Citta: Third Millennium International Competition of Ideas
by Doriana O Mandrelli
This new book documents an architecture competition staged as part of the Venice Biennial's 7th International Architecture Exhibition. The objective of the competition was to identify and establish a ''map'' of the current condition of architecture and its teaching in schools. Open to students and architects--and only on-line--the instructions for participants were to submit four digital images, illustrating the proposed idea of a city for the third millennium. Almost all of the proposals fall into three overarching categories: first, ''green'' cities responding to environmental issues, second, cities oriented towards the possibilities of new technologies, and third, cities that address the afflictions of global capitalism--refugees, migrants, rising levels of poverty, and new social conflicts. This beautifully designed new book documents the best of the entries, and also includes a CD-ROM.

Landscape Transformations: Urbicus
by Jean-Marc Gaulier
Since its creation in 1996 by Jean-Marc Gaulier, Urbicus has developed 'naturbanity' , a landscape practice as a pertinent means of tackling urban questions and which treats landscape architecture as an 'architecture of the land area' . Surrounded by a multi-disciplinary team, Jean -Marc Gaulier leads land-use planning strategies not to create a body of his own work, but to strive for the preservation, the enhancement and the balanced development of ordinary or iconic landscapes that are entrusted to him. Through prospective study missions and programmes, management plans and landscape plans, urban planning and development, and consulting and assistance to local authorities, the agency approaches the landscape projects in all its states: the rehabilitating of riverside or coastal sites preserving nature from urban or tourist pressure; the development of public spaces to regenerate the town of yesterday or equip the city of tomorrow; projects for towns in renewal or undergoing urban development structured by landscape; infrastructure projects thought of in terms of views landscape, natural and urban garden projects that are the foundation for positive environments. This book 'Landscape Transformations' is a review of projects chosen to illustrate that the landscape, itself at the crossroads of the viable, the liveable and the fair, offers an appropriate way to respond 'sustainably' to the challenges of land-use planning. The diversity of projects shown testifies to the fact that 'landscape architecture' is a pragmatic form of urban planning.

They are united by a common ambition: to have an impact on the development and transformation of cities and landscape through meaningful designs and significant spaces where the identity of places is the keystone of the design process. Far from being technical, this team prioritises collective knowledge and shared experience. This book brings together twenty three projects that are the product of these shared viewpoints. It offers a chance to wander 'Between the lines' of landscapes and cities with a diversity of contexts, sites and programmes; and so it reveals the world of Atelier Villes & Paysages, which mixes sensitivity and pragmatism, creativity and attention to detail.

Margaret Hefland Architects: Evolution of an Elemental Style
by Margaret Hefland, Marti Cowan
In a collection of projects developed during the 1990s, Margaret Helfand Architects argues for an architecture of logic, simplicity, and sensuality. Presented chronologically, nineteen projects ranging from showrooms, residences, academic buildings, parks, and functional objects are examined in photographs and texts along the three axes fundamental to the firm's work: geometry, structure, and materials. Basic materials such as steel, wood, glass, and stone are used with a minimum of transformation, allowing their inherent colors, textures, and structural properties to create visual stimulation. Seen are such diverse works as Vertical House on a Trapezoidal Site, Octagon: Structure and Landscape, and Apartment for Art and Music, as well as the Time Out New York offices, Williamsburg Community Center, and a child development center.

Marketing and Communication for Architects: A Handbook
by Edgar Haupt
The profile and standing of the architectural profession is undergoing a transformation. Competition from civil engineers and integrated construction companies is on the increase and the market segments are becoming narrower. Buildings alone are insufficient advertising. It has become vitally important for architects to exploit the previously neglected fields of public relations, marketing, and branding in order to define, present and convey the quality and range of architectural services they offer. The purpose of this handbook is to introduce architects to those fields of marketing and communication design which are particularly relevant to their profession, to help them promote their services more creatively, develop marketing strategies for their everyday needs, and use communication and media more professionally. It presents numerous examples, solutions and strategies and demonstrates how architects can use them to personal advantage.

Part 2 of the 3-part "The Second Coming." The Church of the Second Coming is more than just a religion, it's a pop culture phenomenon. But what happens when the man Chance is impersonating actually believes he's the new messiah, with the power to heal the sick and raise the dead?
Featuring guest art by Cameron Stewart (SEAGUY)! If anyone from Maggie Stains's past recognizes her, she'll be dead on sight — unless Christopher Chance can help her become someone else. But what happens when a man who can barely recall his identity creates someone else's — especially a woman's?

Q: ASP .NET Print iFrame I have an ASP .Net application that prints when a button is clicked. The application uses an iFrame to print.
This is my Markup:
<iframe id="ifPrint" clientidmode="static" runat="server" style="width:100%;height:1px;" />

This is my Javascript function that gets called to print the report:
function PrintReport() {
    window.frames["ifPrint"].focus();
    window.frames["ifPrint"].print();
}

The button is in a page called Search.aspx. This is what happens when the print button is clicked:
ifPrint.Attributes["src"] = "~/Pages/PrintWeightTicket.aspx?wt=" + sWeightTicket;
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "PrintWeight", "PrintReport();", true);

As you can see, the button is supposed to set the source to the PrintWeightTicket.aspx page and print the contents of THAT page. But for some reason, when I hit print, it prints the current page. I put a breakpoint in my C# code and checked the value of ifPrint.Src and it was set correctly to the PrintWeightTicket page. But for some reason, when the function in the Javascript gets called, the src is just not taking effect.
Things I've tried:

*

*I tried setting the iframe's source like this:
ifprint.Src = "~/Pages/PrintWeightTicket.aspx?wt=" + sWeightTicket;
That did not do anything.

*I added this:
Response.Redirect("~/Pages/PrintWeightTicket.aspx?wt=" + sWeightTicket, false);
Right below the ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript line. It works if I do that! But, my boss tells me we don't want the page to redirect to the print page. We want the page to stay at Search page and the print dialog pops up and prints the redirect page. So I had to comment that out and now it does not work.

*I saw in a post on SO that I could try calling the ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript function from Page_PreRender() function. When I do that, I get the print popup as soon as I open the main page. I don't want that. That actually would not even work because I need to enter the weight ticket ID to be able print anything.

Anyone has any ideas as to why the iFrame's src is not getting set?
Thank you.
P.S.:
The ClientIDMode = "Static" line in the markup needs to stay for reasons. If anyone thinks that is the reason why this does not work, I'll look into working around that.
EDIT 1:
After a bit of testing, I found out that my current code works perfectly in Chrome. But it does not work in IE.
EDIT 2:
My Javascript file is called JS_Scripts.js. I have a AJS.JS and a AJS_fx.JS. When I open Developer tools and run HTTP Watch (The green play button under network tab, not sure if that is what it is called), I notice that all three of my javascript files AND a WebResource.axd?..... file are getting a result of (Aborted). Although, it does has a result of 200 in Chrome. IE is not completing the execution of the scripts for some reason.

A: After over a week of banging my head on the keyboard about this, I caved and went to my boss (who is ridiculously smart, I sometimes think he is Jon Skeet and uses a fake identity on here).
For anyone who has this issue:
This is why this happens:
ifPrint.Attributes["src"] = "~/Pages/PrintWeightTicket.aspx?wt=" + sWeightTicket;

This line is setting the source attribute of the iFrame correctly. I made the iFrame visible and see that the iFrame actually loads the link mentioned in the source.
But, the next line is why this problem happens.
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "PrintWeight", "PrintReport();", true);

This line calls the function called PrintReport() in a Javascript. This function does ifPrint.Focus() and ifPrint.Print(). But the problem is, the iFrame is not done loading when these two lines are being called. So there is nothing to print in the iFrame. Hence, the iFrame kept printing the page it was on.
Here is how to fix it:
Instead of using ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript() to call the PrintReport() function, use the following:
ifPrint.Attributs("onLoad") = "PrintReport()";

This will make sure that the ifPrint.Print() function actually prints the iFrame.
Thank you.

Former Cayman Premier Claims 'Orchestrated' Campaign against Him
December 26, 2012	0 Comments
Bush, 57, was arrested on December 12 and questioned in connection with a number of ongoing police investigations involving the alleged misuse of a government credit card and alleged breach of trust, abuse of office and conflict of interest in connection with the importation of explosives without valid permits. He was placed on police bail until February 2013 to allow further investigations to take place in the Cayman Islands and elsewhere in connection with the allegations made against him.
One week later, Cayman Islands lawmakers passed a vote of no confidence, removing Bush from office.
At a political gathering in George Town last Thursday night, Bush provided supporters with details of his arrest and the accusations against him.
According to Bush, the allegations in relation to the suspicion of theft relate to the purchase of books that were found in his home office and his paying for the pressing of clothes which he and his wife wore to the Queen's Jubilee celebrations.
"The charging on my credit card for items for breakfast and some food items in the hotels where I stayed, and at the recommendation of personnel in my office, I had authorised the purchase of some items which are used to serve coffee, tea, snacks and lunches in my home and home office," he continued.
"There were other allegations of use of my credit card in an allegation that my office had not been repaid approximately $10,000 over a period of four years," Bush said. "All of these allegations are refuted and if charges are ever brought in relation to them, they will be rigorously defended and I am confident that those charges will be unsuccessful."
Bush also spoke about the corruption-related accusations against him that involve a memorandum he sent to the collector of customs as premier and the minister of finance, along with a letter attached to the memorandum in respect of the importation of blasting materials.
He added that additional allegations have been made in respect of the ownership of the company that imported the explosives.
"I refute the allegations. I have said publicly, I have done nothing wrong [or] unlawful. When any charges are ever brought they will be rigorously defended and I am confident that these charges will be unsuccessful," Bush said.
He went on to claim that his arrest on suspicion of these offences was "carefully coordinated" and made day before he was to leave for Jamaica to receive an honorary doctorate, and was "orchestrated" to disrupt the award, as well as to "engineer" his removal as premier.
"I fully expect, as part of the orchestrated programme conducted by the governor and the commissioner of police, that I will be charged any time prior to the election, which is due to be held in May 2013. My attorneys have advised that I should say nothing further on this matter at the present time," Bush concluded.

School music tour destinations don't come much better than Iceland with its countless fascinating natural phemonena and wonderful performing venues. Ideal for school choir tours, visit the famous Blue Lagoon and the incredible geyser, Strokkur, which spouts up to 30 meters in the air every 5 to 7 minutes. Then perform to the island's appreciative audiences in some stunning and unique venues.
"A stunning destination which our students thoroughly enjoyed. They will have fabulous memories."
Peninsula: A UNESCO Geopark, our tour of this fascinating Pennisula will drive you past the Presidential residence of Bessastadir and the town of Hafnarfjörður. It will then take a coastal road to Lake Kleifarvatn, which is set in fascinating, stark, moon-like surroundings. You will see Krísuvík with its powerful jets of sulphurous steam escaping from deep below the earth's crust and innumerable small hot springs, mud pots and boiling pools. At the end of the tour you will visit Grindavik, a bustling town with a large fishing fleet.
Golden Circle Classic tour: This starts with a drive to Þingvellir, a remarkable geological site located by Lake Þingvallavatn, the largest lake on the island. There is a beautiful canyon running through the park, which is actually the meeting point of two of the earth's tectonic plates. Next see the infamous Geysir area, where you'll see one of the most active geysers in the area, Strokkur, which spouts up to 30 meters in the air every 5 to 7 minutes. The tour culminates with a visit to Gullfoss (Golden Waterfall), where you can see thousands of tons of icy water thunder majestically down into a deep gorge.
Reykjavik city tour: This tour introduces you to the world's northernmost capital. You will visit the old town centre, the Parliament, Domkirkja Cathedral and Hallgrímskirkja Church (whose steeple is a Reykjavík landmark).
The Blue Lagoon: a unique lake with pleasantly warm mineral-rich geothermal water in the middle of a black lava field where you can enjoy a sauna, steam baths and a massage waterfall.
An ideal location for choirs, you can perform in one of the island's many churches and concert halls as well as at the City Hall.
Arrive at Reykjavik airport in the afternoon and meet your guide in the arrival hall, who will take you to your private coach and drive you to your hotel. Enjoy a free evening with time to walk to town, along the sea shore. You may like to go for a swim in the nearby Laugardalslaug swimming pool.
Enjoy a morning tour of the Reykjanes Peninsula. After lunch, time for an afternoon rehearsal before your first concert in the evening at one of the capital's churches .
A day exploring the area on the Golden Circle Classic tour. This incorporates a visit to the amazing Þingvellir National park, the Geysir Hot Spring and Gullfoss. Evening concert at a local concert hall.
In the morning enjoy a guided walking tour of Reykjavik where two thirds of Iceland's population live. Afternoon free to go shopping, do some more sightseeing or go swimming. Early evening concert at the City Hall. Enjoy a quiz back at the hotel in the evening.
Check out of your hotel and enjoy a visit to the famous Blue Lagoon, a unique mineral-rich lake formed from geothermal seawater, before heading to the airport for your flight home.
You will be based at Hotel Cabin in Borgartún whose 250 rooms are all en-suite and have satellite TV. Though many of the rooms offer excellent scenic views, 27 of them have windows facing directly onto the hotel corridor. These have proved a welcome option for sleeping during the brightness of Reykjavík's long summer nights. There is a swimming pool next door and the city's main shopping area is nearby.

Since February, I've been working on a pro bono project that launched last week. What's in it for them is they got a brand new application that replaces an unwieldy bunch of paper and email-based processes. Before, they had a Web page that was protected by basic authentication and led to a set of form-to-mail scripts and downloadable Word documents. Now they have an application with real user accounts that can be carried over from year to year. There's still a lot of work to do on the administrative side of the application, but I'm quite proud of the results so far.
What's in it for me is I got to revisit Ruby on Rails after a couple of years away working primarily with Java and PHP. I also used Git, GitHub, Pivotal Tracker, and switched from TextMate to Vim for this project. The project has been very entertaining for me, aside from some stress as the release date moved closer to the early bird deadlines on some of the forms we were replacing.
I found it really easy to jump back into Rails, despite the fact that a lot of things have changed since the last time I used it. Most of the utility scripts that used to be run individually are now bundled under a single rails script, and Rails is geared much more strongly toward using resource-oriented controllers rather than developers structuring controllers in their own way, but beyond that, things are basically the same. I also found that most of the things that are different are, in fact, improved. Rails 3 handles dependencies far, far more elegantly than its predecessors did, which makes deployment much better. It's easier than it has ever been to set up deployment using Capistrano. The testing framework is more flexible and powerful.
For some time I wondered whether Rails was going to be an evolutionary dead end in terms of Web applications platforms, but I'm very impressed at where it is as a platform right now.
I used two plugins that were a huge help in terms of getting the application built. The first is the Devise plugin, which provides user registration and authentication functionality. I've been very impressed with its capabilities and ease of use. The second is CanCan, which provides a role-based authorization system that integrates nicely with Devise. The two of them saved me weeks of work.
The one big mistake I made was not taking a test-first approach to development. I had intended to, but I was in a rush and I ran into an inflector bug that caused me some grief. That bug prevented my tests from working properly, and rather than tracking down the issue, I did a bunch of development without writing accompanying tests. Now I'm backfilling the tests, which is never fun.
The organization I'm building this application for uses DreamHost for hosting, and I assumed I'd be able to use their existing hosting account to deploy this application. Unfortunately, while DreamHost does support Rails, they do not yet support Rails 3. I wound up having to deploy the application on my own slice running at Linode. I considered sites like Heroku, but they were just too expensive. I had thought we'd be closer to turnkey hosting for Rails by now, but that still appears not to be the case. On the other hand, getting the Rails application up and running from scratch on my own Linux server was simpler than it has ever been.
Rails is no longer the hot young thing that all of the developers are swooning over, but I'm finding it to be more excellent than ever. I still can't imagine building an application in PHP if Ruby on Rails is also an option. The other takeaway is that developers need to be on GitHub, period. I'm using a private repository to host this project and it's working beautifully.

As a seed stage investor, I believe I benefit from channeling enthusiasm and excitement. While it's our responsibility to be thorough and diligent in evaluating entrepreneurs and their ideas, it betrays our job to be too much the cynic or non-believer from the start. Every single company and team we meet can be picked apart in a variety of ways that ultimately would result in passing on the investment. There are always a million reasons why something won't work and many more than that at seed stage or even earlier.
When my emotional response to a first meeting is excitement, I consider that an important indication of where I've ranked a startup concept. I'd argue the genesis of the excitement is born of the right side of my brain and at the very least hasn't had a negative reaction from the left side. I will usually fixate in the immediate aftermath of the meeting, the idea-pitch-potential sitting prominently at forefront of my mind. The conflict, I've found, is in navigating how closely to check or how adamantly to follow that enthusiasm as time passes from that first meeting.
If the literal minutes after are ebullient and positive, what happens with a more gradual passing of hours, days, and inevitable distractions? Did I wake up the next morning with this company as a first thought, the way it was for 90 minutes after the previous day's meeting? Was I in a rush to tell my mom or a friend or rattle off a opus of a text message to Rob, Dave, Lee, or Jay about such a profound idea? Or has some of the veneer worn off and my enthusiasm abated? Have I lost the spark as a week has progressed and other things have crowded into my brain?
More general measuring stick then precise equation, my home-brewed emotional-reflection filter is one of many indications and data points that impact how we think about things. It may seem too simple, but the 24-hour excitement test has been a telling and intuitive resource for me. Thoughtfully unpacking that emotional response via relevant analysis is the second step in a two-step process that helps determine if we move into formal, deeper diligence with a company - inevitably our largest workload along the timeline of a decision to invest.


I started flying 3 years ago in 2010. Before I started this hobby i flew crappy little air hogs planes from toys r u, and loved them. If it wasn't for Imran Lalani i would have never known about this hobby. He told me about a "plane store" that was in front of his house and he took me there.
After that I wanted something "big" so i bought a Parkzone spitfire . well guess what..to this day i have not flown it, i'm to scared to crash so i have bought trainer planes to practice with. The spitfire has been sitting in my closet for a year ): poor little thing. SO after i bought the spitfire i bought a Art Tech Cessna 182. I love the plane, its 6 channel! (lights and flaps) I have been training on the plane to this day.
I have just bought a Eflite leader and I am currently putting it together, planning to fly it soon!!
I'm also still working on my scratch build. Just made a Hotwire cutter, Thanks for the advice Andy!
Well, that one of my 2 favorite things to do! SKIING, I LOVE SKIING I ski twice a week and started doing freestyle skiing this year. (jumps, rails, trix) I have been skiing a total of 33 times this winter and i wish i could have gone more!! I also went to whistler for a week for winter vacation! It was amazing! I skied from the peak of whistler down to the bottom once (9,500ft high) . It took me 3 hours to get down! There was so much powder up there, it was incredible and extremely hard to ski down! . My dad didn't let me go to the peak again alone because of avalanches and if i fall there wouldn't be anyone to help me, but i made the most of it and had a great time! I would consider myself as a expert, I can ski down double black diamonds with no problem at all, in fact, they are easy to me. A double black diamond is a run for experts only. Double black is the second hardest in the world, there is triple black and i hope to ski that one day! This year skiing has been amazing, the biggest jump i skied this year is a 31ft jump (31ft is how far u would fly on the jump). I tried that jump 6 times this year and failed 5/6 of those time. ): HURTSS!! I was in so much pain the next day. I landed perfectly once and the other times i either landed on my back, my shoulder or on one leg. Other then that, I can ski a 25ft jump with no problem (: .
When i'm not doing those things, i'm always out with friends! My best friend is Imran Lalani. I never like being home. I bike with my friends, hang out at the park with my friends or go shopping with them . Whenever i can, i go hang out with friends, anywhere.
Great post, but where's the pics of aeroplanes!

Q: How do I trace my python program from start of execution to finish? I have a function written in python, and I want to inspect how it runs step by step from start to finish. How do I go about doing this?
I am using PyCharm as an IDE, but I don't know if it has a tracing feature.
Any tips or resources that are newbie friendly on this issue?
Thanks very much in advance!

A: What you're looking for is a profiler. Luckily, PyCharm is really powerful and comes with a wealth of debugging/profiling tools.

A: If you're running your code within PyCharm, simply set a breakpoint on the first line within the function you wish to examine, then step through it using their interface.
If you're running your code via the commandline, I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with Python's debugging module, pdb. All you need to do to examine your function is temporarily add the line:
import pdb;pdb.set_trace()

.. as the first line of your function. When you run it and it hits this line, you can step through the execution on the commandline using simple directives like 'n' for next line.

The recently minted Duke and Duchess of Sussex are finally back to work after their honeymoon. Fans of the royal family are still quite disappointed that the couple kept the location and details of their time away a secret.
Already the duo is diving straight into their busy schedule.
The couple was present at the Trooping the Colour celebration on Saturday. Despite the calm outward appearance of the duchess, lip readers have revealed that she was not all put-together.
According to Mirror, the duchess was uncomfortable standing almost behind the Duchess of Cambridge. Prince Harry later leaned in and this exchange ensued.
"Yeah, are you?", she asked in response.
In another snippet of conversation interpreted by the lip reader, it seems the duchess was asking questions about upcoming activities at the parade to which Prince Harry responded, "Errr. When you get into it I'll tell you more later." According to the lip reader, she flat out said she was "nervous!".
We may count it off to a case of the nerves, and the duchess may provide some explanation for it in the future. For the time being, Prince Harry seems to be in particularly good spirits, and there is little wonder why.
During the charity event at the palace, he even got a couple of laughs in when William teased him about his ginger hair and referred to him as a "newlywed".
He's just back from honeymoon and it seemed like he was still on cloud nine. You can just tell when someone's really laid back and relaxed and content with life, that was the vibe he was giving off. He had enough time for everybody and was in such a great mood.

Take My Nose... Please!
"Take My Nose … Please!" is a lively and enjoyable documentary about comedians, plastic surgery, female self-image, aging in Hollywood, and other facets of facial politics."
Major Press Coverage Including:
Director: Joan Kron
Pre-book: 2/13/2018
Street: 3/13/2018
GENRES: Documentary, Comedy
SYNOPSIS:A wickedly subversive look at the role of comedy in exposing the pressures on women to be attractive and society's ambivalence toward cosmetic surgery. The film follows Jackie Hoffman, an award-winning comic actress, known for her self- deprecating humor, and Emily Askin, an up-and-coming improv performer, as they contemplate the possible impact of surgery on their careers, relationships and self-regard. Interwoven with their profoundly moving stories are those of comedy icons, from funny-lady Fanny Brice (Ziegfield Follies), who went public in 1923 with her nose revision, to ground-breaking comediennes who have spoken honestly about their surgical makeovers. These dames have been unashamed to talk about their perceived flaws and shortcomings--and the steps taken to improve them. For them, plastic surgery isn't just vanity -- it's affirmative action to compensate for the inequitable distribution of youthfulness and beauty. While their sisters in drama remain steadfastly silent, funny women disregard the taboos and brave the ridicule to speak to women in their audiences who feel the same pressures, giving them permission to pursue improvements (or reasons to hold out), and absolving them of guilt and shame


At both Animal Care Center and Pet Care Center we offer bathing, dipping, and professional grooming for both your dogs and cats. Grooming is available at Animal Care Center (Hammond) on Wednesdays and at Pet Care Center (Ponchatoula) on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Appointments are needed for grooming, so contact us today!
I have taken several of my pets to Connie and Peter at Animal Care Center and Pet Care Center since they have been grooming there and have always been thrilled with them. When my 13 year old Shi Tzu developed Cushing's Disease, her coat looked awful no matter how often I bathed her. Connie said, "I can help with that. You might not like it, but I can help." Well, I never have determined what she meant by "not liking" the results, but Mauvais (Cajun for bad) was even cuter and prissier than ever!
I have a cat whose coat requires not just clipping but also bathing. Most cats would be highly indignant and angry particularly about the bath but not when Connie and Peter groom her. They don't have to sedate her or the other cat I have them groom and both cats are so proud of their new "do's"! You would expect them to hiss and spit and hide for a month but, like the 2 dogs I have groomed there, they are so happy and prissy and are just big showoffs and are so proud of themselves!

I think it's amazing that the Einstein quote is so well-known, so far off, and in fact derived from a quote Einstein made, and then disagreed with! His own opinion is definitely not represented in the quote, at least by my interpretation (and Stephen Hawking's, lol). If I understand what you're saying, Charles, it's that Einstein considered rules as temporary tools for achieving results in physics, not as statements of the nature of things. I wonder how he saw his own findings, then.
am going to watch out for brussels. I will appreciate if you continue this in future.


We have all heard the age-old advice – be sure to eat plenty of bananas to get your potassium. Well what exactly do we need potassium for, and are bananas the best place to get it?
Potassium is a mineral electrolyte that the body needs in order to function properly.
This mineral is important in both how well we perform when we go to the gym as well as how well we heal afterwards. It is involved in nerve firing and muscle contraction, building the proteins that form our muscles, breaking down and using carbohydrates from our food and building bones.
Potassium's benefits are not only confined to the gym, but also our daily health and energy. It helps to regulate and lower blood pressure, maintain a healthy acid-base balance in our bodies and is involved in heart health in the form of electrical activity.
How can you tell if you may not be consuming enough potassium?
A common symptom that many of us have likely experienced are muscle cramps and weakness, especially when pushing our muscles during an intense workout.
In 2005, the Journal of Athletic Training conducted a study where physically active individuals with a history of exercise-associated muscle cramps performed a calf-fatiguing exercise under 2 conditions: one without fluids and one with a carbohydrate-electrolyte beverage that included potassium as one of the electrolytes. The subjects with the carbohydrate-electrolyte trial who experienced cramping worked out for over twice as long before experiencing muscle cramps, demonstrating the importance of hydration and electrolytes on muscle fatigue.
So if you stay hydrated with an appropriate electrolyte balance, including plenty of potassium, you will be able to work out harder, longer.
There are other symptoms that you could experience, including fatigue, increased blood pressure and abnormal heart rhythms when you have too little potassium in your diet.
We all need to keep our mental and physical energy at the best it can be to push as hard as we must throughout the day, so how can we be sure to get enough potassium? Don't go running to the supermarket to purchase bushels of bananas just yet – there are foods that contain even more potassium than bananas.
All beans contain large amounts of potassium, from 15% to about 35% of the daily value of potassium in one cup.
An easy and satisfying way to get this is from chili! Make your own homemade chili loaded with beans and whatever meats or vegetables you like over the weekend, and you can freeze it in containers to use throughout the week and send with your family for lunches.
Dark, leafy greens are packed full of potassium, along with other beneficial vitamins and minerals. Spinach comes in at a shocking 24% of your daily value in one serving, with swiss chard coming in at 27%.
You don't have to eat salads to get plenty of greens; saute greens to go with dinner. Throw in some garlic for flavor and use coconut oil as the base, then add in some pink Himalayan sea salt and pepper to taste. You can even add some spinach to eggs, soups, or even the chili mentioned above.
Squash can range from 10% to 26% of the daily value of potassium in one cup of cubed squash. Acorn squash is the highest at 26% DV.
Many people look at a squash and think that it looks a bit difficult to prepare, but it is actually extremely easy! Squash has both a savory and mildly sweet taste without adding anything to it, so it is hard to mess up squash.
Option 1: Preheat oven to 350. Cut in half and remove seeds. Place cut-side down in a pan for 30 minutes, turn over and season (grass-fed, organic butter or olive oil, sprinkle with salt/pepper/cinnamon/brown sugar) and cook for 20 more minutes.
Option 2: You can microwave squash if in a rush! Cut in half and remove seeds, place cut side down on a piece of microwave safe plastic wrap on a plate and microwave for about 5-7 minutes, or until soft (if doing the whole squash this can take closer to 10-12 minutes). Once soft, flip over and season to taste.
Avocados are a great staple to have in your diet. Full of healthy fats and vitamins, avocados provide over twice as much potassium than one banana, with a whopping 26% DV in one avocado.
A great snack for a couple of hours before your workout, avocados provide stable energy while also giving your body the potassium that it needs.
It might surprise you to find out that white mushroom have 12% of your DV of potassium in 1 cup of sliced mushrooms, with other mushrooms providing about 5-10%.
Mushrooms do not get the attention that they deserve in the health space. They are chalked full of potassium, iron, vitamin D and many other crucial nutrients. These low calorie foods are easy to add to many dishes, such as chili, soup and eggs, and even stand well on their own as a replacement burger or stuffed with other goodies.
It is best if possible to get the potassium that you need from your diet, but if you believe you may have low potassium levels it could be a good idea to supplement. There are some people who have conditions that may cause malabsorption of potassium, including conditions that cause chronic diarrhea and laxative use.
If you think you have low levels of potassium, it is best to work with a doctor to determine what kind and quantity of supplements to take. Additionally, prescription supplements may be cheaper in some cases, so if there is a medical condition a doctor can be extremely beneficial.
Potassium chloride supplements are available in extended-release tablets and have more potassium than potassium gluconate supplements. This allows for your body to absorb the potassium slowly, in consistent levels and is helpful when the overall levels in the body are low.
There are dangers to ingesting excess potassium, such as abnormal and dangerous heart rhythms, so be sure not to take too much supplementation in addition to your dietary potassium. For those over 19 years of age the suggested quantity is 4.7 g/day, but is less for younger individuals. You will also need slightly more if you are working out regularly.

Despite 40 Shots, Phantoms Edged by Bridgeport 3-2
Home Point Streak Capped at 12 Straight Games for Lehigh Valley
Lehigh Valley, Pa. – The Lehigh Valley Phantoms fired 40 shots on goal Friday evening, including 20 in the third period, but the Bridgeport Sound Tigers were able to hang on for a 3-2 win in front of 7,451 fans inside PPL Center.
Despite Friday's outcome, the Phantoms have still won 11 of their last 14 games (11-2-1) and 17 of 23 decisions overall (17-4-2). What's more, Lehigh Valley remains in sole possession of first place in the Atlantic Division and continues to lead all AHL clubs with 83 standings points.
Friday's decision capped the Phantoms' recent home point streak at 12 straight games (10-0-2). Still, since January 13, Lehigh Valley has been scorching hot at PPL Center having claimed 22 of a possible 26 standings points across its last 13 games in downtown Allentown. Overall this season, the Phantoms are an impressive 20-6-3-2 at PPL Center.
Greg Carey (24th) and Tyrell Goulbourne (8th) provided the offense for Lehigh Valley on Friday in front of goaltender Dustin Tokarski who turned in a strong 30-save performance. Carey's goal was his team-leading 24th conversion this year and was part of his seventh multi-point outing this season as the 27-year-old winger buried a goal and an assist.
Phil Varone also registered a multi-point effort as he chipped in a pair of assists in increasing his league-leading point total to a robust 59 total points (18 goals, 41 assists). Varone's effort on Friday was his 13th multi-point game this season as he moved into second place among all AHL skaters with 41 assists this year.
Friday's showdown marked the sixth of eight total meetings this season between Lehigh Valley and Bridgeport as the Phantoms are now 5-1 against their Atlantic Division rivals.
After a scoreless opening period, Bridgeport broke the deadlock early in the second stanza when Travis St. Denis slipped a pass into the crease that inadvertently deflected off a Lehigh Valley stick before rolling across the goal line for St. Denis' 16th goal this season. Kyle Burroughs and Parker Wotherspoon assisted on the even-strength strike netted just 10 seconds into the second period.
The Phantoms responded quickly though and leveled the contest just over a minute later when Phil Varone fed a perfect cross-ice pass to Goulbourne who promptly converted his eighth goal of the year. Greg Carey collected the secondary helper on the five-on-five tally scored 1:11 into the middle stanza.
The Sound Tigers regained the lead just past the midway point of the second period when, while on the power play, Andre Benoit's shot from the left point was expertly deflected atop the goal crease by Steve Bernier for his 14th goal of the season. Benoit and Casey Bailey assisted on the man-advantage marker converted 11:10 into the middle frame as the Phantoms allowed a power play goal against for just the second time over the last eight games.
Bridgeport swelled its lead to a 3-1 advantage just over two minutes later when Wotherspoon's wrist shot from the left point inadvertently deflected off a Phantoms' stick en route before slipping into the back of the Lehigh Valley cage. Kellen Jones and Josh Holmsrom assisted on Wotherspoon's sixth goal of the year, which came 13:13 into the middle stanza.
The Phantoms sliced the Sound Tigers' lead in half less than five minutes into the finale frame when Varone's shot from the right wing produced a rebound atop the goal crease where Carey promptly slammed home his team-leading 24th tally this season. Alex Krushelnyski collected the secondary assist on the five-on-five tally converted 4:38 into the third period.
The Phantoms are back in action on Saturday when they head to Bridgeport for a rematch with the Sound Tigers. Lehigh Valley then caps this week's action on Sunday when the team returns home for a 5:05 p.m. clash with the Binghamton Devils inside PPL Center. Sunday's game features a Pail & Shovel Giveaway free to the first 2,000 kids 14 and under presented by PALCS.

Leaked U.S. government files suggest Deutsche Bank tops list of suspicious transactions

SINGAPORE — Germany's largest lender Deutsche Bank appears to have facilitated more than half of the leaked $2 trillion of suspicious transactions that were flagged to the U.S. government over nearly two decades, reported German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW).
Those documents showed that between 1999 and 2017, $1.3 trillion of $2 trillion in leaked transactions that were flagged as suspicious passed through Deutsche Bank, according to the DW report.
The leaked documents contained suspicious activity reports that banks and other financial institutions filed with the U.S. Department of Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, or FinCEN. Financial firms are required by law to alert regulators when they detect activities that may be suspicious, such as money laundering or sanctions violations. Such reports are not necessarily evidence of any criminal conduct.
In a statement posted on its website, the German bank said the incidents in the leaked documents "have already been investigated and led to regulatory resolutions in which the bank's cooperation and remediation was publicly recognized. Where necessary and appropriate, consequence management was applied."
It also said that it has "devoted significant resources to strengthening our controls" and "are very focused on meeting our responsibilities and obligations."
Deutsche Bank has previously been found to facilitate financial transactions that violate U.S. sanctions. In 2015, Deutsche Bank agreed to pay fines worth $258 million for doing business with U.S.-sanctioned countries including Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan and Myanmar, according to DW. But the leaked FinCEN documents suggested that the bank had continued to move suspicious funds after that 2015 settlement, the report said.
