    Lessons from Kentucky’s Antivenom Case When the call comes in, seconds matter. EMS Providers are trained to act decisively, but also within the limits of their medical scope. What happens when those two imperatives collide—when a patient’s survival depends on a treatment that regulations forbid? That question faced a Kentucky EMS crew this spring, and…

    The Challenge Today’s EMS Leaders face more than operational demands – they must also navigate a world shaped by public outrage, political division, and social media amplification. Every statement, policy, or silence can be scrutinized, criticized, or misinterpreted. Balancing staff expectations, public trust, and professional neutrality is harder than ever. Why It MattersOutrage culture can…

    Denne fjellformasjonen er kul! Dette er sett fra Kavåsen-siden av fjellrekka, men flest har nok lagt merke til den fra Steinlandsfjorden. Det er flere som har lagt merke til disse, men jeg hadde ikke kommet i kontakt med noen som visste en god vei opp hit, hadde vært her, eller hva den het. På Norgeskart…

    Go runda på Skälderviken i fina kvällsljuset. Riktigt gött. Konstigt att vi inte paddlar oftare! Nåja. Ambitionen att paddla minst en gång per månad kvarstår men det hade ju inte behövt vara en månads mellan gångerna ? Inlägget Tisdagspaddling 30 september dök först upp på .

Its wider planing shape helps catch softer waves but it still shows a turn of speed with its fins, on the wave face.  The red plastic kayak is a whitewater/hybrid Wavesport Z…

    Hi Bjorn, Hope all is good. Well I finally completed my Panthera that I started 5 years ago! (albeit always some tweaks to make). (BTW Your reference will be added to the boat name, some problem with die cutting the font at the printers). I did recess the coaming and also made a cutout lifting…

     In early September 2025, we booked a self-guided walking holiday with MacsAdventure in which our luggage was transported for us between hotels.   We wanted a true mountain journey, rather than daily hikes from one or two locations, and the Via Alpina West looked like a genuine challenge.  Twenty-five years ago, we hiked the Pacific…

    Området oppå Ånstadblåheia og Lafjellet ble for noen år siden bygget ut til en kraftpark med vindturbiner. Det innebærer jo blant annet en haug med kraftige grusveier i området, sånn at det er kjørbart. Det gjør en hel del av marka uinteressant med tanke på vanlig friluftsliv, men elsykkel er det sånn støy av (hvert…

    Earlier this year, I had purchased a sleeping bag even though I wasn’t planning on getting a new bag. That purchase didn’t work out, and after a multi-month hassle I got a refunded. With the refund and a bit of extra cash, I picked up a Western Mountaineering FlyLite sleeping bag as a replacement. My…

    EMS Discussion – Urban Hospital Wait Time vs. Wall Time

    Emergency Department (ED) delays are nothing new, but for EMS Providers, “wall time” is a unique challenge. Unlike a walk-in patient who simply waits for triage, EMS crews remain fully responsible for their patient until the hospital formally accepts care. This Ambulance Patient Offload Time (APOT) often ties up both crews and ambulances, straining already…

    Förra helgen gick SM i roll i Västervik – ett fantastiskt välordnat arrangemang i härligt sensommarväder. Platsen var hamnbassängen vid Fiskartorget i centrala Västervik, vilket tillsammans med det fina vädret innebar en större publik än vid tidigare SM i Stockholm och Göteborg. Jag var för tredje gången domare i elitklassen och hade förmånen att från…

    Nyfiken på ekollon? Det är jag med! Tänk att det ovanför huvudet växer massvis av mat! Och det är inte många som tar hand om det för att använda till mat. Man kan göra allt möjligt med dom, men de behöver lakas ur då de innehåller tanniner, dessa gör ekollonen beska och i princip oätbara.…

    I have long been curious about water. It is such an enigmatic fluid. It falls from the sky, flows in rivers to the seas and oceans where it circulates, its surface blown into waves by the wind. Water evaporates and condenses as clouds.  Normal 0 false false false false EN-US X-NONE AR-SA /* Style Definitions…
