It took me a while to get it, but the hardest-working people don't work hard because they're disciplined. They work hard because working on an exciting problem is fun. So after today, it's not about pushing yourself; it's about finding your tennis ball, the thing that pulls you. It might take a while, but until you find it, keep listening for that little voice.
Where you live matters: there's only one MIT. And there's only one Hollywood and only one Silicon Valley. This isn't a coincidence: for whatever you're doing, there's usually only one place where the top people go. You should go there. Don't settle for anywhere else. Meeting my heroes and learning from them gave me a huge advantage.
Bill Gates's first company made software for traffic lights. Steve Jobs's first company made plastic whistles that let you make free phone calls. Both failed, but it's hard to imagine they were too upset about it. That's my favorite thing that changes today. You no longer carry around a number indicating the sum of all your mistakes. From now on, failure doesn't matter: you only have to be right once.

How can humans impact the water found in watersheds?
Environmental Science Earth Systems and Resources Global Water Resources and Use
There are many ways humans impact watersheds.
There are many ways humans directly and indirectly impact the water in watersheds. A watershed is an area of land where water drains to a single location.
Building dams and rerouting rivers are two examples of ways humans directly impact water in watersheds.
Changes in land cover and land use often affect watersheds and the water in them. For example, industrial agriculture uses many chemicals that run off the surface and pollute watersheds. Deforestation can increase soil erosion, leading to an increase of sediments in waters. Increase
Humans also use water as a resource, drawing from watersheds for our drinking water. This does not have to be a negative impact, as water usage can be monitored so that it is sustainable.

Q: Mapbox MGLAnnotations not rendering on MapView for Mapbox iOS I have been testing out using MapBox for my SwiftUI application but I've run into issues where my annotations are not appearing on my MapView even though they appear to have been added. My code for my updateAnnotations command, which is called on updateUIView is:
    private func updateAnnotations() {
        if let currentAnnotations = mapView.annotations {
            mapView.removeAnnotations(currentAnnotations)
        }

        for marker in devices.positions {
            let annotation = MGLPointAnnotation(title: marker.name, coordinate: marker.coordinate)
            mapView.addAnnotation(annotation)
            print("ADDED \(annotation)")
            print(mapView.annotations)
        }
    }

devices is a @ObservedObject containing a positions array of points with a title and coordinate to plot. My output from this code is:
ADDED <MGLPointAnnotation: 0x285abc9f0; title = "Test"; subtitle = (null); coordinate = -36.892800, 174.625000>
Optional([<MGLPointAnnotation: 0x2866b7c60; title = "Test"; subtitle = (null); coordinate = -36.892800, 174.625000>])

This doesn't make sense to me - the output suggests that the annotation has been created but it doesn't show up on the map. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: You need to pass in the MapView when using SwiftUI - e.g. change updateAnnotations() to updateAnnotations(_ mapView: MGLMapView)

Jesus makes recruiting a team look so easy, doesn't he? "Hey rugged fishermen over there! Drop what you're doing and come follow me," he shouts. And the amazing thing is that they follow. For most planters I talk to, they seem to have difficulty recreating the same results. The fact of the matter is that oftentimes recruiting a team, whether it be searching for initial staff members or courting prospective launch team members, can be extremely challenging. But does it have to be, is the real question?
Before we look a bit closer at Christ's recruitment model, let's first identify the hindrances that seem to prevent greater recruitment success. Church planters – here are the top 5 excuses we use when struggling to recruit the all-star team that we so desperately desire and need.
Top 5 Favorite Church Planter Excuses for Failing to Recruit Others (or the right people).
1.) "I don't know anybody." – This is initially understandable since in many situations church planters relocate to launch their plant and obviously it takes time to meet new people. With that being said, if you plan on pastoring a successful church – you're going to have to meet new people – and a LOT of 'em! Focus on "watering holes", you know like on those animal documentaries on the Discovery channel where all the animals come to together and intermingle around the pool of water. What are the watering holes in your community? If you live in suburban America, I'd suggest starting with the local Starbucks, Guitar Center, gym or YMCA, or a large bookstore like Barnes and Noble. But remember, proximity to people probably isn't enough…you're going to have to actually say, "Hi".
2.) "I lack the finances to be able to hire the right team." – Man, could I ever tell you about this one. I hid behind statements like this for years. Now I've realized, when it comes to recruiting the right people, money is nearly irrelevant. If you believe in your vision, then so will others. If you don't, people will recognize that, and they'll hesitate getting behind you. We planted our church about 7 years ago and we continue to run with an extremely high percentage of volunteers on our team. They aren't doing it out of obligation or for the money, but because they love Jesus and they want to see the mission of our church accomplished. Some church planters I meet are afraid to ask people to serve or come on staff without pay – let me remind you that unless you're part of a large planting organization, my guess is that you have or are currently working and serving the ministry with little to no pay. What made you do it? Why do you think others won't?
3.) "No one I try to recruit is better at the task that I am, so it's just easier to do it myself." Whoa there Lone Ranger! This kind of attitude is certain to solidify the fact that your ministry will never be bigger than yourself. I remind my teams and planters regularly, "The person who thinks that in order to get something done right you have to do it yourself, usually has to." In the beginning, this might be true, but long-term thinking dictates that we become master delegators. When someone takes over a new task, understand that quality could decrease, but with the right leadership and training, you should expect this person to outperform you in the near future. Delegating is a scary thing, but arrogance and shortsightedness are far worst.
4.) "I don't have the time to train people." A close cousin of #3, this excuse underestimates the value of duplication. If Jesus did anything, he duplicated. He went from 1, to 3, to 12, to 72, to 120, to 3,000, to the world. In fact, the majority of what we read about Jesus doing in scripture was focused on training his disciples. The reality is that you don't have the time to NOT train people. The best way to do this is to build regular training sessions throughout the month. Do you have a weekly staff meeting? Consider making the first 15 minutes a brief staff training or perhaps working in a longer training time into your next staff retreat.
5.) "I've tried recruiting people, but no one wants to help." Asking someone to help or get involved is different than recruitment. Asking someone to help all too often comes across as desperate and needy. Recruitment is based not on need, but vision. A good recruiter seeks to understand the person in front of them, discover their passions, creatively find meaningful opportunities for their involvement, and most importantly shows the value of the position or ministry. Bottom line, the church is about building people and not people building the church. Master this, and you'll never lack people to help.
In Luke 5:1-11, we read about Jesus calling his first disciples. As the story goes, Jesus began teaching by the shore, and as the people began to crowd him, he eventually asked Simon to allow him to preach from his boat so more could see and hear him. After he had finished teaching, Jesus blessed the fisherman by directing them to let down their nets for a catch. They did so and as the scripture tells us they caught so many fish that they had to signal their partners to come help them bring in the fish and even then, both boats were "so full that they began to sink." At this, the fisherman was amazed and fell before Jesus. He then said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will catch men." And the men left everything and followed him.
Here are the principles I see Jesus utilize.
1.) Start Small – Jesus didn't show up and just tell them to leave everything and follow him. He first simply asked if he could use their boats as a stage. Obviously, if they would have said no, this would have told Jesus something about them, but they didn't so he continued pursuing them. So what does this look like practically? For me, most of the time I purposely don't wear a watch, just so I have an excuse to talk to someone sitting next to me to inquire the time. It might not seem like much, but I've had some pretty incredible conversations come from the simple request, "Could you tell me the time?" Is one of your neighbors on your heart, ask to borrow one of their tools (and then make sure and return it.) Is this person already part of your ministry, ask to serve for an hour without asking for any commitment beyond that. How did they do? Did they show up on time? Did they serve with joy? Did they complete the task with excellence? The answers to these questions should tell you something and direct you with how to proceed.
2.) Equip Them – Before Jesus ever asked for a commitment from his soon to be disciples, he first taught them the Word. For me, in our ministry, we place a very high priority on understanding the gospel through the Word of God, so it's important that before I ask for huge commitments that I know that the people I'm asking have been impacted by the Word in their life – that they have experienced grace first hand. If prospective team members seem unaffected by the Word – I'd suggest looking for someone else. When first meeting someone, it might not always be realistic to squeeze in an hour message, but you don't have to. I like to hand out books and teaching CD's. Do the people respond? Do they ask questions? Were they impacted?
3.) Seek to Fulfill Their Dreams – Again, before Jesus ever asked for a commitment, he first filled their boat with more fish than they could count. He showed that he wasn't just interested in using them to fulfill his dreams, but that he was interested in fulfilling their dreams. In his book, Leadership That Builds People, Dr. James B. Richards says this about the typical model of recruitment, "What is the first thing we say when someone comes into our church? "Come on; catch the vision; become a part of it." That denies servanthood. Our introductory statement says, "Give up your dreams; give up what you want to do and help me do what I want to do." Jesus model wasn't about service, but wholeness. A true leader says, "Come follow me and I'll see that your dreams are fulfilled along the way." Get to know your people – what do they really want in life? What are their goals? How can these goals intersection with your ministry? How can you use your organization to further their dreams?
In conclusion, my biggest encouragement regarding recruiting would be to envision yourself in a world of more than enough; more than enough people, more than enough resources. When it comes down to it, essentially all of the excuses above come from a perspective of lack – from a place of questioning God's provision and call for me. Be encouraged. God wants your church to succeed. In fact, I would venture to say that (assuming you are preaching the gospel) that he wants your church to succeed even more than you do, because ultimately and in actuality – it's His church. So go out there and build that team. You got this, not because you're an awesome church planter (though I'm certain that you are), but because you have an awesome God.

Great post. I was in Kidmin for years and this was a similar view of recruitment we had. I am planting a church in New Orleans and thankful for this post, keeps things in perspective.

Scotland Records Its Highest Temperature On Record
By Jonathan Belles
A new national heat record was set in Scotland last week.
Several counties recorded their warmest Junes in part due to this recent heat wave.
A stagnant dome of high pressure is to blame for the record heat.
The highest temperature ever recorded in Scotland was set last week. The town of Motherwell, located on the outskirts of Glasgow in central Scotland, topped 91.7 degrees (or 33.2˚C) on Jun. 28, according to the United Kingdom Met Office.
The previous record had stood since August 2003 in Greycrook, Scotland when they reached 91.2˚F (or 32.9˚C).
A new country-wide high temperature record was set for Scotland last week in Motherwell.
(ogimet.com and the Met Office)
(MORE: June Heat Melted Roads in the United Kingdom, Ireland)
All four nations that make up the United Kingdom soared into the upper 80s or low 90s (above 30˚C). Ireland also recorded its highest June temperature in more than 40 years, according to Met Eireann, Ireland's meteorological service.
The heat is blamed on a large area of high pressure that sat between Scotland and Iceland with sinking, warm air for much of June. The high pressure system and associated heat wave also brought some of the driest weather ever recorded. Much of Ireland and the United Kingdom are entering droughts.
A ridge of high pressure sat over the British Isles to end June.
(MORE: When Was Your City's Hottest and Coolest Summer on Record?)
The month-ending heat came as much of the British Isles experienced a top-five warmest June.
Daytime temperatures in June averages about 67 degrees (or 19.9˚C) across the United Kingdom, which makes it the second warmest June on record. This number does not factor in overnight lows.
This average high temperature for the month ties the average high in June of 1976, a month that set many temperature records across the country. Some parts of the United Kingdom went 45 days without rainfall while other parts dealt with raging wildfires during the summer of 1976.
Northern Ireland and Wales reported their warmest Junes on record.
An all-time record high was also set in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on Jun. 28 as the mercury soared to 85.1 degrees.
While this heat may not sound alarming to us in the United States, many in this part of the world do not have air conditioning.

What is Tony's journey, vision and calling?
During my years as a university student I was involved in Student Life (a Campus Crusade ministry) when it first started at my campus at the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia I had the privilege of being personally discipled, learning how to spiritually guide some of my fellow students and also leading several students to Christ. We saw God do some amazing things when we stepped out in faith, prayed to Him and trusted Him and I considered this time to be one of the most purposeful and valuable experiences in my life. Now, after a 30 year career as a senior software engineer, computer science teacher and researcher I looked back and wished that I had given more of my working life to helping others discover Christ. I recalled the things I had seen God do through me and my friends as a university student and wondered if somehow He could now use me again.
In 2004, I first considered using the Internet as a tool for reaching out to lost people. Back then, I knew this might be important, but I never expected that it would grow to the extent that it has today, particularly in such a short time. We are now seeing tens of thousands every day responding to the message of God's love and forgiveness through online ministries. God has truly placed in our hands a new and unprecedented opportunity to fulfil the Great Commission to the next generation using this tool. There is now no doubt in my mind that it will significantly influence the future directions and outcomes of both local and international Christian missions.
In early 2010, with so much happening in Internet ministries world wide and so great an opportunity and need, my wife and I knew that it was time to obey God's call. We applied to move from being volunteers in this area to full-time service. We are now working part-time (1 day per week) with Campus Crusade for Christ Australia.
After more than 6 years preparing, we've taken the plunge and are now building our support team. Along the way, I've become Australian rep for Internet Evangelism Day, presented various electives on Internet Evangelism at local missions conventions and attended and presented at three international conferences in this area. It's been an exciting journey so far seeing God teach me about His provision for my trips in unexpected and sometimes miraculous ways. I've formed many new international friendships that I hope will bear fruit in future partnerships.
Right now, our most urgent need is that we find a team of partners who will support us in our future ministry. If you live in or near Brisbane, Australia; we'd love the opportunity to visit you to tell you more so that you can wisely and prayerfully consider investing in our ministry.
What is Jenny's journey, vision and calling?
Two years after my parents returned to Mt Isa, I went off to University in 1976 to study medicine. I have been conscious of God's presence and claim on my life from a very young age. However just before going to University I had a strong and very moving experience of his forgiveness and particular love for me which inspired me to step out boldly in faithful obedience to him. While at Uni I was an active member of Evangelical Union (a Christian student group) and a local church and grew spiritually under the ministry of Rev Stan Solomon. Later, as young doctor I became involved in a church with a ministry to university students and a strong emphasis on each Christian finding and using his or her spiritual gifts. During my regular time alone with God and his word I felt a strong call to a teaching ministry. This led me eventually to study at Bible College of Queensland (BCQ) and, on finishing my course, serving on to the BCQ faculty with pastoral oversight of students and lecturing. I also started postgraduate theological studies.
In 1989 I married Tony and we have since had 2 children. After 12 years of paid Christian ministry and years of trying to fit Doctoral studies in with family responsibilities, family circumstances meant that I needed to focus on caring for our children. God has gently been challenging me to believe he has plans for my future. Faith, hope and love have been his words to me over the last couple of years. Over this time I have expanded my experience of the Internet with its potential to connect with others online and have made a few small steps in blogging (for instance check out fantasytrekkers.com).
During this time I have also seen Tony's passion for communicating God's love and new life through Internet Missions. God has already greatly used him as he has shared his IT expertise and lateral thinking with others in this space however this has often meant late nights and limited opportunities. I am convinced God can use all our experiences. I am sure that he can and will use my love for communication, art and writing; my experience of God in my own life and in the lives of others both here and overseas; my theological training; my experiences as wife and mother; and my experiences in teaching, discipleship with all age groups as we both follow God's call into a this newest chapter of our lives. Together, we hope and pray for an enthusiastic team of people to stand beside us and make it possible to unlock the potential set before us.

Science Fiction Research Association
Entry updated 20 May 2020. Tagged: Community.
This group was formed in October 1970 to aid and encourage sf scholarship, especially in the USA and Canada. The first chairman was Thomas D Clareson. The organization has acted as a central liaison between academics teaching sf in the USA, though academic affiliation is not a requirement for membership, which can be active, honorary, institutional, student or emeritus. Members receive SFRA Newsletter (retitled SFRA Review in 1992) ten times a year; the annual SFRA Directory; and the critical journals Extrapolation and Science Fiction Studies. 1977 membership was 330, 1991 membership was 313 – of whom over 50 came from outside the USA – so it has remained much the same size. The SFRA holds an annual conference, usually in June, at which papers are delivered and its annual Pilgrim Award for services to sf scholarship and/or criticism is announced; in 2019 the official name of the award was changed to the somewhat more cumbrous The SFRA Award for Lifetime Contributions to SF Scholarship. Since 1990 the SFRA has given a second annual award, the Pioneer Award, for best critical essay of the year, the first two being won by Veronica Hollinger (1990) and H Bruce Franklin (1991). Although SFRA was originally envisaged as focusing primarily on sf, it has for some time announced itself as "the oldest professional association for the study of science fiction, fantasy and horror/Gothic literature and film, and utopian studies". Since 1995, SFRA has presented the Thomas D Clareson Award for services to the genre. [PN]

Facial reconstruction provides glimpse of priest who died 900 years ago
mediabest May 30, 2020	facialprovidesreconstruction
Experts in the U.K. have reconstructed the face of a priest who died 900 years ago.
The priest's skeleton was discovered at Lincoln Cathedral in England earlier this year. Analysis of the remains revealed that he was just under 5 feet 7 inches tall and between the ages of 35 and 45 when he died, but was most likely in his late 30s, according to Lincoln Cathedral.
A pewter chalice and paten, or plate used to hold Eucharistic bread, were buried with the man, reflecting his role as a priest. Similar objects have been dated back to the 12th and 13th centuries.
Archaeological consultancy Allen Archaeology was involved in the excavation of the remains and also worked with forensic artist Hew Morrison to build a reconstruction of the priest's face. "The outcome looks like a real-life photo; enabling the people of Lincoln and Lincolnshire to come face to face with the medieval priest," explained Lincoln Cathedral, in a statement.
Without the availability of DNA testing, the priest's hair and eye color are still unknown. Features of his skull, such as his close-set eyes and slightly asymmetrical chin have been used in the reconstruction. Morrison told Fox News that the man's lip size, and the height and width of his mouth were accurately recreated by measuring the enamel of the skeleton's teeth.
A bone report gave no indication that the priest suffered from disease or injury during his life. "The degeneration of the discs of his lower spine show that the priest was involved in some level of physical activity, and are within the changes that would be expected to have occurred with age," said Lincoln Cathedral, in its statement. "His remains suggest that he was apparently well nourished and had a relatively risk-free lifestyle."
Construction on Lincoln Cathedral began in 1072 and it was consecrated in 1092. One of England's famed Gothic cathedrals, it was also the tallest building in the world for 1311 when its Central Tower was replaced with a new tower and spire. The cathedral held the title for 238 years.
This is not the first time that facial reconstruction has been used to provide a fascinating glimpse into the past. In 2018, in another project, experts used 3D technology to reconstruct the face of an 18th-century "witch."
Lilias Adie, from the village of Torryburn in Eastern Scotland, died in prison in 1704 after she had "confessed" to being a witch and having sex with the devil, according to the University of Dundee, which worked on the reconstruction project.
The University of Dundee's Centre for Anatomy and Human Identification worked with BBC Radio Scotland's Time Travels show to recreate Adie's features.
In 2013, facial reconstruction was used to reveal the face of England's long-lost King Richard III.

2G refers to the second generation (and 3G, the third generation) wireless telephone technology used by cellular providers. Because it is older technology, 2G is being replaced by 3G technology and will be shut down completely by December 31, 2016.
It can take up to 30 seconds after an alarm sounds for the signal to be sent to the Central Station. During this time, if an alarm panel is reset, it is possible that the Central Station will not receive the alarm.
A type of security system that restricts access to authorized users at certain times. Different access levels can be granted to different users.
An event triggered by an alarm system that alerts the control panel that some type of emergency has occurred. The control panel then sends signals to the Monitoring Center, where operators can dispatch the appropriate help.
A service provided by a Monitoring Center, in which a security system is connected 24/7 to a Monitoring Center operator.
A device for signaling an emergency. Signals are usually audible and/or visual.
The means of verifying that an actual intrusion has taken place.
The act of turning your security system on, so that it is ready to detect an alarm event.
Arming the system when you are leaving the home. This mode will activate all zones and all sensors, including both perimeter sensors and interior zones such as your interior motion sensors.
Arming the system when you are staying in the home. Armed Stay will only activate your perimeter sensors such as door and window sensors and glass break detectors. Motion detectors will not be active in this mode so that you can walk around the home without tripping an alarm.
A battery back up is protection placed in or around your security control panel. The battery back up keeps your security safety alarm system online in case of an electrical failure.
A type of alarm communication path that uses the digital cellular network to send an alarm signal from the control panel to the Monitoring Center. The benefits of cellular monitoring are that no phone line is needed and there is no chance of a criminal cutting your alarm communication line as it is a wireless cellular signal. Cellular monitoring is one of the most reliable ways to monitor a security system.
An agency that receives alarms from customers' security systems and requests the dispatch of fire, police or medical authorities, based on the type of emergency.
A cloud is essentially a third-party operated data center that offers online storage of data that can be accessed at any time using an Internet connection.
A panel that receives transmissions from alarm sensors and communicates data to the Monitoring Center.
Any alarm device that can be connected to a security system to provide notification of an alarm event to the control panel. Door/window contacts, motion detectors, glass break detectors, and smoke detectors are some of the most common detectors found on a security system.
The act of turning your security system off, so that it will no longer detect an alarm event.
The act of calling in an alarm event to the proper authorities. Monitoring Center operators are the ones typically doing the dispatch.
A device that receives and records images from video cameras, allowing the footage to be viewed from a monitor, computer or smart device.
If the alarm panel is reset with the proper panel disarm code after an alarm is tripped, an operator will make a courtesy call to the premise phone number listed on the account. If there is an answer at the number, the operator will ensure everything is okay and will ask for the verbal password for the account. If there is no answer, the proper disarm will be used as electronic verification that everything is okay and no dispatch will be made. This helps reduce unnecessary false dispatches.
Solutions that allow users to control their lights and thermostats (or other appliances) from a Web-enabled device. By being able to turn these items on and off remotely, users can better manage their energy consumption.
An emergency alarm, such as a fire or burglar alarm, that is set off unnecessarily and triggers a response from local fire department of law enforcement. False alarms waste public resources as emergency responders spend time and money responding to an incident that is not a real emergency.
A signal transmitted by heat, fire or smoke detectors to the Monitoring Center to alert the fire department.
An electronic device that detects frequencies that accompany the breaking of glass.
Heat detectors can determine changes in temperature in your house or building. Heat Detectors can be a standalone fire alarm safety system or can work in conjunction with other safety security systems.
A cloud-based service that allows the customer to control lights, locks and thermostats inside their home from their computer or smart device.
A device that allows for visual verification of alarms. Usually consists of a motion sensor that triggers a video recording and an alarm to the Monitoring Center if motion is detected.
Alarm systems that communicate through telephone lines are designed to take over the line when an alarm is activated. This will disconnect anyone on the phone and will also prevent any incoming or outgoing calls to be made on the line the alarm system communicates on until the alarm is fully transmitted to the central station.
Devices that register changes of state in interior or exterior spaces. Motion sensors are highly effective in intrusion detection.
Electronic alerts (email and/or text messages) that are sent to your smartphone when an event you specify is triggered.
A device that when pressed, causes an alarm event regardless of whether or not the security system is armed or unarmed.
A personal code that you enter into your alarm system via the control panel to arm and disarm your system. You should always keep your passcode confidential.
A device worn around your neck or wrist containing a button that when pushed connects you to a Monitoring Center operator that can summon medical help for you.
Technology that allows for the installation of a radio alarm backup system without telephone lines. These cellular backup support systems may also be added to your present alarm protection system as a back-up which sends alarm signals by radio to the central surveillance monitoring station.
A sensor is a device that detects a change, such as the opening of a window or door, which triggers an event to the control panel and an ultimate alarm to the Monitoring Center.
An electronic device, such as a phone or tablet, that is generally connected to other devices or networks via different protocols such as Bluetooth, WiFi, cellular networks, etc., that can operate to some extent interactively and autonomously.
An electronic device that senses the presence of smoke and sends a smoke alarm signal to the control panel.
A control panel feature that allows the Monitoring Center to listen in and talk to the homeowner when an alarm signal is received.
A type of security that uses a digital video recorder (DVR) as well as security cameras to monitor a location. Video footage is stored on the DVR and can be retrieved. Most video surveillance systems give the user the ability to look in live to their property over an active Internet connection allowing them to monitor the site from anywhere.
Z-Wave is wireless technology that makes regular household products like lights, door locks and thermostats "smart." Z-Wave products "talk" to each other wirelessly and securely and can be accessed and controlled on your computer, smartphone or tablet.

Destination of the Week: Budapest
Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here.
For today's Destination of the Week, TPG contributor Adee Braun takes us to a city that she called home for a year—one of the stateliest and underappreciated capitals of Central Europe. We're headed to Budapest, Hungary.
A view of the Danube in Budapest.
When the medieval kings of Hungary decided to build themselves a capital, they chose their new home wisely on a rocky hill overlooking a wide river. Today that rocky hill is home to the Buda Castle and that wide Danube River flows through the majestic city of Budapest. Like its neighboring countries, the last century has been a difficult one for Hungary. It has lost wars and an empire and spent years behind the Iron Curtain. Despite this, Budapest today stands out as a beautiful former capital of a realm that once spanned from the Carpathian Mountains to the Adriatic Sea. A lot of people have passed through Budapest at one time or another—the Romans, the Turks, the Austrians, the Germans—and they've all left their mark. But Budapest is no mausoleum. It is a lively city with diverse neighborhoods full of cafes, yellow trams, historic buildings, new constructions, vibrant markets and colorful festivals.

The Danube River runs through the city, dividing Buda from Pest, which were once two separate cities until they merged in 1873. Today, Budapest is Hungary's capital and largest city. Buda is the city's old Medieval neighborhood where the Buda Castle looks down on Pest and the leafy Buda hills are dotted with the homes of the city's elite.
The most direct (and expensive) way to visit Castle Hill is by funicular. A local bus will also take up there via a twisting scenic route for a lot less money. Castle Hill is a dense collection of sights, hotels and some cafes and restaurants including the Ruszwurm Cukraszda, one of the oldest and best pastry shops in the city. You'll find the Buda Castle, Matthias Church and the Fisherman's Bastion on the hill, as well as the National Library and National Archives. The brightly colored medieval and Baroque buildings, cobblestoned streets and magnificent views make Castle Hill the prime tourist spot of the city.
The castle itself is not a singular gothic structure as you might imagine, but rather a sprawling complex of buildings from various periods dating back to the 13th century. The main structure is a wide Baroque palace that stretches across the top of the hill which houses several museums including the Budapest History Museum and the Hungarian National Gallery.

Across the Danube, Pest offers the livelier, 19th-century section of the city, with grand avenues and buildings. The iconic Chain Bridge (Széchenyi lánchíd), built in 1849, was the first permanent bridge to span the Danube. A few block inland from the bridge is Budapest's Champs-Élysées, Andrássy Avenue, the grand boulevard that cuts through central Pest to City Park.
It was in fact modeled after the Parisian boulevard, and you'll find many of the same designer shops along it as well as the magnificent Hungarian State Opera House. Tickets are affordable and can usually be bought that the same day, or a day or two in advance. Andrássy Avenue ends at the crescent shaped Millennium Monument on Heroes Square, completed in 1900 to celebrate 1,000 years of the Hungarian nation. Beyond the square lies City Park, a leafy respite with strolling paths, a couple ponds, and a reconstruction of a Transylvanian Castle that is now the musty Museum of Hungarian Agriculture. But the gem of the park is the palatial Széchenyi Bath.
Budapest has dozens of thermal baths ranging in size and style, but if you only go to one, this should be the one. It's in a lemony colored neo-Baroque building featuring indoor and outdoor baths as well as a pool. It's not a luxurious spa experience, but taking a soak in a palace amongst both locals and tourists is one Pesti experience that is not to be missed.
Also in Pest is the Jewish quarter, which was once home to one of the largest Jewish communities in Europe. The Dohány Street Synagogue, also known as the Great Synagogue, is Europe's largest and is a stunning example of neo-Moorish design. The synagogue welcomes visitors for tours, which includes entrance to the adjacent museum. The Jewish Quarter, once a ghetto, has been thoroughly gentrified and today is one of Budapest's hippest neighborhoods with great restaurants and secret "ruin bars," which have set up shop in the carcasses of grand abandoned buildings.
Central Market (Photo credit: Adee Braun)
The Austrians brought cafe culture to Budapest, a legacy that remains strong today. Budapest cafes come in all shapes and sizes, but there are a few historic ones that should not be missed including the New York Cafe in the Boscolo Marriott (mentioned below), Centrál Café and Lukács for a strong Hungarian kávé (small, strong coffee) and a buttery krémes (cream pastry). Budapest is still low on culinary diversity, but the Central Market is a great place to get a taste of Hungarian food from dried meats, cheeses, pastries and fresh produce. Every district has its own market as well, where the prices are lower and crowds are thinner. Dining in Budapest is a casual affair with decent lunches of traditional fare such as goulash and chicken paprika. Fine and international dining is slowly finding its way to the city which now boasts two Michelin star restaurants: Onyx and Costes.
YOUR EXPERIENCES
Destination of the Week pieces are not meant to be comprehensive guides to destinations since we don't have the time or funds to visit all these places in person and report back to you. Nor are they endorsements of all the hotels we mention. They are simply roundups of top destinations that we have specifically pinpointed for the opportunity they present to use your miles and points to get to and stay there. As always, we welcome your comments to help enrich the content here, provide opinions and first-hand experiences of these destinations.
RyanAir has a large presence in Budapest.
Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport (BUD), formerly Ferihegy Airport, was a bit pokey by international standards until 2012 when an expansion and renovations were completed. Although Budapest is a hub for Central Europe, there are no non-stop flights from the US. This is partially due to the fact that Hungary no longer has a national airline since Malév went bankrupt and then ceased operations in 2012.
When it comes to SkyTeam, KLM offers non-stop service to Amsterdam, and Air France flies direct to Paris-Charles de Gaulle. On Star Alliance, you can connect through Frankfurt, as Lufthansa flies from there as well as Munich and Dusseldorf among other airports. Oneworld flyers could connect through London-Heathrow on British Airways. RyanAir and Wizz Air both have a large presence at Budapest and provide low-cost air transportation within Europe, though beware the extra fees.
The airport is located about 10 miles outside the city center. There are several ways to get there varying in convenience and cost. A train runs very frequently from Terminal 1 to Nyugati Train Station and takes about 25 minutes for 370 HUF ($1.60). Alternatively, the 200E bus runs every 10 minutes from Terminal 2 to the last stop on Metro Line 3 at Kőbánya-Kispest. The whole trip takes about 50 minutes and only costs 320 HUF ($1.40). You can also take a taxi (Főtaxi has the monopoly), which will take about 25 minutes to get to the city center. The prices are set by zone and run 3,800-6,500 HUF ($16-28). There's also the Airport Shuttle, which you can reserve ahead of time. It will take longer but will cost 3,200-5,500 HUF ($14-23).

Deluxe king room at the Four Seasons Gresham Palace.
Four Seasons Gresham Palace: This is the destination hotel of Budapest. When you walk over the Chain Bridge from Buda to Pest, the spectacular Art Nouveau Gresham Palace greets you on the other side. Needless to say, the location cannot be beat, and the hotel is so striking that tourists (including this one) have been known to mill about the lobby gawking at the detailed mosaics. Built in 1906 as the Gresham Life Assurance Company, it reopened in 2004 as a Four Seasons after five years of restoration. The rooms are equally meticulously designed with eclectic and elegant mahogany furnishings and marbled bathrooms. Some rooms have Danube views and some suites have small balconies. The health club includes fitness equipment, an infinity pool, Jacuzzi, sauna and full spa services with seven treatment rooms. The Gresham Restaurant serves Hungarian and Italian cuisine. The Bar and Lobby Lounge offers lighter fare and drinks under the spectacular glass cupola of the lobby. For more on the Gresham Palace read TPG's review from his stay. Room rates in July start at 275 EUR ($360).
The Le Méridien Budapest is also part of the Amex Fine Hotels and Resorts program.

Tim Murnane Named to People to Know List
Tim Murnane
Recently Tim Murnane, president & CEO of Opus Holding, L.L.C., was named to Twin Cities Business Magazine's list of 100 People to Know in 2018. The 100 People to Know are chosen by the magazine's editorial staff. The list is a Minnesota business "Who's Who," recognizing people and the organizations they lead that will have the biggest impact on the region's economy and corporate community in the coming year.
While he was recognized for leading Opus out of the economic downturn to a position of considerable strength, Tim is quick to credit our extraordinary team of associates, the leadership team and continued support from the Rauenhorst family for our successes and correction after the recession. "We've had another strong year, and I think 2018 is going to be great as well," Tim said. "I have all of our associates to thank for this. Your hard work and dedication continues to move us forward."
According to the magazine, "The company has struck gold in the Twin Cities and around the country with market-rate and student apartments, spec-industrial projects and build-to-suit office deals. Opus and Murnane are bullish on the future." We currently have $1.3 billion of projects either recently completed or in progress. Tim's leadership has empowered the company to thrive and succeed and strategically enter new geographies and sectors by predicting and responding to market demands.
Congratulations, Tim, and to all of our associates for your hard work and dedication!

Some of our favorite things in the world are inspirational, "girl power!" movies about female friendship — so we love that Jessie J's "Flashlight" music video is essentially an ode to the Barden Bellas' tight-knit bond in Pitch Perfect 2.
The video centers on the British singer making her way through the campus of the fictional Barden University, belting out the empowering and inspirational song.
"Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight / You're getting me, getting me through the night," Jessie J sings at the center of campus, as emotional clips of that Barden Bellas bond are interspersed throughout the music video.
And the British crooner — who, at one point, belts out the song in the dark as the audience waves thousands of flashlights in the air — revealed that "Flashlight" will be the big performance at the end of the movie.
Well, we all know (and love) it now! And as if we weren't bowled over by the heart-lifting tune alone, the fact that it was written by freaking Sam Smith and Sia is enough to seal the deal.
Check out Jessie J's "Flashlight" music video above! And just in case you forgot, Pitch Perfect 2 hits theaters nationwide on May 15, so aca-do. it. up.

Maurice "Mort" John Ockenfels Sr. died Thursday, Oct. 19, 2017, at age 92, surrounded by his family. He and his wife, Marcy, founded City Carton Recycling Co., which was headquartered in Iowa City, Iowa, in 1967. They operated the company for 25 years before retiring and selling the business to their children in 1990.
City Carton was the largest recycling company in Iowa before being acquired by Republic Services of Phoenix in January of 2015.
