Perth Commercial Property launches to provide top-notch customer service to commercial real estate clients.
Real estate agents Anna Lynch and Marc Valentine recently launched Perth Commercial Property to offer better service in the commercial real estate industry.
"As both buyers and sellers of real estate, we've had extensive experience on both sides of the table in real estate transactions. We ourselves were unhappy with the customer service we've received from real estate agents, so we've decided to launch our commercial realty firm based on the tenet of delivering outstanding service," said Ms. Lynch.
"We're committed to be stand-outs in Perth commercial real estate – to be the one company that people love to recommend to their friends. That's our mission," she continued.
Marc Valentine is Anna Lynch's business partner, and manages the back end business of Perth Commercial Property.
"I develop and maintain the company website, and do all the marketing while Anna's out servicing our clients," said Mr. Valentine.
Anna Lynch is a chartered accountant and has a shelf full of real estate industry awards.
She has many returning clients who value the outstanding service and expertise they receive from her.
"We appointed Anna to sell the building, having had underwhelming service from some of the large property companies. Her follow up on one of the initial prospects culminated in a sale. Anna has a lovely friendly personality and being a chartered accountant is very businesslike," says a client from Osborne Park.
"We gave the premises to another real estate agent for six months; they didn't have a single enquiry. Anna on the other hand was able to let the premises in less than 2 months," said Lal Wangara.
"Anna worked diligently in the best interests of her clients. She explained the paperwork and steps along the way fully and with care. She was consistently pleasant, efficient and always willing to clarify any queries. Anna's professionalism and communication skills undoubtedly made the sale experience as smooth and straightforward as possible," said J R. Laurent, an investor.
Business owners and investors who want to deal with experts in Perth commercial realty and who value great customer service can contact the team at Perth Commercial Property.
Anna Lynch and Marc Valentine established Perth Commercial Property in 2012 after they have had enough with the low level of customer service in the real estate industry. Committed to providing a high level of customer service in the commercial realty industry, Anna and Marc show up to work each day asking themselves how they can serve their clients better. Their mission is to be different and better than everyone else in their industry by delivering outstanding service.

University of Strathclyde: Honorary degree for champion for global equality of access to clean, safe toilets
By iednewsdesk	 On Jan 13, 2022
A University of Strathclyde alumnus who is a leading advocate for global equality of access to clean and safe toilets has been honoured by his alma mater.
Jack Sim, founder of the World Toilet Organization (WTO), was presented with an honorary degree by Strathclyde.
Having started work as a construction site supervisor, Mr Sim was encouraged by an investor to start his own businesses – ultimately going on to obtain numerous qualifications and establishing 16 companies between the ages of 24 and 40 – becoming a self-made millionaire by age 30.
At age 40, Mr Sim, who graduated in 2004 with a Postgraduate Diploma in International Marketing from Strathclyde and is an Adjunct Associate Professor at the National University of Singapore, turned his attention full-time to social causes in pursuit of greater fulfilment. In 2001 he established the WTO, a non-profit committed to improving sanitation conditions and access to toilets worldwide and generating discussion about the issue.
Poor sanitation
According to the United Nations (UN), almost two billion people around the world lack access to basic sanitation facilities such as toilets or latrines. Of these, 673 million still defecate in the open, with poor sanitation linked to transmission of diseases such as cholera, diarrhoea and dysentery. Lack of access to toilets increases anxiety, risk of sexual assault, and lost educational opportunities.
Jack Sim
The WTO established World Toilet Day and the World Toilet Summit in 2001; this was followed by the World Toilet College in 2005 and, as a result of WTO's efforts, all 193 countries of the UN General Assembly declared 19 November World Toilet Day as an official UN day in 2013.
Through its various initiatives, WTO continues to provide an international platform for toilet associations, governments, academic institutions, foundations, UN agencies and corporate stakeholders to exchange knowledge and leverage media and corporate support in an effort to promote clean sanitation and public health policies.
Mr Sim also launched the Base of the Pyramid Hub, an initiative to support social entrepreneurs to create businesses that help end poverty and address the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
He said: "A clean and safe toilet ensures health, dignity and well-being — yet 40% of the world's population does not have access to toilets.
"Almost half of the schools in the world do not have handwashing facilities with soap and water available to students. Clean and safe toilets help keep more girls in school and increase attendance rates. Globally, at least two billion people use a drinking water source contaminated with faeces.
"I am very proud to accept this honour on the 20th anniversary of the World Toilet Organization, to raise awareness of this important issue with the students of Strathclyde and to share my motto with them: Live a useful life and leave a legacy of goodness."
Inspirational figure
Professor Sir Jim McDonald, Principal & Vice-Chancellor of the University of Strathclyde, said: "Jack Sim is an inspirational figure who has not only proven himself to be an adept entrepreneur and businessman, but also a great leader when it comes to championing social justice, equality and health.
"Using humour, creativity and determination, coupled with a deep-rooted belief in helping others, he raises awareness of the serious issues related to lack of sanitation and clean water for a large part of the world's population.
"His dedication to this cause is inspiring and he is helping to improve life for countless people by enabling them to access something most of us take for granted.
Jack's work on achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals, through his support of social entrepreneurs and his belief in the power of enterprise to tackle poverty, aligns with our own efforts in this area, led by our Centre for Sustainable Development, and in our emphasis on putting entrepreneurialism at the heart of our teaching. We are delighted to honour Jack for his work.
In 2006, Mr Sim was invited to launch The German Toilet Organisation in Berlin. He is also a founding member of American Restroom Association. In 2007, he became one of the key members to convene the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance comprising more than 130 organisations active in the sanitation sector. Mr Sim is also an Ashoka Global Fellow and in 2008 was named Hero of the Environment by Time Magazine. He also sits in the World Economic Forum's Global Agenda Councils for Water Security and also the GAC for Social Entrepreneurship. In 2018 he was presented with a Points of Light Award from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II for his work in galvanising worldwide support for improved sanitation.

As part of the continual effort to provide additional clarity around the changes in each title update, we bring to you another Pitch Notes article focused on the third title update for FIFA 19, which is available now for all PC players, and it is slated to arrive on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in the near future.
The most significant impact of this adjustment will be seen when the ball is coming into the player from directly behind them (180 degrees), with a reduction in the impact of the change scaling depending on the angle of the ball coming into the player, with the change only impacting balls coming in from between 135 degrees up to 225 degrees. The diagram below illustrates the angles affected by this change, where 0 degrees is directly in front of the player.
To give some context of how this change will impact these kicks, we have an example of 100 finesse shots being taken by Kevin De Bruyne prior to the title update, and after the title update, with examples of the ball coming in to the player at both 180 degrees and 135 degrees. The blue lines show shots that would have been on the net, which could end up as saves by the keeper or could end up being goals, while the red lines show shots that would have been off target.
As seen below, after the title update, more shots are being miss-hit, and the spread of the shots is now more varied.
As seen below, when the ball is coming in at a 135 degree angle, the difference before and after the title update is minimal, highlighting the comparison between the impact of the change when the ball is coming in at 180 degrees versus 135 degrees.
In situations where a shooting player was receiving pressure from defending players that were in front of them, we identified that the impact of this pressure was not affecting the shooting player enough, resulting in a success rate of shooting that is not in line with what you would see on the pitch. Below you can see an example of 100 shots by Romelu Lukaku from before the title update, and after, highlighting how, after the title update, the effectiveness of the shots has been reduced, with more of them missing the target.
In situations where a shooting player was receiving pressure from defending players that were behind them, we identified that the impact of this pressure was having too much effect on the shooting player, resulting in lower shooting success than expected. Below you can see an example of 100 shots by Romelu Lukaku from before the title update and after, showing that after the title update, more shots are on target and the overall effectiveness of shooting from that position has increased.
We were seeing that, in situations where an attacking player was trying to take a shot in an easy situation, such as when they had no pressure from defending players, or when they were not off balance, that shots that had been successfully aimed into the net and that were targeting a location that was near to the post, were missing the net more often than they should. We have made some adjustments that has reduced the likelihood of these shots missing the net. Below you can see an example of 100 shots in an easy situation from Neymar Jr. from before and after the title update, illustrating that after the title update, the spread of the shots is much tighter, increasing the effectiveness of taking a shot when in this situation.
Coming with this title update are 50 new starheads, 48 for players and 2 for managers. These will be usable in-game once a pair of server releases goes live, which is planned for shortly after the release of the title update on each platform. Make sure to follow @EASPORTSFIFA on Twitter for updates on when they can be used in-game.
Please Note: This article is describing in general terms what updates are implemented in Patch #3 in FIFA 19 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. We are constantly looking to improve the gameplay experience for everyone, so this article may become outdated as we make adjustments to keep our game fun for everyone.

Q: Idiomatic expression meaning to not reveal emotions In Swedish - which is my native tongue - there's an expression "hålla färgen" (literally: "hold color") which means to not reveal oneself or to not reveal ones emotions or thoughts about something. Quite similar to having a poker face I guess.
I'm looking for an english equivalent in verb form i.e it should be something you do instead of something you have.
Edit:
To address the comment about context with an example:
"A month after the bad break-up they met again but he was trying his hardest to ... " (hålla färgen).
In this example he tries not show his emotions, in a way he's "keeping up appearances". He tries to act as if this has not bothered him. Maybe keeping up appearances is what I'm looking for here.

A: As you say, Poker face is the best.  It can be used as the object in a sentence:
"He wore / put on / displayed his best poker face during the trial."

A: No one has suggested keep a stiff upper lip yet. It's not an exact match (may not apply to all emotions), but can work in certain contexts.

stiff upper lip: self-restraint in the expression of emotion (especially fear or grief)

(WordNet)

Example: When she heard the bad news, she kept a stiff upper lip.

A: 'Stony faced' or 'stony-faced'.
From the Oxford Standard Dictionary Online (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/stony-faced):

Definition of stony-faced in English:
  adjective
  Showing no emotion; impassive:
a cold-blooded, stony-faced assassin
  the foreign minister sat stony-faced and without applauding
  However, even the worst sketches elicit a happy groan rather than stony-faced silence.
  For their part, the women sat stony-faced, watching their menfolk make fools of themselves.
  The campaigners, however, face a stony-faced industry with the law on its side.

From the OED (http://findwords.info/term/stony):

stony ▪ I.stony, a.
  (ˈstəʊnɪ)
  Forms: 1 stániᵹ, 3 stoni, 3–4 stani, 4–5 stany, 5–6 stonye, 6 stoany, Sc. staany, 6–7 stonie, 7 Sc. stanie, 7– stoney, 4– stony.
  [OE. stániᵹ = OHG. steinag, Goth. stainah-s:—OTeut. *stainaᵹo-, -aχo-, f. *staino- stone n.: see -y. (OE. had also stǽniᵹ:—OTeut. type *stainīᵹo-.)]

*Combinations, etc. a. In advb. comb. with adjs., as stony-blind (= stone-blind), stony-pitiless. b. Parasynthetic formations, as stony-eyed, stony-faced, stony-jointed, stony-toed, stony-winged adjs. c. Special comb. and collocations: stony bone (tr. med.L. os petrosum: see petrosal; cf. rocky a.1 3 a), the petrous portion of the temporal bone, containing the internal ear; stony-broke a. (slang) = stone-broke (stone n. 20 a); stony coal = stone-coal; stony cobbler (see quot.); stony colic, colic due to an intestinal concretion (cf. stone-colic, stone n. 20 a); stony coral = stone-coral (stone n. 20 b); stony-iron n. and a., used to designate meteorites which contain appreciable quantities of both stony material and iron; Stony Mountains, the Rocky Mountains (see rocky a.1 1 b); stony sage (see quot.).
1933 M. Arlen Man's Mortality xv. 315 Manteuffel, staring *stony-faced towards the darkness..appeared not to have heard his question. 1975 F. Bresler You & Law 81 Even in this stony-faced sector of the law, fairness prevails.

A: A similar idiom:

He is keeping his cards close to the/his vest.

A similar example is to be "tight-lipped", but that is both not a verb and not quite the right shade of meaning (implies only that the person isn't speaking about it, but may communicate his emotions in nonverbal ways).

A: "to keep cool" or "to keep one's cool" might be the verb phrase that most closely matches the Swedish.

Johnny was furious that Suzie had broken down his door, but he managed to keep his cool and greeted her calmly.

I know you're excited to meet your new teacher.  Keep cool; he should be arriving any minute.

A: "not turn a hair" means to be quite calm and undisturbed.

to not show any emotion when you are told something bad or when something bad happens. TFD
I was expecting her to be furious but she didn't turn a hair.

*

*"She didn't turn a hair during the bank robbery."

*"When he received the news of the accident, he didn't turn a hair."

A: keep a level head and keep one's head

: to stay calm, rational, and in control, esp. when it's hard to do so. Webster's New World American Idioms Handbook
levelheaded: adj. characteristically self-composed and sensible

have/get a grip on oneself: have/get control of one's emotions. McGraw-Hill's Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions

I have a grip on myself that would make a boa constrictor proud Corruption Officer: From Jail Guard to Perpetrator Inside Rikers Island

A: "He didn't bat an eye." essentially means showing no visible reaction to something which was supposed to be surprising.  Somewhat different is "he took it in stride" which usually means that he continued whatever he was doing in spite of a setback being reported.

A: In American English, we often call this having a "deadpan" expression:

deadpan adj
  Impassively matter-of-fact, as in style, behavior, or expression: deadpan delivery of the joke.

TFDO
Etymonline gives this origin:

1928, from dead (adj.) + pan (n.) in slang sense of "face."

So it arrives via a description of an absolutely lifeless expression, giving nothing away.

A: There is the expression, to be/remain as cool as a cucumber:

*

*to be very calm and relaxed, especially in a difficult situation;

*

*I expected him to be all nervous before his interview but he was as cool as a cucumber.

The American Heritage® Dictionary of Idioms
or
  be/stay cool, calm and collected:

*

*Calm and composed, self-possessed.

*

*No matter what the board decides, you have to appear cool, calm, and collected in front of the stockholders.

McGraw-Hill's Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions

A: All the above are valid but in different contexts.  You might keep a poker face or play your cards close to your chest [or vest in the US] if you did not want someone to know what you were thinking. You could keep a straight face if you were trying not to laugh or keep a stiff upper lip [yes, we still do say it] if you were trying not to cry.

A: Even though Person A was talking nonsense I held a straight face the entire time and then grilled him on the details.

A: There is also the metaphor of "clamming up", which would be more of a suppressive (often specifically information, but emotions as well) variety.

A: In psychological terminology,
'To have a flat affect', or 'To have a blunted affect'
Also related to 'Reduced affect', 'Restricted affect' and 'Constricted affect'
The Wikipedia entry for 'Reduced affect' is well referenced and I can confirm the information sourced from the ICD-10 Classification of Mental and Behavioural Disorders, and the Diagnostic And Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition:

Blunted affect is a lack of affect more severe than restricted or constricted affect, but less severe than flat or flattened affect. "The difference between flat and blunted affect is in degree. A person with flat affect has no or nearly no emotional expression. He or she may not react at all to circumstances that usually evoke strong emotions in others. A person with blunted affect, on the other hand, has a significantly reduced intensity in emotional expression".

Saturday marks a return to the broadcast booth for George Blaha, the legendary voice of MSU football. And while Blaha - also the voice of the Pistons - is an icon at Michigan State, he's not the only great broadcaster MSU has.
With that, today's edition of Final Four Friday takes a look at the play-by-play announcers who bring you each game.
To many, Blaha is MSU sports, and for good reason. This will be his 32nd season calling MSU football, longer than either of this site's authors have been alive. Everything from T.J. Duckett's game-winning catch against Michigan in 2001 to Charles Rogers' miracle one-handed grab against Notre Dame has been punctuated with Blaha's "Touchdown, MSU!" call. The man is a legend.
Tieman doesn't always get his due among most Spartan fans, I think mainly because he's such a different broadcaster. He's far more even-keel than other play-by-play guys, though I think that's a bonus when calling games at the raucous Breslin Center. Tieman is descriptive and never gets lost on a complex call - no easy feat considering how fast MSU has sprinted up the court in recent years. He always rises to the occasion in big moments - and his grace in calling the national championship defeat earlier this year was a real high point.
There are many games I think I could step in and hack out a broadcast in. Hockey ain't one of them. There are just so many substitutions on the fly, jerseys with confusing and conflicting color schemes and bad angles in worse podunk college hockey press boxes from which to watch a tiny puck squirt about. You won't miss anything with Moore calling the game though, he's a student of the game who never gets lost. And his calls during the 2007 national championship game made you feel like you were there in St. Louis while MSU stormed from behind to beat Boston College and win it all.
He's the only one broadcasting online, and budget cuts cut his coverage in half. But the way Kreger has handled it so far is pure class - and that gets major points in our book. He's damn good too, and has an award from the American Volleyball Coaches Association as the best volleyball broadcaster in America to prove it. We've called Kreger the most underrated broadcaster in the state of Michigan before, and we stand by that call today - though if he keeps winning those awards the word "underrated" may have to be changed to simply "the best."
And the winner is... Blaha.
Tieman, Moore and Kreger are all great, but Blaha is the undisputed king of broadcasting at MSU. For 32 years he's been the voice of the Spartans, and we can only hope he'll keep going for many years to come.
...I don't think Tieman is great. He does not have the pipes for broadcasting. His voice is too high-pitched and prone to cracking when he gets excited. And his exclamations sound like he prepared them. They liked to run a promo for MSU Basketball on the radio network last season where he was "featured" saying "Oh yes, that is sweet!" It sounded like someone handed him a card with those words on it and he was trying to read them in as animated a voice as he could muster.

Q: distutils.spawn.find_executable and shutil.which can not find the file I need to find a file contained in our software with python3.
The problem is, an executable file which can be found in the bash environment with find command, can not be found in zsh environment with python3. This file is neither in the $PATH nor os.environ["PATH"]. I could only find it when I provide its absolute path as a parameter to shutil & which.
However, since the absolute path depends on the installation path of the software, it is different for each person. Therefore, I want to ask for a general method, which can find this excitable file with only its name provided. Thanks a lot!

A: The shutil.which function uses $PATH variable to find executables. It works exactly as the bash which or command -v.
The find command uses a directory as input and searches recursively inside this directory.
To perform your search, you have to either append the directory in which your executable is in to your current PATH and then use shutil.which to locate it

def find(name: str, location: Path) -> Optional[Path]:
    files = [ f for f in location.rglob('*') if f.is_file()]
    for f in files:

            return f.resolve()

    return None


Well, it's a new year, and with that comes new and exciting home loan programs to help borrowers purchase homes or refinance existing mortgages.
The newest one comes courtesy of Guaranteed Rate, which launched its "GR Flex Power" mortgage that requires as little as 10% down on loan amounts as high as $3 million.
Additionally, those who are able to muster a 15% down payment can take advantage of an interest-only option on both fixed mortgages and ARMs.
And despite the down payment being less than 20%, the GR Flex Power loan does not require private mortgage insurance to be paid.
That's a good thing seeing that it's no longer tax deductible. Of course, the mortgage rate will probably be higher to compensate for the lack of PMI.
Whether that turns out to be a net positive or negative will depend on how you pay your taxes.
It should be noted that this new jumbo loan program is a portfolio product, meaning it is proprietary to Guaranteed Rate.
This allows them to underwrite the loan program in-house, instead of being at the mercy of third-parties such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, or the FHA.
As such, they're able to waive the PMI requirement and offer loan amounts as high as $3 million, those that greatly exceed the conforming loan limit.
Along with that, they will allow debt-to-income ratios as high as 50%, which exceeds the 43% limit allowed under the Qualified Mortgage (QM) rule, a maximum generally imposed by Fannie and Freddie.
Another QM-rule breaker is the interest-only option, which was banned under the QM rule because of its inherent risky nature.
It's fairly difficult to find a lender willing to extend an interest-only option these days, especially with that little down and that large a loan amount.
It's even available on condos, and Guaranteed Rate says they offer "flexible condominium warrantability," meaning financing might be extended even if typical building requirements aren't met.
Will 2018 Be the Year Non-QM Lending Takes Off?
That brings us to an interesting question. Will 2018 be the year lenders get creative and start offering up their own loan programs that don't meet rigid government guidelines?
A lot of people are worried that home prices have gotten too expensive, but absent risky financing, most aren't worried about another housing crisis anytime soon.
But if banks and lenders begin toying with more of the features that brought the housing market to its knees more than a decade ago, we could find ourselves in a familiar place.
The good news is it won't happen overnight, and many if not all of these loan programs have checks and balances in place to avoid too much layered risk.
For example, the GR Flex Power mortgage seems to require at least six months of reserves, so you actually need to have some money in the bank.
And you need skin in the game as well – this isn't a zero-down financing program. Though Guaranteed Rate does have a 1% down program as well.
I expect more of these types of loan programs to surface this year as players attempt to differentiate themselves amid dwindling volume.

Q: How can I temporarily disable StyleCop on my machine? I'm being 'forced' to use StyleCop on an external project but I find it very invasive to my style of working as it interrupts the flow of my work making progression very slow. I'm having to document everything before I'm even close to finishing it. I'm even being forced by StyleCop to write valid documentation for code I know I'm going to delete or refactor in half an hour once I've run it once or twice in order to test something.
How can I temporarily turn it off so I can get on with my work?
(I can re-enable it and sort out any documentation and formatting issues before I commit my source to source control)

A: How is this "forcing" being accomplished?  Even if StyleCop is being invoked via MSBuild at compile-time and its warnings are being treated as errors, it's quite possible that it's being executed after compilation, in which case your assembly is presumably already available, and nothing is truly blocked.
If it is being run via MSBuild, regardless of whether it's triggered before or after the compiler, the simplest fix would be for the solution owner to provide a build configuration (e.g.: "Debug Compile Only") in which all forms of static analysis, including StyleCop, is omitted.  It is quite likely that you are not the only developer for whom the integrated analysis is at least occasionally an inconvenience, and an extra build config is the "polite" way to address this.

A: Answering my own question:
This is non optimal but it can be disabled by editing the StyleCop.settings file (which is in each project in my solution):
<StyleCopSettings Version="105">
    <GlobalSettings>
      <BooleanProperty Name="RulesEnabledByDefault">False</BooleanProperty>
    </GlobalSettings>
</StyleCopSettings>

I'd prefer to just have a build setting somewhere than editing the actual file, but I guess this will have to do unless anyone knows a better way?  It's a shame StyleCop itself doesn't have a UI button to turn it on and off.

Majid Jordan: Look for those moments that inspire you differently and opens your eyes
InterviewsInterview Podcasts 0
Meet Majid Jordan, the magical musical duo straight from OVO Sound. The two Toronto natives, Majid Al Maskati and Jordan Ullman, have made waves with their electronic, R&B music. They met in 2011 when they were students at the University of Toronto, and now five years later their headlining shows and performing at festivals. They tell us how they owe all of their success to the late nights in their dorm rooms where they spent endless hours shaping their craft. "I got a noise complaint every single day," Jordan told The Come Up Show.
It's a good thing the two didn't stop at UofT, since they went off to become the leading members of Drake's record label OVO Sound. We got a chance to speak to Majid Jordan at Manifesto Festival. Listen to them talk about the Canada's "tight-knit" community, how the Toronto sound is changing, and what dreams their chasing now. Below is an excerpt from our talk, play the podcast to hear more.
Canada is tight-knit (3:46-4:38)
Jordan: Canada is very tight-knit, especially in the arts community.
Majid: The degrees of separation are not that far apart. If you love what you do and you pursue it authentically and lovingly, you're going to meet people who do that the same way. Bands like BADBADNOTGOOD, Charlotte Day Wilson, Daniel Caesar… that whole movement is a real thing that's happening in Toronto right now. I love that kind of stuff.
Jordan: I think we've stopped categorizing Toronto in this type of music and that type of art. It's really about going forward with it and putting out an album, and doing the work to make it resonate with people. The Toronto sound has turned into a Toronto culture, which has turned into Toronto arts in general. So we're back at the place where we kind of always had that, but there's way more recognition about what people are actually doing and how much work they're putting into it.
Their mission statement [8:25]
Majid: Our mission statement is to manifest all of the dreams that we've had over the last year. We did Coachella this year, and that was the moment we looked at each other and realized that this was a huge step in our career. We're really thankful for it, but now, what can we dream of? The sky is really the limit, and I hope all of the artists from Toronto feel like that. If you do what you do every day, like go through the music, the drafts and you think about it every day to the point it never leaves you…. Until the music comes into existence, that's when it releases.
Stick to your message [10:16-11:12]
Jordan: We're in that age of arts where being apart of a lot of different things for a short amount of time makes it harder to stick to your message the whole way through. It makes it harder to deliver a concise direction and how you want to influence people.
Majid: You're going to come across stages of adaptation, and that's okay because when you adapt, you change. It's okay if you're into something at a certain age and to not be into it when you're older. You discover something new that pushes [what you use to like] to the side. That's an exciting moment. You should always look for those moments that inspire you differently and open your eyes.

A frequent question we receive about OS X is "How do I change my short username?" While it's easy to change your full username—an easily-accessible setting in the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences—there's no obvious way to change the short username, which is also the name of your home folder in the Finder.
Prior to Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, changing your short username was a complicated, risky procedure. In fact, it was so complex that even Apple's own instructions weren't exhaustive. Because of this, a colleague and I wrote a special utility for pre-Leopard versions of OS X, ChangeShortName, that did the job right.
But starting with Mac OS X 10.5, Apple gave users a reasonably simple way to change the short username, right in System Preferences—though it's not obvious where, exactly, to find it, even in OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Even better, you have three options for making such a change, and though they vary in complexity and risk, all are considerably safer than the unauthorized procedures you had to use in the past. Read on for all the details.
Why would you want to change your short username? Maybe you too-casually accepted the OS X Setup Assistant's suggestion when first configuring your Mac, and your current "short" name isn't really short—it's a pain to type every time you're prompted for your username. Perhaps you've got two or more Macs and you want to use the same short username on all of them. Or maybe you inherited a Mac from someone and would prefer to change the name of an existing account instead of creating a new one.
Whatever the reason, you just want a change, so we're here to help. Below are the three methods you can use. Note that whichever approach you take, the steps must be performed from an administrative user account. And, of course, you should always have a good backup of your drive before you go mucking around with user accounts.
If the main reason you want to change your short username is to reduce how much you need to type in username/password dialogs—for example, when logging in to your account or when performing actions that require administrator authentication—OS X offers an easier solution: account aliases.
Like a file alias in the Finder, which refers to an original file and essentially functions as that original file when accessed, an account alias refers to a specific account and functions as that account. For example, if your name happens to be Englebert Rumplestiltskin and the OS X Setup Assistant kindly made your short username englebertrumplestiltskin, you can create an account alias of rumple. Then, wherever you'd normally type englebertrumplestiltskin in OS X, you can instead type rumple.
If the lock icon in the lower-left corner of the Users & Groups window is "locked," click it and provide an administrative username and password when prompted. This allows you to make changes.
In the list of accounts on the left, right-click (or Control-click) on the name of the account you want to modify, and then choose Advanced Options from the resulting menu.
Although your new account alias may be usable immediately, I recommend restarting just to be sure all of OS X's services are aware of it. From now on, any time you're asked for your username and password, you can type your account alias instead of your actual short username.
Advantages: Easiest procedure; absolutely safe; can log in and access shares via the alias; few, if any, side effects.
Disadvantages: Doesn't actually change your short username; doesn't change the name of your home folder in the Finder; File Sharing shares still use your original username; possible (minor) security implications by having multiple login names.
The next step up in complexity is to actually change your short username, but to leave your home folder (in the Finder) alone. This approach lets you log in using the new short username, and any OS X dialogs in which your short username is automatically filled will use the new name, but your home folder in the Finder will still reflect your original name.
One potential issue to be aware of here: Some programs may store settings or preferences based on your short username. If you change that name, you may find that particular programs, and possibly even some OS X services, exhibit minor issues after making the change. The solution is usually as simple as viewing the settings interface for the offending program or service and changing whatever setting is causing the problem.
Log in as a different user than the one you want to modify; also, make sure the account you want to modify is not logged in.
Open the Users & Groups pane of System Preferences.
Click OK, and then close System Preferences.
After restarting, your original short username will no longer be valid; you'll need to use your new name exclusively. OS X automatically updates any groups to which your account belongs.
Tip: If, after changing your short username, you find yourself occasionally typing your original username by accident, you can use the first procedure, above, to add your old name as an alias to your new one.
Advantages: Relatively safe; changes your actual short username; avoids problems with preferences and applications that store settings based on the path to your home directory (see below).
Disadvantages: Doesn't change the name of your home folder in the Finder, or the name of File Sharing shares; can cause minor issues with preferences and application that store data or settings based on your short username.
If you're offended (or confused) by the idea of your username and the name of your home folder in the Finder being different, or if you want your home directory's name to match your username when accessing your account over File Sharing, you want to change both your short username and your home folder name.
Although this procedure is more complete than the previous one, it has caveats of its own. In addition the issue mentioned above with respect to programs that store settings based on your short username, there are also programs—in fact, more programs—that store settings or preferences based on the path to your home folder. If you change the name of your home folder, that path changes (from /Users/oldname to /Users/newname) and, thus, those settings are no longer valid. However, as with the previous procedure, the solution is usually as simple as viewing the settings interface for the offending program or service and changing whatever setting is causing the problem.
A bigger issue, at least initially, is that Time Machine, OS X's built-in backup system, tracks files based on each file's filesystem path. If you change the name of your home folder, the path to every file in your home folder changes, which means that Time Machine will back up every file again. But this will happen only on the first backup after the name change—after that, Time Machine will resume backing up only changes to files and folders.
On the Advanced screen, delete your current short username in the Account Name field, and then type your desired new short username.
In the Home Directory field, change /Users/oldusername to /Users/newusername, where oldusername is your original short username and newusername is your new short username. Make note of the original and new paths.
Type the following command, all on one line, and then press Return; when prompted, provide the password of the admin-level account you're currently using, and then press Return again: sudo mv /Users/oldusername /Users/newusername (These are the original and new Home Directory paths from Step 7; oldusername is your original short username and newusername is your new short username.) This step renames your home folder in the Finder.
Quit Terminal, and then restart your Mac.
After the restart, your short username is completely changed, at least as far as OS X is concerned—both your account name and the name of your home folder in the Finder have been updated.
Advantages: Both your short username and your home folder in the Finder are changed; nearly complete method of changing your short username.
Disadvantages: Can result in minor issues with services and applications that store their settings or data based on your short username or the path to your home folder.

African consumer update: Facebook shopping, mall culture, and fear of missing out
Africa's growing consumer base and its US$1.9 trillion total purchasing power is old news if you are a regular reader of How we made it in Africa. For businesses operating on the continent, this consumer market holds untapped economic opportunities and potential. However, African spenders are created around their respective economic and technological environments and developing trends are constantly shaping the way businesses are targeting consumers.
Kenyan mobile subscribers with counterfeit phones have been "plugged off", leaving an estimated 2.4 million Kenyans in need of a phone.
Research company Euromonitor International recently identified some unique ICT and behavioural trends among consumers in Egypt, Kenya, South Africa and Ghana. Here are the highlights:
Egyptians shopping on Facebook
Facebook has become a shopping portal for the upper-middle class where upmarket stores in Egypt have failed to satisfy their hunger for fashion, according to Daphne Kasriel-Alexander, consumers editor at Euromonitor. Most consumers of Facebook fashion are young women with cash.
"In the Facebook shopping world, the group administrator is in charge of everything from purchasing to shipping and taxation, making it much easier for cash-rich but time-poor consumers to shop," said Kasriel-Alexander.
In May 2012, the Egyptian Ministry of Information reported that Facebook users in Egypt had reached 10.7 million. With a population of around 80 million, roughly 13.4% of Egyptians are on Facebook, putting Egypt at 20th place in the world in terms of Facebook usage.
American mall culture in Ghana
"Ghana's first American-style shopping mall in the capital, Accra, is changing the way Ghanaians spend their free time," said Kasriel-Alexander. The shopping centre, which features a number of South African and international brands, is developing a mall culture in Accra. "A typical scene on a weekend could be from a shopping mall anywhere in the USA – boys in skinny jeans, girls wearing hot pink lipstick, families eating pizza at a food court."
Cordie Aziz, a young American who moved to Accra over a year ago to start a business, has blogged about the Westernised mall culture in the city. "Each day, I am amazed about how American the life in Accra is," said Aziz. "Women in Ghana have abandoned their traditional style clothing for modern day suits and dresses, some made of fabrics that aren't even conducive for the weather."
"The men have also been equally hypnotised by the West. The younger generation has picked up on skinny jeans in bright, vibrant colours with the shoes to match," continued Aziz. "They even seem to identify with the words of artists like Rick Ross and Lil Wayne, though many of them have never even been close to setting foot on American soil."
The majority of modern retail space has been developed in Accra, due to better infrastructure and access to a large population. The Accra Mall, established in 2007, is conveniently located with surrounding residential and commercial areas and is five minutes away from the Kotoka International Airport. Euromonitor's research has also noted that Ghana's retailing achieved 14% value growth between 2006 and 2011, which reflects the strength of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies in the country. As an English-speaking nation, Ghana has close ties with US and British businesses.
"Developers forecast more of such malls would spring up across the country replacing the beach as a place for middle-class Ghanaians to spend their weekends," stated Kasriel-Alexander. "According to Euromonitor International statistics, Ghana's growth expanded to 13.6% in 2011 from 7.7% the year before – driven by new oil production and the construction sector."
Estimated 2.4 million Kenyans need non-fake phones
By 30 September an estimated 2.4 million Kenyan mobile subscribers with counterfeit handsets faced being "plugged off" by the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK) unless they acquired genuine handsets in time, according to Kasriel-Alexander.
Latest figures reported on BBC News and allAfrica.com suggest that 1.5 to 1.9 million subscribers have since been affected by the switch-off.
The CCK ordered telecom companies to block counterfeit phones from accessing Kenyan mobile networks a year ago but this date was postponed four times until the end of last month.
"The switch-off by the Communications Commission of Kenya will be a costly affair for consumers who will have to acquire new handsets, a significant number of whom are said to have bought the fake phones unknowingly," Kasriel-Alexander pointed out.
South Africans have a fear of missing out
"According to a nationwide survey by Pharma Dynamics of 3,000 respondents aged between 15 and 50, released in early July 2012, 62% live in 'constant fear' of missing out on something more exciting that what they are doing," said Kasriel-Alexander.
This "fear of missing out", known by the acronym FOMO, means that South Africans are constantly on their phones checking for emails and social networking updates. According to Kasriel-Alexander's research, this behaviour includes "the inability to put away one's mobile phone, excessive phone texting even while driving, tweeting on the toilet and showing up at events uninvited".
"South Africans are the most enthusiastic tweeters in Africa (with over 5 million tweets), according to a report released by UK-based research firm Tweetminster in January," said Kasriel-Alexander. "Kenya came in second place, generating 2.48 million tweets – followed by Nigeria (1.67 million), Egypt (1.21 million) and Morocco (0.75 million)."

Police dog wins legal battle after burglary suspect sues over bite
Draco, a now retired member of the Gwinnett County Police Department in Gwinnett County, Georgia has won a legal battle after a judge ruled against a burglary suspect, who was suing the K-9 officer after the suspect was bitten.
By Bill Rankin, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Dog bites man. Man sues dog. Dog wins.
The dog was Draco, a prized member of the Gwinnett County Police Department's K-9 unit. But on July 6, 2013, Draco bit the arm of burglary suspect Randall Kevin Jones, who later claimed the dog clamped down for what "seemed like a lifetime."

Jones was taken to Gwinnett Medical Center and given stitches for the dog bite before being jailed and charged with burglary and obstruction. Two years later, he filed a highly unusual lawsuit, in that he not only sued the officers involved but also "Officer K-9 Draco of the Gwinnett County Police Department in his individual capacity."
The lawsuit, alleging excessive use of force, said Draco "viciously mauled" Jones, "tearing his flesh and permanently injuring and disfiguring him, while … officers stood by and failed to intervene."
When a federal judge rejected Gwinnett's initial attempt to dismiss the lawsuit, the county appealed. On Friday, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta threw out the case against Draco.

"We hold that a dog may not be sued individually for negligence since a dog is not a 'person,'" Judge Robin Rosenbaum wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel. Georgia law, she noted, does not allow such claims to be litigated against dogs.
The mere notion of allowing a lawsuit against a dog raises abundant practical issues, Rosenbaum added. How would you formally serve the lawsuit on a dog? What about the dog's retention of legal representation? How can a dog be expected to pay damages?

Draco, a Belgian Malinois, retired from the K-9 unit in mid-2014 after seven years on the force, helping officers track down suspects and find stashes of illegal drugs.
Draco: "He's an amazing animal," a Gwinnett police spokeswoman said. "His K-9 handler thought the world of him."

Martin Goodman | Notes on Craft
Martin Goodman
Summer 1997, and I was camping in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. I stood on a tree trunk, light falling around me like snowflakes, and I was infused with the idea for what has become J SS Bach.
E.M. Forster claimed that inspiration like this was from some genius loci: a 'god of place'. When one such god visited him, he pushed out 'The Story of a Panic' in a week. My idea kept me in thrall for twenty years.
In truth, twenty years isn't so long for me. I write nonfiction books to deadlines, but with novels I turn through draft after draft. My initial inspiration gave me two central characters and a dramatic conflict. He was a Jewish composer-cum-cellist, she was a musicologist. What bound them together was the concentration camp at Dachau, where he played in the secret orchestra and where her grandfather was the Adjutant. What drove the conflict was her fury that the cellist spoke on behalf of her grandfather at his war trial.
My reference library for this novel was as broad as for any of my nonfiction books. As a novelist, the Holocaust theme left me with a dilemma. The Nazis committed countless atrocities, most of which will be forever unknown, and to imagine more such atrocities into existence felt abhorrent. My responsibility, I decided, was to draw close and examine what was so repellent. Ultimately, a novel should lead you behind what is monstrous to the human domain in which the monstrous is formed. To restrain my imagination from committing excesses, I decided to source my points of action from the historical record.
The initial pillar of my book was the story of the musician Herbert Zipper, who was transported from Vienna to Dachau, where he formed a secret orchestra. I had presumed my character would spend the whole war in Dachau, but my research taught me otherwise. Dachau was emptied of its Jews prior to the Nazi pogrom of November 1938. Zipper was transported to Buchenwald, so my character had to go there too. Andrzej Panufnik's autobiography gave me useful details of a musical education in the Vienna of 1938. George Clare gave me the soundscapes of Vienna's streets.
It would have been easier if this character had been a pianist, like me. He refused. He was a cellist and a composer. His character rejected anything sourced in my own life experience. The Cello Suites of J.S.Bach are central to the narrative, and so for years they played as my surround-sound. On disc, I rooted out performers who would have been my musician's peers so I could appreciate his cello technique. I delved into the works of twentieth century composers to understand his musical influences and what niche he would have filled with his own compositions.
All of my research needed space in which to mull. We have a small house in the Pyrenees, in a village of few people and no commerce. Much of this novel was developed there, on long walks through the mountains. These walks gave me my plot points. But the going was still slow, partly due to structural problems. With a completed draft in place, I knew that something was still very wrong. A night of beating my head against a French pillow told me to shift the start of the action back, and a new chapter formed that showed my female character arriving at Los Angeles airport.
With each new draft my focus turned to a character who had previously been in the periphery. At first I focused on the mother, the sister and the niece my musician left behind in Vienna, and my story followed their inevitable trajectory from that city to the ghetto of Terezín, and from there to Auschwitz. Then the women in the Nazi lineage stepped forward. Each had a vivid story to tell. What would have happened to the wife and daughter of a Nazi hanged for war crimes? I researched. They would have wandered through the debris of war-torn Germany as displaced persons. Eventually, the boats that ferried refugees to Australia mixed together Nazis and Jews. As the strands of characters' stories developed, they also intertwined and enriched the plot.
I took trains and planes and followed my characters to Dachau, Terezín, and Auschwitz. Partly my visits were clinical – a way to collect detail, perspective and scale. But on my characters' behalf, I also needed to learn what it was like to be a human living in such a place. The visits to the camps floored me. Tragedy blankets their remains, and it was impossible for me not to think of the millions of tales that had been left mute there, without expression.
A particular inspiration were my conversations with Helen Bamber, who I met in London. One of the first volunteers into the concentration camp of Belsen, Helen found that the keenest need of survivors was to have someone listen to their tale. Helen gave her life to being such a witness. In a way, writing J SS Bach was an attempt to be a witness too. Fiction has a way of recovering stories that were never allowed to be told. Perhaps that is why the writing of this book affected me more deeply than anything else I've ever written, and why it took so long.
Martin Goodman's J SS Bach is published 6 March by Wrecking Ball Press.

Plant stress traits are an important breeding target for all crop species. Massive amounts of research dollars are spent combating plant diseases and nutrient deficiencies. Often this data is used to achieve a single goal, and then left in a repository to never be used again. As a scientific community, we should be striving to make all publicly funded data reusable, and interoperable. This goal is achievable only through careful annotation using universal data and metadata standards. One such standard is through the use of a standardized vocabulary, or ontology. This paper focuses on producing a semi-automated method to define, and label plant stresses using a combination of web scraping, and ontology design patterns. Standardizing the definitions, and linking plant stress with established hierarchies leverages previous work of developed knowledge bases such as taxonomic classifications and other ontologies.
