Source: Valley Morning Star, Harlingen, TexasSept.迷你倉最平 28--SAN BENITO -- Hundreds of San Benito residents received code enforcement violation notices in the mail this week as the city tries to keep tall grass and weeds under control.Three weeks of rain triggered a mosquito population explosion, and now the city has many yards with a lot of tall grass.The San Benito Code Enforcement Office has been contacting home owners and businesses to mow and trim grass in their yards and nearby alleys, officials said.Code enforcement is mowing grass on city property, they said."It keeps away the mosquitoes, insects, bugs," code enforcement officer George Machuca said. "It cuts down on the possibility of having possums, rodents and snakes in residential and commercial areas. Our main concern, of course, is going to be the health and safety of the citizens here."Officials said they sent the letters to property owners, managers or renters notifying them that they have 10 days to comply with a city ordinance, which states that grass should not be allowed to grow taller than 12 inches.If the property owner fails to comply with the notice, then "the City reserves the right to correct the violation(s) and assess you a fee," the letter states.Recent rains have led to an overgrowth of grass and weeds around the city,儲存and officials said anyone who received a letter should know it is not necessarily an isolated incident."Just this week in itself we sent out anywhere between 75 and 100 (letters) a day," Machuca said. "We have done anywhere from 500 to almost 1,000 within this past week. Normally we see more when we get rains that come in. On average we have anywhere between five and 10 throughout a day."Machuca added that code enforcement officers are available to provide assistance in mitigating issues and concerns on a case-by-case basis."We have a lot of elderly people, and that makes it really hard because their son or daughter can be out of town or they don't live here. We try to work with them," Machuca said about residents who are unable to maintain their own lawns."Our idea is just to make sure we get San Benito to look nicer and cleaner for the community. We are here; our doors are always open. We are just a phone call away."Officials said people who receive the letter can contact the Code Enforcement Office at 956-361-3804, and code enforcement officers will work to address any specific concerns.jmendoza@valleystar.comCopyright: ___ (c)2013 Valley Morning Star (Harlingen, Texas) Visit Valley Morning Star (Harlingen, Texas) at .valleymorningstar.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesmini storage

By CHEN NAN chennan@chinadaily.mini storagecom.cn For Suede’s Chinese fans, the leg- endary band is the symbol of their youth, as it was one of the i rst West- ern bands to inl uence China’s music lovers. Despite the band’s long hia- tus, its legacy carries on with time- less songs such as So Young. It was played throughout the movie with the same English title by Chinese actress- turned-director Zhao Wei, which was released in April this year.In Suede’s upcoming tour in China, which will kick of in Hong Kong on Sept 29 and conclude in Beijing on Oct 5, the song will be performed along with the band’s other classic hits.For the band’s front man, Brett Anderson, singing those songs never feels repetitive.“It never feels like I’m pretending or playing a part. It feels totally contem- porary and valid and worthwhile,” he said in an interview with China Daily ahead of the China tour.So Young is the fourth and i nal sin- gle from the debut album by Suede, released in 1993. The 45-year-old singer-songwriter says that it’s great to see how other people feel about old Suede tracks and to see that they still speak to young people in the same way that they did in 1992.“It’s a real honor that those songs still have a worth to people and par- ticularly so many people as a film such as So Young reaches,” he says.“h e fact that it happens across a lan- guage barrier makes it all the more special.”It will be the band’s third trip to China. h eir i rst show in China took place in Beijing, months before their split in 2003, which was a frenzy.Their last visit was in 2011, a year after their reunion, which saw the band’s lingering appeal among their faithful Chinese fans.“It gave China the best part of a decade to study the back catalogue,”Anderson says.Formed in 1989, Suede was described as “the best new band in Britain” in 1992. Before tha儲存 turning point, they had played to empty pub back rooms in London for two years.Anderson says that “gave us time and space to be ourselves and to work out what we were doing that could be better. So we got better. A lot better”.“We were singing songs about everyday British life and all its gro- tesqueness and ridiculousness that people could relate to. Before the whole Britpop thing went somewheremore flippant and patronizing. By 1991 we had really hit our stride musically,” he adds.With their glorious tunes and romantic lyrics, they soon became chart-toppers and best-sellers. In 1996, at er recruiting Richard Oakes and keyboard player Neil Codling, Suede went on to greater commercial success with the album Coming Up.“We’d been through the departure of Bernard and rebuilt the band. Rich- ard and I were feeling coni dent in our new songwriting partnership, Neil was onboard and chipping in with some really good material and we just felt like a gang again. It was fun, really. And you can hear that. It was the easiest album I’ve ever made,”Anderson recalls.However, the band split at er the commercial l op of A New Morning in 2002.Even when they performedtogether in 2010, they had no inten- tion of doing anything beyond the show at h e Royal Albert Hall.“We performed together again because we were asked to for a noble cause and it felt like it might be fun and valid,” says Anderson.But that whole night showed them that people missed them and made them think that they might still have something to give. h en they played more gigs, which still felt good.“If it had felt like we were over- staying our welcome at any point or that it wasn’t special, we would have stopped right there. But it has all felt very, very natural and right,” he says.PROVIDED TO CHINA DA Suede’s lead singer Brett Anderson performs in Chengdu in 2012.迷你倉

A NEW campus of the Shanghai University of the Elderly opened yesterday, aiming to bridge the technology gap between young and old.迷你倉Located in the Shanghai Science and Technology Art Education Center on Zhongshan Road W., it offers training in tablets, digital cameras, smart TVs and even games consoles to help seniors adopt the digital life.While the university has offered courses in computers before, organizers see a need for training in smartphones, tablets and other everyday digital devices that can be daunting to some older people.About 60 people aged between 50 and 80 years old have signed up.Among those is Bao Aiyi, 62, who said she&rsq自存倉o;s attending so that she can communicate more easily with her son and daughter, who don’t live nearby.“The children have busy work schedules and don’t have time to visit.

Source: The Philadelphia InquirerSept.迷你倉最平 27--Camden County College math professor Lester Owens thought technology would solve many of education's problems, but many of his students wanted facetime, not FaceTime.With a master's degree in instructional technology, he had designed a website with practice problems, created video lessons he could send to students' phones, and integrated clickers into his classes to instantly poll students. He's available for online videoconferencing every Sunday at 9 p.m."But then you find out a lot of students -- and I'm in the Camden area -- didn't have that technology that we all think they have," Owens said. "Just because you have a computer doesn't mean you have Internet access, and when you have a phone, it doesn't mean you have a smartphone."And even some students with the latest gizmos found that the shiny screens and 4G networks were no match for a human touch.So instead of being a frontline advocate for technologies being heralded today as educational solutions, Owens is standing solidly on middle ground."Over time you realize that technology has its place as a supplement," said Owens, 66, of Gloucester Township.He officially teaches six Elementary Algebra classes at the college: two online, two during the day in Camden, and two evening classes on the school's main Blackwood campus in Gloucester Township.On his own time, Owens dedicates Saturday afternoons to small-group tutoring at the Ferry Avenue library in Camden's Centerville neighborhood and at the Voorhees library.In-person tutoring is everything iPad-assisted learning isn't: slow and time-consuming, intimate, hard to scale in size.It is also, Owens said, exactly what many of his students needed."Access does not necessarily mean success. And success is only individual, learning is behavioral, education is a behavioral science, so we have to deal with the individual," Owens said.Which is what the college is hoping to do.The Department of Education on Thursday announced a list of 39 recipients for federal grants aimed at improving education at colleges and universities. Camden County College is the state's only recipient, set to receive $386,452, its first year of the three-year grant."We based our proposal really on student support on the individual support level," said Margaret Hamilton, the college's vice president of academic affairs. "It's not rocket science that people are unique, learners are unique, and we really need to teach them where they are."Owens' work serves as one example -- "He's his own little research experiment" -- for how the school can expand its personalized learning, Hamilton said.The way classes are structured, Owens said, many of his algebra students can and do sit through class,儲存learn the material, and go home and get the work done.Others find that difficult.Tutoring bridges that gap, Owens said. Some simply think differently -- "because of that personal attention, they get a chance to use their imagination and use the way they think." For others, each step is a struggle: How will they get to class when they are facing financial difficulty? How will they find time for homework while taking care of children? How will they think about class while also working full-time?"You have to rethink how, when, and where learning's taking place," Owens said. "We really want to meet their needs, instead of them meeting what we say is needed from my class."That accessibility has won over Sherise Payton, one of Owens' students this semester. But it's not her first go-round at Camden County College: Payton, 41, of Gloucester Township, also started the algebra class at the college right out of high school.Frustrated by the professor's lack of clarity, she said, Payton ended up dropping the class.This time, she not only attends the evening classes at the Blackwood campus, she each week attends the Voorhees tutoring sessions.And she does so happily: "I just enjoy going, I enjoy the lesson, I enjoy getting the information," she said.Last week, Deidre Gray, an English as a Second Language adjunct at the college, joined Owens in community tutoring sessions. She has agreed to help students with reading and writing skills, to complement Owens' math instruction, which he has done in some form since 1993 and formalized into a regular schedule for the past three years.The ultimate goal, they said, is to have an army of professors dedicating time to direct instruction with students."We may be from old school, but education is a human interaction," said Gray, 64, of Pine Hill. "It's people, people learning and students who have a willingness to learn, and interact, and gain respect in knowing the necessity of what they're learning, the knowledge they're gaining.""That's why I think face-to-face is still very important, but I'm not trashing technology. It has its place," Gray said.And for students like Payton, who are more comfortable with direct instruction, technology's role should be minimized, Owens argued. In Payton's case, Owens' approach has opened up a new area of interest."I'm not comfortable doing classes online, I'd rather see the person face-to-face so I can ask questions and be more engaged," Payton said. "Having this class even makes me want to go further. It really gives me excitement about what's to come."jlai@phillynews.com856-779-3220@elaijuhCopyright: ___ (c)2013 The Philadelphia Inquirer Visit The Philadelphia Inquirer at .philly.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesmini storage

Source: Standard-Examiner, Ogden, UtahSept.mini storage 27--Call it the curse -- or blessing -- of the Halloween spirits.When a legend as mysterious and spooky as Kay's Cross flourishes right under your nose, how can you not use that tale as the basis for a new haunted attraction?That's the fodder Jared Peterson is working with at this season's Haunted Kays Cross, now open at 388 Boynton Road, in Kaysville."All the locals know Kay's Cross really well; a lot of them claim they've seen things up here and stuff," says Peterson, who admits he hasn't witnessed any otherworldly occurrences -- yet.Kay's Cross was a large stone cross, about 20 feet tall, built on a site in Kaysville. Exactly when and why it was created is unknown, although the rumors run the gamut, from claims the monument was constructed in honor of a deceased wife to theories that it may have been erected by polygamists.The cross was blown up in February of 1992, after being packed with explosives. Just who masterminded the explosion or why the landmark was destroyed is also a mystery.Even though the remains of the cross are located on private property, Peterson says the site is still visited frequently by curiosity seekers."It's so hard to keep them off; (now) we'll make them pay to come on," says the owner of Peterson Entertainment, which is renting the property for the Halloween event.Haunted Kays Cross, which opened Sept. 13, includes a path to and from the cross that's a quarter-mile long each way, and filled with plenty of special effects and 3-D images."Along the way, you're going to get scared," says Peterson, a Woods Cross resident.Visitors also spend some time at the ruins of the cross, where Peterson says there may be seance-like activities or other strange goings-on. Keep on the lookout for a ghostly woman in a white dress -- a person some claim to have seen at the site -- or a man wearing a cape, another reported apparition.After walking the trail, there is also a different sort of corn maze, made of fences decorated with cornstalks.Part of the appeal of Haunted Kays Cross is its naturally wooded outdoor setting, Peterson says."I wouldn't be surprised if you saw deer and foxes and stuff," he says. "The deer come pretty close because they're used to people being around."Peterson, who manages a vending company, says Halloween isn't a huge obsession for him, but he was intrigued by this type of attraction."I just like the myths and the legends, so I just thought it would be interesting to try something like this out," he says. He adds, "No one really knows how it got there -- everyone has their own story."And part of the fun of Haunted Kays Cross is collecting stories from area residents about experiences they have had at the site. Folks may submit their stories on the venue's website and some of them may be published there.As Peterson explains, "A lot of people tell their own tale of terror."Contact reporter Becky Cairns at 801-625-4276 or bcairns@standard.net.

What might visitors find inside?"That's a surprise -- they have to come," says owner and operator Ken Smoot, whose corn maze and haunted trail are opening for the season today, Friday, Sept. 27.However, whatever's inside that shack just might have something to do with an old legend about Union Army officers getting lost in a swampy bog in these parts more than 100 years ago and never being seen again.The legend is the basis of Corn Creepers and provides a good excuse for visitors to let their imaginations run wild, says Smoot, of Garland.Although the corn maze at this site is "lightly" haunted, Smoot adds, "The trail is where the real haunting takes place ... that's where we try to spook them."Set in the woods, at the edge of a swamp, the Brigham City attraction is full of authentic outdoor sounds from frogs, crickets and raccoons. "There's no piped-in sound," Smoot says, except at the entrance to the venue at 1900 N. 2800 West.A new addition this year is a race maze, where children -- or adults -- can try their luck at timed runs through a special maze. The races will be on Friday and Saturday nights; prizes will be awarded.Smoot says he's sometimes heard complaints about kids running through the corn maze and bumping into folks, so now, they can "flat-out run ... and not have to worry about running into families and whatnot."* Hours: 6-10:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Sept. 27-Oct. 28, with hauntings beginning at dark.

U.S. 89-91, Wellsville.This year's 7-acre corn maze is carved in the shape of a team of draft horses, in tribute to the horses and mules who work at the center demonstrating the use of old-time farming equipment, Getz says.Another challenge is the blackout maze, which Getz says "takes away a sense -- you've got to find out how to get out by feeling your way."Other activities during Fall Harvest Days include a spider-web rope climb, giant slide, tomahawk throwing, pony and train rides, and a gourd launcher (while the gourds last.)A popular favorite is the hay jump, a large pit filled with fluffy hay.* Hours: Fall Harvest Days is 1-10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 1-11 p.m. Fridays and 10 a.m.-11 p.m. Saturdays, Sept. 27-Oct. 31.

Fruitland Drive has also been changed, Barker says, and new animatronics have been added in the haunted tunnel."There's a witch and as you go by she'll cast spells on you," Barker says. "We've got an electric chair in there with a person being electrocuted."Visitors even get the chance to touch some wire near the chair to get "a little tiny bit of a zap," he says.The really scary stuff happens only at night; by day, there are nonscary activities for younger children, like feeding the fish or selecting a free pumpkin.This year's corn maze features an entirely natural design, created by a small resident herd of deer, Barker says. "They eat (out) the maze; we just cleared the path and made the trails wider."* Hours: Dusk-9:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday and dusk-10:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Sept. 27-Oct. 30.

"Come experience a little bit of time out in the open field."Pack says he plants several varieties of orange pumpkins on his farm, which opens Saturday, Sept. 28, as well as white pumpkins and mini pumpkins.One interesting variety is a flat-shaped, deep-ribbed orange pumpkin dubbed the "Cinderella" pumpkin because its appearance bears a resemblance to the princess' famous coach.This summer's hot weather may have adversely affected pumpkin production, Pack says, since pumpkins don't thrive in the heat. But he won't know just how well his crop did until the first frost withers the vines and the pumpkins are more visible.Another activity at Pack's Pumpkin Patch, 1700 W.

Source: Albuquerque Journal, N.自存倉M.Sept. 27--When the New Mexico Lobos inked a deal to hit the road to play a game in December against perennial college basketball power Kansas, there wasn't much question it was going to draw plenty of fan interest in Albuquerque.When UNM saw just how many of its boosters in the Lobo Club were lining up for tickets, it decided to do something it hadn't done in the past.UNM will charter a flight for the team's travel party and fans to Kansas City, Mo., for the Dec. 14 game being played in the Sprint Center. The Jay-hawks play one game there each season in a game dubbed the Kansas City Shootout instead of at the usual home confines of Phog Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kan."Obviously it's an attractive national game," Tim Cass, UNM deputy athletic director, said. "We thought it would be interesting to put together a donor support trip."The trip, offered initially to top-level Lobo Club donors for between $875 and $925 per person for game ticket, airfare, ground transportation and a hotel room, sold out almost immediately, Cass said.Technically, UNM is chartering only a Southwest Airlines flight back from Kansas City, and the flight there is a regularly scheduled Southwest flight out of Albuquerque's Sunport in which UNM was able to book all 137 seats. Cass said the cost of the flight out and charter back is "approximately $65,000," which will more than be covered by the 110 Lobo Club members who have purchased the travel package. Also attending will be the standard team travel party in the 24-27 range.The additional revenue stream to cover travel expenses for the team will also come in handy considering the $90,000 Kansas is paying UNM to play in the game has already been earmarked to partially cover the Lobos' August trip to Australia (as is the $35,000 UNM is receiving to play Marquette in Las Vegas, Nev., on Dec. 21).In addition to the normal allotment of about 40-50 tickets UNM receives for most road games, Kansas also made available to the school 200 tickets for fan purchase through UNM for $92 apiece (by contrast, UNM tickets in the Pit range from $19 to $37). Of those, 110 tickets are already accounted for as part of the donor chartered trip and the remaining 90 tickets will likely be accounted for by Lobo Club members on mini storage waiting list for the tickets who were not able to join the charter but still plan to attend the game and travel on their own.Other general admission tickets must be purchased through the Sprint Center's website or through the University of Kansas.Cass said he is unaware of a previous chartered flight, especially to this scale of more than 100 seats, for donors in the past at UNM and certainly not in his eight years in an administrative role.Kansas went 31-6 last season, losing to eventual NCAA championship finalist Michigan in the Sweet 16. The Jay-hawks this offseason landed the sports' most coveted recruit in 6-foot-8 guard/forward Andrew Wiggins, who some have said could have been the No. 1 pick in June's NBA draft if he had been eligible.RECRUITING BUZZ: The UNM coaching staff hasn't let off the gas on the recruiting trail with the beginning of the season on them.While coaches were all over the country this week visiting prospective recruits, several possible future Lobos are making their way to Albuquerque in the coming weeks.Justin Simon, a 6-foot-4, 180-pound shooting guard from Temecula (Calif.) Valley High School, is making an unofficial visit (paid for by Simon, not UNM) to the UNM campus this weekend.Joe Furstinger, a 6-foot-8 forward from Rancho Santa Margarita (Calif.) Catholic School, will make an official visit Oct. 4. Furstinger plays for coach Jeff Reinert, who played for UNM for two seasons (1980-82).Zylan Cheatham, a top-100 rated player from Phoenix is visiting UNM on an official trip Oct. 18, the night of the nationally televised Lobo Howl.

本報記者 尹 婕10月1日，mini storage醞釀30多年、歷經3次審議的綜合性法律——《中華人民共和國旅遊法》將正式實施。《旅遊法》共分10章、112條，內容涵蓋旅遊者、旅遊規劃、旅遊經營、旅遊服務合同、旅遊安全、旅遊監督管理、旅遊糾紛處理等方面中國，亞洲最大的出境游市場，世界最大的國內游市場，名副其實的旅遊大國。即將實施的首部《旅遊法》，對旅遊者、旅遊企業乃至整個旅遊業發展，無疑都將產生深遠影響。保護旅遊者權益《旅遊法》自草案面向社會公開征集意見以來，就吸引了廣泛關注。《旅遊法》中專設“旅遊者”一章，將保護旅遊者合法權益作為全法的主線，通過自主選擇權、知悉真情權、要求嚴格履行權、受尊重權、救助保護請求權以及特殊群體獲得便利優惠權等6項權利，落實對旅遊者的保護。北京第二外國語學院韓玉靈教授介紹，在《旅遊法》起草過程中，專家們研究了《最新境外旅遊法律彙編》中收錄的旅遊業較為發達、旅遊立法具有代表性的30個國家和地區的旅遊法律、法規。“進入21世紀以來，各國在立法或者修改法律中，對於旅遊者的規定呈增加態勢。”韓玉靈說，多國都將旅遊業的發展提高到為國民創造幸福生活環境、滿足國民日益增長的需要的高度。最終，“在維護權益總體平衡的基礎上，更加突出以旅遊者為本”被確立為我國《旅遊法》的基本原則。此外，《旅遊法》在規範市場、經營行為、從業資格等方面都體現了對旅遊者權益的保護。“對旅遊者而言，將真正進入旅遊的黃金期。”海南省旅遊發展研究會會長王健生說。劍指行業亂象《旅遊法》向強迫購物、欺客宰客、零負團費等行業亂象“亮劍”，規定“旅行社不得以不合理的低價組織旅遊活動，誘騙旅遊者，並通過安排購物或者另行付費旅遊項目獲取回扣等不正當利益”，“不得指定具體消費場所，不得安排另行付費旅遊項迷你倉”。《旅遊法》正式實施恰逢“十一”黃金周。連日來，國慶游線路報價“漲聲一片”。以東南亞旅遊產品為例，旅行社承諾“無購物、無自費、無消費”，價格較去年“十一”相比上漲了20%—40%。對此，中青旅控股股份有限公司市場推廣部總經理葛磊表示，此番漲價體現了旅遊行業價格從非理性向理性的回歸。“旅遊行業長期存在不規範的運作現象，尤其在一些缺乏法律監管的方面，消費者的權益比較容易受到侵犯，《旅遊法》杜絕了違規操作的可能性。”葛磊認為，價格的回歸將引導遊客更關注產品的服務價值，敦促旅行社增強產品的研發能力和服務能力。在採訪中，多家旅行社表示，在《旅遊法》實施之後，旅行社將不再通過購物和自費項目來彌補出游報價。《旅遊法》對規範行業的競爭秩序、增強服務能力、提升消費者旅遊體驗和滿意度有重要意義。旅遊規劃入法旅遊規劃入法成為《旅遊法》的亮點之一。中國旅遊研究院學術委員會主任委員魏小安說，據測未來5年中國旅遊投資總量將達到5萬億元。“這就更加需要旅遊規劃的指導和推進，旅遊規劃將成為發展的龍頭。”《旅遊法》中專設“旅遊規劃和促進”一章，明確規定了旅遊發展規劃的編制主體、規劃內容、規劃原則等方面的要求，作出三個層次的規定：第一，國務院和縣級以上地方人民政府應將旅遊業發展納入國民經濟和社會發展規劃；第二，旅遊資源集中的地區要做專項規劃；第三，旅遊發展規劃應當與土地利用總體規劃、城鄉規劃、環境保護規劃、文物保護規劃等相銜接。北京大學旅遊研究與規劃中心主任吳必虎對記者表示，由於旅遊規劃涉及的部門很多，更加需要協調，更需要法律的支持。“通過這三個層次的規定，旅遊規劃的法定地位得以確立。”此外，旅遊規劃入法，強調有序開發、規範資源利用，將促使各地在旅遊發展中，減少盲目性，避免投資衝動。文件倉
