At a recent board meeting of the nonpartisan watchdog group Common Cause in Wisconsin, executive director Jay Heck mused, "I get the feeling that nobody remembers Scott Jensen anymore, even though he probably plays a greater role now than he did then."
Jensen, as speaker of the state Assembly from 1997 to 2002, was "one of the most influential and divisive figures in Wisconsin political history," the Associated Press noted earlier this year.
In 2006, as part of a broader scandal over the use of state resources for political campaigns, Jensen was convicted of three felony misconduct in office counts, later reversed on appeal. He ended up with a single misdemeanor conviction and a forfeiture.
Now Jensen is a lobbyist for the American Federation for Children, an advocacy group that supports school choice — using vouchers to direct public funds to private schools. AFC played a key role in the state's recent elections, likely ensuring expansion of the state's voucher program.
In an interview, Jensen laughs off Heck's "compliment" but notes that AFC won six of the eight legislative races it targeted. "Our goal was to elect as many school choice supporters as possible, so we focused on races we thought would be close, where our efforts would make a difference," he says.
School choice proponents, many from out of state, funneled $64,000 directly into candidates' coffers in 2014, through AFC and another group. (The AFC-affiliated funder, Wisconsin Federation for Children Political Fund, filed its last report Nov. 26, a month late, risking a penalty of up to $500. Its Washington, D.C.-based administrator did not respond to an emailed question about the late filing.)
In addition, AFC made independent expenditures of $866,000 to boost or oppose candidates. This adds to the nearly $10 million in state electoral spending by school choice proponents between 2003 and 2012, as tallied by the nonpartisan Wisconsin Democracy Campaign.
AFC's spending in the Nov. 4 elections included $148,000 to help narrowly defeat Democrat Rep. Mandy Wright, a former teacher and school choice critic. It spent $123,000 to help Republican Todd Novak score a razor-thin win over Democrat Dick Cates. And it poured $240,000 into GOP choice proponent Howard Marklein's successful bid for an open Senate seat.
Jensen is proud of these victories, which he says give it "a school choice majority in both houses." He attributes this success to public support for school choice.
Yet, in its electioneering, AFC commonly doesn't even mention school choice. It attacked Wright for allegedly using sick leave to attend a protest, which she insists is not true. It went after Cates for his vote on the local school board concerning the Pledge of Allegiance. And it ripped Democratic Rep. Gordon Hintz for threatening a female colleague and being cited in a massage parlor sting operation, both in 2011.
"It was pure character assassination," fumes Hintz, who won by a meager three-point margin. "No issues. No mention of school vouchers. Just go for the throat." AFC invested $107,000 in this race.
Jensen makes no apologies for using other issues to advance his group's goals.
"We usually campaign on the issues that are most likely to move voters," he says. The goal is to maximize "intensity." He defends AFC's attacks as accurate and even restrained. For instance, in Hintz's case, "we didn't have pictures with his pants around his ankles or anything like that."
Hintz believes he survived his challenge because he addressed the choice issue head on. He asked why "billionaires from out of state" were backing his opponent and vowed to protect public schools.
But Jensen notes that other Democrats, including Wright and Cates, "actively campaigned against school choice" and lost. "I'm puzzled why the Democrats thought it would be a winning issue," he says.
Certainly, Jensen and his group have proven that other issues are more potent.

Visitors perceptions of the Utah state capitol building are typically positive, and many visitors comment on the beauty of the recently-restored building. It targets a wide range of visitors, including children, and is currently offering a tour specific to women's suffrage and women's contributions in Utah.
Visitors' perceptions of their experience at the Utah state capitol building are overwhelmingly positive. More than 95% of the building's TripAdvisor reviews are either 'good' or 'excellent.' Many reviewers note the beauty of the building itself, which was recently renovated.
Yelp reviews for the capitol building are also positive. The building's overall rating is 4.5; similar to TripAdvisor comments, Yelp comments also highlight the beauty of the building.
As an events venue, the capitol building targets groups of multiple types: school and non-profit groups, weddings, meetings, and social events.
The needs of younger and older children are explicitly addressed on the visitor center page, indicating that children — both with their families and with educational groups — are target visitors. The guided tours are specifically oriented for people age 10 and older, but the visitor's center page also make tour suggestions and offers activities for families with younger children. In addition, the Capitol Preservation Board, which oversees the capitol building, offers reimbursement funding for education field trip transportation costs.
Given that it offers tours of a historic building, it is reasonable to surmise that people interested in Utah state history and architecture in general are also target visitors.
The capitol building envisions itself as a welcoming public space, and explicitly invites picnickers, family pets, jogger, bikers, hikers and park-lovers to visit and enjoy the grounds.
The Utah state capitol building offers general tours — both guided and self-guided — and is also currently offering the 'Pioneering Women in the Utah State Capitol' tour, which is specific to women's suffrage and the contributions of women in the state. Women's suffrage is particularly relevant in Utah, as Utah was the second state in the US to recognize women's right to vote (1870), far earlier than most other states.
The capitol building offers five different areas as event venues, ranging from multiple grounds areas to conference rooms and the rotunda itself.
Digital Marketing Tactics
The capitol building's marketing tactics are relatively low-key. Its active marketing appears to be limited mainly to social media posts, identically cross-posted across multiple social media platforms.
The building has a listing on the Utah Office of Tourism website, but the listing has an incomplete profile with no pictures, no listed events and no website link. The website itself, while informative and easy to navigate, is also fairly basic.
The capitol building maintains a full and informative profile on Facebook, with regular and consistent postings. Most posts receive relatively little engagement, but the profile itself has had over 94,000 check-ins. Its Twitter feed, Facebook timeline and Instagram posts are identical.
Its has over 9,000 followers on Twitter, over 3,000 followers on Instagram, and almost 8,000 followers on Facebook.

Will Kanye West Be At The VMAs? It Doesn't Seem Likely
It's no secret that Kanye West has a bit of a rocky history with awards shows. Ever since his infamous interruption of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech back in 2009, West has proven himself to be one of the most controversial celebrities of his generation. And as the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards are officially here, many are wondering: Will Kanye West be at the VMAs? Well, it doesn't look too likely, although knowing the rapper, a surprise appearance wouldn't be too shocking.
So far, neither West nor his wife, Kim Kardashian, have made any sort of statement about whether they will be attending this year's VMAs. True, West is nominated for Best Choreography for his "Fade" music video, but considering that the rapper is usually up for numerous awards, one nomination might not be enough to warrant an appearance by the mega-celeb.
And while it will certainly feel a little off to not witness another one of West's epic speeches, it's also completely understandable for West to sit this one out. The past year has been kind of intense for him and his family, and if West needs to take some time to himself, then that's totally OK. After all, West and Kardashian are in the midst of trying to expand their family, and if that doesn't merit some alone time, nothing does.
In fact, speaking to The Hollywood Reporter about the possibility of a third child via surrogate, Kardashian said, "I hope so. There have been a lot of things said and Kanye and I have not confirmed anything. We're definitely trying. We are hoping so."
Clearly, the couple is in the middle of something important. And despite all the rumors swirling around about the Kardashian-West surrogate, the couple has every right to stay home tonight. However, if you're missing your usual dose of Kanye-isms, fear not.
Because even though West might not be at this year's VMAs, his speech at last year's show still reads as memorable as it did a year ago, but his opening statement is especially iconic: "I am Kanye West. And that feels really great to say, especially this year."
And who could forget the year before, at the 2015 VMAs when West announced his future career goals. "And yes," he concluded his speech, according to MTV. "As you probably could have guessed by this moment, I have decided in 2020 to run for president."
So, yeah. West might not be at tonight's VMAs, but his spirit certainly lingers these hallowed halls — because after all, does anyone else perfectly capture the meaning of the VMAs more than West himself?

WATCH: Capitol Police officer falsely claims Brian Sicknick died as a result of injuries sustained on January 6
Sicknick's death was reported by the Washington DC Chief Medical Examiner in April as being a result of natural causes after suffering two strokes.
Hannah Nightingale Washington DC
July 27, 2021 3:39 PM 1 mins reading
Before his testimony given at Tuesday's first hearing of the January 6 select committee, Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn asked for a moment of silence for a fellow fallen officer, Brian Sicknick.
Dunn asked "for a moment of silence for my fallen colleague Officer Brian Sicknick, who died from injuries he sustained in the line of duty defending the capital of our beloved democracy."
Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn states that Officer Brian Sicknick "died from injuries sustained" on January 6th, though the DC medical examiner found that it was natural causes. pic.twitter.com/kmvH7MdylO
— The Post Millennial (@TPostMillennial) July 27, 2021
Rumors before that report said that Sicknick had been bludgeoned by rioters with a fire extinguisher, and that he suffered an allergic reaction due to chemical irritants used to disperse the crowds.
Both were found not to be true during the autopsy.
Many outlets, like CNN, reported on the fire extinguisher rumor, and went back to quietly update their reports.
The examiner's report did, however, note that the riot may have played a part in causing the stroke, stating that "all that transpired played a role in his condition."


610-268-5284 is a contact number on a Cell Number. This device is registered in Atglen, Pennsylvania, PA.
Yes it is.Truth in Caller ID Act of 2010.It's on the FCC website.
It's Pinnacle Financial, they called my home phone and it showed on the caller ID as "Wilkenson Bldrs. Is it legal for them to use a false ID?
If you recognize who possesses (610) 268-5284, please feel free to upload it too.
A male voice said "hi my name is Dan and I've been cleaning carpets for..." I hung up after that as it was clearly a recording.
I received a call from this number on my cell phone. They were selling carpet cleaining services. At the end, it said to press 1 to set up an appointment and press 8 to be removed. I pressed 8.
you need to press 8 to be removed from the list. i just got this call and listened to the recording.
The exact same thing happened to me from this phone number. I had a missed call form this number and when I called back it wasn't in service.
this number calls and dosent leave a message,when I call back it says "the subscriber you have dialed is not in service"
Received a call from this number at 4:51 on my cell phone. Also received one the other day on my land line which is on the Do Not Call List. The Company calls themselves "Carpet Care". I have reported them to T-Mobile.
have been getting calls from these people constantly. They claim someone gave them my info.
This # called my cell phone but did not leave a message. Thanks for needlessly eating up my minutes!
I just received a call too today. A message was left, but they just hung up a few seconds after the beep.
Tuesday 8/25/09, an automated pitch for carpet cleaning (I forgot to note the company name or if one was given). There was a prompt at the end to press 1 to schedule an appt. and 8 to be removed; I thought about pushing 1 in hopes of getting a human to complain to about the call, but figured it probably wouldn't do any good. The call was to my cellphone so the only caller ID info was the number.
I just got a call as well. I could hardly make out a word of it because there was incredible static but it seemed like the recording was giving another number to call.
I just got a call from this number. Why is a cleaning service making cold calls? Aren't they blocked with the telemarketer calls?
Yep, I just got the same call as well. I thought it was a damn company calling me for a job!
Just received a call on my cell phone from this number. No message left.
This number called my cell phone with an offer for cleaning services.
Thank you all for this posting. Troy Dietrich came after me as well and used the match ID of AmTheOne4_U11. Same lines you all got but I have been burned before and so did a simple search and found out from what all of you wrote. Thank you - Thank you !!!
To Susan,Linda,itty,elsie,Lagina,and Abbie...I met this same man on Match.com. His name to me was Geramene Alexandre from Silver Springs Md.age 67, It began just before Easter this year.(2011) Since then I was contacted by an investigator and filled in on the scam. he is many names,including all of the above. But really a guy in Ghana. The stories are all very similar. (names and story lines.0 But he is always falls in love with you.If you go to romancescam,com you will find him. He goes to all the dating places and social networks to meet mostly more mature ladies to pull his scam. If you wish to discuss this ordeal my email is babygrldog@yahoo.com .Sorry,it happened to me too.I also reported to Match but they sent him to me a second time using a different user name.
I just met this scammer on Match.com. His user name is Troysmilesobr8t. We sent IM on Match for 40 minutes. He told me his name was Troy Dietrich and that he was born in Spain of a German father but never knew his mother. He also said that he was an architect/designer and that his wife and only son had died in a car accident 11 years ago and he's been alone ever since. He asked if we could communicate via Yahoo Instant Messenger. He didn't want to talk on the phone before he until we had established a trusting relationship via e-mail. He said he lived in Maryland, and gave me his number as 410-346-5799. I haven't tried to call this number as I don't want him to have it on his phone. I have reported him to Match.com and hopefully he'll be off their site in a day or two. Do not give your personal info to a stranger. And under no circumstances give your home address or send money to someone you meet online anyone no matter what sad story they tell you.
This so called "MAN" has been scamming my mother for the past month. He says his name is TROY A. DIETRICH", lives at 13110 Conductor Way, Silver Spring, MD; telephone number (443-732-0400). This is his second telephone number. He will say he is having problems with his telephone. He will call and ask my mother to go to YAHOO MESSENGER instead of talking on the telephone. His date of birth is 06/04/1945. Owner of this property is Geramene M. Alexandre. Geramene has an unpublished telephone number. TROY claims to have lived in Spain, came to the states (9) years ago, is an architect/home designer, had a (21) year old son die in a care accident three years after coming to the U.S. His wife died of cancer before coming to the U.S. His best friend (Rinaldo, never given a last name but his wife's name is Nicky) died in a car accident three weeks ago, he was intoxicated and struck a tree. The local authorities as well as the State Police have no knowledge of this. The hospital he was taken to was Holy Cross in MD and they have no record of this. He is currently (supposedly in Ghana) buying gold bars. He wanted to start a new business after retiring and went to Italy for his last "job". He has finally requested $8,000.00 from my mother last night (2/8/2011) and says he does not have enough money to ship the gold bars home. This of course is a man that sold his home and private jet (6) weeks ago. My mother is a new widow and of course this "MAN" knows what to say. He has told her he is due at our local airport (HIA) Harrisburg International in Pennsylvania of Thursday 2/10/2011 at 3:20 p.m. and will take a taxi to her home in the Carlisle/Mechanicaburg, PA area. This will take approximately (45) minutes. He has not asked for any monies until last night. He calls at odd hours (time change for Ghana is (5) hrs ahead of our time and (6) hours when he was in Italy. I advised my mother to contact her bank (which she did) and they will monitor her bank account closely. Please, this "PARASITE" HAS TO BE STOPPED. Contact callsusan@yahoo.com if you anymore questions.
look on romancescam. com you find him there, I got scammed big time, thinking you found someone who was honest, believe in God. Geramene M, Alexandre, is a good one. all the stories I read have been repeated to me. Learned the hard way, don't let him talk you into any thing.
He also sends out e-mails to people wanting them to buy gold. Do not believe this man. Claims to be in Africa but who knows where he really is... He likes to prey on women for money. Will tell them his uncle is in the hospital in Africa. This man is also on several dating sites and scamming sites. So women beware..
Says his name is Alberto Alssandro. Claims to be in the gold business. But then he tells women he had to go to Africa because his uncle was in a wreck. Then he starts asking for money. But then gives another name to send the money to. Tells you it is his friend. Please do something about this internet scammer.

Bromley is a large town in the London Borough of Bromley, Greater London, England, 9.3 miles (15.0 km) south-east of Charing Cross.[2]
Historically a market town, chartered in 1158, Bromley was an ancient parish in the county of Kent.[3] Its location on a coaching route and the opening of a railway station in 1858 were key to its development, and the shift from an agrarian village to commerce and retail. As part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Bromley significantly increased in population and was incorporated as a municipal borough in 1903. A commercial and retail district, it has been part of Greater London since 1965.[4]

Bromley is first recorded in a charter of 862 as Bromleag and means 'woodland clearing where broom grows'. It shares this Old English etymology with Great Bromley in Essex, but not with the Bromley in Tower Hamlets.[5]
The history of Bromley is closely connected with the See of Rochester. In AD 862 Ethelbert, the King of Kent, granted land to form the Manor of Bromley. It was held by the Bishops of Rochester until 1845, when Coles Child, a wealthy local merchant and philanthropist, purchased Bromley Palace (now the hub of the Bromley Civic Centre) and became lord of the manor. The town was an important coaching stop on the way to Hastings from London, and the now defunct Royal Bell Hotel (just off Market Square) is referred to in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It was a quiet rural village until the arrival of the railway in 1858 in Shortlands, which led to rapid growth, and outlying suburban districts such as Bickley (which later overflowed into Bromley Common) were developed to accommodate those wishing to live so conveniently close to London.[6]
Bromley, also known as Bromley St Peter and St Paul, formed an ancient parish in the Bromley and Beckenham hundred and the Sutton-at-Hone lathe of Kent.[7] In 1840 it became part of the expanded Metropolitan Police District. The parish adopted the Local Government Act 1858 and a local board was formed in 1867. The board was reconstituted as Bromley Urban District Council in 1894 and the parish became Bromley Urban District. It formed part of the London Traffic Area from 1924 and the London Passenger Transport Area from 1933.[8] In 1934, as part of a county review order, the borough was expanded by taking in 1,894 acres (7.66 km2) from the disbanded Bromley Rural District; an area including parts of the parishes of Farnborough, Hayes, Keston and West Wickham. Bromley became part of the newly created Greater London in 1965, in the new London Borough of Bromley.
Governance[edit]
Bromley forms part of the Bromley and Chislehurst Parliament constituency and the London European Parliament constituency. The current MP is Bob Neill. Gareth Bacon is the London Assembly member for the Bexley and Bromley constituency, in which the town is located.
Bromley's most prominent MP was the former Conservative Prime Minister Harold Macmillan.
Bromley is located 9.3 miles (15 km) south east of Charing Cross and is one of the major metropolitan centres identified in the London Plan.[4] Bromley is a post town in the BR postcode area, consisting of BR1 and part of the BR2 postcode district.[9] BR1 covers Bromley, Bickley, Sundridge Park and part of Downham; and the BR2 portion covers Hayes, Shortlands, Bickley and Bromley Common.[10]

Bromley High Street[edit]
The town has a large retail area, including a pedestrianised High Street and The Glades centre, the main shopping mall, which has a catchment of 1.3 million people.[14] The shopping area includes retailers such as Gap, Oasis, Russell & Bromley and Waterstone's, whilst the restaurants includes a branch of the small chain of Belgian-themed Belgo restaurants. Development at the nearby St. Mark's Square has seen further restaurants and a cinema established.
Bromley High Street is also the location for the Bromley Charter Market, which runs on a Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. King John granted a charter for the Market to be held every Tuesday in 1205, with Henry VI revising this charter to every Thursday in 1447.[15][16] The Market sells food and confectionery items, clothing and other goods like jewellery.

The Churchill Theatre was opened on 19 July 1977 by HRH Prince of Wales, and seats 785. It is run on a contract currently held by the Ambassador Theatre Group acting as both a receiving and producing house, with productions transferring to the West End or touring nationally. An example being recent tours of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Bromley also has a central library in the same building as the Churchill Theatre with a large book stock, Internet and wifi access, reference library and local studies department. It functions as the central library of the broader Bromley Borough Libraries Service. Empire Cinemas own a four-screen site in Bromley, with screen 1 being its biggest with a capacity of 392. Screens 2 and 3 have disabled access.
Bromley has its own team of Morris dancers, The Ravensbourne Morris Men founded in 1947 as a post war revival team following an inaugural meeting at the then Jean's Café, which was located opposite Bromley South Station.[17]
Popular culture[edit]
In the famous Monty Python Spam sketch Bromley was stated to be the location of the fictional Green Midget Café, where every item on the menu was composed of spam in varying degrees. In another Monty Python sketch it was stated that all seven continents are visible from the top of the Kentish Times building in Bromley.
The Mall in Bromley appeared on the cover of the 1982 album Sounds Like Bromley by Bromley born Billy Jenkins. The picture is of the rear of the then Bromley Toy Fayre, Bramber Womenswear and car park above a supermarket.
The Bromley Contingent was the name given to the entourage that followed the Sex Pistols and helped popularise the punk movement. It was so called because many of its members were from Bromley, some of whom later became famous as musicians in their own right, like Siouxsie Sioux and Billy Idol.
Sport and leisure[edit]
The town has four Non-League football clubs. Two teams play their home games at the Hayes Lane Stadium: Bromley F.C. and Cray Wanderers F.C.. The other teams, Holmesdale F.C. and Greenwich Borough F.C., play at Oakley Road. Bromley F.C. are in the Conference National, one level below the Football League.[citation needed]
Four rugby clubs in Bromley are, Old Elthamians a National League 2 side, Parkhouse FC, Bromley RFC and Beckenham RFC. Beccehamians RFC is a club that was founded in 1933 which plays competitive rugby at Sparrows Den at the bottom of Corkscrew Hill in nearby West Wickham.[18]

Landmarks[edit]
St Peter and St Paul
The parish church of St Peter and St Paul stands on Church Road. It was largely destroyed by German bombing on 16 April 1941 and rebuilt in the 1950s incorporating the medieval tower and reusing much of the flint and fragments of the original stone building.[19] The most noteworthy historic building is Bromley College, London Road. The central public open spaces are; Queen's Gardens, Martin's Hill, Church House Gardens, Library Gardens and College Green.
Another parish church in Bromley worth noting is St Mark's, which stands in Westmoreland Road. The present church is the third. The first was built as a temporary iron church in 1884 to cope with Bromley's growing population, on land slightly to the east of the present church, donated by a local man called Eley Soames. The road name St Mark's Road preserves the rough location of the former site.[20] The East Street drill hall was completed in 1872.[21]
The second church was built in brick and stone on the present site, and designed by Evelyn Hellicar, son of the then vicar of St Peter and St Paul's. It was completed in 1898 in the Perpendicular Gothic style and consecrated by William Walsh, Bishop of Dover, on 22 October that year. The tower, though, was not completed until 1904. Like St Peter and St Paul's, St Mark's was heavily damaged in the London Blitz of 1941. Only the tower survived intact.[20]
On 3 June 1952, the Duchess of Kent laid the foundation stone of the present church, which was designed by T W G Grant and built by David Nye. Besides the tower, other parts of the fabric of the original church were used in the rebuilding. Inside there are some interesting monuments: to Samuel Ajayi Crowther, John Cole Patteson and Vedanayagam Samuel Azariah, who were all bishops in the Commonwealth.[20]

H. G. Wells[edit]
H. G. Wells, "one of the remarkable minds of the twentieth century," was born in Bromley on 21 September 1866, to Sarah and Joseph Wells; his father was the founder of the Bromley Cricket Club and the proprietor of a shop that sold cricket equipment.[22] Wells spent the first thirteen years of his life in Bromley. From 1874 to 1879 he attended Tomas Morley's Bromley Academy, at 74 High Street.[23] There was an 'H. G. Wells Centre' in Masons Hill near the southern end of the High Street which housed the Bromley Labour Club (the building was demolished in 2017). In August 2005, the wall honouring Wells in Market Square was repainted. The current wall painting features a rich green background with the same Wells reference and the evolution sequence of Homo sapiens featured in Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, a former resident of nearby Downe Village.[24]
Wells wrote about Bromley in an early unsigned article in the Pall Mall Gazette in which he expressed satisfaction that he had been born in an earlier, more rural Bromley.[25] A blue plaque marks Wells' birthplace in Market Square, on the wall of what is now a Primark store.[26] A marble plaque appears above the door of 8 South Street, the location of Mrs Knott's Dame school where "Bertie", as he was called as a child, learned to read and write.[27] H.G. Wells featured Bromley in two of his novels: The War in the Air (which refers to Bromley as Bunhill) and The New Machiavelli (in which Bromley is referred to as Bromstead).
However, H. G. Wells refused the offered freedom of the town, stating:
"Bromley has not been particularly gracious to me nor I to Bromley and I don't think I want to add the freedom of Bromley to the freedom of the City of London and the freedom of the City of Brussels – both of which I have."
He described Bromley in one of his novels as a "morbid sprawl of population". [28]

Charter Flights to Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE)
Beautiful and captivating, Venice is a city like no other and always worth a visit. Venice Airport is just 12 kilometres from the centre of this historic city, making it ideal for quick transfer to the beautiful city on the sea. Why not make your trip extra special and book a charter flight to Venice with JetApp?
Venetian Air Travel: The History of Venice Marco Polo Airport
Built in 1915, Venice Lido Airport initially served as a military airfield, until it opened for civil aviation in 1926. However, ever increasing demand meant that the airport no longer served capacity and so a new airport, Venice Marco Polo, was built in 1950 near Tessera, just outside of Venice on the mainland. The new Venice airport opened in 1960 and has remained in continuous operation since. In the decades that followed, the airport was modernised and renovated several times. Most recently, an entire new terminal was built in 2002 in order to cope with the increasing numbers of visitors to Venice. Today, Venice VCE is an important destination for tourists and in particular for visitors to the Biennale.
Venice Airport Location
Distances from Venice Airport to:
Venice city centre: approx. 12 kilometres

Charter Flights from Venice Airport: Connections & Facilities
Venice is not only a beautiful city, but also the ideal starting point for trips to other exclusive destinations in Europe. No matter if you are taking a private jet or a business flight from Venice, the Airport boasts excellent services and amenities for quick and relaxed travel. By private jet, for example, you can reach the following popular destinations in less than two hours:

Venice ✈ Geneva Airport (LSGG / GVA): approx. 1 hour 15 minutes
A charter flight from Venice to Rome Ciampino (CIA) takes about one hour, while a flight to Paris Le Bourget (LBG) lasts an hour and a half. This exclusive private airport is located just seven kilometres from the French capital. Nice (NCE) is roughly one hour away from Venice by private jet charter. From the city on the Côte d'Azur, passengers can travel onwards to Monaco – a helicopter flight takes only 20 minutes. Within Italy, Milan Linate Airport (LIN) is just 45 minutes away from Venice. For a trip to Switzerland from Venice, a flight to Geneva (GVA) takes about an hour.
Certain exclusive services are available at Venice Airport solely for the benefit of private jet passengers. For example, there is a VIP service, which provides personal assistance through all check-in gates and security checks. Additionally, private jet passengers benefit from a quick check-in through an exclusive priority lane. There is also a VIP lounge available for your stay, including showers, Wi-Fi, TV, and a bar.

There are also limousine services, however cars are restricted from driving in the actual city itself and must park near the train station.

Venice is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Europe. This romantic city with its numerous waterways and magnificent buildings is undoubtedly worth a private jet.

As the Summer Reading Challenge draws to a close, local libraries are gearing up for their award presentations. Thousands of children who completed this year's space-themed challenge will be presented with a medal and certificate for their efforts, with many of the ceremonies having local dignitaries and authors in attendance.

Two weeks ago, we released the early statistic that [more children signed up to the Summer Reading Challenge in 2019 than last year](/news/latest-src-figures/).

Suffolk Libraries head of digital and marketing Leon Paternoster said: "We're thrilled that just under 8,000 children took part in this year's challenge, an 8% increase on last summer. We helped increase literacy levels in preparation for the new school year, gave parents a chance to spend some quality time with their children and had lots of fun along the way."

All children who have signed up for the Summer Reading Challenge and read the six books as required will be rewarded for their efforts at one of the local library presentations below. Contact [your local library](/libraries/) if their ceremony is not listed.

Phillies notes: Move to left field OK with Revere
Sandberg likes the setup of having Revere in left field and Odubel Herrera in center field because he believes each position allows both of their arms to play better at those positions.
Phillies notes: Move to left field OK with Revere Sandberg likes the setup of having Revere in left field and Odubel Herrera in center field because he believes each position allows both of their arms to play better at those positions. Check out this story on courierpostonline.com: http://on.cpsj.com/1CbI6OQ
CherryHill Published 12:05 a.m. ET March 22, 2015
Coming off a 2014 season in which he tied for the National League lead in hits, Ben Revere hasn't been able to get it going offensively in Spring Training.(Photo: AP)
CLEARWATER, Fla. – Ben Revere is eager to play in every Phillies game, regardless of where he might hit in the lineup or play in the outfield.
So when he was approached Friday about starting in left field Saturday and Sunday, Revere went to work in preparation for the change. Of Revere's 440-career regular-season starts spanning five years in the majors, he has started in left field only 19 times.
Revere had 100 fly balls hit to him in left field as well as having coaches feed the pitch machine to shoot more fly balls to help him get ready for Saturday's start. Revere said he felt prepared.
"No, I'm not [disappointed]," Revere said about playing left field. "As long as I'm out there trying to help the team win, that's the biggest key for me."
Revere hesitated to go as far as to say this could be a permanent position switch, but noted, "You never know."
"There's definitely been a lot of changes this spring," Revere said. "If it's permanent, you've got to be ready for it while I'm in the lineup. I don't have any expectations for down the road."
Phillies manager Ryne Sandberg said spring training is a time to try out new things with a lineup, which prompted the change in the defensive positions. Sandberg likes the setup of having Revere in left field and Odubel Herrera in center field because he believes each position allows both of their arms to play better at those positions.
"It's something I wanted to look at and all part of spring training," Sandberg said. "I think the defense overall we play pretty solid overall with that combination."
The defensive position change immediately paid off for the Phillies in their 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays as Revere and Herrera each recorded an outfield assist by throwing out a base runner at home plate. Herrera picked up a ball that went for a double off the wall in left-center field in the sixth inning and started a relay – Herrera to shortstop Freddy Galvis to catcher Carlos Ruiz – that got Toronto's Devin Travis out at home.
In the eighth inning, Revere showed off his arm, which has gotten criticism for delivering weak and inaccurate throws from center field. Revere fielded a single to left field and made a solid throw to get Justin Smoak at the plate.
Sandberg wouldn't commit to keeping Revere in left field and Herrera in center field beyond Saturday and Sunday's games, saying, "We'll see."
Getting used to left field hasn't been the only adjustment Revere has been trying to make. Coming off a 2014 season in which he tied for the National League lead in hits, Revere hasn't been able to get it going offensively. He went 2 for 4 Saturday, raising his batting average this spring to .162. Revere isn't putting too much weight on his production thus far with two weeks remaining before the season begins.
"Of course you want to have your timing down, but you have so many games as an everyday player, you can have that one game and you're clicking," Revere said. "I'm not worried about it. I know my issues are. It's a little timing thing, but you always want to have a game those last two weeks were you hit the ball hard a couple times and getting hits."
Getting Revere time and familiarity in left field helps him become more versatile and gives Sandberg flexibility with his lineup. Revere understands that a move to left field could also help extend his baseball career by being able to play multiple positions.
"Baseball always has changes and you have to be prepared for it," Revere said. "It's all about being prepared for it mentally."

As sports are a huge trend in India, a whole channel on cable has been dedicated for sports such as Bundesliga, F1, cricket, kabaddi, badminton, and hockey. Star Sports is not only one channel, it is a string of channels which all air different content from specific sporting events going on in the world, but mostly in India. Now the problem here is that if you live in a country such as Canada, Italy, USA, Australia, or UK– you will not be able to get access to this content, and you will be geoblocked. For this problem, you can bypass the geographical restrictions and get unblocked access to streaming content on Star Sports right from your devices. As Star Sports supports many devices including your Android, iPhone, iPad, Nokia Phones, PC, and Mac – it proves itself to be a worthy service for anyone interested in watching sports content.
Virtual Private Network is definitely a contender in the challenge to unblock Star Sports outside India as it provides so many exquisite features to its users. VPN will only change your device's IP address to make the Star Sports servers think that you are situated within its designated countries and hence give you complete and unquestioned access to their content. The great thing about using VPN is that it can unblock content on other sites including Netflix, HBO Go, FetchTV, BBC iPlayer, and Arabic BeIN Sports as well.
Register with a quality VPN service, one that you believe will work best with your requirements and needs.
Now a VPN will give you something to worry about, it's the fact that your connection speed will decrease depending on the quality of VPN that you have.
Although VPN's give you additional security and privacy when they are switched on, so this somewhat covers the fact that your speed will decrease.
Install the necessary drivers and softwares on your device's to be able to stream content on all those devices. VPN's support many devices including your PC, Mac, Android, and iPhone.
Now if you are looking for VPN you can try out ExpressVPN, it comes with a thirty day refund policy in which you can return the service and get every dime you paid back. Also ExpressVPN has been known to deal excellently with customer queries, and you can easily contact them if something does go wrong. Moreover, if ExpressVPN is not the right pick for you, there are still one too many VPN's available for you to purchase and use.
So the second method you can use to bypass geographical restrictions is through Smart DNS Proxy. This method is a little more complex and will require you to be more handy with your device. Smart DNS Proxy works in a similar manner to VPN but instead of changing your network's configuration, it simply reroutes incoming traffic coming to your device and sends it somewhere – where Star Sports will agree to send their content to.
The great thing about using Smart DNS Proxy is the fact that your speed does not get affected when you are using it. So you get the maximum potential of your internet.
Since Smart DNS Proxy makes your connection more vulnerable to attacks, your ISP can hijack your connection and use transparent proxies to stop you from streaming.
Smart DNS Proxy can be used on many devices including your PC, Mac, Apple TV, iPhone, and Android.
Another great point about Smart DNS Proxy is that if you want to watch on another platform such as HBO Go, Stan, or Willow TV – you do not need to change your configurations at all.
Unlocator is a Smart DNS Proxy available for download now and is known for unblocking content on streaming sites. Unlocator comes with a seven day free trial in which you that should give you enough time to test out the service with your devices. With Unlocator you should easily be able to bypass geographical restrictions by any streaming site including Star Sports outside India. Unlocator is also packed with setup guides and videos teaching you how to set the whole system up for use on your device.
Here are the devices on which Star Sports can be viewed on.
So should I go with VPN or Smart DNS Proxy to unblock Star Sports outside India?
So this is the big decision you're going to have to make here, deciding on whether VPN or Smart DNS Proxy works better for you. After this you need to think about which provider of that specific service fits you best. The answers to both of these questions are just opinions, there is no one service "better" than the other. It's up to you to decide which service works best for you, VPN has a more secure but slower connection. On the other hand Smart DNS Proxy has a faster but less secure connection. Try to figure out the other points about each service and then try to decide, whatever you go for just remember it'll work.


A Unix-Linux migration expert describes the differences between Solaris on SPARC as compared to. Linux on Intel.
What are the differences between SPARC/Solaris vs. Intel/Linux?
Sparc/Solaris is Unix on RISC, while Linux on Intel is CISC. A better question, might be the difference between Solaris on SPARC or Solaris on Intel, as Solaris will run on both platforms very well. Another apples to apples question, might be Intel/Solaris vs. Intel/Linux. Understand that Solaris (while open source) is Unix and Linux is a Unix-like operating system that is not Unix. As a Unix, Solaris is officially POSIX-compatible, while Linux does not have that official certification.
If you have an application that was designed to run on SPARC, while one can usually migrate it over to Linux, it will take some effort to do so, as the applications that run on the systems are not binary-compatible. Because the architecture is completely different, your application will need to be recompiled. I prefer non-proprietary platforms. If you're developing a new system and the question is, which platform I would recommend you build on, I personally would develop on Linux unless your customers are mostly Sun folks.
I will say that there are advantages of using SPARC, such as the new UltraSparc architecture. They include energy efficiency, better fault tolerance and the cleaner architecture of RISC (big Endean). If your customers are large enough that they need optimum performance, availability and support, you certainly would not be making a mistake by going with a Sparc-based architecture.

"We demand that you block nominees who threaten the rights of women, the LGBT community, people of color, immigrants, and the poor," Key and Field say in the video released Tuesday, the same day the 115th Congress is poised to be sworn in.
The message — which asks supporters to sign a MoveOn.org petition to be sent to members of Congress — was created by the social media campaign Humanity for Progress, formerly known as the pro-Hillary Clinton group, Humanity for Hillary.
The Rt. Rev. Gene Robinson, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, is among the activists and celebrities in the video.
