As someone who loves to pump some iron, I also find that it's easy to get set in a routine and coast through my workout. This was OK when I was trying to stick to a consistent routine, but after weight training on a regular basis, I was ready to take things to the next level. The body is an intelligent machine. If you impose the same demands day after day, it kicks it into cruise control and will often plateau. To initiate change, you have to keep the body guessing.
Experiment with different reps, sets and rest intervals. If you usually do three sets, add in a fourth. If you usually lift 12 reps, try increasing the weight and doing 10. Another method is to perform your workout in a circuit. Instead of completing three sets of an exercise in succession, do one set of each exercise and then repeat the circuit. This is a great way to keep your heart rate elevated the entire time since you're moving quickly from one exercise to the next with little to no rest in between.
Add tempo changes. This is one of my favorite ways to change up my strength routine. Try lowering the weight for three counts and lifting up for one; lower down for two, up for two; lower down one, up for three. This also works for bodyweight exercises like squats, lunges and pushups.
Try a different type of weight. If you usually lift dumbbells, substitute them with a kettlebell, barbell or resistance bands. Your body will feel the subtle difference in the type of weight!
ADD weight. I'm guilty of skimping on this one. I bicep-curled 8-10 pound weights for years and couldn't get up to 15-20 pounds until I TRIED. Even if you only get a few reps with the higher weight, you can switch to your usual weight for the rest of the set. Your regular weight will feel little heavier, too!
Add in cardio blasts. This is an effective way to keep things exciting and increase your heart rate for a higher calorie burn. In between strength sets, try some plyometric movements, like jump squats, jumping lunges or burpees. You could also add in a short run (.25 mile) or row (500m).
I hope this helped with some ideas to change up your routine. Please stop by the blog for more fitness tips! We'd love to see you over there.

The architecture Practice Patrick Schweitzer & Associés responded to the international call launched by the Government of Rwanda in March 2012 for the construction of the new Faculty of architecture in Kigali. This school covers an area of 5 600 square meters and has the capacity to accommodate 600 students. It is located in the University of Rwanda's College of Science and Technology campus in Nyarugenge District. The works started in early 2017 and were completed at the end of 2017.
The building is the result of a global site analysis. Its architecture is inspired by the territory and by colors and shapes found in Nature. The four natural elements are represented in the conception of the building: Fire: orange color, Water: inner garden, Air: circulations, and Earth: lava rock and rammed earth. We created prisms inspired by Rwanda landscape and topography.
architects to be encouraged to use local resources. Ceilings and joineries are made of local wood, slabs were cast-in-place and traditional removable formwork were also used, thus fostering local sectors. Halfway between traditional and contemporary architecture, the building is based on a simple and didactic architecture in an African developing country where population is expected to double by 2050.

Both Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) and EmoTrance are further techniques used, where relevant, to enhance your treatment.
In essence, in the late twentieth century, a body preserved in a glacier was discovered with tattoo marks on it mapping out relevant acupuncture treatment points. Gary Craig developed Emotional Freedom Technique, after discovering the tapping of all 14 acupuncture meridians. His discovery statement is that basically……"the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body's energy system"….. If you therefore have a distressing memory or thought, it causes a disruption, or a "short circuit" in the body's energy system (i.e.meridian system). This in turn, causes negative emotions and anxieties.
Therefore, our feelings are emotions. Everyone wants to control/master them, delete them or simply make them go away. When feelings get stuck, for example after experiencing an unpleasant situation you may feel hurt in the stomach, our energy is disrupted leading to reduced functioning of our potential/creativity.
Emotional Freedom Technique then uses a system of "tapping" into a blocked emotion through working on the 14 major energy points.
Any tapping you do stimulates the meridians, relaxes you, calms you, and makes you feel a little better, and of course, by focusing on and tuning into the blocked energy, it releases it. After all, there is a direct relationship between the quality of a person's emotions and their physical health and hence, when we experience a negative emotion we can often hit a downward spiral. When something is stuck or blocked somewhere it is often likened to a dam on a river. Any energy disturbance that is stuck, can be released because there will be a valve somewhere to help establish the free-flow of energy once more.
Emotional issues on relationships: at the core of most relationships lie strong and overwhelming issues such as fear, low self-esteem, feelings of jealousy, feelings of abandonment, feelings of hurt, feelings of being unloved, feelings of being trapped or even desperate.

As the first order of business, Rockefeller sought to excoriate naturopathy, or diet and nutrition as preventative medicine. All of this transpired while he and his billionaire buddies were actually treating themselves naturally. Recognizing the potential profits to be made by cornering medicine into allopathy*, would-be-competitors Andrew Carnegie and JP Morgan allied behind a common goal. Aside from the obvious tax write-offs that come as perks by running a charity foundation, pharmaceuticals are oil-based. Ergo, Rockefeller became a philanthropist by day while stuffing his oily pockets at night.
The year is 1900 and the American Medical Association, known as the AMA, is weak, unorganized and has very little money and very little respect from the majority of the population. Herbalists, Homeopathic Doctors and Chiropractors were the therapists of choice at this time and flourished, while medical doctors were struggling just to make a living.
However, by 1910, the AMA was out of money and didn't have the funds to complete their makeover or should I say takeover. Around this time The Rockefellers had joined forces with The Carnegie Foundation to create an 'education fund'. They were approached by N.P. Colwell, who was the secretary of the Council on Medical Education. His request to them was to finish the takeover of the health industry that they had started. Rockefeller and Carnegie both agreed to finish what the AMA could not. Simon Flexner, who was on the Board of Directors for the Rockefeller Institute, proposed that his brother Abraham Flexner, who knew nothing about medicine, be hired for the project. Despite his lack of medical knowledge, the plan was to 'restructure' the AMA, otherwise the American Medical Association, to 'certify' medical schools based solely upon Flexner's recommendations.
For the AMA to survive, what was known to be the 'Council on Medical Education' was established in 1904. They stated that their mission was to "upgrade medical education." This, in itself, was a noble goal – if it were true. However, the Council on Medical Education had actually devised a plan, otherwise known as the 'Evil Plot', to rank all the medical schools throughout the country. Their guidelines were dubious, to say the least. For instance, just having the word 'homeopathic' in the name of a medical school reduced its ranking because the AMA asserted that these schools taught 'an exclusive dogma'. Otherwise, all viable competition became the target; otherwise on they were now on the hit list.
"Abraham Flexner was engaged by John D. Rockefeller to run around the country and 'evaluate' the effectiveness of therapies taught in medical schools and other institutions of the healing arts. Rockefeller wanted to dominate control over petroleum, petrochemicals, and pharmaceuticals (which are derived from 'coal tars' or crude oil). He arranged for his company, Standard Oil of New Jersey to obtain a controlling interest in a huge German drug cartel called I. G. Farben. He pulled in his stronger competitors like Andrew Carnegie and JP Morgan as partners, while making other, less powerful players, stockholders in Standard Oil. Those who would not come into the fold "were crushed" according to a Rockefeller biographer."
Eventually, Flexner submitted his report to The Carnegie Foundation entitled 'Medical Education in the United States and Canada,' which is also known as the 'Flexner Report'. Not surprisingly, the basis of the report was that it was far too easy to start a medical school and that most medical schools were not teaching 'sound medicine'. Let me translate this for you: These natural health colleges were not pushing enough chemical drugs manufactured by, guess who? The companies owned by Carnegie and Rockefeller.
"The privileges of the medical school can no longer be open to casual strollers from the highway. It is necessary to install a doorkeeper who will, by critical scrutiny, ascertain the fitness of the applicant, a necessity suggested, in the first place, but consideration for the candidate, whose time and talents will serve him better in some other vocation, if he be unfit for this, and in the second, by consideration for a public entitled to protection from those whom the very boldness of modern medical strategy equips with instruments that, tremendously effective for good when rightly used, are all the more terrible for harm if ignorantly or incompetently employed."
What followed was a systematic debunking campaign on part of the AMA which used coercion and propaganda to displace all medical schools teaching anything other than allopathy including but not limited to Ayurvedic medicine, Chinese medicine, homeopathy, naturopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, and other conventional forms of therapy. The AMA spat in the face of the conventional medicine of the era, arbitrarily relabeling it as "alternative medicine." The Flexner Report declared that any discussion of patients who had successfully healed from "alternative medicine" was anecdotal and those patients probably dodged a bullet by not using allopathic treatment. This is tantamount to trying to prove a negative. It is tacitly asserted on page 17 of the report that fewer doctors are needed to better control the medical system and phase out undesirable information by creating an exclusive club.
Carnegie and Rockefeller began to immediately shower hundreds of millions of dollars on those medical schools that were teaching drug intensive medicine. Predictably, those schools that had the financing, churned out the better doctors or should I say, 'the more recognized doctors'. In return for the financing, the schools were required to continue teaching course material that was exclusively drug oriented, with no emphasis put on natural medicine. I love when a plan comes together. As we all know when it comes to free money, there are always strings attached.
In this case, the Rockefellers and Carnegie's were more than happy to place one of "their guys" on the board of directors at each and every medical school that accepted their funding. The end result was that all accredited medical schools became heavily oriented toward drugs and drug research. It was no longer normal to be Natural. Health now had become patented and synthetic.
By 1923, the 22 homeopathic 'medical' schools that flourished in the 1900s dwindled to just 2.
By 1925, over 10,000 herbalists were out of business.
By 1950, all schools teaching homeopathy were closed.
In the end, if a physician did not graduate from a 'Flexner-approved' medical school and receive an M.D. degree, then he or she could not find a job. This is why today M.D.s are so heavily biased toward synthetic drug therapy and know little about nutrition, if anything. They don't even study what makes a healthy body; they study disease.
Modern doctors are taught virtually nothing about nutrition, gentle daily cleansing, wellness or disease prevention. Expecting a medical doctor to guide you on health issues is sort of like expecting your local butcher to perform surgery on you. It's simply not an area in which they have been trained.
Since the Flexner Report was released, have we seen any progress? 100 years ago if a medical doctor saw a case of cancer he would call on his colleagues because it was felt that they may never see this again, since cancer was so rare. Diabetes was practically unheard of, atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) was nonexistent, and the term "heart attack" hadn't even been coined yet.
Today, cancer is an epidemic. According to the WHO in a 2010 study, 41% of the people alive today will face a diagnosis of the "Big C" (and that number was pre-Fukushima). Heart disease is rampant, and diabetes is at epidemic proportions. Infant mortality is up; birth defects are up. Even closer to home, over 66% of North American adults are overweight. What did our great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers eat? Fresh vegetables, fresh fruits, bread from fresh grains, meat, butter, and cheese from grass-fed cows and eggs from free-range chickens. None of it was processed with drugs, chemicals or additives.

Found in mature and secondary rainforests, and deciduous forests.
Most of the species diet consists of leaves, but they do also eat fruit and flowers.
There are two main types of sloth - the two toed sloth and the three toed sloth. The Hoffman's sloth is of the two toed variety. Each of the feet has long curved claws that are used for gripping onto branches when hanging upside down in the treetops. The claws also act as formidable weapons against predators. The sloth's fingers and toes have grown together into one fold of skin and have consequently lost their function. Due to their upside down lifestyle the sloth's back muscles are weak in comparison to other mammals, however they do have very strong shoulder, neck, hip, arm & leg muscles.
Gestation lasts between 355 and 377 days, and results in the birth of a single young. Newborn sloth are able to cling to the mother's underside with their long claws. They begin to take solid food at 15 to 27 days, and are fully weaned by 9 weeks.
Habitat destruction and the illegal pet trade are two of the main reasons why the wild population is in rapid decline.
Rescue and rehabilitation centres help to care for sloth who have suffered due to the pet trade or the loss of their habitat.

The Inexplicable Massacres
by Peggy Thomson
September 18, 1982. A day that will live in infamy. At least as far as many Lebanese and Palestinians are concerned. And yet it often feels like I'm the only person in America who remembers it. For it was on this day thirty years ago that the world first learned about what would soon become known as the Sabra and Shatila massacres.
As word leaked out there was horror, outrage: Over a three-day period, as many as 1,700 Palestinian refugees had been murdered by Lebanese Christian militiamen in the squalid camps just south of Beirut.
The massacres made major headlines, even in the United States. And yet the story was overshadowed to a certain extent by the death of Princess Grace of Monaco in a car crash. Not surprisingly, those of us in Lebanon who were reporting on the unfolding tragedy at Sabra and Shatila saw no comparison in importance between the two stories.
The moment we heard about the massacres, many of us in the press corps blamed ourselves for failing to act on our initial suspicions that "something" might have been going on inside the camps. The Lebanese capital had been convulsed by violence since the assassination of Lebanese president-elect Bashir Gemayel four days earlier, on September 12. In response, after bombarding the Lebanese capital all summer in an effort to remove PLO leaders, the Israelis had reinvaded West Beirut.
On the evening of September 16, at least a day and a half before the massacres were discovered, a colleague said he'd heard something about flares being fired in and around the camps. He asked if I wanted to go to the camps with him. I said no, a decision that haunts me still. Upon his return, he said that when he got there the camps had been sealed off by the Israelis. He was refused entry, which, for his own safety, was probably a good thing. Otherwise, who knows? He too might have become a victim.
On September 18, a beautifully clear Saturday morning, I was down on West Beirut's famed Corniche interviewing people about the reinvasion of Israeli forces that had taken place following Gemayel's assassination when all of a sudden a voice from the bureau came crackling over the cameraman's walkie-talkie. The message was filled with static, and yet I heard something that sounded like the word "massacre."
Unbeknownst to us, the killers apparently left the camps several hours before we arrived. It never crossed our minds at the time that had we gotten there sooner, like my colleagues Robert Fisk and Loren Jenkins, we might well have come face-to-face with the killers.
Years later, while comparing notes about that terrible day, I told Robert Fisk that the moment I stepped inside the camps it felt like I was stepping onto the set of a macabre western. The first thing I saw were several bodies lying in the middle of one of the main streets. For some reason, it reminded me of the aftermath of a terrible saloon fight. Only the people lying here weren't actors about to get up from where they'd fallen to film another take. One of the images Fisk and I remember most vividly–although he probably saw it hours before I did–was that of an elderly man in his pyjamas who had obviously been mercilessly gunned down in cold blood.
As the crew and I continued walking through the camps, we saw other scenes too horrific to describe. I remember one: a group of men, their bodies half-under a parked vehicle, as if they'd been trying to hide. I was struck by the fact that they seemed so defenseless. Almost as defenseless as the women and children. From the beginning the crew and I knew without saying as much that we would have to live with whatever we were seeing for the rest of our lives. And yet obviously whatever trauma we might have been experienced was nothing compared to what family members of those who had been murdered would have to endure. Many, if not most, have had no choice other than to continue living out their days in the squalid camps where their loved ones were so brutally slain. Unlike us, they didn't have the luxury of walking away.
At least 1,700 dead–men, women and children. Possibly even double that number. The estimates vary wildly, and probably always will. After thirty years, the Sabra and Shatila massacres remain as incomprehensible as ever, although many of the details eventually became clear: According to Israel's own official report, the Israeli military ringed the camps and then allowed, and even encouraged, their Lebanese Christian allies to conduct their murderous spree.
Still, no one can say with any certainty why the massacre happened. No one has ever been charged with the crime, much less convicted. Revenge is certainly a motive: During the Lebanese civil war, there had been countless massacres of Palestinians by Christians and vice versa. Other theories abound: that the massacres were conducted by the enraged Christians forces to avenge Gemayel's assassination, even though the Palestinians had nothing to do with the Christian president-elect's death. Another is that the Israelis were hoping that the massacre would push the inhabitants of the camps into Jordan, where, in a two-pronged approach, Palestinians from the occupied West Bank camps could somehow be forced out to join them. Still another is that the massacres were permitted in part to prove to the Palestinians and the Lebanese that the United States was powerless to protect them. Whatever the reason or reasons, the Sabra and Shatila massacres were at the very least a display of the purest evil imaginable that may very well have been carried out by the perpetrators simply because they could.

UTIG Ph.D. student Stefano Nerozzi was recently awarded an Endowed Presidential Scholarship by the George Marshall Endowment. We caught up with Stefano to learn about his work and studies here at UTIG.
What is the focus of your studies? I study the north polar region of Mars, specifically the stratigraphy and morphology of the units that make up the region Planum Boreum. I do this to produce observational constraints which I can then use with Mars general circulation models specifically tuned to this region. My final aim is to determine which physical processes and driving forces are responsible for building Planum Boreum, in particular the onset of water ice accumulation in the North Polar Layered Deposits (NPLD).
What led you to UTIG?
During my undergraduate studies at University of Bologna (Italy), I decided that I wanted to go abroad to the US for an exchange experience; I had to choose where to go and UT Austin was one of the options. UT has a strong reputation in oil and gas exploration which is what I was interested in at the time. At the same time I met a fellow student from my school, Enrica Quartini, who was getting her master's and researching ice on Mars with Jack. I thought that was very interesting and wanted to do that. I came here in 2012 and met with Jack, he showed me the research he was working on and I decided to start with the stratigraphy of the north polar region of Mars.
What sparked your interest in planetary science?
While at University of Bologna, I was initially interested in oil and gas exploration. As an exchange student at UT Austin, I was taking classes on seismic interpretation and sequence stratigraphy, and I realized that it was very similar to research that I was doing with Jack Holt on martian ice. The change from oil and gas to researching what I do on Mars isn't that big, you're just switching from reflection seismic to radar, the techniques employed to characterize geologic units on the two planets are often the same. In fact, you can draw many parallels between the two. I really liked planetary science much more; I've always been interested in planets since I was a kid, mostly thanks to VHS documentaries that I watched with my dad.
You were recently awarded a Presidential Endowed Scholarship, what does it mean to you to be selected?
It is an honor. Jack asked me to submit a CV for the scholarship and I was thankful for being considered for it. It was a great surprise when I got it, I was really happy. It's really about the award itself, the money is a big help, but for me it means a lot to be recognized for what I do at UT.
What is your favorite part about studying and working at UTIG?
The feeling that I get working and researching here is very professional. There are no distractions, it is easy to focus on my work. To me campus is a place to study, UTIG is a place to do research. I'm surrounded by very smart people who continuously push me to do better and better, it's a very stimulating environment.
One thing I was scared of was to ask questions, especially those that I thought were stupid. So that is my biggest advice – ask the questions. When something is not clear or you have doubts or you aren't sure how something works, just ask. Even if it feels like a dumb question, ask. It's normal to not know everything about it. Don't be afraid of looking too much like a newbie.
I want to continue in academia. I just don't know exactly if I want to do more research or teaching. Based on my TA experience I would like to do more teaching, but I'm not sure yet. I definitely will do a post-doc first and want to continue in planetary science, even looking at other planetary bodies besides Mars.

Jury selection for Des Plaines man accused of attempted murder now underway
Jury selection for the trial of 20-year-old Des Plaines resident Daniel Dion began last Monday, October 31. Dion made a not guilty plea by reason of insanity to attempted murder charges in relation to allegedly stabbing and critically wounding a 24-year-old Vernon Hills woman outside the Century Theater in Deer Park.
Although the burden of the proof of the crime always lies with the prosecution, proving an insanity plea is on the shoulders of the defense. Under Illinois law, a jury or judge can find an accused not guilty by reason of insanity if the accused is ailing from a disease or defect of the mind "such that he lacks the substantial capacity to appreciate the criminality of his conduct."

Derrick Rose's lawyers say accused rape was consensual
The legal counsel for 28-year-old New York Knicks player Derrick Rose insisted on Wednesday, October 5 that the woman bringing rape charges against Rose willingly had sex with him at Rose's mansion in Beverly Hills. The plaintiff is also accusing two of Rose's friends with the rape of an impaired woman.
Rose's lawyers said the text messages the woman sent to Rose after a party indicated that the woman was lucid and not intoxicated after leaving Rose's mansion. A clip from a deposition showed Rose saying "No" when asked if he understood what consent meant. The plaintiff's attorneys argued "His friends may have pushed this issue, but all three certainly knew that she was severely intoxicated, she could not consent and she would have never consented."

Sexual abuse lawsuit against scout leader allowed to proceed in court
Illinois Appellate Court decided on Friday, September 30 that a civil lawsuit lodged by former members of the Oak Lawn Boy Scout troop in Cook County can proceed to trial. Their trial concerns the members' claims that they were sexually molested by their scout leader, Thomas Hacker, in the 1980's.
The lawsuit was filed in 2013 by 16 former Boy Scouts of America – who are now adult men – after the agency released a list of names of hundreds of pedophiles in the scouting system. The complaint alleges that the BSA oversight committee made it possible for Hacker to gain access into the upper echelons of the organization and molest many young boys.

Man walks free after DNA evidence exonerates him from murder charge
Fifty-five-year-old Chicago resident Mark Maxson was released from Stateville Correctional Center last Tuesday, September 27 after a Cook County judge ruled Maxson did not commit his crimes. Maxson went to jail for the 1992 rape and murder of six-year-old boy Lindsey Murdock, but DNA evidence showed he was actually innocent.
The Cook County District Attorney's Office supported exonerating Maxson, noting that no physical evidence linked Maxson to the crime. In addition, defense attorney Elliott Zinger said a re-investigation discovered Maxson's confession was merely coerced by members of the Chicago Police Department under John Burge.

Urbana man sentenced to prison time for performing sexual act on unconscious woman
Twenty-one-year-old Urbana, Illinois resident Markel Brown was sentenced to three years of imprisonment on Thursday, September 8 for performing sexual acts on a woman who was passed out in a house in the 1100 block of Austin Drive in Urbana on Feb. 3, 2016.
Judge Tom Difanis disgusted with the act, said it was "outrageous" and that the sentence was necessary to prevent others from "taking advantage of a woman who is passed out".
Despite a three-year sentence, Brown could be released after a year if he attains maximum credit for good behavior and time already served. He will have to register as a sex offender after being released.
The girl testified to drinking before arriving at the house where she and Brown were going to hang out. She is not sure whether it was Brown or other 21-year-old Urbana resident, Gerald B. Jackson, who assaulted her.

The first thing I want to say is thank you to all the incredibly awesome people I've met while playing Magic and hanging out in game stores. The people in the gaming community are truly what make playing so much fun and I've always enjoyed seeing the same familiar faces at FNM or other big events over the years. You know who you are, 'sup nerds!
I also want to give a huge thank you to everybody who is taking the time to support Nerd Swag just by being here! Like I mentioned in my Kickstarter video, this is literally a dream come true for me to launch this project so I'm super appreciative of everybody who's helping spread the word!
I've made it Nerd Swag's founding principle to embrace what makes us as "nerds" unique and make it our own. And if I've learned anything from getting to know some really great people while playing Magic, it's that we're all so different, yet something as simple as a game gives us something in common and I think that's pretty cool.
If you're reading this and you play a different trading card game, tabletop, board game, etc., I know we all have that special place in our hearts for our local game stores and all the friends we've made thanks to those places so thanks to y'all too for helping keep the nerd community going. And for those that are just here because you like what's goin' on, then thanks for that too, truly! I got nothin' but love for y'all...matter of fact, I got your back.

Folk, Revived
Songs from the '60s, relevant today.
Drawn from the folk boom of the '60s, this robust collection of protest music evokes a bygone era, but the message of the music has retained (or perhaps regained) its urgency. The performers draw on a rich heritage witnessed by Jack Elliott's engaging version of Woody Guthrie's "1913 Massacre" and Odetta's haunting take on "No More Auction Block for Me." Dylan scholars will note his duet with Pete Seeger on the obscure "Playboys and Playgirls." But Let Freedom Sing isn't just a history lesson: The anti-war sentiments of Phil Ochs' classic "I Ain't Marchin' Anymore" are as compelling and pertinent as ever.


Nottingham Forest Under 21s coach Charlie McParland is delighted to be back in football and says his return to The City Ground came as 'a bonus' for him.
The Scot spent ten years as part of The Reds' backroom staff before taking the managerial reigns at Notts County in 2007, but now he's back and looking forward to the challenge ahead.
Speaking exclusively to Forest Player, he said: "It's nice to be back out on the training pitch working with players, management and staff and it's a bonus to return to a fantastic football club like Nottingham Forest.
"The ten years I spent here were a great learning curve for me – starting at the bottom with the Under 13s and eventually working my way up to caretaker manager alongside Frank Barlow.
Although his title of Under 21s coach dictates that he will be heavily involved in the development of Forest's youngsters, McParland will also have regular involvement in first team matters.
He said: "I do little bits with the first team and travel with them on a match day. I coach the Under 18s/21s and act as a go-between for the Academy and Billy Davies so all parties know everythig that's going on.

Top Ten Libraries in London
Being a sprawling metropolis and one of the most literary cities in the world, it's no secret that London has some amazing libraries. Too many, in fact, that we've struggled to narrow down the top ten. Whether you have a spare hour to chill, have some studying to do or just fancy marvelling at some beautiful British architecture, these are our picks for the best libraries in London.
Functions as a museum as well as a library, the British Library has a constant revolving door of exhibitions throughout the year covering all subjects, from language itself to different genres of literature to history. It's more than impressive enough as a library, too, holding the largest collection of catalogued items in the world. To back it all up, the building is an absolute beauty, too.

The London Library
Anyone can become a member of this collection, which has over a million books. Less overwhelming than the British Library and with classic oak-panelled bookcases and leather armchairs, this is the perfect place for studying or casual reading, and writing! The library also offers free evening tours if you fancy a look around.
Bethnal Green Library
Looking like an old manor house, Bethnall Green's library is full of charm. Stocked full of children's and adults' books, this is where to go to find a new classic, re-discover a childhood favourite, or just get out from the hubbub of East London.

Canada Water Library
Sleek and modern, Canada Water just beats Bethnal Green for prize of 'Best Library in East London'. What's more, Canada Water Library is not just a place for books; its culture space hosts live music gigs and theatre performances, and the library even holds writing groups to help you hone your creative talent.

Bishopsgate Institute Library
Bishopsgate Institute specialises in the history of London, with special focus on the radical, feminist, and LGBTQ histories. This makes Bishopsgate great for research, but also just for a visit – its glass dome is beautiful and, with free entry available to everyone, this is the ideal place to come if you find yourself in Central London with a spare hour and nothing much to do.

Maughan Library, King's College Strand Campus
This one's so beautiful that it's been used as a location for a number of films – think The DaVinci Code and Johnny English. As a University Library, this one isn't easy to visit, but if you're studying at any London University you should be able to access Maughan's services and interiors with your student card – you'll have to check in advance though! For those who aren't a London student dying to see the famous interior, you can always pop in during one of King's College's open days.

UCL Main Library
Like Maughan, this is a University Library, meaning it's not open to the public. If you want to use the library and you're not a student, you can sign up for external membership or, if you just want to peek around, wait for one of UCL's open days. However you manage, this one's definitely worth a visit; with all the amazing artwork dotted around, especially the statue of St Michael overcoming Satan, this almost feels more like a museum than a library at times.

Vaughan Library, Harrow School
Designed in the Victorian Gothic style, Vaughan Library is one of the most beautiful buildings in the Harrow School Campus, a private school in North West London once home to literary giants like Lord Byron and Anthony Trollope, Vaughan Library is perfect for some writing inspiration. Harrow School has four public visiting days a year, but you can book a private visit at any time to see the interiors of Vaughan – but outside is just as beautiful, and the campus is inspiring in itself.

The National Poetry Library
Not for everyone, but the National Poetry Library has two copies of every poetry book published in the UK, so is the perfect place to study poetry, discover new verse or just have some down time on a busy day. It's free to visit and, located in the Southbank Centre next to the London Eye, is the perfect location for a detour when you're already out and about.

Barbican Library
We'll admit we're choosing this one less for the library itself but the building it's situated in. The Barbican Centre near Moorgate is Europe's largest performing arts centre, hosting art exhibitions, beautiful cafes and a library split over multiple floors. You'll need to work or live in the city centre to take out books, but members of the public are welcome to use the music zone, study space or simply browse the books. Go for the free exhibitions on the Ground Floor, and stay for some exploring.

Q: get the size of heap array in c++ Code1:
int * a;
a=new int[222];
cout<<"the size of a is "<<sizeof(a)<<endl;

Output1:
the size of a is 8

Code2:
int * a;
a=new int[222];
cout<<"the size of a is "<<a.length()<<endl;

Output2:
error: member reference base type 'int *' is not a structure or
  union

How to get the size of a heap array? Thanks..

A: The short answer is, it can't be done, at least not in a portable manner.  You'll need to keep track of the array's size separately somehow (e.g. in an integer variable or similar).

A: Use a container instead of a raw pointer:
std::vector<int> a(222);
cout << "the size of a is " << a.size(); << endl;

Q: Importing an Android phone image to an emulator Is there a way to take an image of an android system running on phone and run it on emulator?
I have a client with a certain bug on his phone and I want to be able to take a snapshot or an image of the Android and run it on the emulator to debug it freely without the need to take the phone from the client cause the problem seems to happen only on his phone.

A: You can't do what you want for a couple reasons. For one, getting the ROM image off the phone wouldn't be a trivial matter. In fact, I can't really think of a way to do it at all. Unless this is a Nexus phone or something where the manufacturer has made the images available for download, manufacturers generally don't want you mucking about with system images.
The more important reason is that the software running on a phone expects to be conntected to the physical hardware of the phone: the processor and chipset, the GPU, all the input and output devices, sensors, and so forth. The ROM image has device drivers that talk to all of that. For that image to work in an emulator, the emulator would have to emulate all of those devices well enough to fool the device drivers, which is a very complex thing, and that environment doesn't exist anywhere -- even manufacturers don't emulate their hardware to that extent when developing it. Much of that hardware and device driver environment is manufacturer-proprietary, so it would be impossible (or legally difficult) for someone other than the manufacturer to make that possible.
The Android emulator has a specific kernel image with device drivers tuned to its software emulation environment; what it's got is designed specifically for that environment. The other side of the equation is also true: you couldn't take an emulator system image and get it running on a physical device.

A: In your case, I would suggest you to upload your apk file to testfairy, then you can have the option to trace user's activity with your app, and it also have an error log that might even more useful.
