Commodity Accounting Softwar

A void to be filled

Carla Raffaeli

Ostra is, by tradition, a country rich in history and culture. And even today, especially on the initiative of several local associations, you can enjoy during the year of a comprehensive program of recreational and cultural season in drama, Ostra Estate, and more. And generally the amount not be at the expense of quality.

If this positive views you can find a weakness, it is not represented by ' offer, but rather from participation and enjoyment of the initiatives on the part of a public that does not always reward the efforts of organizers .

There is one question, however, that this paper has repeatedly reported, quite anomalous with respect to a framework of cultural value: more than eight years, the public library is always closed and there is no museum in the city and the territory.

has now established the idea that a m Useo should not be a collection parchment of art objects and artifacts of the past. Already exist and are usable in many cities, however small, suggestive reinterpretations and reinventions size of the place in a museum open, distributed, multimedia , modern. It is not just a problem of formal organization and communication ; important is the subject, the content of culture, art, local history that we want to collect, organize, highlight. And if the noble palaces and churches are already precious containers of artwork and furnishings, there is a wealth of material and popular culture, such as that relating to farming and handicraft which could be lost irretrievably . And if the great architectural works , opened and made accessible to all, are capable of telling the past and create taste, sensibility, intelligence in this, that same story remains partial, incomplete without the representation and narrative of the work material that has concretely realized.

One example is the collection of artifacts, tools, a craftsman who designs Ostrense , Mario Verzolini , has put together over a hundred stories of the families of craftsmen who have given fame and prestige to our city. And it is enough to refer the question that most often I have heard: "What will become of all this?".

I believe that our "museum" should be born of a great idea that embraces past, present and future and start moving even small steps at a time, putting together concretely what associations, families and individuals can offer. No "expert titled" alone will draw the path of this "story".

The closure of Bibilioteca City for more than eight years is a very serious. After believing the ads to be opened shortly and having found the other hand, even recently, the state of absolute precariousness of facilities and furnishings, one can not speak of "suspension of public services". Of course it is a cultural service, but no less important for other services, when you consider the objective of promoting a reading culture, as well as knowledge. I am convinced that the suspension is created by the best intentions to redevelop the service, but it is not justifiable that, over many years, certainly marked by difficulties have been provided to equip at least one public reading room , at least provisionally.

What is going to do about the new Administration ? About a year and a half from the his settlement, during which will investigate the problem and has a project that may be small, to be offered to citizens and the short term?.

I make a proposal that can be realized as an initiative provisional until the following day: every family Ostrense presents a book to the library, that ' Administration will make available of citizens in a public hall.

The local associations will not fail to give their collaboration .

What To Say On A Get Well Carf

The Stability

Stefano Blacks

In the latter period, they are discussing a lot of the Stability Pact in an important way that affects the ability for administrators local authorities to pursue their chosen political / administrative.
Based on my knowledge, I try to explain to readers what the Stability Pact and how it works.
The deal has its origins from the need to ensure a balance of public finances of the various states acceding to the European Union (Stability and Growth Pact). To achieve this balance, in Italy, for several years, the state has involved the regions and local authorities giving them specific goals through the Internal Stability Pact.
This is a method of calculation which, fished out some financial information, brings together the balance between revenue and expenditure, current expenditure, accounted for on an accruals basis, and the balance of investment spending accounted for using the principle of case, ie payments and receipts of the year. On the final calculation must be a net positive financial year for a predetermined amount and gradually increasing. This method of calculation does not consider revenue from recruitment mortgages and related outputs for repayment of loans.
In essence, as regards capital expenditure, including public works, for the purpose of calculating compliance with the Stability Pact, the countable income consist only of:
- capital revenue (such as the burden of 'urbanization)
- capital grants in respect of works to be carried on (government grants)
- revenue from sales of property that was the capital city
It' easy to imagine that if even a few years ago, for the creation of a ' public work, you could use public power for a mortgage, the exclusion of entry resulting from that mortgage from the mechanism calculation determines now almost impossible to invest in public works without breaking the stability pact (and suffer the serious consequences associated with it), unless you have high capital revenue (infrastructure costs), which s 'starts to divest public assets of the institution in favor of new works or the work is largely funded by government grants.
As for capital expenditure to be calculated with the principle of "cash" (ie income and expenditure actually registered in the year), in the past, some local administrators have tried to overcome this obstacle by providing equally construction of the works certainly necessary, and sending back the following year most of the payments relating to that work, pending the identification of additional revenue (excluding mortgages) that, for the purpose of compliance with the Stability Pact, could then allow time for the deferred payments.
In our town, from what has resulted from a recent statement by the Councillor for the Budget - Barigelli, published in the press, it seems that in recent years, to be able to respect the Stability Pact, has been just that. It speaks, in fact, moving to subsequent years of payments for about 660 000 € for the restructuring of the school "Crocioni.
A good way to respect the stability pact, without creating these problems in the future, that sooner or later would come to a head, it was rather to provide a positive balance in the current budget, through a substantial reduction in current expenditure. That surplus, he could contribute, for the purposes of calculation, to the goal set by the Stability Pact, without having to defer payments due.
From this point of view, unfortunately, in recent years, has not made this choice, indeed, thanks to higher revenues from infrastructure costs due to the boom (more than three million euro over the years) current expenditure have always traveled at a rate far too high and have been used several times to the use of part of the proceeds from the infrastructure costs to cover these costs.
Now, reading the 2010 budget of our municipality, there is a change of direction and a rebalancing of the current part of the budget but it is now clear that, pursuant to reducing current expenditure, is now scraping the bottom of the barrel.
To make matters worse is the recent maneuver occurred last July, in order to counter the growing public debt, substantially reduced transfers rule in favor of regions, provinces and municipalities (in revenue will have to pay additional reductions in current expenditure in addition to those already made, if you want to keep the balance on current account).
Local administrators, to any political party they belong to, are all agreed that both the latest maneuver in July untenable for the budgets of local governments and announced the inevitable cuts in services.
The same administrators are calling for a revision of the mechanism for calculating the stability pact, as conceived, is severely limiting investment in public works by local authorities. A recent conference organized by the Province of Macerata, it was found that would be more than 90 million € in 2009 the resources of local brands (excluding municipalities with fewer of 5000 inhabitants, outside the stability pact) have not invested in public works or goods and services.
At the same conference also emphasized the need by local government, they can count on stable resources over the long term, to allow a program of medium-and long-term investment.
At present, as the Councillor Barigelli also reported in a recent press article, you know the cuts made last July while maneuvering is not yet known the extent of revenue for 2011 resulting from the implementation of federalism tax, at least in part, should compensate for these cuts. It is believed that these
information should be known by citizens Ostrense make it clear to all that, unfortunately, we have entered a period of "lean." We must all make sacrifices and, most likely, we will waive the time for carrying out certain public works waiting for best times that I hope will come in the not too long.

Artificial Sweetener Withdrawals

Choices shared for public works in the ghetto

The article by Stephen Blacks suggests some considerations . share, more than likely due to the reduction of transfers from the state to local authorities, the prudence with which the Councillor intends to deal with budget the costs, including those destined for public works. remember those assumed by the Government Olivetti: 1) restoration of the works of urbanization Riviera noon and Via del Teatro, 2) surface, artificial grass athletic field covered Via Giovanni XXII, 3) work to the final round temporarily built at the Village Casine , while we have said no to implementation of the new gymnasium at the elementary schools of the city center, on the contrary, advocated by the current minority, because - with the majority - there is a might lack in the coming years, sufficient financial resources to pay the mortgage payments, despite a partial coverage (15%) provided by a private credit institution.

The three-year plan of public works, presented to City Council a few months ago, he found the place construction at the site of the former furnace, at a nursery school serving the villages Casine and tiles. 'S intervention was provided at a cost of € 900 000. Certainly quite insufficient .

We believe the most logical to use this money for an operation on the central pavilion (former asylum nite) of the elementary school " Crocioni " because, while confirming the total inadequacy school of maternal Casine , this intervention seems most urgent.

Today, the new gym, said he was not. Hopefully, though, which is not a final decision. Why the day when you could find the money to build it, he would have made a "small campus elementary school. course would also be necessary at this fundamental point about the plight of all our schools, without exception, find a point c onvergenza between majority and minority, to avoid the risk that what you are doing today is canceled tomorrow.

And also not to run another risk, which, at the end of five years, one can find in front of two unfinished: the nursery and that, more and more chronic and unsustainable , the elementary school.
