Changing Seasons in Mahakulung

Chheskam, as viewed from Gudel
By Dilip Kulung
At the end of February, my people start preparing for the change in season. We gather firewood to cook meals and Himalayan bamboo to roof our homes. We build sheds for our pet animals and collect cooking items like salt, oil and sugar, which we cannot produce ourselves. Once we have collected and managed all necessary items for the approaching Summer, those that are physically capable head to the Everest region in search of a trekking job in early March.
The Kulung, one of Gurkha clan, are famous worldwide for being warriors of strength yet poor by wealth. You can guarantee that a Kulung will be smiling despite their hardship and the huge weight they carry on their shoulders while on the Everest trails. The ancestral home of the Kulung people is called the Mahakulung, which lies in the lap of Mount Everest. I love my home and honestly believe it looks like a piece of heaven in the summer season, surrounded by green farming lands and rolling hills.
In Spring, most parts of the Mahakulung look dry, but some parts are decorated by Himalayan blooming flowers like Rhododendrons and Orchids. Because Spring season is not too busy for farming, some of the Kulung women can be seen knitting traditional clothing on a large loom outside their houses. Anyone who is physically able is most likely on the Everest trails at this time. Only children and the elderly remain at home.
During Spring, my people bring their pet animals from the jungle to their field because it creates good dung manure for farming. You will hear people on the fields and at the sheds singing traditional songs in groups or by themselves. Hundreds of warbling birds join in adding to the joy.
By May, the Mahakulung valley looks green again as millets, maize, potatoes, wheat and barley mature. In June and July, Mahakulung looks so green as this is Summer season for us. My people are so busy during this time doing agriculture work. The Kulung will come back from the Everest trekking trails to assist their family members with their farming activities.
The Mahakulung has countless natural resources provided by our hilltops and worldwide known snow-capped mountains, from our meadows to our dense forests, including many important medicinal plants. But unfortunately, this area remains highly isolated from modern-day facilities. It's time for more people learn about our piece of heaven.

Dilip's Story
On 20/08/2015 20/08/2015 By leahdavies23In about, the filmmakers, the kulungLeave a comment
Dilip Kulung is a committed social activist who has been working the past 12 years to empower his people, the Kulung.
He was born and raised in Chheskam in Eastern Nepal, a village just a few kilometres south of Mount Everest in the territory called the Mahakulung.
The Mahakulung is geographically one of the most beautiful places in the world – perched at the earth's summit – but is also the ancestral home of the Kulung people who are a hidden and marginalised Nepalese ethnic group who are not yet legally recognised by the Nepalese government.
The Makakulung encompasses the Hongu valley in the Lower Everest region, comprising of the Gudel, Chheskam, Bung and Sotang villages, and is home to more than 21,000 people. Twice a year for the bi-annual trekking season, the Kulung leave their homes for up to three months during March – May and September – November to work as porters, cooks, house workers and vendors to support the Everest trekking industry.
"The Kulung are physically capable of carrying large loads – nearly as much their own body weight – on their backs at high altitudes. They also typically do domestic work in different hotels on the way to Everest Basecamp and run small trades on the same trail to Everest."
They do as much as 80% of the labour in the Everest region, but have not been rewarded with increased affluence or livelihoods.
Instead, they live in the shadows of Everest and the recent earthquakes, which almost wiped these villages off the map, have proven this even more so to be true.
"My people live a simple life. We live in a remote and highly isolated area away from the rest of the world and are not accessible by road. It can take some two days to reach our villages," explained Dilip.
"We are the major pillar for Everest tourism industry, but unfortunately, we are treated as the mountain's slave," Dilip explained.
"We face many challenges including high rates of poverty, vast unemployment, an unproductive farming system, a poor education set up, environmental threats and unsatisfactory healthcare. Despite all the difficulties though, we live from a place of peace, harmony and mutual respect."
"It's one of the characteristics that sets us apart actually," Dilip added. "We are positive in the face of adversity, smiling despite our troubles."
The Kulung people are the most primordial indigenous group in the country.
"We have a separate language, our own traditions and cultural attires, a distinct social structure and lifestyle, and our kindness to others sets us apart. The Nepalese government has not yet formally acknowledged our indigenous status but our lobbying efforts are getting us closer," he encouraged.
Earnestly campaigning and advocating for social change with and on behalf of his community, Dilip is currently working to provide urgent temporary shelter to the thousands of homeless families in the Lower Everest region following the twin earthquakes, which destroyed their homes.
"The monsoon season is almost here and the threat of avalanches, landslides and more aftershocks is very likely in the coming months."
"Under the collective leadership of more than 250 young volunteers, we are planning for the future. We are working to develop sustainable and shock resistant infrastructure across the region to withstand any future threat of a natural disaster."
"During recent years, we have successfully produced 45 kilowatt of electricity, erected a telephone tower, built taps with drinkable water and additional classrooms in our schools."
Carrying Everest is a film about the Kulung people of Eastern Nepal. Despite being one of Nepal's most sidelined and disadvantaged communities, they are also some of the most courageous and gifted people. Carrying Everest will tell their story.
Dilip explained what this film means to the Kulung.
"This film is a first for the Kulung. It will provide us with an opportunity to be truly heard; our voices, our lives, our perspectives. It is my hope that people from all corners of the world will feel compelled to support the Kulung and improve the quality of our current living situation. We have big hearts and much talent, but in the shadow of Everest, we remain unseen."
A Broken Equation: More tourists doesn't mean more income for the Kulung

By Leah Davies
The Kulung have been summiting the world's highest peak since base camp expeditions first took place in 1921. Not for a challenge, or an adventure. Not to remedy a midlife crisis or to fulfill a lifelong dream. The Kulung have put their life on the line, braving the notoriously treacherous conditions of Everest for more than 90 years, twice a year, purely to earn an income to support their families.
They make the life-threatening trip up to 40 times per season out of survival.
On the Everest trail, you will see approximately 8,000 Kulung working as porters, carrying loads of fuel, food, ropes, oxygen tanks, and tents for their climber clients. You will also see them working as cooks, store hands and housekeepers, making the ascent as comfortable and convenient for the 30,000 tourists, which make the visit each year.
Placed at 145 out of 187 countries in the world on the UN's 2014 human development report, the Nepalese government is reputably corrupt and the nation, living well below poverty levels.
The Nepalese people are very poor and for the Kulung, Everest represents opportunity – but at a severe cost.
Responsible for about 80% of the labour that supports the Everest trekking industry, the Kulung earn approximately $12 a day. After paying for their own meals and lodging on the trail, porters might only take $74 home to their families after a 13-day trek.
A look at the per capita income in Nepal will show you that on average, a Nepalese person earns less than $800 a year, while a porter will make on average $5,000 for two to three months of work (Source: Mark Jenkins, National Geographic, 2014).
The numbers speak for themselves.
Outside western guide groups however – who lead and manage increasingly more expeditions – earn about ten times the income of the Kulung, making up to $50,000 to $100,000 for guiding on Everest.
Exploited for their cheap labour, the Kulung know the odds are stacked against them and have accepted this reality for a long time now.
The Kulung know the land. They have a unique affinity with the sacred earth they have called home for generations upon generations, yet the government still does not recognise their indigenous ancestry and connection to the Mahakulung region, and poor policies and procedures allow for external mountaineer companies to occupy and dominate their industry.
The tragic death of 16 porters in 2014 on the Nepali side of Everest highlighted this and led to a referendum of risks by those who work on the mountain.
The injustice of the risk balanced with the very little reward was finally put under a global microscope.
Following the avalanche and the grief of their loss, porters in Nepal refused to climb for the rest of the season until the government listened to their demands. Among their demands were medical and life insurance, guaranteed pay during poor weather conditions and adequate compensation to the families who lost a loved one in the icefall. The government declared the mountain officially closed and 300 climbers returned home last year.
National Geographic also revealed that every climber pays a $10,000 peak fee to Nepal's Ministry of Tourism but almost all of this money disappears either into the hands of the Nepali bureaucracy or into the pockets of government bureaucrats.
Conrad Anker, a three-time Everest summiteer and leader of the 2012 National Geographic/the North Face Everest expedition said: "I'd bet less than one percent of the three million dollars in permit fees collected each year goes back to the mountain."
After receiving $3.2 million in mountaineering fees from Everest climbers in 2014, the government increased life insurance premiums from 400,000 rupees ($4,000) to one million rupees ($10,000), offered an additional small compensation of $400 per family, and instituted minor changes on the mountain, including slightly increasing the presence of officials at Base Camp. Long-term support including funds to educate children of the deceased porters and the cost of living stipends for the widows came from coordinated efforts of a number of non-profit organisations instead (Norbu Tenzing Norgay, Outside Online, 2015).
For the first time in August last year, 40 porters of differing expertise and experience came together to discuss the issues faced by workers of Everest. Historically, porters have not been consulted on their opinion in an industry that is progressively governed by international climbers and expedition companies. At this meeting, the porters made seven recommendations including greater access to professional training opportunities, the need to reform overly-competitive business practices that encourage cuts in price and safety, and the necessity to introduce better employment practices.
While this is the reality for the Kulung people of Nepal, and the fight continues, there are countless tales telling of conquest over the world's tallest mountain.
Stories of courage, passion and of noble people striving for a better life and future.
We have the ability to change the story.
To change it from one of deprivation and exploitation, to one rich with opportunity, ancient knowledge and the power of the heart.
Will you help change the story?
To put in frame: the goal of Carrying Everest

Discourse is plentiful on what is contained within the frame, but often it is what sits just out of shot that is lending the scene shape and form. The same is true for the Kulung of Eastern Nepal. Despite the countless books, films and musical tales of conquest and endeavour, little has been spoken of those behind these tales. Without the porters, shopkeepers and teahouse workers – there would be very few gallant tales to be shared around the proverbial campfire, thousands of kilometres away in foreign lands. The story of the conquest Everest continues to play, decades after Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay's famous ascent, and often it is told in Western treatises. Modern day Everest travel/mountain-writing (and film) continues to define relationships strictly in terms of conquerer and mountain, climber and porter, employer and employee.
In 2014, out of friendship and curiosity, I resolved to to make a documentary about one of these 'forgotten' people of Everest. The concept is not an attempt to alleviate a perceived deficiency in Western conversation about the Everest subject. The intent, rather, is to spark the flicker of a flame.
In 2013, I visited Nepal for the first time. A friend who I worked with at Oxfam put me in touch with two fantastic people whom I met in back-alley cafe of Thamel, the main tourist trap in Nepal's chaotic capital of Kathmandu. Over a couple of aptly-titled Everest beers, we discussed what it was like living in Nepal and how they were working to improve the lives of those around them. One of these two courageous men was named Dilip, who told me about the hardships his people face in the Solukhumbu region of Nepal. This discussion consequently sowed a seed in my heart and mind – I wanted to discover more, and find a way to help.
Shortly after my trip to Nepal, I filmed the short narrative Kiana. After a couple of film festivals and nearly two years of writing, rehearsing, filming and editing, I took a short break from filmmaking. But when the drive to venture back to that world returned, I could think of only one project I wanted to do: to share the story of those living in the shadows of Sagarmatha.

In many respects, the idea of a creating a documentary is more daunting than a narrative fiction. With narrative form, you have the chance to shape the film with a script – to know exactly what you need and have the ability to identify how that is to happen. In the instance of Carrying Everest, the starting point is less clear. While some documentaries have a wealth of background to draw from – for example a historical event – this film started with a brief conversation in Kathmandu regarding an issue I had never heard of. As I began to try and research the Kulung and where they lived, I noticed just how little literature in English was available. There were a couple of sites on the internet that spoke of the issues Dilip mentioned, and these I read thoroughly. I managed to find one or two anthropological texts, including one by Charles McDougal which was published in 1979. But the majority of other material was either in a language other than English or out of print. Eventually I was able to hone my research the more I learnt; as I began to learn about village names, issues, themes and so forth, I began to locate articles, blogs and photos of the place I had only read about.
As such, I am largely indebted to Heema Rai, who wrote a fantastic blog about her travel to and observations of Mahakulung. Her photos were some of the first images I saw of the region, while her writing articulated- and in turn bound the loose understanding I had in my mind – the issues the Kulung face. It was also Heema's writing that inspired the name Carrying Everest, such a fantastic and concise description of a complicated issue.
But there is excitement in creating a documentary where there is little background information. And importantly, it emphasises not just the physical isolation of the Kulung, but the social and political inequality they face.
In truth, I see the value in maintaining an open approach to the filming. Thinking reflexively, it is far better for the Kulung to tell their own story. It would be a failure and mistake to attempt to conceptualise what the film is about in this circumstance. That is not to say that this would be a failed methodology, however, it is more applicable to another type of documentary.
The main purpose the film is to allow them to share their stories, their hopes, their struggles and their triumphs. Having a limited research background is far from a negative thing with this context in mind.
Ultimately, the film's central question is 'who are the Kulung?' The aim is to seek the many answers to this inquiry, and in turn, allow their stories to be a catalyst for the change they strive for.

Since brands began their "invasion" (we all know consumers felt this way at times) of Instagram, digital marketers have been feeling the pain. There is no way to post seamlessly through the Instagram platform for multiple accounts. It's led many down the path of testing third party apps, and many particularly into frustration. And typically both.
Now with the announcement of android multi-user beta testing in play, it could be a whole new playing field. What does this mean?
Ease of handling multiple accounts. This doesn't just mean personal and professional (but it does for many of us). It also means for agency and multi-brand folks, the ability to jump from one product line to the next without having to log out.
Assuming this allows for multi-login alerts at the same time, it would provide marketers with easier listening and in turn engagement with the target market.
Saving hashtags, because when you logout, you lose the ability to auto-fill your most recently used hashtags.
But for now we wait. We wait for the beta test to expand to iPhone and to all Instagram users (rather than just beta testers). We wait for Instagram to give us what we've been hoping for … for far too long.

It took my a while to find out -force finds system hidden files but even so it's not displaying anything like the full list of stuff that navigating to the same location in Windows Explorer shows. What am I missing?
NB: I'm a real PowerShell neophyte, I'll probably have to search any cmdlet/property mentioned in an answer to figure out what has been said

A: IE/Edge Cookies are not really saved to the "\Temporary Internet Files\" Folder. They life in the "\cookies\" folder. This folder can be dynamic (set and changed per profile).
Check out this solution from the ScriptingGuy. It has some example code to get the current folder from the reistry also.

Serious about research, developing repertoire.
The music in this recording was composed by Henri Joseph De Croes. It was discovered only a few years ago in the Thurn and Taxis Court Library at Regensburg and has never been recorded before. The Divertimenti and Douze Morceaux were originally intended to amuse, that is to say they were used as background music at entertainments, parties and banquets.
This was perfectly normal in the 18th century. Nor is it anything unusual in our own day and age. Never before have we listened so much to music and very often this music serves as a background whether we are in the car, at home or in public.
What makes De Croes's music so special is its remarkable quality and virtuosity. De Croes was the Kapellmeister of the court orchestra of Regensburg, one of the three leading orchestras of eighteenth century Europe. De Croes combines the airily playful and convoluted court music with the rational forms of classicism and sensibility of the early romantic period.

Shimano's Ill-Fated Biopace Validated in University Study
In an interesting turn of events, Shimano's much-maligned Biopace chainring technology appears to have gained a new lease on life as a result of recent findings published from a recent study conducted at Université Joseph Fourier, in Grenoble, France.
Contrary the court of public opinion, researchers found that Shimano's Biopace chainrings vastly increase a rider's ability to maintain threshold power over standard and current elliptical chainrings. Biopace is a type of ovoid bicycle chain ring manufactured by Shimano from 1983 to 1993. The design was intended to help overcome the "dead zone" where the crank arms are vertical and riders have little mechanical advantage.
However, as recently brought to light, Biopace actually excels at engaging muscles in a more linear fashion, from hip to toe, encouraging a pedal stroke that actually works in concert with the body's lymph system, facilitating faster lymph circulation.
For a time, nearly every Shimano-equipped mountian bike sported Biopace chainrings.
Poole and his researchers spent six months on their initial study, incorporating several different testing groups to reduce sampling error.
What does this mean? Without regular contractions of the leg muscles, lymph can't return to the upper body readily, and collects in the lower legs, producing uncomfortable swelling, called edema. While pedaling with a non-Biopace chainring still facilitates lymph circulation, researchers were surprised to find that Biopace rings increased lymph circulation by a margin of 26-percent over other chainrings. From a performance standpoint, lymph represents a portion of the blood, meaning that if lymph weren't returned to circulation through the action of muscles, blood volume would decrease.
"In simple terms, Biopace allows riders to flush lymph in a way that isn't unlike the methods used by masseurs on professional racers after races," explained Dr. Jéan Poole, lead researcher on the project. "The only difference, is that with Biopace, riders reap the benefits while they are still on the bike, allowing them to ride harder, for a longer duration."
Specializing in the fields of sciences, technologies and health, the Université Joseph Fourier encourages post-graduate researchers to adopt projects that align with their own interests, leading a group of students with cycling backgrounds to revisit Shimano's Biopace chainring technology and its effects.
By helping to increase a rider's effective blood volume, Biopace allows riders to ride at their lactate threshold for longer durations, posing serious performance benefits.
Spurred by the recent increase in popularity of elliptical chainrings, researchers were keen to examine the differences between such current chainrings and their predecessors, namely Shimano's Biopace, which never gained widespread popularity and was largely dismissed as a technological flop and a failure.
After being approached with the findings, however Shimano Inc. has expressed its intent to revisit Biopace.
"While we will take our time to evaluate the findings put forth by Dr. Poole and his team, we are very intrigued and will seriously consider incorporating Biopace options into our current road and mountain product lineups," said Shimano Road product manager David Lawrence in a press release Monday.
Happy with the initial findings of their study, Dr. Poole and his team have already begun another round of testing to further validate their conclusions.
Shimano has also made public in the same press release that it has devoted a full-time engineer to the project who will reside in France and will pay close attention to the findings.

Kubernetes Acquires Heptio to Provide a Containerized Kubernetes Distribution System
By Apac CIO Outlook | Monday, December 03, 2018
VMware, a subsidiary of Dell technologies which provides cloud computing and platform virtualization services announced that it is acquiring Heptio, a company which provides support for an open kubernetes ecosystem. The decision to acquire Heptio comes as an effort by VMware to extend its reach into containerized applications. Kubernetes was originally designed by Google and is now managed by Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Kubernetes is the fastest growing software infrastructure platform in the IT industry today. Heptio focused on creating an upstream Kubernetes distribution instead of creating another sanctioned Kubernetes distribution. Heptio expertise in building tools to validate an on-premise customer's Kubernetes environment. The decision to acquire Heptio comes as the VMware's effort to extend its reach into clusters based on kubernetes.
IT organizations are looking for options as kubernetes distribution service providers are providing many extensions to run an application. For example, VMware includes VMware NSX network virtualization software as the instance with PKS. IT organizations need to standardize on a specific kubernetes distribution network to run their application on a cluster as applications that run on different distributions are already portable. To extend a company's data security, storage, and networking services, VMware is deploying kubernetes on top of a virtual network. Acquiring Heptio has made VMware a kubernetes force to reckon with. This move will extend its command over enterprise IT as companies are slowly moving towards containers running on kubernetes. VMware has been constantly providing support to organizations whenever and wherever it is required.
Paul Fazzone, senior vice president and general manager for the Cloud Native Apps Business Unit at VMware, said " Heptio technologies will be employed to advance both the Pivotal Container Service (PKS), a distribution of Kubernetes optimized for VMware environments developed in collaboration with sister company Pivotal Software, and the portfolio of VMware management tools that can be applied to multiple distributions."

Q: Can we force SignalR to use long polling connection method We are currently using signalR in our application. It works great if I am the only one using the application, but it completely breaks when more than two person using the application simultaneously.
This happens due to the limitation in IIS concurrent connection.
IIS Concurrent Requests Limit

Windows 8 (Basic edition) -   3
Windows 8 Professional, Enterprise - 10
Windows 7 Home Starter -1
Windows 7 Basic - 1
Windows 7 Premium - 3
Windows 7 Ultimate, Professional, Enterprise - 10
Windows Vista Home Basic (IIS process activation and HTTP processing
  only) - 3
Windows Vista Home Premium - 3
Windows Vista Ultimate, Professional, Enterprise - 10
Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2 and
  Windows
Server 2012 allow an unlimited amount of simultaneously requests.*

Now I want to force the signalR to use the Long Polling connection in order to overcome the IIS limitation. Is there any way to force the connection method?

A: Yes you can.
connection.start({ transport: 'longPolling' });

Check Specifying a transport.
Also I suggest you to use SignalR Self-Host which is not using IIS limits because of OWIN.
Check here also.

Paretroplus maculatus ist eine Buntbarschart, die im nordwestlichen Madagaskar in den Einzugsbereichen der Flüsse  Betsiboka und Mahajamba in der Region Ambato-Boeni vorkommt. Die IUCN stuft den Bestand der Art als vom Aussterben bedroht ein.

Merkmale

Paretroplus maculatus kann eine maximale Standardlänge von 15 cm erreichen. Der Rumpf ist seitlich abgeflacht, oval und im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Paretroplus-Arten relativ hochrückig. Das Kopfprofil ist gebogen. Der Körper ist mit großen, regelmäßig angeordneten Rundschuppen bedeckt. An den Basen von Rücken- und Afterflosse formen sie schuppige Scheiden. An der Bauchmittellinie sind die Schuppen deutlich kleiner. Die zwei Drittel bis drei Viertel des oberen und unteren Schwanzflossenbereichs sind mit kleinen Schuppen besetzt. Auch die Kiemendeckel sind beschuppt. Die Schnauze ist unbeschuppt.

Paretroplus maculatus hat an den Flanken eine auffällige Zeichnung, die aus abwechselnden hellen (blassgoldbraunen, gelbgrünen oder graugrünen) und dunklen (dunkle oliv bis dunkel rotbraun) Streifen besteht. Die Streifen sind bei Jungfischen deutlich ausgeprägt und werden mit zunehmendem Alter immer schwächer, bis sie kaum noch wahrzunehmen sind. Hinter der Brustflossenbasis liegt ein quadratischer bis abgerundeter schwarzer Fleck, dessen Höhe etwa 4 Schuppenreihen beträgt und der nach oben in der Regel nicht bis zur vorderen Seitenlinie reicht. Kiemendeckel und Kehle sind goldbraun, goldgrün oder rötlich. Die Schwanzflosse ist schwärzlich. Die Ränder von Rücken-, After- und Schwanzflosse sind rot. Die Brustflossen sind dunkelgrau oder schwarz. Jungfische zeigen bis zu einer Standardlänge von ca. 30 mm eine Camouflagezeichnung mit großen goldbraunen Flecken. Abgesehen von den etwas längeren und am Ende spitzeren unpaaren Flossen der Männchen unterscheiden sich die Geschlechter nicht.

 Flossenformel: Dorsale XV–XVIII/16–20, Anale VIII–X/13–16.
 Schuppenformel: SL 34–39.
 Wirbel: 14 + 18, 14 + 19 o. 15 + 18.

Lebensweise
Paretroplus maculatus lebt sowohl in Flüssen als auch in Seen und Überschwemmungsflächen. Wie alle Paretroplus-Arten ist die Art ein Allesfresser, der sich vor allem von wasserbewohnenden Wirbellosen und allerlei pflanzlichem Material ernährt. Er ist ein Substratlaicher und bildet eine Elternfamilie.

Gefährdung und Schutz
Die Weltnaturschutzunion stuft die Art als vom Aussterben bedroht ein. Sie war ein beliebter Speisefisch in Madagaskar. Infolgedessen nahm der Bestand stark ab. Zu den Bedrohung zählen zudem Habitatverlust und invasive Arten wie vor allem Asiatische Schlangenkopffische (Channa). Paretroplus maculatus ist im Nationalpark Ankarafantsika verbreitet. Dort wurde die Fischerei am Ravelobe-See beschränkt, allerdings konnte die Fischart dort bei der letzten Untersuchung im Jahr 2011 nicht mehr festgestellt werden. Der See ist durch Bewuchs der Dickstieligen Wasserhyazinthe (Eichhornia crassipes), der zu Lichtmangel und einem Absterben der Wasserpflanzen und infolgedessen der Fische führt, beeinträchtigt.

Monte Fitz Roy, též Cerro Chaltén, je hora o výšce 3405 metrů nad mořem, ležící na východ od jihopatagonského ledovcového pole na hranici mezi Argentinou a Chile, v Patagonii, nedaleko vesnice El Chaltén. Hornatá skupina, ke které patří, tvoří jeden z velkých nunataků jižního patagonského ledu. Na argentinské straně se nachází v národním parku Los Glaciares a na chilské straně v národním parku Bernardo O'Higgins.

Popis
Název Chaltén pochází z mapučského slova znamenajícího "kouřící hora", protože se nad horou, pokud je vůbec vidět, vytváří oblaka. Hora je také ve znaku Santacruzské provincie.

Název Cerro FitzRoy pochází od Francisca Morena, který ji roku 1877 pojmenoval po Robertu FitzRoyovi. Hora byla poprvé slezena roku 1952 francouzským alpinistou Lionelem Terrayem a Guido Magnonem.

Hora má pověst "nedostupného vrcholu". Přestože je její výška poměrně nevýznamná, mezi vrcholy Národního parku Los Glaciares je nejvyšší. Její strmé žulové stěny jsou technicky velmi náročné, ročně je hora slezena jen několika málo jednotlivci.

Dnes se region otevírá turistickému ruchu a povědomí o národním parku je také mnohem větší než dříve. Cerro Chaltén svým malebným a majestátním tvarem přitahuje velké množství turistů a fotografů.

Professional models are often the brunt of jokes for the lack of talent and skill required to do their job (i.e. Zoolander). I mean, how much does it take to stand up there and look beautiful - especially when you're already a fine specimen of good looks?
Well, look no further than amateur glamour photography and see the sharp distinction. The photographer's resources are limited, and the "models" are completely clueless as to what it takes to "strike a pose". It's a recipe that beckons for a Retrospace post.
I'm sure a lot of you would rather just have the unadulterated photos, but I went and had a little fun with them. I tried to get into the mind of the photographer and his subjects. Alas, pictures are just pictures; any words spoken are lost to the mists time. Here's what I imagine the accompanying audio would sound like.
Great stuff. Can't wait until the next installment.
Ah yes, reminds me of good old Gallery Magazine, which featured the very nice yet very amateur Girls next door section.
Some of those girls are really pretty, but they sure need some direction on posing.
Why was plastic fruit so popular in homes of the 60s and 70s ?
Andy Rooney had a piece abut home magazine photos on 60 Minutes many years ago. "Now who in the world actually has plastic fruit in their bathroom?"
Because real fruit gets rotten.
That was good fun. Thanks and find some more.

President Trump Delays ICE Raids By Two Weeks
By Alec Larson
and Ethan Weston
The operation, originally slated to start Sunday, would target migrant families who have been court-ordered to leave the country.
President Donald Trump says he's delaying planned immigration raids by two weeks.
The raids were expected to begin in 10 U.S. cities on Sunday. President Trump said Saturday the delay comes "at the request of Democrats" and is aimed at finding a solution to the "Asylum and Loophole problems at the Southern Border."
An unnamed official told CNN that any arrested families will stay in ICE "residential detention" while the agency works with consulates to get travel documents.
President Trump tweeted the first information about the raids on Monday, saying: "Next week ICE will begin the process of removing the millions of illegal aliens who have illicitly found their way into the United States. They will be removed as fast as they come in."
In a statement released on Friday, ICE said it would not share any "specific details" until the operations are finished. But the agency is reportedly planning on detaining families who have already gone through legal proceedings and received court-ordered removal requests. That number is reportedly around 2,000 people.

LYON (euronews) — The head of the International Police Organisation, Interpol, has warned of the continued threat of the so-called Islamic State.
In an exclusive interview with NBC's Keir Simmons, Secretary General, Jürgen Stock, said the danger posed by the terrorist group was still "immediate, complex and more international than ever". His comments come just weeks after US President Donald Trump, announced his troops' withdrawal from Syria because, he said, the so-called Islamic State group had been defeated.

Q: The functions within if-else condition of the login function fail to get called I'm trying to build an ATM program, where a user creates their account and uses the same to make deposits and withdrawal as well as check their account balance.
I've put the whole program so you can run and try it, in case I'm clear about my issue:
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

void printIntroMenu ();
void printMainMenu ();
void start ();
void login ();
void createAccount ();

char menuInput;
int user;
int password;
float a;
float totalAmount = 0.0;

int
main ()
{
  cout << "Hi! Welcome to Mr. Zamar's ATM Machine! \n \n";
  start ();
  return 0;
}

void
printIntroMenu ()
{
  switch (menuInput)
    {
    case 'l':
      login ();
      break;

    case 'c':
      createAccount ();
      break;

    case 'q':
      exit (0);
      break;

    default:
      cout << "Error! The selected option is not correct";
      break;
    }
}

void
printMainMenu ()
{

  switch (menuInput)
    {
    case 'd':
      cout << "Enter the amount to be deposited: ";
      cin >> a;

      break;

    case 'w':
      cout << "Enter the amount to be withdrawn: ";
      cin >> a;
      cout << "Amount of the withdrawal: " << a;
      break;

    case 'r':
      if (menuInput == 'd')
    {
      totalAmount = totalAmount + a;
      cout << "Your balance is : " << totalAmount;
    }
      else if (menuInput == 'w')
    {
      totalAmount = totalAmount - a;
      cout << "Your balance is : " << totalAmount;
    }
      break;

    case 'q':
      exit (0);
      break;

    }
}

void
start ()
{
  cout <<
    "\n \n Please select an option from the menu below: \n l -> login \n c -> Create a new account \n q -> Quit ";
  cin >> menuInput;
  cout << " \n >> " << menuInput;

}

void

    << user << " password is " << password;
  start ();
}

void
login ()
{

  int userid;
  int pass;

  cout << "\n\n Please enter your username: ";
  cin >> userid;
  cout << "\n Please enter your password: ";
  cin >> pass;

/*
The part below in the if else doesn't execute the functions printMainMenu and start.
As soon as a user logins using the id and password, they created the program ends.
Is there some call by value or call by reference method to avoid this problem
*/

  if (userid == user && pass == password)
    {
      cout << "\n\n **************** LOGIN SUCCESSFUL ******************\n\n";
      printMainMenu ();
    }
  else
    {
      cout << "\n\n **************** LOGIN FAILED ****************** \n\n";
      start ();
    }

}

A: int user;
int password;

You can not store a user name or password in a integer.
Use std::string user; or char [100] user;
This will not work for string comparison:
if (userid == user && pass == password)

Change your code to use string comparison functions for char [].
if ((strcmp(userid , user) == 0) && (strcmp(pass, password) == 0))

or for std::string
if (userid.compare(user) == 0)

You input will work but can be improved with cin.get(user, 100); or getline(cin, user);

The Presentation in the Temple plaque is a beautiful representation of this important event. This plaque shows Mary handing the Christ child to Simeon. Mary and Simeon's postures illustrate love and devotion as they lean forward with the Christ child between. The beauty of this plaque is inherent in the details, from the clothing of Mary and Simeon, to the carpet beneath their feet, to baby Jesus with his arms outstretched and the tracings of a halo around his head. The three-dimensional aspect lends a deeper beauty.
"On the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him, he was named Jesus, the name the angel had given him before he had been conceived. When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord (as it is written in the Law of the Lord, 'Every firstborn male is to be consecrated to the Lord'), and to offer a sacrifice in keeping with what is said in the Law of the Lord: 'a pair of doves or two young pigeons.

Q: getting preferences for ReadReceiptRequested and OriginatorDeliveryReportRequested from MailItem without triggering Outlook Security Patch I would like to use Redemption library (currently on version 5.27.0.6916) to get preferences for properties ReadReceiptRequested and OriginatorDeliveryReportRequested by creating a new MailItem in Inbox Folder and reading them.
Accessing them via Outlook Object Model (OOM) interop triggers the Outlook Security Patch, resulting in a confirmation dialog/security prompt (strangely enough, this only seems to happen in a terminalserver session).
I tried to use SafeMailItem, but those properties are not implemented.
I have a fallback to read from registry, but is there a way to do this with Redemption?
And is there an explanation for why this would only happen in a terminalserver session?
`
var mailItem = Folders.NewItem<MailItem>(Stores.Get(accountId), DefaultFolders.Inbox);

try
{
    return new CMailPreferences
    {
        DeliveryReceiptRequested = mailItem.OriginatorDeliveryReportRequested,
        ReadReceiptRequested = mailItem.ReadReceiptRequested,
    };
}
finally
{
    Marshal.ReleaseComObject(mailItem);
}

`

A: You can try to create an instance of the RDOSession object (once, not in a loop) and call RDOSession.GetRDOObjectFromOutlookObject(mailItem) to open the item as RDOMail object.

Simon du Bosc, religieux français, abbé de Cerisy, puis cinquante-huitième abbé de Jumièges de 1391 à sa mort le . Il assiste à plusieurs conciles où il se distingue par son éloquence et la droiture de son jugement.

Biographie
Originaire d'une ancienne famille de Rouen, fils de Mathieu du Bosc, il est docteur en droit canon. Il devient successivement prieur de Saint-Martin-de-Sigey, abbé de Saint-Vigor de Cerisy, camérier du pape, et enfin abbé de Jumièges.

En 1407 le roi Charles VI le nomme parmi les ambassadeurs qui négocient l'entrevue de Savone entre les papes Benoît XIII et Grégoire XII, pour mettre un terme au Grand Schisme d'Occident, démarche qui échoue. Il participe comme ambassadeur du roi et député de l'Université de Paris au concile de Pise en 1409, qui ne résout pas la crise en élisant un troisième pape, Alexandre V. Il reçoit alors de ce nouveau pape le droit d'user de la mitre, de l'anneau, et des ornements pontificaux pour les abbés de Jumièges.

Simon du Bosc participe activement au concile de Constance (1414-1418). Il prêche plusieurs fois contre la pratique de l'Eucharistie préconisée par Jean Hus et se distingue par son zèle pour l'union de l'Église et la lutte contre les hérésies. Le concile parvient à résoudre la crise en 1417 après la déposition des papes de Pise et d'Avignon et la démission de celui de Rome Grégoire XII. Simon meurt à Paris le  alors que la guerre entre le roi de France et le roi d'Angleterre déchire la Normandie. L'année même de sa mort, l'abbaye de Jumièges est mise à sac par les Anglais et les moines doivent se réfugier à Rouen. Nicolas Le Roux lui succède.

MC Escher, the artist more popularly known for his never-ending staircases and for snubbing the Rolling Stones – will present his first major exhibition in London. Escher's instantly recognizable images have sold in millions and been widely imitated in advertising, opens this week at the Dulwich Picture Gallery in London. While his work is adored by most, he is infamously known for snubbing the Rolling Stones when they requested an album cover – and by mathematicians, doctors and dentists but always been ignored by museums and major galleries, the curators say.
There is currently only one Escher in any UK public collection – at the Hunterian in Glasgow, a print that was left on a geography professor's office wall.However look at any humble student's abode and you would almost surely find a poster of a Escher's hands drawing each other, or his glum figures trudging up an impossible staircase turning at right angles and continuing wearyingly upwards into eternity.
Escher was known to hate his new fame when San Francisco hippies began pirating his work in the 1960s, and declined to create a Stones album cover because he was offended when the letter from Mick Jagger addressed him by his first name, Maurits.
Two young mathematicians who became among the most famous in the world, the Briton Roger Penrose and the late Canadian HSM Coxeter, were his biggest fans. Escher in turn was inspired by Penroses's perspectival triangle and Coxeter's work on crystal symmetry. The exhibition in London will feature some of Escher's pencilled notes on an essay by Coxeter in the transactions and proceedings of the Royal Society of Canada, and the four increasingly complex prints he made emulating the crystal forms. He wrote thanking Coxeter for the essay, but insisted it was "much too learned for a simple, self-made plane-pattern man like me".
The exhibition will also cover his meticulous drawings of Italian landscapes and Moorish tiles to his final print, of snakes writhing through a disc of chain mail, made in 1969, three years before his death.

Austin Drew Smith better known by his stage name, Dj Bloody Flame or (Formely Auss&Awss, Fieryblood and Bloodyflame) is an American DJ and Music Producer from St. Charles Illinois. Born in Hartford, CT and Raised in Hudson, Ohio, and moved to Saint Charles, Illinois at age 9. Since birth he had a passion for music. He got the idea of being a Dj and Producer when he started listening to Daft Punk and he always loved watching djs on field day in his elementary school. he enjoyed seeing them mix and scratch on their turntables. It wasn't until age 17 that he realized his dream was to be a musician, when he started getting more into the electronic scene as well as other genres due to a DS game called Dj Star that he bought at age 16 under his old Nickname Auss&Awss before he changed it to what his name is today. He grew up listening to the beatles. His passion for music grew stronger with Age. At age 10 he got a synthesizer as a gift from sharper image. He joined Soundcloud in 2017 after he wanted the world to hear his music. Starting in October 2014 he started going to Absolute music which you can see on his iconic hat. Absolute music was how he became who he is today. For the Christmas of 2014 the same year he started going to absolute music he was given an SSb pioneer dj controller in which he uses at the comfort of his own home to remix and crossfade music with a site called Serato. In 2013 he was introduced to the app Edjing and the program Virtual DJ which he no longer uses Virtual DJ cuz Serato caught his eye. In 2012 and 2014 he was introduced to incredibox, GarageBand and Logic in which he uses to create his own songs. 2 yrs later in late 2016 he was introduced to the app Voice Synth which is what he uses to create that robotic low voice with the arpeggiated sound used in some of his songs.Born with natural rhythm his technique to create good songs was a no brainer to him as well as his crossfading and transitioning and song mashing skills He uses both the Producing and the Djing techniques to create great remixes. Serato, Edjing, Logic Garageband, Voice Synth and Incredibox, are the programs and apps as well as equipment that he depends his life on. His first song was Super Mario Forever a reference to the popular video game by using both logic to create the 2 elements of the song and then crossfaded them and made them into one using Serato with his controller. Most of his life was filled with Drama throughout his school days and now. He uses his music as a distraction from his everyday problems. He sports his iconic look including the Cap, A brown flannel plaid shirt with a T- shirt underneath that has part of his logo on the left side of it (or any open shirt and underneath T-shirt in general), a chain with 2 dog tags on it with a flame on the first tag and a dragon that says Karate on the other tag to represent the elements of his name which the first one represents fire and the second one represents blood (because its Martial arts and sometimes that could get gory)as well as the shirt pin on the left corner of his shirt that says Music is My Life representing his passion for the culture itself, black rubber wristband which is engraved with the words Dream Big Work Hard meaning u have to work for what truly matters to u , a watch, Fitbit and casual kahkis. His name derives from what he considers to be the elements of his Past , Blood and Fire. He originally changed Auss&Awss to the name Fieryblood but he thought that was too corny and wouldn't stand out. He then changed it to Bloodyflame in 2014 when he got the 5th generation iPod Touch and had Siri call him that. Close to the End of 2016 he added DJ to his name and lower cased the J in the prefix. As 2017 hit he decided to put a space between bloody and flame and he capitalize the F in flame. At that point he took the name of Dj Bloody Flame. It wasn't until 2018 he started to mix every program and app he was introduced to in his music. He is also known for his Michael Jackson dance moves in which he was the best dancer in a talent show for his school back in early 2015, he enjoys entertaining others with his talents in music and arts, he uses humor and many other things as well to make his life satisfying and the people around him to feel comfortable. He has worked in a lot of places that involved customers in which he likes entertaining them due to the fact that his communication skills will go great with his turntable gigs. He creates and he mixes so its basically like the best of both worlds. Everyday he tries to improve his life under one Motto " Give the word that we are living in the future of music" a reference to Daft Punk's song Give life back to music and Daft punk`s line "past is the word now we are living in the future'' from a song called Computerized by Jay Z ft Daft Punk. The song Human After all by Daft Punk is the main song that inspired him and has made many daft punk references in his debut which was released on March 8th 2018 4 months after his first 2 EPs, Hot Splatter and Internal Virus which were both released on October 8th, 2017 in which Hot Splatter included Super Mario Forever as the 5th song. Later on in November his EPs Fearful Dream and Old School came out in which Old School was a reference to several retro decades in each song. He considered Black Tears to be his first official album since his EPs in 2017.

Phillipe Padovani has resurrected the L'Uraku-Elua-Sapori location on Kapiolani as his new Padovani's Grill.
In case your head is spinning, here's the rundown. In 2007, attorney Keith Kiuchi and chefs Philippe Padovani and Donato Loperfido turned the old L'Uraku location on Kapiolani into Elua. Elua means two, because both chefs, one French, the other Italian, would be cooking. No one questions Padovani's and Donato's separate talents, but it did not seem a marriage made in heaven.
Padovani proceeded to land two long-term consulting gigs, in China and then in Mauritius, so by the end of 2009, Donato solo had transformed the restaurant into Sapori. The restaurant got good reviews, (see ours), but never much of a following.
By the end of 2010, Donato was pau with Sapori. "I am positively and completely out of the restaurant business," he says, "spending more time with my family and focusing on Flavors of Italy." Flavors of Italy is Donato's wine and high-end beer wholesale business.
With Donato gone, there was still the lease to contend with. The landlord wanted a restaurant in the luxury condo tower. So Padovani, who of course has his booming chocolate business, came back into the fray.
He came up with a simple concept: a grill. Steaks, seafood, sort of a less expensive Ruth's Chris, with a French touch.
A simple grill may seem a stretch to those who remember the elaborate fare of his Padovani's Bistro, but back in the early '90s, Padovani presided over one of the best grills I've ever encountered, at the Ritz-Carlton Mauna Lani (now the Fairmount Orchid).
The food at the new restaurant? Close to perfect. There are French touches on the appetizer menu, like a duck foie gras pate with haricot vert and asparagus in a light vinaigrette (left). And there's gnocchi light as clouds in a totally controlled fresh tomato and mushroom sauce.
Here's the kicker: great Black Angus New York steaks at $28. Because the chef is French, the sauces are made a la minute, a red wine truffle sauce, for instance, that actually tastes like truffles. Or a Bearnaise so well-wrought that it flows like slow lava out of its pitcher. "Making a Bearnaise this good is as simple as catching a bullet in your teeth," said my dining companion.
Sides are better than your standard steakhouse sides, as well: a fricassee of Hamakua mushrooms, fresh haricot vert, roasted fingerling potatoes.
Best of all: There's a cheese cart for after dinner, only $18, with a Roquefort, a triple cream and more.
Danny Matsushita, who used to work for Padovani's Bistro, drove by, saw Philippe was back in the kitchen and signed up immediately to work the floor. He matched the courses with wines, like the Jean Reverdy, Sancerre, La Reine Blanche with the appetizers and the Provenance merlot with the steak.
He couldn't find a wine in current stock to match the cheese, so he mixed us up a cocktail of his own invention, the Abunai. Smooth, nice balance, but watch out: abunai means dangerous.
The dining room has fewer seats, more space, more round tables, and an entirely pleasant, elegant but not intimidating look. This space hasn't sustained a good restaurant since the glory days of L'Uraku, but this one, if there's any justice, will attract a following. Welcome back, Philippe.


Hofbräuhaus am Platzl, Munich (tel. 089/22-16-76): The Hofbräuhaus is the world's most famous beer hall and can accommodate some 4,500 beer drinkers on any given night. Music from live bands and huge mugs of beer served at wooden tables combine to produce the best of Bavarian nighttime fun.
Biergarten Chinesischer Turm, Munich (tel. 089/3-83-87-30): In the Englischer Garten between the Isar River and Schwabing, this is the best Biergarten in the largest city-owned park in Europe. Beer and plenty of Bavarian food, hail and hearty, are served until the cold winds of autumn blow. It's riotous fun.
Hirschgarten, Munich (tel. 089/1799-9199): In Nymphenburg Park, west of the center, this beer garden lies in a 200-hectare (494-acre) park. It can handle an astonishing 8,000 beer drinkers at once and is, in fact, the largest open-air restaurant in Munich.

The FSA needs to give greater priority to its work to simplify the disclosure regime and expand the concept of summary boxes to more financial products, says the Treasury select committee.
In the third instalment of its report on financial inclusion, the TSC says the current key features document is confusing to consumers and the regulator must do more to ensure firms provide consumers with simple and clear information.
The group of MPs recommend that summary boxes- currently used to present key information about credit cards- should be used for other financial products.
In the report the TSC acknowledges the work the FSA is currently doing in this area in its move away from prescription and the fact this work has been held up by the implementation of Mifid.
The report says: "Consumers buying investment products are currently provided with 11 separate documents, in addition to the marketing material form the company selling the product. The current documentation, such as the key features document, is confusing for consumers.

Three university vice-chancellors and a head teacher have received knighthoods in the Queen's Birthday Honours list.
Honours to people working in education make up 10% of the total, including school support staff.
Paul Grant, head of Robert Clack Science College in Dagenham, Essex, is knighted - and 16 other head teachers are among those honoured.
The vice-chancellors at Aberdeen, Southampton and London South Bank universities are to be knighted.
Head teacher Paul Grant is credited with restoring discipline to a failing Essex secondary school.
In his first week as head teacher at Robert Clack School in Dagenham, Mr Grant excluded 300 pupils in a drive to consistently enforce discipline.
But last year the proportion of students achieving five or more good GCSEs was just above the average and the government named it as one of 12 schools "excelling against the odds".
Literary critic Professor Christopher Ricks, who recently retired as Oxford University's professor of poetry is knighted, as is Oxford's professor of economics, Professor David Hendry.
Professor Deian Hopkin, vice-chancellor of London's South Bank University, is knighted for services to higher education and skills.
He chairs Universities UK's Skills Task Force and is a government adviser on the reform of 14-19 qualifications, higher level skills and the Children's Plan.
He also chairs the student charity UNIAID and is vice-chairman of the Council for Assisting Refugee Academics.
The historian and scholar and principal of Aberdeen University, Professor C Duncan Rice, receives a knighthood.
Professor Bill Wakeham, vice-chancellor of Southampton University, is knighted for services to chemical engineering and higher education.
He was previously deputy rector of Imperial College London, where he oversaw the merger of the university with several medical schools, and is a fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, and of the Institution of Chemical Engineers.
Several scientists are also honoured, including Professor Anne Dell, Professor of Carbohydrate Biochemistry at Imperial College London, who is made a CBE.
Professor Lynn Gladden OBE, head of Cambridge University's department of chemical engineering and biotechnology, becomes a CBE for services to science.
There are also honours for teachers and other school staff, including Barbara Bell, a classics teacher at Clifton High School in Bristol, for her work to raise the profile of the subject.
Cynthia Cowley, a caretaker and lunchtime supervisor at St James and St John Church of England School in Akeley, Buckinghamshire, becomes an MBE, as does Janet Dean, a school crossing warden at Heswell Primary School in the Wirral.

Monkey Island 2: Monkeys, Islands, Silly Humour? Yes!
Shiver me timbers!
The Monkey Island games were a series of point and click adventures back in the 1990s released on the PC.
They were, and remain, rather unusual compared to most other titles being churned out, with an emphasis on experimentation, genuinely excellent scripts, humour, exploration, and puzzle solving.
The Swashbuckling Brilliance of Monkey Island 2
The Curse of Monkey Island is our favourite, but many others will claim Monkey Island 2 to be the best of the lot.
Back in 2010, the 1991 game was remastered and put back on Steam for a new generation, and existing fans, to enjoy (as the series' creator, LucasArts, did for Grim Fandango).
This is excellent for everyone, as the titles are so wonderfully charming and genuinely funny. Thusly, me hearties, here we go in celebration of a swashbuckling classic!
Before all the largely tedious Pirates of the Carribean stuff started, and continues to lumber on a like drunken football hooligan heading to a chip shop for a pie, pirates weren't quite as popular.
In 1995, Geena Davis pirate vehicle Cutthroat Island bombed at the box office, but quietly in the video game world, the brilliant LucasArts was delivering a series of masterpieces.
The Secret of Monkey Island arrived in 1990 across the Amiga, MS-DOS, Atari ST, and Macintosh.
The sequel followed in 1991 and was immediately hailed as a classic, the same for the next installment in 1997 just to hammer home how impressive the games are, and they're now a much-beloved part of 1990s gaming nostalgia.
So much so, this warranted a complete overhaul in order to update the graphics and (brilliantly) add in voice over acting which so elevated the Curse of Monkey Island over its predecessors. You can see a bit of the remake process in the clip below.
The most important theme to establish is the humour. The games are genuinely funny and have an incredible charm and warmth about them—the scripts are just inspired and feature some of the sharpest, most impressive dialogue in video game history.
Asides from this, the titles essentially interactive video games, as the player you point and click on parts of the screen to find out more, solve puzzles, talk to the (usually bizarre) individuals you come across, and advance the story.
You star as the hapless pirate Guybrush Threepwood, who is a bumbling, amiable sort looking for the legendary Big Whoop treasure.
He's completely ineffective as a pirate, but has a sunny disposition and sardonic wit in order to deal with the many deranged individuals he comes across.
This is all, by the way, complemented by beautiful hand drawn graphics, so you simply have a gorgeous and endearing video game which, with its silly but witty humour, stands as another fine example of what video games are capable of.
This is a title for all ages—everyone from all walks of life can enjoy something about Monkey Island 2 thanks to its accessibility, and all we can do is bask in its loveliness.
The Fate of LucasArts
George Lucas formed the company in 1982 as Lucasfilm Games, but it was rebranded as LucasArts in 1990.
It promptly went on to be one of the most beloved developers of the 1990s, thumping out a mixture of point and click adventure games, simulators, Star Wars titles, and other gubbins.
The finest of the lot, surely, has to be the wonderful Monkey Island series, two of which were remastered for re-release a few years ago.
Unfortunately, and weirdly, the Walt Disney Company took over LucasArts in 2012 and most of the staff was immediately laid off in early 2013. The developer still exists, but it's only maintained in order to function as a licensor.
According to the source we read, it has only a basic structure of 10 staff at the moment so again (as with other creative 1990s force Rare) we have a situation where a truly talented development studio is no longer creating work.
There doesn't even seem to be a possibility of a Curse of Monkey Island release on Steam, despite the wonderful title just reaching its 20th anniversary. It's madness, we tell you!
Let's not get too negative, though, as if you're on Steam, why not head over there now and buy the bloody thing?
Yes, Monkey Island 2 is available at a super cheap price and you could be playing away and guffawing like a fool within 10 minutes. What are you waiting for, me hearties? Get to it!
LucasArts

Getting all Monkey Island games has been part of my bucket list for a while. I need to get to it!
They are fantastic – highly recommend. Be prepared to laugh. Lots of funny.
Jay Borenstein says:
I just replayed Monkey Island 3 with the GF, which were her favorites growing up, through the magic of ScummVM and her original CDs! So gud.
Yeah, Curse of Monkey Island is difficult to find… why it's not on Steam I donut know. A tragedy!
