Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of: Robert E. Howard's Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, or simply Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of, is a sword and sorcery British pen-and-paper role-playing game set in the world of Conan the Barbarian, the fictional Hyborian Age.  Both the character and the setting were first imagined by American author Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) as of 1932 and until his suicide in 1936.  Howard's original literary work has since spawned a vast franchise of novels, comic books, films, video games, board games, role-playing games, etc.  Following this tradition, "Conan: Adventures in an Age Undreamed Of" is the third officially licensed Conan role-playing game.  The two precedent games were "Conan Role-Playing Game" (1985-1988) and "" (2004-2010), although there also had been supplements for independent generic systems, like "GURPS Conan" (1988-1989).

Valeria (Conan the Barbarian): Valeria is a pirate and adventuress (a member of "The Red Brotherhood" of pirates) in the fictional universe of Robert E. Howard's Conan the Barbarian stories.

This was the last Conan story written by Howard, and published posthumously.  The name was also used for Conan's love interest in the 1982 film "Conan the Barbarian".

Optometry: Optometry is a health care profession which involves examining the eyes and applicable visual systems for defects or abnormalities as well as the medical diagnosis and management of eye disease.  Traditionally, the field of optometry began with the primary focus of correcting refractive error through the use of spectacles.  Modern day optometry, however, has evolved through time so that the education curriculum additionally includes intensive medical training in the diagnosis and management of ocular disease in countries where the profession is established and regulated.  Optometrists (also known as Doctors of Optometry in the US and Canada for those holding the O.D. degree or Ophthalmic Opticians in the UK) are medical professionals who provide primary eyecare through comprehensive eye examinations to detect and treat various visual abnormalities and eye diseases.  Being a regulated profession, an optometrist's scope of practice may differ depending on the location.  Thus, disorders or diseases detected outside the treatment scope of optometry are referred out to relevant medical professionals for proper care, more commonly to ophthalmologists who are physicians that specialize in tertiary medical and surgical care of the eye.  Optometrists typically work closely together with other eye care professionals such as ophthalmologists and opticians to deliver quality and efficient eyecare to the general public.

Legacy of Robert E. Howard: Robert E. Howard's legacy extended after his death in 1936.  Howard's most famous character, Conan the Barbarian, has a pop-culture imprint that has been compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Count Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond.  Howard's critical reputation suffered at first but over the decades works of Howard scholarship have been published.  The first professionally published example of this was L. Sprague de Camp's "Dark Valley Destiny" (1983) which was followed by other works, including Don Herron's "The Dark Barbarian" (1984) and Mark Finn's "" (2006).  Also in 2006, a charity, Robert E.

National Association for Chiropractic Medicine: The National Association for Chiropractic Medicine (NACM) was a minority chiropractic association founded in 1984 that described itself as a "consumer advocacy association of chiropractors".  It openly rejected some of the more controversial aspects of chiropractic, including a basic concept of chiropractic, vertebral subluxations as the cause of all diseases.  It also sought to "reform the chiropractic profession away from a philosophical scope of practice and towards an applied science scope of practice."  It stated that it was "dedicated to bringing the scientific based practice of chiropractic into mainstream medicine" and that its members "confine their scope of practice to scientific parameters and seek to make legitimate the utilization of professional manipulative procedures in mainstream health care delivery."  "While the NACM is focused on furthering the profession, its primary focus is on the rights and safety of the consumers."  The NACM was the object of much controversy and criticism from the rest of the profession.  It quietly dropped out of sight and its demise apparently occurred sometime between May 30, 2008 and March 6, 2010.
