Ardenne Alumni Foundation to be launched Saturday
Tomorrow, past students of Ardenne High School will officially launch the Ardenne Alumni Foundation (AAF) with a dinner at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel.
The AAF is an approved charitable organisation. It is empowered under sections Two and 17 of the Charities Act 2013 to request and to receive donations to be used exclusively for the advancement of the welfare of present and future generations of students, teaching faculty and administrators at Ardenne High School. Chair of the AAF, Florence Darby, said a group of alumni wanted to give back to the institution, hence the foundation's creation.
"And we needed to ensure that there was this tradition of excellence that was maintained and that you needed money to do so," she said. "Finally, we have now done all the legal work." The AAF's first project is to solarise the school as Ardenne has an average monthly energy bill in excess of $1 million. Fellow alumni, Mark Thomas, said a group of past students led by engineer, Jennings Gordon, CEO of the Gormann Corporation, have been leading an energy committee to explore options to bring affordable energy options to the school. Gormann Corporation specialises in energy solutions for companies. Thomas said Gordon has committed to waive his professional fees and has donated a solar light to the campus.
"We are planning to put in LED lights throughout the school as well to do some solar panels," said Darby. Thomas said a comprehensive solarisation plan has been written by Gordon, who guides the foundation in its plans. The solarisation project plans to focus first on the high energy consumption areas of the school such as the computer labs. Ultimately, Ardenne plans to sell energy back to the national grid.
The dinner is a launch pad for other initiatives of the AAF, including support of the school's student-welfare programmes. The AAF will also commit funds to bursaries and scholarships, and key infrastructural projects such as constructing and improving classrooms, laboratories, and libraries.
"We want to make sure the facilities in the school are improved," said Darby. "We want to ensure we have a sports programme going. We have a holistic centre for students ... so it's ongoing, and we welcome ideas from other alumni as well." Thomas said patrons could expect fantastic performances by some recent students at the dinner.
"Ardenne has a fantastic musical/singing tradition, and we will be having the great Ana Strachan in cabaret," he said. Early contributors to the AAF will be honoured at the event. Professor Marvin Reid, director of the Tropical Metabolism Research Unit at University of the West Indies, Mona, a recipient of the Vice Chancellor's Award for Excellence for Research, will be guest speaker.
For more information on the dinner, contact the Ardenne Alumni Association via email: email@example.com, or call at (876) 461-8726.

Tang Hong (second left) making the donation to Col. Yeboah-Agyapong. With them is President of the Ghana China Friendship Association.
The Association of Chinese Societies in Ghana has donated GHȼ50,000 to the 37 Military Hospital to support the treatment of victims of the Atomic Junction gas explosion.
About seven persons, including a cameraman attached to the presidential press corps, lost their lives while scores of individuals got injured on Saturday, October 7, 2017 during a gas explosion at Atomic Junction, a suburb of Accra.
Many of the victims are currently receiving treatment at the 37 Military Hospital which was their first port of call.
Chairman of the Association of Chinese Societies in Ghana, Tang Hong, in a statement on Tuesday in Accra, said that "the Chinese Community in Ghana is saddened to hear of the tragic event which occurred on Saturday, 7 October, 2017."
He said "it is unfortunate that many families are still reeling from the great loss and pain of devastation caused by the Atomic Junction gas explosion."
He indicated that the Chinese community in Ghana was obliged to offer assistance and humanitarian support to the victims.
"This donation is a token and to show our concern to the accident victims. We are hopeful this modest contribution will help to support some of the hospital expenses of the victims," Mr Hong said.
According to him, "We all are fully aware that disasters cannot be completely avoided. It is also a fact that being struck by natural calamities such as this and its aftermath is a heart-wrenching experience."
Receiving the cash on behalf of the hospital, Colonel Yeboah-Agyapong, Commanding Officer of the 37 Military Hospital, thanked the Chinese Societies for the support and said that it would go a long way to help meet the medical needs of the victims.
He said it takes long period of time to heal such victims which requires support, indicating that the last victim of the June 3 2015 victim was released from the hospital only a month ago.
Colonel Yeboah-Agyapong therefore appealed to other organizations to support the hospital to meet the medical needs of the fire victims.

Vision Changes In Ages 60 Plus
The 60-plus age group often start to notice vision changes that require bifocal, varifocal, or reading glasses to see due to hardening of the lens in the eye. This is one of the most common age-related eye problems, where layers are added to the natural lens. These vision changes can result in the formation of a cataract and decreases the amount of light that can enter the eye, causing the vision to become yellow and blurry.
These vision changes are slow to progress, and gradually cause a decrease in the quality of vision. The formation of cataract is different for everyone. Replacing the lens at this juncture is permanent and the need for cataract surgery is then eliminated.
As your body ages, many physical changes will occur, some of which can reduce your quality of life. While this is perfectly normal, changes to something as important as sight can be a frightening prospect. Glasses can be prescribed for some age-related conditions, and advances in medical technology means that vision changes such as the development of cataracts need no longer be tolerated. The good news is that cataract surgery is permanent and there should be no need for repeat surgery.
Common age-related eye conditions
Vision correction surgery is something you need to consider for more serious conditions which cause vision changes, such as cataracts. You can also have corrective surgery for conditions like Presbyopia, which causes blurriness when looking at items close up, such as when reading, knitting, or using a computer.
By the time you reach your 60s, you should be having regular eye exams as well as regular physical examinations to identify related physical conditions which could affect your vision. Dry eye is common, particularly in older women, and this can cause discomfort. You may also find your peripheral vision decreases, and that colours become more difficult to distinguish.
Vision changes can mean that you need more light to see clearly than when you were younger. If you're struggling to see at home then try using more lamps, especially when reading or doing other close-up work such as sewing.
One of the most serious eye conditions is a detached retina. The symptoms of this include seeing spots and floaters in front of your eyes. While this can be attributed to increasing age and be harmless, it will need to be checked by an ophthalmic professional as it could mean a detached retina, which will lead to blindness if it is not treated early.
Thankfully, most vision changes do not indicate serious health problems and their inconvenience and discomfort can be overcome using minor surgery, eye drops, or specialist glasses. If you're over 60 and recognise any of these symptoms, then make an appointment to see your optician.

Allison Tassinari, Center Director
Ages: 6 Weeks to 6 YEARS
Elementary Schools Bussed To:
Transportation not available
Our center is accredited by NAEYC.
We're so proud!
Nationally only 10% of daycares are accredited - nearly 100% of our learning centers are. That's a big difference, and that means KinderCare kids are getting the very best. Here's why.
What Learning Looks Like
Our talented early-childhood teachers set kids down the path toward becoming lifelong learners in a positive, safe, and nurturing environment.
Our Programs
Infant Programs (6 weeks - 1 year)
Babies grow and learn every day. Our goal is to provide a safe and nurturing "home away from home" where babies can explore and make new discoveries. We know that learning through play is extremely valuable at this age and our Early Foundations® Infant program is designed to give babies the skills that will serve as the building blocks for a lifetime of learning.
Toddler Programs (1 – 2 Years)
As toddlers develop friendships, self-esteem, and curiosity, our Early Foundations® Toddler program will help them explore their world in a safe and nurturing environment. Our unique curriculum is based on the philosophy that children learn best through experiences. So each day is filled with fun activities that excite and develop toddlers, giving them the comfort and confidence to speak those first few important words, as well as make their first friends.
Discovery Preschool Programs (2 – 3 Years)
At this age, children are making new discoveries daily. And as two-year olds begin to exert their independence, our Early Foundations® Discovery Preschool program is prepared to open their eyes to a world of learning, sharing, and exploring. Our holistic approach in the classroom engages young minds with a blend of music, art, and movement, as well as the early education fundamentals they'll need as they continue on to preschool.
Preschool Programs (3 – 4 Years)
As preschoolers gain more self-esteem, they may feel ready to take on the world. Our Early Foundations® Preschool program enhances that confidence by providing activities to help children become problem solvers and lifelong learners. Through independent exploration, structured activities, and hands-on learning, children will work on early literacy, math, science, and social studies concepts. A healthy dose of running, jumping, and dancing keeps them active too.
Prekindergarten Programs (4 – 5 Years)
Prekindergartners are preparing for the adventure of a lifetime – school. And our Early Foundations Prekindergarten® program is designed to get them ready by teaching letters and words, math concepts, and valuable social skills. With small group instruction, independent play in an organized atmosphere, and whole-group activities, children will have all the right skills to hop, skip, and jump right into kindergarten.
Before- & After-School Programs (5 – 12 Years)
Even after school's out for the day, children need to be engaged in a comfortable, yet stimulating environment. That's where our Catch the Wave® program comes in. This innovative before – and after-school program allows school-age children to balance learning and fun through a variety of experiences. From homework help to fun physical activities, our program is designed so that everyone goes home happy.
Summer Programs (preschool, prekindergarten, and school-age)
Don't miss out on KinderCare's Summer of Wonder: Six themed programs that will make summer exciting, educational and tons of fun. Whether your child is in our preschool, Pre-K or school-age programs, all of it is designed to help children learn while soaking up the fun. We offer flexible scheduling options to meet the needs of busy families like yours so we hope to see you there.
Participating Child Care Aware Center
KinderCare has partnered with Child Care Aware® of America in an effort to offer fee assistance for Active Duty military families and solutions to their child care needs when care at a Child Development Center on the installation is not available.
Learning Adventures - Enrichment Program
Our Cooking Academy program teaches kids confidence in the kitchen through hands-on activities that build important math, science, and social skills. They'll learn about recipes, ingredients, cooking vocabulary, and nutrition—and get to eat some delicious food made all on their own like carrot and turmeric hummus, pumpkin muffins, vegetable curry, black bean and sweet potato chili, and so much more!
Phonics & Reading Adventures
Set your child up for advanced success with literacy through phonics, the study of letters and sounds. Reader books, games, and activity cards help your child understand the basics of vowels and blending syllables, giving him confidence and command of language.
Our Teachers
We're the only company in early childhood education to select teachers based on natural talent. Being a great educator isn't enough though. KinderCare teachers are also amazing listeners, nurturers, boo-boo fixers, and smile-makers. Put more simply, we love our teachers and your child will, too.
Meet just a few of our amazing KinderCare teachers!
An Artist's Heart
"My classroom is full of art!" says Mary Annthipie-Bane, an award-winning early childhood educator at KinderCare. Art and creative expression, she says, help children discover who they really are.
We put our best-in-class teachers in a best-in-class workplace. We're so proud to have been named one of Gallup's 37 winners of the Great Workplace Award. When you put great teachers in an engaging center, your children will experience an amazing place to learn and grow.
Our Families
Don't take our word for it. Hear what our families have to say about our amazing center!
I would recommend KinderCare to anyone who wants the best educational experience for their child. My daughter has really blossomed since she started there at age three. She has learned so much and is definitely more than prepared for Kindergarten. The teachers are very caring professionals who provide a safe, fun, and stimulating environment. KinderCare is by far the best center my daughter has attended!
Michelle T. - KinderCare Parent
I will never forget the day I dropped my six-week-old daughter off at daycare. I knew she was going to be taken care of but I still felt guilty leaving her to be cared for by someone else. I was surprised to see how understanding and caring the teachers at KinderCare were. That day, they didn't only take care of my daughter, but they also took care of me. They eased my mind that she would be well taken care of without making me feel like my feelings were invalid. My daughter is now three years old and continues to attend KinderCare and loves every minute she spends there. She is learning things that she would never learn at home. She is socially blossoming into her own person and forming her very own personality. She has had different teachers through different stages in her development and all I can say is that each and every one of them, though very different, has helped my daughter be the smart, social, and wonderful child she is today. I feel like the staff at KinderCare is a part of our family. They have shown a true interest in my child and care about her education and well being. KinderCare has not only provided a wonderful learning environment that my daughter thrives in, but continues to give me piece of mind that I have made the right decision about choosing KinderCare as our daycare provider.
Jennifer E. - KinderCare Parent
Who Are KinderCare Families?
They hail from hundreds of cities across the country from countless backgrounds, and proudly represent every walk in life. What our families have in common, though, is the want to give their children the best start in life. We are so proud to be their partner in parenting.
Hear from just a few of our amazing KinderCare families.

Dozens of self-identifying Stanford students were arrested on Monday night after they shut down the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge in a "#blacklivesmatter" protest against alleged police brutality and oppression. The protesters stopped traffic for nearly two hours on both sides for commuters heading to and from work in what they dubbed #SiliconShutdown.
After they closed off the bridge, the protesters pulled out a giant Palestinian flag and draped it across multiple lanes.

"We chose to inconvenience the weekend commute because the status quo is deadly to the black and brown peoples of this country and can no longer be tolerated," said Stanford class of 2017 participant Maria Diaz, according to the Los Angeles Times.
The protest coincided with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and started around 4:50 p.m., ending at approximately 6:50 p.m. The California Highway Patrol reportedly arrested 68 people on suspicion of disorderly conduct and for blocking access to public land, notes the Times.
The bridge shutdown came on the heels of a weekend filled with protests throughout the Golden State from rallies in support of law enforcement to demonstrations citing concerns over supposed racial divisions within San Francisco's LGBT communities.

It has been a heavy week of digging up all of the original articles, blurbs and features I wrote for Altpornstar.com before parting ways with the site and it's owner Sean Adamz. Luckily I had no concrete agreement with Adamz for the exchange so I've retained creative ownership of my work and am now re-releasing it under my own name as apposed to the rather brilliant ghost name I had been using, 'Carl Honduras'.
This is a blurb and pictorial spread I did for the Inferno nightclub's "Leather and Lace" night which was on the second of this month. On the first Saturday of every month the inferno holds the Leather and lace event. It is Madison Wisconsin's best known and most patroned fetish event.
Before leaving Madison in 2003, I used to go to Leather and lace every once in a while. Since getting back last year I've been going almost religiously.
This particular blurb got more hits than anything else I had written for Altpornstar.com. It was actually one of the highest hit articles that had been on the site in several months.
Since I am no longer under the obtuse literary restraints of Sean Adamz I'll give this the more in depth service it deserves.
The crowd is always a pleasant mix of local celebrity and individuality. Not to many of any one 'click' or 'scenesters' to be found.

Taken throughout the 1990s, Paul Blackmore's photographs document outdoor life in a range of Sydney suburbs. Much of suburban life is defined by the experience of having neighbours — living in close proximity with others, together yet apart. Blackmore's photographs explore contrasting expressions of neighbourliness — driveway cricket matches in a Balmain gated community, the friendly openness of working on your car in the front yard, a community bonding over the protest against a proposed local airport. These photographs from the Library's collection show people relating to the world around them, starting with those next door.

So this is something we did a while back and I thought that perhaps it would benefit from being revisited and updated.
Everything below is still an up to date assessment of candle labels for UK and EU sales but given the popularity of fragrance blends, overpours and embeds I thought it would be useful to add an update on how these should be labelled.
Yes, you did read it correctly, is your candle legal? Are your wax melts safe? Do you know what to look for in a safe home fragrance product?
Most people when asked those questions would simply say "I don't know" or "how can a candle even be illegal?"
It's fair to say that many in the UK and EU have no idea of the rules and regulations on candle safety and even fewer people know about the laws that came into effect in 2015.
From 1st June 2015 the CLP (Classification, Labelling, Packaging) regulations came into force which essentially means that anyone who sells scented candles, wax melts, room diffusers etc MUST comply with new legislation around labelling. This states that anything which is designated a mixture (in essence for the purposes of candles etc, it means anything with fragrance and/or dye) must be labelled in accordance with CLP regulations.
So what does CLP require?
CLP labelling is different to the candle safety labels that many of us will have seen with the simple illustrations and candle safety warnings, which are generic. Under the new rules every candle (or melt or diffuser) will have a different label explaining the specific hazards present and which are largely determined by the fragrance content. This is specific to the fragrance/dye and the fragrance/dye quantity used in the finished product
The provision of this is a LEGAL REQUIREMENT and is not optional.
Each label should include:
- Fragrance name
- Manufacturer name
- Manufacturer contact details – address, email, phone (in the event that someone develops a reaction to a chemical the authorities need to be able to contact the "responsible person" so generic details will not suffice
- Allergens present in product
- Warning symbol/pictogram
- Instructions of "what to do in the event of.."
Although many people have interpreted the rules as that melts do not apply, that is incorrect. As small products (under 125ml) full CLP does not need to be included however the bulk of the information above does still need to be present on any label.
Looking at many small candle and melt producers on Instagram, Facebook etc it's pretty apparent that they do not understand the CLP laws and do not comply with them – to be honest there are a number of candle/melt reviewers/bloggers who do not appear to understand the rules either. If someone is promoting a scented product surely it is incumbent on them to ensure that that Company abides by all necessary rules and that the products they endorse are safe for the public?
So anyone who is involved in the business of selling candles/melts/diffusers get yourself up to speed with the CLP regulations and make sure that you understand how they apply to the products you sell/endorse. The rules have been established to create a level playing field and although, as usual, some of the huge candle companies have found a loophole, the laws do apply to most everyone else!
And if you are buying a candle or a cute set of melts, do please check that the person you are buying it from has full legal labelling on their products and that they understand their responsibilities – at the end of the day, if someone has an allergic reaction to a product that someone has sold, there will be a liability issue which will in all probability be excluded from any insurance.
This is by no means a comprehensive set of instructions on CLP and there are plenty of people out there far more legally proficient than us at explaining the rules – we just felt that we should make sure more people understood the law pertaining to candles/melts.
Thanks for reading!
Update 2017
OK, so IG and FB are full of custom blends and melts using overpours and it struck me that I couldn't see how any of these were complying with CLP. Having asked a few vendors how they labelled things it became clear – they WERE NOT following the law.
According to the regulations (please see above) each and every fragrance blend MUST have its own SDS (Safety Data Sheet) which in turn is used to create the CLP label. You cannot use the CLP for each separate fragrance and put them on a product in a list – it is not compliant.
Let me give you an example – a custom blended melt bar containing strawberries and raspberries with a vanilla overpour.
Each of the fragrance oils (or essential oils) has its own specific set of allergens which are present at maximum usage levels so hypothetically let's say
Strawberry has A1 at 0.4%
Raspberry has A1 at 0.5%
Vanilla has A1 at 0.25%
If the label was written based on this, each individual fragrance would be under the maximum usage level of say, 1%. However when the fragrances are combined the total of allergen A1 is 1.15% which could be sufficient to trigger an allergic reaction.
You cannot label wax melts or candles by using the list method, it is not accurate and is potentially illegal. Furthermore, if your labels are incorrect and someone has an allergic reaction and sued you, your insurance policy (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE – make sure you have insurance before you start selling to ANYONE!) could be rendered invalid and you would then become personally liable. NOT to mention the Trading Standards investigation that could follow.
If you are buying candles, melts etc, please make sure that you understand who you are buying from and that they have the correct labelling – just because someone is on Facebook or has an Etsy shop does not make them a compliant business. If you have a reaction to a scented product, take some time to look at the label and try to understand which ingredient you have reacted to, in doing so you could save yourself another reaction but also if you know which ingredient affects you, you can avoid it and still enjoy your candles!
Any questions do please drop me a line and I will try to help!

Daily Kos does not delete comments except in extraordinary circumstances (personal information in a comment, video autoplaying, etc.). However, there is a community moderation system known as "hide-rating" or "troll-rating" that can render comments inaccessible to most viewers.
Users who have participated at Daily Kos and have been members for a while in good standing may become "Trusted Users." Once Trusted, that user can rate comments as "Recommend" or "Hide." To be hidden, a comment must have at least two "Hide" votes. Recommend votes counter hide votes using an algorithm; there must always be substantially more people voting to hide than to recommend for a comment to be hidden.
Once a comment is hidden, you must be a Trusted User to view it and its replies, even if you wrote it.
If you are Trusted and you cannot see a hidden comment, go to your Edit Profile page and check your preferences. The default is for hidden comments to be off.
But Why Was My Comment Hidden?
Any violation of site rules can cause your comment to be hidden. Typical ones include:
- ad hominem attacks or namecalling
- hate speech
- autoplaying video
- parroting right wing talking points
- advocacy of conspiracy theories
- generally rude behavior
If your comment was hidden, the community basically agrees that your comment was damaging to the site and should not be viewed.

RightSignature Electronic Signature Software Reviews
AppFog is a rapidly growing startup and this means we've got a LOT of legal documents to get signed by folks all over the world. RightSignature has been an absolutely invaluable tool for us to make sure these docs are signed quickly and painlessly – and that we don't lose documents in the paper shuffle during crunch times. I highly recommend RightSignature – it's a brilliant solution to a very difficult problem."

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE RightSignature.com. Contracts, proposals, and other types of signed correspondence are all part of the work we have to do to grow our brand. RightSignature removes the chore of downloading, printing, signing, faxing, blah blah blah. We just upload, and RightSignature does all the legwork. It's like a digital legal assistant! Even attorneys have said that they think it's pretty cool to have a service like this. This website has become part of our business workflow and we cannot be happier about the service!"

RightSignature's features—from my saved signature to the auto-emailed PDF of the signed contract—make the process so simple. I sign most deals remotely from my neighborhood Starbucks, proving the convenience of the application. I think everyone should use RightSignature, as it makes the world's legal matters a bit easier."

RightSignature is my choice over Adobe's Echosign. A simply and easy-to-use interface along with actual instructions on how to create your digital template. When you hover over an item, a detailed explanation pops up. This is where Adobe's Echosign falls completely on it's face! As a new user to electronic document signing, I had a heck of a time trying to figure out how to create a document with Echosign, and I couldn't get a legible signature at all ... RightSignature made signing the document with a mouse easy and my signature looked normal."

- A healthy diet
- Adequate exercise
- Balanced stress levels
- Proper sleep
But as we all know modern life sometimes makes this difficult to attain. We sometimes need a little help.

"What began as a fun and creative project turned into what I felt was an untapped need in the holiday gift market."
Pompano Beach, Florida (PRWEB) November 17, 2016
TraditionsJewishGifts.com, Inc., launches a new collection of interfaith gifts. This is a unique year where both Christmas Eve and the first night of Hanukkah align on the same night and are both celebrated on December 24. This is only the 5th time that this has occurred in the last 100 years. TraditionsJewishGifts.com's exclusive collection of "When Holidays Combine" gifts are ideal for those that are looking for a December holiday gift for friends and families that come from different religions and celebrate both Christmas and Hanukkah in their homes.
The new collection of gifts includes Hanukkah Menorahs with Christmas Tree designs and festive multi-colored metallic Hanukkah candles to enhance the holiday look. TraditionsJewishGifts.com's owner, Wendy Gordon, has designed a convertible image of a Christmas Tree that reflects into a Hanukkah Menorah that when flipped is a Hanukkah Menorah that reflects into a Christmas Tree. This exclusive image can be found on coffee mugs, hot chocolate cans, pillar candles, greeting cards, Christmas tree ornaments and more.
The "When Holidays Combine" gift collection has been specially curated by Wendy Gordon. Her inspiration behind the creation of these exclusive gifts was at first the rarity of both the first night of Hanukkah and Christmas Eve falling on the same night After extensive research on the subject, she realized that many families celebrate both holidays and that this was not only a gift idea for 2016, but gifts that interfaith families could enjoy each year when they celebrate the December holidays. Wendy says; "What began as a fun and creative project turned into what I felt was an untapped need in the holiday gift market."
While Wendy understands that many people feel strongly either for or against celebrating both Hanukkah and Christmas together, she feels that it is important for each family to celebrate the holidays as they see fit. She understands that an interfaith holiday celebration is a sensitive topic for many people and says, "It is not for me to judge how people choose to celebrate their holidays." Wendy wishes for religious tolerance and understanding, no matter how people decide to observe their holidays.
About TraditionsJewishGifts.com, Inc
TraditionsJewishGifts.com's website was launched in 2002. It is the online extension of Traditions Judaica Gifts store, located at the Festival Market in South Florida's Pompano Beach. This family owned and operated Jewish gift store is celebrating their 25th year in business. The business was founded on the same Jewish traditions that the Gordon family celebrates with their customers daily.

On Monday, California Gov. Jerry Brown said climate change has made the state more susceptible than ever to fires that could devastate the state.
Speaking at Cal Fire's aviation facility, Brown claimed, "Our climate is changing. The weather is becoming more intense. Fire season has grown over the last four years. It's gotten longer and larger. The big issue: How do we adapt? Adapting is going to be very, very expensive."
Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott agreed that time was of the essence, saying, "It's time to prepare your home for wildfires. The time was actually yesterday." He added that there have been twice the number of wildfires in 2013 than there were in the same period in 2012; almost 23,000 acres have been burned, as opposed to roughly 2,000 by this same time last year.
The state has already spent $221 million fighting fires this year; four of the past six years, emergency fire suppression costs have risen over $220 million. The statewide snowpack water content is only 17 percent of normal. Most of Cal Fire's 50 airplanes and helicopters that are normally resting on the airfield are already out fighting fires.
When a reporter asked Brown if he was going to see the site of the 28,000-acre Springs Fire in Camarillo, Brown replied, "I can't tell you today."

So, what are the top 3 recruitment trends of 2018 that our engineering recruitment agency and employers should be considering this year?
Skills Driving Salaries
Over the recent years, average salaries have flatlined. However, this is predicted to change due to inflation coupled with current extremely high employment rates. Good news for engineers; the biggest rise is expected in the qualified and technical markets! But with Brexit uncertainty and a weakened pound to contend with, comes a reduction in the supply of labour in the industry, so if you're struggling to attract talent, you'll need to be ready to increase your offerings to secure the best candidates.
New Jobs – New Way of Thinking
Increasing specialisation in engineering markets, new job titles pop up and our engineering recruitment consultancy must use different approaches to secure the best people. With these new titles comes new tools and channels within the market at an almost daily rate, so it's important to understand what actually works. By staying in the know with moving markets and adapting thought processes to hiring and retaining staff, employers and recruiters alike can keep up with the changing times and use this to influence their candidate selections.
Technology Needs Talent
With technology advancing at a jaw-dropping pace, it's not uncommon for employers, candidates and recruiters to worry about how intelligent machinery could impact their respective industries- especially engineering firms. As machine capabilities grow, to reap the benefits of them one thing is for sure, human intelligence is still a must. As with the above, new job titles will be created for those manning such technology so ensuring your candidates are technologically adept and forward thinking, as well as reassuring them of their value, is vital in retaining strong staff.

....even if you don't 'get' what Employee Engagement is.
What actually is Employee Engagement anyway?
Whether you're an Engineering Director who fully understands the concept of employee engagement or think you simply just don't have time for it whilst running a busy engineering firm, either way, Employee Engagement is a term used increasingly within not only large business but also SME's.
In a nutshell, it: "is a workplace approach resulting in the right conditions for all members of an organisation to give of their best each day, committed to their organisation's goals and values, motivated to contribute to organisational success, with an enhanced sense of their own well-being."*
Here are 13 tips you can implement to increase your staff's happiness.
1. Clarifying goals and objectives from the outset with each staff member is imperative. If they understand what their job role is, they will be far happier. A lot of employee dissatisfaction comes from not clearly defining what each person's role is and what duties fall within their role.
2. Why not hold a weekly meeting promoting the biggest achievements of the week? If this is tricky timewise, send an email to everyone at the end of the week. This will inform the staff of the highs of the week, ready to start work on Monday from a positive angle.
3. Social events are a great way for staff to interact and build relationships outside of the shop floor in a more relaxed environment. Whether it's a quick drink after work each month on pay day, to lunches with the Managers when targets are met, right through to big Christmas Parties, off-site events build stronger teams and people in different departments get to interact when they otherwise may not outside of the working environment.
'Fuel motivation and have an employee of the month'
4. Have an 'employee of the month' and get everyone to vote for their colleagues. Give the winner a certificate and a prize and announce it in front of the teams. People like to be recognised for a doing a great job in front of their peers whilst fueling motivation.
5. Extra day's off, duvet days, or afternoon's off. Whatever your business calls them - being able to earn an extra day off is a fantastic incentive which will vastly appeal to some staff. Plus you have the added bonus it doesn't cost your business any cash. Letting staff have their birthday off ( or maybe the day after, if they like to celebrate) is a thoughtful gesture.
'Encourage an open door policy - or maybe an anonymous suggestion box'
6. Create an environment where you encourage people to speak up and know that they will not be judged or criticised. By having an open door policy staff are more likely to speak their mind and who knows, some fantastic ideas may come from them.
7. Encourage health, fitness and good eating habits in the workplace. This can be small gestures from providing fresh fruit for staff to have access to throughout the day, fresh filtered water, to gym memberships. If you can't stretch to whole gym memberships perhaps talk to a local gym and agree on a group discount?
8. Being mindful of staff and their stress levels are also increasingly important. Organise a meditation group or bring in massage therapists for the afternoon, are all gestures that could reduce your staff's anxiety and keep stress levels to a minimum.
9. Celebrate work anniversaries - 'Jim, you've been here how long? Congratulations here's a bottle of bubbly." Also looks great posted on your social media pages too.
'Support a local charity'
10. Nominate a local charity and come up with ideas of how you can support them by raising funds. Perhaps choose a local charity that you can build a relationship with. A local homeless charity, food bank or hospice. Ask staff to vote for a charity they feel they would like to support.
11. Arrange for an ice-cream van to turn up at your premises - who doesn't love ice-cream?
12.Holding an awards night is a fantastic way to recognise staff for their efforts throughout the year. You can be creative with the categories as you like and even get your staff to vote for each other. You can hold it at your place of work or go all out and hire somewhere and turn it into a real party!
13. Simply saying 'Thank you' sounds obvious but goes along way. Saying thank you for a job well done should never be underestimated.
Keeping your employees engaged is key to a content and productive workforce where ideas thrive and staff are genuinely happy in their work environment.

Phoebe is a minor character in Crystal Story II, who was a main character in the first Crystal Story. She is a member of Mercenary Inc. She uses hammers and her element is Earth. Phoebe has a crazy obsession over hammers. She also tags along with the party during certain parts of the game and helps out in some battles.
Phoebe loves her hammer and enjoys swinging it around. She constantly talks loudly, and this is revealed to be because her SHIFT key is broken (breaking the fourth wall, as a keyboard is required to type her messages into the game). Whenever she gets the chance, she often comes up with wild ideas to bop someone/something on the head with her hammer. She is impulsive and excitable, and Lina seems to acknowledge that she would attack the guardian of the Orcracle after Phoebe tells the guardian that she will attack him and D questions if she really will.
Role in gameEdit
When D says he needs to find the oracle, Tristam introduces him to Phoebe, who joins the party as they go through Orc Isle to find the Orcracle. She shortly abandons D when he begins his chat with the oracle.
Phoebe has 320 HP and 35 MP.
Phoebe has the following spells:
- Bash
- Attack Up All
- Heal
- Heal All
- Earth I
- Quake I
Later, when the party splits up in Crystalia, D is pulled over by Phoebe, because apparently "green girl" (Lina) has broken one of the Mercenary Inc. rules: You must notify Mercenary Inc. before you accept a mission. Phoebe then accounts D for Lina's crimes and forces him to help her go to Light Tower for a mission to remove Rock from the premises. Once again, she abandons D after beating Rock.
At this stage, Phoebe has 900 HP and 50 MP. She has the following spells:
- Bash
- Attack Up All
- Heal
- Heal All
- Earth II
- Quake I
- Concentrate
Phoebe has short red hair, a yellow tank top dress with a green stripe, a brown-yellow saddle bag, brown boots, and a grey hammer. Her skin is lightly tanned and her eyes are brown. Also, most of the time she is shown with a mischievous look.
Character Info (from Crystal Story)Edit
Cheerful Phoebe really loves her hammer. She enjoys swinging it all the time and hitting things with it. Her CAPS LOCK key isn't broken, her SHIFT key is.
- Unlike in the first Crystal Story Phoebe's name box in cutscenes refers to her by using her name in all caps, due to the fact that she talks using all caps.
- By the apparent old age of all of the other returning protagonists, players can easily be fooled into thinking that a length of time has past since the prequel, though this is contradicted as Phoebe's appearance is quite close to her appearance in the original Crystal Story. This is later partially explained in the cut-scene at the Landing, where it is mentioned by Lina that the events of the original Crystal Story occurred only two years before the events of Crystal Story II.[1]
- Phoebe's most likely successor of the sequel game is Lina, though Mari can also be the successor due to the slot of the character in the party and the Earth element.
- During her second appearance as a party member, she mentioned that "the green girl (Lina) has broken the Merc Inc. rules number 6.78", and D has to acompany her to do her task as a punishment. The number 6.78 could be a reference to the biggest Patch updates from one of the well-known MOBA game DOTA 2,

Cannon turns 5
Cannon turned 5 today. This morning was a sad because we had to say goodbye to Grandma Sherry but we had a great party in the evening. We had a blowup slide and bounce house. I think we ended up with over 25 kids. We also had a bbq and cake and rootbeer floats. Cannon got spoiled rotten. He got so much amazing stuff. Then the night ended with a great game of baseball between a bunch of the boys and then a sleepover. So much fun. Even though this kids is definately my greatest challenge, I love him so much and am thankful for the great little boy he is!

Eye Splicing of 3-Strand Rope
The loop formed by a well made eye splice maintains 90% or more of the original strength of the rope. Now I'd like to specify how to make eye splice well .
(1) Count back and unlay 5 rounds of the lay of the rope(Ref PIC 1 and 2).
(2) Fan the unlayed end of the rope and place it over the standing part of the rope. The strand to the inside of the eye must look like it is coming out from under the other two strands and the other two strands must be fanned in such a way that they do not cross each other.(Ref PIC2)
(3) While holding the inside strand in place, stick the middle strand under one of the strands of the standing end of the rope.(Ref PIC 3)
(4) Pass the inside strand over the standing end strand and stick it under the next standing end
strand. [NOTE] The second strand goes in where the first strand came out. (Ref PIC 4)
(5) Turn the splice over.
(6) Stick the third strand under the remaining strand of the standing end. [NOTE] The third strand is stuck in where the second strand came out and comes out where the first strand went in. [NOTE] When the third strand is stuck it appears to go backward but when it is examined closely you will see that it is stuck in the same direction as the other two strands. Complete the splice by working the strands snug and adding 3 to 5 of tucks. ( Ref PIC5.6 )

On February 21st, 2017 the Smolny campus of SPbSU hosted a meeting between SPbSU bachelor and master International Relations students and the Belgian Ambassador to Russia Mr. Jean-Arthur Regibeau.
The meeting was dedicated primarily to the Russian-Belgian relations, especially the cooperation in the educational domain.
The Ambassador highlighted the importance of students participating in various international exchange programs. Mr. Regibeau's advice is based on his personal experience: the Ambassador received his IR degree outside Belgium, in the University of Bologna, Italy. Mr. Regibeau voiced his hope one day exchange programs would be available for professors as well.
The students had a rare opportunity to get a first-hand insight into the inner workings of Belgian diplomacy, including the decision-making process. The Ambassador stressed the decisive meaning of international law for the relations between countries as well as the adherence of Belgium to the European integration core principles.
Furthermore, the Ambassador expressed his condolences to the Russian people regarding the death of Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin.
Among of the meeting organizers was Dmitrii Nikolayevich Baryshnikov, Ph.D. in Political Science, Associate Professor of the Department of World Politics at SPbSU.
The press release was written by Viktoria Kuzmenko, SPbSU International Relations 3rd year bachelor student.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
It's been about 13 years since I recovered from my eating disorder. For about two years I went through everything, from periods of not eating, to binging and on rare occasion, purging — and I thank my lucky stars I got out of that hell every single day.
An eating disorder is not an easy plight: you don't need to drink alcohol to live, but you damn well need to eat if you want to stay alive. Food is everywhere and unavoidable. When you struggle with an eating disorder it can feel like you're a prisoner to your body...so essentially, you're dating or married to a "trapped" person in chains. If you happen to love a person with an eating disorder I say to you now: Be patient, good luck, and here's what you need to know:
1. We're not trying to please you
An eating disorder is not about trying to look good for a partner. Oh no. Nope. Don't get your ego thinking that. An eating disorder is all about control and often self-hatred/issues of self-esteem. For me, I felt as if I had very little control of life and I just started dealing with issues stemming from the time I was raped as a teenager.
Pair that with a deep feeling of insecurity and shame from post-traumatic memories along with repressed feelings and BAM: I was in eating disorder hell. Your partner is not starving themselves or binging and purging because they want to be perfect for you — they want to be perfect for themselves and perfectly controlled! And by the way: Until that eating disorder is conquered, they will never drop that false belief of perfection.
2. We set up insane goals for ourselves
If I can just be this weight or that size or look like this instead of this. These are the little twisted narratives that people with eating disorders will tell themselves. When you're in the trenches of an eating disorder, you set up these insane goals for yourself and then when you reach these "goals" you're still not happy!
"If I only weigh 99 pounds I will feel great!" You hit 99 and do you feel thin enough?
Nope! You're not good enough because you're still not perfect. Sure, we know intellectually that no one is perfect, but our brains aren't functioning how they should and so our minds keep telling us: Keep doing this until you're perfect. The problem with that is we'll never be perfect enough! When you love a person with an eating disorder you're holding the hand of a person who will never measure up enough in their eyes, even if they does in yours.
3. We are married to control
I'm bringing it back to this one powerful word: control.
Your partner is married to control. They want things to happen in a predictable way. They want to have the reigns over everything in their life but most especially, food. When they feel anxious about anything in their lives whether it's a job change, move, health issue, fight with a friend or even you, their eating disorder will rear its ugly head.
If you think you've met a disciplined person before, think again. An eating disorder takes discipline and control to a whole other playing field.
4. It takes us years to bottom out
Bottoming out in an eating disorder is just as hard as with drugs. There is never a time in which an anorexic or person struggling with bulimia says, "Yes, now I am the perfect weight and can stop this nonsense."
It takes years for folks to bottom out and seek help. For me, I was an exception in that there was no defining event that stopped me from my eating disorder. It simply seemed to trickle away as I found other ways to cope with my feelings of anxiety, depression, and past abuse.Sometimes my other coping mechanisms weren't so great either, but eventually, I started to learn new ones thanks to therapy, maturity, and self-evaluation.
When I'm stressed, I find myself having to talk down that evil little eating disorder voice that wants to rear its vicious head when I'm anxious or sad. Thankfully, I can squash that whisper in my ear, but it's hard.If I had to pin down one moment that made me stop and question what I was doing it would be this: While filming for a television shoot, I had to stop every hour on the other to take a dump.
Because I had been severely restricting my calories for a few months and was starving so I went on a binge the night before. Realizing I had eaten "like a pig" (which honestly was probably equal to a little over someone else's regular dinner out), I took laxatives and tried to puke.
It disrupted the whole day of the shoot, but I shook it off and figured I would stay away from laxatives … for a while. Then two months later, my boss told me I needed to get help and I knew she was right.
5. We may avoid sex and intimacy due to shame over our distorted body image
Some people may also unhealthily cope with past sexual abuse through an eating disorder. Don't be surprised if the person you love says "No thanks, honey" to sex more often than not. On the flip side, your partner may be extremely sexual. They may use sex as a numbing tool in order to cope with their bad feelings about themselves.
By the way: If you think that if you tell them they're too thin when you're in bed together thinking they might fatten up for you, think again. Why? Well …
6. Don't tell us we're too thin
You're in love with a person and you tell them they're too thin thinking your great care and concern will keep her from eating just one grape for dinner tonight. Yup that's right: just one lonely grape.
Nope, it won't work.
The more you tell them they're so thin, the more they'll be compelled to race to their delusional idea of perfection: the thinnest woman alive!
7. In fact, don't mention our weight. Period
What if they're bulimic? Well, if you tell them they've lost weight, they just might burst with excitement determined to not binge again until they binge again, only to feel ashamed and defeated.
After weeks of eating a maximum of 1,000 calories while exercising like a fiend, I would give in to a binge.The binges were orgasmic — sometimes better than sex (another harsh truth) and every single bite of food felt like someone was going down on me. Heaven at each morsel.
But the feelings after the binge? Dreadful. I felt like the biggest piece of crap on the face of the earth. How did I do that? Did I want to become a disgusting fat pig? Wow, what a big loser I am. Don't mention weight, period. It won't get you anywhere good. Trust me.
8. Encourage us to get help
If your partner is dealing with an eating disorder, encourage her to get help.
If it takes an intervention, do it.
Gather all their loved ones around and collect some treatment plan options so they have less of a chance to back out. You should however be prepared for them to refuse treatment. If they're not ready, it won't work and if they're not ready, perhaps you need to consider how intimately involved you want to be with them.

Initial results of five-star ratings: Nonprofit nursing homes deliver better care, analysis shows
Bruce Yarwood, AHCA CEO
A total of 27% of for-profit facilities received one star, compared with 13% of non-profits, and 19% of non-profits received a five star rating, compared with 9% of for-profits, USA Today found. Many for-profit facilities have low staffing numbers, which could affect their rating, according to USA Today. Nearly 16,000 nursing homes nationwide have been rated on the Department of Health and Human Services' Web site www.medicare.gov/nhcompare.
Meanwhile, nursing home advocates have continued to speak out against the new system. American Health Care Association president and CEO Bruce Yarwood said Thursday that the new five-star system will not achieve its goal of providing better tools to consumers nationwide because it is based on a flawed survey system.

How about just making sure the existing documentation is correct and up to date for now. That will get you familiar with what exists and you can just go on from there adding or changing things.

These contexts are defined in the partition definitions within the server's configuration. However it seems to me like you're using a very very old version of the LDAP server. Please switch to the RC. I assure you its worth doing so. 0.9 is older than Egypt. Take a look inside the server.xml file ... use one of the installers and just cd into the conf directory. There you'll find it. There should be an example.com partition. Cheers, Alex

Strange, these coincidences. I've recently been reading Snow, a recent novel by Nobel Prize winning Turkish author Orhan Pamuk.
Turkey's precarious place on the threshold of East and West is one of the most interesting current geopolitical issues. How will the country reconcile its identity as a 'secular' Islamic state with its prospective membership of the European Community? Will something have to give? Pamuk has been acclaimed for his imaginative meditations on this issue in his award-winning novels.
Then yesterday, Douglas McLennan's Arts Journal digest included a link to Peter Schjeldahl's recent New Yorker piece on the 2007 Istanbul Biennial.
Schjeldahl is very good on the "shallow, frantic" nature of contemporary art biennials and the "yuppie-ish, wine-swilling social milieu" around which they revolve. One doesn't get much sense from his piece of the quality of the art on show, but then these colossal, masturbatory, incontinent art jamborees resist cogent description and are unworthy of intelligent criticism in my opinion. Nor are they really about art, although quite what they're about nobody seems able to say.
But I guess if your publication is prepared to sponsor an expenses paid trip to Istanbul, you would, if you're wise, choose to spend a certain amount of your available time as Schjeldahl did, soaking up the numinous attractions of the Süleymaniye mosque rather than necking booze with odious corporate art sponsors at the 'main event'.
Such carnal pleasures were certainly denied to Michael Dickinson — "the Istanbul representative of the Stuckism International art movement" (whatever that means) — who is currently 'stuck' in an Instanbul jail awaiting trial. Which brings me to the third Turkey-related trimming to tumble into my inbox over the past 24 hours.
This morning I was copied on an email from Charles Thomson, a founder-member of the Stuckists. The members of this loose affiliation of superannuated chip-on-the-shoulder Sunday painters are still whingeing about the state of the Turner Prize and what they see as a Serotacratic conceptualist conspiracy at the heart of British visual culture. Excuse me while I take forty winks.
[40 minutes later...]
Where was I? Ah, yes. Thomson has taken up the cause of his fellow-Stuckist, who was locked up for making a collage depicting Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan as a dog on a stars-and-stripes lead, eating dollar bills. It seems that Mr Dickinson could be rewarded with a two- to three-year stretch in jail (cue Giorgio Moroder theme tune) for his ill-advised 'satirical' swipe at the Turkish PM.
The Stuckists have never been the most intelligent purveyors of social and political comment, as Dickinson's offending collage, entitled Good Boy, makes clear. I'm sorry, try as I might, I can't take this seriously. Why on earth do the Stuckists need an, er, "Istanbul representative" when their founding beef is with the British arts establishment?
Thomson has now written to Gordon Brown to ask for the PM's intervention. I can see Gordon wrestling with this in Cabinet. Call a General Election, lobby Turkey for the liberation of Michael Dickinson, or have another shortbread biscuit? Decisions, decisions...
