Radio Fiddlehead No. 1: Interview with John Barton
In January 2011, Editorial Assistant Peter Forestell sat down with John Barton, poet, editor of The Malahat Review, and the University of New Brunswick's 2010-11 writer-in-residence, to talk about his latest book of poems, Hymn, as well as the politics of being a gay writer in Canada.


Despite the battle for the top of the table that is raging in Milan, all eyes were focused on Rome for the Derby della Capitale this weekend. Roma has beaten its city rivals in their past 4 encounters, and was hoping to make up some ground in its hunt for a place in next year's Champions League. Heading into Week 29, Lazio occupied fourth place in the table, and was narrowly clinging to the last Champions League spot, with Roma trailing them, before the Derby, by only 5 points.
The one achievement Claudio Ranieri could boast during his brief reign on the Roma bench was his perfect record against city rivals Lazio. His Roma beat Lazio 4 times out of 4. Most recently, Roma soundly defeated the Biancocelesti in the Coppa Italia quarter-finals, advancing to the semis at Lazio's expense. Vincenzo Montella, Roma's new manager, enjoyed great success as a player in the Roma derby. In an historic performance, almost nine years ago to the day, Montella scored 4 goals in a 5-1 demolition of Lazio. Francesco Totti scored the 5th in that encounter, and would again be wearing the captain's armband for the Giallorossi tonight. Totti would again dazzle the Stadio Olimpico crowd as Roma looked to make it a perfect 3 out of 3 in the Derby della Capitale this season.
Montella handed Jeremy Menez a rare start up front, partnered with Totti and Mirko Vucinic. Daniele De Rossi and David Pizarro anchored the Roma midfield and controlled play well for most of the night. Edy Reja countered with Hernanes, Mauro Zarate and Sergio Floccari as his strike force. Both teams started well, but it was Roma that got the first real chance in the 4th minute, as a clever Totti backheel led De Rossi into the middle of the field. He squared for Pizarro, and the Chilean maestro fired from 25 yards, but his shot crashed off the crossbar and out. It was enough to give the Giallorossi an early boost in confidence though, as they continued to press in search of the opener. For the remainder of the first half, play remained open, with few chances for either side. The two capital clubs went into the half deadlocked at 0-0, but after the restart, Totti's magic was all Roma needed to gain the advantage.
In the 69th minute, Pizarro gathered at midfield and pressed to the edge of the Lazio box before being fouled. Totti stepped up to take the free kick and unleashed an absolute bomb that cut straight through the Lazio wall, past a helpless Fernando Muslera and into the back of the net. Up 1-0, Roma did not look back. They dictated play for much of the second half, as Lazio struggled to create chances. The game devolved, slightly, as Lazio's frustration began to show, and in the 88th minute Stefan Radu needlessly head butted Fabio Simplicio at the corner flag, earning him a straight red card. Roma continued to press, and just a couple of minutes from time, caught Lazio on the break. Another pretty play by Totti set up a streaking Simplicio for an easy tap in, but the Brazilian was brought down in the box for a penalty. The Roma captain stepped up, again fired it past Muslera, and officially put the game out of reach for Lazio. Cristian Ledesma took his frustrations out on the referee and was rewarded with a sending off.
This night belonged to Totti and Roma, as they picked up another 3 points and continued their climb up the table. For Lazio, they cannot shake their poor form and have now fallen to 5th place, and outside the final Champions League place.
Inter traveled to Brescia on Friday hoping to make up some ground on league leaders Milan. These two teams played to a 1-1 draw in Milan earlier this season, and Brescia was determined to give their home crowd something to cheer about the second time around. The home side started well and created some early chances. Inter managed to absorb the pressure and got on the score sheet first, in the 17th minute, with a Samuel Eto'o goal, his 19th of the season. Inter went into the half leading 1-0, and continued to press straight after the restart. They had a number of chances to double their lead in the second half, with Wesley Sneijder hitting the post on one occasion, and Goran Pandev failing to find the back of the net despite a number of clear chances. In the 84th minute, Brescia was awarded a corner after a botched Andrea Ranocchia clearance. Alessandro Diamanti whipped in the corner and Ivan Cordoba's failed clearance resulted in a free header to Andrea Caracciolo, who netted the equalizer. The home side continued to press, and in the 88th minute, Eder was brought down in the box. Caracciolo stepped up to take the penalty, but was denied by Julio Cesar, whose heroics preserved the 1-1 draw.
Juve traveled to the Stadio Dino Manuzzi to take on Cesena on Saturday, hoping to turn things around in what has proven to be a dismal season for the Bianconeri. Having lost their last 3, Juve was hoping that Cesena's recent good form would run out on Saturday. Gigi Del Neri's side came out strong and took a 2-0 lead through an Alessandro Matri brace. But a penalty, converted by Luis Jimenez in the 41st minute, gave the home side hope. Motta received a second yellow, followed by a red card, right before the half, which meant Juve would need to hold on with 10 men for the entire second half. Cesena ultimately completed the comeback 10 minutes from time with a Marco Parolo strike.
Milan was hoping to increase their lead at the top of the table following Inter's shock 1-1 draw to Brescia on Friday. The home side enjoyed the bulk of the possession, as Bari looked content to sit back and absorb the pressure. Despite dominating for most of the match, it was Bari that stuck first with a 39th minute goal by Gergely Rudolf. The visitors continued to frustrate their hosts for much of the second half, and in the 73rd things went from bad to worse, as Zlatan Ibrahimovic was red carded. Finally, it was former Bari starlet Antonio Cassano who salvaged a point for the home side with a cool strike in the 82nd minute. Milan stays 5 points ahead of second place Inter with the draw.
Udinese continued to climb up the table, as its seemingly unstoppable strike force, Antonio Di Natale and Alexis Sanchez, continues to run opposing defenses ragged. Di Natale scored another 2, and Sanchez and Benatia each had one, as Udinese picked the Sardinians to pieces. Following the win today, Udinese now holds Champions League qualification in its own hands.
Samp was desperate for points as last week's embarrassing home defeat by Cesena forced them into a relegation battle. They continued to plummet down the table, however, as a stunning volley by Cristian Llama was enough to see Catania take all 3 points off Samp.
Fiorentina were coming off a 3-0 win to Catania last week, as they continued their recent run of good form. Juan Vargas scored off a free kick in the 48th minute. His goal was enough to give Fiorentina a 1-0 win.
Genoa and Palermo were both coming off Week 28 losses. Antonio Floro Flores scored for the home side, as Palermo's crisis continues.
Bologna beat Lecce with a 33rd minute Gaston Ramirez goal. Lecce remains in the relegation zone, as Bologna maintains its mid-table status.
Napoli traveled north to take on Parma, as they sought to maintain hold of the third spot and a place in the Champions League. It was the home side that scored first, however, as the Napoli defense failed to properly clear a Parma corner. Raffaele Palladino unleashed a wicked volley into the corner of the net to give Parma the lead in the 29th minute. After the restart, however, Napoli showed its true quality and completely dominated for the remainder of the match. Napoli finally scored in the 52nd minute after Lavezzi charged into the box down the right side, baffling the Parma defense, and coolly sliding across for Marek Hamsik to tip in the equalizer. Just four minutes later Lavezzi got one of his own, giving Napoli the lead, which it never relinquished. Christian Maggio finally put the game out of reach when he scored Napoli's third goal, in the 87th minute. Napoli's 3-1 win ensured that it maintained hold of the third spot.


I used to attend tuition classes at Wijaya in Ipoh Garden South. On most evenings, my family would walk a short distance from my tuition centre, and packed some fried goodies home (eg . yew char kueh (Chinese Crullers), ham chim peng, fried nin kou, etc) for tea break.
The stall is still there, but manned by different owners. But still attract the crowd, nevertheless.
Sore throat inducers … pick your poison ?
Grandma's perennial favourite. Though I find them a bit too sticky. But when eaten HOT from the wok, really satisfying. Crisp on the outside, hot and sticky on the inside.
Sticky Nian Gau sandwiched between sweet potato and yam slices. Contender for an Oscar nomination?

The first daylily bloom appeared this morning. It is no doubt a 'Stella D'Oro', which should bloom all summer long to the point that I'll likely not notice them along the edge of my patio after awhile. They will be a background to the rest of the garden.
These were some I had dug and divided this spring and I'm glad that has not kept them from blooming.
I'd be more proud of this first bloom if I had not stopped at my sister-who-does-not-garden's condo yesterday to put a few small trellises in a couple of pots with sweet potato vine growing in them. They have a whole row of these already blooming by their condo. I consoled myself that those daylilies are along a south facing wall, so the soil there probably warmed up a lot faster.
I will further console myself in large bowls of home grown lettuce. Look at all that lettuce. How shall I eat it all? In salads, on sandwiches, as snacks! I have lots of lettuce to eat and also some spinach.
The spinach is buried under all that lettuce, I promise. It has been YEARS since I've harvested any spinach from the garden, though I try to every year. Usually the bunnies get to it first. But not this year! I don't know what is different, except the neighbor's cat, Jake, comes to play in my back yard occasionally. It almost makes me want to get a cat. Almost, but not quite. Why have a cat if I can borrow the neighbor's to chase off the rabbits?
Have a great day in your garden today.
It's interesting that your daylilies have started to bloom at the same time as mine, despite the geographical distance between our gardens. Is this normally when your daylilies bloom?
Carol, that flower is gorgeous, and that lettuce (and the spinach underneath) looks thrilling! Enjoy that bounty.
I'm very jealous of that lettuce.
I'm getting to my veggie garden late this year because I'm redesigning it with all my spare time, Ha Ha!
Hi there! Yummy looking lettuce - the kind that needs no dressing. If you feel overwhelmed with it, you know where you can send the overflow!
Everything looks fabulous. I also use lettuce as wraps. I stuff it with all sorts of filling.
Love the Stella D'oro. Great picture! No buds on mine yet.
Pam/Digging... Unfortunately as spring continues, my record keeping lapses terribly, so I can't say for certain if this daylily is blooming earlier than normal.
Genie...Thanks for the comment and I'll be enjoying the lettuce for quite awhile.
Chigiy...I haven't planted the rest of my vegetable garden, so you might catch up with me, yet.
Sister with the Homestead...I'll remember!
Opal:Vegan Mom...I'll have to try lettuce wraps sometime.
Jean... I'm sure you will soon have some daylilies in bloom.
Wow, Stellas already? You should be proud. Mine are weeks away from bloom.
All that beautiful lettuce has me craving a salad!
The daylily is beautiful. mine don't have buds yet but they're nice and leafy so I know they are doing well.
Your lettuces look wonderful. What's your secret to growing spinach (before the bunnies get it)? Mine seems to be growing extremely slowly.
Our neighbours own a dog and I rarely see the neighbourhood bunny(s) but this year they seem bolder or my onions seem tastier? However they have left my pea shoots alone. In fact, they seem to have feeding spots? Squirrels, around our parts, seem to vary in how destructive / hungry they are from year to year.
I noticed a bud on one of the stella d'oro daylilies today. They're on the south side of my house, so you can see, it's quite a bit chillier where I live.
The stella has such nice foliage! I'm not a big fan of school bus yellow but others always rave about this daylily so I do have a few and the first bloom is always so welcome!
I don't particularly care for daylilies I do have the Stella D'oro at the front walkway a clump that is reliable as you say so I leave it.I prefer the exotic lily like stargazer.casablanca my fav.!
Daylilies already? Pam had some too I noticed.
Oh sighhhhhhhhhh... Home grown lettuce already!!! Lucky you.
I have two cats and a dog, but I still was compelled to fence the rabbits out of my vegetable garden.
I have Stellas blooming too, they just started last week while I was on my road trip. I have lettuces going as well.
We have lettuce and spinach all winter, as well as beet greens and arugula and kale because we have a couple of cold frames. I highly recommend investing in a nice one with automatic openers. It makes the winter salad commonplace here, so I don't end up with a lot of lettuce envy of other people.
Elliot Coleman in his book "Four Season Harvest" gives quite good instructions on how to have fresh vegetables all year round.
Wow, same zone as me, and you have a daylily bloom already?? And lettuce! Well, despite not having rain in so long, we had too much of it early on, so we didn't get the early veggies out very early. :-( It will be awhile yet. I can't wait to eat spinach right from the garden!

You decide today is a day for getting things done, it is after all your day off. You do what any person concerned with work does. You sit down at your desk. When you do you notice two empty tea cups and a one-sip-left in a can of soft drink. Not liking a messy environment you figure you will quickly tidy up. You take the teacups and put them on the kitchen bench. You take the can to the recycling bin when you realise it's full and needs to be taken out to the garbage bin.
You take the rubbish to the garage and realise tonight is bin night anyway so you put the recycling bin. While you are at it you put all the bins to the curb. You get back to the kitchen and find the teacup is actually sitting on a pile of unopened mail. You open what looks like the bills in the pile and mentally note to deal with them when you get back to your desk. so you leave them on the kitchen table to take back with you.
You get to the teacups and realise you are out of dishwashing detergent. You will have to go buy some. You go to get the car keys and notice the washing basket is full. You decide to quickly put the washing on before you go. That will save time. You get in the car and discover it's nearly out of petrol. And the supermarket is it the other direction from the petrol station.
While you are out you grab a coffee and lunch before getting back. Then you hit traffic and get home quite late. You bring in the mail but notice the mailbox post is rotting. you have some spare wood in the garage but your work bench has the remnants of when you tried to fix the shelf for your bathroom. You could just fix the mailbox post with cable ties but how long would that last?
With a stubborn determination to get SOMETHING done today you take the mailbox into your work bench, and start working on top of the other project because you basically have no choice any more. When you go to measure and mark the wood it seems like every pencil needs sharpening, as does the saw. The drill has a flat battery, the last drill bit of the right size is broken, you have only three screws that are galvanised and one that is not. you drill the guide hole too small, bend a screw in the process of getting it into the wood, slip and wound the bathroom shelf project, and eventually re-assemble a mailbox.
You get the mailbox on the fence but it's getting dark and you need dinner. You can't help but wonder where the day went. It feels like you worked hard all day but you barely have anything to show for it.
Tomorrow you are back at work but maybe you need to take another day off, a tantalising prospect... You have a deal with your boss that you can take the day off only if you could explain why you need another day off. Of course that might require writing a note, which might require a working pen from the stationary cupboard, or sending an email, which you swore to not do before reading all the unread ones that are waiting for you... And it would be nice to pay those bills.
The problem here is that you spent all day shaving yaks (see also "there's a hole in my bucket"). In a startup that translates to not doing the tasks that get customers – the tasks which get money and actually make an impact, say "playing with the UI". It's easy to see why such anti-yak shaving sentiment would exist (see also: bikeshedding, rearranging deck chairs on the titanic, hamming questions). You can spend a whole day doing a whole lot of nothings; getting to bed and wonder what you actually accomplished that day (hint: a whole lot of running in circles).
It's not just one problem, but a series of problems that come to your attention in a sequence.
this sort of behaviour is not like bikeshedding at all. Nor is it doing insignificant things under the guise of "real work". Instead this is about tackling what stands in the way of your problem. In problem solving in the real world, Don't yak shave" is not what I have found to be the solution.
I propose that yak shaving presents a very important sign that things are broken.
The scenario above is my version of hell incarnate. Real life is probably not that bad but things like that come up all the time. They act as open loops, tax your mind (kind of like the debatable ego depletion concept) and don't really represent you being in a good place.
If something is broken, and you are living with it, that's not acceptable. You need a system in your life to regularly get around to fixing it. Notepads, reviews, list keeping, set time aside for doing it and plan to fix things.
So I say, Yak Shave, as much, as long, and as many times as it takes till there are no more yaks to shave.
A question worth asking is whether you are in your life at present causing a build up of problems, a decrease of problems, or roughly keeping them about the same level.
If you are a person who keeps quantified tracking of yourself - this might be easier to answer. than if you do less tracking. maybe you have to do lists, maybe some notepads, any way to know if you are getting better or worse at this.
Part 1: In support of yak shaving. I would recommend a quick read over it. I don't honestly want to quote the entire thing here but it's so so so so so relevant.
It seems to me that the form of yak shaving you describe is a maintenance problem. The things in your life that are broken, are broken because they require maintenance that hasn't been performed. Until it suddenly becomes an urgent necessity.
You can fix that by doing all the required yak shaving...maybe. But the most dedicated yak shaving routine will fail if your yak herd has expanded until its maintenance cost exceeds all available time.
Instead, own fewer yaks. Figure out what in your environment requires maintenance. Then automate it, outsource it, or get rid of it. Join a makerspace instead of having your own workbench. Electronicise and (preferably) automate all your bills. Get rid of anything that 1. doesn't see regular use, and 2. is prone to requiring shaving. Hire a housekeeper. Rent an apartment where management is responsible for things that break instead of you -- if you can afford it, rent one that does valet trash and laundry. Get amazon prime and get used to waiting two days for anything you have to buy. Then never go shopping for non-perishables in person again. If you live somewhere that you can get groceries delivered, do that too.
Edit: Use services like Fancyhands for fourth quadrant stuff that you nonetheless still want done.
A great time to do this sort of life-cleaning is when you move -- it's easier to overcome the "but what if I need it?" mental roadblock if you can reply "but if I junk it, it's that much less I have to pack and unpack." Make laziness work for you.
I'm curious - what have you outsourced to Fancy Hands? I know in theory that I should be outsourcing stuff to services like that, but I really don't know what stuff I can effectively outsource in practice.
Honestly, mostly phone calls. It sounds silly, but I have a paralytic fear of calling strangers, and that leads me to procrastinate far more than is normal even for me. Making someone else do things like (for today's example) call around to find someone who will take a couch I'm trying to donate ensures that it doesn't stay in the middle of the spare room for 6-12 months while I dither.

Hannon being owner in fee simple and free from lien of a house and lot in Alexandria, granted out of it by an old-fashioned formal ground-rent deed, with clause of right of re-entry, &c., in 1819, a rent charge of $224 to Moore, with right of distress, re-entry, &c. In 1821 Hannon died insolvent, and the rent not being paid, Moore 'took possession' of the house again, though in what mode or whether with any of the requisites of a common law re-entry did not appear.
In 1825 being still in possession he conveyed the rent charge, describing it in form, to one Irwin, and Irwin in 1854 conveyed it with the lot on which it was charged to R. M. and J. M. Smith; Irwin and Smith, each respectively, being in possession of the house and lot, after they became owners of the rent, as Moore had, himself, been after Hannon's death; and each paying the taxes assessed against the house and lot while he held it.
In May, 1861, on the outbreak of the rebellion, Smith abandoned his residence and went within the rebel lines.
On the 5th of August of that year,  Congress passed an act laying a 'direct tax of $20,000,000 annually upon the United States,' and apportioning the same in a manner which it set forth, among the several States. The act provided particularly for assessing and collecting of the tax, directing that it should be collected from persons at their dwellings, in the first instance; and if not paid should be obtained by distress and sale of personal property; and if persons could not be found, and there was no personal property, then 'by public sale of so much of the said property as shall be necessary to satisfy the taxes due thereon, together with an addition of 20 per cent.' The act then provided for giving a deed, but did not in any part declare what should be the effect of the sale or deed, or that it should divest liens of any kind.
The act authorized each State to assume, assess, collect, and pay its quota of the tax; and the loyal States did do this. In the rebel States nothing could be done.
'SECTION 1. That when, in any State, . . . by reason of insurrection or rebellion, the civil authority of the government of the United States is obstructed so that the provisions of the act approved August 5th, 1861 [the act last above mentioned], cannot be peaceably executed, the said direct taxes by the said act apportioned among the several States, &c., shall be apportioned and charged in each, upon all the lands or lots of ground situate therein respectively . . . as the said lands or lots of ground were enumerated and valued under the last assessment and valuation thereof, made under the authority of said State . . . previous to the 1st day of January, 1861; and each and every parcel of the said lands, according to the said valuation, is hereby declared to be . . . charged with the payment of so much of the whole tax laid and apportioned by said act upon the State, &c., wherein the same is respectively situate, as shall bear the same direct proportion to the whole amount of the direct tax apportioned to said State, &c., as to value of said parcels of land shall respectively bear to the whole valuation of the real estate in said State, according to the said assessment and valuation made under the authority of the same. And, in addition thereto, a penalty of 50 per cent. of said tax shall be charged thereon.
'SECTION 2. That on or before the 1st day of July next, the President by his proclamation shall declare in what States and parts of States said insurrection exists, and thereupon the said several lots or parcels of land shall become charged respectively with their respective portions of said direct tax, and the same, together with the penalty, shall be a lien thereon without any other or further proceeding whatever.
'SECTION 3. That it shall be lawful for the owner or owners of said lots or parcels of lands within sixty days after the tax commissioners herein named shall have fixed the amount, to pay the tax thus charged, &c.
'SECTION 4. That the title of, in, and to each and every piece or parcel of land upon which said tax has not been paid as above provided, shall thereupon become forfeited to the United States; and upon the sale hereinafter provided for, shall vest in the United States or in the purchasers at such sale, in fee simple, free and discharged from all prior liens, incumbrances, right, title, and claim whatsoever.
'SECTION 5. That the President of the United States, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, may appoint a board of three tax commissioners, &c.
The part in [ ] of the new section is a change, it will be seen, upon the part of the old one (supra, pp. 555-6) in similar [ ].
In a subsequent part of it, this substituted section 7, makes, like the old one, a right of redemption of the land sold (within sixty days), 'to any loyal person of the United States having any valid lien upon or interest in the same;' with a provision for persons under disabilities, &c.
With these statutes on the statute-book, and the property in Alexandria, mentioned at the beginning of this statement, being assessed on the land-book of Virginia, on the 1st of March, 1864, at $3500, the tax commissioners of the United States (not themselves bidding at all) sold it, in professed pursuance of the acts of Congress, for $1750 (less than two-thirds, $2333, of its assessed value) to one Turner, describing it as a house on Royal Street, between King and Prince Streets at Alexandria, in the State of Virginia, 'said to have belonged to R. M. and J. M. Smith,' and charged to them on the land-book of the State aforesaid for the year 1860.
The rebellion being suppressed the Smiths-never having offered as 'holders of a valid lien' or otherwise to redeem brought suit in proper form against Turner to recover certain arrears of the ground-rent. Turner claimed title to the lot free of rent under the sale for taxes, made by authority of the several acts of Congress, already mentioned, for imposing and collecting a direct tax. The decision of the court where the suit was brought was against the title thus set up, that is to say, it was in favor of the Smiths, and their rent, and this decision being affirmed in the highest court of the State,  the case was here for review.
The length of time in which Moore and those who succeeded him were in possession, that is to say, the lapse of time from 1821 (when Hannon died and Moore resumed possession of his house) to 1864, when this sale was made, is sufficient to raise a presumption of either a re-entry in 1821 with all the requisite forms of the common law, or of a re-lease then or afterwards by Hannon's heirs. After such a term as forty-two years, almost any presumption necessary to sustain a party in possession will e made. By such a re-entry or release, a merger took place,  and there ceased to be two separate estates in the one property. The house and lot, free of ground-rent, thus became Smith's; and being regularly sold to Turner, he was owner of it discharged of all incumbrance.
This would all be so on principles of common law, but the fourth section of the act of June 7th, 1862, gives a disincumbered estate to the purchaser, even if the owner of the fee held it incumbered to its entire value. The estate may indeed be defeated by the holder by any valid lien, being a loyal person, if he redeem in the mode specified in the acts. But no such redemption is pretended. In any aspect, therefore, the judgment should be reversed.
1. The case showed only that the owner of the rent charge took possession of the premises. A re-entry with common-law formalities cannot from this be inferred, nor a release from the heirs of the owner of the ground. The only inference is an act of trespass by the owner of the rent and a violation by him of the rights of his tenant. And this inference is made a certainty by Moore's conveyance of the rent eo nomine in 1825 to Irwin, as a thing then existing.
2d. Of a fee simple title to the rent charge in the Smiths; an incorporeal hereditament.
Hence there were two separate and distinct estates; one of them, the land, was sold for the tax; the other, the rent, remained intact.
It would, indeed, be a forced construction to say that an incorporeal hereditament is a lien, incumbrance upon, or a right, title, or claim to land, in the sense contemplated by the act, for the rent may have been held by a citizen most devoted to the cause of the United States, and residing in a State not in insurrection; who could have no notice of a contemplated sale of his property, either directly or by the terms of the act, as it does not provide for a tax upon such species of property.
2. The land was sold for less than two-thirds of its value. This made the sale void. The act of 1863 requires the tax commissioners to bid off the land to the United States 'at a sum not exceeding two-thirds of the assessed value.' They did no such thing. The assessed value was $3500. Two-thirds of that sum is $2333.33. They sold it for $1750. Literally construed, indeed, the language authorized to bid off' may be but permissive, and not mandatory. But it is a general rule of construction that where power is conferred by statute on public officers in language which, literally construed, is but permissive, the language will be construed as peremptory whenever the power is conferred for the benefit of the public or of individuals. And by no court has this doctrine been declared more emphatically than by this. Witness the case of Supervisors v. United States,  in which words so little mandatory in form as the words may, if deemed advisable,' were construed as imposing a positive and absolute duty; the court citing cases from old reports like Skinner and Salkeld; 'leading cases on the subject,' which it declares 'have been followed in numerous English and American adjudications,' to this day. In the present case the authority was conferred for the benefit of the government of the United States, representing the whole public; and the government had a right to claim its exercise by the commissioners as a duty imperative on them. Congress could not, by the act of 1863, have intended to leave the commissioners to say what lands should be bid off and what not; any more than it could have so intended by the act of 1862, in which, certainly, it did not so intend. It meant, in all cases, to take the land for the United States if it could be obtained on the terms specified in the act, and to deny authority to the commissioners to sell it to any other purchaser.

Customized Washburn Billy T 6 string solid body electric guitar | Electric Guitar upgrades, builds, repairs. Lefty, hollow body!!!!
Get ready for the holidays!! Reduced for that guitarist on your list!!
This Washburn Billy T has been customized to take advantage of some of the best pickups on earth. As with all KJug Guitars Upgrades, this one gets a full size Bourns A500K pot and a mechanical 3 way toggle switch.
The neck pickup is a Bare Knuckles Abraxas. An overwound vintage sounding alnico IV pup with great midrange and low end. It's like an SD SH2 on steroids in the neck.
The bridge pup is a War by Dominger Custom Pickups. The Dominger Raw is a maniac of a bridge pickup with tons of output and excellent attack. It cleans up very well at low clean volume, and is vicious and aggressive at high volume and distortion.
A shredder guitar of simplicity, this guitar was built with a single volume knob and a 3 way switch, period. The Floyd Rose bridge and Grover Tuners are premiere components as well. This is a well made guitar!
For variety, I added an on/on/on switch to get additional split and parallel sound out of the Abraxas. I used the slug side to get a softer tone. All three positions blend well with the Raw when the 3 way switch is in the middle position.

The Wolf Among Us: Season 1 Episode 5 Review (PS3)
Christopher Joseph
Review Context: I have played quite a few interactive adventures in my years as a gamer; these include Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two souls and The Walking Dead Season 1. I have beaten and enjoyed them all and since The Wolf Among Us is developed by the now critically acclaimed Telltale Games, I came into it with high expectations.

The Wolf Among Us: Season Finale – Episode 5 – 'Cry Wolf' Trailer
The final episode of The Wolf Among Us picks up right where episode four left off; with Bigby finally meeting face to face with the crooked man and his accomplices. The crooked man wants to avoid a violent encounter so he offers to negotiate on friendly terms with Bigby. Needless to say, the negotiation does not go smoothly and the following events that transpire include: A three on one face-off involving the accomplices and Bigby, a car chase sequence, and an epic showdown between Bloody Mary and Bigby.
This episode provided all the factors needed to end the game on a high note and leave players yearning for more. Once again the soundtrack was stellar, providing the perfect backdrop for the intense dialogue and dangerous situations that Bigby finds himself himself in. Speaking of dialogue, they played an even bigger role this time around because the decisions you make will influence how the other characters feel about you overall and will shape what future event occurs before the inevitable ending.
There were many highlights, but the one that stood out among the rest for me was the altercation between Bigby and Bloody Mary; this was Bigby's most challenging fight and without spoiling much, let's just say he undertook a new wolf transformation which left me speechless. The voice acting was phenomenal as usual and it complimented the intriguing characters well. I will not say much about the ending except for be prepared for some surprising revelations. Oh, and yes the ending was definitely worthwhile in case you were wondering.
I definitely enjoyed this episode; it left me very satisfied, shocked (in a good way), and very eager for the next installment in the series. The only negatives were the frequent and long load times. These momentarily took me out of the game and occasionally gave me no alternative choice but to restart my system. This was the sole technical hiccup however and did not take much away from an otherwise outstanding game. If you are into interactive adventure games with excellent stories, intriguing characters, highly immersive gameplay, then look no further than The Wolf Among Us.

Prix de Diane second Amour A Papa gives birth to a filly.
The young sire was represented by his first foal born on Friday night, a filly out of Amour A Papa (Montmartre), who was a model of consistency through her racing career and placed second in the 2014 Prix de Diane. The dark bay foal was described by her breeders, Carole and Jean-Yves Artu, as "tall with good bone and a strong back and hindquarters." Amour A Papa had visited another Aga Khan stallion for her first cover, SIYOUNI, and the resulting two-year-old filly named Amour Amour is in training with Jean-Yves Artu, who had also trained her dam.
A Group 1 winner on the racetrack, ZARAK boasts one of the most appealing pedigrees, being a son of leading sire Dubawi out of the unbeaten Champion ZARKAVA. He covered a first full book of mares in 2018 and is proving equally popular this season. ZARAK stands alongside leading French sire SIYOUNI and the Group 1 winning son of Shamardal, DARIYAN, who has his first yearlings this year.


On Thursday May 1, local elections took place in various parts of the country. While the far-right British National party (BNP) did not do as well as they had hoped, they were able to win one seat on the London Assembly, meaning that a fascist is now one of the twenty-five people running London.
While they made no gains in Nottinghamshire (where there were elections in Bassetlaw, in which the BNP fielded only one candidate), in Derbyshire they got their first two seats on Amber Valley Borough Council with Chris Roper taking Heanor East and Lewis Allestree winning Heanor West. In Heanor & Loscoe Paul Snell polled 512 votes, to the victorious Labour candidates 513. These results, while worrying in themselves, are of particular interest because it is within the Amber Valley area that the BNP are planning on holding their annual Red, White and Blue festival.
The BNP have applied to the council for a premises licence for the event to allow the sale of alcohol and the performance of music. The public consultation on this application ended on May 6. A number of concerned organisations objected to this application, only to find their objections rejected, ostensibly because they were not based within the affected area. Even where groups have been able to point to members living within the Amber Valley area, there objections have been rejected on the same basis. Several groups, including Notts Stop the BNP, are currently looking into appealing this decision. Regardless of the outcome of any appeal, a protest is planned when the application is considered by the council.
The BNP fielded seven candidates in the Amber Valley area and stood a further two in Derby. The lowest share of the BNP vote in Derbyshire was 11% in Allestree (Derby). In Chaddesden (Derby) the BNP polled 18% and beat the Liberal Democrats into fourth place. The lowest share of the BNP vote in Amber Valley was 12%, in Kilburn, Denby and Holbrook. Generally, the vote was much higher with 36 - 40% in the three Heanor wards and around one fifth or more in most of the other Amber Valley wards. The one exception to this being Codnor and Waingroves where Alan Warner, the owner of the land to be used for the Red White and Blue festival, stood (despite having recently resigned from Heanor Town Council and Denby Parish Council in a huff because nobody listened to him). The former-Tory received 17% of the vote in a three-way contest, perhaps reflecting opposition to the festival amongst those most affected. The general trends in Amber Valley together with the Allestree result, suggest that the BNP is attracting more votes in the most deprived wards.
Their successes demonstrate that the BNP has rebounded from the messy split they underwent at the end of last year after Broxtowe Borough Councillor Sadie Graham was expelled from the party. They certainly have not suffered the long term damage that some observers had anticipated. It has been suggested that the party's obvious success in building a base in Heanor specifically can be attributed, at least in part, to the presence of the festival in the area last year.
While last year's festival was very controversial amongst people living in the immediate vicinity, there was little opposition by the anti-fascist movement. This year local campaigners have been organising against the event since late last year. In January, a conference held in The Meadows to act as a springboard to launch the campaign attracted more than 100 participants and was supported by an array of union branches and anti-racist organisations. In their latest newsletter Antifa have announced that they will also be mobilising against the event.


Borderlands 2 is coming to the PS VITA!!
It just got announced on the GDC from Sony..
I might just spend the $250 only to play this game. Mind you I already have it for Xbox 360, PS3, and my PC.
That ended on Sunday now we have 50% more on amythong you trade in until September 15.
Depends on the store, mine applied to a Used Vita, so check there first. Also there should be a price drop to 169.99 for a used Vita (Not the 3g one).
Well now it's cheaper. Just make sure you buy one of their overpriced storage cards, cause you need it.
They also announced that they were going to "significantly" lower the price on those as well.
I hope so. I'd like to grab a Vita just for this. I'll play it on my monthly plane rides.
I am one of the 11 or so Vita owners and I actually really enjoy my portable Final Fantasy classics gaming device.
As a person with zero appreciation for the FF series. I'm glad you've found joy in that piece of hardware, as so far, there's been nothing for me on it.
My hit-to-miss ratio is sadness!
Anyone know if you'll be able to transfer your saves/play with other people online or locally? And will I have to rebuy all the DLC?
Figured I'd ask. But still, BL2 on the go is gonna be sweet.
I'm not sure. I don't have a Vita. And I don't have BL2 for the PS3.
Yes. Most games now are Cross-save and cross-buy on the vita (I own one), so I'm hopefully this would apply to BL2 on the vita.
My "old man eyes" will not be able to see targets far away on the smaller screen.

Brewers do not work out deal for Reds right-hander Matt Harvey after making waiver claim
The Brewers reportedly put in a waiver claim on Cincinnati right-hander Matt Harvey but did not work out a deal for him on Friday.

The Milwaukee Brewers had a chance to acquire Cincinnati Reds right-hander Matt Harvey on Friday after making a waiver claim but did not work out a deal, for whatever reasons.
Multiple sources, including Jon Heyman of fancred.com and the MLB Network, reported that the Brewers were awarded a waiver claim on Harvey and had until 12:30 p.m. to work out a deal. That deadline passed and Reds general manager Nick Krall confirmed his club was keeping Harvey, who then pitched against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.
Following his policy of not commenting on reports of personnel discussions, Brewers general manager David Stearns would not confirm the trade talks for Harvey or the waiver claim.
"I know there has been a lot of reporting out there the last 24 hours but I'm going to stick with my policy and not comment on any specific trade discussion or activity," Stearns said. "Clearly, there is waiver activity right now. There are a lot of players being put on waivers.
"We've claimed some. Some have been publicly reported; some have not."
During the August trading period, teams routinely put players through waivers to gauge interest of other clubs. If a claim is made, the player can be given to the claiming team or the sides can attempt to work out a trade. Otherwise, the player's team can withdraw him from waivers and keep him, as the Reds did with Harvey.

Reds general manager Nick Krall did not confirm he talked with the Brewers but explained the decision to keep Harvey: "We made an organizational decision. We could not come to an agreement that made sense for us. We felt that it made more sense to keep him and gain positive momentum for our club through the end of this season and heading into next season."
There was speculation afterward that Reds owner Bob Castellini did not want to trade Harvey, with hopes of signing him as a free agent after the season.

HAUDRICOURT: Brewers have changed closers during a season many times
The Brewers reportedly had interest in Harvey leading up to the July 31 non-waiver deadline but no deal was made then, either. They were in touch with several clubs at that time but failed to pick up a pitcher after acquiring infielders Mike Moustakas and Jonathan Schoop.
Having tried and failed multiple times to trade for starting pitchers, including last season when the Brewers fell a game short of the playoffs, Stearns was asked if perhaps he values that commodity differently from others.
"Most of the trade discussions we have with other teams don't lead to deals," he said. "It's not particularly unusual in any circumstance to engage with another team and not have it lead to a transaction.
"On different players, we are going to use different ways to value them. As I said, we have confidence in our starting staff. This is a group that has pitched competitively through the vast majority of this season and we think they will continue to do so."
Entering play Friday, the Brewers were in third place in the division, 3 1/2 games behind the Cubs and a half-game behind surging St. Louis. The Cardinals were in the top wild-card spot, with the Brewers and Rockies in a virtual tie for the second spot, a half-game behind.
Harvey, 29, can be a free agent after the season, which is why the Reds had him on the trade market. He is far from his "Dark Knight" days in New York, where he was a dominant force in a Mets' rotation with many young, promising arms.
Harvey was an all-star in 2013 (9-5, 2.27 in 26 starts) but injured his elbow and had Tommy John reconstructive surgery, missing the '14 season. He returned in 2015 and had a brilliant season (13-8, 2.71), helping the Mets advance to the World Series. Harvey made four postseason starts, going 2-0 with a 3.04 ERA, but New York eventually bowed to Kansas City.
Harvey had thoracic outlet surgery in 2016, during which a rib is removed to restore normal blood flow to the shoulder and arm, but he continued to have shoulder problems in 2017. Those injuries took a toll: he went 4-10 with a 4.86 ERA in 17 starts in '16 and 5-7, 6.70 in 19 games in '17, losing both velocity and command.
When Harvey continued to struggle early this season (0-2, 7.00 in eight games, including four starts), the Mets moved him to the bullpen. They then tried to send him to the minors to get squared away, but he refused that demotion and was designated for assignment.
On May 8, the Mets traded Harvey to Cincinnati for catcher Devin Mesoraco and cash. Harvey performed a bit better for the last-place Reds, going 6-5 with a 4.28 ERA in 17 starts.
Harvey threw the ball well last time out against San Francisco, taking a no-hitter into the sixth inning. He went 6 1/3 innings, allowing four hits and no runs, with one walk and five strikeouts. Over his last two starts, Harvey went 13 1/3 innings, allowing only nine hits and two runs (1.35 ERA) with two walks and 12 strikeouts.

A Damning Exoneration: DOJ's Inspector General on the Apple v. FBI Crypto Fight
by Julian Sanchez
As the Department of Justice relaunches its perennial campaign to demand backdoor access to encrypted data and communications, a new report from DOJ's Inspector General has shed unflattering light on the most famous recent battle of the long-running Crypto Wars: The FBI's aborted 2016 effort to compel Apple's assistance to unlock an encrypted iPhone.
Many privacy advocates at the time regarded the FBI's effort with a cynical eye. Though the FBI says it has thousands of encrypted phones the Bureau would like to access in connection with criminal inquiries, it chose to pick a very public fight with Apple to test a legal strategy for compelling assistance in a uniquely high-profile case: The investigation into the December 2015 terrorist mass shooting in San Bernardino California. Even at the time, there was little reason to think much useful evidence would be gleaned from the deceased perpetrator's work-issued iPhone. The shooter had destroyed his personal phone, yet left the work-issued iPhone intact, and in any event, there was no indication the attack itself had been orchestrated or directed by any larger group.
Nevertheless, this was the occasion on which the FBI and Department of Justice decided to try out a novel and aggressive legal tactic: They sought and (initially) obtained an order under the All Writs Act of 1789, compelling Apple to assist the Bureau in executing a lawful search warrant by writing and authenticating a custom version of the iOS operating system that, once installed on the deceased shooter's phone, would allow investigators an unlimited number of attempts to guess his passcode. Conspicuously, the government opted not to file its application under seal, as they routinely do, and as one might expect if they were attempting to conceal the state of investigation from potential co-conspirators. When Apple exercised its legal right to push back, DOJ ratcheted up the rhetoric, blasting the company for putting its "brand marketing strategy" above the public interest in preventing lethal terrorist attacks. There was no subtlety here: DOJ lawyers clearly hoped to leverage an emotionally charged, high-profile case to set a friendly legal precedent, garnering sympathy from legislators and the public in the process.
Of course, for the government to propose pressing Apple's engineers into involuntary service, it had to establish that such conscription was the only feasible means by which they could access the phone. The Justice Department asserted as much repeatedly, claiming in their initial application that "the assistance sought can only be provided by Apple" because the company possessed "the exclusive technical means which would assist the government in completing its search." Variants on that claim would recur in each of the increasingly hostile legal briefs Apple and DOJ exchanged over the following month until, abruptly, the government dropped its suit, announcing that one of their outside vendors had developed an exploit that would grant them access to the iPhone after all.
Which brings us to the Inspector General's report released last week. It is the result of an inquiry opened at the urging of a senior FBI official, Executive Assistant Director Amy Hess, who "became concerned" that the head of FBI's cryptanalytic unit "did not seem to want to find a technical solution, and that perhaps he knew of a solution but remained silent in order to pursue his own agenda of obtaining a favorable court ruling against Apple." That should, in itself, seem rather extraordinary. And what the IG found suggests her concerns were well founded: The FBI unit tasked with breaking into the San Bernardino iPhone had made only halfhearted efforts to solicit help from other units, stressing that the information was sought for a criminal investigation—which was internally perceived as discouraging other units from offering up classified intelligence tools that might be exposed in a criminal court proceeding. It was only days before DOJ filed its request to compel Apple's assistance that a broader request for "any" method—classified or unclassified—was circulated.
As the IG explains, the head of FBI's Remote Operations Unit, another part of the Bureau's Technical Surveillance Section, had known all long that one of their outside vendors was 90 percent done with an exploit that would have obviated the need to compel help from Apple. In response to this final request for "any" method, the ROU chief finally requested that the outside vendor prioritize work on that exploit—which they finished in just a few weeks. And yet, far from celebrating this development, the ROU chief described the head of FBI's cryptanalysis unit as "definitely not happy" that their perfect test case—the lawsuit Hess had described as their "poster child" in the FBI's legal fight against unbreakable encryption—had to be abandoned.
Technically, the IG report absolves the FBI and DOJ of formal wrongdoing: The officials pushing the legal campaign to conscript Apple had not had concrete knowledge of an alternative way into the iPhone when the justice department made its representations that Apple's assistance was necessary. Technically, DOJ lawyers had not lied to the court, and then–FBI Director James Comey had not lied in testimony to Congress, when they claimed that the FBI had no method to access the phone absent Apple's help. But the inescapable impression left by the report is that they did not know because they did not care to. Here, finally, was the ideal case: Not some petty drug dealer, but a terrorist shooter who'd left stacks of bodies in his wake. The courts, cowed by the invocation of national security, would be at their most deferential; the public at its most skittish. Legislators of both parties would dutifully lambast Apple for placing corporate profits over the need to prevent terrorist attacks. It was a public relations opportunity too perfect to squander by finding some mundane technical solution—and so only the most cursory effort was made to do so. If the government had considered it as urgent to access the iPhone as it pretended in its court filings—urgent enough to put out a clear request for methods at the outset—it seems likely they could have had their solution well before the date they first turned to the courts.
None of this is to suggest FBI officials aren't sincere in their more general belief that it's vital they be granted some legal mechanism for "exceptional access" to encrypted communications. But the IG's report provides good reason to regard some of their more sensational arguments with a healthy dose of skepticism.

Viknesh Vijayenthiran December 27, 2018 Comment Now!
The British firm is working on its first redesign for the Defender since the original debuted in 1983, with the covers to come off the new generation sometime in 2019. A showroom appearance will follow in 2020.
Prototypes for both three- and five-door body styles have already been spotted testing in the United Kingdom, and starting next month some of the testers will hit roads in North America. Naturally, they will be tested off the road, too. Land Rover is keen to make the new Defender its most off-road capable vehicle yet.
This means engineers will subject prototypes to extreme conditions, ensuring they're fully capable of operating at temperatures as cold as -40 F and as hot as 120 F. The prototypes will also have to endure long stints at altitudes of more than 13,000 feet above sea level.
Land Rover remains tight with details but it's been reported the new Defender will be the first model to ride on a newly developed platform known as the Modular Longitudinal Architecture (MLA), which will be shared with next-generation versions of the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Discovery. The move will likely mean fully independent suspension front and rear, though a low-range transfer case and multiple differential locks should ensure strong off-road performance.
We also know the MLA platform will allow an electric powertrain to be fitted to the new Defender. A gas engine as well as a plug-in hybrid setup should also feature.
As for pricing, Land Rover is likely to position the new Defender somewhere between the $53,085 Discovery and $67,745 Range Rover Sport. The good news is that the positioning will likely be closer to the Discovery, as Land Rover is well aware that many Defender faithful use the vehicles as a workhorse.
To keep costs low, there are rumors Land Rover will handle production at its new plant in Slovakia, where the Discovery is built. That way Land Rover can free up capacity at its main plant in the U.K. for the premium Range Rover models, though the automaker may still choose to keep production of its most iconic model on British soil. Stay tuned.

Espoo, Finland - Major addition to Nokia's monetization portfolio helps service providers improve the digital customer experience, implement innovative business models and unlock new revenue opportunities.
Today, communications service providers' customers expect compelling, real-time digital experiences. However, legacy revenue management systems hinder their ability to build digital businesses, and efforts to update these systems are often costly, time consuming and prone to failure.
Nokia's monetization portfolio provides a modern approach. It features Nokia's new Smart Plan Suite, a truly cloud-native, 5G-ready offering, providing integrated real-time charging, policy control and customer engagement capabilities. Using continuous delivery principles and DevOps automation, Nokia Smart Plan Suite software is updated regularly so that service providers always have access to the latest and most advanced capabilities.
Nokia's monetization portfolio, inclusive of Smart Plan Suite, empowers service providers to deliver highly personalized and contextualized offers at the ideal moment, enabling them to enrich and monetize subscribers' digital experiences. Nokia Smart Plan Suite is complemented by Nokia's mediation, digital sales channel, real-time decisioning and machine learning-powered analytics software. These technologies provide more precise subscriber information to enable automated, real-time engagements. As a result, the solution can increase subscriber take-up rates of campaigns by more than 400 percent.
Nokia Smart Plan Suite software links service providers with partner ecosystems to support smart ads, sponsored data, content and over-the-top providers, enabling the creation of new use cases. By integrating with webscale offerings, such as Google's Mobile Data Plan Sharing API, it can deliver a better experience for mobile subscribers by providing innovative in-application offerings.
"Service providers need a new approach if they are to deliver the personalized, contextualized and immediate experiences consumers have become accustomed to from leading webscale companies. Most revenue management systems in use within telcos today are monolithic in nature and weren't designed to support such modern experiences. The industry needs to adopt a different approach, and solutions based on a cloud-native architecture such as Nokia's Smart Plan Suite are key to helping CSPs cross the chasm in enabling a new class of innovative and engaging customer experiences."
"In order to build thriving digital businesses our customers must modernize their business and operations platforms. Our portfolio allows them to engage with subscribers in 'digital time." This means delivering the right service through the right channel the moment they need it. We do this by providing 'connected intelligence' -- we connect insights, people, processes and technologies to help service providers monetize their services, push the limits of automation and delight their customers."

Q: Selecting columns using query statement in pandas dataframe I have the following pandas dataframe. Each point is combined with 'n' class points of each class, and each combination has a value of 0 or 1.
Now for each point, I want to get the class which has the highest number of '0'.
Output :
Pt.1 - a
Pt.2 -b
I have tried with hash table, but its being a bit cumbersome. What can be an elegant pandas dataframe query for this?
+------+-------+-------+--+--+--+
| Pt.  | class | value |  |  |  |
+------+-------+-------+--+--+--+
| Pt.1 | a     |     0 |  |  |  |
| Pt.1 | a     |     0 |  |  |  |
| Pt.1 | a     |     1 |  |  |  |
| Pt.1 | b     |     0 |  |  |  |
| Pt.1 | b     |     1 |  |  |  |
| pt.1 | b     |     1 |  |  |  |
| Pt.2 | a     |     1 |  |  |  |
| Pt.2 | a     |     1 |  |  |  |
| Pt.2 | a     |     1 |  |  |  |
| Pt.2 | b     |     0 |  |  |  |
| Pt.2 | b     |     0 |  |  |  |
| Pt.2 | b     |     0 |  |  |  |
|      |       |       |  |  |  |
+------+-------+-------+--+--+--+

A: First filter only 0 rows by boolean indexing and then count by groupby with value_counts which sorts output, so is necessary seelct first index value by indexing:
df = (df[df['value'] == 0].groupby('Pt.')['class']
                          .apply(lambda x: x.value_counts().index[0])
                          .reset_index(name='top1'))
print (df)
    Pt. top1
0  Pt.1    a
1  Pt.2    b

Similar alternative with query for filtering:
df = (df.query("value == 0")
        .groupby('Pt.')['class']
        .apply(lambda x: x.value_counts().index[0])
        .reset_index(name='top1'))
print (df)
    Pt. top1
0  Pt.1    a
1  Pt.2    b


Summer is the season to be merry. It is the time to go somewhere else to relax and take a vacation. But is the time to be mindful of your health. With the sunny days coming ahead, you need to ensure that you are in tiptop condition.
Summer is probably the hottest season of the year. Hence, you need to ensure that you are hydrated. Get your fill of electrolytes by drinking lots of water. Try to increase your water intake to compensate for your excessive sweating. Be sure to bring a bottle with you always. You can also eat water-rich food and produce with high-water content like watermelon, apricots, and grapefruit. You can also include veggies like celeries and radishes on your meal. These two vegetables are comprised of 95 percent water.
If you feel a little bit bloated and healthy, then maybe it is time to switch up your diet and go for a healthier meal plan. The first thing that you need to do is identify your nutritional needs. That way, you can craft a set of menus that would address your fitness goals and nutritional deficiencies. If you don't have an idea on how to do it, ask an expert specializing in healthy food to lose weight in Dubai to help you with this.
This summer, the sun is at your beck and call. Why not take advantage of this season and get some Vitamin D for your body. Vitamin D is essential for bone growth. Low levels of Vitamin D in the body can lead to poor posture, bone and muscle pain, and depression. Deficiency in Vitamin D can also lead to serious health issues like being high risk of getting breast cancer.
Your mental health is as important as your physical health. Be sure to take some time off work to empty and relax your mind. A mind retreat can help relieve stress and also revitalize your mind so you can face tougher challenges in work and in life.
If you are feeling tired and restless, then a shut eye is in order. Getting complete sleep is important to help your body repair itself. Taking naps is also good, especially if you are too stressed at work.
