I think it´s just rooted in human nature. No matter how well things are by themselves we like to control them. I guess it's because it makes the illusion that we have something to say...
diggig out my old films. It´s one of my favourites, i don´t know why i didn´t ipload it before.. :P

The area of Vila Viçosa has been inhabited since Antiquity, and it was the site of a small settlement in Roman times. The region was part of the Visigoth Kingdom and in the eighth century came under Moorish control after the Muslim conquest of Hispania. Moorish domination ended in 1217, when the region was reconquered by the Order of Aviz, a military order of knighthood that reclaimed large parts of Southern Portugal to the Christians. The order promoted the settlement of Christians in the area during the 13th century. In 1270, King Afonso III granted a foral(letter of feudal rights) to the incipient village of Vila Viçosa. In the early 14th century, King Dinis I built a castle in the village, to protect it from potential Castilian incursions.
In 1461, Vila Viçosa came to the hands of the House of Braganza, one of the most important houses of nobility of Portugal. This event was crucial in the history of the village, which became the main base of the Dukes of Braganza in the next centuries. The Dukes had considerable wealth and greatly promoted the economic, urban and artistic development of the village.
In 1502 the building of the Ducal Palace of Vila Viçosa was begun, sponsored by Jaime, fourth Duke of Braganza. Jaime was a skilled military leader who later led the Portuguese to victory against a Moorish army in the Battle of Azamor, in Morocco. The Ducal Palace was greatly remodelled between the 16th and 17th centuries in a sober late Renaissance (Mannerist) style, and was decorated through the centuries by several artists. The Dukes also sponsored artistic campaigns in several churches and monasteries in the village.
When Duke John became King John IV, in 1640, the House of Braganza moved to the capital Lisbon, and many of the riches of the Ducal Palace were transferred to the Ribeira Palace. Vila Viçosa became a vacation spot for the members of the Braganza family. This marks the beginning of a period of decay for Vila Viçosa.

Vila Viçosa é uma vila portuguesa, no Distrito de Évora, região Alentejo e sub-região do Alentejo Central, com cerca de 5 023 habitantes (2012).[1]
É sede de um município com 194,86 km² de área[2] e 8 319 habitantes (2011),[3] [4] subdividido em 4 freguesias.[5] O município é limitado a norte e leste pelo município de Elvas, a sul pelo Alandroal, a oeste pelo Redondo e a noroeste por Borba.
Em Vila Viçosa mantiveram-se os duques de Bragança durante vários séculos até à Proclamação da República as suas propriedades e o magnífico Paço Ducal de Vila Viçosa.
É em Vila Viçosa que se encontra a imagem original de Nossa Senhora da Conceição, padroeira e rainha de Portugal, no Santuário Nacional.
Vila Viçosa foi ocupada sucessivamente pelos romanos e muçulmanos. É conquistada para o reino de Portugal em 1217, durante o reinado de D. Afonso II. Em 1270 recebe foral de D. Afonso III, vendo o seu nome mudado de Vale Viçoso para Vila Viçosa. O foral é bastante idêntico ao de Monsaraz, Estremoz e Santarém, atribuindo grandes regalias a Vila Viçosa. No século XIV, D. Dinis manda erigir o Castelo de Vila Viçosa.
Na Crise de 1383-1385, o comendador-mor da Ordem de Avis, Vasco Porcalho, traiu e, tomando o partido de Castela, apossou-se de Vila Viçosa com duzentos e cinquenta homens seus e duzentos castelhanos, o que obrigou a população a fugir para Borba[6] . Um ano e alguns meses depois, na debandada geral que se seguiu à batalha de Aljubarrota, Vasco Porcalho e a sua hoste abandonaram quer a vila quer o castelo[7] . Em 1461 Vila Viçosa passou a fazer parte do Ducado de Bragança. Em 1500, Jaime I de Bragança foi convidado a regressar à corte por D. Manuel I, sendo-lhe restituídos os títulos e as terras do ducado. Em 1502 com o início da construção do Paço Ducal de Vila Viçosa, Vila Viçosa tornou-se a sede do Ducado de Bragança. Em 1512, Vila Viçosa recebe o foral de D. Manuel I.
Durante o domínio filipino, Vila Viçosa, era sede da maior corte ducal da Península Ibérica. Em 1640, um grupo de conspiradores convenceu o então João II, Duque de Bragança a aceitar o trono de Portugal, tornando-se a 1 de Dezembro de 1640, D. João IV (1640-1656) dando início à Dinastia de Bragança. A partir desta data, Vila Viçosa, perdeu fulgor e tornou-se na residência real de férias. Em 1646, João IV de Portugal ofereceu a coroa de Portugal a Nossa Senhora da Conceição como agradecimento pela boa campanha da Guerra da Restauração, tornando-se Nossa Senhora da Conceição, Rainha e Padroeira de Portugal. A partir desta data, mais nenhum Rei de Portugal usou a coroa.
Em 1755, Vila Viçosa foi fortemente abalada pelo Terramoto de 1755. No início do século XIX, Vila Viçosa foi saqueada durante as Invasões Francesas.
Com a Proclamação da República a 5 de Outubro de 1910, Vila Viçosa caiu em decadência, devido ao objectivo dos republicanos em apagar todos os vestígios da monarquia. Contudo, na década de 1930, com a exploração dos mármores (Mármore de Estremoz) e abertura do Paço Ducal de Vila Viçosa para turismo, Vila Viçosa começou a modificar-se até aos dias de hoje. Actualmente, como acontece com muitas cidades alentejanas, sua população encontra-se em diminuição, cujo principal factor responsável é a emigração para outras regiões de Portugal ou mesmo do estrangeiro.

For most young people flying means going on holiday. They will never take control of an aircraft themselves but for two young Nuneaton based Royal Air Force Air Cadets who recently took to the skies during a visit to RAF Cosford, taking control was what it was all about.
This was the first time that Cadets Matthew Waudby and Jack Conway from 121 ( Nuneaton ) Squadron had been powered flying with the Air Cadets. They both had a 30 minute flight in one of No. 8 Air Experience Flight's (AEF) single engine Grob Tutors, not long by holiday flight standards but a flight in a Tutor when you get to fly the aircraft yourself is something completely different.
During an Air Experience Flight the pilot taxis out to the runway, takes off and finds some clear airspace. Depending on the conditions at the time the pilot may offer you the opportunity to try some aerobatics, alternately you may be given the chance of taking control of the aircraft yourself.
When the pilot hands over the control of the aircraft, you will hear the words, "You have control." You then place your had on the control column and your feet on the rudder peddles and reply, “I have control sir” and that's it, you're now flying one of the RAF's Grob Tutor's. Don't worry, the pilot will guide you through the controls and you may even get the chance to try out one or two aerobatic manoeuvres yourself. No other youth group could offer you such an opportunity.
After his flight, Nuneaton based Air Cadet Matthew Waudby said, “This was the first time I've been flying at No.8 AEF with the cadets. It was a totally new experience. The best part of the flight was when I got to take control of the aircraft myself. The pilot said, 'You have control', once I was comfortable with the controls I replied 'I have control, sir!' It was quite scary to begin with but once I adjusted myself to it, it was great fun. I even managed to do some aerobatics including a loop and a role. I would definitely recommend it to anyone and I can't wait to fly again.
On completing his flight, Cadet Jack Conway summed up his experience, with the comment, “Best thing I’ve done in years, brilliant”.
Flt Lt Paul Hincks Officer Commanding 121 (Nuneaton ) Squadron said . “This was the first time that Matthew and Jack had been flying with No.8 AEF and I hope it's given them a taste of what it's like to take control of an aircraft themselves. Its one thing going in a holiday jet but it's a different story in a two-seater airplane when you! get to Take Control”.
He added, “Flying is one of the core activities for Air cadets. It's the unique opportunity to fly that makes the Air Cadets so different from any other youth organization, so if you're interested in flying and want to take control yourself why not come along and Join Our Team.”

Mini World Rotterdam is a huge working model of the city Rotterdam and areas of The Netherlands. There are lot of train movements and operating road traffic on some parts. There are many strange or humorous items to be spotted.
In Mini World land 1 minute is the equivalent of 1 hour, so the dusk and night time happen quite often. As the sun goes down the sky is amber and the street and building lamps turn on.
With so much going on there needs to be somewhere it is all controlled from. A Control room with an array of displays allows the staff to monitor CCTV and computer controlled trains.
This experiment was for the exercise in the www.strobist.com called "Lighting 102: Unit 2.2 - Specular Highlight Control ".

These ten levers are arranged into logical groups.
Imagine these levers were numbered 1 through 10, from left to right.
- Levers 1 and 10 are the reversing levers, with positions for Ahead, Off, and Astern.
- Levers 2 and 9 are the starter levers. These levers allow the operator to control the propulsion motors' starting current while they come up to speed.
- Levers 3, 4, 7, and 8: Each lever controls a main generator, which can be connected to the battery bus, to charge the batteries, or the motor bus, to run the motors.
- Lever 5 is the bus selector lever, which controls how the port and starboard motor busses are interconnected or tied to the battery bus. This control works in conjunction with:
- Lever 6, the battery selector. This allows the forward battery, aft battery, or both, to be connected to the battery bus, which can power the propulsion motors or be connected to the generators.
