## v1.1.0 / 2016-07-12

- remove several warnings "Unknown prop xmlns on tag". As the `xmlns` attribute is not a required tag for SVG elements which are inside HTML documents we can safely remove the attribute. Removing the attribute also removes the warning.

- use [ref callback](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/more-about-refs.html#the-ref-callback-attribute) instead `ReactDOM.findDOMNode`.
- use [classnames](https://github.com/JedWatson/classnames) instead custom ES6 string interpolation for conditional CSS classnames.
- create examples in master branch to make playing around and viewing the components easier.

## v1.0.1 / 2016-07-12

- [1dae340](https://github.com/HBM/react-components/commit/1dae3407eb0a70be9f1cd3623979dad86a801ae0): fix path to progress component

## v1.0.0 / 2016-07-12

- initial release


When a woman turns forty, it is a special birthday for her. She feels fully like a woman and also feels that her life is halfway over. In other words lots of mixed emotions; some very prideful to have made it so far and others fearful with kids leaving the nest and realizing she will never be a girl any more.
Finding gifts for a woman's fortieth birthday can be a tricky thing. You want to give something that shows you think she is a woman but not something that says you think she is boring or no longer attractive and desirable.
You want to perhaps help her celebrate all of her accomplishments in her life and show her how much your appreciation for her has grown. You also want to support her perhaps not wanting to be reminded of her age.
With all of these aims to fulfill picking a gift for her might seem incredibly difficult. For this reason we have provided a few great ideas for gifts to give the woman turning 40.
Forty is that age where the skin is beginning to lose some of its elasticity, particularly if she is fair skinned. These women tend to have skin that ages more quickly. In any case, you can be sure that she is concerned about her skin and wondering how she will keep it looking young.
Luminesce – The Luminesce anti-aging skin care line is dermatologist developed and restores youthful vitality and radiance to your skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and reveals your unique glow. These constantly hydrating formulas include the exclusive, proprietary APT-200, maintaining younger, smoother, and softer looking skin.
Advantage-4™ – Is a daily food supplement for women only to help keep your skin looking healthy and youthful. The capsules promote good health by enhancing the immune system, for a natural radiant, whitening, brightening and youthful looking skin, rebalance hormonal system and promote a firming muscle.
These products will help to bring out or restore the glow and shine to her skin while making it look younger.
Age forty is a great year to throw a memorable party. Depending on your budget you a throw a big swanky affair and invite people from all eras in her life. Look for some elementary school, high school, university, and friends from work to participate and remind her what she has meant to them for such a long period of time. Get a really nice cake and perhaps put together a video presentation that features her through the years.
If you have a small budget do the same thing but on a smaller scale perhaps in your home and with fewer people. The goal is to make her feel special and to let her know how much she is loved. Be sure that there are people who love to have fun and who know how to make a party special. She will never forget this special birthday.

A nonprofit aimed at getting women back into the workforce is expanding its network to include some of the biggest names in tech.
Path Forward works with companies to create 'returnship' positions for mid-career professionals—mainly women—who want to get back into the workplace after taking time off to care for a child, parent, or other loved one. The New York-based organization launched in March 2016 after being spun out from data provider Return Path, where it had started as an in-house initiative.
Domain registrar GoDaddy (GDDY, -0.61%), online education platform Coursera, and grocery delivery startup Instacart were among the six companies in Path Forward's first official cohort, which offered 18-week paid internships starting in October 2016 to caregivers looking to return to the professional sphere. AppNexus, Medallia, Intacct, Volta, Quantcast, and Cloudera joined for Path Forward's second cohort.
All told, 142 individuals have participated in a 'returnship' through Path Forward or are currently completing one. Of those who have graduated from the program, 85% had a job within six months of finishing. Some were hired by their 'returnship' sponsors; others got jobs elsewhere. The 'returnships' are open to men and women, but women have made up the vast majority of participants so far.
Companies in the Path Forward network pay the nonprofit an administrative fee in exchange for training on how to run their programs and for promotional services. The 'returnship' positions they hope to fill—from engineering roles to marketing to sales—will be posted on Path Forward's website, but the companies collect applications, vet candidates, and pay interns on their own.
On Tuesday, Forman told Fortune that she expects Apple, for instance, to enter the program with an "open-minded" approach; likely listing a "bunch" of 'returnship' roles and understanding that it may not fill them all.
In addition to Apple, Oracle, Intuit, and Udemy, Path Forward's 2018 program will include Carta, Campbell Soup Company, DataStax, iconectiv, Sterling Talent Solutions, and TeleTech. Those 10 companies are new to the program; another six—Cloudera, Cloudflare, Medallia, Return Path, Verisk, and Volta—are returning. All together, Forman is expecting the companies to post about 100 job listings in three markets—California, Colorado, and New York—and anticipates 80% will be filled.
At the same time, Path Forward provides a vital resource for individuals who are looking to return to the workforce after a caregiving hiatus. The returnship model eases them back into a professional setting, gives them a fresh line on their resumes, and provides them with an intimate introduction to a potential, full-time employer.
Lack of opportunity—rather than lack of ambition—is sometimes at play among women who've exited the workforce and want to come back. Research from the Center for Talent Innovation found that nearly nine out of 10 highly qualified women who left their jobs voluntarily for an average of 2.7 years wanted to return, but only 40% were able to find full-time, mainstream work.

Capitals winger Tom Wilson banned 20 games for preseason hit

WASHINGTON (AP) — Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson was suspended 20 games by the NHL on Wednesday for a blindside hit to the head of an opponent during the preseason.
Wilson's punishment was announced just hours before the reigning Stanley Cup champion Capitals were to raise a banner and open their title defense by hosting the Boston Bruins to begin the regular season.
The physical right winger, who plays on Washington's top line with captain Alex Ovechkin, drew a 10-minute penalty for the way he hit St. Louis Blues center Oskar Sundqvist in the second period of the teams' exhibition game on Sunday. Wilson had an in-person hearing with the NHL's Department of Player Safety in New York on Wednesday.
The video released to explain the punishment says: "Wilson delivers a high, forceful hit, which makes Sundqvist's head the main point of contact on a hit where such head contact was avoidable and causes an injury."
Blues coach Mike Yeo called the hit "predatory."
Wilson will forfeit $1.26 million in salary because of the suspension. It is the longest suspension in the NHL for on-ice play since Raffi Torres of the San Jose Sharks was banned for 41 games in 2015, also for a preseason hit.
The league noted that Wilson "is considered a repeat offender" — and, indeed, this is hardly Wilson's first time has been in trouble for the way he has taken out an opposing player.
He was suspended twice because of preseason hits a year ago, then had to sit out three games during the playoffs for a check to the head that broke Pittsburgh Penguins center Zach Aston-Reese's jaw and caused a concussion.
"There are certain ways they are calling things. You need to be aware of how they're making their calls on suspensions. He's a big, strong guy who skates really well. There is a lot of force behind his contact," Capitals general manager Brian MacLellan said Tuesday, the day before the suspension. "He needs to be aware of how they're determining what's legal and what's illegal from the league's standpoint."
The Capitals see Wilson as a vital part of the franchise's future, and MacLellan signed him to a $31 million, six-year contract this offseason.
Wilson doubled his career high with 14 goals and set a new mark with 35 points last season, when he was the only NHL forward with 30-plus points and 90-plus penalty minutes, finishing with 187 and a league-high 41 minors. Then he contributed 15 points in 21 games during Washington's run to its first championship.

Many of the smaller lending apps don't have a website. Those who do, provide no information about the company. At best, there's an email address and a phone number. Mint reached out to some of the bigger and popular lenders that borrowers had complained about on social media.
Clarifying about the high interest rates, Ilica Chauhan, vice-president, PC Financial Services Pvt. Ltd, owner of CashBean, said: "The company's interest rate policy has been adopted by its board of directors after taking into account all necessary considerations (costs) associated with the business. " She dismissed complaints related to aggressive recovery agents as "fake", carried out to damage their reputation.
On aggressive recovery tactics, Gaurav Jalan, founder and CEO, mPokket, said that there was only one case where a former recovery executive posted on the Facebook timeline of a borrower on his own accord. But it was sorted after the incident came to light. On higher interest rates and daily penalty, Jalan said, "These are only to discourage borrowers from defaulting.
An electronic digital remedy unlocks source cycle finance for small businesses in India
Why we purchased Cashinvoice, a digital platform that permits use of working-capital for huge and mid-sized corporates and their MSME lovers
Smaller businesses in Asia establish an astounding wide range of work, using more than 100 million individuals around the world. The small, smaller than average average business (MSME) market in addition sorts the central source of India's economy, bookkeeping for 29 percentage of the nation's gross home-based goods (GDP) and 49 per cent of their exports. Despite their particular essential financial and societal part, these small enterprises are held back once again from achieving their possibilities by lack of use of prompt and reasonably priced credit score rating goods they should do well. Without enough credit, Indian MSMEs aren't ready to temperatures difficult era, supplies string bumps, or have what they need to develop in the future. The ongoing pandemic provides disturbed supplies chains, increased procurement bills, and has now made it more challenging for MSMEs to gain access to credit score rating.
At Accion project Lab, we think during the potential of supply cycle financing to connect the working investment gap for MSMEs. That's precisely why we're excited to invest in Cashinvoice, an electronic digital invoicing and repayments remedy for big and mid-sized businesses as well as their home business vendors and consumers. Cashinvoice leverages technologies to carry banking institutions, large companies, in addition to their MSME manufacturers and users onto one program that streamlines costs with regards to their solutions, unlocks working capital for small enterprises once they require it, and provides them embedded borrowing products to grow their own people.

Emma Jackson has been a household name in the triathlon community for over a decade. When she won the Under-23 World Championship back in 2010, she proved that she deserved a spot on the podium, with five World Triathlon Series podiums under her belt. And she even competed in her first Olympics in 2012 when she was only 21 years old, coming in eighth place.
And this Australian doesn't go unrecognized: she's been named the Clem Jones Emerging Athlete of the Year (WomenSport QLD Awards, 2009), the Chris Hewitt Emerging Athlete of the Year (Triathlon Australia, 2010), and the Under-23 Triathlete of the Year (International Triathlon Union, 2010), as well as One to Watch (Support Women in Sport Awards, 2011), Junior Sportswomen of the Year (WomenSport QLD Awards, 2011), and the 2013 QAS Triathlete of the Year. With that award concentration, it's no surprise that from 2007-2010, Jackson completed seventeen International Triathlon Union competitions, and within those races, she was in the top ten rank eleven times.
In the last few years, Jackson has still been very active in the triathlon community. She was decorated in gold at three world cups in just 2017 alone, including her victories at the Kinloch OTU Sprint Triathlon Oceania Championships and the Mooloolaba ITU Triathlon World Cup. Last year, she got her very first win in the World Triathlon Series in Edmonton, proving her talent is unwavering through the years.

Staging and Performance
Shailja Patel on Theatre: "Theatre is a relationship"
Migritude is founded on Shailja Patel's multiple and deeply connected relationships. Such as the relationship with her history and culture, and her relationship with her identity. Patel's personal experience, as well as the experiences of those close to her, tell a complex story of strength, pain, and love. It is only fitting that she use theatre to present them. In addition to the relationships established in the text, theatre introduces new perspectives;
Patel + the audience: Possibly the most important, the connection between Patel and the audience dictates how well the message gets across. The goal of the show is to share the stories of the people who are forgotten or left out of history. Having that strong connection ensures they will be heard. Below are some examples on how she breaks the barrier between the stage and the audience.
"When I perform the first part of this piece, I become the watcher. I have to see my parents and the immigration official so vividly, that the audience sees them too" (92).
"In the finale of the show, the audience has finally earned the right to see the saris in all their splendor. Because they've engaged with the violence and violation beneath" (95).
Patel + the Director and Choreographer: Little is mentioned about the professional process between Patel and her coworkers. But, it can be assumed that through the time and care put into every detail of Migritude, as mentioned often in part two of the piece.
The show was Directed by Kim Cook, who also acted as the Dramaturg and Creative Development Partner. Cook brought both a professional and personal perspective to Migritude. Her background and passion for Art and Civic engagement mirrors Patel's own attitudes. This similarity creates trust and respect between the two artists. The strength of the performance signifies that.
Choreographer Parijat Desai, brought a new element that Patel had little experience with. Dancing was used to express emotion and conflict, so Patel put a great deal of faith into Desai to bring those experiences forward.
Patel + Migritude: Without Patel, Migritude would have no life. The success of the show relies entirely on Patel. Her relationship with the stories is the primary motivation to continue pushing and creating art that engages the audience with activism and passion. Below is a podcast that explores the different mediums of Migritude, and highlights Patel's experience with performing.
https://www.arts.gov/audio/shailja-patel
This video gives insight into how Patel prepared for the one-woman show, and what the show means to her as an artist.
The use of fabric as prop and symbol:
Saris play a significant role in both the text and the performance. To Patel, they hold powerful ties to her family and identity. For the audience, they are the link between the culture and history of the show. Each Sari was chosen with clear intent and motivation, base on what they represent.
Saris symbolize femininity in Patel's experience, which was closely linked to weakness and fear as well.
The fact that the Saris are personal belongings of Patel, and were given to her from her mother, adds humanity and depth to the performance and evoke a passion in Patel that feeds the performance. She described watching her mom dress in her Sari before weddings as "…our childhood theatre" (79).
How do they function in the show?
Having visual tools such as the saris allows for more creative expression and aids in storytelling. Since this is a one-woman show, Patel cannot rely on dialogue to push the story along. She must create tension and emotions with the small amount of tools she has besides her self. This is done with careful consideration and timing. It conveys tone and attitude, character development, and cultural context. Here are some examples of how Patel utilized the saris to provide technical and creative support.
"Shake the folds together with a snap. Hangs the sari firmly on a bar as I say, "A man we can do business with" (79).
[Watching her mother dress] "When she put on a sari, it was a ritual, ceremony. She brought a precise choreography to the folding of the pleats at the waist, the extension of her arm to measure length of the pallav" (80).
Other Performances:
This is another example of how Patel uses fabric to coney emotions and character.
Here is audio of a reading of "The Making (Migrant Song)" which is featured in Migritude.

Phenomenally Latina T-Shirt Is Spreading Awareness About Latina Equal Pay Day
"The wage gap is greatest for Latinas."
Mekita Rivas
Today is Latina Equal Pay Day and, unfortunately, it does not mean that Latinas are finally getting paid what they're worth. Instead, the opposite generally continues to be the case. According to the Labor Council for Latin American Advancement, November 1 marks the extra 10 months and one day that Latinas had to work in 2018 to get paid as much money as white, non-Hispanic men made just in 2017. When you break down the numbers, it's pretty bleak: For every dollar that a white, non-Hispanic takes home, his Latina counterpart will typically be paid just 53 cents.
"It's been over 50 years since the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963," Meena Harris, founder of the Phenomenal Woman Action Campaign, tells Teen Vogue. "And income inequality between men and women continues to widen."
That's precisely why Meena is using fashion to shine the spotlight on this inequity and to ignite real change. Through the Phenomenally Latina initiative launching today, the Phenomenal Woman Action Campaign is highlighting just how severe the pay gap is for Latinas. T-shirts with "Phenomenally Latina" printed on the front retail for $35, and every shirt sold benefits the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health. Celebrity ambassadors include Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and more.
"We're launching this campaign on Latina Equal Pay Day to draw attention to the fact that the wage gap is greatest for Latinas," Meena says. "Unequal pay is just the one of the problems faced by Latina workers. We know that pay discrimination not only exists alongside workplace sexual harassment, but also is often exacerbated by it."
Women who face harassment at work, Meena explains, are more likely to switch jobs — even if doing so isn't in their best interest. "Harassment and pay discrimination are perpetuated by power imbalance," she explains. "We need a new framework and culture shift that includes aggressive investigations into sexual harassment claims and accountability for abusers, as well as serious commitments from leaders at the top to actually hire more women, pay them better, promote them into leadership positions, and track and publicize pay metrics so we can measure progress."

CPC Policy and Advocacy 2018 Year In Review
As we begin 2019, we wanted to reflect on some of the work that CPC has done over the last year to advance our communities through policy and advocacy, thanks to your partnership!
The Policy and Public Affairs division of CPC was established as part of the Advancing our CommUNITY strategy to address the persistent needs and emerging trends in our communities, and we help to achieve this strategy through transformative public policy change. This past October, the Policy division celebrated our first birthday, but in the short time we have been a part of CPC's mission, we have already done a great deal, thanks to the hard work of the entire CPC staff.
Here are just a few of the things that we did in 2018 to advocate for and advance our communities. We look forward to working together in 2019!
CPC stood with immigrant families
In a year when immigrants were under attack by the federal administration, CPC showed up to stand with all immigrants. We participated in a historic family separation march, rallied against the detention of a community member, and released a statement on the travel ban on Muslims.
CPC hosted our first ever city advocacy day
Part of advocating for our community is making sure we are heard and seen! Over 150 CPC staff and community members convened on the steps of City Hall for a rally and press conference. CPC staff attended trainings and prepared to meet with over 30 elected officials, advocating for budget priorities that are important for our staff and our communities.
CPC fought for better social services
In order to better serve our communities, we need to make sure that our programs are fully funded, staff are well-compensated, and we have the resources we need. We rallied for better salaries, testified on program funded, and called for the city and state to cover the full cost of providing human services.
CPC advocated for education and access for all New Yorkers
For many immigrant New Yorkers, education and employment access starts with adult literacy classes at CBOs like CPC. We fought for increased funding for adult literacy programs, hosted the New York City Council as they announced a historic investment, and fought for better college access and affordability.
CPC raised discretionary funding for our programs
New York City Council discretionary funding allows us to enhance our services to community members. CPC staff rallied, testified, and met with elected officials to raise over $1 million in discretionary funding, over $250,000 more than the year before. CPC thanks our partners in the New York City Council for their generous support!
CPC partnered with elected officials to advance our communities
Our partners in office at the city, state, and federal level are so important! From hosting site visits at our community centers, to legislative meetings at the U.S. Capitol, we are excited to continue to working with our partners in office in 2019!
CPC got out the AAPI vote
The 2018 election represented a historic turnout for Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) voters, and CPC worked hard to do our part in turning out the vote, from registering new voters, to language accessible candidate surveys, to hosting candidate forums, to working with our partners at New York Civil Liberties Union, Asian Pacific Islander American Health Forum, and Asian American Legal Defense Fund, to calling AAPI voters across the country!
CPC fought back against the proposed public charge rule
As the public charge rule threatened the future economic security and immigration status of our community members, CPC fought back through rallies and direct action, staff trainings, press briefings, community education forums, and submitting public comments.
CPC advocated to make sure all New Yorkers count in the 2020 Census
With resources and representation at stake in the 2020 Census, CPC has been working hard to ensure that our communities count. We joined the Steering Committee of the New York Counts 2020 Coalition led by NYIC, joined the Brooklyn Complete Count Committee and the AAPI Complete Count Committee, and have been actively fighting against the inclusion of the citizenship question.
CPC organized for healthcare for all New Yorkers
One of the biggest priorities CPC staff and community members identified is healthcare, and we have been fighting for healthcare for all New Yorkers, regardless of immigration status. We helped get a New York City Council Resolution passed in support of it, helped organize a rally and hearing, and put on a public forum for immigrant-serving organizations.
CPC fought for a better transit system
Another major issue that staff and community members identified was transportation. CPC staff have been working with the Fix the Subway coalition to call for investments in our transit system.
CPC weighed in on emerging issues
Being a leader for our communities also means being a thought leader. In 2018, we began issuing statements on emerging issues, from asylum access to LBGTQ rights to anti-blackness in the AAPI community. We spoke out about issues impacting our communities in the media from the Guardian to the Gothamist to the Village Voice.

The first element of the Salesian educational system, reason, is the strategy to understand the character of young people and how young people learn. At the same time, reason fosters the ability to communicate with them. The second element is religion. The message of the Gospel is an integral part of education since the Good News is the light that will lead individuals through life in this world to life in the next. To reason and religion is added kindness. It seeks to create a persuasive atmosphere, where trust and communication is fostered, thereby uniting the community in a spirit of joy, love, and peace.

To: David Cooke, Director of the BBFC
Help UK DVD publishers withstand the revised Video Recordings Act
Dan Hunter, MovieMail
Dear David Cooke
Britain has some of the most exciting and inventive independent DVD labels in the world and they are threatened by the revised Video Recordings Act. Supplementary material is vital for these publishers because it encourages film lovers to buy the physical product rather than seek illegal sources. However, the changes to the VRA mean including extras on disc could become financially unviable.
The VRA is loosely worded and open to interpretation - how the BBFC chooses to implement it is of vital importance, as are the rates it charges these smaller publishers.
Please ensure that this thriving and valuable sector of the British film industry survives by tailoring the BBFC's requirements accordingly.
Right now, Britain has some of the most exciting and inventive independent DVD labels in the world, companies doing everything from producing definitive editions of arthouse classics to rescuing the forgotten treasures of British film.
The Government has changed the Video Recording Act so that any 'documentary' material that includes clips of films that would be rated higher than a U (including clips that have already been classified) will no longer be exempt from classification. This means greatly increased costs and the potential end of extras-laden releases. It therefore threatens the very existence of the independent DVD publishing sector who rely on these editions to make purchasing a legal edition attractive, thus combating piracy.

Childrens don't buy DVDs, let alone foreign or artie flicks. You want to protect them, stop them from watching Michael Bay movies and leave indie distributors alone.

I simply don't wish to see independent labels be forced to compromise their standards or go out of business. The change to the Video Recordings Act is totally unnecessary.

Too much great British art is being stifled by socio-economic factors without legislation joining the party.

Q: Get time/index of high and low of dataframe aggegated by time frequency I have the following dataframe dataframe spanning multiple days with 1 min OHLCV values. The dataframe would be quite big, 20 years of data. (1 year would be about 117,000 rows I estimate..).
                       open    high     low   close   volume
date
2022-09-08 15:30:00  314.69  314.83  313.83  314.11   764.54
2022-09-08 15:31:00  314.10  314.22  313.86  314.08   184.55
2022-09-08 15:32:00  314.20  314.37  313.98  314.14   170.66
2022-09-09 21:55:00  322.54  322.54  322.39  322.50   184.44
2022-09-09 21:56:00  322.48  322.48  322.31  322.38   296.67
2022-09-09 21:57:00  322.38  322.40  322.30  322.33   253.45

Per day I want to return the date and time of the highest value of the column 'high' and the lowest value of the column 'low'.
So the result would be in this case.
             high                   low
date
2022-09-08   2022-09-08 15:30:00    2022-09-08 15:30:00
2022-09-09   2022-09-09 21:55:00    2022-09-09 21:57:00

I would be very grateful if someone can help me with how to do this in an efficient way.
Thanks a lot!
Ivo

A: I'll be interested to see what one-liner someone comes back with. But here's a working solution.
Basically, using the idxmax function to get row with the maximum value in the 'high' column and the idxmin function to get the row with the minimum value in the 'low' column. Then merging those two frames together at the end.
df = pd.DataFrame([
    ['2022-09-08 15:30:00', 314.69,  314.83,  313.83,  314.11,   764.54],
    ['2022-09-08 15:31:00', 314.10,  314.22,  313.86,  314.08,   184.55],
    ['2022-09-08 15:32:00', 314.20,  314.37,  313.98,  314.14,   170.66],
    ['2022-09-09 21:55:00', 322.54,  322.54,  322.39,  322.50,   184.44],
    ['2022-09-09 21:56:00', 322.48,  322.48,  322.31,  322.38,   296.67],
    ['2022-09-09 21:57:00', 322.38,  322.40,  322.30,  322.33,   253.45]
], columns=['datetime', 'open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume']

)

df['date'] = pd.to_datetime(df['datetime']).dt.date

df_max = df[['date','datetime']].loc[df.groupby('date')['high'].idxmax()]
df_max.rename(columns = {'datetime':'max_datetime'}, inplace = True)

df_min = df[['date','datetime']].loc[df.groupby('date')['low'].idxmin()]
df_min.rename(columns = {'datetime':'min_datetime'}, inplace = True)

xx = pd.merge(df_max, df_min, how='left', on='date')

date
max_datetime
min_datetime

2022-09-08
2022-09-08 15:30:00
2022-09-08 15:30:00

2022-09-09
2022-09-09 21:55:00
2022-09-09 21:57:00

A: Use groupby.agg with idxmin/idxmax on a datetime index:
# ensure datetime
df.index = pd.to_datetime(df.index)

out = (df
   .groupby(df.index.date)
   .agg({'high': 'idxmax',
         'low': 'idxmin'})
   .rename_axis('date')
 )

Output:
                          high                 low
date
2022-09-08 2022-09-08 15:30:00 2022-09-08 15:30:00
2022-09-09 2022-09-09 21:55:00 2022-09-09 21:57:00

Q: SAML does RequestedAttribute[FriendlyName] map to Attribute[Name]? When creating (SAML2.0) SP metadata, I can request attributes to be returned by the IdP. For example:
...
<md:AttributeConsumingService>
  <md:RequestedAttribute FriendlyName="givenName"
                         Name="urn:oid.2.5.4.42"/>
</md:AttributeConsumingService>
...

On successful login, I will see this as part of AttributeStatement:
...
<saml2:AttributeStatement xmlns:saml2="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:assertion">
   <saml2:Attribute Name="givenName">
      Tom
   </saml2:Attribute>
</saml2:AttributeStatement>

... I think.
Question is: Does my requested Requested[FriendlyName] value, in this case "givenName" map directly to the returned Attribute[Name] value?  That is, if I simply change FriendlyName's value to "FirstName", should I expect the returned Attribute to be named "FirstName" rather than "givenName"?
And, does such a change require a change on the IdP side? That is, should I expect that the IdP is "looking" at value of FriendlyName rather than the Name="urn:oid.2.5.4.42", or should it flow transparently through (a well built IdP)?
Or, is asserted attribute's Name tied to the requested Name oid & and if I request Name="urn:oid.2.5.4.42", I'll get an asserted attribute Name="givenName", always.

A: The IdP will return something similar to this:
<AttributeStatement>
    <Attribute Name="urn:oid:2.5.4.42" FriendlyName="givenName" NameFormat="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:attrname-format:uri">
        <AttributeValue>Dave</AttributeValue>
    </Attribute>
</AttributeStatement>

The formal name of the attribute is urn:oid:2.5.4.42 but it also has a human readable name which is 'givenName'. The FriendlyName is only for user interface things like showing the user what attributes have been released. The SP should use the formal name (urn:oid ...) to make authorisation decisions etc.
You can see what a FriendlyName is likely to be from the eduPerson spec which also gives you the SAML2 Name for the attribute.
The IdP will release what you ask it to release, subject to data laws etc and you need to show you need that attribute to provide a service to the IdP's users. The IdP will obtain the mail attribute from its store, e.g. Active Directory and send it to you in an AttributeStatement, subject to the profile in use, in this case SAML2 WBSSO which requires urn:oid Name and FriendlyName. You shouldn't rely on FriendlyName for authorisation but should use the SAML2 Name instead. FriendlyName is only to show to users if they want to know which attributes have been released by their IdP.
You can see examples of RequestedAttribute here.

The most common question people ask when they hear about casino parties is, "Is this legal?" The answer is YES. While each state in which we operate has varying regulations for private and corporate functions, it is legal as long as you do not play with cash or for cash prizes. For fundraisers, special permits are usually required, except in Pennsylvania.
What makes it legal is that in spite of the appearance of a casino, there is no actual gambling going on. It's all make-believe, pretend, fantasy gambling. You can bet as much as you want, lose as much as you want and win as much as you want, and you walk away with the same amount of money you started with. That's because only play money in the form of chips is used, that has no real monetary value. And even though most people will play the games just for the fun of playing (or the education and experience they can gain), it makes the whole event more exciting if there is something to shoot for, a reward for being "number one." That's why for most casino parties, the host provides one or more non-cash prizes for the guests that earn the highest winnings (or chips) by the end of the event. Prizes can be elaborate, such as electronic gifts, or as simple as a free lunch at a local restaurant. The just cannot be a cash prize. If you are using gift cards, retail stores, services, and restaurants are acceptable but American Express or Visa gift cards for a cash value are not.
Unlike regular casinos, guests can be any age to play. but parent discretion/supervision is encouraged with minors.
The term "Casino Party" is used to describe an event, where people come together to play games commonly found in casinos in Las Vegas or Atlantic City, but do not actually wager money or other things of value. A casino party may be held as a fund-raising activity for a non-profit organization, or it may be a private celebration held by an individual, group or employer. The major difference between the two is that those who attend a fund-raising casino party are usually asked to make a donation for admission to the event, whereas those who attend a private casino party are usually simply invited to come and have fun. At either event, guests arrive to find a variety of casino games available for their amusement. Guests are usually given a fixed amount of play money in the form of a table pass. Guests then take their table pass to their favorite game table in exchange for chips and try to win as much as they can during the course of the evening. At the end of the evening, the guests turn in their chips for raffle tickets. Prizes can be raffled off or an auction can be held and guests can bid on prizes with their raffle tickets.
When choosing prizes for your event finding the right product for your guests can be a challenge. Consider the following criteria when picking your prizes: the item should be of high quality so that it reflects positively on your event; it should be something that the majority of your guest would want; its brand name should be recognizable in a positive way.
Gift cards can make great prizes. You could offer restaurant gift cards, specialty retail stores cards, and the like. If you have a small dollar budget, things like movie passes, lottery tickets, baskets of cheer and car washes can make good prizes. Just remember that cash prizes are not permitted and this includes American Express and Visa gift cards for cash values. Please note we do not supply prizes for your event and leave selection entirely up to you.
We include 4 hours of playing time in our standard fee for equipment and dealers. We do not charge you for set up or take down time. Four hours of casino time is usually more than adequate, especially if your event has other activities. We will work with you to determine the best schedule for the casino portion of your event. Additional time is available but there is an additional charge beyond our standard package fees. For poker tournaments, there is no time limit. We play until the tournament has reached its conclusion with a winner.
The number of gaming tables needed will depend on the number of guests in attendance and whether the casino will be the exclusive entertainment for the evening. If you are having other forms of entertainment, it is safe to calculate that about 50% of your total guests will be playing at any given time. So if you have 100 guests, you will need to select enough games to accommodate 50 guests at any given time. If the casino is the exclusive form of entertainment at your event, we suggest calculating at 75% of your total attendance. Blackjack will accommodate 7 guests, Poker – 9 guests, Craps – 15 to 20 guests, Single Roulette – 7 guests and Double Roulette – 14 guests, Big Six Wheel – 10 guests, and Slot Machines – 6 guests.
All of our dealers have been professionally trained. Most of them also have worked professional casinos in Atlantic City as well as Las Vegas. More importantly, they are "people friendly" and more than happy to take the time to instruct your guests, who may be new to a casino game. They are there to ensure that everyone has a great time!
We pay our dealers very well and significantly above the industry standard. Tipping our dealers is neither required or expected.
We will work with you and the venue to determine the best time to set up. Usually, we deliver and set up well before the start of your event, 2-3 hours ahead, so it's all ready when your guests arrive. We remove our equipment when your event is over. We will confirm our arrival and delivery times with you the week of the event.
Can we just rent your equipment without any dealers, etc?
Sorry, we do not rent our equipment. Unlike our competitors, who offer this service, we do not in order to maintain a high standard for the appearance of our equipment. Our staff always comes with our equipment. You may, however, have your own staff work alongside our dealers at functions. For example, in one corporate networking party, the company had each division Vice President act as a dealer at our blackjack tables. We assigned one of our dealers to help train their staff and oversee the operation, helping when needed.
We are based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Cherry Hill, New Jersey. We will service Eastern Pennsylvania, all of New Jersey, Delaware and New York City. We also provide service in the Chicago area through a reciprocal agreement.


The 5-minute video, produced at U.S. taxpayer expense, according to the film credits, paints a rosy picture of the facility.
The video begins with children painting on pieces of cardboard with bright colors, then pans to artwork on the walls before zooming in on a piece of notebook paper with a math lesson.
The images show kids living in an institutional setting, with beige buildings and metal bunk beds lined up like in a barrack.
The video covered the basics: food, education, sports, and kids getting checkups.
The timing of the video came amid the growing outcry over President Donald Trump's decision to separate immigrant children from their parents, who, since April, have been arrested and prosecuted after trying to cross the border illegally. Over the past few days, Pope Francis, Republican leaders and two-thirds of Americans, according to the latest polls, had vociferously denounced Trump's zero-tolerance policy.
Since the policy began, more than 2,000 children have been separated from their parents and are being housed in detention facilities for children being run by HHS.
Before this policy, immigrant families, especially those seeking asylum, would come to the United States and typically would be allowed to stay while their immigration claims were processed.
On Wednesday, Trump signed an executive order that called for keeping families together. The order did not, however, address families who have already been separated.
Nelson said Thursday Trump's order does not do enough to solve the problem.
"Pres. Trump's order does nothing to help the 2,300 kids already separated from their families. I am heading back to Homestead, FL Saturday to check on 94 kids there who were separated from their parents to find out exactly what's being done to reunite them with their families," he tweeted Thursday morning.
Nelson and Wasserman Schultz will get a tour of the Homestead facility at 1 p.m. Saturday.
Americans deserve to know how these kids are being treated - and what the Trump Administration is doing to reunify them with their parents.

Musings concerning economics, politics, resources and the future of our world
The Good Life: A Radical Notion?
Posted on November 1, 2012 by amilton
Included in the readings of the Land and Food Systems 250 course that the faculty has all second years take is a paper called "Buen Vivir: Today's Tomorrow", written by Eduardo Gudynas. The central purpose of this paper is to use the indigenous traditions of living a whole and fulfilling life in the context of the wider community, which includes the people, their livelihoods and farms, their religious, ethnic and cultural traditions, their past and hopes for the future, and nature. This idea is called suma qamaña by the Aymara people of Bolivia, Chile and Peru; ñandereko and qhapaj ñan by the Gurani of Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil and Bolivia. It has many different names and connotations, as befits a principle which can only be manifested in unique communities. Gudynas terms it, simply, buen vivir.
Promoted in the paper as an alternative to the Western development model, the principle has indeed made its way into several constitutions, among them Ecuador and Bolivia. In Ecuador, this has been manifested in the form of several different rights, very much in the western tradition, which recognize the rights of nature, among other things. In Bolivia, it is viewed more as an integral principle on which the rights described in the constitution are based. This again is in line with the fact that its interpretations by different indigenous groups in the two countries impacted how it was implemented into the foundations of the State.
The community in which the good life is taken as a value no longer can adhere to the dominant political and economic model of development as the sole goal of the modernizing country. Rather, development must be taken in a framework in which its purpose is to better an economy meeting the real needs of the community, the needs of people who find value and fulfillment in their communities, through personal relationships with kin, society and their natural lands and surroundings. This is especially important for the vast numbers of landless and small farmers, peasants, rural dwellers indigenous groups and "urban tribes", that make up a large section of the countries of the global South. That said, it may well be equipped to solve the reported problems of alienation, personal and cultural, experienced by many who want to "make it big" in the cities, and those who, having acquired wealth, wish to give back to their communities.
Those of us in LFS are lucky enough to be at a nexus of activity in Vancouver and the lower mainland, to build sustainable economic and ecological structures and reimagining the community. Given that the city is indeed a very useful combination of locality and community on the one hand, and yet a political entity on the other, we would do well (especially those of us living in the Vancouver area) to become involved in our communities, not simply as part of volunteer work or to put on a resume, but to create a personal connection between ourselves, our home and our communities. The UBC Farm, for example, is a nexus for such communities, which create a new space in which that entity we call Vancouver, the people and land as much as the skyscrapers and city hall, can manifest and develop in new and different ways. The towns (such as Maple Ridge, in which I live) that make up the GVRD can and are evolving similar programs as well.
This shift in values to create an economy which fulfills the needs of the community, rather than communities which can add efficiency to a development scheme which they did not conceive of or vote for, is highly evident in the case of the ancient Greek city of Sparta. Lycurgus, the legendary lawgiver who created the warrior State for which it is so famous, believed that wealth created degeneracy, both mental and physical, in those who acquired it. Lying on their fancy couches, growing fat in the dark with fancy food, such people were useless for developing the ethos he believed essential for the survival of the city. When Sparta allowed him to make its laws, he replaced its gold currency with one of iron, worthless outside Sparta and which had to be carried in carts, similar to the situation in late Weimar Germany. Lycurgus, however, believed this extreme devaluation in Sparta's money to be a good thing, as no one could acquire any great amount of wealth, and those who did were not respected for it. Thus, Sparta's citizens had to dedicate themselves to their training, developing bonds with their kinsmen and serving the Spartan state in order to prove themselves to their fellows. As time went on, Sparta became renowned for its hand-crafted everyday items, as well as producing men of cultural achievement. But their primary worth for Spartan society lay in their role as warriors. Thus, in order to meet the needs of that society, Lycurgus not only rejected the development of the day, but did what he could to minimize it to bare essentials.
Probably not something to bring to the Economist anytime soon.
2 thoughts on "The Good Life: A Radical Notion?"
Matthew Kyriakides says:
Good post, Ash, though I have some problems with your appraisal of Lycurgus. His laws and customs for the Spartan community were only made possible through the abuse of the "lower caste" helots – while the Spartan concept of value was not economic and geared more towards ethical and physical conduct, they were in effect a powerful economic state with vast influence and range. My question lies more in the possibility of such conduct without slavery or power dynamics of any kind, for communities like the displaced peasants you mentioned.
Also, to what extent do you think enshrining the rights of the land and nature in the constitution would work in Canada? I feel Vancouver is undergoing some fairly radical changes but the national scope leaves me pessimistic, especially as deals like FIPA are being passed right under our noses. Cooperation, rather than competition, is the direction we must take – how possible this is, I do not know.
I look forward to reading more of your articles.
amilton says:
Thanks for the comment. I made the point about Sparta to show how radically an economy which serves a system of values instead of the other way around can differ from the development economy we take for granted as the standard. It's true that this was only possible based on the helot system, but then their ways, their time, and their world weren't ours. We are living at a time when the social damage done by disenfranchised slave classes has become clear and deploring them is part of our value system. Thus the economy we develop would incorporate these values, and we should try to make sure that unfair power dynamics are eliminated. I would say that, getting away from questions of rights and morals, we can just as well show that unfair power concentrations are antithetical to sustainable, enduring, united societies in which the members can develop and reach their potential.
I think that Gramsci was right when he said that the cultural shift must come before politics. It is necessary to change the culture, and to change the fundamental assumptions on which people operate before political change can be achieved. Vancouver is a city where this is happening. A counterculture, where principles manifest in career choices, aesthetics, communities, art, areas of scientific and economic study, and even consumer products, needs to spread and displace its parent, becoming the culture. I would say in a place like Vancouver it is also necessary for the different cultures and ethnic groups to develop and maintain a healthy sense of identity (including Canadians of European origin – perhaps for a future post) in order to be able to have a dialogue in which the values of smaller communities can create those of the wider, more all-encompassing community. We must strive to become a model for Canada and North America as a whole.

Q: Reading ESRI Geodatabase Metadata with QGIS I have used the ArcMap tool to create a geodatabase in an Postgres/PostGIS database and have loaded a feature class and an XML file that contains metadata for the feature class into the geodatabase using FME. Now when I right-click the feature class in the Catalog window of ArcMap, I can see the metadata.
It would be great if I could also see that metadata in QGIS. However, when I try to load it into the QGIS canvas it doesn't even show as a spatial table. I know it is a spatial table because I can load it into ArcMap. Is there any way that I can put this table on the map and also view its metadata in a similar way to ArcMap? I have used the Metatools plugin, but that is only for shapefiles.

A: I discovered the plugin "MapSearchCatalogueClient" - the documentation looks like what you'd expect the QGIS catalog browser to look like. I went to my plugins and it was already installed, so I updated it. Unfortunately I don't have a "MetaSearch" icon or menu item under "Web" - as was foretold in the "Startup" section of the docs.
Here is the link to them:
https://docs.qgis.org/2.6/en/docs/user_manual/plugins/plugins_metasearch.html


500 sheltered and secure pontoon berths.
Gasoil (red diesel - not for road use) and unleaded petrol available on the fuel pontoon.

The Conwy Morfa public slipway is adjacent to the marina.
The marina is linked to Conwy's new harbour quay and town by the delightful 'marine walk'.


Ethereal. She was like a butterfly, so angelic. I could not be more pleased!! What an amazing performance!
Perfect, as always. Just needed to be given a longer slot for a longer set.
Absolutely wonderful, one of the best performances I've seen to date. I will definitely see her again in concert!
The concert was amazing. Her and the musicians put on a great show. Her opening act Mayaeni was also great.

Superhero News: Sony's Morbius Trailer is Here!
If you're anything like us, you want to watch every Marvel movie that comes out. Okay, so most people are just excited for the Avengers, Black Panther, or Spider-man, but we (I, really) are probably most excited for the weird and obscure characters.

This year we will be getting Black Widow, The Eternals, The New Mutants, and — weirdest of all — Morbius. We don't expect anyone except the most comic literate fans to recognize that name. But all the more reason to share that the trailer for this little-known film is out!
Morbius is one of the lesser known Spider-man characters. And technically he's a living vampire. He was just your average, ordinary, brilliant scientist with a blood disorder until he experimented on himself and turned himself into a vampire. Spider-man tries to help Morbius with his condition and even goes to him for help when he is transformed into a giant spider.

And this morning we got our first trailer from Sony that shows Jared Leto and his transformation into a creature that stalks the night. Check out the new trailer below.
We don't know for sure if Morbius will be taking place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe like the Spider-man movies, but there have been some hints that it might be. The cameo at the end of the trailer is a pretty big hint, and fans are clinging to it.

We can't wait to see Morbius and hope that he can find his way into the MCU. We'd love to see him lead the Legion of Monsters.
What other Spider-man characters do you want to see get their own movie? Let us know in the comments.

TwoBits says:
I suspect there will be a very loose tie-in to the MCU as there is a poster of Spiderman in the background with "murderer" painted across it referencing the accusation made in "Spiderman: Far From Home". The first "Deadpool" movie did this by having the finale scene take place on a wrecked helicarrier, thus referencing the ending of "Captain America: The Winter Soldier'.

He's one of the most energetic, enigmatic, entertaining and beloved performers in Americana circles, and now David Mayfield has allowed fans to be a part of his highly anticipated sophomore album via KickStarter. Good Man Down is due for release in October, and is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut, David Mayfield Parade (January 2011).
Mayfield, who has toured pretty much nonstop—since the release of his debut, including stints with his sister, Jessica Lea Mayfield, good friends The Avett Brothers, and Mumford & Sons, has had the opportunity to gauge fan interest in his new material, but he is also excited to have had the time to develop the songs.
"I feel like this record is more mature than the first," he said. "I made the first one without any real clear vision, and was just recording songs at random. Now that I've been touring so much I have had the chance to try new songs live and see how they are accepted, and to construct an album that is more of a cohesive thought."
The album was recorded at two Nashville institutions—RCA Studio B, which has produced 35,000 songs (including 200 by Elvis Presley) and over a thousand American hits and 40 platinum singles; and The Quonset Hut, where Patsy Cline, George Jones, Bob Dylan and Loretta Lynn have all recorded some of their biggest hits. "What a crazy cool experience to work on my songs in a place with such a rich musical history," said Mayfield.
As for the KickStarter campaign, in exchange for contributing to the project, fans will receive items such as exclusive t-shirts and posters from Crackerfarm; having a caricature drawn on the album artwork alongside Mayfield; a private house concert; or the top rung on the ladder—Mayfield producing an album for that person. Mayfield wants this to be a project in which his fans can truly feel like they are a part of.
"I feel like I owe it to the folks out there that support me by coming to shows and buying merch to make the best album I can, not just for myself but for all of us," he said. "Because it really doesn't belong to me anymore. There is a community forming and I feel indebted to them, in a good way. It's really gratifying and terrifying at the same time!"
The release of Good Man Down will cap off what has been a wild 18-plus months, with Mayfield having had the opportunity to open for Willie Nelson, and to perform at Bonnaroo and on the Communion Tour with Mumford & Sons. He even took part in something he's wanted to do for a long time—crowd surfing, which he did recently in New Jersey. "It might not sound that cool," he said. "But remember, I'm a big guy."
David Mayfield, known to be a force of nature on stage with boundless energy and enthusiasm for performing, also has a sincerity that is reflected in every performance. There is no posturing, no facade, nothing but great songs and the instruments to play them. His ability to connect with audiences from performances at MerleFest, NPR's Mountain Stage, The Grand Ole Opry, NX35, The Great Northwest Tour, and Vanderbilt's Rites of Spring has earned him the reputation of being the kind of extraordinary artist who goes beyond trend and simply delivers genuinely essential music—and much of that stems from Mayfield's roots. Along with video premieres on Paste and American Songwriter, Mayfield was selected by Southwest Spirit Magazine as one of its 40 Artist to Watch in 2011.
While making his debut album, Mayfield drew inspiration from his musical heroes Buddy Holly, Harry Nilsson, and Randy Newman and the albums he grew up listening to, Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and Melanie's "Gather Me." His songs effortlessly venture from classic AM radio rock with lush string arrangements to unadorned alt-country ballads whose lovelorn subjects evoke the outlaw songs of the early 70's. His music reflects the numerous influences that come from a lifetime of being immersed in American music and channeling its unique forms with sincerity and celebration, from the howl of early rock-n-roll, to the low lonesome twang of folk and country, with a voice that is all at once heartbreaking and inherently hopeful.

It's my birthday in 3 days and I don't know why, but, I always feel a little anxious every year on this day about my future plans. So, I decided to write this short, open letter. I hope this helps you too.
Have you ever felt yourself really freaking out about the future?
I remind myself often that new beginnings are the space in which the magic lives. When we don't know exactly how things will unfold when there's nothing but a clean slate and a fresh start and a world of possibility ahead.
And I'm always nostalgic for these times once they pass. But in the thick of it, I find myself leaning into anxiety.
I long for the unknown, and I think that's because there's a passion for risk and uncertainty in my DNA (I did choose the path of entrepreneurship, after all). It's exciting. But there's also an inherent need to "make it happen" and a belief that I can and will have what I want if I get it right.
The anxiety begins to build when I believe I may get it wrong.
But at the core, I know this is untrue. I know something bigger is at play. I know the universe is connecting dots and making arrangements in my best interest, even if I don't agree with the way it looks in my current reality.
I know this is true for all of us.
If you're attempting to strike the delicate balance between hustle and flow, just know that you simply cannot screw it up. No matter how many personal development books we read, no matter how many instructions we inhale, we simply cannot screw it up. There is no wrong way to be you, and each step along your path is perfectly orchestrated for YOUR story.
And someday, when it all works out in your favor (because it always does), know that you'll look back at these uncertain times and call them magic.
" Today I choose to show up as the best "Me" possible.
The Me with a heart full of hope.
The Me that expresses herself proudly.
The Me that meets others with kindness and love.
because her strength paves the way for all her choices.
The Me that knows it will be okay.
Happy balated Birthday dear, Nice post and nice drawing dear.
Love the 'Morning Words' btw.
Birthdays are nothing to worry about. They're just days that should be happy like any other.
I feel the same way within a few days to a week before my birthday year. I think it's from wanting to know that you're moving forward, making a difference, and becoming the best version of you. At least, that's more or less why I get anxious just before my birthday each year. It seems to be a time of inward reflection.
Happy birthday! 🙂 ❤ I hope your special day is amazing and the year ahead brings much happiness!
Focusing on becoming the best version of you – I think that's it. Thanks for sharing your words.
It's actually tomorrow, 1st October.
Wishing you well and best for your birthday.
Happy Birthday! How long does it take you to draw?
About 2 hours. More or less.
Happy Birthday! I love your drawing!!
Happy Birthday!! I love your drawing!!
I hope it helps you too. Whenever I feel down I read them and remind myself of how far I've come instead of all the doubts and fears.
Happy Birthday! All the best to you in the coming year.
Love the Morning Words – beautifully said. Thanks for a thoughtful post, and thank you for taking the time to visit our blog!
So beautiful. And happy birthday!
Happy Birthday young lady. How old now? My friend is getting married (she lives in India) in February. My wife and I hope to attend her wedding. Indian weddings seem to be a huge event! Are you still single? What is your experience with Indian weddings?
Hope you had a good birthday, and this year will be a great one for. I take my birthday, as my new year, giving praise that I have one more year to create great things. So is a very uplifting time. I thank to many look at birthdays as getting older, I celebrate this, and see if i can have as good a year as the last. Best wishes and blessings, Charles.
Hi Ayshwarya, sorry it seems that my reply seems to have gone missing! It is always a great pleasure to share words with others, as words are so special, as long as one is careful and thoughtful about how one uses them. Some choose onlyu to use them in hurtful and spiteful ways, but I think the world needs us all to use them in a loving and peaceful way; maybe even to bring a smile to people in our troubled world. Best wishes and blessings, Charles.

Well written inspirational blog post. I disagree that everything always turns out okay. I haven't found that to be true.Human effort, energy, and positive thinking eventually run out or fail because we are not God. Only our Creator God can make everything turn out right. Even though our plans fail, His never do. The Good News is that we can connect with Him through His son, the Lord Jesus Christ. When we accept His invitation to life in Him, we can be sure we're on the best path into our future.
"I remind myself often that new beginnings are the space in which the magic lives" This is so powerful and deep for me, It is actually eye opening and just renewed my courage in taking up a new assignment in my life. Thank you for sharing this! Happiest birthday to you and cheers to new beginnings in your new year!!
