Q: Marklogic JSON document field index I have a ML database with all json documents.. I am having an issue with field creation for this documents.. Say I have a document
{
    "id": "1452016",
    "name": "ALEXA488",
    "identifyingInfo": {
        "preparation": {
            "chemicalConjugations": [{
                "name": "ALEXA 488"
            }]
        }
    }
}

I created a field for top level json element name ..
{
 "field-name": "concept_name",
 "field-path": [
  {
    "path": "/name",
    "weight": 1
  }
  ],
  "word-lexicon" :["http://marklogic.com/collation/en/S1"]
}

I created a field range index as well on this field..
Now when I do the search like this
xquery version "1.0-ml";
import module namespace search = "http://marklogic.com/appservices/search" at "/MarkLogic/appservices/search/search.xqy";

let $search := ' (concept_name:(*ALEXA*))'

let $options :=
   <options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search">
    <constraint name="collection">
        <collection prefix=""/>
    </constraint>
    <constraint name="concept_name">
        <word>
            <field name="concept_name" collation="http://marklogic.com/collation/en/S1"/>
        </word>
    </constraint>
    <term>
        <term-option>case-insensitive</term-option>
        <term-option>punctuation-insensitive</term-option>
        <term-option>whitespace-insensitive</term-option>
        <term-option>wildcarded</term-option>
    </term>
    <return-facets>false</return-facets>
    <return-values>false</return-values>
    <return-constraints>false</return-constraints>
    <return-frequencies>false</return-frequencies>
    <return-qtext>false</return-qtext>
    <search-option>format-json</search-option>
    <search-option>score-simple</search-option>
</options>

let $start := 1
let $page-length :=1

 let $result := search:search($search, $options, $start, $page-length)

return $result

The search is matching the top level name and also identifyingInfo/preparation/chemicalConjugations/name..
What should be the field path, so that it only matches the top level json element, in this case name ?

A: Your field path looks fine.  You can check that with
cts:field-value-match("concept_name", "*")

But you're trying to use wildcards.  Did you enable "trailing wildcard searches" on your field?  Do you also want "one/two/three character searches" enabled?

A: I got this to work. Replace your constraint with:
<constraint name="concept_name">
  <value>
    <field name="concept_name" />
  </value>
</constraint>

In your field, turn on field value searches and trailing wildcard searches.
I created three docs in a database; one just like your sample, one that had "ALEXA" only in /name, and one that had "ALEXA" only in the other name. My test correctly found the two documents.

Bohemian pull out of the Irn-Bru Cup citing 'logistical nightmare'
The Irish side were due to face East Fife in the quarter-finals

The Challenge Cup (Image: SNS Group)
Irish side Bohemian have pulled out of the Irn-Bru Challenge Cup, giving East Fife a bye to the semi-finals.
The Dubliners were due to face the Fifers on Saturday, but the match had to be postponed due to bad weather.
Given East Fife's progression in the Scottish Cup, as well as the imminent start of the Irish league season, there is no suitable date to play the game.
As a result, Bohemian have withdrawn from the competition.

"We are grateful to Bohemian FC and to the FAI for their cooperation and assistance in ensuring the smooth conclusion of this year's IRN-BRU Cup," SPFL Chief Executive Neil Doncaster said in a statement.
"We look forward to welcoming our Irish friends to next season's competition."
The decision to include teams from other countries was already controversial, with the possibility of a Scottish cup competition without any Scottish side in the final.
Ross County will now face East Fife in the semi-final, ensuring that won't happen, but Bohemian's decision to pull out is likely to bring more scrutiny on the new format.
Why there's no room for Scottish Premiership colt teams in the lower leagues
"The postponement of Saturday's quarter-final against East Fife at Dalymount Park presented both clubs and both associations with a logistical nightmare,"Bohemian FC spokesperson Luke O'Riordan said.
"We deeply regret having to withdraw from the competition but feel that, given that the semi-final is due to take place in 11 days' time, the logistical and time constraints involved in trying to reschedule our quarter-final tie before then was an impossible task and leave us with no other option."
"With little scope to find an alternative date that suited both clubs and following discussions between our club's board and the first-team management about the distracting effect ongoing disruption could have on preparations for the new league season, we agreed that we have to prioritise that and thus regrettably withdraw from the tournament.
"As a club, we have been grateful for our inclusion in the IRN-BRU Cup despite the logistical challenges it has presented. Our supporters have enjoyed the camaraderie of the occasions of visiting Peterhead and of hosting Sutton United in previous rounds. These were memorable and unique days for our players and fans alike and it is of deep regret that Saturday did not provide us with yet another one against East Fife. We wish them all the best for the remainder of the competition."

Greece: Helena Paparizou releases "Haide"
Helena Paparizou working on her 9th music album.
After releasing the song "Fiesta" for summer 2016, the former Eurovision star, Helena Papaprizou continue to work on a new album which is going to be launched later this year. On the 28th of April, she released her new summer song called "Haide", her first collaboration with Phoebus.
Here, you can watch the English version of her fresh summer song.


A month of soup recipes in New England would not be complete without a chowder recipe. It had always been easier to open up a can of Snow's instead of making it from scratch. That is until my mother made her version of corn chowder. Her ingredients were no different -- it must have been the love she added. My husband and I have a running joke. After years of bragging about how good Mom's chowder was he got her to promise him that she would make some just for him. Well, it never did happen and yet I still continue to rank her recipe among the best. Could I make him the chowder to prove it? Of course I could but it wouldn't be the same kind of love. Some things can't be replicated.
I make this all in one pan. There is no reason to create more of a mess than is necessary. I always buy my corn at the peak of the season and take it off the cob (cooked or uncooked) and freeze it. I also have been known to leave the peel on the potatoes or substitute a little cream for a little of the milk.
Cook the salt pork slowly in a deep pan until the fat has melted and the pieces are brown. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat, add the onion, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the potatoes and 3 cups of water, cover, and cook until they are fork tender. Add the corn and milk and cook for 5 more minutes. Add butter, salt and pepper. Enjoy. Simple!


1. YOU ARE NOT BROKEN. You're actually incredibly resilient and powerful. You are beautiful and skillful at being who you are. You are a HUGE contribution to many people, and you owe NOTHING to them for this, nor do THEY owe YOU anything. No flower ever looks despairingly down to their leaves and thinks: WHAT A WASTE OF SPACE I HAVE BECOME. Perhaps your best tool is to surround yourself with the flowers of your world, so they can mirror your goodness, and your WHOLENESS, back to you.
2. YOU ARE NOT A LOST CAUSE. You are a work in progress, no MORE so or LESS so than I am, than your parents are/were, than your kids are, etc. And, actually, if I were to build on the first point here, you are ACTUALLY a massively impressive masterpiece in progress. As such, you will never know if the steps you take are the RIGHT ones. There will never be such a certain thing as certainty. And so, you can't say, definitively, that you are unlovable, or worthless, or unforgivable. An artist never really knows if the brush stoke or line is going to be more impactful than the erasure mark. We JUMP. And we are ALWAYS doing our BEST- at every moment.

Our First-Ever Limited Edition Water Towers August 22 2016
For more than a year, our product roadmap has grown — and at the top of that list has been a little something artistic. Which is why we're so thrilled to announce that we've finally achieved this little goal: limited edition silkscreened water towers!
The first two of these towers will debut at our New York Comic Con booth (#114) this October, and we couldn't be happier to have partnered with legendary street artist Chris RWK and fan-favorite illustrator Lou Pimentel, who've created original work for these towers. Each tower will be artist-signed and available for a short time.
At Comic Con, these Medium-sized towers will be $45. But during a special pre-launch sale, the towers are 20% off — that's just $36 each, plus shipping. To receive 20% off, orders must be placed on our site by Friday, August 26th.

Madagascar is well-known as the Land of the Lemurs. A mammalian species endemic to the island nation, they have evolved to fill many different ecological niches. Endemic means that they can only be found in Madagascar and nowhere else in the world. Most people don't know this, but there are an estimated 99 different species and sub-species of lemurs. All of the species are rare and some of them are critically endangered as there are only a few hundred of them left in the world.
While sailing, we found ourselves in the remote Ramada Archipelago where one of the critically endangered species is found. Of course, we had to go in search of it! Hiking along mosquito infested forests (seriously, I still have scars…) was probably not my favorite but lured by the delicious mangoes that were in full season at the time, we were able to catch a few glimpses of this special animal. One of the coolest things about the blue eyed lemur (Eulemur flavifrons) is that the male and the female each have a different colour. The male is black and the female is reddish blonde and both sexes have amazing bright blue eyes.
We went sailing in Madagascar through the excellent tour company ALEFA (http://www.pirogue-madagascar.com/). I highly recommend them. The owners have been living in Madagascar for decades and love to share the culture and offbeat destination through culturally appropriate, adventure-loving tours that range from 2-10 days.
You never cease to surprise. What a feast of lemurs, and what eyes. I was charmed by them from a distance in Warsaw zoo, but this is a totally different experience, a melée of mosquitoes (which I abhor), mangoes and lemurs ((which you might say I adore).
A request. I send frequent postcards made with Touchnote to my Polish twin grandchildren. Could I use a few of these images on postcards? Not a commercial proposition. Just two cards. I hope I'm not being presumptuous asking.


I have noticed this flag of Dutch Language Union (Nederlanse taalunie). It is organization for cultural and economic cooperation of dutch-speaking countries. Nederlanse taalunie has three members: Netherlands, Suriname and Flanders. Flag is white with dark blue emblem derived from stylized letters n, t, u.

Number of councillors in Tendring could be halved
Will Lodge
Published: 8:42 AM December 14, 2015
Town Hall, Clacton - Credit: Contributed
The Boundary Commission is to carry out a review into the future of Tendring District Council – which could see the number of councillors halved.
Talks have begun between the authority and the Local Government Boundary Commission for England to consider ward boundaries, and potentially reducing the number of members who sit on the council.
There are currently 60 councillors.
Council leader Neil Stock and Paul Honeywood, cabinet member for housing, had met with the commission earlier this week along with council officers.
Mr Stock said: "A working party involving all political parties will be set up and it will be up to us to propose how the council will run and then how many councillors we should have.
"A figure of 60 is at the extreme end of the scale and we could go down to as low as 30 if we can show a good way of running Tendring."
Mr Honeywood added: "We are now on the commission's programme and there is no going back. We have got to move with this and the start will be with the administration of the council.
"If we do not put forward a good case to the commission then it will make the changes for us."
One councillor, Mary Newton, had put a motion to cabinet for a return to the old committee-style system of running the council.
Members decided that it should be considered as part of the work by the Electoral Review working party, and then reported back to the full council in due course.
The working party will consider all options – including the current cabinet system, going back to a committee system, a hybrid or even an elected mayor.
Elsewhere in Essex Braintree District Council dropped from 60 councillors to 49 at May's elections, while Colchester Borough Council is reducing from 60 to 51 this coming May.

Franks helps Florida win 41-14, end skid vs Florida State
By BOB FERRANTENovember 24, 2018
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — The quarterback who grew up just a few minutes down the road helped Florida halt a five-year losing streak to Florida State, and the Gators ensured the Seminoles will not go to a bowl.
Feleipe Franks had three touchdown passes and No. 13 Florida used a punishing ground attack to end a five-game losing streak to Florida State, defeating the Seminoles 41-14 on Saturday.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida had more on its mind than just running up a big score against Idaho.
Sure the 63-10 final score didn't hurt the No. 15 Gators' bid for a spot in a New Year's Six bowl game, but there was even more than that at stake. This was a game about the future,
Franks quiets home crowd, Florida beats South Carolina 35-31
By MARK LONGNovember 10, 2018
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Feleipe Franks placed his index finger across his lips after both touchdown runs, sending a message to a home crowd that booed him earlier.
After the second one, there was nothing Franks could have done to silence the Florida faithful.
Franks accounted for three touchdowns, including the go-ahead score with a little more than four minutes remaining, and the 19th-ranked Gators rallied to beat South Carolina 35-31 Saturday and end a two-game losing streak.
No. 19 Florida 'might play 2' or more QBs vs South Carolina
By MARK LONGNovember 5, 2018
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Dan Mullen will take a few more days before settling on a starting quarterback against South Carolina.
Feleipe Franks or Kyle Trask will get the nod when the 19th-ranked Gators (6-3, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) host the Gamecocks (5-3, 4-3) on Saturday. Mullen also didn't rule out playing highly touted freshman Emory Jones.
Dan Mullen finding a knack for trick plays at No. 14 Florida
By MARK LONGOctober 7, 2018
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Jump pass. Double pass. Rocker step. Throwback toss. Those are apparently just a glimpse into Dan Mullen's playbook.
The first-year Florida coach has turned to a little trickery to help the 14th-ranked Gators mask their offensive deficiencies.
"Daring Dan" is perfect on the season with them, too.
Trickery, defense help No. 22 Florida edge No. 5 LSU 27-19
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Lucas Krull grew up idolizing Tim Tebow, a left-handed quarterback big enough to play tight end.
So imagine how wide-eyed Krull was when Tebow spoke in the locker room before Florida's game against LSU. Krull was even more star-struck when Tebow congratulated him afterward.

By DAVID BRANDTSeptember 28, 2018
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Coach Dan Mullen's return to Starkville will grab most of the headlines when his Florida Gators travel to face No. 23 Mississippi State on Saturday.
But much more is at stake than an emotional reunion.
Florida (3-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) and Mississippi State (3-1, 0-1) have already stumbled once during league play — both against Kentucky — and now face a game that could eliminate one program from being a surprise contender for an SEC title.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks finally got to see how a jump pass is supposed to look.
Franks scrolled through his phone after the team's season opener, a 53-6 win against overmatched Charleston Southern on Saturday night, and realized he needed to check out two of Tim Tebow's most memorable passes.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback Feleipe Franks insists he has nothing to prove.
Coaches, teammates and close to 90,000 fans at Florida Field on Saturday probably would disagree.
Florida names Feleipe Franks starting QB to open season
Feleipe Franks' mobility landed him the starting quarterback job at Florida.
Coach Dan Mullen named Franks the team's starter to begin the season, saying Monday that his "ability to extend plays, some of his athleticism right now, will give us the best opportunity to win games."
It's not exactly a glowing endorsement for Franks, who will take the first snap when the Gators open against Charleston Southern on Saturday night.

Body of work: Florida strength coach is key to turnaround
By MARK LONGApril 15, 2018
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The most important guy on Florida's sideline Saturday wasn't coach Dan Mullen or quarterback Feleipe Franks.
He didn't wear a headset or have a play-calling sheet. He didn't touch the football or get in the huddle.
He was hardly even noticeable at the team's annual spring game at the Swamp. Yet his role the last three months and the next three months is more critical to the program's planned turnaround than anyone else.
Florida State uses 2 defensive TDs to beat Florida 38-22
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — This was far from Florida State-Florida of old.
Two losing teams. Two struggling offenses. Two proud programs essentially playing out the string.

Jacob Pugh and Levonta Taylor turned takeaways into touchdowns and helped the Seminoles beat the Gators for the fifth consecutive year, 38-22 Saturday.
Florida changes QBs again, turning to Franks with Zaire hurt
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida is switching quarterbacks for the fourth time in seven weeks.
Interim coach Randy Shannon said Monday that Feleipe Franks will be the team's starter against UAB, regaining his spot on the depth chart following an injury to Malik Zaire.
Shannon says "that's what we have to go with today."
Zaire started the last two games — both losses — and sustained an apparent left knee injury in a 28-20 loss at South Carolina on Saturday.

Gamecocks swamp Florida, nab seventh win
David CloningerNovember 11, 2017
COLUMBIA – At South Carolina, there's no such thing as an easy win.
Or an ugly one.
The Gamecocks beat Florida 28-20 Saturday, overcoming a rash of mistakes, inconsistent offense and explosive plays from a Gators team that seemed ready to quit four minutes in. USC (7-3, 5-3 SEC) held on like it has for most of its wins this year, the big play this time coming from freshman Jamyest Williams.
Florida to start graduate transfer QB Malik Zaire at Mizzou
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida will start its third quarterback of the season Saturday at Missouri.
Interim coach Randy Shannon announced Thursday that graduate transfer Malik Zaire will start against the Tigers (3-5, 0-4 Southeastern Conference), a game the Gators (3-4, 3-3) probably need to win to make a bowl.
Zaire replaces redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks, who was benched in three of six starts.

Mond, LaCamera lift A&M to 19-17 win over Florida
Mark LongOctober 15, 2017
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Kellen Mond made several huge plays, Daniel LaCamera kicked four field goals and Texas A&M handed Florida a second home loss in as many weeks, 19-17 on Saturday night.
LaCamera's 32-yarder with 58 seconds remaining proved to be the difference, but Mond made everything happen for the Aggies (5-2, 3-1 Southeastern Conference). The freshman completed eight passes for 180 yards, and added 52 yards and a touchdown on the ground.
Sluggish Florida plans to pick up pace against Texas A&M
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Jim McElwain has a new solution to his three-year-old problem: Pick up the pace.
The unranked Gators want to play with a faster tempo when they host Texas A&M on Saturday night. McElwain's offense averages 60.8 plays a game, which ranks next-to-last in the Southeastern Conference and 124th out of 129 teams in the Football Bowl Subdivision.

'We've got to respond': Explaining how LSU's defense rebounded from third-quarter woes to stuff Florida
ROSS DELLENGER | rdellenger@theadvocate.comOctober 8, 2017
On third down, LSU brought the blitz.
On fourth down, the Tigers dropped almost everyone.
Defensive coordinator Dave Aranda's final two play calls worked to perfection, and they lifted LSU to that 17-16 victory at Florida on Saturday — a key final stand by a young defense that, maybe, grew up a little over the weekend.
Florida's leading receiver officially ruled out for game against LSU
Florida will play without its top receiver, Tyrie Cleveland, in Saturday's game against LSU, UF coach Jim McElwain announced Wednesday after practice.
Cleveland, a 6-2, 205-pound sophomore from Houston, has triple the amount of receiving yards as the next Gators wideout (326 yards). He's averaging 81 yards receiving a game and a whopping 21 per reception. Cleveland is battling a high ankle sprain.
How Florida QB Feleipe Franks was almost an LSU Tiger and why he's now a Gator
For an 18-month stretch, spotting the tall, gangly frame of Feleipe Franks in LSU's football operations building was not difficult.
The Franks – his father, sometimes his mother and even his brother – visited campus on what seemed like every weekend from the summer of 2014 to the fall of 2015. The quarterback was one of the most secure of a bevy of 2016 commitments.
No. 21 Florida says WR Cleveland won't play against LSU
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — No. 21 Florida will be without leading receiver Tyrie Cleveland against LSU on Saturday.
Coach Jim McElwain ruled Cleveland out following practice Wednesday, saying the sophomore "was in there working his tail off trying to play."

No. 21 Florida beats Vandy 38-24, loses QB Del Rio for year
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Feleipe Franks lifted his left arm and showed where he scribbled a name in black marker.
Sweat and heavy rain had washed off much of the ink, but the four letters were still faintly visible on his wrist: "Luke."
No. 21 Florida loses QB Del Rio to left shoulder injury
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback Luke Del Rio has left Saturday's game against Vanderbilt with a left shoulder injury.
Making his first start of the season for the 21st-ranked Gators, Del Rio was slow to get up after rolling out of the pocket, completing a pass to Brandon Powell and getting knocked down. Del Rio was favoring his left shoulder as he walked off the field and trainers looked at him on the bench. He then headed to the locker room for most tests.
Potential quarterback dilemmas could shake up SEC race
Anyone trying to get a read on the Southeastern Conference's quarterback situation should avoid looking at the league standings.
While the only two SEC teams with losing records both have clear-cut veteran starting quarterbacks, the two programs atop the Eastern Division standings have uncertainty at that spot. How those schools sort out their quarterback situations could go a long way toward determining the eventual East champion.
Florida benches QB Franks, names Del Rio starter vs Vandy
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — No. 21 Florida is turning to a familiar face to fix an all-too-familiar problem.
Luke Del Rio will get another chance as the team's starting quarterback when the Gators (2-1, 2-0 Southeastern Conference) host Vanderbilt (3-1, 0-1) on Saturday.
Coach Jim McElwain made the switch Monday, giving Del Rio the nod after he benched redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks for the second time in three games.

SEC FOOTBALL FOCUS: Florida relishing in miracle win, Tennessee explains how the 'fluke' happened
Brooks HoltonSeptember 20, 2017
Fresh from the bottom of a mountainous dog pile and thrown in front of CBS cameras, Florida sophomore receiver Tyrie Cleveland — still trying to catch his breath — couldn't put into words what just happened.
What the former track star from Houston knew for certain, though, was that he's probably never run faster in his life than he did when he took off from Tennessee's 36-yard line with just 9 seconds to play in Saturday's game on a dead sprint to the end zone.
Jones breaks down final play, goal line decisions and injuries
By Austin Bornheim austinb@thedailytimes.comSeptember 19, 2017
KNOXVILLE — Players on both sidelines were getting ready for overtime. Tennessee offensive linemen were talking with coaches about the plays that might be called and the Florida defense was catching its breath after giving up the game-tying field goal moments earlier.
Then, the game was over. Feleipe Franks completed a 63-yard pass to Tyrie Cleveland and the planning stopped. Neither side expected that finish, so just exactly were the Vols expecting to see on that final play?

McElwain wants ire directed at him for Florida's latest loss
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Jim McElwain is shouldering the blame for his team's latest lopsided loss against a "real" program.
McElwain defended offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier on Monday, expressed belief in his offensive line that got manhandled in a 33-17 loss to 11th-ranked Michigan and decided to stick with redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks at quarterback.
"Put the ire towards me," McElwain said. "I mean, I'm the one responsible for it. I plan on getting it fixed."
No. 17 Florida sticks with QB Franks after lopsided loss
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — No. 17 Florida is sticking with quarterback Feleipe Franks after a lackluster performance in the season opener.
Coach Jim McElwain made the announcement Monday, two days after pulling Franks and replacing him with Notre Dame transfer Malik Zaire.
"We'll go back with Feleipe," McElwain said. "That was kind of the plan. I think both guys did some (good) things, some things they'd like back."
No. 17 Florida names Franks starting quarterback for opener
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Feleipe Franks will make his first career start on one of college football's biggest stages.
No. 17 Florida named Franks its starting quarterback Wednesday, ending a monthlong competition that also included incumbent Luke Del Rio and Notre Dame transfer Malik Zaire.
Franks, a redshirt freshman from a small town south of Tallahassee, will make his debut Saturday against 11th-ranked Michigan in Arlington, Texas, and in front of about 100,000 fans.
Florida so unsettled at QB that McElwain suggests playing 3
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida coach Jim McElwain hasn't settled on a starting quarterback. He hasn't even pared down the three-man competition.
McElwain said Wednesday that fourth-year junior Luke Del Rio, redshirt freshman Feleipe Franks and graduate transfer Malik Zaire will play this season, maybe even in next week's season opener against No. 11 Michigan.
Pick 6: Transfer quarterbacks who could make a big impact

Florida expects QB Trask back in 4 weeks after knee surgery
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback Kyle Trask had knee surgery Wednesday and is expected to make a full recovery in four weeks.
A redshirt freshman from Manvel, Texas, Trask fell behind projected starter Feleipe Franks during spring practice and was outplayed in the annual Orange & Blue game last week. Working mostly with the second-team offense and against the starting defense, Trask completed 6 of 15 passes for 66 yards, with an interception.
Florida QB Luke Del Rio to have surgery on throwing shoulder
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback Luke Del Rio is to have surgery on his throwing shoulder Wednesday.
Coach Jim McElwain says "it's not major," adding that Del Rio is getting his right shoulder "cleaned out."
Del Rio had surgery on his left shoulder in January. He hasn't practiced this winter, allowing freshmen Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask to split repetitions. Franks, Trask and possibly Del Rio are to compete for the starting job in the fall.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida quarterback Luke Del Rio will miss spring practice following shoulder surgery.
The Gators announced Thursday that Del Rio had surgery on his left, non-throwing shoulder Wednesday, which could clear the way for Feleipe Franks and Kyle Trask to take over the starting job in 2017. Franks and Trask, both freshmen, had been expected to compete with Del Rio for the position.

Funds to push freight to rail in the Illawarra
The Illawarra's share of freight rail funding will enhance the network, according to the NSW government.The freight rail network in the Illawarra will get a share in fundingfrom the NSW government.
The region will receive part of a $1 million spendto upgrade rail lines at Shellharbour and Unanderra as part of the Fixing Country Rail pilot program.
The $15 million program is designed to alleviate connectivity problems on the network.
Much of the $15 million is being spent in rural areas like Moree and Barellan.
But two projects in the Illawarra will share in $1 million, which will build anew turnout at the centre of Dunmore Loop at Shellharbour and another at Unanderra.
The Illawarra turnouts –which allow trains to transfer from one line to another –are designed to increaseline capacity.
"We got two of the 10projects announced state-wide for this program," said Parliamentary Secretary for the Illawarra Gareth ward.
"It's a great win for business. Itmeans more flexible use of the freight network and the existing infrastructure.
"We can have more freighttrains accessing the raillines and that means more freightoff our roads and onto rail."
The key freight rail infrastructure project in the Illawarra is the Maldon-Dombarton line.
Priced at around $700 million is it vastly more expensive than the two turnouts.
Mr Ward said this project was about making the best of the network now.
"This isn't about Maldon-Dombarton, this is about improvingthe existingnetwork and the infrastructurethat is there and utilisingit to itsfullest extent," Mr Ward said.
"I've already made it clear the governmentis committed to Maldon-Dombarton buteven the Labor partyagrees that a private sector solution is what's required."
Mr Ward said the appeal of the funding was the chance to movefreight off the road and onto the rail network.
"One ofthe reasons I asked for the money is that I could see the benefits of enhancingand increasing the amount of freightthat moves around the line," he said.
"This helps movefreight quicker and more efficientlywhich means businessis moreinclined to use freightrail rather than freight by road."

Warriors take aim at grand final
Rugby league fans will descend on Boggabilla on Sunday.IT'S going to be the biggest day in Boggabilla for years.
Following a visit from the Group 19 executives at the weekend, the all clear was given to the Macintyre Warriors to host the rugby league major semi-final onSunday.
It bringsus just one win away from creating history, where the tiny township of Boggabilla will swell by monumental proportions to cope with Grand Final day.
During the last fortnight there has been significant speculation that all finals would be moved to a more suitable venue, due to the lack of facilities at the Boggabilla Sports Ground.
That venue was to be Inverell, who finished second in the regular season, which would have placed them at an enormous advantage considering that right belongs to the team finishing on top, which then meant the Hawks would have to travel to Boggabilla for the major semi-final. For this year at least, following plenty of controversy, common sense has prevailed giving the Warriors at least two finals, which will hopefully include Grand Final day.
Last weekend was the end of the road for our girls this year and the promise of things to come with a 16-10 loss to the Moree Boomerangs. Toni McGrady and Makiily Sampson both got tries, with Maleika Craigie kicking the goal for the Warriors ten points. Makiily was the best of the girls.
In a dress rehearsal for next week's first Reserve Grade Semi-Final, the Warriors finished on top of the Boomerangs 32-22, after leading 20-6 at half-time.
The young speedsters were once again the main contributes to the score sheet with Dallas Dennison, Hayden McGrady, Jamal Woodbridge and Quindon McIntosh all getting tries for the backs, while Tyler Dennison held up the forwards end.
The Reserve Grades competition leading point scorer, Derrick Craigie, added four goals to his tally. Robbie McIntosh got the Coaches award.
This Saturdaythe two sides will line up against one another again at Ashford, with the winner moving to the second week of the finals and the loser hanging up the boots for the year. The game will commence at1pm.
In the First Grade match the Warriors suffered just their second loss of the year, and their secondin three weeks. The Boomerangs had to win to be assured of playing finals football, where the Warriors were guaranteed of their spot at the top of the table, regardless to the result.
This showed with the hungry Boomerangs taking a 16-6 lead to the break and then extending that lead into the second half, before the Warriors finished full of running to go down narrowly 34-28. Malcolm McGrady, Rick McGrady, Liam McGrady, Clyde Hickling and Harold 'Buddy' Brown (celebrating a birthday) all got tries with Malcolm McGrady and Kerrod Sampson both kicking two goals. Remarkable Robbie McIntosh got the coaches vote for best on ground in First Grade as well. '
Saturdaywill see the Boomerangs take on the Ashford Roosters at Ashford, with the Boggabilla Sports Ground coming alive on Sunday when the Macintyre Warriors take on the Inverell Hawks, with the victor earning the first spot in the 2016 Grand Final and the home ground advantage.
There will be four games, with the first kicking off at10.45am, and the gates opening at9.30am.
It is expected that there will be a bumper crowd with prime vantage points in hot demand and early attendance recommended. It is likely that at some stage, due to the large crowd, vehicles will be stopped from entering the grounds, so it would be a good idea to bring a chair or a blanket to sit on the ground.
Entry to the grounds will be via McCosker Street on the Western side of the Oval. Remember this is an alcohol free event and any person found bringing alcohol into the grounds will be asked to leave immediately with no exceptions.
Ararat's season finishes on high
Alan Batchelor gets his kick away for Ararat. Picture: PETER PICKERINGARARAT won its last game for the 2016 Wimmera Football League season with a 151 to 69 point victoryagainstDimboola on Saturday.
The strong performance came in front of the club's1956 and 1986 premiership players.
The Rats were in control for the whole match as the side booted23 goals13to the Roos'11.3.
Lachlan Hamilton kicked seven goals for the Rats to finish with a season tally of 42 from 15 games.
Coach David Hosking said Hamilton did not start with the intensity required for the game.
"Lachie started slow, so i just pulled him aside and said to focus on attacking the ball," he said
"I was just trying to get his confidence up for the rest of the game.
"Certainly there were a lot of people around which always makes for a good atmosphere."
Gordon Laurie and Jack Ganley each added four goals of their own.
Ararat's fourth win of the season lifted it into sixth position –just two points outside the top five.
Hosking said thatthe final scorelinedid not accurately reflect how competitive the game actually was.
"It was a good win," he said.
"I thought it was probably a bit closer than the scoresindicated."
He said it was the evenly spread contributionacross from his players that pleased him the most.
"I think we were pretty even on the day," he said.
"Wehad a few guys back in the team to make us stronger which always helps."
Ryan Bates continued his recent good form to finish the season with another strong performance.
He was named best on ground for the second week straight after a good performance against Minyip-Murtoa in round 15.
The Rats had become an unlikely late season finals hope heading into thefinal round.
But their poor percentage was always going to make it difficult for the side to move into the top five.
It proved too much to overcome in the end.
It was a disappointing way to end the season for Dimboola.
Jayden Lehmann kicked three goals and was named the Roos' best player.
The side had been showing improved form over the past month of the season.
But they could not manage a second win to go with its 12-point win against Nhill in round 12.

Saints surge for vital win
Tooleybuc Manangatang pair Victor Caristo and Lachlan Gleeson gang up on Koondrook Barham's Daniel Mowat.WITH the finals series just around the corner,the significance of this game for TooleybucManangatang could not be overstated.
With both teams near full strength, thescene was set for a cracker of a game between thesecond placed Raiders and fifth placed Saintsat Barham.
Although the ground was boggy in placesand heavy underfoot, both teams went in hardearly and set about moving the ball forwardwith pace.
However, as the quarter progressed, theSaints began to show better control andfinesse, while the Raiders started to fritter andfumble their way forward.
With Ryan O'Sullivan dominating the ruckand Joshua Stone working hard through thecentre, the Saints were putting tremendouspressure on the Raiders defence.
While Shane Guerra, Troy Rogers and FrazerNeate tried hard for the Raiders, Saints JohnWardle, Benjamin Arentz and Trent Baker keptthe pressure on, keeping the Raiders goal-lessfor the quarter.
Although Rhett Sutton tried hard to challengeO'Sullivan in the ruck, he was no matchfor the big man's efforts all over the ground.
His inspirational work in the second quarterbrought teammates Nick O'Neill, NyaburuKelly and Stephen Lyons to life as they setabout continuing the good work from the firstquarter.
Raiders Troy Rogers, Frazer Neate and JayReynolds were again in the mix, but mostof their work was either nullified or down indefence.
As much as they tried, the Raiders could notkeep up with the Saints' attacking footy andalthough they managed to kick two goals forthe quarter, they were clearly being outpacedand outplayed.
The pivotal moment in the game came in thethird quarter, where the Raiders came out andthrew everything at the Saints, but failed tomake any real headway or shatter the confidenceof the charging Saints.
In fact, the Saints seemed to relish the challengeand continued to match the Raidersthroughout the quarter.
O'Sullivan again was brilliant as Kelly, SimonMunkara, Rhys Budde and Nick O'Neill allchipped in pressing forward.
For the Raiders, Lucas Mathews put in somehard work through mid-field as did Rogers,but most of it came to nought as the Saintscontinually piled on the pressure.
The final quarter was all the Saints as theRaiders seem to run out of steam, allowingO'Sullivan, Munkara, Stone and Baker to easilyfeed the goal scoring machine Lyons.
His five goals for the quarter was like a trainingrun as the Raiders had no answer to hisstrength and marking prowess.
While Troy Rogers continued to give goodservice, along with Lucas Mathews and JakeHare, the Raiders were no match forthe Saints who now sit fourth on the ladder.

The Caldwell Chameleon Anamorphic lenses use a 1.79x squeeze ratio and have been designed to be used with digital sensors. The flare attribute are mentioned to be very harking back to basic anamorphic lenses.
There may be each a Tremendous 35+ sequence and a Full Body Sequence out there. The lenses may be configured with completely different rear optical teams relying in your utility. The Tremendous 35+ Sequence can cowl Tremendous 35 + cameras, or be configured to cowl massive format cameras just like the RED MONSTRO, ARRI ALEXA LF, or the Sony VENICE. All 7 lenses within the sequence are uniform in dimension and have a minimal focus of two.5 toes. The Chameleons have a novel look and they're claimed to embody the distinct aberrations one would count on from anamorphic lenses however with a delicate magnificence.
Most anamorphic lenses function a 2x squeeze ratio, however just lately now we have seen a development with lens producers providing anamorphic lenses with 1.5x and 1.8x squeeze ratios. Simply final 12 months, Cooke introduced the 1.8x Anamorphic/i Full Body Plus sequence. P&S Technik additionally introduced their TECHNOVISION Basic 1.5X sequence of anamorphic lenses.
So why 1.8x? At 2x you'll lose too many pixels, and at 1.6x (the right ratio to make use of each pixel) you'll not get sufficient of the anamorphic character. Utilizing a 1.8x squeeze offers the picture a higher anamorphic really feel on the side ratio of two.40:1 while capturing 90% of the pixels, subsequently retaining this format properly inside trade decision requirements. As a result of the Chameleons may be configured to cowl the complete nonetheless body of 24 x 36, you possibly can elect to make use of 100% of the pixels which is able to end in a facet ratio of two.70:1.
What cameras truly help 1.8x anamorphic lenses? The ARRI ALEXA LF already helps 1.8x de-squeeze and Sony have already mentioned that the VENICE will help the 1.8x de-squeeze within the Model 3.o firmware replace. The Kinefinity MAVO LF helps 1.75x, however I'm pretty positive a 1.8X de-squeeze may very well be added.
The Tremendous 35+ Sequence Anamorphic lenses will are available focal lengths of 25mm, 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 75mm, 100mm, and 150mm. The 32,50 and 100mm will probably be out there in June this 12 months, whereas the opposite focal lengths received't grow to be out there until 2020.
The 32mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, and 70mm are all T2, whereas the 100m is T2.6, and the 150mm is T4. All of the lenses have a entrance diameter of 114mm and are solely out there in PL mount.
The Tremendous 35+ Sequence will cowl a minimal picture circle of 33mm, and the precise picture protection will differ relying on the focal size.
The Full Body Sequence will are available focal lengths of 48mm, 60mm, 75mm, 90mm, 112mm, 150mm, and 225mm.
The 48mm, 40mm, 60mm, 75mm, 90mm, and 112mm are all T3 whereas the 150mm is T4, and the 225mm is T6. All of the lenses have a entrance diameter of 114mm and are solely out there in PL mount. They are going to all cowl a minimal picture circle of 50mm, and the precise picture protection will differ relying on the focal size.
A conversion package will probably be out there that may convert the Tremendous35+ Sequence to the Full Body Sequence. These kits embody optics, focal size plaques, and focus and aperture rings.
These are usually not what you'll name "Reasonably priced" lenses. The Tremendous 35+ Sequence will price £22,750 per lens (EX VAT), and the Full Body Sequence will probably be £24,950 per lens (EX VAT). The Conversion Package is £2,850 per lens (EX VAT).

The LA County Board of Supervisors passed a motion to create a civilian review board for the sheriff's department.
This is the product of a three year effort by the Coalition to End Sheriff Violence, but it's just the beginning of the creation of the board. It's not determined how much actual power the board would have.
Cities in LA county generally don't have civilian review boards, with Long Beach being an exception. Cities have police commissions, but their role is not as a representative voice of the people and our complaints - rather they are like a board of directors, and the seats are held by elected officials.
Besides this tendency toward not having civilian review of police, many cities contract out police services to the sheriffs. A civilian review board for the sheriffs department would impact not only the unincorporated areas of the county, but also all the cities that contract out police services.
The 3-2 majority was attained with the election of Sheila Kuehl, who took Yaroslovsky's seat. The other two supporters were Ridley-Thomas ans Solis, The opponents were Antonovich and Knabe. Perhaps this signals a change in the direction of the county board of supes, which has traditionally been a pretty conservative body.

Philippines files new diplomatic protests over Chinese boats in disputed waters

China orders overseas mail disinfection over Omicron fears
China cuts interest rates as economic growth slows
Xi stresses common development, win-win cooperation
In a Twitter post, Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin said: "they really are fishing everything in the water that belongs by law to us"
Chinese vessels, believed to be manned by Chinese maritime militia personnel, are seen at Whitsun Reef, South China Sea on March 27, 2021. Picture taken March 27, 2021. Philippine Coast Guard/National Task Force-West Philippine Sea/Handout via REUTERS THIS IMAGE HAS BEEN SUPPLIED BY A THIRD PARTY. NO RESALES. NO ARCHIVES.
The Philippines filed fresh diplomatic protests to China on Wednesday after accusing its giant neighbour of undertaking illegal fishing and massing more than 240 boats within the Southeast Asian country's territorial waters.
The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs said that two protests had been lodged, days after Manila summoned Chinese Ambassador Huang Xilian to press for the withdrawal of its vessels on the disputed Whitsun Reef in the South China Sea and other Philippine maritime zones.
The Philippines last month described the presence of over 200 boats believed to be manned by militias inside its 200 mile (322 km) exclusive economic zone as "swarming and threatening", while the United States, Japan and others have voiced concern about China's intentions, prompting rebukes by Beijing.
In a Twitter post, Foreign Secretary Teodoro Locsin said: "they really are fishing everything in the water that belongs by law to us."
A Philippine government taskforce said the vessels, which are about 60 metres (197 ft) in length, can catch a tonne of fish a day. It said 240 were in various areas in Philippine waters as of Sunday, including nine at Whitsun Reef.
"The continuous swarming of Chinese vessels poses a threat to the safety of navigation, safety of life at sea, and impedes the exclusive right of Filipinos to benefit from the marine wealth in the EEZ," the task force said in a statement late on Monday.
China's embassy in Manila and the foreign ministry in Beijing did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Chinese diplomats have previously said the Whitsun reef was part of its traditional fishing grounds, and that vessels were taking shelter from rough seas and did not have militia aboard.
Since coming to power in 2016, President Rodrigo Duterte has criticised US foreign policy and sought to improve ties with Beijing, but China's maritime assertiveness has put him in a difficult spot at times.
The Philippine navy planned to deploy three more ships in the South China Sea.
"We have to understand that to say that one area is ours, we have to be there," army spokesman Major General Edgard Arevalo said.

Robinhood is Best For
Is Robinhood Right For You?
Robinhood offers commission-free, app-based investments with no account minimum. But is it a viable long-term option for traders?
It's no secret that younger generations are slow to start investing. Not only are they wary of stock market volatility, but many of them simply do not have the financial resources.
Still, experts continue to advise starting an investment practice as young as possible. And thanks to online discount brokerages like Robinhood, it's becoming a more viable option for millennials.
Robinhood is highly innovative in its approach to lowering expenses. Their stock and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are absolutely commission-free, as are their options and cryptocurrency trades. There's also no account minimum, helping investors to get started sooner rather than later.
And to help cut costs further, the company recently launched Clearing.
The service gives Robinhood the freedom to operate their clearing system themselves, rather than outsourcing it to a third-party. This has allowed them to remove their broker-assisted phone trades fee (previously $10) and reduce their bank reversal fees from $30 to just $9.
However, there's a trade-off involved.
Robinhood doesn't offer many advisory services (though their app does walk you through the trading process), nor do they offer mutual account management options, banking, or even physical branches. And while they've made strides in improving their research resources, it's still a sparse offering compared to competitors like E*Trade or the robo-advisor Acorns.
That said, both the apps and the web-based platform are remarkably easy to use. Their outstanding usability and affordability continue to make Robinhood an attractive option for novice traders.
Continue reading for an in-depth overview on the company.
Trade commissions: $0
Account minimum: $0 (legally required minimum of $2,000 if you want to upgrade to Robinhood Gold for margin trading)
Robinhood is clearly better for some investors than others – as are all trading platforms. The online discount brokerage is best for the following types:
High-frequency stock, options, and/or ETF traders
Investors wanting a platform focused on its mobile app
Those looking for individual taxable accounts
Investors interested in cryptocurrency
Those wanting to partake in margin trading
There's a lot to love about Robinhood, especially if you're just starting out with investments. Take a look at everything the company has going for itself.
+Commission & Fees
What could possibly be better for new traders than not having to pay commission fees?
Robinhood is admirably committed to providing commission-free stock options, ETF, and cryptocurrency trades. The benefit compounds the more you trade too – after all, a dollar saved on commissions is an extra dollar you can invest. For comparison, rivals such as E*Trade charge a flat rate of $6.95 per trade, which can make high-frequency trading an expensive venture.
Plus, as mentioned in our introduction, trading fees aren't the only area where Robinhood cuts costs.
For example, there's no management fee. And, taking Wealthfront, Betterment Premium, and Personal Capital as examples, you can expect to pay 0.25%, 0.40%, and up to 0.89% respectively in management fees. On an account of $10,000, that means Robinhood saves you between $25 and $89 a year in management fees alone.
In fact, almost the only time you'll pay fees is for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) at $13 per $1 million of principal, and the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) trading activity fee at $0.000119 per share (capped at $5.95).
These fees have to be paid regardless of the brokerage you trade through. While other brokerages add a commission on top of these fees, Robinhood does not.
+No Account Minimum
Some online discount brokerages have account minimums. E*Trade and TradeStation, for example, both require an opening deposit of $500+.
On the other hand, many don't. Robinhood is one example of this – meaning you can get started without having to save up enough money to meet an account minimum.
Of course, you'll still need to have some money in your account. You won't be able to trade otherwise.
+Easy Sign-Up Process
So long as you're familiar with smartphones and using apps – and Robinhood's target market most certainly is – you'll find the sign-up process quick and painless. In fact, it should only take ten minutes or less to complete. All you need to do is provide a few basic details about yourself, add your contact details and Social Security number, and link your checking account.
Robinhood says that account approval happens within an hour. So in less time than it takes to watch a movie, you'll be able to start adding funds.
The funding process is also very quick. Most major U.S. banks allow for instant verification, so you won't have to waste time reporting micro-transactions. As long as you're not transferring more than $1,000 at a time (either to your Robinhood account or from selling stocks), you'll be able to access those funds immediately.
It's only when you start moving more than $1,000 at a time that there's a mandatory waiting period of four to five business days. This is largely to prevent fraud, but the first two days are also a SEC requirement.
If you're going to be transferring funds fairly regularly, you can also set up automatic deposits according to a weekly, biweekly, monthly, or quarterly schedule.
+Usability
Robinhood's interface has none of the usual frills you find on some of their competitors' sites (E*Trade, for example, is a usability nightmare1).
This also means that there are considerably fewer resources, which could be viewed as a negative. However, so long as you know what you're looking for, the platform is one of the most user-friendly options out there.
Both the app and website being incredibly intuitive also works in the favor of novices who would otherwise be overwhelmed. It's quick and easy to try your hand at a number of stock trading orders. These include limit, stop limit, and stop orders.
And if you're looking for new stocks to trade, you'll also enjoy Collections. Here, stocks are organized according to their sector or organization.
There's a wide variety to choose from, including companies in the entertainment industry or those with a female CEO. It's not quite as advanced as proper socially responsible investment (SRI) lists, but if you're willing to do a little research and search for those companies in Collections, you can rest assured that you're putting your money where your mouth is.
Not only can you compare selected stocks with Collections, but you can also compare their prices. By selecting a stock, you can choose to view what other Robinhood Investors have paid for them on average, compared to the current selling price. This will give you a good indication of whether or not it would be a smart investment.
Finally, Robinhood also allows you to create watch lists for stocks that you're interested in but think will become available at a better price in the near future. You'll get real-time updates on those stocks.
This will streamline your selection process even further and help ensure you never miss a good investment opportunity.
+Cryptocurrency
Cryptocurrency has been all the rage for the past few years. If you've been reading up on it and would like to try your hand at trading in cryptocurrencies, the good news is that Robinhood lets you do so commission-free.
At present, you can buy and sell the following cryptocurrencies with Robinhood:
Bitcoin SV (BSV)
Additionally, you'll get market updates on other cryptocurrencies, some of which Robinhood might be adding to their trading platform in the future (as mentioned on the site, this is not guaranteed):
Bitcoin Gold (BTG)
Unfortunately, Robinhood cryptocurrency trading isn't available in every state yet. Check the following page to see whether it's available for your state. If not, don't worry – if you're a client, you'll get notified as soon as it becomes available for you. Robinhood is planning on adding more states to the list.
+Robinhood Gold
If you're interested in margin trading, you can get started with Robinhood Gold.
Margin trading is also known as trading with borrowed money, because that's essentially what it is. You take a loan out with the brokerage (in this case, Robinhood) against your current investments, and use that loan to trade.
Robinhood calls their margin trading account Robinhood Gold, and the loan Gold Buying Power. Bear in mind that you won't be able to invest in options or cryptocurrencies using this money.
It's entirely optional, which is a good thing – because margin trading entails additional risks. You'll also need to match the FINRA Margin Requirements, which means an account minimum of $2,000. Additionally, there's a flat-rate fee you'll need to pay, depending on which Gold Tier your loan matches. For example, the $200/month tier charges a 5% margin fee, while loans of over $50,000 incur an annual percentage rate (APR) of 5% interest.
However, you'll also enjoy extended trading hours. While other members have to operate within those trading hours, you'll be able to buy and sell 30 minutes before the market officially opens, as well as for two additional hours after it closes.
In case you were wondering, this is also how Robinhood makes their money.
+SIPC Member
Robinhood is a member of the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC).
This means that your Robinhood investments account is insured for up to $500,000. If the company ever fails, the cash and securities (for example stocks and bonds) you lose as a result are covered.
Bear in mind that this does not mean you'll recover market-related losses.
+Improved Research Resources
As mentioned earlier, Robinhood doesn't offer quite the same level of research resources and tools as some of their competitors.
This could be seen as a negative, but we find that the company has been making an effort to improve in this regard.
For example, Robinhood now offers Morningstar analyst ratings, lists of top movers, links to earnings calls, and earnings calendars. And in addition to the "Price Paid" comparisons we mentioned with regards to usability, you can view popular stocks through the "People Also Bought" feature, as well as candlestick charts on the app.
Unfortunately, we do have a few contention points when it comes to Robinhood's services. Here are a few things to keep in mind if you're considering the platform:
-Limited Securities
While Robinhood does offer some variety of securities, they don't currently support mutual funds and bonds.
Another notable omission is the lack of automatic dividends reinvestment. This means that when dividends are paid out, they're credited to your account as cash instead of being automatically reinvested into the security that paid them out in the first place. While it's a simple matter to reinvest the funds manually, it's still an unnecessary hassle – and can lead to cash drag.
However, Robinhood does say they hope to add this feature in the future.
-One Account Offering
Traders ought to invest a percentage of their funds into a tax-advantaged account like the 401k or individual retirement account (IRA) before starting with a taxable account. Robinhood only deals with the latter, also referred to as a brokerage account.
While there are a few things you'll have to give up in exchange, when Robinhood claims to be commission-free, they mean it.
If you're a novice trader and cost-efficiency is your number one concern, we would certainly recommend the platform. On the other hand, if you value advanced trading tools and a full range of securities, you may want to look elsewhere.
At the end of the day, while Robinhood is a fantastic starting point, beginners should recognize that it can't be your only investment platform. Still, their commission-free model is most certainly ideal for learning the ropes and supplementing other investment avenues.

The power of URLs and publishing
#Other entries in this series:
Where we've been.
What we're thinking about.
What we're reading.
We're networking, digitizing, and indexing all of this. Building a corpus. And the growing bizarro emotional quandary is: if an act — a checkin, a highlight, a note, a meal — isn't in the corpus, then is it real? If a tree falls in the forest …
#Adjacency and Publishing
I'm sitting here in a little cafe reading the first issue of Monkey Business.1 Edited by Motoyuki Shibata and Ted Goossen, and published by A Public Space,2 Monkey Business "is a newly founded journal of new writing from Japan and abroad with a few not-so-new works strategically slipped in."
In this inaugural English issue there's a conversation between Hideko Furukawa and Murakami Haruki. It's long and wonderful and intimate. In fact, I can't ever remember reading such a raw conversation with Murakami in English. Here's some of my favorite passages.
On "after the quake" and Murakami's systematic easing into third-person narrative:
Before I began I decided I'd write one story every one or two weeks, that each would feature characters that would be named, that I would write in the third person, and that the earthquake would link them all together.
On discipline and pace:
The lady who used to work at the club was amazed by how hard I worked — no other writer could match me, she said. For me, though, it was par for the course.
And then Furukawa on that pace:
I can see the athlete in you at work. It's as if the act of running and writing had merged together.
When Murakami finished work on his book, "Sydney!" about the Sydney Olympics, he had a writing epiphany:
I came away from that process finally convinced I really knew how to write: in concrete terms, I no longer had to stop and question whether I was capable of handling a particular scene — I could go on and write whatever came into my head, even if I had no familiarity with the subject matter.
And the interview goes on and on. They discuss the alternate Muakami-esque un-real reality of post-9/11 America, and Murakami's sense of looming mortality:
… at sixty, I pretty much know how many [novels] are left. All I have to do is count backwards.
And on and on and on some more. It's a wonderful text that was part of a print publication released last year. And I want to point point point at it for you. But I can't. At least not in the way we've become accustomed — digitally; into the publication. And I realize how entitled this may sound — but not being able to point means it feels like the text is not really out there. Like it doesn't exist.
To not exist means in part to be offline. Which is why it's so easy to understand this by using a print publication as an example. But the offline metaphor also extends into the digital world.
To not exist digitally means to be walled off. Silo'd. Unpointable. It means a text feels flat or lifeless or limp. Unnetworked (even if it's on the network). It's means to not be part of that growing corpus. Which, today, feels more damning than ever.
