Ministers in France decided it was time to pass a 'right to disconnect' law to free workers from their 'electronic leashes'. We need that in the US, too
In the sometimes-good old days, you could simply take your phone off the hook and actually shut out the world while you concentrated on your dinner, your book or your lover. Of course, you can unplug now as well, but if you work for a company where everyone else toils around the clock, it's tough to do. You might even risk damaging your career if you try. But fret not. There is now hope from across the seas.
The French have found a way to free workers from the tyranny of octopus-like bosses and co-workers who send their tentacles through space and into your bedroom or your porch. As of New Year's Day, they are protected by a new law establishing workers' "right to disconnect".

Wellington, March 21: Can Chis Gayle do a Brian Lara in today's match in the World Cup? New Zealand opener Martin Guptill on Saturday broke the dashing Caribbean opener's 215 scored against Zimbabwe in a group match at Canberra earlier in this edition to post the highest score of 237 not out.
World Cup Special; NZ vs WI scorecard; Semi-final schedule
Now can Chris Gayle break it again to regain his crown? The West Indies will need a super-human effort from 35-year-old Gayle if they hope to win the quarter-final match against the Kiwis. Boosted by Guptill's 163-ball-237, New Zealand set a massive target of 394 before the Caribbeans in the match.
Former West Indian batsman Brian Lara had achieved the feat of regaining his batting record in Tests in April 2004 when he broke the record of Australia's Matthew Hayden to become the highest scorer in Tests again. Hayden had scored 380 against Zimbabwe a year earlier at Perth to eclipse Lara's 375 not out scored against England at St John's in 1994. Lara had hit the 375 to better the record of his compatriot Sir Garry Sobers (365*).

European Union Might Lift Ban on South African Horses
- Mar 20, 2006
- Topics:
South African news outlets have reported the European Union (EU) could lift a ban it imposed on South African horses in 2004. According to an article in the March 16 online edition of The Citizen (www.citizen.co.za/index/article.aspx?pDesc=14496,1,22), Racing South Africa said the ban, which was enacted after an outbreak of African horse sickness (AHS) was detected in early 2004, could be lifted as early as the end of March. A Feb. 28 AHS outbreak in George (in the southeast region of the Western Cape) is not expected to affect the lifting of the ban, since the current cases are 400 km (almost 250 miles) from the nation's AHS-free zone, where equine exports to the EU would be permissible if the ban is lifted.
Peter Gibson, chief executive of Racing South Africa (a commercial company made up of racing operators, owners, and breeders) told the publication, "If the controlled area remains free of AHS by then, we are expecting the EU to lift the suspension."
African horse sickness is spread by Culicoides midges. Affected animals can show clinical signs ranging from pulmonary distress to heart failure, and the disease is usually fatal in horses. Owners outside the free area and its surrounding surveillance zone are encouraged to vaccinate their horses against the disease. Currently, AHS is contained to its namesake continent where nine serotypes of the disease circulate. (For more information on AHS, visit www.TheHorse.com/emag.aspx?id=5683.)
South Africa has an AHS-control zone that covers the Western Cape, with three sub zones--an AHS-free zone (the metropolitan area of Cape Town, which is at the southwestern tip of the country), a surveillance zone, and a protection zone. Cases in the surveillance zone change the status of the free-zone, so in February 2004, when AHS was detected in Elsenberg, which is in the surveillance zone about 40 km from the free zone, and vaccination was introduced in the surveillance zone to prevent spread of disease, the European Union banned movement of horses from South Africa.
Dr. James Kitching, deputy director of the Western Cape Department of Agriculture's veterinary laboratory, said the ban "has affected all of South Africa since all equine exports are (usually) through the AHS-free zone."
According to the World Organization for Animal Health, "A zone of a country may be considered free from AHS when the disease is notifiable in the whole country and when no clinical, serological (in non-vaccinated animals), or epidemiological evidence of AHS has been found in the zone during the past two years. Also, when no domestic horse or other equine has been vaccinated against the disease during the past 12 months."
If the ban were to be lifted, the free zone would be opened up for exports of horses to EU countries. "Protocols are in place for export only from the free zone," Kitching added, "Horses from other areas must comply with specified requirements regarding vaccinations, there must be no AHS cases within a specified distance and specified time, and the horses must stand in quarantine in the free zone in an insect-free facility."
Authorities sent a report in September 2004 explaining the extent of that year's outbreak's and the actions taken to contain it, and declaring its conclusion.
In early 2005, the EU Commission's Food and Veterinary Office carried out a veterinary inspection mission to evaluate the measures taken to control AHS in the surveillance zone and to prevent future introduction of the disease. It made specific recommendations for future prevention and control measures.
According to an EU spokesperson, the EU is prepared to consult with member states on resuming the importation of registered horses (those checked as disease-free) from South Africa's AHS-free zone. Its decision is subject to the timely submission of results from the above-mentioned recommendations.
Gibson told The Citizen that since the latest ban was imposed, more than 200 horses have been exported via Mauritius. "But the length of quarantine and cost of delivery cannot sustain South African exports," he said. "As a result of the high cost of delivery through this route, it is estimated that South African exporters lost some R20 million ($3.2 million) in this period."
If the EU ban is lifted, it would reduce the cost of shipping horses to Dubai by at least $12,000 per horse, the story said.

From what I could tell it flies pretty good for a toy-grade quad but doesn't seem to have any really sophisticated features other than FPV. I believe it sells for around $100. I've never heard of JXD. Is it a subsidiary of Yuneec?

It would be great, right? Having unlimited money, your own private jet, a collection of exotic or classic cars, multiple mansions, your own island, your own custom work schedule, a perfect life for your family, owning your own sports franchise, etc. sounds pretty good, doesn't it?
Being a billionaire seems like it is pretty hard to beat. Although I'm not one yet, I do like to study about how to think like a billionaire and make huge global impacts like they do.
You can learn a lot from these people and if you have the right work ethic and imagination, you could become a billionaire yourself. You could even make history and be remembered for centuries.
Of course, before any of these things can happen, you need to understand how these people think and act differently from the other 7 billion or so people on the planet.
When you think of people like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Bill Gates, you think about how many lives their companies have actually impacted.
If you want to come anywhere close to being a multimillionaire or billionaire, you need to understand that dreaming 10x bigger than everyone and impacting the masses is what you should strive for.
If you can find that sweet spot between what you are passionate about and what the world needs to be a better place, you can come up with an idea that could be truly extraordinary.
To find that sweet spot, ask yourself:
Peter Diamantis said it best:
"The best way to become a billionaire is to help a billion people."
Of course there are wealthy companies that make high end products for small target markets of people, like Lamborghini for instance, but that could be a tough way to go if you really want to make an impact on the entire world (which is what the top billionaires do).
Instead of doing something like making a slightly upgraded version of a product other companies have already come out with, the wealthiest people of the world tend to come up with what seems like a crazy idea no one has ever done and make it a reality.
When you just try and slightly upgrade a product or process for your business, you still have a lot of competition. When you come out with something never been done before that fills a need, there is very little competition.
Peter Diamantis started Human Longevity which is geared towards helping people increase their lifespan by 30 or 40 years.
He also is working on a company that will deal with Asteroid mining. How much competition do you think there is in Asteroid mining? Yeah, not very much.
Elon Musk founded Paypal, an easier way to pay for online purchases. He also founded Tesla, the car manufacturer that has revolutionized electric cars before they were hardly around.
Now, Teslas are going to be some of the first cars to drive themselves.
My point is, these people shoot for the moon with their ideas and figure out ways to impact the world with something that has never been done before.
As entrepreneurs, we are relied on to shoot for the moon with crazy ideas to improve the world, because we know that we are the only ones that can do so.
Entrepreneurs are the ones that have to be willing to come up with and experiment with crazy ideas and be willing to fail 99 out of 100 times because no one else can.
The government can't afford to try out crazy ideas and fail time after time to get it right because when they try something different and it fails, there is a congressional investigation.
In large corporations, they have to worry about their stock prices taking a big hit.
With the government and large corporations having their hands tied, it is up to the entrepreneurs to experiment and come up with the next greatest successes of the world.
Billionaires are just like you. They have the same amount of time each day that you do. They put their pants on one leg at a time like you do. They have flaws and failures like you do.
Billionaires are not from another planet or just born to be successful. The real difference between the wealthiest people on Earth and you is the way they think and do things on a daily basis.
If you can learn to start applying some of the same concepts to your life that they have, you will start to think and become more successful like them. But how do you do that?
A few things that separate billionaires from the rest:
"You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with."
– Jim Rohn
"You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with."
– Jim Rohn
I could go on all day about habits I've learned from how billionaires go through their days differently than the masses. The main thing you need to do is get your mind in the right place.
I believe someone who is very successful is just the version of someone else without the success blocks in their mind. We are our own worst enemies when it comes to preventing our success.
If you can start reading the same books as the most successful people in the world, like:
And of course those are just a few books to get started on. There are a lot more that you can research to help you grow as an entrepreneur and as a human being.
People like Tony Robbins also specialize in the art of bringing out potential in people and removing the success blocks that are in our minds to allow us to think without limits.
Our minds are like smartphones. We have our operating system and our apps. Our operating system is the way we think and react to everything.
Our apps are the different skills we learn like speaking another language, advanced math, writing, etc.
People tend to always try and install new apps, thinking it will solve the problems they have or make them successful, but it may have been the operating system all along.
The first step towards creating the right operating system for your brain to function more like a billionaire's is to be aware of how you react to situations and how you think on a daily basis.
Find where the problems lie in your thinking and find ways to address them through courses, books, audios, therapy, etc. Tony Robbins's Date With Destiny is a good course example for this.
First off, I want you to realize that worrying about doing everything perfectly the first time will get you nowhere.
If you have a billion dollar idea, you need to come up with a good plan to bring it to life and act on it right away.
Do not worry how version 1.0 will look. Just get it going and use feedback to improve it. Theories are not going to always be right and money can't be made without action.
The founder of Linkedin, Reid Hoffman, said it best:
"If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late."
And when the founder of Linkedin says something, you definitely have to listen.
Before starting, make sure when you come up with this idea that it is something you are passionate about. If not, the odds are you won't stick with the project long term.
Also, when trying make your idea a reality, don't worry about not having a formal office, the best connections, etc.
Elon Musk started out small coding video games and Jeff Bezos started Amazon in his garage with money he borrowed from his parents.
It's okay to start really small with your ideas. You don't need a fancy office or a giant bank account to get started.
Another thing that holds back a lot of people from pursuing their big ideas is a lack of confidence in themselves or from others in their ideas.
Did you know that Elon Musk was actually too introverted to go get a job in the field he wanted to study when he was starting out? Now look where he is. He started Paypal, Tesla, and SpaceX.
Did you know that Richard Branson was dyslexic and dropped out of school at 16 years old to pursue entrepreneurship. Look at him now. Virgin Group owns over 200 companies.
Today's billionaires didn't make excuses, even though many of them could have. Instead they took action and pursued their interests. Now, they are helping make the world a better place.
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, you need to pause and reflect."
– Mark Twain
"Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, you need to pause and reflect."
– Mark Twain
The reason billionaires went their own way in life is because they wanted to accomplish more than the majority of the world. The majority of the world is either struggling or just plain average.
They work crappy jobs that they hate and do whatever they're told their whole lives. Don't get me wrong, we need these people in the world to keep everything afloat, but there is more to life what the majority does.
The majority of people won't be remembered by anyone but their small circle of influence that is their friends, family and coworkers.
The majority of people will not get to buy everything they want or go anywhere they want.
The majority of people spend their lives making lots of money for the company they work for, only to bring home a small amount to get by on. But, what if you went against that?
To make your dreams come true and really make history, you will be met with a lot of criticism and doubt from others who just don't understand.
Here's another great quote that outlines this:
"When 99% of people doubt your ideas, you are either gravely wrong or about to make history."
– Scott Belsky
"When 99% of people doubt your ideas, you are either gravely wrong or about to make history."
– Scott Belsky
Don't be afraid to go against what others may advise you to do. When it comes to knowing who to listen to as you work on making your big ideas come true, always consider the source.
If someone who has no money gave you financial advice, would you take it? If someone with a history of bad divorces gave you marriage advice, would you take it? Hopefully you wouldn't.
Through the journey of becoming a very successful entrepreneur, don't worry too much about what the average person advises you to do.
Instead, surround yourself with successful people who have been in your shoes to learn from.
Sure, the idea of you helping millions of people and making more money than you can count may sound good, but what if you don't have what you need to make it happen?
One thing you will learn from billionaires is that they had to get over the "do everything yourself" approach. You will need help from others along the way, so don't be afraid to ask for it.
So maybe you have a spectacular idea for something that can make the world a better place, but you don't have the expertise or resources to make it happen.
One way to come up with new innovations and make big ideas a reality is to use incentive prizes. In other words, offer a reward to the person who figures out how to bring your idea to life.
One company that does this is XPrize, founded by Peter Diamantis, with an all star board of trustees, including Elon Musk, Arianna Huffington, Larry Page, etc.
XPrize actually puts together huge incentive rewards for people that can take innovative ideas that could greatly benefit the world and make them possible.
Using these prizes is a great way to take some world leaders' ideas and combine them with the expertise of people that could potentially make them happen.
If you don't have necessary funds to take on a big project, many billionaires will tell you that crowdfunding is a great way to go.
In fact, many successful entrepreneurs will tell you that if you can't execute a crowdfunding campaign, you may want to rethink the direction you are going in.
All you have to do is let the public know about your idea, what it will do for them, and come up with a great plan to execute for raising money from multiple sources.
Not only is crowdfunding great because the funding isn't all coming from your pocket, but it also will tell you how great of an idea you may actually have.
Anyone can tell you that you have a great idea that could change the world, but it's the ones that pull out their wallets that really mean they trust in your plan.
If you're looking into this strategy, go to crowdfunding.com for some of the best sites to get started.
The most successful people in the world all had to go through countless challenges and failures along the road to their success and you will too.
This is why it is very important you know why you are doing what you are doing and that you are fully committed.
Here's a few tips for making sure you stay on track while pushing your startup towards your ultimate goal:
As entrepreneurs, we have the responsibility to think big and come up with ideas that can make the world a better place.
If you are just worried about the money, any billionaire will tell you, it will follow with the amount of people you positively impact. If you are trying to figure out how to think like a billionaire and make history, I want to ask you this:
If you were given a billion dollars and were told to use it to improve the world, what would you do with it? Think about that and let us know what you came up with in the comments.
I'm an entrepreneur, fitness freak, artist, car enthusiast, sports fan and self improvement addict. My goal is to help people be their best and create incredible businesses that change the world.
Hi Justin,
Very creative and thoughtful article, I must say. Truly speaking, I never even thought to become a billionaire. I have always tried to earn more than what I do already. So basically i just tried to increase my income. That's all.
I never had a thought to become a billionaire. Probably this is far beyond our imagination. I believe it's same for almost any ordinary person on this planet. Surely those who are billionaires have something we don't have; may be positive thinking; may be extreme desire to earn money; may be some things we can't even imagine of.
But one thing is sure that these people have done something great; something unique that made themselves different from others. I have read many articles how rich people think and the biggest differences between the mindsets of a rich person and a poor person.
One I can remember right now is that poor people focus on saving more while rich people focus on earning more and even more.
So thoughts make a difference. Really!
To answer your question, if I am given a billion dollars now, probably I will be confused about what to do with it. I may also be excited. I may even try to do something that make around me happier or may even try to make the world a better place. Truly speaking, I am not sure.
However, nice read. Just shared it on Twitter. I had to.
Have a good day ahead …. Tamal
Thanks for the insight Tamal 🙂 glad you liked it!
To write this post I need a month I guess 🙂 you researched very well .nice post with billionaires in it .Whenever u see yourself on side of majority .you need to pause and reflect.does it means to be a different creator then others ?
Hey Zain, glad you liked the post. I think it just means that the majority of people aren't creators and they mostly work for others making someone else's dreams come true. To be different from the crowd is good because it gives you a better chance pursue your dreams and explore new possibilities without limitations.
Corey Goldstein
Thank you Justin. You took this on from a fresh perspective!
Justin Bryant
Glad you liked the post, Corey!
Truly a great insight from billionaire points of view. I have recently developed a Urge to become a billionaire and I always had it.Now a days I have learned and understand many things which differentiate a common business man thinking from that of billionaire. This article adds to my knowledge. Truly amazing to know that idea which makes billions life better by any means can easily make your way to be a billionaire having done it in proper possible way.
Thanks alot
Thanks for the kind words, Mehul. I hope achieve your goal of becoming a billionaire one day.
rich T n
Superb exposure. I agree with all you said and I have been thinking like a billionaire but in the box,although am business person. To answer your question, if I am given a billion dollars, I will use it to revolutionize the world by manufacturing drugs free from adverse effects and I shall say how if I am getting a billion rewards.
That could be a huge discovery if you could do that. That could help a lot of people who are dependent on medication.
Great post
1) look for missing things in world or the important things that you want to share with everybody and known by very few people
ex.before Right brothers Airoplane was missing, Before KFC teasty chicken recepie was missing,before Windows great Oprating system was missing.
Skills- Knowledge,Creativity,Right Mindset,willpower,
2) use your skill to create that or do that by diffrent way ,focus and only do that things,
ex. Mark Zukenburg write coading for his idea Facebook, Steve Jobs orgnised great team to convert his ideas in reality, Virgin uses creativity to serve in many sectors
Skills- Persistance,Time, Money,People Management
3) never stop until you reach to everybody who need that thing you made.
ex. Coca Cola is still advertising, Apple still innovates new products.
Skills – Marketing,Branding,good Emotional and Physical Health,
4) you done then go back to step (1)
entreprenure never stop
ex.Elon Musk started paypal then Tesla now spaceX. Virgin started with music company now works in telcom,airtravel and many more
p.s.- light bulb discovered by Thomas Edison
(please ignore all spelling mistakes ,English is my third languge.)
Glad you enjoyed the post. You summed up the lessons pretty well.

My husband and I will arrive at CDG on 10/3 Saturday 830am. We depart from CDG on 10/18 Sunday 1030am. That gives us 15 sightseeing days in France. Husband agreed to 5 nights in Paris (I lobbyed for 7) but the rest is undetermined. This will be our 4th time in France.
Looking at a map and things that interest us (chateaux, wine, pretty towns, museums, churches, history, views) and the distance between destinations, I thought we'd train from CDG to Lyon and stay there 3 nights; rent a car and drive to ??? for 3 nights; and then drive to the Loire Valley, possibly Amboise, for 4 nights.
Is it feasible to go to the Dordogne (?Sarlat?) on this trip? I've already ruled out Provence; too far. Husband loves to drive in France but we really don't want to spend all our time in the rental car.
We also want to see Chartres and Vaux le Vicomte. But given we only have 5 nights in Paris, I really don't want to do a day trip once we're settled there.
So how does this look?:
Lyon 3 nights; ???Sarlat in the Dordogne or a different location 3 nights; Amboise, Loire Valley 4 nights.
Is it feasible to drive from Amboise and see both Chartres and Vaux le Vicomte on our way to Paris?
Should I add another night to Paris (take it away from Amboise) if we see Chartres and Vaux le Vicomte on our way to Paris—I imagine this would take all day…
Although the trip isn't until October, I want to lock down the apartment in Paris so your thoughts on this tentative itinerary would be helpful.

My husband and I will arrive at CDG on 10/3 Saturday 830am. We depart from CDG on 10/18 Sunday 1030am. That gives us 15 sightseeing days in France. Husband agreed to 5 nights in Paris (I lobbyed for 7) but the rest is undetermined. This will be our 4th time in France.

for my tastes, it's a bit hectic - i think that you have time to do a max of two places plus Paris in the time you've got.
to work out whether you can do Amboise- Chartres - Vaux le Vicomte - Paris, google maps is you friend. it looks to me as if it's over 2 hours to Chartres and then another hour and a bit to Vaux - so if you actually want to see anything in Chartres, yo might want to stop over in or near Vaux and then get the train into Paris from a suitable place where you can return your car the next day.
Personally, i think that in the time you've got you could do the Dordogne and the Loire, finishing with Amboise-Chartres - Paris, OR you could do Lyon - Dijon - Paris remembering of course that 5 nights in Paris [or anywhere else] equates to only 4 days, and that you lose at least half a day every time you move from one place to another.
happy planning!

I can never get enough of Paris. Chartres is an easy half day or day trip from Paris by train from Gare Montparnasse. Another thought might be, if wine and gorgeous cathedrals, are of interest, Reims. I may be a minority but I love the cathedral there and enjoyed it more than the one in Chartres. Champagne houses could be visited there also.
If you to the Loire, I enjoyed Amboise but was not there too long. It can be touristy for sure.We spent our time at the chateau there and loved the little chapel where da Vinci is reportedly buried. We both loved Chenonceau.
You will get tons of advice on this and I am dying to get to Vaux le Vicomte!

I would say that you would not have time to do Sarlat & that area of the Dordogne with anything outside of Paris. We are spending three weeks there in September! That said, our previous "Paris-plus" trips have included: North to Caen, Honfleur, Dieppe, Deauville, Bayeaux, Normandie, Mt. St. M, Chartres. (5 nts). East to Reins, Epernay, Dijon, Cote D'or including Beaune, then Loire including Chenonceau & Chambord, and lastly Amboise (5-7 nts) before looping back to Paris. South was a TGV thru Lyon (we did not spend time there) to Nice from which we explored Monaco-St. Tropez (5 nights). Because I want to see Limoges & Bordeaux while in SW France, it seemed logical to combine this w/ the Dordogne and now Toulouse and even western Provence; most Fodorites think the Dordogne area of Sarlat deserves 7-10 days. As far as more local excursions from Paris for a day, Fontainebleu & Barbizon were lovely, as was Auvers-sur-Oise to the north (we had done Giverny previously). We too like to plan something after 5 days in Paris. We have always had great weather in Europe in Sept/Oct.

Sorry, need to add "anything ELSE outside of Paris" with reference to Sarlat. It takes a long time to get there via car or train, do think 5 days would be too short.
Report Abuse
If I had 10 days in France outside of Paris, including the choices you have presented, I would do one of the following:
Train or fly to Avignon - Rent a car and explore the Luberon - 4 nights
Train from Avignon to Lyon - 2 nights
Drive from Lyon to Dijon - touring Burgundy region 2 nights
Drive from Dijon to Orleans - touring Loire Valley 2 nights
If that is too much moving around for you, then eliminate one stop and add to the other three
OR option two
Train to Lyon - 2 nights in Lyon
Drive to Sarlat (4 hours) - 4 nights - explore the Dordogne
Drive to Orleans (4 hours) - 4 nights - explore Loire Valley

We have done the following trip last April and it went pretty well without spending too much time sitting in a rental car:
Arrival in Paris
Train from CDG to Avignon (unbeatable 3h30min nonstop!)
Rental car from here
4 nights near Avignon
4 nights Luberon (best area in Provence IMO)
4 nights near Aix en Provence (with coast day trips)
Train back to Paris
5 days in Paris
15 days are perfect for getting to know Provence intensively.
Another Option would be to stopover in Lyon (Train stops there) and squeeze in 2 nights.

Thank you all for the thoughtful replies.
annhig, it was seeming hectic which is why I started questionning myself. I'm leaning toward doing the Dordogne and the Loire, finishing with Amboise-Chartres-Paris. Might do Amboise-Vaux le Vicomte-Paris because I believe Chartres is an easier day trip from Paris, if we choose to do a day trip from Paris.
denisea--your recent trip report is one of the reasons I booked this trip! I could stay in Paris for 2 weeks but husband wants to see more (and I'm really ok with that). I'm hoping Amboise won't be as touristy during October. Chenonceau is on the list of chateau we want to see.
aliced--from everything I've read about the Dordogne, it does seem to warrant as much time as one can allow. There's so much to see in France (and so little time!). Sure hoping your weather karma follows us!
russ--I'm leaning toward your option 2. It seems Lyon is an easy train ride out of CDG, we can get over our jet lag then rent the car and start exploring. Provence still seems too far for this trip since I really want to explore the Loire Valley.
I think I'll just book the apartment for 5 nights in Paris. We're going with parisbestlodge crazy view on Ile de la Cite.

The Dordogne is difficult to get to from CDG. This is what I would do:
- Arrive at CDG & spend 5 nights in Paris
- Take one of the many trains to Brive la Gaillarde, rent a car, visit Collonges la Rouge, then spend 6 nignts in Sarlat.
- Drive up to the Loire and spend 3 nights there (I would stay at Chenonceau - easy car access in & out).
- Drive to Chartres, visit Chartres, then drive on to Chantilly, visit the Chateau (this is why I had only 3 nights in the Loire), and stay overnight in Chantilly.
- Drive 30 mins to CDG in the morning to catch your flight home.
We did a trip in about '11 exactly like this.
Do you have my Dordogne itinerary??? We've spent 10 weeks vacationing there. I've sent about 5,000 copies of my various itineraries to people on Fodors. If you would like a copy, e-mail me at [email protected] & I'll attach one to the reply e-mail.

Vaux le Vicomte is underrated, but not well visited castle. If you get there on a day bus is not running, you need to use a taxi both ways from the station. If you can stop by while you still have a rental car, it would vastly simplify visiting this gem.
Report Abuse
Thanks, Stu Dudley. I just emailed you for the itinerary. I'm a little hesitant to stay outside Paris and hassle with returning the car the day we depart, especially with a relatively early flight. There'd be a lot less hesitation if it was say 230pm instead of 1030am. But this itinerary looks great otherwise! I hadn't thought about Chantilly since it's north of Paris; was focusing southward.
@greg, I read that it's difficult to get to Vaux le Vicomte on public transport so we would definitely only visit while we have the rental car.
Report Abuse
Consider staying at CDG the night before departure. This year for our June trip, we spent the last 3 days visiting Fontainebleau, Vaux le Vicomte, and other chateau close to Paris. Then we drove to CDG, returned the car (not easy) about 6pm, checked into the Sheraton, and had a nice dinner there.
Don't do my suggested itinerary in reverse - starting with Chantilly. There would be several "problems" with that.
Get to Chartres on Saturday before noon to experience their wonderful Sat morning farmer's market (one of the "problems" above if you do the itinerary in reverse).
I have not received an e-mail from you yet. I've received 3 requests this morning for my Provence itinerary - but nothing for the Dordogne.

@Stu Didley, I received the itinerary, thank you.
I'm still mulling over all the options for these precious 10 days. But I'm just so very happy to be planning a trip to France and particularly Paris. Cannot wait!

Talked it over with the husband and we're going to do 2 nights in Lyon; pick up the car; spend 5 nights in Sarlat area; 3 nights in Loire Valley; return the car; and have 5 nights in Paris. We will probably not see Vaux le Vicomte but definitely still aiming for Chartres. It's still a bit of hopping around but I think it will work.
Went ahead and sent off to ParisBestLodge to reserve the apartment on Ile de la Cite. Will be looking for hotels in the other areas.
Thanks again, everyone! Nola

Take a look at Auberge Du Bon Laboureur in Chenonceaux, it was delightful and convenient, you literally walk across the street to the chateau, nice to be able to leave the car parked onsite.

I agree. We've stayed there twice. A Michelin 1 star restaurant also. Be the first in line when Chenonceaux opens in the morning - to avoid crowds.

Thanks, aliced and Stu Dudley. The hotel looks great! Hopefully the price will be right.
About the Sarlat area, since we'll be there for 5 nights I thought to look for an apartment. Any recommendations?
Thanks so much.

Calling Float.ToString() will generate a string where the decimal part is separated by a comma (on my Swedish comp). I'd like it to be a dot instead, mainly for compatibility reasons (file outputs etc...). Is there some easy way to change this, like some locale setting somewhere? I'd prefer not to call String.Replace() every time I call ToString().
Using C#.NET on MSVC2005.NET
One of the ToString overloads take a IFormatProvider parameter so you can do something like:
System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo format = new System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo();
format.NumberDecimalSeparator = ".";
format.NumberGroupSeparator = ",";
s = f.ToString(format);
In your specific case (using . as decimal separator) you can make it even more simple:
s = f.ToString(System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo); // NumberFormatInfo.InvariantInfo uses . as a decimal separator
you can also try ToString("#.000")

BACKGROUND. Although general practitioners are involved in the care of most dying patients, they do not routinely receive information about their deceased patients for whom they did not complete the death certificate, and often they rely upon informal communication channels. AIM. This study set out to assess how general practitioners obtained, recorded and used information about deceased patients and to determine their views on receiving a death register. METHOD. A questionnaire was sent to all 305 general practitioners in the Newcastle upon Tyne and Sunderland Family Health Services Authority areas. RESULTS. A total of 225 questionnaires were returned (response rate 74%). General practitioners usually first learnt about their patients' deaths from hospital discharge summaries (54%) and patients' relatives (46%) and less commonly from newspaper obituary columns (20%) and hospital telephone calls (9%). Two thirds of respondents recorded information about decreased patients, mainly listing personal details and the immediate cause of death. One third or fewer of those recording information listed contributory causes. The information was used mainly for following up bereaved relatives and notifying hospitals and other agencies. CONCLUSION. Current informal systems for handling information about patients' deaths are inadequate. General practitioners need and would welcome prompt, accurate and comprehensive information about all their deceased patients.

Dry Land Crops in Nebraska, Kansas Start to Show Signs of Stress
Nebraska's crops are making good progress, but crops that lack irrigation are starting to show signs of stress in areas without recent rain.
The USDA says farmers in central Nebraska were able to reduce irrigation last week because of healthy amounts of rain. The report also states that 70 percent of both the corn and soybean crops are in good or excellent condition as of this week.
In Kansas, the latest government snapshot shows dry land crops that missed the recent rain are showing signs of stress as well.
Precipitation over the past week was limited to the northern half of the state with totals of less than a half-inch in most areas. The report shows about 15 percent of the corn crop and 10 percent of the soybeans are rated in poor to very poor condition.

good morning! thanks for starting your day with us. i'm paulina bucka. and i'm joe sam 3 3 we've been talking mardi gras pretty much all this month... and now it's time for some real action.. so here's what's going on this weekend.. saturday the rio parade will rollout right here in lafayette. the parade is known for its colorful floats, rocking bands and some of the best beads and throws in acadiana! the route starts on evangeline throughway and ends at cajun field. it's expected to kick off at 6-30 p-m some more purple....green....and gold fun happening sunday ---the scott business association will kick off their 21st annual mardi gras parade. roads will be closed starting at 11 that morning and here's a heads out for everyone out there........any vehicles or trailers placed on grassy areas between south frontage road and interstate 10 before 6 a-m sunday, will be towed as well as any vehicles blocking roads or near hydrants. the parade is set to roll on at 1 p-m. also lafayette police want to ensure before we head out to see the floats and attractions-- we keep safety first! barricades started going out yesterday along parade routes in the area.lpd says all of the barricades should be out by this afternoon. this is in preparation for lafayette's first parade of the season -- the krewe of rio. that parade will begin saturday evening. now while some-- may feel the barricades hold them back from the fun and action--l-p-d says its better safe than sorry. 3 today will mark the fifth day that lawmakers will be stuck in the capital city for the current special session in order to close a 304 million dollar budget deficit so far there have been a series of proposals and counter proposals to balance the budget, but the fight from the beginning has been whether or not to pull from the rainy day fund. so far, it seems like the two opposing sides could possibly meet half way and make a decision. u-l polical science professor dr. pearson cross says it's going to be a compromise bill. <"cameron henry's willingness to use 75 million of the rainy day fund indicates that he is willing to give that much, he's not holding the hard line."> what this means is that....it's going to come down to a matter of negotiation regardless of what is discussed....lawmakers must come to a final decision on how to fix the budget hole by next wednesday when the special session ends 3 ul students will finally get a chance to see the latest edition of the university's magazine la louisiane after waiting for it to be released for over a year this issue covers both the fall 2016 and winter 2017 semesters---when typically the magazine just covers one at a time.with all the controversy over it's publishing date was highlighted back in november......ul lafayette has removed any publishing promises from its magazine--la louisiane---and its website. now let's check in with grace for a quick look at weather--- 3 3 3 parents in one new jersey community are worried their children may have been exposed to lead in school drinking water.officials say tests show lead at higher-than-acceptable levels in two elementary schools.the state of new jersey called for tests in all public schools.now... tests in hunterdon county have turned up trouble.cali desimone reports, at lambertville public school.. 4 out of 17 samples exceeded the e-p-a action level of 15 parts per billion of lead.the same was true of 2 of 14 samples taken at west the lambertville school uses public water. west amwell elementary uses well water.lou muenker/ south hunterdon school district: "last spring in may we did test the public water at that time everything proved to be ok."but more recent tests showed the higher readings. one so-called "first draw" sample at the lambertville school had a lead reading of 320 parts per billion, or about 21 times the federal action level. lou muenker/ south hunterdon school district:"i think the difference that we are noticing is the testing methods were a little different."."high levels of lead in the water can prove extremely dangerous... especially to young children. lead is a neurotoxin... and even small amounts have been proven to lead to learning disabilities and other problems.lou muenker/ south hunterdon school district:"at west amwell we had a water fountain in one of our classrooms that tested to be above levels and also in the nurses office we have a sink with a faucet that also tested to be above levels." superintendent lou muenker says there was also a water fountain by the gym and a sink in a kitchen that tested above normal for lead.lou muenker/ south hunterdon school district:"our first action to remediate that was just to turn them off. so the sink in the nurses office is used to hand washing only and we provided water bottles and things for the kids to drink." an official with the new jersey sierra club told n.j.com that the lead findings have "sent a chill through the community" and that parents are "very concerned." yesterday thousands of immigrants and supporters around the country took part in a national day without immigrants.many restaurants and businesses worked with short staff or even closed as part of the nationwide protest. protesters marched in response to president donald trump's immigration crackdown and travel ban......and are aimed at showing america the importance of immigrants and the contributions they make on a daily basis. 3 imagine----thousands of fans screaming.....the entire world watching......and a moment most spend their lifetime waiting for.what started out as a simple dream for one acadiana musician turned into a whirlwind of fame and exposure. lane mack is one artist--- leaving the energetic stages of acadiana to brace the judgement stage nationally. nats <in the back

Our intimate resort is situated on a stretch of 400 m long sandy beach on Pantar Island. To preserve the authentic atmosphere of the place, we took special care while integrating the resort in its natural surrounding.
To enchance friendly ambiance and personalized service, the number of guests are limited to 12. Locals from nearby village, few assistants from the main town of the region, Kalabahi, and Western management make up the hospitable working team, committed to present you with a memorable stay in our islands retreat.
The climate of Alor is particularly pleasant: the months from early April to late October are fairly dry and nights are often surprisingly cold, therefore acclimatization is less harsh than one might imagine. Moreover, due to the lack of standing fresh water, mosquitoes are rare to encounter for most of the year.

"…Under the guiding hand of T.J. Dawson, [3-D Theatricals] has delivered shows whose production values exceed many a touring company…, and which are as slick and professional as anything in New York City…" – Orange County Register
Welcome to 3-D Theatricals!
Mission Statement: To provide southern California with professional theatre that includes Broadway Musicals, plays, readings and new works. It is our goal to increase arts awareness throughout the community and to nurture our youth with culture and education. We are committed to excellence, and bringing new life and demand to the arts.
In 2009, the Dawson family set out fulfill their dream of building a musical theater company and bringing the Broadway experience to Southern California. Presented with the unique opportunity to build an audience from the ground up, 3-D Theatricals opened its first season in 2009 at The Orange County Pavilion to an amazing reception by OC theatergoers. In 2011, we made the move to Fullerton's Plummer Auditorium, and in 2012, began taking our shows to the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center. After 6 wonderful years in Fullerton and in Redondo Beach, we were given the opportunity to become the exclusive resident theatre company at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts for their Broadway series starting in the fall of 2016. Lean more about the move to Cerritos in the Orange County Register or Broadwayworld.com.
We are proud to bring you Broadway-caliber shows and present to you the extraordinary actors, musicians, and crew that make our productions possible. 3-D has earned rave reviews from The Orange County Register, LA Times, Los Angeles Daily News, The Long Beach Examiner, the Spark OC Blog, and BroadwayWorld.com. Our 2013 season received fifteen Ovation Award nominations and five L.A. Drama Critics Circle Award nominations. Our production of Jason Robert Brown's Parade won Ovation Awards for Best Musical, Best Actor, Best Featured Actor, and Best Ensemble.
In 2012 we became a non-profit company, allowing us to bring the arts to the communities that we serve. We are grateful to have the services of The Houselights, our volunteer guild that ushers, takes tickets, and runs concessions for our performances. We recently acquired new headquarters, which include our box office, business offices, set and costume warehouse, and rehearsal space. From here, we will offer face-to-face ticket and subscription sales, host auditions, run rehearsals for our productions, and grow our costume and set rental opportunities.
If you have not already done so, we invite you to become a part of our subscriber membership. Our subscribers enjoy significant savings on ticket prices, preferential and guaranteed seating, discounts on single-ticket sales, exclusive offers, and easy exchanges. Now is the time to subscribe and guarantee memories that will last a lifetime!

Daniel Dawson is honored to be a part of something so spectacular as to be seemingly beyond his wildest dreams. Always having been very close to his family he feels very lucky to be able to work together at something they are all equally passionate about. His dream of being a part of the entertainment industry was jump started by encouragement from his brother to audition for the GLORY OF CHRISTMAS at the Crystal Cathedral. He was 11 years old and terrified of the thought of being on stage, but because of his brother's tenacity, Daniel was thrust into the show and given the "Silent Night" solo; he has been addicted to theatre ever since. Along with his siblings, he attended the Academy for the Performing Arts in Huntington Beach and then he went on to receive his B.A. in Musical Theatre at the University of Northern Colorado.
Some of his favorite credits include: National Tour: CATS 2009-2010 "Tour of the Americas" produced by Troika (Male Swing covering: Munkustrap, Skimbleshanks, Rum Tum Tugger, Alonzo, and Plato/ Macavity), Regional: BAT BOY (Bat Boy) with Stages [Garland Award Nominee], ASSASSINS (Balladeer) with Still Hungry Theatre, JESUS' KID BROTHER LARRY (Ernst/Julio) with International City Theatre, SEUSSICAL (Wickershim Brother) with Moonlight Amphitheatre, FOOTLOOSE (Willard Hewitt) and GREASE (Roger) with Musical Theatre West (MTW), CRAZY FOR YOU (Sam/Custus) both with MTW and Downey Civic Light Opera, SIDE SHOW (Buddy Foster), NO, NO NANETTE (Billy), ANYTHING GOES (Billy), JEKYLL AND HYDE (Spider), 42ND STREET (Bert Barry), A CHORUS LINE (Mike/Bobby/Larry), OKLAHOMA (Will Parker), JOSEPH… (Joseph), GREASE (Doody), CABARET (Emcee), and a few others.
He loves his family and friends and thanks them from the bottom of his heart because without them he wouldn't be the happy person he has become.

Pippa Middleton 'has good reason to fear all iCloud information has been hacked'
The Duchess of Cambridge's sister has "good reason" to fear that all information held in her iCloud account has been hacked, a High Court judge has said.
Mrs Justice Whipple has heard that photographs from Pippa Middleton's iCloud account have been offered for sale to national newspapers.
She said Miss Middleton had told how the account contained "other private information" and feared that "material" had also been accessed.
The judge indicated that she thought Miss Middleton's fears were justified.
Miss Middleton - and her fiance, James Matthews - have taken civil court action against a "person or persons unknown" as a result of pictures allegedly being taken from the account.
The judge has made orders barring publication of photographs and other material held on the account after hearing lawyers representing Miss Middleton outline evidence at a hearing at the High Court in London.
"Someone has apparently accessed the First Claimant's iCloud account and the material held on it," said Mrs Justice Whipple in a ruling on the case.
"Photographs held on that iCloud account have been offered for sale to the national press.
"The person(s) offering the photographs for sale has/have sought to avoid being identified.
"He or she has, or they have, communicated with the press in ways which are designed to be untraceable.
"The photographs which have been offered for sale are personal to the Claimants. They include photographs of family, friends and places of personal importance."
Mrs Justice Whipple added: "(Miss Middleton) states that her iCloud account contains other private information beyond photographs. She fears that this material too has been accessed."
She went on: "(Miss Middleton) has good reason to fear that all the information held in her iCloud account has been accessed."
Police are investigating and Miss Middleton had told the judge that a man had been arrested on suspicion of accessing her iCloud account without authorisation.
Officers say a 35-year-old man has been released on police bail - pending further inquiries - after being arrested at an address in Northamptonshire late on Saturday on suspicion of an offence under the Computer Misuse Act.
Mrs Justice Whipple said the man had been named as Nathan Wyatt - and he had been represented at the High Court hearing by solicitor Richard Egan.
"However, it is as yet not clear who was responsible for accessing the (Miss Middleton's) account," said the judge.
"As things stand, the identity of the Defendants remains unknown."
She added: "For that reason, this application is made against 'Person or Persons Unknown'."
Mrs Justice Whipple said Miss Middleton and Mr Matthews had argued their right to respect for private life - enshrined in Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights - would be infringed if material from the iCloud account was published.
The judge said their arguments were "very strong".
"From the evidence before me, it appears that the information has been obtained by hacking into (Miss Middleton's) iCloud account," said the judge.
"If that has occurred, that would be a criminal act.
"On any view, it is an appalling intrusion into the claimants' private life."
She added: "Any use by publication or sale of the information would be misuse of private information."
Neither Miss Middleton nor Mr Matthews were at the High Court hearing - but Miss Middleton had given information to the judge in a written statement.
The couple's legal team had been led by barrister Adam Wolanski.
He told the judge that there may have been misuse of private information, breach of confidence, infringement of copyright and breaches of statutory obligations owed under data protection legislation.
Mr Wolanski said Miss Middleton thought that there had been a "genuine hack".
He said there had been a "flagrant", "dishonest" and "criminal act" which had caused Miss Middleton "considerable distress".
Mr Wolanski said photographs had not been published by English or Welsh newspapers
He said "Fleet Street" had alerted Miss Middleton to the issue.
Mrs Justice Whipple's order covers the legal jurisdiction of England and Wales.
Mr Wolanski said there were limitations to the effect her order would have on anyone based outside England and Wales.

2.2.1 Function Names as Expressions
In an expression like f[x], the "function name" f is itself an expression, and you can treat it as you would any other expression.
In[1]:= f[x] + f[1 - x] /. f -> g
In[2]:= p1 = p2; p1[x, y]
In[3]:= pf[f_, x_] := f[x] + f[1 - x]
In[4]:= pf[Log, q]
The ability to treat the names of functions just like other kinds of expressions is an important consequence of the symbolic nature of the Mathematica language. It makes possible the whole range of functional operations discussed in the sections that follow. Ordinary Mathematica functions such as Log or Integrate typically operate on data such as numbers and algebraic expressions. Mathematica functions that represent functional operations, however, can operate not only on ordinary data, but also on functions themselves. Thus, for example, the functional operation InverseFunction takes a Mathematica function name as an argument, and represents the inverse of that function.
In[5]:= InverseFunction[ArcSin]
In[6]:= %[x]
In[7]:= InverseFunction[f] [x]
There are many kinds of functional operations in Mathematica. Some represent mathematical operations; others represent various kinds of procedures and algorithms. Unless you are familiar with advanced symbolic languages, you will probably not recognize most of the functional operations discussed in the sections that follow. At first, the operations may seem difficult to understand. But it is worth persisting. Functional operations provide one of the most conceptually and practically efficient ways to use Mathematica.

Low interest rates are driving more investors to seek higher returns in unregulated investment schemes, increasing their chances of being scammed, the FCA has found.
New research from the FCA,which is part of the regulator's Scam Smart campaign, found almost half of people aged over-55 investing in unregulated products do so without seeking professional advice.
The study surveyed 2,300 UK residents and found 41 per cent of over-55s had moved money out of savings into investments in a bid to get a better return.
It says the current low interest rates is one of the key reasons investors are looking at a range of unfamiliar types of investment products, with more than a quarter of over 55s falling victim to fraud being scammed via an unauthorised firm selling unregulated products.
The figures show no sign of falling, as 23 per cent of those questioned say they are considering investing in unfamiliar types of investments in the future.
Those considering investing in unregulated products in the next 12 months say they would invest an average of more than £4,000, with land, wine and art listed as popular investment choices.
Of those surveyed, 13 per cent were unaware unregulated products bought through an unauthorised firm offered no protection from the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.
Nearly half invest in unregulated products without getting professional advice or checking the FCA's warning list.
FCA enforcement director Mark Steward says: 'You don't need to be gullible to lose money to a scam or fraud. Fraudsters target financially sophisticated people too, who often don't like to ask what might sound like silly or basic questions.
"Our research found that 60 per cent of those that have experienced investment fraud have not reported it, so the problem could be greater than we know and by reporting it you are helping us to protect others."
Cold-calling is also an issue for over-55s with those being contacted by firms they had not heard of reporting a 40 per cent increase in unsolicited contact.
One-third of retirees reported being contacted by a firm offering investments in the past 12 months with 37 per cent being contacted as many as three times. Just under half of those who experienced investment fraud made their investment following unsolicited contact.

Republican Bill Cassidy defeats Democrat Mary Landrieu in LouisianaPosted by Editorial Staff on December 6, 2014
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy has defeated Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu, denying her a fourth term and extending the GOP's domination of the 2014 midterm elections that put Republicans in charge of Capitol Hill for the final two years of President Barack Obama's tenure.
With Cassidy's victory, the GOP will hold 54 seats when the Senate convenes in January, nine more than they have now. Republican victories in two Louisiana House districts Saturday — including the seat Cassidy now holds — ensure at least 246 seats, compared to 188 for Democrats, the largest GOP advantage since the Truman administration after World War II. An Arizona recount leaves one race still outstanding.
In Louisiana, early returns showed Cassidy with a wide lead.
Landrieu had narrowly led a Nov. 4 primary ballot that included eight candidates from all parties. But at 42 percent, she fell well below her marks in previous races, leaving the incumbent scrambling in a one-month runoff campaign that Republicans dominated via the air waves while national Democrats financially abandoned her effort.

Rattan Whale and Fish Baskets
We've never loved rattan so much. Many of you agreed with us that the rattan elephant hamper we wrote about was really cute. He's now joined by two friends, a whale and a fish.
The whale-shaped basket with the gaping mouth makes toy clean up easy. It also would work great for holding magazines, recycling newspapers, or holding knitting essentials. If you prefer something covered, the lidded fish basket is too cute to pass up. Either also would be great in the bathroom to hold fresh towels. Both are available at Pottery Barn Kids.

Sotiris Stavros Bassakaropoulos 6 August 1946 – 27 December 2009
My dad was always the life and soul of the party a real rebel. He was born in Athens in 1946.
For anyone who met my dad would say his character was larger than life. He had a Greek accent and a really good sense of humour and when he decided he was right. There was no point in trying to argue with him it was a losing battle. The best words to descibe him would be and he used these words himself was he didn't give a shit about what anyone said.. The police the government traffic wardens you name it, when they came into contact with my dad they had a shock.. He used to constantly be battling with business partners the government he even tried to take Ledu to court.
He loved listening to music a lot of the music he liked I enjoyed too. Some of the singers he liked included his favourite Van Morrison,Gary Moore, Santana,Fleetwood Mac,Ry Cooder,Joe Cocker,Elton John,Eric Clapton,George Michael,He also liked Rydian Roberts,Leona Lewis and Watched the X Factor as well.
