Solana Vista is committed to making our school a safe and caring environment for all students. We will treat each other with respect and refuse to tolerate bullying of any kind.
Resolution with the Target of the Bullying:The student who is bullying may be required to write a letter of apology to the student who was bullied. Depending upon the nature of the incident, the students involved may meet to help resolve the problem and ensure it does not happen again.
Consequences: The student who is bullying may lose school privileges. In cases of serious or repeated bullying, the student may be subject to suspension and/or expulsion. If serious circumstances warrant, law enforcement may also be contacted.
In cases of severe or repeated bullying, the student will be suspended.
The last Friday of each month at 8:30 A.M (weather permitting), all classes gather on the blacktop for a short assembly. This is an opportunity to celebrate school spirit and for the staff to make announcements, give awards and recognize students/classes for positive behavior. Parents are invited to our weekly assemblies.
CAASPP Testing: This assessment is administered in the spring to all students in grade 3. These norm-referenced tests provide information concerning our students' performance as compared with a nationwide set of performance norms. These tests are designed to identify the knowledge and skills that students have acquired in specific content areas at a certain point in time. Language and math are tested and individual student achievement is reported to parents.
Regular Attendance is important for students to be successful learners. Class participation is an integral part of students' learning experiences. When a student is absent, they miss out on the sequence of instruction and must spend extra time catching up upon returning to school. Student attendance is monitored closely. Parents/guardians and students are strongly encouraged to schedule medical appointments during non-school hours.
Absences: When your child is absent because of illness or for a doctor or dental appointment, please call the Absence Line at (858) 794-3751. The law requires that the exact nature of an illness be stated; this type of absence is defined as an excused absence. Students who are absent for 10 or more consecutive days will be withdrawn from the school and the class list. They will be re-entered to the school upon their return. If your child has a pattern of multiple absences, tardies and/or early dismissals, a parent-principal meeting may be scheduled to discuss improved attendance.
Checking In and Out: Students must be checked in and out through the school office when coming in late or leaving early. Students may ONLY be released to those persons designated on their emergency cards. We are unable to make any exceptions. Parents must insure they have listed the names of any individual who may pick up their child in the Contact section on the Parent Portal.
Tardies: Students are considered to be tardy if they are not in the classroom ready to learn at 8:35am. Students tardy to school must obtain a Tardy Admission Slip at the school office before going to their class. Tardies will only be excused for health reasons, family emergencies and justifiable personal reasons, as permitted by law, Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 5113, and Education Code 48205. Punctuality is a measure of responsibility and the Governing Board of Solana Beach School District deems it important that all students learn the value of being punctual.
Early Dismissals: If your child needs to leave before the end of the school day, a parent or guardian must sign the child out at the office. The office will send for the child. Early dismissals will only be excused for health reasons, family emergencies, medical appointments and justifiable personal reasons, as permitted by law, Board Policy and Administrative Regulation 5113 and Education Code 48205.
School Attendance Review Board (SARB): Attendance and tardies are monitored closely throughout the school year. Truancy letters are sent out to students each time they receive three unexcused absences, three tardies or three early dismissals. After nine unexcused absences or nine tardies, a referral may be made to the county Student Attendance Review Board (SARB). SARB is composed of educators and county officials who will review the student's attendance history, interview the parents and student, and make various recommendations to which the parents and student must adhere. If these recommendations are not followed and the student continues to accrue unexcused absences and tardies, SARB can turn the case over to the district attorney's office for legal action.
Afterschool Pickup: Staff supervision ends at 3:00 pm. Students not picked up by 3:00 pm will be directed to the office. Students will be signed in and signed out when they leave. Repetitive late pick-ups will be directed to the Child Development Center (CDC) and may be charged a fee.
Parents are encouraged to attend this event at the beginning of the year. The purpose of the evening is to give teachers an opportunity to share information about the curriculum, class expectations, and learning opportunities for the upcoming school year. This night is for parent/teacher communication, so parents will need to make child care arrangements. Discussion is intended to be general. Conferences for individual concerns should be scheduled for a later time.
Students may be dropped off between 8:15 and 8:30 each morning. Drop-off should occur in front of the playground area where the morning greeter is located. There is a sign on Santa Victoria that states "Begin Passenger Unloading". However, due to the young age of our students and for safety reasons, please only unload in the designated area in front of the playground. Students are not permitted to be on campus before 8:15 a.m. unless they are enrolled in a before school intervention class or CDC. A parent or guardian must stay with their child outside school gates until school supervision begins at 8:15.
Bicycles are to be walked on school premises. Sidewalks must be used in the parking lot areas.
Bicycles must be parked in bike racks and locked.
Only one person per bike.
Bicycle riders must obey the same rules that apply to cars when using the street. The District strongly recommends that children who ride their bikes to school be in grades three through six.
Skateboards or scooters are NOT permitted on the school campus.
While we do not discourage students from bringing mobile devices (including cell phones, watches, Kindles, etc.) to school, these devices may not be used during school hours, unless their class has arranged to have a special technology day or if the teacher has given permission for a student to bring his/her Kindle device to read in the class. All mobile devices should be turned off when students come on campus in the morning and remain in their zipped backpack during the school day. These devices may only be used once students have left the campus. If a personal item, including a mobile device, is lost, broken or stolen, the District will not be responsible for replacing the item.
The Child Development Center (CDC) offers a School-Age Program. In order for children to participate in the CDC School-Age Program, they must be registered with CDC. The CDC hours at Solana Vista are 7:00 a.m. to 8:15 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. AM care is on an "as-needed basis," and the after school care offers full-time, part-time and drop-in schedule options.
Student placements are made with the goal of developing classes whose balance and dynamics contribute to a positive learning environment. To achieve well-balanced classes, we consider academic ability, gender, learning styles, etc.; to help promote positive class dynamics, we consider which students should and should not be placed together.
The Solana Beach Board of Trustees has established a "closed campus" at Solana Vista in the interest of student safety and supervision. Once students arrive on the school grounds, they must remain on campus until the end of the school day. Students who need to leave school before the end of the day need to be checked out in the school office. For the safety of the students at Solana Vista, ALL parents/visitors must sign in at the office when on campus for any reason.
Dress appropriately (i.e. close-toed shoes, no baggy pants, no inappropriate language or signs on clothing, no spaghetti-strapped or midriff tops.
Possessed, sold or furnished firearm, knife, explosive, or other dangerous object.
Possessed, used, sold, furnished or been under the influence of drugs, alcohol, a controlled substance or intoxicant.
Offered, arranged, or negotiated to sell look-alike controlled substances, alcohol, or intoxicants.
Stole or attempted to steal school or private property.
Possessed or used tobacco or product containing tobacco or nicotine.
Committed obscene act or engaged in habitual profanity or vulgarity.
Possessed, offered, arranged, or negotiated to sell any drug paraphernalia.
Disrupted school activities, willfully defied valid school personnel in the performance of their duties.
The purpose of a school-wide DRESS CODE is to establish a school environment that supports a productive academic atmosphere, which supports students' learning and reflects the educational values of the staff and the parents. These standards are consistent with those established by California Education Code and the Solana Beach School District. Please take the time to review this policy with your children.
Any items of clothing or manner of wearing clothing which contribute to the disruption of a productive learning environment and the safe operation of the school.
Footwear: For safety, students must wear closed-toed shoes should have hard soles and can be strapped or tied. Athletic shoes are a good choice and allow students to fully participate in outdoor/physical education activities. Students who wear inappropriate shoes to school will be sent to the nurse's office. Parents will be called to bring in appropriate shoes so that their child may fully participate in recess and PE activities.
Hats, caps, or visors: These are encouraged during recess to protect students from the sun. Students should be reminded that wearing these items is a privilege which may be lost if they become a distraction in the classroom or a problem on the playground.
Students who do not follow the dress code will be sent to the office and parents will be called to bring appropiate replacement items.
This drill is in case of an intruder, stray dog, or any other threat on campus. A staff member notifies students and staff. Teachers lock the doors and close windows. The students move together to a safe spot in the classroom. Teachers take attendance and remain with students. The class waits for further instructions.
The fire alarm sounds. The teacher walks the students to the designated evacuation area. The teacher then takes attendance and waits for further instructions.
The teacher has students "Drop and Cover" (students get to knees away from windows or other dangerous areas and cover heads). Students remain in this position until the office indicates it is time to evacuate. All classes then follow evacuation procedures.
The purpose of homework is to strengthen academic skills, reinforce concepts taught by teachers, develop student responsibility and accountability, and promote parent awareness. Positive results of homework include better retention of factual knowledge, increased understanding of material, improve critical thinking, concept formation and information processing skills, as well as enrichment of the core curriculum. Our goal is to create assignments that promote one or more of these outcomes. We recognize that homework is not the only circumstance under which after-school learning takes place. Many leisure-time activities teach important academic and life skills. We believe in the importance of balancing leisure, learning and family time.
Student's Responsibility: It is the responsibility of the student to record and understand the homework assignment, complete it, and return it to school on the required day.
Parent's Responsibility: It is the responsibility of the parent to set a specific time and place for doing homework and to monitor the student's homework. Parents who have concerns about homework should contact their child's teacher. Parents should provide guidance to students, not answers.
Requests for Homework: Requests for homework should be called in on the Absence Line (858-794-3751) before 10:00 a.m., and can be picked up between 3:00 and 4:00 p.m. that day.
Found items are kept at the coat rack in the Kiva; small or valuable items are kept in a drawer in the school office. After a period of time, items are donated to charity, so please encourage your children to check the lost and found boxes periodically, and label all personal belongings.
The Solana Beach School District takes part in the National Lunch Program. Meals are served every school day. Students may buy lunch for $4.50. Please visit our online prepayment system at https://www.myschoolbucks.com. Eligible students may receive a free or reduced price lunch. A student lunch includes an entrée, choice of 1% low-fat milk or fat free chocolate milk, 100% fruit juice and assortment of fresh and canned fruits and vegetables from our salad bar.
Courtesy Meal: If a student does not have money in hand or on their account, they are able to charge the equivalent to three full price meals. Email alerts are sent twice a week to parents whose child's account is reaching a zero balance or negative. Once the full price student reaches the charge limit the next meal provided is a courtesy meal. Students will continue to be provided a courtesy meal until the account is brought current.
Students may also bring a lunch to school. Lunch delivery from outside vendors is not allowed. For more information about SBSD Child Nutrition Services, visit https://www.sbsd.k12.ca.us/Page/8383.
Be polite and remember your manners.
Raise your hand to use the restroom and get a drink.
Thick mucus or pus draining from eyes.
Upper respiratory infection and/or severe cold, especially if accompanied with green or yellow nasal discharge and/or ear pain. A cough spreads germs, and a cough that keeps a child up at night means they will be too tired to learn the next day.
Immunizations:The California School Immunization law requires that all children entering school receive proper immunizations to protect them from serious illness and to prevent the spread of communicable diseases: polio, measles, rubella, mumps, hepatitis B, varicella (chickenpox), diphtheria, tetanus, haemophilus influenza type b (Hib meningitis), and whooping cough.
Medical Insurance: This is to inform you that the Solana Beach School District does not provide student and athletic accident insurance coverage for students, however, it does make available several insurance coverage plans through Student Insurance, an independent insurance company. The Solana Beach School District takes appropriate steps to protect your child from injury; however, accidents can and do occur, even in safe environments.
Medication at School: If your child is required to take daily or occasional medication during school hours, state law requires a parent/guardian MUST complete a medical form signed by the doctor before the medication can be administered. ALL medication must be stored in the health office. The nurse and/or health aide will be on duty to administer first aid and medications. Medication should never be stored in a student's backpack.
Students are not allowed to bring personal items (such as toys, cards, playground equipment, etc.) from home. If a student brings a personal item to school for an after school activity, the item needs to remain in the student's backpack during school hours. If a personal item is lost, broken, or stolen, the District will not be responsible for replacing the item. There is a no Zuca backpacks permitted on campus.
Don't agree? Go Back to Back, then do Rock, Paper, Scissors!
All food must be consumed by the building, not in any other areas.
Only hit the ball with closed or open hand (no other body parts).
Players may not try take the ball off the rope.
The server's opponent is given a choice of either side of the court on which to play or the direction in which the server will serve the ball.
To start a game, the server hits the ball around the tetherball pole. The ball may be hit with an open or closed hand. As the ball goes around the pole, the server attempts to hit it again and again in the direction of the original serve to wind it around the pole.
The player who winds the rope completely around the pole is the winner.
To start the game, the player in square 4 serves the ball by bouncing it in their square once and then hitting it towards one of the other square. The receiving player then hits the ball to any other player in one of the other squares.
The ball must bounce in another player's square, and they must hit it to another player before it bounces a second time.
If a player hits the ball so that it misses another player's square or fails to hit the ball before the second bounce after it landed in their square they are "out" and they must go to the end of the line if there are multiple players or to square 1 if there are only 4 players.
Players line up one behind another behind the free throw line. First two players in line each get a basketball.
When the game starts, the first player will shoot a free throw, if the shot goes in, the player will rebound the ball and pass it to the next person in line (without a ball). If the shot is missed, the player will retrieve the ball and he can shoot from any position he likes until he gets it in the basket.
The next player in line is allowed to shoot a free throw once the previous player's ball hits the rim or the backboard. If the player misses, the next player's aim is to get his/her shot in the basket before his opponent does. If this happens, then the player is out of the game.
This continues until there are only 2 players left. At this point, the 2 players will both put their basketballs on the corner of the free throw line. On the count of three, they will run to get the other player's ball and shoot. Whoever gets the shot in first wins.
For safety reasons, this modified version eliminates the mosh pit, eliminates the need to extend the foul shot line, and eliminates the bump out option.
To support student safety, Solana Vista will be enforcing a No Dogs on Campus policy. Children are not allowed to bring pets from home. In special cases, pets may be brought only with the prior permission of the teacher and principal and should be appropriately restrained.
California Education Code 51210(g) requires that students in grades 1 through 6 receive not less than 200 minutes of physical education every 10 school days, excluding lunch and recess.
All teachers accompany students who are being picked up at the playground to the dismissal area on the blacktop. Students being picked up in the drive through walk through the school to wait on the grass area in the front of the school.
Parents picking up students on the blacktop should enter through the outside gate when it is opened by school personnel at the designated time. Do not come through the main doors before the bell rings.
Students who have not been picked up need to remain seated at their line. They may not play on the playground until a parent or guardian has taken custody. Parents must make verbal or visual contact with their child's teacher when picking up their child at their classroom line. If you are going to allow your child play on the playground after dismissal, please supervise them at all times, as we do not provide playground supervision after school.
Students waiting in the drive through area sit on the grass by grade level. Students are expected to watch for parent/guardian car and wait calmly for their ride.
Students that have not been picked up by 3:00 will be brought to the office and will be supervised there until being checked out by their parents.
Learning the skills necessary for self-government is a major goal of public education. Student Council offers students opportunities to participate in and observe the election and governing process. Each classroom in grades 2-3 selects a student council representative each month to participate in student council and leadership opportunities.
Solana Vista and the Solana Beach School District is a tobacco-free site. Use of all tobacco products shall be prohibited within any district building, facility, or vehicle. In addition, the use of all tobacco products is prohibited on school grounds or premises. This prohibition shall also apply to all individuals attending or representing the school district at school-sponsored activities held off district property.
Check in with the front office staff and get a visitor's badge which must be visibly worn.
Pre-arrange classroom observations during school hours by parents, guardians or their representatives with the principal.
Check out with the front office staff before leaving campus to sign out and return their badges.
FOOD TREATS: Food treats for birthdays parties are not allowed. If you wish to commemorate your child's birthday at school, some ideas include: sharing a favorite book or game, giving stickers or pencils. Please check with your teacher.
SUN SAFETY: Solana Vista provides sunscreen for staff and students (with accompanying parent) in the health office. Continued education regarding the importance of sun safety and the various methods of protection is ongoing throughout the year.

Q: Is it possible to force run_list loading on shef's (chef shell) client mode When debugging errors in chef recipes, I usually like logging on to a problematic machine, typing "shef -z". In the case that there was a previous successful run, the registered run_list is automatically loaded with all the relevant attributes and recipes so that I can jump right in to try the offending lines.
The problem is that if chef-client failed on the first run, the run_list is empty, and shef even deletes the (much needed) recipes from the cache saying "its cookbook is no longer needed on this client". Is there some way to force shef to let me use my run_list?
The official wiki mentions:

"The run list will be set in the same way as normal chef client
  runs."

but trying "-j" doesn't seem to help.
I also tried running the solo mode ("-s -j") instead, as explained in this blog post. It loads the run_list (without expanding it, which is weird), but when I try to do anything, I get stuff like:

"Cookbook tomcat not found. If you're loading tomcat from another
  cookbook, make sure you configure the dependency in your metadata".

Note that my recipe has a couple of dozen dependencies 3 levels deep, so pasting all the code manually to shef is not really an option. My current workaround is to upload a modified recipe with all possibly offending parts commented-out (and continue manually from there), but I would love to have a better alternative.

A: The recipes aren't included by default when you start shef in client or solo modes, because a use case of shef is to determine why a recipe may not be loading at all, such as a compile time bug that causes some exception.
Therefore, you need to use include_recipe to include the recipes you wish to use. You can do this automatically for all the roles/recipes in the node's run list with:
node.run_list.expand(node.chef_environment).recipes.each do |r|
  include_recipe r
end

For more information on this, and a bunch of other great tips for using Shef to debug chef-client runs, see Steven Danna's blog post

A: When Chef runs for the first time, it creates /etc/chef/first-boot.json file with run list inside. Try running:
shef -z -j /etc/chef/first-boot.json

As the sun begins to set on Tier 15, most people are getting excited about what's to come with 5.4. A new raid, tweaks to our toolkit, and new game features have people all a-flutter - and for excellent reason! It's hard to not be excited to see changes that will positively impact our game play and give us new challenges to overcome.
Here's a fond farewell to the current progression tier and a Restospective look back at what we have conquered. There are three categories that I'm putting fights into: Love It, Hate It, or Meh. Without further ado, here's my Restospective on Last Stand of the Zandalari (Throne of Thunder Part 1).
I rate Jin'Rokh as Meh. The first fight of the Throne of Thunder was a loot pinata in my opinion. The healing wasn't incredibly difficult as long as people were standing in the right place in the right time. The mechanics weren't complicated and the execution was relatively simple. The only major downside to Jin'Rokh is how huge his loot table is. Even now, after 15 or more kills on him, some of our raiders still need drops off this guy. Seeing as he is a loot pinata, I can see why he'd have such a packed loot table, but it's still depressing to have yet another kill on him and that shiny thing you've been chasing after still hasn't dropped.
Horridon is a fight I love to hate. The boss hit like a diesel train, the adds love throwing out stuff to dispel, the floor is not your friend...this fight has something for everyone to hate. It was a serious challenge to heal, especially at the beginning (before all the Nerfs) and before people got the hang of interrupting the Venom Priests and kiting the diseased Drakkari. Bluntly put, I thought this fight was a nightmare. It was nearly impossible for us to stack the healing team to deal with all of the different dispels going out, not to mention being SOL if you didn't have someone to cleanse a disease. Mana conservation was absolutely critical - and again, nearly impossible. The saving grace of this fight was blasting Walk the Dinosaur by George Clinton.
I love this fight. No joke. I love the Council of Elders. It was, for me, just a fun fight. It felt like the healing to be done was nicely paced, where I wasn't panicking the whole time that the tank was going to spontaneously implode while I was in the middle of a spell cast, and I didn't fear the whole team would explode from some nasty burst damage. It was fun to watch the DPS on the team -- especially our heavy hitters -- throttle back their damage for fear of accidentally committing suicide. It helps that we gave each of the Elders an endearing nickname - Sparky, Healy, Sandy, and Frosty. I mean, it's hard not to giggle when you hear the raid leader telling us to beat Sparky down....now Frosty....now Sandy. I feel like this fight was a great balance of challenge and fun.
The Last Stand of the Zandalari was an interesting start to the Throne of Thunder. You can't help but feel bad for the Zandalari after you finish the Council and the Thunder King all but thanks you for taking out the trash. If it weren't for the deeds of the Zandalari, he'd still be a corpse somewhere, and he doesn't even care that they've been wiped out. It shows that the Zandalari are but a pawn in the Thunder King's chess game, and were only thrown at you to buy some time.
What were your thoughts on the first act of the Throne of Thunder?
Thanks for reading! Until next time, long days, pleasant nights and happy Raiding!
Now that I have the timing, Horridon is a lot of fun! All-in-all I find something enjoyable about each boss. Throne of THunder has been a fun raid.
I hate horridon. i hold a grudge against that overgrown rhino that is half the size of Wisconsin. most of the issues we had with horridon was due to personnel changes that really really set us back and killed our morale. once we got in people who were not actively going against everything we were trying to do it has been smooth sailing. now if only he would give up that darn trinket!!!!
jin'rok and council are both kind of "meh" fights for me. At first they were challenging just because of people not watching their feet. now that we have gone through and are comfortable with these fights i kind of view them as warm up fights. we 2 heal all 3 of these fights and they steadily increase in healing difficulty so its a good ramp up to getting into the deeper content. on council after sul goes down i can almost solo heal teh rest of that fight. most times it ends up that once we get him down our other heal primarily damages the bosses and only heals when someone does something to cause unnecessary damage or we hit a dark power.

Stafford County is one of America's most historic counties. The county contains a vast array of nationally significant prehistoric and historic sites which represent our paleontology, Paleo-Indian, Native American, Colonial, Revolutionary War, Federal, Antebellum and Civil War history. Spread throughout our history from Colonial days to present is an African American history second to none. In 2014 Stafford County celebrated its 350th year as a Virginia county.
In the fall of 1942, the U. S. government condemned 50,000 acres for the expansion of the Quantico Marine Corps base. Of this, 30,000 acres were in Stafford County. With less than three weeks warning, residents were forced to pack up their belongings, families, and livestock and find new homes. In the midst of this turmoil, one of the worst rainstorms of the twentieth century deluged the region. Torrential rains and rivers of mud made a difficult situation nearly impossible. For the 2018 Christmas ornament, the Stafford County Historical Society has commemorated this critical event in our county's history. One displaced resident, William W. Cloe, said, "If they need my farm to get through this war, then they can have it." 76 years later, the Quantico Marine Corps base is an integral part of the Stafford community.
This commemorative ornament is limited to 500 copies. Get yours today before they're all gone! Ornaments are $15 each. Proceeds will support the development and operation of a Stafford County museum.

Vic starts year with record COVID-19 cases
Kaitlyn OfferAAP
January 1, 2022 6:12AM
Another 7442 COVID-19 infections were found in Victoria for the final day of 2021, starting the new year with another pandemic record.
It is a jump of more than 1500 cases on Friday's 5919 infections.
Another nine people - aged in their 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s - have died with the virus, taking the state's toll since the pandemic began to 1534.
The number of active cases reported in the most-recent 24-hour reporting period sits at 24,161, and 63,026 people were tested
There are 98 people in intensive care, including 51 actively infectious and 21 ventilated.
In total, there are 451 people in hospital and the seven-day average hospitalisation rate sits at 406.
There are currently more than 12,500 close contacts in isolation in Victoria.
Extreme heat on Saturday closed eight testing sites, while positive cases interrupted entertainment plans for many on New Year's Eve.
Moulin Rouge at Regent Theatre abruptly stopped a performance with 30 minutes to go on Friday due to a positive COVID-19 test result in the wider company.
Performances of Frozen The Musical at Her Majesty's Theatre have also been cancelled until at least January 5 after cases were detected among the company.
Victoria on Friday moved to new isolation and close contact rules in line with definitions agreed at national cabinet.
Positive cases in Victoria must inform their household and social contacts of their illness and can now isolate for seven days, rather than 10, regardless of vaccination status.
Household contacts of positive cases must also isolate for seven days and can use a rapid antigen test for the all-clear if they are not symptomatic, but must get a PCR test if they show symptoms.
Workplace and school contacts are no longer required to get a test and isolate until they receive a result.
International travellers now have the option of completing a rapid antigen test on arrival - as well as on day five to seven - but are no longer required to isolate.

He takes his first steps in the trade at Lafay Cake Shop in Lyon, the city where he also obtained his professional diploma. He moves to Paris to become part of Guy Martin's team at the three Michelin star Le Grand Vefour. His international adventure began at the Grand Lisboa in Macau as Sugar Decorator, and a year later he joined the luxury catering company, Potel et Chabot, as decorator. Since the summer of 2014, he has been working as a consultant for numerous brands in Russia and abroad for his own company, GD Sweet Concept. Gregory Doyen is currently Executive Pastry Chef at the most luxurious hotel in Taipei, the Mandarin Oriental, where he is in charge of the Madarin Cake Shop, breakfast, private events, afternoon tea as well as bakery. My creations are a combination of aesthetics and the right flavours. For me, pastry should create an impact on the guest upon the first impression. It has to be visually attractive at first. Then the flavours will slowly emerge to complete the whole experience.

Chef Stephan was consulting for the opening of a new pastry shop and I was hired to make the production of cakes and pastries. When my time was up in Tokyo, I went back to the U.S. to work for the Park Hyatt. I also worked for Edward Notter School in Orlando, Florida. I was in charge of the development of the Pastry Programs, but the project didn't last long. So, I ended up moving back to California to work for the St. Regis for a couple years, before I decided that my life needed a new challenge and that is when I decided to move to Beijing.

Chef Joaquin has many years of experience in the Michelin restaurant, accepting the training of the orthodox French West Point. The strength and infinite creativity of the company have been completely changed every two months since its establishment. It's a long time to meet CJSJ.
He started out to become a chef but after a confectionery course, he steered his professional career towards pastry. In those moments, he could not imagine that in a few years he would become one of the best ambassadors of Italian pastry thanks to his work as a consultant and a regular spot on the podium of the Pastry World Cup (silver medal in 2011 and Gold medal in 2015). His way of working with chocolate and sugar have given him international fame, and in his school of artistic sugar, there are many students who aspire to become champions someday.
Creator, ice cream maker, pastry chef, David Wesmaël seeks to awaken the senses and pleasures with his know-how for 25 years. Originally from the North of France, he quickly develops a search for excellence of flavors and a great technological mastery. David was recognized by his peers in 2004 with the title of Meilleur Ouvrier de France Glacier and Team Pastry World Champion in 2006. Passed by the Meert house among others, David has long remained in the shadows, preferring to specialize in research and development. By creating the Glacerie Paris, David seeks to reconnect with the pleasure of freshly torn ice, placing the pleasure of the taster at the center of his research: "There is a form of evidence of the pleasure to have when we eat for the first time. once an ice scent." Combine fruit puree and fresh fruit, look for the best proportions, vary the types of milk used, lengthen or shorten the maturations of the preparations: there are many parameters to master to obtain ice cream as perfect. A requirement of quality and know-how well mastered that would be nothing without passion.

MADISON, Wis., April 24, 2014 — Chemical reactions usually happen on their own terms.
But now, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a way to create molecules with controlled chirality using sunlight as one of two catalysts.
"Chemists could never do [this] efficiently, and so the prejudice was that it was too difficult to do," said Dr. Tehshik Yoon, a chemistry professor at the university and leader of the study.
Sunlight can power a chemical reaction via a new technique that controls chirality. Courtesy of University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Heat and UV light are common chemical reaction drivers, he noted. And while UV light can power reactions that heat cannot, it sometimes carries too much energy, making it unselective and creating unwanted byproducts.
The researchers began exploring ways to power chemical reaction with visible light via solar cell metals, including Ru(bpy)32+, that release electrons to produce electricity. Once this happened, a second catalyst was introduced to control chirality.
"We are taking the electrons that these metals spin out and using their energy to promote a chemical reaction," Yoon said, comparing this to plants' activity during photosynthesis.
Using a second catalyst, the researchers gained greater control and were able to hold the transforming chemicals in the correct orientation so the electrons could create only the desired chirality. The team soon discovered that by making a very slight change to the chiral control catalyst, a completely different product molecule shape was created.
To date, the team's experiments have resulted in square structures with four carbons that have proven difficult to make with heat or UV light.
The new technique could benefit material scientists, Yoon said, namely those in the pharmaceutical industry. He added that the researchers will continue exploring the creation of chemicals using UV light.
The research was published in Science (doi: 10.1126/science.1251511).

Tag: writing page-turners
A couple of days ago, a friend wrote, "I'm 200 pages in!" (That is, she's reading Standing Our Ground, the fourth book in my Monastery Valley Series of novels.) "It's a page-turner! How do you do that?" Her question gave me an idea for this post.
Writers have rules for how to do it . . .
I suppose there aren't really rules that writers must follow–after all, any rule you could possibly name has been broken by wonderful writers. Take the often-proclaimed "rule" that "you must grab your readers' attention and interest on the first page, or you've lost them!" In fact, writing coach and editor Ray Rhamey says you have to do it in the first 17 lines! But Richard Powers' powerful novel The Overstory opens with four pages of trees talking about humans before even introducing a character. By the way, it won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction.
There may not be hard and fast rules for writing, but there sure are some powerful agreements among readers and writers. And one of them is simple: It all comes down to conflict, internal and external. And a corollary to that is equally simple: Make it worse. There are other agreements readers and writers have, but I'm going to reflect on these two today.
It all depends on conflict.
Without conflict, there is no story. Period. "Conflict," of course, does not need to mean war, violence, mental illness, or loud angry arguments. If a character wants something and cannot get it, that's conflict. You've no doubt read Garth Stein's The Art of Racing in the Rain. (No? Do read it. You will be changed.) Enzo, the dog who is the main character, is old and dying–and he wants to die, because in his next life, he will become human. Dying and becoming human is his goal, his desire. But he loves Denny, his human, and he knows that dying will mean losing him and all it has meant to them both. Conflict. The story's question is how–indeed, whether–Enzo can resolve his conflict, say farewell to Denny, and die happily into his next life. And the ramifications of that conflict and that question make for a marvelous and profoundly beautiful story.
That conflict is at the heart of story-telling is an idea as old as Aristotle, who placed conflict first in his list of the essential features of drama. But why does conflict have this honored place? Isn't character more important? According to Aristotle–and to every writing teacher I've ever learned from–the answer is "No." Character is only revealed through action ("Watch what he does, not what he says."), and action requires conflict to reveal character. (Watching their actions, not their speeches and Tweets, isn't a bad admonition in this political climate, eh?) Conflict spurs action and action reveals character.
Example: Suppose a story shows a man getting up, stumbling to the bathroom, brushing his teeth, shaving, washing up, drying his face and hands, returning to the bedroom and getting dressed, and picking up his briefcase and saying to his wife, "See you after work, honey." See any conflict? You want a whole book full of this kind of no-conflict action? Okay, now try this:
The angry buzz of his cell phone beside the bed jerked Ted awake. He growled a half-startled, half-angry 'What?' into the phone, listened, jumped out of bed, grumbling.
His wife said, "Where are you going? It's your day off!"
"Damn office called. We got a problem. I don't know when I'll be home."
"Come back to bed, Ted, it's our anniversary!"
"Tell me something I don't know."
Conflict, both internal (Ted wants to stay in bed with his wife but also wants to keep his job) and external (he wants his anniversary day off but also wants to solve the problem at work, not to mention his awareness that he's disappointing his wife).
Books have been written about conflict in story-telling, much deeper than what I've just written, but this is enough for now. Let's look at conflict's corollary.
Make it worse!
Romeo wants Juliet, but their families stand in the way. Can he find a way to be with her? Scout (in To Kill a Mockingbird) wants to believe people are good and kind, but the racism in her town disturbs her. Can she come to terms with it without losing her belief in people's goodness? Katniss Everdeen (Hunger Games) wants to be closer with her friend Peeta, but to protect her sister's life she must compete against him in the lethal games. Can she survive without harming him or losing their friendship? The PI/detective/deputy/cop in any mystery or police procedural wants to get the bad guy, but it's next to impossible to find the evidence or even to identify who the bad guy is. Will she win or lose the case? The formula for all this is "desire plus obstacles requires action."
Most readers and writers agree that if a character immediately succeeds in getting what she wants, the story ends, because no more obstacles means no more conflict. So how does the writer keep the story going? By seeing to it that the character fails: The obstacles win.
In other words, writers keep making it worse for their characters. Every action taken by the character to resolve the obstacles fails, and the character finds that the problems he faces have just gotten "bigger and badder."
There's one more ingredient in how to write a spell-binding or page-turning story (novel or short story or screenplay or stage play): Helping the reader care about the characters. "Care" doesn't have to mean "like." Dudley Smith in Ellroy's L.A. Confidential (and other novels) is a proficient detective and a thug, but he has a mesmerizing personality and does good as well as thuggish things. He fascinates, and being fascinated by a character often means one cares what happens to him.
But although I can easily make things worse for my characters, I can only make my readers care about them to a limited degree. The rest is up to the readers themselves. But if everything clicks and my readers care about Andi and Ed and Grace and other important characters in my Monastery Valley series, watch what happens: In Standing Our Ground, the fourth novel in the series, Deputy Andi Pelton desperately wants to prove her suspicion that Daniel Essex wasn't "standing his ground" in self-defense when he murdered young Bernard Cirilo, he had cold-bloodedly planned the shooting. At every turn, though, she fails to find the crucial evidence. Do the readers give up, throw the book against the wall because Andi is thwarted, send me nasty emails about writing such an incompetent cop?
Nope. They write, "I'm 200 pages in. It's a page-turner!"
Why? Because readers have a goal too. Their goal is to find out whether Andi succeeds–which they want because they care about her. And each time I make it worse for Andi, I also make it worse for the readers, and we all know what humans do when their goals are frustrated: Almost every time, they forge ahead, hoping this time it'll come true.
And that's how I do that.

. A large number of HiFi-specialists prefer speaker cables with fine, silver-plated litz, because they have better conductive values when compared to copper.
Silver cables give the very typical sound loved by many customers. They are - when stranded properly - extremely fast, precise, transparent, and ideal to upgrade all types of audio components that sound somewhat conservative.
The SC-ESPRIT SILVER und the SC-LYRIC SILVER are especially popular for the inside wiring of speakers, because oxidation is not a problem here (silver-oxide even has better conductivity than pure silver).
The SC-ESPRIT SILVER is manufactured with a gold-plated HICON 8 mm cable shoe, which is specially reworked, crimped, and refined with HICON silver solder to prevent oxidation between the copper and the gold.
The HICON with compression is the high quality version. When the sleeve is turned in, the pin will spread and thus guarantee a better hold inside the unit socket as well as loss-free transmission.

Eva Bovenzi lives and works in San Francisco and Colorado. She first exhibited in 1981. Her work is routinely exhibited in museums and galleries.
From DeWitt Cheng's review of the exhibit in San Francisco Art Magazine, May 2007:
"Yet these rich, lyrical works, for all their elegance, aim at something more difficult; they aim, I believe, in effecting a kind of psychic or emotional healing in viewers, realigning them with the world of nature (so unfashionable lately in the world of art theory); they aspire to transcendent metaphor and even spiritual elevation.

How can I stop my German Shepherd breaking out of her dog lot every time she hears a gun shot?
Question by Chase: How can I stop my German Shepherd breaking out of her dog lot every time she hears a gun shot?
Every time I or one of the neighbors fire a weapon, my dog tries to break out. She has gone over electric fences (shocking herself in the progress) and she has even gnawed through boards and some types of fencing. I have tried punishing her every time she did got out, but that didn't work at all. She is fully bred and 5 years old. The caliber of the firearm doesn't matter. 17s and 22s are enough to make her try to escape.
She's TERRIFIED! Stop shooting guns near her! Jeez!

Fergie, Josh Duhamel Share Son's First Pictures
Most celebrities are relatively selective in determining the right time to go public with pictures of their baby. Fergie and Josh Duhamel appeared to be in that same number as of September 16. When asked when the world could see a picture of their son, Axl Jack, the "Life as We Know It" actor kindly replied via Twitter, stating that he and his wife wanted him 'all to themselves.' However, the two must have had a sudden change of her heart.
On the following day, Fergie and Josh Duhamel proved they no longer had any reservations about offering a glimpse of their first-born, when they debuted the first public pictures of their son to the world. On September 17, the "Glamorous Life" singer and her husband both decided to reveal pictures of their 3-week-old son, via Twitter. The proud mother took the liberty of posting first.

According to Access Hollywood, the two even decided to share yet another picture of their son on Saturday, just a couple days after debuting his first pictures. However this time, little Axl decided to open his eyes! Josh Duhamel's version of the adorable picture included a light-hearted caption at the bottom that read, "Go Bison," – a declaration to the state football team for his home state of North Dakota.

Calle Benito Juárez S/N, Centro, 23300 Todos Santos, B.C.S., Mexico
http://www.hotelcaliforniabaja.com/
Hotel California. Sometime in the mid to late 1980´s, the word got out that Todos Santos was home to the Hotel California made famous by the Eagles´ song in the 1970´s. Todos Santos town. Pacific coast side of the peninsula. Baja California. Mexico. RM
If you've ever heard the Eagles song "Hotel California," you've probably wondered whether it was inspired by a real-life equivalent. Eagles members have denied "Hotel California" is anything other than a metaphor, but that's never stopped visitors to the Baja California town of Todos Santos from assuming its Hotel California gave name to the song. Regardless, the hotel and Todos Santos itself remain fascinating places to visit. Among fun facts: The hotel was the first place in town to serve ice cream.

You Won't Want to Leave
Colorful Hotel California in the heart of Todos Santos was a wonderful place to vacation. Everywhere you look there's artwork, flowers, candles,brightly painted walls- something beautiful to catch your eye. Our room had an enormous balcony with a peek of an ocean view. At night we could lie on our chaise lounges, sip drinks, and listen to the reggae band playing in the hotel bar down below.
Best Margaritas in Mexico
Margaritas and Mexico go together like Manhattans in Manhattan, Mai Tais in Hawaii, Scotch in Scotland.... you just expect it to be done right. Then you see the bartender pouring sweet and sour mix with Jose Cuervo and you fall into despair. Skip Cabo and try THIS: head north to tiny Todos Santos and the legendary Hotel California. Margaritas in traditional lime, hibiscus, and blended fresh papaya—don't let the smooth taste fool you, these 'ritas pack a punch. Listen to the hourly playing of the Eagles' "Hotel California" several times over while blissfully drifting into a cloud of tequila happiness.


Last week, Music Hall of Williamsburg experienced quite the show. From gaggles of brass instruments to hair-whipping dancing it was exactly the night of fun I needed after a super stressful week. Everyone was eager to see Lawrence, a break out rock/soul/pop band straight out of New York. The show was part of their tour supporting their debut LP, Breakfast, which came out last March.
It's rare that a band can perfect lyricism as well as musicality but Lawrence does it with ease. Breakfast is full of easy-to-listen-to songs that incorporate a style of storytelling that I am in love with. Between Clyde and Gracie's passionate lyrics and emotional vocals their songs hit you where it hurts the most. The brother and sister duo aren't strangers to the spotlight. Gracie has acted on Broadway, in movies and on television while Clyde has been composing songs for movies since he was a child. He was actually the youngest person ever admitted into the Songwriters Guild of America for his work in Miss Congeniality at six years old.
Opening up the night was Nashville-native Suzy Jones. With her gritty bluesy voice and sultry charm, she was a powerful choice to open the show. I think on some of her runs I could see her tonsils, I swear!
The Huntertones followed up with some funkadelic tunes. Their set included some amazing Huntertone-ified covers of "God Only Knows," by the Beach Boys, the Jurassic Park theme song, and an incredible Stevie Wonder medley.
Lawrence is the embodiment of soul and blues music. I don't know how people so young can have felt that much pain in their life already to be able to sing with such raw emotion but it touched me in such an incredible way and I will forever be a fan.
The time of the turkey is almost upon us, which means: It's time to be thankful. And what are we thankful for? Awesome music….

Q: Printing multiple array items in one loop PHP So, I have this html table row saved in the variable hostingItem:
<?php ob_start(); ?>

                <?php echo $hosting; ?>
                <?php echo '' . $hostingStatus . ''?>
                <?php echo "€" . $hostingPrice; ?>
                <?php echo $hostingExp; ?>
                <?php echo $hostingPeriod; ?>

...

<a href="https://<?php echo $website?>" target="_blank" class="bs-tooltip" data-original-title="View">

                            <?php
                                if ($hostingStatus == "Active") {
                                    echo '

';
                                } else {
                                    echo '

';
                                }
                            ?>

<?php $hostingItem=ob_get_clean(); ?>

I also have arrays for each variable inside the row all filled with 3 values. Example:

*

*Price Array ( [0] => price_1 [1] => price_2 [2] => price_3 )

*Status Array ( [0] => status_1 [1] => status_2 [2] => status_3 )

etc.
I would like to echo the row 3 times (since the arrays have 3 values as well). In the first echo I want the first value from each array to be inserted to it's variable inside the html table row.
For example, in the first loop the first value in price array will go to the hostingPrice variable . In the third loop, the third value will go to the variable inside the row. This should happen for all items.
Since it sounds a bit complicated (and I do not know much about php) have a look at this concept:
consider this as a loop concept
thank you in advance for your time:)

A: use a foreach loop and a counter
   $i=0;
   foreach($PriceArray as $val){

      $StatusArrayVal = $StatusArray[$i];

      /*
echo each row
       your code
      */

    $i++;
   }

you will have one value in the $val variable and other in $StatusArrayVal
you can echo all the html code or set between tags <? ? >

Multichannel retailer Debenhams is outsourcing its photographic and video content to ecommerce fashion photographer Fashshot.
Fashshot is appointed to manage Debenhams' studio, which was previously run in-house. It will now handle photography, styling and processing for the retailer.
Simon Forster, director of Debenhams.com, said outsourcing imagery would mean "better and more varied product imagery" for the Debenhams website.
Later this year Debenhams will bring catwalk video and 360 degree views to its website.


Tony Avella has some explaining to do.
I know it is certainly no secret that civic service is my passion. A passion that I am honored to share with so many of my wonderful neighbors and friends.
Since our civic group's formation, over two years ago, I've shared in the pleasure of working in volunteerism with our neighbors, fellow civic leaders, elected colleagues in government and numerous city agencies. In this time, we have been able to accomplish so much — from the replacement of our namesake, the "Welcome To Whitestone" sign at the corner of Francis Lewis Boulevard and the Cross Island Parkway, to graffiti clean-ups and our numerous community events and fundraisers for vital community service organizations such as Whitestone Volunteer Ambulance and St. Mary's Healthcare System for Children.
Welcome To Whitestone's regular community meetings provide an open environment for everyone. This is why I was particularly shocked to learn that our State Senator Tony Avella will be a holding a Town Hall meeting on Thursday, May 17th, 2012, without our organization. Needless to say, this is just a silly political jab by Senator Avella but we will not stand to be stepped on. Our membership knows how truly valuable civic service is, and after sharing this, I've been inundated with calls and letters, calling on Welcome To Whitestone to stand up to Tony Avella, once and for all!
To Senator Avella, I remind you of the old Chinese proverb, "Those who say it cannot be done, should not interrupt the person doing it". A deliberate attempt to undermine our service, by excluding our membership from your Town Hall is petty!
Now, we need to band together as a united community, to tell Senator Avella he was not elected to persecute his community. I call on all of you to boycott a Town Hall that would exclude any part of this community. Let's send a clear message to Senator Avella: it's time to put an end to this behavior!

Nicole Dyck wants to save the 108-year-old King George Community School.
Saskatoon Public Schools announced last year that it would amalgamate King George, Pleasant Hill Community School and Princess Alexandra Community School into a central building.
One of the proposed sites is the current location of Princess Alexandra on Avenue H between 20th street and 22nd Street.
"With the closure of two community schools that's a pretty big change. As a community we're trying to force some discussion on this so that's it's the best decision for all three communities together," Dyck says.
Dyck moved into the neighbourhood about 10 years ago and her five-year-old daughter attends King George.
She is part of a group trying to get the decision to close the school reversed.
One of their main concerns is that they haven't been part of any consultation process with the school division or city despite being told they would be included, she said.
Saskatoon Public Schools told CTV News in an email that the COVID-19 pandemic has affected its ability to host community consultations.
"While the location of the new school facility has yet to be confirmed, we know these three existing school buildings are meaningful to the neighbours that surround them. Our school division has had informal discussions with some members of the community associations and neighbourhoods. Also, with the provincial government funding the new school facility, we must follow the ministry's timeline for school projects.
"We hope to schedule formal consultation meetings with the three community associations before the end of the month. We will also extend an invitation to any potential community partners in the facility."
However, Dyck said the meetings did not have to be in-person since most things have moved online anyway.
"I think that is a bit of an excuse. We've tried to create consultation by having Zoom meetings with MLAs, City Council members and school board trustees. Even at those meetings, it wasn't taken as a consultation or a discussion, but it was more of a place to give excuses about why we're not having that discussion," Dyck said.
Karen Farmer is also part of the King George community group, having lived in the neighbourhood for 21 years.
She said the important role these schools play to keep the community connected is being overlooked.
"Many of the people in the core heritage communities don't have access to programs. They can't afford expensive hockey lessons and dance classes and they really rely on the schools and they're an important part of our community," Farmer said.
The green space and open field and hockey rink serves as a meeting place for many, she said.
Beyond the Zoom meeting and the suggestions which emerge, Farmer says they are considering a letter writing campaign, a possible petition as well as getting more exposure on social media to gather support for their cause.
