La Guerra entre Perú y Bolivia, denominada también como Guerra peruano-boliviana o segunda invasión peruana a Bolivia, fue un enfrentamiento bélico entre Perú y Bolivia en los años 1841 y 1842.

En 1841, Agustín Gamarra, presidente del Perú, intenta anexar Bolivia (la ex Audiencia de Charcas colonial), lo que costó la vida al presidente peruano el 18 de noviembre de 1841. El Ejército de Bolivia, al mando del general José Ballivián, ocupó las provincias peruanas de Moquegua, Puno, Tarapacá, Tacna y Arica.

El desalojo de las tropas bolivianas en el sur del Perú se lograría por la mayor disponibilidad de recursos materiales y humanos del Perú. Al final de la contienda se firma el Tratado de Puno el 7 de junio de 1842.

Antecedentes
Después de la estrepitosa caída de la Confederación Perú-Boliviana en 1839, el Presidente del Perú Agustín Gamarra quería evitar a toda costa que el mariscal boliviano Andrés de Santa Cruz retorne nuevamente a Bolivia y retome el poder, pues veía que Santa Cruz era un peligro para la existencia misma del Perú. Entonces decide tomar contacto con el general boliviano José Ballivián que en ese momento se encontraba viviendo en la ciudad de Puno en el Departamento de Puno.

Cabe mencionar que José Ballivián era muy amigo de Agustín Gamarra desde hace muchos años y también compartían las mismas ideas, pues ambos rechazaban rotundamente el retorno de Santa Cruz a Bolivia. Después de la caída de la confederación, en Bolivia había tomado el poder el general cruceño José Miguel de Velasco convirtiéndose de esa manera en el nuevo Presidente de Bolivia. En un principio, José Ballivián lo apoya pero luego se molesta con él al no ser elegido como Vicepresidente de Bolivia, entonces Ballivián decide realizar un levantamiento militar contra el gobierno de Velasco para derrocarlo del poder, pero no tiene éxito ya que su revuelta es aplastada por el Ejército de Bolivia.

Luego de que su levantamiento fuera desbaratado y para salvar su vida, Ballivián decide entonces salir de Bolivia el 13 de julio de 1839 para autoexiliarse en el Perú. Pero Ballivián no fue a la ciudad de Lima ya que no quería estar muy lejos de su patria y por eso decide entonces elegir a la ciudad de Puno (muy cerca a Bolivia) como su exilio en donde viviría por alrededor de dos años hasta septiembre de 1841. Mientras tanto el Presidente del Perú Agustín Gamarra estando ya muy susceptible de una inminente llegada de Andrés de Santa Cruz a Bolivia, decide tomar contacto con el general Ballivián que en ese momento se encontraba viviendo en territorio peruano y ambos quedan de acuerdo que con ayuda del ejército peruano, Ballivián tomaría el poder en Bolivia.

En 1841, en Bolivia se vivía una total anarquía y caos ya que existían tres gobiernos. Gamarra entonces decide aprovechar la situación de crisis política boliviana y ordena al Ejército del Perú que empiece a concentrar todas las tropas en la ciudad de Puno con la intención de invadir Bolivia.

Retorno de Ballivián a Bolivia

Pero cabe mencionar que Gamarra empezó a desconfiar de Ballivián y lo manda a apresar, pero en cambio, Ballivián que en ese momento se encontraba en territorio peruano, presenciando la gran cantidad de tropas que se concentraban en Puno y enterado de los planes de Gamarra de querer arrestarlo, entonces logra escapar exitosamente de Perú antes de ser aprehendido. El 22 de septiembre de 1841, Ballivián ingresa a territorio boliviano después de haber estado viviendo por dos años en territorio peruano desde 1839. Cinco días después y estando en la milenaria población de Tiahuanaco, Ballivián junto a algunos de sus seguidores más, se autoproclama como el nuevo Presidente de Bolivia el 27 de septiembre de 1841. Ante la inminente invasión peruana a Bolivia, la opinión pública boliviana de esa época empezó a ver Ballivián como "El Salvador" de Bolivia y todo el país se unió en torno a su figura.

Invasión peruana a Bolivia

Ocupación peruana de La Paz

Las tropas peruanas dirigidas por el presidente Gamarra iniciaron la marcha hacia Bolivia el 1 de octubre de 1841, cruzando la frontera al día siguiente. Luego de avanzar sin encontrar resistencia, el 15 de octubre entraron a La Paz sin combatir, pero el manifiesto de Ballivián para oponerse a los invasores pronto tuvo acogida.

El 21 de octubre, en el pueblo de Mecapaca, ocurrió el combate de Mecapaca donde hubo un encuentro entre las fuerzas peruanas y bolivianas, al ser ocupado ese pueblo por una columna peruana al mando del coronel San Román, que luego fue atacado por el Batallón N° 5 y un destacamento de coraceros. Los peruanos, tomados por sorpresa, se rehicieron y obligaron a sus enemigos retirarse en desorden.

Batalla de Ingavi

La batalla de Ingavi acaeció el 18 de noviembre de 1841 en la localidad de Viacha, provincia de Ingavi, Bolivia. Allí se enfrentaron tropas bolivianas al mando de José Ballivián con tropas peruanas al mando de Agustín Gamarra, venciendo las tropas bolivianas, matando al general Gamarra.

La victoria del Ejército peruano no fue suficiente para hacer retroceder al ejército boliviano dando la a Ballivián y al Ejército boliviano la oportunidad de contraatacar e invadir territorio peruano, acercándose al Cuzco y amenazando con buscar la anexión del puerto de Arica. Las tropas bolivianas ocuparon las provincias de Tacna, Arica y Tarapacá.

Invasión boliviana al Perú

Ocupación boliviana de Moquegua, Puno y Tarapacá

A fines de 1841, después de la batalla de Ingavi, tropas de la Segunda División boliviana al mando del general José Ballivián ocupan el Perú desde Moquegua hasta Tarapacá. Se abren entonces diversos frentes de lucha en el sur peruano.

El 9 de diciembre de 1841, un regimiento al mando del coronel Rodríguez Magariños ocupa Tacna, otro al mando del coronel Bernardo Rojas ocupan Arica, y otra al mando del coronel José María García ocupan Tarapacá, mientras las fuerzas de José Ballivián ocupan Moquegua y Puno.

Resistencia y contraataque peruano
El coronel Manuel de Mendiburu, quien era comandante militar del Sur, retorna de Lima para organizar la resistencia peruana.

Con ello el ariqueño Juan Bautista Ramos, mayor del Ejército del Perú, organiza una guerrilla con los vecinos de Azapa donde se enfrentan y derrotan a las fuerzas bolivianas de Bernardo Rojas en Arica el 25 de diciembre de 1841. En Sama, el coronel tacneño José María Lavayén organiza una tropa que logra derrotar a las fuerzas bolivianas del coronel Rodríguez Magariños. En Locumba, el coronel Manuel de Mendiburu también organiza fuerzas entre quienes se encontraba Justo Arias y Aragüez en 1842.

También José Rosa Ara organiza en Tacna una columna entre soldados y campesinos peruanos y en la batalla de los Altos de Chipe (Locumba) derrotan a un regimiento boliviano.

El Ejército boliviano no contaba con tropas suficientes para mantener la ocupación. En la batalla de Tarapacá, montoneros peruanos formados por el mayor Juan Buendía, provenientes de Iquique, derrotaron el 7 de enero de 1842 al destacamento dirigido por el coronel José María García, quien muere en el enfrentamiento. Así, las tropas bolivianas desocupan Tacna, Arica y Tarapacá en febrero de 1842, replegándose hacia Moquegua y Puno.

Los combates de Motoni y Orurillo desalojan e inician posteriormente la retirada de las fuerzas bolivianas que ocuparon territorio peruano, amenazando nuevamente a Bolivia de sufrir una invasión.

Epílogo
Los milicias bolivianas organizadas en Huarina (16 de noviembre de 1841) y Tiquina (17 de noviembre de 1841) tratan de desgastar a la caballería e infantería proveniente de Chucuito y Huancané (con órdenes de reforzar y llevar provisiones a Gamarra); la consecuente victoria de José Ballivián en la Batalla de Ingavi y el fallecimiento (in situ) del presidente peruano Agustín Gamarra; permitieron la posterior ocupación de Puno, Tacna y Arica (entre el 9 de diciembre de 1841 y el 7 de enero del siguiente año). Aunque (por falta de recursos humanos y económicos) la ocupación boliviana en el sur del Perú se debilitó, padeciendo en los posteriores combates de Arica, Sama, Altos del Chipe, Tarapacá, Motoni y Orurillo.

Se puede determinar que de las 8 batallas y combates como el Combate de Mecapaca, batalla de Ingavi, combate de Arica, combate de Sama, Batalla de los Altos de Chipe, combate de Tarapacá (1842), combate de Motoni y el combate de Orurillo las fuerzas peruanas obtuvieron 7 victorias sobre Bolivia en el campo de batalla, la única derrota fue en la batalla de Ingavi, a esto se suma que el puerto de Arica no pudo ser anexionado a Bolivia. Por lo tanto se podría acreditar que el Perú salió más favorecido en dicho conflicto.

Al final de la contienda se firma el Tratado de Puno el 7 de junio de 1842. Sin embargo, el clima de tensión entre Lima y La Paz seguiría latente hasta 1847, año en que se hace efectiva la firma de un Tratado de Paz y Comercio. Las disensiones fronterizas entre Bolivia y Perú continuarían hasta la firma del Tratado Polo-Bustamante 1909.

Strangely, given I'm making this recipe, I'm not the greatest fan of Creme Eggs. So I used 3 Creme Eggs and 3 Caramel Eggs. I'm happy to report that the Caramel Eggs worked fine in this recipe, so any chocolate egg roughly the size of a Cadbury Creme Egg should also be ok. Good news if you're somewhere where Creme Eggs aren't sold/are scarce!
Put six cupcake cases in a muffin or cupcake baking tray. Preheat your oven to 180 degrees C (160 fan)/ 350 degrees F/ Gas Mark 4.
Put the broken chocolate into a large microwaveable bowl. Heat for two, 30-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between bursts. Add the butter and water to the chocolate. Heat for another 30 seconds. Stir until all the chocolate and butter has melted and you have a smooth mixture. You might need to give the mixture another 30 seconds in the microwave.
To this smooth chocolate mixture, add the sugar, egg and vanilla. Stir through again until smooth.
and stir gently until the ingredients have all combined, making sure there are no sneaky pockets of flour lurking at the bottom of the bowl.
Spoon a large dessertspoonful of chocolate mixture into each cupcake case.
Put a creme egg/ chocolate egg of your choice into each cupcake case and push into the mixture so it's standing in the middle of the case.
Put another dessertspoonful of chocolate mixture on top of each of the eggs and use the back of the spoon to spread the mixture to cover the top of the creme egg.
Bake for approximately 20 minutes. Shake the tray slightly. If the cupcakes wobble, they need another couple of minutes in the oven.
Leave your creme egg chocolate cupcakes in the baking tin to cool.
At this point the original recipe advocates decorating with whipped cream, caramel sauce and mini eggs – but I think that's overkill!

OMG 😲 😍 🍫 😋 drooling here!!!
Haha! They were very very very nice! 🙂 I think this is one that would go down well with almost everyone!
Wow I want them now!!!!
They're very quick to make 🙂 It's worth it too because they were delicious!
Thank you! They were delicious. I preferred the caramel eggs, but I liked the creme egg a lot more than usual when it was like this!
That is the best thing to do. Make a batch, but make sure you have lots of people to eat most of it 🙂 I was very glad to be able to share them with friends or I would have eaten them all!!
This is an interesting idea I would not have thought of, Claire.
Easter is my favourite time of year for baking because of creme eggs. I usually make creme egg fudge, I will be making this too this year. Thank you Claire.
OMG!!! Cadbury Creme Eggs are my FAVORITE candy EVER!!! I might just have to make this one. Your post is making me crave them in a major way!
These look incredible and so delicious!!
These look delicious! I'll need to hunt for a creme egg replacement but I see a lot of possibilities there. The caramel version sounds like heaven!
They're delicious – I hope they turn out well for you.
This looks absolutely decedent. Yum!
Thank you 🙂 They were delicious, although I do prefer the caramel to the creme eggs!


The setting: The CanJam tent at the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2016.
"Have you heard Audeze's new planar magnetic headphones?" blurted an excited friend and colleague from Head-Fi. "They're in-ears, if you can believe that!" In order to understand my colleague's self-evident wonderment, it helps to know that Audeze built its entire reputation by building high-performance, full-size planar magnetic headphones. First came the premium-priced LCD-series models, then the mid‑priced EL-8 models, and finally the affordable Sine-series headphones—all of them full-size models. What no one saw coming was a family of compact, full-range planar magnetic universal-fit earphones.
Full of curiosity, I headed straight over to the Audeze demo station where I discovered the firm's all-new iSINE-series planar magnetic earphones, which looked and sounded very distinctive indeed. There are three models in the iSINE range: the virtual-reality system-orientated iSINEVR ($399), the iSINE10 (£349), and the top-of-the-range iSINE20 (£549), which is the subject of this review. Interestingly, both the iSINE10 and iSINE20 earphones can be ordered either with standard signal cables or in special bundles that also include the Audeze's iPod/iPhone/iPad-compatible CIPHER cable with a compact, built-in DAC/amp/DSP module (for a £50 upcharge). Our review sample iSINE20 included the CIPHER cable, whose benefits we will discuss in a moment.
As I mentioned above the iSINE20 does not fit within the wearer's outer ears, but rather is worn alongside the ears, with mesh vents facing outwards, and with rear-mounted, tapered sound outlet tubes facing inwards and extending into the wearer's ear canals. The earpieces are very light (about 11g per side, without cables) and are designed to be held in position either by sets of plastic ear hooks or by in-ear 'earlocks'—both of which ship with the iSINEs. From the wearer's point of view the sensation is that the iSINEs are 'floating' in close proximity to one's ears, but with light-fitting and comfortable sound outlet tubes directing music into the ear canals. The sound outlet tubes are fitted with silicone ear tips as with conventional earphones, but the 'feel' of the iSINE20 is considerably different—with a noticeably lighter fit and lower backpressure within the ear canals.
The iSINE20's feature 30mm planar magnetic drivers that leverage three technologies drawn from Audeze's full-size models: namely, Fluxor magnet arrays, Uniforce voice-coils, and Fazor-type waveform control elements. Fluxor magnets use high-grade Neodymium materials to create powerful, tightly focused magnetic flux fields within the driver, reducing weight while increasing efficiency. Uniforce voice-coils use distinctive variable trace widths to equalize drive forces across the working surface of the planar diaphragms. One differentiator between the iSINE10 and the iSINE20 is that the latter features "an even longer Uniforce voice-coil that covers the ultra-thin diaphragm to a greater extent, enabling better control and responsiveness." Fazor elements act as waveguides with sonic benefits said to include extended high-frequency response, "better phase response, and lower distortion resulting in enhanced imaging." Finally, the iSINE20 features light, responsive 'nano-scale diaphragms' made of a film-type aerospace material thinner than a human hair.

ww2dbaseUSS Capitaine was commissioned into service in Jan 1945 with Lieutenant Commander E. S. Friedrick in command. Arriving in US Territory of Hawaii in Apr 1945, she embarked on her first war patrol in the following month, sinking one small craft, Bandai Maru, in the Java Sea. Although she would embark on a second war patrol, the Pacific War would end before she could score a second sinking. She returned to the US in Sep 1945. Between Jan and Mar 1946, she conducted training in Philippine waters, followed by simulated war patrols in 1947 and 1948. She was placed in reserve at Mare Island Navy Yard in Vallejo, California, United States in 1950. She returned to service between 1957 and 1966, serving on the west coast of the United States and in Japan; in 1964, she took part in the filming of the movie "In Harm's Way". On 4 Mar 1966, she was decommissioned from US Navy service, and on the following day she was transferred on loan to Italy. Recommissioned as Alfredo Cappellini (S-507), she would serve in the Italian Navy until 1977, when she was scrapped.

Jim Jarmusch's breakthrough 1984 film, Stranger Than Paradise, a substantial commercial success at the time (grossing $2.5 million on a budget of just over $100,000), follows three meandering individuals — New York hipster Willie (John Lurie), his 16-year-old Hungarian cousin (Eszter Balint), and his gambling pal (Richard Edson) — as they stumble their way through America. The movie, as is customary with Jarmusch, is structured as a series of vignettes: There are three primary locations (New York, Cleveland, Florida), three distinct narrative sections (each one delineated with its own title), and every scene in the film is a single take, followed by a fade to black. A formative merging of European flavors and familiar New Hollywood material, Stranger Than Paradise has remained one of the most influential American indies of its decade.

R E T R O T R A V E L - Your travel partner in Transylvania!
All the Romanians are carrying on their back a terrible weight.
The 45 years of the Romanian Communism changed our country dramatically - hundreds of thousands of people had been imprisoned and many of them killed by Securitate - the armed force of the Romanian Communist Party, under the direct supervision of the Soviet occupation regime. From Sighet to Periprava, from Jilava to Ramnicu Sarat, the Communist repression manage to fill the prisons and the labour camps with political prisoners and to establish a "brighter" regime based on terror and oppression.
Having less than 1000 party members in 1944, The Romanian Communist Party, based on the second world war evolution and along with the USSR army set in Romania, managed to reach power after they won the 1946 fake elections.
Soon afterwards, the Romanian Communist Party became the only political party accepted in the country, people having a "unhealthy origin", i.e. non-communist political party members, priests, intellectuals, rich peasants, and many other figures who didn't match the "labor class portrait", lost their position, freedom or life.
The huge mechanism of people's brain washing turned on its engine.
The NEW MAN, as postulated by the Communist ideologists, was born.
Our travel agency is offering you a specialized tour on the Romanian communist regime, the 1989 revolution / coup d'état, the Ceausescu's "trial" and execution on 1989, Day of Christmas.
the second largest building in the world - the very symbol of the Romanian totalitarism, then to Targoviste - the garrison where Ceausescu's couple received his death penalty and got executed. Optionally a day tour can be organized to Jilava prison and Pitesti prison - two of the most terrifying extermination prisons in Romania.
Among the people who will give their best for you to have a perfect staying: Dorin Marian Carlan - your guide at Ceausescu's execution place in Targoviste, one of the three officers who followed the order to shoot Ceausescu and his wife, prof. Ioan Scurtu a recent history professor, who will lead a seminar on Romanian communism, Mr. Dan Voinea - r. general, prosecutor during Ceasusescu's trial and Mr. Doru Maries - Romanian revolutionary in 1989, President of the Association December 21st, they'll both share their perspectives on Romanian communism before and after 1989.
We like to believe that the days you are going to spend in Romania will help understand more about the Communist repression and both about the Romanian national destiny.
The tour will follow Ceausescu's itinerary after leaving the Communist Party's Central Comitee to Snagov, being knaped first by the police officers and then transported to Targoviste Garrison. Here Mr. Carlan - one of the officers who shot Ceausescu's couple in December 1989 will lead the tour and give all the details.
Feel free to contact us for the rates and more infos on this tour!
The programs are flexible according to your time of departure, the weather conditions and nevertheless, your own proposals.


Definition - What does Multicast mean?
Multicast is a communication method and data delivery scheme in which a single source sends the same data to multiple receivers simultaneously. It is similar to broadcasting but more secure because it has an added bonus of receiver discretion, where the data is received by specific users or hosts.
The multicast process involves a single sender and multiple receivers. versus systems that are designed to be connection-dependent, like a client-server system. User datagram protocol (UDP) is the most common protocol used with multicasting.
Email is the best example of multicast, where a user can choose to send mail to many different addresses, rather than a complete contact list. Another example is the one-to-many multicasting of a streaming video toward many users from a single server. Another good example is Internet protocol (IP) multicasting, where network nodes, like switches and routers, handle data packet replication through multicast groups.
Non-IP based multicast implementations include Internet Relay Chat (IRC), which is well scaled for large numbers of small groups.

Ernst, Batavia take UEC individual team titles
By Dave Oberhelman
doberhelman@dailyherald.com
Updated 10/18/2014 10:26 PM
St. Charles North's Audrey Ernst crossed the finish line at the Upstate Eight Conference cross country meet, then turned to congratulate her competitors running through the chute.
There were plenty to congratulate because the slightly built, blonde-haired freshman won the meet on Saturday. Ernst outdueled familiar foe Gabby Juarez of Streamwood by .6 seconds, winning in 17 minutes, 31.1 seconds on the undulating three-mile course at Lords Park in Elgin.
"Oh, my God, this is just so crazy for me. I can't even believe it, I am just ecstatic," exclaimed Ernst, who sprinted to the lead from the start, heading a front pack of Juarez, third-place finisher McKenzie Altmayer of Geneva and fourth-place Torree Scull of St. Charles East.
"All the girls out here are so fast, it was probably the toughest race I've ever run. They're just pushing the whole time," said Ernst, who defeated Juarez in her first invite of the season also at Lords Park, Sept. 2 at the Elgin City Classic.
Ernst knew she had a slim margin of error against a field of fast closers. Her explosive start and another push midway through the race gave her an edge.
"I was out in front and then they caught me at the end of the first pack," the freshman said. "We were all in a pack. I really couldn't see who was around me but I could feel them around me. The second lap I tried to push it forward and tried to spread out a gap so I had a little bit of breathing room for the end because I know they have really fast sprints. I think that's what really helped me."
Altmayer, unintentionally spiked on the right knee while trying to avoid a raised drain cover about 200 yards from the start, won the meet as a sophomore with a time 15 seconds slower than Saturday, according to Dyestat.com.
"Last year was a really slow year just all around," said the Geneva junior. "So I won it in a really slow time and I knew this year would be hard to keep the title, and I knew I just wanted to go out, run a good race, figure out how the scores worked. I was happy with it."
Batavia junior Dakota Roman and freshman Emma Stephens finished sixth and seventh overall, respectively, behind Geneva sophomore Emma Ehrhardt. Yet the gap from Batavia's first finisher to its last was a mere 36.5 seconds, good for the UEC River Division title,
"Well, it's been since 2006 since we've done that so it feels pretty darn good," said Bulldogs coach Chad Hillman. "Especially, and I don't mean this in a terrible way at all but beating Geneva -- in the sense of a compliment to them because they're so tough at this time of year and they've been so good for such a long time -- is a very big accomplishment."
St. Charles East used depth to defeat Batavia for the boys River title, an identical finish from 2013. Though Batavia senior Ryan Wieties won the individual River title in 15:18.7, one place ahead of Saints junior Mark Sciurba, St. Charles East's fifth runner finished ahead of his Batavia counterpart.
"It was a total team effort," said Saints coach Chris Bosworth. "If you look at Batavia's four versus our four we're tied, and it was Michael Gerkin coming back. He hasn't raced in a month. He's finally healthy."
Also healthy was Neuqua Valley junior Connor Horn, who missed last year's UEC meet with a stress fracture. Saturday he held off West Aurora junior Connor McCue, using a pivotal uphill burst to gap McCue, winning in 15:02.7 to help deliver Neuqua its ninth straight title whether in the Valley Division or a unified Upstate Eight.
"I'm extremely happy," McCue said. "Obviously the win would have been nice, but there's no shame in second place."


There are some Moodlemoots coming up in the next two months around the globe.
Moodle Moots are always a good place for sharing good practice in teaching, course design, administration and development.
We have just released a new book with Packt Publishing called Moodle Administration Essentials.
When training new organisations on Moodle administration, our approach has been to focus on just the tasks that they need to get up and running and this book covers those essential areas.
There is going to be a Moodle Working Group full day session on the Monday of the Moodlemoot in Dublin on May 11th.
Working groups will bring together end-users who are interested in working together to make Moodle better. A working group is not the same as a workshop. Working groups actively involve experienced Moodle users who have an interest in improving Moodle for the community. Working groups should generally have no more than 10 participants to allow each member to contribute. There are likely to be one or two working groups at the Moodlemoot.
Earlier I interviewed Michael de Raadt about the Working Groups..
If you want to be involved you can volunteer?
Do you have an idea for a working group? Would you like to be a working group leader? Contact Michael at michaeld@moodle.com to suggest a topic.


TUESDAY, Aug. 23, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Five more cases of locally transmitted Zika infection were confirmed by Florida health officials on Tuesday, including one in the Tampa Bay area.
The four other cases were connected to mosquitoes in Miami's Wynwood arts district, the first area in Florida to report local transmission of Zika. According to the Florida Department of Health, the fifth was diagnosed in a Pinellas County resident who hasn't traveled internationally.
Health officials have begun door-to-door outreach in Pinellas County, and mosquito control activities are also taking place there, state health department officials said in a statement. However, they added that they still believe local transmission of Zika is not taking place in Pinellas County because only one case has been confirmed so far.
The news comes just days after Florida Gov. Rick Scott called on federal health officials to send the state more resources to fight the growing transmission of Zika virus after five cases of local infection were reported in Miami Beach.
The five latest cases bring the state total to 42, state health officials said.
Until last week, local transmission of mosquito-borne Zika -- which can cause devastating birth defects in babies -- has been restricted to Wynwood. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had already advised that pregnant women not travel to the Wynwood area, and last Friday the agency extended that advisory to include the Zika-affected area of Miami Beach.
"Pregnant women should avoid travel to the designated area of Miami Beach, in addition to the designated area of Wynwood, because active local transmission of Zika has been confirmed," CDC director Dr. Tom Frieden said Friday.
Outside the Wynwood and Miami Beach areas, Florida health officials have investigated at least four other independent instances of mosquito-borne Zika transmission in Miami-Dade County, Frieden added.

Leadership: NATO Follows The Money
February 10, 2009: In a major policy shift, NATO has decided to go after the drug gangs in Afghanistan, as this will cut off the major source of financing for the Taliban. The revenue from protecting drug operations (the growing of poppies and refining them into heroin) provides the Taliban with $100 million or more a year. That makes it possible to put 20,000 armed men into action each year (most of them operate from March through November). It costs several thousand dollars a year per man. That includes salary (often only $200 a month), plus weapons, some equipment and a larger payment to his family if he is killed (which about 4,000 were last year). Leaders (of 10, 20, a hundred or more men) are paid higher sums, and get more gear (GPS, binoculars, sat phones).
The UN estimates that drug production is now a $4-5 billion a year business in Afghanistan. Since the Afghan GDP is $14 billion, that makes the illegal drug trade the source of about a third of the national income. This money is not taxed, and is generally controlled by men who have little interest in supporting a national government. The drug lords tend to remain loyal to their south Afghanistan Pushtun tribes, thus increasing the power of the tribes against the central government. Only about a third of the population is involved in the drug trade. About 90 percent of those people (mainly the farmers) receive 25 percent of that drug income. That's several times what they would make with traditional endeavors (growing wheat). Another 25 percent goes to the government and tribal officials (for bribes) and the rest to drug lords (who have to pay for security and the chemical processing that turns poppies into opium and heroin). As a result, thousands of Afghans are getting very rich, but illegally. These guys consider themselves above the law, and have the guns, cash and loyal followers to make that happen.
A ton of heroin is sold to smugglers for about $2-3 million to the Afghan producer. It's worth more, the farther you have to move it, and can end up being worth $30 million or more in parts of West Europe. The consumer pays 5-10 times as much, because the drug is diluted ("cut"). In 2006, for example, Afghanistan's poppy production used some 400,000 acres (160,000 hectares). That yielded some 6,100 tons of poppies. This was refined into 610 tons of heroin (90 percent of the world supply, mainly because of low price). Farmers earn about $1,000-2,000 per acre of poppies, which is the highest price for any crop grown in Afghanistan. Actually, the middlemen, often tribal leaders, make far more per acre, and the farmers often end up in debt if the poppy crop fails (for any number of reasons, including government anti-drug efforts).
When sold in a Western town or city, the heroin from that acre of Afghan poppies brings in about $80,000. There's lots of money for the middlemen, including the Taliban. Most of the poppies are grown in Taliban country. The Taliban tax the farmers, and other middlemen, 10-20 percent. Big money. Buys lots of guns, government officials and other stuff.
The Taliban and the drug lords have common cause in keeping the government weak. The Taliban have let it be known that, if they regain control of the government, it will be like the old days (the 1990s) when the Taliban let the drug lords run free, as long as they paid taxes and played by Taliban rules (keep all "vice" indoors or otherwise out of sight). But many drug gangs oppose the Taliban, because they see a return to Taliban rule as once more using Afghanistan as a base for al Qaeda. These drug lords are not stupid, and they realize that al Qaeda is nothing but trouble. Ideally, the drug gangs would just like to get some kind of pliable tyrant running the national government, so the drug business can proceed unhindered.
The drug lords look for an arrangements similar to what the Chinese warlords had in north Burma until the 1980s (when the Burmese and Chinese governments finally moved in and shut down most of the world's heroin production), or Colombia during the 1990s (when the cocaine gangs controlled large portions of the country). The druggies have a shot at that, because Afghanistan's normal condition is divided into tribal territories, with a "national government" whose main job is to deal with foreigners, and keep them out. For centuries, the world was willing to live with that. But now that Afghanistan is shipping heroin and Islamic terrorism to the outside, the world has an incentive to interfere in Afghan affairs. That is not easy, as the usually very poor Afghans are quite happy with all the cash they get for the heroin. The Taliban are another matter, and are there to represent for a few Pushtun tribes that are too religious and too intent on running the country. The Taliban are a big deal mainly for foreign journalists. For most Afghans, it's the heroin, and the large amount of cash in brings in, that makes the big difference.
The big problem NATO and the U.S. are going to have with the drug gangs is not destroying the poppy crops and drug refining labs, but dealing with the Afghan leadership and media. Many politicians and journalists are on the drug gang payroll. If the foreign troops manage to shut down the heroin business, a lot of Afghans are going to lose a lot. A whole lot. That heroin money has brought more cash into Afghanistan than anything, ever. It's a big deal, and it won't be given up easily. Not by the farmer who is getting 4-5 times the money he would get for growing wheat. Not for the drug gang leadership, who are, well, fabulously rich by traditional Afghan standards. Not for the top gang leadership, and the politicians they pay off. These guys are now rich by international standards. Holding on to that is worth dying for. And in the past, Afghans have died for a lot less.

A Hero's Journey to Developing Grit and Reading and Writing Skills
How do you combine a lesson about critical thinking, reading comprehension, and narrative writing with an exercise in developing character and grit? Key practices and tools designed by AltSchool educators and our product development team enable all educators and students to reflect deeply on a learner's development of personal strengths. Here's a look at how our Middle School class utilized this technology to explore what makes a hero a hero.
The Unit details every phase in the learning arc with individual Cards for each assignment.
What Makes a Hero?
Educator Courtney Reynolds began by introducing Joseph Campbell's concept of the Hero's Journey to her students. Campbell's book The Hero with a Thousand Faces explores heroes in mythology and the three phases of the hero's transformational journey: the departure, the initiation, and the return.
Using the AltSchool platform, Courtney created a Unit with three prompts:
What makes a hero a hero?
What are the steps and stages of the Hero's Journey and how do they impact the trajectory of the story?
Where can we find examples of the Hero's Journey in classical and contemporary literature?
With these questions in mind, students wrote essays describing what defines a hero based on their initial perceptions—in literature, history, film, and their own personal experiences. To make the learning relevant, Courtney used one of the most famous characters to be inspired by The Hero with a Thousand Faces as an example: Star Wars' Luke Skywalker. Skywalker's journey illustrated several important themes in Campbell's book, including exploring the unknown, overcoming the fear of change, and how the true journey is the hero's realization about deeper parts of him or herself (and in Skywalker's case, The Force).
Read more about how AltSchool utilizes technology to enable goal-setting and assessment.
Learning About Their Heroes
In the next phase of the project, students analyzed other popular fictional heroes, splitting into book clubs and reading A Wrinkle in Time, Walk Two Moons, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.
The Card that students used to document when Harry reached the "belly of the whale" phase of his Hero's Journey.
The clubs discussed their heroes and documented their thinking about each step of the Hero's Journey in the AltSchool platform for Courtney. When the Harry Potter group isolated the moment Harry reached the "belly of the whale" phase in his journey, they opened the Playlist Card Courtney had created and documented their analysis with text-based evidence. This initiated an ongoing dialogue between Courtney and the students as they continued to pinpoint these pivotal moments during their hero's path to self-discovery in their Cards.
Writing Their Own Hero's Journeys
With AltSchool's focus on whole-child development, the Hero's Journey was especially pertinent, as students investigated the importance of character strengths such as curiosity and optimism. In the final phase of the learning arc, students applied their understanding by writing narratives.
"We focused on how the Hero's Journey is not just action and adventure; the hero is forced to confront something about themselves," Courtney explained. "For example, we discussed how Luke in Star Wars needed to develop purpose and grit." Each student chose from nine character strengths, developed by Character Lab, and wrote a story about their character's journey toward developing those traits.
After analyzing their first draft, students used the Goals tool to set their own goals, and shared their work with Courtney using student Capture. Doing so enabled ongoing dialogue between Courtney and each student as they revisited their goals and made revisions, while setting explicit intentions around writing technique helped them develop their narrative writing skills as they progressed.
Cards documented students' goals, revisions, and progress.
The results were honest and nuanced. "I expected most students to write fantasy but many chose realistic fiction," Courtney said. "Their characters were imperfectly perfect, each learning a valuable lesson about themselves over the course of their story. The platform allowed me to engage in and maintain meaningful conversations with each of my students. In the end, they were not merely writing a story; they were using their hero's journey as a vehicle for exploring their values, perspective, and sense of self. I was able to meet each of them where they were and stay privy to their unique thought process every step of the way."

Q: Can't download a file through urllib So, I have a scraper that uses bs4 to fetch some links out and then I am willing to download those links but the problem is, when I click on the download button my browser automatically starts to download the zip file that the link points at indirectly, but when I give the same link to urllib, it always ends up downloading the page instead of the zip file!
The link I scrape out is:Link I got from scraping
Link to the page that I scrapped for that link: Main Page
On this main page that link has a text "4931x"
Now when I click the same link through the browser it somehow redirects to:Redirected link
But even when I use urlopen with the 3rd link I get redirected again to the first one!
I have a feeling that this is a stupid question and might have a really easy solution, but I really can't seem to work my way around it. I just want to automatically download the zipped subtitle though urlopen but I can't!

Author's Note

This sweet and playful collection includes embroidery motifs for just about every animal under the sun! In addition to popular pets like cats and dogs, there are designs for hedgehogs, badgers, and even a flying squirrel. Each embroidered creature possesses its own whimsical personality and storybook-inspired design. All 380 motifs can be created quickly and easily using simple embroidery, cross-stitch, and appliqué techniques, making them perfect for embellishing and adorning anything made from fabric. I hope you enjoy stitching these fun and friendly little designs. Welcome to the teeny tiny menagerie!

Noriko Komurata

Tools & Materials

All of the motifs in this book are stitched with No. 25 embroidery floss, which is composed of six strands of long-staple mercerized cotton thread. The strands can be separated, allowing you to make your embroidery appear thick or thin. This type of embroidery floss is inexpensive to buy and is widely available at craft stores, discount stores, and online.

You can embroider just about any type of fabric, including cotton, linen, felt, and wool. For best results, look for a plain-woven fabric designed especially for embroidery. The designs in this book are small, so you don't need to use a hoop. However, you may find a hoop helpful if you're working on a large piece or with a thin fabric.

This book uses two different types of needles: embroidery needles (pictured on left) and cross-stitch needles (pictured on right). Embroidery needles have sharp tips, while cross-stitch needles have rounded tips designed specifically for cross-stitch fabric. Both types of needles are available in a range of sizes, so choose the one works best with the number of strands of embroidery floss you are using.

Use small thread clips with fine blades to trim embroidery floss and large fabric shears to cut out embroidery and appliqué fabric.
How to Transfer the Designs

Basic Method

This simple technique uses colored chalk paper to transfer designs onto fabric. Colored chalk paper is available at fabric and craft stores. This method is best suited for traditional embroidery fabrics, such as cotton or linen.

1. Position a sheet of colored chalk paper on top of the fabric with the chalk side facing down.

2. Copy the design onto a sheet of tracing paper. Position the tracing paper on top of the colored chalk paper. Cover the tracing paper with cellophane.

3. Trace the design with a pen or pencil.

4. The design has now been transferred to your fabric.

Alternative Method

This traditional Japanese method is a great option when working with more complex fabrics. It can be challenging to transfer the design to thick, textured fabrics like wool and thin, delicate fabrics like silk. If you are experiencing difficulty transferring your design, try copying the design onto a thin piece of paper, such as Japanese _washi_ paper, then baste the paper to the embroidery fabric. Embroider the design, then remove the basting and gently rip away the _washi_ paper. If the embroidery design is filled with solid areas of stitching, such as long and short stitch, it's best to embroider the outline, then remove the _washi_ paper before filling in the design. This will prevent your embroidery from looking bulky.

1. Copy the design onto _washi_ paper.

2. Baste _washi_ paper to embroidery fabric.

3. Embroider the design as noted in the instructions. Remove basting and gently rip away _washi_ paper.

Transfer Products

There are a number of great products on the market today that can help you transfer designs to your fabric quickly and easily. Look for Wash-Away Stitch Stabilizer from C&T Publishing, which works in just four simple steps:

1. Print, copy, or trace your design on to a sheet

2. Stick it down in position on your fabric

3. Stitch your design right through it

4. Dissolve it...the printed stabilizer washes away easily in water without damaging your work

How to Embroider the Designs

How to Prepare Your Thread

1. Hold the skein of embroidery floss with the label between your fingers and pull out the end.

2. Cut a piece of thread about 15¾"-19¾" (40-50 cm) long.

3. Separate the strands of thread.

4. Realign the number of strands necessary to stitch the design, as noted in the instructions. Always separate the strands, even when using all six strands, as this prevents your thread from knotting.

How to Thread Your Needle

1. Fold the piece of thread. Use your needle to apply pressure and create a crease.

2. Insert the fold through the eye of the needle.

3. Pull the thread through the eye of the needle.

4. Pull until there is a 4" (10 cm) long thread end.

Starting a New Thread

1. Align the needle and thread end.

2. Wrap the thread around the needle a couple of times.

3. Hold the wrapped thread between your fingers and pull the needle out. Move the knot to the thread end.

4. The knot is complete.

Finishing a Thread

1. Align the needle on top of the stitches on the wrong side of the embroidery fabric.

2. Wrap the thread around the needle a couple of times.

3. Hold the wrapped thread between your fingers and pull the needle out. Move the knot to the fabric.

4. The knot is complete.

Right Side vs. Wrong Side

The wrong side of your embroidery is just as important as the right side because it can influence the finished appearance of your work. Always start and finish your threads as shown on the previous page in order to produce neat, professional-looking finished designs. The photos below show finished designs as they appear on both the right side and wrong side.

Make small, neat knots and trim the thread ends close to the surface of the embroidery fabric. This will prevent the design from appearing bulky or bumpy on the right side of the work.

After stitching the nose and eye, make a small knot and trim the thread end to keep the work flat.

When starting a new area of stitching, prevent the thread from becoming visible on the right side. Even if you are using the same color, start a new thread or pass the needle under the back of other stitches to move to the new area. This way, you'll avoid having long threads visible on the right side of your work. This is especially important when you're embroidering on light fabric.

After stitching the front hooves, start a new thread to stitch the back hooves rather than bringing the same thread across.
How to Appliqué

The type of fabric you use will determine which appliqué technique you should follow. If you use felt, you don't need to worry about the fabric unraveling, so you can use the raw edge appliqué method. If you use a woven fabric, such as cotton, you'll need to take a few extra steps to finish the edges of the fabric. In this guide, we hand-appliquéd using embroidery floss, but feel free to use your favorite machine or hand sewing thread. Note: The photos below use a contrasting color of thread for visual clarity. When actually stitching, use thread that matches your appliqué fabric for a beautiful and subtle finish.

Raw Edge Appliqué Method

1. Copy the design onto a sheet of tracing paper.

2. Transfer the design onto a piece of felt (refer to pages 9- for transferring instructions).

3. Cut the felt out along the lines.

4. Blanket stitch the felt to the embroidery fabric, as shown in the above photo (refer to page 116 for blanket stitch instructions).

5. The blanket stitching is complete.

6. Embroider to complete the design.

Finished Edge Appliqué Method

1. Copy the design onto a sheet of tracing paper.

2. Use colored chalk paper to transfer the design to a piece of cardboard. Cut out the cardboard to create a template.

3. Trace the template onto the wrong side of the appliqué fabric.

4. Cut out the fabric, adding an "-¼" (0.3-0.4 cm) seam allowance.

5. Make clips in the seam allowance along the curved areas.

6. Align the template on top of the fabric and press the seam allowance to the wrong side.

7. The seam allowance is folded to the wrong side.

8. Blanket stitch the appliqué fabric to the embroidery fabric (refer to page 116 for blanket stitch instructions).
How to Read the Templates

The templates included in this book will produce finished designs that are the same size as pictured in the photographs. The templates can be enlarged or reduced as desired. Use a photocopier to blow up or shrink the templates to the size you'd prefer.

Embroidery Templates

On each page of templates, you'll find a stitching guide with general instructions for embroidering the designs. In addition, each template includes labels with specific instructions for that individual design. This includes stitch names for the different elements of the design, suggested embroidery floss colors, and the number of strands used for each area. Follow these recommendations if you want your embroidery to look like the samples in the book, or have fun experimenting with different stitches and colors to create your own unique designs. The example below shows how embroidery instructions are provided throughout the book.

Stitching Guide

*Use satin stitch to fill all designs, unless otherwise noted.

*Use one strand of embroidery floss.

*When making French knots, wrap the thread around the needle once.

Cross-Stitch Templates

The templates for cross-stitch designs are printed on grids, making the pattern easy to read. Symbols are used to show which color of embroidery floss to use for each section. A stitch key lists the embroidery floss color that corresponds to each symbol. Thick black lines and dots indicate when to use a stitch other than cross-stitch. These lines are always labeled, so you'll know where to straight stitch, backstitch, or French knot stich. The example below shows how cross-stitch instructions are provided throughout the book.

Stitching Guide

*Use two strands of embroidery floss for all designs, unless otherwise noted.

*When making French knots, wrap the thread around the needle once.

*Use 12 or 14 count Aida cloth.

Q: Login to Jboss 7.1.1 Final admin console with Java I need to login into Jboss admin console using a Java program. I have searched for a whole day but didn't find a single clue about how to do it. I tries using HttpClient 4.0 , but , it ended which error : "Unexpected end of File".
Please upload any code fragment if you have . Or may be, there should be any configuration which should be there in Jboss server itself. Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks in advance

A: If all you want to know is the memory usage of the JBoss process than I think the easiest way is to ssh to the server and use normal unix commands to get the answer, e.g. here is a way of getting the process ID of JBoss and then passing it to the pmap command which supposedly gives you the memory usage (I cannot confirm that because MacOS doesn't have pmap, but Linux has):
ps -ax | grep "JBoss" | grep -v grep | awk '{print "pmap " $1}' | sh

If you really want to connect to JBoss to get information then JMX is the way to go. JBoss provides the facility to connect via RMI and query all the MBeans. See this chapter, section 2.3.2 on how to connect to JBoss JMX.

Ortotropia (z gr. ortho – proste, trópos – zwrot, obrót) – zjawisko występujące w przypadku, gdy własności materiałowe ciała zmieniają się w kierunkach prostopadłych, nie pokrywających się z osiami głównymi przyjętego układu współrzędnych. Ma to miejsce np. przy rozważaniu konstrukcji wykonanych z żywic zbrojonych włóknem szklanym lub węglowym, jak również przy rozważaniach mikrostruktury niektórych ciał ceramicznych lub metalicznych.

W mechanice ciała stałego właściwości ciała ortotropowego są opisywane za pomocą tensora sztywności cijkl o dziewięciu unikatowych składowych. W przypadku liniowej teorii sprężystości macierz sztywności zapisuje się jako:

lub jej odwrotność w notacji inżynierskiej jako macierz podatności

gdzie:
  – moduł Younga wzdłuż osi
  – moduł Kirchhoffa w kierunku  na płaszczyźnie, której normalna jest w kierunku
  – liczba Poissona.

CSU ready to kick some Cavs
Authors: Reed Saunders
These guys sure are.
For CSU, a long and arduous pre-season filled with two-a-day workouts and hot afternoon practices will finally culminate Thursday night when the Rams take on the University of Virginia in their season opener.
For at least one CSU player, the game couldn't be coming at a better time.
"I'm tired of our guys," said junior linebacker Drew Wood with a smile on his face. "I don't like (running back) Cecil (Sapp) any more. I want to hit someone with a different color jersey."
The dark blue jerseys of the Virginia Cavaliers will be the target of Wood and the rest of the CSU squad come Thursday.
Virginia finished last season with a 5-7 mark and, following its game with the Rams, will face perennial national power Florida State, a fellow Atlantic Coast Conference member.
"The ACC is a good football conference. We can play with them but we have to be keyed up and ready to go," said Sonny Lubick, the Rams' 10-year head coach. "They have good teams in that conference, but we'd like to think we have good teams in the Mountain West Conference, too."
Virginia head coach Al Groh doesn't figure his team is thinking CSU will make for easy work.
"We have an acute sense of how good the team we're playing is," Groh said. "We felt that our team could grow by playing the best. This is one of the best teams we'll play all year."
When the Rams kickoff Thursday (5:30 p.m.) in Charlottesville it will mark the earliest starting date for a football season in NCAA history, surpassing the old mark by one day.
The early start date comes not a moment too soon for Sapp. The Rams' senior running back missed all of last season due to injury but appears to have regained his first-team all-MWC form of 2000.
"To me, he seems to be back at 100%," said John Benton, the Rams' co-offensive coordinator. "We'll need to establish the run right off the bat and having him back there definitely gives us a boost and a second legitimate running threat."
The other threat Benton refers to is quarterback Bradlee Van Pelt, who rushed for 546 yards in 2001, the most for a quarterback since Anthoney Hill gained 433 rushing yards in 1993.
"Having Cecil back makes me better; it makes everyone better," said Van Pelt, who enters his junior season.
"The game plan is still to run the ball, but we'll go down the field as well."
Van Pelt spent most of the off-season improving his throwing accuracy, looking to become more of a complete quarterback.
"Accuracy was never a problem for Bradlee, he just needed more experience," said Joey Cuppari, the Rams' senior wide receiver. "Now he's just fine tuned his accuracy and developed a better connection with his receivers."
Benton hopes Virginia isn't as knowledgeable about Van Pelt's accuracy.
"Bradlee improved more than anyone from last year to this season," Benton said. "We're hoping teams gang up on the run because he's going to show them just how complete of a quarterback he's become."
CSU will need Van Pelt to be firing on all cylinders to stop Virginia's experienced secondary, the strong point of a veteran defense.
"I know I'll have to make my share of big completions," Van Pelt said. "If I can do my job, that opens things up for Cecil and our other weapons to explode."
The Cavaliers also have an unusual defensive front. Where most college teams play with four defensive linemen and three linebackers, Virginia plays a 3-4 scheme.
"It will be a challenge for us because they're able to jam the line pretty well," Van Pelt said. "But we're not backing down. We're getting ready for it all."
Preparing for everything is also a theme on defense, where the Rams will be faced with a balanced attack from the Cavalier offense.
"We've looked at 10 or 11 different personnel alignments," Wood said. "They run sets with no backs, they run sets with two backs and two tight ends. They could run the ball 36, 37 times a game or pass a lot. It's a lot to prepare for."
On the whole, the Rams appear healthy heading into their opener. The only remaining question mark is all-conference punter Joey Huber, who is still recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery.
The absence of the Rams' punter doesn't make Groh very upset.
"I think the most dominant player on their team could be their punter," Groh said. "I've watched about 80 of his punts and he changes the flow of a game."
Benton says accomplishing the little things could add up to a CSU victory.
"In a first game, mistakes are going to come up," Benton said. "Our number one priority is to not do the things that beat ourselves: penalties and turnovers being the key things."
History says the Rams will be successful. Under Sonny Lubick, CSU has a 7-2 mark in season-openers. And even though the Rams dropped their opening decision a year ago to Colorado, CSU has not lost consecutive opening games during Lubick's tenure.
