Lately I've been craving tapioca. A lot. Coconut tapioca, to be specific. I have a recent dinner hosted by a friend to thank for this hankering, as coconut tapioca was part of that night's menu. There's just something so comforting about tapioca. It's something that brings me back to my childhood, when I would be delighted to get a bowl of coconut milk and tapioca dessert soup after a Cantonese dinner out (rather than the usual standard of red bean soup). And on occasion, my mom would make this incredible baked sago (what we liked to call tapioca) pudding—super eggy, super rich, and super delicious.
Then last week, I had the brilliant Shole Zard dessert at Richmond Station—a Persian saffron pudding. It was ethereal and subtly sweet, with beautiful floral notes from the saffron. I was instantly in love with this dessert, and had been thinking about it ever since.
This tapioca pudding combines the best of both worlds—coconut and saffron. You get that richness from the coconut, and the floral delicateness from the saffron. Not to mention to gorgeous colour! Don't skip the fleur de sel. It really helps bring all the flavours together and brings the pudding to the next level.
I especially love to eat this pudding while it's still warm and super creamy, but the leftovers are equally delicious cold!
Place the tapioca pearls and cold water in a medium bowl, and let soak for 2 hours.
In a medium saucepan, combine milk, coconut milk, sugar, and saffron and bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove the milk mixture from the heat, and let the saffron steep for 10 minutes. Pour the milk through a sieve to remove the saffron, and return the mixture back into the saucepan.
Return the milk to just a simmer over medium heat. Drain the tapioca and add to the milk. Stir continuously until tapioca is tender and translucent, about 4 to 5 minutes, and begins to thicken. Stir in the cornstarch slurry, and heat for another minute. Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with mango, toasted pistachios or almonds, toasted coconut, a couple threads saffron, and a sprinkle of fleur de sel.

Q: Java "new File()" does not create file This will be a really dumb question, but i can't seem to create a new file in java to save my life.
It always throws

java.io.FileNotFoundException: Users/username/Documents/testProject/test.txt (No such file or directory)

I have tried like this:
File newFile = new File("Users/username/Documents/testProject/test.txt");

and tried this:
File newFile = new File("/Users/username/Documents/testProject/test.txt");

What am i doing wrong?
Edit: apparently the issue wasn't there. I was trying to read from an empty file later on in the code, sorry folks.

A: new File("...") does not create a new file.  It creates a new object (in memory) containing a filename.  You can then perform operations like  exists(), canRead() and isDirectory() on it, and you can invoke createNewFile() to create an actual file out of it.

A: Additionally to Mike's answer you will probably need to put double // rather than just a single / as it is used as an escaping sequence. I am not sure if this applies in every situation but in case you still get any errors try this.

Q: How can I pull data on my R shiny server using REST API I have developed a relatively simply R shiny app that does the following:

*

*I input a txt file.

*The txt file is processed.

*A new object is created: timestamp + a number.
I save it in my sql database for instance or I save it as a .txt on my server.

I want to configure an API such as on a specific request it would pull the new object through the R shiny server. I believe I could use plumber but that means to run 2 servers and somehow coordinate the data flow.
Is there a simple solution such as I could get the data using my R shiny server using an api tool and a simple GET?
Thank you


I got a bunch of small, "decorative" quinces from the community garden. It's from Chaenomeles Japonica, Japanese Quince tree. Or rather a bush. They smell really nice, but you can't eat them, they're super sour. Just awful. Perhaps this is why hardly anyone tried to cook them. Mistake! They're perfectly good when cooked.
The process was basically like this: I cut them in half, removed seeds and put them in the pressure cooker for about 10 minutes. That was perfectly enough. Then I used an immersion blender and mashed them into a smooth paste. you might peel them first, but I didn't and it didn't matter. The next steps are crucial to make the cheese or jelly gain the desired consistency. You keep it on the heat to bubble, add sugar (I think about 1:1 but I might be wrong) and stir it until the paste changes color to kind of red or dark orange. When you're satisfied with how dense it is, pour it on a tray and let it cool down. You can also put it in jars and use as jam. It lasts long and doesn't spoil easily.
What to say, it was very tasty and you should totally try it!

Today, my interview with Brad and Jonathan from Choose FI was released. In it, we discuss the topic of hyperdebt among recent grads. The podcast can be found at their website, so please have a listen!
If you enjoyed the content, here are other related topics that you may also find useful!
Also, since the podcast's recording, we have successfully been able to purchase a home! On top of paying down student debt at a rapidly fast rate! Here are a few samples of the new set of posts regarding property ownership.

Some of the best values at Sanford Stadium are located in the corner of the lower level. In particular, the highest rows in Sections 112-116 offer a fantastic experience. These top rows are shaded from the sun, have the same view as the club level, are close to the lower concourse and cost a fraction of the price of club seats. There are better views close to midfield, but they'll usually cost twice as much.
Unfortunately, sections 112 through 114 are usually reserved for students. If you're able to secure tickets in or around this area, beware that it may be a little more rowdy than the rest of the stadium.

So you've learned a few chords and diligently done your scales every day (you did practice your scales right?), and now you feel like you want to try playing some songs. Here are some lists of easy guitar songs you can play based on what chords you know.
There is more to what makes a strumming song (for example) difficult than how fast it is; the length of the rhythmic pattern in measures is a factor and also how syncopated the rhythm is affect the overall complexity of the song. Also, not every song on this list is just strumming entirely – some have a guitar riff here and there, and others might have a bass-strum pattern. A bass-strum pattern is a technique in which the guitar player plays the root note of the chord, or the lower notes of the chord, and then strums the chord once or a few times. It's a pretty common technique.
You can check out the song lists by clicking on the links below, or by selecting the page from the drop down menu on the main navigation menu above.

Trail Quest: Upper Santa Ynez Camp
In the mountains behind Carpinteria, upstream from Jameson Lake, are the humble beginnings of the Santa Ynez River. The 92-mile long river stretches west from these headwaters, through the Santa Ynez Valley towards Lompoc, and arrives at the Pacific Ocean near Surf Beach.
Upper Santa Ynez Camp is located along the upper reaches of the river and can make for an interesting destination while visiting the headwaters. During the spring, when there is reliable water at the camp, it can also be visited as part of a backpacking trip.
The camp can be reached from the Matilija Trailhead, past Ojai, as well as from Romero-Camuesa Road along the upper Santa Ynez River. The camp, which is along Juncal Road, is roughly midway between these two trailheads. However, the hike from the Matilija Trailhead is more shaded and is the shorter route for reaching the camp and the headwaters of the river.
The Santa Ynez Mountains are seen from Monte Arido Road
From the Matilija Trailhead it's about 11.5 miles round trip to the camp, plus another 2-mile roundtrip side hike to visit the headwaters. A shuttle trip can also be made by arranging for a ride or having a car at each of the trailheads and hiking from one to other. The distance between the two trailheads is roughly 12.5 miles. The route also makes for a great mountain bike ride through the backcountry.
To get to the Matilija Trailhead from Santa Barbara, make your way to Ojai. From Ojai continue north on State Route 33 to Matilija Canyon Road. Turn left onto Matilija Canyon Road. The road follows Matilija Creek upstream and arrives at a locked gate. Parking is found in the pullouts near gate.
From the trailhead, continue along the road as it leads past several ranches and up Matilija Canyon. Please respect private property.
Roughly three-quarters of a mile from the trailhead, the unpaved road arrives at the beginning of North Fork Matilija Trial, which leads into Upper North Fork Matilija Canyon and Matilija Wilderness. Just past this juncture, along the road, is the beginning of Murietta Trail, which leads up Murietta Canyon. Juncal Road continues another half-mile up Matilija Canyon, before then turning and heading up Murietta Canyon as well.
Map courtesy Maps.com
From the road, Murietta Trail starts off through a mix of chaparral. Here, one can see ceanothus, chamise, and black sage, as well as some toyon, manzanita, and holly-leaf cherry. As the trail nears the creek it starts to become more shaded with sycamore, cottonwood, and even some California black walnut. Where the trail first nears the creek there is still some water flowing, but by the time the trail arrives at the first crossing, the creek is dry.
At about the 1.75-mile mark, the trail arrives at Murietta Camp. The camp is on a small flat under several coast live oaks and has three campsites, each with an adjustable metal grill. Currently there is no water at the camp.
Murietta Camp is named for Joaquin Murietta, the famous outlaw, who is said to have used the canyon as one of his hideouts.
Murietta Canyon is seen from Juncal Road
Past the camp, the trail continues upstream and connects with Juncal Road. From here, follow the road as it makes its way up Murietta Canyon.
At about the 4.5-mile mark, the road arrives at Murietta Spring. The spring, with its reliable trickle of water, is a welcome sight along the road and is surrounded by lush green ferns and shaded with alder trees.
About a half-mile past the spring, the road arrives at the top of the canyon and Murietta Divide where it meets Monte Arido Road.
To reach the headwaters of the Santa Ynez River, turn right and continue another mile along Monte Arido Road. The road follows the ridge separating the Ventura and Santa Ynez River watersheds and offers views out across the canyon towards the Santa Ynez Mountains and, to the east, towards Topatopa Bluff.
Murietta Pond
Eventually, Murietta Pond comes into view as the road rounds a corner. From the road there is a short, somewhat overgrown side road that leads down to the pond and its earthen dam. The pond, nestled here at the very headwaters of the Santa Ynez River, is something of an oasis. Surrounded by chaparral, the pond provides enough moisture for willow, mule fat, and cottonwood to grow. In the soft mud at the edges of the pond one can find the tracks of deer and fox.
To reach Upper Santa Ynez Camp, return to Murietta Divide and continue west along Juncal Road. The road descends down a side canyon and is mostly unshaded. About a mile from Murietta Divide, the road arrives at the Santa Ynez River, appearing here as little more than a creek. At the crossing one can find alder, maple, and cottonwood, and a refreshingly cold pool of water, an oasis of a different kind. Currently, there is still a trickle of water in the creek, but it is drying up.
Just past the creek crossing, on the right, is Upper Santa Ynez Camp. The camp is nestled under a couple of coast live oaks and features a picnic table, fire ring, and the remains of a pedestal grill.
Jameson Lake is seen from Juncal Road
The site was likely used by the Chumash traveling between the village of Mat'ilha, or Matilija as the Spanish referred to it, along the Ventura River and the village of Shnaxalyiwi, or Najalayegua, along the Santa Ynez River.
To reach Shnaxalyiwi from Mat'ilha, the Chumash would've traveled upstream along the Ventura River to Matilija Canyon, and from there continued up Murietta Canyon to Murietta Divide. There, they would've entered the Santa Ynez River drainage and made their way down to the river, and then followed it downstream to Shnaxalyiwi.
The site later served as a hunting camp that was along the trail used by settlers to travel behind the mountains from the Upper Santa Ynez River to Ojai. The old trail was effectively replaced with the construction of Juncal Road during the 1930s.
Past Upper Santa Ynez Camp, Juncal Road continues down through the canyon, eventually crossing the river, before climbing out of the canyon. Here, the road continues above the river, offering views downstream towards Jameson Lake.
The road then joins the ridge separating Alder Creek from the Santa Ynez River. At about the 3.25-mile mark from Upper Santa Ynez Camp, the road arrives at the turnoff for Alder Creek and the beginning of Franklin Trail.
Alder Creek
Alder Creek is another oasis along the route and well worth the quarter-mile detour along the side road that leads down to the creek. Here, the creek has clear, flowing water year-round. Just upstream, is a small diversion dam across the creek that carries water via a flume to Jameson Lake. At the base of the dam is an enchanting pool to cool off in.
From the turnoff to Alder Creek, Juncal Road continues along the ridge overlooking Jameson Lake and Juncal Dam. The dam was built in 1930, and is one of three dams along the Santa Ynez River. The road then drops back down to the river and follows it to Romero-Camuesa Road. Here, a locked Forest Service marks the other trailhead.
To start the hike from this side or to arrange a shuttle trip, from Santa Barbara make your way towards Gibraltar Road. Follow Gibraltar Road to the top of the Santa Ynez Mountains and turn right onto East Camino Cielo Road. East Camino Cielo continues east along the top of the mountains, before becoming unpaved and descending down the backside of the mountains. The road then arrives at the Santa Ynez River. Just past this first crossing is the beginning of Juncal Road and the trailhead.
This article originally appeared in section A of the July 4th, 2016 edition of Santa Barbara News-Press.
Jameson Lake
I had originally thought of calling this article Trail Quest: Murietta Pond, but it sounded too obscure so I changed it to Upper Santa Ynez Camp. I had seen Murietta Pond on Bryan Conant's map of the Dick Smith Wilderness over the years and had always been a little intrigued by it. In fact, when I made the hike to Divide Peak in 2014 (Trail Quest: Divide Peak), I was tempted to hike over there and check it out, but didn't feel like I had enough time. But what really got me sold on the destination was Valerie Norton's post on Old Man Mountain, which included a great shot of the pond. In fact, I wish I'd gone there in the spring, because the photos I took just didn't come out as good.
At any rate, my idea was to write two articles back to back. The first one would lead to Murietta Pond and talk about Upper Santa Ynez Camp as a way of describing the upper reaches of the Santa Ynez River drainage and the second would be about Surf Beach, which is near the mouth of the Santa Ynez River. Clever? Just one problem.
Although, I knew part of the beach at Surf would be closed due to the Snowy Plover, I was imagining something more along the lines of Sands Beach at Coal Oil Point Reserve where just the dunes are closed but you can still walk the length of the beach. So on a Saturday, I hiked from the Matilija Trailhead to Murietta Pond, with a side trip over to Upper Santa Ynez Camp. On Sunday, I went to Surf Beach and to my surprise discovered that what the closure meant there was that the beach was cordoned off a short way in both directions from the entrance, leaving me with nothing to hike or write about.
And so I had to content myself with just the one article. I also had originally planned on just coming in from the Matilija side, but while I was out there it occurred to me that now that I'd changed the name to Upper Santa Ynez Camp, which is more or less midway between the Matilija Trailhead and Romero-Camuesa Road, that I was almost obligated to hike it from both sides. And so I went back the next weekend and hiked it from that side. So, yeah if I'd planned it all out better I could've done it as a shuttle hike instead of two 14-mile day hikes in 90 degree weather.
Another thread that emerged that encouraged me to hike to Upper Santa Ynez Camp from both sides was the awareness that this was likely the route the Chumash took traveling between Mat'ilha (Matilija) and Shnaxalyiwi (Najalayegua). And so referencing that seemed just as interesting as talking about the headwaters of the Santa Ynez River.

The "walk of shame" that teens like to snigger about has a whole new meaning these days, especially when applied to companies and organisations recovering from reputation damage.
I recently described an email United Airlines sent to me (and many others) apologising for its brutal bumping of a customer from a Chicago flight. As its chief executive Oscar Munoz attested, the company is now in effect doing a big public "walk of shame", promising no more armed law enforcement officers (except in security or safety emergencies), less red tape, and so on. However, I wonder if they will cease their overbooking practices?
It's true that it takes 20 years to build a company's reputation, and just minutes to lose it. Warren Buffett said that, and he certainly knows what he's talking about. So assuming your reputation-challenged company isn't a loony Black Knight, what are some steps toward recovery?
Some people and organisations do this poorly. They write or say words to the effect that they "regret what happened" (not really), but show few other signs of recognising the effect of their actions. Most of us can spot a Clayton's apology a mile away.
Show contrition, be graceful and mean it. Hear and feel what the people you affected need you to say.
Address the issues that caused your reputation to wobble — the causes, not the symptoms. The stuff your stakeholders (customers) already know about you. The issues employees are bottling up, for fear of losing their jobs. The very inconvenient truths few are willing to address.
If, after your stuff-up, you concede that the customer is "king" (or queen), then sometimes this means reshaping company policies to fit their needs. So, for example, not doing a United Airlines-type mixed message: throwing money at passengers to voluntarily give up their seats and leave the flight, and then forcing them off when they refuse.
It takes considerable thought and energy to reconfigure what may be long-established or funky new company policies and approaches, but putting profits before ethics is not going to cut it. Start practising how to deal with future blow-ups, and use this unfortunate experience as your best teacher.
Ask the hard questions and examine external standards and practices, not the internal policies and standards that may have put you in this mess to begin with. Credibility, like respect, must be earned. Ask yourselves, are we really looking into how things can be improved so this major miss-step never happens again?
Build your positive picture, develop new big positive stories that help when people search for your company name. This is a massive task and cannot be done overnight. Sadly, the internet houses shame effectively.
Even if your company is currently top of the pops and raking in huge dividends, use the good times to find out what your stakeholders really think of your business, in detail. Access the truth about how the world sees your business. Chances are, there may be some smarties who aren't that impressed. Get out and do something about how you're seen in the world, and prepare yourselves for when things may not be great.
This means not being closed off from the world, other departments, or whichever other areas happen to be in your orbit. It requires not relying on insiders to tell you how you're travelling. Cultivate outsiders, even those who've vocally asserted that the emperor/empress has no clothes. Social media will do this for you anyway, but you can choose to pursue considered opinions and invite feedback on a confidential basis.
There are often high profile examples in the news. Those people make the mistake of listening to their echo chambers (flatterers and inner-circle types who back-slap and reinforce poor practices on the basis that everyone else is an uncomprehending idiot). Way to go! All the way down to company and reputation oblivion.
Some companies and organisations believe that if they throw a few goodies to customers and stakeholders, all will be forgiven. Er, no. Loyalty is a much-abused term these days.
It's best to be consistent, consistently good, open to fresh ideas and input, and responsive to people's needs. Focus on substantial ways that restore you in the public good books. Be 100% committed.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Police are advising local businesses to double-check any cash they accept after $1 million worth of fake "movie money" was reportedly stolen out of a car in Newport on Thursday.
A car was broken into yesterday at the north end of Newport, although police did not clarify exactly where or when. Along with other items, the car's owner reported $1 million in prop money was taken, all in $10, $20 and $100 denominations.

All of the dollar bills are reportedly marked with "For Motion Picture Use Only" and "Copy" but officials say the movie money is still very similar to real US currency. They say the same type of prop money has created issues for businesses in the past.
"The Newport Police Department would like to take this opportunity to warn local businesses and the public about the 'counterfeit' money that could begin circulating and to remind all to be diligent, especially in light of this theft, in the proper identification of any currency you take," Newport PD said in a statement. "Aside from the obvious print, warning that the currency is for Motion Picture Use only, it will also feel different from authentic US currency."

Anyone with any information about this incident is urged to contact Officer Jon Humphreys with Newberg PD and reference case #22N-00610.


The goals of this project are to characterise the pond microbiology across the Bratina Island, Miers Mouth, and Koettlitz Glacier study sites using DNA fingerprinting and high throughput sequencing. We will compare the communities within and between sites as well as along the geochemical gradients found within selected ponds in an attempt to identify key geochemical environmental drivers. Additionally we will develop a molecular method to determine microscopic human impact to the environment using off the shelf highly sensitive genetic technologies and attempt to identify the effects unintentional contamination may have on the pond environments.

Award winning advisers take on QROPS
QROPS are a niche market for those with larger pension funds where there is a risk of a Lifetime Allowance Charge or an unfavourable double tax treaty. Most transfers are unnecessary with an expensive insurance bond attached.
Pensions are impacted by Double Tax Treaties (a lot)
If you think by moving your pension you can avoid tax where you live…think again!
QROPS Pensions | Qualifying Recognised Overseas Pension Scheme
Should you even be considering a QROPS Pension? We publish simple information below to allow you to decide.
Whilst they may be the first type of pension you consider as an expat, the truth is that a SIPP may be the better option. For more information, visit our SIPPs page.
Overseas Tax Charge
The latest changes to the Finance Act 2004 were announced and became immediately effective on 8th March 2017. From that date a 25% Overseas Transfer Charge (OTC) will be levied on transfers as they leave the UK unless one of the five following conditions are met:
The member is tax resident in the same jurisdiction as the QROPS Pension is established at the date of the transfer
Member is tax resident in the EEA or the pension is established in EEA
It is an occupational scheme and the member is an employee of the employer sponsoring the scheme
It is a Public Sector Scheme and the member is an employee of the employer sponsoring the scheme
It is set up by an International Organisation and the member is an employee of the employer sponsoring the scheme
A QROPS Pension is simply a Trust Arrangement that follows UK Pension rules
Read the list of who should not consider an overseas pension first. If you are on this list then you should not consider a transfer overseas other than in exceptional circumstances!
Who should NOT be considering a generic QROPS?
Those with a fund less than £150,000
Anyone returning to UK to live, especially approaching or in retirement, unless their fund is likely to exceed the UK lifetime allowance
Those whose spouse or future beneficiaries are likely to be living in the UK, or who will move to the UK after the death of the original pension holder
People living in certain countries that will not recognise the tax position of a "generic" overseas pension – this includes but is not restricted to France, Canada, Australia and the USA. It is possible to utilise dedicated pension plans for these countries
Who could be considering a QROPS?
Anyone, including expatriates and UK residents, approaching lifetime allowance (as QROPS does not count towards lifetime allowance)
Everyone overseas who is likely to exceed £1m in pension fund by retirement
Expats that live in a country with no double tax agreement with UK, and are likely to be taxed twice, or pay unnecessary tax in the UK
UK based people on a fixed salary scheme who are going to exceed/approaching lifetime limit (e.g. University professors)
Those expats approaching 75 who feel 'When I die I want whole amount to pay out in one lump, tax free'
AVOID HUGE COMMISSIONS: We will conduct business at minimal cost to you
Contrary to how most overseas expat advisers operate, we work exclusively on a transparent fee-based model, and do NOT charge any commissions. Click for more information on who we are and how we charge › and comparing Fees versus Commissions ›
Are you TOO YOUNG to be considering a this?
New UK rules mean that no-one has to purchase an annuity anymore. In fact, anyone up to the age of 75 can take however much of their pension as they wish, and leave a lump sum on death to their beneficiaries tax free. In fact, at any age they can also access as much of the fund as they want, with 25% of that tax free, a tax free personal allowance available in each tax year, and then pay marginal income tax on amounts drawn over their allowances.
The UK has Double tax Treaties with countries all over the world to ensure that in most cases expatriates will have no further tax to pay, or indeed they can transfer their tax to their country of residence and pay any due there. All in all, a UK pension held in the UK often as a SIPP is very attractive!
Further, they are very costly compared with a UK pension and it is therefore worthwhile finding out if the advantages that a they have over the age of 75, or for people with substantial funds, is actually worthwhile considering.
Overseas pension territories have their own Double Tax Treaties with various countries that are not always as flexible as UK pensions meaning that you could end up paying an income tax charge where you are resident, or on death, your beneficiaries may pay an income tax charge in the country they live in. This may actually be at a disadvantage over a UK pension and so should be compared before transferring. The balance has to be between additional costs and any tax differential between a UK pension and an overseas pension. Contact us for analysis on your situation.
What other considerations should there be for specific overseas pension or indeed a SIPP?

If you have already purchased an annuity? UK Pensions for Expats

Still a UK resident with fund unlikely to grow above £800,000 and no intention of moving overseas? UK Pensions for Expats
Will become a UK resident during retirement, with fund unlikely to grow above £800,000?
Why pay tax that you do not have to?
Depending on your status and current location, along with future living plans, we can answer your queries and provide qualified and expert advice, without any further obligation from you. We publish the main countries and how tax in impacted for all our clients.
The key here is that one size does not fit all. It should not be taken for granted that an overseas pension is the best solution as it is "Tax-free"; as from April 2015 a UK pension scheme offers many of the equivalent flexible arrangements of an overseas pension at a much lower cost. Even where there are small advantages, the extra costs outweigh the tax impact.
Income from UK pension arrangements is taken according to the relevant Double Tax Treaty (DTT) which can allow tax to be taken in the country of residency; if there is no DTT, or if the DTT specifies that tax will be imposed in the UK, then there will be a band of 0% (Personal allowance) if unused, and then a withholding tax of 20%; this tax is applied to everyone in receipt of UK pension income whether or not they live in the UK and with no exemption for foreign nationals. More ›
The key here is ultimately a resident will pay tax in in the country they are resident in, and in many cases there is little difference in the ultimate tax paid irrespective of whether the pension fund is held in the UK or elsewhere. However, there are a few countries where transferring pension rights to an overseas pension scheme means that income tax on pension income can be legitimately avoided, even where there is no UK double tax treaty with the country. We publish the main countries and how tax in impacted for all our clients.
Transferring pension rights to an overseas pension scheme means that UK Lifetime Allowance of £1,000,000 can be legitimately avoided (Dated Jan 2018 and subject to review and legislation changes).
Investment allocation for a qualifying recognised overseas pension scheme
UK pension funds in the past often had a bias towards investment in UK assets. This is no longer the case with us being able offer multi-currency and international funds. It is true that overseas pension funds provide the scope for diversifying, as well as the option for more personalised investment management but the advantages from 2009 have largely been offset by 2015, and they are lower cost in the UK.
We offer personalised investment management with all the main custodians including Old Mutual, Royal Skandia, RL360, Generali, Hansard at ZERO commission (reducing your charges considerably). As a preferable alternative we offer platform custodians such as Ascentric, Transact, AJ Bell, Platform 1 and others from the UK and the USA where we are regulated.
UK pension transfers by overseas advisers
Beware recommendations of an investment made into an investment bond / insurance bond via an overseas pension. This is often very costly bad advice dictated by the limited licences and lack of knowledge of the advisers / advisors, especially in the USA! In fact some of the better advice, following UK regulations, is only available through quality specialist pension advisers who understand regulations in the UK, and do not base their advice on who pays the highest commission.
Overseas pension schemes allow for the payment of pensions in currencies other than Sterling, providing a valuable safeguard for expats. UK pension trustees also now allow for currencies other than sterling to be held and utilised.
UK money purchase schemes have no tax deducted on death in the UK if the settlor is under the age of 75. There is no 45 or 55% death tax anymore, and an overseas pension is actually at a disadvantage to a UK pension now because of the extra trustee costs required and restrictions since 2017.
Where a transfer offshore continues to enjoy an advantage over SIPP / UK pensions is if the settlor/pensioner is over 74. However, if you are over 74, then even with a UK pension all is not lost anymore. The fund can be handed down to beneficiaries as a pension fund without any tax penalties, although beneficiaries in the UK will have to pay tax on anything they receive at their marginal tax rate. If they are not in the UK, then they will have to pay income tax as residents in the country they are in. If they do not want a fund, and what full access then only until 5th April 2016, they must pay a 45% one-off tax charge on the fund. This is currently under review with a view to removing it from April 2016. This allows for "generational planning in the UK", something a non-UK pension also does.
In essence, if you are under 73 we see no advantage in considering moving a UK pension over a SIPP for death tax avoidance reasons.
Overseas pension schemes will usually ensure that residual pension funds pass to the intended beneficiaries as would be the case in the UK, although they have some advantages if the settlor is over the age 74, or if the fund is in excess of the UK Lifetime Allowance (Currently £1 million but subject to legislation increasing by 3% in April 2018).
Why would a SIPP be better than a QNUPS or QROPS?
With the new rules introduced in April 2015 then some benefits, such as income and flexibility to take capital have improved dramatically under a SIPP. Also, the fact is that an overseas pension or QNUPS is far more expensive than most SIPP products, if not initially then in terms of annual charges. Also, whilst a SIPP may not have the same flexibility in terms of investments, those investments will not come in an investment bond, and therefore be a fraction of the cost, thus improving returns over an overseas pension, and where there are lower charges it means there is lower risk.
In most cases, but not all, for people up to the age of 74, they are better off with a SIPP for retirement. More ›
Depending on the jurisdiction chosen for the Overseas Pension Scheme, there is the potential for greater protection against creditors and other claimants than is typically available in the UK. However, this has to be balanced against protection available on regulated funds and advice which is higher in the UK, Australia and the USA than anywhere else.
Please note: We have a UK qualified G60 adviser who can provide advice on whether pension transfers should be considered by you as they are not right for everybody. You cannot transfer a pension if you are already taking income from a final salary / occupational scheme. Nor can you transfer a state pension to another pension, or if you have purchased an annuity.

Pilot Catastrophe Services alleged to owe adjusters unpaid overtime wages
By Kristine Gonzales-Abella | Aug 8, 2018
HOUSTON – A Dallas County woman alleges an insurance carrier claims processing company failed to pay for overtime work.
Tameika Price, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, filed a complaint on July 20 in the Houston Division of the Southern District of Texas against Pilot Catastrophe Services Inc. alleging violation the Fair Labor Standards Act.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff was employed by the defendant in September 2017 as an adjuster and was paid on a day-rate basis. The suit states she was given the title of adjuster but really performed the duties of an inspector. She alleges that she regularly worked more than 40 hours per week without receiving proper overtime compensation.
The plaintiff holds Pilot Catastrophe Services Inc. responsible because the defendant allegedly failed to maintain accurate time and pay records and failed to pay her at a rate of time-and-one-half of her regular rate of pay for overtime hours worked.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks an order allowing this action to proceed as a collective action, award for all unpaid overtime compensation, liquidated damages, attorneys' fees and costs, with interest and such other and further relief justly entitled. She is represented by Melissa Moore, Curt Hesse and Bridget Davidson of Moore & Associates in Houston.

Tesla Sets Price of China-Made Model Y SUV Below Competitors
Tesla Inc. will start deliveries of its China-made Model Y SUV this month to customers in the country, as it set the vehicle at a price below some of its rivals to maintain a competitive edge.
The Model Y starts from 339,900 yuan ($52,074), while the Model Y Performance car will be from 369,900 yuan, Tesla China said in a statement on Friday. Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has said the Model Y has the potential to outsell all other vehicles it makes.
Tesla also launched a modified Model 3 sedan which remained at a post-subsidy price of 249,900 yuan for the basic version. The Model 3 qualifies for China's national subsidy for electric vehicles, while the Model Y doesn't.
China is Tesla's largest market after the U.S., with sales in Asia's biggest economy topping 120,000 units in 2020, according to the latest local registration data. Tesla is still ramping up production in Shanghai, prompting analysts to forecast that China will account for a bigger slice of its sales and earnings going forward.
The Model Y, a SUV crossover that has a driving range of up to 594 kilometers (369 miles), is expected to help the electric carmaker expand its product lineup and target on a bigger customer base.
Tesla regularly topped monthly premium electric vehicle sales tallies in 2020, helped by the sedans coming out from its multi billion dollar plant that was launched with much fanfare in Shanghai the year before. Still, last year was also marked by rivals catching up, and 2021 is expected to hand the company stiffer competition.
A trio of local champions Nio Inc., Xpeng Inc. and Li Auto Inc. has emerged. They are enjoying backing from government entities or internet giants, and the three startups are quickly winning fans, with sales of their electric SUVs, sedans and crossovers rising in 2020 and their shares surging. Nio's electric SUV for example, sells at 368,000 yuan or more.

Church attendance software can help keep people from falling through the cracks. It's hard to remember who was here and who has been missing for a few weeks. Software can help prevent that.
But what should you look for in attendance software?
Keep it simple. If all you are looking for is attendance tracking, you don't need full- featured church office software. Some of the church directory software programs have what you need.
Tie it to an email system. It is helpful to be able to send a person an email. You should also be able to send emails to individuals, groups, or the entire congregation. This is important. When people aren't in attendance for a few weeks, your software should show this. You can then follow up with an email. You can also send email reminders about special activities – to groups or to the entire congregation.
Give access to multiple people. Attendance records aren't anything that need to be kept overly private. So make it easy on your staff. Give several people the ability to update the attendance logs.
Tie it to a visitation record. If the person hasn't been to church in several weeks, someone should at least send a note, call them on the phone, or go visit them. Some church software packages allow you to keep track of visitation.
You want to keep it simple, but you might have to purchase a church software package that does more than what you need it to do. That is because you don't have a lot of options. Some of the church financial software packages have attendance capabilities. You can just not use the accounting portion of the software. Plus, the accounting option will be there if and when you need it.
If you are looking for only an attendance package, you might consider something that you could already have. Microsoft Access is a great tool for this type of function. You will need someone who knows how to set up a database. But once it is set up, anyone can easily enter attendance records. You could also use Microsoft Excel or even Word. Just put the names of people in one column and then a check box in the next column. At the top of each column, put a date. Using these software tools limits your ability to do things like email people directly from the software. But if you already have any of these programs, free is something to be considered.
You don't have to get a full-featured software program if all you are looking for is something to record attendance. Unfortunately, there are few software packages dedicated to just attendance. You might want to consider church attendance software with a few more features.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) Phillies slugger Bryce Harper will miss the start of the 2023 season after he had reconstructive right elbow surgery on Wednesday.
The operation was performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles.
Harper is expected to return to Philadelphia's lineup as the designated hitter by the All-Star break. He could be back in right field by the end of the season, according to the team.
The 30-year-old Harper suffered a small ulnar collateral ligament tear in his elbow in April. He last played right field at Miami on April 16. He had a platelet-rich plasma injection in May and shifted to designated hitter.
Harper met Nov. 14 with ElAttrache, who determined the tear did not heal on its own, necessitating surgery.
Even with the elbow injury, Harper led the Phillies to their first World Series since 2009, where they lost in six games to Houston. He hit .349 with six homers and 13 RBIs in 17 postseason games.
In late June, Harper suffered a broken thumb when he was hit by a pitch and was sidelined for two months. The two-time NL MVP still hit .286 with 18 homers and 65 RBIs for the season.
Harper left Washington and signed a 13-year, $330 million contract with the Phillies in 2019. A seven-time All-Star, Harper has 285 career home runs.
With Harper out, the Phillies could use Nick Castellanos and Kyle Schwarber at designated hitter. J.T. Realmuto also could serve as the DH when he needs a break from his catching duties.

Deadly Road Rage in La Porte: Police hunt for gunman who killed 29-year-old Eli Laughlin on SH-146
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) – The family of a 29-year-old man was shot and killed in an incident road rage incident in La Porte are desperately begging the public to help find the shooter and get justice for their loved ones.
Eli Laughlin, a process operator, was driving home from work on the southbound lanes of Highway 146 between Baytown and Barbour's Cut Avenue between 4 p.m. and 4:15 p.m. on Wednesday.
He was in a white Ford F-150 when there was some kind of heated confrontation on the road, and the suspect in a Chevy Colorado with darkened windows, was caught following him, shot and killed him, according to the police department. close to La Porte.
Laughlin leaves behind a wife, and her parents talk to ABC13.
Shelby Moseley said: "This is what every parent-in-law wants for their daughter. "This guy is the perfect textbook."
"Justice for Eli. That's what we need for Eli. He's an angel from the earth," said Sherry Moseley, the victim's mother-in-law. "He always had a smile on his face."
Shelby and Sherry Moseley said their daughter has only been married to Laughlin for a year and a half, but has been dating for many years and has big plans.
"Eli was on her way home to connect with her aunt," said Shelby Moseley. "They want to go check out this house and surprise Elisha with it."
Muslims witnessed road rage after street rage was reported on the news but never imagined it would be their family members, like so many victims of senseless violence.
"Everybody thinks it's not going to happen to them. That's probably a bad idea," said Shelby Moseley. "Houston drivers need to take their time, drive with patience, plan their routes and leave earlier than usual. We're all in traffic together."
Laughlin's brother, Clay Heiskell, will remember him as a smiling, loving man who was the breadwinner of their family.
"Eli is that guy," Heiskell said. "Always with a smile, all family events, if it's a big one, it all depends on whether he's there or not."
The family hopes the surveillance footage will help bring down the shooter and that witnesses will come forward.
Sherry Moseley said: "It is time to move forward and time to be yourself. "We need witnesses to come forward. A lot of people have come forward. We appreciate the La Porte Police Department, but it's important for the family to (let) the witnesses come forward."
While the shooter was on the run, the family worried that someone else's loved one might be next.
"Finding this person won't bring Eli back," Heiskell said. "This person being punished won't make us feel any better. But without him coming forward, we can only assume he's a dangerous, violent, and someone giving up. It's only a matter of time before missing someone important in their lives." family."
Anyone with information in this case is urged to call La Porte PD Detective Dutch Lane at 281-842-3141 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Texas Avenue Park in Webster, Texas, is a cute spot for families. With fun activities for older kids at hand, as well as playgrounds for toddlers, parents can relax under the shade on picnic tables and watch the kids play.
…maybe the good times are reserved only for locals. If you walk into the park on your own, at twilight after it rains, you might be in for a nightmarish surprise.
Especially not if you are new to the area. Our psychic source, who prefers to be called Angela, had the strangest tale to tell. "It all began a little while after I moved there," she said.
The scent would have attracted her anyway, even if she was in control of her body. "I saw the green water then. I slowly walked towards the edge and jumped." She does not remember climbing out. She fell underneath the water. The scent of lilies filled her nostrils before the water attacked her.
"I wanted to scream, but I couldn't." Her legs still would not obey her. She felt as if she had blocks of cement around her feet. But she regained control of her arms. She flailed, waving her arms around. Then she touched the edge.
"I opened my eyes and found myself on my back on the wet grounds. My clothes were dry. The scent of lilies was gone." But the nightmares remained.
Every town has its secrets, rumors, and legends. Dig deep enough and you will uncover ghosts, ghoulies, and paranormal imprints frightening enough to give you lifelong nightmares.
The unknown entity is something that has never been seen before. Some residents, and group of local psychics, believe it might be a demon.
Others believe that it's just another form of a ghost. A more powerful ghost than before.
And this one goes in for the kill. If Angela had not touched the edge, which was when her torture ended, she might not have lived to tell the tale.
So be careful when you roam Texas Avenue Park in Webster because you might not be so lucky.

Q: SQL Replace Commas in the a row of a table I have table test( ID Numeric(11,0), report varchar(255) )
and data looks below
1   ,Age,,,,,,family_status,,,,,,
2   ,,,,,,,,retaliation,hostile environment,,,,
3   ,,,,,,,,,,,,,
4   ,,,,,,,,retaliation,,,,,
5   ,,,,,,,,,hostile environment,,,,
6   ,Age,,,,,,,,,,,,
7   ,,,,national_origin,,,,,,,,,
8   Sex,,,,,,,,,,,,,
9   ,,,,national_origin,,disability,,retaliation,,,,,
10  Sex,,,,,,,,retaliation,,,,,
11  ,,,,,,,,

and i would like to update this table by replacing or using any other data scribing to  remove extra commas so that data looks
1   Age,family_status
2   retaliation,hostile environment
3
4   retaliation
5   hostile environment
6   Age
7   national_origin,
8   Sex
9   national_origin,disability,retaliation
10  Sex,retaliation
11

i try to use the below statement but not sure how to loop through so that it will check and remove all the commas
UPDATE table test SET report = replace(report , ',,', ',')

A: If you are just doing this as a one off task (rather than a scripted process you expect to use repeatedly) you could always just run this query repeatedly until you get 0 rows updated
UPDATE table test SET report = replace(report , ',,', ',')
WHERE report like '%,,%'

If you need to do this over and over, or put it in a program I recommend using your procedural (non SQL code) to do the replace where you have better text manipulation commands.
If you aren't thrilled with that, check out this blog article I wrote on a similar problem of replacing repeating spaces from a string.
