The First Rule of Swimming by Courtney Angela Brkic
THE FIRST RULE OF SWIMMING by Courtney Angela Brkic
Publisher: Little, Brown and Company
I was provided with an advanced reader copy of this book from the publishers in exchange for an honest review. The book will be published tomorrow, 28 May 2013. The first thing that caught my attention to this book was the cover, it is absolutely beautiful.
The story is about two sisters, Magdalena and Jadranka, who lives on a small Croatian island called Rosmarina. From when they were young, they regularly corresponded with their cousin Katarina, who now lives in New York. Jadranka decided one day to leave for New York, upon Katarina's visit request, however she later decides to stay. Magdalena, although sad made peace with this, until she receives news from Katarina that Jadranka had disappeared. Magdalena sets off to New York to find her sister.
The sisters' past plays off on the island, Rosmarina, which by the descriptions sounds idyllic. I love how the author described it. The characters, I found to be very likeable as well. The story revolves around familiy secrets, which Magdalena discovers during her search for Jadranka and also which Jadranka discovers during her search for her real father. Family secrets is not all, there are betrayal, loss and pain. The sisters has a strained relationship with their mother, suffered abuse by the hands of their stepfather, but their mother herself also suffered abuse… a secret she kept from everyone in her family.
I loved reading this novel, it's atmospheric and an easy read. I found some questions unanswered, and some puzzles I would have loved to see resolved, but nonetheless I gave it a 4 star, because it was an enjoyable read.
If you like novels such as The Forgotten Garden and The House at Riverton by Kate Morton, you might just like this.

SAN DIEGO — A lot of people have experienced it. Working incredibly hard to drop some annoying extra weight only to stop dieting and gain all of the weight right back.
Dr. Candice Seti said she participated in yo-yo diets a few times before she became fed up and wanted to address the underlying issues, so she didn't have to be a slave to her diet forever.
She put together an incredibly effective method in her book, Shatter the Yo-Yo.
Seti, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Coach, Certified Weight Management Specialist, and Certified Expert Life Coach gave tips on how to get rid of the yo-yo diet forever.
The first and one of the most important factors to long-term weight management in sleep. Sleep helps keep your metabolism strong and your hunger and fullness hormones working in your favor. She says you should:
Exercise before bed
- Sleep in pitch black and silence
- Go to bed the same time every night
- Develop a pre-sleep routine, i.e., reading a book, sipping tea, meditating
- Maintain a temperature of 60 – 68 degrees
Next thing you should pay attention to is the amount of water you are drinking. Did you know that water is key to weight management because it keeps your system moving effectively and helps keep you from eating when you are actually thirsty!
- A glass when you wake in the morning
- A glass before meals
- Create water goals, i.e, number of glasses,
- Replace sugary drinks and sodas with water
- Go to the water fountain every hour at work
- Drink water with routine daily activities such as walking the dog
Another important thing to do is try and relieve chronic stress. Chronic stress is known to increase appetite and decrease metabolism.
- Nap
- Have a worry book (write down your worries and forget them until you have time to tackle them later)
- Phone a friend for support
- Exercise
- Create a Personal Proactive Stress Management Plan
Change your relationship with food
- Connect to your food to slow down your eating
- Experience it on all levels (smell, sight, taste texture)
- Be a mindful eater vs. mindless eater

Touring the Presidential Suite at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Mandalay Beach Resort in Oxnard, I admired the 1,600 sq. ft. space that includes a spacious master bedroom complete with a king-size bed and balcony looking out to the Pacific Ocean. There is an adjoining bathroom with a large inviting whirlpool soaking tub. The second bedroom features two queen-size beds and a full bathroom with walk-in shower. The grand living room and dining area have another balcony looking out to the picturesque Channel Islands.
Appreciating the views, I wanted to learn more about the Channel Islands chain that runs from Santa Barbara County down to Los Angeles County, dotting the Pacific Ocean. Meeting Christian Hellot, Director of Sales and Marketing at the onsite Coastal Grill restaurant for a California garden, farm and from-the-sea dinner we discussed the various islands while enjoying Executive chef Jacob Anthony Bernard's new menu items.
Hellot recommended I take an Island Packers cruise to Anacapa Island, since it is the closest island to the mainland, just 12 miles from the Channel Islands Harbor. Island Packers offers an array of cruises to some of the Northern Channel Islands.
After dinner I went to my 600-square-foot two-room suite for a good night's sleep. I appreciated the size of the separate bedroom and living area. One room had a king-size bed and adjoining granite bathroom with a tub/shower. There was a dining area with refrigerator, microwave and wet bar near another granite bathroom. My room on the second floor looked out to a tropical garden and pool area with two heated whirlpools. I opened my bedroom window and a cool, coastal breeze and the distant sound of the waves breaking on the beach lulled me to sleep.
The next morning I met my friend Janis after enjoying a complimentary breakfast buffet at the Coastal Grill. We discussed taking an Island Packers Wilderness Cruise to see some of the area wildlife and learn more about Anacapa Island.
After we checked in, we stopped in at Honey Cup cafe for sandwiches, chips and waters to enjoy on the boat ride.
The sea was calm and the sun was peeking through the fog, as one of the crew members informed us that Jacques Cousteau once said that Anacapa Island was one of his top 10 diving destinations in the world.
Looking down into the clear water as we approached the island, we saw kelp beds and bright orange garibaldi fish below. The Captain docked at a landing area to let backpackers and day trippers off to explore the island. A park ranger met the passengers to escort them up an impressive winding stairway with over 157 steps. This islet offers a two-mile hike for visitors to see the island's native vegetation and wildlife and to learn about the cultural history. Anacapa Island is known as the "Galapagos of North America."
Staying on-board we learned more about the history and significance of Anacapa Island. A historic lighthouse is located on one of the islets to prevent shipwrecks when the island is covered in fog. Approximately 90% of the sea birds in Southern California are born on this island. As there are no predators, it's a nesting area for seagulls, California brown pelicans and cormorants.
This island is five miles long with 200 sea caves, towering sea cliffs, natural bridges and a forty-foot-high Arch Rock. Kayakers and photographers find it one of the most picturesque islands of all the Channel Islands National Park. On the backside of the island, we saw hundreds of California sea lions warming in the sun.
Learning more about the different Channel Islands, we discovered that Santa Catalina Island is the only inhabited island. Approximately 4,000 residents live in the city of Avalon, a Mediterranean- looking town that is about one mile wide and one mile long. The best way to explore this Southern Channel Islands is by another boat charter company, the Catalina Express. It's about an one hour boat ride from Los Angeles County.
Near Santa Catalina Island are San Nicolas Island and San Clemente Island. Both are controlled by The United States Navy and are off limits to the public.
Santa Cruz Island is the largest of the eight islands and is partially owned and operated by the Channel Islands National Park Service. It's managed by the Nature Conservancy and other organizations and foundations as a preservation and research center. This island offers coastline cliffs, giant sea caves, pristine tide pools and expansive beaches. Those who take an Island Packers boat ride to the island will learn about the island's rich cultural history, which includes over 10,000 years of Chumash Indian habitation and over 150 years of European exploration. Visitors will see remnants of adobe ranch houses, barns, blacksmith and saddle shops, wineries and a chapel from the 1800s and 1900s.
The outer islands include Santa Rosa Island, San Miguel Island and Santa Barbara Island. They are open to the public year-round; however, Island Packers only travels to these distant islands when the weather is comfortable for boat travel. (Ocean conditions can be rough for visiting these islands.)
Cruising back to Oxnard, we followed, at a safe distance, two enormous blue whales swimming in the deepest part of the channel. Their blowholes were about the size of a manhole cover.
Coming back to the hotel before sunset, hotel guests gathered by the lagoon-style pool for the complimentary Evening Manager's reception, which offered an array of bar snacks and beer, wine, cocktails of the day and non-alcoholic beverages for guests. With a glass of wine in hand, I walked to the beach and admired the silhouette of the islands against the sun setting. Reflecting on what I discovered, Oxnard offers a beachfront resort along an uncrowded beach and is a great home base before and after taking a boat ride to one of the many unique Channel Islands.

Indian TV show "Kumkum Bhagya" is a family drama series aired on Zee TV on prime time on week nights. Yesterday's episode was full of high magnitude drama as Aaliya frames Pragya for doing forgery by putting down a story that Pragya forged power of attorney papers with the accountants help.
Aaliya tells Abhi that Pragya is a fraudster and wants to dupe him of all his money and property, but Abhi doesn't believe this and shouts at Aaliya for framing Pragya. Aaliya asks Abhi not to sign the cheque as Pragya wants to steal his money and the amount will go to her.
Abhi doesn't believe this and shows faith in Pragya honesty and refutes Aaliyah's charges against her. Aaliya snatches the papers from Pragya and shows to Abhi claiming that those were the power of attorney documents forged by Pragya as she wants to transfer his property to her name.
Dadi wants to know how Aaliya knows about this but Aaliya makes her quiet and very cunningly designs a story against Pragya that she overheard Pragya and accountant's conversation when Pragya made forged contract papers with accountants help.
Did Pragya really cheat Abhi?
The auditoracts like he is guilty and tries to run but Abhi catches him. Now the accountant behaves like innocent and blames her for cheating Abhi. He tells Abhi that Pragya offered him 10% commission for making attorney papers.
Aaliya continues the drama and asks Tanu to call the police, but Dadi scolds Aaliya for calling the police. The accountant holds his words, but Abhi doesn't believe him and says that he trusts Pregya Blindly.
Will Pragya come out scratch free from this trap?
Police walk in looking for Nikita Arora and Aaliya points to Pragya, but Abhi stops her and tells that the account must have done this.

Praagya holds Abhi's hands asks him if he really believes that she could do something like this.
Abhi asks the inspector to leave her and let them handle the situation but police arrests Pragya.
Audience stays tuned to know if Abhi will find the truth of Pragyya.

Here are a few web references comparing Peter with Jennifer and Peter with Bruce. Bear in mind that the following in a comparison on Ultimate Universe Jennifer Walters whose a Scientist. While we do not know what Jennifer(616) studied as a undergraduate student, I am assuming that she was a science major and if she hadn't become an attorney, she would be on par with Peter in that respect. This version of Jennifer never met Peter Parker as she only appeared in 4 issues
As for Peter and Bruce, the only one that comes to mind is Bruce Banner: The Amazing Spider-Man

Here is Peter Parker: The Hulk
The moral of my argument is the one thing that Jennifer, Bruce, and Peter have in common is their love for science...

lol shulkie's strength increased from class 50 to 75 to 90.
Seriously man you say you are a fan and yet you make up things that is not actually in the comics? Why not like the character for what she is instead of making up a history for her thats not there at all?
For me my first she-hulk related comic I read was the issue of avengers where she and some of the other female avengers where apartment hunting for her. Liked her from the first moment, A hulk that could actually fit into a normal team? Yes please.
When you write assume what you really mean is this is what I want and those are not the same thing.
Wanting She-Hulk to sell better is fine but misusing words like that is pointless.
Just watched the 1983 Incredible Hulk cartoon episode which had Jen in it, was very impressed with it actually. Smart, skilled and the Hulk's equal.

Iceland or Irish Moss Jelly
1 handful moss, washed in five waters, and soaked an hour.
1 quart boiling water.
2 lemons—the juice only.
1 glass of wine.
1/4 teaspoonful cinnamon. (Measure scantily.)
Soak the washed moss in a very little cold water; stir into the boiling, and simmer until it is dissolved. Sweeten, flavor, and strain into moulds. You may use two glasses of cider instead of one of wine for a fever-patient, putting in a little less water.
Good for colds, and very nourishing.

Dysentery Specific
(Particularly for bloody dysentery in Adults and Children.)
Take one pound gum arabic, one ounce gum tragacanth, dissolved in two quarts of soft water, and strained. Then take one pound of cloves, half a pound of cinnamon, half a pound allspice, and boil in two quarts of soft water, and strain. Add it to the gums, and boil all together over a moderate fire, and stir into it two pounds of loaf sugar. Strain the whole again when you take it off, and when it is cool, add to it half a pint sweet tincture rhubarb, and a pint and a half of best brandy. Cork it tight in bottles, as the gums will sour, if exposed. If corked properly it will keep for years.

Wart Remedy
Apply oil of cinnamon often as possible. A camel's hair brush may be used, but it is not necessary. A five-cent vial has been found sufficient to remove a large seed wart.

It's been a quiet start to the month across much of the state as we discussed would likely be the case in this month's outlook.
Month to date temperatures have been quite cold across the CONUS, with Denver running just about a degree below average through December 10th.
Denver's just seen a Trace of snow here and there so far this month. December, on average, picks up 8.1" of snow... so we have quite a bit of work to do if we're going to get anywhere near that by the end of the month.
This week isn't likely to help us get there.
We have a cold front moving through Wednesday evening that will drop our temperatures about 10 degrees for your Thursday. As it stands, it looks like wind and some colder temperatures will be the main impacts from this "event". We're likely to see a few snow showers across eastern Colorado, but not looking for those to amount to much at this time.
The best chance to see some light accumulation outside of the mountains appears to be along the Palmer Divide Wednesday evening/overnight, depending on timing of front. Both the NAM and GFS show a quick snow burst north of Colorado Springs, with perhaps a quick 0.5" to 1.5" in spots? Outside of these scattered pockets of snow, it'll mostly be wind. Here's the 3km NAM precipitation forecast for Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Note the snow first developing in the high country, then a few showers developing across eastern Colorado as well:
The bullish WPC outlook shows where we're most likely to see some minor accumulation if we see any –– south of Denver, north of Colorado Springs, with pockets of good snowfall for the high country to boot:
The NAM snowfall forecast is similar. A bit of snow across the Palmer, but little to no accumulation for the northern urban corridor, with perhaps a slightly better chance for northern reaches of Colorado Springs Wednesday evening:
Thursday looks to be cooler, but mostly dry. Highs in Denver will be in the 40s. For Friday and the weekend temperatures warm back into the 50s for Denver, with partly to mostly sunny skies in the forecast.

Pink Mamma, Paris
Authentic Italian food in Paris' pinkest building
Authentic Italian food in Paris' pinkest building
Pink Mamma is the latest addition to the Big Mamma restaurant group; masters of Italian dining who have so far introduced five successful Italian restaurants and informal pizza parlours to Paris. Pink Mama; located in the heart of the emerging Pigalle district, joins the portfolio as the group's sixth opening.
The vivid corner building is (unsurprisingly) vibrantly pink in colour, and draped in wild ivy, creating a prominent visual presence in an area of Paris generally associated with sex shops and music. Its unique design trades over four floors, offering a bespoke concept and distinctive interior design on each.
The beautiful basement bar, which stays open until the early hours, is accessible via a walk in fridge, hung with various cuts of meat. Perhaps not for the squeamish (or vegetarians), it is certainly and aesthetically striking contrast, and provides something of an unusual talking point. The natural-light bathed upper level is encased by a stunning glass roof, covering the entire floor, with ivy dripping from rustic wooden beams. The overall feel is authentically Italian; with every element, from the ingredients to the tableware to the waiting staff, all hailing from Italy.

Message from the 2018 Chair
Message from the 2018 Chair
Despite the weather forecast, we had a full house for our third annual Fayette Visioning Summit. Themed 'Envisioning Your Story', the Summit was staged with a library, fireplace and comfy chairs for the perfect fireside chat.
The morning, I mean story, which unfolded chapter by chapter, shared updates and highlights from the four areas of Place, Economy, Education and Community. The story finale, while incredibly impactful, was filled with expertise, wisdom and a new character in the story called 'love'.
Speaking of love, as you continue to read through this newsletter, I'd like you to take note of our story's many successes. There's everything from the passing of the SPLOST, to having three of our cities remain on the top 50 list of Safest Places to Live in Georgia, and many other successes in between. This is absolutely wonderful. Fayette County has so much to be proud of.
And speaking of proud, I want to publicly thank Randy Weaver as he ends his chapter as Fayette Visioning Chair. His vision, dedication and impactful efforts have made for some pretty big shoes to fill. I'm honored to pick up the baton and serve alongside an outstanding group of community leaders.
Our keynote speaker for the Summit was Rob Parker, president of Pinewood Forrest. Rob captivated our guests as he delivered a message that suggests that we, Fayette County, are 'cooler than we think', and that our differences are to be celebrated. He shared that 'love is local' and challenged us to connect with those who are different from ourselves; that perhaps sharing a meal or a cup of coffee would be the perfect opportunity to connect in loving and significant ways. You may wonder how Rob's message was received. Well, he received a standing ovation. For those of you who don't know . . . love conquers all.
As we look to 2018 and beyond, I'm pleased to announce that Dawn Oparah will be the new chair for Community with the Fayette Visioning plan. Dawn has been vice-chair for Community for several years and is stepping into the lead role. I want to thank Mike Stachura for his service to Fayette Visioning. He has done an outstanding job. Also, check out the updated Fayette Visioning website. The new look and feel does a great job of sharing our story. After the first of the year, we will be including video from the Fayette Visioning Summit on the website. Editing is underway now.
I hope you will stay engaged with us, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter. I also hope you'll share this newsletter and encourage others to sign up for it as well. Lastly, I hope you will get involved with one or more of our implementation partners.
We need you.
My best,
Pam Reid

SAN DIEGO, Calif., January 12, 2019 – Premier Boxing Champions gets its 2019 boxing year underway with a rare Sunday afternoon event at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles with a super middleweight title on the line in the main event.
IBF world champion Jose Uzcategui of Venezuela (28-2, 23 KOs) and undefeated challenger Caleb Plant of Nashville (17-0, 10 KOs) will put a clash of styles on display for fans, with both men hoping to impose his game plan on the other man.
The fight has been overdue since September. Plant earned his opportunity after a strong decision victory over Rogelio "Porky" Medina in their title elimination fight last February. The bout was scheduled for September, but Plant broke his left hand in training. He has been out of the ring 11 months. Meanwhile, Uzcategui won an easy 10 round decision over Ezequiel Maderna.
Uzcategui defends world title for first time
Uzcategui, 28, needs to prove he's worthy of the world champion designation. His rematch win over Andre Dirrell last March gave him the regular title. He was elevated to the world title when James DeGale of Great Britain refused to defend it. Plant has made a point of this, and Uzcategui doesn't much like it.
"About the only thing I can say about my fight is that I don't respect Caleb Plant," Uzcategui said. "He has talked too much, and I will punish him, beat him up and then knock him out."
Plant would be foolish to underestimate the tough Venezuelan, who's favored in this fight, and he doesn't. "He's a rough, rugged guy who comes forward and I know he's coming to win," said Plant. "Everyone says Jose Uzcategui is the bogeyman, but after (Sunday), I don't want no excuses."
Plant: Layoff leaves him better prepared
Plant, 26, now living and training in Las Vegas, says he's even better prepared now than he would have been last September, taking time to study Uzcategui and put a smart game plan together. He'll need it. Plant uses movement and boxing skills to frustrate his opponents. Uzcategui is an aggressive power puncher who plays the hurt game.
"I really think that with our styles, this is going to be fireworks. I believe that on [Sunday] you will hear [the ring announcer say] 'and the new!'" added Plant. Plant says he has a photo of the IBF belt on the ceiling above his bed so he can see it when it wakes up, and before he goes to sleep. It will be his first title fight.
Uzcategui, 28, lives in Tijuana and trains across the border in San Diego with Jose Cital, a formerly homeless teen who worked multiple jobs to start his own gym. Uzcategui has a natural affinity for the Mexican Style school of boxing, having engaged in street fights for money as a kid. An accomplished amateur fighter, he missed the chance for fight for Venezuela in the Olympic Games when his daughter died during qualifying. Instead, he turned pro in 2011.
Learning from losses yields valuable experience
In his 2014 American ring debut, Uzcategui suffered a defeat to Matt Korobov by decision, despite knocking Korobov down twice in the middle rounds. Uzcategui looks back at the experience as a valuable lesson. It was Cital's idea to move the Venezuelan up from middleweight to super middleweight. He won his next four fights.Then came the first fight against Andre Dirrell. Uzcategui was dominating the fight in the early rounds, but knocked Dirrell down with a punch after the bell in the eighth round. Uzcategui lost by disqualification. Emotions boiled over, and Dirrell's co-trainer and uncle Leon Lawson punched a surprised Uzcategui. Six months later, Uzcategui won the rematch with ease, ending in a ninth round TKO. He laughs now about the situation with the Dirells, saying the brawl "made me famous."
Uzcategui says Plant is a good fighter, but believes he will overpower Plant, both physically and mentally thanks to the trials he has endured.
"I don't respect Caleb Plant," said Uzcategui. "It's not a personal disrespect but in the fight game, you've got to earn respect. You can't just talk, you've got to get in the ring and prove it. How can anyone show you respect when you keep saying you're better, but you haven't proved it? Do your talking in the ring and then after, not before.
"I'm going to punish him, beat him up and then knock him out. It may not be easy…nothing is easy," declared Uzcategui. No disagreement there.
Prediction: Uzcategui by last round stoppage
Uzcategui is the taller, stronger man. He's right about his experience, which is far superior to that of Plant. Plant will be testing his repaired left hand, and if it's not quite ready it will leave him short of a tool he needs. Uzcategui will put on the pressure from the opening bell. If Plant can't find his way around Uzcategui, the Venezuelan will be willing to brawl, taking a shot or two to deliver the kind of damage that builds round after round. If so, t will be only a matter of time before a game but outworked Plant suffers his first loss when the accumulated punishment is too much.
Figueroa steps up against Flores in co-main event
In the co-main event, junior featherweight prospect Brandon Figueroa of Welasco, Texas (17-0, 12 KOs) faces Moises "Chucky" Flores of Mexico. The winner will become the mandatory challenger for world champion Daniel Roman. Flores fought Roman last June and lost by decision. He was ineligible to win Roman's title anyway as he failed to make weight.
There is a ten-year age gap between Figueroa, 22, and Flores, 32. It's a step up at the right time for Figueroa. "I want to show everyone I'm the real deal, and I'm ready for that world title … This is the kind of fight I need to prove that I'm ready."
Flores is eager for another shot at Roman, and a win would give it to him. "I've been in the gym since that loss," Flores said. "So now I'm confident I will be at my best. Figueroa and I both throw a ton of punches. It's gonna be an all-out war."
Guillermo Rigondeaux returns on undercard
Also on the card and under the radar is the return of two time Olympic gold medalist and former junior featherweight champion Guillermo Rigondeaux of Cuba. Rigondeaux is the newest member of the Premier Boxing Champions stable. Once considered among the pound for pound best, the crafty Cuban met his match in a demoralizing defeat at the hands of another two-time Olympic gold medalist, Vasiliy Lomachenko. To the shock of everyone watching in December 2017, Rigondeaux quit after six rounds. All right, technically he begged off due to an injury. Rigondeaux (17-1, 11 KOs), who claims to be 38 years old, gets a tune up against Giovanni Delgado (16-8, 9 KOS) of Mexico. The 27 year old Delgado has lost six of his last seven fights. If Rigondeaux can't look good here, he needs to seriously rethink a return to the ring.
Also on the action packed card, light heavyweight Ahmed Elbiali of Miami (17-1, 13 KOs) hopes to start his year with a win after his surprise defeat last year by Jean Pascal against Allan Green of Tulsa (33-5), who's only had one fight in five years; and Ryan "Cowboy" Karl of Houston (15-2, 9 KOs) tangles with Kevin Watts of Los Angeles (12-3, 5 KOs) in an eight round junior welterweight fight.
Fox Sports 1 will air undercard fights starting at 6:30 pm ET/3:30 p.m., with the main event portion of the card starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.

Four rescued from avalanche in Crans Montana
Started by Iainm in Ski News 20-Feb-2019 - 4 Replies
Iainm posted Feb-2019
Over 240 people including resort workers, police, military and volunteers were involved in the rescue operation, as well as eight helicopters and a dozen search dogs. The resort is hosting a World Cup race this weekend, which meant that there were many extra staff available to assist.
The avalanche had started high on the mountain and is believed to have been caused spontaneously by warming snow, rather than triggered by skiers. The avalanche risk had been reduced from 'Level 3' to 'Level 2' earlier in the day.
The scale of the avalanche was so great that the snow fell for 840m and was 100m wide. It didn't stop until it hit the Kandahar ski slope below, burying an unknown number of skiers.
Late last night, four people had been rescued, one with serious injuries and three with minor injuries. It was believed there may have been more victims, but the search was called off on Wednesday morning
The public prosecutor has opened an investigation to determine the possible causes of the avalanche.
UPDATE - Wed 20 Feb, 1254 GMT
Tragically it has now been confirmed that the seriously injured victim has since died. More details on the fatality - a local ski patroller - have now been released by Crans Montana

Seems to me that those responsible for the piste safety just didn't consider the April conditions. Bet a lot of resorts were re-evaluating slopes after it happened .

Ranchero_1979 wrote:Well in reality you wonder how many times on February there has been a spontaneous full depth avalanche - probably zero.
Unusual, for sure, but from the pictures above those are awful steep slopes looming above the piste - broken only by cliffs. If that wasn't a marked run and you were off-piste, you'd be looking at that and thinking "threat from above", "terrain trap" ... "not today", wouldn't you?
Tragic all round, especially so as it took a pisteur who was assisting someone.
reply to 'Four rescued from avalanche in Crans Montana' posted Feb-2019
Perhaps the piste was just in a sub optimal position but if you take the worst case scenario then a lot of piste would need to be closed.

Successful architectural lighting design requires professionals that have artistic vision along with solid technical aptitude. These experts need to couple their creativity with knowledge of building codes, physics, optics, sustainability practices, internet of things (IoT), LED and control technologies and human-centric lighting, and more. Today's lighting designers take a holistic approach to illuminating a property with attention to the aesthetic, functional, and energy efficiency aspects of lighting.
Your lights create and support an experience for the occupants and visitors in your building(s).
Good lighting supports specific tasks, while bad lighting can make those tasks more difficult to complete accurately or consistently. Good lighting can showcase products or render people and the space itself in the best light with richer, truer colors while poor lighting can make colors less authentic. The lighting technology used determines how good or bad the lighting and occupant experience is.
The moment you enter a restaurant you notice how it is lit. Bright lighting sets a more casual atmosphere and dimmed lighting sets a much more intimate mood. Restaurants and hotels offer great examples of the aesthetic qualities of dimming. Dimming also is an important aesthetic feature in commercial offices, hospitals and educational facilities.
We are pleased to announce that several customer favorites, OPTOTRONIC® LED Drivers and the ENCELIUM EDGE™ Light Management System, have each won multiple product awards for innovation and excellence from respected industry organizations! These awards are in addition to the seven awards mentioned in a previous 2018 blog post.
We've all heard about the key attributes of LED luminaires over traditional incandescent, fluorescent and halogen fixtures: greater energy efficiency, resistance to breakage, less heat emitted, and a longer lifespan. These benefits are easy to see or measure and are responsible for the widespread adoption of this technology across the commercial real estate industry. In addition, because SSL fixtures are digital in nature, important data about the location and health of a specific fixture or fixtures across a facility can be captured and leveraged by facilities teams.
Building and fire codes including the National Fire Protection Agency, International Fire Code, National Electrical Fire Code, and OSHA require emergency lighting in every commercial building. Emergency lighting ensures that egress paths are lit when there is a power outage so that occupants can safely exit a building in the event of an emergency. The emergency lighting must go on automatically and immediately.
This year, we will knock your socks off once again with our newest technology!
Come and see us at LightFair International (LFI), the world's largest annual architectural and commercial lighting trade show and conference at Booth #1002 in Chicago May 6-10, 2018 at McCormick Place.
It is awards season and OSRAM Digital Lighting Systems is taking a walk down the red carpet. OSRAM is known for developing quality as well as innovative products. But don't take our word for it. Check out our newest award-winning products.
The heart is the primary organ that determines how well the rest of the human body functions. So we pay a lot of attention to it and make sure we do what we can to keep it in top shape. We eat 'heart healthy' foods, keep up with exercise routines, reduce stress where we can….the list goes on and on. If we had a choice, we would pick the best heart possible to start with, and make sure it was a top performer for the life of our…well….life.
