Veteran striker Kevin Phillips came off the bench to score a superb extra-time penalty as Crystal Palace returned to the English Premier League with a 1-0 win over Watford in the Championship playoff final at Wembley in London on Monday.
Phillips, 39, struck midway through extra-time on a sun-splashed day at Wembley Stadium, after Manchester United-bound winger Wilfried Zaha had drawn a tired foul from Watford rightback Marco Cassetti.
The Championship playoff final is said to be the richest game in world soccer and promotion to the English elite will reportedly swell Palace's revenue by up to £120 million (US$181 million).
"We're in the Premier League now, so God help us," said Palace manager Ian Holloway, who was appearing in his third playoff final in four years. "It's absolutely massive for the club and I'm delighted for everyone connected. I feel very privileged."
Palace last played in the Premier League in 2004-2005, the last of four single-season stints in the top flight, and they join Cardiff City and Hull City in graduating from the Championship this season.
Phillips, who began his professional career at Watford, said he is yet to decide whether or not to play on next season.
"To come on and get the winning goal against the club where it all started is a fairytale," said the on-loan Blackpool striker, who had tasted defeat in three previous playoff finals. "If that is my last game, what a way to sign off. I'm going to have a break now. Every bit of my body is aching. I'll see what the future brings."
Zaha was a torment to the Watford defense throughout a scrappy game and will now link up with United, in a move that could be worth up to £15 million, having fulfilled his ambition of guiding Palace to promotion.
"I'm exhausted and speechless. It's a dream come true," Zaha said. "This is all I wanted, leaving Palace knowing they are in the Premier League."
Watford manager Gianfranco Zola, the former Chelsea star, was gracious in defeat.
"It has been a great season for us, as we have done something not many people expected," Zola said. "Games like this are very much on the day and the better team was Crystal Palace."
A crowd of 82,025 turned out for the final game of the English season, with Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho among those in attendance, fueling speculation that his return to Chelsea is now only a matter of time.
In a cautious first half, Zaha was the electrifying star turn.
He produced three dazzling runs down the right flank, the last of which culminated in a cut-back for Owen Garvan, whose shot was blocked.
By that stage Palace had already lost Kagisho Dikgacoi to an apparent calf injury, with Stuart O'Keefe coming on in his place.
It was not until the 57th minute that Watford substitute Alex Geijo produced the first shot on target, but as the game wore on Palace began to turn the screw and Watford goalkeeper Manuel Almunia was called upon with steadily increasing frequency.
The former Arsenal player thwarted Palace on five occasions in the closing stages, saving from O'Keefe, Garvan and Aaron Wilbraham twice, before plunging to his left to grasp a Mile Jedinak header in stoppage-time.
Watford made the more enterprising start to extra-time, Palace goalkeeper Julian Speroni superbly swatting the ball away from Troy Deeney, before Almunia's resistance finally gave way.

• Hard joint and soft joint
• Angle limit
Clamping force - Compressive force that the bolt exerts on the joint materials, also called clampload
Preload - Tension force that is generated in the bolt
Axial load - Applied force in the same direction as the axis of the bolts
Transverse load - Applied force to the joint that is perpendicular to the bolts
Friction - Resistant force to materials moving against each other
Torque - Resistant force to materials moving against each other
Prevailing torque - The amount of torque required to run down a screw or bolt, typically associated with a lock-nut or thread forming screw
Residual torque - The amount of torque remaining in the joint after tightening
Static breakaway torque - The amount of torque remaining in the joint after tightening
Relaxation - A loss of clampload in a joint after tightening
Embedment - A cause of relaxation attributed to high surface pressure in hard surfaces, most apparent in hard joint with multiple hard layers Relaxation associated with embedment typically stabilizes quickly (less than 0.2 seconds)
Creep - A cause of relaxation attributed to soft materials under high pressure that slowly flow material away from the joint. Can take longer periods of time than embedment losses
Stress - Force per unit area e.g. Newtons per square millimeter or pounds per square inch
Strain - Change in length compared to original length
Elastic area - The region of the angle-torque curve in which the material returns to the undeformed state when applied forces are removed
Plastic area - The area in which the material deforms permanently
Yield point - The point separating the elastic from the plastic area
Snug - The point at which the components of a bolted joint are contacted together and torque starts to build
Hard joint - The plates and material between the nut and bolt bearing surfaces have a high stiffness. Usually defined as hard if the bolt is tightened to its full torque and it rotates through an angle of 30 degrees or less after it has been tightened to snug
Soft joint - The plates and material between the nut and bolt bearing surfaces have a low stiffness. This usually has to be tightened by two or more complete turns, after it has been torqued to snug

Peter King's contract is set to expire in a few weeks, but he's staying at SI. A source tells us that King has signed a deal for at least five years at the weekly magazine. An announcement is expected to go out tonight. There were rumors that King was being chased by NBC Sports and ESPN, and he left it an open question about what he planned to do. It cost SI a bit too: His salary is apparently going up.

Sorry, put this in the wrong forum section(my first time on the forums) and I couldn't figure out how to delete the one I put in the file IO section. But anyway, my problem:
I'm writing some code to take from pictures on my local computer and pushing them up to a hostgator account using JSCH and SSH. My code works to an extent, but after successfully putting up roughly 10 images, I start getting an exception for each attempt after the 10; com.jcraft.jsch.JSchException: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect
I am very new to JSCH and basically just rewrote some example code that was provided by JSCH. The fact that it works for the first few images makes me believe it may be something on hostgator's end, but if anyone has any other ideas I'll gladly listen.
The following is the method I call to move each image up to hostgator. I figure I may be making a mistake by creating a session each time I send an image, but I was just working with the example code as best as I could to keep things simple.
So if anyone has any previous experience with something like this or can offer advice in the right direction, I'll take whatever I can get. Thanks in advance
public static void movePicture(String localName, String remoteName) { FileInputStream fis=null; try { String lfile= localName; String user="xxxx"; String host="xx.xx.xx.xx"; String rfile=remoteName; String password = "xxxxxxx"; JSch jsch=new JSch(); Session session=jsch.getSession(user, host, 2222); session.setPassword(password); java.util.Properties config = new java.util.Properties(); config.put("StrictHostKeyChecking", "no"); session.setConfig(config); session.connect(); boolean ptimestamp = true; // exec 'scp -t rfile' remotely String command="scp " + (ptimestamp ? "-p" :"") +" -t "+rfile; Channel channel=session.openChannel("exec"); ((ChannelExec)channel).setCommand(command); // get I/O streams for remote scp OutputStream out=channel.getOutputStream(); InputStream in=channel.getInputStream(); channel.connect(); if(checkAck(in)!=0){ System.exit(0); } File _lfile = new File(lfile); if(ptimestamp) { command="T "+(_lfile.lastModified()/1000)+" 0"; // The access time should be sent here, // but it is not accessible with JavaAPI ;-< command+=(" "+(_lfile.lastModified()/1000)+" 0\n"); out.write(command.getBytes()); out.flush(); if(checkAck(in)!=0) System.exit(0); } // send "C0644 filesize filename", where filename should not include '/' long filesize=_lfile.length(); command="C0644 "+filesize+" "; if(lfile.lastIndexOf('/')>0) command+=lfile.substring(lfile.lastIndexOf('/')+1); else command+=lfile; command+="\n"; out.write(command.getBytes()); out.flush(); if(checkAck(in)!=0) System.exit(0); // send a content of lfile fis=new FileInputStream(lfile); byte[] buf=new byte[1024]; while(true) { int len=fis.read(buf, 0, buf.length); if(len<=0) break; out.write(buf, 0, len); //out.flush(); } fis.close(); fis=null; // send '\0' buf[0]=0; out.write(buf, 0, 1); out.flush(); if(checkAck(in)!=0) System.exit(0); out.close(); channel.disconnect(); session.disconnect(); } catch(Exception e){ System.out.println(e); try{if(fis!=null)fis.close();}catch(Exception ee){} } }

For me
it's always been MSDN keys.... allegedly.
AC for obvious reasons!
Many workers have confessed they would be prepared to swipe data from their ex-employers when they changed jobs. An online poll of 1,594 full and part-time workers and contractors in the US and UK found that around a quarter (29 per cent in the US and 23 per cent in the UK) would steal customer lists and other sensitive data …
I would not consider nicking a stapler because of the risk of losing my reputation is not worth the value of a stapler. A solid gold stapler would have value, but taking one is not a risk - I would expect some to notice when a valueable object goes missing. Taking a copy of data has a much lower risk of getting caught. The down side is the sale: give enough evidence to show it is genuine and you also give enough evidence to be blackmailed. I have had some good opportunities for crime, but I can earn more more easily being honest.
viewed potential hires who offered this kind of information with distrust. If they stole from their previous employer, they would do the same to us. It's like the NDA thing, the incoming person can poison your ability to do business and may embroil you in costly lawsuits. I can think of three people we did not hire who brought exactly what was deserved on the companies who turned a blind eye to the dishonesty and employed them.
I imagine a lot of people are tempted to take the data they created - after all they probably feel a sense of ownership over something they created, even if they're wrong.
When I left my last job I copied the source code to the application I (wholly) wrote for them, thinking of it as my baby, as well as all the things I learnt that I may need to look up in my new employ. I've never once referred back to that code since then, making the effort somewhat wasted.
But even tho I created that app, I really know I shouldn't have taken the code. It might have been my "baby", but I put it up for adoption the moment I signed my contract of employment.
It's not something i'd bother doing again - tho ironically not because its wrong, but because it was a complete waste of time in the end!
Having managed purchasing stationary for a medium sized company (~150 employees) I can definitively state from personal experience that the number of people prepared to take pens, post it's etc. home with them day to day is more than that. When people leave jobs? Forget it. I always had to order new stationary for a new starter, even if there theoretically was a full set from the departing staff member.
I used to work for a credit card company (one that no longer exists, however I'm still staying anonymous). We used to get regular reports of shady characters approaching our staff as they left work, offering money in return for customers' card details.
The call centre staff weren't exactly hugely paid, so it was no surprise that every now and then one would get caught giving in to temptation. We tended to find out about it when our IT department were asked by the internal fraud team for details of accounts that a specific person had accessed. This was usually followed by summary dismissal of that person and the involvement of the local constabulary.
What surprised me was not that it happened, but that it didn't happen more often - it would have been a piece of piss to get hold of data and smuggle it out.
Given that management is well known for saying one thing and doing another, and tells many many porkies (you can't have any pay rises or perks as due to the economy we are making very little profit and we are seeing far fewer orders than normal... followed *weeks* later by a new extension, old computers replaced with shiny new ones, a new round of laptops for people that are paid rather more than me and seem to do little other than Powerpoint and Solitaire, plus numerous other things), yeah, I could understand stuff walking out the door. Forget about morals, the word you want is "morale", and there isn't any.
For me, personally, I would absolutely peek at merger/salary plans if they were stupid enough to leave that sort of thing around, if only to get a heads up on whether or not to start printing off my CV.
Sadly the only things they leave scattered around (and not shredded) are confidential R&D documents, and I don't give a crap about any of that. Neither, apparently, do they, for I've seen a stack of papers marked "confidential" with an actual big red stamp, piled face down, so we can use the back of the sheet as "scrap paper". WTF? Are they so tight/stupid this seems like a good idea? Other delights of so-called scrap paper - records of the daily who-clocked-in-when, and also stuff like who gets state work benefits (leaking name, address, SSN, and other stuff).
AC, because all my stats are printed out on the third sheet down on the left.

Could well be a plant, to see which office the gossip is emerging from.
When I was a sweet, pure, innocent young graduate looking for a job, the careers people warned us not to put too much hope in anonymous agency job ads, since "our client" could well be a firm checking up on which members of staff might be seeking alternative employment.
My coat never was, how can I get it?
"Could well be a plant, to see which office the gossip is emerging from."
Good point, but it would assume that I would see the hot juicy details and go blab to all. Not a chance! The more people I tell, the less beneficial it is to know. So I keep mouth shut and reink the printer..
"The survey, commissioned by identity management firm SailPoint, and run by Harrison interactive, found mixed opinions about whether or not the recession has increased the temptation for workers to steal. Around 45 per cent of US respondents and a similar 48 per cent in the UK reckoned economic hard times have had no effect."
Does that mean 55% (52%) of people are now more likely to thieve from work and stick it on eBay?
If I take a stapler, I am depriving the company of the stapler. It's probably theft.
If I take a copy of some data, the company loses nothing. It's definitely not theft.
I would prefer it if people did distinguish these two things because they're very different.
I have taken data away with me from a previous job, but I never misused it for anything, and I never misused any of the confidential information in my head, either.
you say that if you copy the data the company looses nothing. This is wrong. It looses exclusivity on that data. It belonged to that company and you had no right to copy it. The losses come from what you are going to do with that data. And by the way the law makes no difference between stealing tangible goods and intangible goods like software or data. I'd really like to see how you explain a judge that you copying some credit card details is not theft.
> copying data without permission is theft in the eyes of the law
No it isn't. Well, not in England anyway. The law makes a clear difference between stealing tangible goods and copying confidential information. See for example Oxford v Moss '79
Copying credit card details is not theft. It is, however, likely to be fraud if those details are ever dishonestly used.
Employment contracts can be used to define various aspects of employment including copyright and patent ownership/recognition.
Sales people can be a sticky one. Often a sales position remuneration recognises customer names brought with the incoming sales person. Whose property was it before being introduced, whose property y is it whilst the sales person is employed and. most importantly, who retains it/uses it on separation?
I have designed printed circuits and they are like giving birth and I always retain copies, simply because I designed them. I also built a very simple main-frame printer tester, on my own time and at my own expense. There were two copies: one was mine and the I built for an after market repair facility owned by a friend. When I left, the employer tried to acquire it only there were no schematics and the integrated circuit identities were destroyed by the epoxy I moulded the tester in.
I also worked for a credit card transaction terminal manufacturer and they tried to get a non-disclosure agreement signed after I had resigned.
All these situations could have been easily defined in an employment agreements which are, a little, like prenuptial agreements.
I worked for a company that poached a fairly senior manager - he brought with him quite a lot of data about what his previous company were planning to do - worth a lot of cash for the info, and I know exactly how much the guy was paid because I saw the specific details (6 figures).
Around 3 months later he disappeared (he had left to go to another competitor) and had taken a load of our data with him. It appeared he did this a couple more times - he could then afford to take early retirement, and the last I heard, was living out in the Costas.
The MD was pretty upset and demanded that I do something to prevent it happening again. He didn't take it too kindly when I pointed out that he had encouraged the guy to come to us in the first place and knew full well what was going on and if he didn't think it would happen to him, he was pretty naive.
I'm not there any more, but AC for my own protection in the future.
They go from one company to another teaching them how to do some particular task, like set up a phone network, for example. They might call themselves experts teaching "best practice" but what they're really doing is taking knowledge from one company to another and getting paid by both of them.
"If I take a stapler, I am depriving the company of the stapler. It's probably theft.
If I take a copy of some data, the company loses nothing. It's definitely not theft."
Oh but it can be. If the company spends two years work on obtaining, collating, calculating or otherwise collecting that data (intellectual property) and you either hand it out to a competitor, (or they get the data via other means), you've saved the competitor two years worth of work.
This also means the company where the data originated, now has lost any lead they had compared to their competitors. The market might start buying from the competitors, rather than the origin.
Putting a number on this can vary widely, depending on circumstances and who you're dealing with, this could translate to millions. Or it might go no-where. Either way, I assure you, if you get caught, you will NOT be the one making the determination that it cost no-one anything.
Personally, all the bits and bytes in the world can't staple my pages together, so, in my case, thanks, I'll just take the stapler.

Formula Drift announced today that Tanner Foust would be retiring from the drifting circuit after a race in Abu Dhabi later this month. The reasons? A full plate of other work, including television. More Top Gear USA, anyone?
In a statement, Foust said he didn't leave the sport that made him famous easily, and suggested it was a temporary split:
"This was a hard choice to make, but with my schedule looking even busier than last year's I will not be able to fully commit to the 2011 Formula DRIFT season."
Formula Drift said that schedule includes "European Rally events, X-Games and television responsibilities." There hasn't been any official green light for a second season of Top Gear USA yet, but its doubtful Foust would clear his schedule without some promises. Hopefully, it's not just more Supercars: Exposed.

Group says Myanmar army uses rape as weapon of war
The Jakarta Post
Yangon, Myanmar
Jakarta / Wed, January 15, 2014 / 03:33 pm
A soldier in full uniform saw the 7-year-old in her front yard soon after her parents left to tend to their rice paddies in Myanmar's restive state of Shan. She said he ordered her inside the family's bamboo hut.
"He hit me and told me to take off my clothes," the girl told the tightly packed courtroom in a whisper, as her alleged assailant, Maung Win Htwe, looked on, stone-faced.
"Then ... he raped me."
Rights activists in Myanmar, also known as Burma, say the army continues to use rape as a weapon of war nearly three years after President Thein Sein's nominally civilian government ended a half-century of brutal military rule. On Tuesday, the Women's League of Burma released a report documenting more than 100 rapes, almost all in townships plagued by stubborn ethnic insurgencies.
Nearly half were brutal gang rapes, several of the victims were children, and 28 of the women were killed or died from their injuries, said Tin Tin Nyo, the league's general secretary. She warned that there is little hope for change until the government amends Myanmar's constitution, which gives the military the right to independently administer all its affairs.
Ye Htut, the government's top spokesman, did not respond to phone, email and Facebook messages seeking comment.
The report said most of the attacks occurred in border areas, particularly in the states of Shan, where the 7-year-old lives, and Kachin. Perpetrators are rarely, if ever, punished.
Though it handed over formal control of the country, the army continues to heavily influence almost all facets of government, and holds a quarter of all seats in parliament.
Few prominent officials have criticized the military over sexual violence ' not even opposition leader and Nobel Peace laureate Aung San Suu Kyi, who spent more than 15 years under house arrest under the former ruling junta.
Last month, at a press conference in the main city of Yangon, Suu Kyi was asked if she was concerned about the lack of accountability when it comes to the use of rape as a weapon of war. Instead of criticizing generals, she pointed out that insurgent groups also are responsible for sexual violence.
"This has to do with rule of law. And that has to do with politics, and the position of the army as it is in a particular political structure," she said. "I think you are well aware of the fact that military armed groups which are not official armies also engage in sexual violence in conditions of conflict."
Suu Kyi wants to run for president in next year's elections, but the army has the power to block those ambitions, and she's showing increasing reluctance to criticize.
Tin Tin Nyo said the cases her group was able to document are "just the tip of the iceberg." She said the information gathered for the report comes almost exclusively from victims or witnesses dared to speak out, and that researchers were unable to reach some areas because of security concerns.
The league's report, compiled by 12 member organizations spread across the country, said in most cases attacks were carried out by soldiers who were carrying weapons and dressed in uniform. They included officers ' such as captains, commanders and majors ' and at least one major general.
Many of the rapes were carried out in front of the woman's husband or others, seemingly as a way to make communities too fearful to support ethnic militias.
"These crimes are more than random, isolated acts by rogue soldiers," the report's authors wrote. "Their widespread and systematic nature indicates a structural pattern: Rape is still used as an instrument of war and oppression."
The government sees on-and-off conflicts along northern and eastern borders, where armed ethnic groups have long battled for greater autonomy, as one of the biggest obstacles to a planned nationwide cease-fire agreement. The region is home to several strategic development projects, including a gas pipeline that stretches to China's Yunnan province.
The report said most cases never make it to court, and those that come before military tribunals usually result in immediate acquittals.
The alleged Nov. 11 attack on the 7-year-old is an exception. The soldier accused of raping her, Maung Win Htwe, was ordered to go to trial in a civilian court.
Lawyer Brang Di said the first witnesses appeared at Lashio District Court last week, including the girl, her parents and neighbors in a tiny Shan village near Thein Ni town.
Brang Di said authorities agreed to try Maung Win Htwe in a civilian court only after a loud public outcry. "We are trying our best to have a fair judgment," he said.

The African Children's Choir will perform at Hope College in Dimnent Memorial Chapel on Friday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m.
The African Children's Choir will perform at Hope College in Dimnent Memorial Chapel on Friday, Sept. 18, at 7 p.m.
The public is invited. Admission is free, although a freewill offering will be taken.
The African Children's Choir is made up of children ages seven to 12 from several African nations. Since its inception, the choir has included children from Uganda, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana. Many of the children have lost one or both parents to AIDS and other poverty-related diseases, and all of them are victims of extreme poverty.
The first choir was formed in 1984, selected from orphaned and vulnerable children in the Kampala and Luwero areas of Uganda. After the choir was trained to perform and readied for living in new and different cultures, the children traveled from Uganda to tour among the North American church communities.
The choir serves as the main fundraising branch for its parent organization, Music For Life Institute, with proceeds from the choir's work used to fund education and relief efforts for African children affected by poverty and disease. More than 7,000 children in several African nations are currently being supported through the program. The proceeds of the first African Children's Choir tour also funded the building of an orphanage in Kampala from which a second African Children's Choir was selected.
The choir has recorded songs for the soundtracks of major motion pictures, including Oprah Winfrey's "Beloved," "Hotel Rwanda" and "Blood Diamond," and has appeared on several nationally televised shows.
To date, more than 700 children have been through the choir program, and the funds they have generated have provided the opportunity of education and hope for many thousands like them in some of the most desperate and needy areas of Africa.
The HopeCollege performance is being sponsored by the Hope College International Relations Club, and the offices of international education and multicultural education.
Dimnent Memorial Chapel is located at 277 College Ave., on the corner of College and 12th Street.

I'll forever remember Gene Wilder in the 1979 movie "The Frisco Kid." He plays a Polish rabbi newly arrived in America in the days of the Wild West. In the first scene, he sees some Mennonite farmers dressed as he is, in black hats, and, overjoyed and relieved, he mistakenly calls out: "Landsman!" The grown-ups laughed over this line, so I did too. But I also understood this Hollywood movie in its great wisdom to be offering up a parable. The rabbi calling out "Landsman" in a strange land was the Jewish people. Just like good and gentle Wilder in "The Frisco Kid," we wandered the terrible Wild West alone and vulnerable, like a lost porcupine without a full complement of quills — armed not with a gun, but with a precious family album called a Torah. The uncomprehending strangers who robbed and abused us thought it comic that we prized this weird, worthless scroll and rudely discarded it, after which we'd patiently retrieve it and lovingly brush the dust from the red velvet mantle that covered our ancestral memories.
It's perhaps stating the obvious to say that the "Landsman!" scene reflects Jews' self-conception not as an ethnicity or a religion, but as an extended family. This historic sense begins, of course, with the pictures of embattled Jewish families in the Bible. These have spoken to millennia of Jews in exilic lands, up to David Ben-Gurion and beyond. The embrace of this extended family is one of the loveliest, comfiest, most rewarding aspects of the heritage; however, it's also a complicating factor in Jewish politics. To observe this, you need look no further than my own family.
The Ratner family immigrated to Cleveland from Poland around 1920 and established a lumber company, and eventually a real estate development business, called "Forest City," after an old nickname for Cleveland. The tight-knit family has been devoted to Cleveland causes and institutions ever since. I would hazard a guess that the majority of Ratners, like the majority of Jews, are also liberals. Close relatives work for President Obama and fundraise for the Democrats. Josh Mandel, however, who married my second cousin, is the Republican Ohio state treasurer, recently seen on the campaign trail alongside Mitt Romney. He's currently running for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Sherrod Brown in a race that's drawn almost $20 million from such Republican interest groups as Karl Rove's Crossroads GPS. I asked my aunt, Deborah B. Ratner, a major Brown supporter and Democratic fundraiser, if it made for any uncomfortable moments at family gatherings. "Look," she explained to Mandel recently, "I don't want this to be awkward, but you represent everything I've spent my life working against."
Not everyone in the family feels the same, or will admit that he or she does. I know of Democrat relatives who have supported Mandel's campaign out of family loyalty — a loyalty that is no mean thing. It's at the heart of the biblical Jewish identity, and, more proximally, it's the lineal mortar that bound a generation of immigrant Ratners from Bialystok, Poland, into a prosperous family business and binds together the generations here in America.
Because Jews tend to want to think of themselves as a family, I'm convinced that many feel inclined to vote for Jews or perceived Jewish interests in the reflexive way that one might support the endeavors of a brother or sister. This is especially so where Israel is concerned. The feeling is that allegiance to the Jewish family, and hence to Israel — which Ben-Gurion once described to Shimon Peres as exactly that, a family — takes precedence over all other concerns. The feeling is that we hang together or we'll all hang separately.
Some people automatically assume that Mandel is better for Israel because he is Jewish even though, in my aunt's words, "Josh's politics could not be more anathema to the core values of the Jews" — and even though Brown co-sponsored the United States Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012. (Obama signed it into law this past summer.) Other Jews, she speculates, may silently disagree with right-wing friends and relatives, but they don't speak up, either because they fear confrontation or despair of changing anybody's mind.
Yet a feeling of love for the "Jewish family," with all its decisive emotional clarity does not imply any one particular rational course of action. I love my kids, so does that mean I should never chastise or contradict them? Furthermore, if I am lost in the woods with my kids, does my love for them dictate which path I take next? I suspect that some Jews mistake the clarity and decisiveness of their feelings on one hand for a conviction about what to do on the other. This lack of introspection, I would argue, is the real betrayal of Jewish identity, because it's frankly unintelligent.
I feel the strong pull of familial loyalty, but I have concluded that where politics is concerned, unexamined loyalty feelings are a recipe for clouded judgment. Feelings of familial loyalty translate into Manichean "us versus them" views of the world. While the Manichean view satisfies our absolutist feelings about what should be, it can also obscure our perceptions of a complex reality.
Think of the old blood libel legends about the Jews. Pre-Enlightenment Europe thought in the irrational, emotional terms of "us versus them" loyalty also. As purported interlopers disloyal to the "family" of France or England or Germany or Spain or Russia, we, the Jews, were not "us" but "them." This feeling in gentile Europe, combined with a widespread failure to think critically, led to credulous agreement that Jews were baby-devouring cannibals, like the mythical Cyclops.
The antidote to anti-Semitism, like that to the anarchy of feudal wars and crusades, was the advance of toleration and reason, and the retreat of passions from the sphere of public knowledge and government — what Immanuel Kant called the Enlightenment. When the feudal mythos receded, the Jews finally had an opportunity to show the world what they could do, and show they did, with the magnificent efflorescence of Jewish achievement that has been ongoing for at least 150 years.
The victory of passions in the public sphere — especially the passion that superimposes simplistic codes of family loyalty onto complex realities — leads deeper into the darkness, not forward into the light. Jews have identified with liberalism because, I'd suggest, it's much more closely aligned with the Enlightenment values that protect them and under whose aegis they've achieved so much: values of toleration, equality, rational discourse, science. Conservatism, with its suspicion of scientific progress, and its naïve permissiveness toward patriotic feeling in place of critical thinking, generally leans backward against the current of enlightenment.
Of course, no political party, including the Democrats, can rightly lay claim to the ideal of liberalism or enlightenment when it puts party loyalty before rationality and practicality, and the Democrats and Republicans seem so mutually invested in wasting the people's time and money in petty squabbles that one wonders if we ought to excise the bicameral system altogether as an unenlightened lesion on our democracy.
Until that time, however, your choice between Republican and Democrat matters. Brown is a liberal, Mandel is a conservative who overindulges emotion in the public sphere and who continues to speak in the primitive terms of "us versus them." Brown is, by my estimation, more nearly a Jew in the politically meaningful sense of the word: a Jew as a highly evolved practitioner of enlightened values. Mandel, by his own design, is closer to Bush and to Sarah Palin. According to Politifact.com and Cleveland's The Plain Dealer, Mandel has distinguished himself as a particularly incorrigible propagandist in a profession where lies are common currency. He has, for example, sidled right up to Palin's "death-panels" lie. Forgoing the values of the Enlightenment, as more and more Republicans have done in recent years, with increasing zeal, is not without its drawbacks for your reputation.
The Jewish people of the enlightened era, from Albert Einstein to Louis Brandeis, have contributed so much to the Jewish family and to the human family through the use of their intellects. Reversing this relationship by making family feeling the engine of insight, falls outside that enlightened Jewish identity. But if that's your thing and you're looking for a family to which you're better suited, there's always the Tea Party.
Austin Ratner is author of the novels "In the Land of the Living," forthcoming from Reagan Arthur/Little Brown in March 2013, and "The Jump Artist" (Bellevue Literary Press. 2009), winner of the 2011 Sami Rohr Prize for Jewish Literature.

Yesterday was a fun day for me. Cal came over late afternoon, and he accompanied me to the gym before heading back to my place to help me make dinner. He grilled steak for fajitas and I chopped and sauteed vegetables. And we even made salsa with my KitchenAid blender. Have I ever mentioned that I love fresh cilantro? It's true. Our dinner was amazing, and I was so ready to eat it that I forgot to take a picture…Can you believe that? 😉
After dinner we watched the Presidential debate on Bloomberg (which is so much fun when I can watch with someone who understands what's going on in my head!) But I have to admit that I was pretty self-conscious before that (when we arrived at the gym.) He's never really seen me sweat (apart from a slight glisten when we took a walk near the Mississippi River) until yesterday, but it's a big part of who I am so I didn't hold back. I tore up the elliptical for a few minutes before working my upper body, and I felt great at the end.
My workouts have been pretty solid since I joined Anytime Fitness. And while I know I'll experience a gain on the scale this week (after how I ate last week when Uncle W was in the hospital,) I'm still pleased with the direction I'm moving in now. And I know that the scale will start reflecting my efforts soon. I've been killing it at the gym this week, but I worry that I may not be making the most of my time at the gym. I did managed to climb the height of the Empire State Building 2.89 times before hitting the weights. (Thanks for calculating it Ron and for pointing it out, Anne!)
I'm trying to get comfortable with the weight machines at my new gym, and while I have pretty good form, I am trying to utilize machines that I haven't used up this point. And now that I'm comfortable with how, I really need to know how much. I'd like to hire a trainer soon, but I'm not sure where to start with that so I've been taking notes and using google to figure out what I should be doing. I've also been keeping a journal of my workouts. (Yes, I carry a little notebook to the gym so I can remember what I did.) I write in it after every set. But there's no rhyme or reason to my weight training, and I need to change that. I've been feeling sore over the last few days, but not overly sore so I wonder if I'm doing too much or not enough. I really don't know. If you click on the picture below, you'll see that I'm putting in effort. But you'll also see that I'm making it up as I go along.
Richard Simmons, while famous for his cardio workouts, teaches the importance of weight training in his classes. Did you know that he makes toning videos too? He ends every class with weight training and floor exercises, And though I'm not at Slimmons every week anymore, I strive to do the kind of workouts that would make Richard proud. And it's important to me to make the most out of the time I spend at the gym so it's my goal to make a better plan.
I'm doing my best right now, but if anyone has advice to offer, I'm willing to listen. Until then, I'll just keep doing what I think is right and hoping that I can start seeing the reflection of my efforts on the scale and in the mirror. Is weight training part of your routine? Are you nervous to try it because you're not sure where to start? Do you have any advice to offer yours truly? 🙂

Cruise Holidays of Lakeville
(888) 506-5060
In 2007, Royal Caribbean International launched the 3,600-passenger Liberty of the Seas, sister ship to the cruise line's popular Freedom of the Seas -- the two ships then shared the title of "World's Largest Cruise Ship." (The title of "world's largest" shifted to Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas in late 2009.)
Like its sister ship, Liberty of the Seas has spectacular amenities that appeal to guests who enjoy a touch of adventure. For example, Liberty of the Seas passengers can surf on board using the ship's FlowRider® simulator; relax in cantilevered whirlpools suspended far above the ocean; and test their prowess on one of Royal Caribbean's signature climbing walls. The excitement continues with Liberty of the Seas' H2O Zone water park, ice-skating rink and boxing ring.
With so many things to do, the ship appeals to passengers of all ages and tastes. Liberty of the Seas passengers can enjoy musical productions in the ship's five-story Arcadia Theater; peruse fine art in the onboard art gallery; and check out the bars and shops that line the Centrum and the Royal Promenade.
Guests who enjoy elegant dining will appreciate the three-tiered dining rooms. The ship also has specialty restaurants like Portofino, which features Italian cuisine; Chops Grille, an upscale steak house; and Johnny Rockets, a '50s-style diner. Guests who want a quick snack or to linger over refreshments can choose from an English pub, a wine bar, ice cream stands, a juice bar and a pizzeria.
Lest passengers gain an unwanted pound, the ship's pools, fitness center, spa, sports court, miniature golf course and jogging track provide plenty of opportunities to stay active. The Adventure Ocean play area is specially designed for energetic kids, while teens can dance the night away at Fuel, a teens-only club.
Nighttime entertainment for adults includes live music and dancing at the Pharaoh's Palace, fun and games at Casino Royale, and dancing to Latin rhythms at Boleros.
To make your reservation on Liberty of the Seas, contact Cruise Holidays.

Entrants to Light Shots, the AJ's film contest in partnership with Philips, have a few more days to finish their films
The AJ and Philips have teamed up to launch Light Shots, a short film competition with a first prize of £500. Architects and architecture students are invited to submit a short video film (60 seconds or under) on the theme of light, exploring the impact of artificial light on the places in which we live.
Film has a long history of exploring cities and the impact of light on the built environment. In the compressed timespan the short film offers, entrants are challenged to investigate an aspect of how we live and how light shapes us and our environments.
How to apply
- Shorts should be uploaded, and forms completed by midnight MAY 3, 2013
- The competition entries can be created in any format (Super-8, 16/35mm, video, animation) but must be uploaded as a digital file in any of the following file formats: .MOV, .MPEG4, .MVI, . WMV, .MPEGPS, .FLV, 3GPP and WebM
- Submissions must not exceed 60 seconds in length. There is no minimum length requirement
- Entries can be silent or with sound
- The filmmakers name and title of the work must be clearly displayed at the beginning of each submission
The film can be set in a city, town or village, either outside or in an interior space. It should stimulate, entertain and delight and can be shot at night or during the day. It can be in digital format, or on Super 8, a stop-frame animation, a time-lapse or any other means of capturing a moment in time, but no longer than 60 seconds.
Prizes include £500 cash, a trip to Philips' Outdoor Lighting Application Center near Lyon, a Philips Hue lighting system and subscriptions to The Architects' Journal and Architectural Review. Shortlisted films will be available to view on the AJ website and shown at a screening in Central London.
The deadline for entries is Midnight 3 MAY.
Be inspired: Films in the spotlight
William Klein, Broadway By Light, 1958
Orson Welles declared that Broadway by Light (main picture, left) was 'the first film I've seen in which colour was absolutely necessary'. The camera focuses on the flashing neon bulbs of Times Square's iconic advertising and the silhouettes of men at work as they re-arrange letters on the cinema light boxes.
Jacques Tati, Playtime, 1967
Jacque Tati's 1967 film Playtime (pictured, below left) is an almost silent portrait of Modernist Paris. The film follows the protagonist, Monsieur Hulot, as he navigates the bewildering city. Landmarks of old Paris appear only as fleeting reflections in the new buildings of glass and steel.
Ridley Scott, Blade Runner, 1982
A stylish mixture of science fiction and film noir, director Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (pictured, bottom) boasts one of the most astonishingly designed futures ever put on film – a dark, decaying Los Angeles circa 2019. Artfully shot with bold, imaginative lighting effects and stunning urban scenography, practically every scene should prove inspirational.
DEADLINE EXTENDED: Make 60 second movie, upload to YouTube, win £500

Good evening!
My name is Ecaterina Stefanescu and I have just submitted a film for the Light Shots contest. As I was rushing to upload the video and complete the form for the competition before the deadline, I misspelled by own name in the application form and wrote down "Stefanesci" instead of "Stefanescu". I hope this won't be a problem, my name being featured at the beginning of the film as well.
Thank you!
No Problem Ecaterina, thank you for the clarification. Best James Pallister

DFT BURN is the latest advancement for the THRIVE 8-Week Experience and the Derma Fusion Technology line of products.
Catapulting off the advancements made during the development of DFT DUO, BURN utilizes a special concentration of Forslean 95% extract, which is one of the most clinically-studied ingredients globally for weight loss and weight management. BURN's proprietary formula also utilizes an additional 67% of the amount of bulk ingredients compared to DUO's formula. This huge jump is by far the largest amount of premium grade bulk ingredients with which we've ever coated any DFT application.
BURN has also been formulated to increase appetite management. Note the use of "appetite management" rather than "appetite suppression," as our bodies are intended to, and need to, have food. Many THRIVERS will notice they are actually hungrier while using BURN , which is a sign that their system is "on the move", burning calories and fat. While using BURN and experiencing thermogenesis hunger (a desire to snack in-between meals), if you pick appropriate foods, you'll boost the effect of BURN. Accordingly, moderation with carbohydrates and sugar is critical. If you consume too many carbs and too much sugar, your body will look to the incoming carb and sugar intake for its fuel. When your body has less carbohydrates and sugars, it turns to stored fat and calories to supply the body's energy. BURN is not only intended to help your cravings but, even more so, it's designed to jumpstart and propel you into a state of BURN thermogenesis.The last point to note is that BURN's high grade adhesive has been uniquely engineered specifically for BURN and is different than the adhesives on the other DFT products.
For best results with your weight and appetite management goals, use THRIVE BURN with THRIVE Lifestyle Capsules and THRIVE Lifestyle Shake. Best results are achieved from a moderate approach to your daily intake of carbohydrates and sugars. Proper sleep and weekly exercise are also recommended to achieve maximum thermogenesis from your BURN application. The greatest step forward in weight management is here—welcome to THRIVE BURN.

"Happiness," said the acclaimed movie director Billy Wilder, " is working with Jack Lemmon." For people around the world, happiness is simply seeing a Jack Lemmon film. For five decades Lemmon was one of the hardest-working, best-liked, most-rewarded stars of Hollywood. He was a hit with audiences with his very first film (1954's It Should Happen to You). He won his first Oscar for best supporting actor one year later (Mr. Roberts). With a string of wildly successful comedies, he became a top box office attraction in the '60s. He won a best actor Oscar in 1973 for Save the Tiger, thus becoming the first performer to receive the Academy Award in both categories. By the early '80s he had been nominated a staggering eight times.
This is remarkable longevity for a career equally divided between endearing comedic roles and dramatic portrayals of men who are inadequate, desperate failures. The film critic Judith Crist said: "As Chaplin's clown in his time embodied the commonality of the common man, so Lemmon's everyman has provided the empathetic symbol for the mid-twentieth century man. Whether he's the smooth operator or the schnook, the crafty conniver or the victim thereof; whether he's out for the laughter or tearing at the heart--he's one of us, the all too human people in the middle who get it from top and bottom alike." As such, Lemmon became the clown for our Age of Anxiety. "A prototypical American," the great screenwriter I.A.L. Diamond called him. "When he gets into trouble, people root for him to straighten out because of their tremendous identification with him."
The only child of a president of a doughnut company and a socialite, Lemmon never planned to become an actor. "I always was an actor," Lemmon explained, "so how could I ever decide to become one?"
His acting debut, in fact, came at age four when his father volunteered him for an amateur stage production of Thar's Gold in Them Thar Hills. After his unqualified personal triumph, young Jack got hooked. A number of select New England schools paved the way to Harvard. He was a poor student in most subjects. "The only reason I know French is because I flunked the course so many times that it sunk in by osmosis," Lemmon admited. He did very well, however, in music and dramatics and this talent led to his becoming president of the famous Hasty Pudding Club, acting in drag and writing songs for its annual shows. In '46 he interrupted his education to serve a three-month hitch in the Navy as an ensign aboard the aircraft carrier.
After graduating from Harvard he left for New York City with $300 which he borrowed from his father. While living in a five-dollar-a-week room over a delicatessen, he studied acting with Uta Hagen and played the piano in a beer hall. His first acting break came with a radio soap opera, "The Brighter Day." From there he got jobs in the burgeoning television industry. In three years he notched 500 live shows on such prestigious dramatic programs as "Studio One," "Kraft Theater," and "Robert Montgomery Presents."
With the experience of radio, TV, and some summer stock, Lemmon at long last was ready for Broadway, making his debut in a revival of Room Service. The production was a complete flop, but provided a showcase for Lemmon to be noticed by a number of Hollywood scouts, and by 1953 he was off to Hollywood with a Columbia Pictures contract to star opposite Judy Holliday in It Should Happen to You, directed by George Cukor and written by Garson Kanin. The film was a great success. His second, a Betty Grable musical called Three for the Show, was not. But after two more films, Lemmon played Ensign Pulver to Henry Fonda's Mr. Roberts and became and Academy Award-winning star.
Lemmon's advice to young actors was to work with the most talented people you can, every chance you get. Lemmon applied this wisdom to his own career and worked with some of his favorite collaborators as often as he could. With Billy Wilder he made Some Like It Hot in 1959, The Apartment in 1960, Irma La Douce in 1963, and The Fortune Cookie in 1966. The latter introduced the brilliant Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau partnership which would also be seen in The Odd Couple (1968), and The Front Page (1974) and Buddy, Buddy (1981), both also directed by Wilder. Matthau once described Lemmon as having "quiet hysteria seeping out of every pore," which made him the ideal interpreter of Neil Simon, another ongoing collaboration that began with The Odd Couple and continued with The Out-of-Towners (1970), and The Prisoner of Second Avenue (1975). He also had the good fortune to appear opposite some of the movies' most popular actresses, including Kim Novak (Bell, Book, and Candle and The Notorious Landlady), Janet Leigh (My Sister Eileen), Rita Hayworth (Fire Down Below), Marilyn Monroe (Some Like It Hot), Doris Day (It Happened to Jane), Shirley McLaine (The Apartment and Irma la Douce), Romy Schneider (Good Neighbor Sam), Natalie Wood (The Great Race), Virna Lisi (How to Murder Your Wife), Catherine Deneuve (The April Fools), and Julie Andrews (That's Life). And while he is perhaps most fondly remembered for his roles in romantic comedies and all-out farces, at least four of his outstanding dramatic performances form the cornerstones of his career--The Days of Wine and Roses opposite Lee Remick (1962), his Oscar-winning turn in Save the Tiger (1973), The China Syndrome opposite Jane Fonda and Michael Douglas (1979), and Missing directed by Constantin Costa-Gavras.
"Lemmon is a craftsman, devoted to his acting art, and that, I suspect, explains the surprise with which even Lemmon devotees look back at the varieties of his performances, the risks taken," said Judith Crist. And for audiences happiness is seeing a Jack Lemmon movie because, as the star himself put it: "I have never lost a total passion for my work." And it shows in every movie starring Jack Lemmon.

Despite the limited possibilities under the Tsarist regime, the community activity in Brest was well developed, with the Bund, Poale Zion, and active non-affiliated youth. These non-affiliated young people were attracted to the Zionist circles. There was a Society for the Preservation of the Hebrew Language and Literature, that was dedicated to spreading the Hebrew language both orally and in writing. It had followers who were fanatical in their dedication to this goal.
The young people voluntarily took on the collection of money for the Keren Kayemet at Bar Mitzvahs and weddings, and delivered blue boxes to the homes of the community. Some of them would diligently read the Hebrew press Hasphirah and other newspapers. They were interested in everything that had a link to Israel. They concentrated around the Zionist library and read books and newspapers from Israel, including the Young Worker and Achdut.
Several of these members of the Young Zionists traveled to Israel and their leaving made a deep impression on the other young people who began to think about going to Israel. Several of those who went, eventually returned, as they were not able to overcome the difficulties of settling in Israel.
During the expulsion from Brest in W.W.1, the youth was spread throughout the towns of Russia and wandered with all the homeless some to Poland, some deeper into Russia
B. In 1918-9, most of the homeless returned to Brest and a new wave of community activity began. The Zionist Youth had a very strong influence on the Zionist organization some of them decided to form a branch of the Young Zionists that was directly linked to the central Zionist headquarters in Warsaw. The movement quickly spread throughout Congress Poland and was strengthened by the arrival of Russian refugees, especially in border areas such as Brest. The leaders of the Zionist movement in Brest were not pleased, but under pressure from the growing youth movement the General Zionists were forced to give up their offices at Topolowa 12 to the Young Zionists. They left behind them the spacious hall and rooms, as well as the Techiya School, in the capable hands of the Young Zionists. The Young Zionists initiated compulsory cultural activities with Israel and Zionism as the central theme. They formed a link between the Zionist Brest and the awakening of the national dream of a Jewish State in Israel.
Some of the youth leaned toward the promised magic of the Russian revolution with its deep social reforms. But in truth, the majority of the youth yearned for 'Jewishness' and Jewish independence.
The economy of the whole movement and it's educational activities were founded on the financial assistance from the Joint (American United Relief Committee), in which the Zionists had representation on the board. Especially excelling themselves in their efforts were: Lamazhevski, Svirinowski, outsiders members such as Wertheim, Shneerson, Dr Wertaks and others. In the feverish activity of opening educational and cultural institutions the Young Zionists played a pivotal role. They seized the opportunity to open schools with Hebrew as the teaching language. The leftist organizations such as the Bund, Leftist Poale Zion had earlier already founded Yiddish schools. The Orphanage had a Hebrew Primary and Middle school. The students were mainly children who returned from exile without parents homeless they lived in the synagogue schools and institutions. A battle broke out over these homeless children between the Zionist movement and the Workers groups that dominated, and the leftist parties that sympathized with communist Russia.
Intensive efforts were carried out in the offices in Topolowa 12 and the Techiya School under the directorship of Michael Berezowski, and later Nachum Chinitch. The Tel Chai School was conducted in two languages - Hebrew and Yiddish. In the education groups there were meetings and discussions about literary subjects, and specific subjects relating to Israel such as making aliyah and the problems facing the pioneers.
C. At the same time there was a stream of the young people from the working classes to the ranks of the Young Zionists, there were also deserters from the old party members to the extreme leftist circles. During the fighting and invasion of the Russians in 1920, many who belonged to the Young Zionists and their institutions declared themselves as against the Russian revolution, and would not participate in the anti government demonstrations under the Young Zionist banner, only as individuals with their professional group.
In 1919-1920 the Young Zionists managed to achieve a great deal in the fields of education, cultural activities, and social assistance (a community soup kitchen). At the same time several members were being prepared to make aliyah to Israel as the first pioneer group from Brest. This first group of Young Zionists made aliyah despite the difficulties. At their departure crowds of youths and adolescents formed a large demonstration to farewell them and show their support for the future workers of Israel.
With the stream of the third aliyah, the Young Zionists fully participated in the working Fund, actively collecting money for arms and equipment for the Haganah, which was sent through the central office in Warsaw. This fund raising involved widespread adult participation the member's parents who supported this cause saw it as a holy mission
The Young Zionists had many members from the working class youth, from the workshop benches to tradesmen and white-collar workers. This is how they gained access to the professional unions. They were able to penetrate the organizations of woodworkers, carpenters, metal workers, and tradesmen, clerical employees where the communists, the Bund and leftist Poale Zion had previously dominated.
The Jewish workers environment was dominated by demagoguery and one had to have great courage and strength of characters to make a stand against these strong mainstream currents. Some members penetrated the professional groups, with the purpose of influencing some of them to make aliyah.
With the election of the Polish Sjem (Parliament) in 1922, the Young Zionists participated together with the right Poale Zion on one electoral ticket. Although the results of this election were not favorable to either (in Polessie and all of Poland), from that time on the members became more involved in the political side of the organization.
At the National Congress in 1923 there was a renowned split a part of the party went to the rightist Poale Zion. At a stormy meeting in Brest, the majority of members voted for a merger with the right Poale Zion. The members who remained loyal to the central committee in Warsaw categorically opposed this merger. Many others left the party at this time and formed their own party, which clung to the Young Zionist traditions. However, the majority of the members voted for a union with the rightist Poale Zion a fierce drive to control the Tel Chai School ensued. The remainder of the Young Zionists made a firm stand to control the Tel Chai library, which existed on the basis of a permit issued to the Polessie Branch Committee of the Polish Zionists. And so the bitter wrangling and jostling for power continued between the two groups it was not until two years later that they agreed to re-unite.
D. In the years 1923-24 the rightist Poale Zion did a great deal for the Tel Chai School with public appeals and lectures. Active members of the Young Zionist continued to go to Israel. Young people who had newly arrived in the town joined the Poale Zion - mainly because of the chance to make aliyah through the training opportunities provided through Hachshara in a kibbutz outside Brest.
In 1925-26 after a unification conference, the two split groups re-united into one party. The united party joined in a campaign for the city council and was successful.
In 1927 several of the members who had earlier made aliyah returned to Brest because of the very difficult economic situation in Israel. But this did not affect the morale of the group. The returnees actively participated in all the party work.
In the city council, the representatives of the party took on the responsibility of the cultural work and penetrated several professional groups. They held free open debates and lectures about Zionism and social problems. They supported the Tel Chai School against the discriminatory Polish authorities. The school, which did not identify with the aims of Zishah in Poland (an extreme YIddish Bundist institute) was closed down. Some of the parents sent their children to Hebrew schools, others to Polish schools.
A Grodzienski and S. Orchov remained dedicated workers for the Tel Chai School.
In 1923 the Hebrew primary school Techiya was transferred to the authority of the Al Hamishmar group, under the directorship of Z. Lutwak. Lutwak had established the school on strong foundations. Several years later the school became the Tarbut Hebrew High School, with full government accreditation.
The upsurge in Zionism had somewhat waned since the end of the Pioneer Aliyah, and at the municipal elections in 1929 the united list of Poale Zion and Zeirei Zion only managed to obtain one seat. On the other hand, the collection of funds for the workers in Israel was always successful.
The unrest (riots) in Israel in 1929 caused an awakening and brought a new stream of youth to the pioneer movement. The central branch of the party in Warsaw mobilized the young people to prepare for aliyah and Brest was very active in this activity. The results of the 1930 election to the city council brought prestige to the party that had a prominent place in the communal life of the city.
Two ideologies dominated the Workers for Israel Party - one believed that the party should direct all it's energies to the protection and benefit of the local Jewish working classes, and conduct educational Zionist programs and work for Israel. Also to stand up and fight the leftist elements (Leftist Poale Zion and the Bundists). The second adopted the position of:our main aim is for Eretz Israel, and there we will build on sand. Opinions were divided the workers organizations opposed this stand and had contact with socialist parties (P.P.S.- Polish Socialist Party). The supporters of building in Israel supported the League of the Workers in Israel, the issue of Hachshara, Aliyah, and raising funds through the Israel Bonds.
The Brest branch of Hapoel conducted a sports organization that attracted a large following and members from the youth circles.
On the 1st May (International Labor Day) in the early years they would hold a workers march in Brest without permission from the authorities. The Zeirei Zion (Young Zionists) did not participate in these demonstrations as they were invariably broken up by the police, with many of the participants beaten severely. After the union of the Young Zionists and the left Poale Zion there were united public demonstrations of the party that included the P.P.S. and the Bund. Years later these combined demonstrations were cancelled. Under pressure from the Bund, the P.P.S. demanded that that the united party should not come out with pro- Zionist proclamations at these rallies. Therefore the Polish Zionist party made their 1st official demonstration by themselves.
The stream of people wishing to make obtain family certificates for aliyah to Israel rose to new heights from 1931-32. In Brest the pioneer movement ran it's Hachshara (agricultural training) program from a kibbutz just outside the city the political party was very involved with the management of this kibbutz.
With the rise of the Nazi regime, the striving to make aliyah became stronger as many decided to leave Poland. This caused a feverish quest for certificates for aliyah, and the Zionist work of the party was much strengthened. It's members were active in Keren Kayemet and Keren Hayesod and Aliyah bet and the membership grew daily.
At this time the rise of the revisionist movement began with it's various branches: Betar, Masada, Brit Hachayal and others who were active against out party. The United Zionist Party together with the general Zionists with Y.L. Winnikoff from Al- Hamishmar and the Y. Greenboim group used all it's strength and energies to uphold the Zionist movement in Brest.
As soon as the swastikas cast their shadows and the terrible war was on the horizon the will to make aliyah strengthened. A few members managed to leave with Aliyah Bet, but the majority had to remain in Brest against their will. They were murdered together with their brother Jews in the terrible Holocaust that followed.
