Smoking and COVID-19
What impact did the COVID-19 pandemic have on smoking?
Soon after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, several published studies reported on possible links between cigarette smoking and the virus infection.1 A consensus seems to be forming that there would be a lower number of COVID-19 infections among current smokers,2 but more research is needed to understand the underlying mechanism. In this context, independent researchers are exploring the use of nicotine for therapeutic purposes.3 The evidence supports that smokers who do contract the virus could have an increased risk of severe disease and complications.4 There is currently no reliable scientific evidence on any association between COVID-19 and the use of non-combustible tobacco products.5

Our heat-not-burn product, IQOS
What is it, and how does it work?
Our main smoke-free product, IQOS, is a battery-powered, heat-not-burn product that heats tobacco to produce a nicotine-containing aerosol that the user inhales. There is no combustion of the tobacco. Our base model comprises three main components: A tobacco unit, a holder, and a charger. The tobacco unit is a novel product designed specifically and exclusively for use with the holder (the heating device). It contains two filter sections and specially processed tobacco designed to be heated but not burned. Tobacco leaves are ground and reconstituted into tobacco sheets, called "cast-leaf." These sheets are then crimped and made into a tobacco plug. The user inserts the tobacco unit into the holder. Once activated, the holder heats the tobacco via an electronically controlled heating blade. Each tobacco unit provides a maximum of 14 puffs or around six minutes of consumption, whichever comes first. The holder contains a small battery, which can be recharged by inserting it into the charger; the charger, in turn, can be recharged using a household power socket. We continue to enhance our IQOS product portfolio, driven by consumer insights and supported by scientific substantiation, and currently sell a variety of models in each market.

Product health impacts - topic overview
The different parts of an IQOS device
What scientific evidence have we gathered to date?
IQOS is the most thoroughly assessed of our smoke-free platforms. We have accumulated extensive clinical and non-clinical data to support its potential to reduce the risk of developing smoking-related diseases compared with continued cigarette smoking.
In our assessment program, we compared the chemical composition of the aerosol produced by IQOS with the smoke from a reference cigarette, using standardized and validated analytical methods to quantify the most extensive established list of harmful and potentially harmful constituents (HPHCs)—the "FDA-93"—which includes carcinogens, respiratory, and cardiovascular toxicants. We found that these HPHCs are reduced on average by 90 to 95 percent compared with the reference cigarette's smoke. In addition, we conducted extensive chemical characterization of the IQOS aerosol. Our untargeted screening was used to identify all constituents above 100 ng/stick and resulted in the characterization of 99.8 percent of the aerosol mass. These analyses have shown that there are approximately 10 times fewer constituents in IQOS aerosol than reference cigarette smoke. As the U.S. FDA put it when it authorized a version of IQOS for sale in the US, "these chemicals are present in very low levels and potential effects are outweighed by the substantial decrease in the number and levels of HPHCs found in combusted cigarettes."1 We also conducted indoor air chemistry and quality studies, which demonstrated that the use of IQOS does not negatively impact indoor air quality.
We conducted toxicological studies for IQOS, both in vitro and in vivo, to determine whether the reduced formation of HPHCs in the aerosol leads to reduced toxicity. Results from the in vitro studies show that the IQOS aerosol is significantly less cytotoxic and genotoxic than the smoke from cigarettes. The in vivo studies found that, compared with cigarette smoke, the reduced exposure to toxicants results in significantly reduced lung inflammation and respiratory toxicity.
1The FDA does not endorse or approve tobacco products.
In the case of our heated tobacco products, we have conducted numerous non-clinical and clinical studies. The risk reduction potential of those products is backed up by volumes of high quality research data.
Prof. Manuel C. Peitsch, Chief Scientific Officer, Philip Morris International
In the following stage, we conducted several systems toxicology studies to assess the disease-relevant biological mechanisms affected by exposure to toxicants, using human-derived in vitro cell cultures and organotypic tissue cultures. These studies showed that, compared with the reference cigarette smoke, the IQOS aerosol has a significantly reduced impact on key mechanisms involved in the development of respiratory and cardiovascular diseases. In a systems toxicology study conducted in an animal disease model (Apoe-/–), we observed that switching to the IQOS aerosol following two months of cigarette smoke exposure reduces the development of both atherosclerosis and emphysema in a manner similar to smoking cessation. We also completed an in vivo study to assess the potential of the IQOS aerosol to reduce the risk of lung inflammation, emphysema, and lung cancer compared with cigarette smoke. The results of this study show that, in contrast to cigarette smoke, the aerosol of IQOS does not increase the incidence and number of lung tumors. The study also confirmed the significantly reduced effect of IQOS aerosol on lung inflammation and emphysema observed in the study mentioned above.1

Our 14 clinical studies on IQOS have involved thousands of participants and up to 12 months of exposure
Our 14 clinical studies on IQOS have involved thousands of participants and up to 12 months of exposure. For example, we conducted four clinical studies—each involving 160 participants and an exposure period lasting five days to three months—to assess subjects' relative exposure to toxicants when using IQOS compared with continuing to smoke cigarettes. The first two studies—incorporating a five-day exposure, in confinement—were conducted in Europe and Japan. The subsequent two studies extended over three months—a five-day confined exposure period followed by an ambulatory period of 85 days—and were conducted using a menthol version of heated tobacco units in Japan and the U.S. The ambulatory study period was intended to assess whether reductions in exposure observed in a confined setting were sustained under "real world" conditions, where factors such as environment, diet, or passive smoking could influence exposure to HPHCs. All four studies showed a significant reduction (ranging from 47 to 96 percent relative to continued cigarette smoking) in the 15 biomarkers of exposure in adult smokers who switched to IQOS. Complete switching to IQOS achieved a 95 percent reduction in exposure from smoking abstinence.
We also conducted an exposure-response study to measure clinical risk markers when adult smokers switch to IQOS for six months. The results of this study show that six months after switching to IQOS all eight co-primary biomarkers of potential harm displayed favorable changes (i.e., changes in the same direction as cessation) and that for five of the eight markers the favorable changes were statistically significant compared with continued smoking. We completed a six-month extension of the six-month exposure response study to understand what the same markers look like 12 months after switching. The study showed that in smokers who switched to IQOS the favorable changes observed at six months were maintained.
To complement our research, in 2020 we also initiated ecological studies. These studies are used to measure prevalence and incidence of disease, by observing data at the population or group level, rather than individual level.
The launched program of ecological studies explores risk-modifying factors on health outcomes at the population level. Independent evidence already links the launch of IQOS to an accelerated decline in cigarette smoking in Japan, the first country in which IQOS was launched nationwide (2015).1 We are now studying time series of Japanese hospital data and health insurance claims for two smoking-related diseases (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and ischemic heart disease) to detect a possible health impact of the introduction of IQOS at the population level. The first results show a decline in observed hospitalization rates for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations coinciding with the national rollout of IQOS in Japan. More research is needed to confirm this first ecological observation. We aim to publish results of our research in peer-reviewed journals as soon as possible.

What are the external findings to date?
Our scientific results are supported by a growing body of independent research. Several government agencies have already reviewed the available evidence or conducted research of their own. In addition to studies on aerosol chemistry and toxicology, the first independent clinical and post-market studies have started to emerge. In general, these studies confirm PMI's results, although some have contradictory interpretations of the data (e.g., using fresh air as the comparator instead of cigarette smoke), methodological differences (e.g., enrolled populations, studies that do not follow OECD guidelines), or overstated conclusions.
The list of independent studies (over 160 in total) published around PMI's smoke-free products and/or our methods and results, as of April 29, 2021, is available on PMIscience. In 2019, a version of our heat-not-burn product IQOS became the first innovative electronic alternative to cigarettes to be authorized by the FDA for sale in the U.S. (read the decision summary here). On July 7, 2020, the FDA went one step further, allowing IQOS to be marketed as a modified risk tobacco product with the following "reduced exposure" information:
The IQOS system heats tobacco but does not burn it.
This significantly reduces the production of harmful and potentially harmful chemicals.
Scientific studies have shown that switching completely from conventional cigarettes to the IQOS system significantly reduces your body's exposure to harmful or potentially harmful chemicals.
This decision followed a multi-year review of the scientific evidence PMI submitted to the FDA in December 2016. The agency found that the use of reduced-exposure claims would be "appropriate to promote the public health and is expected to benefit the health of the population as a whole." The FDA also concluded that the totality of the evidence presented suggests that a measurable and substantial reduction in morbidity or mortality among individual tobacco users is reasonably likely to be established in subsequent studies. The order letter, as well as the decision summary, are available on the FDA's website.
On December 7, 2020, the FDA authorized for sale in the U.S. the IQOS 3 device, which contains a number of technological advances compared with a previously authorized version of the IQOS device, including longer battery life and a quicker recharge between uses. In its decision, the FDA noted that international survey data reviewed by the agency found no evidence of increased uptake of IQOS by youth or young adults, while use patterns available for a previously authorized version of IQOS within the U.S. have not raised new concerns regarding product use in youth and young adults.
Our second smoke-free product, IQOS VEEV, is an e-vapor product (or e-cigarette). The battery-powered device uses a liquid solution containing nicotine and flavoring to produce an inhalable vapor. The product is composed of a device and disposable cartridge. The device houses the battery and the puff sensor, while the cartridge holds the heating element and the e-liquid.
IQOS VEEV represents a new heating technology within the e-vapor product category. Until recently, most e-vapor products used a coil-and-wick system to heat a nicotine-containing solution. The wick draws the liquid onto a coil heating element to create an aerosol. In these systems, the temperature of the heater can vary significantly depending, for example, on the amount of liquid in the system, or how strongly the user puffs on the e-cigarette. Several studies have shown that puffing on an e-cigarette when the liquid level is low results in "dry puffs," which can significantly increase exposure to certain toxicants—especially formaldehyde.
In IQOS VEEV, the wick is eliminated, and the coil is replaced by a metal mesh. When the liquid is introduced to the heater, the increased surface area provided by the mesh design helps heat the liquid in a more consistent way compared with current-generation coil-and-wick systems. The software ensures that the heater's temperature is stable and does not vary based on puff strength or from puff to puff. The low-liquid detection system cuts off power to the mesh heater once the liquid has dropped below a certain level, eliminating dry puffs.
Unlike typical e-vapor product cartridges, IQOS VEEV cartridges are manufactured, assembled, pre-filled, and pre-sealed in a fully automated process to ensure product consistency. This occurs within our European production facilities. We launched the product in 2020 in New Zealand and the Czech Republic and are compiling consumer insights before proceeding with an international rollout planned in 2021. Moreover, IQOS VEEV is the first of our smoke-free products to be trialed in New Zealand with technology to prevent underage use, whereby the device can only be unlocked by registered, age-verified users.
of our R&D expenditure dedicated to smoke-free products
R&D positions, including scientists, engineers, technicians, and support staff (FTEs)
Patents granted to date in IP5 jurisdictions relating to smoke-free products
We continue to invest in research to develop and scientifically substantiate a portfolio of ever-better, affordable, and acceptable smoke-free products for existing adult smokers—in both OECD and non-OECD countries. As of year-end 2020, our R&D work, and its associated innovations, has resulted in 1,300 patents granted for smoke-free technologies by the five largest intellectual property offices in the world (IP5).
To further strengthen the already robust IQOS evidence package, we are starting to complement laboratory and clinical studies with real-world evidence regarding the public health impact of the introduction of IQOS at the population level.
Finally, we will start leveraging our technical and scientific capabilities beyond the field of nicotine and reduced risk products by using our knowledge and expertise in the delivery of aerosols to humans in both wellness and medical applications such as respiratory drug delivery.

Invasive mussels getting through US inspections
Montana's defence against a zebra and quagga mussel invasion has broken down. Mussel larvae were detected in man-made water reservoirs
Barry Gerding
Zebra mussels
Montana is currently grappling with a feared potential environmental catastrophe for the Okanagan Valley — an invasion of zebra and quagga mussels.
The state, along with B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Washington and Idaho, created the Pacific Northwest Perimeter Defence to prevent the mussels from infesting local waterways.
But that defence perimeter was breached in November, when mussel larvae were detected in the Tiber and Canyon Ferry man-made water reservoirs in north-central Montana.
This week, further preliminary testing suggested that the invasive mussels have not yet moved into other Montana water bodies, while the adult source of the larvae remain undetected.
Of the 372 water samples tested, none revealed new mussel detections, said Jeni Flatow, spokesperson for the mussel incidence response team struck by the Montana state governor last month.
Flatow said the sampling will continue but the focus right now is on the two reservoirs where the positive larvae detections were uncovered.
"We haven't been able to find the adult mussels yet but the assumption is if we find larvae, then there have to be adults somewhere," she said.
Dogs were brought in from Alberta last month, specially trained to smell out mussels potentially hiding in the reservoir shoreline rocks and crevices.
"The dogs had some positive hits but nothing came of it in terms of any adult mussel discovery," Flatow said. "We sent in divers and snorkelers in those areas as well to try and get a visual detection as a followup but nothing was found."
She acknowledged that the hunt for the adult mussels is looking for the proverbial needle in a haystack.
"These reservoirs are hundreds of acres in size so trying to narrow down the location of where adult mussels might be is very difficult. But we keep sampling and looking, to try and figure out where they might be," she said.
Last week, the Okanagan Basin Water Board repeated the plea it's made in previous months for the federal and provincial governments to step up monitoring campaigns for the invasive mussels in light of the larvae discovery in Montana.
"We have been calling on the federal government, and the province, for a stronger defence system since 2012. And it has improved," said OBWB board chair Doug Findlater last week.
"We are pleased to see this, but there are still gaps in our defence with inconsistent enforcement at our borders, and inspection hours that are not long enough. This, and more, needs to be fixed now, before next year's boating season."
The source of concern for Findlater, also the mayor of West Kelowna, is a 2013 study by the OBWB that a zebra or quagga mussel infestation could mean an economic hit to the Okanagan of $43 million each year in lost tourist-related revenue, along with the costs of maintenance for water infrastructure in Okanagan Lake that would suffer irreparable ecological damage.
Flatow said those potential economic losses and its role within the perimeter defence system means the mussel breach is something her state takes very seriously.
"We recognize the impact and concern this causes for our neighbours in Canada and the U.S. and why we very much pay attention to it and are concerned by it," Flatow said.
Besides ongoing water sampling and the creation of a mussel incident response team, plans are in the works to implement a strategic plan of inspection and public awareness next spring and summer, Flatow said.
The state also recently hosted a conference with experts in the field of invasive mussel detection and containment to seek out ideas on how Montana should proceed.
Flatow said there is no surefire solution once an adult mussel invasion is positively detected.
"There are options to consider as a response but it depends on what we find and where the adult populations may be," Flatow said.
"The drawdown of the reservoirs and chemical control measures are two options often discussed but there are side-effects from an ecological perspective that also have to be weighed.
"For example, the chemical option could be detrimental to other species in the water so those consequences have to be considered."
And, whatever Montana wildlife and environment officials ultimately decide is necessary, funding will be an issue when the state legislature reconvenes in January.
As has been the case in B.C. from the OBWB's perspective, government funding for programs to help prevent the spread of the mussels, a big part of that being inspection stations where boats are examined before entering local waterways, has been shortchanged, according to a report in The Spokesman-Review newspaper in Boise, Idaho.
State and federal officials from the northwest states worked together to persuade the U.S. Congress to allocate $4 million for use in 2016 to help Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington expand those prevention efforts.
But the states have not received any of that money yet, due to what one Idaho politician called a "language hiccup."
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers interpreted the purpose of the funds differently from the states awaiting the funding and it was directed elsewhere.
"Had the money been there to help double the work being done at the boat check points, the originator of these mussels might have been picked up before they were in the water," said Mike Cuffe, a Republican Montana state legislative representative.

The King Cobra's biome is the Southeast Asian rainforest. Its habitat are the clearings, bamboo stands, and edges of the forest and it is also commonly found near rivers and swampy areas. The climate that the King Cobra lives in is rainy and humid. The average temperature is usually 95°F.
The King Cobra can grow up to 12-18 feet. Adults weigh 12-20 pounds. Their fangs can grow a 1/2 inch. Their color is olive, brown, or black. The underbelly is creamy or pale yellow. The King Cobra's generic name means "snake eater."
a year. They lay 18-50 eggs. When the eggs are laid, it takes 70 to 77 days for the eggs to hatch. When the eggs hatch the young are 12-25 inches in length. Its average life span is about 20 years. Cobras are solitary and the male does not help to raise the young.
The King Cobra forms a hood when it feels threatened. When threatened, it also raises up one third of its length and may sway toward you. It will also sometimes expectorate (spit) in its prey's eyes which stings and will kill rapidly if it gets into the blood stream. The poison is also a special adaptation that paralyzes the nervous system of its prey, which is often larger than itself .The King Cobra is the only snake that builds a nest and guards it until the eggs hatch.
The King Cobra is a carnivore that eats mainly other snakes, but will eat lizards, some frogs, and sometimes small mammals.
Some of the main predators of the King Cobra are humans, the mongoose, and birds of prey. The cobra mainly preys on the other snakes, even venomous ones.
Since the rainforest is being cut down, the King Cobra is put at risk. Wildlife sanctuaries could be created to created to help preserve the habitat.

Pakistan Court Indicts Ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif In Third Graft Case
ISLAMABAD, Oct 20 (PTI): Pakistan's ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was today indicted by an anti-graft court in a third corruption case related to Flagship Investments and other offshore companies.
The Accountability Court here charged Sharif in absentia for holding assets beyond his known sources of income, and read out a charge sheet to his pleader Zafir Khan.
It was one of the three cases of corruption and money laundering registered by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against 67-year-old Sharif on September 8.
The cases were registered after the Supreme Court disqualified Sharif as Prime Minister on July 28 in the Panama Papers scandal.
Khan on behalf Sharif pleaded not guilty to the charges read out by the anti-corruption judge Muhammad Bashir.
Sharif is in London with his ailing wife Kulsoom, who is suffering from throat cancer and has undergone three surgeries so far. He is expected to come back on Sunday.
The court was told that his sons, Hassan and Hussain were his dependents in 1989 and 1990. However, Sharif, submitted a record of assets for Hassan from 1990-1995, the charge-sheet read.
The charge sheet observed that Sharif had held important positions in public office, including those of the chief minister and the prime minister.
The Accountability Court yesterday indicted Sharif in the Avenfield Properties and Al-Azizia Company cases through his pleader, while charges against his daughter Maryam Nawaz Sharif and son-in-law Muhammad Safdar were framed in the Avenfield reference in their presence.
Now, Sharif has been indicted in all the three cases instituted against him.
His sons Hasan and Husain are also co-accused in all three cases but their trial would be held separately.
The Sharif family pleaded not guilty to the charges, claiming that they were denied the fundamental right to a fair trial.
Sharif has filed a petition in the Supreme Court, challenging the filing of multiple graft cases against him by the country's anti-corruption watchdog.
Sharif's lawyer maintained that the multiple cases were "violative of his (Sharif's) fundamental rights" under the constitution as all the cases deal with one accusation about making assets beyond known means of income.

Melanie Parker, an architect and mother of Sammy, and Jack Taylor, a newspaper columnist and father of Maggie, are both divorced. They meet one morning when overwhelmed Jack is left unexpectedly with Maggie and forgets that Melanie was to take her to school. As a result, both children miss their school field trip and are stuck with the parents. The two adults project their negative stereotypes of ex-spouses on each other, but end up needing to rely on each other to watch the children as each must save his job.

When Apple released the iPhone SE a little over a month ago, I was immediately intrigued. Although I'm what one typically would consider an iOS "power user," I typically get at least two years out of each iPhone, skipping the "S" models. With the iPhone SE, I'd be replacing my iPhone 6 after about a year and a half, but what would I be gaining?
Thinking about getting an iPhone SE? As it turns out, it is compatible with all iPhone 5/5S cases. Because it's Recycling Week™ at SchwarzTech, why not look at some prior cases that were covered on the site? The best part is that some of these can be found heavily discounted online and at your favorite discount store. To the archives!


Dr Datta didn't take a direct route into chemical pathology. Following medical school, he completed several general medicine rotations and had initially planned to become a cardiologist. However, he changed his career path and is now an NHS consultant in chemical pathology and metabolic medicine.
Whilst training in cardiology I got involved in a research project which was part of my MD. This project included some laboratory work, as well as seeing patients. When I went back to my clinical role I missed the diversity of spending some time in the lab, as well as in clinic or on the ward. I therefore spoke to some chemical pathologist colleagues, and decided to train in chemical pathology and metabolic medicine (a sub-specialty of chemical pathology). I also trained in obesity management at the Imperial Weight Centre London.
I found the prospect of a career as a chemical pathologist very attractive, because you tend to have some control over your own diverse work schedule, something which is important for me. I also saw that the specialty lends itself well to developing new interests, and you're also able to work with the latest scientific developments to improve patient care.
I tend to spend 75% of my time doing clinical work ie seeing and treating patients and 25% doing lab work. Some chemical pathologists may spend more time involved with laboratory work.
My clinical time is spent dealing with a wide range of metabolic disorders which may include looking after patients with abnormalities of blood chemistry, such as low sodium or calcium. I also see patients who are at a high risk of heart disease, usually due to high cholesterol and those with metabolic problems related to poor nutrition. When I'm in the laboratory I'm usually working with scientific colleagues to help our service work as well as possible and providing advice to other healthcare professionals regarding the interpretation of results from our laboratory.
During an average day, I might spend a bit of time on all of the above aspects. For example, I may have a clinic in the morning, then various meetings, which could be about training or lab issues. I often deal with a number of phone calls or emails from GPs or hospital colleagues.
One of the attractions for me is the large and diverse range of people that I work with.. They include scientists (both bio-medical scientists and clinical scientists), medical colleagues, nurses and dieticians.
I also find my role allows the opportunity to explain complex medical conditions to patients, which I find highly fulfilling.
I love the variety and, the mix of clinical and lab work. I am very proud of developing and managing the array of services we offer.
I like to keep fit by running and I also enjoy skiing. At present I have a young family and so much of my free time is spent bringing up my 18 month-old son and I am about to have a second child.
Chemical pathology allows me regular hours and flexibility and so I can share family responsibilities with my wife.
I'm developing a new weight management service which is due to be launched soon. Another new exciting challenge is that I'm course director for a new MSc in preventative cardiovascular medicine.

Music lovers converged at Baker Hall, UPLB on Aug. In 2012, the band released its eighth studio album, All We Love We Depart Behind. It's a mixtape by the child with the biggest music assortment you have ever seen, who will take you tenting and show you the way to pull a rabbit out of a hat.

This inspection took place on 18 and 19 May 2016 and was unannounced. The inspection team comprised of two inspectors.
We asked the provider to complete a Provider Information Return (PIR). This is a form that asks the provider to give some key information about the service, what the service does well and improvements they plan to make and we took this into account when we made the judgements in this report. We checked if the provider had sent us any notifications. These contain details of events and incidents the provider is required to notify us about by law, including unexpected deaths and injuries occurring to people receiving care. We used this information to plan what areas we were going to focus on during our inspection visit.
We spoke with seven people. We observed how staff supported people to help us understand their experience of living at the home.
We spoke with the registered manager, three members of the care staff team and two relatives. We sampled records, including people's care plans, staffing records and those relating to complaints, medication and quality monitoring.

Uncharted: Together in the Black Hills

The Perkins family during a hike to the top of Little Devils Tower in late September in Custer State Park, S.D.
Opinion by Chelsey Perkins
The first faint rays of sunlight revealed what happened overnight-6 inches of snow blanketed the city of Custer, S.D., on a late September morning.
It was that morning-an unseasonably cold and wintry affair, more than 5,000 feet above sea level-my family anticipated for more than a year. And so did the buffalo herd roaming Custer State Park. That morning, they would be guided to the ranch by a host of horse riders, all-terrain vehicles and SUVs in a spectacular stampede of more than 1,000 of North America's largest mammals.
The Buffalo Roundup, an annual event drawing thousands of spectators to perch atop hillcrests and take it in, was what prompted the first Perkins family vacation in about 20 years. The last time my dad Bob, mom Kim, sister Brittany and I traveled together, just the four of us, I moped around Universal Studios after Vikings kicker Gary Anderson missed the field goal-you know the one. So yeah, a long time ago.
At 32, I wasn't sure what to expect from my first trip with my parents as an adult. At a week long, it would be the most continuous time the four of us spent together since I left Crosslake bound for the Twin Cities and college life. It could go any number of ways: we could leave in matching T-shirts with a new secret handshake between us, or it could be a very, very long drive home.
OK so the T-shirts didn't happen. But you know what did? My sister, who spent much of her childhood finding agates and digging in the dirt, saw the Mammoth Site in Hot Springs, S.D., and collected rose quartz on our way to the peak of Little Devils Tower. My mom experienced the Buffalo Roundup and marveled at the wildlife and dramatic views we came upon on daily drives. My dad took pleasure in photographing as much of our trip as possible with his new camera and took a rather uncharacteristic liking to wine as we toured a few of the area's breweries and wineries. As for me? I swelled with pride as my little pup Ansel navigated rough terrain and climbed rocks right along with us, and made it a goal to collect magnets from each of the places we visited-a surprisingly high number of locales we packed into our time out West.
We hit the Corn Palace in Mitchell, S.D.; descended into the earth at Jewel Cave National Monument and Wind Cave National Park; traversed the Wildlife Loop and saw elk and the small herd of infamous begging wild burros and nearly every animal we all wanted to see; meandered through the stark and stunning Badlands; and shopped in Keystone for souvenirs (Dad got each of us girls Black Hills gold jewelry).
Of all the moments we spent together-some tense, some joyful, most pleasant-I will never forget the lighting of Mount Rushmore. Each night, before throwing the switch to illuminate the four U.S. presidents immortalized in stone, a presentation covers the ever-evolving idea of freedom in the United States. A park ranger reminds the audience of the costs of freedom, and implores them not to take it for granted, as it has sometimes been in the past. Then, in the wake of the dramatic reading and film, and beneath the now-lit monument, military veterans in attendance are asked to come to the stage to be honored for their service.
My dad served in the U.S. Air Force in the mid-1980s. The period was transformative for him. He struggled a bit in high school-although incredibly smart, he fell off track and worked his way through a number of disciplinary issues, graduating later than planned. He and my mother, high school sweethearts, married at age 20 in a truncated ceremony, moved up on the calendar to accommodate my dad's orders to travel to a base in Germany. Following in the footsteps of his own father and two uncles by enlisting, my dad would be the first to tell you he came back from his time in the service a changed man.
So when the call for veterans rang out in the amphitheater that chilly night and my dad answered it, I watched as he stood among dozens of others who'd dedicated some of their lives to serving the country. Together, veterans and audience sang the national anthem and a few on stage worked together to retire the colors. It was clear how much it meant to Dad to be among those honored that night. It was emotional for all of us, and took on even more meaning as George, Thomas, Theodore and Abe looked on.
It's sometimes easy to forget those closest to you won't always be here. The fragility of life comes into focus when you spend time almost every day detailing the deaths of others in car crashes or drownings, or sharing the stories of tragic diagnoses, or even just glancing over the obituaries. But I still sometimes get lost in the day-to-day, worried about truly minor things in the grand scheme.
Watching my dad proudly accept his well-deserved recognition reminded me how lucky I am, to have the means to vacation with my family, to HAVE my family. It was one of so many first-time experiences on our trip I'll cherish, always.

ARIES. (March 20 - April 18): It's not like you to hem and haw, but you've had your fill of shotgun marriages (business-wise). Finding the right fit takes time.
TAURUS. (April 19 - May 19): It may feel like a do-over, but actually you're doing things the way they should have been done the first time.
GEMINI. (May 20 - June 20): Self-sabotaging tendencies are strong with the Sun opposite Uranus. If you think something's not a good idea then chances are it isn't.
CANCER. (June 21 - July 21): Certain people circling back into your life want to make amends. Can you trust them? History doesn't have to repeat itself if you don't want it to.
LEO. (July 22 - Aug. 21): You're less resistant to the winds of change and that's good. It's better to move with the current of events than against.

O'Reilly was picked by the Boston Bruins in the first round as the 14th pick overall in the 1971 NHL Amateur Draft. O'Reilly spent his entire career in Boston, serving as the captain of the Bruins during the 1983–84 and 1984–85 seasons before his retirement. The Bruins retired his No. 24 on October 24, 2002.
He was inducted into the Oshawa Sports Hall of Fame in 1990.
He became the replacement head coach of the Bruins during the 1986–87 NHL season and kept his job until 1989, when he left to care for, and spend more time with, his son who was seriously ill with liver disease. In that time, he took the Bruins to the Stanley Cup finals in 1988, where they were defeated by the Wayne Gretzky-led Edmonton Oilers. O'Reilly also was an assistant coach for the Rangers for the two seasons prior to the lockout.
In the infamous December 23, 1979, incident at Madison Square Garden, during a post-game scrum, a New York Rangers fan rolled up a program tightly and smacked Stan Jonathan in the face drawing blood, then stole his stick and wielded it like a weapon. O'Reilly scaled the glass and charged into the stands. His teammates followed when other fans tried to intervene. O'Reilly was suspended eight games for his part in the brawl.
On top of his physical presence, he also had a decent scoring touch, highlighted by his 29-goal, 90-point season in 1977–78. He added to that with a 77-point effort the following campaign. He had 211 and 205 minutes in penalties in those seasons respectively, displaying an excellent balance of grit and scoring. He finished his 13-year career with 204 goals, 402 assists for 606 points, a +212 plus/minus and 2,095 minutes in penalties.
Terence Joseph James O'Reilly (born June 7, 1951) is a retired ice hockey right winger, who played for the NHL's Boston Bruins, and one of the most effective enforcers in NHL history. O'Reilly was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
