So few States in this country--and so few countries, if it comes to
that--are without a lover's leap that the very name has come to be a
by-word. In most of these places the disappointed ones seem to have gone
to elaborate and unusual pains to commit suicide, neglecting many easy
and equally appropriate methods. But while in some cases the legend has
been made to fit the place, there is no doubt that in many instances the
story antedated the arrival of the white men. The best known lovers'
leaps are those on the upper Mississippi, on the French Broad, Jump
Mountain, in Virginia, Jenny Jump Mountain, New Jersey, Mackinac,
Michigan, Monument Mountain, Massachusetts, on the Wissahickon, near
Philadelphia, Muscatine, Iowa, and Lefferts Height. There are many other
declivities,--also, that are scenes of leaps and adventures, such as the
Fawn's Leap, in Kaaterskill Clove; Rogers's Rock, on Lake George; the
rocks in Long Narrows, on the Juniata, where the ghost of Captain Jack,
the wild hunter of colonial days, still ranges; Campbell's Ledge,
Pittston, Pennsylvania, where its name-giver jumped off to escape
Indians; and Peabody's leap, of thirty feet, on Lake Champlain, where Tim
Peabody, a scout, escaped after killing a number of savages.
At Jump Mountain, near Lexington, Virginia, an Indian couple sprang off
because there were insuperable bars to their marriage.
At the rock on the Wissahickon a girl sought death because her lover was
untrue to her.
At Muscatine the cause of a maid's demise and that of her lover was the
severity of her father, who forbade the match because there was no war in
which the young man could prove his courage.
At Lefferts Height a girl stopped her recreant lover as he was on his way
to see her rival, and urging his horse to the edge of the bluff she
leaped with him into the air.
Monument Mountain, a picturesque height in the Berkshires, is faced on
its western side by a tall precipice, from which a girl flung herself
because the laws of her tribe forbade her marriage with a cousin to whom
she had plighted troth. She was buried where her body was found, and each
Indian as he passed the spot laid a stone on her grave--thus, in time,
forming a monument.
Purgatory, the chasm at Newport, Rhode Island, through which the sea
booms loudly after a storm, was a scene of self-sacrifice to a hopeless
love on the part of an Indian pair in a later century, though there is an
older tradition of the seizure of a guilty squaw, by no less a person
than the devil himself, who flung her from the cliff and dragged her soul
away as it left her body. His hoof-marks were formerly visible on the
At Hot Springs, North Carolina, two conspicuous cliffs are pointed out on
the right bank of the French Broad River: Paint Rock--where the
aborigines used to get ochre to smear their faces, and which they
decorated with hieroglyphics--and Lover's Leap. It is claimed that the
latter is the first in this country known to bear this sentimental and
tragically suggestive title. There are two traditions concerning it, one
being that an Indian girl was discovered at its top by hostiles who drove
her into the gulf below, the other relating to the wish of an Indian to
marry a girl of a tribe with which his own had been immemorially at war.
The match was opposed on both sides, so, instead of doing as most Indians
and some white men would do nowadays--marry the girl and let
reconciliation come in time,--he scaled the rock in her company and
leaped with her into the stream. They awoke as man and wife in the happy
hunting-ground.
In 1700 there lived in the village of Keoxa, below Frontenac, Minnesota,
on the Mississippi River, a Dakota girl named Winona (the First Born),
who was loved by a hunter in her tribe, and loved him in return. Her
friends commended to her affections a young chief who had valiantly
defended the village against an attack of hostiles, but Juliet would none
of this dusky Count de Paris, adhering faithfully to her Romeo. Unable to
move her by argument, her family at length drove her lover away, and used
other harsh measures to force her into a repugnant union, but she
replied, You are driving me to despair. I do not love this chief, and
cannot live with him. You are my father, my brothers, my relatives, yet
you drive from me the only man with whom I wish to be united. Alone he
ranges through the forest, with no one to build his lodge, none to spread
his blanket, none to wait on him. Soon you will have neither daughter,
sister, nor relative to torment with false professions. Blazing with
anger at this unsubmissive speech, her father declared that she should
marry the chief on that very day, but while the festival was in
preparation she stole to the top of the crag that has since been known as
Maiden's Rock, and there, four hundred feet above the heads of the
people, upbraided those who had formerly professed regard for her. Then
she began her death-song. Some of the men tried to scale the cliff and
avert the tragedy that it was evident would shortly be enacted, and her
father, his displeasure forgotten in an agony of apprehension, called to
her that he would no longer oppose her choice. She gave no heed to their
appeals, but, when the song was finished, walked to the edge of the rock,
leaped out, and rolled lifeless at the feet of her people.
When we say that the real name of Lover's Leap in Mackinac is
Mechenemockenungoqua, we trust that it will not be repeated. It has its
legend, however, as well as its name, for an Ojibway girl stood on this
spire of rock, watching for her lover after a battle had been fought and
her people were returning. Eagerly she scanned the faces of the braves as
their war-canoes swept by, but the face she looked for was not among
them. Her lover was at that moment tied to a tree, with an arrow in his
heart. As she looked at the boats a vision of his fate revealed itself,
and the dead man, floating toward her, beckoned. Her death-song sounded
in the ears of the men, but before they could reach her she had gone
swiftly to the verge, her hands extended, her eyes on vacancy, and her
spirit had met her lover's.
From this very rock, in olden time, leaped the red Eve when the red Adam
had been driven away by a devil who had fallen in love with her. Adam,
who was paddling by the shore, saw she was about to fall, rushed forward,
caught her, and saved her life. The law of gravitation in those days did
not act with such distressing promptitude as now. Manitou, hearing of
these doings, restored them to the island and banished the devil, who
fell to a world of evil spirits underground, where he became the father
of the white race, and has ever since persecuted the Indians by proxy.
On the same island of Mackinac the English had a fort, the garrison of
which was massacred in 1763. A sole survivor--a young officer named
Robinson--owed his life to a pretty half-breed who gave him hiding in a
secluded wigwam. As the spot assured him of safety, and the girl was his
only companion, they lived together as man and wife, rather happily, for
several years. When the fort had been built again, Robinson re-entered
the service, and appeared at head-quarters with a wife of his own color.
His Indian consort showed no jealousy. On the contrary, she consented to
live apart in a little house belonging to the station, on the cliff,
called Robinson's Folly. She did ask her lover to go there and sit with
her for an hour before they separated forever, and he granted this
request. While they stood at the edge of the rock she embraced him; then,
stepping back, with her arms still around his neck, she fell from the
cliff, dragging him with her, and both were killed. The edge of the rock
fell shortly after, carrying the house with it.
Matiwana, daughter of the chief of the Omahas, whose village was near the
mouth of Omaha Creek, married a faithless trader from St. Louis, who had
one wife already, and who returned to her, after an absence among his own
people, with a third, a woman of his own color. He coldly repelled the
Indian woman, though he promised to send her boy--and his--to the
settlements to be educated. She turned away with only a look, and a few
days later was found dead at the foot of a bluff near her home.
White Rocks, one hundred and fifty feet above Cheat River, in Fayette
County, Pennsylvania, were the favorite tryst of a handsome girl, the
daughter of a well-to-do farmer of that region, and a dashing fellow who
had gone into that country to hunt. They had many happy days there on the
hill together, but after making arrangements for the wedding they
quarrelled, nobody knew for what. One evening they met by accident on the
rocks, and appeared to be in formal talk when night came on and they
could no longer be seen. The girl did not return, and her father set off
with a search party to look for her. They found her, dead and mangled, at
the foot of the rocks. Her lover, in a fit of impatience, had pushed her
and she had staggered and fallen over. He fled at once, and, under a
changed name and changed appearance, eluded pursuit. When the War of the
Rebellion broke out, he entered the army and fought recklessly, for by
that time he had tired of life and hoped to die. But it was of no use. He
was only made captain for a bravery that he was not conscious of showing,
and the old remorse still preyed on him. It was after the war that
something took him back to Fayette County, and on a pleasant day he
climbed the rocks to take a last look at the scenes that had been
brightened by love and saddened by regret. He had not been long on its
summit when an irresistible impulse came upon him to leap down where the
girl had fallen, and atone with his own blood for the shedding of hers.
He gave way to this prompting, and the fall was fatal.
Some years before the outbreak of the Civil War a man with his wife and
daughter took up their residence in a log cabin at the foot of Sunrise
Rock, near Chattanooga, Tennessee. It seemed probable that they had known
better days, for the head of the household was notoriously useless in the
eyes of his neighbors, and was believed to get his living through
writin' or book-larnin', but he was so quiet and gentle that they never
upbraided him, and would sometimes, after making a call, wander into his
garden and casually weed it for him for an hour or so. The girl, Stella,
was a well-schooled, quick-witted, rosy-cheeked lass, whom all the
shaggy, big-jointed farmer lads of the neighborhood regarded with
hopeless admiration. A year or two after the settlement of the family it
began to be noticed that she was losing color and had an anxious look,
and when a friendly old farmer saw her talking in the lane with a lawyer
from Chattanooga, who wore broadcloth and had a gold watch, he was
puzzled that the city chap did not go home with her, but kissed his
hand to her as he turned away. Afterward the farmer met the pair again,
and while the girl smiled and said, Howdy, Uncle Joe? the lawyer turned
away and looked down the river. It was the last time that a smile was
seen on Stella's face. A few evenings later she was seen standing on
Sunrise Rock, with her look bent on Chattanooga. The shadow of night
crept up the cliff until only her figure stood in sunlight, with her hair
like a golden halo about her face. At that moment came on the wind the
sound of bells-wedding-bells. Pressing her hands to her ears, the girl
walked to the edge of the rock, and a few seconds later her lifeless form
rolled through the bushes at its foot into the road. At her funeral the
people came from far and near to offer sympathy to the mother, garbed in
black, and the father, with his hair turned white, but the lawyer from
Chattanooga was not there.
The name of Indian Maiden's Cliff--applied to a precipice that hangs
above the wild ravine of Stony Clove, in the Catskills--commemorates the
sequel to an elopement from her tribe of an Indian girl and her lover.
The parents and relatives had opposed the match with that fatal fatuity
that appears to be characteristic of story-book Indians, and as soon as
word of her flight came to the village they set off in chase. While
hurrying through the tangled wood the young couple were separated and the
girl found herself on the edge of the cliff. Farther advance was
impossible. Her pursuers were close behind. She must yield or die. She
chose not to yield, and, with a despairing cry, flung herself into the
shadows.
Similar to this is the tale of Lover's Leap in the dells of the Sioux,
among the Black Hills of South Dakota.
At New Milford, Connecticut, they show you Falls Mountain, with the cairn
erected by his tribe in 1735 to chief Waramaug, who wished to be buried
there, so that, when he was cold and lonely in the other life, he could
return to his body and muse on the lovely landscape that he so enjoyed.
The will-o'-the-wisp flickered on the mountain's edge at night, and
flecks of dew-vapor that floated from the wood by day were sometimes
thought to be the spirit of the chief. He had a daughter, Lillinonah,
whose story is related to Lover's Leap, on the riverward side of the
mountain. She had led to the camp a white man, who had been wandering
beside the Housatonic, ill and weak, vainly seeking a way out of the
wilderness, and, in spite of the dark looks that were cast at him and
her, she succeeded in making him, for that summer, a member of the tribe.
As the man grew strong with her care he grew happy and he fell in love.
In the autumn he said to her, I wish to see my people, and when I have
done so I will come back to you and we shall be man and wife. They
parted regretfully and the winter passed for the girl on leaden feet.
With spring came hope. The trails were open, and daily she watched for
her white lover. The summer came and went, and the autumn was there
again. She had grown pale and sad, and old Waramaug said to young Eagle
Feather, who had looked softly on her for many years, The girl sickens
in loneliness. You shall wed her. This is repeated to her, and that
evening she slips away to the river, enters a canoe, casts away the
paddle, and drifts down the stream. Slowly, at first, but faster and
faster, as the rapids begin to draw it, skims the boat, but above the
hoarse brawling of the waters she hears a song in a voice that she
knows--the merry troll of a light heart. The branches part at Lover's
Leap and her lover looks down upon her. The joyous glance of recognition
changes to a look of horror, for the boat is caught. The girl rises and
holds her arms toward him in agonized appeal. Life, at any cost! He, with
a cry, leaps into the flood as the canoe is passing. It lurches against a
rock and Lillinonah is thrown out. He reaches her. The falls bellow in
their ears. They take a last embrace, and two lives go out in the growing

Haleakala National Park is located on the Hawaiian island of Maui. The park is located near the town of Hana.
In the Visitor Center of Kipahulu tourists can obtain information on the most beautiful places for independent walks in the park. The area where the park is located today, was inhabited by people for hundreds of years. Tourists can learn really interesting details about the life of ancient people in this area. The park has some pristine forest areas that are prohibited for tourists, as there are carried out studies.
At the park visitors are offered a hiking trail called Pipiwai, which runs along a picturesque stream. Some tourists like to swim in the water pools formed by the flow, which are located in close proximity to the ocean. But often the flow causes floods that cause injury and even death.
Tourists should be prepared that tropical weather is humid, warm to hot depending on the season and prone to sudden heavy rains and winds. Whales, turtles, dolphins and seabirds can sometimes be seen from the shore of the ocean. Due to the heavy sailing conditions, you cannot safely enter the ocean in the area of Kipahulu.
In the area, you may camp. Tourists can experience the thrill of romance, but the campsite is not too comfortable. There is no water, but he has barbecues and tables that can be used. Camping is not allowed for more than three nights every thirty days.
Lovers of adventure can climb to the summit of Haleakala volcano. The scenery is magnificent with a variety of bright colors. Near the volcano can be seen different birds that live in the park.
Haleakala park has many interesting plants and animals. Here live Hawaiian geee, known as Nene. They are threatened by extinction.
At the beginning of new era, Polynesians colonized Hawaii. During the period from 660 to 1030, residents of Hawaii use the crater of the volcano Haleakala for their own needs.
In 1778, here was made first contact with Europeans by Hawaiians - here came Captain Cook. In the early nineteenth century, American missionaries and whalers arrived in the area. In 1828, three missionaries climbed the summit of Haleakala volcano. In the late nineteenth century, sugar production from sugar cane began in Kipahulu.
In 1888 opened Haleakala Ranch and cattle grazed on the slopes of the volcano crater. In the late nineteenth century Nene geese could no longer be found on the island of Maui because the immigrants brought cats, rats and mongoose, and because of habitat destruction of these birds .
In 1898 the territory of Hawaii was annexed to the United States, and in 1916, they founded the National Park Hawaii by resolution of Congress. It enters the region of Haleakala. In the thirties of the twentieth century way to the summit of the volcano was made.
From 1941 to 1946 was the U.S. military occupation of Haleakala. The park is closed to the public from 1941 to 1943. In the sixties, Hawaii National Park was renamed Haleakala National Park. This is the time when Nene geese came back on the island. In the seventies started fencing in the park to limit the entry of animals, which can disrupt the plant balance in the park. This work continues today.

(TORONTO – Jan. 5, 2012) The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) kicks off 2012 with five diverse exhibitions of contemporary art, celebrating the work of artists both established and emerging, local and international.
Taking over various spaces within the Gallery, several separate installations beginning this month and continuing into the spring will offer something for every contemporary art lover. Each exhibition offers an immersive experience, prompting viewers to reconsider their notions of time, space, and identity, or, in some cases, asking them to participate in the work directly.
After winning the Artes Mundi prize for "work that stimulates thinking about the human condition" in 2010, Bartana presented her latest project at the 2011 Venice Biennale — the first non-Polish artist to represent Poland at the major international art exhibition....And Europe Will Be Stunned, her film trilogy made between 2007 and 2011, will be on view for the first time in Canada in the AGO's Lind Gallery from Jan. 25 to April 1, 2012.
Featuring architecture and scenography by Oren Sagiv, ...And Europe Will Be Stunned raises questions about ideas of homeland and a sense of belonging. In the films — Mary Koszmary (Nightmares), Mur i Wieza (Wall and Tower) and Zamach (Assassination) — Bartana tests reactions to the unexpected return of the "long-unseen neighbour," telling a story of the Jewish Renaissance Movement in Poland. The trilogy also challenges the viewer's readiness to accept the other and the complexities of cultural integration in a culturally and politically unstable world.
...And Europe Will Be Stunned is accompanied by one of the artist's earlier video works, Trembling Time (2001), from the AGO's collection. Click here to listen to Bartana's conversation with Sławomir Sierakowski, the protagonist of ...And Europe Will Be Stunned, recorded on Jan. 26, 2012, in the AGO's Jackman Hall.
The Gallery will present a major exhibition of more than 100 works by the preeminent Canadian artist from March 3 to Aug. 12, 2012. Including work produced both under his name and through the N.E. Thing Co., IAIN BAXTER&: Works 1958–2011 offers the most comprehensive survey of BAXTER&'s career to date, comprising pioneering works of appropriation art, gallery-transforming installations, environmental art, and conceptually based photography. The exhibition affords a unique opportunity to recognize the artist's defining contribution to Canadian contemporary art.
Marking the return of the AGO's contemporary collection to the galleries for which it was intended, Watch this Space is an installation that re-imagines the collection and invites visitors to consider how the universal concept of space has inspired artists.
With a permanent collection of more than 80,000 works of art, the Art Gallery of Ontario is among the most distinguished art museums in North America. In 2008, with a stunning new design by world-renowned architect Frank Gehry, the AGO opened its doors to the public amid international acclaim. Architectural highlights include Galleria Italia, a gleaming showcase made of wood and glass running the length of an entire city block, along the Gallery's facade; and the feature staircase, spiralling up through the roof of Walker Court and into the new contemporary galleries above. From the extensive Group of Seven collection to the dramatic African art gallery; from the cutting-edge works in the contemporary tower to Peter Paul Rubens' masterpiece The Massacre of The Innocents, a highlight of the celebrated Thomson Collection, there is truly something for everyone at the Art Gallery of Ontario.

The talented singer Shibani Kashyap travels a great deal on account of her work. However, being a person who loves travelling, she yearns to learn more from every different country she visits and every culture she experiences. She considers this facet of her profession a boon. Recently, Shibani visited Egypt on an 11-day trip with her husband and a crew of 12 dancers to perform at the ICCR festival of India. As a lady who had the strength to pursue her passion as a career, Shibani did not shy away from drawing pleasure out of a business trip. Along with her husband and friends, she explored the hidden treasures and marvels of the ancient land, in between her shows. Here, she recalls some of the unforgettable experiences.
During her time off, Shibani managed to cover the most popular sites in and around Cairo and Alexandria. As any traveller who visits Egypt, the group's first stop was the pyramids, of which The Great Pyramid of Giza took their breath away. In spite of being the oldest and largest pyramid, it still is the only one that has remained largely intact. The Great Sphinx of Giza was another sight to behold. The limestone statue of the mythical creature with the body of a lion and head of a human, complete with the traditional Egyptian headgear sat regally in the bare desert.
The River Nile, considered by some to be the longest river in the world, was a serene, blue beauty. The group also visited the Museum of Egyptian Antiquities which is home to the most extensive collection of Egyptian artefacts and the treasures of the youngest and most powerful pharaoh, Tut. The Pyramid of Djoser, more commonly known as the step pyramid is a necropolis, but it looked as splendid against the bright blue sky as a palace would.
The last stop in Cairo was the diverse and intriguing The Khan Al-Khaneli. "The Khan Al-Khaneli market makes you feel like you've gone a thousand years back in time. We bought beautiful Egyptian souvenirs and amazing jewellery in this picturesque little market," Shibani tells us.
"I love how the Egyptians have preserved their history and culture. They have maintained their historic monuments really well and it is amazing how everything is still standing strong and beautiful even 4,000 years later. The place is nothing short of a marvel," she gushes in conclusion.

Bray Fly-Past By Rescue 116 In Honour Of Covid-19 Healthcare Workers
In the absence of this year's Bray Air Display due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Irish Coast Guard's Dublin-based helicopter Rescue 116 conducted a special fly-past to pay tribute to Ireland's frontline healthcare workers.
The Sikorsky S92 helicopter took to the skies over the Co Wicklow town at 3pm yesterday, Saturday 25 July, on the same afternoon it flew to the rescue of a family of four stranded by the tide at Sandymount.
Rob Tatten, general operations manager of CHC Ireland, which operates the coastguard's SAR helicopter service, was in attendance to make small presentation to Mr Paul Reid, chief executive of the HSE, and spoke before the event.
He said: "CHC, who operates the helicopter search and rescue contract on behalf of the Irish Coast Guard, has been taking part in the Bray Air Display every year. However due to the pandemic that wasn't possible this year.
"But with the organisers of the show we said could we do something to recognise the phenomenal work of our fellow frontline healthcare workers, who like us continue to work 24/7, 365 days a year.
"So today, Rescue 116, while out training, will do a fly-past to thank those workers while we also make a short presentation to Paul Reid and other frontline workers to say thank you on behalf of CHC, the Irish Coast Guard, the aviation community and Bray Air Display."

Rescue 116 Winchman Talks 'Life On The Wire' With Fellow SAR Experts
Vertical Magazine has shared video of a roundtable discussion on helicopter rescues from earlier this year, featuring a member of the Rescue 116 crew with the Irish Coast Guard.
Helicopter winchman Derek Everitt was in attendance at the HAI Heli-Expo in Anaheim, California this past January, where he took part in a talk with fellow professionals about their 'life on the wire'.
He was joined by Montana-based air rescue specialist Wil Milam, fire rescue pilot Tony Webber, Canadian rescuer Rob Munday, Las Vegas police flight instructor Dave Callen and hoist operator and paramedic Jason Connell.
The wide-ranging discussion, which can be seen in the video above, included their most memorable rescues — and some of the biggest mistakes they've learned from.
For Everitt, his most memorable "screw-up" was as young crewman with the Air Corps involved an unplanned landing at a mountain crossroads for his pilot to impress a high-ranking friend — with embarrassing results.

National Maritime Pollution Contingency Plan Is Published
The new National Maritime Oil & HNS Spill Contingency Plan (NMOSCP) will establish "a national framework and strategy to co-ordinate marine pollution preparedness and response", according to the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport.
Published yesterday (Friday 26 June), the plan aims to address all oil and HNS (hazardous and noxious substances) pollution in the waters of Ireland's Exclusive Economic Zone, whether it originates from ships, harbours, offshore units, oil/HNS handling facilities or land-based sources.
An "essential feature" of the plan is co-ordination between the Irish Coast Guard and relevant Government and non-State bodies, and it provides "a platform to co-ordinate responses in the context of the Major Emergency Management Framework and separately under the Strategic Emergency Management National Structures and Framework".
The department adds that the NMOSCP "will address Ireland's obligation under international convention in respect to preparedness and response to maritime pollution incidents", and will provide the coastguard with a benchmark for best international practice.
The contingency plan is available to download below, while various standard operating procedures can be found on gov.ie HERE.

Man Hospitalised With Serious Spinal Injuries After Dive Gone Wrong
The Irish Times reports that a 35-year-old man was airlifted to hospital with serious spinal injuries after a diving incident in Co Cork yesterday afternoon (Monday 1 June).
It's understood that the man was diving from rocks near Nohoval Cove, between Kinsale and Crosshaven, when his foot caught and he landed on rocks.
Kinsale RNLI and gardaí attended the scene along with the Irish Coast Guard, which airlifted the casualty on board the Shannon-based Rescue 115 helicopter to Cork University Hospital.
Elsewhere, the search resumed this morning for a five-year-old boy believed to have fallen from a dinghy on Lough Mask.
RTÉ News reports that gardaí and the coastguard are searching the west side of the lough near Toormakeady in Co Mayo.
'Mystery' RIB On Killiney Beach Among Callouts For Dun Laoghaire Coast Guard
On the same day that Dun Laoghaire Coast Guard assisted the local RNLI in aiding a boat in distress in Dublin Bay, the crew were also takes to investigate a mystery RIB on Killiney Beach.
It was quickly confirmed with locals, however, that the vessel had been beached the previous evening (Wednesday 27 May) and that the owner was aware and planned to reflect it at high tide.
More recently (Friday 29 May) Dun Laoghaire Coast Guard was tasked to get eyes on a jet ski reportedly broken down and adrift in Scotsman's Bay.
A team was despatched to the area with RNLI Dun Laoghaire already en route. On arrival, the jet ski was located with the casualties taken aboard the RNLI offshore boat and the jet ski towed back to Dun Laoghaire Harbour to awaiting coastguard members.
With warm and sunny weather set to continue throughout the June Bank Holiday weekend, the coastguard appeals to the public to adhere to the safety advice and act responsibly in or near the water.
Seapoint, Sandycove and Killiney beach within the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council area now have active lifeguards in place which the coastguard welcomes.
"With the weather staying warm and dry over the Bank Holiday this weekend, we remind everyone to keep within your 5km distance from home, keep two metres from others and dial 112 or use VHF Channel 16 if someone is in difficulty in or near water."
Irish Coast Guard's 'Small Part' In Historic SpaceX Launch Plans
The Irish Coast Guard was on standby for last night's planned SpaceX launch, which was scrubbed at the final hour due to poor weather conditions.
The Falcon 9 rocket had been due to lift off from Kennedy Space Centre in Florida last night (Wednesday 27 May) with the first US launch of American astronauts in nine years to the International Space Station.
And with the flight path taking taking the SpaceX mission — the first with humans on a commercial spacecraft — around the Atlantic and just past Ireland, the coastguard here was ready to respond if the mission were aborted off Irish shores. The Irish Examiner has much more HERE.
At 21:30 the first launch of humans aboard a commercial spacecraft to the ISS will take place & the Irish Coast Guard is playing a very small part.

While the closing weather window put paid to last night's launch with minutes to go, it's possible NASA and SpaceX will try again this Saturday evening 30 May — and it's expected the Irish Coast Guard will remain just as vigilant.

Wellspring Community Church | Questions?
This is the most commonly asked question we receive. We actually have a running joke about how difficult it is to answer! The difficulty in answering the question lies in who's asking it. Someone with a life-long religious background is looking for different information than someone who has rarely attended church.
We can describe the church in two ways: theologically (what we believe about God and the Bible), and culturally (what our approach to style and methods is).
We believe the Bible is our standard for faith and practice, that God is real, eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present. We believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that by His sacrifice on the cross and resurrection He made a way for all that believe to be forgiven and receive eternal life.
You can read our What We Believe or our Statement of Faith for greater detail.
Culturally: This is where we are somewhat unique. We believe that Biblical principles are unchanging but that their application in life and culture change. The Psalms of the Bible kept the words but not the music, because music would change.
The What to Expect page on this site provides some information about our style and culture.
We believe that people are at different places in their spiritual journey and we make it our goal to acknowledge and make room for that process.
What denomination/organization are you a part of?
First, we are incorporated as a fully autonomous charitable organization recognized by the Canadian Federal Government. As such, we have a full constitution and bylaws for governance.
Second, we are members of the Canadian Fellowship of Churches and Ministers (CFCM), a Christian fellowship that has existed since the late 1960's and is also registered with the Government of Canada.
Our pastoral staff are ordained and/or licensed ministers under CFCM and as such have an accountability structure and government registration through them.

Tesla delivered nearly 1 million EVs in 2021
Jon Fingas
·Weekend Editor
Tesla's sales success in 2021 continued right to the very end of the year. The company has revealed that it delivered 936,172 electric cars in 2021, about 308,600 of them in the fourth quarter. While that isn't the magic 1 million figure the company might have hoped for, it's close — and nearly double the 499,550 Tesla handed to customers in 2020.
The year gone by wasn't stellar for the Model S and Model X. Deliveries of those higher-end vehicles dropped by more than half in 2021, from 57,039 cars to 24,964. That wasn't a complete shock, though, as many customers wanted to (or had to) wait for S and X revamps that weren't slated to ship until spring, including the high-performance Plaid variants.
The delivery numbers are significant given chip shortages that have plagued the automotive industry and even led Tesla to ship some cars without USB ports. The company is also poised to keep growing between the planned Cybertruck launch in 2022 and new factories in the Austin and the Berlin areas.
This trajectory isn't guaranteed, however. Tesla had a mixed 2021 that included product delays (including the Cybertruck and Semi), gradual price hikes and a string of recalls, including one in December that targeted half a million vehicles with camera and trunk flaws. There are concerns Tesla's growing reputation for build quality issues could weigh the company down. That's also excluding competitive threats — Tesla will have to fend off Ford's F-150 Lightning, the Cadillac Lyriq, the Mercedes EQA and other EVs from big-name rivals. Elon Musk's outfit is in a good position given its existing performance, but the market could change quickly.

4 Films to watch ahead of awards season
Here are the four biggest contenders this awards season that you should watch to keep up with the conversation.


How can I teach safety without scaring my child?
ASK THE EXPERT: Q: In our area there was a concern that a strange man was approaching and talking to children at a local playground. The report was that he was trying to lure them away from the playground. The police were called and, though there was no one arrested they issued a general warning that we should all be careful in the local area and make sure to warn our children of the dangers from strangers and so on.
My question is: how much you should talk to children about "stranger danger". I have two girls aged six and eight and, generally, they are happy children. I have told them that they should only talk to people they know and that there are bad people out there. My older girl is a little bit of the anxious type and she tends to worry about things. She somehow picked up on the news about the playground and is now worried about going out. How much should I talk to her about things? I don't want to scare her but I do want her to be safe.
Probably the greatest fear for any parent is that our children will come to some harm and we will not be able to protect them. The possibility of child abduction or harm from strangers is probably a worst nightmare for many parents. When such cases happen they are particularly tragic and draw a lot of media attention and sympathy from families. However, we should assess these risks realistically and put these fears in context. Though incidents of child abduction or harm from strangers receive a lot of media attention, they are remarkably rare events, particularly when compared with other dangers. For example, in the last 20 years in Ireland and the UK, there has only been a handful of child abductions, yet in the same time many thousands of children have been killed or seriously injured in road traffic incidents, either as pedestrians or passengers. In simple terms, this means that children are thousands of times more likely to be harmed on the road than to be abducted and harmed by a stranger.
Of course, it makes sense to warn children of risks and to take practical steps to keep them safe, but we must be sensible and address the main risks that they are really facing.
In your question you raise the important issue of not scaring children when you warn them of dangers. This is an important issue as "scare tactics" are not as effective as positive safety messages and can make sensitive children who are prone to being nervous scared of doing everyday things. While you do want to let children know of dangers, you need to counterbalance this with a more positive message of keeping safe. For example, rather than telling children that there are "bad people" out there who can harm you, it is better to emphasise a safety message such as they should never go anywhere or take anything from a stranger, or to remind them that "mummy and daddy will only send someone they know to collect you" or that they should never go anywhere different without asking mummy or daddy first.
In addition, simple vigilance as a parent will make the most difference in ensuring young children's safety. Knowing where they are at all times, making sure they are with trusted adults and children, making sure to collect them at agreed times, having rules about being in at a certain time and so on, are all parenting habits that will keep young children safe.
It is also important to consider each of your children as individuals in order to decide what parenting they need in order to be safe. While most children have a natural shyness from strangers, some children are more impulsive and can have little natural fear of danger, especially when they are younger. As a result, these children can be more likely to "wander off" or "go off with anyone" and could therefore be at more risk. As a result these children need much more parental supervision, as well as frequent warnings of danger and constant reminders of keeping safe. Luckily, many of these impulsive traits can fade as they get older and they can take on parents' warnings.
On the other hand, it is important to adopt a different approach with a child who is more naturally nervous or anxious, like your older daughter. Spending too much time reminding of them of danger may overwhelm them with anxiety and may be unnecessary as their natural fears would mean they are going to stay away from strangers anyway. In this situation, it may be more effective to talk through the issues in a more balanced way with your daughter. First, listen carefully to what she knows already about what happened and what her fears are. If she says she is nervous about going out, remind her of all the safety strategies she is taking such as staying with friends, coming in on time, as well as all the steps she could take if she felt in danger such as walking away, contacting you, going to someone trustworthy such as a teacher and so on. Finally, a core part of the school curriculum is teaching children about road and personal safety. Check in with your children's school about the issue and when they are teaching the subject to your children – this is a good time for you to talk through the issue at home as well. In particular, the Stay Safe programme is taught throughout schools in Ireland and this teaches children in an age-appropriate way about protecting themselves from bullying child abuse and victimisation - the key message being "saying no and telling someone". The Stay Safe website at staysafe.iedescribes the programme and there is an excellent free guide for parents that describes in very practical terms how you can keep your own children safe.

8 How the hell does an overweight person lose weight without trying over Christmas?


Virginia Commonwealth University students participate in the archaeological field school at Ferry Farm in Summer 2013.
Scanning an American Indian chipped stone tool at George Washington's Ferry Farm.
Archaeologists working at Ferry Farm in Fredericksburg, Virginia, are actively excavating the site where George Washington spent his childhood, beginning at age six. Since 2012, Virginia Commonwealth (VCU) students have joined with George Washington Foundation archaeologists to uncover traces of young George, his mother Mary, and the rest of their family, as well as that of the Washington family's enslaved servants. Archaeologists here have also found evidence of the American Indians who lived on this landscape beginning 10,000 years ago, Union encampments associated with the American Civil War, and even the families who lived here above the banks of the Rappahannock River into the 20th century. The Virtual Curation Laboratory at VCU has created 3D digital models and printed resin replicas of artifacts from all major time periods revealed through archaeology at George Washington's Ferry Farm.


This is where it all started. Many years ago, our Russian Cameraman got together all the pretty gills he could find in the city and got them all in a room to wrestle each other. And boy, did they ever! Real amateur girly style wrestling with these untrained females going at each other just like you would imagine girls next door would. This is the first release of this material is it is completely different from anything else we've released. As a special bonus, we also uncovered 15 real catfights on amateur video that at the time we felt were too violent to show, but we changed our minds. So now you get to see them. Enjoy!

Russia is consistently portrayed in the Western media as the "aggressor" amid the ongoing Ukrainian conflict; however, it is clear through overt moves by NATO's proxy regime in Kiev, that attempts are being made to intentionally provoke, not defend against Moscow's ire.
Shelling populated centers and raiding villages far from its tenuous base of support does not appear to be Kiev "defending itself," nor in line with the "international norms" frequently cited by Washington, London, and Brussels when justifying "humanitarian interventions" elsewhere throughout the world.

This is my second Muller Dynamo testing unit that I built to examine the coil to magnet ratio and the look at the efficiency of the design. I show it here partially constructed and running off energy stored in a super capacitor. I was able to return the generator energy back to the input today which usually does not work on other pulse motors that I have built.. In this video the motor is being driven by one pair of coils and three other pairs are generating. The coil to magnet ratio on this unit is what RomeroUK used. Five more sets of coils are to be installed to complete the 8 magnets to 9 pairs of coils design.

Song Sources: I Am Not in Control
This is part of an ongoing series about our recordings. To read more in this series, click on the category "Song Sources: Stories behind the recordings."
This is a love song on an album about fear, and so you're correct to be a little suspicious of it.
On the one hand it provides some relief from the heavy subject matter surrounding it — the track before it is "Hold Tight," and the song after it is about a couple being separated by war. But the genesis of this song is something very serious to me, which is my deep fear of not being in control of myself. (I'm perfectly happy not being in control of other things. Freedom from responsibility is the best.) I've never been drunk, for instance, for much the same reason. I was prescribed Valium one time when I hurt my back, took one, and decided that I should probably avoid ever doing it again.
In this case the song is about not being in control of yourself because of your love for someone else. It's both romantic and dangerous.
I used "yourself" and "your" in that last paragraph as a defense mechanism. I mean myself and my.
Despite the popular depiction of fears having some traumatic origin, I doubt there's anything that ever happened to me to trigger this. It's not a phobia or anything. I have had jobs where I had to watch what I say, but I remember in high school being in … well, social situations where other people did not share the same fear and even sought out ways to lose control of themselves. So it goes back further than my adult life. I wasn't tied up in a box by some kids and thrown in my locker at school or anything like that. Maybe it's just my general level of anxiety.
The spark for this song wasn't this particular aspect of my anxiety but rather the kind of paradox that loving someone deeply presents: that you can't imagine your life without them, but you still have to be your own person. Many people are scared of some aspect of this. Some people of commitment, some people of rejection, and in my case simply of the proposition that you have to somehow let go of yourself.
I kept using "you" in that paragraph, too. Of course I mean "I."
No regrets of course. It's just a description of a fear, set to the prettiest and most vulnerable sounds I could muster.
I made a video for this one, but of course you can still get it on Bandcamp or elsewhere.
The yarn handwriting lyric video.
Verse: | D Bm | G
My hands are not on the wheel
You'll be the one to steer
| Bm | F#m
I am not in control
| G | D
When you're near
Your hands are drawing the thread
You'll be my soul and breath
In a river muddy and wild
Give in and shake like a child
The final lyrics are close to the notes I started with when brainstorming metaphors. The wheel is a ship's wheel. The second verse refers to the Fates of Greek mythology of course, which is as clever as things get here. I don't record many songs that aren't story songs, especially not songs that end up on Midway Fair albums; sometimes the story is not readily apparent, but in this case, the lyrics aren't meant to convey a narrative but are only literal statements about not being in control. My English professors might argue that there's a character here and that character is story, but I won't pretend.
For contemplative songs, I've always liked the blues lyric form: It gives the sense that a thought has occurred to the narrator, and they have to repeat it before they can complete the thought.
The chorus was intentionally as simple as I could make it to get the point across.
The lyrical style is unusual for me, but singing an entire song in falsetto wasn't even something I would have considered on previous albums, especially a Midway Fair album. It doesn't have much of a precedent in folk music (except some blues singers), and in indie folk, it generally invites comparisons to Bon Iver. In this case the influence was "Who Was That Masked Man?" on Van Morrison's Vedon Fleece.
I was about to write that discussing the subtle difference here between falsetto types might be boring, but exhaustive detail is kind of the point of Song Sources. There are a few different templates for famous falsetto voices to pull from:
Bon Iver has a very modern, and even messy, take on it, where he sings with a very open and round sound to me, and he makes heavy use of autotune.
Brian Wilson was the benchmark for a very pretty sounding falsetto, and he clearly took a bit from doo wop artists and from Frankie Valli, who has an edge in his voice.
Van Morrison falls into this latter category, although it's hard to tell if it's intentional or if his voice just always has this edge. I prefer it to sound a little harsh, as I think it adds a little depth.
For the recording, I stacked the falsetto to add a little more depth; aside from my general distaste for obvious autotune, it's intentionally avoided here not just to discourage the comparison to Bon Iver but because autotuning stacked vocals makes them sound smaller. You want the buildup of little mistakes, it's what makes it sound like "more."
This is a rare recording that was fairly complete when the drums were laid down. I had already done the guitar, bass, and piano, and Chris picked this one out of a pile of demos and added the drums. They spruce up the recording quite a bit. He's playing surprisingly hard during the verses, and the snare echo was a very interesting style choice. (It also makes the song in some ways: It's so important that during live shows, Tim will play the snare with a faked echo to duplicate the effect.)
We made sure to leave as much space as possible during the choruses, and I redid the bass and electric guitars after Chris finished the drum part. The piano and rhythm guitar, uncharacteristically, were good enough to keep from the demo.
There's a sliding part on the bass in the verses, typically when the bass is switching from the D to Bm chords. It adds some nice subtle movement, and I suppose every once in a file I can find something cool to do on the bass that almost qualifies as one of the song's hooks if someone is listening on something they can hear it on.
The technical bits are substantially the same as other tracks on the album: One the electric guitar is the Don Quixotecaster through the Sakura amp, miced with a ribbon, and with the Cardinal Harmonic tremolo on (in harmonic mode). The other electric guitar is the red telecaster through the Tone King imperial, also miced with a ribbon. The delay is from the El Capistan. The acoustic was the Crafters of Tennessee D-18 copy played with a pick. The piano is just the default patch in my Roland FP5 — I didn't record it as midi during the demo and didn't rerecord it. It's doing its job is the best I can say. The bass was direct to the interface.

I see what is building in this album as you begin revealing it. So far i am seriously impressed and considering what you think of your work aside from being your father, a totally unbiased opinion is that i have no idea from where your degree of talent originated, but i have a real good notion it had to do with keeping in control. Success only comes from hard work and dedication you prove that more each new album you release. It's high time the world gets clued in.

Dirk Meyer Rumored TO Take Over As CEO At AMD. But When?
Current AMD CEO Hector Ruiz in more than unlikely to be sitting in the same chair by this time next year. The bad financial results rocking the AMD boat require a change n the top management department and rumor has it that Dirk Meyer will take over the job.
At present time Meyer (45) is AMD President and COO.
According to TheStreet.com, the deal has already been signed and sealed and it's only a matter of time until Ruiz steps down:
"Dirk has always been slotted for being the new CEO. That's been clear since his nomination as president and COO" in January 2006, says the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "The question as to when that transition effectively takes place is really a matter of Hector's timing and the board's."
Ruiz had a 5-year contract with AMD, which expired in April 2007 and was renewed for another year until April 26, 2008. There have been no public demands that Ruiz leave his seat for the time being, so chances are that the switch would be made next spring.
AMD was considered to have a bright future ahead of it ever since the company merged with graphics chip maker ATI. However, the two companies failed to meet the (maybe too optimistic) expectations, while rivals Intel and nVidia strengthen their positions on the market and had some very nice financial reports.
Given the conditions, it was no wonder that some of AMD's executives chose to seek their fortune elsewhere. The first one to leave the company was ATI's Dave Orton in July 2007, followed by AMD executive VP Henri Richard one month later.

Srihari will look superb as Sher Khan: Sonu Sood
Mar 5, 2013 Subhash K.Jha
Mumbai, March 6 (IANS) Actor Sonu Sood has no regrets that he had to opt out of the "Zanjeer" remake. He wishes Srihari, who has replaced him in the project, good luck, and is confident the southern actor will look "superb" in the role of Sher Khan.
"Srihari is a wonderful actor and he will look superb as Sher Khan in 'Zanjeer'," said Sonu.
"Every role has its own destiny. I guess I was not destined to play Sher Khan. I've no regrets. I just want the film to do really well for my brother (director) Apoorva Lakhia," he added.
A prominent lead actor of Telugu cinema and also an interesting crossover actor who likes to play character roles when required, Srihari was roped in on the recommendation of Ram Charan Teja, who plays the lead role in "Zanjeer", a remake of the 1973 film of the same name.
The film's current schedule involving busy bigwigs Sanjay Dutt, Priyanka Chopra and Ramcharan, was placed into crisis with Sonu's leg injury.
"Director Apoorva Lakhia had two choices. He could either cancel the schedule which would've meant heavy losses as the co-ordinated dates of these busy stars would've been near-impossible to obtain, or he could replace Sonu Sood. Lakhia opted for the latter option, but only after taking Sonu into confidence," said a source close to the project.
The director met Sood Saturday and explained his predicament. Sonu agreed to opt out without a moment's hesitation.
Interestingly, Srihari has played a character named Sher Khan earlier in the Telugu blockbuster "Magadheera", which also starred Sonu.

gleaning: the practice of gathering unharvested produce that farmers or other landowners either neglected or intentionally left behind but is then available to feed the hungry. Referenced in several Old Testament passages.
Two dozen gleaners—not to be confused with foragers or dumpster divers—showed up for the second annual International Gleaners Symposium, held recently at the Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta. They were there to discuss the finer points of gathering neglected foodstuffs from roadsides, back yards, and other nonpublic places, and then donating them to the hungry.
The gleaners sat in a classroom, drinking coffee and eating store-bought grapes. They were awaiting remarks from Ashley Pruitt, a local lawyer specializing in civil litigation, who had volunteered to explain the surprising number of ways that one can run afoul of the law while picking unharvested fruits and nuts for homeless shelters and food banks, as more than four hundred volunteer groups in the United States now do.
I had no epiphany. No transcendental enlightenment. At least not while I was walking down the long and verdant corridors of cornrows swaying and swishing like some cosmic leafed-out beaded curtains. I was there to work, to glean ripe sweet corn, one cob at a time… twist and tug, twist and tug, twist and tug… until my little corner of the field was harvested.
I was one of 20+volunteer gleaners who in two hours harvested over 1,700 pounds of fresh corn that would've otherwise been plowed under. We represented a wide swathe of community who'd come out to do some good work on an achingly beautiful late-summer morning. And Jamie O'Gorman, our leader and the coordinator of Island Grown Gleaning (IGG) (https://www.islandgrown.org/gleaning) made short order of getting the corn into the hands of school cafeteria directors to help support healthier lunches for students. From that one farm (www.morninggloryfarm.com) the bounty was quickly distributed as donations first to the schools and then to elder centers, recovery and employment programs and even the county jail. IGG manages gleans that have donated over 12,000 pounds of fresh veggies like greens, carrots, beets, beans, corn and squashes, in this growing season alone.
In Deuteronomy 24:19-22 from the Torah portion, Ki Tetzei, three times God commands farmers to leave food in their fields for "… the stranger, the fatherless and the widow." Rabbi Caryn Broitman of the Martha's Vineyard Hebrew Center interprets "the stranger" as today's immigrants. "The fatherless" as children "and the widow" as the elderly and the unemployed because historically, a widow was one who had no ability or access due to circumstances, to make a living on their own. Gleaning quite literally connects the margins of the fields to the people who are marginalized in our food systems, one harvest at a time.
Today, good whole food is being plowed under while there's a battle raging out there about highly processed, sugared and fatty foods generally served to students in school systems. The frightening epidemic of childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes is so disturbing and seemingly ironic, against the backdrop of the USDA's recently released stats on the number of children in our country who were "food insecure" in 2010:16.2 million. Food (re)distribution, access and costs are complex, multi-dimensional issues. But it's the kind of food and the kind of education we provide for our children that raises awareness, creates change and solutions to our problems.
There are many legitimate reasons (beyond Biblical commandments) why a farm will have food left in its peripheries, vulnerable to being tilled under and they are not necessarily reflections of bad or wasteful farming practices. Frequently it's situational, such as a lack or loss of labor or severe and dramatic changing weather patterns. On larger farms, mechanized harvesting techniques can skip over produce. Blemishes on tomatoes for example, can deem them as seconds, and hence not economically valuable enough for a farmer to harvest whilst they will be perfectly good, healthy and safe to eat or to process or put up for later. The potential to help feed the margins is all in the farms. It's a matter of connecting the dots to get it to them.
On U.S. farms, gleaning is making a comeback, as a national anti-hunger organization has turned to the ancient practice to help feed the poor. And it also gives farmers a way to use produce that would otherwise be wasted.
In the Old Testament, farmers are told not to pick their fields and vineyards clean, but instead to leave the edges for orphans, widows and travelers. In the modern day, gleaning is more about preventing would-be waste.
Food gets left in the field for all kinds of reasons. Two big ones are that mechanical harvesting misses a lot — and sometimes the crops aren't pretty enough for supermarket shelves.
"The statistics are that 96 billion pounds of food are left — this is pre-consumer food — goes to waste in this country," says Linda Tozer of the Society of St. Andrew, an organization that coordinates farmers around the Southeast and out West.
