This IDC update provides Canadian ICT executives with a review of notable corporate announcements, recent market entrants, new alliances, and new service offerings from the recent research period and discusses implications that may affect the Canadian ICT industry moving forward.Highlights from this update include:Corporate announcements. The seventh-largest infrastructure hosting firm in Canada has grown by close to 800% over the past three years, and its market capitalization is larger than the combined value of the other top 10 vendors. Yet, until the past year, the firm had no employees or physical datacentre presence in Canada. Amazon Web Services' (AWS) arrival in 2016 cannot help but make waves ... though maybe not as big as one might expect.Organizational changes. The strategic transformation of the hardcopy industry from a hardware-centric model to a solutions- and services-driven approach took another blow as Xerox announced its intention to split into two companies -- one focused on services and one focused on technology. In IDC's view, Xerox's approach does offer the opportunity for greater agility, flexibility, and a more focused approach than its current situation.Acquisition and partnership activity. Dell's acquisition plans for EMC dominated the news in 4Q15, and in part to fund that acquisition, Dell has done it again with the announcement that it is ditching its 2009 acquisition of Perot Systems. While there will be challenges, IDC believes that Dell Services will complement NTT DATA Inc.'s capabilities, while NTT DATA will provide the former Perot organization with a more culturally similar home.Solution offerings. While not a sizable player in the Canadian market, Verizon's official exit from the hyperscale IaaS market provides yet another clear signal that taking on AWS means that challengers need to go big or go home.IDC compiles the Canadian ICT Competitive Activity Update from daily press releases, financial reports, publications, and professional insight. Items covered in this update do not represent an endorsement of any product, service, or provider. All figures in this update are in Canadian dollars (C$) unless otherwise specified.

Q: Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" - NullPointerException thrown when trying to fill ArrayList I've been programming in Java for a year or so now at an introductory level, and this is my first time working with Swing or any Java GUI. I'm not looking to become an expert with these kinds of GUIs, just trying to create a simple window of buttons with 2 grids that people can use to select a note and a quality for a chord (The program I'm working on rearranges jazz chords.) The segment causing the problem is one where I'm trying to fill an ArrayList<String> with different strings depending on which buttons are pressed. Here is the code in question, which is just a test of the GUI:
package chordvoicings;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.util.ArrayList;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

public class GUI extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
    private Button[] notes, qualities;
    ArrayList<String> noteArray, qualityArray;

    public GUI() {
        setLayout(new GridLayout(4, 3, 5, 5));

        notes = new Button[12];
        notes[0] = new Button("C");
        notes[1] = new Button("C#/Db");
        notes[2] = new Button("D");
        notes[3] = new Button("D#/Eb");
        notes[4] = new Button("E");
        notes[5] = new Button("F");
        notes[6] = new Button("F#/Gb");
        notes[7] = new Button("G");
        notes[8] = new Button("G#/Ab");
        notes[9] = new Button("A");
        notes[10] = new Button("A#/Bb");
        notes[11] = new Button("B");

        for (int i = 0; i <= 11; i++)
            notes[i].addActionListener(this);
        for (int i = 0; i <= 11; i++)
            add(notes[i]);

        setSize(300, 300);
        setVisible(true);

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new GUI();
    }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        String command = e.getActionCommand();

        if (command.equals("C")) {
            noteArray.add("C");
        }
        if (command.equals("C#/Db")) {
            noteArray.add("CS");
        }
        if (command.equals("D")) {
            noteArray.add("D");
        }
        if (command.equals("D#/Eb")) {
            noteArray.add("DS");
        }
        if (command.equals("E")) {
            noteArray.add("E");
        }
        if (command.equals("F")) {
            noteArray.add("F");
        }
        if (command.equals("F#/Gb")) {
            noteArray.add("FS");
        }
        if (command.equals("G")) {
            noteArray.add("G");
        }
        if (command.equals("G#/Ab")) {
            noteArray.add("GS");
        }
        if (command.equals("A")) {
            noteArray.add("A");
        }
        if (command.equals("A#/Bb")) {
            noteArray.add("AS");
        }
        if (command.equals("B")) {
            noteArray.add("B");
        }
    }
}

And here's the error text:

I must be doing something very wrong, as I only learned/copied code segments enough to fulfill my purpose (or so I thought.) I've done a lot of research, none of which answered my question, so could anyone offer advice on this matter, whether it's a better way to create an array of Strings using the ActionListener or just a different solution to this problem? I would be happy to provide other code segments of the project I'm working with if they're needed.
Thanks!

Пиш — кишлак в Дарморахте в Шугнанском районе Горно-Бадахшанской автономной области, Республика Таджикистан.

Этимология названия
Название «Пиш» в Дарморахте предположительно возникло на основе древних восточноиранских языков. Пиш — географическое название населённого пункта, иносказательно — «место наклонной поверхности, открытое для солнечных лучей» (). Современный Дарморахт — это сельсовет (), состоящий из кишлаков () Вируджак (Viruthjak), Гожак, Пиш и Нишусп. Дарморахт по народной этимологии означает «низовье Арахта» (букв. низовье — дверь Арахта; . Сам , что в переносном смысле означает «водопад» (), это населённый пункт, расположенный в верховье реки Арахт. Река Арахт вытекает из озера Шева, находящегося высоко в горах (высота над уровнем моря 3110 м), на территории Афганистана в провинции Бадахшан.

География
Кишлак расположен на правом берегу реки Пяндж у входа в узкое каменистое горное ущелье, на границе с Афганистаном, напротив Афганской провинции Бадахшан, в 20 км к югу от города Хорога. С областным центром кишлак связывает автомобильная дорога Р45 Хорог — Ишкашим. Расстояние до нового районного центра Миденшарв по автодороге М41 — 34 км, до Душанбе — 534 км (кратчайшее расстояние Хорог — Душанбе 514 км, через районный центр Сангвор — село Тавильдара, время в пути 9 часов). Ближайшие населённые пункты — Гожак (6 км), Нишусп (7 км). Население составляет 681 человек, высота над уровнем моря 2165 м. В Пиш ведёт узкая тропа, поднимающаяся вверх от автодороги в сторону ущелья и идущая по левому берегу маленькой речки Пишдара. Внизу по течению, перед впадением в реку Пяндж, Пишдара разделяет кишлак посередине на две части.

Дома в кишлаке построены друг над другом, как ступеньки, так как на крутом каменистом склоне отсутствуют плоские участки земли. В кишлаке Пиш, как и на всей территории Горно-Бадахшанской автономной области, действует единое время для Таджикистана, что соответствует часовому поясу UTC+5:00.

История
Кишлак Пиш на Памире в начале XVI века основали Амза Наврузбеков, Пулод Хусравов, Зикилло Мирзоев и Тоирбек Шукуллоев. Число первых домов было равно количеству их владельцев — четыре. Ими были построены 4 усадебных памирских дома, компактных и рациональных по планировке. Каждый из жилых домов в соответствии с традициями шиитов — исмаилитов был основан на 5 колоннах, носящих ритуально-религиозную символику и имеющих имена пророка Мухаммеда и членов его семьи Ахль аль-Байт: Фатима, Али, Хасан и Хусейн. Колонны служили опорой для верхнего деревянного перекрытия — внутренних частей потолка. Дом имел жилую комнату — «chid», имевшую четыре стены, сложенные путём кладки посередине в один ряд из рваных камней, которые заполнены по обеим сторонам на всю высоту стены глиняным раствором в 4 и более слоев, с добавлением измельченной соломы (для утепления и укрепления сейсмостойкости стен). Также были: гостевая комната — «qushkhona», кухня — «hujra», тамбур/коридор — «darun dahlez», терраса — «dahlez», крытая с кровлей на столбах. Помимо этого, имелись все необходимые надворные хозяйственные постройки: конюшня — «pasak»; комната для хранения запасов продуктов питания — «zidon»; загон для овец — овчарня «kheth» или «ghijid»; помещение для кур, курятник — «chakhjits» и сарай для хранения дров — «zhizdon». Также внутри основной жилой части дома было предусмотрено небольшое помещение наподобие полуподвала для ягнят — «jitsak», где они содержались после ягнения во время стужи. ( Светопроём естественного освещения по центру в потолке Памирского жилья — «chid chorkhona & rouz», Памирский дом — «chid» )

Климат
Климат субтропический, резко континентальный со значительными суточными и сезонными колебаниями температуры воздуха, с малым количеством осадков, сухостью воздуха и малой облачностью. Среднемесячная температура января — 8,1 °C. Это самая низкая средняя температура в течение года. 276 мм — среднегодовая норма осадков. Самый засушливый месяц — июль с осадками 0 мм. Большая часть осадков выпадает в марте, в среднем 59 мм. Самый теплый месяц года — июль со средней температурой 19,5 °C. Разница между количеством осадков между самым сухим и самым влажным месяцем — 52 мм. Средняя температура меняется в течение года на 27,6 °C..

Современное деление Шугнанского района

Инфраструктура, транспорт, связь, туризм и время
В посёлке имеются несколько магазинов и библиотека. Медицинское обслуживание жителей кишлака обеспечивают медпункт и участковая больница, расположенные в соседнем кишлаке Нишусп, и Хорогская областная больница. Также кишлак обслуживает операционная касса № 74/624 отделения «Амонатбанк» Государственного Сбербанка Республики Таджикистан. Ближайшее отделение скорой медицинской помощи расположено в г. Хороге. В кишлаке функционирует детский сад при средней общеобразовательной школе № 3. Посёлок электрифицирован. Кишлак связан автобусным сообщением с селом Нишусп и г. Хорогом. Прямой автобусный маршрут, связывающий посёлок с районным центром Миденшарв, отсутствует. В посёлке доступна сотовая связь 2G, обеспечиваемая операторами «», «MegaFon Tajikistan», «» и . Кишлак Пиш является уютным туристическим местом отдыха, здесь сдают в аренду туристам террасы — «dahlez», крытые с кровлей на столбах, или целые дома, что является для местных жителей дополнительным источником заработка.

Язык
Население Пиш говорят на шугнанском языке, который относится к восточноиранской группе иранских языков. Распространён в Шугнанском, Рошткалинском, Рушанском и Мургабском районах Горно-Бадахшанской автономной области Таджикистана.

Образование
В кишлаке Пиш функционирует средняя общеобразовательная школа № 3 имени Сайфиддина Шоҳинбодова (1955—1993):
«В 1931 году в кишлаке Пиша Шугнанского района открылась первая начальная школа, и первым учителем был Юноев Мехроб из кишлака Поршинев Шугнанского района. В этой школе учились около 15-20 учеников. Их столы и стулья были сделаны из дерева "ар -ар" (пирамидальный тополь), которые даже не подходили для детей. Школьники даже не знали, в каком классе они учатся. Это даже не было интересно. Учебный процесс вели с использованием латиницы. В школе изучали только два предмета: арифметика и родной язык. Школьники учились только писать. О грамматике даже речи и не шло, потому, что сам учитель не имел представления о грамматике. / 72 Ашурбеков Икромбек Фардои Дарморахт = [Дарморахт завтрашнего дня] (тадж.) // Маориф ва маданият. № 119, 4 октября. — С. 3 /»
«В 1933 году директором школы № 3 кишлака Пиш сельсовета Дарморахт Шугнанского района был назначен Ашурбеков Абдулҷон, а его жена Амзаева Курбонхотун, была назначена учительницей школы. / 73 Архиви мактаби № 3 к. Дарморахти н. Шугнон /»
В разные периоды существования школы директорами были: Юноев Мехроб (1931—1933), Ашурбеков Абдулҷон (1933—1936), Андалибов Сарбаланд (1936—1937), Саидбеков Абдулло (1937—1948), Одинаев Бозор (1948—1950), Пайшанбиев Шоҳинбод (1950—1954; 1977—1983, Отличник просвещения СССР) , Шолангаров Тутишо (1954—1958), Лутфуллоев Саидвали (1958—1959), Хушкадамова Зайнаб (1959—1964), Муборакшоев Шорухмирзо (1964—1977, Отличник просвещения СССР) , Гулбекова Гулсултон (1983—1985), Мирзоев Зикилло (1985—1993), Бозорова Орзуниссо (1993—2000, Отличник народного образования Таджикской ССР), Шораҳматуллоева Гулхотун (2000—2018, Отличник образования Таджикистана) и Косумбекова Реза (2018 — по н.в.).

Традиционные занятия и пища
Основными занятиями издревле являются животноводство и садоводство. В хозяйстве, в основном, содержат коз, реже овец и коров из-за скудности травяных участков вблизи кишлака. Кишлак отличается крайним малоземельем. Большую часть земель занимают скалы, крутые склоны, нагромождения камней. Ирригация осуществляется посредством арыков и отводится на оросительные борозды на посевы и фруктовые сады:
… надо преодолеть сухость климата, бедность каменистых почв и низкую продуктивность травостоев. Как это сделать? Труднее всего преодолеть сухость климата. Но осадков на Памире очень мало, а в самое жаркое время года их и вовсе нет. Зато в это жаркое время энергично тают ледники, и в реках избыток воды. Нельзя ли этот избыток использовать с толком? В нижнем, земледельческом, поясе горы Западного Памира изрезаны каналами и арыками, по которым вода подается из рек на клочки пахотной земли. И в самое жаркое время лета эти арыки переполнены водой. … Значить, если поливать склон умышленно (а поливать есть чем — летом в арыках воды избыток), то травостой улучшается. Об этом знали и прадед, и дед Юсуфбекова, и его отец.
«Много поколений земледельцев-ирригаторов изучаемых высокогорных долин сохраняли и приумножали опыт своих предков в ведении земледельческого хозяйства, основанного на террасировании склонов гор и самотечном арычном орошении.»

Домашние промыслы — выделка тканей, узорное вязание из цветной шерсти длинных носков, валяние кошмы, охота, кузнечное дело. Обработкой шерсти занимаются женщины, которые взбивают шерсть тетивой специального небольшого лука и прядут на ручном памирском веретене.

Основными продуктами питания являются: ош (лапша, приготовленная из черной гороховой муки), клецки — «klekhtsak» и лепёшки в дроблённом виде в основном для ширчой (чай с молоком) с добавлением сливочного масла (жители пьют часто), жидкой каши, фрукты, грецкие орехи, овечий сыр и кислое молоко. Еда из пшеницы или муки варятся с фруктами, с такими как урюк — «noshkhukhpa». К ритуальным кушаньям принадлежат блины, кусочки теста фигурные — «bursoq», жаренные в масле.

Day on Torts: Leading Cases in Tennessee Tort Law
Chapter 39: Invasion of Privacy
§39.7 False Light Invasion of Privacy – Limitation of Action
The Case: West v. Media General Convergence, Inc. , 53 S.W. 3d 640 (Tenn. 2001).
The Basic Facts: Plaintiffs operated a private probation services business, and were referred this business by the general sessions courts in Hamilton County. Plaintiffs claimed that WDEF-TV defamed them by broadcasting false statements that the plaintiffs' business is illegal. Plaintiff West, in particular, claimed that the defendant invaded her privacy by implying that she had a sexual relationship with one of the general session judges; and that the general sessions judges and the plaintiffs otherwise had a "cozy," and hence improper, relationship. The opinion in this case recognizes the tort of false light invasion of privacy.
The Bottom Line:
"[W]e recognize that application of different statutes of limitation for false light and defamation cases could undermine the effectiveness of limitations on defamation claims. Therefore, we hold that false light claims are subject to the statutes of limitation that apply to libel and slander, as stated in Tenn. Code Ann. §§ 28-3-103 and 28-3-104(a)(1), depending on the form of the publicity, whether in spoken or fixed form." 53 S.W. 3d at 648.
Recent Cases: Daniel v. Taylor , No. E2008-01248-COA-R3-CV, 2009 WL 774428 (Tenn. Ct. App. Mar. 25, 2009) (discussing limitation period applicable to false light claims and affirming dismissal of false light claim finding statute of limitations expired).

Raise your concerns about the Waterloo Metro Quarter
Crown Green Square
(6pm, Carriageworks Bay 17)
Thank you, Roy, [Marcellus, Crown Group] and hello, everyone.
I am delighted to be here tonight for the unveiling of Crown Green Square.
Infinity by Crown is an exciting example of the design excellence competition process that we've introduced at the City to lift design and architecture in Sydney. Together with the design community and far-sighted developers, we're building Sydney's global reputation as a city whose built environment is a fitting match for its stunning natural setting.
Plans to develop Green Square were announced in 1995, the Minister announced that the former industrial area of South Sydney would become the major urban renewal area of Sydney. By 2004 when my Independent Team were elected, the planned urban renewal was stymied by a host of difficulties:
the Town Centre was split between 18 government and private owners; residential infrastructure was poor; the land was contaminated and flooding was a major problem.
There was a lack of co-ordination and funding and no land had been set aside for public transport or other state infrastructure. So the City took the lead and from 2006, began co-ordinated planning and the delivery of infrastructure.
Infinity - on its landmark site on Botany Road and Bourke Street - is a powerful symbol of how far we've come since then, and of what this once down-at-heel industrial suburb will represent of Sydney in the future.
We have begun building the streets, parks and sporting and community facilities that will make this an outstanding place to live, work and play, with $440 million committed over the next decade to completing our vision. Work has started on a $100 million trunk drainage system that will solve the flooding issues.
At the heart of Green Square will be the new Town Centre. An international design competition for a library and public plaza was won by a young local firm, Stewart Hollenstein, with a scheme the jury chair, Glenn Murcutt, described as truly outstanding.
The DA and construction tender for that project are already approved.
We have another terrific design - again resulting from an international design competition - for an amazing ocean-pool-inspired aquatic centre with park, gym and sport field. It was won by another youngish Sydney practice, Andrew Burges Architects, with Grimshaw and TCL. Work should begin on that in early 2017.
Public art will also play a big part in establishing the character of Green Square, with the Connecting Project being commissioned to physically and conceptually unite the civic spine, linking the train station, the library and plaza, Drying Green Park, the former hospital site and the entire length of Zetland Avenue.
The hospital site itself will include a green infrastructure centre, a creative centre, a child-care centre, areas for sports, a new playground, the Matron Ruby Grant Park and art work.
The City has long argued that a light-rail extension to the area was essential and we acquired land for the corridor for that purpose, so of course we were enormously encouraged to hear the Transport Minister say this week that he wants to see light-rail extended to Green Square.
Transport is vital to a successful global city. So is a rich variety of choices for social and cultural life, and for night-time activities.
We recognise the commonality of interest between residents, the workforce and business. The sort of city which works for its residents is also the city which can attract the best global talent.
Our work has resulted in the City of Sydney becoming one of the fastest-growing residential areas in Australia.
In the next few years, as Green Square takes shape, the City's residential population is set to exceed 230,000 by 2018 while private investment in the City overall will entail an estimated $30-$40 billion in the next decade.
To make Sydney's recent economic successes on-going and sustainable, and to set the path for its continuous success well into this century - for the benefit of metropolitan Sydney, of NSW and Australia, we need to continue to aim high and to create a quality environment.
With our growing services economy, our highly-skilled workforce, and our city's physical attractions, Sydney is one of the world's most compelling global destinations. Developments like Infinity will add to that appeal, and I congratulate everyone involved in bringing it to this point.
Clover Moore is a community advocate, a champion for progressive policies and the longest serving Lord Mayor of Sydney. Under her independent leadership, Sydney has developed a global reputation for taking ambitious action on climate change, delivering award-winning facilities, protecting open space, promoting design excellence, delivering new transport options and initiating progressive solutions to complex social problems.

Best Investing Books of 2020 Get smart and get rich
Whether you're an experienced trader or you're just starting out with your first investment, it always pays to have a good understanding of the rules and trends and to keep abreast of them as they change. Tips on technique and insights from those investors who have excelled can come in pretty handy, too. Read up to find out what others are doing and how and why they've been so successful before you invest your next dollar. We Have made our own Best Investing Books list of 2022 – Get smart and get rich – And few of them you can find under Finance Book Review section.
Best Overall from Investing Books in 2022 – The Intelligent Investor
Before his death, "The Intelligent Investor" author Benjamin Graham was a renowned professor known as the godfather of investing, and Jason Zweig, The Wall Street Journal columnist, adds in some commentary in this revised edition.
This book takes a different approach from other investing books, although it's not without positive encouragement. It won't tell you how to make millions, but rather how not to lose your shirt. The authors impart must-read basics to get you started in investing and keep you going for a long time, from recommended strategies and how to analyze stocks to a comprehensive history lesson on the stock market.
Graham published the first edition of this book in 1949, and Buffett himself has called that version "the best book on investing ever written."
Runner-Up, Best Overall from Investing Books – The Little Book of Common Sense Investing
John C. Bogle is credited with creating the first-ever index fund, so he surely knew a good bit about investing. He was also the founder of Vanguard Group, and it was rumoured that he and Buffett were the best of friends. Buffet even gave his endorsement to Bogle's book, saying that "investors large and small" should read it.
"The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Guarantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns" takes the surprising approach that for many investors, the stock market is a lose-lose proposition. Bogle then explains what he learned to turn the odds in his favour. This isn't his only book, but it's the one that manages to cover his own personal innovative techniques and truths in a relatively short and easy read.
Best Essay Collection – The Essays of Warren Buffett
The fourth edition of "The Essays of Warren Buffett: Lessons for Corporate America" was released in 2015, and it's a worthy read for learning from the very best. You'd be hard-pressed to name a more successful investor than Buffett, and he's taken the time to share what he knows and has learned on the subject over the years.
The title addresses "corporate America," but you can take that to include shareholders. The book offers an excellent explanation of the relationship between corporations and their shareholders, which makes it ideal for those new to investing. Plus, this collection of essays spans more than 50 years.
Best Investing Books for Beginners – A Random Walk Down Wall Street
Investing doesn't necessarily mean you devote hours on managing a broad-based, extensive portfolio, and Burton Malkiel knows that. "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" is invaluable reading for those who are trying to get a handle on their first 401(k)s. First, you have to learn to talk the talk, or at least understand what's being said when someone else speaks it.
Malkiel's book includes some handy definitions of investment terms, and it applies them to various investment strategies geared toward different stages in life. He emphasizes long-term investments rather than get-rich-quick schemes, and how to predict prices and avoid common mistakes. This is a revised edition of a book that's been around for a while. "A Random Walk" has sold more than 1.5 million copies to date.
Best Psychological Book – Thinking, Fast and Slow
Daniel Kahneman knows a thing or two about thinking — he's a psychology professor at Princeton University and knows a lot about finances, having won the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
His New York Times bestseller, "Thinking, Fast and Slow," delves into how your thought processes can affect your success in investing. Everyone harbours their own little biases, sometimes subconsciously. Kahneman explains how to identify your own and lock them away so you can make investment decisions without their input, thinking clearly, rationally, and analytically. Note that this book isn't just about investing, although that's its focus. Kahneman also explains how biases can affect our everyday lives and other financial decisions.
Best Skill-Building Investing Books – One Up on Wall Street
"One Up On Wall Street: How to Use What You Already Know to Make Money in the Market" throws down a challenge flag to beat the beast. Author Peter Lynch says it's not only possible for newbie investors to do as well as — if not better than — the pros, but he maintains they already have everything it takes right at their fingertips.
Lynch believes that solid investment opportunities are everywhere. They litter the ground at our feet and we just have to stop walking so fast, pause in our everyday lives, and bend down to inspect the clutter so we can pluck out the most viable options. In doing so, we can beat the pros to the punchline and get in on an investment before the rest of the world realizes its potential.
"One Up on Wall Street" has sold more than 1 million copies since its release in 2000. The New York Times says Lynch, a renowned investor in his own right, is "in a league by himself."
Best for Inspiration – Principles: Life and Work
This No. 1 New York Times bestseller is written by one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people in the world. An average, middle-class kid who grew up in Long Island, Ray Dalio began his investment firm in his New York apartment. Forty years later, Fortune named his company, Bridgewater Associates, one of the five most important in the U.S.
"Principles: Life and Work" is part autobiography, part instructional. Dalio shares his secrets and insights and explains how businesses, individuals, and organizations can adopt them, including a set of rules for applying them to investing, life, your business, and your finances in general.
Best Classic from Investing Books – The Only Investment Guide You'll Ever Need
This book has been around for over 40 years and for good reason. The Los Angeles Times says it "actually lives up to its name." Don't worry — it's not antiquated with advice from the 70s. It was recently updated in 2016 to keep pace with the current economy and trends.
Andrew Tobias doesn't just address the wealthy investor. He offers tips and guidance for those with more limited capital, and he does it in a frank, easy-to-understand, and often humorous language. He dedicates the book to his broker, who, he says, "from time to time made me just that." This book has helped educate over 1 million readers to date.
Best for Real Estate Investing – The Book on Rental Property Investing
If you're looking to profit off of rental properties, opt for this great starter book, "The Book on Rental Property Investing: How to Create Wealth and Passive Income Through Smart Buy & Hold Real Estate Investing." In almost 400 pages, author Brandon Turner breaks down the tips and tricks you'll need to become a successful rental property investor. Reviewers praise the practical, "how-to" style of this investment book, making it suitable for both beginners and experts. You'll learn about the author's four easy strategies, how to find incredible deals, ways to pay for your rentals, why so many real estate investors fail, and more. You can trust Turner's advice, too, as he's an active real estate investor and co-host of The BiggerPockets Podcasts, one of the top business podcasts today.

"Our continuing partnerships with a whole host of key industry associations reinforce the importance of The Fire Safety Event for the market and the need for an event like ours in the UK," says Rachel Godfrey, events manager.
The seminar program has been designed to engage and educate the audience. It is delivered across four areas – Fire Safety Keynote Theatre, Fire & Evacuation Theatre, DSEAR (Dangerous Substance and Explosive Atmospheres Regulation) with a Bang Demo Area, and Tall Buildings Fire Protection Area.
The seminar program is CPD-accredited and is delivered by leading industry experts, government officials, lawyers and manufacturersThe seminar program is CPD (Continuing Professional Development)-accredited and is delivered by leading industry experts, government officials, lawyers and manufacturers. Also featured are less conventional seminar formats, with Pinsent Mason welcoming audiences into a mock trial based on real life prosecution under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
As the event grows in stature, it has been able to attract a higher profile speaker lineup, including Dame Judith Hackitt and former New York City Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano as two of the keynote speakers this year. "This undoubtedly has helped attract our highest number of visitors and exhibitors to date," says Godfrey.
Also taking place at the NEC between 9-11th April are The Health & Safety Event, The Facilities Event, and, new for 2019 – The Security Event. One of the key benefits for visitors of the co-location of the events is the complementary seminars taking place within the other shows that are relevant to the fire audience.

Q: Visual studio web api linq problems i have a little problem with my controller. I have a database filled with players from fifa (Playersk as key,name and rating).
In my playercontroller.cs i can use
// GET: api/Player
        public IEnumerable<Player> Get( )
        {
            DataClasses1DataContext db = new DataClasses1DataContext();
            return db.Players;
        }

and
 //GET: api/Player/3
        public Player Get(int id)
        {
            DataClasses1DataContext db = new DataClasses1DataContext();
            return db.Players.Where(x => x.Playersk == id).FirstOrDefault();
        }

just fine by using http://localhost:63991/xyz.
However,i need to use their name and not their id. I'm stuck with this:
//GET: api/Player/Beckenbauer
        public Player Get(string playername)
        {
            DataClasses1DataContext db = new DataClasses1DataContext();
            return db.Players.Where(x => x.Name.Contains(playername)).FirstOrDefault();
        }

This gives me the same result as the first one,a json/xml(depends on my browser) with the complete table and not a filtered one.
What am i missing?

A: I believe you have only default route in your application with optional id parameter:
httpConfig.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
    name: "DefaultApi",
    routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
    defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
)

Thus id is optional, this route is still selected when id doesn't present in the request. And your request with player name is mapped to api/player route which returns you all players.
You should create a route with playername parameter. The simplest way to do that is route attributes.
[Route("api/player/{playername}")]
public Player Get(string playername)

Don't forget to enable attributes configuration:
httpConfig.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

Note: returning the first player which contains given name x.Name.Contains(playername) will cause a problem for names which are contained in other names - e.g. Herman is contained in Hermannsson. Or even more - the player name is not unique thing and it cannot be used as the identity for the player entity. It's totally OK for two persons to have same names. So I believe api/player/playername endpoint should return a collection of players. Also by convention cotroller name should be in plural form: api/players/42.

Jamaica College thrash St Mary's College 13-0
Daniel Wheeler - Staff Reporter
File Davion Ferguson
Jamaica's College showed no mercy in their ISSA/Digicel Manning Cup Group B opener, giving head coach Davion Ferguson optimism about the youth on his team but a warning regarding the need for his squad to not let their standards drop.
JC thrashed St Mary's College 13-0 yesterday at the Ashenheim Stadium, thanks to braces from J'Havier Lynch (7th and 21st minutes), Dyllan John (22nd and 80th) and Dontae Logan (61st and 86th). Jayd Johnson (31st) Amarlie King (39th), Thyeim Shaw (45th), Maquan Aldridge (48th) Giovanni Taylor (52nd), Renaldo Barrett (84th) and Shaheim Pratt (89th) added goals in an offensive onslaught that saw them lead 6-0 at halftime.
While pleased with the result, Ferguson was not satisfied with the discipline that the team displayed throughout the game. However, he was pleased with being able to give youngsters Taylor and Logan a chance to shine as well as being able to contribute immediately to the team's efforts.
"In some moments we did quite well and in some moments we did quite poorly. The fact that we played a 14-year-old and two 15-year-old today and both of them got on the scoresheet for me is a plus. These youngsters are the future and we try as best as possible (to nurture them). I think this was a game that we could have given opportunities to a lot of them and they grabbed it," Ferguson told STAR Sports.
Ferguson said that while there are concerns about the overall execution, he has exercised patience with his team, confident that they will be able to improve as the campaign progresses.
"I haven't seen many teams so far but in my mind every game possesses different challenges and I think that the next game will also pose its own challenges. We have to deal with that and we just have to be in the frame of mind to take each game as it comes," Ferguson said.


Bromelain is an enzyme present in all parts of the pineapple and it's own little natural medicine chest of goodness. It's anti-inflammatory benefits are significant and being used in the treatment of arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and more. Recent studies have found it to be effective in reducing sinusitus and nasal congestion due to colds. The list goes on and on, but with this juice combo you'll enjoy a hearty serving bromelain wrapped in a minty ginger blast. This kit makes enough for at least 2 servings. When juicing; use half of the ingredients in one juicing for 2, then the other half for another juicing for 2.

Namaacha ist eine Kleinstadt (vila) in der Provinz Maputo im Süden Mosambiks, nahe der Grenze zu Eswatini. Namaacha ist ein Verwaltungsposten (posto administrativo) und der Hauptort des gleichnamigen Distrikts. Der Ortsname leitet sich von Lomahasha, dem Namen eines früheren Stammesherrschers in der Region ab.

Geographie
Die Stadt befindet sich am Rande der Lebomboberge, ein Gebirgszug der sich von Mosambik bis nach KwaZulu-Natal in Südafrika zieht. Zwischen der Hauptstadt Maputo und Namaacha liegen gut 75 Kilometer. In dem Ort (bzw. im Gebiet des Verwaltungspostens gleichen Namens) lebten zum 1. Januar 2005 etwa 29.272 Menschen. Zu Namaacha werden auch die umliegenden Ortschaften Kala-Kala, Chimachuanine, Impaputo, Mafuiane und Matsequenha dazugezählt. Damit ist der Verwaltungsposten selbst 1372 Quadratkilometer groß.

Durch den Ort führt die Fernstraße EN2, die Eswatini mit dem Ballungsraum um Maputo verbindet. Bedeutung hat der Ort deshalb vor allem durch den Grenzverkehr von und nach Eswatini, da sich unweit der Grenzposten Namaacha/Lomahasha befindet.

Geschichte

Namaacha wurde am 20. April 1964, noch zu Kolonialzeiten, zu einer Kleinstadt (vila) erhoben. 2008 kündigte die Regierung Mosambiks an zehn neue Munizipien (in etwa Stadtkreise, portugiesisch: município) zu gründen, dazu gehörte auch Namaacha. Die Schaffung eines Munizips ist vor allem mit dem Privileg verbunden, die Lokalverwaltung bei den Kommunalwahlen selbst wählen zu können. Bei den Kommunalwahlen 2008 und 2013 wurde Jorge Tinga (FRELIMO) zum Bürgermeister gewählt.

Seit 1998 pflegt Namaacha eine Städtepartnerschaft mit dem portugiesischen Ort Santa Comba Dão.

Sehenswürdigkeiten
Im Ort befindet sich eine bedeutende Kirche, sie trägt den Namen Igreja da Nossa Senhora de Fátima, sie wurde 1944 geweiht. Des Weiteren sind die Wasserfälle von Namaacha regional bekannt.

This is a chapter in a catalogue of a major travelling exhibition 'International Arts and Crafts' held at the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2005 which also travelled to Indianapolis and San Francisco, organised by the Victoria and Albert Museum in 2006. The curatorial intention of this exhibition lies in the influence of the English Arts & Crafts movement in the world, in particular, in the USA, the European Continent and Japan, and its local appropriation. Japan's case was treated as a unique example of its appropriation by using indigenously grown visual culture.
This essay outlines the chronological development of Mingei theory and the Mingei movement. It focuses on the 'hybrid' nature of Mingei theory for which Yanagi Sōetsu, the leader of the Mingei Movement, creatively appropriated the ideas of the English Arts and Crafts movement. Although the curators resisted my original emphasis on the context of Japanese nationalism and imperialism, the essay succeeded in offering the V&A's audience a new perspective on the Mingei movement by placing it in the international context of modern movements by emphasising the close ideological relation to the English movement.

A white sapphire is a completely colorless sapphire. No trace elements are present and it is sometimes used as an alternative to diamonds.


"I am a child of the universe, no less than the moon and the trees and the stars" … and so are you. The trouble is, we forget.
I am a lover of life. I am a poet, writer & a yoga + pranayama + mindfulness educator, though you'll rarely find me in the classroom anymore. I am those things and so much more–a vulnerable, highly sensitive, hoola hooping, raw juice making, nature loving, yogini goddess reclaiming my power as a woman. I go outside every day. I try to live with the moon and the seasons. Creativity is my birthright and I will spend the rest of my days owning that amazing privilege.
I self published an e-book on yoga and am working on another book, mostly poems and anecdotes about living an embodied, soulful, nature-filled, mindful life.
I blog about being a soul in a human body. I used to obsess about the deeper meaning of why we are here, but now I see that the purpose of life is to live. I study and write about synchronicities and embodiment and archetypes. I also write, as truthfully as I can, about how life is moving through. I keep a Commonplace Book to stay organized and watch the larger flow of my unfoldment. I am deeply flawed, but do my best to live mindfully and with intention.
Thanks for stopping by; please say hello!

Our cloud videos are equivalent to Youtube HD specifications. If your devices will play Youtube videos, then they will play ours.
Each Digital Kiosk consists of a digital media player and a display or TV. You may be able to convert your existing flat screen TV's into Digital Kiosks as long as they have an open HDMI input. To complete the conversion you will likely need to add media players to each existing TV.
These 12-cm long (4.7-in.) digital media players are actually fully functional Chromebook computers with a main quad-core processor plus a quad-core GPU, 2GB of memory 16GB of internal storage and come optimized for HD video playback. This will insure your HD media plays seamlessly and your wireless bandwidth is not under constant duress.
In addition to the media player, you may also need to acquire a Chrome Enterprise Console license and/or other Google license for each device to operate your Chrome mobile computers in kiosk mode. A perpetual education license costs about $30-50 each (one time fee and transferrable), depending on whether or not you get it directly from Google or from one of their authorized partners. Oddly, the partners generally have better pricing. Pricing for non-education locations are somewhat higher.
A keyboard and mouse will be required for setup and troubleshooting. Please see the Mobile Keyboards tab for details.
If your Wifi is not up to par, you may consider using a Google Chromebox as your media player. These devices have a Ethernet connection built-in. Even though these device have hard-wired reliability, they are more expensive than the Chromebit mobile computers and the expense of running Ethernet cable to each device / screen along with the other associated costs however, may make this option not very cost effective. A much better use of funds would be to upgrade the Wifi in your facility. FYI, Chromebooks; Chromebox and Chromebit are all basically the same device in different form factors and configurations. The Chromebit is by far the best choice for a digital signage application.
These commercial grade displays are engineered to operate 16 hours a day/7 days a week and include a 3-year on-site warranty from the manufacturer.
The Chromebit Mobile Computers require a keyboard and mouse (USB or Bluetooth) for initial setup as well as troubleshooting. Once the unit is placed in Kiosk mode, the unit can be managed from a remote console. The connected keyboard and mouse can then be removed and may not be needed again unless troubleshooting is required beyond the capability of the remote console connection.
The Chromebit Mobile Computer only comes with one USB port, therefore, a USB hub will be required to connect two or more cabled/tethered devices such as a standard keyboard and mouse. Depending on the keyboard and mouse used, such as backlit devices, a powered hub may be required. Some wireless USB keyboard/mouse units may also require a powered USB hub to accommodate the power draw of the wireless receiver.
Some Bluetooth wireless USB keyboard/mouse units may require a powered USB hub to accommodate the power draw of the wireless receiver.
If your situation requires using a USB hub, the mobile computer manufacturer recommends using a powered one. Detailed instructions from the manufacturer are here.
Everytime you buy a desktop computer, they usually come with a keyboard and mouse with USB cabled connections. You probably have one or two in a closet somewhere. If this is the case, you probably just need to get a standard USB hub. You could also just unplug (borrow) these device from any of your existing desktop computers and return them when you're finished setting up your mobile computer(s).

Bryncoed Camping is an eco retreat for walkers, families and lovers of the coast line
Bryncoed Camping is a Greener Camping Club site in the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park
Set in 12.5 acres of meadows, hedgerows and mature trees, Bryncoed Camping is an eco retreat for walkers, families and lovers of the coast line. With just 10 pitches, and away from busy roads and towns, it is an oasis of peace and quiet, with virtually no light pollution at night. Each pitch has its own fire pit for evenings spent stargazing and relaxing after a day at the beach, walking the coastal path, or visiting one of the many Iron Age sites that Pembrokeshire is famous for.
The 10 spacious pitches are spread out over 5 acres of natural pasture. Red kites, buzzards, swallows and a host of other birds are regular visitors, and foxes, owls and badgers can be spotted at night. The camping areas are car-free zones and access to the camping pitches is on foot only (max 100m), with wheelbarrows provided to transport tents and other belongings. Bryncoed Camping is a dog-free site.
SECLUDED PITCHES
Want to feel really hidden away? Then choose our camping pitches in Red Kite Meadow, surrounded by broad leaf native trees and the sound of the stream. There are three pitches in Red Kite Meadow, and they can be booked for a larger group camping together who wish to have the camping area to themselves.
Newport Sands is our closest beach, at just 8 minutes drive away (we've timed it!). This beach has everything you could ask for – perfect for swimming, kite flying and rockpooling, and strolls along the shore line. The gradient is very gentle so ideal for younger children to paddle. Other beaches nearby include Poppit Sands, Ceibwr Bay, Pwllgwaelod, and Aberfforest.
STUNNING LANDSCAPE AND HISTORICAL SITES
Pembrokeshire Coast National Park was established to protect and celebrate the incredible geology and scenery of Pembrokeshire's coastline. There are walks of all lengths and difficulty rating, many of which can be accessed on foot from the campsite. North Pembrokeshire boasts one of the greatest concentration of intact and still visible archaelogical sites, and many are just a stone's throw from Bryncoed Camping.
Facilities Included:
Fire pit per pitch
Freezer for ice blocks
Washing up station
Drinking water point
Recycling area
Mobile phone charging point

What does it mean to be human? This question has long been the basis of inquiry in the humanities, which encompass a wide variety of disciplines at Puget Sound. The Interdisciplinary Humanities Emphasis (IHE) allows students to engage with questions of enduring significance while tackling some of the most pressing issues that confront our society today, including environmental crisis, technological change, systemic racism and xenophobia, the breakdown of civil society and political discourse, war between religions, and changing conceptions of gender and sexualities.
The IHE's seven innovative pathways are designed to complement any major, and allow students to customize their own academic experiences while simultaneously fulfilling core and graduation requirements. Students who complete the emphasis become strong writers, researchers, and thinkers able to respond thoughtfully and solve problems creatively.
A student who satisfies the requirements within a single pathway is eligible to receive the Interdisciplinary Humanities Emphasis designation on their transcript. This notation signals that the student has, through significant thematic, interdisciplinary study, mastered the skills of critical and creative thinking and of clear and effective writing fostered by the humanities disciplines. These skills form the basis for engaged citizenship and professional success in virtually any career.
The program also offers interdisciplinary courses that are not incorporated into the pathways, but draw on several disciplines to explore a focused topic.
The Artist as Humanist
The Global Middle Ages
Challenging Inequality, Leading Social Change: Issues of Gender
Challenging Inequality, Leading Social Change: Issues of Race and Ethnicity
Science and Values
Empire, Colonialism, and Resistance
ALUMNA
Genevieve Caskey '20
"Supplementing my interest in world history I have also taken classes in Sociology and Anthropology, African American Studies, and Art History, in order to engage with themes of identity and culture internationally so as to enrich my history education. The IHE... has been a perfect encapsulation of this goal, as it allows me to take engaging classes or varying disciplines in a way that feels structured."

SAMPLE COURSES
HUM 290
Introduction to Cinema Studies
In this course, students develop the expertise necessary to communicate intelligently about the artistic medium of film. Drawing on the expertise of two professors, students consider key terminology related to mise-en-scene, editing, and sound; apply those concepts to a wide variety of examples from the advent of film to the present; and begin considering critical approaches to the medium. In addition to regular class sessions, film screenings are required.
Artistic Approaches
Students who have HUM 290 transfer credit may not take this course.
The Monstrous Middle Ages
Why does monstrosity assume such a visible place in medieval culture? Gothic babwyns (grotesques) gambol in the margins of liturgical manuscripts, function as downspouts on cathedrals, and appear in epics and chivalric romances as forces of both good and evil. This course explores medieval ontology, the nature of creation, and our human ability to know it fully, through the monstrous. The course begins with an art historical introduction to Classical theories of monstrosity reflected in visual traditions that medieval artists and writers inherited. The role of the monstrous in pagan, classical culture serves as a contrast to the place monsters assume in the evolving Christian contexts the course sets forth as interdisciplinary case studies in medieval monstrosity. Each case study sets up a historical context for the study of monstrosity, informed by a specific material and literary culture. Recent research in art history, geography, anthropology, literary history, and cultural studies inform the course's interdisciplinary format.
Tao and Landscape Art
Taoism is one of the most influential beliefs in East Asia, and is perfectly embodied in landscape art. As a significant visual tradition in the world, this landscape art reveals the complicated relationships between man and self, man and man, man and society, and, above all, man and nature. From an interdisciplinary perspective the course examines the richness of this cultural heritage. The achievements of Taoist landscape art in China, Korea, and Japan are approached through slide lectures, museum visits, creative work sessions, writing assignments, group discussion, and class presentation of research project. The emphasis is placed on students' comprehension of Taoism and appreciation of landscape art and their capacity to explore the intricate relationships between art and religion.
Library as Collaboratory
Expressly designed as an experiential learning opportunity, this course invites students to dive into the workings of a 21st century library by undertaking, completing, and documenting a small library project. Specific project roles include: Metadata Creator, Exhibit Curator, Instructional Designer, Digital Publisher, and Transcriptionist/Historical Investigator. Along the way, students are asked to actively reflect on their educational experiences at the University of Puget Sound and to begin to articulate a growing repertoire of skills in critical thinking, communication, research, creative problem-solving, and ethical decision making. Pass/fail grading only.
