The stage is set for Louisa County Engineer Larry Roehl to head to Puerto Rico to assist the Federal Emergency Management Administration with Hurricane Marie recovery efforts — now it's a question of when.
The Louisa County Board of Supervisors Tuesday approved Roehl's request for an extended leave of absence, but Roehl said FEMA has not set a date yet for him to leave.
"I'm still here," he pointed out during his regular weekly meeting with the board.
Roehl indicated he and others who will be leaving for an estimated six-week stay on the U.S. territory held a conference call last week with FEMA officials to discuss details of the trip.
He said FEMA will be developing a Memorandum of Understanding describing some of those details and once that is signed he should be ready to leave.
"I anticipate having something this week," Roehl said, adding it was hard to plan because of the uncertainty.
Meanwhile, the supervisors approved several other steps that will ensure the county's secondary roads department continues to effectively operate during Roehl's absence.
The board approved several resolutions that will give Assistant County Engineer Adam Shutt authority for various actions while Roehl is gone.
1. The supervisors appointed Shutt as the Interim County Engineer.
2. The board approved resolutions naming Shutt as the county official authorized to execute certification of completions for projects on Farm-to-Market Roads and those involving federal and/or state aid.
3. Designated Shutt as the responsible official for closing secondary roads during emergencies and the official authorized to sign for Federal Disaster Relief Funds involving damage to secondary roads and bridges.
"You are the man now," supervisor Randy Griffin joked with Shutt following those actions.
In other discussions involving the secondary roads department, Roehl reported consulting firm HR Green completed design construction plans for the Louisa County Highway 99 bridge replacement at Wapello. He said plans were now being reviewed and would be presented at next week's board meeting.
Shutt also reported communication cable relocation work on 160th Street was proceeding and once it was completed, upgrading of the dirt road to a gravel surface could begin. The road is expected to act as a bypass for semi-trucks around Grandview.
Shutt said the upgrading work could begin later this week or next week.
Roehl also reported on repair work being done at the Louisa County Landfill. Earlier this year a possible leak in the landfills protective cover of clay was observed, forcing the landfill commission to ask Roehl and other secondary road staff to begin excavation to control the leak.
Roehl said tests of the runoff showed it was not coming from within the landfill, but likely was caused by heavy rains and ponding. Supervisor Randy Griffin, who serves on the Louisa County Solid Waste Commission, which administers the landfill, said some solution for controlling the runoff still needed to be determined.
In final action, the board:
• Agreed to drop any county claim to a mobile home that is being claimed through small claims court. The board acted after viewing the mobile home and agreeing the structure's value was less than the taxes owed;
• Approved the JKJ and Ashton Subdivisions; and
• Requested Zoning Administrator Paul Choi visit a building site southeast of Wapello to confirm cement foundations met setback rules.

How to Make It
Whisk together the cocoa, espresso powder, and 1/3 cup of the sugar in a bowl.
Roll the pastry into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle on a floured surface. Brush with the butter, then sprinkle with the sugar mixture; press in the sugar until it is dampened.
Starting at one long side of the rectangle, roll the pastry toward the center of the sheet, stopping at the middle. Repeat with the opposite end so the rolls meet. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
Heat oven to 425° F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
Cut the log into 1/4-inch slices. Place the cookies 1 inch apart on the baking sheets and sprinkle with the remaining tablespoon of sugar. Bake, rotating the sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 10 to 13 minutes. Let cool slightly on the baking sheets, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

A Presidential aspirant under the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Sule Lamido, yesterday cautioned that re-electing President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term could spell doom for youths and the country's future generations.
He stated this while addressing PDP supporters on his readiness to contest the 2019 presidential elections in Maiduguri, Borno State.
His words: "The Nigerian youths are the most at risk, because they have no future and good morals of becoming leaders of tomorrow. If I am elected President next year, the Nigerian economy will be revamped to surpass Buhari's Economic Recovery Growth Plan (ERGP).
"Unemployment, poverty, insecurity of lives and property, Boko Haram insurgency, cattle rustling, as well as herdsmen and farmers clashes will be addressed head on to restore peace and unity in the country."
He noted that if Nigerians were not careful in electing a credible person; irrespective of ethnic, religion and political affiliations and ready to effect change, the masses would continue to suffer unemployment, poverty, insecurity and underdevelopment.
He alleged that Buhari's administration has brought poverty and unemployment among 90 million youths, adding that the All Progressives Congress (APC) is a party of hate and frustration.
Meanwhile, a few hours to the declaration of his presidential bid, former Kano State Governor, Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, was prevented from using the Eagles Square facility in Abuja, which was previously approved for him.
Kwankwaso recently defected from the All Progressives Congress (APC) to the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP).

The interior of the church is quite impressive with its circular shape and clear interior. The awesome dome is the fourth largest in the world and famous due to the incident that took place during WWII – a bomb, which pierced the dome in 1942 landed on the church floor and slid across the floor without exploding! The church was crowded when the bomb hit and all were spared. The bomb is now on display in a small museum attached to the church. Mosta's titular feast - that of St. Mary or the Assumption of Our Lady - held on August 15th is a high point in the local religious celebrations.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) Chairman Muhammad Naeem said on Friday that 900,000 cancer patients get treatment every year from its 18 hospitals.

He said PAEC was working for diagnosis of cancer and its treatment and cancer, adding that patients were getting facilities in 18 hospitals in different big and small cities of the country. PAEC established the first hospital in 1961, he added.
A cancer hospital would be set up in Gilgit, one more was being planned in Narowal while the Prime Minister Azad Kashmir had assured of his cooperation in setting up a cancer hospital in Muzaffarabad. The PAEC was playing its role in important sectors including energy and agriculture, he added.
He stressed that more hospitals were needed to be established and the government of Pakistan would extend cooperation to PAEC in providing healthcare facilities. The government had given Rs 30 billion to PAEC for upgradation of hospitals and maintenance of equipment. "We needed more doctors and equipment."
Naeem said the conference would help in exchange of knowledge and learning new ways for timely diagnosis of disease.
He said, "PAEC was performing an important role in energy production and its plant in Karachi was providing 1100 megawatts to national grid while 1330 megawatts were provided through Chashma one, two, three and four power plants. Another 1100 megawatts would be provided through Chashma five to meet power needs of the country."
He said PAEC had an important role in the development of agriculture and had been producing 105 varieties of seeds for rice, cotton and other crops.
The 40 per cent seed used in Sindh was prepared by PAEC, he said adding it was also manufacturing isotopes and radio pharmaceutical kits in its research reactors, saving foreign exchange.
He informed that Pakistan Institute of Engineering and Applied Sciences (PIEAS) had been declared the best university in the ranking of Higher Education Commission (HEC).
He said in the battle against cancer, media had been playing a crucial role in creating awareness among people.

Cladding is used in part to insulate buildings, offer weather protection as well as improve appearance ensuring the mechanical structure of the building remains sound as well as protecting occupants. The drive towards greater energy efficiencies means more buildings may have been wrapped in flammable materials. Our Fire Management Specialists advise that such cladding could act like a chimney for the flames by allowing the fire to spread upwards between the cladding and the building walls.
Mike Penning, former fire minister called for an urgent review noting that this type of flammable cladding is used extensively in the UK and abroad. With accounts of approximately 30,000 buildings in the UK fitted with cladding similar to that on Grenfell Tower.
With our team of dedicated Fire Management specialists we can review cladding in order to reduce, mitigate and manage the building's fire safety risks. We provide our clients with trusted advice, guidance and assistance in deciding their Fire Safety Management approach and the options open to them when considering Fire Safety Risk, as well as delivering market leading Fire Safety Solutions which add real value to client business aims and objectives.

Smarter management of stock allocation, replenishment and distribution
The realities of modern retailing make stock management a growing challenge. Changing consumer patterns, shifting trends, and omni-channel expectations are putting increasing pressure on inventory managers, whose natural reactions are often to increase depth of stock holdings to deal with volatility.
Traditional stock management techniques mean that margins are frequently impacted by problems such as:
Our solution is stock optimisation. Our Profimetrics platform combines optimisation techniques and science with your unique business rules to deliver consistent, self-adjusting stock management recommendations that allow users to work by exception.
adding retail value
itim's Profimetrics Stock Optimisation is proven to:
Reduce average stock by 10-20% – by reducing stock imbalances
Increase sales – through reduction in stock-outs and lost sales
Improve availability levels up to 98+% – by having the right product in the right place
Improve efficiency – typically 80%+ of all stock decisions can be automated
Profimetrics provides a dynamic approach to managing stock that deals with the realities of modern multi-channel retailing. Using strategic stock policies (based on your stock profile and business goals, not parameters), Profimetrics ensures the optimal replenishment methods and recommendations for each product in each location. This allows you to improve product availability while reducing costs, protecting margins and increasing efficiency.
We have seen a retailer operate with 30% less stock whilst at the same time increasing sales by 1-3% due to better stock distribution using Profimetrics.
Profimetrics recommends allocations based on multiple methods (such as plan, forecast, and/or sales history information), allowing you to improve client service levels while reducing waste, markdowns and transfer costs.
Flexible, configurable dashboards and workflows guide users through the decision-making process, alerting them to issues and also allowing the simulation of what-if scenarios.
Profimetrics makes it easy to transfer and balance inventory between stores so that you can maintain optimum service levels. It helps merchandisers ensure that different product ranges are correctly matched together so they can assemble the perfect display in each store based on its specific demand and customer profile.
With our Stock Transfers module, each store can transfer inventory to another using point-to-point transfer, without the need for a centralised Distribution Centre for handling.

When it comes to art that involves paint, pen & ink, chalk, or clay, I have no ability at all. I often tell people I need a ruler to draw a stick figure.
My lack of ability does not diminish my appreciation and love for the art. When I was a teenager, I read "The Agony and The Ecstasy," and fell in love with Michelangelo's artwork. When my hubby and I went to Italy, our first tour was to see "The David" and our last tour was the Vatican and the Sistine Chapel. Although I saw many sculptures and artwork from other artists during our trip, Michelangelo remains my favorite ancient sculpture.
My favorite modern artist is Tracy H. Sugg. I say 'modern' only because she is living. I believe her artwork could be placed in a Renaissance setting.
If you go to her website, http://www.tracyhsugg.com/ , you'll see her Artist Statement:
"It is my Desire that my sculpture reflects a Touch of the Infinite,
By continually seeking to learn:
the inherent beauty of Creation
the value and mystery of Life
the noble epiphany of Truth
I strive to create an enduring tribute to humanity's highest ideals and aspirations
Thus conveying the eternal message of Hope, Truth and Beauty through the ever-expressive language of Sculpture."
If you scroll through her gallery, you will see the results of years of study, work, and dedication.
I am honored to have several pieces of Tracy's artwork in my home, including a sculpture portrait of me and my harp. My hubby fulfilled a life-long dream and gave me a harp for our 26th wedding anniversary. On our 27th anniversary, he commissioned Tracy to sculpt a statue of me and my harp. She knew I had a Renaissance dress and sculpted me in the dress and my harp from memory, even down to the decoration on my harp and correct number of strings. This beautiful piece of art has a place of honor in our home.

It delivers the seamless stability between porosity and smoothness. That's the reason I loved using Mush towels.
I got impressed by its stitching, designs and it's finishing. They double stitch their towels to increase the stability. Looking at the price I must say that Mush may be costly, but the best things always costs and buying superior branded towels is an investment and they last for years. We cannot compare anything with a low price tag and long lasting quality products.
They pack their products in a unique way in separate pouches and it's easy to carry and can be used when you are planning for a travel. In this case, I was lucky to have this as I carried it for my recent visit to Sri Lanka. Their main bamboo products are Bamboo Bath Towel (in various colors), Bamboo Socks, Face Towels, and Baby Hooded Towels.
You are free to purchase your everyday bath towels from Mush @ here
When you identify what marks a superior towel, you'll be prepared to select the finest towel for your requirements. And just like that, you can convert showering from one of the being's modest preferences to one of life's utmost preferences!

My first time to Club Punta Fuego was during a company outing in 2013, so I didn't really get to enjoy the facilities. The second time around, I was with fellow travel bloggers and we stayed for 2 nights, fully exploring the place at a leisurely place because the place is HUGE! They have golf limousines to shuttle you around the property, like the upper level, lower beach and the docks to watch the sunset. They've also got a bike rental in case you want to bring yourself around. Honestly, I would come here to ride out the apocalypse because it's a community of its own.
The view of the sea was amazing from the infinity pool! The still water reflected the clouds and the blue sky. (Check out Puerto Galera White Beach in Mindoro)
The Seaview Casitas at Club Punta Fuego are arranged like stucco houses with an entrance facing the driveway and sliding doors that open up to a veranda with a view of the sea. I have to say that the rooms are great but the bathrooms are gorgeous with the blue tiles and a mini greenhouse to hang stuff to dry! (Clearly, I love spending time in the bathroom.)
Each casita comes with the following:
-Cable television
-Coffee-Maker and Tea-Maker
-Safety Deposit Box
-Private Toilet and Bath
-Mathroom Amenities
-Wifi Access
-Writing Desk
-Complimentary Bottled Water
Facilities at Club Punta Fuego
Club Punta Fuego is equipped with all the entertainment you'll ever need while on vacation–Mini Theater, Tennis and Indoor Squash Courts and a Game Room with Pools Table and Dart Boards. Relax at the Ylang-Ylang Spa after a day on the beach.
Club Punta Fuego has multiple infinity pools, the main one at the clubhouse, and another in the upper level. It also has two private beaches.
The Lower Beach is much larger, which makes it ideal for water sports–water skiing, jet skiing, banana boating, SCUBA diving, snorkeling, wake-boarding, stand-up paddling and kayaking.
The Playground and the Miniature Golf are also in the Lower Beach area, so the family can be together for an afternoon of fun.
Complete the day at the Docks, watching the sun go down at the Barracuda.
For corporate events like team outings and strat plans, Club Punta Fuego has Meeting Rooms and Banquet Halls, as well as a Business Center to access your emails and do a bit of work. The gated community also has a Chapel / Shrine for an intimate wedding.

San Diego Restaurant
While you're in Club Punta Fuego, you don't need to go anywhere else for provisions. San Diego Restaurant is open for intercontinental breakfast buffet, lunch and dinner. There's a themed dinner buffet every weekend, and it rotates every week. It was Mongolian Grill while we were there. They had so many kinds of meat, seafood and veggies to choose from, paired with dozens of condiments!
Il Jardineto Restaurant
The Lower Beach is where you'll find the Italian resto Il Jardineto, which serves pasta, pizza, salad and mains. The mocktails were refreshing as we took shade from the noontime sun!
Traditions and Contradictions
Located at the club with a view of the infinity pool directly in sight, Traditions and Contradictions is Club Punta Fuego's very own bar. Apart from wines and spirits, it also serves wicked dessert. We had coffee with some of their favorites, a perfect way to end dinner!

Arthur & Henry are rip roaringly pleased to be popping up next week at Monsieur London. But how did this come about? Valentin Goux, one of the monsieurs, explains.
It's all about values isn't it?A few months ago, we opened our first store in the Royal Opera Arcade. A big step forward for a young brand like us. We spent two weeks painting, refurbishing, and cleaning the place before the grand opening.Then, we bought two mannequins, created a nice display, and welcomed our first clients. But something was missing, and we did not know exactly what it was.Then we eventually found out: the mannequins were naked. And even with their beautiful wood and our awesome accessories, it was odd.So we started to look for someone who could dress them. A shirt brand who would fit into our quality oriented atmosphere. One who would share our values of sustainable fashion, of promoting quality and consuming less but better. All the things that we stand for… It had to be Arthur & Henry!To start with, their shirts are well fitted, the designs are nice, and on top of that, it's all ethically produced.Following this successful association, we decided to invite Arthur & Henry in our Royal Opera Arcade store for a little Christmas popup.They answered very positively, and we will be delighted to host this wonderful and seasonal event from the 2nd to the 7th of December. We certainly hope to see many of you at the grand opening night, Tuesday the 2nd from 6pm.As we are extremely French, there will be wine.Valentin Goux

We started the day by going for a little walk. Both Victoria and I had put on black nail polish before we left and it was starting to look a little ragged around the edges. We went back to Hammersmith Station and into the shops there. There was a drug store where we managed to pick up nail polish remover pads which were surprisingly effective, a tiny hair brush, shampoo and conditioner.
The Saba hotel seems to have given us very tiny amounts of hotel shampoo and we needed something better than that, and more of it to last a week. This way we can use the same stuff all throughout our trip. The square was bustling in the middle of the day as you would expect.
The morning was crisp but comfortable enough for me. Victoria was a little cold. We returned to our hotel for a short stay and then headed out, this time with a light sweater for Victoria.
We decided to walk up toward a new park we had not seen yet. Victoria was a bit disappointed as this wasn't the dense trees and beauty kind of park. More of a large-ish parkette with open grass and walkways to other corners. The whole thing was on a wedge shaped piece of land. In London, none of the streets are in a grid layout.
We made our way to Ladbroke Grove Station and took the train northeast toward the birthplace of Alan Turing! It is a hotel now and they keep a plaque on the wall to commemorate it.
The next stop was little Venice, a canal with long, elaborate house boats. The water was beautiful and so were the buildings surrounding it. We stopped in a house boat cafe and had a tasty soda and some light snacks before heading down the canal.
Some of the houseboats were rickety, and some were well cared for. One had a Pizza John flag hung in the window, to let you know a John Green fan was there.
A short while after this a tiny dog shot past us like a rocket. Apparently her owner had continued to walk while she investigated something more interesting, and decided she had to book it to catch up. It was quite surprising and we both laughed.
The canal had a very peaceful vibe. So peaceful that Victoria and I didn't notice that her directions had been faulty. We went the opposite way down the canal to what we had intended.
We stopped into a Pret a Manger, which was my first time and it seemed similar to the kind of market where you select your own food, pay, and then find a place to sit you find in Toronto. The food was good, though. Afterward we stopped at the coffee kiosk at the closest tube station and headed back home.
On the way back, a nice man stopped in the middle of his phone call to warn us against going down a dead end and that seemed quite nice. We saw some fun and quirky things along the way, or maybe it is we who are quirky.
At the hotel we recharged our batteries, both figuratively and literally, then headed out again. This time it was evening and we were going to find dinner.
Victoria thought we should go through a park east of the hotel which turned out to be a very lovely park, but it was quite far away by walking. It was already dinner time, so we looked for restaurants near the park and ended up at a burger place called Byron. The wait staff must have had a change-over because nobody was minding the "please wait to be seated" sign and we waited quite a while before anyone really came to speak with us. (Even after peering into the restaurant to make eye contact with a server.)
It turned out to be a good choice, however. The burgers they had were fantastic. The hot sauce was… not hot. The cider was excellent. We had a Hawkes mixed berry cider and it was very tasty.
Now faced with the task of making our way back to the hotel on weary feet, we headed on a circuitous route west to Brook Green, where we found two people practising light saber skills in the park in the middle.
What a delightful thing to find on our way home!
Here I sit relaxing and wondering what tomorrow will bring. I think it may be something nerdy.

OBStv (pictured) is a Slough-based OB operation that has worked on the Heineken Cup, Six Nations and the Women's FA Cup Final.
All four businesses will operate as separate entities and their current management teams will remain. They will report to NEP UK and Ireland president Steve Jenkins.
US-headquartered outside broadcast giant NEP acquired Screen Scene from owners Jim Duggan and Alan Burns for an undisclosed amount.
NEP said the deal would extend its reach into Ireland while adding extensive post and VFX capabilities as well as satellite uplink and IP services to its portfolio.

Shipping and delivery: how to do it the right way
Research shows that 37% of consumers who have a bad shipping experience will never buy from that merchant again. On the positive side, 87% of consumers report that a positive delivery experience makes them more likely to buy from a merchant again.
Thanks to the rise of e-commerce and the increase in customer expectations, shipping and delivery have become key factors in the overall satisfaction of the customer. The ability of an e-commerce company to meet customer expectations can be a source to create a competitive advantage.
Executing with an incorrect strategy, or not having a strategy at all, is a recipe for higher costs and lower levels of customer satisfaction. Research shows that 37% of consumers who have a bad shipping experience will never buy from that merchant again. On the positive side, 87% of consumers report that a positive delivery experience makes them more likely to buy from a merchant again.
Here is what you should do to get the e-commerce correctly:
You have to know the limitations. Take Amazon as a model, but you do not have to beat it, just get close enough to provide a good level of service to customers.
Know where you are standing. What services are you using? How much are they costing you? What are the actual service levels that are delivered to your customers by service, mode and key markets?
Know the market and customer base. What is the level of service you need to provide to your customers? You have to make difficult decisions about what will be done and not by the customers. What is the cost / delivery time commitment that will maximize the levels of customer satisfaction? This can vary by product and by market.
Know restrictions on shipping costs. How much can be spent while maintaining margins in an acceptable range?
Ask critical questions about what happens if … Detailed modeling of the "what if" alternatives helps you examine where it is possible best. How much would it cost to accelerate delivery in a key market in a day? Are there markets or products in which you can exchange a slower delivery time for lower costs? Do you need to open a new distribution center to better serve a rapidly growing market? Do you have the right combination of providers and services to achieve cost and service objectives?
Know sources of power with carriers. The volume of shipment, the combination of services and the concentration of the market can provide preferential treatment.
Invest in yourself and in your business. Implementing the correct shipping and fulfillment capabilities may require an initial investment, but you will be rewarded with higher shopping cart conversion rates and more efficient operations.
Do not fall asleep at the wheel. Constantly monitor what is happening in the shipping network so that the course can be corrected as necessary.
And most importantly, focus on your customers' experience. Providing an ideal shipping and delivery experience will increase customer satisfaction and the return business, as well as help differentiate your company from its competitors.
In DICEX we know that the main focus of the companies must always be the client, since by increasing loyalty and good opinion, word of mouth will also increase the profit margins of the companies, since they will retain current clients and generate new clients according to the purchase / service experience that they have perceived through other people.

Here are a few photos of the details of the party. I didn't go to crazy but I had to include some pink and blue things.
We also had everyone dress in the color that they thought Baby Loving would be. The boy votes far outweighed the girl votes (just like in my poll!).
Here is team pink--a whopping 4 people! And yes, Hannah did pick out what color she wanted to wear. I gave her a blue shirt and a pink shirt and she picked pink!
Then it was time to cut the cake! :o)

International private schools are bringing education expertise and combining it with Dubai's culture and forward-looking, innovative perspective.
How do you see your contribution to the private education sector of Dubai?
NITIN KRIPALANI From the onset, EKI was established with the vision of developing and operating world-class schools. Currently, we have three schools and four nurseries; the flagship being Repton School Dubai, which was set up 11 years ago. At the time of Repton Dubai's launch, the education landscape in Dubai was different. There were hardly any international school brands in the Emirate, until we partnered with Repton School in the UK, a 460-year-old institution, to set up a partner school in Dubai. Today, Repton School Dubai has the second-best IB results in the country, and these results have been improving on a progressive basis. These results are significantly above the global average for IB results, with some of our alumni securing places at Oxford and Cambridge in the UK and Ivy League universities in the US. Our positive contribution to UAE's education sector is further evidenced by the large representation of Emirati pupils in our schools. The average representation of Emirati pupils at competing schools in Dubai is between 2 and 4%, whereas in Repton School Dubai over 18% of our pupils are Emiratis. This is facilitated by the strong offering of Arabic and Islamic studies in our schools as well as the provision of the IB Career Program, alongside the IB Diploma Program in years 12 and 13.
JANECKE AARNAES Dwight School is an old educational institution with a solid history and presence around the world. We have schools in New York, London, Seoul, Shanghai, and now Dubai. What is unique about Dwight School is that it comes from a family of educators. It is run by the owners, who are educators and actively work in New York. When they look to partner abroad, they look for someone that shares a similar vision and is willing to consider education as an area where we need to be future oriented and progressive. The way Dwight School approaches expansion is with a long-term vision and with sustainability in mind, as partnerships take a long time to develop. We look for countries where the leadership is supportive of our vision, thinking about how education provides the country with entrepreneurial and thought leaders for the future. Dwight School will only go to places where the vision for education matches ours, which is where Dubai came in as a perfect partner. Both Dwight and Dubai's leadership want to teach young people today to think in a way that is different from what has been standard over the past few decades, because this generation will face different challenges. What makes Dwight comfortable is going beyond what is the classical norm; just like Dubai, we want to push the boundaries.
What features set your school apart from the competition?
NK First, our partnership with the renowned institution Repton School and its legacy in nurturing leaders is extremely important. We have successfully synthesized this legacy of teaching and learning with an understanding of local markets over the last decade. Second, our philosophy of holistic education and development of the whole child is central to our education offering. While our pupils enjoy very strong academic results, we believe that our provision of sports, arts, drama, and pastoral care is second to none. Third is our use of technology and innovation to accelerate education outcomes. Repton School Abu Dhabi is the first school in the Middle East to be recognized as an Apple Distinguished School. Apple recognized our leadership in the use of technology and innovation to enhance personalized learning for every child.
JA In 1872, Dwight was set up as a small educational institution for boys seeking higher education. It was set up in partnership with Yale University to prepare students for university, and thus, we were established as a feeder school for talent into Yale. Today, education has become available to significantly more people, and the vision of the school has changed. There are parallels with the UAE, considering there is a similar structural system here; it is a truly hands-on ownership by a visionary leader. The chancellor of Dwight School is a progressive educator who continuously challenges the school to think about how to make a giant leap into the future, in the same way the leader here challenges his people. What allows our students to take that leap is the focus on student entrepreneurship, which together with our personalized learning approach makes us unique. Dwight has found distinctive ways and structures to allow students to develop their own interests and passions, while they acquire knowledge and skills they need to sit and test. These are really hallmark features of a Dwight education.

California Governor Jerry Brown vetoed a bill Wednesday that would have increased financial oversight of the state's high-speed rail project, which aims to connect San Francisco to Los Angeles but lacks the necessary funds and rights of way.
The bill, AB 2847, would have added to the California High-Speed Rail Authority's existing requirement to produce an updated business plan every two years, requiring a projection of financial costs for each proposed segment of the route as well.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the bill incorporated new recommendations from the Legislative Analyst's Office. "The analyst's office had recommended that the rail authority provide more information about how a $43-billion gap in funding the construction would be closed," the Times' Ralph Vartabedian reported. Legislators became concerned that the state had begun committing funds to a project that would never be completed without new, significant sources of cash — from somewhere.
Assemblyman Jim Patterson, the former mayor of Fresno, introduced the bill — and won the approval of both parties, a rare feat for a Republican in Sacramento. "If this project keeps going forward without the necessary oversight, it will continue to collapse," he was quoted by the Times as saying. "It is already in the process of collapsing in front of our eyes. It is a make-believe project."
But Brown, who has seized on the high-speed rail project as a cornerstone of his anti-climate change policy, vetoed the bill, saying that the High-Speed Rail Authority already had sufficient requirements in place.
"As with other projects of this magnitude, state law requires strict standards of accountability and transparency, and I have every expectation that the authority will meet these high standards," Brown said, according to the Times.
The bill passed both the Assembly and the Senate without opposition, but it is unclear whether there are enough votes in both houses to override the governor's veto.

The Acer Liquid Jade Primo is Now Available
Micah Singleton writes this review for The Verge.
Acer Releases Liquid Jade Primo
Six months after showing it off at CES, Acer is releasing the Liquid Jade Primo, a curved Windows 10 handset. Interestingly enough, Microsoft is selling the smartphone with a display dock, keyboard, and mouse for $649 on its website, as it continues to push Continuum. The phone itself is pretty standard fare for a phone in 2016:
5.5-inch AMOLED Full HD display
Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 processor
32GB of storage (expandable up to 128GB with microSD card)
3GB of RAM
21MP rear camera, 8MP front-facing camera
2870 mAh battery
USB-C port
Dual SIM Slots
Another nice touch is the dual SIM slots, which comes in handy if you're traveling out of the country (or you want to use two local networks for some reason). If you're in the market for a Windows 10 phone, you can order the Acer Liquid Jade Primo today from the Microsoft Store.

These are my dogs, Suzy and Bentley. They are pretty special to us.
How did you get them to sit still? Sweet picture!
Last winter there was a Groupon for the JC Penney portrait studio, so I took them there last January or February. The girl was really good. The dogs were running around and I was on the floor saying "sit!" "SIT!". She must have been clicking the camera a lot because she got some really nice pictures. This one of them together and one of each of them sitting separately.
What a great picture of your gorgeous dogs! I am a big dog lover too – I have two long-coat chihuahua's and one bullmastiff lol!

Vertigo (Extreme Dizziness) Symptom, Causes & Questions
Understand your vertigo (extreme dizziness) symptoms, including 9 causes & common questions.
This symptom can also be referred to as: disequilibrium, the room is spinning
Updated on
Reviewed by Buoy Medical Review Team
9 Possible Vertigo (Extreme Dizziness) Causes
The list below shows results from the use of our quiz by Buoy users who experienced vertigo (extreme dizziness). This list does not constitute medical advice and may not accurately represent what you have.
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, or BPPV, is a common cause of vertigo –dizziness whenever the position of the head is significantly changed.
BPPV may occur after a head injury, whether minor or serious; or it can be caused by inner ear damage, which affects balance.
Most susceptible are women over 50, though it can happen to anyone at any age.
Symptoms include mild to intense dizziness or spinning; loss of balance; nausea; and sometimes vomiting. Flickering, jerking eye movements called nystagmus often occur at the same time.
Though BPPV is not dangerous in itself, it can cause falls and interfere with quality of life. If the dizziness occurs with severe headache, vision changes, trouble speaking, or paralysis, take the patient to the emergency room or call 9-1-1.
Diagnosis is made through physical examination, particularly looking for nystagmus. Specialized eye tests and imaging may be done.
BPPV may eventually resolve on its own. If not, therapy to adjust the sensitivity of the inner ear may be done, and in some cases surgery is effective.
Rarity: Uncommon
Top Symptoms: nausea, episodic dizziness, vomiting, vertigo (extreme dizziness), dizziness
Symptoms that always occur with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: episodic dizziness
Symptoms that never occur with benign paroxysmal positional vertigo: hearing loss, heartbeat sound in the ear, ringing in the ears
Urgency: Primary care doctor
Dehydration means the body does not have enough water to carry out its normal processes.
Most susceptible to serious dehydration are young children with fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. In adults, some medications increase urination and can lead to dehydration. Anyone exercising vigorously, especially in hot weather, can quickly become dehydrated.
Symptoms include extreme thirst; dry mouth; infrequent, dark-colored urine; dizziness; and confusion. Young children may have sunken eyes, cheeks, and soft spot on top of the skull.
Severe dehydration is a serious medical emergency that can lead to heat stroke, kidney damage, seizures, coma, and death. Take the patient to the emergency room or call 9-1-1.
Diagnosis is made through blood tests and urine tests.
Mild dehydration can be treated simply by drinking extra water, or water with electrolytes such as sports drinks. More serious cases may be hospitalized for intravenous fluids.
It's important for anyone who is outside in hot weather, or who is ill, to drink extra fluids even before feeling thirsty as thirst is not always a reliable guide.
Rarity: Rare
Top Symptoms: fatigue, dizziness, vomiting or diarrhea, racing heart beat, being severely ill
Urgency: Hospital emergency room
Earwax blockage
Ear wax production is a normal process, as the body makes wax to protect the ear from infection. Sometimes ear wax can build up and cover the eardrum, which is a thin layer of skin that stretches across the end of the ear canal and picks up sound from outside. Ear wax buildup has nothing to do with poor hygiene, and it is not possible to prevent a build-up by washing.
Rarity: Uncommon
Top Symptoms: dizziness, dry cough, ear canal pain, ear fullness/pressure, ringing in the ears
Symptoms that never occur with earwax blockage: swollen ear, fever
Urgency: Phone call or in-person visit
Possible meniere's disease
Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear. It can cause severe dizziness, a roaring sound in the ears called tinnitus, hearing loss that comes and goes and the feeling of ear pressure or pain. Meniere's commonly develops between the ages of 20 and 60, and most often starts in only one ear.
Rarity: Uncommon
Top Symptoms: nausea, episodic dizziness, ringing in the ears, vertigo (extreme dizziness), ear fullness/pressure
Urgency: Primary care doctor

Meniere's disease
Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that affects balance and hearing.
Meniere's disease is due to an abnormality in the inner ear that results in low levels of fluid, thus interfering with the sense of balance. The abnormality may be hereditary or it could be from allergies, autoimmune disease, or other illness.
Symptoms usually affect only one ear and include severe attacks of vertigo, or the sensation of spinning; tinnitus, or ringing in the ear; pressure inside the ear; and increasing deafness. These symptoms are unpredictable and can come and go without warning.
Meniere's disease is progressive and will not go away on its own. It can lead to a severe loss of hearing and balance, and so a medical provider should be seen at the earliest symptoms.
Diagnosis is made through patient history; physical examination; hearing tests; and balance tests.
There is no cure for Meniere's disease, but it can be treated with motion sickness and anti-nausea medicines, hearing aids, and occasionally surgery.
Rarity: Uncommon
Top Symptoms: nausea, ringing in the ears, vertigo (extreme dizziness), ear fullness/pressure, brief fainting episode
Symptoms that always occur with meniere's disease: dizziness: at least 2 episodes
Urgency: Primary care doctor
Vasovagal syncope
Vasovagal syncope is sudden fainting caused by a sudden drop in heart rate and blood pressure when your body overreacts to certain emotional or neurologic triggers. A loss of consciousness occurs due to reduced blood flow to the brain.
Those with vasovagal syncope will also experienc...
Orthostatic syncope (fainting)
Orthostatic syncope refers to a type of loss of consciousness caused by rapidly standing up from a sitting position, and not enough blood reaches the head. This can cause a person to pass out, but then come back to consciousness without lasting effects.
Rarity: Uncommon
Top Symptoms: lightheadedness, brief fainting episode, dizziness and lightheadedness before passing out, fainting after standing up, fainting for the first time
Symptoms that always occur with orthostatic syncope (fainting): brief fainting episode, fainting after standing up
Urgency: Phone call or in-person visit
Hypertensive crisis
Hypertensive crisis occurs when your blood pressure becomes dangerously high (180/120 mm Hg), to a level that can damage your organs. Hypertensive crisis is categorized as "hypertensive urgency" if the blood pressure is high without damage to organs, and as "hypertensive emergen...
