Beneficial Interest and the concept of property

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J
Through this article, we try and understand a very interesting question of whether beneficial interest can be considered a property. To get a better insight, we first need to understand the concept of beneficial interest in law and what amounts to property.

A data scientist reveals how you can tell if a first date is going well based on language choice

http://ift.tt/eA8V8J

Seth Stephens-Davidowitz, New York Times writer, former Google data scientist, and author of “Everybody Lies” reveals the common language used on successful first dates. Following is a transcript of the video.

We used to think of data as surveys, very structured answers, right? A checkbox, yes, no, or a number you put in, 101, 102, 103, whatever. And now data is kind of the wild unstructured world on the internet and one of the big types of data is text.

So, scientists followed daters around on speed dates and they had recorders with them and then at the end of the date they said whether they wanted to go on a second date. So the scientists could measure what words used on a first date suggest that people are going to want a second date.

A man can increase his odds of getting a second date if he shows support. If he says things like, “that must be tough,” or, “that sounds hard.” He can also increase the odds of a second date if he laughs at a woman’s jokes and doesn’t interrupt her constantly, which probably isn’t rocket science.

The most beautiful word to a heterosexual man’s ears on a first date is the word “I.” When a woman talks about herself more, it’s actually a sign that she likes him, she feels comfortable opening up. And actually, women I think frequently think that they should not talk too much about themselves, but that’s also wrong in the data. Men like women talking, opening up, telling stories about their own lives. They’re more likely to like the woman and agree to a second date.

Israel manipulates the US government on a daily basis, but we are supposed to be worried about Russian bogeymen. We are a nation of idiots that deserves everything that we get.

The is the best car Audi has ever made

http://ift.tt/2fKiUeV

Audi A4 21

In the 1980s, the Audi Quattro revolutionized rally racing. In the 1990s, the TT became an instant style icon. In the 2000s, the striking R8 supercar became Iron Man’s ride of choice. More recently, the German brand has turned out one industry-leading model after another in the form of stalwarts such as the Q5, the Q7, and RS7, all of which are brilliant vehicles.

Last fall, Audi dropped off a brand-new 2017 A4 2.0T quattro S tronic sedan clad in Manhattan Gray Metallic paint for Business Insider to check out. It was our first encounter with the company’s new fifth-generation A4 sedan. To call the car impressive would be an understatement.

One thing became crystal clear to Business Insider’s transportation team after just a few days with the new A4: The 2017 A4 is the best car Audi has ever made. Yes, it’s that good!

No, the new A4 isn’t as evocative as the R8. Nor does it have the mind-bending performance of the RS7. The compact luxury sedan certainly doesn’t have the vaunted racing pedigree of the Quattro. (The A4 has been known to hold its own as a touring car racer in Europe and the UK.) But what the A4 does have going for it is the ability to do everything Audi and its consumers need it to do with spectacular effectiveness and efficiency.

As my colleague Matt DeBord put it, “The A4 ticks all of the boxes you can tick, but it doesn’t create any new ones.”

The brand new A4 sedan starts at a competitive $34,900, while our option-laden test car came with an as-tested price tag of $54,275.

Here’s a closer look at the 2017 Audi A4.

Here come JOLTS…

The latest read on job openings and labor turnover in the US will be out at 10 a.m. ET.

Economists forecast that job openings ticked down slightly to 5.725 million in March, according to the Bloomberg survey.

The JOLTS report touches on how many opportunities are available as well as the pace of layoffs and resignations in the US labor market.

The report also includes the quits rate, one of Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s favored labor market indicators. The quits rate slipped to 2.1% in February from its post-recession high of 2.2%.

Although the word “quit” comes with a slew of negative connotations, a higher quits rate actually sends a message about rising worker confidence in the labor market.

The thinking here is that during good economic times, people feel comfortable quitting a job because they believe they can find another quickly, or because they have already found another one. On the flip side, when there are layoffs during economic downturns, few feel comfortable leaving their jobs.

Taking that idea one step further, some economists have pointed out that the quits rate tends as a leading indicator of wage growth.
