Buying a home is not as easy as it may sound. It is even more challenging to acquire luxury ones and with the variety of choices nowadays from Trump mansions to a plethora of new high end condo units, it can definitely cause a headache. Consider these tips that The Peterson Group Bespoke Condominium and Residences, expert in finding the best homes for expatriates in Singapore, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Indonesia and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, has prepared for you:

1. Learn the Search Process

It is not enough that you hire people to do the searching for you. True, the legalities and the systems may be complicated but it is also important for you to be aware of it. At least review the basics so as not to be left at the dark.

According to Remy Cook of Virginia Cook Realtors, “Many luxury homes go unlisted to protect a seller's privacy. These properties are often found through the Realtor's personal connections as opposed to the MLS”.

2. Go Beyond the Photos

In this world where editing is highly advanced that it is highly impossible to know which image is fraud, make sure you don’t dismiss properties based on the front elevation photos. Although they may be luxurious, many large homes aren’t photogenic that way and you have to see them in person to appreciate. Realtors often advice clients do a search of the property and vicinity even on Google Earth so they can see what’s around the home.

It is important to work with someone who is knowledgeable with the area you are interested in. These people should also be experts in the regulations and local laws on land and property acquisition in the area.

4. Document all your Transactions

It is best to be sure of all your assets. Financial documentation is also critical. When dealing with monetary aspects, let the bank be your intermediary to ensure security and safety. Besides it is not a lowly cottage you will be buying but a high end property which involves ample amount of money.

5. Ensure Title Insurance

You need to get title insurance so you’ll be insured against any problems that were forgotten about. You want to make sure you have a chance to have a look at the exceptions page of the title insurance process before closing time.

For over 200 years might and money have kept the powerful in power in America. Throughout her history America’s organized, powerful few have exploited the unorganized, powerless many and militarily claimed the lives of countless millions throughout the world all for the sake of ever more profit and ever more power. Her might along with her hush money in the form particularly of social welfare (which, however, is dwarfed by corporate welfare), tax exemptions for charities, government grants, foundation grants mostly derived from corporations’ vulgar (i.e., ill gotten) wealth, and foreign aid have kept the powerless at home and away from storming the fortress.

The foregoing is the backdrop for this essay, the true tale of an odyssey through the land of tax-exempt NGOs called by some either the “non-profit industrial complex” or the “charitable industrial complex” that stages change all the while serving the powerful, most especially the corpocracy, the collusion between corrupt corporations and corrupt government that is the most monstrous power on earth.

The essay is not a report from an in-depth investigative journalism with its intensive interviewing and revealing documentation or from a scientific field study with its hypotheses and statistical tests that might conclusively prove the existence of the complex, if such proof were ever needed. That wasn’t even the initial purpose of the journey. Rather, the essay is a subjective recounting and analyzing of a long experience with a beginning, middle, ending, and a postmortem in three parts.

En Business Continuity Plan beskriver hvordan Westward Group vil svare og reagere på hendelser som kan betydelig forstyrre vår virksomhet . Siden driftsavbrudd aldri kan forutsies med nøyaktighet , vil en viss fleksibilitet i våre planlagte tiltak være nødvendig . Likevel er de sentrale deler av vår Business Continuity Plan gitt nedenfor:

Kontinuitet Plan . Vår plan krever gjenopptakelse av drift så snart som mulig etter en betydelig avbrudd i virksomheten . Vi vil ivareta våre medarbeidere og eiendom , vurdere vår finansielle situasjon og evne til å operere , beskytte alle vestover Gruppe data og poster , og la våre kunder til å drive forretning . Vår Business Continuity Plan tar for seg alle de følgende problemstillinger: data backup og gjenoppretting , alle virksomhetskritiske systemer , finansielle og operasjonelle vurderinger , kommunikasjon med kunder, ansatte og myndigheter , flytting (om nødvendig ) ansatte , virkninger på kritiske leverandører , entreprenører , banker eller motparter , og regulatorisk rapportering.

Vesentlige Disruptions . Driftsavbrudd kan variere i dekning eller plassering og alvorlighetsgrad : påvirker bare vår faste , en enkelt bygning som huser vår faste , forretningsområdet der vårt firma er lokalisert, byen hvor vi er lokalisert , eller hele regionen . Innenfor hvert av disse områdene , kan alvorlighetsgraden av forstyrrelsen også variere fra minimal til alvorlige. I tilfelle av et avbrudd i bare vårt firma eller en bygning som huser vår faste , vil vi fortsette driften til et nærliggende område , om nødvendig , og forventer å gjenoppta driften innen to virkedager . Som svar på et avbrudd påvirker vårt forretningsområde , byen eller regionen, vil vi flytte virksomheten til et område utenfor den berørte området og gjenoppta virksomheten innen fem virkedager. I begge tilfeller , planlegger vi å fortsette driften , og varsle deg deretter. Hvis den betydelige avbrudd er så alvorlig at det hindrer oss fra gjenværende i virksomheten, vil vi forsikre våre kunder rask grensesnitt med de respektive selskaper og innretninger som er motparter i sine transaksjoner .

China Solar Energy Holdings Ltd., the solar panel maker that’s lost 93 percent of its market value since 2007, said its chairman and two directors have been detained by Chinese authorities on allegations of fraud.

Chairman Yeung Ngo, Yang Yuchun and non-executive director Hao Guojun were arrested and have been held since Aug. 26, China Solar Energy said in a statement to the Hong Kong stock exchange on Oct. 18, citing its legal advisers. The company has been unable to contact them since August and is assessing the impact of the investigation on its financial performance, it said.

The disappearance of China Solar Energy’s directors and the fraud probe underscore investor concern that the business environment on the mainland is opaque and prone to corruption. Transparency International last week ranked Chinese firms lowest in a survey of public reporting practices in emerging markets, while short-sellers have targeted companies including Prince Frog International Holdings Ltd. (1259) and China Minzhong Food Corp.

“This is just another case of poor governance quality that is characteristic of this market,” David Webb, a former exchange director who founded local governance watchdog Webb-site.com, said by telephone. “Why has it taken nearly two months for the company to figure out they couldn’t contact two of their directors and their chairman?”

China Solar Energy fell 11 percent to HK$0.18 on Aug. 16 before it asked for trading in the shares to be halted pending the release of an announcement about recent movement in the price. The company is valued at HK$277 million ($36 million), down from HK$3.7 billion at its 2007 peak. The shares will remain suspended, the company said in the Oct. 18 statement.

I'm running on Ubuntu 12.04, Sublime Text 2.0.1 Build 2217. 

When I have a bunch of files open some of which are read only and there are changes made to each and I click Save All sublime text will save each file from left to right but only up to the read only file, then it will give an error that that file could not be saved and stops saving the rest. 

This is mainly an issue when finding and replacing across many files as I can make a change in say 200 files and if just one is read only I cannot save all and close them all. I have to close them one by one from the left until I find the read only file, or I have to click close all and click 'save before closing' hundreds of times (once for every file). 

It could be nice to have the first(s) indent(s) spaces customizable.

To have the ability to indent the first tab with a first_tab_size and then indent everything with the tab_size.

The idea is to have something like this:

function myFunc(a,b) {
        diff = 0;
        if(a>b){
            diff = a - b;
//      |--> tabs of 4
//----->|    tabs of 8
        }else{
            diff = b - a;
        }
        return diff; 
}

Something even better could be to have a first_tabs_spaces: 8,6,4,2 to allow to decrease tabs size in deeper code.

<html>
        <head>
              <script>
                  function thisIsATest(A,B){
                    return A+B;
                  }
              </script>
<!--  -|-----|----|-|
    8     6     4  2
-->
        </head>
</html>

For some of my projects a camel case / snake case / spinal case insensitive search modifier would be very handy. When enabled, a search for FooBarBaz would also find occurrences of foo_bar_baz / foo-bar-baz and vice versa.

I'm using this language definition for Papyrus (the scripting language for Skyrim). It's worked fine for the last couple years, but at some point (I couldn't tell you when) it started choking on large files.

For instance, when I load this Activator script (a trivial file that just contains the required script header), it processes fine. But when I load up Actor.psc, a larger script with lots of functions, it hangs on the loading progress bar and never renders. Until I reboot Sublime Text, any attempt to load any other Papyrus script will also hang.

Without the language definition in place, all files open just fine. This definition worked well before, so I'm not sure what's changed in the underlying systems. I know it contains a big regex for the built-in functions towards the bottom, but that hasn't caused issues in the past.

Mortgage rates are at an all-time low. Recent data released by Freddie Mac from 1972 through February 2013 illustrate just what historic times home buyers currently live in. 
With the Federal Reserve purchasing $45 billion worth of longer-term Treasuries and $40 billion in mortgage-backed securities—for a total of $85 billion each month—30-year fixed rates have been driven down below 4.0% for the first time ever. 
When large institutions buy large quantities of bonds—say $85 billion per month—bond prices are bid higher, which drives bond rates down (bond prices and rates are inversely related). And this is exactly what the Fed intends to do—push mortgage rates down to give relief to home buyers and make it possible to finance their next home. 
This maneuver by the U.S. central bank is known as quantitative easing (QE) and is unprecedented in its scale. How much longer the Fed will make these monthly purchases is unknown. What is known, however, is that the Fed cannot continue this program indefinitely. Meaning at some point, these purchases will end and rates will normalize. 
When will rates increase? How high will they go? How fast will they move? Nobody can predict exactly what rates will look like going forward. 
But if you lock in a fixed rate today, you won’t have to worry where rates go tomorrow.

The Packages\Java.sublime-package\JavaC.sublime-build should changed as:

"file_regex": "^(...*?):([0-9]*):?([0-9]*)",
"selector": "source.java"
}

Hi! Awesome application.

When doing big find-replace actions, the action is backgrounded. If I don't notice that it is executing in the background, sometimes I'll go to use the "Save all" action, and it won't execute completely, as files are still being modified in the background.

So when I try to use "Close All" immediately after "Save all", it doesn't execute the operation and asks me if I want to save files.

Might be better if these are put into some sort of FIFO queue so that requests for operations like this occur in sequential order.
