Fonner: Shesafrigidcat back with Nebraska-breds for Fonner Park Special
Shesafrigidcat seeks her first career stakes victory when she heads a field of eight 3-year-old Nebraska-breds going six furlongs in the fillies division of the $25,000 Fonner Park Special Stakes on Saturday.
Shesafrigidcat, trained by Chuck Turco, won her maiden locally on March 22. She returned April 6 against open company in the Pepsi Stakes, where she made a good run at the leaders into the far turn but weakened into the stretch and was fourth, beaten six lengths by the multiple stakes-placed Portales. The return to statebred company makes Shesafrigidcat a solid threat.
Gypsy Jo Rose, trained by Steve Hall, was fourth to Shesafrigidcat in their March 22 meeting, and then returned April 5 to draw off for a 6 1/2-length win over statebred maidens while making her third career start. Hall will also send out Yearlong Fever, third to Gypsy Jo Rose in her only career start, as an uncoupled entry.
Tax Scratch fever will also bear watching. She set the pace while pressured throughout by Gypsy Jo Rose on April 5 and held clear for second while adding blinkers for the first time.
◗ Retired rider, actress, and model Chantal Sutherland will be at Fonner Park on Sunday to sign autographs, beginning at 1 p.m. On Saturday, Sutherland is the featured guest of the "Pick More Winners" handicapping seminar at Omaha's Horsemen's Park, and then will travel to Fonner Park for Sunday's autograph session with hosts Mike Kratville and Johnny Ray Gomez.

Earning college credits for high school courses saves you time and money. The flat fee to UNO for dual enrollment is significantly less than standard college tuition rates.
As an accredited high school, UNHS has requirements associated with test taking. A proctor is required to administer closed-book progress tests. A proctor may also help set schedules and monitor student's progress.
If transferring credits to a local school, the local school must approve the proctor by submitting the Local School Approval form. This will ensure a smooth transfer of course credits.
The Proctor Guide is a complete resource for proctors and includes details about proctoring tests, troubleshooting advice and basic dos and don'ts.

I am interested in upgrading to an auto darkening helmet for more precise welding (and ease of use). I am leaning toward a Speedglass utility model. Does anyone have any input/advice. Currently I only stick, and Oxy Acetylene weld. A Mig sometime in the future. I do not anticipate I will ever have TIG welder. What features should I get, what features will I never need. Any input is appreciated.

Photo manipulation
It's nothing new
The old masters manipulated their pictures as they developed film, and printed to achieve the results they wanted. Today we do esentially the same things in a computer. Picture by Ansel Adams.
Check out our photo manipulation page on our blog, Weekly Grist for the Eyes and Mind
How it was done then
ontrary to popular misconceptions, photo manipulation is nothing new. The way it is done is; The old black and white masters juggled negative development time, chemistry, and temperature to influence the appearance of their work.
They would do the same to their prints while adding "dodging" — reducing enlarger exposure to parts of the print, and "burning" — increasing enlarger exposure to other parts of the print — to their litany of revisions.
Their commercial photographer colleagues would use these tricks as well and if necessary, would sometimes employ the services of skilled airbrush artists, many of whom could perform visual miracles.
How it's done now
In the digital age, photo manipulation is no longer in the darkroom, but on the desktop. There are any number of programs available to manipulate images, but the most popular, and deservedly so, is Adobe Photoshop.® This is the software we use. It is professional software and definitely not user-friendly until one achieves a level of comfort. Then it becomes second nature.
Telling the story better
t the professional level, very few if any images are output to the final product without some sort of manipulation. In most cases, the intent of this manipulation is not to deceive the viewer, but to present a cleaner image which tells its story better. It's essentially the same process used by wordsmiths to edit their stories, except in this case, we are juggling pixels, levels, and colors rather than words, sentences and paragraphs.
We provide provide one or more of the following photo manipulation (post-processing) to the pictures we shoot for you. We will also provide these services on pictures you take or pictures you have that need help:
- Color correction
- Exposure levels and curves
- Background replacement
- Element replacement (heads, eyes, books, and other odd and assorted ill-reproduced image parts)
- Collage construction
- Compositing
- Sharpening

April 9, 2011 BY Aaron Hope
The San Antonio Spurs just achieved their third 60-win season of the Tim Duncan era, a feat matched over that span by only two other teams. The Los Angeles Lakers were an obvious choice, having won five NBA title during that timeframe, and the other is perhaps slightly surprising: Dirk Nowitzki's Dallas Mavericks. But then again, if you follow the Association, you know that Mark Cuban's Mavs have been a contender pretty much ever since he shook them out of their lottery-plagued funk, and drafting Dirk back in 1998 was a key turning point for the franchise. Dallas will soon begin its eleventh consecutive playoff berth and despite the 60-win mark being out of their reach, we can't help but wonder if they're a dark horse contender for that elusive championship ring. And no matter how deep their run, Dirk will be wearing a new pair of Nike Hyperdunk 2010 PEs. This latest model is even cleaner than the last HD2010 Home PEs, their subtle blocking resembling his unworn Germany player exclusive from last year's FIBA World Championships. Click through to get a better look and stick with Sneaker News for more Nike Basketball player exclusive sneakers as the postseason approaches.

Very professional company! The whole process was very smooth. Ron was friendly and very helpful.
Ron Irace did a thorough inspection of my home. He seemed very knowledgeable of all aspects of the inspection.
Great job! Very professional and friendly!
Ron was excellent. We are relocating to the area so he explained many things, sent us photos and followed up with a phone call.
The inspector (Ron) was awesome! He was very thorough and quite informative! His demeanor was extremely personable. He went above and beyond. We truly appreciated him and the service provided.
I love how informative this home inspection was.
I am disappointed not in the service Ron did but the price. I purchased a premium package and it had radon in it. I was charged for radon. Ron said if we had a check he would take 80 dollars off. My husband went and I gave him a check and he didn't have any extras with him.So, we had to pay the extra cost. Your prices really suck as it is. I thought we would get a better price since we had another inspection a few weeks prior. The other inspection was $685 and so was this one. Also, I have been checking around and your prices are crazy high. Ron your the bomb inspector but the company prices suck. Not going to recommend you guys sorry
Responsiveness, knowledge, helpfulness, excellent overall experience
Ron was very polite and explained the entire process throughout the inspection. He was on time, and was very respectful of the seller's home and furnishings.
Very detailed and broke things down in a way I could understand.
My experience was wonderful. My agent was friendly, informative, and made me feel at ease. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family. I was treated not as a customer but as family. I learned a lot and will return to Pillar for all my future inspection needs. Thank you for your kindness and true customer service, something that is lacking in this day and age.
You explained everything.
I thought Ron was very thorough and was very patient which was very important for me as the buyer! He also was very knowledgable and I felt confident in his findings. Thank you!
The inspector was on time and extremely efficient. He talked me through the entire process and explained each step and it's purpose. He was very personable and pleasant to work with. I'd highly recommend Pillar to Post services.
He was very informative and thorough inspecting the property. On time, and very professional.
Ron Irace was professional, answered all my questions, and he was very thorough. He focused on the right things and gave insightful tips for maintaining the house in the future.
the inspector took time to explain things and answer questions. I did not feel like just another customer I felt like an important client
Very informational. Inspector was relatable and friendly.
Being a first time homebuyer, I am new to all of the process and what to look for around the house. Ron Irace really did a great job explaining everything to me and what the house may need for repairs.
Very professional!

I purchased this out of desperation after damaging my hair with a styling product that contained alcohol. My fine hair started to look crispy and the ends frayed. It still looked bad after a trim. After reading reviews, I gave this a try. The gel-cream formula soaks in within 15 minutes or so. In the morning I wash it out and I am pleased to say that after a few uses, my hair already looks smoother and not as damaged, with body & shine. I actually noticed an improvement after one use. However, I think the smell is horrible. I agree with the reviewer who says it smells like vanilla mint (sort of like the Vo5 vanilla mint with a synthetic coconut note mixed in). I really, really hate the smell. So although I think this improved my hair, there is no way I could sleep with this in my hair on a regular basis. I will be looking for something else.

By Jeff Andrew Lule and John Agaba
About 1,500 pilgrims from different parts of the country and other neighbouring countries have registered at the Namugongo Catholic Martyrs' Shrine.
The in-charge of the shrine, the Rev Fr. Joseph Mukasa Muwonge, told New Vision online that they had received about 600 pilgrims from Kabale, Bushenyi, Kanungu, Mpigi, Teso, Kotido, Rakai and Lyantonde.
He said they had so far received 10 pilgrims from the US, 300 from Tanzania, 110 from South Sudan, three from DR Congo and 16 from Rwanda.
The first group of 20 pilgrims arrived on May 24 from Bushenyi.
"Many of those who come from abroad rent hotels and apartments in Kyaliwajala and Namugongo. Residents rent out their houses to the pilgrims and our role is to make sure they are safe," he added.
Muwonge said they were facing problems with accommodation for local pilgrims. At the shrine, hundreds of pilgrims were lying on the verandah of the Basilica with their luggage.
Others slept on mattresses and polythene bags in the compound. Muwonge said they planned to construct accommodation facilities, but were constrained by funds.
He said they were working closely with the Police to ensure pilgrims were safe. At Nakiyanja Anglican Martyrs' Shrine, preparations were in high gear, with the main emphasis on the sitting facilities, which cost organisers about sh120m.
The principal of Uganda Martyrs' Seminary, Namugongo and the in- charge of the shrine, the Rev. Can. Henry Segawa, said they were set for D-day.
At both shrines, security has been tightened and all pilgrims go through a thorough check, conducted by uniformed and non- uniformed Police officers.
They have also deployed the Anti- bomb squad at both premises, with sniffer dogs. Namirembe Diocese is organis- ing this year's celebrations at the Anglican Shrine, while Kotido Archdiocese is leading prayers at the Catholic Shrine.

I think I can safely say that we have delivered on our exploration strategy. And our exploration strategy is really quite simple is about three things, is about early access at scale, is about drilling more high-impact wells, and it's about exploiting our core positions. Early access at scale is the kind it says itself, but it's really enabling larger acreage uptake at lower cost. Yes, maybe some more risk, but at the same time also potentially more reward, and ideally if you get in early, you should be able to do this at lower cost, although as you are probably aware, there is a huge and maybe ever increasing global competition for exploration acreage.And then high-impact wells, when we did our strategy work in 2009, we kind of concluded that sort of we weren't making very many high-impact discoveries if any over the last few years. When we started digging into this, we said well, it wasn't really surprising, because we weren't drilling hardly any high-impact wells either. And these are normally somewhat higher risk. You don't find high-impact or don't make high-impact discoveries on every other well. I guess, we have the last 18 months, but that's not normal. The chance of success here is more likely to be one in five or one in six and it doesn't mean if you drill five, you make one discovery or if you drill six, you make discovery, sometimes, you have to drill 10 or more in order to do that. And of course the reason we do this is to find higher volumes, but also to be exposed for the outlays, the ones with the really high potential. And if we think back over the last year what kind of surprises that we had? And I think the one big, big positive surprise for everyone was onsite. It was off-scale compared to what we expect and what anyone else expected. It was a much, much better reservoir than we thought everything was better. So, but – if you don't take that kind of risk and you don't get exposed for that kind of upside, Pao is really the same. It's really the same, better reservoir quality and much larger hydrocarbon column than we envisaged and in fact a more favorable oil type even though associated with gas than we are there to envisage. And then the third point about exploiting core positions and on our total year before, this is all about maintaining or establishing robust portfolios in highly prolific oil and gas basins. Norway is obviously one of those. The Gulf of Mexico is obviously another. And I think we can safely say that we recognized from before that Angola is and Brazil I hadn't added to the list, but I think I could probably add Brazil as a core exploration position for us to the fore which are noted here and Canada is, I guess, is already there, we have made a couple of discoveries and we have established a very significant acreage portfolio here.

The monumental chestnut tree that cheered Anne Frank while she was in hiding from the Nazis was toppled by wind and heavy rain on Monday.
The once mighty tree, now diseased and rotted through the trunk, snapped about 3 feet (1 meter) above ground and crashed across several gardens. It damaged several sheds, but nearby buildings - including the Anne Frank House museum - escaped unscathed. No one was injured, a museum spokeswoman said.
"Someone yelled, 'It's falling. The tree is falling,' and then you heard it go down," said museum spokeswoman Maatje Mostart. "Luckily no one was hurt."
A global campaign to save the chestnut, widely known as The Anne Frank Tree, was launched in 2007 after city officials deemed it a safety hazard and ordered it felled. The tree was granted a last-minute reprieve after a battle in court.
The 150-year-old tree suffered from fungus and moths that had caused more than half its trunk to rot.
Two years ago city workmen encased the trunk in a steel support system to prevent it from falling, but that failed under windy weather Monday.
Many clones of the tree have been taken, including 11 planted at sites around the United States and 150 at a park in Amsterdam. It is not clear whether a new tree will replace the original one on the same spot, since it rests on property belonging to a neighbor.
The Jewish teenager made several references to the tree in the diary that she kept during the 25 months she remained indoors until her family was arrested in August 1944.
"Nearly every morning I go to the attic to blow the stuffy air out of my lungs," she wrote on Feb. 23, 1944. "From my favorite spot on the floor I look up at the blue sky and the bare chestnut tree, on whose branches little raindrops shine, appearing like silver, and at the seagulls and other birds as they glide on the wind."
She also wrote: "As long as this exists, ... and I may live to see it, this sunshine, the cloudless skies - while this lasts I cannot be unhappy."
Anne Frank died of typhus in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in March 1945. Her diary was recovered and published after her death. It has become the most widely read document to emerge from the Holocaust.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
Los Angeles, CA, United States, 2012/08/22 - Indices show restaurant sector stock trends during economic recovery with fast food stocks far out-pacing full service restaurant stocks.
Industry Intelligence Inc., a market intelligence and information management company serving the forest products, packaging, and food and beverage industries, today announced the launch of two stock indices in the food service sector. The full service restaurant stock index and the fast food stock index are two of the 11 industry specific stock indices developed and monitored by Industry Intelligence Inc.
The Full Service Restaurant Stock Index tracks 16 public casual dining restaurants and compares the daily indexed results with two popular benchmarks such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 index. The Fast Food Stock Index provides the same comparison view. With the recent acquisition of Peets Coffee & Tea by investment group Joh. A. Benckiser, the company was removed from the index, leaving the fast food index with 16 companies. The Industry Intelligence stock indices separate fast food and full service restaurants, thus distinguishing it from the non-segment specific National Restaurant News Stock Index.
At the writing of this release, Industry Intelligence Fast Food Restaurant Stock Index is up 53% from December 2007 when the recession began. The Full Service Restaurant Stock Index is up by only 24% in the same period.
The Industry Intelligence Stock Indices are available to clients of Industry Intelligences i2dashboard service.
About Industry Intelligence, Inc.

(industryintel.com) has provided market intelligence to more than 600 companies worldwide from independent startups to Fortune 500 companies since it began as Forestweb in 1999.

In a recent paper, presented at the ACM Conference on Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), John Horton, Daniel Chen and I used a large-scale experiment to test the effect of different incentive schemes on the quality of crowdsourcing work.
The results surprised us. They suggest that workers perform most accurately when the task design credibly links payoffs to a worker's ability to think about the answers that their peers are likely to provide.
The idea for this study came out of our sense that, as social scientists, we had something unique to offer the existing research on human computation. Early and influential crowdsourcing research has focused on how to filter the judgments of the crowd to find the best answers. We wanted to know whether simple task-design changes could improve the quality of data coming into a crowdsourcing system in the first place.
To test this idea, we chose 14 different incentive schemes and framing techniques developed and validated across the social sciences and set up a horse race experiment to see which schemes/techniques would work best.
Consistent with our personal biases (John and Daniel are both economists, and I'm a sociologist), some of the schemes were financially oriented, some were social or psychological, and some were hybrids combining social and financial incentives. The details of all the schemes are included in the paper (it's a long list, and some of them are kind of involved), but it's worth giving some examples.
On the financial end of the incentives spectrum, we had one condition we called "reward-accuracy," which was pretty much what you'd expect: we told workers, "we'll pay you a bonus if you get the answers right." We also had one called "punishment-accuracy," the gist of which you can deduce. On the purely social-psychological side, we had one we called "trust," in which we told workers, "we'll pay you for this job no matter how bad your performance, we trust that you'll still make your best effort."
One of the weirdest schemes turns out to be important, so I need to explain that one. Called "Bayesian Truth Serum" (BTS), it incorporates a design from the work of Drazen Prelec, a behavioral economist at MIT, who realized that research subjects could probably provide useful information regarding the expected distribution for subjective, qualitative questions (nb, the mechanics of how he does this are arcane in a way that is almost sure to delight the geeks among you, so I encourage you to read his paper). Few of the details of real BTS are important, except that we incorporated the piece about asking workers to answer the questions themselves and predict the distribution of other workers' responses. We also told them we'd give them a bonus if their predictions were correct.
We then created a task that asked workers to answer five questions. In this case, the questions were drawn from another study examining participatory features of websites, for which we already possessed validated data collected by research assistants.
All workers answered the same five questions about the same website (www.kiva.org) while being exposed to one and only one of the 14 incentive schemes (or a control condition of no scheme). Roughly 2,000 individuals participated in the study, resulting in over 100 subjects in each of the experimental conditions. (The statistics and science nerds out there will be pleased to know that both the drop-out rate and demographic covariates were distributed evenly across conditions.)
To measure worker performance, we used the research assistant responses as correct answers to the questions and then calculated the total number of matching answers (out of five) provided by each worker. The results (aggregated across all treatments) are plotted in a histogram below and show that the average worker answered just over two questions out of five correctly.
Then, in order to see how the treatments compared against each other relative to the control group, we calculated the mean correct response rate for each condition and conducted difference of means tests to see which of these means were significantly greater than the control group. The results of this comparison appear below (in a new plot that doesn't even appear in the paper!):
The orange dots show the value of the mean in each condition, and the blue bars illustrate the 95% confidence interval around that mean. The treatments are sorted by the size of the difference in means from the control. (More hard-core nerd stuff: the means are adjusted using Intent-To-Treat estimators).
From these results, we concluded that our horse race had two clear front-runners: the "Bayesian Truth Serum" (BTS) and "Punishment – disagreement" conditions, each of which improved average worker performance by almost half of a correct answer above the 2.08 correct answers in the control group. A few of the other financial and hybrid incentives had fairly large point estimates, but were not significantly different from control once we adjusted the test statistics and corresponding p-values to account for the fact that we were making so many comparisons at once (apologies if this doesn't make sense — it's yet another precautionary measure to avoid upsetting the stats nerds among you). In a tough turn for the sociologists and psychologists, none of the purely social/psychological treatments had any signficant effects at all.
Why do BTS and punishing workers for disagreement succeed in improving performance significantly where so many of the other incentive schemes failed? The answer hinges on the fact that both conditions tied workers' payoffs to their ability to think about their peers' likely responses. (We elaborate on the argument in more detail in the paper.)
Does this mean that we should give up on simple financial or social-psychological incentives? Probably not. The fact that we conducted the experiment on MTurk means that the deck may have been stacked against incentives like the "trust" condition I described earlier. Because requesters on MTurk have little oversight, workers are more likely to respond to financial incentives than stated promises. In this sense, the marketplace has structured the interaction between workers and requesters in a way that may limit the opportunities to harness motivations that are not linked to money in some explicit way.

Posted April 11, 2012
Seoul (dpa) – Fat people between the ages of 60 and 70 years are less intelligent than thin people, according to a new study published in the South Korean journal Age and Ageing.
There was insufficient evidence to find a correlation with people older than 70, according to the study that found people with a lot of abdominal fat showed lower cognitive performance. The study noted that the fat tissue immediately under the skin – subcutaneous fat – had no such influence.
"Our findings have important public health implications. The prevention of obesity, particularly central obesity, might be important for the prevention of cognitive decline or dementia," according to Dae Hyun Yoon of the Psychiatric Department of the National University in Seoul.
Avoiding obesity, in particular around the abdomen, could be a way of countering dementia, the study concluded.
The researchers analysed data on weight and waist circumference in 250 subjects older than 60 in South Korea. The study included body mass index (BMI) measurements that relate height to weight, and using computer tomography on the abdominal region.
The researchers found a statistical correlation between abdominal obesity (visceral adiposity) and intelligence in the group, without finding a discernible cause-and-effect relationship.
Although previous studies had discovered a similar relationship, a larger study was necessary to confirm the results, the team said. Abdominal fat, as opposed to subcutaneous fat, tended to lead to problems with metabolizing sugars and fats, it said.
"The study showed that a high BMI was linked to the risk of lower cognitive performance in adults between 60 and 70," the authors wrote. In the case of participants older than 70, no link could be found between either abdominal fat or subcutaneous fat and intellectual performance.
This showed that the link between visceral adiposity (abdominal fat) and reduced cognitive performance disappeared with age.
Cognitive ability was tested by means of the so-called Mini Mental State Examination, which requires the subjects to answer simple questions that test understanding of time, space, language and motor skills in about 10 minutes.

A world's first adventure to Stand-up Paddleboard the Holy Ganges, from source-to-sea (2525 kms) . During this 3 month expedition commencing Sept 2016, we will shine a global Spotlight on the perils of water pollution while also highlighting stories of individual and community successes towards cleaner and safer water. All against the mind boggling backdrop of the great Indian outdoors and the countries' rich confluence and variation of human, social, cultural and environmental streams,
Thank you for Stopping By – You support is very gratefully and humbly received.
A quick round up of the Project and why it matters
GangesSUP's Goals are :
#PaddleForChange – Using the Power of adventure to understand the very serious problem of water pollution via citizen science, community clean up projects, simple call to actions and citizen advocacy.
#AdventureInyourOwnBackyard – Showcase the immense accessibility of the SUP sport as a means of creating additional Eco-tourism opportunities in India's great outdoors. While also improving youth and individual engagement in environmental issues via something aspirational and cool.
#SUPAgainstSUP – We are aware that cleaning rivers is a long term, often politically charged matter, hence we are focusing on causes of water pollution that are visible, do not require huge barriers for considerable improvement and see a huge improvement with the littlelest of governance changes. We are focusing on raising awareness against single use plastic (SUP)- i.e #SUPagainstSUP (stand-up paddleboarding against single-use plastic) and other causes of pollution that are more readily addressable (e.g. treatment of sewage waste before it goes into the river).
Our Project Deliverables
We plan for:
- Documentation on this goddess of a river which is facing its death;
- A documentary film to premiere in Spring 2017;
- Analysis of the condition of the river & the water via sampling where possible, anecdotal evidence, interaction with local organisations and qualitative & human ecological questions;
- Photography of the entire journey;
- Regular Blogs, Vlogs, Social Media and Website updates as we travel;
- Collaborative events such a 'Clean up drives', school visits & community interactions in the major hubs/cities along the river;
- Media events to spread the intent & the messaging of the expedition far and wide;
- 2 strong calls to action – Disincentives for usage of plastic bags as well as working with WaterAid for advocacy against disposal of untreated sewage into the Ganges
The context for the Project
The Ganges or Ma Ganga is not only a critical pillar of India's cultural and spiritual identity but also one of the most prominent and significant rivers of the world. In the words of India's first prime minister – 'The story of the Ganges, from her source to the sea, from old times to new, is the story of India's civilization and culture, of the rise and fall of empires, of great and proud cities, of adventures of man'.
The Ganga river basin is one of the largest river systems in the world, supporting not only over a 12th of the world's population but also numerous diverse ecosystems, from the alpine forests near Gaumukh to the plains of northern India to the mangrove forests and saline mud flats of West Bengal.
This river-of-life however, is now facing an accelerated death due to the immense strain placed on it due to human activity and interference. The challenges of the Ganges are similar to those faced by water bodies around the world – issues that are of global relevance and urgency as all this waste and these pollutants end up in our oceans, endanger marine life and eventually find their way in our bodies through the food chain.
The pollution and threats to the Ganges have many origins at different points along the river and is easier to understand by dividing the river system into three main geographical regions along its main course: 1. Upper Ganga Region: the origin of the river in the lap of the Himalayas 2. Middle Ganga Region: the river as it meanders through the plains, where it is the most heavily populated. 3. Lower Ganga Region: the delta region as the river meets with Ganga Sagar. This is a very helpful graphic from Ganga Action Parivar –
Why does water pollution matter and Why the time for GangesSUP is now?
So Why Stand Up Paddleboarding?
Stand Up Paddlboarding (SUP) is not only the world's fastest growing watersport but is also an incredibly accessible sport, all one really needs is water and a paddle+paddleboard to practice it. The advent of inflatable paddleboards has made it even easier to 'travel with'. The sport also gives unrivaled visibility both inside and outside water.
Who we are
We are a three person international team of Shilpika 'Shilps' (female, Indian), Spike (male, British & Irish) and Pascal (male, German).
In late 2015, the idea of GangeSUP germinated from Shilps' burning dream to combine her love for adventure, a desire to discover more of her motherland via an 'immersive' & 'slow travel' mode (having been away from India for a decade) & most importantly realizing the need to create a constructive & engaging dialogue for the very very serious problem of water pollution. Meeting Spike via London's fitness and adventure community led to the seed of the idea growing into a tangible expedition format and with Pascal's addition to the team in the form of an environmental scientist, we bring together what we think are essential components for this expedition team's adventure-for-purpose.
As a team we are united by our passion for impacting and creating sustainable change, for pushing the boundaries of stereotypes & comfort and for empowering purpose via adventure.
We also bring a range of complementary skills and backgrounds to this expedition as below –
More details on the team can be found here –GangesSUP Team Profile
Besides this core team of 3, we are fortunate to have some passionate adventure and environment enthusiasts join us for shorter phases of the expedition along the river.
We are forever indebted to our wider team of family, friends and sponsors and partners, without whom this idea may have never actualized.
The Expedition plan (Well Plan A in any case!)
Kicking off in the final week of September 2016, our expedition itinerary is broadly divided into 3 phases –
Taking into account rest stops, community engagement projects and likely safety/health concerns, we expect the expedition to take up to 3 months
– Phase 1 Week of 28th September – Commence the 270km odd trek from Gaumukh +Gangotri, 4100metres high in the Himalays (i.e. the source) down to just below the Tehri Dam. We expect this to take approx 2 weeks.
Phase 2 Week of 10th October -Tehri Dam to Haridwar – We will be getting on our inflatable stand up paddleboards at just below Tehri Dam / near Devprayag and will aim for Haridwar through the white waters (approx 70 kms with rapids upto Grade 6).
Phase 3 Haridwar to Ganga Sagar – We will be swapping to our hard stand up paddle boards from Haridwar and embarking on the longest phase of our journey until Ganga Sagar.
OK but have you done ANYTHING like this before?
To prepare for this journey we have just finished the first 307 km long source to sea descent of the river Shannon by paddleboard. This Irish river is the longest river in the British Isles and the expedition took us roughly 2 weeks agains the backdrop of constant headwinds, heavy rain but unfailing and lovely Irish hospitality. We were lucky to get some Media love as below:
Why are we asking for your support ?
So far the expedition is completely Self-Funded barring equipment support from our incredible partners . This project has now been 9 months in planning and is a huge (yet super rewarding) feat to undertake -Shilps has been dedicated to it full time for this duration & Spike and Pascal have also spent considerable effort in getting us to this stage – Between expedition logistics, training expedition in Ireland, insurance, plane tickets, expedition gear, filming, photography and editing of the film , our budget is to the tune of GBP 50,000+. The great news is that we are GBP 28,000 of the way there already !
We really really really NEED your support for the remaining GBP 22,000+ (BRExit has made our funding goal about 12% higher than initially estimated) which is broadly split as follows:
– GBP 13,500: India Specific Expedition Safety & logistics – In its leanest and meanest form, this includes but is not limited to -State specific permissions to be on the river, support vehicle, white water support, local fixers where needed. Our conviction to do this Expedition completely unsupported has been gradually chipped away due to reinforcement of local concerns regarding the risks mentioned above.
– GBP 1000-1500: Scientific Experiments and cost of sample analysis.
– GBP 7000: Production of the Expedition Documentary, editing, post production – We consider our work and purpose left unfinished if we cannot share our findings on the river with a global audience, in a raw, authentic and unbiased form – this will be by the means of a post expedition documentary film which we will also use to fundraise for our Charity Partners, including WaterAid India.
All funding will go directly to the project- Please donate if you are so engaged, inspired and are able. Every single contribution counts and we greatly value all support we receive—moral, fiscal, and social.
As we currently stand today w.r.t gear and monetary position – we are fully in a position to undertake the expedition as per plan – the difference between funding and lack of, is jeopardizing our safety and health and not being able to expand the environmental and social impact of this expedition beyond the adventure. We are only going to attempt this particular journey once, so we want to really push the boundaries of what impact and change we can create through it.
We are also confident that there are plenty of like minded individuals out there who care passionately and deeply for cleaner waters and will help us reach our Funding goal, enabling us to honor our Campaign Rewards.
For the Rewards themselves, we were very keen on not listing anything that might be an additional burden on the environment and more importantly where we would be able to engage with our backers as much as possible. Please take a look at our rewards list and we hope that there will be something you will like!
The Impact
This is the reality of the human impact on our rivers and our oceans today – Recognizing, addressing and taking action against water pollution is essential to life, to human survival, to civilization itself.
Risks & Challenges
Besides the adventure specific aspects, our big Challenges are:
-To authentically tell a story of the river and its people using a combination of anecdotal evidence, citizen science, photo, footage & writing;
-To crystallize the format of the legacy we would like to leave post expedition;
-To get our message out to as many people as possible, to engage them enough to create momentum and empower action.
There are many other ways of helping!!
We firmly believe that each one of you can meaningfully contribute to the campaign & our rivers in myriad of other ways if not financially:
- Spread the good word –You can help simply by spreading the message by word of mouth or via Facebook,Twitter & Instagram by using the hashtag #Paddleforchange and #SUPAgainstSUP – collective change & mobilisation has the power to save our rivers.
- Show us some Social Media Love by liking us on Facebook and following us on Twitter & Instagram.
#OneLess Pledge – Perhaps take a moment and reflect on the role of Single-Use plastic in your life and find ways of cutting down on it – We need not all be on the water to find ways of making it cleaner.
Join Us – GangesSUP encourages you to join us on the expedition – you may be an environmentalist, a scientist, an adventure enthusiast or may simply want to explore a new country by human powered means – You are all welcome – just drop us a line on email@example.com
- Love & Luck – Please send good energy, positive thoughts, and your moral support as we make this very exciting, purposeful, yet dangerous journey.
