BEST BUYS: Drop into the Carlos Woods Arte Antiguo y Contemporaneo gallery in Guatemala for the finest in modern and historical arts and crafts; go to the source at market in Chichicastenango (Thursday & Sunday) for superb native textiles, carved wooden masks and religious figures, ceramic wares
INFORMATION PLEASE: INGUAT—visitguatemala.com
Not only is it the transportation gateway to the rest of the country, but Guatemala City is also a cosmopolitan capital that offers a compelling mix of new shopping centers and traditional markets, fine hotels, very good restaurants, a lively nightlife and excellent museums. The latter provide an essential introduction to the antiquities and living Maya culture one discovers all over Guatemala. Among the city's 21 zones, four of them—1, 4, 9 and 10—are home to places of particular visitor interest. On everyone's short list of leading things to see are the stately blue-domed Metropolitan Cathedral, the ornate La Merced Church and the impressive interiors of San Francisco; three must-see museums are the National Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology, the Ixchel Museum showcasing textile and weaving traditions, and the Popul Vuh Museum whose artifacts cover Guatemalan civilization from the pre-Classic period to the colonial era. Zones 9 and 10 make up the Zona Viva, an upscale neighborhood where dozens of old mansions have been converted to restaurants (Kacao and Tamarindos are good picks), nightclubs and boutiques aglow with native weavings and finely-made jewelry. Zona 10 also offers many high-end hotel choices: Real InterContinental, Westin Camino Real and Radisson Hotel & Suites are all here. Jump to Zone 1 for the family-run B&B Posada Belen Museum Inn.
To really understand, appreciate and enjoy Guatemala, head for the highlands and the weekly markets held in traditional Mayan villages: Thursday and Sunday in Chichicastenango, Saturday in Totonicapan and Todas Santos, Friday in San Francisco el Alto near Quetzaltenango and Solala at not-to-miss Lake Atitlan. Flores, an hour by air from Guatemala City, is the gateway to the Peten Rainforest and the spectacular ruins of Tikal, covering a 25-sq.-mile area. And just an hour's drive from the capital is Antigua, a gem of a city. Saluting its fine examples of 16th and 17th century architecture, cathedrals and convents, UNESCO declared this colonial treasure house a World Heritage Site. Citywide restorations resulted in a bevy of traditional mansions turned into truly elegant inns—the most famous is probably Casa Santo Domingo.

Woodberry Down Regeneration
As part of a major regeneration project in North London, Bison Precast supplied hundreds of concrete columns for three high-rise residential apartment buildings built by Landmark Construction.
Once complete, this urgently-needed development will provide 5,500 new homes, set in 64 acres overlooking lovely, natural surroundings, including Finsbury Park and two reservoirs.
The three buildings, constructed using more than 500 precast columns, are part of the Park Collection, which includes luxury studios and penthouse apartments available to purchase from Berkley Homes.
Jonathan Fordham, Project Manager for Landmark Construction, said, "The team at Bison Precast provided a good quality service, and the technical background was spot on. These were standard precast columns for this type of high-rise, delivered over a period of months as the work progressed.
"The deliveries were very efficient, bringing in two floors worth of columns at a time, sometimes with just 24 hours' notice depending on the status of the job. This helped us keep to schedule, especially during the early stages of the work when there was little storage space available on site.
"We're continually working with precast concrete as it is the most efficient way of constructing this type of project and would certainly work with Bison Precast again based on their good work here."
Mark Shepherd, Projects Manager for Bison Precast, said, "Our precast columns were integral to the construction of the much-needed new apartments at Woodberry Down in London. We understand the pressures on developers and pride ourselves on delivering on spec and on time."

Q: Reload Dask worker containers automatically on code change I have the Dask code below that submits N workers, where each worker is implemented in a Docker container:
default_sums = client.map(process_asset_defaults, build_worker_args(req, numWorkers))
future_total_sum = client.submit(sum, default_sums)
total_defaults_sum = future_total_sum.result()

where process_asset_defaults is a method in a worker.
The problem is that in a development environment when I change the worker's code I need to restart all the containers manually for the change to take effect.
Is there a way to reload the worker with the new code without restarting the workers?
Note: the code resides in a Docker volume, I change it directly in the volume with Visual Studio Code.

A: You could make make a variable with the current content of the file, then make a loop which checks if the file content is not equals to the one before, and if it is not you can do stuff
before = open("/code/app/worker.py").read()

while True:
   current = open("/code/app/worker.py").read()
   if current != before:
       dostuff()
       before = current

A: If the code that changes is the content of the functions, then it might be possible to use autoreload:
import importlib
importlib.reload(process_asset_defaults) # if this is the function that needs updating

See blog or docs for some further details.

The flags around your house and garden can be a lot more than just a decorative tool to add color to your lawn. While they are certainly a good way to attract attention to your property, house flags can also be a way to let others know what you're interested in. These can be local causes like animal rescue, or they can have religious or patriotic significance. Whatever flag you choose to display says a lot about you, so make sure you pick a message that's important to you.
Many people display a house flag that supports their local sports team, whether it's high school, college, or professional sports. Sports flags are a great way to show loyalty to your team. Even if you live on the other side of the country, everyone will know who you root for. Or you can support a sport in general with one of our football, basketball, or baseball flags.
You can also use your flag to display your support of a cause that's important to you. Patriotic flags are a good way to support your country or the troops abroad. We also carry a variety of religious flags, both for the holidays and for year-round messages of peace and love. You can find flags for just about any cause you support or hobby you're interested in.
If you don't have a specific sports team or hobby that you want to promote, your flag can still be a reflection of your personality. We carry flags with many creative messages and designs that can help you get your point across. Your flag can be humorous, inspirational, or anywhere in between. Share a smile with anyone who sees it and help to brighten someone's day.

Q: Is it possible to make local reverse-geocoding? I am working on application, that receives lots coordinates & i need to locate each one. Google & other services have limitations. Perhaps there is solution, that could be used locally on linux?

A: There is at least two older questions for this same problem, so maybe the answers provided in them gets you started in right directtion:
1. Techniques for offline reverse geocoding on a mobile device?
2. Offline Reverse Geocoding in Python

A: Reverse geocoding is just a spatial search. You need data, for the US, you can use Tiger data from the Census or other spatial data for your coverage area. And you need a way to do a spatial query. This can be done using Postgresql and PostGIS or using Mapserver.org. If you want to license a solution, checkout http://imaptools.com/ (my consulting site). Getting good data probably presents one of the biggest challenges depending on your coverage needs.

Q: web2py: json serializer and javascript has problems with quotes around python string I want a complex 2d list to be brought from python to javascript. Javascript handles the numbers and list syntax (brackets and commas) just fine, but it can't understand the quotes around a string. I have tried embedding the list directly to the code and converting it to json first, but neither works. I think problem is in that javascript somehow converts " to something else, I show what I mean in a minute.
But here's a sample code to reproduce the problem.
Action:
def problem():
    this_works = [[1,2,5,6.99],[24,55,6.8,124]]
    this_does_not = [["a",5,6,7],["b",8,9,10]]
    return dict(locals())

View:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{from gluon.serializers import json}}

unchanged

unchanged

unchanged

If either of those two lines are uncommented, the code breaks. If you check the source code of the html, you can see that web2py changes " to something else:

A: For security reasons, the web2py template engine escapes all text inserted in the template. To prevent this, you should use the XML() helper:
y = {{=XML(this_does_not)}};

SUMMARY Hemodynamic effects of vasodilator therapy (phentolamine or nitroprusside) were studied in 38 patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Cardiac metabolism was studied in 19 of the 38 patients. According to the initial level of left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) and left ventricular stroke work index (SWI), patients were divided into three groups: Group I-nine patients with LVFP 15 mm Hg or less; Group II-14 patients with LVFP> 15 mm Hg and SWI > 20 g-m/m'; Group III-15 patients with LVFP > 15 mm Hg and SWI <20 g-m/m2. In Group I most patients were clinically uncomplicated. In Group IL most patients had clinical left ventricular failure including one patient who had clinical features of cardiogenic shock. Group III patients all had severe left ventricular failure, with eight patients in clinical shock. In all groups LVFP, pulmonary artery pressure, right atrial pressure, and systemic and pulmonary vascular resistance decreased significantly with vasodilator therapy with only a slight to moderate decrease in arterial pressure. In Group I patients SVI decreased (-7%) together with an increase in heart rate. Significant improvement in left ventricular performance, however, was observed in Groups II and III as indicated by increased stroke volume index (SVI) and cardiac index (CI) and decreased LVFP. The increase in SVI and CI was of similar magnitude in both Group LI (SVI +18%, CI +24%) and Group III (SVI +28%, CI +29%) patients, a change suggesting that vasodilation thereby may be applicable and beneficial even in the presence of severe depression of cardiac performance. Improved left ventricular performance in group II and III patients was accompanied by a slight decrease in coronary blood flow, myocardial oxygen consumption, and transmyocardial oxygen extraction. There was no change in myocardial lactate metabolism in any group. In vitro studies in isolated cat papillary muscle preparations showed no direct positive inotropic effect of either phentolamine or nitroprusside. Thus, significant improvement in left ventricular performance occurs during vasodilator therapy in patients with AMI and elevated LVFP, even in the presence of severe depression of cardiac performance. Furthermore, this improvement is not accompanied by increased metabolic cost. Vasodilator therapy, therefore, may have an important role in the treatment of pump failure complicating myocardial infarction.
D ESPITE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING of the physiology of acute myocardial infarction, the prognosis of overt pump failure or cardiogenic shock following infarction remains poor with conventional therapy. Traditionally "pump failure"

For evaluation of therapy patients were divided into three groups according to the initial level of left ventricular filling pressure (LVFP) and derived stroke work index (SWI). Group I-Patients with normal LVFP (15 mm Hg or less). Ten studies were performed in nine patients in this group. Group II-Patients with LVFP> 15 mm Hg and stroke work index > 20 g-m/m2. There were 14 patients in this group, and 15 studies. Group Ill-Patients with LVFP > 15 mm Hg and a stroke work index of 20 g-m/m2 or less. There were 15 patients in this group and 19 studies.

output and decreased filling pressures could be maintained. Periodic adjustment of the infusion rate was, however, often necessary to maintain the hemodynamic response. In surviving patients in groups II and III, vasodilator therapy was gradually tapered off and then discontinued as baseline hemodynamics and clinical status improved. Figure 5 shows the direct effects of sodium nitroprusside and phentolamine on force development of isolated cat papillary muscles studied in vitro. There were no direct positive or negative inotropic effects up to a dose level of 104M. Above that dose level depressant effects were noted. In the therapeutic range, therefore, there were no significant direct positive or negative inotropic effects of either of these two drugs.

available. Hemodynamic monitoring is not only essential for the selection of patients likely to benefit from such therapy but also for prevention of complications such as an unexpected sudden fall of arterial pressure. Our current practice is 1) to constantly monitor arterial and left ventricular filling pressure (pulmonary artery diastolic or pulmonary capillary wedge pressure) during such therapy, 2) to start an infusion of phentolamine or nitroprusside at a very low dose (nitroprusside: 16 Ag/min) (phentolamine: 0.1 mg/min), 3) to obtain frequent estimations of cardiac output to determine changes in systemic vascular resistance, 4) to adjust the infusion rate of these drugs to maintain a LVFP of 15-18 mm Hg without causing a marked decrease in arterial pressure, and 5) to abandon this mode of therapy if arterial pressure falls markedly before a decrease in LVFP or ivicrease in cardiac output occurs.

Testosterone E is one of the most popular drugs based on Testosterone Enanthate. The producer of this anabolic is Balkan Pharmaceuticals. This company has long been supplying its products to steroids market and is well known to worldwide athletes. Testosterone enanthate is most often used by representatives of power sports.
Increasingly, bodybuilders are making a decision to purchase Enanthate to create a powerful mass building course based on it. This is due to the presence in the steroid of a large number of positive effects, and the quality of this drug is unquestionable to anyone.
If you want to order steroids, then our steroid shop will be the best solution to this issue. Only here you can find original products of leading brands at a minimum cost. Turning to our steroid store, each athlete can not worry about the safety of personal information. We guarantee that this information will not fall into third parties. Regular customers will get an excellent discount.
On the course there is a rapid increase in muscle mass.
Promotes suppression of pain in the joints.
Creates a strong pumping effect.
Significantly increases the strength of the athlete.
Stimulates athlete's desire to actively train.
The steroid's half-life is approximately one week, and it works for 15 days. In addition to positive properties, estrogen and androgenic side effects can also appear on this steroid course. To eliminate them, use aromatase inhibitors. In addition, it is necessary to comply with all the rules of the cycle, which will be discussed below.
This anabolic can be used by all athletes striving for rapid progress. Since the drug is highly androgenic, women should keep from it, as far as possible. The weekly dose of the drug is 250-750 mg. Although the drug is able to maintain a smooth hormonal background with one injection for seven days, many athletes weekly dose divide into two doses. It is necessary to inject through equidistant time intervals.
During the week, inject Testosterone E in the amount of 500 mg.
Boldenone is administered once a week at a dose of 400 mg.
Duration of this course is 8 weeks.
To suppress estrogenic activity of Enanthate, use Anastrozole into the course. During PTC, you should take Clomed or Tamoximed.

iPhone 5s iMovie 1080p rendering twice as fast
Christian Zibreg on September 23, 2013
Early Geekbench benchmarks of the iPhone 5s seemingly prove Apple's claim that the new 64-bit A7 chip provides two times greater CPU and GPU performance over its predecessor, the A6 package inside the iPhone 5. Specifically, the iPhone 5s Geekbench score (the new version of the Geekbench app supports 64-bit chips) is close to the early-2010 Mac mini model.
But how do benchmark scores translate into real-world performance in your favorite apps? Blogger Lex McFarley did an interesting head to head test using the iMovie app running on both an iPhone 5s and a previous-generation iPhone 5. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the new phone rendered the video in half the time as the iPhone 5…
As noted by Macsfuture, the A7 chip has a Geekbench score of 2552, which is "is close to the score of the early-2010 version of the Mac mini".
Here's the iMovie test.
The entire project runs ten minutes 55 seconds long.
It took the iPhone 5s about six minutes to render the project in full HD resolution – that's almost two times faster than real-time rendering, which includes the time needed to copy the resulting movie back to the Camera roll.
Apple says the A7 supports OpenGL ES version 3.0 to deliver the kind of detailed graphics and complex visual effects "once possible only on Mac computers, PCs, and gaming consoles".
The difference is amazing. Take the imaginary worlds in games, for instance. Textures and shadows look more true to life. Sunlight reflects off the water. The whole experience feels much more realistic.
A more in-depth speed comparison of the two phones follows below.
Created by Tom Rich, the following video not only covers the general speed, but gaming performance of the 64-bit and 32-bit processors and much more.
Apple now has the first 64-bit smartphone on the market running the first 64-bit operating system with all stock apps optimized for 64-bit computing.
It should be noted that while navigating the handset and launching apps appears smoother on the iPhone 5s, these common tasks don't appear any faster versus the iPhone 5 due to timed UI animations in iOS 7.
Had Apple removed these transitions altogether, the speed increase would have been more noticeable. Of course, the difference in speed become readily apparent when running graphics-intensive apps and high-end games optimized for the A7 and the 64-bit platform, such as Infinity Blade III (pictured top of post).
Here's Infinity Blade III demo from the keynote.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wnh98ELfR04
By all accounts, Apple has likely licensed the ARMv8 architecture for the CPU.
There's little doubt left that the A7 runs a 100 percent customized CPU core, alongside what's probably Imagination Technologies' PowerVR Series 6 GPU code-named Rogue.
Apple holds a ten percent stake in Imagination.
The iPhone 5's A6 chip was a break from Apple's previous strategy of incorporating ARM's CPU blueprints into its A-series chips on an as-is basis.
@dujkan Completely plausible. Likely a big jump in polys even if they go with a lower-end Rogue.
— Jeremy Horwitz (@horwitz) September 6, 2013
Instead of using either the ARM Cortex A9 or ARM A15 CPU core for the A6 chip, Apple had licensed the ARM v7 instruction set and produced a fully customized dual-core CPU core named Swift.
As per usual, the industry is expected to close the gap some time next year, giving Apple plenty of lead time to bank on its "the fastest smartphone" claim. Right after the keynote, Samsung co-CEO Kim Yoo-chul said future Samsung phones will have 64-bit processing functionality, although "not in the shortest time".

Israel and the United Nations
Thread starter Fermoy
Countering Benjamin Netanyahou's Orwellian Spin At The UN
By Eileen Fleming
In defense of freedom of the press, conscience and speech; I have seized the liberty to counter Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's spinning at the UN on September 24, 2009.
He is "N" and I am "E" and so it begins:
N: Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen
Nearly 62 years ago, the United Nations recognized the right of the Jews, an ancient people 3,500 years-old, to a state of their own in their ancestral homeland. I stand here today as the Prime Minister of Israel, the Jewish state, and I speak to you on behalf of my country and my people.
The United Nations was founded after the carnage of World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust. It was charged with preventing the recurrence of such horrendous events. Nothing has undermined that central mission more than the systematic assault on the truth.
E: In agreement on principal and the brutal truth is:
Israel has been targeted by at least 65 UN resolutions and the Palestinians have been targeted by none. [1]
"Aside from the core issues—refugees, Jerusalem, borders—the major themes reflected in the U.N. resolutions against Israel over the years are its unlawful attacks on its neighbors; its violations of the human rights of the Palestinians, including deportations, demolitions of homes and other collective punishments; its confiscation of Palestinian land; its establishment of illegal settlements; and its refusal to abide by the U.N. Charter and the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War. [2]
"Israel holds the record for ignoring United Nations Security Council resolutions…Since 1968, Israel has violated 32 resolutions that included condemnation or criticism of the governments' policies and actions…The resolutions Israel violated were either about its annexation of East Jerusalem or settlements in the territories. Israel also ignored UN Security Council resolutions that called for Israel to cease using harsh measures against the Palestinian population and to cease expelling Palestinians. [3]
Point and counter-point .
It makes interesting reading
"The Press is already in our hands. Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control. This we have already attained in part through our control of those agencies by which all news items must pass. We shall put out our own journals, disguised as coming from elsewhere so that readers will in effect be following the flag we hang out for them; these will even be allowed to feign attacks on us, to convince people they are reading a free press. Let them discuss themselves silly!"

Yeah, but we all know that the UN is totally and disgracefully anti-semitic.

There are hundreds of examples of how the UN has lost its way, particular on the question of "human rights". Here is another example:
"I see no objection": UN adopts report praising Qatar's human rights record after UN Watch lists objections
Thank you, Mr. President. Today we ask: Does the cause of human rights support — or object to — the adoption of today's UN Human Rights Council report on Qatar's human rights record?
Let me read from the report:
"China appreciated the efforts expended by Qatar to promote and protect human rights."
"Bangladesh praised Qatar for the progress made in empowering women."
"Iran commended Qatar on its integrated social development, and for improving the situation of women."
"Sudan applauded the steps taken by Qatar."
"Turkey commended the progress achieved by Qatar in human rights."
Mr. President, no less than 78 out of the 84 country statements in this report offer praise for the human rights record of Qatar. That's over 90 percent.
Yet the truth, Mr. President, is the opposite.
Let us be clear: The truth is that the 1.4 million migrant workers in Qatar object to this report because they are dying at the rate of one a day from inhuman conditions. At the current pace, more than 4,000 migrant workers will die to build the infrastructure for Qatar's 2022 World Cup.
The truth is that the women of Qatar object to this report because they are denied basic rights to equality, for example denied the right to be elected to the Shura legislative council.
The truth is that journalists and aid workers who are abducted by the ISIS terrorist group and face beheading object to this report. In the words of Germany's development aid minister, Gerd Mueller, from August 20th: "Who is financing these troops? Hint: Qatar."
The truth is that the Palestinians, Israelis ,and other victims of Hamas war crimes — their exploitation and targeting of civilian populations, mosques, hospitals and schools — object to this report.
As one Arab diplomat said to the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), as quoted in its testimony before the U.S. Congress, "Qatar finances Hamas strongly."
Mr. President, for all of these reasons, let me be clear: the victims of human rights abuse around the world object to the adoption of this report.
Thank you, Mr. President.
President of UNHRC Session: May I now propose that the Council adopt the decision of the UPR on Qatar as appears on screen. I see no objection. The decision is adopted...

"Antisemitism, for instance, is simply not the doctrine of a grown-up person."
Wasn't that the same UN which criticised Ireland's human rights record recently?

Everyone knows that the final status questions are borders, Jerusalem, settlements and refugees. Thanks to the 2004 advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, we know what international law says about all these questions. The ICJ, the highest court in the world, also known as the World Court, went through all the final status issues. The World Court said:
No territorial acquisition resulting from the threat or use of force shall be recognized as legal.
It also said:
the principle of self-determination of peoples has been enshrined in the United Nations Charter and reaffirmed by the General Assembly
It follows that the Palestinian people, whose existence the court said is no longer an issue, are entitled to the right to self-determination. Palestine's right to self-determination is not in international law subject to any performance criteria stipulated by Israel. No other oppressed people have had their right to self-determination made conditional on the preferences of the occupier.

The Sea Turtle is a solid wood canoe paddle made from Canadian maple and hand painted by this Quebec artist. A work of art, and also functional. The paddle is water safe and just needs to be wiped down after each use to maintain the finish.
The artist: Annie Lajeunesse, is a Quebec artist, whose creativity was sparked at an early age by her grandfather, a woodworker. As a toddler, Annie started following her grandfather, and over the years she learned all his tricks of the trade. She first developed her own art with the creation of hand-painted wooden signs. After a friend's grandfather requested that she create and paint designs for each of his children on his handcrafted paddles, Annie was inspired to pursue this unique art form. Further research led her to the discovery that the hand-painted paddle is directly derived from the collective heritage of this country. And so began her new adventure! Annie's passion for physical, hands-on work is her true calling and the legacy of her artistic family. Curious by nature, she continues to learn new techniques and to develop her work. Her extraordinary paddles are becoming known across North America.

The first meeting of the working group for implementation of the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea is scheduled to be held in February in Baku, Spokeswoman of the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan Leyla Abdullayeva told Trend.
"The first meeting of the working group is scheduled for February. The exact date of the meeting will be announced this week," she said.
On Aug. 12, the heads of five Caspian states signed the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea at the 5th Summit of the Heads of Caspian States in Aktau. The Convention is a historic document for the region, the work on which has been carried out for two decades since 1996.
The Convention was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev, President of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev and President of Iran Hassan Rouhani.
The leaders of the Caspian states also signed other important documents arising from the Convention, in particular, the Protocol on cooperation in the fight against organized crime in the Caspian Sea, the Agreement between the governments of the Caspian states on trade and economic cooperation, the Agreement between the governments of the Caspian states on cooperation in transportation, the Agreement on preventing accidents in the Caspian Sea and the Protocol on Cooperation.


Gaël Aimé Adrien Mbama recalls the first time he arrived in the United States and was greeted by a large portrait of then-President Barack Obama as he descended the escalator to the arrivals level of the airport.
With large and circular metal-framed glasses and a mild French accent, Mbama said he thought President Obama was the best president the United States has ever seen, and that he too wants to be the best in something one day. He speaks enthusiastically and with an air of confidence about his desire to lead—whether in his classes or his field of the work in the future—as the best he can possibly be.
Mbama will be interning at the Los Angeles City Attorney's office following graduation, which he hopes will prepare him to eventually enter a career in law to help change the lives of others.
Born and raised in France, Mbama is the younger of his two siblings who also experienced life in the U.S. during their college studies. He said he wanted to attend UCLA since he was in high school, since the university has international name recognition, but also because of the opportunities present in the city.
"As part of a minority, black and French, I wanted to be in a city where I could meet people from all walks of life," Mbama said.
In 2013 he enrolled at Santa Monica College with the goal of transferring into UCLA. He said people were concerned about his chances of transferring, since he planned to only apply to UCLA, but he was determined to prove his mettle.
"Every time you challenge me, I'll do my best to prove your wrong, to show I'm different," he said.
Although Mbama said he initially struggled with the quarter system, he has come to love the pace of the academic schedule for which UCLA is known.
Mbama said he always strives to be the best in what he does—whether academically or professionally—and hopes to enroll in a top law school following graduation, with the eventual goal of working in international law or for the U.S. Attorney's Office.
"I don't want to be a random attorney, I want to be the best attorney," he said.
Mbama joined the Zeta Beta Tau fraternity his first year on campus and said the experience helped him form a sense of community on campus. Mbama also joined the Daily Bruin as an opinion columnist, writing about controversial topics including diversity, Greek life and sexual assault, among others. He also started a charity and club on campus called the Rett Syndrome Club, which he said he was inspired to create after a friend worked with girl with Rett Syndrome.
He also served as a UCLA ambassador of France, to assist UCLA students interested in studying abroad in France and French students interested in studying at UCLA.
Mbama said he is proud of his contributions to the Daily Bruin, since he has only spoken English five years, but is most proud of the work he has done to bring awareness to minority communities.
"There are a lot of minorities that are suffering a lot of micro aggressions on a daily basis, and being a watchdog and journalist was extremely (prideful) for me," he said.
He said he found UCLA offers a wide range support if one knows where look, despite warnings that he would be "just a number" within a public university.
Mbama said although he said he is sad to leave the school behind, he is happy with what he accomplished as a Bruin.

From the publishers:
"The Seahorse… is perfect. Our dinner there was the best meal that I have had all year."
Giles Coren, The Times
The Seahorse on the mouth of the River Dart champions some of the best fish and shellfish in the world from the nearby landing site and is a favourite haunt of the foodie establishment. Co-owned by seafood hero Mitch Tonks and Mat Prowse, the menu is a seafood lover's tour of Europe's great fish dishes and cooking over a charcoal fire is the restaurant's specialty.

Blog » Health Blog » Cancer Section » 5 Ovarian Cancer Fact Every Woman should know?
Almost every woman is susceptible to developing ovarian cancer, being overweight just increases the risk. It is good to be aware of the symptoms, factors that can cause increased risk of developing and family history. So the first Ovarian Cancer Fact stats that sooner the diagnosis the better are the chances of receiving treatment, hence it is vital to understand unusual symptoms that should not be ignored. It is known that if the cancer is restricted to ovaries, in the early stages, up to 90% of women are likely to survive for more than five.
The sad part however is that most of the women visit the doctor too late, when the cancer is already at an advanced stage. Most of this happens as a result of lack of awareness about the symptoms and confusing these with other routine symptoms like starting of menstrual cycle and other common stomach and digestive complaints.
Most of the cancers happen due to genetic modifications and if there is a family history of anyone suffering from cancer in the family, the chances of you developing are fairly higher. The risk factors are potentiated with some genetic predisposition; it is always advisable to initiate a proper screening early on and to keep a tab on any symptoms that might seem to be of concern. Starting early can be of real help and can help in proper treatment.
Birth Control Method like Contraceptives pills based on estrogen and progesterone play a major role in cutting down the risk of ovarian cancer within just a few months of initiating the treatment. They are also known to be effective in reducing the risk in women who are carriers of the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutations, which make women highly susceptible to ovarian cancer.
Though widely believed by many women, cervical smear test (or Pap test) doesn't detect ovarian cancer but helps in detecting pre-cancerous changes to the cervical cells.

Q: Creating new Pandas DataFrame rows from multiple ID columns I have a Pandas dataframe where rows have attributes and the potential for multiple IDs. For example:
Name    Weapon    Color   ID1    ID2    ID3
Leo     Sword     Blue    11     12
Raph    Sai       Red     13
Don     Bo        Purple  14     15     16
Mike    Nunchuck  Orange  17

I'd like to make each of those IDs its own row while retaining the row's attributes. For example:
Name    Weapon    Color   ID
Leo     Sword     Blue    11
Leo     Sword     Blue    12
Raph    Sai       Red     13
Don     Bo        Purple  14
Don     Bo        Purple  15
Don     Bo        Purple  16
Mike    Nunchuck  Orange  17

How would I use chose specific columns to create rows from and which columns to retain the data from?

A: You can use:
df.melt(['Name','Weapon','Color'],value_name='ID').drop('variable',1).dropna()

    Name    Weapon   Color    ID
0    Leo     Sword    Blue  11.0
1   Raph       Sai     Red  13.0
2    Don        Bo  Purple  14.0
3   Mike  Nunchuck  Orange  17.0
4    Leo     Sword    Blue  12.0
6    Don        Bo  Purple  15.0
10   Don        Bo  Purple  16.0

A: You can also use stack(), which keeps the original order of your data:
(df.set_index(['Name', 'Weapon', 'Color'])
   .stack().reset_index(level=-1, drop=True)
   .reset_index(name='ID'))

Output:
    Name    Weapon      Color   ID
0   Leo     Sword       Blue    11.0
1   Leo     Sword       Blue    12.0
2   Raph    Sai         Red     13.0
3   Don     Bo          Purple  14.0
4   Don     Bo          Purple  15.0
5   Don     Bo          Purple  16.0
6   Mike    Nunchuck    Orange  17.0

Note that this will ignore the index of the original dataframe.

Lori Helene Berenson, a former MIT student and political activist imprisoned in Peru, was granted parole on Tuesday, May 25, 2010. Berenson, who withdrew from MIT as a sophomore in 1988, has served 15 years out of a 20-year prison sentence for aiding the leftist guerilla group Túpac Amaru Revolutionary Movement, or MRTA (Movimiento Revolucionario Túpac Amaru). She is now 40 years old.
Biotech company Roche filed its opposition brief last month in Stanford University v. Roche Molecular Systems, et al., the intellectual property case that Stanford and MIT have both asked the Supreme Court to hear.

The winner of this year's annual MIT $100K Entrepreneurship Competition was C-Crete Technologies, a team of MIT graduate students and collaborators who nano-engineered a new formula of concrete that would both improve material stability and decrease carbon dioxide emissions and cost.
Many MIT students are searching for a way to help others. Nick Sisler '11, Course II, has discovered how to make a difference in the life of an 11-year old boy. Nick has been a "big brother" to Evan Wilcox for three years, and was recently selected as a finalist for the Massachusetts Bay Big Brother Big Sister of the Year award. The Big Brother Big Sister program pairs children aged 6 through 18 with older mentors to develop "positive relationships that have a direct and lasting impact on the lives of young people," according to their website.
MIT's 143rd graduating class will receive their degrees on Killian Court today. At the commencement ceremony, 912 undergraduate students and 1443 graduate students will graduate.
On May 19, the House Dining Advisory Group (HDAG) released its 4-page final recommendation for House Dining, effective in Fall 2011. The new plan offers all-you-can-eat breakfast and dinner seven days a week at the four dorms with dining halls (Baker, McCormick, Next, and Simmons). The final costs will depend on the selected vendor, but are now estimated to be $2,900/year for the cheapest plan and $3,800/year for the most expensive.
An investigation by the Interfraternity Council has implicated Delta Tau Delta in the incident of a prospective student who became unconscious after consuming too much alcohol during Campus Preview Weekend. The IFC's ruling imposes a number of sanctions on DTD, which include a one year ban on alcohol in the DTD house, a one-and-a-half year ban on most social events, restrictions on off-campus trips during next year's rush, and a ban on hosting prefrosh during next year's CPW.
Jed W. Wartman, Assistant Dean for Student Activities, likes to say "yes" to good ideas. In his four years at MIT, he says this attitude is what has characterized his work. It's an attitude he plans to take to his new position this fall as Associate Dean of Student Affairs and Director of Campus Life at Colby College in Maine.
A new aroma is coming to MIT. It's the smell of delicious cookies, breads, and pastries from Flour Bakery and Cafe's newest installation, Flour3. According to the bakery's website, http://www.flourbakery.com, the new location hopes to open before the end of June. The new location will be firing up its ovens on 190 Mass Ave., right next to Central Bottle, the new wine store that opened in November, and opposite the Information Services and Technology building.
A photo caption on page 15 of the Friday, May 7 issue incorrectly stated that the John Hancock Tower in Boston was designed by I.M. Pei '40. While the Tower was designed by Pei's firm, Pei Cobb Freed and Partners, the architects were Henry N. Cobb and Harold Fredenburgh, not Pei.
The reactor building is divided into two sections — an external portion where the offices and basic training facilities are kept, and the containment chamber, the domed building that surrounds the reactor itself.
The trial of Anna Tang, accused of stabbing her ex-boyfriend in 2007, has been postponed once again, until June 22 and 23.
Last week Wednesday, May 26, MIT announced its "Efficiency Forward" initiative aimed at drastically cutting MIT's energy use and cost over the next three years.
MIT professor of mechanical engineering Alexander H. Slocum '82 was recently appointed by U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu to join a group of five scientists whose primary purpose is to devise alternative strategies to help slow the BP oil spill.
Around 64 percent of prospective freshmen chose to accept their offers of admissions to MIT, roughly the same fraction as did last year, according to Dean of Admissions Stuart Schmill '86.
Brian K. Baum '10 calls his job "essentially glorified babysitting," but he's not watching over his neighbor's kids. Instead, he is one of a small group of undergraduates who operates MIT's nuclear reactor.
At least 11 states have passed laws this year regulating or restricting abortion, giving opponents of abortion what partisans on both sides of the issue say is an unusually high number of victories. In four additional states, bills have passed at least one house of the legislature.
The Transportation Department signaled Wednesday that it planned to be more aggressive in forcing airlines to address common traveler frustrations, proposing a wide range of consumer protections. They come on top of earlier rules limiting how much time passengers can sit on planes on the tarmac.
Last month, when Steve St. Angelo, a longtime executive at Toyota in the United States, traveled to Japan, it was an eye-opening journey.
They spend hours watching video on their phones, downloading songs, browsing the Web, sending photos to friends and generally using mobile devices as full-fledged computers. They are the data hogs.
Last week when I picked up my regalia, I was warned that the fabric's dye could run if the temperatures were warm or if it rained. Thankfully, it looks like our chance for rain during Commencement will be minimal. Highs should be reasonable as well, near 76°F (24°C). (With any luck, I'll wear the white dress sitting in my closet.) Skies during commencement should be partly cloudy, with clouds increasing overnight. The chance for rain will also increase overnight and into Saturday as a shortwave moves through. The chance for rain will continue through Saturday night into Sunday as a weakly unstable air mass continues over the region. Temperatures through the weekend should remain comfortable with highs in the mid-70s, and lows in the 60s. A weak cold front will pass through Sunday night, followed by drier conditions and a more stable synoptic setup through the beginning of next week. And thus concludes my last Tech forecast as an MIT student. Good luck to the Class of 2010!
I remember falling asleep that first night after moving into my room. Music blasted somewhere in the distance, cars zoomed by across the river, and voices shouted and laughed outside as people walked by MacGregor House. It was a sharp contrast to what I was used to. Having grown up in Uxbridge, MA, a small town of 13,000, I was accustomed to far more natural sounds: the rustling of leaves as the wind swept through them. The chirping of crickets amid the buzzing of other insects. The gentle pattering of rain on the roof.
In 1970, an American agronomist named Norman Borlaug won the Nobel Peace Prize. His research on improving crop yields, a central component to what is commonly called the "Green Revolution," has been credited with saving as many as a billion lives. If this estimate is an exaggeration, it is not a large one — at the time of Borlaug's effort, the conventional wisdom of pundits, epitomized by Paul Ehrlich's "The Population Bomb," was that without significant population control, mankind was on its way to mass starvation. Though he achieved little fame or monetary reward, Borlaug may be the greatest humanitarian of all time.
For all undergraduates, including the majority who don't live in dining hall dorms and have no direct stake in the costs of meal plans, MIT's house dining program impacts more than just how they eat; it impacts their cultures, friends, and social habits. Changing house dining, a financial necessity, will alter or eliminate some long cherished traditions and replace them with new, potentially better ones.
Over the course of four years at MIT, I've come to realize the meaning of IHTFP. I distinctly remember the senses of anguish: the smell of a blown op-amp at 2AM, feeling powerless when MIT cut eight varsity sports, the taste of another Red Bull while trying to finish that computational biology project, and listening to the collective groan of freshmen getting back their physics exams. The visions of paradise are even more vivid: watching our professor race to erase multivariable calculus equations in 10-250 before the boards could reset, observing a unanimous vote of the faculty to approve an experiment that could bring together the fall career fair and the September student holiday, and seeing it start to snow right before my first crew regatta. During the weeks since class ended, I've found myself thinking about how unique some of these experiences are to MIT and identifying the common thread behind them: our community and its insistence on the freedom to explore.
I finally understand how Craigie On Main has appeared on the "Best of Boston" list year after year. After just my first visit, it easily moved to the top of my list, too. Off Main Street in Central Square, Craigie is anything but casual, perfectly pairing complex French cuisine with the simple taste of local New England. Classic 1920s prints decorate one wall, while another is adorned with myriad cooking pots and books. The rustic French design is complimented by a spacious open kitchen where diners can watch Chef Tony Maws busy at his art. The menu fluctuates with the seasons, and it's compiled only with the freshest and often organic, but always local meats, fish, and vegetables. If you're craving passionfruit out of season, you won't find it on this menu. But if you want the richest, tangiest rhubarb flavor during the spring, the "Market Fruits Crisp" paired with canela ice cream is definitely for you.
Though I don't normally think of Kendall Square as the happenin' place in town (most of the Cambridge nightlife and restaurants are clustered in Central Square), EVOO has spiced up the scene and brought the crowds to an area previously devoid of palatable pizazz. EVOO (which stands for "extra virgin olive oil"), though new to the Kendall Square area behind the Mariott hotel, is no newbie to the culinary world. The restaurant moved from Somerville just over a month ago.
The Ultimate Balanchine is not a ballet centralized around a single storyline. It instead focuses on the famous choreographer George Balanchine (1904-1983), known both for his mastery of traditional ballet technique and for his revolutionary style that founded modern ballet. The Ultimate Balanchine is a compilation of three of Balanchine's ballets: The Four Temperaments, Apollo, composed by Igor Stravinsky, and Theme and Variations, composed by Tchaikovsky. The very distinct styles piece together form a program that displays the extensive range of Balanchine's career.
Nine members of the MIT cycling team competed in the Collegiate Road Nationals, held May 7-9 in Madison, Wisconsin. The event opened on Friday with an incredibly challenging road race at Blue Mound State Park. Rain, temperatures in the 40's, and over 8,000 feet of climbing over 70 miles made the men's race a race of attrition, with only half the starters finishing the race. John Dreher G was MIT's first finisher, in a solid 18th place, even though he had upgraded to A's just three weeks before nationals. Despite riding the last 10 miles of the race with a broken shifter cable, forcing him to run up the steep hills, John Rhoden G placed 27th. After spending much of the race chasing after getting a flat tire, Tim Humpton '10 finished in 32nd place.
Last week, the US Men's National Team played two friendly matches against the Czech Republic and Turkey teams, as a tune-up for the World Cup.
In the spirit of today's commencement, the sports section has chosen to spotlight a smattering of MIT's graduating student-athletes. It is a testament to the strength of the Institute's athletic program that we do not have space to feature all of the seniors, though we tip our caps to every student who balanced the time commitment that a varsity sport requires with some of the nation's most rigorous academics.
After spending all these years walking across 77 Mass Ave, it is only natural that I should ask myself what I have learned from the Institute. The more interesting question would be to ask what I "haven't" or "couldn't" learn. I'll go with "haven't," because it puts more weight on personal responsibility — definitely learned about that at MIT!
Well, that's it for junior year. Grades are in, sighs of relief have been released and blood pressure is back down. Yet a single understanding hangs over my head like an incontinent pigeon: in a matter of months, I'll be a college senior. High-pitched, hyperventilated screams of panic abound. It's not just the looming graduate school or reality, or the fact that I still don't know which one it's going to be. It's not my inability to decide what I want to do or why, either. Nor is it the knowledge that many of my best mentor figures are going off to do with confidence aplenty the very things I'm panicking about. It's...well, actually, I'm not entirely sure what it is, but it most certainly isn't any of the above. No, sir, most definitely not one of those.

Youth leadership is the practice of teens exercising authority over themselves or others.
Youth leadership has been elaborated upon as a theory of youth development in which young people gain skills and knowledge necessary to lead civic engagement, education reform and community organizing activities. Countless programs around the world seek to teach young people particular skills associated with leadership, particularly those programs associate with youth voice or youth empowerment.


What would be the average rent for a 1 bedroom flat in Hastings? How far is Hastings from London?

How far is Hastings from London?
What would the average wage for an admin worker/book keeper be in Britain with 13 years experience?
Please note that I am a British citizen so no need to comment about weather I can work in Britain.
Best Answer: You can use Zoopla to find the cost of renting.
Hastings is about 65 miles from London. You would take more than an hour to commute. On the same line, you could find Robertsbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge and Sevenoaks. Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks are very expensive.
weather you can work in Britain?
Weather is rain, sun etc. You mean "whether".
Look on Zoopla.co.uk for more info - South London is cheaper than North because there is less tubes and you rely on trains.
Try Herne Hill, Streatham, Forest Hill, Crystal Palace. You will need to provide references if you don't have a job and have someone stand as a guarantor willing to pay the rent if you default and they will have to come with you to fill in the form. You will need 3 month's rent up front (2 for advance rent, 1 for deposit).
Depending on where and what kind of experience you have and how many hours you are likely to get then you are looking at earning anything from £17,000 a year to £30,000 a year.
Your best bet is to go and register with employment agencies specialising in accountancy staff. Make sure you own a nice suit and shoes for attending interviews with.
Hastings is not an easy commute to London and I would not advise it.
All within 1 hour from central London by frequent train. Driving into central London is not really a practical option due to road congestion, the Congestion charge and the high cost of parking.

Baysox come back to soggy earth with 11-inning loss
Posted bySteve Katz June 23, 2022 June 23, 2022 Posted inBowie BaysoxTags:2022 Season, Adam Hall, Andrew Daschbach, Bowie Baysox, Chris Givin, Christopher Cespedes, Cody Roberts, Greg Cullen, Jensen Elliot, Joey Ortiz, Weekly Recap, Zach Watson
Steve Katz
One of the highlights of a bounceback week for Bowie was an extra-inning win Friday, involving a four-run comeback and another three-run comeback.
The Baysox captured their second extra-inning win of the season that night, overcoming a four-run deficit for the second-consecutive night, walking off the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, 9-8, in 10 innings.
Bowie trailed by four runs for most of the game, but an eighth inning home run by Cody Roberts and a ninth inning home run by Joey Ortiz led Bowie to the tie.
In the 10th inning with Jensen Elliot (W, 4-4) on the mound, Binghamton placed the free runner, Wyatt Young, at third base thanks to a soft line drive single by Alvarez. Young was good for an unearned run off a Brett Baty's single and two more brought in a single by Cortes, making it 8-5.
Again, down by three runs and with Greg Cullen placed at second, Andrew Daschbach was hit by a pitch, and Chris Givin walked. Christopher Cespedes singled in the two runners.
With Bowie, again, down to their final out, Adam Hall bounced a ball over the head of pitcher Josh Heijka (L, 2-1), bringing in Cespedes to tie the game. With the bases loaded and two outs, Roberts looped a liner to right field, driving in Watson for Bowie's third walk-off of the season.

After a 3-2 week last week, the bubble had to burst sometime, and it did Tuesday in an 11-0 loss to the Erie Seawolves.
Making matters worse, even their second ninth inning game-tying home run in less than a week couldn't stop the Baysox from their seventh walk-off loss of the season last night, dropping another game to the SeaWolves, 5-4, in 11 innings.
In Bowie's final chance in the ninth inning, Watson belted a game-tying two-run home run off Erie's Zac Houston, Watson's third home run of the season. Despite the heroics, Bowie could not manage a baserunner in the 10th or 11th innings, as Yaya Chentouf (W, 2-1) held them scoreless.

Bowie's record falls to 25-40 on the season, good for last in the Southwest Division, making them the second Eastern League team to reach 40 losses in 2022. Binghamton, last in the league's Northeast Division with 41 losses, was the first to 40 losses.
Bowie and Erie will continue their six-game series today at UPMC Park, with the first pitch scheduled for 6:05 p.m. EST.

Exercises and Workouts
10 Signs Your Workout Isn't Working
Linda Melone updated on September 4, 2019
Linda Melone
Linda Melone is a seasoned writer and certified strength and conditioning specialist specializing in fitness and health. She also holds a B.S. in nutrition. Her work appears on WebMD, MSN Health, Shape.com, AARP, Oxygen and in many other online and print publications.
Romantic relationships and working out share a lot of similarities. In the beginning, you're eager to get to the gym and work hard. You feel good, sleep better and are generally happy. This is the honeymoon period.
Then one day something changes. You lose momentum. You're no longer motivated. Everything hurts. Honestly, you just want it to end. You and your workout clearly need "to have a talk." But it's a fine line between needing to push through and knowing when to throw in the towel. Here are 10 telltale signs to help you determine if it's time to break up with your workout routine and find a new one!
Credit: Hero Images/Hero Images/GettyImages
1. You'd Rather Go to the Dentist Than Work Out
You used to look forward to your workout, but lately the very thought of heading to the gym makes you want to pull the covers over your head. What's happening? "If you find yourself dreading your workout it's time to try out some new ways of breaking a sweat," says Jessica Matthews, assistant professor, director and creator of the master of kinesiology in integrative wellness program at Point Loma Nazarene University.
"From busting a move in a dance-based fitness class to heading out on the open water in a kayak, there are endless possibilities for getting in a great workout." Or try out a new gym, says Neal Pire, a New Jersey-based sports conditioning expert. "Do the same workout somewhere else," Pire says. "New machines and surroundings, and maybe different music, will all inspire you."

2. You're Always Injured or Hurt
When you're injured or sore all the time, it's time to take a step back. "Extreme muscle soreness and tenderness is likely due to overtraining," says Matthews. "Overtraining, by definition, is engaging in constant intense training without allowing adequate time for recovery."
Not only can overtraining negatively impact your physical health through disturbed sleep patterns, loss of appetite and decreased performance, but it can also take a toll on emotional health as well. The latter, often referred to as burnout, includes symptoms such as irritability, depression and insomnia. Matthews suggests scheduling recovery and rest days the same way you schedule workout days.

3. You've Plateaued
In the beginning, you felt as if every workout brought results, but now it feels like months since you've made any progress. What gives? "As we train, our muscles and heart and even brain and nervous system adapt to the stresses we place on them," says Irv Rubenstein, exercise physiologist and founder of S.T.E.P.S., a science-based fitness facility in Nashville, Tenn.
"In a short time, however, the workouts at the level you started with no longer stimulate these systems to adapt." After this neural adaptation phase, you will find it harder to see results. To bump things up again, increase time (duration), frequency (number of times per week), intensity (weight or resistance) or all of the above, though not all at once.

4. You're Always Tired
Regular exercise in the right doses should give you energy, not make you tired. "Constant fatigue is a classic sign of overtraining and means you're not getting enough recuperation," says Pire. "The best thing you can do is schedule a few days of rest, up to a week, with a new training regimen to begin on a designated day."
This revised workout doesn't require all new exercises. Rework your usual plan. Pire recommends varying your modalities (planned exercises), loads (intensity or pounds lifted), repetitions and/or set ranges (volume) and speed or tempo for lifting exercises.

5. You'd Rather Just Do Cardio
Planning and performing a resistance-training workout takes a lot more thought and energy than walking on a treadmill or pedaling a stationary bike. It's easy to ditch weights altogether and do cardio for an hour if you workout isn't engaging enough.
"The key lies in changing your workout formula before you get frustrated to this point," says Pire. "If you've been doing traditional weight training, change to circuit training or intervals, which offer a completely different stimulus." Intervals incorporating cardio can replace your cardio sessions and get you out of the gym faster.

6. You Can't Rally for A.M. Workouts
Early morning workouts aren't for everyone. If you find yourself downing cups of coffee and still feeling drowsy when you hit the gym, you need sleep more than you need a workout, says Pire. Giving up sleep to work out creates a quandary, because both are important aspects of a healthy lifestyle.
A 2013 study from Northwestern University suggests that a good night's sleep can lead to better and longer exercise sessions later in the day. Fewer hours can lead to reduced motivation to exercise. Turn in 20 to 30 minutes earlier than usual on nights before a morning workout, or weave activity into your day instead of sacrificing morning sleep.

7. Your Workout Feels Easy
When your workout feels easier, it means you're making progress. That's the good news! But when you're no longer challenged, it's time to add some variety, says Rubenstein. "Since our bodies adapt to stresses, it's a good idea to change your routine every four to eight weeks, which prevents (lack of challenge) from settling in."
Rubenstein recommends "periodizing" your workouts; creating a structured workout plan commonly used by professional athletes. "It optimizes the adaptation process so your body always has to improve," says Rubenstein. Consider hiring a personal trainer to set up a plan. Or you can break up your own workout. Focus on strength for four weeks and then emphasize endurance the following month.

8. You Only Do Your Best Moves
If you're like most people, your favorite exercise is likely your strongest one. Doing your best exercises gives your ego a boost, but if you never go outside your favorite moves, you can reach a plateau where results stall. A well-rounded workout includes more than just your favorite exercises, says Pire.
"You want to work the muscle groups on a consistent basis, but it's better to have a main, 'mother' lift, and then add other exercises around it that work the same muscles. You're still training the same muscle groups, only differently." For example, if you love squats, add a one-legged squat or step-up. If chest presses are your favorite, add some cable flies or decline presses to vary things up.

9. You're Gaining Weight (When Your Goal Is NOT to Gain)
You train hard. So why is the scale moving in the wrong direction? You're likely eating more to compensate for the lower blood sugar that results from an intense cardio or strength workout, says Rubenstein.
Or it's possible you're rewarding yourself for a job well done by taking more sitting breaks throughout the day. People who start an exercise or diet program often erode their positive gains by partaking in self-indulgent behavior. The solution: Watch your calories and move all day to keep your metabolism stoked.

10. You've Reached Your Goal
If you started exercising to lose weight and accomplished that goal (yay!), it's time to change your objectives, says Pire. "If you lost the weight you set out to lose, now it's time to switch gears and build muscle. Your workout needs to respond to your new goals."
According to the National Strength and Conditioning Association guidelines, if you want to build strength, focus on a weight you can lift for six repetitions or fewer; use a little less weight if you want muscle growth (hypertrophy) and pump out between six and 12 reps. For muscle endurance lighten things up further until you find a weight you can lift more than 12 to 15 times. For more specific programs, seek out a qualified personal trainer or strength coach.

West Coast Fishing Club Northern destinations almost booked for 2012.
To date, West Coast Fishing Club has received the highest number of 2012 bookings for our northern properties that we have ever seen, over our 25-year history. We are currently sitting within the 92% capacity range at all properties for the 2012 salmon-fishing season.
The strong percentage of return bookings is attributed to 2011 being one of the strongest years for the salmon fishery in quite some time. The June timeframe is almost completely booked, with only a couple of opportunities remaining towards the end of the month. Over the past few years, June has become one of the best-kept secrets of the season with the highest quantity returns on average per angler.
July and August have only select dates available, a time when anglers can expect larger size chinook salmon "Kings", as well as a full variety of coho "Silvers" and halibut available.
Overall, we are expecting another incredible year of salmon fishing with catch numbers to match that we saw in 2011. Don't delay in securing your time for 2012 with some prime dates still available.
