It's easy to focus on taking external action as the most important part of creative expression. Our culture puts a lot of emphasis on getting moving, crossing things off the list, clearing, building, growing and having something to show for our time and efforts.
The actions we take also give us a feeling of purpose and worthiness, especially when we share details in conversation with others or on social media.
So when we are in a creative action lull, or more "being" state of mind and heart, we can have mixed feelings about ourselves and what we are creating. Emotions including feeling ashamed, guilty, unfocused, or unworthy can bubble up, and cause us to get really down on ourselves, capabilities, or choices. If these feelings last longer than we would like, doubt can also makes its way into our hearts, causing us to second guess or rethink everything we've done so far.
This emotional loop is so common in modern life. It's as if we forgot the value of a slow creative build, and how it's a key part of enabling us to process feelings, thoughts, and next steps along our path.
It's easy to focus so closely on what isn't working, then completely forget to take in what's actually showing up without effort or force.
Taking things for granted is one expression of this, but it's also about how we can't see the value in something because it's not part of how we want or envision it coming to life. The plan we create in our mind, and the way it "must" unfold, is only one path of many possibilities. There's also the intersection of other people's paths, pieces of new information revealed, old emotional patterns in play, world events, trends, and so much more, that impact what we create and how easy it is to complete it.
That's why it's time to redefine what we see as taking action on a personal level.
The most essential part of connecting with the creative flow we seek is to spend time finding our unique balance between taking action, deep inner listening, and getting grounded. It's what enables us to feel our true feelings and express creative desires with clarity and confidence.
For example, if we constantly worry, plan, and "stay busy", with no offset of physical movement, meditation, or human connection, it's easy to feel like we aren't taking action. Our mind is hung up tying itself in knots that end up completely distracting us from actually feeling or emotions – especially if we are creatively down or uninspired.
Instead of focusing on taking actions in the external world as a first step, start with internal ones instead. Make a list of what you've accomplished in the last month or how you moved closer to an important goal in small ways. Look up from your desk and take a look at the sky. Create a new morning routine or work schedule to mix things up and see how your mood and attitude changes.
There's power in taking external action, as long as we realize that it's only one part of the creative expression. Creativity has no timeline; it needs to emerge on it's own terms and in alignment with how we are constantly learning and growing from its expression and evolution.
Make it easy to take "inner action" in ways that add a new dimension to how you personally value time, and balance it with external action in the creative equation.

We take food very seriously. Our breakfasts have been described as 'the best in France'. All the produce (apart from the croissants!) is organic. A wide selection of fresh seasonal fruit, brought when possible from local orchards and market gardens. Cheeses and artisan saucisson from Dijon market, a selection of artisanal breads, including organic wholemeal and sourdough, yoghourts, and eggs cooked to order. We also serve an extensive collection of organic green and black teas, and organic freshly ground Arabica coffee. During summer months, breakfast is on the terrace overlooking the vineyards.
We serve light meals from midday until 19.00. All the produce is fresh from Dijon market, cheeses, saucisson, and salads. Snails are from Jean Mathie, who owns a snail farm to the north of Dijon - they are simply the best snails we have found.
With adequate notice, we can organise a private chef, for lunches and dinners. With a large open kitchen, aperitifs can be taken while watching the action. The event can start with a short lesson in cooking the local speciality, Gougeres, which are truly excellent straight from the oven, with a glass of chilled local white wine. C'est parfait!
There are two good restaurants in the village of Gevrey Chambertin, within a short walk of Les Deux Chevres. There are other restaurants in the surrounding villages, some of which operate a 'call and collect' service from Les Deux Chevres. More information about restaurants can be found on our site blog.theburgundyshop.com . We are happy to help making reservations.


To tell a personal story is to allow others to know you. In business, it allows others to get a sense of the person with whom they are working - their history, thought process, values. But it is a fine line between sharing a story with vulnerability (good) and one that involves 'over-sharing' (not good).
This is why workshops and coaching sessions are so valuable.
But even with training, coaching, and workshops it's important to actually practice tell stories. Every skill improves with practice and performance.
Below are two 'non-corporate' events that I manage, that provide opportunities to tell stories in the SF Bay Area.

We started on time, with a good crowd for the summer, and the first 3 demo's were (pure chance) Microsoft .Net based products / services / websites. (rather than the more "typical" RoR, php or java).
WildApricot is a is well written web application ,with lots of attention to usability, that looks to automates daily administrative routines for associations and non-profits (professional associations; trade associations; charities; social welfare organizations; health issues organizations; sports and cultural associations; clubs; chambers of commerce; faith-based organizations; alumni organizations).
Anyhow, it is a great application with great potential. BonaSource knows their stuff.
JobLoft.com is a job board aimed at the retail, food services and hospitality industry. This is a working website, with tons of Web 2.0 stuff (feeds, google maps and more. (what no blog?. They heard me(?) -scary- and we how have a JobLoft Blog. ), with real corporate customers. The kicker is it was built part time in the 9 months prior to its spring 92206) launch. The group behind this should be proud of producing something so very impressive.
Filemobile is a media (pictures and video) manager bridging the gap between devices and the web. Lots of impressive potential but the presenter did not manger to convey a sense of excitement (perhaps because of the seating arrangement?). Pity. AmbientVector has nothing to worry, although I'm sure they could learn some things.
Languify look to help managing language resource files that power Localization (L10N) multi language web sites. It's the result of the work and learning of the people behind the Nuvvo learning web site. Still raw but a good start to solving a real world problem. Question : Would I be able to give (assign) edit rights to just one or more language files to another login? That would help in working with out side translators.
And Mike McDerment of FreshBooks.com fame talked about "converting" visitors into paying customers while Bending the spirit of the "no slides" rule. He made some interesting, and new to me, points. All of which will require further thought and then figuring out out to put and place (track and analysis in this case). Wish there was time for him to show the how (a future demo of what HE uses!), although I'm sold on the "WHY".
Update : Aug 2 How to measure the success of your web app by Mike, is up on the Think Vitamin website, and covers the same territory Mike talked about but also goes a little more in to the "HOW" and what he uses.

First – thank you for your kind words about our product and company!
If fact we have very carefully considered descriptive names like MemberThis, AssociationThat – and rejected them. First, there are already way too many companies in our space named like that – we would not stand out. Second, we are targeting small and midsize non-profits so we want to be warm and friendly and not stuffy shirts. I believe it is possible to be professional – but easy-going and friendly at the same time.


I can perhaps tinker with it until it gives me the right plot, but I think there is an issue there.
2. Even though the histnorm is set to probability density by default, I did not manage to make it look like a probability density. It looks more like a frequency "distplot".
3. The curve_type is set to kde. What kind of KDE is being used? I would like to try the epanechnikov kernel for instance.
Is a kde curve type meant to produce something like the density function in R?
The rug plot as well as the legend do not appear in the logical sequence.
but I think the default should be the order in which they were added.
I also think that the distance between the rug plots is disproportionately big.
I haven't actually dug into how this figure factory works yet, so unfortunately I don't have much guidance to offer at the moment.
@nicolaskruchten, what do you think about eventually adding a px.kde or pd.distplot function to plotly_express (https://github.com/plotly/plotly_express) to handle the distplot usecase?
@ursus, if we decide this is something that makes sense to implement in plotly_express we'll likely direct our efforts there since plotly_express provides a much more unified and powerful API than the distplot figure factory currently does.
We could do a few things with px here.
I have mentioned R's density function.
Mathematica also has a similar command which is really nice: SmoothKernelDistribution.
I've implemented idea 1 above: px.histogram() now has a marginal option so you can add the rug there. Still no KDE option though. Toying with the idea of a new kde trace type in plotly.js at the moment… basically a blend of violin and histogram minus histfunc. Would also allow for smooth cumulative density functions which would be nice.

BALTIC REGIONAL MEETING
ON THE STANDARDIZATION OF
Tallinn, 7-8 May 1992
REPORT OF THE MEETING
The meeting was held at the premises of the Institute of Language and Literature, Estonian Academy of Sciences. It was attended by linguists and cartographers from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and an observer from Finland (see document 1 and annex 2).
1. The meeting was opened by Mart Rannut, Director-General of the Estonian National Language Board. He welcomed the participants and suggested that the meeting should consecutively be chaired by a representative from Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. It was agreed that Henn Saari would chair the meeting on the 7th of May. The meeting on the 8th of May was chaired by Aivars Lekuzis (agenda items 7-9) and Vitalija Maciejauskienė (items 10-13). Helga Laasi was elected as the secretary of the meeting. The working languages of the meeting were English and Russian.
The agenda was adopted without changes.
2. Reports by the participants on the situation in their countries concerning the use and standardization of place names included the following.
Jurģis Kavacs gave a historical sketch about the use of names in maps (document 6). Janina Daračkaitė spoke about the problems of names in the Lithuanian cartography (document 4). Many historical names are being restored at present. Heiki Potter introduced documents 11, 12, 13, 14 and displayed examples of maps and names collection bulletins. He also told about the plans of the Estonian Land Board to compile and publish topographic maps. Aivars Lekuzis discussed the ways how to present correct names on maps (document 7). He emphasized the need for contacts with other cartographic enterprises in the world (e.g. Cartactual in Budapest).
Ojārs Bušs spoke about the collection of toponyms in Latvia and how it could be used in cartography. The problem of standardizing place names appears to be especially difficult in Latgale where the dialect is sometimes even considered as a separate language. Adaption of the toponyms to the literary language may cause conflicts with the enthusiasts of local Latgallian culture. An idea to show double names on maps has been discussed. Many parallel variants of names also exist in Kurzeme. Vitalija Maciejauskienė referred to document 17 and briefly characterized the state of names standardization in Lithuania. The Institute of the Lithuanian Language possesses a collection of over 1,000,000 name entries. Many names (those of populated places and the bodies of water) have already been standardized. These are frequently checked in various publications. Difficulties occur with microtoponyms. The problem of writing Polish place names is solved more on a political than linguistic level. Valdek Pall discussed the way how dialectal name forms should be transformed into literary language. Tradition of 50 or 100 years often prevents the use of a generally accepted principle that names should be spelled as they are locally pronounced. Greater problems are encountered in Southern Estonia. However, when more exact topographic maps are compiled, the writing of microtoponyms there will obviously be revised.
3. Review of the principles of the United Nations conferences on the standardization of geographical names and their application in Finland was given by Eeva Maria Närhi. She encouraged the delegates to actively participate in the international process of names' standardization and send their representatives to the forthcoming UN conference.
After that discussion on item 4 of the agenda was continued. Laimute Balode touched upon the question of dialectal name forms and the writing of names outside one's territory. Vita Strautniece reported on the project of collecting place names at the University of Latvia (document 15). 6 parishes out of about 500 have been investigated. Establishing the names of vanished objects on maps is also considered important. Jānis Turlajs was concerned with the names of villages and farmsteads in Latvia (document 16). There are more than 60,000 farms and 6,000 villages. Changes in the names of villages after World War II were mainly negative as these were made subjectively and without proper knowledge of Latvian. A new official list of village names is being prepared now. In general names that existed before 1940 are to be restored. Russified or germanized names should be avoided with the exeption of names of historical value. Occurrence of too frequent names and their transfer to other places pose problems. Similar problems exist also in Estonia, these were discussed by Rivo Noorkõiv, Meeri Lakson and Peeter Päll. A village name reform has been demanded and in some places (Saaremaa) already implemented without correct legal procedures. Different from Latvia, in Estonia a village constitutes the smallest official unit and all houses are included in one or another village. Names of farmsteads are recognized when individual farmsteads are established under the law, but the register of farm names is deficient in many parishes. In Latvia names of farms have always been officially registered.
4. After the meeting on the 7th of May the participants had an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the collections of place names at the Institute of Language and Literature and with the map publications of AS Regio (document 8).
5. Toponymic data bases, national gazetteers and other publications of place names.
Meeri Lakson spoke about the creation of a database of cartographic names at RE Eesti Maauuringud. The timetable for gathering information is connected with that of the basic map. Systematic computerized processing of toponyms is needed. Names are taken from various sources and then compared. Ambiguous names are checked in field research and only then entered into the database. The work is hindered by inadequate understanding of the importance of names in compiling maps. Every country should have a national toponymic database. Laimute Balode told that the toponymic collections at the Institute of the Latvian Language contain about 1,500,000 entries. Much attention has been paid on linguistical aspects of names: phonetics, morphology, etc. At the same time names lack map references. Marija Razmukaitė made a brief review of the principles of place name collections in Lithuania and listed official gazetteers. The same in respect of Estonia was done by Peeter Päll.
6. Principles of writing foreign place names, transcription and romanization systems were discussed together with the problems of exonyms. Aivars Lekuzis proposed that in writing names outside the borders of one's own country official national name forms should be preferred. However, Laimute Balode stressed that due to a need to decline names and so have specific nominative endings there has been a tradition in Latvia and Lithuania to transcribe all foreign place names irrespective of their original spelling. A new administrative map of Latvia has been published according to these principles. Aivars Lekuzis suggested that, as a compromise, traditional spellings of names could be shown, where appropriate, in the second place, e.g. Pärnu (Pērnava). After a brief discussion the participants agreed that in official map publications precedence should be given to national official forms of geographical names as has been recommended by the UN conferences.
Jānis Turlajs suggested that in writing place names of territories that the Baltic countries consider as theirs according to international law each country should adhere to the name forms accepted by the other Baltic country, e.g. Jaanilinn (Estonian place name on a territory currently under Russia's jurisdiction) should also appear in Latvian maps instead of Ivangorod. Aivars Lekuzis proposed that political aspects should be excluded in these matters. The map of Latvia shows only the Latvian name of Abrene (Pitalova, Pytalovo) in the Latvian territory under Russia's jurisdiction, strictly according to the text of the decision of Latvia's Supreme Council.
The participants also dealt with the problems of romanizing Russian and Belorussian names. The implementation of the international romanization system is complicated by the fact that name forms on road signs often do not correspond to those on maps. The 1987 Montréal system for the transliteration of Russian names will closely be studied by the participants. At present there are national transcription tables in each country.
Discussing the names of countries and exonyms in general it was stated that it was a matter for each country to decide. However, in writing new names the original spelling should be adhered to as much as possible. Eeva Maria Närhi introduced document 9 on exonyms in Finnish and suggested that lists of exonyms used in one's language should be prepared. In the case of Latvia and Lithuania, nevertheless, it would be problematic because almost every foreign name used would be an exonym in the strict sense.
7. Reproduction of Baltic place names on maps issued elsewhere was discussed by Peeter Päll. Apart from maps where names are simply not presented correctly (e.g. there are a lot of bad mistakes on the map of Estonia, published in 1990 in Moscow) the most common problem appears to be that names are not taken from original official sources but from the Russian Cyrillic transcriptions as if the names were in Russian. Correction of this misconcept would inevitably be necessary right now. The participants agreed that more efforts should be made to spread reliable information on the correct writing of Baltic names.
8. Initiatives for the United Nations conference. Eeva Maria Närhi briefed the participants on the requirements and procedured of the conference. She reminded that documents should be sent to the Secretariate not later than 1 June, 1992. As an example, she referred to document 10 (toponymic guidelines - Estonia).
Discussing the participation of the Baltic states in divisional activities of the UN conferences on the standardization of geographical names, the delegates agreed that a separate Baltic Division should be formed at the UN Group of Experts on Geographical Names. A draft resolution proposed to the Sixth UN Conference was adopted by the participants (document 20). However, this does not mean that the Baltic countries would not wish to participate in certain other divisions. Estonian delegates informed that due to language affiliation with Finnish and the presence of Swedish toponyms Estonia would also seek participation in the Norden Division.
9. After some discussion the participants adopted a final resolution of the meeting, prepared by a joint group of delegates from each country (annex 3).
10. The meeting was ended at 17.00 by Mart Rannut. He hoped for further co-operation between the Baltic states and wished that meetings of this kind would continue.

/Aircraft Communication
/Aircraft Antennas
Communications Antenna
An aircraft uses a range of radio frequencies to navigate to its destination and communicate with air traffic control. To do this successfully, the onboard radio equipment uses different types and sizes of antennas, each designed for their own frequency band.
Each of these antennas have their own characteristics regarding frequency and application and thus location on the aircraft. Even the connection between the antenna and avionics has its own set of specifications.
Aircraft short range communication uses the VHF band between 118 MHz and 137 MHz to talk with air traffic control. And as the location of the receiving station is not always the same or known, the signal must be send in all directions (omni) with a vertical polarization (upright, vertical antenna).
These VHF frequencies have a line of sight capability. This means VHF range is from where you stand or fly to the visible horizon. These signals normally do not follow the curvature of the Earth. Ok, well just a little.. about 20%.
The actual range depends also on the height of your antenna. Thus, an aircraft at FL400 has more VHF range than one flying at 1500 ft. It also depends on how much power your transmitter has (most have 7, some 10 or even 16 watts). Atmospheric conditions can either help increase range or make some frequencies unusable, this effect is sometimes noticeable on VHF but even more so on HF (3 MHz - 30 MHz) and LF (300 kHz - 3 MHz). More on that in our solar radio pages.
VHF Radio Range
To calculate VHF range, you may want to use this formula: VHF Range = 1.33 × (√H-aircraft + √H-gs).
Where: VHF Range in nautical miles, H-aircraft is the altitude of the aircraft in feet and H-gs is the height of the ground station antenna in feet.
The range is a theoretical optimum, actual range is less due to transmitter power, receiver sensitivity, antenna cable losses and efficiency of the antennas. To compensate for that effect use a multiplication factor of 1.2 for a more realistic range.
COM Antenna
A vertical, slightly bend backwards quarter wave rod placed on top or mounted on the bottom of the aircraft. Usually white or stainless steel. Sometimes blade antennas are used, they have a greater bandwidth (are less selective) but a drawback is a somewhat worse SWR (standing wave ratio, a factor indicating how good the antenna performs). This SWR should ideally be 1:1 meaning no reflection of signal from the antenna back to the radio, but up to 1:2.0 should work.
Or as someone once said: "The Standing Wave Ratio is a measure of how much power goes out of the antenna and how much is 'reflected' back towards the transmitter". Keep in mind that this antenna needs a good 'ground'. With a metal aircraft this is no problem, there is enough good 'conductive ground' metal available.
Composite Aircraft
With composite aircraft this problem can be solved by mounting a sheet of aluminum of at least 20" by 30" to act as ground (anything less and the installation will not radiate its full power). Make sure to install the antenna around third from the edge of the sheet so that it can 'see' its own electrical reflection. For bend wip antenna a sufficiently large oval sheet should do the trick perfectly.
Some antenna manufacturers sell a dipole, which is a symmetrical antenna and solves the ground problem altogether but this type must be mounted vertically and only then it is omnidirectional in its radiation pattern.
A number of composite aircraft are made of conductive (carbon fibre) composites. This acts as a shield (Cage of Faraday) and it will reduce radio reception and transmission range. In this case you will need external antennas and a sheet of metal as carbon fiber is not a perfect ground conductor.
Long Range Communications
As mentioned previously, VHF is limited to line of sight range and is not really suitable for direct communications over very long distances (although sometimes ionospheric conditions can open up the band and reflect even VHF beyond the curvature of the Earth). For reasonable predictable long range communications, the HF band (3 - 30 MHz) is usually used.
Most new aircraft, particularly airliners, are equipped with satellite communications to contact their home base and to provide wireless Internet for the passengers during the flight.
Vertical Fin
For long range communications the aircraft is equipped with separate radio's and a vertical antenna in the vertical fin (or a wire from wing tip to tail) dedicated for the HF band. For example: transatlantic flights use HF to communicate with either Gander in Canada or Shanwick in Ireland when they fly out of VHF range. It can also be used when onboard situations arise needing consulting with the home base.
Nowadays these HF radio's are used as backup and some pilots are also radio-amateurs (ham operator, like me ;-) and they have used it to communicate with other hams during the cruise phase of the flight.

Leeds Held as Ref Mathieson Observes "St. Tinkler's Day" – by Rob Atkinson
Tinkler – immortality beckons
Former referee Ray Tinkler has been venerated by generations of match officials in this country and further afield ever since his one moment of real fame, way back on 17th April 1971. On that spring afternoon, the man from Boston, Lincs managed with one crass decision to rob Leeds United of not just one but two Football League titles, thereby elevating himself to demigod status with the powers that be in English football. The missed offside call which allowed West Brom to score a decisive second that day made the difference at the end of the season, costing United the title by one point. Further, the resulting crowd invasion of the pitch (And Leeds will go mad! And they've every right to go mad!! – BBC Commentator Barry Davies) saw Elland Road closed for the first few home league games of the following season; the points dropped in playing those fixtures elsewhere saw Leeds condemned to second place behind Derby instead of comfortably Champions as they otherwise certainly would have been.
In a country where Leeds have been at odds with the football establishment for over half a century, Tinkler's little moment in the limelight is quite enough to see his name worshiped by modern-day officials who can only dream, under the all-seeing eye of today's blanket TV coverage, of making a similarly blatant "mistake" to the disadvantage of the Damned United. It's a deep, dark secret – but there is a highly-movable feast known as "St Tinkler's Day" which is there to be celebrated by any ref who does get the chance to drop a real clanger that will cost the Whites precious points. Generally speaking, it's been foreign refs who have most famously "done a Tinkler" – the European Finals of 1973 and 1975 are testimony to this – but the chance will still be grasped eagerly to this day, if there is the least possibility of getting away with it. What other explanation can there be, after all, for the kind of glaring mess-up made by Scott Mathieson in the Blackpool v United match on Boxing Day?
With the score at 1-1, the game was finely poised going into the last twenty minutes or so. Lee Peltier had given United a first half lead with a terrific far-post header, only for the Tangerines to equalise somewhat fortuitously, Ince's shot being deflected away from Paddy Kenny's reach by the attempted clearance of Marius Zaliukas.
Shortly after this, Leeds' lethal striker Ross McCormack received a ball outside the area and turned brilliantly to leave a path clear through on goal. Defender Kirk Broadfoot has little choice but to haul the Scot back just outside the 18 yard box. It was clearly not a penalty, but – with Broadfoot undeniably the last man – it was just as clearly a red-card offence. Everyone could see it, Broadfoot himself seemed resigned to it. And this is where Mathieson saw his golden chance to do a Tinkler. With the air of a man who was thinking "I'll be famous for this", he produced and brandished a mere yellow, to the amazed delight of Broadfoot and the outraged horror of everyone in the United camp. The free-kick came to nothing, and the game was destined to be a draw. Maybe United would have overcome ten men, and maybe they wouldn't – but referee Scott Mathieson, establishment man and Tinkler protege, had done his bit to deny them.
This was not a marginal decision, nor was it at all difficult to get right. Mathieson's weak excuse afterwards was that he didn't think McCormack had the ball under control. This opens a whole new can of worms, as Ross was being fouled and yet still looked favourite to score – but the warped logic of Mathieson's position seems to be: Defenders! Make sure your man is incapable of proceeding on goal by whatever foul means possible – just make sure he can't control the ball, and you won't be dismissed! Utter rubbish of course, but a man has to try and justify his Tinkler Tribute by any means possible.
Leeds emerge from the Blackpool game frustrated but with the knowledge of a job well done. They looked the likelier throughout, and had the game tactically in their grasp from the word go. An unlucky deflection and a truly woeful refereeing performance stood between United and a deserved victory. Broadfoot was ironically dismissed in the last few minutes; a straight red for an awful tackle on Marius Zaliukas. That's the second time in two games that an opposition player has seen red when faced with the mighty Marius – it seems we have a good'un there, and we'll just have to hope he remains in one piece.
Onwards to Forest now, and here's hoping that Leeds can perform just as resolutely as they did at Bloomfield Road. We'll have to trust to luck as well, and make a wish that whoever the ref is at the City Ground, he's not looking for a chance to pay his own tribute to refs' patron saint Ray Tinkler.

You could be forgiven for thinking there's an anti-Leeds bias at the football league and the bbc. I hope that idiot ref gets taken off the list after yesterday. Unbelievable,as a former Leeds midfielder would say. Did anyone also notice the amount of coverage five live gave to the cardiff city protests? We barely got a mention when we protested about bates. They were even interviewing the fans and commenting on the chants etc. One more thing Rob, they're still crapping on about shaun harveys socks on waccoe. Good god!

We Wuz Robbed, and didn't really look like we were ever going take full control of a game against a team having a bad run.
Yeah, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

a solid performance but we need to get neil danns in for Austin,but we won't so we will continue to let points go through lack of invention
Austin's been immense this season. He doesn't need replacing, maybe complementing.


Cardiff is a nice city. I know that's not the most ringing endorsement but Cardiff doesn't really seem to offer much out of the ordinary. There are some pleasant places to wander like Bute park, any number of arcades criss crossing the main streets and there of course a number of attractions.
However none of these really stood ut. Cardiff will be a good place to hang out and chill but there are plenty of other places you can go to first.
Certainly a weekend would be sufficient. I found the the people incredibly friendly and helpful so that's a plus!
After going to the city's main attractions I was still largely none the wiser what it means to be Welsh, what the historical events that shaped the country were and what was the impetus for devolution. Granted I was only visiting for a brief period but I would have expected to come away with some level of appreciation for the differences and uniqueness inherent in Welsh culture. Unfortunately not.
While I was in Cardiff I stayed at the Hotel Mercure Lodge. It was reasonably priced and offered a large double bedroom with ensuite. Really the only negative is that it's not well located.
Cardiff seems to be rebuilding nicely after the troubles from earlier this year.


Education is the basic foundation of development and growth of the society. This is not limited to economic development. There is a need to ensure all round development of the society. In order to assure that there is a perfect balance between skilled workforce and an intellectually developing society there is a need of two different kinds of education programs.
Both these types of education are a necessity of the society. If one ignores one type of education either the level of employment will suffer or there would be no research or invention in the society. So, in order to have all round development of the society both these forms of education are necessary, but the proportion of students in each depends on the type of economy.

Chief Rabbi calls for law to bypass Supreme Court rulings
It is urgent to change this decision,' says Chief Rabbi after Court rules restaurants may declare themselves kosher - without certification.
Tags: United Torah Judaism Shas David Lau
Tzvi Lev , Sep 14 , 2017 5:13 PM
Chief Rabbi Lau at Kenes Re'em
Eli Kobin
Israeli Chief Rabbi David Lau urged the haredi parties to legislate a Supreme Court bypass law after a recent decision by the court permitting restaurants to claim that they follow Jewish dietary law despite lacking any kosher certification, Kikar Hashabbat reported.
In a letter to Interior Minister Aryeh Deri (Shas) and UTJ MK Moshe Gafni, Rabbi Lau wrote that "while the Court ruled that the Rabbinate is the sole authority on kashrut (Jewish dietary law) matters, it made another decision that changed everything. It ruled that the owner of a restaurant can present itself as kosher as he sees it, even if he explicitly says that he does not have any kosher certification."
"On one hand, the court gave the sole authority relating to kashrut matters to the Rabbinate. On the other hand, it lets anyone claim that he is kosher, despite the inherent conflict of interest that the owner has in presenting himself as such."
Rabbi Lau contended that "this decision paves the way for fraud. It tell us more about the judges sitting there than it does about legal matters. It is inconceivable that a restaurant owner in the [majority Arab] Triangle region can declare that his ingredients are kosher and that he is meticulous about standards, but can anyone prevent him from doing so? What are the limits of supervision?"
Rabbi Lau implored the haredi parties to change the law, saying that "the public will be misled, and therefore I expect to change the decision".

Q: How can i pass data in reactstrap modal when specific button id is click? How can i pass data from my modal if specific button zone id is clicked? For example i have object listed below and got 2 buttons. How can i pass my Zone to respective buttons?
Here is how i define my state.
 constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
        data: Data,
        modal: false
    };
    this.toggle = this.toggle.bind(this);
}

toggle(item) {
    this.setState({
      modal: !this.state.modal
    });
}

Here's my button rendered. Two times.
<Button onClick={this.toggle} color="info" size="sm" block>Zone 1</Button>
<Button onClick={this.toggle} color="info" size="sm" block>Zone 2</Button>

Here's the data.
data:[{
    "Assignment": "52041",
    "Zone": "1"
},
{
    "Assignment": "52042",
    "Zone": "2"

class Test {
    constructor(props) {
        super(props);

Caribbean received billions in foreign direct investment in 2013 – ECLAC
Caribbean360 May 30, 2014
SANTIAGO, Chile, Friday May 30, 2014, CMC – The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) says the region notched a new historic high in 2013 by receiving US$184.92 billion in foreign direct investment (FDI), 5 percent more than in previous year in nominal terms.
The new report, "Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America and the Caribbean 2013," unveiled at ECLAC's headquarters on Thursday, said that while global FDI flows climbed 11 percent in 2013 from the previous year, Latin American and Caribbean's participation in the world's total stayed at 13percent.
The report said that FDI towards the region has grown steadily since 2003, with the exception of 2006 and 2009. But in proportion to the size of the economies, the report said FDI has remained practically stable since 2011.
"This growth has been sustained by an increase in domestic demand and high prices for commodities exports," ECLAC said.
It, however, said,in the last two years, the economic expansion has slowed and metal prices have fallen.
ECLAC, therefore, forecasts that FDI flows will diminish slightly in 2014.
But, despite this, the UN agency said that transnational companies "still show great interest in the region's long-term growth in consumption and in the exploitation of natural resources."
According to the new study, 82 percent of FDI flows go to the region's six biggest economies, although, in relative terms, they have more impact in smaller nations, especially those of the Caribbean.
Brazil receives 35 percent of the FDI that comes to Latin America and the Caribbean.

The European Union Mission in Libya commended the broad participation of Libyans in the LPDF
The European Union Mission in Libya said that the broad participation of Libyan leaders from all parts of Libya in the Libyan Political Dialogue Forum (LPDF), which is taking place in Geneva, shows real commitment from all parties and confirms the endeavor of the vast majority of Libyans for change.
The European mission said in a statement on Tuesday that the Libyans are about to clearly express their strong desire to hold elections, enjoy the stability and security provided by the civilian state, and obtain good jobs and services at the local level, stressing that Libya has all the resources to achieve these demands and ambitions.
The mission congratulated the Libyans who are working to achieve these ambitions, as well as the United Nations Support Mission in Libya for their tireless support for a better Libya.
The mission expressed its hope to build a government that would unite Libyans and secure stability and prosperity for them.

Beresheet spacecraft route to the moon. Courtesy.
At 9:00 AM Israel Time yesterday (2:00 AM ET), Beresheet, the Israeli spacecraft that is making its way to the moon, successfully completed another maneuver to make final adjustments before leaving Earth's orbit and joining the moon's orbit. In the maneuver, SpaceIL and IAI engineering teams started and ran the spacecraft's engines for 72 seconds. The teams are assessing the results to determine if another alignment will be required before Beresheet enters the lunar orbit this Thursday.
When Beresheet enters the moon's orbit, it will perform lunar capture, a complex maneuver to enter the moon's gravity and begin orbiting the moon before its planned landing this month. SpaceIL and IAI are now preparing for the lunar capture by practicing several scenarios, simulations and in-depth tests in the hybrid lab. The lunar capture will be accessible for media coverage. Additional details to follow.
Also yesterday at noon Israel time, Beresheet passed Earth, at about 1,700 kilometers (1,056 miles) for the last time. The engineering teams succeeded in taking a rare photo of Earth from a distance of about 16,000 kilometers (9,941 miles).

Q: Insert a records count into a different table I need to write the count of all records in one table into another. I am using an INSET INTO statement, it seems pretty straightforward. Access returns that I am making a syntax mistake. Here is my query:
   INSERT INTO tblA (Field1)
   VALUES (SELECT COUNT(tblB.ID) FROM tblB);

What is the problem here? Access documentation says you are allowed to give a query as argument for VALUES. Is it the aggregation that Access doesn't like?

A: I would do it with insert . . . select as Tim recommends.  But, I want to explain what is wrong with your syntax.
The syntax for insert . . . values is:
insert into tblA(field1)
    values ( . . . );

Notice the parentheses.  In addition, a subquery always needs to have its own parentheses.  So, to make your version work, you need an extra set of parentheses:
INSERT INTO tblA (Field1)
    VALUES ( (SELECT COUNT(tblB.ID) FROM tblB) );

A: Use INSERT INTO...SELECT:
INSERT INTO tblA (Field1)
SELECT COUNT(tblB.ID) FROM tblB

A: this the easy way we can use COALESCE, i hope it's usefull
SELECT
    table1.id,
    COALESCE(table2_count, 0) AS table2_count,
    COALESCE(table3_count, 0) AS table3_count
FROM users
LEFT JOIN (
    SELECT id, COUNT(*) AS table2_count
    FROM table2
    GROUP BY id
) table2_counts ON table2_counts.id = table1.id
LEFT JOIN (
    SELECT id, COUNT(*) AS table3_count
    FROM table3
    GROUP BY id
) table3_counts ON table3_counts.id = table1.id

New Releases Next Week 17/09/2009
Submitted by Mark / 11 years ago / Music News
First up is the main man of "unsigned hype" himself Tinchy Stryder who offers up his debut album "Catch 22". It's a solid effort but I wouldn't say it was an amazing album, there are a few standout tracks which could be earmarked for singles however the rest are not up to that standard.
01. Take Off (Produced By Tinchy Stryder)
02. I'm Landing (Produced By TMS)
03. Take Me Back feat. Taio Cruz (Produced By Fraser T. Smith)
04. Spotlight feat. Tanya Lacey (Produced By Fraser T. Smith)
05. Number 1 feat. N-Dubz (Produced By Fraser T. Smith)
06. Shake Me (Produced By Rapid)
07. Stryderman (Produced By Fraser T. Smith)
08. Warning (Produced By Labrinth) 3:18
09. First Place (Produced By Frankmusik)
10. Pit Stop (Produced By Tinchy Stryder)
11. Halo (Produced By Fraser T. Smith)
12. Tryna Be Me feat. Ruff Sqwad (Produced By Fraser T. Smith)
13. Never Leave You feat. Amelle (Produced By Fraser T. Smith)
14. We Got Dem feat. Chipmunk (Produced By Dirty Dangerous)
15. You're Not Alone (Produced By Rapid And Dirty Dangerous)
16. Preview (Produced By Fraser T. Smith)
17. Catch 22 (Produced By Tinchy Stryder)
18. Express Urself (Bonus) (Produced By Chase And Status)
As you can see the majority of the album has been produced by the talented Fraser T. Smith who has already notched up 2 #1 singles with "Take Me Back" and "Never Leave You" (with the possibility of a 3rd if "Never Leave You" beats the Black Eyed Peas this week). The three Tinchy Stryder produced tracks however are a major disappointment, three pointless interlude tracks which would not be missed if they had been left out.
My standout tracks which I have previously never encountered are "Spotlight" and "You're Not Alone" which both heavily sample 2 iconic 90's dance tracks. The former being "Azzido Da Bass – Dooms Night", the latter is "ATB – You're Not Alone" (which is also available to listen to below).
The second release is Calvin Harris' sophomore album "Ready For The Weekend". As I'm typing, his single of the same name is currently at the #3 spot (coincidentally behind Tinchy Stryder). Harris has already enjoyed the biggest hit of his career so far with "You're Not Alone" which stayed at the top spot for two weeks before being knocked off again by (you guessed it) Tinchy Stryder. Harris has become a household name which is also thanks to his successful collaborations with Dizzee Rascal on hits "Dance Wiv Me" and "Holiday".
1. The Rain *
2. Ready For The Weekend *
3. Stars Come Out *
4. You Used To Hold Me
5. Blue
6. I'm Not Alone *
7. Flashback
8. Worst Day
9. Relax
10. Limits
11. Burns Night
12. Yeah Yeah Yeah La La La
13. Dance Wiv Me *
14. 5iliconeator
It's a decent album but I don't think it is good enough effort – I was expecting more from this album based on strength of "You're Not Alone". There are a few tracks I like but there are also pointless filler tracks "Burns Night" and "5iliconeator"
Listen below to "Stars Come Out"
Calvin Harris, Tinchy Stryder
Calvin Harris – Summer
Sub Focus – Turn Back Time (Steerner Bootleg)

Sorry if it seems like I'm bitching, but he's actually not right about that case. It was quite obvious that she was using her female, flirty nature to convince him to agree with her. It wasn't just a innocent kiss.
Yeah, you're bitching, but I don't care.
I still don't see that. Maybe you think you see it because you don't like the character and you use circular logic to justidy your dislike? Just a gamble.
Sorry, I didn't mean to bitch. But I disagree with your statement! I actually like Esmeralda, I honestly think she's one of Disney's better and most underrated heroines, because that she's vivacious, strong and stand up for people. But I still stand for my statemnent about her kiss.
Oh, and Ariel was miserable because she didn't want to be underwater. Period. Doesn't matter how beautiful and swell it was. She was unhappy.
Yeah, but the film never justifies that fact. It would have been better if it explained why Ariel was so fascinated by humans, but the film never gets more deeper than that. And that isn't enough to justify why she was unhappy. Besides, she was a teenager and teenager have emotions who are constantly changing, right? She could have longed to be a human one day and yet change her mind the other day, right?
@ DisneyFan09: well, that may be true, what you say about Ariel and teenagers. But I look at the movie from the perspective of a teenager. I think that's what we're supposed to do. I mean, I still remember very vivdly how I was as a teenager. Even though girls and boys are obviously very different, I know how it was to feel such strong emotions and want to act upon them and being frustrated not being able to. So I can definitly understand Ariel. And that's why I root for her.
Disney Duster
Right Ariel was going to change her mind that's why she had a giant trove of things from the human world that must have taken a really long time to make. And what more did we need to hear about why she loved the human world? Do any of us know much more about why we like something beyond, well, we like it, there is a strong desire and happiness in us for it? Sometimes we can break big, seemingly strange desires into details that make sense, but, I can't imagine Ariel's really needing more. She thoughts humans and their world looked and felt amazing and cool. And she felt she needed to be there. Why do you like Disney? Would you still be happy if you lived in a swell, but Disneyless world where someone forbade you from liking Disney lol.
Cinderella (2015) is a really great, worthwhile movie!
FigmentJedi
Snow White. Can't detect obvious evil afoot and has an incredibly annoying voice, moreso with the voice actresses that took over the part in the 90s and present.
Good point. I'm not trying to bitch, but I still wanted to state that Ariel still doesn't change or develop as a character, although she (in the end) gets what she wants.
True. But I still don't care.

In addition to Belle (who, were it not for the lousy "feminist" example she sets, I still wouldn't like because Paige O'Hara is a terrible actress I think- very badly cast), I'm also not a big fan of Snow White. For reasons some already know but she is really dumb. To the point where you really have to scratch your head as to why the ending means so much (other than the terrific nostalgic feeling you get when the music turns on and the animation is stunning, of course).

Georgette and Tinkerbell. Georgette just has a grating personality, but I don't like how her spoiled attitude is allowed by the movie and the fandom just because "oh well, she's a diva". Also, prissy pampered white woman terrified of dirty hispanic cliché...No. Admittedly it's been years since I've seen the film, but she gave me a very negative impression.
Moana is kinda dull and her movie was overhyped in the months leading up to it, but she's overall a nice girl, even if a bit bland. But she's not really a "bad" person for one to dislike in that regard, just a little boring.
Anna, if only because I feel the filmmakers tried too hard with her. The fact that she's Rapunzel in her clownish apparel also doesn't work.
Honey Lemon, if only because she's so one-note, and her design is bland (I'm not a big fan of how skinny she is, either). Plus all the comments about "white hispanics don't exist" she brought to the discourse also soiled my opinion on her.
Awaiting for the Beatles of DVDIzzy: Disneyjedi , disneyphilip, TsWade2, and 2DDisney4Ever
And Goliath and Duster were Sonny and Cher.
What do you mean by clownish apparel for Anna? I see Anna as a quirky, more awkward character than Rapunzel.
Honey Lemon was a white hispanic?

Aren't Rapunzel, Anna, Honey Lemon and Judy Hopps basically the same character (personality wise)?
Disney Duster wrote:
It's just that, Anna feels Rapunzel done in extreme- much more goofier, much more awkward, and all that. Hence why I said "clownish".
And yes, Disney admitted Honey Lemon was latina (her voice actress is Puerto Rican). That lead to a buttload of people saying how that's whitewashing, how she looked "white", how hispanics are only dark-skinned...A lot of really ignorants comments regarding race and such, not understanding that Latin America, much like the USA, is a melting pot of different races living together. But Americans seem to have this idea that they must all look the same, and if not, they're just same ol' white people (never mind a white European can't compare to a white American? And white latinos also grow up having different beliefs and cultures etc compared to "white people", but nobody wants to accept that).
Just an ugly discussion all around.

You mean the sheltered, naive girl that comes from a small background and despite being naive, she's hardworking, determined and optimistic and has a dream? That goes on a trip with a patronizing jerk only to discover he's not all that bad and forms a connection with him? Yeah, pretty much.
There's also a bit of that in Tiana and Moana, too.

Completely agree. She panders to the audience too much for my taste which is also what I consider Rapunzel guilty of. After Tiana failed to connect with audiences, Disney seemed desperate to ensure that Rapunzel would be likable. Frankly, the long golden blonde hair should already have accomplished that, but they had to put her in the Barbified purple dress and give her every hobby that could ever exist so that chances are, little kids would relate to at least one, whether it's painting, baking, reading, or even ventriloquism. On top of that, she's a complete Mary-Sue who is somehow perfect in every way and flawless in every social interaction, despite being isolated for 18 years of her life. Not realistic at all, especially in comparison to Quasimodo. All the anachronistic lingo and valley-girl speak don't endear her to me either, although I imagine that the masses disagree on this.
All the Revival heroines are basically the same in looks and personality. Judy is the most well done version though so I don't mind her and think she's easily the best out of the new wave of heroines.
I'm still thrown off by apparel...? I get why you said "clownish" even though I would not use that word.
Oh that Honey Lemon thing is interesting.
I do not get the appeal of Moana. Movie or character. Someone stole an item. It has to go back. That's it. Oh, and let's steal the Firebird ending from Fantasia 2000.
Moana is more character driven than plot driven. What appeals to me about Moana is that it is a story about a young girl, who's torn between her obligation and her desire, who goes through a personal journey where she learns a lot about her culture, but more importantly about herself and who she really is. Plus it has one of the best soundtracks.
Oh. Well I can sort of see that appeal, but I guess I like more of a story.
Same. I love character development too but I think if I had to choose, I'd prefer something more like Sleeping Beauty than Moana.
Yeah, that's the kind of thing I just personally prefer.

Tinkerbell is annoying because she is a vindictive little witch. She is cute, but appearances are deceiving she tries to kill Wendy multiple times. And never has to own up to it. She does save Peter in the end but by then the damage has been done imo.
Merida is another annoying brat. They tried so hard to make her a "strong, independent woman" and totally unlike the other princesses. But they took all of the renaissance heroines, threw them in a blender and puled out Merida, But they forgot to make her likeable. Knowingly giving her mom a cake that could have killed and the way she is acting while her mother is choking. Again, like Tink she earns her lesson at the end but the damage has been done.
Eilonwy and Kida annoy me too. Moreso that people complain they aren't in the princess lineup because they are real princesses!!!! But their films were flops and that's why they aren't included. Plus they are both so bland. Eilonwy especially is bland in every possible way. It's a shame because she was so cool in the books. Her design is Alice 2.0 her personality is Alice and Wendy mixed together. They already have Alice and Wendy if they need the sassy English girl troupe. Kida's design is more interesting but that would hinder her inclusion in the long run. Pocahontas is barely featured and she has black hair not white. Plus Kida is kind of generic fierce, warrior princess troupe. And we already have Pocahontas/Mulan and Jasmine(counting the TV series) to fill that role. Also Cree Summer's voice doesn't really do it for me in the role. I can only think of The Rugrats when I hear her.
The White Witch and The Evil Queen = Greatest Villainesses Ever
Disney's Divinity
I so agree about Cree Summer. I always thought that was a horrible choice. Not because she's a bad voice actress, but because her voice is too distinctive and recognizable as another animated character.
I LOVE Eilonwy in the books. The movie barely taps the surface with her or Taran, making her fairly forgettable there.

Tom Mullica, one of the funniest magicians of all time, is the cover subject of the October 2013 issue of The Linking Ring. He recently moved to Las Vegas, but is still making people laugh as Red Skelton, in Branson, Missouri. This issue also continues coverage of the I.B.M. convention in Phoenix; includes coverage of the KIDabra Conference, continues an excerpt from Harry Larayne's new book, brings you a list of Ring Themes to choose from; and announces an exciting project to fight malaria in Africa, while bringing you some great magic. Let's take a walk through the issue.

NEWS-EDITORIAL CONTENT:
As usual, after the opening section of advertisements, Editor Sammy Smith gives us insights in his FROM THE EDITOR column. This month he observes that the development and speed of technology is as much the message as the message itself. Across the page, President BILL EVANS uses his column -- THE PRESIDENT'S PAGE -- to reflect on his observations of and with veteran magician Fielding West at Magic Live in Las Vegas in August. The bottom line: never speak negatively of another magician, and keep a positive attitude at all times.
The cover story is about the veteran comedy magician Tom Mullica and catching up on his colorful career and life. Three years ago he was diagnosed with Leukemia, and many people thought he was dying or even dead. But he has recovered, is cancer-free, and has continued making people laugh, as he uses his skills and talents in a tribute show to Red Skelton. Recently he moved to Las Vegas, but he continues his show in Branson.
Continuing coverage of the 85th Annual Convention of the I.B.M. in Phoenix in July, this issue shows seven pages of photos of all the contestants in the close-up and stage contests. Also, there are reviews of the Big Three Shows; the six lectures, and the Six Pack teach-in sessions.
RING EVENTS this month came from Ring 26 (New York City), Ring 140 (Ithaca, New York), Ring 151 (Ottawa), Ring 219 (Lafayette, Indiana), Ring 257 (Las Vegas), and Ring 291 (Palm Springs). These descriptions of special Ring activities give ideas for lecturers and other events your Ring might consider.
KIDABRA is one of those specialty groups (for kid and family entertainers) which have become increasingly popular in recent years. B..J. Hickman -- the Advertising Manager for The Linking Ring and the I.B.M. Web Portal -- is one of those entertainers, and attended this year's KIDabra Convention in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. He reviews that convention for the rest of us in three pages of text and photos.
In her column MAGICAL MOMENTS, Adele Friel Rhindress tells us about one of her female magician friends, Suzanne Sinclair.
This month has the second in a series of three excerpts from the new book by veteran magician and memory expert, Harry Lorayne. The book is "Before I Forget," and this excerpt is entitled "Best Trick of All." Mr. Lorayne selected the three excerpts himself, especially for publication here.
In his column CUTTING UP JACKPOTS, Bev Bergeron brings us a story about "Jim Ryan -- The Red Hot Mama." He gives us the fascinating background of this effect.
Marty Hahne talks about "Relating to Younger Children" in his column THE KID-SHOW CIRCUIT; and Skip Way devotes his POLISHING THE RINGS column this month to "Fishing for Members." He gives some great ideas on how and where to find new members for your Ring.
The BUSINESS OF THE SHOW column, by Scott Humston, brings us "Needs and Wants" this month. He relates the human struggle to distinguish between needs and wants, and relates it to finding and booking shows. Peter Scarlett brings us his monthly column -- THE LONDON EYES -- on what is happening in Great Britain and the I.B.M.'s largest Ring (25).
New Zealand's David Taylor has compiled a list of "53 Theme Suggestions for Magic at Ring Meetings," and shares them with us this month. What a terrific thought-starter list for every RIng to consider as they plan their year's ideas.
For a number of years, several groups have raised money to buy mosquito nets for people in Africa, to help combat malaria, which wills thousands of people every year. The National Basketball Association ("Nothing But Nets") and the United Methodist Church are two of the most visible and familiar projects. Now there is a new one, created by Canadian magicians David Peck and Matt Disero. Read all about their clever "Stop the Sucking" project.
In the October issue is the occasional list of RING LOCATIONS, so wherever you travel in the world you can see where there is an I.B.M. Ring to visit.
The HOCUS POCUS PARADE this month is by Jim Magus, a pioneer in bizarre magic. He brings us ten different effects. Mike Powers turns over his THE CARD CORNER column to veteran cardician Paul Lelekis, one of the best card men around. He brings us, "Gestalt."
A half-page house ad reminds everyone that the free e-book -- Roberto Giobbi's "Introduction to Card Magic" -- is still available to I.B.M. members to read online or to download. Go to the I.B.M. Web Portal and click on the Member Benefits button at the top right.
In his column WAYS AND MEANS, Joe Turner brings us "Covert Travelers, by Steve Schlanger. It is always fun to read how a magician takes some effect and changes or improves or adapts it with a new interpretation.
Peter Marucci brings us "Number of the Beast," in his monthly column, SHOWTIME. And Ed Solomon's STORYTELLING MAGIC column is entitled "The Mummy's Last Stand."
The HOCUS IN FOCUS section brings us reviews the following product reviews:
Cool Kid Show Comedy Magic: The Comedy Magic of Norm Barnhart

For October there are sixty-four RING REPORTS from I.B.M. Rings all over the world. Please don't just skip over these, since they are full of golden nuggets for you to try at your Ring. If you LOOK for good ideas to consider, you will find them.

Hilary had gotten used to dating the commitment-phobic Marc, thirteen years her senior. They had a great relationship–why rush into things? She saw no need to pressure him for marriage, believing that when the time was right, he would propose. But after they had been together for four years, their friends decided to take matters into their own hands, pushing Marc to propose and making Hilary realize how much she really did want to marry the man that she loved. Unfortunately, Marc still wasn't ready–and their friends' meddling in the form of a faux engagement party led to a disastrous New Year's Eve that brought their relationship to an inevitable turning point.

One year after devastating fire, Walnut Creek Amish Flea Market ready to reopen
KEVIN LYNCH The Wooster Daily Record
SUGARCREEK Challenging.
That's how January Tango describes the effort to rebuild and reopen after her Walnut Creek Amish Flea Market was nearly destroyed by fire last year.
On Aug. 21, the 55,000-square-foot building at 1900 state Route 39 sustained $2.3 million in damages.
More than 50 vendors were displaced by the fire, which broke out when a bolt of lightning struck the main building of the market, sparking flames. And the nearly 170,000 visitors each year to the popular destination were without a place to get their flea market fix long before the coronavirus pandemic shut down businesses.
It's been a long road back, said Tango, and the newly refurbished flea market is set to open at the end of the month.
"Dealing with the devastation of a lot of the vendors losing everything and having to start over is one thing," Tango said last week. "Mix in the COVID-19, and that put us back another six to eight weeks."
Almost all of the vendors are returning, said Tango, noting a few retired and some others decided to move on, "but the majority of them are coming back, and we're ecstatic about that."
"Everyone in here lost everything, so to see them return means a lot to us," she said.
The pandemic actually provided a silver lining in that the flea market would have been forced to shut down for a few months anyway, which allowed for more time to rebuild.
The opening date for the Walnut Creek Amish Flea Market is July 30. Visitors will be welcome from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday through Dec. 19.
Tango shares ownership with her mother Betty Zimmerman, who along with her husband have been working around the clock on landscaping to enhance the facility, and Mount Hope Fence put up a sight-seeing deck over the front entrance — complete with waterfalls — offering a view of the surrounding countryside.
Vendors returned on July 1 to rebuild their spaces inside the flea market building, which has been restored, deep-cleaned and painted since the August fire caused heat and smoke damage during a 3:30 a.m. storm. Firefighters and equipment from nearly 20 area fire departments responded to battle the blaze.
Lou Merkle of Amish Country Gourmet Food Products has been with the Zimmerman family since the market opened 10 years ago.
"It's been almost a year since the fire," Merkle said. "It will be wonderful to see all our old friends coming by to visit again."
Another vendor, Alice Radabaugh, who has two spaces in the market — Alice's Air Plants and Savor the Flavor spices, incense and accessories — said the opening feels like coming home again. She has been setting up shop in the flea market for eight years.
"We've got a busy four weeks ahead of us to get things set back up and ready for our customers to come back," Radabaugh said.
Tiffany Gerber, executive director of the Holmes County Chamber of Commerce and Tourism Bureau, called the Walnut Creek Amish Flea Market a vital part of the local economy.
"This will be a new beginning for the facility after a devastating August, 2019 fire gutted the market," Gerber said. "Shopping is an important aspect of the local tourism economy and having the market reopened is an important step forward."

Some years ago I published a piece at Catholic Thing about the conversion of Robert Bork to the Catholic Church. I recall on that day, which I was honored to attend, Father C. J. McCloskey said Bork had run almost the entire gamut of sacraments; baptism, first confession, first communion, confirmation, and had his marriage sacramentalized.
Five years ago, Robert Bork was baptized into the Catholic faith. Accompanied by his saintly wife Mary Ellen, in a chapel bursting with friends, Bork nearly ran the table of sacraments. He got five that day: baptism, confirmation, first confession, first Communion, and his marriage was regularized according to the Church. All that was missing were last rites and priestly ordination.
At the time of his Senate hearings, according to Bork himself, he was an atheist. And here is what I wonder. Would Bork have journeyed to Rome had he served on the Supreme Court? While Mary Ellen's example and influence would have remained present either way, other influences certainly would have been brought to bear, namely, power, and our tendency to attach ourselves to it. The rich young man went away because he was too attached to his things. How much more alluring is power? How heady is it to be in the very thick of the most important questions of our time; questions that affect hundreds of millions of lives and that reverberate through time even unto a kind of immortality? Wouldn't the danger of hubris and the Olympian nature of the Supreme Court make such interior considerations difficult, if not even impossible?
There is another puzzling question. With Bork on the court, Roe might have been overturned in 1992. But on the court Bork might not have found God and the Church. I don't even know how to think about that except in light of the shepherd who left the ninety-nine sheep to find the single lost one. The Church teaches that a single soul is worth more than the whole universe. Figure that one out, Christopher Hitchens.
A more pleasant thought: Is it possible that Robert Bork lost the whole world—the court and all that meant—but gained his soul?

Fernando Alonso: "From Q2 I was doing very similar lap times and I think we found the limit"
Credit: Alpine F1 Team
Fernando Alonso felt the Alpine F1 Team found their limit of performance during Qualifying for the São Paulo Grand Prix, although the Spaniard was able to get into Q3 for the first time since the Turkish Grand Prix.
Alonso felt comfortable in getting through to Q2, but after then it was difficult for him to improve on his lap times, and this made it more difficult to progress into Q3.
The two-time World Champion will start tenth on the grid for Saturday's Sprint Qualifying race, and he is looking to be aggressive and look to make positions up from his starting position so he can start Sunday's main race from higher up the grid.
"It was super close today," said Alonso. "I feel we had a productive morning and the car felt quite good and was behaving well.
"Qualifying also started reasonably, and we progressed into Q2 quite comfortably. But then I think from Q2 I was doing very similar lap times and I think we found the limit. We wanted to be a little higher and start on the clean side of the grid because the start could be crucial tomorrow.
"But let's see what our day is like, as it's Sprint Qualifying after all and we've done quite well with them in the past. I will be aggressive tomorrow as always and let's try to have some fun."
"We fell on the wrong side of the coin on this occasion" – Esteban Ocon
Team-mate Esteban Ocon was unfortunate to find himself eliminated in Q2, with the Frenchman ending just 0.052 seconds away from progressing into the top ten shootout.
Ocon acknowledged that the midfield battle at the Autódromo José Carlos Pace is extremely close so a tenth of a second here or there would make a big difference, and so it proved in Q2.
However, Ocon was pleased that Alpine appeared to show some much better pace in Brazil than they have in recent races, and he is hopeful of making gains across the weekend and to finish inside the points on Sunday.
"It was very close out there today between a number of cars," said Ocon. "We fell on the wrong side of the coin on this occasion, but that's the way it is sometimes.
"All the way through the sessions, the positions were decided by only a tenth or so, and that was the difference between reaching Q3 or falling just short. It's a little frustrating as the aim is to always be inside the top 10, but we can be pleased that we're back to where we should be after a run of difficult races.
"The performance was good, we're knocking on the door of the points and we can look forward to tomorrow. We have an opportunity in the Sprint Qualifying tomorrow to make up some positions and put ourselves in contention for Sunday's race."
