Shanghai Fund Manager Dumps All Holdings in 'Insane' Market
- Shanghai Heqi Tongyi forced to liquidate holdings amid plunge
- CSI 300 declines more than 7%, triggering circuit-breaker
A Shanghai fund dumped all its holdings as Chinese shares tumbled and triggered a circuit-breaker that halted trading in the world's second-biggest stock market.
"This is insane," Chen Gang, chief investment officer at Shanghai Heqi Tongyi Asset Management Co., said in an interview on Thursday. "We were forced to liquidate all our holdings this morning," said Chen, whose firm manages about 300 million yuan ($45.5 million).
China's CSI 300 Index plunged 7.2 percent before trading was halted by automatic circuit-breakers for the second time this week, after a weaker-than-estimated yuan fixing fueled concern that slowing economic growth is prompting authorities to guide the currency lower. Many private funds and hedge funds in China have agreements with investors spelling out mandatory liquidation levels if their holdings drop below a certain value.
Chinese regulators have imposed a limit on the amount of stock major corporate shareholders can sell as authorities move to curb the nation's market rout. The CSRC capped the size of stakes that major investors are allowed to sell at 1 percent of a company's shares for three months effective Jan. 9, the regulator said in a statement on Thursday. The restriction replaces an existing six-month ban on any secondary market stock sales that is due to expire Friday, it said.
'Couldn't Be Worse'
Chen, who commented before the CSRC announced its new caps, said he "won't consider getting back into the market until that overhang is gone and CSRC improves its circuit-breaker system, for instance by extending the 15-minute break to half an hour."
The Shanghai Heqi Tongyi manager, whose fund started mid-year in 2015, regretted the timing of its launch and said it "couldn't be worse." Chen isn't alone in criticizing the circuit-breaker rule introduced Monday, which many say exacerbates a liquidity squeeze as investors rush for the exits before trading halts kick in. Under the new rule, a drop of 5 percent suspends trading for 15 minutes, while a decline of 7 percent halts the market for the rest of the day.
"A trading break of 15 minutes or even longer wouldn't ease their nerves or get them a clear picture of the fundamentals," said Polar Zhang, a Beijing-based analyst at BOC International Holdings Ltd. "On the contrary, it's draining liquidity as everybody tries to get out of the door before the door is closed. "
If CSRC doesn't improve the mechanism, Zhang said he expects to cut trading volume by 20 percent.
About 100 stock-focused Chinese private funds have lost more than 10 percent in the most recent month, according to Howbuy Investment Management Co. , which tracks such data. Most of the funds most recently updated numbers in December. Almost 1,300 Chinese hedge funds liquidated amid China's $5 trillion stock selloff during the summer as the value of their equity holdings fell below mandatory levels agreed with investors, according to Howbuy.

Is it possible to create a CGPath from a given file?
SVG would be preferred, but anything will work.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Is it possible to create a CGPath from a given file?
SVG would be preferred, but anything will work.
PocketSVG will turn an SVG file into a UIBezierPath from which you can get a CGPath:
Seems like there is a more clever solution SVGKit:
I struggled with this one too, scouring the web for a solution. SVGKit seems like the closest solution i could find, but still didn't do the job. The problem I had was that it seemed to only support certain SVG files and I was unsuccessful at converting any of my files to a compatible format. I even wrote my own parser, but the results were also inconsistent.
I began to look into SVG specs more deeply and there seems to be a few inconsistencies in how each vector editing tool generated these files. Then I ended up looking into Adobe's FXG format, which is based on SVG. One thing I noticed immediately was that the commands in the Path data were all absolute and not relative. This (IMHO) by far made FXG superior to SVG.
I was able to convert this to a CGPath that actually worked perfect. My current needs only required converting the Path data for use as clipping paths, but it's totally possible to support the full FXG spec.
Here's a little AIR app I threw together for generating Core Graphics commands from the FXG path data, that demonstrates the potential. http://iksnae.com/fxgtool/
Hopefully it helps you too.
[Update: in the intervening years from when I first answered this question, I released a class to handle this under MIT license: SVGgh SVGPathGenerator. Look for:
I'm looking at doing this today, and all the operands except the absolute and relative arc operands map very neatly to the path creation API of CGMutablePathRef. I was googling to find the mathematic voodoo needed to make the SVG definition of an arc compatible with CGPathAddArcToPoint when I came across this question. You just have to parse the d attribute of the SVG path element, which you can get via the NSXMLParser object and a delegate you provide.
If you can make use of GPL'd code, which I cannot, then the Webkit source has a file SVGPathParser.cpp which has some useful tidbits. The W3C has some useful implementation notes, and Gabe Lerner implemented it in JavaScript.
Yes. It is possible. I haven't done this, but because SVG uses paths itself, it seems that mapping an SVG path to a CGPath would be something possible/manageable. The question at that point becomes how motivated are you? I didn't see any Objective-C libraries that already do this in a cursory google search, but it may be out there. I did see a Java implementation, that you could probably port.
Considering the lack of obvious solutions on the web, I would guess this isn't a very common need for app devs. There's probably a better/easier way to solve the problem at hand. If all you want is to display an SVG image, you could just embed a webview and let WebKit render it for you.

Great story great action
Now i must say this was pretty impressive, the "STORY" was very impressive and its the kind that gets better with each new part, and kept me interested and just wanting more of that, so nice work on the story and pushing it forward, And all the action too cant forget all that fun of the flash, And lets get to the "MUSIC" that was just perfect and fit so well with everything going on, and there was alot to see and do, so props to you there, i just love the amount of effort you put fourth on this and your other flash works, all great and with some fantastic quality, So anyways great work from the verty start, i dont have much in improvment tips as you did fantasticly well to grasp the audiance and keep the story going and keeping the interest. especially of this viewer and reviewer, so on that note keep up the awsome work, i look forward to much more of your work. So keep at it and grace us with more of your work soon again.
Improvment points well just keep it going add even more story because it was pretty fantastic from start to finish.
i liked it
that was a pretty we;; done flash. only thing is the camera was a kinda wiggly and the screen was to small. anyway that looked like it would be very hard to animate. good job!
cool but the music is more of a fail than the containment
wats da song? ummm... the screen was vereh small
Pretty good. Difficult to enjoy.
Good animation and whatnot. The music quality was good so it wasn't hard to listen to. Unfortunately the very thin screen made it hard to watch, and in the end you really didn't do anything new. Nothing wrong with sticking to the basics though.

Parsing the Turing Test: Philosophical and Methodological Issues in the Quest for the Thinking Computer / Edition 1by Robert Epstein
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 01/30/2008
Publisher: Springer Netherlands
Parsing the Turing Test is a landmark exploration of both the philosophical and methodological issues surrounding the search for true artificial intelligence. Will computers and robots ever think and communicate the way humans do? When a computer crosses the threshold into self-consciousness, will it immediately jump into the Internet and create a World Mind? Will intelligent computers someday recognize the rather doubtful intelligence of human beings? Distinguished psychologists, computer scientists, philosophers, and programmers from around the world debate these weighty issues - and, in effect, the future of the human race - in this important volume.

Pitch Locking Monophonic Music Analysis
This paper illustrates a signal adaptive analysis technique to transcribe monophonic sounds. Unlike other models, which segment audio relying on the onset time-domain analysis, this model principally exploits pitch information. Pitch is locked after detection. The structure of a musical note, i.e. harmonic frequency structure and time-envelope model, is exploited to segment and transcribe the signal. The system is inspired by the Integrated Processing and Undestanding of Signals system (IPUS) where abstract explanation and best front-end configuration are iteratively searched. Onsets and pitch are searched in two different domains and integrated with the system knowledge to give a coherent interpretation of the signal. The system transcribes with success from fast trumpet riffs to long sustained violin vibrato.

Recurring Role
Nitpick: When Janesway and Torres are in the shuttle debating over which Voyager is the right one. Couldn't they just have scanned for something unique to the right Voyager (like a missing shuttle or if the ship has a half-Klingon on board)?
Goof: Lt. Tuvok's pips indicate a rank of Lt. Commander (two closed and one open, Lt. is two closed).
Nitpick: In this, her first appearance on the series, Seska is seen wearing a blue Science Division uniform. Martha Hackett stated that it was simply a costuming error.
Nitpick: An event horizon is the distance from the singularity at which light can no longer escape its gravity well. It is not, as stated here, an energy field or tangible barrier that can be breached or manipulated.
Nitpick: Janeway seems quite versed in temporal mechanics and seems to enjoy discussing it at the briefing. This is in stark contrast to the rest of the series where she often remarks how much she hates it and promised herself she'd never get involved in it.
Chakotay: She's the best engineer I've ever known. She could teach at the Academy! You're right, Captain; I do consider these to be my people because nobody else on this ship will look out for them like I will. And I'm telling you: you're going to have to give them more authority if you want their loyalty.
Janeway: Theirs or yours, Commander?
Paris: Engine efficiency is down another fourteen percent. If we don't get more power to the warp drive, we're all going to have to get out and push.
Chakotay: If things had happened differently, and we were on the Maquis ship now instead of Voyager, would you have served under me?
Janeway: One of the nice things about being captain is that you can keep some things to yourself.
Chakotay: These are the Maquis, and sometimes in the Maquis you have to push people out of your way to get things done.
Janeway: In command school, they taught us to always remember that maneuvering a starship is a very delicate process, but over the years I've learned that sometimes you just have to punch your way through.
Carey: Remember, I am the senior officer. I speak for engineering. Try not to say anything unless someone asks you a question. (walks away)
Seska: (to Torres) You should have broken more than his nose.
B'Elanna: The problem was a system that didn't give anyone a chance to breathe.
Janeway: We work under that same system on this ship.
Chakotay: (to Janeway) I have no intention of being your token Maquis officer.
Janeway: You don't understand, Commander. This isn't about Torres. My problem is with you.
Chakotay: Me?
B'Elanna: (in the brig) So how long do I have to stay in here?
Chakotay: Rest of the trip, 75 years.
B'Elanna: I'll try not to break their noses.
Neelix: I can do lots of interesting things with vegetables!
Chakotay: On the one side I have a Vulcan who wants to court martial you, on the other I have half the Maquis ready to mutiny over this. You've made this into one lousy day for me, Torres!
The episode had the working title "Deep Time".
The Emergency Medical Holographic Channel (on which Janeway speaks to the Doctor from her ready room) is monitor input 47.
Writer Joe Menosky (and thosehe inspired)began including references to the number 47 in almost every episode of Star Trek since season four of The Next Generation. It is an in-joke, referring to The 47 Society at Pomona College in California, which Menosky attended.

Vegas Lounge Karaoke
If you were to guess the vibe of the Vegas Lounge based solely on the name, you might expect to find a bar with a retro "Rat Pack" style. But you would be wrong. This is not what you will actually find at the Vegas Lounge in Northeast, though, oddly enough, one night I did see a dead ringer for Fat Elvis singing a cover of Clearance Carter's "Strokin'." So maybe there is something to the name. Overall, the Vegas Lounge is an unpretentious bar with a VFW feel to it. Order up something with hard liquor, or a Miller Lite, but stay away from fancy beers at all costs, and you should have a good time. The bar is decent-sized, with a nice outdoor seating area populated by smokers and those who don't mind the cold weather. Karaoke, which runs from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Tuesdays, and Thursdays through Sundays, is low-key and low-pressure. The mix at the bar is very eclectic; on any given night you may run into a wedding party, a toothless drunk who's been drinking since noon, and a group of recent French immigrants. If you're not willing to sing, be prepared to cheer for those who do. 21+.
Tuesdays, Thursdays-Sundays, 9 p.m.-2 a.m., 2009

Keep the community organizer out of the White House
Tell that to Hannity.
When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as a Project Vote organizer, a nonprofit focused on voter rights and education. Senator Obama said, I come out of a grassroots organizing background. Thats what I did for three and half years before I went to law school. Thats the reason I moved to Chicago was to organize. So this is something that I know personally, the work you do, the importance of it. Ive been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.
Are there two Obamas....maybe he has a twin, because
i dont know...the man is loosing it!
Keep firing Obambi....will give you more ammo!!!
He has never worked...I'd buy that.
Yeah, half truths.
LOL. Now his campaign is just flat out lying. McCain and Palin need to continue to hammer him.
Amazing! Is that from his book?
Also, Hannity nailed it good last night
No it's not from his book...but it is from here:
LOL his own site. Imagine that.
Here B the truth!
This makes Ayers seem like nursery school.
How about Obama openly campaigning for his communist cousin Odinga who signed a pact with Muslims to enact Sharia Law if elected and started riots when he lost. Obama campaigned for an openly Anti-American candidate in a foreign country in 2006.
"When Obama met with ACORN leaders in November, he reminded them of his history with ACORN and his beginnings in Illinois as a Project Vote organizer, a nonprofit focused on voter rights and education.

It appears Project Vote is an ACORN thing:
WOW- NOW he's outright LYING about his ACORN connections? holy crap.
Excellent info. Thanks!
Well now. Mighty scary. Is Obama really just that stupid that he has so many enemies of America in his circle of aquaintences? Not bloody likely, unless he's the unluckiest sob in the world. And even if that is the case, why would anyone in their right mind put someone with such a poor judge of character anywhere near Pennsylvania ave. He should be impeached from the Senate!

Truly amazing. Thanks for posting it. BO smells of lying.
"Case Study: Chicago-The Barack Obama Campaign"
ACORNs history of nonpartisan electoral work (voter registration and voter turnout) and leadership development combined during the March, 2004 primary season to make a big difference in the level of participation of our communities in that important election.
ACORN is active in experimenting with methods of increasing voter participation in our low and moderate income communities in virtually every election. But in some elections we get to have our cake and eat it too: work on nonpartisan voter registration and GOTV, which also turns out to benefit the candidate that we hold dear.
The March primary was not particularly important for the presidential race, as Kerry was just in the process of clinching the Dem presidential nomination. But it was critical in the U.S. Senate race. On March 16th, State Senator Barack Obama won the right to represent the Democratic Party in the U.S. Senate campaign. Jack Ryan won the Republican nomination that day, but went on to self-destruct over sex club revelations in his divorce papers. Sen. Obama went on to keynote the Democratic Convention in July and was catapulted to the national stage. As Sen. Obama puts it, how did a skinny kid with a funny name become the Democratic candidate for the U.S. Senate, with 53% of the statewide Democratic vote in a seven-person field?
Obama started building the base years before. For instance, ACORN noticed him when he was organizing on the far south side of the city with the Developing Communities Project. He was a very good organizer. When he returned from law school, we asked him to help us with a lawsuit to challenge the state of Illinois refusal to abide by the National Voting Rights Act, also known as motor voter. Allied only with the state of Mississippi, Illinois had been refusing to allow mass-based voter registration according to the new law. Obama took the case, known as ACORN vs. Edgar (the name of the Republican governor at the time) and we won. Obama then went on to run a voter registration project with Project VOTE in 1992 that made it possible for Carol Moseley Braun to win the Senate that year. Project VOTE delivered 50,000 newly registered voters in that campaign (ACORN delivered about 5000 of them).
Since then, we have invited Obama to our leadership training sessions to run the session on power every year, and, as a result, many of our newly developing leaders got to know him before he ever ran for office. Thus, it was natural for many of us to be active volunteers in his first campaign for State Senate and then his failed bid for U.S. Congress in 1996. By the time he ran for U.S. Senate, we were old friends. And along about early March, we started to see that the African-American community had made its move: when Sen. Obamas name was mentioned at our Southside Summit meeting with 700 people in attendance from three southside communities, the crowd went crazy. With about a week to go before the election, it was very clear how the African-American community would vote. But would they vote in high enough numbers?
It seemed to us that what Obama needed in the March primary was what we always work to deliver anyway: increased turnout in our ACORN communities. ACORN is active on the south and west sides of Chicago, in the south suburbs and on the east side of Springfield, the state capital. Most of the turf where we organize in is African American, with a growing Latino presence in Chicagos Little Village and the suburbs.
ACORN members were involved in three activities around the primary:
1) Block captains were identified, as early as the summer before the March primary, and provided with lists of registered and unregistered voters and voter registration materials. We attended trainings and accountability meetings to receive our materials and make plans to get the people registered. Then we came back to report on our progress. We also hired voter registrars in the final three weeks to work the supermarkets in our communities. By the February 17 voter registration deadline for the primary, ACORN had registered 12,984 new voters. This was an organizational best for us. (As of this writing, we have added over 27,000 new voters).
2) Block captains then went to work to turn out the vote. They were all volunteers until the last few days, when we received funding to pay some of our block captains in some precincts of the 24th ward (North Lawndale) and the 15th ward (West Englewood) to get out the vote on the last Saturday before the election and on election day.
3) In some precincts in the 15th ward, we were able to hire canvassers to work on voter turnout for a full two weeks before the election. Each canvasser worked two to three precincts during that time.
The results of this activity were very interesting, and mirror what Professor Donald Green of Yale University has found about voter turnout work: where we were able to run a crew of paid and supervised canvassers for two weeks before the election, we did very well. In those targeted ACORN precincts in the 15th ward, voter turnout improved by an average of 50% over the previous years city election (the only other election since the redistricting). Citywide turnout increased by only 14% over the same election.
The way the canvassers approached each door was important. Instead of a speech about a candidate they engaged the potential voter in a conversation about the issues, relating their issues to the importance of voting, and moving them to a commitment to vote in the primary. In addition ACORN leaders were making the rounds talking to their neighbors about the election. I am proud to report that the combination of a paid canvass and my volunteer work was especially successful in turning out the vote in my two precincts (34 and 51). In those precincts we boosted turnout by 82% (precinct 34) and 90% (precinct 51) over the previous years turnout. ACORN leader Denise Dixon again paired with an effective canvasser, increased turnout in her precinct by 131%. The best performing precincts were the ones with a canvasser and a leader who worked at least Election Day and the Saturday before. There is a noticeable difference between these precincts and those that only had a paid canvasser in it, who wasnt a local community leader.
Were not ready to prove anything yet with our data, because we have not run a scientific test, but we believe Greens results showing that door-to-door field work for two weeks before an election yields significant results, and we believe that there is a correlation with strong local leaders assisting the paid canvassing in winning even more dramatic increases.
The 24th ward has traditionally had higher voter turnout than in the 15th. The work leading up to the election in the 24th Ward was done by leaders who volunteered their time. Some were paid for two half days of door knocking, election day and the Saturday before. Turnout increased in ACORN precincts in the 24th ward at a rate higher than the city average, but not at the rate at which it increased in the 15th. Overall turnout was still higher in our 24th ward precincts than our 15th ward precincts, but the rate of increase was not as dramatic.
None of this is rocket science, but it is important. Good door-knocking by community residents for even two half days can impact turnout. Good door-knocking by paid and supervised canvassers for two weeks can have dramatic impact. And a combination of the two, especially with experienced community leaders working with the paid canvassers, can make a huge difference.
As it turned out, Obama won the primary handily, pulling white wards as well as African American. But no one knew that that would be the case. In each election we must act as if our work is critical for our communities. That is what we did in the primary, and we learned something in the process.

I don't know how to get a screen cap.

Probably someone else will or did, you know how facts on his OWN website that prove Obama is a liar can disappear...

Project Vote Brings Power to the People
Chicago Sun-Times - August 11, 1992
Author: Vernon Jarrett
Good news! Good news!
Project Vote, a collectivity of 10 church-based community organizations dedicated to black voter registration, is off and running.
Project Vote is increasing its rolls at a 7,000-per-week clip. Just last Saturday it registered 2,000 during the Chicago Defenders annual Bud Billiken Parade.
But now, the not-so-good news:
If Project Vote is to reach its goal of registering 150,000 out of an estimated 400,000 unregistered blacks statewide, it must average 10,000 rather than 7,000 every week, says Barack Obama , the programs executive director.
Breathtaking. Obama lies outright on his website. Why would he do that? What's he ashamed of? We thought he was proud of his community organizing
Wrong link in the Project Vote post. Sorry, that is what happens when I have so many tabs open.
Correct link:

So much wonderful about this little weatherboard cottage in Burleigh - it oozes warmth and charm. The food scrumptious...healthy deliciousness and decadent morsels of pure bliss for the tastebuds!
I am so completely smitten and cannot wait to sit amongst the trees once again...or perhaps being winter, in the cosy window seat table inside, watching the flames flicker in the antique wood fired oven.

winter hues
With remnants of autumn clinging on to the branches in the richest of hues and tones, we wandered amongst the lovely that is Tamborine Mountain Botanical Gardens. Mostly, the flowers were passed their best, the roses weary. Even the camellias seemed to be tired of flaunting their beauty. Maybe it was just the overcast day...maybe we just struggled to find our photographic inspiration. Perhaps we just weren't opening our eyes and minds fully to the beauty that is the beginning of winter in these parts.
Looking up the colours were amazing...so rich and warm. Quite happy to pose amongst the leaves was the sweetest, most photogenic kookaburra I have come across. He tilted his head from side to side, almost saying 'this side, or this one...I'm rather fond of both myself'. I dare say he has had a few photos taken in his lifetime!
Looking down there were the prettiest pinks and bright pops of blue. Even with our lack lustre photographic spark, we still managed to dust off the cameras and find moments of beauty.
I love the idea of cool, crisp days and cosy nights in (preferably with rain creating a beautiful rhythm on the tin roof). I do love winter and her veiled charm.

Today, 01 March, is my gorgeous Grandmother's birthday - she would have been 111.
Grandma had an extraordinary love for flora (and fauna too!), her garden was always filled with the prettiest blooms and the most delicious herbs and vegetables. I think my love for gardening and flowers comes from her, through my darling Dad.
Not so long ago I took up photography to capture these beauties and admire them for more than just a few days.
And doodle, I've always doodled and grew up learning to write with a fountain pen and ink. I am fascinated by typography and lettering in all it's many beautiful forms.
A couple of years ago, on a whim and with the notion of picking up long ago pens, I made my way to Byron Bay and spent a morning of wonder with the very delightful and super lovely Sabine Pick. My desire to write again was awakened - Sabine is so kind and really such a treasure - her style and lettering just mesmerising.
And then last year, I was privileged to attend two workshops at Megan Morton's "The School". The first, a day with Maybelle Imasa - oh my, what a beautiful, gentle soul with such talent - her penmanship is just breathtaking. As a wedding present from my husband, this day will always hold such magic which I endeavour to take into my everyday.
The second day was a morning with Ashley Woodson Bailey as she shared her love of floral photography (or florography). Again an amazing and inspiriting soul. I came home with a full heart and a head brimming with creativity.
Almost 20 years ago I registered my business name - Inkala Images. Finally, my ideas are clear and it is becoming a reality. And so my friends, here is the beginnings of a wonderful journey - I'm excited, inspired, daunted and so very determined. I'm ever mindful of Maybelle's "perfectly imperfect" as I navigate my way and I'm hoping you join me on this adventure...
And Grandma, Happy Birthday! It only seemed right I shared this on your special day xox
Welcome to www.inkalaimages.com

Getting paid over time is better than not at all, so consider offering payment plans to customers who are past due on their bills, writes Michelle Dunn, CEO of Michelle Dunn's Credit & Collections Association. When you speak with delinquent customers, start by asking for the full amount before agreeing to split the payment into installments, she writes. Then ask questions to get a better understanding of the situation and, once you have reached an agreement, formalize the commitment by getting your customer's signature on it.

Because is near the beach and everything is handy : food ,beverages ,pool and seaside ,if you want to lay down on the sandy beach. And good point ...sun chair and umbrella on the beach are for free.
They should improve the mini-bar 's room . There are only two beverage in the bar and that's all.The staff should improve their English.
The hotel is new, made in a good style. Rooms are big, the furniture is very comfortable. The beach is perfect - big, pure clean sand, belongs to the hotel - free of charge. Good swimming pools both for adults and children.
In the restaurant you have to wait some time for the main food. Sometimes meat was burned slightly.
The best thing about this hotel is the location. Sea is very near and there is a beautiful view from the balcony.
We didn't like the quality of pillows, bedsheets, mattresses.
The location. It was very close to the beach and centre.
The owner had no idea about booking.com even after we showed our printed reservation. The bathroom was outside our room and we were suspicious that we got an economy room; all of these wan't stated in our reservation. We couldn't find the kitchen and found out later that the rooms were sold at 20 leva a double room (10€) which is cheaper and more true to the quality of the rooms. Poor beds.
We liked the large terrace and the room had all the comfort attributes: tv set, ensuite bathroom, very clean room on the whole and brand new hotel for a low price. Staff has trouble speaking english but were very helpful. You can reach the sea by foot but it will take you about 15 minutes.
It took us about an hour and the help on locals to finally find this hotel which is not located where booking.com indicates. Wireless seemed to work but was not strong enough to reach our room on the third floor.
Very nice sea view apartments, nice and clean beach, good boat-restaurant
The apartment wasn't clean enough, lack of activities
Plenty of space both in rooms and outside the hotel.Quiet place,excellent sandy beach,child friendly and safe area.Official description is real.
Isolated place,nothing else is offered nearby the hotel,ugly see
The bathroom was horrible.

BOSTON -- Rookie Tyler Seguin has shown flashes of the brilliance that had him enter the 2010 NHL draft as a top prospect and persuaded the Bruins to use the second overall pick on him. Seguin has only a goal and two assists through six games, but that raw offensive talent is there and has been on display at times. What is still very much a question early in Seguin's rookie season is whether or not he can be the two-way player the Bruins need him to be. Can he be responsible enough in his own zone to match up against the opponents' top two lines?
"Well, I think he's still in that process of getting better every game," Bruins coach Claude Julien said of where he felt Seguin's game is after the team's 3-2 loss to the Rangers last Saturday. "You know, you try to give him as much ice time as you can. You certainly can't ... right now you certainly can't expose him against top lines. That much I think we're all unanimous on. He's a guy that I feel that whenever he gets the puck and you give him some space, he's a dangerous player. But obviously there's more to the game than that. But he's finding and feeling his way through that."
As Julien pointed out, the center position carries the most responsibility of the forward positions, and right now the Bruins aren't sure if Seguin can handle that responsibility. This was one of the reasons the Bruins originally had Seguin slotted to play wing. But with Marc Savard out with post-concussion syndrome, that plan changed.
"Centermen, and it's not just about him, but a centerman has probably the most important task in our own end of supporting down low and also making sure that he takes away those passes that are going to the slot and everything else, so it's a big responsibility," Julien said. "You're going from side-to-side and those players, it takes a while, and that's why at the beginning of the year we were hoping to have him on the wing, and that would have helped him probably feel his way a little bit better in the league. But we were forced to use him there obviously with Savvy being out."
When asked about Julien's comments, Seguin had no issues and agreed he has work to do on his defensive game. But he does feel he has improved since arriving for training camp and even development camp in July.
"I think I have improved a lot since I came to camp and it's funny because my junior coach was actually just saying to me, 'Why couldn't you do that for me?' and so I think that tells me that I'm improving," Seguin said. "But I know that I can do better and need to do more to survive in this league. I think there's more little things you need to learn and do at this level than in juniors, and I'm still learning that."
According to Seguin, that has been the focus on him from the coaches and front office, to tighten up defensively and be a more responsible player. But while trying to adhere to that, he is doing his best to not suppress his offensive talent and creativity.
"That's been the main message, getting better in my own zone, but that being said, I can't lose my offensive abilities that got me here," Seguin said. "In the end I want to be a complete player and be a responsible player that the coach can rely on in key moments."
That description embodies the player Seguin has mentioned looking up to on many occasions since being drafted: Tampa Bay Lightning general manager and longtime Detroit Red Wing Steve Yzerman. Yzerman is the reason Seguin chose to wear No. 19 as a Bruin and he knows if he keeps following Julien's direction, he could some day be a complete player like his idol was.
"He had to change his game a little bit and he didn't mind doing it," Seguin said of Yzerman. "He became one of the best two-way players and even at the end when they asked him to be mostly a defensive forward, he didn't gripe. I'm going to be that way too and in the end, hopefully I can be like him."
Seguin's teammates notice him striving to be an Yzerman-type player as well. Veteran forward Mark Recchi sees an 18-year-old doing his best to fit in and become what the team needs him to be.
"You see him out there and he's learning and getting better for sure," Recchi said recently. "We all know the pure offensive skill he has but it's doing the little things that matter in this league and he's trying to do that. He has the right attitude and he's doing his best to learn from the coaches and his teammates."
In an interview on a Montreal sports radio station Tuesday, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli gave the same assessment as Julien and Recchi.
"The plan going in was, here's a player who has tremendous skill, has tremendous hands, tremendous speed, a terrific wrist shot, snap shot, even one-timer, but is 18," Chiarelli told host Tony Marinaro on the Team 990. "So here's someone with a great package that we need but we want to make sure we develop properly because that's what we pride ourselves on, trying to bring these young guys into our lineup over time. So he's shown us all that and confirmed our original impressions by his play."
But just as Julien and Recchi pointed out, Seguin still has room for improvement in the defensive zone. All signs continue to point to Seguin making that improvement at the NHL level. The Bruins will have to decide whether to keep Seguin or send him back to his junior team in Plymouth prior to his 10th NHL game, and while the final decision hasn't been made, Seguin's efforts to improve appear to be good enough to retain a spot in Boston.
"He's got things to learn -- you guys know how Claude Julien coaches, he prides himself on defensive side of the puck -- so Tyler has things to learn there and he's getting better at them and he's doing everything right now that he has to to stay for the year," Chiarelli said. "We're able to put him on a third line and that insulates him a little bit, and at the same time he gets some power-play time, which is good for the confidence. Right now he's doing everything he has to do to remain for the year. We haven't made that decision yet, but we're close to making it."
