Here are the top five things you should know about this year's budget - the direct impacts are limited, but the lack of attention to boosting growth shows why small business needs to stand up if it wants to be heard.
The NSW Business Chamber's media response can be viewed here. If you would like to know more information on specific changes, you can view the ACCI Budget Summary (linked below).
Although Australia wide infrastructure spending increased by $20 billion, NSW will only get around $2 billion in extra infrastructure funding. That means NSW is getting less than 10% of the funding despite representing more than 30% of the population.
$1.4 billion of this is for the Westconnex project but is dependent on unrealistic funding conditions that have been attached by the Federal Government on the road's design.
Despite the higher taxes and spending cuts, the budget is projected to record an $18 billion deficit in 2013-14. A small $800 million surplus is predicted in 2015-16, but there's no reason to believe this prediction is any more credible than it has been over the past few years.
The budget forecasts economic growth of 2.75% and CPI of 2.25% in 2013-14.
The current predicament is a legacy of past decisions. Even if the Government claims that it will get back to surplus in 2015-16, a surplus position won't be sustainable once the full cost of the national disability insurance scheme comes on line in 2018-19.
There are structural issues with the current budgetary settings. A failure to rein in spending and bring back revenues will inevitably result in deficit budgets and Australia living beyond its means.
This is a budget that is targeted at boosting welfare spending. It's failed to focus on what needs to be done to grow the economy.
Fees and taxes are up by $25 billion over the forward estimates and even though small business owners will only pay some of this directly, higher taxes mean less consumer spending and lower revenue. The 0.5% increase in the Medicare levy from July 1 2014 will hit taxpayers across the board and will have a consequential impact on demand.
Businesses will also have the added burden of paying their employees 0.25% in extra super from 1 July this year. Increased fees for 457 visas, caps to self-education deductions and a raft of tax measures aimed at larger businesses will also impact on growth across the economy.
Several initiatives will assist business owners' engagement in the training system. These include increased support for skills with $68.8 million over four years to provide more flexible pathways for apprentices through the Alternative Pathways Program, $45 million to help streamline the delivery of government assistance through the Skills Connect Fund and $127 million to help vulnerable young people stay engaged with the workforce. The cuts to higher education funding remain a concern for business.

Q: Getting Error with ##TempTable I want to use ##TempTable to get value from oracle db in my sql Server query, but always get error, the error says
##TempTable is Invalid object name '##TempTable '.

here's the code where I use ##TempTable
SET @sQuery = 'SELECT * INTO ##TempTable
FROM OPENQUERY(ITCP,''SELECT * FROM DB.WINFO WHERE SCH_DATE = '''''+
CONVERT(VARCHAR(10),@DDATE,121) +''''''' ) A' EXEC(@sQuery)

I confused, Should I Declare Query to create the ##TempTable like create Table like usual or by that query the temp table should automatically created? because I always getting error

A: I think the issue is your temp table is being created in one scope, and your dynamic query is being executed in another.
A few things to try:

*

*Create the ##temptable first, then populate it in your dynamic query.

*Try prefixing the table name with tempdb.. (so tempdb..##temptable).

*Use a persistent table (not a temp table).
Hope this helps.

Q: Motivation behind the term, "precompact." Let $X$ and $Y$ be real Banach Spaces and let
$$
K:X\rightarrow Y
$$
be a bounded linear operator. Consider a sequence $\{u_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ in $X$. We call a sequence $\{Ku_k\}_{k=1}^\infty$ to be precompact in $Y$ if there exists a subsequence $\{u_{k_j}\}_{j=1}^\infty$ such that $\{Ku_{k_j}\}_{j=1}^\infty$ converges in $Y$.
My question. What is the significance of the name, "precompact"? I can see its similarity with the definition of sequential compactness. However, I am not able to fully comprehend (appreciate) this similarity. Could you please give me more insights into this definition and the name, "precompact"? Put simply, why is "precompact" a good name? By "good," I mean a name that provides some information about the entity it defines.
A more general definition is that of precompact sets (as pointed out by hal4math). A subset $E$ of a topological space $X$ is said to be precompact if its closure is compact.
Many thanks!

A: In the books about Banach spaces, one would often see phrases like "a subset $A$ of a Banach space $X$ is relatively (weakly) compact", or "$A\subset X$ is (weakly) precompact.
$A\subset X$ is relatively compact if the norm closure $\overline{A}$ is compact. $A\subset X$ is precompact if every sequence in $A$ has a norm Cauchy subsequence. Since a Banach space is norm-complete, the concepts precompact and relatively compact coincide.
Similarly, $A\subset X$ is relatively weakly compact if the weak closure $\overline{A}^w$ is weakly compact. $A\subset X$ is weakly precompact if every sequence in $A$ has a weakly Cauchy subsequence. Every relatively weakly compact subset of $X$ is weakly precompact by Eberlein-Šmulian theorem. However, the converse is not generally true since (unlike the norm-topology) the weak topology is not sequentially complete for all Banach spaces.

Quaresma Moves to the Middle East
January 18, 2013 / Sam Biggers	/ Leave a comment
Unattached to Al Alhi
In a bizarre, yet unsurprising move, Ricardo Quaresma has signed a contract at Al Ahli, in the UAE. Quaresma signed a year and a half contract, tieing him the the club until the end of next season. The winger had been without a club for a short time after he mutually terminated his contract at Turkish club Besiktas. At Besiktas, Quaresma enjoyed a rebirth, so much so that he was recalled to the Portuguese National Team, and even traveled with the squad to last summer's European Championships. Now, however, a call-up is unlikely. A large factor in this move was surely the money, as he was reportedly courting interest from such clubs as Liverpool in recent times. Now, however, he will be the star of the middle east, if, that is, he can keep his temper under control.
Portugal Under-19 coach Hélio Sousa has announced his squad for the 2017 U19 European Championship. To see it, click here.

The host unit at Mildenhall is the 100th Air Refueling Wing (100 ARW), which deploys aircraft for and manages the European Tanker Task Force, a rotational force which provides air refuelling to US and NATO aircraft in the European Theater. It is the only permanent USAF air refuelling wing in the European theatre, activated at RAF Mildenhall on 1 February 1992. The wing provides the critical air refuelling "bridge" that allows the Expeditionary Air Force to deploy around the globe on a moment's notice.
The tactical component of the 100 ARW is the 351st Air Refueling Squadron (351 ARS), flying the Boeing KC-135R Stratotanker.
501st Combat Support Wing
Main article: 501st Combat Support Wing
The 501st Combat Support Wing was activated at RAF Mildenhall on 21 May 2005. It is a non-flying unit that provides administration and operation of the various smaller Air Force units scattered across the UK that are considered Geographically Separate Units (GSU):
422d Air Base Group, RAF Croughton
423d Air Base Group, RAF Alconbury
420th Air Base Group, RAF Fairford
352nd Special Operations Group
Main article: 352d Special Operations Group
The 352 SOG is the Air Force component for Special Operations Command Europe, a sub-unified command of the US European Command. It transferred to RAF Mildenhall on 17 February 1995 from RAF Alconbury. The 352 SOG has two flying squadrons, a maintenance squadron, an operations support squadron and a special tactics squadron.
The mission of the 352 SOG is to serve as the focal point for all U.S. Air Force special operations activities throughout the European theatre, including Africa and the Middle East. The 352 SOG is prepared to conduct a variety of high priority, low-visibility missions supporting U.S. and allied special operations forces throughout the European theatre during peacetime, joint operations exercises and combat operations.
The 352nd develops and implements peacetime and wartime contingency plans. It effectively uses fixed-wing and personnel assets in infiltration by, exfiltration by and resupplying of U.S. and allied special operations forces.
The tactical components of the 352nd SOG are the:
7th Special Operations Squadron (MC-130 Talon II aircraft)
67th Special Operations Squadron (MC-130P Combat Shadow aircraft)
321st Special Tactics Squadron
352nd Special Operations Support Squadron

95th Reconnaissance Squadron
Main article: 95th Reconnaissance Squadron
The 95th Reconnaissance Squadron conducts RC-135 Rivet Joint flight operations in the European and Mediterranean theatres of operations as tasked by National Command Authorities and European Command. It was activated at RAF Mildenhall on 1 July 1994, having been previously assigned to RAF Alconbury.
The squadron provides all operational management, aircraft maintenance, administration, and intelligence support to produce politically sensitive real-time intelligence data vital to national foreign policy.
The 95 RS supports RC-135, OC-135, and E-4 missions when theatre deployed.
488th Intelligence Squadron
The 488th Intelligence Squadron a component of the Air Force Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Agency, formerly the Air Intelligence Agency. Its mission is to deliver multi-source intelligence products, applications, services, and resources. It also provides IO forces and expertise in the areas of information warfare, command and control warfare, security, acquisition, foreign weapons systems and technology,
Also administratively assigned to the 488th Intelligence Squadron is Operating Location Souda Bay, Crete.
The present 488th Intelligence Squadron traces its lineage back to the 6954th Security Squadron which was originally designated Detachment 1 of the 6985th Security Squadron at RAF Upper Heyford, England, in June 1967. The unit moved to RAF Mildenhall, England, in August 1970. In 1974, Detachment 1 of the 6985th Security Squadron was designated as the 6954th Security Squadron.
In August 1979, the 6954th Security Squadron was designated as the 6954th Electronic Security Squadron to coincide with the designation of United States Air Force Security Service as the Electronic Security Command. In November 1990, with the inactivation of the 6916th Electronic Security Squadron, Hellenikon Air Base, Greece, the squadron assumed responsibility for all Electronic Security Command RC-135 support to the United States European Command. From October 1990 to March 1991, the squadron conducted operations from OL-RH, 6988th Electronic Security Squadron, Hellenikon AB, Greece.
In October 1991, the 6988th Electronic Security Squadron was subordinated to the Air Force Intelligence Command.
On 1 October 1993, the 6988th Electronic Security Squadron was designated the 488th Intelligence Squadron as part of the ongoing restructuring of Air Force Intelligence and the Air Force Intelligence Command as a field operating agency. The 488th Intelligence Squadron is under the administrative control of this field operating agency, which was designated Air Intelligence Agency on 1 October 1993.
On 1 February 2001, the Air Intelligence Agency was re-aligned under Eighth Air Force at Barksdale AFB, Louisiana. This re-alignment placed Air Intelligence Agency under Air Combat Command. In peace and war, the 488th Intelligence Squadron has earned nine Air Force Outstanding Unit Awards.
On 1 October 2002, the 488th was re-aligned from the 67th Information Operations Wing to the 55th Wing. The re-alignment placed all RC-135 assets under one wing, reinforcing the nose to tail importance of this weapons system.
727th Air Mobility Squadron
The 727th Air Mobility Squadron is a unit of the 721st Air Mobility Operations Group, based at Ramstein AB, Germany.
The 727 AMS is part of AMC's en route system that provides fixed and deployed maintenance, aerial port and command and control support to deployed command forces across the globe. The squadron has all the necessary support, like fleet service, maintenance and passenger service to allow aircraft and crews to quickly depart for their next destination or stay overnight for crew rest.
The squadron was redesignated as the 727 AMS on 15 March 2001. Prior to that, it was designated as the 627th Air Mobility Support Squadron assigned to the 621st Air Mobility Support Group. The change in designation was undertaken to better reflect the operations nature of the group's overall mission as an operational rather than support one.
Fleet Industrial Supply Center Sigonella, Detachment Mildenhall
Beech C-45 Expediter and Douglas C-117D Super Dakota communications aircraft of NAF Mildenhall at their home base in 1966
FISCSI Mildenhall is a Navy Detachment of Fleet Industrial Supply Center Sigonella, Italy. The detachment was originally an aviation command known as Naval Air Facility Mildenhall, supporting Commander, US Naval Forces Europe (COMUSNAVEUR) headquarters in London. As NAF Mildenhall, the command was home to three Navy UC-12 Huron aircraft and provided support for transient US Navy and US Marine Corps aircraft. With the fall of the Soviet Union, the frequency of US naval aircraft transiting RAF Mildenhall disappated and with COMUSNAVEUR's subsequent relocation to Naples, Italy, the command's UC-12 aircraft were also reassigned. After being at RAF Mildenhall for more than 40 years, NAF Mildenhall was disestablished in 2005, downsized and then re-established as FISCSI Det Mildenhall. The mission of FISCSI Det Mildenhall is U.S. Navy fleet support in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe. The support includes receiving and shipping high priority parts and mail to the US naval units within that area.[1]
RAF Mildenhall is named after the nearby town of Mildenhall, Suffolk. It was established as a Royal Air Force station in 1930, and opened in 1934.[2] During World War II, RAF Bomber Command used the station for operational combat missions until 1945.
Placed on standby status after the war, it was reopened by the Royal Air Force and became a USAF-RAF joint operation base on 11 July 1950. Assigned to Strategic Air Command to station B-29 Superfortress bombers that date. It became a B-50 Superfortress base in 1952, and a B-47 Stratojet and KC-97 Stratotanker base in 1953 until 1958.
Closed for runway repairs throughout 1958, the Military Air Transport Service transferred its main United Kingdom terminal to Mildenhall from RAF Burtonwood on 1 March 1959, and the base became "The Gateway to the United Kingdom", for most U.S. military personnel and dependants arriving or departing the United Kingdom since.
Assigned from Strategic Air Command to United States Air Forces in Europe on 1 September 1959 and RAF relinquished joint operations status that date. Has been in continuous USAFE operation to present

RAF Mildenhall opened on 16 October 1934. King George V reviewed 350 aircraft there in 1935 on the occasion of his Silver Jubilee. This historical event is commemorated by a memorial tablet located in front of the Building 562, the current 100 ARW headquarters. During World War II Mildenhall became a bomber station, flying Vickers Wellingtons, Short Stirlings and Avro Lancasters. It was also the headquarters of 3 Group Bomber Command. From 1950 Mildenhall became home to bombers and later tanker aircraft of the United States Air Force. Throughout the 1950s, Strategic Air Command bomber units were deployed on a regular rotational basis from the United States to the United Kingdom. The B-47 Stratojet was a familiar sight in the skies over RAF Mildenhall and RAF Upper Heyford at this time, as entire wings deployed on 90-day rotations. From 1976 to 1990, the SR-71 Blackbird was flown out of Mildenhall by Detachment 4 of the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing of the USAF. RAF Mildenhall was, until 2003, the home of the largest military-sponsored air show in Europe, when it was cancelled because of increasing operational requirements.
In order to meet a perceived "continental threat", the British military developed the idea to site an RAF bomber base at Mildenhall in the late 1920s. Shortly thereafter, the government purchased the land in 1929, followed by the completion of the first buildings in 1931. Three years later, RAF Mildenhall opened on 16 October 1934, as one of the RAF's largest bomber stations. On the same day, Wing Commander Francis Linnell,[4] O.B.E. assumed his position as the base's first station commander. Although open, the base had yet to receive its first complement of military aircraft.
RAF Mildenhall's premature inauguration was due in large part with its selection to host the Royal Aero Club's prestigious MacRobertson Air Race on 20 October 1934. At the time, the air race stood as the longest race ever devised and attracted over 70,000 spectators to the base. Even more telling of the race's significance in the world's sporting spotlight, on short notice King George V and Queen Mary visited RAF Mildenhall the day before the race. In the end, pilots Tom Campbell Black and C. W. A. Scott flying the de Havilland Comet "Grosvenor House", crossed the finish line first at Melbourne, Australia, less than 72 hours after starting the race.
Following this propitious beginning, RAF Mildenhall received its first squadron and aircraft with the arrival of 99B Squadron, equipped with Handley Page Heyford bombers.
The threat the RAF had envisioned in the late 1920s materialised during the Munich Crisis. Between 26 September 1938 and 4 October 1939, the base completed its installation of its defence systems. After a brief reprieve from war, the base prepared for war, bringing station defences and squadrons to full combat readiness. On 3 September 1939, three days after Germany invaded Poland, Britain and France declared war on Germany. Later that same day, three Wellington aircraft from Mildenhall were dispatched to bomb the German naval fleet at Wilhelmshaven.
Throughout World War II, RAF Mildenhall remained very active. In addition to its own airfield, the base held responsibility for satellite airfields at Newmarket, Tuddenham, and Lakenheath. During the course of the war, the base witnessed the transition from the two-engine Wellington, to the Short Stirling, and finally to the four-engine Avro Lancaster. In 1941, RAF Mildenhall was used for the making of the film Target for Tonight. So as not to give away important information to the enemy, RAF Mildenhall took the fictitious name of Millerton Aerodrome, and several other aspects were altered involving the day-to-day operations. The film, produced by the Crown Film Unit, focused on the planning and execution of an air raid on Germany, as seen by the crew of Vickers Wellington OJ-F 'F for Freddie.' Dickson, the captain of 'F for Freddie', was played by Percy Pickard, who went on to lead the real-life Operation Biting and the later Operation Jericho raid on Amiens Prison, in which his plane was shot down and he was killed.
For the duration of the war, except for a brief period to have concrete runways laid in 1943, RAF Mildenhall was involved in most of RAF Bomber Command's many offensives against Germany. While carrying out its operational duties, the base withstood several attacks by the German Luftwaffe, but was never put out of commission (typically, the base's downtime after an attack lasted until personnel could fill in the damage to the runways).
By the end of the war, aircraft from RAF Mildenhall and its satellite airfields dropped over 23,000 tons of explosives, laid 2,000 mines in enemy waters, and flew over 8,000 sorties. The base also saw the loss of over 200 Wellington, Stirling, and Lancaster aircraft, and more significantly, the loss of over 2,000 aircrew members. Some of those killed, including Pilot Officer Rawdon Hume Middleton, an Australian who was posthumously awarded Britain's highest military honour, the Victoria Cross, are buried at St. Johns Church[5] cemetery in Beck Row.[6]
Immediately after the war, RAF Mildenhall participated in humanitarian missions, flying home repatriated prisoners of war, and dropping relief supplies to the Dutch people stranded by the flooding caused by the retreating German Army. By the end of 1945, Mildenhall's operational activity experienced a drastic decrease, and despite a brief flurry of flying activity in the late 1940s, the RAF reduced the base to "care and maintenance" status. The only remaining RAF unit of significance was Headquarters No 3 Group, Bomber Command, which remained on station until 1967.
USAF Use of RAF Mildenhall
In response to the threat by the Soviet Union, especially after the 1948 Berlin Blockade and the 1950 invasion of South Korea by Communist forces, it was decided to re-establish a strong American force in Europe. On 11 July 1950, RAF Mildenhall was made available to the United States Air Force by the British Ministry of Defence as a Strategic Air Command (SAC) B-29 Superfortress base, with joint operations with the Royal Air Force units.
Prior to Strategic Air Command's role at RAF Mildenhall, Headquarters United States Air Forces in Europe established Third Air Force at South Ruslip Air Station[7] in 1948 to command B-29 operations in England. Third Air Force was subsequently placed directly under USAF orders, with Strategic Air Command establishing the 7th Air Division Headquarters at RAF Mildenhall. The collocation of the two headquarters within the United Kingdom allowed HQ USAFE to discharge its responsibilities in England, while at the same time allowing Strategic Air Command to continue in its deterrent role while retaining operational control over flying activities at RAF Mildenhall.
Strategic Air Command use
Boeing B-50D
Boeing KC-97 Stratotanker, 1951
Boeing RB-47H-1-BW Stratojet AF Serial No. 53-2496
The initial SAC unit to use RAF Mildenhall was the 7511th Air Base Group (later redesignated 3910th AB Group), being activated on 11 July 1950 to prepare the facility for operational use by SAC aircraft.
On 1 May 1951, Strategic Air Command took control of the station rotated Bomb Wings in and out of Mildenhall on temporary duty assignments. The first operational strategic unit to use the base was the Boeing B-50D Superfortress equipped 2d Bomb Wing, arriving on Temporary Duty (TDY) 4 May 1951 from Hunter AFB Georgia, departing on 12 December 1951.
Other rotational strategic bomb wings at Mildenhall were:
22d Bombardment Wing[8] (7 September 1951 – 12 December 1951) (B-50D, KB-29P)
(TDY From March AFB California)
93d Bombardment Wing[9] (16 December 1951 – 8 March 1952) (B-50D, KB-29P)
(TDY From Castle AFB California)
509th Bombardment Wing[10] (4 June 1952 – 2 September 1952) (B-50D, KB-29P)
(TDY From Walker AFB New Mexico)
In 1953 RAF Mildenhall's mission was changed from a B-50 bomber base to a Boeing B-47 Stratojet and KC-97 Stratotanker aerial tanker dispersal base. This series of temporary deployments generally involved an entire wing of about 40 B-47s and about 20 tankers being held at readiness for several months, then being relieved by another unit that was based at a different airfield in the UK with the bombers and tankers also at different airfields. In this way SAC could spread out its potential as a Soviet target by placing its short range B-47s, weapons, and personnel on a ring of overseas bases from Greenland to North Africa, of which Mildenhall was one.

(TDY From Shilling AFB, Kansas)
44th Air Refueling Squadron (Autumn 1957) (KC-97)
(TDY From Chennault AFB, Louisiana)
These TDYs became a heavy burden for both SAC as well as Military Air Transport Service (MATS) which had to transport thousands of personnel and tons of material to and from the United States in just a few days to support these rotations. In 1958, it was decided that these rotational TDYs would be replaced by a new system of overseas deployments called Reflex. From then on, rather than being deployed for a few months, a permanent SAC presence would be established at bases with aircraft being deployed for three weeks from several SAC bases, being kept on full alert status ready for instant takeoff at their "Reflex Bases".
Route of Mildenhall Task Forces RB-47H
The RB-47s based at RAF Mildenhall performed some of the most sensitive reconnaissance missions of the Cold War. During its service, at least two of these planes were lost flying missions over the Soviet Union. One incident occurred during a photographic mission over the Soviet Union. The plane was intercepted and fired upon by Soviet MiGs and sustained wing damage. Fortunately, it was able to outrun them at altitude and return to RAF Mildenhall. The RB-47s were eventually phased out and replaced with the Lockheed U-2 and SR-71. (See 306th Strategic Wing below)
In 1958 and the first half of 1959 the RAF Mildenhall runway was closed for repairs, and on 1 September 1959 the Royal Air Force ceased regular flying operations, making the USAF the sole operator of the base.
The host base SAC support unit at RAF Mildenhall was the 3910th Air Base Group, changing to the 3932d AB Squadron and lastly 3934th AB Squadron. These units provided the administrative, maintenance and logistical support necessary to the rotating operational wings and squadrons.
7513th Tactical Group
WB-50D of the 58th Weather Squadron
SAC departed RAF Mildenhall in 1959 as its runway requirements no longer met the requirements for its newer aircraft. On 17 July 1959, SAC and USAFE reached an agreement facilitating and substantially increasing Third Air Force's role in making operational decisions regarding the US Air Force units in the UK. On 1 July 1959 USAFE took control of Mildenhall from SAC and the 7543d Air Base Squadron was activated by USAFE as the host unit. On 1 September the 7513th Tactical Group took over host unit responsibilities.
RAF Mildenhall became the home for the Military Air Transport Service (later Military Airlift Command) main air passenger terminal for the United Kingdom on 1 March 1959 with the 1625th Support Squadron providing military personnel and dependents service at the terminal with the drawdown at the Burtonwood Air Depot.
The 53d Weather Squadron was transferred to Mildenhall from RAF Alconbury on 10 August 1959, flying WB-50D Superfortresses s and was assigned with collecting weather data that was transmitted to weather stations for use in preparing forecasts required for the Air Force Military Air Transport Service (MATS) and the U.S. Weather Bureau. It was inactivated on 18 March 1960.
On 15 November 1965 Mildenhall welcomed the arrival of the Silk Purse Control Group and the 7120th Airborne Command and Control Squadron (7120 ACCS) previously stationed at Châteauroux-Déols Air Base, France. Upon its arrival at Mildenhall, the 7120th ACCS converted from C-118s[11] to EC-135s which were used as airborne command posts under the code name "SILK PURSE"

Seven KC-135R Stratotankers move on the RAF Mildenhall taxiway as part of a training mission to validate maintenance and operational capabilities.
On 1 July 1966, Mildenhall welcomed the arrival of the 513th Troop Carrier Wing from Evreux-Fauville Air Base France. With its activation on Mildenhall, the 513th TCW assumed operational control of two rotational (7441st, 7742d) Troop Carrier Squadrons of twenty MAC C-130 Hercules and received the 7120th ACCS / Silk Purse Control Group from Châteauroux-Déols Air Station, France. and the five Boeing EC-135H "Silk Purse" Flying Command Posts for European Command.[12]
On 8 July 1958 the Air Force redesignated the 513 TCW the 513th Tactical Airlift Wing (513 TAW) with no change in its mission.
For the next four years RAF Mildenhall witnessed little change, with only the 10th ACCS replacing the 7120th ACCS on 1 January 1970, and assuming its mission. However, in June 1972, the base added to the list of its tenants with the arrival of Headquarters Third Air Force, which relocated from South Ruislip Air Station.
306th Strategic Wing
On 1 July 1978 the SAC 306th Strategic Wing was transferred to RAF Mildenhall from Ramstein Air Base, West Germany with a KC-135 air refuelling and a RC-135 reconnaissance mission. The 306th also functioned as the focal point for all SAC operations in Europe and became the host unit at RAF Mildenhall. MAC cargo and passenger transport operations continued under the 435th Tactical Airlift Group.
With the arrival of the 306th SW, Mildenhall also became known as SAC's European Reconnaissance center. For many years various types of Boeing RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft were observed regularly arriving and departing from the Mildenhall runway. Most of these aircraft came from the 55th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing at Offutt AFB, Nebraska and had the capability to receive radar and radio signals from far behind the borders of the Communist Eastern Bloc. From Mildenhall the RC-135s flew ELINT and COMINT missions along the borders of Poland, the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia. The twenty or so specialists on board the RC-135s during such missions listened to and recorded military radio frequencies and communications.
The next significant event in Mildenhall's history came with the arrival of Detachment 4, 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing in 1976, which controlled rotational Lockheed U-2 and SR-71 Blackbird operations from the base. It is not known when SAC first began making reconnaissance flights in Europe with these aircraft. There are indications that these fast aircraft have been operating in Europe since the end of the 1960s, with an SR-71 making a stopover in August 1970 at RAF Upper Heyford, England, before a mission over the Middle East.
These aircraft carried out strategic photo reconnaissance missions for NATO and the USAF within the framework of the SALT I Agreement of 1972. Under this agreement the Soviet Union and the United States reached agreement on a partial freeze on the number of offensive nuclear weapons and these flights were to check that the Soviets were adhering to the agreement.
As well as the photo missions the 9th SRW gathered telemetry signals from Soviet missile systems. Such missions were carried out using the SR-71 and U-2/TR-1 aircraft and Boeing RC-135s from the 55th SRW. This information was analysed, together with information originating from reconnaissance satellites to present an intelligence picture for analysis to assemble a good picture of Soviet activities for national decision-making.
The 306th SW also played a major role in the success of Operation El Dorado Canyon, the American attack on the Libyan capital of Tripoli in 1986. In support of this 14-hour, radio-silence rendezvous mission, the unit deployed the largest number of refuelling aircraft ever flown over Europe and the largest fleet of KC-10's ever airborne at one time. In addition, the day after the attack 9th SW aircraft made several unmolested flights over the bombed military targets in and around Tripoli and Benghazi.
From their arrival until the departure of the last SR-71 on 18 January 1990, the 306th Strategic Wing's SR-71 and U-2 aircraft came to symbolise RAF Mildenhall in the local public's eye.
On 18 June 1987, HQ USAFE designated the 513 TAW as the 513th Airborne Command and Control Wing (513th ACCW) with responsibility for the E-3 Sentry AWCS aircraft at Mildenhall. The 513th ACCW's mission was to provide theatre and Air Force commanders with trained aircrews and maintenance personnel and systems for airborne surveillance, warning and control of U.S. and allied military aviation assets.
Nearly five years later, during the Air Force's transition to the objective wing structure, the Air Force inactivated the 513th ACCW on 31 January 1992. The 513th was reactivated as a group at Tinker AFB Oklahoma on 15 March 1996 as an Air Force Reserve unit.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union and lessening of Cold War tensions, the "Silk Purse" mission of the 10th ACCS came to an end on 31 December 1991 and the unit was inactivated.

The 306th SW operated at RAF Mildenhall until 1 February 1992 when the 100th Air Refueling Wing of USAFE, assumed the 306th SW responsibilities and became host unit at Mildenhall along with becoming Headquarters European Tanker Task Force with its KC-135 Stratotankers.
The 100th ARW provides aerial refuelling support to Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aircraft as well as aircraft of allied nations. Its aircraft are also capable of transporting litter and ambulatory patients using patient support pallets during aeromedical evacuations.
In May 1993, as part of the drawdown of forces in Europe, it was announced that the majority of the USAF-operated base at RAF Alconbury was to be returned to the British Ministry of Defence. As a part of this return, the 352nd Special Operations Group and its associated aircraft, the MC-130E, HC-130P/N and MH-53, transferred to RAF Mildenhall in March 1995.
On 1 July 1994 the 95th Reconnaissance Squadron was activated at Mildenhall, essentially taking over the mission of the inactivated 306th Strategic Wing.

CLARK, NJ- New season? New look? Things are turning up blonde on the field for the Arthur L. Johnson High School Crusaders varsity lacrosse team about right now. This year the boys hit the field like any team hoping to improve on the previous season. However, this season, not only did they gain a few new players, but they have an updated style too.
As the lacrosse season got underway several Johnson lacrosse players dyed their hair blonde for the upcoming season. To the players, it's about sticking together as a family and something memorable to look back on.
Johnson is coming off a 3-15 season, which featured the team being in the Bianchi Division, struggling mightily against those teams, but winning three games in the month of May.
"It's almost a sign of togetherness that's also goofy and a way we could laugh at ourselves," senior Sebastian Iakouchevitch said.
This year the team moved back to the Kimber Division for the 2019 season and the seniors hope to lead the way and to flip the script as the games roll along.
The players new hairstyle and the brotherhood behind it, has head coach Lou Van Bergen, praising his players for the idea and the new-found leadership he sees developing.
Johnson defeated St. Joseph's (Metuchen) in their home opener 7-4. Parenti added four goals and one assist in the win. Hund added two goals and dished out two assists.

The thought of travelling over the festive season can be overwhelming, especially if you have children in tow. Whether you are flying, driving or taking the train, the cost of getting away from it all over Christmas and New Year can quickly spiral out of control. However, your holiday need not be full of high cost hazards. There are still ways to cut your spending and avoid that anxious wait for the credit card bill in January.
Here are five top tips to help you save money wherever you plan to celebrate.
When flying, pack wisely if you want to avoid falling foul of excess baggage charges. Cramming all of those holiday essentials into your cabin luggage is the most cost effective way to fly. If you do have to stow gifts and extra clothes in your suitcase then make sure you check the dimensions and weight of your luggage before you leave so you don't get a costly surprise at the airport check-in.
Do your research and secure a great travel deal. Book early for the best bargains, try out cash back websites, and take time to review ticket prices from a variety of cost comparison sites. Savings are not restricted to travel fares, shop around and you might also be able to trim the fat from many more items you will need for your journey, from food and drink to travel accessories and trip insurance.
Loyalty programmes are a great way to maximise your money. If you have earned points or vouchers from store loyalty cards, frequent flyer programmes and hotel reward deals, now is the time to cash in on them. It is also worth checking with your employer to find out if they can access travel, accommodation and local attractions discounts as part of their employee benefits programme.
If you are travelling overseas you will need to consider how you can get the best value from your foreign currency. You can beat the travel money bureau prices with some careful research of the best travel money deals available online before you leave. Credit cards and prepaid cards can also be an economical way to spend whilst you're away.
Petrol pump prices may be at an all-time high, but if you are planning to drive for all or part of your trip, you can still save by pricing up your fuel in advance and pinpointing refuel stops for your entire journey. Petrol price comparison sites will quickly tell you where to find the cheapest forecourts along your route. Simply enter a postcode to track the best deals.
Once you have made the most of the saving opportunities available during the planning stages, don't forget to protect your finances by ensuring you secure cash and other valuables when travelling. And finally, once you arrive at your destination take time out to relax and reap the rewards of a holiday free of money worries!

Getting a driver's license in Italy
Published on January 18, 2021 by Rich
Can I drive in Italy?
Is my license valid? For how long?
Can I convert my license to an Italian driver's license?
Read on, below you will find the answers to the above questions, plus more!
Driving license from EU states
If you have a driving license issued by a European Union state, there are no problems, the license is fine and does not need to be converted even if you have lived in Italy for more than a year. Even for EU driving licenses, however, it is advisable to request the conversion, or the recognition of validity, in order to speed up the procedures relating to the renewal or to any duplicates due to loss, theft, etc. In the conversion procedure, the original license is replaced by the Italian license, while in the recognition operation the original license remains in the driver's hands, a sticker is simply applied to it which allows it to be identified in the national registry of authorized drivers.
Driving license from non-EU countries
Foreigners with a non-EU driving license can drive in Italy for a maximum of 1 year as long as they have an International Drivers Permit (IDP) or an official translation with the license. When traveling you should carry with you at all times:
your valid driver's license from your own country + an International Driving Permit (IDP) as the two documents work in tandem, OR
your valid driver's license from your own country + the official translation as the two documents work in tandem.
The translation can be done by:
translator and certified with an oath taken before a judicial chancellor or notary
consulate with signature of the consular officers legalized in the Prefecture.
Getting an Italian driver's license
Foreigners residing in Italy for more than one year must either convert their license or apply for the Italian driver's license. Not all driving licenses can be converted, much depends on the existence of reciprocity agreements between Italy and the country concerned.
More on license conversion by clicking here.
Non-convertible driving license holders, if they want to reside in Italy for more than one year, have no alternative: they have to take the license exams in Italy. Non-EU citizens who want to register a vehicle in Italy must have their residence in Italy and be in possession of a residence permit or receipt of the request for renewal or first issue of the document.
To obtain an Italian driving license, you must:
be 18 years old +
have residence in Italy
medical certificate – pass a recent medical exam
The process for obtaining an Italian driver's licence is:
Pass a theory test (multiple choice, in Italian)
Obtain a learner's permit (foglio rosa)
Practice driving
Pass a practical driving test (road test with instructor and examiner)
As of January 19th 2013, the foglio rosa is only issued after the theory test has been passed. The learner then has five months in which to pass the practical driving exam.
The theory exam for the driving license is in the form of quiz (true or false) in Italian. In some regions you can ask for a translation into French or German, or if you have difficulty reading, you can ask for audio support, that is, you can listen to the questions on headphones.
To prepare for the driving license exam, we recommend that you go to a SIDA driving school and ask for a BILINGUAL MANUAL to study the driving license on a book translated into your language.
In SIDA you will find manuals and quizzes (SIDA QUIZ App for smart phones) written in the following languages: Albanian, Arabic, Chinese, French, English, Russian, Romanian, Spanish, German.
Patente B
The patente B is the most popular license and allows you to drive a normal car plus the following vehicles:
125 cm³ and maximum 11 kW motor-cycles in Italy
Motor-cycles with side-car
Three-wheelers
Quadricycles
Motor vehicles with maximum 8 seats, driver excepted, and of full load weight up to 3.5 tons
Truck having a weight at full load up to 3.5 tons
Agricultural machines (special ones too)
Operator machines (not special ones)
Foreign license conversion
The conversion of a foreign driving license requires the replacement of the driving document with an Italian one.
EU LICENSE CONVERSION
NON-EU LICENSE CONVERSION
The procedure is intended for drivers in possession of a driving license issued by a state of the European Union or the European Economic Area who obtain a registered residence or a normal residence in Italy.
Driving licenses issued by states belonging to the European Union or the European Economic Area are equivalent to Italian licenses.
Those who have a Community driving license with the expiry date provided for by the European Union regulations ( Article 7 paragraph 2 of Directive 2006/126 / EEC ) can circulate regularly until the expiry date.
At the end of the period of validity, the foreign driving license must be converted at a Civil Motorization Office. After conversion, the foreign document is withdrawn and returned to the State that issued it.
Conversion can also be requested before the deadline. In this case, the driver obtains an Italian license with the same expiry date as the foreign one or, if he presents a medical certificate for renewal, an Italian license with a new period of validity according to the deadlines set in Italy.
On the other hand, those who have a Community driving license with no expiry date or with an expiry date exceeding that provided for by the European Union regulations ( Article 7 paragraph 2 of Directive 2006/126 / EEC ) must convert the foreign driving license after two years from the acquisition of registered residence or of normal residence in our country. This obligation also applies to anyone residing in Italy who must be subjected to a driving license revision measure.
All citizens holding a driving license issued by a Member State who acquires residence in Italy must comply with the Italian provisions regarding the duration of validity of the license and medical supervision.

If three years have passed since the license expired, it is generally subjected to a revision of the same.
It is not possible to renew or convert European Union licenses issued following conversion if the original document was issued by a non-EU country with which the conditions of reciprocity provided for by art. 136 of the Highway Code.

Q: Wagtail add RawHTMLBlock to field in model I'm trying to add field type as RawHTMLBlock in my model
I did
from wagtail.images.blocks import ImageChooserBlock
from wagtail.core import blocks
from wagtail.core.fields import RichTextField, StreamField
from wagtail.admin.edit_handlers import FieldPanel, InlinePanel, MultiFieldPanel, StreamFieldPanel, FieldRowPanel, PageChooserPanel
from modelcluster.fields import ParentalKey
from wagtail.images.models import Image
from wagtail.images.edit_handlers import ImageChooserPanel
from wagtail.images.widgets import AdminImageChooser

@register_snippet
class DefaultHeader(models.Model):

    title_html = models.CharField(max_length=100, null=True, blank=True)
    text_message = RichTextField(null=True, blank=True)
    code_text = blocks.RawHTMLBlock(null=True, blank=True)

    background = models.ForeignKey('wagtailimages.Image',
                                       related_name='+',
                                       null=True,
                                       blank=True,
                                       verbose_name=_("Background"),
                                       on_delete=models.SET_NULL)

    panels = [
        FieldPanel("title_html"),
        FieldPanel("text_message"),
        FieldPanel("code_text"),
        ImageChooserPanel("background", classname="col12"),
    ]

All fields was add after makemigrations except for code_text that field wasn't add
in my admin page I have title_html; text_message; background. but not code_text

A: Blocks are not valid outside of StreamField. To achieve the same thing as RawHTMLBlock in a model field, define it as a TextField:
code_text = models.TextField(blank=True)

Then, when outputting it on a template, use Django's |safe filter to disable the HTML escaping that is applied as standard:
{{ header.code_text|safe }}


The cumulative update KB4088776 for Windows 10 Version 1709 March 2018 has been released by Microsoft last week. This takes the build number of Windows 10 to 16299.309. There are few important fixes that Microsoft has made in Windows 10 which we had discussed in earlier releases of KB4090913, KB4074588, KB4056892.
This update solves most of the problems faced by users using Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer web browsers. Also the installation lockout with mandatory compatibility requirement with the installed antivirus solution for Windows 10 has also been removed by Microsoft. Now users do not have to go through the registry editing for antivirus compatibility. For reading more about the problem, you may go through the KB articles mentioned above.
Let's go through the changes that have been made in KB4088776. There are no new features that have been added to Windows 10 in this update.
Whenever Internet explorer was used along with any of the F12 based developer tools, it would either hang, or stop working altogether. This update addresses the issue and allows simultaneous use of F12 developer tools and the browser.
The update allows ease of printing of XML documents, through Internet Explorer and the Microsoft Edge.
After this update, the users can access the Internet Explorer without it hanging even when they are using a browser helper object.
You can upgrade the graphics drivers without facing issue with media applications which used to become unresponsive.
Many users used to face issue while gaming. The players faced problems related to ownership, where they were not allowed to continue the game due to the error message about not owning the content.
The compatibility issue that was faced by the Windows users has been addressed, now the users need to confirm about the compatibility of their antivirus with their AV provider, and this will help them address the issue of lack of compatibility in their antivirus.
The existing Windows applications and programs have been updated with respect to their security.
I'm getting some reports of users having problems with this update KB4088776. A user complained on Reddit that Resilio Sync was not working after he installed this update.
I also got one user in my office whose update would not finish giving an error 0x800f081f but it was rectified when I downloaded the update from your link and installed it manually.
Softpedia also mentions about the problems but there is no surety about how widespread this problem is. My advice would be that you should check your Windows Update setting. If the update is failing, you should download the update manually and restart your computer.

How Higher Education Boosts the Rust Belt—Except in Detroit
One big reason Chicago isn't Detroit (and neither is Pittsburgh, Buffalo, or Cleveland): The Motor City's lack of higher-education employers.
By Whet Moser
Photo: Heather Charles/Chicago Tribune
A worker does some maintenance on the Logan Center at the University of Chicago.
If you can look past the classically disdainful New York Times-style hed, "Once Just a Punch Line, Buffalo Fights Back," this is a good update on the eastern terminus of the Rust Belt and its plans to drive the economy in the 21st century. Which are not surprising, but seem to be working:
In 2006, the campus's first new building—the $24 million Hauptman-Woodward Research Institute for structural biology—was finished, with 73,000 square feet. Last year, three more projects were completed: a $291 million research and clinical care building that houses the Gates Vascular Institute and the State University of New York at Buffalo's Clinical and Translational Research Center (475,000 square feet in 10 stories); the $64 million 300-bed HighPointe on Michigan skilled nursing center (202,000 square feet); and a $37 million, 2,000-space parking deck.
The Medical Campus now employs 12,000 people, with possibly thousands more once another phase of development is finished about four years from now.
12,000 is a lot of people—by comparison, the Illinois Medical District in Chicago employs 20,000. In a smaller city, it makes a bigger impact: Chicago's unemployment rate is 10.3 percent; Buffalo's, 9.6 percent.
Bankrupt Detroit is now at 16 percent. When I read the story about Buffalo, I thought of something Edward McClelland wrote in his piece on the eternal question, why Chicago isn't Detroit (for what it's worth, Buffalo, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh aren't, either):
Chicago always had a more diversified economy than its Midwestern rivals. Besides forging steel and slaughtering cattle, Chicago published books, wrote insurance, traded grain futures, and issued bank loans. As the headquarters of the Mercantile Exchange and the Board of Trade, it was the Midwest's financial hub. Chiefly because of the University of Chicago, it was home to more Nobel laureates than any other city in the world.
While my diploma increases a bit in value every time someone writes something like that, the many many thousands of non-Nobel-laureates the University of Chicago has employed over the years are also important to the city's economic base. And the folks at Northwestern, Loyola, DePaul, and UIC, which combined employ in the ballpark of 40,000-50,000 people, not to mention the smaller two- and four-year institutions housed in the city.
In Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania and its health system are two of the top employers. Ditto for Pittsburgh, where the Pitt health system is number one and the university is number four. Cleveland's largest employer is the Cleveland Clinic, with 34,000 employees.
Detroit's top higher ed employer is Wayne State, which employed about 5,000 people as of 2008. Adding the Detroit Medical Center, affiliated with Wayne State and Michigan State, is another 12,000. That's still far from the higher-ed and affiliated employment of its Midwestern and Rust Belt peers.
Why? Justin Pope had an interesting piece about this in The Atlantic Cities. The answer is that no one really knows, but Pope has a couple intriguing theories, both of which have to do with the city's industrial monoculture:
Perhaps it was just Detroit's bad luck that Ford, its most famous industrialist, hated cities (he once said the only solution to the city "problem" was for people to leave them). He also hated elites. And Jews. Together those traits didn't add up to someone likely to spend his money on a large urban university (though Ford did take over and support Detroit's city hospital).
But Ford didn't run Detroit, and the men who followed him were't raging antisemites. They were, however, provincial in their own way:
Detroit's business culture, Fishman told me, contained a deep suspicion of academia. He noted each of the Big Three ran their own tech schools and enormous in-house research operations, and all were distrustful of outsiders, preferring to promote from within.
Universities don't just indirectly contribute to a city's economy by dumping classes of smart young people into the local economy every year; they also employ a lot of people, many with good incomes, considerable stability, and essentially immobile jobs (we'll see about MOOCs). And they last a long time—the city's big private universities all predate the city's big private employers. For all the low problems Detroit has suffered, a vacuum in its higher education economy is a crucial one.

Q: Twig check elements of array are in another array I'm trying to check in twig if any element of one array are set in other array.
Example:
I have user.roles with ['ROLE_ADMIN','ROLE_MANAGER'] and I have the product.roles with ['ROLE_ADMIN','ROLE_USER'].
I want to check (in Twig) if any user.roles are in product.roles, like:
{{ user.roles[0] is product.roles|keys }}

But with each element of user.roles in the same function.
Does anyone know how?

A: You could use the filter filter to do this, but guessing it would be better to move this to PHP / TwigExtension
{% if user.roles |filter((role) => role in product.roles) | length > 0 %}
    Can do something with the post
{% else %}
    Access denied
{% endif %}

demo

A: Use a for loop:
{% for role in user.roles %}
  {% if role in product.roles|keys %}
    do something...
  {% endif %}
{% endfor %}
