The invention relates to a data base for permanent data.
Embedded systems for controlling electronic devices must have high reliability. As a rule, their response times to instructions supplied from outside must be very short. In most cases they are also subject to severe hardware restrictions. To ensure data integrity, the data must be stored with buffer power supply and permanently. It is therefore necessary to use appropriate data bases comprising permanent stores.
Using hard-disk stores as permanent stores presents problems for reasons of reliability because of their relatively short service life and the sensitivity to temperature fluctuations.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a data base which meets the above requirements and, in addition, can be implemented in a more reliable and also more inexpensive manner.
In general terms the present invention is a data base for permanent data comprising a buffer store into which all data to be stored permanently is written, and comprising a permanent store connected to the buffer store, which exhibits at least two storage units or storage areas in each of which all the permanent data from the buffer store is stored.
Advantageous developments of the present invention are as follows.
A control mechanism within an application process comprising the management of a first store controls the writing of the data to be stored permanently into the buffer store which is generated or modified by the application process alone or also by other application processes running at the same time.
In the case where a number of application processes are running at the same time, a responsible control mechanism within an application process, by exchanging messages with the control mechanisms of other application processes running at the same time, controls the accesses, required for loading the data to be stored permanently, of the individual application processes running at the same time, to the buffer store using process identification numbers, entered in a shared store, of the application processes running at the same time.
All the permanent data stored in the buffer store is alternately in each case written into one of the storage units or storage areas of the permanent store.
Only modified data sequences are alternately written into affected storage segments of the permanent store.
The modified data sequences are written into the affected storage segments of the permanent store at particular time intervals.
The modified data sequences are written into the affected storage segments of the permanent store after a certain number of modifications.
Only the permanent data, if necessary including the reconstruction data, are transferred into the buffer store from a first store which contains a run-time program and the associated permanent data.
The data is stored in a space-saving manner as data sequence in the buffer store and in a permanent store.
At least one further permanent store is provided for a start program and application software including data base management software, using the configuration data to be written into the first store, are automatically reconstructed from the permanent data stored in the permanent store.
If the construction data which can be used for reconstruction is present in the buffer store, the configuration data to be written into the first store can be automatically recovered from the reconstruction data stored in the buffer store.
At least two random access memories, functionally connected in series, are provided as buffer stores, the permanent data stored in the first one being written into the second one so that the first random access memory is available for reloading while the permanent data from the second or a further random access memory is written into the permanent store.
Loadable Flash Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chips are provided as a permanent store.
The data base is provided for the permanent configuration of functions and/or characteristics of a terminal and, especially, of its terminal cards.
A number of configurations are stored and one of these configurations can be selected for the hardware implementation.
First a number of configuration changes are only performed at the data management side and that then a functional and/or hardware change comprising all configuration changes is performed in the terminal.
The essential advantage of the invention lies in the interaction of a fast buffer store with a permanent store which can be loaded only slowly. As a result, instructions can be taken into the buffer store very rapidly and, as a result, the response times can be kept short while data are written from the buffer store into the permanent store independently of this process.
So that the data to be stored permanently, which are modified by possibly a number of application processes running in parallel, are stored consistently in the buffer store, one of the control mechanisms of the application processes running is made responsible for controlling the access to the buffer store. The responsible control mechanism can co-ordinate the access of the application processes to the buffer store with the aid of process identification numbers, entered in a shared store, of the application processes running simultaneously.
The use of flash EPROMS (FEPROM—Flash Erasable Programmable Memory) as permanent stores which can be loaded with little circuit complexity is advantageous. The use of two FEPROM chips or two storage areas of a FEPROM store into which all necessary data are written alternately offers decisive advantages for restarting the system. In the case of an error during the write process (due to a power failure in the worst case) the previously valid complete data record is available in the other storage area.
Where high failure tolerance is required, it is of advantage if more than two flash EPROMs are available as permanent stores due to the short service life of the flash PROMS. To reduce the volume of data to be stored, only the data necessary for the configuration is permanently stored. The service life of the flash EPROMs is increased by, among other things, a read/write process to the permanent memory not being performed after each change of the data to be stored permanently but after a certain number or, respectively, at particular time intervals.
The data base is especially suitable for the configuration of electronic devices, for example data terminals. In the case of a disturbance or a deliberate restart, all necessary data of the application for determining the terminal configuration are reconstructed (or taken over directly in the case of very simple data bases) from the permanently data stored using programs also stored permanently.
The capability of preparing one or more configurations at the data end and to perform these only at a later time is also advantageous.
The features of the present invention which are believed to be novel, are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention, together with further objects and advantages, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in the several Figures of which like reference numerals identify like elements, and in which:
The configuration (operating mode) of the cross connect determines, for example, which channels are dropped. Its configuration and the operation of the terminal cards are determined by a system control unit SCU which receives its instructions via a data link DV from a central control unit ZCU. The instructions (commands) from the latter are translated by the system control unit SCU and forwarded in converted form as control information SI to the modules of the terminal where the (hardware) configuration is performed.
The modules of the terminal forward alarm and status messages MI to the system control unit which translates them and forwards them to the central control unit or possibly, for example, performs switching-to-standby operations itself. So that the configuration previously set can be re-established in the event of a power failure, all data necessary for the configuration, here called configuration data, must be stored in a permanent data base PDB.
In the event of a reconfiguration, triggered by a command sequence NKON in
The data base ensures that the configuration data, possibly including the construction data, stored as an object model in the first memory ST1, is stored in a space-saving manner, dispensing with predetermined fixed storage areas, in a buffer store ZST as a stream (data sequence). After that, the transaction performed, for example a reconfiguration of the terminal, can be confirmed and subsequently a further transaction can be performed. Such a transaction involves an application process, e.g. APR1 and possibly other application processes running in parallel, for example, APR2.
The buffer store is formed from at least two random access memories RAM1 and RAM2 or, respectively, at least two storage areas of a RAM, connected functionally in series, which will also be called store in the text which follows. The data stored in the first random access memory is transferred into the second random access memory and is controlled by a memory management system so that the first random access memory RAM1 is available for new storage of data of another configuration. The data stored in the second random access memory RAM2 can now be written into a permanent store PST=FEPROM1 and FEPROM2 or, if necessary, stored in other random access memories not shown, and from there pass into the permanent memory.
Two flash EPROMs FEPROM1 and FEPROM2 or, respectively, two storage areas of a larger memory are provided as a permanent memory by way of example. In the case of relatively small data volumes, it is also conceivable to use different storage areas of a FEPROM chip. To provide additional failure tolerance, more than two flash EPROMs can also be available as a permanent memory which are cyclically loaded.
All permanent data MIB is in each case stored alternately in the first and second FEPROM or, respectively, storage area. In the case of relatively large volumes of data it makes sense only to copy altered data into the affected segments (for example, 64 kbytes) of the permanent store. In this arrangement, the process of copying the data to be stored permanently into the permanent store is performed either after each change of data, after a particular number of changes or in particular time intervals.
Although writing data into the FEPROMs requires a relatively large amount of time, this is not critical due to the buffer storage since the different processes are decoupled in turn due to the fact that the permanent data MIB is copied into the buffer store. The more "storage stages" there are in the buffer store, the more configurations following one another in brief succession can be buffered and therefore reconstructed in the event of a deliberate system restart.
If there is a power failure during the loading, the data MIB not yet written into the permanent store PST is lost but the data record previously determining the configuration, the preceding MIB stored permanently, still exists in the other FEPROM so that a valid configuration can be reconstructed.
In the event of a system restart triggered by software in the central control unit or system control unit, the operating system deletes the content of the first memory ST1. However, the content of the buffer memory ZST is retained so that reconstruction data which can be used for reconstruction is present in the buffer and the reconstruction (5) and (6) can be begun immediately from the buffer. In very simple data bases, the data of the first memory ST1 can also be transferred directly into the buffer ZST and from the latter into the permanent memory PST. If the timing conditions are not critical, the buffer can also consist of only one random access memory.
Among the experts of data bases, such an access control belongs to a so-called transaction control. By definition, a transaction represents a sequence of data processing commands such as, for example, read, modify, insert, delete which sets the data base, that is to say the first random access memory RAM1 in the buffer ZST in the example, from one consistent state to another consistent state which is not necessarily different. A transaction is normally subdivided into an execution phase and a so-called commit phase (data comparison and storage phase).
During the execution phase, the control mechanisms KM1 and KM2 which belong to application processes APR1 and APR2, respectively, note the data which were changed in the first stores ST1 and ST2. In addition, an unambiguous process identification number is stored for each application process which modifies data to be stored permanently, in a shared store SM. This process identification number is analyzed in the commit phase in order to identify all application processes which were involved in the transaction. In all application processes involved, a message exchange ensures that modified data are also stored permanently.
The control mechanism, for example KM1, of the application process APR1 is responsible for the transaction which is activated (1) via the application process APR1. In the execution phase (2) to (7), data to be stored permanently are modified in both application processes. The control mechanisms are informed of each modification (2) and (5). On the basis of this information, the control mechanisms allocate an unambiguous process identification number (3) and (6) to the respective application process in the shared store. Other steps relating to the exchange of messages between the application processes are identified by (4) and (7).
The commit phase which follows the execution phase is activated by the responsible control mechanism, for example KMI of application process APR1 (8). Since the application process APR1 is identified in the shared store, the data to be stored permanently, which were modified by application process APR1, are written (10) into the random access memory RAM1. The associated process identification number is removed (9) from the shared store. The responsible control mechanism now identifies the application process APR2 which must write data to be stored permanently into the random access memory RAM1. The application process APR1 sends a message (11) to the application process APR2. In application process APR2, the data to be stored permanently and modified by it are written into (13) the random access memory and the process identification number is deleted (12) in the shared store. The application process APR2 sends a message (14) when it has finished writing its modified data to be stored permanently into the random access memory to application process APR1. The data stored in the random access memory are now consistent and the transaction is concluded.
This correspondingly applies to the data state SD from which again the default configuration HB (7) or, in a step (8), the corresponding hardware state HD can be reached. The default configuration is stored in the random access memory RAM2 in the inactive configuration state.
The invention is not limited to the particular details of the apparatus depicted and other modifications and applications are contemplated. Certain other changes may be made in the above described apparatus without departing from the true spirit and scope of the invention herein involved. It is intended, therefore, that the subject matter in the above depiction shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Do you enjoy fireworks? We always love going to a show if there is going to be one near by. The house that we moved to in San Antonio is right outside the city limits and on New Years Eve and July fourth the fireworks are set off like crazy out in our neighborhood!! On New Years all the fireworks went off at midnight which was really cool. It was like we had our own show in the back yard. On the fourth people shot them off for hours as soon as it got dark which was still pretty fun to watch. It just made going to sleep more difficult… 😉
Well on Sunday, we went to Sea World to beat the August heat and to see their end of summer firework show. It was Amazing!!! For those of you that have been to Sea World might know that they set these fireworks off at the Ski Lake where they do all the ski shows. We sat across from the bleachers on the other side of the lake on the grass. Oh my goodness, it often felt like the fireworks were going to fall on us they were so close. I had to squint it was so bright. It was really a great show and I was really glad that our whole family was able to be together to watch the show. It made our summer coming to an end special.
Another way to beat the end of summer heat is to consume this juicy & refreshing Fruit & Veggie Salad! If you are looking for a super healthy and refreshing side salad with your meal then this is what you are going to want to make tonight! The apples and the little bit of honey that is in the salad make it a little sweet. It's SO good! I can't wait to make this salad again. Because of the vinegar in the salad you can make it up to 3 hours before dinner and you wont have to worry about your apples turning brown. At our local grocery store they sell broccoli slaw & Cole slaw in bags already chopped up and ready to go. So basically the hardest part of making this salad was cutting up my apple into thin strips and dicing up some green onions for the top. EASY!!
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 2 Tbsp honey
- 1 (1oz) package fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 bag of broccoli slaw
- 1 bag of coleslaw
- 1 large Granny Smith apple, cut into thin strips
- 1 bunch of green onions, sliced
- Combine first five ingredients in bowl and set aside.
- In your salad bowl combine the broccoli slaw, coleslaw, and apple.
- Pour dressing over the fruit and veggies and stir to make sure it mixes well with the salad.
- Refrigerate up to 3 hours before serving.
- Salt & Pepper to taste before you serve your salad.

In the September 2008 issue of Bird Talk magazine, Margaret A. Wissman, DVM, DABVP, Avian Practice, gave techniques on administering medication to your bird ("Causes & Cures"). Here are her views on two other methods for medicating a bird.
Alternative Method #1 – Injectable Antibiotic
Another alternative for medicating a bird is by using an injectable antibiotic, a special formulation of doxycycline that provides antibiotic levels for seven days once it is injected into the breast muscle. However, this antibiotic is not available in the United States and must be imported from Germany or the Netherlands, or from other countries that make this particular formulation. The injectable doxycycline that is made in the U.S. can only be given intravenously and is not buffered for intramuscular administration. While "doxy" is traditionally thought of as treatment for psittacosis, it is also useful for many other avian bacterial infections, as well. This medication only requires once a week dosing by injection, so it is a wonderful alternative in many situations where antibiotics are required and the owner cannot or will not medicate the bird, for whatever reason.
Alternative Method #2 – Skin Patches
Transdermal skin patches are another method for administering medications for humans and mammalian patients. However, the patch is not usually employed by avian vets routinely, because dosing is an issue, as is the risk of the bird removing the patch and chewing it up or swallowing it, which may provide the bird with a huge overdose of medication. In the future, this method might be utilized for avian patients but, for now, this is not a safe alternative in most cases.

Wet end to Canberra's 2nd wettest summer
Canberra has recorded its wettest summer in 63 years after receiving above average rainfall in February.
The Bureau of Meteorology recorded 123 millimetre of rain in the capital last month - the 7th wettest February.
For the three months of summer, Canberra received 375 millimetres, making it the second wettest summer on record.
"That is about 225 per cent of the long term average. The long term average of Canberra is 169 millimetres," said meteorologist Ryan White.
"However we still fell a long, long way short of the record set in 1947-48, where Canberra had 477 millimetres in those three months.
"So we're 102 millimetres short of that record drenching year."
Majority of the rain fell during December which was also the second wettest on record.
Around the Territory, Mt Ginini recorded 635 millimetres, with Tharwa experiencing its wettest summer.
Canberra's maximum temperatures over summer were slightly cooler than average at 26.8 degrees celsius. There were only three days exceeding 35 degrees, with the temperature on New Year's Day topping 37.
The minimum temperatures were warmer than usual at 13.8 degrees celsius.
The temperatures were coupled with fewer hours of daylight. The capital recorded an average of eight hours of summer sunshine each day, the lowest since 1992. On average, Canberra has 9.3 hours of sunshine over summer.
Looking ahead, Mr White says they are not expecting a very wet autumn .
"La Nina doesn't actually have too much of an affect on eastern Australia during the autumn and winter, so we're actually expecting rainfall to be closer to average for this coming autumn," he said.
"However because ocean temperatures are warmer than average we actually expect night time temperatures for this autumn to be be above average but the maximum daytime temperatures should be close to average."

So many writers enjoying seeing their work turned into artwork. For me, it fuels me with inspiration to keep going. Recently, I commissioned another piece of art by Andrei Kope, an image from one of my works-in-progress that will likely take me many years to finish.
For those who have read through my earlier blog posts will have seen previous pieces by Andrei, in particular The Mark of Baeya and Melissa the Wolf. Today, I'd like to introduce you to the latest piece by the Romanian digital artist. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet the Shadow Eagle.
When I commissioned this piece, I will admit that I gave him very little guidelines. I told him that I envisioned a flying eagle with its wings spread wide with four black roses in its talons, the roses bordering between bud and full bloom.

It would be understandable if South Carolina and Wisconsin were a little disappointed when they arrived in Orlando for the Capital One Bowl.
ORLANDO, Fla. — It would be understandable if South Carolina and Wisconsin were a little disappointed when they arrived in Orlando for the Capital One Bowl.
Even after some early season setbacks, both teams had a chance to earn spots in a BCS bowl game before coming up short.
But with a New Year's Day matchup that on paper could be one of the best among the non-BCS games, neither the eighth-ranked Gamecocks (10-2) nor No. 19 Badgers (9-3) have had to search for motivation this week.
That's especially true for Wisconsin, which is trying to snap a three-game bowl losing streak following three straight Rose Bowl losses. The Badgers climbed as high as No. 15 in the BCS standings, but had their season stunted by early-season losses to Arizona State and Ohio State and loss to Penn State in their regular-season finale.
"It's tough. You definitely want to send the seniors out on a high note. I haven't won a bowl game so I'm anxious to get out there and get a win," said Badgers running back James White. "It motivates me a lot, and I know it motivates those guys (other seniors) as well. With a new coaching staff, we definitely want to get Coach (Gary) Andersen a bowl win in his first year."
Andersen downplayed his first opportunity as Wisconsin's to play an SEC foe, but did acknowledge the challenge in facing Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier's offense.
"When you mix coach Spurrier and (quarterback Connor) Shaw together in their offense, it's a pretty vicious weapon," Andersen said.
The Gamecocks enter their first-ever matchup with Wisconsin having won two-straight bowl games over Big Ten foes, defeating Nebraska in 2012 and Michigan in 2013.
They reeled off four straight wins following an early loss to Georgia, but were then upset by Tennessee before ending the season on a five-game win streak.
A lot of eyes will be on South Carolina junior defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who is projected to be a top selection in this spring's NFL draft should he decide to enter his name. He leads a Gamecocks defense that ranked fourth in the SEC and tied for 14th in the country, allowing 20 points per game.
"We were all wondering if he's got a limo to take him out of the (stadium) tomorrow or not," Spurrier said. "We were kidding him about all the autograph seeking around there. Wait until after the game and he can start charging for his autograph."
Jokes aside, though, what hasn't been lost on the Gamecocks is that they will take the field as a 1.5-point underdog despite being the higher-ranked team.
Spurrier said he mentioned it only briefly before the team arrived in Florida, but it seems the slight did resonate.
"I just kind of take it as a slap in the face," defensive end Chaz Sutton said this week. "For us to be the (higher) ranked team coming into this game and be labeled as the underdog, we kind of take it as a slap in the face as a team collectively because we know what type of guys we've got coming to this (stadium)...and we just feel like, you know, we deserve way much more respect than what we're getting right now."

The company currently owns and operates one FPSO facility. It also operates a floating, storage and offloading (FSO) facility for Carigali Hess Operating Co Sdn Bhd. M3nergy has a 30% interest in the consortium that was awarded the Cluster 7 service contract for a period of 13 years in March 2006. The FPSO facility reportedly would cost up to $150m and the company might look for partners to share in the acquisition cost. Owning three FPSO facilities would put M3nergy in the top 10 league of companies in the world that own such facilities. [Source: http://biz.thestar.com.my]

May-Treanor and Walsh win their second gold medal
Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh have repeated as gold medalists, the first beach volleyball team to do so. This is their 108th consecutive win. They won 21-18, 21-18 over Tian Jia and Wang Jie on a rain soaked day in Beijing. The win was not without difficulty, as China gave them their toughest test of the Olympics. The Chinese team employed bits of strategy that would make Bill Belichek smile. First, at set point in the first set, China called a timeout just before May was about to serve. Then, China's Wang Jie called for an injury timeout in the second set, giving her an extra few minutes when May and Walsh were on a roll. Still, it did not matter, as the Americans buckled down and won the gold.

Online dating is nothing if not a veritable buffet of choices, and also a chance to be really, really specific. Don't like the tilt of that guy's fedora? Swipe on by! Looking for someone that shares your deep passion for yacht rock, the literary sensibilities of Joan Didion and chicken chips? Keep on scrolling because you will probably find them! Want to date people purely based on their Meyer-Briggs dating score? You're not alone!
Much has been written about how too much choice can lead to daters feeling apathetic, restless and kind of acting like a jerk.
But what we choose to put on our online dating profiles - and what we leave off - can lead to interesting insights into both love and life.
Recently dating website OK Cupid commissioned Darin Hawley, the founder of hugequiz.com, to scroll through 97,000 profiles of straight men and women from the 100 biggest cities in America to find the words people most commonly used to describe themselves.
The results, shared with Quartz, include that men were much more likely to use their occupation to describe themselves, with words like "engineer," "software," and "musician," commonly appearing. For women commonly appearing words included "girly," "sassy," and "curves, with "nurse" the only exception.
The findings kind of, depressingly, reaffirm every bog-standard stereotype about men and women. Namely that men are the breadwinners and women are their "sassy" sidekicks.
As Li Zhou noted in The Atlantic, the study "hints at the endurance of another norm—the belief that men's work is integral to their identities and women's work is more of an ancillary characteristic."
The thing is though, everybody kinda loses out when they're defined by their job. I like how one of my good friends - a nurse, funnily enough - responds when someone asks her what she "does." She might say that she runs, or that she bakes, or that she really loves to travel. All of the things that define her as a person much more than what she does for a crust.
Because isn't it better to match with someone that shares your passion for making jam or the stylings of David Bowie (or you know, shared values on education and community) rather than the fact that you both work in superannuation or whatever? There's one caveat though - true for everyone, both single and not - don't be too quick to dismiss people, they'll always surprise you.

Nuts! Jaja (Ipatinga) vs Fabian Carini (Atletico Mineiro)
What a horrific goal to concede.
Sunday night in Brazil saw Atletico Mineiro take on Ipatinga in the Brazilian Mineiro I league, and the match was made memorable by an incredible opening goal early in the second half.
Ipatinga striker Jaja picked up the ball 30-yards from goal and, after shifting the ball past his covering defender, the number 9 took a pot-shot at the target. In truth the shot was weak, barely reaching the six-yard box with any pace whatsoever, yet unbelievably the ball ended up in the net after an atrocious howler from home keeper Fabian Carini.
Jaja's "nuts" of Carini to score one the funniest goals of the weekend can be seen here.

In case you didn't know, Kaley Cuoco's love for The Bachelor is real. But not just any bachelor—this season, specifically.
The well-known known superfan, who stunned in a black cut-out gown by Romona Keveza, couldn't help but start gushing about Ben Higgins while talking with Brad Goreski on E! Live From the Red Carpet tonight at the 2016 SAG Awards.
When asked if they can talk about the hunky reality star looking for love, Cuoco (with her eyes wide open) hilariously said, "Is he here? Is he nominated for a SAG Award tonight for hottest Bachelor of all time?"
LOL! Goreski asked The Big Bang Theory star what she would do if Higgins was up on that stage, and she had the absolute best answer.
"I would Kanye [West] myself up there and go talk to him," Cuoco joked, obviously referencing the notorious incident that happened between the rapper and Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
"I'm just a little overly obsessed with him. I think he's adorable, charming, the most interesting Bachelor we've had. I have been enjoying this season so much. And he's adorable."
Hey, we can't disagree.

Huelva - Punta Umbria - El Rompido
Punta Umbria Travel Blog› entry 2 of 12 › view all entries
As soon as we got our car, small funny Peugeot 107, we drove down to the south. We wanted to take a swim in the ocean sooo badly. By night time we arrived to Huelva, very tired from the first day in the car. We wanted to park somewhere and to find a place to sleep. That's all we cared about. And no, we didn't have anything reserved beforehand. Actually, our reservation in Sevilla was the only thing thought through beforehand.
So we arrived to Huelva, it drove us crazy with all one-way streets, we found a good two-star hotel where one boy recommended to go to another one, a little bit cheaper. it was just one street away. We looked for it more than one hour, going crazy bit by bit, coming back to the same spot for the tenth time, driving in circles.
In the morning we went in search of the ocean. It was fantastic, bright blue, with pinetrees and sand dunes around. Both towns - Punta Umbria and El Rompido were empty, I think here, tourist season was already over. Though the water was very warm.
I wish we knew more about Cadiz, this way we would have gone there as our next stop. But we picked Gibraltar just because it sounded so famous. We got a little disappointed but that's another part of story.
I am not very good with words, so I'll do what i do best - show pictures. And I hope someone enjoys them.

Dieting alone does not work if you want a strong body
Did you know that you can lose weight without doing any exercise? I'm sure you have heard about the concept of calories in versus calories out. According to this principle, all you need to do is decrease your daily calorie intake to less than what you are burning per day and you will lose weight. Is this correct? Technically, yes. This is the foundation for every single "diet." However, if you want to lose weight, look better, get healthy and keep it up, you have got to use your body as it was intended and start moving!If you are overweight, you probably are not moving enough. There is an ongoing debate about whether diet or exercise is more important in weight loss and management. There are studies that support the role of calorie restriction as being more important for weight loss and there are others that support the greater role of exercise in determining pounds lost. So, which one is more important? In my opinion they are answer equally important! At Zumba, we place an equal emphasis on diet and exercise. (Diet is defined as the food and drink that you are consuming on a daily basis, and that's the definition we use at zumba.) But, I suspect that even on zumba, there are large numbers of people who are losing weight with calorie restriction alone or who, at the very least, do not emphasize exercise enough. I am here to tell you that this is a recipe for failure. It may seem harsh, but I've got to give you some tough love and let you know that diet without exercise will likely not work in the long run to keep off your lost pounds. What does moving mean? Understanding movement starts with defining what sedentary means. What is a sedentary lifestyle? Technically a sedentary lifestyle is a medical term used to describe a type of lifestyle with no or irregular physical activity. A sedentary lifestyle is probably better known as being a couch potato. People who live sedentary lifestyles are likely to be stuck in a routine that involves starting the morning with a commute to a desk job then a commute home only to spend most of the evening watching TV or surfing on a computer. The only thing that qualifies as activity is walking to and from the car and maybe the walking around the grocery store to pick up food. Why is a sedentary lifestyle bad for you? Well, for one thing it is predictive of weight gain as presented in the Surgeon General's report of Physical Activity. What is the worst sedentary activity? The Nurses' Health Study demonstrated that prolonged television watching was the most predictive of weight gain of all sedentary activities. The goal is to adopt a healthier lifestyle. In order to have a healthier lifestyle, you must accept that both diet AND exercise for the rest of your life is necessary. When I was nearly 300 pounds, the thought of consistently exercising seemed almost an unimaginable feat. I had declared in the past that I hated exercise and I thought that I knew this about myself. My attitude was not surprising. After all, I was horribly out of shape and had back and knee pain when I started my journey in 2007. But, due to resources like Zumba, I knew that I needed to try out this "exercise thing." I chose to use an elliptical machine as an introduction to cardiovascular fitness and I added weight training later. I started with just 5 to 10 minutes a day and slowly worked up to where I am today. So, I guess I can be called a reformed couch potato. Understanding all of the benefits of exercise is an extremely expansive topic, so, what I want to emphasize is the transition from a sedentary lifestyle to an active lifestyle. Here are a few of my tips for making this transition smoother:
1.Make time for exercise. Many of you are going to say that you don't have enough time to think about exercise. Between working, taking care of children, cleaning the home, it doesn't leave much time for anything else does it? But, remember that you must put yourself first and you have to make the time to exercise. You wouldn't stop brushing your teeth because you didn't have time, would you? Most Americans can discover more time by just giving up or limiting television. If you must watch then park an elliptical, treadmill, or exercise bike in front of it and turn a negative into a positive. That's what I did. Record your favorite shows and make a deal with yourself that you will only watch when you exercise. There are hundreds of different ways to start moving. Just start! 2.Do what works best for you and be ready to change if your workout schedule becomes too difficult to maintain. When I first started my lifestyle change I got my exercise in at night before bed. At that time my children were not sleeping through the night and by the time 5:30 a.m. rolled around I was too exhausted to even think about exercise. This worked out for me for years, but as the kids got older they started to demand more time in the evenings so I switched to morning workouts. I've been waking up on weekdays at 5:30 a.m. to do 45-60 minute cardio sessions for just about one year. This is what works now, but I know that I can change if necessary. 3.Get support. --- Support is critical when establishing an exercise habit. Chores may need to be delegated and childcare arrangements may need to be made. Sometimes there really are not enough hours in a day and the only way to find time is to find another way to take care of your obligations. Also, make sure your support is positive. Your support should not be saying to you, "Are you going to the gym again?!" SparkPeople has amazing teams that can help you deal with just any situation! Join a team today! 4.Don't burn out. --- Start slowly. You will have much more success if you start with shorter sessions (think 5-20 minute workouts) than if you try to go from couch potato to hourlong cardio sessions. Distract yourself to get through your workouts if necessary. Read while you are on the exercise bike, watch TV while walking on the treadmill, or watch your kids play while on the elliptical. Keep it interesting but not overwhelming. Do not exercise to the point of extreme discomfort and certainly do everything possible to avoid injury! 5.Wear appropriate clothing. If you are exercising at home you can get away with working out in an old T-shirt and ripped shorts. But, if you plan to exercise in public, you may want to invest in proper attire for a couple of reasons. First, you look like you are there for business and you will blend in with the crowd. Also, athletic clothing designed for exercise manages sweat much better than an old T-shirt! Try it! You will be amazed at the difference! 6.Find opportunities everywhere. I know you've heard it before but every little bit does ads up. Sneak in exercise by taking the stairs, parking far away from the door, carrying your own groceries, cleaning the house, and standing instead of sitting. These calories burned may not seem worth it, but over time they add up to pounds per year! 7.Be consistent. Forming a habit requires consistency. You need to establish your new habit and the only way to do it is through consistency. 8.Accept activity for life. When I was losing weight but still over 200 pounds, I had a conversation with someone who I thought was "naturally thin." I wondered why in the world she was counting calories and exercising almost daily. She told me that her mother taught her from a young age to eat nutritious foods, watch your portions, and make exercise a part of your life. She also told me that she nips any scale creeps in the bud even though she had never been overweight. That conversation was an "A-ha!" moment for me. This is when I accepted and understood that most thin people are that way because they work for it. Just as it is not magical for me to lose and maintain my weight it is not magical for the "naturally thin" as well. So, are you ready to stop minimizing the importance of getting off the couch? Do you accept that most "naturally thin" people do some form of regular exercise? Take the plunge and start today. Only 5 -10 minutes a day are required to get your feet wet. Keep doing it almost every day until you have formed a new habit. If you have not adopted an exercise plan, stop shortchanging yourself. Look at the statistics. Successful maintainers exercise. This is a proven fact. I know that you are not losing weight to gain it back, so start consistently exercising today! Keep sparking!

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
This week's review was initially going to be a battle royale between Oakland and Berkeley to determine which city has the best museum cafe. The contest would have pitted Babette at the Berkeley Art Museum against the Oakland Museum of California's Blue Oak Cafe. As it turned out, they weren't playing in the same league.
Welcome to the Mid-Week Menu, a weekly roundup of restaurant openings, chef arrivals and departures, and other nuggets of gossip from the East Bay food scene.
If you fail to be charmed by bike-powered entrepreneurship, then your little black heart may well be beyond redemption. Whether it's an eco-powered three-wheeler serving up tacos and breakfast burritos (El TacoBike) or shade-grown coffee beans delivered by former Wall Street Guys (Bicycle Coffee), bike delivery gives a twee boost to any product's appeal.

The Grand Opening Of SPACE BAR
Cold Cave
Body Of Light
3519 El Cajon Blvd
San Diego, CA, 92104
This event is 21 and over
Cold Cave is the electronic music of acclaimed musician, writer and artist Wesley Eisold. Beginning in 2007, Cold Cave has become a name synonymous with the contemporary resurgence of Darkwave and Synth Pop sub-genres, propelling Cold Cave to perform at world class museums The Getty and the Guggenheim, as well as performances with legends Sonic Youth, The Jesus and Mary Chain, among others. The sound has spanned from experimental industrial noise to rock'n'roll influenced electronic music.
According to the Guardian, "Wesley Eisold is an absolutely new, young god of nihilism and despair – he brilliantly captures Cold Cave's aesthetic: the Morrissey of How Soon Is Now wailing over Nitzer Ebb beats and New Order melodies."
According to Eisold, if anything, his music reflects what it feels like to live in the present. Eisold, whose baritone is as rich and resonating as that of Phil Oakey, Nick Cave or Iggy Pop, says "Of course we love the lineage of the genre, early experiments with machines to convey human emotion; the marriage between pop and industrial music. At the time it was documenting the early stages of a new world, and we are recording what it feels like to be alive in that world."
Formed in the Spring of 2012, Arizona's Body of Light are a relatively new creative force in the modern synth scene, only now becoming understood. From the archaic drones of their first releases, to a more realized psych soundtrack of their Sonoran Desert home, the duo has now come to finish their fifth release, "Volontà di Amore". Hesitant to define themselves strictly as a synth-pop act, the Jarson brothers incorporate a wide variety of sounds—they are attempting to construct a path, unique with decaying, warbled tape loops, old VHS home-movie sound samples from their childhood, and cold lyrics buried in chorus and delay.

People & Culture of Indonesia
Living on more than 17,000 islands, the Indonesian nation today counts some 200 million population comprising more than 200 ethnic groups. After Independence in 1945 inter-marriages among people of different ethnic groups have welded the population into a more cohesive Indonesian nation.
The majority of the population embraces Islam, while in Bali the Hindu religion is predominant. Whereas in areas like the Minahasa in North Sulawesi, the Toraja highlands in South Sulawesi, in the East Nusatenggara islands and in large parts of Papua, in the Batak highlands as well as on Nias island in North Sumatra, the majority are either Catholics or Protestants. On the whole the Indonesian people are religious in nature.
And, true to the Pancasila, the five principles of nationhood, - namely Belief in the One and Only God, a Just and Civilized Humanity, the Unity of Indonesia, Democracy through unanimous deliberations, and Social Justice for all - Indonesian societies are open and remain tolerant towards one anothers religion, customs and traditions, all the while faithfully adhering to their own. The Indonesian coat of arms moreover bears the motto: Bhinneka Tunggal Ika Unity in Diversity.
Although todays youth especially in the large cities is modern and follow international trends, yet when it comes to weddings, couples still adhere to traditions on the side of both the brides and bridegrooms parents. So in a mixed ethnic wedding, the vows and wedding traditions may follow the brides familys, while during the reception elaborate decorations and costumes follow the grooms ethnic traditions, or vice versa. Weddings and wedding receptions in Indonesia are a great introduction to Indonesias many and diverse customs and traditions. Weddings are often also occasions to display ones social status, wealth and fashion sense. Even in villages, hundreds or even thousands of wedding invitees line up to congratulate the couple and their parents who are seated on stage, and then enjoy the wedding feast and entertainment.
The Arts and Celebrations
The Indonesian archipelago harbours many ancient cultures that are rooted here, while throughout its history through centuries until today the islands have been influenced by Indian, Chinese, Arabic and European cultures, and lately also by the global popular culture, international travel and internet. Foreign cultures and traditions, however, are absorbed and assimilated by the people producing unique Indonesian creations found nowhere else in the world.
On 2 October 2009, UNESCO recognized Indonesias Batik as World Intangible Cultural Heritage, adding to the earlier recognized Indonesias Keris (the wavy blade dagger), and the Wayang shadow puppets. Further being considered as World Heritage is the Angklung bamboo musical instrument from West Java, being uniquely Indonesian.
Indonesias culture is indeed rich in the arts and crafts. In textiles, Sumatra produces some of the best gold and silver-thread woven sarongs, known as songket; South Sulawesi women produce colourful hand-woven silks, while Bali, Flores and Timor produce some of the best textiles from natural fibers using complicated motifs. In wood craft, Balis artisans produce beautiful sculptures, as do the Asmat in Papua, both traditional and modern, Central Javas craftsmen produce finely carved furniture, while Bugis shipbuilders of South Sulawesi continue to build the majestic phinisi schooners that ply the Indonesian seas until today.
The large variety of different cultures and traditions throughout the country is also expressed in numerous exciting and interesting events, both religious and popular, that are held throughout the year. (See Calendar of Events).
Among these are the colourful religious Hindu Dharma ceremonies held continuously on Bali, the court processions during Sekaten in Yogyakarta, Java, preceding the birth date of the Prophet Mohammad, as well as the Tabot Festival in Bengkulu, Sumatra, a ceremony commemorating the role of Prophet Muhammads grandchildren, Hasan and Husein in spreading the faith. The Buddhist Vaisak Ceremonies are held yearly around Borobudur, as is the Chinese Toa Peh Kong festival in Manado, while the Feasts to the Dead are held in Toraja, both latter on the island of Sulawesi, and the Kasada ceremony is held annually at the end of the year on Mt. Bromo in East Java, the appease the ancestors and the mountain gods.
Then there are the exciting simulated tribal wars in the Wamena valley of Papua, the bull races on the island of Madura held as thanksgiving after the harvest, as well as the nyale festival in Lombok, to collect the sea worms that appear here each February only, and many more events on all islands. And to top it off is the event of complete silence called nyepi in Bali, the day of meditation for the entire island, when all lights, fires, sounds, including planes and cars are barred for 24 hours! The Balinese have mooted that nyepi becomes an international tradition that will greatly reduce pollution and global warming.
Indonesia is also strong in the performing arts. The beautiful Ramayana dance drama is enacted during the dry season at the large open stage at Prambanan near Yogyakarta under a tropical full moon and against the dramatic illuminated background of this 9th.century temple. Indonesias dances are colourful, dramatic or entertaining. They vary from the highly synchronized saman song and dance from Aceh, to the sedate and sophisticated court dances from Java accompanied by the liquid sounds of the gamelan orchestra, to the war dances of Kalimantan, Papua, and Sulawesi.
Chinese influence can be seen along the entire north coast of Java from the batik patterns of Cirebon and Pekalongan, to the finely carved furniture and doors of Kudus in Central Java, as also in the intricate gold embroidered wedding costumes of West Sumatra.
But Indonesia does not live in the past alone. Today, in music, in metropolitan Jakarta, the Java Jazz Festival is the annual meeting highlight for top international and Indonesian jazz musicians. Indonesia also boasts some of the best rock and pop bands and singers. Bands like Nidji, Ungu, Slang, Peter Pan and singing celebrities like Rossa, Agnes Monica, Kris Dayanti, Pasha, Ari Lasso, and many others, never fail to create a sensation wherever they appear in Indonesia as also in Malaysia and Singapore.

A relatively easy thing to do, and what happens - someone forgets to put powder on all of your whining butts.
Haiko - pal, I hate to be the one to tell you this, but you were not the first to start yelling in a proactive manner about parasitic behaviour. Hell, Mike came well before you, and he wasn't first either. Factually, one of the first I heard was from Wayne Porter himself some years ago.
Many want to get this done right, but it appears that more want to simply ***** and moan. Frankly, you disgust me!

I never said that I was the first, I highly respect the firsts, but when they drop the ball (other boards) then it goes out the window.
I am very upset at the affiliates who misguide their emotions based on false evidence, when they are the ones who will ultimately loose.
Complaining seems to be the order of the day, well, I've been taking it day to day. I haven't changed anything from May 25th 2001 (first appearance on CJU) to today and never will. Period!
Much Respect,
Haiko

Don, It looks to me that you are doing more uncreative pissing and moaning and especially SPACE wasting with this post. What is it you're attempting to accomplish by the whine in your voice here? That you can piss and moan the largest?
For my experience, any posting in other forums, by Wayne or otherwise, NEVER was pointed in any direction other than to point in their OWN~! This I have evidenced since 1996.
It was not until I met Haiko through CJU Forums@CJ that ANYTHING remotely resembling a
S T A N C E for JUSTICE ever came into being. In fact, if anyone so much as uttered a word about this kind of subject either the post OR the poster was banned. If not banned immediately, the poster was publically ridiculed for speaking up against this kind of thing.
Another fact I have witnessed outside in other forums is Mike would always seem to catch he most abuse from EVERYONE outside this forum, INCLUDING abuse from Wayne P. Calmly, but to quell the words just the same.
So don't come pissing on the shoes here . . . your kind is the most disgusting of all . . . one who ONLY jumps on the person the people are screaming at the most . . . Haiko.
October 16th, 2002, 09:10 PM #5
Haiko, thanks once again for getting the ball rolling against parasites and their ilk: no doubt, you are the one that got ACTION. You are a catalyst for change, that is for sure. If others talked about it, great, but they didn't get squat accomplished until you sparked everyone into action.
I Will FOCUS On My Goal

I second that. Haiko, I feel your fustrations & disappointements over everything that has happened. I don´t know you personally, and I don´t agree with some of the things you have posted, but I have not walked in your shoes either. You have my respect.
