This exciting camp began on the chilly slopes of Doi Intanon, the students were overjoyed by seeing their frosty breath in the mornings air. We all enjoyed our trek through the forest to see a Karen village and to try our hands at roasting coffee. Back at the Traidhos campus English classes and teambuilding games were filled with fun. The trip finished up with an English presentation for their parents, this inquisitive group of children headed home with new friends and new vocabulary too!

You are here: Home / Mahatma Gandhi / 'Quit India' Movement
At the outbreak of war in 1939 between Britain and Germany, India was also declared to be at war with Germany as it constituted part of the British empire. The Congress took the view that while it opposed fascism, it could render no support to the British either: there was little to choose between the totalitarianism of the Nazis and the colonialism of the British. It was not with the consent of the Indian people that India was dragged into the war, nor was this India's war; moreover, the Congress expected, but could not procure, an unconditional offer of British withdrawal from India as a condition of its support. Consequently, neutrality was the official policy of the Congress. In an effort to bring the British to the negotiating table, Gandhi launched his 'Quit India' movement in August 1942, and issued from a large meeting ground in Bombay (since re-named August Kranti [revolution] Maidan) the famous call to 'do or die': Indians were to wage one last struggle to achieve independence, or die in that attempt. Elaborate plans were made to offer non-violent resistance; however, almost the entire Congress leadership, and not merely at the national level, was put into confinement less than twenty-four hours after Gandhi's speech, and the greater number of the Congress leaders were to spend the rest of the war in jail.
T he 'Quit India' movement was followed, nonetheless, by large-scale violence directed at railway stations, telegraph offices, government buildings, and other emblems and institutions of colonial rule. There were widespread acts of sabotage, and the government held Gandhi responsible for these acts of violence, suggesting that they were a deliberate act of Congress policy. Gandhi resolutely denied these charges, but the deadlock was not to be resolved. It has been suggested by other scholars that though Gandhi himself did not authorize violence, he had grown skeptical of the efficacy of non-violence, and that he had arrived at the point in his life where he was determined to see India attain independence during his lifetime. However attractive this line of reasoning might appear, it has little support in Gandhi's voluminous writings. Others have suggested that the 'Quit India' movement was a failure in that it invited the government to unleash repression, and therefore led to the incarceration of the Congress leadership. Consequently, it has been argued, the Muslim League, which declared its support to the British, was to grow in strength during the war, while the Congress languished. Though the Muslim League failed to secure support even among Muslim voters before the war, elections in 1946 suggested that it had the loyalty of the majority of Muslims in many Muslim-dominant areas. On these lines, then, it is suggested that the 'Pakistan movement' developed when there were no countervailing forces to check it, and that Gandhi played into the hands of both Muslim communalists and British imperialists. The 'Quit India' movement remains, in any event, among the most controversial episodes in Gandhi's life and modern Indian history.

Age of first infection across a range of parasite taxa in a wild mammalian population

Newborn mammals have an immature immune system that cannot sufficiently protect them against infectious diseases. However, variation in the effectiveness of maternal immunity against different parasites may couple with temporal trends in parasite exposure to influence disparities in the timing of infection risk. Determining the relationship between age and infection risk is critical in identifying the portion of a host population that contributes to parasite dynamics, as well as the parasites that regulate host recruitment. However, there are no data directly identifying timing of first infection among parasites in wildlife. Here, we took advantage of a longitudinal dataset, tracking infection status by viruses, bacteria, protists and gastro-intestinal worms in a herd of African buffalo (Syncerus caffer) to ask: how does age of first infection differ among parasite taxa? We found distinct differences in the age of first infection among parasites that aligned with the mode of transmission and parasite taxonomy. Specifically, we found that tick-borne and environmentally transmitted protists were acquired earlier than directly transmitted bacteria and viruses. These results emphasize the importance of understanding infection risk in juveniles, especially in host species where juveniles are purported to sustain parasite persistence and/or where mortality rates of juveniles influence population dynamics.

NAACP Hopes March Will Empower Black Voters The NAACP hosts a rally this weekend in Washington D.C. with hundreds of other organizations.

NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous talks to Steve Inskeep about the march, midterm elections and the tea party.
The NAACP hosts a rally this weekend in Washington D.C. with hundreds of other organizations. They're trying to promote good jobs, education and greater equality for black voters. NAACP President and CEO Benjamin Jealous talks to Steve Inskeep about the march, midterm elections and the tea party.
Benjamin Jealous of the NAAP acknowledges some voters may be discouraged.
BENJAMIN JEALOUS: The reality is that it's been exhausting for people to push, push, push, push, push, and yet we have got to understand our job doesn't change after somebody get's into office. We, you know, we're the one who made that change and we're the one who will make the changes in how are society is governed.
INSKEEP: Do you think that President Obama is going to be able to draw black voters and other minority voters to the polls in the large numbers that he was able to do when he was actually on the ballot in 2008?
JEALOUS: What's clear to me is that getting ourselves to the poll is truly up to us. A lot of folks who have invested in encouraging massive voter turnout - black voters, brown voters, students, working class whites - for whatever reason are not investing in it right now. And so what you've seen, as I, you know, travel - I've probably spoken to 20 churches in the last several weeks, and what you see pastors doing is exhorting their folks to understand that this is really their responsibility, that they've got to get out there, they've got to knock on doors, they've got to understand if the civil rights agenda gets run over in this election, if the human rights agenda gets run over in this election, if the focus on solving tough problems for working families like health care and the need to, you know, extend unemployment benefits gets thrown out the window, times are going to get worse.
INSKEEP: But what in concrete terms is the NAACP doing to get your supporters to the polls in greater numbers in November?
JEALOUS: We have targeted several states to push out black voter turnout. We're looking at people, you know, who voted in three of the last five elections and might miss a midterm and targeting them and saying you've got to turn out to vote.
INSKEEP: Now, that's interesting. You don't need to worry about the people who voted in five out of five, but the people who voted in three out of five, you want to make sure they show up for this one?
JEALOUS: Yeah, 'cause if you voted in five out of five, you're going to show up.
JEALOUS: There's the NAACP in 1,200 communities spending weekends, you know, teaching kids the way I was taught when I was 14. That's how I got into this, was NAACP activists told me when I was 14 you need to go register 1,000 voters and I, you know, pulled together a few friends and we went and did it.
INSKEEP: Is it inevitable that you're just not going to have as high of rate of participation as you did in 2008 with the first black president, serious black presidential candidate on the ballot?
JEALOUS: The reality is that in mid-term elections you see a drop-off across the board. How big this drop-off is going to be, I'm not sure. What I know is that my responsibility and the responsibility of civil rights leaders in the country is to ensure that whoever is in Congress, there is a fight for what is most important. And right now what is most important is jobs, good jobs, schools, great schools, and justice for all people in this country. We have - look - you know, we are a country that believes we are capable of solving some of the toughest problems in the world. We should be able to deal with comprehensive immigration reform and the need to fix our broken immigration system. We should be able to get all of the cops in this country to focus on what people do and not what they look like. But we have to, we have to figure out how we get our people back to work.
INSKEEP: Is it tough in practical terms, at a time of difficult economic times for an awful lot of people, to knock on doors and say, look, I know you're frustrated, I know you want to throw the bums out, but I need you to vote for the incumbent?
JEALOUS: Not at all, not at all. You know, I mean somebody said to me the other day, look, man, if I show up to this rally, if I go out - if I turn out and vote, will I get a job? I said, well, you know what? What I can guarantee you is that it will harder for you to find one if you don't.
INSKEEP: Benjamin Jealous of the NAACP, thanks for coming by.
JEALOUS: Thank you very much, Steve.

DAINGERFIELD STATE PARK D A I N G E R F I E L D S T A T E P A R K A CYCLE OF THE SEASONS LEGACY OF THE LAND The sun shines as a Paleoindian man pauses on a grassy knoll. Stooping, he picks some wild berries, and continues on his journey through the land. On that same hill thousands of years later, a Caddoan farmer surveys the land, deciding where she'd like to grow her corn. She knows the rich, fertile soil of this area will bode well for her crops. A Just a few hundred years in the future, an early European farmer and his wife survey that same land. He plans to turn his farm into a successful business; perhaps a sawmill or a cotton gin will do. The resources here are plentiful enough to support his growing family. Hints of green appear; spring has arrived! She wanders through the rolling hills, beneath bouquets of dogwood and redbud bursting into bloom. A robin sings overhead as a fawn waits for mom in a patch of little bluestem. A hundred years later, in 1935, a young Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) boy stands atop the rise and watches the construction below him. His company will construct an earthen dam to impound the 80-acre lake, build scenic roads, and assemble buildings from concrete, local stone and timber. white-tailed deer shivers as she wanders through the Pineywoods of Daingerfield State Park. A loud drumming causes her to look up at a flash of red amongst the bare trees. A pileated woodpecker flies from one shortleaf pine to another, searching for food. Quenching her summer thirst, our doe drinks from Little Pine Lake. A largemouth bass splashes, startling her into the woods. By now, fall is beginning to make its way into the park. Sweetgum, oak, and maple trees produce dazzling shades of red and gold, a stark contrast to the dark evergreens. Our doe and her baby search out the last acorns of the season. As they explore, she locks eyes with a human visitor through the trees. Could this be you? With a flick of their white tails, both deer turn and run off. Her breath on the air; she knows winter is coming. The beauty of Daingerfield State Park beckons you to return with each changing season. CCC workers prepare the foundation of the dam that will impound the lake. Swimmers enjoy a day at Daingerfield SP, circa 1950. After 70 years of wear and weather, park visitors continue to use the historic CCC buildings. In 2011, Texas Parks and Wildlife Department staff completed a major restoration project of Bass Lodge, the Combination Building and the Little Pine Interpretive Center. As you stand on that grassy hill here in the park, what do you see? Paleoindians finding a snack on their journey through? A young CCC boy, working to excavate the lake you see below? Or do you see, as many before you have, the lasting legacy of men and the land?

Nearly 50% of adult U.S. population at risk from heart disease
The study found African Americans to be the group with the highest proportion of hypertension. 42% of the blacks had the condition compared to 29% whites and 26% Mexican Americans. The whites were the most likely to have high cholesterol while the Mexican Americans were most likely to suffer from diabetes.
The African Americans were also more likely to have a combination of two out of the three conditions. The data comes from the ongoing National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey that releases new figures every two years.
"This report is so timely and important because it crystallizes exactly what the burden is," Dr Clyde Yancy said. "It tells us the challenge we now face that could stress and potentially defeat any healthcare system we could come up with."
The way to deal with the impending crisis seems to be taking more personal responsibility for your health. "This trio begins with a quartet of smoking, a junk diet, physical inactivity and obesity. Those are all things we can do something about." Said Dr Yancy.

The Rusted Iron Cross
Stock photo/pixabay.
By Martin Malone
Some stories run beyond the reach of legend, are fact, but their detail has been lost and become hazy in the wheel of time. History was marked by a simple iron cross that had been set into the ground next to a low drystone wall; an iron cross with a circle behind it, a symbol of the mergence between Druidic culture and Christianity, the circle representative of the sun.
Like many things in life its absence more so than its presence was noticed. A small rusted cross not unlike those which you see dotting the margins of roads to mark the death place of a loved one. For decades this simple cross spoke to the world in a rusted whisper. To cyclists, runners, motorists, to hikers – it lay by a farmyard wall on the winding Kildare to Brownstown road, in sight of the massacre of 1798 that happened near to the great rath of the Curragh plains, where the highwayman Colgan was hanged. The dirt and grassy trail to this day is hoof-marked by horse and sheep; its vein runs between dense islands of furze and it is the route which the outlaws used to make their escape after robbing the Dublin-Limerick mailcoach. Not surprisingly it is known as Colgan's Cut.
But this other man's name remained a mystery. The cross employed to remind people of the incident and perhaps prompt his name into a prayer onto the lips of a passerby was nowhere to be found. Road works had been ongoing in the area for the last number of years – alterations to the route and the Kildare bypass – but none of these affected this low wall which the cross had come to rest a shoulder against, so there was no reason for it to be removed. I seem to remember a scratching of R.I.P. done roughly in white paint, showing above the rust, but no name, no year of death.
Delving into the mystery I was told by an elderly local man, who was quick to admit that he had forgotten more than he remembered, that the cross had been erected in honour of a young man who had been shot dead by a Black and Tan. According to him the atrocity had happened at night and the young man, a shepherd, had not heard the call to 'Halt', and continued to approach the checkpoint. A bullet tore at the night air and spiralled through flesh and bone, wrenching the breath of life from a soul.
The victim was well know to the Tans and to locals and he seemed to have been popular with both; the old man added that the community and the Tans were horrified and greatly saddened at the occurrence – the man was a deaf mute and was described as being a peaceful individual.
The old man, who told me the story, was passing on a hand-me-down tale and again made it clear that his memory of it was sketchy. Because the victim's name was a mystery, because of the absence of the roadside marker, my curiosity wouldn't rest – I wanted to discover his identity and what had exactly happened to him, but my other research into the period had sobered my expectations – how do you begin to make truth out of rumours, lies, half-truths, and whatever else goes in the mix? I suppose you work towards the probabilities, the most likely scenarios, and the danger therein is obvious – you run the risk of adding to the mix.
I hadn't to spend much time searching for the victim's name – it's chronicled in James Durney's fine book about political unrest in Kildare, 'On the One Road'. The victim was Patrick Gavin from Maddenstown, the Curragh, and he is listed as having been shot dead by a British soldier on the 13 February, 1919.
So then, for more than 80 years this relic signifying a tragic death remained in situ, rusting away, tortured and caressed by the elements. I'm sure there's a reason for its removal, good or bad – but I don't expect the mystery to be resolved…it's merely an old iron cross, a snatch of a tragedy in a time of many of them, but perhaps it had simply run out of seasons.

Saddam Doesn't Control Baghdad, U.S. Says
ELLEN KNICKMEYER and DAVID CRARY
Associated Press Writers
Saddam Hussein's rule over the capital has ended, U.S. commanders declared Wednesday, and jubilant crowds swarmed into the streets here, dancing, looting, cheering U.S. convoys and defacing images of the Iraqi leader.
"The capital city is now one of those areas that has been added to the list of where the regime does not have control," said Brig. Gen. Vincent Brooks at U.S. Central Command in Qatar.
Brooks said that Saddam loyalists were holding out in the north, notably at Saddam's hometown of Tikrit, and still posed a threat, including the possible use of weapons of mass destruction
Even as they encountered sniper fire from roving bands of holdout fighters, Marine and Army units swept through Baghdad, seizing or destroying buildings that once housed some of Saddam's most feared security forces. Marine tanks rolled into the heart of the city, on the east bank of the Tigris, greeted by people clapping and waving white flags.
Civilians gestured to the Americans with V-for-victory signs. "We were nearly mobbed by people trying to shake our hands," said Maj. Andy Milburn of the 7th Marines. One Army contingent had to use razor-wire to hold back surging crowds of well-wishers.
At police stations, universities, government ministries, the headquarters of the Iraq Olympic Committee, looters unhindered by any police presence made off with computers, furniture, telephones, even military jeeps. One young man used roller skates to wheel away a refrigerator.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Bush," some of the looters shouted. An elderly man beat a portrait of Saddam with his shoe, while a younger man spat on the portrait.
Not everyone rejoiced.
"This is the destruction of Islam," said Qassim al-Shamari, 50, a laborer wearing an Arab robe. "After all, Iraq is our country. And what about all the women and children who died in the bombing?"
Even as most of the populace seemed suddenly to feel free of Saddam's control, U.S. officers said their forces faced continued resistance, fierce but disorganized, from small groups of holdout pro-Saddam fighters. The U.S Central Command reacted cautiously to the euphoria and chaos in Baghdad.
"The regime has lost control in most parts of Iraq," said command spokesman Jim Wilkinson. "There are places up north where they have significant pockets … so we'll continue to go where those pockets are and reduce them. It'll just take time to find those pockets and destroy them and hopefully they'll surrender."
U.S. commanders focused attention on Tikrit, still a stronghold of loyalist troops, and the northern city of Mosul. Lt. Mark Kitchens, a Central Command spokesman, said special operations forces and airstrikes were "actively engaging" Iraqi forces in both cities.
U.S. special forces and Kurdish fighters seized a strategic hilltop near Mosul; senior Kurdish leader Hoshyar Zebari called it the most important gain in the region thus far.
The fate of Saddam remained unknown. U.S. experts have yet to gain access to the site in an upscale Baghdad neighborhood that was targeted by four 2,000-pound bombs in a U.S. strike aimed at killing him.
Elsewhere in the capital, U.S. forces steadily expanded their reach, securing a military airport, capturing a prison, setting fire to a Republican Guard barracks. Milburn said the house of Saddam's son Odai was on fire, apparently hit by a bomb.
The Iraqi government's efforts to sustain its public relations campaign collapsed. State television went off the air Tuesday, and on Wednesday, foreign journalists said their "minders" _ government agents who monitor their reporting _ did not turn up for work. There was no sign of Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf, whose daily briefings had constituted the main public face of the regime during the war.
While intent on consolidating their hold on Baghdad, U.S. commanders also were turning their attention to Tikrit, Saddam's hometown in the desert about 90 miles to the north. Defended by well-trained troops, and home to many of Saddam's most devoted followers, the city of 260,000 is considered one of the few remaining strongholds of the Iraqi regime.
The Central Command said coalition airstrikes were targeting the Republican Guard's Adnan division in Tikrit, "shaping the battlefield" before U.S. ground forces move in. Brooks said Iraqi reinforcements were reaching Tikrit, apparently after retreating from positions to the north and south.
The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, one of two main Iraqi Kurdish groups opposing Saddam, claimed Tuesday that Saddam already was hiding in Tikrit. U.S. officials said they didn't know if he had escaped Monday's bombing of a site in Baghdad's al-Mansour neighborhood where he and at least one of his sons reportedly were meeting.
The toll of journalists killed in the war reached 10, with three killed in U.S. military strikes in Baghdad on Tuesday
Two cameramen, one from Ukraine and one from Spain, were killed when a U.S. tank fired into the Palestine Hotel, where hundreds of journalists are based. U.S. officers initially said hostile fire had been coming from the building; journalists said they witnessed none.
Also, a Jordanian reporter was killed in a U.S. airstrike on the Baghdad office of the Arab television network al-Jazeera, which contended the attack was deliberate.
On Wednesday, the U.S. branch of Amnesty International joined in the criticism.
"Unless the U.S. can demonstrate that the Palestine Hotel had been used for military purposes, it was a civilian object protected under international humanitarian law that should not have been attacked," Amnesty said.
In the southern city of Basra, which was taken over by British forces this week, looters have been plundering government buildings, universities, even hospitals. A Red Cross representative said the looting could delay relief efforts in the city of 1.3 million.

Bugs/Glitches
We ended blogging regarding Club Penguin Island on January 26th 2018, but you are still welcome to read all previous posts regarding the game.
Bugs/Glitches, Club Penguin Island, Uncategorized
How to go near the orange buoy, climb the exchanger.
You likely know by now that Club Penguin Mountains strives to be your #1 source for CP Island, and I think we're doing a pretty good job at that when it comes to news and guides! But for glitches, my friend Danar435's blog (CPI Secrets) is the best and that's why I'd like to share this very awesome glitch with you! Be sure to check it out, along with the rest of his awesome posts! Have a great day! 🙂
Bugs/Glitches, Club Penguin Island, News
Club Penguin Island Servers are Full
Just received an email from the Club Penguin Island support team confirming that whilst there are problems logging in, it'll be fixed when "more space is available on the island", essentially meaning that the worlds/servers are all full.
This is kind of confusing as people have shared that most worlds are empty. Don't worry though as the development team are on it! It's interesting to note that staff can log on though! Some friends lists also say that people who aren't on are on as Yovas confirmed.
Overall, I guess we'll just need to wait, but at least we now know why! Thanks for reading!
Bugs/Glitches, Club Penguin Island, Discussions, News
CP Island Update 1.1.2 – Full Breakdown & Review
Club Penguin Island has been updated to version 1.1.2 and the most notable change is the fact it's released worldwide. In this post we'll be looking at some initial responses to the game and I'll explain why I am extremely disappointed with this.
"Hey Penguins! We've squashed some bugs to make the Island even better. Waddle On!"
We've also learnt that the membership prices have changed! Unfortunately non-member features will only be less restricted next month which made a lot of people at school dislike the game. Here are the new prices.
$4.99 USD/month
£3.99 GBP/month
€ 4.49 EUR/month
$6.49 CAD/month
$6.49 AUD/month
$6.49 NZD/month
There are other small updates, like when you tap the "Clear Cache button" it will speak to you…
Unfortunately, I also feel like we're getting more bugs than we are in the beta…
First issue and I am one of the many people experiencing this, the game won't even load and I've got a feeling it's not because all the servers are full (even if it is – that's a problem but a good one). I couldn't reach out to Club Penguin for response because of this but I've followed their tutorials and it still won't work!
Some people can't even complete the tutorial, an issue which I believe nobody had when the beta first came out. Pretty major bug, you don't want uninstalls as soon as it comes out.
Then we get to even more major bugs where Madzom8ie was charged just under 3X the price for one months worth of membership!
It gets worse with some people reporting that they aren't even getting their membership which they paid for! We cannot confirm if this is true though but either way, not good. Huge credit to the team for reducing prices though, just another example as how we as a community CAN influence the team!
How it was received
Launching the game on the 29th was a horrible idea. Most of the day was filled with Disney protests and the game has received a very negative review with more people giving 1 stars than any other stars on Google Play.
According to Google it received over 6300 reviews and is currently sitting at a rating of 2.7. Many downloaded it and it did make the news. Also, it's part of the Editor's Choice selection on Google Play.
I'm disappointed by the bugs but the team are very talented and I'm sure they'll be fixed quickly (good luck to them doing that!). However, many players have signed up and hopefully peoples' views will shift quickly.
Thank you for reading, waddle on!
Bugs/Glitches, Club Penguin Island
Mysterious Mountains on Club Penguin Island
When on top of the mountains on Club Penguin Island thanks to a glitch shown to me by Cheesy Blues, I noticed two things which have noticeable similarities to the Ski Hill on the classic game. The glitch Cheesy shared was awesome and you got an excellent view!
Here's the first thing which I noticed and the most exciting one! There were always mysteries surrounding a small cave in the hole of the mountain visible from the Ski Hill. Rumours suggested it was the base of Herbert.
Well guess what, the appears to also be a hole in the scary mountain on Club Penguin Island! We already know that EPF agents are coming, and I'm really excited of what mysteries the cave could contain. After all, we never got to experience it in the Classic version but I'm excited for it in CPI!
That brings me on to my next image, the Sled Racing track. This game has already been confirmed but being able to actually see the track which we could potentially be sledding down is awesome. It interests me that there is only one for now though.
Here's a random image of me falling out of a tree and about to hit the Sled Racing track. I wonder if I can replicate this photo when the game officially comes out, which could possibly be in May.
Like Club Penguin, the Mountains here hold lots of mysteries which are going to be exciting to explore! I expect many adventures to take place here, like the old PSA & EPF missions did. This is another reminder of how many exciting possibilities there are as our island progresses.
CP Island Glitch – Mountains, Void, Forests, Sled Racing
The other day, Cheesy Blues showed me a really cool glitch allowing you to see the top of the mountains, be blast high into the sky, get some really cool photos and more! He calls it the Cheesy Void glitch.
Before I share how to do this, here are some really cool photos I took! Ahh!
In this one, I seem to be in a new area. Behind the mountains is the beautiful Club Penguin Island ocean. You can even see a small forest on the right, is this where the Forest area will be?
Woah, where am I?
I do not like the look of that monster…but it's so cool to be able to see him in-game!
Am in IN the mountains? Also, can I see the track which will be SLED RACING down on the left?!
Woah, so this is what it's like under the Designer! Pretty cool!
So you may be wondering how to do this and Cheesy Blues has kindly given permission to let me teach you how (thank you)!
Step 1: Climb onto the top of the Designer. This is a separate glitch which you can find out how to do here. Basically, head over to the Lighthouse building and use your trackpad to jump on top of the emoji. Danar435 (who is an expert at this) explains it like this:
Ok, i got a tip to go on the roof, when you jump, DON'T jump on the side of the desinger, jump at the front, and try to land on top of the emoji sign. Also, before you jump, it's a good idea to start at the bottom left of the yellow-black rectangle on the lighthouse.
Step 2: Waddle towards the rock which you will see. You will fall into a portal
Step 3: As you are falling into the portal, open and close settings
Step 4: You are now under the Designer! Use your tube to spring up and see the first few pictures I shared for yourself! This might take two or three tries to do, and it will happen pretty quickly.
Once again, I would like to give a huge thanks to Cheesy Blues for showing me the Cheesy Void glitch! It's epic! Looking for even more glitches? My friend Danar435 posted a cool one here! Thank you for reading!
Bug affects CP Island Usernames
Hi! This is just a quick update about a "bug" which I see happening on Club Penguin Island. Completely approved usernames have been changed to "cp" with no warning and their are no traces of their username. Even when searching their original one, nothing appears.
It is not known why this is happening but my guess would be that the team have picked it – though I'm not sure why. All of these usernames were appropriate and previously approved. I hope that this is fixed soon but basically, if you're affected, so are many others. Hope this helps!
How to Climb Stuff on Club Penguin Island
There is so much stuff that I never knew you could climb and see on Club Penguin Island, but Danar435 was kind enough to take the time to show me how (thank you!). Here's a few pictures I took, after which I will explain how to climb the Mountains and the trees.

Club Penguin Island Version 1.1.1 – FULL BREAKDOWN
Last night saw the release of version 1.1.1 of Club Penguin Island which caused so much hype in the community! The most notable change is the addition of the Disney Shop but there is so much more which players have noticed. Today I'm going to share everything new in the app!
I'd like to give a HUGE thanks to Dj Stores/Foodtrekker who supplied me with every screenshot you see in this post! You can pre-register your interest for something awesome he's working on here!
The Disney Shop:
This was the change that Club Penguin featured on the What's New area of the updated app. The Disney Shop is now open and it's AMAZING! Currently you can purchase outfits from the following series but more have already been confirmed to come in the future:
Elena the Avalor
Here are the things which you can buy for a pretty cheap price! They vary from costumes to fabrics to even party supplies!
These are absolutely amazing! I love the outfits and the fact they've included party supplies too is just incredible! There's also new actions when you use these supplies.
Here's an example of a person eating from the "Pizza Planet Box" from Toy Story and the "Pawpsicle" from Zootopia!
Members can buy all of these new items at the Disney Store, and there's more coming! These look really cool and I, like many, am so glad to see them in the game!
The next big change! You can now play the game in other languages like French and Portuguese! Woo hoo!
Membership Information:
In your settings tab, you can now get more detailed information on your membership, which is awesome since previously you only knew what Google/Apple told you.
This is likely to be helpful to those paying for the membership to clear up any confusion that previously took place.
New Worlds:
As we near worldwide release, more worlds have been added for us to play on!
This isn't anything too big at the moment since not even the current worlds are near full yet, but I'm sure this will be a useful addition when the game is out worldwide.
Friend list changes:
The most notable change to the Friends List is that there is now a hard limit of 200. This is not surprising and completely understandable as the list apparently became buggy after surpassing 200 friends. The team has said:
"It's something we're working on to make the app run as smooth as possible."
One thing that is not certain is what happens to those with over 200 friends. Think of staff members who have exceeded this number. Pen50gi shared that SheepVSGravity (a developer) has confirmed that they can't exceed the 200 friends limit so then what happens?
There's also a small little action for online friends which you can see above. This has been changed from what it previously was.
Chapter 2 of Aunt Arctic's Adventures:
The second chapter of Aunt Arctic's Adventures has now been hinted in the game. Although it says "Coming Soon", we know they'll be out in April. This is so exciting because it also gives you an opportunity to earn a higher level, and we can assume familiar faces will be appearing there too!
No more VPN:
Regions part of the "selected territories" that aren't technically part of the geo-beta no longer need to use a VPN!
New Music:
Foodtrekker has kindly informed me that there is also new music in the game! These are:
Between events in Beacon Boardwalk
For the Dance Floor event in Beacon Boardwalk
New loading music
Changes to the music at the Party Sub
Along with these soundtracks, there's also new music for the band in Coconut Cove, a new sound track when on the trampoline and many others!
New Video when Loading:
At the top right of your screen when you first open up the game is a button that plays a short ad for the game. MikeyMichael kindly allowed me to share his video of it (thanks!).
https://twitter.com/MikeyMichaelCP/status/840086226170335232
Interestingly enough, member features have been removed from it.
Bug Squashes:
As with most updates, bugs have been squashed. I heard on social media from GeekJose that the going underground glitch has been patched but I am not 100% sure this is the case.
Also, the copyright has been updated from 2016 to 2017. This isn't really a bug but more a minor change: the font of the Daily Challenge's "claim" button has also changed.
That's all for this update and in comparison to what's coming (igloos, new areas, puffles, new adventures and so much more) this is a pretty small update, yet social media was so hyped when it was announced!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! This legit makes me want to fake a sudden sickness so i can go home lol https://t.co/eLF9R5WihX
— ❄Rosebudee❄ (@RosebudeeCP) March 9, 2017
If we are so hyped about this, imagine these huge updates in the future! I honestly can't wait! This is a great foot in the right direction for Club Penguin Island!
I hope you liked this post and once again, a massive thanks to Dj Stores for the screenshots in this post!
EXCLUSIVE: How to go Around the Sea Caves in Club Penguin Island
A few weeks ago, I shared a Club Penguin Island glitch that showed you how to view the Sea Caves at some really cool angles, but I was unable to show you a tutorial on how to get there.
Recently I've been showing some people on the island how to do this glitch, but as a new method was discovered, I am no longer sworn to secrecy and I can give you step-by-step guides and a video on how you can make this happen to your penguin!
I would like to thank Foodtrekker for being the one to originally show me the first version of this glitch, which no longer works for some reason.

Club Penguin Island: Moderator Test World Mystery
Yesterday I had the rare opportunity of being able to visit test world "Avalancha" on Club Penguin Island. This was a bug and it happened when I noticed that four moderators were online. I decided to jump to GoldenStallion first.
Here is my discovery on a Club Penguin Island test server.


Background: The Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) is an international agreement that was negotiated in secret by the Obama administration and hundreds of corporate lobbyists between 2009 and 2015. The text of the TPP was released to members of Congress and the public in November, 2015. It was signed by the twelve member countries (Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, United States and Vietnam) on February 4, 2016. Each country has two years to ratify the agreement.
Ratification requires Congress to pass implementing legislation submitted by the President.This will be considered under fast track, which requires Congress to vote within 90 days. Fast track also restricts debate and prevents amendments.The US International Trade Commission (USITC) is required to develop an economic impact statement for the TPP. The Obama administration is pushing for a vote on the TPP before the end of 2016.
The USITC is chaired by six commissioners appointed by the administration. All have worked either in the office of the US Trade Representative, Department of Commerce or US Agency for International Development or as a lobbyist or patent lawyer. Many assisted implementation of NAFTA, the WTO, and other international agreements. They are all proponents of "free trade" and are expected to continue the false arguments made about the TPP by the Office of the US Trade Representative and transnational corporate interests.
To bring truth to the discussion about the TPP, we have created the People's Economic Impact Statement for the TPP. It uses data from the performance of past agreements and from analyses that have been conducted on the TPP.
TPP proponents are drawing on small sections of the TPP to argue that there are specific potential benefits to certain industries and states in order to win Congressional support. We reject this narrow view and urge all members of Congress to look at the big picture of the overall harm that the TPP will do to workers and families as it drives a global race to the bottom in wages, guts protections for consumers, workers and the environment, and assaults the sovereignty of the US and other nations.
The public sector has been hurt by existing trade agreements and will continue to be undermined.  When communities lose factories, businesses that provide services to factories and their employees lose revenue causing sales and income tax revenues to decrease; and thus, government investment in public services decreases.The US does not exempt public services like transportation, sanitation, water or wastewater, utility, postal or other services from its trade deals. In fact, the TPP contains provisions that prevent state-owned and private enterprises to be treated differently. If public services are privatized, returning them to the public sector will likely result in an investor state dispute settlement (ISDS) challenge in the trade tribunal to prevent it.
Health and Health Care Costs – The TPP lacks labor and environmental protections and lowers food safety standards, which will threaten the health and safety of workers and their families and communities. The TPP will raise the cost of health care in the US by raising the prices of pharmaceuticals and medical devices through patent protections and barriers to generics.  It will also drive further privatization of the healthcare system by ending advantages for state-owned enterprises (any entity that receives support from the government). Higher healthcare costs mean that more patients will delay or forgo necessary care. This means greater suffering and more preventable deaths. Without a universal healthcare system or a strong social safety net, people in the US are more vulnerable to financial difficulties, including bankruptcy, when they have an accident or illness. This has a negative impact on the economy through the loss of ability to work, home foreclosure (which lowers property values), and lost tax revenue.
Climate crisis – The TPP expedites the export of oil and gas from the US to member countries which will drive more fracking and drilling. If laws are passed that interfere with the expected profits of foreign corporations, such as banning fossil fuels or promoting renewable sources of energy, those corporations can sue through the trade tribunal.  A current case is the $15 billion law suit by TransCanada against the US over rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline. Continuing to use fossil fuels will worsen the climate crisis, which will lead to greater costs through extreme weather events, coastal flooding, illnesses, droughts and food insecurity. The TPP is a binding agreement, while the Paris Treaty is voluntary.
Financial Stability – The TPP further deregulates financial institutions, which increases the risk of a financial crash. Under the TPP, financial firms have greater flexibility to move money in and out of countries, essentially holding countries under economic hostage if they do not comply with industry demands, just as corporations threaten workers with off-shoring if they seek increased wages or protections. If governments pass new regulations, such as reinstating Glass-Steagall or passing other laws that might interfere with profits, financial firms have the legal standing under the TPP to sue those governments in the trade tribunal, which operates outside of the US judicial system and cannot be challenged even by the Supreme Court.  It will be the public who is forced to pay the price if there is another financial crash or if the government is successfully sued by the big banks.
Privatization of Public Services – The TPP will further privatize and commodify public services such as energy, water, sanitation, education, and more. The TPP specifically bans "Buy America" provisions and mandates that foreign corporations be allowed to compete equally for government contracts.  By further privatizing public services, there will be higher costs, fewer safety regulations and lower quality because a for-profit entity seeks profit first and foremost; public entities providing such services seek to serve the public interest first. This favoritism for transnational corporations is a fundamental error of trade agreements negotiated by and for corporate interests, as the put increasing profits ahead of improving the lives of people.
Congress needs to reject ratification of the TPP. It does not serve the interests of the overall economy, but serves only the interests of transnational corporations and oligarchs in the participating countries.The public will no longer support this failed model of trade agreement, especially agreements such as the TPP, which overstep traditional boundaries and include a broad range of changes to US law. Congress needs to re-evaluate the purpose of trade agreements and seek new approaches.
Two broad areas need to be changed (1) the goals of trade agreements, and (2) the process of negotiating them. The purpose of trade should not be to enrich the 0.1% who profit from the success of multi-national corporations; instead, trade agreements should help all people, raise the standard of living, provide safer products, and ensure that workers have, at a minimum, a living wage and a safe work environment. Trade agreements must also confront such global problems as the destruction of oceans and forests, mass extinction, and climate change. The era of secret trade negotiations must be ended. The process should be participatory and transparent. Multinational corporations should not be granted greater access or rights than civil society. Congress should be involved at key steps of the process in an open way, giving constituents the opportunity and ability to participate.
The public demands a new model of trade that protects public health and safety and the planet. Corporate power grabs and anything that is less than fair trade will be rejected. We look forward to a new era of international trade that is sustainable, respects human rights and sovereignty, and benefits the 99%.

Cheryl Strayed's 'Wild': A Journey Of Truth, Healing, Change
Cheryl Strayed's memoir "Wild," about her Pacific Crest Trail hike, has become a best-seller and a movie starring Reese Witherspoon. She will be on the Connecticut Forum panel "Explorers & Adventurers" on Friday (ctforum.org/forum/explorers-adventurers) at the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts. Here are excerpts from an interview with Opinion Editor Carolyn Lumsden.
Lumsden: Your honesty is something else — about heroin and sex and intense grief. How is it that you're able to be so truthful?
Strayed: I've always been interested in that hidden reality, the face that we try to keep from others. I've always risked saying things that maybe were a little more honest than [you'd hear in] common civil conversation. That's part of my personality.
It's also what drew me to writing. It's the kind of writing I love. Writers who tell that kind of deep truth — I wanted to be like that.
Most people find that to be a very scary experience. I do too. But it is like a muscle that I worked over time.
Before "Wild," I'd written many essays that were incredibly honest. Instead of being condemned, readers would say, "Thank you. By telling your truth, you told my truth."
I've come to trust that as a writer. When we dare to tell our truth, we are speaking with a universal voice.
Lumsden: There are some beautiful sentences in "Wild." About your mother, you wrote, "She'd come at us with maximum maternal velocity." How did you come to learn to write like this?
Strayed: A lot of apprenticing myself to the craft of writing. I'm 46 years old and I've known writing was my calling since I learned to read at 6. I didn't grow up surrounded by bookish people or literary people. But I knew that I was called to write.
Obviously, in "Wild" I wrote about making a lot of bad decisions. But the thread that has never been unbroken is my commitment to my writing. I always wrote, even in the hard times.
Lumsden: You'll be at the forum with Diana Nyad and Paul Nicklen. But your adventure sounds more psychic than theirs. Many women had hiked the PCT, but they didn't suffer what you did before going on the hike. Did you set off thinking, "I'm going on this spiritual journey, like a female Siddhartha"?
Strayed: I don't know if I'm going to be able to speak in the presence of Diana Nyad. I want to sit at her feet and let her speak. I've long been a fan girl of hers.
I won't speak for Diana, but I'm going to guess her goals were very much athletic. But along the way there's no question she had to test herself emotionally and spiritually and psychologically, far beyond what most people can even imagine.
Just about all our physical adventures end up being spiritual and in some ways changing us. I did set out thinking, "OK, I need to gather my forces again; I need to find my strength again." By that I didn't mean physically, I meant emotionally. I was not at a great point in my life.
When I got out there, it was so much more physical than I had imagined. I was mad at first because I thought, "I'm here to work on my emotions and instead I'm thinking about how much my feet hurt."
But having to think about your feet hurting and keep going ended up being a great way to heal psychic wounds as well.
I was basically physically enacting what I needed to do emotionally. I had to accept my suffering and keep going.
Lumsden: How did you have the courage to trust that people wouldn't hurt you on the trail?
Strayed: I wasn't 100 percent sure I wouldn't be hurt. But we never are, right? We might decide that we're safe when we get in our cars and go to the grocery store. But we may not be.
I decided to reason with myself so that I wouldn't be dominated by my fears. Could I go out there and be the victim of a crime? I could. What are the chances of that? They're pretty minimal, really. And so I just leaned into that rational mind.
I also credit my having grown up in the wilderness of northern Minnesota. I had grown up 20 miles from the nearest town of 400 people, without indoor plumbing during all my teen years, and without electricity and running water for some of them. I am not somebody who felt afraid to be alone in the wilderness
I also credit not having electricity or a TV. The nearest movie theater was many, many miles away. So I don't have those horror-show images in my mind. I never watched any of those scary movies where the girls go on a camping trip and they're all murdered.
The power of the mind is enormous. I tried to not have those negative images in my mind. I just decided not to let fear be my ruler.
Lumsden: You also have this talent for finding redeeming things in the worst experiences. For example, you say in the book, "It occurred to me that growing up poor had come in handy." Do you have to work at that?
Strayed: It's true, I do. I think it begins with my dad. I finally had to accept that this person was my father and come to a place of gratitude about that. The way I would be able to heal my father wound and let go of the sorrow and anger about my dad was to understand that actually I learned so much from him. He gave me so much, even though it wasn't what I hoped to get. It wasn't what any of us hope to get from a dad. For me to turn that around and to make it something that was of value in my life, it was really informative to me.
Honestly, I worry about my own kids. They grew up in a kind of privilege that I never, ever, ever had. I'm being given these wonderful opportunities that I never would have even dreamed of, and the flip side is that they don't get to have the opportunities that I had, which are all about having to make it on my own, having to work always for anything I got.
Like I said in "Wild," I watched my mother have a wonderful life even though we often didn't have a dollar. People think you need a dollar to do the things that make you happy. I know you don't. That contributed to my ability to take the hike.
I hear over and over again, "Well, you didn't have enough money for your trip." I'm always like, "What do you mean I didn't have enough money? I had exactly enough money." But if I had been somebody who said that I needed to make sure I had enough money to go, I would never have.
I credit the experience I had growing up. You learn to do a lot on less. I think that has been one of the most powerful lessons of my life.


I switched to a new keyboard recently (G510 keyboard) and noticed that the Windows Key no longer worked. On Windows 7, this was not such a big deal, but on my Windows 8 installations it was starting to become very annoying. To make matter worse when I searched for it via Microsoft support forums none of their suggestions worked.
How can I enable keyboard shortcuts on Windows 7?
I tried a couple of other places, but I was still unable to find any helpful information. My next step was to focus my search efforts. As you may or may not be aware, you can do a search for a topic and limit the results to a particular domain. You can perform a search like this string example and it will work for either Bing or Google.

Lester & Cantrell prevails in Castillo v. Price Pfister, Inc., et al. appeal
Jul 7, 2018 | Firm News | 0 comments
Lester & Cantrell prevailed in the Second Appellate District on behalf of Defendants Black & Decker and Stanley Black & Decker in Castillo v. Price Pfister, Inc., et al. The case involved the application of California's potentially conflicting statutes of limitations as applied to plaintiff's claimed in vitro toxic exposure at a foundry and plating facility. After plaintiff appealed from the granting of two summary judgments in Defendants' favor, the justices of the Second Division unanimously held that plaintiff's action was barred by California Civil Code Section 340.4. The court rejected plaintiff's argument that later-enacted Civil Code Section 340.8 would revive a claim that had previously lapsed according to Section 340.4. The court held that the outcome of the anticipated decision by the California Supreme Court in Lopez v. Sony Electronics, Inc. would not impact its decision because the Castillo was already "stale" by the time Section 340.8 was adopted. [The Supreme Court did ultimately find Section 340.8 controlling over Section 340.4.]

Q: Webpack 5: reloading/unloading Federated Modules I use logic similar to the following in order to dynamically load FMs for my app:
https://github.com/module-federation/module-federation-examples/blob/master/dynamic-system-host/app1/src/App.js#L16
However, say the remote version of an FM changes and I want to reload it in its entirety, or remove it from my app context altogether - is this even possible and what is the preferred pattern of doing so?

A: I'm also looking into this "problem". However, please check out the example in module-federation-examples/dynamic-system-host. What is this example?

*

*app1 as host application with two buttons

*app2 with a module which exports ./Widgets

*app3 with another module which exports ./Widgets, too

*clicking 1st button in app1 loads the module "./Widgets" from app2

*clicking 2nd button in app1 loads the module "./Widgets" from app3

You can endlessly switch between the implementations.
This proves that you can overwrite a module dynamicly.
How to do a reload of the same module now?
Combine the above app1 with a cache buster on the module URL: ?version=:TIMESTAMP:. This should in theory reload the same module again because the URL is different.


User voted As an opi.wiki/entertainment.
World Wrestling Entertainment is the name of the WWE.
I don't deny the fact that they really get hurt sometimes and, of course, you need to be an accomplished athlete to perform all these stunts on the ring, but, I actually just said it; they're stunts. Just like stunt actors do stunts in movies. And movies are entertainment as well!


Please note: In 2019 there will be changes to the bus routes on campus. The Sebastiaanbrug bridge – the access route from the city – is closed to cars and buses from mid-February due to road works by the Municipality of Delft. Check the Travel Planner and see this map for the changed bus routes. More information (in Dutch) is available at www.delft.nl/sebastiaansbrug.
There are several buses running from Delft railway station to TU Delft campus. There are bus stops all over the campus. Search for a building or consult the travel planner in order to get specific information about bus stops and buses.
Parking is only permitted in the designated parking spaces. The Municipality of Delft actively enforces parking regulations on TU Delft Campus. Make sure you always park in a parking space.

Four Questions for Valerie Chapeau
"Remembering the friendship that evolved between the Doughboys and the population"
By Chris Isleib
Director of Public Affairs, U.S. World War One Centennial Commission
During the Spring 1917, a few weeks after the United States entered World War One, the American General Staff decided that the southern sector of the Loir-et-Cher Department would become a key element in its military strategy. An extensive infrastructure took shape under the American Service of Supply Command (camps, depots, communication lines, transport). Among the many localities that welcomed Uncle Sam's Doughboys, an outstanding example is the Cher Valley and in particular, the town of Gièvres. The U.S. Army Engineer Corps arrived in August 1917 and began construction of an immense supply camp, including a cold storage plant that supplied food for American forces dispatched from Dunkerque to Italy. The sector comprising Noyers-sur-Cher/Saint-Aignan was occupied by the 41st Division as a Replacement Camp. Its mission was to receive and maintain personnel, including classification, training, and assignment of soldiers to replace those wounded or killed in battle. 100 years later, the communities and associations located in the Cher Valley and in the Sologne are celebrating this historical episode by organizing a span of cultural activities. Valerie Chapeau, historian for the French region of Vallée du Cher et du Romorantinais, fills us in on what the region has planned.
The vallée du Cher et du Romorantinais played a key role in World War I for the American troop. Tell us about what happened there.
Quickly after the declaration of war, the American General Staff decided to make of the center of France, and particularly the south of the Loir-et-Cher department, an intermediate base between the landing ports (Saint-Nazaire, Brest) and the fighting areas. This rural territory, well connected by railroad lines, was the ideal place to maintain, train or cure soldiers. Moreover, General J. J. Pershing had made a policy to provide each soldier who landed in France 30 days of training & support. One ton of materiel also arrived for each of them.
To store and deliver this material in the good time, the Service of Supply chose Gièvres, a community located in the southern of the Loir-et-Cher department, to built an immense supply base capable of furnishing food, clothing, and technical, medical and communications equipment for an army of two million men. This depot was called the G.I.S.D (General Intermediate Supply Depot). Its construction began in august 1917. The hugest cold storage plant of the period, after those of Chicago, was also built in order to provide fresh food for American forces dispatched from Dunkerque to Italy.
In February 1918 the first center for airplane assembly was built in Gièvres and Pruniers-en-Sologne. The Air Service Production Center n°2, completed the two air service bases, settled near Tours and Issoudun, which formed and trained pilots. This center was quickly followed by a plant for automobile assembly, which reached a total of 20,000 vehicles by 1919. More than 80,000 American men served in these camps.
The south of the Loir-et-Cher department was also chosen to become the settlement of the 41st division. In the first days of January 1918, an immense camp made of tents and baracks settled in the meadows of the community of Noyers-sur-Cher. Other camps were built, during the following months in the communities of the whole Cher valley.
When it entered in the First World War The United States was not prepared for large-scale war. the regular army comprised only 121,000 soldiers, the National Guard 80,000 and the Marine Corps 13,000. The Americans had rifles but few machine guns or adequate artillery, and had virtually no mortars, grenades, semi-automatic assault weapons, tanks or airplanes. From April 1917, initially with French and British aid, a huge training program was begun to prepare for world war.
The 41st Division, also called the First Depot Division, was in charge to receive and maintain personnel, including classification, training, and assignment of soldiers to replace those wounded or killed in battle. All the Army corps were represented, from artillery to infantry, from elite Marine corps to cavalry, which was based in a former military relay station in Selles-sur-Cher. The methods of training of the 41st Division were excellent and it began the most important depot in the french territory. The other depots imitated its organisation methods and training program.
Our territory had also several military hospitals at Gièvres, Selles-sur-Cher, Noyers-sur-Cher and Pontlevoy. It is even said that a nurse based in the hospital of Noyers-sur-Cher created the insigna of the 41st division, also called The Sunset Division.
Your organization is very interested in remembering this history, and telling this story. Tell us about your organization, and its mission, and its partners.
Since the Fall 2015, several associations and communities of the south of the Loir-et-Cher department which greeted the American camps, prepare actions to commemorate the centennial. By chance, they are all gathered in a French local authority called the « Syndicat Mixte du Pays de la vallée du Cher et du Romorantinais », which carries the distinction of « Pays d'art et d'histoire »*. The president of the Pays de la Vallée du Cher et du Romorantinais offered them to coordinate their action, and to gather them in a general communication program. They accepted it.
The president asked to the responsible of the « Pays d'art et d'histoire » to coordonate the commemorations (hamonize the schedules ; trying to propose a balance program on the whole territory of the Pays de la Vallée du Cher et du Romorantinais ; interface between the associations and communities and official organisms ; looking for financial supports) and to establish an efficient communication plan.
We're helped in our actions by the Assocation France-États-Unis and supported by the US Embassy in France. We also received in the beginning of november the distinction « Centenaire » from the Mission du Centenaire 14-18.
You have many activities planned for this coming year. Tell us about them.
Varied and numerous activities are planned in the south of the Loir-et-Cher department from March to December 2017:
Temporary exhibitions telling the story of the american camps at Pontlevoy, Selles-sur-Cher, Gièvres or Noyers-sur-Cher.
Shows and jazz concerts (the first recording of jazz music was made in 1917)
A great Festival Days at Selles-sur-Cher in July 8 and 9 (Equestrian performances, riders costumed as WW1 soldiers, Military camp, Simulated target practice, Musical interludes : jazz, music, and songs of the time, Meals served in a festive military atmosphere...)
American films proposed in the cinemas of Montrichard, Saint-Aignan, Selles-sur-Cher and Romorantin (Shoulder Arms, Wings, Westfront 1918, All Quiet on the Western Front, Johnny Got His Gun)
Lectures and field visit in the former locations of the camps
At Fall 2017, opening of an exhibition hall at Gièvres, and a permanent exhibition area at Noyers-sur-Cher
The Pays d'art et d'histoire de la Vallée du Cher et du Romorantinais also prepare some educational projects with the schools of its terrority (educational showings of Shoulder Arms, photo exhibition about sports praticed by american soldiers and sports praticed nowadays at school, creation of comic strips in accordance with the national competition « Bulles de Mémoire »).
World War One happened 100 years ago. In the United States, some people see it as a 'forgotten war'. Why is it important for us to remember the people and he events of World War One?
With the WW1, the United States and the world enter in the 20th century. After the war, the US become the most powerful country in the world and spread its supremacy on both economic, politic and military matters.
The end of the WW1, concluded in 1919 by the Versailles Treaty is an indirect cause of the WW2. Remembering WW1 gives some keys to understand why the Great War, also called « La Der des Der » by the harassed french soldiers, was followed only 20 years later by an even more killing conflict.
But for the south of the Loir-et-Cher department, remembering WW1 is also remembering the friendship that evolved between the Doughboys and the population of the region.
After initial observation of these American soldiers speaking a foreign language and having such a different, modern lifestyle, close ties with the local French population became the rule. After the war, many soldiers kept in touch with the families that had welcomed them. Marriages were celebrated, and children born.
We hope that these commemoration will strengthen the friendship between the people of the Loir-et-Cher department and the United States.
* The French Ministry of Culture and Communication attributes the name of « Villes d'art et d'histoire » or « Pays d'art et d'histoire » to local communities that promote their heritage. It guarantees the skills of guide-lecturers and promoters of heritage and the quality of their activities. From Prehistory to 21st century architecture, the cities and regions present their heritage in all its diversity. A network of 187 cities and regions is currently in existence throughout France. The Pays d'art et d'histoire de la Vallée du Cher et du Romorantinais is one of the latest regions to be so distinguished.

God's heart for reaching the nations with the message of salvation has remained strong and consistent all throughout history. Just as the early followers of Jesus Christ were commanded to be witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth, we are seeing that same Great Commission being carried out by the Church today in ripples of transformation throughout the world. It is our passion and desire for the local church to continue to be the visible display and viable demonstration of His love.
This has always been our heart at HMCC: to transform lost people into Christ's disciples who will then transform the world. Over the years, we have seen people's lives be radically changed through the power of the gospel from Ann Arbor to Chicago, Austin, Indonesia and Singapore. We are praying that that as we train up more men and women of God, we will be able to send them to other various nations to participate in that same work of transformation.
In anticipation of the greater things that God has in store, we have been seeking His heart for our future -- a longer term vision that is consistent with what God has already been doing in our church over the years, yet one that will challenge us to go out in faith beyond what is familiar and comfortable. It is a vision that will be expanding, evolving, and extending to reach the nations with the Gospel.
This is HMCC's 2020 Vision.
Planting Churches on or near college campuses in global cities.
We believe that God's means of reaching the nations is through the expansion of the Church and our strategy is to plant churches on or near college campuses in global cities. We want to love the nations by reaching strategic global cities because the best way to influence the nations is through their cities - the best way to reach the cities is by planting churches in them.
As God opens doors for us, we want to be faithful in training up and empowering our university students, single adults, and married couples to be sent out to plant these churches. We will also be partnering with our alumni who are spread throughout all the different parts of the world.
Leveraging College Students to be a catalyst for a student movement that will engage the Great Commission through church planting.
We've seen firsthand how God can work powerfully in a person's college experience. For many who grew up going to church, Jesus becomes personal, real, and daily. For so many others who were "outsiders," the Holy Spirit brings about conviction of sin and faith in Christ as their savior. For all, there is a special window during their lives to shape values and vision according to the Kingdom of God - that's what we get excited for and that's what we've seen God graciously and powerfully do over the years!
The vision that we have received from God is to open avenues for these college students in whom the Holy Spirit has been working. We desire to accomplish this through formative exposure to missions - locally and globally. Our prayer is that the Lord of the harvest would raise up workers who will go and make disciples among the nations. Therefore, we want to rally students together towards this vision, send them out on various short-term projects, and train them for long-term service!
Addressing Key Issues of our time through the Transformasphere Movement.
God makes it clear through Scripture that He does not want His people to be isolated and aloof from the problems of our society. HMCC is committed to serving and influencing our culture as Christ's representatives to the world. We do not dichotomize sacred and secular work, but instead understand that God calls us to live for His glory in all that we do. Out of this conviction to glorify God and bring the transforming power of the Gospel into the world, members of HMCC started a movement called Transformasphere -- meaning to "transform a sphere" of society. The Transformasphere Movement gives us a framework to address the biggest issues of our time through the spheres of society outlined in the acronym CHARGED: commerce, healthcare, arts and media, religious institutions, government, education, and domestic issues. As we engage in these spheres with the restoring, redeeming power of the Gospel, we believe we will see our world transformed.
Over the past several years, we have seen God expand our ministry from Ann Arbor to Chicago to Austin, and now to Jakarta & Singapore. From one church, we've become many. Yet we share the same heart as we live out God's mission together. Over the next ten years as God leads us to plant more churches all around the world, we hope to strengthen our partnership in the gospel by networking all the HMCC churches.
Specifically, we want to partner together to train and disciple members of HMCC to carry out God's vision for our church. One of our goals is to create a Harvest Mission International Institute designed to provide education and equipping in church ministry. As God leads us to plant more churches, we believe the HMI Institute will help train future church plant teams. This is one of the ways that we can pool our resources together for God's greater purposes.
We also hope to network with other churches and ministries. There's much we can learn from others who are faithfully pioneering ministries all over the world. We also desire to be a blessing and resource to other churches as God continues to work in HMCC.
None of our churches can carry out the 2020 Vision alone. But as we partner together, we believe we can see God's vision become a reality.

Higher beef prices will help operations margins as long as prices don't get too high for consumers, analysts say.
Derrell S. Peel, extension livestock marketing specialist at Oklahoma State University, reported Monday, (Jan. 21) boxed beef cutout prices rose 2.9% for Choice cuts and 3.4% for Select cuts during the first three weeks of 2019, compared to a year ago. (Cutout refers to the sum calculated values of the various cuts of beef).
He reported Choice box beef prices were $212.36 per hundredweight for the week ended Jan 18. Select boxed beef prices were $207.07 per hundredweight. Peel noted the middle meats have provided the most support to cutout values in recent months.
Rib cuts have risen the most this year at $344.79 per hundredweight, a 9.8% gain from a year ago. Loin cuts are up 4.7% to $280.80 per hundredweight compared to the same period in 2018. Chuck cuts are down 2.5% from a year ago.
Peel said the brisket market has been a "juggernaut" in recent years with strong barbecue demand. He reports the brisket primal cuts rising 10.4% from a year ago to $190.74 per hundredweight. Peel said brisket primal cuts averaged a 15.8% higher price throughout 2018.

Size - We dedicated an entire guide to Ariat boots because of one major focal point: they're very accurate on sizing. They're one of the few manufacturers who've listened to the people: they made accurate sizing charts and information available, so you're not returning two pairs of boots just to slip into the right pair after weeks of fighting the mail.
Length - These boots come cut off the straight and narrow, literally. Most of these have a nice length and a touch of extra toe wiggle room.
Width - Wide or flat feet? Pay special attention to the width. Most Ariat boots are designed for narrow or slim feet, so try to have your measurements already swritten down for quick reference.
Insole - Ariat's insole may need an upgrade from time to time. We personally recommend switching this out after about six months of use, or adding an additional layer of padding.
Outsole - Ariat's generally have larger outsoles giving you more protection in the field or in your chosen profession. As a result, they also come with a slightly raised heel and arch support.
Toe - Wiggle room, material (steel, carbon fiber, or others), and fabrics: if you need to grab a steel-toe boot for work, or you're just looking for some more protection, the toe material greatly matters. Note; metals in the toe also helps preserve the shape of the leather.
Comfort - You're going to be in these all day, so comfort is one of the focal points. If you're not loving the boots you're in, they're not for you. Ariat provides excellent comfort in all their boots, but do remember, the higher the cut, the harder they will be to put on and take off.
Material - Ariat primarily uses leather, though in other components, there's a few different fabrics or harder materials. Leather is simple to care for and can last you for a lifetime. We've covered care and maintenance further in this guide.
Design - Ariat has a few different lineups: there's athletic-style boots, work boots, all with a Western feel. You found this guide because you want to know what the hype on Ariat is, or you want to know which ones to snag to replace your old ones. You're already in love with this style.
Color - Ariat isn't big on using vibrant dyes, which is a good thing. It keeps it closer to the rugged roots and nature of their style, and harsh colored dyes tend to bleed into your socks. Choose between natural tan, brown, and black colors for you boots, and you can't go wrong.
Waterproofness - Ariat boots come with a little bit of waterproofing (from natural or full-grain leather), but do require maintenance. On average, each Ariat boot will have two to three months of prime waterproof capabilities out of the box.

Q: Repeating each elements of an Eigen Matrix both row wise and column wise Given an Eigen Matrix, say
Eigen::Matrix<float, Eigen::Dynamic, Eigen::Dynamic> A(2, 2);
A << 11, 12, 21, 22;

what is the most elegant way to obtain a matrix B of dimensions 4x4 from A, where each element of A is repeated once both row wise and column wise.
11 11 12 12
11 11 12 12
21 21 22 22
21 21 22 22

I am looking for a generic solution that could scale to any given row and column sizes of A.

A: Using the head of Eigen you write such a repelem in a few lines of code:
template<typename XprType, typename RowFactorType, typename ColFactorType>
auto repelem(const XprType &xpr, RowFactorType row_factor, ColFactorType col_factor) {
    using namespace Eigen;

    const int RowFactor = internal::get_fixed_value<RowFactorType>::value;
    const int ColFactor = internal::get_fixed_value<ColFactorType>::value;
    const int NRows = XprType::RowsAtCompileTime == Dynamic || RowFactor == Dynamic ? Dynamic : XprType::RowsAtCompileTime*RowFactor;
    const int NCols = XprType::ColsAtCompileTime == Dynamic || ColFactor == Dynamic ? Dynamic : XprType::ColsAtCompileTime*ColFactor;
    const int nrows = internal::get_runtime_value(row_factor) * xpr.rows();
    const int ncols = internal::get_runtime_value(col_factor) * xpr.cols();

    return xpr(
        Array<int,NRows,1>::LinSpaced(nrows,0,xpr.rows()-1),
        Array<int,NCols,1>::LinSpaced(ncols,0,xpr.cols()-1)
    );
}

Usage:
Array22i A;
A << 1, 2, 3, 4;
std::cout << repelem(A,2,2) << "\n";

Full demo: https://godbolt.org/z/rYgDxF
This code might look a bit complicated but it is so to preserve compile-time sizes as proved by the following test:
Array22i A;
static_assert(decltype(repelem(A,fix<2>,fix<2>))::RowsAtCompileTime==4,"Bad compile-time size");

People can track its inclusion within Eigen there.
