Asian shares mixed as stocks meander on pandemic worries

TOKYO (AP) — Asian shares were mixed Friday as markets meandered on news about economies reopening, mixed with worries about the prolonged health risks from the new coronavirus.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 edged down nearly 0.2% to 19,881.46 in morning trading. South Korea's Kospi fell 0.3% to 1,919.51. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.6% to 5,362.80. Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed nearly 0.3% to 23,767.56, while the Shanghai Composite was little changed at 2,870.69.
"Bright spots in the markets and the economy should not breed complacency about being out of the woods," Riki Ogawa of Mizuho Bank said. "Fact is, even as economies prepare to emerge from varying degrees of lockdown, restoration of 'normalcy' is a much longer road."
Parts of Japan are gradually easing requests for people to stay home and for some businesses to stay closed, while worries deepen over case numbers rising.
The Keidanren, which represents more than 1,000 Japanese companies and regional economic groups, released guidelines for safer work, including instructions on having office workers coming into the office just three days each week to minimize commutes, and adapting workplaces for social distancing.
Overnight, Wall Street rallied back from a sharp morning drop.
The S&P 500 climbed 1.2% to 2,852.20 in another scattershot day of trading, with many stocks flipping from the bottom of the leaderboard to the top following a few sharp reversals in momentum.
Wall Street has been wavering for weeks as it digests gargantuan moves the market made earlier this year, first down more than 30% on worries over the coming recession and then up more than 30% on hopes for a relatively quick rebound.
Trading has been particularly erratic this week, as investors rethink bets that the reopening of economies around the world will allow for a relatively quick return of growth. Another possible flare-up in tensions between the world's largest economies is also hitting markets, with comments from President Donald Trump about China further weighing on them Thursday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.6% to 23,625.34. The Nasdaq composite gained 0.9% to 8,943.72 after erasing its earlier loss of 1.8%.
Thursday's turnaround was powered in large part by a rally for stocks that have been pummeled for much of this year: banks.
Financial stocks in the S&P 500 jumped 2.6% for the biggest gain among the 11 sectors that make up the index. Wells Fargo rose 6.8%, and Bank of America added 4%. Through much of this year, investors have sold bank stocks on worries that low interest rates and the severe recession will mean less profit for making loans.
By the end of trading, more than 75% of stocks in the S&P 500 were higher. In the morning, more than 90% were down.
Before the recession hit, U.S. stocks quickly lost just over a third of their value as investors anticipated an avalanche of layoffs hitting the economy. Those fears have turned out to be true, and a report on Thursday showed that nearly 3 million U.S. workers filed for unemployment benefits. That brings the total to roughly 36 million in the two months since the pandemic caused widespread orders for people to stay at home and businesses to shut down.
But stocks began climbing in late March after massive amounts of aid promised by the Federal Reserve and Capitol Hill convinced markets that the worst-case scenario of a financial crisis wouldn't be happening.
Many professional investors have warned the rally has been overdone, given how much uncertainty exists about how long the recession will last.
Recently, worries about renewed U.S.-China tensions have also weighed on markets. A bruising trade war between the two had dragged on the global economy before the pandemic hit.
"I have a very good relationship," with China's leader, Xi Jinping, Trump said in an interview with Fox Business Network, "but I just — right now, I don't want to speak with him. I don't want to speak with him."
Trump also said the government is considering barring Chinese stocks trading on U.S. exchanges unless they follow U.S. accounting rules.
"We have all the challenges internally with the economy being shut down, but us getting into a conflict with China adds an additional dimension of uncertainty," said Mark Hackett, chief of investment research at Nationwide.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury was steady at 0.62%. It tends to fall when investors are downgrading their expectations for the economy and inflation.
In Asia Friday, U.S. benchmark crude added 4 cents to $27.92 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It jumped $2.20 to $27.88 per barrel on Thursday. Brent, the international standard, added 25 cents to $31.38 a barrel.
The U.S. dollar rose to 107.26 Japanese yen from 107.25 yen. The euro was flat at $1.0805.

Q: Making read-only fields in a Vue observable? I'm exposing a Vue observable that reflects sign-in status:
// auth.js
const user = Vue.observable({
  displayName: '...',
  isSignedIn: null    // Boolean
});

...

export { user };

Though the name is observable, I think anyone importing user can also modify the fields. How could I prevent this?

A: You can freeze the object before make it reactive, like this example below.
const user = Vue.observable(
        Object.freeze({
          displayName: '...',
          isSignedIn: true   // Boolean
        })
      );

The question is why to use this, better to expose a non-reactive object. Check the Vue.observable definition here

Long before it would have occurred to anyone to posit an elaborate conspiracy involving the Trump campaign and the Russian government, the question of what Donald Trump was hiding on his tax returns seemed to be crucial and important to assessing his fitness for the presidency. But that question, like so many others, wound up subsumed by Robert Mueller's criminal investigation.
With the Mueller inquiry now seemingly at an end, the time is right to refocus on the key questions about Trump — questions that are not limited to Russia in scope and that are mostly political rather than prosecutorial in nature.
It's worth remembering how Mueller's investigation came into existence. Back in 2017, Trump's relationship with Russia was the only question that Republicans, who controlled Congress, wanted to investigate.
Since he's taken office, the list of questions worthy of investigation has only grown. There's his family members' weird security clearances, reporting that a group of Mar-a-Lago club members appear to be running the Veterans Administration, and the prosecution of Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen, which seems to have implicated Trump personally in a crime.
The problem with all of this has been that Republicans didn't and don't care. It was not until Nancy Pelosi took over as speaker of the House this January that there was anything Democrats could do to take on these questions without Republican help.
Democrats got behind Mueller's investigation because it was the only game in town, not because it seemed incredibly promising. It was Trump's abrupt decision to fire FBI Director James Comey, followed by months of incredibly guilty-sounding tweets and other statements from the White House, that led many of us to believe Mueller was likely to uncover something big.
Over time, the legend of the Mueller investigation grew to the point where many Trump haters began to put more hopes on the special counsel and his team than their mandate actually supported. To "bring down Trump" is fundamentally the task of opposition politics, and all indications are that this never became the kind of meandering investigation (was there Iranian money laundering behind Trump Tower Baku?) that could have painted a broad negative portrait of Trump and his operation.
Democrats took control of the House in January 2019 and could have begun to conduct appropriate investigations of a president in congressional committees and centered on the critical political question of Trump's fitness for office. But by then, Mueller had become too big. He dominated the headlines and served as an excuse for Democrats to stand down on holding Trump accountable.
Now that Mueller's done, there are no more excuses. It's time to make investigating the president great again, and getting to the bottom of the tax return mystery is an ideal place to start.
Other avenues of investigation into allegations that Trump is a sexual predator or a fraud or a tax cheat or an all-around crook were of less interest to Republicans, so they were not pursued.
Trump opponents would convince themselves from time to time that Mueller was pursuing them, but as best we can tell, that's not the case.
The sheer ferocity of Trump's generally nonsensical attacks on Mueller — a lifelong Republican and veteran law enforcement professional — tended to lend credence to the notion that either he was guilty of something incredibly damning related to Russia or Mueller was leading a wide-ranging effort to bring Trump down.
There was, of course, ample precedent for this in the form of Ken Starr's wildly unethical investigation during the Bill Clinton years that was originally supposed to be about the Whitewater land deal in Arkansas. Starr never came close to showing that Clinton did anything wrong related to that deal. But his office — staffed with partisan Republican hotshots like Brett Kavanaugh — became an all-purpose clearinghouse for Clinton investigations. They looked into everything under the sun. They leaked information, selectively, to the press and to Congress. Their aim was to bring down Clinton by any means within the law, not to produce a thorough report about a land deal.
Mueller wasn't just rummaging through Trump's finances to try to dig up dirt, bring Trump down, avenge his friend James Comey, and demonstrate that you don't mess with the FBI. Instead, he seems to have looked pretty narrowly at whether Trump's campaign was involved in some kind of criminal conspiracy with Russian military intelligence. And, according to Attorney General William Barr at least, he's concluded that they didn't.
It's probably good that Mueller, unlike Starr, did his job in an ethical manner. But at the end of the day, there was never any way to bring Trump down with an investigation of this sort. Democrats are lucky to have it behind them. They are better off controlling their own destiny in the political arena.
As this particular moment recedes in time, the significance of the legal conspiracy question surrounding Trump and Russia is bound to fade.
Looking back broadly, there is no question that Trump behaved inappropriately with regard to Russian hacking. He welcomed it at the time, publicly. And then he tried, again publicly, multiple times to cover or apologize for it after the fact. He also, despite the best efforts of most of his administration, seems to keep hinting around that he wants to throw NATO in the trash can and hand Russia a massive diplomatic victory for no reason. For this to come in the context of members of his campaign conspiring in a legally actionable way with the hackers would have been egregious, but even without lawbreaking, none of it speaks well of Trump.
The problem, as CNN polling guru Harry Enten points out, is that for all the airtime the Russia story has occupied, all the evidence suggests "it doesn't matter to voters." It's a story that a certain swath of the Trump-hating population is really into, but it doesn't move the needle with people who feel they have some reason to like Trump.
The issue that came up, in all honesty, as a writer on elections was that Russia kept popping up in the news… and all I could say was "it doesn't matter to voters". Outside of the Comey firing, anything related to Russia didn't move the numbers.
And if you step back and think about it, that's not too surprising. Russia policy, the fate of Crimea, and the US security commitment to the Baltic states doesn't sound like the kind of stuff swing voters would be interested in.
It's easy to imagine evidence that Trump is a fraud who exploits working people, a tax cheat, or on the take from the Saudi government doing more to swing voters. Interestingly, experimental evidence suggests that something as simple as pointing out that Trump inherited his wealth rather than being a self-made man alters voters' perceptions of him a great deal. It's obviously not a crime to have inherited money from your dad (though a New York Times investigation suggests that Fred Trump did break the law to help Donald dodge taxes), but the circumstances under which Trump came to be so rich is evidently something that matters to people. In particular, it's an area in which you can imagine changing a Trump fan's mind on the specific issue might change his mind about Trump.
This kind of thing — attempting to bring to light true information that reflects poorly on the incumbent president — is a job for Congress, not federal prosecutors. The hope that Mueller would do it anyway wasn't entirely outlandish, but it apparently didn't happen, and that's likely for the best. But for political purposes, the crucial thing continues to be getting a full portrait of Trump's finances. Perhaps because there's something illegal in there, but more likely and more importantly because understanding who is paying Trump and why is important to understanding his actual policymaking around issues that matter.
Now the baton passes to the appropriate people, and it's time for them to run the race.

Q: Parse JSON with unknown attributes names into a Case Class I have the following JSON file to be parsed into a case class:
{
    "root": {
        "nodes": [{
                "id": "1",
                "attributes": {
                    "name": "Node 1",
                    "size": "3"
                }
            },
            {
                "id": "2",
                "attributes": {
                    "value": "4",
                    "name": "Node 2"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}

The problem is that the attributes could have any value inside it: name, size, value, anything ...
At this moment I have defined my case classes:
case class Attributes(
  name: String,
  size: String,
  value: Sting
)
case class Nodes(
  id: String,
  attributes: Attributes
)
case class Root(
  nodes: List[Nodes]
)
case class R00tJsonObject(
  root: Root
)

Whats is the best way to deal with this scenario when I can receive any attribute ?
Currently I am using Json4s to handle son files.
Thanks!

A: Your attributes are arbitrarily many and differently named, but it seems you can store them in a Map[String, String] (at least, if those examples are anything to go by). In this case, using circe-parser (https://circe.github.io/circe/parsing.html), you could simply use code along these lines in order to convert your JSON directly into a simple case-class:
import io.circe._, io.circe.parser._
import io.circe.generic.semiauto._

case class Node(id: String, attributes: Map[String,String])
case class Root(nodes: List[Node])

implicit val nodeDecoder: Decoder[Node] = deriveDecoder[Node]
implicit val nodeEncoder: Encoder[Node] = deriveEncoder[Node]

implicit val rootDecoder: Decoder[Root] = deriveDecoder[Root]
implicit val rootEncoder: Encoder[Root] = deriveEncoder[Root]

def myParse(jsonString: String) = {
  val res = parse(jsonString) match {
    case Right(json) => {
      val cursor = json.hcursor
      cursor.get[Root]("root")
    }
    case _ => Left("Wrong JSON!")
  }
  println(res)
}

This snippet will print
Right(Root(List(Node(1,Map(name -> Node 1, size -> 3)), Node(2,Map(value -> 4, name -> Node 2)))))

on the console, for the JSON, you've given. (Assuming, the solution doesn't have to be in Json4s.)

Q: Spark left outer join when left side key is Option[] I have
val rdd1 :  RDD[(Option[String], (String, Option[Context]))]

and
val rdd2 : RDD[(String,Double)]

Now, I would like to rdd1.leftOuterJoin(rdd2) but of course I can't because Option[String] is different than String.
The rationale for the join operation is that in case rdd1's key contains some value, I would like to have an additional info on it. The desired output is of type: RDD[(Options[String],((String, Option[Context]),Option[Double]))
What's the bypass?

A: You can simply map rdd2 to RDD[(Option[String], Double)]:
rdd1.leftOuterJoin(rdd2.map{case (k, v) => (Option(k), v)})

If Context can be expressed using Spark SQL types then you can simply convert both RDDs to DataFrames and join. None are mapped to NULLs so everything should work as expected.

College Baseball: Iowa Takes Down No. 18 Arizona
SAN DIEGO — The University of Iowa baseball team bounced back in the second game of the Tony Gwynn Legacy Tournament, downing No. 18 Arizona, 4-1, on Saturday afternoon at Fowler Park behind a strong pitching performance from senior Grant Judkins.
"I'm happy and proud of our team," head coach Rick Heller said. "We showed a lot of toughness today with a quick turnaround. We played hard with good energy. We had a tremendous start from Grant today and we beat a good team with some big-time hitters."
Judkins (2-0), a right-hander from Pella, Iowa, had his repertoire of pitches working from the get-go, allowing only two hits over six scoreless innings to earn the win. His only hits allowed were a bloop single to left field and a bunt single down the third base line.
Judkins retired the final 12 batters he faced, and that set the tone for Iowa's offense.
The Hawkeyes scored two runs in the second and third innings, with four of their eight hits coming in those frames.
In the second inning, freshman Peyton Williams started the scoring with his first career home run to deep right center field. His two-run shot gave the Hawkeyes a 2-0 lead.
Iowa added on in the following inning. Junior Izaya Fullard walked and senior Austin Martin singled to start the inning, and Fullard came around to score on an RBI-single by senior Zeb Adreon. Martin scored on an RBI-groundout to extend Iowa's lead to 4-0 after three.
Arizona scored its only run in the seventh inning after Iowa went to its bullpen. Junior left-hander Trenton Wallace struck out the first batter he faced, but loaded the bases after a single and two walks.
Junior Dylan Nedved relieved Wallace for the final two outs of the inning. He induced a ground ball that scored a run, followed by a line out to end the inning. Nedved worked a clean eighth with two strikeouts before handing the ball over to closer Grant Leonard.
Leonard needed only eight pitches to earn his second save of the season and 18th of his career to close out Iowa's 4-1 win.
Today was Iowa's first win over a ranked opponent. The Hawkeyes went 10-3 against top-30 teams last season.
Iowa pitchers limited Arizona to 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
Judkins is 2-0 with a 1.64 ERA and 12 strikeouts to only two walks in two starts this season.
Leonard's 18th career save moves him into sole possession of fourth place on Iowa's career saves list.
Williams went 2-for-3 — his second career multi-hit game — and stole his first career base on a delayed steal.
Martin tallied his second multi-hit game of the season on a 2-for-4 day with one double.
Senior and California native Matthew Sosa recorded his first multi-hit game of the season, finishing 2-for-4.
Iowa concludes the Tony Gwynn Legacy Tournament on Sunday, facing San Diego at 4 p.m. (CT) at Fowler Park.

Imagine playing the Old Course at St. Andrew's, Pebble Beach and Pinehurst No. 2 all in the same day - and being home in time for dinner.
You can do it if you play the golf simulator at the Willows at Worcester, a retirement community for active seniors scheduled to open this week at 101 Barry Road.
The $54,000 simulator from Full Swing Golf recreates the experience of golfing on 30 championship courses. It's the same simulator Tiger Woods and Entourage star Kevin Dillon use.
"It's as real as you can get without actually playing on a real course," Willows at Worcester executive director Andrew Freilich said.
Jeff Robinson, one of the owners of the Willows at Worcester, suggested purchasing a golf simulator because he's a big fan of the sport. His father, William Robinson, designed such golf courses as Farm Neck Golf Club, where President Barack Obama played last week while vacationing on Martha's Vineyard, Hyannis Golf Club and Stow Acres North.
Inside a room 15 feet wide by 26 feet long, golfers hit balls - Titleist Pro Vs, of course - off a mat into a high-definition screen 12 feet wide by 10 feet high.
The simulator shows the trajectory and distance of each shot and lists the remaining yardage. Laser beams pick up the flight, speed and spin of each shot hitting the screen and continues them electronically onto the fairway, into the woods, or deep in the bunker, depending on your swing.
After hitting your drive, you can use a high-definition flyover to show you the hole from above. But be careful - it can make you dizzy.
You can pick weather conditions, time of day, even birds chirping in the background.
You can choose to play the 18th hole at Pebble Beach in the rain with a stiff wind - the way it often plays in real life. But don't worry - the rain falls only on the screen, not in the room.
"Unless you hit the overhead sprinkler head," Freilich joked.
The mat has thicker areas to simulate rough and bunkers. And the simulator makes sure the rough is tough.
"It's nice to keep your game sharp if you don't have time to go out and play 18 holes," said Freilich, a 9.3 handicap. "You can play two holes, three holes. It even has a driving range function."
Local golf pro Jim Fenner provides instruction.
"We encourage people who are interested in our community to come and use it," Freilich said.
Scott Hickey was shocked when Terry O'Hara called him to tell him he was leaving as director of golf at Cyprian Keyes GC to take the same position at Longboat Key Club in Sarasota, Fla.
"I never would have imagined Terry leaving the area," Hickey said. "He seemed like a such homebody to me."
Hickey was even more surprised when Cyprian owner Bob Frem and general manager Dave Frem offered him O'Hara's old job - surprised and thrilled.
Hickey, 36, will resign as head pro at Norton Country Club to take over at Cyprian on Sept. 8. O'Hara, a Worcester native who worked at Cyprian since it opened 12 years ago, will leave the club tomorrow.
"It's an unbelievable opportunity," Hickey said.
Hickey worked under O'Hara at Cyprian as an assistant pro in 1999 and as head pro from 2000-2003 before becoming head pro at Brook Meadow in Canton in 2004. The following year, Hickey returned to Norton, where he had been an assistant for five years prior to coming to Cyprian.
Cyprian's range and teaching center will allow Hickey to resume teaching. Norton doesn't have a range. He's looking forward to working for the Frems again.
"They're great people," Hickey said. "They love golf. It's their little baby and it seems to me from the inside looking in and from the outside looking in, they always do the right things to generate interest in golf through kids, through adults, through couples, through lessons. It's always fun to work for people like them."
Cyprian's hiring of Hickey will mean that the director of golf at both golf courses in Boylston attended Boston College at the same time.
"I hope the Holy Cross people aren't too upset," Hickey joked.
Hickey graduated from BC in 1994 and played for the college's golf team for a year. Mount Pleasant's Matt Walsh, also 36, pitched for BC and would have graduated in 1994 as well, but signed with the Oakland A's after his junior year. Walsh eventually graduated in 1997.
Hickey and Walsh didn't know each other in college and don't know each other well now, but Walsh suggested they should play one another for a trophy called the Eagle Cup.
Hickey thinks owning his own pro shop at Norton and gaining experience with budgets prepared him to take over at Cyprian.
Hickey grew up in Dedham and golfed at Xaverian Brothers High.
"I wasn't any good at all," Hickey said, "maybe the sixth man on an eight-man team."
Hickey improved his game enough to finish in the top 10 at the 2001 NEPGA Championship to qualify for the following year's national club pro tournament on Kiawah Island, S.C.
Hickey grew to love golf by working summers in the bag room and pro shop at Spring Valley CC in Sharon.
Hickey, who is single, plans to commute from Walpole until he finds a place closer to Cyprian.
When the 10th annual Pleasant Valley Labor Day Amateur Invitational Four-Ball is held next weekend, golfers will be wondering the same thing they have for years: Can anyone dethrone Frank Vana Jr. of Marlboro CC and R.J. Foley of Sterling National?
Vana and Foley will seek their fourth consecutive championship and fifth overall at Pleasant Valley CC. Vana has enjoyed another strong summer of golf, finishing second in the Mass. Amateur last month and tying for fourth in the Tarlow Invitational at Thorny Lea in Brockton last week. Foley placed 10th in the Tarlow and the next day shot a 2-over-par 72 in his first trip to Elmcrest in East Longmeadow to qualify for the Mass. Mid-Amateur next month. Vana, seven-time winner of the Mass. Mid-Amateur, is exempt.
Their length off the tee usually pays off over PV's par-72, 6,864-yard layout.
"The way we look at it, par is really 68," Foley said, "because between the two of us, we feel we should be at least putting for eagle on those par 5s up there. I guess the goal is to shoot 6 or 7 under each day."
The biggest challenge could come from Brendan and Kevin Hester, champions in 2002 and 2005. Brendan is PV's reigning club champion.
Brian Bardier of Putnam, Conn., and E.J. Wholey of Chepachet, R.I., should be in the hunt. Bardier teamed with Dave Jones of Norwich, Conn., to win the Walter Cosgrove Worcester County Four-Ball at Green Hill for the second time last year.
Jeff Johnson, PV's club champ last year, will team with Ray Androlewicz of Webster-Dudley. The Falcucci twins, Dan and Dave of Cyprian Keyes, and Sean Noonan of Cyprian Keyes and Steve Larson of Holden Hills, the 2006 Cosgrove champs, are also in the field.
Eighteen teams, two more than last year, will play 18 holes of medal play on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Vana is fleet manager for Foley's Foley Motorsports and they're partners in an apparel business.
"I just do what he tells me," Vana said.
"I don't look at anybody who works for me like I'm the boss," Foley said. "He's a great friend."
Since he won the New England PGA Championship at Worcester CC on Wednesday, Pleasant Valley head pro Paul Parajeckas received more than 100 e-mails of congratulations and his cell phone has rung so often, he has stopped answering it, but he was especially touched when the members of PV's scotch league gave him a standing ovation.
"That's when it really hit me how many people cared," he said. "It's overwhelming."
Bob Dobie, who was head pro at Green Hill Municipal Golf Course when Parajeckas was an assistant there, called from Florida to say that Parajeckas shattered his record as the oldest NEPGA champion. Dobie was 43 when he won. Parajeckas is 59.
Parajeckas' good friend, Champions Tour star Dana Quigley, called to offer his congratulations and said he'd tell Tom Watson about Parajeckas' victory. Watson nearly won the British Open at 59 last month and played a few rounds on the Champions Tour with Parajeckas over the years.
Parajeckas won his first NEPGA Championship after capturing three NEPGA Senior Championships, but playing in his first NEPGA Championship since becoming PV's head pro two years ago, he thinks the timing finally was right for him to win it.
"I wouldn't have won if I wasn't the head pro at Pleasant Valley," he said.
Nick Diranian of Shaker Hills and J.C. Guthrie of Red Tail will defend their title in the 57th annual Holden Hills Labor Day Four-Ball.
The 56 teams will play for seeding on Friday. Match play begins on Saturday and concludes with the semifinals and finals on Monday.
Bob Cleary, 82, of Spencer shot his age for the first time during the Quota League at Leicester Country Club on Tuesday. Cleary two-putted for par on 18 to finish with an 82, but didn't realize he shot his age until he added up his score after the round.
Cleary, the retired treasurer for the town of Leicester, spends his winters golfing in Boynton Beach, Fla.
The Country Club in Brookline has been selected by the U.S. Golf Association as site of the 2013 U.S. Amateur Championship. The tournament will be Aug. 19-25.
The Country Club's hosting of the U.S. Amateur will coincide with the centennial of Francis Ouimet's victory at the 1913 U.S. Open championship.

Border for the break
There are many reasons to visit the Forest of Dean on the English-Welsh border, but we might have just found one of the best reasons to stay the night
The Tudor Farmhouse Hotel & Restaurant has a modest name, modest prices (rooms with a full breakfast start at under £100 a night), and is tucked modestly away next to the pub on the High Street of a picturesque Gloucestershire village just before the Welsh border.
We reached Clearwell at the very moment in our journey from Kent by campervan when the drive started to lose that holiday feeling. Set to visit the nearby Green Man Festival the following day, we wanted a little comfort to give us the necessary strength required for the five nights in a field in the Brecon Beacons that lay before us.
There are plenty of things to see and do near Clearwell, should you plan on more than one night's stay, with a castle, caves, miniature railway, treetop walk and other family attractions all hyperlocal to the Tudor Farmhouse. It sits directly on the western edge of the Forest of Dean.
If our visit were a property programme, this would have been our 'wow' moment, when the wooden door of this converted cottage loft opened to reveal our beamed abode
Travel ideas for now: July 2019
You can walk straight on to Offa's Dyke and explore the Wye Valley directly from the hotel, or go on a foraging walk with an expert, arranged by the hotel, to explore the natural harvests available in this very special part of the English-Welsh countryside. But our focus right now was food and lodgings for ourselves and our toddling but tired young son.
A walk through to the back of the farmhouse, through a private gate, revealed our room, simply called 'The Loft'. If our visit were a property programme, this would have been our 'wow' moment, when the wooden door of this converted cottage loft opened to reveal our beamed abode, graced with soft white walls and bathed in the evening sunlight.
The Loft is a large suite, tastefully decorated with sisal flooring and muted fabrics, a big bed and comfortable living area with a sofa and TV. Four large skylights naturally light the room in daytime, while pictures of woodland and fresh plants compliment the natural surroundings. The opening of two panelled and frosted glass doors revealed The Loft's star attraction - a huge wooden-floored bathroom, with a roll-top claw-footed bath and one of the biggest walk-in showers I've ever seen.
The colours are from a Farrow & Ball palette, except for the gleaming white bath and shining chrome fittings. It's not the sort of thing you expect to find in a village hotel, but it's more than welcome, and despite the grandeur, it feels smart and fun rather than formal. Weddings are regularly held at the local castle, and this would more than suffice as a honeymoon suite for most newlyweds.
The smaller rooms offer an equal level of sophistication, albeit in smaller doses, and there a cottage below The Loft, which houses a double-suite.
Dinner at the restaurant was inventive and the food is locally sourced, though it would have been a nice touch to highlight this dish by dish: only the asparagus was pointed out as a product of the Wye Valley. The service was more informal than the prices would suggest (around £40 a head for food), but there is no shortage of innovation and ambition on the menu, were all ingredients fresh and tasty.
As for accommodating our young boy, the staff couldn't have been more helpful. The cot was in place, and a monitor provided so we could eat dinner while he slept. In the morning, after visiting the Tudor Farmhouse's resident chickens, we all ate a sensational cooked breakfast that set us up for our festival days ahead.
Owners Hari and Colin Fell have triumphed with their transformation of the Tudor Farmhouse, striking the right balance between cosy countryside comforts and stylish elegance. It's modern without trying too hard, and makes the most of its setting and location. Whether you plan to stay in the area to explore the countryside and its attractions or are heading further west into Wales, you won't find a better example of an English village hotel punching above its weight than this.
The Tudor Farmhouse Hotel & Restaurant, Clearwell, Royal Forest of Dean, GL16 8JS. Double rooms, including breakfast, from £95 per night. The Loft from £190. Dinner with wine around £100 for two. For more details visit www.tudorfarmhousehotel.co.uk or call 01594 833046

Always test furniture fully before you buy it. Online shopping doesn't give you this ability, of course, leaving you with pieces you don't like. The couch might not feel good to the touch and the cushions might be a bit too firm for your liking. It's smart to buy when you know how you feel about it.
If you are purchasing a recliner, give it a test run at the store. Neglecting to check this and finding out it doesn't work at home is a common problem. It is hard to replace pieces at some furniture stores.
When making a furniture purchase, give the legs a thorough inspection. You want to ensure that they are well constructed and joined properly to the frame. Wooden legs are more durable than rubber, metal or plastic, which can easily scratch flooring. The legs should not just simply be nailed onto the bottoms of the piece; they need to be secured to the frame.
The fabric on any piece you're going to buy should be well aligned. On some cheaper pieces of furniture, different sections of fabric might not line up properly. If you're spending a lot of money, the fabric should be perfectly aligned. Pick another sofa if the tailoring isn't looking good.
Be sure you're working with a budget when you're shopping for furniture. Even if you are only buying a single item, the prices can vary from store to store. You can end up spending much more than you can afford if you do not go in with a plan. You won't go overboard if you know your limit.
When buying furniture, be sure to review warranty information. Many times furniture has a limited warranty and does not cover damage you might incur. If you read all warranty facts, you will know whether the damage will be covered.
Be sure that your furniture is comfortable; you're going to be spending a great deal of time using it. After all, a third of every day is spent in bed and you probably use a couch regularly, so these things need to bring you comfort since it's not good at all to be uncomfortable.
Always look through the drawers on a piece of furniture. Quality construction signs tend to be obvious. Doors should function smoothly without jiggling. When the fit is right, your furniture will last longer. Cheaply-constructed furniture does not fit well and breaks quickly.
If you have information on great places for furniture, you can find wonderful deals. If you aren't prepared, you will overspend. Educating yourself about what to look for and what to avoid is the best way to make sue you get what you want. You are deserving of furniture that looks great but that won't break the bank.
