- USD/CAD shot higher on the BOC's dovishness but the jobs report stabilized it.
- A light calendar leaves the focus on oil and global developments.
- The technical picture is bullish for USD/CAD while experts are bullish only in the short-term.
This was the week: BOC changes its mind, oil, jobs
The Bank of Canada all but removed its hawkish bias. After having a clear bias in favor of raising rates, the BOC now seems reluctant to make any moves this year. The global slowdown and a weak Canadian economy in Q4 caused the change of heart.
However, not all parts of the economy are looking weak. The labor market surprised once again with Canada gaining no less than 55.9K positions. Moreover, wages continued their recovery by accelerating to 2.25% in February after stabilizing at 1.82% in January. The two consecutive rises come after months of deceleration. And while the unemployment rate remained unchanged at 5.8%, the participation rate leaped to 65.8%. And, the composition of jobs was clearly skewed in favor of full-time positions.
The loonie still ended the week lower also due to the fall in oil prices. A jump in US inventories of crude oil triggered a belated reaction. Correction after the rises is probably another reason for the slide.
In the US, the Non-Farm Payrolls fell short of expectations with an increase of only 20K jobs but wage growth accelerated to 3.4% YoY and the various unemployment rates slipped. The ISM Manufacturing PMI and New Home Sales also beat expectations.
Trade talks between the US and China continue, but a meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping has yet to be scheduled and this weighs on the mood. In addition, China set low growth targets and the ECB went in the footsteps of the BOC and other central banks, turning dovish. The pressure on stocks was also felt in risk currencies such as the loonie.
Canadian events: Watch the USMCA ratification and Wilkins
A light Canadian calendar means that the emphasis is on other events. The new trade agreement, the USMCA, will finally make its way to the US Congress for ratification. It is unclear if it will pass. The accord was sealed in the autumn of 2018 and relieve Canada of fears. However, it is not over until US lawmakers with different interests have their say.
In addition, the global mood will also make a difference. Apart from the trade talks mentioned earlier, Brexit may have some impact on the loonie. If Parliament approves an extension of Article 50, the C$ may rise on the risk-on mood. It could drop if the UK gets closer to a hard Brexit.
The one event that stands out on the calendar is a speech by BOC Deputy Governor Carolyn Wilkins. She has previously preempted moves by the Ottawa-based institution and this may happen again now.
Here is the Canadian calendar for this week:
US events: Consumer and inflation
The US calendar is quite busy and kicks off with a top-tier event already on Monday. US retail sales are expected to bounce after horrible numbers in December. Markets will eye revisions to the previous data as well as the fresh figures. Note that the data is delayed due to the government shutdown.
The inflation report is due on Tuesday. A minor slide in the top figure is projected: Core CPI carries expectations for a fall from 2.2% to 2.1%. Other data are forecast to remain stable.
PPI on Wednesday and jobless claims on Thursday serve as a warm-up towards the consumer sentiment number on Friday. The University of Michigan's forward-looking preliminary survey is off the highs near 100 but still at high ground. Expectations are for a virtual repeat of the data seen in February.
All in all, a week packed with top-tier data.
Apart from the economic indicators and global developments already mentioned, the US Dollar could move on political events surrounding the Mueller investigation.
Here are the critical American events from the forex calendar:
USD/CAD Technical Analysis
The Relative Strength Index on the daily chart shows how USD/CAD evaded the 70 level, thus not entering overbought conditions. Momentum is slightly positive and the pair trades above the 50 and 200-day Simple Moving Averages. All in all, the trend is bullish.
1.3420 is still fought upon and may cap USD/CAD. Resistance awaits at 1.3470 which is the fresh peak. Above this level, we are back to numbers last seen at the beginning of the year. 1.3670 provided support in December when the pair traded at higher levels. 1.3670 capped the pair around the same time.
Support awaits at 1.3375 that held Dollar/CAD in January. 1.3340 held it down in mid-February. 1.3240 was a resistance level in late February and 1.3200 was a swing low in February. 1.3110 was the low point late in February and the next support line after that is only at 1.2970.
USD/CAD Sentiment
The global gloom and doom is not a fad and is here to stay. With the BOC turning to the dovish side, the loonie has more room to fall and USD/cAD could extend its gains.
The FXStreet forex poll of experts shows a bullish trend in the short term with a turn to the downside afterward. The targets are descending. And while the short-term goal moved higher, the three-month target dropped considerably.Get the 5 most predictable currency pairs

But right now I'm doing the eBook layout for Steampunk World and I ran into a problem I'd almost forgotten about – extended characters.
Not just your "normal" accented characters, but ones that literally have unicode names of "inodot". So instead of scrolling up and down across four different unicode reference webpages, I updated my referring entities script to be able to search and the reference text file to add extended-A and extended-B.
Basic instructions here:
Because all the tools involved (awk, sed, zenity) are cross-platform, you should be able to make it work pretty easily no matter what system you're on. And the first time you run into a conversion job that has a lot of special characters, you'll thank me.

You don't should really feel confined to a 9 to 5 job and also you don't have to be caught away from the house to earn an income. Many apps let you scan receipts from huge-identify stores and earn cash back for savings you missed.
32. Get Paid to Share Your Opinion
This means putting in a little bit of sweat fairness and not getting paid right now. Rather, you will receives a commission somewhere down the road. And you may continue getting paid whether or not you retain constructing that passive income stream otherwise you cease. No matter what technique you select for generating your on-line revenue, there's one very important factor to grasp.
Learn how to cash in on quick-time period rentals. Did you understand that individuals will really pay you on your words? Just put 'em on paper (or on-line) and let the money begin rolling in. Once you've a little bit of money, you should start investing it.
Considering that you've got a finite period of time, passive income should make up a large part of your work. If you're serious about generating any semblance of revenue on-line, then passive revenue must be one of your sole targets and ambitions. Why?
Surveys aren't the only approach to earn cash with EarningStation. You also can get paid for activities such as studying emails, watching videos, and shopping by way of their companions.
If you have a lot of items in your home and are looking to get rid of it, why not earn some extra money for it? Who is aware of, some of what you personal could be really valuable.
They each make it straightforward to addContent your work and begin being profitable. If you wish to get scammed, go forward and Google "make big money from residence" and start clicking links. It's no secret that the web may be such a cesspool, but there are many respectable methods to earn cash working on-line from home or just on your own schedule.
I've been using it for a few days now and have made about 3 bucks thus far, so it is not big, but on the identical time, I did not really need to do any work to earn the money. While all the opportunities listed under are reliable methods to make some cash, it would most likely be unrealistic to expect to make a full-time revenue from any of them individually. If you are a native English speaker, there may be income to be earned helping individuals study English. Before you expel this concept because you are not an educator, understand there are many people who find themselves willing to pay only for assistance in enhancing their conversational English.
Some nice new ideas to generate income on-line right here too, thanks for sharing. Another good approach to make money is to put in writing product critiques and promote them as an affiliate. It is easy to learn and it may be fun too.… Read More

Casual players only! Here are three fun decks inspired by M19. First is a (generally) better Where Ancients Tread, it's—
Deck 1 Sarkhan's Unsealing
Usage Notes
I must stress, Sarkhan's Unsealing looks at what you cast, not what hits the battlefield. Consider:
Recommended Creatures
What low-costing creatures are there with 4+ power? Let's break it down by mana cost.
Zero mana: Everything here is a build-around, like Hollow One, Myr Enforcer, Tangle Golem, Delraich, Demon of Death's Gate, Hand of Emrakul, and Khalni Hydra. But we're already building around Sarkhan's Unsealing, so we can't accommodate those!
One mana: Phyrexian Dreadnought, Vexing Devil, and Death's Shadow cannot be guaranteed to stay on the battlefield, but one mana to deal 4 damage is a fine deal if they don't. Especially since two of those creatures have 7+ power, making them not one-mana Lightning Blasts but one-mana Flame Waves! Ghoultree could be a nice late-game slam, although considering the late game arguably violates the whole spirit of sorting by casting cost.
Two mana: This is the first category with a variety of sensible, stick-around options instead of the chaos listed above. Frost Walker, Wanted Scoundrels, Bloodrage Brawler, and Exemplar of Strength all fit well with the aggro route a typical Unsealing deck will want. Wall of Razors is decent in more defensive builds.
My favorite two-drop by far is Imaginary Pet. If the opponent doesn't kill it, you get to recast it and retrigger Unsealing every turn! There are more of these tricks at higher mana costs, but this is the only at two. Not to mention, he's a great place to unload some -1/-1 counters, like from Exemplar of Strength or some of the below cards.
Looking at the more combo-y options, there's Lupine Prototype and the old Avatar cycle—Avatar of Will in particular if you are running Lupine. In truly creature-heavy decks, Torgaar, Famine Incarnate and Ghalta, Primal Hunger both trigger the 7+ clause.
Three mana: There are too many playable options to list. My favorites are Lava Zombie, Viashino Sandstalker, Vaultbreaker (the Dash ability says "cast"!), Dusk Urchins, Vexing Sphinx, and Rhonas the Indomitable. In a deck whose very premise is 4+ powered creatures, Rhonas' restriction will not come up often.
For aggressive builds, there's Ammit Eternal, Baleful Ammit, Arrogant Bloodlord, Arc Runner, Ball Lightning, Hell's Thunder, Lathnu Hellion, Shambling Remains, and Yasova Dragonclaw.
Defensive builds have an instant-speed trick with Plumeveil. Keldon Vandals is an overpriced Shatter, not something we typically pay echo to keep, but the 4-damage trigger is worth the extra mana.
Honorable mentions go to Nyxathid, Phyrexian Soulgorger, and Cosmic Larva, who, although probably not good, do trigger the 7+ ability quite cheaply.
Four and more: Given how many high-quality three-drops are available, we shouldn't even look at these creatures unless they really do something special. A few that pop out are Archwing Dragon, Timbermare, Territorial Hellkite, Boneyard Scourge, Blitz Hellion, Thunderblust, Garruk's Packleader, and Angrath's Marauders. Beyond those, just consider what's synergistic with your deck. If you're running a Giant or Dragon tribal deck, you'll obviously want cards that others won't.
Also consider multifunction cards. If you were going to run two Naturalizes, it may be better to run the 4-powered Conclave Naturalists, curve allowing.
Obviously the Ferocious mechanic works well in a deck already running so many 4+ power creatures. Most notable of the 19 in print are Crater's Claws, Savage Punch, and Whisperer of the Wilds.
If you're tempted to also use the Formidable mechanic, there are 12 to pick from, but none seem viable in this sort of deck.
Non-keyworded cards that work well are Mosswort Bridge, Sevala, Heart of the Wilds, Temur Ascendancy, Elemental Bond, and O-Naginata. And don't forget M19's own Goreclaw, Terror of Qal Sisma!
The easy build is to just take all of the above cards I labeled for aggro and stay either mono-red or red-black.. But that doesn't interest me! Let's build something flashier.
Temur Ascendancy is my favorite, because everything that goes with Unsealing also goes with this. Remember Imaginary Pet earlier? He's even better now! Not only is he dealing four damage every turn, not only is he drawing a card every turn, he can even attack with haste!
Ascendancy also provides more justification for running green's enchantment tutors like Commune with the Gods. (Those poor mono-red decks don't have many ways of finding the Sarkhan's Unsealing. Just Vaultbreaker and off-theme cards like Tormenting Voice.)
Everything else in this list is covered somewhere above. Give it a try, and adjust it to your liking!
4 Imaginary Pet
4 Whisperer of the Wilds
4 Exemplar of Strength
2 Rhonas the Indomitable
4 Vaultbreaker
3 Garruk's Packleader
2 Indrik Stomphowler
23 cards
Other Spells
3 Commune with the Gods
2 Savage Punch
4 Temur Ascendancy
4 Sarkhan's Unsealing
13 cards
In the end, 19 of our creatures have power 4 or greater. Eight of them, with no outside assistance, can recast themselves every turn.
Our next card is part Infernal Contract, part Biovisionary, a vivid bit of lore, and evidence that card design is art, it's—
Deck 2 Liliana's Contract
The first clause gets you the demons you need for the second clause! Can't possibly fail!
One option is to run the bare minimum four demons in your whole deck, and use things like Congregation At Dawn and Survival of the Fittest to assemble them. Seems a little too disruptable (as funny as it would be to make Contract plus four demons your Doomsday pile).
Much safer is to just have a bunch of singleton demons in your deck and grind out the win with gradual advantages. The good news is that there are a lot of demons to pick from, a full hundred as of M19's release. The bad news is that most of them, i.e. literally more than half, cost 6 or more mana, and there's a definite cap to how many of those cards a deck can run. Back to good news is that less than half of 100 is still a lot, and the few expensive ones we do run are sure to have powerful, game-warping effects.
Remember to look outside creatures with "Creature—Demon" printed on them. For instance:
So what are our picks?
At two-three mana, there are only a few worth considering: Rakshasa Deathdealer, Skirsdag High Priest, Herald of Torment, Baleful Ammit, and Ammit Eternal.
At four mana, Desecration Demon may be the only good one in mono black. Other colors offer Kaalia of the Vast, Butcher of the Horde, Rakdos, Lord of Riots, and Sakashima the Impostor. (There are also a lot of bad ones in mono black, mostly from Kamigawa block.)
At higher mana costs, I see way more playables than are worth listing, so really just pick your favorites. Or copy my below decklist verbatim.
Next let's look at Demon tribal cards. All of them are from Kamigawa block, and all of them are bad, such as Bloodthirsty Ogre and Villainous Ogre, so let's actually stop looking at them.
What we should look at are the "choose your own tribal" cards. Several of these actually are good with demons. Herald's Horn and Urza's Incubator help us with a top-heavy tribe, Steely Resolve helps them stick around for Liliana, and Cover of Darkness provides an alternate wincon (if attacking with 6/6 fliers wasn't already enough of one).
Although all five colors have multiple things to offer, I settled on green-black. Here's my list! Featuring:
Our final card has a creative bit of templating and would have been perfect for my sound-effect-laden Halloween article, it's—
Deck 3 Desecrated Tomb
It doesn't care how your creatures leave the graveyard, as long as they leave. Any other zone works! It's not yet possible to move a card from a graveyard to the command zone or ante zone, but you can still move it to your hand, the battlefield, exile, or your library. Click here to learn more about zones.
Another usage note is that it's not a token per creature moved, it's a token per time creatures are moved. So in case you were thinking of Hermit Druiding your entire library with a Gaea's Blessing in it—you can, but you only get a single 1/1 for your troubles, no matter how many creatures just entered and left your graveyard.
Within those frameworks, what are the best strategies?
This gives us many options for a deck, but the one I found most appealing was the bottom of the library thing, as I've never done it before. (When someone who's written over 170 articles, most of which have 3 casual decks each, finds something they've never done before, they get excited.)
Rule #1, for the sake of our centerpiece, is to run as many creatures as we can fit. So like deck #1, we'll want a creature-based Naturalize instead of Naturalize itself. We don't need four power anymore though, so the cheaper Reclamation Sage is preferable to Conclave Naturalists. And instead of Go for the Throat, we can run the creature that is Ravenous Chupacabra.
Many of this deck's creatures are mentioned above, such as Millikin and Hell's Caretaker. I haven't yet mentioned Satyr Wayfinder, who once more is a creature version of a spell effect we want, in this case Mulch (more to fill our graveyard than to get lands, although the lands are nice too).
The most important part of the deck I haven't yet mentioned is its primary finisher, Voldaren Pariah. With all of these bat tokens, it won't be too hard to flip it, and its flip effect is so powerful that it's worth the risk. We can even trigger its madness with our Tortured Existence!
What I like about this deck is it can function perfectly well without its centerpiece. If we don't get (or stick) a Desecrated Tomb, we still have many synergies going with Grenzo and Tortured Existence, and can grind out value pretty well. No creature in the deck has a power greater than three, so Grenzo can always be cast for as little as 1BR without losing any value. He's the only red card in the deck, but absolutely worth splashing for.
See you next time, and have fun with M19!
Excellent as always!

Extended water treadmill - suitable for giant breeds
Does your beloved dog need rehabilitation, to lose weight, or just some fun? Hydrotherapy with Bilbo's Hydrotherapy and Pet Spa is the ideal solution.
We provide a range of exercise options for pets from our comfortable and safe facility in Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire. Tailoring our treatments to the individual pet to ensure they achieve their goals and live a happier, healthier, and potentially a longer, more effective life.
Why Choose [company_name]?
Experienced Professionals, Imaginative Solutions
Small Enough to Care, Large Enough to Cope
Award-Winning Service Comes as Standard
A Reputation for Excellence
All our therapy team are registered Canine Hydrotherapists with the National Association of Registered Canine Hydrotherapists (NARCH). We work to the highest ethical and care standards in the UK, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving care from someone who is highly trained, qualified, and experienced.
We work in close collaboration with your vet, as well as having a direct relationship with other canine therapists as required.
We offer both hydrotherapy pool and a water treadmill.This allows for flexibility when choosing the most suitable treatment for a patient. The choice of therapy will be based on our knowledge and experience, as well as your pet's general health, surgical treatment, or injury, and the treatments adjusted accordingly. For some conditions such as hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis, a combination of pool work and water treadmill can give the best outcomes.
Exercising in water can help reduce fatigue and pressure on joints, soothe pain, and help with balance. It can also improve mobility and flexibility, allowing pets to recover from surgery or an injury quicker, and experience a better quality of life and wellbeing.
Hydrotherapy utilises the natural properties of the water, with the principles of relative density, buoyancy, hydrostatic pressure, surface tension, viscosity, and resistance help achieve its therapeutic benefits in a safe environment.
Hydrotherapy Pool
6 X 3 Metres – One of the Largest in the UK
Size Allows Relaxed Natural Behaviour and Motivation
Allows early rehabilitation where reduced weight bearing or load on joints is important – post-surgery or injury
Resting and treatment platforms allow physiotherapy treatment and massage in the pool
Heated to 29-30 degrees – relaxing and pain relieving
Swim jets for neurological input or to increase effort, building muscle and cardiovascular fitness
Water Treadmill
Allows Observation and Filming from All Sides
Allows Early Rehabilitation for Spinal Injury/Surgery Patients
Hydrotherapists Can be Hands on to Aid Correct Gait and Give Massages
Water Height Can be Adjusted to Decrease/Increase Weight Bearing
Water Height Can be Adjusted to Achieve Movements We Require
Speed and Duration Can be Adjusted to Achieve Optimal Gait
Useful for Dogs That Are Nervous about Swimming
Our state-of-the-art, extended water treadmill is sufficiently large for giant breeds, while allowing hydrotherapists and the owner to be in the chamber.
Water treadmill therapy is highly beneficial, as it uses the therapeutic properties of water to improve range of motion, strengthen muscles, and boost endurance, with reduced risk of injury.
The water treadmill gives us variable control over speed, resistance, and depth, which allows for a tailored and progressive therapy plan. Treadmill treatments are personalised for each pet by adjusting the treadmill speed, water level height, time, or distance.
Many conditions benefit from hydrotherapy, especially those disorders in which a pet is reluctant to use a limb, there is a lack of strength, a range of motion, proprioceptive ability, or weight-bearing status.
Reducing the weight put on the bones and joints is highly important in increasing endurance and strength, and helping to facilitate necessary weight loss, without excess stress on the joints. The water provides greater resistance to limb movement than air for a therapeutic effect. The higher the water level, the more your pet's weight is supported, and the greater the resistance they feel.
Using water treadmills can decrease the recovery time from surgery, improve arthritis through low impact exercise, improve neurologic conditions, and increase cardiovascular fitness. The water treadmill can also benefit dogs that do not particularly like water and are unlikely to participate in pool therapy sessions.
While a treadmill is an important rehabilitation tool, more important is the experience and certification of the hydrotherapist operating it and how they use it. All our hydrotherapists have extensive experience with treadmill therapy as well as certifications and advanced training in water treadmill rehabilitation.
We ensure the safety and success of our treatment by always having a hydrotherapist present with your pet, to reassure and facilitate the correct movement.
This direct contact allows the hydrotherapist to monitor your pet's safety and progress, support them, motivate them, perform passive and active range of motion therapy, stimulate normal gait when needed.
When dogs swim, they are not weight-bearing, using their legs differently than when they walk, moving through a greater range of motion. A therapy pool complements the weight bearing and the water resistance of the treadmill. Both are important tools to the hydrotherapist, allowing us to do more on core strength, overall stamina, and conditioning. To ensure the best outcomes of the therapy, our certified hydrotherapists actively facilitate the session, remaining in the pool with your pet throughout the therapy.
Our pool is one of the largest in the UK, this allows for relaxed, natural behaviour and motivation. The water is heated to 30 degrees to ensure your pet's comfort.
The water will help support and lessen the stress on the joints, encourage free movement, and provides a safe environment for exercise. The warm temperature also makes it an effective environment for stretching and massaging physically compromised animals.
Swimming exercises work several muscle groups simultaneously, while reducing pressure on damaged joints and muscles. These low-impact exercises allow the muscles to stretch further than they can on land, improving flexibility and building muscle tissue without aggravating the injury.

Please note that the amount of activity allowed will be determined by your vet and your hydrotherapist
We use the latest technology to assess your pet's weight distribution, stability and centre of gravity and monitor their response to treatment in conjunction with muscle mass, range of movement and gait analysis aided by our underwater cameras. This technology allows you to visualise where lameness exists and how the hydrotherapy is helping your pet's progress.
When a pet has a normal stance, the front limbs bear 60% of the pet's weight and the rear limbs bear the remaining 40%. These numbers are also evenly distributed between the left and right limbs of the pet. In a pet experiencing even subtle lameness, pain, or structural abnormality, these numbers are altered. Using a computerized system, we can objectively evaluate these parameters. This can be useful for evaluating your pet, creating tailored treatment plans, and tracking your pet's progress.

The BEST Episodes of Horace and Pete
Every episode ever - ranked by fan votes!
Last Updated: Mar 1, 2020
Network: Hulu
The series is set in a run-down family-owned bar called Horace and Pete's in Brooklyn, New York. The bar has been owned by the family since 1916 and has been passed down through several generations, always with a Horace and a Pete in charge. The current owners are the 49-year-old Horace Wittel VIII, who inherited the bar when his father Horace Wittel VII died one year earlier, and his 52-year-old cousin Pete.
#1 - Episode 10
Season 1 - Episode 10 - Aired Apr 2, 2016
The first half of the episode is set in 1976. Horace senior (Louis C.K.) is abusive and controlling towards his wife Marianne (Edie Falco) and children; he forbids his wife from seeing her sister Abbie (Deborah Offner). In the bar, a broke customer (David Blaine) attempts to scam free drinks with a magic trick. Jimmy (Colin Quinn) and other customers argue about the presidential candidacy of Jimmy Carter. Uncle Pete (Steve Buscemi) humiliates his nephew Horace in front of the customers. Marianne finally walks out on her husband after years of abuse taking Sylvia (Sofia Hublitz) and Horace (Jack Gore), but leaving Pete (Nolan Lyons). The second half of the episode is set in the present. Kurt and other customers discuss Donald Trump.

Walks at Crow Point
A Perfect Day at the Gallery Lodges
Perfect day out at the Gallery Lodges Braunton. Its so sunny and beautiful here.
The sea is warming up, surf is on the way and the sun seems to keep on shining. Just 2 minutes drive up the road from the Lodges we took one of our favourite walks. Past the stunning historic house and gardens through carpets of bue bells and wild garlic.
Over to look at Croyde Bay and then back through the trees down to Saunton Beach for a coffee and a cake and just squeezed in a pasty at the beach cafe. Rested and refreshed we headed back through the dunes to collect the car. Now you would think we couldn't eat any more and life just couldn't get better.
But then we took a short trip round the headland to Down End Car Park and took home a Sri Lankan curry Tambapanni (See food Guide) from the Saturday Take out van and ate it on the Headland at Croyde.
If you are going to stay at the Lodges, just remember the food vans at Croyde Down End Car Park. The sign by the entrance is updated with the van schedule this season.
Saturday is the Sri Lankan Curry and its absolutely wonderful, well cooked and hits the spot every time.
Booking for the Lodges at www.thegallerylodges.co.uk or pm me.
If you want to know where this stunning walk in you will have to visit ud at the Lodges or at the art studio www.petecaswell.co.uk
Our Food Tips for Braunton Area
To make your stay a bit more fun, here are our food tips from the area near the Gallery Lodges, where we like to dine, including some gluten free options. Please do ask for further info.
Braunton top picks
The Riverside Café Pete's favourite all round breakfast, lunch and evening café / restaurant. Very reliable chef and service with some really tasty food at a reasonable price. Lunch club sandwich and the black pudding sausage on the breakfast. Outside of the peak season this place does the most amazing restaurant style Sunday Lunch. Cater for Gluten Free. http://www.theriversidebraunton.co.uk/
First Class French Food although not cheap is on the corner in the centre of Braunton. It has rave reviews. http://lebistroducoin.co.uk/
Wild Thyme Café / Restaurant fun and trendy surf café for coffee, cakes, breakfast and lunch. Our favourite for atmosphere although can suffer from mothers & toddlers sometimes. Has gluten-free options, sometimes including GF scones. http://wildthymecafe.co.uk/
Squires Fish & Chips is a complete all rounder – filling, cheap and perfectly cooked Fish & Chips. BEST VALUE. At peak times you have to queue for the restaurant & Take Out. Try before 6pm at busy times of year. Can't beat their chips they are perfect. The gluten-free among us should try Poached Cod. The chips are always fried separately too.
Siam Bistro if you like Thai try the take-out or eat in. Atmosphere in the restaurant can be a bit quiet at times but staff are nice and food is great. The mixed starter is recommended, best value and Pete's favourite part of the meal. Will do gluten free if you ask (but check the soy sauce)
Stoned Wood Fired Pizza http://www.stoned.org.uk/ Cool new venue with take-out or eat. Proper pizzas cooked in a wood fired oven right in front of your eyes. Mouth watering toppings, and seasonal menu. Not to be missed. Gluten free base and vegan cheese also available. The best coffee in Braunton. Offers online orders and local delivery. Next to Squires Fish & Chips.
SQ a new pub and restaurant in Braunton getting some good reviews. The live music on certain nights makes this a popular venue. http://sqdining.uk/bar/sq_bar_restaurant_braunton_devon.php
Tambapanni, Sri Lankan Food at Braunton. Our favourite food choice in 2017 returns for the 2018 season. Simply heaven. We eat here every week! Authentic Sri Lankan Food cooked with a passion. Served from their food van at Croyde and Braunton on certain days of the week (usually Friday and Saturday). It's not the cheapest take out curry but I rate it among the best. Delicate flavours, meat, veg, gluten and dairy free and Vegan options. Heaven on a plate. Check out their facebook page for times and days. Don't miss it. https://www.facebook.com/tambapannicurry/
As if one Sri Lankan Food option wasn't enough here is another. Not quite as amazingly tasty, but close. If you get a sunny day with low winds sit and eat your curry on the beach and you could well be back at your favourite beach in Asia. Not in Braunton but top pick if you like authentic Sri Lankan food – Meat and Veg options. Barricane Beach Café, 20 min drive away at Woolacombe. Seasonal and weather dependent so do check on facebook https://www.facebook.com/Barricane-Beach-Woolacombe-163881457003060/
The top pick is a choice between The Riverside and Wild Thyme on the right and the left as you walk into Braunton. Both different to each other and both great for different reasons. Wild Thyme stands out for its juices and smoothies. Pete prefers The Riverside but then we really like the Fruit smoothies in Wild Thyme. As you walk further into Braunton there are more cafes, such as At One with more breakfast options so take your pick. As we said earlier, Stoned is our top pick for a morning coffee.
Blue Groove in Croyde and TheThatch Pub Croyde also do breakfasts if you fancy a drive. Another great coffee and cake stop is The Stores at Croyde next to the post office. https://www.thestorescroyde.co.uk/
Sunday Lunch
Out of season The Riverside do amazing Sunday Lunches (and we mean really amazing) but you have to be hungry.
The Williams Arms is pretty reliable but a bit more of a walk (so best to drive), on the other side of Braunton but does a popular Sunday Carvery. The Aggi Inn nearer the village centre also does a great reasonably piced home cooked pub style Sunday Carvery. There are many pubs in Braunton which all do food and beer but we're yet to try. http://www.williamsarms.co.uk/.
http://www.theaggibraunton.co.uk/ also ok for Sunday Lunch, very reasonably priced.
Country Pubs & Georgeham.
If you want more of the country pub experience and some great food try the two pubs in Georgeham. A bit of a drive so best to call and book ahead, about 10 to 20 mins but well worth it for that cosy country pub vibe. The Kings Arms – http://kingsarmsgeorgeham.co.uk/ and The Rock Inn –http://therockinn.biz/.
Live Music
The Thatch at Croyde is popular place with live music. For a bit of younger atmosphere try The Thatch at Croyde which has a fun and lively young / surf atmosphere and reliable, but a little expensive, pub food. Live music is on most weekends which makes it a really good night out. This is one of those must see pubs being part of the surf culture so many regulars to the area head straight here for their first pint. Check out the facebook page for any live music.
Saunton Road Studios just 10 minutes walk up the Saunton Road toward Braunton also has live music. If you are a music fan this small, unusual venue may prove interesting. Check out what live music is on the website – http://sauntonroadstudios.co.uk/
SQ Bar in Braunton opposite Squires chippy has live music on certain nights. Check out the listings. http://sqdining.uk/bar/sq_bar_restaurant_braunton_devon.php
Sea Food Options
If you are by the sea and want to sample the sea food:
Sands On The Beach at Saunton Beach. This has gone up in the ratings recently. On the beach. Great food and lots of locally sourced sea food. A real one to visit and out of season they do some offers on lunches. One of the few restaurants on the beach. Pay by the hour car parking at the beach now makes this a realistic option for an evening or lunch. Interesting modern menu. Not cheap but location is good. Lobster is a key feature and steak along with other locally sourced fish. Its one of the few beach side restaurants. I am putting this one on my favourites list for sure. Great place for a coffee and a gaze at the sea. https://www.beachsidegrill.co.uk/
Cheaper cafe option below https://www.facebook.com/sauntonbreak/
Riverside restaurant always has a good fish option on the menue. SQ in Braunton has some sea food.
The only dedicated fish restaurant in the area I know of is Fat Belly Fred's in Barnstaple (5 miles away) which receives good reviews. They really know their fish and get local fresh deliveries so you can be sure of the best catch of the day. The scallops are great. Gluten free options. http://fatbellyfreds.co.uk/.
Squires Fish and Chips is a must if you like your Fish and Chips.
Croyde Cafes
Blue Groove and The Stores in the centre of Croyde. Park at the village hall by the hour. Blue Groove does great meals and and now The Croyde Stores cafe is competing for your business with lovely cakes and light lunches.
Sandleigh National Trust café & Baggys Café are both at the start of the Baggy Headland near the National Trust Car Park. Nice headland walk and some good cake and coffee options. Great afternoon tea option too. Sandleigh always has a gluten free pasty, cake and scones.
Down End Cafe, on Down End near the Croyde Bay. Check out the surf and get a coffee. http://parkingcroyde.com/the-drop-in/
Other Braunton Restaurants / Pubs
http://www.sqdining.uk/ Modern restaurant & bar in the centre of Braunton. Not my cup of tea but some of our guests have enjoyed it and given some good feed back on this.
https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g551629-d2199832-Reviews-Ebrington_Arms-Braunton_Devon_England.html Pub at Knowle, gets good reviews.
Further Afield up to ¾ hr drive & Walks.
Harbour Deli Combe Martin my favourite breakfast. Great breakfast and coffee for a very reasonable price and a counter of superb home made cakes for afters. Then take a walk up to hangman and back. See maps in the Lodge. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g551660-d4178654-Reviews-Harbour_Deli-Combe_Martin_Exmoor_National_Park_England.html
Barricane Beach Café Woolacombe. This is perhaps one of my gems of the area if the weather is good. A bit of a drive but great authentic Sri Lankan food on the beach. Cheap and characterful. The menue is fixed and you sit on the beach to eat it but it is first class. Veggie or meat options. https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g551703-d2665967-Reviews-Barricane_Beach_Cafe-Woolacombe_Devon_England.html
National Trust Café at Riversmeet at Lymouth. Great location and some nice food and a great walk up the river starting in the village. See maps in the Lodge.
Hunters Inn Headdon Valley. Pub / restaurant in a great location and a beautiful walk to the beach or up around the headland. See maps in Lodge. Narrow scenic roads to access, plenty of parking. Not the cheapest pub but great location.
Marwood gardens and Cafe. If you want to get away from it all, here is the place about 20 min drive, peaceful valley and gardens with an old fashioned cafe run by volunteers. Go on Sunday and have a bargain afternoon tea at the village hall in real old Devon ways served by the WI.
http://www.moransrestaurant.co.uk/ A great Thai restaurant at Westward Ho, a bit of a drive, very tasty, but I think it uses msg so do check this.
Sri Lankan Curry at the Beach and Sunset Walk to Morte Point.
Yum – Probably the coolest & tastiest day out you can have.
Opens around 5pm to 7.30pm and serves up the most amazing Sri Lankan curry you will ever have in the UK.
Sit on the beach to eat a delicately and fragrantly spiced curry while watching the setting sun and lapping waves.
Meat or Veggie options, served from the beach hut on Barricane beach. Take a bottle of wine and your sunnies.
Then top it all off with a stunning walk round Morte Point.
About a 20 min drive from the www.thegallerylodges.co.uk to Woolacombe.
This place is my favourite curry stop in the UK and beats all the others hands down, providing the weather is ok though.
Combe Martin & Hangmans Walk
One of my favourite mornings is to get up and set off up to Combe Martin about a 20 minute drive away.
Then take what I consider is the best breakfast in the world.
Its a little unimposing cafe near the beach called the Harbour Deli, on the left as you walk down the High Street to the beach.
A cooked breakfast and a coffee here costs about £5 and it is always perfect and great value.
Then after a great breakfast stock up on all the homemade cakes which I usually spend all morning drooling over.
They do a bread pudding which will feed an army and a selection of traditional home bakes your gran would be proud of.
Having consumed all these calories there is a perfect hill opposite to walk them off. Head up to Hangman's peak and then back through a beautiful little stream back to the village, a couple of hours should do it.
A detour off to Wild Pear Beach (Can be steep a tricky at the bottom where the steps sometimes wash away – be careful) is an added bonus and a chance to eat all those cakes. Check out the maps in the Lodges for directions.
If you visit in July August you will get the treat of your life with the hills resplendent in the most beautiful purple heather and Gauze profusions of colour.
Simply magic when set against the jaw dropping cliffs plunging into the Bristol Channel and the chugging white clouds. Can't beat it. And that's the breakfast…
Lynton & Lynmouth North Devon
Lynton and Lymouth in North Devon is one of the most stunning coastal trips you can take from the Gallery Lodges.
Its about a 40 minute drive and is best suited to non beach days.
The advantage of this area and the closer Hunters Inn is they offer a variety of walks sheltered from the South Westerly Winds and rain.
At Lynton the walk up to Watersmeet where there is a National Trust Cafe is in a steep wooded valley and the walk along the river is perfect on any day.
On wet and windy days this can provide the perfect escape from the weather and give you a superb walk for you money, and you may barely notice the weather above with the stunning sculpted oaks and crystal clear waters rushing by.
You can approach this walk from the car park at the bottom at Lymounth or at the National Trust car park at the top which gives a shorter walk.
Combine this walk with a walk through the Valley of the Rocks at Lynton and a drive from Lynton through the valley of the rocks along the coast road to Hunters Inn and Combe Martin.
Stunning but narrow so avoid with large cars or if you can't reverse or in very precious cars.
This walk is also great on a sunny day as well and the harbour is a real treat to look round.
Other great walks are Hunters Inn where you can walk to the beach at the end of the river about 3 mile return and fairly sheltered. Combe Martin up to Hangman and back, great views.
Hunters Inn at Heddon Valley to Lynton Cycle ride
Probably one of the most stunning coastal cycle rides in England. You can start the ride at the Hunters Inn at Heddon Valley in Exmoor National Park.
You can extend this ride by starting at Combe Martin, Ilfracombe or for really long ride from The Gallery Lodges at Braunton.
Starting at The Hunters Inn you may need a stiff drink to tackle the steep climb out of the valley. To avoid this park at the parking areas nearer to Lynton.
Once you have climbed the hill through the woods you get great views across the hill tops to the coast
Soon you reach the coast and the stunning vistas begin of the amazing North Coast.
Woody bay is a fun detour if it s hot for a swim, or hang on for Lee Bay further on.
The descent down to Lee Bay near Lynton (not the one near Wolacombe which is a great ride also) is a real treat and if like me the main focus on the trip is a great cafe don't rely on the beautiful cafe at Lee Bay. They have quite a short season. But don't worry there is a more reliable cafe just a mile up the next hill with a lovely garden with large portions of pudding pies.
Once down in Lee Bay climb up through the Valley of the Rocks past the Lee Abbey Christian retreat, probably the most scenic place to try your hand at some religious pursuits.
At Lynton check out the historic cliff railway and if you need to stretch your legs further descend the steep road into Lynmouth.
The way back is a real treat as from Woody Bay you take the old Victorian Carriageway which hugs the cliffs and bluffs all the way back to the pub at Heddon Valley.
From Heddon Valley there is also the stunning short walk out to Heddon's Mouth Cove.
If you get it all right you get your rewards right here at the splendor of the Victorian Era Hunters Inn, which together with the Victorian Carriageway and Woody Bay formed the start of a very ambitious Victorian Holiday Resort to rival Ilfracombe.
Woolacombe to Putsborough Cycle Ride from The Gallery Lodges
Cycle ride starts at The Gallery Lodges and climbs over the tops through the back lanes into the views open up over the ocean.
Then the stunning drop down into Woolacombe. High speed and great fun but be careful. Then stop for a tea in Woolacombe or head back to Putsborough.
Extensions to this ride, from Woolacombe could go further North up to Mortehoe, Lee Bay, Ilfracombe, Combe Martin and back via Mullacott Cross then taking the long downhill all the way back to Braunton. Feeling fit then follow the coast road on the North Coast right up to Lynton, what a stunner, but a lot of ups and downs and a long way.
You can just about do this trail on a road bike but needs care and less speed. Stone trail pictured here, you need to go on the edge to avoid the bumpiest stones.
Heading up towards Putsborough.Trail gets a bit narrower here. After heavy rain could be tricky on your road bike, but I've done it. Worth it for the views.
Hang around at the beach cafe for the inevitable sunset at Putsborough. Paintings of these Putsborough sunsets at www.petecaswell.co.uk
If you come on another day it might look like this.
You could come back with your surf board and surf this magical beach the next day. Avoid bank holidays and busy weekends as the traffic can be a killer on the narrow lane access.
See if you can find this photo in the paintings below.

Epic Skiing in North Devon
As Autumn is here and winter is approaching you can get your first taste of the snow and a sneaky early season ski and snowboard at the Gallery Lodges in North Devon.

By Shantel Williams-Miller
My name is Shantel. I was born and raised in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands. I came back to St. Croix to get married to my loving husband, Anthony Miller. I chose home because I wanted my husband's family to learn my culture and see what my island had to offer.
I got engaged July 1, 2014 in Atlanta, Ga. I started to plan my wedding in September 2014. I told my family in St. Croix, I wanted to be married on the beach and my brothers recommended The Palms at Pelican Cove. I got in contact with Mark and Julie and the rest was history.
They were so nice and in every detail, I fell in love with the people and the place. The food was to die for. If you are looking for the perfect place to be married with an awesome atmosphere, The Palms at Pelican Cove is the place.
I was recommended to contact Glenda Carrasquillo, her business is called Party Perfection. When I called her and told her who I was and what I was planning, she listened and took my idea out of the box and made it more than what I was planning. Glenda stayed in contact with me and my family with every idea she had and she was very easy to work with.
Now that the wedding is over we remain friends. So, brides if you are looking for a detailed person who will listen and make your ideas bigger than what you expect, please call Glenda at Party Perfection.
My wedding cake was designed and made in St. Croix by Cecil Williams. I showed Cecil the cake design that I wanted and he made my dream come true.
The music for the wedding was provided by SupaTrakz Sound. If you are looking for that DJ that plays everything to satisfy your guests this is the right person. I got in contact with Termaine, I told him what type of guest was attending the wedding, and he told me, "don't worry, I got this," and he did.
My hair was done by Denise Daniels, she did an awesome job. Ladies, if you need your hair done and to remain excellent even after the wedding, this is the right person for you.
For my wedding I wanted a solo singer to perform while I walked to my husband during the ceremony. The person that I got was Leon Lafond from St. Thomas. If you want any song sang, this is the guy. He has a great voice, a great personality, very easy to work with and he is a good listener.
We had local entertainment performed at the reception by Ay Ay quadrille dancers. We got in contact with KC Henry, and the rest was history.
Finally, the best photography in the Virgin Islands is Denise Bennerson, she was very helpful and very detailed.
During our stay, our taxi driver was very good to us, his name was Hollywood. If you want to know the history of the island, he is a great tour guide.
My pins-on were made by Clara's Special Occasions in Sunny Isles and my flower arrangements were made by Luz James florist.
My wedding experience was excellent, we have a lot local businesses and entertainers from St. Croix and St. Thomas. We need to believe more in our locals, give them the business and also give them the chance. I am very happy that I used my locals and my wedding was very memorable.

A perfect course to understand all senses of plants in a straightforward way and I must admit the way professor Daniel chamovitz helped me to better acknowledge this course was satisfactory for me.

Interesting course. Although some of the questions being tested in some of the modules including module three did not coincide with what was being taught. There were questions on the quizzes that were not covered in any of the lectures.
por Claire R•
Mar 22, 2018
Maybe this course deserves 3 stars rather than 4 because it has some problems--but I really enjoyed it and learned a ton.
Problems: 1) The Professor is obviously learning how to teach via this platform as he goes along making the first few lessons much more confusing than they need to be
2) The book has been updated but the course has not
3) Some links to external content are broken--It's easy enough to find other YouTube videos that cover the content but it's a glitch
4) And, the biggest problem for me--as a professor some of his quiz questions fall into the "gotcha" category--meaning they are more about how the question is exactly worded rather than a test that lets you figure out if you're understood the content and remembered it correctly
But if you're interested in learning the material, the course is well worth taking.
por Damien J G•

The content was extensive and complex; often a bit too complex and not elaborate. Very brief, unintelligible parts were quizzed. It was often hard to understand my Professor.

It is a very emosionante course, demanding and at the same time fun. Without being scientific, nor handle technical terms, it is very easy to understand and learn, even for non-English speakers.
But if I would like the exams, which present multiple answers, have the opportunity to know which or which are the correct answers to the question, since when there is still to complete the correct options, do not guess! , without knowing whether or not there is an appropriate answer within the options.

The Course was interesting enough for me to go for the Part II of the course as well. The final quiz still mesmerizes me, I could not get a few answers even after reviewing the entire syllabus, checking on the net etc. Probably after completion atleast if you couls share all the answers...Thanks

I loved everything except the quizzes and final needed more grooming. Not with correct information, but with the set up. Besides the spelling mistakes and the "incorrect answer" text clearly displayed as one of the answers, they definitely needed a second and third look. Another tweak is if there is only one correct answer, don't set it up as if there is more than one. Keep the single answer questions as radio buttons, not squares.
por Christina R•
Oct 22, 2019
I really enjoyed this course and I found most of the information fascinating. I was not at all a fan of the quizzes and final exam. The questions are more about the wording than the information. They're designed to trip you up rather than test your knowledge. And I absolutely loathe "check all that apply" questions. Other than that, the course was really great, and I'm thinking of going on to the next.

Despite getting a little bit lost in some technical details, I thought the course was still worthwhile and interesting, and i learned stacks of stuff that I should have know all my life. Well presented and entertaining, and just about the right demand on my time.
Some of the tests were a bit hard going because I felt that multiple answers made it more difficult to learn from wrong answers. I would have preferred more questions with a higher % requirement.
This is the second course I have done by these folk (I did part II first). They are good courses. Hope they decide to do one on pollination some time. Thanks.

Great class. Professor Chamovitz is a very gifted teacher. He uses the media very well. The content is very well organized, the explanations very progressive and given at the right level of detail for an introduction. After taking this course, you will never look at your plants the same way. It's fascinating. The treatment of the philosophical questions (Do plants see? Do they remember?...) is a little weak. There are philosophers working on these issues. It would have been great if Prof. Chamovitz had invited one/some of them to take part in the course. But I'm quibbling here...
por Jan M•
Jun 28, 2019
I loved this course. I think it is the perfect course for someone who wants a challenge, but does not want a totally complex course. The course was challenging, and Professor Chamowitz is the coolest fellow out. It was sometimes tough, but if you want that qualification, you'll go out and complete this course. This course has taken me six months. Thank you for the course, and my certificate. Understanding Plants offers what it promises. I am now much more understanding of our plant friends. I still don't have a green thumb though!

I had a great time following this course. The lecturer really makes plant understanding fun and (relatively) easy. Great lessons with many practical explanations, lots of experiments and science history.
I am a biotechnologist working in molecular biology and my studies were mostly focused on humans / mammals. I currently work on plants and wanted to deepen my knowledge of the basis of plant physiology. This course was a great introduction to plants!
Highly recommended.

This is an enjoyable, interesting, eye opening course, yet it is not an easy one to pass. I have not done much biology before, and some of the terminology and processes described were a little demanding. I had to go through the lectures more than once. Professor Daniel Chamovitz is interesting to listen to. You do not go to sleep! I wish he would offer a third course on Coursera soon. Thank you professor for the knowledge you were so generous to provide.

This is a wonderful course! There are minor problems in transcripts and in language usage. The course is very informative, the professor is very knowledgeable, light, and gives out the information in a delightful way, making the learning process fun fun fun! I am already heading to his next course, Fundamentals of plant biology! If the course seems interesting to you, you have to take it, i am telling you, you do, you will enjoy every bit of it!
por Alison C•

I really enjoyed this and learnt a lot. I'm a zoologist currently studying botanical illustration, so this course was a great way to brush up on my botany. I read Prof Chamovitz' book a couple of years ago and liked his style, and this course is similar - very engaging but thorough. Some of the tests, especially the last one, are quite tough but I think that is a good thing, you have to pay attention to the material if you want to pass.
por Andrei I•

The content included is exactly as described. The professor is just the right amount of playful, and makes sure to repeat and explain the more complicated parts. Video lectures include images to help visualise and clarify what is being talked about. There is only one personal thing I am not a fan of, but that one thing is still not enough to justify a less than 5-star rating for such a clear course. Plants deserve more credit.

I actually loved the course and the teacher was great but the final quiz made me want to throw my computer at the wall a bit and cancenl my university application. I do not like 'trick' questions. Where there are more than one answer that is scientifically correct but the question is only referring to one scientists discovery. I dont really care who discovered what, no offense Darwin. I just want the scientific facts
por Eleanor R W•
Jul 19, 2017
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to take this wonderful course. It was laid out in a really interesting way; i very much enjoyed the focus on how plant senses were discovered - I never knew how prolific Darwin was in plant biology!
Awesome course, thank you for giving me access to it (and a certificate) for free. As soon as I get some more free time I hope to take the next course in the series.

Aug 08, 2019
In my case where im currently changing proffesion from a programmer into plants generally speaking, i find this easy to understand with short and consise lectures where only the important things are discussed. Professor Chamovitz doesn't randomly dive on a specific topic, which would cause confusion. I rarely comment on videos and courses but this one deserves all credit it can get.
por Connie S•
Mar 27, 2019
I really love the class. It taught me so much things about the plants surrounding us. It's like filling the hole of the terrible science education at my home town where most people could mix up spores and deadly insects and then throw their beautiful ferns into the rubbish bins. I wish my home town could also have a wonderful science class like this.

Hi, I would appreciate some suggestions for the following problem; I've got a character with two basic animations, Walk and Idle. During Walk animation you can see the side of the character, while during Idle animation the character is facing the camera. The flip method functions correctly while walking. However, it somewhat disfigures the character during idle animation when the scale is set to -1. I'd like to lock the character's x scale to +1 when he's idling. My solution was to add the following animation behavior to the Idle animation.
public class KeepScaleBehaviour : StateMachineBehaviour {
private Transform playerTransform;
private GameObject player;
float updatedXscale;
override public void OnStateEnter(Animator animator, AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, int layerIndex)
player = GameObject.FindWithTag("Player");
playerTransform = player.GetComponent<Transform>();
if (playerTransform.localScale.x > 0)
playerTransform.localScale = new Vector3(playerTransform.localScale.x * -1, playerTransform.localScale.y, playerTransform.localScale.z);
override public void OnStateExit(Animator animator, AnimatorStateInfo stateInfo, int layerIndex)
if (Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") > 0)
updatedXscale = 1;
updatedXscale = -1;
playerTransform.localScale = new Vector3(updatedXscale, playerTransform.localScale.y, playerTransform.localScale.z);
This behavior script seems to be doing the job, but I have a feeling that there's a simpler or more efficient way of solving this issue. Feel free to share any ideas. Thanks
Answer by unity_oEoMzC5COK722Q

I suggest you put in a check in the flip function of your character controller script—an if statement or a boolean—that checks whether your character's rigidbody.velocity is greater than zero, and if so then the flip function can be executed. I haven't tried it myself yet but I believe this is a viable option. The problem with your method is that firstly, it is costly to the performance if you have multiple character's with the same state machine behaviour (the calculation is made every-time character enters idle state) and secondly there's a lot of potential for unwanted behaviour, especially when you add more animation layers or clips.
Thanks for the answer. I actually did run into problems with my solution later on. I tried what u suggested. However, as soon as the character starts moving to the left, the scale is set to -1 again. So even if my X velocity reaches 0, the scale is still at -1 when I let go of the movement button and the idle animation starts playing. I think I might be able to elaborate on your idea a little bit. I also tried to set the scale to +1 when the velocity reaches 0 but that only inverts the flip functionality :D
