Governance Factor; Beyond the Board
Corporate governance has long been a focal point for large corporates, listed companies and regulated entities, with numerous studies connecting good corporate governance with higher profitability. However, as the March 2021 effective date of the EU's Sustainability-Related Disclosure Regulation approaches, corporate governance is becoming increasingly important to companies of all sizes. This is, in part, due to investee companies needing to follow good governance practices, as a baseline, in order to be classified as a "sustainable investment."1
Corporate governance is not only facing increased scrutiny by investors and stakeholders but also regularly attracts adverse media attention. Directors wishing to safeguard themselves and the businesses they serve when discharging their duties should, therefore, be mindful of good corporate governance strategies and consider implementing strategies beyond the yardstick of the law.
This article explores several recommendations for companies seeking to improve their corporate governance framework, including:
increasing board diversity and representation;
ensuring that there is a strong compliance function;
bolstering reporting lines and risk management procedures; and
guaranteeing opportunities for stakeholder engagement.
Diversity, Representation and Accountability
Increasing diversity and representation at board level has been demonstrated by a number of studies to provide consequential benefits to businesses, improving both their governance and profitability. One such study, carried out by the Harvard School of Public Health, concluded in a 2016 report that there are a range of advantages stemming from enhancing gender diversity on boards,2 including (i) better buying and usage decisions, due to the board better representing the companies' customer bases; (ii) growth in the companies' talent pools; and (iii) diversity producing a difference in perspectives. One cited study found that the presence of women on boards led to companies having improved risk management as well as a better focus on long-term priorities. While the Harvard study was limited to assessing gender diversity, there have been numerous studies identifying benefits linked to better representation from enhancing ethnic diversity at board level.
In addition to empirical data that suggests better corporate governance outcomes stemming from enhanced diversity, corporates are facing greater external pressure from their stakeholders to increase gender and ethnic diversity at board level. An example highlighted in our article exploring the "social factors in ESG"3 is the warning issued by L&G that, beginning in 2022, it will vote against companies that have retained all-white boards. L&G is not alone in adopting this approach. In 2017, State Street issued a pledge that it would vote against a reelection of chairpersons and senior members of boards that it deemed to be lacking in diversity, unless the board members demonstrated that they were committed to improving the diversity of their boards. State Street has followed up this pledge by issuing an open letter in August 2020 requiring companies in their portfolio to articulate goals related to racial and ethnic representation at board level.4
Furthermore, the Diversity Disclosure Initiative, a new initiative organised by the Illinois State Treasurer, is pressing companies in the US Russell 3000 Index to publish the racial and ethnic composition of their boards, in the hope that this will encourage the introduction of policies to vote against members of companies' Nomination Committees who do not report information on the racial or ethnic composition of their boards in their annual reports or proxy statements. Most recently, Nasdaq has filed a proposal with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that, if approved, would require most Nasdaq-listed companies to have, or explain the absence of, at least two diverse directors.5
The U.K. Corporate Governance Code was strengthened in 2018 to promote gender, social and ethnic diversity in U.K. boardrooms, requiring companies to include a separate section in their annual reports describing the board's policy on diversity, including any measurable objectives the board has set and its progress towards meeting those goals.6 Whilst the requirements of the U.K. Corporate Governance Code are not compulsory, as the regime operates on a "comply or explain" basis, it is generally considered to be best practice for companies to comply rather than publicly explain any noncompliance. In order to reap the benefits associated with enhancements to board-level diversity, companies should ensure that their diversity initiatives and appointments are not perceived as a box-ticking exercise by taking steps to achieve and demonstrate an inclusive decision-making process.
Entrenchment of Compliance in Governance Strategy
A good corporate governance strategy should go beyond board representation. Businesses seeking to improve their corporate governance also should ensure that they maintain a strong compliance function. Often referred to as the "second line of defence", an effective compliance function should be capable of:
managing the demands of both external and internal stakeholders;
engaging and having oversight of the business lines;
ensuring compliance with any legal and regulatory obligations; and
reporting to the board.
Certain U.K. and EU regulated entities, including entities which will be classified as financial market participants under the Sustainability-Related Disclosure Regulation (such as MiFID investment firms), are currently obliged to maintain distinct compliance functions proportional to the size of the business they operate. While smaller corporates and unregulated entities will not necessarily have a separate compliance function, financial market participants that are seeking to invest in these businesses will need to ensure that the business has good governance practices before these investments can be labelled "sustainable" under the Sustainability-Related Disclosure Regulation. Although it is not a requirement that all financial product suppliers make sustainable investments at present, the direction of travel in the market is such that these classifications will become increasingly important for companies to retain access to capital markets and other financing. A demonstration of strong internal compliance policies and procedures, as well as sound internal financial systems and controls, may assist in demonstrating that the investee company has good governance procedures.
In establishing and maintaining an adequate compliance function, boards and compliance officers should ensure that any legal requirements are met as a priority. However, in strengthening the compliance function, senior management also should consider the risks incurred by the business carried out and whether these risks warrant increased investment in the compliance function, including to enhance or introduce additional systems and controls.
Risk and Reputation Management
The entrenchment of good corporate governance strategies and procedures can reduce legal, regulatory and reputational risks to businesses. Conversely, a report conducted by the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators (ICSA) has concluded that a breakdown in corporate governance may lead to excessive risk-taking, placing businesses in potential jeopardy. ICSA cited the collapse of BHS in 2016 as an example.
In November 2020, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the FCA) published the results of a review of listed issuers and how such entities approach disclosures relating to corporate governance, concluding that there is "room for improvement" by these entities. One area identified as deficient was that statements made by companies did not make it clear how nonexecutive directors provide constructive challenge.7 Furthermore, the FCA found that there was overreliance on boilerplate disclosures, and it was unclear from company reports how the principles of the U.K. Corporate Governance Code have been applied in practice, including articulating what action has been taken and the resulting outcomes. The U.K. Financial Reporting Council (FRC) conducted a review of corporate governance reporting in November 2020. Amongst its findings, the FRC concluded that boilerplate reporting on principal decisions was common, but it has advised companies to navigate away from this approach. Instead, the FRC suggests that companies provide examples and explain the contribution of each principal decision to its long-term success. The FRC's review also found that board statements regarding the challenges offered by independent nonexecutive directors were often vague and unsubstantiated. In order to improve reporting, the FRC has recommended that companies explain whether challenges were observed and whether these challenges led to the introduction of new ideas or approaches.
There are a number of duties incumbent on directors of U.K. companies under the U.K. Companies Act 2006. This includes an obligation for directors to act in the way they consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, having regard for a range of factors, including any relevant ESG factors. To the extent that the purpose of the company is silent on ESG factors, such issues should be considered to the extent that they are relevant to long-term shareholder value. However, under the U.K. Companies Act 2006, companies are permitted to modify their purpose to include other purposes beyond attaining shareholder return, such as the consideration of ESG factors. This approach may be explored by companies where stakeholders have encouraged the adoption of ESG-specific objectives and goals. In addition, the FRC has issued guidance regarding risk management procedures, guiding boards to design, implement and maintain "appropriate risk management and internal control systems that identify the risks facing the company and enable the board to make a robust assessment of the principal risks."8 While this guidance is not obligatory, directors and senior officers seeking to enhance their corporate governance procedures should not be passive in the decision-making process. Rather, they must be willing to scrutinise the information provided to them and challenge recommendations if there is not sufficient information provided to undertake the relevant decision.
Corporate governance strategies also may be improved by ensuring that there is effective oversight and meaningful challenges to business decisions, whether regarding legal and regulatory standards, assessments of environmental impact and reputational risk, or internal policies. This provides value to the business, given the potential damage adverse media attention on poor decisions may have, as has been shown by the recent media attention on Rio Tinto following its decision to proceed with the destruction of Aboriginal sites in Western Australia, despite the allegations that Rio Tinto was aware of the significance of the site.
Furthermore, in order to substantively bolster corporate governance practice and the risk frameworks, entities should ensure that they have clearly documented reporting lines, which are communicated to employees, managers and directors. Committee structures that are commensurate with the size of the business conducted also can improve corporate governance. Companies should, however, be mindful of creating committees that do not have a clear delegation of responsibility and end-point accountability.
Strong whistleblowing procedures and channels are an important element of an appropriate risk and reputation management framework. The focus on strengthening whistleblowing systems and controls for regulated entities, and the allocation of individual responsibility for such systems, has increased in recent years, as is demonstrated by the FCA's expectation that firms will appoint a nonexecutive director as a "whistleblowers' champion." Failures by regulated entities to have appropriate whistleblowing systems and controls may result in enhanced monitoring and scrutiny by the FCA, financial penalties and public censure. These penalties also may extend to the senior managers of regulated entities, where there is individual misconduct or actions taken to undermine the whistleblowing procedures, as was shown by the Final Notice and fine issued against the chief executive officer of a multinational financial services company in 2018.9 This not only resulted in enhanced monitoring by the FCA, but also attracted negative media attention for the group. Whistleblowing controls also are important for nonregulated entities in the U.K., not only because of the legal rights and protections attaching to whistleblowers under the U.K. Employment Rights Act 1996 (as amended by the U.K. Public Interest Disclosure Act 1998), and the legal and financial consequences of breaching these, but also as a way of identifying and solving genuine issues in the business and avoiding adverse risks to the reputation of the business and its senior management. In order to avert these risks, organisations should ensure that they implement and maintain both strong whistleblowing controls and employee and management training on the whistleblowing procedures..
Stakeholder Engagement Financial market participants may be tempted to see a tension between making "sustainable investments" and the promotion of the financial success of their organisations. One way for any planned financial market participants to determine the correct balance is to enhance stakeholder engagement as part of their stewardship strategy. Actions financial market participants may take to improve stakeholder engagement include providing greater disclosure of voting to their stakeholders, specifically as to the position adopted on the ESG strategies. A failure to do so may have adverse consequences, including shareholder activism, negative media coverage and the removal of board members who fail to sense wind changes or demonstrate commitments to issues raised by stakeholders. Furthermore, a short-term or one-track focus on the maximisation of financial return, without due regard to a company's long-term success and other factors, including wide-ranging ESG factors, may result in reputational as well as environmental damage. Such an outcome could have a significant impact on a company's share price. While the disclosures required under the Sustainability-Related Disclosure Regulation may lead to enhanced stakeholder awareness, financial market participants may wish to get ahead of the curve and initiate greater stakeholder engagement regarding the organisation's approach to sustainability.
As has been discussed in this article, in order to meet the requirement for a "sustainable investment", companies must be capable of demonstrating good governance practices as a baseline; on the other side of the table, investors should be mindful of the governance practices adopted by companies in their portfolios. While at present the guidance relating to corporate governance procedures is not compulsory for nonregulated companies, it is likely that there will be greater emphasis and increased due diligence into the procedures in place following the introduction of the Sustainability-Related Disclosure Regulation (or equivalent legislation adopted by the U.K. government) and, as a starting point, such companies should be considering enhancing their existing corporate governance procedures to ensure a greater focus on diversity, compliance, risk management and stakeholder engagement.

It's December!! That can only mean one thing… it's nearly Christmas!!! I have to admit my blogging has been some what sporadic recently so apologies for that. However, no time for excuses because I have set myself a goal… and that is Blogmas. For those of you that haven't heard of this before – it is basically a blog a day on the build up to Christmas. Can I do it? Let's find out.
This is a tricky one. I think I'm going to have to triple up and say Elf, The Holiday & Love Actually. Elf if I'm wanting pure comedy, The Holiday if im wanting pure romance and Love Actually if im wanting a mixture of the two. Feel good films are the best.
100% Christmas Day. I honestly never knew opening presents on Christmas Eve was even a thing until my boyfriend told me him and his family used to always do the opening on Christmas Eve. I still can't quite get my head around it. Every family has different traditions; having an Italian boyfriend means I get to hear loads of interesting facts about different cultures and traditions.
I think I would struggle to pick out one single memory. Christmas for me is about spending time with loved ones, having fun and creating new memories every year so to pick out just one would be impossible.
Pigs in blankets – All day every day!
This is by far the easiest question. A few years ago my gran made the most beautiful crotchet blanket. She made it from scratch, wrapped it up and gave it to me. I think there is something about handmade gifts that feel so special. Now every time I get wrapped up in it, I feel like I'm getting a big snuggle from my beautiful Grandma.
I guess it's not really a Christmas scent but the smell of Baileys always reminds me of Christmas. I love going to a Christmas Market and getting a Hot Chocolate with Baileys… delicious.
I have 2 that have stuck with me since my childhood and I refuse to let them go, whatever my age. I always receive a small gift from my mum on Christmas Eve. It's usually something really small but something she knows will mean a lot. The second tradition is that I will always put my stocking at the end of the bed when I go to bed and Santa still fills it over night whilst I'm sleeping. It's magic!
A White and Silver Fairy. We've had it for as long as I can remember… wouldnt be the same without it.
A dog. I'm 25 and still asking.
The fact that it brings everyone together. Family is by far the most important thing in my life. Seeing everyone together, smiling and enjoying being with one another is the best and most special feeling in the world.
So there we have it. My first Blogmas Post. To say I'm excited would be an understatement – I LOVE Christmas so much. If you love Christmas as much as me, why don't you give this Tag a go. Let me know if you do because I'd love to read your answers.

Q: Contructing Abstract Syntax Trees for Compiler Design I am currently studying Compiler Design and wanted to know if there are other factors (other than operator precedence) that drive an Abstract Syntax Tree construction to be a bottom-up approach.

*

*Is it safe to say that particularly in case of compilers design the
abstract syntax tree structure will be constructed always
bottom-up?

*If yes, what are constraints that will arise going top-down in terms
    of ambiguity, complexity and feasibility?
P.S. The intent of this question is to get a simple analogy as an answer which addresses it.
What I have read so far is this
question on SO and related course material including Wikipedia article but I want the freedom to say that yes they are always and will be constructed bottom-up. I hope there doesn't exist even a failed attempted research to go other ways.

When two adults decide to marry, one way to prevent conflict is to craft a Prenuptial Agreement, otherwise known as a Prenup. In the event that the marriage comes to an end, a well-written prenup can simplify the divorce process. Prenup agreements spell out what belongs to each person before he or she enters the marriage, called Separate Property, and is often not in dispute in a divorce.
Prenups also outline what happens to assets accumulated during the marriage, and how those assets should be divided should the marriage fail. Issues about children, estate planning and more can also be considered. As a skilled prenup attorney in Queens, Mark Plaine has experience in writing solid prenup agreements that can avoid or mitigate disputes in the event of a divorce.
There are actually three kinds of marital agreements: the prenuptial agreement, the postnuptial agreement (where no physical separation is considered) and the separation agreement.
Marital agreements seek to clarify issues that might otherwise be contested in a divorce proceeding. Issues that may arise include who owns what, who pays the bills, who supports whom financially, what are the inheritance rights of children from previous marriages, and how the children are to be raised, addressing educational and religious choices.
Sadly, many marriages end in divorce. The reason people execute prenuptial agreements (prenup agreements) is to simplify the issues in the event of divorce. A spouse may want to specifically designate items of property as nonmarital; a spouse may want to clarify inheritance issues; or, a spouse may want to limit the amount of alimony to be paid later.
Because marital agreements are legally binding in the State of New York, they must be in writing, signed by both sides, and acknowledged by a notary public. They must be prepared with the same formality as a deed.
Should a dispute arise, the court will review the agreement to determine its validity. Unless one party has engaged in fraud - misrepresentation, deception or concealment - the agreement is considered binding.
Queens divorce attorney Mark Plaine is experienced in writing these types of agreements, even for very high net worth individuals, where marital estates can be very complex. If you have a marital agreement and would like it reviewed, please contact us. A vague agreement with a lot of gray area won't help you in handling any conflict down the road.
When one or both spouses decide that the marriage will not continue, the first step is to write a Separation Agreement. This is a formal document that is filed in the court, and often marks the end of jointly held and accumulated property. However, the divorce is still not final. Couples can still continue health insurance coverage or file taxes jointly.
Since so many issues come in to play, contact Queens divorce attorney Mark Plaine with any questions you might have.

Demigods Of New York Series by Amira Rain, Samantha Snow (.ePUB)+
Demigods Of New York Series by Amira Rain, Samantha Snow (1-6)
Requirements: epub/azw3/mobi reader, 1.6 mb 350 KB
Overview: Samantha Snow is an NYT bestselling paranormal romance author. She particularly likes to enjoy writing a good vampire romance for adults especially.
1. House Of Gods – One moment I was broke and homeless.
The next, I was living in a Manhattan penthouse with 4 demigods who all wanted to please me as much as they could.
Funny how life turns out right?
When the gorgeously handsome Brandt Ridley offered cute Brenna Evans a place to stay after she was made homeless she could not say no
And she could not believe her eyes when she stepped inside his beautiful New York City penthouse apartment and met his three stunningly handsome housemates.
Brenna felt like she was the luckiest girl in the world.
Little did she know, none of this was luck. It was design.
Brandt and his friends were all demigods with special superpowers who were seeking a human female to produce an extra special child for them.
And Brenna was perfect for the job.
However, she could only choose one of the men to be the father of her baby and she would have to live with all of them until her decision was made…
2. House Of Gods 2: The Baby – Falling in love with four demigods is the least of her worries now that she's pregnant with a powerful child wanted by the gods.
Brenna Evans never imagined this was how her life would turn out.
Pregnant and on the run from hunters wanting to kill her unborn child, Brenna accepts the protection of the demigod Brandt Ridley and his three friends, any of whom could be the father of her child.
As Brenna struggles to make the difficult choice of selecting a mate from the four men, the prophecy surrounding her child changes, throwing her life into further chaos.

Wanna make your wedding look perfect??? Then, you should definitely meet Sneha & Karan - THE PARTYWAALA 🥰... Our wedding was due in two months and I was looking for wedding decorators. I spoke to so many of them who were into this business but, couldnt connect (idea-wise) with them on finalizing anything. Was looking for someone who could understand our choice and point of view for our wedding rather than talking about their decade of experience and giving us their own options. We came across the profile of THE PARTYWAALA on instagram and I really felt like giving a try. Fixed an appointment and met the duo -briefed our ideas, venue, requirements and expectations - the try was worth it.☺ Sneha and Karan personally took every care in understanding the idea of our wedding and really worked hard and shared every detail with us till our D-day. We were so confident with the response everytime from them throughout, that we just walked blindly down the aisle with a satisfied smile 😇 Thank you Sneha and Karan (and the team) for making our day look so beautiful. 😘 Everybody was all praises for the decor and arrangements. We would love to approach you for all the future events and recommend everyone who are looking forward for the best and co-operative event managers - The PARTYWAALA. Cheers to the team..!! Good luck..!!
Thank you so much Poonam and Avinash! It was such a pleasure working with you both????
"Just Perfect!!!" Is what we can say it in a word. We just had one week when we got in touch with "The Party Waala". I wasn't in Hyderabad to meet them and explain our event requirements, just had to rely on phone calls,...we were bit worried and had no clue how is it going to go...but then Sneha's response was positive & truly professional. After reviewing their profile we were happy to know that they are graduates from NIEM (National Institute of Event Management) - Mumbai This further strengthened our confidence to move forward. We briefed on our Venue, guest list, requirements and expectations. I still remember how nervous I was even on the event day morning when I first met the Party Waala team at the venue starting the arrangements, Just couple of hours to go for the event..will these guys make it ? But trust me their ideas, timing and detailing was just perfect!! Sneha Sawrekar the partner at The Party Waala personally took every care in understanding our whole idea about what we were looking for... Then they meticulously worked towards every small detail that we shared. The entrance experience with an easel invite card(proportions! ????), colour of the balloons, drapes, flowers, ornate bicycle, The main stage Cabanas decor with flowers was simply elegant and classy.. just the way we explained in our first call ???? but with added soft yellow hues. Each lounge seating decored with fresh flowers in an ornate cage .. beautiful!! The whole event was absolutely successful and we truly thank Sneha, Karan and team for doing such a fantastic artwork. We would not think twice to approach them for all our future events and recommend them to all who are looking for best event managers in Hyderabad ???? "The Party Waala" They are a team of ..Young!

NextHome expands into South Carolina with NextHome Greater Hilton Head Group
By Imran Poladi — May 04, 2015
Christopher Bowes
Pleasanton, CA— May 4, 2015 — NextHome is proud to announce our newest addition to the franchise, NextHome Greater Hilton Head Group. The brokerage is the first NextHome franchise in the state of South Carolina.
Owned and operated by second generation REALTOR Christopher Bowes, the Bluffton-based brokerage is dedicated to serving the needs of clients in Bluffton, Greater Hilton Head Island, and the Sun City area. With the Sun City Hilton Head being the 2nd largest active adult, age-restricted community in the Southeastern United States, NextHome Greater Hilton Head Group is positioned to be the premier brokerage for seniors relocating to the area.
In 1994, Bowes started working as an agent at his father's real estate brokerage in New Jersey. Building a successful real estate career, he was a top salesperson for nine years before having a heart-to-heart with his wife.
"In 2003, we just had our first child. We wanted to find and relocate to a place where we could improve our quality of life for our family," said Bowes. They didn't have to look for very long before deciding to relocate to the Greater Hilton Head Area in South Carolina. For over 20 years, Bowes and his family took a yearly summer vacation to the South Carolina destination. He was familiar with the area and found it to be the perfect place for his family to grow.
After making the move to South Carolina, Bowes worked with national homebuilder DR Horton as a neighborhood sales agent. That is where he learned the discipline that he credits to his success today.
"Being onsite and having to open the sales office at a certain time, and be working until a specified hour taught me some valuable skills," said Bowes. "The fact that we had goals, game plans and key focus areas, showed me how valuable it was to be structured. It helped me be a better agent."
In 2006, Bowes made the decision to open his own brokerage, Coastal Investment Network, with his business partner, Janis Stewart. The two of them turned the independent brokerage into a powerhouse, working with residential and commercial sales with a focus on 2nd home purchases and investments. They were able to delve into land acquisition and land development – something Bowes became familiar with during his time with DR Horton.
In March of 2015, Bowes was introduced to NextHome via the national magazine article in RIS Media Magazine that featured the franchise.
"I've always wanted to be different than my competition," said Bowes. "As I read more about NextHome in the article, it was a breath of fresh air. It was unlike anything I had ever seen in real estate. As I researched more about the company, the deciding factor for me was the leadership team. To have a team that powerful in which each member is an expert in their own specialty… I had never seen anything like it before."
"I knew that it was the franchise that would help me take my business to the next level," added Bowes.
"Having a fresh, innovative and relevant brand partner with the experience and knowledge of Chris and his team will certainly bring a needed, fresh approach into their market place," said NextHome's Vice President of Sales, Charis Moreno. "Primarily a vacation, retirement or second home market, it is important for NextHome to look to the team with over 10 years of experience to lead the way. Being an avid golfer, Chris understands the focus, drive and dedication to deliver the best each and every time you meet a client or perspective consumer and that is exactly how NextHome approaches our business everyday."
Chris will be joined at NextHome Greater Hilton Head Group with Janis Stewart and his father, Herbert. When not running his brokerage, he loves spending time with his wife Sue, his two daughters Sydney (age 12), Kylie (11) and his son Brady (3).
We are proud to have Chris, Herbert, Janis and NextHome Greater Hilton Head Group as a part of the NextHome family!

Man Killed in Virginia Industrial Accident
Tricities.com reported that a 50-year-old man was killed in an industrial accident at the Helms Candy Co. in Bristol, Virginia. Helms has been in business for over 100 years and makes a variety of candies including stick candies such as lollipops. The cause of the accident was still being reviewed.
In this type of tragic case, the victim's personal representative may be able to bring several types of claims. If the accident was caused by someone other than the employer, then the personal representative can bring a wrongful death claim. These claims require a showing of fault or strict liability, such as a product was not properly designed and the design failure caused the accident. Wrongful death claims benefit the family of the decedent though in somewhat different ways. Sometimes the beneficiaries will be different. Bringing wrongful death claims against third parties requires a skilled personal injury attorney who can explain the laws and investigate why the accident happened.
The family of the decedent will almost certainly bring a workers' compensation claim on behalf of the deceased victim. The state workers' compensation laws normally pay for any reasonable funeral bills and for a percentage of lost income, normally 2/3 of the weekly wages, up to 500 weeks. The primary beneficiaries are any spouse and children who were dependents of the deceased at the time of the accident. The 500 weeks may be paid in one lump sum, but discounted to present value in accordance with Virginia law.

Norfolk workers' compensation lawyer Joe Miller at Joe Miller Law, Ltd., has represented thousands of personal injury and workers' compensation victims in North Carolina and Virginia.

Q: PHP accessing protected constructor I know it is very uncommon to use protected methods or constructors. I have read discussions about this on SO and other sites.
The task I've got is rather simple. I have to access protected methods/constructors from my program. All attributes/methods must be declared as protected.
My code can be reduced to this. I'm basically asked to do this with the easiest/simplest way. All solutions I can think of either use some more advanced technique ("friends" etc) or a public function, which is against the rules.
Thank you.
     class one
        {
         protected $attribute1;
        }

        class two extends one
        {
         protected $attribute2;
         protected $attribute3;
            protected function __construct($arg1, $arg2, $arg3)
         {
          $this->attribute1= $arg1;
          $this->attribute2= $arg2;
          $this->attribute3= $arg3;

            }
        }

$object = new two(" 1", "2", "3");

A: The purpose of a private or protected constructor is to prevent the class from being instantiated from outside of the class.
You could create a public static function in the class that returns a new object, but you cannot create it directly if you want to have the constructor be protected or private.  You must have something declared as public or you cannot use the class.

I am really happy to be back and I would like to thank all my readers who were enjoying my recipes during my absence. The last 15days were hectic with house shifting and traveling. I am at my mom's place now and I prepared these cute and crunchy rolls yesterday. For this month's daring baker's challenge, Sara and Erica of Baking JDs gave the recipe for Tiger bread and asked us to try it out. They gave two bread recipes and a Dutch crunch top recipe. This bread or roll consists of a soft roll or bread with a crunchy rice flour topping. The pattern of the topping is the reason for its name. Isn't it cute? I used my eggless burger bun recipe along with Sara and Erica's Dutch crunch top recipe. The top was so crunchy while the rolls were very soft inside. We thoroughly enjoyed the rolls. I know I am late in posting the recipe but it is better to be late than never. This post will lack all my step wise pictures because I couldn't manage to do it at my Mom's place.
1. In a large bowl mix flour, sugar, yeast, salt and baking powder.
2. Add in curd and butter and mix well.
3. Add warm water and mix a slightly sticky dough.
4. Transfer dough to the counter and knead it for 10 minutes until the dough is soft, smooth and elastic.
5. Oil a bowl and place the dough inside. Roll it to coat it with oil.
6. Cover with cling wrap and allow the dough to rise for 1 hour.
7. When the dough is double in volume, punch the dough to remove air.
8. Divide it into 8 equal parts.
9. Roll each portion into a perfect roll with in your palm.
10. Place the rolls on a greased baking tray 2″ apart.
11. Cover with a towel and allow it to rise for 15 minutes.
1. Mix all the ingredients to form a loose paste.
2. Keep it covered for 15minutes.
1. Beat the topping mixture to remove air.
2. Coat the top of rolls with a generous amount of paste.
3. Let it stand for 20minutes.
4. By the time preheat oven to 180C.
5. Place the tray in the middle rack and bake the rolls until nicely coloured.
6. The top starts ccracking after 5-8minutes of baking.
7. When the top looks golden, remove from oven and cool on wire rack.
8. Serve it with butter/ jam.
10. Place the rolls on a greased baking tray 2" apart.
They look awesome, perfectly done..
The name is so apt. It does look like the giraffe's skin. The cookies would have been crip – it looks so.
Such beautiful results! Nice work. Thanks for joining us this month!
the rolls have come out so well Gayathri. hats off.
Never seen this bread anywhere.
wow awesome dear luv it!
Aaw, I love that the renaming of tiger bread to giraffe bread is catching on – ever since that little girl wrote to sainsburys and told them off because tiger bread doesn't look like tigers – AMAZING.
Your raceipe looks fabulous, I want to give it a go now!

Guyana is a mesmerising land of exotic equatorial rainforests where vast tracks of untamed wilderness await the adventurous travellers. If the grotesque biodiversity is not enough for you, immerse yourself to discover the legend of El Dorado, taste the exclusive Demerara sugar and rum or simply cherish the exquisite piece of work on wood by the locals. Nestling on the northeast part of South America, Guyana is also known as the Land of Many Waters, due to its huge collection of free flowing water bodies, the enormous Kaieteur Falls being the most famous of them all. In fact, the topography of Guyana follows an ascending order. Starting from the low-lying North Atlantic coastlines to the flat and fertile rainforest in the middle, it ends with the heights of part of the Pakaraima range in the extreme interiors.
Officially addressed as the Co-operative Republic of Guyana, it was once inhabited by indigenous Amerindian tribes. During the 17th century reign of the Dutch forces, it was divided into three separated colonies of Berbice, Demerara and Essequibo, which became British Guiana in 1831. Guyana gained full independence on May 26, 1966 and became a Republic in 1970. It is also a founder member of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and houses two of the WWF's Global 200 ecoregions in the world.

Q: read from txt file and convert into dataframe in python I have a txt file as following:

sub_ID: ['sub-01','sub-02']

ses_ID: ['ses-01','ses-01']

mean: [0.3456,0.446]

I want to read this and convert it to a dataframe such as in the image -don't mind the values in mean_e_field column, it's just an example. the values should be the same as in the txt file.
desired dataframe
I tried this and got this however I can't transform it to my prefered df :dataframe
data = pd.read_csv(filename, sep=",", header=None) data
I appreaciate your answers in advance.

A: So, several things here.
The reason why your previous data = pd.read_csv(filename, sep=",", header=None) did not work is that you've indicated that it should separate on , and it treats every single line as a row to be split. So, sub_ID: [ 'sub-01','sub-02' ] is split to sub_ID: ['sub-01' and 'sub-02' ].
The example data you've provided seems to be in YAML format:
sub_ID: [ 'sub-01','sub-02' ]

ses_ID: [ 'ses-01','ses-01' ]

mean: [ 0.3456,0.446 ]

If it were CSV, the data would look as follows (it does not):
sub_ID,ses_ID,mean
sub-01,ses-01,0.3456
sub-02,ses-02,0.445

To read this data into a dataframe, you will either need to preprocess it into another format (e.g. csv) or read it as YAML into a dict and pass that to pandas.DataFrame.
For example:
import yaml
with open("data.txt", "r") as file:
    try:
        # This returns a dict from the given YAML data.
        data = yaml.safe_load(file)
    except yaml.YAMLError as exc:
        print(exc)

print(data)
# {'sub_ID': ['sub-01', 'sub-02'], 'ses_ID': ['ses-01', 'ses-01'], 'mean': [0.3456, 0.446]}

After that, you can create a DataFrame from this dict:
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
df.head()

+-----+--------+--------+--------+
|     | sub_ID | ses_ID |  mean  |
+-----+--------+--------+--------+
|   0 | sub-01 | ses-01 | 0.3456 |
|   1 | sub-02 | ses-02 |  0.446 |
+-----+--------+--------+--------+

as desired.
If you have certain entries that are not valid YAML, you will need to preprocess the data before loading it into pandas.

Tenzin Palmo and the Cave in the Snow
2 years ago Laron G. S. Consciousness
"'For any practice to work,' said Tenzin Palmo 'the mind which is meditating and the object of meditation must merge. Often they are facing each other. One has to become completely absorbed, then the transformation will occur. The awareness naturally drops from the head to the heart — and when that happens the heart opens and there is no 'I'. And that is the relief. When one can learn to live from that center, rather than up in the head, whatever one does is spontaneous and appropriate. It also immediately releases a great flow of energy because it is not at all obstructed as it usually is by our own intervention. One becomes more joyful and light, in both senses of the word, because it's going back to the source, the heart, rather than being in exile in the head. Our modern scientific approach has grown such emphasis on the brain, we're all so cut off. That is why so many people feel life is meaningless and sterile.'"
The above excerpt is from the book, Cave in the Snow, by Vicki Mackenzie. It tells the story of Englishwomen Diane Perry, the daughter of a fishmonger from London, who became a famous Buddhist monk and champion for the rights of women to achieve spiritual enlightenment.
After studying many different religious beliefs, Diane Perry was drawn to Buddhism, while living in London. But it took her a while to recognize that her calling was a specific style of Tibetan Buddhism, which was not so popular when she began her research.
While still in London, the calling she had was to Kargyupa — less known about; Perry heard its name from a voice in her head, something that would begin to occur quite often in her lifetime.
She had to find her teacher — her Lama — which also took some effort, and a lot of travel.
Perry moved to Dalhousie in northern India, near the foot of the Himalayas to work with Tibetan refugees pouring in at that time. Later, the center moved to Dharamsala where the Dalai Lama is now based.
In 1964 while at Dalhousie, she met her Lama, Khamtrul Rinpoche (below). She had fear around looking at him when she first prostrated herself down. When she did though, they immediately recognized each other.
He always said to her "You are my nun," and would laugh in a unique and personal way whenever she came back from her journeys away from the Ashram.
When a high enlightened Lama dies, his body does not decay, but in fact shrinks — even disappears in some cases, except for the hair and nails. In the case of Tenzin Palmo's teacher, the Tibetan name Perry took on, his body shrank to 18 inches in length within a week, and he was a very big man.
After he died he left a card. The words encoded were of his next incarnation's parents. His disciples deciphered this in time. High enlightened lamas are reborn right away. They make a pledge to help those trapped in the cycle of birth and death so they can escape it.
One of Khamtrul Rinpoche's disciples dreamt that he met with the Lama and found the name and place of his rebirth, which was in India.
Using the information from that dream, they searched and did find the baby, bringing him to the Buddhist center.
This was a quiet boy, quite different in nature to his predecessor, but he had the same knowing look. He was three years old when Tenzin Palmo (Diane Perry) first saw him.
She approached the meeting with trepidation thinking that he would be afraid of this strange western woman, and that he would cry.
While prostrating at his feet, the boy laughed the same laugh as her former Lama and said, "Oh look, this is my Nun. That's my Nun!"
He then began giving her his toys, so she spent the whole morning playing and running around with him.
The attending monk said that this was very unusual behavior for him as he was generally very shy and withdrawn with strangers.
In 1976, Tenzin Palmo cut herself off from the world, after entering a remote secluded cave, thirteen thousand feet up in the Himalayas.
She spent twelve years there meditating, while facing the unimaginable cold, avalanches and wild animals, growing her own food and sleeping in a traditional three-foot square meditation box.
Her goal was to attach enlightenment as a woman. This is her story.
In Kathmandu, Tenzin Palmo was given the rare title of Jetsunma back in February 2008 (see the photo at the top), by his Holiness the 12th Gyalwang Drukpa, head of the Drukpa Kagyu lineage. Jetsunma means Venerable Master. This title was in recognition of Palmo's spiritual achievements as a nun and for promoting the status of female practitioners in Tibetan Buddhism.

Why the Older Generation Prefers Shared Housing
in Daily Dose, Featured, Market Studies, News September 5, 2018	747 Views
Shared housing is on the rise especially for adults aged 50 and more, according to AARP's 2018 Home and Community Preferences Survey. The survey found that the share of adults who prefer sharing their home with others has risen from 2 percent in 2014 to 16 percent in 2018.
This, despite the survey finding that three out of four adults in this age group would like to stay in their homes and communities as they age. Seventy-six percent of Americans 50 years and older said that they would prefer to remain in their current residence, while 77 percent would like to live in their community for as long as possible, the survey revealed. However, only 59 percent anticipated that they would be able to stay on in their community, with 46 percent being sure about staying in their current home and 13 percent within the same community but in a different home.
The AARP survey was conducted online and by telephone in March and April of 2018. With a total sample of 2,287 adults, the respondents included a nationally representative sample of adults age 18+, with multicultural oversamples in terms of race, gender, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. AARP said that a portion of the multicultural samples came from the national survey sample.
The survey said that shared housing was a common factor for both younger and older adults. Half of all adults aged 18 and older said they would not consider home sharing or were unsure about it. However, the other half in this age group (58 percent) were open to considering the option if they needed help with everyday activities like household chores or transportation. This was a common refrain among both, the younger and the older age groups.
Most adults surveyed by AARP were homeowners, but one-third of these respondents expected major modifications in their homes to accommodate aging needs. Around 24 percent of the people surveyed said they would rather move to a new area than update their old home to accommodate these needs, the survey indicated.
In terms of what made them choose the communities they live in, AARP found that 60 percent of the adults surveyed said that affordable housing, transportation for people with special needs and fair policies that provided equal opportunties were very important for them while making a decision on where to live.
