Be equipped with life saving first aid skills and knowledge in case of an emergency of needing to preserve life.
Firstly look for any dangers and if necessary consider moving the casualty.
Assess responsiveness by asking, "Are you OK?" and tapping the casualty on an uninjured part.
Send someone to get help if the casualty is unresponsive or seriously ill or injured.
If you are not sure whether the emergency services are needed, call anyway; they can help you decide (includes Westpac helicopter services).
Give whatever details you can regarding the circumstances.
Open the airway – tilt their head back by placing your hands under their chin and on the forehead. During unconsciousness the most common cause of airway occlusion is the tongue.
After establishing that the airway is clear and open, check for breathing. If the breathing is slow, the rescuer might need to give assisted breathing.
Feel – for chest movement (breathing, by placing your hand on the person's chest and feeling for breath on your cheek when exhaling).
If no breathing is present, pinch the nose, take a deep breath and place your mouth over theirs, trying to get a good seal and blow (slowly). You should notice their chest rise and fall.
To determine circulation we can check for "signs of life".
Pulse – if they have one – carotid artery in the neck beside the Adams apple.
For unconscious casualties. It helps to maintain an open airway and allows vomit and other fluid to drain freely from the mouth.
General cares are the routine actions you must consider for every ill or injured casualty.
These can be remembered from the letters P RRR T. General cares are provided throughout your management. Protection and reassurance start at the very beginning of your contact.
Consider their Temperature; they could need covering, insulation from the ground, active warming, or cooling.
breathing and circulation, which were identified during the Drs ABC cycle.
Although some additional problems will be obvious at first glance, the secondary survey will involve questioning and occasionally physical examination of the casualty.
Give specific emergency care for specific illnesses or injuries identified during a secondary survey (or earlier).
An abrasion is a graze of the skin. Clean the area thoroughly with non fluffy cloth (gauze is best) and water. Remove any gritty particles and dab with antiseptic solution. Apply a dressing and bandage or Band Aid, so that air can get to the skin and aid the healing process, yet keep it clean and dry.
If a body part has been amputated always call for help. Manage bleeding using pressure and elevation.
Wrap the bag in a towel, then place in ice.
Angina is the pain felt when there is temporarily insufficient blood flow to the heart muscle to meet the heart's needs.
Most people who have a history of angina carry angina spray with the (a red and white bottle), which is sprayed under the tongue. Disprin can also be placed under the tongue to dissolve. Rest the person and loosen any tight clothing. If it doesn't ease within 10 minutes, call for help.
A bruise is bleeding into the tissues. Specific treatment is not necessary unless there is severe bruising around a joint. A cold compress firmly bandaged into place will usually ease pain. Massaging oil is not recommended.
Burns are generally caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, cold or friction. In serious burns, there may be no pain because the nerve endings have been damaged.
This is complete or partial unconsciousness caused by a blow to the head. It should always be treated very seriously, whether or not there is a visible injury.
There may be memory loss, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, headache or blurred vision. If the casualty is unconscious, maintain an open airway, keep them still as much as possible until help arrives. Give nothing via the mouth. If they start to vomit, roll into the recovery position.
selves to safety. Once out of the water, stretch the leg and pulling toes towards the head and massage vigorously. Apply heat if possible.
released suddenly into the system.
If the person has been crushed for more than one hour they should NOT be released until medical help arrives to treat the toxins.
For a casualty who has been crushed and can safely be released within one hour, treat their injuries as able. Seek medical help.
If small, wash with water and dry gently. Apply an adhesive dressing or bandage.
If the cut is bleeding freely, apply firm pressure over the wound with a clean dressing.
A severe cut will bleed less freely if elevated and pressure applied. Seek medical assistance.
A dislocation occurs when bones which meet at a joint are moved from their normal position. Common joints include: shoulder, knee, elbow and fingers.
Usually there is severe pain, deformity and swelling. Support the area in its injured position, apply a cold pack to reduce swelling and call for medical help.
Do NOT try to relocate the joint.
Send someone for medical assistance immediately. Get the person out of the water, trying to keep the mouth clear. Lay them on the ground on their back and open the airway. Pinch the nose and give a breath. The chest should rise and fall. Keep giving them a breath every 5 seconds, (one every 4 seconds for a child), until the person breathes and maintains good colour.
Fainting is a brief loss of consciousness caused by a temporary decrease in the flow of blood to the brain. Lie the person down and raise their legs. Loosen any tight clothing and call for help if they remain unconscious for more than 5 minutes.
Push the barb right through, cut off the tip/eye and pull through.
Use an eye bath or bowl and try to float the object (eg, grit) out. Or gently pull the upper lid over the lower lid and blink lots. If this doesn't work, place a soft pad over the eye and seek medical help.
If a larger object is in there, do NOT pull it out. Reassure the person and seek help.
Try pouring in warm water or olive oil, as this may float the object out. If not successful, do not poke at it, seek medical help.
A fracture is a break or crack in the bone. It may be identified by; pain at the site, swelling, deformity, inability to use the area or blood loss (internal or external).
Treat the bleeding with pressure, cover the bone if exposed, immobilise the injured area, treat for shock and call for medical assistance.
pale sweaty skin, headache, dizziness, feeling sick, muscle cramps, body temperature normal (or near normal).
Rest in a cool place, lying down, remove excess clothing, sip at cool water.
Occurs when the core temperature-regulating centre in the brain overheats and fails. It is often seen as; headaches, hot, flushed, dry skin, decreased level of consciousness, body temperature above normal.
Call for help, rest in a cool place and wrap in wet sheets, keep cooling.
The heart is like every other muscle in the body and needs a good blood supply to provide it with oxygen. A heart attack occurs when there is a reduced blood supply to a part of the heart muscle, damaging that area.
Symptoms include; heavy pressure, tightness, crushing pain in the chest, pain may spread to the shoulders, neck, jaw, arms, or back, sweaty pale skin, feeling faint, short of breath. (Symptoms usually last more than 15 minutes).
Rest the person quietly in a comfortable position, call for medical help, monitors ABC's. Give one Disprin under the tongue.
Hypothermia occurs if the core body temperature falls below 35 degrees Celsius.
It most often occurs in the outdoors, where wet, cold and wind combine to create a cooling effect.
Early signs are; feeling cold and shivering, tiredness, slurred speech, loss of coordination, stumbling, clumsiness, changes in behaviour – anxiety, irritability, irrationality. Later signs include; shivering stopping and unconsciousness.
To manage this, the focus is on preventing further heat loss and gently rewarming of the core temperature. For example; seek shelter, remove wet clothing and replace with dry, woollen hat, give warm sweet drinks (not alcohol), place in a sleeping bag with a companion.
Get the person to sit down, leaning forwards. Tell them to breathe through their mouth and pinch the soft part of their nose.
Maintain pressure for at least 10 minutes. An ice pack may be used. If the bleeding continues for more than 30 minutes, seek medical assistance.
Poisons can enter the body through skin, lungs or mouth. Look for; vomiting, burned ;lips and mouth, skin rash or swelling, breathing difficulties, seizures, or altered level of consciousness.
Find out; What, When and How much.
Drink 1 – 2 cups of water. Do NOT induce vomiting and seek medical help.
Medication and bracelets are available from pharmacies for sea sickness.
Keeping the person occupied, away from the fumes and looking out at the horizon, often works. If nausea develops, lying down is better than sitting upright.
Seizures occur as a result of a sudden and brief electrical discharge taking place in the brain. The person may; loose consciousness, body stiffens briefly, muscles contract and relax involuntarily. Bladder and bowel control may be lost during this event.
Call for medical assistance if; it is their first time, they hurt themselves, are pregnant, lasts longer than 5 minutes, don't regain consciousness, seizure stops and starts intermittently or involves water.
Keep them safe, do NOT try to put anything in their mouth, place in the recovery position afterwards. They will be extremely tired after a seizure.
If the end is protruding sufficiently, draw the splinter out gently with tweezers and cover with a dressing. If it cannot be grasped, bathe in hot water and apply gentle pressure behind the splinter to see if you can ease it out. If this is not possible, cover with a dressing and repeat with bathes and pressure at intervals until you are successful.
Muscles, ligaments, tendons and skin are able to be stretched and can also tear if over stretched.
Pain, swelling, bruising and decreased mobility are usually noticed.
Stop the activity, rest the area, ice pack for 20 minutes, firmly apply a pressure bandage and elevate the limb.
If it does not improve in 48 hours, seek medical assistance.
If the sting is left behind, scrape it out with the back of a knife. Mix Baking Soda and a little water, to make a paste and apply. A sting in the mouth must be treated seriously. Sucking ice may help to reduce the swelling until medical help arrives.
Eat only small quantities of very plain food for a day or two. For instance; grated apple, water crackers and lots of water.
A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is impaired by a blood clot or a burst blood vessel.
Some of these symptoms may be present; sudden severe headache, signs of weakness or paralysis, confusion, inability to speak or inappropriate words chosen, or loss of consciousness.
Call for medical help immediately, place in recovery position, reassure the person.
Rest in a cool room, drink plenty of water and medical help should be sought if burns are severe.

Courage In The Face of Utter Ridiculousness
Reading Profiles In Courage as a child, I was struck by John F. Kennedy's eloquent portrayals of leaders who sacrificed their political careers for their principles. But while it was a good read, I never thought I'd find myself in a comparable position. But yesterday, in a beige classroom in the board game wing of my college's English building, I was placed in such a situation. While I remain sensible of my defects, I like to think that I acted honorably enough that the story merits some Daily Fuel coverage.
Despite my school's art-centric nature, I'm still required to take one science class (a tragedy, I know). But they're not exactly teaching theoretical physics to us theatre majors, so I'm fulfilling my requirement by taking Plagues and Pandemics, a public health class about the spread of infectious diseases. It's as interesting as anything with the name "public health" in its description, but yesterday was a rare break from the mundanity. We spent the class playing Pandemic, an insanely complex board game in which five players work together to cure diseases. The game is very strategic, incorporating many of the scientific and economic aspects of disease control. My group was doing exceptional, even by my very high standards. It seemed as if we were crushing one disease after another, sailing towards a healthy planet. Then suddenly, disaster struck.
One of the "game masters," the two board game specialists employed by the school to supervise such activities, examined our board and mentioned that we were almost out of time. Which was strange, since there was still an hour left in the class. When I said as much, he replied that it was because we were about to run out of "time cards." Apparently you have a finite amount of days to cure the diseases, or else you automatically lose. So despite the fact that we had controlled all of the viruses and were almost done, we had to stop the game.
I was unaware of the law that requires epidemiologists to simply give up if it's taking too long to cure a disease.
I couldn't believe the stupidity of the situation. It would be one thing to lose because too many people became sick, but this was different. The real life equivalent would be if the CDC had to stop working on Ebola because the sun exploded. I'm not saying that that wouldn't be a problem, but it's not exactly a concern that's always hanging over their heads. It raises some interesting questions… if the world is about to end in a matter of weeks, why even bother curing diseases? The premise is so contradictory, it invalidates any learning opportunities the game may have otherwise provided.
As we conferred about next steps, my livid teammates all agreed that our principles wouldn't permit us to tolerate such nonsense. If this ridiculous game was being presented as a serious learning simulation, then it should be expected to at least follow the idea that the world is not at risk of ending every day.
After a tense negotiation session with my professor and the game masters (a job that I still can't believe exists), we were told that there was no way we'd receive the victory we had so obviously earned. We were despondent. But then my teacher rubbed salt in the wound, asking us to write a paper about what we had learned. We all agreed that we couldn't in good conscience turn in an assignment that endorses the ludicrous game. The system was rigged against us from the start. Millions of fictional people died of illnesses that we could have cured if not for this stupid "time card" rule.
So I hit the academic databases and did research on times when researchers had almost cured a disease, but had to stop because the world ended. I was unable to find an example. I said as such in my paper, and encouraged everyone else to do the same. If we had remained silent in the face of such an asinine rule, I don't know how I'd be able to look at myself in the mirror every morning. Edmund Burke famously said that society is truly a contract between the living, the dead, and the unborn. If that's true, then the living have a moral obligation to fight stupid board game rules. I just hope that when I'm dead, people will say I did my part.
You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.

Hong Kong's statues are disappearing, however their symbolism could show more durable to erase

UAE banks to change to Monday-Friday work week
Written by Oscar Holland, CNNHong Kong
Contributors Teele Rebane, Lizzy YeeCheryl Ho
Depicting a heap of screaming faces and contorted torsos, the "Pillar of Disgrace" was not only a reminder of the 1989 Tiananmen Sq. bloodbath — it was, for a lot of, an emblem of free speech in Hong Kong.
One of many vanishingly few memorials to the crackdown's victims tolerated on Chinese language soil, the statue's presence at College of Hong Kong (HKU) was lengthy thought of a bellwether of creative censorship within the semi-autonomous metropolis. Its removing final Wednesday evening was, for some college students, one other signal of Beijing's tightening grip.
"By eradicating this pillar… we are able to see that our freedom is being taken away, little by little, day-to-day," mentioned one scholar on campus the following morning. "It jogs my memory that the (Chinese language Communist Occasion) is an illegitimate regime," one other mentioned.
CNN agreed to not disclose the names of scholars interviewed, as a number of of them feared retribution from authorities. HKU emeritus professor John Burns, nonetheless, was extra open in his criticism. Eliminating memorials to the bloody navy crackdown on unarmed principally scholar protesters — a taboo subject on the mainland — demonstrated "additional erosion of the relative autonomy of HKU from the Chinese language state," he mentioned over electronic mail.

"HKU shouldn't be a authorities division and needn't subscribe to official propaganda in regards to the Tiananmen incident," Burns added. "To this point it has not. However eradicating the statue strikes HKU and Hong Kong nearer to the official state of amnesia about Tiananmen."
HKU was not the one college to seemingly reap the benefits of the quiet winter holidays. On Christmas Eve, two different establishments — the Chinese language College of Hong Kong (CUHK) and Lingnan College — eliminated on-campus depictions of a determine referred to as the "Goddess of Democracy." Displaying a lady clutching a flaming torch above her head, the unique statue was first erected by college students in Tiananmen Sq. through the 1989 pro-democracy protests and destroyed by the Chinese language navy through the crackdown.
Chen Weiming, the Chinese language-New Zealander artist behind the bronze duplicate at CUHK, mentioned its removing indicated the tip of "one nation, two methods," the precept that protects Hong Kong's freedom of expression. "Now it is one nation, one system," he declared.
Like HKU's governing physique, which mentioned it acted "primarily based on exterior authorized recommendation and danger evaluation," Lingnan College instructed CNN its choice adopted a evaluate into "gadgets on campus which will pose authorized and security dangers." CUHK mentioned in a press release it had "by no means approved the show" of the statue on its grounds.

The destiny of a fourth sculpture may cling within the stability: Authorities at Metropolis College of Hong Kong, one other establishment within the territory, reportedly ordered its scholar union to take away a "Goddess of Democracy" duplicate from its campus. The college instructed CNN it had solely ever granted permission for the statue to face till March 31, 2021, however didn't touch upon whether or not this meant it could be forcibly eliminated.
Enduring legacies
For 3 a long time, Hong Kong has been the one place on Chinese language-controlled soil the place an annual mass vigil has been held to mark the occasions in and round Tiananmen Sq. on June 4, 1989, throughout which large-scale pro-democracy protests have been brutally crushed by armed Chinese language troops.
The navy crackdown stays some of the tightly censored matters in mainland China, with discussions of it scrubbed from mass media. Chinese language authorities haven't launched an official dying toll, however estimates vary from a number of hundred to 1000's.
The removing of the statues comes amid a broader clampdown in Hong Kong, following the enactment of a nationwide safety regulation in 2020 that criminalizes acts of secession, subversion, terrorism and collusion with overseas forces.
The territory's authorities has repeatedly refuted accusations that the laws has stifled freedoms, claiming it has as an alternative restored order within the metropolis after it was shaken by mass protests from 2019.
To this point, the regulation has primarily focused political activists and figures from pro-democracy media retailers. But it surely has additionally left these in academia and the humanities unsure about what's permissible. The previous yr has seen situations of each censorship and self-censorship, from the passage of a brand new movie censorship regulation to "safeguard nationwide safety" to distinguished artist Kacey Wong's choice to enter self-imposed exile in Taiwan.
The statues' disappearance is probably not the tip of the story. Creator of the "Pillar of Disgrace," Danish artist Jens Galschiøt, mentioned he hopes to reclaim the work and exhibit it elsewhere. HKU didn't reply to CNN's request for remark in regards to the artist's makes an attempt to get better his creation or the present whereabouts of the statue, which was final seen being positioned, in components, right into a container. The college earlier mentioned it is going to be held in storage.
"It is nonetheless my property… if we get it, then we'll (convey) it again to Europe, I will put it collectively and it'll make a tour," Galschiøt instructed CNN. "In the meanwhile, now we have a plan to place it in Washington, DC, in entrance of the Chinese language embassy, simply to indicate China that there is a place on this planet the place we are able to speak about what occurred in '89."
The controversy surrounding the sculpture means that it's going to, now, be tied to not solely the Tiananmen Sq. bloodbath but additionally the erosion of Hong Kong's creative freedoms. But it surely was not the one model created by Galschiøt — nor was it even the primary. The unique "Pillar of Disgrace" was erected in Rome to honor these killed worldwide by starvation forward of a Meals and Agriculture Group summit in 1996. Different variations of the work have been subsequently put in in Mexico and Brazil to commemorate the victims of the Acteal bloodbath and Eldorado dos Carajás bloodbath, respectively.

The paintings's shifting that means is a reminder that destroying photos could solely serve to strengthen their symbolic energy. Certainly, replicas of a crowdsource-designed statue depicting a masked pro-democracy demonstrator, referred to as "Woman Liberty," have cropped up throughout Hong Kong because the authentic was pulled down and vandalized by unidentified assailants in October 2019. And the Chinese language navy's choice to topple the unique "Goddess of Democracy" in 1989 signifies that yearly, on June 4, similar variations seem in cities around the globe — from Taipei to Toronto — to mark the crackdown's anniversary.

Artwork-activist group Woman Liberty Hong Kong is hoping the "Pillar of Disgrace" can have an analogous destiny. The group has used greater than 900 photographs to create an open supply 3D mannequin of the work that may be downloaded and used to breed the statue with relative ease.
"The concept is that everybody can print a duplicate (of) it and place it wherever they need," the group's founder, Alex Lee, mentioned over the telephone final week. "Within the digital age, there is no limitation of what you are able to do with digital or bodily objects — (the hope is) for everybody to attempt to protect this image."
The New College for Democracy, an NGO based by Wang Dan, a long-exiled scholar chief of the Tiananmen Sq. protests, mentioned it's elevating funds to construct its personal model — with Galschiøt's blessing — in Taiwan. It hopes the sculpture shall be accomplished by June 4 subsequent yr, to mark the bloodbath's thirty third anniversary.
In a press release responding to final week's controversy, founder and president of the US-based Marketing campaign for Hong Kong, Samuel Chu, wrote that the "Pillar of Disgrace" had reworked in that means from a "touchstone for freedom" to "a tombstone for freedom."
"Eradicating the general public statues solely reveals the statue-shaped gap within the hearts of minds of all of us," he added.

Q: in drupal how to display 2 views with filter exposed in same page/path? in drupal how to display 2 views with filter exposed in same page/path?

A: Have you tried having each view as a block?  That way it is simple to have two different views on the same page - for example add the blocks to the body and limit them to the specific page.   caveat - I don't know if exposing the filter makes using the block view problematic, but it is certainly worth a try.

A: The way I solved this is described here:

*

*Create a view with two "page" displays

*Make sure the filters are identical in both

*Under exposed form set "Exposed form in block" to "Yes" in both
displays

*Make the second display appear in the footer of the first

*Set the exposed block to appear only in the path of the first
display

Now setting filters affects both displays.

  "icons": [

      "type": "image/png"
    }
  ],

If I try to install my web app as a chrome extension, and I use the latter format, I get this error:

So I guess I need to use the first format, for that. However, if I try to install my app as a progressive web app in android, the later format seems required ...

A: The short answer is you need both. They are two different manifest files that are used for different purposes and live in different places.
For the Chrome Web Store you will create a manifest locally on your computer following the getting started tutorial. That manifest and the icon image will get added to a zip file and uploaded to the store.
"icons": {
  "128": "icon_128.png"
}

For installable web apps you have to create a manifest file, uploaded it to your website along with the images, and then update your HTML pages to link to the manifest on your website.
  "icons": [
    {
      "src": "launcher-icon-2x.png",
      "sizes": "96x96",
      "type": "image/png"
    },
    {
      "src": "launcher-icon-3x.png",
      "sizes": "144x144",
      "type": "image/png"
    },
    {
      "src": "launcher-icon-4x.png",
      "sizes": "192x192",
      "type": "image/png"

SWFL Dragon Boat Racers Head To World Championships
Jamie Shane
A 2,000-year-old sport glides its way to Southwest Florida—and the World Championships—thanks to its one and only competitive dragon boat racing team.
For over 2,000 years, traditional dragon boats have raced through the rivers of Southern China. Chinese villagers have held these revered races on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month for generations as part of a ritual intended to avert misfortune and encourage the rains. In hopes of bringing on a prosperous rice crop, they offered this activity as worship to the dragon, an ancient symbol of water, who rules the seas, the rivers, the clouds, and the rains.
Traditionally made of teak, these ritual boats would skim sleekly through the water, manned by 12 to 16 paddlers, a drummer to keep a steady rhythm, and a "sweep" to steer. Twelve meters long and colorfully decorated with dragon heads and tails, the boats were an amazing display of energy and speed.
Dragon boat racing has since evolved from its religious roots and become one of the world's fastest-growing competitive water sports. International competitions have been held since 1976, when crews from other nations were first invited to Hong Kong to participate in the race. Following this lead, other independent races began to spring up in Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. By the 1980s, the sport began to develop official rules and regulations. This ancient racing ritual was on its way to becoming an internationally recognized competitive sport.
With so many independent clubs and associations sprouting up, leaders of the sport began to develop the modern Continental and World federations, complete with official meetings and recorded minutes. The European Dragon Boat Federation (EDBF), International Dragon Boat Federation (IDBF), and Asian Dragon Boat Federation (ADBF) all emerged in the early 1990s, and the Oceania Dragon Boat Federation (ODBF) was formed in 2009. These independent federations act as representatives of the sport, although all recognize the IDBF as the world governing body, which also operates the international world competition every two years.
So what does dragon racing, an ancient Chinese sport, have to do with our little corner of the world? Quite a lot, it seems.
This August, six athletes from Southwest Florida will be part of TEAM USA and race in the World Dragon Boat Racing Championships in Welland, Ontario, within Senior Division C. For over a year, these impressive competitors have undergone intensive training to prepare themselves for the rigorous selection trials around the country.
The US team will race the modern, 40-foot dragon boats decorated with colorful dragon heads and tails equipped with 20 paddlers, one drummer, and one sweep to comprise a crew of 22. Team members are chosen from all over the country for each Open, Women's, and Mixed crew team. Race distances are 250 meters for the short race, 500 meters for the standard race, and 2,000 meters for the long race.
Since the boat can only reach maximum speed if the paddlers are stroking in sync, working as a team is critical. All paddles must enter and exit the water at the same time, which is achieved by following the front two paddlers, called "strokers," who set the pace. The drummer provides the heartbeat of the boat, his or her beat cuing each stroke so the entire crew can pull together. Behind the drummer are the second seats, where the lighter paddlers are found. Beyond them is the bulk of the crew, with the heaviest and strongest paddlers seated in the center of the boat. This section is known as the "engine room" because the most thrust and power is found here. The sweep, also known as a "steerman," steers the boat with a sweep oar at the rear of the boat; this paddler often calls out commands if there is an obstruction in the water.
With five paddlers and one sweep, our local six comprise an integral part of the American crew. In addition to coming from a variety of fitness practices (marathoners, cyclists, yogis, windsurfers, and CrossFitters are represented), all of these athletes have been paddling dragon boats locally for many years.
Even more impressive? They're all over the age of 60.

The "Draggin' Dragons" are the Charlotte Harbor Paddlers' competitive dragon boat team. Cathy Getz will be the team's sweep at the Worlds, playing a key role on the boat and one that takes a lot of experience to safely maneuver them all from the start to the finish line. In addition to steering the boat, she communicates with all the paddlers and ensures they stay on course.
The Dragons give the boat a strong start with Carol Lynn Higley holding the second seat and Marilyn Gladish not far behind. These ladies are quick and strong. Then there's Jack Sain, George Gershowitz, and Jim Getz (Cathy's husband) in the engine room. These three bring strength and endurance to the crew. All of these athletes have trained rigorously to earn their positions and hope to help win the gold for Team USA.
But without their coach, the members of the Draggin' Dragons could not have come so far. Behind the scenes is their Dragon Master, Bob Brazeau, who provides the training program, instruction, and guidance to bring them to the top. It is thanks to Bob's countless hours of training and faith that these athletes have earned their places on the US team. During his career, Bob raced for the Canadian team in many competitions, including the Worlds.
It has taken a lot of work for this team to come so far, and they are all honored to have made it. Dragon boating is not an easy sport, but it is a shining example of teamwork and synchronicity that is on the rise in public appreciation and participation. In fact, with its strong presence at Worlds, it might even be said that 2015 is truly the year of the dragon.
"I showed up, they put a wooden paddle in my hand, and I was hooked," Gladish recalls. "It was the first time I was ever involved in a team sport. It truly is different in that we all depend on each other giving and being our best together."
