"I LOVE this place!" Top 5 Page for this destination Locarno by Callavetta
Locarno Travel Guide: 124 reviews and 299 photos
As a huge fan of Italy, I was very intrigued by this Italian region of Switzerland, and the Ticino does not disappoint. I have come to think of it as Italy-lite, with all of the things I love about Italy (the warmth, enthusiasm, rich language, love of life and food...) and none of the inconveniences (train strikes, unexpected closures, laundry hanging out of windows).
- Pros:Beautiful Scenery, enthisastic people, Italian food
- In a nutshell:All of the good things of Italy and none of the inconveniences

The cpu gives a clear performance on 3Ghz which is quiet well. But just for testing purpose I want to know what is the maximum limit this cpu can reach. It is not possible to attain that so easily. Has anyone reached that level on any processor other than AMD. If yes then please tell me the exacts steps for the same.

Alabama Sen. Richard Shelby took to the Senate floor Tuesday to blast health care reform being debated in the Senate right now.
Democrats say they hope to have it passed and on the president's desk by the end of the year.
Republicans and some Democrats have voiced concerns, though, over the bill's cost, and how it might affect those who already have insurance.
Shelby says the current bill is not acceptable.
"Supporters of government-run medicine often cite Canada or Great Britain as models for the U.S. to follow. Yet medical rationing, such as is common in these countries, is inevitable under a government-run health care system," said Shelby. "These countries are forced to ration care or have long waiting lists for medical treatment that lead to the same result."
A different health care bill has already passed the U.S. House of Representatives.

Four Palestinians Die at Rafah Border Awaiting Entry Into Gaza
Red Cross: 3,000 stranded on Egypt side of crossing; Israel: PA rejects offer to cross via Kerem Shalom.
Four Palestinians have died in recent days awaiting entry into the Gaza Strip on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing, which has been closed for nearly two weeks since the kidnapping of Israel Defense Forces soldier Gilad Shalit.
More than 3,000 Palestinians, including 578 deemed "urgent humanitarian cases," have been stranded for 16 days inside a make-shift terminal on the Egyptian side of the crossing, the Red Cross said Monday.
Two Palestinians died at the crossing on Tuesday - a 19-year-old woman and a 1.5-year-old infant.
The young woman, identified as Mona Ismail, was returning from an operation in a Cairo hospital. She died as a result of a severe deterioration in her medical condition as she waited at Rafah. The infant, identified as Hamze Abu Taleb, died of heat stroke.
Two other people also died over the past few days while waiting at the crossing. Hani Daoud, 70, suffered a heart attack after waiting nine days to return to Gaza after receiving medical treatment in Egypt. Muhammed Shuhab, 15, also died at the crossing after undergoing heart surgery in Cairo, an Egyptian official at the border said.
There is no proper terminal at the crossing where people can wait and there is no organized supply of food and drink, despite the heavy heat.
Because of a border dispute between Israel and the Palestinians, the Red Cross has proposed escorting them into Gaza by boat from el-Arish along the Egyptian coast, a Red Cross spokeswoman in Cairo said. But it has yet to receive a response from either side.
Israel, which launched a major military offensive in Gaza on June 28, three days after Shalit was abducted by militants, said it has offered to let the Palestinians pass through the nearby Kerem Shalom border crossing into Gaza. But Palestinian officials rejected the Israeli proposal, insisting that Rafah be reopened.
The Palestinian Authority fears that using Kerem Shalom as a main crossing will lead to a de facto annulment of the "crossing agreement," brokered with the assistance of U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, that formalized the passage of Palestinians through the Rafah crossing.
"Why now move things to Kerem Shalom? If we move it to Kerem Shalom, we're worried they will close Rafah for good," said Palestinian chief negotiatiator, Saeb Erekat, a top aide to Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas.
Palestinians technically control the Rafah crossing but its operations are overseen by European monitors and can be blocked by the Israelis. The others are controlled by Israel.
Israel's Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev said Israel has offered to let Palestinians in need of medical care to use of both Kerem Shalom and the Erez crossing.
"As far as Israel is concerned, the Israeli-controlled crossings remain open for humanitarian cases," Regev said.
Sayeh said the European Union and the Palestinian Authority had asked the Red Cross to escort the people through Rafah.
"The two parties, the Israelis and the Palestinians, did not have an agreement. So we could not conduct such an activity," Sayeh said.
She said the Red Cross has provided funds to the Egyptian Red Crescent, which is taking the lead in providing humanitarian supplies to those stranded at the terminal.

text: The stress of the economy forced the owner of a local hardware store to close. Ace Hardware at Riverside Pavilion, on Riverside and Mulford announced they will be closing. Paul Hemmer Companies first bought the store last year, but blame store operator inexperience and start-up problems for their early closure. Right now there are plans to move-in an American Theatre Corporation Village Grille, that's expected to open late spring of 2009.

PESWiki.com -- Pure Energy Systems Wiki: Finding and Facilitating the Best Exotic Free Energy Technologies
Directory:Hy-Drive Technologies
From PESWiki
Page first featured Nov. 1, 2008
Mileage Improvement for Large Trucks
Hy-Drive Technologies is perhaps the most serious commercial venture developing hydrogen injection technology in which an on-board electrolizer produces hydroxy (H and O) gas that is ducted into the air intake of a vehicle where it catalyzes a more efficient burn of the fuel, increasing mileage by 5-25%, while also increasing horsepower and cleaning up the emissions
Eventually they plan to address the entire combustion engine industry, but at first they are targeting the Class 8, large truck market, one engine type at a time.
On Oct. 10, 2008, the company announced completion of a series of tests used to determine fuel efficiency as well as emissions performance under the supervision of accredited validation laboratories. (Fuel economy tests followed industry standard SAE J1321 Type II test format procedures, while particulate emissions test procedures followed the SAE J1667 protocol.)
In the same press release, Hy-Drive announced performance results that they had promised would be announced following accredited third party validation. "Hy-Drive is pleased to report verified results from repeated sample trials conducted over the past several months on diesel engines in the 5.9-7.3 litre size. Testing for both fuel performance and particulate emissions were all positive, with a range of performance results now documented. Average fuel savings in excess of 20% with commensurate emissions reductions were recorded."
These results puts the company in a better position to proceed towards staged commercialization for on-highway diesel tractors. They will continue in beta testing into 2009, and depending on test results from about 100 class 8 trucks, they will be ready to begin distributing to the first engine type in that market. Simultaneously, they will begin EPA, Transport Canada, and CARB certifications so that they can penetrate the fleet market to fleets.
In 2007 they put out a limited release of product that they ended up having to recall inasmuch as it was not performing in the field as it had in the lab.
The company, which has public stocks, is well financed.

How it Works
Operating Requirements
Operation of the Clean Air Operating System™ requires the addition of 2 litres of distilled water for every 80 hours of operation. The unit is designed and manufactured to SAE J1455 standards for: extreme temperature, shock, pressure, humidity, vibration, salt, fog, sand and dust. Features of the Clean Air Operating System™
- Hy-Slip™ - Hydrogen Enhanced Friction Reducer
- Hy-Slip Assist™ - Bypass Oil Filtration System
- Hy-Link MPG Mileage Monitoring
- Pressure safety controls
- Hydrogen leak sensors
- Turbo boost monitors
The Clean Air Operating System™ can be installed in 6 hours or less and is non-intrusive, meaning that the OEM engine warranty is NOT affected. In addition, the installation is non-intrusive so that an engine will revert to normal operation if the unit shuts down for any reason.

- Hy-Drive is an energy technology firm that has developed a proprietary, patented hydrogen generating system. The Hy-Drive system generates and injects hydrogen gas into a regular internal combustion engine, enhancing the combustion process by allowing fuel to burn more efficiently and completely.

- Improved horsepower 6-8%
- Cleans Internal Combustion Engines over time
- Reduced emissions depending on material, 8-98%
- Heavy duty vehicles
- Automobiles
- Generators
Independent Testing
- Accredited third party validation announced Oct. 30, 2008 for tests done on 5.9-liter engine. The next milestone will be to perform similar third-party tests on a 15-liter engine, as used in class 8 vehicles.
Hy-Drive is pleased to report verified results from repeated sample trials conducted over the past several months on diesel engines in the 5.9-7.3 litre size. Testing for both fuel performance and particulate emissions were all positive, with a range of performance results now documented. Average fuel savings in excess of 20% with commensurate emissions reductions were recorded. These results are notable as they represent an important directional sign that supports the validity of Hy-Drive's HGS (Hydrogen Generating System) technology, and are an indication of performance repeatability.

Company:Hy-Drive Technologies, Ltd.
The company began operations in around 1998. It became public in around 2004. Before that, funding came from private investors.
Hy-Drive's market strategy is to provide a technological solution that delivers both fuel savings and emission reduction for the company's principal market - Class 8 on-highway trucks. The HGS (Hydrogen Generating System) provides additive amounts of on-vehicle generated hydrogen, which is intended to enhance overall engine performance when injected pre-combustion into the engine.
As of Oct. 31, 2008, the company has about $10 million in the bank -- enough to continue development for another 12-18 months. Hugo Sorensen, CEO, raised $26 million in Jan '07 from the public market.

The protocol that powers the Internet of Things

Looking around you now, how many electronic gadgets do you have in arms reach? Perhaps a laptop, smartphone and tablet? Maybe a wearable fitness tracker? Each of these is a connected device—–a device with a radio connected to the Internet. Today there are 14 billion devices connected to the Internet. The industry predicts that by 2020, 50 billion devices will be connected. That's an average of seven connected devices for each person on earth.
Much of the growth in connected devices will come from sensors that monitor our world. And often these devices need to work across environments with unreliable and limited bandwidth.
Finding the right communication protocol
Managing the communication between these connected devices is a focus of the Internet of Things. Today, most web traffic is carried using a protocol called Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). But HTTP has a number of limitations that make it a poor choice as an Internet of Things protocol. HTTP is a relatively verbose protocol, and in environments where bandwidth is severely constrained, every bit and byte counts.
Enter MQTT. Originally developed in 1999 by Dr. Andy Stanford-Clark and Arlen Nipper, it has gone on to become a widely adopted standard for allowing connected devices to communicate with each other.
MQTT offers a number of significant advantages over HTTP:
Insanely efficient
MQTT is a publish/subscribe message format. That means that a publisher sends a message to a topic and that message is received by the subscribers to that topic. Publish/subscribe is not new, but the way MQTT implements this model is what makes it so suitable for the Internet of Things.
In the words of IBM Senior Technical Staff Member Peter Niblett, MQTT is ―insanely small and efficient, where every byte counts.‖ An MQTT message contains a fixed header of 2 bytes, an optional variable header and the message payload (body) itself. Those 2 bytes in the header pack in a lot of information—the packet type, length of the payload and level of quality of service. The payload itself can carry up to 256 MB of information, but most messages are significantly shorter.
Putting MQTT to work
MQTT continues to evolve. The newest version, MQTT V3.1.1, is currently in OASIS public review. And MQTT is being used in a number of important Internet of Things technologies:
As the number of connected devices continues to grow, so will the number of technologies supporting communication between these devices. And just as HTTP has become the standard of the web, MQTT is emerging as the standard of the Internet of Things.
Have you used the MQTT messaging protocol? How are you integrating connected devices? Let me know in the comments or connect with me on Twitter (@MartinRTP).

Veteran designer Pallavi Jaikishan says she has never believed in the concept of inviting Bollywood celebrities as showstoppers, and she will continue to maintain her mantra at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week (LFW) Winter/Festive 2012 too.
"I go according to the international system where designers do not have showstoppers. Only models who are professionals are part of my show. I have maintained this for the past 40 years," Jaikishan told IANS.
The designer, who completes four decades in the business fashion this year, is showcasing her collection at the gala Friday. This is the first time in her career that she is presenting her collection in LFW.
Her collection is divided into four themes - Sajala - Clouds with a golden lining, Mandara - The mythical tree, Elavia- A thing of beauty and grace, and Ayiana - The eternal bloom.
Asked about the key changes in the Indian fashion scene since her entry, she said: "There are too many people getting into fashion." But she believes it is "good".
"The more the merrier and people can find out the best out of these," she said.

When ever we talk about a good brand or bad brand it's always judge by customer care experience of users. For example, if your telecom company customer service makes you wait a long and never able to resolve your issues, it's like a bad experience. Similarly, if they resolve your issue within minutes and without any wait time, that's what we can good experience. On internet, you will find many horror experiences with companies shared by customer. Such bad experience adds into your bad reputation management and here I'm sharing things which you can avoid to stop giving annoying customer care experience to your customers or buyers.
Good customer relationships don't get formed on their own. You need the help of a dedicated staff and good systems in place to ensure that your customers don't have to face the following problems.
Avoid these blunders to give Customer Care Experience:
Being Asked for the Same Data Repeatedly
If you don't have systems in place, then each time a customer calls your company up he will be forced to share the same data repeatedly. Or when a customer's call or account is transferred from one executive to another, he might be needed to repeat the same information to the new person in charge. Even having to repeat to a person what one has already provided to the IVR system can be quite irritating for any customer. With proper systems and software in place, all he would have to do is provide a reference number and the company professionals would be able to trace the details on their own.
Being Transferred from one Executive to Another Aimlessly
Very often when a problem is not found in the standard rule book company executives don't know what to do with the customer. They may not have the authority to take decisions about the problem and so they keep passing the buck from one individual to the next completely ruining any chance of resolution. Since the customer will not be able to solve the problem with ease there is a good chance that he will not use the services of the company again. It is vital to let customers know that the problem can be solved and guide them to the right person. The onus for this is on the first customer care individual. If the problem is complex and he cannot handle it he must find out on his own who can solve it before transferring the customer to the next available executive.
Never Getting the Same Customer Care Executive Again if Call is Disconnected
With the standard script lines for beginning and ending conversations being drilled into customer care executives it can be a while before the customer can get down to actually explaining what his problem is. Then add the problem of network connectivity where the call gets disconnected and you have the makings of a frustrated customer already. It should be the customer care executive who should call the customer back if the call gets dropped. This simple gesture will make the customer feel heard. By not making him go through the whole painful process of dialing up and going through the company menu of options you have relieved the customer greatly. Now all you need to do is actually understand and solve the problem he has and believe me he will be loyal to the company for years on end.
Well, I don't intend to scare you but a good experience will make your customer remember you for long and for ever. And in the end it's always word to mouth marketing, which really matters. Here is one funny but nice experience shared by Scott McKain:
As a customer do let us know what other factors turns your experience into horrible customer care experience with any services which you have used or are using.

How to Find a Lost Textbook
Losing a textbook can be nerve wracking and frustrating. It can cost up to $80 or $90 to replace a lost textbook. Fortunately, there are many simple steps you can take to find your missing textbook. Before you begin, consider the fact that it could have been stolen
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Before you waste time looking, ask the librarian if the textbook is still in your account. It's possible another student took yours and tried to check it in as their own. If the person checked it in, the book would have been cleared from your account.
2Check places where you are likely to have used the book. If you do your homework at your desk, check the drawers and under your desk. If you do your homework in the living room, check under the couch and on the coffee table.
3If you still haven't found your book, check your entire bedroom. Look in your backpack, old backpacks, under the bed, in the closet, on your bookshelf, and in overnight bags.
4Still no luck? Go to the library and ask for the number on your book. Go to each of your classes and ask your teacher if you can look for your book. If you find a book you think is yours, check the number on the book to see if it's the same number you got from the librarian. Check your friends' books to make sure they didn't take your book by mistake. Also, check your school library to make sure you didn't leave it there.
5If all else fails, you will need to take responsibility and pay the fine.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- To save yourself future trouble, designate a spot in your room where you will put all of your textbooks when you are done using them.
- Put your name inside the book cover so if it ever gets lost people will know who to return it to.
- As soon as you lose your book, begin to look for it.
- Cover your textbook with bright paper or fun fabric so it would be hard to miss when you're looking for it.

Texas Tech has decided to use true freshman running back Aaron Crawford in the fourth quarter of today's game, so no redshirt for him. Crawford has gotten several carries and caught a pass.
What this means is that coaches are committed to redshirting Baron Batch unless a rash of injuries hits the running-back corps.
That'll give Batch a full year of workouts to recover from the staph infection and broken ankle that spoiled his true freshman season in 2006.

Just like almost all of the Palestinians living in Lebanon, Jihad has a limited access to several working domains and sectors. Jihad has been working in construction since four years ago. He specializes in pasting floor tiles. His uncle provided him with the necessary experience to move forward with his domain.
He used to work as a nurse, but his low income forced him to move forward towards starting his own business, which he works hard to develop and improve.
He is acquiring a Youth loan from Kiva's partner, Al Majmoua, to buy new tools and machines necessary for developing his business. He will buy a power engine and a special tiles' cutting machine to make his work easier and faster.
Jihad hopes to keep on expanding his business more and more to provide his family with a better living.

A police car fitted with automatic number plate recognition
(ANPR) technology has been deployed in the district, Southern
district acting road policing manager Senior Sergeant Steve
Larking says.
The technology allowed police to scan the number plates of up
to 3000 vehicles in one hour and match them against any
vehicles of interest.
''ANPR is a tool that helps us get dangerous drivers, unsafe
vehicles and criminals off the road,'' he said.
''It's just one of the many tools police have in the toolbox
as part of our push to make our roads safer.''
The technology used three cameras on the roof of the police
car, which detected plates in ''360 degrees''.
''Pitch black, pouring ran, thick fog - it doesn't make a
difference. It will still work,'' he said.
''In Oamaru, during a trial, the guys did a U-turn and during
the U-turn it picked up a vehicle [of interest] down a
driveway about 100m away,'' Snr Sgt Larking said.
The police car differed little to non-ANPR fitted vehicles.
''It's hard for members of the public to tell the difference
unless they have a close look,'' he said.
The vehicle had been used in Dunedin for about a week, but
would be deployed across the Southern district - Otago and
Southland - ''as and when needed''.
''Any high-risk, high-volume events - that's the sort of
thing we will deploy it for, but on a day-to-day basis it
will be out on patrol,'' Snr Sgt Larking said.
It could detect number plates on cars, trucks, campervans,
trailers and motorcycles and could be used to detect stolen
''On a three-month trial in Manukau [police district], 15
stolen vehicles were recovered and 180 forbidden drivers were
taken off the road,'' he said.
While the technology was new, the information it used was no
different from what police were accessing at present.

Jesse Zerom scored 14 of his 15 points in the second quarter as No. 6 Mountlake Terrace advanced to state.
SNOHOMISH — In a back hallway behind the gym, Mountlake Terrace guard Jesse Zerom jogged toward his team's locker room after a postgame interview.
There was only one problem.
"Jesse, wrong door, buddy," Mountlake Terrace coach Nalin Sood said. "He did good today. That's the only thing he's messed up on."
As soon as Zerom entered the locker room, his teammates exploded in celebration. That's because Zerom, a point guard who entered averaging six points, scored 14 of his 15 points in the second quarter of No. 6 Mountlake Terrace's 63-53 win against No. 7 Foss on Saturday.

Most Read Stories
Zerom hit three three-pointers in the second quarter and helped Mountlake Terrace (21-3) build a nine-point halftime lead. The Hawks would never trail again after that explosive second quarter.
Foss (17-7) played without leading-scorer Dezmyn Trent, a 6-foot-4 guard who will play Division-I basketball next season.
Trent injured his hamstring at practice the day before. He tried to give it a go but lasted less than a minute in the first quarter before exiting for good.
"Let's be honest: Without Trent, that's a big difference," Sood said. "That shows what kind of team they are. They're not just one guy."
The Hawks held a 12-point lead early in the third quarter, but Jericho Ballard scored 12 of his 16 points in the third. His guarded three at the buzzer cut Mountlake Terrace's lead to 47-40 heading into the fourth.
But Greg Bowman and Marquis Armstead, two of the Hawks' steadiest players all season, combined for 13 points in the fourth. That allowed Mountlake Terrace to return to Tacoma for the second straight season.
Bowman finished with 15 points, all in the second half, while Armstead added 18.

Anti-NGSS bill in Iowa
House File 272, introduced in the Iowa House of Representatives on February 17, 2015, and referred to the House Committee on Education, would, if enacted, prevent Iowa from adopting the Next Generation Science Standards — and part of the stated reason is the NGSS's treatment of evolution and climate change.

Montana's antiscience bill in the news
"A Billings legislator has reintroduced a bill that would encourage high school teachers to present evolutionary biology as disputed theory rather than sound science and protect those who teach viewpoints like creationism in the classroom," reports the Billings Gazette (January 29, 2015).
Progress in Scotland
The petition to ask the Scottish government to ban the teaching of creationism in the public schools was revived when, at its January 27, 2015, meeting, the Public Petitions Committee of the Scottish parliament decided to forward the petition to the Education and Culture Committee for further action.
Dueling legislation in Scotland
As a result of a controversy over creationist encroachments in the public schools in South Lanarkshire, Scotland, and a petition to the Scottish parliament to ban the teaching of creationism as scientifically credible, there are now dueling motions about creationism in the Scottish parliament.

Watch New York Fashion Week shows online
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week kicks off its fall fashion shows Feb. 6 and continues through Feb. 13 in New York. Many of the shows will be at Lincoln Center, but big-name designers Tracy Reese, Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg, Carolina Herrera, Tommy Hilfiger, Oscar de la Renta and Vera Wang are showing at other venues around the city.
I attended New York Fashion Week for more than two decades, but now I settle in to watch the shows from my computer. And I'm not alone. More than 630,000 people watched the live streams from various sites during the September spring 2014 shows in New York.
New York Fashion Week Live has added new features to offer a more streamline way to watch and interact during the live streams from both Mercedes-Benz and MADE.
Interactive, and Linked to London, Milan And Paris
New "Chat," "Watch Live" and Instagram sections make for a more interactive experience during the live streams.
And a "Switch City" function allows viewers to watch London, Milan and Paris, following New York.
Fashion Week 2.0?
Says spokesperson Pablo Avion: "The public is ready for 'Fashion Week 2.0′; we're all just waiting to see what form it will take. Although IMG recently announced its desire to make actual event attendance more exclusive (and Vera Wang and others have announced actual or possible defections from Lincoln Center), more so than ever, people want to see the shows online.
"They want to bring fashion week into their lives, homes and conversations. And with MADE now streaming from Milk Studios, people are enjoying more options, and the ability to interact with the events and one another."
About New York Fashion Week LIVE and Fashion Week Online
Since February of 2012, NewYorkFashionWeekLIVE.com has been a resource for live stream information, plus articles on the state of New York Fashion Week.
Last season (September 2013), New York Fashion Week LIVE ranked No. 1 for overall user engagement of New York Fashion Week live streams, ahead of Style.com, NY Daily News, and HuffPost.
February 2014 will mark the website's two-year anniversary.
What Makes It Unique?
Unlike the Mercedes-Benz portal, New York Fashion Week LIVE includes streams from both Mercedes-Benz and MADE (from Milk Studios), as well as independent streams such as Carolina Herrera/AMEX and Michael Kors/All Access, All Angles.
It's now a part of a Fashion Week Online, which offers comprehensive fashion event coverage such as:
- Sneak preview (three weeks before TV broadcast) of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
- The British Fashion Awards
- Mercedes-Benz Miami SWIM
- Plus fashion app reviews, interviews and articles on the intersection of fashion and music.
Also unique among sites, Fashion Week Online expands livestream coverage to all "Big 4″ fashion weeks: New York, London, Milan, and Paris, with coverage as far afield as Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia (at RussiaFashionWeekLIVE.com).

Title I, Part A is a federally-funded program that serves the needs of children – Kindergarten to Grade 12, identified as failing or most at risk of failing the state's performance standards in Mathematics, Reading, and Writing. Title I provides students with extra educational assistance beyond the regular classroom, and serves all education levels, including private schools and charter programs.
These supports include a broad range of programs that provide children with academic interventions, enrichment and/or supervised activities beyond the traditional school day, and in some cases, beyond the traditional school year.
As part of the district's goals, partnerships are supported through Title I by providing opportunities to work with our parents, the community and promoting staff development. Such opportunities include Parent Involvement, Professional Development, and the McKinney Vento Program.
