TravelCare® powers 10% of the Fortune 100. Used by Medical Directors, Occupational Health and Human Resources departments - TravelCare is a proven corporate travel health resource for companies needing to ensure their traveling employees and contractors are prepared for the risks of international travel. With TravelCare - Companies can fulfill their duty of care by delivering timely medical, safety and destination-centric recommendations prior to overseas travel. See the demo.
Duty of Care - "Duty of Care" is gaining importance in corporate America. Increasingly, employers have a responsibility to ensure their employees are aware of the medical, safety and security risks when traveling abroad. Imagine having an employee travel to a developing country and contracting a preventable disease. In theory the employer could be liable for not providing the information and or medical treatment prior to travel. The costs of lost work days, related medical care and potential liability exposure are great. Thus many corporations with employees who travel internationally are turning to TravelCare for a real time solution to manage their Duty of Care responsibility.
Action vs. Information - Most Employers and their respective travelers overlook routine vaccinations, prescription medicines and OTC drugs that may eliminate or reduce travel related illnesses. Employers tend to inform vs. require action on behalf of their employees. By being proactive, employers can reduce sick time, lost days or weeks of work and reduce the continuing escalation of health care costs related to travel illness. TravelCare is an easy to implement and use corporate travel health solution.
Reducing Potential Liabilities - Using TravelCare allows the employer to inform the employee about prevalent diseases and illnesses in the destination country. Providing that information is the first step in ensuring the employee's safety. The next step is making sure that the employee has complied with the medical recommendations by speaking or visiting with a medical specialist. TravelCare can offer its network of medical professionals in the event the corporation requires travel medicine services.

It is about relationships and creating a unique professional experience with "customers"—not tenants. We live in a world of instant gratification and the expectation for property management is no different. In an effort to accommodate that level of expectation, customer service platforms are now based on relationship management—a direct connection with the individual tenant. The better the customer experience and the more personal it is to their needs, the better the relationship, which means higher lease renewal, increased referrals and greater rental rate tolerance. Establishing that relationship is based on meeting the customer's basic needs in a timely manner. Heat, air, cleaning, lighting, security and parking are the top priorities. The objective of today's astute property manager is to anticipate and satisfy these basic needs before the customer has to ask. And thanks to the advancement of building automation systems, managers are able to monitor and proactively address many issues before the customer is event aware of the potential situation. …with more automation creeping into our industry, it is essential to keep the personal level customer relationships going at all times. However, with more automation creeping into our industry, it is essential to keep the personal level customer relationships going at all times. This is where communication is crucial. Open dialogue facilitates engagement and trust, and allows property managers to get to know their customers on a more personal level. Using this knowledge, managers can create events and programs that are specific to that building and that encourages a sense of community. Onsite amenities are also a must to give properties and their managers a competitive edge—from conference centers, fitness centers, tenant lounge areas, game rooms, putting greens, wine bars, patios with fire pits, ride share bicycles, collaborative meeting areas, etc. The amenities don't necessarily have to be top-of-the-line, but a variety of options are expected. KBS has partnered with highly-customer centric management firms to oversee its properties and deliver that customer service excellence that is synonymous with the KBS brand. The efficacy of this strong management team is in the numbers. KBS conducted a survey on its prestigious Providence Towers and 3811 Turtle Creek properties in Dallas. Both properties boast impressive amenities and business environments, with incredible management teams to match. According to the KBS Kingsley Survey, both properties scored significantly above KBS portfolio averages and the Kingsley national average index. The top two areas indicative of tenant satisfaction are "overall satisfaction with management" and "management's accommodation of special requests." Second to these are three more categories: satisfaction with management's communication, access and professionalism. Leading the polls in customer relationship and satisfaction is where it counts—and it extends beyond just the customer level. The brokerage community is acutely aware of who is managing local properties and will initiate relationships with the management team as part of their due diligence before exposing their client to that property. The direct communication between brokers and property managers has become much more common throughout the term of leases—not just through the initial process. The success of most businesses is based on customer relationships, and property management is no exception. When it comes to being a manager of the future, integrity, responsiveness and professionalism helps ensure excellence. Visitors recognize this difference. Mark Brecheen is a Senior Vice President for KBS, overseeing over 1.9 million square feet in the western U.S.

This is the word I chose for the year. As an intentional living and mindful habit, I noticed people choosing words instead of specific goals during the last two or three years. These are words we try to live into throughout the year. Picking a word instead of a deed changes the way we live.
Many of the people I work with are entering into a season of life, caring for their parents. We have been well trained caring for our children. If we were lucky enough to be cared for by our parents, if they let us, we begin to take on more of the care for them.
It isn't a coincidence I chose this for my word this year. Now that it is the season of lent, I am taking the time to reflect on suffering more. In the past I considered suffering a lonely word. But, my new learning puts caring right alongside suffering. It is the promise of hope.

Weather Instruments
Wireless Weather Station ReviewWritten by Nicholas Kamuda
Without a doubt, online consumer reviews sites are the best place to find current information on all kinds of products, including wireless weather station reviews. Technology review sites abound with a number of different focuses, including home electronics reviews, gadget-guy (or girl) reviews, and niche market enthusiast review sites.
Types of Websites for Wireless Weather Station Reviews
Home electronics reviews may be the most numerous, and the number of these sites seems to grow by the day. As yesterday's tech pioneers mature and become today's homeowners, you can expect this kind of site to keep on growing. Focusing on home electronics give contributors to and compilers of home review sites a lot of flexibility as well. You can often find products that are only loosely related to home maintenance (DVD players, digital cameras) reviewed in full as well.
Another great type of website for wireless weather station reviews is gadget review websites. In general, gadget review sites are a little more in-depth and technical than home electronics websites. Home electronics sites seem to focus on anecdotal reviews, whereas gadget sites cut right to the meat of the product. How much does it cost? How does it compare to the pro models? These are questions for gadget review sites.
Enthusiast review sites are a grab bag of product reviews, opinions, related anecdotes, and photography, among other things. Weather-related enthusiast sites often include great home weather station reviews, and previews of brand new weather instruments as well. They also offer a great forum for any questions that you may have about weather-related products and issues.

By Amber Rockliffe, Global News September 29, 2013 - SASKATOON - A new affordable housing development "Hartford heights" has officially opened in Saskatoon. The complex has the most energy-efficient rental units in all of Canada. The development was created to house skilled workers and their families.
"It's one thing to have a strong economy but we need homes for people to live in," said Mayor Don Atchison.
Tenants will have access to credit building and deposit matching programs.
"We work with tenants in those one to three years to help them get over those initial hurdles, so we can actually see them move on into home ownership down the road," said Tyler Mathies, Innovative Residential co-founder and CEO.
The total cost for the development is about $7.4 million, with the federal and provincial governments jointly pitching in $2 million for the project.
"This project really is for anybody, but in particular we've got a lot of key workers in Saskatoon," said Mathies.
"We can have rents as low as about $750 and $1050 for a 2 bedroom and 3 bedroom home."
It became apparent the prices may not be ideal for "all" modest income earners.
If two parents, one earning the province's $10/hour minimum wage full time, and the other earning the minimum wage part time, were to live in the complex with a combined income of less than $2,400 monthly, their rent would have to be less than $720 per month, or they would be paying more than 30 per cent of their gross income to housing.
This is a threshold that is concerning for groups like the Saskatoon Housing Initiatives Partnership. In a release, the organization said it makes people vulnerable to homelessness and food insecurity.
Still, many hope innovative new projects like this will target all wage earners.

Vision Vancouver hopes to make it a full decade in power after this November's municipal election, and is confident enough of its controversial record to build a campaign around it.
Meanwhile, a plethora of opposition parties struggle to differentiate themselves from each other, relying mostly upon principles rather than clear policy ideas.
Many of the audiences were vehement in their opposition to Vision at the half-dozen debates that I attended. They cited top-down decision making, a lack of consultation, predetermined planning applications, broken promises, and a litany of lawsuits against the city.
Vision warns that electing the NPA would jeopardize the building of additional supportive housing and rental housing. Vision's incumbent candidates admit that it has been difficult to achieve their promises given the lack of substantial funding from senior levels of government, and defend their decision to approve towers built outside of downtown as being a necessary compromise to procure money from developers to build housing for the city's marginalized.

Better again!
We are better. Hooray. I credit getting in the sea and taking Potter's herbal remedies. This stuff is just amazing, it really works!! It has been around since 1812 (I think), and is full of natural goodness, I will certainly be using this in the future (should it ever be needed). As for the sea, well this is good for the soul as much as the sinuses, and it is getting warmer now too, honestly!
All this illness is interesting, as it does make you slow down a little, which is one of the reasons we get sick I guess, trying to do too much in the first place!! And it makes you take better care of yourself too. Anything really, to get rid of the blasted common cold!
So I am getting really excited about the release of Coldplay's new album. I have been listening to an interview with Chris Martin, which has been really interesting, to gain a little more of an insight into the spirit of this man, who writes the lyrics to songs with such heart-felt honesty and talks of being broken. I agree with him though, we are all a bit broken. I believe that it is by being broken that we can really connect with the essence of the soul.
We are so much more than we ever truly realise. And each challenge that we face (for there are many) has the potential not only to make us stronger, but to make us more connected with the true self, to tap into our innate wisdom and allow expression of the spirit. I am certainly learning to embrace the challenges, and accept them as part of the process.
It is difficult not to let the spirit shine when the weather is as beautiful as it has been the last few days, wow, not only have we managed to get in the sea, but we have gardened and walked and just enjoyed being outside. Long may it continue, it is just so refreshing to feel human again and Elijah has all his energy and wants to be on his feet all the time - yes my arms are aching!
He started swimming lessons with Daddy this week and he starts yoga with Mummy and the lovely Anita tomorrow, Mummy is very excited about that! Life feels so vibrant at the moment with all the energy of new life, and summer on its way, it is all so very exciting.
So on that note, best get off to play x

K&N Engineering, a longtime provider of specialty and racing filter applications, is rolling out a new lineup of aftermarket filters exclusively designed for distributors and repairers serving drivers within the do-it-for-me marketplace.
"While we enjoy tremendous market share in the performance filtration market, we have learned that over 70 percent of filtration sold in North America is installed on a consumer's vehicle," says senior sales director Dennis Grau. "Our Professional Series filter line includes oil filters, air filters and cabin air filters that combine filter performance and long life. The K&N Traditional Aftermarket program also includes our washable air filters and cabin air filters; both lines feature our million-mile warranty."
Founded in Riverside, Calif. in the early 1960s by Ken Johnson and Norm McDonald – both now retired – with an initial emphasis on motorcycle and championship-caliber off-road and track racing products, K&N (for Ken and Norm) has expanded over the years to encompass a 400,000-sq.ft. complex of 10 buildings. Facilities are also located in England and The Netherlands, with the company marketing 5,000-plus products into more than 30 nations.
With a lineup aimed at cars, standard and heavy duty trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, ATVs, UTVs, snowmobiles, watercraft, agricultural and earth-moving equipment, outdoor power equipment and other applications, K&N's in-house operations include engineering, product design, manufacturing, warehousing, test facilities, purchasing, sales, customer service, marketing and corporate offices.
The company's manufacturing capabilities are wide-ranging, such as air filter production, CNC machine shop, tube bending and welding, powder coating, roto-molding, carbon fiber production, air intake assembly, packaging and related fabrication.
Several initiatives are being developed – including point of sale materials, an Authorized Dealer designation for participating shops and a motorist-based media campaign – to position the company's products as the primary filter brand carried by the installer channel.
Covering all makes and models, "the financial benefit to the shop owner is increased margin when selling our filtration products." And being able to offer the peace-of-mind guarantee "allows the shop to charge a fair price appropriate for an ultra-premium product," Grau notes.
"Today the average new car is financed for 70 months," says Grau. "Shops who understand the customer is keeping their car for nearly six years embrace our washable filter program. These shop owners earn industry-leading margins using our million-mile warranty to make the sale by saving their customers hundreds of dollars over the length of time they own their vehicle. We also show shop owners how to develop a loyal customer base when the consumer returns to the shop to have their filter washed."
A significant portion of the company's marketing efforts are now being directed toward the DIFM segment. "We have campaigns launching with specific calls-to-action that include, 'Ask for K&N products at your local installer.' We expect to drive a significant volume of impressions around these campaigns throughout 2019."
Individual repairers can accumulate desirable "K&N points" under the Professional Technicians Rewards program.
Fleet accounts and program groups are being addressed as well. "When we show the fleet owner the cost associated with buying as many as 13 disposable air filters compared to one of our re-usable filters they quickly realize the benefit of our program. Some of our fleet customers reports savings up to 70 percent over the life of the vehicle. Our program is designed to deliver incremental sales and margin growth for our program group partners and the members within their organizations."
Local market planning
Valuable instruction can be obtained through K&N University Field Training Clinics along with a package of educational videos. "We do not want our video training series to be viewed simply as a K&N commercial," says Grau. "We will provide the shop owner and their technicians important technical information that will teach filtration as well as provide tips on how to sell premium filtration. One glaring opportunity is training the market on the negative results of not replacing the oil, air or cabin air filters on a regular basis."
He goes on to point out that "49 percent of consumers will purchase premium filtration if they are provided with an option at the time of purchase. Our Business and Productivity training program includes helping our WD customers and shop owners understand how to sell premium filtration. The goal of our field and video training is to provide the tools to make the premium sale and realize the margin benefit of K&N."
100 Years and Still Accelerating
Only here can you read the unique history of Mitchell 1 and see how the company is accelerating through the coming years to bring more services and features to automotive pros.
The company's Local Market Planning effort consists of working with WDs to assist them in identifying growth opportunities among area fleets and service centers.
"We meet with our customers to establish a joint sales target for the year. During this meeting we also establish our plan for the year relative to field support, promotional calendar, training programs and new business targets," Grau reports. "We implement the program immediately and schedule quarterly business reviews to review our progress and implement corrective actions if appropriate. As a premium filter supplier, this program is helpful to reach our customers' sales and margin objectives for their filtration program.
Grau says K&N tries to support WD customers with strong field support. The K&N team makes calls on service providers and fleets on behalf of its customers. "We also offer the market an exclusive product lineup that can only be purchased through traditional warehouse distributors. Additionally we have a unique pricing system to simplify the sales process throughout the distribution channel," he adds.
Stocking expertise delivered via the Customer Line Maximization program "ensures that our customers have the appropriate inventory relative to SKU assortments to meet the needs of their customer base. We also help our customer manage their inventories," Grau says. "For example, if an SKU isn't producing the desired turns we would rather return the product and replace it with an SKU that will sell better – a slow-moving item does the customer and K&N no good."

My Granddaddy is known for his vegetable beef soup! Growing up, I couldn't get enough!! Even when I went to college, he would make it in bulk and freeze it for me to take back to school. Man, it's the best! Now, this isn't his recipe, but he definitely is the inspiration behind it. As y'all know, I am ALL about using what is already in the pantry. I try to keep vegetables stocked up at home {canned or frozen} because they make it so easy to throw something together that is nutritious. I had some left over ground beef --from making spicy cranberry meatballs for our Christmas Party {see more about that here} and I wanted to use it before it went bad. {FYI, I made this recipe back in December, but am just now posting it! So the beef was just two days old, not two months! haha}. I threw in whatever I could find in my cabinets/fridge that I needed to use. That is the great thing about soups-- you can really throw in whatever you have and it turns out great!! This soup hit the spot. It is a blizzard today in NYC and I am craving this soup, which is was led me to post it today. I just want to stay at home, bundle up on the couch and eat this soup!! Take a look...
- 1/2 of ground beef or ground turkey
- 1/2 yellow onion, diced
- 2 large carrots, peeled and diced
- 1 {15oz} can corn, drained
- 1 {15oz} can diced tomatoes
- 1 1/2 cups English peas {I used frozen}
- 1 1/2 cups green beans, cut in half {I used frozen}
- 3 red new potatoes, medium diced
- 4 cups of beef or vegetable broth
- 2 tsp olive oil
- Salt & pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- In a medium stock pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once heated, add onions and carrots and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until vegetables begin to soften. Remove from heat and place veggies on a plate and set aside.
- Using the same pot, heat over medium-high heat. Add beef, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, breaking the beef into pieces. Cook until beef is browned.
- Add cooked onions & carrots, and all remaining vegetables to the pot with the beef. Add 4 cups of broth and stir to mix well.
- For extra flavor, I added chili powder and paprika to the pot of soup. Stir to combine.
- Bring pot to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat, cover and let simmer. I let my simmer for about 1-2 hours. I would recommend tasting it after 30 minutes or so to see if you need to had more salt, pepper or spices.
- I toasted some Hawaiian rolls, which went perfect with the soup!
Enjoy <3 Norma

Gym Strength versus Game Speed
The best thing you can do for your sport is improve speed. Whether you run marathons or play rugby, getting faster will result in a better performance and more victories! But a common mistake in training programs is the lack of focus on game speed.
To turn yourself into a FREAK athlete you need to be strong AND fast. It doesn't matter how much you bench when you're the slowest guy on the field. So we need to focus on building game speed. This is done through lifting HEAVY weights in the BIG exercises (squat, deadlift, power clean, bench, pull-ups etc.).
This is where a lot of athletes/coaches go wrong; after they've trained heavy in a few solid exercises they either stop and go home or continue with extra worthless exercises. The following points must be satisfied in any program:
- Total recovery must occur between workouts
- Strength must increase every workout
- After strength, the next important component of fitness must be trained too (e.g. strength + speed, strength + aerobic endurance, strength + power)
Which means that:
- Don't waste recovery ability with useless exercises/workouts
- Train for strength every workout
- Improve another quality needed for your sport in each workout
With that said, when training for game speed we must satisfy all of the above points. So lift heavy in a big exercise for multiple sets of 1-5 reps for a total of 10 quality heavy reps excluding warm-ups. Then move on to speed work. This is not as difficult as it may appear; to get better at running fast, practise running fast!
Yep, all you have to do is run multiple short sprints following your strength work and you'll get super quick! I prefer training the 10m sprint with my athletes as the transfer of speed will carryover 100% to any longer distances, but it's such a short distance that full recovery between workouts is achievable.
It requires great self control to do less work in the gym, but the results will often speak for themselves. 2 sets of 5 reps in the deadlift plus 5 x 10m sprints for 5 days a week is a good example of a 'less is more' type training plan. Two days a week of the same exercises but using 3 sets of 3 reps plus 8 x 10m sprints is an even more abbreviated plan that will get great results.
Training is not complicated. It's our inner desires for bigger arms and world record breaking bench presses that's the problem. So this week I want you to evaluate your program with the following question; Is this exercise necessary to either get stronger or faster for my sport? If it's a no then drop the exercise, go home and recover.

Is ACL Surgery Covered by Insurance
Athletes with a torn ACL are often recommended by orthopedists to undergo ACL surgery. An orthopedist will fix the torn ligament by using a graft to ensure that the knee can get back to its normal functionality. More often than not, a large number of patients who incur a torn ACL have many questions related to the tear. Here are some frequently asked questions.
What is ACL tear?
ACL or the anterior cruciate ligament is one of the main ligaments located in the front section of a person's knee. This ligament has several functions, which include stabilizing the knee and keeping the knee from turning or from overstretching. If a person has a torn ACL, it is normally due to hyper-extending or sudden twisting of his knee.
Symptoms of an ACL tear
There are a few symptoms of ACL tears, for instance, a patient may not be able to bend his knee right after he incurs the injury. Then, he will typically have major swelling along with extreme pain around his knee a few days later.
Is surgery necessary?
It all depends on the seriousness of the tear. If it is a major tear to his ligament, an orthopedist will recommend ACL surgery. The orthopedic surgeon will run several very important tests to determine how serious the injury is and once he diagnoses the severity of it, he will continue with the proper surgical procedure.
How long does it take to perform surgery?
A highly experienced orthopedist will take about 60 to 90 minutes to perform the ACL surgery.
Does insurance cover knee surgery?
Patients who have a torn ACL should initially check with their insurance carrier and plan to find out if the carrier covers the ACL surgery. Normally, a large number of insurance carriers only cover certain areas of a medical condition and its various treatments. It is better that patients perform as much research as they can in regards to this matter.

Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 26 October 2017 (ECA) – Africa's core economic sectors are highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate variability and change, says James Murombedzi, Officer in Charge of the Economic Commission for Africa's African Climate Policy Center (ACPC).
Speaking at the beginning of a two-day Training of Trainers workshop in Addis Ababa, Mr. Murombedzi said it is crucial for the continent to mainstream climate information services into development policy, plans and processes.
He added unless Africa develops a strong, scientific understanding of the impacts of the changing weather and climate patterns on its vital sectors and how this will change in the future, the continent's sustainable development agenda was at risk.
"With effective climate information services, our climate-sensitive sectors will be able to cope better with increased variability, bringing greater agricultural and other productivity while building resilience and improving livelihoods across the continent," said Mr. Murombedzi.
He underscored that accurate and accessible climate information, for example rainfall and wind information, helps farmers decide not only when to plant and harvest, but when to dry their crops, and when to look out for pests and disease outbreaks that can ruin yields.
"Working with information in this way, farmers increase their chances of boosting productivity and avoiding post-harvest losses," Mr. Murombedzi said, adding that meeting these needs was the focus of this emerging field called Climate Information and Services (CI/S), which aims to bridge the gap between climate science, policy and practice for adaptation decision-making and disaster resilience.
The ACPC boss was addressing 26 instructors from African parliaments, media training institutions, civil society organizations, youth and regional training institutes attending the ToT on mainstreaming climate information services into development policy, plans and processes.
The training of trainers workshop, a collaborative initiative between ECA, United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) and the African Institute of Economic Development and Planning (IDEP) under the framework of the Weather Information and Climate Services (WISER) initiative, aims to build a critical mass of trainers who will assist in building capacity of legislators, decision-makers, private sector, investors, various climate practitioners at national sub-national and local levels to understand the role of CI/S in adaptation planning, sectoral development, managing disaster risks and planning for future risks especially when designing infrastructure development.
Over the last year, the ACPC, in collaboration with UNITAR, developed an open-access Climate Information and Services online training module as an output from the WISER initiative. The module aims at building: (i) awareness among various development actors of the value and centrality of Climate Information (CI) and Climate Information Services (CIS) to the planning process; and (ii) their capacities to integrate CI and CIS into development planning, policies and programmes.
The ACPC is hosting the Training of Trainers to roll-out the e-tutorial into selected key institutions on the continent.
Participants include representatives from the parliaments of Benin, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Liberia, Sierra-Leone, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe; the East Africa Legislative Assembly, representing Uganda, Rwanda and Tanzania and from four regional media training Institutes; ESSTIC of the University of Yaounde II in Cameroun; the CESTI of the University of Dakar; Institut Superieur de l'Information et de la Communication of Morocco; and the Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ).
Addis Ababa and Mekele Universities of Ethiopia were also represented as was the Ethiopia Management Institute, Walta Information Centre. The Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance (PACJA); the Climate Smart Agriculture Youth Network (CSYAN); IDEP; and UNITAR as well.
This ToT will be followed by a national roll-out workshops across the African continent with the goal of reaching 2,000 beneficiaries by 2020.
The ToT targets trainers from African Parliaments, professionals from the media, CSO training Institutes and the youth. The Tot will help participants to learn how to turn the delivery of the CIS e-learning material into participatory learning experiences, how to improve the design of flexible learner-centered activities, as well as ownership of knowledge on climate information (CI) and climate information services (CIS) and the mainstreaming of CI and CIS into development and macroeconomic planning.

Antique Tibetan Sword dpa'am- Circa 1700-1800- Hairpin Damascus (Thur) (ID: cs1245)
Antique Tibetan Sword dpa'am- Circa 1700-1800- Hairpin Damascus (Thur)
|( ID: cs1245 )
A good representative example of an early and classic Tibetan fighting sword with the original scabbard and with a damascus blade.
The scabbard has the classic U-shape frame, with the lower part of the frame in iron and the remaining in leather over timber. The blade is in used condition with the chisel type representative on Tibetan swords, generally from Western and Central Tibet, and less so of those further east from Kham and more influenced on and by Bhutanese forms. The blade is slightly loose from age.
The blade displays the telltale dark and light lines of the classic Tibetan forging which necesitated the fusing of soft and harder iron in the low temperature high altitude forging conditions of the Himalayas.The damascus or thur pattern consists of seven dark and six light lines. The blade would have been made from three folded rods or darker softer, called "female" iron (mo lcags), alternated with three folded rods of harder lighter colored iron, referred to as "male" (pho lcags), with a single darker female iron rod centered between them. This core is then surrounded by lighter colored female iron which would take an edge better.
The technique is emblematic of Tibetan blades, and is not found elsewhere in this manner.
Reference: LaRocca, D. (2006) - Warriors of the Himalayas- Rediscovering the Arms and Armor of Tibet
Overall length is 32", blade is 25".

GLENDORA – Azusa Pacific University has looked like an offensive juggernaut though the first half of the football season, but Saturday night, the Cougars met their match.
Lyndon Rowells rushed for 157 yards and two touchdowns and Mike Proulx threw for 168 yards and three scores, and visiting Humboldt State scored a 49-32 victory over APU in a nonconference game at Citrus College.
The Lumberjacks, who outscored the Cougars 35-15 in the second half, improved to 5-1.
John van den Raadt, one of the top rushing quarterbacks in the country, accounted for 343 yards and four TDs to lead APU, which slipped to 4-2 after losing for the second consecutive week.
"You can't win football games like this," APU coach Victor Santa Cruz said.
"We squandered one away. Hats off to Humboldt, but we didn't give them the type of team we can be."
Early on, the Cougars did.
Van den Raadt, who completed 20 of 40 for 213 yards, sparked APU to a 14-0 lead, rushing 18 yards for a touchdown at 3:54 of the first quarter and following that up with a 15-yard pass to Aaron Wall for a two-TD advantage with 13:55 to go in the half.
But Humboldt State, which is expected to battle for a spot in the NCAA Division II playoffs, recovered, pulling to within 17-14 by halftime following Proulx TD passes of 11 and 15 yards.
Rowells, who caught the second TD strike, then gave the Lumberjacks the lead, going up the middle for 54 yards and a 21-17 advantage on the first play of the second half.
"(Rowells) is a great runner," Santa Cruz said. "This is college football. I don't expect to play bad athletes every week. It's dominating football with great opponents. Everybody has athletes; we'd better be prepared to tackle them."
Humboldt then caught APU off guard on a Van den Raadt punt. The ball appeared to be downed by the Cougars at the Lumberjacks 13, but with it still rolling, Jordan Smith-McGowan scooped it up and returned it 87 yards to make it 28-17 with 12 minutes left in the third quarter.
"That was a big momentum swing," van den Raadt said, "but as an offense and as a team, we have to overcome that."
The Cougars couldn't, although Van den Raadt kept trying.
He had a 34-yard TD pass to Wall to make it 28-24 with 3:41 left in the quarter before following with a 5-yard TD run to make it 42-32 with 5:08 left in the game.
Daniel Wyatt, however, clinched it with a 10-yard touchdown run to make it 49-32 with 2:57 remaining.

Former Mr Universe candidate Malcolm Sherratt reckoned he needed a wheelchair and help getting dressed.
He made the bogus claims over an eight-year period but was exposed after investigators filmed him in the fitness centre.
The fraudster was spotted on CCTV working out twice a day and lifting heavy weights.
Sherratt, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, admitted five counts of fraud and was jailed for 12 months.
The grandad also claimed he needed help going to the toilet, getting up in the morning and with his cooking.
He began pocketing the benefits after competing in amateur bodybuilder competition Mr Universe in 2007.
Judge David Fletcher told Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court: "It's perfectly clear that the basis on which you were making these claims was wholly dishonest.
"Frankly, it's a gross insult to the sort of people who are genuinely entitled to these benefits."
Sherratt was prosecuted after being probed by the Department for Work and Pensions.
He was paid disability living allowance, income support and pension credit.
The court heard he received the highest amount of mobility bene- fits available, normally reserved for those virtually unable to walk or who have no legs or feet.
Sherratt was quizzed by investigators but insisted he used a walking stick most days.
He claimed his buff body was "99% down to diet".
Kevin Mortlock, defending, said: "There has been some clouding in his mind of the fact he is in pain and his mobility.
"He accepts the claim forms were exaggerated. He regrets his actions and is upset about the impact it has had on his family."
This comes after a female Mrs Universe bodybuilder was exposed as a benefits cheat in a disability con.

"Hot Dog!" a great day for TOH at EHS 2015 Pets in the Park/
For the second consecutive year Tails of Help (TOH) had a booth at the Edmonton Humane Society's (EHS) major fundraiser "Pets in the Park". The event was organized by EHS at William Hawlerak Park in Edmonton on Sunday June 28. This experience was even better than our first time there last year. It was also even hotter and we really were "hot dogs" by noon in the exhibitor tent.
This year Royal Canin (RC) became a premier corporate sponsor for Tails of Help. Juliana from RC was on hand to volunteer at our booth and RC generously donated dog and cat treats to give out. We were also heavily promoting our TOH inaugural golf tournament coming this September 11 and we had lots of interest. One lady said she was going to buy a golf tournament admission for her husband for his birthday.
There were many people going by the booths and they all had positive things to say when they heard about our motto "Keeping pets healthy and with their loving families". Other humane groups and rescue societies were also very supportive of our work.
The very best part of volunteering at Pets in the Park this year was that we heard personal stories from our visitors about how Tails of Help had provided financial aid for family members, or other people that they knew, when they were in need for essential treatment for their pets. One lady told us how Tails of Help had helped her brother with his pet, and how happy the entire family was that our charity is there for support. They were extremely appreciative and thrilled that we existed. As a volunteer it was wonderful to know that TOH was making such a big difference for the lives of people and their pets. It really made all the hard work and support, of our many volunteers, donors, sponsors, and many veterinary clinics who have supported us, seem so worthwhile.
Seeing all the companion animals and their happy owners at Pets in the Park is always so exciting. Some of these pets are owned by people that receive Alberta government financial support through the Assured Income for the Severely Disabled program (AISH). These pets were such happy and loved animals and their owners cherish them deeply. When talking with these owners about Tails of Help, and that part of our focus is to provide financial assistance to qualifying AISH recipients in need for essential veterinary care, they were so happy. They told us how important their dog or cat was to them and what a difference it makes in their lives.
Tails of Help really makes a difference to both people and pets. That is why our volunteers enjoy it so much — we can really see the positive results it makes in the lives of Alberta pets and their families. We need your help to continue and to grow this support for Alberta families in need when they have ill or injured pets. Please consider giving your support by volunteering, or donating, at www.tailsofhelp.ca/give . Thank you!

As a father of two little creatures of 5 and 2 years old, I was really looking forward for this chapter. Despite my initial observations about chapters being too long, I have to admit that I wish this one to be longer.
Here the tone of the book changes,and we have a chapter focused on what can we learn from traditional societies. Diamond uses traditional societies as "a vast database of child-rearing." that reveals "the outcomes of thousands of natural experiments on how to rear children".
These experiments are also being carried away in our Western world, as parents are not that happy with the way states think children should be educated, like people trying again to give children at home instead of hospitals. And some are starting to be implemented as pilot experiments. For example, in the school I send my children, next course instead of putting in a classroom 22 kids of the same age, they are going to mix ages from 6 to 10 years, so kids do not learn just from the teacher, but from other kids of other ages as well.
The section on infanticide, of course, moves away from such tone, and we are shown how traditional societies do not have much options but to consider some forms of infanticide, besides some exceptions like the Siriono Indians in Bolivia.
Diamond understand that some differences on how different societies treat children are culture based, but he also argues that some others can be explained through differences in environment. For example, hunter-gatherer bands tend to do minimal physical punishment to kids, while they are a lot more common in farming societies. The main reason -according to Diamond- is that hunter-gatherers "tend to have few valuable physical possessions. But many farmers, and specially herders, do have material things, especially valuable livestock, so herders punish children to prevent serious consequences to the whole family."
The same happens with child autonomy: it heavily depends on the environment. infants of hunter-gatherers under one year living in the Amazon rainforests "spend about 93 % of their daylight time in tactile contact with a mother or a father (…) it is not until about three years of age that Ache children between three and four years of age spend 76% of their daylight time less than one meter away from their mother." And then, in mostly harmless environments like the Australian desert, children regularly go on foraging trips unsupervised y adults.
Like the others, this is chapter worth reading fully. Let me just list some of the stuff we, parents, can learn from traditional societies
– To stop using strollers, and carry babies horizontally and forward so there is physical contact between the child and the care-giver and infants and adults see the world from the same perspective.
– Giving more opportunities to kids to be with their fathers and allo-parents (aunts, uncles, grandparents) and share education among them all.
– To give kids more autonomy to explore, experiment with stuff and face the consequences of their behavior instead of over-protecting them.
– To pay more attention to children crying instead of the behaviorist position of letting them cry.
– To let children of different ages mix freely both playing and at school
– To let children sleep with their parents at least till a certain age.
– To develop games which are not based on competition or contest, but on cooperation and sharing.
– To help foster creativity in children letting them to build their own toys instead of buying them expensive "educational toys."
– To let children learn from adults and not separating play and education so drastically.
– To let education in children follow naturally from social life.
As usual, Diamond is careful about his conclusions. So far we got impressions, not hard science. It is very difficult to establish what are the reasons that generally make children in traditional societies more resilient, autonomous and empathic. But those impressions are relevant and an invitation to explore these natural experiments.
Let's give Diamond the last words:
Other westerners and I are struck by the emotional security, self confidence, curiosity, and autonomy of members of small-scale societies, not only as adults, but already as children. We see that people in small-scale societies spend far more time talking to each other than we do, and they spend no time at all on passive entertainment supplied by outsiders, such as television, video games and books. We are struck by the precocious development of social skills in their children. These are qualities that most of us admire, and would like to see in our own children, but we discourage development of those qualities by ranking and grading our children and constantly telling them what to do. The adolescent identity crises that plague American teen-agers aren't an issue for hunter-gatherer children (p. 208)

With nearly 1200 acres of land, the Arboretum is dedicated to conservation, the protection of plants, and deeper public understanding of the value, beauty and critical nature of plants in their lives. While most public gardens have conservation efforts, very few gardens are widely known as centers of research and/or conservation.
The Arboretum is a proud partner with the Center for Plant Conservation (CPC), an organization founded in 1984 that seeks to prevent the extinction of US native plants. As a partner in the CPC, the Arboretum is responsible for leading conservation efforts for seven species, which include an orchid (Platanthera praeclara, western prairie fringed orchid), a Minnesota endemic (Erythronium propullans, dwarf trout lily) and a Wisconsin endemic (Oxytropis campestris var. chartaceae, Fassett's locoweed).
The work and research for this program involves creating a long-term genetically diverse seed bank of each species as well as developing an understanding of how best to propagate and out-plant each species. The long-term goal of this program is to enable restoration work to be able to be performed with each species with the ultimate objective being successful restoration or preservation in situ. In addition, considering the changing climate, this work will help to preserve the genetic diversity necessary for each species to be able to adapt to climate changes, and will also enhance knowledge regarding how to successfully introduce these plants back into a natural or restored landscape.
The Arboretum focuses on "Ex Situ" conservation, which is the process of protecting an endangered plant outside of its natural habitat, In Situ, or "on site" conservation, preserving a species in its natural habitat, is the highest priority for species conservation, and is found to be the most efficient way of conserving biodiversity because it can preserve not just the species but the entire community and all of the ecosystem processes that support all of the members of the community. While in situ conservation efforts continue to set aside healthy landscapes, these landscapes are being affected, directly and indirectly by human activity, through climate change, water tables, irrigation, ever-encroaching developments, etc. Ex situ conservation can be thought of as an insurance policy in some regards, by backing up the genetics of endangered species we can ensure that if, or when, a species is lost in its natural landscape it can be replaced.
The Arboretum's regional leadership for endangered species work has resulted in partnerships with both the Minnesota and Wisconsin Departments of Natural Resources to assist in rescues of endangered species populations that have been under immediate threat.
While the majority of the Arboretum's endangered species are under watch and conservation at the Horticultural Reserach Center (HRC), there is one species open to visitors. Western Jacob's Ladder, or Polemonium occidentale ssp. lacustre, is a native perennial that is closely related to a subspecies of the Rocky Mountains, from which is gets its common name of Western Jacob's Ladder. The species requires wet swamps, primarily associated with cedar and alder. There are only six known populations of Jacob's Ladder, four of which are in Minnesota, and the remaining two in Wisconsin.

What is this page?
This is a collection guide. It is a description of archival material held in the Special Collections Division,
J.Y. Joyner Library, East Carolina University. The materials described here are physically available in our
reading room. None of the original documents in this collection are digitally available online at this time.
James T. O'Connell of New York City participated in World War I as a member of the 305th Infantry, 77th Division. The diary begins after O'Connell's induction into the Army and his reporting for active duty (September 10, 1917) and ends with his discharge in May, 1919. Sgt. O'Connell was the uncle of the donor.
Throughout the diary there are many colorful accounts of O'Connell's activities. He graphically describes his training experiences at Camp Upton, New York, and the contempt felt by most of his fellow soldiers toward the English crew on the ship taking them to Europe. Upon arrival in Europe, he was assigned to several British and French units to learn the duties of a forward observer. O'Connell aptly describes the daily problems and activities of soldiers in the trenches.
The diary also reflects the personal combat experiences of O'Connell. He describes patrolling in "no man's land," his experiences with gas attacks and his sometime comical relations with officers. Serving as a forward observer, O'Connell capably describes the activities of his unit in the Argonne offensive (1918) and combat action along the Meuse River.
After receiving news of the Armistice (November 11, 1918), O'Connell's unit finally left France on April 18, 1919, arriving at New York City six days later. The diary concludes with his discharge on May 19, 1919.
Included in the diary are two news articles. The first reports that New York City mayor LaGuardia had vetoed a proposal to rename a street after O'Connell and the second article reports the death of James O'Connell.
Also included within the O'Connell papers is a short letter (April 13, 1919) from O'Connell's commanding officer expressing his appreciation for loyal services rendered.
April 22, 1971, 1 volume; Diary (1917-1919). Deposited by Dr. James R. O'Connell, Greenville, NC.

My new acronym: RENDOM
Since this seems to play such a major role in everything over the past several months, it needs an acronym: RENDOM (Random European News Directly Obliterating Market).
