Howstuffworks "10 Ways to Survive a Snowstorm" There's no truer statement than the old adage "you can't control the weather." You can't even predict it with complete certainty. As advanced as our meteorological forecasting techniques are these days, weather systems are changeable forces of nature. The National Snow and Ice Data Center defines a blizzard as a "violent winter storm, lasting at least 3 hours, which combines below freezing temperatures and very strong wind laden with blowing snow that reduces visibility to less than 1 km." If a blizzard is bad enough, snow plows and salt trucks won't even brave the elements.
The Survival Monkey Dealing With Diarrhoeal Diseases, by Nomad Medic Sunday, Sep 26, 2010 The recent news of confirmed cases of cholera after the massive flooding in Pakistan highlights a potential threat that anyone could be faced with after a disaster. While cholera has been cited specifically, there are several other diarrhoeal diseases that have similar symptoms and can also kill. These illnesses are responsible for a huge number of deaths every year. The WHO defines diarrhoea as “the passage of 3 or more loose or liquid stools per day, or more frequently than is normal for the individual.” Many of these pathogens are ever-present in the world we live in. This exposure typically happens via ingestion. The first and most key step to fighting these diseases is prevention. Foremost of these preventative steps is that water must be properly treated. The CDC has for years pushed the statement "Boil it, cook it, peel it, or forget it" in regards to eating while abroad. Proper sanitation is key to preventing the spread of these diseases.

Cyclocross pro Tim Johnson. A few winters ago 35-year-old Massachusetts cyclist Tim Johnson, one of the country’s top cyclocross pros, was holed up in the Santa Monica Mountains near Malibu, training on the area’s labyrinthine network of canyon roads. He was staying at the house of Ben Bostrom, 38, a champion motorcycle racer and accomplished road cyclist. “It was pissing rain and cold,” he says. For the uninitiated, KOM is short for “king of the mountain.” And so, back in Bostrom’s kitchen, Johnson was suggesting that Latigo Canyon—Bostrom’s canyon—was no longer his. Johnson reloaded the site one last time. It’s not just competitive pros who are taken with Strava, of course: an army of more than a million users are turning their local tarmac into a daily time trial—sometimes bespoiling singletrack etiquette and terrifying casual riders and walkers on multiuse paths—and telling the world about it. This, in essence, is why Strava exists. Fast-forward a decade.
SurvivalBlog.com Identifying Animal Tracks Identifying animal tracks & sign, as well as interpreting and trailing, are primary skills of the wildlife tracker. Historically, animal tracking skills helped people find food, avoid dangerous predators, and read the stories on the landscape. Wildlife tracking skills continue to be valuable today and are being employed in wildlife research, conservation, and outdoor education. Identifying animal tracks and sign can open up an unseen world, a window into the lives of shy and elusive animals. Tracks, scat, feeding sign, beds, scent marking, trails and other types of animal sign point to which animals passed by, what they did, where they went, and much more. This section of the online library contains an expanding offering of animal tracking articles, as well as many pictures of animal tracks & sign.

Pope Benedict in shock resignation: Pontiff, 85, is first in 600 years to stand down because he 'no longer has the strength to carry on' In November 2011, Andrea Tornielli – a well-placed reporter from the Vatican Insider, a project run by La Stampa newspaper in Italy – said Pope Benedict found it agonising to walk even short distances due to 'arthrosis', thought to be an Italian term for osteoarthritis, in his knees, hips and ankles. The condition forced him to pull out of a trip to Brazil in July. Mr Tornielli said this was why the Pope began using a moving platform to address crowds during mass in St Peter’s Basilica. There have also been reports that the Pope was struggling to read texts. Dr Alan Silman, the medical director of Arthritis Research UK, said Pope Benedict most likely has osteoarthritis, which causes people to lose the cartilage at the end of their joints, making it difficult to move around without pain. He said: 'It would be painful for him to kneel while he's praying and could be excruciating when he tries to get up again.' VIDEO Spokesman: Pope no longer able to 'cope' with challenges Dear Brothers,
