ASSESSMENT OF QUALITY AND AFFORDABILITY IN OFF-CAMPUS ACCOMMODATION (A CASE STUDY OF GIDAN KWANO CAMPUS, MINNA)
1.1 Background to the study
Students' housing is said to be the process of providing functional shelter for studentuse with all services, devices and equipments required and desired for healthy and better living. It can also be said to be the process of providing shelter in a proper setting that is comfortable, functional, attractive, safe, identifiable and affordable within a neighbourhood, as well as constant maintenance of the built environment to support day to day activities of families and individualswithin the community, at the same time,exhibiting their cultural aspirations, preference and socio-economic activities (Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2012). Although, shelter has been noted to be one of the most important needs for students to provide them with pleasant living and offer them a decent accommodation, a hiding place, and keep them free from other external harm. Oluwande (1983) defined shelter to be a spatial area that offers protection to man against harsh weather elements. All houses are shelter but not all shelter is houses. A student house is expected to have all the equipments, facilities, services and devices that are required for better living. But on the other hand, if they are not available in a house, such a house can be said to be only a shelter but not house.
Off-campus housing refers to students' accommodations that are located or available outside the school campus. The need for this accommodation by students may be as a result of their inability to obtain bed space in the hostel pushing them to move away from on-campus accommodation into other places to get accommodation. As stated by Al-Homoud et al.(2004) when the accommodation provided by the University is not commensurate with the student population, the attention will be shifted and students will have to rely on privately owned residential housing, pushing for increase student's residential housing supply by private owners.In the academic environment, housing has proven to be a major necessity, especially in tertiary institutions where students relocate from far distance to attain academic achievements. According to Price, I, Matzdorf, F, Smith, L, and Agahi, H (2003); Ajayi, M, Nwosu, A, and Ajani, Y (2015) among other considerations, student's accommodation is a key feature, students and parents tend to consider when enrolling in a tertiary institution. Students need comfortable accommodations that are of good quality and affordable for them to be able to carry out their primary function in their institutions. The desire for off-campus accommodation which is described "as the required housing quantity to accommodate the minimum standard of an agreed household composition, age distribution, population of a given size, among other with no consideration given to the ability of individual household's to afford the housing allocated to it" (Robinson, 1979). Therefore, the desire for accommodation is said to be an economic concept referring to the quality and amount of housing students can command as a result of their income.
Off-campus housing quality and affordability in the Federal University of Technology Minna, Gidan Kwano campus has been identified as factors that influence the choice of accommodation off-campus. As the quality of off-campus accommodation determines the price of the housing, students decide to rent houses that they can afford. Generally, students will always have a desire for a better living style that will meet their interesting needs. Therefore, it is important to look at the quality and affordability of students' accommodationas they influence the choice of off-campus accommodation in Gidan Kwano Minna.
1.2 Statement of problem n
Students accommodation has been over looked as a housing need by the Federal and State Government, but rather an educational need. However, each university was instructed to cover a broad catchment area (Dober, 1963). Which means more students that are staying far away from their houses will begiven admission yearly. Amole (1997) argued that the implication of the policy will worsen students' housing problem.
The problem of students' housing in the Federal University of Technology Minna, especially in off-campus accommodation in Gidan Kwano campus Minna has been of great concern, as it relates to students housing quality and affordability in terms of convenience, safety, and how affordable the lodges are for students to pay and live in for the attainment of academic goals.Off-campus student's residential accommodation environment could be said to be an important aspect of student's life as it may have great influence on their academic performance and comfort.
The quality of students' housing in terms of types and condition of building, and the building facilities provided for the students in the study area in most cases may determine the affordability of these accommodations by students, enabling them to decide which lodge they are to go for off-campus when the University cannot accommodate all her students on-campus. The desire to stay off-campus could be due to the variation between the total number of available bed spaces and the total population of registered students in Gidan Kwano campus of the Federal University of Technology Minna. This in turn, will bring about the need for accommodation in off-campus by students and their choices being influenced by the quality of this residential accommodation and how affordable they can be for the students of the Federal University of Technology Minna. Therefore, there is need to assess students' personal information, the quality of students housing in terms of types and condition of building, building facilities provided, and affordability of the houses provided off-campus by students. Finally, determine the nature of relationship between various factors necessary for deciding choice of residence in Gidan Kwano Minna.
This has drawn attention to the following questions:
i. What are the socio-characteristics of the students in the study area?
ii. What are the types and condition of housing provided for the students in the study area?
iii. What are the housing facilities provided for the students in the study area?
iv. How affordable is the housing provided for students in the study area?
v. Is there any relationship between housing factors and choice of residence in the study area?
1.3 Hypothesis
H0 = There is no significant relationship between choice of residence and housing affordability, housing quality, distance & security.
H1 = There is significant relationship between choice of residence and housing affordability, housing quality, distance & security.
1.4 Aim and Objectives
1.4.1 Aim
The aim of the study is to assess the quality and affordability of off-campus accommodation, with a view to ascertaining the factors that influence choice of residence in Gidan Kwano Campus of the Federal University of Technology Minna.
1.4.2 Objectives
To achieve the stated aim, specific objectives were developed to:
i. Determine the students' personal information in the study area
ii. Determine the types and condition of housing provided for the students in the study area.
iii. Assess housing facilities provided for the students in the study area.
iv. Examine students housing affordability in the study area.
v. Determine the relationship between housing factors and choice of residence in the study area
1.5 Justification for the Study
A search through related literatures on students' housing quality in tertiary institutions reveals that in most nations, students' accommodation receives less attention by the institutions and government. As explained by Simon and Francis (2012) tertiary institutions in Ghana pay less attention to students' accommodation quality. Likewise in Nigeria especially public tertiary institutions, less attention is given to off-campus students' accommodation quality (Olatunji, 2014). This explains that, there has been study on students' accommodation quality off-campus but little on quality and affordability of accommodation. The study is targeted at bridging the gap in literature on quality and affordability in off-campus accommodation at the Federal University of Technology, a case study of Gidan Kwano Campus Minna.
Off-campus students' residential housing in the Federal University of Minna main campus Gidan Kwano is an issue of concern as student's accommodation may be decided by its quality consequently may be influencing the rent of these houses. According to information sourced from the Students' Affairs Division of the Federal University of Technology Minna on students' enrollment into the University, it shows that the total population of registered students as at 2018 was 18,000 students while in 2019 is 20,880. The variation in the figure explains that there is an increase in the quantity of students by 2,880. Out of the total number of registered students in 2019, Gidan Kwano campus has the total number of 10,068 registered students during the 2018/2019 academic session.
The Federal University of Technology Minna has provided student's hostel in Gidan Kwano campus to accommodate her students in the hostel and these hostels has only 1,942 bed spaces to house the students on-campus (Students' Affairs Divison, FUT. Minna, 2018). When compared with the total population of registered students in Gidan Kwano campus. It will be observed that the University cannot accommodate all its students on-campus which in turn will push the students to look for accommodation off-campus. The choice of off-campus accommodation is being influenced by the quality of housing which may determine how affordable these houses can be for the students.
Therefore, it is very important to assess students' off-campus residential accommodation in Gidan Kwano Minna to understand the level at which good quality students residential accommodation has determined the price and how it affects the affordability of such houses to the students. In addition, to provide relevant information that will serve as a guide to private investors who may desire to invest into students accommodation in order to provide off-campus residential housing in Gidan Kwano that are of good housing quality and is affordable by students.
Finally, the information gathered during the research will serve as a guide to support further research work on students' residential housing.
The scope of the research encompasses off-campus residential housing need by students which will focus on assessing the housing quality in terms of types of building, building condition i.e access road to building, wall, roof, windows, door, and floor condition of building. The building facilities in terms of drainage, source of power lighting, water, toilet, bathroom and kitchen. The affordability of accommodation in terms of amount paid for rent among others by students off-campus in Gidan Kwano Minna. The University has two campuses; Bosso campus and Gidan Kwano campus. Therefore, the study will only concentrate onmain campus of the Federal University of Technology Minna off-campus students' residential accommodation in Gidan Kwano community.
1.7 Basic Assumption of the Study
In order to carry out the study on assessing the quality and affordability of off-campus students' accommodation in Gidan Kwano community of the Federal Universty of Technology Minna, the following assumptions were made;
1. That there are no squatters in the hostel
2. That there is only one student living in a room off-campus
1.8 The Study Area
1.8.1 Location of the Study Area
Bosso Local Government Area lies at latitude 9052"N, longitude 6050"E. Gidan Kwano settlement arefound in Bosso Local Government Area of Niger State. The Community has a major road that links Minna and Bida through which it can be accessed. Gidan Kwano community lies right opposite the Federal University of Technology Minna, main campus. Gidan Kwano is made up of two settlements: Jatapi and Gidan kwano, and the fringe of Mararaban Bukpe(Gbigi) as the third settlement. Initially they were three different settlements but as time move on, the settlement merged as a result of rapid growth in terms of population size with Jatapi and Mararaban Bukpe(Gbigi) being subsumed in Gidan kwano. The Community was originally known to be a farming settlement with most of its citizens originating from Gwari ethnic stock. With the coming of Federal University of Technology Minna, main campus to Gidan Kwano. It is now serving as a motivating factor for new ethnic group to move into the settlement bringing about diverse kind of settlement in Gidan kwano.

Gidan Kwano is one of the areas under Bosso Local Government Area of Niger State. The Community lies between latitude 9°31'30.07"N and longitude 7°4'30.07"E, located along Minna-Bida road, directly opposite the Federal University of Technology Minna. The Community now known as Gidan Kwano was first inhabited by Mallam Muhammad Ibrahim Bello (Kunkura) who was initially leaving at the hills in Bosso. As a result of the increase in population, he decided to relocate to Gidan Kwano around the 1990s. The current site where the main campus of the Federal University of Technology is located was the first place where Mallam Muhammadu Ibrahim Bello first took his refuge as his settlement. History has it that, the legend, Mallam Muhammadu Ibrahim Bello happens to be the first person to have his house roofed with zinc in the whole of Bosso, Kpakungu and its surrounding environment. The nature of his house that was roofed with corrugated material gained popularity in the whole of Bosso, Kpakungu and its environment, the people decided to call it Gidan Kwano which means "house roofed with metal" in the Hausa language. The area where the permanent site of the Federal University of Technology Minna, the main campus is located following its founding on 1st February, 1983 was the site where Mallam Muhammadu Bello first had his settlement and was later acquired by the Federal Government of Nigeria in 1987 to establish the University main campus. However, because of the acquisition of land by the Federal Government for institutional use and the need to relocate the community, the Government went across Minna-Bida highway to acquire land that will be used to relocate the Gidan Kwano community which is now known as Gidan Kwano village.

The Federal University of Technology Minna is a specialised Science and Technology University. With the coming of the Federal University of Technology Minna on the 1st of February, 1983 with its campuses located in Bosso Town and Gidan Kwano communities, it now gave way for influx of people from within and far looking for job opportunities and admissions into the University. Most of them end up settling down in either in Bosso Town or Gidan Kwano Community, after achieving their aim. In addition, because of the increasing population of students as time goes on, which may not be commensurate with the available bed spaces provided by the University, some students tend to look for alternative source of accommodation by moving away from the school campus into Gidan Kwano village to secure accommodation.
1.10 Physical Characteristics of the Study Area
1.10.1 Hydrology
The community Gidan Kwano has swamp areas, with marshy areas dispersed around the community. It has no major river or stream but during raining reason, it has running water flowing through the natural drainage which divides the community into two halves.
1.10.2 Climate
Minna has two distinctive seasons which include the rainy season and dry season. The rainy season is between March and October with an average rainfall of about 100mm yearly, while the dry season is between October and March which is characterized by tropic continental wind. Considering the climate condition of Gidan Kwano, it is of no distinction with the climate obtained in Minna town as the climatic zone is the same.
1.10.3 Rainfall
Rainfall in the study area is categorized into two major seasons; it's the dry season and the rainy season. The rainy season usually occurs between April and October, while the dry season is between November and March.
The average rainfall in the study area is about 328mm, while maximum accumulation begins in May when the average received in the study area is 156mm; it falls to about 68mm in October. The highest amount of rain is received in August and September, with rainfall of about 16 days per month.
1.10.4 Temperature
There is a gradual increase in temperature from January to March. The beginning of the rains in April marks a notable drop in temperature. This continues in the cessation periods of October, when a new descent in November-December is possible due to the arrival of the Harmattan winds. The highest temperatures are recorded in March, when temperatures can reach a maximum of 37.1°C, while the lowest temperatures are recorded in December, when temperatures can drop to 19.3°C.
1.10.5 Vegetation
The type of vegetation seen in Gidan Kwano community is similar to that of Southern Guinea Savanna Vegetation which is made up of grassland scattered and mixed with trees and shrubs.
1.11 Socio-Economic Characteristics of Gidan Kwano and Bosso town
1.11.1 Economic Activities
The economic activities of the Gidan Kwano community are greatly influenced by the presence of staffs who are working and students who are schooling at the University. Agri-business is the majormeans of livelihood of the Gwari people in Gidan Kwano community. While those that are not engaged into farming, go into commercial activities such as small and medium scale trading, local industrialization and providing the students population with supporting services such as retail outlet and printing centers, etc.
1.11.2 Population
National Bureau of Statistic (2018)revealed that, the estimated population of Bosso Local Government Area with a growth rate of +3.46% per year in 2016 was 208,100. Therefore, using +3.46% per year as the growth rate, the projected population of Bosso Local Government Area in 2019 will be 230,456.
1.11.3 Ethnicity
Before the establishment of Federal University of Technology Minna, it is located in Gidan Kwano community. The settlement was characterised of mainly Gwari speaking people. But with the establishment of the University, this brought about movement of people from different ethnic groups, culture and social interaction into Gidan Kwano community making it diverse kind of habitation with the common ethnic group still Gwari.
1.10.4 Religion
The living population in Gidan Kwano community is divided into two roughly equal parts; the Muslims and Christians. This can be seen from the presence of many Mosques and Churches within the Community.

The ins and outs of prenuptial and postnuptial agreements
On Behalf of The Law Office of Brian C. Christian, P.C. | Mar 17, 2022 | Family Law
Prenuptial agreements are an essential part of family law in Virginia and something that many soon-to-be spouses consider. Postnuptial agreements, while less commonly known, are also important legal tools.
Prenuptials and postnuptials: What are they?
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements are legal documents that lay out what happens to spouses' shared marital assets if they divorce or die. Engaged spouses create prenuptial agreements whereas married couples create postnuptial agreements after getting married. Arguably the biggest similarity between these two legal documents is that courts will closely scrutinize these agreements during divorce proceedings to ensure that they were created fairly.
What topics do these agreements cover?
Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements should cover the division of financial assets, including bank account balances, homes and plots of land, and investments like stocks and bonds. Both usually cover alimony or financial spousal support in the event of divorce. In marriages with spouses who expect to receive an inheritance, prenuptial and postnuptial agreements outline how to handle properties and investments handed down by benefactors.
Who needs a prenuptial or postnuptial agreement?
Not all couples need prenuptial or postnuptial agreements. Couples who own little to no assets usually don't need to create these contracts. Couples getting married for the first time also typically don't need them unless one of the spouses expects to receive an inheritance.
Still, prenups can safeguard what income and other assets spouses accumulate during their marriage. This is also true for unearned income, which typically comes in the form of bequests or distributions from trusts.
How prenups affect spousal support
Prenups can eliminate the need to provide spousal support, known as alimony, after divorce if the couples decide to put it in writing. They can also specify how much money a spouse receives as alimony.
Handshake deals or verbal agreements regarding what happens to marital assets likely won't hold up in court. Prenuptial and postnuptial agreements, on the other hand, are legal contracts.

Q: XPath in RSelenium for indexing list of values Here is an example of html:
<li class="index i1"

<li class="index i2"

I would like to take the value of every href in a element. What makes the list is the class in the first li in which class' name change i1, i2.
So I have a counter and change it when I go to take the value.
i <- 1
stablestr <- "index "
myVal <- paste(stablestr , i, sep="")

so even if try just to access the general lib with myVal index using this
profile<-remDr$findElement(using = 'xpath', "//*/input[@li = myVal]")
profile$highlightElement()

or the href using this
profile<-remDr$findElement(using = 'xpath', "/li[@class=myVal]/ol[@id='rem']/div[@id='bare']/h3/a[@class='tlt']")

profile$highlightElement()

Is there anything wrong with xpath?

A: Your HTML structure is invalid. Your
 tags are not closed properly, and it seems you are confusing
 with
. But for the sake of the question, I assume the structure is as you write, with properly closed
 tags.
Then, constructing myVal is not right. It will yield "index 1" while you want "index i1". Use "index i" for stablestr.
Now for the XPath:
//*/input[@li = myVal]

This is obviously wrong since there is no input in your XML. Also, you didn't prefix the variable with $. And finally, the * seems to be unnecessary. Try this:
//li[@class = $myVal]

In your second XPath, there are also some errors:
/li[@class=myVal]/ol[@id='rem']/div[@id='bare']/h3/a[@class='tlt']
           ^                         ^                       ^
     missing $              should be @class    is actually 'tlt mhead'

The first two issues are easy to fix. The third one is not. You could use contains(@class, 'tlt'), but that would also match if the class is, e.g., tltt, which is probably not what you want. Anyway, it might suffice for your use-case. Fixed XPath:
/li[@class=$myVal]/ol[@id='rem']/div[@class='bare']/h3/a[contains(@class, 'tlt')]

Forcible writing is prose that features precise language and uses strong verbs. This makes your work strong, straightforward and confident. In 1918, Cornell University professor William Strunk Jr. used these terms in his now famous style guide, "The Elements of Style." Using precise language and strong verbs, while avoiding weak verbs, makes your writing cleaning, accurate and conciseness.
When you write, use definite, specific, concrete language, according to "The Elements of Style." If your writing is general, vague or abstract, then it loses some of its grandeur. Yet you do not want superfluous writing. A sentence should contain no extra words, and a paragraph should contain no extra sentences. This does not mean that all your sentences should be short; instead, focus on making every word count. Plan to revise your writing. This helps you spot any weaknesses or flaws in your work.
The verbs "to be" and "to have" are weak verbs because they take no action. When your verb does not do anything, it leaves your readers having to work harder to determine your meaning. Examples of phrases to eliminate from your work include "this has," "there is," "there are" and "it was." One way to eliminate weak verbs from your writing is to reread your work and circle every "to be" verb. With some minor restructuring, you can often improve the quality of your sentence by replacing that verb with a strong verb that describes an action.

Finnish Virtual University: Overuse of Weak Verbs "To Be," "There Is" Or "Have"


From new TEDx director Jay Herrati: There are many great ways to start a new job. But I have experienced none quite as good as meeting hundreds of people—from all corners of the globe—who are extremely passionate about improving their communities through big ideas.
When I accepted my new role as director of the TEDx program, I knew I would meet a lot of TEDx organizers. But little did I know that, just a few weeks into my new position, I'd be traveling 3,968 miles away from the TED office in New York to meet with 300 of them at the TEDx Workshop at the TEDSalon Berlin. I had even less idea how deeply I'd be moved by this global community.
At the TEDx Workshop, I came face-to-face with organizers of all ages, careers and interests, all who have one thing in common — a relentless dedication to spreading new ideas. From a mother organizing a TEDxWomen event while balancing a busy life raising children and working a full-time job, to a 16-year-old student inspired to change her hometown by hosting a TEDxYouth event, the workshop introduced me to the incredible diversity of the TEDx community. The group truly came alive in the conversations, debates, discussions and adventures shared in Berlin.
Each person I met had an entirely different story — a unique, compelling desire to organize their event — which each unveiled as they spoke about what attracted them to the program and how they are approaching it in their part of the world. These stories showed how TEDx has grown, how it continues to grow, and how it shapes the people and places that make it possible. With an average eight events occurring each day, across 167 countries, there is so much to learn from this global community.
I left Berlin inspired by these 300 TEDx organizers — by their stories, their creativity and their zeal for seeing the world transformed by ideas. It left me energized, excited, and ready to work with the TEDx team to do all that we can to support them.
Jay Herratti is the new executive director of TEDx. He lives in New York and has two dogs that don't like wearing snow boots.
Okay totally googling how to get involved in tedx events.
TEDx and Jay Herratti are a perfect match. Both are creative, inspiring and highly entertaining. We're expecting great things to come from this union.
As a friend of Jay's and an observer of Tedx, it's rare to see two parallel missions come together so flawlessly. I know that Tedx will benefit from having Jay as its new Executive Director, and that Jay will benefit from the passion and articulable energy of Tedx organizers.

Malala Yousafzai looks to inspire change in women's education around the world
Faiza Chowdhury October 13, 2013 October 13, 2013
Malala Yousafzai, who is a leading contender to win the Nobel Peace Prize, arrives for an appearance on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" on Tuesday, October 8, 2013.
She finally reached a life-changing moment when a member of the Taliban shot her point-blank on her way to school on Oct. 9, 2012. From surviving this near death experience and going through multiple surgeries to finally being able to actually walk and speak after a bullet went through her head, which severed a nerve in her face and shattered her left eardrum, Malala's survival and recovery is nothing short of miraculous.
She is been interviewed by top journalists including Diane Sawyer and Christiane Amanpour as well as comedian and "fake" journalist Jon Stewart, and has even spoken at the U.N., always displaying her desire for peaceful resolutions. As she describes on the Jon Stewart show, she debated what to do if a member of the Taliban came to attack her, even considering hitting the man with her shoe but told herself, "'If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.' Then I said I will tell him how important education is and that 'I even want education for your children as well.' And I will tell him, 'That's what I want to tell you, now do what you want.'"
Through every interview, Malala not only expresses the importance of educating the ignorant but also remains humble, even as she is depicted to be Pakistan's "Mother Teresa," much like Mahatma Gandhi's humility as Indians called him "the Father of our nation." Her take on progressive action through peace and education is an echo of Gandhi's stance to use nonviolence as a weapon against imperialism. Both desired for their people to gain equal rights and to be treated as human beings. For Gandhi, it was the people of the South Asian subcontinent and for Yousafzai, it is for the girls of not only Pakistan, but of all developing countries where they follow the double standard of leaving girls uneducated and at home. Their common belief in using passive resistance should not go unseen.
Gandhi was able to make millions of people stand up for their rights against the strongest imperialist power in the world's history. Malala was not only nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, but she has also created a fund for educating girls in developing and war stricken countries including Syria, Afghanistan and India with international as well as celebrity support through Angelina Jolie and others.
However, unlike Gandhi's fight for independence, Malala's fight is made more difficult in the world of drones and weighted international relations. As she continues to promote that education is the solution to war rather than violence, one must consider how exactly education can be used to stop Taliban fighters. How can we insist on creating a dialogue with religious extremists who seem to be adamant that Western influence can only be negative? These challenges along with others remind us that as we rile behind Malala and her beliefs, only crying out foul will attract attention but we won't get results unless we implement policies in which education and dialogue is created between the extremists such as the Taliban and advocates for girls' education.
Although Gandhi was assassinated, Malala has proved that a bullet would not be able to stop her from raising her voice to fight for the education and the empowerment of young girls. She must now remember the famous idiom, "actions speak louder than words."

My friend J. hates roaches to the point of irrationality. I asked her if she had seen Wall-E yet, and she told me that it was so offensive that she had to leave ten minutes into the film. I was surprised, as I heard that Wall-E has a good message that I thought a progressive like J. would dig.
"What is so awful about it?"
J. threw her arms around as she ranted. "It's repulsive! It should be rated X! I can't believe they allow children to see such filth!"
"Um, are you talking about the cartoon?"
"Yes, of course! I asked to get my money back, it was so sick!"
Now I was really confused. "What is so bad about it?"
"The sidekick is a roach!!!!!" she screamed.

Some of Melania Trump's speech mirrors Michelle Obama's speech
CLEVELAND (AP) - Melania Trump's well-received speech Monday to the Republican National Convention contained two passages that match nearly word-for-word the speech that first lady Michelle Obama delivered in 2008 at the Democratic National Convention.
The passages in question focus on lessons that Mrs. Trump, the wife of presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, said she learned from her parents and the relevance of their lessons in her experience as a mother. They came near the beginning of her roughly 10-minute speech, which was otherwise distinct from the address that Mrs. Obama gave when her husband, then-Sen. Barack Obama, was being nominated for president.
In Mrs. Trump's speech in Cleveland, she said: "From a young age, my parents impressed on me the values that you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond and you do what you say and keep your promise, that you treat people with respect. They taught and showed me values and morals in their daily life."
In Mrs. Obama's 2008 speech in Denver, she said: "And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: like, you work hard for what you want in life, that your word is your bond, that you do what you say you're going to do, that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them."
Another passage with notable similarities that follows two sentences later in Mrs. Trump's speech addresses her attempts to instill those values in her son.
"We need to pass those lessons on to the many generations to follow," Mrs. Trump said. "Because we want our children in this nation to know that the only limit to your achievements is the strength of your dreams and your willingness to work for them."
In the first lady's 2008 speech, she said, "Barack and I set out to build lives guided by these values and to pass them onto the next generation, because we want our children — and all children in this nation — to know that the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them."
Trump's campaign responded in a statement that said her "immigrant experience and love for America shone through in her speech." The statement didn't mention Mrs. Obama.
"In writing her beautiful speech, Melania's team of writers took notes on her life's inspirations, and in some instances included fragments that reflected her own thinking," Trump spokesman Jason Miller said.
White House officials did not immediately respond to requests for comment late Monday evening.
In an interview with NBC News taped ahead of her convention appearance and posted online early Tuesday, Mrs. Trump said of her speech, "I wrote it." She added that she had "a little help."


The Church of St. Donatus is a symbol of the city of Zadar and the most famous monumental edifice of the Early Middle Ages (9th century) in Croatia. It is named after the bishop who began its construction. The earliest mention of the church is found in the works of the 10th century Byzantine emperor Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus.
Due to its extraordinary acoustic properties, it is used as a venue for various musical performances ("Glazbene večeri u sv. Donatu", or St Donatus Musical Evenings").


One of our wonderful patients left us this nice review and we are delighted to share his thoughts with you.

New Year brings New airline and New route for LJLA
New Year brings New airline and New route for JLA
With the New Year just a few days away, staff at Liverpool John Lennon Airport are celebrating the news today that a new airline will be starting from Liverpool next year with a new route to add to the Airport's list of 60 destinations.
Europe's third largest low cost airline, Norwegian have announced today that they are to commence a three times weekly service from Liverpool to Copenhagen, starting on 5th April 2013, with a convenient lunchtime departure from Liverpool at 13:55 and one way fares from only £33.
Norwegian is a public low-cost airline noted on the Oslo Stock Exchange and has a route portfolio that stretches across Europe into North Africa and the Middle East. In May 2013 it commences long-haul flights from Scandinavia to the US and Asia.
As one of Europe's fastest growing low cost airlines, management at JLA are excited that Norwegian have chosen Liverpool as their latest airport to operate from, having worked hard for some time to develop this new business.
The airline has seen significant growth in recent years, carrying almost 16 million passengers in 2011 and currently operates 68 aircraft on 330 routes to 120 destinations. Norwegian's fleet has an average age of less than 5 year and the company currently has 280 aircraft on order.
Flights between Liverpool and Copenhagen are expected to be popular for both leisure and business passengers adding another exciting city break destination from Liverpool. Copenhagen is an attractive short-break destination famous for its many designs, modern architecture and some of the best Art Museums in Europe. The city is one of Europe's oldest Royal Capitals with an international and continental feel.
The route is expected to be equally as popular from Copenhagen too, with visitors from the Danish capital taking advantage of direct scheduled flights to Liverpool for the first time. The City has been popular with Scandinavians for some time, visiting in large numbers for leisure breaks and particularly popular with football fans travelling over to watch Liverpool and Everton matches.
Craig Richmond, CEO Liverpool John Lennon Airport commented, "This is tremendous news for the Airport and the region. Norwegian are one of the up and coming low cost airlines in Europe and this is a very positive statement of the progress we are now making to develop the portfolio of airlines and destinations here at Liverpool."
Both cities have so much to offer visitors and this new route should be equally popular with passengers travelling to both cities."
Norwegians Communications Manager Åsa Larsson added, "We are very excited about adding Liverpool to our growing route network from Copenhagen. We will be the only operator between the two cities and are looking forward to flying both Danish and English customers inexpensively and comfortable in our brand new aircraft with free WiFi".
"We enjoy a very good relationship with the Airport and are looking forward to working with the team to make this route a success."

The SEC approved an amendment to FINRA Rule 0150 to codify the application of FINRA Rule 2121 and its Supplementary Material .01 and .02, which govern mark-ups and commissions, to transactions in exempted securities that are government securities. The amendment became effective upon SEC approval.
Rule 0150(c) (Application of Rules to Exempted Securities Except Municipal Securities) enumerates the FINRA and NASD rules that apply to transactions in, and business activities relating to, exempted securities, except municipal securities, that firms and associated persons conduct.1 FINRA has historically taken the position that it could bring an action for excessive mark-ups in transactions in exempt securities (except municipal securities) under Rule 2010 (Standards of Commercial Honor and Principles of Trade), although Rule 0150(c) did not include Rule 2121, Supplementary Material .01, or Supplementary Material .02, which govern mark-ups and commissions ("mark-up rule").
The SEC approved an amendment to Rule 0150 to apply explicitly Rule 2121, along with Supplementary Material .01 and .02, to transactions in, and business activities relating to, exempted securities that are government securities, including U.S. Treasury securities.2 FINRA believes that amending Rule 0150 to apply the mark-up rule to transactions and business activities relating to government securities clarifies that conduct relating to mark-ups and commissions in the market for government securities must comply with the mark-up rule, in addition to Rule 2010. FINRA also notes that the mark-up rule provides specific criteria by which firms should assess debt mark-ups and mark-downs.3 Amending Rule 0150 to apply these standards to transactions in government securities will provide clearer standards by which to measure the propriety of mark-ups, mark-downs and commissions in such transactions.
This amendment became effective upon SEC approval.
1 The terms exempted securities, government securities, and municipal securities are defined in Sections 3(a)(12), 3(a)(42), and 3(a)(29) of the Act, respectively.
2 See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 76639 (December 14, 2015) (SR-FINRA-2015-33). FINRA Rule 6710(p) defines a U.S. Treasury Security as a "security issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to fund the operations of the federal government or to retire such outstanding securities."
3 See Rule 2121, Supplementary Material .02 (Additional Mark-Up Policy For Transactions in Debt Securities, Except Municipal Securities).


Richard James – WHAT IS JAMES WEARING?
And we've been doing quite a lot of unfolding this past year—so much so in fact, that the advent of our triennial has caught us a bit by surprise!
It's been truly an exceptional year, filled with media engagements, travel, meetings with new and old WIJW friends, fine dining, shopping, and bringing it all here online to share—and I must say, the sharing part continues to be hugely rewarding. Without an appreciative and engaged global audience, WIJW wouldn't be much fun at all—so thank you, thank you, thank you, and stay dialed in for more WIJW in the coming twelve months! We'll be doing our best to make it worth your while.
This next year of WIJW promises to be quite exciting with more than a few projects in the works!
Lofty Dreams to name a few.
• I've been asked to design a line of shirts, cuff links, and belts.
• We're planing on mixing in more online video content to keep things dynamic—moving tours of some of our favorite haunts are part of those plans.
• We'll be bringing you more fabulous Jet-set fantasy destinations, including travel to London, Paris, Monaco, Newport, Lyford Cay, the Bahamas, and Rio de Janeiro.
• We've also been asked to contribute our thoughts to The Rake—one of our absolute favorite gentleman's magazines. Do have a look.
So just a few projects highlighted here to give you an idea of what's in store.
Thanks to all those who make WIJW happen!
We'll leave you with this photograph by Gabriel Everett. My friend Keith Adams scouted the rather fabulous location—a mural by the brilliant Brooklyn based street artist, Tristan Eaton—definitely apocalyptic, but we love shaking up the status quo.
I'm sporting a Tom Ford era Gucci black linen jacket with suede elbow patches and black and white silk mini hounds tooth pant, black and white striped cotton shirt with contrast white collar by Richard James London, Seaman Schepps black pearl cuff links, red alligator belt with silver buckle by Ralph Lauren, Dior sunglasses, Tom Ford black and white silk pocket square and black and saddle leather loafers, and my fragrance is Creed Imperial Mellisime.

We're interupting our WIJW in Paris series to share with you a special announcement. My friends at the superlative Carlton Hobbs Gallery will be exhibiting in London at the Masterpiece Fair. Stefanie Rinza, managing director of Carlton Hobbs LLC, describes the exclusive showcase as a "… successor to the prestigious Grosvenor House Show, [which] has great promise to become one of the best in the world." With only the finest treasures both traditional and contemporary, this sounds like our kind of thing, and we're hurrying to the phone to get our room sorted at Claridges.
While you are in London to see the Masterpiece Fair, be sure to visit Carlton Hobbs' London gallery at 16 Bloomfield Terrace, off of Pimlico Road as they've curated a special exhibition of recent acquisitions to coincide with the show.
Just to get you excited about your visit, I'm leaving you with an image of the grand focal point of Carlton Hobbs' exhibition at the Masterpiece Fair – "…an extraordinary French 18th century parcel gilt and white painted Library from the Hotel Gaulin, Dijon." Now this is something I would like to build someone's home around!

NYDN cover pushes false narrative, calls NRA's Wayne LaPierre 'Jihadi Wayne'
Joe Newby
As part of the left's ongoing campaign to foment hate and possibly violence against members of the NRA and gun owners in general, the New York Daily News' Monday cover calls the NRA's Wayne LaPierre "Jihadi Wayne."
According to Twitchy, it's intended to focus on the bogus claim that the NRA and the GOP want to let terrorists get guns.
Of course, it's a false claim, but since when does the truth matter to agenda-driven liberals bent on hate?
An early look at tomorrow's front page…

Believe it or not, that idea was actually floated by a Virginia liberal who said he was okay with exterminating the five million members of the NRA.
Who knows? Maybe that's what the NYDN really wants.
One person put forward a very interesting argument:
@NYDailyNews I love how you guys are scared of guns, conservatives, strong women, work, responsibility-everything BUT terrorists.

Twitchy explained:
The NRA's objection to the bill is a little more complicated than the NYDN would have you believe. At issue is how an individual ends up on the watchlist in the first place and how it could be abused in the future to restrict an American's right to buy a gun.
Here's the NRA's objections to the measure:
As the name suggests, the "watchlist" is not limited to people guilty of "terrorism"1 or who are suspected of other acts serious enough to warrant their arrest. It broadly includes people "known or reasonably suspected to be or have been engaged in conduct constituting, in preparation for, in aid of, or related to terrorism,"2 including those only "being preliminarily investigated to determine whether they have links to terrorism" and those "for whom the FBI does not have an open terrorism investigation."3
A person accused of serious wrongdoing has the right to know what he has been accused of, to offer evidence in his defense, and to be judged by a jury. A constitutionally protected right cannot be taken away on the basis of a secretive or unsubstantiated accusation. A judge should be allowed to consider evidence which may support the innocence of the accused.
S. 34 and H.R. 1506 are aimed primarily at law-abiding American gun owners. Ninety-five percent of watchlisted persons are already prohibited from acquiring firearms in the U.S., because they are not U.S. citizens or legal resident aliens. (See below.)
NICS already checks the relevant portion of the watchlist, and denies firearms to watchlisted persons who are prohibited from possessing firearms. Tellingly, S. 34's and H.R. 1506's sponsors could not name a single gun crime committed by a watchlisted person who purchased a firearm after passing a NICS check. (See below.)
As D.C.'s and Chicago's handgun bans have proven, prohibiting the possession of firearms doesn't stop criminals from illegally acquiring them.
There would be an enormous potential for abuse, if the FBI were given arbitrary power over a constitutionally-protected right. This would be true even if the FBI had an unblemished record where civil rights are concerned.
Now, the NYDN calls LaPierre a terrorist for wanting to ensure our rights under the Constitution are upheld. One has to wonder — what other rights would the NYDN like taken away without due process?
The left's answer for what ails America: Murder conservatives, NRA members
Virginia Democrat says he's okay with extermination of five million Americans
Va. Democrat to ask God to kill all NRA members on air
Des Moines columnist calls for repeal of Second Amendment, death of gun owners
Do liberals really want a second civil war in America?

It's the only National Historic site in Westchester.
No end in site over federal standoff.
MOUNT VERNON – A holiday organ concert and a talk about Christmas at St. Paul's Church were postponed Saturday due to the federal government shutdown.
The church, a national historic site run by the National Park Service in the U.S. Department of Interior, was closed this weekend due to the partial government shutdown that will continue until at least Thursday, two days after Christmas.
The concert was to feature organist Kathryn Jones playing traditional carols and holiday favorites on a re-conditioned 19th Century organ. She was to be accompanied by a soprano singer.
On Sunday, the gates of the church were padlocked shut and makeshift signs were hung on one of the doors at the site. "Because of a lapse in federal appropriations, this national park facility is closed for the safety of visitors and park resources," the signs said and directed visitors to the park service website to find information about other parks and sites in the area.
St. Paul's consists of an 18th century stone church that was used as a military field hospital during the American Revolution and a historical cemetery with stones dating to the early 1700s. It's the only National Parks Service site in Westchester County.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the state would pay to keep two national sites in New York City open during the shutdown, the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. New York was one of several states that announced they'd keep open some national parks during the shutdown.
There's no clear end in site to the government shutdown, with many members of Congress out of Washington D.C. and not expected to return until Thursday. The shutdown came just after midnight on Friday over a budget impasse resulting from President Donald Trump's call for billions of dollars to fund a wall along the U.S. border with Mexico.
Please be advised that this Twitter feed will remain inactive during the partial Government shutdown.
Although the House has passed a bill with more than $5 billion in funding a wall and other measures, wall funding can't get through the Senate without support from some Democratic lawmakers. On Thursday, Trump refused to sign a short-term spending bill that would've kept departments funded through February unless it included wall funding.
The latest shutdown is the third this year and third of Trump's presidency. According to USA Today, funding lapsed affects a quarter of the government, with funding already in place for other departments. In total nine federal departments and 800,000 employees are affected in agencies such as the FBI, IRS and Customs and Border Patrol.


If you have ADHD you know that your mind often is way ahead of your reality. You want to say yes to those you care about, please others, do it all, see a smile on someone's face; often at the expense of yourself or your actual abilities. It is so difficult to think things through before you react in your 'aiming to please' way.I had an experience of this recently with my new roommate, in which I agreed to do something in a dash of excitement and desire to solve a problem and please her. As the days grew closer to the event, I grew anxious as my health was not great, I had deadlines looming with work, and then I came to learn I was more of a want than a need. I ended up proposing another solution that backfired and caused all kinds of chaos, and was reminded once again of my need to instill my 'let me think about it and get back to you' response no matter how hard it might be.
People that are very close to me know that I say yes whenever possible, so it hasn't been a problem in a long time because they help me navigate through this and recognize when I am saying yes when I should say maybe. They are aware of my health and my stress levels and my capacities, and are intimately aware of what happens when I over extend myself.
This conflict with my new roommate was a gentle reminder to review some key things I needed to put in place to avoid this type of thing in the future among new friends.
Don't make promises to anything on the spot. ANYTHING. Let the person know you need to check your schedule and get back to them, even if it is calling them back in a minute. This includes a quick lunch or coffee – it is amazing how many of these can pile up and keep you from doing the work you need to get done and how easy it is to say yes when you mean no.
Plan out weekly what you want to do and need to get done. If things come up during the week that aren't on your schedule, first make sure you have met your priorities. Add only as you are able and if it isn't in your best interest, but is something you want to do, plan it for the next week / month / year.
Don't say yes if something inside is saying no. No matter how much you care about the person, or how much you want to help. If you do not take care of yourself first, you will be unable to take care of others – I have learned this time and time again the hard way. You can help them find their solutions but be sure to keep your boundaries and take care of yourself.
If something is stumping you, meditate on it. Clear your mind of everything, and meditate. Focus on your breathe, sit still and let the thoughts and noise float right past you and into the sky. Often only when we quiet our minds can we find the clarity we need to find a perfect solution.
Tell people close to you of your tendency to answer before you think. People that truly care about you will understand this is just a small part of you, and put up protections so they themselves are not disappointed by your tendency to do this. Instead of taking your first answer, they will say 'why don't you take some time to think about that'. It serves as a gentle reminder that while they know you may want to, reality is not always going to make it possible and instead of being hurt they want you to make sure first that is the answer you really want to give.
My brother has become so skilled at this, as he understands when I get excited I often over commit at my own expense. He could easily take advantage of this, as I would do and do and do until I fell over exhausted and spent as I have in the past – which ultimately helps no one. Instead he forces me to take time to think about each and everything tiny little thing I offer, so that I am not just acting on my brain and heart for them, but on my brain and heart for myself as well.
It is easy to take advantage of those with ADHD as they will generally say yes and yes and yes. But it always backfires, because eventually they explode, and it hurts everyone involved. Learning how their mind works and how to make it work for everyone is the only thing that helps all in the long term. I've found keeping the above tips top of mind critical for both myself and those that I am close to in keeping a truly loving relationship beneficial for all.
Have you had problems saying yes? Please share any tips you find useful as well. Thanks for reading!

If you search the net, you might find lots of posts about setting OBIEE to work with Microsoft Analysis Services as data source (here, here, here... The first one, by Suman Busireddy from KPI Partners is the most recent and very nice) . Unfortunately most of them seem to be based on small cases or personal trials of the writer. When you actually work with it, there are few additional things to be aware of. This is the main focus of this post.
The first part is to set up the IIS to work with your relevant version of Microsoft Analysis Services. You need to follow the Microsoft document Configure HTTP Access to Analysis Services on Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.0 (the default version at the moment is SQL Server 2014, you might need the ""Other Versions" option for 2012 or 2008). The above mentioned posts did something very similar, but in real life you need the local System Administrator, to be involved, since in different companies, you will find various approaches to security. (Most of the problems are with the "Identity" definition and the "Connect By" option, that sometimes requires a specific user defined).
Once you are done with the IIS setup you have a MSMDPUMP.INI file, you edited in Step 4 of that document. NEVER leave it as Microsoft recommends in the note. The default is to support very small amount of parallel connections. As a result, with any Dashboard with over 4 analysis you will see random errors.
The server name might not be localhost. That is why the specific server name.It depends on the location of the DB and the IIS.
It is best to test the connection ( http://localhost/OLAP/msmdpump.dll or http://YOUR_Server_NAME/OLAP/msmdpump.dll) with SQL Server Management Studio, as advised by Microsoft.
Now you can import in OBIEE Administration the Metadata of the connection type XMLA with the relevant URL (http://localhost/OLAP/msmdpump.dll or http://YOUR_Server_NAME/OLAP/msmdpump.dll).
After the import, it is very common to see many similar hierarchies in the each Dimension.
You have can follow the advise of Suman Busireddy from KPI Partners here and delete some. Since every Hierarchy in Microsoft creates columns in OBIEE you might have several columns that seems like the same one (day, day#1...) It is very important to use the one that is your main Hierarchy in Database, otherwise you might create unnecessary "joins" in the query (If you use day from hierarchy A and Month from Hierarchy B from the same dimension, for example).
You might also see many KEYxx and MEMBER_VALUExx redundant columns, you might want to remove them from the presentation layer. There are rare case you might want to use them.
In Physical layer the default definition of Measures is External Aggregation. There are few very rare cases you might want to change. Remember it will always have performance price, since the OBIEE server will be forced to make the calculations locally.
In Physical Layer, you might want to modify date columns do be defined as Date and not the typial Varchar(10).
If you create a cube from scratch, it might be a good idea to create unique names in different columns and hierarchies.
Most columns in OBIEE have descriptor ID and as a result use it rather than the value you see in the column. To see the actual descriptor id, you can always create a filter on a value in analysis and select "convert to SQL".
After you discover the actual format, you can often mimic it when you try to navigate from cube to relational data.
One last but critical topic (that is relevant to Essbase users as well): In Connection Pool, mark the "use session" option. If you don't, when you cancel a request, the cancellation is not passed to the database. Since we usually cancel the most problematic queries, we are tired waiting for. It is important to cancel those queries on database as well.
Next time I will talk about specific use cases of Evaluate, to improve performance.

Facebook Working On Business Suite For Managing Social Media
Posted by coulsontechnologies On October 5, 2020
Social Media giant Facebook, recently announced a new app aimed at Enterprise users.
If you maintain an active corporate presence on Facebook and Instagram, you'll be particularly interested in the company's new offering.
It is designed to give business owners a dashboard that will make it easier to manage their company's social media presence, allowing users to post simultaneously to both Facebook and Instagram and receive notifications and alerts related to both platforms in a single location.
Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook, had this to say about the new app:
"We're building Facebook Business Suite for small businesses first, but this is a long-term investment to make this the main interface for businesses of all sizes who use Facebook, Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp. It is available for small businesses globally starting today and will expand to larger businesses next year."
The new Business Suite is the latest in a series of moves the company has been making in recent months as it pushes more earnestly into e-commerce. In May of this year (2020), the company rolled out a new set of tools allowing business owners to set up a digital storefront on Facebook and sell goods and services to their followers.
As Facebook's CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently noted, companies of all sizes have made significant investments into their digital footprints and are "increasingly viewing them as their primary storefronts. So we're working on a number of ways to deepen this experience, helping people buy items and services directly within our apps... Overall, though, our business depends on the success of small businesses, so this is a moment where we feel that we're well-positioned to be champions for small business' interests and supporters of important infrastructure that they're going to need in order to move online."
The bottom line is, if you use Facebook and/or Instagram, the new Business Suite is well worth a look.
