 26–31 August.That’s why best practices for site and facility management are thoroughly covered in ARVC’s two industry-specific certificate programs: the Outdoor Hospitality Management (OHM) and Outdoor Hospitality Professional (OHP) programs offered at the National School of RV Park and Campground Management (add link).
But site and facility management is not just the responsibility of managers and owners. It is part of the job of every team member. That is why the essentials of site and facility management will also be covered in a third certificate program, the Outdoor Hospitality Generalist (OHG), an online program for park employees that is now in development.
Like all components of the certificate programs, the site and facility management portions are specifically designed for the stage that the learners are currently at in their careers, which means each group will examine good business practices from different levels and from different decision-making perspectives.
Employees will discuss their role in ensuring the health and safety of all guests and why it is essential to follow the park’s crisis management plan. They will also learn how adhering to their job duties and performance standards can help them create the best possible guest experience. Finally, employees will learn how sustainability efforts can have a positive impact at their park and what they can do on a personal level to help make their park greener.
Managers, who carry more responsibility than their staff, will identify potential risk factors at their park and learn how to train employees to follow the park’s crisis management plan. They will discover resources that are available to them, including training standards for maintenance employees and check lists for them to use, to aid in the development of an effective maintenance plan and the communication of this plan to park employees. Finally, they will delve into the impact of sustainability efforts and discover how to develop park-specific training for their sustainability plan.
Owners are the ultimate decision makers and need to be prepared to make major decisions about how to protect the health and safety of their guests and staff. In their sessions, owners will not only identify potential risk factors at their park, but they will also learn ways to mitigate these risk factors by developing an effective crisis management plan. In addition to discovering resources that are available to aid them in the development of a wide variety of maintenance standards, they will identify ongoing training opportunities for maintenance personnel. Finally, owners will discuss the importance of implementing sustainability efforts at their park and identify resources that are available to aid in the development of a sustainability plan.
Certificate program participants also develop valuable skills in brand management, professionalism and leadership, human resources and business management and practices. Ready to learn more?

Recent experimental work by Cheng and co-workers (\textit{Nat.\ Comm.}\ \textbf{5}, 3218 (2014)) has introduced the concept of hindered urea bond (HUB) chemistry to design self-healing systems. Important control parameters are the steric hindrance of the HUB structures, which is used to tune the hydrolytic degradation kinetics, and their density. We employ molecular dynamics simulations of polymeric interfaces to systematically explore the role of these properties in a coarse-grained model, and make direct comparison to experimental data. Our model provides direct insight into the self-healing process, permitting optimization of the control parameters.I knew a girl who was super feminist, and super liberal, but refused to take any sort of genital mutilation seriously. "Some of them are just a needle prick" she would say.

This is the same person who got upset when I called her out on voting for her local representative without looking at their actual policies. Her response was to say that I'm just a man who wants to sustain power over women (her candidate was a woman). This was ridiculous because, A. I made it abundantly clear that I would probably vote for the same person given what I knew about them, and B. I didn't live in her district anyways and couldn't vote at all.'Great example' Ward-Prowse has Saints star's vote - how you can copy him!
SAINTS captain James Ward-Prowse has the vote of teammate Romain Perraud for the Premier League Player of the Season award, the Frenchman joked!
The 27-year-old England international is named on an eight-man shortlist for the coveted award alongside the likes of Mohamed Salah and Heung-min Son.
Ward-Prowse is the only player not playing for a European-chasing side to be nominated for the award.
The Saints academy graduate has scored nine goals, including four direct free-kicks, and registered a further five assists so far in the Premier League this season.
“I think I will vote for him to win,” Perraud told the Daily Echo with a smile.
You can join Perraud in voting for the skipper by following the link below!
Uniform alignment of ferroelectric liquid-crystal domains encapsulated by a polymer binder was established through a holographic exposure process. The refractive index modulation in these thin films is modeled as a phase grating that can be electrically addressed to erase the optical diffractive properties. A phenomenological model is developed to take into account a distribution of domain sizes and an effective field that stabilizes the ferroelectric liquid-crystal domains. A diffraction model successfully predicts changes in normalized intensities for first-order diffraction with applied field. These gratings demonstrate microsecond-scale response and relaxation times for various grating pitch sizes between ∼3 and ∼12 μm.
Florida State moved into the top spot in this week's FWAA-NFF Grantland Rice Super 16 poll.
The Seminoles (10-0, 7-0 ACC) earned 633 point and 26 of the 41 possible first-place votes after defeating Miami 30-26 Saturday night.
Alabama (9-1, 6-1 SEC) moved up two spots to second this week after beating Mississippi State 25-20 Saturday. The Crimson Tide earned 622 points and 13 first-place votes.
Oregon (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12), which was on a bye this week, remained third after garnering 580 points and two first-place votes.
Mississippi State (9-1, 6-1 SEC) dropped from first to fourth after the Bulldogs' loss to 'Bama – but 28 points ahead of TCU (9-1, 6-1 Big 12) at No. 5. The Horned Frogs beat Kansas 34-30. Baylor (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) was off this week and remained at No. 6. The Bears won the head-to-head matchup between TCU.

Puigdemont will attend the European Parliament’s international trade commission on Monday afternoon. The expresident has assured that he is “happy” to have been in the Sardinian town of Alghero and to have met “many, many Catalans, Algueres and Sardinians” during the Catalan culture festival Adifolk. “We have spent a few days in contact with traditional Catalan culture and now, to continue,” he said.
Puigdemont has not clarified whether he expects the European Parliament to rule on his arrest in Sardinia. “I have no idea,” he indicated in the corridors of the airport, where several people have yelled at him. “Just the opposite of the Spanish couple who sat next to me on the flight from l’Alguer to Rome. They wished me good luck,” commented the expresident on Twitter.
Upon arriving in Brussel·les, a group of Spaniards have begun to breed as madmen, surely a mica angry and ridiculous that they fa fer the country. Just to the contrary of the Spanish parella that s’ha assegut al meu costat to the vol from l’Alguer to Rome. M’han desitjat molta sort.
Puigdemont was arrested on Thursday at Alghero airport, by order of the Supreme Court, although he was released from the Bancali prison in the city of Sassari on Friday, when the Court of Appeal decided that it was not going to impose precautionary measures of any kind on him. nor movement restrictions by recognizing his immunity as an MEP.
Puigdemont will return to the island on October 4 to appear at the hearing in which they will analyze whether the conditions for its delivery to Spain are met. While his defense also plans to present very precautionary measures before the European Justice.
This entry was previously listed as "Fairgrounds Park" with a 1950 Allan Herschell Little Dipper. The source of this information has been lost. A short column in the June 13th, 1953 Billboard reads: "DANVILLE, June 6. - Ride operator Earl Anderson has opened a string of five rides at city -owned Douglas park here. New this season is a kiddie train, built by the Miniature Train Company. Other rides include a Merry -Go- Round, Autos, Boats and Allan Herschell Little Dipper. Anderson has had the location for several seasons." It is thought the previous "Fairgrounds Park" entry was referring to this park and roller coaster.
