Cheat Sheet
Property Investing For Dummies Cheat Sheet (Australian Edition)
Thinking of investing in residential or commercial real estate, but not sure where to start? As everyone knows, talking about where the property market is headed (Up? Down? Sideways?) is a sure-fire dinner party topic of conversation. But getting a start in the investment property market isn't a game (although it can be fun!), so check out these key principles of investment success. This Cheat Sheet is well-worth rereading often, to keep your property plan on track.
Principles for Real Estate Investment Success in Australia
Everyone wants to give you advice on when, and how, to invest in property. But often that advice is misguided when you take the market and economic factors into account. Here are some timeless pieces of advice for both beginner and experienced property investors
Real estate is a proven wealth-building vehicle. Investing in rental properties can generate positive income and significant tax benefits, as well as build equity from appreciation over the years.
Although many people can succeed in investing in real estate, rental property investing isn't for everyone. Take account of your investment preferences and personality before buying property. Real estate is a hands-on investment and can be time consuming. Do you have time to devote to your investment? Are you comfortable troubleshooting problems or hiring a property manager?
Make sure you're financially fit before investing in rental properties. Particularly with highly geared property, you will need excess monthly savings to cover initial negative income, often for several years. Having a monthly budget is important. Most successful property investors build their investment portfolio through having saved money first and then gradually buying properties over the years.
Don't underestimate the importance of establishing good credit. The best returns on real estate rely upon the use of credit to obtain the leverage of using OPM (other people's money).
Your home is not an investment property. Your home is an investment (of sorts), but Australian tax law makes it considerably different from 'investment property'. But, if you're the DIY type, or a good project manager, you can make plenty of money in real estate from renovating your own home and selling it free of capital gains tax.
Focus on residential properties in the beginning. Residential property is an attractive investment and is easier to understand, purchase and manage than most other types of property. If you're a homeowner, you already have experience locating, purchasing and maintaining residential property. But don't forget this important point: You're not buying the property to live in yourself.
Among residential property options, top recommendations are stand-alone houses. The maxim that 'land appreciates, buildings depreciate' means that the properties with the highest land content are most likely to appreciate the most over the longer term.
Have your real estate team in place before you begin your serious property searching. You'll need a solicitor, mortgage broker, accountant, depreciation specialist and a financial adviser. They're your team. You'll rely on them for help.
Be wary of property spruikers promising real estate riches in no time. Too many people have been too greedy over the years trying to 'get rich quickly' with property. Property investment requires a 'get-rich-right' mentality.
Nail down the best financing terms and keep your banker on his toes. The bigger the deposit you can offer (say, more than 20 per cent), the more access you'll get to the best financing deal for your first property. But if you've got plenty of equity in your own home, you've also got the asset that banks prefer in order to lend you money on reasonable terms. Leverage can boost your rates of return. But too much leverage can be dangerous if the rental market turns and your debt expenses are high. Regularly search the market to make sure your financing is at competitive rates.
Use the powers of leveraging and compounding to build your property portfolio. Property portfolios are built through a snowballing effect. Buying your first home or your first investment property can be difficult. But the powers of compounding and leverage will make subsequent purchases easier. It may take five years to acquire your first two or three properties but, in the second five years, you can probably double the number of properties you buy.
'Location, location, value'. This adage clearly emphasises location, but also the importance of finding good value. Owning real estate in up-and-coming areas with new development or renovated properties enhances your chances of finding and keeping good tenants and leads to greater returns. Another great opportunity comes from properties in great locations that haven't been well maintained. Look for aesthetic issues that can be cheaply addressed.
Don't make real estate investments too close to home. Buying property in the same, or next, suburb as your home is a dangerous philosophy. Diversification is important within any investment portfolio and having both your home and an investment property (unless it's one of many investment properties) in the same suburb or town leaves you doubly vulnerable to a downturn in that area.
Any decision about where to invest starts with an evaluation of the region's economic trends. If the area isn't economically sound, then the likelihood of making successful real estate investments is diminished.
You're purchasing a future income stream when you buy a property. The key is identifying which properties sellers have underpriced.
The buy-and-flip real estate investment strategy can work, but it also has a downside. Buying and flipping (or buying and quickly reselling property) can be a way to make quick money in real estate if you time your investments correctly in a rapidly rising real estate market. However, flipping can cause your profits to be fully taxed — that is, without the advantage of the 50 per cent capital gains discount. The costs of buying (stamp duty) and selling (agent and advertising fees) also makes profiting here difficult.
Give yourself some ownership options. If you're building a portfolio and buying with your partner, consider how you structure the ownership of the property to leave yourself some options to minimise tax when it comes time to sell.
Think about gearing in terms of what you want out of your investment. Everyone's heard of negative gearing, but negative gearing means 'losing' money on an annual basis, which can make sense for some investors, especially those on high incomes. If you're not on a high income, neutrally geared or positively geared property may better provide you with what you want from property.
The best laid plans can be destroyed by one catastrophic event. Don't believe you can get away without proper insurance. And insurance isn't just home and contents and landlord's insurance. A proper property plan includes personal risk insurance, so you can keep your property investment plans afloat even if disaster strikes.
Property in Self-Managed Super Funds
Self-managed super funds (SMSFs) entered an exciting new era from late 2007 with the ability to buy geared property. The Global Financial Crisis meant a slow start, but now opportunities abound for a SMSF to purchase property, with similar benefits to property purchased outside of super. However, it's a complex area of the law:
Superannuation is a low-tax, even no-tax, environment. Complying super funds pay tax at a maximum rate of 15 per cent. But when in pension phase, they pay no tax. Compare this to Australia's top marginal tax rate being 46.5 per cent and you'll see why property in super is an exciting prospect.
Direct property is only available through SMSFs. You can't hold a rental property through a regular super fund. But there are around 500,000 SMSFs in existence, at the time of writing, and it's only those vehicles that can directly hold residential (or commercial) property. Do you have the time or willingness to learn how to run a SMSF? It comes with considerable responsibilities, but the financial rewards can be even bigger and better than investment properties bought in your own name.
Make your SMSF the landlord of your business premises. Many businesses are run from a property that is owned by the business, or the business's owners. But there can be great reasons for your SMSF to own your business premises: It is an asset where ownership can potentially be transferred into your SMSF.
The size of your SMSF matters. To invest in property through a SMSF, you have two options. You either need the cash to buy the property outright. Or your SMSF needs to borrow. But even if you're borrowing from a bank, your SMSF still needs to have at least about 30 per cent of the property's value, plus enough left over for a lender to be comfortable that you can foot future bills and interest.
Complex structures are involved, so make sure you get it right. The laws allowing lending in SMSFs are particularly strict. And the consequences of getting them wrong are potentially costly and disastrous. There are legal structures (trusts) that need to sit inside the SMSF to hold a geared asset. And, importantly, your SMSF trust deed itself needs to allow for borrowing, which not all trust deeds do.
SMSFs have a large and growing panel of lenders who are prepared to lend in this space. Because of the GFC, banks were initially slow on the uptake of providing compliant loans. But that has changed and most major lenders are offering financing for SMSF property loans now. But beware: They can have some funny individual policies.
You can be the lender to your own SMSF. If you have plenty of equity, it is possible for you — as trustee/s of the fund — to be the lender/s to the super fund. The source of your funds might be savings, or money you have borrowed elsewhere.
SMSF borrowing arrangements are complex and professionals are mandatory. It is not the same as buying an investment property in your own name. And it's highly unlikely that you will have the skills to do it on your own. Get help from trusted independent professionals. The penalties are too severe to bear contemplating.

Two AEG executives who promoted Michael Jackson's comeback tour before his June 2009 death will have the case against them thrown out, according to a ruling issued Monday by a Los Angeles Superior Court judge.
Concert promoter AEG Live will remain as a defendant in the trial, which has entered its fifth month.
Jackson's mother and three children filed a lawsuit against AEG Live, Chief Executive Randy Phillips and executive Paul Gongaware. Both men testified earlier in the trial for several days.
The judge ruled that lawyers for Katherine Jackson did not prove claims that Phillips, CEO of AEG Live LLC, and promoter Gongaware could be held responsible the death of the pop star. The family's attorneys have attacked the company officials, arguing they missed warning signs about the superstar's health and created a conflict of interest for his physician.
The lawsuit alleges that AEG hired and was responsible for Conrad Murray, who delivered a fatal dose of the anesthetic propofol to help the pop star with his insomnia as he prepared for his "This Is It" tour. Jackson's family alleges that AEG did not properly investigate Murray.
An attorney for Jackson's family called the impact of Monday's ruling "negligible."
But AEG claims Jackson hired Murray, sentenced to four years in prison for the singer's death after his involuntary manslaughter conviction, as his personal physician.
The trial has included testimony from Jackson family members, AEG officials and doctors.

Miley Cyrus' Stolen Maserati Was Foundby Maggie Malach | PopCrush
Finally some good news for Miley Cyrus! After her house was burgled last weekend (May 30), Miley's stolen sports car has reportedly been located.
Two thieves, a man and a woman, allegedly lifted jewelry and a $135,000 Maserati from the singer's L.A. home. According to the Los Angeles Times, the 2014 Maserati Quattroporte was found abandoned on a street in Simi Valley, approximately 30 miles outside of downtown L.A.
The L.A. Times reports that the car in now in the hands of the LAPD, who are dusting the vehicle for fingerprints. Investigators allegedly suspect that the thieves are experienced, as there was no sign of forced entry on Miley's property.
Miley, who is currently overseas on her Bangerz tour, has yet to comment, according to MTV. However, she's been busy the last 24 hours, posting lots and lots of pics to her Instagram.
Once again, we're glad no one was hurt during the home invasion. However, we hope that Miley beefs up security to prevent future thefts!

CGI Federal Inc. has been granted provisional approval to offer cloud services under the federal government's FedRAMP cloud security program.
CGI Federal, a U.S. subsidiary of the CGI Group Inc., is the second company to earn FedRAMP certification and, currently the only large provider. In January, Cary, N.C.-based Autonomic Resources LLC, a certified 8a small business, won provisional authorization to market its infrastructure-as-a-service offerings to federal agencies.
FedRAMP, The Federal Risk Authorization Management Program, provides a standard approach for security assessment, authorization and continuous monitoring of cloud products and services. FedRAMP uses a "do once, use many times" framework that is expected to reduce the cost, time and staff required to conduct redundant agency security assessments of cloud solutions. The program is designed to accelerate the adoption of new technology while making procurement more cost-effective through the reuse of assessments and authorizations, CGI officials said.
CGI received the provisional approval from the FedRAMP Joint Authorization Board after company officials fully documented and implemented FedRAMP security controls on the company's cloud offerings. Afterwards, an independent FedRAMP-accredited third party assessment organization audited the implementation to ensure compliance, CGI officials said.
"As more government services and data are migrated to cloud environments, FedRAMP's controls will increase agency confidence through the consistent, disciplined application of security practices," CGI Federal President Donna Ryan said in a release. "Improving real-time security visibility and transparency of operations between agencies and cloud providers is critical to achieving the benefits of cloud."
CGI is a full-service cloud provider for commercial and government organizations globally. The company is one of three that have been awarded both of GSA's government-wide cloud contracts for infrastructure-as- a-service and e-mail-as-a-service.

The headline on this column asks a very important question. And it's a question I'm very worried about. To get some realistic and candid answers, I traveled to Charlotte, N.C., to interview three family physicians. They included: Dael Waxman, M.D., who has for many years taught family medicine in a large, well-respected residency, in a prominent medical center; Rhett Brown, M.D., who was the medical director of that program, but now is in solo practice affiliated with a different, but equally large hospital operation; and Cynthia Jamison, M.D. who graduated from the same residency program and who now practices in a northern suburb of Charlotte in a group affiliated with the same hospital system as Brown. I picked the Carolinas Medical Center residency program for its proximity and familiarity since I taught there in 2002. My sincere thanks to all three for their time and interest.
I can say that the general feeling of these doctors was that "Family Medicine is very much alive, and doing very well." Waxman said the residents are, for the most part, very well trained out of their respective medical schools and consequently the program's residency slots are being filled with doctors who the faculty feels will certainly succeed in their chosen career.
Brown agrees. He's gone back to full time practice with what he calls commitment to complete care of his patients - meaning prevention, diagnosis and treatment. In the large hospital he is affiliated with, he is confident the specialists he sends his patients to, are appropriate, individualized for that person's problems and that he is a full and respected member of the health care team. He hated the word "gatekeeper," a term often used some time ago, where family doctors were often seen as the door opener to some other specialty physician. All agreed that concept is over - a family physician has to be capable of dealing with the wide range of problems including environmental, emotional and family issues, along with the physical well being of the individual.
Jamison has practiced what's preached above. As a young African-American woman, she has used her training and skills with patients who sometimes had very difficult physical, mental and family problems. And she is certain her training made her successful in that role. Today she works in a more affluent northern suburb of Charlotte.
For the most part, all were extremely positive about the future, at least in their medical world. But in the world I live in, I'm not sure about this at all. I was around when the Family Medicine Residency was approved by the American Medical Association. I was a proctor for the very first Family Medicine Boards a long time ago. I was a charter member of the Society of Teachers of Family Medicine, because I taught in family medicine residencies throughout the United States teaching resident doctors how to establish themselves in medical practice. Family Medicine was and still is, the only residency that requires mandatory practice management instruction.
The concern I have with what these three excellent physicians said was this - they are in what I call an "excellence bubble." In their Charlotte work environment, in their very large medical operations, they have the ability to work with top physicians in every specialty. They are in a competitive medical environment on a very large scale, geared not only for quality medical care, but also important research into the many new facets of clinical medicine, to its delivery systems and often factors like behavioral and integrated modalities of care.
My contention regarding this bubble is that their medical environment does not trickle down to average communities like Bluffton. They may not even trickle down to places like Buffalo or Albany, New York or Savannah or Augusta, Georgia or most small and medium sized communities. These cities and certainly our area do not have that bubble environment, at least at the level of family medicine in Charlotte.
To be specific, lets examine so-called family medicine right here in Bluffton. I see total confusion as to primary care delivered by "practitioners," a term I find difficult to understand.
1. Is it family medicine when your doctor or practitioner, whatever residency or training he/she comes from, doesn't see you in the hospital? Many of these practitioners don't even know their patients are admitted. Many don't have any contact with the hospitalists at all. Doctors may not even have staff privileges; they don't need them as they don't go to the hospital. I asked the interviewed doctors why do you need to spend the time, money and effort to train residents in their respective hospital teaching programs? All said, "it makes them better doctors." Perhaps, but it's hard for me to understand a doctor who works for three years in hospital training programs, yet never goes to the hospital again after residency completion. This is certainly true in Beaufort County, as it is in many areas of the country. Few doctors see their patients in the hospital. I'm skeptical that nowadays, family medicine residents are simply the medical staff required to take care of the patients in their hospital affiliated residency programs. Of course they can get good training, but for what eventual purpose as medicine stands today.
2. Confusion. I think so. Suppose you're a retiree, 67 years old, just moved here from the Northeast or Midwest and have a really bad sore throat. You've had it for awhile and now you think you may need an antibiotic. You're in good health otherwise - a typical primary care acute problem. You don't have a doctor yet; you don't know any. The first one you call doesn't take new patients. The next one doesn't take Medicare patients. Now your throat really hurts. You see signs for Urgent Care Centers; you've never been to one in your life and you're a little nervous about it. Someone tells you there is a nurse practitioner group nearby. You saw such an individual in your previous doctor's office, but that nurse practitioner was under the direct supervision of your doctor. You're still nervous. You're beginning to get feverish with an aching head. So off you go to the one place you do understand - the hospital ER, where they treat you and advise you to get a doctor for the future. Confusion, never.
3. Why is the above happening? My three doctor friends said it has to do with the fact that many family medicine residents want a different lifestyle than their predecessors. They want office medicine. They want 8-5 jobs. They want to lead relatively normal lives and that means spending normal time with their families. Bless them all for that, I just don't understand why they chose a career in Family Medicine with all the above ramifications.
4. The doctors all agreed in my interview, that money is not a driving force if doctors choose family medicine as their career. For the most part, I'm sure they are correct. I know what doctors earn, specialty by specialty, and the family doctors and their colleague pediatricians are at the low end of the proverbial "totem pole." But that doesn't mean they can't make a good living maybe even a great one, if they know the business and management side of medical practice.
5. And that last thought brings me to my final concern - young doctors in today's medical world, don't want to be involved in the business of medicine. They don't want to worry about hiring and supervising personnel, insurance matters, clinical coding and above all, billing and collecting monies. Just pay them a salary and perhaps a productivity bonus, if all goes well. That is exactly why hospitals today are in the practice of medicine at the office level - a very questionable trend, a trend that may very well end the private practice of family medicine.
I guess I sound pretty pessimistic and I am. Pessimism is defined as an inclination to emphasize adverse aspects and conditions. But after interviewing these doctors in Charlotte, I saw how truly excited they were for the future of their chosen specialty. I got to thinking perhaps it's just me - an old, retired, medical management consultant's unwarranted view. On the other hand, I'm seeking proof I'm wrong in my worries. So I'm going to do more and more interviews, with all kinds of providers here in our area, seeking to end my confusion and I think yours.
So I agree family medicine is still "alive," certainly in some areas of the country like Charlotte. How "well" it is, appears to be in the eyes of the beholder.

SJ9200 : Council Housing - Park Lane
taken 7 years ago, near to Bushbury, Wolverhampton, Great Britain
This is 1 of 4 images, with title Council Housing - Park Lane in this square
Council Housing in Wolverhampton -1920s :: SO9296
A programme of council house building started after the Great War following on from the Lloyd Georges governments Housing Act of 1919. The 'Addison Act' brought in susidies for council house building and aimed to provide 500,000 'homes for heroes' within a three year period although less than half of this target was met.
There was a shortage of housing land available within the borough and the first houses were built in 1919-20. The sites were at Green Lane (Birmingham Road), Birches Barn, Oxley and Parkfield Road (Thompson Avenue).
The Green Lane site was in All Saints on the edge of the town centre. Birches Barn in the south west of town was farmland on the town boundary with Tettenhall. Oxley Golf Course was purchased north of the town. The Parkfield Road Estate was built on a brownfield site formerly part of a colliery south of the town on the boundary with Bilston.
The first tenants moved into their properties in November 1919.
The housing built comprised three bedroom dwellings with parlour and scullery: larger properties also include a living room. The standards are based on the Tudor Walters Report of 1919 and the Design Manual.
By 1923 around 550 houses had been built on these estates. Further land was obtained on the Old Heath Colliery to the east of the town (Eastfield). The first houses on the site were completed in 1924.
In 1923 the 'Chamberlain Act' withdrew subsidies for council houses except for private builders and houses for sale. The council undertook to build houses and offer these for sale and also sold off some of their existing properties.
Further sites started including Gorsebrook Road, Sweetman Street and the Newbridge Estate west of the town. The developments reflected availability of small parcels of land. The houses built now included smaller two bedroom dwellings at Gorsebrook Road.
The 'Wheatley Act' of 1924 passed by the new Labour Government introduced higher subsidies for council housing and also allowed for a contribution to be made from the rates.
In 1924 the council bought the Showell Estate and the larger Low Hill and Bushbury Estates from the Low Hill-Bushbury Estate Company. These provided the land for the huge developments of 1925-1929 and completed the initial phase of building. By 1927 over 2000 dwellings had been built on the Bushbury-Low Hill estates making this one of the largest council estates in the country. Although there are a variety of external styles the dwelling type is almost entirely three bedroom properties with parlour and scullery.

Minor league team to host Lennay Kekua Night
Bill Veeck, one of baseball's best innovative promoters, would be proud.
A minor league team in the San Francisco Giants organization will host Lennay Kekua Night on April 12 to kick off their 2013 promotional schedule.
Kekua is the fake girlfriend of Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o.
MORE:Manti Te'o hoax
The San Jose Giants, a Class A Advanced team in the California League, is the second team to take advantage of one of the most bizarre stories of the year.
Stanford students will be given two free tickets because they may know or be Teo's girlfriend. Kekua supposedly attended Stanford.
MORE:Team offers Manti Te'o Girlfriend Bobblehead Night
Catfish will be offered and "fans who purchase a game ticket can bring their imaginary or real significant other to the game for free. A meet and greet will also take place prior to the game for all couples to introduce their significant others to their parents, to avoid any confusion about the existence of a boyfriend or girlfriend."
Veeck, who was also a major league owner, once signed Eddie Gaedel, a 3 foot 7 inch tall player, to pinch-hit in a major league game.
Who know's what he would have done if he was still alive today with Te'o.

Lush Green Landscape
Looking out across the yard is like following a gradient, as soft yellow flowers lead to leafy shrubs, which then give way to a forest of evergreen trees. With so many plants in one place, the landscape is lush and a haven for local wildlife.

Globally Inspired Living Room With Built-In Bookshelves
This family room features a diverse mix of fabrics, patterns and materials to create a globally-inspired, eclectic space. The deep midnight blue accent color on the ikat drapery is carried over to the hand-painted wooden plaques above the fireplace. The whole look is grounded with a large oriental rug and a classic-lined sofa. Accent furniture, including a unique hammered bronze metal coffee table, modern orange chair and classic wing-back chair complete the look.
Master Bathroom: Modern Beach House in Malibu, Calif.
Light dances off the gray marble of the master bathroom that includes a steam sauna in the shower with chromatherapy and Bluetooth music capabilities.
Kitchen Island Doubles as Eat-In Counter
In the center of the kitchen, a large island works overtime by providing space for meal-prep on one side and serving as an eat-in counter on the other. Butcher blocks flank the farmhouse sink and add a hint of warmth.
Farm Sink in Renovated Kitchen
A farm sink is installed in the kitchen island. Variegated granite countertops are used for the cabinets, island and bar top.
Organized Pantry With Labeled Storage Containers
Save space by throwing out packaging, advises Clea Shearer, cofounder of The Home Edit, who recommends transferring items like granola bars and wrapped crackers into labeled bins. Or, shop in the bulk section when possible to skip cardboard boxes altogether.
Red and White Accents in White Kitchen
In the kitchen, large windows and French doors with oversized transoms allow plenty of natural light into the kitchen, making the space feel bright and open. The white walls that anchor the space reflect the light, continuing the open design. To add warmth and color, red and white patterns were introduced into the space, creating a classic, space that is light and casual.
Scandinavian Chef Kitchen With Oak Cabinets
Chef-grade stainless steel appliances nestle in between lovely white oak cabinetry. The white backsplash and countertops are a pop of fresh.
Bold Blue Backsplash
A backsplash should be anything but boring. This bold, blue patterned tile informed the design for the rest of the kitchen, including the vertical lined cabinets.
Outdoor Kitchen Sink With Built-In Refrigerator
This outdoor kitchen stone sink is made complete with stainless steel faucet and built-in refrigerator and storage space.
White and Brown Modern Outdoor Kitchen
A chic outdoor kitchen is tucked into this boxy space by the swimming pool and stocked with everything you need for luxurious al fresco entertaining.
Modern Outdoor Kitchen With Grilling Station
This custom outdoor kitchen is complete with brushed stainless steel appliances, plenty of counter space and wooden cabinetry to enhance the modern atmosphere of this New York City backyard.
Cozy Green Transitional Kitchen
This green transitional kitchen combines colorful design trends from the past with the future of home technology to create a cozy spot where your family will love to spend time.
Covered Outdoor Kitchen
For easy—and gourmet—outdoor entertaining, this covered patio is equipped with a chef-grade outdoor kitchen.
Eclectic Blue Kitchen and Dining Room with Blue Dining Chairs
An eclectic blue kitchen and dining room with blue dining chairs is shown, as seen on HGTV's Flip or Flop Vegas.
Transitional White Kitchen With Stunning Vaulted Ceiling
This spacious kitchen features all-over white cabinets that serve as a gorgeous contrast to a gray mosaic tile vaulted ceiling. An elegant chandelier enclosed in a glass cylinder hangs over the kitchen island, while white and light blue upholstered pub-style chairs provide casual dining space.
White, Contemporary Open Plan Kitchen
In this open plan kitchen, pale woods and white surfaces create a clean, streamlined look that's at once sophisticated and functional. A long center island features a waterfall countertop, along with ample seating and smoky gray pendant task lighting. Glass-front cabinetry showcases dishwear and glassware that continues the room's neutral, whitewashed color scheme.
Rustic Galley Kitchen With Striped Counters
The galley kitchen's monotone look uses subtle pattern for visual interest: The floor features chevron stripes. Countertops are striped, too, white with pale gray. And the ceiling's exposed beams are a strong horizontal line.
Harlequin Backsplash Uplifts a Traditional Kitchen Design
This kitchen's designer selected green and white marble tiles in a classic harlequin pattern for a unique backsplash that contemporizes this otherwise traditional kitchen. The silver antique meat grinder is another showstopper of the room and makes one think of an artistic piece of sculpture, rather than a cooking apparatus.

Here is the Lab information
Create a program that keeps track of the following information input by the user:
First Name, Last Name, Phone Number, Age
Now - let's store this in a multidimensional array that will hold 10 of these contacts. So our multidimensional array will need to be 10 rows and 4 columns.
You should be able to add, sort (by any column you chose) and remove contacts in the array.
I can code all the information provided that there are 1D arrays. But my Professor wants me to do them in 2D which is a little of challenge for me. My question is if my I do a 2D array will that be in conflict with m phone number and Age column?
--- Update ---
I was going to start with this.

Don't know why i can not edit my post but here is the beginning code.

Black Gold & Red Espresso
No, we're not going over to the dark side here at TGS. But there's a new movie that has to do with the other hot drink (you know the one) and that seemed worthy of a mention.
It's called Black Gold and it takes a look at how your cup of coffee makes its way to your breakfast table or your local Starbucks counter or whatever the case may be.
The Sundance Film Festival's concise take on the movie, which is posted at the Black Gold site, reads thusly:
"Black Gold is a moving and eye-opening look into the 80-billion-dollar global coffee industry, where the spoils of overpriced lattes and cappuccinos are sparsely shared with the farmers who make it all possible."
Speaking of coffee, how does a tea espresso grab you? Huh? What?
In the strictest sense of the word, red espresso isn't a tea drink, given the fact that it's made with Rooibos, the South African "herbal" tea also known as redbush. But let's not split hairs.
I guess it remains to be seen whether there's a market for this sort of thing, although the company's Web site indicates that the product is already available at some South African cafes.

For those of you who are interested in the issue of Fair trade, there is a powerful documentary out called "Black Gold," that documents the lives of Ethiopian coffee farmers and clearly demonstrates why all of us should be asking for Fair Trade coffee. The film was recently released in the theater but is now available to the public on DVD via California Newsreel. You can read more about the documentary or pick up a copy of it here at http://newsreel.org/

The other day I started making red espresso tea (100% rooibos) using a Breville espresso machine. I get a rich rooibos flavor with excellent crema. The red shot is a tasty caffeine-free beverage. My favorite way to drink it is with brown sugar and a touch of cinnamon.

Even though showers threatened crowds throughout the night, the weather held off and some at the festival were even sporting a bit of sunburn the next day.
Many had barely set up camp and they were donning their costumes and glitter for the first night of the festival.
The set list boasted a variety of music to suit all tastes, from the rock sounds of Warped and Stonefield to the sludge metal of Melvins and dance numbers of World's End Press.

Some people put on pounds for the holidays. I put on performances in the art of competitive eating.
But even after Christmas came and went, my mom wouldn't let me come back to school unless I loaded up the family wagon with one metric truckload of home-cooked meals, complete with all the fixings.
But before I can even pop those culinary masterpieces into the microwave, I have to scope out a restaurant where Chico can get a cheap meal that will stick to its collective ribs.
I know. It's a tough job, but somebody's got to do it.
For our newest adventure in gastro-intestinal fortitude, my girlfriend Quinn and I took a trip to the most noun-intensive restaurant I've ever visited: Scrambles Grill Bakery Coffeehouse, just off of East Avenue.
Upon entry, I realized that Scrambles looks like the playpen of a ravenous toddler. Underneath the matte black ceiling, each section of wall is painted a different shade of bright Crayola color, which is broken up every few feet or so by enormous canvases.
Each of the paintings owe a debt to Pollock's drip-fling style of interpretive art, and together with the lurid walls, create a decidedly offbeat dining experience, similar to the 100th Monkey Cafe or Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. The decor was a pleasant break from conventional breakfast spots, which are usually content to furnish each table with a bouquet of fake flowers and wrought-iron ketchup caddies.
If you Google Scrambles, you'll see that most of the reviews range from worshipful to scathing, with nothing in between.
Most of the negative reviews online focus on the supposedly unhelpful wait staff, with one unhappy gourmand complaining that the workers ignored him completely. Other people said it took at least 10 minutes to get seated.
I'm happy to report, however, that the wait staff at Scrambles sat Quinn and I within one minute of our arrival, and a waitress came to take our drink orders shortly thereafter. She seemed to sense that my girlfriend and I were in a big hurry, because she brought the food and check promptly, followed shortly by our to-go boxes.
The food was inexpensive — I got a generous plate of two over-easy eggs, two pieces of sausage, four pieces of wheat toast and a whole mess of sliced potatoes for $4.99.
Everything was great except for the potatoes, which tasted bland and spongy.
My girlfriend, who was not under my meager budget constraints, ordered a huge hunk of quiche with artichoke hearts and a side of fruit for $7. She also sprung for a large piece of deep-fried French toast and an iced tea, bringing her total bill about even with the stratosphere.
Quinn and I agreed that her quiche, which looked like a third of the total pie, was delicious. She also loved the deep-fried French toast, but it was too oily and soggy for my taste.
All things considered, Scrambles is a brightly-colored gem of a breakfast joint that shines in comparison to its pricier cousins. The decor is a refreshing departure from the usual fare. The wait staff is friendly and efficient. And most importantly, the food is tasty, inexpensive and comes by the bucket.

Devin Gardner ran for two touchdowns and threw for another in the first half as No. 17 Michigan went on to beat Central Michigan 59-9 in college football.
Wolverines beat Chippewas by 50 points
Devin Gardner ran for two touchdowns and threw for another in the first half as No. 17 Michigan went on to beat Central Michigan 59-9 in college football.
It was the highest-scoring opener for the Wolverines (1-0) since 1905, when they beat Ohio Wesleyan 65-0. They will face a tougher test against No. 14 Notre Dame next week at home in a prime-time game.
The Chippewas (0-1) fell behind 35-6 at halftime Saturday. After they gave up five straight TDs, Ron Coluzzi's third field goal made it 56-9 with 3:12 left in the game.
Gardner was 10 of 15 for 162 yards with a 16-yard TD pass to Jeremy Gallon and two interceptions. He ran for a 22-yard score midway through the first quarter when Michigan led by just four points and had a 4-yard TD on the ground late in the first half.
The Wolverines' scoring barrage started on the opening drive when Dymonte Thomas blocked Central Michigan's punt and Joe Reynolds scooped up the football and returned it 30 yards for a score.
Gardner threw an interception on his second pass, and overthrew a receiver on his other interception. Other than those two snaps, Denard Robinson's replacement was effective throwing and running the ball.
The rout allowed Michigan coach Brady Hoke to give freshman Shane Morris playing time, a potentially valuable experience in case Gardner gets injured this season. Morris was 4 of 6 for 59 yards and had an interception on pass tipped by a teammate.
Michigan's Fitzgerald Toussaint completed a successful comeback, running for 57 yards and two TDs in his first game since breaking his left leg last November against Iowa. One of his backups, Drake Johnson, left the game after appearing to hurt his left knee in the third quarter. Freshman running back Derrick Green ran for 58 yards and a third-quarter TD.
Central Michigan quarterback Cody Kater and running back Zurlon Tipton started the game, but couldn't finish it because of injuries.
Kater was 2 of 6 for 13 yards and Alex Niznak replaced him and was 11 of 22 for 131 yards with an interception. Tipton ran for 10 yards on four carries, getting shut down during two series after running for nearly 1,500 yards.
A couple hours before kickoff, Michigan announced that starting safety Thomas Gordon was suspended for one game for an unspecified violation of team rules.

It was almost 2 years ago that I presented my beloved garage project, Dedexer at Droidcon 2009. A lot of things has happened since. First and foremost I returned to my home country, Hungary. Those Londroid meetups and Droidcon are not a Tube-ride away anymore. Then there was the step count cooperation with the University of Geneva folks that resulted in a fine paper.
In short, it is just about time to return to Droidcon.
My presentation will be a developer-centric introduction to the world of accelerometer signal processing on Android devices, representing my second employer, Sfonge Ltd. Have you ever thought about introducing features into your apps that can be activated by body movements? Maybe you haven't so it is about time you start thinking about it. Let's meet at Droidcon 2011 and I will explain to you, how simple it is to add such a feature.
Well, that was a lie. Motion recognition is not trivial but exactly that's why it is worth learning about it.

Your Healthy Grocery Makeover
12 Easy Ways to Eat Healthier
Who among us hasn't sped down the grocery aisle tossing in items right and left in our rush to get home and make dinner? These simple substitutions will get you out of the store just as quickly—but with much healthier options in your bags.
Instead of: Plain bagels
Get: Whole-grain bagels
Most of us know by now that "whole grains are much better than white flour," says Kristin Kirkpatrick, MS, RD, the wellness manager and dietician for Lifestyle 180, a wellness program at Cleveland Clinic in Cleveland that helps reverse effects of chronic conditions. "It's higher in fiber so it's digested slower. And you won't be hungry an hour later because of a rapid fall in blood sugar." Another smart move: Buy bagels the size of hockey pucks, not those that are as big as hubcaps. Or try the new "thinner" bagels.
Instead of: Cream cheese
Get: Peanut butter
Peanut butter packs protein and a healthy plant fat, unlike the saturated fat in cream cheese. "Pick peanut butter that is 100% peanuts," dietician Kirkpatrick says, nixing brands with sugar and hydrogenated (read "trans fat") oils.
Instead of: Jelly
Get: Strawberries or bananas
Add sliced strawberries or bananas to a peanut butter sandwich, and you slip in a whole fruit instead of jelly, which is loaded with sugar, Kirkpatrick says.
Instead of: Chicken nuggets
Get: Chicken-on-a-stick
If your tweens still love the ease and familiarity of chicken nuggets, give them what they want—but better. Buy ready-made chicken kabobs (or make your own from boneless chicken breasts); sprinkle them with sesame seeds, smoked paprika, or five-spice powder; and pop them on an indoor or outdoor grill. You're serving a healthy dose of protein instead of breading and fat, says Gaye Lynn Hicks, RD, LD, a dietician specialist at the Methodist Weight Management Center at Methodist Hospital in Houston: "Protein helps us keep lean body mass and essential amino acids help our metabolism function," Hicks says. And besides, your older kids will probably think chicken-on-a-stick is much cooler than nuggets.
Instead of: Plain eggs
Get: Eggs fortified with DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)
DHA is a heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acid. "People who consume ample amounts of omega-3s, especially DHA, have a much lower incidence of depression, aggressiveness and hostility," says Elizabeth Somer, MA, RD, author of Eat Your Way to Happiness. "Look for eggs fortified with sustainable, algae-based DHA. Products fortified with flax, which contains a different omega-3, won't give you the same boost."
Instead of: Canned vegetables
Get: Fresh or frozen
Angela Mackey, a stay-at-home mother of three in Fort Smith, Arkansas, shuns canned veggies and syrupy fruit for fresh. Wise move, says dietician Hicks: Fresh and frozen beat canned because canned foods often have added sugar and sodium, she says.
Instead of: Mayonnaise
Get: Salsa
"Salsa has absolutely no fat, lots of flavor, and very few calories," says Bethanne Weiss, founder of Funiq Fitness and a stepmom to three in Lake Mary, Florida. Weiss uses salsa to dress salads, on baked potatoes, in tuna fish, and on sandwiches. The tomatoes in salsa have lots of lycopene, which reduces the risk of prostate cancer. Another option: Use guacamole or avocado slices instead of mayonnaise, says dietician Kirkpatrick: "Avocado is high in vitamin E, which helps brain function."
Instead of: Processed deli meats
Get: Nitrate-free deli meats
"I don't even look at the regular meat section anymore," says Jennifer Bright Reich, the cofounder and editorial director of Mommy MD Guides and mother of two in Allentown, Pennsylvania. She was right to make the switch to preservative-free meats, says Kirkpatrick. "Processed deli meats and hot dogs have nitrates, which have been linked to certain cancers." They also have a lot of sodium, only a boon if you're after high blood pressure.
Instead of: Sugary cereal
Get: Whole-grain cereals
"The first ingredient on the cereal box should be whole grain," says nutrition expert Somer. "Look for ones with at least 3 to 5 grams of fiber and less than 4 grams, or 1 teaspoon, of sugar per serving." Peggy Frezon, a writer with two children in Rensselaer, New York, switched from fruit-and-cream oatmeal packets—which have almost 11 grams of sugar per serving—to plain oatmeal. Because of that and a wholesale change to whole grains and low-fat dairy, she's lost 30 pounds, her husband had lost 40, and her teenage son has dropped his cholesterol by 30 points.
Instead of: Blue yogurt
Get: Plain low-fat yogurt
Blend your own fresh blueberries or strawberries and a little honey into plain yogurt, and your kids will have blue or pink yogurt just like the other kids—except without the dye and sugar, says Kirkpatrick. "There's no benefit to dyes. And although the evidence is weak, animal studies show some links between dyes and ADHD and cancer."
Instead of: Jarred pasta sauce
Get: No-sodium or low-sodium canned crushed tomatoes
"The jarred versions of red sauce have sugar," says Kirkpatrick. "Add basil and pepper to crushed tomatoes, and then ladle it on whole-grain pasta. It tastes yummy."
Instead of: Fruit snacks
Get: Whole fruit
"Many fruit snacks are just like sugar—it's no better than eating gummy bears," Hicks says. "They have no nutritive value. Instead, buy fresh fruit. Grapes and apples are both great afternoon snacks and are easy to sneak into lunch bags. Don't be tempted by the canned fruit. Most is swimming in syrup," Hicks says.

I was sitting in a class on U.S. Civil War Records and the instructor was showing how to identify the actual position in a battle that your ancestor may have participated in, when one of the participants ask a very pointed question, "How does knowing which battle someone fought in help me do my genealogy?" I was guessing from the question that the person asking was more interested in names and dates than the details of the lives of her ancestors. She may also have been entirely disinterested in Civil War battles. I was a bit disturbed by the question and the need to interrupt a rather good class to address the issue of adding historical details to the lives of our ancestors.
I think the attitude shown by the question is one of the main schisms that exist in the genealogical community today, i.e. name collectors vs. family historians. Is there any way to resolve these two extremes? At one end of the spectrum we have those who can't see any need for history and at the other end, we see those who can't see any need for genealogists at all.
I guess the question asked above could be considered to be legitimate in the context of the order of battle of an ancestor, but the larger question, implied by the actual one asked, is whether or not we need any of these details if they do not lead us to further our research? I suggest that both sides of the issues have a contribution to make, but even though it is not commonly recognized, they are co-dependent. Of course it is necessary to identify the ancestor before you can do research into his or her life, but a failure to do good genealogy results in mis-identification and lack of focus. The story of the soldier marching into battle may seem to have little to do with genealogy, but given the types of records created during and after the Civil War, I would think that any competent researcher would immediately see the value of placing your ancestor at a particular time and location, even if that location was a battle in the War.
I will undoubtedly return to this issue in the future, but for right now, I suggest that we call a truce and admit that history and genealogy can benefit from each other.

Why do I care about those details?

This is partly why I prefer the British use of the term "Family History" instead of "Genealogy". Using "Family History" sets out my stall from the beginning.ReplyDelete
A probably gross-oversimplification of the 2 terms in the UK is that genealogists originally traced lands and titles of aristocratic families and landed gentry. When people wanted to "democratise" the study, and show that ordinary people could be as interesting as titled ones, they looked at everything else they did and called "family history" into being. Or that's my take on it.

Lefkada | Ionian Islands
The ultimate luxury of living in perfect harmony with nature, is what makes Lefkada's visitors return to the island time and time again. With its fringed coastline and lush slopes that stretch all the way down to the Ionian, the landscape of Lefkada is incredibly seductive, especially to visitors when they arrive for the first time. And it is
Lefkada is blessed with spectacular, world renowned beaches of fine white sand, thin pebbles and turquoise waters, backed by lush slopes that create a mesmerising backdrop. Charming houses with terracotta roofs are sprinkled along a coastline bordered by olive and cypress trees that lean gently toward the sea.
Lefkada is the only Greek island, except Evia, that is accessible by car. A 50m wide bridge stretches outwards from the island's east coast, connecting it to the mainland. There, at the east coast, you will find the more developed areas, beautiful Nydri with its cosmopolitan flair, among them.
Further inland, nestled in its mountainous spine's green slopes, Lefkada's traditional farming villages paint a picture of rural bliss.
The Venetian castle of Agia MavraThe medieval castle of Agia Mavra was built in 1300 AC to protect the island's capital against the pirates. This well-preserved castle used to house a school, water tanks, hospitals, churches and the seat for politicians, among other buildings. Inside the castle you will find the 15th century church of Agia Mavra and the ruins of the shrine of Pantokrator, as well as a canon engraved with the name of its manufacturer.
Prehistoric city of NirikosPrehistoric Nirikos was the island's first city, extending from the hilltops of Koulmos all the way down to the eastern coast. The ancient city was protected by walls, the ruins of which can now be found at the archaeological site of Nirikos, along with the ruins of two cemeteries, shrines, houses and other buildings.
Cape LefkatasLefkada took its name but the white (lefko) rocks of Cape Lefkatas. Legend has it that poetess Sapfo threw herself from these rocks after the sea demon Phaon broke her heart. The towering white rocks emerge vertically out of the electric-blue sea, creating dramatic scenery that will leave you breathless.
Dimosari waterfallsCreating scenery of awe-inspiring beauty, the waterfalls of Dimosari are perched in a gorge on the outskirts of Nidri. Leave your car at cafe Platanos and walk the path that winds through the lush forest leading to the waterfalls. Once you reach the biggest waterfall, you can cool off at the pool underneath it before you head back.
Lefkada's natural beauty makes it ideal for outdoor activities, and just driving around the island is an experience in itself. The beaches are heavenly and are often ranked among the world's best.
There are many excellent hiking paths - the trail that runs through the gorge of Melissas and the path that leads to the waterfalls of Dimosari are among the best of them. There are also many excellent diving sites, thanks to the crystal clear waters and its rich seabed.
Lovers of kitesurfing and windsurfing will find that the beach of Mili, with its warm, smooth winds and turquoise waters, is a hotspot for high-flyers. Lefkada has a long yachting tradition, so if you happen to be here in September, you can experience the annual Ionian Regatta, one of the biggest yachting events in the Mediterranean.
Lefkada also boasts several charming villages, each with its distinct character. The seaside village of Nidri is the island's most popular resort. Wander around the alleys of the Old Town, have a coffee at the picturesque port, visit the museum to see relics from the Neolithic period and the archaeological site with the Byzantine and Roman tombs, and mingle with the cheerful crowd of locals and tourists in one of the numerous bars and restaurants. Lefkada town, the main town and capital of the island, buzzes with activity.
Visit the monastery of Panagia Faneromeni, explore the Archaeological museum and the museum of Gramophones, and pick one of the many restaurants to try the island's exquisite cuisine. For a taste of true rural life, lose yourself at the beautiful inland villages of Exanthia, Karia and Eglouvi and try the local delicacies at the family-owned tavernas.
There are no ferries connecting Lefkada to the mainland, however you can get there by car or bus. The drive from Athens to Lefkada takes about 5 hrs. Alternatively, you can fly to the airport of Aktion/ Preveza and drive 30min to cross to the island.
Amidst the symphony of turquoise and whitish coasts magically blended with lush vegetated settings lay the lovely luxury villas in Lefkada. Exquisite luxury villas with a swimming pool can be found throughout the island for endless moments of relaxation while those who wish total seclusion can find their haven in one of the luxurious private villas hidden in isolated spots. Whatever the need, navigate through our handpicked list of holiday villas to rent and start packing.

The $690 million 300MW wind power project in Bubisa, in the Marsabit district of northern Kenya was expected to start generating electricity in June 2011, reaching full capacity by 2012. It would be the country's second wind farm, after the $720 million 300MW project by the Lake Turkana Wind Power (LTWP) consortium.
But Gitson Energy, the developer behind the Bubisa project, has not made the necessary commitments to either Kenya's power distributor, the transmission system operator (TSO) or to the government. Gitson Energy is said to be owned by Kenyans living abroad, though its corporate structure and true ownership has yet to be made public.
Although Isaac Kiva, the principal superintending engineer in charge of the Kenyan government's renewable energy department, confirmed having received a proposal from Gitson Energy in June for a wind farm, the ministry has to wait for at least seven months before giving final approval for the project while the company carries out a feasibility study.
Gitson Energy managing director Michael Nderitu said in Nairobi recently that the company has engaged the services of renewable energy consultancy GL Garrad Hassan. Asked to confirm this, GL Garrad Hassan did not reply by the time Windpower Monthly went to press.
Gitson Energy, which has promised to construct the wind farm on a turn-key basis to eliminate delays and enhance quality, has yet to make a concrete agreement on a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC), the country's sole electricity distributor, according to KPLC's communications officer Kevin Sang.
And contrary to earlier reports in the Kenyan media that Gitson Energy had struck a tentative agreement with the country's TSO, officials at the Kenya Electricity Transmission Company (Ketraco) say they are waiting for detailed information from the company before they can commit to constructing a 200-kilometre transmission line from the site.
That line would be linked to the 428-kilometre 400kV line to be constructed by LTWP. It will run from Loiyangalani, where the 300MW wind farm is to be sited, to Suswa, the nearest point to the national grid, which is about 100 kilometres from the capital Nairobi. However, no agreement has been reached between the two wind power developers on the sharing of the transmission line.
Earlier, Gitson CEO James Gitau had indicated that the company had "received funding and equity proposals from potential strategic partners", including US-based Export-Import (Ex-Im) Bank and Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC).
But an Ex-Im Bank spokesman says: "We have no official record concerning Gitson Energy and have committed no funds to such a project." As Windpower Monthly went to press OPIC had not responded to a request to comment.
Gitson communications director Cyrus Thairu says that the company has financial commitments from "some entities", and will release details at a later date.

What should I do if I no longer fall in the suggested age range or skin type?
If your age and/or skin type changes, take the Skincare Analysis (available on MotivesCosmetics.com) to discover the products that best meet your changing skincare needs.
Why is following a basic skincare regimen important?
Following a basic skincare regimen (cleanser, toner and moisturizer) is important to keep skin balanced and healthy. If skin is too dry, it reacts by creating sebum (oil), causing oily or combination skin. If skin is too oily, it can lead to unwanted breakouts and the appearance of larger pores. It is important to cleanse, tone and moisturize so skin maintains optimal equilibrium.
Why is my skin so dry?
As we age, there are several factors that affect our skin health, most importantly a reduction in epidermal turnover rate and sebum production. This causes the skin to produce less oil and become drier. Lumière de Vie Intense Rejuvenation Crème is an ultra-rich formula that hydrates the skin for a smoother, firmer and more youthful appearance.

My favorite products!
The facial cleanser is so gentle and it actually removes all my makeup without drying my skin.
The rejuvenation creme is s must for everyone, especially in a cold weather. It moisturizes my skin to a very deep level and absorbs all the way. I never have the feeling of something sitting on top of my skin. There is no smell to it. Always been my number one product.
This kit is definitely worth it!

St. John's expects a big crowd for the game and encourages fans to arrive early and expects delays.

Pizzerias pay less to use Slice. Which means you pay less for pizza.
Every order supports small shops, their families, and the community.
Slice doesnt hurt shops with high fees. So they can afford the best ingredients.
I've used the Slice app to order from our local pizzeria several times, and each time is better than the last. The app is easy, and the service and product from our pizzeria do not disappoint. I'm thankful to live in an area where I can still depend on local, quality food!
