@daichenwang
The incorporation of new technologies is also one of the key benefits of smart clothing. Brands are now using materials that are UV-protected to keep the wearer safe from harmful rays of the sun. Additionally, techwear garments are designed with reflective elements for better visibility at night, making it perfect for people who are active at night.
Techwear is not only limited to streetwear, it's also being adopted by other fashion genre such as sportswear, outdoor wear, and even formal wear. Brands are experimenting with new materials and technologies to create garments that are both stylish and functional. It's a perfect example of how fashion and function can coexist, and how technology can be used to enhance the way we dress.
How Techwear is Changing Streetwear
@skr_alan
Streetwear and techwear are two distinct styles of fashion that have been gaining popularity in recent years. Streetwear is characterized by its casual, street-inspired aesthetic, while techwear is defined by its use of technical fabrics and functional designs. Many Streetwear brands are now incorporating techwear elements into their designs, creating a new type of fashion that is both stylish and functional. This can include the use of waterproof and breathable fabrics, multiple pockets and compartments, and other functional details.
Additionally, some streetwear brands are also incorporating futuristic and high-tech elements into their designs, such as LED lighting and other interactive features. This is a trend that has been on the rise for a few years now, and it's showing no signs of slowing down.
One example of streetwear brand that has successfully incorporated techwear elements into their designs is Acronym. They have been known for creating clothing that is both stylish and functional, using advanced fabrics, and innovative designs.
Another example is Stone Island, that have been experimenting with new materials and technologies to create garments that are both stylish and functional.
The Future of Streetwear
@obsidian893
Techwear is expected to continue to influence streetwear in the future. As technology advances, streetwear will continue to evolve and incorporate new technologies. This means that we can expect to see more clothing that is both stylish and functional, making it perfect for people who want to look good while also being prepared for any situation.
The popularity of streetwear and techwear is also expected to continue to grow. As more people become aware of the benefits of technical clothes, they will start to explore apparel that blends stylishness and practicality. This trend is here to stay, and it's only going to get bigger and better.

Annual 9/11 Heroes Run at Ellington Airport Now Open for Registration
Proceeds from the race support Houston-area veterans, their families and first responders
Ellington Airport will once again host the Annual 9/11 Heroes Run to honor the heroes of the September 11 attacks. Registration is now open for the 5k race that will take place on Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016. The opening ceremony kicks-off at 7:30 a.m. and the race begins shortly after.
"Now in its sixth year in Houston, the 9/11 Heroes Run has become a long-standing tradition for Houstonians to honor our fallen heroes, and we are looking forward to holding it at Ellington Airport again this year," said race director and Houston Police Department Captain Gregory Fremin. "All are welcome to participate in the run, no matter your level of running ability, and we encourage you to grab a friend or your running club and register today. Proceeds from registration fees go directly to the Travis Manion Foundation and two great local charities."
Before leaving for his final deployment, 1st Lt. Travis Manion visited Rescue Team 1 in New York City following the September 11 attacks and returned home passionate about why he was fighting in Iraq. On April 29, 2007, Manion was killed by an enemy sniper in Fallujah, Iraq, while trying to rescue several wounded Marines. Inspired by Manion's visit with New York City firefighters, the 9/11 Heroes Run started as a small town event in suburban Philadelphia to honor all U.S. military members. The race has now grown to more than 55 cities in the U.S. and various military installations around the world including Iraq, Afghanistan, Guam, Italy, England and a ship in the Persian Gulf.
Participation in the Houston event has been the highest of all race cities for the past four years, making it the largest Heroes Run event in the world
A substantial portion of the proceeds raised from the event go to support for Houston-area veterans, their families and first responders. The 2016 Houston race will donate locally to Assist the Officer and the Houston Professional Firefighters Local 341 Union.
Remaining proceeds will support Travis Manion Foundation Challenge Grants, which provide veterans and families of fallen service members with support through service-based team building events that foster camaraderie and facilitate successful life transitions, and the Character Does Matter program.
The planning committee is still in need of volunteers to help with activities on the day of the event and leading up to the run. Interested parties should contact Kelley Huff with the Houston Police Department at Kelley.Huff@HoustonPolice.org to inquire about volunteer opportunities.

This Is How ABS, ESC, And Traction Control Work
Filed to:How Cars Work
New cars are confusing. With all the computers, sensors, and gadgets, it may seem like there's some sort of magical witchcraft taking place under the hood. We're here to show you how modern automotive computer control systems work. Last week, we looked at EFI. Today's topics: ABS, TC, and ESC.
How Electronic Fuel Injection Works
New cars are confusing. With all the computers, sensors, and gadgets, it may seem like there's some
Back in the day, if you wanted to stop your 4000 pound land yacht in the snow, you needed to be pretty clever with the big pedal. Threshold braking and cadence braking were the name of the game. Back then, if you wanted your 440-powered hotrod to get out of the hole quickly, you had to be clever with the skinny pedal. Romping the accelerator would only bog you down if you didn't have a posi rear end. Lastly, if you wanted to safely pass the moose test back in the day, you had to be pretty clever with the steering wheel. Steer into the drift, let off the throttle, maybe even apply some throttle- it wasn't easy.
Nowadays, we've got anti-lock braking to help you stop, traction control to help you go, and stability control to help you maintain control in turns. These systems have revolutionized the auto industry, making vehicles safer and, in some cases, more capable on the track. Let's see how they work.
Antilock Braking Systems
The basic idea behind Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) comes down to the difference between kinetic friction and static friction. Imagine you're trying to push a heavy box across a floor. You push it as hard as you can, and finally it budges. You notice that keeping the box moving requires much less force than it initially took to get the box to budge. This is the difference between static friction (friction between two objects that aren't moving relative to one another) and kinetic friction (sliding friction). The basic formula for friction force is:
where N is the normal force (basically any forces pushing an object toward the ground- weight, downforce, etc.) and mu is the friction coefficient. Static friction coefficients are larger than coefficients of kinetic friction. When you hit the brakes on your car, you therefore want your vehicles to roll to a stop so as to ensure that the wheels are slowing down due mostly to static friction (also called rolling friction), not purely kinetic friction (sliding friction). This often maximizes the friction force and can decrease stopping distances, especially on paved surfaces.
A standard Anti-lock Braking System uses four wheel speed sensors, a hydraulic pump, four hydraulic valves (assuming it is a 4 channel setup), and a controller. The controller in the ABS system monitors the speed of each wheel using the wheel speed sensors, which are usually hall effect sensors. If the controller sees that one wheel is decelerating at a rate that couldn't possibly correspond to the vehicle's rate of deceleration, it actuates the hydraulic valve in that wheel's brake line to reduce the brake pressure applied to that wheel. This allows the wheel to turn faster. Once the wheel is back up to speed, it uses the pump to introduce the pressure back into that brake line, applying that brake again. When the controller sees rapid deceleration again, it activates the valve and the cycle repeats about 15 times per second. Check out the video below:

A spinoff of ABS (pun fully intended), electronic stability control (ESC) is a computerized control system that applies brakes to individual wheels and reduces engine power to ensure that drivers maintain control of their vehicles. Introduced in the mid 1990's by Mercedes, this now-mandatory system (in the US as of 2012) has been shown to drastically reduce the risk of automobile accidents. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety claims that one third of all fatal accidents could have been prevented had this technology existed sooner. The six main components of an ESC system are: wheel speed sensors, a control module, a steering angle sensor, a yaw rate sensor, an accelerometer, and the hydraulic modulator. Note that the hydraulic modulator is the same one used in an ABS system, meaning that ESC adds only the yaw sensor, an accelerometer, and steering angle sensor to a standard ABS system.
To understand how this system works, imagine you are driving down the highway at 60 miles per hour. You swerve left to avoid hitting a raccoon. What happens in the short duration to follow? The yaw rate sensor determines where your car is pointing, the steering angle sensor determines where your front wheels are pointing, the accelerometer determines if your vehicle is sliding, and the wheel speed sensors monitor each wheel's speed. If you turn your wheel very abruptly to the left, your vehicle will initially under steer. This is simply Newton's First Law. Since the front tires do not yet have enough traction, they slide and the car continues to move forward. The control module recognizes the discrepancy between the intended path (communicated by the steering angle sensor) and the actual path (communicated via the yaw rate sensor) and sends a signal to the hydraulic unit, directing it to increase braking power to the left rear wheel. This causes the automobile to rotate left (the desired response). If necessary, the control module will also reduce engine power by sending a signal to the throttle actuator asking it to close the butterfly valve.
Note that if the car were in an over steer situation (one in which the tail of the car wanted to rotate), the control module would apply braking to the front outside wheel to keep the vehicle under control. For a great demonstration of the effects of this technology, see the video below.

Traction control works in a similar way as ESC. If a vehicle is unable to gain traction in icy conditions, one wheel will spin while the other simply remains stationary. This is the nature of an open differential: the wheel with the least traction receives the most power. This is undesirable in low-traction situations. As such, traction control can step in. Traction control monitors wheel speed using ABS wheel speed sensors. If a wheel is slipping, traction control reduces engine power to help the wheel regain traction. If necessary, traction control can also apply the brakes to the slipping wheel. This will transfer power to the other wheel (which now has more "traction") depending on surface conditions. To see how traction control works, check out the video below:

I'm so surprised she got bubblegum pink versus the black ones.
Brandi Munguia Knowing Saf, I'm sure she bought the pink ones because she wanted to challenge herself. It would've been easy to get black ones because she wouldn't have to work hard to put outfits together since the majority of her wardrobe is black. The pinks one put her out of her comfort zone, and it makes the video even more interesting than it already is.

Q: Query doesn't return empty Brand fields I am having trouble pulling data from a table in a query and returnig all results if i have a blank field in 'Brand'.
I have two queries, this is the first, it pulls essentially the same data but only returns the ID numbers of Brand and Leader not the resolved names from the related tables.
SELECT Review.ID, Review.Claim, [TSO Leader].LeaderID, Review.Consultant, Review.TSO, Review.[Claim Review Date], Review.Brand, Review.[Discussion Point], Review.[Review Notes], Review.[Review Decision], Review.Categories, Review.[Product Type]
FROM [TSO Leader] INNER JOIN Review ON [TSO Leader].LeaderID = Review.[TSO Leader]
ORDER BY [TSO Leader].LeaderID;

This query pulls resolved 'TSO Leader' and 'Brand' but if the brand is empty then it wont return the result. How can I edit it to show Brand fields even if they are null.
This is the second query that doesn't pull null fields from Brand.
SELECT Review.ID, Review.Claim, Review.Consultant, Review.TSO, Review.[Claim Review Date], Review.[Discussion Point], Review.[Review Notes], Review.[Review Decision], Brand.Brand, Categories.Reason, [TSO Leader].LeaderName
FROM [TSO Leader] INNER JOIN (Categories INNER JOIN (Brand INNER JOIN Review ON Brand.BrandID=Review.Brand) ON Categories.CategoriesID=Review.Categories) ON [TSO Leader].LeaderID=Review.[TSO Leader];

EDIT: From Mitch's comment below attempted to expand result set via outer join but I receive a syntax error. This is the updated from.
FROM [TSO Leader] INNER JOIN (Categories INNER JOIN (Brand FULL OUTER JOIN Review ON Brand.BrandID=Review.Brand) ON Categories.CategoriesID=Review.Categories) ON [TSO Leader].LeaderID=Review.[TSO Leader];

A: I was able to retrieve the records with a right join. Access kept complaining that putting an outer join where I have the right one was a syntax error. It appears access should use Outer joins as I read from the docs here http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/creating-an-outer-join-query-in-access-HA001034555.aspx
SELECT Review.ID, Review.Claim, Review.Consultant, Review.TSO, Review.[Claim Review Date], Review.[Discussion Point], Review.[Review Notes], Review.[Review Decision], Brand.Brand, Categories.Reason, [TSO Leader].LeaderName

Counting Victims
One of the mysterious red signs spotted on Brazil Street in the Excelsior. (Photo by Joe Kukura)
A red sign at Mission and Geneva streets says 37. Six blocks away at Persia Street, the sign says 15. Another one at Silver Street says 21. These signs were recently bolted to posts on the southernmost blocks of Mission Street. But what do the numbers stand for?
The explanation is there — you just really have to look for it. The numbers aren't explained on the signs, but on posters hanging in nearby strorefronts.
"From July 2011 to June 2016, 21 crashes were reported on Mission Street at Silver," reads a poster at the Silver Cafe, right outside the 21 sign. "Three pedestrians were injured."
The red signs are part of a program called the Excelsior Safe Speeds Project.
"The program provides bright signage at one pole per intersection to indicate the number of traffic collisions at that location over the last five years," SFMTA spokesperson Paul Rose tells SF Weekly. "The signs will be up for about a month."
Each poster features a traffic fatality infographic and lists the website for Vision Zero SF, an initiative seeking to "eliminate all traffic deaths in San Francisco by 2024." But the signs were spearheaded by neighborhood nonprofit Excelsior Action Group (EAG), with a grant from the Department of Public Health. High school students with the Youth Art Exchange designed the signs and posters.
The program is based on a similar effort in Los Angeles called "X-ing on Adams," that put red signs indicating the number of traffic collisions on West Adams Boulevard intersections. Those cross-streets were also marked with a red X, as they are here in San Francisco.
But the red signs at the 10 Outer Mission intersections have created confusion along the corridor. We asked 14-Mission bus drivers, none of whom knew what they meant, Nor did many journalism colleagues or the Department of Public Health, and Rose needed four days to figure it out. It's not immediately clear to many people that the signs are a traffic safety measure, or that they correspond with a nearby poster.
It's clearer at some intersections than others. In most cases, the red X connects to the poster with a red line painted on the sidewalk. But even then, the red line is often indistinguishable from standard spray-painted DPW sidewalk markings.
And some of the corners with signs don't have the poster explaining them. At the corner of Mission and Geneva streets — the intersection with 37 collisions — the explanatory poster is located across the street, nearly 50 feet away from the sign. You'd have to cross Mission Street to read the poster, and that increases your chances of … you know.
Still, if you want to spearhead some similar traffic crash awareness efforts near where you live, the SFMTA may be all ears.
"We are generally supportive of local groups that want to draw attention to the traffic safety issues in their neighborhood," Rose tells SF Weekly. "EAG reached out to us to make sure they could do it in a way that would not create an unsafe condition."
You can't fault concerned residents for wanting to reduce traffic collisions in their neighborhood. These efforts might even cause motorists to drive more carefully — that is, if they have any idea what the signs are supposed to mean.

Taking Advantage of Social Media to Boost Your Online Lottery Business
When social networking platforms such as Facebook and Twitter first emerged on the scene, everybody believed that their task was supposed to connect like-minded men and women.
Rather, these programs evolved into a great huge market. Brands recognized the possibility of social networking and it turned into an easy, cost-effective tool to accomplish the ideal clients.
Digital marketers advocate a few principles that handle the interpersonal networking existence of an enterprise. These are:
Always have a seasoned marketing communications specialist at the helm
Think about before you place
Pace your articles avoid too small or too many articles
Prevent promoting your Company
Respond immediately to the viewers asks
Every one of these things is as legitimate for boosting an online lottery company on interpersonal websites as any other. And societal website marketing isn't a challenging job; it all requires is some quantity of imagination and attention to detail. Let us look at a couple of the large online lottery operators from the USA, California Lottery, and also Texas Lottery to observe the way that social media could be leveraged to get lottery company plans.
California Lottery vs. Texas Lottery
CA Lottery combined Twitter in March 2009, although Texas Lottery combined three decades later in March 2012. In this age of time, CA Lottery paid a great deal of focus on submitting engaging articles in their Twitter feed. Because of this, while the CA Lottery has over 25,000 followers on Twitter, Texas has only a bit more than 13,000.
CA Lottery has sensibly utilized hashtags, videos, and images as time passes, to improve the customer experience on Twitter. Their deadline frequently includes lottery winners, jackpot prizes, and even promotions. On the other hand, the speed of promotional articles can be kept to a minimum to guarantee priority for natural content. Aside from that, they assert their integrity and responsibility by making sure that only those over 18 decades old can take part in online lottery games.
Even though Texas Lottery checks being accountable, their Twitter approach is lagging in article variety and involvement indicator by a huge margin.
With over 410,000 users, now CA Lottery is miles before Texas Lottery (using a bit over 1100 consumers) on Facebook. CA Lottery has preserved a very clear vision for their FB newsfeed. Their articles frequently speak about lottery winners, forthcoming promotions, and jackpot prizes, etc. Funny videos really are a normal feature on the webpage, together with an occasional article about current affairs as well as the charitable and social accountability facet of the lottery industry. All this content is introduced in a means which isn't intrusive for your users and is intended to lure them to convey with the webpage.
In comparison to Texas, CA Lottery's obvious focus on keeping the standard of the material and engaging their customers has resulted in very significant evaluations from their customers (4.4 from 5).
ALSO READ: Online Gaming Industry Trends to Check Out
Very few would think about LinkedIn as a perfect platform for internet lottery promotions. But, CA Lottery illustrates what could be accomplished with just a tiny innovation.
CA Lottery's LinkedIn webpage is extremely well maintained with regular upgrades in their social networking stations. The majority of their articles are centered on the severe side of cases of conducting a successful lottery company and satisfying the corporate duties towards society. It has aided the CA Lottery to construct an extremely powerful presence as a wonderful location to work among project aspirants.
On the flip side, Texas Lottery's LinkedIn page appears to be bereft of any information regarding the business, which also defeats the purpose of using a LinkedIn page at the first location.
Videos would be the largest source in the social networking world. Consumers favor videos at any time of the afternoon today. Even though the CA Lottery has paid a great deal of focus on their own YouTube articles, Texas neglects to replicate exactly the identical model.
CA Lottery's YouTube station has arranged videos from a variety of playlists, enabling users to seek out relevant articles on each visit. The content combination revolves around lottery awards, winners and promotions, jackpots as well as entertaining videos. A massive portion of CA Lottery's proceeds go in the California Education System, also CA Lottery showcases in their movies fairly well. Together with that, CA Lottery includes a fantastic number of user-generated articles in their YouTube station too.
Instagram is the station of the kids. Regardless of the constraints on under-18 gamers, the two CA Lottery along with also Texas Lottery are rather near competitions on Instagram. Their article's plan yet is poles apart.
CA Lottery's fix in making sure that the very best content is submitted in their social networking channels is revealed quite clearly in their own Instagram feed also. Pictures and movies that speak about diverse topics — by the winning lottery, to casual inspirational articles — also make it an enjoyable station to follow. And all that while, CA Lottery keeps registering a solid presence in their customers' heads.
Social networking has shown its value to the online lottery market. But what is online marketing? (lô đề online là gì in Vietnamese). It's supposed to become an informal, enjoyable, engaging, and inviting side of any advertising strategy. Applying it to make awareness and obtaining a solid place in the customer's remember is the very ideal approach to uncover its potential. Blindly attempting to emulate the contest might land you in serious trouble, as appears to be the situation using Texas Lottery. However, when done correctly, such as CA Lottery, you go one step nearer to becoming part of your clients' lives along with your complete social networking community.

Reconstructing Craft
James Todd
University of Sheffield UK
Reconstructing craft is an exploration of the different historical and cultural meanings of craft and its changing role within the building industry. In particular it examines the separation and eventual polarisation of creative and manual work within the process of making buildings and the centralisation of knowledge, power and creative expression which this entailed.
The Status of Craft
My interest in the status of contemporary craft stems from my experience of working alonside a team of highly motivated and skilled craftsmen on building restoration projects where I began to appreciate the depth of understanding that could be gained through their direct hands-on approach to work. Watching these people struggling to keep their skills alive in the modern building industry provoked me to ask wider questions about the contemporary relevance of the craft tradition to architecture and building at the end of the twentieth century.
For much of the twentieth century - and in Britian in particular - the broad spectrum of activities referred to by the word "craft" have often been perceived solely as naive and luddite reaction to developments in new manufacturing technology. As a result craft has acquired a low cultural status, and is generally held to be inferior in comparison to both art and design. Within my dissertation I have explored how recent commentaries on craft are relevant when applied to the the production of buildings, first through an examination of the contemporary confusion generated by the many historical meanings of craft, then by tracing the changing role and status of craft within the building industry and finally what contribution craft could make to the future of architecture and building...
James Todd's dissertation , Reconstructing Craft was selected as our dissertation entry because of its relevance, the discussion and the eloquence with which it is written.
It tells the story of the separation and eventual polarisation of creative and manual work and the centralisation of knowledge, power and creative expression which this has entailed. Its strength lies in the analysis of the different historical and cultural meanings of craft and the way James then relates this to the building industry.
The work on the dissertation then informed the final year project James did which was very successful.

Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) will be reporting earnings tonight after the market close. Many analysts expect the company to report disappointing earnings. Citigroup Inc. (NYSE:C) downgraded Cisco several days ago, and MKM Partners reduced estimates. Given the plethora of tech companies that discussed slowing demand trends during the later part of September, many believe that Cisco's forward commentary will turn more cautious.
Structural changes to the networking industry. Investors are concerned that networking will be commoditized and the value of switches and routers shift to software elements. How can Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) convince investors that its lucrative businesses do not become dis-intermediated Is the argument the timing (2 years? 7?) or the actual event for Cisco?
• GMs & software strategy. Gross margins have slid over the past few years to the current 61.9%, with product GMs at a low of 60.4%. How can Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) reverse this trend? Can Cisco establish a substantive software strategy to stem margin decline and how long will it take?
Getting better or getting worse? Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) exited July with the highest backlog in history at $5B. Can Cisco return to +7-12% top-line growth any time soon or is +5% (or lower) the new normal? If Cisco adopts a more aggressive software strategy, does top-line growth go lower before margins go higher?
Enterprise and service provider spending. Enterprise spending was on an up-trend exiting last quarter. Has that momentum carried into this quarter? Did strong Federal offset weakness in other verticals? Service provider spending is challenged, especially in Europe. How can Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) grow and take share in this type of environment?
Partnership dynamics with Citrix Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CTXS)and VMware/EMC. Are there plans to increase the involvement of the Citrix partnership? Can Cisco/Citrix compete with VMware, Inc. (NYSE:VMW) in the virtualized server environment and how does OpenStack play into that? Since the Nicira acquisition, how has the VMware/EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC)partnership performed?
Dividend yield. Is Cisco's plan to increase the dividend methodically to reach 5.0% yield in the mid-term? Can Cisco generate enough domestic cash to meet those dividend increases and also maintain share repurchases? What if we get changes to the dividend tax?
Bring the cash back? Considering that Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) has 87% of total cash held overseas, what are future plans for repatriation even without a tax holiday? Is the ROI of bringing back the cash while taking the tax hit to invest domestically greater than potential overseas acquisition opportunities?


I picked this up a year or so ago on a trip to New York because my friend Lex asked me to bring her one back and I didn't want to live with regrets. As it turned out I really didn't get along with the formula and Anastasia came to the UK within a month of my return so there was really no need to panic buy.
The colour is perfect, I love it but the texture is just too dry. Very thin and quick to set but not comfortable or particularly long lasting. At £20 it's not the highest priced liquid lip I've tried and the finish (and did I mention the colour?) is lush so I would still wear it but I'd have to be prepared for many touch ups and a heavy lip balm the next day.

History of Cameroon

This article documents the history of Cameroon.
The earliest inhabitants of Cameroon were probably the Baka (Pygmies). They still inhabit the forests of the south and east provinces. Bantu speakers originating in the Cameroonian highlands were among the first groups to move out before other invaders. The Mandara kingdom in the Mandara Mountains was founded around 1500 and erected magnificent fortified structures, the purpose and exact history of which are still unresolved. The Aro Confederacy of Nigeria may have had presence in western (later called British) Cameroon due to migration in the 18th and 19th centuries.
During the late 1770s and the early 19th century, the Fulani, a pastoral Islamic people of the western Sahel, conquered most of what is now northern Cameroon, subjugating or displacing its largely non-Muslim inhabitants.
Although the Portuguese arrived on Cameroon's doorstep in the 16th century, malaria prevented significant European settlement and conquest of the interior until the late 1870s, when large supplies of the malaria suppressant, quinine, became available. The early European presence in Cameroon was primarily devoted to coastal trade and the acquisition of slaves. The northern part of Cameroon was an important part of the Muslim slave trade network. The slave trade was largely suppressed by the mid-19th century. Christian missions established a presence in the late 19th century and continue to play a role in Cameroonian life.

Beginning on July 5, 1884, all of present-day Cameroon and parts of several of its neighbours became a German colony, Kamerun, with a capital first at Buea and later at Yaound�.
The Imperial German government made substantial investments in the infrastructure of Cameroon, including the extensive railways, such as the 160-metre single-span railway bridge on the Sanaga South branch. Hospitals were opened all over the colony, including two major hospitals at Douala, one of which specialised in tropical diseases (the Germans had discovered the 1912, wrote in an official report in 1919 that the population of Kamerun had increased significantly. However, the indigenous peoples proved reluctant to work on these projects, so the Germans instigated a harsh and unpopular system of forced labour. In fact, Jesko von Puttkamer was relieved of duty as governor of the colony due to his untoward actions toward the native Cameroonians. In 1911 at the Treaty of Fez after the Agadir Crisis, France ceded a nearly 300,000 km� portion of the territory of French Equatorial Africa to Kamerun which became Neukamerun, while Germany ceded a smaller area in the north in present day Chad to France.
In World War I the British invaded Cameroon from Nigeria in 1914 in the West Africa campaign, with the last German fort in the country surrendering in February 1916. After the war this colony was partitioned between the United Kingdom and France under a June 28, 1919 League of Nations mandates (Class B). France gained the larger geographical share, transferred Neukamerun back to neighboring French colonies, and ruled the rest from Yaound� as Cameroun (French Cameroons). Britain's territory, a strip bordering Nigeria from the sea to Lake Chad, with an equal population was ruled from Lagos as Cameroons (British Cameroons). German administrators were allowed to once again run the plantations of the southwestern coastal area. A British Parliamentary Publication, Report on the British Sphere of the Cameroons (May 1922, p. 62-8), reports that the German plantations there were "as a whole . . . wonderful examples of industry, based on solid scientific knowledge. The natives have been taught discipline and have come to realise what can be achieved by industry. Large numbers who return to their villages take up cocoa or other cultivation on their own account, thus increasing the general prosperity of the country."
In 1955, the outlawed Union of the Peoples of Cameroon (UPC), based largely among the Bamileke and Bassa ethnic groups, began an armed struggle for independence in French Cameroon. This rebellion continued, with diminishing intensity, even after independence. Estimates of death from this conflict vary from thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Cameroon after independence
French Cameroons achieved independence on January 1, 1960 as the Republic of Cameroon. After Guinea, it was the second of France's colonies in Sub-Saharan Africa to be granted independence. The following year, on October 1, 1961, the largely Muslim northern two-thirds of British Cameroons voted to join Nigeria; the largely Christian southern third, Southern Cameroons, voted to join with the Republic of Cameroon to form the Federal Republic of Cameroon. The formerly French and British regions each maintained substantial autonomy. Ahmadou Ahidjo, a French-educated Fulani, was chosen president of the federation in 1961. Ahidjo, relying on a pervasive internal security apparatus, outlawed all political parties but his own in 1966. He successfully suppressed the continuing UPC rebellion, capturing the last important rebel leader in 1970. In 1972, a new constitution replaced the federation with a unitary state called the United Republic of Cameroon.
Although Ahidjo's rule was characterised as authoritarian, he was seen as noticeably lacking in charisma in comparison to many post-colonial African leaders. He didn't follow the anti-western policies pursued by many of these leaders, which helped Cameroon achieve a degree of comparative political stability and economic growth.
Ahidjo resigned as president in 1982 and was constitutionally succeeded by his Prime Minister, Paul Biya, a career official from the Beti-Pahuin ethnic group. Ahidjo later regretted his choice of successors, but his supporters failed to overthrow Biya in a 1984 coup. Biya won single-candidate elections in 1983 and 1984 when the country was again named the Republic of Cameroon. Biya has remained in power, winning flawed multiparty elections in 1992, 1997, and 2004. His Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM) party holds a sizeable majority in the legislature.
On August 15, 1984, Lake Monoun exploded in a limnic eruption that released carbon dioxide, suffocating 37 people to death. On August 21, 1986, another limnic eruption at Lake Nyos killed as many as 1,800 people and 3,500 livestock. The two disasters are the only recorded instances of limnic eruptions.
Corruption in Cameroon
Despite democratic reform begun in 1990 with the legalization of political parties other than the CPDM, political power remains firmly in the hands of President Biya and a small circle of CPDM members from his own ethnic group. Biya was reelected on October 11, 1992 amid accusations of voting irregularities. Biya reportedly got 39 percent of the vote to 35 percent for John Fru Ndi. (Ndi briefly proclaimed himself president before the government released the polling figures.) In contrast, the March 1, 1992 legislative election was considered free and fair by international observers, although many parties boycotted the elections and the CPDM won several constituencies by default. But even though opposition parties were well-represented in the legislature (92 of 180 seats), there were, according to the 1992 constitution, few legislative or judicial checks on the president.
Following the elections, civil unrest erupted as the population expressed the widespread belief that Ndi had won the presidential elections. By late 1992, Ndi and his supporters were under house arrest and the international community had made clear its displeasure at the antidemocratic and increasingly violent turn the Biya regime was taking.
Biya agreed in May 1993 to hold a so-called Great National Constitutional Debate and in June he began preparing a draft of a new constitution to be adopted either by referendum or by the National Assembly. In 1994, 16 opposition parties formed a loose alliance, dominated by Ndi's Social Democrats, to work for constitutional and electoral reform. In October 1995, the CPDM reelected Biya as its leader. In December of that year the National Assembly adopted a number of amendments to address the power of the president. These reforms included a strengthening of the judiciary, the creation of a partially elected 100-member senate, the creation of regional councils, and the fixing of the presidential term to 7 years, renewable once. Strikes and demonstrations became commonplace as Biya resisted implementation of reforms.
The May 1997 legislative elections were marred by mismanagement, vote-rigging, and fraud, resulting in the Supreme Court's cancellation of results in three constituencies (seven seats). Based on the misconduct of these elections, the opposition boycotted the October 1997 presidential elections, in which Biya claimed victory with 93 percent of the vote. To add further insult, Cameroon topped Transparency International's list of the most corrupt countries in the world in 1998, prompting the creation of an anticorruption body.
On June 30, 2002 the country held legislative and municipal elections that again were denounced by the opposition as fraudulent. The Supreme Court cancelled the results of nine constituencies, ordering new elections in these constituencies on September 15. In the end, the Cameroon People's Democratic Movement (CPDM)/Rassemblement D�mocratique du Peuple Camerounais (RDPC) won 149 of 180 seats.
The victory for the ruling party was cemented with the reelection of the 72-year old president Paul Biya in October 2004, thus enhancing the chances of continued domination by the ruling party until the end of his term in 2011. By 2006, appeals were being heard in Biya's home province in favour of a constitutional amendment that would allow him to run for another term when his current term expires. However, against the backdrop of worsening social conditions and high poverty, students protested and conducted strikes for several weeks in April 2005, and clashes with police led to two student deaths. Opposition parties registered their intention to block any attempt to amend the constitution that would allow Biya to run for a third term.
In early 2006 a final resolution to the dispute between Cameroon and Nigeria over the oil-rich Bakassi peninsula was expected. In October 2002, the International Court of Justice had ruled in favour of Cameroon. Nonetheless, a lasting solution would require agreement by both countries' presidents, parliaments, and by the United Nations. The peninsula was the site of fighting between the two countries in 1994 and again in June 2005, which led to the death of a Cameroonian soldier.
Cameroon has received some international attention following the relative success of its football team. It has qualified for the FIFA World Cup on a number of occasions. Its most notable performance was at Italia 90, when the team beat Argentina, the then reigning Champions in the opening game; Cameroon eventually lost in extra time in the Quarter Finals to England.

Forum promotes collaboration, innovation and change
Eleventh annual Best Practices Forum brims with impactful ideas
May 24, 2018 | By Jon Yates
EVANSTON - Highlighting partnerships, innovations and strategies that can be applied across our campuses, more than 240 faculty and staff gathered last week at Northwestern University's 11th annual Best Practices Forum to share ideas – and learn from colleagues.
The forum, presented by the Office of Change Management, provided a chance to discuss successes, find creative solutions and affect change across the University.
Provost Jonathan Holloway, the forum sponsor, delivered the day's opening remarks. He stressed the need to put students at the center of all endeavors, creating a rigorous classroom environment that embraces an increasingly diverse student body.
"We must have both rigor and empathy," Holloway said. "People come here from different places and take different paths. We have to understand on a deep level the worlds that make these communities. Sometimes it's counterintuitive. That's what universities do. That is good ethical work."
The good work was on display throughout the day, through a dozen sessions that focused on enhancing diversity and inclusion, collaboration and innovation, service delivery and data-driven improvements.
At her lunchtime keynote, Celeste Watkins-Hayes, associate vice president for research, spoke about "The Safety Net that AIDS Activism Built: Lessons for Tackling Big Problems through Transformative Leadership."
Watkins-Hayes, a professor of sociology and African American studies as well as a faculty fellow at Northwestern's Institute for Policy Research, talked about how activists were able to build a safety net for female AIDS patients by changing the narrative about AIDS at the time, which was predominantly viewed as a disease affecting gay males.
"Sometimes, changing the narrative is necessary to address the problem," she said.
The same holds true in a University setting, Watkins-Hayes said. To tackle big issues, decision makers must engage diverse populations, listen to other ideas and embrace constructive conflict, she said.
"We often are so afraid of conflict. When people of diverse backgrounds come together, they don't always agree," she said. But that is when true progress often occurs.
"There has to be a willingness to talk about how we're going to talk about things differently."
Highlights from other sessions included:
Lisa Corrin, Ellen Phillips Katz Director of the Block Museum of Art, and Essie Rӧnkkӧ, the museum's cultural research associate for special projects, described how they joined with faculty members across Northwestern for the recent exhibition project "Paint the Eyes Softer: Mummy Portraits from Roman Egypt." The project, which gained national and international media coverage, included research and faculty expertise from classics, art history, sound arts, materials science, computer science, medicine and archaeology.
Peter Civetta, director of the Office of Undergraduate Research and a lecturer with the Cook Family Writing Program and the Theater Department, spoke about understanding the performance context of the meeting environment and how to use this knowledge to facilitate more interactive and impactful meetings.
In another session, a panel consisting of Kourtney Cockrell, the inaugural director of Student Enrichment Services for the Division of Student Affairs, Amy Metelsky, a business analyst with Student Affairs, and Susan Olson, assistant dean for Student Affairs in the School of Education and Social Policy, talked about removing financial barriers that can impact students' performance.
Dr. Diane Wayne, vice dean for education and the Dr. John Sherman Appleman Professor of Medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine, spoke about improving student wellbeing, including initiatives that have reduced student burnout and distress at Feinberg.
In delivering closing remarks, Marianna Kepka, associate vice president for the Office of Change Management, offered frameworks on change leadership and encouraged attendees to think about opportunities to effect change directly in their own units.
"Our hope is that what you learned today will inspire you to think critically about your own processes, structures, cultures to identify where you can become a change agent and help us together build a culture of change, nimbleness and continuous improvement," Kepka said.
For more information about the forum and individual panels and presentations, visit the Best Practices Forum website.

Are you one of the "Can I sub fries with a side salad with burger" kind of people?
I certainly am. And don't get me wrong, I LOVE fries - especially sweet potatoes fries - but I consider them a "treat" food, so I order them just once in a while.
And I get my fair share of weird looks from waiters when I make such request.
A 6'3" tall guy asking to sub fries with a salad, kind of catches them off-guard, I get it.
But now that I'm thinking about it, this is such a lame excuse.
It basically makes me sound like an old man having heartburn. Next thing I know, they'll be offering me an antacid chewable tab to ease my pain. Ouch!
So why I ask for the sub? Because no matter how tasty fries are, they are laden with calories, fats and sodium. In other words: Running on fries? Not happening.
At least, I certainly can't. I tried once, and I felt like I was running carrying a backpack full of rocks. Not good.
Having settled that "fries + working out not a good combo", we now entering the realm of baked veggies that look like fries and somewhat taste like fries but are light and healthy because they're baked.
Because yes, baking good, frying not so good (note that I didn't use the word bad btw).
Along these lines, last summer we made Oven-Baked Spiced Sweet Potato Fries. Now, those were good. Pretty similar to the real deal.
Today, instead, we're using eggplant to create a distant relative of fries: Baked eggplant fries.
They're really simple to make, as there's hardly any cooking involved.
Cutting, coating and baking. That's about it, a complete no-brainer.
These baked eggplant fries are super crispy and yummy, and when paired with a tasty tomato sauce they're going to make you crave. Promise.
Baked Eggplant Fries with Spicy Tomato Sauce Print this recipe!
Note. You can use almond flour+arrowroot powder or just plain cornmeal for the coating. Both works and are super good. Your choice.
Lay eggplant matchsticks in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and let stand for 25 minutes.
At the 25-minute mark, pat dry the eggplant matchsticks with paper towels.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and place a rack in the middle. Lightly grease with olive oil a baking sheet.
In a medium bowl, combine remaining ½ teaspoon of salt, almond meal+arrowroot powder (or cornmeal), garlic powder, paprika and oregano.
Crack two eggs in a small bowl and lightly beat.
One by one, dip the eggplant matchsticks in the beaten eggs, and transfer to the almond meal mixture (or cornmeal), being sure to coat them thoroughly.
Place eggplant matchsticks on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping them at the 12 minute mark.
To make the tomato sauce, in a large skillet combine the olive oil, red pepper flakes, garlic and sea salt. Stir while you heat the skillet over medium heat, saute for about 2 minutes or so until everything is fragrant. You don't want the garlic to brown though. Stir in the tomatoes and heat to a gentle simmer, this takes just a couple minutes. Lower the heat and taste it. If the sauce needs more salt add it now. Then, stir in the lemon zest. Serve.
One serving (about 8 to 10 fries) yields 115 calories, 8.8 grams of fat, 6.6 grams of carbs and 3.75 grams of protein.
I say you should keep the fries and ditch the bun instead! The waiters would look at you even funnier. ;) Plus, one can't run efficiently on a burger anyway. At least I know I can't. I can't run or work out on any type of food, period. For me, food + exercise = not a good combo.
And thank you for not using the word bad! Not so good, I can live with. But bad? I wouldn't have it.
Well, you need fuel to run/workout, and fries (and in general fried food), so not for me.
Burger way better (bun-on or bun-off), still not ideal. A pre-workout smoothie it's still the best option available, no doubt about that.
And yes, you can definitely fry the eggplant matchsticks. Just keep me in the dark when you're doing it!
Love love love these! Can't wait to try them.
I love baking up crispy and healthy eggplant.I make it all of the time. My latest breading is a mix of quinoa flakes and parmesan cheese- it is so beyond delicious I intend to make it tonight!
Quinoa flakes + parmesan sounds fantastic, I'm so gonna try it!
Yum! I love eggplant. Will have to give these a try.
Same here Lauren, eggplant lover big time.
These baked fries are truly fantastic, let me know how you like 'em!
I hear you mate. Grilling is good but can get boring after a bit, it's good to have options.
I eat fries only when it's baked like this, looks this good and made at home. Thankfully I can avoid it outside.

McAuliffe: I'll Have the 'Funnest Campaign' If I Run for President
Terry McAuliffe / Getty Images
David Rutz - April 2, 2019 2:30 PM
Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D.) said he will run the "funnest campaign" and won't apologize for being a white male if he joins the large field of 2020 Democratic presidential candidates.
McAuliffe told conservative radio host John Fredericks Monday he is still considering jumping into the race, despite having passed his previously self-imposed March 31 deadline. Asked by Fredericks if he was "going to run and apology tour and apologize … for being a successful white male," McAuliffe said no.
"If I do run, it will be the funnest campaign. It will be a happy tour," he said, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
McAuliffe agreed with the sentiments of former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the Republican-turned-independent-turned-Democrat who said he didn't want to go on an "apology tour" like former Vice President Joe Biden and former Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D., Texas) have for having white privilege.
"This is a self-made man who created a vibrant business, thousands and thousands of people he hired, paid 'em well and provided them with benefits," McAuliffe said of Bloomberg. "And that's going to be a negative? I mean are you kidding me? That is the American success story. He is an entrepreneur's entrepreneur."
Bloomberg has said he won't run, although Axios reported the billionaire could get into the race if Biden ultimately decided not to run. The Times-Dispatch report also noted McAuliffe's decision to run could hinge on whether Biden gets into the race.
He told the Free Beacon last year he was the best-suited Democrat to take on President Donald Trump and suggested he'd clobber Trump if he invaded his personal space during a debate.
McAuliffe said there "may not be oxygen" for someone like him, given his links to the Democratic establishment and reputation as a more center-left figure in a primary defined by candidates racing to the left. McAuliffe is closely tied to the Clintons, served as the chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 2001 to 2005, and said he's "absolutely" a capitalist.
CNN reported last month many top Democratic donors are waiting to see what McAuliffe does before committing to a candidate. He's known for his fundraising prowess while running the DNC; he even wrote in a memoir about leaving his wife and newborn son in the car for an important event that raised a million dollars.
McAuliffe suggested Virginia is currently a laughingstock, after Fredericks pointed out GOP issues before he took office and now with the current Democratic leadership. Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam and Attorney General Mark Herring (D.) admitted wearing blackface in their youth in February, and Lieutenant Gov. Justin Fairfax (D.) has been accused of sexual assault by multiple women.
Northam and Fairfax resisted calls for their resignations by numerous prominent Democrats, including McAuliffe.
"The only period we were not a laughingstock was when you were governor. Right?" Fredericks said.
"Right," McAuliffe said, claiming he didn't have any scandals while running the state from 2014 to 2018.

Cherai Beach is located at a distance 25 km from Kochi. It is an ideal destination for swimming and sunbathing. Cherai Beach is considered as one of the most beautiful beaches in Kerala.
Cherai is the only place in Kerala where you can see, sea on the Western side and the backwaters on the East. Lush green coconut palms, paddy fields and chinese fishing nets on the waterfront are the other attraction in Cherai beach. Tourists can also go for ride in the water-scooter and speedboats, which are available here on rent. Occasionally, tourist can enjoy jumping and playing dolphins in the sea.
Muziris is an ancient port town in Kerala which lost its glory centuries ago but it still holds a kind of beauty that is filled with history and culture. This region forms a part of the heritage tourism circuit between North Parvur and Kodungalloor.
Fort Kochi, located at a distance of 8 kms from the Kochi city. It is Kerala's prime tourist spot, spreading across islands and promontories in a stunning location between the Arabian Sea and backwaters.

The development of on-purpose 1,3-butadiene (BDE) technologies remains an active area in catalysis research, because of the importance of BDE in industrial polymer production. Here, we report on a nonoxidative dehydrogenation catalyst for the production of BDE prepared by atomically precise installation of platinum sites on a Zn-modified SiO2 support via atomic layer deposition (ALD). In situ reduction X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), CO chemisorption, and high-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) imaging of activated PtZn/SiO2, revealed the formation of a uniform, well-distributed subnanometer- to nanometer-sized PtZn (1.2 ± 0.3 nm) alloy as the active catalytic species.

Q: Spring Roo 1.1.0.M1 .jspx rewriting I am attempting to customize a create.jspx in Roo 1.1.0.M1. I am removing some fields from the UI that I want to automatically set in the controller (eg. dateCreated, createdBy).
This works ok, UNTIL I edit the entity java file in any way. Roo then proceeds to rewrite my create.jspx back to the way it used to be
There is no automaticallyMaintainView=false option in 1.1.0.M1, so my question is: How do I get Roo to leave my .jspxs alone? I am at the stage where I want full control and don't want Roo changing them any more.

A: Set "z" attribute to "user-managed" and "render" attribute to "false" so Spring Roo leaves it alone.
http://static.springsource.org/spring-roo/reference/html-single/index.html#d4e1544
or in controller change RooWebScaffold(automaticallyMaintainView=false)

A: Since Roo 1.1.0.x Roo offers complete round tripping of your jspx view resources which makes the need for automaticallyMaintainView flag obsolete. Roo will not delete any changes you add to your jspx file.
