Shane Lowney - Climbing to Success

-
Rock climbing is a sport that has steadily gained popularity over the years.  At any of its numerous levels, rock climbing serves as an exhilarating and fun hobby and profession.  As with most sports, rock climbing is not without its own unique set of risks.  Shane Lowney has a specific set of tips that he followed as a newcomer to the sport – a lot of which he still regards now as a seasoned climber.  Here are a few of those tips:

  • Always make sure to wear helmets and other protective gear.  This is one of the most important factors in creating a safe and fun experience.
  • Never climb without using the buddy system.  Having a fellow climber there can serve many beneficial purposes from helping carry equipment to pointing out good spots to tie on.  Most importantly, having someone there ensures that if injured medical attention will arrive quickly.
  • Start out small.  It is important not to rush ones progress.  There are many places that offer indoor climbing walls as a safe way to practice before actually going out in nature.
  • Start out with an instructor or other experienced climber.
  • No matter what level of experience someone has, they should always make sure there is someone who knows where they are and an estimated time of when they should return.  This way, should anything happen help is more likely to be sent in a timely matter.
  • Be cautious in attempts to grab handholds and footholds.
  • Dress appropriately.
  • Perform regular inspections of equipment to ensure safety.
  • Get regular exercise and eat healthy.
  • Have fun!

Shane Lowney - Presenting Yourself on Paper

-
Showing potential employers how valuable you can be without meeting them is extremely difficult. However, the purpose of Resumes, CVs, Cover Letters, and applications is to allow employers and HR departments to get a feel for who you are before meeting you. Technically speaking, the documents mentioned above are to present your qualifications to an employer or department and show you are qualified for a job. However, it is quite common for multiple qualified people to apply for the same position. Because of job searching becoming streamlined on the Internet, it is common for some positions to get hundreds of applications. Should an employer have to interview every single qualified candidate?

Shane Lowney Still Views Remnants of Early Tampa Today

-
Unknown to residents like Shane Lowney today, Tampa, Florida in the United States suffered from periodic yellow fever epidemics which drove more and more residents away in the 1800’s, resulting in the abolition of the Tampa government in 1869.  The discovery of phosphate deposits nearby in the mid 1880’s, a mineral which is used in fertilizers, encouraged the economic fortunes of Tampa, which continues to be a major source of phosphate.  The arrival of the railroad corresponded with the founding of Ybor City by Martinez Ybor, who moved his cigar manufacture from Key West to Tampa, and the town which was all but dead suddenly boomed with new life.  Tampa was one of the largest cities in Florida by 1900, both through exports of seafood and phosphate and Ybor cigars by rail, and import of the first tourists.

Traveling and Things You Should Consider

Traveling is hard for some people and easy for others. Many people enjoy a certain amount of traveling, but it also exhausts some. As with most things, a healthy balance must exist to make traveling a worthwhile activity. Many people enjoy going on road trips over the weekend and doing little activities such as camping or hiking. Some people would prefer to go abroad and find new places far away from where they live. Here are a few things people should consider when planning a trip: What are you traveling for? Is there somewhere or someone or something you want to see? Is there an experience you are looking for in particular? Knowing exactly what you wish to get out of a trip can be helpful. Where do you want to go? Sometimes this question is difficult to answer, and people don’t have any definite idea of where they want to go. Many people hope to go to Europe, but don’t realize it would take a year or two to tour all of that land. What do you want to do there? S...
