Dusseldorf is one of Germany's most populous cities. It is the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia. The city is one of the most influential in the country, and it has become known around the world for its fairs and trade shows, as well as its role as an international business center. The city's population as of the end of 2015 was 612,178.
The most recent population estimation from 2017 comes to 639,407.
This city has a long history, a rich culture, and the many business opportunities offered within this city have made it one of the most livable cities in the world.
The city of Dusseldorf boasts a total surface area of 217.14 square kilometers (83.94 square miles). In combination with the growing population, the population density comes to just around 2,800 individuals per square kilometer.
Over 100,000 Dusseldorf residents are foreign, with many coming to the city because of the employment opportunities it offers.
According to figures from 2017, the largest group of foreign residents is from Turkey. Other foreign groups with numbers in the tens of thousands are from Greece, Poland, Yugoslavia and Italy. There are also thousands of immigrants from Syria, Spain, Morocco, Russia and Iraq.
The city also has one of the largest Jewish populations in the country, as well as the one of the largest populations of Japanese residents in all of Europe.
The dominant age group in Dusseldorf is the 30 to 49 year age range, with over 190,000 individuals. Those aged 50 to 64 years come in with nearly 130,000. The 18 to 29 year age range is next, with just over 97,000 in this age bracket currently.
Dusseldorf began as a collection of fishing and farming settlements near the Dussel River during the 7th and 8th centuries. The name Dusseldorf was mentioned in writing in 1135. Later in the 1100s, the city was ruled by the Counts of Berg. About one hundred years later, in 1288, Dusseldorf was given town privileges. The city was protected by walls throughout the 1300s, and a market was established along the banks of the Rhine River. Other buildings and monuments were erected in the centuries that followed.
After the Napoleonic Wars, the city was stricken by poverty. However, following Napoleon's defeat, the city was given to the Kingdom of Prussia, where its economy was revitalized during the Industrial Revolution. During the late 1800s, the city saw a strong period of population growth. The city was designated as a capital in 1946 and spent the following years rebuilding following the damaging effects of World War II.
Today, Dusseldorf is a leading financial and industrial center. Telecommunications is one of its largest and most prosperous industries. The city is also home to multiple internet companies, auto manufacturers, and headquarters of major companies including Metro, L'Oreal, and Henkel.
Dusseldorf through the years has seen population increases that has made it one of the largest cities in Germany. In the 1800s, the city surpassed the 100,000 resident milestone and in 1962, numbers had jumped to surpass 700,000. After some population declines in the years to follow, Dusseldorf's population began to rise again in the late 1990s and is expected to continue on a path of slow and steady growth in the future.
How Many People Live in Dusseldorf?
Dusseldorf's 2019 population is now estimated at 628,459. In 1950, the population of Dusseldorf was 501,220. Dusseldorf has grown by 18,810 since 2015, which represents a 0.76% annual change. These population estimates and projections come from the latest revision of the UN World Urbanization Prospects. These estimates represent the Urban agglomeration of Dusseldorf, which typically includes Dusseldorf's population in addition to adjacent suburban areas.

At this old age I have realized that I could have become anything ten to fifteen folds as far as my finacial staus is concerned , had I been invested properly during my youth!
My father always used to tell me it is easy to earn money but it is really gard to invest and multiply....which I realize today!
If you ask me how I failed , please start responding to make me open up....so that today's modern youth can learn a lot from my mistakes!
Re: Do You Invest Properly?
My only investment is our home. We used to rent a house for $200 a month and that was really a big cut in our finances. When I had the chance to get a bank loan, we bought this house and struggled to pay the monthly amortization of $300. Now this house is ours and I'd say it is a good investment.
I think I do. In fact my father is the motivational force who suggested me to save at least 30% of my all earning come what may. I am doing it right from my first salary and I know well that I won't have to work for rest of my life.
It is a very good investment that yield a long time profits or sources of income, I am planning to invest on properties very soon.

That I too have been doing but, I repent today that I could have invested in the Gold when it was very cheaper before 2001. I have spend a lot of money on luxurious things at that time and spent a lot of money lavishly. The rate of Gold was 4300/- per 10 gms then and to day it is more than 30,000/-. I was earning quite a good amount then but wasted on many lavish things!
I have to agree that by saving atleast 50% of the income whatever that amount is. It can save you from the financial issues in near future. That's what I have learned from my experience.

That is very true as the value of rupee in India is getting crashed day by day and the rate of interest by the banks too! So in future the hard earned and saved money may not be of great help to us unless it is in some substantial amount!

Yes, owning a house is the best investment one can make. I wish I had invest properly when I was very young - I'm trying to make up for it now.

That varies from person to person, I have git a small house in my home town and I am working for a farm where I am provided with an accommodation. To maintain my house at my home town today I am paying to two care takers, I am paying electricity bills, I am paying water bills and also the Corporation tax eveery year, though I hardly spend a month or so there in that house. i feel that this investment of mine has gone waste for me!
Agree. That's what my father did too, he only invested in land.
Me, too little capital for investment currently, would try to pick up and make more saving towards this direction.
I feel like am a bit younger to start investing because am just done with school and yet you find a job.
ruthmongare wrote: I feel like am a bit younger to start investing because am just done with school and yet you find a job.
Despite that, Please listen to me saving at young age will keep your rest of life happy and enjoyable! It is our control and metal make up! Once you get the hang , Believe me you will start enjoying the savings as they give you a lot of confidence in your life! Stay blessed !
I am wondering if the regular stock purchased if it can prove to earn some good money. I don't know if there are any long term stocks that can be purchased and keeps earning. It's not easy from what I have seen.
I never had the chance to save because I don't have much to save. Honestly, my money goes to our expenses which most of it goes to the education of my kids. Now I am nearly finished with their schooling and hopefully I can save a little amount for myself before retiring.

I hope you must be getting help from the Government after retirement in the form of pension? Though in in India there is a scheme like this I really have no idea how far that is working successfully and what are the formalities needed to get such old age pension!

All bets are on
By Patrick Stevens The Washington Times - October 2, 2008, 12:19PM
The best source of humor this week in College Park – well, besides cut-up Dean Muhtadi, who's always going to generate laughs – is pretty much anyone on Maryland's roster who attended DeMatha or Good Counsel.
The DeMatha crew includes Jeff Allen, Kenny Tate, Edwin Williams and Anthony Wiseman. Good Counsel is represented by Deege Galt, Tommy Galt and Drew Gloster. And they'll all be keeping an eye on tonight's game, which will be televised at 6:30 on ESPN2.
Of course there is trash talk. There's always trash talk. But I asked Williams on Tuesday if there happened to be a wager in play as well.
"Got a little side bet with Tommy, but I don't know if I'm going to take it yet," Williams said. "Something about wearing his high school jersey. I don't know how much I'd like the gold and blue on me."
Now that's pretty juicy, at least from a sheer pride standpoint. But Williams was hemming and hawing about the possibility even after practice last night, even if he acknowledged the payoff would be pretty sweet.
"That would be heaven," Williams said. "That's why I probably will take it. I'm not sure yet. I'll have to get with coach [Bill] McGregor and see what the game plan is. I'm not really pressed about this game. Of course, it is the ESPN national spotlight and you want to show, but it really matters in the playoffs, in the championship."
Finally, an answer was found just after 7 last night. Deege Galt came in with the news; Allen and Williams were in on the bet from the DeMatha side, while the Galt brothers would handle things for Good Counsel.
Here's the deal: The loser wears the other team's jersey to breakfast, class, meetings and dinner one day during the bye week. Deege Galt promises there will be pictures to commemorate the deal.
"We just shook on it," a clearly enthused Galt said. "Edwin and Jeff were skeptical because they knew we'd kick their ass. We just made it official. The handshake was made."
Turtle Sports Report's Seth Hoffman – who will no doubt have much more on this game than me over on TSR's premium site – then asked a really curious question: Which Galt brother would be stuck wearing Allen's jersey. Deege Galt is a defensive lineman, Tommy Galt is a tight end and Allen is a safety.
"I am," Deege said. "It's OK. I'm going on a diet if we lose. I don't think I'll be able to squeeze into it by Monday."
I'll be swamped with stuff this evening, so I won't get over to a game that's apparently sold out already. But there will probably be a few hints available during the bye week as to how things play out.
"If you guys come in next week and see Edwin walking around in a Good Counsel jersey, you'll know what went down," Tommy Galt said.

Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls Review (Vita)
Sean Kromrey
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls – Launch Trailer
Developer: Spike Chunsoft
Publisher: NIS America
Main Review
Review Context: Having played the previous two Danganronpa games and loving their visual novel/point and click style of play, I was interested in this new third person shooter formula.
Date of Playthrough: September 2015
Now we often find series of games branch off to new horizons as they try to reinvent or give a new experience to their fanbase. Megaman X had a shift from 2D sidescroller to 3D, which was not well received because it bogged down the formula and made the game feel sluggish, as well as the addition of Axl, making it seem like X was obsolete. On the other hand, the creators of Ico devised a completely different game in the form of Shadow of the Colossus. Here we see genius in motion so to speak, taking the puzzle aspects of Ico and merely adapting them into complex and intense fights against giant colossi. Here we have two different series with two different reactions to their shifts in focus. Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls descends from its original visual novel/point and click adventure style for a third person shooter. Will it follow the path of the disliked 3D Megaman X games, or will it shine much like the Shadow of the Colossus? This is what needs to be addressed when looking at this beast.
Now this is supposed to take place in between the first and second games and expand upon the world of Danganronpa, delving more into its history. You play as Komaru Naegi, Makoto's younger sister, as she is thrown into a horrible situation after being kidnapped and locked away. You are being hunted by the Warriors of Hope, homicidal children who wish to build their own paradise without adults. This type of personalized story where the focus is on a smaller cast of two (Toko Fukawa and Komaru Naegi), is something not done in the series previously. The story of this game delves more into the world of Danganronpa, building up to the third installment of the game, so this should be the last one played of the three already in the series.
This time Danganronpa didn't hold back, as it is most certainly the most vulgar and gory one in the series, with a lot of depressing themes wrapped into its cheery psychopathic feel. I feel this is how they desired the world to be like, broken down with no morals, with fear and sadness reigning supreme. This is probably the most adult Danganronpa world we've seen, but in there can lie some issues with how people can take it. This isn't as easy to take as the last two games, and delves into themes and emotions I'm certain would be hard on most if they take it seriously, and that is where they shine. It is depressing and thematically great, with a great story rivaling Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.
The reason why this game works so well is attributed to both its depressing themes and its great characters who you can't help but dislike, or just feel plain uncomfortable around. Many of these characters are cowards, sociopaths, and potentially heroes, but for the most part they will be unlikable. This is why it will be hard to get into this game, it lacks early on a likable cast. Now don't get me wrong, the characters are great and fit perfectly into the situation and the world, with the aesthetics really playing to the acid trip that is Danganronpa. It will just be harder to wrap one's head around when you see broken adults crying and raving about how they want to kill the psychopathic children for having killed their family. This world is messed up and I love how these characters fit really well into it. The character arcs of Komaru Naegi and Toko Fukawa are some of the best I've seen in the series and make it all worthwhile in the end.
The unique aspect that is game changing in Ultra Despair Girls is the new mechanic, the third person shooter elements. From here we get a new brand of complexity to the game, removing the point and click and visual novel adventure mechanics completely. There is no variety to the third person shooter mechanics, like cover or crouching or anything of the like, with the only versatility being in the "truth bullets" this time around. Truth Bullets are not like those used in previous games, but instead are fired from a hacking gun that is created from a bullhorn. Weird weapon? Yes, but it is Danganronpa so it is to be expected. This weapon is what is fun about the third person shooter side of Ultra Despair Girls. Each different bullet gives a sense of strategy and panic, as you constantly switch between different bullets depending on the situation. It also teaches you about ammo management, as going crazy and firing wildly will cause you to be without a way to destroy the Monokuma. This is the only thing I found remotely fun about the third person elements.
The inherent problem I have about this third person shooter incorporation is how bare bones it is. There is no shifting of movement; you are always standing up and feels sluggish even when running sometimes. The level design and enemy variation make up for the lack of actual gameplay in these sections, as they allow you various vantage points and ways to avoid or take out Monokumas. The puzzle sections could have been a tad bit more challenging, as it most certainly feels like child's play (no pun intended). There is next to no difficulty completing the puzzles in the Monoku-man games and the challenges given to you by the children. What I do give them credit for is that they are good practice for learning the new bullets' capabilities.
There is a weird element to the game, and it comes in the form of Genocider Jack. Now you can play as Jack only when you have battery power, and you are invincible and extremely fast in this form. It is basically either an overpowered form for getting out of trouble, or a McGuffin to save you from death with a quick time event. This isn't the most well thought out ability of the game and lacks weakness, other than the time you can spend in it, but that can be easily changed with abilities. It is fun though to play as your retired friendly neighborhood serial killer and go nuts in certain situations to tear up some Monokuma.
They add RPG elements to the game as you level up after destroying enough Monokumas or completing some tasks. This can increase points used to equip abilities you find and obtain during the game. The abilities are somewhat useful, but more often than not the only good abilities are the ones that increase health. The rest are just nice little adjustments to pick-ups, or to slow down your speed, or ramp up your speed of turning; things that can help with little inconveniences. Then comes the attachments to equipment like the bling for the hacking gun or power-ups to the Genocider Jack mode. The hacking gun only has two slots for bling to be placed on each bullet available for upgrading and those bling can be paired to have good and even excellent combos which give an extra boost. They increase the effectiveness, amount of ammo, and the range and width of each shot, so it is advised to use for increasing your attacks. Genocider Jack's upgrades just make her mode a bit more overpowered than before and isn't essential in the slightest. Where the abilities feel lackluster, the bling makes a significant difference in ammo management and the effectiveness of bullets.
There is a lot to learn about this crazy world and the characters introduced this time around. To make it more enticing, the visual style and music are as strong and as distinct as ever. It has a childish flair to the city in the latter half, and each zone feels like it has a transition over the course of the story. The lighting plays a distinct role in the effectiveness of some areas, as despair and hope often play pivotal roles in how the lighting plays into the characters emotions. The music is as crazy and diverse as the previous games, with its techno style and unique new theme, which is addicting to say the least. There is nothing in this game aesthetically that doesn't have a place, and the games cinematic cutscenes have variety so that one does not get bored. Each character has a CGI model which is really well detailed, that will often have animation for the scenes where they talk in cinematics. Not only that, but key moments to the story have a little extra touch and are completely animated which feel great.
The problem comes in the form of two things: length and load times. The length of cutscenes at times feel too long and it feels as if it is trying to emulate its visual novel roots, but it is bogged down by that very aspect. Also the time between cinematic talks and gameplay are too short, as you walk for a few seconds, only to be thrown into another cinematic. The load times and frame rate issues show from time to time, but doesn't present a problem, as everything still ran smoothly for the most part. These little problems are what hold back the game technically for me, but nothing slowed down the momentum enough to stop me from playing.
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls is a strong game in the series for its writing, story, characters, atmosphere, world-building, and some interesting elements to ramp up the gameplay. While there is a pro, there is always a con. To answer the original question in the beginning, I feel like Ultra Despair Girls is on the line between Shadow of the Colossus levels of innovation and Megaman X7. Sure there are some elements that could've used more innovation than others, but for the most part, this game is completely solid and amazing at expanding the world of Danganronpa. It is a fantastic outing of the friendship built between two girls as they overcome the despair ridden Towa City, and I for one feel like it deserves to be played if you are a fan of the series and played the previous two games.

Holly Lin has a new life. A new identity. It's been almost a year since she walked away from being a non-sanctioned government assassin. She now lives in a small Texan town, spending her nights as a bartender, her days shelving books at the local library.
But it all changes one night when she's approached by a woman covered in blood — a woman holding a baby. Within minutes, the baby has been placed in Holly's arms and the woman is dead, killed by two men.
Soon Holly Lin will learn a hard truth: the world she walked away from hasn't forgotten her. And it will do whatever it takes to get her back.

A LOCAL teenager unwittingly became a valuable aide to help steer the US to joint leadership after the World Cup first round.
American Kevin Streelman credited young Royal Melbourne member Darcy Brereton's knowledge of the course as a critical factor in his five-under 66 yesterday.
Brereton, 19, was just another spectator when he met Streelman during a practice round on Tuesday and then caddied for him during the pro-am the following day.
"We picked his brains where to leave shots and he knew every break on these greens. He's a good kid who wants to be a professional golfer as well. So, we invited him along. It's all about relationships and he picked our brains about that and he showed us around the course,'' Streelman said.
The fresh-faced Brereton, a +1 handicapper, is working for Cobra-Puma golf during a gap year after completing his VCE at St Bedes College in Mentone and he walked with the American again yesterday.
"Myself and a mate decided to go out one morning and we decided to follow Kevin. We got talking to him and he started asking about the course,'' Brereton said.
Streelman, on his first visit to Australia, heeded the advice to keep the ball below the hole on the quickening greens for the low round matched only by experienced Dane Thomas Bjorn.
Welshman Stuart Manley, Korea's K.J. Choi and Scot Martin Laird are a shot further back at -4, one clear of Day after his three-under 68 became crucial restoration work for the host nation.
With sun and wind increasing the pace of the greens compared to last week's Masters, only 12 of the 60 players managed to break par.
Bjorn rekindled his love affair with Royal Melbourne for the first time since missing the halfway cut at the Heineken Classic in February, 2005.
And he's still in awe of the famed Composite course despite a four-putts double bogey from 8m at the 401m fourth. It was one of four other doubles and 17 bogeys on the treacherous green that slopes from back to front.
The 42-year-old Dane said he was still excited to get out of bed to prepare to tackle the daunting course at Black Rock.
"In my eyes, it's the finest golf course you could play. I could play it for the rest of my life,'' he said.
"It's one golf course where you've got to play really smart. The key is you can make a lot happen on the first six holes and then it turns very tricky.
"You're hitting wedge and nine-iron (approach shots) and you're hitting 20 feet away from the hole because this golf course will bite you if you get too cute.
Adam Scott struggles on the opening day of the World Cup of Golf finishing four-over par, while fellow Aussie Jason Day fares better posting a first round 68.

Residents win major victory
Exclusionary Corridor Plan Provisions Eliminated
Board Declines to Use Affordable Housing Language
With a 5–0 vote February 8, 2010 the River Forest Village Board adopted its Corridor Plan without the exclusionary "Land Use Conversion Opportunities" that threatened to remove 200 units of scarce affordable housing along Harlem Avenue between Oak and Chicago Avenue and between LeMoyne and North Avenue. The village trustees declined the opportunity to clearly state that they decided to make no changes to the "land use pattern" along Harlem Avenue in order to preserve housing affordable to households with modest incomes. They did, however, remove the language that suggested that no changes were recommended because it was just too difficult to put the deals together to redevelop the affordable housing.
Click here to see the language adopted for the key page 77. Click here to view or download a PDF file of the plan as adopted. It's 18 MB in size.
The village's planning consultant who created the exclusionary "Land Use Conversion Opportunities" that would have replaced 200 units of affordable rentals and condominiums with condominiums that would cost more than three times as much as the current dwellings argued vigorously against including any language about affordable housing. He did, however, support a village wide discussion of affordable housing to which the board appears to have committed itself.
The board made these changes thanks to the efforts of about 70 residents who attended the Village Board's January 19 meeting to speak out against these exclusionary provisions. This extraordinary and very articulate group of citizens made a strong case to the village trustees that the village's plan should not target their homes for replacement. At that meeting the River Forest Village Board unanimously directed staff to remove the objectionable "Land Use Conversion Opportunities" from the proposed River Forest Corridors Plan which would have eliminated 200 units of scarce affordable housing. Click on the links in the left hand column to see the revised pages or the entire revised plan. Members of the Village Board who were present also seemed to accept a need to review the village's plans for their impact on existing housing affordable to teachers, village employees, librarians, seniors, and recent college graduates.
The revised plan included language on page 77 that made it sound like the village was not recommending redevelopment of these areas on Harlem because it was simply too difficult to assemble the land. Citizens sought instead to have these revisions on page 77 more accurately explain why the plan now recommends maintaining the land use pattern along Harlem: namely to preserve housing current residents can afford.
Speakers suggested that the last three sentences in the second paragraph on page 77 should be changed to read:
"The houses, apartments, and condominiums along Harlem provide essential housing in River Forest that is affordable to teachers, librarians, retired seniors, our children coming out of college, village employees, retail workers, college students, people with disabilities, and others who have modest incomes. To preserve this irreplaceable housing, the Plan recommends maintaining the existing land use pattern and existing housing in the Harlem Avenue corridor."
Urged on by their planning consultant, the trustees declined to adopt this language or any language about preserving affordable housing. No trustee at its February 8 meeting voiced any support for preserving affordable housing. They made it clear that they removed the language because 70 people showed up in protest.
Clearly there's a long way to go to educate the village board (and plan commission) about the need to preserve existing housing that households with modest incomes can afford.
"River Forest Matters" will be a place to keep track of what's happening with village discussions of affordable housing so you can participate in those discussions — otherwise the voices of exclusion and discrimination will succeed at maintaining the village's current plan and zoning provisions that seek to eliminate existing affordable housing and prevent the development of any new affordable housing.
The scoop on the January 19 meeting
All but one resident spoke in favor of removing the so–called "Land Use Conversion Opportunities" (LUCOs) from the plan. These LUCOs targeted the River Forest Garden Condominiums (on Harlem between Oak and Chicago avenues) and the apartments and condos on Harlem between North Avenue and LeMoyne for replacement by mixed–use retail and much higher priced condominiums (click here to see the specific plans). If the plan were implemented, River Forest would lose around 200 units of scarce and irreplaceable housing affordable to the members of the middle class. Click here for a PDF file with information about the scarcity of affordable housing in the Chicagoland area.
The dozens of residents who spoke presented articulate, forceful but respectful, heartfelt and heartwarming testimony. In the 23 years we've lived in River Forest, we have never seen such a strong turnout on any issue; nor have we seen speakers present such a collectively superb set of testimony.
At the end of the public testimony, the 5 trustees present (President Rigas, trustees Gibbs, Winitakes, Conti, and Adduci) went around the table and voiced their views. They unanimously agreed to remove the two "Land Use Conversion Opportunities" from the plan and instead clearly state that the plan recommends maintaining the current land use patterns along Harlem. In plain language, they agreed to what the citizens sought. The full Village Board voted to adopt the revised Corridors Plan at its February 8 meeting.
Looking at the bigger picture too
And they appeared to recognize that the preservation of housing affordable to households with modest incomes is important and that the village needs to revisit the question and establish a policy. So continued monitoring and participation by a broad range of citizens will be needed. My guess is that this will proceed slowly since the village has a serious budget crisis to resolve before it can do anything else.

The two-page piece about low-equity cooperatives describes the nation's most successful effort to preserve housing at an affordable level in perpetuity.

See a professional city planner's perspective of what was wrong with the draft plan and why it had to be changed according to a 23–year River Forest resident who has served as President of the American Planning Association and American Institute of Certified Planners.
Original article urging people to attend the January 19 village board meeting appears immediately below:
At the 7:00 p.m. start of its Tuesday, January 19 meeting the River Forest Village Board will hear from residents and discuss the Corridors Plan that threatens to replace much of the village's affordable housing with much higher density mixed use projects with much more expensive condos current residents could not afford. A huge crowd will be needed to get these exclusionary proposals removed from the plan.
The Village Board will be meeting as a "committee of the whole," a more informal setting that allows for more interaction and discussion with residents. The Corridors Plan will be the first item on the agenda. This is the best opportunity to show the village trustees that pages 77-79 of the Commercial Corridors Plan should be deleted now.
Pages 77-79 call for replacing the condos and apartments on Harlem between Chicago and Oak ("River Forest Garden Condominiums") and between North and Le Moyne with higher density and more expensive condos plus retail. Such high intensity use is incompatible with the adjacent single–family homes on Bonnie Brae — and will eliminate the housing the current residents can afford for more expensive condominiums. The plan calls these "Land Use Conversion Opportunities."
In November the River Forest Plan Commission voted unanimously to approve the plan unchanged and recommend that the Village Board adopt the plan as is despite 15 citizens asking the Plan Commission to delete these pages from the Corridors Plan.
After its January 19 "committee as a whole" meeting, the Village Board will vote on the plan at a formal Village Board meeting where it will be important to come out in force again.
The village's planning consultant correctly asserted that the plan does not recommend that the demolition of these homes and their redevelopment take place now. The plan calls for implementation of these proposals if the opportunity presents itself.
Endorsement of these proposals gives the village's stamp of approval to a developer who seeks to redevelop these properties. It means such a proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan — a key standard for approving such a development.
The only way to prevent the loss of these homes is to get the Village Board to remove pages 77-79 from the plan. That's what residents must seek when they speak at the village board meetings where the plan will be up for adoption.

Q: Inner for loop is ignored after first iteration, outer for loop works just fine I have a program that needs to read a CSV file called PartsList.csv. It looks at the first column, compares it with a dictionary that was made before this snip of code runs, and if the first column matches it, it will take the value from the key-value pair that was compared, use that as a key in dictionary catd{} and set the value as an empty tuple. Then it takes the empty tuple, is converted into a list into the variable holder, the value in the second column is appended to the list, and is converted back into a tuple as a value for the previously mentioned key. However, the problem I'm having is that after iterating once, it completely ignores the inner for loop. It makes the keys I need it to make, but because the inner for loop is ignored, it doesn't generate the values for it. I don't know what the problem is, so any help is appreciated.
Here is the relevant code:
md = {}  #  This is the mentioned dictionary. The values share names with the first column of the CSV.
catd = {}
itemd = {}
holder = ()

with open('PartsList.csv') as csv_file:
    mct = 1
    act = 1
    csv_reader = csv.reader(csv_file, delimiter=',')
    print(len(md))
    for x in range(0, len(md)):
        line_count = 0
        catd[str(md["MCat{0}".format(mct)])] = ()
        for row in csv_reader:
            if md['MCat{0}'.format(mct)] == row[0]:
                holder = list(catd[str(md["MCat{0}".format(mct)])])
                holder.append(str(row[1]))
                catd[str(md['MCat{0}'.format(mct)])] = tuple(holder)
                print(catd)
                print(row[1])
            else:
                line_count += 1
        holder = ()
        mct += 1
        print(x)

print(catd)

Thank you for your help!

A: The question has been solved, as @0x5453 mentioned, using csv_file.seek(0) resets the starting point to the beginning, stopping the issue of the iterator csv_file being empty.

Ripple Announces Middle East Partnership, Says XRP Will be Used
Source: iStock / isa_ozdere
US-based fintech company ripple It announced that it will deploy an on-demand liquidity (ODL) solution based on XRP in the Middle East in partnership with a local company, as the first application of its kind in the region.
The new ODL will be launched in partnership with a blockchain company in the Middle East PyyplIt will initially focus on bringing low-cost remittances to the UAE through "using ODL and leveraging XRP," Ripple said.
Moreover, the two companies said that Ripple's ODL solution will reduce "inefficient use of capital" by eliminating "costly pre-funded accounts" usually required for cross-border payments.
Brooks Entwistle, RippleNet's managing director for the region, was quoted as saying: "The MENA region remains an important region for Ripple thanks to its outstanding client list, a welcoming regulatory environment and a regional focus on the improvements needed in the existing financial system." saying in the ad.
According to a report from a consulting firm McKinseyThe Middle East is home to two of the world's three largest remittance corridors, located in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. The two countries collectively saw payments of $78 billion in 2020, which is 7% of the two countries' GDP.
Ripple's announcement stressed that "XRP will not be held within the UAE," while also saying that transactions will not include the national currency, the AED, "as part of the payments flow."
This week's announcement from Ripple follows an announcement in July that the company was setting up a remittance corridor between Japan and the Philippines.
Despite the promising near-instant settlement at low costs, Ripple has struggled in the past to get its partners to use XRP for liquidity. One of the major Spanish banks has been among the partners that have been reluctant to use XRP in the past Santander He pointed out that the token does not have the required liquidity in enough markets to support their needs.
According to Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, the issue is not liquidity, but rather the uncertainty in the US about whether or not XRP will be classified as collateral.
At 15:34 UTC, XRP is ranked seventh in terms of market capitalization and is trading at $1.02 which is down 8% on the day and 6% on the week.

A little explanation may be in order. My parents have an iSight camera and when we think about it, we do some videoconferencing so they can see Ben in action and talk at him. He's starting to get the idea that he can interact with them. My in-laws just upgraded from dial-up to cable modem service and they now have an iSight, too.
This morning, talking to my dad, Ben was playing with various things, like sticky notes and brand-name colored wheat dough, and he suddenly came up to our LCD and pushed a wooden hamburger bun at it. I thought he was playing with the screen and asked him to stop. He came back with the bun a couple times, and I realized he was trying to feed my dad. I asked him if he could give grandpa a chicken leg, and off he went to get the pretend chicken leg, and tried to offer it.
Little did he know my dad is a vegetarian.

RAMANAGAR — We drove out about 50 kilometers south and west of Bangalore to see a busted "silk city" and a social "silver bullet" in action. Vibha Pinglé, an Indian-American scholar and activist is our guide. Ubuntu-at-Work is her NGO, with roots in the US and other branches in South Africa. It opened its sewing workshop in Ramanagar less than a year ago, one of its far-flung experiments in green manufacturing and global design for a world market. The real inspiration in Ubuntu's third-floor community space in Ramanagar is the conviction that women's empowerment through training and sustainable work is the ready remedy for over-population, family inequities, hunger, hopelessness and poverty, for starters.
About a dozen graceful ladies in the collective are a glimpse of the proud poverty everywhere to be seen in India. At present, the women say, they are subsisting on cash incomes in the range of $2 dollars a day. Ubuntu's commitment is to give them each a personal stake in the production of embroidered fashions from international designers for stores in Europe and the States. The second big promise is to give the women work at home, not factory, to sustain motherhood and family life at the same time.
You can hear a lot in this visit about the indirect ways even of silver bullets. Women speak, for example, of residual family pressures to stay at home; and of the habitual payment of bribes for government jobs, and the interest payments on loans required to finance the bribes. A lot of these women are paying loan-shark rates (5 percent per month!) for their own or their children's education – even when they call it microfinance.
Yet my other big impression from a morning in the needlework collective is that the quiet confidence they're after is palpably here now. There's laughter and warmth among the women that smashes our equation of poverty with unhappiness. These feel like connected, resourceful, family folk, with long experience at making do – no matter that we call them impoverished. I left their workshop wondering: is this why people say: India will grow, but it will never have a social revolution?


El Hoyo is a very popular hike, with a trademark hole (fumeral) at the top. You get a very close view of Asososca Volcano and Lagoon, Managua Lake and Momotombo Volcano, and the Pacific Ocean. You should be medium level for this hike.
We leave León at 5am and drive around 1 hour to the starting point of the hike. We then hike for around 4 hours to the top of the volcano. At the top you will have plenty of time to relax, and take some photos of the stunning views.
After walking back down (around 3 hours), we have lunch at Asososca Lagoon, surrounded by nature, with the breathtaking view of the lagoon.
Optional: Camping overnight at Asososca Lagoon ($25 each, including camping equipment, dinner and breakfast).


BRATTLEBORO—Workforce development. Economic development. Revenue generation. Those three topics are what drive state Rep. Valarie A. Stuart, D-West Brattleboro, to run for her fifth term in the Vermont House.
"At the end of the day, I think it's about people feeling good about their lives. Being able to feed their families. Going to a job. Pulling a Paycheck. Being able to put a house over their heads," she said.
She feels sad witnessing Vermonters struggle with poverty.
"We need to rebuild the middle class in this country — it's always been our hope," she said.
Stuart represents the Windham 2-1 district — essentially, West Brattleboro. She currently serves on the House Committee on Commerce and Economic Development.
Stuart remembers even in high school wanting to do something to change the world and improve people's lives. Working in the Legislature is a way to do that.
"It's a big challenge but it's also a big opportunity," she said.
"This has been eight years of almost graduate school in civic engagement," she joked.
If reelected, Stuart wants to continue her work focusing on job creation, workforce development, and increasing the state's — and Vermonters' — income. It's a lack of these items that Stuart sees as the root cause of many sad struggles for Vermont families.
Vermont needs to support the people who live here with better wages, Stuart said. The state also needs to attract and keep young people.
Attracting new Vermonters while supporting current residents is one reason Stuart also supports the state's efforts to market Vermont.
According to Stuart, she helped spearhead a marketing program targeting young people living in the state. The program built students' understanding of skills employers are seeking now so that students can access the estimated 4,000 jobs currently open across the Green Mountains.
According to Stuart, the campaign aims to stake out Vermont's territory as an "innovative, green, and clean" state where people want to build businesses and raise families.
In her view, she brings multiple talents to her work in the Legislature. These include innovative thinking, creativity, and problem solving. She feels qualified to communicate with others and to be there for voters.
She worked in the design world and marketing before moving to Vermont. Collaborating on projects with other creative people strengthened her own natural problem-solving and creative skills, Stuart said.
Stuart said she comes from "humble roots." She thanks her parents and husband for their support.
If voters send her back to Montpelier in January, Stuart hopes to also continue her work in other areas, such as childcare, economic development, and climate change.
Vermont needs to make childcare accessible and affordable, she said. That way, women can work and be sure their children are in safe hands. Stuart noted that she herself worked full-time when her children were small.
"I'd really like it to be easier for other people than it was for me," she said.
Workforce development is a key issue for Stuart. She wants to create programs for students that would help them receive the education and training they need to flourish in the job market.
According to Stuart, Vermont has 3,000 recent graduates who, every year, stay in Vermont.
Stuart seeks to develop apprenticeship programs and certificate programs that offer alternatives to a four-year college degree.
"Not everybody needs a four-year degree, but there are a lot of people who could get a two-year degree," she said.
Until the "dust settles" from Act 46 and other education issues, Stuart doubts the state will make funds for technical training a priority.
"All problems are solvable with enough time and energy and focus, but we've been focusing on the problem of enrollment going down and costs going up," she said.
Reducing the harmful impacts of climate change is also close to Stuart's heart.
Stuart said she serves on the House's Climate Solutions Caucus. She says she has generated the ideas behind "several successful initiatives" around climate change.
For example, she claims credit for generating the idea that eventually became the Vermont Council on Rural Development's three-day "Catalysts of a Climate Change Economy" conference held last year in Burlington.
According to Stuart, the summit drew 500 investors and entrepreneurs to the state last fall.
Her work around finding solutions to climate change won her recognition from Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility as a "Climate Change Solutions Champion" last year.
Stuart's work on helping to build gun legislation in the current session also received recognition. Gun Sense Vermont awarded her a Certificate of Appreciation.
Stuart also expresses pride for her efforts to raise awareness of the economic disparities in the state.
Early in her legislative career, Stuart supported a concurrent House/Senate Poverty Awareness Day Resolution. Then governor, Peter Shumlin, proclaimed April 1 as Poverty Awareness Day in Vermont.
"I believe that the best way to safeguard our state's future is to grow our population, create jobs, and educate our workforce to do the jobs of today and tomorrow," she concluded.
Stuart is running in one of several contested races in Windham County. In the Aug. 14 Democratic Primary, she squares off against newcomer Emilie Kornheiser.
When asked how Stuart and her opponent may be similar, or, how they may be different, Stuart had little to say.
"I'm not really sure, I don't really know what Emilie's platform is," Stuart said.
According to Stuart, she had never heard from her opponent until she learned Kornheiser would run against her.
Stuart guessed she and Kornheiser agree on core issues around childcare and workforce development.
For her part, Stuart said that she does everything with her whole heart and gives it all she's got.
"I'm quite intelligent and I'm an innovative thinker," she said.
Creative thinkers are needed to solve the issues facing Windham County and Vermont, she added.
"I think my core values are really strong," Stuart said.
"I'm a brave person and I've always fought hard for the things I believe in," she said.

At the most fundamental level, management is a discipline that consists of a set of five general functions: planning, organizing, staffing, leading and controlling. These five functions are part of a body of practices and theories on how to be a successful manager.
Traditional organizational structures come in four general types – functional, divisional, matrix and flat – but with the rise of the digital marketplace, decentralized, team-based org structures are disrupting old business models.
Improves Understanding – From the knowledge of principles managers get indication on how to manage an organization. The principles enable managers to decide what should be done to accomplish given tasks and to handle situations which may arise in management. These principles make managers more efficient.
Originally identified by Henri Fayol as five elements, there are now four commonly accepted functions of management that encompass these necessary skills: planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. 1 Consider what each of these functions entails, as well as how each may look in action.
A good organization has a clearly defined purpose and cultivates the attitude that purpose is more important than process. That means that supervisors stay focused on how effective employees are in doing their job, not just whether or not they followed procedure to the letter.
The organization can be classified on the basis of authority and responsibility assigned to the personnel and the relationship with each other. In this way, an organization can be either formal organization or informal organization. Both formal organization and informal organization are explained below.
Three forms of organizations describe the organizational structures that are used by most companies today: functional, departmental and matrix. Each of these forms has advantages and disadvantages that owners must consider before deciding which one to implement for their business.
: occurring between or involving two or more organizations (such as businesses or associations) interorganizational cooperation.
The three types of organizational relationships which are the focus of this research are intra-organizational, organization-customer and business cluster. … The result of this study, in general, supports both the positive role of trust and social capital in achieving desired organizational outcomes.
1. Helps to Create a Clearer Picture of the Goals within Each Department. Organization management helps managers to split roles within each department. And in doing so, each department will have a better understanding of their function and resources needed.
1. Organization's business is to connect works and staff of an institution. 1. Management's aim is to manage the work done by others according to specific ethics.
An organization relationship is a one-to-one relationship between businesses to allow users in each organization to view calendar availability information. … The external organization may set up the same or different settings on their side.
It helps in Achieving Group Goals – It arranges the factors of production, assembles and organizes the resources, integrates the resources in effective manner to achieve goals. It directs group efforts towards achievement of pre-determined goals. This leads to efficacy in management. …

Canada's history is one of successive waves of people arriving on its shores, each having to find their place among those who preceded them. In the early 21st century, perhaps Canada's most defining characteristic is the broad diversity of cultures and peoples; this is widely seen elsewhere as a success story, and at home a source of pride for many. But what does it mean to be a citizen of a country that is increasingly populated by people arriving from so many other countries around the world?
In partnership with the Institute for Canadian Citizenship, the Maytree Foundation, CBC News, and with the support of RBC, the Environics Institute conducted a groundbreaking national survey of Canadians on citizenship issues. This research provides a definitive picture of how ordinary Canadians view citizenship today (e.g., what it means to be a "good citizen"), and how their concept of citizenship shapes their understanding of their rights, responsibilities, loyalties, and identities.
2. How comfortable are Canadians with the state of citizenship in this country?
3. How do the views of native-born and foreign-born Canadians compare?
The research was publicly released in February 15, 2012 through extensive coverage on the CBC.
The project is now launching a second phase that builds on a key finding from the research – that citizenship comes through actions not a legal status. Canadians across the country will be invited to tell their own story about what it is they do that makes them feel like a citizen of this country. Stay tuned for further details.

In the same season the FDA is raiding brilliant and creative compounding pharmacologist pharmacists for make natural tailored hormones, we see the FDA approve a transdermal medication that compounders have offered for decades. What is wrong with this picture?
The FDA has finally approved Emsam, a brand of selegiline, as a daily patch antidepressant. The patch will deliver this monoamine oxidase inhibitor antidepressant directly into the blood and will bypass the gut. It is nice that the FDA has decided to approve a medication that is already approved in oral form in a transdermal delivery form, especially since compounders are putting just about every medication through the skin for decades. One has the feeling this is perceived as real cutting-edge medicine. But compounding pharmacists do this routinely.
MAOI's like Manerix are not in the USA, but are in virtually all other civilized counties. This very special MAOI allows someone to eat any type of food.
The weakest Emsam 6 mg patch does not carry the typical dietary restrictions that are necessary when using oral MAO inhibitors. But some feel the 9 mg and 12 mg sized would require a patient to limit certain foods or drinks – highly fermented meats and drinks such as soy sauce, red wines, lunch meats, avoid aged cheese, aged or cured meats such as air-dried sausage, Marmite, sauerkraut, soy bean condiments, tap beer and fava beans. This amino acid can trigger severely high blood pressure that is dangerous.
Transdermal selegiline relieved depressive symptoms in two double-blind, placebo-controlled studies following more than 400 adult patients that had chronic recurrent major depressive.
Transdermal selegiline is directly absorbed slowly into the bloodstream, thus reducing the drug's initial exposure to the digestive tract. While patients using the 9-mg and 12-mg patches still need to avoid certain foods to reduce the risk of hypertensive crisis, the risk is possibly less than comparable oral doses, since fewer gut enzymes are knocked out.
Since not enough information is known about the tyramine food with 9 or 12 mg Emsam, the FDA suggests erring on the side of safety and avoiding certain foods. Emsam has some side effects, including patch irritation of the skin, anxiety, light-headedness and low blood pressure. Heat from the sun or artificial sources are believed to increase the absorbed dose.
Like all approved antidepressants, the FDA has posted a warning of increased suicide in children and adolescents. Perhaps this is due to the routine excess starting doses of FDA approved starting doses, which increase agitation and restlessness.
We currently have a USA and international patent pending on a bio-identical transdermal antidepressant that is good for joints and the liver.

Datorstödd språkinlärning är språkteknologi för e-lärande vid språkinlärning. Det omfattar elevcentrerat studiematerial och tekniska verktyg som har vuxit fram under de senaste 40 åren, och som syftar till accelererad inlärning och individuell studietakt. Verktygen och funktionaliteten kan bland annat delas in i följande två kategorier:
 Dubbelriktad (interaktiv) inlärning, exempelvis datorstött samarbetslärande, videokonferenser med utländska gäster, sociala medier, virtuella världar
 Individualiserade studier, exempelvis automatiskt rättade glosövningar och grammatikövningar, automatisk rättstavning och grammatikkontroll i ordbehandlingsprogram, digitala språklabb, taligenkänning.

Tre historiska genrer
Grunden till Datorstödd språkinlärning (CALL) kommer från CAI (Computer-Accelerated Instruction), där de första systemen utvecklades på 60- och 70-talet. CALL systemens framväxt kan delas in i tre olika genrer:

 Beteendevetenskaplig CALL – behavioristiska teorier om lärande vilka implementerades på 60 och 70-talet. Förmedlade undervisningsmaterial i form av upprepande övningar. Ett CALL system utvecklades för huvuddatorer i PLATO systemet och innehöll ordförråds-övningar, grammatikövningar med korta förklaringar samt översättnings-övningar.

 Kommunikativ CALL – flera CALL system trädde fram under denna period på 70 och 80-talet. Fokuset låg på att använda språket i sig, istället för en analys av språket. Datorerna hjälpte eleverna att använda språket i en kontext, exempelvis hur de ska hälsa på ett annat språk än sitt modersmål.

 Integrativ CALL – integrerar undervisning i språkkunskaper med uppgifter
eller projekt. I början av 90-talet utvecklades multimedial teknik för utökad distansundervisning.
Programmen påminner om den riktiga världen där eleven både kan lyssna, läsa, se och skriva.

Pedagogiska perspektiv
Med datorn som lärare menas att man använder övningar baserade på språkets beståndsdelar, som skapats som mjukvara, till att lära sig ett andraspråk.

Med datorn som stimulans menas att använda den för att generera analys, kritiskt tänkande, diskussion och skrivande.
Detta uppnås med hjälp av ordbehandlare, grammatikkontrollsmoduler, konkordans, kollaborativt skrivande (ex meddelandeklienter, ordbehandling, e-post, brainstorming), referenser och internet.

Utvärderingsmetoder
Ett system för datorstödd språkinlärning kan utvärderas med hjälp av checklistor och undersökningar, riktade mot tre olika aspekter:
 Utvecklarens/designern som utgångspunkt - hur väl programmet fungerar, gör det som det ska.
 Läraren som utgångspunkt - kan läraren förmedla innehållet av verktyget som ska användas av eleverna, anser läraren att verktyget är användbart.
 Inläraren/eleven - kan inläraren använda sig av verktyget.

Evangeline Lilly has become a pivotal part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, stealing the show in Ant-Man and now getting promoted to double-billing for Ant-Man and the Wasp. But it almost never happened — if not for Peter Jackson.
Lilly shot to fame after the beloved ABC sci-fi series LOST premiered in 2004 to rave reviews, with Lilly transforming from unknown to household name virtually overnight. But the frenzy around the much-debated, oft-divisive show turned Lilly off to Hollywood, and she decided to retire from acting altogether. Until she suddenly got a call from none other than Peter Jackson.
When Evangeline Lilly retired in 2011, she didn't anticipate returning to the film industry at all, the actress revealed to the Hollywood Reporter. But thanks to a determined Peter Jackson, we were not robbed of one of the best female characters in the MCU.
Lilly's is not an unusual situation — we've seen plenty of child actors or longtime TV actors up and retire from Hollywood after being disillusioned with the whole thing. But it's rare to see them return through an even bigger franchise than the one that initially brought them fame. And Lilly came back with two.
And now Lilly is the co-lead in a Marvel film — with hopefully her own solo outing in the future. It's way better than going down in history as the girl who was great at finding trails and starting love triangles.

One of the free travel-size products that is included in the "My First Mustela" Set that I bought is the Mustela Cleansing Milk. I bought this set because I wanted my sister-in-law to be able to use the safest skincare products for her newborn baby. Since the travel-sized bottles were not sealed, I decided to test it out and see how effective the products are.
The Mustela Cleansing Milk gently and thoroughly cleanses a baby's facial and diaper area without leaving it dry. It hydrates the skin and preserves the hydrolipidic film thanks to a complex of nourishing and soothing plant oils.
The Mustela Cleansing Milk has a creamy texture and it smells oh so good – kind of like how babies smell. This product works like the Mustela PhysiObébé No-Rinse Cleansing Fluid. Both products are used to clean the baby's skin. The only difference between the two is that the Cleansing Milk needs to be rinsed with water. If you are out with your baby, it is best to use the Mustela PhysiObébé No-Rinse Cleansing Fluid but if you are just at home and you want to clean your baby's face and diaper area, you can just use the Cleansing Milk. Just don't forget to rinse it with water to remove excess residue.
Both products are applied the same way as well. All you need is to put a small amount onto a cotton ball and then gently apply it to the baby's skin. With its creamy texture, you'll be able to glide it smoothly over your baby's skin and it's very easy to rinse as well. It will leave your baby's skin soft and delicately scented.
I tried using it on my arm and I'm telling you, it smelled so wonderful that I couldn't stop smelling it. I know it's weird. Haha! But the scent of the cleansing milk keeps reminding me of babies' scent. It's so addicting. Also, another thing I like about this product is that when I tried it out, I think that part of my arm smelled great for hours… and when I say hours, I mean like more than 18 hours. The scent may not be as strong/evident as it was during the first 8 hours but the fact that the scent stayed on for this long is just beyond amazing.
