Given its closeness to the continent, the flat hinterland and easily accessible beaches, Romney Marsh has always been vulnerable to attack from across the English Channel, and the threat of invasion from France was no exception. In the late 18th century and early 19th century there were two periods of war with France and its Emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte. There are many reminders of this threat along the 16 miles or so of coast from Hythe to Dungeness. These include two redoubts, several Martello Towers, four forts and the Royal Military Canal.

Napoleon Bonaparte, Emperor of the French from 1804, is best remembered for his role in the wars led against France by a series of coalitions, the so-called Napoleonic Wars. Due to his success in these wars, often against numerically superior enemies, he is generally regarded as one of the greatest military commanders of all time, and his campaigns are studied at military academies worldwide.
At the end of the 18th century the revolution in France had turned all of Europe into turmoil and Britain had become embroiled in war against France. After Napoleon had invaded the Low Countries in 1793, Britain feared we would be next, with Napoleon waging war against Britain from 1803 to 1815, when he was defeated by Wellington at the Battle of Waterloo.
Given this fear of an invasion, large scale construction projects were undertaken to provide defence to vulnerable coastline and Britain began planning a number of defensive measures across Romney Marsh to counter Napoleon's threat. These measures included the building of the Royal Military Canal, the Martello Towers and a number of gun Batteries/Forts on the coast at Dungeness and (present day) Lydd-on-Sea.
"All my thoughts are directed towards England.
I want only for a favourable wind to plant the Imperial Eagle on the Tower of London."
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821), also known as Napoleon I, was a French military leader and emperor who conquered much of Europe in the early 19th century. Born on the island of Corsica, Napoleon rapidly rose through the ranks of the military during the French Revolution (1789-1799). After seizing political power in France in a 1799 coup d'état, he crowned himself emperor in 1804. Shrewd, ambitious and a skilled military strategist, Napoleon successfully waged war against various coalitions of European nations and expanded his empire.
However, after a disastrous French invasion of Russia in 1812, Napoleon abdicated the throne two years later and was exiled to the island of Elba. In 1815, he briefly returned to power in his Hundred Days campaign. After a crushing defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, he abdicated once again and was exiled to the remote island of Saint Helena, where he died at 51.
Napoleon Bonaparte is regarded as one of the greatest commanders in history, his wars and campaigns are studied at military schools worldwide.
reference and more information Biography of Napoleon Bonaparte
It was in 1793 that the first war began, which is known as the Revolutionary War. In July 1789 the Bastille in Paris was stormed by the mob. In 1791 King Louis fled, only to be recaptured and guillotined in 1793. The French revolutionaries declared war on all the monarchies of Europe, and invaded the Austrian Netherlands, declaring war on Britain on 1st February 1793. So started twenty-two years of conflict.
There was only a small British Army at the time and defence of the country mainly fell to the shoulders of the Navy. Even the Navy was not large; it grew from a peacetime size of 16,000 men to 100,000 by 1795. Nelson was at the time in charge of the Channel Fleet with fifteen ships of the line and fifty frigates.
At one point in 1801 there was a huge French Army across the Channel ready to invade and all volunteers ,were put on alert. Romney Marsh and the surrounding area became covered in large army camps full of both regular soldiers and the militias.
'The Men of Kent inviting Bonaparte to a banquet!!'
The fear of invasion was not entirely without foundation. In 1796 the French tried to land a force in Bantry Bay in Ireland and were only foiled by bad weather. Two years later they did succeed and 1,100 French troops landed in County Mayo where they were joined by some locals but not as many as they hoped and they were soon defeated.
In 1797 there was also a landing in Fishguard in Wales, which for some reason the French thought would also be an area where the locals would join them. Again they were disappointed and were soon defeated.
Dungeness Redoubt and its four batteries were built in 1798 to help defend the Kent coast against any possible invasion.
A Peace treaty was signed in 1802 at Amiens, giving breathing space to both powers. This however was not the end of the wars and by 1803, war had been renewed.
No. 2 Battery (Lade Fort) at Lydd-on-Sea
The fear of invasion after the outbreak of war again in 1803 was well founded. For some time Napoleon apparently intended to attack England, concentrating a force of 130,000 men and thousands of barges and small boats along the French coast.
This led to a new wave of defensive buildings and in 1804 sites were surveyed for several Martello Towers lining the coast, with larger redoubts interspersed between them, one at Dymchurch. As well as the Martello Towers, the Royal Military Canal was constructed as a defence against the possible invasion of England during the Napoleonic Wars. The canal ran for 28 miles between Seabrook near Folkestone and Cliff End near Hastings, following the old cliff line bordering Romney Marsh.
The summer of 1805 is probably as near to full scale invasion that Britain had been since 1066. Napoleon's army was poised at Boulogne ready at 24 hours notice to invade and Napoleon believed that he had lured the British fleet away from the English Channel.
In August 1805, Napoleon ordered his Admiral Villeneuve, who commanded the French fleet, to "Sail, do not lose a moment, and with my squadrons reunited enter the Channel. England is ours We are ready and embarked. Appear for twenty-four hours, and all will be ended" But Viileneuve had been attacked by the British Navy and he sought save haven in Cadiz. When he did emerge, he was defeated at the Battle of Trafalgar on 21 October 1805.
After the Battle of Trafalgar, Napoleon continued to wage war across Europe for another ten rears. Until his final defeat at Waterloo in 1815, Britain could not rest and the threat of renewed invasion attempts was ever present. Indeed, during 1811, the Emperor briefly flirted with the idea of restoring his invasion fleet. But after hsi defeat at Moscow in 1812,the idea was never spoken of again.
The building of the Martello Towers and the Royal Military Canal continued well after French invasion army left Boulogne, with the last of the south coast towers, of which there were 74, being completed in 1810. The Royal Military Canal was completed in 1809, although by the summer of 1806 there was a 19 mile stretch of the canal from Hythe to Iden. Only six Martello Towers had been built by that time, however.

A: If you're using the system-installed Perl, then why not use the Fedora project's pre-built package for the module.
$ sudo yum install perl-Tk

A: I looked at http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SREZIC/Tk-804.029/pTk/mTk/generic/tkImgPhoto.c - line 3584 and here says "sizeof" not "sazeof".  Doublecheck your source/download.

Police arrest two on weapons charges
Chase followed routine traffic stop in city's downtown
Police arrested two Hollister men on suspicion of carrying an illegal weapon last week after the men refused to yield to an attempted traffic stop, according to authorities.
About 10:43pm Jan. 17, Hollister Police Officer Evan Umstead was on patrol in the area of Rajakovich Drive and Fourth Street, when he attempted to stop a vehicle for a vehicle code violation. The vehicle quickly sped off, according to police.
The vehicle eventually stopped at a business on Fourth Street, police said. Two of the vehicle's four occupants ran out of the car and into the business. More officers arrived to assist, and Umstead went into the business, where he noticed one of the suspects exiting the women's bathroom.
Eusebio Rojas
Umstead was able to detain both suspects, later identified as Jose Concepcion Rodriguez, 28, and Eusebio Rojas, 25, according to police. Both are Hollister residents.
While searching the area, officers found a handgun had been discarded into a trash can inside the women's restroom at the Fourth Street business, police said. The gun was fully loaded.
Jose Concepcion Rodriguez
Rodriguez was arrested on suspicion of carrying a loaded firearm in public, carrying a loaded firearm while being a documented gang member and carrying a loaded weapon that is not registered to him, according to police.
Rojas was arrested on suspicion of allowing a loaded firearm in his vehicle and driving on a suspended license, police said. The other two occupants of the vehicle were released at the scene.
Anyone with information about these investigations can call Officer Evan Umstead at (831) 636-4330. Those wishing to remain anonymous may call WeTip at (800) 78-CRIME. Information provided to WeTip may qualify for a reward.

Before approaching a school board it is helpful to write out your family's educational philosophy. When you check with the board you are interested in you will then be better able to ascertain if their educational philosophy matches yours. If you need help in clarifying your own educational philosophy check Canadian Home Education Parent Resources for some great home education parent resources.
Alberta has "Willing Non-Resident Boards" located throughout the province. You are not restricted to the location of the school board, instead you can choose whichever board meets your family's needs. As I write this, Alberta students have the choice of registering as "Traditional" (parent-directed program), "Aligned" (teacher or school board directed home-based school program), or "Blended" (a combination of the two). Aligned students are required to follow the Alberta Program of Studies (yes, the very same one you took your children out of). Traditional students have more flexibility in what they cover. The onus is on the parent to "raise a good citizen". Blended students pull from both the Aligned and the Traditional choices. The closer you follow the government's curriculum the more money you receive from the government. Read the information on the Alberta Government website to become informed as to how these will affect your home school. Also check with HSLDA (Home School Legal Defence Association) to see what the legalities are.
What is the difference between Distributed Learning and Homeschooling in BC?
Homeschooling families register with a school as homeschoolers and are free to educate their children at home as they wish. Depending on the school, homeschoolers may receive a little funding for books and a few other limited services. Distributed Learning students also learn at home under the supervision of their parents, but they are enrolled with a school that is funded by the province to provide the student with textbooks, resources, and the guidance and support of a certified teacher in order to meet the learning outcomes required by the Ministry of Education.
Looking For a List of Learning Outcomes?
Learning outcomes vary from province to province, and while it's important that our children are always learning, it's not always important that they learn according to learning outcomes. However, if you're looking for guidance, or if your schoolboard requires it, knowing what the learning outcomes are in your province can be helpful as you navigate the diversity of curriculum available. Below are a couple of links to PDF files that you can use to compare learning outcomes for Social Studies and Science in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. If you are looking for the most up to date information on the subject, or further learning outcomes in other subjects, you can do an internet search for the Program of Study for your province.

Performance analysis with detailed thermodynamic models of a power generation system based on the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is presented. The proposed power system in this study is composed of an external reformer, a SOFC with an internal reformer, an afterburner, and preheaters. Natural gas (CH4 ) as supplied fuel to the SOFC is reformed to hydrogen (H2 ) by external and internal reformers. Necessary steam for the use in reformers is either externally supplied or internally recirculated from exit of the SOFC. Exhaust gas of the SOFC containing steam and other chemical compositions is combusted in afterburner to raise its temperature to preheat supplied fuel and air. It is found from the results of performance analysis that the system performance can be enhanced by the use of internally recirculated steam from the exhaust gas of the SOFC. It is also found that the benefit of the high-pressure operation is not so secure if the power to compress supplied air is consumed from the produced power of the system. Installation of a turbine at the system exhaust produces necessary power to pressurize supplied air and, additionally, extra power to enhance total power density of the system.

The next move: 'To the polls'
Erica R. Williams
Bakari Sellers: "The reason people are not involved in the process of voting is because they haven't seen a system that works for them, so they feel no purpose in participating."
"To the polls" was presented as the answer this week as members of Keepers of 306, a National Civil Rights Museum (NCRM) initiative that engages civic-minded young leaders moved to answer the question being asked by many: "Where do we go from here?"
The no-wavering answer came on Tuesday (June 30) evening during a virtual forum to raise awareness about the value of voting.
The backdrop was the quickly approaching local and national elections amid wide-ranging protests against racial injustice.
To make the case, former South Carolina state legislator, author and CNN analyst Bakari Sellers served as guest speaker.
NBC news correspondent Tracie Potts moderated a panel that consisted of a mix of educators, activists, and politicians: Dr. Thomas Parham (California State University-Dominguez Hill), Rabbi Jonah Pesner (Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism), Rev. Dr. Earle Fisher (UpTheVote901) and Tennessee state Sen. Raumesh Akbari (D-29).
"2020 has brought to the forefront, many challenges of the African-American experience, be it healthcare, police brutality and an unequal judicial system, housing issues, etc." said Trevia Chatman, chair of Keepers of 306. "Voting is our power and our voice to overcome a system of oppression that has its knee on the necks of a people."

Chatman used the "knee on the necks" reference to shed light on recent events that have sparked national outrage and ignited world-wide protests, including the death of George Floyd, the unarmed black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer held his knee on his neck for nearly 9 minutes.
"In the midst of the COVID crisis, in the midst of the awakening, the crying out through George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor, I think that people are saying that enough is enough," Akbari said.
Despite the circumstances surrounding the untimely deaths, panelist expressed a rare, but potent chance opportunity.
"The protests that we see — not just around the state of Tennessee or the United States, but around the world — signal an opportunity for us to reinvent what our political infrastructure looks like and ultimately be," Fisher said.
Despite the compelling case for opportunity, he also pointed to a concern of continuous engagement.
"This needs to be a movement and not a moment in history," Potts said, concurring with Fisher.
That statement was reiterated throughout the forum, serving as a call-to-action.
"We need to come together as a human American family and collectively say, if Black lives matter, then democracy and voting matter too," Pesner added.
Voting is one of the prevailing ways to activate change and further the movement, but historically, getting people to the polls for both local and national elections, hasn't been an easy feat, according to the panelists.
On Aug. 6, Memphis and Shelby County residents will vote for key county and state leaders, including new school board members, state representative and state senate primaries, and primaries for the U.S. House and Senate.
In November, across the county, voters will cast ballots for the next President of the United States.
Leaders are hoping voter participation will increase since the Super Tuesday Presidential Primary election March 3.
"We have not had necessarily a voter registration problem," said Fisher. "We have had a voter education problem, a voter engagement problem, a voter empowerment problem and a voter turnout problem."
There were 560,138 registered voters in Shelby County in March, but only 124,892 cast ballots. That's about 22 percent.
Voting right's activists hope the recent court ruling, allowing all Tennessee registered voters the choice to vote by absentee ballot, will help increase turnout or, at least, won't result in a reduction due to COVID-19 concerns.
"Part of what we have to do is instill in generations of people is that what you do in voting, there is no greater act of independent agency and empowerment than being able to turn your echo into a voice," Parham said.
In his brief keynote address, Sellers acknowledge the importance of voting, but pointed out that it's only one of many actions that have to take place to create change.
"Voting is great import," he said. "But we have to demand change now."
This change, according to Sellers, can come from a variety of actions that seed continuous political and civic engagement, while also finding ways to tell the stories of those who are oppressed.
As for getting more people to the polls, he suggested more listening and less talking from leaders, in an effort to meet people where they are.
"The reason people are not involved in the process of voting is because they haven't seen a system that works for them, so they feel no purpose in participating," Sellers said.
With key elections approaching in Shelby County and across the country, Keepers of 306 is hoping the "Black lives matter outcry" will positively impact voter turnout.
Its goal with the event "Where Do We Go from Here: To the Polls" was an effort to keep the issues of inequality at the forefront and the civic engagement momentum going, with hopes that it will lead to more ballots cast in the upcoming elections.

Prices and Review of Mercedes Benz Cars in Nigeria 2022/2023
23/01/2023 23/01/2023 / Price Checker
Price of Mercedes Benz Car-Talk about agility, durability, and strength; I will refer you to the classic Mercedes Benz. Some individuals believe that this brand is the King of automobiles.

Regardless of your reason for opting for this automobile, always keep in mind that just like the slogan depicts, you will get the best for nothing.
Moreover, Mercedes Benz has also proven to be a giant in transportation engineering via notable motorsport events like Formula One as both an engine supplier and participant.

Generally, Mercedez is perceived to be strong. The strength of the brand makes people claim that it is impossible for a Mercedez Benz to summer-sault in the event of an accident.
Although this claim sounds untrue, Mercedes vehicles have superb ground traction that aids to support its wheels, almost feeling rooted to the ground.
It is not possible to highlight all the vehicle models of Mercedes Benz, but we will discuss a few popular ones that are used in Nigeria.
The Mercedes Benz M-Class, generally referred to as GLS Class is the class that the ML350 belongs.
ML (Mid-Size Luxury class) was launched between 1998 and 2015 before the GLE class took over the market and replaced it.
It is a Crossover SUV automobile built for people who value elegance and class. It is available in various layouts, which include the front-engine four-wheel drive and the front-engine rear-wheel drive.
The automobile can be powered by different engines such as the 3.5L V6, 4.7L Bi-turbo V8, I4 turbo-diesel, the 3.0L V6 turbo-diesel, and so on.
It is transmitted via two mechanisms- the 9-speed automatic and the 7-speed automatic.
This single package offers durability, style, and a steady ride. Moreover, the automobile is a dream car for many people.
I am referring to the recent models that are designed with further initials. Whether CLK or CL, the C-Class brand is seemingly famous in the global automobile marketplace.
It is available in Coupe, Sedan, and Cabriolet to meet your requirement.
This is the last model that we will explore in this article. This model often referred to as G-Wagon, is a complete luxury SUX.
When you come across any of the product, you can be sure that the owner is probably a big boy or a politician. They like to own this ride just to show-off.
When the body design was first introduced to the marketplace, people were astonished by its boxy appearance, which looks like a folded cardboard. Today, every big boy and girl wants to buy it.
The G Class has been in the market since 1979, undergoing several upgrades and transformations in its journey. Another exciting thing is, many police forces and national armies around the world prefer this automobile model.
Some of the countries popular used include; France, Ireland, Canada, Greece, Argentina, Greece, to mention a few.
What makes the Mercedes Benz stand out are the durability, class, excellent customer support, functionality, and the uniqueness.
The price is also affordable thanks to the abundance of the Tokunbo and locally used products. However, you must be ready to spend big to get the brand new automobile models.

I can't find any scratch n' dent carded figures to collect anymore. Everything seems to be unpuched, oldest logo possible (or trilogo, or other exotic variants). What's going on? I would think corner creased ROTJ logo card would be common, but no.
There is a huge market for 'budget' carded figures. No more are U graded as no grading company provides that loose service anymore. Where are you looking, on any given day there are dozens of $50-$100 MOCs for sale.
Thanks. I'm looking on eBay. I want mostly ESB characters on ROTJ cards. All I can find are pristine, expensive, ESB cards.
Still no luck finding the creations I want on ROTJ scratch n' dent cards. BUT. I did just go to a show and get 3 nearly perfect Willow carded figures for 50 cents each! I'll take what I can get!

Jersey Shore Family Vacation spoilers: Dr. Drew to the rescue

2 The Mediation
Dr. Drew was called in to help mend the Shore cast's relationships. Pic credit: MTV
Jersey Shore Family Vacation Season 4 premiered last week, and a major part of the storyline consisted of the lingering drama from the girls' infamous speech at Angelina Pivarnick's wedding.
Angelina didn't talk to Jenni Farley or Deena Cortese for nine months following the incident.
In a preview of what's to come this season, Ronnie Magro, Pauly DelVecchio, Mike Sorrentino, and Vinny Guadagnino are shown attempting to come up with a plan to get Jenni and Deena in the same room as Angelina so they can finally hash things out.
They came up with the idea to plan a trip and quarantine together in the hopes that the bonding time would bring their family back together.
Pauly rented an entire resort in Las Vegas and the cast brought along their significant others to film.

Dr. Drew to the rescue
In the preview of future episodes, the roommates appeared to be having fun until Mike said there was a need to address the "elephant in the room."
The sneak peek showed the drama between the roommates come to a head as they began to argue.
Angelina threw a pillow at Vinny, Deena was in tears, and Ronnie said, "She really needs to get some mental help. It's destroying all of our lives at this point."
After Vinny admitted, "We need help!" the preview shifted to Dr. Drew Pinsky — MTV's resident doctor and therapist — as he pulled up on-site to seemingly help the Shore cast work through their issues.
Prior to enlisting Dr. Drew's expertise, Mike transformed himself from "The Situation" to "The Mediation" in the hopes that he could somehow mediate the argument between the girls and help solve their dispute.
During the premiere, Mike invited Vinny, Jenni, and Deena over to his house. The sit-down took place 91 days after the wedding and Mike's goal was to hear everyone's point of view in the hopes of being able to get through to them.
In a confessional interview, Mike explained the predicament he found himself in and said, "We are really caught in a situation right now because we don't want to say the wrong thing to Jenni and Deena and upset them but at the same time we want to move forward and try to put this behind us."
Both Deena and Jenni made it clear they had no intentions of making amends with Angelina. The girls described the social media backlash they faced after the wedding speech audio was leaked and how upset they were that Angelina supported the comments fans made to put down the girls and their families.
Based on the preview of the coming episodes, it looks like Dr. Drew will have his work cut out for him.
Will he be able to make the Jersey Shore cast a happy family once again? Tune in to find out.
Jersey Shore Family Vacation airs Thursdays at 8/7c on MTV.

...and back to the good ideas.
Nice having it all in one place.
Pretty sure this is their best record. Good mix of thrash, death and power metal concepts without too much 'core seeping in.
Like many of his offerings, I enjoy it, but I don't find myself thinking "you know, I really should listen to that more".
Nothing needs to be said about this.
The debut of Angry Russ. Still loaded with really good songs, minus the Disney-fest at the end. The drums didn't age well on this. Very plastic.
Modern country that hearkens back to the Bakersfield sound. Not that level of classic, but as close as you're going to get out of Nashville.
Exactly what I expected. Nothing wrong with that.
Philly's been tuned, but not horribly. Graspop sounds like I expected. Good set, and King has the crap doubled out of him, but given his age he delivers.
Should have been better than it was. Not bad, but not overly great, either.
This is, well, it sounds like something that would have been on New Renaissance in the '80s.
A little light in the loafers for me.
The band's reset is pretty awesome. Too bad they would only be this good for one more album after this, although that's a pretty damn high peak.

The Verla groundwood and board mill and its associated residential area is an outstanding, remarkably well-preserved example of the small-scale rural industrial settlements associated with pulp, paper and board production that flourished in northern Europe and North America in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Only a handful of such settlements survives to the present day.
The Struve Arc is a chain of survey triangulations stretching from Hammerfest in Norway to the Black Sea, through ten countries and over 2,820km. These are points of a survey, carried out between 1816 and 1855 by the astronomer Friedrich Georg Wilhelm Struve, which represented the first accurate measuring of a long segment of a meridian. This helped establish the exact size and shape of our planet and marked an important step in the development of earth sciences and topographic mapping.
It is an extraordinary example of scientific collaboration among scientists from different countries, and of collaboration between monarchs for a scientific cause. The original arc consisted of 258 main triangles with 265 main station points. The listed site includes 34 of the original station points, with different markings, i.e. a drilled hole in rock, iron cross, cairns, or built obelisks.

Naomi Watts, Christoph Waltz, Taika Waititi Set for Venice Jury Duty
Posted on : July 28, 2018
Actors Naomi Watts and Christoph Waltz and filmmaker Taika Waititi ("Thor: Ragnarok") have joined the main jury of the Venice Film Festival, which will be presided over by director Guillermo del Toro, the winner of last year's Golden Lion for "The Shape of Water."
Also on the panel are Taiwan's Sylvia Chang, director of "Love Education," which opened last year's Tokyo FILMeX fest; Danish actress Trine Dyrholm, who was in Venice last year as the star of "Nico, 1988"; French director-actor Nicole Garcia ("Place Vendome"); Italian director Paolo Genovese ("Perfect Strangers"); and Poland's Malgorzata Szumowska, director of "Mug," which won this year's Berlin Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize.
Waltz was on the Lido last year as one of the stars of opener "Downsizing." Watts was in Venice in 2016 with boxing drama "The Bleeder," directed by Liev Schreiber. It will be Waititi's first appearance on the Venice red carpet.
Greek director and producer Athina Tsangari has been tapped to preside over the jury of the festival's Horizons section for cutting-edge works. Joining her are U.S. director and producer Michael Almereyda ("Marjorie Prime"); Iranian actress Fatemeh Motamed-Aria ("Avalanche"); Egyptian producer and Cairo Film Festival artistic director Mohamed Hefzy; Canadian writer-director Alison Maclean ("The Rehearsal"); and Italian director Andrea Pallaoro.

Tirumala Engineering College has been striving to give its students the most congenial environment to enhance their growth and help achieve their goals.
The integrated Mentoring, Training & Placement (MTP) Program is a step initiated by the Management of Tirumala Engineering College towards achieving this mission.
Tata Consulting Services has offered 40 selections on Day One Campus placement Drive for the batch 2011.?
MTP is an innovative and novel program designed to train ALL Students from the very beginning to equip with strong academic knowledge and aggressively exploit opportunities available with Indian and Global Corporates. This program enables every student to become pro-active in defining his own requirements for training so as to enhance her/ his skills.
The student's strengths and weaknesses are identified by the mentor and trained in the right direction to overcome weaknesses and further strengthen the positive attributes to groom her /him into a complete individual for future endeavors. This is consciously done with a specific aim to prepare the student to face challenges in this competitive world and to achieve personal and professional goals through placement.
MTP program thus aims to monitor and ensure student progress by providing timely counseling and advice so that they are trained and groomed to become good individuals and are placed well in their respective careers.
As the student progresses through the Academic Program, each member of the MTP team mentors trains and supports the student depending on the individual's status and concern. The student records the efforts put in all aspects namely Academics, CCA, ECA etc..in the MTP Record. This is a continuous process which enables each student to realize her/his goals and ambitions.
This is done through SWOT analysis i.e.
Training him to correct weaknesses and develop additional soft skills, moral values etc….
MTP is an interactive process between the student and the Mentor. During the mentoring schedules held every fortnight, the student's performance is monitored through the MTP record wherein the activities of the student are updated regularly during the four years of study in the Institute. Regular interaction with the mentor plays a key role in achieving bigger goals. The student also volunteers ideas and put forth her/ his experiences in this record. Thus the MTP book is much beyond a record of activities. It is a mirror of the student and his work in the Engineering Student life. A memoir to treasure!


At the ninth annual Essex County Veterans Day Observance in Veterans Memorial Park in Newark on Nov. 7 are, from left, Navy veteran William D. Squires, Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo Jr. and Congresswoman-elect Mikie Sherrill.
NEWARK, NJ — At the ninth annual Essex County Veterans Day Observance in Veterans Memorial Park in Newark on Wednesday, Nov. 7, Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo Jr., joined by 11th Congressional District Congresswoman-elect Mikie Sherrill, a veteran herself, presented an Essex County Community Star Award to William D. Squires, a U.S. Navy and Naval Reserve veteran. In addition, Essex County employees who are veterans of the seven branches of the military represented in the Essex County Armed Forces monument were invited to attend the ceremony.
"Throughout our country's history, brave men and women have put their lives on hold to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces at home and abroad. Our Essex County Veterans Memorial Park was created to provide our veterans with a place to find serenity and comfort and provide a constant reminder to the public about their contributions and sacrifices," DiVincenzo said. "We are proud to stand with our veterans at this important occasion, give them our respect and thank them for representing our country with valor and bravery.
"Bill Squires dedicated over 35 years of his life in the Navy and Naval Reserves, and continues his involvement in retirement by representing the Navy as a Blue and Gold Officer and with the Academy's Alumni Association. We are proud to honor Bill for his long-time service to his country," DiVincenzo continued.
"Bill Squires represented the very best of what we expect from our veterans. He flew thousands of hours, traveled around the globe and then continued to serve after he left active duty. He just continues to serve his country and community anyway he can," Sherrill said.
For Squires, this award is for all of his fellow servicemen and servicewomen.
Squires graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1975 and served on active duty as a naval aviator for 12 years. During that time, he had more than 4,000 hours flying the P-3 Orion and made multiple deployments around the world. During his Naval career, Squires received the "Wings of Gold" in 1976, served as a member of the VP 26 Special Operations Unit, was an instructor pilot and tactical training team leader, and communications officer on the USS John F. Kennedy, which was his last assignment. Squires continued his service by joining the Naval Reserves, where he served for 24 years before retiring with the rank of commander in 2003.
Since 1991, Squires has participated in the U.S. Naval Academy Admissions Office Blue and Gold Program, serving as an ambassador for the Navy educating students and their parents about the merits of attending the Naval Academy and assisting Academy candidates during the application process. He has held several leadership positions with the Blue and Gold program, most recently serving as chairman of the Area Coordinator Steering Committee, which oversees the more than 2,200 Blue and Gold Officers and acts as a liaison between the program and the Naval Academy Admissions Office. He also has been a member of the Naval Academy Alumni Association's board of trustees since 2017.
Following his service in the Navy, Squires entered the sports and entertainment facility management business and has held top level positions at Yankee Stadium, Giants Stadium, Cleveland Browns Stadium and Disney's Wide World of Sports.
Squires currently has his own consulting business, with the New York Giants among his clients. He is a member of the Sports League Sports Council, which works with the Department of Homeland Security on security and issues as sports and entertainment venues, and an adjunct professor at Columbia University where he teaches a course in sports facility and event management. Squires and his wife, Jodi Squires, are among the top fundraisers in the country for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. They have three children and one grandchild.
Essex County Health Officer Michael Festa, who has been a member of the American Legion Post 185 in Caldwell for 25 years, where he serves as chaplain, gave the invocation. Ta-Leafa Schenck, Kamiko Mathius, Kelice Moore and Kara Miller, seniors at Donald M. Payne Sr. School of Technology, sang the national anthem. Jack McGarry, a retired officer with the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, performed the "Armed Forces Medley."The Essex County Sheriff's Honor Guard presented the colors at the beginning of the ceremony.


Scotland used to be all about the scenery. Yes, it was awesome, world-beating and breathtaking, but if you weren't interested in the great outdoors, there really wasn't much to get excited about. These days, whether it's dog-sledding in the Cairngorms, following castle ghost-trails in Aberdeenshire, climbing through a giant ear canal in a science centre in Dundee or having entrails slung at you at the Edinburgh Dungeons, there's an incredible array of attractions for those heading here for family breaks or holidays. There's also history in spades, and genning up on what happened when and where really does enrich your visit.
The whole country, from the southern uplands to the remotest Highlands, has raised its tourism game hugely since those 1970s summer camping holidays when we parents were bitten senseless by midges. And it's on your doorstep, which means there's no need to set foot in a plane, with all the toe-curling moments that presents.
See the six cities, foremost amongst them beautiful Edinburgh, with medieval streets and newer Georgian additions, set against the mountains with the Edinburgh Castle looming over everything. The Edinburgh Festival Fringe has loads of kids' events, including theatre, storytelling and magic shows, plus hundreds of jugglers, stiltwalkers and buskers that we challenge your kids not to be intrigued by (and they're free). The run-up to Christmas in the capital is fun too – the switching on of the lights is followed by a fantastic ice-show and fireworks display.
But it's not just about the capital. Glasgow, Scotland's largest city is a great mix, with austere Victorian buildings that belie the friendliness of the people. It's renowned for its terrifically friendly attitude towards kids, and there's more for them to do than you could possibly fit in one visit - it's packed with museums and galleries, topped with a vibrant nightlife and plenty of family-friendly activities. Try the amazing Glasgow Science Centre on Clydeside, with fun workshops; the Riverside Museum of transport and Tall Ship just alongside - kids love exploring this impressive vessel from top to bottom ; the mini-museum for kids in the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum; the fascinating Victorian Tenement House in Buccleuch Street; and the sweeping historical display that is the People's Palace and Winter Gardens on Glasgow Green.
Aberdeen, with its stark granite face, yields up such wonders as the cool Aberdeen Science Centre and neighbouring Codona's Amusement Park. Dundee teaches biology in a uniquely kid-friendly way at the Dundee Science Centre. And Inverness provides a buzzing base from which to go Nessie hunting.
Stirling has a castle and town-gaol experience that are fabulously child-orientated. Nearby, and less than an hour's drive from Edinburgh and Glasgow, Blair Drummond Safari & Adventure Park is the place to take a boat-trip around an island of chimps, drive through a big-cat enclosure and get a bit closer to the friendlier inhabitants of the park, such as pot-bellied Vietnamese pigs, in the petting zoo.
Aberdeenshire, Peebleshire and Stirling each have Go Ape! treetop adventure courses, in Banchary, Glentress Forest and Aberfoyle.
As Scotland's best beaches with kids, highlights include the white sandy beaches of Nairn in Invernesshire, with gorgeous views across the Moray Firth to the Black Isle – a wonderful local secret. On a sunny day (and yes, there are many), it's bliss to chill out on its unspoilt and uncrowded central beach and let the kids splash in the superb outdoor pool while you relax with a drink and watch a game of village cricket on the green beside the old Victorian bandstand.
For children of an inquisitive nature, the rock-pools on the beaches at St Andrews provide endless afternoons of poking about. Film buffs might like to note that the sandy stretch next to the pools was where Chariots of Fire was filmed.
Immerse yourself in history with a stroll around Scone Palace just north of Perth in Perthshire.
Check out some of the castles that Scotland's landscape, from barely standing moody rocks to huge impressive monuments that look pretty much the same as the day they were completed. Perched by lochs, on sheer cliffs, alone on islands and in the middle of forests - there are castles here for everyone, often complete with bloody history to keep the kids interested. The barely standing ones are perfect for kids to clamber around, while the well-maintained ones often run family-friendly activities from treasure trails, interactive elements, talks and gruesome tours. Check out Glamis Castle, Fyvie Castle and Cawdor Castle (Macbeth's fictional home), to name but three.
Get back to nature in the Galloway Forest Park, Britain's biggest.
Cast off from the mainland. The best Scottish islands for families include Islay for its eerie Singing Sands, whale- and shark-spotting trips and sea-kayaking, Arran for its rock-pooling, mountain-biking, gorge-walking and wildlife (including dolphins, seals and huge red deer), Mull, for Tobermory and animals such as eagles, puffins and otters, Skye, for castles, 12 munros to bag and lots of walking, and the Orkneys, for their beaches, Neolithic ruins and farm museums.
Pleasingly, most good restaurants in Scotland still offer the likes of haggis, tatties and neeps, usually with a modern, very palatable twist. Restaurants around the country – historically rather unwelcoming to children, at least in the larger cities – now positively court your little darlings, with colouring pens and paper, balloons, kids' menus and puzzlebooks proffered by engaging, switched-on staff who get the kids' orders out double-quick so embarrassing 'I'm Hungry' tantrums are kept to a minimum. The only real exception is certain high-end Edinburgh eateries, which retain a slightly frosty reception to smaller children.
Weather will be your over-riding concern on family holidays in Scotland, but it should by no means deter you, even when it's adverse – it all depends on what sort of a break you're after. Spring is the classic time to see Scotland because it's not too crowded, the weather is warming up and hotel prices haven't reached their peak. It's also a great time for anglers as the salmon are in abundance, making their journeys upstream.
In summer expect crowds, but there's a reason for this – Scotland is at its most gorgeous in July, August and September, especially when the purple heather swathes the country in late August and early September. Prices are at their highest and the rainfall at its lowest, and the famous Edinburgh Festival (see above) kicks in as autumn approaches.
Autumn is great for a short cosy cottage break if you don't mind some drizzle, and winter is the time to come if you are a keen sking and snow sports enthusiast – Aviemore is superb at this time of year.
Scotland is a great-value destination for budget family holidays, although several luxury hotels and resorts offer the opportunity to splurge too.
Action-packed family holiday parks around Scotland.
Iconic family resort with masses of activities in Perthshire.
Vast array of family-friendly hotels, B&Bs and cottages around Scotland.

Pope Francis Suggests Gay Civil Unions May Be Tolerable By Church In Interview With Italian Paper Corriere Della Sera
Pope Francis has signalled that he could see the Catholic church tolerating some forms of same-sex civil unions -- though not marriage -- when it comes to situations such as medical care and property for gay couples.
In an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, the pope said that "matrimony is between a man and a woman," but moves to "regulate diverse situations of cohabitation (are) driven by the need to regulate economic aspects among persons, as for instance to assure medical care," according to a translation by Catholic News Service.
"It is necessary to look at the diverse cases and evaluate them in their variety," Francis said.
While the remarks were far from endorsing same-sex marriage, something Francis and his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI have spoken out against, they represent the latest in what many Catholics and church observers have read as a more gay-friendly tone of the church under the pope, who was elected nearly a year ago.
In an interview over the summer, the pope famously said, "If someone is gay and he searches for the Lord and has good will, who am I to judge?" Francis' call for the church to focus more broadly on positive messages about Jesus Christ and love as opposed to focusing narrowly on gay marriage, abortion and contraception, has also been widely reported.
The latest interview was not the first time the pope has spoken favorably of civil unions. While he was the Archbishop of Buenos Aires in 2010 and Argentina was on the brink of legalizing gay marriage, then-Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio support legalizing civil unions as a compromise. He also called same-sex marriage "an attempt to destroy God's plan" and said gay adoption was a kind of discrimination against children. LGBT rights organizations and gay Catholics have hailed Francis' for making more positive statements on gay people during his papacy.
In the new Italian report, the pope also spoke of the church's teachings on contraception. The interviewer asked the pope if he thought teachings on medical and sexual ethics were "non-negotiable values," a phrase that Benedict XVI had used. Francis said he "never understood the expression 'non-negotiable values.'"
"Values are values, period," the pope said. "I cannot say that, among the fingers of a hand, there is one less useful than another. That is why I cannot understand in what sense there could be negotiable values."
But Francis had positive words for the church's 1968 encyclical "Humanae Vitae," which came out under Pope Paul VI and banned contraception in the church.
Francis said Paul's "genius was prophetic, he had the courage to side against the majority, defend moral discipline, put a brake on the culture, oppose neo-Malthusianism, present and future." But Paul had told Catholics to interpret the "Humanae Vitae" with "much mercy, attention to concrete situations," Francis said.
"The question is not whether to change the doctrine, but to go deeper and make sure that pastoral care takes account of situations and of what each person is able to do," the current pope added.
Aside from sexual and marriage issues, Francis also elaborated on his views of the church's response to sex abuse by priests and the broader public's image of his papacy thus far.
"The Catholic Church is perhaps the only public institution to have acted with transparency and responsibility. No-one else has done more," Francis said of sex abuse. "Yet the Church is the only one to have been attacked."
The pope, who has become somewhat of a celebrity icon during his short papacy for his statements on LGBT issues, church and pastoral humility and his media-friendly personality, added that he was not a fan of the "mythology" of him as more than human.
"To depict the pope as a sort of superman, a sort of star, seems offensive to me. The pope is a man who laughs, cries, sleeps tranquilly and has friends like everyone else, a normal person," he said.

Pope Francis Christianity Catholic Church Religion Pope Civil Unions
"Who Am I To Judge?"
In response to an interviewer's question in July 2013 about gay priests, Pope Francis responded, "Who am I to judge a gay person of goodwill who seeks the Lord?" The answer has become one of the pontiff's most famous statements.

Haaland sets scoring record in City's 3-1 win over Leeds
LEEDS, England (AP) — Erling Haaland set a Premier League scoring record in Manchester City's 3-1 win over Leeds on…
LEEDS, England (AP) — Erling Haaland set a Premier League scoring record in Manchester City's 3-1 win over Leeds on Wednesday.
At this pace, it won't be his last.
Haaland scored twice to become the fastest player to 20 goals. The Norwegian star, who was born in Leeds, reached the mark in 14 games.
Not a bad homecoming.
"For me, as a striker, I could have scored a couple more but that's life, what can I do? I have to practice more," Haaland told Amazon Prime.
City's victory at Elland Road reduced first-place Arsenal's lead to five points.
Rodri gave the visitors the lead on the stroke of halftime when he tucked in from close range after goalkeeper Illan Meslier parried a Riyad Mahrez shot.
Haaland doubled City's advantage six minutes into the second half after Jack Grealish pounced on a weak pass by Liam Cooper and raced clear to set up the Norwegian for a tap-in.
That was Haaland's 25th goal for City in 20 appearances in all competitions. He scored his 26th in the 64th minute to make it 3-0 after another assist from Grealish. He later missed out on a fourth hat trick of the season when he shot tamely at Meslier.
Leeds scored in the 73rd minute when Pascal Struijk headed home from a corner.
Haaland beat Kevin Phillips' quickest-to-20 goals record — set in 1999-20 with Sunderland — by seven games.
Haaland's father, Alf-Inge, was on hand to watch Wednesday.
"With my father in the (stands) over there, it's special," the 22-year-old Haaland said. "I am happy today, it's a really special moment in my career… It's my craziest fantasy that I could be at Elland Road and score for Manchester City against Leeds."

Razer Blade 14-Inch Gaming Notebook Review
by Dustin Sklavos on July 2, 2013 1:00 PM EST
GTX 700M
Introducing the Razer Blade 14-Inch In and Around the Razer Blade 14-Inch System and Futuremark Performance Gaming Performance Display, Battery, Noise, and Heat Conclusion: So Close, Yet So Far
In and Around the Razer Blade 14-Inch
As I mentioned previously, it's hard not to compare the Razer Blade 14-inch to Apple's MacBook Pro. That's not really a problem, though; I'm not an Apple user or an Apple fan, but it's hard to really argue that Apple's ID and general notebook quality have yet to find a good match in the Windows space. If you're going to crib from anyone's design playbook, that would probably be the one.
The Razer Blade 14-inch enjoys an aluminum chassis from head to toe. There are two slight ridges on the lid to give it class and character (and probably a tough of rigidity), and the Razer logo glows when the system is powered on. The body itself seems to be a unibody aluminum chassis, but what I'd like to draw attention to is the internal design.
Source: Razer Blade website.
There's some incredibly smart engineering at work here to get the system this thin, but there are compromises made, too. Razer employs a pair of small fans that intake air from the bottom and exhaust it through heatsink arrays hidden in the hinge. The result is a chassis with virtually no visible ventilation yet still has actual cooling potential.
A look at the bottom of the notebook reveals exactly that. Two ventilated intakes for the fans, no visible exhausts. The tradeoff with this design is a tremendous amount of heat above the keyboard. Razer does a fantastic job of managing noise, but the panel of aluminum above the keyboard, where the power button is, gets extremely hot and unpleasant to the touch.
With the chiclet keycap design this radiant heat won't be a major issue during prolonged gaming sessions, but it's something to be aware of. The internal thermal design means the palm rests never get too warm, though; it's all actually pretty slick.
Users who aren't enamored with Razer's Switchblade panel in the larger Blade Pro unit will be overjoyed to see a spacious touchpad complete with two dedicated mouse buttons. As for the keyboard itself, it's plenty comfortable, though for some bizarre reason I found myself frequently fat-fingering it despite a lack of actual fat fingers. I suspect this problem will be unique to me and maybe a couple of other users; the keyboard still has plenty of travel and depth and it's tough to find any real fault with. In fact my only real complaint is the lack of any indication that the document navigation keys are mapped to Fn combinations with the arrows. That's a sacrifice made for the sake of ID, though, and I have a hard time complaining too much.
Gallery: Razer Blade 14-Inch
For the past two Razer Blade reviews, it was easy for me to sit back and quibble with Vivek's enthusiasm over the industrial design of the Blades at the expense of the notebook's actual practicality. Yet with the 14-inch Blade, it's hard not to see his point. Even if Razer has essentialy created the RazerBook Pro, they still cribbed from the right playbook. The Blade is for anyone who wanted the MacBook Pro in black (which does go with everything), and it's for anyone who has gotten more than a little tired of ostentatious, gaudy gaming notebook designs. It's a shot fired across the bow of vendors like Alienware, stating in no uncertain terms that you can have a powerful, performance gaming notebook in a sleeker form factor. The Blade's ID feels like gaming for grown-ups.

ROFLMAO! Thanks, Jarred. You just made my morning. :D
phoenixangel - Tuesday, July 30, 2013 - link
hey guys don't worry about what just a few people say, me and most of my friends treat your reviews with great respect and appreciate your efforts. In fact we have gone through tons of review websites with heavy bias so much so we ditched them one by one, and we're left with yours :)
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, July 3, 2013 - link
The problem with a lot of manufacturers is they don't get how much advertising even a mediocre review on a well-respected site like Anandtech gives them, and they don't provide sites with their hardware so they can review them. This isn't really Anandtech's fault, it's Lenovo's.
EVERY major hardware review site gets the stuff they review from someone who sent it to them, almost always the company that made it. Very few can actually afford to buy hardware themselves, and those sites that can (Tomshardware, for example), don't.
And, seriously, implying that Anandtech is in any way beholden to those that provide the site with hardware is ludicrous. Dustin reams Razer a new hole over the screen provided with this laptop (rightly so), and he wouldn't do that if he was just being their "mouthpiece".
xTRICKYxx - Thursday, July 4, 2013 - link
When the Y580 came out, I convinced 2 of my friends to get it. It was $1000 for a 3 year warranty, 1080P display, 8GB Ram, i7-3630QM, GTX 660M, and pretty decent battery. Lenovo hit a home run with that laptop and they sold a lot of them I'm sure.
PNN - Tuesday, July 2, 2013 - link
Y500's build quality is atrocious. Its nice and fast, but it feels like a cheap netbook.
lordbannon - Tuesday, July 2, 2013 - link
I picked up one of the y500s a month ago - right after the bump to 750s. Haven't been disappointed in it thus far for the price. Wish it had better battery life, but since it's main purpose it to let me play games from the hotel I can't complain. I do agree that it seems every windows laptop is missing just one bit keeping it from being awesome.
Flunk - Tuesday, July 2, 2013 - link
With this you're paying for a lot of things size, weight, performance, build quality so its not really a fair comparison. If you really want everything it's going to cost you. The Y500 has terrible battery life, SLI instead of a single card, is heavier and suffers from middling build quality. If you want a good value, yes they Y500 is better value but if you simply must have everything the Blade doesn't really have any competition.
Flying Goat - Wednesday, July 3, 2013 - link
The big difference is form factor - the y500 weighs 50% more. Not many choices if you want a high end notebook under 6 pounds, and this weighs a mere 4.1 pounds. Only other such laptop I'm aware of is the 15" Asus 51vz, which doesn't have as powerful a GPU (But does have a comparable price). Thinking I may get a 51vz, myself, since I prefer the larger screen. Otherwise, I'd seriously be considering a Razer Blade.
blanarahul - Tuesday, July 2, 2013 - link
I think Apple pays each and every Windows OEM to make the best possible laptops and fuck one aspect of the hardware, so that they always build a flawed notebook.
madmilk - Tuesday, July 2, 2013 - link
Indeed. There are so few ultrabooks that can match the 15" rMBP (Asus UX51Vz comes to mind), and this could've been one of them. With that screen though (200:1, seriously?), it's practically in junk territory.
