The young real estate investor buys three houses at 25
By drbyosIn WorldPosted January 16, 2020 0 Comment(s)
A former dishwasher who started saving from scratch managed to buy his first house with only 21 years, and only four years later, he is now looking for his fourth property.
Riyaan Mohamed, from Christchurch in New Zealand, emigrated to the country for the first time from India with his family when he was 13 years old.
He dropped out of high school at age 18 and found a job as a part-time restaurant dishwasher to make ends meet, but he always focused on creating a property portfolio someday.
For several years he saved as much as he could and finally managed to save a deposit of $ NZ70,000 ($ A67,130) for his first house in Hornby in Christchurch, worth $ NZ350,000 ($ A335,651), just twenty-one)
It was a feat that was even more impressive since it essentially started "with nothing."
"I didn't have any financial help from my parents to buy the first house," he told news.com.au.
"They really wanted me to study again, while I wanted to earn money and move on in life.
"Saving working as a dishwasher was hard and long … I often worked well for 40 hours and spent as little as possible."
He said he "barely took a vacation" and, as a result, he earned lump sums in the form of annual vacation payments when he moved out of work, first in retail at a health supplement store and then managed the opening of a new store in Christchurch.
He soon got hooked on real estate and set out to grow his portfolio. Today, it is located in three properties for a combined total value of $ A1.15 million, and Mohamed said he planned to buy several more properties this year, and essentially "retire" in the next 10 years or so.
And although his real estate trip has been challenging, he said anyone could do it if they worked hard enough.
"My ultimate goal is to have enough passive income from my properties (so that) I am no longer tied to jobs from 9 to 5 and can spend more time with my family," he told news.com.au.
"I feel I can do this when I am 35 years old or before.
"The only thing I was passionate about was starting a property portfolio and now my main goal is to make it grow."
In January 2019, he and his partner saved a deposit of $ NZ160,000 ($ A153,440) and bought a second property in the city: a three-bedroom house worth $ NZ484,000 ($ A464,157 ).
In December, they refinanced and bought a third one-bedroom townhouse in Christchurch CBD for $ NZ410,000 ($ A393,191) using a deposit of $ NZ41,000 ($ A39,319). The couple rents the house, with that income destined for the mortgage.
Now, the 25-year-old is focused on buying his fourth property in the coming months, with the goal of further increasing his portfolio.
His 2020 plan is to buy up to three more properties.

We Are a Team of
Who, like you, were concerned about the animosity, stress, and out of
control costs of the traditional divorce process. SnapDivorce® was created for
couples who want to divorce amicably with expert guidance from neutral
divorce professionals.
Creating an Alternative
to Traditional Divorce
SnapDivorce® was originally conceived by divorce attorney Kevin Handy while sitting in a courtroom waiting for a judge to hear a case that should never have ended up there. Mr. Handy's client, Robert, was divorcing his wife of 30 years. Both Robert and has wife earned six-figure salaries. Both had sizable retirement accounts. At the outset of the case Mr. Handy had proposed a 50-50 division of assets that was fair and logical. It was rejected by his wife and her attorney. Instead, she fought with acrimony for more than 50%, even though Mr. Handy knew the court would eventually rule against her. But that morning—when the court, in fact, did rule against her—Mr. Handy felt no sense of victory.
The couple had wasted over a year of their precious time fighting. And they had wasted $60,000 of their marital money. That's a college education. The down payment on a new house. A trip around the world, for two. Instead, the sum vaporized in the brutal arena of traditional divorce litigation, all to reach what Mr. Handy knew was the obvious and pre-determined outcome of the case. Most upsettingly to Mr. Handy, none of this was usual in divorce litigation.

Streamlining the Process With Fair and Professional Results
Streamlining the Process
With Fair and Professional
If a couple is going to divorce anyway, he thought, why not get it over efficiently and at a reasonable cost? The level of waste in the system is absurd, and unnecessary. Mr. Handy was raised in a large family in a middle-class suburb outside Philadelphia. His father always taught him to spend his time and money wisely, and the behavior stuck, from the first job through the end of law school and into private practice. So that morning in divorce court, Mr. Handy had seen about as much as he could take of couples blowing everything for the sake of revenge.
It was when Mr. Handy thought, "if I was going through a divorce, how would I want to get it resolved?" that the idea for SnapDivorce® was born – a streamlined process that uses neutral divorce professionals to craft a fair professional result, eliminates the need for expensive attorneys, and keeps the parties out of the court, all for a reasonable flat fee.
Mr. Handy, along with his like-minded colleagues and other divorce professionals, worked to design SnapDivorce® for couples that don't want to waste money or slug it out. Couples who want to retain control over a process that can be fair and simple.
is Guided Divorce
You retain more control through this process than you would retain through any other path to divorce. The attorney-mediators have years of experience, and they will show you how to proceed without destroying your own cause.
Our mission at SnapDivorce® is to make divorce as simple and amicable as possible for couples by delivering full-service professional guidance and results from start to finish at a reasonable cost.
All of our attorney-mediators and professionals are dedicated to this mission and are continuously looking for ways to improve the process to make it as simple and stress-free as possible for you, our customers.
We Are Committed to You.
Make the Entire Divorce Process as Simple as Possible for Our Customers
Divorce is complicated, even for simple cases. Our goal is to make the process as simple as possible for couples.
Provide Local Professional Guidance
Divorce and custody is an inherently local practice, based on complex jurisdiction-specific rules and unwritten customs. That's why all of our mediators and arbitrators are real local divorce professionals. We are not a distant do-it-yourself website or lawyer referral service.
Encourage Fair Settlements and Deliver Clear and Practical Agreements
Couples in traditional mediation frequently end up with unfair or unworkable settlements due to unknowledgeable mediators or 1970s-style free form mediation. Our professionals provide modern guidance based on actual family law litigation experience, and we deliver comprehensive and clearly written agreements to avoid future disputes.
Keep Our Clients Informed Every Step of the Way
We understand that our clients want to know what is going on with their case. That's why we'll keep you up-to-date every step of the way.
Help Couples Save Money by Avoiding Litigation
Saving money is important to securing your future. Our goal is the help couples avoid wasting tens of thousands of dollars on attorney's fees on traditional divorce litigation, so they can invest in their future.


Mountains, rivers, winding roads and one lane bridges are a few of the things we seen in Virginia.
It was a beautiful state. We found a Blackberry Farm, quaint yarn shop, Historic Grist Mill, and other historic sites.
We couldn't resist taking pictures of a sheep farm we found along the way.
It was the end of the season but the girls managed to pick a few pints.
They were very close to the road. Delaney was convinced they wanted their picture taken.
The sheep got pretty noisy when we pulled to the roadside to take pictures. I think they thought we were there to open the gate and let them out to pasture. A lot of the pastures were hilly. Some were really steep.
This was a Historic Grist Mill. They sold all types of flours and mixes. We purchased some Buckwheat pound cake mix and Hush Puppy Mix.

Q: Extract data from pandas dataframe columns with duplicate names I have a dataframe which has duplicate column names:
Accepted    Accepted    Accepted    Reject    Accepted    Reject
ABC         IJK         JKL         XYJ       LMN         UIO
BCD         PQR         EFG         YVG       GHIJ        PLK

...and want to convert it into two dataframes; one only of "Accepted" columns and other for "Reject" Columns:
df1:
Accepted    Accepted    Accepted    Accepted
ABC         IJK         JKL         LMN
BCD         PQR         EFG         GHIJ

df2:
Reject    Reject
XYJ       UIO
YVG       PLK

Tried:
df1=df["Accepted"]
df2=df["Reject"]

... but this only gives the first column matching this name.

A: If select one column with same name are selected all columns with same name in DataFrame:
df1 = df['Accepted']
df2 = df['Reject']

Then is possible deduplicate columns:
df1.columns = [f'{x}_{i}' for i, x in enumerate(df1.columns, 1)]
df2.columns = [f'{x}_{i}' for i, x in enumerate(df2.columns, 1)]

EDIT: If get only first column name it means there are not duplicated columns names, so is possible use DataFrame.filter:
df1 = df.filter(like='Accepted')
df2 = df.filter(like='Reject')

A: You can also use this
df1 = df.loc[:,df.columns.isin(['accepted'])]

OR
df2 = df.loc[:,df.columns.isin(['rejected'])]

A: It's not recommended to have duplicate column names, but anyway:
df1 = df.loc[:, df.columns.get_loc('Accepted')]

  Accepted Accepted Accepted Accepted
0      ABC      IJK      JKL      LMN
1      BCD      PQR      EFG     GHIJ

df2 = df.loc[:, df.columns.get_loc('Reject')]

A: IMO give the same name to columns is not a good practice. use unique names for every column. it doesn't matter if you put a number or add a unique character into the name. just make it unique
Solution from me, rename the column first
df.columns = ['Accepted1','Accepted2','Accepted3','Reject1','Accepted4','Reject2']
df1 = df[['Accepted1','Accepted2','Accepted3','Accepted4']]
df2 = df[['Reject1','Reject2']]

PHOTOS: Cincinnati Bell Connector Gives 50,000 Rides Opening Weekend
Over 50,000 rides were given on the Cincinnati Bell Connector during its grand opening weekend.

10 Comments on PHOTOS: Cincinnati Bell Connector Gives 50,000 Rides Opening Weekend
All five streetcars were in service and full of riders all weekend.
The much-awaited Cincinnati Bell Connector opened to the public on Friday, September 9, and gave over 50,000 rides during its grand opening three-day weekend.
Councilwoman Amy Murray, who serves as Chair of the Major Transportation and Regional Cooperation Committee, hosted the grand opening ceremony at Washington Park. In addition to Murray, there were 12 speakers including current and former politicians, transit officials, and business leaders. Many of the speakers thanked the streetcar supporters who kept the project going over the years as it faced obstacle after obstacle. Several used the opportunity to call for an expansion of the system, with former mayor Mark Mallory saying that it's not a question of "if," but "when" and "where" the streetcar goes next.

Many businesses along the route displayed pro-streetcar messages.
After the first five ceremonial rides, the Connector opened to the public around noon. It was free to ride all weekend thanks to donations from Believe in Cincinnati, streetcar manufacturer CAF, Cincinnati Bell, Fred Craig, the Haile Foundation, and Joseph Automotive Group. Each station was staffed with volunteers who helped inform riders about the how the system works, where it goes, and how to pay your fare after the start of revenue service. Additionally, a number of special events and activities took place place near each of the streetcar stations, ranging from DJs to ballet dancers to sidewalk chalk artists. Many businesses along the route offered special streetcar-themed food, drinks, and merchandise.
The system initially opened with four out of the five streetcars in service, but the fifth was put into service around 4 p.m. on Friday and all five continued to operate for the remainder of the weekend. The system operated at nearly maximum capacity all weekend, with lines of people waiting to board at each station.
Unfortunately, the system was forced to close on Saturday afternoon due to a bomb threat. The threat, which appears to be connected to similar threats made over the weekend at the Cincinnati Zoo and two local high school football games, was not believed to be credible, but the system was closed down as a precautionary measure. After a bomb-sniffing dog searched all five streetcars and found nothing, they were put back in to service.
Despite this setback, the system transported passengers on 18,141 trips on Friday, 17,160 on Saturday, and 15,345 on Sunday, for a grand total of 50,646 trips during the grand opening.
After the free weekend, revenue service began Monday morning on the Cincinnati Bell Connector. The fare is $1 for a two-hour pass, or $2 for an all-day pass. No streetcar-specific monthly pass is available, but a monthly Metro pass includes rides on the streetcar as well as Metro buses. Tickets can be purchased at kiosks at each station, or using the Cincy EZRide app which is now available in the iOS App Store and Google Play.

Free Essay: Cognitive Development Theory and Aileen Wuornos
The real-world scenario I am going to address is the life of Aileen Wuornos. Wuornos was a serial killer convicted for the murder of seven men. She was sexually abused as a child; the experience deterred her ability to forge healthy relationships as an adult. As a child, Wuornos was a ward of the state; the state was financially responsible for taking care of her because of the absence of her parents. Her father committed suicide in prison where he was being held for child molestation charges and her mother abandoned her, leaving her in the hands of her grandparents. Wuornoss grandmother was an alcoholic whereas her grandfather had a violent temper. Wuornoss life has inspired artists to create an opera, books and a good number of documentaries. Wuornoss was also taken as the basis of a 2003 movie titled Monster. I intend to apply Piagets cognitive theory, B.F. Skinners operant conditioning behavioural theory and Eriksons psychosocial theory in addressing the Wuornoss case.
If this sample essay on"Free Essay: Cognitive Development Theory and Aileen Wuornos" doesn't help,
Piagets cognitive theory can be used to explain Wuornos scenario. Given that she was sexually abused as a teenager, there is a higher chance that she developed a profound loathing for men. Piagets cognitive theory states that children make a construction of the world that they perceive around them and later realize discrepancies between what they thought life was and the reality of the matter. The discrepancies between a childs perception about life and the reality that they discover from the environment are likely to have debilitating effects on the child. There is a possibility that Wuornoss thought that growing up in an abusive family was the order of the day but when it dawned on her that most children are not exposed to sexual abuse, she was negatively affected by the realization. There is a possibility that she started viewing herself as a social misfit. Her perception of herself as a social misfit most definitely made her start exhibiting deviant social behavior. Piagets cognitive theory states that for an individual to develop into a social being, he or she should be able to make a good transition from one life stage to another (Oakley, 2004). Wuornos was unable to make a good transition from childhood to adulthood. Given that she grew up with both of her parents absent, she grew up with her grandparents who did very little to mould her character into a sociable being and she was thrown out of their home as a teenager, there is a high chance that she had a big problem transitioning from a child into an adult. Most teenagers are often given emotional and psychological support by their parents when they are teenagers; this often makes it easy for them to make a transition from childhood to adulthood. Wuornos lacked emotional and psychological support that would have ensured that she made a good transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Given that her grandmother was an alcoholic and her grandfather had a violent temper, it can be interpreted that Wournos lacked a moral and authoritative figure during her teenage life that would have moulded her character and made her a sociable, disciplined and law-abiding citizen. Wuornoss deviant social behavior can be attributed to her failure to make a good transition from childhood to adulthood.
B.F. Skinners operant conditioning behavioral theory can be used to explain Wuornos behavior. Operant conditioning behavioral theory states that behavior changes based on life experiences (Liefooghe & De, 2016). There is a high chance that Wuornos was an obedient, sociable and disciplined child but this changed when her grandfather sexually assaulted her, abandoned by her mother and when she was thrown out of her grandparents home. Skinner asserts that change in a persons behaviour is as a result of the individuals reaction to events that happen in his or her environment. Skinner asserts that reinforcement of events in a persons environment is likely to bolster a persons change in behavior. Given that Wuornos experienced a horrifying childhood, she was sexually assaulted when she was a child, her father committed suicide while in prison, she was abandoned by her mother, she was chased out of their home when she was a teenager and failed to develop stable relationships with people; the above- mentioned factors most likely made her to develop into a socially- deviant human being. Wuornos experienced a reinforcement of negative experiences in her life. According to Skinner, Wuornoss socially-deviant behaviour could be explained by the reinforcement of events that happened in her life. Wuornoss negative life experiences are less likely to make any human being grow up into a sociable, law- abiding and disciplined individual.
Eriksons theory of psychological development can be effectively applied in the Wuornos real world scenario. Eriksons theory of psychological development chronologically describes a span of life stages and the developmental issues associated with the stages. The psychological theory was formulated by Erik Erikson. According to the theory, life can be summed up into eight stages. Erikson avers that personality development in human beings is a predetermined issue and it is build upon by each previous stage that a person goes through. The theory suggests that individuals who successfully go through each of the life stages become well prepared to handle issues they come across in subsequent life stages. Failure for individuals to successfully go through the life stages may result in a crisis in their subsequent life stages. Wuornos had a disturbing childhood that had a profound effect on her subsequent years.
Ericsons theory of psychological development can be used to explain Wuornoss vagabond existence as an adult. Wuornos was a sex worker. Wuornoss failure to have a stable marriage with a wealthy man by the name of Lewis Fell can be explained by the Ericsons theory. Having grown in an unstable family, chances of her building a stable relationship with anybody were slim. Wuornoss marriage to Lewis only lasted for two years. Their marriage crumbled after Wuornos was arrested for involving herself in an altercation with law enforcement officers due to her deviant social- behavior. In subsequent years, Wuornos was also involved in a good number of social deviant behaviors. Wuornoss vagabond existence can be attributed to her failure to go successfully go through Ericsons developmental stages. She never got to know what a normal childhood is and her teenage life experience was chaotic. She was asked by her grandparents to leave their home when she was a teenager. Adolescent is a critical life stage in a life of any individual. At this stage, a person requires emotional and support from the society and more so from parents. A teenager that is not given emotional and psychological support by parents at this stage is most likely to develop into a rebellious and rogue adult. Identity is often a critical stage during development of teenagers. Failure of the society and Wuornos parents to help her develop a good character during her teenage life had deleterious effects on her identity development. As a matter of fact, Wuornos parents were absent during her teenage life. Wuornos was left to be raised by her grandparents who did very little to ensure that her horrific childhood experiences do not affect her future. WuornosS grandmother was said to have overindulged in binge drinking ad her grandfather is said to have been a person with violent tantrums. Such an environment that Wuornos lived in with her grandparents could have done very little to ensure that she does not have a bleak perspective about life. There is even a higher chance that the home environment that Wuornos lived with her grandparents aggravated her bleak perspective of life. Given that Wuornos failed to successfully go through the first psychological stages, she was ill equipped to face her subsequent psychological (Svetina, 2014).
The psychosocial theory states that between year eighteen and fourty years, individuals should develop into intimate beings that have intimate relationships. Individuals who successfully undergo the sixth psychosocial development stage end up with healthy and long term relationships. Individuals who unsuccessfully undergo the sixth psychosocial developmental stage end up feeling lonely and isolated (Svetina, 2014). Wuornos was unable to develop a stable relationship with anybody and that explains her actions. She felt like an outcast due to her negative life experiences. Her decision to become a sex worker can be interpreted to mean that she never developed a healthy relationship with a person of the opposite sex (Wuornos & Berry-Dee, 2004).

Sometimes when trying to persevere through hardship I can quickly jump into the director's chair and tell God what I want Him to do. Am I the only one?
Yup. When I take the director's chair I tend to force things to happen. I try to shove open those doors that only God can open. Instead of walking with Him, I walk in front of Him.
So I make my plans and direct God to fulfill them–only to find that He had something far greater in store. But that's when I have to backtrack and undo a lot of what I've already done.
Instead of telling God what needed to be done, he listened to God and took action according to God's promises in His Word.
It was only after Nehemiah prayed for days that he made plans.
Are you in a situation that requires change? A change of job? A change of location?
A change of attitude? Of perspective?
Are you in a place where you know plans need to be made, but not sure what to do next?
Take courage. God's promises are abundant and permanent!
What Are God's Promises To Us?
He will supply every need.
Leave a comment or two with more of God's promises to us. And tell how this helps you make wise plans to persevere.
Mourn the problem and bring it to God.
Avoid anger and fear–the two killers of perseverance.
Be real with someone who can help.
I think I often Push ahead of God and then have to back track. I'm not really good at waiting. Thankfully God is helping me with this.
Thanks TC! Waiting is hard. He is faithful!

The History of the Ukulele
The name 'ukulele' is the traditional Hawaiian name that was given to a small instrument called the machete (machete de braga), which was originally developed in the Madeira Islands of Portugal.
The machete itself is a descendent of the early European and Middle Eastern plucked stringed instruments (such as the lute), is a member of the guitar family, and goes by several different names including the cavaquinho, braguinha, manchhete and cavaco.
The machete was brought into Hawaii by Portuguese immigrants, who moved to the islands to work in the sugar cane fields in the late 1800's.
Manuel Nunes, Augusto Dias and Jose do Espirito Santo, who arrived in Hawaii on the Ravenscrag in 1879 from the Portuguese Islands of Madeira are believed to have been the first makers of the Hawaiian 'ukulele'.

Q: Converting Java file:// URL to File(...) path, platform independent, including UNC paths I am developing a platform independent application. I am receiving a file URL*.
On windows these are:

*

*file:///Z:/folder%20to%20file/file.txt

*file://host/folder%20to%20file/file.txt (an UNC path)
I am using new File(URI(urlOfDocument).getPath())which works fine with the first one and also on Unix, Linux, OS X, but does not work with UNC paths.
What is the standard way to convert file: URLs to File(..) paths, being compatible with Java 6?
......
*
Note: I am receiving theses URLs from OpenOffice / LibreOffice (XModel.getURL()).

A: Building on @SotiriosDelimanolis's comment, here is a method to deal with URLs (such as file:...) and non-URLs (such as C:...), using Spring's FileSystemResource:
public FileSystemResource get(String file) {
    try {
        // First try to resolve as URL (file:...)
        Path path = Paths.get(new URL(file).toURI());
        FileSystemResource resource = new FileSystemResource(path.toFile());
        return resource;
    } catch (URISyntaxException | MalformedURLException e) {
        // If given file string isn't an URL, fall back to using a normal file
        return new FileSystemResource(file);
    }
}

A: Java (at least 5 and 6, java 7 Paths solved most) has a problem with UNC and URI. Eclipse team wrapped it up here : http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/UNC_Paths
From java.io.File javadocs, the UNC prefix is "////", and java.net.URI handles file:////host/path (four slashes).
More details on why this happens and possible problems it causes in other URI and URL methods can be found in the list of bugs at the end of the link given above.
Using these informations, Eclipse team developed org.eclipse.core.runtime.URIUtil class, which source code can probably help out when dealing with UNC paths.

A: Based on the hint and link provided in Simone Giannis' answer, this is my hack to fix this.
I am testing on uri.getAuthority(), because UNC path will report an Authority. This is a bug - so I rely on the existence of a bug, which is evil, but it apears as if this will stay forever (since Java 7 solves the problem in java.nio.Paths).
Note: In my context I will receive absolute paths. I have tested this on Windows and OS X.
(Still looking for a better way to do it)
package com.christianfries.test;

import java.io.File;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.net.URL;

public class UNCPathTest {

    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException, URISyntaxException {
        UNCPathTest upt = new UNCPathTest();

        upt.testURL("file://server/dir/file.txt");  // Windows UNC Path

        upt.testURL("file:///Z:/dir/file.txt");     // Windows drive letter path

        upt.testURL("file:///dir/file.txt");        // Unix (absolute) path
    }

    private void testURL(String urlString) throws MalformedURLException, URISyntaxException {
        URL url = new URL(urlString);
        System.out.println("URL is: " + url.toString());

        URI uri = url.toURI();
        System.out.println("URI is: " + uri.toString());

        if(uri.getAuthority() != null && uri.getAuthority().length() > 0) {
            // Hack for UNC Path
            uri = (new URL("file://" + urlString.substring("file:".length()))).toURI();
        }

        File file = new File(uri);
        System.out.println("File is: " + file.toString());

        String parent = file.getParent();
        System.out.println("Parent is: " + parent);

        System.out.println("____________________________________________________________");
    }

}

A: For Java 8 the following method works:

*

*Form an URI from file URI string

*Create a file from the URI (not directly from URI string, absolute URI string are not paths)

Refer, below code snippet
    String fileURiString="file:///D:/etc/MySQL.txt";
    URI fileURI=new URI(fileURiString);
    File file=new File(fileURI);//File file=new File(fileURiString) - will generate exception

    FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(file);
    fis.close();

A: I hope (not exactly verified) that newer java brought nio package and Path. Hopefully it have it fixed:
        String s="C:\\some\\ile.txt";
        System.out.println(new File(s).toPath().toUri());

Sexual Assault Crisis Response for Ugandan Orphans

Since She Was Four Years Old
By Daniele Reisbig - Development and Grants Manager
Nyaka Primary School Student
He'd started when she was four years old. In the tiny house with the walls that didn't quite reach the roof, she'd learned that screaming wouldn't help. Her mother, her brothers and sisters, even the neighbors wouldn't come for her. With a knife held to her throat she'd had to lie down and pretend to be anywhere else.
Everyone the little girl told wouldn't believe her. A father is a protector. He wouldn't hurt his child. She suffered through years of being ignored. As soon as she could find the courage, she ran. Eventually she found her aunt and she lived in safety, miles from her home. Her father didn't know where she was. She pushed the past behind her and focused on her studies. She became a great student. But as she got older, her school fees grew with her. Her aunt couldn't afford to pay anymore and reached out to the young woman's family. As soon as her father knew where she was, he demanded that she be returned. And so she was.
Years after the abuse had started, she was back in her childhood home. The first night, her worst fears were confirmed. The young woman's father came into her room again. But this time her voice was stronger. It carried all the way to a neighbor's house. The neighbor brought the police and her father was finally arrested.
That should have been the beginning of a new hope for the young woman but it only brought more troubles. Some men who heard about the abuse teased her and asked why she wouldn't sleep with them as well since she slept with her father. Her father's relatives threatened to burn her alive if he died in jail. Her mother begged the police to release her father because he was the only one who could provide for the family.
With no child protective services, no police protection, and no shelter, abused children like this young woman have had no hope.
Thanks to you, we are developing programs to help children like this young woman. Children under threat need a place to go to be safe from further assault or repercussions of reporting to the police. So we have developed Kwerinda House. Kwerinda means "safety" in the local language. The house will be equipped to provide shelter to survivors and their families while they work with a case worker. It will provide tools for economic independence like micro-finance loans so families don't have to rely on an abuser for economic security. It will be a place of healing for children who have survived what no one should.
There is so much more work to be done. But, because of you, Kwerinda House will be a reality for children in one of the most remote areas of the world.
Thank you for being a hero!

ORSYP Extends Reach of Performance & Capacity Management to Include Extra IT Resources
New Sysload release centralizes monitoring and analysis of IT resource utilization
ORSYP
PARIS and BOSTON, April 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ORSYP, a leading provider of IT Operations Management software and services, today announced the availability of a new version of its innovative performance and capacity management tool. ORSYP has extended Sysload to offer new functionality that will enable organizations to model and analyze the performance of any of their IT infrastructure resources and applications.
Today's IT Operations teams are too heavily reliant on in-house scripts, customizations and a mix of other utility tools to monitor the performance of their enterprise systems. Not only are these tools cumbersome to use and time consuming to maintain; they also fail to provide the information needed when growing IT services. Sysload offers users a new design studio in which they can map the monitoring of IT resources, infrastructure components and applications that are unique to their environment. As a result users can benefit from using Sysload's powerful analytics and reporting features to build a complete picture of performance and IT resource utilization for their IT landscape.
Sysload's new feature also provides a structured framework for organizing and deploying scripts, with an aim to produce performance indicators specific to technological and business activities. With this new capability IT teams can now centralize, manage versions and deploy existing monitoring scripts. This standardization decreases operational risks and enables economies of scale. By exploiting Sysload's distributed architecture, extensibility and capacity scalability are assured.
"These new Sysload features allow users to simply and industrially integrate their own performance metrics. For monitoring teams who need to adapt their service catalog to closely match internal and external client requests, Sysload is the answer. Development and maintenance work is shortened, making this must-have functionality for the monitoring tool team," concludes Yann Guernion, ORSYP Product Marketing Manager.
About ORSYP
ORSYP is an IT Operations Management specialist that develops and markets innovative solutions that automate IT processes and optimize resource utilization. Headquartered in Boston, Hong Kong, and Paris, ORSYP has been chosen by over 1400 customers as their trusted partner for software, consulting and education since 1986.

Norse restaurant sets up a permanent home in Harrogate

There seems to be a restaurant or café on every street corner in Harrogate with one eatery successfully turning to the public to help them compete, as Martin Pilkington finds out.
The team at Norse which successfully crowdfunded their move to new premises - Credit: Archant
For three years and more Scandinavian restaurant Norse has been doing the catering equivalent of sleeping on its mate's sofa, occupying in the evening the space used by Nordic cafe Baltzersen's during the day. In spite of that inconvenience it has enjoyed great success – Jay Rayner one of many critics to enthuse about their food. Both establishments in Harrogate town centre are owned by Paul Rawlinson, so there were probably no arguments about the washing up, but he's delighted that shortly Norse will have a new home of its own.
'The 8th of April will be first full service open to paying customers,' says Paul, whose Norwegian grandma's cookery inspired the original cafe venture. 'We're all looking forward to it hugely as it will allow us to improve things like furniture, the ambience, and the breadth of our wine list. And it will be good to see what the guys can do in their bigger and better kitchens.'
The opening in their new premises in Swan Road, near Valley Gardens, once the home of the short-lived Wild Restaurant, has been partly crowdfunded. 'It was super-successful,' enthuses Paul. 'We expected it to be a long slog and to need extra effort to keep it in the public gaze, but it ran away with us.' The £20,000 target was raised in just four days.
Simon Jewitt, Norse's head chef, is a partner in the relocated operation. He's equally thrilled by the response. 'We'd been allocated 30 days and it took four, which is fantastic. And it's great to know we have that support, and pretty humbling too.'

The recipe for Norse's success combines both Scandinavian and Yorkshire elements. 'The last 10 years have seen a massive revolution in food in Scandinavia,' explains Simon while Paul cites the example of Noma in Copenhagen, frequently named as the world's best restaurant by food critics. 'I follow the Nordic manifesto,' says Simon, 'which is all about top quality local sourcing from as close as possible to the restaurant, seasonality and not wasting anything. My inspiration comes from using classic combinations of food but employing new techniques, like Scandinavian preservation methods.'
The team works hard to build relationships with suppliers such as Farmison's, a butcher in Ripon from whom he just bought 30-day-old milk-fed lamb, and he uses the services of a local forager to back up his own efforts locating ingredients like wild garlic, cowberries and wood sorrel. 'Coming into spring we're using local rhubarb, a proud Yorkshire moment for a proud Yorkshireman, and as this is a Scandinavian restaurant as well as using it fresh we're preserving some for later in the year – I just pickled 10 kilos, am fermenting some, and will be drying some out to make powders.'
Norse has built its reputation on high-end tasting menus, which will continue in the new premises, but they'll also be offering small plates and an option where larger dishes like short-rib of beef, or for vegetarians roast celeriac to be shared by diners.
'Being independent means flexibility, pushing things you like and enjoy, but I think that more than that, like most independents, we rely on having those stories behind the elements of the business,' says Paul. 'It's about the talent of the chefs, the producers you're in contact with, having free rein with the menu and really working at the training of the team so we can give great service.' And as if to give a practical example he and several colleagues were heading off to taste almost 400 wines before choosing a select few for their list.

Harrogate is becoming, it seems, a very competitive town as far as hospitality and eating out is concerned. Is there a danger of too many spoiling the town? Not necessarily so. Steve Patton from the tourism organisation Visit Harrogate says: 'Harrogate is very lucky in its restaurant provision for a number of reasons. The first of which is that it's one of the UK's major conference centres and secondly it's a fine spa town with lots of cultural attractions, popular as a destination since Victorian times – the economy here is driven by leisure, tourism and the hospitality industry. 'There are more than 135 restaurants here now and being an affluent area makes it a good market for them but that also makes it very competitive, and can mean it's tougher retaining staff,' adds Steve. There is a very wide selection of the world's favourite cuisines to choose from without venturing beyond Harrogate's outskirts. A quick scan reveals Turkish, Greek, Thai, Italian, French, Chinese, Mexican, American, Japanese, British, Cajun, Italian, Mongolian, Spanish, Brazilian, and of course with Norse, Scandinavian, and there are probably more.
The town has attracted the top national chains, though independents remain the majority. It's a win-win situation for consumers who can choose from brand names everyone recognises, or be more adventurous and opt for places that have carved out niches for themselves by focusing on their individuality.

Give Me the Message! Political posters from Cuba, France, and the United States, 1960–75
Give Me the Message! presents three bodies of original posters created between 1960 and 1975 in three different parts of the world: Cuba, France, and the United States. Together they offer collective and individual perspectives on the Communist revolution in Cuba; Vietnam War opposition and religious activism in the United States; and the student uprisings in Paris in May, 1968.
Poster artists in Communist Cuba had many inspiring exemplars: Russian and Soviet propaganda, Latin American modern art, and Chicano art and pop art from the United States. The Cuban government established a central arts agency—the Organización de Solidaridad con los Pueblos de Asia, África y América Latina, or OSPAAAL—and educated and employed the most talented artists in the country.
The original lithographs on display are OSPAAAL posters from the 1960s and '70s—
the most celebrated era of Cuban poster design. During this time, individual artists were credited for their work and held public exhibitions of their posters and paintings.
In keeping with OSPAAAL's mission to advance global solidarity, many of the posters venerate Communist leaders and revolutionary struggles. On view are such iconic works as Richard Nixon Vampire (1972) and US Techno-Drone Soldier (1971), both by Alfredo Rostgaard; and Elena Serrano's Day of the Heroic Guerrilla (1968).
All Cuban works in the exhibition were generously loaned by Matthew P. Bergman '86.
Corita Kent (1918–86) was an artist, educator, and social justice advocate. She entered the order of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary in Los Angeles at the age of eighteen. Eventually, she taught in the art department at Immaculate Heart College, and in 1964, she became its director. There, she developed experimental teaching methods.
Corita saw Andy Warhol's infamous Campbell's Soup Cans exhibition at LA's Ferus Gallery in 1962. She admired pop art's mash-up of advertising imagery, slogans, and bold colors. During the '60s Corita's work became more political, overtly denouncing the war in Vietnam as well as racism and injustice in the United States.
In 1968 Corita left her order and continued making art. She engaged in social and religious activism until her death in 1986, by which time she had created thousands of serigraphs, watercolors, and public and private commissions. The Reed College Art Collection contains over two hundred works by Corita Kent, a generous gift by an anonymous donor.
Paris, France. May 1968. Thousands of silk-screened posters such as these covered the façade of the Sorbonne and its surrounding streets as students, workers, and everyday people banded together to fight police brutality and oppression under the government of President Charles de Gaulle. By mid-May, people marched in the millions.
The silkscreens were made by the Atelier Populaire, a collective of art students and striking workers who occupied the École des Beaux-Arts on May 14, working around the clock in shifts to provide the massive uprising with a visual voice. They printed several thousand posters each day and installed them at night.
Poster designs were submitted anonymously within the group and reviewed in meetings; once complete, they were "signed" with a simple rubber stamp marking their origin. Though de Gaulle ultimately remained in power, the posters transmit the passion, energy, and political agenda of May '68—a critical moment in French history
that had lasting repercussions. The Atelier Populaire posters are part of the Reed College Art Collection.

The feature known as Quick Assist was released as an update for the typical Windows Remote Assistance feature at the occasion of Windows 10's anniversary. This facility or feature allows a Windows 10 user to help another Windows 10 user to troubleshoot his/her PC. You can do all this simply by staying in front of your own system. So if you know a solution to the problem (your friend's PC is facing), you can simply solve it anytime without going anywhere using this all new Windows 10's Remote/Quick Assist feature.
Why this Windows 10 Quick Assist feature?
This feature has been designed for the Windows 10 users only, to quickly assist each other in case of any system problem. This is what the name suggests, to assist quickly.
Although, it's an update of the Windows Remote Assistance feature, it's easier to use with a simpler interface than the former tool.
You, for example, are sharing your mind with one of your friends and he says that he is going through a system problem recently. You, with this Windows 10's Quick Assist feature, can connect with your friend's PC, analyze the problem and can solve it, all in a few minutes without actually going anywhere.
This, however, is an extraordinary feature which has helped many in remotely assisting one another in solving out different problems in Windows 10.
What does it take to start this Windows 10's Quick Assist connection?
You can't simply connect to the PC facing problems on your own. To use this feature, both the victim and the assisting system must be active. Also, it requires efforts from both the parties to establish a connection between the two systems.
More importantly, both the systems must have this Quick Assist feature installed in the Windows 10 operating system in order to be functional. In case you don't have Windows 10 installed on your PC, Windows Remote Assistance feature would do the needful (for the earlier versions of the Windows).
In this section we'll tell you the simple steps following which you can engage Windows 10 Quick Assist feature on your PC. Keep reading for this.
Step1: Click the Start button and search Quick Assist. Press Enter.
Click Start and navigate to Windows> Accessories> Quick Assist to open this application.
Step2: If you want to provide assistance to someone in need, click the Give Assistance option.
Step3: A sign-in screen would pop up on your screens where you'll need to fill the username and password of your Microsoft account.
Once you've filled these details, click Sign-in to obtain a security code with a 10 Minute validity (it would expire after that).
You can click Give Assistance option again to obtain a fresh code in case the first one has expired.
Step1: Tell your friend (who's facing problems) to launch the Quick Assist application on his/her PC and Click Get Assistance feature (to ask for the help). They can simply navigate to Start> Windows> Accessories> Quick Assist to open this application.
Step2: Tell them the security code you just obtained and entered in your own PC, after clicking the Give Assistance option.
Note: The code stays valid for 10 minutes only, so you need to be fast to successfully set up a connection between the two systems.
Step3: Enter the code and press Submit. A confirmation prompt will be shown on the victim's screen where he/she has to agree to provide access to their PC.
That's it. You are now, given an access to the victim's PC where, you'll see the other desktop in a window on your own screen. You can access all their files and applications being in front of your own PC. In other words, you'll be given a legal authorization to change the settings of the victim's PC where, you can use it like the real owner of the computer for a specific point of time.
Just troubleshoot their PC, change the required settings or eliminate a malware to solve the problems the system is facing. You can change it all through your own computer, believe me.
Certain icons are made available on the top of the screen to annotate (draw on the screen), change the size of the window, open Task Manager, to pause the Quick Assist feature or to end it. You can make arrows or round the things to highlight them which at the same time will be visible to the other user (the victim) to remember the overall procedure. This will act like a guide for the victim at the same time.
Change the settings as required to solve their problems, but be cautious while changing the network settings as this can end your connection without any warning or notice. So pay attention to avoid the need of setting up the connection back again. Click the Remote reboot option to reboot the victim PC to implement the changes. This won't automatically finish your Quick Assist connection.
Click the End icon (on the top) to end the connection anytime.
So, this was all about engaging the Windows 10's Quick Assist feature employed by Microsoft and using it to help the people in need.

That is the query asked by John Cochrane in this current draft essay ( non-PDF model here ), in response to a latest Journal of Economic Perspectives article by Robin Greenwood and David Scharfstein.

Bill Monroe's bluegrass sound was an amalgamation of different American traditions and through his tune entitled "Scotland" he highlights both the Scottish fiddling traditions and blues traditions prevalent in the South. Monroe traced his paternal heritage to Scotland, with the name Monroe presumably a respelling of "Munro," and he was known to speak fondly of the old tones of Scottish music. "Scotland" was written as a vehicle for twin fiddles to imitate the sound of Highland bagpipes.
Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys only ever played once in Scotland, as part of a tour organized by Bill Clifton and John Atkins. They played in Greyfriars Monastery in Uddingston outside of Glasgow on April 25th, 1975. Surprisingly, it doesn't appear that they played "Scotland." The photo to the left is from that show (taken by Alex Dunn).
"Scotland" was recorded, along with "Panhandle Country," on April 8th, 1958, with Kenny Baker and Bobby Hicks on twin fiddles, Joe Drumright on banjo, Edd Mayfield (his last session with Monroe before passing away) on guitar, and Bessie Lee Mauldin on bass. This Decca Records session was produced by Harold Bradley in Nashville, Tennessee, and was released as a single (Decca 9 30739) on September 29 of the same year. It made the Billboard charts, reaching #27 – a first for Bill since he had started recording for Columbia.
It was released on an LP for the first time in 1961, as part of a compilation called All Time Country and Western Volume 3 (DL 4134) and then again in 1965 as part of a Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys (spelled "Bluegrass" on the cover) compilation called Bluegrass Instrumentals (DL74601). However, the band had been playing "Scotland" in live shows since it was recorded as a single, as evidenced by this recording from New River Ranch in 1959.
For a chance to see this tune played with pipes, check out this star-studded video from the Transatlantic Sessions.
Here's a video I took while on tour in Scotland in a small town outside of Dumfries where some of my paternal ancestry is traced. I attempt to imitate both Bill's use of the A string as a drone and the fiddle variations in my interpretation. I found it to be more challenging than I expected.


Ever get that feeling at work, where you have a lot of work to do but can't seem to focus and power through the day. Here are ten ways you can get through that work day slow down and get it done.
While breaks are important, unscheduled breaks can be more distracting than relaxing. You can get software to block certain sites, although, simply ask yourself, "Will help or hinder me from getting the work done?" If it hinders, stop what you're doing, and get back to work.
This kind of goes back to the first one. Much like with the internet, messing with your phone is just another unauthorized break, taking you away from your responsibilities at work. A suggestion: place the phone in an area where you can't see it: out of sight, out of mind. Another suggestion would be to turn your phone off while at work, unless you need your phone to stay on for emergencies. You can also try putting your phone on silent or vibrate.
If you can see it, you can do it. Being able to have a list to guide you on what you need to do will help you cross every item on your list.
Personally, I can work whether the music has lyrics or not, however, it has been noted that music with lyrics can be distracting while you try to work. So try something orchestral or instrumental to help the work day go by faster but not distract you from the task at hand.
If you perform better under pressure, then have someone light the fire in your irons (if you catch my drift). You can pick a friend, a colleague or make it a goal your set for yourself, whomever you choose and whatever your goal, make sure it's an external force that will push you to work harder.
If you put it off to tomorrow, you'll continue to put if off and never get it done. So, give yourself a reasonable deadline of when to have it done. If you set a deadline for tomorrow, you won't have to put if off for tomorrow.
A time management tool created in the 1980s that combines several types of productivity tools already discussed in this article. This technique promotes focus with regularly scheduled breaks. "Pomodoro encourages you to map out what needs to get done in manageable, 25-minute continuous blocks." After each pomodoro, or each block, take a three to four minute break, but on every fourth break, take a longer break with 15 to 20 minutes. This will help create a steady workflow, while allowing your brain time to recuperate and incorporate information.
A technique popularized by Jerry Seinfeld, he had a motto that you shouldn't let a day go by without accomplishing what you set out to accomplish. What you do is collect all your dates for a year and put them on a wall. And when you complete all the tasks from one day, mark a giant red "x" on that day. After a while, you'll have enough days crossed off to form a chain.
Whether you work from, or telecommute (working from anywhere), you'll need to create a space to work in that is separate from the space where you sleep, eat, etc. By creating your own space designated just for you to work, you are sure to increase your productivity. Some suggestions that could work if you can't afford an office space are the library, a coffee shop or the park. These places will help you keep your professional life separate from your personal life.
Unrealistic expectations can be the most detrimental to productivity. These overzealous expectations can be the result of guilt over not being productive enough but you shouldn't feel shame if you don't get everything done. And don't try to cram it all in just because you have the next few days off or just returned from a vacation. Access what you can reasonable do and work on one thing at a time. Give it your all to each task you're doing, instead of rushing through everything and not do a job well done.
