A Few of the RLA Foundational Level Courses

Written By: Lance Piatt

Hey all!  We’ve just completed and released the first phase of our Operations Level Foundations Course work.  Thanks so much for your patience in this.

The process of being functionally successful within a group. Understanding that nothing ever happens without community, Operations becomes of pivotal importance because it is through the team and or group that objectives are accomplished.  All teams need a plan and blueprint.  Here it is.  These courses are “evergreen”… always in transition and becoming stronger with each revision.

  • Equipment – While this course centers on equipment, I’m sure you realize we can’t really show gear “the what”, without showing “the why” and “the how”. This Equipment course will be an ever-expanding portrayal of not just gear and equipment, but gear and equipment in use. This includes various examples of equipment being properly used per the manufacturer’s specifications.
  • Knot Craft – What are knots, bends, and hitches? The standard definition of a knot is a rope intertwined with itself, a bend is the intertwining of two ends of rope, and a hitch is a knot that is dependent on a host object. In the true spirit of the art of knot craft, defining knots deserves a little more than “intertwined rope!”
  • Anchors- Anchors are the most critical component of any rope rescue system. The entire rescue is in jeopardy if the anchors are not reliable. Are your anchor skills up to par?
  • Mechanical Advantage Theory – Mechanical Advantage is a measure of the force multiplication achieved by using a tool. In most cases, this involves using pulleys, but that isn’t always the case. The purpose is to show how we can achieve more work with fewer people AND that sometimes having more people can actually be dangerous. An overeager group of strapping young men and women on a given mechanical advantage system can yield an explosion of power, that when not desired, could actually create problems.
  • Mainline Systems – An understanding of mechanical advantage systems — in raising and lower modes — is crucial to all rope rescue technicians. Dealing with Mass and Force is aspects of consequence if not considered during operations. Working with tensioned anchor systems, guying systems, high directionals, load positioning and litter movement all come into play when building mainline systems. If these are areas of concern for you — or simply areas in your rigging and rope rescue knowledge that you’d like to strengthen — this course is for you.
  • Belay Systems – In this Rigging Lab Academy exclusive course, Belay Systems, we’re including both team and solo rescues, meaning a traditional belay as well as a lowering system. So while we don’t readily consider a belay system the same as a lower (a true belay is one of “non-tensioned” nature and with the building trend of twin or tandem tension systems on the rise), we thought it would be helpful to think in terms of today as well as tomorrow. So what does a twin tension lower have to do with a solo rescue? Both are now lowering systems and not a belay. As methods continue to evolve, so much the terms and reasoning behind them.
  • Litter Operations – “Rope-based litter operations have become the hallmark of rope rescue teams around the world. The moving of an injured patient over, around and through various terrain types is most often best accomplished by packaging that person in a litter. Modern litters are strong, rigid, and adaptable to many applications. Teams that are serious about patient care and transport will devote a considerable amount of training time perfecting their litter based technique and operations.” – Steve Crandall
  • Personal Skills – Personal skills include, among other things, rappelling, ascending fixed lines, single body belay techniques, pick-off skills, and rope management. We’ll cover most of these topics through this unique Personal Skills course. There are, however, a few like pick-offs that will be covered in more depth in other courses.

And maybe just as my follow-up, thinking about margins in Singapore, right, without the revenues being back online, it’s been hard to analyze. But can you just talk a little bit about puts and takes there now as we get back to very recovered levels on the revenue side about some of the kind of on a stabilized basis as different segments come online because I think there was a tax change there that impacted the market and some other things.

The live dealer providers at our trusted casino sites offer a wide variety of real money roulette games that cater to casual punters and VIP high rollers alike, many of which are available for mobile play at Guts online casino on iOS, Android, and other smartphone and tablet operating systems. French roulette offers the lowest house edge out of all the variants, which is why it is considered to be the best. The game is similar to European rules, which you can see below, but there are additional rules including La Partage which reduces the house edge – down to just 1.35%.

    Natural gas prices have risen since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This visualization highlights the world’s largest natural gas producers. About the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI)  Ciara Linnane is MarketWatch’s investing- and corporate-news editor. She is based in New York. Similar to the growing interest in organic products in the food industry, the SICPA survey also shows significant support for organic products; more than three in four (77%) cannabis users would rather buy cannabis products that are developed with organic principles, over ones that are not. We also advise entities that are not participating in the cannabis industry, including employers (safety-sensitive and otherwise), assisted living facilities, sports and recreation centres, and First Nations and others on preparing policies and regulations to mitigate risks introduced by both medical and adult-use cannabis. https://sanctumfederal.com/community/profile/sunghaun9192340/ How you consume the shrooms is a matter of personal preference. Maya priests of the Actun Tunichil Muknal cave, in what is now Belize, used deer bladders attached to hollowed-out bones to deliver psilocybin rectally. I prefer pouring a cup of boiling water over ground shrooms, letting the tea cool to room temperature, and then drinking it down—pulp and all—as quickly as I can. Some folks put dried shrooms on a piece of peanut butter toast. They taste terrible, but you’re not eating them for the flavor. There is no right answer for what dosage to start with. Some people advocate for starting low and slow with mushrooms. The benefit of this is to really get to know how the experience affects you at all different doses, and to ease into higher amounts over time. Others think that starting with a full dose, between 2-3.5g, is the better bet.
