Here is a fun way for students to practice lowercase to lowercase letter matching and/or uppercase to lowercase matching.
With a few dollar store finds, you can make this cute spring station for your classroom. I bought little bunny erasers for students to cover their answers, but you can use any small manipulative. I also added the egg scooping scissors to add some fine motor practice. If you don't have letters small enough to fit into the eggs, you can print the paper letters included in the download. You will need 26 plastic eggs or 29 if you will be using the Spanish letters too.
I hope your students enjoy learning their letters with this station!

Why Parents Hate Summer Break
The U.S. has a summer childcare crisis.
Chandra Thomas Whitfield August 7, 2019

Children across America are spending memorable sunny days splashing at the pool, doing arts and crafts or attending STEM camps, but 6‑year-old Jaelyn's summer has not been as eventful. Much of it has been spent indoors.
Summer childcare is especially tricky—difficult to find, expensive and misaligned with the schedules of working parents.
Since her elementary school let out in May, she's been shuttled among relatives and family friends. The farthest lives 27 miles away, a 40 to 60-minute drive. Occasionally — for $25 — her former preschool teacher watches her for the day.
Jaelyn's mother, Sheila Custard, says the best she can manage is to keep her daughter safe and occupied while she, a single parent, works Monday through Friday as a payroll specialist for a human resources management company in Aurora, Colo. Like most parents who work outside the home, her schedule does not change during the summer months.
There is a summer camp that serves Jaelyn's age group less than two miles away. The $100 a week tuition is modest in comparison to many specialty camps—day camp costs average $199 a week and can go as high as $800 a week, according to the American Camp Association. Still, the price is too high for Custard, who is saddled with medical debt. Custard would also have to dole out an additional $50 a week for before and after care to accommodate her 8:45 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. work schedule.
Since accepting a promotion that came with a modest raise in March, Custard is $86 over the income limit for the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program, which would have covered part or all of Jaelyn's camp costs.
So, for now, Jaelyn spends most days in the care of the 12-year-old daughter of nearby family friends, who babysits Jaelyn alone at their home while they, too, are away at work. Custard checks in by phone several times a day. For safety reasons, the girls are forbidden to play outside or walk to the neighborhood pool. They pass the time with tablets and smartphones, or goof around dancing to YouTube music videos.
"Without [these family friends] I don't know what I would have done," says Custard, who pays the tween babysitter what she can afford: $30 a week.
"Keeping up with all of the different places that I have to take her is so exhausting," Custard adds, exasperation evident in her voice. "It's not just the financial piece that overwhelms me. The mental stress also takes its toll."
(This pool visit is a rare treat with mom. On summer weekdays, Jaelyn is babysat by a local 12-year-old. For safety reasons, they aren't allowed to walk alone to the pool. Photo by Sebastian Fortuño)
Custard's predicament is the norm for many working parents in the U.S.: Two in three elementary-aged children have no stay-at-home parent, the average school day is 6.5 hours and the average workday is 8 hours, making high-quality childcare a year-round necessity. Summer childcare is especially tricky — difficult to find, expensive and misaligned with the schedules of working parents, even those like Custard who work the traditional 9 to 5.
A Center for American Progress (CAP) analysis of data from the Afterschool Alliance's America After 3PM survey, released in 2018, concluded that a typical family of four could expect to pay more than $3,000 for summer programs — about 20% of that family's average take-home pay for the summer.
"That's more than double the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' childcare affordability threshold of 7%," notes Cristina Novoa, a senior policy analyst for early childhood policy at CAP, a liberal D.C. think tank. "The survey findings were eye-popping, to say the least."
Novoa was the lead researcher on last year's analysis and a May 2019 CAP study that asked 1,000 parents of children ages 0 to 13 in all 50 states about summer childcare. Three in four reported at least some difficulty finding care and 57% said they had to make difficult trade-offs, such as shortened work hours or unpaid time off, that resulted in substantial income losses and, many felt, threatened their job security.
Costs and affordability ranged greatly by state. Wisconsin was the most affordable: A family of four earning the state median income could expect to pay just over $1,400 for summer care for two children, 9% of the average income of a two-parent family in those months. The same family in Nevada could expect to spend more than $6,700 on summer childcare — more than half of its income over the summer months.
Children left home alone "are often scared and lonely," says Marie Hartwell-Walker, Ed.D., a retired marriage and family therapist and contributor to PsychCentral.com. "In order to keep them safe, their parents don't allow them to be out playing with other kids. As a result, many kids left alone don't properly develop the social skills that come from being engaged with their peers."
They're also at higher risk of obesity, she says: "When kids are inside and alone most of the time, many eat for entertainment and as a way to deal with the boredom and loneliness they feel." And research shows children often do not respond safely in emergencies like fires.
"We also know that when children are bored, they can become very inquisitive in both positive and negative ways," says Mimi LeClair, president and CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, whose 20-plus Chicago-area clubs currently provide low-cost summer programming for nearly 20,000. "There is so much risk for our young people to become victims — or perpetrators — of violence, especially if they're left unattended for extended periods." Experts also say a lack of exposure to some academic programming over the summer can widen an existing achievement gap for children in lower-income families.
MEETING SPECIAL NEEDS
Kimberly Willis Green lives in suburban Henry County, Ga., and is a divorced mother of three boys (14, 13 and 9). She says that parents, like her, of children with special needs face particular summer care challenges. In 2013, her son Capers was abruptly released from a special-needs summer camp. He has mild cerebral palsy and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy.
"I thought I had a [summer] plan for him that week, and basically it fell apart after two days," recalls Green. "I was told he could not stay because the program's staff was not adequately trained to administer his emergency seizure medication Diastat, which is similar to an EpiPen."
Green, who volunteers with the nonprofit Parent 2 Parent of Georgia, a parental advocacy group for children with special needs, says many compete for a miniscule number of slots in "inclusive" summer programs. The few who get their children in, she says, are often saddled with higher fees, usually for extra staffers or other specialized support.
Green's middle son, Kyle, has Asperger syndrome, a condition on the autism spectrum. Despite record numbers of diagnoses in recent years, she says many summer programs are still ill-equipped.
"I call it the 'invisible disability,'" Green says. "He struggles with social interaction and some behavioral issues. And because of those issues, kids like him are [often] dismissed from camp."
Nina LeMieux, a single mom of three in the sleepy town of Barre, Vt., shared an emotional story with Vermont legislators in April. When the childcare facility her three children attended abruptly closed with only 20 days notice, it set off a chain reaction. LeMieux had to resign from her full-time state job with benefits to stay home with them, then ages 6, 4 and 5 months. She found replacement care in six months, but lost her savings, much of her retirement money and, finally, her apartment.
Testimony from LeMieux and others helped inspire the state legislature to pass a budget that included $7.4 million in childcare investments, including a boost for the Child Care Financial Assistance Program (CCFAP), which subsidizes both year-round and summer care.
LeMieux now works a temporary, part-time position with no benefits or paid time off with the state of Vermont. This summer, she'll receive a CCFAP subsidy for childcare — but her out-of-pocket costs remain $165 for her three children, 31% of her monthly gross income. She's considering moving her older kids to a school district closer to their father's home for more childcare options.
The childcare quandary has emerged as a hot talking point among many of the 2020 presidential race contenders, including Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren (Mass.) and Sen. Kamala Harris (Calif.), who have proposed sweeping federal interventions. In February, Sen. Patty Murray (D‑Wash.) and Rep. Bobby Scott (D‑Va.) reintroduced the Child Care for Working Families Act.
The measure, originally introduced in 2017, would guarantee childcare assistance for low-income and middle-class families with children younger than 13. The bill would ensure that childcare cost no more than 7% of their income. Supporters are optimistic about its fate with a Democratic House majority.
CAP's report also cites other potential solutions, such as the expansion of the federal Child Care and Development Block Grant program, which provides funding to states for after-school or summer care.
Novoa says 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLCs), the only federally funded community-based after-school and summer programs, are an underutilized resource that could be tapped. CCLCs currently serve 2 million children year-round and more than 300,000 over the summer. But Novoa believes "that is just a fraction of what is needed," noting that 21 million youth are eligible.
Chicago mother Wanda Noyes agrees that policymakers should look at expanding the 21st CCLCs, as well as subsidizing affordable programs like the YMCA and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Noyes' seven children "grew up" in Boys & Girls clubs, which kept them out of trouble and engaged academically and socially, she says. Two of her children, one a rising high school senior and the other a soon-to-be college freshman, completed a transit authority internship and a pharmacy tech training program, respectively, that they landed through the programs. Now the director of the same branch her children attended, she says she is convinced America's childcare accessibility problem won't change until those in power make a point of it.
"There should be a viable place for all of our kids to go, to be safe and to learn, instead of getting into trouble and being out on the streets," she says. "It should be everybody's business to make this a priority."

Q: Send by post with restangular I'm trying to send by post a json with restangular but this don't return me anything.
Code:
$scope.userPost = {

        title: 'foo',
        body: 'bar',
        userId: 1
    }

    $scope.registerUser=function(){
        $scope.people = Restangular.all('post').post($scope.userPost);
        console.log($scope.people);
    }

It return me this:
{ "restangularCollection": false, "$object": {} }
http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/post 404 (Not Found)

Usually I use this with ajax and it return me a json:
$.ajax('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts', {
  method: 'POST',
  data: {
    title: 'foo',
    body: 'bar',
    userId: 1
  }
}).then(function(data) {
  console.log(data);
});

Any ideas ?

A: Restangular works with promises, so, you should be doing something like:
$scope.registerUser = function () {
    Restangular.all('post').post($scope.userPost).then((data) => {
        $scope.people = data;
        console.log($scope.people);
    });
}

Or you can take advantage of its enhanced promises and do something like:
$scope.registerUser = function () {
    $scope.people = Restangular.all('post').post($scope.userPost).$object;
}

A: In Angular 4+
constructor(private restangular: Restangular){}

// latter in your method
const baseUsers = this.restangular.all('post');
baseUsers.post({'title':'foo','body': 'bar','userId': '1'})
.subscribe(data => { console.log(data); });

Jurassic Park. Damn this movie is good. One of those movies where just skimming through search results looking for a good headline image had me smiling. Dr. Sattler is up there amongst the best heroines of the last couple decades. Smart, tough, funny, bold, decisive. ("We can discuss sexism in survival situations when I get back.") There's a lot of humor I'd forgetten in this one.
I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power that you're using here, it didn't require any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it.
Also nice to see an action/thriller that, despite it's crazy dinosaurs, is very human. It isn't heavily reliant on overt evil, just self-interest and shortsightedness that devolves (see what I did there) in just about the worst ways possible. And the heroes are pretty regular people, out of their depth, but thinking on their feet and for the most part working together. Even the kids make some good decisions.
Maybe the best sequence in the whole thing is where that teamwork is undercut by each group working with limited information. Dr. Grant and the kids are making their way back to HQ, while the folks at HQ are working to get the power back on. It's brilliant. Each group is separately in danger, each one needs to succeed, and the success of one group of good guys, at the wrong time, is really gonna screw over the others. I'm surprised more movies don't do something like that – the same team accidentally working at cross-purposes.
If you haven't seen this in a while… fix that.

HIMSS18: Separating AI hype from reality
Elizabeth Regan for CIO Dive
Jeff Byers @jeffpbyers
LAS VEGAS — Is artificial intelligence overhyped?
That's the question James Golden, managing director of PwC Health Advisory, and Christopher Ross, chief information officer at Mayo Clinic, posed to an at-capacity education session at HIMSS18 on Tuesday.
"It's not overhyped. We have enough data," Golden said. If you have clinical, imaging, claims and genomics datasets as well as enough computing power to ask well-formulated questions, AI can help meet the healthcare industry's triple aim, he said.
"In some ways, [AI] couldn't be more hyped than it is," Ross countered, adding the hype around AI is not just in healthcare. We still don't have self-driving cars flitting around suburban streets.
However, the tools exist, Ross said. The challenge is whether the physicians will trust and adopt the technology. "At the core is, as technologists, can we look our physician partners in the eyes and make them believe [AI is] reliable," Ross said.
Trust by physicians will be key, Ross said. "One of the grand challenges [in healthcare] is physicians staying abreast of leading practices. The physicians hungry for these results are the ones that feel beleaguered," he said.
In essence, the goal of hitting the industry's triple aim gives AI a mission statement, Golden told Healthcare Dive before the session. Then, the question moves to how AI can do the work of improving quality, cutting healthcare costs and improving the health of populations.
Ross told the audience AI investment should advance at least one of the arms of the triple aim.
Once you have the mission statement, an organization can ask and answer questions, including whether an AI strategy is trying to replace, augment or improve the work of physicians, Golden said. "Those are important questions to ask even though it sounds a little silly to say," he said.
For example, with an integrated delivery network with 100 hospitals that employs 11,000 radiologists, will the system reduce the number to 5,000 radiologists as a cost-cutting measure or employ the same number with the ability to process more images, potentially increasing revenue streams?
"If you take 50 steps in the workflow and reduce it to 10 steps, isn't that a good thing?" Golden said.
For Mayo, Ross said the goal is to augment human intelligence and make tools that allow a physician to practice at the top of their abilities.
Both Ross and Golden said AI could be used to improve the life of a physician by easing workload. In theory, this could help patient outcomes downstream by fostering a long-term and enriching patient-provider relationship. And the evidence points to machines being able to do the work, Ross said.
In one highlighted study, an AI algorithm performed at least 91% as well as human physicians when tested against 21 dermatologists on the ability to identify malignant skin conditions and benign lesions. Another showed supervised machine learning could predict the status of certain tumors, serving as a non-invasive biomarker.
Machines are better at seeing and remembering things, Ross said, looking to the amount of information and data points physicians must remember.
"We're not just close. We're there," Golden told Healthcare Dive. "There's a small leftover tipping point." To him, that point will be physicians' willingness to adopt and define the use cases for themselves.
Healthcare Dive Robots are not coming for physicians' jobs — but that doesn't mean new tech won't change workflows

Walk along and peek into other windows and you may see Andrew Leuck pulling molten glass out of a glowing furnace.

In 1999 Greg Lueck and Rebecca Seymour renovated the turn-of-the-century Vancouver National Bank Building to create a space for Firehouse Glass, one of the few art glass working centers in the Northwest. Andrew's father, professional glass artist Greg Lueck, had become enamored with blowing glass when he took classes in at the Pacific Northwest College of Art in Portland. But, after he and other students completed a class, they had nowhere satisfactory to go to continue to create glass art. They hired an architect who designed the current open space housing world-class equipment and a place for glass artists to work and learn.
Three Levels of History and Work Space
Andrew Lueck, who learned the art of blown glass from his father, manages the rambling space. He walked me through the fascinating building. The wood and marble floors from the bank are still there. But what's really interesting is the vault. Inside the vault, which is used as a tool room, was an alarm panel with a bell and old-fashioned batteries. Lueck pointed out that small wires lined the vault. If the wires vibrated even a tiny bit, the alarm would go off.
He then explained how glass artists used the various furnaces on the first floor. The main gas furnace, kept at 2,000 degrees, runs 24/7. The main floor is called the Hot Shop… and it was. It's the place you'll see the glass blowing demonstration during the First Friday Art Walk downtown.

When you enter the building, you'll see a marvelous display of art glass. A large purple and pink piece caught my eye. It had undulating lines of thick glass. Andrew explains, "This piece is by the famous glass artist Fritz Dreisbach. They filmed a story of his life work here at Firehouse Glass." While hand-blown glass smoking pipes and Christmas ornaments are more commonplace nowadays, it's fun to see the work of famous artists, too.
Downstairs I saw yet another massive vault, the black metal door made in Portland with a hand painted scene on the front. The room had several stations with equipment like grinders and polishers. At one of the machines I met glass artist Saul Magaña, who was polishing a small piece with an etched design. That area was termed the Cold Shop.
And then upstairs — with domed windows surrounding classroom space — was a place that instructors could rent to teach other forms of glass art making lampwork beads, stained glass. I looked through the wavy glass windows overseeing downtown Vancouver and thought that those must have been the original, turn-of-the-century glass windows.
Learning to Work with Glass

Andrew shares, "I will teach anyone over 12 how to blow glass." As we talked, his family came in with visitors from California. They were going to be learning how to blow glass. Their first project: a cup. I watched as they excitedly chose colors and then learned how to get glass from the large furnace to start their project. With Andrew's wife Sami assisting, the young people learned how to carefully work the glass. The couple, who live in Fruit Valley, have four children between them. It's a busy household.
Firehouse Glass offers private lessons seven days a week for groups or individuals, from beginner through advanced skill levels, in each of the following studios: hot shop, cold shop, warm shop and the torch working/ bead making studio. You can learn art glass skills as a fun outing with friends or as a team building experience. Lueck is flexible. Everything is arranged by appointment. Call 360-695-2660 or contact Firehouse Glass via email at info@firehouseglass.com.

When you venture to Downtown and Uptown Vancouver on First Fridays, you'll enjoy open galleries and places for drinking and dining. It's during First Friday that Firehouse Glass is open to the general public. From 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. there is a public glass blowing demonstration in the Hot Shop, which is a wonderful opportunity to meet the artists and mingle with the local and regional glass working community.
Firehouse Glass is located at 518 Main Street on the South West corner of 6th and Main in downtown Vancouver.

Strained tomatoes, called "passato" in Italian, are traditionally used in making meat sauces for pasta.
1. Place tomatoes in a large stockpot, working in batches, if needed. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Add salt, and reduce heat to medium; simmer 15 minutes, uncovered. Remove from heat; let cool slightly.
2. Using a ladle or large spoon, skim off the released juices that have accumulated in the pot; set aside in a large bowl (depending on the size of the tomatoes, you should have 4 to 7 cups liquid). Pass tomatoes through a food mill on the finest holes into a separate large bowl.
3. Place a large basil leaf in the bottom of each pint or quart jar; fill with tomatoes. Clean and dry top rim of each jar with a kitchen towel, and place lids and rings on jars; twist tightly to seal.
The accumulated juice can be saved in separate jars; it is rich in flavor and can be used instead of vegetable stock.

Russian Far East Cruises
Home > Destinations > Arctic > Russian Far East
Russian Far East Cruises will take you through a landscape of remote islands, ice-covered volcanoes, and lush green valleys winding through jagged mountain ranges.
The Russian Far East is unique in its culture, climate, history and wildlife; it is worlds away from the Russia you might have already visited.
Migratory birds fill the skies while ancient pine and spruce trees stand tall beneath snow-covered mountaintops. This is a place that few foreigners have ever seen – a world of ice rich in life both on land and in the frigid waters beyond. Explore earth's northernmost World Heritage Site, Wrangel Island, home to the planet's greatest concentration of polar bear dens. Circle 'The Ring of Fire' volcanoes as they blast steam and ash into the sky. Discover the incomparable Kuril Islands, with its huge diversity of avian and marine life. Being so remote, the Russian Arctic has few roads and very little infrastructure thus is best discovered on an expedition-style cruise.

Russian Far East Cruise
Cruise Spectacular Landscapes
Nature exists here on a grand scale. Glide past the spectacular volcanic landscapes of the "Ring of Fire", the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuril Islands.
The landscapes of the Russian Far East are amongst the most awe-inspiring on earth. The Wrangel and Herald islands in the High Arctic offer incredible polar bear and walrus encounters, stunning bird cliffs, endemic vegetation, mammoth tusks and ice-laden seas that are rich in marine wildlife.
View Amazing Wildlife
The rarely visited wilderness of the Russian Far East is a treasure trove of biodiversity, with Wrangel Island boasting the highest density of polar bear dens in the world.
Wrangel Island also boasts the world's largest population of Pacific walrus. While you're there, look out for brown bear, reindeer, red and Arctic fox, wolf, sea otter, seals and whales. Upwellings along the "Ring of Fire" attract millions of migratory sea birds and you can also hope to encounter blue whale, fin, sperm, humpback and gray whales as well as orca (killer whale), Baird's beaked-whale and Dall's porpoise.
Explore The Kamchatka Peninsula
This is an untamed and breathtakingly beautiful landscape of snow-capped volcanic mountains, tundra and forest.
On cruises here you will explore river mouths, fjords, bays and islands that abound in fascinating flora and fauna. See brown bear, reindeer, walrus, sea lion, gray and beluga whales and birds such as Tufted Puffin, Red-faced Cormorant, Red-legged Kittiwake, Pigeon Guillemot, Horned Puffin, Parakeet, Crested and Whiskered Auklets plus many species of ducks and geese. Visit local settlements and discover the fascinating history of early Ainus.
Visit The Stunning Kuril Islands
Comprised of 56 islands with around 40 active volcanoes, the Kuril Islands form part of the Pacific's "Ring of Fire".
The islands' dramatic landscapes feature snow-capped volcanoes, tundra, and forest. Wildlife abounds; look for sea otters, seals, gray whales and extraordinary birdlife, including Tufted Puffins and Crested and Whiskered Auklets. The islands also have a fascinating human history; discover relics left behind by the original Ainu inhabitants, an abandoned Soviet Era submarine base and the remains of Japanese fortifications.
On Top Of The World: Wrangel & Herald Islands
Lying beyond the Arctic Circle, the incredibly bio-diverse Wrangle and Herald islands are reached via the narrow waterway of the Bering Strait between the USA and Russia.
Both islands boast mind-boggling biodiversity and are popular with polar bears during breeding season. Wrangel also has the world's largest population of Pacific walrus and lies near important feeding grounds for gray whales that migrate all the way from Baja, Mexico. Additionally, reindeer, muskox and Snow Geese are commonly seen further inland. If conditions are right, you may be able to visit massive bird cliffs on nearby Herald Island. The islands' stunning 'mammoth steppe' vegetation is an astounding relic from the Pleistocene epoch with over 400 plant species, many of which are endemic. Recent mammoth tusks and skulls have been found here, and visitors can explore the area on foot and by Zodiac.
Shore Explorations
Expect regular excursions ashore in search of terrestrial wildlife or in inflatable Zodiac boats, gliding past marine mammals and impressive bird cliffs.
Anyone of average fitness and agility can get into and out of Zodiacs. To avoid getting wet, you should wear wet weather gear and high rubber boots (wellies or gum boots). Some landings are "dry" while others are "wet". Zodiacs were developed by the famous Jacques Cousteau and these nimble, rugged boats are the best way to get to shore quickly and efficiently in the challenging polar conditions, as well as being lots of fun.
Sea Kayak The Pacific "Ring of Fire"
Paddle the waters of "The Ring of Fire", an area notorious for seismic activity.
Kayak excursions are in small groups with guides and some experience is necessary. Participants generally visit the same sites as the Zodiacs but enjoy a bit more independence and the opportunity to enter areas not possible in Zodiacs. The coastlines of the Russian Far East offer a wide array of habitats from sandy bays to rugged cliffs which are sanctuaries for nesting seabirds, fish and marine mammals. Please note that sea kayaking is only available on certain voyages and is subject to weather conditions. Please request this option (additional cost) at the time of booking.
Brochure Pages
We have a unique selection of Russian Far East cruise options carefully chosen for their itineraries, as well as the vessels used.

Russian Far East Overview
Why Russian Far East: This wild and remote area is perfect for cruising and offers magnificent scenery, abundant wildlife, fascinating archaeological remains, traditional local culture and historic remains from the Soviet era. Wrangel Island offers good opportunities for polar bear sightings.
Climate: Like all northern climes the weather is unpredictable and you need to be prepared for all occasions. Cruising takes place during spring and summer, with longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures. Ice will remain in the High Arctic and on mountain tops but the shores of the Kamchatka Peninsula and the Kuril Islands can be quite temperate.
Combine With: The Russian Far East can be reached by air from Alaska, so you can extend your holiday with a visit to Alaska or Canada. Cruise the Inside Passage, visit Denali National Park or explore the Rocky Mountains. Please see our Canada & Alaska program for more details.
Getting There: It is possible to fly from Anchorage to Petropavlovsk-Kamchatskiy for Ring of Fire cruises, and to Anadyr (Chukotka and Wrangel Island cruises) can be reached from Nome in Alaska by charter flight across the Bering Sea.

Q: How to configure T4 template to generate classes in different project I'm using new Entity Framework 4.1 Model first approach that makes use of T4 templates to generate classes from visual model.
Can I configure that T4 templates to create POCO classes and Context classes (or at generally whatever they generate) in another project?
Please note that I don't want to move T4 template (file with .tt) to another project and then just change the template to EDMX file in persistence project. I want it to really generate that classes in another project then the location of template. Is that possible ?
Thank you for answers

Notes: this is no duplicate of question Generate POCO classes in different project to the project with Entity Framework model as author there wanted just what I don't: move the whole template together with classes generated.
I fully understand that moving the whole template will not mean that the other project will become persistence aware. Still, I have my reasons why I don't want it in the same project with POCO classes.

A: Multiple projects sharing the same templates
Whenever I use shared T4 templates I:

*

*create a solution folder

*put my generation T4 template in it and set its extension to ttinclude

*add additional T4 templates to my projects wherever needed but with tt extension

*depending on template functionality, they may only have to reference the shared ttinclude template as in this example of mine that I use to generate enum types of database lookup tables;

If you're using provided templates you will have to modify them a bit to make this work, because they will have to reference EDMX file on a different location than default. You can as well provide this path as a local variable that you override in your per-project template so it will use the overridden path instead of default defined in the ttinclude file.

Chicago's Ada S. McKinley is way overdue for some appreciation, according to researchers who delved into her history as an early 20th century social reformer
By Darcel Rockett
The name Ada S. McKinley graces 70 sites across Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana under the banner of Ada S. McKinley Community Services Inc. According to CEO Jamal Malone, the agency serves more than 7,000 people annually within the arenas of child development, employment and mental health, and provides services that include: mentoring, college placement, foster care, housing support, family counseling and Head Start programs. And yet, McKinley has never received her proper due.
Ada S. McKinley, head of the South Side Settlement House, on Jan. 30, 1938. (Moffett Studio)
That's according to Malone, KangJae Lee, assistant professor at North Carolina State University, and Rodney Dieser, a University of Northern Iowa professor. The two academics recently published a research paper that won honors from The Academy of Leisure Sciences about McKinley's legacy and what they deem less than equal recognition of her compared with other social reformers, like Jane Addams, who founded Hull House. Chicago's first settlement house in 1889, Hull House provided food, housing, education and child care for poor and working-class families.
Lee speculates that Addams' upper class ties, writings and many awards may have overshadowed McKinley's welfare work after she founded the South Side Settlement House (SSSH) in 1919. Among the dozens of settlement houses in the city at that time, SSSH was the only settlement house fully staffed by African Americans, per Lee and Dieser's research. Since Addams was a white activist and McKinley a Black one, Dieser and Lee agree that race also factors into McKinley's lack of renown.
"I say this as a white person: White people wrote these things, and I think consciously some of them and others unconsciously wrote a white privileged history," Dieser said.
"We must understand that the dominant historical narrative is a product of certain viewpoints that usually suppresses or neglects other perspectives, whether intentionally or unintentionally," Lee said. "Given that Blacks were barred from contributing to mainstream American progress, it's more than reasonable to guess less research and public attention has been given to McKinley because of her race."

The few published materials that document McKinley's welfare work reveal her efforts to help Black Chicagoans after World War I, after the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, and during the Great Migration, the Great Depression and the 1919 Chicago race riots.
"Outside of a few articles by the Chicago Defender and the Chicago Tribune, very few media outlets reported on the work of McKinley," Malone said. "This was not a situation where archives were lost; it was a situation where you had a thriving organization that was not recognized ... by mainstream media or history books. She literally walked arm in arm with Jane Addams and other people to promote peace among residents for the race riots. When photos were taken and names were listed, she would be listed as 'and a Black woman' next to Jane Addams — they didn't even use her name."
Lee and Dieser's research notes that Jane Addams' Hull-House (800 S. Halsted St.) and the South Side Settlement House (3201 S. Wabash Ave.) were approximately 4 miles apart. While the Jane Addams Hull House Association closed after 123 years, McKinley's organization continues. Malone thinks that's because many of the issues that the Black community faced in McKinley's time are the same ones the community faces today.
"If you think about the work that Jane Addams did with Hull House, it's almost exactly the same, just with a different population being served, a different demographic due to segregation," Malone said. "Our services are needed just as much now."
"When I was doing this research, I was constantly amazed by the dedication that she (had) for the welfare and well-being of the South Side community," Lee said. "She started volunteering in the War Camp Community Service organization in 1918. At that point she was about 50 years old. At the age of 50, the desire for altruism and humanitarian value didn't fade away.
"And she really struggled. She didn't have enough money; the organization (SSSH) was always on the chopping board, but she somehow managed to help others. She is a true unsung hero that deserves more credit and more public attention."
Malone agrees. He is challenging other researchers and academics to do research on the contributions of lesser-known folks and to include McKinley in their work.
Amid asking for donations to support the mission of the nonprofit, Malone is seeking letters and material from community members and elders who might have been active on the South Side during McKinley's day. If they can share what they have with the Ada S. McKinley Community Services Inc. team, archives about McKinley will grow.
"The third ask is, from a recognition standpoint, we believe there should be a major street named after Ada Sophia McKinley, similar to Ida B. Wells," Malone said. "We're looking for local aldermen and city of Chicago officials to help us with this effort."
Lee and Dieser said their work on McKinley will continue. They have a focus on parks and recreation — another issue that Jane Addams and McKinley both worked on. (McKinley Park on the city's Southwest Side is not her namesake. It is named for President William McKinley.)
Dieser wants to delve more into the histories of settlement houses across the country. Lee said he was happy to discover McKinley's involvement in the recreational movement and wants to do more research on it, since McKinley's work on that front isn't mentioned in textbooks either.
"We're trying to tap into that and tell these counter-narratives that have been overlooked for whatever reason," Dieser said.

Yesterday I went to Braintree – a town in North Essex that I have never knowingly visited before. I went by train, passing through Witham, Cressing and White Notley. The train stops at Braintree and goes no further.
It is a small market town (population 45,000), set on the River Brain. In fact, my mum was a social work assistant here (one of the famous Braintree Five – my mum is on the far left).
I went to hear old friend John Power give a talk about Essex Rock Groups.The talk took place in the Braintree Museum, which was originally a junior school, built in the middle of the 19th Century.
John and I go back many years – we met first in Chelmsford and then later at Colchester Tec College where I was doing my A-levels (see my earlier post about the student newspaper, Outlook). John was doing art and went on to do a degree in Art and Psychology. He paints, but he also writes about Chelmsford and Essex history.
And yesterday he was talking about Essex Rock Bands. The Graham Bond Organisation, the Fairies, the Small Faces (Ilford), the Kursaal Fliers, Dr Feelgood (Canvey Island), Blur (Colchester), Prodigy (Braintree's own), to name just a few. What is interesting is how the members move from one group to another – Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker were members of the Graham Bond Organisation. Ronnie Lane, Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart all had a part to play in the Small Faces.
The talk ranged wide – from Suzi Quatro who lives in Chatham Green, through Ian Dury from Upminster, through to Eddie and the Hot Roads from Canvey Island and beyond. A good afternoon.
I wrote last year about the Saturday that my best friend Christine bought the record St James Infirmary, after listening to it in a booth in Daces, Chelmsford's music shop. It's still a great song.
You can read John's book about the Essex bands here on the website Chelmsford Rocks. In the meantime, listen to Back in the Night by Dr Feelgood, who came from Canvey Island. Dr Feelgood, the first Thames Delta Blues Band.
As you know, last year a new publisher, Bonnier Zaffre, bought Beyond the Beehive – my book about life in Chelmsford in the 60s – and after some additions and some editing, it was decided to rename the book 'The Essex Girls' and publish this April – next week in fact.
things have changed. The title of the book has changed (I think Essex Girls gave the wrong idea) and now it will be called The Saturday Girls and have a different cover and will come out in August.
I'm sorry for all this chopping and changing. I, for one, was getting very excited about the publication date – but I think the new title serves my Essex Girls better.

After 40 years serving the community of Parkdale, Pia Bouman School has recently faced an uncertain future as their current home at 6 Noble Street has been sold for re-development and PBS needed to relocate. In the end, the board's Real Estate committee closely considered more than 20 properties and visited a short list of 10 to 12 possible contenders.
The school has taken leased possession of a new space at 225 Sterling Road. The 9500 sq ft space has 30 ft ceilings and will inspire dancers young and old to soar.
PBS, a registered charity, seeks your support to help cover the renovation costs to meet the dance schools needs and moving costs once our new space is realized. The school will be fully operational in the Sterling Road space by Sept. 3 for the 2019/2020 season.
There are many ways you can help PBS – volunteer your labour or services and/or make a donation HERE.
King Street is the busiest surface route in the city, moving over 70,000 passengers per day before the pilot project. Taking transit on King street was unpredictable and stress inducing. It was often faster to walk than take the streetcar.
The King Street Pilot was introduced in November 2017 to address these issues by restricting through traffic and left turns at most intersections to prioritize transit vehicles between Bathurst and Jarvis St, the most congested part of the street.
Residents, commuters, and businesses along the corridor have called the King Street Pilot "transformational" and look forward to working with the City to improve it.
The future of the King Street Pilot will be decided by City Council in the next three weeks. Do want them to make it permanent and make it even better?

Now you can admit to having read it months ago!
I just wrote out my review–of course, I received my h/c in the mail yesterday morning. So, in fact, I just finished the re-read when the kids left for school. 🙂 Off to post!
Thanks, MC! Not being able to discuss it must have been eating you alive!
Good. Serves you right! For what, I don't know, but surely there's something!
I've been told that before. And they wonder why *twitch*.
ARGGGGG!!!! NEED SUNBLIND! I will make MC's life a living hell for this….and she, in turn, will probably vent on you, Mike!
It'll all be worth it in the long run. I promise!
Thank you both for your help with a successful launch!
Right on! Thanks! The more the merrier!
Thanks, Bruce! I really hope you like it! I'm anxious to hear what you think!


44 million document require one year for load on alfresco!!
I have added approximately 120 custom models,And i am trying to migration for move on alfresco our old system documents.There are approximately 44,000,000 document and when i try to load its on alfresco using java client, it requires approximately one year for complete transfer.But i dont have one year for migration.
Is there anybody who knows that How can it done the fastest migration???
You probably want to have some sort of upload tool. There's one developed by Peter Monks that uploads directly from filesystem to an alfresco repo.
There was a presentation on this type of requirement at the last alfresco DevCon. The other keys points I remember from that talk were were to turn indexing off on the server doing the uploading and to adjust the server to optimise the write use case. You probably also need to consider whether you can upload in parallel.
Our all documents are picture jpg file so I think they won't be indexing and i did not use indexing for metadatas of my custom models too.
I did try parallel upload but all threads are waiting each others so there is no differences abouth one thread or multi thread because threads are waiting by alfresco.I think alfresco use queue for upload.Why? i couldnt understand.
I will examine to OpenMigrate , i hope it can solve my problem.
If i needed to make it even faster I have looked at Peter's tool and it appears it should be a faster way..
It might help to post your server specs and memory settings..

Le château fort de Falkenstein est une forteresse du  située au nord du Weinviertel, près du bourg frontalier de Marktgemeinde Falkenstein. Le château domine la plaine de Moravie depuis un éperon calcaire rocheux, à  d'altitude.

Histoire

Construction
Cette forteresse d'empire fut édifiée vers 1050 et attribuée à la paroisse de Falkenstein. On suppose qu'elle a été édifiée dans le contexte de la seconde colonisation du Weinviertel par les comtes de Neuburg-Falkenstein, vassaux de l'empereur Henri III. En 1106 , par l'union de Léopold III avec la fille de l'empereur, Agnès de Waiblingen, ce château royal revenait en dot aux seigneurs de la région. Jusqu'en 1571 il demeura un fief princier.

Mais Falkenstein était régulièrement confié à des seigneuries locales : les princes de Liechtenstein, qui en étaient les maîtres entre 1480 et 1571, l'ont confié aux barons de Fünfkirchen. À la mort de Hans III Fünfkirchen, le château fut vendu au seigneur de Trautson, Johann Bernhard von Fünfkirchen, le fils de Hans .

Les baptistes et les geôles de Falkenstein
En 1539, 150 anabaptistes y furent incarcérés avant leur transfert à Trieste où ils furent vendus comme galériens. Il y avait parmi eux l'apologiste hutteriste Kaspar Braitmichel, qui parvint à prendre la fuite. Le calvaire des baptiste est rapporté en détail dans le  Miroir des martyrs.

En mémoire des martyrs baptistes détenus au château, un musée, le Täufergwölb, a été inauguré en juin 2011 dans l'enceinte. La réplique d'une galère a été reconstruite dans la cour.

Fief des barons de Trautson

En 1572, Maximilien II vend le château et les titres de Falkenstein à son précepteur, le baron Hans von Trautson. En 1600, le fils de ce dernier, Paul-Sixte III von Trautson, fait reconstruire Falkenstein dans le style Renaissance. Au sud, un rempart muni d'une redoute enferme une basse-cour (« la roseraie »), et forme une triple enceinte. Les travaux s'achèvent vers 1620 avec l'érection du clocher rond de la chapelle.

En 1645, au cours de l'ultime phase de la guerre de Trente Ans, les Suédois du général Lennart Torstensson s'emparent de la forteresse, sans même la détruire : c'est par un acte de trahison qu'ils obtiennent l'accès au château.

La ruine de Falkenstein
La décadence du château commence dès la fin du , ses propriétaires l'utilisant comme carrière de pierres. À la mort du baron Jean-Guillaume, dernier des Trautson, Falkenstein échoit à Heinrich Josef von Auersperg, puis aux barons de Bartenstein et en 1850 au comte Vrints zu Falkenstein, qui fait ouvrir l'accès des ruines du château aux visiteurs, et crée une fondation pour la sauvegarde de l'édifice. Depuis 1992, le Bundesdenkmalamt organise des fouilles archéologiques. Chaque été, les ruines servent de décor à des spectacles historiques et des reconstitutions de tournois de chevalerie.

Florida Declares State of Emergency as Hurricane Irma Continues to Gain Strength
Filed to:DANGER COMING
Image: NASA/GOES
A state of emergency has been declared in all Florida counties as the rapidly intensifying Hurricane Irma—now a Category 5 storm—is expected to cut a swath through the Caribbean and then shift northwards towards the US coast.
As residents along the US Gulf Coast begin the long and arduous process of recovering from Hurricane Harvey, a new threat is looming about 320 miles (515 km) east of the Leeward Islands. The latest observations from NOAA's National Hurricane Center show the storm moving westwards towards the Caribbean at about 14 mph (22 km/hr). Irma is expected to hit the Caribbean and possibly the US mainland later this week.
The latest NHC advisory warned that Irma will be a "major hurricane located somewhere north of Cuba and south of Andros Island in the Bahamas," and that "preparations should be rushed to completion in the hurricane warning area."

Reports from NOAA and US Air Force Hurricane Hunter aircraft show that Irma is continuing to gain strength, with maximum sustained winds approaching 175 mph (280 km/h) and with higher gusts. The "extremely dangerous hurricane" is forecast to remain a "powerful Category 4 or 5 hurricane during the next couple of days," says NOAA.
The storm's first landfall is expected early Wednesday on the island of Anguilla. From there, it's projected to drift west through the Caribbean, threatening Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, and dozens of other islands. The Leeward Islands are bracing for storm surges that could reach as high as seven to 11 feet.
Projections show the hurricane eventually turning northwards, where it could reach the Florida Keys and the east coast of Florida by Friday night. An evacuation decision for the Florida Keys could happen as early as today, as it can take about three days for residents to flee the state's southernmost regions.
Taking no chances, Florida governor Rick Scott declared a state of emergency in all 67 counties yesterday. His Puerto Rican counterpart, Ricardo Rosselló, has done the same. In Puerto Rico, worried residents are scrambling to collect supplies, such as food and drinking water. Some have lined up outside of stores for hours, concerned that power could be out for weeks. Schools have been cancelled, and many business remain closed. Similar scenes are playing out in Miami.
Other areas under hurricane warnings include the British and US Virgin Islands, Antigua, Barbuda, Anguilla, Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis, Saba, St. Eustatius, St. Martin/Sint Maarten, and St. Barts.
"Irma is expected to produce total rainfall accumulations of 4 to 8 inches with isolated maximum amounts of 12 inches across the northern Leeward Islands, the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico," warned NOAA. "These rainfall amounts may cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides."
If you live in any of the areas currently under a hurricane warning or watch, please take all necessary precautions and stay tuned to your local weather reports.

News: Introducing the Vacheron Constantin Historiques 'Cornes de vache' 1955. Pre-Watches & Wonders A Legendary Chronograph Makes its Appearance.
Celebrating a heritage forged by 260 years of uninterrupted expertise and innovation, Vacheron Constantin is enriching its Historiques collection with a classic chronograph fitted with iconic 'cow-horn' lugs. This contemporary interpretation of a legendary model created by Vacheron Constantin in 1955 embodies a remarkable blend of rigorous technicality and bold creativity. Featuring a central complication in line with the heritage of the Geneva-based Manufacture, the Historiques Cornes de vache 1955 ref. 5000H/000P-B058 is powered by the hand-wound Caliber 1142, housed in a 38.5 mm-diameter platinum case. This timepiece bearing the Hallmark of Geneva and issued in an exclusive production run is joining an exceptional collection dedicated to connoisseurs and which revives legendary Vacheron Constantin creations in a spirit of timeless excellence. In tribute to the famous creations punctuating this exceptional technical and creative heritage, the Historiques collection by Vacheron Constantin welcomes an exclusive new chronograph inspired by an iconic wristwatch developed by the Manufacture in 1955. Named 'Cornes de vache' 1955 because of its distinctively cow horn-shaped lugs, it embodies a singular combination of bold design and absolute technicality.
Born in the effervescence of the post-war years, this chronograph combining rigorous classicism and fanciful design is now reinterpreted in the spirit of the era that engendered it and naturally joins the Historiques collection devoted to the creative archetypes of Vacheron Constantin. This exceptional collection highlights the wealth of a heritage imbued with creative vivacity and horological excellence, breathing new life into the sought-after icons of the Geneva-based Manufacture, to the delight of vintage watch collectors and connoisseurs. Conveying this same innovative genius, the new Historiques Cornes de vache 1955 is a contemporary interpretation of the first water-resistant and anti-magnetic chronograph presented by Vacheron Constantin 60 years ago. Offering a striking aesthetic contrast with the sophisticated functions of the chronograph and its classic construction with twin round pushpieces, the 'cow-horn' lugs endow it with a genuine stylistic identity that is the Vacheron Constantin signature. This now legendary timepiece symbolizes the ancestral art of the Maison in creating high-end chronographs.
A modern transposition of an icon from the 1950s, the Historiques 'Cornes de vache' 1955 watch is inspired by the first water-resistant and anti-magnetic chronograph crafted by Vacheron Constantin: one of the three chronographs from the Manufacture that are most keenly coveted by collectors. Alongside its emblematic lugs, the original reference 6087 model featured a 35 mm-diameter round case in 18-carat yellow gold featuring twin "mushroom-type" pushpieces and a screwed-in back. This double-pusher chronograph equipped with a tachometric scale was powered by hand-wound Caliber 492, itself protected against magnetism by a soft iron cage. Fitted with two classic round pushpieces, the Historiques Cornes de vache 1955 model houses an exceptional mechanical heart, hand-wound Caliber 1142, beating at a frequency of 3 Hz to ensure the improved precision of the chronograph matched by greater better shock resistance of the balance wheel. Endowed with a 48-hour power reserve, this movement comprising 164 entirely hand-decorated movements drives displays of the hours, minutes, small seconds and central chronograph seconds, complemented by a 30-minute counter. Like the other new chronograph movements by Vacheron Constantin, the column-wheel screw is shaped like the Maltese cross that has become the emblem of the Manufacture.
A highly technical and accurate measuring instrument much appreciated in scientific circles, it nonetheless flaunted the originality of its daring aesthetic characteristics expressing Vacheron Constantin distinctive creative touch in the 1950s. The new Historiques Cornes de vache 1955 chronograph suggests a subtle tension between straight and curving lines, created by the traditional round shape of the case topped by stylized elongated lugs. This stylistic tension is accentuated by the discrepancy between technical rigor —expressed through the traditional precision of Swiss watchmaking— and extravagant creativity in terms of timepiece ornamentation. The result is a unique and novel concept that has come to symbolize Vacheron Constantin and is one of the three models most fervently sought after by collectors.
A reinvented legend, the new Historiques Cornes de vache 1955 appears in a 950 platinum 38.5 mm diameter case that is water resistant to 30 meters and features delicately polished 'cow-horn' lugs. The screwed-in case back is fitted with a transparent sapphire crystal serving to admire its entirely hand-decorated complex mechanical heart.
The original layout of the 30-minute counter at 3 o'clock and small seconds at 9 o'clock is scrupulously reproduced on this reinterpreted version, while its more contemporary diameter enables an airier display ensuring optimal readability of its functions. This broader opening reveals a silver-toned opaline dial punctuated by Roman numerals, applied hour-markers and hands in 18-carat white gold, while the central seconds hand, the 30-minute counter hand and the tachometric scale feature a royal blue shade further enhancing the perfect legibility of its display. In addition to bearing the prestigious Hallmark of Geneva, the Historiques Cornes de vache 1955 chronograph also meets the numerous demanding criteria of this independent and sovereign label that is a guarantee of provenance, top-notch precision, durability and watchmaking expertise. In keeping with this tradition, the Historiques 'Cornes de vache' 1955 is issued in a highly exclusive production run that will delight devotees of rare and coveted timepieces.
Dial: Silvered opaline center with sun-brushed external zone (minute-track and tachometer scale) with 18K white gold applied hour-markers.
Strap: Dark blue Mississippiensis alligator leather with alligator leather inner shell, hand-stitched, saddle-finish, large square scales with platinum 950 buckle with polished half Maltese cross-shaped.
