Realtor.com® Investor Report: Top Markets Where Investors Are Impacting the Inventory Crunch
29 Julho 2021 - 07:00AM
PR Newswire (US)
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Despite the common perception that investors are always in competition with everyday buyers, new findings from the Realtor.com® Investor Report shows that isn't always the case. According to the data, investors are exacerbating the inventory shortage in 31 of the top 50 U.S. markets, but in roughly 19 markets – including Atlanta, Dallas, Baltimore, Los Angeles and San Francisco – they are actually helping to replenish the number of homes for sale.
Realtor.com® analyzed U.S. deed records from January 2000-April 2021 to determine the number of investor sales versus purchases in the 50 largest U.S. markets. In this report, areas where investors are contributing inventory refers to places where investors are selling more homes than they are buying. Places where investors are taking away inventory are locales where investors are buying more homes than they sell.
"Today's buyers are facing a tough market and data shows they aren't just competing with each other. With deep pockets and more flexibility, investors can be daunting competition for the typical homebuyer. Right now, data shows investors are buying more homes than they are selling, and while they get a lot of attention in today's market, it's worth remembering that they can also contribute to inventory levels," said Realtor.com® Chief Economist Danielle Hale. "Whether a market is appealing to investors depends on a variety of factors, including how local home prices compare to rents. When home prices are rising and rents are more stagnant, investors are more likely to sell off properties and contribute inventory. On the other hand, the higher rents are compared to home prices the more attractive the market is to investors looking to buy homes and convert them into rental properties."
Investors help buyers in big metros with limited homes for sale
In April, investors added to the number of homes on the market in 19 of the 50 largest U.S. metros, with Atlanta (+399 homes), Dallas (+239 homes), Baltimore (+188 homes), Los Angeles (+112 homes) and San Francisco (+93 homes) seeing the biggest contributions. Compared to the markets where investors took away inventory in April, these metros tend to be bigger, with fewer homes for sale and higher listing prices.
Compared to nationwide inventory declines in April (-53%), the top 10 markets where investors are contributing saw a smaller drop, at an average -44% during the same timeframe. However, some of these metros saw even bigger inventory gaps from last year, including the two markets where investors contributed the most inventory in April: Atlanta (-63.4%) and Dallas (-69.7%). At an average population size of 5.5 million, these markets also encompass some of the nation's biggest tech hubs, such as San Francisco and San Jose. Home to some of the most expensive real estate in the U.S., these metros had an average median listing price of $668,000 in April, well above the national median price of $375,000.
Hale added, "High home prices, slower rent growth, and uncertainty over the future of work in these markets are likely causing investors to reevaluate their property portfolios in these areas. And with homes still selling quickly, even in these metros, an investor deciding to sell can look forward to being able to reposition their dollars elsewhere in a very short period of time."
Investors are snatching up homes in smaller markets with higher inventory levels
Investors took away inventory in 31 of the largest U.S. markets, led by Phoenix (-429 homes), Charlotte, N.C. (-287 homes), Miami (-256 homes),Tampa (-224 homes) and Chicago (-221 homes). Compared to the markets where investors helped buyers, these metros are smaller and less crowded, with more available home listings relative to all households, lower home prices, and relatively higher rental price growth.
While average home prices are more affordable in these top markets, rental prices grew at a faster year-over-year pace on average (+4.6%) than in top markets with more investor sales (+0.1%) in April. In Tampa, where the $327,000 median listing price was below the national average of $375,000 in April, rents grew 4.5 times faster than the national rate, up 12.4% year-over-year.
The markets where investors are competing with homebuyers and taking away inventory tend to offer the perfect storm of factors for converting homes into rental properties. These markets have relatively more homes available, at 3.7 properties for every 1,000 residences versus 2.8 in markets where investors are adding to inventory. While these metros have experienced more rapid year-over-year inventory declines in April (-57%), rapid rent price gains keep calculations favorable for buying which means that until rent trends change, investors are likely to be homebuyer foes, not friends.
"Getting ahead in today's market is tough, especially when you are contending with professional investors," said Lexie Holbert, home and living expert at Realtor.com®. "Setting up price alerts on Realtor.com® is a really helpful trick for getting ahead of the competition. When a home that meets your parameters hits the market, you'll get a notification so you can get in and try to make an offer."

In this analysis we examined deed records dating from January 2000 to April 2021 nationally and in the 50 largest metro areas. We included only single family homes, condos, townhomes and rowhomes and we excluded multi-family buildings which is not a market the typical homebuyer is competitive in. We attempted to capture business-oriented, buy and hold investor purchases. We defined an investor as a buyer or seller that was/is an absentee-owner and that has a name which includes the following: LLP, LP, LLC, GP, or TRUST. In addition to this broad definition, we also excluded keywords and sale types relating to home builders, relocation service companies, iBuyers, government bodies and financial institutions. Data limitations mean that this analysis likely excludes small investors not registered under a company name. Census estimates show that in 2018 41.2% of rental units were owned by individual investors while 47.5% of units were owned by Trusts, LLPs, LPs, or LLCs, General Partnerships, Real Estate Investment Trusts, or Real Estate Corporations. Ownership entity for more than half of the remaining units was not reported.

Reading the Bible in China: Tough Times for Religious Publications
11/30/2019 Sun Kairui
Any books and printed materials not approved by the regime are confiscated, and religious periodicals are prohibited from being published and distributed.
by Sun Kairui
Starting from April 2018, the Chinese government banned the sale of Bibles and other religious materials that are not sanctioned by the regime and started closing down stores that sell them. Since then, people of faith can purchase religious texts only from state-run organizations, while censorship measures are tightened on religious texts as part of the nationwide campaign to "eradicate pornography and illegal publications."
Religious books from abroad, magazines and hymn books published by printing houses that are not approved by the state, even gospel leaflets have been included on the list of materials to be confiscated, people banned from having them under the threat of punishment.
In October, a house church preacher was investigated by the police for having purchased online a Christian book published by a US publishing house three years ago. He was treated as a criminal: police officers took photos of him and collected his fingerprints. Not only his book was confiscated, but data on his cellphone was inspected as well. The preacher was warned not to buy religious materials that are not approved by the state.
"The police tracked him down by investigating his activities online. Such monitoring of citizens' purchases on the internet is widespread in China," a government source explained to Bitter Winter.
A couple from the prefecture-level city of Taizhou in the eastern province of Zhejiang were arrested by the local police in September, accused of selling religious literature imported from Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States, and other countries.
According to a government insider, after the arrest, public security officers tracked down each buyer throughout the country the couple had sold religious materials to. They confiscated all books and talked to every buyer to collect information for further investigations. Even people who live in other provinces, like Henan, and purchased books from the couple two years ago were brought in for interrogation.
"These were regular books on religion, published by publishing houses or organizations abroad, for example, A Kernel of Wheat Christian Ministries in the United States. But they are the cause of investigations and are confiscated," a house church preacher said worriedly. "Since last year, the regime has been intensifying its control over people's faith, banning non-government-approved publications of various religions, including Christianity, Islam, and others. They are even revising the Bible. No books will soon be able to reach mainland China."
Under the CCP's high-pressure policy, religious periodicals are also struggling to survive. An editor of a religious magazine who required anonymity told Bitter Winter that launching a religious publication is now considered a serious crime in China. "Only those censored by the government are allowed. Even then, many issues are banned from their pages, like cases of removal of crosses from churches," the editor added. "Since Xi Jinping took power, the government's control over this field has intensified colossally."
Pressured by the government, many publications have been discontinued. The Spring Rain News, a newspaper founded by the Seventh-day Adventist Church in October 2014, was targeted during a nationwide campaign last year that resulted in its closure and arrests of subscribers.
The Catholic newspaper Breeze, published by the Ningjin Diocese in the northern province of Hebei, was forced to cease publication in October 2018. Primarily distributed among members of congregations in the diocese, each issue had a circulation of around 10,000 copies.
Catholic newspaper Breeze was forced to be discontinued in 2018.
The Ark was founded in 1994 by a Three-Self church in Nanping, a city in the southeastern province of Fujian. Initially, the newspaper was distributed in the Yanping district of Nanping, with a circulation of about 1,000 copies. Later on, the readership increased to over 100,000 copies, and it was disseminated in over 20 provinces and cities.
The discontinued Protestant newspaper The Ark.
The newspaper was issued all necessary government permits. Regardless, in 2015, the authorities ordered the newspaper to be discontinued, claiming that it was "an illegal publication" and "its circulation too high." Officials even threatened to arrest the pastoral staff if their orders were ignored.

You know what gets a job seeker truly steamed? Clicking on a link for a job posting – and discovering that it's exactly the same job he looked at a few seconds earlier. Same job, different listings = unhappy job seeker.
How does this happen? Well, any job board that allows 3rd party recruiters to post their open positions runs the risk of duplicate postings. Let's say that ABC Company has an listing for a mechanical engineer. The HR person posts it on their company site and also drops an email to three favored recruiters announcing the opening. The recruiters turn around and post the job under their own accounts – because after all, if they can get it filled, they'll receive a handsome commission.
So what's the problem? After all, the HR person just tripled their chances of a response by encouraging the recruiters to post the job separately. In fact, if the recruiters are using different job boards, the position could get even more exposure.
But the job seeker is unhappy. His or her anger will have two likely targets: the job board, and the company.
The company may not care if the job seeker is unhappy – after all, the market is tight and there are (in general) more seekers than jobs (although I would argue that companies should care about their reputation with job seekers, as they want to attract the best talent).
The job board should care quite a bit about making the job seeker unhappy. After all, quality candidates are the lifeblood of a successful site. But eliminating duplicate postings is tough. If recruiters purchase the right to post jobs, why can't they post a listing that a client has given them?
Another twist – when an aggregator like Indeed or SimplyHired serves up duplicate job postings, what can anyone do? Between cross posting by the job board itself, recruiters, and (occasionally) use of multiple job boards by the company, it's not unusual to see the job listed in search results many times.
This may be a problem that is never resolved – but both companies and job boards should be aware that it creates negative attitudes toward them on the part of the job seeker.
Good article.. A common complaint even I have expetrienced. I've become atuned to even guessing the correct company the agency has poasted the jobs for.. I would like to provide some transparency for candidates using a Job reference number but most agencies are very cagey about posting the details of the actual employer.. Ive considered a Job ref number that but these can be fudged..I'd like to know the answer too. Was thinking or have a posting criteria so granular that candidates can easily pick duplicates ie Location, Industry Sector, Salary/Rate, etc..
One way my medical sales job board has limited duplicate postings compared to my largest competitor is to not allow medical companies to directly post jobs on my board, http://www.gorillamedicalsales.com . My board is strictly limited to recruiter postings. In this way, I can avoid having a recruiter post a job in medical sales right next to the same job posted by the hiring company.
I personally don't see it being a huge deal deal because the number of duplicate ads is relatively small. It may be a minor annoyance to candidates but I'm sure that most simply overlook the issue. It's competitive out there and a single job can be advertised by a multiple agencies, etc so that's why the industry is the quick and the dead.
So how should duplicated ads be handled?
do you apply only to the company, or do you send the cv off to the recruiter as well?

ANZ first of big four to pass on interest rate cut
ANZ is the first of big four banks to pass on the rate cut. ANZ has again become the first of the big four banks to reduce variable mortgage rates following the Reserve Bank's cash rate cut, this time passing on the full amount. ANZ was widely criticised last month when it passed on just 0.18 percentage points of the RBA's 25 basis point cut, but on Tuesday said it would reduce its variable rates for owner-occupier and investor loans in full from July 12 after the cash rate was cut from 1.25 to 1.0 per cent. "We looked at a number of factors before reaching this decision, including business performance, market conditions and the impact on our customers," ANZ retail boss Mark Hand said. The official cash rate has been trimmed another 25 basis points to now sit at just one per cent – down from 1.25 per cent...
Sydney and Melbourne house prices rise following federal election in sign of property market improvement
Auction clearance rates rose strongly last week following the federal election, led by far stronger performances from the Sydney and Melbourne markets.According to data from CoreLogic, median home prices in Sydney and Melbourne also increased last week.The federal election result, along with likely rate cuts from the RBA and an easing in lending standards from APRA, may have contributed to the recent improvement in conditions in Australia's largest and most expensive housing markets.Further housing-related data in the period ahead will help to determine whether a turning point for the property market is currently underway. Auction clearance rates rose strongly last week following the federal election, led by far stronger performances from the Sydney and Melbourne markets. Prices in both major cities also increased, bucking the trend seen for well over a year. According to CoreLogic, Australia's preliminary combined capitals clearance rate jumped to 62.6%, a sharp improvement on the 57.0% level...
Melbourne's most expensive 1-bedroom apartment lists for $1.8 million
Deep-pocketed buyers on the hunt for prestigious real estate in Melbourne could splash $2 million on a family home in Brighton — or they could sign the deed to a one-bedroom inner-city flat for around the same price. Melbourne's most expensive one-bedroom apartment has hit the market, set to clock a price record if it sells near its guide of $1.8 million. But for anyone shocked by such a pricetag hanging from a one-bedroom flat, it is worth noting the listing follows a Sydney one-bedder with just a sliding door to the bedroom – essentially a studio apartment – that was recently asking $2.1 million north of the border. The one bedroom in what could be Melbourne's most expensive one-bedroom flat.

Item# OP2448
OP2448. DIE WALKURE, Live Performance, 27 July, 1961, w.Kempe Cond. Bayreuth Festival Ensemble; Regine Crespin, Astrid Varnay, Fritz Uhl, Jerome Hines, Regina Resnik, etc. (E.U.) 3-Myto 00293. 8014399502047 - 0801439902930
CRITIC REVIEWS:
"To be sure, one of the remarkable assets of Crespin's singing was the power and size of the voice. She could compete on even grounds with Nilsson when they sang together in DIE WALKURE, and with Corelli in WERTHER.
But there was much, much more to Crespin than sheer visceral impact. She sang with subtlety, a variety of colors depending on the demands of the music and the dramatic moment, and always with real involvement. Her singing was filled with nuance, with a wide range of dynamic shading, and was always founded on a beautiful glowing tone."
- Henry Fogel, Program Notes, Immortal Performances Set [V2547]
"Régine Crespin, the French operatic soprano and later mezzo-soprano, one of the most important vocal artists to emerge from France in the decades after World War II was widely admired for the elegance, warmth and subtlety of her singing, especially in the French and German operatic repertories. Early on, the natural carrying power of her voice seemed to point to a career as a dramatic soprano. Indeed, she made her 1950 debut at the regional company in Mulhouse, France, singing Elsa in Wagner's LOHENGRIN. Yet Ms Crespin's singing was imbued with nuanced phrasing, telling attention to text, creamy lyricism and lovely high pianissimos. While she had an enveloping voice, she always seemed to keep something in reserve, leading some listeners to sense a touch too much French restraint. But most opera buffs valued Ms Crespin for the effortless richness, lyrical nobility and subtle colorings of her singing. She was also a sophisticated actress whose Junoesque presence commanded attention. Ms Crespin's Metropolitan Opera debut came in 1962 as the Marschallin in DER ROSENKAVALIER, directed by the soprano Lotte Lehmann, who had been the most renowned interpreter of the role. Reviewing Ms Crespin's portrayal, the NEW YORK TIMES critic Harold C. Schonberg wrote that she gave 'a simply beautiful performance' [enriched with]'all kinds of delicate shading'. But when she let out her full voice, he added, it 'soared over the orchestra and all over the house - big, confident and beautiful'. In 1967 she sang Sieglinde to Birgit Nilsson's Brünnhilde at the Met, with Herbert von Karajan conducting a production that he also directed. Reviewing that performance for THE TIMES of London, the critic Conrad L. Osborne wrote that 'Nilsson and Crespin spurring each other on make for the sort of thing one remembers with a chill for years'. In later life Ms Crespin won wide recognition as a voice teacher. During some 1995 master classes at the Mannes College of Music in New York, the students were enraptured not only by her insightful critiques, but by her insider tales about opera stars."
- Anthony Tommasini, THE NEW YORK TIMES, 6 July, 2007
"[Crespin] was surely one of the greatest French singers of the 20th Century; in fact, one of the great singers on records, one whose art goes well beyond the merely vocal. Beyond its size, [her voice] had a beautiful shimmer about it, a glowing quality present in all registers."
- Henry Fogel, FANFARE, March/April, 2005
"The dramatic soprano Astrid Varnay was born into an operatic family: her mother was a coloratura soprano and her father a spinto tenor. The year in which she was born they founded the Opera Comique Theatre in Kristiania, Sweden, although they were both born in Hungary, and they managed it until 1921.The family then moved to Argentina and later to New York, where her father died in 1924. Her mother subsequently remarried another tenor, and the young Astrid, after studying to be a pianist, decided at the age of eighteen to become a singer. She worked intensively, first with her mother and then with the Metropolitan Opera conductor and coach Hermann Weigert, whom she later married. She made her sensational stage début at the Metropolitan in 1941, substituting at short notice for Lotte Lehmann as Sieglinde in DIE WALKÜRE with no rehearsal. After this triumph, six days later she replaced Helen Traubel in the same opera as Brünnhilde, and her operatic career was effectively launched. She made her Covent Garden début in 1948 and, at the suggestion of Kirsten Flagstad, her Bayreuth Festival début in 1951. She sang every year at Bayreuth for the next seventeen years and at the Met until 1956, when she left following a disagreement with Rudolf Bing. She henceforth concentrated her career on Germany where she was revered, living in Munich. She moved from the dramatic soprano repertoire into that for mezzo-soprano in 1969, and during the 1980s into character parts. She made her last appearance in Munich in 1995, almost fifty-five years after her Metropolitan début. Her brilliant career is well documented in both commercial and unofficial sound recordings."
- David Patmore
"Fritz Uhl was an Austrian operatic tenor, particularly associated with Wagner roles. Born in Matzleinsdorf, near Vienna, he studied in Vienna with Elisabeth Radó, and while still a student toured Holland with an operetta troup. He made his operatic début in Vienna, as Gounod's Faust in 1952, and then sang in Graz (1952-53), in Luzern (1953-54), in Oberhausen (1954-56), in Wuppertal (1956-58). In 1957, he began making guest appearances at the Munich State Opera, the Vienna State Opera, also appearing at the Salzburg Festival and the Bayreuth Festival.
Uhl began his career by singing lyric roles and lighter Wagner roles such as Erik in DER FLIEGENDE HOLLÄNDER, and gradually moved into heldentenor roles such as Tristan, Siegmund, Stolzing, Florestan, Herod, etc. He sang widely in Europe, appearing at the Paris Opéra, La Monnaie in Brussels, the Liceo in Barcelona, the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, the Royal Opera House in London, etc. He was also invited at the San Francisco Opera and the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires.
A forthright singer with a fine voice, he is best known for his recording of TRISTAN UND ISOLDE, opposite Birgit Nilsson, under Georg Solti."
- Ned Ludd
"Regina Resnik won the Metropolitan Opera auditions and débuted with great success at the Met on 6 December, 1944, as a last-minute replacement for Zinka Milanov. The role was Leonora in Verdi's IL TROVATORE and over the years she performed many of opera's most important roles on its most prominent stages, including those of the New York City Opera, the San Francisco Opera, Covent Garden and other European houses. Her best-known roles include Ellen Orford in Britten's PETER GRIMES, Donna Anna and Donna Elvira in Mozart's DON GIOVANNI and the title role in Bizet's CARMEN. Later in her career she performed in musical theater and became a sought-after instructor and opera director. She was known for her strong dramatic skills and impeccable musicianship onstage and for her bold personality offstage. She displayed fearlessness from the beginning. Following the triumph of her first season, Resnik became a leading soprano at the Met, during which time she sang Rosalinde in this English-language production of DIE FLEDERMAUS, a delightful tour-de-force!
In 1942, she made her début at the New Opera Company of New York after being given 24 hours' notice that she was needed to substitute. Two years later, she made a similar last-minute substitution in her début at the Metropolitan Opera as Leonora, in IL TROVATORE. Each time she impressed. 'All things considered, Miss Resnik's début was an auspicious one', a review of her Metropolitan début in THE NEW YORK TIMES said. 'She has a strong, clear soprano, which, though occasionally marred by a tremolo, is both agile enough for the florid passages allotted to Leonora and forceful enough for the dramatic ones'.
Ms. Resnik became a much-admired soprano and toured widely through the mid-1950s, when she and others began to notice that her voice was darkening. A friend, the baritone Giuseppe Danise, helped persuade her to change, telling her he believed she had always been a mezzo. 'It was the biggest gamble of my life, when I decided over two tumultuous years that perhaps I was not a soprano after all', she told The Times in 1967. 'There were many opinions: I was a soprano with low notes, or mezzo with high notes'. The gamble paid off, she said, and it ultimately provided her with better roles, including some of her most notable, as Carmen, Klytämnestra in ELEKTRA, Mistress Quickly in FALSTAFF and the Countess in PIQUE DAME. 'I have really run the gamut', she added, emphatic that she had not lost her upper register. 'And my range is exactly the same today. Not one note higher or lower. But I was happier in the depth of my voice than in its height'.
Ms. Resnik graduated from James Monroe High School in the Bronx and studied music education at Hunter College, graduating in 1942.
'She was a totally American original', said F. Paul Driscoll, the editor in chief of OPERA NEWS. 'She was always very proud of being educated in the United States and beginning her career in the United States'. Mr. Driscoll emphasized Ms. Resnik's resilience, particularly under Rudolf Bing, the sometimes autocratic general manager of the Met, for much of her career. 'She embraced the opportunities she was given, and whether or not Mr. Bing thought they were star parts, she made them star parts', Mr. Driscoll said. 'Directors loved her, conductors loved her, and the audience loved her'."

"The American bass Jerome Hines had a long and distinguished career at the Metropolitan Opera singing a wide variety of roles with true consistency of voice and style. He appeared with the company for more than 40 years from 1946. An imposing figure - he was 6ft 6in tall - he had a voluminous bass to match his stature.
His charismatic presence made him ideal for the many roles demanding a big personality. It was thus hardly surprising that Sarastro in THE MAGIC FLUTE, Gounod's Mephistopheles, the high priest Ramfis in AIDA, the Grand Inquisitor in DON CARLOS, Boris Godunov, and King Mark in TRISTAN UND ISOLDE were among his leading roles.
Although always faithful to the Met, Hines made many forays abroad. In 1953, he undertook Nick Shadow, with Glyndebourne, at the Edinburgh festival, in the first British performances of Stravinsky's THE RAKE'S PROGRESS. That led to engagements in leading houses in Europe and south America, and eventually to Bayreuth, where he sang Gurnemanz, King Mark and Wotan (1958-63). In 1958, he made his La Scala debut in the title part of Handel's HERCULES, and, in 1961, he first appeared at the San Carlo in Naples, in the title role of Boito's MEFISTOFELE. His Boris Godunov, at the Bolshoi in Moscow in 1962 was, by all accounts, a deeply impressive portrayal.
He was fortunate to arrive at the Met just as the opera house was in need of replacements for the great Ezio Pinza, who had decided to appear in SOUTH PACIFIC. Unlike his distinguished predecessor, Hines could also sing the German and Russian repertory, in addition to Italian and French. In all, his innate musicianship stood him in good stead. Most of his discs derived from live performances. They reveal a sterling voice, a refined style, consisting of a burnished tone, a fine line and exemplary diction, although he never seems to have have been a very profound interpreter.
Hines was both a deeply religious person and a good writer. He combined these qualities in his own opera, I AM THE WAY, a work about Jesus, performed, with Hines as the protagonist, at Philadelphia in 1969. The previous year, he had published his autobiography, THIS IS MY STORY, THIS IS MY SONG, but his most lasting volume was GREAT SINGERS ON GREAT SINGING (1982), in which he made discerning comments on the art of many colleagues.
Hines' later appearances befitted his advancing years: he was Arkel, the elderly grandfather in PELLEAS ET MELISANDE (Rome, 1984), and the blind father in Mascagni's IRIS (Newark, 1989). His last stage appearance was as Sarastro, in New Orleans in 1998, when he was 77."

"One of the great unsung conductors of the middle twentieth century, Rudolf Kempe enjoyed a strong reputation in England but never quite achieved the international acclaim that he might have had with more aggressive management, promotion, and recording. Not well enough known to be a celebrity but too widely respected to count as a cult figure, Kempe is perhaps best remembered as a connoisseur's conductor, one valued for his strong creative temperament rather than for any personal mystique. He studied oboe as a child, performed with the Dortmund Opera, and, in 1929, barely out of his teens, he became first oboist of the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra. His conducting début came in 1936, at the Leipzig Opera; this performance of Lortzing's DER WILDSCHÜTZ was so successful that the Leipzig Opera hired him as a répétiteur. Kempe served in the German army during World War II, but much of his duty was out of the line of fire; in 1942 he was assigned to a music post at the Chemnitz Opera. After the war, untainted by Nazi activities, he returned to Chemnitz as director of the opera (1945-1948), and then moved on to the Weimar National Theater (1948-1949). From 1949 to 1953 he served as general music director of the Staatskapelle Dresden, East Germany's finest orchestra. He then moved to the identical position at the Bavarian State Opera in Munich, 1952-1954, succeeding the young and upwardly mobile Georg Solti. During this period he was also making guest appearances outside of Germany, mainly in opera: in Vienna (1951), at Covent Garden (1953), and at the Metropolitan Opera (1954), to mention only the highlights. Although he conducted Wagner extensively, especially at Covent Garden, Kempe did not make his Bayreuth début until 1960. As an opera conductor he was greatly concerned with balance and texture, and singers particularly appreciated his efforts on their behalf. Kempe made a great impression in England, and in 1960 Sir Thomas Beecham named him associate conductor of London's Royal Philharmonic. Kempe became the orchestra's principal conductor upon Beecham's death the following year, and, after the orchestra was reorganized, served as its artistic director from 1963 to 1975. He was also the chief conductor of the Zürich Tonhalle Orchestra from 1965 to 1972, and of the Munich Philharmonic from 1967 until his death in 1976. During the last year of his life he also entered into a close association with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. Interpretively, Kempe was something of a German Beecham. He was at his best -- lively, incisive, warm, expressive, but never even remotely self-indulgent -- in the Austro-Germanic and Czech repertory. Opera lovers prize his versions of LOHENGRIN, DIE MEISTERSINGER, and ARIADNE AUF NAXOS. His greatest recorded legacy, accomplished during the last four or five years of his life, was the multi-volume EMI set of the orchestral works and concertos of Richard Strauss, performed with the highly idiomatic Dresden Staatskapelle. These recordings were only intermittently available outside of Europe in the LP days, but in the 1990s EMI issued them on nine compact discs."

The design basis for the three-story signature building was to integrate a new, upscale building into the Medical School Campus to raise the level of the School's appearance and functionality and to maintain accreditation. Collaborative Design Studio worked with the Design Architect, Steering Committee, and Medical School staff during the entire design process. The campus is rectilinear, but this building is irregular and curved which adds richness to the campus. It's scale and colors complement the existing environment.
The facility increased awareness for the image of the Medical School while providing state-of-the-art learning environments. Due to the success of the Design/Project, we were asked to speak at the National Library of Medicine Design Symposium in Washington, D.C., in 2003.


How to fetch file content using IRestClient?
What query should I use to fetch content of a specific file (/test/.project)?
1. Re: How to fetch file content using IRestClient?
The REST service does allow you to query content, and as you show it returns the result set in the form of a JSON response. So, your question about how to get the file content is a bit of a loaded question.
First of all, the location of each node is given in the JSON response via the "jcr:path" property, and you can easily turn this into a resource URL by appending the path to the "item" resource URL (see Section 11.2.1 of the Reference Guide). You can then obtain each node via a GET request with these URLs. This will return the full JSON representation of the node, with any binary content encoded using Base64. (JSON doesn't really address binary data well.) Thus, using the REST service is not terribly conducive to working with files and folders. If you have any suggestions for improving this, please let us know.
If you are working with files and folders, you could transform the paths in your JSON result set into WebDAV URLs, and could very easily get the content of the file through WebDAV. See Section 11.1 of the Reference Guide for details on configuring the WebDAV server. Any WebDAV Java client library should work.
BTW, none of the query languages are capable of returning binary properties in the result set. This is not required by the spec (and in some of the languages it is not permitted), and in almost all cases (really, in all cases except for one or two records) would perform badly anyway.
2. Re: How to fetch file content using IRestClient?
I just logged two features/enhancements: include resource URL for each node in the result set (MODE-887); and make the RESTful client much more useful and usable (MODE-888). If you want to see something in particular in the REST client library, please add a comment to MODE-888.
3. Re: How to fetch file content using IRestClient?
You can then obtain each node via a GET request with these URLs. This will return the full JSON representation of the node, with any binary content encoded using Base64.
The above worked just fine. Thanks a lot for the quick answer. Keep up the good work!

Freeport Area School Board is set to borrow an additional $16 million needed for the new middle school, building repairs and a possible new athletic complex.
The debt, first discussed in August, is broken into a $6 million, fixed-rate loan that would be obtained next month. The $10 million bond issue wouldn't be taken out until 2015.
Both amounts need to be voted on now to comply with state law regulating how districts can borrow money. The district has plans to repay the debt in 18 years.
The board expects to vote Wednesday.
A portion of both amounts will go toward the $33 million middle school being built behind the high school on Route 356 in Buffalo Township.
The rest would be used for other projects such as roof and building repairs, particularly at the high school.
Projects there include roof replacement, a new boiler system, new windows and reconfiguration of the entrance to make it more secure.
"This is a solid school; it's just those little things," said school board president Dan Lucovich.
The board anticipates that some of the money for high school renovations will come from savings due to low interest rates.
Each year, the district budgets 4 percent for interest. By securing a low rate now, the district will have an annual surplus that can be invested in building renovations, Lucovich said.
Up to $3.5 million of the loan could go toward renovating existing athletic facilities or building a new athletic complex.
The district plans a public presentation for Wednesday, Nov. 12, on options the board is considering. VEBH Architects will do the presentation.
Options include renovating the existing football field in Freeport, upgrading the practice field near the high school in Buffalo Township or building a whole new athletic complex near the new junior high. A new complex would include football, lacrosse and soccer.
"We haven't made any decision one way or another," Lucovich said.
However, he added that the board isn't sure it wants to invest in the field at the junior high in Freeport because the district doesn't own it.
The district rents the field from Freeport Borough for about $15,500 a year. The borough maintains it.
"It doesn't make sense to invest in something you don't own," he said.

The announcement was made with a tongue-in-cheek video that features Shaq and Carnival President Christine Duffy but omits one minor detail: CFO stands for "Chief Fun Officer," personifying the cruise line's newest brand campaign, "Choose Fun," which launched this month.
Carnival Cruise Line is the largest brand in the Carnival Corporation portfolio with a fleet of 25 ships designed to deliver fun and memorable vacation experiences at a great value. It is the world's most popular cruise line carrying five million guests a year and catering to a wide consumer demographic, appealing to families, couples, singles and seniors. Carnival carries more children and military personnel than any other cruise line. In spring 2018, the 133,500-ton Carnival Horizon will debut as the 26th ship in the fleet.


Ducati offers an accessory pack that includes all the comfort that makes even the most demanding long-ride a truly pleasurable experience. The comfort-plus seat, the tank bag and the Roadster headlight fairing give the most anti-conventional cruiser of all time the ideal travel setup.

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) For the Boston Bruins, Ryan Spooner could not have picked a better time to get his first NHL goal.
Spooner scored with 2:14 left in overtime and the Bruins defeated the New Jersey Devils 3-2 Friday night to win for only the second time in nine games (2-5-2).
Spooner, playing in his eighth game this season, scored on a snap shot from the left boards on a counter attack. David Pastrnak made the cross-ice pass and Spooner beat Cory Schneider high with the puck deflecting off the stick of Devils defenseman Adam Larsson.
The puck was in Spooner's locker after the game.
Daniel Paille and Pastrnak scored for Boston, Niklas Svedberg had 29 saves starting for the ailing Tuukka Rask, who had played in the last 18 games for Boston.
Travis Zajac and Jordin Tootoo tallied for New Jersey. Schneider made 31 saves as the Devils lost their second straight and fell nine points behind Boston in the race for the last wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.
The Bruins, who swept the three-game season series, are four points ahead of idle Florida for the final wild-card position.
Svedberg got the Bruins to overtime by stopping Martin Havlat with just over a minute to play and then making a pad save on Mike Cammalleri in the closing seconds. He also stopped Scott Gomez in the overtime from the left circle.
New Jersey rallied from the two-goal deficit by scoring twice in a 2:09 span in the third period.
Chris Kelly helped the Devils get started, picking up a hooking penalty. Less than a minute later, Jacob Josefson sent a pass to Adam Henrique near the crease and it hit off his stick to Zajac, who broke a 15-game drought with a shot into an open net.
Then a turnover by defenseman Dougie Hamilton was intercepted by Cammalleri. He carried into the Bruins' zone, cut across the crease and sent a back pass to Tootoo for a shot into an open net for his sixth goal.
The Devils seemed out of the game early in the third period when Pastrnak scored his seventh by putting in his own rebound at 1:40, shortly after a penalty to New Jersey defenseman Mark Fraser expired.
Schneider complained, insisting Kelly interfered with him. However, the officials felt the forward was pushed into the crease by a New Jersey player.
Boston had gotten on the scoreboard in the first period on a bang-bang play. Paille passed from center ice on the right boards into the left corner. New Jersey defenseman Adam Larsson was pressured by Carl Soderberg and had his pass up the boards intercepted by Loui Eriksson. He passed to a wide-open Paille for a slam-dunk goal before Schneider could react.
It was Paille's second goal in as many games since returning after being benched for two games following a 36-game goal drought.
Svedberg, who shut the Devils out 3-0 on Jan. 8 when he faced only 14 shots, was at his best in the latter half of the second period when the Devils' offense woke up. His best save was a point-blank stop on Cammalleri on a shot set up by big hit behind the net by Tootoo.
NOTES: Boston is 22-1-2 in games it takes the lead into the third period. ... With Rask out, the Bruins recalled goaltender Jeremy Smith from Providence to back up Svedberg. He has never played an NHL game. ... Devils defensemen Fraser and Jon Merrill played in their 200th and 100th NHL games, respectively. ... The trade of Jaromir Jagr opened a spot in the lineup for Havlat, who had sat out five straight. ... Boston C Gregory Campbell missed his second straight game with an upper-body injury.

Weekly Media Round up
Keynote address to UN Human Rights Council:
Speech – New Zealand Government
It is an honour to be here this morning as the first New Zealand Minister to present to the Human Rights Council.Hon Amy Adams
Minister of Justice
Keynote address to UN Human Rights Council
31st Session, Human Rights Council,
United Nations, Geneva
(Delivered 11.45am, local Geneva time)
Thank you, Mr President,
It is an honour to be here this morning as the first New Zealand Minister to present to the Human Rights Council.
Round-the-clock emergency support for DV victims:
Tunstall Healthcare, Australasia's leading connected care provider, has collaborated with Women's Refuge New Zealand to expand support to women affected by family violence through a customised 24-hour emergency monitoring service.
The Women's Refuge Whanau Protect National Home Safety Service provides nationwide support and resources for family violence victims to continue to live in their own homes, free from violence.
Domestic violence: children need to know it isn't about them:
OPINION: Every parent's natural instinct is to protect their child. I think most parents try to hide domestic violence from kids — ensure the fighting happens in another room or once the kids are in bed — and hope that is protection enough.
Kids notice violence, even kids who are very young. A child can recognise an atmospheric shift in the home and feel the tension. They know when something scary is about to happen, they can feel that change in the pit of their stomach, much like an adult abuse victim does.
Defence aims to tackle 'sexist' culture:
A rape victim who pushed for changes to the way the New Zealand Defence Force deals with sexual complaints wants them dealt with outside of the services.
The Defence Force yesterday unveiled Operation Respect, its plan for reducing sexual violence within the armed forces, after two years of research by rape and family violence specialist Dr Kim McGregor.
Karina Andrews had her statutory name suppression lifted so that she could speak out about the sexual abuse her father, a former air force sergeant, committed.
Two new public service targets to measure family violence and public violence:
Two new measures to record incidents of violence in private and public settings, have been set by the Government in its latest release of public service results.
It comes as the latest release of figures shows a stagnation in some areas of crime, and a small spike in violent crime, between last year's June and September quarters.
Women's Refuge comments on Government's plans to measure:
"Measuring violence within the home is an important step in quantifying domestic and family violence in this country," says Women's Refuge Chief Executive Dr Ang Jury.
Dr Jury is commenting on a recent announcement by Justice Minister Amy Adams about the Justice Sector Better Public Service measurement of crime.
Violence reports for judges could roll out:
A piloted programme giving judges more information about a defendant's history of family violence at bail hearings is set to be extended.
The programme has been tested in Porirua and Christchurch since last September.
Though that test had not yet been fully evaluated, the judiciary, Ministry of Justice and the Police were talking about other centres taking it up.
Masons take a stand against violence:
New Zealand's largest all-male organisation has pledged to stand against violence towards women - starting in Wairarapa.
The Freemasons of the Hutt Wairarapa District have joined forces with White Ribbon New Zealand, and will lead campaigns to raise awareness of family violence in the community.
Domestic violence charges dropped against NRL great Hazem El Masri:
NRL great Hazem El Masri has vowed to push on with his campaign to curb domestic violence after shrugging off "preposterous" allegations made by an ex-wife.
The decile debate continues:
The NZ Herald today broke a story that the Ministry is still intending to 'abolish' school deciles. Once unpicked, the story is slightly different. Essentially the proposal (whose source is not clear) is to shift from the current 5 indicators (based on the census) to 4 new indicators (measured through data-sharing between government agencies) for the purposes of determining additional school funding to overcome known disadvantage.
Antoine Dixon samurai sword attack victim's book 'graphic':
Antoine Dixon samurai sword attack victim Simonne Butler is warning family ahead of her autobiography's publication that it's "raw and graphic" and "not for nanas".
'A Double Edged Sword - The Simonne Butler Story' is due to be published this year.
It tells how she healed "mind, body, soul and spirit" after she was attacked by her ex-partner, a drug-fuelled Dixon on January 21, 2003.

EHF Arbitration Tribunal President appointed the members of the Inquiry Panel to obtain information and review facts.
The EHF Arbitration Tribunal, the independent legal body within the EHF, initiated proceedings on 27 March 2009 concerning six different cases of alleged attempts of undue influence in EHF competitions.
Currently the first phase of the proceedings is underway with the investigation of facts and gathering of information from individuals, clubs, federations, EHF officials involved in the relevant matches.
In order to handle all proceedings most efficiently, the President of the EHF Arbitration Tribunal, Rui Coelho, has decided to create a panel of five EHF Arbitration Tribunal members. The Inquiry Panel includes Tapio Arponen, Alenka Cuderman, Moshe Herman, Willy Tobler and the Chairman Rui Coelho in order to carry out the first investigation phase in all six cases. The objective of the panel is to obtain all necessary information, review the facts, documents and statements. After the conclusion of this process, the panel shall state whether the cases shall enter the next phase and be decided upon.
Following this procedure, the President of the EHF Arbitration Tribunal will nominate a Final Panel of three EHF Arbitration Tribunal members for each open case to reach a decision.
The EHF wishes to reiterate its commitment to open communication on the matter and will publish regular information on the status of the proceedings.

We need a good backup/restore utility for eCS. It needs to allow backup & restore to internal/external hard drive, and must support JFS and files greater than 2 GB.
It does not need to be free! I would be willing to pay upward to US $100 for such supported application.
I can't use eCs today because apps are missing.
When I used OS2/eCs actively, I used DualStor by IBM as backup, this is the only backup routine I have seen that really works and has an simple gui. DualStor is working also today in eCs, problem is emergency restore does not work due to some dlls and many new backupmedia is not supported. I'm quite focused on backup, yet today I have not seen a backup program/rutine as good as DualStor. I think it's awayable at hoobs and might be it's possible to get a deal with IBM so someone can modernize it for eCs? It's small, just an floppy, it works, rexx scripting, easy to use, few bugs. Compared to backup programs for windos to day, DualStor is superior, as OS2/eCs still is.
Now time has changed. The standard user doesn't seem to have SCSI tape drives in most cases and people are shifting to use CD/DVD or just USB/MSD or simple "hard disk" drives for backup. This makes it easy to come up with even a rexx-based solution. Indeed, it is something I am intersted in a) using and b) perhaps developing.
While most of the source/target and file/directory selection and processing is pretty "easy", the hard part is in details with EAs and the local "catalog" management. Configuration and scheduling with backup methodologies (incremnetal, full,... etc.) can be solved too. The main "hard" things in my mind is: Restore (not even to speak of disaster recovery).
All this can of course be determined and solved. We just need to sit together and think about requirements.
What's your wishlist? Ideas? Suggestions?
I'm glad someone has the same experience as I.
As said before, DualStor works also today with old media. Much old apps for OS2 works as DualStor but not fully because of old DLLs and drivers. it should be easy to modernize them to functional software. I'm not for doing things from scratch if not necessary. I'm not a programmer, but I can understand that they will have more fun doing it from scratch. But I don't thing this is the time. So they who have the knowledge and expertise has to listen to us who are users - What do we need and what is easy and fast to get up running up to date.
Functional Backup is one of the most important apps to get working first.
The problem simply is that you need access to the source code for maintaining a program/driver/dll. As far as I know (and by judging from the failure of various petitions to IBM) we do not have the source codes. So there is NOTHING you can do except doing it all over again.
It could be possible to only create a DLL from scratch, yes, but then you would need to know the parts that are in and are used by the program accessing it. And you would need to make it (the new DLL) 100% "interface compatible", else the application will not work in the intended way... if at all.
So it's not just to please me. I am afraid we don't have any other chance than doing something new.
Don't you think IBM will release necessary information or do you know?
First, it would take them around 2 weeks to find someone who knows what the question is about.
That person would try to see if they still have the source code somewhere.
Then they will calculate what it takes (time,money,skills) to change the IP agreements for DualStor to -let's say- GPL.
Then they will check if any other software using these DLLs can be impacted to their disadvantage.
Look at all the steps mentioned and imagine the effort that it takes (time, money, people, skills,...) Do you think IBM is willing to take all these efforst in order to make something available "for free" (meaning: IBM gets no money for this).
And this is only under the preconditions that they know what DualStor is and have people with the skills available. If there is a chance of IBM having to hire contractors for investigating this - forget it. Too expensive.
I used to use DualStor with an old Conner floppy-controller-connected tape drive. When I decided I had too much data to backup for their 120MB capacity and looked into the media cost of Travan, it was plain that it was too high and that the number of cartridge changes would still be inconvenient.
That's when I bought a refurbished SCSI DDS-2 autoloader (I was already using a SCSI hard disk) and switched to BackAgain/2. I am now using a DDS-4 autoloader (up to 8 tapes each holding 20GB without compression), bought for a song on eBay, with BackAgain/2000, which handles EAs, open files, and networking security information just fine (now abandonware, but demo versions all over the place and registration keys available without looking too hard). The last lot of brand-new IBM 20GB tapes cost $3.50 each. PCI-bus SCSI cards are cheap.
Now time has changed. The standard user doesn't seem to have SCSI tape drives in most cases and people are shifting to use CD/DVD or just USB/MSD or simple "hard disk" drives for backup. This makes it easy to come up with even a rexx-based solution. Indeed, it is something I am interested in a) using and b) perhaps developing.
Hard disks are too fragile for reliable backup -- no more reliable than the "working" media. Typically they are connected to the same controller as the "working" media, so the backup could be as corrupted as the original. (My tape drive and backup software are in a separate machine on the network, so I don't have the potential problem of a controller failure corrupting both backup and original.) External hard disks usually are not connected to the same controller, but they are subject to mechanical shocks that can render them and the data they hold useless; don't ask me how I know.
Even double-sided DVDs have a capacity too low for serious backup of large amounts of data.
If you really want to use hard disks (either internal or external) for backup, I suggest using RAR. And you could still burn the resulting RAR archives to DVD.
