The Empire Strikes Back
Submitted by Captain Qahn on
"There is absolutely nothing here that is about opening up some kind of new empire or anything like that. This is about bringing countries together at various stages of development to talk about the importance of having a strong commitment to liberalising trade and investment because that drives growth and it drives employment in every single country." It comes after plans for the inaugural meeting of 35 trade ministers from around the Commonwealth was criticised by UK politicians and dubbed "Empire 2.0" by civil servants.
Former Treasury Minister Lord O'Neill of Gatley said it was "embarrassing" for the UK to be vaunting deals with the likes of New Zealand when it should be going after Brazil, India, China and Russia. "Greece is bigger than New Zealand, banging on about a free trade deal with New Zealand is going to make zero difference to Britain's future in terms of trade," he said. Scottish National Party Politician Alyn Smith called the plans "delusional nonsense" earlier this week, saying "A narrow Leave vote enabled this delusional nonsense to move from lunatic fringe to UK Government policy." Scottish Transport Minister Humza Yousaf also said: "My ancestors fought against [the] British Empire in the Commonwealth. I suspect no-one wants a return to it. The Empire is dead, let it go folks." However its supporters say the line is simply being used to "kill an interesting idea, ..."
"The UK Royal Commonwealth Society's policy director Tim Hewish said the meeting is the first step of the journey which could see greater trade and visa access for Commonwealth members in the UK. "It's also about Commonwealth more broadly and what they can get out of it, not just with Britain but with each other," he said. A recent survey of businesses quizzed by the organisation found 90 per cent think Australia should be a top priority for a free trade deal. Canada and Singapore were the second priority followed by New Zealand, India, South Africa and Malaysia. Previous studies also indicated support for freedom of movement between the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand..."
"There are few institutions quite as peculiar as the Commonwealth. A coalition of some of the world's "largest, smallest, richest and poorest countries". Its exact purpose, apart from acting as a reminder of its predecessor the British Empire, has always been loosely defined and many expect it to wither. But not those behind Brexit. Some of the orchestrators of last year's historic vote think now is the perfect time to roll back the years. For them, the Commonwealth is a diamond in the rough..."

Commonwealth Day Flag
Submitted by Captain Black on
"6:02am 13th March 2017
Ceremonies are taking place on the Yorkshire Coast this morning to mark Commonwealth Day.
At 10am, the Commonwealth Flag will be raised in Scarborough's town hall gardens and Bridlington's South Cliff Gardens.
It's all part of a national initiative, which is now in it's third year.
Liam Dealtry, the mayor of Bridlington, said:
"We need to celebrate these things, it unites us all, and just for one day a year everyone goes to see the flag raising. It's great to see the Commonwealth flag go up, it's unity and it's people connecting together around the world."

"The Queen has given Royal Assent to the Brexit bill, clearing the way for Theresa May to start talks to leave the European Union.
The European Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill was passed by MPs and peers on Monday.
It allows the prime minister to notify Brussels that the UK is leaving the EU, with a two year process of exit negotiations to follow.
Mrs May says she will trigger the process by the end of the month.
It is unlikely to happen next week to avoid a clash with an informal summit of EU countries.
The meeting will mark the 60th anniversary of the Treaties of Rome, which established the European Economic Community, and in turn became the European Union.
Brexit Secretary David Davis said: "By the end of the month we will invoke Article 50, allowing us to start our negotiations to build a positive new partnership with our friends and neighbours in the European Union, as well as taking a step out into the world as a truly Global Britain."

Cyclone Cook caused power shortages, landslides, uprooted trees and forced road closures.
Ahead of the storm's arrival, some residents fled their homes as authorities declared a state of emergency in parts of the North Island.
Although the cyclone bypassed much of the country, thousands of homes are still without power.
There is still heavy rain and some roads on New Zealand's South Island remain underwater, with flooding in roads around Christchurch. Several rivers have burst their banks..."

""It's not been easy but Britain needs a thriving steel industry. That's what we're intent on delivering and that's what the new Government must support because today's news isn't mission accomplished. The share scheme and re-instatement of employees' full salaries are both deserved and welcomed. I'm also pleased to see British Steel is continuing to make the significant capital investments this business needs but people should be in no doubt, a lot of hard work lies ahead. However, I have great confidence in our employees and as we continue our growth they will ensure British Steel keeps flying the flag for manufacturing excellence at home and abroad."
"Executive Chairman Roland Junck said: "As we look to grow our business and increase our footprint, the terminal is the perfect strategic fit for British Steel. Not only does it sit next to our Teesside Beam Mill, it enjoys a coveted position in the North East which offers a superb gateway into the industrial heartland of the UK and opens up additional new routes across the globe – not only for ourselves but businesses throughout the region."
The remainder of the Terminal's shares are controlled by the Official Receiver following the collapse of SSI . It operates a 320 metre long quay 24 hours a day controlling the traffic of imports including petroleum coke, granulated slag and aggregates and exports like metallurgical coke and furnace ready scrap."

"If it goes ahead, the $21.7 billion Carmichael mine near Rockhampton will be one of the biggest in the world.
It will include six open-cut pits and five underground mines across an area five times the size of Sydney Harbour. Coal mined at the site will be sent to India via the waterfront coal terminal at Abbot Point.
The giant mine will generate so much extra coal, the terminal south of Townsville will need to be expanded to accommodate it..."

Student sexual harassment adviser committed two sexual assaults, lawsuit against Princeton claims
University fiercely defends program after plaintiff alleged attacker is a current SHARE student member
A lawsuit recently filed against Princeton University alleged that a student involved in the University's SHARE program committed two sexual assaults in 2014.
The plaintiff's alleged attacker is currently a student member of Princeton's Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources and Education (SHARE), however it not clear when he became a member, according to the lawsuit. This student's information was allegedly removed from SHARE's website for privacy reasons according to a recent filing on the case.
The claim was made in the Title IX lawsuit John Doe v. Princeton University, filed March 9 in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey.
In response, the University strongly defended SHARE's policies and hiring practices and said that it was committed to fighting the lawsuit in court.
"We have a rigorous application process such that a student found responsible for sexual misconduct would not be eligible to become a peer or to remain a peer," Daniel Day, University Assistant Vice President for Communications, wrote in an email.
"Each year, the program reviews the past performance and disciplinary history of all applicants and current members, and peers not living up to the high standards of behavior are asked to step down from their role as a SHARE peer."
Besides the SHARE peers, there are also "associate members" of SHARE, "who are allies of the program," Day said. The associate members do not have any responsibilities in the program, and are not vetted before joining.
It was not clear if the lawsuit claimed that the alleged attacker was a SHARE peer or an associate member.
SHARE identifies itself on its website as "a survivor-centered, trauma-informed confidential resource on campus for the Princeton University community." A division of the University founded in 1988, its student peers help survivors of sexual assault, among others.

House Extends Satellite License For 60 Days
The House has punted on the satellite bill until January. A 60-day extension of the satellite distant signal license was included in the Department of Defense reauthorization bill that passed Dec. 16 in the House (the vote was 395-34).
The license allows satellite operators to deliver distant network affiliated TV station signals to viewers who cannot get a viewable signal of their local affiliate. It would have expired Dec. 31 without the extension after a reauthorization bill failed to gain consensus.
That gives legislators until March 1 to come up with a standalone bill, if the Senate follows suit and passes the Defense bill. It is on the calendar for Dec. 17.
That also means the cable industry will have to wait until then to get relief from paying a copyright fee for so-called phantom signals that their customers don't receive. That had been fixed in the standalone House bill and Senate versions.
The standalone bill was blocked in the Senate, according to sources, by at least one senator unhappy with the deal letting DISH back into the distant-network signal business in exchange for delivering local TV stations in all 210 markets.
The House is now in recess until Jan. 12, with the Senate trying to wrap up its legislative session as well.

National Cereal Day: What's your favorite?
To celebrate National Cereal Day, here are some great cereal moments on the big and small screen.
Rejoice! Thursday is National Cereal Day.
The breakfast/snack food became popular after the mid-1800s as an alternative to American's unhealthy, meat-based diet, according to the National Cereal Day website.
Over the years, cereal has been injected with sugar, color and cartoon characters, and that's why we love it so much.
My favorite cereals of all time are Lucky Charms, Honey Nut Cheerios and Frosted Flakes.
But we want to know your favorites. Leave them in the comments section.

Glacier hiking and ice caving adventure in Vatnajökull glacier departing from Skaftafell. A grand tour on Europe's largest glacier.
Thu 01.Oct'20 10:30
This Ice caving and glacier hiking adventure tour in Falljokull glacier is a fantastic choice for any adventure enthusiast. Ice caves are naturally formed and are for that reason ever changing, making them even more charming and unique. The cave you visit on this tour is located quite high up on the glacier so a glacier hike is needed in order reach it. This adds value to the whole glacier experience giving you two activities in one tour!
During the winter, we are able to offer an unforgettable tour into the glacier. Every year we use a different cave, as the glacier is ever changing and it provides us with an amazing place to explore every winter. The ice cave is very sensitive to temperature, accessibility and other conditions. We always put safety first on these tours and never go into the glacier unless it is absolutely safe for our costumers. Visiting an Ice Cave provides a unique experience and great photographic opportunity. The light shining through the ancient ice projects a magical blue color that is characteristic for the crystal caves.
Your glacier hiking and ice cave adventure starts at the booking office in Skaftafell, located at the parking lot in Skaftafell National Park. Please note that you need to arrive at our booking office no later than 30 minutes prior to your departure time. Upon arrival to our booking office, our guides and staff will greet you and provide you with all the necessary gear for your glacier hiking and ice cave adventure before heading to Falljökullglacier tongue. Falljökull glacier is an outlet glacier from the magnificent Vatnajokullicecap, the largest glacier in all Europe. The drive to Falljokull from the booking office in Skaftafell is about 15-20 minutes. It is a scenic drive and you can almost feel the excitement on the bus. From the parking lot of the glacier, your certified glacier guide will help you gear up and provide you with a safety briefing before accompanying you onto the ice. Once on the ice, you start hiking in magnificent scenery to the naturally formed ice cave/ice tunnel where we spend approximately 15-20 minutes exploring all that the cave has to offer. After taking a photo or two inside the cave we hike back over the glacier, through an adventures landscape of rugged ice.
Please note that the tour is operated from Skaftafell so you need to arrange transport to the meeting place as there is no transport available for this tour from Reykjavik. If you are an experienced driver we recommend that you rent a car because the bus schedule is limited during the winter. You might also be interested in our two-day tour.
This is an ice cave tour only so it is not combined with a glacier walk.

Guiding, all necessary glacier gear, and transportation to/from Skaftafell
What do I need to bring?
Warm clothing, waterproof jacket and pants, hiking boots, head-wear and gloves.
Minimum age of passengers is: 10

DidianaranaCrystal Ice Cave
Lovely tour. Prompt departure at 9.15, the guide and the driver were both very nice, great atmosphere. The cave itself was stunning, as advertised on the website, however bear in mind there will be a lot of people there. The time allowed to explore the cave was about 40 minutes.On the way back the driver pulled over so we could take some pictures at a beautiful view point. The drive in the snow itself was fun as well.
CO719_TravelerAmazing Crystal Ice Cave Tour
The crystal ice cave was definitely one of the highlights of our winter trip to Iceland. And if you are here during the winter months this tour should be on your list of things to do. What a great experience. There were a few groups in the cave while we were there, but it was large enough that you never felt cramped. The tour guides allowed plenty of time for taking pictures and exploring the cave. So glad we included this as part of our trip.
Raquel AAMAZING!!
The 3rd of April, my boyfriend and me took the "Into the Glacier" tour with Artic Adventures.
The best part of our trip to Iceland!
Unfourtunately I don't remember the name of our guide, he is spanish. We really enjoyed our journey. From the truck trip, to the moment of tasting the purest and cleanest water, direct from the glacier to our mouths. Walking on a glacier, under the sun was incredible. Bus stepping inside and ice cave… that was a must!
Thanks again, we'll be back!!

36 Days Of Type
And that's it. Done. This year's edition of #36DaysOfType is over. It's been a self-discovery experience to try to draw a whole alphabet and the numbers in 36 different ways.
I must say I thought I was never going to complete the challenge, but day after day, in the spare time, I drew the character on a tiny sketchbook to later vectorize it. Some days, like fridays or thursdays, I completed a few of them to post them on weekend, as I use to keep myself away from the computer. Other days, I was unable to find ten minutes until almost dinner time, and drew it quickly… You know, busy days!
I've been wanting to participate in this event since I discovered last year, but I didn't have the time to do it. And today I've completed my first #36DaysOfType. Challenge accepted, challenge completed! Thanks a ton @36DaysOfType, as I've discovered a few artist on the way from A to 9. Can't wait to start again in 11 months!

Opel's new brand concept car gives a first impression of what the future holds and what Opel models will look like by the mid-2020s. It is the first vehicle to feature the new Opel face.
The Opel GT X Experimental follows the new "Opel Compass", which clearly structures the front design of future models and is simply unmistakeable. The main feature of the compass is two prominent axes that insect the brand emblem. On the one hand, this is the characteristic centre crease on the bonnet and on the other, the wing-shaped daytime running light signature. The legendary "Blitz" forms the focus point of the design.
The headlights, daytime running lights, the cameras and sensors of the assistance systems, along with the Blitz are framed by a unique design element. This element is reminiscent of the eye slot of a motorbike helmet and is therefore called "Vizor". The Opel "Vizor" makes its debut on the GT X Experimental and will give future Opel models a new, distinctive, bold and pure face.
It is becoming ever clearer, Opel is unleashing new potentials. After only one year of being part of Groupe PSA and only nine months since announcing our PACE! strategic plan, we have become a lot more efficient and can look to the future with great confidence.
The new Opel GT X Experimental will be revealed later this year and its name emphasises a long tradition of trendsetting concept cars at Opel.

Vastavam web: The US-educated son of a top aide to Paraguay's late dictator is favourite to win today's presidential election in one of Latin America's poorest countries.Opinion polls give Mario Abdo Benitez of the ruling conservative Colorado party a clear lead over his centrist opponent, Efrain Alegre, in a two-horse race to succeed outgoing conservative President Horacio Cartes.Landlocked Paraguay — sandwiched between Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil — has enjoyed consistent economic growth under tobacco magnate Cartes, but has failed to shrug off persistent poverty, corruption and drug trafficking.
However, a new generation of voter among the electorate of 4.2 million — born after the dictatorship responsible for the deaths or disappearances of up to 3,000 people — seems ready to turn the page.Polls in recent weeks have given Abdo Benitez, the twice-divorced son of Stroessner's personal secretary, a lead of 20 points ahead of 55-year-old Alegre in the race to succeed Cartes.However, the latest opinion polls predict a neck and neck finish and predicate an Abdo Benitez win on a turnout of less than 70 per cent.
But there has been little progress in alleviating poverty that has remained stubbornly at 26.4 per cent and corruption, with Paraguay languishing 135th out of 180 countries ranked by Transparency International."If Benitez loses, it will be a vote of sanction against Cartes, who has presided over a government of exclusion. People are reacting with weariness," pollsters Sneard told AFP.Abdo Benitez, who goes by the nickname "Marito", has pledged to reform the judicial system to render it less prone to corruption, but to maintain Cartes' economic policy.
The two adversaries agree on one point: they oppose the legalisation of abortion and gay marriage in the deeply conservative Catholic country."I am for life. I am against abortion and its decriminalisation, in any case. Personally, I believe that nobody can take the place of God to decide on the life or death of a person," Alegre told AFP in an interview.In addition to choosing a president, the electorate will also elect a new parliament and governors of the country's 17 departments."Paraguayan society is changing faster than its political elites, and there is a generation, which is becoming increasingly influential, which does not really remember the undemocratic regime. This is a first in the history of Paraguay," said Oliver Stuenkel, professor of international relations at the Getulio Vargas foundation in Sao Paulo, writing in Americas Quarterly.

Special Olympic Competitors Head for National Games
Julie Wright is a volunteer coach and has two sons participating in the games. She says the Special Olympics is the best organization her family has ever been involved with.
"I feel that Special Olympics, in itself, obviously is a sporting event. But more than that, I also think it's a movement, it's about changing people's opinions," explained Wright.
This year the teams are made up of unified partners. One person with no disability is paired up with each athlete to compete together.
"Well, I think for the athletes it's going to give them the opportunity to take on a leadership role and be more independent. And really it's a family thing. I mean my entire family is involved," said Wright.
The two buses left about 9 a.m. and were escorted by more than eight police cars. More than 3,000 athletes from all 50 states will participate in the games. Athletes made stops in Moberly, Macon, Kirksville, and Lancaster along the way.

Kim Hyun Joong Writes Hand Written Letter Thanking Fans
Hyo Kyung Kim, Jan. 25, 2017, 10:03 a.m.
The baby mama drama involving Kim Hyun Joong and his former girlfriend Ms Choi, is continuing on. The star recently released a hand written letter thanking fans for their support. Kim Hyun Joong's ex-girlfriend was recently indicted for fraud and manipulating evidence.
He wrote,
It's been a long time. How are you?
I had been contemplating on what to say the last few days.
Enduring much pain and hardship, I have come to realize that I am such a weak person.
However, I was able to hold on thanks to my family and friends, and to everyone who has believed in me.
This is why I was thankful for each day.
Which makes me want to ask you all this question.
Is everyone doing well?
I would like to talk more face to face.
Thank you so much always."
Sincerely, Kim Hyun Joong
Kim Hyun Joong is a South Korean entertainer, actor, singer, dancer, and the leader and main rapper of boyband SS501.

With the expiration of the contract, Kim left DSP Media, who managed him as part of SS501 and joined KeyEast in 2010. He debuted as a solo artist with his Korean mini albums Break Down and Lucky in 2011.

While many believe using carbohydrates in the form of sugar is better served for longer-termed endurance exercise, new evidence is showing that enjoying a bit of the sweet stuff can also benefit both short- and long- duration exercise like your average gym workout.
Short exercise durations, in theory, shouldn't require large amounts of carbohydrates, whereas long duration exercise, is fueled mostly by fat. So why should you consume sugar at all? The reason is that simple carbohydrates can drive and enhance exercise performance, which is why they are still part of the regular supplementation regimen for the vast majority of top athletes.
The majority of studies that have investigated carbohydrates and performance show improved performance exercise less than one hour according to a recent review paper by Trent Stellingwerff and Gregory Cox, published in the journal of Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism (1). The authors noted that even having a simple carbohydrate mouthwash can improve performance in events from 30 to 60 minutes and this effect has been replicated in several other performance studies (1).
Part of the reason sugar works has to do with signals to the brain, the authors suggest. Sugar appears to activate reward centers in the brain. Brain activity and performance expert Edward Chambers of the University of Birmingham describes carbohydrate's effect this way: "CHO mouth-washing from both sweet tasting glucose and non-sweet maltodextrin can stimulate the brain areas of the insula/frontal operculum, orbitofrontal cortex and striatum, which are involved with brain centers responsible for reward and motor control ." (2) In this way, sugar helps athletes to concentrate and keeps their nerves steady for better control and movement. Likewise, other studies on performance and perceived exertion have found similar benefits all of which support the idea that the sugar's main exercise-enhancing benefit does not occur in the working muscles themselves, but rather in the brain (3).
How much to consume during short-duration workouts? There's no need to overdo it. A maximum of 30 grams of carbohydrate per hour or a mouthful every eight-to-10 minutes is suggested by Stellingwerff and Cox (1). (That's like basically sipping on Isagenix Replenish about every 10 minutes during intense and shorter workouts for maximal benefit.)
What about exercise that lasts 60 minutes or longer? There is no question that endurance athletes will benefit for a lot more carbohydrates during exercise. For them, the best results come from combining a mix of simple carbohydrates (glucose and fructose together) as it's easier to absorb across the gut (4). The advantage of using both glucose and fructose is that the carbohydrates are absorbed by different transporters during digestion. In a mix, carbohydrate ingestion results in 20 to 50 percent higher oxidation rates compared to the just plain glucose or maltodextrin (4).
Optimal amounts of carbohydrates for endurance or long-duration exercise is about 60 grams per hour, but even at 10 grams there is a notable increase in performance (5). (In other words, drink Replenish liberally when running, cycling, or playing team sports!)
One other thing that carbohydrates can help with is improving athletic recovery. Part of the way carbohydrates help is by reducing hormonal stress during and in response to exercise. Several human studies, in fact, suggest that carbohydrates offset the suppression of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis and the rise in stress hormones (like cortisol) during periods of intense training (6).
That's all good news for athletes who love gulping down on a delicious sports drink (like Replenish and e+ shots) during a gym workout. But one word of caution is that it can be a little too easy to overdo it. Athletes who are working on losing weight, for example, will need to be sure that sugar calories during exercise don't cause them to exceed their discretionary calories for the day.
With a little planning, however, athletes can take advantage of sugar's sweet effects on the brain, on hormones, and on overall exercise performance. No matter how long the duration of the exercise, a little sugar will improve performance and make exercise more productive.

The film's producers must be delighted at the furor of the Iranian government. But how odd! The Islamic Republic believes that history started in the 7th century with Islam, so why all of a sudden are they harkening back 1100 years to infidel Persia?
In this regard, when an unpopular government like the mullacracy wishes to rally Iranians around getting the bomb, it usually appeals to nationalism, in the manner a despised Stalin after the June, 1941 Nazi invasion, suddenly began talking of Mother Russia rather than the Soviet Union.
It is true that Xerxes in Herodotus's account is bearded, seated on a throne, fully masculine, and a somewhat tragic figure who weeps at the fragility of the human condition. But the Iranians should at least be happy that their ancestral king was not shown decapitating Leonidas, or ordering the eldest son of Pythius to be cut in half, the torso put on one side of the royal way, the legs on the other, or having the waters of the Hellespont lashed and branded—in other words, there is an entire corpus in Herodotus of antidotes [anecdotes?] that might make the King seem far worse and sillier than the comic-book portrayal in the movie.
It is true that the surviving story of Thermopylae is from Greek sources only (Herodotus, various works of Plutarch, Diodorus, etc.), but that fact too illustrates the difference between an autocratic imperial east and the decentralized and autonomous city-state in which history was not merely the deeds of an autocrat chiseled on stone honorific monuments.
"Once you realize your government's sole purpose is to reserve murder of you and your family as its sacred task depending on your lack of fealty and obedience, everything sort of falls into place on why governments throughout the ages have been so murderous at home and abroad". William Buppert

Persian or Muslim?
In this article Victor Davis Hanson calls attention to the Islamic Republic of Iran's ironic condemnation of the recently released film "300". He also points out that the Greek city state of Thespia lost more than twice the number (700) killed in the battle at Thermopylae than the Spartans 300.

text: Latest Question Of The Week blog Desserts, Animals as Transport & Summer Hello gorgeous people! I hope life is well, if not I hope and pray it gets better. Dessert, I have found, have a way of comforting you in a way that other food doesn't. Sometimes this can lead to emotional eating (myself included in this :/) which is not good for you, but there is plenty of help available for this. Aside from this, desserts are great fun to eat, share and create so I asked the All Saints peeps what their 3 favourites are. Here are their yummy answers! Oreo cheesecake - amazing, apple pie - childhood, Costco sponge cakes - amazing flavour esp frosting! Ice cream - because its nice in warm weather, brownies- because they're nicely warmed up, fruit - because it's healthy, Ice cream - why not Cheesecake, sorbet - alternative to ice cream, sponge cake- goes well with custard. Red velvet cake - it's red Cupcakes, ice cream, eclairs White chocolate cheesecake, tiramisu The great thing about desserts is you can either bake them at home or go out and eat them! In order to do this, we need transport. For a very long time in our world history and still in some areas of the world today, animals were used as transport. I asked the All Saints people what animal they would use as transport [animals can adjust to size] if they didn't have the mechanical transport we have today: Shaggy Horse White horse Horse Dragon A horse A human [??] Guinea pig Bird - because you could fly A horse is a popular choice as they are fast but also can carry humans well without causing unnecessary harm to the animal. Unlike elephants for instance which are not actually made to carry heavy loads on their back so are actually damaged by carrying humans! However, I love the creativity of choosing a guinea pig as transport, and the fantastical element of a dragon or bird etc. Summer is a great time for all sorts of different activities, horse rides included! I was curious about what the young people were looking forward to this summer: The limitless festival, sun, sand, sea and chilling Nice weather and not doing anything Seeing the Red Arrows at the air show Nice weather House parties and festivals Summer scheme @ AllSaints I am looking forward to my birthday and going to the park with my dogs. Also, I am looking forward to catching a tan What are you looking forward to this summer? Have you got anything planned? Is summer something you look forward to? These are all questions we can ask each other. Get to know the people around you and maybe you'll find out something new! Sometimes, no matter how long you've known a person or place there are always things you can find out! For instance, I recently found out the origin and background to flamenco and that Spain suffered through a very severe civil war during the mid to late 20th century not long after coming out of a dictatorship and I've been going on holiday there regularly since I can remember! You don't know what you don't know unless to find out! #speaktopeople

I have gotten behind with this site – not due to an enthusiasm deficit, but rather a work surplus. Better than the alternative, but no excuse. Tuesday is a critical election day. Virginia can reelect our four threatened Democratic incumbents and continue the Change – a process which we knew would never be easy, but still offers hope and opportunity and is so much better than the alternative. So please support Congressmen Periello, Nye, Boucher, Connolly and the other Virginia Democratic candidates:
1. Vote – early if you can, but otherwise on Tuesday. To find your voting place, check here.

Club Name(s):
Over a hundred people participated in the World Wide Wrap 2009 event breaking previous records in attendance.
By 8am there was already a fairly large number of people at the shul, preparing for breakfast, helping others to lay on tefillin, and schmoozing. Reaching out to Latin America, Cantor Cattan was busy completing the setup for connecting via the Web with Congregation NSI of Montevideo, Uruguay. A large screen had been placed in front of the Bimah, allowing us to see and hear members of NSI following along with our service.
In addition, members of the bar Mitzvah class were present with their parents. Morning Minyan started at 8:30. Rabbi Farber gave a Drasha on the use and tradition of tefillin. Rabbi Rojzman pointed out how such an old tradition could coexist with modern technology and allow us to "wrap around the world"
During breakfast, a short program included words from Men's Club President Marvin Krutchik and Ed Margolis president of the Florida region. Stan Greenspan and Richard Gray of the FJMC Executive Committee presented our Club with its 2nd Quality Club Award.
After breakfast the kick-off lecture of the "Wellness" program series was presented by Dr Jay Sosenko, Professor of Medicine and Pediatrics in the Diabetes Research Institute of the University of Miami, who discussed recent research initiatives in the field of diabetes, and their implications for public health, diet and exercise for children and adults.

In my first article Smart garden irrigation I described a rather complex rules and items configuration in openHAB. This time I will focus on the less complex topic of motion detector based switching of lights and other functions. Nevertheless I would like to introduce a very nice concept of reuse within openHAB rules and provide you some hints and links to this concept.
The motion detector application
A lockable motion detection is very useful when you want to switch a light automatically in 80-90% of the cases but, on the other side, you need to lock the light on for example when you are cleaning the room or doing something that takes more time than usual.
I have many of these cases in my house, let me tell you one as an example:
I have a multi-purpose room in my basement. I use it as a store for spare parts, tools and in general stuff I don't need so often. The second purpose of the room is that sometimes I like to do some electronics stuff, soldering, etc. So occasionally I also use this room as an electronic workshop. Running in and out of the "store" normally takes a few seconds, which is handled by a motion sensor, while I additionally have provided a switch to intentionally switch the light on and keep it on as long as I need it. The motion sensor doesn't help here really as normally I am sitting for my soldering work and so the light keeps switching off after a while. Well… I could have used a presence detector for this case but really… this costs three times more than a normal motion sensor for a case that occurs only a few times a year. Of course this would be a smart house but not really a smart house holding decision 🙂
Reusable rules
One of the major flaws of openHAB's rules engine is the fact, that reuse is not really that evident at the first sight. Looking further into the documentation (and googling around with the right keywords), I discovered a concept, which I would like to share with you: Reusable rules via functions (or better lambda expressions). In a lambda expression packs a code block into an object in order to pass it as an argument to another function. This concept is not unusual in programming languages in general. You find it for example as "closures" in Javascript or "code blocks" in Objective C.
What the openHAB article Reusable rules via functions and the referenced Xtend documentation for lambda expressions don't tell, is that there is a whole collection of function and procedure types with up to six parameters, that you can use to build your reusable expressions. A good starting point is the org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib documentation.
Now let's have a look into the function I've written for the lockable motion detection and placed into my corresponding rules file:
// Bewegungsmelder Verriegelbar val org.eclipse.xtext.xbase.lib.Functions$Function3 bmVerriegelbar = [ org.openhab.core.library.items.SwitchItem bm, org.openhab.core.library.items.SwitchItem taster, org.openhab.core.library.items.SwitchItem licht | if ((bm.state==ON) || (taster.state==ON)) { licht.sendCommand(ON) } if ((bm.state==OFF) && ((taster.state==OFF) || (taster.state==Uninitialized))) { licht.sendCommand(OFF) } ]
The function object "bmVerriegelbar" is based on a three arguments function call type Functions$Function3. The lambda expression is surrounded by square brackets, which is historically inspired by the SmallTalk language. The bar separates the arguments from the actual code block, kind of a strange syntax I know but hey… we're talking about concepts born in the early 80s 🙂
The function takes three arguments:
- bm is the motion detector, represented by a switch item in openHAB.
- taster is the switch, which turns the light on and off manually and locks the motion detection function.
- licht is the light item to be switched on and off
The code itself is quite simple:
- The light is switched on as soon as the sensor detects motion or the light is switched on manually
- When the motion detector changes to OFF, the code checks for the status of the manual switch item and switches off only when the manual switch was switched off as well or not used at all.
Note that I provided an additional check for the uninitialized state of the manual switch if the items are not updated on system start.
The final rule
Building a rule that uses the reusable function "bmVerriegelbar" is now very simple. Of course we have to track status changes of our motion sensor and our manual switch and call the previously defined function as follows:
rule "Vorrat Lichtschaltung" when Item Vorrat_Taster received command or Item Vorrat_BM received command then bmVerriegelbar.apply(Vorrat_BM,Vorrat_Taster,Vorrat_Licht) end
Even though you may get to get used to the syntax of lambda expressions, they are a powerful tool for reusable functionality in openHAB rules. One thing I am missing personally is the capability to put all these functions into a library for reuse in different rules files. At least I didn't find a solution for that.
I hope you enjoyed reading, you're welcome to leave a comment here!

In Which I Review "The Last Airbender"
For anyone who has ever seen the Nickolodeon show, Avatar: The Last Airbender, the coming of the movie by M. Night was thoroughly exciting. The show, even for kids were already in high school when it came out (ahem, me) was exciting, interesting, and mainly just a really good show. Yes it cheesy at times and the whole "lesson-learning" prerogative that many kid's shows have can be a bit overwhelming, but! It was about a boy who could fly around a spinning sphere of air! How cool is that?
So, you see, I was highly interested in the movie. First of all, don't bother seeing it in 3-D, it's a complete waste of your money. This film did not take advantage of some of the really cool 3-D tricks that are done with movies these days. You will get the same experience seeing it on a regular screen, and you can buy yourself some pop corn with the money you've saved.
The movie begins much the same way the very first episode of the show began, which was a good start, in my opinion. Throughout the film, M.Night made sure to take elements from nearly every episode and work it in, even if he couldn't do an episode by episode replay in real time. I always appreciate when a film can do this because so many movies that are made from our beloved books chop and hack and tear away at the original story. Okay, so sometimes this is a good thing. But not always. Even the beginning and ending of this film were taken almost exactly from the show.
I loved the action, and I loved the bending. Seriously, it was flipping sweet! Even the physics of the bending was very similar to the show. They did their best to keep it as close to as possible. Little Noah Ringer is a pretty awesome Aang with all of his crazy Airbender moves. Even Katara had some tricks up her sleeve.
So now that I've given the good, here's the bad, or at the very least, the irritating.
The name pronunciation. I know, what a stupid little thing right? Even if the show did pronounce them wrong. But you know what, even with the people on the show pronouncing the names incorrectly, those pronunciations were the characters from then on, for good or bad. So having the actors pronounce all of the characters names differently than they were in the show, was, in my opinion, a dumb and presumptuous move. That'd be like deciding Hermione (Her-my-owe-knee) should now be pronounced as Her-mee-own. Or Harry is now Hah-rry. I mean, what the hell?
Next: The dialogue. Was. TERRIBLE. M. Night, you probably should have a real writer help you with this one. I commend him for writing the actual screenplay – I'm sure it shows his dedication to the series and wanting it to be as close as possible, but ugh! Voice over? Please. Expositional dialogue? Over it. The lack of goofy-ness in Sokka? The lack of 12 year old childishness in Aang? Help your fans out here, M. Night. Those qualities are part of what made the show and you've left them out completely.
Lastly: Casting. Not everyone – in fact, I thought the girl who played Katara was actually really good and Dev Patel as Zuko was intense and spot on. But the girl playing Princess Yue, or Seychelle Gabriel made me want to gag.
They seriously could not find someone better? Why? I'm sure they had many girls lining up to be cast in this film, and this is the one they picked? They could have done so much better but they bombed that one. And honestly, I didn't have a real issue with Jackson Rathbone as Sokka, despite my utter hatred for Twilight, but he was kind of just…there. Not all of that is his fault – as I said before, M.Night's dialogue wasn't really conducive to interesting acting. I think he had one funny moment and the rest was…yawn. Which distressed me because Sokka is such a lively, funny character on the show.
So there you have it. The Last Airbender. If you're a fan of the show, I would honestly wait for this one on DVD. And if you have to see it in theaters, see it for the sweet Bending and for Dev Patel. Ignore Princess Yue – not like she's very interesting anyway.

Cardio Workout
For My Grandparents
Cardio Workout For My Grandparents
How It Works
"This water workout burns tons of calories but feels like play," says Greg Moe, a master trainer for Rough-Fit outdoor fitness programs in Tustin, California, who created these insanely trimming moves (just see what they do for your abs!) exclusively for FITNESS. Simply treading water vigorously can zap 11 calories a minute, same as a six-mile-per-hour run. "Plus, water's continuous resistance forces you to engage more muscle fibers through a larger range of motion," says Moe, so you'll firm from every angle.
Perform as many reps of each exercise as you can in 30 seconds, rest, then repeat. (As you get fitter, aim for 45 to 60 seconds.) Do thisworkout on nonconsecutive days and emerge with a body to dive for!

The Broad Exchange, an action-driven network of women in the creative industries, is stepping up to inspire women to harness their talents to affect change on issues they're most passionate about in a new video, "#IRESOLVE," launched in conjunction with International Women's Day. Their powerful short film peers in on the dynamic interchange and dialogue at the heart of The Broad Exchange, with female leaders from the creative and communications industries coming together to leverage their immediately accessible skills, positions and experience to create positive impact. In the wake of a year of extreme polarization, these women are taking responsibility for being a part of the change that they want to see in the world.
The video aims to spark a movement, bringing more women into the fold to make a difference through their talents across pressing issues that matter most to them, spanning gender equality, immigration, gun control, at-risk youth, racism and more. Beyond the specific issues they hope to tackle, they want to establish an open stream of communication, to create constructive and honest dialogues that can help lay the groundwork for the unique brand of creative problem solving that can only stem from professional creative and communications talent.
Following the momentum of the #MeToo and related movements, The Broad Exchange founders Jen Hays, Ashley Davidson and Tamara Rothschild aim to take a positive and action-driven approach with the network, challenging the constructs of what individuals consider to be "women's issues" and rallying the power behind this recent awakening to make an even broader impact. Embracing inclusivity and diversity, the network aims to inspire individuals to step into leadership roles and take action, leveraging their creativity and resources to help give a voice and vision to underserved demographics.
Notes Hays, "We want people to be aware that there is a methodology available to them to change issues that are bothersome to them and it doesn't have to look like the approaches that they see others taking. We have the power and resources to come together to form honest and constructive conversations and ultimately create a positive impact."
"It doesn't have to be overwhelming," adds Davidson. "Part of our goal is to come together to envision small steps that are immediately manageable for individuals, but that can add up to big change."

Narrating a Visual Story
For the last assignment this class had, covering an event was not something I was concerned about. I had previously done so for the South End as well as my high school's newspaper, but using audio as well is something I had not had to do before. While using programs such as Audacity or Adobe Premiere were not difficult, it did require a bit more work to be able to tune the finished product to a passable post.
Interviewing for the audio portion proved to be almost no major concern. Having already taken News Reporting and having done previous event coverage for the South End, I did not encounter issues with keeping the questions going well, but there was an issue with recording audio. I found that my audio became corrupted shortly before finishing the video so I had planned to do a follow-up interview with the person who I had spoken to at the event. After reviewing this with my professor she suggested I instead do a voice-over, which was an intriguing way to circumvent the issue.
Voicing over an event was somewhat difficult to do for a multitude of reasons, primarily being that I had to talk over what I was able to see at the event. Due to this, there was potential for missing details that others may have seen differently.
Capturing photos to tell a story with was honestly quite a fun experience, I enjoyed wandering about and exploring what the event had to hold. I had attended previous times but this was the first time that I had free reign over where I wished to be and when. Many of the people attending the event were more than willing to answer questions for captions or to gather general information about what people were there for and what they hoped to see.
