Outdoor Updates: 73-year-old California hiker rescued after missing for 7 days in the forest
The property is described as a missing puzzle piece that has opened new opportunities for hikers, explorers and wildlife-viewers to enjoy. The protected land is also an important habitat for migratory birds and wildlife. The land will also support local water quality and watersheds of the Susquehanna River and Chesapeake Bay. 73-year-old California hiker rescued after missing for 7 days in the forest Pennsylvania’s Ricketts Glen State Park adds 143 acres of forestland Jo’s family released a statement informing the public that he had been released from the hospital and was “pretty much his old self.” The statement goes on to explain that the family is “still barely comprehending the extent of this miracle and appreciate privacy at this time.” 
One of the most popular state parks in Pennsylvania is getting larger. Ricketts Glen State Park in northeast Pennsylvania will grow by 143 acres thanks to the efforts of The Conservation Fund, who acquired the land, and the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, who will add it to the total acreage of the park. A 73-year-old man who became separated from his hiking group has survived after being lost in the forest for seven days without food. Eugene Jo disappeared in the Angeles National Forest and survived by snuggling up against hot rocks to stave off the cold of night and drinking water from the riverbed. Eleven search teams scoured the area for Jo before he was rescued on Saturday. Jo says he heard the voices of those searching for him and mustered all of his remaining energy to yell for help.

You know they don’t respect you.Maybe they parked in your parking spot. You know, the parking spot that’s not marked just for you, but that everyone should know not to park in because it’s just for you. Maybe they lumped you in with other, lesser humans on the “To” line in an email when you deserved your own special “To” line on that email, given your preeminence among them.I’m just kidding. I know you’re not that idiotic. It would take a pretty ridiculous human to get worked up about stuff like that. But there are times when you just kind of get the feeling that someone might not like or respect you for one reason or another.And look, that’s going to happen, right? None of us is naive enough to think that everyone is going to love everyone all the time. But as leaders, what do we do when we get that feeling? How should we respond when we get the sense something is off between us and someone on our team?Here are some thoughts. continue reading » 21SHARESShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblr
This year alone, L’Etape by Tour de France is set for 20 editions in 13 countries including Indonesia and Thailand.“We will also cooperate with the hotel association in West Nusa Tenggara to provide a tour and hotel package,” Zacky said.West Nusa Tenggara Tourism Agency head Lalu Muhammad Faozal said the April event would be beneficial for tourism in the region as April usually marked a low season.“Cycling is a massive sport. Let’s say that each participant brings more than two crew members. With [the current] 1,300 participants staying for over three days, can you imagine how much would they spend during their stay for the event?” he said. Topics : According to Rocca data, as of Wednesday 1,300 people from 17 countries, including Australia, Canada, France, Portugal and Pakistan, have signed up for the race since registration opened in October. The organizer will close registration once the number reaches 1,500 participants.The race will be divided into two categories, 80 kilometers and 135 km. First held in 1993, L’Étape du Tour is an organized mass participation cycling event that allows amateur cyclists to race over the same route as a Tour de France stage.It has been held in countries such as Mexico, Columbia, the United States and China.
L’Etape Indonesia, a cycling event for amateurs under Amaury Sports Organization, which organizes the Tour de France, will bring a taste of Grand Tour cycling to Mandalika, Lombok, on April 5.The event, organized jointly with local sporting event company Rocca, aims to promote Mandalika’s tourism potential while giving participants the Tour de France experience.“For us, Lombok is a sleeping giant of tourism that has yet to boom. It’s a cycling paradise for the amateurs. Our route covers everything [as participants] can see mountains, hills, rice paddies and beaches,” Zacky Badrudin, event director of L’Etape Indonesia by Tour de France, said in a press conference in Jakarta on Wednesday.

Charles Counsell, TPR’s chief executive, said the pensions bill would give it “the power to set and enforce clearer scheme funding standards in defined benefit (DB) pension schemes while also providing early warning of potential problems”.TPR is expected to publish a consultation on a new code of practice for DB scheme funding after the pension scheme bill itself is published.On CDC, Aon’s Arends said the new legislation is expected to usher in single-employer schemes, but that the government should “press on with phase-two, enabling multi-employer and commercial CDC plans”.In early 2018 Royal Mail and the Communications Workers’ Union selected CDC as the best option for settling a long-running dispute over pay and conditions, but the model they came up with is not permitted under current rules.According to Jamie Jenkins, head of global savings policy at Standard Life, the most “progressive element” of the bill will be the legislation to pave the way for pensions dashboards. These are intended to give people access to all their pension information in a single place online.The promised pensions bill is to include new powers to compel pension schemes to provide accurate information to savers.‘Missing areas’Industry commentators noted that the Queen’s Speech did not mention other key pension areas, namely auto-enrolment and regulation for commercial DB consolidation vehicles.Steve Webb, director of policy at Royal London and a former pensions minister, said measures to expand auto-enrolment and regulate DB ’superfunds’ were left out because of splits in government, with the Treasury blocking the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP).“It is one of the biggest failings of UK pension policy that the department with lead responsibility for pensions can be thwarted in bringing forward sensible reforms by an over-mighty Treasury which has no vision for pensions,” he said.DB superfund legislation could still come, however.Ian Neale, director at Aries Insight, said: “From past experience it is entirely possible that something could be added via new clauses tabled by the government during the bill’s passage through parliament.”A DWP spokesperson told IPE: “The historical success of auto-enrolment has been built on […] consensus across parliament and private industry and we are still committed to implementing the findings of the auto-enrolment review but we are continuing to work on how best to do that”.On the commercial DB consolidators, he said this was “a very complicated area of regulatory policy”.“We are committed to transforming the pension industry and trying to get the best possible result for savers, and we are still working with various stakeholders, regulatory bodies and arms of government to make sure we push through that regulation,” he added.The Treasury did not respond to a request for comment by the time of publication.Standard Life’s Jenkins said that although the pensions bill will struggle to get the necessary time for debate given Brexit and the prospect of a general election, this is one of the government’s less contentious bills “with, I suspect, broad cross-party support”. The UK government is due to present long-awaited pensions legislation covering measures to advance the pension dashboard, strengthen the regulator, and enable collective defined contribution (CDC) pension provision, according to the Queen’s Speech today.The contents of the bill have been well-trailed, with some elements having been subject to consultation earlier this year or in 2018, and the industry has welcomed announcement of the bill in the Queen’s Speech.Matthew Arends, head of UK retirement policy at Aon, said: “Given the distractions elsewhere, it’s good news that the government is pressing ahead with key elements of pension innovation in a pensions schemes bill.”For Claire Carey, partner at Sackers, the “centrepiece” will be the bolstering of TPR’s powers. The pensions bill is to introduce new criminal offences, including a civil penalty of up to £1m (€1.15m).
