Brexit fatigue among students
By Lara Decrae
It seems that everyone is ready for Brexit to be over, however it is still not a done deal. According to Jo Johnson, former Minister of State for Universities and Science, "EU and international students make an important contribution to our world-class universities," but will Brexit have an influence on this?
We talked to a couple of UK students who are currently studying in Brussels and VUB students who are studying in London to find out whether or not Brexit has an impact on them as students.
Sally Tipper (38) is a freelance editor and production journalist from England. She came to Belgium with her boyfriend in 2010 and studies at CVO Semper on campus. Sally voted to remain in the EU in the (2016) referendum.
How do you view Brexit?
"Brexit is a big concern and something that is impossible to ignore. I'm concerned about its impact on friends and family back in the UK, particularly the younger generation. It saddens me, for example, that they will not have the opportunities of freedom I have enjoyed. One of the most troubling things for me is how Brexit has polarised the country in such a short space of time. It has become an issue where there seems to be no middle ground, and the rhetoric from politicians, sections of the media and the public has become very violent and divisive. I don't see a way for it to end positively."
Have you noticed its influence on your surroundings?
"To be honest, I struggle to follow the technicalities of the process and find it difficult to understand it in detail. It's something that eventually comes up in just about every conversation, and I don't think this will change.. My family in the UK has mixed views and I prefer to avoid the topic altogether when I see them. In Brussels, people are on the whole pro-EU, but that's to be expected; people have seen the benefits of EU membership, though they recognize that the EU is of course not perfect. I dare say that away from Brussels there are less positive opinions about the EU, just like outside London and other UK cities there is more anti-EU sentiment."
Do you feel like you have to make a choice between countries?
"Like many people, when I came to Belgium I wasn't necessarily expecting to stay here, so I don't know if I would have applied for citizenship had it not been for Brexit. Though of course it has its own political problems. I don't yet feel like I've had to choose between the two countries, but I certainly feel less British since the referendum and everything that has followed. On a practical level, Brexit hasn't changed anything in my life, but it has made me question my assumption that I would eventually return to England. I feel now like I have a foot in each country but am not completely rooted in either of them."
"I have a foot in each country but am not completely rooted in either of them"
Sally Tipper
India Stiller (20) comes from the South East of England and hops between Kent and Sussex. She studies Social Sciences at VUB and it's her third year in Brussels.
What are your thoughts on Brexit?
"I can't follow it, mainly because all the headlines and news stories are about what politicians have said, Juncker and Johnson primarily, but I'm finding out from my friends that know more about politics that the things they're saying, like 'We will not be granting the UK another extension', are irrelevant because the people saying it don't have the authority to make those decisions."
"I noticed the NHS (the National Health Service of the UK) is super underfunded, so are our schools, so are general wages, the police force, housing, social benefit... It's been bad for a while because of austerity but it got worse since Brexit took over all of the government's attention and resources. I feel like a lot of people just want something to happen regardless of what it is, because they're bored of hearing about it. I think I'm personally against Brexit but honestly no one knows what it's going to be like until it happens. It's a huge risk though."
Has it impacted you as a student?
"The EU props up a lot of our Higher Education funding and I'm scared that our universities will suffer a lot from it. I definitely want to get an EU passport, get dual citizenship somewhere else but I don't feel like I have to choose between countries because this is just an exchange year for me. I'm 100% English, but I might move abroad in a few years, depending on how well or how badly Brexit goes."
Are views different here than they are at home?
"Here, all my international friends seem to be very interested in it, but in the UK it's all we hear about on the news, so we don't want to hear about it anymore. Not all people educate themselves on what's going on, they tune it out. My grandparents do pay more attention to the news and they're furious about the whole thing and they think most of the UK politicians are idiots and shout at the TV a lot, but I avoid getting into it with them because they'll never stop talking about it."
Laura Berthoud (22) has lived in Brussels for most of her life, she's a postgraduate student at Imperial College London and is taking the MSc in Science Communication.
What is your view on Brexit?
"I seem to be balancing between being curious about the next steps and bored of the eternal debates going nowhere new. Aside from news articles and conversations I like watching "Brexit explained" videos on Youtube, they help me grasp the situation."
How does your environment react to it?
"It's always striking to be reminded of how much everyone lives in their own bubble. Around me, everyone I speak to is a remainer (fellow students, professors, people in the streets...)."
Are you worried about the consequences of Brexit?
"My personal life hasn't been hugely affected so far. I don't feel too worried about the consequences as I'm only planning to live here for a year and everything's been sorted; I've signed my lease, I've paid my tuition. I don't take any medications. Although I did stock up on my contraception pills! But we'll have to see if they even get a deal through before I move back to Brussels this summer..."
Born and raised in Brussels, Yannis Skalli (23) studied History at VUB. This year he is studying International History at the London School of Economics.
What is your view on the entire Brexit story?
"Obviously, Brexit (or the Brexit saga we can say by now) is a hot topic here. Especially in the academic environment and in my department, during lectures on the history of European integration or during public lectures; the topic always comes up. At the same I feel that there is some kind of fatigue, some people are getting tired of the whole debate (as the last vote on the deal in Parliament probably showed). 'Just get it done' seems to be their motto. The huge numbers that showed up to the protests in the last weeks obviously counter that narrative.
"With regards to my personal experience: there seems to be, in my immediate environment, a certain reluctance to debate with people who have a totally different opinion. For example, when we were having lunch last week, the subject came up and one person said: 'I'm probably going to vote for the conservatives, but I won't bring that up now – let's not destroy the good atmosphere'. The debates that go into the substance are usually quite long but always end with the same conclusion: nobody knows what will happen… That also seems to be the position of Belgian Embassy. Until now, however, they have assured us that nothing will change for us during this academic year.
"Looking into the future and the upcoming elections, which probably were the only way out of the impasse, the whole debate will without doubt heat up enormously. I however fear that the superficial level of some of the campaigns, as before the referendum, will once again impede serious discussions. Not only about 'Brexit' and the future position of the United Kingdom in the world, but also about the underlying and more pressing problems such as the huge inequalities in this country and climate change."

During the first episode the time jumps forward by a year, and Maggie is now in prison, meaning she was on trial during this year, and most likely committed the crime in that time too.
General Naird goes to visit her in jail on several occasions, but they never speak about what she did..
Boeing's Starliner commercial crew vehicle is behind schedule and NASA has not announced when it will fly. The unit is part of the U.S. Space Force's 45th Space Wing but when it deploys for a mission it reports directly to U.S. Space Command.
According to an Air Force press release about the graduation, "the majority" will be assigned to Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, "to begin undergraduate space training".
The Air Force recently began wearing the same uniform. The main different is the name tapes – the Space Force's is blue, whereas the Army uses black and the Air Force sports brown. … Members will look like their joint counterparts they'll be working with, on the ground," Space Force said.
There were six AFSPC host bases:Buckley AFB, Colorado. 460th Space Wing. … Los Angeles AFB, California. Space and Missile Systems Center. … Patrick AFB and Cape Canaveral AFS, Florida. 45th Space Wing. … Peterson AFB, Colorado. 21st Space Wing. … Schriever AFB, Colorado. 50th Space Wing. … Vandenberg AFB, California. 14th Air Force.
The flag itself is very dark blue, appearing almost black at first glance. It features three large stars and the Space Force's signature delta logo in the center. The flag reads "United States Space Force," and beneath that are the Roman numerals "MMXIX," or 2019, the year that the Space Force was officially "born."
"You have to get approval of your service and the approval of the Space Force, but those options are open to you," Chief of Space Operations Gen. … The Space Force did not answer on April 20 whether Soldiers, Sailors, and Marines can join within the next two years.
For you, the worst branch of the military would be the Marine Corps… because of the four DoD services, the Marines are the only one that doesn't have a base in Italy.
US Space Force mocked for unveiling camouflage uniforms. The US Space Force has defended its newly unveiled camouflage uniforms after they were roundly mocked on social media. The force, officially launched by US President Donald Trump last month, posted a picture of the uniform to its Twitter account.
"Active duty Air Force officers and enlisted personnel in existing space career fields and select other career fields are eligible to apply for transfer," the Space Force said. Approximately 16,000 military and civilians from the former U.S. Air Force Space Command are now assigned to the new service.
The United States Space Force (USSF) is the space warfare service branch of the U.S. Armed Forces, and is one of the eight U.S. uniformed services….Budget.United States Space Force Budget20202021 (proposed)Total$40,000,000$15,382,100,0003 more rows
The new service branch essentially repackages and elevates existing military missions in space from the Air Force, Army and Navy, said Todd Harrison, who directs the Aerospace Security Project at the Center for Strategic & International Studies.
The U.S. military's newest branch just declared itself officially open for business with the release of its first-ever recruiting ad. … The service opened the application period for active-duty U.S. Air Force personnel to transfer into its ranks on May 1.
24. President Donald Trump on Friday (Jan. 24) officially unveiled the logo for the U.S. Space Force and the reaction has been strong. It might just be because the logo, which draws heavily on the new military branch's Air Force heritage, bears a striking similarity to a "Star Trek" insignia.
During that time U.S. Space Command will remain at its provisional headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado. U.S. Space Command was established in August 2019 as the military's 11th unified combatant command.
U.S. SPACECOM has been established but is not yet fully operational. Raymond has been authorized to build a roughly 300-person staff at U.S. SPACECOM's temporary headquarters at Peterson Air Force Base, Colorado.

In a move that likely adds valuable leadership to a team that will be learning under a first-year coach, the Dash on Tuesday acquired forward Tiffany Weimer in a trade with the Washington Spirit.
The Dash sent their fourth-round pick in the 2019 NWSL Draft to Washington for the 34-year old veteran.
Weimer has played for five teams, including four in the NWSL over the last five years. She played for the Boston Breakers last season and was selected by Washington in last month's Dispersal Draft.
Even though the Dash acquired Weimer in a trade, she will retain her 'free' status for the 2018 season because she was in the Dispersal Draft. Weimer will not count against the Dash's roster and salary caps.

2. Portability - It doesn't do you much good to have a huge desk calendar filled with everything you need to do this week, but it's so huge that you can't carry it with you. Decide what works best for you: pocket-sized to tuck in your purse, a notebook that fits in your wallet or a planner with handles that can function as your pocketbook. There are too many choices out there to not have it with you.
3. Adaptability - Can you change out the 2010 pages for 2011 pages and keep the cover? Would you like to have just the calendar and not the address book? Look for something that suits exactly what you need. Having lots of ways to personalize your information is the mark of a great planner.
4. Functionality - I really like having the year-at-a-glance pages in my planner, but I rarely use them. You may not need the day broken down into hours or the address book in the back. There are lots of planners that allow you to mix-and-match parts to create just the right combination of pages and uses. Find a calendar that fits your personality, your daily needs and your style.
5. Multiple capabilities - Calendar, address book, calculator, pockets, pen holder, birthday list...if you're carrying around all of these items separately, you need to find a new planner. Imagine how much more organized life would be if you had one place to keep all these things and be able to take it with you wherever you go. Yes, you can multitask and be organized at the same time.
Armed with some great ideas, head to the store and start exploring your planning options. And don't settle - you'll have this calendar for a whole year, so you want it to be functional, stylish and absolutely fabulous. Then you won't have any excuses!
I sure enjoyed your Sunday School lesson today! Found your card in the basket of goodies you gave me this morning, and thought I'd check out your site. If you get a chance, you may want to look at mine, too - raubsontheroad.blogspot.com.
BTW, I am addicted to planners - thanks for the post.

Robinson: Progressives should push proudly for Medicare for all
EUGENE ROBINSON
Washington Post Writers Group
WASHINGTON – The smartest, savviest people in Washington will tell you Bernie Sanders' "Medicare for all" idea is dead on arrival, a waste of time and energy. But since those same smart, savvy people told you Donald Trump didn't have a prayer of becoming president, I'd advise keeping an open mind.
What the Vermont senator's bill has going for it is simple: It's the right thing to do.
The issue is not whether we should have socialized medicine in this country. We already do – Medicare for everyone over 65; Medicaid for the indigent, the working poor and the disabled; the Children's Health Insurance Program for minors in modest-income families. That's a total of around 133 million Americans who already enjoy most of the benefits of a single-payer health system similar to those in other wealthy countries.
The philosophical debate about whether government should play a major role in medical care is over, as evidenced by the GOP's "repeal and replace" fiasco. In trying vainly to get rid of the Affordable Care Act, Republicans argued about how to subsidize health insurance, not whether to do so. The most conservative approach – working through the existing free-market, fee-for-service health care system mediated by private insurance companies – had already been tried. It is called Obamacare.
In the end, Republicans couldn't pull the trigger. The question now is whether Democrats will continue to settle for half-measures or finally demand what the party has claimed to want for decades: fully universal health care as a right, not as a privilege.
Sixteen Democratic senators have announced support for Sanders' bill, introduced Wednesday, "to establish a Medicare-for-all national health insurance program." It is no accident that among them are such potential 2020 presidential hopefuls as Kamala Harris of California, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Cory Booker of New Jersey and Al Franken of Minnesota. They probably believe, as I do, that the party's activist base is ready to go big on health care, even if the congressional leadership remains guarded and skeptical. Both Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi are studiedly noncommittal.
There is, of course, the not-insignificant fact that Republicans control both the Senate and the House. Even though Trump has to be considered a wild card – he has, over time, taken every conceivable position on health care – it is hard to imagine this Congress jumping on the universal-care bandwagon.
But what Sanders did with his insurgent campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination was to bring "Medicare for all" in from the fringe and make it an acceptable topic for public debate. Medicare is enormously popular among seniors because it works. Why wouldn't it work for the rest of us?
Critics reply that it would be ruinously expensive. They point to a 2016 Urban Institute study projecting that "Medicare for all" would cost a staggering $32 trillion over the next decade. However, this assumes the federal government would take over all current health care spending by state and local governments, employers and individuals, which would add up to $26 trillion over that same period. Even if this money were paid to the government rather than to health providers and insurance companies, according to this analysis, there would still be a sizable gap to somehow fill.
During last year's presidential campaign, Sanders estimated that offering Medicare to all would cost $14 trillion over a decade and be offset by tax increases. He has not yet placed a price tag on the bill introduced this week.
There is another way to look at costs, however. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, in 2015 the United States spent $9,507 per capita on health care. That's more than twice the amount spent per capita in Britain ($4,125), France ($4,530) or Canada ($4,533), all of which have universal health care. In rankings based on factors such as life expectancy and infant mortality, the United States lags behind countries that spend much less on health.
As Trump and the Republicans in Congress discovered, health care is difficult. The details are devilish, but the big picture is clear: Our system is too byzantine, too expensive, too unfair. Other advanced nations produce better outcomes with single-payer systems that their populations would never trade for ours.
The ACA was a giant step on the road that leads logically to something very much like what Sanders is proposing. Progressives should take the next step by loudly and proudly proclaiming the destination.

DALLAS, February 15, 2018 – Polte Corporation, provider of advanced location solutions for a hyper-connected world, today announced that former T-Mobile executive Ed Chao joined the company as Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The company also completed a multi-million-dollar Series A Funding round which was oversubscribed due to investor interest.
Chao brings more than 25 years of wireless industry and technology leadership experience to Polte. His core responsibilities will include driving the execution of Polte's technology strategy and roadmap, while also building relationships with key strategic partners.
Previously, Chao served as senior vice president of technology strategy and development for T-Mobile. He played a key role in the merger transaction and integration of the company with MetroPCS, where he served as senior vice president of corporate engineering and network operations overseeing the company's nationwide 3G and 4G LTE wireless network. Under his leadership, MetroPCS achieved several industry milestones, including first in the world to deploy commercial 4G LTE and VoLTE.
"I'm excited to have Ed join the team. Ed is an industry leader and seasoned professional with the right combination of industry experience and knowledge that will be critical to the growth of our company and continual advancement of our innovative technology portfolio," said John Dow, CEO of Polte Corp. "We are continuing to attract new partners and prospects, which is a direct result of designing our core technology architecture to meet industry demands. Ed will be pivotal in helping us grow our advantage even further as we expand our market presence.
In January, Polte announced its Lite-Touch Architecture, a patented approach designed to enable location services for the next generation of billions of small, inexpensive and power-constrained mobile devices as they seamlessly move indoors and outdoors. The development of this technology design has enabled the company to attract strategic customer partnerships such as chip manufacturers, IoT solution providers, mobile network operators and IoT enablers eager to ensure legacy location approaches don't hinder the potential of IoT.


This note reports on research investigating whether the ethnic groups of young adolescent New Zealanders are fully represented when data are prioritised so that only one ethnicity per person is counted. Prioritised data reported from the school sector are compared with non-prioritised reported data from the 2006 census, and also with census data when prioritised. The research clearly indicates that the prioritising of data leads to significant understatements in the reporting of proportions of Pacific and Asian domestic students enrolled in our schools.
The article discusses the April 20, 2013 EthnicA Conference held in Auckland, New Zealand which focused on ethnic diversity and leadership in ethnic communities.


We are happy to present you with our 8th (August) edition of The Alpha Source show at Triplag webradio!

Currently located in Princeton, New Jersey, David is available for bookings worldwide.
big thanks to Alpha, Vic and the whole triplag family for having me on the show, it was a blast.... keep up the great work guys!!
you are welcome Dave!! great interview and music!!


Complying with the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard (DSS) is a mandate for all merchants, regardless of acceptance channel and transaction volume. However, some requirements of the PCI DSS are more difficult to comply with than others.
In fact, my investigation of payment card compromises and PCI DSS audits of various merchants demonstrate that requirement 10 - track and monitor all access to network resources and cardholder data - proves especially difficult for merchants involved.
In my research of 350 card compromise cases, more than half of the merchants involved failed to comply with requirement 10. Also, during initial PCI DSS audits of Trustwave's customers, 70% of them needed to remediate deficiencies within their network environment to comply with the 10th rule.
Any entity that processes, stores or transmits payment card information must comply with the PCI DSS. Thus the standard's requirements are at the front of many merchants' minds, but monitoring and logging are basic tenets of any data security plan.
Monitoring and logging network events can strain any organization's resources, but the difference between implementing and not implementing logging measures can determine the severity of a security breach.
Critical files, such as those containing cardholder data or other sensitive information, must be monitored for unauthorized changes. If attackers are able to penetrate a network, they may attempt to add additional user accounts with administrative privileges.
Once attackers have gained administrative privileges, many times they can then access any asset on a network and begin copying sensitive information and sending it off-site.
Regular review of audit logs would alert a merchant or network administrator to foul play. But hackers do not work from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. It's more likely that an attack on cardholder data will take place at 3 a.m. - the perfect time to invade a smaller merchant who doesn't have the resources to maintain a 24/7 security staff. And without continual, real-time monitoring of the logs, an alert may come too late.
Many operating systems provide default software programs that can log this information. However, requirement 10 calls for more than just the recording of events. Merchants must also review firewall, router and wireless access points and authentication server logs at least daily for unauthorized traffic and access attempts.
To complicate matters, depending on the systems running on a merchant's network, each device may perform its own form of logging. Without information technology (IT) staff expertise, it's unlikely these logs would make sense to the average merchant.
Even with in-depth IT knowledge, consolidating logs from multiple devices deployed across an entire network and presenting them in a way conducive to analysis would require a full-time IT employee, if not an entire staff.
The complexity of a merchant's environment also affects the amount of logs that need monitoring.
Without a centralized process by which event logs can be correlated, it becomes increasingly difficult for merchants to gain insight into what's occurring on their networks. While they may have enabled logging on their network devices, they find themselves buried in log data rather than at a vantage point with actionable information.
Fortunately, a number of information security companies have developed automated solutions to help merchants address the challenges of log tracking and monitoring around the clock. By allowing an outside data security expert to take over the monitoring of logs, a merchant not only saves money, but gains peace of mind.
While merchants may be baffled by the barrage of data streaming from their network devices, an experienced data security company monitoring merchants' logs can provide insight into the security status of their networks, and maintaining in-house staff becomes unnecessary.
To show that you're concerned about your merchants' needs, consider using an information security service, along with your payment solutions. Merchants will know you have their well-being in mind because you will be offering not only secure payment services and technology, but also data security solutions that protect their businesses.

One of the things I like to have on hand at all times is Marinara Sauce. This is the basic tomato sauce that I use the most. This got me to thinking that from time to time I would write about foods that I consider "kitchen basics", and this is one of them. It is extremely easy to make, and so worthwhile because it is so versatile. During the time the sauce is simmering you can be doing something else. This is a nice thick sauce that is great with any pasta shape. If you think it needs to be thinned down a little for a particular recipe you can add a little white wine to it. It can also handle the addition of meatballs or sausage, and you can certainly add additional seasonings to your taste.
This recipe makes about 2 quarts (8cups); 3-4 cups will serve 4 over pasta.
In a large sauce pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the celery, carrots, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Saute until the vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, bay leaves and any other seasonings you prefer, and simmer uncovered over low heat until the sauce thickens,about an hour. Remove bay leaves and discard. Season the sauce with more salt and pepper to taste.
I like to double this recipe when I make it, so I can freeze the extra in 2-3 cup portions in freezer bags, or containers; then it's ready when I need some.

Fujifilm have announced a new model to add to their X-series range of digital cameras. Boasting a 24.2 megapixel sensor, colour reproduction technology, automatic scene recognition and a stunning retro aesthetic - it has the potential to be a nice little piece of kit.
But more than that, it seems to be aimed at smartphone camera users.
The X-T100 is quite compact and only weighs 448g. Judging from this promotional video, which places the camera and a smartphone alongside one another, it sure looks like Fujifilm are trying to target consumers who don't think they need a camera when they have a phone.
This is further highlighted in a recent press release about the X-T100, which states that "The 24.2 megapixel APS-C size sensor is 14 times bigger than the sensor inside a conventional smartphone and uses the latest built-in Bluetooth technology, making image transfer quick and easy for sharing with friends."
It's an interesting play, and while it's unlikely that these features will disrupt the convenience that people get from being able to snap and share photos quickly on their phones, I look forward to seeing how it works out for the company.
Some of the other features of the camera include a three-way tilting LCD screen, high magnification electronic viewfinder and a battery life of up to 430 frames.
Fujifilm also have a newly developed autofocus algorithm which allows for faster and more precise focusing.
Fujifilm's X-T100 will be available in a kit bundle with a FUJINON XC15-45mmF3.5-5.6 OIS PZ zoom lens from late June and have an RRP of $1,049. The camera itself will come in black, dark silver or champagne gold.

La Administración Militar en Polonia (en alemán: Militärverwaltung in Polen) se refiere a la autoridad de ocupación militar establecida en el breve período durante e inmediatamente después de la invasión alemana de Polonia (septiembre-octubre de 1939), en la cual los territorios polacos ocupados fueron administrados por la Wehrmacht, en oposición a la posterior administración civil del Generalgouvernement.

Administración militar
La mayoría de los lugares ocupados tenían alguna administración polaca, a menudo ad hoc, creada después de la evacuación del personal oficial. Esos serían rápidamente disueltos por los alemanes, y el control temporal sobre esos territorios fue dado a los comandantes militares de retaguardia (Korück, Kommandant des rückwärtigen Armeegebiets). Los funcionarios civiles (landrats) fueron asignados rápidamente al gobierno de los powiats polacos o grupos de ellos; en las ciudades y aldeas occidentales, los alemanes fueron nombrados alcaldes y vogts, en el centro y el este se aceptaron los polacos.

Hitler emitió las primeras instrucciones sobre la administración de la ocupación el 8 de septiembre. El 8 y 13 de septiembre de 1939, el distrito militar alemán en el área de Poznań fue llamado "Posen", comandado por el general Alfred von Vollard-Bockelberg, y "Westpreußen" (Prusia Occidental), comandada por el general Walter Heitz, se establecieron en el territorio conquistado de la Gran Polonia y Pomerelia, respectivamente. De acuerdo con las leyes del 21 de mayo de 1935 y del 1 de junio de 1938, el ejército alemán, la Wehrmacht, delegó poderes administrativos civiles a los "Jefes de la Administración Civil" (Chefs der Zivilverwaltung, CdZ). El dictador alemán Adolf Hitler nombró a Arthur Greiser para convertirse en el CdZ del distrito militar de Posen, y al Gauleiter Albert Forster de Danzig para convertirse en el CdZ del distrito militar de Prusia Occidental. El 3 de octubre de 1939, los distritos militares "Lodz" y "Krakau" (centrados en Łódź y Kraków, respectivamente) se establecieron bajo el mando de los principales generales Gerd von Rundstedt y Wilhelm List, y Hitler designó a Hans Frank y Arthur Seyß-Inquart como Jefes civiles, respectivamente. Así, la totalidad de la Polonia ocupada se dividió en cuatro distritos militares (Prusia Occidental, Posen, Lodz, Krakau). Frank fue al mismo tiempo nombrado "administrador jefe supremo" para todos los territorios ocupados.

Transición

Bajo los términos de dos decretos de Hitler (8 de octubre y 12 de octubre de 1939), grandes áreas del oeste de Polonia fueron anexionadas a Alemania. El bloque restante del territorio fue colocado bajo una administración alemana llamada Gobierno General.

I love paging through the release notes of new Erlang/OTP releases, especially the sections for the ssl, public_key and crypto applications.

They are a nice enhancement, but I won't be retiring my cipher_suites package just yet: I believe there is value in making OpenSSL cipher selection expressions available in Erlang/Elixir, because they are more expressive and more ubiquitous.

Naomi Watts details "pain" over cancellation of 'Game Of Thrones' prequel
"It's a deep shame, it would have been great fun"

Naomi Watts has spoken of the "pain" felt after the cancellation of her Game Of Thrones prequel show.
READ MORE: Maisie Williams: "Following 'Game Of Thrones' is an impossible challenge"
The actress was due to star in a HBO series taking place thousands of years before the events of Game Of Thrones, before it was cancelled last year.
Watts was set to star alongside Josh Whitehouse in a project from showrunner Jane Goldman, and had finished shooting the pilot episode last year in Northern Ireland.
"I'm sorry," Watts said of the news, addressing fans for news.com.au. "I feel your pain. I equally got into it. I wasn't a huge fan and hadn't seen the shows until I was hired and then completely binged everything within the space of a couple of months and it's just wonderful."
She added: "It's a deep shame, it would have been great fun. But I am not allowed to give anything away I'm afraid."
Josh Whitehouse was also supposed to star alongside Naomi Watts. CREDIT: John Phillips/Getty Images
According to a HBO press release, the series was set to "chronicle the world's descent from the golden Age of Heroes into its darkest hour.
"From the horrifying secrets of Westeros's history to the true origin of the White Walkers, the mysteries of the East to the Starks of legend, only one thing is for sure: it's not the story we think we know."
Elsewhere, another Game Of Thrones prequel is currently in the works, titled House Of Dragon. The series is set to start filming in Watford next year, and will star Paddy Considine as King Viserys Targaryen.
The show will be based on Game Of Thrones author George R.R. Martin's companion novel Fire & Blood, which maps the rise of House Targaryen 300 years before Emilia Clarke's Daenerys starts to fight for the throne.

On Friday, October 13th, President Donald Trump announced payments owed to insurers, known as cost-sharing reduction (CSRs), would be cut-off.

For most people, the durable power of attorney is the most important estate planning instrument available -- even more useful than a will. A power of attorney allows a person you appoint -- your "attorney-in-fact" or "agent" -- to act in place of you – the "principal" -- for financial purposes when and if you ever become incapacitated.
Medicare and Medicaid provide some coverage of the medical portion of home health care. Although the coverage is often inadequate, when combined with other resources available to the older person and his or her family, it may be enough to keep a fragile older person at home for a longer period of time. For an explanation of the coverage of home health care available under Medicare, click here. Medicaid offers very little in the way of home care except in New York State, which provides home care to all Medicaid recipients who need it. Recognizing that home care can cost far less than nursing home care, a growing number of states are providing services to those who remain in their homes.

In Greek antiquity, medicine was second to mathematics. Ancient Greek Civilization was at its peak during the 400's BC. During this period of time, sick people went to the temples dedicated to Asclepius, the Greek god of healing. At this time, a man named Hippocrates began teaching that every disease had only natural causes. He is known as the great ancient Greek physician. In medicine, doctors still refer to the Hippocratic oath, instituted by Hippocrates, who is also credited with laying the foundations of medicine as a science.
Galen built on Hippocrates' theory of the four humors, and his writings became the foundation of medicine in Europe and the Middle East for centuries. The Greek physicians Herophilos and Paulus Aegineta were pioneers in the study of anatomy, while Pedanius Dioscorides wrote an extensive treatise on the practice of pharmacology.
Hippocrates was the first physician known who actually considered medicine to be a science, and to be separate from religion. He wrote the Hippocratic oath, an oath that every new doctor-to-be still says to this day. It reflected Hippocrates high ideals.
Hippocrates of Kos (c. 460 BCÐc. 380 BC) was an ancient Greek physician. He has been called "the father of medicine", and is commonly regarded as one of the most outstanding figures in medicine of all time. He was a physician trained at the Dream temple of Kos, and may have been a pupil of Herodicus. Writings attributed to him (Corpus hippocraticum, or "Hippocratic writings") rejected the superstition and magic of primitive "medicine" and laid the foundations of medicine as a branch of science. Little is actually known about Hippocrates's personal life, but some of his medical achievements were documented by such people as Plato and Aristotle.
The Hippocratic writings introduced patient confidentiality, a practice which is still in use today. This was described under the Hippocratic Oath and other treatises. Hippocrates recommended that physicians record their findings and their medicinal methods, so that these records may be passed down and employed by other physicians.Other Hippocratic writings associated personality traits with the relative abundance of the four humours in the body: phlegm, yellow bile, black bile, and blood, and was a major influence on Galen and later on medieval medicine.
The Hippocratic Corpus is a collection of about sixty treatises, most written between 430 BC and AD 200. They are actually a group of texts written by several different people holding several different viewpoints erroneously grouped under the name of Hippocrates, perhaps at the Library of Alexandria. None of the texts included in the Corpus can be considered to have been written by Hippocrates himself, and one of them at least was written by his son-in-law Polybus. The best known of the Hippocratic writings is the Hippocratic Oath; however, this text was most likely not written by Hippocrates himself. A famous, time-honoured medical rule ascribed to Hippocrates is Primum non nocere ("first, do no harm"); another one is Ars longa, vita brevis ("art is long, and life short").
The Hippocratic face is the change produced in the countenance by death, or long sickness, excessive evacuations, excessive hunger, and the like. The nose is pinched, the eyes are sunk, the temples hollow, the ears cold and retracted, the skin of the forehead tense and dry, the complexion livid, the lips pendent, relaxed, and cold. The Hippocratic face is so called because it was first described by Hippocrates.
In medicine, clubbing (or digital clubbing) is a deformity of the fingers and fingernails that is associated with a number of diseases, mostly of the heart and lungs. Idiopathic clubbing can also occur. Hippocrates was probably the first to document clubbing as a sign of disease, and the phenomenon is therefore occasionally called Hippocratic fingers.
The Hypocratic bench or scamnum was a device invented by Hippocrates (c. 460 BCÐ380 BC) which used tension to aid in setting bones. It is a forerunner of the traction devices used in modern orthopedics, as well as of the rack, an instrument of torture. The patient would lie on a bench, at an adjustable angle, and ropes would be tied around his arms, waist, legs or feet, depending on the treatment needed. Winches would then be used to pull the ropes apart, correcting curvature in the spine or separating an overlapping fracture.
The Hippocratic Oath is an oath traditionally taken by physicians, in which certain ethical guidelines are laid out. It is thought to be written by Hippocrates by some scholars, but this is disputed and instead thought to be written by the Pythagoreans. One traditional version is below but there are others.
Several parts of the Oath have been removed or re-worded over the years in various countries, schools, and societies but the Oath still remains one of the few elements of medicine that have remained unchanged. Most schools administer some form of oath, but the great majority no longer use this ancient version, which praises pagan gods, advocates teaching of men but not women, and forbids cutting, abortion, and euthanasia. Also missing from the ancient Oath and many modern versions are complex, new ethical landmines such as dealing with HMOs, living wills, and whether morning-after pills are technically closer to prophylactics or an abortion.
I swear by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation- to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others.

Part of the query I want to end up with:
SELECT c.contactId, c.artistname g.groupId

LEFT JOIN contact_group cg ON cg.contactId = c.contactId
LEFT JOIN groups g ON cg.groupId = g.groupId

This query gives me a nice overview of the thing I want to end up with except for the rating part.
What I want the rating to be:
The rating is a COUNT on the click_date from the table contact_promo. So for example, if contactId has 3 click_dates set, it has to show 3 next to the query above (shown in the latest grey 'code' section)
What's failing now:
When I JOIN the contact_promo table and add the COUNT(click_date), with a GROUP + ORDER by. It shows all the artists ONE time and ONE group that they're in. I want to see all the groups that one artist is in, because artists can be in more than one group at the same time. What I see now:

A: Try this:
SELECT c.contactId, c.artistname, g.groupId, q.rating
FROM contacts c
LEFT JOIN contact_group cg ON cg.contactId = c.contactId
LEFT JOIN groups g ON cg.groupId = g.groupId
INNER JOIN (
  SELECT cp.contactId, count(click_date) rating FROM contact_promo cp
    GROUP BY cp.contactId
) q ON q.contactId = c.contactId

Or here it is in a fiddle: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!9/212c6/1
Did you want the count of click_dates to also include the ones that are NULL?
Is there any possibility that a contact wont be in a group? if not, they can be inner joins, not left joins.

In this part of the year we..
In the first part of the year we were learning about some biomes and there characteristics. Here is a linck with a popplet I did about some biomes.
We study also of the desert biome has three diferent types: hot and dry desert, cold desert, cold desert. A desert is a place that gets just a bit of rain every year. A desert can be very hot in daytime and cold at night. Here is a popplet.
Other biome is the tundra biome. The tundra is near the North Pole. Trees do not grow there. Winters are very cold. Summers last for a very short time. There are two types: Arctic tundra, Alpine tundra. As the others we did a popplet.
On the other hand we study the tropical raiforest. The tropical rain forest is a forest of tall trees. Rain forests belong to the tropical wet climate group. There is usually a brief season of less rain.
And the last biome is the grassland. Grasslands are characterized as lands dominated by grasses rather than large shrubs or trees. There are five grassland: Savanna, Temperate grassland, Steppe, Pampa and Prairies. And the las popplet.


Loops totaling 8 miles of trail.
The trail includes the Shauger Hill Hiking Trail and the unplowed Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive. It offers views of Lake Michigan and the dunes. For your safety, stay back from the edge of the steep bluff. Pets are not allowed on this section of the trail between December 1 and March 31.
After the snow starts to fly, the Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive is closed to traffic and the skiers and snowshoers take over. This view of the Covered Bridge is near the beginning of the trail.

Following their recent visit to the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh, pupils from Torrance Primary welcomed local MP Jo Swinson into their classroom today.
Jo, who gave a talk to pupils on her job as local Member of Parliament, was delighted by the warm welcome she received from the pupils.
"Even at such a young age, the Primary 7 pupils clearly have a good grasp of local and national issues. They were eager to ask about major political topics such as the Lib Dem leadership election, as well as local issues such as the idea of opening a new Torrance Community Centre.

The timing of when to strike the ball is everything in the wonderful sport of cricket – and also, apparently, in the American pastime of baseball.
An Australian banker is fond of reminding the English how much better his country is at playing cricket.
But his gloating doesn't extend to how well he's been timing dipping in and out of equity markets of late. Like a lot of other "cashed up" people he is suffering from the "if only" syndrome.
"A lot of money seems to be pouring into stock markets because it has nowhere else to go. I didn't expect this run to last as long," he said.
All the moving indicators are pointing upwards with crude above $55/bbl on Thursday where he thought there would be very tough resistance.
"There's so much crude in storage which has been acquired by the financial traders who perceive the economic recovery is just around the corner. This is a big risk.
And in his view, you have to be very careful how you measure "recovery" in the context of the worst economic downturn since possibly the Great Depression.
The first important measure is the effect of inventory adjustments on GDP (gross domestic product) growth.
In the US, for example, total inventory reductions subtracted $50bn from growth in the fourth quarter of last year, he said.
The first quarter adjustments will see a further $100bn or so of production cuts and the second quarter possibly in excess of $150bn.
The collapse of liquidity in Q4 2008 forced companies across all sectors to make much quicker operating-rate cuts and plant closures than occurred at the start of previous recessions.
BASF has reduced is global production by 25%, Bayer Material Science has taken 300,000 tonne/year of polycarbonate (PC) capacity temporarily off-line and Dow Chemical's average operating in the fourth quarter was just 64%.
"I expect some inventory replenishment down many of the production chains in Q3 in the US, and probably elsewhere," he added.
Inventory building in Q3 would need to be measured against consumer spending, he said.
Retail sales on big-ticket durable items such as autos and homes might take longer to bounce back in the West than in Asia. Cost consciousness could also extend for some time to clothing, food and tourism.
Individual wealth has been badly dented by the fall in stock markets relative to their peak and the collapse in housing.
Recoveries in GDP growth in the third quarter of this year would also need to be measured against the same period in 2007 rather than 2008, he added.
The crisis began in the third quarter of 2008.
Any comparison between Q4 2009 and Q4 2008 would be even more misleading as the global economy ground to a virtual halt during the last quarter of last year.
Comparing 2007 with 2009 is crucial for the chemicals industry as new capacity was planned on the belief that growth would continue at levels close to the great boom years.
"Even if were still in a global boom we would still need capacity to shut down," said Paul Hodges, chairman of UK consultancy International eChem.
It could be a very long time before the world economy enjoys another period like 2004-07.
Consumer and corporate credit is likely to remain much more restricted because of financial-sector reforms.
"You also have to look at the potential for credit-card debt going bad to undermine consumer spending and the stability of the banks," the banker added.
"The first quarter results of the Western banks were very misleading. They looked good because of a reduction in competition due to consolidations and bank failures.
"But behind the numbers you could see warnings over just how much bad debt could result from credit-card defaults.
Consumers who are not in danger of default will be eager to pay off their plastic debts rather than incur 20% interest charges, he said.
The other big risk is the rate of recovery on corporate debt that's gone bad. Optimists think it could be as high as 40%, whereas others are warning of returns of as low as just a few cents on the dollar.
There appears to be the risk of a least a double-dip recession – perhaps even three dips.
Commodity chemicals prices started going up before the current equity-market rally.
This followed the deep global production cuts in aromatics, olefins and derivatives and a rebound in feedstock costs.
It's a moot point whether the cuts, combined with delayed start-ups in the Middle East, created genuinely tight markets or just the perception that they were tight.
In the end, though, the result was the same – raising the age-old conundrum of whether sentiment or fundamentals are driving markets.
A danger is that rising crude prices and the stock-market rally could lead to chemicals production being ramped up (if it hasn't happened already), despite the uncertain outlook for consumption.
Confidence can be a dangerous thing.
It's a great deal easier to off-load shares when you think the market has turned than a warehouse full of polyolefins.

What is a Criminal Justice and Legal Degree?
What Kinds of Majors are Available for a Criminal Justice and Legal Degree?
Most criminal justice and legal degree curriculums are relatively similar. They are composed of a general education section and a larger section devoted to the student's major. The general education piece takes about 1/3 of the curriculum and provides students with a well-rounded course load across different subjects. These subjects include mathematics, history, English, and science. The rest of the curriculum will be geared towards the student's major. Most courses involve significant amounts of writing essays. One curriculum that is significantly different, however, is a law degree.
A law degree curriculum is quite different from that of other majors since it is highly specialized. Students spend a majority of their time reading cases and writing briefs (summaries of the case) on them. Many obtain positions as law clerks to gain some experience in the field while studying.
What Levels of Education are Available for a Criminal Justice and Legal Degree?
A criminal justice and legal degree is offered at all levels. An associate's degree in the criminal justice field takes about two years to complete. It is mostly a general education program which gives an overview of criminal justice. A bachelor's degree in criminal justice or legal provides more than an overview of the field and goes into specifics regarding the student's topic of study. Those wishing to advance in their careers can obtain master's degrees or doctorate degrees. Students who are trying to become lawyers must obtain a juris doctorate (JD).
Where Can I Get a Criminal Justice and Legal Degree?
Criminal justice and legal degrees are offered at a variety of locations. They can be earned at any university with an accredited criminal justice and legal program. Those who do not want to attend a brick and mortar school can earn their criminal justice and legal degrees online through various online universities.
Graduates of criminal justice and legal degree programs can become a number of different professions. The law enforcement field is a viable option as graduates can become police officers, correctional officers, FBI agents, among others. Graduates may find work in government creating policy or running for elected office. Those who obtain a law degree can become lawyers, while less advanced degree holders may become paralegals or clerks.
Criminal justice and corrections programs offer general and advanced academic training in fields such as law enforcement, probation, parole, juvenile delinquency, forensics and youth and adult offender treatment.
Homeland security degree programs prepare you to recognize and prevent physical, electronic and financial acts of terrorism and aggression made against domestic entities and American persons and properties on foreign soil. Academic programs cover areas that impact the safety of American citizens such as infrastructure protection, domestic and international relations, intelligence and management and leadership.
Choosing a Bachelor's degree that focuses on law enforcement will teach students to maintain law on both a large and small scale while protecting the public at the same time. The curriculum will help them sharpen their skills in criminal justice, information security and loss prevention.
Law programs are generally administered through law schools at top colleges and universities like Harvard, Yale and Princeton. Pre-law programs are offered at two and four year postsecondary schools. Coursework requirements include criminal law, torts, patent law, copyright, securities regulation, public law and employment law.
Because the needs of students and their academic backgrounds are highly diverse, this degree program is not specific to an individual career. The curriculum is designed to help students pursue a career option or advance in their current careers.
Legal support services college and university programs prepare you to gain employment as a paralegal, legal assistant, legal transcriptionist or court reporter. Areas covered in the programs are administration, law, preparing attorneys for court cases, subpoenas and research.
Paralegal programs generally roll up to Business or Law departments at accredited colleges and universities. Major focus areas in the programs are paralegal studies foundational skills and paralegal studies authority, research and writing.
We're sorry, we currently do not have any Online schools offering Criminal Justice & Legal programs. We are working diligently to add more schools to our database. In the meantime, please click here to see if there are any Campus Schools in your area.


Intelligent Design Theory model of the structure of two H2 hydrogen atoms combined to make a helium atom. This picture of the helium atom has its parts of an atom with its electron and proton charges satisfied. Helium has no attraction for other atoms. Hence, the helium atom is inert - - it has no need to combine with other atoms.
What are the parts of an atom; electrons, protons and neutrons? Neutrons are simply two protons and one electron according to particle physics explained by creation science and a study of Intelligent Design theory. What makes one atom highly reactive and another atom inert? Evolution technology does not explain this, and in fact, evolution technology cannot explain it because evolutionists' concept of an atom is totally unscientific. Creation science is a scientific attempt to understand how an Intelligent Designer created the universe.
The atomic structure of a helium atom is made from two H2 hydrogen atoms locked together in attempting to satisfy the imbalanced charges of the H2 hydrogen atom model. Because of their configuration, the electrons, protons and neutrons charges are satisfied, making the helium atom inert except for a minute imbalance which causes gravity that we will study later. The helium atom is diamagnetic because its outer electrons refuse to orbit the helium atom in concert with the orbiting electrons in a magnet.

Q: How to override a struct in a derived FB I'm stuck while designing a basic FB for our machine using OOP principles.
A machine uses different modules like this:
module1 : BaseModuleFB;
module2 : BaseModuleFB;

A module (some part of the machine) needs data to function (like positions, delays, etc.) This data will be stored in a recipe so grouping the data in a struct makes sence.
FUNCTION_BLOCK BaseModuleFB
VAR
     Data : BaseModuleDataStruct;
END_VAR

Now I have a different machine with some extra requirement. And also some extra data is needed. So I extend the module:
FUNCTION_BLOCK ModuleWithExtraFunctionFB EXTENDS BaseModuleFB
VAR
     Data : ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct;
END_VAR

The code above will not compile because the variable Data is already in use in the base class.
The Data structs look like this by the way:
TYPE BaseModuleDataStruct:
STRUCT
    position1:INT;
END_STRUCT
END_TYPE

TYPE ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct EXTENDS BaseModuleDataStruct:
STRUCT
    position2:INT;
END_STRUCT
END_TYPE

Another option I thought of was creating a property called Data.
This property can be overritten by the derived class.
But this approach also failed because you cannot change the type of the overridden property.
Maybe someone has some nice ideas about this?
Thanks.

A: Why not just move the contents of the struct into the function block:
FUNCTION_BLOCK BaseModuleFB
VAR
    // instead of "Data : BaseModuleDataStruct;"
    position1: INT;
END_VAR

FUNCTION_BLOCK ModuleWithExtraFunctionFB EXTENDS BaseModuleFB
VAR
    // instead of "Data : ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct;"
    position2: INT;
    // you can access both "position1" and position2" here
END_VAR

If you need to have the data in structures, the simplest way would be to just use several structures (as pointed by Fred):
FUNCTION_BLOCK BaseModuleFB
VAR
    Data : BaseModuleDataStruct;
END_VAR

FUNCTION_BLOCK ModuleWithExtraFunctionFB EXTENDS BaseModuleFB
VAR
    // Data is already available here.
    Data2 : ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct;
END_VAR

If you absolutely must access a single structure inside your function block, there is no simple way to do it in a completely enclosed way, however, you could pass the responsibility of defining the struct to the user of the function block and inject it either by using interfaces or pointers:
1. For interfaces, we will use the __QUERYINTERFACE operator.
// An interface with a Method/Property that gives the Data structure
// It needs to extend "__System.IQueryInterface" for us to be bale to use the "__QUERYINTERFACE" operator on it later
INTERFACE IDataProvider EXTENDS __System.IQueryInterface
METHOD GetModuleAData : BaseModuleDataStruct

// An interface extension that adds a Method/Property that gives the extended Data structure
INTERFACE IDataProviderB EXTENDS IDataProvider
METHOD GetModuleBData : ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct

FUNCTION_BLOCK BaseModuleFB
VAR
    _dataProvider: IDataProvider;
END_VAR
METHOD FB_Init: BOOL
VAR_INPUT
    bInitRetains: BOOL; // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    bInCopyCode: BOOL;  // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    dataProvider: IDataProvider;
END_VAR
// Inside the FB_Init method: "THIS^._dataProvider := dataProvider;"

FUNCTION_BLOCK ModuleWithExtraFunctionFB EXTENDS BaseModuleFB
VAR
    _dataProviderB: IDataProviderB;
END_VAR
METHOD FB_Init: BOOL
VAR_INPUT
    bInitRetains: BOOL; // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    bInCopyCode: BOOL;  // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    dataProvider: IDataProvider;
    // We will use the __QUERYINTERFACE operator to "cast" IDataProvider to IDataProviderB
END_VAR
VAR
    success: BOOL;
END_VAR
// Inside the FB_Init method:
// success := __QUERYINTERFACE(_dataProvider, _dataProviderB);

Then in the base methods you should be able to use _dataProvider.GetModuleAData and in the extended methods _dataProviderB.GetModuleBData.

2. For raw pointers, we can just pass them:
FUNCTION_BLOCK BaseModuleFB
VAR
    pdata: POINTER TO BaseModuleDataStruct;
END_VAR
METHOD SetData: BOOL
VAR_IN_OUT
    data: BaseModuleDataStruct;
END_VAR
// Inside the SetDatamethod: "THIS^.pdata:= ADR(data);"

FUNCTION_BLOCK ModuleWithExtraFunctionFB EXTENDS BaseModuleFB
VAR
    pdata2: POINTER TO ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct;
END_VAR
METHOD SetData: BOOL
VAR_IN_OUT
    data: BaseModuleDataStruct;
END_VAR
// Inside the SetDatamethod: "THIS^.pdata:= ADR(data);"
//                           "THIS^.pdata2:= ADR(data);"
// We are assuming that the user passed data of type "ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct" here!!!
// Care needs to be taken here, otherwise we may get access violations!

In your Program on the first run call the SetData methods for both Function Blocks. Make sure you are passing the correct data struct to avoid any access violations!
Then in the base methods you should be able to use pdata^.position1 and in the extended methods pdata2^position2.

3. We could also combine the two for direct access to the structure while retaining the type safety of interfaces:
INTERFACE IDataProvider EXTENDS __System.IQueryInterface
METHOD GetDataAPtr : POINTER TO BaseModuleDataStruct

INTERFACE IDataProviderB EXTENDS IDataProvider
METHOD GetDataBPtr : POINTER TO ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct

FUNCTION_BLOCK BaseModuleFB
VAR
    pdata: POINTER TO BaseModuleDataStruct;
END_VAR
METHOD FB_Init: BOOL
VAR_INPUT
    bInitRetains: BOOL; // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    bInCopyCode: BOOL;  // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    dataProvider: IDataProvider;
END_VAR
// Inside the FB_Init method: "THIS^.pdata:= dataProvider.GetDataAPtr();"

FUNCTION_BLOCK ModuleWithExtraFunctionFB EXTENDS BaseModuleFB
VAR
    pdata2: POINTER TO ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct;
END_VAR
METHOD FB_Init: BOOL
VAR_INPUT
    bInitRetains: BOOL; // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    bInCopyCode: BOOL;  // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    dataProvider: IDataProvider;
END_VAR
VAR
    success: BOOL;
    _dataProviderB: IDataProviderB;
END_VAR
// Inside the FB_Init method:
// success := __QUERYINTERFACE(_dataProvider, _dataProviderB);
// IF (success) THEN
//     THIS^.pdata2 := _dataProviderB.GetDataBPtr();
// END_IF

Then in the base methods you should be able to use pdata^.position1 and in the extended methods pdata2^.position2.

4. If you'd prefer to not use pointers, you can use references instead:
This option was proposed by Stefan Roelofs in a comment below.
INTERFACE IDataProvider EXTENDS __System.IQueryInterface
METHOD GetDataARef : REFERENCE TO BaseModuleDataStruct

INTERFACE IDataProviderB EXTENDS IDataProvider
METHOD GetDataBRef : REFERENCE TO ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct

FUNCTION_BLOCK BaseModuleFB
VAR
    rdata: REFERENCE TO BaseModuleDataStruct;
END_VAR
METHOD FB_Init: BOOL
VAR_INPUT
    bInitRetains: BOOL; // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    bInCopyCode: BOOL;  // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    dataProvider: IDataProvider;
END_VAR
// Inside the FB_Init method: "THIS^.rdata REF= dataProvider.GetDataARef();"

FUNCTION_BLOCK ModuleWithExtraFunctionFB EXTENDS BaseModuleFB
VAR
    rdata2: REFERENCE TO ModuleWithExtraFunctionDataStruct;
END_VAR
METHOD FB_Init: BOOL
VAR_INPUT
    bInitRetains: BOOL; // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    bInCopyCode: BOOL;  // Internal built-in hidden argument. Don't touch!
    dataProvider: IDataProvider;
END_VAR
VAR
    success: BOOL;
    _dataProviderB: IDataProviderB;
END_VAR
// Inside the FB_Init method:
// success := __QUERYINTERFACE(_dataProvider, _dataProviderB);
// IF (success) THEN
//     THIS^.rdata2 REF= _dataProviderB.GetDataBRef();
// END_IF

Then, inside your Function Blocks you may want to use the __ISVALIDREF() operator to validate that the cast/conversion was successful. After that in the base methods you should be able to use rdata.position1 and in the extended methods rdata2.position2.
NOTE: You may get many C0410 warnings:
C0410:  COMPATIBILITY WARNING: A write Access to a Property of type REFERENCE calls the SET-Accessor for versions < 3.5.10.0 and writes the reference, but calls the GET-Accessor for versions >= 3.5.10.0 and writes the value! Use the operator REF= if you want to assign the reference.
If this annoys you, you may disable the C0410 warning in your compiler (Project Settings).

I uploaded an example PLCOpenXML file on GDrive, you can try importing it and play around with it.

Universe 1963
Steel, wood, electromagnets
2090 x 2700 x 280 mm
Edmiston Trust Collection, Auckland Art Gallery.
One of my art teachers put me onto trying to find my own art theory. After many morning walks an idea hit me that seemed like a complete revelation. It was to compose motion, just as musicians compose sound. [The idea] was to lead me far, far away from wanting to excel in traditional art.
Universe is a work that Lye left designs and specifications to the Len Lye Foundation to develop and realize. Many of Lye's kinetic works were unable to be constructed in his lifetime due to lack of technical support and resource, but extensive information remains on his plans for kinetic works.
Originally titled Loop, two electromagnets in the base of this work switch on and off according to a programmed sequence. The pull and release of the magnets creates an unpredictable pattern of motion. The wobbling stainless steel loop occasionally strikes a suspended cork ball, causing it to create, in Lye's words, a weird quavering sound of its own making.
In 1992 this work was selected for the show Territorium Artis, an exhibition dedicated to the 100 most significant art works of the 20th century.
Reference: www.govettbrewster.com/LenLye
Len LYE 1901-1980
Born in Christchurch, Len Lye is known primarily for his experimental films and kinetic sculpture. As a student, he became convinced that motion could be part of the language of art, leading him to experiment with kinetic sculpture and film.
Lye travelled through Australia and the Pacific exploring indigenous art forms before arriving in London in 1926. In London he joined the Seven and Five Society and exhibited in the 1936 International Surrealist exhibition. He began to make his first experimental and animated films. A Colour Box, 1935 was the first 'direct film', made without a camera, to be screened to a general audience. He moved to New York in 1943 where he continued to experiment with 'direct films' until the end of his life.
Lye visited New Zealand in 1968 and 1977. On the later trip he worked with a local team to build sculptures for an exhibition at the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery, New Plymouth. With the success of this collaboration he decided to leave his art collection to the people of New Zealand and established the Len Lye Foundation.
In 2015 the Len Lye Centre opened, adjacent to the Govett-Brewster. It is New Zealand's first museum dedicated to a single artist.
