Having a medium to large adult dog in an apartment should not be a problem since the average adult dog sleeps about 14 hours a day. Certain breeds need to keep their brains busy and if left alone for too long can get destructive just out of boredom. As someone new to dogs I suggest you spend a lot of time in finding the specific breed(s) that will fit your needs. Try to find breeders in your area for those breeds and talk to them.
I have bred and shown German Shepherds and currently live with 5 dogs (4 different breeds), each one of them has it's own personaility and character traits.

Only an adult dog can be left alone for that length of time. I would restrict it to one room or buy a large crate to keep it in while you are away. The best of both worlds is to hire someone or have a neighbor come in at least once a day to walk the dog. Small nonshedding dogs: Shih Tzu, Yorkshire Terrier, Maltese, West Highland White Terrier, Bichon Frise, Miniature Poodle, Italian Greyhound, Border Terrier, Cairn Terrier, Havanese, Miniature Schnauzer,Norfolk Terrier, Silky Terrier, Welsh Terrier, Boston Terrier,Scottish Terrier, Chinese Crested, Australian Terrier Medium To Large Non Shedding Dog Breeds Airedale Terrier, Standard Poodle, Wirehaired Fox Terrier, Greyhound Bedlington Terrier, Irish Water Spaniel, Soft Coated Wheaten Terrie...

Having grown up in very poor circumstances it gives me a sense of security to know that I have enough cash (CDs, savings account and a short term bond fund) to cover any emergency or to make a large purchase. Every so often as the emergency fund increases I take X amount and switch it to my portfolio.
As a retired widower my emergency fund gives me the peace of mind of knowing that I can rely on myself if a real emergency arises and don't have to go to one of my children for help.

This show and The Borgias have the same story line. Greedy men of power want more of the same and are willing to go to any lengths to achieve it (including using their daughter or sister's marriage to create alliances to strengthen their military & political might). Both stories include incestious love affairs.
I am surprised that HBO would broadcast two such similar series at the same time.
T&A is a pleasant way to offset the violence.

It makes one assume that you need all of these abstract asset classes (REITs, Commodities, etc.) to achieve any meaningful diversification. When in reality, a simple look at 4 core/high returning equity asset classes shows the same level of decade by decade dispersion:

I spent my career traveling the world (primarily Asia, Latin America & the Caribbean). At one time I considered retiring to Singapore but then realized that I am a "spoiled American". When you go into a supermarket in a foreign country you don't have the variety of choices that we are used to. I would also miss not being able to see American TV, basketball, football & baseball on an almost daily basis. The only place I would seriously consider is the high country of Panama where there are many American expats and lots of benefits overed by the government as an inducement to reitre there. When I first became a widower I seriously considered traveling around the world and if I found the "ideal" place I would settle...
