DURHAM — Oyster River School Board members are scheduled tonight to discuss plans to fill the pending high school principal vacancy after denying a nomination earlier this month.
For two months, 15 members of the high school principal search committee sifted through 44 applications and by early April, had narrowed the field down to two final candidates, Justin Campbell and Robert Thompson.
Superintendent Howard Colter had nominated Campbell, but a 4-3 vote against the nomination left the district without a plan on how to fill the vacancy that current principal Laura Rogers will leave at the end of the year. Members James Kach, Megan Turnbull, Ann Lane and Jocelyn O'Quinn were in the majority during the vote.
"I anticipate the major topic of the evening will be about the failed nomination of Justin Campbell," Colter said.
An e-mail dated April 20 from Board Chair Henry Brackett and Vice Chair Ann Wright said the board would ensure a principal would be in place for the 2011/2012 school year.
Also on the meeting's agenda is a proposal for a retirement incentive for staff who have been with the district for 10 or more years, which Colter said should save the district money.
The district would offer a one-time payment of $20,000 for 20 or more years of service in the Oyster River School District, or $15,000 for those who have served 10 to 19 years. A set amount would be placed in a fund and it would be a first-come, first-serve offering.
Colter said by hiring less expensive staff to replace retired staff, the district would still save money.
The School Board meets tonight at 7 p.m. in the auditorium, non-public is at 6:30 p.m..

Stocks sell off on missile tests, rate concerns
By Leslie Wines
Published: July 5, 2006 4:32 p.m. ET
Worry about North Korean launches hurts stock prices worldwide
LeslieWines
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks closed with heavy losses Wednesday, after global exchanges were unnerved by North Korean missile tests and the domestic market undermined by fears that strong data will force the Federal Reserve to lift interest rates further.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.03% ended down 76.20 points at 11,151.82.
The S&P 500 SPX, +0.03% closed 9.28 points at 1,270.91 and the Nasdaq Composite $COMPX down 37.09 points, or 1.7%, at 2,153.34 amid broad-based selling of technology stocks.
Volume was somewhat light as some investors and traders remained on vacation.
About 1.509 billion shares were traded on the New York Stock Exchange, with 24 declining stocks for every nine gainers. More than 1.597 billion stocks moved in the Nasdaq Stock Market, with 20 falling stocks for nine ones trending higher.
Steve Goldman, chief market strategist at Weeden & Co, said fairly heavy damage was done to the market on Wednesday and stocks are likely to remain under pressure until Friday's monthly employment report. "The market saw a pretty sharp, broad-based decline," he said.
Wall Street returned from the Fourth of July holiday to scrutinize news about North Korea, which carried out at least seven missile tests, according to news reports.
The latest missile landed in the sea east of the Korean Peninsula, according to South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff. Japan's Kyodo news agency reported that the missile was in the air for six minutes.
One of the weapons launched was a Taepodong-2 long-range ballistic missile that's thought capable of delivering a warhead as far as Alaska or Hawaii. See full story.
The launches came after months of talks on North Korea's nuclear program yielded little progress. In recent months Washington has been more focused on the nuclear situation in Iran. As recently as late 2005, North Korea agreed to surrender any nuclear weapons and halt the nuclear research.
Stock exchanges in Tokyo and Seoul overnight managed to close off their worst levels, while European exchanges beat sharp retreats.
"Investors have decided to step back, at least for the time being, to see how this is going to resolve itself," said Hugh Johnson, chairman of Johnson Illington Advisors. Listen to radio report.
Peter Cardillo, chief market analyst at S.W. Bach, said North Korea's nuclear ambitions were well known to the market before this week, "There is nothing new here," Cardillo said. "We are not looking at a market that will be falling off a cliff. We're just seeing some weakness around the globe."
The market also was pressured by the ADP national employment index, which showed that private-sector jobs increased by 368,000 last month, the largest increase since the ADP index was created five years ago. Read full survey.
Rising employment indicates economic strength, and possibly an uptick in inflation, conditions that could pressure the Federal Reserve to keep lifting interest rates. Last week, the market rallied after a policy statement from the Fed gave cause for hope that the central bank's tightening cycle is near an end.
The ADP survey news comes in advance of Labor Department's June unemployment report Friday.
The picture of U.S. economic strength was reinforced by news from the Commerce Department that factory orders rose 0.7% in May. See full story. The Fed has made it clear that future rate moves will be linked to data strength.
The rise was larger than expected. Economists had been looking for a gain of 0.1% in factory orders in May, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch. See Economic Calendar.
Gold was the outstanding beneficiary of the North Korean dispute. Safe-haven interest drove the August futures contract to its highest in a month early Wednesday. The front-month contract closed up $13.70 at a one-month high of $629.70 an ounce. See full story.
Oil futures also moved higher, pushing through the key $75 a barrel level, after Iran pushed back a meeting about its nuclear activities with EU representatives. The August crude contract closed up $1.26 at $75.19 a barrel, marking the highest close ever for a front-month contract.
Treasury prices ended under pressure, driving up yields, as investors booked profits on gains seen on Monday. Traders also noted concerns about an approaching Bank of Japan meeting.
After the data reports, the yield on the benchmark 10-year note yield ventured nearer to the current federal-funds target of 5.25%, indicating market players think that interest-rate increases will have to continue. The 10-year note finished 19/32 lower at 99 7/32 with a yield $TNX of 5.228%, up from 5.15% in late trade Monday.
In currencies, the dollar was lifted by the perception that U.S. rate hikes may continue. The dollar last was 0.5% higher at 115.70 yen, as the euro fell 0.4% to $1.2728.
Stocks on the move
Shares of AT&T Inc. T, +1.35% gave up gains to close 3 cents lower at $27.90. Banc of America upgraded the stock to a buy rating, predicting stronger earnings estimates at the completion of its merger with BellSouth. Analyst David Barden also said the blue-chip stock's one of the least expensive in the telecommunications sector.
General Motors Corp. GM, -0.23%, also a Dow component, managed a minor 1-cent gain to close at $29.42. Rick Wagoner, the auto maker's chairman and chief executive, and Carlos Ghosn, the chief executive of Nissan Motor and Renault, are set to meet in Detroit later this month, according to a media report. See full story.
The Financial Times reported that Ghosn told GM investor Kirk Kerkorian two weeks ago that Renault (013190) and Nissan NSANY, -0.70% could buy 20% of GM between them, injecting cash but falling short of a full merger.
Calyon Securities upgraded its rating on GM, also part of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, to buy.
Among other Dow components, heavy losses were registered by Caterpillar Inc. CAT, -2.21%, which fell 2.2%, American Express Inc. AXP, +0.74%, off 1.9%, and Intel Corp. INTC, +3.60%, off 3% at $18.76.
Outside the Dow, Trump Entertainment TRMP dropped 4.2% to $19.38. The gambling halls of Atlantic City went dark early Wednesday as New Jersey's budget stalemate shut down the government and kept regulators off the casino floors.
Shares of Duquesne Light Holdings DQE rallied 17.9% to $19.39. after the company agreed to be taken private at a price of $20 each in cash. See full story.

Mark Newton's New Series Announced - Fantasy Crime
While I rarely propagate deal announcements since there are enough sff sites that like doing it, here at FBC we are big fans of Mark Newton and I am very happy that his writing career is continuing to progress well.
I quite like his writing style and his imagination is among the best in the genre today, so his first three Legends of the Red Sun novels have all been "read on receive the early version, reread on receive the next version, up to the final one", while of course at any subsequent installment I would go back and reread at least partly the earlier ones too.
Not surprisingly they have also been in my top 25 of 2009 - Nights of Villjamur - , top 25 of 2010 - City of Ruin - and top 25 of 2011, The Book of Transformations.
So while the closure of the Legends of the Red Sun is a highly anticipated release for the summer of 2012 - as of now I still have no idea of the title, cover or the precise date - and from the author's posts on his popular website linked above I had an inkling that something like this will be his next project, I am really happy to see it official and of course those books are asap's for me whenever they will come out!
Here are the official details, while more details are on the author's site HERE:
"PRESS RELEASE – NEW DEAL FOR MARK CHARAN NEWTON
Bella Pagan, Senior Commissioning Editor at Tor UK, an imprint of Pan Macmillan, has acquired world rights to the first two volumes of a fantasy series by Mark Charan Newton. The agent was John Jarrold.
The first book in a series provisionally titled DRAKENFELD introduces the eponymous hero, an investigator. The series is set in a fantasy world, but will appeal to fans of historical mysteries. In this opening volume, Lucan Drakenfeld is called home after the death of his father – but is immediately thrown into the investigation of a royal death. He also finds that his father's demise is not as clear-cut as it at first appears…
Pagan said 'Mark writes compulsive adventures set in utterly convincing new worlds – he's a terrific writer. I couldn't ask for a better start to my new position at Tor UK than this first deal'.
Tor UK have successfully published three fantasy novels by Mark in the Legends of the Red Sun series since 2009, with a fourth to appear in the summer of 2012. They have been strongly acclaimed by China Miéville, Peter F Hamilton and reviewers on both sides of the Atlantic.
The first book in the new series will be published in 2014."

Watch Blue Ivy tell Beyonce and Jay-Z to stop clapping at the Grammys
Kathy Campbell
Jan 29th 2018 9:21AM
A little decorum, please! Blue Ivy Carter star front-row at the 2018 Grammys and at one point during the show told her parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, to stop clapping on Sunday, January 28.
The couple's eldest child is only 6 but she appeared to be calling the shots, telling her mom and dad to put down their hands as they applauded Camila Cabello's moving speech.
I have no idea what Blue Ivy is doing but I'm here for it. #Grammyspic.twitter.com/Wxeb1IWWju
— Emily Jokinen (@EmJJokinen) January 29, 2018
As the pair clapped, Blue — who was dressed in an eye-catching white suit and silver shoes — could be seen putting up her hand and slowly and solemnly gesturing towards each of them to stop what they were doing.
"I have no idea what Blue Ivy is doing but I'm here for it," wrote one commenter who shared the iconic moment.

"Blue Ivy really just hushed her parents, I'm done," another tweeted.
"Blue Ivy is the only person who can tell Beyonce and Jay-Z to calm down. A LEGEND," one fan noted.
"Blue Ivy is my favorite TV talent show judge," suggested another, silently reminding us of Cabello's beginnings as an X Factor contestant. (Move over, Simon Cowell.)
"WHAT WAS THAT SIGN BLUE IVY WAS JUST SENDING US," asked another. "She was telling her parents we don't clap we're royalty," responded another person.
"Blue Ivy Carter is here to let you know that she's underwhelmed," tweeted another. "A baby Legend!"
"Dirt can't afford to touch Blue Ivy," noted another, while someone else tried to make BLUE IVY 2020 happen.

Recurring Shark
Shark Biography
Emmy-nominated producer Kevin Hart was born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he launched his career as a comedian during an amateur night at a local comedy club. Over the years, Hart has become Hollywood's box office powerhouse, opening 10 films at No. 1 at the box office with $4.23 billion revenue at the global box office.
Hart is the founder of three companies: digital network Laugh Out Loud Network (LOL), multiplatform production company HartBeat Productions (HBP) and venture capital HartBeat Ventures (HBV). His goal is for these companies to create an eco-system and incubator for extraordinary growth and creativity. Hart is the chairman of LOL which serves as a platform for emerging comedians and is home to two premium series which both feature Hart: "What the Fit?" and "Cold as Balls." Serving as CEO of HBP, which creates unique content for worldwide audiences, Hart and HartBeat have a first-look production deal with Netflix. Together the two companies will produce feature films and Hart will star in four of those films. Additionally, Hart is the founder and CEO of HBV. Its mission is to invest in disruptive companies, specifically companies that can help elevate underserved communities by providing a platform for everybody to thrive. HBV has invested in over 30 companies since its launch in 2019.
Hart can currently be seen starring in the feature film "Fatherhood," which he also produced through HartBeat Productions. Based on the bestselling book "Two Kisses for Maddy," the movie has been watched by more than 74 million accounts globally making it one of the most successful original dramatic movies on Netflix. On the small screen, Hart can be seen on Motor Trend's "Kevin Hart's Muscle Car Crew," a show in which he created and produced through HBP. The show stars Hart and the Plastic Cup Boyz and centers around them trying to create a car club while building the muscle cars of their dreams. Hart can also be seen in two original programs on Peacock: his first-ever talk show "Hart to Heart" and the "Olympic Highlight" show, which he starred opposite Snoop Dog. Both shows received a ton of critical acclaim and praise for both Hart and LOL.
Early in 2021, Hart wrapped production on his new Netflix drama series, "True Story," which he is starring in opposite Wesley Snipes and producing through HBP. Additionally, he also wrapped production on Lionsgate's science-fiction action-comedy "Borderlands," which he will be starring in opposite Cate Blanchett.
In 2020, Hart released his seventh hourlong stand-up special, "Zero Fu**ks Given," which quickly became Netflix's biggest stand-up special of 2020. Hart also starred in and produced "Die Hart," the first production of its kind, created through his digital network LOL and executive produced through HBP. The series has since moved to Roku, and they have picked up a second season which will soon go into production. Hart earned an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series for his role in the short-form series.
In January 2022, Hart can be seen in Sony's action-comedy "The Man from Toronto" starring alongside Woody Harrelson and Kaley Cuoco. In December 2019, Hart's Emmy-nominated docu-series "Don't F**k This Up" was released on Netflix. The intimate and honest six-part series follows Hart's life over the previous year, giving viewers an inside look to the events that shaped his life. Hart's other recent box-office credits include "Jumanji: The Next Level," which crossed $800 million in global revenue, "The Secret Life of Pets 2" and "The Upside." In 2018, Hart co-wrote, produced and starred in Universal's "Night School" all under Hartbeat Productions. In 2017, Hart starred in "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle," his highest grossing movie to date. Hart's previous credits include "Central Intelligence," "The Secret Life of Pets" and the "Ride Along" films.
Hart's last global live stand-up comedy tour was "The Irresponsible Tour," which was also released as an original Netflix stand-up special in April 2019. Additionally, his 2017 standup tour, "What Now," grossed over $100 million worldwide and culminated in a performance to a sold-out crowd at Philadelphia's NFL stadium.
Hart is a New York Times bestselling author twice over. His first book for younger audience, "Markus Makes a Movie" (Random House), debuted at No. 6 on the coveted list and remained on the list for three weeks. Hart's memoir, "I Can't Make This Up," debuted at No. 1 on The New York Times Bestsellers list and remained on the Top 10 Nonfiction Hardcover Bestsellers list for 10 weeks straight. His first Audible Original, "The Decision," was nominated for an Audie award for Best Original Audiobook in 2021.
In the audio space, Hart can be heard biweekly on his radio talk show "Straight from the Hart," which airs on Sirius XM's Laugh Out Loud Radio (channel 96). In 2019, "Straight from the Hart" became available on Pandora and now ranks as the No. 1 podcast across all genres. He can also be heard on his weekly Sirius podcast, "Comedy Gold Minds."
Hart's brand partnerships include Fabletics Men, Chase J.P Morgan, Hydrow, Brüush, Tommy John and Therabody.

Join us on 10 June for the Good Societies workshop, Forging Future Families – followed by refreshments!
In the workshop Forging Future Families, Elly Dreyfus and Sophie Silverstein will explore a feminist-utopian analysis and reconceptualization of the family. This is loosely based on their bachelor theses in which they respectively considered the multi-directional relationship between capitalism and the heterosexual nuclear family (Sophie), and ways in which the teaching of home economics in US high school curricula was (mis)used to justify a gendered division of labor in and through the family (Elly). Beyond all else this workshop is about co-creation: we want to stimulate discussion on how we can forge the families of the future that reflect and strengthen our ideals for a Good Society.
– What do we want our future families (and societies) to look like?


Lovely Child Terracotta by 'Cipriani' This is a really cute child figure signed by the artist 'Cipriani' and made of Terracotta. She is sitting on a grassy hillock, holding a bunch of flowers. Approximately 16 inches (41cm) tall.
This lovely French terracotta bust is almost lifesize, measuring a large 22 inches high. The lovely lady wears a garland of grapes around her head, as one would expect as she is a goddess of wine. This piece is signed to the rear in the clay. The condition is amazingly good considering the medium but there are a few minor chips - the biggest is on the left hand front bottom edge of the base which you can probably see in the picture. Guiraude Riviere - Born in Toulouse, France, member of the Salon where he exhibited during the 1930's. The bronze version of this bust can be viewed in the Catley book of Art Deco figures and others on page 169 and was originally exhibited at the Salon des Humoristes in 1923. Email me for more pics if required. As a bronze this piece would be worth thousands of pounds, as it is a terracotta I am asking a very reasonable and affordable £995.
A lovely terracotta bust of a young girl by the Romanian artist D. H. Chiparus, which is signed to the reverse. She measures 13 inches high, has stylised hair and is very pretty. Her patina is green and the condition is excellent. This is another of my rare and affordable Chiparus items.
A very deco stylised terracotta Lady with wedge hair and a goat boy (satire) with wavy hair detail on his legs and geometric square hooves. It is signed by the artist G.Deblaize and measures 20 inches wide and nearly 12 inches high. Condition is good with no damage or repairs, just a few minor chips or scuffs - a lovely piece.
This plaster moquette of a Pierrot came from the Max Le Verrier collection. It was discovered when emptying a barn at the now sold Le Verrier family home. This is probably a prototype that never went into production. There is a signature on the base that looks like Janny-Dunand but cannot be sure. It is a one off and Le Verrier family owned piece. It measures 16 inches high (41cm). Condition is good but showing signs of its age, dating to the 1920s.
I have two of this same art deco terracotta dog by Max Le Verrier and also the original maquette that the mould was taken from in plaster. This large terracotta is of a stylised cubist Alsatian dog and it measures 28 inches long by 5.5 inches deep by 12 inches high (71cm x 14cm x 30cm). Signed on the base M. Le Verrier. Condition is good with just an old repaired corner which is very sound with an old crack mark across it. A Le Verrier family owned piece, from a clearance at the Le Verrier home.
French plaster moquette panel which was never put into production by Max Le Verrier. It is unsigned but has come from a collection of items which came from the Le Verrier family atelier. It shows a bearded man holding a basket of fruit. It measures 8.5 inches by 6.25 inches (22cm x 16cm). Unframed and with no way to hold it up on the wall a frame would have to be made for it.


On the 28th of November, 2015, I boarded a plane in Denver and was headed to Paris for the 21st U.N. climate conference known as COP21. It was slated to be the biggest such international climate conference ever as the world, and everyone from the Pope, to multinational corporations, and over 150 international heads of state were coming together to address the existential threat of a warming world by committing their countries to ratchet down the greenhouse gas emissions that have been flooding our atmosphere since the dawn of the industrial revolution.
Though I was not a credentialed member of the U.S. delegation (the conference hosted an astounding 38,000 official delegates from government, intergovernmental organizations, UN agencies, NGOs and civil society) I volunteered for the Climate Reality Project by pitching their amazing slate of international leadership trainings to the throngs of traffic that flowed through the massive venue in Le Bourget. Unfortunately, I was only able to stay for the first week of negotiations, but the excitement and enthusiasm to forge an agreement that kept our planet below 2 degrees Celsius of warming was papable, and by Dec. 11, 2015, that is just what 195 countries formally bound themselves to accomplish.
During his 2016 presidential campaign, candidate Donald Trump was critical of the Paris Agreement and often spoke of renegotiating the deal or pulling the U.S. out altogether. As President, he took the first step towards that end in March by signing an executive order to rescind the centerpiece of the U.S. emissions reduction goal – the Clean Power Plan (an EPA effort to slash greenhouse gas emissions from the electricity sector 32 percent below 2005 levels by 2030). Then on June 1st, he announced that he would indeed be withdrawing our country from the Agreement in a Rose Garden speech that was heavy-laden with misinformation. Though it was a heavy day for our organization and the millions of Americans who are anxious to confront the climate crisis, there has been an impressive outpouring of support from a vast coalition of U.S. businesses, elected officials on both sides of the aisle and activists to say "#IAmStillIn".
What does pulling out of Paris mean for the West?
Thanks to strong policy initiatives across the West aimed at increasing clean, renewable energy and reducing dependence on burning coal for electricity – many states including "California, Washington, New Mexico, Oregon and Utah — were likely to meet or exceed their climate reduction targets under the Clean Power Plan based on other policies and market forces," according to a recent High Country News article. Combining these state mandates for renewables together with the federal tax credits and the plummeting prices for wind and solar energy production and it appears that the West will continue to reduce emissions. This is good news for helping to mitigate the climate impacts such as increased wildfire, drought, extreme weather, reduced snowpack and threats to human health and wildlife.

Q: Pattern in lookbehind My question is related with lookbehinds, I want to find all the first numbers after the word "this", I have the following data:
188282 this is an example of a number 12345 and 54321
188282 this is an example of a number 1234556
this is an example of a number 1234556
187293 this is another example of a number 74893 and 83978
Pattern:
this is an example of a number \d+
Output:
188282 this is an example of a number 12345 and 54321
188282 this is an example of a number 1234556
this is an example of a number 1234556
187293 this is another example of a number 74893 and 83978
To match all of them I used a more generic approach as I know I want the first number after the word "this"
Pattern:
this[^\d]+\d+
Output:
188282 this is an example of a number 12345 and 54321
188282 this is an example of a number 1234556
this is an example of a number 1234556
187293 this is another example of a number 74893 and 83978
Im tring to use lookbehinds now, as I don't want to include part of the pattern in the results. Following my first approach:
Pattern:
(?<=this is an example of a number )\d+
Output:
188282 this is an example of a number 12345 and 54321
188282 this is an example of a number 1234556
this is an example of a number1234556
187293 this is another example of a number 74893 and 83978
Looks I'm getting there, I want to cover the last case as before, so I tried my second approach.
Pattern:
(?<=this[^\d]+)\d+
Output:
188282 this is an example of a number 12345 and 54321
188282 this is an example of a number 1234556
this is an example of a number 1234556
187293 this is another example of a number 74893 and 83978
Doesn't match anything
Is it possible to have patterns inside lookbehinds? Am I trying a wrong approach to this problem? It's a bit long but I wanted to show you what I tried so far instead of just asking the question
Thanks in advance

A: Yes, you can use patterns inside lookbehinds, but that you can't do in most flavor of regex is to have a variable length lookbehind. In other words, you can't use a quantifier (but a fixed quantifier like {n} is allowed) inside a lookbehind. But some regex flavour allows you to use the alternation | or a limited (like in java) quantifier {1,n}.
With .net languages variable length lookbehinds are allowed.

A: The thing with lookbehinds is that not all languages support variable width lookbehinds (they can't support lookbehinds where what's inside can be of variable number of characters).
What you can do, might be using a lookahead and a capture group:
(?=this[^\d]+(\d+))

regex101 demo
Or maybe the \K regex character which resets a match (if your regex engine supports it).
this[^\d]+\K\d+

regex101 demo

A: It depends on your implementation of regex. You'll have to do some testing for sure.
I know that some implementations don't like this:
(?<=\d{1,5}) or (?<=\w*)
But they will work fine with this:
(?<=\d{5}) or (?<=\w{1000})
In other words, no repetition or flexible lengths.

All wards at Clitheroe Community Hospital are now back up and running.
Last August, health officials were forced to close a 10-bed ward at the then recently-opened multi-million pound facility due to faulty flooring.
Management had to make the difficult decision to close part of Ribblesdale Ward at the 32-bed hospital in Chatburn Road, Clitheroe, after staff discovered parts of the floor had disbonded, causing the vinyl to bubble.
Although admitting at the time the situation with the floor was "clearly unacceptable" and posed a trip hazard to patients, staff and visitors, officials at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust stressed it was "business as usual" and no patients have been turned away as a result.
The move sparked controversy at the time as the £7.2m. state-of-the-art hospital had only been open less than three months when it was hit by the faulty flooring problems.
However, the work is now complete, it has been revealed, and staff and patients are back on the wards.
In a statement to the Clitheroe Advertiser and Times, Mr Martin Morgan, Director of Estates and Facilities at East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "The remedial work required to replace flooring at Clitheroe Community Hospital was substantially completed on December 5th, 2014.

Sponsor a Child in Colombia
in Colombia
At present there are seven SOS Children's Villages, five SOS Youth Facilities, one SOS Hermann Gmeiner School, two SOS Vocational Training Centres and sixteen SOS Social Centres.
The activities of SOS Children's Villages in Colombia started in 1971. The first program was established in Bogota, the country's capital city. Currently SOS Children's Villages is supporting children both in SOS families and in their families of origin through seven programs in the country.
Sponsoring a Child in Colombia
SOS relies on the kindness and generosity of Canadians to be able to provide a home for the most vulnerable children of Colombia.
For just $36/month you can sponsor a child in Colombia and help provide an orphaned or abandoned child with:
A safe and nurturing home
A loving SOS mother
Clothing and toys
All the things necessary for a bright future
Please help us ensure a loving home for every Colombian child. Sponsor a child in Colombia.
SOS Children's Villages in Colombia
Thousands of Colombian children grow up in families who face difficulties. The country's civil war has arguably affected the country's youngest segment of population more than any other. SOS Children's Villages has responded to the needs of children, young people and families in Colombia.
The Colombian national SOS Children's Village association was founded in 1968. The first program was established in Bogota, the country's capital city, in 1971. At present, the organisation is supporting Colombian children and young people in seven different locations by providing day-care, education, medical services and vocational training. Children who can no longer live with their families are cared for by SOS mothers.
The 500th SOS Children's Village, located in Cali, was officially inaugurated in March 2010.
A country shattered by decades of conflict
The Republic of Colombia is a country in the north-west of South America.
Colombia is the only South American country that has both Caribbean and Pacific coasts. It has the Andes running down its western side, the "Llanos" to the east and the Amazon jungle to the south.
With roughly 47 million people, the country has the third largest Spanish-speaking population worldwide after Mexico and Spain.
Over the last fifty years, Colombia has been marked by an intractable and complex internal conflict that has consumed many lives and led to the displacement of millions of Colombians. The recurring patterns of violence include murder, torture, kidnappings of civilians and forced displacement. Unequal land distribution has been one of the root causes of conflict and displacement in Colombia. The country continues to be immersed in an internal conflict that affects all sectors of society.
In recent years, Colombia has launched a wide-ranging tourism campaign in order to improve the country's tainted reputation in the world and attract more foreign visitors.
Inequality between rich and poor in Colombia
The extent to which the phenomenon of internal displacement affects the Colombian people is unmatched in the Americas. Nearly 10 per cent of the Colombian population has been forced to migrate within their own country. In 2010 alone, 280,000 people were newly displaced. Internal displacement is one of the main reasons why poverty levels - particularly in rural areas - have been constantly high.
According to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), nearly half the Colombian population lives below the national poverty line. Furthermore, 35 per cent of Colombians are forced to live on less than two US dollars a day and around 16 per cent eke out an existence in shacks. Living conditions in rural and urban areas of the country differ significantly: in rural areas, almost half the people lack access to potable water and proper sanitation.
There is little access to medical services and education. In bigger cities, the situation is notably better. Nearly one in five Colombians is chronically malnourished. Although Colombia has seen significant economic growth in recent years, the income and wealth distribution remains highly unequal.
Colombian children at risk due to violence and poverty
Colombia's 18 million children make up for roughly 40 per cent of the country's total population. The armed conflict doesn't exclude Colombia's most vulnerable sections of society: young children and adolescents. At present, around 11,000 child soldiers are actively involved in Colombia's internal conflict. After being recruited, they frequently become victims of assassinations, land mines, mutilation, sexual abuse and kidnapping.
In Colombia, around 820,000 children under the age of seventeen are orphaned. Many of them grow up without a family. They are thus vulnerable to recruitment by street-gangs in which drug abuse and high levels of violence rapidly become part of their everyday lives.
At present, an estimated 30,000 Colombian children live on the street. They wash windshields at traffic lights, sell merchandise or collect reusable items on waste dumps.
Roughly 10 per cent of all children aged 5-14 - particularly young boys - are engaged in different types of labour activities. Many of these young children are forced to work to earn money for an entire family. The majority of them do not go to school.

Today, October 1, 2016 is International Coffee Day ! When we are drinking coffee we are actually drinking the seed / cherry from the coffee plant. The world drinks over 2.25 billion cups of coffee every day ! Do you know what is involved to get you your simple cup of morning goodness? Take a few minutes to read this article and find out, or better yet take a trip to a coffee country.
The coffee industry is worth over $ 100 billion world wide ( more than gold ) employing over 120 million people throughout the world. It is the most sought after commodity after oil. Coffee was introduced in Ecuador early in the 19th century, and remained one of Ecuador's top export crops into the 1970s. Today it has been replaced by oil, shrimp and bananas.
Quality of coffee varies with genetic variety, altitude, weather, air, and soil - similar to wines and cacao. The varied ecosystems in Ecuador provide different coffee growing cultures, which creates complex and varied flavours.
Additionally growing, processing, roasting, and finally the method of extraction all impact the coffee's flavour. This is why Ecuadorean coffee beans make some of the most interesting and unique cups of joe on our planet.
Until recently our premium coffees, as with most agricultural products, are exported. Over 30 countries worldwide. Russia, Poland, Germany, Colombia, Italy, and the Netherlands buy over 80 percent of our total export volume. In 2015 Ecuador's total annual coffee production was about 42,600 tons ( 644,000 - 60 kg bags ) from 200,000 hectares under cultivation. World coffee production is 9.7 million tons annually - so Ecuador is a very small player producing less than .5 % of world production.
However there is some recognition, and growing local demand for our home grown quality coffee. It is still fairly rare as Ecuadorians prefer, and most cafes and restaurants here use instant coffee. Actually 86 % of Ecuador's coffee production is high yield, low quality instant coffee. Most coffee is grown on small several hectare fincas, where it is co-planted with cacao, citrus fruits, bananas, and or mangoes to provide interesting flavoured beans.
Today's educational coffee tour is to southern Ecuador's Loja, one of the most important coffee growing regions. About 5.5 hours south of Cuenca we arrive at a coffee farm in Vilcabamba.
The coffee plants seem randomly scattered, and grow on steep very irregular misty hillsides where the morning sun gains momentum in drying the overnight dew.
This high altitude is close to the sun for hotter days, colder nights, and less oxygen causing the plant more stress, which forces it to send most of its nutrients to its seed. From a North American agriculture perspective the organic farms are very natural, primitive, and poorly maintained, and as a result provide marginal yields. Protected by the haughty spirit of Saraguro's indigenous people, these 100 % arabica beans that are grown at an elevation of 1,500 meters are of high quality.
The " bean belt " for growing coffee is between the latitudes of 25 degrees North and 30 degrees South. Coffee plants can live for up to 100 years, but risk of diseases such as leaf rust and roya increases with plant age. Prices fluctuate and when too low to justify harvesting the beans are left to rot on the bushes which causes problems with pests. On this finca the soil is rich and dark, the steep mountainside provides altitude, varying climate, and fresh air. Pigs and chickens are raised to " weed and aerate the soil " and contribute organic matter.
Plants are usually about five years old when they first flower ( twice annually ) and set a green cherry. After about 8 months the cherry ripens and turns red. When the berries are red and ready for harvesting they are hand picked - a difficult and labour intensive process. Selectively harvesting only the ripe cherries a typical worker will collect 50 kilos daily. Red berries, with their higher aromatic oil and lower organic acid content, are more fragrant, smooth, and mellow. Coffee picking is one of the most important stages in coffee production.
Farmers deliver their daily harvests to a local cooperativa for processing. Processing production encompasses the drying (wet milling) process, threshing / dry milling, classification, and roasting of the coffee beans. All green coffee is processed however the methods vary and have a significant effect on the flavor.
First is the wet milling process of which there are two main ways to dry the coffee.
i.) The wet process immediately depulps the bean. After the pulp has been removed the bean still has two additional layers a silver skin and the parchment. It is then left to sit overnight so that a sugar layer called the mucilage can break down and then the coffee is washed. Once all the sugars are washed off to eliminate the risk of fermentation, the coffee in parchment is placed on elevated beds to dry for about a week. This process is used for exported coffee.
ii.) The dry or natural process spreads the beans out to dry in the sunshine on cement patios. They are regularly raked to prevent mold and ensure uniform drying. When coffee is dried in the fruit, the sugars of the fruit ferment and seep into the bean, if done properly these can give exotic fruity undertones and even wine notes to the coffee, but if done wrong the coffee can have a strong taste of rotten fruit. It is much less labour intensive and no water is required. It is used primarily for domestic consumption known as bola.
The beans must be dried to a water content of about 10% before they are stable.
Next in the threshing, or hulling process, a rustic machine removes the dry husk parchment from the green bean and sorts the beans according to size. The smallest beans are the sweetest.
These cleaned and sorted beans then fill sacks which are then sent to a cooperativa roaster for the final processes of tostión or roasting.
The beans are now officially considered coffee. The aroma experienced from grinding the beans was heavenly.
Coffee is not a formula like Coca Cola or Sunkist orange juice. The coffee flavour changes depending on many different factors. There are four points in a coffee´s lifespan where its flavour can drastically be changed.
The first being its genetics: altitude, micro region and varietal. The coffee cherry's quality is at its peak when harvested deep red.
The second being how it is processed can showcase the inherent flavour attributes of the bean. The third being the roast level, whether light, medium or dark. And finally the fourth being how we extract the coffee, whether espresso, pour over, French press or simply cowboy style.
It is because of these nuances that people developed a system to classify coffee. In recent years experts have even begun to borrow tools from the wine industry, most importantly the wine flavor wheel.
The flavor wheel describes different aromas and flavors in your cup of Joe. The quality is determined by several characteristics: flavour, fragrance and aroma, residual taste, acidity, body, uniformity, and clarity.
Now it's time to test your taste buds with a coffee challenge. You can identify fresh aromas ranging from ripe fruits and spices to chocolate and even a garlic/onion combination in different roasts of coffee beans before, and after grinding. Contrary to popular belief, the lighter the roast the higher the caffeine content. Also in lighter roasted coffees you can detect more unique aromas and flavors.
Finally, hot water is added to the ground coffee to enable you to taste each variety. This tasting portion of the tour focuses on immersing the senses in the characteristics of the coffee. Guests learned to identify different coffees by aroma, flavor, body, and acidity. This allows them to differentiate between different types and qualities of coffee. It was an overwhelming sensory experience, though the professionals make it look easy.
Ecuadorian barista 2014 & 2015 champion Diego Felipe Mejia has been invited to compete in the Third Global Barista Championship, December 2, 3 and 4, in Harbin, China. He will use San Lorenzo brand coffee grown at Hacienda La Papaya in Loja Province.
There is still some controversy about health benefits or side effects from caffeine. It is mood enhancing, increases alertness and performance, and has antibacterial properties for prevention of dental cavities. The negative side effects include insomnia, and diuretic effects - in excess nervousness, and accelerating heartbeat.
The Consejo Cafetalero Nacional is one of the institutions in Ecuador which promote the development of the industry. However, government COFENAC, CORPEI, are primarily interested in high-yield production and sales, not quality. Most government funds are going into Robusta plantations and low quality Arabica plantations and very few make it to high quality regions. In 2014, 86% of their coffee exports were instant coffee and only 14% green coffee. and ANCAFE (Asociación Nacional de Exportadores de Café) are amongst Ecuador's leading coffee companies.
The country lacks a solid coffee agency to promote good practices and give technical assistance to farmers, such as the Federation of Coffee Growers (FNC) in Colombia. This is due to lack of funding, and the fact that coffee is not considered a primary agricultural activity in Ecuador like it is in Colombia. Focus has been on production volumes and lower quality coffees.

Q: How to exclude namespace from fluent-bit logging Is there a way to exclude certain namespaces in fluent-bit? I would like to exclude certain namespaces, so that fluent-bit doesn't forward all logs created in those namespaces to ELK.
Is there a way to do it besides adding annotation to each pod in that namespace? I'm aware that you can update all of the pods annotations in a namespace via kubectl.

kubectl annotate pods --namespace=pks-system --all fluentbit.io/exclude='true'

A: I think the following input plugin configuration can do this:
 [INPUT]
        Name              tail
        Path              /var/log/containers/*.log
        Exclude_Path      /var/log/containers/*_<myappnamespace>_*.log,/var/log/containers/*_<myappnamespace2>_*.log
        Tag               kube.infra.<namespace_name>.<pod_name>.<container_name>
        Tag_Regex         (?<pod_name>[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?(\.[a-z0-9]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])?)*)_(?<namespace_name>[^_]+)_(?<container_name>.+)-
        Parser            cri
        DB                /var/log/flb_kube_infra.db
        Mem_Buf_Limit     500KB
        Skip_Long_Lines   On
        Refresh_Interval  10

Found it here: https://github.com/fluent/fluent-bit/issues/758
The Exclude_Path property defines the name of the namespace for which logs will be ignored. For multiple logs use comma separated

A: According to official Fluent Bit documentation, for the moment it is actually the unique way of requesting that the log processor skips the logs from certain Pods. I searched through it and found nothing but this fragment.
In addition to that, there is even a feature request raised on their GitHub project so for now we can hope it will be available in a future release.
In documentation there is only example of a separate Pod definition but for sure you should be able to apply it to Pod template in Deployment definition so you don't have to apply it to each Pod separately or to every Pod in certain namespace using the kubectl command you provided.

A: You have achieve namespace exclusion with a combination of the three filters kubernetes, nest and grep
[FILTER]
Name                kubernetes

Telehealth's role expanding in disaster, ER relief efforts
by Sara Jackson |
Aug 8, 2011 4:18pm
We reported a few weeks ago on telehealth finding new utility in healthcare, completely apart from the usual physician-to-patient video-conference.
Nearly two months later, telehealth's evolution continues apace. Two intriguing uses for the technology, indicating its use is widening and it's applications may reach far beyond the patient bedside, include:
1. Providing counseling to disaster victims via telehealth. When what's being called one of the deadliest and most destructive tornadoes in U.S. history struck Joplin, Mo., in late May, it left an unexpected need it its wake--psychiatric counseling. Calls to the local crisis hotline more than tripled in the six weeks month after the twister touched down.
Psychiatrists at the University of Missouri School of Medicine announced last week they're stepping in to help, but with a twist. They're providing free counseling services to residents using telehealth technology, rather than in-person sessions, according to a report from CBS St. Louis.
Counselors are treating about 20 residents each week for anxiety, depression and other problems as they struggle to cope with losing loved ones and jobs, as well as other financial hardship, CBS reports.
One unusual challenge to the usual telepsychiatry approach is that many of these patients don't have ongoing mental health problems, and some have never received prior psychiatric services, hospital officials tell CBS. The assumption is that many will have a blend of psychiatric and post-traumatic stress symptoms.
"These patients are from all walks of life and all ages. Many of them never had mental health problems or had their problems under control before the tornado," John Lauriello, chair of the university's psychiatry department, tells CBS.
2. Using telehealth to triage emergencies. Administrators at Sensenbrenner Hospital in Ontario, Canada, finally have lost their patience with patients who use the ER for non-emergency needs.
Frank Empey, assistant administrator of nursing services, tells the Northern Times that a majority of patients who present at the ER in the evenings do not need emergency attention. Often, they're trying to obtain non-emergency services, such as prescription refills.
The hospital finally had enough this month, and sent out a news release directing patients to call the Ontario Telehealth nurse hotline before heading for the ER. Nurses there are available 24 hours a day, and are authorized to help patients triage their symptoms, and determine if they truly need emergent care.
"If you're not sure if it is an emergency, call Telehealth," was Empey's cheeky guidance to Ontario residents.
It'll be interesting to see how much traction their new initiative gets--and how many unneeded ER visits are avoided.

Q: How to declare date specific value for a function from this use example:
echo time_elapsed_string('2013-05-01 00:22:35', true);

from this Converting timestamp to time ago in PHP e.g 1 day ago, 2 days ago...
it must write exactly the date '2013-05-01 00:22:35'
now, i want to take date from this data in red box:

which i succeed if i write it like this:

di posisi sekarang:
 <?php echo $row["tanggal"];  ?>

but when i used it like this:
echo time_elapsed_string('<?php echo $row["tanggal"];  ?>', true);

it doesn't work, how do i get the data right?

A: You are trying to write PHP inside a PHP string. Just remove PHP tags and echo:
echo time_elapsed_string($row["tanggal"], true);

In your context:

di posisi sekarang:

    <?php echo time_elapsed_string($row["tanggal"], true);  ?>


We do not own or operate any parking facilities and all the prices you see on ParkMe are set by the parking owners themselves.
Most parking providers' online rates are equal to or less than their drive-up rates. Some high-demand parking spots go for a premium online because you're guaranteed a spot to be waiting for your arrival, even if the lot is sold out to drive-up customers. That said, we can't issue a refund for any difference between the online and drive-up rate.

The Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act prevents non-Canadians from buying residential property in Canada for 2 years starting on January 1, 2023.
The Government of Canada has passed a new law to help make homes more affordable for people living in Canada. The Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act prevents non-Canadians and corporations controlled by non-Canadians from purchasing residential property in Canada for 2 years.
In developing the accompanying regulations, the Government reached out to Canadians for their feedback. A detailed consultation document containing specific policy proposals intended for the regulations was available for comment for 4 weeks in August and September 2022. The consultation process received approximately 200 written submissions from individuals and stakeholders.
The Regulations will also come into force on January 1, 2023. The Act and its regulations will be repealed after 2 years.
For more details, read the Regulations in the Canada Gazette.
The Act defines residential property as buildings with 3 homes or less, as well as parts of buildings like a semi-detached house or a condominium unit. The law does not prohibit the purchase of larger buildings with multiple units.
The Act has a $10,000 fine for any non-Canadian or anyone who knowingly assists a non-Canadian and is convicted of violating the Act. If a court finds that a non-Canadian has done this, they may order the sale of the house.
Please note: This does not apply to non-Canadians who are looking to rent.

Statistics Canada has also created an interactive mapping tool that could help determine if a specific residential property is part of a CMA or CA.

The Act also establishes that, if a corporation or entity commits an offence, officers, directors, senior officials and other representatives of the corporation or entity can be a party to and liable for the offence.
Q. Do third parties, like real estate agents or lawyers, have a role in enforcing the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act?
It is the responsibility of non-Canadian buyers themselves to ensure they are eligible to purchase a residential property while the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act is in force.
The Act provides industry professionals with the flexibility to manage compliance within their respective circumstances and does not impose information collection, processing or reporting requirements for lawyers, notaries, real estate agents or other professionals.
It is for these professionals to determine what, if any, measures may be required for them to meet their professional responsibilities and duties to their clients.
Q. Who was consulted during the development of the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act and the accompanying regulations?
The Government committed to bring forward a prohibition in Budget 2022 and the legislation was deliberated on in Parliament as part of the Budget Implementation Act, 2022 No. 1.
Although the Regulations were exempted from pre-publication in the Canada Gazette, the federal government consulted with government and non-government stakeholders.
This included publishing a detailed consultation document outlining the specific policy proposals intended for the regulations on the CMHC website for 4 weeks in August-September 2022. CMHC invited provinces and territories, Indigenous governments and organizations, industry and other partners in the housing system to comment directly on the consultation document.

Spring is here and feels so great! I love seeing all the beautiful flowers in bloom in our neighborhood. My daughter loves all the pretty flowers too. She spent Saturday with me running through the plant nursery, chasing butterflies and smelling the pretty flowers.
Spring is also a time to enjoy playing sports with the kids. My son loves to play flag football and baseball in the spring and we love to watch simply and cheer him on! It's so much fun to enjoy kids sports when the weather is nice like it is now.
When we're not cheering my son on at his games or practices, we love to spend time cheering on our favorite teams at home. Celebrating big game days at home with friends and family are the best. I make our favorite game day appetizers and foods and we have a blast!
I have lots of fun appetizers that I make for big game days and they all have one thing in common, they are super quick and easy to make! The one thing that I have learned about entertaining is that you've got to keep it simple, especially on game day!
Keeping recipes quick and easy like this super simple BBQ Puff Pastry appetizers makes it so much easier to enjoy spending time celebrating with friends and family watching the big game. I mean who wants to spend hours in the kitchen when you're entertaining! Not me, that's for sure!
For this recipe I used Curly's Pulled Pork. It's a huge time saver and has an amazing flavor that works perfectly in this recipe. I love having Curly's on hand when we're entertaining because there are so many fun little appetizers you can make with it and it's such a crowd pleaser!
To start this recipe, I bake some puff pastry shells in the oven until they're nice and golden brown.
Then I pop out those little tops so I can fill up the shells.
Next I just fill the shells with Curly's Pulled Pork.
Then I top with a little homemade coleslaw. I make my coleslaw with thinly sliced cabbage, carrot and red onion and mix it with a little mayo, vinegar, pepper and celery salt.
After you get the ingredients together, these little BBQ Puff Pastry Appetizers come together in just minutes.
You're friends and family will love these! They make the perfect appetizer for game day or any day and are about the size of a little slider.
Prepare Puff Pastry Shells according to package directions, baking them to golden brown. Separately, prepare Curly's Pulled Pork BBQ as directed on package, heating through.
For slaw, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
To assemble, place Curly's Pulled Pork BBQ in baked puff pastry and top with slaw. Assemble on serving platter to serve!
