27 Amazing Places Around the World to Explore from Home
Published by Kate Chamberlain on May 15, 2020 May 15, 2020
The world may have temporarily closed up shop for now, but don't let that you experiencing (sort of) some of the planet's most amazing places! You can explore many top attractions virtually, from cultural icons like the Louvre, Machu Picchu and Petra, to natural ones like the Galapagos Islands, Grand Canyon and Australia's Uluru.
Clicking around a screen is hardly the same as the real thing, but it CAN give a little taste and maybe inspire you to plan some bucket list trips for when the world is back to normal. No one knows exactly when that will happen, only that it will. When it does, we'll be right here to help you travel again.
Angkor, Cambodia
One of the most incredible archaeological sites in the world, the ruins of the once lost city of Angkor cover a vast area. The highlight here is Angkor Wat, the largest religious monument in the world. Tour Angkor virtually.
The Louvre, France
The Louvre in Paris is one of the world's most famous museums – certainly the most famous in Europe – and houses the world's most celebrated painting (Da Vinci's Mona Lisa) and plenty more treasures from all times and places. Tour the Louvre virtually
Taj Mahal, India
One of the most beautiful buildings ever constructed, the Taj Mahal is an icon of India. It's actually a mausoleum and was built about 400 years ago by the Moghul emperor Shah Jahan to house the tomb of his wife. Tour the Taj Mahal virtually.
Stonehenge, UK
One of the UK's top attractions, this prehistoric stone circle has been standing for 5000(ish) years – about the same time as the Great Pyramid of Giza. Its construction has been baffling historians for centuries. Tour Stonehenge virtually.
Ambrym Volcano, Vanuatu
This highly active volcano, located in the Vanuatu archipelago, is off-limits to tourists, but some daring explorers had a look around its crater and filmed what they saw. Which was lava, mainly, and lots of it. Tour Ambrym Volcano virtually.
Venice is an attraction in its own right and considered by many to be the most beautiful city ever built. Spread across 100+ islands in a shallow lagoon in Northern Italy, the city has no roads, just canals, and over 400 bridges traversing them. Top highlights include St Mark's Square, Rialto Bridge and Doge's Palace. Tour Venice virtually.
Great Barrier Reef, Australia
The Great Barrier Reef, which stretches for 1400 glorious miles up the northeast coast of Australia, is one of the world's greatest natural wonders.

Petra, Jordan
Carved into the rose pink walls of a canyon in southern Jordan, the ancient city of Petra is an extraordinary sight. The Treasury is the most iconic building, but surrounding it is an entire complex of man made caves and other ruins. Tour Petra virtually.
Yosemite, USA
One of the most loved national parks in America, Yosemite is a place of spectacular beauty, characterised by sheer granite cliffs, stunning lakes, impressive waterfalls and incredible biodiversity. Tour the Yosemite virtually.
Sagrada Familia, Spain
The final (and still unfinished) masterpiece of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi, the Sagrada Familia is Barcelona's top attraction. The entry fee is thought by some to be a little on the steep side, so now's the perfect opportunity to skip the fee (and the queue) and see it virtually. Tour the Sagrada Familia virtually
Giant's Causeway, UK
Made up of tens of thousands of basalt columns and located on the north coast of Northern Ireland, Giant's Causeway is one of the UK's best natural wonders. It was also one of several places in the country to feature in Game of Thrones. Tour the Giant's Causeway virtually.

Housing masterpieces from artists including Van Gogh, Da Vinci, Picasso, Renoir and Monet, the Met, as it's known to its New York locals, is one of the world's greatest museums. Tour the Met virtually.
Great Wall of China, China
Snaking its way for thousands of miles over mountain ridges through northern China, the Great Wall of China is one of the most impressive things built. Much of it is still standing centuries later. Tour the Great Wall of China virtually.
The dizzying skyscrapers of Dubai look like something straight out of the future. You can have a virtual fly around their huge heights on this 360 virtual tour. Tour Dubai virtually.
Son Doong Cave, Vietnam
Only surveyed for the first time in 2010, Son Doong Cave is the largest in the world, hidden deep in the mountains of Vietnam. Unlike most places on this list, the cave isn't (yet) accessible to tourists even in normal times. A virtual tour is your best option either way! Tour Son Doong Cave virtually.
Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park, Australia
Otherwise known as Ayers Rock, Uluru is an enormous monolith in the center of Australia. It's one of the greatest natural wonders in the world. Nearby is another equally impressive (though less famous) rock formation called Kata Tjuta (or the Olgas). Tour Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park virtually
When the world has returned to normal, remember we'll be able to get you to all these places and anywhere else you want to explore with our discount student flights. Until then, keep yourself safe, and we'll see you back in the big wide world soon.

The American College of Cardiology develops a broad range of policy documents to provide members with practical guidance on clinical topics. Expert Consensus Documents (now known as Expert Consensus Decision Pathways) are intended to provide clinician guidance in areas in which evidence may be new or evolving, or lack sufficient data to fully inform clinical decision-making. The purpose of this Expert Consensus Decision Pathway was to summarize key points from emerging studies and to provide succinct, practical guidance on the use of specific glucose-lowering agents for reducing cardiovascular (CV) risk in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and clinical atherosclerotic CV disease.
The authors suggest that their recommendations provide a paradigm shift in how CV specialists should approach the care of patients with T2D. Previously, CV care in diabetes was focused on risk factor optimization, with medications used for glycaemic control not expected to provide CV benefit. The recent development of sodium glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1Ras) has demonstrated proven reduction in acute myocardial infarction, stroke, CV death and heart failure hospitalizations (the latter for SGLT2 inhibitors only) in large, randomized clinical trials.
In summary, the treatment algorithms proposed in this document should be used to complement existing guidelines for the prevention of major adverse CV events in T2D and should be applied in the context of guideline-directed diabetes care. As evidence for novel therapies is still emerging and further CV outcomes trials are ongoing, it is likely that the proposed treatment algorithms will change as further information arises.

The collapse of Classic Maya civilization linked to drought
&body=https://www.heritagedaily.com/2012/11/the-collapse-of-classic-maya-civilization-linked-to-drought/63146">
Xcaret Mayan Ruins : Wiki Commons
The Classic Maya culture thrived in rainy times and then collapsed in turmoil as the weather turned to drought, according to new research.
An international project including Durham University, UK, and led by researchers from Pennsylvania State University, USA, and ETH Zurich, Switzerland, has created a precisely-dated record of rainfall from cave deposits in the Classic Maya region, and compared it to a 'war index' of hostile events recorded on stone monuments. The research has enabled the team to create a unique historical timeline linking climate and culture in unprecedented detail.
The war index is based on how often certain keywords occurred in Mayan inscriptions on carved stone monuments, and the researchers were able to chart how increases in war and unrest were associated with periods of drought.
The discovery of the Bonampak murals, representing war scenes, contradicted ancient pacifist theories that idealized ancient Maya (reproduction exhibited at Museo Nacional de Antropología, Mexico City). Wiki Commons
The new datasets provide a unique insight into how a civilisation prospered and developed, expanding into large cities, during a period of favourable climate and then collapsed following climate change between AD 660 and 1100.
Maya rulers commissioned monuments to record events and the research team found the frequency of texts carved on stone monuments pointing to status rivalry, war and strategic alliances increased significantly between AD 660 and 900, during the drying trend.
The findings are published in the journal Science.
The lead researchers were Professor Douglas Kennett, Pennsylvania State University, USA, and Dr Sebastian Breitenbach, ETH Zurich.
Professor Douglas Kennett said: "It is not just climate drying and drought that is important, but the preceding conditions that helped stimulate societal complexity and population expansion. This set the stage for societal stress and the fragmentation of political institutions later in time as conditions became drier."
Dr James Baldini, Department of Earth Sciences, Durham University (UK), led the cave monitoring portion of the study.
Dr Baldini said: "The rise and fall of Mayan civilisation is an example of a sophisticated civilisation failing to adapt successfully to climate change. Periods of high rainfall increased the productivity of Maya agricultural systems and led to a population boom and resource overexploitation. The progressively drier climate then led to political destabilisation and warfare as resources were depleted.
"After years of hardship, a nearly century-long drought from 1020 sealed the fate of the Classic Maya."
The role of climate change in the fall of the classic Maya civilisation had previously been suggested, but remained controversial due to dating uncertainties in previous climate records.
The research team reconstructed rainfall for the last 2000 years using the chemistry of stalagmites from Yok Balum cave in Belize. The cave is located 1.5 kilometres from the Classic Period Maya site of Uxbenká and is close to other major Maya centres, all influenced by the same climate systems.
Then, because the Mayans recorded political events and their dates meticulously on carved stone monuments, the team was able to compare its climate reconstruction with the changing frequency of warfare. These war-related events were recorded by Dr Martha Macri (co-author, University of California, Davis) in the "Maya Hieroglyphic Database" and the well-dated occurrences of these words were compiled and the frequency compared to changes in climate.
Professor Kennett said: "The historical texts carved on stone monuments provide a rich record of wars, marriages, accessions of kings and queens, and the capture and killing of warriors from competing groups. The events are incredibly well dated with the Mayan long count calendar system.
"The end of this tradition of stone carving between AD 800 and 1000 marks the widespread collapse of the Classic Maya tradition."
Harriet Ridley, a Durham University PhD student who co-authored the paper, added: "The multi-disciplinary nature of this study contributed to its success. Meticulous archaeological archiving and an extremely well-dated rainfall reconstruction mean that we are able to make confident links between political events and rainfall shifts."
Climate changes in the region were driven by the shifting position of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (the ITCZ, a belt of rainfall encircling the Earth) and the frequency and strength of El Niño events. The researchers believe that during the Maya Collapse, the ITCZ may have failed to reach far enough north resulting in catastrophic drought.

Using chemical and mineral analyses of stalagmite layers, the researchers were able to reconstruct a record of weather in the Maya region over the past two millennia.
The rainfall reconstruction matches up well with historically documented climate events, including a drought between AD 1535 and 1575 which was linked with reduced agricultural productivity, famine, war, disease, widespread death, and population relocation. The documented cultural effects of this drought provide an analogue for what might have occurred during the Classic Maya Collapse, the researchers believe.
The Classic Maya region covers portions of Mexico, Belize, Guatemala and Honduras.
The research team included institutions in the USA, Switzerland, the UK, Germany, and Belize. The study was funded by the National Science Foundation, the European Research Council, the Swiss National Science Foundation, the German Science Foundation and the Alphawood Foundation.
Key Dates in Maya Prehistory:
40BC-AD100: Rise El Mirador:
AD 100-300: El Mirador decline
AD 100-300: Rise Tikal & Uxbenká
AD 400-500: Early Classic expansion and rapid development of Maya populations and key cities
AD 800-900: The Maya Lowlands collapse
AD 900-1000: Northward political/demographic shift
AD 1040-1100: Chichen Itza Collapse
Note: The Classic Maya culture (AD 300 to 1000) flourished in the Central American rainforests and developed a sophisticated culture, complex architecture (notably pyramids), and an accurate calendar system. This calendar is said by some to predict the end of the world in December 2012. The Classic Maya culture collapsed mysteriously between AD 800 and 1100.

Ensco's contract with Petrobras may have got the ball rolling on what could be a tough 2016.
What: Shares of Ensco (NYSE:ESV) declined 36% in January. The large catalyst for the decline came when Petrobras (NYSE:PBR) announced it was voiding a contract for one of Ensco's drillships.
So what: The year hasn't been kind to Ensco thus far, and by the looks of the company's fleet status reports things may only be getting worse from here. Petrobras' decision to void the contract with Ensco goes back to when the drillship in question was owned by Pride International -- Ensco bought pride back in 2011. As part of the investigation of corruption at Petrobras, investigators are claiming that Pride had knowledge of improper payments from the shipbuilder to a marketing consultant with ties to Petrobras. Ensco has said it found no such evidence to support this claim, but it doesn't change the fact that this particular drillship is now out of work.
To make matters worse, Ensco has to deal with the fact that a decent chunk of its rigs will go off contract in 2016. Based on most capital spending budgets from big oil companies and others that have reported spending plans, it doesn't look like there will be a huge appetite for taking on new rigs. With the company already seeing cash flows get tight, this could make it incredibly difficult to keep its unused equipment idle and pay for the rigs it currently has under construction.
Now what: This downturn in oil and gas is dragging on and on much longer than most people anticipated 12 to 18 months ago, and now companies such as Ensco are facing some pretty tough decisions. Ensco has been one of the more conservative companies in the space with a much more modest balance sheet, but the amount of rigs going off contract and the amount of idle equipment it has will be challenging for any company. For investors watching this space, it's probably best to hold off before making any decisions about this company's stock.

Relocating to a new area marks a new chapter in your life. But, although exciting, it is not without its challenges. The first being having to search for 'the perfect' home in a place you're not familiar with. Moving into temporary accommodation such as a serviced apartment in Milton Keynes will help to take some of the pressure off house-hunting giving you more time to find what suits you and your family the most.
Make a list of all the you will require during and post your move such as dentist, doctor, schools, estate agent, solicitors, sports facilities and other local amenities. This will guide you in your research of potential areas you may wish to relocate to.
Use the Internet to research within a set radius of where you will be working (it is useful to note that travelling around Milton Keynes is a lot less congested during peak hours versus other cities in the UK with a duel carriage way system on all major routes).
Once you have short listed a few areas, there is a website you can use that will give detailed information about your initial choices. You will need to enter a postcode into www.homecheck.co.uk to get an instant report of your prospective neighbourhood. The risk of flooding, subsidence, landslips, radon gas leaks, the local air quality and pollution, are all available in an easy-to-understand format. The information comes from various sources including the British Geological Society and the Environment Agency. The site also has details of schools, property prices, crime rates and local amenities.
The website Up My Street at www.upmystreet.com provides information about local council services, local schools, crime statistics and local leisure information as well as local house prices based on recent sales.
As part of your initial or post-relocation online research, another useful site is www.primelocation.com where you can search for your nearest garden-centre, hairdresser, tennis club etc.
To find out which are the best schools in the area, go to www.dfes.gov.uk. The results and overall performance of both primary and secondary schools are listed here.
Are you relocating to Milton Keynes and have decide that temporary accommodation is the best initial step before buying property? Then contact a Cotels representative for full details on our fully furnished and equipped apartments Milton Keynes. We even have virtual tours of our penthouse, 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments so that you can get a real feel for what we have to offer including our budget apartments located just outside of Central Milton Keynes.


Personal Audio may have been permanently silenced.
The venerable podcast is the bastion of broadcasters big and small, from major news outlets to DIY publishers. But, for the last few years, this hallowed ground has come under threat from patent troll Personal Audio -- which has tried to sue podcasters of all sizes. It claims it created the concept of the podcast. Thankfully, the U.S. Court of Appeals disagrees. A three-judge panel of the court just affirmed a previous decision rendering Personal Audio's patent invalid. The ruling declares the company was trying to protect an invention that already existed. Meaning podcasters and listeners can rest easy, for now.
Sure enough, internet audio shows were alive and kicking as far back as the early '90s. But that didn't stop Personal Audio from filing for a patent that effectively covered all podcasts made after 1996. Upon receiving it in 2012, the company began demanding licensing money from big-name podcasters, such as Adam Carolla, and CNN. By 2014 -- the year in which it won a lawsuit against CBS -- its podcasting patent had become the scourge of the industry.
Then, in 2015, came a legal breakthrough: US patent officials dealt Personal Audio its first blow by quashing some of the core claims of its patent. With the federal appeals court upholding that decision, the company's future legal campaigns don't stand a chance. Now, the only option left for Personal Audio is to ask the Supreme Court to hear the case. Even then, it could still find it extremely difficult to hound podcasters for dough. Therefore, you can stay safe in the knowledge that the likes of Stuff You Should Know and This American Life won't be cut short by a nefarious troll.

Management of product requirements and configurations in a product lifecycle in different organizational units can be a great challenge for a company.
The PLM data model must be mapped completely and consistently.
Product lifecycles must be mapped on all PLM objects. Dependencies between single PLM objects within the product lifecycle must be guaranteed.
A complete, transparent and consistent management of product data changes/product configurations over the entire PLM data model must be guaranteed.
To increase the data quality, to map specific product states and to reduce throughput times, processes and responsibilities must be defined.
Reporting of product states with defined data models and entire product lifecycles must be possible.
Definition and mapping of an entire PLM data model will be possible. Product lifecycle can be set up for all PLM objects in all organizational units. Definitions of dependencies between PLM objects allow consistent maintenance, check and release of product configurations.
Complete and consistent management of product data changes, product configuration states allow traceability and an automatic and reliable reporting of dynamic baselines.
With defined scenarios, a controlled and efficient data of the organization specific PLM data model will be possible. With check and release processes based on workflows responsibilities can be controlled, master data changes can be validated and released specifically.
This leads to an implementation of consistent PLM processes from product launch and client construction over to change processes and product handling up to product outlet.

Ulule is a platform of French origin which facilitates the participatory financing of creative, innovative, or community-minded projects thanks to the participation of Internet users.
In other words, Ulule offers any interested person the opportunity to turn a good idea into reality, whether the owner of the idea is a company, an organisation or a private individual. An approach which is undoubtedly attractive and which fits in easily with the existing financing chain: shareholders' equity, debt, grants, sponsorships etc. An interview with Arnaud Burgot, CEO of Ulule.
What is the model used by Ulule?
"Technically, we would refer to it as a "Reward-based" model, or participatory financing with rewards. The principle is simple: an entrepreneur posts his project on the Ulule website. He details the budget to be reached in order to realise his project, the term of the fundraising and the exclusive rewards he is offering in return for the support of Internet users. For example: a copy of the product or a dvd with the short film made with the help of the Internet users who agreed to be involved in the financing.
Who is this type of financing aimed at? What advantages does it have?
"It is a method of financing which suits B2C projects, since the potential funders are Internet users. For the investor who is looking for capital, it is first and foremost a very flexible method of financing which creates a direct link with the public. This allows him not only to raise the capital but also to assess the reaction of the public to his project. In some ways it is a real-life test.
"For participants, they are very small. Historically, the number of projects on Ulule which have reached their targets and not granted their promised rewards can be counted on the fingers of one hand. Since a participant never invests a significant amount, the main issue is the loss of trust towards the project owner, who will be overlooked in future.
Do you operate on a national or international level?
Has legislation evolved to allow this type of financing?
In what sense is there a partnership with the banking world?
What advice would you give to candidates?
"There's plenty! The most important advice: rely on your direct personal network in order to find the initial financers and, in particular, the first ambassadors for the project. Crowdfunding is a method of financing which has a snowball effect. If one person relays your project to his personal network, this leverages the level of communication about your activity and makes the search for financing much easier.

LF Ryan Braun and 1B Prince Fielder won Silver Slugger Awards from the MLB tonight.
The awards, presented by Louisville Slugger, are awarded to the top hitters at each position in each league.
It is the second Slugger of Fielder's career. He won it in 2007, but it's going to Albert Pujols each of the last three years.
It is actually the fourth consecutive Silver Slugger for Braun. The last NL outfielder to win four consecutive? Barry Bonds from 00-04.
Braun says longevity and consistency are what every baseball player hopes to achieve and winning four Silver Sluggers in a row shows consistency.
Braun led the NL with a .994 OPS and .597 slugging percentage. He (somewhat famously) finished second to Jose Reyes with a .332 batting average. His 336 total bases and 109 runs scored also ranked second in the league. He ranked fourth with 111 RBIs and tied for sixth with 33 home runs.
As Fielder had lost to Pujols the past few years, it took quite an offensive season to win the title back. Fielder just barely edged Pujols in home runs (38 to 37), but had significantly better numbers in RBIs (120 to 99), OPS (.981 to .906) and total bases (322 to 313).
Fielder finished second in the NL in homers, RBIs, walks (107) and on-base percentage (.415). He also was the only player to start all 162 games.
Pitcher Yovani Gallardo joined Braun on the list last year, making this the second-consecutive year that two Brewers earned the honor.


You heard right folks! Your favorite real-estate duo return to Netflix for a second season on 3/23/18. Haven't watched season 1 yet? Stop what you're doing, head over to Netflix, and begin the binge watching. Then return here, mouth agape, and continue reading about the wacky antics the Hammond family is sure to get into.
Last season left us with more questions than answers. At the end of that ten episode first season, things were not looking great. Joel had landed himself in a mental institution, for trying to get poor Baka drunk enough to vomit in a bucket. If you don't remember, the family needed that pure Serbian vomit to synthesize a formula to help Sheila's deterioration problem. Not just the toe breaking off or her eyeballs falling out, but the degradation of her ability to control her actions.
With Joel in the nut-house, Sheila finds that the best solution for their current situation is something a tad strange to ask your child for. "Honey, I need you to do something for me. Chain mommy in the basement." This should, in theory, keep her from going full-zombie and going on a rampage of brains and funny quips. I'm not entirely sure I'd hate seeing that, but it would definitely leave the family in danger.
Abby is left holding "the book" and the future of her family in her hands. Dr. Cora Wolf decides that staying in a house where the fridge is filled with human body parts isn't a good way to keep her position as head of a biotech company. She mentions that Abby is a resourceful girl, and leaves her with the tools she needs to get this sorted. I guess Abby's little convulsion skit (what happened to the rule of three?!) really won Dr. Wolf over in the end.
Some more zombie backstory! We know Sheila is undead. We know there is a giant Serbian book that tells all about this phenomena that's been happening for ages. How did Sheila get turned in the first place? How exactly did she turn Loki during that fight? Only guesses exist for now. Hopefully season 2 answers what we need to know about what is happening to Sheila, and what can be expected from her condition as a whole.
Another thing fans everywhere want to see is some movement on the Abby and Eric front. He's such a lovable nerd, with arguably strange tendencies, who is madly in love with Abby. Obviously she has a few more important things on her mind, being that her father is in the nut-house and her mother is slated to become a mindless murderer pretty soon, but the chemistry between those two is boiling over more than the beaker Eric clutches at the end of the season. I know Abby's character has it in her to become even more of an integral part of the survival of her family, it'd be nice to see her enjoy some more playful romantic attention too.
More Joel. So much more Joel. While Drew Barrymore has done an excellent job in her role thus far, Timothy Olyphant has truly taken his character to incredible heights. He constantly struggles between being a supporting husband to the woman he married, and the sheer madness of all that transpired thus far. Joel is such a lovable character, because he continues to do what needs to be done for his family. We're all waiting on the edge of our seats to see just how much insanity he can handle before he snaps. Good thing he's already in the looney-bin!
If you're just as excited as I am to follow along with the lovable Hammond family on their crazy journey, feel free to comment below! This season is sure to land them in way more insane situations, and they've already proven to be able to handle themselves: though definitely not in the most effective ways. Check out the trailer for season two below if you haven't already, and come visit us each week as we review the new episodes. See you soon!

Bohemia has an area of 20,065 square miles, with a population of about 6,700,000; Moravia 8,584 square miles, with a population of about 2,600,000; Silesia 1,988 square miles, with a population of about 757,000; and Slovakia about 25,000 square miles, with a population estimated in 1919 at between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000. In all these countries the population is of the Slavic race, though in Bohemia there is a large proportion of Germans. The Czech, or Bohemians, are by far the most important of these various peoples, both in numbers and culture, and are now the dominant political element. The capital of the Republic is in the Bohemian city of Prague, whose population is about 550,000. In culture and the educational level of its people it ranks with the most progressive cities of Europe, having two universities, one Bohemian, the other German. In the whole of the Bohemian population the percentage of illiteracy is only 2 per cent. Another important city is Pressburg, in Slovakia, also the site of a modern university. Slovakia, of a much lower cultural level, is inhabited by an agricultural people, of simple manners and a lower standard of living.
The frontiers of the Republic, though not definitely agreed upon in the beginning of 1920, were roughly as follows: Hungary on the N., on the W., Hungary to the Danube, along the Danube to the outlet of Eipel, along the Eipel to Zombat, thence to the mouth of the Ung river, along the Ung to the Uzsok Heights.
The Czechs, or Bohemians, had behind them a history as a free people to inspire their struggles for independence in modern times. Bohemia had been an independent kingdom in the Middle Ages, becoming a part of the Austrian Empire in 1526. The Slovaks, who, in the 9th century, formed the nucleus of the great Moravian kingdom, were subjugated by the Magyars in 907, after the bloody Battle of Pressburg, and have been very much oppressed by the Hungarian kings.
In recent times the movement for independence was most strongly organized among the Czechs. For many years there existed among them a secret revolutionary organization, popularly known as the Mafia, the name being taken from the well-known Sicilian order of the same name. At the head of this underground movement was Dr. Szamal, and Dr. Voita Benes, the latter now a prominent member of the official government. Little is known of the activities of the Mafia because of the secrecy with which they were carried on, no one member knowing more than two of his comrades, but it was famous for the perfection of its intelligence system, its spies being installed even in the imperial household and in all the offices of the Cabinet ministers.
With the outbreak of the World War, in 1914, the movement for Czech national independence began to manifest itself in the open. A National Council appeared shortly afterward in Paris and sought recognition from the Entente nations and the United States. That the people of both Bohemia and Slovakia stood squarely behind the movement became only too evident to the Austrian Government, from the behavior of the Czech and Slovak contingents that were sent to the front. At first they were sent to the eastern front, against the Russians. In at least several instances the Austrian defeats were due to the wholesale defection of the Czechs and Slovaks. On one occasion a whole regiment marched out of the Austrian trenches, with the regimental band playing a revolutionary march, and joined the Russians. So common became these desertions that finally the Czech and Slovak contingents were sent to the Italian front, where they were placed in positions entailing heaviest losses. To these losses the Austrian Government afterward pointed as proof of the loyalty of the Czech and Slovak troops. But throughout the war the disloyalty of these elements in the Austrian forces was a continuous source of military weakness, and accounted for their vast inferiority to the Germans.
The attention of the public of the Allied countries was first attracted to the national aspirations of the Czecho-Slovaks when, after the Russian disintegration following the Revolution (March, 1917), the Czech and Slovak contingents which had deserted on the eastern front suddenly emerged as the only remaining cohesive force in the Russian Army. They formed the backbone of the July offensive, which represented the last effort of the Kerensky Government to carry on the Russian operations against the Central Empires, but were not strong enough to make a success of this vast effort. Later, after the downfall of Kerensky's moderate Socialist Government, the Czecho-Slovaks refused to join the Bolsheviki and received permission from the latter to make their way to western Europe through Siberia. Regretting this promise, the Bolsheviki endeavored to disarm the Czecho-Slovaks en route, whereupon the latter, asserting themselves, turned upon the Bolsheviki and succeeded in driving them out of a greater part of Siberia, and thus formed the backbone of the subsequent intervention of the Allies in Russia.
The brilliant exploit of the Czecho-Slovaks in Siberia attracted world-wide attention to them, and led to official recognition of their movement for independence by the Allies and the United States. On Dec. 10, 1917, Premier Clemenceau of France authorized the formation of a distinct Czecho-Slovak army in France, to co-operate with the Allies on the western front. On April 23, 1918, the Italian Government formally recognized the belligerency of the Czecho-Slovak nation; British recognition followed, on Aug. 3, 1918, that of the United States was announced on Sept. 2, 1918, and that of Japan on Sept. 9, 1918. But already on May 29, 1918, Secretary Lansing, representing the United States, announced officially that "the national aspirations of the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugoslavs for freedom have the earnest sympathy of the United States." In the following June the United States Government officially permitted the Czecho-Slovak representatives in this country to recruit men for a Slavic legion.
Early in April, 1918, after the disintegration of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was well under way, popular demonstrations for independence took place in Prague. So widespread were these disorders that a state of siege was proclaimed by the Austrian authorities and many of the popular leaders were executed. On Oct. 21, 1918, the independence of the Czecho-Slovak peoples was officially proclaimed by the National Council; a general uprising took place in Prague and the city passed almost bloodlessly out of the nerveless hands of its Austrian rulers. On Oct. 28, a week later, a provisional government was organized and installed in Prague. On Nov. 2, 1918, the leaders of the revolution met in Geneva, Switzerland, and drafted a system of organic laws for the new republic, which included equal suffrage for the sexes and referendum voting for all important legislation. On Nov. 10 a provisional National Assembly met in Prague and elected the first President of the Republic, the honor falling to the prominent Czech scholar and historian, Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, who was then in the United States on a diplomatic mission. On Dec. 22, 1918, the new President was officially inaugurated into office in Prague, together with his Cabinet, the Prime Minister of which was Dr. Karl Kramarz, with the prominent revolutionary leader, Voita Benes, as Minister of Foreign Affairs.
The new government was based on constitutional provisions as liberal as those of the most liberal governments of the world, being largely modeled after the principles of the Constitution of the United States. These included the complete freedom of religious worship, freedom of the press, speech, petition, the right of assembly, the separation of state and church; universal suffrage, including women, the national representation of minorities and proportional representation. The new National Assembly, which was to remain in power until proper popular elections could be held, was composed of 260 members. The following parties were represented: Agrarians, the peasants' party, 54; Social Democrats, 50; Slovaks, 50; State-Right Democrats, a moderate Liberal party, 44; Socialists, 28; Clericals, 28; and Progressives, representing a liberal middle class element, 6.
The newly organized government of the Czecho-Slovak Republic had tremendous difficulties to face from the very moment it took up its task of administration. First of all Austria had been the heaviest sufferer from the war, economically considered. Supplies of foodstuffs were almost completely depleted, not only in Czecho-Slovakia, but in the neighboring countries as well. The deterioration of the railroads and their rolling stock had reached a point where they had almost ceased to operate, nor did the new state have any opening to the sea. Of railroad lines there were 13,000 kilometers in the countries, including a main line running through Prague from northern Europe down to the Balkans and Constantinople. Thus, the possibilities of future development of transportation were given. Furthermore, the territory of the Republic held within it excellent resources. Before the war its cotton output had been 85 per cent. of that of the whole Austrian Empire; its wool production had been 95 per cent. of the total; its metal production 70 per cent., and 50 per cent. of motor transport vehicles in the Austrian Empire had been manufactured in Bohemia. Thus the plants for production were there, and had only to be worked, as soon as the raw materials could be procured.
As in all countries which had suffered severely, there was in Czecho-Slovakia a strong radical sentiment among the working classes. In the neighboring state of Hungary this finally culminated in the ascent into power of a purely Bolshevist government. This same element was a powerful tendency toward disintegration in Czecho-Slovakia as well, but there it was fought more successfully. On Jan. 11, 1919, an attempt was made by the Bolsheviki, or Communists, to assassinate the Premier, Dr. Kramarz, largely on account of his declaration of policy in favor of retaining the big landed estates intact. The attempt failed, and aroused strong popular sentiment against the minor Communist elements, but nevertheless the conservative policy of the Premier proved unpopular among the representatives of the people as a whole. In July, 1919, Kramarz and his Cabinet resigned in favor of the Socialists, who established a new government, with Vlastimil Tusar as Premier, Dr. Benes remaining as Foreign Minister. The Social Democrats and the Agrarians remained the dominating parties, the first leading. This change was fully ratified by the popular elections, which took place at this time in Bohemia. On Oct. 28, 1919, President Masaryk made a memorable speech before the national Assembly, in which he formulated the policies of the Government. He expressed himself very strongly against Bolshevism, considering it only the frantic remedy of a desperate people beset by economic ills that had become unbearable, but at the same time, he declared, the Government would countenance no policy of intervention either in Russia or Hungary, and Czecho-Slovakia would, therefore, not join in any of the Allied efforts in that direction. He proclaimed the Government's policy to be that of peaceful evolution toward high ideals, which might eventually demand many radical changes, but these must be brought about gradually and without bloodshed. He was convinced that the ideals of the Bolsheviki were not at fault; he deplored only their methods. For his Government also had as its ultimate ideal the socialization of the big industries. He plainly enunciated a moderate socialist program, a startling fact, since the President had never before been associated with Socialistic principles. "This policy," he said, finally, "may be termed crass materialism, but the materialism of the hungry is worthy of more consideration than the materialism of the overfed." The words of its chief executive plainly indicated that Czecho-Slovakia had joined those nations which have definitely set out on the path toward political Socialism.
During the first year the Czecho-Slovak Government had already begun the formation of a strong national army. This was later augmented by the seasoned troops which arrived in small contingents from Siberia. Already, before the frontiers of the Republic had been definitely fixed by the international boundary commissions of the Paris Peace Conference there developed difficulties with the neighboring states of Poland and Hungary, which on several occasions culminated in actual hostilities and military operations. In January, 1919, there had been serious operations against the Poles in western Galicia, over the Teschen district, which was still disputed territory important on account of its valuable coal deposits and the sovereignty of which was still to be decided by plebiscite. A month later the Czecho-Slovak troops advanced against the forces of the Hungarian Communist Government, and open warfare continued until July, when the Czecho-Slovaks were badly defeated, and were only saved from disaster by the action of the Peace Conference, in Paris, which intervened in their behalf. Great satisfaction was felt throughout the Republic when the publication of the Peace Treaty between the Allies and Germany announced the provisions in favor of Czecho-Slovakia. By its terms it was assured of an economic outlet to the Adriatic, special rights being granted in the matter of railroad transportation to Fiume and Trieste. Furthermore, Germany was also bound to lease to Czecho-Slovakia, for a period of 99 years, terminal and shipping space in Hamburg and Stettin, the details of which were to be worked out by a special commission on which Germany, Great Britain, and Czecho-Slovakia were to be equally represented. A favorable outcome of the Teschen dispute with Poland was also obtained when, in August, 1920, the Council of Ambassadors in Paris, which had been arbitrating the difficulty, awarded Czecho-Slovakia the western district of the territory in question, containing the coal mines, Poland being awarded the city of Teschen.
In July, 1920, the popularly elected National Assembly was installed, the First National Assembly being dissolved in April. The legislative body consisted of two chambers; a Senate, of 150 members, and the Chamber of Deputies, of 300 members, the members of the former being elected for eight years and the members of the latter for six years. The preponderance of power is, however, with the lower house, the Senate having little more than the veto power. At the same time President Masaryk was re-elected to office for a term of seven years. Following this there was a reorganization of the Cabinet, formal rather than real, since the personnel of the Cabinet remained practically the same, the Social Democrats and Agrarians retaining their power. Signs of future stability were in evidence, for while food was still scarce in the larger cities in 1920, on account of poor railroad transportation, the crops of 1919 had been unusually good, and those of 1920 promised to be equally abundant. In his speech before the National Assembly, after his election, the President again emphasized the socialistic ideals of the government and the desire to accomplish this peacefully, not only within the Republic, but through peaceful relations with all other nations.

2) Brazo Metalico Jr., Daga, Eragon b Hijo del Signo, Maldito Jr., Samoth
3) Oficial 911, Trauma I, Trauma II b Freelance, Jack, Ultramán Jr.
4) Avisman, El Hijo del Diablo, Gringo Loco b Black Terry, Chico Che, Dr. Cerebro
5) Máscara Año 2000 Jr., Scorpio Jr., Veneno b Angelico, el Ángel, Tinieblas Jr.
This was the show with Dhani Jones getting into it with MA2K Jr. Semimain was a brawl with the two teams tearing up the building. Ultraman Jr. was hurt on a dive in a tercera.
AAA (SUN) 03/07 Arena Coliseo Monterrey [Estrellas del Ring]

4) Aerostar, El Elegido, Laredo Kid b Cuervo, Escoria, Ozz
5) Dr. Wagner Jr., Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr., Silver King DQ Black Warrior, El Mesías, La Parka Jr.
Wagner got in a foul on Mesias without the ref seeing, but Parka got caught fouling Silver King for the DQ. Poder del Norte won the tag team titles in the segunda; I really need to make a title history for that on the wiki. Tercera was aid to be very good.
CMLL (MON) 03/08 Arena Puebla [R de Rudo]
1) Fuerza Chicana & Siki Ozama Jr. b Black Tiger & Tigre Rojo
2) Arkangel de la Muerte, Loco Max, Skándalo b Ángel Azteca Jr., Astro Boy, Trueno
3) Asturiano, Bam Bam, Mr. Rafaga DQ Pequeño Universo 2000, Pequeño Violencia, Pierrothito
4) Blue Panther, Máscara Dorada, Shocker b Ray Mendoza Jr., Shigeo Okumura, Taichi
5) Atlantis, Místico, Rey Bucanero DQ Máximo, Mr. Niebla, Volador Jr.
Mistico fouled Volador for the DQ in the main, as you'd expect. Looks like a strong turnout. No word on the DQ in the tercera, but presumably Violencia fouled Bam Bam since the two were challenging each other after the match. The twist is it wasn't a title challenge, but one for the hairs.
Today's CMLL show features the Maximo & Mr. Niebla on the rudo side. Why is Niebla wearing a Canada jersey in that picture?
The La Quebrada column says the CMLL minis are unhappy about not being on Dos Leyendas. Which is now kind of obvious now that I write it out.
SuperLuchas notes the prices for Dos Leyendas tickets: from $90 ringside to as little as $8 for GA. I'm thinking they won't be doing the 5 on 1 ticket deal here.
The world going on Mascarita Dorada's new name is he'll be Mascarita Plateda, a mini Santo without actually using that name.
AAA notes the Psycho Circus will be lumberjacks for the Cibernetico/Konnan match. The interview with Psycho Clown makes it sound like the Legion will not be at ringside, which is a bit hard to believe. Normally, it'd be half Cibernetico guys and half Konnan guys, and that ensuing fight would be a fine destruction. They also continue posting Rob's Rey de Reyes videos.
La Mascara tells Fuego that he's excited to team with his father. As noted elsewhere – CMLL originally annoucned this week's main event would be a repeat of the last two, but they've since subbed out Mascara Dorada and put this La Mascara in his place. Not that it really makes a difference.
Ultimo Guerrero wants a shot at the CMLL World Trios championships, noting titles are there to be defended, and he's defended his a bunch lately.
Shockercito @ Box Y Lucha has an interview with Super Mega.
Perros del Mal has a 6 minute video hyping up their promotion.
LuchaWorld has KrisZ's news update.
LMLL (TUE) 03/09 Arena Coliseo Monterrey
1) Zodiaco vs Neurosis
2) Gemelo Muerte I & Gemelo Muerte II vs Dranser & Scravos
3) Furor, Galactar, Koko Viper vs Erick el Rojo, Gato Fantasma, Hijo del Ninja
4) Golden Boy, Lover Boy, Rey Demonio, Simbolo vs Androide, Corazon Adicto, Raiden, Rey Sagitario
5) Hijo de Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan, Pirata Morgan Jr. vs Estrella Dorado Jr., Hator, Monje Negro Jr.
Changed card. That's a lot of rudo.

Q: Property setter gives an error in Python I am new to Python. I am try to learn the @property decorator in Python. Here is my code:
#!/usr/bin/python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

class C(object):
    """docstring for C"""
    def __init__(self, foo):
        self._foo = foo

    @property
    def foo(self):
        return self._foo
    @foo.setter
    def foo(self, value):
        self._foo = value

        return self.foo

c = C(1)

print c.foo

print c.foo(2)

In the above code first print gave me "1". When I try to set the value to foo, it gives the below error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "sub.py", line 23, in <module>
    print c.foo(2)
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable

How to solve this error. What's wrong my code?

A: A setter is used with the assignment operator =:
c.foo = 2

A further example how c.foo(2) works:
In [7]: c = C(lambda x: x*x)

In [8]: c.foo(2)
Out[8]: 4

c.foo(…) first gets the value in c.foo, then invokes the function.

A: Did you mean to do
c.foo = 2

You use properties like you would attributes.

SCARBOROUGH, Maine — The state with the largest moose population in the 48 contiguous United States is set to issue more hunting permits for the giant animals this year.
A spokesman for the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife says an advisory council has signed off on a permit increase of more than 10 percent. That will raise the total permits to 2,820.
The increase in permits will be centered in northern Maine, where the moose population is at its healthiest. The animals face threats such as parasites, but state biologists say the herd's doing well in the far north.
Hunters who want to bag moose will still face long odds. The state allocates the permits via a lottery system that attracts tens of thousands of applications. It's scheduled for June 8 in Scarborough.

This is a reminder that CentOS v4.x is EOL (End Of Life) as of 29th February 2012. This means that there will be no more OS updates, including security updates. We encourage all RedyHost customers running CeontOS v.4.x to migrate all accounts from such a server to one running at least CentOS v5, preferably CentOS v6, immediately: http://www.centos.org/modules/smartfaq/faq.php?faqid=42 If running cPanel, they will also stop supporting this platform as of August 31, 2012: http://cpanel.net/products/cpanelwhm/system-requirements.html We do not provide any support for servers running on an EOL OS, including all of our scripts and products.

Q: How do I remove the "#!" from Vaadin 8 URL's? We have a Vaadin 8 application that is running with SpringBoot (1.5.9-RELEASE).
I have two views that are "view1" and "view2".
The problem is that Vaadin only recognizes "example.com/#!view1" and "example.com/#!view2".
What I want is "example.com/view1" and "example.com/view2".  Despite using SpringViews, etc. I can't seem to make it work.  All I get are 404's if I remove the "#!" from the path.
Here are some of my configuration settings.  Please let me know if you need more.
Thanks!

    }

View1 and View2
@SpringComponent
@UIScope
@SpringView(name = View1View.NAME, ui = AppUI.class)
public class View1View extends VerticalLayout implements View, Serializable {
    public static final String NAME = "view1";
    ....

@SpringComponent
@UIScope
@SpringView(name = View2View.NAME, ui = AppUI.class)
public class View2View extends VerticalLayout implements View, Serializable {
    public static final String NAME = "view2";
    ....

A: Oh my word.  Been looking all day and I stumbled on my own answer.
Adding @PushStateNavigation to your UI element fixes the issue.
Hope this answer helps someone else.
