The World Resources Institute, along with the National Development and Reform Commission of China hosted the Low Carbon Development Workshop yesterday. The workshop is part of WRI's recent launch of a five-year $12.5 million project to advance the progress of environmentally sustainable and livable cities in China, India and Brazil. The funding for the program comes from the Caterpillar Foundation. The workshop was also an opportunity to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) between WRI, NDRC and the Caterpillar Foundation.
To kick-off the project, WRI organized a five-city US study tour for a delegation of high-level Chinese government officials from January 7-12. The delegation is led by Director General Su Wei from NDRC, the main planning agency for the Chinese government. Director General Su Wei is China's chief negotiator on climate change, as well as one of the key decision-makers for low-carbon development initiatives in China. The delegation also includes officials from four Chinese provinces and cities who are directly involved in the policy-making and implementation of low-carbon urban development.
One of the objectives of the workshop is to encourage a dialogue among Chinese, U.S. and international policymakers and researchers to exchange ideas on developing low-carbon city models. The workshop and the project also aim to highlight innovative approaches to one of the world's biggest environmental and sustainability issues—urbanization. And finally, both initiatives work to advance sustainable urbanization and create urban centers that ensure more sustainable and livable conditions for all inhabitants.
Clayton Lane, Chief Operating Officer of EMBARQ and the Global Lead behind WRI's Sustainable Cities Initiative participated in the opening remarks by discussing the efficiency of living smaller and closer together. Lane cited carbon emission data from Toronto's suburbs, city limits and inner city to show that compact cities in the developed world have lower carbon emissions and better quality of life indicators. Of course the availability, accessibility and quality of mass transit, as well as the kinds of industries located in the city have a great impact on carbon emissions, Lane added. A child born today in New York has a longer life expectancy than most of its peers around the world, Lane explained, adding that compact cities also have an impact on decreasing the severity and the amount of road fatalities due to speed restrictions and the available alternatives to private vehicles.
Lane also spoke about road fatalities and how they will soon become the fifth cause of death in the world, surpassing AIDS, tuberculosis and lung cancer, which is why WRI's Sustainable Cities Initiative is an important and critical step in improving living conditions around the world. In a partnership with five cities around the world, in five years, WRI hopes to affect the lives of 35 million inhabitants by focusing on solutions to issues of energy, water and of course, transportation. This will be an opportunity to design the blueprints of cities, Lane explained, planning how cities should be designed and how these designs can be scaled up to meet greater demands.
DG Su Wei continued the workshop's introduction with his Keynote Speech on China's reflections on the Durban climate negotiations and the country's efforts in minimizing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as the effects of a warming planet. Wei acknowledged that although the world could not accomplish UNFCCC's mandate on climate change, the Durban talks were a modest step in the right direction. He spoke on China's national climate policy and its widening guidance for the future of the country. Wei spoke about the three sections in China's efforts to designing climate change policy—mitigation, adaptation and international cooperation—and how the nation is placing an emphasis on fresh water, agriculture, coastal area development and forestry to help alleviate some of the struggles that may arise from climate change. Wei also acknowledged the complexity and sensitivity surrounding international climate change policy and said, "We are not just talking, but also acting. We are serious about what we're talking about and we mean what we said."
Perspectives on Sustainable Development
Following the introduction and the signing of the MOU, panelists gathered to discuss various perspectives on low-carbon development. Janet Ranganathan, Vice President for Science and Research at WRI moderated the panel.
Zou Ji, WRI China Country Director, and Zhenjun Li, Director for the Energy Conservation Office at the Qingdao Municipal Government, presented on China's perspective on low-carbon developments. Ji spoke about China's challenges in meeting the necessary mandates. He said that although China is growing to become a middle-income economy and is now considered an emerging economy, the nation is still very much in its development stage. With 50 percent of the population still living in rural areas, China is still experiencing industrialization and urbanization, Ji explained. This means consumption and emissions, he added. China's growth relies on resources, at the same time, the country is growing more stringent on energy and natural resources, Ji explained. Further complicating matters is the diversity of development, Ji added. The east, west and middle of the nation are all developing at various paces and this requires careful design, he explained.
Jennifer Morgan succeeded China's perspective with an international one on low-carbon development. She explained that investment in clean energy has been growing rapidly but that the real question is whether investment in renewable energy in 2012 will surpass fossil fuel investment in 2012, which Manish Bapna wrote about in WRI Insights just this Tuesday. Morgan gave the example of Germany and their efforts in closing seven nuclear plants and phasing in renewable energy sources. Morgan also spoke on U.S. climate policy and the failure of legislation. But despite the lack of legislation, the administration still has executive authority to regulate, Morgan explained, giving examples of recent improvements to regulations like the Clean Air Act and CAFE Standards. Morgan finalized by explaining that a mix of policies and measures would be the most effective in tackling greenhouse gas emissions. She also explained that a mandatory scheme, rather than a voluntary one, works best in placing clear signals and penalties for emissions.
Finally Holger Dalkmann, Director at EMBARQ, spoke to the perspective of low-carbon developments from a transportation angle. Dalkmann explained that China is becoming the largest car producer in the world, adding 2100 cars to the streets of Beijing everyday and producing 13 million automobiles in 2009. To wrap up the panel, Dalkmann relayed the paradigm shift concept he mentioned in an earlier post. He spoke about the avoid-shift-improve strategy: avoiding travel and reducing length of trips, shifting to more sustainable modes of transport; and improving fuel and vehicle efficiency.

BENT went 6-2 this weekend up in Boston only losing to Brute Squad (twice). We started out Saturday with a 3-1 record, trouncing our first three opponents and then losing a windy game to Brute Squad. We came out Sunday morning with a win to finish pool play, and then began the bracket play. The wind continued blowing throughout Sunday's games. We defeated MissCONNduct first, and looked stronger and stronger as we moved forward in the backdoor bracket. We beat Godiva 14-12 to get to the backdoor finals, and then had an all-out battle against Brute Squad in the game to go. We played incredibly well in the first half, keeping the score tight all the way through to an 8-7 half. Brute pulled it out to take the bid to Nationals, but not without some epic upwind trading of points. Special thanks to Claire for captaining, Josh for coaching, Jamberg for the incredible bag of supplies, Holly for flying back from London, and everyone who helped to make the weekend fantastic! We played the best Ultimate we have all season, and it's clear that next season we will be a force to be reckoned with. Great season, BENT!
9/3/09 Chesapeake was great!! We got in some more excellent games against many of last year's National's teams, and avoided lightening storms down in Maryland this past weekend. We had some close games, an incredible comeback and win against London's Iceni, and played lots of Ninja and lap tag. Check out the photo page for pics from the weekend.
8/19/2009 We have returned from ECC in Seattle. Over the course of three days of playing we faced off against several of last year's national's teams, and got to see some of our west coast competition. We had three wins over Traffic, Slackjaw and Underground, and some other close games as well throughout the weekend. We also ate lots of chocolate cake, celebrated two birthdays, watched fish swim up ladders, ate fish, learned about the Eiffel tower, about latin lovers, hung out with the troll in Fremont, swam in creeks, got sweet new jerseys thanks to FiveUltimate, picked up stranded teammates on the side of I5, and ate homemade pizza.
6/29/2009 Boston Invite was a huge success! More details and media to come soon, but overall it was a fantastic weekend. Saturday we were seeded 10th out of 10 in the Elite Bracket, but went on to take second in the pool after some outstanding games. We lost 12-15 to the 1 seed, Ozone, then beat Pop 15-8, beat Lady Godiva 15-10, and began our game against the Canadian team Stella going up 3-1 before lightening blasted out of the sky and forced us all to retire to the parking lot. We finished up the game for second place in the pool early Sunday morning and narrowly defeated Stella in a battle 13-11. After that we headed to the quarterfinals where we played a great game against Brute Squad, but ultimately lost 13-15. We then waited around for two hours until we could play our consolation game and got to play Godiva again, but couldn't quite the find the fire and ended up losing in our final game.
Overall it was an amazing weekend, as you can all soon see once our video and pictures get posted. Fantastic job everyone!!
6/14/09 Another amazing weekend of tryouts, ladies! We managed to escape the thunderstorms that weather.com were promising and ended having two great days of Ultimate. These were our last practices before the Boston Invite, but there will be several track workouts sent out to do in the next two weeks. We will be playing in the elite bracket up in Boston at the end of the month, so let's make sure to stay in great shape.
6/3/09 Recently Brute Squad invited us to attend a showcase game on the Friday of the Boston Invite in a stadium lit field to promote womens ultimate in the community. Woot!
**Correction on final cuts...We would like to finalize our team after the weekend of June 13th/14th with cuts on the 16th. However if we are on the fence about a decision we may take tryouts to Boston and make our final cut on Sunday the 28th of June.
5/31 Thank you everyone who came out this weekend! We had two great days of tryouts and it was great to see so many high level women out there playing hard. Our next tryouts will be in two weeks and will be our last two tryouts before our final cuts.
5/26/09 Tryouts will continue this weekend with practices both days up in Scarsdale, NY. We will send out an email with more detail in the next few days. In consideration of our out-of-towners, we are planning to run an late afternoon tryout on Saturday, and an early afternoon tryout on Sunday. We hope to see everyone out there!
5/13/09 This weekend we are taking a team up to the White Mountain Open to compete with some great east coast teams like Lady Godiva, Brute Squad, and Storm. Tryouts have started and will continue after Memorial Day. Check the calendar for updated dates, times, and locations.
5/1/09 Sunday tryout canceled due to rain. Track workouts for this week have been posted. If there is interest in doing them as a group, we can meet at the ball fields at Prospect Park on at 7 Monday evening for the first workout, and Thursday for the second.
4/19/09 WE ARE CHAMPIONS!! We took a group down to the Beth Coltman Memorial Tournament this weekend in Delaware, and won the tournament :) We'll have more info soon, including some sort of recap, highlights, and pictures up on the results page. Great playing this weekend, ladies !
4/9/09 The scrimmage is on for this Saturday! As usual we will meet at the Parade Grounds, and try to secure whatever space we can get. We will hope to start at 11, but if you can come early to get secure a field that'd be great. Look for us where we've been playing, or potentially over where the other pick up game is played. It's tough to tell where we'll be able to get space as the weather gets nicer and we get more competition for fields. We will also have some more NY Ultimate t-shirts if you missed out last week.
3/19/09 THE SHIRTS ARE HERE!!!
After much excitement in our apartment over the last few days, as our space was temporarily turned into a workshop, the Bent Elves have finally finished the "beginning of the season fundraiser" shirts. We designed this logo to be a New York themed ultimate shirt, so if you would like one of these homemade (really....in our kitchen) designer t-shirts, we will have some available at our next scrimmage. The shirts will be sold for $12, and all of the proceeds will go to helping fund the team this season.
Date Change ** Our next scrimmage will now be on Saturday, March 28th, because there is a hat tournament happening the 29th at 11am in Central Park. See the Links page for the tournament website.
3/17/09 Happy St. Patrick's Day! Last night the first prints were made of our new design (above). The creative madness happened around midnight in Deirdre and Claire's apartment, where we experiemented with home silk screening, and came out with a great looking t-shirt. Profits from the sale of these will go directly to the team account, helping to secure good practice space for us this season, and help cut down player costs. We'll get some photos up soon.
3/14/09 Happy Pi Day! Today we had our first scrimmages at Prospect Park. We were blessed with perfect weather, and a great crew came out for a few hours of great ultimate. Over 30 women played for close to 3 hours, and the level of play was incredible, especially for being so early in the season. We are really excited about the potential of this team. If you didn't make it out today, our next scrimmage will be held on March 29th.
3/9/09 - The open scrimmages will begin this Saturday at Prospect Park. We would like to begin at 11am with a group warmup, so please arrive on time. Check back later in the week to find the exact location, though most likely we will be playing at the Parade Grounds at the south end of Prospect Park.
3/1/09 The first meeting of some core players happened today in Brooklyn. We got together with some bagels, some homemade banana bread, and included our Rochester player over Skype. Gotta love technology. We were able to solidify some tryouts dates and potential tournaments, and we will be sending out an email to people that have contacted us already about playing this season. If you are thinking about trying out this spring but haven't written to us yet, please contact us so we can include you on any emails we send out.


Maram finally has a chance to be with the prince of her dreams. Prince Amjad, the heir to the throne of Zohayd, had sent for Yusuf-but when he falls ill, Yusuf sends his daughter, Maram, in his place. Maram first met Amjad four years ago and she hasn't been able to get him out of her head since. Maram wants to mend Prince Amjad's wounded heart-after his wife betrayed him he became a cruel and brutal man-and now, in the dunes of Zohayd, she has her chance. Amjad's sublime beauty sets her heart aflame, but little does she know the prince has a wicked plan in store for her-one upon which rests the fate of all of the kingdom!

Hawaii Bound: Kalalau Trail Recap
Well, that was a hell of a trip. It was so damn beautiful. It was physically and mentally crushing, yet soul replenishing at the same time. But with all the planning one can do—when it comes down to it—plans never really go the way one thinks.
Arrival in Hawaii was already past sunset, so there wasn't much to see or do but check into our hotel, make a late night Safeway run (You know what I love here? Hot steamed rice sold at Safeway.) and crash. On our free day before the hike we decided to spend it in Waimea Canyon. We drove to a few lookouts and did part of the Canyon Trail. I could feel I was a little tired from traveling, so we kept it low key and only went in 1 mile. Also, can we talk about the chickens everywhere? I love these chickens. Makes me think of being home in the Philippines at my Nanay's house.
Kalalau Valley lookout. Quite impressive.
We ended the day at the Kalalau lookout to get a sneak peek of what we had in store for us. Talk about wow. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. I couldn't believe I was about to walk myself into it.
Queue the Jurassic Park Music
After a night of prepping our packs and some anxious ridden sleep, we got up at 5a. It took us about an hour to drive to the trailhead, where Conor dropped me off with the packs. He then turned around to park the car at Ha'ena County Park Beach. A lot of research told us to be careful about leaving the car at the trailhead due to break ins and since camping is allowed there, more light and people are around. We were lucky enough to leave the rest of our luggage at the hotel we stayed at the night before for free, so we wouldn't have to worry about leaving anything valuable in the car. He decided to jog the mile back, showing up with a jug of water in hand that he was chugging as he ran.
We started on the trail just after 8a, with the sun already up and not a cloud in the sky. We couldn't help but stop and peek out at the rich blue and teal water, along with the mountain side of lush green and volcanic brown. I couldn't help but hum the Jurassic Park music and spout Jeff Goldblum lines every few minutes. I learned very quickly that there was no way to walk and take it all in at the same time or else I might walk off a cliff. When we reached Hanakapi'ai Beach we took a little break to watch the massive waves rolling in and hide under some trees while being sniffed by some curious wild cats.
At the start we had a pretty good pace going, but as the day went on and the sun got higher, we really started to feel the heat. In Seattle it is pretty hard to prepare for that kind of temperature, so of course it was what hit us first. We started to slow down significantly after finishing the 700ft. climb between miles 2 and 3. I was hoping that there would be a little more relief after that, but Conor started to show signs of heat exhaustion and was struggling with the weight of his pack, having to take it off periodically.
Mile 6 and 7: Shit got real
Hanakoa Valley. They say water has healing qualities. No doubt.
We pushed on slowly for the next 3 miles and arrived at the Hanakoa camp site around 2:30p. At that point we were both feeling various bouts of exhaustion and nausea so took a long break by the creek that ran next to it. We debated about whether to push on or not, knowing that our pace had put us behind our original goal and that we would most like be racing the sunset by the time we would finish. After Conor went back and forth between confidence and doubt, he got up and said, "Fuck it. Let's finish."
Just Kidding, Calling it Quits
We pushed hard for the next mile knowing that Crawler's Ledge was coming up and that we would have to make a very big decision on whether or not we could safely pass. Crawler's Ledge is known for its narrow path along a seaside cliff, with rock on one side and nothing to keep you from the drop off into the ocean on the other. With Conor running on fumes and feeling pretty exhausted myself, we climbed until we could see around the next valley. At that point Conor turned around to look at me and simply said, "I can't do it." I was more concerned with our safety than finishing the hike, so I reassured him that it was better to turn around and go back to the camp site.
We got set up for the night and made dinner, forcing ourselves to eat even though there wasn't much energy to do so. We immediately crawled back into the tent to rest. During the middle of the night Conor started to feel extremely uncomfortable with the heat, so I walked him down to the creek and had him put his feet in the cold water as I held a wet bandana around his neck. We sat there for well over an hour trying to bring his temperature down and slow down his breathing. In that moment where relief was needed, it started to rain. The night finally started to cool off as the rain came down into the early morning.
When we got up in the morning, we decided it wouldn't be smart to push on another 5 miles and attempt 11 miles out the next day. The heat exhaustion was pretty bad and had both used a lot of energy trying to cool down instead of getting a good's night sleep. With low energy to start, the hike out turned out to be pretty brutal. The heat and humidity and really started to wear on us, along with the mosquitoes and heavy packs. I ended up taking a little weight out of Conor's pack and carried it in mine. We relied heavily on looking for the mile markers along the way as a sign of hope that we were getting closer to the end, along with playing the Moana soundtrack on repeat. Straight up singing deliriously like this girl.
See the line where the sky meets the sea? It calls me
AND NO ONE KNOWS, HOW FAR IT GOES
If the wind in my sail on the sea stays behind me
One day I'll know
HOW FAR I'LL GO
Things we should of left at home:
Sleeping bag: it was way too hot. My sleeping bag liner and pad combo, however, was just enough when it got a little chilly in the early morning when it rained. Conor brought his bag and said he wish he brought a pad instead of sleeping with rocks in his back all night.
Extra clothes: really, just wear the same thing other than clean sports bra/undies. Everything is hot and gross already, if it makes you feel comfortable, bring an extra shirt but that's it.
Extra cooking equipment: This is what we sometimes have to do because of Conor's dietary restrictions where we can't cook different meals in the same pot unless we have a safe way to clean it out before using again. In hindsight, we could of used just one for boiling water and 2 cups to eat/mix out of.
Conor's DLSR: number of pictures taken with it: 0. It was too bulky to carry in hand while hiking and too much energy to get it in and out of his pack. He takes most of his pictures with his phone and GoPro anyways, so it was just extra weight. (I didn't take many photos with my camera either, although it is much smaller and lighter and fit in my hip pack. I also just used my phone.)
That Part in Movies Where the Main Character walks into the Ocean
All I could think about the last 2 miles (where I was sunburnt because I was too lazy to apply sunscreen and completely out of water) was about Ke'ee Beach at the trailhead and how I was going to straight up walk into the ocean.
In my head I pictured myself as Nicolas Cage in City of Angels where he has that stupid look on his face at the end of the movie as his pops out of the water. I wanted that stupid look so bad. But damn, it was worth it. We walked straight to the beach, stripped off our bags and clothes and walked in. I took a moment to turn and look at the scenery and had to pat myself on the back. I had been training so hard, and even though we didn't make it all the way, I know we still accomplished a pretty big feat.
As an added bonus, there was a guy selling coconuts out of the back of his truck and yes, I bought one. It felt like there was a gallon of coconut water in that thing because I was drinking non-stop out of it for like an hour.
Takeaway: Life Experience Level Up
We met a solo female hiker from London while we were camping at Hanakoa and appreciated her approach. She booked 5 nights so that she could take her time and go slow, rest when she needed without feeling rushed, and stop along the way to do her photography. She also took the time to check out all the waterfalls along the way and even took the opportunity to swim in one of them naked because no one else was around. We looked like such Americans after we told her we were doing the complete opposite, rushing through to try to get to the end without really being able to enjoy the view and cramming it all into 2 nights. The main reason that kept us from attempting to finish was knowing that we would need more time, which we didn't have as we knew we would have to catch our flight in the upcoming days.
Despite the failed attempt and physical demand that Kalalau presented us, I definitely would want to go back a second time and try again, with a better plan of attack and smarter packing. And more Moana songs.

For decades, Piedmont Families Organization member families have systematically analyzed the parish registers, the notary records, and the records for the exile period, as well as published family histories, to extend their pedigrees.
Many of those PFO ancestries are now available on this site and more will be added as they are received. These ancestries are in the form of GEDCOM files (GEDCOM stands for GEnealogical Data COMmunication—the way computers share genealogical information without it getting all mixed up).
Therefore, once you have identified a Waldensian ancestor who lived in the traditional Valleys but then left to settle somewhere else, you first want to determine if that ancestor is included in one of those already-researched genealogies.
Scan through the list of surnames for each of the GEDCOM files on this site. If the surname you seek appears on one of the lists, write down which GEDCOM it is on—because the surname you seek may well appear on more than one of them. Be sure to check all of the lists of surnames, writing down all the GEDCOMs that surname appears in.
If you have already found more than one Waldensian surname in your ancestry, check each of the lists for each of the surnames.
To go to the lists and GEDCOMs, Click HERE.
CLICK HERE for help in checking the Parish Registers for your ancestor (about 1670 to now).
CLICK HERE for help in using the Notary Records (from the late 1500s to the present).
Make a download of the GEDCOM with your ancestral surname in it. If you already have a genealogy file of your ancestors, you will not want to download this new GEDCOM into that file yet because you don't know for certain that your ancestor is actually in that new file.
Decide what to call your new downloaded file, especially if the surname you seek appears in more than one of the GEDCOM lists. You don't want the most recent downloaded file to delete the previous one.
For instance, if you are searching the surname Janavel, you might give this tentative download of the GEDCOM the name of Janavel-1.
You can download the GEDCOM as a text file or as a self-extracting executable file using the GenViewer software.
This method of download is simple but does not present the data in a user friendly way. To view the data, you must import it into a program designed to display GEDCOM files.
The way the GEDCOM file opens will depend on which browser you are using as well as your browser settings. It will usually open as a text file in a new window that you can then save to your PC. The file can be saved using the "Save Page As" feature in your web browser (Firefox: File/Save File As; Window Explorer: File/Save As; Chrome: Save Page As).
When you save the file, save it as "text" type but use the ".ged" suffix on the file name rather than the default of ".txt". Once the file has been saved, you can open or import it into your favorite genealogy program or a GEDCOM viewer program.
An excellent program for viewing GEDCOM files is GenViewer ($19.95) or GenViewer Lite (free) from MudCreek Software. Several public domain programs are also available (Google search for "GEDCOM" and "viewer").
The advantage of using this type of download is that you do not have to import the data into a genealogy program to view it. The data is displayed the same as it would if you opened it in the GenViewer software. You do not need to buy or install the software. Note that you can only view the data, not edit it. You do, however, have a number of ways to view the data:(1) pedigree view, (2) family group sheet view, (3) individual record view, (4) descendant view and (5) alphabetical index view.
The disadvantage of this type of download is that some Virus Scanning software programs block the download because it is an executable program file. It is perfectly safe to run but most virus scanners can not distinguish it from an executable file that contains a virus. You may need to indicate to your virus scanner that this program is safe to download. The way to do this will depend on which virus scanner you are using. Depending on your browser, virus software and program settings, the method to open the file will vary. Some will present you with a window with a button that asks if your want to run the program. Others will ask you to download the file to your computer. You can then run the program by double clicking on the file name. Note: The self-extracting GenView option only works if you are using the Windows Operating System (XP, Vista, 7 or 8). If you have any problems with this method, contact Dale Alsop for assistance.
If you found your ancestral surname in more than one of the GEDCOM lists of surnames, download the other GEDCOM(s) as well. Be sure to give each new file a separate file name so the next one doesn't overwrite (delete) the previous one.
For example, if you called your first download file Janavel-1, you could call the next one Janavel-2. Such a system would permit you to download as many separate files as you need.
Discover whether or not your ancestor is actually in the GEDCOM file you downloaded.
To do this, you will need to view the file (if you are using GenViewer) or else open the file in your favorite genealogy program. Use the SEARCH function to find the surname you are searching, and then scroll down to see if your ancestor's first name is included in this file. You could also open the GEDCOM in your favorite text editor (Word, Wordpad, Notepad, etc.) but it is somewhat difficult to read.
If you find your ancestor's name, analyze the information carefully to be sure it is in fact your ancestor. Remember that the Waldensian Naming Pattern resulted in many people having the exact same name. To review the Waldensian Naming Pattern, CLICK HERE.
If your ancestor is not in that file, make a note of that so you can delete the file when you finish analyzing each of your downloaded files for that surname.
Continue checking each of your downloaded files in this same way.
Decide which—if any—of your downloaded files to keep.
First, you can eliminate any file that does not include your ancestor (unless you feel that some of the people in the file will someday turn out to be directly related to you).
Then look at the sources of information used by the GEDCOM compiler for your ancestor's family—you don't want to accept anyone's undocumented work, nor do you want to accept a family history with weak documentation—or one that has falsified information in it. CLICK HERE to learn about Falsified Waldensian ancestries.
It is entirely possible to have your same ancestor appear in more than one GEDCOM on this site, and it's also entirely possible that the contributors of those GEDCOMs differ in how well they have documented their research. You want the best documented version you can get. In addition, one PFO family researcher may have noticed one or more bits of documentation that another researcher had missed.
And also look at how many generations of your ancestor's own ancestors are included. One family researcher may have found more generations of the family than another reseacher found.
In sum, you want the most accurate, most comprehensive, best documented information you can find.
You may even decide to save the information about some generations of your family that are better documented in one downloaded file, and then add additional generations from another file that wasn't quite as well documented but extended the pedigree to more generations.
At this point, if you feel comfortable with the new information you have found, add it to your own genealogy program. Be sure the first person(s) in the new addition to your your genealogy program is linked (as parent, child, or spouse) to those who are already in the program.
Delete any GEDCOM files you downloaded that you no longer need to keep.
If you have more than one Waldensian surname to find, repeat the above steps for each name.
At regular intervals, check back to see if more of your Waldensian ancestors have been added to any of the GEDCOMs on this site. If the surname you seek was not previously on one of the lists of the surnames in this section of the site, check the surname lists again to see if it appears.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Give Brandel Chamblee this: He is a man of conviction, and one unafraid of discourse. But he's choosing a bizarre hill to die on.
Earlier this week, Chamblee had some choice words for Brooks Koepka. The three-time major champ had recently disclosed that a new diet—possibly for a magazine shoot—had a detrimental effect on his golf game. Why Koepka would dare tinker with his game, given the heater he's been on the past 18 months, was a decision of great wonder, and vexation, for Chamblee.
"Now, for him to change his body and his body chemistry, for vanity reasons, for a vanity shoot, is the most reckless self sabotage that I have ever seen of an athlete in his prime," Chamblee said. "I get why they ask Gary Player to do that shoot. I get why they ask Greg Norman to do that shoot.
Koepka's first-round 66 at the Masters was a formidable response in itself. But just in case the message wasn't received, Koepka made sure it was triple-stamped Thursday evening.
End of story, right? Except that Chamblee doubled-down on his Koepka indignation on Golf Channel's "Live from the Masters," questioning if the 28-year-old is tough enough to win at Augusta National.
Towards the end of the debate, David Duval and Frank Nobilo jumped in, saying Koepka won the courses he was presented with. "I'm not sure what more you want him to do," Duval said.
Koepka, who's won three majors in his last six major appearances (he missed last year's Masters due to a wrist injury), tees off at 11:04 a.m. on Friday.

Canadians learned little from bombing of Air India flight 182
Canadians can tell you what terrorist attack took place on September 11, 2001. But they will be hard pressed to tell you the terrorist attack of June 23, 1985. It's like it never happened.
Here's some hints. It was the worst terrorist attack in Canada's history. It was the most expensive to investigate. Relative to our population, as many Canadians died on June 23 as did Americans on September 11.
irishexaminer.com
It was the bombing of Air India flight 182.
On that ill-fated day, Air India flight 182 took off from Canada to England, destined for Mumbai (Bombay), India. It carried mostly Canadian passengers, 82 of them children. The total on board was 331. The flight ended violently in the early morning of June 23 off the coast of Ireland.
All seemed normal for those passengers who awoke after a long overnight flight. What they didn't know was that a time bomb was ticking in a suitcase stored in the forward cargo hold. The suitcase had been loaded by a "Mr. Singh" in Vancouver who was suspiciously not aboard.
At 7:08 A.M. air traffic control at Shannon airport, Ireland, radioed Air India. "Air India 182, good morning. Squawk 2005 [activate transponder] and go ahead, please." A crewman on Air India radioed "Air India 182 is . . ." Then silence. At 7:14 A.M., the traffic controller heard a loud, rushing, sound.
It was a fatal and tragic day for the passengers of Air India 182 and things weren't going well for "Mr. Singh" either. According to one explanation, he didn't mean kill all those people. You see, the timer for the bomb was set on the previous day when the suitcases were loaded in Vancouver. The setting of the timers assumed no flight delays – – but there were delays. If Air India had landed on time in England, the passengers would have left the plane and the bomb would have destroyed the plane as is sat on the tarmac.
This explanation is supported by a conversation that allegedly took place between thee Sikh militants in London, a few months after the bombing. The three were Ajaib Singh Bagri, a saw mill worker from Kamloops; Tara Singh Hayer, a publisher of a Vancouver newspaper; Tarsen Singh Purewal a British newspaper publisher.
Hayer recalled the conversation. "Bagri then said that if everything would have gone as planned, the plane would have blown up at Heathrow airport with no passengers on it. But, because the flight was a half hour or three quarters of an hour late, it blew up over the ocean," Hayer told the RCMP.
Regrettably, two of the three who attended that meeting in Britain are no longer alive to recall the details of the conversation.
Calamity befell both publishers Hayer and Purewal after they renounced extremism and printed newspaper articles critical of Sikh militants. Both were gunned down. But Bagri is still alive and being tried in Vancouver with codefendant Ripudaman Singh Malik for his part in the Air India 182 bombing. Undoubtedly, the court will want to hear Bagri's account of the conversation.
But regardless of whether there was a mistake in timing or not, it will be decades before Canadians recognize the terrorist attack for what it was – – a precursor of September 11, 2001.
Canadians at all levels were, and still are, in denial. The RCMP didn't take the ample warnings from the government of India seriously. If they had worn leather jackets and rode Harleys, instead of colourful ethnic costumes with ceremonial swords , the Sikh extremists might have been taken seriously by the RCMP.
Canada's intelligence agency, CSIS, destroyed valuable taped evidence that they had collected before the bombing, hoping that the event would just go away.
It took six months before Canadian Aviation Safety Board admitted that it was a bomb that brought down Air India 182.
The Canadian government was reluctant to even admit that Canadians died in the terrorist attack. Prime minister Mulroney gave condolences to the Indian prime minister, as if it was mostly Indians who died.
We learned nothing from the terrorist attack of June 23. The lesson should have been that terrorism can't be isolated in a globalized society. If we had learned that lesson, perhaps the tragedy of September 11 could have been foreseen and possibly avoided.
1985, Air India 182, Ireland, June 23, Mr. Singh, Shannon airport, worst terrorist attack in Canada's history

Q: How can i pass Actions info to Component, React + Redux? So i'm doing a API request on my Action.js and when it's done, send a 'success' parameter to the component which it's calling the action.
What it's the best way to do that?
My code:
Action.js

export const setarLojas = (lojas) =>{
    return {
      type: SETAR_LOJAS,
      data: lojas
    }
  }

  export const carregarLojas = () => {
    return (dispatch) => {
      return API.get('loja')
      .then(response => {
        dispatch(setarLojas(response.data))

        // Example
        // return "success"
      })
      .catch(error => {
        throw(error);
      })
    }
  }

Component.js
componentDidMount(){
      this.props.carregarLojas();

      // Example
      // if(this.props.carregarLojas == "success") { alert("success") }
    }

A: You can use a status (as state in your reducer, in addition to your data) related to your action;
setarLojas: {
      data: actionData,
      status: actionStatus
}

Then change the value of your status according to your action's result,
example values to use for the status state : 'request' | 'error' | 'timeout' | 'success'.
example action:
export const setarLojas = (lojas, status) =>{
   return {
      type: SETAR_LOJAS,
      data: lojas,
      status: status
   }
 }

export const carregarLojas = () => {
    return (dispatch) => {
      dispatch(setarLojas({}, 'request'));
      return API.get('loja')
      .then(response => {
        dispatch(setarLojas(response.data, 'success'));
      })
      .catch(error => {
         dispatch(setarLojas({}, 'error'));
         throw(error);
      })
    }
  }

In your components, after connecting it to the redux using the connect hoc, you can get your data like:
const mapStateToProps = state => ({
     setarLojasData: state.YOUR_REDUCER.getIn(['setarLojasData', 'data']),
     setarLojasStatus: state.YOUR_REDUCER.getIn(['setarLojasData', 'status'])
})

There you go, you have now the status that describe your action's result and according to its value, you can manage your view then use the data.

A: You should use Redux middleware Thunk to solve async api call issue. Thunk will handle your async api call.

Purpose – Temporary workers have many human resource and labour market implications. These consequences are further influenced with the introduction of new legislation relating to temporary workers. The purpose of this article is to present research on the impacts of the legislation – Fixed Term Employees Regulations and Conduct of Employment Agencies and Employment Businesses Regulations – on temporary workers in the labour force. Design/methodology/approach – Information from 24 Labour Force Surveys, conducted between December 1997 and November 2003, were analysed with two longitudinal Labour Force Surveys. Qualitative data was also gathered from six temporary worker employers and 17 agency workers. Findings – Analysis of data demonstrated that the utilisation of temporary workers had declined in the labour force: Temporary workers had decreased in real terms by 24 per cent and agency workers who were less regulated by only 11 per cent. Also, an increased take‐up of permanent work by temporary workers was found post‐legislation (27 per cent) compared with pre‐legislation (22 per cent). Research limitations/implications – Some limitations exist in the study using National Statistics and qualitative data to analyse labour force dynamics. Further research is warranted in this area investigating how strategic decisions in utilising temporary workers are formed and how recent legislation has influenced these policies. Practical implications – Changes in temporary worker legislation have direct consequences to the labour force. Originality/value – The paper reveals the decline of temporary workers in the labour force between 1997 and 2003 and examines specific legislation, which may have influenced this phenomenon.

The provision of healthcare is an essential service to the population and its quality deeply impacts the human being. On the other hand, the current socio-economic situation has emphasised the need for carrying out various changes in the operational paradigms in force, and healthcare services are no exception.
Therefore, it is urgent to introduce changes to guarantee procedure sustainability and autonomous continuous improvement, preferably through the establishment of a self-regulated culture of agility, which will turn the organisation into a living organism, very much like a human being. It is therefore important to provide professionals in these areas with a skill set which will enable them to have not only a more comprehensive view of the organisation, but also to intervene consistently in the processes so as to establish a successful path.
Therefore, the Postgraduate programme in Management of Healthcare Providers Services at ESEIG offers indispensable help to healthcare professionals, especially those who will or already hold a post which entails managerial or administrative activities, both in the private and in the public sector.
The skills acquired are expected to create inquiring and assertive mindsets, and high-value dynamics which will turn these professionals into cornerstones of the organisation they are inserted in.
The Specialised Postgraduate Programme in Management of Healthcare Providers Services at ESEIG induces the acquisition of knowledge and essential healthcare management skills, regardless of the legal nature of the entity. The programme is specifically aimed at the healthcare sector.
To provide comprehensive training in management, directed at the healthcare sector, which may complement and enrich the experience of the participants.
To contribute for the development of effective management skills for healthcare providers or similar institutions.
To provide knowledge and mastery of essential service management tools, while also fostering the development of an agile and competitive organisational stance.
With this in mind, the programme is specifically aimed at professionals in the healthcare sector (or other related areas) who wish to improve their CV by broadening or deepening their management skills.
The programme is also relevant for those professionals in the areas of engineering or economics (and others) whose activities are closely linked to the healthcare sector.
The syllabus of the Specialised Postgraduate Programme includes 11 subjects which will be taught in sequential modules (a total of 320 teaching hours).


To celebrate, everyone one may claim one Enchanted Pumpkin Lantern.

Hellraiser & Hellraiser II are without a shadow of a doubt on my list of disturbing horror flicks. While Pinhead and The Cenobites were the stars of the films it was always the box that took center stage. For the uninformed Hellraiser was based on a book by Clive Barker called The Hellbound Heart. The Hellraiser films embraced the taboo nature of sadomasochism and also the levels one is will to sink to feel pleasure. "Pleasure" was brought to by the Lament Configuration aka LeMerchand's Box which once solved would release hooked chains that ripped through flesh and prepared you for the Cenobite visit. The origins of the box were explained in later films that lacked the magic of these two horror classics. A must see for any true horror fan.

(CNN) - A good soldier never publicly contradicts the commander in chief, at least not intentionally, and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is a good soldier.
A Vietnam War veteran, Hagel provided a robust defense of President Barack Obama's approach to ISIS jihadists in Iraq and Syria when interviewed Wednesday by CNN National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto.
With Obama facing criticism over what even a fellow Democrat called too much caution, Hagel sought to make clear that the President wants to eliminate any ISIS threat to the United States and its interests - both abroad and at home.

Q: GIS for Telecommunication I previously asked this question in mapinfo-L (google groups). Since, I think that GIS & Telecommunication is broad subject, I think GIS SE is the correct platform to ask these questions:

*

*What are the uses of GIS in telecom?

*How to use GIS for telecom?

*Is there any free study and test material? There are a lot of them but none are free :( .

A: I worked as a GIS analyst in the celluar telecommunications industry for a short while.

*

*Most of my tasks centered around working with coverage data, i.e. making coverage maps. I also did a lot of analysis with Census data, determining how many people we covered, what services they were covered with, and how many people lived in areas with "good" coverage. A lot of the coverage modeling software is GIS-enabled as well.

*When I was in telecom, most companies were using MapInfo. I'm not sure if this is still true. We made heavy use of the Vertical Mapper (raster analysis) extension do work with coverage data.

*Well, I would start by learning MapInfo, if you don't know it already. Training is available here: http://tutorials.mapinfo.com/tutorials/Index.htm. It's hard to come by free telecom data to practice with, though.

A: There are lots of different areas of Telco.  I'd suggest looking into Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH).  If you're in the US, stimulus funding for deploying fiber to rural areas makes this an attractive area.  (This sure looks better than LightSquared plan which interferes with GPS reception.)
The relational database designs for modeling fiber connectivity I've seen are quite complex.  Keeping track of splices is especially challenging.  It makes me wonder if something other than the relational model would be better suited.

From ArcFM's Fiber Manager.
Here's a related question.

A: I once worked in Telecom project and learned a lot out of it.
The best GIS work i have seen in Telecome sector is Telcordia.
Have a look on their brochure which explain little bit what they can do in Telcome.

A: The use of GIS in telecom is most of all about documentation. What is the infrastructure (cables, ducts, customers, ...) of the network operator? Which cables are spliced on to each other? ...
Next to documentation, planning new networks (typically fibre based, or FTTx) with GIS enables great features. (Disclaimer: I work for a company that has a product for planning fttx networks)
Using GIS early in the planning process, you can answer valuable questions that can increase the ROI of a project. For example

*

*How much does it cost to build a network in a certain area? Based on GIS data, you know exactly the bill of material, and the costs of your network. Typically, this costs is being guesstimated based on previous projects. If you plan a network for 1M customers, and you estimate the costs incorrect by €1 per customer, you could run into troubles...

*If you combine costs per neighborhood with geomarketing information (data about adoption of a telecom service, linked to location of the customers), you can optimize where to roll-out the network and in what order. Doing so, you maximize where to invest in order to get the most return.

Using GIS later in the planning process, when you are building a to-build plan, enables you to document exactly what a contractor has to put in the ground. This enables a better project management, and simplifies solving operational issues when a link is destroyed.

A: You might want to take a look at TeleCAD-GIS, an Autodesk-based (commercial) software platform for planning, design, analysing, documenting and maintaining telecommunications infrastructure. It provides both geographical and schematic approach to telco networks designs, including: base maps, conduits, copper, fiber, coaxial and wireless networks, EMI and OTDR. The solution is widely used throughout SEE. More info on overall telco GIS Platform architecture.

Disclosure: I am one of the developers of TeleCAD-GIS.

A: Yes, there is some free software. We are strongly using QGIS open platform in Telecomunication. We published free FTTx / FTTH planning and design software. You can download it at FTTx planning software
Answering first two questions, nowadays there is no network inventory without GIS. We are proposing use of network inventory software as a center system from which you can genereate design and installation documents. More info at: https://ksavinetworkinventory.com
Disclaimer: I am from company that owns this solution.

A: There's so much you can do in Telco.
To name a few, you cna do push marketing, you can create areas, such as O2 Germany, called home areas which allow you to use your mobile inside certain areas as the cheaper home rate, then track the phoen to charge them approiately if they use it out of the area, you can check out the demographics of your customers, locations.  You can track a phone user (useful for keeping tabs on kids, workers, company assets, vehicle tracking, etc).
In short, pretty much everything you can do in business, you can do with Telco's.  One of the things you should do as a practitioner, expecially freelance, is to expand a clients understanding of what is actually possible.  Not only do Telco's have the address information of their clients, they actually know where they are, if their phone is turned on.  This opens up endless development of that location data.

A: Any telco that uses microwave links has a whole mess of line-of-sight modelling to do to plan and maintain links. With longer links, link speed and propagation depends on the weather. Tree growth can be an issue, as can new buildings and structures built in or near the path.
I don't work for a telco, but since I build very tall things in rural areas, I've sure worked with their land and GIS departments.

Throwback Sundays: Six Watch Recommendation for a Graduation Gift, from Our Archives
In this week's Throwback Sunday, we look at six watches for a graduation gift.
by Robin Lim on July 16, 2017
There are several milestones in one's life, and graduating from a polytechnic or university is probably one of the most significant ones in our lives. It is not just a celebration of achievement. But rather, it signifies a change in a person's life as well – from a student to a working adult, with additional responsibilities and expectation coming up along the way.
However, before we digress further about the subject of adulthood, we think that it is an apt time to take a break and celebrate this achievement. For many people, it is common to purchase a watch to celebrate a big milestone in one's life. We reckon that this is one of those major milestones, and that a watch is certainly appropriate for such a joyous occasion.
Many friends, as well as collectors, might be wondering what are some of the watches that they should consider. Well, don't worry! In this article, we have selected six different watches – covering different styles and price points. What have we selected? Let's find out!
Tissot PRS516 Small Triple Seconds
The Tissot PRS516 Small Triple Seconds.
We begin the article with a rather interesting and fun timepiece: the Tissot PRS516 Small Triple Seconds.
The first thing that caught our attention with this timepiece is the dial's layout. Or more specifically, the placement of the seconds indicator. It is deconstructed and placed in three different positions, each displaying twenty seconds. While it is seemingly complicated-looking, but the mechanism behind it is rather simple. Each of the three seconds hands are synchronised, and the red seconds hand will appear in the respective window when it is indicating a particular timing. So, for example, at the 45 second mark, the red hand will appear on the sub-dial at the 10 o'clock position, while the two other hands will be hidden beneath the main dial. While the concept is intriguing, but the execution is deceiving simple.
The watch utilises the workhorse ETA 2824 movement, with an additional triple seconds module exclusive to Tissot. In addition, it has a date indicator, and a power reserve of around 42 hours. It retails at S$1,620.
NOMOS Tangente
A pair of NOMOS Tangente.
When it comes to watches in the low four-digits price tag, there are not many competitors that can match what NOMOS has done. The Glashütte-based watch manufacturer, who is known to produce Bauhaus-inspired timepieces, is one of the brands that offers in-house produced movements at a rather reasonable price point. Its simple design, which leans on minimalism, is also a hit with many collectors as well.
One of their best-selling collection is the Tangente. It is a simple three-hand watch, with the only two available complication being the date and power reserve indicator. It is also available in different case sizes, as well as the option of having a manual-winding or automatic movement. We have a soft-spot for the manual-winding version, as it is the oldest movement (the Alpha) that is produced by NOMOS. It has a power reserve of around 43 hours, with a hacking seconds mechanism. It also features the signature German three-quarter bridge and the Glashütte ribbing as well. The finishing, in addition, is pretty decent as well.
With a starting price of S$2,170 for the basic Tangente 33, it is definitely a watch that offers an excellent value proposition. It is also very elegant, and we feel that it will go well with any office wear.
Breitling Colt Skyracer
The Breitling Colt Skyracer – the new base model in the Breitling family.
For the sporty individual who fancies an epic adventure, we have a timepiece that will suit perfectly: the new Breitling Colt Skyracer.
Launched earlier this year, the Colt Skyracer is the new entry-level piece in Breitling's line-up. The watch is mean for the younger crowd, who has a keen sense of adrenaline and adventure. One of the main highlight of this watch is its case material – which complement its characteristics nicely. The 45mm case is produced with Breitlight, a material that is produced by Breitling themselves. It is said to be three times lighter than titanium, and significantly more resistant to scratches and wear than stainless steel. In addition, it is fitted with a rubber strap, which makes an excellent companion for any outdoor adventures.
Powered by Breitling's Caliber 74, the SuperQuartz movement record of a 10 second deviation per year, and has a battery lifespan of around 8 years. It is certainly a reliable and solid timepiece, and with a price tag of US$2,000 (approximately S$2,745), the Colt Skyracer is definitely an interesting proposition for someone who wants a rugged and sporty timepiece.
Seiko Presage 60th Anniversary Automatic Limited Edition Chronograph
The Seiko 60th Anniversary Automatic Limited Edition Chronograph. This one features the lustrous Urushi dial.
In recent years, the interest in high-end Seiko watches is increasing steady. With the proliferation of rave reviews and excellent timepieces, Seiko has carved a niche for themselves in producing affordable timepieces that are capable of beating the Swiss at their own game. The Seiko Presage 60th Anniversary Automatic Limited Edition Chronograph, is an excellent example.
The watch, which was produced the celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Presage collection, comes with two different variants. It is fitted with either the black Urushi lacquered dial, or the white enamel dial. The former is especially interesting, as the dial is produced by using the sap from Japanese lacquer trees, and it is applied a layer at a time then hand polished. This is done several times over, to achieve the shine that we see from the final product. It contrasts rather nicely with the silver markings on the dial as well.
Powered by Seiko's Caliber 8R48, the automatic movement features a vertical clutch and column wheel for the chronograph. It has a power reserve of around 45 hours, and the finishing is decent for its price point. It retails at €2,800 (approximately S$4,400), and they are only 1,000 pieces for each variant that are produced.
The Omega Speedmaster Professional, otherwise also known as the "Moonwatch".
If we are talking about watches with a cool provenance, there aren't many timepieces out there that are capable of beating the Omega Speedmaster Professional. After all, there are not many watches that can claim that it has been on space missions, let alone being the first watch that is worn of the Moon.
Aside from its cool history, the "Moonwatch" is an extremely iconic and well-designed timepiece. The watch, which was first introduced in 1957, retains its classic design despite being around for a good six decades. In addition, the movement – Calibre 1861 – is a solid movement. The manual-winding movement is fitted with a cam actuated chronograph, and it has a power reserve of around 48 hours.
The 42mm timepiece is available in different variants, but we highly recommend the Speedmaster Professional. It is because the model is similar to the one that had went to the Moon, and that we reckon its timeless looks will still remain relevant even decades from now. It retails at S$6,850, and we believe that it will make a cool graduation gift for someone who is fascinated with its interesting history.
The new Explorer. The dial layout and design is maintained, but with some subtle updated.
Finally, we round up the article with the quintessential Rolex Explorer.
Many people buy a Rolex to celebrate an achievement, and what would be more apt than to celebrate a graduation with a timepiece from one of the most iconic watch manufacturer? Of course, Rolex produces many wonderful pieces – from the likes of the Datejust, to the sporty Daytona. But we have selected something that is simpler and versatile – the Explorer. Recently updated in 2016, the Explorer features a simple three-hand layout, coupled with a dial that combines both bar indices and numerals (3,6, and 9).
The 39mm watch is fitted with Rolex's Caliber 3132. The self-winding movement is certified to Rolex Superlative Chronometer Standards (+2/-2 second a day), and boasting a decent power reserve of around 48 hours. It is also equipped with a Parachrom hairspring and Paraflex shock absorbers.
Priced at S$8,770, the Explorer is certainly a tad pricier than the watches that we have highlighted today. But nonetheless, it is an excellent timepiece, and one that is definitely worth its slightly hefty price tag.
The idea behind this week's theme was rather interesting. Many of the author's friends have recently graduated from university, and they are looking to commemorate this occasion with a nice timepiece. Many of them have a budget of a low to mid four-digit figure, which is the reason why we have selected four watches that fits the criteria. For those who are able to stretch their budget a little, or if their parents are sponsoring the gift, then perhaps we reckon iconic watches – such as the Explorer or the Speedmaster – are classic choices that they might want to potentially consider.
Do you agree with the watches that we have selected? We would love to hear what are some of the other alternate choices, as well as some of the watches that you have bought or received as a graduation gift.

La pointe d'Arcalod est le point culminant du massif des Bauges à  d'altitude.

Ascension

Son versant est, au départ de Nant-Fourchu dans la commune d'École, est relativement aisé à gravir pour un marcheur averti (quelques dalles à franchir). Il faut toutefois se méfier des chutes de pierres qui peuvent être nombreuses en cas d'affluence.

Le randonneur plus expérimenté pourra tenter la traversée par la magnifique arête nord. En partant du pont de Leyat (Jarsy), il passera par le col de Chérel puis montera au col du Curtillet. À partir de là, le parcours devient aérien avec quelques passages rocheux à franchir : on progresse sur l'arête tantôt à gauche tantôt à droite puis sur le fil avant de rejoindre le sommet et de redescendre par le versant est.

Son escalade en hiver est, par contre, réservée aux amateurs de ski extrême. Pierre Tardivel y a notamment ouvert deux voies baptisées les Florianes en 2000 et en 2006 sur son versant est.

Géologie
L'arête sommitale de la pointe d'Arcalod est constituée par une barre urgonienne qui appartient au flanc est de l'anticlinal de Chérel. Une faille importante, la faille de l'Arcalod, traverse à flanc tout le versant ouest de la montagne et interrompt définitivement la bande d'affleurements urgoniens formant la crête rocheuse.
