1997 Dodge Ram Van ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Surviving the test of time.
Dodge has been refining the Ram Wagon and Ram Van models for 25 years. This year, the side and rear doors have been revised to open wider for easier loading and unloading. The Ram's front end was completely restyled in 1993 and the steering and suspension systems were re-engineered for a more controlled ride.
The Dodge uses welded steel unit-body construction instead of the body-on-frame design employed by the GM and Ford products. Nonetheless, the Dodge is a stout van built to commercial truck standards. It also offers good value.
When outfitted in SLT trim, the Dodge Wagon is a comfortable place to spend some long days. A driver's air bag is standard, but anti-lock brakes are optional on all models. The spare tire is mounted in the floor.
Two wheelbases are offered, a short 109.6-inch version and a 127.6-inch platform. Maxi bodies add 26 inches to the overall length of the standard long-wheelbase models for hauling up to 15 passengers. The Maxi Van offers 304.5 cu. ft. of cargo space.
The front suspension consists of upper and lower arms with coil springs, with conventional load-carrying leaf springs at the rear and anti-roll bars at both ends. Overall, this system works well, but it does not boast the ride quality and isolation from road vibration of the Ford and GM vans.
Dodge Ram Vans retail for $17,460 for the short wheelbase and $18,120 for the long wheelbase 1500 models; $18,280 for the short wheelbase, $18,325 for the long wheelbase and $19,975 for the Maxi 2500 models; and $20,915 for the 3500 and $21,490 for the Maxi 3500 models. The Ram Wagons: $20,355 for the 1500, $22,555 for the 2500, $23,755 for the 3500 and $25,565 for the Maxi 3500.
Driving Impression
Engine choices include the base 3.9-liter V6. The $590 optional 5.2-liter V8 (standard on the 3500 models) produces 225 hp at 4400 rpm and 295 lb.-ft. of torque at 3200 rpm. The $860 optional ($270 on 3500 models) 5.9-liter V8 produces 235 hp at 4000 rpm and 330 lb.-ft. of torque at 3000 rpm. No diesel is available, but a compressed natural gas engine is an option.
A three-speed automatic is available, but the four-speed automatic overdrive transmission drives nicer, gets about 4 mpg better fuel economy on the highway and is much better equipped to handle heavy loads and adverse conditions. Fuel economy barely suffers with the 5.2-liter engine option on 1500 models when it is ordered with the four-speed automatic because the overdrive gear reduces rpm at highway speeds.
We drove the Maxi Wagon 3500, the heaviest version available, with an extended body and seating for 15 passengers. The big 5.9-liter V8 produces lots of power, but lacks some of the smoothness of the newer Ford and GM engines. The Dodge Ram Vans are less expensive, however, making them popular for hotel and airport shuttle services and other fleet operations.Broad shoulders and a big work ethic.
If Chicago is the city of broad shoulders, here's its pickup truck equivalent. When Dodge introduced the all-new Ram family in 1994, it was the company's first ground-up redesign in 22 years, and an instant success. From also-ran status, the Ram has created huge waves in the marketplace, vaulting to a record 382,000 sales in 1996.
This chrome-grilled, big-rig-wannabe is not only the most bodacious looking truck on the market, it also boasts the biggest engine, the highest power ratings, the biggest payload ratings, and the highest towing capacity of any pickup truck you can buy. It's also collected several J.D. Power trophies for quality and for overall appeal.
Like all of the domestic full-size pickups, the Ram is available in three load ratings--the 1500, 2500 and 3500 series. Engine offerings are also multiple, starting with a basic 3.9-liter V6. There are two V8 options--5.2 and 5.9 liters, plus the monster 8.0-liter V10 and the fine Cummins 5.9-liter inline six-cylinder turbodiesel.
The Ram comes with either two- or four-wheel drive, in standard and Club Cab body styles, in Work Special, LT and Laramie SLT trim levels. The regular bed is 6.5 feet long, the optional long bed is eight feet. Again, this pretty much parallels the range of offerings from Ford, Chevy and GMC.
Improvements for 1997 include a new keyless remote entry system, an upgraded base sound system, a new cassette and CD option, leather seat availability on SLT versions, a new Sport Plus package with 17-inch wheels, suspension upgrades, a 5.9-liter V8 engine with sport exhausts, and a number of appearance and quality upgrades: electrocoated frame paint, new colors, and new interior colors.
The attention to quality shows. Paint quality, trim and body panel fits on our test truck were very good, and door closures were excellent. The bed liner that comes with the truck is well made, with only a few tiny apertures where dirt and moisture can gather.
Though most customers are initially attracted to the Ram for its bold exterior design, there is a great deal more good stuff to be discovered on the inside. Tops in the good stuff category is roominess. The interior design guys figured out a way to do the instrument panel and the seats in such a way as to provide more room in a standard cab layout and a whole bunch more room in a Club Cab layout than anybody else, although Ford's new F-Series trucks have since largely matched the Ram's roominess.
The instrument panel looks distantly related to that of a Jeep Grand Cherokee, and, of course, it is, with the same radio equipment and similar switchgear, instrument graphics and placements. Is this bad? No way. It's a good layout, with a few dollops of color to keep it visually interesting, and very few customers cross-shop Grand Cherokees and Rams anyway.
The leather-covered seats in our test truck were unique in our truck experience, built with an enormous amount of cushiness, so that your body sinks down into the seat and is well supported from backside to shoulders. The SLT six-way power seat with manual recline is divided 40/20/40, with a huge fold-down center section that doubles as an armrest and writing table, with a substantial storage box inside that incorporates divided spaces for coins, cassettes, maps and the other odds and ends we all carry.
While the new leather seating option is very spiffy, some other elements of this truck's interior decor are not. We think Ford and GM truck interiors are a bit closer to design unity than the Ram. The tan leather interior gets a black instrument panel, which is a normal combination, but there is a lot of hard plastic of varying tan tones and grains that brings down the impression of quality. There are only two exposed screws in the Ram interior, a big improvement, but still two too many.
One of the slickest things about the interior is the optional storage rack system fitted to the back wall of the cab that allows an owner to get the absolute most out of the space behind the seat in a standard cab Ram. We love this storage rack, and wish other truck makers would get with the program.
The storage system has a deep, full-width tray at floor level, divided 75/25, a cargo net behind the right seat, and two stacked trays behind the left seat. The trays are heavy duty plastic, permanently installed and designed to carry real loads. Each door also has a generous set of storage bins arrayed along the bottom edge.
Driving Impression
We've driven every engine the Ram has to offer at one time or another, and we love the V10's amazing torque. But we must caution you that it not only costs $975 more than the standard V6, but that its gas-mileage performance over the life of the truck may put you in the poorhouse. If you don't absolutely need the V10 engine for big-load heavy duty work, we recommend the 5.9-liter V8, which has been in the Dodge system for ages, as has the less muscular 5.2-liter V8. And for that matter, the basic V6 in the standard 1500 series is a stout-hearted hauler in its own right.
Having said that, the optional V10 in an unladen Ram 2500 4x4, will rip across an intersection faster than any other truck on the market, and its league-leading 450 pound-feet of torque are mighty handy for anything from off-roading to hauling four-horse trailers--up to 13,000 pounds. Only the optional turbodiesel engine comes close in torque, at 440 lb.-ft., and will certainly offer better fuel economy and durability over the long haul.
The front suspension on a Ram 4x4 is a coil spring setup with four leading arms, a track bar and a stabilizer bar to keep the front axle assembly located fore and aft and side to side, and the rear suspension is a conventional leaf spring/live axle setup to carry the loads. We found that at this weight rating in a 4x4 the suspension was choppy with no load, and the heavy duty nature of the suspension places the body so high off the ground that shorter passengers had trouble climbing in and out, even with a grab bar on the A-pillar. No problem for a tall, macho guy, but certainly for kids, pets and significant others.
The one thing we didn't like about the Ram's dynamics was the steering, which was light enough and quick enough, but had a dead space on center, and seemed to require constant adjustments during straight ahead travel. It's not a problem in town, but freeway wander is a small but persistent trait at higher speeds.
The disc/drum brakes, on the other hand, were exemplary in their power and straight-stop behavior.
Over frost heaves, potholes, snowdrifts and ice the Ram was remarkably and utterly free of squeaks, rattles and shudders, a tribute to an excellent chassis design as one of the reasons it has been getting such high quality marks from J.D. Power, Strategic Vision and other survey companies.
There's no doubt that the Ram is strong enough in many areas to steal sales away from Ford and Chevrolet. Dodge has an excellent overall package here, and in the three years it has been on the market, the engineers and designers have added significant upgrades each year to make it even more competitive in the blazing-hot full-size truck market.
The only omissions are the lack of a passenger-side airbag and the absence of a third-door option, a la Ford and GM.
The Ram SLT Lariat 4x4 base price--about $25,000--is competitive, a tad more than an equivalent Chevrolet K2500 4x4 and quite a bit less than the Ford 2500 4x4 XLT, but as you can see from the price box, a truck like this one can reach $30,000 quite easily with all the options checked.
While we enjoyed the big-time torque of the V10, and recognize that some buyers need it, our pick for a family street truck would be a 1500 4x4 with the 5.9-liter V8 as a much less expensive alternative. Not to mention a truck that leaves no doubt about what it is and what it can do. Broad shoulders indeed.

Hey Everyone! Ken here with Ken's Kreations.
Well I finally got to use the new Brutus Monroe Products for my latest project!!
This was a card made for a special friend to get them through a hard day. I used the Butterfly Sentiments for this card. What I love about this set is the ability to mix the wide variety of sentiment to match any occasion! I waned this to appear that someone took a photo of the butterfly!
I started with some paper out of my stash to match the different Brutus Monroe Inks. I started with the black reflective base card and cut this at an A2 card size. For the red paper layer I ran the card stock with the Pointelle Cover Up Die through my Cut'n'Boss, /this allowed the black reflective material to shine through the back of the card. I wrapped a piece of Black & White Ribbon around the base of the card.
Now I could focus on the main feature which is the butterfly photo effect. I took my favorite heavy White Card Stock and using my Cut'n'Boss ran the paper through the machine with the Instant Camera Die. This will give you two separate cuts. The instant camera outline and the a small square that is in the inside of the photo. I took the small square and using my MISTI stamped the butterfly stamp using Brutus Monroe Wagon Ink. I then took the Brutus Monroe Sidewalk Ink and using Ranger Blender inked the edges of the instant camera cut. Now I was able to use the sentiment portion of the Butterfly Sentiments. I lined the Instant Camera cut in my MISTI and using Black Ink stamped the sentiment "I Believe". I raised both of these pieces up with Foam Tape. I finished the photo off giving it a reflective look by using Aleene's Paper Glaze. Once everything was dried I took a Distressing Tool and roughed up parts of the cut to give the photo a worn look.
The last part of the sentiment was the "You". For this I wanted the sentiment to over-layer the photo a bit. In order to do this I needed the sentiment to be stamped independently from the bottom layer. I once again used White Card Stock and the Butterfly Sentiments. I used the MISTI tool with Black Ink and stamped the sentiment. To get a nice even cut on this image I used my the Brother Scan-N-Cut with a .04 cut.

Fatah calls for "day of rage"
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Oct. 30, 2014
Fatah calls for "day of rage" tomorrow
by Itamar Marcus and Nan Jacques Zilberdik
Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah organization has declared tomorrow, Friday, a "day of rage" and called on the Palestinian "fighters" to defend Al-Aqsa. Palestinian rioters and terrorists have been active in recent weeks in the Jerusalem area, killing two, injuring many others, and causing millions of dollars in damage.
The following is the announcement by Fatah that was reported by the official PA news agency:
"Fatah calls to its fighters and to the masses of the Palestinian people to aid the Al-Aqsa Mosque and occupied Jerusalem.
In an announcement that was published by the Fatah Mobilization and Organization Commission today, the movement called to set tomorrow as a day of rage throughout the homeland and in countries which are home to refugees, to express the Palestinian people's opposition to any attack on the holy places and foremost among them the Al-Aqsa Mosque... And to consider desecration of Al-Aqsa as a declaration of a religious war against the Palestinian people and the Arab Islamic nations."
[WAFA, official PA news agency, Oct 30, 2014]
Note: On Oct. 29, 2014, the day before Fatah announced the "day of rage," Mutaz Hijazi, an Islamic Jihad member and released prisoner, attempted to assassinate Rabbi Yehuda Glick, who was seriously wounded in the shooting attack.

Its been a while now. These questions have been plaguing me for quite some time, but I sense no answers at the horizon. I mean, are we that deluded as a people?
Such simpletons, that our governments have just had to pull rabbits like religion, corruption, petty politics, Pakistan and 'India Shining' campaigns out of their hats to ensure that we never got to see the real issues? Such ill-informed ignoramuses, that we haven't been able to identify a single powerful path-breaking leader since the days of Gandhi? Such religious chauvinists, that Ayodhya clouded our thinking about our next-door neighbors for two decades on end? Such attention-seeking clods, that we preach Hindutva one day, Secularism the next? Such unfeeling bastards, because of whom the people of Kashmir have taken blow after blow and withered away for decades? Such gutless chin-wags, that its the Kalmadis and Modis that capture our national interest and rake in the moolah for the tabloids and 'news'papers, rather than Education, Healthcare, Poverty, Crime, Technology - the Real Issues.
A 15 year old would tell you that India's need of the hour is change - strong-willed, motivated change propagated by the youth. And while I'm glad that we've had the good sense to blab on and on about this at conference after conference, it saddens me to see that we still haven't had success in the real political arena. Its still only a handful of the youth that make it to the Lok Sabha; only a handful that make it through Civil Services; only those many effective law enforcers. India's youth, for all its wagging tongues, is still one massive dormant force.
Believe me, my dream is to see a group of like-minded people, with the right blend of youth and wily old-timers, orators and enforcers, visionaries and volunteers, optimists and pragmatists, Khans and Iyers give the sham that is the BJP and the Congress - our 'Nationalist' parties, a much needed sprint for their money. Let this country be run as it ought to - of, for and by the people - for once. Let it be seen that putting the country before self isn't all that today's politicos make it out to be. Let the power of Two Billion Hands shake the globe. Let the Americas stand up, take notice, and show some respect.
Let us inspire change. To that stage, let us pledge to take Mother India. And let this start with you - now, today. Let it not take an Indian Kennedy to tell you 'Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.'

Two Hard Studs Spank Their Monkeys
Duration: 22m, 8s, Starring Duke, Flame
This guy was in search of "a few good men" from the Marines to see if they wanted to make some money and come off the beach to spend some time naked in front of the camera. Duke is a bit hesitant to do more than just a fashion shoot, but once he gets back to this guy's studio and starts watching a movie, he slides out of his wetsuit and starts playing with his dick. This hairy Marine jerks it up and down while watching it, and then all of a sudden, a big black dude walks in and starts taking his clothes off too. Duke and Flame both stroke themselves off to the movie, and shoot their jizz all over themselves.
Three Hot Guys Jerk Themselves Off
Duration: 23m, 39s, Starring Alex, Eddy, Levi
In need of some cash, these three guys were invited to a shoot together where all they had to do was jerk off. Sounds easy enough, huh? Levi, Eddy and Alex all sat together topless to start, rubbing their cocks through their pants to the sight of a porn. Then they were asked to undo their pants and strip down to their underwear to see their hard meat. When the cocks came out, of course every one of them took a look at what each of them were packing. Their hands started off slowly, but when they stood up, they stroked their cocks harder and faster. When it was time to cum, they shot it all over the room, even on the floor!
Two Straight Guys Get Naked And Jerk Off
Duration: 12m, 36s, Starring Dan, Hawk
These two white guys looked like they were in a police lineup together, as they stood against the wall and answered some questions. They're always on the hunt for some pussy, and it gets them horny to think about it. They were asked to take off their clothes for some pictures, and then both of these straight guys started touching themselves through their briefs. When they were both rock hard, they took their underwear off and started beating themselves off. They turned around to show off their asses, and then turned back around to keep stroking their erect peckers until they smeared their cum all over the mirrors behind them.
Big Cock College Guys Jerk Off
Duration: 13m, 49s, Starring Levi, West
It's Valentines Day, and these two college dudes want to make some money to impress the ladies. But who knew that these two straight guys would be getting paid to jerk off on camera? They're both watching porn together on the couch, and their cocks are starting to get hard, so they start stroking them through their pants with their shirts off. When they're rock hard, they take off their pants and expose their swollen college dicks, stroking them up and down while they leak pre-cum all over themselves. They keep stroking while being relaxed, even stroking each other's cocks, and spill their nut all over themselves before they go take a shower.
Duration: 27m, 24s, Starring Dan, Lee
Lee is a sexy college dude that always gets compliments on his body, as well as compliments on his big cock. He takes off his pants and shows off his 19 year old ass and his hard cock and starts to stroke it for the camera. He spreads his asshole wide for a mirror so we can see it while he jerks his dick off. He talked about how it was hard to get pussy at the college he goes to, but he's quite shocked to see another guy come in with him and show his dick off as well. In fact, he takes it upon himself to go down on him and suck him off before he gets sucked himself. And he even gets to fuck a man's ass for the first time!

The assessment of victim risk by an expert witness in a premises liability case may become critical to the successful outcome of the case. This article provides a Daubert style methodology for determining whether the victim was at low, moderate, or high risk for a crime of violence.
In 1978, the Behavioral Science Unit (BSU) at the FBI Academy, Quantico, Virginia established a Psychological Profiling Program to assist local, state, and federal agencies in the investigation of violent crimes. Research by the BSU determined that there was a lack of credible and experienced forensic experts who could assist agencies confronted with bizarre, repetitive violent crime by attempting to determine the thought patterns and motivation of the offenders. In 1984, the National Center for the Analysis of Violent Crime (NCAVC) was funded by the National Institute of Justice and is currently operated by the FBI.
The FBI's Psychological Profiling Program eventually evolved into the Criminal Investigative Analysis Program which is defined by the FBI as "an investigative process that identifies the major personality and behavioral characteristics of the offender based on the crimes he or she has committed." The CIA involves a behavioral approach from a law enforcement perspective which focuses on the identification and apprehension of the offender rather than the mental health view of diagnosis and treatment.
The process of a CIA involves the following steps:
One of the most important aspects of the CIA process is the evaluation of the victim also known as victimology. The purpose of this step is to determine why the victim was attacked and if there was any relationship between the victim and the offender. Also, attempts are made to determine the victim's risk level or how the victim's life style may have contributed to his or her assault or death.
To determine the victim's risk level, the authors have developed a Daubert style (Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. 43F. 3d 9th Circuit, 1995) methodology for evaluating the risk level for a specific victim. This evaluation is in the form of a questionnaire which can be completed through an interview of the victim or a person who is familiar with the victim's lifestyle and personality. Yes answers to the questionnaire receive a point value of 5, no answers a 1, and Unknown or Not Applicable a 0. The points are then tabulated and can be used to indicate whether the victim was at low, moderate, or high risk for a crime of violence. For example, total points in the range of 80 to 100 would indicate a high risk victim and points in the range 0-20 would indicate low risk.
Example: a young female who is sexually assaulted in her apartment complex sues the landowner over premises liability issues (substandard security). An expert is retained by the plaintiff to provide opinions regarding foreseeability, victim risk, and security at the complex. Through the use of the above questionnaire, the expert is able to determine that the victim was at low risk for a crime of violence and, therefore, did not contribute to her own victimization. The expert could then formulate a conclusion that would be very persuasive for the plaintiff and also meet the methodology requirements of Daubert.
In premises liability cases in which a person is the victim of a violent crime, an accurate assessment of the victim's risk level becomes very important in determining liability. The victim Risk Assessment Questionnaire can be utilized by an expert to determine risk at the time of the crime and also meet the methodology requirements of Daubert.

Indoor composting made easy

Baruch is staring-eyed and stressed. This sovereign debt crisis is beginning to wear him down. He's beginning to worry. He wouldn't mind if he was just dealing with risk; he can quantify and hedge that. No, he feels deeply uncertain. Here's why:
The general hopelessness of european policymakers is just too evident. We don't have a fiscal head, a SecTreas, to make reassuring noises. We have a cacophony of differing national agendas, and a bunch of governments up for re-election. Arguably reasonable when they do stuff separately, when they act together everything they do has an air of compromise, half measure, and to the uncharitable, incompetence. The ECB, as the heir of the Bundesbank, should have a certain astringency when it comes to dealing with crisis — which in Europe hasn't come about very often — that the Fed has long since abandoned. If the Fed, especially under Greenspan, was always the loving Mommy, the Bundesbank was the harsh Prussian Vater, prepared to let its kids die if they thought it was good for them. We think that's what the ECB is supposed to be like, but we just don't know. It might also tend more to the Banque de France part of its inheritance, which was if possibly even more of a pushover than the Fed is. It's essentially untested. That's not risk; that's uncertainty.
This general European hopelessness in the face of this particular crisis is actually surprising considering how much is at stake. That's because it is not just about trivial economic issues: what is at stake are key national interests and core principles of post war foreign policy, harking back to a period where tanks roamed the continent blowing things up. It's also about domestic policy, the fabric of the settlements between right and left in Europe, insofar as what seems to be happening is that the world has decided to stop funding Europe's social model.*
Baruch was taught to understand the Euro, and the whole European project, in the context of a historic compromise between France and Germany to prevent war from ever breaking out on the continent again. Germany was permitted to become a normal state again, and to thrive, so long as it was separated into BDR and GDR, and vitally, integrated into a number of key institutions, in which the French would be the senior partner (and French the main language — they like that sort of thing). They started with the European Coal and Steel Community, and moved on to the EEC, the Single Market, and later, the EU, gathering more and more members on the way as it was clearly proving to be A Good Thing.
The USSR falling to bits put paid to this cosy arrangement; suddenly half the bargain was going to be broken as the Germans clearly wanted their Eastern relatives back. That this was a real problem at the time is easily forgotten; the Blessed Margaret famously fretted whether Reunification should actually be "permitted" at all. EMU and the Euro was the agreed-on price. Unified Germany would be even more tightly integrated to the rest of Europe, with the added bonus that, at a stroke, the more feckless European economies would be given the envied central banking credibility of the Bundesbank, the model for the ECB. For countries like Italy and Greece, where the smallest notes in circulation had lots of zeros on them, this was also seen as A Good Thing.
This is up in the air now. The Euro is at more risk than it has ever been. And for the new generation of politicians in France and Germany the compromises of the 1990s may not mean so much. We don't know how much they are prepared to risk to defend the status quo. They don't have direct memories of firebombed cities, of fathers not returning home, of mothers and sisters raped by the Red Army. I don't think we'd have the same worry if Kohl and Mitterand were still around. We would trust them more not to fuck about. Again, like the ECB, Merkel and Sarko are untried; their being in charge implies less risk, more uncertainty. And the French disengagement on this whole issue worries me.
I think that what I learned in 2008 about debt markets and leverage (they seem to go together) is that there's nothing there without confidence; take it away, and trillions can become worthless in the blink of an eye. And all you get is a stupid coupon. Say what you will about equities (yes, Felix, I like the videos), there tend to be tangible realities behind them, stuff you actually own. Even if it is the nebulous brand value of a TV sock puppet selling online petfood, it is more than zero. This, Baruch thinks, is why bonds are not an asset class for serious people.
Subprime blowing up and its ramifications were, with hindsight, pretty obvious for some time before the crap really hit the fan. When confidence there evaporated the implications for valuing other asset classes were only indirect. The debt of developed western governments may be another matter. Aren't they the anchor for the whole risk spectrum? All my company DCF models use respective 10 year government yields for the basis of the rate I discount their earnings at. Banks around the world have worked to derisk and delever their balance sheets in the past 2 years; you don't get safer than AAA/AA government bonds. They must be stuffed to the gills with it. Mrs Baruch turned to me the other day and whispered, you know dear, after all this, corporates are going to be viewed as less risky than governments. She's almost always right when she talks like this. I don't know the ramifications of that. I have no idea. The limited bits of CAPM I remember don't include that contingency. Again, uncertainty, not risk.
Confidence in bond markets is a veneer. We saw what was underneath in 2008 when the veneer thinned. I feel it thinning now, and am really worried that if subprime blowing up meant that commercial lending disappeared, and factories in Shanghai closed their doors for a month and global economic activity froze, the blowup of Eurozone sovereign debt can easily have the same impact.
As I write, eurozone finance ministers are meeting and, we are told, Have a Plan. I hope it is fittingly thermonuclear.
* this is not my original line, it came from an obscure Korean fund manager quoted in a Bloomberg article I read last week. I can't find it any more. 유감스러운.
UPDATE: Wow, Angela Merkel must read my blog! Wait — hang on — did I just save the Eurozone . . . ?

As an ambassador for serious social and environmental causes, actor Henry Cavill announces the events and campaigns of Durrell Widlife Conservation Trust and the Royal Marines Charity, to help fund collections that are reverted to various projects.
The main highlights of the causes, in the week, you remember now:
Durrell's Networking Week Started with the award-winning Best Visit Attraction Award given to Durrell's Jersey Zoo by the Jersey Style Awards.
The Park, which, in addition to caring for animals, also develops continuous activities for visitors to learn more about environmental preservation, has received well-deserved recognition at the award celebrating the culture, art and lifestyle of Jersey Island.
Another highlight of the week was the donation of a table at the Rainforest Ball. The event will take place on September 16 at the Royal Jersey Showground and will feature a special dinner and a performance by Take That, all reverted back to Durrell Conservation, for species conservation (focus is on orangutans).
An anonymous donor – who will not be able to attend the event – donated the table he had bought to be auctioned, as all entries are sold out, this was the last chance to participate. With a seat for 10 people, and an initial bid of ₤ 5,000, bids occurred June 26-30 but the result has not yet been released.
In the Durrell archive this week, the memoir was a photo of Gerald and Lee Durrell with Durrell Academy students on a DESMAN (Durrell Endangered Species Management) course at the conservation academy.
To learn more about learning opportunities at Durrell Academy in the next DESMAN class, go to the link >> wildlife.durrell.org/training/courses/durrell-endangered-species-management-graduate-certificate-desman-2018/ <<
Closing the week Durrell's page warned about the illegal trade of species on the internet, especially that of tortoises such as Plowshare, the world's most endangered species.
One study identified 88 selling advertisements, of 126 tortoises, by 49 vendors. This practice has increased critically the levels of poaching and merchants use online platforms for this trade. Click here and learn more.
The Royal Marines this week unveiled the cover of the corporation's Globe & Laurel magazine edition. The edition, originally published in 1982, highlights the historical involvement of the corporation in the War of the Maldives and can be accessed through theroyalmarinescharity.org.uk/globe-laurel
Another publication on the Commando Challenge page, which takes place in October this year, is an opportunity to win event tickets.
When capturing the photo above, participants compete for three innings for the 5k circuit of the Commando Challenge. Learn more at: www.commandochallenge.co.uk/facebook-competition
And speaking of Commando Challenge, of course a date that could not be forgotten is International Mud Day!
Present in the final races of the Royal Marines, and in the challenges of Commando Challenge, the mud guarantees unforgettable memories for the participants. Who remembers Ambassador Royal Marine, Henry Cavill, in the 2016 Challenge?
Tickets for the 2017 Challenge, which takes place on October 14 and 15 are already on sale. Check out their website for further information: >> www.commandochallenge.co.uk <<

Adriana Rocha, CEO and Co-Founder, eCGlobal
What do you need to be an entrepreneur?
Courage not to be afraid of making mistakes, Vision to know where you want to go, Determination to stand-up when you fall, Passion to enchant other people and Leadership to guide your team.
What did inspire you to start your business?
The wish to change our Industry and to build something innovative and revolutionary that could impact positively the way companies understand and engage with their customers and consumers.
How did you finance it?
Personal finances.
Being Hispanic… Does it have any influence on your business?
Definitely. The fact that I am Latin and come from a region with so much diversity and rich in history in terms of social, economical and cultural challenges, it made me feel stronger and better prepare to act in the most adverse situations. Like we say in our country, Brazil, to be successful in life you need to have "jogo de cintura" (be a good dribbler).
In the face of adversity, how do you decide to keep going?
I am an extremely positive person. I always see obstacles and mistakes as opportunities for learning and growing. In times of trouble, I try to use intuition, have a positive attitude, analyze the situation from different angles, and always seek for solutions.
What is the biggest challenge your business has faced?
I believe that our biggest challenge has been to build our "dream team", creating a corporate culture that would attract the best talents and maintain them motivated, inspired and passionate for what they do, believing always that we can achieve our objectives.
If you could change one thing about your business, what would it be?
I would invest even more in training and development of our team.
What was your childhood ambition?
My childhood dream was to be a doctor like my father and be able to help other people. I opted for another professional career in marketing and information technology but my dream of being able to do more and help other less privilege people always continues. I know I can do much more in that sense.
Tell us about three entrepreneurs that you admire?
Iván Casas, my associate and co-founder of the Company. Iván is a dreamer, idealist and visionary. It was him who gave me the inspiration and force that I needed to arrive at this stage.
Norberto Odebrecht, founder of the Construction Company Odebrecht that started in my home city in Salvador, Bahia, in the 1940s. In 1991, Odebrecht was the first Brazilian Company to conduct a public work in the USA and became one of the largest corporate groups in the world.
Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Inc.
For business meetings: breakfast, lunch, or dinner?
What sacrifices on your personal life did you have to make in order to become a business success?
Many. One of the biggest is not having enough time to spend as much as I would like to with my three children.
What is your favorite quote?
Actually I love quotes, and this is one of my favorites: "When you say yes to others, make sure you are not saying no to yourself". Paulo Coelho, Brazilian writer.
Is it difficult to be unconventional?
For me is very easy and fun. I could never be a conventional person, following routines, and not stand out from the crowd, be different in what I do.
Biggest mistake made?
Trying to do many things at the same time and not been able to finish something well. Be able to define priorities and make things happen, step-by-step, within our own capabilities, was one of our great learning.
Do you consider yourself an innovator? Why?
Yes. To innovate is to constantly look for ways to create something new, foment ideas, anticipate the future, and develop something different that causes a positive impact to our Clients. That's what we do in our daily activities and that is why we have created a work environment conducive to foster innovation and ideas generation in each of our team members.

There is just something magical about her… At the beginning of the story, Ilias and the other students face the first serious test in their life, the final exams of the Academy.

In a move that had all the quickness of a tortoise courting a sloth USA has decided to renew Playing House. Congratulations to Jessica, Lennon and the entire talented cast! I wonder what finally made the execs sign off on the second season? The loyal and rabid fan base, the lack of television written by women for women that celebrates female friendship that doesn't end in a Housewife slapping fest or perhaps they just decided they couldn't let a great show go to Netflix? Whatever the reason and despite the glacially slow decision making Thank You USA and NBCUniversal.
Read Below for the deadline.com article on the VOD model for the second season.
UPDATED: Better late than ever — six months after USA Networks' Playing Houseended its 10-episode first season, the well received but low rated comedy series has been renewed for a second season with an eight-episode order. The news comes on the heels of USA announcing a pullout from original scripted comedy, with executing series Playing House, Benched and Sirens as the only remaining representatives of the genre. The move called into question the network's commitment to Playing House, which had soft ratings on the network but did OK on demand. That has helped the Universal Cable Prods.-produced series get renewed though a new windowing model where new episodes will premiere first on video-on-demand platforms, such as Xfinity and USA Now, and TV Everywhere before airing on the linear USA channel a week later.

Now that I have this new domain, I can empathize with my daughter's unease when she's subjected to an unfamiliar environment. Not sure where to start, lots of trial and error, afraid to make a mistake and subsequently making even more mistakes and overall COMPLETELY INTIMIDATED. I'm a toddler in my own domain.
I wish I had a mom to hold my hand through this.

Carl Wellenstein
Carl Wellenstein has over thirty years of experience working with companies and individuals in the US, UK and Middle East. His key strengths are in identifying the end result that needs to be achieved, gaining clarity on the status of the current situation, and creating and developing processes that take companies and individuals from where they are to where they want to be. Examples of where he has been successful in the past include: (1) developing audit processes for organizations that focus on the highest risk areas, (2) creating business processes that are effective and pragmatic, (3) developing and implementing recruiting and interviewing processes that increase an organization's ability to recruit the people the business needs, and (4) organizing and describing in simple steps the activities people in mid-career need to do to successfully make career changes.
My company focus:
- Small to mid-sized companies that are owner-managed or in early stage and need to make sure the leaders and managers they recruit are the right ones the business needs.
- Companies that want hands-on support in developing highly effective recruiting and interviewing processes and procedures that can be consistently followed.
- Businesses that are looking for an independent perspective from a financial expert who brings strong experience in different industries and personnel recruitment.
My executive focus:
- Executives, managers, professionals, and others in mid-career who want to make a strategic career change. This could be due to a desire to make a change or a need to make a change resulting from a reorganization, relocation, or career burnout in their current role.
- Strategic career advice relating to a specific situation or a longer term coaching relationship during a career transition in mid-career.

The other week, I received my home insurance bill which was somewhat higher than it used to be in recent years. Something about the amount made me do a double take, so I brought out the past two years' bills to compare.
My hunch was right. I called my home insurance provider. Probably following a script, the phone agent right away explained that home insurance rates have gone up in California due to an unusually high number of recent claims. But I persisted and here's how our conversation went:
Me: "Is there any other way I can get this amount down?"
Agent: "You have the loyalty discount and this and that….hmm…can I put you on hold while I check on something?"
Me: "Sure."
Agent: (after a few minutes) "Well, it looks like your auto insurance is also with us so you can also avail of the multi-policy discount…." (Typing) "So your new annual total is x or a savings of $350 a year."
Me: "Wow. Thank you so much!"
I love discounts and lower rates as much as the next person, but timing is also everything. Had that bill come at a hectic time, I might not have made that phone call. In the past, I have also had some negotiating success with my cell phone provider and my internet-cable provider. Mortgage and credit card interest rates are also negotiable, though the process is longer, with more paperwork, for the former.
Here's some sample one-liners I've used over the years:
"Is there any other way to reduce my rate/plan/package/bundle?"
"Is there anyone else who can help me?"
"It's not in my budget. How about I only get ____, instead of ____?"
"Can you offer any discounts if I pre-pay for a quarter or six months?"
"I've been a loyal customer for __ years. Is there anything else you can do to help me?"
And some general negotiating tips:
- Be polite. No one likes to help a rude person, or you might be given the run-around.
- Be persistent. So the wait time is long, especially on Monday mornings. Use a bluetooth piece or earbuds as you tackle other chores while you're on hold.
- Be firm. Don't be talked into adding more features, equipment or going for that upgrade. Remember your primary purpose–to negotiate a lower monthly bill, not upgrade to the 175-channel package or the international calling plan which includes China when you don't even know anyone there.
- Take good notes. Phone agents are humans too and make mistakes. Write down the confirmation number, the name of the agent, the new rate and the date/time you called. I usually write all this info down on the front page of the most recent bill. If you are 100 percent paperless, keep a little notebook just for this purpose.
Remember, these companies do want your business and want you to stay happy. It costs five times more to acquire a new customer than to retain a current one. Whether it's a customer myth or not, it's worth remembering.

Not far from Troy, In 2011 Alexander Grant was visiting friends in Saratoga when he left a party. He was from out of town and not familiar with the area yet he wandered off alone. He broke into an office injuring himself, stayed for a short time then left toward a wooded area and the creek in the opposite direction from town. He was found in the water a few days later.ReplyDelete
While I hope they find Matthew alive, I will not be shocked if his story ends like Alexander's. Since he's the son of the police captain, maybe law enforcement will investigate deeper?
The pattern and frequency of these seemingly identical accidental drownings is eerie and disturbing.
Alex's drowning in shallow water on the outskirts of Saratoga NY after police scattered the party he was attending had very VERY strange elements.ReplyDelete
I featured it in 'The Case of the Drowning Men' because it's a classic Smiley Face disappearance and death.

So I read your book last night....very well written and interesting.Delete
I live in saratoga which is why I knew about Alex. It was so bizarre so I looked into it at the time and became aware of Josh Szostak and Tony Dimarria as well. Seems like my area is a bit of a hot spot.....so my teenage son gets the same lectures that my daughter gets about staying safe.
It makes no sense that he would end up at the train station. It is set back from the road and deserted at that time of night. He walked right past the hospital, and there are several open gas stations near the train station entrance. If he was lost, or if someone was following him there were obvious safe places to go for help. Hypothermia can make people act weird, and often paradoxically feel hot, but if that were the case why would he break into an office building to seek shelter. Im curious, have you seen the video footage?
Thank you. Re: Alex Grant disappearance & drowning -- there was a significant amount of blood found in the medical clinic (he kicked in a window to enter its lobby) but I don't know that it was ever DNA tested. I believe it's him in the clinic's videotape and that he did this to trip an alarm there and with full knowledge he'd be filmed. (Which suggests he wasn't suffering the effects of hypothermia, such as disorientation and delirium, as later claimed by the same police who broke up the party Grant attended earlier that same night).Delete

It's auction time again. See the two stunning stones that are causing a stir this time around.
Jewelry lovers may not be able to afford the gems and jewels offered for sale at big auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's, but we can certainly gawk at the incredible display from afar. To that end, we give you two stunning pieces on the block for the upcoming Christie's New York sale on April 22nd: The Catherine the Great Emerald and The Emperor Maximilian Diamond.
The first stone comes in the guise of a large emerald and diamond brooch once worn by one of the world's most powerful and ruthless female leaders, Catherine II of Russia. The hexagonal-cut stone weighs between 60 and 70 carats and is surrounded by rose and old mine-cut diamonds. The estimated price for this little beauty clocks in at around $1 to $1.5 million.

Federer versus Woods
12 Comments:
- Chris T said...
Although I prefer tennis as a sport, I don't think necessarily Federer is better than Woods. I think both are supreme athletes, the best in their generation of players.
However, I believe both are so good at their particular sports, that the only way it is possible to answer this question, is at the end of both their careers. If either takes their open/grand slam wins past the current records, then they will be the chosen one. They are just too good that we need to look book in hindsight. At the moment it is just too difficult a questions.
- 27 April 2008 at 23:27
- Theo said...
These pics are awesome! As for the questions, I'd say, based on the recent gillette advert, that both of them are idiots... (but I suppose you could argue they're okay at their respective sports!)
- 28 April 2008 at 00:20
- Ross said...
I would have to go for Woods. Although Federer is an all time great, I really think that golf is a lot harder to dominate than tennis. Every week Tiger has to beat 200 odd people, all of which on their day are world class. When Fed wins a tournament he only beats 6 or 8 people.
In terms of changing their sports, Tiger has also had a more revolutionary effect than Fed. Before him golfers were overweight, white and more into the beers after the golf than the training before hand. It was also always an upper class sport which is now gaining appeal across the board largely because of Tiger.
Thats my argument for Tiger, what do you guys think? Two completely different sports of course, so it's almost a moot point anyways. Interesting to think about though!

5 Wimbledon titles in a row - it has to be Federer
- 1 May 2008 at 14:14
- greg said...
Well clearly Golf's harder than tennis to begin with and Woods was selected as 1997, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2007 Player of the Year by the PGA TOUR, the PGA of America, and the Golf Writers Association of America. And in terms of Major Titles he's won 4 US Masters, 2 US Opens, 3 British Opens and 4 PGA's......So that trumps 5 wimbledon tittles i think!

- Jonny D said...
Number 4 - incredible.
- 2 May 2008 at 14:33
- Topsy said...
Jonny d said it right..."5 Wimbledon titles in a row - it has to be Federer".
sure Fed has struggled a littel of late but Woods had an off patch too. What is great about Fed is that this entire time he has remained world number one and has in fact still performed to a bloody great standard.
Of course, Woods is a great and always will be but for a Swiss bloke to achieve what he has in much more impressive - I mean after he got that first cow for winning Wimbledon, he could have just settled down and become a dairy farmer!

Inbox: Could Braves acquire Prado or Frazier?
Are the Braves going to give a good look at acquiring Martin Prado or Todd Frazier to play third base?
-- Patrick S., Williamson, Ga.
Let's go back to the story Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos told this past weekend about the dangers of chasing price while ignoring the value previously set on a player. While with the Blue Jays in 2012, Anthopoulos had little interest in pursuing Francisco Cordero, but he opted to do so in early February, when Cordero's price dropped significantly and he was willing to sign a one-year, $4 million deal.
Are the Braves going to give a good look at acquiring Martin Prado or Todd Frazier to play third base?
-- Patrick S., Williamson, Ga.
Let's go back to the story Braves general manager Alex Anthopoulos told this past weekend about the dangers of chasing price while ignoring the value previously set on a player. While with the Blue Jays in 2012, Anthopoulos had little interest in pursuing Francisco Cordero, but he opted to do so in early February, when Cordero's price dropped significantly and he was willing to sign a one-year, $4 million deal.
Anthopoulos came to regret the deal, except for the fact it introduced him to Cordero, whom he repeatedly referred to as a great guy while providing this tale of caution.
:: Submit a question to the Braves Inbox ::
Look, there isn't anybody in the Braves' organization who has previously known Prado who wouldn't want him back. But he's owed $28.5 million over the next two seasons, and he's coming off a year when he played 37 games and underwent knee surgery.
Video: MIA@PHI: Prado slugs solo home run to left field
There might be a desire to reunite with Prado, but there is certainly not a need, with 24-year-old Johan Camargo already quite capable of handling third base on an everyday basis this year.
Atlanta has made it clear it is only seeking short-term options, as next year's plans for third base could include rising prospect Austin Riley or possibly a free-agent gem -- Manny Machado or Josh Donaldson.
As Spring Training draws near, there's at least reason to debate a one-year deal for Frazier, who hit 27 homers with a .772 OPS with the White Sox and Yankees last year. If the price becomes right, maybe there would be reason to hope that unlike Cordero, Frazier could prove to be more than just a "great guy." Or maybe a few months of solid productivity would be enough for Frazier to be flipped for a solid return before the non-waiver Trade Deadline.
Video: ALCS Gm3: Frazier belts opposite-field three-run jack
Or maybe the Braves should remain patient, as they stand more than just an addition away from becoming legit postseason contenders this season.
This year seems to be a perfect opportunity to give Camargo a chance to build on last year's success and show what he can do while playing on an everyday basis over an entire season.
Video: TEX@ATL: Camargo makes a slick play on the run
It certainly seems more prudent to make this evaluation now as opposed to next year, when -- with the development of some young starting pitchers and sound use of the $40-60 million they'll have to spend -- the Braves could indeed stand as a legit postseason contender in need of a now piece.
Why are the Braves holding on to Julio Teheran?
-- Scott H., Douglasville, Ga.
You might not be trading pennies on the dollar, but as Teheran comes off a season when he posted a 4.49 ERA over 32 starts, the potential return might be quarters on the dollar. It seems wise to give him another chance to restore some of his value, like he did in 2016. And it's not like Teheran's presence in the rotation will block a prospect, who absolutely needs to be in the Majors at the start of the season.
Video: PHI@ATL: Teheran gets out of the tough jam
If the Braves open the season with a rotation consisting of Teheran, Mike Foltynewicz, Brandon McCarthy, Luiz Gohara and Sean Newcomb, Lucas Sims could fill a bullpen spot and Max Fried could benefit from the development time he lost when he was unexpectedly rushed to the big league level last year.
Here's an optimal chain of events that could develop in the season's first few months: At least one of Foltynewicz, Gohara or Newcomb provides confidence they are ready to be a frontline starter. Then as Teheran is restoring his value, Fried, Mike Soroka and Kolby Allard are breezing through International League opponents and providing every reason to believe they are ready for the Majors.
We're all wise enough to know not everything will go right for each of the young starters this year. But it's certainly feasible to think by the end of this season, at least three of those pitchers will be deemed a better option than Teheran, who is owed $19 million over the next two seasons.
Remember when Teheran posted a 4.04 ERA in 2015, and I wrote there was a chance he'd never regain his previous trade value. Well, he did to some extent during the early portion of this '16 All-Star season. If he does so again during the early part of this year, it might be wise for the Braves to deal him.
Will Dustin Peterson have a chance to win an outfield spot during Spring Training?
-- Bruce F., Mobile
Looking ahead at potential spring battles, Peterson seems to stand as a long shot for one of the final bench spots. If Atlanta opens the season with an eight-man bullpen (there are just two off-days in the season's first 14 days) and the duo of Lane Adams and Preston Tucker platoons in left field until prospect Ronald Acuna arrives, it's hard to envision Peterson gaining one of the four available bench spots.
One of the spots will go to backup catcher Kurt Suzuki, and another will go to one of the members of the left-field platoon, Adams or Tucker. Charlie Culberson, who is out of options, could also serve as half of that platoon duo. But for now, we'll project him to open the season as a utility man. The battle for the final bench spot could be waged between Danny Santana, Jaff Decker and Peterson.
Mark Bowman has covered the Braves for MLB.com since 2001.

I'm sorry I haven't posted a MMGM in a while. I've been busy reading for critique partners and doing writing of my own. For the next couple of weeks, I will probably be around much as I have a novel to finish! I've been stalled for a bit and need to get jump started and get the ending all wrapped up.
I also had an amazing experience this past weekend! I was able to meet one of my absolute favorite authors. Someone who's own writing story compelled me to begin writing seriously. The one, the only -
Debbie Macomber!
She is such a personable, fun lady! I had a blast getting to know her a little better. This was also my first time at Schuler Books in Walker, Michigan. I so wish we had a Schuler Books in the Detroit area. My mom and I had a great time!
I wish you all an enjoyable end to the summer, and I hope to be back soon with more to share about books and writing!

Oceanic Whitetip Sharks, Carcharhinus longimanus
« Database Home Animalia Chordata Elasmobranchii Carcharhiniformes Carcharhinidae Carcharhinus longimanus
Description & Behavior
Oceanic whitetip sharks, Carcharhinus longimanus (Poey, 1861), aka white-tipped shark, whitetip oceanic shark and whitetip shark, are large stocky sharks with a huge, rounded first dorsal fins and long, wide-tipped pectoral fins. Their snouts are blunt and rounded; their upper teeth are triangular and they have an interdorsal ridge. Their dorsal side (upper) is usually dark gray with a bronze tinge, sometimes brown or blue; and their ventral (lower) side is white, sometimes with a yellow tinge and the tips of their first dorsal, pectorals, and lower lobe of their caudal (tail) fins are often white or have white spots. Their ventral surface of their pelvic fins, apices (tips) of anal and second dorsal fins, and ventral lobe of the caudal fin often have black spots and black or dusky saddle-marks are found in front of their second dorsal fin and along the upper margin of their caudal fin. They grow up to 4 m in total length with a maximum weight of 168 kg and age of 22 years.
Oceanic whitetip sharks are an oceanic deep-water species which sometimes comes close to shore. They are found from the surface to depths of at least 150 m. They are frequently accompanied by remora, Coryphaena, pilot fishes, and sea turtles.
One of the more interesting facets of the oceanic whitetip's behavior is its association with the shortfin pilot whale, Globicephala macrorhynchus, off Hawaii, as described by Jeremy Stafford-Deitsch (1988). Oceanic whitetips are often found swimming with big pods of pilot whales, and often follow the whales when they dive down into the depths. The reason whitetips hang around pilot whales is not known, but it is presumed that the sharks follow the whales to feed on squid found at depth by the whales. This behavior likely occurs in Hawaiian waters, and other areas where pilot whales and whitetips share habitat.
World Range & Habitat
Western Atlantic: Maine, USA to Argentina; also in Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean; Eastern Atlantic: Portugal to Gulf of Guinea; possibly occurring in the Mediterranean; Indo-Pacific: Red Sea and East Africa to the Hawaiian, Samoan, Tahiti and Tuamoto islands; Eastern Pacific: southern California, USA to Peru, including the Galapagos. Oceanic whitetip sharks are a highly migratory species.
Feeding Behavior (Ecology)
Oceanic whitetip sharks feed on oceanic bony fishes, including tuna and mahi-mahi (dolphinfish, Coryphaena hippurus), threadfins, stingrays, sea turtles, sea birds, gastropods (snails), squid, crustaceans, mammal carrion and sometimes even garbage.
Life History
There is a pronounced partial segregation by size and sex in some areas. Viviparous; litter size 1-15 pups; 60-65 cm at birth. Distinct pairing with embrace.
Conservation Status & Comments
This is an active, almost fearless shark also associated with human attacks. MarineBio considers this shark the most potentially dangerous after great whites, tiger, and bull sharks, especially for open-ocean divers. This species is likely responsible for open-ocean attacks following air or sea disasters. Oceanic whitetips can be very aggressive and unpredictable in the presence of potential prey. Sold commercially fresh, frozen, smoked, and dried-salted for human consumption; hides for leather, fins for shark fin soup, liver oil for vitamins, and processed into fishmeal.
This species is a widespread and common large pelagic shark of warm oceanic waters. It presumably has a low reproductive capacity, but is extremely abundant and wide-ranging and is subject to fishery pressure as a common bycatch species with tuna and other pelagic species. This bycatch is reportedly either inadequately reported or unrecorded. The fins are highly prized in trade although the carcass is often discarded. Fishery pressure is likely to persist, if not increase in future, and the impact of this fishing pressure is presently unknown.
The oceanic whitetip shark, Carcharhinus longimanus, is listed as Vulnerable (VU A2ad+3d+4ad) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species:
A taxon is Vulnerable when the best available evidence indicates that it meets any of the criteria A to E for Vulnerable (see Section V), and it is therefore considered to be facing a high risk of extinction in the wild.
