … these cleaning tips will come in handy: spring cleaning tips.
Prepping for snow season can be a good way to reduce the mess. Lay down some ground rules for the other residents of the house when it comes to how they enter the home on a particularly dirty day. Buy rubber place-mats for your entryways, and invest in a shoe rack that is located right by the door. Requiring people to take off their shoes on the entryway mat will help reduce the amount of mud and snow that gets tracked in, and you can stop worrying about the footprints on your carpet and tile. Rubber mats are easy to clean, can be rinsed off anytime and will lock the majority of the mud and slush when people come in and wipe their shoes off.
If you have a mudroom or garage, prep that too (don't have a mudroom? Your real estate agent in Chevy Chase, MD, might tell you should add one for home value!) Many people just use the garage door to get into the house, so don't hesitate to put down a rubber mat and shoe rack there too. Seal your garage floors to prevent stains and water damage, especially if you park your car within your garage during the winter months.
Got pets? They can track in an unbelievable amount of mud and slush. If you have a doggy door, set up a baby-gate around it. Put down some towels, and only let your dog run free once they've wiped their feet. Dogs can be easily trained to wipe their feet before entering the home. Keep a hand-towel nearby if you need to clean their paws after a walk or potty break, and wipe down long-haired dogs to get rid of excess snow and water.
Make sure to stock up on spot-cleaner, especially if you have light colored carpet. Spot-checking your carpets can save them from stains and unsightly messes. If you clean as you go and vacuum regularly, you will reduce how often you have to professionally clean your carpets. Keep an eye on your furniture too, and keep your spray-bottle on hand for emergencies.
Your city might get more snowfall than another, so be prepared if you live in an area notorious for snow. While someone in Texas might laugh at the idea of heavy snowfall, a New Yorker may feel completely different about the idea. According to the most recent surveys, these are to top five cities with the most snowfall , also make sure that you get in contact with a local real estate agent if your home is in one of this cities … he will give you ideas about owning a home during winter season.
If you live in any of these cities or know that your area is likely to see a heavy winter, prepare accordingly before the big snows fall. Winterizing your home can go a long way in saving you stress during the snowy months. Once the weather warms up, get your carpet cleaned immediately to prevent long-term staining. Just be sure that winter is actually over first!

"Exciting, revolutionary UK high street bank" Metro Bank is having an exciting, revolutionary lie-down today as its mobile app falls over and its website totters.
Problems first surfaced at around 11am today (UK time) as users of the outfit's mobile banking app began encountering issues.
By 12pm the bank's Twitter orifice admitted that the wannabe financial heavyweight (which currently has 1,620,000 accounts on its books, according to its 2018 (PDF) report) was "currently experiencing difficulty with its services".
At the time of writing, the bank's status page is a delight of red and yellow, with the mobile app flagged as "experiencing an issue and isn't working".
Maybe ditch the app and go for the web version?
Oops, the bad news bus has paid a visit to Personal, Business and Commercial online banking. All three "may be working slowly or unavailable".
No problem, though. Punters can just pick up the phone, right? Er, maybe not. For the contact centre, the message is: "Sorry, we're experiencing a high volume of calls, meaning it may take longer than expected to speak to someone."
With no ETA for resolution in sight, the harassed support staff have taken to directing customers to find their nearest branch instead.
El Reg called the bank to find out what was going on and were told "thanks for making me aware" after we read out the text shown on the bank's own status page.
Shortly after, we received the following statement: "We are currently investigating an issue affecting our mobile app and are working to resolve it as a matter of priority. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused and we'll provide further updates as soon as possible."
It has been a tough old time for Metro Bank of late, with shares tumbling despite the outfit recording a 140 per cent increase in underlying profit before tax in 2018. Year on year, the figure went from £20.8m to £50m.
The bank has also seen customer accounts jump from 403,000 to 1,620,000.
However, investors have been left rattled after the bank 'fessed up to a miscategorisation in loans earlier this year, which sent shares plunging.

The value of Peter Obi
As I begin these lines, I remember 1998 like yesterday. An old man on the street where I lived in Ondo town, exasperated by General Sani Abacha's bloodthirsty rule, shrugged and said the following: "Well, at least he will leave the position in his old age." Those were the days when it was almost an anathema to think of democracy. Had God Almighty not taken Abacha out of the way just a few days after the man I have just referenced made his doleful comment, there would have been no democracy in 1999. The way Abacha and his colleagues carried on, it was as if they owned this world. They could kill and jail people at will. They looted the country dry and, in the words of the poet Tanure Ojaide, "threw questioners to hyenas."
Ahead of the 2023 presidential election, the arrogance that characterized the Abacha years is here in full force as politicians trade Nigeria and Nigerians among themselves like Abacha and his goons did just before thunder struck. Donaldson Oladipo Diya and others were supposed to die and the military officers who wallowed in wine and women were supposed to rule till eternity, crushing any kind of dissent…
I am not an Obidient, but Peter Obi is the one among the three major presidential contenders who, in my view, really deserves to be elected to lead Nigeria in 2023. First off, he comes from the South-East, a region that has been marginalized for too long in the presidential scheme of things. If Nigeria doesn't want the South-East people to secede and form Biafra, it cannot at the same time, and in good conscience, shut them out of the presidency. If you say you do not trust the Igbo and that an Igbo presidency would mean the disintegration of Nigeria, and you rotate the presidency between the Yoruba and the Fulani, then you must allow them to go and form their own country! If anything, an Igbo presidency could douse the fire of secessionist agitation that threatens to consume Nigeria if concrete steps are not taken to douse it. I am deliberately "toning down" my language because I want the things I say here to be understood even by primary school pupils.
Second, among the leading presidential candidates, Obi is the one that seems to be making a real effort to speak and engage with the Nigerian people. The others tend to be aloof, speaking through spokesmen and, in this regard, the APC candidate, Bola Ahmed Tinubu, seems to be the worst. Let me shift to him for a moment. Tinubu is a university graduate, a first class degree holder for that matter, and a strategic politician. But he is not talking to Nigerians and seems to be ensconced in his own cocoon. Then, he is insufferably arrogant, self-absorbed and greedy. It was this arrogance that made him to refer to a sitting governor as "this one", claim to have "forgiven" a vice president for daring to contest against him, and say that it was his "turn" to rule Nigeria as if we were mere chattel. Thus, instead of acknowledging his lowly origins and using it to advantage, he keeps basking in unearned grandeur. He also talks about Lagos as if it wasn't a federal capital long before him. Lagos is my state and I know the great works that Buba Marwa and others did in the state. Tinubu arrogates his own work and that of Ambode and Fashola all to himself. That's kinda funny.
Beyond that, Tinubu has no logical reason to solicit Yoruba votes. For long, he has dilly-dallied on the things that the Yoruba hold dear, including the agitation for a restructured Nigeria. He kicked against the 2014 National Conference simply because it was being organized by a PDP government. But that even pales into insignificance considering his major role in denying the Yoruba people the Speakership position in 2011. It is no secret that Tinubu and his ACN members sold the speakership position zoned by the PDP to the South-West to outsiders simply because it wasn't their party that was in power. The Yoruba say that one's child's waist cannot be so out of shape that one throws the beads meant for it around another person's child's. If Tinubu wasn't Yoruba enough to support the South-West in 2011, why is he Yoruba enough to get South-West votes in 2023?
For Atiku Abubakar, although he is managing (and keep your attention focused on this word) to speak to Nigerians and has in fact tried to focus on the solutions to the ills that afflict Nigerians, his very candidature amounts to an utter provocation. Atiku, a Fulani man, is trying to succeed another Fulani man after eight years of disastrous leadership. He ought to have thrown his weight behind Obi and reciprocated the South-East's gesture of goodwill towards his candidacy in 2019. Moreover, Atiku often gives the impression of desperation that borders on demonism. He disclaimed a well-crafted statement issued by his aides condemning the brutal killing of Deborah Samuel, a college of education student, by bloodthirsty co-students, simply because someone threatened that sympathy for a Christian martyr would cost him votes in the Muslim North. By that action, Atiku proved that he does not deserve to be seen in decent company.

And now Peter Obi, my preference for 2023 until further notice. Obi is no saint and often makes mistakes in his speech, notably using "have" instead of "has," but he is actually genuine. Long before he became a presidential candidate, he was actually seen at an airport with only one aide. He lives a simple life and unlike most politicians, he actually means what he says. Nigerians need a president that can relate well with them; a mentally alert, energetic president and I think Obi does fit the bill. However, he tends to over-promise and does not place the kind of emphasis that needs to be placed on restructuring the polity.
But then, if he actually wants to be president, he must spend money and spend money generously. He doesn't give "shishi" and that it is good because it is naira and dollars that election requires in Nigeria. On election day, unless heavily persuaded not to do so, voters will forget all the grammar of 2022 and sell their votes. Obi is in a contest with moneybags and must get moneybags on his train.

This is the full Text of the Supreme Court Of Queensland judgement in relation to the appeal by Pauline Hanson and David Ettridge.
The court quashed the convictions and sentences. Hanson and Ettridge were released from jail as a result.
Supreme Court of Queensland judgement.
indictment, direct that judgments and verdicts of acquittal be entered. Applications for leave to appeal against sentence dismissed.
 de JERSEY CJ: Each appellant was convicted by a jury in the District Court on 20 August 2003 of the offence, under s 408C(1)(f) of the Criminal Code, of dishonestly inducing the Electoral Commissioner (on 4 December 1997) to register "Pauline Hanson's One Nation" as a political party under the Electoral Act 1992 (although the Electoral Commissioner was lawfully entitled to abstain from doing that). Each was sentenced to three years imprisonment. The appellant Hanson was additionally convicted pursuant to s 408C(1)(b) of two offences of dishonestly obtaining property, $225,071.07 from the Electoral Commissioner on 2 September 1998 and $273,566.24 on 25 September 1998. She was sentenced to concurrent three year terms in respect of those offences.
 The first offence arose from Ms Hanson's presentation to the Electoral Commissioner on 15 October 1997 of an application to register the political party "Pauline Hanson's One Nation" under the Electoral Act. The Act required (s70(4)(e)) that the application set out the names of 500 members of the party who were electors. The appellant Mr Ettridge arranged for the requisite list to be produced, for the purpose of presentation in support of the application for registration, and it accompanied the application which was presented by Ms Hanson to the Electoral Commissioner.
 The Crown contended that those on the list were not members of the party, but members only of a separate, incorporated body, the Pauline Hanson Support Movement, and that appreciating that, the appellants dishonestly presented the list in support of the application for registration. There was direct liability in the case of Ms Hanson – who actually presented the list to the Electoral Commissioner, and liability under s 7 of the Criminal Code in the case of Mr Ettridge, on the basis he aided Ms Hanson. In convicting the appellants, the jury must of course have been satisfied of those matters beyond reasonable doubt.
 The second and third counts, in respect of the appellant Ms Hanson alone, concern payments made to her, as agent of the registered political party Pauline Hanson's One Nation, following the success at the 1998 Queensland State election of candidates endorsed by that party. The dishonesty found by the jury must have rested in the appellants' dishonestly securing the registration of the party on the same basis as involved in the first count – that is, relying on a list of names of persons purportedly being members of the party, but in fact, as the appellant Ms Hanson knew, members of the separate support organization.
 Those additional counts in respect of Ms Hanson were subsidiary to the subject matter of count one. Once registration of the political party, Pauline Hanson's One Nation, contemplated under count one, had been effected, then consequentially upon the subsequent electoral success of its endorsed candidates, the registered officer of that party was statutorily entitled to claim the payments which were in fact made. In that way, Ms Hanson's commission of the second and third offences charged was subsidiary to the first.
 Ms Hanson was represented at the trial by a solicitor. Mr Ettridge represented himself. Each was represented by Counsel on the hearing of the appeal.
 Ms Hanson appeals against her conviction on a number of grounds. The main ground is that the Crown did not establish beyond reasonable doubt that the persons named on the list accompanying the application to register the party were not members of the party (and were members of a separate, support organization). Counsel for Ms Hanson submits the position for which she contends is so clear that the learned trial Judge should have directed an acquittal. Alternatively, the persons named on the list were members of a "related political party", it is submitted, so that the statutory requirement was in fact met. Ms Hanson also contends that five particular pieces of evidence were wrongly admitted (concerning "levels of membership" of what may generically be termed "One Nation"), and alternatively, their having been admitted, the Judge failed to direct the jury properly that the evidence did not bear on the question with what entity contracts of membership were effected. Ms Hanson contends that additional pieces of evidence, prima facie admissible against Mr Ettridge, should not have been admitted in her trial, because "highly prejudicial" to her position. She challenges a pre-trial ruling of another Judge against separate trials, that Judge having rejected a contention that disproportion between the evidence separately admissible against the respective accused would prejudice the appellant Ms Hanson. Ms Hanson challenges the trial Judge's refusal to discharge the jury when Mr Ettridge elicited findings of an earlier civil proceeding in the Supreme Court concerning the registration of One Nation. She also challenges the trial Judge's pre-trial refusal permanently to stay the indictment, essentially on the basis of adverse publicity. She generally challenges the summing up for lack of necessary precision, and particularly the Judge's failure to remind the jury of the evidence of one Targett, the sole witness called for Mr Ettridge.
 For his part, Mr Ettridge challenges the trial Judge's rejection of a submission of "no case to answer", on the ground the evidence was not capable of establishing beyond reasonable doubt that the list accompanying the registration application did not name 500 members of the party, or members of a related political party. He separately criticizes the summing up for want of any direction as to "the manner in which a person could become a member of a political party", as to whether those named on the list might have been members of "a related political party", and as to what is involved in aiding under s 7 of the Criminal Code. Mr Ettridge also challenges aspects of the cross-examination of his witness Mr Targett, and her Honour's failure to refer to Mr Targett's evidence in her summing up.
 Each appellant separately applies for leave to appeal against sentence, on the ground the sentences imposed were manifestly excessive.
 The issue of fundamental significance is whether, on the evidence adduced, the Crown could establish beyond reasonable doubt that those named on the list accompanying the application for registration of the political party were not members of Ms Hanson's political party, but were members only of the separate organization, Pauline Hanson Support Movement.
 The verdicts posit the jury's satisfaction beyond reasonable doubt that those named on the list were not members of the political party, and that the appellants knew that. I deal first with the question whether, notwithstanding the jury's satisfaction, the evidence was capable of supporting the conclusion that those on the list were not members of the political party. The appellants contend that the evidence necessarily warranted the conclusion that they were members of the political party.
 The Pauline Hanson Support Movement was established in late 1996. It was incorporated in March the following year. Its head office was located, some time later, in Sydney. One of its objects was to remain a non-political support organization for Pauline Hanson.
constituted, by a resolution of Ms Hanson, Mr Ettridge and Mr David Oldfield, on 23 February 1997. That organization was a registered association not separately incorporated, also with its office in Sydney. It was registered federally as a political party on 27 June 1997, and in Queensland on 4 December 1997.
 In order to determine which organization an applicant for membership joined, it is necessary to examine all of the available evidence of the application to join, and of the treatment and result of the application. On the evidence available here, each person whose name appears on the contentious list provided to the Electoral Commissioner filled in an application form headed "Pauline Hanson's One Nation", which is the name of the political party, and sent it, as requested on the form, to "Pauline Hanson's One Nation" at a post office address at Manly, New South Wales. The membership fee paid by those applicants was of the order of $40/$50. The application was processed at the Manly office by Ms Wright, an employee of the party. She did that at the request of Mr Ettridge, who was responsible for the operation of the Manly office and was a member of the management committee of the political party. The applicant was issued with a receipt in the name of the political party, and a membership card, again recording the name of the party and stating: "Members of Pauline Hanson's One Nation are dedicated to assisting candidates endorsed by Pauline Hanson to win seats in the next Federal Election." The name of the applicant was entered upon the membership list, maintained by the party.
(1) One Nation members have full voting rights.
The Crown contention at the trial was that both those species of membership concerned membership within the support movement: how, it was asked, could the support movement be making determinations upon membership issues in relation to the political party? Certainly the voting rights of the "One Nation members" – being those in issue here – must be read as rights exercisable within the support movement, not the political party. The second tier members, the "Pauline Hanson One Nation supporters", paid only $5 membership fees, and lacked voting rights. The membership cards issued to those second tier members, processed through the support movement branches unlike the higher level applications which were processed through the political party head office, were also distinguishable in presentation from the cards issued to "One Nation members".
 The Crown position was consistent with many public declarations by the appellants, and written confirmation to the same effect, that there were intended to be, and were, only three members of the political party, themselves and Mr David Oldfield. But the constitution of the political party imposed no such limitation. The limitation was intended to be achieved in practice by the Management Committee's discharging its role under the constitution, in determining whether to admit or reject applicants (cl 9), by not admitting further members. The evidence did not however disclose any intervention by the Management Committee in relation to any application prior to the despatch of membership cards and the entry of the name of the applicant upon the party's membership register.
 Part of the matrix of fact against which one determines the contractual position is anything relevantly known to an applicant of the process for receipt and treatment of applications. It was not clearly established what, precisely, particular applicants knew. The membership application forms were part of the support organization branch "starter kits". If an applicant had examined the starter kit, he or she would have noticed a distinction consistently drawn between the political party and the support movement; that $5 membership applications were processed without "head office", Manly involvement; and that to be elected to hold office in a support movement branch, the person needed to be a "One Nation member". None of that, if known, should objectively have led an applicant for the higher level membership to the view that he or she was seeking to join the support organization, not the party.
 The only objectively discernable circumstance supporting the Crown position in any degree is the content of the reverse-side of the higher level membership card, which sets out Pauline Hanson's goals and as well, the goals of the support organization. There may be two explanations for that, consistently with the person's nevertheless having been admitted to membership of the political party. The first is that providing information about both aspects of the overall organization would be of general interest to party members. The second, more likely, explanation is that upon taking up the higher level One Nation membership, an applicant effectively joined both the party and the support organization. As has been seen, that level of membership accorded voting rights exercisable at the support organization branch meetings.
 Much of the evidence led at the trial amounted to the subjective interpretations of the applicants for membership and the appellants of the party structure, as to what was intended and what was in fact achieved. The applicants for the most part apparently believed they had joined the party. On the other hand, the appellants were at pains to stress that the only members of the party were themselves and Mr Oldfield. Although evidence of various statements of that ilk made orally or in writing was admissible, so far as it came from the appellants, in relation to proof of the dishonesty alleged in the charge, those subjective interpretations could not legitimately aid a determination of the scope of the contracts entered into by the applicants for membership including identifying the contracting parties. That fell to be determined by reference to the objectively discernable circumstances of and surrounding the execution and submission of the applications and their treatment by the recipient.
 At the trial, the Crown appears to have proceeded on the basis that evidence of statements of intent and expressions of opinion of that character, by the appellants, was admissible, as relevant to the determination of the question with whom the contracts were effected. They were presented as admissions against interest. That position, said to be supported by Sharples v O'Shea  QCA 23, was maintained at the hearing of the appeal.
 Sharples v O'Shea was a civil case, involving different parties, in which the registration of Pauline Hanson's One Nation was set aside. That learned trial Judge, sitting without a jury, held the list provided in support of the application for registration did not contain the names of members of the party, but the names of members of the support organization, and that it was fraudulently presented.
 Among the evidence apparently accepted by her Honour in those civil proceedings was the evidence of Andrew Carne that, quoting from the judgment, "David Ettridge said he needed to produce a list of 500 members to register Pauline Hanson's One Nation in Queensland. Mr Carne asked him how they could use the database which included people who were not members of the political party. Mr Ettridge said that it did not matter as "they are only public servants. They just want to see a list of names, they wouldn't check it out" … Mr Carne printed out a full list of Queensland names which was given to Mr Ettridge who apparently then lost it and asked Mr Carne to explain by telephone to the office administrator, Claire Wright, in Sydney how to extract the Queensland names from the database." That evidence appears to have borne significantly on the conclusion the list was a sham. Mr Carne did not give evidence at this criminal trial, and evidence was not otherwise given of that alleged statement by Mr Ettridge.
 The learned trial Judge allowed the admission of evidence of the various statements by the appellants, as to structure and limitation on membership of the party etc, and relied on that evidence to support the inference, otherwise emerging from the evidence (especially, one might think, Mr Carne's), that the list was fraudulently prepared and presented.
 Neither of the present appellants gave evidence in those trial proceedings. Her Honour therefore relied on the principle in Jones v Dunkel (1959) 101 CLR 298 that "an inference may be drawn contrary to the interests of a party who, although having it within his or her power to provide or give evidence on some issue, declines to do so." That approach on her part, as endorsed by the Court of Appeal, was open in those proceedings.
 The preponderance of the available evidence points to the conclusion that the applicants for membership became members of the political party Pauline Hanson's One Nation, or more probably, of both that political party and the support movement. The Crown cannot on this evidence safely sustain the position upon which the convictions depend, that is, that the list comprises the names of persons who were not members of the political party but were members of the support movement only. It would be unsafe to allow the convictions to stand in these circumstances. The convictions must therefore be quashed, and because a retrial would in the circumstances be futile, judgments and verdicts of acquittal entered (s668E(2) Criminal Code).
 While it is strictly unnecessary to canvass the other issues raised in the proceeding, I will briefly express my views on two others which were the subject of substantial submissions.
 On the assumption that those named on the list were members only of the support organization, as the Crown contended, the question may have arisen whether that support organization was, vis a vis the political party, a "related political party" within the meaning of the Electoral Act 1992. Under s 70(4)(e), an application for registration of a party must set out the names and addresses of 500 "members of the party" who are electors. That is defined, by s 3, as "a member of the political party or a related political party". Political parties are "related" (s 6) if "one is a part of the other" or "both are parts of the same political party". A "political party" is "an organization whose object, or one of whose objects, is the promotion of the election to the Legislative Assembly of a candidate … endorsed by it or by a body or organization of which it forms a part" (s 3).
 First one would ask whether the support organization could be considered a political party, or part of a political party. Addressing its objects, one notes cl 3, "to assist any endorsed candidate with local fundraising and advocacy", and cl 5, "to identify from time to time and recommend suitable local candidates for endorsement by Pauline Hanson". Those objects may arguably amount to the intended "promotion of the election to the Legislative Assembly of a candidate … endorsed … by a body or organization" of which the support movement forms part, within the scope of the definition of "political party" in s 3.
 More broadly it would I consider have been arguable that the relationship between the party and the support organization was sufficiently close to warrant the conclusion that one was part of the other, or both were parts of the same political party within the scope of s 6.
 The Crown relied on a view expressed by Ms Wright, the branch coordinator of the support movement employed in the Sydney office, that "the Pauline Hanson Support Movement was a supporters' organization which was quite separate and distinct from the political party …". That amounted however to no more than her opinion on the matter. Whether the entities were related falls to be determined objectively.
 The appellant Ettridge raised, at an early stage, the question whether or not the support movement was "part of the same organization" as the political party (on 16 January 2003, at pp 131-2 and on 6 June 2003 at p 202). It was in my view a live issue which, having been raised, should have been left for the consideration of the jury, such that the absence of any reference to the point in the summing up amounts to a substantial deficiency. This would have warranted the quashing of the convictions and retrials.
 Ordinarily, the jury should have been instructed that, to warrant a conclusion that in having the list of names generated by the computer in Sydney and providing it to Ms Hanson who lodged it with the application, Mr Ettridge "aided" Ms Hanson in the commission of the offence contained in count one, Mr Ettridge must knowingly have done the acts for that particular purpose – facilitating Ms Hanson's dishonest provision of that document to the Commissioner in support of the application. See R v B & P  1 Qd R 296.
 There was however an admission by Mr Ettridge, in a statement to the investigating police which was admitted into evidence, that he provided the list to Ms Hanson for that very purpose: see p 2290 vol 10. That being the only evidence on the point, the absence of further instruction on the mechanics of s 7 was not, fortuitously, a deficiency in the summing up with any practical ramification.
 In light of the above, it is not necessary to deal with other points of criticism of the summing up, or the conduct of the trial, or the applications for leave to appeal against sentence.
 The court strives to deliver an early judgment where there is any reasonable prospect an appellant in custody will consequently be released. Hence the comparatively early publication of these reasons. If one or both of the other Judges on the court agrees in them, the appellants will at once be released and subject to no retrial.
 It should be understood that result will not mean the process has to this point been unlawful. While the appellants' experience will in that event have been insupportably painful, they will have endured the consequence of adjudication through due process in accordance with what is compendiously termed the rule of law.
 Members of the public will undoubtedly however query why the crystallization of the appellants' current position need have awaited a lengthy trial – approximately five weeks, and then an appeal. There is no easy answer to that question, although reference may be made to the extent, and level, of the involvement of lawyers throughout. Although I do not say this critically of Ms Hanson's representation, it is my view that had both appellants been represented by experienced trial counsel throughout, the relevance of all of the evidence would more likely have been addressed with appropriate precision.
 The case will in my view provide a further illustration of the need for a properly resourced, highly talented, top level team of prosecutors within or available to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions. In this complex case, which resulted in a trial of that length, and the consumption of vast public resources, highly talented lawyers of broad common law experience should desirably have been engaged from the outset in the preparation and then presentation of the Crown case. I do not raise this critically of the prosecutors who were involved: my observation relates to the resourcing of the Office. Had that been done, the present difficulty may well have been avoided.
sentences imposed in the District Court on 20 August 2003, and in respect of the indictment, direct that judgments and verdicts of acquittal be entered.
 It being unnecessary to determine the merits of the applications for leave to appeal against sentence, those applications should formally be dismissed.
 McMURDO P: I have read the reasons for judgment of the Chief Justice in which the relevant facts and issues are set out. I agree with the Chief Justice that, for the reasons he gives, the prosecution could not establish beyond reasonable doubt on the evidence in this case that the list of over 500 names provided by the appellant, Hanson, to the Electoral Commissioner was a list of members of the Pauline Hanson Support Movement and not of the political party, Pauline Hanson's One Nation. I will repeat only those facts necessary to explain the following brief observations.
 The evidence led at the trial was that applications for membership of Pauline Hanson's One Nation were forwarded to the office of the political party, Pauline Hanson's One Nation, where they were processed. Mr Menagh received the membership applications, filled out the details in a book of butts, wrote out receipts and completed a membership card, which he returned to the applicant. The application forms were then filed and he handed the completed butts to Claire Wright or Kimberley MacLean, who would enter the information on the butts into a computer data base. Mr Menagh was employed and paid by the political party, not the support movement.
 Kimberley MacLean did not give evidence. Claire Wright was also employed and paid by the political party. In 1997 she helped set up the party's office where she was responsible for memberships. When an application form for membership arrived, the accompanying subscription was noted and banked. The application form was placed in a pile and subsequently a membership card and receipt was returned to each applicant. The applicant's details were placed in a book of butts and she entered that information into the computer's data base of members. In October 1997, the appellant Ettridge requested her to print out a list of 500 or more Queensland members of the party from the data base. She sorted the data base by postcode and printed out a list of names of over 500 Queensland members and handed it to the appellant Ettridge.
 It is self-evident that the Sharples case turned on different evidence than this case and that the lower civil standard of proof applied. The evidence of Andrew Carne was significant in the reasoning of the primary judge in Sharples:(2) Carne's undisputed evidence, referred to by the primary judge and set out in para  of these reasons, was capable of supporting the inference that the list of names Ettridge provided to Hanson for the Electoral Commissioner was not a list of members of the party. This evidence, combined with the terms of the party's Constitution and the admissions said to have been made by the Management Committee, which had exclusive power to admit members to the political party,(3) in the absence of any contrary evidence from members of the Management Committee, was capable of establishing on the balance of probabilities that the list of members was not a list of members of the political party, Pauline Hanson's One Nation.
 The evidence in this trial differed from that in Sharples. Significantly, Mr Carne was not called to give evidence, apparently because, as the learned primary judge reminded the jury in her summing-up,(4) the investigating police officer assessed him as having absolutely no credit.
 Unlike in Sharples, the evidence in the appellants' trial established that those named in the list provided by Hanson to the Electoral Commissioner applied to join the political party with the required subscription, which was accepted and banked; a membership card then issued and their names were entered on a computerised data base of members. Over 500 names of Queensland residents were selected by postcode and printed out as the list provided by Ettridge to Hanson for the Electoral Commissioner. Despite some confusing material in the starter kits, this evidence was undisputed and supported the inference that the people named in the list were members of the political party rather than the support group. In the absence of contradictory evidence, that evidence was sufficient to objectively establish their membership. The evidence of statements made by Ettridge and Hanson suggesting that those who applied to be members of Pauline Hanson's One Nation did not become members of the party but of the support group, was not evidence of the objective intention of the parties at the time of contracting to join the unincorporated association, the political party, Pauline Hanson's One Nation. That evidence was, however, directly relevant as to whether the appellants had a dishonest intention when they presented that list to the Electoral Commissioner and, as in Sharples, as to whether the membership committee in fact admitted the applicants as members of the party under cll 9 and 16 of the Constitution. The jury were not instructed as to this fundamental distinction and as to the use that could be made of that evidence. That in itself is sufficient to set aside the verdict. When all the evidence is considered, the prosecution was unable to negate the inference reasonably open that those on the list given to the Electoral Commissioner were members of the political party, Pauline Hanson's One Nation, and that the statements made by Hanson and Ettridge to the opposite effect were simply misinformation intended to confuse the membership and to entrench the Management Committee's grip on power under the party's Constitution. It follows that the evidence could not support a guilty verdict and a verdict of acquittal should be substituted.
 The appellants were convicted and sentenced on 20 August this year. It is common knowledge that convictions and sentences are subject to a lawful appeal process. The appellant Hanson appealed against her conviction on 26 August 2003 and applied for leave to appeal against her sentence on 27 August 2003; the appellant Ettridge filed his notice of appeal against conviction and his application for leave to appeal against sentence on 1 September 2003. The appellants' conviction and sentence attracted a deal of media attention and public interest. Senior members of the legislature, many of whom were trained lawyers, were reported in the media as making inappropriate comments about this case.
 As far as I have been able to ascertain, there has been no retraction of any of these comments. If these observations were accurately reported, they are concerning. They demonstrate, at the least, a lack of understanding of the Rule of Law, the principle that every person and organisation is subject to the same laws and punishment and not to the arbitrary wishes of individuals or the passing whim of the day. Such statement from legislators could reasonably be seen as an attempt to influence the judicial appellate process and to interfere with the independence of the judiciary for cynical political motives.
 A failure by legislators to act with similar restraint in the future, whether out of carelessness or for cynical short-term political gain, will only undermine confidence in the judiciary and consequentially the democratic government of this State and nation.
 I agree with the reasons and orders proposed by the Chief Justice.
 DAVIES JA: I agree with the reasons for judgment of the Chief Justice and with the orders he proposes.

Liquid alternatives in the first half of 2022: outperforming equities, bonds and hedge funds at the midpoint of the year
Effective loss limitation is the key to positive returns
Frankfurt, August 11th, 2022: Amid one of the biggest market crises since 2000, Liquid Alternatives (UCITS-compliant hedge fund strategies) delivered on their promise and demonstrated their diversification benefits compared to other asset classes in the first six months of the year. While these strategies were unable to avoid losses entirely, most were only slightly below zero as the year reached its halfway mark. Strategies with asymmetric risk-return profiles and effective ways of limiting risk generated positive returns.
With an average performance of -1.6%, liquid alternatives left the global equity markets, European bonds and unregulated hedge funds trailing in their wake in the first half of 2022.
Liquid alternatives better in a crisis
The average performance of the individual strategies in this segment ranged from -20.0% (Alt. Equity Leveraged) to +19.1% (Alt. Dedicated Short). Although the latter delivered the biggest returns, it still lags behind all of the other strategies over a three-year period, posting a negative performance during this time. While the majority of long-only strategies suffered losses for the first time in a long time, asymmetric strategies such as Alternative Managed Futures or relative value approaches generated positive returns on average.t langem mehrheitlich Verluste erzielten, erreichten asymmetrische Strategien im Durchschnitt positive Renditen, so etwa Alternative Managed Futures oder Relative-Value-Ansätze.
Funds that generated positive returns in the first half of the year were primarily characterised by their ability to effectively limit losses, with four out of five funds in this group restricting their losses to a maximum of -7.5% ("maximum drawdown") in the first six months of 2022.
"In an environment where equity and bond markets are falling, strategies with asymmetric risk-return profiles that effectively limit losses are at an advantage," said Ralf Lochmüller, Managing Partner and CEO of Lupus alpha. "It is vital, however, that these strategies are designed to ensure that investors can also participate in any recovery in the market after losses have occurred", Lochmüller added.
The total volume of absolute return and liquid alternatives funds approved for distribution in Germany is EUR 256 billion. A net EUR 7.5 billion of capital flowed out of the investment universe by the middle of the year. Investor preferences were heavily influenced by the macro picture, as demonstrated by significant outflows from alternative credit strategies. While these strategies were still recording inflows in the fourth quarter of 2021, considerable uncertainty and mounting fears of a recession mean they lost almost EUR 2.7 billion in capital (-6.9%) in the first six months of the year. As a result, their share of the overall universe has dropped from 15% to just 10%. By contrast, the continual growth in the Multi Strategies category, which allows investors to position themselves more broadly on the capital markets, has been remarkable. As of 30 June, this strategy was managing almost ten percent more investor capital than it was 12 months earlier, making it the second-largest individual strategy in this segment behind Absolute Return.
This development confirms the trend away from absolute return towards liquid alternative strategies on the investor side. The share of liquid alternative strategies has grown in both absolute and relative terms every year since 2019 and has now reached around 65%, having comprised just one-third of the market ten years ago. This shift in investor preferences can be explained by the fact that alternative strategies are more diverse, allowing investors to take a differentiated approach to their portfolio to create a risk-return profile based on investor-specific requirements.
The downloadable white paper contains further detailed information, including a breakdown of the performance of individual strategies.

Please help me I am new in React Native.

A: You have an array_map here:
{state.routes.map((route, _index) => {

from which you are returning a jsx like:
return (
<>

change it to:
return (
    <React.Fragment key={_index}>

or
return (
    <View key={_index}>

and this warning will gone.

Q: Melt multiple boolean columns in a single column in pandas I have a pandas dataframe like this
  Windows Linux Mac
0 True    False False
1 False   True  False
2 False   False True

I want to combine these three columns in a single column like this
  OS
0 Windows
1 Linux
2 Mac

I know that I can write a simple function like this
def aggregate_os(row):
   if row['Windows'] == True:
      return 'Windows'
   if row['Linux'] == True:
      return 'Linux'
   if row['Mac'] == True:
      return 'Mac'

which I can call like this
df['OS'] = df.apply(aggregate_os, axis=1)

The problem is that my dataset is huge and this solution is too slow. Is there a more efficient way of doing this aggregation?

A: idxmax
df.idxmax(1).to_frame('OS')

        OS
0  Windows
1    Linux
2      Mac

np.select
pd.DataFrame(
    {'OS': np.select([*map(df.get, df)], [*df])},
    df.index
)

        OS
0  Windows
1    Linux
2      Mac

dot
df.dot(df.columns).to_frame('OS')

        OS
0  Windows
1    Linux
2      Mac

np.where
Assuming only one True per row
pd.DataFrame(
   {'OS': df.columns[np.where(df)[1]]},
    df.index
)

        OS
0  Windows
1    Linux
2      Mac

A: Using boolean indexing with stack and rename
df_new = df.stack()
df_new[df_new].reset_index(level=1).rename(columns={'level_1':'OS'}).drop(columns=0)

Output
        OS
0  Windows
1    Linux
2      Mac


The aim is to establish an e-mailing group so that messages may be communicated efficiently to all members. ln this way, it is hoped that information interchange and discussion may be possible, but without the costly and time consuming elements of frequent meetings. Real (as opposed to virtual) meetings can be set up as needed. Members who do not have access to an E-mail system should not feel that they will not be able to be part of the group. As with all Working Groups, to be effective all members of the group should be prepared to make an input, which should not be left to the coordinator, whose additional responsibility it is to report to the General Assembly every two years. Anyone who is interested in participating in this Working Group is urged to contact Georg Kopanakis. Please let him know what your particular interest is, and how you think you might contribute to the group.

Heartbreak for Francesca Jones at Viking Open, but youngster insists 'I will be persistent'
Francesca Jones is not prepared to give up searching for ways to help her overcome the extraordinary challenges she faces after her Viking Open hopes in Nottingham ended in heartbreak.
The 20-year-old suffers from a congenital condition which means she has three fingers and a thumb on each hand, three toes on one foot and four toes on the other.
That has not stopped her from making good progress in the professional game, as she made her Grand Slam debut at this year's Australian Open, but the side effects of her syndrome can be a problem.
All about the finer details 🌱🖌#VikingOpen pic.twitter.com/lTec6g6cSW
Jones was on course for the second round in Nottingham as she led Georgina Garcia Perez 3-1 in the deciding set of their first-round match.
But a medical timeout for the Spaniard resulted in Jones suffering from full body cramps and she could not recover as Garcia Perez claimed a 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 win.
It has happened before and Jones, who could be handed a Wimbledon wild card next week, is determined to get to the bottom of the problem.
"This is something that my team have been working on to get to the bottom of it," she said. "You have to appreciate I load my feet in a different way, I hold the racket in a different way.
Jones suffered from cramp at the end of her match (Zac Goodwin/PA)
"I am not going to say this is new for me, it's not. It is very inconvenient that it has happened today and very hurtful and upsetting it happened when I was cruising in that third set.
"I was feeling comfortable. It is not new and we are trying to get to the bottom of it.
"I can't leave any stone unturned, I have to keep getting to the bottom of things that come up with me and keep trying to find a way to overcome them.
"I know what position I am in, I know it might take me a little bit longer than others to get to where I know I can be because of the challenges I face but I have got to be patient and try and be objective and keep going.
"That is difficult right now but I will be persistent."

Q: Assigning variables with values inside a loop - Express.js this may seem ridiculous, but i cannot use arrays here.
let var1 = null;
let var2 = null;
let var3 = null;
let var4 = null;

I want to assign some value into these variables by using a loop using express.js
for(let i=0; i<3; i++)
{
 var`${[i]}` = 'Some Value';
}

This did work for react, but its not working for server side. express.js

A:
this may seem ridiculous

The ridiculous situation seems to require yet another ridiculous solution of having to utilize a global object.
PS C:\misc\sources> node
> [1,2,3,4].forEach(id => global['var' + id] = null)
undefined
> var1
null
> var2
null
> var3
null
> var4
null
> var5
ReferenceError: var5 is not defined

On client-side, you can utilize window instead.

[1,2,3,4].forEach(id => window['var' + id] = null)
console.log(var1);
console.log(var2);
console.log(var3);
console.log(var4);
console.log(var5);

A:

you could try this

let obj = {
    var1: null,
    var2: null,
    var3: null,
   }

Object.keys(obj).forEach((item) => {
  item = "SOme value"
})
