A Pioneer Girl's Treasures
Posted on August 22, 2012 by SDHSPress
On my most recent visit to Rocky Ridge Farm in the Missouri Ozarks, I was once again struck by all the things Laura Ingalls Wilder had managed to save from her childhood— her sampler, her handkerchief, the slates she and Mary used when they attended school in Walnut Grove, Minnesota, even the jewel-box she describes in such loving detail in On the Banks of Plum Creek.
It's remarkable that so many objects from her childhood survived, given how often the Ingalls family moved—from Wisconsin to Missouri to Kansas and back to Wisconsin again; on to Minnesota, then Iowa, and back to Minnesota; finally on to Dakota Territory. All these moves were made either by covered wagon or by train, which meant the family had to travel light. I suspect Caroline Ingalls supervised her girls' packing closely, but based on accounts in "Pioneer Girl" as well as the Little House series, both the real and fictional Ma understood how important it was to make a home wherever the family settled. That clearly included letting her girls take their small but precious possessions with them from one little house to another.
Wilder and her husband Almanzo made plenty of moves too—from South Dakota to Minnesota to Florida to South Dakota again and from there to Missouri, where they lived out their lives together. And they too traveled by train, wagon, or buggy. So it's literally a small miracle that Wilder's jewel-box from Plum Creek days survived.
A Childlike Sense of Wonder
I've long assumed that Wilder saved these things because, in a childhood marked by frugality and poverty, even the purchase of those slates must have seemed like an extravagance. But I'm not sure that an impoverished childhood entirely explains why Wilder saved those treasures from her past. My father, a child of the Great Depression, grew up in an Arkansas log cabin and like the Ingalls girls, he and his sisters delighted in simple pleasures and learned to live happily with less. Yet nothing except photographs from my father's childhood remains; he didn't save his childhood treasures.
I suspect that Wilder kept hers because part of her never entirely grew up. Yes, like most of us, she kept important and official family documents, the papers that define a family's history. The archives at Rocky Ridge Farm, for example, include Charles and Caroline Ingalls's wedding license, Mary's diploma from the Iowa College for the Blind, and Wilder's own teaching certificates. Wilder became the family member responsible for preserving family history and documentation. But she also continued to nurture that childlike sense of wonder, a characteristic that often defines children's book writers.
A Writer's Ambition
Among the items Wilder saved is her essay titled "Ambition," written when she was seventeen for her teacher, Mr. Owen, in De Smet, South Dakota. It was a piece of writing that she was proud of. Perhaps her secret ambition had long been to become a writer.
Years later when Wilder, her husband, and daughter moved to Missouri, she began to act on that ambition. Almanzo had made her a portable writing desk, and throughout the journey to Missouri in 1894, Wilder kept a diary in a small notebook of her impressions along the way. She drafted a letter home to friends and family in De Smet, and it was published in the De Smet News and Leader in August 1894. Of course, she kept the clipping with a handwritten note, "First I ever published."
Wilder began to write her life story in 1930, two years after she and Almanzo moved into the Rock House, a gift from their daughter Rose Wilder Lane. Here Wilder wrote Pioneer Girl, as well as the first three novels in the Little House series. It's impossible to know all the details of Wilder's writing process, but I like to think of her at the dining room table in the Rock House, a supply of No. 2 lead pencils and a Fifty Fifty tablet from Springfield Grocer Company at the ready. Perhaps as she struggled to find the right word or to describe the sound of Pa's fiddle, she looked across the living room and out the window at that hazy Ozark sky and found the inspiration to continue, one word at time, one memory at a time.

School slates like Laura and Mary's can be purchased in Amish country – Try Ohio or Pennsylvania – or online, for that matter.

I am so looking forward to reading Pioneer Girl. I have wanted to read it forever. I have always been amazed that so many of Laura's keepsakes survived. I thought they had lost most everything when their home burned after the baby died. Thank you for taking on this project. Laura's fans of all generations will be thrilled for years to come. And @Sherry Bastow – they carry 50-50 tablets in the gift shop at the museum in Mansfield.

As a child in elementary school in South Dakota, the 'Red Chief Tablet' was considered the best for one's writing. As one can see by the illustration, It was quality. Today, a legal pad would do the same. I like to save my writing in a binding or ringed composition book so all pages are kept, unless a decision is made to remove pages Today, writings/paper often succumb to technology and changes are not as pure.

I am wondering if some of Laura's treasures from her childhood weren't stored at Pa's house on 3rd St. The Wilder's house caught fire and only a few things were saved. They must have been somewhere else, don't you think?

I am so thankful to everyone that is pulling together to publish Pioneer Girl. 🙂 I think that Laura Ingalls Wilder is an important American, and she and her family's legacy should never be forgotten. What she wrote serves so importantly as not only historical fiction, but also character and Biblical examples interwoven throughout her books. My son and and sit and talk about things throughout the books and relate them back to the Bible. I've found a greater appreciation for the simpler things in life because of Laura and her books. 🙂

I am a LIW fangirl and finally was able to go to the museum in Mansfield, MO this past weekend. I was thrilled to see so many of the items mentioned in the books and could not believe how many of them survived. I had the opportunity to talk with Vicki at the museum about this Pioneer Girl project and am very excited to learn this will be published.

These are the treasures that the fans and other researchers and scholars love to see! — Please don't forget her TEACHER CERTIFICATE…that is another treasure!

Missouri….a part of the story, South Dakota, our reality. Laura is the same in Dakota, where I grew up with 'The little house books'. Laura shared her life, writing and remembering. My trek to the DeSmet Pageant in the early 1980's gave me assurance that pioneers kept the best memories. Every reader can appreciate this simple sharing of life, learning, growth, and experience,

Well, for most of Laura's childhood, they didn't have access to photography. And when they did, it was a matter of going to a professional photographer for a portrait, not having a camera in the family. Given how they lived, they probably could go for several years without having access to a photographer.
In that context, photographs would be rare prized momentos, like the china box and the other keepsakes. You might only have a photograph taken every few years, for very special occasions. I think I remember reading somewhere that the photo of Mary, Laura and Carrie commemorated Mary's departure for the blind school, and the photo of Laura and Almonzo was a belated wedding portrait. Every photograph would be framed and displayed, essentially making it a 3-dimensional decorative item, much like the jewelry box.
But photographs weren't taken frequently enough to be the primary tool for remembering – for most occasions, you'd need to have something else as a keepsake. So a jewelry box would be saved not just for its function, but to remember the Christmas when you received it. You also see people saving things in other ways, such as perhaps drying and saving flowers from a wedding, or keeping an autograph album to save memories of your friends, It probably never occurred to Laura to have a photograph taken with her childhood friends to remember them by, but a piece of handmade lace would be saved, perhaps even after it was too worn to use, for the sake of the memory.
By the time of the great depression, photography had changed. It had gone from a professional activity to something that was affordable and convenient for an amature, with commercially available film and development, rather than all of that having to be done by the photographer. Photographs were probably thought of as different from other keepsakes. You'd take photos at birthdays and holidays, or on vacation, and save them in an album. And photographs became the primary personal remembrance of a place or event, with other types of mementos and souvenirs loosing some emotional significance.
For your grandfather, if the family wanted to remember the Christmas when he was eight, they'd take a picture, and save it. Half a century earlier, that wouldn't have been possible.
Photographs were still a much bigger deal than they are now, with fewer taken for any given event (due to the expense) and they were still kept as treasures. I do wonder how our grandkids would remember us today. Digital photographs can't be enjoyed without the right hardware and software. How many people won't have pictures of their grandparents because the CD or flash drive they were saved on is a technology no longer in use?
I suspect that Laura would have categorized the photographs, the jewelry box, and other saved items together as "keepsakes" in her mind – they were all unique objects used to remember events in her life. Either way, each item had a story attached, and she'd share the story with the item, to pass memories on to her daughter.
For your grandfather, photos and keepsakes were probably different mental categories. If he wanted to tell someone about an event in his past, he'd probably go first to the photographs, to show a picture related to the event. The photograph from a childhood birthday would be saved to remember the event, but the presents wouldn't necessarily be kept for the sake of the memory.

TAFE NSW Student Takes Home Prestigious Award at Australian National Field Days
TAFE NSW Orange
Callum Darby−Linfitt
Published Date2 Months Ago
Orange local and TAFE NSW student Billy Steer has won the 2022 Ivan Kingham Award at the Australian National Field Days in Borenore.
The Ivan Kingham award is presented annually at the Australian National Field Days to a student who has shown outstanding dedication and excelled in their Agribusiness course.
After studying a Certificate III and IV in Agriculture, Billy is now completing a Diploma of Viticulture at TAFE NSW.
It's a great time to join the industry as NSW is Australia's second-largest wine-producing state, accounting for 32 per cent of Australia's $44 billion wine industry.[i]
Currently working as a Vineyard Supervisor for See Saw Wines in Orange, Billy said studying at TAFE NSW gives him the opportunity to apply his practical skills directly into the workplace.
"I first enrolled in a Certificate III in Agriculture at TAFE NSW, and that traineeship offered me an excellent entry to the agriculture sector as well as a qualification I could take with me wherever I decided to go.
"I have always had a passion for working with my hands as well as the outdoors, so agriculture offered me a great way to do both. After my first course was complete, I was having too much fun and decided to continue on to my Certificate IV.
"I'm currently studying a Diploma of Viticulture, and after this, I'll do study a Certificate III in Irrigation Tech to learn how to design, install, and manage irrigation systems. Then I'll head down to South Australia and work there managing a vineyard before I take the big leap into buying a farm of my own."
TAFE NSW Head Teacher of Agribusiness, Dubbo, Kerri Capill said "We are beyond proud of Billy winning the Ivan Kingham Award at this year's National Fields Days".
"TAFE NSW is supporting a pipeline of highly skilled and passionate industry professionals to support the growing wine industry in NSW and Thanks to his commitment to building practical skills, we know Billy has a bright future

Mayor Marilyn Strickland Leads Delegation to
Vietnam and China March 31-April 10
Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland will travel with City of Tacoma Community and Economic Development Department staff to meet with existing and potential investors and promote Greater Tacoma's assets. These assets include the city's public and private education system, recreational opportunities, thriving museum district and waterfront.
"Our diverse population and strategic partnership in the Global Cities Initiative have helped position Tacoma as a welcoming, international waterfront city. As a result, we are attracting foreign direct investment, hosting more students and receiving delegations from Asia," said Strickland. "It is important to cultivate our city's relationships with investors who have already committed to building housing, office, retail and lodging in our downtown core."
"This trip represents an enormous opportunity to continue leveraging more than $275 million in foreign direct investments already committed to two of the most significant downtown properties in Tacoma," said Community and Economic Development Director Ricardo Noguera. "As a result of this trip, we expect to attract more private capital from both Vietnamese and Chinese investors."
The delegation will visit the following cities:

PPP Bailout Money
Chinese firms got millions of PPP bailout money. The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) provided relief for struggling small American businesses. With a $660 billion fund, help came to those who needed it, and it also arrived at some unintended recipients. Somehow, millions of dollars of forgivable loans went to Chinese-owned companies.
PPP Bailout Money | Chinese Firms Got Millions in Coronavirus
Consulting firm Horizon Advisory reviewed available PPP reports and found some interesting data. According to them, around 125 Chinese firms received between $192 to $419 million in PPP loans. The firms are either Chinese-owned or invested in Chinese financing. Among the borrowers were 32 companies that received more than $1 million each.
Small Business Relief
With a $2.2 trillion fund, the PPP provided loans to eligible firms during the pandemic. To qualify, firms must be small businesses with fewer than 500 employers. If they used 60% of the money for payroll, with some for rent and overhead, the loan becomes a grant instead. A program this big and well-funded will attract a lot of attention. Publicly traded firms applied and got approval for loans. As these companies got called out, many returned the money.
With the rules open for some interpretation, the PPP may have allowed some loopholes. Among the gaps was allowing American subsidies of foreign companies to apply.
Horizon Advisory co-founders Emily de La Bruyère and Nathan Picarsic noted the PPP's lack of safeguards. They said that the "extent and nature of P.R.C.-owned, -invested and -connected entities among the P.P.P. loan recipients indicate that without appropriate policy guardrails, U.S. tax dollars intended for relief, recovery and growth of the U.S. economy — and small businesses in particular — risk supporting foreign competitors, namely China."
Previously: PPP Recipients Revealed, 51 Million Jobs Saved
Chinese Companies
Companies that availed of the bailout include Continental Aerospace Technologies and Aviage Systems. Both are part of the Chinese military conglomerate Aviation Industry Corporation of China. CAT received $10 million in loans, while Aviage got $350,000.
HNA Group's US subsidiaries HNA Group North America LLC and HNA Training Center NY got $1 million each. HNA Group is a Fortune Global 500 that deals in real estate, aviation, and financing.
Another one is BGI Americas Corporation, a subsidiary of China's gene-testing BGI Group. When called out, BGIAC returned the money.
Biotech firm Dendreon Pharmaceuticals received a loan worth $5 million to $10 million. Its parent company, Nanjing Xinbai, is a state-invested company with ties to the CCP. These are the same organizations that President accuses of stealing intellectual property.
Mobile payment firm Citcon USA LLC received $150,000 to $350,000 in loan money. Its major investor, ZhenFund has ties to Alipay and WeChat, which are also targeted by Trump.
Fixing The PPP Bailout Money Loopholes
Horizon Advisory acknowledges that loans to Chinese companies saved American jobs. Butt, they also noted that these companies may have access to other sources of capital.
With the pandemic still wreaking havoc in the US, Congress is working on a second relief package. Republican lawmakers have submitted a provision that limits Chinese participation in future bailouts. Businesses owned in part or full by Chinese companies are not allowed to apply for loans. The same applies to companies with a Chinese resident on the board of directors.
Chinese companies receiving American tax dollars to continue operating on US soil? Companies owned by the same group of people accused by the President of stealing IP? The same country the President blames for the origin of the virus currently damaging the US? The irony is thick in this situation. The already shaky Sino-US relationship is facing yet another test.
Watch this video about the PPP Bailout Money:
Do you agree that PPP and other relief efforts should exclude Chinese companies? After all, they opened American offices and hired Americans during a global pandemic. Then again, they seem to operate under their own rules, and China is a US rival and competitor. Share what you think by leaving your comments below!
Given the current Sino-American situation, do you willingly buy Chinese made products?
They're everywhere and cheap. I have no choice.
I don't mind "Made in China" as long as the company is American.
Real Americans buy American goods.

A recommendable chapter in Designing positive psychology is the one by Anthony Grant and Michael Cavanagh (photo) on coaching. I won't completely summarize it here but I'll highlight some points I found interesting.
The authors explain that coaching, in the last decade, has become a mainstream activity both in business and in health settings. They define coaching as a relationship formed between a professional coach and the coachee for the purpose of attaining valued professional or personal outcomes. Also, they point out that most coaches do not have explicit training in the behavioral sciences and that most coaches do no tend to use coherent theoretical approaches or scientifically validated techniques and measures. As some applications of coaching they mention: 1) business coaching, 2) learning how to work well with difficult people, 3) career coaching, 4) team building, 5) coaching to improve sales performance, and 6) coaching to improve job interview performance.
According to the authors, coaching research is still in its infancy although there has been a significant growth in the coaching literature in recent years. Of the 360 peer reviewed papers which have been published between 2000 and 2009, 30% were about empirical studies. Many of these empirical studies were not outcome research but 1) surveys or descriptive studies into the nature of coaching, 2) investigations into organizations' use of coaching, or 3) examinations of different perceptions of coaching. The authors found 81 coaching outcome studies which have been done since 1980 of which 27 were case studies, 40 within-subject studies, and 15 between subject studies. There were 11 outcome studies which used a randomized controlled design which have indicated that coaching can indeed improve performance in various ways 4 of these were in the medical or health area, 4 of these were in life or personal coaching and 3 were about coaching in the workplace (Deviney, 1994; Duijts, et al., 2008; Grant et al., in press). For instance, Grant et al. (in press) found that "short-term solution-focused, cognitive behavioral executive coaching consisting of four coaching sessions over 10 weeks increased resilience and workplace well-being, and reduced stress and depression.
Thank you so much for taking more time and effort to shared this very nice and wonderful topic with us, your idea is more helpful for me.

'The Punisher' Trailer and Release Date Revealed
By eelyajekiM | @ | Thursday, October 19th, 2017 at 2:00 pm
The Punisher has been riding on the waves of high anticipation since his character debut in season 2 of Daredevil. But much, if not all, of that excitement died out in the wake of the Las Vegas shootings.
Marvel Television respectfully pulled their NYCC panel, which was rumored to unveil the release date. At the time, some believed that the series would be released this month. But a new trailer confirms that The Punisher can be streamed next month. Check out the full trailer below.
Playing against Metallica's "One," this new trailer gives us a more detailed look at the title character (played by Jon Bernthal), his motivation, and the bloody journey he will take to get vengeance for the loss of his family, after they are killed by a shadowy government organization.
In the trailer, we see that Frank Castle was a military man working for black-ops under leadership who sought to bend the rules in order to complete the objective. This did not sit well with Frank, who was essentially their hitman. The trailer quickly takes us to the present day, where we see Frank live a happy life with his wife and child, who are gunned downed by the same corrupt group he used to work for.
With nothing to live for, Frank goes on the war path to find the person who ordered the hit. But he will soon discover that the injustices affect more than just his family. It's pretty much a plot you would expect to see in a comic book film about an anti-hero vigilante seeking vengeance. Hopefully there is more to it than that.
Here's the official plot synopsis:
After exacting revenge on those responsible for the death of his wife and children, Frank Castle (Jon Bernthal) uncovers a conspiracy that runs far deeper than New York's criminal underworld. Now known throughout the city as The Punisher, he must discover the truth about injustices that affect more than his family alone.
One thing that I am worried about is will the show have legs. Daredevil season 2 and Luke Cage season 1 lost a lot of gas by their midpoint. Some would argue that all of the Marvel Netflix shows suffer from a series exhaustion as 13 episode may be too much. So while there is a pattern, hopefully The Punisher can sustain itself throughout the entire season.
All 13 episodes of The Punisher will be able to be streamed exclusively on Netflix starting November 17, 2017. The series also stars Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Amber Rose Revah, Ben Barnes and Deborah Ann Woll.

the chip stands of Temagami . . .
summer of 1957 . . .
Oh, this brought back so many memories, especially the evening trips into Temagami by boat to get fries!
Those were my very best memories!
Can't believe I actually loved the warm vinegar!
The mention of the Busy Bee flooded me with memories! Two fun summers working there!
Loved the vinegar at the bottom of the cone. Used to stop at the chip truck that is in what is now the Foodland parking lot. Is the Busy Bee still there?
Sadly, the Busy Bee closed two or three years ago. It's hard to keep a restaurant going when the tourist season is 60 days long.

Q: Why can I not set part equal to 'contentDetails' instead of 'snippet' for a PlaylistItems Insert method call? I am very new to the YouTube API and am quite confused with the difference between the part and body of the API requests and what they mean. On the YouTube API PlaylistItems Insert documentation it mentions that it takes contentDetails, id, snippet, and status as headers. The following code used to insert a video into a playlist works fine:
import os
import pickle
from dotenv import load_dotenv
from googleapiclient.discovery import build
from google_auth_oauthlib.flow import InstalledAppFlow
from google.auth.transport.requests import Request

credentials = None

# token.pickle stores the user's credentials from previously successful logins
if os.path.exists('token.pickle'):
    print('Loading Credentials From File...')
    with open('token.pickle', 'rb') as token:
        credentials = pickle.load(token)

# If there are no valid credentials available, then either refresh the token or log in.
if not credentials or not credentials.valid:
    if credentials and credentials.expired and credentials.refresh_token:
        print("Refreshing Access Token...")
        credentials.refresh(Request())
    else:
        print("Fetching New Tokens...")
        flow = InstalledAppFlow.from_client_secrets_file(
            'client_secrets.json',
            scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube']
        )

        flow.run_local_server(port=8080, prompt='consent', authorization_prompt_message='')
        credentials = flow.credentials

        # Save the credentials for the next run
        with open('token.pickle', 'wb') as f:
            print("Saving Credentials for Future Use...")
            pickle.dump(credentials, f)

load_dotenv()
API_KEY = os.getenv('API_KEY')

with build('youtube', 'v3', credentials=credentials) as ytService:
    request = ytService.playlistItems().insert(
        part='snippet',
        body={
            'snippet': {
                'playlistId': 'PLL_zqGJzFipIjbeZfTmJTgnoM4Gl-80Hn',
                'resourceId': {
                    'kind': 'youtube#video',
                    'videoId': 'PhPqP2qUHdg'
                }
            }
        }
        )
    response = request.execute()
    print(response)

However, changing part='snippet' to part='contentDetails' produces the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:\Documents\Programming Projects\Google YouTube API\main.py", line 52, in <module>
    response = request.execute()
  File "D:\Documents\Programming Projects\Google YouTube API\.venv\lib\site-packages\googleapiclient\_helpers.py", line 130, in positional_wrapper
    return wrapped(*args, **kwargs)
  File "D:\Documents\Programming Projects\Google YouTube API\.venv\lib\site-packages\googleapiclient\http.py", line 938, in execute
    raise HttpError(resp, content, uri=self.uri)
googleapiclient.errors.HttpError: <HttpError 400 when requesting https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/playlistItems?part=contentDetails&alt=json returned "'snippet'". Details: "[{'message': "'snippet'", 'domain': 'youtube.part', 'reason': 'unexpectedPart', 'location': 'part', 'locationType': 'parameter'}]">

Why is this the case?

A: To make YouTube Data API v3 happy with your contentDetails, you have to precise both snippet and contentDetails for part as documented by PlaylistItems: insert:

part
string
The part parameter serves two purposes in this operation. It identifies the properties that the write operation will set as well as the properties that the API response will include.
The following list contains the part names that you can include in the
parameter value:

*

*contentDetails

*id

*snippet

*status

Request body
Provide a playlistItem
resource
in the request body. For that resource:
You must specify a value for these properties:
snippet.playlistId
snippet.resourceId
You can set values for these properties:
snippet.playlistId
snippet.position
snippet.resourceId
contentDetails.note
contentDetails.startAt
contentDetails.endAt

Here is how you should do it:
    request = ytService.playlistItems().insert(
        part='snippet,contentDetails',
        body={
            'snippet': {
                'playlistId': 'PLL_zqGJzFipIjbeZfTmJTgnoM4Gl-80Hn',
                'resourceId': {
                    'kind': 'youtube#video',
                    'videoId': 'PhPqP2qUHdg'
                }
            },
            'contentDetails': {
                'note': 'Here is a user-generated note for this item.'
            }
        }
    )

In my opinion contentDetails for PlaylistItems: insert is useless as contentDetails.startAt and contentDetails.endAt are deprecated and as I am unable to retrieve contentDetails.note from the YouTube UI nor with PlaylistItems: list with part=contentDetails even if being authenticated for both.

(1883–1954). From 1930 to 1954, Getúlio Vargas was the dominant political force in Brazil. Although he seized power through a revolution, he governed well during his first years as president (1930–45). During this period the landholding system was revolutionized, the tax structure revised, and the nation industrialized. During World War II Brazil contributed huge quantities of raw materials to the Allied cause.
Getúlio Dorneles Vargas was born in São Borja, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, on April 19, 1883. He entered the army at age 16, and after his military service he attended the University of Pôrto Alegre. After graduation in 1908 he practiced law and worked in state government. In 1922 he was elected to the national legislature. For two years (1926–28) Vargas served as finance minister. Then in 1928 he was elected governor of Rio Grande do Sul.
Vargas used this office unsuccessfully to campaign for the presidency in 1930. Failing to win, he and his followers staged a revolution and took power. In November 1937 he abolished the constitutional government entirely. On Oct. 29, 1945, he was overthrown by a military revolt. Although in semiretirement, Vargas remained popular with the workers and was again elected president in 1950. The overwhelming opposition of the armed forces drove him to suicide on Aug. 24, 1954. He died in Rio de Janeiro.

Pokemon GO hacks, traps, and privileged insights have been flooding the web since the dispatch of this expanded reality (AR) portable diversion. On the off chance that you are as yet not mindful of Pokemon GO diversion, you may live in a buckle. In any case here's a concise depiction: It's a pseudo-reality diversion where players chase virtual Pokémon on their telephones, in actuality, areas. It utilizes the camera and GPS on the player's gadget to get Pokémon.

Downsizing your adaptation of Android ought not void the guarantee on your telephone as long as you utilize official firmware. Changing over a joystick to a framework application more often than not requires root benefits. You can change over a joystick to a framework application without establishing your Android, however you will require assistance from a custom recuperation.

The app offers control buttons (similar to a joystick arrow keys) to move in any direction you want. You can also adjust your moving/running speed. The joystick appears as an overlay. The module is still in beta so you might find some bugs which you can report to the developer (balamu96m).
TutuApp for Pokémon Go is known as the most straightforward strategy to parody area on Android as the designer of the application gives a slighly adjusted rendition of Pokémon GO by consolidating a local joystick and area mocking capacities.
In any case, the issue is that the more up to date arrivals of the Pokémon Go are significantly more harder to adjust when contrasted with the more seasoned form because of which the TutuApp variant is never again working with Android.
We have discovered that the engineers over at the TutuApp have been not able discharge a changed adaptation of the most recent Pokémon Go for Android. In addition, the application being given by TutuApp is only a reflected APK of the first Pokémon GO application that is now accessible on the Google Play Store.

Mr. Bharat Bhut, Director, Goldi Solar
What are the significant developments witnessed by the renewable energy industry in recent years?
In the world of rapid transformation, India has maintained its reputation by emerging as one of the major contributors in the renewable energy sector globally. As per reports, the Indian renewable energy sector is the 4th most attractive market in the world that's currently under the booming phase after a slow start.
Innovation is bringing down costs that's simultaneously delivering on the promise of a clean energy future. Currently, India ranks second amongst the emerging economies for leading the transition to clean energy.
Energy Storage: Energy storage plays a significant role in balancing power supply and demand that furthermore helps in tackling the intermittency issues of renewable energy. Just pair a storage system with the renewable energy source and ensure a smooth power supply, despite any weather conditions.
AI: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is seeping its way into various industries. Renewable energy industry is also embracing AI to power the Microgrids. Microgrids are local energy grids that provide energy independence, efficiency and protection during emergencies.
Harnessing the capabilities of AI along with microgrid controllers allows for continuous adaptation and improvement of operation.
Blockchain:
In addition to AI, blockchain technology is also being adapted for use in the renewable energy industry.

Highlight some of the solar manufacturing challenges faced today and plans to overcome them?
Solar energy tariffs in India are among the lowest in the world, but state governments are keen to push them down further. These dangerously low tariffs are turning unsustainable for some developers, who in turn cut corners on quality. There is a lack of liquidity in the market which becomes a challenging situation for manufacturers. After a relatively muted 2019, India is expected to install 11-12 GW in 2020, which is due to a stronger existing project pipeline and not because the market fundamentals have changed. Even though it will take time for the economy to stabilize, renewable purchase obligations, and facilitating lending will put the solar industry back on track so it can continue generating clean power, decrease pollution, and create jobs.
What is the impact of 2020 budget on the solar power sector, and how do you think will it help Goldi Solar in its growth trends?
The much-awaited Union Budget 2020 has been appreciated by the solar power industry. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman gave a big push to the solar power sector in an effort to promote renewable energy and signalled the end for old and polluting thermal power plants. The government announced many provisions to uplift the sector such as:
PM Kusum Scheme will allow 20 lakh farmers to setup standalone solar pumps. The government also proposed to incentivise farmers for adopting solar power for agricultural purposes and utilize barren land for generating revenues.
The government also proposed to increase solar energy generation by setting up large solar capacity alongside Railways tracks
Reducing corporate tax rate for new energy companies
Allocation to MNREs has increased by 10.62% in this budget, providing a relevant boost to the industry.

Q: How to extract a conditional range from ordered composite boost::multi_index In the following simplified example:
struct SalesRecord
{
    time_t date;
    std::string department;
    int sales_person_id;

    int num_sales;
    int total_num_sales;
};

typedef multi_index_container

                    member <SalesRecord, std::string, &SalesRecord::department>,

                >
            >
        >
    > SALES_RECORDS;

This SALES_RECORDS Collection may contain sale records by person and department who made at least one sale a day. A person "A" from department "Dep1" could have sales on date 1, 3, 4, 5, 20;
Q. How to acquire a range from this collection that finds all records for this person ("A"), department ("Dep1") after day 4?
This could be used to update total number of sales after correcting a number of sales on a particular date.
Currently, I am retrieving an equal_range for a person and iterate to the date needed which adds undesirable linear complexity to my searches.

A: tm     t{0,0,0,4,2,121,4}; // Mar 4, 2021
time_t tt=mktime(&t);
int    person_id=5;

auto first=sales_records.get<1>().lower_bound(std::make_tuple("Dep1",person_id)),
     last =sales_records.get<1>().lower_bound(std::make_tuple("Dep1",person_id,tt));

Update: The same thing can be done with range (C++14 used in the example):
auto p=sales_records.get<1>().range(
    [cmp=sales_records.get<1>().key_comp(),from=std::make_tuple("Dep1",person_id)   ]
    (const auto& x){return !cmp(x,from);},
    [cmp=sales_records.get<1>().key_comp(),to  =std::make_tuple("Dep1",person_id,tt)]
    (const auto& x){return cmp(x,to);});

but the resulting code is really much more cumbersome than the range-less alternative.

Tuesday 15th September 2015 Becoming - Group Art Exhibition by Six Student-artists / Recent Art Graduates from Metro Manila
By Noell El Farol
Becoming features the fleeting, transitory of the select young artist-students today who can become relevant artist of the future. These select artists-students are in current transformation, are navigating between creativity and the contemporary world concentrating on themes and issues confronting today's global and local landscape.
Each sharing similar experiences and perspectives, this young group of artists presents an energetic survey to explore the creative and political range of narratives; such as gender, identity, and social constructs.
Currently finishing her studies at the Philippine Women's University School of Fine and Design, Abbey Batocabe uses to expose self-consciousness without pretension that allows us to get closer and recognize reality. .'The Golden Broom' is triggered by childhood memories, attempting to seek recognition between reality and fantasy.
Attracted to places where layers of history commingle, Pope Bacay's snapshots of daily life captures landscapes and sites that most people don't see bringing subtle passages of color, creating sense of drama and patina of time. Recapturing the novelty value of site, from geographic and physical charms, the destructive elements in environment today and rustic beauty contributed both to symbolic desecration and natural splendor of local culture. Pope Bacay graduated last March from the College of Fine Arts of the University of the Philippines.
Collaborating with personal effects that have their own charge or personal significance, Pin Calacal's works resonate to sexuality, identity, and issues of human body. Imprinting textural qualities, Pin's performative act of unwrapping the body and mark making of pieces of undergarments using colored ink alludes to cleansing of body protection, security, and attachments. While the presence of the body lingers and departs as it is faintly suggested. The garment is viewed as aura of glamour while the undergarment is personally viewed as extended layer of skin. Pin Calacal is a Summa Cum Laude graduate from University of the Philippines last March.
Using elements of geometry and perspective to produce illusions of infinite space and unknown spatial structures, Renz Lee's perspectival playfulness and mystical sense of reality depicting altered states where space is both implied and denied. Tight architectonic structures pull us into the space of the canvas pushing contradictory forces to capture the experience in claustrophobic spaces. The work also calls to mind the generous simplicity of shaped canvasses framing unfamiliar routes. Renz Lee is currently in his senior year in the College of Fine Arts, University of the Philippines. He was the recipient of the 2015 ENSBA (Ecole Nationale Superiere de Beaux-Arts) scholarship in Paris.
Jemina Reyes graduated with B.A. in Studio Arts from the University of California-Santa Barbara and currently pursuing a Master degree in Fine Arts and Design at the Philippine Women's University. Inspired by flowers, Jemina's bright and highly saturated background colors appear elsewhere in picture plane. The viewer's gaze darts restlessly on suggestive bunch of flowers, passing various swirls of pigments whose tones suggest suspended petals with lush part and hazy impression affecting to the inevitably abstract outcome. The saturated colors serve to intensity the lyricism of the work while the white elements add to the shimmer of the surface. Works of Jemina demonstrate the strength and diversity of expression.
'Munting Mga Daliri' examines the relationship between openness to experience a private dimension related to object. Joyce Tiffany Reyes interests in using human figures as her main subject profiles different aspects of life, individuals' control over impulses and individuals' ability to adapt to different situations. Joyce Reyes recently graduated from The Philippine Women's University School of Fine Arts and Design.
Working on traditional and new media, and coming from different art schools/universities, artist-students; Abbey Batocabe, Pope Bacay, Pin Calacal, Renz Lee, Jose, Jemina Garcia Reyes, and Joyce Reyes represent the many other thirsty, and experimental young artists of the Philippines today.

'La La Land' Wins Best Picture At The Critics' Choice Awards & It Could Be A Sign Of Oscar Noms To Come
Ethan Miller/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The Critics' Choice Awards are the very start of award seasons, so those in the entertainment industry like to speculate that what happens at the Critics' Choice Awards is a good indication of what will happen for the rest of the year when it comes to giving out those statuettes. La La Land won the Critics' Choice Award for Best Picture, so does that mean that a Best Picture Oscar is in the film's future? It could be.
Just for posterity, La La Land also won other awards at the 2017 Critics' Choice Awards — Best Director (for Damien Chazelle); Best Original Screenplay (for Damien Chazelle); Best Cinematography; Best Production Design; Best Editing; Best Costume Design; Best Song; and Best Score. With a haul like that, it's hard to believe that La La Land won't do well at the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards, right? Even though the film didn't win any acting awards at the Critics' Choice Awards, I think all of the other awards they were given are a good sign. I haven't seen La La Land yet, but the more I hear about it and the more awards it brings home, the sooner I think I need to make it to my local movie theater before it becomes too crowded to do so.
2016 wasn't exactly a banner year for the world, and it's movies like La La Land that are brilliant for a little bit of escapism. From the bits and pieces I've seen, the film is shot beautifully, it's choreographed beautifully, and the colors just pop (it was filmed in Cinemascope). I'm ready for La La Land to sweep every awards show because it's exactly the kind of movie the world needs right now, and hopefully, the Critics' Choice Awards are a great predictor of the future.


MENOMONEE FALLS -- Three teens from Milwaukee are in custody for allegedly carjacking a woman at gunpoint in the parking lot of the Froedtert North Hills Health Center in Menomonee Falls on Monday, December 21st. The suspects in this case are barely old enough to drive.
Police say the crime happened 5:30 p.m. at the health center -- a busy time in a busy area.
"I never thought it would happen up there. I never would have thought about it. I`m surprised. Like I say, I walk my dogs through there every other day. To hear something like that going on so close is scary," Gary Schopp said.
Police say three subjects, a 17-year-old black female, a 16-year-old black female, and a 16-year-old black male, arrived in a vehicle that was reported stolen in an armed robbery incident in Milwaukee on December 19th.
The female victim was approached by the 16-year-old black male who brandished a handgun and demanded the victim's keys and personal property. The victim immediately relinquished her keys and personal property. The suspects took personal property before fleeing in the victim's vehicle.
The victim was then able to flee from the scene unharmed.
Officers from the Menomonee Falls Police Department, the Milwaukee Police Department, and the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department responded to the area.
The victim's vehicle was recovered abandoned within a mile of the incident nine minutes after the initial report.
Residents in the area reported suspicious persons in the neighborhood -- and within an hour, the three suspects were taken into custody.
Nobody was injured during this incident.
We are relieved and grateful that no one was injured. Our thanks to the Menomonee Falls and Milwaukee Police Departments and the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department for their quick action.
Punks will be out continuing their ways in a few weeks. just the way it is.
Once again parenting skills lacking for these 3 fools. Lock them up for good.
I'm sure they were just doing what they needed to do to survive. No opportunities, no education, no hope for the future. You know, lazy and stupid…………..
Tell that to the monkey who shot up the movie theater…Stupid is a human trait not a racial issue. Ignorance isn't seems to suit you well!
Shoot to kill. What a waste life.
Other side of the freeway south of there is black trashy ghetto area… doesn't surprise me that they are trying to move their criminal operations North.
Good kids don't carjack people or steal cars. When I was that age I was in school, sports, or working at one of my 3 part-time jobs to help support my family. I came from a bad neighborhood too, doesn't mean you have to wreck other people's lives…what's their excuse?
More ghetto spawn. What a shock.
Urban Milwaukee leaches crawling into our nice communities because they have destroyed their own. Conceal carry folks. Protect your own.
Good Kids do not do horrific stuff to innocent people, I mean of all places taking a persons car from a Medical Facility….SMH. I pray that justice is served but I fear that the system will fail the people that it is meant to protect once again. I am sure these heathens will be wondering the streets in no time.
We need to build a big wall around the north side. Just throw supplies over the wall. It is really sad when all know where they came from. The north side once again. They scream white privilege. The north side was not destroyed by with privilege. It was destroyed by the hood rats and blacks. I am done with this pc and saying how I see it.
I live in the Falls and I conceal carry. Just itching for an opportunity to defend myself or someone else. Then these so-called good kids won't have to worry about their futures as they will be pushing up daises.
If you're serious and really black according to your name…. You are brain dead.

Are you having trouble upgrading your iOS device today?
As millions of Apple product owners are finding out, upgrading to Apple's latest operating system for iPhone and the iPad on the first day it's available (Wednesday September 18th) is not quite as smooth as they had hoped.
The process is generally quite simple and straightforward provided your device is compatible, older iPhones and the original iPad are apparently out of luck. However, you will need 3GB of free space on your device to download and properly install iOS 7.
After I freed some space on my iPad I eagerly clicked the download button, located in Settings, and saw it would take about 15 minutes on my cable internet connection to download the 900MB installation file. After downloading, processing, and 'Verifying Update' I was presented with the error message you see above... it would appear that with millions of users attempting to install the upgrade Apple's servers are a bit overwhelmed.
So, it seems I need to sit tight and if you're getting an error message you too may just need to wait until the initial rush has subsided.
Were you able to upgrade your device? We'd love to hear how the process went and what time you upgraded.

Microsoft details the future of the Halo franchise
By Chris Wood
Microsoft details the future o...
Halo 5: Guardians, the new title from 343 Industries, will hit Xbox One next year
The company provided a glimpse at the new title at last year's E3 event
Microsoft and 343 Industries have announced details regarding the next major instalment in its ever-popular Halo series. We already knew that the game was heading to Xbox One, but the news sheds light on the title and release window for new entry, as well as details regarding the Spielberg-helmed live-action series that will accompany the game.
The first part of the announcement confirms the somewhat unsurprising news that we won't be seeing a brand new Halo title this year. Instead the next big franchise instalment will hit in fall 2015 with the title Halo 5: Guardians.
Beyond that, Microsoft has hinted at what to expect from the new game, stating that it runs on an all-new engine at a solid 60 fps. Given the ongoing battle of resolutions and frame-rates between Microsoft and Sony, it's not surprising that the company is keen to push the game's smooth frame rate. Though cynics will note that Microsoft didn't say a peep about resolution.
The 2012 title Halo 4 was developer 343 Industries' first swing at the popular franchise, with the game receiving a positive response (its Metacritic score is 87). Given the success of its first effort, the studio is keen to prove itself again, with the developer's general manager Bonnie Ross stating that "Halo 5: Guardians is a bigger effort than Halo 4."
There are no details on what form that larger scope will take, but the dev is keen to emphasize that it's taking full advantage of the much more powerful Xbox One hardware in an effort to provide that elusive "next-gen" experience we hear so much about.
In addition to the Halo 5: Guardians news, Microsoft has also announced that the franchise branded live-action television series, created in collaboration with Steven Spielberg, will also air in the (Northern Hemisphere) Fall of 2015. It's currently unknown how closely linked the two projects will be.
Perhaps the most interesting piece of news is the developer's comments on what to expect in 2014, as it stated that "the journey definitely begins in 2014 with a giant leap, rather than one small step."
This may be a reference to the much-rumoured re-release of 2004 series entry Halo 2. Microsoft released an anniversary edition of the first Halo title in 2011 to mark ten years since its release. With no new Halo title hitting this year, it makes sense that the company would do the same with the second installment.
However, the "giant leap" wording may lend credence to the rumour that the company will in fact release a Master Chief Collection, encompassing retooled versions of Halo 2, 3 and 4, as reported by Engadget.
Whatever the company's plans, we'll soon know a lot more, with full details about what to expect from the franchise coming at the Xbox E3 2014 media briefing on June 9.
In the mean time, scroll down to check out the E3 2013 Halo 5 teaser trailer.

I am disappointed that it will be more than a year for a new installment of HALO. My day one edition is coming up on a year old already and no HALO? I am still a full fledged supporter of Microsoft products but c'mon!
Ed May 19, 2014 03:53 PM
It looks like Master Chief is fighting a Gundam robot! I hope they bring Halo 5 to the 360! And they dump that gawd-awful music score from Halo 4 and get Marti O'Donnell now that he is no longer tied to Bungie!
Tommy Marriner May 20, 2014 12:36 PM
Oh another game Microsoft will not release on pc. sigh. As for the release date i hope its not a way to hype up a game that does not need it. I hope they plan to stick to the fictional universe they have created and stamp out the inconstancy's with some of the previous releases like "The end of Halo reach".
