If not does 10.3 have it?
I know that mate but sometimes I have to attach an older email in order to communicate something in my current email.
E.g - as communicated earlier(email attached) this was to be taken care by your team.
Why not copy paste the email?
I use an app called Exporter in BB World. It saves my desired mails as plan txt documents that can easily be attached and forwarded.

But a device marketed as a business device should have this feature.
Added to my original post if you need to send in .eml format, but I agree it would be nice to do it without an app.
Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was looking for, indeed a very useful application.
EE pushing BB add-on - but I have a BB10 OS and do not need it. right?

All bags are hand made and may vary in sizes.
Standard size is 25 cm x 20 cm.


On 30 April 2018, Soweto International Jazz Day featured musical acts that have amassed huge support in the alternative youth culture space. This multi-media platform was presented in the form of live music and an art exhibition hosted at Eyethu Lifestyle Centre in partnership with His and Hers Jams.
Eyethu Lifetstyle Centre was abuzz on the day, as the event attracted jazz lovers from all over Gauteng, tourists and the local community of Soweto while celebrating communities' rich diversity and jazz heritage.
Soweto International Jazz Day is a contributor to the developing Soweto arts economy and is a bridge towards building a sustainable arts industry. This event is a major contributor towards Eyethu Lifestyle Centre's aim to position itself as a premier jazz and live music venue.
The event also featured insightful Jazz discussions, collectors jamming and live performances from Thandi Ntuli ,The Brother Moves On , Iphupho L'ka Biko , Karabo Mohlala , Smanga Ngubane ,Philile and included DJ sets by Muntu Vilakazi ,Thuli G and Mr Mix Masala.
The "Jazz Talks" segment of the day featured a panel discussion moderated by writer and curator Phumzile Twala, with acclaimed saxophonist Khaya Mahlangu, renowned broadcaster Nothemba Madumo, drummer Tumi Mogorosi, writer and jazz cultural critic Ray Maseko as well as Tsala Jazz co-founder Mthuthu Ndlebe.
The successful event was part of the international jazz day taking place across the world.


"The law appears to be written by VIP's owner, Mitts suggested...." And there's the money quote - it doesn't matter who's in charge; every politician with half a brain is just given a document to enter into a law by some lobbyist at a fancy dinner, and later finds out that it's not what was discussed.
There's an interesting double meaning to the caption of the statue.
The Broad Los Angeles, is a museum named after builder & egomaniac Eli Broad, pronounced "brode", not like broad.
But for a statue, she's a good looking broad!
Like it or not, most large cities that attract conventions have strip clubs with alcohol as available entertainment. I don't think the 4 figure bill pay or a beating is really relevant - most guys are on an expense account and their biggest challenge will be how to slide those charges past the company bill payer. I would think almost as much business gets handed out over bikini waxed bodies as bikini waxed golf greens (see: Gary McCord/Masters).
Reminds me of my days (or rather nights) haunting the Rialto and the Follies Burlesque Theatres on South State Street. And much later envying the Nelson Algren character in one of his short stories who had a personal relationship with one of the performers. The attraction of Burlesque (certainly for my 16-year-old self) was undoubtedly the nearly naked women, but there was more than that. I have to admit that I first heard Begin the Beguine at a Burlesque show and saw slapstick in the raw as it were. Alcohol wasn't allowed of course, but I'm sure I wasn't the only one who gulped cheap whiskey beforehand. No nostalgia for those old days, I guarantee you. It was all a sad waste of money and time and pathetically risky as well.
You are quite the naughty one, John.

Rolex 24 Recap: Hours 13-18
Tom Bailey January 31, 2021 Leave a comment
As the sun began to rise from the horizon, drivers' tempers also may have risen. Penalties, mistakes, and aggressive battles for the lead highlighted the 13th-18th hours of the Rolex 24. Here are some of the highlights through those hours…
Mike Rockenfeller in the #48 Cadillac drove deep into the international horseshoe on the outside of leader #10 Filipe Albuquerque. Rockenfeller was unable to complete the pass when the two leaders split a GTD Lamborghini, but he kept the pressure on Albuquerque for the lead as the 2nd half of the 24 hour event began.
Alan Metni, driving the #42 Audi in the GTD class, spun around near the exit of the infield portion of the course and remained off the pace. The race remained green, but the Audi drove straight to the garage. On board replay showed that when entering the corner, the right front of the Audi made contact with the #11 LMP2 of Tristan Nunez, causing both to spin. Race stewards placed the blame on Metni for the incident.
Scott Dixon took over in the #01 Chip Ganassi Racing but sped on pit road well above the limit, likely hitting the gas way too early exiting pit road. A very rare mistake for the 6-time and defending IndyCar champion. The penalty cost the DPi Cadillac contenders severely, putting them in 5th place and over a minute behind the leading #10 Acura that Ricky Taylor had taken command of.
The #33 of Lance Willsey of the LMP3 class was stopped on track for a moment but kept going.
The seventh full-course yellow came out when the #52 of Mikkel Jensen in the LMP2 class spun into the tire barrier and stuck into the grass outside of pit exit, bunching up the field once more. Replay showed that at the point of the incident, the #38 LMP3 of Ayrton Ori was right beside the #52 and possibly played a role in the crash.
At the restart, Mike Rockenfeller (#48) and Felipe Nasr (#31) traded the lead but Rockenfeller won out after Nasr was blocked off into the grass by the lapped Mazda driven by Jonathan Bomarito. The #10 of Ricky Taylor lost the lead after the team opted to change their brake rotors during the caution.
The #6 LMP3 team received a 60-second penalty for working on the car while pit road was closed. #14 Lexus were given a similar penalty, but only a drive through, for working on the car in an unapproved area.
The #57 Mercedes-AMG in the GTD class had been holding off a hard-charging #21 Ferrari for a few hours and with multiple drivers. In the 15th hour, the gap has closed to the smallest it's been in green-flag conditions since halfway point. The Ferrari, piloted by Nicklas Nielsen, traded the lead with Indy Dontje traded the lead multiple times before Nielsen pulled away with it.
GTD wasn't the only class with a hotly contested lead battle. Mike Conway (#31), Scott Dixon (#01), and Ricky Taylor (#10) for some time were separated by under a second with Mike Rockenfeller (#48) not far behind. Scott Dixon had taken the lead away from Conway and not much later, Taylor passed the #31 for the 2nd position.
Once pit stops separated the lead battles, the race became relatively calm once more with the most intense battle being between the two Corvette's who have continued to trade the lead and leave the rest of the GTLM class in their dust for the entire race. With that said, the #25 BMW and #62 Ferrari have managed to not only stay on the lead lap, but within striking distance should either of the two Corvette's run into a problem. Much unlike LMP3 where the lead margin had been measured in laps, not seconds, for several hours at this point.
As the #10 Acura did not go through a driver change, Ricky Taylor cycled through the pit stops as the leader.
Unfortunately, a case of deja vu struck as Kevin Estre in the #79 Porsche spun around bringing out a caution. The first time happened at the start of the race, when Estre was hit from behind and lost his rear end which created a debris caution. This time, he spun through the Bus Stop and crashed through the grass signage which caused another debris caution, 15 hours after the first one.
On the restart, Renger van der Zande had the lead, but Kamui Kobayashi began his stint by moving from 4th to 2nd and challenging van der Zande for the lead. In GTLM. Kobayashi went to make a move on the inside in Turn 1 but made contact with the #01 of van der Zande and spun, falling to 5th.
In GTLM, a non-Corvette took the lead for the first time since early in the race. Connor De Phillippi took the lead in the #25 BMW. After pit stops cycled through, the #3 Corvette took back the lead from the BMW. Antonio Garcia didn't hold the lead for long in the #3 as his Corvette teammate Tommy Millner drove by a couple laps later.
Two GTD's crashed together heading into the Bus Stop. The #97 of Ben Keating, who had been running in both the LMP2 (in the #52) and GTD classes, and the #64 of Ted Giovanis, who received a penalty for responsibility. Both drivers kept going and did not bring out a caution.
The sun is up and the final third of the race begins. Jimmie Johnson returned to the track in the #48 after Kamui Kobayashi worked to make up ground from the spin earlier. Caution does halt the racing, which bunched up the field right in the middle of a pit stop cycle. The #52 LMP2 was the culprit once again, this time with Scott Huffaker behind the wheel. Huffaker spun the car in the infield portion of the course and stalled in the grass on the edge of the track.
Helio Castroneves (#10) led at the restart, ahead of Dane Cameron in the #60 Acura, a rare instance where Acura's are 1-2 in this Rolex 24. In GTD, Kenny Habul in the #75 SunEnergy 1 Mercedes-AMG leads the way over the #16 Porsche of Jan Heylen. Both GTD teams had issues earlier in the race with spins and/or off course excursions.
Eventually, the #57 Mercedes-AMG of Maro Engel returned to lead the GTD class, powering through the #75 and #16. Ten minutes later, another familiar leader returned to the front, the #01 Chip Ganassi Racing Cadillac with Renger van der Zande. The Ganassi DPi team had fallen behind the other main DPi competitors by having to pit during the caution, but van der Zande worked his way through to lead once more.
The GTD lead was challenged by the #21 Ferrari, as had happened frequently in the previous hours.
Maro Engel (#57) and Daniel Serra (#21) made contact racing for the lead. The right front of Engel's Mercedes hit the left rear of Serra's Ferrari entering Turn 1 and Engel got the position. The 21 of Serra continued to challenge for the lead by aiming for the outside of Turn 1 lap after lap, but could not find success.
After pit stops and some driver changes, Helio Castroneves went back to the lead in the #10 for Wayne Taylor Racing, a team looking for their 3rd straight Rolex 24 win, and 4th in the last 5 years. The #01 fell behind due to switching out drivers for Kevin Magnussen, making for a long enough pit stop to allow Castroneves to overtake them.
More driver changes but the #10 Acura kept the lead with Alexander Rossi behind the wheel. Jimmie Johnson got out of the car for what he told NBC Sports would be his final stint of the weekend. Simon Pagenaud took the reins in the 5th position.
Before the 18 hour mark finished up, the #21 of Daniel Serra passed Maro Engel for the GTD lead, for good measure.

These Are America's Most Patriotic Brands
A new survey reveals some expected winners and a few surprises.
Daniel B. Kline
(TMFDankline)
Jul 3, 2017 at 6:00AM
Patriotic means different things to different people. Image source: Getty Images.
Wrapping a brand in the American flag can give it a boost, but it can also come off as crass.
Consumers don't necessarily believe the message delivered to them in a commercial. They also have their own criteria for what makes a company American, according to Brand Keys CEO Robert Passikoff, whose company just completed its 15th annual survey of American brands.
"It is important to note that these brand rankings do not mean that other brands are not patriotic, or that they don't possess patriotic resonance or intention," says Passikoff in a press release. "Rational aspects, like being an American company, or 'Made in the USA,' or having nationally directed CSR [corporate social responsibility] activities and sponsorship, all play a part in the personality of any brand. But if you're a brand that wants to differentiate and engage via emotional values, if there is believability, good marketing just gets better."
This year's report surveyed 4,860 consumers, 16 to 65 years of age, balanced for political party affiliation. They were asked to "evaluate which of 280 brands included in the 2017 survey were most resonant as to 'patriotism.'" The list contains some familiar names, but two entries in the top 10 (really the top 11, because there was a tie at No. 6) are new to the top 50.
MSNBC and FOX News are rivals in the cable space. Image source: Getty Images.
10. MSNBC
The only new entrant in the top-10 Comcast's cable brand may also be the most controversial entrant on the list due to how politically polarizing some of its content is. It's worth noting that FOX News, arguably MSNBC's biggest rival, placed 15th on the list.
Samuel Adams makes a number of seasonal beers. Image source: Boston Beer Company.
9. Samuel Adams
Boston Beer Company has a patriotic background. The company named its signature beer line after Samuel Adams, a man who helped organize the Boston Tea Party and a signer of the Declaration of Independence.
While Adams' name graces the front of each bottle of Boston Beer's various brands, it's not his image on the label. "Fellow Patriot Paul Revere's portrait appears on the front of each bottle, allegedly due to Samuel Adams' notoriously bad looks," according to BeerInfo.com, which also noted that Boston Beer is the largest American-owned brewery.
Jack Daniel's has been brewed the same way for overy 150 years. Image source: Jack Daniel's.
8. Jack Daniels
It's hard to think of something more American than this whisky brewed in Lynchburg, Tennessee, for more than 150 years. Jack Daniel's, which took its name from creator Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniels, has been made using the same charcoal mellowing process it has employed since its founding. The original company, which is now owned by Brown-Forman, was the first registered distiller in the U.S.
Ralph Lauren has made the polo shirt an American staple. Image source: Getty Images.
7. Ralph Lauren
Ralph Lauren the brand, created by Ralph Lauren the man, has helped pioneer a look that's quintessentially American. The company may not have created "preppy," but it has driven the idea forward with its signature Polo line, which was inspired by the uniforms worn in the eponymous sport. This often-copied look in some ways embodies American dress to much of the world.
Twitter has changed how people communicate. Image source: Twitter.
6. Hershey, Twitter
The two brands that tied for sixth place represent two very different aspects of the American ideal. The Hershey Company, an iconic chocolate brand founded in 1894, offers an array of recognizable candies. Twitter, which has become a platform for political discourse alongside less serious discussion, represents the new age of American innovation as one of the world's leading social-media companies.
Ford's F-150 has been an American staple for decades. Image source: Ford.
Ford has wrapped its brand in the American flag. The company, which began in Detroit in 1903, essentially created not only the U.S. automobile industry, but also the assembly line. Now, Ford is still a Detroit-based company, and it's hard to think of many products more strongly associated with America than the Mustang and the F-series pickup truck, which has been the nation's best-selling vehicle for 35 straight years.
Coca-Cola is one of the most-recognized brands in the world. Image source: Coca-Cola.
Coca-Cola has (for better or for worse) distributed its signature, American-as-apple-pie beverage all around the world. The company, which remains based in Atlanta, traces its history to 1886, when it was first sold at soda fountains as a supposed medicine. Now, there are few places on Earth where you can't get a Coke, and the company has grown well beyond its iconic cola.
Disney will be celebrating the 4th of July At Disneyland (seen here) and its other U.S. parks. Image source: Walt Disney.
3. Walt Disney
Another global brand, Walt Disney has distinctly American roots. The company pioneered animated films and created the modern theme park business. Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland in California remain top travel destinations not just for U.S. families, but for people all around the world.
Blue jeans are a staple wardrobe element for many Americans. Image source: Getty Images.
If Americans had a "uniform," it would likely include a pair of blue jeans. Levi Strauss created the first pair of blue jeans in 1873.
The company was actually founded based on a process created by tailor Jacob Davis. The company explains on its website:
One day the wife of a local laborer asked Jacob to make a pair of pants for her husband that wouldn't fall apart. Jacob tried to think of a way to strengthen his trousers and came up with the idea to put metal rivets at points of strain, like pocket corners and the base of the button fly. These riveted pants were an instant hit. Jacob quickly decided to take out a patent on the process, but needed a business partner to help get the project rolling. He immediately thought of Levi Strauss, from whom he had purchased the cloth to make his riveted pants.
From that humble beginning came a pair of pants most Americans, and many people around the world, consider a wardrobe staple.
Jeep still makes the iconic vehicle that gave the company its name. Image source: Getty Images.
While Jeep may not seem like an obvious choice to top this list, the brand actually topped the first Brands Keys most patriotic survey in 2002. The company was founded in the U.S. in the 1940s by Mark Smith, and while its products are sold around the world, the company still remains very popular in its home country.
Now owned by FiatChrysler, Jeep still makes the kinds of rugged utility vehicles it originally made for the U.S. military during World War II. It has also expanded into more civilian-friendly formats like luxury SUVs and subcompact crossovers.

Looking like a small colonial-style palace, it stands out in Varadero given its special grace and the elegant shape of its walls. Marked by modernity and defined by aspects of other eras, from which it takes its quarried-stone exterior walls veneer and its semi-circled arches, this is a centrally located hotel just a few steps away from the seashore. Reassuring and easy to walk to and from, the Pullman exudes a friendly and quiet atmosphere with quality services and the guarantee of refined attention.
Its special position makes it an easy walk from your hotel to innumerable recreational facilities, nautical centers, optional agencies and extra-hotel amenities found in Varadero.

Q: How to re-add existing (missing) BTRFs device without removing it first I added a new HDD to my BTRFS pool (4th device), all was fine for 20 minutes, then Arch Linux reported it as a read-only file system.
I mistakenly rebooted and the system refused to boot (stopped at maintenance menu), so I commented out the BTRFs FSTAB entry and rebooted ok.
Now we see
sudo btrfs filesystem show Label: none  uuid: 8dac8c7b-e793-4b32-8085-05acb581c7ea
        Total devices 4 FS bytes used 21.28TiB
        devid    1 size 7.28TiB used 7.12TiB path /dev/sdd
        devid    2 size 7.28TiB used 7.11TiB path /dev/sdc
        devid    3 size 7.28TiB used 7.11TiB path /dev/sdb
        *** Some devices missing

Device 4 has meta data on, so I don't want to REMOVE it and re-add.  Is there a way to re-add without removing first?
Note, that this is the same drive, if I try to add it into the pool, it asks for a -f to force an overwrite of the drive.
Is it possible to do without an overwrite, so it reads the drive and realises it is part of the pool.

A: I had a similar situation, and what worked was to unmount and re-mount using the dev path of the missing-but-not-really disk:
mount /dev/sdb2 /media/source # (no good)
umount /media/source
mount /dev/sdc2 /media/source # (good)

Hope it helps. BTW btrfs device scan has always shown nothing for me.

A: I did this:
$ sudo btrfs filesystem show /mnt/btrfs/
Label: none  uuid: 162e1cf7-d4f7-4421-80e4-1b88123ace02
    Total devices 2 FS bytes used 588.05GiB
    devid    1 size 1.24TiB used 590.01GiB path /dev/sdc3
    *** Some devices missing

$ sudo btrfs replace start -B 2 /dev/sdd3 /mnt/btrfs

This kind of humor hits fast and hard with some people, for others it has to grow on them a bit. Regardless, for my "folding money" this is some of the funniest stuff in film. I've seen this film probably 10 times and it just gets funnier every time I see it. A mix of early Americana and the Odyssey by Homer makes for this hilarious film of crime, salvation, old country/folk music, and comedy.
I wasn't really a Clooney fan until I saw this film. He has a recurring line he says that always cracks me up, "We're in a tight spot." The fact of the matter is, they are quite often in a tight spot. The cat and mouse chases are most of what makes this film a laugh a minute.
John Goodman reminds them "it's all about the money" and beats them all with a stick. That's a funny scene but this film is about a lot more than just money, it has soul. I recommend this film for fans of the Cohen Brothers' films and those into bluegrass roots and music. Watch it with an open mind since it is not straight ahead comedy. If you can get what it's doing, you'll have a good old-time enjoying this country folk crime ride. This film ranks in my top 15 for sure.

Q: Recovering intermediate results from a Table after an interruption I am interested in knowing if it is possible to recover intermediate results from a Table after an interruption.
Let us say I want to produce a really useful table
tt = Table[Pause[0.1*i]; i, {i, 50}]

and since Mathematica takes too long to evaluate it, I get impatient.
Is it possible to interrupt the calculation and recover what it has already calculated? I am guessing the answer is no, but would like to be proven wrong.

A: You could use side effects instead, thus writing
tt = ConstantArray[{}, 50];
Table[Pause[0.1*i]; tt[[i]] = i, {i, 50}]

If you interrupt you will find tt partially filled, and you can then finish the rest of an aborted calculation, by letting i take on the values corresponding to the unfilled places:
Table[Pause[0.1*i]; tt[[i]] = i, {i, Flatten[Position[tt, {}]]}]

Note however that since it relies on side effects, it will for example not work if you Parallelize[] it.

A: I'm sure there must be more elegant solutions than this, but if each step takes significant time, then saving the intermediate results to disk ( or better still a RAM disk or solid state disk ) shouldn't be too much of an overhead.
The benefit here is this is partially resistant to some forms of system lockup or crash.
I've used Nest but no reason this couldn't be done with Table as well.
NestWhileList[
 With[{res = #[[2]][Last@#]}, #[[2]] >>
    "int_res_" <> ToString[Last@#]; {Append[First@#, res], #[[2]],
    Last@# - 1}] &, {{}, Sin, 10}, Positive@Last@# & ]

In this example Sin represents a placeholder which can be exchanged for your function of  choice.
Reflection suggests that extending this to allow restarting might be a wothwhile exercise.
Update
Kernel Crash Resilient Function Application
Here is a naive, but hopefully useful, stateful solution to applying a time expensive function to a set of parameters or integers that is robust to interrupts and kernel crashes and is similar in spirit to Map or Table.
The approach is to maintain an externally stored state vector of the progression through the computation. The state vector collects the list of results and holds the unevaluated parameters and applied function.
A history option can be used to store the state for each step, allowing computation to be restarted from anywhere in the sequence.
Support is provided for named execution threads.
Basic usage
AirBag[Block[{}, Pause[#]; Print@#; #] &, {1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 3, 2}]

1
3
Out[335]=$Aborted

AirBag[]

5
7
5
3
2
Out[336]={1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 3, 2}

Named execution threads
AirBag[Composition[#^2 &, Plus], {{2, 3}, {3, 3}, {1, 4}, {5, 7}, {6, 7}},
       History -> True, FileSpec -> "./air_bag_composite."]

{25, 36, 25, 144, 169}

Restart the named execution thread from an arbitrary step:
AirBag["./air_bag_composite.3"]

{25, 36, 25, 144, 169}

Clear@AirBag;
Options@AirBag = {FileSpec -> "./air_bag_int_res.", History -> False};

(* Process a state vector -> {results list, function, parameter list, \
iteration counter }   *)

AirBag[state_List, OptionsPattern[]] :=
 NestWhile[
  With[{res = #[[2]][Sequence @@ (First@#[[3]])]}, {Append[First@#,
       res], #[[2]], Rest@#[[3]], Last@#} >>
     OptionValue@FileSpec <>
      If[OptionValue@History, ToString[Last@#], "1"]; {Append[First@#,
       res], #[[2]], Rest@#[[3]], Last@# + 1}] &, state,
  Length@#[[3]] > 0 &]//First

(* Apply function to the integers 1 to iterations *)

AirBag[function_, iterations_Integer, opts : OptionsPattern[]] :=
 AirBag[function, Range@iterations, opts]

(* Apply function to a list of parameter values *)

AirBag[function_, parameters_List, opts : OptionsPattern[]] :=
 AirBag[{{}, function, parameters, 0}, opts]

(* Restart from a saved AirBag state *)

AirBag[fileName_String, opts : OptionsPattern[]] :=
 If[FileExistsQ@fileName,
  With[{state = Get@fileName}, AirBag[state, opts]]]

AirBag[OptionsPattern[]] := AirBag[OptionValue@FileSpec <> "1"]

A: Perhaps something like this may help you.
c = Dynamic@a
a = {};
tt = Table[AppendTo[a, {i, Pause[0.1*i]}]; i, {i, 8}]

Here, most code has to do with "automatic" abortion
kill = 0;
t = CreateScheduledTask[kill = 1];
StartScheduledTask[t];
c = Dynamic@a
a = {};
tt = Table[If[kill == 1, Abort[], AppendTo[a, {i, Pause[0.1*i]}]];  i, {i, 8}]
RemoveScheduledTask[t];

A: Since I was corrected and this is indeed not an exact duplicate of the parallel computations question, I will reproduce here my implementation of abortable table, to have it here on SE:
ClearAll[abortableTable];
SetAttributes[abortableTable, HoldAll];
abortableTable[expr_, iter : {_Symbol, __} ..] :=
  Module[{indices, indexedRes, sowTag, depth =  Length[Hold[iter]] - 1},
   Hold[iter] /. {sym_Symbol, __} :> sym /. Hold[syms__] :> (indices := {syms});
   indexedRes =  Replace[#, {x_} :> x] &@ Last@Reap[
      CheckAbort[Do[Sow[{expr, indices}, sowTag], iter], Null],sowTag];
   AbortProtect[
      SplitBy[indexedRes, Array[Function[x, #[[2, x]] &], {depth}]][[##,1]] & @@
      Table[All, {depth + 1}]
   ]];

the usage is
tt=abortableTable[Pause[0.1*i];i,{i,50}]

(*  {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} *)

(I aborted the computation after some time). Generally, abortableTable accepts the same iterator syntax as Table, and can work with multiple dimensions. The details on how this works can be found in the linked discussion.
EDIT
Per request, a simple abortable Map (which only maps on the first level):
abortableMap[f_, expr_] :=
 Module[{sowTag},
   Head[expr] @@ If[# === {}, #, First@#] &[
    Last[Reap[
       CheckAbort[Do[Sow[f[part], sowTag], {part, List @@ expr}],Null]]]]]

The usage is, for example:
abortableMap[(Pause[0.1*#];f[#])&,Range[10]]

(*  {f[1],f[2],f[3]}  *)

(again, I aborted manually soon after it started to compute).

Die Lange Straße in der Innenstadt Braunschweigs verbindet die östlich gelegene Küchenstraße mit dem im Westen liegenden Radeklint. Sie ist Teil des neuen Cityrings. Die ehemals durch Fachwerkhäuser geprägte Straße verlor durch die Zerstörungen während des Zweiten Weltkriegs und nachfolgende Umgestaltungen ihren ursprünglichen Charakter.

Geschichte

Die im Weichbild der Neustadt verlaufende Lange Straße wird 1320 als longa platea bezeichnet. Die enge und nahezu schnurgerade Straße war mit einer Länge von ungefähr 330 m die längste Straße der Neustadt. In der Langen Straße wohnten über viele Jahrhunderte ärmere Bevölkerungsschichten, was in einem alten Braunschweiger Kinderreim – hier in einer von mehreren ähnlichen Versionen – seinen Ausdruck fand:

"Lange Straße, Klint und Werder,
davor hüte sich ein Jeder.
Nickelnkulk ist auch nicht besser,
denn da wohnen Menschenfresser."

In den frühen 1930er Jahren wurde die Lange Straße, vom späteren NSDAP-Gauleiter Hartmann Lauterbacher als "roteste Straße Braunschweigs" bezeichnet, als Aufmarschgebiet nationalsozialistischer Krawalltruppen genutzt, um die kommunistisch geprägte Arbeiterschaft zu provozieren.

In den Jahren 1937 und 1938 wurden die Häuser Lange Straße 36 – 40 abgerissen, um auf dem Gelände einen Kinderspielplatz einzurichten. Dieser wurde 1939 gemeinsam mit der Bronzefigur des "Besenmännchens" eingeweiht. Dieses symbolisiert den in diesem Jahr beendeten ersten Abschnitt der Altstadtsanierung.

Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurden die Fachwerkbauten der Langen Straße zerstört. Diese wurde in der Nachkriegszeit zu einer deutlich verbreiterten Verkehrsschneise im Sinne der "autogerechten Stadt" umfunktioniert. Am 14. November 1987 eröffnete die die Lange Straße teilende Straßenbahn-Neubaustrecke vom Hagenmarkt zum Radeklint.

Am 18. Juni 2005 sollte während einer NPD-Kundgebung in der Braunschweiger Innenstadt der Zug der NPD-Anhänger durch eine Sitzblockade von Gegendemonstranten auf der Langen Straße aufgehalten werden. Infolge von Stein- und Flaschenwürfen durch Unbekannte wurden von der Polizei Wasserwerfer eingesetzt. In nachfolgenden Gerichtsverfahren wurde entschieden, dass der Wasserwerfereinsatz ebenso wie die Einkesselung unbeteiligter Passanten auf dem Hagenmarkt rechtswidrig war.

Bebauung

Historische Bauten
Am westlichen Ende befand sich in der Nähe des St.-Petri-Kirchhofs Braunschweigs ältestes Beginenhaus, welches im Jahre 1290 von dem Schmied Johann von Monstede gestiftet wurde. Hier lebten ursprünglich bis zu zwölf alleinstehende Frauen in ordensähnlicher Lebensgemeinschaft, die in einer kleinen benachbarten Kapelle ihre täglichen Gebete verrichteten. Die ursprünglich zur Pfarre von St. Andreas gehörende Einrichtung gelangte nach langem Streit im Jahre 1330 zum Pfarrbezirk von St. Petri. Die Zahl der Bewohnerinnen lag im 16. Jahrhundert zwischen 13 und 15 Frauen und betrug in den Jahren 1711 bis 1734 zwischen 16 und 21 Personen. Nach den Zerstörungen während des Zweiten Weltkriegs wurde das Beginenhaus 1954 aufgelöst.

Am östlichen Ende der Langen Straße, an der Ecke zur Alten Waage stand das 1435 errichtete Fachwerkhaus Ghellerburg. Es wurde während des Zweiten Weltkriegs zerstört.

Zu den bekanntesten Fachwerkbauten Braunschweigs zählte das im Jahre 1536 errichtete sogenannte Nagelsche Haus Lange Straße Nr. 9, von Karl Steinacker als das älteste und reichste Haus der Fächerornamentgruppe beschrieben. Das Haus wurde im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstört.

Am Fachwerkhaus Lange Straße Nr. 5 befand sich die Inschrift: alle dinc vorgeit goddes wort hilft in ewigkeit.

Zwischen der Langen Straße und der Straße Hintern Brüdern befand sich von 1928 bis zum Umzug in das Braunschweiger Schloss im Jahre 2007 die Öffentliche Bücherei. Das Gebäude wurde im Jahre 2010 von der Stadt an einen Investor verkauft und wurde abgerissen.

Heutige Bebauung
Am 23. Mai 1971 wurde der Erweiterungsbau der Fa. C. W. Böttger, Grüner Löwe, eröffnet. In den Jahren von 1983 bis 1985 entstand zwischen den Straßen Hintern Brüdern und Lange Straße der Neubaukomplex "Grüner Löwe" durch die Baumarktkette Obi. Der Heimwerkermarkt wurde am 27. Februar 1985 eröffnet.

Ende der 1990er Jahre wurde der Bau eines Großkinos an der Langen Straße Nr. 60 geplant. Am 8. Juli 1997 entschied sich der Rat der Stadt Braunschweig für den Entwurf der Omniplex-Filmtheaterbetriebe. Die Großbaustelle wurde seit November 1997 von Stadtarchäologen für Grabungen genutzt, die bis zum "Tag der offenen Grabung" am 17. Mai 1998 etwa 2000 Funde ergaben. Das Cinemaxx Braunschweig wurde als erstes Multiplex-Kino der Region im Jahr 2000 eröffnet. Ab dem 1. Juli 2010 firmiert das Kino unter dem neuen Betreiber Hans-Joachim Flebbe als "C1 Cinema".

Cybersecurity Law: Legal experts say New York-registered service contract providers must take immediate action to comply with the state's new Cybersecurity Regulation before the looming deadline at the end of next month, and before the state's regulators levy heavy fines and penalties to send a message to the industry.
Apple's Warranty Data: Warranty expenses began a swift climb at the end of 2009. But so did product sales, as the Mac and iPod gave way to the iPhone and iPad. And so, the share of total revenue spent on warranty didn't soar.
Vehicle Service Contract Administrators: As we conclude our VSC industry tour, we take a look at the financial strength ratings of the underwriters, the end user revenue of the administrators, and the myriad of links they have with each other, with auto dealers, and with the vehicle manufacturers.
Warranty Accruals per Vehicle: Multiple readers said something wasn't quite right with the warranty data in last week's newsletter. So this week we're diving into the deep end, probing to see if it's possible for both accruals and prices to fall as fast as the math says they are.
Expiring Warranty Companies: With Eagle Warranty closing its doors and US Fidelis halting its sales, the era of fast talk and easy money in vehicle service contract sales may be coming to an end. But they and others have left a giant mess that various attorneys general are only beginning to clean up.
New Home Warranties: One CEO recently said the worst of this cycle may be behind us. In terms of sales decreases and price declines, maybe so. But in terms of warranty costs, the worst is right now, as builders have less cash to pay for warranty work on units they sold at the end of the boom years. And then there's the question of how costly the defective Chinese drywall will turn out to be to replace.
Lifetime Warranties: Companies are free to define a lifetime any way they wish, but they have to be clear about their rules and their exclusions. Some issue the warranty to just the first owner of the product. Others qualify it with words such as reasonable or useful. And some high-tech companies spell out a policy under which the warranty's lifetime will end after sales cease and spare parts run out.
Warranty Conference: Economic turmoil is likely to take its toll on WCM 2009 attendance, but those who can make it to Orlando next week will see a series of how-to presentations by some of the biggest warranty providers in the world. Legal and regulatory issues are also on the agenda, and yes, there will be a quiz at the end.


Injuries to the neck caused by the sudden movement of the head backward, forward, or sideways is commonly referred to as 'whiplash."
Often times, the car receives minimal damage, while the occupants suffer severe spinal injuries.
Whiplash is most commonly received from riding in a car that is struck from behind or that collides with another object. When the head is suddenly jerked back and forth violently beyond its normal limits. The muscles and ligaments supporting the head and spine become stretched and torn. The soft pulpy discs between spinal bones can bulge, tear and/or rupture. Vertabrae are often forced out of their mormal position causing severe pain. Whiplash can also occur during sporting activities and slip/falls. These can all have a damaging effect on your neck and back.
The resulting instability of the spine and soft tissues can contribute to headaches, dizziness, blurred vision, pain and weakness in the shouders, arms and hands, reduced abiity to turn and bend and low back problems.
Chiropractic adjustments remove pressure on nerves that cause pain! Adjustments help to restore proper spinal motion, position and function.

All rows: *K3, P1, repeat from* across, end K1.
Cast on 69 stitches and work in pattern until piece measures 9 inches from beginning.
Tip: This pattern may be knit in the round to avoid a seam. If knitting the pattern in the round, cast on 68 stitches and divide evenly between three needles. If knitting in the round, Rows 2 & 4 or the top shaping would be knit (rather than purl).
Row 1: (Right side row) K2 tog across, ending K1.
Rows 2 & 4: P each stitch.
Row 5: K2 tog across.
Leave a length of yarn long enough to sew seam. Using a yarn needle, draw yarn through remaining stitches on the needle and pull up tight. Fasten well. Sew back seam. Turn 2" up at bottom edge for cuff. A pompom can be added to the top if you wish.


My two oldest children have reached the age where they consistently bring home a bag full of school work. Most evenings, they have homework in two or three different subjects.
My oldest child is pretty efficient with his homework. His view is that if he just gets it done, then he can go do something fun without any worries. Mom and Dad aren't going to bug him about homework tonight and his teachers won't bug him about it tomorrow. All of that goes away if he just gets down to business.
In contrast, my middle child is a bit more resistant to homework. She doesn't think it's fair that she's still doing homework when her older brother is already done and her younger brother doesn't even have any.
Last night, we had a bit of a heart to heart talk about homework and what's "fair." We spent a lot of time looking at the homework situation from the lens of what she can't control and what she can control.
So, what can't she control? She can't control how much homework she receives from her teacher. She can't control how much homework her brothers receive, either. She can't control how efficient they are at getting their homework done.
What can she control? She can control how efficiently she gets her own homework done. She can control how hard she focuses on the work itself and not only how fast she gets it done, but how well she gets it done. She can control whether she actually learns as much as she can from the homework or whether she just tries to get it done and out of the way. She can also control whether she gets mad and upset about her homework or her siblings' lack of homework.
If she chooses to do her homework efficiently, she'll be done with it faster and have time for other things. If she chooses to do her homework thoroughly and with a high level of quality with an intent to learn from it, she's going to find that her classroom time is much easier and that she understands not only the topic but the world better. Furthermore, if she chooses to not be upset about her siblings' homework load or lack thereof and instead chooses to just focus on what she has on her plate, it will get done a lot faster.
Those are the things she can control. It's almost completely useless for her to spend her energy worrying about the things she can't control.
Surprisingly, she seemed to really take this to heart. She sat down and did her homework, paying almost no attention to her brothers (who weren't trying to disrupt her, I might add; they were just downstairs playing a game and she could occasionally hear them). She stayed mostly focused on her homework and asked me a few thoughtful questions along the way – the kinds of questions where you can tell that she's thinking about it rather than just wanting the answer to be given to her.
Roll with what you can control.
One of the biggest challenges of personal finance is how much of it seems like it's completely out of our control. We can't control the personnel decisions of our boss. We can't control whether cancer will strike us or our family members. We can't control the weather. We can't control the ups and downs of the stock market. We can't control whether or not our car starts in the morning.
Those things happen, they have a pretty big financial impact (as well as a huge impact on other spheres of life), and we simply have to deal with it and roll with the punches.
At the same time, there are many things in our life that are controllable, but it is sometimes difficult to do so. We want some particular item. We desire someone. We dream of a particular career. Those things are at least somewhat within our control, but getting there from here is prohibitively difficult, or else the reverse is true and controlling and tamping down that desire is really hard.
Between things that are wholly outside of our control, things that are within our control but are challenging, and our own impulses that nudge us in the wrong direction, it's often easy to fall into a state where we're just swept along by the moment, living paycheck to paycheck, working for the weekend and existing for today. We get upset at how unfair life is, angry with what others achieve that we haven't been able to achieve, and cynical about how the deck is stacked against us.
I think every single one of us falls into that line of thinking at some point or another. It's particularly easy to do this on one's financial journey, when so many events outside of our control can alter our destiny and, at the same time, our base instincts and desires can often knock us off the path, too. It can make it all feel hopeless, like someone walking along a rain-slicked ledge on a dark and stormy and windy night, when even the slightest misstep or even an unpredictable wind shift can knock us right back down to where we started.
Here's the thing, though: if you fall into that trap of believing it's all outside of your control, you will never achieve lasting financial success. Rather, financial success comes from recognizing what elements of life you can control and putting your efforts toward those, while also recognizing what you can't control and minimizing your efforts in those areas. The same thing is true for success in many areas of life.
Spend your energy, emotions, time, and thoughts on things that you can control and influence. Don't spend your energy, emotions, time, and thoughts on things you can't control or influence.
This really breaks down into three pieces.
Take a good, long look at the things in your life that you devote your time, energy, emotions, and thoughts to. Which of those things can you actually control in any meaningful way?
You can't control the actions of others. You can influence those actions sometimes, but in the end, you can't control what other people do. You can't control what your boss does, but you can influence your boss to think highly of you. You can't control what your child does, but you can influence your child to make better decisions.
You can control how you respond to the actions of others. You may not be able to control the emotion of your response, but you can certainly control how you act on that emotion. You control how you use your time and energy in response to the actions of others, and even in advance of the actions of others.
You can't control natural forces. You can't control the weather. You can't control cancer. You can't control a sudden illness. Those things are completely beyond your ability to control.
You can control how you prepare for the possibility of natural forces. You can control whether or not you're living a healthy lifestyle, which maximizes your ability to fight disease and your ability to be supportive to others in your life. You can control whether or not you winterize your property before winter arrives. You can control whether or not you have an emergency fund. Assuming you have one available to you, you can control whether or not you fund a health savings account.
You can't control big expenses, especially unexpected ones. Some expenses are a fact of life. Food, clothing, shelter, medical costs, and other living expenses have to come from somewhere. Sometimes unexpected expenses are going to seemingly fall from the sky. Multiply all of those things if you have dependents (again, that's somewhat under your control, but sometimes that choice is already made before you realize the full consequences of it).
You can control how you prepare for those unexpected expenses. You control how carefully or how frivolously you spend the money you do have. You control whether you put aside money for the future. You control how seriously you take your job and how intensely you work to move up the ladder or to start your own business (though, of course, you can't control what your customers think or do and you can't control what your boss thinks or does – all you can do is influence them somewhat).
You can control your thoughts. You can control your actions. You can use those actions to somewhat influence the actions of others. That's about it. Everything else consists of things you can't control.
You can't control the weather, so don't get upset when the weather doesn't turn out as you would like. Instead, simply accept the weather for what it is and then look for what you can most effectively do under those weather conditions.
You can't make your toddler not have an emotional meltdown at the store. Instead, accept that your child does not have emotional control yet and then look for ways to teach your child that kind of emotional control.
You can't make your boss be the ideal wonderful boss you would like him or her to be. Instead, accept your boss for who he or she is and spend your energy figuring out how to build a good relationship with who your boss actually is.
You can't make your car start every time you want it to. Instead, accept that your car isn't starting and ask yourself calmly what you can do next to get to where you need to go, then later move into figuring out how to avoid such deep reliance on an unreliable car.
In general, actions based on emotion in response to something you can't control are awful choices. Getting mad at your car is completely useless. Getting mad at your children when they don't have the cognitive development to really process what they've done wrong is worse than useless. Bursting into tears because your boss is treacherous might make you feel good for a moment or two, but doesn't do anything to actually help the problem. Getting upset because of a past event is useless because there's literally nothing you can to do change it.
When you feel an emotional response to something out of your control coming on, check that response and cool down that emotion. When you feel angry or upset and are about to do something on the wave of that anger, like yell at someone or throw something, stop. Breathe. Count to ten. Walk away from the situation for a bit and just say, "I need a minute here." Emotional action is not going to do you any good. At best, it's going to be a misuse of your energy, time, and focus, poured down an avenue that's not going to help you improve things. At worst, it's going to make the situation worse.
When you know you can't control or change something, let it go. Rather than having emotional responses to that event, just let it go. Focus on what you can control. Focus on what you can change.
It's worth noting here that I'm not saying to ignore your emotions. I'm simply saying don't take action based on those emotions while they're strong. Let the passion fade a little, then consider your possible actions. Acting when you're angry or upset or excited is likely to result in you doing something that you'll regret later on.
Remember, the things you can control are your own actions, your own thoughts, and your own emotional responses to situations. You control your body. You control your mind.
Throughout any given day, you are given countless choices about what you might do with your time, your money, your energy, and your focus. You decide how you will spend that money. You decide how you will spend that time. You decide how you will spend that energy. You decide how you will spend that focus.
If you make a lot of bad choices, choices that are not in alignment with your big long-term goals, you're going to get bad results.
If you want to save for the future but then proceed to spend lots of money on clothes and entertainment and hobbies and meals at restaurants, you're not going to save much for the future. The choices to spend money on clothes and entertainment and hobbies and restaurants are choices you made of your own free will. Yes, there may be other factors in your financial state, but a healthy part of that state are the choices you made, and you can make better ones.
If you want to lose weight but you eat enormous meals or snack all the time or drink calorie-rich beverages, you're not going to lose weight very quickly if at all. Again, it comes down to choices.
Yes, some choices might be hard – very hard. If they were easy, then everyone would make those choices.
What about the things that are somewhat under your control, like the behavior of your children, your boss, your employees, or your customers? It is well worth your time to learn about how you can best use what you can control to be a positive influence. You can't fully control your kids, your boss, your employees, your customers, or anyone else in your life, but you can influence them in a positive way.
There are, of course, very different ways to influence the people around you depending on your relative situation. The key thing you can do is recognize what you can influence and what you can't and what things you can do to maximize your positive influence.
For example, I can't control my children's inner lives, but I can offer them a good role model and good discussions about how to make good decisions and a good set of guiding principles and rules to follow. Those things are things I can do, things that are likely to help them become a fully formed independent adult. There are other things I can do that are likely to have a different kind of influence on them.
Spend your time, money, focus, and energy on the things you can control: your actions, your thoughts, and your decisions. Try to minimize or eliminate your responses to things you can't control.
This split between things you can control – basically, the thoughts of your mind and the actions of your body – and the things you can't control – basically everything else – is an absolutely important split to understand when it comes to your own personal success. To put it simply, when you waste time and energy and focus on things you can't control, you're taking away time and energy and focus from things you can control.
So, what can you control that's related to personal finance?
You can control how you spend money on almost everything beyond the bare essentials for life.
You can control whether and how you save for future goals.
You can control how you think about your spending choices, whether you choose to think of things you might buy or desire in a strongly positive or negative way, and whether you think of saving for the future in a positive or negative way.
You can control how you spend your time and whether it's spent doing things that can influence your spending decisions, like social media or cable television versus a walk in the woods or a thoughtful book.
You can control how you use your time, whether it's in service of instant gratification and pleasure in the moment or building a good long term future for yourself.
You control those things. No one else. It's up to you to let go of the many other things you don't control and bring your thoughts and energy and time and focus and, yes, money to bear on the things that you do control.


I am a textile and mixed media artist who has a background in painting. An extended textile art course from 2014 to 2016 gave me the foundation to develop my practice in this area. However, over the years I have explored lots of creative arts such as ceramics, art journaling and the more traditional fields of embroidery which have given me different skills to employ in my work.
I am deeply interested in synthesis – the bringing together of materials and ideas to create something new. This is what drives me and is the reason for developing my art-making. There are so many possibilities. I have always loved paper from being a small child and continue to use a lot in my work, combining it with fabrics, threads and other things.
My inspiration often comes from nature. I live in West Yorkshire looking over to the Pennines, and the landscape is both interesting and ever-changing. However, I am drawn to the smaller things around me. A camera is a constant companion with which to record and remember that which doesn't find its way back to my studio!
I have displayed work as part of two textile groups over several years, and have been a demonstrator for the 'Stitching, Sewing and Hobbycrafts' ICHF show in Manchester 2017 and National Exhibition Centre, Birmingham, 2018.
I am the founder member of 'Hillstone Fibre Arts' who had their first exhibition at Harrogate in May 2017.
I have had a couple of articles published in 'threads.In-fusion' e-mag and been interviewed for a creative magazine blog. I have recently self-published a small book about how to think through the different stages of creativity using examples from my own work.
I do hope you enjoy the blog – I have been writing for three years now and it has grown significantly over that time. I do try to keep a somewhat humorous perspective on life as I think we all need a bit of that, but it is also about sharing my love of making with you.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and processes. Beautiful work.
I'd be very interested in reading your book and/or attending any workshops you might be putting on.
Hi Sarah, I emailed you – hope you got it ok. Let me know if not.


Highlights: Take a tour of London (St. Paul's Cathedral, Thames River Cruise, Tower of London) in the afternoon.
Guests will be picked up from their hotels in London to begin this tour. Today, we will visit St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London, where we will be able to see the Crown Jewels. We will then go on a Thames River cruise to see the city from the water. Afterwards, the tour will end when we disembark the cruise. Please see "Departure and Return" for more detailed information regarding pickup and drop-off times and locations.
Sitting atop the highest point in London, this cathedral is woven deeply into the national identity of England. Figures such as Winston Churchill and Margaret Thatcher are buried here, and Princess Diana's wedding took place here, among many other occasions.
Dating back nearly a millennia, this historic castle on the shores of the Thames in London has served many important functions throughout history. Today, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a museum that is open to the public.
Tour ends at Victoria Train Station. Please transfer back to hotel by yourselves.
St.Paul's Cathedral is closed for sightseeing on Sundays. We will stop for photos and see the exterior of the Cathedral and then have extended time in the Tower of London.


Craig came right on time and repaired two appliances within 45 minutes. Awesome job. Thank you, Thompson's Appliance Service!
They were here when they said they would be, fixed my broken refrigerator, and we couldn't be happier. Definitely recommend this company to anyone that needs an appliance fixed.
I called Thompson's Appliance for service on our front-loading dryer which was screeching loudly every time I ran it. Craig Thompson came out the very next day, diagnosed it in a few minutes, and told me what it would cost to repair it. He took care of the repair and took the time to show me the worn out part, how it works, and why it was making the noise. I appreciated his efficiency, expertise, honesty, knowledge, and fair price. I highly recommend Thompson Appliance Repair; they have been in Arlington for many years and know what they're doing!!

13 London Wheelchair Accessible Travel Tips
London Wheelchair Accessible Travel – London has enormous amount of things for disabled visitors to see and do. With a few tips and tricks, London becomes a very manageable city to visit with a disability. These 13 London Wheelchair Accessible Travel Tips will get you started in making the most of your time visiting London.
1. See a different Changing of the Guard – Disabled tourists will challenged by sidewalks packed full of other tourists. To get even a decent look at the Changing of the Guard, you'll have to fight some very large crowds. Wheelchair users in particular may have obstructed views of the Changing of the Guard. Another option for disabled tourists to see all the pageantry is to watch the Inspection of the Guard beforehand at the nearby Wellington Barracks where you will have no problem getting right up next to the fence. (shown in the image on the right).
2. Use the wheelchair accessible London buses – The buses are far more accessible than the Tube and provide an easy and cheap way to get around the city. Almost all buses have wheelchair ramps and spaces reserves for wheelchairs (pictures of both are shown below). Occasionally a bus may have a broken wheelchair ramp and you'll need to wait for the next one. The #15 bus runs east-west and is useful to get between Trafalgar Square, Covent Garden, and St. Paul's Cathedral. The #11 bus connects the three locations mentioned above plus Westminster Abbey. The British Museum and British Library can be reached from Covent Garden by using the #168 bus which runs north-south.
Buses are also useful when arriving at the airports. London accessible trains from Heathrow go to Paddington Station where you can take the #15 bus into the city centre. Accessible train transportation goes from Gatwick to Victoria Station where the #11 bus will take you to Trafalgar Square
3. Consider staying on the south side of the Thames to save money – Although it's not very far away, the London accessible hotels on the south side of the River Thames can be noticeably cheaper than the hotels in Westminster and Mayfair. Some of the neighborhood are not very nice or do not have good accessible public transportation options, so choose your hotel carefully.
4. Take the boat tour at sunset and go all the way to Greenwich – The best photo opportunities for your wheelchair accessible boat travel in London are likely to occur at sunset (Thames river at sunset shown on the right). While the most popular route is between Westminster Bridge and the Tower Bridge, the ride is a relaxing way to see the city – consider taking the route that goes all the way to Greenwich and back.
5. Visit TKTS for cheap tickets – The TKTS booth in Leicester Square offers discount tickets on the day of the show. You'll need to confirm with the individual theatre that the tickets are handicapped accessible. The easiest way to get accessible seats is to buy them from the theatre directly.
6. Use the Millennium Bridge – The Millennium Bridge is a walking bridge that connects St. Paul's Cathedral on the north side of the Thames River with the Tate Modern Museum on the south side of the river. It has elevators at both ends of the bridge and is an easy way for London wheelchair travelers to cross the river (photos of the Millennium Bridge shown below).
7. Purchase an Oyster Card – The Oyster Card is a credit card size electronic card that is definitely the easiest way to pay for public transportation in London. You can buy one in a train or metro station from the Oyster Card dispensing machine (shown on the right).
8. Accessible side entrance to St. Paul's Cathedral – The main entrance to St. Paul's Cathedral has numerous steps to ascend (shown in the image below on the left). A side entrance on the south side of the building (shown below on the right) has a wheelchair lift to get up to the main floor.
9. Accessible rear entrance at British Museum – The British Museum has a wheelchair lift at the main entrance on the south side of the building on Great Russell Street (wheelchair lift shown in the pics below). The north side of the building has flat access to the building. Disabled travelers to London can use either entrance to get into the museum, but should opt for the back entrance if the wheelchair lift is broken.
10. Pick up your Parliament tickets across the street – If you are visiting London when Parliament is open to the public and you have purchased your Parliament tickets in advance, you'll need to pick them up before your visit. The ticket window (shown below on the left) is actually located across the street from Parliament, on the west side of St. Margaret Street. On the back side of the building is a ramp (shown below on the right) to get around the stairs in the front of the building.
11. Pick up an audioguide at the National Gallery – Art museums are nearly always better with an expert to explain the significance of the paintings you are viewing. The audioguide is cheap and essential to make the most of your National Gallery visit.
12. Spread the museums out through your trip – London has more top-notch museums than any other city in Europe. Visiting them can be incredibly enjoyable but also sometimes exhausting. In order to get as much out of your museum visits as possible, spread them out throughout your trip. You'll likely have more energy in the morning than after a full-day of sightseeing.
13. Take the London Eye and a bus tour to get an orientation of the city
– A wheelchair accessible bus tour is a great way to see all of the tourist areas of London in a short period of time. It will also help you during the rest of your trip because you will have a better sense of the layout of the city. The wheelchair accessible London Eye also gives you a good opportunity to view the layout of the city from above (ramp shown in the photo on the right).

Exercise and Mood
What do we know about exercise and how it affects our mood?
There is plenty of research to suggest that we feel better after we exercise! Science provides the answer to "Why?"
Generally speaking, research about exercise and how it affects our mood — both positively or negatively — has usually concentrated on the negative components of mental health, such as depression, anxiety, and other stress-related disorders. However, some researchers — including McAuley in 1994, and McAuley and Rudolph in 1995 — "argued the importance of examining the relationship between physical activity and more positive elements of psychological functioning, including self-esteem, self-efficacy, and general well-being."
Thirty-eight different studies were chosen to examine "the relation[ship] between regular physical activity and general psychological well-being in older adult populations." The results reveal that the vast majority of studies report a positive association between physical activity and well-being (McAuley & Rudolph, 1995). While this relationship appears to be independent of the mode of exercise employed (Mihalko & McAuley, 1996), the strength of the association is greater for programs lasting 10 weeks or longer."2
Depression is more common with age (LaRue, Dessonville, & Jarvik, 1985). However, some studies suggest that this connection may worsen when physical activity decreases. Several studies show that "participation in regular exercises reduces depression in patients with mild-to-moderate levels of clinical depression" (Greist et al, 1979; Martinsen, Medhus, & Sandvik, 1985).
"There is mounting evidence that exercise plays an important role in helping individuals of all ages in managing anxiety and depression (Buckworth & Dishman, 2002)."3
In a Harvard Medical School study by Singh, Clements, and Fiatarone in 1997, researchers wondered if older adults who suffer from depression might benefit from strength training. The 32 persons chosen for the study (ranging in age from 60 to 84) met the researchers' diagnostic criteria for mild-to-moderate depression. One group had a regular strength training program; the other group attended a series of lectures and discussions. After 10 weeks, 82% of the strength exercisers no longer met the depression criteria, compared with 40% of those who attended class lectures and discussions.
The various studies, when considered together, suggests that either aerobics or strength training can help one's mood — so doing both could help twice as much...maybe?
A subsequent study by the same researchers in 2001 demonstrated that "a 20-week (10 supervised, 10 unsupervised) resistance traing program significantly reduced depression levels after 20 weeks of training and a 26-month follow-up."
Westcott (1995), using a questionnaire given to 49 middle-aged and older adults, established an 8-week strength-and-endurance program. Although statistical analyses were not performed, a tabulation of ratings suggested that the exercise program had a positive effect on the participants' self-confidence.
"Although more research is [seemingly always] needed in these areas, it appears that strength training has the potential to help counteract depression and enhance self-confidence in older adults." 4
What is happening during exercise that improves our mood?
During and after exercise, many people notice a euphoric feeling that makes them feel empowered. Endorphins5 and enkaphalins6, when released during exercise, are believed to cause euphoria — sometimes referred to as the "runner's high" — and they can also act as an analgesic to pain.
You might be interested to know that endorphins are also released when you smile. How much, how many, and how often endorphins are released depends a great deal on your body and its activities. But they probably won't be released if you walk a block. You have to exercise for at least 15 minutes before those endorphins are released.
In addition to improving your mood, exercise may help in other ways as well 7:
improve one's self-concept;
enhance body image;
increase productivity levels;
assist in fulfilling goals; and,
be a great reliever of stress.
