From vibrant cities teeming with culture to awe-inspiring landscapes cloaked in near-silence, North America is awash with exciting stories waiting to be discovered.
Whether you're seeking some inspiration for your next group holiday in the USA or simply want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of your chosen destination, losing yourself for a few hours in the pages of classic, modern and contemporary books is the perfect place to start.
The Bostonians, Henry James
Destination: East USA & New England
As the title of this book suggests, The Bostonians is set in Boston. One of Henry James's lesser-known novels, it tells the story of two cousins - Olive Chancellor, a Bostonian, and Basil Ransom, a New York lawyer. Taking her cousin to a political meeting, Olive becomes fascinated by feminist speaker Verena - as does Basil. The story follows Verena's life as she moves in with Olive and embarks on a romance with Basil, with a political Boston as a vivid backdrop.
Walking The Canadian Maritimes
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Hunter S. Thompson
Destination: Southwest USA
Now a cult classic film, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas began as a surreal book that takes the reader on the strangest journey through the Nevada desert and Sin City that they are ever likely to take. Following the protagonists Raoul Duke and Dr Gonzo as they chase the American Dream, this vivid read provides one of the most memorable - and bizarre - looks at Vegas.
To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee
Destination: Deep South
Having won a Pulitzer Prize and the hearts of millions of avid readers, To Kill A Mockingbird is an absolute must-read if you're travelling to the Deep South. Portraying the lives of young siblings Scout and Jem Finch, the novel follows their loss of innocence as they begin to understand the true nature of the intolerant south during their father's defence of a black man charged with raping a white girl.
America Unchained, Dave Gorman
Destination: Cross-Country
Best-known for his comedy, Dave Gorman has also authored several books - each with its own humorous slant. While having plenty of witty moments, America Unchained is slightly different, as Gorman attempts to drive across the USA fuelling his car only at independent gas stations. His whole adventure focuses on uncovering the USA behind the chain stores and big-name brands, having all kinds of weird and wonderful encounters along the way.
The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton
Destination: New York
Set in late 19th-century New York, The Age of Innocence is a powerful portrait of contemporary upper-class society. It tells the tale of Newland Archer, his new bride Mary Welland, and her controversial cousin the Countess Olenska, exploring this narrow and declining society along the way. Rich and emotional, it is a brilliant book for those who want to get a taste of the city's past.
Stephen Fry in America, Stephen Fry
Destination: Cross-Country
A great read for anyone planning to travel across America, Stephen Fry in America is Fry's written account of his journey across the USA in a black taxi cab. Accompanying a six-part TV series of the same name, this book details his epic adventure across 50 states, all with his characteristic wit and intelligence.
Icefields, Thomas Wharton
Destination: Canada
Winner of the Banff Grand Prize for Literature and a host of other awards, Icefields is the perfect read if you'll be venturing into the Canadian Rockies. Set in the icefields of the Rockies, it follows the story of a man who slipped while glacier walking and tumbled into a crevasse - and what follows is a fascinating journey into the nature of the human spirit.
Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer
Destination: Alaska
The bestselling book that spawned the 2007 critically acclaimed movie of the same name sees Krakauer follow in the footsteps of Christopher McCandless, whose body was found in an abandoned bus in Alaska in 1992. Krakauer's account explores not only the fascinating wilderness of Alaska, but how people integrate into the state in a journey of self-discovery.
Alaska, Wildlife and Wilderness
The Great Gatsby, F. Scott Fitzgerald
Destination: New York
Written in the early 20th century, The Great Gatsby is deservedly considered one of the finest American novels ever written. It provides a piercing look through the glitz and glamour of wealthy life in New York into the hollowness of the American Dream in a story that still resonates today. A true classic, it is a wonderful read not only if you plan to visit New York, but anywhere in the USA.

What's New In Python 3.7¶
|September 26, 2017
This article explains the new features in Python 3.7, compared to 3.6.
For full details, see the changelog.
Prerelease users should be aware that this document is currently in draft form. It will be updated substantially as Python 3.7 moves towards release, so it's worth checking back even after reading earlier versions.
Summary – Release highlights¶
New Features¶
PEP 538: Legacy C Locale Coercion¶
An ongoing challenge within the Python 3 series has been determining a sensible default strategy for handling the "7-bit ASCII" text encoding assumption currently implied by the use of the default C locale on non-Windows platforms.
PEP 538 updates the default interpreter command line interface to automatically coerce that locale to an available UTF-8 based locale as described in the documentation of the
PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE environment variable. Automatically setting
LC_CTYPE this way means that both the core interpreter
and locale-aware C extensions (such as
readline) will assume the use of UTF-8 as
the default text encoding, rather than ASCII.
The platform support definition in PEP 11 has also been updated to limit full text handling support to suitably configured non-ASCII based locales.
As part of this change, the default error handler for
stdin and
stdout is now
surrogateescape (rather than
strict) when using any of the defined coercion target locales (currently
C.utf8, and
UTF-8). The default error handler for
stderr continues to be
backslashreplace, regardless of locale.
Locale coercion is silent by default, but to assist in debugging potentially locale related integration problems, explicit warnings (emitted directly on
stderr can be requested by setting
PYTHONCOERCECLOCALE=warn. This setting
will also cause the Python runtime to emit a warning if the legacy C locale remains active when the core interpreter is initialized.
See also
- PEP 538 – Coercing the legacy C locale to a UTF-8 based locale
- PEP written and implemented by Nick Coghlan.
Other Language Changes¶
- More than 255 arguments can now be passed to a function, and a function can now have more than 255 parameters. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-12844 and bpo-18896.)
bytearray.fromhex()now ignore all ASCII whitespace, not only spaces. (Contributed by Robert Xiao in bpo-28927.)
ImportErrornow displays module name and module
__file__path when
from ... import ...fails. (Contributed by Matthias Bussonnier in bpo-29546.)
- Circular imports involving absolute imports with binding a submodule to a name are now supported. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-30024.)
object.__format__(x, '')is now equivalent to
str(x)rather than
format(str(self), ''). (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-28974.)
New Modules¶
- None yet.
Improved Modules¶
parse_intermixed_args() supports letting the user intermix
options and positional arguments on the command line, as is possible in many unix commands. It supports most but not all argparse features. (Contributed by paul.j3 in bpo-14191.)
b2a_uu() function now accepts an optional backtick keyword argument. When it's true, zeros are represented
'`' instead of spaces. (Contributed by Xiang Zhang in bpo-30103.)
The class
HTMLCalendar has new class attributes which ease the customisation of the CSS classes in the produced
HTML calendar. (Contributed by Oz Tiram in bpo-30095.)
parse_multipart() returns the same results as
FieldStorage : for non-file fields, the value associated
to a key is a list of strings, not bytes. (Contributed by Pierre Quentel in bpo-29979.)
contextlib.asynccontextmanager() has been added. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra in
dis() function now is able to disassemble nested code objects (the code of comprehensions, generator expressions and nested functions,
and the code used for building nested classes). (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-11822.)
README.rst is now included in the list of distutils standard READMEs and therefore included in source distributions. (Contributed by Ryan Gonzalez in bpo-11913.)
SimpleHTTPRequestHandler supports the HTTP If-Modified-Since header. The
server returns the 304 response status if the target file was not modified after the time specified in the header. (Contributed by Pierre Quentel in bpo-29654.)
Add the parameter
directory to the
SimpleHTTPRequestHandler and the
--directory to the command line of the module
server. With
this parameter, the server serves the specified directory, by default it uses the current working directory. (Contributed by Stéphane Wirtel and Julien Palard in bpo-28707.)
Added another argument monetary in
format_string() of
locale. If monetary is true, the conversion uses monetary thousands separator and grouping strings. (Contributed by Garvit in bpo-10379.)

Added support for
bytes paths in
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-28682.)
Added support for file descriptors in
scandir() on Unix.
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-25996.)
New function
os.register_at_fork() allows registering Python callbacks to be executed on a process fork. (Contributed
by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-16500.)
set_trace() now takes an optional
header keyword-only argument. If given, this is printed to the console just before
debugging begins.
string.Template now lets you to optionally modify the regular expression pattern for braced placeholders and non-braced
placeholders separately. (Contributed by Barry Warsaw in bpo-1198569.)
sentinel attributes now preserve their identity when they are
copied or
(Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-20804.)
register_function() of
xmlrpc.server.SimpleXMLRPCDispatcher and its subclasses can be used as a decorator. (Contributed by Xiang Zhang in bpo-7769.)
The internal
unicodedata database has been upgraded to use Unicode 10.
(Contributed by Benjamin Peterson.)
urllib.parse.quote() has been updated from RFC 2396 to RFC 3986, adding ~ to the set of characters
that is never quoted by default. (Contributed by Christian Theune and Ratnadeep Debnath in bpo-16285.)
encode() now accepts an optional backtick keyword argument. When it's true, zeros are represented by
'`' instead of spaces. (Contributed by Xiang Zhang in bpo-30103.)
zipapp.create_archive() now accepts an optional filter argument, to allow the user to select which files should be included in the archive.
- Added two new opcodes:
CALL_METHODto avoid instantiation of bound method objects for method calls, which results in method calls being faster up to 20%. (Contributed by Yury Selivanov and INADA Naoki in bpo-26110.)
- Searching some unlucky Unicode characters (like Ukrainian capital "Є") in a string was to 25 times slower than searching other characters. Now it is slower only by 3 times in worst case. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-24821.)
- Fast implementation from standard C library is now used for functions
erfc()in the
mathmodule. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-26121.)
- The
os.fwalk()function has been sped up by 2 times. This was done using the
os.scandir()function. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-25996.)
- Optimized case-insensitive matching and searching of
regular expressions. Searching some patterns can now be up to 20 times faster. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-30285.)
selectors.DevpollSelector.modify()may be around 10% faster under heavy loads. (Contributed by Giampaolo Rodola' in bpo-30014)
Build and C API Changes¶
- A full copy of libffi is no longer bundled for use when building the
_ctypesmodule on non-OSX UNIX platforms. An installed copy of libffi is now required when building
_ctypeson such platforms. Contributed by Zachary Ware in bpo-27979.
- The fields
docof structures
PyStructSequence_Desc, and
wrapperbaseare now of type
const char *rather of
char *. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-28761.)

PyUnicode_AsUTF8()is now of type
const char *rather of
char *. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-28769.)
- Added functions

PyOS_AfterFork()is deprecated in favour of the new functions
PyOS_AfterFork_Child(). (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-16500.)
- The Windows build process no longer depends on Subversion to pull in external sources, a Python script is used to download zipfiles from GitHub instead. If Python 3.6 is not found on the system (via
py -3.6), NuGet is used to download a copy of 32-bit Python for this purpose. (Contributed by Zachary Ware in bpo-30450.)
- Support for building
--without-threadsis removed. (Contributed by Antoine Pitrou in bpo-31370.).
Other CPython Implementation Changes¶

lineevents from the interpreter by setting the new
f_trace_linesattribute to
Falseon the frame being traced. (Contributed by Nick Coghlan in bpo-31344.)
- Trace hooks may now opt in to receiving
opcodeevents from the interpreter by setting the new
f_trace_opcodesattribute to
Trueon the frame being traced. (Contributed by Nick Coghlan in bpo-31344.)
- Function
PySlice_GetIndicesEx()is deprecated and replaced with a macro if
Py_LIMITED_APIis not set or set to the value between
0x03060000(not including) or
0x03060100or higher. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-27867.)
- Deprecated
locale, use the
format_string()instead. (Contributed by Garvit in bpo-10379.)

Changes in the C API¶
- The type of results of
PyThread_get_thread_ident(), and the id parameter of

unsigned long. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-6532.)
PyUnicode_AsWideCharString()now raises a
ValueErrorif the second argument is NULL and the
wchar_t*string contains null characters. (Contributed by Serhiy Storchaka in bpo-30708.)
Windows Only¶
- The python launcher, (py.exe), can accept 32 & 64 bit specifiers without having to specify a minor version as well. So
py -3-32and
py -3-64become valid as well as
py -3.7-32, also the -m-64 and -m.n-64 forms are now accepted to force 64 bit python even if 32 bit would have otherwise been used. If the specified version is not available py.exe will error exit. (Contributed by Steve Barnes in bpo-30291.)
- The launcher can be run as "py -0" to produce a list of the installed pythons, with default marked with an asterix. Running "py -0p" will include the paths. If py is run with a version specifier that cannot be matched it will also print the short form list of available specifiers. (Contributed by Steve Barnes in bpo-30362.)
API and Feature Removals¶
- Unknown escapes consisting of
'\'and an ASCII letter in replacement templates for
re.sub()were deprecated in Python 3.5, and will now cause an error.
- Removed support of the exclude argument in
tarfile.TarFile.add(). It was deprecated in Python 2.7 and 3.2. Use the filter argument instead.
- The
splitunc()function in the
ntpathmodule was deprecated in Python 3.1, and has now been removed. Use the
splitdrive()function instead.
collections.namedtuple()no longer supports the verbose parameter or
_sourceattribute which showed the generated source code for the named tuple class. This was part of an optimization designed to speed-up class creation. (Contributed by Jelle Zijlstra with further improvements by INADA Naoki, Serhiy Storchaka, and Raymond Hettinger in bpo-28638.)
- Functions
tuple()no longer take keyword arguments. The first argument of
int()can now be passed only as positional argument.
- Removed previously deprecated in Python 2.4 classes
_InternalDictin the
plistlibmodule. Dict values in the result of functions
readPlistFromBytes()are now normal dicts. You no longer can use attribute access to access items of these dictionaries.
Porting to Python 3.7¶
This section lists previously described changes and other bugfixes that may require changes to your code.

- Attributes
coded_valueof class
http.cookies.Morselare now read-only. Assigning to them was deprecated in Python 3.5. Use the

- The
struct.Struct.formattype is now
strinstead of
bytes. (Contributed by Victor Stinner in bpo-21071.)

Single-use plastics are everywhere, with most of us regularly relying on the convenience of products such as plastic bags, straws, utensils, takeaway coffee cups, food packaging and water bottles.
This story has been corrected.
Recycling equipment company Bulk Handling Systems recently announced two facilities – one already opened and another in the works – that will rely heavily on robotics and artificial intelligence.
Chinese officials have accused the U.S. of hypocrisy for denigrating the scrap imports ban amid a brewing trade war between the two nations.
In less than a month, Europe has laid out its legislative and long-term policy blueprint on waste and recycling. Continue Reading
An equipment company has given its intelligent robot a new task in a new workplace. The artificial intelligence sortation unit will recover six separate materials at a facility in the U.K.
It's no secret that China is a leader in international world trade. For years, the country has been a major importer of many types of foreign goods, including timber, dairy products, and petrochemicals. China is also the world's largest importer of waste. Last year, Chinese manufacturers and recyclers imported 7.3 million metric tons of waste plastics (valued at $3.7 billion), accounting for 56 percent of world imports in that category. It also took in more than half of the world's exports of waste paper.
A research paper on individual steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has precipitated a host of mainstream media stories, many of which aren't kind to recycling.
A bio-derived plastic that could replace PET in food and drink packaging has received interim recycling approval from an industry organization in Europe.
For North America's largest haulers, recycling pleasure has given way to pain. After enjoying big returns from higher commodity prices in the first quarter, three recycling giants noted tumbling fiber prices in April.

This past weekend I had a baby shower for me and my soon to be born baby girl! I love planning events and organizing details, picking decor and figuring out a menu etc..
Back in 2017, I had my sons baby shower planned for when I was 36 weeks but we ended up meeting him at 35 weeks! We had pushed the shower date until his actual due date, that way we had some time to spend with him and get back to normal a bit. Preferably, I opted to plan it for 32 weeks this time, it seems much easier than having a newborn at the shower, with everyone wanting a turn holding, breastfeeding breaks and so on.
My best friend was so gracious to host my shower at her home and help me with all of the details. I invited close friends and family with the cutest invitations from Vistaprint!
Balloons, garlands, bouquets, cake, food and drinks! All of the planning for this event was so much fun to do. I love using Pinterest for inspiration and ideas to host a fun yet elegant shower. I had so many ideas, brunch or a high tea sort of deal was high on my list, as well as a casual, laid back, games and food kind of afternoon.
Decor: Decor is my absolute favourite part of any event, I had once dreamed of becoming an interior decorator actually! I was lucky enough to already have some of the items I needed for the shower, as well as finding good deals on used sites. Some, I did purchase through Amazon or at Walmart, and the flowers were from a local grocery store. I wanted to keep the theme pink and white with some greenery! Very in and elegent.
Food: The event was planned for the afternoon, so after lunch and before dinner sort of deal. I didn't want to have a full sit down meal so I had prepped some veggie platters as well as fruit and some other hors devours.
Invitations and Registry: Vistaprint is my all time go to for invitations, holiday cards, business related products and more! They have such a wide range of gorgeous already made designs to choose from or you can make your own from the start. I had chosen an already made design that was fun and pretty but not too extravagent. As for the registry, I had searched many different sites that did registrys and not going to lie, it took me a while to find one with things that we needed for the baby as well as some cute items. I ended up making one with Babies R' Us and it was so simple!
Games + Activities: I love planning fun games for guests to play and win some little prizes. There's so many games to choose from, the ones I chose were; "don't say baby", "would she rather", "how many m&m's" and "remember what's on the tray"
Some activities I had were "guess her birthdate" "late night diapers" and "name suggestions"
"remember what's on the tray" game

Consider this the UK supported slavery, so did France, Spain and other countries should our flags never be flown?Hi Wayne
I have just seen the ITV coverage of our the Cub scout celebratory camp (possibly at Gilwell), Bear was filmed in front of a display of Union flags, the Stars and Strips and what appeared to be the Flag of the Slaver States of the Confederacy was this flag actually been flown ?
If so does the person who authorised it understand that the flag is highly political in the USA and the slavery it stands for is contrary to any concept of Scouting values ?
The Confederate Flag did not solely represent slavery or those supporting it, it represented all of it's peoples. Just like our flag represents us or perhaps we should hang our heads in perpetual shame because our forefathers made what we consider now to be wrong and immoral decisions? Lets get rid of the Union flag because of our history, the forced immigration of children to Australia, the Crusades, etc..
Or why not be accepting of our history, learn from it and understand the mistakes people made and vow not to make them again

One has to remember that Lincoln was not an advocate of emancipation. He only freed slaves when the Union was at risk of losing the war.
We do need to be accepting of our history, not apologetic, but that sometimes means we need to think of how others see us today based on our past...

If you think this is purely a historical irrelevance just goggle confederate flag and check if it is a live political issue.
Perhaps if we didn't honour the flag of the white supremacists (which is how most African Americans and many Black Britons regard that flag) then may be we wouldn't have to waste quite so much valuable air time denying we are a white middle class movement.

I rather suspect this is a fine example of why its important to not give or take offence.
There are still people in Scotland who are offended by the Union Flag and will let their feeling be known in no uncertain terms if one flutters its way through their village - and there are those who may have these thoughts but choose not to express them.
That being said, this thread could be entertaining...

However, I would agree, it is a tad insensitive to fly Old Dixie - I didn't even see it flown or worn, or sold, anywhere in New Orleans last month...but then, I wasn't looking for it.

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. Lao Tzu (600 BC - 531 BC)
We did a cowboy themed wide game a few years ago, I don't remember if we had flags - I'm thinking not... I know we made cacti, ummm, cactuses, mmm, cactus'? (wotevs) - out of old carpets tubes we raided from the local Carpet Warehouse.
I don't think anyone was offended.
i suspect that the flag you're all talking about is described as: rectangular with a navy blue saltire with white outline emblazoned with 13 white five-pointed stars on a red background, yes?
that was not the official flag of the confederate states of america.
there were 3 national confederate flags. the first, termed 'the stars and bars', was 3 horizontal bars, red-white-red, with a blue square canton containing 13 white five-pointed stars. the second was termed 'the stain-less banner' and comprised a white rectangle (no red and white bars now) with a square canton containing a white outlined blue saltire containing 13 white five-pointed stars on a red background. the third, termed the blood-stained banner, was similar to the second but had an added red vertical stripe on the right of the white rectangle.
the first major engagement of the american civil war took place not far from washington DC near manassas, july 21 1861. the yankee north called it the first battle of bull run (named for the creek that ran through the battlefield), while the confederates called it first manassas (after the nearby strategic railway junction called manassas junction). a principal feature of the battle was the confusion that reigned on both sides. regiments carried flags so that commanders could visually see the deployment of their forces. however, the confederate stars and bars and the yankee stars and stripes were easily confused, especially at a distance and when there was little wind and flags were limp. furthermore, regiments from different companies in different states also had their regimental flags which added to the confusion. it also didn't help that the two opposing armies were largely a bunch of amateurs and that the engagement was taken light-heartedly by the aristocrats of washington who came out with their ladies in all their finery to enjoy picnics while the battle was taking place (so assured was the north of victory!)
(i visited the battlefield some years ago and can recall the place quite well: how jackson got his nickname, henry house hill, matthews hill, and the infamous stone bridge.)
after the battle, general p g t beauregard of the confederate army of the potomac asked for the confederate flag to be changed to lessen the chance of confusion or for there to be at least two flags, one for state and one for battle. it took a little while but from this evolved the battle flag.
later in 1861 the army of north virginia, a reorganised army of the potomac, and commanded by robert e lee, received the new the battle flag. this was a red square flag with a white-outlined navy blue saltire containing 12 five-pointed stars. (a 13th star for kentucky was added later).
the army of north virginia's battle flag was flown at all subsequent engagements (such as at gettysburg 1-3 july 1863, another battlefield i've visited) until lee's surrender at appomattox court house 9 april 1865 (and i've been there too!)
the battle flag became prominent post civil war when it was adopted by many confederate veterans groups. it never was the confederate flag, however, a rectangular variant is now widely recognised and called 'the confederate flag'.
the flag was revived in the mid 20thC principally for political reasons, as an anti-federal government symbol, and to stand for southern culture and heritage. the battle flag was reintroduced as a canton in the state flag of georgia.
today most americans are indifferent to its use, however, significant minorities, especially black americans, see it as a symbol of slavery and racism. its controversial use was not aided by it being adopted as a leading symbol by far right groups (southern dixiecrats) and the kkk when it re-emerged in the 40s and 50s.
it is a symbol of controversy. georgia redesigned its state flag removing the battle flag from the canton and reintroducing a design similar to the stars and bars, the first confederate flag. the battle flag was flown (enshrined in law) outside the south carolina state capitol from 1961 until quite recently following the shootings in charleston, iirc. the battle flag is still to be seen in the canton of the state flag of mississippi.
the battle flag is highly stigmatised as a racist symbol (as is the swastika because of its use in and association with nazism).
outside of the US it's mainly seen as just another american symbol seen in popular culture. some of you oldies here will no doubt remember those fun-loving good ol' southern boys the dukes of hazzard from early 80s TV who drove around in a souped-up dodge charger emblazoned with the battle flag on its roof. US civil war history is not that well-known in the UK and elsewhere.
would i fly it? no, to do so is disregarding the sensitivities that many hold about its symbolism.
would i allow people in my group to fly it at camp say? no, i see no need to fly what is after all a battle flag! we're not a war with anyone!
should it be flown? no.
should it be banned? no.
i would strongly encourage it not to be flown.

Tony Ransley (30-05-2016)
Just to clarify the context;
I am concerned that the Chief Scout was filmed in front of what appeared to be a large circular display of our Union flags, United States Flags alongside Battle Flags of the slaver Confederacy.
I hope I have made clear I only got a fleeting glance and am seeking clarification that such a display existed and was located on a Scout Campsite (any confirmation on this would be appreciated from those attending events this weekend)
I am aware that the flying the Confederate flag is highly controversial in America and its connections with white supremacist and President Obama's objection to it has been widely reported on both sides of the Atlantic. I belive our PR people should be avoiding giving either Bear's or Scouting's detractors opportunities to have a go.
I am particularly concerned because stating that we are not only catering for White middle class young people has become a mantra from HQ prehaps if we were more aware of current issues around diversity we could avoid sending out mixed messages.

Tony, I don't think you do your argument any favours when you use such evocative language and don't address the other well made points in this thread.

That flag is the centre of some extreme debate in the USA. It's being taken down from statehouses and there is much unhappinesses on one side at its removal but an awful lot of people see it as a symbol of hatred. There is *still* segregation in some US school systems... (yes. Really. It came up again last week) and there is a shocking level of racism over there.
It's a flag that should not be flown over here. It *is* a divisive symbol at best.

Also. If I saw it flying at a group event, I would insist it were taken down. Native American stuff based on hackneyed stereotypes is heap um discouraged by big chief Chris. But I don't pull rank.

You can download the latest version of the VPN software here. You can also try connecting to Brown's VPN using a browser-plugin method. Refer to this KB Article on compatibility and instructions.
If you need any assistance in doing the below fixes, please reach out to the IT Service Center or stop by our office.
Uninstall and Reinstall
Often times, simply removing the software, restarting and reinstalling is all that is needed to fix connection issues. Please make sure to restart. This is an important step as uninstalling software often requires restarting to allow for additional changes to be made to your system.
On macOS, uninstallation can be difficult as outlined in F5 Networks' article here. We have created and attached a small app to our KB article that you can use to perform the removal part of those instructions. Make sure that the F5 client is not running.
Malware can affect the behavior of your computer's software and network connections. Although you may not think you have malware, we strongly suggest running anti-malware scans on your computer to confirm it's clean.
If you need assistance with this, you can reach out to the IT Service Center via chat or by phone for remote assistance or stop by our office.
Firewalls and Anti-Virus Software
Using protection software is important. However, strict anti-virus software or firewalls may prevent the VPN software from connecting. Make sure to allow exceptions within your software to allow the F5 Edge Client to connect.
You can temporarily disable your protection software and attempt to connect to Brown's VPN to at least determine if the issue is due to your AV/firewall. You may have to go as far as removing/uninstalling the software completely in order to connect. If this is the case, you may need to consult with the AV's/firewall's developer on how to properly configure it to allow the VPN software to connect.
Your Computer's Hosts File
On both Mac and PC, there is a file known as the hosts file. This can be modified by software installed on your computer. If modified, it can block or redirect your network traffic and could affect your ability to connect to Brown's VPN. Resetting the file may allow the VPN software to connect.
Please note that some software on your computer may require this file to be modified to work correctly. If this is the case, you would need to modify this file to remove any entries that block Brown's VPN.
If you need assistance with this, you can reach out to the IT Service Center via chat or by phone for remote assistance or stop by our office.
Network Drivers
Outdated or corrupt network drivers on your PC can also cause issues. We suggest going to your computer's manufacturer's support site and downloading the most recent network drivers.
We suggest you update your drivers in the following order:
- Uninstall the existing F5 software installation if you haven't done so already.
- Restart your computer.
- Download and run the driver software.
- Once completed, restart your computer.
- Download and install the latest version of the VPN software.
- Restart your computer.
- Launch the VPN software and attempt to connect.
Other VPN Software
While working with other institutions, or your employer, you may have had to install another VPN software on your computer. If you do not use this software, please make sure to uninstall it before installing Brown's VPN software.
If you need to use more than one VPN software, try uninstalling all VPN software, restarting, and re-installing them one by one. For each VPN software, make sure to install it, restart, and connect successfully to it. Once you have done that, disconnect it, and proceed to the next one.
If issues persist afterward, you can contact the IT Service Center for further troubleshooting F5 Edge Client. You may also need to reach out to the support team for your other VPN software.
In some cases, running more than one VPN software causes incompatibility issues that prevents them from working together. You may need to use a different computer if this is the case.
Advanced VPN Troubleshooting (Windows)
- Uninstall the VPN Software.
- Restart.
- Reset Internet Explorer. This guide helps. Make sure you do this with Internet Explorer and not Microsoft Edge. Internet Explorer is searchable in the Start Menu.
- Restart
- Install the VPN software again and attempt connection.
If that doesn't work, you can try these more advanced steps.
- Uninstall the VPN software.
- Restart.
- Perform a search for Device Manager in your Start Menu. Or right-click on the Start Button and click on Device Manager.
- Click on View, at the top, and click on Show hidden devices
- Then, expand the Network Adapters in the device list.
- Right-click each adapter, and then select Uninstall device > Uninstall. Make sure to NOT have the Delete Driver... selected.
- After uninstalling the adapter, select the Start button > Power > Restart.
- The adapters should reinstall on startup
- Reconnect to your wireless network
- Install the VPN software
- Attempt to make a VPN connection using this software.

13 September 2011 (Translation from Thai news article)
The Koh Chang police were notified when the headless body of an unidentified woman washed up by rocks near Top Resort, White Sand beach on Monday, September 12. The police found the naked body in an advanced state of decomposition lying face down on the beach. From the state of the body it is estimated that it had been in the water for 5-6 days.
Judging by the appearance, the police believe the deceased is a foreign woman. No traces of injuries, other than a missing head, were found on the body. The police think she may have died elsewhere and the body washed up on the shore where it was spotted by hotel staff. The body has been sent to the coroner in order to determine cause of death and the police continue to investigate to determine the woman's identity.
( No more details as the story only appears briefly in Thai papers and the English language papers in Thailand will probably avoid it.)

Time for a bit of a vent…I am sick of seeing people on TV and the internet giving advice on how to lose weight when they themselves have never had to lose weight. Pictures of some ripped or skinny person selling their diet when they have never had to lose weight.
I imagine, and I guess I can verify this, gaining weight is a lot easier than losing it. I mean, stuffing your face with donuts and milk to gain weight would sure be a lot more fun than stuffing your face with spinach, kale and chard to lose weight. Right?
I know a little about both. As a guy who once weighed over 300 pounds I sure know a path to gaining weight. OK, not the kind of weight that most want to gain, but I can sure pack on the pounds if I want to. And now that I weigh about 210 I know how to lose it, too.
What I don't know and what I am struggling with is losing the final 10-20 pounds of fat. Maybe it's loose skin, maybe it's not. From what I have read loose skin is paper thin and what I have left isn't paper thin. My skin might be a bit loose, but there is something there I can still lose. I would LOVE to do a muscle-up someday weighing under 200 pounds. Chest to bar pull ups would sure get easier and maybe I wouldn't think handstand push ups are the bane of my existence.
How do I do this?
I workout five to seven days a week. When I workout I nearly throw up from time to time and I always soak my shirt with sweat. I am not doing some easy things when I workout. I see my strength numbers growing and my metcon times dropping. Most would say that those numbers are all that matters, not what the scale says. And I agree with that. However, I want to look better with my shirt off. I look better now than I did even a few years ago and definitely better than I did five years ago, but I want to get ride of these last few pounds. Count calories? Did that. Whole 30? Did that. Paleo? Still doing that. Zone diet? Did that. Counting macros? Currently doing that.
What I am sick of, and this will seem like I am picking on one person here, is seeing Christmas Abbott looking ripped and skinny and trying to sell me a diet. Why? Because she used to look like this:
View this post on Instagram
#TBT in 2000/2001 before I started to love my body. I was about 95#s here, all skin and bones. Smoked like a chimney and drank daily. If you look at my mother you can see she was living the same lifestyle (minus the excessive drinking). Since she has also quit smoking (after 30 years of being a smoker) and had been taking care of herself better, loving her body better. It's never too late to start a change. Find your inspiration, your reason and go for it. Find out how I transformed my life through my #thebodyreview www.ChristmasAbbott.com #christmasabbott #relentlesslife #thebodyreview #badadsbodybook #fitaid #Fitmoo #nfsports #neverquit #rehband #eleikosport @fitmoo @fitaid @nfsports_ @eleikosport @rehband @fitmarkbags @powerandgraceperformance @questnutrition
We – especially the fat people I know and used to be – know this kind of person. The uber skinny person that can eat a steady diet of fried mozzarella, ice cream and pizza and never gain a pound. I used to live with a guy who ate frozen White Castle burgers, cheese pizza and cereal like it was the only food on Earth and never weighed more than about 130 pounds at about 5'10". I have a cousin who lives off of a similar diet with the same results.
Not everyone is created equal. Some of us have to really work hard to not get fat. Some of us do not. Jealous? Sort of.
So when Abbott peddles her new diet I wonder. I wonder what makes her qualified to tell me what to eat? When I searched "Christmas Abbott dietary experience" this came back as the first result from Google, which is on the cover of her book:
CrossFit celebrity Christmas Abbott shows how to attain the body of your dreams with a targeted eating strategy and total-body workout plan that will whip glutes and hips—and every problem area—into top shape.
As a formerly "skinny fat" woman, Christmas Abbott knows what real women need to get the butt and body of their dreams. In The Badass Body Diet, she dispels the myth of the health benefits of a "pear shape" body, teaches readers how to spot-reduce excess fat with targeted meal plans and recipes that zap cellulite, and galvanizes them with a quick and simple workout plan for a toned butt—the key to total body fitness.
So she is a CrossFit celebrity who was "skinny fat". I want someone to teach me what to eat who was "fat-fat" and isn't just a face/body. One who actually had to lose weight, the tough weight, and how they did it. Or how they got others to lose that weight.
Abbott is probably the nicest person you meet and probably one of the hardest working, I just find it hard to buy….
…ahh…who am I kidding? I am bitter. I wish I was skinny and just had to add some muscle to an already super skinny frame. Let me lift all the weights and drink a bunch of milk. That would be awesome. I would mix in some chocolate milk and peanut butter for sure. Sounds like a much more fun battle than trying to lose 100 pounds only to look like you have small bags of skin hanging from your body that probably requires surgery to correct.
Damn! Why did I sit around playing Tecmo Bowl while eating chips and salsa in school?!

8th April - 14th April 2002
Welcome back to Abiland again. This week has been very hectic again for little old me. Grandma and Grandpa came to visit and we went out to a nearby town, where Grandma tried to buy me some clothes all to no avail. Then on Tuesday the nurse visited again to check up on me. I was weighed again and now weigh a massive 12lbs 1½oz. Daddy called me a right little bloater, how cruel I am still nice and slim and well proportioned really. We then did a trace on Tuesday night and I did really well. 9mins 50sec below 95% oxygen saturation and 5mins 20sec below 93%. The doctors thought I had done well enough and recovered from my cold sufficiently that my oxygen could be turned back down again to 150cc per minute. This made Mummy and Daddy very pleased as it means I am progressing again towards not having any oxygen at all. Mummy and Daddy have been trying out some new stickers for my tubes. As you may be able to see no more white tape and they are lovely and small too, which makes the pictures so much nicer.
On Thursday Mummy had a friend come over to see her and they brought Daniel, who is a baby boy, a little younger than me but just about the same in corrected age. he was nice and we played together. I must say he seems quite nice and hopefully will come over again when we are a bit bigger and I can compete for attention. He is much louder than me, I could not get a word in edge ways and he wore me out with all his energy. I am such a quiet little thing really....
Then we came to the highlight of the week for me a whole day out with Mummy and Daddy at a wedding, I got dressed up in my best frock (that fits me anyway) and travelled a long way to go to this big party thing, and everybody came to look at me and see how I was getting on. Everybody commented how well behaved I was and that I made such a little amount of noise, well compared to all the other babies anyway. We had lots of pictures taken and Mummy danced with me at the disco in the evening which was great fun, luckily we had been practicing at home before hand so I knew what to expect.. We finally got home way past my normal bedtime and I was so tired out from all the partying that I fell swiftly to sleep and did not wake up again until morning.
I will leave you with some of my pictures for the week, hope you enjoy them, see you all soon.
|Grandpa, stop tickling me.....
|I'll explode if I do this long enough..
|Super Babe
|Eating is so tiring...!!!!
|More pictures Mummy...
|Does this angle make my feet look big ?
|Passport photos R' US
