Two-Fold Motivation: Anger and Humour
"If you've got an itch, you have to scratch it yourself." This Arab proverb sums up Nabila Espanioly's outlook on life. Don't accept the role of the victim; take active measures to change things for the better; use your strength! This is what she demands of herself, as a Palestinian citizen of Israel and as a woman in Arab society. And so, for more than three decades now, the psychologist has been an energetic campaigner for the civil rights of the Palestinian minority in Israel; for peace between Israel and Palestine on the basis of the two-state solution; and for equal rights for women.
This year, Nabila Espanioly shared the international Aachen Peace Prize with the Jewish-Israeli historian and peace activist Reuven Moskowitz. She was given the prize in recognition of her efforts to promote peace and human rights in the Middle East. After the awards ceremony in early September, she was invited to Bonn by the Israel/Palestine Working Group. Martina Sabra took the opportunity to conduct a lengthy interview with Nabila Espanioly, who studied in Bamberg (among other places), and who speaks fluent German.
A two-fold motivation: anger and humour
In Bonn, she had spent two and a half hours reporting on the Middle East conflict, and most of the audience would happily have listened to her for longer. Despite decades of often nerve-wracking attempts to promote a just solution for both Israelis and Palestinians, Nabila Espanioly has never lost her highly infectious sense of humour. But another source of her motivation is anger : "What keeps me going is my rage. I am often furious." She says she was brought up to respect other people's human rights: "These values were communicated to me by my parents, by my teachers, such as the poet Tawfiq Zayyad, and - last, not least - by my Christian upbringing."
After receiving her award in Aachen, Nabila Espanioly accepted the invitation from the Arbeitskreis Israel-Palästina to speak in Bonn. She has known and admired her co-prizewinner, the Jewish Israeli Reuven Moskowitz, for many years: "We have often worked together; for example, when he accompanied groups on educational trips to "At-Tufula", our centre in Nazareth, so that these visitors could acquire information on the difficult situation of the Palestinians in Israel. And we often teamed up to organise peace demonstrations in Israel and the occupied territories."
Second Palestinian-Israeli duo to win peace prize in Germany in 2003
Nabila Espanioly and Reuven Moskowitz are the second Palestinian-Israeli duo to receive a high-profile peace price in Germany this year: in June, the world-famous Palestinian poet Machmud Darwisch and the Jewish-Israeli psychoanalyst Dan Bar-On were awarded the Erich Maria Remarque Prize by the city of Osnabrück. How does it feel for a Palestinian to receive a peace prize in Germany, while her compatriots in the Israeli-occupied territories face an increasingly hopeless situation, and while the German government does little to support the Palestinians' right to determine their own future and achieve a viable Palestinian state? Nabila Espanioly responds with a smile: "The Aachen Peace Initiative, which awards the prize, is one of only a few groups in Germany that are trying to ensure the voices of the others are also heard. And that's why I have no problem accepting the prize."
She certainly doesn't feel that the prize is a kind of alibi: "But I do feel it's too much of an honour for me alone, and that's one reason why I passed it on immediately to a group of men and women who are fighting for similar objectives. And I want to use the prize so that voices are heard that some would prefer to see silenced: Palestinians in Israel, the peace movement in Israel, the women, the children, the suffering Palestinians, the sensible, reasonable Jewish Israelis - all those who feel rage or fear in the face of the occupation. These are the people to whom I want to give a voice."
"Stay close to the wall, where it's safe"
The far-flung clan of the Espaniolys has existed in Nazareth for centuries, and has indeed lent its name to an entire area of the city: "Hay Spanioly", the Spanish Quarter, is part of Nazareth's picturesque Old Town. Nabila was born in 1955, "as the seventh child in a family of eight daughters and two sons". At that time, Galilee was still under military rule. In order to travel from one town or village to another, inhabitants of the Palestinian areas required written permission from the Israeli army, which was only granted as a matter of political goodwill. Piece by piece, Palestinian land, once the very basis of the people's life, was confiscated almost entirely by the Israeli state. Many Palestinians - especially members of the older generation - felt helpless, and did their best to fit in with the status quo. Nabila Espanioly remembers: "They used to pronounce a proverb to us children and young people: 'Stay close to the wall, where it's safe'. In other words: 'No experiments'."
In 1966, military rule in Galilee was ended. Nonetheless, the Palestinian minority - in official parlance, "Israeli Arabs" - were still disadvantaged in many ways: in the assignment of development funds from local authorities, in the field of education, and in their professional lives. The second generation - Nabila's - was no longer prepared to accept this: "In my case, the light went on when I tried to matriculate as a student of Social Work in Haifa: I was turned down. When I turned to my sister, she said, 'Nabila, don't you realise you have to fight for everything?'" Nabila resolved to take up the struggle and was eventually admitted to university; later, she even got a job as a government-employed social worker. But her active commitment to the rights of Palestinians soon got her into trouble. "I lost my job three times, and I'm sure Israel's internal secret service had something to do with it", she says. At the beginning of the Eighties, Nabila Espanioly went to Germany to study.In 1987, she returned and founded "At-Tufula", a centre for women and children in Nazareth. One of her goals was to improve the care and education of pre-school children in the Palestinian areas of Israel. The centre is now supported by the Heinrich Böll Foundation. Nabila Espanioly sees it as one of At-Tufula's main tasks to assist children in the development of their personal and cultural identity: "We produce children's books and educational materials that enable the children to perceive their Palestinian identity, and to reflect upon it. For if one wishes to co-exist with the other Israel, the Jewish Israel, one has to exist in the first place." She is also a founder member of "Mosawa" (Equal Rights), a joint Palestinian-Israeli organisation based in Haifa.
Taxation without representation
Mosawa campaigns for the civil rights of Israel's 1.2 million Palestinians, who make up around one fifth of the Jewish state's population and who still feel like second class citizens. "Although we pay taxes like everyone else, Palestinian towns and villages are, on average, much more poorly developed", says Nabila Espanioly. "Entire villages have been declared illegal by the Israeli government. They have no water, no electricity and no social services." She says that Palestinian parents receive lower child benefit payments, despite paying the same social insurance contributions. Palestinian schools are far less well-equipped, and it is very difficult for Palestinians to acquire access to a university.
Right now, Mosawa is also campaigning against a new Israeli law, which stipulates that Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza will no longer acquire Israeli citizenship when they marry Palestinians from Israel: "This means that the married couples affected will no longer be able to live together in Israel, but will be forced instead to move to the occupied territories, or even to go abroad. The law affects 21,000 individuals; i.e., around 100,000 people, when one includes their families!"
Palestinians must be recognised as a national minority
Nabila Espanioly demands that Israel's Palestinians be recognised as a national minority: "I'm a Palestinian, not an Israeli Arab, but the reactionary forces in Israel refuse to refer to us as Palestinians. For that would mean admitting that this country used to be Palestine, and that non-Jews also have a right to live here on an equal footing." In 1948, Israel expelled 750,000 Palestinians and destroyed almost every Palestinian town and village. Nabila Espanioly insists that Israel must acknowledge this historical injustice and accept responsibility for it: "Until they do so, we cannot look to the future." She herself, however, sees her own future in Nazareth, where she has bought a flat: "When we have a Palestinian state, then I'd like to have a Palestinian passport. But I wouldn't leave Nazareth. I want to live in Israel, but as a citizen with equal rights."
Since the Eighties, Nabila Espanioly has been politically active, not just as a Palestinian but as a feminist: "Female Palestinians in Israel are subjected to three separate kinds of discrimination: as members of the Palestinian minority, as women in Israel and as women in conservative Palestinian society." Today, she works alongside Jewish and Palestinian women to oppose violence against women, and to promote equal rights in the workplace. Together with the international organisation "Women in Black" and the Israeli-Palestinian "Women's Coalition for Peace", Nabila Espanioly coordinates campaigns against the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, and organises aid convoys for the areas cut off from the outside world. "The terror inflicted on civilians by Hamas and Jihad is a dreadful thing, and I am completely against these attacks", say Nabila Espanioly. "But you have to recognise that Israel is also carrying out acts of terrorism.
Hamas and Jihad playing into Sharon's hands
Ariel Sharon still believes that he can use military methods to destroy the Palestinians' desire for self-determination; and Hamas and Jihad are playing into his hands." For Nabila Espanioly, there is only one solution: two independent states - Israel and Palestine. And she demands that the United States and Europe play a more active role than they have done hitherto: "We can't manage this alone; we need pressure from outside." This, she emphasises, includes pressure from Germany. She understands Germany's feeling of responsibility towards Israel and the Jews since the mass murders of the Nazi period; but she insists that that these feelings of guilt must not be exploited to smother all criticism of the way Israel treats the Palestinians - or to reject the Palestinians' right to self-determination.

Where have you been, Zac Efron?
I've been asking during our liveblogs occasionally (which have been temporarily suspended while I'm here in Toronto), and during the MTV Movie Awards, where Zac Efron has been. There have been very few pap shots of Zac for a while. Smart move. Don't let us have too much. Make them miss you.
The expression is Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder. And in Zac's case...
True? Or did you not care to begin with?
Thing is, I've always been medium about Zac Efron. But after not seeing him for a stretch, and then seeing him all man and lean on the beach...
Maybe it's more like medium plus now. The challenge with Zac of course is that he was just so Boy before. Teen. I'm not saying he's not Teen anymore. It's just... staring at Justin Bieber all the time... I guess that's made things all relative. Ultimately, whatever your feelings about him, it was a good move to go underground for a while. So many of them don't understand why this is helpful, sometimes essential, and can be very good for a career.
But his friends look douchey, non? I guess you throw a group of shirtless guys together, wearing boardshorts and shades, and it might always end up being the same result. That's the effect of the MTV generation.
Attached – Zac spent the 4th of July in Malibu with friends.

- "The Avifors spellbook is located on the other side of the crawlspace. Once you have managed to collect it, the Avifors spell will be yours."
- —Minerva McGonagall invites Harry Potter to take this book.[src]
The Avifors spellbook is a book that contained information on the spell Avifors. It also contained the instructions on how to perform the spell. Professor Minerva McGonagall owned a copy of the spellbook and placed it inside an underground obstacle course where she tasked her students to retrieve the spellbook. Harry Potter took up the challenge and found the book.[1]

My new employer recently announced that we must turn our vacation schedules for 2009 by the end on January. I'm hoping to attend a few rallies this year, the 49er in Auburn and the Beemer Bash in Quincey for two but don't have the dates. Is there a calendar that might list these? Also I understand that there is also one in the Red Rock area of Utah. Any report on this one and date for 2009?
Thanks in advance

April 9, 2008
The University of California, Davis, has signed co-exclusive license agreements with Watt Stopper/Legrand of Santa Clara, Calif., and Axis Technologies Inc. of Lincoln, Neb., to commercialize inventions that reduce the cost and increase the reliability of daylight harvesting systems. The license agreements cover a package of strategies and technologies developed by the California Lighting Technology Center
(CLTC) at UC Davis.
Daylight harvesting systems automatically adjust indoor lighting to match changes in ambient daylight.
"UC Davis is proud of its leadership in energy-saving inventions such as these. We are very pleased to have partnered with two leading lighting companies to take this technology to market to provide clean energy solutions for our nation," said David McGee, executive director of UC Davis InnovationAccess, which manages intellectual property and licensing issues on behalf of the university.
Daylight harvesting has tremendous potential to reduce both energy costs and demand for electricity at peak times. But the concept has been difficult to realize because of issues of reliability and the cost of commissioning.
"We see these innovations increasing the reliability and decreasing the cost of daylight harvesting systems," said Konstantinos Papamichael, professor of design at UC Davis and associate director of the CLTC.
Currently, daylight harvesting systems are set up by a technical expert who makes adjustments specific to the space and location. Even small changes in the lit space -- rearranging furniture, for example
-- can change the reflective properties of the space and require expensive, expert adjustments.
Papamichael added that the licensed inventions include advances in three areas. CLTC researchers have developed tools that allow the system to calibrate itself continuously and automatically, adjusting to any changes in the room and reducing the need for expert commissioning.
Secondly, the researchers have devised technology to use two light sensors, rather than one, to get a more reliable measure of ambient daylight. Finally, the team exploited the properties of photo sensors to get better measurements of light approaching the sensor from an angle, rather than just head-on.
The work leading to the inventions was supported by the Public Interest Energy Research program of the California Energy Commission.
About the California Lighting Technology Center
The California Lighting Technology Center was established in 2004 as a joint program of UC Davis and the Public Interest Energy Research
(PIER) program of the California Energy Commission. More information:
About UC Davis InnovationAccess

Editor's note: Terrie M. Williams is a celebrity publicist who has represented stars from Eddie Murphy to Chris Rock. She is also a mental health advocate and author of "Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We're Not Hurting." Dr. Dawn Porter is founder of FamilyRenewed.com, child adolescent and adult psychiatrist. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- Smart, successful, funny and handsome. Robin Williams seemed to have it all. And yet, today he is dead. Apparently, by his own choice.
But why? What went wrong?
The joy, spontaneity and humor of Robin Williams likely masked the daily torment he endured in his on-again-off-again struggle with depression. He made us laugh out here, but he was in pain in there. Unfortunately, I know that pain.
In his death, we have lost one of the most talented and creative spirits on the planet. Still, his death by suicide should be a wake-up call for us all. It is to remind us that many of us are walking a fine line -- smiling on the outside while slowly dying on the inside.
I didn't know Robin personally, so I am unable to speak with any certainty as to why he chose to end his life. But I have experienced that kind of torment and pain. For years, I, too, struggled with depression. And many days, I still do.
Complete coverage on Robin Williams
Those who are suffering will do just about anything not to feel the pain anymore. And in those moments, their brains become their worst enemies. It often takes an outside force to provide light, to make sure those dark thoughts aren't, as in the case of Robin, our last thoughts.
According to the Centers for Disease Center, suicide rates increased from 2000 to 2011 from 10.4 deaths per 100,000 to 12.3 deaths per 100,000.
The rate of suicide is higher and rising among men. In 2011, 78.5% of suicides were by men, at a rate of 20.2 deaths per 100,000.
The rate of suicide is rising in all age groups except 85 and older and is highest in individuals 45 to 64, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
We know and feel that the stigma of mental health is making it even harder for those of us who need support to reach out and get it. Living with depression is isolating and demoralizing and often reinforces the pain that we are in.
We can't let these tragedies continue. The ripple effect is immeasurable. Now, his loss has to change how we move forward.
When someone dies, it is tragic. But when someone dies by suicide, there are so many competing emotions from all who are touched that there is no understanding the impact. We all wonder 'why?'
No two lives are identical and to make judgments about another's choice is often more destructive than helpful. But we have to remember that everyone is dealing with their own stuff behind their own mask. We don't know what's really going on, so we must be careful not to judge.
Too many are dying because of the deafening silence. Everyone you know goes through or is going through the fire, and that's the truth.
For me, depression has been part of my journey for a very long time. Long before I knew what to call it, there it was walking with me, side by side. There it was, holding my hand, invading my thoughts causing me to sleep longer, eat more and rarely smile whenever I spent time alone with myself.
I learned to dance the dance, to smile for my friends, for my parents, for the audience, for the camera. I smiled, all while inside a hurricane was sweeping me into an ocean of darkness.
You are ashamed. I was ashamed. We are all somehow very ashamed to admit to others our feelings of doom.
There is no one size fits all reason for depression's presence. For some it is childhood demons. For others, a chemical imbalance. It can be brought on by stressful situations or hang around forever in the background like a stubborn gray cloud.
Just as there is no single explanation for this emotional predator, there can be no one-size-fits-all solution. It starts with sharing and admitting the pain. Nothing can be fixed until we admit that it is broken, until we acknowledge that there is a problem. From that point forward, we must work toward our healing solutions, because we are fighting for our life.
My battle with depression has diminished greatly, although I'm not sure that it will completely disappear. What I do know is that having it gone completely is a personal goal that I've set and will continue to take whatever steps are necessary to accomplish it.
Writing my book "Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We're Not Hurting" was part of the journey. I wanted to help other people better understand what they were going through. Now I've co-founded with Madeline McCray the New Legacy Leaders Project to carry the mission forward. The mantra of the initiative, "Our Vision Our Journey, Beyond Depression, Obesity and Poverty to Wellness and Prosperity."
How can we stop our best and brightest, our loved ones, from killing themselves when alone in that darkness? How can we make a difference?
First, we have to take off the mask. We must begin to share our pain. By talking about it, everyone will realize that they are not alone. And they do not have to go through this journey alone.
Next, we must get involved and demand that our elected representatives support legislation that make resources available for everyone to get the support and help they need.
Lastly, we've got to reach out to each other. When you see someone struggling, don't just ignore them, write them off or assume they'll just "snap out of it." Call them, visit them, keep an eye on them. Have a cup of coffee and just listen. We all have a shared responsibility in the health and well-being of our society, one friend at a time.
Robin Williams' death is a stark reminder to all of how much work there is to do. He was brilliant, and he brought joy to so many others. Yet it seems that inner peace escaped him. But he is at peace now. Still, those he left behind -- his family and friends -- are left to try to make sense of it.
Videos: The world according to Robin Williams
It might not ever make sense.
You never really know what goes on inside someone's head. We all wear a mask.

Located in the very heart of Krakow's best party district, this hotel offers comfortable, spacious rooms. All rooms are equipped with a large spacious bathroom and offer great views over the place which is where Steven Spielberg shot Schindler's List. At the same time it's nowadays full of trendy bars and restaurants in each street surrounding the hotel, with Main Square also being a slow 10 minute walk away. Wi-Fi is available throughout the hotel and a varied breakfast with hot and cold foods is served daily. The onsite restaurant serves Polish and international dishes and features a summer garden. There is also a bar which is open until 10pm, but for Party Krakow groups they are willing to hire it out for the entire evening.
Right from the beginning Party Krakow were a great help to me when arranging my sister's hen party. We were a very large group of 20 but the sales team did a great job in advising us on what to see and do, and the guides were simply wonderful. We chose to do the salsa dancing lessons which were such a giggle and also took a pub crawl with nightclub entry. The nightclub was one of the best I've ever been to and the guides we had were such good fun . I'd highly recommend both Krakow as a destination and also Party Krakow as the company to make it happen.
When I was given the task of organizing a stag for 40 Irish guys in Krakow I became a little worried I couldn't pull it off. Luckily the guys at Party Krakow helped me out, bigtime! It was a blast. The meal was superb, great food and entertainment. Service was excellent, I couldn't fault it so many thanks to you for all your help, it was much appreciated.All the lads had a great time, it got quite messy! 3 lads missed the flight… Will be back again if going to Krakow. Simple.
All 13 of us couldn't speak more highly of the service provided by Party Krakow, everything ran like clockwork and was very reliable.The guides provided were excellent, the accommodation was good and in a great location close to the centre of Krakow and the Jewish quarter (where the food was indeed fantastic as they promised). The guided tour of the night life on the first night was a great introduction as to what was on offer and greatly assisted us on deciding where to go and what to do for the following evenings. The shooting was very well organised and incredible fun, also there was such a large selection of weapons to have the opportunity to fire, which made it an even better experience. The trip to Auschwitz again was incredible, the guide supplied to take us around the two camps was so good I can't even begin to do her justice. She conducted the tour in such a graphic and detailed way that not one of us could really speak for much of the tour, we were completely caught up in trying to comprehend what we were seeing and hearing. Going to a place like that is never something that you can say is enjoyable, but we were all so glad we had the chance to experience it and gain a better understanding of it, however it was quite upsetting at times. Party Krakow helped make our trip a very memorable one for all, and I hope that one day I get the chance to return to Krakow
Hands down best stag we've been on. All ran smoothly and stag was dribbling at both girl sand booze. Would recommend you to anyone. Infact I know people will go to krakow in the future and will give them your details . Thanks pal if you need me to fill out anysurvey/Facebook thing then send me a link I would be happy to. much apprecited as hostsand snowmobiling were brilliant ! Perfect serviceSent from my iPhone
We had an amazing weekend the activities were excellent the guide was very friendly and chatty and the taxi driver that took us.. Would like to thank them both. We are thinking of going back next year for my mates stag do. We r looking at 15 to 20 people. Can u give me a price for the same activities and 3 nights accomadation. We would want to be close to the main square as we were where we stayed this year. We r looking around mid July Friday to Monday. Thanks
Many thanks to you and your staff for making the stag weekend hassle free. We all had an excellent time in Krakow, although a few of the stag party still seem to be recovering. I really enjoyed the activities, especially the paintballing, as I like shooting. The accommodation was spot on.. clean, tidy, and nothing fancy. Gosia was great and done a sterling job, even with the drunken Irish. Krakow is a lovely city and I would like to visit it again in the future, without the incredible volumes of alcohol that we consumed. As you know, I was a bit cautious about booking activities/ accommodation online, especially at the risk of other peoples money. I was glad when everything worked out. So, I guess the only way to build confidence in new customers is to have real reviews with photo's (these helped me gain confidence). I will place a review on the 'Facebook' site when one of the stag party sends me the group photo. Also, I have forwarded your contact details to one of the guys on the stag with us. I think you may have another group coming your way in the future.
Sorry for the delay in responding. Last week was crazy with the wedding and I'm just aftergetting back home to Sydney. I thought Krakow was a lovely city and we all had a great weekend there. Thanks to you and the girls for making our stay so enjoyable. Both of the girls were extremely helpful and friendly and I have absolutely no negative comments on them. For the pub crawl, may I suggest that you hand out a map or a little list of bars as part of the tour, either at the beginning or end. We were very happy with all the places we went with Tosia but on Saturday we couldn't remember any of the names of the places we went on Fri or where exactly they were. All places seem to be underground so it was hard enough to distinguish one from the other.The go-karting was fantastic and everybody really enjoyed it. Beers on the way back in the bus probably isn't the greatest idea as the road is very bumpy and I ended up spilling my beer! If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks again for all of your help and thanks to the girls as well

Jeremiah was a bullfrog. Was a good friend of mine. This fella is not a bullfrog, but he sure is handsome!
I took the reference photo at my friend Nancy Down's destination garden in Langdon, NH. She has a small pond in her garden that was lined with tadpoles. This frog was perched on a rock on the edge of the pool. He didn't budge as I photographed him from every angle. I don't know what it is with frogs, but they become relaxed around me. I find them quite easy to photograph.
I have finally gotten around to drawing this frog in pastels. The drawing is rendered in soft pastels on smooth, white vellum. It is 8 x 10" in size.

What's your favorite vegan or vegetarian friendly product?
Hmmm, chosing one would be a quite challenge. My favorite and one of the most versatile foods is soy. There is: edamame, tofu, soy milks, yogurts, cream cheese, butter, cheese shreds, ice cream, etc. We eat a variety of non-soy related items as well.
Our family focuses on eating whole foods, but do eat meat analogs on occasion. Gardein is hands down our family favorite.
Lately, we've been enjoying coconut based items a lot. It is also versatile: coconut milk, yogurt, oil, etc. It makes an excellent substitute for butter in baking.

Kids Using a Walkman Is the Funniest Thing
Before mp3 players and iPhones, there was the Walkman. Revolutionary in its time and nearly universal among teens of the '80s, it's now a relic today's children simply can't understand.
In this video, kids are given a Walkman and try to figure out just what the heck it is.
From trying to open it to inserting the cassette to laughing at the headphones, it's funny to watch these youngsters who look at this form of technology the way the previous generation eyed 8-tracks.
And just think -- there will probably come a day when these kids have kids who will be stunned their parents used a phone to listen to music instead of, you know, just thinking of a song and having it automatically play.

Sean, it might help to first model an existing building, with actual data to compare your model results against. At least one with a year's worth of gas and electricity usage. You mention 216345.05 of Site Energy Usage. Is this total BTU/year?
I simulated millions of square feet of commercail buildings with DOE2 back in the 90's, but that was many moons ago. As I recall, one of the limitations I found with DOE2 was that is didn't handle air flow between zones very well. For example, if there was an exhaust air flow in a zone, the thermal model assumed the outside air entered that zone to be either heated or cooled, rather than drawing its air from surrounding rooms. I also seem to recall I could not assign a schedule to how infiltration entered the spaces, or relate infiltration to outside wind speeds, and had to rely on the outside air schedules in the HVAC system. I found that accurately modeling a residential home can be more difficult than accurately modeling a large commercial building. For these reason, your model might be more accurate if you used blocks instead of trying to accurately draw each room.
That being said, I like how SketchUp can provide a visual image of the surfaces and zones that are being modeled.
Keep us up to date on your progress.
Can you describe your data acquisition method and sensor type/location. I just completed 24 months of hourly monitoring on a passive solar residential building and have a Very large excel file of data that has been evaluated in many different ways. This buildings' energy use was modeled using HOT 2000, prior to construction, in 1993. We have since modeled with Eplus and Greenbuild Studio, only to find that passive solar contributions are not recognized by Eplus & GbStudio.
Our wireless monitoring equipment measures hourly conditions for: all heating zone temps and humidy, gas to boiler & dhw, electric consumption , insolation, wind speed and direction. We have found that the actual building axillary energy requirements were not very well represented by conventional modeling tools, but found that HOT 2000 did a respectable job of identifying the 40% solar contribution that was disregarded by the other tools. Forty percent is a huge margin of error and I am wondering if anyone else has encountered the same issues that we have? This building is in CZ-6 with lots of sunny days>
Sounds like a fair question to me. I'd like to know more about using Sketch-Up with EnergyPlus.
Although this is not a residential building, this graph tracks the reduction in energy consumption that we have been able to achieve for the headquarters building that I work in. The energy savings were achieved by adjusting the settings on the building control system to reduce the minimum air flow settings on the variable air volume boxes and turn off the fans during unoccupied hours.
Documented 19% overall energy savings in nine residential homes that participated in our "Reduce Your Use" contest.
The winner reduced their January through March consumption by 35% by replacing their windows, sealing air leaks and turning off their hot tub.
Winners were determined imperically using the average monthly temperature approach described in this discussion forum. Baseline energy use was established based on a linear correlation of the home's normalized energy consumption for 2008-09 and 2009-10 winters. The actual energy consumed during the past three months was compared to two year's of average monthly energy use when the average temperature was below 45F.

Hi everyone,
Im still fairly new to java and i've gotten stuck on a small part of exercise. Could anybody help me? Heres the question relating to this section:
Write a class to encapsulate the notion of a rectangle. A rectangle is represented by two integers representing its length and height, respectively. As well as its instance variables, the class should have instance methods called get() and isSquare(). Method get initialises the instance variables with, respectively, a length and height read from the keyboard. Method isSquare returns a boolean corresponding to whether this rectangle is a square or not. There is no need to write a constructor.
It's probably really simple but i'm just a bit unsure as to what to write in the isSquare method below.
This is what i have so far
public class Rectangle { private int length; private int height; public void get() { System.out.println("Please enter length and height"); int l = Integer.parseInt(Console.readToken()); int h = Integer.parseInt(Console.readToken()); } public static boolean isSquare(Rectangle r) { ??? } }
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks

PARIS: Rihanna eyes up French fashion industry
PARIS — She may sing "Please Don't Stop The Music," but the music at the Balmain show had well and truly stopped when seven-time Grammy Award-winner Rihanna sneaked in the back door, after everyone had left.
That is, apart from a handful of people.
The singer caused a stir earlier this month when she said she wants to launch her own fashion label — so could this appearance have been a reconnaissance mission?
Here are the highlights of Thursday's fall-winter ready-to-wear shows.
The singer, who had plum lips and wore a revealingly plunging terre verte belted Balmain jacket without a bra, arrived at Paris' Hotel de Ville with heavy security, and was greeted by friend and designer Olivier Rousteign, who hugged her and gushed: "She's the hottest girl in the world."
The well-dressed Barbadian superstar has her eyes set on the fashion industry — and not just as the face of Balmain.
When asked Thursday if she was here to get inspiration for her own brand, she hinted she's attending Paris Fashion Week to get ideas.
"I love Balmain and can be inspired by (Rousteign's) clothes. I'm inspired by everything here (in Paris)," she told The Associated Press, her only comments before being whisked away.
Rihanna is no stranger to the industry: she's created collections for two fashion labels before for Armani in 2011, and for high-street brand River Island. She may hope to tread a path similar to rapper Kanye West, who now has his own fashion brand, shows in Paris and is a regular attendee at runway shows.
Zebra stripes, leopard print, beaded jackets mixed with khaki colors, flak pockets and safari pants.
Yes, this was Africa — at least, Balmain's opulent and decadent version of it.
And the exotic musing helped Rousteign produce a subtler collection than usual.
The brashness was still there of course in a citrus yellow fleece sweater or in the waists which were cinched to within an inch of life.
But the fall-winter collection saw some of the best looks seen so far this season, like a petrol blue knotted rope sheath with a regal-feel twinned with beige cuffs that resembled African bracelets.
L'afrique, c'est chic!
Rihanna caused a media scrum as she entered the Lanvin show in a beige trilby hat.
With the sort of fame the it-pop star possesses, it's inevitable that even the most iconic of vintage stars will be upstaged.
This was the case with Catherine Deneuve, a main fixture at Paris Fashion Week, who looked nonplussed in her front row seat as people busied around the singer.
One thing's certain: the "Belle de Jour" star won't be too bothered, since at 70, she's seen it all before.
To the set of an age-old movie studio with flood lighting Alber Elbaz produced yet another symphony of excitement, nostalgia and innovation for Lanvin.
The show in the Left bank Ecole des Beaux-Arts was varied — Elbaz famously designing to give women as much choice as possible.
The first aria: feathered riding hats alongside black, brown and white asymmetrical tweed coats had a swagger of the 18th century, with horizontal lines and fringing that was so loose it looked feathered.
The conclusion was 1930s satin dress nostalgia.
But the best segment was the fur climax in the middle. (Vegans stop reading.)
Elbaz used fur extravagantly and with style: in skirts, jackets, dresses — and even a black fur rucksack that had fashion insiders gasping.
Then he proposed a whole new concept: button down fur.
It featured in bands and lapels — and one model capped it all by sporting a gray fur bust.
Rick Owens injected Thursday's proceedings with a splash of dried blood and deathly musing.
The eccentric American designer continued using the high wading boots of his menswear show, but this time he mixed the black and pearl palette with what the program notes described as "dried blood." Normal people might call it burgundy.
Elsewhere, strangeness took on a new form altogether in abstract, enveloping silhouettes that that were sweetly described as "bodybags," which possessed high turtle necks and long billowing sleeves.
Naturally for an oddball like Owens, the show ended with a completely unrelated science-fiction vibe: C3P0 style knee caps on boots, with shoulder stripes and high round necks like Star Trek uniform.
With Owens there is always a mad unity in the disparate styles. Needless to say, his was a very cool show.
He's was one of the biggest fashion icon of the 1980s, who all but disappeared from public view after his company went bust in 1997, but Claude Montana made a rare appearance turning up for the launch Belgian designer Dries Van Noten's Paris retrospective.
"It a wonderful show actually. I love the colors and shapes. It's beautiful," Montana told the Associated Press, inside the sprawling exhibit at Paris' Musee des Arts Decoratifs where he walked around discreetly and was hardly recognized.
The designer, one of Alexander McQueen's and Riccardo Tisci's biggest influences, and was good pals with Cher in her heady days, was one of the hottest fashion tickets in the 1980s. He set the standard for opulence and excess in his fashion presentations, but in the 1990s he fell off the map.
Fashion shows have reined in their excess somewhat in recent years, especially due to the financial crisis. But the discreet 66-year-old says he still admires the presentations of the Paris fashion industry nowadays.
The Nina Ricci show progressed from covered up chic to complete see-through in a feminine show that channeled designer Peter Copping's fascination with the vintage and romantic.
And, of course, the signature flowers.
Nostalgic colors like silvery purple, deep plum and burgundy mixed up with sequined dresses with hints of the 1930s. Elsewhere, there were some dropped waists and one great black and white flying jacket with huge 1970s lapels.
The use of fur was notable, appearing inventively as luxuriant streaks or insets on capes and jackets.
The final series of high, sheer gowns had a feel of a sensual prude that might have been borrowed from Valentino.

Lose weight, get fit: Get your VO2max tested to improve your results
Faster! Stronger! Leaner! Lighter!
Stoney Eskew has heard it all. Elite athletes, people looking to lose weight or maintain weight loss, folks who can't figure out why they're working out like crazy but can't seem to budge that last 5 pounds.
Like some kind of wellness wizard, Eskew, a metabolic expert, personal trainer and weight loss specialist, lugs around a weird-looking machine that can actually help anybody looking to vastly change their fitness levels — all they have to do is strap on a mask connected to a hose and breathe while riding a stationary bike or running on a treadmill.
The data Eskew collects from that transaction, which takes about 30 minutes, will tell her everything she needs to know to recommend specific workouts — including how long, how often and how intense — as well as caloric intake and other nutritional advice that will help shed weight or amp up metabolism.
"We're really figuring out how to work out smarter," Eskew says. "I think a lot of people think, 'I just have to exercise harder or more, and then I'll get faster or lose more weight,' but we've really figured out that it doesn't quite work that way. This information is about pinpointing where you need to be with your workouts to really get your metabolism burning, targeting exactly where you need to be with your heart rate and your intensity."
What I was looking for was an assessment of my VO2, or "volume of oxygen." Basically this is the measure of how much oxygen is used by the body to convert energy from food into energy molecules — adenosine triphosphate, or ATP — which are then transferred to the muscles. This is a complex process, according to Eskew: the oxygen has to go through the lungs into the blood via the capillaries, the heart pumps the blood to the muscles and disperses it into the muscle cells, and a chemical reaction occurs that converts this into the ATP energy.
Of course, all of this is why you start to breathe harder the more you exercise. You need more oxygen to help your muscles exert more. Eventually, you will hit your maximum capacity for this exertion, which is officially your "maximal oxygen consumption," or VO2max."
The phrase VO2max was used a lot when Lance Armstrong competed because the man has a superhuman VO2max — it was reported to be anywhere from 81.2 to 85, which is off the charts. The higher your VO2max is, the longer you can usually go in endurance events, although certainly you can push this.
Even better, you can change it, although your genetics will limit it, as will your age and gender (women's readings are usually about 20 percent behind men's at the same age, sorry).
After my slow time at the Leadville Trail 100 MTB last year, increasing my VO2max is a big part of my strategy going into this year's race. My trainer, Doug Quinlivan, put increasing my VO2max at the top of my to-do list right from the start.
"The more efficiently your body can transport or process oxygen, the longer you'll be able to stay at high-level-intensity exercise," Quinlivan explained. "You can really improve this efficiency once you know what your starting level is, by building on that information and then continuing to tweak it as you improve."
Eskew measured my VO2max on Mar. 6, and it was in the "good" to "excellent" fitness level for a 46-year-old female — but that's not good enough. I'm a somewhat fit person, but I need to be in the "superior" range if I want to significantly improve my racing times.
Measuring VO2max, by the way, involves covering your nose and mouth with what looks like a clear gas mask as well as a heart rate chest strap while Eskew records the amounts of oxygen you inspire and expire at different times, from resting through a variety of levels of exertion, all the way up to absolute fatigue, while on the piece of exercise equipment of your choice. Before you test, you have to avoid eating for three hours, no caffeine for 12 hours and no exercise or alcohol for 24.
You then get a printout that depicts your VO2 levels and heart rate at rest, at the time of your aerobic threshold (AeT, when lactate starts to accumulate in the bloodstream), at your anaerobic threshold (AT, higher-intensity exercise where lactic-acid fermentation begins), and at your VO2max.
"One of the keys we see in the testing is where you start to become deficient at utilizing oxygen, at the anaerobic threshold," Eskew says, "so that's the heart rate if we can train at and around in the base-building workouts, it will help increase everything above it."
What does all of this mean? Well, the take-away here is the ability to calculate and execute a solid plan for increasing your VO2max using these numbers. One of the best ways to do this is through HIIT, high-intensity interval training, where you do intervals of almost-as-hard-as-you-can exercise alternating with rest intervals of low-intensity exercise, over and over. Eventually, you're able to increase your VO2max, as well as your ability to lower your heart rate when needed and recover more quickly, more easily.
For instance, when I first started working out with Quinlivan, I was near throwing up or just simply ready to collapse with two sessions — I would get on the stationary bike, pedal easily to bring my heart rate to 135, then pedal as fast as I could for about 30-45 seconds to get my heart rate to 180, then see how long it took me to get it back down to 135, which was about 12 minutes.
After my evaluation with Eskew, we reworked my plan using the numbers, and I'm already recovering faster — it only takes me 5 minutes to bring my heart rate back down, to 129, doing four intervals in a half hour. I do three-four sets of intervals a week; we'll retest in June to see what my VO2max is then.
The cost for the Exercise Metabolic/VO2 Assessment is $165; Eskew can meet you at fitness centers in Denver, Greenwood Village or Lone Tree to do the testing. Visit TrueMetabolismTesting.com or call 303-946-6837.
