Today on the blog we have a guest post from Multi-site Venue Manager Steve Shooter. One of the School's he Venue Manages is Ingleby Manor School. Have a read to find out a day can sometimes look like…
Tuesday at Ingleby Manor School really started on Monday for us. Tuesday brings a conference for a large number of Teesside charities to the school. Venue Supervisor Mick and I agreed to meet the organisers Monday afternoon for a run through of the days events, trouble shooting meeting and final prep.
The requirements for this conference were pretty specific, we needed a large hall for the welcome and various presentations, we needed a screen, projector and microphone setup in the same room, we also needed a large space for setup of market stalls/booths and an area for light refreshments. So far so good, we then also needed a couple of classrooms with A/V capabilities for smaller group sessions. Again, not a problem. Ingleby Manor School has great facilities like that.
We sorted out the logistics, worked out the right microphone, tested all the tech and then the real work began. Mick and I moved around fifty tables, a couple of hundred chairs and then moved them again when we thought of a better option.
Tuesday began when we opened up the school buildings at 7.30am, before the organisers arrived at 8am, and then delegates started arriving shortly after. We find that making an event run smoothly is all in the preparation, because Mick and I had prepped for the event, we were able to really just supervise in the morning as the charities set up their booths. Our preparations meant the organisers could relax and coordinate their people, rather than worrying about moving tables and chairs around.
The day carries on, and Mick checks the toilets, topping up the loo roll and hand towels while I change a couple of bins, popping the rubbish into the right bins, ensuring the recycling protocols of the school are carried out.
I stop for a chat with a few attendees about the facilities at the school, including a Circus Skills group, a couple of ladies who need an indoor football pitch and a couple who attend regular meetings in a local building which isn't big enough. All about networking…
Lunchtime comes and the local caterer brings in the platters, quite the spread, but we haven't planned enough space, into the storage we go for a couple of extra shelves, bingo, we have room for the vegan platters.
While the afternoon sessions take place, we again check on the toilets and start the clear up process. Rubbish into bins, tables and chairs back in place, spot of hoovering, floors mopped and leftovers into containers for the local drop in centre.
Once we wrap up, we do the final clean up, empty all the bins, wipe down the tables and spring clean the toilets. This leaves the school ready for use tomorrow. A final sweep of the building, checking all the doors and windows, and Mick and I head for home, and a well deserved brew!
This was a great read and a real insight into hosting events at our schools.
If your interested in seeing more about Ingleby Manor you can take a look here and see what facilities they have available for hire.

DSCOVR Public Release Statement
DSCOVR Public Release Statement
The Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) is a NOAA/NASA mission located near the Earth-Sun Lagrange point (L1) where it performs its primary objective of monitoring the solar wind as well as observing the Earth from sunrise to sunset with two Earth Science sensors: the Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera (EPIC) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Advanced Radiometer (NISTAR). The Earth sensors measure the broadband radiative fluxes of the entire dayside of Earth (NISTAR) as well as key spectral radiative characteristics in 10 narrowband channels (between 317 and 790 nm) at 10-20 km spatial resolution (EPIC). Information about mission and instruments is available in the ASDC DSCOVR Overview Guide as well as http://www.nesdis.noaa.gov/DSCOVR/
The DSCOVR project, together with the DSCOVR Earth Sensors science team and the NASA Langley Atmospheric Science Data Center (ASDC), announce the release of both Earth sensors Level 1 data. The release of Level 1 EPIC data provides 10 channel spectral radiances in counts/sec units. The preliminary calibration factors that convert counts/sec into reflectance units are also provided. The released datasets have initial versions of instrument calibration and geolocated applied but are not yet stray-light corrected. The stray-light corrected data will be released in the next version (~ Fall, 2016).
The Level 1 NISTAR data will provide irradiance measures in three broadband ranges from three active cavity radiometers. The total channel measures both solar reflected and Earth thermal radiation, the shortwave channel extracts the solar reflected irradiance, and the third channel is limited to the near infrared solar reflected signal. The fourth detector is a high signal-to-noise photodiode spanning UV, Visible, and Near IR frequencies. Preliminary absolute calibration parameters are provided.
The released data is available from June 2015 through the current day from the ASDC via Earthdata Search. Color imagery can be seen at http://epic.gsfc.nasa.gov. New Level 1 data will be released approximately 24-36 h after observations. Information about data can be found in the EPIC Data Format Control Book and in the NISTAR Data Format Control Book.
NOAA will release data from the space weather instruments on July 27th. The data, as well as space weather forecasts with a 30-45 minute lead-time will be available via the Space Weather Prediction Center at http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/.

Last week, it was reported that Chic Cooper would be joining the cast of Riverdale as a recurring character. Chic is Betty's long lost brother who was given up for adoption before Betty was born. Now, TVLine reports that the role has been cast.
Hart Denton (Lethal Weapon) will be playing the blonde-haired brother starting around the midpoint of season 2. The actor/musician will most likely bring even more drama to The CW show, as he comes back to see Betty and the rest of his family.
Other newcomers for this season include Mark Consuelos as Veronica's father Hiram Lodge and Graham Phillips as Veronica's old school pal Nick St. Clair.
You can read the official synopsis for the Riverdale season 2 premiere below!
THE ANGEL OF DEATH — As Fred's (Luke Perry) life hangs in the balance following the shooting at Pop's diner, Archie (KJ Apa) struggles with the emotional aftermath of what he witnessed. Meanwhile, as Veronica (Camila Mendes) steps out of her comfort zone to support Archie, she learns that her father Hiram (Mark Consuelos) has arrived to Riverdale earlier than expected. Elsewhere, at Pop's diner, Pop Tate (guest star Alvin Sanders) recounts the chilling details of the shooting, which leaves Jughead (Cole Sprouse) and Betty (Lili Reinhart) questioning the gunman's true motives. Lastly, after running into Cheryl (Madelaine Petsch) at the hospital, Betty and Kevin (Casey Cott) are surprised to learn about the fire at Thornhill. Rob Seidenglanz directed the episode written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa.
The second season of Riverdale will air on Wednesdays at 8:00 pm ET on The CW starting on October 11, 2017.

7 Reasons Why 'Marvel's Inhumans' Failed
The premiere episodes of the ABC Marvel's Inhumans has already aired with good ratings for ABC, stronger than the Season 4 of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and the final season of Agent Carter but this does not mean it is a success.
Marvel's Inhumans has been dragged through the mud with critics, many lambasting it as the worst thing Marvel Studios has ever been involved with, and a serious low-point for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I have seen these episodes of Inhumans and I can honestly say that ever criticism is apt. It's even more apt to say that Inhumans has failed as a series because of its incredibly low approval for its pilot episodes. So how did it happen? Who's to blame? What reasons can be found to why something that Marvel Studios were trying to do for years has now been reviled by many?
This list is here to detail those reasons why Inhumans failed. Click Next to find out!

Real-world 'Shark Tank' to showcase region's rising startup scene
November 18, 2013
by Paul Brinkmann
A real-world "Shark Tank" will unfold at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Deerfield Beach on Thursday with Kevin Harrington, one of the original hosts of the ABC TV show by the same name.
It's the 16th annual Emerging Business Technology Showcase, hosted by the Enterprise Development Institute and South Florida Technology Alliance. It will feature startup companies interacting with angel investors, said Rob Strandberg, president and CEO of the institute.
The event features 7-minute presentations from emerging companies from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Attorneys and accountants will also be present to help advise startups.
"People will see there is new startup strength across the three counties," Strandberg said. "In the past, we've got all these startups and we have the money here. But our entrepreneurial system is not what it should be. Lately, we have had more success stories."
Presenters on the stage at the event are entrepreneurs selected by the Enterprise Development Corp. (EDC). Industries will include medical technology, avatar text-to-speech technology, and business-to-business mobile apps.
According to Strandberg, Kipu Medical Systems, one of last year's presenters, will explain how it went from went from one client to 50 clients in a matter of months. Gui.de, a startup that endeavors to turn the Web into TV, will explain how it got $1.5 million in funding.
Harrington, also a chief executive for the As Seen On TV retailer, will appear toward the end of the all-day event, which runs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Another prominent guest speaker is Dean Hovey, CEO of Digifit and co-founder of Silicon Valley consulting firm IDEO. Hovey also invented the computer mouse.

Debut F5 – HiFi Choice Recommended
"Elac's Debut F5 floorstander is simply seismic" - HiFi Choice Recommended!
"The obvious sales proposition of Elac's Debut F5 is that it's a lot of speaker for relatively little money – but it's more than just this. It is an extremely well crafted budget oorstander in its own right, and well able to let the listener enjoy a wide range of music in the spirit it was intended. Whereas some speakers have an obvious character that atters some types of music and detracts from others, this is very well rounded for a product of its price, and never less than fun to listen to. That's a big achievement for a pair of sub-£600 speakers, so it comes highly recommended – this is one of the finest designs on sale in an already highly crowded budget oorstander marketplace" - David Price

Billie Eilish planning 'more mature' second album
Billie Eilish wants her second album to showcase a more mature and global side to her music.
The 18-year-old continued her meteoric rise to fame when her debut LP When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? won the Album of the Year prize at the Grammy Awards on Sunday (January 26, 2020), one of five she landed in total.
Speaking with Australian radio station Triple J, Billie revealed that she and her brother and writing partner Finneas are hard at work on the follow-up – and fans can expect a different and eclectic record.
"I have this good feeling about the next album. It's not done yet… But I have a good feeling about working on it," Billie said. "I think we're going to have a really fun time because we've matured and got to know ourselves better and the way we like to work, me and my brother. I think we'll write this album all over the place."
Revealing the origins of one track, she added: "One of the songs that we've almost finished is one that we wrote half of in Berlin, half of in London, and a part of in Australia. So, we haven't even written any in (her hometown) LA."
The Bad Guy hitmaker continued: "We only have a few songs and they're really different from each other, we're not really trying to sound like anything it's just whatever we feel we've been making. We'll keep doing that, feeling something and going with it."
Fans will not have to wait for the new album to hear new music, however, as the teenage superstar has also created the theme to the new James Bond movie, No Time to Die.
Describing how landing the gig blindsided herself and Finneas, she said: "We never got a letter, or email, or text or anything that was like 'you got the Bond song!' The official 'you got it' was us announcing it."

There's a Tai Chi martial art saying, "Chi follows intention". Or chi, meaning energy, flows where the mind goes.
Directing chi is important to mastery of any martial art. Because the mind and the body are inextricably linked, directing our chi is also essential to mastering our thoughts. Our health, both mental and physical, depend on it.
So, let's say that if you place your attention largely on what's wrong with your life – your fears, worries, regrets and doubts — you deplete the inner resources or energy required to create a more fulfilling present as well as working toward future goals.
You could even say that focusing on the negative simply produces more negativity. Let's take mood as a for instance. While it's true that some of our biology does work against us in the negativity department – our brains evolved to have a negativity bias to help us survive on the African plains — the fact remains that the more negative our thinking, the more negativity we produce.
It becomes a cycle that's difficult, but not impossible, to extract ourselves from. It does, however, take some effort and some strategies to buck the trend. What's required is to deliberately redirect our focus toward the positive. Consider these:
Mindfulness practices, like meditation, breath work and yoga, help us to stay in the moment. Staying in the moment helps to produce inner calm, which is more conducive to creativity or intuitively-driven action. Mindfulness practices get us out of circular thinking, which is self-defeating.
While it is important to acknowledge our feelings, we don't need to get lost in them either. So, learning to turning our thoughts and feelings to the positive is helpful. For instance, we might focus our thoughts on completing enjoyable or even necessary projects. Or engage in creative activities that transport us into thought-free space.
Not everything we think and feel is true. So, when negative thoughts and associated feelings do come up, we can interrogate the truthfulness of them. For example, after even a minor disappointment, we might engage in repetitive thinking about our uselessness. Thoughts of uselessness, constantly replayed, increase our stress and affect our mood. And worse, we begin to accept these thoughts as true. That's when the rational mind can usefully be employed in interrogating the truth of these thoughts. We might ask: "What is the evidence for this belief?" And, "What else might be true?".
By seeking and then acknowledging the deeper truth about a thought or feeling that is disturbing our peace of mind, it will be easier to arrive at a balanced view of a situation or person. Or even of ourselves. For example, in the case of a minor disappointment and subsequent self-judgment of uselessness, we could find a helpful re-frame: "This is only a minor setback. I am resourceful enough to find a way through this as I have done many other times.". This is the deeper, wiser part of us helping us to make empowered meaning of the situation. Rinse and repeat as necessary.
So, in effect, we are disrupting the pattern of negative thought by turning our thoughts, and hence our chi, to that which benefits our lives.
"Nothing can harm you as much as your own thoughts unguarded." Buddha

Even with 2019 General Elections, Indian Stock Markets Will Continue to Do Well
Ours is a nation that loves election season. Political parties flinging accusations back and forth; TV channels running agenda-driven, controversy-filled news pieces; and WhatsApp fights with friends and relatives about which leader can truly run the country well – what's not to love!?
Although the activities mentioned here are pretty harmless to you as a person, there are other attributes of
However, historically, we have seen a number of times that this dip (or upsurge) is only temporary and the markets always bounce back stronger than ever. The reason for this is very simple – political changes matter very little to the performance of the stock market. The most elections can do are cause a sentimental flutter in the market, which results in a temporary high or low that invariably corrects itself in a few months' time. So, instead of withdrawing your equity investments and losing out on months of compounding benefits, the OneInsure Research Desk recommends you to stay invested. Simply ignore the storm of
So, what decides stock market performance? The following are the
GDP Growth
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth is the measure of the economic growth of a country and is driven majorly by consumption, capital investments, and technological advancement. A large young working population increases consumption. India is demographically one of the youngest countries in the world currently. The average age of an Indian is less than 30 years. This demographic benefit is expected to continue for the next 15 years. A young population works and contributes to the nation's growth.
Inflation under Control
Low inflation rates increase the purchasing power of the people. Reduced interest rates encourage capital investments and economic activity in the country. The low inflation reduces the cost of production for industries. The low cost of production, in turn, increases consumption and economic activity in the country.
Favourable Fiscal Policy
Fiscal policy is the yearly Budget of government revenue collection and expenditure. The fiscal policy influences the economic activity in the country. Government revenue generation is from tax collection, operations of PSUs, or divestment of PSUs. The government spends revenue on human and infrastructure development in the country, that
Trade Surplus/Deficit
The difference between export and import is termed as trade surplus or trade deficit. Currently, India has a comfortable position on forex reserves and the government's focus on manufacturing in India is helping us move towards trade surplus.

Why HR pros are increasingly becoming strategic partners in business
Why HR pros are increasingly becoming strategic partners in business

April 28, 2017

Human resources
is at the core of any business. Few decisions corporate leaders make do not have an HR component in the framework. As a result, HR pros are increasingly coaching senior leaders to ensure they have the right person in the right role doing the right things.
A company can't grow, innovate, thrive and gain personal employee commitment without a
great HR foundation
. "The HR leader in an organization has a seat at the table and is increasingly valued," said Ed Coyle, vice president Randstad Professionals, human resources. "These HR professionals are involved in every aspect of the company."
"HR leaders are attending and participating in business meetings so that they can more effectively understand how their decisions impact the business," added Jonna Cottrell, executive recruiter in human resources at Randstad Professionals in Chicago.
So what changed?
In the past, HR leaders did not necessarily influence the business. Instead, they focused exclusively on operational HR processes and transactions. "The HR profession has come a long way since the days of the personnel office, focused primarily on processing documentation for employee hiring, administration and separation," said Bettina Deynes, SHRM-SCP, vice president of human resources and diversity at the
Society of Human Resources Management
Why the shift? With the national unemployment rate at just
4.5 percent
and 2.7 percent for college graduates, many companies need to get more out of the HR function. "It's hard to lose good people now," Coyle said. "You must have a plan to keep them progressing in their careers. It's bad for business to lose talented people in this market."
Coyle added, "If you're looking at employee retention and development, you have to let HR in the room to see what the challenges and opportunities are. If HR is an integral part of the business, then employers can recruit more effectively and plan development. They can really see what's needed."
Take advantage of opportunities
How can HR pros who have served as generalists step up to support the business on more strategic issues? Roll up your sleeves and get involved in real business issues in your current job. Experts advise more junior HR professionals to volunteer for cross-functional initiatives, such as major IT infrastructure roll-outs.
In addition, Deynes advises budding HR strategic partners to seek training and development opportunities. "Let everyone in their organization know that they have competencies that can be invaluable in solving problems and creating opportunities," she said.
A new type of HR job candidate
Because companies are increasingly recruiting
HR professionals
who can play a more strategic role, employment experts say they are observing different types of individuals entering the profession. For example, someone who has served as a financial analyst for several years and then decided that job isn't challenging any longer can move into a strategic HR role. "That's the risk the company takes," Coyle said. "It knows the individual, and the financial analyst knows the business inside and out. The firm is willing to take a chance to keep his or her career moving along with the company."
Companies that recognize this shift in the HR function can attract higher caliber employees, too. "I often speak with HR pros who only want to work for an organization that is willing to embrace HR as a strategic partner," Cottrell added. "Organizations that have this approach often address it in the interview process — they want to hear concrete examples of how an interviewee has established rapport with business leaders in prior organizations."
HR professionals are increasingly becoming strategic partners in their businesses. And as this is good news for HR pros since most organizations need these vital partnerships. By building relationships throughout the organization, HR professionals can more effectively help managers with talent acquisition and employee relations, mitigate litigation risks and improve awareness of business goals among managers and throughout the workforce.

Final School Budget Preserves Kindergarten Expansion, Staff Raises
With a unanimous vote Tuesday, Loudoun shed its unwelcome label as one of only three counties in the state without universal full-day kindergarten.
Faced with trimming the school system's budget for next fiscal year by $14.9 million, the School Board was expected to roll back its plans to expand full-day kindergarten countywide or give employees lower-than-hoped-for pay raises. But board member Eric Hornberger (Ashburn) offered an alternative solution.
To offset the more than $2 million needed to keep pay raises intact and expand full-day kindergarten, Hornberger suggested the board use appropriated but unspent funds from current fiscal year 2018 to purchase $1.64 million in technology upgrades. Another $552,842 in savings came from a budgeting error he and the finance department found that showed the charter schools' per pupil allotment had been miscalculated. Hornberger said that change does not affect the current allotment for the county's two charter schools.
The final budget allows for every teacher to get some kind of pay raise. Teachers in the first nine steps on the pay scale—roughly those in the first nine years of their career—would get an average of 3.9 percent; more experienced teachers on steps 17 through 20 would get an average 2.3 percent pay raise, and veteran teachers at the top of the pay schedule would get a 1 percent raise. Those salary schedule adjustments would be in addition to annual salary step increases, which will average 2.2 percent. The across-the-board pay raise for employees not on the teacher salary schedule will be 1.3 percent.
"We only have tonight to make an adjustment to save salaries," Hornberger said. "If we don't do that we're going to be issuing contracts less than what we set forth in our strategic plan, and I think that concerned many of us."
His suggestions also restored a high school special education dean position, co-curricular stipend raises, a slight increase in teacher assistants' hours, and a program called Measures of Academic Progress that measures growth in reading, language and math at elementary schools.
Enhancements that the board had planned for but ultimately cut included 10 new elementary school teachers, five of the 22 requested new positions for the Academies of Loudoun, a $2 increase in the per-pupil allotment for instructional materials, and six new custodial positions.
Most board members thanked Hornberger for finding enough savings in the spending plan to keep universal full-day kindergarten and employee raises. A list of cuts recommended by Superintendent Eric Williams last week would have reduced the pay raises.
"Mr. Hornberger, you rock," Tom Marshall (Leesburg) said. "What he came up with is far better than what I could have come up with. I appreciate your efforts very, very much."
"Thank you for digging deep and finding these savings so we can continue on with the salary increase," Beth Huck (At Large) said.
Several board members talked about the long-fought battle to arrive at universal full-day kindergarten, weighing over the past decade swelling enrollment growth, space constraints and community-wide demand for the program. It does, however, come with a caveat: To deliver a full academic day to every kindergartener this fall, many students initially assigned to the overcrowded Creighton's Corner, Hillside, Lucketts, and Mill Run elementary schools will have to be bussed to neighboring schools that have classroom space.
At the pressing of Eric DeKenipp (Catoctin), Williams did say there was a strong possibility that the school system will not be able to maintain universal full-day kindergarten. It will depend on enrollment growth, especially in the Dulles area.
"We anticipate significant challenges to maintaining universal full-day kindergarten," he said, adding that he will present a report to the board next month that lays out the concerns and possible strategies to maintain the program.
DeKenipp added, addressing the audience, "Be on alert that it is a potential possibility that we may not be able to do this in a sustainable manner."
Jill Turgeon (Blue Ridge) also shared concerns. She said she's glad to see the county will achieve countywide full-day kindergarten a few years earlier than expected, but it will come with sacrifices. "The slippery slope that I'm most concerned about is bussing some of our youngest students to alternate locations," she said.
Before the board's vote, former kindergarten teacher Lisa Suchland shared similar concerns with the board. She said it's not worth rushing the program if it requires increased class sizes or taking students out of their home schools. "I agree that it doesn't seem fair that some are half day and some are full, but I think it is a more of a disservice to have 27 students in a class," she said.
Three people at the meeting spoke in support of universal full-day kindergarten. Joe Wood said his daughter will attend Mill Run Elementary this fall, one of the schools that does not yet offer a full kindergarten program. "She's thriving in a preschool. I'd hate to see her lose the strides she'd made in preschool in a half-day program," he said. "I think it's a small price to pay to get everyone started on the right foot."
Two speakers asked the board to retain employee raises. "Please do not reconcile this budget at the expense of teachers and staff," said Dave Palanzi, president of the employee advocate group Loudoun Education Association.
The school system could see another $2 million in state funding, depending on the budget the General Assembly adopts. Hornberger said that is another option to cover the cost of the $1.6 million in technology upgrades taken out of next fiscal year's spending plan.
County supervisors set the school system's total appropriations for next fiscal year's operating budget at about $1.187 billion, $797.4 million of which is from county tax dollars. That still left the school system with $49.5 million more in local dollars than the current fiscal year, an increase of more than 6 percent. Cutting that tax rate a half cent will save the average taxpayer $23.16 over the next year, or $1.93 a month.

The Camp Fire in northern California is now the state's deadliest and most destructive wildfire on record, causing at least 42 deaths and destroying more than 7,600 buildings. Since igniting last Thursday, the blaze has scorched more than 125,000 acres, an area more than four times the size of San Francisco.
Almost the entire town of Paradise, California, home to 26,000, burned down, leaving many homeless.
Camp is alarmingly reminiscent of the Carr Fire, which burned more than 229,000 acres near Redding, California in August. Many of the same factors that made the Carr Fire so calamitous are fueling the Camp Fire right now. In particular, it's hot, it's dry, it's windy, there's been little rain, and just about all the vegetation around is flammable.
As climate change pushes temperatures up, vegetation like grasses and trees are dying out. This creates ample fuel to burn. Outside of Chico, where the Camp Fire began burning, the flames were then fanned by northern California's Diablo Winds with gusts topping 70 mph. The fire at one point gained about a football field in area per second.
Though the Camp Fire resulted from a perfect set of extreme fire conditions that all coincidentally came together at the same time, some of those conditions were years in the making.
It's an example of how forces in the climate that build up over decades can act on the scale of days, even hours, creating a terrifying scenario the likes of which we have never experienced before: The largest, deadliest, and most destructive fires in California history were all within three months of each other this year. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has seen almost double the acres burned across its service territory compared to the same time last year.
Though climate change will never cause any individual event, scientists reported in 2016 that about 55 percent of the dryness in western forests between 1979 and 2015 could be attributed to warming due to human activity. This ongoing warming converges with seasonal variations in temperature and rainfall. "Climate change is increasing the vulnerability of many US forests through fire, insect infestations, drought, and disease outbreaks," according to the US government's National Climate Assessment.
In California's case, it's helped to fuel a massive, years-long drought. That's led to a staggering 129 million dead trees throughout the state, leaving dry kindling scattered throughout forests and creating severe fire conditions that blanket huge swaths of the state.
Fires are a normal part of the natural ecosystem in many parts of California, helping rejuvenate forests and grasslands. However, property developers have often pursued a strategy of suppressing fires when they occur instead of letting them run their natural course. This protects lives and property in the short term, but it also allows fuel to accumulate, increasing the hazards from fires that do eventually occur.
At the same time, people are also responsible for starting the vast majority of wildfires.
In the case of the Carr Fire, investigators blame sparks from a broken down car. The Camp Fire may have started from sparking power lines. As more and more people sprawl out from California's expensive cities in search of scenic views and cheap real estate, they come into closer contact with forests and grasslands primed to burn. This increases the likelihood of a fire and increases the damages that do occur.
With fire seasons stretching out almost all year in the West, it's going to get harder to escape the risks of flames, smoke, and dust. And as temperatures continue to rise and populations grow, the state of California will see more severe and unprecedented fires on the horizon. Here's how climate scientist Daniel Swain put it recently on Twitter:
What is abundantly clear is that we have big, rapidly accelerating problem–both in California & elsewhere. And my point is not that it's all due to climate change. But we have to start having more nuanced conversations on societal risk. Clearly, status quo is not working. (17/n)

Sweet Potato Pancakes
Posted February 6, 2014on:
I can honestly tell you that I was VERY apprehensive to try these pancakes. I can't stand sweet potatoes (in any form) and since this recipe packs one-half cup per 10 pancakes, I thought for sure that was all I would taste! I am thrilled to say, I was wrong!! Not only are they delicious, but they may just be the best pancakes I have ever had!!! And I don't think that I'll revert back to the 'old-fashioned' way! 🙂 Here's how I make them:
Biscuit Pizzas
Posted May 30, 2013on:
I don't know about your house, but we are fans of pizza in just about any form! In the past, I used to buy mini pizza shells, but the store I had been buying them from recently stopped carrying them (plus they were 8 for $2 – not a bad price, but I found cheaper way!) I then started using crescent rolls, putting the toppings inside and rolling them up. This weekend I bought biscuits and was presently surprised at how they turned out!! Plus, I got 40 biscuits for about $1.98!!!
Biscuit Pizzas
Pepperoni / other toppings, if desired
Pizza Sauce
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Flatten each biscuit and set on baking sheet. Once you have flattened them all, start over and do them each a second time (this will give you a bigger pizza crust)
3. Add cheese (we use a mozzarella and provolone blend) and toppings to each biscuit.
4. Bake for 10-14 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is all melty and gooey!
Serve with pizza sauce to dip.
Notes: I have also folded the biscuits to make miniature calzones! Of course, your could vary this any way you like! Put the sauce on the biscuit before the cheese and toppings. Use ranch dressing as the sauce and add chicken and bacon! The possibilities are endless!! 🙂

2017 Coeur de Roy Domaine Bernard Dugat-Py
75 year old vines are the average here. This has more breadth and density than the Vieilles Vignes. A really polished deep feel. Incredible intensity, but with no tightness. There is a joyous and open expression. Excellent black and velvety fruit pulp core, dotted with mulched red flesh and the odd stripe of darker berries in the middle. Pert strawberry and some softer red fruits too make up the svelte weight. There is super energy too and a saline mineral freshness that adds further bounce. A great freshness to this Pinot, so impressive. Drinking range: 2022 - 2029L&S(Nov 2018)

(from vines of 50 to 100+ years of age situated in Epointures, Combe du Dessus, Jouise, and Les Marchais; vinified with 50% of the stems). Once again the aromatic expression is filled with floral nuances that add a touch of elegance to the cool and pure essence of red currant, earth and herbal tea scents. There is excellent intensity to the sleek and mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that possess even better depth and persistence. As is the case with several wines in the range, this isn't as dense as it usually is but that doesn't mean that it still won't require extended bottle age to arrive at its peak. Drinking range: 2029 - Rating: 89-92 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com(Jan 2019)
Matured in two-thirds new oak, the 2017 Gevrey-Chambertin "Cuvée Coeur du Roy" has a very pure black cherry and boysenberry scented bouquet. The oak is neatly integrated and the 50% whole bunches impart a subtle undergrowth scent. The palate is packed full of sucrosity on the entry, slightly confit in style with macerated small black cherries, blueberry and a dash of white pepper towards the spicy finish. This will deserve five or six years in bottle, but there is very good potential here. Drinking range: 2023 - 2040 Rating: 90-92 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com(Jan 2019)
Prettier and more red-fruited on the nose than Les Evocelles. Supple and silky and beautifully fresh, the tannins more supple than on Les Evocelles. Again, the fruit is really ripe here but with no loss of freshness. There's an honesty and integrity, without artifice. Needs time. Drinking range: 2024 - 2032 Rating: 17 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com(Dec 2018)
Three parcels, all of them planted with the old-vine massal selections that are an important feature of the Dugat-Py holdings, make up this superb village red. It's focussed, fragrant and refined, with subtle aromatic spices from 50% whole bunches, glossy tannins and a fresh, mineral-edged finish. Drinking range: 2024 - 2030 Rating: 93 Tim Atkin MW - Decanter(Nov 2018)

Wines bought en primeur are scheduled to arrive in the UK over the course of the next eighteen months. If you do not wish to take home delivery, you may wish to consider where you would like the wines shipped on arrival in the UK. Lea & Sandeman offers duty paid and in bond storage through a dedicated storage company called Elephant Storage. For more details on the terms and fees associated with storage please go to our Storage Homepage or contact our primeurs team for more information.
While helpful, we do not require a firm commitment on delivery destination to process your primeur order at this stage. Our team will be in contact with you when your wines arrive in the UK to confirm the necessary delivery details.
OFFER: All wines are offered subject to availability and final confirmation.
PRICING: All prices are quoted IN BOND ex-VAT, by the case size stated. Please double check that the desired case size does match what is being offered as wines are variously listed in threes, sixes, dozens, halves and larger formats.
DELIVERY - TIMING: This is a primeur offer so the wines are not yet physically available for delivery. They will be shipped to the UK over the next eighteen months. Generally wines are shipped to your nominated location once the whole order has landed in our London City Bond account. If you require wines to be delivered by a certain date, please advise us at the time of ordering. We do not anticipate any problems but please be aware that delays to delivery may occur should Britain's possible departure from the European Union result in additional border customs checks or other regulatory requirements. Any additional or unforeseen duties, tariffs, charges or other financial liabilities relating to 'Brexit' must be due to the customer and will be added to orders as required.
DELIVERY - FEES: In bond delivery to an Elephant Storage account (for more information see 'Storage Options' opposite) is free of charge. Transfer of wines to any third party bond (i.e. not Elephant Storage) will incur an administration charge of £16.50 + VAT for all orders under £1,000. If you require wines duty paid, please indicate this in your Wishlist order form. A duty & VAT invoice will be raised once all the wines on your order are available for shipment. Once the relevant duty & VAT has been settled, we will ship the wines to your nominated address as per our normal duty paid Delivery Terms.
PAYMENT: All orders will be invoiced for immediate payment by cheque, cash, debit card or cleared funds to our account. We regret that we cannot accept credit cards for primeur orders. We reserve the right to apply a dunning charge of 2% per month on invoices unpaid after 30 days.

· Exploring the world through words ·
I know I'm not the first person to fall in love with London. The English city has been captivating people for over 2000 years and thanks to movies, TV shows, and books, there are some who fall in love with it without ever visiting.
For those of us who have visited, or have been lucky to call it home, one of the pleasures of these stories is recognizing streets, areas, and buildings. One of the best books for this is Edward Rutherfurd 1997 London: The Novel. Tracing a fictionalized history – though deeply rooted in fact – of several families in the Capital, London brings the city's past alive. From the pre-Roman history through to 1997, this novel touches on all the professions and types of people who have inhabited the city over the years through relatable and interesting characters.
Today, we think of London as a sprawling metropolis. However, for much of its history, as London demonstrates, the city was contained to the area around the Tower of London and what is now the City of London. It's hard to believe that so much could have taken place in such a small area of the city, but it truly was the heart of London for hundreds of years.
There is nothing more delightful than reading London and recognizing the street names referenced or learning the history of a building you've passed by hundreds of times. A few weeks ago, I was wandering around Kensington and took a walk through Holland Park. I loved the houses on the southwest side of the park and snapped a picture of a particularly unique house complete with a tower. I intended to look it up, but forgot. A week or so later, London referenced this exact house! It prompted me to finally look it up and I found that it was owned by Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page in the seventies.
The book is full of these connections and alternatively has the power to inspire. On another recent trip into London I was trying to decide what to do. I decided I had the urge to visit Regent's Park as it was supposed to be a particularly nice day for February. There are many lovely parks in London I could've chosen but I was especially drawn to Regent's Park on this trip. I realized a few days after that it was probably because there was a lot of talk of Regent's Park being developed in the later chapters of London.
Picturing the places you know and imagining them as they once were gives you more of an appreciation for the legacy of those places. I was already enamored with London and thought I knew much of its history before reading the novel, but I came away with a much better understanding as to how some of the areas and traditions of the Big Smoke came to be.
London is powerful in that it can bring to life the city's streets for both those who know them and those who have never touched foot along the banks of the Thames. Samuel Johnson famously said," For there is in London all that life can afford." Rutherfurd's London reinforces this and more. An epic tale for an epic city.
