Q: Regular expression for validating input string in R I am trying to write a regular expression in R to validate user input and run program accordingly.
3 types of queries are expected, all are character vectors.
query1 = "Oct4[Title/Abstract] AND BCR-ABL1[Title/Abstract]
         AND stem cells[Title] AND (2000[PDAT] :2015[PDAT])"
query2 <-c("26527521","26711930","26314551")

The following code works. But the challenge is restricting special characters in both the cases
all(grepl("[A-Za-z]+",query,perl=TRUE)) validates False for query 2

or as @sebkopf suggested
all(grepl("^[0-9 ,]+$", query)) # evaluates to TRUE only for query 2

However, query 1 also takes in year as input, which means it numeric input should be accepted for query 1. To add complexity, space , . - [] () are allowed in query1.  And, the format for query2, Should be ONLY numbers, separated by , or space. Anything else should throw an error.
How to incorporate both these conditions as part of R regular expression ? So that, the following if conditions are validated accordingly to run respective codes ?
 if (grepl("regex for query 1& 2",query,perl=TRUE) == True {
 Run code 1
} else { print ("these characters are not allowed @ ! & % # * ~ `_ = +") }
 if (grepl("regex for query3",query,perl=TRUE) == True {
 Run code 2
} else { print ("these characters are not allowed @ ! & % # * ~ `_ = + [] () - . ")}

A: In your current regexps you are just looking for the occurence of the pattern ("[A-Za-z]+") anywhere in  the query. If you want to specifically only allow certain character patterns, you need to make sure it matches across the whole query using "^...$".
With regular expressions there's always multiple ways of doing anything but to provide an example for matching a query without specific special characters (but everything else allowed), you could use the following (here wrapped in all to account for your query3 being a vector):
all(grepl("^[^@!&%#*~`_=+]+$", query)) # evaluates to TRUE for your query1, 2 & 3

For instead doing the positive match to only catch queries that are numbers plus space and comma:
all(grepl("^[0-9 ,]+$", query)) # evaluates to TRUE only for query3

Q: Android Fragment Dual Pane Orientation Error Binary XML file line #7: Error inflating class fragment I have an activity that switches between dual-pane and single pane depending on orientation with a list fragment and a details view fragment
i.e.
Portrait: Single Pane = List fragment / detail fragment (when an item has been selected)
Landscape: Dual pane = List fragment and Detail fragment
I am getting the above error for the following use case:

*

*In portrait single pane list click on item to launch details fragment

*Rotate screen to landscape

*EXCEPTION!

I cannot see what's going wrong.. Seems like several people have had similar problems but not sure if it's quite the same.
Here is some code:
Default activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <fragment
        class="com.example.MyListFragment"
        android:id="@+id/myListFragment"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</FrameLayout>

Landscape activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <fragment
        class="com.example.MyListFragment"
        android:id="@+id/myListFragment"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_width="0px"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

    <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/myDetailsLayout"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_width="0px"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
 </LinearLayout>

In MainActivity.Java:
....
@Override
public void onMyItemSelected(DetailsItem item) {

    Fragment newDetailFragment = new MyDetailFragment();
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putParcelable("details", item);
    newDetailFragment.setArguments(bundle);

    FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
    FragmentTransaction ft = fragmentManager.beginTransaction();

    if (dualPane){
        ft.replace(R.id.myDetailsLayout, newDetailFragment);
    }
    else {
        ft.replace(R.id.myListFragment, newDetailFragment);
    }
    ft.setTransition(FragmentTransaction.TRANSIT_FRAGMENT_OPEN)
    .addToBackStack(null)
    .commit();
}
...

A: I couldn't find a solution to the exact problem. But I was reading somewhere that mixing fragments defined in the layout xml with ones that are dynamically loaded at runtime can cause lots of issues.
So to resolve the problem I changed my layout so that it included frame layout placeholders only (i.e. no fragments). I then dynamically replace the placeholders with real fragments at runtime.
My layouts now looks something like this:
Default activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/myListFragment"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
</FrameLayout>

Landscape activity_main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/myListFragment"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_width="0px"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

    <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/myDetailsLayout"
        android:layout_weight="1"
        android:layout_width="0px"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>

And now I have 2 functions in my activity called on OnCreate(). One that adds the list fragment to the list placeholder and the other that adds details fragment to the details place holder (if it's dual pane).


Bank of America's second-quarter net income shot up 63% to $4 billion, or 32 cents per share, from $2.5 billion, or 19 cents per share in the 2Q 2012.
The surge in profit was driven by year-over-year improvements in net interest income, investment banking fees and credit quality as well as expense reductions.
Despite the uptick in revenue, lower mortgage banking income worked to offset the increase.
The mega bank funded $26.8 billion in residential home loans and home equity loans during the 2Q 2013, increasing 7% from 1Q 2013, and 41% higher than year ago figures.
In addition, the amount of 60+ days delinquent first mortgage loans serviced by the Legacy Assets and Servicing division fell 26% during the second quarter to 492,000 loans, down from 667,000 loans at the end of the first quarter and a 54% drop from last year.
As a whole, 83% of first mortgages were refinances and 17% were for home purchases.
Meanwhile, Bank of America's (BAC) sales force of financial solutions advisors, mortgage loan officers and small business bankers increased to more than 6,800 specialists in the 2Q, up 21% from the same period a year ago, reflecting the company's continued commitment to deepening customer relationships.
In addition, net revenue slightly rose 3%, or $747 million, from the 2Q 2012, to $22.9 billion.
"At the beginning of the year, we said we would focus on three things – revenue stability, strengthening the balance sheet and managing costs," said Chief Financial Officer Bruce Thompson.
He expanded saying, "This quarter, we delivered on all three. Revenue increased 3%, we continued to build capital ratios, despite the negative impact of higher interest rates on our bond portfolio, and we reduced expenses related to servicing delinquent mortgage loans at a faster rate than we originally expected."


New CEOs at rural banks are younger than their urban peers, a marked change from 1997 to 2008.
Despite making gains in higher-skill occupations, Hispanics are more likely to end up in lower-skill jobs. This disparity may be due to Hispanics lagging behind their non-Hispanic peers in education.
Regional income inequality in China isn't as severe when housing costs are also taken into account. However, the disparity is greater than in the U.S.
St. Louis Fed supplements state and local employment data from the BLS, which provides just one revision a year.
Women once faced much higher unemployment rates than men. Women now appear to be less exposed to increased joblessness during recessions than men.


The 2015 edition of the Osun Osogbo festival may have come and gone, but the indelible strides left by Goldberg lager would linger in the minds of attendees for years to come. Prior to the grand finale of the over six-century old ceremony which was held on August 21, 2015, Goldberg had chosen to participate in certain milestone commemorative dates of the festival. The specially recognised days were Iwopopo, the musical concert and the Arugba's berth.
The Osun Osogbo festival grand finale procession marked the highlight of the ceremony. The special guest of honour, the Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, was represented by Alhaji Moshood Adeoti, the Secretary to the state government.
In his royal address, Oba Oyetunji acknowledged the commitment and support of the Osun State government which he said has assisted in no small measure in maintaining and protecting the state cultural heritage through various programmes aimed at promoting the cultural values and preserving the history of the people of Osogbo.
The highlight of Goldberg's beer village was the grand finale which featured fuji exponent, Taye Currency, who thrilled the audience to fast-paced traditional beats.

François Auguste René Rodin (12 November 1840 – 17 November 1917), known as Auguste Rodin (/oʊˈɡuːst roʊˈdæ̃/; French: [oɡyst ʁɔdɛ̃]), was a French sculptor. Although Rodin is generally considered the progenitor of modern sculpture, he did not set out to rebel against the past. He was schooled traditionally, took a craftsman-like approach to his work, and desired academic recognition, although he was never accepted into Paris's foremost school of art.
Sculpturally, Rodin possessed a unique ability to model a complex, turbulent, deeply pocketed surface in clay. Many of his most notable sculptures were roundly criticized during his lifetime. They clashed with predominant figurative sculpture traditions, in which works were decorative, formulaic, or highly thematic. Rodin's most original work departed from traditional themes of mythology and allegory, modeled the human body with realism, and celebrated individual character and physicality. Rodin was sensitive to the controversy surrounding his work, but refused to change his style. Successive works brought increasing favor from the government and the artistic community.
From the unexpected realism of his first major figure – inspired by his 1875 trip to Italy – to the unconventional memorials whose commissions he later sought, Rodin's reputation grew, such that he became the preeminent French sculptor of his time. By 1900, he was a world-renowned artist. Wealthy private clients sought Rodin's work after his World's Fair exhibit, and he kept company with a variety of high-profile intellectuals and artists. His students included Antoine Bourdelle, Camille Claudel, Constantin Brâncuși, Charles Despiau. He married his lifelong companion, Rose Beuret, in the last year of both their lives. His sculptures suffered a decline in popularity after his death in 1917, but within a few decades, his legacy solidified. Rodin remains one of the few sculptors widely known outside the visual arts community.
Rodin was born in 1840 into a working-class family in Paris, the second child of Marie Cheffer and Jean-Baptiste Rodin, who was a police department clerk. He was largely self-educated, and began to draw at age ten. Between ages 14 and 17, Rodin attended the Petite École, a school specializing in art and mathematics, where he studied drawing and painting. His drawing teacher, Horace Lecoq de Boisbaudran, believed in first developing the personality of his students so that they observed with their own eyes and drew from their recollections. Rodin still expressed appreciation for his teacher much later in life. It was at Petite École that he first met Jules Dalou and Alphonse Legros.
In 1857, Rodin submitted a clay model of a companion to the École des Beaux-Arts in an attempt to win entrance; he did not succeed, and two further applications were also denied. Given that entrance requirements at the Grande École were not particularly high, the rejections were considerable setbacks. Rodin's inability to gain entrance may have been due to the judges' Neoclassical tastes, while Rodin had been schooled in light, 18th-century sculpture. Leaving the Petite École in 1857, Rodin earned a living as a craftsman and ornamenter for most of the next two decades, producing decorative objects and architectural embellishments.

As I was writing this article (Krav Maga Military "Secrets" Part One) I was unaware that just a couple of days earlier, in my own town of Ma'aleh Adumim, a terrorist attack took place. Unfortunately the attack was not handled properly by the security forces and the attacker escaped unharmed. Yet, there is a great deal we can learn from this case.
Sometimes people who are unfamiliar with Krav Maga in Israel ask me, "Where is the knife disarm?"
A real knife is sharp and dangerous and can cause death quickly. Warning! Do not attempt to disarm a person with a knife, even if you are an "expert".
Our approach does not focus on the knife disarm but on stopping the person who is attacking us with a knife. Danny Inosanto, the only fully recognized instructor under the legendary Bruce Lee, said these words of truth, "Knife disarms are incidental if not accidental."
Incidental means that is not significant, not important, if a disarm happens in the course of your defense – fine, if not – that is also fine, the disarm is not what counts.
Accidental means that sometimes in the course of your disabling the knife attacker, i.e. the person with the knife you might end up taking the knife away. This is viewed as an accident, not part of your plan, not something you set out to do. Why did you not set out to do this? Because to look for the knife disarm would be highly dangerous.
This same message can be born out of the reaction to the knife attack in Ma'aleh Adumim.
"Why Did You Not Shoot Him?"
The headlines in our local newspaper read, "Why did you not shoot him?", we will learn a valuable lesson from this headline.
"On Shabbat during the afternoon hours a young Palestinian Arab arrived at the entrance to Ma'aleh Adumim. He hung around for a while until he found the right moment to execute his attack. As he reached the entrance (the check point) of the town, he stood facing Michael the security guard and spoke Arabic, Michael did not understand him."
"Michael requested an Identification document, instead the young man pulled out a knife and tried to stab Michael in the throat. Michael pulled back and thus saved his own life. He was only superficially scratched. Next to Michael, a distance of two meters, stood Noga, the second security guard, who began chasing after the terrorist, but he did not open fire. According to Michael he also shouted (to Michael), 'don't' shoot'".The article continues with the police investigating the question – why did the security guard not shoot? For those unfamiliar with Krav Maga training in Israel it is important for me to state what is obvious to us over here. The question that was not asked<./i> was "Why did he not attempt to disarm the knife attacker?"
That question was not asked because we all know the answer – you never attempt to disarm a knife attacker, you will get badly cut or worse. The disarm is incidental or accidental but never planned.
The policy, as I was taught while training the elite security guards of Jerusalem is: Block, create distance, and shoot to kill. Anything other than this will put you and others in grave danger.
No one in our current investigation questioned why did Michael not attempt a disarm. He moved away. As we always teach in our knife disarm lessons, seminars and DVD's– first choice is simply to get away. If someone is pointing a knife at you and you have time and ability to get away – do so! Do not be concerned with your " Street Creds ", Do not lunge in and try to grab the knife from the attacker. Do not attempt a disarm. As the headlines of our paper read – Why did he not shoot him?
"Haim Ben Hor, manager of the dept of security and safety, reacted: 'The incident was supposed to end with the terrorist being fired upon. There was no problem with the security guards guns, no jamming or other technical problems occurred. The problem was a human error and this will be fully investigated and conclusions will be drawn."
The guard should have noticed the suspicious behavior of a young Arab "hanging around' for too long.
The guard should be aware t hat when asked to produce a document a potential attacker might just as easily pull out a knife or gun. He should have been aware and ready to respond.
I discussed this case and the general idea of knife threats and knife attacks with a current instructor in the Israeli army and a combat commander from an elite unit. They both concurred completely with the sentiments expressed on this website. When I asked the commander, Roee, how he would deal with a knife attack , he answered, "I would hit him with my rifle, create some distance and shoot him between the eyes."
His answer was immediate and did not require any thinking or contemplation.
When I asked him about the possibility of disarming the attacker he looked confused and perplexed. He could not understand the logic behind trying to disarm a man with a knife. He asked me what kind of people think this is possible.
The instructor, Michal, expressed surprise that any one would attempt to take a knife away from an attacker. "not logical, too risky".
1.	Evasive movements –The defender made a quick evasive movement and ran away. Either security personal neutralized the threat or the defender simply escaped.
2.	Block and Run – In these cases the defender made a quick block and then escaped either unharmed or with a minor cut.
3.	Struggle – In these cases the defender struggled with the attacker, managed to immobilize the knife hand, and eventually submitted or pulverized the attacker.
In the one case I know where the defender attempted a disarm, it ended in his death.
Conclusion: Do not attempt a disarm except under very unique situations, (to be discussed elsewhere).
Hello Moshe! Great new blog. Some doubts came to my mind, now reading these 2 blogs: I know a case of a Mexican guy who had some training in Krav. He was attacked with a knife, he blocked the attack and then he tried to escape, but the attacker followed him and finally killed him. So, isn't it also too risky to leave a weapon in the hands of an attacker, even more, when this attacks happen in a very close range or in lonely areas? And, if you already submitted the attacker, is it valid to take the knife, throw it away and then run?
As I wrote in the blog there are exceptional cases where a disarm is the only option, for example - if you are locked in a room with a man and there is no escape. Or if you are with your children etc, BUT I always stress this point - when you go for the disarm you are greatly increasing your risk. If you can run away - run away, don't take the risk. But if you cannot run away - then you must do the disarms that we teach, but always keep in mind that the disarms are risky and we only advocate a disarm when you have no other option.
In most recorded cases, according to the police records, once a person blocks and runs way it is very rare that someone chases after him. It is very hard to attack a person who is running away, perhaps into a crowd, or maybe there is a bus or perhaps police are around.

This group is scheduled to be inducted on May 14 at the Island Resort & Casino in Harris, located about 15 miles west of Escanaba. This is the same location that this weekend's induction takes place.
The three deceased inductees are 1930s University of Michigan hockey goalie John Jewell of Laurium, hockey pioneer Sam Kokko of Sault Ste. Marie and minor league and independent baseball player Vernon "Moose" Johnson of Crystal Falls.
The balance of the inductees are longtime radio broadcaster and coach Jerry Root of Escanaba, former Wakefield baseball standout and basketball coach Dale Hongisto of Gladstone and longtime hockey standout Bruce "Cukie" Coppo of Calumet.
The 2020 class eagerly awaiting induction includes area residents Jerry Racine of Ishpeming, Al Mitchell of Marquette and Jennifer (Kangas) Brody of L'Anse.
The other inductees are John Barnes of Escanaba, Todd Dagenais of Escanaba, Julie (Heldt) Wonders of Iron Mountain, William Mannisto of Houghton, the late Dewey Lane of Wakefield, the late Victor Turosky of Iron River and the late Mickey Valesano of Wakefield.
Mike DellAngelo in 1975
Here is a short sketch of the 2022 inductees:
Tom Russo — He spent 24 years coaching varsity basketball teams at four schools and directed Negaunee to the 2000 Class C state championship, compiling a 319-210 career record. He directed Ishpeming in 1989 and Negaunee in 1999 to U.P. Class C Team of the Year honors and brought both schools to state championship games.
His basketball teams won six regional championships and seven Mid-Peninsula Conference titles. He was special mention state basketball coach of the year in 2000. Russo was Negaunee's freshman football coach in 2002, when the varsity Miners won the Class C state football title.
Mike DellAngelo — He led Ishpeming to the Class C state football title in 1975 as the Hematites snapped Hudson's state-record 72-game win streak in the finals. He ran for 4,267 yards as a three-year starting tailback and won seven U.P. individual track gold medals as a four-year member of the track team.
He was also a four-year basketball player, then played on Northern Michigan University's football team and ran for 1,093 yards and caught 82 passes for 762 yards. He has also served as a varsity assistant football coach for 30 years, assisted in track and coached freshman basketball and Little League baseball.
John Pistulka — He was a first-team all-state football pick at Manistique and a three-sport letterman. He was U.P. lineman of the year in 1977 and was honorable mention prep football All-American. And he is in Manistique's 1,000-point basketball club.
Pistulka was recruited as a tight end by more than 50 schools but chose to play basketball for three seasons at Lake Superior State, setting the Lakers' single-season rebound record in the 1982-83 season and was fifth nationally in NCAA Division II. He was the team's MVP and unanimous all-GLIAC first team selection in 1982-83 and averaged 18.5 points and 13.3 rebounds at LSSU.
Chris Nance
He had a free-agent football tryout with the NFL's Minnesota Vikings and played in the first NFL game in Europe (the Global Cup) in 1983. After graduation, he dabbled in American Wrestling Association professional wrestling.
Chris Nance — She was a three-sport star at Newberry, establishing 20 school records that include 1,277 career points in basketball. The 1991 NHS graduate was part of Newberry's three-time U.P. Class C track champions while earning all-state laurels in three events.
Nance, who later coached basketball at her prep alma mater, received a scholarship to play basketball at Lake Superior State University, but while knee injuries limited her, she played four years there and is still in the Lakers' all-time top 10 in a number of statistical categories, including No. 6 in career scoring.
John Jewell — He was the goalie when the Michigan hockey team won the Big Ten championship in the 1933-34 season. A Wolverines' co-captain along with past UPSHF inductee John Sherf, Jewell had a 28-12-4 record as U-M goalie with seven shutouts. His goals against average was 1.84.
He played every minute of every game until late in his senior season when surgery for an appendectomy sidelined him for one game. He is in U-M's Dekers Hall of Fame with Sherf and former president Gerald Ford.
Sam Kokko — He tried out for the 1932 U.S. Olympic hockey team and coached hockey teams with legendary Taffy Abel of Sault Ste. Marie. He played and coached for various teams from 1909-51. He died in 1992 at age 93.
He helped Ironwood win the senior hockey McNaughton Cup in 1929, then helped Hancock win three straight McNaughton Cups from 1930-32.
Vernon "Moose" Johnson — He played integrated baseball with Hall of Famers that included Leroy "Satchel" Paige, participating in minor league and independent baseball for many years as he was renowned as a slugger.
Playing for a black team that visited Crystal Falls, Johnson was the winning pitcher and hit a home run in a 1-0 victory. He batted .469 for a black team in one lengthy stretch, playing with Paige and Ted "Double Duty" Radcliffe. That team won the National Semi-Pro championship in what is now called the National Baseball Congress Championship. He died in 1965.
Jerry Root — He will begin his 48th year this fall as a U.P. play-by-play radio broadcaster in football, basketball, baseball and softball. He has also coached girls basketball, boys and girls cross country, and boys track.
His North Central cross country teams won four U.P. titles and his track teams claimed two U.P. titles, despite the track teams never having a practice facility. He was instrumental in building one of the finest cross country courses in the U.P. He also coached at Cedarville and was a sportswriter for the Cedarville Weekly Wave and hosted coaches' radio shows in Sault Ste. Marie and Escanaba.
Dale Hongisto — Recently named athletic director at Gladstone High School, he was a four-sport star at Wakefield, where he earned 17 varsity letters. He earned five gold medals at the U.P. track finals and was the Gogebic Range's offensive football player of the year in 1984.
He also was a Mid-American Conference all-star catcher and designated hitter at Western Michigan University. Hongisto spent 15 years coaching basketball at Gladstone, including seven years as boys varsity coach and two years as a girls assistant coach.
Negaunee boys' basketball coach Tom Russo is given a plaque in January 2005 commemorating his 300th career coaching victory, a feat he achieved Dec. 14, 2004. (Journal file photo)
Bruce "Cukie" Coppo — He has spent eight decades on U.P. hockey rinks as a player, coach and official. He is the only person to officiate Michigan High School Athletic Association hockey for at least 40 years.
He won 13 Gibson Cup titles as a player and coach and coached the Calumet Wolverines to the national championship in 2003 and three runner-up finishes. He was also an assistant coach at Finlandia University for two years.
Dennis Grall is the executive secretary of the U.P. Sports Hall of Fame and the former sports editor of the Daily Press of Escanaba.

Modern professionals spend a lot of time planning for retirement, a tradition that has been going strong for centuries. It's a simple fact that at some point, you're going to want to kick back, stop working and enjoy a nice relaxed retirement. Most people plan their entire careers for this moment. The right amount of savings to tide you over, the right amount of interest-bearing accounts, investments, and backup plans to make sure that no matter what happens, you'll be able to coast comfortably after 65. There are a lot of ways to build a retirement plan, from tax-deferred savings accounts to playing the market and everyone plans their retirement a little differently.
The smartest retirement planners are the ones who diversify, making sure never to put all their nest-eggs in one basket. You may have more than one retirement savings account, one with your employer and one held privately. You may have a few bonds, an annuity, or a life insurance policy that can be cashed out in an emergency. However, the one retirement planning step that almost everyone overlooks is something that is available to absolutely everyone. Even if you don't have a personal wealth manager.
Real estate is one of the best things you can do for your retirement plan because it provides so many benefits and opportunities. Leave it alone and it will generate rental income for decades, or you can take an interest and optimize profits by becoming an active landlord. Let's look at four of the best reasons to include real estate investments in your long-term retirement planning.
The biggest fear in retirement is running out of money. Almost all retirement plans function off of the idea that you will completely stop bringing in new income after you leave the workforce. That fear of running out of money during retirement causes people to look for ways to make a static amount of money grow. Interest-bearing accounts are often too slow for satisfaction and many people turn to the stock market in hopes of finding a windfall that will increase their static savings.
Unfortunately, the stock market just isn't predictable enough to be certain your money will come back greater or even the same as what you put in. The fact of the matter is that you can't control the stock market so investing should always be done carefully with money you can afford to lose. Real estate, on the other hand, consistently appreciates in value every year. If you buy a home or commercial property in an active community, the property value will guaranteeably go up while you are in ownership, meaning that selling is always an option for an infusion of income. Even better is the opportunity to make steady income from rent. This is one of the few ways a retiree can make new income without going back to work and it comes in like clockwork, unlike the stock market.
One of the biggest challenges of modern retirement is boredom. As medical technology improves, lifespans extend as does health in seniors. This means you are more likely to spend your retirement time looking for things to do, hobbies to start, or family to visit instead of worrying about a stack of medical concerns and limitations.
Unlike your other retirement investments which will quietly accrue interest and pay out on a schedule, owning real estate is the lowest impact way to dip your toe in the business world. While you can hire a property management service to handle everything, you can also become an active and interested landlord. This can be a great way to optimize your investment and find an entertaining retirement activity. With real estate, you can get involved in the community, get to know your renters, and become a part of your own investment.
The vast majority of retirement planning methods involve optimizing a static amount of money. Since the idea is that you have to make it to the end of retirement with however much you saved during your working years, most retirement plans focus either on interest returns or money that can theoretically be made from small stock investments. However, no one really likes the idea of living on savings, even optimized savings, which means that many retirements are much more stressful than they need to be.
Investing in real estate changes the game. It provides a way to generate new income every month that you don't have to go to work to earn. Whether you choose a commercial or residential property to start with, the rent paid by your tenants can not only cover the mortgage and maintenance, it can also add new money to your retirement budget. If you're retirement accounts already cover cost of living, then every rental payment is a little something extra to spend on yourself, your grandkids, or to tuck away if you're worried about running out of the pre-saved funds.
Finally, many retirees worry about what they will leave behind. Life insurance policies and trust funds are often used to ensure that surviving spouses and heirs are guaranteed something after the sad event and many retirement plans include a special clause for paying out to family should the account be left unemptied. However, cash only goes so far and is all too easy to see disappear quickly. Real estate, on the other hand, is something solid that will continue to generate income even after you are no longer the owner. When ownership passes to your surviving spouse or grown children, they will inherit your equity, personal wealth, and a reliable source of income to support them for years to come.
While most people don't think of real estate as a part of traditional retirement planning, it should be. Instead of building a retirement account keyed to the stock market or limited by some small interest rate, consider finding a profitable little property. It'll be paying for itself and producing a rewarding retirement income in a matter of months.

Q: How to know the language of html page? I am creating a crawler that downloads web page documents from website and stores the web page content in database.
I want to store only documents that are in English language.
I can't manage to find out which language is a specific web page in so that i could decide to store it in the database or not.

A: You should use a language recognition. There are some APIs that you can use. It basically consists on that you send the text and it would return the language.
Also you could build your own API by applying some machine learning, where you put several examples of what "English" text means.
I would recommend you to look up in google "Language recognition api" or something like that so you have a more clear idea.

A: I suspect there is no 'one' way of doing this.  Some HTML pages will declare their language, many/most will not.   You will have to come up with some heuristic that determines the language from several methods and decide based upon that info.
Maybe some weighting:

*

*HTML declaration = 0.75

*90% of innerText is 'english' = 0.50

*etc etc etc (can't think of another test)

Then decide if you have reached a reasonable value that you say 'this is definitely english' and off you go.

The Parkit360 SD & HD models can be upgraded (at an additional cost) to the wider 6.5" Intermediate tyres.
These tyres provide a great balance between maximising traction on solid surfaces (such as bitumen or concrete) and providing additional grip when operating over grass or gravel. A great all rounder!
Each tyre has a loading rating of 220kg and at 6.5" wide is the widest tyre available on the market.


Before the work on the building of the system of dams in the Elan and Claerwen valleys could start, it was necessary to build a large private steam railway system. This was needed to carry the heavy and bulky supplies of stone, cement and timber over the huge area of the two valleys.
The Elan Valley Railway was connected to the main Cambrian Railway network near Rhayader station.
Work on the railway started in October 1893, and as soon as the railway line reached a dam site, then work could begin on the foundations of that particular dam.
The line was extended to the site of the farthest dam at Craig Goch by July 1896. There is a map showing this line on another page.
The building of this last section of the track was held up for months because the route was blocked by solid rock. The navvies working on the line called this 'Devil's Gulch', and it looked very similar to the narrow passes through the rocks which were used for ambushes in many Wild West stories !
You can imagine from this old photograph how difficult it would have been to cut a route through the rock using explosives and picks and shovels ! The dam builders had some steam-driven machines, but they were too early to have the use of JCB's !
Today you can walk along the route of the old railway alongside the Pen-y-Garreg Reservoir. The pathway goes through through the Devil's Gulch, which is marked on this recent photograph of the reservoir. But watch out for ambushes !


Lara Dotta is a passionate cyclist, entrepreneur, and designer. She's the brains behind LaClassica, the brand offering handmade Italian cycle wear that combines the latest technology, fashion trends, and a spirit of adventure. Thanks to the perseverance in pursuing her dream, the cycleways have become new catwalks while the sport itself just got prettier and better.
How would you describe LaClassica lifestyle?
What do you focus on while coming up with new design ideas?
First of all, I spend a lot of time on social networks, especially on Instagram. I'm constantly looking for inspiration, something that can give me new ideas. Then, with my team, I focus on choosing the right fabrics, modeling, and colors.
You started cycling at the age of four. How does your approach toward cycling has changed throughout the years?
Many things have changed, I have changed. Until a few years ago, cycling was just pure competition for me. I trained almost every day. I remember that every time I went home from work, I would go straight to my bicycle to ride on the roads or to the gym. Now instead, I practice my beloved sport out of pure passion in serenity and tranquility. I like to be in good shape with my body and at the same time, stay in the middle of nature to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding me landscapes.
You have redefined the cycling wear and combined sport with fashion. In what way inspirations from high fashion catwalks enhance your products?
I wanted to combine two great passions of mine, fashion, and cycling, through simplicity, colors, and most of all, the "Made in Italy" label which in my opinion represents maximum attention to the quality of the raw material as well as an eye for detail. Such approach has an enduring value over time.
In what way can sports fashion influence the overall experience of doing sports?
Through the creation of one's own style. Personally, I want to wear a garment that I like, that represents me and stands out while being comfortable, practical and technical at the same time.
What is the most important cycling accessory you can't live without?
What arguments would you choose to encourage more people to cycle?
Biking is good for your body, it allows you to relax, to free your mind and to stay in the open air. Simply speaking, it makes you happy!
In what ways digital products can improve the cyclist's life?
If we think about it, we'll admit that athletic training follows strict rules. This is why, the technology allows us to constantly monitor our performances, collect useful data on our health, and improve our results.
I'd suggest her to always believe in herself and her passions and to be extremely curious.
Lara Dotta fell in love with cycling and the Northern Classics races thanks to her father, who is a passionate amateur cyclist. She spent her childhood between Veneto and Brianza, racing with a local cycling team until the junior category. After this cycling experience, she started to compete Granfondos and she opened a fashion clothing store, where she was able to express her creativity and style.
LaClassica was born from a dream to join together fashion and cycling. She created a brand totally handmade in Italy with solid values, maintaining her childhood vocation with attention to details and quality. These elements, combined with a constant technical research in order to choose only the best materials, defined the iconic LaClassica's soul.
