Lt. Gen. Rick Lynch, commanding general of Installation Management Command, was the honored speaker at the All-Veterans Memorial Service on Sunday, April 17, 2011. He and his wife, Mrs. Sarah Lynch, attended the event along with Command Sgt. Maj. Neil Ciotola, held at the Monument for the Battle of Hill 881 South on Veterans Square Auditorium Circle in downtown San Antonio, Texas.
The Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 366 hosted the service on the last day of Fiesta, an 11-day “Party With a Purpose” that donates all proceeds to local charities. About 100 people attended the service, including members of the military from units and commands based in San Antonio, veterans, members of the Vietnamese-American Community and those simply wanting to say “thanks.”
Lynch told the story behind the monument dedicated to the Vietnam War’s Battle of Hill 881 South, an image of a radio operator treating a wounded comrade. The operator’s face is lifted toward the sky, searching for the medevac helicopter to help his friend, Lynch explained.
“I think a lot about freedom and about how somebody paid for it,” he said to the multitude of veterans and servicemembers in the crowd. “Those somebodies are here in the crowd today. I’m humbled to be in your presence.”
Pointing to the medals on his uniform, he said, “These trappings mean nothing to me. What’s important to me is recognizing those who serve. I want to thank you for your service.”
Lynch also took time to recognize the difficulties both Wounded Warriors and Gold Star Families face during recovery and asked that Americans take time thank them for their service. He reminded the crowd of the tragedy they have live through every day since the attack on Sept. 11 and that the Army will be fighting that war for another decade.
“We took the fight to there so we don’t have to fight on the streets of San Antonio,” he asserted as the crowd applauded. “We need your continued support.”
Trong Pham, chief engineer of the personnel system at Randolph Air Force Base, the “Expression of Gratitude” speaker at the service, represented the Vietnamese-American Community of San Antonio. Born and raised in Vietnam, he told the story of his escape from his home country in 1977 at age 19. His boat was lost on the South China Sea until he and the other refugees were rescued by American C-130 helicopters.
“I can’t express in words how much this event means to me,” he said. “This event reminded me of how fragile freedom is without sacrifice. We can’t enjoy the life we have here without our veterans.”
After arriving in America, Pham went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in engineering from the University of Texas at Austin, as well as a master’s and a Ph.D. during his 25 years of service with the Air Force. He continued to serve after his time in the military, working in civil service.
The event ended with a 21-gun salute and a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the foot of the memorial. Lt. Gen.

Hanging Rock (formally known as Mount Diogenes), in central Victoria, Australia, is a distinctive geological formation, 718m above sea level (105m above plain level) on the plain between the two small townships of Newham and Hesket, approximately 70 km north-west of Melbourne and a few kilometres north of Mount Macedon, a former volcano. Best known as the site where a party of schoolgirls disappeared in February 1900 in the fictional story Picnic at Hanging Rock
Hanging Rock was the inspiration and setting for the novel Picnic at Hanging Rock, written by Joan Lindsay and published in 1967. The novel dealt with the disappearance of a number of schoolgirls during a visit to the site. Their disappearance was explained in the final chapter, but Lindsay deleted this chapter at the suggestion of her editor, thinking the mystery was greater without it.
The novel inspired the film Picnic at Hanging Rock, made in 1975 and directed by Peter Weir. The success of the film was responsible for a substantial increase in visits to the rock and a renewal of interest in the novel. Yvonne Rousseau wrote a book called The Murders at Hanging Rock, published in 1980, which examined possible explanations for the disappearance of the girls.
As a result of the increased interest, the deleted final chapter of the novel was finally published in 1987 as The Secret of Hanging Rock. This was in line with the authors wish to have the final chapter published after hear death.
We crossed paths on Kingston's K&P rail trail on a beautiful sunny day. She was hiking north and I was riding south on my bicycle. She paused for me to ask about her hike. Meet Sam.
She explained she was on a 4 day hike from Kingston to the town of Verona (30 km). No stranger to hiking, she said she spends many of her vacations on hiking trails and a 4 day hike is no big deal.
I asked where she overnights and she pulled out what looked like a government topographical map and explained there are spots along the trail that allow hikers to camp. (I have never noticed them.) She said she has a carefully planned itinerary and is carrying all her food, along with her camping gear, in her heavy-looking backpack. "It's only heavy because this is day 1. As I eat the food, it will get lighter and lighter."
When I asked Sam if I could make a portrait of her for my Human Family photo project, she enthusiastically agreed. "I'd be happy to, if, in exchange, you take a photo of me with my camera too. Fair enough?" The deal was struck and the photos were taken.
Sam is 35 and lives in Kingston, but explained she grew up in Canada's Maritime Provinces. When I asked what she does when she's not hiking, she didn't know where to start. "I've been a cook, done helicopter maintenance, I'm an artist, and I'm a caretaker for Belle Island, among other things." When I said, "So, you're a Sam of all trades" she replied "Pretty much."
Sam was friendly but had a serious, somewhat no-nonsense manner. Her message to the project is "People are too attached to technology and screens and not attached enough to each other and nature." She noted that her cell phone is her accommodation to the age of technology. She said she takes lots of nature photos with her phone and showed me a beautiful close-up of an owl. "That was actually taken just with this phone."
Sam was really pleased with the photos I had taken and gave me her email so I can send them. She was most appreciative of my taking a portrait on her phone.
I said I was glad we had met and she said she was too. As she disappeared down the trail, I turned back to get a photo of her en route toward Verona.
Thank you, Sam, for participating in my photo project. You are my 941st submission to The Human Family Group.
You can see more street portraits of strangers and read their stories by visiting The Human Family.

I was surprised by this phenomenon. Where the light sports appear on the mountains, the hills in the foreground stands out, so it must be due to something between the mountains and the hills.
Or...
If you look below the valleys between the mountains, you the contrast between the hills and the mountains. So possibly the contrast is the same, but you don't see it so well when it is darker.
You can also see that a dark band following around the top of the mountains also contiues with the same width bek\low the valleys.
So most probably this is an optic or electronic phenomenon caused by my camera. Maybe I should clean my lense?

Patriotic Fundraising Ribbon for Australia Day 30 July 1915.
(Foundation Day)
Supporting the troops through patriotic fundraising was also a way that those unable to fight could contribute to the war effort.
While most of us associate Australia Day with 26 January, in 1915 that date was celebrated as Foundation Day and only in New South Wales, as each of the colonies had their own commemorations for their founding. During the First World War, the concept of a national ‘Australia Day’ was instead part of a wider fundraising plan where money was raised by declaring a special ‘day’ on which events such as auctions, stalls, performances and street collections were held to encourage the community to contribute to the war effort.
The success of ‘Australia Day’ in 1915 saw a repeat of similar events the following year, this time on 28 July, and in the subsequent years of the war.
Australian people during other fundraising days saw an ‘Australia Day’ as a way of drawing on the pride of Australians in their soldiers’ recent achievements at Gallipoli. 30 July 1915 was the date agreed upon, and events were held across all of Australia. Ribbons, badges, handkerchiefs, buttons and other items were sold to raise funds, with phrases such as ‘For Australia’s Heroes’, ‘Help Our Wounded Heroes’ and ‘The Turks Struck their Match in the Australians’ which appealed to people’s sense of pride and patriotism. From a population of just under 5 million people, the day raised over 311,500 pounds in Victoria and more than 839,500 pounds in New South Wales. Today, that figure would be close to $623,000 and $1.7 million respectively.
Australia Day, celebrated on 26 January to commemorate the arrival of the First Fleet, was originally known as Foundation Day. It was not until after the Second World War that the Commonwealth and state governments agreed to rename the celebrations on 26 January as Australia Day.
Back in 1915, it was then a very generalised nominated name for any chosen date by any State to help raise funds to support our war efforts. A simple Google search on how Australia Day, as now celebrated on 26th January, came about explains all (Foundation Day became a national Australia Day, but it wasn’t back in 1915). It became nation-wide only in 1935 but an official national public holiday from 1994 – so recent!). If anything, a real “Foundation Day” would be, or should be, 1st January (from our federation in 1901). A Foundation Day is a designated date on which celebrations mark the founding of a nation. This day is for countries that came into existence without the necessity of gaining Independence, which is what we did. Prior to that we were just ‘colonies’ called states.

An Afghan instructor explains how to remove the barrel from an M9 Berretta to police recruits during a handgun safety course at the Regional Police Training Center in Mether Lam, Lagman Province, Afghanistan. The recruits learned the parts of the gun, how to take them apart and clean them and how to properly use and fire the gun. The Police recruit course takes five weeks and prepares recruits for the basic functions they will need to be familiar with to do their job. The Mether Lam RTC is scheduled to be one of the first training centers in Afghanistan to transition to be fully operational without coalition assistance.

‘It’s a work in progress.’ How Covid has changed the life insurance marketplace
▪ Individual U.S life insurance application activity increased by 3.4% in 2021, following a record-breaking year-over-year growth of 3.9% in 2020.
▪ The industry is still wrestling with mortality assumptions related to Covid-19, and how shifts may affect the life insurance underwriting process.
▪ In the meantime, consumers may see Covid questions on life insurance applications, and experts are stressing why it’s critical to answer truthfully.
As Americans brace for the third winter of the Covid-19 pandemic, many are still grappling with ongoing related health and financial issues — including insurance battles over long Covid treatments and disability claims.
But for the life insurance industry, experts say the long-term effects aren’t yet known.
“It’s a work in progress,” explained Michel Leonard, chief economist and data scientist at the Insurance Information Institute. “There’s not enough statistical data at this point.”
Faced with a staggering loss of life, insurance firms saw payouts soar during the pandemic.
U.S. life insurers paid more than $90 billion to beneficiaries in 2020, a 15.4% increase in payments compared to 2019 — the largest year-over-year jump since the 1918 influenza epidemic, according to data from the American Council of Life Insurers.
Payouts to beneficiaries increased by nearly 11% in 2021, jumping to over $100 billion, the organization’s latest report shows.
The demand for life insurance policies also jumped as consumers rushed to protect loved ones.
Individual U.S life insurance application activity increased by 3.4% in 2021, following a record-breaking year-over-year growth of 3.9% in 2020, according to the MIB Life Index’s 2021 annual report.
However, the life insurance industry is still wrestling with mortality changes and how these shifts may affect the underwriting process.
There’s still ‘uncertainty’ about mortality
Stuart Silverman, principal and consulting actuary at Milliman, an actuarial and consulting firm, said the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the life insurance industry in several ways, as outlined in a paper he co-authored in June.
Two areas of consideration are “mortality assumptions,” which are projections of death rates and the “capital requirements” needed to keep life insurance providers solvent. Both can factor into the price of policy premiums, he said.
While it’s clear mortality rates have increased since the beginning of the pandemic, experts don’t know yet how factors related to Covid like preexisting conditions, compromised mental health or delayed care may affect future assumptions, according to the paper.
“I think there is uncertainty with how this will unfold,” said Silverman, noting there’s “ongoing debate” on many of these points.
How ‘long Covid’ affects mortality assumptions
Future mortality assumptions are murky for those who may be suffering from so-called long Covid, one of the terms used to describe lingering health problems after contracting the virus.
These conditions affect an estimated 7.7 million to 23 million Americans, according to a report released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on Nov. 21.
“It’s really difficult to underwrite for something that you don’t have a clear way to diagnose and define,” said Marianne Purushotham, corporate vice president and head of Limra’s data services.
Overall, the life insurance industry is in a “major data gathering stage,” Purushotham said, collecting information on all the ways Covid may be affecting mortality, including indirect effects like opioid overdoses and suicide rates.
She said one of the “big considerations” is whether impacts will be a long-term trend, noting that companies may not want to change pricing if mortality “settles into where it was pre-Covid.”
“It’s going to take five to 10 years for us to fully understand what patterns we’re starting to see,” Silverman added.
Applications may include Covid questions
While updates to mortality assumptions may take time, experts say life insurance applications have been quicker to change, depending on state regulations.
Consumer advocate Brendan Bridgeland, policy director and staff attorney at the Center for Insurance Research, has noticed Covid questions appearing on life insurance applications since the beginning of the pandemic and expects more in the future. For example, some companies ask questions about your history of testing positive for the disease and if you have a current diagnosis.
“States are still coming to grips with it,” he said. “Companies have been quick to add application questions.
“But I don’t think they’ve been perfected yet,” Bridgeland added.
“While you may not see a vaccine question on a life insurance application yet, it’s more likely two to three years from now,” Bridgeland said. “I can see that on the horizon and I think that’s going to be inevitable,” he added.
“There are very big differences between the questions asked by life insurers right now,” Bridgeland said. “Some make a lot of sense and others are very vague and slightly concerning.”
With a lack of consistency across providers, he worries there’s potential for consumers to misread a question and answer it incorrectly.
If a provider finds inaccuracies, there’s a chance they will return your premiums rather than pay the death benefit to your loved ones, Bridgeland said.
To avoid mistakes, ask for clarification from an insurance broker or the provider, he said. “Just take your time, make sure you understand the questions and answer them truthfully,” Bridgeland said.
Regulatory guidance is pending
In January 2021, the Consumer Federation of America sent a letter to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, asking the organization to adopt a model rule for life insurance underwriters who may “delay or deny coverage” to applicants who have or have had Covid-19.
Prompted by life insurance underwriting changes in Europe, the Consumer Federation of America requested that the rules be “totally transparent” and “meet standards for reasonability” for applicants who may experience Covid-related delays or denials.
“This rule is also important for current policyholders who may be considering dropping their coverage for a period to save some money to help the family get through the economic consequences of Covid-19,” the letter said. “These policyholders need to know the possible danger of such action.”
The CFA also sent the letter to major life insurance companies, asking for them to “voluntarily make Covid underwriting rules public and reasonable.”
While the NAIC addressed the letter during their spring 2021 meeting, the organization did not have enough information to consider supporting a model rule, a spokesperson for the National Association of Insurance Commissioners told CNBC.
The Inauguration of the Bhuthabhrteshwarnath Mandir was a landmark event that took place over the course of five days and included the ancient Vedic rituals required for the inauguration of a temple. Attended by various distinguished guests, acharyas, and the Bhakti Marga family, Paramahamsa Vishwananda explained that 'Bhutabhrteshwarnath' means 'the Lord who nourishes', and that this new temple is availble for all to enjoy and experience.
