What Trade Shows Should Do Now – Part 1: Prepare for a Comeback
While I wish I had a crystal ball and could give you a precise timeline for when the trade show industry will be up and running again, I'm afraid that's not possible.
But what I can tell you is that whether it's this summer, fall or not until 2021, we will begin gathering in convention centers across the country and around the world.
And when we do, people will likely be both excited and nervous about doing so.
The pent-up desire for face-to-face gatherings is already gaining steam everywhere.
And as one economist put it, as soon as society starts moving again, so will the money. People are anxious to begin spending again. Money is like water – it needs to flow. Even the terms we use to discuss money – cash flow and currency – are water analogies.
What's happened in the past few weeks is that dams have been built all over the world that stopped the flow. But there's no less cash on the planet than there was before the virus. We simply need to get it moving again, and that's where trade shows can step in and create a waterfall of spending.
But we definitely need to be smart and safe about doing so. Simply opening with everything set up like it used to be won't work. We must adapt and evolve. We must re-imagine what events will look like and how to best meet the needs of our audience.
So this is the first of a 3-part series on Trade Show Insights to help you do the right things now to be prepared for the future of trade shows. In Part 2, we'll look at how to keep the lines of communication open, and in Part 3, we'll discuss how to incorporate virtual elements.
But for today, our focus is on how to prepare for a trade show comeback.
Now in the short term, we may see smaller events with a major emphasis on safety and wellness. Then larger events will return a bit further down the road. Some show organizers may even find ways to take their show on the road by creating smaller, regional events instead of one massive show floor.
Some people may remain hesitant to travel for a while, which is understandable. The first events to open up may likely see more regional, drive-in attendees rather than those flying in from across the country or around the world.
We must find ways to collaborate, even if it's with those formerly considered competitors. How can we all work together to find solutions and provide clarity amid the chaos?
As we all begin to find our way through to post-lockdown trade shows and events, here are just a few of the questions that need to be addressed (as we discussed during this week's Virtual Lunch – here's a link to the replay).
What will registration look like? No one will want to walk up to a kiosk and check themselves in on a keypad that everyone else has touched. But on the other hand, they won't be too excited about standing in the back-and-forth lines waiting for their turn at the reg desk either.
And what about health screenings? Will there be mandatory testing before people are even allowed into the venue?
Safety & sanitization
Both event organizers and attendees will want some kind of reassurance about the level of cleaning that takes place on a daily basis at convention centers and hotels.
Will PPE become a common part of what you get when you check in? (Maybe an opportunity for sponsorship …)
What about elevators and escalators? How long will it be before we're ready to share a ride up to the 27th floor of a hotel?
Trade show floor
Will aisles need to be wider to allow for traffic flow? Or should they be made one-way-only, like some grocery stores are doing? What about buffer zones between booths?
Will there be limits on the number of people who are allowed into the show at any one time? This could mean staggered show hours so only certain people would be allowed to enter at various times.
What about in-booth sampling at food shows?
Sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in keynote sessions is likely a thing of the past for quite some time.
What about breakouts? Will a room formerly set for 50-60 people classroom style now only accommodate 15-20?
Handshakes will probably not be popular again for a while. Even the idea of gathering in close quarters while nibbling on finger foods may give some the heebie-jeebies.
Will buffets (a staple of events) be a thing of the past? Are box lunches now the only option?
These are just the beginning of the questions that need to be answered before anyone can even think of hosting a large gathering!
And what I hope at this point is that our industry leaders and associations step up to craft universal guidelines (similar to the IAEE Guidelines for Display Rules and Regulations) before some government agency decides to tell us what's best.
So what do you see as the crucial issues that must be addressed before trade shows reopen? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Events Heritage Centre Open Day
VAUXHALL CELEBRATES 25 YEARS OF HERITAGE CENTRE AT UPCOMING OPEN DAY
June date set for Luton-based open day
World's largest Vauxhall collection on display to public
Free admission for all!
Luton – On Sunday, June 10 Vauxhall Motors will open the doors to its world-renowned Heritage Centre in Luton, which this year celebrates its first quarter-century.
Housing a collection of 75 vehicles, spanning the company's entire 115-year history, Vauxhall Heritage Centre is welcoming families and enthusiasts to its Park Street base to see everything from the first Vauxhall model – a 5hp, single-cylinder, chain-driven 'horeseless carriage' – to the very latest 600hp VXR8 GTS-R.
Sitting between these book-end cars will be a few others with significant anniversaries. The 1918 D-type Staff Car helped mobilise the British Army during WW1, as we mark a century since the Allied victory and end of hostilities. It's also been 70 years since Vauxhall stopped building Churchill tanks for WW2 and recommenced car production at Luton, and our L-Type Wyvern tells this story perfectly.
There are many other anniversaries, too – 35 years since the first Astra GTE, 55 years since the first Viva, 40 years since the first Chevette HS – but arguably the most important is Vauxhall's best-selling Corsa, which this year turns 25. Expect to see all four generations outside the Centre on the day.
Of course, there's more to the collection than just production cars. The XVR and SRV concepts showcase Vauxhall's industry-leading design capability in the Sixties and Seventies, while the VX Lightning shows how this could have continued into the 21st century. There will also be a nod to Bedford, with vehicles ranging from the 1930 2-ton truck, to the CA and CF panel vans.
The breadth and quality of Vauxhall's Heritage Collection is unique, with most cars roadworthy and maintained by Senior Restorer, Andy Boddy and Terry Forder. A majority of the vehicles were also built just around the corner from the Heritage Centre, at the famous Kimpton Road plant.
Vauxhall's Heritage Centre Open Day will run from 10am to 4pm. Refreshments will be available throughout the day, and parking is free. As in previous years, the day coincides with Luton Festival of Transport, nearby, and we are currently looking into bus transfers between the two events. The Heritage Centre is situated behind Vauxhall's Head Office on Park Street, Luton LU1 3HG.

It's no secret that women are quite often poorly represented in cinema, especially big budgeted summer blockbusters. If you look at the last five summers, most years feature an embarrassing 1 to 2 major movies in which women have prominent roles. Even when a woman is featured, she is often sexualized, one-dimensional, or in a supporting role (mother, daughter, girlfriend) to the main male protagonist.

Only Career Politicians Need Apply!?
This week prominent pediatric neurosurgeon Ben Carson and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina threw their hats in the proverbial ring as candidates for president of the United States.
No sooner had they made those announcements than many pundits in the media began tossing those hats back out by proclaiming that both Carson and Fiorina lack the experience, money, and organization to mount a serious presidential campaign.
All this begs a simple question.
Do you have to be a career politician or a member of the political class as Dr. Carson describes it to be a candidate for president?
If you do then perhaps that explains a lot about the state of our nation today.
Over the years, I've worked in many political realms. Given my political involvement, I've seen many people (some quite wonderful—don't get me wrong) who've risen through the political system to really impressive positions both elected and appointed. Do I think that qualifies them or makes them more likely to do a great job running the government than a doctor or a neurosurgeon?
Let me give a generic example. Before I begin, let me categorically state that under no circumstances am I pointing to any of my friends or former colleagues when I lay out this example. It's fairly universal. In fact, open up the latest copy of Politics in America and you'll see the following scenario described in biographies on nearly every single page.
Here goes.
John Smith is an idealistic and enthusiastic member of his College Republicans/Democrats organization. While in college seeking his Liberal Arts degree, John volunteers on several local political campaigns including a gubernatorial race. Lucky for John, his candidate wins. Afterwards, John is offered and takes a job working for the governor as a member of his staff. John does this and later, while still in his twenties, he sees that there is an open primary for a county position in his area. He decides to run and wins. Not long afterwards, John's State Assemblyman/Representative retires and John seeks and wins that position as well. When he's in his late thirties or forties, either the timing or political opportunity arises for John to run for a position as the United States Congressman in his district, State Senator, or perhaps even a lower statewide office. Later, in his early forties, John runs for Governor or United States Senator.
Throughout all of this, letters addressed to John always begin "Honorable" and he's revered as a statesman for his "long career of public service." In fact, if you carefully reviewed John's resume, this is his only career. Since graduating from college he's either never or rarely earned a paycheck that didn't come from one constituency and by extension taxpayer after another.
While an interesting record of "public service" it certainly begs the question as to why this resume is any better than that of a world renowned surgeon, writer, and philanthropist or corporate CEO. In fact, if you dig a little deeper and think about it, you might even laugh at the idea that this could even be possible.
Unfortunately, we currently have a system that well rewards the clever young college student who toils in the trenches of a political campaign but later scoffs at the bright mind that took a different path other than that of elected official for a period of time.
And while we may not like hearing how hard or difficult it is to defeat the career politician, it simply remains a fact that this is still the case.
How do I know this? Because we haven't done it yet.
That doesn't mean it can't or won't happen.
Ben Carson or Carly Fiorina may just change this pattern. If either of them does, it will certainly give pause to some of the young campaign workers out there currently hoping to follow in the footsteps of today's career politicians and eventually take up residency at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

First Ever Chair in Israeli Art Named
Anar Green
Gannit Ankori
Adding even more breadth to an art history program that already includes specialists in areas ranging from French impressionism and Islamic art to the age of Rubens and Rembrandt, and from medieval England to Chinese antiquities, the Department of Fine Arts has named its first-ever chair in Israeli art. The appointment of Gannit Ankori to the newly established position was announced last fall at the dedication of the Mandel Center for the Humanities, the new home of the Schusterman Center for Israel Studies.
Widely known for her expertise in Israeli and Palestinian art, Ankori served as a visiting professor at Brandeis prior to taking on her current role. Previously chair of the art history department at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, she has also been a visiting associate professor at Harvard University and at Tufts University's School of the Museum of Fine Arts. Her book "Palestinian Art," published by Reaktion Books in London and distributed in the United States by the University of Chicago Press, won the Polonsky Prize for Originality and Creativity in the Humanistic Disciplines.
Not restricting her scholarship to things Middle Eastern, Ankori has written and taught extensively on exile, trauma and gender-related issues. She is the author of numerous articles and two books on Mexican artist Frida Kahlo, including "Imaging Her Selves: Frida Kahlo's Poetics of Identity and Fragmentation" and a major catalog essay for Kahlo's Tate Modern retrospective in London. She has also curated a Kahlo exhibition for the Jewish Museum in New York.

Labelle was not so fortunate. He returned broken in spirit and morale, recalls his daughter Yvonne Poucette, 79. Her shoulders shook with grief last Sunday near the stone marker at the Chiniki cemetery where Labelle was buried with full PPCLI honours when he died at age 91 in 1989.
The final resting place for First World War sniper Tom Labelle of the Stoney First Nation is a remote one, on the edge of a drumlin at the Chiniki band cemetery 30 kilometres from Morley.
The Stoney Nation honours the memory of First World War sniper Tom Labelle. Photo submitted by Don Thomas.
But it's not a forgotten place, as seen last weekend when Stoney First Nations residents gathered to honour his memory on Remembrance Day.
Labelle volunteered for the Canadian army at age 17 by lying about his age. He was inducted into the 31st Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry where his shooting skill and ability to take out German machine gunners endeared him to the officers.
Exactly how many Germans he shot is unknown. Certainly, it wasn't as many as Corp. Francis (Peggy) Pegahmagabow, of the Shawanaga First Nation in northern Ontario — the war's best sniper, German or British — who is credited with killing 304 Germans and capturing another 300.
But Labelle's marksmanship may have saved the lives of hundreds of Canadian and British soldiers, since it led to German machine gunners being killed before they could slaughter Allied soldiers with their weapons.


What started as one man with a ute, a wheelbarrow and a vision, has become an award-winning construction company with a rich 20-year history.
Starting in Darwin in 1997, managing director Brett Dixon began with concreting driveways and paths. Before long he had completed a kerbing project at the Darwin International Airport and expanded his business into Asia.
Through his personable nature, unwillingness to compromise on quality and strong work-ethic, Brett has built Jaytex Constructions into a company defined by exceptional financial capacity, a good reputation for being fair, cooperative and flexible with contractual relations.
These days Jaytex Constructions is building key multimillion dollar infrastructure and is a leading Territory business and local employer. It's a legacy we take pride in.
The core company values – trust, integrity, transparency and family spirit, are the same now as when Brett established the business. This is testament to the culture of respect and dedication you'll find at Jaytex Constructions.
Jaytex has gone on to win several HIA awards and continues to go from strength to strength. With a business model built on transparency and integrity, Brett and our team have established a company that clients return to because they know our word and our work can be 100% trusted.


Days after closing the AT&T-Time Warner merger, AT&T is rolling out a newest video offering called WatchTV, available in the U.S.
You can stream through the WatchTV app or on select browsers at no additional cost with our two latest unlimited wireless plans. The plans - AT&T Unlimited &MoreSM and AT&T Unlimited &MoreSM Premium - are scheduled to launch next week.
WatchTV features 30+ live channels, will be compatible on virtually every current smartphone, tablet or web browser, and certain streaming devices. In addition to live programming, WatchTV includes over 15,000 TV shows and movies on demand.
WatchTV, which will be free for customers of the new wireless plans, will cost $15 per month as a standalone product. Customers who sign up for the higher-priced wireless plan can also get HBO for free.
With &More Premium, you'll also have the option to add one of several premium services for no extra charge. Premium services include HBO, Cinemax, SHOWTIME or STARZ as well as music streaming services like Amazon Music Unlimited and Pandora Premium.
In addition to that, you'll get 15GB of high-speed tethering, access to high definition video, and a $15 monthly credit toward DIRECTV, DIRECTV NOW or U-verse TV.
A federal judge earlier this month approved the merger of AT&T and Time Warner, handing AT&T a win after the U.S. Department of Justice sued to stop the deal, saying a merger would give AT&T unfair leverage over rival pay-TV providers.
WatchTV as a standalone product will compete with other low-cost video streaming options, including Dish Network's Sling TV, which costs $20 for the base package, and Philo, which costs $16.

Effects of chalcone derivatives on lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase activities of mouse epidermis
Teruo Nakadate, Eriko Aizu, Satoshi Yamamoto, Ryuichi Kato
The effects of chalcone derivatives on 12-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase of mouse epidermis were investigated. The chalcone derivatives which have 3,4-dihydroxycinnamoyl structure in the molecule, such as 3,4-dihydroxychalcone, 3,4,2′-trihydroxychalcone, 3,4,4′-trihydroxychalcone and 3,4,2′4′-tetrahydroxychalcone, potently inhibited epidermal 12-lipoxygenase activity. Although some of them also inhibited cyclooxygenase activity at relatively high concentrations, the inhibitory effects of these chalcone derivatives on 12-lipoxygenase were 10 times or more potent than their effects on cyclooxygenase. The chalcone derivatives which have cinnamoyl or 4-hydroxycinnamoyl structure, instead of 3,4-dihydroxycinnamoyl structure, in the molecule, showed little or no inhibitory effects on either 12-lipoxygenase or cyclooxygenase activities. The inhibitory effects of chalcone derivatives on 12-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase of mouse epidermis are dependent on the particular structure, i.e. 3,4-dihydroxycinnamoyl structure, of the chalcone derivatives.

Q: Import fixed width data file with no line separator I have fixed width data files (.dbf) that don't have line separators. Here is what two lines of that datafile looks like:
20141101 77h  3.210                                  0    3 20141102 76h  3.090                                  0    3

The widths of one line is c(8,4,7,41) for date (8), some time measure (4), the data point (7), and some other columns that i can summarize in one "rest" column (41). After one line there is no separator and the next line is just appended to the first line. All time steps are basically written consecutively in one massive line. There is exclusively numbers, characters and white space in this file.
With read.fwf('filepath', widths = c(8,4,7,41)) R stops reading after the first line due to lack of line separator.
Is there an argument to tell read.fwf() when to start reading the new line when there is no line separator? Or should i use a different read command?
Thanks in advance.

A: Maybe not the best idea but this should work:
content <- scan('filepath','character',sep='~') # Warning choose a sep not appearing in datas to get the whole file.
# Split content in lines:
lines <- regmatches(content,gregexpr('.{60}',content))[[1]]
x <- tempfile()
write(lines,x)
data <- read.fwf(x, widths = c(8,4,7,41))
unlink(x)

The idea is to read the whole file, get each occurence of 60 chars into a single entry, write this to a tempfile, and read the data from this tempfile before deleting the temporary file.
Another approach is doable with regexes and package stringr (still with content resulting from scan above):
library(stringr)
d <- data.frame( str_match_all( content, "(.{8})(.{4})(.{7})(.{41})")[[1]][,2:5], stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

which gives:
        V1   V2      V3                                        V4
1 20141101  77h   3.210                                   0    3
2 20141102  76h   3.090                                   0    3

str_match_all return a list, here with 1 element because there's only one line as input, so we remove it with [[1]].
Now the return is 5 columns, the first one being the full match, others being the capture groups so we subset the matrix on columns 2 to 5 to get only the 4 columns we need and wrap it in as.data.frame to get a data.frame at end.
you can then name the columns with colnames(d) <- c('date','time','data_point','rest')
If you wish to clean up the white spaces you can wrap the str_extract_all result in trimws (thanks to @jaap for the remind of this function) like this:
td <- data.frame( trimws( str_match_all( content, "(.{8})(.{4})(.{7})(.{41})")[[1]][,2:5] ), stringsAsFactors=FALSE)

Output:
        X1  X2    X3     X4
1 20141101 77h 3.210 0    3
2 20141102 76h 3.090 0    3

A: A different, and probably less elegant, solution with readLines, substr, trimws, separate (tidyr) and mutate_all (dplyr):
txt <- readLines('filepath')
dfx <- data.frame(V1 = sapply(seq(from=1, to=nchar(txt), by=60),
                              function(x) substr(txt, x, x+59)))

library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)
dfx %>%
  separate(V1, c(paste0("V",LETTERS[1:5])), c(8,12,19,55)) %>%
  mutate_all(trimws)

which gives:
        VA  VB    VC VD VE
1 20141101 77h 3.210  0  3
2 20141102 76h 3.090  0  3

To get different column names , just replace c(paste0("V",LETTERS[1:5]) with a vector of columnnames you want.
If you want to transform the columns into the correct classes instead of into character, you can use funs(ul = type.convert(trimws(.))) inside mutate_all.

A: In addition to the other answers, some general info about dbf files:
Unless this is a one time read of a static file, it would be best to check the file/fields structure first in case that changes over time. See here for the internal structure of a dbf file.
But maybe even more important:
Each record in a dbf file is preceded by one byte for the delete flag. If this is a space, the record is not deleted, if it's an asterisk * the record is marked for deletion (records are not removed from a dbf file until the file is packed), and you probably want to skip those records. The first part of the data could also be overwritten with "DELETED" for example.
So, in your record c(8,4,7,41), the last byte of the rest column (41) is actually the delete flag of the record that follows it - and the last record in the file will only have 40 bytes for that field (but if you're lucky, the file has an EOF marker (0x1a), so maybe you didn't have a problem with the size there).
Thus, your record should actually be: c(1,8,4,7,40), where the 1 is the delete flag, and starting one byte sooner.

Larry Rivers was born August 17, 1923 in Brooklyn, New York and died August 14, 2002, in Southampton, New York. He was an American painter whose works frequently combined the vigorous, painterly brushstrokes of Abstract Expressionism with the commercial images of the Pop art movement.
Rivers early developed an interest in jazz, and after briefly serving in the army during World War II he studied composition at the Juilliard School of Music. One of his classmates there was Miles Davis, who introduced him to other jazz musicians, and Rivers was soon touring the United States with different groups as a jazz saxophonist. In 1945, however, he was given a book on modern art and quickly discovered he had a natural talent for painting. From 1947 to 1948 he studied in the New York City and Provincetown, Massachusetts, school of the prominent Abstract Expressionist Hans Hofmann. Rivers later studied at New York University College, graduating in 1951. His early paintings were exhibited in New York City in 1949.
Rivers' works were characterized by competent draftsmanship, a fine sense of color, and the frequent use of complex, fragmentary, and multiple views. Beginning in 1961, commercial images, such as cigarette packages, figured prominently in his pictures, which, after 1963, frequently had elements of collage, construction, and sculpture. A particularly elaborate example of such mixed-media works was The History of the Russian Revolution: From Marx to Mayakovsky (1965), which had some 30 individual paintings and included, among other objects, a machine gun. His autobiography, What Did I Do? (co written with Arnold Weinstein), was published in 1992.

Disrupting National Service Policy: An Alternative for Ben Davis and Singapore
Editorial National Service Op-Ed Security
July 17, 2018 October 24, 2018 #featured
BY BRENDAN DEAN ZHI MIN
The recent and ongoing online furore over the Ministry of Defence's (MINDEF) rejection of Singaporean footballer Ben Davis's application for deferment of National Service (NS) came right as the 2018 FIFA World Cup reached a crescendo. The timing could hardly be worse for MINDEF or better for the Davis family and Ben Davis's dreams, by sparking a public outcry largely in their favour. We saw Iceland, an island nation with a population of less than 350,000 people, not just qualify for the World Cup but stand tall against such footballing giants as Argentina. We saw Croatia, a nation of 4.3 million, fight with grit all the way to the World Cup Final, and despite losing to France, lay claim to being the better team in the final match. Naturally, we in Singapore could not help but ask the usual questions about why our own national football team has such an abysmal record despite monetary support and Government efforts to strengthen our national team. If Iceland and Croatia can do it, why not Singapore, a nation of 5.6 million? Part of the answer, perhaps, is a lack of flexibility in our National Service policy for exceptional talents who might represent Singapore on the world stage.
Ben Davis, of course, is not (yet) Kylian Mbappé, the 19-year-old French superstar; nor does one man make a football team (as Lionel Messi and Argentina proved at this World Cup). Nonetheless, Davis's situation shines a spotlight on a perennial source of frustration for Singaporeans – and is one that, if resolved, could boost us on the world stage.
Taking A Leaf From The French System?
Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam, in his inspiring post about how the French achieved their victory at this World Cup, pointed to lessons we can take from France's win, writing that "… it shows what is possible when a leaf is taken from the French football system, and every young person is encouraged and supported in developing his or her strengths."
Sadly, right now, we follow this only when it comes to individual Olympic sports, and not team sports – let alone other talents like music. In an attempt to set principles rigidly and clearly so that people cannot escape NS, MINDEF requires that "[i]n sports, deferments are granted only to those who represent Singapore in international competitions like the Olympic Games and are potential medal winners for Singapore".
Unfortunately, these attempts to rigidly follow principle are self-defeating. When our supposedly set-in-stone, unbending principles are pitted against the real world and its complexities, it turns out these principles can only be applied selectively, and in a manner that can be unfair, myopic, and ultimately, to the detriment of Singapore's national interests.
In allowing some top athletes to defer NS, we have shown that we recognize the value of sporting success at the international level. Yet the tragedy of insisting on rigidly following clear principles means that almost no individual footballer would ever be considered good enough to meet MINDEF's requirement for NS deferment. After all, not even such an outstanding talent as Lionel Messi could power his Argentinian team beyond the Round of 16 in this World Cup. The same is true of any other team sport. When each talented athlete is necessarily rejected since they, alone, could not be good enough to make the cut, a strong squad can never begin to be built. The current criteria to allow NS deferment thus hinders our ability to succeed in team sports.
Some have argued that we are making a mountain out of a molehill: that Davis is no Messi or Mbappé; and that deferment for 2 years is hardly career-ending. Unfortunately, these arguments do not stand up to scrutiny. In arenas such as music or sport, missed opportunities may never return: Ben Davis will be unable to go to Fulham after NS if he gives up on this chance. How are we ever to know his full potential if he gives up crucial formative years of his career from 19 to 21 to serve in NS? If we do not let our talented youth go overseas to the biggest stages of the sport to develop their skill and get better in their prime, if we do not start with even just one player, where will we ever begin?
In these arenas where age can be critical and important opportunities are ephemeral and easily lost, it is important for us to introduce flexibility into the system. Not all careers fall into this category: accounting or scriptwriting, for example, can more easily be postponed or have replacement opportunities than grab-it-or-give-up chances like participating in the Asian Youth Orchestra or joining Fulham in the English Premier League (EPL). Furthermore, some activities like music and sport require years of diligent training before full flourishing can be achieved. When we demand assured excellence from the start, when we demand those with talent be obvious world-beaters by the age of 17, we prevent many potential greats from ever going out to make it big on the world stage. Like our NS deferment rules, our definitions of success are rigid, and hinder our ability to succeed. If we want to create an atmosphere that facilitates sporting and artistic talent, we must create a policy environment that allows such risk-taking.
Moreover, if we can let Public Service Commission (PSC) scholarship holders and doctors disrupt National Service, on the rationale that it allows them to better serve Singapore upon their return, maybe we can let one of the few Singaporeans who currently has a chance at being a world-class footballer do the same. Some argue that scholars and doctors are committed to service, whereas a footballer is only benefitting himself by pursuing his career. However, this ignores the fact that service can have many different dimensions. To say that we must choose only between soccer and service to the nation is a false dichotomy: achievement on the global stage in soccer can, itself, be a form of service to the nation, and we already recognize this by allowing other athletes to defer NS. The intangible gain of having athletes we can be proud of perform at the world stage, including in top leagues like the EPL, should not be dismissed lightly, especially when we compare this gain against the temporary loss of these talents from the ranks of the SAF, SPF, or SCDF. France, despite its serious social divisions, has been bound together by its team's success in this World Cup. Their football team has made a significant contribution to French unity and national pride.
The Policy Solution
Instead of clinging to past policy, we might resolve this issue by admitting that keeping our principles completely rigid is not always the right way to go: that with a bit of flexibility, it is possible to have heart, compassion, and let our young people flourish in their various arenas while also retaining the sanctity of NS policy. Of course, National Service must remain a crucial plank of service to Singapore: Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir's election and the resulting volatility in our ties with Malaysia show that the SAF is still needed as a strong deterrent to prevent our being pushed around.
Given that we already allow scholarship holders and doctors to disrupt their National Service, finishing at least Basic Military Training before going to pursue their studies, and then returning to complete NS, this disruption system can be expanded. An individual should be allowed to disrupt NS in cases of exceptional talent on the international stage in which the person represents Singapore, such as in individual or team sports, or in the arts, and in which fulfilling NS obligations during the typical period is likely to cause considerable performance decline or to otherwise hinder the person's potential in a way that cannot be made up for in the future. Disruption would have an age cap (28, 30, or 35 perhaps, depending on what the prime years in the field are) and/or if their career in that field has ended.
This represents a more extreme departure from the current policy than former Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) Nicholas Fang's proposed one of allowing Full-Time National Servicemen (NSFs) to pursue sporting development while serving NS, as elite athletes could in the past. Perhaps, one reason why this past policy was changed was manpower restrictions: our pool of conscripts continues to shrink. Yet the policy I have proposed would shrink the pool only in a negligible way, especially as we are already working to leverage technology to deal with the problem of reduced manpower. As an extreme example, if there were 90 men per year that disrupted NS under this scheme, this would only amount to removing approximately one infantry company from service. Furthermore, these disruptees would come back to Singapore later to serve, so the loss of manpower would ultimately balance out.
If scholarship holders and doctors, who also serve Singapore, are allowed to disrupt National Service, it is hard to imagine a good reason why a small group of select individuals, carefully assessed for both their proven abilities and their potential, should not be allowed to do the same, in the service of our national interest. In fact, disruption of NS imposes an obligation on these people to come back to Singapore, since the existing laws governing defaulting on NS obligations remain in place. Additional clauses could, perhaps, be added, by requiring the disruptees to sign a contract obligating them or sureties to pay a large monetary penalty if they do not return to Singapore to serve out their National Service, with the exact sum to be calculated based on their earnings, so even the richest footballers would find the fine painful. If anything, allowing the most talented Singaporeans to pursue their dreams means they are not forced into choosing between Singapore and their dreams, a choice which encourages them to take desperate measures such as fleeing Singapore and defaulting on NS.
In the end, a policy of flexibility and support for our most talented people can only ever help Singapore.

"The horses look good when they come back from AquaPacer rehabilitation. Most racehorses have injuries like bucked shins or are recovering from chips that have been surgically removed. These horses have been able to maintain a certain level of fitness in the AquaPacer, so we can get started up at the track a little sooner; but the main goal is to get back to best horse you can."
"I'm thoroughly impressed by Bruce's whole operation and his ideas on therapy. He guided me through it all and shared with me ideas on the best way for my horses to succeed. I'm an old racetrack guy, so it was all new to me. I never thought about shipping my horses to Fair Hill. But I get it. It's been a huge change in attitude for me."
"The facility gives me plenty of options. It might be for horses coming off a tough race that need a little help or those rehabbing off surgeries. All of the therapies enable horses to get back to work in a timely manner."
"The team of professionals at Fair Hill Equine Therapy Center make every visit a positive experience for our horses and clients. The horses are always handled exceptionally well, with safety first and foremost a priority. I have the utmost confidence in Bruce Jackson and his team and have been greatly encouraged by their professional handling of all situations. We have referred many clients to Fair Hill Equine Therapy Center and have received glowing reports from all."
"A top class facility that does an outstanding job"


A pretty easy and fun week last week that led up to another weekend in Dallas. Started the weekend with #NationalMargaritaDay and a copious amount of tortilla chips (I have zero restraint). A beautiful day Saturday catching up with friends getting to meet our Lo's baby girl. It's wild being the age where your friends start having babies, but it's incredibly fun too! Finished the weekend with the Oscars which in my opinion was one of the best in years. Having seen zero nominated movies, the show was entertaining and the pink moment was everything!
-My friends and I have officially started a book club and I can't wait for our first meeting. We've been talking about it for forever, but finally committed to getting together monthly to discuss our chosen book. First up, the book of the moment, Educated. Anyone else in a book club?
-The makings of my one of my favorite Defined Dish meals!
-Fun morning with work getting to prep, cook and serve at the Oklahoma City Homeless Alliance!
-Samoa Popcorn. It's a thing. Figure out how, here.
-No story behind this picture except that his corner of my room was just looking cozy and cute.
-When you work in hospitality marketing and national food holidays lead you to taking vibey drink pictures and mentioning margaritas about 100 times in one day.
-It's a crazy thing I tell you when your friends start having babies, but loved getting to meet sweet little Grace this weekend.
-A baby weekend kind of weekend apparently. Stole my little bestie for some on one aunt Annie and Elle time on Sunday.
-And the Oscar goes to… Samoa Popcorn of course!
Oscar bite: Pink for the win at the Oscars! My favorites were Gemma Chan and Julia Roberts!

Q: What dose it mean using [...parent.path !] . the? I go over the angular form module and I saw a syntax I don't recognize
[...parent.path !, name];
is it typescript syntax?
it can be found at this link which is angular github code.

A: As indicate here.

A new ! post-fix expression operator may be used to assert that its
  operand is non-null and non-undefined in contexts where the type
  checker is unable to conclude that fact. Specifically, the operation
  x! produces a value of the type of x with null and undefined excluded.
  Similar to type assertions of the forms <T>x and x as T, the !
  non-null assertion operator is simply removed in the emitted
  JavaScript code.

// Compiled with --strictNullChecks
function validateEntity(e?: Entity) {
    // Throw exception if e is null or invalid entity
}

function processEntity(e?: Entity) {
    validateEntity(e);
    let s = e!.name;  // Assert that e is non-null and access name
}

It indicates non-null value.

@rori0711 Oh, wasn't Hyde Jekyll Me a flop too? I want to watch Swindlers but I'm too jealous of Nana, and not because she gets to star in a movie with HB, but because she's too pretty lol.
Does anyone remember this deleted part from the last behind-the-scene video? Does anyone have any idea what he asked her? He obviously said something to her because she was, like, "Huh?" at him before she sat down.
@syahirannsyakirann If I'm not mistaken that's his debut drama.
Fatal Encounter was a flop? I actually think it was a decent movie. And wasn't it his first movie after his military service was over?
@rori0711 Oh oh, I will ask them for more stories from Granada or Hungary or Slovenia! Ask for a funny story, or ask Shinhye about that late-night walk she mentioned in one of the interviews with the foreign media Ask them if they want to work together again, and in what genre? Lol, so many questions!
Right???? @rori0711 Lol, I will definitely ask them something MotA-related. Do you want a season two? Are you satisfied with the ending?
@rori0711 Yes His singing wasn't perfect, but he has such a wonderful tone and he sang it with his heart, so I don't mind at all. Also, the lyrics basically describe the ending, with Heeju trying to look for Jinwoo who's disappearing, I cryyy! But it also pairs up nicely with the other song from the OST, I'm Here. So it's like Heeju asking where he is, and Jinwoo answering, "I'm here."
In Fatal Encounter they only shared 2 scenes together. And she played his evil stepmom. Ahhh so it isn't just me haha! Is that so, hmm? Haha. I thought that maybe he got emotional because it's his first FM in years.
HB singing Is You with SH/Heeju in the background Is it my hearing, or his pronunciation, or did he really change the lyrics to "My love is true"? He got teary-eyed in the end, or is it just me lol?

Q: My increment calculation does not work properly Ok so on a button press, my code is supposed to increment the mooring by one until it get's to five, after it get's to five, it has to increment the pier by one, and then the mooring by one until it get's to five and then  increase the pier by one and then so on.
But what it does at the moment is, it increments the pier, then the mooring to 5, but after i click the button for it to increment again (where it should increment the pier to two and the mooring back to one) it crashes.
This is my code
//Setting the max value for Piers and Moorings
        public const int maxPiers = 6;
        public const int maxMoorings = 30;
        private static bool[,] reserveMooring = new bool[maxPiers, maxMoorings];

[WebMethod]
        public BoatResponse ReserveMooring(BoatRequest req)
        {
            var res = new BoatResponse();

            //if mooringCalc set to 0, if smaller than maxMoorings increment
            for (int mooringCalc = 0; mooringCalc < maxMoorings; mooringCalc++)
            {
                //if pierCalc set to 0, if smaller than maxPiers increment
                for (int pierCalc = 0; pierCalc < maxMoorings / maxPiers; mooringCalc++)
                {

                    if (!reserveMooring[pierCalc, mooringCalc])
                    {
                        reserveMooring[pierCalc, mooringCalc] = true;
                        res.Pier = (Pier)pierCalc;
                        res.Mooring = (Mooring)mooringCalc;
                        return res;
                    }
                }
            }
            return null;
        }

the crash occurs here:
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            var req = new BoatRequest();
            req.Name = txtName.Text;
            var client = new BoatReserveSoapClient();
            BoatResponse response = client.ReserveMooring(req);//error is on this line

and this is the BoatResponse
namespace NewBoatBookingApp
{

    public enum Pier
    {
        one,
        two,
        three,
        four,
        five,
        six
    }

    public enum Mooring
    {
        one,
        two,
        three,
        four,
        five
    }

    public class BoatResponse
    {
        public Pier Pier;
        public Mooring Mooring;
    }
}

This is the error:
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: There was an error generating the XML document. ---> System.InvalidOperationException: Instance validation error: '6' is not a valid value for NewBoatBookingApp.Mooring.

A: Seems pretty clear - you're trying to assign a Mooring with a value of 6 when it only goes from 1 to 5.
It looks like your Piers and Moorings loops are backwards?
//if mooringCalc set to 0, if smaller than maxMoorings increment
for (int pierCalc = 0; pierCalc < maxPiers; pierCalc++)
{
    //if pierCalc set to 0, if smaller than maxPiers increment
    for (int mooringCalc = 0; mooringCalc < maxMoorings / maxPiers; mooringCalc++)

A: Your outer loop in your method has a condition
mooringCalc < maxMoorings

Where you have maxMoorings set to 30 and your enum has only 6 values. So when you do:
res.Mooring = (Mooring)mooringCalc; //here mooringCalc is 6

You get an exception for value 6 since the enum only has 5 items. Hence the error

'6' is not a valid value for NewBoatBookingApp.Mooring.

A: It looks as if you are approaching this in quite a complicated manner...
If I understand you correctly, you have 30 moorings, and they are located on piers 1 to 6.
Why do you not just treat your moorings as one continous set, find an empty one, and then calculate on which pier that one is?
//Setting the max value for Piers and Moorings
    public const int mooringsPerPier = 5;
    public const int maxMoorings = 30;
    private staticbool[] reserveMooring = new bool[maxMoorings];

[WebMethod]
    public BoatResponse ReserveMooring(BoatRequest req)
    {
        int mooring = Array.IndexOf(reserveMooring, false);
        if (mooring < 0)
        {
          return null;
        }
        reserveMooring[mooring] = true;
        return new BoatResponse()
        {
           Pier = (Pier)(int(mooring / mooringsPerPier)),
           Mooring = (Mooring)(int(mooring % mooringsperPier)
        };
    }

Just the same, i would lose the two enums the way you are using them here, unless they will get useful names later on :)
