Literature forms a centrepiece to being a reader or a writer. It comprises texts, such as short stories, novels, poetry, prose, plays, film and multimodal texts. The pleasures and understandings afforded by engaged reading, interpreting, appreciating, evaluating and creating literature enable children to expand their ideas, think deeply and notice new things in their world.
Nodelman and Reimer (2003) identify multiple pleasures that children's literature can provide, some of which are:
the pleasure of having one's emotions evoked
the pleasure of the pictures and the ideas that words of texts evoke
the pleasure of finding a mirror for oneself
the pleasure of escape.
Hisham Matar (2017) has noted that literature, specifically, books "develop our emotional, psychological and intellectual life, and, by doing so, show us how and to what extent we are connected." Far from being a passive activity, La Marca and Macintyre (2006) argue that rich reading of literary texts is "imaginatively, intellectually, emotionally challenging, demanding, comforting and consoling (p. 18)". A key strand of both the Victorian and Australian Curriculum, literature benefits students on both personal and academic levels, with research consistently finding strong correlations between reading engagement and reading achievement.
Inclusive literature
EAL/D learners need to find themselves, their languages and cultures reflected in the books and resources used in class. At the same time, all learners 'need to read other countries' stories about national, personal and community identities to enlarge their cultural frames of reference and to reflect on how these stories share similarities and differences to their own' (Mallan, 2014). Schools can promote inclusiveness for EAL/D students by including plurilingual (more than one language integrated) and multicultural literature in their classrooms and school libraries. Adam and Harper (2016) provide a useful checklist for selecting and evaluating multicultural picture storybooks that could be extended to other media.
When choosing texts, some considerations include whether:
the author is qualified to write about the culture(s) portrayed or has extensively researched the culture
the story is high quality, interesting and contains authentic language and accurate factual details (where appropriate)
the characters are believable, reflect universal themes and represent diverse groups of people
the cultural and geographical settings are realistic, accurate and reflect a variety of settings
the plot challenges assumed knowledge and presents opportunities for students to discuss and resolve conflicts
the theme allows for students to consider multiple perspectives and values
the illustrations avoid stereotypes and promote diversity
the story is developmentally appropriate. Can the students relate to and engage with the story? (Adam and Harper 2016).
books about children with diverse cultures, for example, an Aboriginal student living between two different cultures
books about children living in different parts of the world
translations of popular books written in English, e.g. 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' or a Harry Potter novel
stories and other texts written and published by EAL/D students or plurilingual Australian authors
translations of books by EAL/D students, family members or community members.

Reading Australia provides lists of literature such as:

Both the Australian Literacy Educators' Association and the Primary English Teaching Association of Australia (PETAA) have units of work around multilingual and plurilingual texts, book reviews as well as teacher references on teaching EAL/D students effectively.

Teaching literature
Classroom teaching should incorporate:
dedicated classroom time for children to read, or be read to, and to discuss their reading
opportunities for children to be read to, to read with others, and to read by themselves
opportunities for children to respond to what they read in a variety of ways.
The links between engaged, regular reading of literature and student achievement are well established in the research literature. Large scale international assessments such as the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) – both administered through the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) – reveal strong correlations between reading engagement and reading achievement. These international studies reveal that Australian students – at both primary and secondary school level – are less engaged and motivated in relation to reading than similar aged students in many other countries. This has implications for issues of text selection, student voice and choice, and the ways reading is implemented in classrooms. Many research studies (see for example, Guthrie, 2008; Graff, 2010) reveal that students can be more directly engaged (or re-engaged) with reading when:
they are given choices in what they read
the reading itself is valued (rather than, especially, written response)
classroom reading embraces both paper-based and online texts
and both private and social, dialogic dimensions of reading are emphasised.
The benefits of free voluntary reading – reading for reading's sake – have been compellingly documented (Krashen, 2004, 2011) and student self-efficacy in reading has been shown to increase when students have the opportunity to choose texts of interest and relevance and share their responses and insights after reading with peers and teachers (Guthrie, 2008).
Research to practice
Classroom teaching that draws on these research imperatives should incorporate:
dedicated classroom time for students to read and discuss their reading
reading to, with and by: opportunities for students to be read to, to read with others (teachers and peers) and to read by themselves (independent reading)
opportunities for students to respond to what they read in a variety of ways (verbally, in writing, online, through the Arts, through taking action of some sort).
The instructional focus taken here to accommodate these imperatives is literature circles
Reading interest survey
Understanding your students' reading habits and interests will help you to connect them to reading materials they enjoy as well as to texts which might expand their reading repertoire.

This past Labor Day weekend I traveled to Colorado Springs to see my daughter Kelly, her husband Chanse and my grandkids Kylie and Casen. A quick trip indeed riding my latest bike, a '06 Ultra Classic. Leaving Saturday after work puts me in Colorado Springs around 8:30 pm mountain time and can make for a long day. But as riding to Colorado goes, longer is better, right?
After a short visit on Saturday night I was eager to get some rest as Chanse had planned a ride to the top of Pike's Peak Sunday morning before the rest of the house woke up. Pike's Peak? I'm in. I will tell you from a Kansas boy's perspective that a little bit of altitude can make me feel a lot light-headed. The highest point around where I live is Blythe's hill. The first day of visiting with the kids is always an adjustment, but after that I'm good. Unless you're expecting me to run, walk or climb a bunch of stairs. We head out on our bikes for the 20 minute ride there, and of course, the excitement is building. You can't help but look at the front range as you're rolling through town and again for a Kansas boy, well, I think you know.
We stop for gas just before the entrance and I have to admit I wasn't sure what to expect. Temperature was in the high 50's so after gassing up I put my gloves on. I already had my leather jacket on so let's do this! After Chanse paid the way into the park he let me lead. It's still pretty early in the morning and the shadows were making cornering difficult. Those decreasing radius corners wreak havoc on a guy riding a big bike on an unfamiliar road. I know they race up this mountain every year for the Pike's Peak International Hill Climb and right now I'm in last place. 19 miles and counting.
We soon fall into a rhythm and I start to relax. That's the key to this – relax. With very little traffic I feel we're making decent time and I will say the view is spectacular. As we approach the tree line where the terrain begins to change to moon-like, things become different. The temperature is dropping, the air is thinning like the hair on my head and the road is becoming more difficult. Speed isn't a real factor, but momentum is. Slow is good as long as you're not going too slow. At this point it's obvious I'm not dressed warm enough and the sign I just passed indicated I still had a few miles to go. Up that is. It's becoming windy and I later find out the gusts are up to 50 mph. Like a punch to my face, the wind hits me every so often and I can't breathe. I look in my mirrors to see if Chanse is still back there in hopes that I would have to turn around and go back looking for him. Chanse is still there, and I think he let me lead so he wouldn't have to go back for me.
The last 2 miles were difficult for me. Old and out of shape doesn't help and neither does a lack of oxygen. We get to the top and park the bikes, climb off and look around. Fun Fact – it took us about 45 minutes to reach the top and the winner of this year's Pike's Peak Hill Climb was one of only three people to do it in less than 10 minutes. To the winner, speed is a factor. To me? Oxygen. We are both freezing as the wind chill is hovering at 30 degrees or so and we seek shelter in the gift shop. Closed. It doesn't open for another 10 minutes and shelter from the wind is found on the side of the building. Finally the doors open in what seemed to be an hour later and we find the restroom to warm our hands under the hand dryers. I ask Chanse why people are wandering around here with shorts and light jackets on and he tells me they hiked up Pike's Peak. On foot? "Yes" he says. I asked him what day would you have to leave to get here before us and he tells me at day break. I'm winded and I rode up the mountain. They hiked and look great!
I could hear the voices in my head saying we will have to go back outside and ride back down even though my body was telling me to have a seat and stay awhile. At 14,110 feet they really need to pump oxygen into the gift shop. My head is now pounding and Chanse has his butter pecan fudge he bought for Kelly and we are ready to go. We start to take a picture by the sign at the summit for proof of this adventure and a gentleman walks over and volunteers to take it for us. Chanse reciprocates for him and as far as I'm concerned we can't get down to 5000 feet soon enough. Oh, and as I said the view is spectacular.
Chanse leads the way and immediately I feel better. Slow and sure we work our way down as the traffic is coming up. A real advantage of getting there early. I'm finally able to look around and take it all in. This is really a great experience and it's something everyone should do at least once in their lifetime. Coincidently, there were only a couple of times I thought I was going to die. I didn't of course, but what makes a story more interesting than having a close call? This was a great ride to share with my son-in-law Chanse. Epic for sure and I would do it all over again. Thanks Chanse, for a great day!
It's only thanks to motorcycles that I miss Colorado at all. That's something close to paradise, even though I got a speeding ticket every year I lived there.
Tried to comment earlier but it didn't work. I think that's my apps fault? Anyway, pike's peak was already on my hit list for motorcycle ride destinations. Great that you got to hit it up on two wheels with a 'local' to ride along with ya!

Volnay Premier Cru Clos de la Barre, Jadot 2011
£228.00 Case of 6
This fine red Burgundy has repaid keeping and will continue to do so, with its fine and intense aromas. The palate is still firm but given a little more time to soften and it will show its silky side.

Regional Note
Vintage Note
The Côte de Beaune runs from Ladoix-Serrigny in the north to Cheilly lè Maranges in the south, on the southern escarpment of the Côte d'Or. Beaune is the town at its heart. The most famous wines of the area are white, but many excellent reds are produced.
The soils of the area are predominantly mixtures of clay and limestone of various types, which is excellent for drainage but also retention of water. The hillsides here, split and riven by streams and side-valleys, provide a number of meso- and microclimates as well as various aspects ranging from east-facing to south and south-west facing. The best sites are neither at the top or the bottom of these slopes where the soils are too impoverished or too fertile respectively. More generic wines are produced at the top and bottom of these slopes, with the Premiers Crus and Grand Crus in a band running along the upper middle. Soils with more limestone suit chardonnay more than pinot, hence the number of famous white burgundies produced here.
The climate here is semi-continental, though northerly winds can temper a hot summer while warmer winds from the south can bring warmth. Westerly winds that ultimately originate in the Atlantic can bring rain but at its worst may deliver devastating hail in incredibly localised storms. There is a degree of unpredictability about vintages in Burgundy.
Pinot noir and chardonnay are the two permitted grapes of any significance, though Aligoté is grown occasionally for crisp, mouth-watering whites that are often used to make kir, and some generic Bourgogne or Crémant can be made with pinot blanc, pinot gris and beurrot can be made.
The appellations to be found in the Côte de Beaune are as follows: Ladoix, Pernand-Vergelesses, Aloxe-Corton , Corton, Corton-Charlemagne, Chorey-lès-Beaune, Savigny-lès Beaune, Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Monthélie, Auxey-Duresses, Saint-Romain, Meursault, Saint-Aubin, Puligny-Montrachet, Chassagne-Montrachet, Santenay and Maranges
Côte de Beaune-Villages and Bourgogne-Hautes Côtes de Beaune are also made. The former is solely for red wines and the latter includes some whites as well. Both are mostly from vineyards on the top of the escarpment and some represent good value for early drinking Burgundy.
Côte de Beaune wines are generally lighter than those from the Côte de Nuits. Beaunes are soft and round, Volnays fine and silky. Pommards are the exception: due to more clay in the soil, they can be notably tannic and in need of considerable bottle age. The greatest of all white Burgundies, Le Montrachet, is made here between Chassagne and Puligny.
Burgundy Vintage 2011
The 2011 vintage produced an array of attractive, ripe yet fresh, white and red wines in a classic style, by which we mean that at harvest the grapes were picked with ripe tannins and flavours but at low to moderate levels of potential alcohol. As a consequence, the wines are aromatic and fine boned. Pinot noir and chardonnay have evolved to perform well in cool conditions, and, like many fruits, they succeed when grown at the northern limit of their ripening ability, like a vibrant Tay raspberry or a crunchy and aromatic English Cox's Orange Pippin apple. This vintage allowed pinot and chardonnay to succeed in just such a way.
Yields were moderate, and berry sizes small. Qualitatively the wines are a step up from the 2007 and 2009 whites, and the 2007 reds. Stylistically, the vintage is in the same mould as 2010, but lighter. The wines are succulent and approachable, and delicious from quite early on, but have the structure for mid-term keeping.
The reds are ripe yet fresh, with appealing, juicy pinot fruit with sweet tannins. They will give great pleasure. As ever, low yield were necessary for success. When Pernand and Aloxe's wines have ripe tannins you know the red wines achieved full phenolic maturity. It is worth trading up with the négociants as quality rises faster than prices as one moves up.
The whites are fresh, balanced and delicious, spanning the apple to white peach spectrum of aromas. After an initial lovely burst of fruit there is a good mid-palate and fresh finish. The Måconnais have performed particularly well in this vintage.

Mr Alan Guy
"Lacks the delicacy and elegance you expect from a Volnay - it's all a bit burly for the appellation. It's still good juice, and if you're after a fragrant, ripe, structured Pinot this will fit the bill. But it's all a bit four square for me"

Q: How do I move an object in one direction with a single keypress until the direction is changed? When I start the program and press the first key the program freezes. Can anyone tell me why this doesn't work and give me a possible solution to my problem?
if event.key == pygame.K_UP:
    key = False
    while key == False:
        schlange.move(0, -50)
if event.key == pygame.K_DOWN:
    key = True
    while key == True:
        schlange.move(0, 50)
if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
    key = False
    while key == False:
        schlange.move(-50, 0)
if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
    key = True
    while key == True:
        schlange.move(50, 0)

def move(self, x_change, y_change):
    self.screen.fill(BLACK)
    self.x_change = x_change
    self.y_change = y_change

    self.rectsize = (self.startx, self.starty)
    pygame.draw.rect(self.screen, self.color, [self.startx, self.starty, self.width, self.height])

Thanks in advance!

A: The formatting in your code is off - but regardless - the code in each of the sections that look like:
key = False
while key == False:
    schlange.move(0, -50)

Will never complete.  That while loop will ALWAYS evaluate to True, because key == False is always true, and never changes.  So the loop will never end.

A: it could be something like this
speed = (0, 0)

While True:

    # --- events ---

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.KEYDOWN:
            if event.key == pygame.K_UP:
                speed = (0, -50)
            elif event.key == pygame.K_DOWN:
                speed = (0, 50)
            if event.key == pygame.K_LEFT:
                speed = (-50, 0)
            if event.key == pygame.K_RIGHT:
                speed = (50, 0)

Only a fraction of the population are under chiropractic care and only a fraction of those under care are children. How can that be? It's simply unbelievable and quite frankly astounding! Why do we think it's all right for us as adults to address problems that have been accumulating for decades and then let the same thing happen to our children? It's just like dealing with being overweight, heart disease, or high blood pressure issues as adults and we let our children do the same things that led us to the health issues we struggle with today. It is our duty as parents to provide the best possible start to our kids and that means making sure they eat healthy, brush their teeth and, of course making sure their spine and nervous system are healthy and aligned. Making sure their spines and nervous systems are healthy and aligned may not be a mainstream practice yet, but we are closer than ever before to making it the standard that every child has regular chiropractic visits continuing into adulthood. So, if you have been reading along you must be asking yourself when should I schedule my child for their visit? Today! right now! Why wait? Schedule a complimentary, initial evaluation for your child today, and give them this incredible gift of health and well-being. See you soon.


Let your little boy proudly show off his new title with our Big Bro Baby Announcement T-Shirt.
Available in a choice of black, white or grey cotton, each T-Shirt displays the wording 'soon-to-be Big Bro' in a modern brush script design for the ultimate pregnancy reveal.
A perfect new baby and baby shower gift for Mum, Son and Bump alike!

Profile - 4imprint - A Global Impression (1,432 words)
4imprint marries direct response with promotional marketing
By Lisa A. Yorgey
Companies grow their businesses by expanding into international markets for one of two reasons—either to boost sales or increase profits. Which reason governs their approach. For example, a mature business experiencing flat profits and sales may enter into a licensing agreement with a company outside its domestic market to raise profits. A company with little or no room for expansion or growth in its domestic market can boost sales with a solo venture operated from either the United States or an overseas operation. Or, a company looking to increase its long-term sales can can acquire or merge with a local company in its target market. This was the strategy chosen by 4imprint, a multi-channel distributor of promotional products.
An International Journey
4imprint began its journey toward global marketing in 1986 when company founder Dick Nelson decided to sell premiums via direct mail rather than by the traditional method of selling face to face. He started with a small brochure, and began looking for capital to fund his fledgling business, Nelson Marketing. At the same time, the business products division of cataloger Miles Kimball was looking to grow its market share with an acquisition. Miles Kimball acquired Nelson Marketing in 1988; however, it was resold to Nelson a few years later when Miles Kimball refocused its attention and resources on the consumer side of its business.
Nelson was again in search of capital to fuel his company. Bemrose, a British supplier of promotion products with a large European sales field, bought Nelson Marketing in 1996, and the strictly direct marketing company instantly became a global distributor of promotional products.
"Only five percent of promotion items in the industry are sold via direct marketing channels," says Greg Iott, 4imprint's vice president, business development, who explains that "4imprint needed distributor channels to reach the remaining 95 percent of the promotion products market."

Despite a high volume of of entrepreneurial activity, Ghana has a low rate of success in transforming small enterprises into larger, more productive companies, which can help to promote economic growth and create jobs. In 2013 with support from DFID, TechnoServe launched the Enhancing Growth in New Enterprises (ENGINE) project to support 1,000 small and growing businesses in Ghana over four and a half years.
Mobile Training for Rural Farmers
With large rural populations in Africa, it can be difficult to reach farmers for training and traveling to training can be costly and time consuming for farmers. The Mobile Training Unit project is an innovative agricultural extension training approach, which allows for large groups of smallholder farmers to receive audio and visual training lessons in rural areas.

Q: Why can't I make this bean @Transactional in Spring? I'm writing a simple bean that I want to configure with a table name, an XML file with some data, so that if at application startup the table is empty it get initialized with that data. I decided to use simple SQL queries, but I can't get a session from the sessionfactory, because it says:

Error creating bean with name 'vecchiOrdiniFiller' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring/servlet-context.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Hibernate Session bound to thread, and configuration does not allow creation of non-transactional one here

But this is the configuration (very similar to a service):
<bean id="transactionManager"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="mySessionFactory" />
</bean>

<tx:annotation-driven />

<bean id="ordiniVecchioSistemaLoader" class="it.jsoftware.jacciseweb.assistenza.common.ExcelXmlDataLoader">
    <property name="xmlFileName" value="WEB-INF/data/daticlientijaccisemarco.xml"></property>
</bean>

<bean id="vecchiOrdiniFiller" class="it.jsoftware.jacciseweb.assistenza.common.BaseTableFiller" init-method="init">
    <property name = "sessionFactory" ref = "mySessionFactory"></property>
    <property name="loader" ref="ordiniVecchioSistemaLoader"></property>
    <property name="tableCreationString" value="CREATE TABLE `vecchiordini` (  `ID` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,  `codicejazz` VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,  `progressivolicenza` INT(11),  `codicearticolo` VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,  `rivenditore` VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,  `cliente` VARCHAR(255) DEFAULT NULL,  PRIMARY KEY (`ID`)) ENGINE=INNODB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8"></property>
    <property name="table" value="vecchiordini"></property>
    <property name="tableColumns">
        <list>
            <value>codicejazz</value>
            <value>progressivolicenza</value>
            <value>codicearticolo</value>
            <value>rivenditore</value>
            <value>nomecliente</value>
        </list>
    </property>
    <property name="loaderColumns">
        <list>
            <value>clicod</value>
            <value>licsmatricola</value>
            <value>artcod</value>
            <value>rivenditore</value>
            <value>cliente</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

and I annotated the init() method with @Transactional. But it doesn't start a transaction and I get that error:
@Transactional
public void init() throws Exception {
    logger.info("BaseTableFilter per tabella: " + table + ", usando: "
    + loader.getSourceName());

    Session session = dao.getSession();
    Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
    ...

why doesn't that work?

A: I don't think you can make the init method transactional. But you can invoke another transactional method of another service from it.

A: The init-method or @PostConstruct annotated methods are not proxied, so you will not be able to use @Transactional on that. You should use @Transactional on your service, why is that not suitable for you?
Quoted from the SpringSource Jira:

This is as defined, actually: init methods (such as @PostConstruct methods) are always called on the target instance itself. The proxy will only be generated once the target instance has been fully initialized... In other words, the @Transactional proxy isn't even created at the point of the @PostConstruct call yet.
Switching to mode="aspectj" would help since it weaves the target class directly, in which case the init method will have been modified for transactional awareness at the time of the container init call already.
I guess at the very minimum, we should document the limitations of @Transactional on proxies more clearly - and point out where mode="aspectj" might be a solution.

As stated, you can try the mode="aspectj" but rather you should review your design in my opinion.

Serbu Firearms Refuses To Sell .50 Cal Sniper Rifles To NYPD
March 28, 2013 by Infinite
– Serbu Firearms Refuses to Sell .50 Cal Sniper Rifles to NYPD (Guns, March 25, 2013):
Serbu Firearms, a manufacturer of bolt-action and semi-automatic .50 caliber sniper rifles, is refusing to sell their wares to the NYPD. Their reason, of course, is that owing to unfair gun laws, they will not support law enforcement in New York.
Serbu is one of almost 150 companies that has officially refused to sell to law enforcement in New York following the passage of the SAFE Act, the controversial gun control package that has been met with scorn by gun owners across the nation.
The company posted the NYPD's inquiry as well as their refusal to their Facebook page, with names omitted.
Company founder Mark Serbu said, "Unfortunately, we have a policy of selling to state law enforcement agencies only what is allowed to be sold to private citizens in that state. Since the passage of the NY SAFE act, the BFG-50A is considered an assault weapon and as such is no longer available to private citizens in the state of New York. Therefore we have to respectfully decline to supply your department with BFG-50A rifles."
He also said he felt bad about not being able to outfit the officers, because although he would like to get his guns into "as many police departments as possible," his decision is a matter of principle.
"Because of a stupid law the venerable NYPD won't have the best tools for the job."
What's interesting about this is that while Serbu makes a fine firearm and impressive .50 BMG rifles, they're not a first-tier company in the sniper rifle world and are perhaps best known for their compact Super-Shorty shotguns.
Two of the biggest names in sniper rifles, Barrett and ArmaLite, have already stated that they will not sell to the police departments of New York. If the NYPD is calling Serbu, we have to wonder how many other companies have told them to keep walking.
Serbu is the 137th company to halt sales to New York law enforcement according to the unofficial official New York Boycott list, which is now up to 142 companies (at the time of writing) and likely to keep growing.
The New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, an NRA affiliate, along with the Westchester County Firearms Owners Association, Sportsmen's Association for Firearms Education, Blueline Tactical Police Supply and several other plaintiffs have filed suit against the state of New York and the SAFE Act.
If you want to let them know what you think yea or nay, of just "like" them, head over to the Serbu Firearms Facebook page.

Home News Popular German Luxury Cars Perform Poorly in Frontal Crash Test
Popular German Luxury Cars Perform Poorly in Frontal Crash Test
August 17, 2012 | Yatharth Singh Chauhan
It is a common perception that luxury cars score highly on crash protection. However, many highly popular offerings from various luxury car manufacturers, including the new 3 Series from BMW, have scored poorly in a new frontal crash test which apes the head on collision of a car with another vehicle, electricity/telephone pole or a tree. The test is from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The ratings were given as per the performance in three areas: structural integrity, the effectiveness of the restraints and potential injuries.
Of a total of 11 latest entry level luxury cars that were put to test, merely two — the Acura TL and Volvo S60 — earned "good" ratings in the 'small overlap frontal crash test'. It may be noted that Volvo is presently owned by Chinese car maker Geely.
Nissan's Infiniti G could manage only an "acceptable" rating at this test. The very popular Mercedes Benz C-Class, the Audi A4, the BMW 3 Series, the Ford Lincoln MKZ and the ES 350 & the IS from Toyota owned Lexus were awarded an overall rating of "poor".
The cars fared badly in spite of the fact that almost every modern executive sedan has a safety cage to ensure the protection of the inhabitants in event of a head-on collision. However, small overlap crashes, that involve an impact on only the front corner of a car, have maximum effect on the less protected outer edges of the vehicle.
The right foot of the crash dummy in both the C-Class and the Lexus IS was struck under the brake pedal.
"Most automakers design their vehicles to ace our moderate overlap frontal test and NHTSA's full-width frontal test, but the problem of small overlap crashes hasn't been addressed," Institute President Adrian Lund said.
Of all the vehicles that were tested, the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Mercedes Benz C Class and the Volvo S60 are currently on sale in India. It is reassuring to see that inspite of a Chinese owner, the Swedish car maker has maintained its status of manufacturing some of the safest cars out there.
Paranjay Dutt says:
F30's overall result was "Marginal" and not "Poor".
Anil Menon says:
Basics misplaced or lost? eh!


To solve the problem that recognition rates of speech recognition systems decrease in the noisy environment presently, the Linear Predictive Mel cepstrum coefficient (LPMCC) is used as feature parameter and uses character possessing LPMCC and RBF neural network which have optimal approach capability and the fast training speed, adopts clustering algorithm and entire-supervised algorithm and realizes a noise-robust speech recognition system based on RBF neural net-work. The hidden layer training of clustering algorithm used K-means clustering algorithm and output layer learning used linear least mean square. The adjustment of the entire parameters of entire-supervised algorithm is based on grads decline method. It is a kind of supervised learning algorithm and can choose excellent parameters. Experiments show that entire-supervised algorithm have higher recognition rates in different SNRs than clustering algorithm.

Bernanke Says Entitlement Reforms Needed Soon
Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke on Wednesday said that Medicare and Social Security need to be reformed in order to reduce the financial burden that will emerge when 78 million baby boomers reach retirement age, the AP/Lexington Herald-Leader reports. Bernanke, addressing the Economic Club of Washington, said the nation should prioritize reform of "our unsustainable entitlement programs," adding, "The imperative to undertake reform earlier rather than later is great" (Aversa, AP/Lexington Herald-Leader , 10/5).
The "longer the delay, the heavier the burden" on future generations, Bernanke said (Koffler, CongressDaily , 10/4). Bernanke added that delayed reform might force lawmakers to fund entitlements by raising taxes sharply, cutting retirement benefits, cutting deeply into other government programs or carrying a larger national debt -- or a combination of all four. Taxes would need to be increased by about 33% by 2030 in order to meet all promises made under Medicare and Social Security, Bernanke said. He said that if lawmakers instead decided to fund Medicare and Social Security by cutting other federal programs, they would have to cut spending on all other programs by 50% (Hall, McClatchy / Miami Herald , 10/5).
Bernanke did not make specific recommendations for reforming entitlement programs, "but he suggested Congress adopt measures that encourage older people to stay in the workforce and improve education to make the economy more productive," USA Today reports (Kirchhoff, USA Today , 10/5). Bernanke said that if the current savings rate does not change, future generations of workers would be forced to consume 14% less in order to pay for entitlement programs.
Bernanke recommended that U.S. residents cut current consumption by 4% and put that money into savings in order to grow the economy. Bernanke also said that increasing immigration levels would help offset the loss of retiring workers, but he added that immigration would need to rise from the current 1 million per year to 3.5 million per year to do so ( McClatchy/Miami Herald , 10/5).
Joel Prakken, chair of Macroeconomic Advisers, said, "I don't believe Bernanke is telling anybody in my profession something we don't know. The federal government has on the table essentially unsustainable promises to the aging population" ( AP/Lexington Herald-Leader , 10/5).
"The decisions that we make over the next few decades will matter greatly for the living standards of our children and grandchildren," Bernanke said ( USA Today , 10/5).

MV International (MVI) is a network of 37 European NGOs (one per Country and with members in each of 27 Countries of UE), 8 associate organizations from Africa (Cameroon, Kenya, Senegal and Uganda), Latin America (Argentina and Peru) and Asia (India and China) aimed at promoting participatory planning between NGOs fostering the exchange of knowledge among professionals in the field of European design. The European Non Governmental Organization [ENGO] MV International [MVI] is a non profit "association of organisations" that cultivates social involvement, initiates (training) events and directs community building activities towards inclusive, sustainable and reflective societies. The ENGO promotes participatory planning aligned to the 2020 priorities of the European Union (or thematic programmes of the United Nations) as well as related knowledge and best-practices exchange among professionals in the field of Social Innovation.
"InMediAct" (IMA) is a 6 day International Skills Development activity based on Non Formal Education (NFE), which will take place in Novo Sarajevo (Bosnia Herzegovina). The audience of participants will be composed of 20 youth workers aged 18-30 from 20 member organizations of the MVI network.
IMA will provide participating youth operators with the knowledge, skills and methodologies of NFE to foster youngsters' critical thinking in approaching mainstream mass-media narratives, with a particular focus on the issues of migrants, migration and cultural diversity. The focus of the activity will be therefore placed on contrasting the dynamics of stereotyping and de-humanization against migrants/refugees and individuals of cultural minorities (i.e. Roma) stimulated by phenomena of shallowness and sensationalism at the level of mainstream media.
The city of Sarajevo comprises four municipalities Centar, Novi Grad, Novo Sarajevo, and Stari Grad. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Sarajevo metropolitan area, including Sarajevo Canton, East Sarajevo and nearby municipalities, is home to 555,210 inhabitants. Nestled within the greater Sarajevo valley of Bosnia, it is surrounded by the Dinaric Alps and situated along the Miljacka River in the heart of the Balkans. Sarajevo is the political, social and cultural center of Bosnia and Herzegovina, a prominent center of culture in the Balkans, with its region-wide influence in entertainment, media, fashion, and the arts.
Due to its long and rich history of religious and cultural diversity, Sarajevo is sometimes called the "Jerusalem of Europe" or "Jerusalem of the Balkans". It is one of only a few major European cities which have a mosque, Catholic church, Orthodox church and synagogue in the same neighbourhood.
Although settlement in the area stretches back to prehistoric times, the modern city arose as an Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century. Sarajevo has attracted international attention several times throughout its history. In 1885, Sarajevo was the first city in Europe and the second city in the world to have a full-time electric tram network running through the city, following San Francisco. In 1914, it was the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by local Young Bosnia activist Gavrilo Princip that sparked World War I, which also ended Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and resulted in the creation of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Later, after World War II, the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina within the Second Yugoslavia led to a massive expansion of Sarajevo, the constituent republic's capital, which culminated with the hosting of the 1984 Winter Olympics marking a prosperous era for the city. However, after the start of the Yugoslav Wars, for 1,425 days, from April 1992 to February 1996, the city suffered the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare, during the Bosnian War and the breakup of Yugoslavia. In 2011, Sarajevo was nominated to be the European Capital of Culture in 2014 and will be hosting the European Youth Olympic Festival in 2019.
The hotel is located on the main road between the city center and the smaller down city center called Ilidža, has parking for guests, and two tram stops are only a couple of minutes away. Whether it's about individuals or entire families, the hotel offers tourists comfort and quality service, and business customers can even rent an office or business premises for several days as needed.
Hotel BM International apartments have separate bedrooms, separate kitchen with dining area, mini-bar, bathroom with toilet. Cable TV, telephone and free internet access over wireless network are just few of the details included in this offer.
5) Original travel e-tickets and invoices like train tickets, bus tickets etc.
6) We are planning to bring you to the Swimming Pool and SPA, so bring SWIMMING SUIT.
Chefs of the hotel are preparing meals from 16 different kitchens. So every day for breakfast, lunch and dinner you will have opportunity to choose various meals in the main dining area.
