Converting to Judaism:
Conservative and Orthodox Jews require that the potential convert be instructed about how to live as a Jew, and undergo kabbalat ol mitzvot (agreement to do the commandments), mila (circumcision for men),* and tevilah (immersion in a mikvah [ritual bath]), and that the procedure be supervised by a Beit Din [court] of three people. Note that the members of the Bet Din must be acceptable witnesses. According to Orthodox Jewish law, a witness must scrupulously observe all the laws, particularly Shabbat. From an Orthodox standpoint, therefore, any Jew who does not follow Orthodox standards of practice — rabbi or not — would not be qualified to sit on a Beit Din.
The Reform movement requires that the potential convert agree to observe the commandments (according to Reform standards) and participate publicly in the community, but they do not require mikvah or mila. The Reform movement recommends that the potential convert be made aware of mikvah and mila, and that their conversion would be unacceptable to Orthodox Jews, but such notification is not required.
Potential converts should be aware that, depending on the movement that performs the conversion, other movements may or may not recognize their conversion. For example, Orthodox movements do not recognize all Reform conversions, most Conservative conversions and even some Orthodox conversions. Conservative rabbis will accept Reform conversions with mila and tevilah, regardless of the observance level of the Beit Din, for the sake of intergroup harmony. In general, the more liberal the movement, the more accepting it is of other movement's conversions; the more orthopractic the conversion, the more acceptable it is to more movements.
The debate among movements as to the acceptability of different procedures remains unresolved, and is unlikely to ever be resolved. Liberal Judaism views this as a question of stringency. Therefore, for Liberal Judaism to say, "I will comply with the Orthodox standard," is to acknowledge an insufficiency of its own standards. Obviously, then, nonOrthodox rabbis are unwilling to leave all conversions to the Orthodox. Conversely, for Orthodox Judaism to say. "Liberal standards are acceptable," is to acknowledge a superfluity of its stricter standards, an equally unlikely scenario. Orthodox Judaism views conversion as a matter of objective reality. A nonJew does or does not become Jewish by a particular procedure. This is in some ways analogous to the procedure by which a person becomes a naturalized citizen. Just as the oath of allegiance that the person takes to become a citizen is only the end of a process, and only certain judges may administer that oath; so to (l'havdil) the Beit Din, tevilah (immersion), and circumcision (if male) are the culmination of a process and may only be administered by certain rabbis. This is unacceptable to Liberal Judaism, as part of the procedure is an understanding and acceptance of the world view of Orthodox Judaism.
The question of Jewish status in Israel is different. Jews (regardless of affiliation; regardless of conversion status) may receive Israeli citizenship under the Law of Return. Once in Israel, one's acceptance as a Jew is usually up to the Orthodox religious authorities, who may or may not regard a nonOrthodox conversion as halachicallyvalid regardless of the affiliation on your Israeli identity card.
Although there is no legal requirement mandating that a male convert to Judaism adopt the Hebrew name of Abraham or that female converts use Ruth or Sarah as a first name, there is a longstanding tradition to this effect. In most cases at the time of conversion a male convert is named Avraham ben Avraham Avinu (Abraham the son of Abraham our father), and a female convert is named Sara bat Avraham Avinu (Sarah the daughter of Abraham our father) or Rut bat Avraham Avinu (Ruth the daughter of Amraham our father).
Two reasons are offered for naming converts Avraham. First, the Bible (Genesis 17:5) speaks of Abraham as being "the father of a multitute of nations," and since proselytes come from diverse peoples and backgrounds, it is appropriate that they be called the sons and daughters of Abraham.
A second explanation, offered in the Midrash, runs as follows: Since the Children of Israel are called G-d's "friends," as it is written, "the seed of Abraham My [G-d's] friend (Isaiah 41:8), and since proselytes are called G-d's "friends," as it is written, "G-d is the friend of the proselyte" (Deuteronomy 10:18), it was concluded that Abraham has a special relationship to proselytes. In Jewish tradition, Abraham becomes known as "the father of proselytes" because once non-Jews have converted to Judaism, their legal connection with their former non-Jewish families is, for the most part, severed, and the family of Abraham is now their family. The Talmud calls them, "newborn babies" (Yevamot 22a).
Nevertheless, proselytes are still obligated to fulfill the biblical comandment of "Honor thy father and mother," and therefore the Jewish laws of mourning must be observed by the proselyte when his non-Jewish parents die. The Talmud also indicates that if a proselyte's father dies, he may inherit his portion of the estate along with his non-Jewish brother.
Offering the convert the name of Abraham is explained by the Midrash to be an expression of deep love. The Midrash says, "G-d loves proselytes dearly. And we, too, should show our love for them because they left their father's house, and their people, and the Gentile community, and have joined us."
Female converts take the name of Sarah because she was the wife of Abraham, the first Hebrew, and also because, as tradition has it, she and Abraham were active in "winning souls" (Genesis 12:5) to the worship of G-d; Abraham converting idol-worshipping men and Sarah converting the women.
Female converts to Judaism also take the name of Ruth because the Ruth of the Bible is regarded as the epitome of loyalty to Judaism, although she was not a convert in the formal sense, not having undergone immersion in a ritul bath (mikva). Ruth is famous for swearing eternal allegiance to her mother in law, Naomi.
Think about your reasons for converting and if they seem trivial–like wanting to be 'different' or boredom or wanting to impress someone you have a crush on–then converting to Judaism is probably not a process that you'll want to undertake. Your motives will need to be more pure. If you strongly and sincerely identify with the spiritual and cultural aspects of Judaism, for example, or are engaged to or married to a Jew, then you're ready to convert.
Decide which type of Judaism you'll want to convert to. There are four branches of Judaism (Reform, Conservative, Reconstructionist and Orthodox) to be considered. Research each of the four types and, if possible, speak with people who practice each of the different philosophies in order to formulate an educated, well-rounded opinion of which you'll want to belong (see Resources).
Find a rabbi who can mentor you. You'll need someone to help guide you through your spiritual journey and to give you advice and encouragement along the way, and a rabbi can do just that. A rabbi is a man or woman trained in Jewish law, ritual and tradition and is ordained for leadership of a Jewish congregation, particularly as a chief religious official with a synagogue (church).
Learn Jewish history, culture and tradition through classes. This is the most challenging and time-consuming part of the process. The rabbi mentoring you will require at least several months of classes and possibly up to a few years, depending on the branch philosophy you'll be joining. Among the things you'll learn about during this time period are the Jewish calendar, Jewish philosophy and theology, holy books and Jewish Law and customs. You'll also need to learn to read and speak some the Jewish language Hebrew.
Go before the beth din. The beth din (also spelled beit din) is a religious court that rules upon a conversion. The beth din is a court of three Jews, at least one of whom is a rabbi. It's the beth din's responsibility to determine whether or not the applicant is worthy or ready to convert to Judaism.
Undergo mikevah, mileh and mitzvot. Under the Code of Jewish Law (the "Shulchan Aruch") these three processes are required for a conversion to Judaism to be valid. The mikveh is a ritual bath in a body of water, usually in a pool that's specifically for of ritual purification. With the milah, male converts must undergo circumcision, or if he's already circumcised, he undergoes a symbolic ritual where just a drop of blood is taken. With the mitzvot, the convert must agree to observe all 613 commandments in the holy book the Torah.
Jacob from Israel January 28, 2019
Hello to all Honest people of earth,
In Judaism, we don't believe that all human must be Jewish, we rather see in the Torah that G-D want's all people to practice the following 7 commandments;
1. Do not worship idols
2. Do not curse G-D
3. Do not kill
4. Do not commit adultery
5. Do not steal
6. Do not eat any livestock while it's still alive.
7. Keep up an honest court system.
However, if someone feels that he wants to totally dedicate himself to the service of G-D, he may connect himself to the children of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob, and become a fully observant Jew.
Please stay away of all the (so called "religious") movements that drove away so many Jews from their tradition. In 30 years from now, there won't be left any Reform Jews, since their younger generation cannot cling to the shaky spiritual remnants that were left by their founders.
Here is a quote of the "American Heritage Dictionary of Cultural Literacy" on the description of Reform Judaism; "The most LIBERAL branch of JUDAISM. In Reform Judaism, all of the Jewish law, or TORAH, is subject to adaptation to fit modern circumstances." – unfortunately, Reform Judaism cherishes "modern circumstances" more than G-D and Moses, having no limits to what can be changed from the Torah.
There is no way Judaism can fit the cultural circumstances of any time, Judaism did not fit Pharaoh, nor was it adaptable to the Babylonians or the Greeks. Judaism is the law of G-D's army and was not meant to be something similar to any culture of any nation.
G-D will like you more as an Honest Gentile, than as a make believe "Reform Convert".
Remember; an honest citizen is better than a treacherous soldier.

Judaism is such a wonderful religion. Its number one concern is the present life and cherishing the gift of the life unlike other religions.

I am ready and willing to serve Israel. I have always love the land and her people. I am 57 but still wish to have active service. I have deployed most recently to Iraq and Afghanistan. I am fit and trained. I will complete a second master degree, in intelligence studies, this May. I am more than willing to convert and commit. One suggestion I would proffer and that is that Israel develop a trusted foreign Legion for volunteer fighters.

The postdoctoral fellow will be a member of the "Nuclear Structure" research team at LPC-Caen. The group's work focusses on the structure of nuclei far from stability using direct reactions. The present position will support principally the study of light neutron-rich systems at the RIBF facility at RIKEN (Japan). In particular the postdoctoral fellow will be a member of the SAMURAI collaboration and will be involved in the ANR funded EXPAND ("Explorations autour de la dripline") project to upgrade the existing NEBULA neutron detector array. The successful applicant will also be involved in the analysis and publication of data acquired in previous campaigns of experiments with the SAMURAI setup including NEBULA.
Involvement in the testing, setting up, commissioning and first experiments of the SAMURAI setup's upgraded fast neutron array "NEBULA-Plus".
They will also undertake the analysis of the commissioning data as well as data acquired in previous experiments aimed at exploring the structure of very light neutron-rich nuclei at and beyond the neutron dripline. The interpretation and publication of the results of this work is expected.
Depending on the scheduling of experiments at the RIBF, involvement in experiments lead by other teams within the SAMURAI collaboration is possible. Similarly, as in the case of all group members, participation in lower energy direct reaction experiments at other facilities (GANIL/SPIRAL and/or TRIUMF/ISAC) may be required.
The position will be held within the "Nuclear Structure" research group which is currently composed of 4 CNRS scientists, 2 university lecturers and 2 PhD students. The group is part of the LPC-Caen ("Laboratoire de Physique Corpusculaire de Caen" – www.lpc-caen.in2p3.fr). The laboratory comprises some 80 staff (scientists and technical support) and is supported by the IN2P3/CNRS, the ENSICAEN engineering school ("l'Eole Nationale Supérieure d'Ingénieurs de Caen") and the "Université de Caen Normandie". The laboratory is situated on the "Campus 2" of the university north of the city centre, in close proximity to the GANIL laboratory.
The postdoctoral fellow will be expected to undertake international travel, in particular to Japan, for periods varying from some 1 to 4 weeks. During experiments shift work and working on weekends may be necessary. The experiments will be carried out at accelerator facilities whereby the necessary authorisations will be attributed following a yearly medical examination arranged by the laboratory.
Applications should include: a letter of motivation, a CV, a list of publications and two letters of reference.


This building at 231 Government Street is currently occupied by Magnolia Accessories.
It was originally designed and built in 1929 for former Duncan Mayor Thomas Pitt (1870-1937) as a business premises for his garage and automobile dealership. Unfortunately, the Great Depression struck soon after Thomas Pitt opened his car dealership and the business failed.
This building was designed and built for Thomas Pitt in 1929 by architect Douglas James, who lived in Duncan at the time and designed several buildings still standing in downtown Duncan and in Duncan residential districts.
This building was originally designed as an Art Deco structure but many of the Art Deco elements have been obscured by later renovations. Note, for example, the arches above the doors and windows; these were originally arched cleristory windows which have since been removed or covered over.
After Thomas Pitt left the building, it became a restaurant called the Totem Fountain Lunch, also known as the Totem Cafe, which occupied the building until the 1960s (and possibly later; we'll do some more research on that).
In 2000, it was occupied by another restaurant called the New Totem Restaurant. It was later occupied by another restuarant called Dino's Grill, which was destroyed by a fire in this building in 2012 and did not reopen afterwards.
The building was repaired after the 2012 fire and is now occupied by Magnolia Accessories.

Two missions, two wars, one man -- and time running out.
Over the course of seven novels, Tom Clancy's "genius for big, compelling plots" and his "natural narrative gift" (The New York Times Magazine) have mesmerized tens of millions of readers and established him as one of the preeminent storytellers of our time. Without Remorse, however, goes beyond anything he has ever done.
Its hero is John Kelly, a man well familiar to Clancy's readers by his code name, Mr. Clark. In The Sum of All Fears, he hunted down nuclear terrorists. In Clear and Present Danger, he led aerial raids against drug lords. In The Cardinal of the Kremlin, he spirited away a KGB chief's family by submarine. But nothing will ever be as deadly -- or as personal -- as the danger he must face in Without Remorse.
John Kelly, former Navy SEAL and Vietnam veteran, is still getting over the accidental death of his wife six months before, when he befriends a young woman with a decidedly checkered past. When that past reaches out for her in a particularly horrifying fashion, he vows revenge and, assembling all of his old skills, sets out to track down the men responsible, before it can happen again.
At the same time, the Pentagon is readying an operation to rescue a key group of prisoners in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp. One man, they find, knows the terrain around the camp better than anyone else they have: a certain former Navy SEAL named John Kelly.
Kelly has his own mission. The Pentagon wants him for theirs. Attempting to juggle the two, Kelly (now code-named Mr. Clark) finds himself confronted by a vast array of enemies, both at home and abroad -- men so skillful that the slightest misstep means death. And the fate of dozens of people, including Kelly himself, rests on his making sure that misstep never happens.
Men aren't born dangerous. They grow dangerous. And the most dangerous of all, Kelly learns, are the ones you least expect. . .
As Clancy takes us through the twists and turns of Without Remorse, he blends the exceptional realism and authenticity that are his hallmarks with intricate plotting, knife-edge suspense and a remarkable cast of characters. This is Clancy at his best -- and there is none better.

Was Bill O'Reilly Wronged by Ex-wife?
During a separation from 2010 until the final divorce decree, Bill O'Reilly, an Anchor of his The O'Reilly Factor show on the Fox News Network, and Maureen McPhilmy, O'Reilly states in court papers that Maureen spent $10,000,000.00 to keep an ongoing relationship with her now husband.
Bill O'Reilly making a name for himself for his "No Spin Zone" on his Fox News Network show airing daily at 8pm EST is also known for his tremendous amount of donations to veterans and other charities. In the last few years, he has also gone on the road with Dennis Miller in a "Who wants to be President" show around America.
"Fox News host Bill O'Reilly is reportedly planning to sue his ex-wife for $10 million.
According to court documents obtained by Gawker, O'Reilly has accused Maureen McPhilmy of misleading him on the terms of their separation agreement.
In the same documents, O'Reilly claims McPhilmy used the money she obtained from their agreement "to finance an existing extra-marital relationship."
Gawker speculates that extramarital relationship is between McPhilmy and her now-husband Jeffrey Gross, who's a detective with the Nassau County Police Department on Long Island."
Trending: Democrats: The Party of Hate, Violence, and Division
Obviously, his opine and quick snapbacks to certain guests did him no good in the courts or at home. There are children involved in this situation, and as always, children are the ones hurt. With the money that could be speculated that O'Reilly makes on Fox news, it would be nothing for him to rack the loss up as a mistake in the decision, and move along for his children, as well as his professional life.
Completing this poll grants you access to updates free of charge. You may opt out at anytime. You also agree to this site's Privacy Policy and Terms of Use.
The outlet noted they started dating after O'Reilly and McPhilmy separated in 2010, but before their divorce was final. O'Reilly reportedly responded to news of their relationship by getting the police department to launch an internal investigation of Gross.
Another filing reveals O'Reilly's attorneys have requested that all future filings related to this suit be kept under wraps. Neither he nor McPhilmy has yet to respond to requests for comment.
So after going through a public divorce, and the humiliation of his children, to try and protect his professional stature, he requests all future filings be suppressed? Sounds like he may be embarrassed by his and his ex-wife's antics.
So the update on the divorce and custody battle is the following:
Bill O'Reilly, 66, has filed a lawsuit against his ex-wife Maureen McPhilmy accusing her of having an affair during their relationship
Claims she used money from divorce to finance 'extra-marital relationship'
O'Reilly is asking that McPhilmy, 50, pay him $10million
McPhilmy is now married to Nassau County Police detective Jeffrey Gross
During the couple's prolonged custody battle it was claimed in testimony that O'Reilly dragged McPhilmny down their stairs by the throat
In March, McPhilmy was granted full residential custody of the pair's two teenage children, a 13-year-old son, and 17-year-old daughter, after a prolonged custody battle.
These papers were filed just one month after McPhilmy was awarded custody of the children following a four-year court battle during which testimony claimed that the couple's daughter had watched O'Reilly dragging her mother down a staircase in their home by her neck.
The Fox News host denied this allegation, calling it '100 per cent false.'
He later added in a statement; 'All allegations against me in these circumstances are 100 percent false. I am going to respect the court-mandated confidentiality put in place to protect my children and will not comment any further.'
As usual, instead of telling the truth upfront, we have to check court records to see that these allegations were strong enough to award custody to the mother. There had to be something to these allegations since we are looking at a very famous, and powerful persona.

Goldman recommends some options trades to profit from weak earnings from two notable companies
Earnings season is ramping up quickly the corner, and there are a few companies that investors should bet on disappointing, according to Goldman Sachs. The investment firm's derivatives research team, led by Vishal Vivek, said in a note to clients last week that investors should consider buying put options on Intel and Boston Beer Company ahead of their upcoming earnings reports. Put options are contracts that make money when a stock falls below a pre-determined strike price. The maximum downside for the trader buying a put option is the upfront cost needed to purchase the contract. Intel's shares have already fallen more than 28% year to date, and Goldman analyst Toshiya Hari has a sell rating on the stock. "Toshiya's recent industry checks point to a weakening PC demand environment, particularly in the low-end consumer and educational segments. This, coupled with his team's work on supply chain inventory, leads Toshiya to expect revenue downside in 2H22 and potentially beyond," the note said. Goldman recommended the Aug. 5 weekly puts with a $37 strike price. Intel, which is scheduled to report results on July 28, closed at $37.21 per share on Tuesday. Intel's shares fell below the $37 mark during Wednesday's session, which would raise the price of the option contract. Investors who want to bet on further downside may want to look at other contracts with lower strike prices. For Boston Beer, analyst Bonnie Herzog downgraded the stock to sell last month , highlighting the declining popularity of Truly hard seltzer. Boston Beer and other beverages made big bets on seltzer in recent years, but are now looking for new product innovations as the fad appears to have waned. "Bonnie believes the growth in Twisted Tea (or other innovations) is unlikely to offset Truly's declines in FY22 and FY23, adding to her bearish view on SAM. She forecasts gross margins of 43.5% for FY22 (vs. 45%-48% guidance)," the note said. Shares of the Samuel Adams parent have dropped more than 37% year to date, and the performance is even worse over a longer time horizon. The stock, which closed at $314.29 per share on Tuesday, briefly traded above $1,300 per share in April 2021. For the trade, Goldman recommended the August put contracts with a $300 strike price. Boston Beer is scheduled to report its earnings on July 21. — CNBC's Michael Bloom contributed to this report.

My very first perfume gift was an abject failure. I must have been 10 at the time, and in anticipation of my great grandfather's birthday I walked into the cosmetics shop and asked for a bottle of their best perfume. Considering that the sales associate had only one type of fragrance on the shelf, it was not a difficult choice for her. It was a glass bottle filled with green liquid labeled "Shipr" (Chypre in Russian.) My great grandfather graciously accepted my gift, but my great grandmother said that this is the type of perfume that alcoholics drink when they do not have enough money for vodka. Needless to say, my great grandfather never wore it and I developed an apprehension about chypres which only my perfumery training erased completely.
These days I am still careful about giving perfume as gifts, but I love the idea of a present that can stimulate the senses. Holiday presents give me an opportunity to indulge in shopping, but they also inspire me to create my own gifts, which are appreciated by my friends and family.
Speaking of home scents, I would like to mention L'Artisan Amber Ball. An intricately carved terracotta ball is filled with amber scented crystals. The perfume is rich and velvety, with accents of smoky woods and vanilla liqueur. L'Artisan suggests refilling the balls every two years, but my three year old ball is still very strongly scented. At $90 for the smallest size, it is certainly a splurge, but it is one of the most popular items sold by L'Artisan around the holidays.
Potpourri does not have to come solely in the form of dusty orange slices, cinnamon sticks and unidentifiable dried leaves. In fact, making your own potpourri is very easy, and it is fresher and more fragrant than anything store bought. Build your mixture as a perfume, including both fresh and sweet, rich notes. Dried orange and mandarin peels retain their fragrance better than lemon and grapefruit (the latter is best to be avoided, because once dried, it tends to acquire a sulfuric note.) Dried lavender, rose and jasmine petals also have a rich color as well as pronounced scent. Cinnamon is a classical potpourri spice, but it is best to be careful about the dosage, as its aroma is sharp and penetrating. Potpourri does not generally rely solely on the odor of its components, but also needs to be scented. Vanilla extract and citrus oils are commonly available and can be used for perfuming your blends. If using oils, it is best to dilute them in alcohol for more even application. If you know how to sew, you can make pretty sachets and fill them with a fragrant mixture. Otherwise, transparent tulle bags are inexpensive, but look great, especially when the potpourri matches the color—blue with lavender, pink with rose buds, golden with jasmine petals, etc.
If your gift recipient is a fragrance lover, a sample set might be a great idea. Many niche companies offer sample sets year round (Frédéric Malle, Ormonde Jaybe, by Kilian, Penhaligon's, Atelier Cologne, etc.), while department stores introduce sample sets for the holidays.
Another option is to buy several elegant vials and create your own sample set.
By luxurious, I do not mean the price, but rather the feeling of pampering and pleasure inspired by certain products. I still remember my pleasure at receiving a Caron swan down powder puff from a dear friend. Every time I use this bright fuschia puff to apply powder in the morning, I smile. Therefore, I have given these puffs as gifts on several occasions. In lieu of perfume, a dry body oil makes for an interesting and luxurious gift. Nars Monoi Body Glow (regular or with a shimmery tint) is excellent, both in terms of its warm jasmine-coconut fragrance and the way it leaves the skin glowing and soft (3.9 oz $59.) There are other options from Chanel, Donna Karan, Fresh, Diptyque and L'Artisan.
While one has to be interested in both perfume and history to appreciate the impressive research contained in Perfume: Joy, Scandal, Sin – A Cultural History of Fragrance from 1750 to the Present by Richard Stamelman, there are perfume themed books that can engage even a person marginally interested in fragrance. Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez's Perfumes: The A-Z Guide is quite entertaining. Tilar J. Mazzeo's The Secret Of Chanel No. 5: The Intimate History Of The World's Most Famous Perfume sheds some light on the iconic fragrance and keeps the reader in suspense as the narrative unfolds. A Scented Palace: The Secret History of Marie Antoinette's Perfumer by Elisabeth De Feydeau is a fascinating glimpse into Marie Antoinette's boudoir. Serious perfume lovers might appreciate Clara Molloy's 22 Perfumers: A Creative Process as well as Jean-Claude Ellena's Perfume: The Alchemy of Scent.
If your gift recipient loves perfume and reads in French, there are many more interesting options: Les Parfums : Histoire, Anthologie, Dictionnaire by Elisabeth de Feydeau, Parfums Mythiques by Marie-Bénédicte Gauthier, Journal d'un parfumeur : Suivi d'un abrégé d'odeurs by Jean-Claude Ellena, La cuisine des Nez by Sabine Chabbert.
Next: Part 2 with more fragrant and delicious suggestions.
Suzanna: What a great post, V., and one filled with exciting gift ideas. I love giving and getting candles. As I write this, I am burning the Goutal Noel candle, the 2011 edition in the striped glass jar. Diptyque makes excellent seasonal edition candles as well.
I love a couple of the Trapp candles for their floral scent, including Bob's Flower Shoppe. A small "Bob's" will scent a couple of rooms!
Victoria: I love the range of shades for Caron's puffs. They are like an assortment of bonbons. Mine is fuschia, and I have purchased lilac, green and cream for gifts at different times. If I had a boudoir with a vanity table, I would love one more puff. And I keep mine in a glass candy bowl with a lid.
Victoria: I love all spice cookies, and I'm planning to try some German gingerbread recipes this month. I also want to make stollen.
Victoria: Caron powder puffs are a nice gift! I'm getting one for my mom. She liked using mine to apply her Meteorites powder.
Victoria: They say that it is best to use candles within a year, but I have 3-4 year old candles that are still good, if not as strong. Just keep them covered and away from radiators or other warm places. Also trim the wick on regular basis and remove any soot that falls into the wax. It ends up contaminating the product and giving your candle an off-odor. Also, when your candle is burning, keep it in such a draft-free spot where it can burn steadily. That way, the wax will melt evenly.
Also, it is best not to let the candle burn for too long, not more than 2h. If the entire pillar of wax melts, it will change the distribution of fragrance oil in the candle, and it will not be as strong the next your burn.

Q: Reliability of p-value in scipy.stats.spearman I am puzzled about the following sentence in the documentation of the function calculating Spearman's rank correlation coefficient in the scipy.stats package:

"The p-values are not entirely reliable but are probably reasonable for datasets larger than 500 or so."

In the beginning, I interpreted the sentence as saying that the p-values are probably reasonable for data sets larger than 500 or so, but not entirely reliable for smaller data sets.
I am puzzled because the main test statistic used in the function assumes a t-distribution. (I'm not sure whether this is the only statistic used, because for certain cases the function switches to mstats_basic.spearmanr seemingly using another test statistic) This seems to be a valid assumption only if the sample size is small as for example mentioned here:
http://www.janda.org/c10/Lectures/topic06/L24-significanceR.htm
My question is, thus, what the justification for the sentence mentioned above could be or whether the sentence is rather meant in a way that could be paraphrased like this:

For datasets larger than 500 or so the p-values are not entirely reliable but are probably reasonable.

Thanks for your help in advance!
Best,
Dominik

A: According to this discussion in the scipy issues tracker, there was insufficient evidence to support the sentence in question and it appeared that the consensus was to remove it, though it's still in the docs at the time of my writing.
So I would disregard the sentence.

On the 16th June, Red Room will host its 100th Stage Time & Wine. This milestone represents over eight years of events hosted by Red Room, an ever-growing community, and an ever-stronger 'culture of listening'. If you have been to Red Room before, it is likely you have felt the special kind of energy that resonates from the walls. If you haven't visited Red Room yet, the 100th Stage Time & Wine may be the perfect opportunity for you to feel it for yourself.
Anything can be shared within the Red Room: voices, stories, poems, songs, instruments, dances, ideas, memories, sounds, murmurs, silence. At the heart of Red Room is a 'culture of listening', so I believe it would most appropriate if we share the words of others in this article. I have rummaged in the Red Room archives and unearthed memories, personal experiences and voices from ninety-nine Stage Time & Wines.
Red Room was born from words. It all began with a conversation between Ayesha Mehta and Ping Chu when a fortuitous rainshower caused their paths to cross in Dulan, Taidung in 2009. This conversation planted a seed, which released its roots into the Taipei artistic community and began uniting individuals with a common passion.
This is the vision that Ayesha shared with Ping. Her dream of creating a 'listening space' was the building block upon which Red Room could grow. Ayesha's seedling of an idea sparked an interest and inspired others. Before long, a group of friends gathered to plan an event where participants could express themselves freely and listen deeply to each other. Ayesha's brother, Manav, came up with the name 'Stage Time & Wine'.
The first Stage Time & Wine took place in the Learning Kitchen. As Roma Mehta described it, the friends "put things together"; they experimented with the space, hung up shawls as stage curtains, created a 'bar' through each sharing what they had, and then hoped people would come along to enjoy the evening. Nobody could have predicted that the event would take off in the way it did.
Words of Red Roomers: what does Red Room mean to you?
Like a pebble thrown into a pond, Red Room has stirred up a rippling effect across the Taipei artistic community. Conversations happen in the Red Room. We feed off each others' energy and inspire one another to take our ambitions further. We collaborate, form bands, put on plays, create art together.
What surprises will the 100th Stage Time & Wine have instore for us? The Red Room team have an ambitious aim to involve 100 performers for the 100th gathering… and there will surely be 100 glasses of wine to accompany! Gather with us and share this precious moment, cherish the open platform for expression, and add your voice to the well of words.

Q: Does "put" overwrite existing values? New to hashtables with a simple question.  For some reason googling hasn't gotten me a straight answer.  Say I've got an <int,String> hashtable set up:
myHashtable.put(1,"bird");
myHashtable.put(2,"iguana");

and I want to change "bird" to "fish" (and leave the index the same).  Can I just do a simple put, or do I need to delete the entry, or what?

A: Yes.
If a mapping to the specified key already exists, the old value will be replaced (and returned). See Hashtable.put().
For multi-threaded environment, I'd recommend ConcurrentHashMap or another ConcurrentMap implementation. Though Hashtable is synchronized, there are more sophisticated implementations available now for concurrent mapping, such as Guava's MapMaker and CacheBuilder.
Also keep in mind the Map is going to have the type parameters <Integer, String> since primitive type parameters aren't supported.

A: hmmm ,just need add a line
myHashtable.put(1,"fish");
to see what's amazing happens
see this links:http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Hashtable.html#put(K, V)
Returns:
the previous value of the specified key in this hashtable, or null if it did not have one

Joel McHale, Amanda Brugel & Robert Maillet Join Kevin James In 'Becky' Thriller
Joel McHale, The Handmaid's Tale actress Amanda Brugel, and Robert Maillet (Sherlock Holmes, Pacific Rim**) have been added to the cast of** Becky**, an action-thriller which is being helmed by** Bushwick directors Jonathan Milott and Cary Murnion. Kevin James was previously announced as the villain of the film while Lulu Wilson (Annabelle: Creation, The Haunting of Hill House**) will take on the titular role.**
Jordan Yale Levine, Jordan Beckerman and Russ Posternak of Yale Productions are producing the pic alongside Raphael Margules and J.D. Lifshitz of BoulderLight Pictures.
It centers around a spunky, rebellious 14-year-old Becky as she is brought to a weekend getaway at a lake house by her father Jeff (McHale) in an effort to try to reconnect after her mother's death. The trip immediately takes a turn for the worse when a group of convicts on the run, led by the merciless Dominick (James), suddenly invade the lake house. Becky, not daddy's little girl anymore, decides to take matters into her own hands in this high-octane action-thriller described as John Wick with a 14-year-old girl.
Highland Film Group is handling international sales and will be presenting at upcoming Toronto International Film Festival. UTA Independent Film Group is overseeing domestic rights.
McHale is best known for his role in the NBC sitcom Community, as well as the host E!'s The Soup (which earned him an Emmy nom) and Netflix's The Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale. He currently serves as the host of ABC's revival of the game show Card Sharks.
Brugel, who also appeared in the Brie Larson-starrer Room, can next be seen in TBS's upcoming Snowpiercer series. Maillet's other credits include Fox's Deadpool 2 and the Starz series American Gods.
McHale is repped by UTA and CAA; Brugel by Parent Management and LINK Entertainment; Maillet by The Characters Talent Agency.


On March 8, 2016 there will be a kick-off event in Brussels of all COSME projects which started on January 1, 2016. Next to project presentations, there will be information sessions on the COSME programme, its funding and the legal framework.
Morover, the 24 'European Strategic Cluster Partnerships – Going International' as a result of the COSME call 'Cluster Go International' selected by the European Commission will be presented at a partnering event. The partnerships are represented by 15 projects co-funded by the European Commission, resulting from the call 'Cluster Go International' (COS-CLUSTER-2014-3-03), including the Silicon Europe Worldwide project and by 9 additional 'voluntary' partnerships that were on the reserve list of the call and have accepted to keep working on the joint cooperation agenda without direct co-funding from the Commission.

Q: Alert Dialogue is not showing on popup item click. Any solution? Here is my PopupMenuButton

                                ])

And this is my Dilaogue function
Future<void> _showMyDialog() async {
    return showDialog<void>(
      context: context,
      barrierDismissible: false, // user must tap button!
      builder: (BuildContext context) {
        return AlertDialog(
          title: const Text('AlertDialog Title'),
          content: SingleChildScrollView(
            child: ListBody(
              children: const <Widget>[
                Text('This is a demo alert dialog.'),
                Text('Would you like to approve of this message?'),
              ],
            ),
          ),
          actions: <Widget>[
            TextButton(
              child: const Text('Approve'),
              onPressed: () {
                Navigator.of(context).pop();
              },
            ),
          ],
        );
      },
    );
  }

A: onTap of PopupMenuItem call Navigator.pop after tapping on any item on PopupMenuButton to close it.
 void handleTap() {
    widget.onTap?.call();

    Navigator.pop<T>(context, widget.value);
  }

When you tap the item it shows _showMyDialog()  but close it immediately because of Navigator.pop called and that's why you can find PopupMenuItem is open after tap.
Simply Navigator.pop is closing the showDialog instead of PopupMenuButton's items. We can provide some delay to close the PopupMenuItem  then can call _showMyDialog();
PopupMenuItem(
  onTap: () {
    Future.delayed(Duration.zero).then((value) {
      _showMyDialog();
    });
  },

A: Let's say that if you've declared function as _showMyDialogue(), then you should use _showMyDialogue() when calling that function. In your case, you Ignored "_" while calling it. That's the problem.

LIVE: Main Street, Bray closed AGAIN after fire in takeaway overnight
Gardai and Dublin Fire Brigade are at the scene
Cormac O'SheaDeputy Editor
Emergency services dealing with another fire on Bray's Main Street
Bray's busiest street is closed for the second time in less than a week after another fire this morning.
Peter's takeaway on Main Street was gutted after a fire that broke out at 5:30am this morning.
Main Street is currently shut as gardai and Dublin Fire Brigade deal with the incident.
Pictures from Bray show considerable damage to the business and outside the building.
Wicklow fire service tweeted: "Fire on Main Street Bray this morning at 5.30am, fire extinguished by firefighters in breathing apparatus, building heavily smoke-logged."

Q: Not able to understand how to define a List of List in java I want to understand the difference between the two definitions and why the correct one is correct and the wrong is wrong.
The one showing me the compile-error
List<List<Integer>> arr2 = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();

The error it gave me :
 try2.java:8: error: incompatible types: ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> cannot be
converted to List<List<Integer>>
                List<List<Integer>> arr2 = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();

The one which is working:
List<ArrayList<Integer>> arr = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();

NOTE:
I understand why the below one works:
List<Integer> arr = new ArrayList<Integer>();

Edit-1:
Now i just want to understand what is wrong with List<List<Integer>> arr2 = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();

A: You don't need any of that:
List<List<Whatever>> items = new ArrayList<>();

Done.
The important thing to understand: you can not create those "inner" lists. You just create a List (that has type "list of lists"). Later on, you would do:
List<Whatever> innerItems = new ArrayList<>();
items.add(innerItems);

for example. The reason is: collections are not arrays. Java allows you to write down expressions that create a full blown 2-dim array. But collections don't have that concept of multiple dimensions (implementation-wise)!
One part of that is the fact that generics are actually implemented using type erasure. This means: the actual list implementation doesn't know anything about the generic type you used in your source code. It is only dealing with instances of Object. In that sense, it is not possible that the implementation "knows" that the new List is supposed to contain List<Whatever>.

A: You could use the diamond operator, as GhostCat suggested, and let the compiler worry about the correct type.
But if you want to understand what the correct type should be, use:
List<List<Integer>> arr2 = new ArrayList<List<Integer>>();

You are instantiating a List of something (let's forget for a second that something happens to be a List<Integer>), so you need to create an instance of a class that implements the List interface - ArrayList in this case. So you create an instance of ArrayList of something.
The element type (my so called "something") - List<Integer> in your example - remains unchanged.
Now, when you want to add an element to your List, you need to create an instance of a class that implements List<Integer>:
List<Integer> inner = new ArrayList<Integer>();
arr2.add(inner);

Melissa McCarthy & Director Ben Falcone On Choosing HBO Max Bow Instead Of WB Xmas Release For 'Superintelligence'

Sony Pictures Classics Preempts US Rights To Anthony Hopkins & Olivia Colman Sundance Hot Title 'The Father'
EXCLUSIVE: In a move that could become more common as major studios lean in heavily toward their streaming launches, the Ben Falcone-directed Melissa McCarthy-starrer Superintelligence has exited its December 20 theatrical release date to instead become the first Warner Bros Pictures Group film to premiere on HBO Max.
This comes before an HBO Max presentation on October 29 where it is expected that other projects might become part of a streamer launch slate that now will have Superintelligence; the Steven Soderbergh-directed Meryl Streep-starrer Let Them All Talk; the Greg Berlanti-produced YA novel adaptation Unpregnant; and sooner or later Bad Education, the Hugh Jackman/Allison Janney-starrer bought at Toronto for north of $17 million to bow on HBO. The original programming will be part of a service that launches with WarnerMedia's own library titles including Friends and The Big Bang Theory and third-party acquisitions including Sesame Street.
HBO Max Acquires U.S. Streaming Rights To Studio Ghibli Library
Amid the high-stakes battle for subscription streaming service launches by WarnerMedia, Disney, Comcast and Apple to go along with Netflix and Amazon, it isn't hard to see how the prospect of being among the first marquee titles on HBO Max is enticing. Especially when mid-budget comedies and dramas are plagued by the optics of eight-figure P&A spends and heavy scrutiny on opening-weekend box office grosses. That doesn't exist if you are launching on an OTT to a wide audience.
McCarthy and Falcone, long married and longtime frequent creative collaborators — they are now making their first Netflix film, Thunder Force — said the decision to move out of theaters and onto HBO Max was theirs, and that it wasn't imposed on them by WarnerMedia, Warner Bros or New Line, which developed the comedy and shepherded the film through production.
"It was actually Ben's idea, it came from the filmmaker himself," McCarthy told Deadline. "We had a release date, a full marketing plan, and I had all my press lined up. We were really ready to go. When the announcement came that HBO Max was really happening, Ben had this idea. And we thought, is this better? Different doesn't mean worse, and how are we watching films ourselves? To us, each movie is near and dear to our hearts. You just want people to see it and love it and you want them to feel good. Superintelligence at its core is, love wins, and people matter. I want that to get to as many people as it can. We need that today, and this seemed like the best way to do it. So no, [this wasn't imposed on us]. We were ready to go the other way, and we decided to make the detour."
When I brought up the perilous track many theatrical releases face these days, Falcone acknowledged it is something a filmmaker thinks about.
"I pride myself on living a fear-based life, and that won't stop," Falcone joked. "I don't exactly remember the question, but I wanted to make that clear to you, and to everyone. Honestly, you can release a mid-budget movie, and if we'd stayed in the theaters, we could have done incredibly well. There still are those examples of movies like this one that do. But for this movie, at this time, we felt like it was the best way to go. The PG rating, the fact they are starting this thing. All these streaming services are starting, and here, we are up there with Sesame Street, and Meryl Streep and JJ Abrams and Hugh Jackman and Jordan Peele. There are cool people doing this. So following my fear-based mentality, I thought it was the best move."
McCarthy and Falcone also felt a thematic fit as the film explores relationships in the backdrop of technological evolution. McCarthy's character finds herself getting messages from her TV, phone and microwave and what she doesn't realize is she has been selected for observation by the world's first superintelligence, a form of artificial intelligence that is contemplating taking over the world. Steve Mallory wrote the script, James Corden voices the A.I., and Bobby Cannavale is playing her love interest.
"We made the film for New Line and Warner Bros, and there are different challenges in the way people watch films, how and where they see them on different platforms," McCarthy said. "We were all geared up to open theatrically, and Ben was the one who said, this would be better for HBO Max. What a way to reach a massive amount of people, and to be put in pretty amazing company. It seemed like a win-win. We have two young kids, and we thought about how we watch movies. Superintelligence is PG, and we thought about how we watch these movies with our kids. We still go to the theater, and we love going to the theater. I would cry if that ever went away. But we watch a lot of movies at home, and a lot of people do. This just seemed like an exciting new way to get it in front of a lot of people."
The move pushes the release of the film until sometime in the spring, and though a specific date hasn't been decided, the couple is really warming to the platform.
"I urge you and all your friends to immediately subscribe to HBO Max," Falcone said.
Added McCarthy: "Just give us your credit card, Mike, and we'd be happy to process it for you. And maybe give us your bank account numbers, too."

by Susan Hamburger | Parkinson's disease Commentary
Our life with Parkinson's Disease began in 1980. I'll always remember because it had been the most stressful year of Stan's life. He was commuting from the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore for another round of graduate school. At the age of 45 he was in an Epidemiology training program with other students most of whom were young physicians right out of medical school or right after their residency. Stan found returning to school to be very stressful and frankly difficult after so many years out of his dental training. He did well but I think that he paid a price. I know that PD is not caused by stress, but I feel strongly that it can exacerbate the symptoms in a person who is predisposed genetically or by some type of exposure to whatever nasty thing they determine is killing the dopamine cells.
Stan began experiencing some difficulty writing, and was also exhausted and depressed. I strongly urged him to go to a doctor, where he was given medication for depression. I thought that Stan's problems were due to the difficult year he was experiencing. I just didn't know what I could do to help him except provide a lot of encouragement and love. He began to have mild tremors in his right hand when it was still. Thinking it was related to the anti-depressant medication he was taking at the time, we sought a consultation from a neurologist, who told Stan he had Parkinson's disease.
What is Parkinson's Disease? I had heard of it but really did not know a lot except that it involved significant shaking and was neurologically debilitating. My limited knowledge changed very quickly because the first thing I did was go to some of Stans' and the librarys' medical books and devour everything I could read about it. It's the best way that I know of to deal with my own fears and anxiety and I also wanted to be able to help him in dealing with the diagnosis. Stan knew more about it than I did and was clearly getting anxious and worried about the future.
I often think I was the right type of person to deal with this kind of news in the beginning – if there is such a person. I have usually been able to take things in stride, deal with them in the best way that I could, and then handle the consequences- hopefully good, but not always. I was not a 'worrier'. What's the saying – if life gives you lemons, make lemonade? These traits helped both of us the first few years after Stan's diagnosis. I was able to listen to him without getting upset and tell him constantly that we would deal with the changes when and if they happened, that I was not going to abandon him, and that I loved him with or without Parkinson's. I think that helped keep his anxiety in check for a long time and we just continued leading our life in the same way we had done since we had been married. We worked, traveled as often as we could, enjoyed good food and wine, attended concerts, and maintained our friendships. Things were good in spite of the slowly increasing symptoms and declining physical functioning.
Was I in denial? Maybe, but I'm not sure. Maybe denial is okay if it helps us deal with something that is psychologically overwhelming and allows us to absorb the new reality a little at a time. It also could have been that I did not want to focus on something I had no control over when I really was not sure what the course of his PD would be. I knew that the disease could be very different with different people and I was determined not to let a disease destroy our life or our relationship.

It is targeted to the people who have no prior knowledge on Java and hadoop.
The course is 19.5 hours of videos that will help you to learn the basics of Java and hadoop pretty well.
It is recommended to maintain a notebook and make your notes while going through the session as it helps you better organize your learning.
We have just included only the installation documents and nothing else so that you keep your notebook and maintain everything.This may look little difficult but will give you a lot of confidence once you have a good notes on your own.
We will start with hadoop 1.x and then later move to hadoop 2 which I would be adding soon.
Java is a never ending ocean,so we have tried our best to give you some initiate chapters that can help you to learn some bit of it and then use them in your hadoop map-reduce program.


The billionaire former owner of Formula One says he cannot see why "good-looking" women on start lines are offensive.
The former boss of Formula One has criticised the decision by its new owners to scrap grid girls.
Bernie Ecclestone says he cannot see why a "good-looking" woman standing next to a driver at the start of a race could be "offensive".
The 87-year-old tycoon said it was a sign the UK was becoming "prudish".
It came after Liberty Media, the sport's organiser, said the custom of using women on start lines was "clearly... at odds with modern day societal norms".
The women are often seen carrying the drivers' standards which indicate their race numbers and their location on the starting line.
They also often line the route that the top three drivers take as they head to the podium at the end of a race.
Ecclestone told Sky News: "These girls did nothing harmful to anyone.
"We might as well say we do not want people going to fashion shows. They were smartly dressed.
"We have people saying it was going in darts, but that's a different type of sport, if you call it a sport. I thought people enjoyed seeing the girls and they are necessary really.
"When the team driver wants to get on the grid, it is much easier for them to know their place, where they are going to stop than hope they get it right and hope the teams were helping.
"It took a lot of time and stress from the teams."
He also said, assuming it did objectify women, he didn't "remember any of the girls being forced to do it".
He went on to deny that grid girls would be wearing shorter skirts than they would do in any other situation.
Ecclestone, who ran F1 for more than three decades, told The Sun earlier: "The country at the moment is getting a bit prudish.
"You should be allowed to have grid girls because the drivers like them, the audience like them and no one cares. These girls were... part of the spectacle.
"I can't see how a good-looking girl standing with a driver and a number in front of a Formula One car can be offensive to anybody."
It is not the first time Mr Ecclestone, who became a billionaire as a result of his investment in the sport, has made statements about the participation of women in F1.
No one is saying women shouldn't be allowed to do whatever they want career wise. Literally no one. It is the *concept* of grid girls and what it represents that is the issue. And if you truly don't understand why it is an issue then, quite frankly, yikes.
In 2016, he told an advertising conference that female drivers would "not be taken seriously" in Formula One and they are "not physically" able to drive cars that fast.
Several so-called grid girls have leaped to the defence of those who stand to lose their jobs as a result of the move.
Lauren-Jade Pope, a "grid girl and promo model", tweeted: "Because of these feminists, they've have cost us our jobs! I have been a grid girl for 8 years and I have Never felt uncomfortable! I love my job, if I didn't I wouldn't do it! Noone forces us to do this! This is our choice!"
Rebecca Cooper, another grid girl, said on Twitter: "If we don't do something to stop this where will it end? No grid girls, no cheerleaders, female singers being told what to wear on stage, no models in magazines?! I'll fight for my right to choose what I wear, where I work and to keep a job I love. I'll #fightformyrighttochoose".
The organisers of some of darts' biggest tournaments, the Professional Darts Corporation, also recently decided to stop using walk-on girls.
A Sky News online poll asking people if they thought walk-on girls should be banned from all sports found 17% in favour and 83% against, after nearly 13,000 votes.

Home Hardware Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Rumored To Rock 8GB RAM And Capacious 512GB Storage
Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Rumored To Rock 8GB RAM And Capacious 512GB Storage
We have an official launch date for Samsung's upcoming Galaxy Note 9 flagship: August 9th. It's on that date that the smartphone will be revealed to all at a Galaxy UNPACKED event in Brooklyn, New York. Today, however, fresh details about the device are starting to float to the surface.
We already know that the Galaxy Note 9 will feature Samsung's own Exynos 9810 processor for global markets, while Qualcomm's Snapdragon 845 will in use for U.S. and Chinese markets. It's now understood that base phones will come with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Given the price that the Galaxy Note 9 will likely command, the increase in base storage is greatly appreciated.
However, we're told that moving up to the 256GB storage option will result in an increase to 8GB for the RAM. In addition, there will be a rang-topping SKU with 8GB of RAM and a massive 512GB of internal storage. On the camera front, the dual arrangement will remain on the rear of the smartphone and will include the addition of the variable aperture lens mechanism found on the Galaxy S9 family. As the leaked photos have shown, the fingerprint reader has been repositioned from beside the rear cameras to below them.
Other features that we know are on deck for the Galaxy Note 9 are a 4,000 mAh battery, which is a significant increase from the 3,300 mAh battery on the Galaxy Note 8. We're also expecting that Samsung will make the biggest change to the S Pen since the Galaxy Note's inception with Bluetooth support. What that means for users remains to be seen, but the S Pen will be a primary focus of Samsung's Galaxy UNPACKED event.
The smartphone has already made a trip to the FCC with the designation SM-N960F. For reference, the Galaxy Note 8 was labeled SM-N950F. As for the current generation Galaxy Note 8, Samsung has reportedly already stopping shipping the smartphone to its retail partners and will not continue its production once the Galaxy Note 9 arrives.

Having taken early retirement from the John Lewis Partnership in January 2014 where I worked for nearly 43 years as a retail manager, my photography hobby has developed into a small business, with the support of many close friends.
I'm also very proud to have had a two page spread of my photographs from the FBH in Central Horse News for Jan/Feb 2019. To cap it all off, my daughter Claire and our Horse, Ace featured on the Front cover.
Please look through the galleries that have been created in the last couple of years by clicking on the various links. Galleries are only visable for two years, if you wish to see photographs before this, please contact me.
Acclaimed photographer – I've been taking photographs for The Farmers Bloodhounds for the last 8 years. Since 2014, I've been privilidged to have taken photographs for the Whitfield Charity Horse Shows, Bicester Riding Club, Cherwell Valley Riding Club, Grafton Hunt Pony Club, Milton Keynes Riding Club, Whaddon Chase Pony Club, Area 5 Side Saddle association, Wheatley Summer Show, Various Charity Balls and have completed numerous private photoshoots. Recently, I've had associations with Onley Equestrian Complex and Moulton College. In addition, I freelance for up to six other photographers that attend major equestrian events.
QUALITY CHECKED – All photographs are checked before being placed on the website or sent out to customers, to ensure all blurred ones are removed. The photographs are cropped to their best advantage and the colour enhanced.
PAYMENT – Photographs can be ordered and paid for online, through Paypal alternatively, orders can be placed by emailing me. I will provide my bank details for a (BACS) internet balance transfer. The photographs are extremely good value considering what you can expect to pay elsewhere.

Q: scheduling and access control to serial port in multi thread C program Serial port open to the public and a thread always works with the port.
One or more high priority thread are created at run-time witch without Conflict with the main thread should work with the port and destroy when completed.
how can i schedule these threads and manage access to serial port?
thanks.

A: In case you are creating many threads and you always want only one thread to work with the serial port (one thread at a time), you can manage it's access through the use of semaphores (so that they do not collide).
However the scheduling algorithm which you want to use purely depends on your need. When you are creating more than one thread I am sure you must be using pthread_create API which has more flexibility to set your attributes (such as priority) in it's second parameter. Please use that parameter to set you priority levels. You can schedule them by taking their priorities into consideration or you can even use a time slice technique.
When analyzing your question it looks like you are working on some development board. In case it is an RTOS code, you can try implementing the preemption mechanism along with semaphores.


The event focus is unique artisan panettoni, free of preservatives and manufactured without semi-finished products that facilitate their production.
The public, during these two days can taste, meet the pastry chefs, discover all their secrets and buy panettoni, at the same price, everything associated with sweet and sparkling wines that match perfectly whit these magnificent leavened sweets.
Molino Dallagiovanna, since several years sponsor of this event, during the two days well sell its flours, the traditional line for pastry Le dolcissime and the new born: the multipurpose line Uniqua.
We wait for you on November 14th and 15th in Naples, Grand Hotel Parker's, C.so Vittorio Emanuele 135.

Q: Query complaining about uniqueness violation when I know the record is unique I am working on an application and adding usernames. So far, we have been relying on email only.
I am writing a query to generate usernames based on first and last names. When I run the query, I get an error about a uniqueness violation on the username column. However, when checking the record it complains about, I find that it is definitely unique. What am I missing?
The query:
WITH u2 AS (SELECT id, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY first_name, last_name ORDER BY id ASC) AS row, first_name, last_name FROM users)
UPDATE users
  SET username = COALESCE(left(trim(u2.first_name),1), '')||COALESCE(replace(trim(u2.last_name), ' ', '_'), '')||(CASE WHEN u2.row > 1 THEN u2.row::varchar ELSE '' END)
  FROM u2
  WHERE users.id = u2.id;

A: The row number should be calculated on username, not on the pair (first_name, last_name) because of users which have the same last name and first names starting with the same letters, e.g.:
INSERT INTO users (first_name, last_name) VALUES
    ('John', 'Smith'),
    ('Jerry', 'Smith');

So the query should look like this:
WITH u1 AS (
    SELECT
        id,
        COALESCE(left(trim(first_name),1), '') ||
        COALESCE(replace(trim(last_name), ' ', '_'), '') as new_username
    FROM users
    ),
u2 AS (
    SELECT
        id,
        new_username,
        ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY new_username ORDER BY id) AS row
    FROM u1
    )
UPDATE users u
    SET username = new_username ||
        CASE WHEN u2.row > 1 THEN u2.row::varchar ELSE '' END
    FROM u2
    WHERE u.id = u2.id

A: I think you need a WHERE condition in that update. (Not 100% sure on Postgres syntax)
WITH u2 AS
  ( SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER
             ( PARTITION BY first_name, last_name
                   ORDER BY id ASC
             ) AS row,
           first_name,
           last_name
      FROM users
  )
UPDATE users
  SET username = COALESCE(left(trim(u2.first_name),1), '')||COALESCE(replace(trim(u2.last_name), ' ', '_'), '')||(CASE WHEN u2.row > 1 THEN u2.row::varchar ELSE '' END)
  FROM u2
 WHERE first_name = u2.first_name
   AND last_name = u2.last_name;


Participating markets ; what is progress?
On August 19th (Saturday) and the 20th (Sunday) , Hsieying Illustration debuted her first market in The boulevard,Publika. Despite being nervous in the beginning of the event, I seem to handle myself well. Time passed without me knowing when is lunch. Nervousness, excitement, exhilarating times had occupied around my mind to think otherwise.
Hats off to the vendors who has been in this market scene for a long time. Being in my booth for more than 10 hours is very tiring.
What I've learned from this market is 'progress'.
Self reflection on how far I have come from 'just a hobby' into a commitment I've kept as a career I'm currently pursuing. Progress on self confidence. I no longer feel as afraid of other comments regarding my paintings. A tad proud of them to show around but mindful to be humble always. Sincerity. I am beyond humbled to have people come to me and they tell me how they liked my works. How words can just make my day so easily I wonder.
Participating markets is always a good experience, rather a great fuel for my favourite hobby - people watching. To all my friends who came by for a visit - Thank you. Lyn, Elaine and Ming, Without you ladies I don't think I ever can kept my composure well. To new vendor friends, Ling, audrey, kahyan, sue ann ; it's been a great pleasure to have great conversations within the weekend. And to all the people who bought a print or two, you have a piece of my life in there. Not just a painting. But my life on a painting.
Day 2 on the Artforgrabs event.
