Raiwind (Urdu: راۓوِنڈ), is a town in the Punjab province of Pakistan. It is part of the Allama Iqbal Town subdivision of Lahore District[1] and is located at 31°15'16N 74°13'4E with an altitude of 203 metres (669 feet) and lies about 40 kilometers (25 mi) from Lahore.[2] The history of the town dates back to the pre-independence days before 1947. Raiwind also houses one of the biggest railway track workshops of Pakistan. The city flourished in the early 1990s in Nawaz Sharif's regime when an industrial zone was set up in the west of the city. Later Mr. Nawaz Sharif selected the vicinity of the town as his home, making it even more notable for the world outside.
In the first decade of the 21st century, the town gained more prominence when Chief Minister Punjab Chaudhary Pervez Elahi established Sunder Industrial Estate in the vicinity of the town, a few kilometres away from the town. Punjabi and Mewati are the main languages of Raiwind. MPA of Raiwind Abdul Rashid Bhatti was the first individual to deliver a speech in Punjabi in Punjab Assembly, Lahore.
During British Rule, Raiwind was part of the tehsil of Lahore, and the town was a junction on the North-Western Railway, where the line from Delhi via Bhatinda joined that from Multan to Lahore. At the time of partition, in 1947, Mian Said Rasool from Arain family was appointed by the newly formed Pakistani government as the Zilledar (District Administrator) of Raiwind.
The city is home to a number of government and private educational institutions. Previously, the education sector was not as prominent an aspect of the life of the citizens there as it is now.
The population according to the 1901 census was 1,764. Before the Ferozepore-Bhatinda Railway was opened, it was an important centre of the local trade in agricultural produce; and it had two cotton-ginning factories and a cotton-press, which employed around 203 people.[3] Following independence in 1947 the railway links eastwards were no longer functional. There is also the famous Mission school of Raiwind. This school has produced politicians, academicians and scholars, prominent one is, Professor Dr. Gulzar Ahmed Niazi, who did his Ph.D. in 1968 from university of Bristol, England. He is an internationally recognized expert in Thalassemias and other genetic diseases. Dr. Niazi belongs to oldest family of Raiwind and he is currently living in USA.
Annual Tablighi Ijtema[edit]
Every year a Muslim religious convention is held here.[4] An annual gathering of followers in Pakistan, the ijtema, is held at Raiwind Markaz. A typical ijtema starts on a Thursday afternoon and continues for the next three days and ends with an exceptionally long prayer.[5] These gatherings are considered moments of intense blessings by Tabligh Jamaat members and are known to attract members in excess of 2 million in Pakistan.[6] The last day of Ijtema may often see several million people, including devoted celebrities, political and administrative brass of Pakistan. The Pakistani Ijtema is the largest of annual Tablighi Ijtemas after Bangladesh. In 2011 Pakistan divided the Ijtema into two parts and total 1 million People attended each of the two Ijtema.[7][8]
This gathering lasts for 3 days and then groups of 10 to 15 people in a "Jamaat" (Muslim Group) are made to go around the world to preach the message of Allah. Hundreds of thousands of people attend this religious gathering yearly. Presently the Ameer (principal) of Raiwind Center is Haji Abdul Wahab.Since 2007, this congregation has been held semiannually in Pakistan. A few Muslim scholars come from India, and the majority comes from Pakistan. The central theme of the sermons of Ulema is that the success in this life and the hereafter lies in the commandments of Allah and ways of Muhammad. Maulana Tariq Jameel is a scholar who delivers lectures during this annual convention which in Pakistan is called ijtema.
Tabligh Jamaat encourages its followers to follow the pattern of spending "an evening, one night, three days, a week, or forty days, 40 continuous days a year, and ultimately 120 days at least once in their lives engaged in tabligh missions". During the course of these tours, members are generally seen dressed in simple, loose-clothing. The Jamaat's walking on streets can be identified by its members carrying sleeping bags and packs of bare minimum cookery on their backs and walking in a straight line along the pathways and footpaths, when they are aiming to arrive at a destination by foot.[9] These members use mosques as their base during their stays but particular mosques, due to more frequent tablighi activities, have come to be specifically associated with this organisation. These mosques generally hold the periodic, smaller scale convocations for neighbourhood members.[10]
During their stay in mosques, these jamaats conduct a daily gasht, which involves visiting local neighbourhoods, preferably with the help of a local guide.[11] They invite people to attend the Maghrib prayer at their mosque and those who attend are delivered a sermon after the prayers, which essentially outlines the Six Principles. They urge the attendees to spend time in tabligh for self reformation and the propagation of Islam.[12][13] Also the regular activities like eating, sleeping etc. are also carried out in the mosques.
Generally, the assumed role of these jamaat members cycle in a way that they may be engaged as a preacher, a cook or as a cleaner at other times. Among Tabligh Jamaat members, this is generally referred to as khidmat which essentially connotes to serving their companions and freeing them for tablighi engagements.[9] The members of the Jamaat are assigned these roles based on the day's mashwara. The markaz keeps records of each jamaat and its members, the identity of whom is verified from their respective mosques. Mosques are used to assist the tablighi activities of individual jamaats that voluntarily undertake preaching missions.[14][15] Members of a jamaat, ideally, pay expenses themselves so as to avoid financial dependence on anyone.[9] However, reverent members may at times also sponsor expenses of some of their "brothers" who might be devoted members but without necessary financial means.

Troopers: Pregnant woman involved in chase had kids in car
by: Liz Artz Updated:
CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. - A pregnant woman led state troopers on a chase through Clayton County with two children in her car, officials said.
A Georgia State Patrol trooper stopped 21-year-old Marquita Clerk for speeding in a school zone on Lamar Hutchinson Parkway on Wednesday afternoon, according to a spokesman.
Troopers told Channel 2's Liz Artz that Clerk sped away during the traffic stop and led police on a chase that eventually ended on the ramp from Mt. Zion Boulevard to Interstate 75 after two PIT maneuvers.
Clerk is accused of causing two other accidents during the chase.
Troopers said she is five months pregnant and she had a 3- and 4-year-old child in the car, only one of which was properly restrained. NewsChopper 2 showed the children sitting on the police car as police investigated the crime scene.
Clerk is wanted in East Point for probation violation on a disorderly conduct charge.
She faces more than a dozen new charges following Wednesday's chase.

Hello, why you have doubt about your kidneys? If you are healthy and do not have symptoms like, swelling of legs, breathing difficulty, swelling of face, severe generalized weakness then you need not worry. If you still have doubt about your kidneys then go ahead with renal function tests. Urine routine will tell you about any infection in urinary tract and serum(blood) urea creatine will tell you about whether kidney is working normally or not. Both tests are 20min procedure.

text: IT Workplace Microsoft lays off 800 people Nancy Gohring @itworldca Published: November 4th, 2009Microsoft is laying off another 800 people, adding to the 5,000 the company has already let go this year.The Techflash blog first reported the news.The affected people are based around the world and work in various groups and will be notified on Wednesday, Microsoft said.The layoffs are part of the plan that Microsoft announced in January to let go of 5,000 people, although Wednesday's action adds to that original number. "In the ensuing 11 months from January until now, we realized we had to move a little beyond the 5,000, so that put us at about 5,800," said Lou Gellos, a spokesman for Microsoft. While Microsoft initially said that it would complete the layoff program by June 2010, this round of layoffs finishes the plan, he said.As is its usual policy, Microsoft will regularly monitor its size and make adjustments as needed, he said.This marks the first large layoff in the company's history. It immediately let go about 1,400 people after the cuts were announced in January. It made an additional cut in May, saying that the round nearly completed the total 5,000 cuts.At the time, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said that more cuts could happen.The most recent cuts follow an earnings report that included a 14 percent drop in revenue. Market reception to the news was generally positive, since the drop was less than expected.

A Visit with Astral Artists
This week, the Young Artists Showcase visits with Astral Artists, the Philadelphia-based non-profit that selects and supports exceptional young artists. Since 1992, Astral Artists has presented emerging classical musicians, often in their Philadelphia debut.
First up is clarinetist Romie de Guise-Langlois, performing the famous Debussy Rhapsodie and then world premiere of Te Souviens-tu?, a work commissioned from her father, the film and TV composer Jerome Langlois. Te Souviens-tu? recalls an island vacation during which de Guise-Langlois' mother was pregnant with her.
Then we reach back to another recital of Astral Artists with pianist Alexandre Moutouzkine and flutist Angel Hsiao. First a Bach flute sonata and then a work by contemporary Japanese composer Yuko Uebayashi. Like Te Souviens-tu?, Uebayashi's Au-delá de temps is an evocation of a faraway place — in this case, the impressionistic work for two flutes and piano takes a sentimental journey from Kyoto to Paris.
Program details:
Clause Debussy: Premiere Rhapsodie pour Clarinette
Jerome Langlois: Te Souviens-tu? (Do you Remember?)
— Romie de Guise-Langlois, clarinet; Andrea Lam, piano.
J.S. Bach: Sonata for Flute in G minor, BWV 1020
— Angel Hsiao, flute; Alexandre Moutouzkine, piano.
Yuko Uebayashi: Au-delá de temps (Transcending Time)
— Angel Hsiao, Ya-Ting Yu, flute; Alexandre Moutouzkine, piano.
Recorded in concert, December 2012 and January 2013 in Philadelphia.

Whether a garter snake is in your house or your yard, removing garter snakes gives some people peace of mind. Although they can bite people, these non-venomous snakes only eat small animals, including aquatic invertebrates, worms, small lizards, baby birds and small mammals. Garter snakes grow up to 3 feet long, but their girth remains narrower than most snakes. With more than a dozen species throughout the United States, these common snakes keep small pests under control and should not be bothered, if possible.
Things You'll Need
- Glue Traps
- Glue or staple gun
- Plywood
- Vegetable oil
- Mesh fencing
- Stakes
- Shovel
- Bucket
- Mat or cloth
- Gloves
Create a 2-foot by 2-foot square using a glue gun or a staple gun to attach glue traps to a firm surface such as plywood.
Lay the trap against the wall where the snake will likely cross.
Check the trap at least once a day.
Move the entire trap outside once the snake is caught.
Pour vegetable oil on the garter snake to break down the glue and release it.
Construct two sets of mesh fencing at least 2 feet high and long enough to parallel the width of the area where the snake has been located.
Place the fences in a "V" shape but leave a 1-foot gap between the two fences. The fences funnel the snake to the gap.
Bury a large bucket until the rim is level with the ground.
Cover it with a material such as a mat or cloth, which easily falls into the bucket.
Check the bucket often because other animals may fall into this trap. Garter snakes may also fall into the trap without the material.
Wear thick gloves to pull the snakes out of the bucket for relocation.
Remove the trap as soon as it has served its purpose to avoid trapping other animals.
Tips & Warnings
- An alternative trap to set at the apex of the fences consists of a see-through container with a funnel on the opening. The snake goes through the funnel but cannot get back through the small opening. However, the snake's release proves more problematic with this design.
- While garter snakes have no venom, the bite hurts like any other animal bite.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after handling the snakes.

I received the following error message when using the vSphere Client to cold migrate a VMware guest running on ESX 3.0.2 to a new datastore :
Incompatible device specified for device '0'
The migration failed at 99%. VMware KB 9105247 suggested the problem was an attached .ISO image file. No .ISOs were showing as attached in the VI client, so I edited the guest's .vmx file. I found the following in the .vmx file:
ide0:0.fileName = "/usr/lib/vmware/isoimages/windows.iso"
So although the VI client did not indicate there was an .ISO file attached to the CD-ROM, the guest thought there was one. I removed the CD-ROM from the guest's configuration and re-added it, and the .vmx file was changed to the following:
ide0:0.deviceType = "cdrom-raw"
I then started the storage migration once more, and it completed successfully.

Movie Recommendations #6: Carnal Knowledge
Tonight at 1:30 AM Eastern on the network Turner Classic Movies, a movie is airing called "Carnal Knowledge." It stars Jack Nicholson and Art Garfunkel (yes, that Art Garfunkel). The movie is about two male friends and their friendship with each other and sex lives with the opposite sex from college to middle age. It's a character-driven story rather than a plot-driven one, so while there's a coherent, linear narrative, there's no real single overarching storyline.
There are two major themes running through the movie that I think would resonate with most longtime readers of the blog. One is toxic relationships between emotional vampires and codependents, and how each have elements of the other, and how even in a single relationship people can sometimes switch roles, taking turns oscillating between being the vampire and being the victim. An example is the clip below
The second theme is one I used to write about more earlier in the life of this blog, when I was more heavily influenced by evolutionary psychology: the alpha male versus beta male dynamic, or in evolutionary psychology terms, the cads and dads theory.
Since the former has been discussed quite heavily on this blog recently, I'd like to give a refresher on the cads and dads theory. This theory states that women are more attracted to rough and rugged "cads," or colloquially speaking "alpha males," on a primal sexual level, but find milder and more responsible "dads," or colloquially speaking "beta males," to be a more responsible long-term choice because they are better providers, less likely to leave, and less likely to impregnate other women, which would lead to the diversion of resources outside of the home. (Please, don't get into whether alpha males or beta males are a realistic construct when applied to humans, or whether or not all men can or should be squarely be divided into either category. I'm not proposing any of that; I'm just simplifying the theory as much as possible for clarity and brevity's sake.)
This article goes into it more:
Numerous studies have found that women's mate preferences shift according to their menstrual cycle. During peak levels of fertility, they prefer more masculine and socially dominant men. In the literature these men are known as "cads." Indeed, they tend to be sexy, with their narrow eyes and strong jaws — but they also tend to be flashy and exploitative of others. Even worse, these masculine men often embody the Dark Triad, a personality constellation that encompasses Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism. Typically, these men offer only short-term prospects.
By contrast, during less fertile phases women are drawn to more feminine and compassionate men. These men are referred to as "dads." They tend to be more reliable, warm, and faithful than their caddish counterparts. They also offer greater prospects for a long-term relationship.
Many modern men who discover evolutionary psychology become obsessed with this theory, because one of the premises it posits is that women, especially in the days before science allowed for paternity tests, have a strong desire to get pregnant by cads because they often provide better genes, and then to marry cads, because they are more loyal and more freely giving with their resources. That way they get the best of both worlds, hot sex and good genes for their offspring from the cad, and resources, companionship, and a stable father figure for their kids from the dad. Some proponents of this theory even posit that the cads and dads theory is responsible for much paternity fraud throughout history. The watered-down, everday version of this theory is the "nice guys" and "bad boys" theory, which I assume everyone with a pulse already understands.
In this movie, Nicholson plays the type of character one would typically view as a cad, while Garfunkel plays the type of character one would typically view as a dad. We get to see how these roles affect their interactions with women over the decades.
The movie was written by the brilliant Jules Feiffer, a great thinker, cartoonist, and essayist. You may know some of Feiffer's work in an extremely indirect way. The highly regarded observation about Superman and Clark Kent from Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill, Vol. 2" is pretty much directly lifted from Jules Feiffer's out-of-print book of essays about comic books, The Great Comic Book Heroes, a book you may be able to still find at public libraries (I managed to read a copy at the NY Public Library myself. Highly recommended). If you found that speech to be thought-provoking and insightful, you should definitely watch the movie, as he makes many poignant insights into the nature of relationships throughout, and there's a final speech from Rita Moreno to Jack Nicholson that is absolutely riveting.

Ottawa, Canada's Capital, is the place to be July 1 for the country's biggest annual birthday celebration. It's a giant patriotic party on the lawns of Parliament Hill, Major's Hill Park, Jacques Cartier Park and on the closed streets of downtown.
The crowds start to gather on Parliament Hill early, for a 9 a.m. flag raising ceremony and the Changing of the Guard ceremony, which is followed by the carillon concert featuring the Peace Tower bells, at 10 a.m. Be there at noon for a thrilling performance by the Snowbirds Demonstration team, and a noon hour show filled with cultural entertainment. For families, Jacques Cartier Park will host a variety of activities especially for children ages 3 to 12 including games, physical activities, performances and inflatable slides. For revelers of all ages there will be free activities at most of the area's national museums and institutions.
Excitement continues throughout the day at major sites and attractions downtown and across the Capital. The evening show on Parliament Hill features a stellar lineup of Canadian performers. And as always, the evening will be topped off by a giant fireworks show you simply don't want to miss!
Fast Facts

The day is capped-off with a massive fireworks finale visible from any vantage point downtown. Make sure to get a good spot by 10 p.m., as that's when the fireworks light up the sky! Canada Day 2016 performers include Alex Cuba, Indian City, Metric, Alex Nevsky and Les Hay Babies, to name a few.

Police are investigating the "unexplained" death of a 20-year-old man at this year's V Festival.
The man was pronounced dead after being found in a tent in an unresponsive state at about 1am today at the music event at Weston Park, Staffordshire.
Police said the immediate area had been sealed off for forensic examination, and detailed statements are being taken from his friends.
The immediate family of the man, who was from Shropshire, have been informed of the tragedy, but police will not release his name until other relatives have been informed and formal identification has taken place.
A police spokesman said: "At this stage the death is being treated as unexplained and police are keen to speak to anyone else at the V Festival who may have information or may have seen the male during the evening."
Chief Inspector Carl Ratcliffe, who was in command of the Staffordshire Police operation at the site overnight, said: "We are very saddened by the tragic death of this young man and we are working to establish the full facts and build a picture of his actions in the few hours before his death.
"We will be preparing a report for Her Majesty's coroner who has already been informed about this incident and we are working to support those affected by this incident."
A spokesman for V Festival added: "We are all very saddened by this tragic incident, and we want to extend our deepest sympathies to the family of this young man.
"Our team worked throughout the night to support those affected at the festival site and we want to thank everyone for their cooperation and support during the incident."

Reviewing info on St Francis Xavier I see a very close Southern Hemisphere church person much like I see in Pope Francis. Perhaps someone has a more declared reason/purpose for Pope Francis's choice.


text: This is me in 1970 sitting on my used, 1969, Honda Mini Trail 50 that my Dad purchased for me at the Honda Corral in Wintersville, Ohio. I loved this bike and I rode it everywhere all the time. In the winter, I even bought pieces of dog chain to put through the holes in the rims so I had better traction for hill climbing in the snow. My Dad got tired of welding the frame from all of the jumping, so we traded it in on a new red Honda Mini Trail 50. I never got to race either of these bikes, though. My first race was in 1974 in Kilgore, Ohio riding a 1973 Honda XR75. I got third and a busted lip! Notice my big riding goggles. They are Marquette welding goggles from our family store, Carson Auto Parts.

Top 10 Crossovers with the Most Third-Row Legroom
3. 2013 Mazda CX-9 – 32.4 Inches
Today's third-place finisher is the Mazda CX-9, and 32.4 is the magic number. That's how much space engineers budgeted to the extremities of third-row passengers. Curiously, the headroom back there is worst in this comparison at just 35.4 inches.
Despite this deficiency the Mazda excels in other areas. Total cargo space is 100.7 cubic feet, the second best here. Space behind the third row is also impressive at 17.2 cubes.

First Day...Danville, VA
Today I started my first day with my first set!...
On to the Next One!!! 2nd Tray!! :)
Tonight I've decided to put my second tray in and deal with the tightness and soreness while I sleep for a few hours. I'm really excited!! Learning from my first tray, I filed down any sharp edges so that they could fit in my mouth slightly comfortable because I do expect I'll need to file them again once they loosen up a little. I took some pictures of what my teeth looked like prior to put the trays in and I'm really excited. Just by looking at the second liner, I noticed that my bottom with "should" move the spacing in dramatically with very minimum spacing. I expect my bottom teeth to correct prior to my biggest opportunity, my front four teeth :( It doesn't matter because I'm excited with the results in the first tray. I know the shifting will hurt but I'm hoping I'll be more tolerant to the pain since I'm on my second tray. Thus far I haven't died from the pain because I've been popping liquid gel pain killers to act quickly. It works!
I have my next appointment after tray two and I do have some concerns and questions... I read that some people develop more spacing in their teeth during treatment than when they first began treatment. I hope that this isn't too noticeable for me because I want to correct the horrible spacing I have and not have more spacing than I began with. Also, I noticed that some people were prescribed to change their trays after five days? Why is that? If the teeth does the shifting in the first five days, why do I need to wear my liners for 2-3 weeks? After my first week, I noticed that my liners were becoming more loose and they were nothing to pop them in and out. I didn't feel that they were really doing anything for me beyond that. I'm just going to do as I'm told until I get direction that I can change them sooner.
Another thing I noticed was that my four front teeth haven't had any change in the spacing. I definitely feel my overbite coming in just as much as my underbite. The worst feeling is that my two right front teeth hurt the most when I put my liner in. I don't have any crowding but I can tell that it's difficult to put the liner on that side because it' may be slightly crooked. It makes me feel like my teeth are going to break out of the roots! It's so painful.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the treatment progress. In two weeks I'll be getting my attachments so I'll get the full experience! I'll keep you posted and will post pictures soon!
3rd Tray With Attachments
So I'm nearly a week into my third tray and I'm really excited. I didn't expect many changes in my first two trays but the results have been unreal! With this tray, I was able to get my attachments/bumpers put on. My orthodontist team is so amazing because I couldn't even see them when they were first applied. The neat thing is that the attachments for my four front teeth are on the inside of my mouth so they aren't seen when I smile. The other attachments are barely visible. I don't feel so odd with the attachments as I thought I did.
Barely being a week into this third tray, today I've felt a slight pain coming from the inside of my gum line near one of my front attachments. Does the liner cause the attachments to shift with my teeth? I don't think that's possible but something has definitely shifted. I feel my attachment pushed up towards my gum line and it hurts so bad. I had to take my liner out just to not have my gums bleed. I feel that I might have done something when I was flossing. Although this is a minor setback, I was able to text Dr. Jones at 9pm and let him know what was going on. He's super awesome and will allow me to come to the office tomorrow morning for correction. Thank God I don't have to be in pain too long :)
So overall I'm loving my treatment and this awesome team. My journey has been awesome and I'm so happy that I get to document my progress here. I've gotten tons of compliments on the progress this far. I'm even more excited about how my spacing is closing so quickly. Additionally, both my overbite and underbite have been brought in tremendously. My bite has definitely changed. My snoring is even more minimum which allows me to sleep better. Before my teeth would cause me to sleep with an open mouth and now I notice it.
I just started my 4th tray and pretty much have...
I just started my 4th tray and pretty much have fallen behind on treatment for nearly one month. I had to go back to my 3rd tray because the 4th was way too tight. I guess my teeth began to shift while I had my trays out too long. It's my own fault but now I'm back on track!
So for my last orthodontist appointment I saw Dr. Deshon and she was awesome. It was my first time meeting her and I was very pleased with the exam. I found out the reason why two of my front teeth caused so much pain was because they slightly overlapped and it was difficult for the liner go "glide" between the teeth. Since the beginning of the treatment, I have felt more pain from those two teeth than in any other area of my mouth. Dr. Deshon used what appeared to be a light sand paper but said it was diamond paper. She used it to slightly file my tooth down just enough to wear I could floss without much effort. When she put my fourth tray in, it was immediate relief of those two teeth. It was a perfect fit! Although the trays suggest 2 weeks of wear, I've decided to go three weeks because I want to make sure I'm not rushing the process. Also this allows my bone structure to not be as stressed. The last two trays have really focused on closing my overbite and underbite. I can definitely see the difference in my bite. My spacing is still coming together so I'm excited. I may not have as long of a treatment if I continue to get this fast results.
Back At It...
So, shame on me for not wearing my liners for nearly a month. Some how or another, I took my liners out because I had gotten a massive infection and inflammation on my gums. I think the liners were irritating my gums while having allergy drainage. Has anyone had this happen? Tonight I picked back up and put in my sixth liner to continue my process. I guess I'm not going to push the process and just make sure I complete the process. I find it more difficult to wear them during the day so I've decided to wear them evenings and overnight. I know this isn't recommended but this is the luxury of having liners versus braces :)
Love them both!

Stephen Maguire's family home is a former council flat in Wandsworth. It's not exactly a palace, but thanks to the right-to-buy, it is helping fund his move to the country. Along with many other former council tenants, Maguire has not sold the house his mother bought four years ago (at a £30,000 discount on the market price), but has done it up and is renting it out at £1,360 a month through Chesterton. This is helping him to buy a house near Harrogate, where he is being sent by his bathroom company. "It was our family home for 20 years. My mother bought it for £98,000 and when she moved to Ireland to be close to our relatives, I refurbished it throughout."
All the best advice on decorating a place for letting was followed. "I was aiming for a contemporary, minimalist look," he says. "It has white walls, laminated wood floors and high-spec kitchen and bathroom." The result is an investment yielding 16 per cent. Even if the Maguires had paid the full price for the flat, the return would have been a very acceptable 12 per cent. "It goes a long way to financing my house [in Harrogate]," he says.
For Anne Cain, her old council flat in Battersea is her pension fund, and as someone in the up-and-down business of selling dolls' houses by mail order and on the internet, she regards it as an essential part of saving for the future. Cain bought the one-bedroom flat from the original tenant for £57,000 in 1990, and lived in it with her husband Dan for the first eight years. Then their first baby arrived, and with it thoughts of country life. "We had to get a bigger place, but we kept the flat on to help pay for it," she explains. "We did the place up cosmetically to let it, and it has worked brilliantly. Tenants have stayed for years, and have left it tidier than we did when we moved out."
This is in large part because the Cains made the effort. "We have been good landlords. Whenever there was a problem we have tried to help as quickly as possible and we have never put up the rent as long as it covers the mortgage."
The capital appreciation means the flat is now worth a substantial sum, which she does not want to sell for fear it will leak away. "I see it as a nest egg," she says.
The good returns sometimes obtainable on former council properties were highlighted recently, when it was discovered that the value of flats in a dreary block in Edinburgh had soared by six or seven times in less than a year, because of the construction of the Scottish Parliament building nearby. One owner had bought their flat for £11,000 a few years back and was confidently expecting the value to reach £250,000 as speculators moved in.
Ian Dickson of Winkworth in Hammersmith says former local authority flats are often a better deal than new apartments. "Buying an ex-council flat as a buy-to-let investment could prove a financially sound decision because they can be significantly cheaper than other purpose-built or conversion flats."
As ever, location is paramount. "Properties that are situated in small blocks often have greater letting potential then those on the large council estates," he advises. "The target market for ex-council properties is among young professionals, so when purchasing a property you should look for a location that has good transport and leisure facilities nearby."
However, flats on large estates can also be a good buy if it is convenient for a large college. "As a basic guide the larger the block the younger the tenants, until the property shifts from attracting young professionals to students," Dickson says.

Some people have cats as pets. Others prefer dogs. There's even some who gravitate towards more unusual companions, such as snakes, ferrets or mice.
Then there's Kyle Page, the Wollongong man who took pet ownership to the next level by housing a 1.5-metre crocodile in a mate's shed at Dapto.
The rogue reptile was found during a police search of the Hamilton Road property.
However, officers didn't have to look hard to make their catch, with the home's occupier offering up its whereabouts rather quickly.
"There's a crocodile in the back shed," the man said when asked if there was anything he wanted to declare.
"It's not mine. I think you know whose it is."
Officers located the croc in a tank, surrounded by a cage.
The man told police the animal had been in the garage for about three months, and Page came and looked after it intermittently.
Page was charged with possessing protected fauna under the National Parks and Wildlife Act.
In Port Kembla Court on Thursday, Page's lawyer, Aaron Kernaghan, said the case was not especially serious considering the circumstances and Page should not be sent to jail.
Magistrate Michael Stoddart agreed Page didn't deserve to go to jail, but said the offence was serious and fined him $2000.
Outside court, Mr Kernaghan said he hoped the case would be a warning to others who might think of taking up crocodile wrangling.
"It's a grave thing to do, keeping a descendant of dinosaurs in one's backyard - it's probably a very difficult thing to do," he said.
"As much as it might be an almost Jurassic achievement, it's completely illegal and of course, something to be avoided, if only for one's own safety - if not any other reason."
The crocodile has since been relocated to Nowra Zoo.

A comprehensive survey of copy number variation in 18 diverse pig populations and identification of candidate copy number variable genes associated with complex traits
Non-human and non-rodent vertebrate genomics
Copy number variation (CNV) is a major source of structural variants and has been commonly identified in mammalian genome. It is associated with gene expression and may present a major genetic component of phenotypic diversity. Unlike many other mammalian genomes where CNVs have been well annotated, studies of porcine CNV in diverse breeds are still limited.
Here we used Porcine SNP60 BeadChip and PennCNV algorithm to identify 1,315 putative CNVs belonging to 565 CNV regions (CNVRs) in 1,693 pigs from 18 diverse populations. Total 538 out of 683 CNVs identified in a White Duroc × Erhualian F2 population fit Mendelian transmission and 6 out of 7 randomly selected CNVRs were confirmed by quantitative real time PCR. CNVRs were non-randomly distributed in the pig genome. Several CNV hotspots were found on pig chromosomes 6, 11, 13, 14 and 17. CNV numbers differ greatly among different pig populations. The Duroc pigs were identified to have the most number of CNVs per individual. Among 1,765 transcripts located within the CNVRs, 634 genes have been reported to be copy number variable genes in the human genome. By integrating analysis of QTL mapping, CNVRs and the description of phenotypes in knockout mice, we identified 7 copy number variable genes as candidate genes for phenotypes related to carcass length, backfat thickness, abdominal fat weight, length of scapular, intermuscle fat content of logissimus muscle, body weight at 240 day, glycolytic potential of logissimus muscle, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume and humerus diameter.
We revealed the distribution of the unprecedented number of 565 CNVRs in pig genome and investigated copy number variable genes as the possible candidate genes for phenotypic traits. These findings give novel insights into porcine CNVs and provide resources to facilitate the identification of trait-related CNVs.
Copy number variation (CNV), a major type of structural variants, is defined as DNA segments that vary from one kilobase to several megabases in length and present at variable copy numbers in comparison with a reference genome
Tilling oligonucleotide array and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) array have been commonly used to detect whole-genome CNVs. In recent years, whole-genome SNP genotyping arrays offer alternative methods for CNV detection
CNVs have been commonly identified in humans, rats, dogs, cattle and horse, and occupy about 3.7%, 1.4%, 4.2%, 4.6% and 3.6% of their assembled genome, respectively
Until now, to our knowledge, there are only three studies on pig CNV discovery. Fadista
We herein used Porcine SNP60 BeadChip and PennCNV algorithm to identify porcine autosomal CNVs in 1,693 animals from 18 populations, and analyzed the CNV distribution in pig genome and different populations. We compared the identified CNVs with the reported porcine CNV call sets and investigated the copy number variable genes. Especially, we used a large scale White Duroc × Erhualian F2 intercross, in which the QTL were mapped for 422 traits
Results and discussion
CNV discovery, distribution and validation
Experimental samples were recruited from 18 pig populations including 10 Chinese indigenous breeds with different geographical origins, 2 Western commercial breeds, 1 wild boar and 5 F2 resource populations (Table
Merging identical CNVs from all animals across breeds yielded 1,315 unique CNVs out of the 2,122 putative CNVs. CNVRs were determined by aggregating overlapping unique CNVs. The 1,315 unique CNVs were clustered into a set of 565 non-redundant CNVRs which encompassed about 143.03-Mb region equaling approximately 5.84% of the pig genome (Figure

CNV-associated genes or copy number variable genes have a wide spectrum of molecular functions and provide a resource for investigating the biological relationship of CNVs with the genetic basis of phenotypic variations. We performed the gene ontology (GO) analysis by querying each copy number variable gene into the records of the GO database

Identification of copy number variable genes as potential candidate genes for complex traits
The potentially disruptive effect of CNVs on gene expression, structure and function indicates that CNVs are likely to contribute to phenotypes. Before this study, a genome-wide QTL mapping for traits of blood parameter
We further chose
Moreover, the result obtained in this study was also consistent with the causative relation between
Although some identified copy number variable genes were not overlapped with our reported QTL, they have been reported to associate with complex traits in pigs, humans or mice. For instance, we detected an 836.67-kb CNV in SSC6: 49,802,217-50,638,891 in the White Duroc × Erhualian resource population. This region contains the alpha-1-fucosyltransferase (
In this study, we revealed the distribution of the unprecedented number of 565 CNVRs in 1,327 pigs from 18 diverse populations, and found that CNVRs were non-randomly distributed in the porcine genome. CNV numbers differ greatly among diverse populations. More than 72.87% of CNVRs were restricted to one population. The main functional categories of CNV-related genes were similar to those of in other mammals. With the QTL mapping data and the identified CNVRs in the White Duroc × Erhualian F2 intercross, and the description of phenotypes in knockout mice, we identified 7 copy number variable genes as potential candidate genes for porcine complex traits. These findings give novel insights into porcine CNVs and provide resources to facilitate the further identification of trait-related CNVs.
A total of 1,693 animals from 18 pig populations including 10 Chinese indigenous breeds, 2 Western commercial breeds, 1 wild boar and 5 F2 resource populations comprising White Duroc × Erhualian, Bamaxiang × Erhualian, Rongchang × Erhualian, Shazilin × Erhualian and Tongcheng × Erhualian were used in this study (Table
Genome-wide SNP genotyping
Genomic DNA was extracted from ear or spleen tissues with the routine phenol/chloroform extraction method. All 1,693 animals were genotyped with Porcine SNP60 BeadChip using the
CNV calling
PennCNV was used to CNV calling. The software integrates a Hidden Markov Model (HMM) for high resolution copy number variation detection with whole-genome SNP genotyping data
To reduce the false discover rate in CNV calling, we used a calling criteria requiring that the standard deviation (SD) of LRR must be under or less 0.35, the CNV contained three or more consecutive SNPs and the length of CNV region must be more than 50 kb at the calling-level. We set the "-qcnumcnv 50" argument in the command line to treat any samples with > 50 CNV calls as low quality samples and eliminated them from analysis. GC model file was used to adjust the signal intensity values for CNV calling. For F2 individuals, the "-trio" argument was employed in CNV calling to make use of the family information. The CNVs whose 50.0% of sequence overlapped with the telomere region and those detected in only one individual and not overlapped with any other discovered CNVs were also removed from analysis. All putative CNVs identified in this study were pooled across breeds. We aggregated the overlapping CNVs identified across all samples to determine CNVRs following the previously published protocols
Quantitative real time PCR
Seven CNVRs were randomly selected for validation by quantitative real time PCR (qPCR). The 2-△△Ct method was used to estimate relative quantification (RQ) of CNVRs
Gene identification and functional classification
Genes within porcine CNVRs were annotated by BioMart
Statistical analysis
Association of the CNV268 with MCH and MCV was analyzed with a mixed linear model. Gender and batch were considered as fixed effects. The QTL for MCH and MCV was re-mapped with the CNV268 as the fixed effect. All the analyses were performed with R package.
