Know Your Snakes
In the United States, each year an average of 8,000 people receive snake bites from venomous snakes. Some of these people are bitten from the result of not being able to identify the snake, while some others are bitten for the result of identifying the snake incorrectly and getting close to it thinking that it is safe to do so. Even the ‘harmless’, non-venomous snakes can cause a severe infection or an allergic reaction in many people.

Safely Secure Airport Grounds - A Novel Approach To Foil Ground Incursions
Proactively securing airport grounds requires strategic planning at the highest levels and access to critical information that serves to enhance safety measures for ground support crews. Without appropriate planning, implementation, and follow-through to ensure that a plan is producing the desired results, airport grounds exposure to deadly incursions is significantly increased.
Creating stopgap measures between incidences and securing airport ground environments is critical to a loss prevention program. In addition, incorporating proactive management components that include required safety training, regulatory safety integration measures, and proactive incident detection that include safety response tactics is equally important to sustain safe operating conditions. Finally, safety compliance verification, internal/external safety management, and disseminating critical safety information to create “proactive responses” for improved safety standards at airports is gaining congressional support.

Travel Tips - Packing Your Gear
Packing is an important part of your pre-trip planning. Leaving something behind may not be important if you’re heading off to a major destination where you can probably buy what you need. But travel well off the beaten-track (where the best adventures are usually found) and you could be in trouble.
Make sure you can easily identify you luggage. You can get something that has a unique colour or tie a coloured ribbon around the handle - anything that will make your stuff stand out from the crown. It will make it far easier to find in insode a mound of like coloured black backpacks or cases.

Travel Tips - Pick Your Destination
Everyone travels at a different rate. What we mean by that is that some like to take it easy and calmly experience what they can while others want to see as much as they can in the shortest possible time and still others are after excitement and tons of adrenaline.
You need to be aware of the type of traveler you are and make sure you plan a holiday and choose travel companions who are of the same mind. Go to the wrong place with the wrong people and it will not be what you had hoped it would be. Can you imagine getting caught up in a white water rafting holiday down the Yukon River in mid-winter when all you wanted to do was see local native artifcats and take pictures for the bird-watching club back home?
