The first thing you need to know is that this piece probably shouldn't be called "A Beginner's Guide to Hiking in California." A better title might be "A Beginner's Guide to Hiking in Californias." California is home to as many different climates and terrains as you might find in the rest of the continental United States. You might feel like you're hiking in as many as a dozen different regions as you make your way through the vast Golden State. You won't take the same approach to hiking the coastal Redwoods that you would the rocky desert at Joshua Tree. The High Sierras require a different approach than you would take as you navigate Big Sur.
Hiking in California can be overwhelming because there are so many different options that require such vastly different preparations. Rather than make blanket statements about the hikes available in California, we want to introduce you to some of the many amazing outdoor possibilities that the state has to offer. But, before we get started, rest assured that no matter what hike you choose, you'll be glad you made the trek.
CamelBak: Not only lighter than most other hydration options, but there is something about having the tube right in front of your face that motivates you to stay hydrated.
Hiking shirt and pants: REI, Columbia and many other fine outdoor shops will try to sell you hiking clothes. The savvy consumer in you is probably going to be skeptical. Don't listen to that voice. Hiking gear is made to be breathable, but withstand the elements (to an extent). This gear keeps the cold out and the warm in, while drying sweat and rain faster than other clothing.
Hiking shoes: Even if you ultimately decide to buy on Amazon or Zappos, go to a store like REI to get your shoes fitted. You'll want to be incredibly comfortable in your hiking shoes, so trying them on is a must.
Hiking socks: This is the single most important purchase you can make before you get out in the wild. Pick up two pair, so one can dry out while you wear the other.
Flashlight: Prepare to get lost. Bring a flashlight, some food, a compass and a map with you on every hike.
The big knock on California is that there aren't any seasons. This is kind of true for the major coastal cities of Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco. This is very much not the case for much of the state. Winter in Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks means chains on your tires and snow on the mountains. Summer in Joshua Tree or Death Valley means temperatures above 110. Every single state and national park offers average highs and lows for you to consult as you plan your trip.
Park rangers are also available and responsive. I usually call ahead before I plan a trip, and I almost always get a ranger on the phone who is willing to talk with me until long after I'm ready to hang up. If you're looking for something in particular, be it a certain species of wildlife or a hike with the perfect level of strain, they should be able to set you straight. If you're too bashful to chat with a strange park ranger on the phone, there are abundant online resources.
But, before you go digging through digital mountains of information, let's talk broadly about the different outdoor options throughout the state.
Before we really get started, here's a fair warning. People in California like to be outdoors. While you can often walk into East Coast parks spur of the moment and reserve great campsites in the Smokies or Acadia, West Coast parks fill up fast. Reservations in Yosemite are snatched up as soon as they are released. The coastal state parks offer limited space, and tourists planning PCH vacations reserve their sites months in advance. Day hiking can be enjoyed at the cost of park admission, but your trip can be a lot more enjoyable if you stay overnight, which takes some planning ahead.
Some states don't have any national parks. California technically has twenty-six. Three of the largest and most diverse are in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. These three parks are Sequoia, King's Canyon and Yosemite National Park. Though each of these parks offers unique natural landmarks, they offer some of the same hiking challenges.
There is no shortage of trails through these parks, and it would probably take you dozens of trips just to get through the entirety of one park's trails. So, when selecting your hike, don't necessarily stick to the most popular trails. If you hit Yosemite during the busy season, you might feel swarmed by tourists. Popular trails through the sequoia trees get crowded, and King's Canyon gets loaded up with locals as it is a favorite regional haunt. So, do your research ahead of time and pick a trail that isn't too heavily travelled.
Once you've chosen your trail, bear in mind that the altitude and the temperatures vary widely in these parks. A couple months ago, I went on a hike with some friends in Sequoia that took us from a little over 7,000 feet to well over 9,000 over the course of seven miles. The last leg took us about as long as the first few miles, as we huffed and puffed our way through the thinner air. The temperature also dropped roughly thirty degrees from our base camp at 2,000 to the end of our hike.
Don't be afraid of elevations though (unless, of course, you have a prohibitive medical condition). If you are only doing one hike, pick one that ends at a mountain overlook. Only the Rockies offer views comparable to what you'll see in the Sierras at high altitudes. Don't waste your chance to truly see as far as the eye can see.
There are a variety of desert hikes available throughout California. Death Valley, Mojave and Joshua Tree are probably the best-known desert nature areas. Whichever desert park you choose (Joshua Tree is my favorite), you will want to think about some of the same principles before you walk off into the desert with only the clothes on your back.
First off, bring more water. It doesn't matter if you think you have enough, bring more. Winter temperatures still reach 80 degrees in some parts of the desert, and you haven't truly felt dry heat until you get out in the desert sands. Secondly, realize that just because it's the desert doesn't mean it doesn't get cold. You could see snow in parts of Death Valley. And even where winter temperatures remain fairly high, it could get down around freezing come nightfall. Also bear in mind that there is no shelter from wind, so check the forecast beforehand, and be prepared to cut your hike short if gusts are going to get fierce.
It is pretty amazing that California gives you the chance to walk through Endor. The California redwoods stood in as home of the Ewoks, and you can walk the same steps as the furry critters along the northern coast. This verdant area feels other-worldly, and offers some of the most beautiful terrain you'll likely ever see. The first thing you need to know about the redwoods is that there isn't just one place to see them. Roughly a dozen state parks and recreation areas are home to at least some redwood trees. When people talk about going to see the redwoods, they are usually talking about Redwoods National Park (though if you're in San Francisco for the night, Muir Woods might be your best bet).
Redwood National Park hugs the coast, which provides a few unique challenges for hikers. First off, the 101 also hugs the coast, so there are far fewer trails and camp sites than you might think. While the national parks to the east are vast and filled with endless trails, the coastal parks can get crowded as there is only so much room between the highway and the coast. Every trail I walked on there was well-populated and the campsites were filled by noon. Another issue is that it is going to be wetter than you think. Even if you don't get rain, you may feel a mist throughout your walk. This also means more fog. Your scenic view could be obstructed by a thick fog, which may also stop you from realizing just how steep the slope is that you're encountering.
The moist, foggy environment adds a mysterious, lovely quality to the hike, but make sure you have a rain coat and a reliable map just in case.
One of the most breathtaking stretches of highway that you can drive in all of America is the segment of the Pacific Coast Highway that rolls through Big Sur. The rocky coast is the stuff truck commercials dream of. The lovely road presents the same geographical problem you have in the Redwoods, but worse. The PCH hugs the coast and craggy mountains hug the highway, there isn't much room for hiking and camping. If you are trying to hike anywhere but right on the coast line in this part of California, you'll want to hit the state parks that dot Big Sur. These state parks are smaller than the amazingly hike-able eastern Cali national parks, and if you're camping, these coastal parks fill up fast. You'll want to reserve spots in Morro Bay or Montano de Oro State Park months in advance if you hope to pitch a tent.
While Yosemite, Sequoia and even Joshua Tree offer hikes well over ten miles, if you are in Big Sur you're better off planning to string together several hikes under three miles. The rolling hills and craggy coastline is certainly worth it, but just be aware that you might run out of land to hike.
For some California residents it might be more convenient to leave the state than to travel longer distances to far-flung in-state parks. Utah is home to a cluster of national wonders that rival any group in the world. Though Colorado and California often get credit for their natural beauty, Utah gives both states a run for their money. Two of the best hiking parks in Utah are Bryce Canyon and Zion. Both of these parks have trails that make their way through some of the most breathtaking geology in the world. Some trails take you through grottos where you're hiking within a stream. Others take you to precarious peaks. There are trails that take you through winding canyon horse paths. You'll even see trails that walk you right to the edge of mammoth gorges. The parks of Utah shouldn't be missed.
You may not have to go far to find good hiking spots. If you are in or around Los Angeles, there are plenty of options for you without even leaving the metropolitan area. Out in Malibu there is a small chain of state parks that offer some lovely options for beach hiking. Malibu Creek State Park, Topanga State Park, Leo Carrillo State Park and Point Mugu State Park all offer beachside trails that will allow you to get back to Santa Monica by Sunday brunch.
Less adventurous L.A. residents might very well invite you to "go hiking." Be advised that what they probably mean by this is a trip up Runyon Canyon above Hollywood. This is less a hike and more of a walk up a big hill. You are less likely to see wildlife and more likely to see scantily clad starlets taking Instagram selfies on this "hike." The "scenery" is wonderful; don't get me wrong. It's just isn't exactly what you think of when you talk about roughing it.
Angel's Landing, Zion National Park (Utah) – 5.4 miles – Amazing hike, but not for those scared of heights. You have to shuffle along the mountain holding onto chains to finish your journey.
Big Baldy, King's Canyon / Sequoia National Forest – 4.2 miles – Gentle slope leading to a breathtaking view.
Hidden Valley, Joshua Tree National Park – 1 mile – This tiny trail is surrounded by boulders and small mountains to climb in and around for hours.
Peek-A-Boo Loop, Bryce Canyon National Park (Utah) – 5.5 miles – Bryce Canyon is often overlooked, thanks to nearby Zion and Grand Canyon, but the unique geology makes for an amazing hike.
Tokopah Falls, Sequoia National Park – 3.4 miles – Not the most impressive trails, but if you're looking to see wildlife, black bears love to hang out here.
Twin Lakes, Sequoia National Park – 14.1 miles – Scenic, if a little strenuous, climb to two beautiful secluded lakes at a crisp, high altitude.

Als proportionale Schriftart, auch Proportionalschrift, werden Schriftarten bezeichnet, bei denen jedes Zeichen die Breite einnimmt, die es optisch benötigt. Sie stehen im Gegensatz zu nichtproportionalen Schriftarten, auch Festbreitenschriften genannt, bei denen alle Zeichen gleich breit sind.

Beschreibung

Proportionalschriften werden in der Regel angenehmer empfunden als Festbreitenschriften, da die Buchstaben nur den Platz bekommen, den sie von ihrer Grundform her brauchen, und besonders schmale oder breite Buchstaben wie ein I bzw. M nicht "gewaltsam" gestreckt oder gestaucht werden.

Die proportionale Schriftart wird heute wieder überwiegend eingesetzt, nachdem Computer seit Längerem die Rolle der Schreibmaschine übernommen haben, die bis auf wenige Modelle mit einer Festbreitenschrift arbeitete. Eine Ausnahme sind Programm-Quelltexte in Texteditorprogrammen und ähnliche technische Anwendungen, bei denen alle Zahlzeichen gleich breit sein müssen. Die meisten typographischen Regeln sind nur bei Verwendung von proportionalen Schriftarten sinnvoll.

Definition
Als Proportionalschrift gelten alle Schriftarten mit einer variablen Teilung. Hierzu gehören beispielsweise die Computerschriftarten  Arial und Times New Roman. Bei der Proportionalschrift ist der Abstand vom Ende eines Buchstabens bis zum Anfang des folgenden Buchstabens oder Zeichens identisch.

J. Lo to Launch Aptly Named Love and Glamour Fragrance This Fall
By Fawnia Soo Hoo Jun 4, 2010, 9:38am EDT
Share All sharing options for: J. Lo to Launch Aptly Named Love and Glamour Fragrance This Fall
Even if some aren't the hugest fans of J. Lo's recent musical paen to high-end designer footwear, there is no disputing that Jennifer Lopez is prolific in her pursuits. Her latest move is expanding her fragrance empire with the launch of a new scent, Love and Glamour, debuting at Macy's in November. Lopez is personally involved in working with Coty to create the signature fragrance blend, telling WWD that "I drive [Coty] a little bit crazy, because it's always not signature enough. I go back and say things like, 'Can we push the sandalwood a little bit more, can we make a tiny bit more sexy?'" Lopez seems to know what she's talking about, her sixteen fragrances have generated over $1 billion in sales since the first launched in 2002. (So perhaps, we have her perfumes to blame for funding the production of the aforementioned "Louboutins").
Love and Glamour will retail between $27.50 for the body lotion and $58 for a 2.5 oz. eau de parfum. The fragrance is a mixture of scents including italian mandarin, coconut orchid, sandalwood and of course, sensual musk. Which leads us to the rumor about Saturday's impending vow renewal ceremony with Marc Anthony. J. Lo denies the rumor to WWD, but says, "Maybe at the seven-year itch moment, we'll do that. Or at the 10 year. A better number." She does hint that a new album may be completed this year though, so stay tuned (no pun intended).

Q: CEF don't load pages from URL I've succeeded integrating CEF with my wxWidgets application, but It don't render pages when using CefFrame::LoadURL it only loads and renders content successfully if the CefFrame::LoadString function is called.
If the requested URL is not valid or not found it outputs an in-browser error with code=-106
The code calling the CEF:
    CefMainArgs main_args(wxGetApp().argc, wxGetApp().argv);
    SampleCefApp *sampleAppObj = new SampleCefApp(frame);
    CefRefPtr<SampleCefApp> app(sampleAppObj);

    int exit_code = CefExecuteProcess(main_args, app.get(), NULL);
    if (exit_code >= 0)
    {
        return exit_code;
    }

    CefSettings settings;

    CefString(&settings.javascript_flags).FromASCII("--harmony");

    // Initialize CEF for the browser process.
    CefInitialize(main_args, settings, app.get(), NULL);

    CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> cefBrowserObj = sampleAppObj->theBrowser;
    CefRefPtr<CefFrame>   cefMainFrame  = cefBrowserObj->GetMainFrame();
    cefMainFrame->LoadURL("file://home/sameh/Code/wxCEF/resources/app.html");

Output application screenshot:

A: Code -106 from net_error_list.h (http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/net/base/net_error_list.h):
// The Internet connection has been lost.
NET_ERROR(INTERNET_DISCONNECTED, -106)

Try loading the url by pasing it to the CreateBrowser() function and see if that helps. It might be a timing issue, CreateBrowser() works asynchronously, browser/frame may not yet be ready for use when calling LoadURL(). Try using CreateBrowserSync() instead.
EDIT.
There should be three slashes after the file protocol, file://home/czarek/asd.txt generates error in Google Chrome, while file:///home/czarek/asd.txt works fine.

Tonge: "We want to go up."
Dale Tonge insists Barnsley's sole aim for this campaign is to secure promotion from Sky Bet League One.
The Reds are on the road again on Saturday following last weekend's 0-0 draw at Fratton Park against rivals Portsmouth – a result that stretched our magnificent unbeaten run to 14 games.
This time it's a trip Southend United, where Daniel Stendel's side have already triumphed this season in the Emirates FA Cup second round.
Barnsley also won the reverse fixture in the league back in November and another victory at Roots Hall would tighten the Reds' grip on second place.
"We're looking at automatic; we want to go up," asserted Tonge. "We want to win every game – that's our only aim. If we fall short of that, we'll plan for that eventuality when we get there. But our aim is to win every game and, we know if we do that, we've got the opportunity of going up.
"The boys rarely focus on any negatives, so they're a great group to work with because everything is just positive. So I know if there was to be any negativity moving forward that they'd react well and it wouldn't be a problem."
Southend haven't picked up all three points on home soil since a 2-0 victory over Gillingham on New Year's Day.
Chris Powell's side have only won one of their last eight fixtures since then, although they staged a memorable fightback against Portsmouth a fortnight ago.
The Shrimpers, 3-0 down after 31 minutes, turned the game on its head courtesy of a Simon Cox hat-trick in front of the Sky Sports cameras at Roots Hall, and Tonge is wary of the threat posed by Saturday's hosts.
"They've clearly got resilience and outstanding individuals in terms of Cox, who is a wily old pro, you'd call him now – I know he's had a bit of fun on Twitter about that with a Sky Sports presenter," continued the Reds' Assistant. "He's a class act, especially for this level, and it's been demonstrated with his goals and assists and he's an integral part of their team.
"The position they are in the table I think, given a fully fit squad they wouldn't be there; the squad that they have got is capable of being in the play-offs, in my opinion. I think they've been unfortunate with circumstances in their squad this year."
GERHARD STRUBER PREVIEWS FOREST CUP CLASH
Ahead of our first competitive fixture of the 20/21 campaign, Gerhard Struber says virtually all of his squad has a clean bill of health.


Our baling Christmas card is perfect for the farmer who spends most of the summer wrapping bales for winter feed.
Inside message: Have a wonderful Christmas and warm wishes for the New Year.
This greeting card is a 5 x 7 high quality 350gsm glossy card, comes with a white envelope and wrapped in cello wrap.

Anthroposophical Leading Thoughts
A collection of short essays by Steiner for the members of the Anthroposophical Society. They were written near the end of Steiner's life and in a way summarize, in highly concentrated form, the whole of anthroposophy. Each essay ends with a short summary of its contents and these are known as the "leading thoughts." The leading thoughts are mantras and can be used quite fruitfully for meditation.
The Life, Nature and Cultivation of Anthroposophy [Bn 26.1]
A collection of 18 letters written to the members of the Anthroposophical Society in 1924. These letters first appeared in a supplement to the German language periodical "Goetheanum Weekly" and in the English language version "Anthroposophical Movement." This book is also known as Letters to the Members, I.
The Michael Mystery [Bn 26.2]
Translated by Marjorie Spock These letters and guidelines were among the last writings by Steiner. Their significance has yet to be fully recognized. This is a human guidebook for the 21st Century. It is a collection of 29 letters to the members of the Anthroposophical Society. These letters are in addition to the 18 letters contained in the collection, The Life, Nature and Cultivation of Anthroposophy, cited above. This book is also known as Letters to the Members, II.

PHOTO: Townsville Grammar School archivist Bill Muller, Yeronga Dutton Park RSL president Kevin Fitzgerald and Townville RSL president Bill Whitburn with the diary of George Pierce Foot from World War One. (ABC News: Kathleen Calderwood)
Diary of a WWI digger discovered 100 years after it was written
From abc.net.au 14th April 2015
The Foot family sent four boys off to the First World War, but only two came home. Now 100 years later one of their diaries has returned to north Queensland, after being discovered in a Brisbane RSL.
Private George Pierce Foot was the third brother to go to Gallipoli, enlisting on the same day his elder brother Henry was killed during battle.
The diary was unearthed at the Yeronga Dutton Park RSL last year, during a review of their memorabilia.
It was a mystery for RSL president Kevin Fitzgerald who had no idea when or how they came to have the diary in their collection.
"No-one knew the gentleman concerned, no-one knew if he came from the area, no-one knew how we came across the diary," Mr Fitzgerald said.
With the centenary approaching the RSL decided to track down the owner, eventually finding his name in war records in Canberra.
They then managed to contact George's nephew Lux Foot and the diary will now go on display in Townsville RSL.
"[The family] were very pleased to hear [about the diary]," Mr Fitzgerald said.
"I don't think they knew very much of the history of the Foot family in the First World War.
"The contribution that they made, out of five boys, two were killed, one was seriously injured … they have really contributed to the history of Australia.
"I'm pleased to be able to return it to Townsville."
Foot brothers came from Charters Towers cattle station
The Foot brothers hailed from Cardington Station, a cattle property near Charters Towers in north Queensland.
On his enlistment papers, 29-year-old George wrote "bushman" as his occupation.
His brothers Henry and Alex were both killed at Gallipoli in 1915.
George served there briefly before being transferred to Egypt.
Their younger brother served towards the end of the war, while the family's youngest was not old enough to fight.
Bill Muller, the archivist at Townsville Grammar School, where all five boys were educated, has researched the diary.
"The diary has a lot about his time in Egypt," Mr Muller said.
"What they were doing, including swimming across the Suez Canal and training the horses, [because they were] in the fifth light horse.
"Part of the diary is talking about the cattle on the property, it's not all about the war itself.
"Then I think it was September 16 of 1916 he was wounded and spent the rest of the time in hospital."
In January 1917 George was sent home to Australia.
Making friends from across the world
While his writings are not long and detailed, George's diary shows the bonds made between soldiers of all nationalities.
"One of the pages he writes down all his friends and their addresses and it's quite interesting because [they come from] Rhodesia, England, South Africa," Mr Muller said.
"These are people that he met, so it showed you that it was an all encompassing sort of conflict."
While the memory of the Foot brothers is now cemented in north Queensland, Bill cannot find out what happened to George after the war.
He assumes he returned to the property but can not be sure.
The remaining family members have agreed to leave the diary on display at the Townsville RSL.
Townsville RSL president Bill Whitburn is happy to take on the responsibility.
"It's a significant artefact," he said.
"It's important that we maintain those linkages from World War I and this is an ideal opportunity for us to cherish that moment."

Welcome to the WMA
The Williamstown Maritime Association (WMA) is a not-for-profit body that was set up to establish a working maritime precinct, Seaworks, on the old Port of Melbourne Authority site in Melbourne's historic port of Williamstown.
The WMA established the famous Pirates Tavern in 2003 when a small band of maritime enthusiasts from the Shenandoah Society met to discuss holding a wooden boat show at the site.
With Parks Victoria approval, a massive volunteer clean-up effort took pace. The first Boat Show took place in early 2004 under the leadership of Leigh Goodall.
Then-Premier Steve Bracks gave his endorsement to the event, and encouraged Parks Victoria to work with the WMA. A second Boat Show followed in 2005, for which the WMA transformed a derelict shed into the fully licensed Pirates Tavern, built entirely by volunteers. Over one hundred thousand dollars had been raised for improving the site.
The WMA has proven itself to be a unique community asset, locally as well as to Melbourne itself.
The Seaworks Foundation was initiated by the WMA to oversee management and development of the site, and the WMA works closely with the Foundation.
To this day the WMA still promotes the vision set out a decade ago for the development of the site. Our aims and objectives are as relevant today as they were then.

The novel tells the love story of Elizabeth Bennet and Fitzwilliam Darcy. Elizabeth is the second of 5 sisters, born of a somewhat wealthy marriage that made their life in the countryside.
Due to their economic situation, and as was logical at the time, Mrs. Bennet, Elizabeth's mother, dreamed of marrying her 5 daughters to well-established men and thus ensuring the future of the family.
For that reason, she is excited when she hears the news that Charles Bingley, a wealthy bachelor, rents a farm in the neighborhood to spend a season with his sisters. It was an excellent opportunity to marry one of his daughters to him.
The ideal opportunity comes when they receive an invitation to a public ball in the nearby town of Meryton, where Mrs. Bennet's wish comes true: Bingley falls for the obvious charms of Jane, the eldest daughter.
However, he was accompanied by his sister, Caroline Bingley, and his good friend, the millionaire Fitzwilliam Darcy, and their impression was no less important.
His sister objected instantly, on account of Jane's lower class, disapproval soon after joined by Mr. Darcy.
But, Jane and Bingley weren't the only ones to meet, Elizabeth and Darcy did too. She perceived him as an arrogant and cold man, even more so after listening to a conversation between Darcy and Bingley, where he suggests approaching Elizabeth, but Darcy tells her that she was not pretty or charming enough to him.
This hurt Elizabeth's pride, who would retaliate by intervening defiantly in some conversations that same night and in future events. Although deep down she was attracted to him.
Two things became clear after the ball: Jane and Bingley had fallen in love, and Elizabeth had her ego hurt by Darcy.
Although Elizabeth's feelings did not change, at a later evening in Netherfield, Darcy already showed his admiration for her, they danced and exchanged words of reproach, but the conversation was dominated by Lizzie's rudeness, as she was affectionately called in her family.
A series of unfortunate events began to strengthen Lizzie's negative view of Darcy. On a visit to the home of her friend Charlotte, she corroborates through a mutual friend that Darcy had a hand in Bingley's decision to get away from her beloved sister.
This infuriated her, there were already too many misfortunes around this man that embittered her existence.
Nonetheless, for Darcy the story was different, each encounter with Elizabeth made him admire her more. Now he knew her unconventional ideas, her great interest in reading and cultivating passions, as well as her detachment from material things, and her magnetic beauty.

How might we make low-income urban areas safer and more empowering for women and girls?
Phase: Research Missions: CONDUCT INTERVIEWS
An Interview with Divyata Ved.
Divyata Ved is a financial analyst who I work with on a regular basis. I thought it would be educational and beneficial to try to understand the challenge from an individual in a different socioeconomic class.
Written by Tawei Joseph Lin
Updated on 09:04, Mar 17, 2014
What medium of transportation do you use to get around town?
Auto Rick Shaw is the most common means of transportation for me. Fortunately, my daily travelling to office takes only 15-20 minutes one way. This is affordable given the short distance. Else, Local trains and buses are the most common and affordable transportation for the people in Mumbai.
Are people in your community from different backgrounds? What characteristics are common to many people there?
The community comprises of people from various economic as well as religious backgrounds. Common factors across the spectrum is fast-paced Mumbai life leaving no time for personal activities. Travelling eats a lot of time of a person's daily life. Common entertainment factors are Bollywood, Cricket and festivals. A lot of significance is attached to festivals as well as wedding events in our day to day lives.
Would you say that you feel safe in your neighborhood? Why or why not?
I feel safe in my neighborhood during the course of the day, including my residence as well as office area. The only concern I face is travelling alone using a public transport during late hours or early morning hours. Limited crowd on the roads makes me feel uncomfortable as in case of any unfortunate incidence, I won't be protected anymore. Also, the way back to my office is little lonely with no street lights and no residential complexes around. It is unlikely for me to travel alone after 10.30 pm, even using a private vehicle, unless accompanied by a male companion.
To add on, there have been instances when one should be extra careful during certain festivals wherein we have massive processions on the road. There are people who take undue advantage of this and commutation becomes difficult. At times, I feel unsafe entering an ATM at a secluded place or during late hours. We encounter eve teasing at times on the railway platforms, buses and on roads. Many a times, I chose not to respond to such behavior, anticipating situation to worsen further and with the fear of not getting the public support as well.
Recently, we hear of cases, wherein thieves target women drivers at the traffic signal . They work as a team. One of them would acts as if he has been injured by your car. They will drive your attention there and you would lower down the glasses and correspondingly, one of his accompanies steals valuables from the other side.
What are some of the visual cues you look for in a new place that help you know whether or not you're in a safe environment?
No. of people around
Presence of Street Lights
Behavior of people around ; e.g. strangers trying to be overfriendly.
Tell me about a time when you went somewhere despite feeling unsafe. What was it like? How did you cope?
I was travelling way back home in an auto rickshaw accompanied by my sister at around 10 pm. Two people on a bike, tried to snatch away our purses while we were seated. However, they could not succeed as we were quick to respond and not let it go. I had heard of such kind of incidence, but had never experienced it.
If you were going to design a safe place in a community, what features would you think are necessary?
Safe Transport facilities, with security officials during wee hours.
Special focus on having women security officials in the overall security force
Communication facilities e.g. Telephone booths nearby.
Patrolling during late hours.
Avid use of the mobile application related to women security. There are existing applications, which on a click of button will sent her location to four of its registered contacts indicating high alert.
Availability of Pepper Spray which is currently not readily available.
Secured Parking facility. Parking for Women employees on the ground floor in a multi story corporate building.
What safety measures exist in your community that would be good to replicate elsewhere?
Women employees in our office are provided home drop after 9 pm, followed by a confirmation security call. In if we don't avail a home drop, we get phone calls from our security confirming our safety.
Channel V has launched 'With You' mobile application for women safety.
Presence of security officials in ladies compartment in local trains in Mumbai during late hours. However, there have been many instances of officials not being present.
What safety hazards do you see in your community that affect men more than women?
Honestly, I can think of anything serious here. Yes, but men are equally threatened by theft related cases. At times, in order to protect their women accompanies, they are likely to face issues from large groups causing nuisance.

2010-07-02: The Nightmare
Summary: Connor has another Nightmare, Robyn doesn't mind comforting him.
Log Title: The Nightmare
//Xavier Mansion - Connor and Robyn's Room //
Robyn's side of the room is cluttered but not messy and has a bit of a creepy feel to it. His bed has black sheets with a Nightmare Before Christmas pillow and comforter. On the wall is a Nightmare Before Christmas poster and a poster showing the art of Edward Gorey. On his end table is a collection of little figures that seem to have a deamonish quality to him. On his desk are more little figures like a tree that instead of leaves has hands and a snake eating someone holding a 'help me' sign. He's got a few art books on his desk along with his regular schoolbooks. A cased cello sits in the corner of his side of the room.
The tell-tale signs of it are obvious to Robyn… Connor's fitful tossing and turning, sweat on his brow and arms… and the fact that the items on the nightstand next to him are floating a few inches off the ground. Getting up and away from the bed, gravity is lighter in the room by half of normal, the power bleeding out of Connor as he continually mumbles something incoherent, pain and concentration written on his face…
Robyn has been staying up later and later working in the art room since it's the summer and he can sleep in so he hasn't been asleep long before the familar sensation of Connor's powers snap him out of sleep. He sits up in bed and looks over at his friend and it's not a feeling of inconvenience, it's one of concern and worry. To Robyn, his friends can't inconvenience him. Getting up he has to deal with the lack of gravity as he walks over to Connor's bed. "Connor." He says reaching out a hand to put it on his friend's shoulder and give a gentle shake. "Connor." He says again, this time a little bit louder.
The physical contact startles him awake, and the real rules of Gravity on planet earth reassert themselves as he looses a startled cry and falls two feet onto his mattress. Eyes blazing blue-green energy to the point that even the whites have been eclipsed cast an eerie, television-like glow on the room as he says something for a moment in a language neither of you have heard. Connor then reasserts himself and immediately mumbles what he always does when this happens… 'Sorry…'
The gravity adjusts to normal and Robyn stummbles a bit and rests a hand on Connor's bed to stay upright. "Don't be sorry, you okay?" He says as every time he tells Connor to not be sorry. "What was it this time?" Robyn asks as he puts his hand out to rest on Connor's shoulder as he knows his friends nightmares are not something that are just 'nightmares' or even 'night terrors'.
Trying not to sob, Connor just rocks there back and forth a few times, before saying, "I was alone… these people with blue skin came… they took me and they started doing things to me. I was in a lab, and people were screaming… then it was my turn to scream… and I watched my skin turn blue like theirs. Then there was this… this… in my head… and… I couldn't fight it…" Sitting up some he reaches into his nightstand and takes out a bottle of water, uncracking and taking a sip before sealing it once more.
Robyn sits down next to Connor as close as he can, and puts his arm on his back and just lets him talk. "It's okay, you're not in a lab, you're here, in our room." He reaches up to ruffle Connor's hair, the top and back. "And nothing's stuck in your head." The tone is almost like how a parent would talk to a child to comfort them but unlike a toddler with a nightmare, Robyn knows this is worse and something more than just a bad dream. He give Connor a quick side hug before going to open the window to get some fresh air in the room even though there is air conditioning.
Connor whispers out, "They… changed me… then sent me back here… made me collect people… people I knew… but there was this voice in the back of my head… 'He Loves Us.' Over and over again… and every time I heard it, I lost a little more of myself. He Loves Us…" Shaking his head once more and taking a drink again, he seals the water bottle, and winces at the sunlight pouring it, "OW! THE HELL!"
At the shout, Robyn quickly closes the blinds cause he was only trying to open the window to let air in, not light. "Sorry." He mutters as he goes back to sit down next to Connor. "You're still you Connor, the fact that you can remember that and not be under the influence you're still you." It's always like this, Robyn trying to reassure him that his life wasn't the one in the dream if it helps or not.
Going back into the drawer, shaky hands take out the pills that Jericho had perscribed to help him with this, and pops one, swallowing practically dry before the water is applied. Connor looks at Robyn, and gives a faint and slightly pained smile, "Thanks… at least this… wasn't the zombie one again… god I couldn't look at meatloaf for a week." Panting as he pushes himself out of the bed and goes to his computer to start trying to type this one out… but then stumbles and stops, turning back and landing on the bed next to Robyn, "So… how was your night?"
"I'd consider that a blessing most meatloaf is gross." Robyn says as he's thinking mostly of his father's cooking. His Dad does try to cook, and even enjoys it, but he's just not good at it. With a yawn he answers Connor. "Okay, I was up in the art room all night working on…stuff." He doesn't say what stuff yet as it's a project in the making for Connor. "Just got to bed so it's not like you really woke me up." He says with a grin.
Connor chuckles softly and pushes at you a bit playfully before finally groaning and laying back fully on the bed, "You promised me you'd be in bed by three, Robyn… broke your word. I'm going to get like some kind of shock collar alarm system for you if you're not careful… ARGH…" Stopping himself, from the memory and the swearing, "They used those on us… collars… it kept me from porting… when I tried to escape." Slapping the bed once, he growls softly to himself and then sits up, "Have you at least topped off from Addison yet? You said you were skipping yesterday."
"Oh I got somethign from Jono yesterday after a while I couldn't deal with the headache." Robyn says as even twenty-four hours without 'feeding' gives him a headache that makes a migrane look like a mild headache. "Also I don't like dealing with the memory problems that happen if I end up skipping." He says with a frown as if it's not Addison it's Jono and with Addison and his pheonix force, he prefers Jono as he can feel the want that builds up from 'feeding' from that power. It's almost addicting. "I was in bed by three plus three, which is six? And at least you've escaped from the dream now. When do you want to get breakfast, bacon is always a good cure for nightmares?"
Connor smiles up at the ceiling, "Bacon cures everything? Really… hell, at this point I'd try anything… but are you sure… I don't know if I want to go out. I feel like they all stare at me… like everyone knows. God, I wish we had a room with a private bathroom. I hate walking the hallway. Even if I port… someone's there." Mumbling almost to himself as he then tries to coax you off his bed to change the sheets and make it once more.
Robyn rolls off the bed and flops over on his own, half preparing for Connor to kick him off that in a bit to make his bed as well. "I can always do the bathroom scout, go down there, let you know if it's all clear, and you can port in but are you gonna go on a cleaning binge in there or something else?" With Connor he knows it can be either or. "Don't worry this room can be your own fortress."
Connor snaps out, "I Don-…" Stopping himself he takes a couple breaths, and then says softly, "I just want to shower without the eyes on me. I just want a day without people… why couldn't this have been tomorrow…" Hands and body moving mechanically to strip the bed, flip the mattress, and get new sheets to remake it all. Even creasing and tucking the sheets… but like many times he has to stop and start. So what could be a couple minutes, stretches to almost ten before he then says, "Would it be weird if I told you… I think Heather likes me. I don't mean like-like… like you and Jordan Like… more like… I don't know…"
"A crush? No, I don't think it's weird." Robyn says as he rolls over on his side clutching his vampire teddy bear, the only stuffed animal he owns. "We're at a school packed with mutants were it's normal to not go home for the summer or weekend, there isn't a day without people here." His voice sounds like he's bothered by it too. "And Heather huh? Well how do you feel about her?" He asks more curious than anything because he's always found Heather a bit strange but not in a bad way just she's strange. It's just who she is.
Connor finally finishes the bed, but the blanket is pulled and then redone six times before finally to his brain's satisfaction, and turns to face Robyn, sitting on the floor, "We're like… opposite sides of the same coin. She gets me… and I get her. I don't think it's anything more than it is… someone who makes sense." The bottle is downed completely and then crushed before dropped in the in-room recycling bin, vying for space with the impressive collection of crushed cans of Dr. Pepper, "Before meeting her future self? Didn't even really say word one to her… but after that… it's like somehow we started needing to be around each other. Like it was important. But I'm not going to question it. I won't feel sorry for her… but I wish she's brush her hair. My fingers itch every time I see it."
Robyn smiles at Connor and chuckles. "Just don't over think it Connor, let things happen if they will. If you find yourself itching to kiss her, maybe go for it. If not, maybe you two are just meant to be good friends. I dunno but don't try to over think it…too much." He says with a grin as he knows Connor does tend to overthink things and think them to death. "Maybe something happened with you two in the future and because you met future….wait…future Heather?"
Connor eyerolls and then walks over to your bed, and gives you the smirk, "Up and off… stay off my covers." Saying it with the tired intonations of rote, "Yeah… she was older, looked like some kinda bondage queen in this leather-latex suit thing, watches all up and down her arms… she tried to grab me. Called me a different name too. It all goes back to what happened to James in Central PArk."
Robyn gets off his bed and just lies on the floor instead. "Watches….didn't Chloe say something about Heather and a watch?" He says yawning mid-sentance. "Did she call you Volk like Ahab did?" Since it was mentioned to him in Central Park by Connor. "Well we have a starting point to this and why James got stabbed, then Chloe knows stuff. So is it the latex bondage queen Heather or the now Heather your connecting with?"
Connor replies softly as he starts work on Robyn's bed, "Now-Heather… I mean… I really don't know what to call either of them… the other Heather is just creepy. Only reason she couldn't catch me is I move as fast as her… by the time she gets to me, I'm somewhere else. Yeah… she called me Volk. What's up with that, seriously…" This time the bed goes fast, his movements a bit more sure as the mood-stabilizer he took starts asserting itself a bit better, "Allright… Connor weirdness aborted… defaulting to normal function… time for a shower and breakfast." Sighing almost in relief.
Robyn shifts on the floor and moves his stuffed animal to use as a pillow and it seems like he might not move from the spot. "Well…if she's from the future and Ahab is from the future it makes sense that in a few years from now you'll be using Volk as a code name instead of Chase. I think Volk sounds better than Chase anyway." He says with a smile. "Alright, grab me after your shower for breakfast, I'll go down with you. Say…you wanna go into Salem Center later, hit the Resevoir for a picnic later? Just enjoy the woods and stuff."
Connor fidgets at the thought of the woods a moment, and then gives a frown, "Maybe, allright? You know I get growly when I'm stuck out there… Why can't we go to a park… someplace nice and orderly…" But after that he starts and begins to chuckle, peeling off his sleeping shirt and putting it with the rest of the day's laundry, "Listen to me… you'd think we're dating or something… allright… but you think Jordan will go? He doesn't like leaving campus any more than I do these days."
"Maybe if I kick his ass out the door he will, he hasn't liked to leave much since the whole Sinister thing. He hates looking different even though I think it's cool. And you're not a bad guy for someone to date Connor." Robyn says as he finally rolls back up to flop down on his bed. "Well we don't have to walk in the woods, there is a park there too Connor. Just every now and then I need to get out of here and do something not here. I think you do too."
"I just made that… argh… I swear you do this because you know you can get way with it." Connor grumbles light-heartedly while he picks up a towel from his closet and then makes for the door, "See you in a few… maybe you're right… some bacon is what we need to face the world."
"I do this cause it's my bed." Robyn grumbles as he's probably gonna take a quick nap while Connor's in the shower. "Wake me up when you get back if I fall asleep, and at least I'm not going under the covers." He grins and right before Connor goes to leave he smiles. "And Connor, I do this to you cause you're one of my best friends."
Connor sings out in a passable tenor as he opens the door, "The Phaaaaantom of the Aaaaaaaart Rooooooooom!" And with a wave he closes the door and heads off to clean up.

BDS Berlin hat einen offenen Brief gegen das geplante Freihandelsabkommen TTIP zwischen der EU und den USA mitunterzeichnet.
Im Herbst 2015 tritt die Auseinandersetzung um das Handels- und Investitionsabkommen in die heiße Phase. Das Abkommen droht Demokratie und Rechtsstaatlichkeit zu untergraben und auszuhebeln.
das Recht auf freie politische Meinungsäußerung einzuschränken und Kampagnen in Solidarität mit dem Kampf des palästinensischen Volkes für Freiheit, Gerechtigkeit und Gleichheit zu blockieren.
We, the undersigned, oppose the dangerous Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP) negotiations and the related attempts by some US politicians to use the TTIP process to restrict freedom of political expression and campaigning in solidarity with the Palestinian people's struggle for freedom, justice and equality.
undermine measures to protect the environment.
negotiations, and the proposed Investor State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) mechanism, which would allow multinational corporations to sue governments in a parallel judicial system available to them alone.
As organisations opposed to any EU-US trade treaty that does not serve the public interest, we are gravely concerned at the recent introduction of US legislation that seeks to use TTIP to block human rights actions in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
settlements to be illegal under international law.
guidelines preventing EU public funds from being awarded to such settlements.
infrastructure of Israel's occupation of Palestinian land.
legislative attempt to silence these expressions of solidarity.

Q: How to store the results of an iteration over rows of a Pandas DataFrame in a new column? I am new to coding in Python. Currently, I am trying to analyse a dataframe containing multiple workflows. Each workflow has a different process steps for initiating and ending a workflow. In a simplified version, my data looks like the following:
   Workflow Initiate   End_1   End_2   End_3
0         1   Name_1      na  Name_1      na
1         2   Name_2      na      na      na
2         3   Name_3      na      na  Name_5
3         4   Name_4  Name_5      na      na
4         5       na      na      na  Name_5

For every workflow, I want to compare whether the name that ended the workflow is different as the name that initiated the workflow.
Iterating through the rows in the following way gives me the desired output:
for index, row in df.iterrows():
    if ((row['Initiate'] != 'na')
        and (row['Initiate'] == row['End_1']) |
            (row['Initiate'] == row['End_2']) |
            (row['Initiate'] == row['End_3'])
        ):
        print("Name end equals initiate")
    elif ((row['End_1'] == 'na') &
          (row['End_2'] == 'na') &
          (row['End_3'] == 'na')
         ):
        print("No name ended")
    else:
        print("Different name ended")

Name end equals initiate
No name ended
Different name ended
Different name ended
Different name ended

However, I want to add an extra column, say 'Analysis', in the dataframe that shows the above outcome behind every workflow.
For this I stuffed the code into a function:
def function_name(a, b, c, d):
    for index, row in df.iterrows():
        if ((a != 'na')
            and (a == b) |
                (a == c) |
                (a == d)
            ):
            return "Name end equals initiate"
        elif ((b == 'na') &
              (c == 'na') &
              (d == 'na')
             ):
            return "No name ended"
        else:
            return "Different name ended"

df['Analysis'] = function_name(row['Initiate'],
                               row['End_1'],
                               row['End_2'],
                               row['End_3'])

print(df)

   Workflow Initiate          ...            End_3              Analysis
0         1   Name_1          ...               na  Different name ended
1         2   Name_2          ...               na  Different name ended
2         3   Name_3          ...           Name_5  Different name ended
3         4   Name_4          ...               na  Different name ended
4         5       na          ...           Name_5  Different name ended

As you can see the output is different from the first analysis. I would like to add an extra column to my dataframe that gives me the same output as with the print statements.

A: You should avoid row-wise loops here. Your algorithm is vectorisable:
df = df.replace('na', np.nan)  # replace string 'na' with NaN for efficient processing
ends = df.filter(like='End')  # filter by columns with 'End'

match = ends.ffill(1).iloc[:, -1] == df['Initiate']  # find last Name in each End
nulls = ends.isnull().all(1)  # check which rows are all null

# apply vectorised conditional logic
df['Result'] = np.select([match, nulls], ['Name end equals initiate', 'No name ended'],
                         'Different name ended')

print(df)

   Workflow Initiate   End_1   End_2   End_3                    Result
0         1   Name_1     NaN  Name_1     NaN  Name end equals initiate
1         2   Name_2     NaN     NaN     NaN             No name ended
2         3   Name_3     NaN     NaN  Name_5      Different name ended
3         4   Name_4  Name_5     NaN     NaN      Different name ended
4         5      NaN     NaN     NaN  Name_5      Different name ended

A: Try to use np.select()
conditions = [
    (df['Initiate'] != 'na') & ((df['Initiate'] == df['End_1']) | (df['Initiate'] == df['End_2']) | (df['Initiate'] == df['End_3'])),
    (df['End_1'] == 'na') & (df['End_2'] == 'na') & (df['End_3'] == 'na')
]

answers = ['Name end equals initiate','No name ended']
df['Analysis'] = np.select(conditions, answers, default='Different name ended')


rescue calls."On January 11, 1981 there were two house fires in the Spring Creek community in Madison County, then called West Madison. As a consequence, the residents of Spring Creek came together and formed the West Madison Volunteer Fire Department. 27 men signed up on the original fire department roster in that year. One of those 27 was Rhett Kirkpatrick. Today (note: the award was presented on 12/13/2016), 35 years later, only one of those 27 men is still on the Spring Creek VFD roster. That one is Rhett Kirkpatrick, having served for 35 continuous years as a member of the (now) Spring Creek Volunteer Fire Department. The number of times that Rhett has responded to a 911 call are beyond numbering … responding day and night, in rain and shine, in sleet and snow, to medical emergencies and fires alike. As a first responder he has touched the lives of countless people in crisis, both Spring Creek residents and passers through, freely giving of his time and training, asking and expecting nothing in return for his efforts and contributions. Over 35 years Rhett has been involved in every phase of the growth and development of the VFD. When the fire station was being planned Rhett helped to cut the logs that became the lumber that built the station. When the station was being built Rhett was there cutting that lumber, driving the nails, putting on the paint. Money for the VFD in Spring Creek has always been tight, fund raising always an integral part of the VFD's existence. Rhett has been there at every event, 35 years of flipping burgers, making chili and scrubbing the pots, helping with Bar-B-Ques, motorcycle rallies, flea markets, basketball games, wrestling, music, Halloween parties, turkey-shoots to name a few. In addition to all his efforts on behalf of the VFD Rhett has also been called on to assume a leadership role in the VFD, having served at various times as Captain, Lieutenant, and also as the officer for the several support positions in the VFD, such as Training Officer. Rhett has also been an Emergency Medical Technician. In 2010 Rhett, and his wife Ethel, were elected Honorary Lifetime Members of the Spring Creek VFD."


SANTA MONICA, Calif., (May 1, 2018) - ALG, the industry benchmark for determining the future resale value of a vehicle, projects U.S. revenue from new vehicle sales will reach $45 billion for the month of April, down 3.8 percent from a year ago with currently 24 selling days compared to 26 in April 2017.
ALG expects a loss of $1.7 billion in revenue for automakers versus 2017. Additionally, incentive spending is projected to increase 8.5 percent year over year and decrease 1.6 percent month over month.
"Cooling incentives on a month over month basis and the continued rise in Average Transaction Prices are putting the auto industry on track for another year of solid performance metrics," said Eric Lyman, ALG's chief industry analyst. "Automakers are becoming increasingly dependent on light trucks, as evidenced by Ford's recent announcement to pull all but two passenger cars from their lineup, which bolsters revenue and ATPs across the industry. Additionally, the impact of higher interest rates and economic volatility have not negatively impacted robust ATPs."
ALG estimates ATP for a new light vehicle was $33,515 in April, up 2.7 percent from a year ago. Average incentive spending per unit grew by $293 to $3,736. The ratio of incentive spending to ATP is expected to be 11.1 percent, up from 10.5 percent from a year ago.
