Get down to one of the best wine regions Australia has to offer!
Head to the Hunter Valley, two hours north of Sydney, to wile away your weekend in wine country. From the historic amateur oenological undertakings of James Busby nearly 200 years ago, Hunter Valley wines have developed a world-class reputation amongst connoisseurs and quaffers alike. If you're planning a visit to The Hunter, as it's affectionately known by locals, you'll not only be seduced by the region's wonderful wines but other tantalising temptations, including gourmet restaurants, luxurious accommodations, salubrious spas and spectacular scenery.
Driving into the Hunter Valley, you'll be met with rolling vine-covered hill after rolling vine-covered hill; with such rich growing soil, much of the Hunter Valley region is 'under-vine', predominantly Shiraz and Semillon varieties, as well as Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and small quantities of Pinot Noir.
Pop in to the award-winning Pepper Tree Wines for a tasting. We recommend the Alluvius Semillon 2013, an intensely aromatic wine with a distinct bouquet of lemongrass and lime with a crisp yet elegant finish. It pairs well with subtly spiced foods and is can be cellared for up to 10 years.
Get hooked on one of the region's best single vineyard producers, David Hook Wines. We recommend the Old Vines 2011 Shiraz; deep crimson, this wine is strongly peppered but balanced by a lovely blackberry fruit and a savoury oaked finish. Drink now or cellar for up to six years.
Other wineries worth a visit include: Meerea Park, Lake's Folly, Stonehurst Wines Cedar Creek and Whispering Brook. If you're interested in organic/biodynamic wines, check out Macquariedale Organic Wines near Pokolbin; as the first certified organic/biodynamic winemaker in the Hunter Valley, they're setting the standard for natural and sustainable wines. If you're pressed for time, a visit to the Small Winemaker's Centre offers visitors an exceptional selection from 26 of the region's most acclaimed small producers.
With great wine comes great food, and the Hunter Valley's sensational seasonal produce doesn't disappoint.
Esca at Bimbadgen Estate offers diners a contemporary Australian culinary experience while enjoying the cascading views of the local landscape through towering windows. We recommend the seasonal degustation menu – five courses plus palate cleanser and coffee with petit fours, $95pp or degustation menu paired with wine for $125pp. The Autumn 2014 menu includes tuna tartare with togarashi mayonnaise, roasted macadamia and citrus seared duck breast and Greek yogurt crémeux. Bookings are strongly recommended.
The people behind Peterson's House believe that life's flat without bubbles and are the regions sparkling wine specialists. Your visit to the Hunter should start, or finish, with a stop at this iconic specialist producer and their multiple award-winning restaurant. Restaurant Cuvee prides itself on blending old with new; sweet with sour; smooth with crisp. For breakfast, you can't go past their buttermilk pancakes topped with warm espresso caramel sauce, pistachios and mascarpone. For lunch, we recommend the parmesan crusted oysters with seaweed salad.
For a truly local flavour, Margan Restaurant at Margan Estate is a cut above the rest. Consistently voted one of the best restaurants in the country, Margan Restaurant's success rests on its 'garden to table' philosophy; the menus are seasonally driven and over 90% of the produce used in the Margan kitchens comes from their one-acre onsite kitchen garden. They also raise their own free-range chickens, Black Suffolk lambs, bee hives and olives. Under the motto 'Estate Grown, Estate Made' Margan make their own butter, soft cheeses, pasta, gelati, small goods and bread on site. Their menu changes daily depending on what produce they are harvesting from their garden, so you'll always be surprised and delighted by the ever-changing menu.
Other foodie destinations include: The Smelly Cheese Shop, Bistro Molines, Hunter Valley Chocolate Company, Mojo's on Wilderness, Old George and Dragon, and Oishii.
For weary city slickers in need of a pampering weekend in the country, The Hunter is the perfect place to get away from it all. Wrap yourself in luxury at Chateau Elan; book their Essential Escape spa package and surrender yourself to half a day of well-deserved indulgence.
Couples can book a romantic, immersive nature escape at Wild Edge retreat; this retreat caters exclusively for couples (no children allowed), with only four 'pavillions' available for guests. Luxuriously quiet and exclusive, Wild Edge is located just off the Wollombi Wine Trail and 40 minutes from the centre of The Hunter wine country, Pobolkin.
For those in search of a holistic escape, they'll find it at Golden Door Health Retreat in Elysia. Although they offer an all-inclusive wellness program, clients can also book in at the renowned Spa Elysia for day treatments. Their three-hour Spa Fusion package will melt away the knots and stresses of frantic city life and leave you relaxed and revitalised.
Other accommodations include: The Carriages at Diamond Estate, Mystwood Retreats, Cedars Mountain View and Deja Vu Estate.
The Hunter is a driver's paradise with winding roads cresting on tree lined ridges over cascading vine-covered valleys; check out Europcar's car hire deals to get you between restaurants, wineries and quaint country towns. Drive safely and enjoy responsibly.


The first time I went to Vegas, I was told that the only way to get to the strip from the airport was by one of those the airport shuttle. It was such a terrible experience there's got to be a better way. On my way back to the airport I ask the hotel concierge how to get back to the airport by public transportation, the concierge promptly told me, "there are no public transportation to the airport, but I can book you on a shuttle service", to which I reply, "how does the local get to the airport". Concierge "They take the shuttle too". me "so they have to take the bus to your hotel so they can transfer to an airport shuttle?", Concierge; "… yes. " to which I reply, "your are nuts". Obviously, the concierge get a kick back from the shuttle companies, that's why a 1 mile trip cost like 17 dollars. (last time I check) I was just so disappointed that a professional who's job is to provide information would so blatantly lie to the people whom they were paid to serve.
And so I was determined to find a public transportation alternative, then share it with everybody I know.
The major attractions in Las Vegas are the casinos and the hotels. Most of the hotel casinos are in the city's downtown area, which has been the focal point of the city's gaming industry since its early days.
Most casinos are downtown on the Fremont Street Experience, The Stratosphere being the major exception. Fremont East, adjacent to the Fremont Street Experience, was granted variances to allow bars to be closer together, similar to the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego, the goal being to attract a different demographic than the Strip attracts.
Las Vegas got its start with casinos in 1931 with the opening of the Northern Club (now the La Bayou). The most notable of the early casinos may have been Binion's Horseshoe (now Binion's Gambling Hall and Hotel) while it was run by Benny Binion. Boyd Gaming has a major presence downtown operating the California Hotel and Casino, Fremont Hotel and Casino and the Main Street Casino. The Golden Gate Hotel and Casino is the oldest hotel in the Fremont Street Experience. The Golden Nugget is the largest hotel and casino in the city. The Plaza Hotel & Casino on Main Street was the railway station until Amtrak discontinued service. Other casinos include the El Cortez, The D, Four Queens, Gold Spike Hotel and Casino and the Las Vegas Club.

Un contratto in economia è un contratto con il quale il committente paga il fornitore in base al lavoro realmente eseguito, fissato il prezzo o tariffa unitaria (tempo o parametro quantitativo). Il tempo può essere espresso in ore o giornate, un parametro fisico può essere: Kg, mq, pezzo, pasto, pagina, ticket, pratica e tantissimi altri, a seconda del prodotto o servizio.

In pratica, dire "in economia" equivale a dire a consuntivo perché, a parte il prezzo o tariffa unitaria, non si è fissato preventivamente il "quanto" che l'opera o servizio richiede. Pertanto, l'importo complessivo è determinato una volta erogato il servizio (anche parzialmente oppure all'interno di un contratto di durata) o ad un livello di SAL dell'opera concordato tra fornitore e cliente.

Nella consulenza e nei servizi professionali si usa il termine equivalente (di derivazione IT) time & material.

Il contratto in economia è l'opposto del contratto a misura.

Interested in learning more about the children's book industry, book reviewing, or how magazines and review journals operate? A Horn Book internship is a great place to start.
Our editorial interns are an invaluable help in managing the gazillion books that enter and leave our office (and if the phrase "gazillion books" sounds appealing to you, you're probably a good fit). They unpack boxes from publishers, shelve books, and send mailings to reviewers — all while becoming familiar with publishing trends. They also write blog posts, comment on whether books are worthy of starred reviews, and participate in meetings. They take on oddball projects like poring over back issues to track down an old editorial. Oh, and sometimes they get free books.

We offer spring, summer, and fall internships. The next application deadline, for 2017 fall internships, is July 1st. (Fall interns get to participate in the Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards ceremony!) Each internship is approximately ten hours per week and pays $11 per hour. To apply, send a resume and cover letter to Shoshana Flax (sflax at hbook dot com).

Fritz Blaschke (* 16. Februar 1899 in Breslau; † 14. Januar 1968 in Oldenburg), auch "Seppl" genannt, war ein deutscher Fußballspieler und -trainer.

Karriere

In Breslau geboren und aufgewachsen, schloss sich Blaschke der ortsansässigen Breslauer SpVgg 05 an, für die er bis zu seinem 20. Lebensjahr aktiv war. Mit Beginn der Spielzeit 1919/20 wechselte er zum Lokalrivalen Vereinigte Breslauer Sportfreunde, mit denen er als Halbstürmer seine größten Erfolge erringen sollte.

Am Ende seiner Premierensaison im Seniorenbereich errang er mit der Mannschaft den Titel des Südostdeutschen Meisters. In Folge dessen war er mit der Mannschaft als Teilnehmer an der Endrunde um die Deutsche Meisterschaft qualifiziert und erreichte nach dem 3:2-Sieg über den SC Union Oberschöneweide erstmals in der Vereinsgeschichte das Halbfinale dieses Wettbewerbs. Drei weitere Male gelang ihm mit den Sportfreunden der Einzug in die Endrunde um die Deutsche Meisterschaft – in der er in insgesamt fünf Spielen ein Tor erzielte –, ehe er 1924 zum Lokalrivalen Breslauer SC 08 wechselte.

Sein Karrierehöhepunkt dürfte der 4:3-Viertelfinalsieg n. V. im Sportpark des Breslauer Stadtteils Grüneiche 1929 gegen den FC Bayern München gewesen sein. Nachdem er mit drei Toren zum 3:3-Unentschieden in der regulären Spielzeit beigetragen hatte, erzielte Außenstürmer Roman Igla in der 94. Minute den 4:3-Siegtreffer; 12.000 Fans feierten ihn, den dreifachen Torschützen, frenetisch, der während seiner Vereinszugehörigkeit in insgesamt neun Endrundenspielen sechs Tore erzielte.

Ein Jahr zuvor gehörte er der Südostdeutschen Auswahl an, die am 29. April 1928 in Breslau mit 2:0 gegen die Norddeutsche Auswahl das Spiel um den Bundespokal, den Nachfolger des Kronprinzenpokals und ersten deutschen Pokalwettbewerbs überhaupt, gewann. Er sorgte mit seinem Tor zum Endstand in der 88. Minute für die endgültige Entscheidung und damit den überraschenden Gewinn des Wettbewerbs.

Die mit Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs einsetzende Flucht und Vertreibung Deutscher aus Mittel- und Osteuropa führte ihn letztendlich nach Norddeutschland, wo er den VfB Oldenburg, als Meister der seinerzeit zweitklassigen Landesliga Weser/Ems, 1949 als Trainer in die seinerzeit erstklassige Oberliga Nord führte, allerdings kurz darauf von Hans Pilz abgelöst wurde. Blaschke starb am 14. Januar 1968, fünf Wochen vor seinem 70. Geburtstag, in Oldenburg.

Erfolge
 Südostdeutscher Meister 1920, 1921, 1923, 1924, 1926, 1928
 Mittelschlesischer Meister 1925, 1926, 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930
 Breslauer Meister 1920, 1922, 1923, 1924, 1925, 1926, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931
 Bundespokalsieger 1928

Rick Dahl	Laredo Mentor
I've written for many of the major studios and networks. My first movie, "Red Rock West," was nominated for Best Screenplay by the Independent Spirit Awards.
I think this program is fantastic. I get to spend an hour a week, one-on-one with my students. We read over their material carefully. It affords me the opportunity to dig deep and get into the details of screenwriting – a deceptively complicated craft. We can cover various aspects of formatting, different styles of writing and how they impact the reader – which ultimately determines the filmic outcome and audience sees on screen.
The time allows me to get know my students so that I'm able to help them put some part of themselves into their stories.
Once you get past the basics, screenwriting is about story. And we all have one to tell. The more personal that is, the more impact it will have.
The terrific thing I get to experience with Film Connection, because of the one-on-one time I have with my students, is the growth they achieve in their writing
Jana Sue Memel	Laredo Mentor
"Students at the Film Connection receive the extraordinary benefit of a one-on-one mentoring relationship with highly experienced industry professionals. What an amazing way to learn your craft. Nothing could be better." — Jana Sue Memel,

Referendum proposed on having an elected Aurora library board
By Steve Lord
Two state representatives have introduced a bill for a referendum on having an elected library board of directors for Aurora. (Jon Langham/The Beacon-News)
Two Aurora state representatives have introduced a bill for a referendum on having an elected, rather than appointed, Aurora Public Library board of directors.
The primary sponsor of HB 910, state Rep. Stephanie Kifowit (D-Oswego), has said the bill would give voters a choice of creating an elected board, which would give taxpayers more of a say in the administration of the library.
But Aurora Mayor Richard Irvin this week called the bill "incomplete," saying it does not go far enough in creating the library as an autonomous taxing body.
He also criticized Kifowit for failing to talk to the city or library administration before putting together the bill.
Kifowit said she launched her effort after a number of big library issues during the past several years. Some residents criticized the current library board for the way it handled service and personnel cuts made two years ago, and for this past year's discussion of moving the West Branch of the library.
The board eventually voted to forego any effort to move the West Branch after community reaction.
"Giving people a say in who makes the decisions that impact their daily life is always good government policy," said Kifowit. "Given the contention around plans to move the West Branch to a smaller, rented location and the lack of transparency in these discussions, residents deserve a fair say in who holds decision-making power when it comes to the future of our beloved local library."
House Bill 910 is co-sponsored by state Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia (D-Aurora).
The bill proposes a referendum for voters to decide whether the appointed Aurora Public Library board should be changed to an elected board.
Currently, the mayor, with approval from the City Council, appoints nine directors to the board.
The library has its own tax levy which is set by the City Council. The library board recommends its budget each year, but that too is approved by the City Council.
Kifowit said she also is researching the option of having the Aurora Public Library system as a separate independent entity from the city.
Irvin said that is more what city officials want, and pointed out that the city has moved toward more library autonomy since he has become mayor. The city now has the library do its own payroll, which the city's finance office used to handle.
But because libraries are set up in two ways in Illinois — either as municipal libraries with the same boundaries as a municipality, or as an independent library district with independent boundaries — Irvin suggested the state would have to change the basic state library statutes to make Aurora more autonomous.
Under state law, municipal libraries have appointed boards, and library districts have elected boards.
"These are things that should be considered," he said. "You cannot just focus on one library."
Irvin said he is fine with elected boards. He pointed out that he supported the move to change the Fox Valley Park District board to elected rather than appointed. But he said that took years and a lot of work to get the enabling legislation for the district.
"It didn't just happen," he said.
Kifowit was a supporter of the move to make the Fox Valley Park Board elected, although the primary sponsor was former state Sen. Karen McConnaughay from St. Charles, who at one time was the Kane County Board chairwoman who had to appoint the park district's board members.
Last year, Kifowit introduced a bill to have the Fox Metro Water Reclamation District elected instead of appointed.
It passed the legislature, but was vetoed by then Gov. Bruce Rauner — who said he could have supported it if it applied to all water reclamation districts in the state and not just one.

I hope you'll forgive his gender-specific language (he wrote at a time when women didn't even have the vote). But his essay has been on my mind lately, because his sentiment – that living in a representative democracy demands work from all of us – is as timely now as it was then. A lot of people these days intuitively grasp that our system needs our involvement if we're to safeguard it. So what should we do – especially if politics has to share space in our lives with family and jobs?
Next, you have to communicate – with each other, with the media, and at the local, state, and national levels. You have to communicate with your representatives. You have to go to public meetings and speak up. Focus your message so it's clear, concise, and specific. Be polite but persistent.
All of these are ways of participating – and if you want more, search out The New York Times' guide, "How to Participate in Politics." The key thing, as President Obama said, is to show up. There are all kinds of ways to have an impact, but they start with one thing: Showing up. It's the least we should do.

a side trip into hunting season.....moving it .....Schoolhouse Museum
This Week in Lincolnville: Lost on a mountain in Maine
....hunting the elusive Maitake

Early October and hunting season looms. Actually, depending on what you're after it's always hunting season for something in Maine as long as it's coyotes, woodchucks, porcupines or red squirrels. Apparently, the state doesn't mind how many of these critters are shot or when.
Skunks, opossum, raccoon, fox, bobcat, gray squirrel, snowshoe hare each have their "open" season, generally through the winter. Upland and migratory birds such as grouse, quail, pheasant, woodcock, snipe, ducks and geese can be hunted in the fall months. Our most common game bird, the wild turkey, has made such a comeback they have two open seasons: the month of May and two months in the fall.
Did you know that hunters can take two bear a year, one by hunting and one by trapping? Their season is basically late August through November with special rules about hunting with dogs and with bait, i.e. doughnuts.

Then there's the moose hunt, a category all its own involving permits and certain WMDs (Wildlife Management Districts). A specific number of permits are issued each year and doled out via lottery. Lincolnville, which doesn't lie within one of those districts, has never had an official moose hunt, though I've heard a couple of stories about someone shooting a moose and then frantically trying to conceal the evidence.
That brings us to Deer Season, the month of November, this year Nov. 4-30. Back in the day, it was a season all to itself, with a certain excitement in the air as opening day approached. It was always kicked off with a pre-dawn Hunters' Breakfast at the school or the Grange or the LIA building, complete with lots of bacon and sausage, eggs, biscuits, homefries, and gallons of hot coffee. The cooks – usually women, though the last one we went to was put on by the Masons of King David's Lodge – have breakfast ready by 5 a.m. The hunters themselves have been out prowling the roads since 2.
Opening day is always Saturday, and we'd wake up to headlights and the sound of a pickup slowing cruising by, looking for deer crossing. No shooting until sunrise and just like clockwork, that first day, you'd hear a shot within minutes of daybreak.
November, deer season, had certain protocols: wear blaze orange – hat, vest, what have you – whenever you're outdoors, hunter or not. Tie an orange kerchief onto the dog's collar or your horse's halter. Hikers and dog walkers should only venture into the woods on Sundays when hunting was forbidden.
Keep an eye out to spot who got their deer, usually seen hanging upside down from a prominent front yard tree. Check the list of successful hunters at the game tagging station, which was one of the stores in the Center – general store, Drake's, or Dean and Eugley's garage. Today Darrell Libby on Belfast Road does the tagging.
What tag? That's a portion of the hunting license that has to be torn off and attached to the deer as soon as it's shot. One tag per hunter means only one deer can be taken each year.
But it's a different prey Wally went after in his later years, a stationary critter he was much more likely to bag than a deer: the mushroom called Hen of the Woods or Maitake. He found it while roaming Frohock, the mountain (I know, 454 feet doesn't make it a mountain) right across from our house where he hunted. One day he brought home, not a deer, but a humungous mushroom which we easily identified as Hen of the Woods. This isn't to be confused with Chicken of the Woods, a deep yellow bracket type mushroom that grows on trees, also edible and also delicious.
Maitake is gray-brown with leafy-like lobes; he found it growing at the base of an oak tree. According to one website I found "Maitake means dancing mushroom in Japanese. The mushroom is said to have gotten its name after people danced with happiness upon finding it in the wild, such are its incredible healing properties." It's also delicious.
Mushrooms grow from underground mycelium that send up fruiting bodies – the mushroom – every year when conditions are right. In a dry year there may be no mushrooms at all, but the next year with enough moisture they pop up everywhere. The maitake reliably grows back in the same spot year after year, though its size must depend on what rain we've had.
Much about mushroom hunting is akin to the deer (possum, bear, or grouse) hunt: it takes you deep into the forest, off the trails, and in the fall when the air has a bite and leaves are turning. The light has changed, too, perhaps because the sun is hitting us from a lower angle. As foliage dies there's an earthy, moldy smell of rotting vegetation, perfect mushroom weather.
Wally's maitake grows at the base of a now-dead oak tree, way off any trail or woods road up there. Only a hunter, a deer hunter, would have found it. He took me there once or twice, son Ed one time, and our friend Norm Walters several times, who later showed another friend, Liz Hand. On one of our first walks together, two years ago when we were just getting to know one another, I took Don.
We didn't find it.
That was only one of the times I led him into the woods to see some of my favorite places and got us hopelessly lost. Only he had a clever app on his phone – Map My Walk – that showed us exactly the line we'd taken, zig zagging through underbrush, climbing over boulders and ledges, hopping little brooks. As long as we turned around and kept to that zig zaggy digital line on the map we'd eventually come out of whatever tangle I'd gotten us into.
So this past week when Liz suggested we go looking for the maitake I was surprised when Don agreed to go with us. We set off across from my house and up the old woods road, now a decent trail kept cleared by a couple of mountain bikers who've begun using it lately.
At a certain point that Liz determined was where Wally'd gone, we left the trail. I wasn't sure, and actually neither was she, but since I'm hopeless at finding my way in the woods I didn't disagree. Don was probably thinking "Oh great. Here we go again."
There are few places up there where you can actually walk a few steps without watching your feet. Roots, brambly twiney growth, ubiquitous rocky outcrops, unexpected holes, fallen trees – everything threatens to trip you up.
"It's on a little ridge," Liz said and I agreed, so with difficulty we pulled ourselves up one likely looking spot after another, but no maitake. Coming back down was a chore. After a few more false leads we gave up. Don opened up Map My Walk and we began retracing our steps, eventually coming out onto Beach Road, right across from my house.
This past week-end Liz returned with Norm. Half an hour later they were back with nearly fifteen pounds of maitake. "He went right to it," Liz told me. We divided it up, each taking about five pounds.
Navigating in the woods is an exercise in observation I've decided. It's all in what you know to look for, recognizing specific trees for instance. But there's also an instinct for knowing where you are. The other day when we came down from our bushwacking and back onto the trail I was sure we should turn left, but Liz and Don instinctively went right. I was wrong.
Wally knew every tree up there, every outcropping. He was never lost, though he'd get turned around driving in Camden. Finding the elusive maitake was a piece of cake for him; he'd walk right to it. After all, unlike a deer, the hen of the woods stays put.
This Saturday, October 12 is the 7th anniversary of the day we Moved It, pulled the old Center Schoolhouse across the road and onto its new concrete slab on the site of Dean and Eugley's garage. If you were in town that day you might have stopped by and taken a spot on the rope line. Main Street was closed for over an hour so the crew, volunteers all, could quickly lay down the board track across the pavement. The building had been jacked up and onto short pieces of pipe. All we, the 150-200 townspeople who showed up that morning had to do was pull it across on those pipes. Here's the video made by Tyler Dunham and friends.
Lincolnville Historical SocietyThe Schoolhouse Museum closes for the season this Friday. Come down this week, M-W-F, 1-4 p.m. and see the new displays and rearranged space. Even though we won't have regular hours until next June, you can always call either Connie Parker, 505-5101, or me, 789-5987, and we'll arrange to meet you there, show you around or help with any research you might want to do. More than just a museum with displays of old stuff, the LHS maintains a pretty extensive archive of photos – organized by family, documents, diaries, maps, etc. If you have ancestors who lived in Lincolnville or live in an old house chances are we have relevant material.
Gradually we're scanning and adding material from this archive to our website. Check out our new and improved website here.


After the release of ranks by CBSE of the JEE (Main) examination and a week's delay to begin the joint seat allocation for IIT and NIT together, it finally began on 01 July 2015.
After the release of ranks by CBSE of the JEE (Main) examination and a week's delay to begin the joint seat allocation for IIT and NIT together, it finally began on 01 July 2015. CBSE released the JEE(Main) ranks to the Central Seat Allocation Board on Tuesday night and the registration portal opened for students at 3 am in the morning on Wednesday. On the first day itself, around 58,000 students registered and filled almost 21 lakh choices in them all. From the total filled registrations, 13,000 came for 5.6lakh choices in IITs.
The National Informatics Centre checked the data provided by CBSE with the JEE (Advanced) after CBSE made the rank of JEE (Main) public. Upon the upload of the data, the website opened for students to begin registration process. For the joint seat allocation process, all the 13 lakh students who had appeared for JEE (Main) examination could register. The ranks were initially decided to get out by June 24 from CBSE and the process was scheduled to begin from June 25. But due to the delay of CBSE on taking out the JEE (Main) ranks the process got delayed thrice.
Due to the delay, the academic session has been pushed by almost a week now. According to one IIT Director, the students who would come this year at the IIT campuses might have to deal with extra lectures on weekends in order to cope up with the syllabus. On the first day the online registration process went smooth with very minor hitches on the part of students which got addressed immediately by the redresses cell.

Emerging concept of Smart Grids aims at increasing visibility and controllability of electricity grids boosting their operational efficiency, enabling novel enhanced services to customers and utilities at a same time. Successful realization of this concept will in great part depend on efficient management of tremendous amounts of data to be gathered and processed in very short time periods. In this work we propose a novel smart metering architecture to manage data collected from deployed smart meters logically encapsulated in form of virtual meters. The metering infrastructure is structured in the form of Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI). The architecture of Meter Data Management (MDM) system as well and its integration in Control Center structure of power system is described in details. The testing and verification of proposed solution is performed on data from power distribution company Vattenfall, Sweden.


Minor changes that you make right now can have a major impact on your long-term financial security, according to Stephany Kirkpatrick, senior director of financial planning and a Certified Financial Planner at LearnVest Planning Services. Below, she shares eight quick and easy tips that can help you slowly and steadily stash away cash—and we profile real people who've put them to the test, much to the benefit of their bottom lines.
Simply put, you want to keep your checking account and savings account at two different banks. Erica Zidel, 31, of Boston, Mass., who runs the babysitting startup SittingAround.com, says that this is the single best thing she's done to save money. "I kind of forget that I have the savings account, so I'm not tempted to dip into it," she says. "Since doing this five years ago, my savings have grown 400%."
Kirkpatrick agrees that the out-of-sight/out-of-mind mentality is helpful—plus, it usually takes two to three days to access money from a separate savings account, so you probably can't spend it as impulsively.
It's easy to promise yourself that you're going to transfer a certain amount of money into savings each week or month, but following through takes an awful lot of time, energy and discipline. Take the process out of your own hands by either asking your company to regularly deposit a portion of your paycheck directly into your savings account (that's ideal, says Kirkpatrick, because you never even see the money) or asking your bank to regularly transfer a certain amount of money from your checking account to your savings account.
"My husband and I set up an automatic transfer with our bank between our checking and savings accounts, " explains Kendal Perez, a 28-year-old marketing manager at Kinoli Incorporated in Fort Collins, Colo. "Each week, $50 is transferred, and we don't typically miss it. That has helped us build an emergency fund and cover costs like car insurance and vehicle registration." And do it frequently: "If you transfer from checking to savings, I recommend weekly transfers, because they keep your checking account more level. You won't feel a huge dip once a month," says Kirkpatrick.
Did you know that the average American who eats their lunch out during the week spends nearly $1,000 a year? Stuart L. Cantor, Ph.D., a 49-year-old pharmaceutical scientist in Mt. Airy, Md., used to be tempted to go to a Chinese or Indian restaurant with co-workers for lunch on occasion and drop $12 to $15 each time.
"Now I bring my lunch to work every day. Either my wife and I will cook something or I'll microwave a frozen Indian dish that costs $1.99 for 14 ounces. I always eat something healthy and delicious, so I don't feel cheated," he says.
"The key to making this habit stick is to make sure you're not taking an enjoyment factor out of your life," says Kirkpatrick. "Have one or two splurge days if you need to. Bringing your lunch 3 or 4 days a week is still better than none." Ask your co-workers if they want try this strategy too and eat with you, so you'll get the same sense of camaraderie that you would at a restaurant and they'll help hold you accountable.
Add 1% of your gross income to your retirement savings every six months. The idea is to keep doing this gradually until you reach the maximum amount that you're allowed to contribute. Maximums can change year to year. For traditional or Roth IRAs, for example, the current limit is $5,500 (and $6,500 for those 50 or older). For 401(k)s, it's $17,500 for those under age 50 and $23,000 for those age 50 or older.
"1% is a good amount because it's a painless but significant step in the right direction. You can live without that small amount of money," says Kirkpatrick. If you are contributing, say, 2% right now, within about 4 years you'll slowly grow that amount to 10% without even feeling it by following this strategy.
Before you can spend less, you need to figure out exactly where your money goes. You might think you have a good idea, but many people are surprised by what they find.
Hudson Valley, N.Y. writer Virginia Sole-Smith, 32, certainly was when she used a spreadsheet to track what she and her husband spent on groceries in May and June of this year. But the exercise helped her pinpoint areas where she could slash costs. "We were spending $75 a month on individual, 6-ounce Chobani yogurts at a fancy grocery store! Now we buy four-packs and 32-ounce tubs from Stop & Shop," she says. Tricks like this have enabled her to cut her yogurt bill nearly in half and spend 37% less on all her groceries.
"Pay attention to recurring costs, like cable TV bills and gym memberships. Ask yourself if you're getting your money's worth," says Kirkpatrick. If you're not, it might be time to buy an HDTV antenna (a one-time fee) or pay for Hulu or Netflix (which are recurring fees but are less expensive than cable). Or you may want to watch free exercise videos on YouTube instead of taking gym classes.
If your weak spot isn't a recurring cost, try putting yourself on a cash diet, says Kirkpatrick. For instance, if you can't enter a shoe store without purchasing three pairs, don't go in there with a debit or credit card—take only a certain amount of cash, so you can't go crazy.
"For the past 17 years, my husband and I and our five children have saved by charging everything on my Southwest Airlines card and paying off the balance in full each month. We rack up free miles so we can visit family in Raleigh and take vacations, like a trip to San Francisco, at much lower costs," says Andi Wrenn, a 46-year-old financial counselor in Arlington, Va."Over the past four years, we've earned anywhere from 3,000 to 12,000 miles per month."
This tactic can be advantageous, Kirkpatrick agrees. "But only if you spend within your means and pay off the balance in full every month, so you have to stay disciplined," she advises.
One big money drain can be forgetting to pay a bill—and then getting slapped with a late fee and/or having to pay interest on a credit card payment. This can be easily avoided by getting organized.
"I started using a hard copy planner (and then a few years ago, I switched to using a Google digital calendar) to record reminders throughout the year for different money deadlines, such as paying monthly bills, contacting my tax professional, reviewing insurance policies, getting a credit report and more," says Ray Advani, 42, of Chicago, who founded the blog Squirrelers.com.
"Over the past 10 years, this has saved me about $1,000 and prevents a lot of stress!" he adds. You can also schedule alerts via email or text. "Setting reminders is a helpful strategy for people who lead busy lives," says Kirkpatrick. "You can also ask vendors, like your cable company or electric company, if they can reset your payment due date. You might prefer to have all your due dates on the same day for convenience or it might help your cash flow to spread them out over the month."
"Consider putting your savings into an online bank, as opposed to a brick-and-mortar bank, because the interest rates tend to be higher, so your money will grow faster," says Kirkpatrick. For example, if your emergency fund sits in Citibank's savings account, it'll earn .01% interest. If it sits in Ally online bank's savings account, it'll earn .87% interest. And, as this story shows, even little differences can add up.
Are Online Banks Worth the Sacrifices?

The Camo Chronicles, Part 5: Flying Tiger-Stripes
A unique look is only one goal of uniform design
As we noted in an earlier post, designing a uniform is a balancing act that requires consideration of many factors. And the story of the development and deployment of the U.S. Air Force's Airman Battle Uniform (ABU) serves as a reminder of what can happen when one aspect gains preeminence over other important goals.
The Air Force began its uniform research and development in October 2002. According to a 2012 GAO report on camouflage development, the objective was to "design a distinctive uniform that…provided a better fit, and was also easier and less costly to maintain." This desire to create a uniform instantly recognizable as USAF appears to have been the prime consideration during the development process, with the GAO going on to reiterate "the Air Force wanted a utility uniform with a distinctively Air Force look."
Like the Army and Marine Corps, the Air Force conducted camo-pattern tests. But instead of selecting a variety of candidates and then narrowing down the field, the Air Force sort of worked it in reverse. After conducting surveys for input from personnel on their design preferences, the USAF Chief of Staff ordered the Clothing Office to use a tiger-stripe camo pattern and specified that one fabric weight would be used for both trousers and blouses.
United States Air Force personnel wearing the tiger-striped Airman Battle Uniform during a field exercise.
Actual tests by the Air Warfare Center (AWC) of the tiger-stripe against the patterns on five other combat uniforms didn't begin until three years into the ABU's development. While the AWC's report concluded that the tiger-stripe pattern performed well in most environments, four of its five competitors were environment-specific: it probably came as no surprise, for example, that the ABU outperformed the MARPAT Desert uniform in a tropical forest environment. The AWC report also suggested some design changes to improve combat effectiveness, such as finding solutions to heat buildup issues due to the fabric weight. The Clothing Office's response—that "the original direction for the development of the ABU was for non-combat use rather than as a combat uniform or as a camouflage-effective garment"—reveals the importance placed on looks over functionality.
With its 2007 introduction, the ABU proved that the Air Force's stated design goal had been achieved—but the snappy look came with a price. A sergeant interviewed by Stars and Stripes echoed the sentiments of many when he said, "[The ABU is] a great uniform to wear in a home station, air-conditioned office," but not outdoors in the Middle East in combat. And the tiger-stripe pattern? As one major media outlet put it, the "throwback" pattern "serves little practical use in America's foreign wars"—a polite way of saying it wasn't very effective camouflage.
To address these issues, the Air Force started work in 2009 on the Improved Airman Battle Uniform (IABU) to deliver a cooler, more lightweight utility uniform. The finished product, called the Rip-Stop Airman Battle Uniform (RABU), hit military clothing stores in 2012. And in 2010, the Air Force decided to let airmen deployed to Afghanistan wear the Army's lighter-weight ACU featuring the MultiCam-based OCP camo pattern, a position unchanged with the Army's switch to the new OCP pattern.
Requiring one combat uniform for use in Afghanistan and another for everywhere else is admittedly a short-term solution. But airmen wearing the ACU can take some consolation in knowing they won't stand out as high-value targets for enemy forces looking to identify Air Force personnel responsible for calling in air strikes.

Я́ков Ива́нович Журавлёв (1837 — 1908) — почётный гражданин города Новгорода, потомственный почётный гражданин, городской голова, гласный Городской Думы, Новгородских губернского и уездного земских собраний, почётный мировой судья по Новгородскому уезду.

Биография

Яков Иванович Журавлёв родился в 1837 году в семье купца Ивана Тарасовича Журавлёва, который вёл торговлю в городе Боровичи Новгородской губернии. Яков Иванович с молодых лет участвовал в торговых делах и 17 июня 1863 года был причислен к Новгородскому купеческому сословию 2-ой гильдии.

Его общественная деятельность началась с 1865 года, когда он становиться членом первой Новгородской уездной земской управы. А ещё через год, в 1866 году избирается на должность директора Городского общественного банка, на которой пробудет до 1871 года. Отмечая его исключительную деятельность в этой сфере, гласные думы приняли постановление о наименовании банка «общественным Журавлёва банком».

В 1870 году Я. И. Журавлёв избирается членом Губернской земской управы.

 Яков Иванович Журавлёв избирается городским головой. В дальнейшем он ещё дважды будет избран на этот пост: в 1875 году и в 1879 году. С 1871 года, будучи в должности городского головы, Я. И. Журавлёв возглавлял сиротский суд. В 1872 году избирается почётным мировым судьёй Новгородского уездного съезда, а с 1873 — директор Губернского тюремного комитета.

В августе 1873 года Я. И. Журавлёву было присвоено звание Почётного гражданина Новгорода за управление городским хозяйством и личный вклад в развитие города. А в сентябре 1883 года после того, как срок полномочий городского главы, на которые Журавлёв был избран, закончился, он получил право на ношение мундира в отставке и «Золотой знак городского головы Новгорода».

С 1884 года Я. И. Журавлёв избирается гласным Новгородского уездного земского собрания, Новгородской городской думы и гласным Губернского земского собрания.

В 1900 году Яков Иванович Журавлёв, в ходе внеочередных выборов после смерти Г. М. Сметанина, и в 1901 году вновь избирается городским головой. Но уже , не дожидаясь окончания срока полномочий, Журавлёв пишет заявление об отказе от должности городского головы «по расстроенному здоровью и болезненному состоянию».

Значительные силы и время Яков Иванович отдавал общественной и благотворительной деятельности. С 1873 года и до конца жизни он был почётным членом правления Новгородского попечительного о бедных общества, с 1875 года попечитель Таировской богадельни, действительный член Российского общества покровительства животным, член попечительского совета Николаевской женской гимназии.

С 1880 года Я. И. Журавлёв становиться членом местного управления Российского общества Красного Креста, но ещё во времена Русско-турецкой войны Яков Иванович активно принимал участие в материальной поддержке Общества попечения о раненых и больных воинах, за что был отмечен «Знаком Российского общества Красного Креста за Русско-турецкую войну».

С 1884 года действительный член Губернского статистического комитета, почётный попечитель реального училища. С 1887 года — член от купечества новгородского губернского податного присутствия.

Яков Иванович являлся почётным членом Строительного комитета, в годы пребывания его городским головой в Новгороде сооружены или перестроены здания: Думы, реального училища, женской гимназии, ремесленных классов, Клуба соединённого общества, полицейской и пожарной части.

Скончался в 1908 году. Похоронен на Тихвинском кладбище.

 Орден Святого Станислава 3-й степени
 Орден Святой Анны 3-й степени
 Орден Святого Станислава 2-й степени
 Орден Святой Анны 2-й степени

Espartza Zaraitzu (cooficialment en castellà Esparza de Salazar) és un municipi de Navarra, a la comarca de Roncal-Salazar, dins la merindad de Sangüesa.

Topònim
La localitat s'ha denominat oficialment de forma tradicional Esparza, encara que de forma informal solia anomenar-se-la Esparza de Salazar per a distingir-la de l'altra localitat homònima existent a Navarra, Esparza del municipi de Galar. En la dècada de 1990 es va adoptar finalment la denominació oficial de Esparza de Salazar. Finalment en 2006 es va adoptar oficialment la denominació bilingüe Esparza de Salazar/Espartza Zaraitzu. Espartza és com es pronuncia el nom en llengua basca i Zaraitzu és el nom basc de la Vall de Salazar. El nom Espartza sembla provenir de l'euskera, ja que les dues localitats navarreses denominades Esparza estan en la zona històricament bascòfona de Navarra i la terminació -tza (el nom basc dels pobles és Espartza) sol ser un sufix abundancial molt habitual en aquesta llengua. No obstant això, no està tan clar com és el significat del terme espar del que suposadament el topònim indicaria gran abundància. S'han proposat diverses etimologies: espartzu (espart), ezpara (tàvec) i espar (paraula local que denomina a l'estaca que s'utilitza per a subjectar les vinyes).

Security is fundamental to Paris 2012's operational plan. France has extensive experience in risk-management and in managing major events. A dedicated coordination structure will ensure optimal security for all Games constituents and facilities.
During the Games, the security workforce will consist of as many as 28,850 people. (© Paris 2012)
- All about Security (PDF - 713 Ko)
Anticipating Risk: The Basis for the Security System
In conjunction with the Ministry of the Interior, Domestic Security and Local Freedoms, Paris 2012 has performed in-depth analysis of the risks arising from the Olympic Games and has detailed how it intends to manage and counteract each of the situations foreseen (fire, technological risks, intrusion into Olympic facilities, etc.).
A Well-Established, Proven Security System, Placed Under State Responsibility
The State may conclude partnerships with the towns involved, as necessary. Within the operational areas of each Olympic venue, security is the responsibility of the Paris OCOG, under the supervision and control of the relevant prefectures. Should a crisis situation arise, responsibility for all security operations will be transferred from the organising party (Paris OCOG) to the State (Prefectures). Beyond the operational areas, in the public domain, security is the responsibility of the prefectures. At the national level, security falls within the responsibility of the Ministry of the Interior, Domestic Security and Local Freedoms.
A Governance Structure Guaranteeing the Effectiveness of the Security Framework
The governance structure will play out in two stages:
• Until January 2008, the General Inspector of Games Security (GIGS) will represent the Ministry of the Interior, Domestic Security and Local Freedoms within the Olympic Coordination Organisation (OCOO).
• Starting from January 2008, a Games Security Task Force, built around the GIGS, will represent the Ministry of the Interior, Domestic Security and Local Freedoms alongside the Paris OCOG Security Directorate, within the Olympic Security Organisation (OSEO).
A Large and Actively Mobilised Workforce
During the peak period of the Games, the security workforce will consist of as many as 28,850 people. If necessary, 3 000 military personnel and 15,000 additional civil and military officers may be added.

Q: add c# user control to existing asp.net vb.net project I've got an existing asp.net project written in vb.net. Another person has written a user control in c#.
Could you please let me know the steps for adding that C# user control to the vb.net app?
I've tried copying them to the folder and using "Add existing item", however it doesn't compile the code behind at all.
Thanks,
Fidel

A: create a new asp.net user control library project with c#, add C# user control to that project, than in your visual basic project add reference to that library and that's it ;)

A: You could use this tool to add the control to the VS toolbox.
An example of usage (choose either /vs2005 or /vs2008 depending on your VS version):
TOOLBOX.EXE [/vs2005] [/vs2008] /installdesktop assembly tabname

A: The C# control will need to be in a seperate dll. You can then add a reference to this dll in your vb project. Then register the control in the page directive or web.config, like normal.

A: Just wanted to add another way to accomplish this, as I was just about to ask a question regarding this topic and figured out the solution.
If you truly need to bring over the raw user control files into a new project, you will find simply adding them via 'Add -> Existing Item...' will make each file come into the solution independently and not structure them properly in Solution Explorer.
The trick is to open up the (2) associated user control code files outside of VS.NET prior to adding to your solution and modify thier namespace to be that of your new project. So if in the old project your namespace was:
MyOldProject.CustomControls
...you will want to rename in the .cs and .Designer.cs to the following:
MyNewProject.CustomControls
Then when you go back into VS.NET add add all of the existing items, they will be in their proper arrangement as follows:
MyControl.cs
-->MyControl.Designer.cs
-->MyControl.resx
-->MyControl

← Interfaith Alliance and OK Affiliates Call on Fallin to Remove 10 Commandments Monument
Letter to Tulsa Mayor Dewey Bartlett Calling for Compassionate Response →
Posted on August 17, 2015 by bobl
The Interfaith Alliance of Oklahoma, along with the Tulsa Interfaith Alliance, the national Interfaith Alliance, the Oklahoma Center for Community and Justice, the Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Respect Diversity Foundation, and others issued the following statement to Governor Mary Fallin and the leadership of the Oklahoma legislature calling on the removal of the Ten Commandments monument from the Oklahoma Capitol grounds. Members of all the supporting agencies are being invited to copy this letter and send it to their respective Senators and Representatives.
"We strongly support the decision of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, that the Ten Commandments monument should not be on the grounds of our state Capitol. Others have pointed out that this monument on state government property violates the letter and spirit of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The Oklahoma County District Attorney has made an eloquent personal statement, as a committed Christian, as to why placing this monument on the grounds of state government is inappropriate, offensive to many, and even hypocritical.
"The wording of the Oklahoma Constitution is very clear and the Supreme Court has done what it is supposed to do – to rule on the constitutionality of a law or action. We urge that our legislators, Governor, other Oklahoma officials, and Oklahoma citizens accept and obey this ruling. This was not a close decision, but a 7 to 2 vote, so a reversal of their decision was very unlikely. The Oklahoma Attorney General asked for a judicial review of the decision, and the Oklahoma Supreme Court turned this down. Further attempts to reverse this decision would be a significant waste of taxpayers' money.
"The Ten Commandments are important to many of us as a religious document. That they are part of the expression of our religious beliefs, and play a role in guiding our relationship with God and with our fellow human beings is not altered or prevented by insisting that the state abstain from any action, including funding, that would favor or promote any one religion or part thereof. There is nothing in our national constitution nor in our state constitution that refers to the Ten Commandments. To treat them as an "historical document" trivializes their religious significance, and is not an acceptable argument for placing them on the grounds of government property.
"Those who would like to classify our nation as a Christian nation would do a grave disservice to the founders of our nation and to the citizens of our nation and state today. Our founders, whatever their personal religious beliefs, clearly were opposed to the creation of a theocracy. Governed by colonial England, in which there was an official state religion, and in which the relationship between crown and church involved a history of persecution of other religions, they had no desire to allow anything similar to be part of the free nation they were creating here in America. Indeed, they realized then, as we should realize now, that the various legislative proposals that would move us in the direction of a national religion would lead to a nation in which people of all but one religion would be merely tolerated, second class citizens. Too many have forgotten the history of Protestant colonies persecuting Catholics, and Catholic colonies persecuting Protestants. Baptists had much to fear from other Christian denominations in the Colonies. Such a situation repeatedly has been the cause of prejudicial persecution in other nations over a span of centuries. How many people of various religions, including Christian denominations, fled their home countries for this reason? How many people of various faiths have been uprooted and/or persecuted by theocratic domination, something they hoped would not happen or that they did not think could happen? Our constitution seeks to preserve true freedom of religion: freedom of religion and freedom from religion, freedom to practice one's religion of choice or not to do so.
"We also are very concerned about the calls to impeach members of the Supreme Court or to return to the discredited idea of electing and re-electing members of our higher courts. Our Supreme Court did exactly what it was supposed to do. Acting independently from the other branches of government, it decided NOT what the majority may want, but what is constitutional. Our nation's founders knew how important it is to prevent the tyranny of the majority from depriving others of their constitutional rights. Our legislative branch has the right to make laws. We expect our legislators to be smart enough and responsible enough not to pass laws which, predictably, are unconstitutional and will waste taxpayers' money with subsequent appeals. The current process for selection of justices in our higher courts is a good one, one that provides for selection of highly competent individuals, preserves their independence, and prevents legislators or the governor from threatening them when their decision is not what the legislature or governor want."

Q: Invoke self to bypass different threads? C# I have been looking around for about 3 hours and can not get this invoke to work. I need the invoke because whats calling it is in a different thread and says its unstable.
Here's what I'm calling (I call it like this textBox1_TextChanged(null, null);):
 private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     if(this.InvokeRequired)
     {
        this.Invoke(this?WHAT GOES HERE, null); // I know it should be a delegate or something but I can't change this to that
     }
     else
     {
        string temp = "";
        temp += TextToAdd;
        textBox1.Text = "s";
     }
}

A: You can use BeginInvoke to update the UI from other Thread.
if (this.InvokeRequired)
{
  var action = new Action(() => textBox1.Text = "s");
  this.BeginInvoke(action);
}


"The (in)visibility of "language" within Australian educational documen" by Sophie McIntosh, Renae O'Hanlon et al.
McIntosh, S., O'Hanlon, R. & Angelo, D. (2012). The (in)visibility of "language" within Australian educational documentation: Differentiating language from literacy and exploring particular ramifications for a group of "hidden" ESL/D learners. In C. Gitaski & R. B. Baldauf Jr (Eds.), Future directions in applied linguistics: Local and global perspectives (pp. 447-468). United Kingdom: Cambridge Scholars Publishing.
Languages are a significant aspect of personal, collective and cultural identities. Developing proficiency in any particular language is also essential for learning to be literate in that language. Although these statements may appear obvious, the importance of language (i.e. both Standard Australian English (SAE) and other languages) is often assumed, rather than explicitly acknowledged, in the Australian education system. This can be explained, in part, by Australia's monolingual mindset (Clyne, 2005), but is also due to broad educational discourses that dominate language. The expanding definition of literacy, for example-whilst including a broader set of skills and knowledge than traditional notions of (print) literacy-carries the propensity for language issues to be backgrounded. This paper examines the place given to both literacy and language across a range of both Australian and Queensland-specific educational documents. If language is not made visible within educational discourse, there can be ramifications for students learning English as a Second/Subsequent Language or Dialect (ESL/D), particularly those with complex, less recognised language backgrounds, such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students who speak contact languages (i.e., creoles and related varieties). As improving Indigenous students' (English) literacy performance is targeted at both national and state levels, it is critical that language be clearly distinguished from literacy, so as to determine their respective roles in student performance. This chapter argues for language to be acknowledged in influential data sets and recommends that it be made distinct within future discussions of literacy in educational documents.
