Arnold Schwarzenegger Wasn't Thrilled With Edward Norton's Training Routine in The 90s
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Edward Norton go far back and they recently teamed up to launch the Frontline Responders Fund.
byMatthew Magnante
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Edward Norton
Bodybuilding icon Arnold Schwarzenegger joined TV host Jimmy Kimmel via video call to discuss what's currently going on in the world. He was once the governor of California so he's no stranger to the discussion of politics and the state of the economy.
Schwarzenegger also had some company too with his mini horse and donkey (Whiskey and Lulu) that he was feeding during the interview.
Then actor/filmmaker Edward Norton joined the conversation of which he told a story about the first time he met Arnold Schwarzenegger. Norton explained that he met Schwarzenegger at a bar at a wedding in the late 90s when the former was training for American History X.
So he asked the 7x Mr. Olympia for some training advice of which he broke down his routine that he did once a day. But the Terminator actor didn't seem to be too impressed and made it very clear that he could be training harder.
"Arnold said you look good, you look trim," Norton explained. I'm trying to put on size so maybe you could give me some advice". "I told him my whole workout and goes yeah that's pretty good are you doing two-a-day and I said no just once-a-day, and he said well that's pretty pussy Ed."
And then Norton talked about the Frontline Responders Fund, a joint venture between him and Schwarzenegger. The goal of the fund is to supply protective equipment for frontline medical personnel and so far, it has raised over $7 million dollars.
"Over 20,000 people have kicked in almost 7.5 million bucks. We've moved almost 8.5 million units of protective gear for various people who are buying them. But the goal is 10 million as Norton explained in the interview. They've made a lot of progress and are taking donations to continue supporting the very important workers during this period.
You can donate to the Frontline Responders Fund here.
Norton joined the conversation at 7:00 if you prefer to skip ahead.

Ennu Ninte Moideen will come to the screens soon
Ennu Ninte Moideen is a film which had raised a fair amount of anticipation right from the announcement of the project as it has a reference with the real life love story of Kanjana and Moideen. The flick will be directed by R S Vimal and the roles of Kanjana and Moideen had been essayed by Prithviraj and Parvathi Menon. The latest theater charting says that it will be on the screens of Kerala on August 7th of this year.
But there was some kind of issue had happened while it was filming as the real life Kanjana Mala came and said that she will commit suicide if the film is released here as she believed that the film is narrating her life story in the wrong light. The real life Kanjana Mala said that the film had included events which had no connection with her real life and also trying to insult her family members and relatives through the narration of the story in a wrong manner. And her threatening of suicide if the film had released make them in a state of confusion and the release itself had been in problem.
But the director of the film said that someone had really make Kanjana Mala misunderstood the situation and he said that they had not included any events which had no connection with her real life story. R S VImal said that they had collected information about the life of Moideen and Kanjana Mala from talking to the brother of Moideen named B P Rasheed. And he told that they never want to and intended to defame or insult any of the family members of Kanjana Mala through the film and the film does not have a single scene which insults or defaming her family.
This love story of Kanjana Mala and Moideen had an epic status in Malabar area which was really happened in the place named Mukkam. R S Vimal had made this same theme into a documentary as well titled Jalam kond Murivettaval. The Kozhikkod district of 1960's has been recreated in this film as well. M Jayachandran had composed the songs for the flick and Jomon T john had cranked the camera for this film.

In this video we will look at how to slice lists and strings in Python. Slicing allows us to extract certain elements from these lists and strings. This can be extremely useful for stripping out certain values from lists or getting a substring of a characters from a string. Let's take a look at a few code examples.

Q: Adding in missing dates from results in SQL I have a database that currently looks like this
Date     | valid_entry | profile
1/6/2015   1           | 1
3/6/2015   2           | 1
3/6/2015   2           | 2
5/6/2015   4           | 4

I am trying to grab the dates but i need to make a query to display also for dates that does not exist in the list, such as 2/6/2015.
This is a sample of what i need it to be:
Date     | valid_entry
1/6/2015   1
2/6/2015   0
3/6/2015   2
3/6/2015   2
4/6/2015   0
5/6/2015   4

My query:
select date, count(valid_entry)
from database
where profile = 1
group by 1;

This query will only display the dates that exist in there. Is there a way in query that I can populate the results with dates that does not exist in there?

A: You can generate a list of all dates that are between the start and end date from your source table using generate_series(). These dates can then be used in an outer join to sum the values for all dates.
with all_dates (date) as (
  select dt::date
  from generate_series( (select min(date) from some_table), (select max(date) from some_table), interval '1' day) as x(dt)
)
select ad.date, sum(coalesce(st.valid_entry,0))
from all_dates ad
  left join some_table st on ad.date = st.date
group by ad.date, st.profile
order by ad.date;

some_table is your table with the sample data you have provided.
Based on your sample output, you also seem to want group by date and profile, otherwise there can't be two rows with 2015-06-03. You also don't seem to want where profile = 1 because that as well wouldn't generate two rows with 2015-06-03 as shown in your sample output.
SQLFiddle example: http://sqlfiddle.com/#!15/b0b2a/2

Unrelated, but: I hope that the column names are only made up. date is a horrible name for a column. For one because it is also a keyword, but more importantly it does not document what this date is for. A start date? An end date? A due date? A modification date?

A: You have to use a calendar table for this purpose. In this case you can create an in-line table with the tables required, then LEFT JOIN your table to it:
select "date", count(valid_entry)
from (
   SELECT '2015-06-01' AS d UNION ALL '2015-06-02' UNION ALL '2015-06-03' UNION ALL
          '2015-06-04' UNION ALL '2015-06-05' UNION ALL '2015-06-06') AS t
left join database AS db on t.d = db."date" and db.profile = 1
group by t.d;

Note: Predicate profile = 1 should be applied in the ON clause of the LEFT JOIN operation. If it is placed in the WHERE clause instead then LEFT JOIN essentially becomes an INNER JOIN.

ISWAP Executions: Don't Let Boko Haram Divide Us, Buhari Tells Nigerians
The Islamic State in West Africa Province (ISWAP) is a splinter group of Boko Haram (Photo: Global Sentinel)
President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed to Nigerians not to let terrorists divide the country along religious lines, following the recent execution of some Christians and Muslims by Boko Haram splinter group, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP).
Concise News reports that the president made the call in a statement by his Senior Special Assistant on Media and Publicity, Malam Garba Shehu, in Abuja on Friday.
Buhari, who was reacting to the reported execution of some innocent citizens, said: "I am profoundly saddened and shocked by the death of innocent hostages in the hands of remorseless, godless, callous gangs of mass murderers that have given Islam a bad name through their atrocities.
Leave That Jungle, Bisi Alimi Tells LGBT Individuals…
Nigerians Reacts To Claims That Chioma Is Not…
"We should, under no circumstance, let the terrorists divide us by turning Christians against Muslims because these barbaric killers don't represent Islam and millions of other law-abiding Muslims around the world.

"As a President, the collective security of all Nigerians is my major preoccupation and the death of an innocent Christian or Muslim distresses me.''
Buhari said the terrorists had no clearly defined agenda except the pursuit of evil through indiscriminate murder of innocent people, contrary to the teachings of Islam, which prohibits massacre.
According to him, no true Muslim will be shouting 'Allahu Akbar' while killing innocent people, an evil frequently condemned by the Holy Qur'an.
"These agents of darkness are enemies of our common humanity and they don't spare any victim, whether they are Muslims or Christians, and therefore, we shouldn't let them divide us and turn us against one another.
"The goal of these psychopaths is to cause confusion and spread distrust between Muslims and Christians, despite the fact that they aren't representing the interest of Muslims or Islam.
"While I condemn this evil, I wish to reassure Nigerians that this administration will not lower its guards in the war against terrorism, and we will continue to intensify our efforts towards strengthening international cooperation and collaboration to break the backbone of these evil doers,'' the president stressed.
Buhari called on all Nigerians to be united against terrorists and avoid unhelpful conspiracy theories that serve the interest of Boko Haram terrorists and ISWAP.

When it comes to drawing, my medium of choice is usually ball-point pens (how basic). I know it's limiting in how you can shade and blend marks, and you can't erase mistakes. But that's what I like most about drawing with a pen – it forces you to deal with the mistakes and turn them into part of your final artwork (Yeah, I went there. Classroom motivational poster, anyone?). It trains me to sketch quickly, but thoughtfully and not dwell on making every mark perfect (there I go again). It also helps me get over the initial fear of starting a drawing and of my perfectionist tendencies.
Everyone should try drawing with a pen…it's actually a great mental exercise. I never know how to end these, yet (#amateur).

Learning Arabic was among the most challenging, emotional, and rewarding experiences of my life. When I arrived in Lebanon, I spent most of my time retraining my tongue and throat and vigorously massaging my head as my brain scrambled to make sense of sounds and sights.
The students living on campus literally became my family. We watched Arabic movies together, went shopping, cried, laughed, and otherwise became siblings. The classes were intimate and engaging, and our professors became our friends. We incorporated current events, history, and culture into our daily lessons and immersions. The administration, pastors at the Middle East and North Africa Union, and neighbors were all a part of our learning process. The church is doing amazing work in Lebanon, especially with health and nutrition, and the University is right in the middle of the action. Everyone was involved and seemed genuinely excited in seeing students learn and grow.
And learn and grow I did. I learned that I couldn't begin to understand the culture or language with assumptions or fears clouding my mind. I learned that it was important to step out of my comfort zone - I could not dismiss everyone or prejudge their perceptions of me. I was challenged to be open - minded, to learn in new ways, to love people I may never see again. As I learned Arabic, I realized that I wasn't just learning a language - I was being stitched into the fabric of an intricately connected family. I hope that with every year more students will have the courage to try, and the family will continue to grow.
My experience abroad was something that was planned at the last minute; therefore, there was not much I was looking forward to except for learning a new language. I had not done much research of the target country, but I knew it was a requirement for my major and I wanted to learn Spanish.
Despite my lack of preparation and a few obstacles, I am happy I went to Argentina and got the opportunity to travel to various places. Although I am still not completely fluent in the language, I learned a lot about the culture, about myself and about others. One of the experiences that stood out to me was the extra time I spent with the kids after my classes were done.
During the first trimester I volunteered at the elementary school to get a deeper feel of the culture and also to immerse myself in the language. Assisting the teachers in the classroom helped a lot especially with little phrases that were not taught in the classrooms. The kids were very sweet and always wanted to talk. Going to the school after my classes was the highlight of my days, and I looked forward to it every day. It was something different and it took me away from the other ACA students. I enjoyed learning the little things I learned on my own, and I am happy I took advantage of the opportunity.
I found that the best way for me to get the most out of my time abroad was to immerse myself in the culture and interact with students who knew much more Spanish than I did in order to improve the language. Fortunately, both of my roommates knew English well-enough in order help me when I got stuck on a word or phrase. There were other friends as well who also helped me out, but the more I practiced Spanish, the better I got and thus the less help I would need. During the summer, I would use what my native friends had taught me in order to help other of my ACA friends who struggled every now and then.
For me the best ways to maximize my year abroad was through immersion and interaction with natives the majority of the time. These two techniques seemed to work best for me because the locals were willing to help me with smaller tasks, which would later work for more grand situations such as traveling or negotiation. It's because of them that I feel better prepared to face every day conversation in a more fluid, proper, and effortless manner.
There were many important tasks I accomplished during my study abroad experience. One of the most important aspects of my study abroad experience was the ability of thinking outside of the box. I would advocate that in order to study abroad, a student needs to be willing to have an open mind and be willing to learn new ways of creative thinking. Prior to leaving for Argentina, I knew how to speak the basics of Spanish and I could express myself fairly well. However, when I set foot in South America, it was completely different. I knew it would be different and I went with an open mind. I had to think about the way I see the world and how the locals of my new "home" see the world. It was a process that was difficult at times, but completely necessary. This experience trained me to be more creative in regards to not only entertainment, but communication as well. Although I knew a lot of Spanish, I found it difficult to communicate with people at first. It was not necessarily that I did not know how to say something; I just didn't know what to say. Of course I was using broken Spanish, but the new people I had met could understand what I was saying. When I went to a friend's home for the Christmas break, I knew I would see a way of living completely unfamiliar to me. I went into it with an open mind and creative thinking and had one of the best experiences of my life. I liked seeing a different perspective of the world and way of living. Overall, I believe that I acquired a lot of my creative thinking skills from my trip in Argentina, solely based on the fact that I opened my mind, and I also believe every student wanting to travel abroad should have this same mind set.
One of the most important aspects of my study abroad experience in France was going early and doing the summer program before the school year started. The summer program was fun and I made some great friends. Also, I felt less nervous and knew what to expect when the school year started.
I would advise anyone who is interested in going abroad to go early either for a summer language program or just to travel and start learning about the culture. It can be very difficult to jump right into an academic program in another country. Another reason to go early is to make friends who live there. My roommate (pictured) was from Denmark and I ended up going to visit her in Copenhagen for my holidays.
As is the case with many new experiences and adventures, I had many memorable experiences while studying abroad in Argentina. The number of "Kodak moments" I experienced while there were numerous, but several in particular stood out.
The first would be when I visited one of my roommates, a native Argentinian, at her home in Patagonia. The region in which she resided lived up to Patagonia's famously windy weather conditions and rustic terrain. Yet the landscape wasn't the only fascinating aspect of my visit with my roommate. Seeing the various differences- and similarities- of an Argentinian family in comparison to my American one was incredibly fascinating. My roommate's parents came home every afternoon to eat lunch with her, and then take a siesta. This practice is of course, unheard of in the United States, but so very valuable for the family unit in Argentina.
Another memorable experience was trying mate for the first time. At first, I was very unsure of what to do. It's not a common practice in the United States, of course, to sip boiling water from the same metal straw with individuals you just met. However, I knew that in Argentinian culture this is considered as a sign of friendship, and it would've been offensive and impolite to decline. Quickly making the decision to partake, when it was my turn to sip the mate, I took a large gulp- and promptly burnt my tongue on the boiling water.
The last outstanding memory I have of that year was exploring Machu Picchu with my fellow study-abroad students. The history and culture of the Incans will never cease to amaze me, or take my breath away. Their history and their culture was cherished in a way that was rare to see demonstrated in Argentina, and sometimes even in our relatively new United States.
Without doubt, these are several experiences that not only stuck out to me then, but that I will carry with me for decades to come, playing a key role in my worldview and perception of life and the differing cultures around the globe.
Everyone who has had the opportunity to travel abroad can list out the advantages and positive aspects they correlate with their travels. Some will point out the new language that was mastered or the different culture that was adopted. However, in my case, there is really only one aspect of my travels abroad that stands out to me.
Sure, I appreciated the wonderful places I visited and the new countries I was able to add to my passport, but for me, the friends I made during my year abroad will be what sticks with me the most. I will never forget the memories we all made together, and the relationships I created still stand strong five years later. These friends will be what keeps my year abroad fresh and alive in my mind.
One of the most important aspects of my study abroad experience was the feeling of "capability" that I achieved. It might sound silly, but once the language clicked, I knew where the local restaurants were, and I had memorized the bus schedule; I felt like a different person. I felt grown up and that I had acquired the ability to handle challenges at a whole new level.
In my last semester at Villa Aurora, I took drama and had a part in the final performance. This was completely out of my comfort zone. I had to act out a part in front of lots of people, but I also had to do it in Italian. . . with my terrible American accent. We practiced, and I battled anxiety. After the show, I knew that I had just done something I never would have dreamed of, and in that moment I realized I could do almost anything I put my mind to accomplishing. I felt capable to attack challenges and succeed in the next phases of my life.
Something that I feel stands out as one of the most important experiences that I had while abroad was a gaining of a broader cultural awareness. By this, I mean that I didn't realize that I was living in a cultural box and a tiny world before I left the country. I didn't realize that everything that I did daily was according to my own set of values and according to my own worldview that I had developed as a result of where I've grown up. By studying abroad in Argentina, I had to forget the customs that I considered "normal" and embrace the customs that are considered "normal" in Argentina. Once I did that, I really enjoyed their way of life and enjoyed comparing it to my own way of life. Their culture focuses more on the "being" aspect as opposed to the United States' concept of "doing" and "progress". Friends and family are extremely important to them, and I learned to slow down and appreciate people more than I ever have. It was a challenge for me to greatly increase my sociability, especially since it was exhausting being constantly with people speaking a foreign language. I have no regrets and would adore to return one day to continue improving my language skills and absorbing the culture.
I think one of the most important aspects in my study abroad experience was the many different people I was able to meet and network with. I got a lot of new friends out of my two years abroad. Not only that, but experiencing a culture different to the ones I was surrounded by growing up and practiced was great.
Learning to get around places and depend on the host country language also opened a lot of new experiences as well, and once getting used to this aspect, I felt my experience much richer – almost as if I was a local myself (many people believed that I was once my German became good).
I was able to fully immerse myself in the culture by being very active on campus and in church. I led children's Sabbath school, was a leader in their Little Lambs program, taught English in a local public school, and became very close friends with a lot of the locals. I think the important aspect in all of this was the fact that I chose to have an authentic experience, rather than always relying on the other North Americans who came to study abroad as well. They tended to stay in a large group and not be as active or social with the local people around us, and I saw this to be a waste of opportunity.
One of the most important aspects of my study abroad experience was my exposure to different cultures and languages. I learned Spanish to an advanced level, which is great in and of itself. However, it was my exposures to other cultures via my travels and friendships I made that increased my open-mindedness and acceptance of the diversity in the world. Observing, experiencing, and learning about new cultures widened my worldview and taught me to respect others' ideas and perspectives despite the large differences we had.
My travels helped me experience the atmosphere, food, language, and culture in different places around Europe. However, the friendships I developed with people from different countries that lived on the Sagunto campus helped me get a deeper understanding of the views different cultures have of certain topics, as well as the meanings behind cultural practices and linguistic phrases. While traveling was an excellent experience, I believe the personal relationships led to a deeper understanding of certain cultures.
My study abroad experience would not have been as beneficial or rewarding if I had not been able to visit new places and learn more about certain cultures in depth. The language skills learned are extremely valuable, but the knowledge I acquired was much broader than just linguistic skills.
Traveling and studying abroad for a year has many beneficial aspects, but for me the one thing I enjoyed most about being abroad was the time we actually spent traveling. I think that traveling was not only fun but one of the most important parts about being abroad. We were able to experience not only Argentinian culture but also Peruvian and Brazilian culture as well. Also since we did go to an Adventist school while in Argentina, some of the customs and ways of life are not completely foreign to other fellow Adventists. At least for me, I felt I could understand why some of the things were done a certain way. But when we left the school and traveled to different cities, we were just considered Americans, and we got to see how the native people really lived and acted.
This morning I walked to the café tango, the café about three kilometers from the school. On my wayI take in the picturesque scene as I pass the different local companies and apartment buildings. I pass the bakery were signora Silda bakes the most delicious bread every morning; she always laughs about the first time I ate breakfast in her shop which was also the first time I ate the famous saltless Tuscan bread. I pass the small shoe store with outdated shoes that are way too expensive, and the grumpy storeowner gets mad every time someone spends too much time looking at his window. I come to the bank where I withdraw the colorful differently shaped euros. I pass the post office where I signed up to become a student resident of Italy. Finally I come to my café, the owners are Argentinian, and they even know the small town where my grandma is from. I love this café because I can order a yummy café latte, relax and listen to cultural music. Today as I sip my drink and greet the people who come in, I close my eyes and try to keep this moment in my mind, because a year ago I was dreaming of this moment, and a year from now I will be remembering the many times I walked to my favorite café in Florence Italy.
There is nothing more exciting than being able to speak in another language. You never realize how important communication is until you have to really work hard to do it. My goal for my year abroad was to learn Italian. I knew that I wasn't going to be fluent, because realistically becoming fluent takes two years. But I just wanted to get to the point of being able to speak and listen without having to think; just letting it happen naturally. Near the end of my year abroad I was walking downtown not wanting to leave at all. I was hearing people speak in Italian and didn't even think about it being a "different language", it just felt normal to hear. I walked by the Uffizzi and saw my favorite artist selling his beautiful paintings. Throughout the year we had had several talks that were always great, but unfortunately they tended to be more one sided.
This time however was different. He smiled at me and I walked over to him and we started talking. He asked me how I was doing and I said I was ok, but that in two days I was leaving to go back home to the United States. I didn't even have to tell him I was sad or didn't want to leave. He just looked at me and told me, "Don't be sad signorina. You are so young and have lived such a beautiful year here! You have accomplished so much and have so much more to do in your life. Look back at this year and smile at all your beautiful memories." I thanked him for his kind words and we talked for a little bit longer before I left. It wasn't until I was back on the bus headed to the Villa that I realized I had a full conversation without having to think! I had truly accomplished my goal! It was the most amazing feeling in the world.
Studying abroad is an amazing experience that has the potential to positively affect the life of anyone who goes. I am a Health Science major and I can personally say that studying in Argentina last year has had a huge impact on my life.
When I went to Argentina, I had never travelled much out of the country and only knew that I wanted to learn Spanish better so that I could use it later in my profession of Occupational Therapy to talk to my patients one-on-one.
After Argentina, I found that I was a stronger person who had a new appreciation for different cultures and their beliefs. I believe that this experience has helped me turn into a better person that now has better life and social skills that can be used in any work place.
Going abroad was the best decision of my life and I cannot talk about it enough. I had so many experiences that helped shape me and enable me to be more mature. I think the most influential experiences I had were the trips I made by myself in Europe. These solo traveling trips made me more confident and empowered.
I took a trip to Paris by myself while I was abroad and that was the most valuable trip ever. I decided to go to France by myself for the weekend and do activities by myself. I took a night train to Paris and arrived in the morning. I took the subway all the way to my hotel despite not knowing a word of French. I went out, took photos, visited museums and Versailles all by myself. I was nervous at first but after my weekend in Paris I have not been afraid to do things alone, a valuable skill I have learned.
This is such an important self-discovery that we do not have often. You will hear stories about people backpacking Alaska or running from one end of the coast to the other. As Americans we have become used to doing everything in groups and we are so many, yet in Europe I learned that I am able to do things on my own. Going abroad gives you that opportunity to push yourself outside of your comfort zone and really get to your core. Get to know yourself and who you are when everything that defined you back at home is taken away.
The people are very friendly. But usually you have to initiate the conversation in order to get the kind of reaction we take for granted in the U.S. (i.e smiling).
Water is like Gold. If you happen to find some it's like the baby Jesus kissed you.
Air conditioning does not exist.
Gelato is on every street corner.
Obese people are like diamonds. Very rare.
Transportation is very simple. Everything is very close, so your feet or the bus will suffice for any of your excursions.
Hands for Italians are like a second mouth. Gesticulating is a sure way for you to tell the exact point they're trying to get across to you.
When all else fails, speak Spanish.
The pasta and pizza are more delicious than anything you'll ever taste.
Gypsies are very crafty and creative characters. One day you'll see a "helpless" old lady with a cup on the street begging; the next day you'll see said lady walking around heavily "pregnant" with a Prada bag.
Do not buy anything around main attractions/ landmarks. It's a ploy to con unsuspecting tourists. Most of the time things are overpriced and you can find the same deal a bit further into the city for cheap.
For the ladies, be careful with smiling at just any man. Italian men are a bit more aggressive than American gentlemen and they will catcall and whistle, even follow you around the city. It can be intimidating but a good "go away!" often does the trick.
Adaptation to another culture is very difficult, especially when you're miles and miles from home. However, that helped me understand and feel comfortable in a surrounding that was unfamiliar to me was, firstly, remembering that things would not be at all like America; and the sooner I made that a reality in my mind the more comfortable I would be. All in all my experience was something I'll remember forever, and I will feel blessed for the opportunity to have traveled and learned another language. By the grace of God, I know I'll be able to expound upon these skills and utilize them in the future.
Studying abroad has enriched my life in so many ways. First and foremost, I learned a new language. I also learned how to stretch myself out of my comfort zone. Finally, I learned how to adapt to any situation I find myself in.
Learning a new language is absolutely necessary in the world we live in. The world is becoming more of a global community and it is essential we are able to communicate with the various people we come in contact with. Learning another language will immediately make you more attractive to any job you apply to and also looks fantastic on a graduate school resume.
The ability to stretch your comfort zone is something I really cherish from my time abroad. I did things that I never would've thought to do back in the states but my life is richer because of them. Going abroad opens your eyes to new possibilities and things that never would've crossed your mind before.
Adaptation is something we as Americans sorely lack. Going abroad has turned me into something of a cultural chameleon. I'm able to blend in with any culture I find myself in because instead of acting like I know what's going on, I simply listen and observe. This skill has saved me from embarrassment plenty of times and has allowed me to make new friends, explore new places, and have plenty of exciting experiences that never would've happened if I didn't adapt to my situation. There you have it. Three great reasons to study abroad.
Now, what are you waiting for? Go!
Studying abroad is like nothing most people have ever done. It is not like a long vacation. It is not like your high school's Europe tour. It is not like your church mission trip. I get the feeling that every person that feels like they have done a mini version of a study abroad year by just taking a vacation or mission trip or whatever. It is nothing like that.
I can't explain in a short essay the significance of seeing famous paintings or hiking through the Swiss Alps. I can't explain how much you gain by being put into new situations while travelling through countries on a train.
At the end of the school year I remember everyday climbing part of the way up Le Salève (the mountain behind the school in France). Each night a group of us would go and look over the Geneva Valley. It was beautiful. We talked each night about our favorite parts of the year, we played music, we drank tea or we just sat in silence. The friendship between that group of people was the reason it was so great. Those were some of the greatest moments of my year because of the friendship.
So, I've been thinking again about my study abroad experience. I know, I know, some of you are probably tired of hearing about it, but I really want to emphasize how valuable it is in my life and how valuable it can be to you.
A few years ago I went to Spain for a year to study Spanish. I thought I would just be going there to learn the Spanish language and possibly also flamenco dancing, when I left Spain however, I had gained so much more than that. At the school I attended there were students from all over the US, Europe and even South America. I learned about aspects of their culture that before I would have thought silly had anyone told me, I learned how silly some people thought that our customs and cultures are. An example would be with Peanut Butter. I did not realize until going abroad how "American" peanut butter was. While peanuts are used in many dishes around the world, many people would never consider putting them of bread and making a sandwich. A friend I made who was from Africa really thought this concept was strange. There is a peanut sauce on a traditional dish from her country, but to her putting it on a sandwich was just not doable. Though this may seem like a trivial difference there are many more differences that could be much more confusing and could hinder your ability to effectively communicate with other cultures.
Well that's all for this letter. Until next time!!
Studying abroad. The phrase conjures up so many feelings and so many experiences. Which one to choose? Well the first feeling that comes to mind is the feeling of waking up in the morning to a nice carton of French yogurt and the smell of hot cocoa. I would eat my yogurt and my delicious French muesli while observing the sun rise over the beautiful valley of Geneva. The snow-capped mountains of the Jura sparkled in the distance, and were tinted with the colors of the rising sun. A feeling of excitement, and newness was awakened in me every morning. I had a day laid out before me, and it was mine to learn as much as I possibly could. I would then begin to study my homework, after which I would read a book in French. I had gone to a book sale/book give away and had acquired many books for free. Since I love to read, I spent much time pored over the books, while looking up all the words I didn't understand. Then I would go to class, eat lunch and come back to my room. If it was sunny out, I would take a blanket and go to my favorite spot in France. I would climb a hill, the highest perch I could find, in the middle of a large field full of wildflowers. From my spot on the hill, I could see the entire valley, as well as the Salève, which stood right behind me with its looming, awe-inspiring face of sheer rock. I would spend hours there on the blanket, reading and soaking in the fresh air. If I think about France hard enough, I just might be able to catch a whiff of the clean mountain air.
Living in Spain for an entire school year was definitely an adjustment. As time went by, I found myself becoming a true Spaniard. I had adapted to the lifestyle- siesta, walking into town, the "don't worry about it" (no pasa nada) attitude, etc. I'm so glad I got to experience a different culture from that of my own. It was an eye-opening experience. It was interesting to compare and contrast my hometown to Spain- from work, holidays, food, and the people.
Studying abroad is way more than having fun. It's more than academics and learning a language. It's more than traveling and making new friends. Studying abroad is all of that and more; it's an opportunity that many never get to experience. It's a shortcut to your future. It's something your mind can't fathom, you can sit, plan, and pry on what your experience abroad could be but until you go out and do it you'll never know. I could share story after story, and I can give advice until my tongue falls out. I can cringe at every negative moment and I can smile at every good one but that still won't paint the picture on what studying abroad is or does for you as an individual. Growth comes from studying abroad, a new perspective comes from studying abroad, memories you'll never forget come from studying abroad, change comes from studying abroad, a sense of direction comes from studying abroad, knowledge comes from studying abroad, and appreciation comes from studying abroad.
I remember one particular day in France like it was yesterday. The other IFLE's and I had just finished visiting the castle at Versailles and were taking a bus tour around Paris. My new friend Carlo and I were looking at the sights when he leaned over and said "You know, Paris is the perfect city for writing stories." I agreed, and as we drove past the magnificent Seine River we made one up as we rode along. That was in October 2011. Since then, I have learned to speak French a lot better, took and passed the DELF exam, moved in with a French family and worked as an au pair, and returned to the United States. But that one statement continues to resonate with me: "Paris is the perfect city for writing stories."
I am a Mass Communications: Writing and Editing major, and when I went to France I had no idea how to use my new gift of the French language and my major together. Of course, for a writing major learning another language is helpful because it opens the door to more variety in your writing career. I kept a journal while in France and documented as many memories as I possibly could. For a writer, any new adventure is an opportunity to share your memories with the world. If you study abroad, you can be the doorway that leads those who cannot study abroad into a world of mystery and opportunity. You become their eyes, their feet, their heart, because through your words and your experience they can be where you once were. Think about the apostle Paul, who traveled to different parts of the world and wrote about those travels. Those experiences made it into the Bible, and I can understand Damascus, Corinth, Thessalonica, and other places, although I have never been myself. So, if you are a writing major and you think to yourself: "Going abroad won't do anything for me", think again. You already have the gift of words, and with an experience like studying abroad to help bring those words to life through experiences, the writing possibilities are endless.
Oh, and the croissants are good, too.
Have you ever felt insignificant against something grandly magnificent?
Although we can fly to the moon and talk face-to-face to China from Costa Rica, as human beings we have to still respect nature's awesome gifts. The Waterfalls at Iguazú don't ask for respect, but demand it.
The trip centered around the Parque Nacional Iguazú, and visiting the spectacular Iguazú Falls inside. The park didn't disappoint. All kinds of exotic animals popped up, offering perfect photo opportunities: anteaters, iguanas, spiders, monkeys, caimans, jungle birds, and capybaras. The walks were hot and sticky, but a smooth river raft ride provided a welcome break.
But everyone really comes for the falls. The river just drops off into over 275 waterfalls and is so big and wide, you have to fly with a helicopter to take a picture in its entirety. My group took two days to see all of it. The first day we visited The Devil's throat, the most powerful waterfall. I oohed and awed with the rest of the group, but nothing could've prepared me for day two.
San Martin Falls is probably something like heaven. This is the screensaver shot, from where Avatar and Jurassic Park stole their ideas. Falling over a blanket of green water plants, the beautiful cascades are framed by palm trees and mist.
Then we saw the boats.
"Are we going to do that?" I asked our guide, pointing at the orange boats zooming through the gorge toward the waterfalls, soaking its passengers. "Yes, we will be doing the Grand Adventure today," he replied. OH, YEAH! GRAND ADVENTURE TIME!
Everyone was stoked. The water was a bit lower that day, so we got up closer than usual, our little toy of a boat dunking us beneath the sprays of water. I felt so small underneath the waterfall, everyone screaming and laughing with sheer delight while getting pounded in the face with water. You want to see a happy human being? Dunk them under a world-class waterfall. We sped down the river for a bit afterwards, still on the natural high.
Now that is why I chose South America, I thought to myself.
I really enjoyed hanging out with all of the ACA students on this trip. There wasn't much to do but swim in the campground pool after our jaunts into the national parks. After four months, we were forced to visit with each other and finally got to know our fellow classmates better. Right before the trip, one of the ACA students lost his father a few weeks ago, and it shocked everyone. We prayed together, cried together, started weekly prayer groups. I realized even though I don't know every one of my classmates intimately, when one of us suffers a loss, we hurt too. I think that was a turning point. What was everyone going through? We actually cared now. That week I helped organize a week of prayer. We now knew how much we needed each other. This one trip will always have a special place in my heart, whether I'm remembering playing tag in the pool, deep conversations with friends, or the sheer glee of actually seeing, hearing, touching, tasting the most amazing waterfall in the world.
When I was sophomore at Union College, I had no desire to continue with my then current major, which was Biology, Pre-Dentistry. I was also feeling burnt-out with my college experience. I felt like I needed to do something exciting and worth doing. I then decided that I would go abroad for the year. I had three big goals that I wanted to achieve, 1) I wanted to use the year to make up my mind as to what I wanted to do with my career. 2) I wanted to learn French. 3) I wanted to travel a lot. At first it seemed like I would only accomplish one of the three goals that I had set, because learning French was way harder than I had anticipated, and I kind of forgot about what I wanted to change my major to because I was having a fun time in Europe.
During my spring break I realized that I had accomplished all of the goals that I had set for myself. I had been constantly traveling for well over 3 weeks and I was tired of it. I seemed to catch myself actually speaking French every time I would go to Geneva. Having commented to my friends that I wanted to change my major they all gave me some advice and they pointed me in the right direction. It had all worked out nicely and but I wasn't quite ready to go back home.
I would like to say that if any student is feeling like they are lost and they don't know what they want to major in or if they don't like what they are majoring in that they take a year off and that will help them decide what to do. That year abroad works wonders because you learn a new language and you gain a lot of different experiences that help you view the world in a different way. Those experiences that you gain could be helpful to you in the future when you're dealing with people of different backgrounds.
I can still remember the first day of arrival to Italy. After a whole day of traveling, I was ready to lie down and sleep. I arrived in Italy around 11 pm, their time, which was 5pm back home, so I was definitely jet lagged. The first impression I got when I stepped off the plane was how lit the place was for it to be late at night. Then I met up with the people from Villa who were there waiting to pick me up, and I was like "wow, they don't look Italian". They weren't in fact. It was a guy from Peru and a guy from Nigeria, who were theology students at Villa.
While riding to the school, I saw a lot of similarities to Colombia, my home country, and it was relieving and nostalgic at the same time. I knew then that I would be okay and I would enjoy my year in Italy, which I did. I also remember thinking how narrow and disorganized the streets were, but now that I'm back in the US, I do miss the rustics of the place. At the very end of the year, I took a stroll around the campus and I realized how a strange place became a familiar place filled with memories. I came to understand that an experience is what you make it to be; it's your choice how you want your experience to be remembered as.
For me, traveling abroad through the ACA program was a dream come true. The dream started small: I just wanted to learn German fluently. I also wanted to travel Europe, but this was more of a side note for me, until I actually arrived. It was unbelievable, the vast amount of cultural diversity, just miles away from border to border. If this does not want to make you explore, nothing will.
The vast amounts of people with completely different mindsets you will meet, if you get out of your shell, will prove to be one of the best experiences of your life. This is all icing on the cake. Sometimes it will be rough, and then you will have to rely on God more. Some people have to experience hardships before they turn to God. That doesn't have to be you. Either way, Europe will be one of the best experiences in your life. I can promise you this.

A GoPride Interview
Jane Wiedlin
Jane Wiedlin interview with ChicagoPride.com
Wed. August 11, 2010 by Anthony Meade
Interviews & Voices Music
Jane Wiedlin first made her mark as the rhythm guitarist of the history making 80's band the Go-Go's. Jane wrote the Go-Go's biggest hit "Our Lips are Sealed" from a love letter she'd received. She also co-wrote some of the GO-GO's biggest hits including "Vacation" and "Head Over Heels".
Jane left the Go-Go's in October of 1984 to persue a solo career. Her self-titled first solo album,was released in May of 1985.
In 1988, Jane released her second solo album "Fur" which spawned her top ten hit "Rush Hour" and the song "Tangled", was on the sound track for "Pretty Woman", one of the biggest selling soundtracks of all time.
Wiedlin has also acted in movies and provided the voice for several characters on TV and the big screen, including
Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. Her other roles included Joan of Arc in the comedy "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure", a singing telegram girl in the film "Clue" and the White Fairy in Golan-Globus's "Sleeping Beauty".
After a series of reunions during the 1990s with the Go-Go's, Jane put together bands such as Frosted and Jane Wiedlin and the Downtown Sensation. In April 2009, Jane connected with director Steve Balderson for Stuck! - an homage to film noir women in prison dramas. Co-starring Karen Black, Pleasant Gehman, Susan Traylor, and cult icon Mink Stole.
Jane continued to tour with the Go-Go's throughout 2000. In 2009, the Go-Go's announced their "Happily Ever After Farewell Tour" to be held in July, only to later cancel the tour due to ACL tears in both of Jane's knees. She suffered in a fall while on a hike near her San Francisco home. Jane's lastest endeavor, a comic book called "Lady Robotika" written with Bill Morrison, famous as being part of the Simpsons/Futurama team for the last 20 years, is the adventures of a woman, basically Jane herself, being abducted by aliens and turned into a superheroine off to fight the evils of the galaxy.
She is now writing issue number three and took some time out to chat with ChicagoPride.com about it!
AM: Congratulations on your Lady Robotika comic book! You are now writing issue three. Tell me a little about this project. How did it came about?
JW: I met Bill Morrison, my writing partner, at the SuperCon comic convention in San Jose 3 years ago. We became good friends almost instantly and wanted to collaborate on a project together. Bill is famous as being part of the Simpsons/Futurama team for the last 20 years so we decided to create a comic book about a superhero based on me!
AM: What do you like most about what you have accomplished so far? You've had great reviews about Lady Robotika. Are you happy with the way things are going so far?
JW: There have been a lot of exciting happy moments working on Lady Robotika. I was nervous at first because I'd never written a comic; In fact, I hadn't even read very many comics, but when I dove in and started writing, I found it felt very natural. It came from the same place in my brain/soul as writing songs. In fact, now it all makes sense to me, since songs are basically 3 minute short stories, and comics are illustrated short stories.
So, I find the act of creating absolutely thrilling. Besides that, holding the first issue in my hands for the first time made me cry, I was so happy! I find it very rewarding to think of an idea, work on that idea through fruition, then hold the finished product. I'm kinda simple that way!
AM: Where do the story lines come from?
JW: We created a story arc when we started 3 years ago that would explain how Lady R came to be. It starts out firmly rooted in my real life, then veers off wildly into my fantasy world!
AM: Any undertones of what's going on with Lady Robotika that's going on with Jane Wiedlin?
JW: It's more what is going on in my head. My whole life I've been obsessed with sci-fi, with robots, aliens, outer space, flying saucers, you name it! To be able to work in a medium where I get to write about these things is beyond fun!
AM: When you started this project, did you know all the time and energy and process that goes into making a complete comic issue?
JW: I had no idea. It is a herculean task making a comic book this beautifully done. I love the artwork so much, but of course I can take ZERO credit for that; it's all Bill and the artists that help him like Tone Rodriguez on Issue 1 and Jeff & Phil Moy on Issues 2 and 3. There are so many people involved in the process of comic book-making. Besides the pencillers (sketches), there are the inkers (finished drawings), the colorists, the letterers (who put in the dialogue bubbles and all else to do with printed words), the cover artist, PLUS the writers of the stories (that's me and Bill) and then the editors & publishers and all the business people after that! It is insanely expensive to make a product that retails for $3.00! Bill & I are just stubborn and in love with Lady Robotika, and hope to keep telling her story, while she basically bankrupts us!!
AM: Tell me a little bit about your writing and developing Lady Robotika with Simpsons illustrator Bill Morrison. What is the process?
JW: First we created the arc of the first storyline (how Jane W becomes Lady R). Then there is the "constructional" work, of splitting the story into 6 separate issues, then splitting each issue into 22 pages of story, then each page into multiple panels (usually 1 to 8) of art. This is just the MECHANICAL part of the story telling. Then you have to have a great story that stands alone for each issue, and be able to tell it through pictures and a limited amount of words (mostly dialogue).
AM: You go to alot of the Comic-Con Conventions. I bet you have met alot of freaks, right?
JW: Not really. Mostly people who are geeks (like me!) are kind, thoughtful and respectful. I have met lots of people I admire, and made many good friends there.
AM: I know that you are a HUGE Sci-Fi fan. You've written songs about it, been in Star Trek, are an avid collector and now have a comic book about it. What is it about aliens and the far away gallaxies that excite you?
JW: The idea of other worlds and other life forms completely different to our own is very appealing to me. I am an explorer at heart.
AM: Would you ever "hook up" with an alien if you met one?
JW: HELL YES! And if any came to Earth and offered to take me away with them, I would definitely go!
AM: What are some of your favorite Sci- Fi series and or movies?
JW: Star Trek: especially The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine, Star Wars: especially the original trilogy, Blade Runner, Firefly, Serenity, Battlestar Galactica (remake series), Dollhouse, Buffy, Defying Gravity, Galaxy Quest, True Blood, Total Recall, Terminator movies and TV show, etc etc etc. [laughs]
AM: If you could be any character past or present OR make one up of your own, in a STAR WARS film who would you be and why?
JW: Han Solo. He is a risk-taker and an adventurer, and he has is own spaceship and is super hot!
AM: Recently you were trying to save your Light Saber as you were falling down a 20 foot cliff... you DID save it didn't you?
JW: I DID save it! My knees, not so much!
AM: Being that Prop 8 was just overturned in California, I wanted to ask: Do you think that there are gay aliens?... and what would they think of the way that there are limits on what gay and lesbians can and can't do?
JW: There is documentation of homosexual behavior all over the natural world, of course it only makes sense that the natural world is more than just Earth. Any extraterrestrial species that had the brains to get to a planet as far away as we are would think it was ridonkulous to deny certain people basic civil rights based on who they love, in my opinion.
AM: The Go-Go's came from the LA punk scene in late 1978 when there were all the freaks, misfits, homos and all the other people that didnt fit in... was there a huge gay movement in Calfornia at that time?
JW: I know when I joined the punk scene of Hollywood in 1976 it was a group of ragtag misfits, including girls, homos, artists and rebels. Most of us fit in more than one category. Much like the hippy movement of the 1960's it was all about creative expression and being yourself. We just LOOKED a lot different than hippies!!
AM: What is your outlook on the entire Proposition 8 ordeal?
JW: There are so many people in this country with the most ARCHAIC attitudes about things, and the passing of Prop H8 is just one huge example of that. And now, even though the court overturned H8, the things I've read online indicate that there are millions of people out there who consider it their life's mission to make sure others don't get the liberties they so carelessly enjoy (and ABUSE). I think we have many battles ahead, still.
AM: Why did you decide to become a legally ordained minister? Are you avalible for weddings?
JW: When marriage became legal for everyone in California, I was very happy for my many GLBT friends and wanted to be able to legally marry them. Just when I became an ordained minister, Prop H8 passed and that right was once again denied my friends. I am happy that there are other states and countries that recognize same sex marriages, and yes, I am available to all orientations for non-religious weddings! If anyone would like me to officiate their marriage ceremony, they can go to my website, janewiedlin.com and click on "weddings." I just lowered my officiant fee to celebrate the good news about Prop H8 being overturned.

A typical childhood disease in children chicken pox is very notorious for being contagious. A kid infected with chickenpox virus will develop numerous itchy blisters which are filled with fluid. These blisters burst later, which lead to crusts formation.
Children get approximately five hundred such blisters which grow over a red skin spot. They show up on the face first and then spread to the trunk, scalp and the rest of the body. After a day of appearance, the fluid filled blisters become cloudy and later on, scabby.

Silvia Barban
LaRina Pastificio
From LaRina Pastificio e Vino | Brooklyn, NY
Silvia Barban was born and raised in Northern Italy where she learned to combine the region's rich cuisine —butter, cheese and olive oil — with the fresh tastes of her mother's southern Calabrian heritage.
From "E.Maggia" Stresa culinary school, Barban began to find her way in the kitchen of the Maestro of Italian cuisine, Gualtiero Marchesi. She worked as a pastry chef, learning to cook modern and traditional dessert for Giancarlo Perbellini, and later moving into the kitchen as chef de partie. In 2012, she made the move to New York for the opening of Giovanni Rana Pastificio e Cucina. She was originally meant to be a part of a three-month consulting team, but stayed on as sous chef, relishing the opportunity to work in Manhattan. After two years, Barban received an offer to become executive chef at Aita in Brooklyn, and has directed the restaurant using fresh local produce to create traditional and modern Italian dishes from her native Italian heart. Barban is currently the Executive Chef and co-owner of LaRina Pastificio & Vino, a pasta focus restaurant in the heart of Fort Greene. In 2016, she competed in Season 14 of Bravo's TOP CHEF.
We caught up with Silvia when she stopped into Edmonton to get to know her better and see what's cooking with Switzerland Cheeses!
Question: What is it about New York that keeps you there? How does the city inspire you as a chef?
Answer: It's a melting pot. I love learning every day from each person and each soul that surrounds me. Everyone is so different and unique in New York, and it's full of individuals who you can learn so much from. Also, the infinite opportunity that the city provides. There are so many talented chefs and restaurateurs here, utilizing different flavours and products. This place keeps my mind rolling with each day each different dish I try.
Q: When you came to the U.S. from Italy, how old were you and why did you make the move?
A: I came to the U.S. when I was 23 years old. I made a move because I wanted adventure and to bring my culture to and food to the U.S. I was excited about learning from new people, new chefs and starting a new life in a new country!
Q: What kinds of dishes did you grow up learning to make?
A: I grew up learning making pasta, pizzoccheri is one of my favourite dishes to prepare. My Grandma taught me about polenta and my aunt from Calabria taught me about Arancini and fish preparation.
Q: When you visit home, what are your favourite things to do? Things to eat? Ingredients to buy?
A: When I visit home I love going to see the farms around my little village. I like to go to see animals, to forage mushrooms or whatever is in season, I like staying in nature and also visiting the traditional and local spots I love, as well as nearby Michelin restaurants. I always go to my old boss Giancarlo Perbellini's in Verona, a city that will forever stay in my heart.
Q: Who taught you to be personally passionate about food and culture?
A: It was my aunt — she instilled such love and adoration of food in me because the lessons were taught to me with fun and love. It made the process of learning about food enjoyable and ultimately I think it's that family connection to cuisine which has inspired me to keep going.
Q: How vital is cheese to your menu?
A: Cheese is essential, I love cheese! I always try to have tons of available varieties of cheese from cow to sheep or buffalo to choose from, because sometimes people aren't able to eat cow's milk cheese and also because I love the tart taste of one cheese for some dishes, vs the sweet tastes that happen when other types of milk are in play.
Q: What are your favourite Switzerland Cheeses to cook with and why?
A: Raclette is one of my favourite cheeses. I worked in Montana for a summer season and fell in love with that melting cheese! I also enjoy Tete De Moine, I like the taste and let's face it, it's fun to play with. Formaggio D'alpe is also one that I really like.
Q: What unique traits do Swiss cheeses have from those around other parts of the globe?
A: I think the cheeses in Switzerland are different from others because of the way the animals are treated and what they are eating. It's a beautiful process; the cows are eating free-range natural grass, it makes for healthy fatty dairy. As well, the temperature where the animals are living is lower than some places, so the cheese is more nutty and flavourful in the end.
Q: Tell us, what's the perfect combo of cheeses to include on a cheese plate?
A: Perfect combo? Try mixing fresh and sour flavours, such as a soft sheep or goat cheese — semisoft, fruity with grassy and nutty intense flavours such as Switzerland cheese made from the best cow's milk on the planet.

Palmerella is a genus of plants in the family Campanulaceae. It has only one known species, Palmerella debilis, long known by the synonym Lobelia dunnii. It is native to 8 counties in southern California (San Diego, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Monterey) plus the northern part of Baja California.

The oldest name for the plant is Palmerella debilis, coined by Asa Gray in 1876. Greene in 1889 wanted to move the species to the genus Lobelia, but could not use the name Lobelia debilis, because that name had already been used for a different plant by Linnaeus f. in 1782. Hence Greene created the replacement name Lobelia dunnii. More recent publications favor reverting to Gray's older name.

Two subspecies are recognized:
Palmerella debilis subsp. debilis - Baja California
Palmerella debilis subsp. serrata (A.Gray) Lammers - California and Baja California

I added 2010 census figures.
ISO 3166-2 Newsletter II-3 is dated 2011-12-15. For Timor-Leste, the only change is that the Portuguese name for Dili is now given as Díli, with an acute accent over the first i.
Update 1 to the U.S. standard "Geopolitical Entities and Codes" is dated 2010-08-20. It assigns FIPS codes to the districts of Timor-Leste. Manufahi was accidentally left out. Update 3, issued on 2011-02-28, fixes the error.
FIPS PUB 10-4 Change Notice 13 was issued on 2008-02-04. The only change for Timor-Leste is to adopt the correct official name of the country (replacing "East Timor").
ISO 3166-2 Newsletter number I-4, dated 2002-12-10, changes the name of East Timor to Timor-Leste, in conformance with ISO 3166-1, and corrects a misspelling of the name of Liquiçá district.
ISO 3166-1 Newsletter Number V-6 is dated 2002-11-15. It changes the official name of the country from East Timor to Timor-Leste. It explains that the United Nations Secretariat has issued a new terminology bulletin, in which Timor-Leste is given as the official name of the country in English, French, and Spanish. "East Timor" had been described as the provisional name of the country, since its independence. The second word should probably be pronounced like the English word "lest".
ISO 3166-2 Newsletter Number I-3 was published on 2002-08-20. It assigns codes to the thirteen districts of East Timor, as shown in the table below.
ISO 3166-1 Newsletter Number V-5 is dated 2002-05-21. It lists the formal name of East Timor as Democratic Republic of East Timor. It also changes the Alpha-2 ISO code for East Timor from TP to TL and the Alpha-3 code from TMP to TLS. The new codes derive from the Portuguese name of the new country, Timor Leste. The official languages of the country will be Portuguese and Tetum. English and Bahasa Indonesia will be working languages.
Change Notice 4 to FIPS PUB 10-4 is dated 2000-02-25. It lists East Timor as a separate country. Its FIPS country code is TT. Previously, East Timor had been listed as one of the divisions of Indonesia, with ID27 as its code.
During the colonial period, part of the East Indian island of Timor was a Portuguese territory. The Portuguese inhabitants called it simply Timor. In English, it was more often referred to as Portuguese Timor. In 1951, East Timor became an overseas province of Portugal. In 1976, Indonesia unilaterally annexed the area. Portugal, among others, never recognized Indonesia's sovereignty. On 1999-08-30, a referendum was held in East Timor. The electorate favored independence by a 78.5% majority. The UNTAET (United Nations Transitional Administration for East Timor) relinquished its authority to the new Timorese government on 2002-05-20.
Eastern part of the island of Timor. Timor is Malay for East, and leste is Portuguese for East, so the name of the country may be translated "East East".

Under Indonesian administration, East Timor was divided into thirteen kabupaten (regencies). ISO 3166-1 included a code for the entity, TP, presumably derived from "Timor Português."
