If you are a mental health professional, or are studying to be one, chances are good that you already own David Barlows Clinical Handbook of Psychological Disorders. The book, now in its third edition, features well-established treatment protocols for fourteen of the most commonly encountered psychological disorders.
New to this edition are three protocols: interpersonal psychotherapy for depression, cocaine dependence and bipolar disorder, each reflecting recent developments in the clinical intervention for these disorders. There is also a more extensive coverage of alcohol dependence and sexual dysfunction than in previous editions.
The chapters are written by prominent clinicians and researchers who relate their scientific and practical expertise on the conceptualization, assessment, and therapeutic intervention for these disorders. Chapters typically provide a brief description of the pathology, an explanation of the model or theory that guides the particular treatment, an explanation of the typical setting and social context for treatment, and finally, a detailed step-by-step treatment protocol, sometimes accompanied by transcripts from therapy sessions and various forms and schedules useful in clinical practice. Whenever possible, empirical evidence for the efficacy of these protocols, and clinical predictors of its success or failure are also included.
Clinical vignettes hold the readers attention between semi-technical accounts of theory and treatment protocol. The chapters are clear, concise and even accessible to some non-professionals. Patients and their families, who are looking to familiarize themselves with a particular therapeutic process, may find this book helpful. This degree of accessibility is hard to come by in similar handbooks on psychotherapy, and for this reason, it is widely used as a textbook for incoming graduate students of clinical psychology. Despite this fact, even the most experienced of therapists will find plenty to incorporate into their clinical practice.

Photo Gallery: Deadly bus crash
YUCAIPA — What started out as a day of fun in the snow for a large group of friends and families turned tragic when at least eight people were killed and nearly two dozen were injured when a bus carrying the group from Tijuana overturned on its way back from Big Bear Lake on Highway 38 north of Yucaipa on Sunday night.
"It happened so fast I don't know how it all happened," said a passenger who declined to give her name. "This was supposed to be a good day out with my companions and then this happened."
Authorities reported 15 people suffered major injuries and seven others sustained moderate to mild injuries. Officials confirmed that at least two children were taken to Loma Linda University Medical Center.
Good Samaritans stopped immediately after the crash to help the injured and those trapped inside the bus.
Several wounded walked around the crash site in a daze still trying to make sense of what had just taking place.
Officials from the National Transportation Safety Board were making their way to the crash site Monday morning, officials said.
Numerous 9-1-1 calls began to flood the California Highway Patrol and the San Bernardino County fire dispatch center around 6:30 p.m., reporting that a large bus had overturned and was blocking Highway 38 near the Mill Creek Ranger Station east of Mentone.
Some passengers were ejected from the bus as it rolled across the highway, according to fire officials.
Both sides of the highway remained closed hours after the crash. Authorities said it would remain closed possibly into Monday evening as an investigation is conducted.
Forty-three people, including at least two children, were involved in the crash – 38 passengers plus the bus driver, and four others from two other vehicles, a pickup truck hauling a small cargo trailer and a compact car, authorities said.
The accident occurred when the bus and the pickup collided, authorities said.
Authorities initially reported 10 people were killed, but the CHP said eight were killed late Sunday night.
Dozens of residents of the Valley of the Falls area were stranded in their vehicles Sunday night. A few decided to try to find other places to stay for the night but several remained in their vehicles waiting to see if they would be allowed to go home.
One couple who have lived in the area for nearly 20 years said the area where the crash took place is very dangerous and over the years they've seen many deadly crashes.
A small bus from San Manuel Bingo and Casino was called to take some of the passengers to their friends and loved ones at various hospitals.
The injured were taken to Redlands Community Hospital, Loma Linda University Medical Center, Arrowhead Regional Medical Center in Colton and other hospitals.
Among the agencies that responded to what was called a county-wide emergency were the San Bernardino County, San Bernardino and Redlands fire departments, Cal Fire from the Highland station, the San Manuel Fire Department, the CHP, the Sheriff's Department and the U.S. Forest Service.

It seems like an age ago I made the trip to the stationary shop with Linda so sort out the invitations. Actually it was April.
When they finally arrived, complete with their beautifully hand-written addressed envelopes – I couldn't wait to send them out.
Like a total sad case I sat up till one in the morning putting them all into the correct envelopes (Spanish ones for the Spanish speakers, and English ones for the Brits – naturally).
Then the next day I rushed off to the post office and spent 30 Euros on stamps. I couldn't get the darn things into the post box fast enough.
That was it – It felt real. The invites were out. So I sat down and just waited for the RSVPs to come rushing in… But it just hasn't happened.
To date I've had about 5 RSVPs – totaling about ten guests. The atmosphere might be a bit flat in our 100-person dining room with that number.
And most of those are from our lovely invitees who are super keen and super excited, and have been telling me from the start they'd be there with bells and whistles on.
Granted, it's only been a couple of weeks since they started dropping through people's letterboxes – so maybe I need to be a bit more patient.
In fact I need to be a lot more patient. After turning to my friend the internet (as I often do with wedding doubts and questions) it seems that this is a common problem. One poor girl was even saying that with two weeks to go before her wedding she only had about 30 of her 200 guests accounted for. Shouldn't she have been phoning them?
I'll admit it, I'm starting to get a bit of wedding paranoia. What if no-one comes? What if I have to bring my dog and invite my favourite bus driver just to stop it looking sad and lonely?
I know that a lot of our invitees just assume we know they'll definitely be there, so they don't need to RSVP.
But there are some who've said they're not sure if they can make it – and I bet it's those ones who remain all quiet on the reply front.
I totally understand that times are tough and weddings are expensive – and people might be waiting to see if they can scrape together enough cash. But one way or another I really need to know.
The big problem for us is that that we've provisionally booked hotel rooms for guests coming from abroad (which are a sizeable amount). So we need to firm up who won't be needing them, or start inviting people on the b list to take their place.
But I how do I get people to commit or politely decline?
We tried to make it as easy as possible for people to RSVP – I put my email and phone number on the invites so people don't have to bother posting a reply card. Hopefully that will help. Fingers crossed anyway.
I've heard people say that waiting for the RSVPs is one of the most stressful parts of planning a wedding – I think they might be right.
I look back at all the times I've been a bad guest – leaving it really late in replying. In one case I think I didn't even reply at all, and just thought 'Oh they'll just assume I'm not coming'.
Oh how I would like to go back in time and give myself a good Chinese burn for being so rude.
I vow, from this day forward to be a prompt RSVP-er – I had no idea just how much grief it can cause!

Garden Theatre is building a reputation as a place that hosts quality productions by other companies — TheatreWorks Florida's "Little Shop of Horrors" and Beth Marshall Presents' "The Diviners," to name two from this season. That reputation will be further enhanced with its current offering, a funny, polished production of "The Foreigner" by Jester Theater Company.
"The Foreigner" is a staple of community-theater groups, but in the hands of director Jay Hopkins the comedy has been given fresh bounce — thanks in large part to the appealing cast.
At the start of "The Foreigner," a shy Englishman named Charlie (Keith Smith) is dropped off by his friend Froggy (Bill Warriner) at a guesthouse for a three-day stay. Charlie is down on life, down on himself and just wants to be left alone. This opening sequence is the only real wobble in Jester's production: Smith seems more shell-shocked than depressed or shy, and there's no undercurrent of the desperation that Charlie feels about his situation.
But from there, things quickly improve for the production (as well as Charlie): Froggy hatches a scheme that Charlie should pretend to be a foreigner who doesn't speak English; that way he'll be left alone. But instead he becomes the center of attention, and Smith comes into his own as Charlie begins to carve a new life for himself as "The Foreigner."
Perhaps there's a deeper message in the story about how we can all become the person we want to be — and Smith's demeanor as the wide-eyed Charlie reflects that idea as Charlie's confidence grows to funnily epic proportions — but Jester's production doesn't let anything get in way of the show's many comic moments.
Much of the comedy comes from the strength of the other actors. Elizabeth Murff, who so often shines in roles with some edge to them, here is delightfully all dither and sweetness as the guesthouse's goodhearted proprietor, Betty. Will Hagaman offhandedly makes simpleton Ellard endearing, and Warriner is a bundle of bluster as effusive Froggy.
Two newcomers to Central Florida theater leave good impressions, too: Gemma Fearn as a Southern belle is hampered at first by Larry Shue's script, which makes her character of Catherine unlikeable. But she has fun with Catherine's snippiness: "You two up for a game of Scrabble later?" she drawls at dim bulb Ellard and non-speaking Charlie.
Brett Waldon, with a zealot's grin and perfectly parted hair, oozes Southern charm as Catherine's fiancé, a preacher. He pitches his character perfectly to make later revelations shocking — and is a study in comic exasperation by play's end.
Don Fowler's Owen, a redneck good ol' boy of the worst kind, veers a bit close to cartoonish at times, but that helps take the edge off his villainy and keep a lighter tone for the otherwise silly comedy.
All in all: Solid laughs in a solid production.

NU Online News Service, March 30, 3:10 p.m. EDT
NEW YORK—Microinsurance is not an act of charity but a business model that can pay insurers real dividends while helping the impoverished climb back from natural catastrophes, says the chairman of America for Swiss Re.
Speaking last night during a benefit gala to honor the reinsurance carrier Swiss Re for its involvement in the microinsurance program run by Fonkoze in Haiti, Walter Bell, chairman of Swiss Re America Holding Corp., representing Swiss Re, says that the economic culture in Haiti posed a challenge to a company trained in writing policies within a complex business environment.
"We view microinsurance not just as a charitable piece of our philanthropy; we view it as part of a core business strategy," he says.
He emphasizes that Swiss Re's work in Haiti developed a new business model to provide property and casualty insurance in developing countries.
The strategic relationship formed between Swiss Re, with its resources, and Fonkoze, which had built the appropriate distribution channels, is a "global-private partnership team" which can link with governments, non-government organizations and microfinance institutions.
"We know that when we help vulnerable communities, we fight hunger, build resistance to climate change, reduce the cost of natural disasters, and get people back on their feet as soon as possible," states Bell, adding that Fonkoze helped entrepreneurs remain solvent after rebuilding their businesses.
Microinsurance and microfinance are programs aimed at providing loans and insurance programs to people in developing countries at a cost that is affordable to them.
Fonkoze, adult education and microfinance provider in Haiti reaches 275,000 families, honored Swiss Re at its 2012 Global Partner of the Year gala for financing and piloting an innovative catastrophe bond product in the disaster-ridden country.
Also honored was Yeardley Smith, American actress known for her voice-over work as Lisa Simpson. She was the recipient of the 2012 Solidarity Award for her work and charitable contributions to the organization.
The theme of the evening was that a sustainable business plan directed by experienced risk managers, not charitable donations aimed independently of one another, can truly help people pull themselves out of poverty in the wake of disaster.
Anne Hastings, CEO of financial arm Sèvis Finansye Fonkoze, notes that Haiti had been hit by an unusually vicious decade of natural catastrophes beginning in 2004 with flooding in Southeast Haiti and four-hurricanes swiping the nation in 2008.
The onset of each event nullified the financial help provided to Haitians by Fonkoze.
"I watched the same person work her way out of poverty three times running," Hastings relates. "She started with a loan of about $30, ended up with a loan of over $1000, and she lost everything."
"After the earthquake, we were ready to begin offering an insurance product that would allow our clients to get the insurance they needed to help them recover," she says.
The program became available shortly after the January 2010 magnitude 7.0 earthquake that destroyed the nation's capital Port-au-Prince. For those participants, it was a blessing because shortly after a torrential downpour flooded the island causing more misery for the populace.
Swiss Re proved its value by paying out more than $1 million in insured losses to participants. It was something Bell calls a rounding error for Swiss Re in terms of losses, but underscored the benefit of the program for those involved.
Under the microinsurance plan, for an initial membership fee of $6 Fonkoze delivered an insurance product that gave one-time cash grants of $125, cancelled a participant's remaining loan balance on the day of the disaster, and immediately offered a new business loan.
According in Hastings, by January of last year each Fonkoze borrower purchased his or her first catastrophic insurance policy for $31 annually that protects loss of property and business merchandise due to hurricanes, wind damage and earthquakes.
Going forward, Fonkoze will continue working with Swiss Re, along with GCM Gallagher Group's risk analytics division Caribbean Risk Managers Limited, Guy Carpenter & Company's GC Micro Risk Solutions, and Mercy Corps, to finance the Microinsurance Catastrophe Risk Organization (MiCRO).
MiCRO is a donor-capitalized insurance vehicle developed by a team of strategic stakeholders to protect entrepreneurs from the economic devastation of natural disasters. It reaches 50,000 clients and promises rapid claim settlement due to disaster through the use of parametric triggers.

After helping Italy win the bronze medal at last month's European championships in Brussels, Erika Fasana told IG that she and her teammates are working with confidence and harmony towards this summer's Olympic Games in London.
"Italy didn't reach any team podium in Euros since 2006, in Volos," said Fasana, who hails from Como in northern Italy. "This year there were lots of expectations on us, and also, my teammates and I wanted to get a good result in the Olympic year."
Fasana said the Italian team that competed in Brussels benefited from a long-term, close relationship. Other members of the team were 2006 world all-around champion Vanessa Ferrari, Francesca Deagostini, Giorgia Campana and Carlotta Ferlito.
"We are used to training in our gyms, so as usual we trained together only the last few days before arriving in Brussels," said Fasana, who trains under coaches Laura Rizzoli (her coach since age 5) and Enrico Casello at Brixia Gymnastics near Milan. "However, we have known each other since we were 10, more or less, so being together and creating a real team in few days was not as difficult as it could seem."
Fasana said unity was the main factor for success in the team final in Brussels, where Italy finished third behind gold medalist Romania and silver medalist Russia.
"The main reason for our medal was the team, first of all," said Fasana, who turned 16 on Feb. 17. "We support each other and were determined to do our best. We were sure that, even if we have to do our routine alone, we always have strong support from all the team, juniors, seniors and all the coaches."
Focus was the second factor that contributed to Italy's solid performance in Brussels, Fasana said.
"We knew that the only way to get a medal was not to make any big mistakes, and we did so," she said. "The senior team did 24 routines without any fall. This was very important, and this is the secret of the success: do your best, keep concentration and don't be scared about the event."
The third contributing factor, Fasana said, was the importance that she and Deagostini placed on the competition, which was their first European senior championship. Fasana praised the unique composition of the 2012 Italian team, which includes gymnasts whose personal strengths and styles complement one another.
"This year the Italian team is composed of both powerful and elegant gymnasts," she said. "Vanessa, Carlotta and I are very powerful, while Elisabetta (Preziosa), Francesca and Giorgia are more elegant. We have beam specialists like Carlotta, Francesca and Elisabetta, bars specialists like Giorgia and Vanessa, and a floor specialist like Vanessa."
Fasana said the Italian team is now working to boost their scores in London. "We have to work hard, obviously," she said. "We want to increase D (difficulty) scores and increase also E (execution) scores."
Fasana, who placed seventh on vault in Brussels and sixth on vault at the Olympic test event in London is January, said she is pleased to lend her talents to the Italian cause. In the team final in Brussels, she earned the third-highest all-around score of the field, behind Russia's Anastasia Grishina (first) and Romania's Larisa Iordache (second).
"I think that my most important contribution to the team is vault," said Fasana, who also helped Italy place first in team standings at the test event. "At the Euros I was the only gymnast on the team to do the all-around in both qualifications and team final. I was very happy about giving my contribution to the team in every apparatus."
Although Fasana is satisfied with her results thus far in 2012, she wants to better them in London.
"I was very happy to reach the vault final in both the test event and Euros," she told IG. "I have to improve the execution of my double-twisting Yurchenko and the D score of the second vault. For the Olympics I am improving in all apparatuses, in particular beam and bars. I hope to go to the Olympics healthy, and to be in the condition to do my best."

Lynn's Calm & Charming Bedroom
Like this entry? Favorite it below!
- Name:
- Lynn
- Location:
- Fairport,
- Division:
- United States
- What do you love about your bedroom?:
- I love the eastern and southern light. Have never had an apartment with great light, did not think I needed it, turns out I do! The eastern window next to the bed has a large fire escape that I have big plans for this spring/summer. For now it is host to many birds. It keeps my cat entertained in a relatively small apartment. I also appreciate the compact size, forcing only the essentials.
- What are your tips for creating a beautiful, healthy and organized bedroom?:
- For me I need zero clutter, calm and charming but not overly done to ensure I actually fall asleep. I love the look of vintage cabin/cottage vacation rentals, you just know that whatever art is displayed there was not a whole lot of thought put into it. It was hung once and there it stayed, forever. Tried to capture a bit of that haphazard random simplicity.
- In modern homes, bedrooms have become more than just a place to sleep; they can be a retreat, a home office, a library, a relaxation zone. What are some ways you make the most of your bedroom?:
- My bedroom is for sleeping and reading, lots of reading. The desk is a sewing table so it doubles as sewing project space. Computer is never in bedroom, it's a low tech quiet zone.

Opened up Skype and what it did tell.
And what to our wondering ears he did say.
Was "let's record tonight and release christmas day".
The caller was familiar and of League he could speak.

We appreciate your support. We'll keep the message clear.
And on that bombshell, we delivered our closers.
We said goodnight, thanks for listening and stay classy, Summoners.

At the end of a keynote interview at the 2013 Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer showed a really interesting side of herself as a manager.
In response to a question about who she saw as a role model, she said she didn't really have one—but that she had gotten a lot of advice, for which she was grateful.
Then she said that she "constantly thinks about who could do a better job" on her management team.
Since joining Yahoo as CEO last summer, she's already replaced the company's COO, CFO, and chief marketing officer, among others.
Even so, Mayer said, "I think about who could be a better COO. I think about who could be a better CFO."
CFO Ken Goldman was sitting in the audience, listening to this exchange.
"Sorry, Ken," Mayer said. "It's just a thought experiment I do."
So far, she pointed out, she hadn't found one.

The incredible sand sculptures of Carl Jara more closely resemble ancient carved marble or surrealist daydreams than they do ordinary sand castles. His giant creations can reach an astounding height of fifteen feet, delightfully dwarfing beach goers and casting shadows across the sand. Jara has won several local, national, and international competitions with his powerful work.
Jara's sculptural content seems to take a cue from his medium; each piece is devastatingly impermanent, fragile and vulnerable in the face of waves and rain. The carefully-constructed form of the sculptures express a similar evanescent quality, appearing as if they might vanish at any moment. The human body is split in two, and the flesh magically loses its materiality, intermingling with draped fabric. Here, bisecting the nude form is as simple unzipping a zipper that lines the torso; in this surreal realm, it appears as though we may shed our physical, mortal bodies like clothing.
And yet, somehow these images suggest a spiritual permanence of the creative self. Though the human figure is shown as transient, and although the artwork will surely vanish with the tides, Jara's body of work hints at an invisible and unknown infinity. A man opens himself, revealing countless tiny selves arranged like Russian dolls. A piece titled Infinity presents a man, a philosopher maybe, holding unending manifestations of his own thought within a large, curved palm. Like grains of sand, we humans will one day be washed away, but in some surreal universe, our identities will be repeated, remembered time and again. (via Colossal)

Memphis-based marketing communications agency archer-malmo continues to grow its ranks.
The agency has made four new hires, including Lukus Blackford as a search engine optimization and analytics specialist, Cary New as a public relations senior account executive, Casey Lissau as associate creative director and Christina Comas as retail marketing account coordinator.
That growth helps illustrate why the agency recently was named to the Inc. 5000 list, a ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. "The Agency Post" also recently put archer-malmo on its Agency 100, a list of the fastest-growing advertising and marketing agencies in the U.S.
Blackford is supporting archer's digital team on SEO projects for all agency clients and social media listening and online reputation for Zoetis.
New spent the last 15 years at Viking Range Corp., where she specialized in corporate and B2B media relations. Most recently, she was the media chairman/director for the Viking Classic PGA Tour Golf Tournament.
Lissau previously was a senior art director at Sullivan Branding. Over the last 10 years, he's also picked up more than 20 regional ADDYs and more than 40 local ADDYs.
Comas will support local marketing activities for all of the Palm Beach Tan corporate markets. She's held marketing department roles with various local organizations, including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and most recently as a marketing coordinator for the Germantown Performing Arts Center.
To absorb growth like this, archer-malmo added space in the Cotton Exchange Building earlier this year. Renovations to new space on the eighth floor and to existing space on the fourth floor were designed with collaboration in mind, and the spaces feature collective, multipurpose workstations.
The agency also added an indoor bike locker and purchased an archer-malmo orange communal bike for employees to use during the work day.

$784 Million in New Transportation Funding to Help Create Jobs and Bolster the Economy
IRVINE – Following last week's announcement of the general obligation bond sales, the California Transportation Commission (CTC) today allocated $784 million in new funding for 61 projects that will help create thousands of jobs bolstering the state's economic recovery - and reduce traffic congestion, repair highways and bridges, and make driving safer for everyone.
Last week's bond sale allowed projects that were delayed or at risk of delay due to lack of funding to move forward to construction. In addition, the bond proceeds will also fund more than 300 ongoing projects through June 2012. The ongoing and newly allocated projects leverage around $11 billion in non-state funds, giving our economy an added boost.
"These projects will allow billions of dollars to flow into construction and produce enormous economic benefits for California," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
The Orange County Transportation Authority was allocated $1 million for intersection improvements at Tustin Avenue and La Palma Avenue in the City of Anaheim to add through lanes and channelized turn movements to relieve congestion and improve operations.
The CTC funding today includes $695 million from Proposition 1B, the 2006 voter-approved transportation bond. To date, the state has allocated more than $9 billion in Proposition 1B funds.
Please see the attached file for more information about all projects that received allocations today.

So it has now been 14 days since I had custom wavefront with intralase lasik and so far the results have been incredible. My left eye is 20/15 but my right eye is not...I can read just fine with it and all but everything is just not as sharp. It is a little disorienting at times mainly because my right eye is the dominant eye, but everything has been going very well. The 24 hr postop was as expected, I am just more concerned that this eye hasn't caught up so to speak.
I have my 3 wk follow up this Wednesday, but has anyone else had this problem resolve on its own. I wouldn't mind do the enhancement (the whole procedure was atraumatic- no pain or discomfort at all). One thing to note is that the redness and blood spots on the left eye have completely resorbed while the red eye is still red. No discomfort or pain, just essentially unchanged (or minimally so) after the procedure.
Does this sound like delayed healing?? I have been using Refresh Plus drops like crazy )probably 5-7 X a day)....actually, that's not that much now that I read it. Anywho, is this normal?
Thanks all

So I just ran into a bit of a challenge, wonder if anyone who has experience with building bars has some advice.
The challenge is to tie the depower rope which goes through the bar to the chickenloop to the bottom of the pull/pull depower strap... I figured there would be a d-ring here but not in this case... any ideas?

Ambulance disguised as Batternberg cake…
A Paramedic crew have recently been sacked in the Yorkshire Ambulance Service area after refusing to attend a 999 call. The reason…? They had not had a break for 6 hours! Details are still a bit sketchy as they have gone to appeal.
A report by the BBC details the main facts surrounding the incident.
It is a Cardinal sin to refuse a 999 call in the ambulance service. We,ve all done it at some time, that is thought about refusing a 3 niner, and we,ve gobbed off to control but we did the job then complained about it. I,m not supporting the dismissal, far from it, and I can understand someone snapping. Also…there is no mention of what the call was, so therefore you could assume it was a numpty job! Both crew members have a fair whack of service between them and I think personally that getting the sack was harsh.
These are my few thoughts on the issue and I have brought in other factors which will hopefully paint a more clearer picture of life on the road. (or maybe not as the case may be).
The Ambulance Service is a demand driven service, so we eat when we can. Sometimes this is not possible even when you are back at station you may be restocking kit/vehicle after a traumatic job or a cardiac arrest. (nothing worse than being caught out at a job with missing kit). So we restock the ambulance first and then refuel ourselves….or try!
Fish & Chips…mmmm! nice!
Look around you next time you are in a restaurant….do you see that man/woman over there with flames coming off the knife & fork as they eat quickly? Chances are he/she will be in the Ambulance Service. Even when you are on a break back at station you still need to stuff the food down your neck in case you get called out before the half hour is up! If I could add up the cost of food that I,ve wasted from leaving/throwing away due to being called out for a job then I,m sure it would be a princely sum!
Dog Burger…lovely!
Getting a break is one thing…having the time to eat properly and chew your food is another. Ambulance crews are noted for having digestion problems and ulcers from poor eating habits. And the food is not healthy either…fish & chips or burgers with coffee or cola as you can at least eat them "in the saddle" if you do get another job before finishing your meal break. I am, by definition, a professional forager. A good Ambulanceman/woman/person/stretcher monkey will always find a cup of tea and a biscuit within a 1.5 mile radius of their vehicle. But we should not have to forage or rely on getting drinks from wards etc.
If you are unfortunate enough to require an Ambulance due to illness/accident, check out the crews uniform. Are there any tell tale signs of crumbs or dried food on their tops/jackets? Is there a dried egg smear across the lower face? Can you hear loud burping noises every now and then when your back is turned? Its not bad manners…its the result of having to wolf down their food. Again….As per usual….Normal state of affairs….Its the way!
Throw into this meal break madness 12 hour shifts and now you are on your way to a very unhealthy lifestyle indeed. (I know some crews prefer 12 hour shifts and if it works for them then fair play.) For me it doesnt work. I work 0700 to 1900hrs day shifts and 1900 to 0700hrs nights shifts. Therefore my breakfast is either very, very early or not at all. And then lunch will be taken at any time other than the normally accepted hours of lunchtime (if at all!). Teatime is none existent as I am out on the road and I dont want to eat when I get back around 1930hrs (thats if we dont get a late job!).
Proper Sleep…I wish…
10 hour shifts suit me as you can organise some of the days meals at home better. 0700-1700hrs/1200-2200hrs/2100-0700hrs. So the shifts are not good when you are hungry. And when you are hungry you get more tired. But the shifts dont allow you enough time to relax and wind down and eat healthily. Therefore fitness levels drop and sickness soars!
Healthy Food…I wish…
All we want is the opportunity to be able to sit down and eat a healthy meal in good order so that the fuel we take inside ourselves will help us better with the demands of the job/shifts/punters etc.
Mrs. Magic & myself on hols…
I wish…

As the calendar turns to an election year here in South Carolina, all the usual political suspects are starting to offer up all the usual political rhetoric to try to win your vote.
One side is telling you our state's current economic forecast is cloudy with a chance of Armageddon, and the other is insisting prosperity, or at least whatever passes for it these days, is right around the corner.
All of which reminds me of the 1980 presidential debate, when Ronald Reagan famously asked the simple question, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" A majority of American voters answered with a resounding "no," and Jimmy Carter was defeated for reelection.
This got me thinking about whether we really are better off - not just this year, or four years ago, but for the long term - say 20 years. So I did a little research and what I found may surprise you - it did me.
Per capita income is the most often used index of how we are doing financially on a personal level. So I looked at the data for the last 20 years from the Bureau of Business & Economic Research. These are the folks responsible for keeping track of such things and they use the same methods and standards from year to year. In short, this is the single best, most impartial measuring stick there is to answer the question, "Are you better off?"
The most recent per capita income data was from April 2013, based on 2012 data - and this is what it said about us here in South Carolina:
• In 2012, our per capita income was $34,266 and ranked 48th. The U.S. average was $42,693.
• Five years before, in 2007, we were at $31,990 and ranked 45th. The U.S. Average was $39,506.
• Five years before that, in 2002, we were at $26,049 and ranked 40th. The U.S. average was $31,481.
• Five years before that, in 1997, we were at $21,287 and ranked 38th. The U.S. average was $25,654.
• And five years before that, in 1992, we were at $17,010 and ranked 43rd. The U.S. average was $20,799.
Over this 20-year period, we started out ranked 43rd, jumped up to 38th and in the last 15 years we have dropped back to 48th. (Thank God for Idaho and Mississippi).
And what of South Carolina's standing relative to the rest of the world? Here, there is more not-so-good news.
The rough global equivalent of per capita income is something called PPP, or purchasing power parity, and it is used to compare and rank each of the countries of the world.
In 1992, South Carolina's per capita income would have ranked us between the Bahamas (23rd) and the UK (24th). Today, we have fallen slightly, as we rank between Israel (25th) and South Korea (26th). Meanwhile, the UK has jumped from 24th to 21st.
So, what is the bottom line? Are we better off than we were five, 10 or 20 years ago? The answer is clearly "no" - not compared to other states, and not compared to the rest of the world.
And if you look at just the national numbers for the last 15 years, the answer isn't just "no," it's "hell no!"
Now, lots of good things are happening in our state and we should all be proud of our accomplishments. But going into the 2014 election year, it's worth looking at where we are, where we've been and where we appear to be headed. And when we do, three things are clear.
We should not accept the status quo, from either political party.
We are gaining speed in the wrong direction.
We can do better.

Edible oil refinery plant manufacturers
1.Edible oil refinery plant manufacturers flow:
2. Crude oil refining process for edible oil refinery plant manufacturers:
⥠Acid reaction process
Oil temperature can be adjusted by screw plate heat exchanger. When the temperature is heated to about 80â, mixing about 85% food grade phosphoric acid into acid reaction tank for reacting.
⥠Neutralization process
In neutralization section, adding alkali liquor with appropriate concentration into the degummed oil which have proper temperature, then degummed oil enters into the centrifugal mixer for mixing.
⥠Washing process
Neutralized oil come from neutralization separator, still contains about 500 ppm soap. During the washing, hot water will absorb the soap and other impurities in oil, then soap and impurities are separated in washing separator.
⥠Vacuum drying section
The neutralization and washing oil come from the washing separator still contains some water which is adverse to the oil stability.
⥠Bleaching process
The main purpose of this process is to remove the pigments in crude oil and the residual soap in the neutralization oil.
⥠Filteration
Miscella mixed by oil and clay from bleaching tower is pumped into decolorizing filter, then enters into fine filter, in which clay and fixed impurities are blocked.
⥠Deodorization process
Deodorization process aims to remove the FFA and low molecular compounds in bleached oil. Entering into the deodorization process, the flow of bleached oil is controlled by a flow controller, and the oil is heated to250-260â through a series of heat exchanger, then the temperature can reach to the condition of deodorizing.
⥠Dewaxing process
Bleached sunflowerseed oil enter into crystallizing tank through heat exchanger and begin the cooling crystallization proces,this process is controlled by the computer through the parameters preestablished,the computer controls temperature of circulating water in the frozen coil to comand cooling speed of the oil,thereby receive the best crystal result.

The Harbaugh brothers are getting most of the attention this week in New Orleans, and the Harbaugh parents even had their own press conference, but a member of the next generation of Harbaughs has managed to keep a low profile.
Jay Harbaugh, the oldest son of 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, is at the Super Bowl working as a coaching intern for the Ravens, where his boss is his uncle, Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh says he's proud of his son but also trying to stay away from him this week because he understands that Jay's job is to do everything he can to help the Ravens beat the 49ers.
"I'm really thankful and proud at the same time that Jay is doing what he loves to do," Jim said of his son. "John being there and hiring him, I hear he's doing a phenomenal job. This week I haven't been talking to him or calling him or anything — sent him a few texts just to tell him how I feel but I don't want people thinking I'm talking to him about the game. I've heard he's done a great job and that means the world."
John Harbaugh said his nephew is doing good work for the Ravens.
"I'm appreciative that Jim allowed Jay to come out," John said. "Maybe that will be our edge, maybe it'll be Jay. He's really good. He's a hard-working guy and he's excited about the game and competing."
As a coaching intern, Jay works with the Ravens' video staff and the strength staff. And on Sunday, he's rooting for the Ravens to beat his dad.

"Solo: A Star Wars Story"
4 out of 5 stars
Director: Ron Howard
Writers: Jonathan Kasdan, Lawrence Kasdan, George Lucas (characters)
Starring: Alden Ehrenreich, Donald Glover, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke
Genre: Action, adventure, fantasy
Rated: PG-13 for sequences of sci-fi action/violence
SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) - Synopsis: An origin tale for the scruffiest of smugglers.
Review: Slightly longer ago in a galaxy far, far away, Han Solo was nothing more than an ambitious street rat. Looking to swindle his way to the top, Han concocts a scam that, like many of Han's plans, fails to result in the intended outcome. Such is the life of the young man who will someday make the Kessel run in less than 12 parsecs.
I know what you've heard and some of it is true. "Solo" had a particularly difficult production that saw original directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller ousted in favor of veteran Ron Howard. Rumors circulated, some fans became nervous and others took it as a sign that producer Kathleen Kennedy wasn't going to let the origin story of one of the most beloved characters of all time fall short of the mark.
I don't know what a Lord and Miller Han Solo film would have looked like. However, I do know that Howard's take on Jonathan and Lawrence Kasdan's script is so enjoyable that you won't find me questioning Kennedy's decision.
Among those initial rumors was the idea that Alden Ehrenreich didn't have the chops to take on Harrison Ford's legacy. Ehrenreich wasn't pulled from obscurity. He had already impressed in a handful of performances including a scene-stealing turn in "Hail, Caesar!" Still, any actor is capable of being miscast and even the most revered actors have been in artistically bankrupt films.
Well, folks, Ehrenreich does just fine. There's a chance that you won't like his interpretation of the character, but it has nothing to do with his abilities as an actor. Certainly, Donald Glover's take on Lando Calrissian steals a few scenes, but the same could be said of Billy Dee Williams. Lando is a great character; it's only right that he gets the spotlight from time to time.
Emilia Clarke's performance as Qi'ras, a scoundrel who always outwits her male companions, is equally impressive. You can't help but hope that we'll be given the chance to learn more about her.
Early rumors coming out of the film's premiere suggested the film had a rocky beginning, but eventually found its stride. I didn't find the exposition to be all that clunky. In fact, the movie kicks off with an enjoyable action sequence that sets the tone for everything that follows. Yes, the deeper we get into the story the more interesting the tale becomes, but that's the nature of storytelling.
"Solo" is a fun ride that should even appease those bitter with the direction that was taken in "The Last Jedi." Then again, some people just want to hate a movie for the sake of being contrarian. You need only look at the audience's scores on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB to find a gathering of people who haven't even watched "Solo" giving the film poor ratings. The actions of the few have essentially rendered audience scores as useless. Congratulations, you've trolled your way into obsoleteness. Who's scruffy looking now, you half-witted nerf-herders?
So, where does "Solo" stack against the post-Lucas releases? "Rogue One" is the best, "The Last Jedi" is the boldest (yes, I'm a fan) and "Solo" is the most enjoyable.
I can't wait to get back in the cockpit with Han and Chewbacca.

The MBTA plans to run a test of later service on weekends, starting this month.
BOSTON — MBTA weekend service into the early morning will start March 28, the Patrick administration plans to announce at a Cambridge subway station Thursday.
"We're excited to see how customers respond. I think the response will be good," Transportation Secretary Richard Davey told the News Service.
The one-year pilot will run subways, trolleys and 15 select bus routes on Fridays and Saturdays, until about 2:30 a.m. depending on the line and the station, Davey said.
The MBTA has sought sponsors for the novel service, and when the administration announced its plans for the late-night service in early December, the Boston Globe had agreed in principle to be a sponsor. Davey said the T has secured a "handful" of donors which will be announced at the Kendall Square event.
Davey said while much has been made of how the late-night service will affect Boston nightlife, there will be an equal benefit for blue collar and service industry workers who get out of work after the T stops running.
The pilot will involve the hiring of about 120 people and cost about $15 million to $20 million before fare revenue and sponsorships are factored in, Davey said.
Boston Mayor Marty Walsh announced a proposal earlier this month to keep bars open past 3 a.m.
"Obviously we hope the service will complement what the mayor's trying to do," Davey said. He said he didn't think Walsh's plan for even later bar service would clash with the MBTA's pilot for keeping trains running later.
While the neighborhood has bloomed with new construction and businesses, Kendall Square businesses have indicated there has not been a commensurate rise in automobile traffic.

As with others who have chosen the East End as an artistic retreat, Rafael Ferrer, 78, who lives in Greenport, made his way here in a circuitous route, one that reflected his own journey in making art.
Beginning on Saturday, Guild Hall will present "Contrabando," an exhibit that started out as an abridged version of a much larger show at El Museo del Barrio in New York last year and ended up being something else entirely.
Esperanza Leon, who acted as guest curator for the exhibit, said she had previously worked with Museo del Barrio and had wanted to work with a Latin American artist. Although Mr. Ferrer said that as a Puerto Rican-born artist he is not technically a Latino, he is quoted in the show's catalog as saying his art has "an accent, one influenced by a Latin temperament."
Mr. Ferrer wrote in an e-mail message that a "Puerto Rican cannot be a Hispanic or a Latino because Puerto Rico is not a sovereign country. Puerto Rico is owned by the United States and remains the oldest colony in the world. So the short answer is that I began and remain an individual artist."
He added, "I first registered in the New York art scene in the 1960s, before ethnicity was introduced. Curiously, my coming-out moment involved ice, leaves, hay, and grease." He was associated early on with process art, and one of the early conceptual pieces that he exhibited with artists such as Robert Morris and Richard Serra used those materials.
"My peers were English speaking and American born. Ethnicity was born with the social upheavals of the 1960s-1970s. Hispanics and Latinos, i.e., individuals from any of the South or Central American republics, joined African-Americans, women, and gay, lesbian, and transgender minorities in the struggle for equal rights and respect."
Mr. Ferrer attended Syracuse University for two years before studying at the University of Puerto Rico. During the summers while he was in school he spent time in California with José Ferrer, his much older half brother, who was a film actor married to Rosemary Clooney, and in Paris, where he met surrealists such as Andre Breton and Wilfredo Lam.
He said that José, who was born in 1912, studied in Switzerland and graduated from Princeton University, where his acting career began and "subtle Waspy racism was perceived but never made an issue of. That was not his nature."
For Mr. Ferrer and his artistic reputation, returning to painting was far more radical than any question of ethnicity. He did so in the early 1970s, which is when the Guild Hall show begins, taking us up to his current works.
"This is a unique show for Guild Hall," Ms. Leon said last week, "nothing to do with the El Museo del Barrio" one, which was a full retrospective. Because the art establishment was more interested in his earlier work, the New York City show "was a revelation for most people." It focused on paintings rather than conceptual pieces, which were documented mostly with photographs.
The focus at Guild Hall is "on paintings and the enormous diversity of objects." Some 50 pieces make up the installation, which will be shown in just one gallery, the others showing work by Drew Shiflett and pieces from the permanent collection.
"The Guild Hall exhibit allows us to show different examples of works that hopefully add in the understanding of the various trajectories," Mr. Ferrer said. "In a sense it has an intimacy not as clearly seen at El Museo."
There will be several smaller pieces and a few monumental paintings, as well as small sculptures, a collection of individual paper bag works (typically faces ranging in style from primitive to early modern), and a large new installation of the artist's blackboard pieces, which have to do with language.
Ms. Leon said she found that the importance of language was key to Mr. Ferrer's work. "He emphasizes a great deal that he is bilingual in Spanish and English." Working on the catalog, which is also bilingual, it became "interesting how things translate. 'Contrabando,' the title, that's him playing between two places of language and culture elements, the official sphere of art and contemporary art. He's always working on the margin somewhere, just outside that center of the art world." He is not an artist who can be pigeonholed, and he's comfortable with that, she added.
The exhibit will open with the other shows at Guild Hall on Saturday with a reception from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
On Nov. 12 at 3 p.m., Mr. Ferrer will speak with Barry Schwabsky, the art critic of The Nation. On Dec. 10 at 3:30 p.m., Edward J. Sullivan, a professor of art history at the Institute of Fine Arts and New York University, will also examine Mr. Ferrer's work with the artist in attendance. The talks are free with museum admission.

I got rid of a bookshelf, and about 300 paper books.
To understand the significance of this, a few things need to be known about me.
1. I collect stuff. Mostly media. Books, magazines, videogames, music, movies. I'm one of those obsessive-compulsive types who acquires all the books an author has written, even the out-of-print stuff. My house is filled with shelves, each loaded with rare stuff, all well-organized and neatly accessible. When other collectors come over, they drool.
2. My oldest and biggest collection is my personal library. I have over five thousand print titles. Many of them autographed. Lots of them hard-to-find.
3. I don't part with things easily. I've got the ownership bug, and once I own something, I want to keep owning it. I'll lend out things to friends, then wind up buying a replacement for myself when I don't get it returned in a timely manner. That empty slot on the wall bugs me until I fill it.
Now, at a few points in my life, I replaced formats. My LPs and cassettes became CDs. My RCA Videodisc collection became VHS, and then DVD and Blu-Ray. These newer formats were improvements over the older ones, so I didn't mind upgrading. Like any collector, I wanted the best.
Then things began to get weird.
I had a wall of CDs. A whole wall of them. After the Herculean task of ripping them to mp3s, I noticed I wasn't listening to the physical CDs anymore. My stereo spent a year gathering dust, because I had good speakers on my computer, and an iPod. That lead to an iPhone, iPad, and auxiliary jacks in my car stereos.
Finally, I embraced Apple Airport, and set-up speakers throughout my home, so I could stream music from my computer to any room using my iPhone and iTunes.
The stereo, and the CDs, went bye-bye.
I still like to collect music. I simply no longer needed the tangible object that held the media (LP, cassette, CD.)
Slowly but surely, the same thing is happening with my movie collection. On each of my TVs I have WD Live Hub devices. These stream video files from my computer. It only takes a few minutes to rip an HD DVD to an mkv or iso file, which then sits on my hard drive and can be watched in any room in the house. It can also be taken when travelling--much easier than taking a stack of CDs.
I became so used to using iTunes as a way to organize my music, I bought a program called Movie Collector to keep track of the movies and TV shows I own. Now I can browse my collection on my computer, or my iPhone. I'm also happy streaming Netflix and Hula from the WD devices.
So my physical music collection is gone, and my physical movie collection may some day be gone.
But I always thought I'd keep all my books. Books are special. There's a much greater emotional attachment to them.
At least, I thought there was.
But, like music and movies, I realized all I really cared about was having a copy available if I needed it. And that copy didn't need to be made of paper, taking up space in my house.
I knew this would happen eventually. I predicted it would, a year and a half ago. (In that past year and a half, it turned out I was right about a lot of stuff, and it's worth following that link and all the links mentioned in that old blog entry because they're more relevant than ever, and they'll likely answer all the objections that come up to this post.)
In that same year and a half, I've bought ten paper books, mostly from my peers when attending their signings.
I've also bought over 200 ebooks. Including many that I already had in paper.
So now I'm doing what I did when I got digital copies of music and movies I already owned--I'm getting rid of the hard copy.
I was shocked at how little this bugged me, to actually give away books. Some of which I've had for decades.
But it was easy. And it won't stop with this first batch.
As I buy more ebooks, I'll get rid of the paper versions.
In some cases, I'm getting rid of the paper versions without having the ebook replacement. Simply knowing I can get the ebook if I need it is enough peace of mind to allow me to let the paper version go.
I've got ComicZeal4 for my iPad, which reads color pdf and cbr files brilliantly. So long to all of my mags and comic books.
Some say that the cloud will eventually replace all ownership. Rather than have a movie or book in your personal collection, it will be available to you whenever you need it, in any format, for a rental fee or as part of your ISP. I'm skeptical about this, because I believe people still do want to own media. But that media doesn't have to be physical. It can be a digital copy.
Correction. It will be a digital copy.
You got rid of your 8-track tapes, and floppy disks, and Betamax. You got rid of your Razr and bought a smart phone. You threw out the tube TV and went with an HD flatscreen. You sold your Atari 2600 at a garage sale for $5, and now play Wii with your family.
The new tech replaces the old tech. Books are just more of the same.
You may not believe me. You may think you'll take your paper books with you to the grave.
Do me a favor, and bookmark this page. Look at it again in 18 months.
You'll see I was right.

Car Review
2013 Mercedes-Benz G550: Overview
What's new: The 2013 Mercedes-Benz G550 is heavily revised for 2013. In addition to new LED lights outside, the interior is completely overhauled, adding a COMAND controller, a new steering wheel and a new center stack.
Pros: Incredible off-road prowess -- possibly the best; boxy styling never seems to get old; finally, a more modern interior graces the G-Class
Cons: Even if you don't get the AMG, the G-Class is pricey; also expensive to run thanks to heft and thirsty engine; even updated interior still looks and feels very old
The Mercedes-Benz G550 is the entry-level version of Mercedes' ultra-luxury G-Class SUV. Born as a German military vehicle in the 1970s, the G-Class (or "G-wagen" for its original name, "Gelandewagen," meaning "off-road vehicle") is now a high-end boulevard cruiser that rarely sees rough roads. But it's supremely capable, thanks to three differential locks and impressive ground clearance.
The original G-Class debuted as the G500 for the 2002 model year. An engine update in 2009 earned it the G550 moniker. Power comes from a 382-horsepower 5.5-liter V8, which is mated to a 7-speed automatic. Zero-to-60 comes in around seven seconds. All G-Class models have full-time 4-wheel drive.
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz G550 starts around $113,000, which makes it one of the most expensive SUVs available. The only SUV with a higher base price is its own high-performance version, the G63 AMG. That model, which is new for the 2013 model year, features a 544-horsepower twin-turbo V8 and reaches 60 mph in around 5.5 seconds.

The Mill River never looked so good.
"It's absolutely changed," said state Sen. Marc Pacheco, D-Taunton.
The Mill River never looked so good.
"It's absolutely changed," said state Sen. Marc Pacheco, D-Taunton.
Pacheco and more than 30 others, representing foundations and funders of the state's Mill River Restoration Project, took a bus tour Wednesday in Taunton of two sites of former dams.
The river project is part of a statewide initiative to remove or repair 1,600 privately owned dams in Massachusetts, not only to restore natural habitats, but to improve public safety.
The first of two Taunton dams was demolished in the summer and fall of 2012. Known as the Hopewell Mills dam, it dated back to 1818 when, like many other privately owned dams in the commonwealth, it was built to provide nearby mills with mechanical power.
The second dam-like structure was taken down this past July. It was a rock-and-dirt spillway further upstream in a section known as Whittenton Pond, adjacent to the Whittenton Mills industrial complex.
That spillway was constructed in 2005, with the help of a non-profit, after the near collapse of the original dam threatened to flood homes and even the city's downtown district.
That event prompted the formation of the Mill River Restoration Project, which has relied heavily on the cooperation and contributions of a myriad of environmentally minded nonprofit groups and foundations.
The state's Division of Ecological Restoration is in charge of the project, the goal of which is to restore Mill River to its original state so that herring, eel and other fish return to what once was their natural habitat.
Officials say a video camera now in place under the water near the Reed & Barton complex has collected data proving that herring are one again swimming back upstream. In addition to its moniker of Silver City, Taunton during the 1880s was known as Herring Town.
The restoration project aims to remove as many as 10 dams within the Taunton River Watershed in the next five years. By doing so, the Taunton River, into which Mill River connects, will fully regain its stature as part of a 30-mile stretch of freshwater extending to Narragansett Bay.
The third and final dam on Mill River that will be safely demolished is the West Britannia Street dam next to Reed & Barton. Officials say that undertaking will have to wait until the summer of 2014.
"The (overall) project is 75 percent done," said Alison Bowden, freshwater program director for The Nature Conservancy.
Bowden said people should not assume that riverbanks that now appear barren and bereft of vegetation will stay that way. She said it takes time for the hundreds of trees and other native vegetation to grow and fill in space surrounding what is now a narrower, winding riverway.
In addition to the West Britannia dam, she said the Barstow dam on Cotley River in East Taunton will be removed next summer. That river also feeds into Taunton River.
The Taunton River Watershed improvement Project also includes dismantling a Freetown dam called Rattlesnake Brook dam, she said.
Bowden said it cost $380,000 for the Whittenton Pond dam portion of the project. She estimates it will cost around $350,000 to take down the West Britannia dam and to plant trees, plants and flower.
The state's Department of Mental Health contributed $100,000 of the $800,000 to remove the Hopewell Mills dam and restore the surrounding area, which has included planting as many as 400 red and silver maple saplings.
Due in part to former Congressman Barney Frank's lobbying efforts, a conservation division of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration contributed $680,000 to the Hopewell Mills dam project.
Pacheco said the Mill River Restoration Project exemplifies the effectiveness of philanthropic groups, private foundations and state and federal grant funding achieving substantial results.
He also noted that successful solicitation of multiple sources of private funding provides leverage for state and federal grant monies.
Bowden noted that large pieces of timber and tree trunks brought to the dam sites will provide "hiding places" for a variety of animals, including turtles and frogs.
Stephen Bernard, who last month was featured in a story in the Taunton Daily Gazette about debris that appeared in his backyard after the water level dropped when Whittenton Pond's spillway was removed, said things have recently improved.
Bernard said construction workers began using their equipment to haul away the junk that was mired in muck on Thursday.
"It's just wonderful," he said of the turn of events.

Bomb Threat Awareness
At HWDSB, we believe all students and staff have the right to learn and work in a safe environment. To do that, it is important that everyone is aware of our Safe Schools policy and procedures to help reduce the risk of harm to students, staff, visitors and facility users in the event of a violent or serious incident.
HWDSB and Hamilton Police Service (HPS) recently updated the procedure for responding to bomb threats. If you or your child become aware of a bomb threat, please contact the Principal immediately. If the Principal can't be reached, call 911. The Principal will work with HPS to assess the situation and follow procedures outlined in the Hamilton Police/School Board Protocol.
All schools have emergency/crisis response plans in place. Schools regularly practice drills to address any emergency situations that might arise. Families can help support these procedures by reinforcing a student's responsibility to follow directions during a crisis and refrain from contacting their child's cellphone during a crisis situation. This will allow communication lines to remain clear during a serious event. Families are also reminded to ensure their child's contact information is updated in the event of an emergency.
By working together, we will continue to keep our schools safe. If you have any questions about school safety, please connect with your school Principal.
