A Friend Falls in Afghanistan
June 4, 2009 · by amyyeewrites	· in Afghanistan.	·
One day last November, an Afghan man chatted with my friend Paula Loyd about the price of fuel in his village, fifty miles from Kandahar. Paula, a thirty-six-year-old anthropologist who kept her long hair tucked under her field helmet, was taking notes. When she finished her conversation with Abdul Salam, thanked him, and turned to leave, the man doused Paula with a jug of gasoline and set her on fire.
After the flames that engulfed Paula were snuffed out, Salam was quickly restrained by Don Ayala, a U.S. security contractor with Paula's team. When Ayala learned that Paula was badly burned, he shot Salam in the head, killing him instantly.
Those are the bare facts. They need little adornment to convey the brutal tragedy that transpired that day in Afghanistan. But how to come to terms with what happened is a far more difficult matter.
Paula was immediately flown to a hospital in Texas. For two months, she fought for her life even as burns covered 60 percent of her body. Reports from her family told of good progress and a fierce will to live. So it was a shock when I learned that Paula died in early January.
I've thought often about this triangle of tragedy that took place in Afghanistan. Everyone knows the human cost of war is a sad and sobering thing. Then you turn the page and move on to the next newspaper headline. But when a death becomes more than a number, grief and disbelief seep deep into your marrow.
I met Paula on an autumn day during tryouts for the college crew team. She was a couple years older than me. I was a coxswain and was supposed to simultaneously boss people around and encourage them. Over the course of the year, we ran along the Charles River in Boston with the crew team, ate waffles for breakfast in the dining hall, and drove to South Carolina for spring training in a van stuffed with tall young women and a couple short ones. She wore Teva sandals and had a loping gait as she ran. I wondered if her long hair, which hung down her back in a ponytail, was ever a nuisance during our grueling runs or when she pulled her oar through the water. Paula was egalitarian, principled, and—mundane as it may sound—just really nice.
Why not write about Abdul Salam? Well, I did not know Salam, but I think if I did—if I really knew him—I would write about him and his tragedy, too. Somehow we need to understand how a person's heart could turn so dark that he would believe setting an unarmed woman on fire would be a salve to his pain and anger.
I know about the controversy surrounding Paula's role in Afghanistan. She was working with the Human Terrain Team, part of a new U.S. military program that employs social scientists to understand local conditions in Afghanistan. Some academics say anthropologists have no business working for the military and have denounced the Human Terrain Team as "mercenary anthropology."
At an academic level, maybe I would have once thought the same thing. But because I knew Paula, I can see a human picture of what she was trying to do: understand a dangerous, complex situation on the ground so that lives could be saved.
Of course Paula knew the risks of being in Afghanistan. She had worked there since 2002 when she took a break from her master's program in conflict resolution at Georgetown to go to Afghanistan with the Army Reserves and dig wells and build roads in villages.
While many of her college classmates were enjoying life in Manhattan or Boston or London, she decided to stay on in Afghanistan and take civilian jobs with the United Nations, USAID, and other agencies. At USAID, she helped deliver food and warm clothes to Afghan people struggling to survive a harsh winter in 2004.
How did Paula, a gal from Texas who grew up in the U.S. Virgin Islands, end up in Afghanistan? After graduating from college in 1995, she joined the Army, where she worked as a mechanic for four years in South Korea and at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
It was an unusual path for a graduate of Choate and Wellesley, where law school or Wall Street or a sedate Ph.D. program is the more common route. Her decision caused some head-scratching since vegetarian Paula was, believe it or not, a peaceful person. But the Army helped pay off college loans and offered its share of adventures and challenges. Paula was pretty unconventional.
The situation in Afghanistan today is undeniably dire, and the United States has made serious mistakes and miscalculations over the past eight years. A better way forward is desperately needed there. I am willing to believe that what Paula was doing might have made at least a dent in the suffering in Afghanistan. And I know that if your government decides, for better or worse, that it absolutely must wage a war, you would want someone like Paula there. She was caring, concerned, intelligent, rational, humane, and impassioned. I'm not glorifying her. Paula deserves respect.
Paula may have been a slim blonde, but she was tough too. She said Army basic training was a breeze compared to the crew team's spring training. I was hopeful she would recover at the hospital in Texas.
That hope disintegrated when I opened an e-mail from "Isabella," a close friend of Paula's in college, telling me that Paula had died. I told Isabella about the visceral reaction I had when I received the news. I happened to be in Sarnath, a Buddhist holy site in northern India, where the Dalai Lama was giving a week of teachings.
For the rest of the day, I wandered about in a stupor, vision blurred, and listened with a heavy heart as the Dalai Lama talked to 25,000 people about peace and compassion—themes that had been ground down, lifeless as dust, that day in Afghanistan.
A couple weeks after I learned that Paula had died, I called Isabella. It had been years since I had spoken to Paula and I wanted to know about her work in Afghanistan. Why did she stay on there?
"She thought it was our responsibility to rebuild that country," Isabella replied. "She hoped her new role as a social scientist would reduce casualties."
Isabella recalled Paula's genuine fondness for Afghanistan, so much so that she wanted to do a Ph.D. in Afghan Studies and was learning Pashto. "She said Afghan people were nice and polite," Isabella said. "They were regular people who loved their country. The way Paula talked about Afghanistan was not the way you hear about it in the news."
I ventured another uneasy question to Isabella. "What do you think Paula would have thought about what Salam did?" I asked. She replied without hesitation. Paula, the consummate anthropologist and empathizer, would have understood Salam's situation in a country wracked by conflict and tragedy.
And what about Don Ayala, the contractor who killed Salam?
Isabella paused. She remarked that in Harlem, where she grew up, street justice was meted out before the cops came. But then Isabella answered my question. "I don't think Paula would have wanted Abdul Salam to be killed. But she would have forgiven Don Ayala. Paula had a big heart. That's the kind of person she was."
The blur of events that unfolded that day in Afghanistan—the splash of gasoline, the flames, the pistol, the pain—conjure up a host of difficult and dark questions about foreign policy, vengeance, injustice, war, and its aftermath. I can't even begin to answer those questions here.
All I want to do is stop for a moment, even as the casualties—from Afghanistan, from Iraq, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, India, DR Congo, Sudan, and too many other places in this world—continue to roll through the news day after day, and remember a really nice girl I knew in college who was kind to people, both friends and strangers.
She worked in the college café and made honey walnut cream cheese. She majored in anthropology and Spanish and read Cervantes in the original. She had bought a house in North Carolina and was ready to head home and marry her fiancé. She still wore a retainer. She once mentioned an old flame with a Harley and quipped, "That might be fun, except it is going to mess up my hair." She island-hopped with Isabella in the Caribbean and showed her the local Burger King where, yes, you could order a beer with your Whopper.
After an Army teammate in Afghanistan snuffed out the flames that seared her body, Paula looked at her burned hands and said, "Gee, these look bad. Do you think I will be able to finish my report?"
She requested that her ashes be scattered from the deck of her mother's bed-and-breakfast in the Virgin Islands into the glittering, impermanent sea. Before she left for Afghanistan, she asked in her will for a fund be set up to send Afghan girls to Wellesley. Paula's mother is trying to go to Afghanistan to fulfill that wish.

Un sabañón o eritema pernio es una inflamación bajo la piel, acompañada de prurito y dolor, producida por el efecto repetido o prolongado del frío y la humedad.

Afecta a un reducido número de partes de cuerpo, especialmente pies, manos, dedos, nariz y orejas. Al cesar el frío, la inflamación puede curarse sin tratamiento en el plazo de tres semanas. Mientras sanan las partes afectadas, es conveniente calentarlas y, además, tratar eventualmente el prurito con algún ungüento. Afecta principalmente por el cambio repentino de temperatura de frío a calor. Para evitar los sabañones es recomendable si se tiene alguna parte del cuerpo muy fría, no rozarla ni calentarla bruscamente, es mucho mejor cuando ya se está en casa dejar que el mismo cuerpo vaya calentándose poco a poco, a veces este proceso puede durar horas.

Como medida de prevención, es necesario proteger del frío y la humedad las partes vulnerables a este mal. La nifedipina se utiliza en los casos especialmente difíciles de tratar. Realizar deportes aeróbicos, en ambientes no fríos, como correr, bicicleta en intensidad media u otros deportes ayudan a eliminarlos, puesto que el sabañón se produce por problemas circulatorios. Existen remedios naturistas a base de tabaco (Nicotiana tabacum).

Happy birthday, Madame Chiang
Taipei, Taiwan � Soong Mayling, the wife of the late Gen. Chiang Kai-shek, made a rare appearance at a party in New York celebrating her 105th birthday, Taiwanese media reported Tuesday.
Madame Chiang and Chiang Kai-shek, who once ruled China, were one of the world's most famous couples during World War II. After their Nationalist Party lost a civil war with the Communists in 1949, the Chiangs moved their government to Taiwan.
Since her husband's death in 1975, she has spent most of her time in America and rarely makes public appearances.
Living tribute to Harrison
Mayapur, India � Hare Krishnas are planning a garden in eastern India in memory of former Beatle George Harrison, a longtime devotee of Hinduism who died Nov. 29.
In one of Harrison's most popular songs, "My Sweet Lord," he chants "Hare Krishna" as he pays tribute to Hinduism's most revered god.
Can't talk his way out of trouble
Mendenhall, Miss. � Former syndicated talk show host Gary Collins is free on bond after being arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, Simpson County authorities said.
Sheriff J.C. Dillon said Tuesday that Collins was arrested Sunday morning after a deputy stopped his vehicle north of Mendenhall. He refused a DUI test.
The actor, who was the host of "Hour Magazine" in the 1980s and appeared in 2000's beauty pageant comedy "Beautiful," is married to 1959's Miss America, Mary Ann Mobley of Brandon.
Thinking in pink
New York � Brandy didn't want to wait nine months to find out whether she would have a boy or a girl.
The 23-year-old singer-actress, who's five months pregnant with her first child, is going to have a girl.
"I always wanted to know what it was, so I can get the names together, and so when I do the baby shower, we know what to have," Brandy told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "I'm planning a nursery, so now that I know that it's a female, I can plan it around the female energy and things like that."
Holding a grudge
New York � John Tesh seems like a mild-mannered musician � until you ask him what he thinks about NBC Sports commentator Bob Costas.
"I think Bob Costas needs a spanking," the former newsman told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "I have nothing nasty to say about most people, but just the unbridled drubbing that he drummed up for me, it was just unnecessary. ... I'm not a big fan."
Tesh, 49, is still bitter about comments he said Costas made about his much-panned stint as a gymnastics commentator during the 1996 Summer Olympics on NBC. "On 'The Tonight Show,' he said, 'As an Olympic commentator, John Tesh is a great piano player,'" Tesh recalled.

Library rides nostalgia wave with launch of Retro Gaming Club
Ian Stepp remembers visiting his aunt's house as a kid, where he'd play classic games like Duck Hunt and iterations of the Mario Brothers saga on the family's trusty old Nintendo Entertainment System. Now pushing 30, Stepp is still a fan of the now-classic video games that in recent years have spawned a thriving culture and industry capitalizing on the nostalgia of grownups who coveted Nintendo game systems as kids in the 1980s and 90s.

Lower Back Pain - Holistic Health Systems Ltd.
There are several different subtypes of low back pain. Below is a description of some of the most common forms of low back pain and estimates of how long they typically take to heal. These estimates are based on our experience with the great majority of patients with these conditions. While every effort has been made to give you a realistic timeframe for the conditions, we cannot predict with absolute certainty that every patient's progress will fall within the timeframes listed.
1) Acute Mild to Moderate Low Back Sprain Without Leg Pain Going Past The Knee: This sudden onset condition often follows lifting something too heavy or bending in an awkward position and suddenly "locking up". This is usually the result of a sprain of a sacroiliac or facet joint, with the surrounding muscles going into spasm. If a patient goes to a medical doctor for this condition they are usually told it is "just a pulled muscle". It is rare to injure a muscle in your back without also straining some of the ligaments which hold the spine and pelvis together.
The pain is typically in the lower back, gluteal region and/or the thigh. The pain usually does not go past the knee. The patient often has difficulty moving because their back feels "locked". The pain can be excruciating. Sometimes patients in severe pain from this condition are of the mistaken belief that such severe pain is beyond the capabilities of a chiropractic approach. Nothing could be further from the truth. Chiropractic should be the first approach tried for this type of case. By gently, moving joints back to a neutral position, the abnormal stretch of the ligaments is relieved, setting the stage for a much quicker recovery. We have specialized equipment to treat patients with debilitating pain comfortably. The key thing to remember in this kind of case is that the severity of the pain does not correspond with the severity of this condition. Despite the fact that the pain can be severe, most lower back sprains are not serious and they usually respond very well to our treatment methods in 3-6 visits over a time period of 10 to 21 days. Without chiropractic treatment, it is common for the symptoms to last 6 weeks (42 days). Furthermore, without chiropractic treatment, when the inflammation finally subsides on its own, and with it your pain, you are left with sacroiliac or facet joints that still do not move normally, setting the stage for the next episode in the future. The next episode could be in the same place or somewhere else such as your neck, upper back or even down in a knee. While most case can be out of pain within 3 weeks, it is recommended that patients continue to take it easy for another 3 to 5 weeks as ligaments require 6 to 8 weeks to fully heal.
This is the kind of case where the cost effectiveness of chiropractic really shines in comparison to other approaches. The cost of chiropractic care in this kind of case is usually a fraction of the enormous expense of being hospitalized and having x-rays and/or an MRI performed.
2) Acute Flare Up Of Chronic Intermittent Low Back Pain Without Leg Pain Going Past The Knee: This type of case is similar to an acute low back sprain with the difference being, this type of sprain occurs repeatedly, sometimes every 2 to 3 months. Like an acute low back sprain, an acute episode of chronic low back pain can usually be resolved in 3 to 6 visits over 10 to 21 days, depending on the severity of the episode. While most cases can be out of pain within 3 weeks, it is recommended that patients continue to take it easy for another 3 to 5 weeks as ligaments require 6 to 8 weeks to fully heal.
The difference in this type of case is that we will make a more concerted effort to identify any underlying biomechanical problems which may be causing the sprain to keep coming back. This often requires additional investigations such as a new set of x-rays. While it may take additional visits to identify and correct these underlying problems, in the end, you have a much better chance of breaking the cycle of repeated sprains if we take the time to further investigate your problem and develop a long term strategy for you to follow at home to minimize your need for future professional care.
3) Severe Lumbar Sprain: This type of case usually involves some form of trauma. A classic example here in Thailand would be a slip and fall on a wet slippery tile floor. As we all know, non-slip flooring is all too often, overlooked in the local landscape. This type of sprain can usually be successfully treated in our clinic. If the pain is severe at the beginning of the case co-management with a medical doctor may be necessary for medications to control the severe pain. This type of sprain is usually seen 3 times the first week, twice a week the next 2 weeks, then once a week until it is resolved. This type of case can usually be resolved in 1 to 2 months. The speed at which one recovers from this condition is usually largely dependent on how well the patient is able to keep their appointments and follow our home instructions.
An acute herniated disc can occur suddenly while performing some activity involving bending and/or lifting a heavy object, or gradually, from repeatedly lifting objects of light to moderate weight. A herniated disc typically can cause pain, numbness and/or tingling radiating down the leg, usually past the knee to the calf or foot. Based on the symptoms and simple tests performed in our office, a preliminary diagnosis of a herniated disc can be made and treatment initiated immediately. An MRI is not needed to start the treatment. If the patient fails to achieve significant improvement over 3 week of treatment, the patient is referred for an MRI.
Disc herniation's are more serious and thus more difficult to treat than sprains, nonetheless, a chiropractic approach should be tried first before seeking care from other professionals unless there are red flag symptoms of a possible Cauda Equina Syndrome (see section on medical referrals). We incorporate procedures to quickly reduce the inflammation, decompress the herniated disc and rehabilitate the weakened structures.
It is important to note that if the symptoms remain in the back or only go to the thigh, even if you have a proven herniated disc from an MRI, your pain may not actually be coming from your herniated disc (see section on chronic herniated discs below). Furthermore, less than 10% of cases of herniated discs require surgery when treated properly. In most cases, a patient's symptoms can be resolved in 4 to 12 weeks. The exact time and number of visits for this condition varies quite a bit from patient to patient, depending on the size of the herniation and other risk factors the patient may have. Most patients are treated 3 times the first week, then twice a week for 3 to 6 weeks, then once a week if necessary, for 1 to 5 weeks. Some mild herniation's can be resolved in as little as 12 visits over 1 month. If you require more visits than the average case, we will work with you to keep the cost of treatment affordable. A trial of treatment is usually begun without an MRI because in the early phase of treatment having the MRI is not going to change the way we treat you. There are other neurological tests we can do in the clinic to pinpoint where the herniation is without the MRI, and thus, commence treatment. If less than 50 % improvement is reached after 4 weeks, an MRI is usually ordered in conjunction with a consultation with neurosurgeon for a second opinion. We only consult with surgeons who prefer to use surgery as a last resort. It is important to understand that even if pain relief is achieved in less than 12 weeks, it takes a disc at least 3 months to heal. Strenuous activities must be avoided until the disc fully heals. It is of paramount importance that during the healing phase you must continue to avoid bending, lifting heavy objects or twisting excessively. You should also limit the time spent sitting during this time as well; taking breaks every 20 to 30 minutes.
Here is a list of some of the most common causes of chronic continuous lower back pain.
a) Chronic Herniated Disc: A chronic herniated disc is a disc herniation that has not improved in 3 or more months since the onset of symptoms. This often occurs when an acute herniated disc has not been properly treated in a timely manner. A classic example of this is the case where a patient has only been "treated" with pain medications and possibly acupuncture, but without any procedures performed to physically decompress the disc. Most chronic herniated discs can still be treated successfully. The time frame is usually 8 to 12 weeks. The longer a condition has been present, the longer it will take to respond to treatment. In some cases of chronic herniated disc disease, some residual symptoms may be permanent. It is common in these cases for a patient's pain level and function to dramatically improve while the numbness remains.
2) The more the symptoms radiate into the leg and foot, the more likely the herniated disc is a "symptomatic disc" and an important part of the patient's pain syndrome. When a patient complains of low back pain, or low back pain that only radiates to the buttocks or thigh, it is less likely that a herniated disc is the exclusive cause of the pain, even if an MRI indicates the presence of a herniated disc. The sacroiliac and/or facet joints are likely to be either the entire cause or part of the cause of your pain. For more details, continue reading below.
3) While pain, tingling and numbness to the leg and foot are common symptoms of a herniated disc, they are less serious than muscle weakness. Muscle weakness is usually a sign of a more serious herniation. Atrophy (shrinking) of the muscles of the calf is the result of prolonged weakness and is typically indicative of prolonged nerve root compression.
4) Having a lumbar herniated disc does not automatically exclude the possibility that you have another problem that is also contributing to, or is entirely the cause of your pain syndrome. Low back pain that radiates into the leg can also come from other causes such as Piriformis Syndrome. In this syndrome, a tight piriformis muscle in the gluteal region can also pinch the sciatic nerve, causing pain, numbness and tingling radiating to the leg and foot. Articular Dysfunction of the Sacroiliac Joints is the most common cause of Piriformis Syndrome. The locking of one or both sacroiliac joints causes the piriformis muscle to shorten. Furthermore, Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction can cause a local inflammatory response which also often refers symptoms to the thigh and groin. Articular Dysfunction of the facet joints in lower back also has a similar pain referral pattern. We have had many cases where a herniated disc was present on an MRI and we treated other abnormalities present such as articular dysfunctions and tight muscles, and the patient's symptoms have disappeared.
As you can see, the diagnosis of a lumbar herniated disc and how it should be treated are not as straightforward as some would have you believe. In most cases where a herniated disc is identified on an MRI, it would be misleading to be told by a healthcare professional that the only option is to have an immediate operation before trying conservative treatment methods such as the methods used in our clinic. Most herniated lumbar discs can be successfully treated using a combination of chiropractic, physical therapy and acupuncture. We have state of the art equipment for the conservative treatment of disc herniation's. Until you have tried chiropractic for your disc problem, you haven't exhausted all conservative approaches to your problem.
b) Simple Degenerative Disc Disease (Spondylosis): This is when one or more of the discs in the lower back has worn out, becoming thinner, causing the lumbar vertebrae to become closer together which causes the facet joints to compress and become arthritic. This condition is similar to a herniated disc in the fact that many people have evidence of a degenerated disc visible on their X-Rays with absolutely no symptoms. Like a herniated disc, it would be wrong for any healthcare professional to take X-Rays of your lower back and recommend surgery based on the x-ray findings of a degenerated disc. Most degenerated discs will never require surgery. Degenerated discs often cause stiffness and pain in the lower back. Degenerated discs are almost always preceded by Articular Dysfunction of some of the lumbar vertebrae. Most patients with degenerated discs respond well to chiropractic manipulation, physiotherapy and the muscle work we perform at the clinic. Chiropractic care improves the mobility of the vertebrae. While it is not possible to turn degenerated discs back into normal discs, most patients with this condition experience substantial relief with our care. In most cases, the treatment schedule is twice a week for the first 2 or 3 weeks, then once a week for another 4 to 6 weeks. Because the degenerative changes are irreversible, many patients with this condition choose to maintain their improved function with maintenance visits, usually once a month.
c) Degenerative Disc Disease with Spinal Stenosis: In this variant of disc degeneration, the degenerative changes actually cause the holes in the vertebrae which all the nerves pass through, to become smaller, chronically compressing the nerves. What sets this condition apart from simple disc degeneration is the presence of chronic leg pain and or weakness and or numbness. This is one of the most challenging cases for any professional treating back pain. While surgery has a pretty good track record for simple disc herniations, the results for spinal stenosis are less predictable. Surgery should only be considered after all conservative methods of treatment have been tried first. Chiropractic treatment is similar to that for a simple degenerative disc however the treatment period is longer, usually twice a week for 4 to 6 weeks, then once a week for 4 to 6 weeks. Most patients will reach maximum improvement within this time frame. If the level of improvement is insufficient within this time frame, a medical referral is made.
d) Spondylolisthesis: This is a condition in which one of the lumbar vertebrae, usually the 4th or 5th, has slipped forward in relation to the vertebrae below. This usually occurs because the vertebrae fractured sometime in the past, usually in childhood. It usually is not discovered at the time of the injury, rather, it is usually discovered at a later date, often years later. Unfortunately, this fracture never heals. If the symptoms are limited to the lower back and gluteal region, the treatment schedule is typically twice a week for the first 3 or 4 weeks, then once a week for another 4 to 6 weeks. If the symptoms go all the way down the leg, the treatment period is longer, usually twice a week for 4 to 6 weeks, then once a week for 4 to 6 weeks to reach maximum improvement. As stated above, a spondylolisthesis never heals. While most fractures in the skeleton heal, with the 2 sides of a broken bone fusing back together, a spondylolisthesis never does. The goal of chiropractic treatment for this type of case is to improve the mobility above and below the spondylolisthesis. This is accomplished by improving the mobility of the hip joints and sacroiliac joints below the spondylolisthesis as well as improving the mobility of the thoracolumbar region above the spondylolisthesis. Ensuring maximum flexibility of these surrounding regions minimizes strain on the spondylolisthesis. The supportive musculature must also be strengthened for this type of patient. Surgery is usually the last options for this type of case as the surgical procedure is quite invasive, requiring metal rods to be placed in the back in an attempt to fix the bones together in a rigid position.
e) Lumbosacral Transitional Segment AKA: Lumbarization and Sacralization: This condition results from a birth defect in which the last lumbar or sacral bone is malformed, causing an extra joint to form usually on only one side of the spine. Like a spondylolisthesis, if you have a transitional segment you will have it for life. The goal of chiropractic treatment for this type of case is to improve the mobility above and below the transitional segment as well as the transitional segment itself. This is accomplished by improving the mobility of the hip joints and sacroiliac joints below the transitional segment as well as improving the mobility of the thoracolumbar region above the transitional segment. Ensuring maximum flexibility of these surrounding regions minimizes strain on the transitional segment. the treatment schedule is typically twice a week for the first 2 or 3 weeks, then once a week for another 4 to 6 weeks.


I am looking at a trip with some colleagues to go walking in May/June and would like recommendations for accomodation to suit a group of ~6 people.
In the past we have camped (still a bit cold for some) or stayed at the Lazy Duck Hostel or Glenmore lodge Chalet in Aviemore area.
If your an Mountaineering Scotland member - have a look at their club huts directory as a lot can be booked as individual members. The Smiddy in Dundonnell would suit your group well for example as would Naismith or Ling huts.
Ceildhi place has a bunk house in Ullapool, but no kitchen facilities unfortunately.
Torridon youth hostel is to be recommended, and will normally allow you to book a dorm room for your group.
Caving hut in Elphin - also very good.
There are cabins you can rent near to Reiff (possibly via An Fuaran pub?) also which are well situated.
Unfortunately most of my trips are via climbing club (Aberdeen MC incidentally) or camping / camper vanning so not much personal experience of other bunkhouses.
Thanks Stu for the recommendations. I am a member of Mountaineering Scotland and have used various huts a few times. Unfortunately a couple of the people going wouldn't be happy and are keen on having a bit of private space.
There are a plethora of log cabins and houses that are big enough unfortunately they all have double beds instead of singles so no good for us.
I can't suggest any specific accommodation as the requirements of your group are very specific. The only thoughts are to hire a place with six bedrooms so each person can have their own and ignore that there will be some rooms with double beds. Unfortunately this is going to be expensive. Alternatively, you might be lucky and find two smaller properties close together.
There's a nice little bunkhouse in Lochearnhead. Well equipped and friendly owner. Can't remember the name, Sorry.
ah fussy buggers! I'd book somewhere you fancy then and let them sleep in their cars.
Theres the converted railway car near to glen finnan? From memory that has several 2 person rooms with single bunks. Might be enough if not all 6 folk are desperate for their own room!

Barclays India scales down exposure to banks to Rs 3,090 cr in FY21
Barclays India has slashed its exposure to banks from Rs 9,830 crore in 2018-19 (FY19) to just Rs 3,090 crore in the April-June quarter (first quarter, or Q1) of 2020-21 (FY21).
The bank's loan book reduced 33 per cent year-on-year in 2019-20 (FY20), largely led by higher repayments in the shorter tenure of the book.
Also, it did export-related financing, largely through priority sector lending certificates rather than packing credit loan in foreign currency-based loans.
The foreign bank increased its engagement with non-banking finance entities and trading segment, with growth in exposure to Rs 1,070 crore in Q1FY21, from Rs 840 crore in FY19, according to India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra).
Barclays India mainly lends to corporates with exposure largely to highly rated clients and subsidiaries/operations of multinational companies.
The majority of Barclays India's loans constitutes bill discounting (50 per cent of the loan portfolio in FY20) and short-term lending (28 per cent in FY20).
Ind-Ra affirmed Barclays India's short-term issuer rating at 'A1+'. The branch's (Barclays India) balance sheet is consolidated at the parent level. The branch's liabilities are those of the parent, with any risk of default signifying a default at the parent level.
The bank's exposure to the infrastructure sector, which has been facing headwinds, increased to Rs 4,750 billion in Q1FY21 (Rs 4,000 crore in FY19), though it is restricted to highly rated corporates, said the rating agency.
Barclays India's lending policy remains conservative. It is oriented towards global multinational corporates, focusing on shorter-tenor trade financing and the maintenance of a stable corporate book.
Its gross non-performing assets (NPAs) increased 3.52 per cent in Q1FY21 (FY20: 3.19 per cent; FY19: 1.89 per cent), mainly due to 33 per cent reduction in the FY20 loan book. However, the bank made 100 per cent provisioning, leading to nil net NPAs in Q1FY21 (FY20: nil; FY19: 0.35 per cent).
Barclays India's tier 1 ratio, part of capital adequacy, stood at 14.6 per cent as of Q1FY21 (FY20: 14.87 per cent; FY19: 15.59 per cent). It provides the required capital buffers against unexpected credit losses from stressed sectors, if and when losses materialise.

Ramona gave birth to Modesta Martinez on her way to Kansas, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on February 24, 1919. Grandma Modesta was raised on a farm in Lawrence, Kansas. Her mother worked in agricultural farms, and her father worked on the rail road.
During her childhood she often went with her mother to pick in the potato fields and if she was not in the fields she was looking after her siblings. Grandma talked about great grandma Ramona gathering bushels of dried corn to grind up to make fresh tortillas for their family. She described her bedroom as one room that everyone shared, and the bathroom was outside the house. When they lived on the farm they had chickens, and at one time they even had a goat, there was no television no phones. She remembered that she would wash their clothes by hand, and auntie Bessie would iron the clothes.
When Modesta was nine years old her father passed away from pneumonia and within that same year her infant sister Conception also died. Grandma Modesta helped her mother and siblings pack as they moved to Colorado. When they first arrived in Colorado she remembered working on the farms picking beets, potatoes, tomatoes, pickles, peas and onions. She said she would work long hours from early to late, because no one would give her brother Dee a job. She said she worked "real cheap". Great Grandma Ramona was able to find a job in Denver cleaning houses. Great Grandma Ramona sent grandma Modesta and her siblings to Gilpin Elementary. Grandma Modesta was only able to attend school up until the seventh grade. She left school to work with her mother cleaning houses, so she could financially help support her family.
When asked about her youth grandma said there was "no time to play, work work all the time" she would say "I used to work like a man, had to get up early, I went through a lot". Many years later, she met our Grandfather Maxmilian Lopez. They met in Denver, but Grandpa was originally from Mexico but had moved to Elgin, Illinois. They married on December 17, 1938, at Sacred Heart Church downstairs in the chapel in Denver, Colorado. She said that Jessie Santoya and his wife attended their small wedding. Soon thereafter Grandpa Max took Grandma Modesta to Chicago, Illinois where she gave birth to their first son Augustine Lopez. Later they moved to Kansas where Grandpa Max was employed at (AT&SF) Atchison, Topeka and the Santa Fe Railway. She once told me that Grandpa Max liked to dance.
As a family they moved to Denver, Colorado and with the help of Great Grandma Ramona, they purchased the lot where Grandpa Max built their home at 3101 Lawrence Street Denver, Colorado. In this home they had five additional children which they raised in the east-side of Denver. Grandpa Max later passed away on November 17, 1974. On September 13, 1987, Great Grandma Ramona passed away.
Her children gave her grandchildren, and her grandchildren gave her great-grandchildren, and her great-grandchildren gave her great-great grandchildren. Her family was her pride and joy and having them surround her when she passed was an amazing tribute to her dedication and love that she shared with everyone.
Modesta is survived by her children: Augustine Sr. (Orlinda ) Dolly, Gloria (Bill Armijo ), Lucy (Burnie ), Mary (Victor Gutierrez), Jerry (Loretta ), Marcus (Julia), and Maria Pina-Lopez (Ismael).

The Italian Wilier Triestina-Selle Italia team will be known as Neri Sottoli-Selle Italia-KTM in 2019, with Giovanni Visconti and Dayer Quintana leading a roster of 17 riders.

The Italian Professional Continental team secured a licence from the UCI for the 2019 season but had still to reveal their title sponsors. They did so via the pages of La Gazzetta dello Sport, which listed the rosters of the four Italian Professional teams (Androni Giocattoli, Bardiani-CSF, Nippo-Vini Fantini-Faizanè and Neri Sottoli-Selle Italia-KTM).
The Italian sports newspaper's parent company organises the Giro d'Italia but warned about the dire consequences the Italian Professional Continental teams face in 2020, when only two, rather than four, wild card invitations to the Giro d'Italia will be awarded. The other two places will go to the best-ranked Professional Continental teams, but the Italians are struggling to secure the sponsorship, riders and points needed to take on their bigger French rivals such as Cofidis, Direct Energie and Arkéa Samsic.
Italy no longer has a WorldTour team and while it still has 51 riders in the WorldTour peloton, it has been overtaken as the biggest nation by Belgium that has 52 riders.
La Gazzetta dello Sport highlighted that while the four Professional Continental teams won 74 races in 2018, none were at WorldTour level and only six were in Italy. The vast number came in minor races in Asia, where the teams are paid to race. The Italian teams secured just one WorldTour wild card place, with Nippo-Vini Fantini invited to the Amstel Gold Race to celebrate the retirement of former winner Damiano Cunego.
A 17-rider roster for Neri Sottoli-Selle Italia-KTM
Neri Sottoli-Selle Italia-KTM have still to unveil their jersey design but are due to make their season debut at the Vuelta a San Juan in Argentina.
Visconti returns to work with directeur sportif Luca Scinto after a long career at WorldTour level. The 35-year-old Sicilian has won 30 races, and Neri Sottoli-Selle Italia-KTM hope his and Dayer Quintana's presence will earn the team a wild card invitation to this year's Giro d'Italia.
Also in the team's roster are 2018 riders Liam Bertazzo, Simone Bevilacqua, Giuseppe Fonzi, Luca Pacioni, Luca Raggio, Massimo Rosa, Sebastian Schonberger, Simone Velasco and Edoardo Zardini, plus Dutchman Etienne Van Empel, who rode for Team Roompot, Francesco Manuel Bongiorno, who is making his comeback after a year of retirement, and four neo-pros: Lorenzo Fortunato, Davide Gabburo, Moreno Marchetti and Umberto Marengo.
Filippo Pozzato confirmed his retirement late in December, while sprinter Jakub Mareczko has joined CCC Team.


where W is power (watts), P is pressure (N/m2), and Q is flow (m3/sec).
where V is voltage (N•m/coulomb) and I is current (coulomb/sec).
Any time a hydraulic flow undergoes a drop in pressure, or any time a current undergoes a drop in voltage, energy converts to heat because of a path restriction. If energy is not producing force or torque and speed, then it is inefficient, causing self-heating in the circuit. In electrical circuits, the heat energy is generated in, and imparted to, the element that contains the friction.
In hydraulic circuits, heat energy is caused by the shearing of the fluid as it squeezes through small passages. The fluid then transports the heat to other parts of the circuit. Whether electric or hydraulic, self-heating can cause damage if it is not transferred out of the circuit. Heat exchangers are the method of choice for either system.
A common description applied to heat generation is that it is a consequence of the losses in the system. If all components were 100% efficient, self-heating would not be a problem.
1. The water-cooled heat exchanger has two isolated conductor volumes with flows arranged so that the warmest oil is conducting heat into the warmest water.
In hydraulic machinery, temperatures that are too low will cause oil-based fluids to become so viscous whereby the pump cannot move the fluid. All of the pump's work will be directed toward shearing the fluid, resulting in highly localized hot spots that create their own set of problems, especially if there is insufficient fluid throughput to replace the heated oil with cold oil. Self-destruction of the pump can occur.
If the fluid is water-based, the obvious result is that the fluid will freeze. Water-based fluids are viable in indoor applications, but cannot be used for mobile machinery in freezing environments.
To alleviate low-temperature problems with oil-based fluids, heaters are occasionally installed to sustain temperature during shutdown periods. In extreme arctic conditions, diesel engines may be kept running 24/7 with some hydraulic fluid circulating at all times.
Clearly, very low temperatures are a problem with hydraulic equipment; therefore, self-heating effects can be put to use to protect against cold. However, the problem is that the self-heating process is going on the entire time the machine is running, and excessively high temperatures are a continuing problem in both systems.
Hydraulic systems, like electric systems, will recover from extreme cold, provided that mechanical power is not applied to the pump input shaft. That is, permanent damage is not the result of the excessively low temperature alone; rather, it is the combination of cold and trying to get the pump to turn over mechanically.
As already stated, friction is the cause of all heating in all functioning systems. Mechanical types of friction are caused by the relative motions of moving parts, plus the friction that causes shearing of the fluid as it is forced through small clearances.
Resistance is a kind of electrical friction. It is measured and quantified in ohms, the MKS unit of electrical resistance. Current through resistances causes self-heating effects. All electrical elements have some resistance. Resistance is as unavoidable in electric circuits as friction is in hydraulic circuits. Hydraulic resistances have no quantifying unit of measure, a fact that is holding back the development of useful circuit-analysis theorems and methods.
Resistances arise in hydraulic circuits in only a handful of ways, but they are well known. The first involves the leakage paths that result from inter-part clearances inside pumps and motors, and to some extent, in valves. The clearances are necessary to allow for relative motion and to lubricate those mating surfaces. The lower the resistances, the greater the leakage flow and the more heating of the fluid at a given pressure drop.
Valve control is notoriously inefficient. It is referred to as the "energy loss method of control." That is, the pump generates more power than is required by the load, and the operator changes the amount of opening of the valve (it is a variable resistance) to absorb the excess power and deliver just the right amount to the load.
There are series restrictions to fluid flow in all circuit elements, including the plumbing, flow-distribution manifolds, and valve subplates. Each restriction results in the fluid undergoing a drop in pressure and a subsequent rise in temperature. Every turn and elbow in the flow path contributes to the pressure drops.
2 To improve cooling, air-to-oil heat exchangers often incorporate a fan to increase air flow.Ridding the system of the heat is the work of the heat exchanger. In hydraulics, there are two basic types: Water-over-oil, as shown in simplified schematic in Fig. 1, and air-to-oil depicted in Fig. 2.
Water-to-oil heat exchangers are viable and often used in in-plant, stationary applications, because there is usually some source of cooling water. It consists of an outer shell that carries the cooling water, and an inner tube that carries the hydraulic fluid to be cooled.
Of interest is the fact that the two internal fluid flows are opposite to one another. The oil moves from right to left in the figure while the water moves from left to right. This method puts the warmest water in proximity to the warmest oil and vice versa. It assures that there is always a temperature gradient between the two flowing media.
Air-to-oil heat exchangers are vital to mobile equipment because they use the ambient air as the means for carrying the heat from the hydraulic circuit. Just a quick glance at the heat exchanger in Fig. 2 shows its similarity to an automobile's radiator. They use exactly the same technology, including a fan to stimulate adequate air flow through the radiator cooling coils. Thin vertical tubes carry the hydraulic fluid. Very thin horizontal fins are attached to the tubes, providing heat-radiating area—a good friend of effective heat transfer.
Heat exchangers used for electric circuits are called heat sinks. Heat sinks need to be applied to the component that has the resistance, because electrical heat energy is imparted to that component. In contrast to hydraulic circuits, and as stated earlier, hydraulic heat energy is imparted to the fluid and can be carried to other parts of the circuit for removal. Electrical heat has to be carried away at the point of generation.
3 A basic heat sink has a base for contacting the heated circuit component and a multiplicity of fins for maximizing radiation area.
A heat sink, depicted in simplified form in Fig. 3, consists of a solid base, usually made of aluminum because of its heat-conducting characteristics, plus a number of fins in a variety of shapes. The heat sink in the figure can be found attached to the central processor unit in your computer.
The heat sink's underside is flat and smooth, and attaches to the smooth and flat top of a processor chip with heat-conducting adhesive. Due to the very high clock speeds and extremely high transistor density of modern processor chips, self-heating becomes severe to the point where a fan must be mounted on top of the heat sink to increase air flow over the fins.
Just as conduit paths (plumbing, subplates, and manifolds) in hydraulic circuits have unavoidable restrictions and tortuosity, so do electrical circuits. Copper is the wire material of choice, but silver and gold may be called for when the lowest possible conductor resistance is required. No matter the conductor material, conductivity is not perfect, so resistance becomes inevitable.
Power loss and self-heating are equally inevitable, but it is a matter of degree relative to each individual component. The current through a light-emitting diode may not heat up enough to require heat-removing equipment, but it may be the case for an electric motor or the voltage regulator in a computer's power supply.
Like electric motors, solenoids are made of wound coils of wire wrapped around some iron core material. Laminated cores reduce the internal heating effects from core losses. Both the wire resistance—often referred to as copper losses in the jargon—and the core losses contribute to self-heating.
Electric motors, whether ac or dc, have self-heating and many implement built-in cooling features. One method is to cast cooling fins into a motor's external housing. Other motors have a small fan attached to the rotor with end openings to allow for constant flushing of air through the innards of the machine.
Electric and hydraulic systems can operate at temperatures above the threshold of human pain. Both can operate reliably and continuously at temperatures that are downright dangerous to man and beast and require respect and protective design practices. Because hydraulic self-heating is imparted to the circulating fluid, the entire circuit is at elevated temperature at nearly every point and element.
Electric circuits confine self-heating to certain circuit components. An ac solenoid may cause burns if touched, but the driver amplifier controlling it may be at or near room temperature. However, caution is the byword when working with all power-conversion equipment. It may be hot.
