Pulling over for the night to rest, waiting out poor driving conditions, and securing a sober ride are excellent examples of dynamic risk management; Inclement weather, fatigue, or drinking and driving can disrupt the best of holiday plans.

Trash can make you a target:    www.usar.army.mil

Boxes from items like jewelry or electronics left curbside for trash collection provide good indicators to potential burglars about what high-value items are located in the house.

Don’t broadcast your activities over the Internet. Criminals troll through pages hoping to find tips and clues on empty houses. Posts on social media sites about an upcoming vacation can be an invitation to someone looking to burglarize your home.

Preparing food:

Fully thaw your turkey before lowering it into a turkey frier. A frozen turkey and boiling hot oil are a recipe for a fire. Make sure all friers and grills are at least 20 feet from the house and not under the porch roofs or around combustibles. Have a fire extinguisher nearby to be ready for an unexpected fire.

Make sure to refrigerate cooked foods within 2 hours to avoid the growth of bacteria. Consume refrigerated leftovers within 4 days.

The holiday season is one of the most special times of the year for the Army Reserve with Soldiers and their families celebrating their own unique traditions. Many of us are eager to catch up on travel and precious time with family and friends. However, we can all do our part to avoid unnecessary risk, since they can become more prevalent when distracted by holiday activities.

Whether you’re planning to stay home and host for the holidays or travel to be with your loved ones, getting tips from an expert can make for a smooth holiday season. One of those experts is Michael Tulley, U.S. Army Reserve Command (USARC) Safety Director, whose career is focused on mitigating risk. Through his experiences in service as a Soldier, and now a Civilian, Mr. Tulley knows firsthand that continuously reassessing hazards and adjusting mitigation strategies as conditions change is just as effective off duty as it is during a mission.

There are many ways we can protect our families and homes during the upcoming holiday season including:

Planning and ensuring the car is safe before and during road trips

Practicing safety as you decorate

Following food safety standards in cooking and storing foods

Discreetly disposing of trash from high-value items

Being mindful of social media posts about upcoming travel

Communities of color, especially African-American communities, are deeply suffering as they face violence, injustice, lack of access and inequality. This cannot stand. We must work together to take on and dismantle racism when and where we see it, and work toward more just, united, healthy, and peaceful communities. We all suffer when racism exists.

We applaud the many Philly organizations that are finding ways to create interactive, meaningful programming at this critical time. We welcome collaborators for future programs. Our sincere thanks to all who are helping others out there, even at risk to their own health.

Peace Day Philly will continue to stand against racism and for greater safety, justice and peace in Philadelphia communities and beyond.

Peace Day Philly promotes and collaborates on programming related to personal, local and/or global peace, on and around the United Nations International Day of Peace (“Peace Day”), SEPTEMBER 21.

Peace Day Philly was founded in 2011 by a small group of individuals and organizational representatives, including the UN Association of Greater Philadelphia, as a grassroots initiative. PDP became a formal non-profit in 2013. As of 2018, Peace Day Philly became a non-governmental organization (NGO) affiliated with the United Nations.

In 2011, Peace Day Philly hosted 3 free, diverse peace programs in Philadelphia. By 2013, there were well over 20 peace programs taking place annually during the week in which Peace Day falls, offered by a wide range of organizations and groups. In past years, children and youth have participated in peace activities in schools and libraries across the region, and the Philadelphia Police Department has offered numerous additional youth and community building programs in Philly neighborhoods.

Peace Day Philly offers and collaborates on programs, but many of the activities that make up each year’s activities are offered by Philly-region organizations based on their work as it relates to peace and justice. 20-60 Organizations are involved each year.

PEACE DAY PHILLY WORKS TO:
– ENCOURAGE a broad-base of organizations to use the platform of the United Nations International Day of Peace (observed worldwide on and around September 21) to offer and/or engage in an activity related to peace that is in keeping with their mission/goals.
– COLLABORATE with other organizations and groups to develop and present high-quality, content rich programs on a wide range of topics related to personal, local and/or global peace.
– PROVIDE a wide range of resources and links via our website and social media for organizations, groups and individuals to engage in Peace Day.
– ENGAGE civic offices, city Departments and leaders to use Peace Day Philly to forward ongoing safety enhancement and community resiliency work taking place year round.
– PROMOTE peace programs and activities – both local and global – throughout the year through community partnerships.
– SUSTAIN efforts and initiatives sparked by the International Day of Peace whenever possible.

Namaste. The Colorado fire has destroyed 1,000 homes including that of Karma Sherpa and his family. Karma’s approach to staying positive is remarkable. He, Dafuti and their children are safe (this photo is from a local hotel today), which he recognizes is most important.

“AARP has a strong history of leading innovation by changing the marketplace,” said Jo Ann Jenkins, CEO of AARP. “Our members are disrupting aging in a variety of ways and so is AARP. The AARP Innovation Fund is the next evolution of our ability to fulfill our social mission by making sure that the needs and interests of those 50-plus are well represented by products and companies.”

The AARP Innovation Fund will make direct investments in early- to late-stage stage companies developing innovative products in three healthcare related areas:

Aging at Home—The fund will encourage the development of products and services that leverage technology to enable older adults to continue living in their homes safely and affordably such as: home sensor activity tracking; hearing and vision health; mobility assistance; meal plan/delivery/cooking solutions; social communities; physical augmentation devices.

Convenience and Access to Healthcare—The fund will support the advancement of products and services that enable 50-plus consumers to adopt positive health behaviors that they welcome into their lives such as: telemedicine; consumer diagnostics; consumer care transparency tools.

Preventative Health—The fund will seek to expand the market for products and services that help 50-plus consumers prevent the onset of serious health conditions such as: diet and nutrition management; stress and emotion management/therapy; fitness apps and programs; integrated health engagement incentives; cognitive and brain health.

In addition to financial support, some companies receiving these investments will have access to AARP’s knowledge and distribution channels to help 50-plus consumers have the opportunity to benefit from these innovative products and services.

“We look forward to working with AARP on this fund that will invest in and support innovative companies creating solutions for the people in this powerful and growing key demographic and their families,” said Kathy Rosa, Managing Director and Portfolio Manager in J.P. Morgan Asset Management’s Private Equity Group. “Our knowledge of the market, combined with AARP’s expertise on the wants and needs of those 50-plus, is a powerful combination that will help the AARP Investment Fund invest in innovative companies in the consumer healthcare space.”

People 50-plus are online, connected and make use of technology that is intuitive and consumer friendly. They have tremendous buying power – responsible for at least $7.1 trillion in annual economic activity – a number that is expected to grow to $13.5 trillion by 2032. Companies working with the AARP fund have a great opportunity to grow the double bottom line: They can increase revenue and improve the lives of Americans as they age.

Jenkins concluded: “The Innovation Fund showcases AARP’s ability to generate bigger, bolder solutions that will disrupt aging, increase our impact on and drive relevance for the 50-plus population.” B-roll/video about the AARP Innovation Fund can be found here: https://vimeo.com/aarpbroadcast/review/140975010/c07b26a4df.

Established shortly after, as an effort to provide support from the U.S. to the Israeli hospital,
American Friends of Rabin Medical Center, is proud to celebrate 20 years of growth and
success on November 23rd as we host our 16th Annual Gala at Cipriani 42nd Street.
Charlie Rose returns as Master of Ceremonies for the 6
th year and will be joined by the
Honorable, Henry Kissinger in an exclusive on stage interview. Today’s headlines are an
appropriate reminder of the importance of Rabin’s efforts to bring peace to Israel. As we honor
the memory of Yitzhak Rabin, Kissinger, whom Rabin considered both a friend and role model,
will share his personal experience of their working together on this joint goal towards peace.
Prime Minister Rabin was respected by many, including honorary event chairs, Consul General
Ido Aharoni, Senator Richard Blumenthal, Governor Andrew Cuomo, Mayor Bill de Blasio, Tovah
Feldshuh, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, Senator Charles Schumer, Professor Elie Wiesel, and
Mortimer Zuckerman. And he was truly admired by President William J. Clinton. With the
support of these and many others, what started as small gatherings and parlor meetings in DC,
AFRMC has emerged as an influencer of U.S. contributions to Israel, ensuring that Rabin
Medical Center remains at the top of the Medical Industry in the Middle East and worldwide.
In 20 years American Friends of Rabin Medical Center’s successes include:
 The expansion of the Davidoff Cancer Center, which is in plans to double its size by
2017
 The Annual Cheryl Diamond NYC 5K Schlep Run/Walk and Annual Quaker Ridge Golf
Outing that focuses to raise Breast, Ovarian and Prostate Cancer awareness and funds
for Rabin Medical Center, a leader in BRCA testing for both Men and Women.
 The 70 doctors that AFRMC has brought to study medicine throughout the U.S. as part
of the Rabin Medical exchange program.
 The medical advances in Israel, as Rabin Medical Center doctors participate in
developing new technologies
 Top Level Jusidman ER and Trauma Center that hosts one of only six level 1 Burn Units
in Israel thanks to the efforts from AFRMC.
This year we are pleased to honor New York Commercial Real Estate powerhouse, Jonathan
Mechanic of Fried, Frank. Mechanic is to be lauded by AFRMC Chairman, Peter Riguardi and
President Ron Cohen of JLL and gala co- chairs and titans of industry Stanley Chera, Crown
Acquisitions, Richard Chera, Crown Acquisitions, Richard Egosi, Teva Pharmaceuticals Ltd., Marc
Holliday, SL Green Realty Corp., Scott Rechler, RXR Realty, Stephen Siegel, CB Richard Ellis,
Robert Sorin, Fried, Frank and Rob Speyer, Tishman Speyer.

Petach Tikvah. It is a national organization headquartered in Manhattan. Through a variety of programs
and fundraisers across the United States, the funds raised by American Friends of Rabin Medical Center
are earmarked to help Rabin Medical Center expand its facilities, purchase the most advanced medical
equipment and technology, and participate in monumental developments in medical care and
technology.

WHAT: 

WHY:  In addition to one-of-a-kind views of the WWII Memorial, Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial, Lincoln Memorial and Reflecting Pool, the webcam was installed in time to view Jorge Rodríguez-Gerada’s facescape, “Out of Many, One.” This month-long National Portrait Gallery exhibit required 2,000 tons of sand and 800 tons of soil to create.  The National Stone, Sand and Gravel Association helped make the project viewable to the public with EarthCam.
