A recovery crew hazarded a mission into one of the most rugged sections of the Río Grande Gorge near Taos early Sunday morning (Nov. 3) to retrieve the body of Chris Oswalt, a 62-year-old Columbus, Mississipi man who died after attempting to kayak the Taos Box late last month.
A recovery crew hazarded a mission into one of the most rugged sections of the Río Grande Gorge near Taos early Sunday morning (Nov. 3) to retrieve the body of Chris Oswalt, a 62-year-old Columbus, Mississipi man who died after attempting to kayak the Taos Box late last month.
"He lived his life to have fun in the outdoors," said Oswalt's friend and hunting partner, Alan Hall, who added that Oswalt was raised on the Tom Bigsbee River in Columbus. "He came out to New Mexico every year. He would make it his annual trip. Sometimes he would stay a month, and sometimes he would stay up to three months."
Though he knew his friend to be adventurous, Hall said he was shocked to learn that Oswalt's body had been found in the gorge west of Taos late last month near the Taos Box, a set of Class IV rapids respected by even the most experienced river guides in New Mexico.
"Him being by himself? That didn't surprise me," Hall said. "He loved to kayak, but he'd done it alone a lot. I think the deal of it is that he just didn't know what he was getting into."
That's also what John Nettles, a member of Taos Search and Rescue, suspected when he came across Oswalt's frozen remains while kayaking Oct. 27 several-hundred feet below the steep – and in many places sheer – slopes of the canyon.
While the New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator has yet to determine Oswalt's official cause of death, Nettles said it appeared the man had fallen from a cheap kayak and later died of a fall while attempting to climb out of the canyon.
Nettles said Oswalt was wearing only a flannel shirt, blue jeans and leather cowboy boots when he died. Photos on Oswalt's Facebook page, however, show the 62-year-old standing next to a kayak wearing a wetsuit.
Following a week of planning, Nettles and two other members of Taos Search and Rescue set out downriver in two boats around 8 a.m. Sunday morning from John Dunn Bridge, the same location where they suspect Oswalt began his ill-fated trip.
Water levels flowed at just 300 cubic feet per second when Oswalt's body was found, but that rate had dropped even lower by the time the water team started out on Sunday, leaving exposed rocks in the team's path and lengthening the time to complete the trip.
As the boats started downstream, Taos County Undersheriff Steve Miera, Taos Search and Rescue President Delinda VanneBrightyn and 10 other crew members hiked around a spiral-shaped rock shelf at the west rim several miles to the south.
From there, they descended a precipitous 400-foot field of scree that leads to the river. On the way down, VanneBrightyn slipped on the loose ground and slid into a boulder, injuring her knee. While a radio crew at the rim briefly discussed lifting her out with a helicopter or sending her downstream on one of the boats, VanneBrightyn opted to continue on in spite of an injury that worsened throughout the day.
Once at the river, the ground crew hiked about a half-mile downstream to where Oswalt's body lay on the opposite bank near a steep cliff. Part of the team scaled the rocks to take photos of the body while VanneBrightyn and other responders forded the river in an inflatable raft to begin packaging the remains into a body bag.
The ground team helped load the body into one of the rafts, which then navigated the remainder of whitewater in the Taos Box and reached the Taos Junction Bridge by around 4:30 p.m., VanneBrightyn estimated.
She and Miera both agreed that the recovery was one of the most dangerous they have done yet in a region filled with wilderness areas where people get lost, injured or killed every year.
"It was a very intense rescue," VanneBrightyn said. "I think that we're all grateful that everyone made it back safely because of the dangers both on the steep slopes and the river."
She said her team will likely only make the same descent again in the case of a rescue mission, where a life is at risk and time is a more significant factor.
"Anything could happen easily on that descent, where a person could get in real trouble," she said. "Quite frankly, that's why we had a subject there to bring out, because people don't realize the severity and the dangers of the gorge," she added. "And I think that they take it much too lightly and therefore people perish, sadly."

We know breakfast seems to get all the accolades, but for more than a few students in Greeley-Evans School District 6, lunch may be the most important meal of the day.
Two-thirds of all students in the district qualify for free or reduced lunches, a clear sign of poverty, and so it's possible that lunch may be the best meal they get. It's hot and nutritious, and they may not get that at home every night.
That's why we approve of the district's policy to allow kids to eat lunch even if they have a small negative balance on their lunch account.
The district could stamp the kids' arms or throw away their food in front of their friends, but we prefer the lighter approach, a little smiley face.
We know that this costs the district thousands a year in unpaid balances, and we would prefer it, of course, if parents would pay off their lunch tabs, even if they're on free or reduced lunches. We also know there are a few parents who work up a balance but refuse, out of pride, to apply for free or reduced lunches. That's inexcusable.
But we also know we want students to feel safe in school, and that means being fed, in addition to having respectful teachers, administrators and students who don't bully each other.
We wish all parents could pay off their lunch tabs. We know they can't in our district. We're glad no child goes hungry.

Birmingham, aka "The Birthplace of Heavy Metal" has proposed a project to honor their sons, Black Sabbath.
Black Sabbath may soon be "turned to steel in the great magnetic field" in the city that is "The Birthplace of Heavy Metal", Birmingham.
According to Birmingham Mail, the city is planning to pay tribute to their most famous musical sons by naming a bridge after the band and immortalizing them with a stainless steel bench upon the span.
The bench would feature images of the Black Sabbath original lineup, including drummer Bill Ward, with the words "Geezer. Ozzy. Tony. Bill. Made in Birmingham 1968." forever etched upon it.
The site in question is situated on Broad Street, a lane that boasts the city's Walk of Stars, a Hollywood Walk of Fame-style tribute to famous people that have emerged from The Birthplace of Heavy Metal.
As Ozzy, Geezer, and Tony already have stars on Broad Street, the city council will cap off their tribute to the band by awarding one to Ward and another to the entire band.
Those stars will be set in front of the soon-to-be crafted steel bench in, naturally, the shape of a cross.
This project would be spearheaded by Mohammed Osama, an architect living in Dubai, and who also happens to be a huge Black Sabbath fan.
Mohammed says he hopes that this tribute can bring all four original members of the group together one last time.
"I mean just reunite them at their home town," he told Birmingham Live, "no gigs or anything. Just the four of them being celebrated together at their home town would be the best ending and closure I could possibly think of."
The proposed plan of course needs final approval by the city council…
And it appears that Iommi himself is a fan of the plan, tweeting about the project.

I am in Karlsruhe in Germany for a meeting of the ETICA project (www.etica-project.eu) on whose advisory board I sit. One of the documents they have produced is a fascinating if scary analysis of discussions in the academic literature about the ethical issues associated with a range of 'emerging' technologies (including affective computing, bio-electronics, robotics etc.).
It is interesting to see the extent to which the academic concerns echo those of popular science fiction – out-of-control robots on the rampage, cyborgs, the division of humanity into an enhanced super-race and an underclass of serfs …. But generally I was struck by how individualistic the values are. Lots of concern about loss of personal autonomy and invasion of privacy but barely a mention of collective issues such as impacts on solidaristic or communitarian ties or social institutions like the family.
But of course individual and collective rights are interlinked in complex and often contradictory ways. There's a striking example of this in an article by Brett Caraway in the forthcoming issue of Work Organisation Labour and Globalisation. It's a study of oDesk, an online marketplace for labour that has some resemblance to the hiring fairs they used to have in rural Britain before the industrial revolution. Freelance programmers, editors, translators and other members of the cybertariat from all over the world bid against each other for work which, once won, has to be carried out using proprietary oDesk software entailing the most invasive surveillance I have ever come across.

2018 Airway Article of the Year Announced
Airway Management Education Center, the creators of The Difficult Airway Course™, hosted the seventh annual "Airway Article of the Year" award show as a live webinar on January 10, 2019. Webinar host, Calvin Brown III, MD presented four articles as finalists. The nominees were selected from among all the articles covered during the Airway Management Research Update webinars held in 2018. The content and merits of each article were presented and the winner was chosen by a vote of the on-line audience during the show. The recorded show is available at www.airwayworld.com/webinars and as a podcast on iTunes.
The 2018 Nominees
The nominees for this honor were:
• Siddiqui, N et al. Ultrasound is Superior to Palpation in Identifying the Cricothyroid Membrane in Subjects with Poorly Defined Neck Landmarks. Anesthesiology. 2018 Dec;129(6):1132-1139.
• Jarvis, J et al. Implementation of a Clinical Bundle to Reduce Out-of-Hospital Peri-Intubation Hypoxia. Ann Emerg Med 2018 Sep;72(3):272-279.e1.
• Driver, B et al. Effect of Use of a Bougie vs Endotracheal Tube and Stylet on First-Attempt Intubation Success Among Patients with Difficult Airways Undergoing Emergency Intubation: A Randomized Clinical Trial. JAMA. 2018;319(21):2179-2189.
• April, M et al. Emergency Department Intubation Success with Succinylcholine Versus Rocuronium: A National Emergency Airway Registry Study. Ann Emerg Med. 2018 Dec;72(6):645-653.
The 2018 Winner
The winner of the "Airway Article of the Year" is Effect of Use of a Bougie vs Endotracheal Tube and Stylet on First-Attempt Intubation Success Among Patients with Difficult Airways Undergoing Emergency Intubation: A Randomized Clinical Trial by Brian Driver MD, Matthew Prekker MD, Lauren Klein MD, Robert Reardon MD, James Miner MD, Erik Fagerstrom BA, Mitchell Cleghorn BS, John McGill MD and Jon Cole MD.
In Driver's study, researchers studied the difference in first-attempt success rate in emergency department intubations when using a bougie vs using an endotracheal tube and stylet. The randomized trial included 757 adult patients admitted to the emergency department at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. These patients were intubated using a Macintosh laryngoscope blade and randomly assigned to undergo intubation using a bougie or endotracheal tube and stylet.
The study concluded that using a bougie along with a CMAC video laryngoscope resulted in significantly higher first-attempt intubation success. Patients saw a higher first-attempt intubation success rate when the bougie was used, with the greatest increase seen in those patients with a minimum of 1 difficult airway characteristic (96%) versus the endotracheal tube and stylet group (82%).
According to Dr. Brown, "I felt going into the awards show this was a strong candidate for Article of the Year. If you base your practice on the evidence, randomized controlled trials are the gold standard – and very hard to complete in emergency medicine, especially studying a procedure which, by nature, is being performed on compromised patients. Not only were the results robust but the community consent process was remarkable." "This study could be practice changing," Dr. Brown continued "since most emergency physicians do not use a bougie routinely on the first attempt."
The audience agreed, and for the second year in a row selected Dr. Driver for this honor. Congratulations to Dr. Driver and his team!
The "Airway Article of the Year" award show and Quarterly Airway Management Research Update webinars can be viewed on Airway World at www.airwayworld.com/webinars. Both are also available as podcasts on Airway World or in the iTunes Store (Airway World Podcasts).

Meadowdale High School's Matthew Johnson and Lynnwood's Abby Douglas were chosen as the top scholarship recipients during the 17th annual Scholar-Athlete and Coach/Community Recognition Banquet Wednesday night at Edmonds-Woodway High School. The event honored 17 of the Edmonds School District's top scholar-athletes, as well as coaches and community members from the district's four high schools that have interscholastic sports programs.
Johnson was awarded $3,500, while Douglas received a $3,000 award.
Johnson, who participated in football, basketball and track and field in his time as a Maverick, was captain for the football team and track and field during his senior year. He also excels in music, having played bass in the orchestra and also served as an ASB Senator for two years. Completing over 100 hours of community service, highlighted by volunteer work at area homeless shelters, Johnsone will graduate with a 3.8 GPA. He will attend Chapman University in Orange County, Calif., where he will study business communications with an emphasis in marketing.
Johnson was "described by his coaches as a caring young man who sees the impact his actions can have on someone else's life," said the evening's master of ceremonies, Steve Willits.
Douglas earned nine varsity letters in her four years as a Lynnwood Royal, where she was a member of the volleyball, basketball and golf teams. She served as captain her senior year for volleyball and basketball, and all four years on the golf team. She made four trips to the state Ttournament as a member of the Lady Royals basketball team that brought home a trophy every year, including a state championship in 2015, and qualified for state her junior year in golf. In addition to athletics, Douglas is a member of Junior Achievement and DECA, compiled many hours of community service highlighted by her volunteer work with the American Cancer Society, all while managing a challenging AP class schedule. She will graduate with a 4.0 GPA and head to Spokane in the fall to attend Whitworth College, where she will double major in accounting and business and participate on their women's golf team.
"Whether it be First Team All-Wesco honors, Athlete of the Month, or 12th grade Student of the Month for the District, she has earned them all with her dedication and self-discipline," Willits said.
All 17 scholar-athletes in attendance not only had significant accomplishments in their particular arena of competition, but were also tremendous students in the classroom as well as active community members with significant contributions through volunteer services. The event also highlighted one coach and one community member from each of the four schools.
The evening marked a milestone for this event. Now in it's 17th year, the total amount of scholarship money that has been awarded eclipsed $500,000, distributed to more than 300 scholar-athletes.
Also awarded Wednesday night was the 2018 Athletic Director Award, which was announced and presented by District Athletic Director Julie Stroncek. The award went to Geoff Bennett. Bennett has served as the Assistant Principal at Edmonds-Woodway High School since 1998 and prior to that he was a teacher and coach at Everett High School for 23 years. A graduate of Edmonds High School, Geoff was recognized for his dedication to making sure students were involved in activities, be that an organized sports team, intramural basketball or soccer, or a ping pong club, often giving up hours of his own time, before school, at lunch and after school, contributing to the success and student life of thousands of high school students.

You have to pick one car from each friend. I'll go first (note - pics are off the interwebz, and sadly, not the original pictures of the original cars).
1. Friend # 1, Car #1
1967 Pontiac GTO convertible, blue. 400ci 4bb with 360HP & 438lbs. You have to understand we were 18 in 1986 and my friend had come into some money. This is not a good thing for car-crazy 18 year olds. It's a miracle we made it 19. Jesus we flogged this car. Much speeding. Many burnouts.
2. Friend #2, Car #2 -
1972 Mustang Mach 1. I don't think they let cars like this on the road any more. It had no mufflers and sounded like NASCAR every time you started it up (which holds a certain charm for young men). It was rusty everywhere. Various things would work, then stop working, then work again. It set up to drag race before my friend bought it, and it the PO had put in some ridiculous gear set in it, 4:55's or 5:10's, or something else stupid. It was a stupid, stupid, car. I loved it. My friend got many tickets in that crusty beast.
3. Friend #3, Car #3 -
1986 Nissan 300ZX turbo, red. T-tops. The Z was a crazy car. Red exterior, red interior, red, red, red! The gauges were digital, and the whole thing felt like piloting a fighter ship out of a science fiction movie. The girls liked it too! A few tickets were also garnered in this magnificent steed. I think the shifter was red, the carpet, the headliner, everything. Was. Red.

"Age is something that doesn't matter, unless you are a cheese"
~ Luis Buñuel
Have a last minute potluck and no idea of what to bring?
Friends coming over unexpected and you haven't done your groceries?
Want to make a midnight homemade pizza and suddenly realize the cheese is gone?
What about eating healthy and knowing what's in your cheese?
Well…now you can make a variety of cheeses, at home, with just milk, vinegar or lemon!
There are many ways to make cheese…when I started years ago, my concern was time and the need for all those strange names: rennet, citric acid, cultures…not only they were nowhere to find (now you can buy them from Homesteaders' Junction if you live around Vancouver, or from Cultures for Health if you are in the US, but a few years ago these were rare things to be looking for), they were also expensive and difficult to ship: cultures usually require some refrigeration…
I have been making my own feta cheese (with culture) for a while now (I make it every other week as that's the favourite at home), and cultures are great to create that specific taste you are looking for (the taste that differentiates a Parmesan from Feta, Mozzarella or Asiago, for example), but those delicious cheeses require time and specific cultures (as mentioned before) and you may end up investing much more money than what you would if you just buy them from the store.
My other concern was sustainability and resilience: if I want to make cheese and can't buy cultures, rennet and so on, how do I do it? In ancient times, people didn't have Amazon, or a home delivery mail system. But they did have cows and goats around…
Thankfully, getting the milk is not that difficult (any milk would do, except the ultra-pasteurized as everything living has been killed there)…so I started to ask around, experiment and…remembering!
My mom and grandma used to make ricotta and "queso fresco" (fresh cheese) at home without any of those strange things: they used milk that was going to go bad and lemon. Some of my Indian friends would also make paneer (an Indian cheese) the same way!
With time and playing with all types of milks, acidic stuff (from lemons to all types of vinegars), salt, herbs plus different amounts of time and heat and different proportions of one or other of those same things, I created a few different cheeses.
And then one day, my partner came with a book I could have written myself! "One Hour Cheese" by Claudia Lucero, founder of "Urban Cheese Craft": a compendium of many of the cheeses I was already making (and mom and grandma and the Indians), plus some other great ideas!
This coming Saturday, I'll be facilitating a workshop to learn how to make your own "easy cheese" at home (and it's already sold out!) but don't worry: I'll be facilitating another one in South Surrey Food Bank on July 9 (2016) at 10 AM…(see details at the bottom of this post)
Here a small treat for you to try:

The Scriptures
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.
There is one and only one living and true God. …The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.
God the Father
God as Father reigns with providential care over His universe, His creatures, and the flow of the stream of human history according to the purposes of His grace. …God is Father in truth to those who become children of God through faith in Jesus Christ.
God the Son
Christ is the eternal Son of God. In His incarnation as Jesus Christ, He was conceived of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. …He honored the divine law by His personal obedience, and in His substitutionary death on the cross, He made provision for the redemption of men from sin.
God the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, fully divine. …He exalts Christ. He convicts men of sin, of righteousness and of judgment. …He enlightens and empowers the believer and the church in worship, evangelism, and service.
Man is the special creation of God, in His own image. He created them male and female as the crowning work of His creation. …By his free choice man sinned against God and brought sin into the human race. … The sacredness of human personality is evident in that God created man in His own image, and in that Christ died for man; therefore every person of every race possesses dignity and is worthy of respect and Christian love.
Salvation involves the redemption of the whole man, and is offered freely to all who accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, who by His own blood obtained eternal redemption for the believer. In its broadest sense salvation includes regeneration, justification, sanctification, and glorification.
Heaven and Hell
Heaven is the throne of God and a place where God dwells eternally (Matt. 5:34, 6:9). It is also the place where all saints will live with the Triune God forever. Hell is a torment place for Satan and his angels, and all people who did not believe and receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior (John 3:18; Matt. 25:46).
God's Purpose of Grace
Election is the gracious purpose of God, according to which He regenerates, justifies, sanctifies, and glorifies sinners. All true believers endure to the end. Those whom God has accepted in Christ, and sanctified by His Spirit will never fall away from the state of grace, but shall persevere to the end.
The Church
A New Testament church of the Lord Jesus Christ is an autonomous local congregation of baptized believers, associated by covenant in the faith and fellowship of the gospel, observing the two ordinances of Christ, governed by His laws, exercising the gifts, rights, and privileges invested in them by His Word, and seeking to extend the gospel to the ends of the earth. Each congregation operates under the Lordship of Christ through democratic processes. In such a congregation each member is responsible and accountable to Christ as Lord. Its scriptural officers are pastors and deacons. While both men and women are gifted for service in the church, the office of pastor is limited to men as qualified by Scripture.
Baptism & the Lord's Supper
Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water. It is an act of obedience symbolizing the believer's faith in a crucified, buried, and risen Saviour, the believer's death to sin, the burial of the old life, and the resurrection to walk in newness of life in Christ Jesus (Romans 6:1-14). The Lord's Supper is as the Lord Jesus said in Matt. 26:26-28; Luke 22:19-20; and 1 Corinthians 11:24-26.
Evangelism & Missions
It is the duty and privilege of every follower of Christ and every church of the Lord Jesus Christ to endeavor to make disciples of all nations... to seek constantly to win the lost to Christ by verbal witness undergirded by a Christian lifestyle, and by other methods in harmony with the gospel of Christ.
The Lord's Day
The first day of the week is the Lord's Day. …It commemorates the resurrection of Christ from the dead and should be employed in exercises of worship and spiritual devotion.
We love God with all our hearts, minds, strength, and souls and place Him first in every aspect of our lives.
God wants all people to know and love him; so all people are always welcome here.
Our church is a refuge for sinners, where forgiveness, love, and trust are shared with one another through our Lord Jesus Christ, the giver of forgiveness.
We use our gifts to serve others and to provide ways for our worshipers to grow spiritually.
We are a mission station, an outpost of Christian community. As such we embrace change that will lead to spiritual growth, that will meet the needs of our community, and that embraces a contextually relevant worship style.
We strive to bring wholeness by acts of kindness and the proclamation of the Gospel to lives that are fractured and broken.

An envoy's thoughts as he prepares to leave Hong Kong
Departing Irish envoy Peter Ryan praises Hong Kong for its investment environment, but says the territory can make it even better by simplifying rules and regulations.
Ryan is leaving Hong Kong this month after four years as Ireland's first Consul-General here. He is moving to Wellington to set up Ireland's first embassy in New Zealand.
"Hong Kong is perfect as a center for the Asia-Pacific region and the Greater Bay Area, with the rule of law, wide use of English and a straightforward way to do business. We were able to get the Consulate General up and running very quickly in 2014," he said.
"But the administration could make it easier, especially for small and medium-size firms. Some rules, regulations and standards are too complex, such as labeling for food," Ryan said.
The island of Ireland has a population of six million people but can produce enough food for 50 million. "Hong Kong is a natural hub for the export of Irish food and drink products. It has become the wine center for Asia-Pacific through innovative policies to handle wine. It is very easy to trade.
"But it imposes a 100 percent duty on Irish whiskey and demands a certificate of age. This is unnecessary and not in keeping with the open policy. Why is whiskey treated differently to wine?" he said.
In the mid-19th century, Irish whiskey was the most popular spirit in the world and "Scotch" was almost unknown outside Scotland. "Whiskey" comes from the Irish word "uisce beatha" (water of life). Then the industry went into decline and Scotch replaced it as the global leader. Since 1990, however, Irish whiskey has been the fastest growing spirit in the world, with exports increasing 15 percent a year. Ireland has 18 distilleries in operation, with a further 16 in the planning stage.
There are 5,000 Irish citizens in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, Macau and mainland China, there are 85 Irish companies employing 10,000 people.
"The HK Trade Development Council and InvestHK have been aggressively courting Irish investment and trade," said Ryan.
At the end of May, Hong Kong's financial secretary, Paul Chan Mo-po, went to Dublin and met officials from Enterprise Ireland and some of its key fintech clients, including Fexco, Know Your Customer, Corlytics, CurrencyFair, Transfermate and Daon with a view to attracting more Irish firms in fintech and aircraft leasing.
More than 20 Irish fintech companies now use Hong Kong as a gateway to mainland China and Asia's other fast-growing markets. They have contracts with companies here such as HSBC, Standard Chartered and Bank of China as well as the Securities and Futures Commission.
On June 2, Cathay Pacific began a four-times-a-week direct flight between Hong Kong and Dublin; it is the first from Ireland's capital to an Asian city.
"This has put a greater focus on Hong Kong in Ireland," said Ryan. "Hong Kong has stolen a march on other cities in the Asia-Pacific Region. It has increased opportunities across the board, in business, cultural exchange, tourism and the flow of students and young people."
He welcomed the increased interest from Hong Kong people and businesses in Ireland and in Dublin. "Of the city's population, 25 percent was born overseas. And, of the working population, 30 percent was born overseas. We welcome diversity. We were the first country to approve same-sex marriage in a referendum," the envoy noted.
Leo Varadkar, the Irish Taoiseach (Prime Minister), is gay and half-Indian, the son of an Indian doctor and an Irish nurse.
"The investment environment is similar to that of Hong Kong – simple rules and regulations, rule of law and English-speaking. It is the ideal place from which to export to the 600 million people in the market of the European Union," Ryan said.
Asked for his most profound moments in Hong Kong, he said that they came while meeting the Irish priests and nuns who have served here for their whole lives, mainly in education. "They were very humble, accepted no praise for themselves and deflected attention to others.
"When I arrived in August 2014 and met members of LegCo and ExCo, their eyes lit up when they told me of their Irish teachers.
"One of the most moving moments of my life came in meeting Father Joseph Mallin," Ryan said. A Jesuit priest, Mallin died on Easter Sunday this year in Hong Kong, aged 104. He was the oldest Irish priest in the world.
He arrived in Hong Kong in 1948 and served here until he was 100. He worked as the bursar of the Jesuit mission, director of a social center, secondary school teacher, headmaster of a primary school and principal of Ricci College and of a kindergarten in Macau.
"Father Mallin exemplified all these virtues of self-sacrifice and devotion to others. He talked not of himself but of the people of Hong Kong and China. He had a ready smile and shared many stories from his eventful life. He was older than the Republic of Ireland (set up in 1922) and had a personal perspective on the revolutionary period of Ireland's history. It was a great honor to meet him and I will treasure the memories of spending time with him," said Ryan.

Sketch & Stash 29 & Allsorts 40 Challenges
I'm trying hard to get back into my challenges after being a bit lost in the wilderness for a couple of months due to technology malfunctions and illness so, as I have a few days off from minding my lickle Ada this week, I'm getiing stuck in!
This week at Allsorts, we're asked for a tag, a ticket or a label and I've put my motto on my hanging label for this. Also, the lovely DT at Allsorts would like to know what neglected or never used stash was used.
Well, the pink gingham was in a pad I bought nearly two years ago from a craft show and have hardly opened! The lovely patterned paper is only unused because I love it and was saving it! It's DCWV from Nancy's Pink Spring set of Drawers.
I'm really sorry about the photo - the colours haven't come out at all well and I will try to take another tomorrow morning in daylight, but if I leave uploading until then, I'll miss the Sketch and Stash challenge which provided the fab sketch!
(NB just uploaded new photo but after Jules' lovely comment!)
It's a bit of a gamble all round this card because I've coloured Mo Manning's fab image 'Between' in both Copics and Lyra pencils. Copics, I love and use all the time but except for one time I can think of, I've never used coloured pencils for years - since high school I think!
Also, not having any 'Sansodor' (which I've read peeps use to blend the pencils) I used a drop of body-oil which may or may not have worked, but smells lovely! LOL! So if my colouring isn't up to my usual - that's why!
Hope you like it!

By Joel M. Vance
In 1957 Jerry Lee Lewis warned us that there was "A whole lot of shakin' goin' on!" Ominously, Jerry Lee described himself as The Killer. Now, many years later, he should be designated the spokessinger for natural disaster, the minstrel for volcanologists and seismologists everywhere.
Most of us don't realize and those who do mostly don't think about the fact that we all are sitting on a ticking time bomb which also is a target for random chunks of rock from space that have the potential for blowing out our little candle of life.
A recent news story revealed that a meteorite is due to pass close to earth which, if it were to hit the Earth's surface, might well have the effect that an historic meteorite did when it impacted the Earth and apparently caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. A concurrent news story said that within the preceding week three chunks of space junk had whizzed by planet Earth uncomfortably close by cosmic standards.
A wave of panic washed over me— the feeling you might get when your car stalls on the railroad track with the Fireball Limited bearing down on it and the car won't start! And then I read further into the story which explained that the meteorite isn't due in Earth's neighborhood for 800 years plus and probably will miss by considerable margin anyway.
Whew! Disaster averted.
On the other hand you don't see that many dinosaurs around anymore outside of the latest movie version of Jurassic Park. And that's all done with computers. However, those big sauropods went somewhere for some reason and the best theory is that a hurtling meteorite targeted Earth millennia ago and zap! Bye-bye, the plant-eating sauropods, Tyrannosaurus, and other flesh eating dinosaurs.
Meteorites are a rare occurrence and not much to worry about but on the other hand, much of the earth is sitting on that aforementioned ticking time bomb and we all go about our daily lives not realizing that a few feet beneath us is enough explosive energy to send us sailing into time on the trail of the sauropods. I've seen the evidence firsthand of how nasty Mother Earth can be when she gets ticked off about something.
Some years back I went fishing at Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee. The fishing wasn't very good and the highlight of the trip was a visit to Carl Perkin's birthplace, a decrepit cabin that didn't look fit enough to raise hogs in, much less a place to nurture one of rock 'n roll's pioneer giants. If Perkins had invited his rockabilly contemporary Jerry Lee home for a whole lotta shakin', the place would have collapsed. Carl Perkins has followed Tyrannosaurus rex into the history books but Reelfoot Lake still is there, concrete evidence catastrophe lurked nearby.
The 15,000 acre Lake came into being after the 1811-12 New Madrid earthquake which temporarily reversed the flow of the Mississippi River and caused a vast area of Tennessee to subside into what today is called a "sag pond." This series of earthquakes remains the most powerful to hit the contiguous United States east of the Rocky Mountains in recorded history. The only thing that saved the area from massive casualties was the fact that few people lived in the area.
That's not the case today when the New Madrid fault which could cause a modern-day earthquake just about any time Mother Earth decides to shake things up threatens such major urban centers as Memphis and St. Louis. The so-called New Madrid seismic zone has contributed to more than 4000 minor earthquakes in recent times and seismologists estimate there is a 7 to 10% chance in the next 50 years of a repeat of the 1811-12 quake.
Such an event would play havoc with the numerous famous barbecue restaurants of both St. Louis and Memphis not to mention putting a serious shakeup in the daily lives of many thousands of the area's urban dwellers.
Chances are a new New Madrid quake would do little if any damage to my mid-Missouri home, but who's to say? About halfway between the two places is the Decaturville Dome between Camdenton and Lebanon adjacent to Highway Five where an estimated 300 million years ago give or take a few hundred thousand, a meteorite six kilometers in diameter crashed into the earth. Maybe that meteorite 800 years from now won't miss after all— sometimes they don't.
The dome is one of a series of impact craters, roughly along the 38th parallel and theories are that it is one of several historic meteorite strikes stretching from Kansas through Missouri— but an alternate theory is that at least one of them is the result of a volcanic explosion rather than a meteorite strike.
If you happen to be standing on one of these explosive spots when the unthinkable happens, it doesn't much matter what the reason is. Nor did the reason matter to the more than two dozen campers buried by a landslide in 1959 when the Yellowstone National Park area shrugged its shoulders. The earthquake rippled the landscape and actually created a lake, appropriately named Quake Lake. I couldn't repress a shudder when our jon boat drifted past the area on the Madison River some years back. It was like tiptoeing under a huge leaning tree that you know is going to fall one of these days and you hope it's not this day.
But the 1959 earthquake would be no more than a hiccup if the Yellowstone caldera decides to blow its top. The cataclysmic effect is almost unimaginable. It only takes a visit to Yellowstone to glimpse the potential. The entire park is pockmarked with geysers and bubbling reminders that just beneath your feet Mom Nature has an uneasy stomach that at any moment could result in a planetary vomit that would dwarf anything ever experienced.
Just more than 2 million years ago there was a Yellowstone eruption that produced 2500 times as much ash as the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption which happened within the memory of most people today. Ash from Mount Saint Helens settled on our deck in mid-Missouri and ash from a super volcanic eruption in Yellowstone would coat the entire United States with ash, not to mention probably obliterating any town or city for a considerable distance from the epicenter. The estimates are that such an eruption would blanket the states of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Colorado with three feet of volcanic ash and would cover the Midwest with far more than a mere coating on our deck. But take heart— the chances of such an eruption in the lifetime of anyone on the planet today are minimal. In fact there might never be another eruption on the magnitude of the three recorded in history, the last one 664,000 years ago.
Let's face it— the Earth's crust is an explosive device waiting to happen. I've never heard of it but in 1505 there was a magnitude 8.7 earthquake in the Himalayan Mountains, the highest on earth, and a 2018 study estimates that if a magnitude 8.7 earthquake struck the same area now it would kill nearly 600,000 people and injure more than one million. We think of the Himalayas as Mount Everest and K2 and other destinations for the world's most intrepid mountain climbers. But apparently they are far more than great big knobs sticking out of the ground to give mountain climbers something to write books about— or get killed trying to get to the top.
And isn't it time we quit referring to Mother Earth or Mother Nature as if the world we live in has a feminine aspect and natural disaster is the result of some cosmic female pique? That may be the ultimate expression of misogyny. This sexist attitude is even reflected in our advertising— remember the 1970s series of commercials for Chiffon margarine which warned you "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature" after which there was a flash of lightning and a peal of thunder. Fortunately, the Chiffon folks didn't feel it necessary to punctuate their stupid commercial with a volcanic eruption or a devastating earthquake. They just told you it was preferable to use margarine rather than real butter. So let's just do away with the comparison of natural disaster to female pique. Nature is what it is and let's leave the ladies out of it.
Our two newest states both have been victimized by nature's hiccups. In 1964 on Good Friday (which didn't seem that good to religious and nonreligious Alaskans alike) a magnitude 9.2 earthquake shook the state and caused a comparatively minor 139 deaths. Alaska is part of an earthquake prone rim around the Pacific Ocean and is never more than a few days or maybe hours from an earthquake. Seismologists registered more than 55,000 earthquakes in 2018. And there have been more than 3000 already in 2019.
In 1866, Mark Twain visited the Hawaiian Islands and climbed Mount Kilauea and called it "a vision of hell and its angels." And in 2018, the same volcano erupted and we saw firsthand rivers of lava, spilling down the side of the mountain into the sea, threatening life and causing $800 million in damages. Which proves that not much has changed in a century and a half, except the value of the dollar.
So what can you do to avoid being shaken, rattled, and rolled (to invoke another classic rock 'n roll ballad) by an earthquake, or to be incinerated by a volcanic eruption? The answer probably is to book a berth on the first Martian settlement rocket.
While science has gotten far better at predicting the probability of both earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, the science still can't do a whole lot more than to caution that trouble is brewing. There was no warning that we know of before historic eruptions of Italy's Mount Etna and Mount Vesuvius. One at Mount Etna may have killed as many as 20,000 people and an eruption in 79 A.D. by Vesuvius is well known for having incinerated more than 1000 people some of whom to this day are being discovered in charcoal form.
There was plenty of warning well ahead of time that Mount Pelee on the island of Martinique was going to explode in 1902 but most people ignored the ominous signs and 30,000 of them died as a result.
Natural disasters are a fact of life (or death). Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are not necessarily the worst of the potential catastrophes that nature periodically visits on the Earth's citizens. In 1900 after a hurricane devastated Galveston, Texas, an estimated 8000 -12,000 people died. Storm forecasting was primitive in those days but even so southern coastal residents had about two weeks warning. It wasn't nearly enough. Katrina in 2005 took 1200 lives. There have been many other disastrous hurricanes as well.
The 1871 Peshtigo forest fire swept across northern Wisconsin and wiped out as many as 2500 people— ironically it occurred the same day as the Chicago fire which made more news because it burned much of the city and killed about 300 people. Ten times as many died in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. And, as anyone in California, will tell you San Francisco and the rest of the state is overdue for one or more similar quakes that could make the Frisco tremor comparatively minor.
So, given the Earth's propensity for upsetting humanity's tentative grasp on life and property, the best alternative to wasting time worrying about being hit by a meteorite, is to plug in Jayree Lee, turn up the volume, and boogie on "Come on over, baby! Whole lot of shakin' going on!"

I just installed hello pro 3 in addition to genesis. It seems like all of the front page widget areas are missing. Demo data does not work either. What could be the problem?

Hi petteriparhi,
Thanks for using Hello! Pro 3! It looks like it was just released on StudioPress today 🙂
Hello! Pro 3 was designed to use the new Gutenberg page editor, so there's no need for Homepage Widgets like in the past. If you check out the latest version of the "Genesis Sample" theme, you'll see it also works this way. It was a major influence on the redesign of our Hello! Pro theme.
First, ensure the Hello! Pro 3 theme is not activated. Then once Genesis 2.9+ is installed, activate Hello! Pro 3, and you should be forwarded to an "on-boarding" page where you have the option to have the theme automatically setup your website. We recommend going this route if you're not familiar with using Gutenberg.
If you choose the automatic install, the theme will create the following demo pages for you:
- Home
- About Me
- Landing Page Example
- Gutenberg Block Examples
- Contact Me
The theme will also automatically setup a new navigation menu for you, and will add it to the header navigation area.
Once these pages are created, you can go into them and customize the content as you wish, with a majority of the page layout already in place for you!
Please see the following Theme Setup guide for more detailed instructions:
— we'll be updating this guide as soon as possible to mention the extra pages and navigation menu which get automatically added.
Please let us know if you have any problems performing the auto-install.
We hope you enjoy using Hello! Pro 3!
March 20, 2019 at 3:30 am #6762
okay thanks, this clarifies the issue. After trying it for a while I decided to install hello! pro 2 to proceed with my project. Are there any drawbacks with this approach?
About hello! pro 3:
Auto installer did not work as you described and this gutenberg update definitely needs documentation. It was not clear at all how could I install hp3 on my own. And I did not find the hp3 documentation on your site.
I had genesis ready when I installed hp3 theme, BUT it was an older version of genesis package (maybe 2.8). So this could be the issue, auto installed did not work on older genesis versions. So your documentation should clarify this: "make sure you have up to date genesis theme ready before installing hp3".
But anyway, thanks for the quick reply – I have no further questions and I'll try the gutenberg installer later.

(Insert new picture here) I came close to having both hands and forearms included in the gut of this 2.6 meter long tiger shark last Sunday.
A second or so later, the shark was obscured by foam as it ripped the holding wire loop free from the bait, the remains of a large cod. (This 'hookless bait' from a seafood wholesaler).
Watching three tiger sharks cruise around before feeding was tedious and hypnotic. Circle after increasingly larger and larger circles, possibly hypnotizing the intended prey (and me).
Then a straight-line swim for the bite. A live prey may not see it until too late. Chomp!
Tigers have a slower mental time-frame than us. Maybe we are just impatient for 'action'? 'They' appear to study the prey with caution. Mostly this offers a diver time to get out, and into a boat.
When tiger sharks do feed, the power is awesome. They bite the entire piece away then swallow, no chewing required.
Just as dangerous in shallow water too. Beware of big shark getting too close. In some respects similar to a white pointer – when they bite, but a slower swimming pattern around the prey to begin with.
Lessons learned' from the sharks episode of last Saturday** is how necessary an anti-shark device is for people at sea in a life raft. When these big tiger sharks finally decide to bite, nothing is going to change their mind, no amount of shouting, hitting or kicking. And when they bite – the entire piece comes away. No spitting out of anything. South Australian shark bite celebrity, Rodney Fox was fortunate a white pointer mouthed his chest in 1964 and not a tiger shark!
An inflatable lifeboat without an adequate shark repellant aboard as a life-saving device is a foolish exercise in cost-cutting, yet this is how they all are!
The electronic POD and a powerhead (on a handspear) would be my suggestions of the minimum additions to all life saving craft, especially in Hawaii where there are plenty of tiger sharks.
Costly and extra bulk but that's information. Too many have already vanished at sea without a trace. We can guess their fate more clearly now.
Be prepared for the worst circumstances to happen. If these don't happen – great. Powerheads are lethal and as dangerous as a bad shark so some form of container with a seal might be necessary.
More: A WARNING that inflatable boats are not much use around sharks. Single cell inflatable boats are a temporary life raft at best. Good for a few hours or until the first shark sees it. All life rafts aboard cruising boats should be fitted with both electronic and explosive anti shark devices, especially for tropical waters where tiger sharks are more frequent. Too many people go missing without a trace.
HELP! We yelled for assistance to these guys, five lads who we'd spoken with earlier. It was the sound of their outboard motor alongside that probably made the tiger shark release it's grip on Ben's dinghy after three to five minutes of holding on and dragging the boat down. These guys had a good look at what was happening and would have their own story to tell. "A shark trying to eat former shark hunter Ben Cropp's dinghy".

Housing Concerns on the Rise
Shopping for a new home? It may not be as easy as hoped. Those wanting to buy will quickly find there are homes for sale, but not nearly enough. The high demand for housing is only accelerating home prices meaning potential buyers are struggling to afford down payments. One reason for the lack of inventory

Griffith aviation students have secured the lion's share of Virgin Australia pilot cadetships for 2019. The Virgin Australia Pilot Cadetship program runs over 54 weeks in South Australia at Flight Training Adelaide, where cadets learn from the best in the industry and graduate with a Commercial Pilot Licence. Upon graduation of the program they are offered a role as a First or Second Officer with Virgin Australia.
Of the 16 Virgin cadetships up for grabs, 10 Griffith students were offered places for next year's intake from a submission process that saw the most applications ever registered. The 13-week assessment process for the program involved a range of skills-based and theoretical testing including interviews, reference checks, personality profiling, computer-based learning and examinations.
Griffith Head of Aviation, Associate Professor Gui Lohmann, said the results obtained in 2018 was a great testimony of the quality of the aviation students that Griffith attracts and recognition of the education they received as part of the Bachelor of Aviation program. "Apart from learning from excellent lecturers with real world experience in aviation, Griffith University offers the students the Aviation MATES program, developing a number of critical industry skills such as leadership, communication skills, resilience and teamwork," he said.?
Virgin Australia Fleet Training and Cadet Manager, Nathan Burkitt said that, "we're very pleased to be welcoming a number of Griffith University's most promising students to the program. Some of our most talented pilots have come to us via Griffith's Bachelor of Aviation program and I have no doubt this group will all have bright futures ahead of them."

1995 for me. I didn't grow up in Ohio, we moved here from Germany in 1995.
I grew up in Michigan (until 1992) & was a Notre Dame fan for their tradtion & (then) excellence. Notre Dame games were actually broadcast in Germany & I watched The Irish there too. I'm proud to say I've never been a Michigan fan.
Then we moved here & two things happened that year: 1.) The Buckeyes thumped the Irish; 2.) Eddie George had that amazing Heisman season. I was hooked.
Then I went to Ohio State & was locked in for life, of course.

I heard the Worldwide Hum roughly four days after I arrived in Russia. It wasn't as clear and distinct as it here on the Sunshine Coast in BC. The city of St. Petersburg is dense and highly populated, home to more than five million people. So it didn't surprise me that my nighttime window for hearing the Hum was smaller than in my small town on the West Coast of Canada. Presumably, the cacophony generated by such a densely populated and busy city would only subside for a few hours during the wee hours of the night. My apartment was on Ulitsa Pravdy, in the downtown core and just a few hundred meters away from the intersection of two big metro lines. The Metro (subway) system starts up early, comprises more than 1400 cars and almost 200 trains moving fast and deep – in one case almost 300 feet beneath street level. The road traffic is fast, intense, and high volume. There is a rich and high volume audio spectrum, down into the infrasonic.
And now the anticipated answer to the question: What perceived frequency did I hear?
I'm sorry but I can't answer that accurately. I opened up the online tone generator several times, but I couldn't get a good match like I can here. I am quite confident that it is the same general range (i.e. low 50s Hz to mid-60s Hz).
I know this is disappointing because had I been able to get a good frequency match, it could have sorted out one issue: the electric grid. Russia has a 50 Hz grid, unlike North America, which uses 60 Hz. A difference in perceived Hum tone would have been significant and possibly diagnostic. Had I heard a different frequency, it could have also lent weight to the theory that the Hum is a conglomeration of noise, with each location having unique sonic characteristics, interpreted individually by people's auditory systems.
Anyway, it's great to be back.

This huge structure is in very the heart of Edinburgh.
Located next to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament.
A joy for all the family, it brings a dynamic reality to the wonders
of the planet Earth. This was originally an old brewery that was gifted
to the city of Edinburgh by Scottish and Newcastle Brewery. It has been
transformed into a bright futuristic tent-covered amphitheatre. It exists
to celebrate the diversity of natural Earth. Starting from the theoretical
Big Bang creation to the all too real earthquakes of the present. The
main exhibition is divided into various galleries that follow this diversity.
This tourist attraction is on many of Edinburgh's tour bus routes.
There are 11 exhibits which bring to life the dynamics involved in all of the above.
Shaping the Surface
deals with an earth's landscape shaped by the various ice ages.
The Restless Earth
takes you through the awe-inspiring world of volcanoes and earthquakes.
How it all started
gives you an idea of how the universe began by creating scenarios of how stars and galaxies grew out of dust.
The Time Machine
presents History in a series of images that you can move around and watch history pass before your eyes, as you are whisked back in time, back 15 thousand million years before the planet earth was formed, and when dinosaurs ruled the earth.
The State of the Earth
gives you a bird's eye of view of the world where you can watch the number of people grow before your eyes.
The Oceans
lets you gaze into the watery world of where 70% of life on Earth resides.
Casualties and Survivors
explains the process of natural evolution where species rise and fall, such as the sabretooth tiger.
The Showdome
lets you walk into a hurricane or forest fire and see how they affect the human world.
The Tropical Forest
brings you into the darkening heat and moisture of an equatorial forest
Journey of Contrasts
puts you through extreme climates, such as deserts and tundra and makes you wonder how people and animals survive therein
the Polar Regions
lets you visit the poles and you can touch a freezing iceberg.
In many ways, the attraction is following in the footsteps of the science ethic behind the Scottish mind. It takes its inspiration from the ground breaking geological work of James Hutton in the 19th century. The science of geology deals with the earth's crust, its layers and their history. The notion of the Earth's layers was applied to the design of the building. The architects wanted to treat the building as if it was a series of layers moving through various degrees of fragility and strength.
Sir Michael Hopkins was the designer of the building. He wanted to impress not only the grandeur of the planet upon the visitors but also our part in it. There are three components in the design:
Our Dynamic Earth is for everyone but, a child's natural curiosity is the thing being addressed here. There are special events that focus on a particular aspect of the earth. Rock formation and volcanic eruptions are examples. Children can join a club where they can take part in all kinds of educational stuff. Expanding their mind, while getting dirty and flummoxing their parents.

Night of the Living Dead Live
3.8 (4) · Contemporary, Site Specific/Immersive
Based on George A. Romero's unparalleled 1968 film, one of the most iconic and influential releases of all time, Night of the Living Dead™ Live! comes to London for the first time ever!
A bunch of strangers are holed up in a farmhouse in rural Pennsylvania.
Hoards of the undead are approaching.
Who will make it out alive?
Night of the Living Dead™ Live! skirts the line between the horrific and the hysterical. It's the only production officially authorised by the Romero estate, paying loving homage to the film and recreating all those iconic scenes, alongside lots of new material for newcomers and hardcore fans alike.
Get amongst the gore by choosing one our special on-stage seats in Splatter Zone One, or if you like your zombies at arms length, pick seats in one of our Supposedly Safe Zones.
Expect laughs, brains, blood, guts, braaiiins, music and BRAAAAIIIINNNSS.
NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD™ LIVE! is presented by special arrangement with SAMUEL FRENCH LTD.
Age Recommendation: 13+
Critic reviews
It's a brave decision to turn a cult horror in to a comedy, but perhaps it just reinforces that idea of 'what if', and even if it's not all together terrifying, Night Of The Living Dead is frighteningly funny
The film runs 96 minutes; this messy (in more ways than one) stage version comes in at two hours, and would benefit by losing half an hour
This pisstake adaptation of the cult horror movie may give fans of the original a fright
If this is what it's like to be a zombie, kill me properly now
A hilarious, creepy, loving tribute to George A. Romero's iconic 1968 film boasting wonderful performances, a macabre design and creative special effects
It just gets sillier and sillier
While diehard fans may feel let down by this production, its lack of horror need not make it any less enjoyable
