About Andalucia
The lifestyle in Andalucia is second to none. © Michelle Chaplow
Josephine Quintero reports
When tourists arrive on the Costa del Sol for their summer holidays or mid-winter break they soon discover that some of their fellow countrymen are so enamoured with the place that they stayed behind when their group went home or organised a move, lock, stock and barrel, or made elaborate plans to retire here when the time came. Immediately the visitors start wondering, "what is life like for foreigners who settle on the Costa del Sol?" The answer is they love every minute of it and wouldn't dream of going home or moving elsewhere after experiencing the lifestyle.
Any initial hiccups are soon smoothed away by the charm of the local people, the Andalusians. Newcomers find plenty of neighbours, whether Spanish or foreign, who speak their language and help them settle in. While foreign residents who do learn to speak Spanish inevitably get more out of their life on the coast as they can communicate with more people and take part in a wider range of activities, it is by no means a necessity. Thousands live very full lives on the coast with only a smattering of the language, while many town halls have set up special offices with staff who speak their language to help them with bureaucracy.
While the language is usually the first question that people ask about, the second is generally the food. Those foreign residents who seek items from their home countries, which years ago were unheard of in Spain, will be surprised to find that almost everything (at least from EU countries) is available here and they need lack nothing. And in addition, there is all that wonderfully healthy Mediterranean food, fish, fruit and vegetables.
And what about the lifestyle? What do foreign residents do with their time if they do not work? This is where the Costa del Sol really comes into its own as it caters for absolutely every type of lifestyle and taste.
First of all, for those who work it provides a very pleasant atmosphere to work in as the Andalusians, always full of vitality and with a ready quip, make extremely congenial colleagues. Foreign residents who have children find that they can choose between sending them to a Spanish school or one in which the system and the language are the same as at home.
And for those who do not work - the majority of foreign residents, far from being in their dotage, are people who have taken early retirement - there are facilities here whatever their hobby or inclinations may be. Those who want a quiet life, live in a rural environment in the startlingly beautiful hinterland or one of the glistening white villages. Those who prefer a more intense social life and an urban ambience stay right on the coast itself. Many are very active retirees who occupy their time with sports - golf and sailing are particularly well catered for, with a high density of golf courses and exquisitely beautiful marinas. Others are pleased to find that with time on their hands they can devote themselves to helping others.
Charming Andalucian patios
The foreign residents - and the range of nationalities is very wide - have founded many charities on the coast. There are also approximately 90 clubs on the coast, organised principally by foreign residents, although they do include Spaniards among their members. Most of the clubs do not limit membership and newcomers are always welcome.
Other activities which hold special interest for the foreign residents are the musical events. The concerts given by the Malaga Symphony Orchestra, conducted generally by the resident conductor Odon Alonso at the Cervantes Theatre in the city are a favourite as are those by the recently created Andalusian Classical Orchestra under the baton of Octav Calleya in Fuengirola.

I welcome this very useful extension. I have a little problem. When I check a route where a one way segment (especially a highway separated to two one way route) affected, the destination is the other side of the selected segment.
I have a few wierd routings, although on the livemap it works correct.
Could be possible see the editions and the new instructions at real time?
Now is really useful, but if you no have to wait for NA and INTL server updates would be better.

Wow, this is great. Please also show distance and time of route (in KM and miles). And add selectable time of day (like on livemap). Thanks.
Could you add the Israeli server as well?
Also, could you make the route lines clickable, so they act as links to the correct junction?

MediaCounting down the top 5 Australian television broadcasts and...
By Charlie Tazewell
Throughout the last 20 years, various Australian programs have broken broadcasting records, in terms of audience numbers and composition. Each year, several programs receive huge national audiences, including the AFL Grand Final, the NRL Grand Final and State of Origin (in the NRL). Huge sporting fixtures always generate huge audiences, especially finals' matches in the Australian Open.
#1 2005 Australian Open – Men's Singles Final
In 2005, Lleyton Hewitt made a charge to the final of the Men's Singles at the Australian Open. It was the last time an Australian male tennis player made the final of a Grand Slam Tournament. Over 4.04 million Aussie viewers tuned in to watch the game, filled with the hope that Hewitt would become the first Australian man to win the men's tournament since 1970. Unfortunately, Hewitt lost in four sets.
#2 MasterChef Australia (season 2) finale
In the early 2010s, MasterChef was a colossal rating success. Close to 4.03 million viewers tuned in to Channel Ten to watch the finale of the second season. Adam Liaw was named the winner.
#3 Rugby World Cup Final 2003
This is an absolute heartbreaker for Wallaby fans. Around 4.016 million viewers across the nation watched as Jonny Wilkinson kicked a penalty goal at the death in extra time to put England ahead 20-17 with mere seconds remaining.
Over 3.7 million people watched as Julie Goodwin was crowned champion on the first season of MasterChef Australia. She returned the second season as a guest judge.
#5 2006 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony
Coming in at 5th is the 2006 Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, which took place in Melbourne, Victoria that year. The entire tournament was a massive success, and the opening ceremony was hugely successful for the Nine Network.

SoftBank Group Acquires Major Stake in Uber
By Associated Press | Updated: 29 December 2017 10:26 IST
SoftBank deal values Uber 30 percent lower than previous valuation
SoftBank gets a roughly 15 percent stake in Uber with the deal
Deal also curtails influence of former CEO Travis Kalanick
A group led by Japanese technology conglomerate Softbank has acquired a major stake in Uber, potentially tamping down internal warfare at the troubled ride-hailing company and strengthening the hand of CEO Dara Khosrowshahi as he seeks to move it past the firestorm that has consumed it for the past year.
In a tender offer that expired Thursday afternoon, SoftBank acquired a 15 percent stake in Uber while the remaining members got about 3 percent, according to a person familiar with the situation who was not authorized to publicly discuss details. Under the deal, the SoftBank group will also buy about $1 billion (Rs. 6,400 crores) worth of new Uber stock. SoftBank said it expects to close the overall investment in January.
Uber has been plagued by a growing string of scandals over the past year, including allegations of sexual misconduct and charges that it deployed an espionage team to plunder trade secrets from its rivals. It's also facing off with regulators in London over its right to operate there, dealing with the fallout from a major hack of driver and passenger information that it paid a hefty ransom to conceal, and is battling Google spinoff Waymo in a lawsuit accusing it of trade-secret theft. Uber denies engaging in trade-secret theft.
The SoftBank deal clears the way for Uber, among the most valuable tech firms in the world, to sell stock to the public. Under the deal, a possible initial public offering could take place before the end of 2019. Last month, Benchmark Capital, Menlo Ventures and other early Uber investors had confirmed their intent to sell shares in the company.
It also curtails the influence of former CEO Travis Kalanick, an Uber co-founder, who was pushed out in June but retained control of 3 of Uber's 11 board seats. Benchmark, in fact, sued the former CEO in August, accusing him of trying to pack the board with his allies and plotting to return as CEO.
As part of the SoftBank deal, Kalanick agreed to allow a majority of board members to vote on any future appointments he makes. Benchmark agreed to suspend its lawsuit against Kalanick and to drop it after the end of the tender offer period.
"We have tremendous confidence in Uber's leadership and employees and are excited to support Uber as it continues to reinvent how people and goods are transported around the world," SoftBank CEO Rajeev Misra said in a statement.
Uber said in a statement that the overall transaction would "support our technology investments, fuel our growth, and strengthen our corporate governance."
Uber had been valued at $68.5 billion (roughly Rs. 4,38,000 crores) in a previous stock sale. The Wall Street Journal said the tender offer valued Uber at $48 billion (roughly Rs. 3,07,000 crores), a 30 percent discount.

Ohio dad, Matt Cox, has recently sparked an online parenting debate over the punishment he gave his 10-year-old daughter Kirsten for bullying.
After Kirsten was given a 3-day suspension from the school bus for her second-time offense bullying another child, her father decided to take matters into his own hands by forcing her to make the 5-mile trek to school in 36-degree weather.
Cox continued to explain that so many kids today perceive what their parents do for them — and even what their schools do for them (i.e. bus rides) — as rights rather than privileges. In making Kirsten make the long journey by foot, he attempted to prove to her the opposite.
The 2-minute video was since gone wildly viral, amassing 16 million views and over 345,000 shares this week.
As he anticipated, Cox has received some backlash from other parents who perceive his choice of punishment as out of line.
"Humiliate her by putting her on Facebook being punished. Irony," commented one user.
But a great deal of the 66,000 comments have been positive, and many have applauded his choice to end bullying.
"As the grandparent of an autistic boy who has been the victim of neighborhood bullies, I applaud you! Too many parents do nothing," said one proud grandparent.
"Wish more parents took the time to hold their children accountable for unacceptable behavior," added another Facebook user.
As for Cox, he believes he made the right decision, as the resulting behavior he's seen from Kirsten has been positive. In a Facebook update, he gladly reported that his 10-year-old says she's now learned the importance of being kind and respectful to other kids.
What do you think of Matt Cox's punishment for the sake of stopping bullying? We'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

PROVIDENCE – Former state senator and businessman James E. Doyle II, 47, of Pawtucket, was sentenced Friday to two years in federal prison for a check-kiting scheme in which prosecutors said he passed $74 million in worthless checks.
He also failed to report more than $1 million in income to the IRS, according to federal authorities.
In addition to the prison time, U.S. District Court Chief Judge William E. Smith sentenced Doyle to three years supervised release and ordered him to pay restitution totaling $426,707.25 to Santander Bank and Alliance Blackstone Valley Federal Credit Union.
Doyle pleaded guilty in September 2018 to 31 counts of bank fraud and one count each of filing a false tax return and failing to file a tax return.
At the time, he admitted that as owner of Doyle Respiratory LLC and Doyle Sleep Solutions LLC, he made $74 million worth of bogus transactions through accounts at three banks.
Doyle, son of the late Pawtucket Mayor James Doyle, also admitted that between 2013 and 2016 he and his wife failed to report to the IRS more than $1 million in income and didn't pay $305,426 in federal taxes.
Doyle would write checks from accounts with insufficient funds, depositing those checks into different accounts to cover daily overdrafts. At the same time, he would write checks from those other accounts and deposit those checks into the first account.
This apparently created the appearance that all the accounts had sufficient funds, deceiving banks into honoring the checks.
Prosecutors said Doyle performed the check-writing scheme daily, sometimes making more than 50 transactions a day. He also used ATMs to lengthen the time it took the checks to clear. Tens of thousands of worthless checks were written before Doyle was arrested, prosecutors said.
"An incarcerative sentence of 24 months is most appropriate considering the damage Mr. Doyle's actions, in defrauding three banks of almost half a million dollars, [have] done to erode the people's trust in their public officials," Weisman said in a statement.

Venezuela bans Coca-Cola Zero
The Venezuelan Government has enforced a ban on Coca-Cola Zero products due to unspecified health concerns.
The Coca-Cola Company maintains the drink is safe but has complied with the Government's request to halt production just two months after it first went on sale in the South American country.
Coca-Cola remains in discussions with Venezuela over the prospect of overturning the ban and said they were not informed of any specific concerns the Government may have with the drink or the American company.
The Venezuelan Government has not outlined any specific reasons for the ban with Health Minister Jesus Mantilla simply advising that the decision was made to "preserve the health of Venezuelans." Some analysts have suggested the move could be one of defiance against capitalism by a nation whose leader (Hugo Chavez) is a vocal critic of globalisation.

[ Transactional ] as a Related Elective for those interested in Foreign Legal Systems : An IP practice today has a significant international component. Many business clients have non-U.S. customers, suppliers and distributors, and practitioners need to protect and enforce their clients' IP rights in foreign markets. Understanding European Union law is particularly important, as the EU is the most significant bilateral trade partner of the U.S.
The U.S. and the European Union (which comprises 27 European states and 500 million people) have the largest bilateral trade relationship in the world. About 60% of the world's GDP is generated on the Transatlantic Marketplace. In recent years, this has tremendously heightened the need for a sound understanding of the legal system of the EU, especially for business and technology lawyers. Responding to this need, this course, first, examines the internationally unique legal system of the EU as such, as it is applicable to any field of substantive and procedural EU law. Thus, it looks at the legal nature and the different sources of EU law and its relationship with the national law of the EU Member States. The course covers the relevant EU law enforcement actions including state liability issues as well as the jurisdiction of both European Courts and relevant remedies in national courts. Secondly, it explores the legal framework of doing business in the EU, from the perspective of a business entity as an internationally operating actor in a European business environment. In this context, the class focuses on the most essential fields of EU business law, i.e.,(a) the four fundamental economic freedoms of the European Single Market for goods, services, capital and persons, (b) EU competition/antitrust law, as well as (c) EU e-commerce law. There is special emphasis on how EU business law can be used efficiently from private actors such as companies established outside the EU for their own advantage.

The most popular tourist attractions of Norfolk County (pop. 63, 175) are the ports, towns and villages along Lake Erie, known as Ontario's South Coast. These towns include Port Dover, Turkey Point and Long Point. Fishing is another key attraction for tourists, as well as birding, hiking, camping and cycling. Agri-tourism is another expanding attraction for tourists coming to Norfolk County, with wineries and microbreweries, and farm-related events. Port Dover is the jewel of Ontario's South Coast. Originally known as Dover Mills, Port Dover is named for a southern sea port in England, located on the River Dover. During the War of 1812, invading American forces burned Dover Mills, as were many mills throughout Ontario. The name Long Point is the descriptive name given to the ever-shifting sand spit jutting out into Lake Erie. While the tip of Long Point (as well as most of the wilderness east of Long Point Provincial Park) is accessible, the resort community of cottages closer to the causeway has been a tourist destination for generations. Simcoe is the main market town of Norfolk County, Simcoe has a bustling downtown retail core and numerous shopping opportunities. Simcoe also has a beautiful park system and fairground which plays host to festivals throughout the year.

Accounting software nightmare a cautionary tale for business
When John White selected the 2Clix accounting software package for his Melbourne flooring business, the risk that he could lose access to his financial data was the last thing on his mind.
Uni-Flooring Resources was growing and White, the business's co-founder and executive officer, was focused on the benefits the new software would bring.
Shortly after buying a licence to use the software, problems emerged. White was not happy with 2Clix – it would later emerge many others were similarly unimpressed – and after a year of wrangling with the company and many thousands of dollars spent, decided he would drop it altogether.
But there was a problem. According to White, 2Clix refused to allow departing customers to take their information with them and continued to charge them for access.
"We were locked out of our data, and everyone was just about blackmailed into having to pay fees just to access their own financial information," White says.
2Clix Australia is no longer trading, having moved into voluntary administration, although other companies associated with its directors remain registered and the company that reportedly purchased the software from 2Clix, Platinum One Business Solutions, still sells accounting software.
White has become the informal leader of a group of more than 80 companies that experienced problems with the 2Clix software, some of whom are still battling for access to their financial data.
But while the 2Clix scars remain very raw for its former users, White has some advice for the broader business community; don't give up the right to access your crucial financial information.
"Think carefully about access to your data and make sure it is dealt with explicitly in the agreement with the software company," White says. "When we started with 2Clix we weren't thinking about getting our data back, and it cost us down the track."
White's advice is backed by John Ireland, the president of business software consultant's association the Consulting Alliance.
"Most businesses spend more time picking the company car for the boss than they do on the software package that the business runs on," Ireland says. "Always look at the detail of the agreement and make sure data access is dealt with so you can't be held to ransom."
According to Ireland, while most software providers give customers free access to their data even if they end their licence or contract to use the product, there are some out there that don't.
"2Clix has been the trigger for these issues to come to light. There are other companies out there that hold customers to ransom; often they are net based with servers overseas, they have very onerous exit clauses and will only give you limited, costly access down the track."
As well as looking at the contract fine print, Ireland advises owners to talk to others in the business community about the software they use and ask for client references before committing to a software package.
And it is not just accounting software that raises the issue of data access – the use of online "software as a service" products is becoming increasingly common across a range of business functions.
Dilanchian Lawyers managing partner Noric Dilanchian says businesses are entering increasing numbers of agreements and contracts connected with the web and electronic information.
While businesses will carefully read and file a contract for the supply of a good, they often don't apply the same practice in the online context.
"There are literally thousands of types of contracts, and very few of them are standard. So whether it's a social media site you use for blogging or online software where your data is being stored, you have to do what you would do in any other business deal – check whether the contract terms are acceptable to you," Dilanchian says.

As little as fifteen years ago, Homoeopathy was relatively unknown in Japan and the "Far East". In the past ten years, this situation has changed dramatically in Japan. In 2010, there are more than 500 professional homoeopaths working from an estimated 250 clinics throughout the country. It is believed that more than 100,000 Japanese currently use homoeopathic medicines.
This surge in growth was referred to as "The Miracle in Japanese Homoeopathy" at the Inaugural Meeting of the International Council for Homoeopathy (ICH), an organisation founded to facilitate the training of homoeopaths and to spread awareness of the self-medicating possibilities for those suffering from both physical and mental afflictions. This miracle would not have been possible without Torako Yui's input and energy. After completing her post-graduate studies, in 1994, she became the first registered homoeopath with the Homoeopathic Medical Association (HMA). Since then she has devoted her life to introducing homoeopathy across the world.
"When I was thirty-three years old, I suffered from ulcerative colitis and for the next three years I had melena, as the blood from the intestinal wall mixed with my stools. When the condition was at it worst, I would often feel the urge to defecate – sometimes up to fifteen times a day, which meant that leaving the house or the office was fraught with difficulty. Of course, as this was due to ulcers, I had terrible colic too.
For the first two years, I was given a variety of treatments, including steroids, but these were only temporary palliatives; as soon as I felt stress or under pressure, the ulcers spread and started to bleed. My lifestyle was in fact the reason why the ulcerative colitis was so intractable; I would often ignore the tiredness of my body and work straight through the night.
It was in the second year of treatment for this illness that I encountered homoeopathy. I had begun to get very depressed and negative about my life. It felt so unfair, as though I had been specially singled out to suffer such distressing symptoms. With hindsight, it is obvious that I could not heal myself in such a poor mental condition. My condition deteriorated and I was prescribed tranquilizers, diuretics, iron pills, and antibiotics without any success. I was finally told that I would have to have an operation to cut out the affected part of the bowel and have a colostomy.
That very night, I had a dream about a treatment. I am now sure that my dream told me to seek homoeopathic treatment. When I awoke, however, all I could recall of the dream was the phrase: "treat like with like, a treatment requires a similar." I rang a British colleague and recited this phrase. She told me that I must be thinking of homoeopathy and it all came back to me – it was indeed homoeopathic treatments I had dreamt of. Now, I am not normally the sort of person who believed that dreams contained omens but you will remember that I was desperately distressed at the time.
My first visit to a homoeopath was very strange, some questions often seemed irrelevant while others could have come from the mouth of a psychologist; they were so able to make me feel naked and exposed. I was asked about my habits, my character, and the way I thought things through. I was also asked about how I was affected by the sun, the moon, and various types of weather. I was questioned about my eating preferences, my fears, if I had regular dreams, and about my ability to deal with my emotions. Some questions were truly bewildering; I was asked my birth weight, if I had been breast-fed, and a series of questions about my family's medical history. I felt I knew very little about myself and even less about my family; such things were not discussed by my parents.
Throughout this session, I was waiting for the homoeopath to ask me about my condition and I tried to bring up my condition, as I wanted to talk about it, but the homoeopath did not seem to regard it as important. In the one hour long consultation, we spoke about my ailment for as little as five minutes. As the consultation finished, he handed me four sugar pilules, each with a different name. I began to feel cheated; the homoeopath had no stethoscope, no white coat, no interest in my condition, but just four tiny sugar pills. I wondered why I had put any faith in my dream.
When I arrived home, I decided that I would take the pilules anyway. To throw them away would have been a waste of money and taking one such small pill once a day would be unlikely to do me harm. On the fifth day, I felt so weak that I could not get out of bed; I was feverish and my joints ached. Having dragged myself to the toilet, I returned to bed doubled up in agony, the pain was terrible. I phoned the homoeopath and begged for help: "Please help, I cannot stand up and all my joints feel inflamed." His reply was curt: "That's good news. Go back to bed and try to relax and sleep." Then he hung up on me. I could not believe it; how could this be good? The man was obviously a charlatan, a quack, and a snake-oil salesman. How could I have been so stupid to have been taken in? Yet, as the pain increased, I noticed that I did not have diarrhea. The pain reminded me of a severe case of influenza I had had when I was twenty-six. I had kept on with my course of antibiotics but they did not provide me with any relief. I was still feverish and doubled up in pain. Three days after I taken the last pilule, the pain eased and I began to feel lightheaded. The diarrhea had returned, however it was no longer a pinkish tone but dark red. As I had been unable to eat the previous days, I realised that I must be discharging the residues of blood from my bowel.
I noticed a week or so later that I was becoming quite angry. These waves of anger became more frequent and I often had the urge to break things. It felt as though I had been betrayed and let down by society; all the efforts I had made in the workplace amounted to nothing. I would never be able to achieve fame and fortune in this male-dominated society, where anyone outside of the accepted norms is systematically ostracized. I was unhealthy because I worked so hard to earn the praise of my boss but I ignored my body. I was letting myself be evaluated by the judgments of others and I was making myself ill. I realised that there was still a child inside me seeking approval from the boss, just as I had previously sought praise from my emotionally distant mother. Seeking praise had left me feeling worthless and desperate.
Trapped in such an emotionally sensitive state, I found myself veering between rage and tears. As my anger left me, I felt sad; sad that life could be so harsh. This might sound a little childish but it struck me that I was still carrying the pain from childhood traumas and it was this inner child who was weeping in frustration. Curiously, I did not immediately notice the physical changes happening at this time; my stools, though soft, were no longer bloody.
One day, looking through my tears and contemplating the sadness of my childhood, I saw the first spring blooms in the garden: crocus, Victoria plum, and water lilies. Walking out into the chilly air, it occurred to me that these beautiful blooms lived their whole lives without being able to voice a complaint, or walk away from a problem. I realised that despite my complaints about the lack of respect from my work, the lack of money in my life, and so on, I still had more freedom than these plants (and indeed most of the natural world). The inner child inside was controlling me – as a child would, without fully-formed experiences. I realised that if I perceived an issue as distressing, I could easily allow myself to become distressed, so if I looked on a problem as being a challenge, I should be able to rise to that challenge. I began to appreciate that the way I controlled my mind would affect my overall health; I could not let the inner child run my life and I could no longer find peace if I kept focusing on the world of profit and materialism. I believe that my disease taught me these lessons.
The ulcerative colitis was completely cured within a month. As I explained this to the homoeopath, at my second consultation, I noticed that he was smiling happily, as if he knew this would happen. My whole character had changed. Whereas I used to be quite strict and a bit of a perfectionist, I was now quite sloppy. I did what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. I became lazy about doing the housework and my house always looked like it had just been burgled. All I wanted to do was to work in the garden and the longer I spent there, the happier I became – just like a happy child without a care in the world. As I eased back into a life of contentment, I realised that I wished to pass on this knowledge and study homoeopathy.
The excitement at starting my homoeopathic studies was soon tempered by the difficulty I had with many of the texts on the course. The books were often over a hundred years old and filled with Greek, Latin, and Old English words; it truly was all Greek to me as a Japanese and I noticed many of the British people felt the same way. I asked for special support, as I was crying again after classes, but it was not forthcoming. Perhaps they did not know how to help me.
Despite the tears and the frustration at not being able to master these texts, I could not abandon my desire to learn homoeopathy and to introduce this brilliant practice to Japan. I decided to make a clean break and try starting my studies at a different college, where they indicated that they were more able to support foreign students. Indeed, when I had an interview with the Principal Robert Davidson, he said something that I found very odd: "Welcome, we have been expecting you. We thought you might be an experienced medical practitioner but here you are, a young woman... This does not matter. Homoeopathy is definitely needed in the Far East, so you must take your studies seriously and bring homoeopathy to Japan!" Robert and the college staff were all generous in their support, as was my friend and private tutor, the homoeopath Meg Portal. When I completed the three year course, I was lucky enough to enter a post-graduate course run by Dr. William Nelson, who had worked on the Apollo space project. Dr. Nelson taught anatomy, physiology, pathology, and homoeopathic energising treatments. It was after I graduated from this course that I went on to the Homoeopathic Medical Association and became a registered homoeopath.
Throughout my homeopathic career I have always reviewed my practice, as I often feel that clients help me heal as much as I help them. Homoeopathy did not just cure my disease, it also led me to a wonderfully fulfilling profession. I am sincere in my appreciation of homoeopathy and I still believe that, as Robert said, it was my vocation to bring homoeopathy to Japan!"
Is Indian degree valid for practice in Japan?
I am a homoeopth having taken my BHMS degree from a Mahatma Gandhi University in India. Currently I am doing private practice. Is this degree valid for taking up private practice in Japan?
Hello I have been working on interelating homeopathic medicines and the meridian system that is classically described in oriental medicine. I have found that the aggravation times of various remedies corresponds to the organ systems that are most weakened,that the emotional qualities of the remedies follow a distinct pattern. the meridians are gateways of blocked energy in the body and limiting conciousness. I would like to share this work with you. the kalis have a prediliction for the liver and can be used t strenghten it.
i would like to practising homoeopathy in Japan.
pl. let me know hat should i do.
....indeed very inspiring story of Torako Yui,carrying the true spirit of homoeopathy.

^After=(.*?)?(?:netfilter-persistent\.service)?(.*?)?$

This one comes close but then netfilter-persistent.service is still in Group 1:
^After=(.*?(?:netfilter-persistent\.service))?(.*?)?$

A: You may make the first group non-capturing in your last pattern and wrap the .*? with a capturing group use
^After=(?:(.*?)netfilter-persistent\.service)?(.*)$
