Here's what you need to know to understand the basics of stocks, asset classes, and risk so you can start learning how to invest.
You likely know you need to save your money. Keeping the cash you make in a safe place, like an account at a bank, can be a critical first step to strengthening your financial future. Once you've saved enough to establish an emergency fund to cover any unexpected expenses and paid down high-interest-rate debts like credit cards, you may be interested in investing.
The stock market is one way to invest your money. You can buy assets — shares in individual companies or shares of mutual funds that hold shares of multiple companies — that hopefully increase in value over time. Because the market is prone to ups and downs, however, it's not a place to save money (although you can hold cash in the market, through a money market account).
You purchase an asset, like a stock, on the market for a certain price. The goal is to eventually sell that stock for more than you bought it for, which provides you with a profit. The difference between what you bought and sold the stock for is your return, minus any taxes you pay, which are called capital gains tax.
News about a particular company: Do they have a new product that's set to take the market by storm?
Estimates of a company's value: What do financial analysts think about the company's future?
A company's earnings: How well is the company performing?
Social or political issues: Are changes in the marketplace or new policies poised to impact the company's operations?
There are countless other factors that influence stock price — and trying to guess if a stock's price is about to rise or fall is a losing game for the average investor. Historically, people aren't very good at guessing what the stock market will do next, and trying to "time" the market by buying or selling at just the right time is considered a poor strategy for the average investor.
What is a stock? It's a portion of ownership in a company. If you hold stock in Apple, for example, you own a percentage of Apple (and are known as a shareholder). Cool, right? The more shares of stock you have, the more of the company you own.
Each stock you own is actually represented by a certificate, but this is something you'll likely never see in the digital age. Everything is done and processed on computers, so physical papers are rarely necessary.
The stock market doesn't just contain individual company stocks that you can buy or sell. There are other types of assets on the market, too, categorized by asset classes.
Asset class Examples What it is?
Equities Stocks A share of a company that you can buy and sell.
Fixed Income Bonds or certificates of deposit (CDs) Essentially, debt: buying something like a bond means you lend money to another entity (like the government) and earn interest on that money.
Cash Money Literally the paper bills in your possession (or in your checking account). You can put cash into a money market account in the stock market.
Real Estate Property Homes, buildings, and other physical structures or land. You can also buy shares in real estate investment trusts (REITs) if you don't want to buy investment property on your own.
Commodities Energy, metals, and agricultural products (including crops and livestock) Like real estate, commodities are literal things or property you can own (and therefore buy, sell, or trade), such as cotton, oil, and gold.
The goal of investing, whether you buy a stock or a different type of asset, is to earn a return by eventually selling your asset at a higher price than you bought it.
But it doesn't always work out that way. All investments come with a degree of risk, generally described as the likelihood that you'll lose money on your investment.
You might buy a share of stock for $10 and when you sell, it's worth $15. You would make a $5 profit on that stock. That's the ideal situation, and the goal of investors who buy assets on the stock market. But you could also buy a share of stock for $10 — and eventually sell it for $5. In this case, you lose $5 on that stock.
Market Risk The chance an asset, like a stock, will decline in value.
Interest Rate Risk The chance that an investment's value will change due to rising or falling interest rates.
Credit Risk The chance that an investment's issuer (like the government who issues a bond) does not live up to its financial obligations (like repaying investors, with interest).
Liquidity Risk The chance that you will be unable to sell an illiquid investment and receive the asset's cash value (i.e., selling a home).
Industry, Economic & Political Risks The chances that a specific industry will experience a downturn, the entire economy as a whole will struggle, or the government will change policies in a way that is unexpected or unfavorable to the market.
All investments carry some degree of risk. None are guaranteed to provide you with a return. That sounds like a big problem, but thankfully, there's a way to manage the risk you take on.
Just like you've been told not to put all your eggs in one basket, if you have all of your money in one type of investment, you may be missing out on the opportunity to enjoy greater returns by diversifying into other investments. And, the best way for average investors to reduce risk is the diversity.
Diversification is spreading your money across various investments, like stocks, bonds, and cash alternatives. There are many types of asset classes inside the stock market — such as company size, geographical market, industry and sector. The more asset classes you invest in, the more opportunity you have to diversify your portfolio.
Whatever you invest in, it's important to understand when you need your invested money to determine how much risk you can realistically take. If you know you'll need access to your invested money in the near future, you should reduce the amount of risk in your portfolio.
Risk will always go hand-in-hand with investing. Successful investors are those who manage that risk wisely.
Risk exists because the value of stocks and other assets change — sometimes constantly throughout the day. Prices drop, but they also rise. All that change is called market volatility.
"Volatility" may sound bad, but it really just describes changes in the market. A rising market where prices go up in value indicates a change, but most investors would agree it's a positive one instead of a negative.
We know that at times, the stock market will rise in value. And we also know there will be times it will drop. Because the ultimate goal is to make money when you sell your assets on the market, the ideal way to invest is selling for more than you bought.
This is also where average investors get into a lot of trouble. Most people simply aren't good at timing the market, or knowing when stock prices will rise and fall.
As a result, average investors tend to buy high and sell low, because they fail to time the market well. They hear about a stock that's seeming to gain momentum in the market and buy in after the price has already increased dramatically. Or after seeing an asset lose a significant amount of value, they sell, hoping to exit before the bottom, only to see the asset eventually rebound. Essentially, they spend a lot of money to buy expensive stock and risk losing that money because they tend to sell when values are low.
Sounds counterintuitive, right? It happens because when stock prices are high, people's confidence is also high. We feel good about the market and where it's headed — and we want to buy in when things are going well.
When stock prices drop, people tend to panic. They want out of what they feel is a bad situation that's only going to get worse. Panic can trigger a selloff, where people are simply trying to dump their stocks to get out of them.
This isn't rational. Remember, due to market volatility, stock prices will drop and they will rise. Historically, the stock market has increased in average value. In the 10-year period between 2007 and 2016, for example, the S&P 500, one measure of the overall market's performance, increased by about 30% despite one of the country's worst ever recessions. Holding stocks for the long term — even through down periods — is typically a better play than trying to time the peaks and falls of the market.
There is a famous saying: You need to be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful. When other investors are snapping up stocks, demand is high — and so are prices.
Conversely, when other investors get scared and start disposing of stock as quickly as they can, demand drops. This creates an opportunity to buy stock at lower prices and to make money on your investment if you can hold the asset long enough for the value to rise again.
When it comes to investing in the stock market, you need to be educated before you invest. Obtaining that education could mean reading a bunch of quality investment books and resources, or working directly with a professional whose job is to help others invest money wisely.
If you work with a professional, make sure that person works in your best interest. There are all kinds of financial representatives that call themselves financial planners, wealth managers, or investment advisors. There are no regulations around these terms, so you can't necessarily just judge someone by their title.
Stands for Certified Financial Planner, and indicates this person went through years of training and education. The advisor gets paid for services from clients only. They do not receive commissions or payments from companies when clients invest in certain funds. Removes conflicts of interest. This upholds an advisor to a legal and ethical standard to provide advice that is in your best interest. Those not held to this standard only need to give you "suitable" advice.
Pursue a "buy-and-hold" strategy and invest for the long term. This is safer for average investors because it allows you to avoid buying high and selling low, or losing money to fees and bad decisions when you try to trade frequently.
Research mutual funds and index funds. Funds give you access to a broad variety of equities without having to purchase each individually, meaning you can quickly and cost-effectively diversify your portfolio.
Understand risk and expect it. Manage it by diversifying and keeping some of your assets in cash.
And educate yourself! Continue reading books and articles, listen to podcasts, talk to professionals for advice, and ask questions. The more you learn, the more empowered you'll be to invest in the stock market.

Want to know something about me as a copywriter?
I don't like writing ads.
Now, don't get me wrong. Everything I've always done as a professional copywriter is about 'making a sale.' But I'm not an ad-writing type of copywriter.
I guess it's because of my background as a teacher. Once a teacher, always a teacher. When I started writing copy, I realized what I loved doing most was teaching the prospect in my writing.
Now, teaching, as such, in standard direct-marketing letters — you know, the ad letters I don't like writing — is a no-no.
But I soon found a way to combine my chosen third profession (copywriting) with my much-loved second profession (teaching). I started writing advertorials, white papers, blogs, and similar information-based pieces. Pieces like The Golden Thread series of articles.
I loved pursuing my craft this way. But I was definitely in a small niche of writers like me.
Fast forward five or so years to the current day. What I love doing most, imparting information in my writing, has become the most exciting — and under-populated — era in marketing ever.
And it's all because of the super-saturation of bad ads in our lives thanks to the Internet.
People are sick of ads. They still want to buy. But they don't like being 'sold' in ads. Instead, they want to learn new things that will make their lives easier and more interesting.
They want to learn things they can pass on to friends and family, things that will make them look and feel more interesting and more intelligent.
People want relevant, useful, and compelling information.
This hottest new era in direct marketing gives them exactly what they want. It's called 'Content Marketing.' What this means is that companies send their prospects useful information — content their prospects want and need. Content they happily read.
This develops a strong relationship with the prospects based on this 'gift' of useful content.
Businesses didn't turn to content marketing out of the goodness of their hearts. They did so because they were compelled to when Google shifted how it searched the Internet.
Until a few years ago, most online marketers could simply pepper their websites and blogs with keywords. Enough keywords, and a search query would land on their page and move it closer to the top. The result all too frequently was bad content getting high rankings in searches.
Google changed that with content-sensitive search algorithms. Instead of being fooled by an excess of keywords, these algorithms look at the quality of the actual content on the website or in the blog. The better the content, the higher the rankings.
This change is a godsend for writers like us. Businesses could no longer get away with outsourcing work for a few cents per page for keyword-heavy, garbage copy. Instead, they had to hire real, competent writers to write content-rich copy.
This revolution was also a godsend for small to medium-sized businesses. In the old, 'keywords are king' days, larger corporations dominated search rankings by virtue of their size. But now, smaller companies with good content-writers have a much better chance of placing higher in the rankings. And making more sales!
If you understand content marketing, you can help these small and medium-sized businesses break through to their customers. Think about it. You can find work just about anywhere you want, writing on any topic that interests you. Sounds exciting, doesn't it?
The acknowledged master of content marketing is Brian Clark — founder of Copyblogger Media. Brian likes to tell how he got started in content marketing with the story of the original content marketer, John Deere & Company.
In 1895, the company began publishing The Furrow. This magazine was packed with time-saving tips and technology news for farmers. Although called a magazine, in reality, it was content marketing for John Deere products. The magazine became immensely popular and sales went up that year and in the years that followed.
Based on this story, Brian developed his own take on content marketing by founding Copyblogger Media in 2006. Copyblogger has grown from nothing when it launched to making over $7 million a year today.
Along the way, Brian has captured numerous awards and accolades for his pioneering presence in this exciting field. This past year, 2012, Dun & Bradstreet named Brian the "most influential person to follow on Twitter" for small businesses.
Brian wants to teach you how to be a top-rated, highly sought after content marketer. He's going to do it this September in a series of eight live, online webinars stretching over four weeks.
Each hour-long session covers a crucial aspect of content marketing. While the learning will be serious, you won't feel like it's hard work. If you've ever been around Brian, you know he has a fun, conversational style that feels like a friendly chat. A chat with the expert who just happens to know everything you need to know about content marketing.
And as an extra bonus, each session is followed by a half-hour Q&A with Brian. He'll answer any questions you have about this exciting, new field in copywriting.
This simple list cannot do justice to what you'll learn under Brian's training and guidance. Unfortunately, there just isn't room here to go into more detail about the actual content of each session.
But it's easy to learn more. All you have to do is click here and you can read exactly what you'll learn in each informative and entertaining session. And more.
However, if the idea of writing content-rich copy — copy your readers are thrilled to read, copy that doesn't sound like an ad — excites you, then click here. You'll be able to reserve your space for these eight, information-packed sessions.
And of course, since this is AWAI, you're covered by the strongest, risk-free guarantee imaginable. If, after the first week of classes with Brian this September, you aren't absolutely confident he's putting you on the path to a six-figure career, you can have all your money back with no questions asked.
So there's absolutely no reason not to sign up now and be on your way to success as a Content Marketing Strategist today. Click here to get started!

301 or 404?
PanuKuuluvainen last edited by
My client has a classified ads website with hundreds of thousands of classified ads. These ads expire quite fast. When the ad expires it gets removed. At the moment this results in a 404 page and thus hundreds of thousands of 404 erros in Webmasters Tools.
From what I know this damages SERP results due to slow indexing of important sites and 404 being just plain bad SEO.
I suggested doing a 301 from the expired ads to a upper category but this feels like cheating. The content hasn't actually moved, it has been removed.
What would you suggest?
Thank you for your quality comments. I think we are going to go for Evaretts suggestion since I do feel like hundreds of thousands of 301's might be a bad idea.
We are also discussing the possibility of keeping the old pages (do index, do follow) up with the old ads, just removing the seller information. We believe that users might well be interested in information about past items sold or expired. This wouldn't require any 301's, just dynamically adding the message suggested by Chris and a search engine/index to help find interesting sold/expired items.
This way we could generate hundreds of thousands of content pages which might over time bring plenty of quality traffic to the website. These pages would have dynamically generated fresh content (new suggestions about relevant ads) so I don't feel too worried about old content in Googles index. We could also consider scraping some details of the sold item from the manufacturer website.
I've never dealt with this many pages combined with this thin content before so The wrath of the Pand worries me a bit. However the root domain is quite strong and these ads seem to draw quite a few links.
The question that requires some further thought is whether or not having this many old, thin pages in Google's index will prove problematic. Thoughts?
ps. Since I didn't mention this before, the website is about used cars

When you're dealing with hundreds of thousands of 301 redirects you're going to probably notice some serverside performance issues. It is certainly an option, and if you don't see the site slowing down I'd use Chris's recommendation, including the messaging if possible.
But if you notice the site slows down significantly you could just leave the page up but dynamically add a follow,noindex meta tag in the header area, and show the message suggested by Chris on the original page instead of the old add. The message, of course, would link to the appropriate category to help them find what they're looking for. Users will no longer be able to get to that page from the search results, and I assume you'll keep those pages from showing up in internal search results too. The only way anyone would get to them would be a direct link, bookmark or some similar direct method.
This method would allow you to keep from having to do so many redirects, and would provide a good user experience. It would also solve the problem of having all of that old, thin content in Google's index and risking a lot of back-clicks or "block this site" clicks, which could bring on the wrath of Panda.
If you find that your old ads DO have a lot of links going into them it may be worth redirecting them so your category pages benefit from those links. Or you could use a combination. For instance, use my suggestion for most of them, but if you find some that have lots of external links you could redirect those on a one-by-one basis.

I would agree with Chris. Having the generic 404 appear is not very helpful for the user. Linking them over to the same category with a 301 would be better from the Search Engine perspective and the usability perspective.
SEMPassion last edited by
I would not want to be generating all those 404 errors. My recommendation would be to 301 them to the top of the category and dynamically provide a error message that the classified they are looking for has expired, but here are lots of other ads in that category that might help them find what they are looking for.
You want to provide a good user experience and this would certainly be better for the user than simply a page not found error message.
Domain forward or 301 redirect
My company recently acquired another company including their web presence. We are soon ending their website and will be either 301 redirecting their domain to our domain or pointing their domain to our nameservers. Their domain authority is only 25 while our domain authority is 32. Their domain was created in 1998 while ours was created in 1999. So to keep our domain authority up or enhance it, should we do a 301 redirect or a domain forward. And that is if there is any difference? Thanks Chris

301 redirection pointing to noindexed pages
I have rather an unusual situation where a recently launched affiliate site does not have any unique content as its all syndicated content. For that reason we are currently using the noindex,nofollow meta tags to keep the pages out of the search engines index until we create unique content for the pages. The problem is that due to a very tight timeframe with rebranding, we are looking at 301 redirecting (on a page to page basis) another high authority legacy domain to this new site before we have had a chance to add unique content to it and remove the noindex,nofollow tags. I would assume that any link authority normally passed through the 301 would be lost in this scenario but Im uncertain of what the broader impact might be. Has anyone dealt with a similar scenario? I know this scenario is not ideal and I would rather wait until the unique content is up and noindex tags are removed before launching the 301 redirect of the legacy domain but there are a number of competing priorities at play outside of SEO.

301 Redirect Dilemma - Website redesign
Hi Guys, We are redesigning a clients ecommerce site. As part of the process, we're changing the URL structure to make it more friendly. I have put together a provisional 301 redirect plan but I'm not sure just how far I need to go with it. So far I have extract all the pages from the existing site that Google Webmaster Tools says have links pointing at them - this totals 93 pages. I have matched each page like for like to the new website structure. My next step was to pull the landing pages report from Google Analytics, I have extracted the pages that received entrances over the last 6 weeks. This totals 553, less the redirects I have already done and cleaning up some Google Translate pages I have circa 410 pages left. Many of these pages has more than 1 URL pointing to that page. I'm debating how important it is that that all of these remaining 410 pages have individual redirects set up for them one by one. I have to rule out regex because there is no pattern that makes sense given that I have already set up redirects for the first 93 pages that have external links. My question therefore is how important are 301 redirects on pages that have no external links and receive less than 10 entrances over a 6 week previous period? Do I need to 301 every single product on the old site to it's corresponding page on the new site? Also, I'm not sure how to treat pages that have mutliple URL's on the old site, the existing URL structure is such a mess that in some instances I have 5 URL's for one product page? I could feasibly create 5 seperate redirects but is this necessary? Also what about speed considerations, the server is going to have to load these redirects and it may slow the site down. I'm sitting at 100 odd so far. Any answers are most appreciated. Thanks Derek.

Is a 301 to a 301 ok?
I have a site that has a lot of url differences. Due to coding we sometimes have to 301 to a page that is 301'd to another. Is there any danger in doing this?

After the 301 redirect
Hi all, A quick question, after you have setup your 301 re-directs in .htaccess - is it necessary to keep your content in the original domains directory? My thinking is that requests do get as far as referencing the directory, thus it should be safe to delete all the files on the old domain? Thanx!

Status Code: 404 Errors. How to fix them.
Hi, I have a question about the "4xx Staus Code" errors appearing in the Analysis Tool provided by SEOmoz. They are indicated as the worst errors for your site and must be fixed. I get this message from the good people at SEOmoz: "4xx status codes are shown when the client requests a page that cannot be accessed. This is usually the result of a bad or broken link." Ok, my question is the following. How do I fix them? Those pages are shown as "404" pages on my site...isn't that enough? How can fix the "4xx status code" errors indicated by SEOmoz? Thank you very much for your help. Sal

Robots.txt 404 problem
I've just set up a wordpress site with a hosting company who only allow you to install your wordpress site in http://www.myurl.com/folder as opposed to the root folder. I now have the problem that the robots.txt file only works in http://www.myurl./com/folder/robots.txt Of course google is looking for it at http://www.myurl.com/robots.txt and returning a 404 error. How can I get around this? Is there a way to tell google in webmaster tools to use a different path to locate it? I'm stumped?

Rankings for Home vs. Internal Pages - Potential 301?
Hi everyone: A site I'm working with until recently was ranking page 1 for its primary keyword. For the last month, they've dropped to page 4. One thing we've noticed is that the page that is ranking is an internal page (http://www.example.com/keyword-string) and at this point, everything ranking above us is ranking based on the root domain (http://www.competitor.com). We've eliminated Panda, penalties, and any other obvious causes for the drop in rankings. We have similar or better page rank, external links, domain trust, etc. in comparison to the sites still ranking page 1. We think this may be part of our problem. Has anyone else dealt with this? What did you do to change it and how did it work? We're considering eliminating the existing internal page and 301'ing to the home page. The keyword in question is the core of the business, so this is a natural change, but we're loath to lose years of investment in promoting the internal page. Also, the site was originally optimized with the primary keyword throughout (appears in META tags, headers on multiple pages). How important is it to clear these out to make Google see the home page as most relevant? Thanks!!

subtitle: Yet another request bin
---

Yet another request bin but made with Blazor this time. When you build serverless apps or functions, your system depends on webhooks a lot. There are request bin tools on web which provides you unique endpoints so you can send requests from your system and see what is coming in  the payload.

When I saw [Blazor WebAssembly 3.2.0 Preview 1 release now available](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/aspnet/blazor-webassembly-3-2-0-preview-1-release-now-available) article on ASP.NET Blog, I decided to give it a try to work with Azure SignalR Service.

~~BlazorBin is on Azure and can be accessed by blazorbin.azurewebsites.net/~~. **This service does not continue because of a billing issue.** A new endpoint to an Azure Function, will be created when you visit the website. When a request comes to the endpoint, it will be listed on the left-hand-side menu as the method name. You can see the details of that request by clicking on the menu item.

![solution_structure.png]({{site.baseurl}}/img/solution_structure.png)

The hardest part in this project was using multiple Azure SignalR Services because of limitations. You need two SignalR services, one in Default and the other one in Serverless service mode. You can see the comparions [here](https://github.com/Azure/azure-signalr/blob/dev/docs/faq.md#what-is-the-meaning-of-service-mode-defaultserverlessclassic-how-can-i-choose). Since Blazor has the hub server, we need a SignalR service in Default mode for it. Another one in Serverless mode to communicate between clients. The clients are an Azure Function and a Blazor app in our case.

The code can be found on [github.com/olcay/blazorbin](https://github.com/olcay/blazorbin) repository. I tried to explain how to install it step by step. I used Github Actions to deploy to Azure. It is running on free resources. I have been using it to test ingrations of my serverless systems for a while now.

NEW YORK (AP) — Former Auburn assistant coach and 13-year NBA veteran Chuck Person has pleaded guilty to a bribery conspiracy charge in the widespread college basketball bribery scandal.Person entered the plea on Tuesday in Manhattan federal court, averting a June trial.
Person's plea falls in line with those entered by three other former assistant coaches at major college basketball schools. Those ex-coaches are awaiting sentencing, and their terms are likely to be measured in months rather than years.

Q: org chart component in Flex I have got an open source "Organisation Chart" component in Flex from the below link
http://myflex.googlecode.com/svn/
But the component is in Flex 3, and I want the same in Flex 4.
When I am trying to run the same in Flex 4,
I am getting some weird errors :
1024: Overriding a function that is not marked for override.   OrgChart.as
Any one has any idea, Please help me with this.
Also If any one knows any other "Org chart" component for Flex4, Please let me know.
Thanks in advance,

A: If you looked at the home page for the component, you would notice that it has a link to
this component, which seems to be a version of an OrgChart in flex 4 (extending skinnable container, etc).

A: you should
change the name   depth
in - IOrgChartNode
   - DefaultOrgChartNode
   - OrgChart

and it will work

So healthy and light, these Asian eggplants are steamed to delicate perfection and topped with a savory yet slightly spicy dressing for a little heat.
1) Slice your eggplant into 1/4 thick pieces.
2) Line your bamboo steamer with parchment paper. Place sliced eggplants in bamboo steamer. Place bamboo steamer lid.
3) In a large skillet or wok, add about 2 inches of water. Place bamboo steamer with eggplant in water. Turn flame until water starts to boil. After water starts to boil, let it simmer boil for 7 minutes only and the steam rising will make the eggplant tender but not mushy.
4) Prepare dressing: in a small bowl, mix scallions, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, sirracha sauce, and red pepper flakes.
5) Plate the steamed eggplants and pour dressing over it.

The complex is made up of 5 villas with exclusive design, located in the central part of Phuket West coast, within a 30-minute drive from the airport and five minutes from the beautiful Kamala Beach.
The villas vary in sizes from 396 sq.m. to 981 sq.m, from 3 to 6 bedrooms. Land plot sizes range between 377 sq.m. and 1156 sq.m. The concept is based on the principles of the simple arrangement of space, functionality and spaciousness. There is no place for complex shapes and tangled ornaments.

The floor-to-ceiling glazing smoothly connects the beauty of the tropical landscape and contemporary style of the villa. Every villa offers a breathtaking sea view, enabling you to start your day with the first tender rays of the sun. The villas' design is created in a unified manner, but every space remains unique. The entrance is welcoming guests with an elegant floral arrangement and a designer handicraft fretwork. Unique surfaces made of glass and mirror make the space bright and varied. White painted walls become the perfect background for contemporary art objects. The walls decoration of the living room is inspired by the works of Jackson Pollock, the most famous representative of the abstract expressionism.
When you enter the villa, the first thing you see is a tall waterfall at the entrance, stonework and handmade plaster decorations on the wall of the entrance hall. In addition to the living space, the villas offer infinity pools with Jacuzzi as well as spacious gardens with arbours and patios.As well as architecture, the design of the villas favours rigour and brevity. Neutral colour scheme and natural Italian finishing materials dispose to comfortable recreation.
The project's essential feature is based on the most current trend in modern design: light wood is widely used in the interior design. Eco-friendly furniture is made of Indonesian teak. Elegantly shaped furniture from Bali is accentuated by clear lines and architecture, fulfilling the criteria of contemporary style.
The master bedroom of the villa consists of a sleeping area, a walk-in closet and a bathroom. The laconic interior is complemented by paintings interpreting Henri Matisse.
On the same floor with the master bedroom there is an open rooftop terrace with a stunning view, a bar, soft sofas and excellent sound system. Two more bedrooms are located on the ground floor. Both bedrooms have access to a beautiful garden with a private sala, perfectly suitable for lunch in the fresh air. The bedrooms are decorated by handmade plaster stucco work with geometric design and Tiffany-style stained-glass windows.
A Wine Cellar is a separate room on the basement floor. It is located right next to a mini-library with leather armchairs seamlessly matching the interior. In the evening you can enjoy a glass of wine while reading your favorite book here.

Q: Hibernate Java rearranging parentheses in SQL I've got a @NamedQuery like so
select i from MyTable i
where
(i.streetId = :streetId and i.cityId = :cityId)
or
(i.streetId is null and i.cityId = :cityId)
or
(i.streetId = :streetId and i.cityId is null)

Somehow Hibernate rearranges the parentheses to
Hibernate:
    select
        mytable0_.id as id1_14_,
        mytable0_.version as version2_14_,
        mytable0_.streetId as streetI3_14_,
        mytable0_.cityId as cityId7_14_
    from
        myTable mytable0_
    where
        mytable0_.streetId=?
        and mytable0_.cityId=?
        or (
            mytable0_.streetId is null
        )
        and mytable0_.cityId=?
        or mytable0_.streetId=?
        and (
            mytable0_.cityId is null
        )

Why is it doing this ?
(They could be equivalent, but I prefer the simpler where clause)
Current workaround is to write this in native SQL, but I'm just wondering if this is a known issue.

A: Since 'AND' operation has higher precedence over 'OR' operation in SQL Query execution, hibernate removed unnecessary braces, making the result generated by hiberante query is same as one returned by Named Query. Ex: In SQL Execution:
A and B or C and D or E and F == (A and B) or (C and D) or (E and F).

A: Guided by the responses this is what I figured out
Imagine
A is streetId = :streetId
B is cityId = :cityId
C is streetId is null
D is cityId is null

My original SQL is
(A and B) or (C and B) or (A and D)
Hibernate's version is
A and B or (C) and B or A and (D)
Since AND has precedence over OR, let's reimagined using MULTIPLICATION for AND and ADDITION for OR
A * B + (C) * B + A * (D)
That's equivalent to
A * B gets evaluated
C * B gets evaluated
A * D gets evaluated
and getting their results added

Equivalent to
(A * B) + (C * B) + (A * D)
Which is exactly my original SQL

A: Because people may stumble upon this and wonder if, in spite of the query design limitations, it's possible to redesign the query above, consider taking the following subquery approach:
select i from MyTable i
where
i.id in (select i1.id from MyTable i1
                           where i1.streetId = :streetId
                                 and i1.cityId = :cityId)
or
i.id in (select i2.id from MyTable i2
                           where i2.streetId is null
                                 and i2.cityId = :cityId)
or
i.id in (select i3.id from MyTable i3
                           where i3.streetId = :streetId
                                 and i3.cityId is null)


The sun rises, the sun sets, Yelp is accused of doing something massively dickish and unethical. Let's get to it, shall we?
Earlier this year, Yelp spent $134 million for the privilege of purchasing a food-delivery service called Eat24, whereby (as with similar services) you can tip on your credit card while paying for the food itself. If you haven't heard of Eat24, you're not alone; I honestly didn't even know it existed until today (who the hell doesn't use Grubhub or Seamless?). Apparently some people have been using it, though, because two California employees of SideCar, a company Eat24 outsources deliveries to, are now suing Yelp over the fact that apparently, those credit card tips never actually got to them. Via Fortune's Jeff John Roberts, Eat24—and, by extension, Yelp—allegedly just straight-up heisted them.
drivers do not actually receive the tips that Eat24 collects on their behalf...Eat24 also conceals the fact that a customer has tipped a driver through its website, as the tip total is not included on the delivery invoices that drivers may see when picking up food to deliver.
This case appears to be brought by drivers who contract with Sidecar to deliver food for orders made through Eat24. ... For Sidecar-made deliveries, Eat24 sends all tips to Sidecar, who we understand then distributes those tips to Sidecar drivers.
Someone is stealing from these drivers, be it SideCar or Yelp, and given the fact that Eat24 hasn't refuted the notion that they deliberately hide tip amounts from drivers, I'm inclined to assume it's the latter. Plus there's the fact that Yelp is a terrible, horrible place that caters largely to the capricious whims of terrible, horrible people.
Food review sites are bad.

Q: Using Mocks inside Doctests? I am using doctests. I am wondering what is the correct way to doctest a function that performs an external action (e.g. sends email, connects to a server, etc)? Using Mock seems like the answer but it will muddy up the doc string of the function.
For example:
class SSHConnection(BaseConnection):
    """Provides basic SSH functions.

    >>> host = '127.0.0.1'
    >>> port = 22
    >>> username = 'user'
    >>> password = 'password'
    >>> ssh = SSHConnection(host, username, password, port)
    >>> ssh.execute('uname -a')

Q: what is angularjs and MVC framework? "what is angular and mvc? than how works Angular JS with MVC frameworks"

A: Angular is a java script framework and it used to single page application for ex: (face like function and command).
In AngularJS the MVC pattern is implemented in JavaScript and HTML. The view is defined in HTML, while the model and controller are implemented in JavaScript. There are several ways that these components can be put together in AngularJS but the simplest form starts with the view.

"Nothing to Your Show": Same Anthem, New Generation
UPDATE: The China Beat has a good breakdown of train-crash talk and points to this article on China Geeks with the translated lyrics (though a correction should be noted: Cui did not sing the song to the Tiananmen protesters, at least not according to the recording of the four-song set put up online a couple years back).
Lots of talk, lately, about the high-speed train collision on July 23 near the eastern Chinese city of Wenzhou, particularly about the general anger over the Official response. A report on Public Radio International's The World relates this to yaogun: The song that was the first expression of China's own homegrown rock and roll, Cui Jian's "Nothing to My Name", has been used to express that anger.
Cui's song (lyrics here), first performed in 1986 and spread quickly and widely thereafter, expressed the feelings that his fellow citizens either didn't realize they had or couldn't figure out how to make known. Its power was in its subtelty; Cui was expending a huge effort with his moans, yes, but he wasn't screaming, because he, and his generation, weren't exactly angry – not yet, anyway. The song, and the way people took to it, was a product of the era's angst and confusion: Unlike the pop music of the day, Cui Jian sang about the sudden confrontation with a new world, both inside and outside of China, and with the possibility that their own world as they knew it was coming to an end.
The "Nothing to My Name" that has emerged the wake of the train crash is a very different beast, as is the generation that produced it. This version, particularly with the accompanying video footage, isn't just angry, it's a call to arms. Many have pointed to the song's role in the events of 1989, but Cui has never been the type to demand people to rise up – not directly, since the immediate reaction doesn't take the long view. It was a revolutionary tune, to be sure, but it was not incendiary in the way that the tweaked version now making the rounds is.
"Oh… You seem to be making a show" struck me in particular. The idea that much of the news coverage in the Middle Kingdom was less than actual news is not new: It's been a long time since intelligent people believe they're getting the full story on just about anything from the newspapers and newscasts of the Official Media (an argument which can be made of many nations, one is quick to add, though it's not always easy to spot the "official" outside of China). What's new is the eagerness to call it when it's seen, not to mention the media's own desire to editorialize on the issue – there's the rage of the anchor at the top of the video, and the CCTV anchor mentioned in the PRI report who implored the nation to slow down, lest it leave behind the souls of its citizens. This type of expression, at least among the general populace, also happened in the wake of the Sichuan earthquake of May, 2008 (and the image of the candle-lit "7.23" in the video is the link to that episode) and it's happening moreso now, inasmuch as its being allowed by Officialdom.
Alas. Back to Cui Jian.
I'd always been dismissive of Cui Jian's own campaign, in the first years of the aughts, against lip-synching (which, recall, led to actual legislation banning the practice without telling people you were doing it), but in revisiting that campaign, particularly in light of a situation such as the one around the train crash, one understands what he might've been trying to do – and it's been something he's obviously been trying to do through his music, and general example. To get people to think. If people are telling you they're singing and they're not, what else out there is fake?
Whether this new "Nothing" merely riles folks up in the short term or leads them to reflect on the long is the difference between yaogun's ability to shock and its ability to awe; its power and its potential.
PS: Happy 50th b-day, Cui Jian!

We don't typically engage in hyperbole, but we will say that no matter what project needs you have, we've already been part of the solution.
At Southeast Industrial, we recognize that all projects, no matter the size or scope, will leave an indelible mark on their community for decades, if not centuries. From this perspective, we approach every project with a unique blend of character, dedication and discipline.
Not only do we own most of our equipment, we self-perform the majority of our own work as well. Of course, there are always times when we need to hire a subcontractor to perform a specialized scope of work, but not always having to rely on someone else has proven to be very beneficial, as well as cost effective.
From installing ceiling grid to changing workplace flooring (and everything in between), our team can handle you interior fit-up needs.
We buy our own, brand new.
With ever changing rental prices, delivery and haul-off fees, and heavily worn and un-reliable machinery. We opted for a new approach - to buy our own equipment, and be in control of our own projects. We buy our own, we haul our own. After all, a team is only as strong as it's weakest link.
Along with our vast background in flatwork, we also provide an array of specialty services and metal fabrications, such as bollard & cart corral installation, as well as structural column welding & repair.
We are flatwork specialists, and offer extensive experience in repair/replacement and new concrete construction.
From parking lot design to speed bumps, Southeast Industrial is equipped to handle a wide range of commercial paving projects.

Soul Urge #11
Personality #33
Who is Mackenzie Phillips? She is an American actress and singer best known for her roles as Carol in American Graffiti, the rebellious teenager Julie Mora Cooper Horvath on the sitcom One Day at a Time, and Molly Phillips in the Disney Channel science fiction show So Weird. She was born on Tuesday November 10th 1959, in Alexandria, Virginia, United States.
Mackenzie Phillips is the philanthropist and humanitarian who is deeply concerned about the state of the world, for which she has great compassion and idealism. She has a utopian personality, and will spend her life trying to realize some aspect of her utopian dream, sacrificing money, time, and energy for a better world.
Her broad outlook on life allows Phillips to see the big picture, and to often shy away from dealing with the minute details. That is why Mackenzie Phillips attracts people who can fit into her larger plans and take over the areas she considers uninteresting. Consequently, Mackenzie evaluates people on the basis of what they can do for the larger cause. She is a true egalitarian, rarely prejudiced and would not accept social biases of people.
Interior decorating, landscape art or photography can be the sort of fields in which Mackenzie's imagination and creativity can harmoniously arrange the beauty already potential in the environment. However, due to her strong social consciousness - she can be an effective politician, lawyer, judge, minister, teacher, healer, environmentalist or in any other vocation that carries a clear social impact.
Mackenzie Phillips has a romantic personality, but her love is more impersonal as she tends to be focused on her dreams instead. When not in harmony with her true nature, Mackenzie can fall to moodiness, or become aloof, and withdrawn. She can also become timid, uncertain, and ungrateful, putting the blame for her troubles on others or the world. She is often disappointed by the realities of life, her own shortcomings, and those of others, and is relentlessly driven to improve upon it all - striving for greater accomplishments. This is Mackenzie's life-lesson - to accept the natural limitations of the world and its habitants in order to make it possible for her to enjoy life more fully.
Phillips must learn to let go of material possessions and relationships because holding on too tightly to anything causes her pain. The more she gives, the bigger is her reward, and the most successful and satisfying road for her is sharing and sacrificing for the larger goal, without expecting anything in return. Mackenzie Phillips' greatest chance at success is to tie her personal fortunes to an endeavor that makes the world a better place for others. It may very well turn into a highly successful and lucrative enterprise, providing amply for Mackenzie and her family. More...
More flavors to Mackenzie's personality
Entrepreneurial and progressive, Mackenzie Phillips is ever-striving, heading for the top, and enjoying an enterprising, ambitious and determined personality to do things well, and an unyielding dedication to her plan until the goals are achieved.
She bounces back easily from setbacks and can overcome any adversities or obstacles thrown in her way.
There is danger, however that her trait of determination and dedication will shift to stubbornness, making Mackenzie cling to ideas and projects well past their fruitious season. It is a good idea for her to keep fresh pipeline of ideas to make it easier to replace outdated plans by new and better ones.
Patient as she is towards her goals, Mackenzie's flying, ravaging temper endangers her relationships with the very same people that will help her to accomplish those goals. She should use her strength of will to study and practice anger management.

I'm 17-0 in the UFC. I'm unbeaten in MMA.
People are always going to say, 'Who's he beat? He's only beat Cowboy.' So what you're trying to tell me is Cowboy is a nobody? Cowboy will be remembered as one of the greatest fighters of all time. And I beat him in one round.
You can say what you want about the Stephen Thompson fight, but you cannot disregard that me and Stephen went five rounds in a technical fight. Apparently, he's one of the best strikers in the UFC, Stephen Thompson.
You don't get to this position or this level of fighting or a record like mine by beating nobodies.
The market's in America, and I haven't even fought there. So many Americans are speaking about me. So, why can't I bring a pay-per-view to Anfield this summer? Why can't I? That's a dream.
It's not a coach relationship: he's a mentor; it's a life relationship. If I didn't make it in fighting, I didn't have anything else to fall back on.
I don't go in there thinking about my family, friends, girlfriend, or my daughter. I want to prove to my coach that I'm the best. I don't care about anyone else.
I can imagine they're asking for someone, and someone is asking for me. Everyone knows I keep asking for Wonderboy, and I will - I'll keep knocking on the door.
I called out Rafael Dos Anjos in Brazil, so he could be a potential contender. People don't talk about Jorge Masvidal enough. He'd be a great fight: he comes to fight.
I want to prove myself and get in talks for a title shot. It's hard because people don't want to risk themselves against me.
Fans, and people in general, look to people to take certain things on, and I'm a guy you can take at face value. I speak my mind.

Welcome to The Gretna Chase Hotel. Situated on the Scottish border, Gretna Green, world famous for it's wedding history. Built in 1856, the hotel is full of original character, tastefully decorated, with modern amenities and a homely touch. Privately owned and family run, our friendly team are ready to welcome you and assist you in taking care of everything to make your dream wedding day.
Our perfect day was made into a perfect weekend. I cannot fault this hotel. We had our wedding reception here, and all the guests stayed two nights. The food was wonderful and the ambience second to none. If you're considering getting married at Gretna Green I can't recommend this hotel highly enough. Thank you so much to the staff and owners for being so wonderful.
Went to the Gretna chase hotel in December 2003 for our honeymoon and we've returned in July 2018 for my 50th birthday with special friends and well it was absolutely amazing the staff were amazing and the meals were out of this world. We've now booked to go in December 2018!
Best Weekend EVER! Around 25 of us travelled from Northern Ireland to The Gretna Chase on Friday 3rd August with a further 10 arriving on the Saturday morning to stay for our wedding weekend ... Ours was the Paolo and Francesca Bridal suite which is just amazing, four poster bed, whirlpool bath and everything else needed to enjoy your wedding night. ... We had 5 children with us, the oldest being 5 years old, they were able to run about the gardens and play while the adults sat and relaxed ... We honestly cannot fault the hotel and can't wait to return.
I have stayed at the Chase on numerous occasions, all of them have been fantastic. Lovely staff, exceptionally comfortable rooms. The food is fresh, tasty and presented well. Cannot fault anything about my stay. Looking forward to my next visit.
This hotel has to be the best hotel we have ever stayed at. We were a total of 19 guests in 8 rooms, each one as luxurious as the 1st. The staff are outstanding, being very helpful and polite with nothing too much trouble. We have stayed here now 3 times, the last for our wedding reception and looking forward to our next visit. The food, either served in the bar or restaurant, is superb and even serving large numbers with great steaks is 1st class.


United Soccer League released the 2018 on-and-off field rule changes Wednesday morning and while no change will ever be as big as last year's shift away from 5 substitutes, the 2018 rule updates have the potential to affect the season for several clubs.
The first change, shifting the time a match is considered official, is important but hard to find controversial.
The other four new rules in the release are where the real interest lies.
First is one that wont have any effects until the end of the season when the USL Cup Playoffs kick off, where a 4th substitute will be allowed in extra time. This rule may have impacted San Antonio FC's final match in 2017 which saw the Alamo City club fall on penalty kicks to OKC Energy FC. Both San Antonio FC and OKC only used two substitutes each in that match.
If another substitute slot was available, would the clubs have chosen to deploy a third fresh player? Would that have changed the dynamics of the match, possibly ending in extra time instead of penalties? We'll never know, but it is something to watch for in the 2018 USL Cup Playoffs.
The next rule isn't one likely to affect San Antonio FC who generally don't utilize a maximum roster size, but the creation of an Injured Reserve roster spot seems to be a player-friendly step in a league without many player protections. Current and former San Antonio FC players Matt Cardone, Victor Araujo, and Miggy Salazar have all suffered season ending injuries in previous seasons. For Cardone and Araujo, a recovery and contract for the following season was possible. Salazar was cut from the roster, but remained in an unofficial capacity to rehab his injury before moving on from the club. While San Antonio FC seems to "take care of their own," clubs with fewer resources or who need to run a maximum-sized roster are now able to set aside a player who is medically unable to play for the remainder of a season without it counting against their roster size. The cynical view is that a team doctor could incorrectly medically disqualify a player, inhibiting his ability to move to another USL club in that season. However until maliciousness occurs, this appears to be a player and club friendly rule change.
The final rule on the list is one that benefits blowhards like us who are trying to project starting XI's for matches, but also seems to be a response to one specific 2017 match. Cutting the submitted list from 27 to 23 helps narrow down who may actually play, helpful for figuring out what a starting XI may look like. But the last part of the rule, that a team's 18 man roster may only include 5 academy-contract players, seems to be a direct response to a 9-0 Reno 1868 routing of Los Dos on July 3rd of last year. In that match, LA fielded a team made up of multiple academy players including two 16-year-old players. The shift was due in part to injuries to the MLS side, forcing multiple USL-regulars to play at the top division.
The 9-0 destruction of the LA boys added to Reno 1868's already powerful goal differential. While it didn't end up mattering as SAFC took care of business to finish three points clear and Swope Park fell one point short of Reno, that padded goal differential could have been a deciding factor in playoff positioning as a tie-breaker.
The full 2018 USL Media Guide has not been released, but when it is we should be able to provide a full picture of how the 2018 season will be governed.


The programme cover suggests that this might have been an international 4-team tournament, but the meeting was reported in Speedway Star as an individual event.
unless further information is found.
The England and "Australia" teams were comprised of members of the British club, Ipswich.
This match was very strange as all the Dutch riders raced each other in Ht.1, all the Austrians did the same in ht. 2, etc.
So after heat 4, each team had 6 points, not having beaten any opposing riders!
