Contract of purchase / sale of real estate in Spain held with the participation of notaries. That can ensure the purity of the contract. Notaries in Spain are public servants and therefore are responsible for the cleanliness of the sale. He is responsible for the correctness of the transaction record of sale, but sold the house and check for the presence of obstacles that could prevent the commission of legal sales. Maintenance of a notary at the conclusion of the sale will cost 1-3 percent of the price of the acquired property. Nevertheless, support for notaries will seriously save your nerves and temporary resource when buying a house or apartment in Spain. In addition to the additional costs when buying property in Spain include a tax on the purchase of real estate, notary public duties and taxes.

First Week
It’s hardly surprising, at least in retrospect, that location-based social networking company Foursquare was founded (twice!) in New York City. Where else (at least in the United States) are there so many people with so many places to go and so many ways to get there? I’m not a social or environmental determinist, but clearly a startup needs hospitable conditions to thrive.
Giving Thanks as an Information Scientist
As a first-generation American who is married to a card-carrying Native American, I celebrate Thanksgiving the traditional way: a day of gluttony followed by yummy leftovers. But, trite as it may be, I do like to take the time to reflect on the countless things for which I am thankful. A wonderful family, of course, but also the great fortune to live in an age where some of the subjects that I find most intellectually stimulating have become highly relevant to our practical daily lives.
An Information Cascade
I’ve been reading Networks, Crowds, and Markets, a great textbook by David Easley and Jon Kleinberg. I’m very grateful to Cambridge University Press for surprising me with an unsolicited review copy. I’m more than halfway through its 700+ pages. Much of the material is familiar in this “interdisciplinary look at economics, sociology, computing and information science, and applied mathematics to understand networks and behavior”. But I’m delighted by much that is new to me, including a particularly elegant description of an information cascade.
The Element of Surprise
Surprise is not a word that user interface designers typically like to hear. Indeed, the principle of least surprise (also called the principle of least astonishment) is that systems should always strive to act in a way that least surprises the user.
Like many interface design principles, the principle of least surprise reflects the premise that software applications exist to be useful. In utility-oriented applications, surprise means distraction and delay — negatives that good designers work to avoid.
A Question of User Expectations
Ideally, a search engine would read the user’s mind. Shy of that, a search engine should provide the user with an efficient process for expressing an information need and then provide the user with results relevant to the that need.
From an information scientist’s perspective, these are two distinct problems to solve in the information seeking process: establishing the user’s information need (query elaboration) and retrieving relevant information (information retrieval).
