Wavebreaks are handcrafted: each boat is custom-built to satisfy your specific needs. Our flexibility in the manufacturing process ensures your boat is outfitted the way you want it.
And because we are precision engineers as well as boat builders, we can design, manufacture and install components necessary to your work and/or pleasure.
Wavebreaks plane at low speeds and handle sharp turns without slippage, providing a confident and inspiring ride even to the most inexperienced driver.
We place great emphasis on handling and performance - waterskiers and wakeboarders won't be disappointed either!
NZ made Wavebreak rigid inflatables are perfect for all types of activities from fishing, hunting, recreational and commercial diving to search and rescue, fisheries and police operations.
Uncluttered and spacious interiors make Wavebreaks ideal for use as yacht tenders, race-marshal and sailing club chase boats, transportation dinghies and water-taxis.
All Wavebreak hulls are constructed with the highest certified 5083 marine-grade alloy available to withstand conditions that are destructive to fibreglass and plastic hulls which can chip, graze and crack against rocks and other hard surfaces.
Wavebreak RHIBs let you explore more areas that you wouldn't dare approach in less durable boats.
Our removable "dual-layer" pontoon system is another important safety aspect of the Wavebreak's design. Our RIBs feature heavy-duty inflatable butynol bladders encased and protected by superior rip-stop polymer-coated outer bags.
It takes practically an act of vandalism to puncture through the Wavebreak's protective outer bags and into its inner inflated bladders!
In contrast to the Wavebreak's superior dual-layer pontoon system, Hypalon pontoons (and some PVC pontoons) are typically single layer systems which means the inflated bladder comprises the whole pontoon. There is no outer protection with single-layer pontoon systems, making the bladders susceptible to pinholes and punctures.
As soon as a Hypalon pontoon is pin-holed or punctured, it begins to deflate. In the case of pinholes, the pontoon may deflate slowly enough to just be a nuisance - the dangerous risk is a puncture which causes immediate deflation.
Wavebreaks feature heavy-duty inflatable butynol bladders encased and protected by superior rip-stop, polymer-coated outer bags. This "Dual-Layer" pontoon system provides an extra measure of protection against pinholes, tears and punctures.
Most Hypalon single-layer pontoons are glued to the hull and therefore are difficult to remove and expensive to replace!
In contrast, the Wavebreak's dual-layer outer bags and inner bladders are completely removable - there is no need to ship the entire boat away for simple pontoon repairs or replacement.
Most repairs to the Wavebreak's pontoons can be made quickly and easily - right where you happen to be!
Some rigid inflatable manufacturers rely solely on pontoons to comprise the boat sides. We don't compromise - our Wavebreak RIBs feature high marine-grade alloy sides, creating a "boat within a boat".
Because the Wavebreak has high sides it remains floating and more importantly, operational even with fully-deflated bladders!
In addition, the alloy sides free-up internal floorspace and allow for 600mm high internal freeboard and extra safety.
Wavebreaks easily manage heavy loads of passengers and gear without taking on water or adversely affecting performance.
Smooth-riding in the choppiest of waters, the Wavebreak is engineered to plane at low speeds and to handle sharp turns without slippage.
Its 19-degree deadrise hull enables the Wavebreak to slice through water, giving predicability in steering while reverse chines and planing strakes add stability and deflect water.
Designed to provide optimal room and stability, the alloy-hulled Wavebreak endures rugged treatment without compromising rough water performance or safety.
Wavebreak RIBs are certified for commercial operation through NZ's Maritime Operator Safety System (formerly Maritime NZ's Safe Ship Management Program.)
Survey testing proved that the Wavebreak remains stable when flooded, when deflated and when heavily-loaded.
Wavebreaks are available in various lengths and models, from 3M Tenders to 11.5M Offshore Cruisers. Model types include open tiller-style, centre-console, sport, jet and outboard jet, semi- and fully-enclosed cabin.
Each and every Wavebreak can be completely customized to suit. We can even install twin set-ups!
Our power options include outboard motors (including Yamaha, Honda, Mercury, Tohatsu and Evinrude), Outboard Jet and traditional jet propulsion.
Complete turnkey packages including boat, motor and trailer are available.
We offer a variety of seating options, fishing rod and dive tank holders, electronics, ski tows and engine protectors, integrated fuel tanks, windscreens and storage areas.
And because we are precision engineers as well as boat builders, we can design, manufacture and install components necessary to your work and/or pleasure.
Compare the Wavebreak with other brands - you are certain to draw the same conclusion.

The kids are off from school (again) and we're all here in the house as the smell of a garlic, onion, cheese bread wafts out of the bread machine. Talk about getting really spoiled in a really short period of time…the bread maker will do it to ya.
I'm wondering how long this streak will last baking bread nearly every day. But we do eat a ton of it and it's really no trouble to load the thing up. Takes no more time than loading yourself into the car and running to the store for a loaf of bread. But the smells, the wonderful smells. A few weeks ago I came home late at night and the house smelled like a cinnamon bun. The regular wheat breads smell divine as well but this garlic and onion concoction is total aromatherapy.
I still have time to maybe throw something in the crock pot of I find a recipe real quick. I think I finally just got motivated to do something today besides lie here on the sofa.

Vice President Joice Mujuru on Tuesday launched the country's national tourism brand 'Zimbabwe, A world of Wonders' at Lalit hotel in central Delhi during a well attended Zimbabwe Day dinner.
Cde Mujuru, who was guest of honor at the ceremony, said the launch of the brand is in recognition of the Asian country, which is an important tourism source market to Zimbabwe.
She said the availing of the tourism brand in India, which is the 8th
fastest growing economy in the world, will enable Zimbabwe to create synergies and enhance Zimbabwe's status as a prime tourist destination.Â
The national tourism brand, 'Zimbabwe, A World of Wonders,' is underpinned by Zimbabwe's unique people and culture, a rich history and heritage, the majestic Victoria Falls, the Great Zimbabwe ruins, wildlife and nature, the mystique of the Eastern Highlands, the Kariba Dam and the mighty Zambezi river.
Cde Mujuru said more should be done to market Zimbabwe to the Indian middle class population which has more than 300 million people, adding that with the Indian market coming to Zimbabwe, tourism is set to grow and realise its full potential.
"Zimbabwe and India continue to enjoy bilateral relations that date back to the liberation struggle and as such, it is prudent that we unveil this destination to you," she said.
She added that Zimbabwe's presence at the just-ended Outbound Travel Mart/Travel and Tourism Fair had afforded the country the rarest of opportunities to learn from a great tourist destination such as India and to network and attract tourists to Zimbabwe.
Vice President Mujuru said the issue of access to Zimbabwe by air from India had recently been resolved through the coming in of Emirates Airline which is now flying between Harare and Dubai three times a week.
Cde Mujuru said, "I am also pleased to inform you that Lufthansa Airlines will be making a comeback to Zimbabwe albeit through a code of share arrangements with South African and Ethiopian Airways.
"These international airlines have a wide global network that will make Zimbabwe accessible,†she said.
The opening up of the tourism market comes as Zimbabwe has started benefiting from a spirited campaign to re-engage with the international community through image building and destination marketing.
The efforts have seen the tourism sector registering close to 2,5 million visitors last year while an estimated 2,75 million visitors are expected by the end of 2012.
The country's efforts also received a major boost after it won the bid to co-host the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO) General Assembly with Zambia next year.
VP Mujuru said that the overall objective is to see Zimbabwe regain its position as one of the leading world class tourist destinations.
Meanwhile, Cde Mujuru and her delegation have left New Delhi this Wednasday for Bangalore and Pune which are some of the most prominent industrial hubs in India.
During the visit, the delegation will tour a number of companies mostly those that are involved in agriculture, educational institutions as well as companies that produce irrigation equipment.

TBNSW Breeders Update Winter/Spring 2018 - Page 9
The daughter of High Chaparral then became the first
filly since Scarlett Lady in 2011 to claim the Doomben
Roses – Queensland Oaks double.
Chris Waller's filly came away with the win despite a
less than ideal run in transit, being bumped repeatedly
through the run and also getting forced wide with no
cover midrace.
She still proved too good though, edging out her
stablemate Another Dollar to give Chris Waller his third
Queensland Oaks in four years after Winx (2015) and
Egg Tart (2017), each at Doomben over 2200m rather
than the traditional 2400m at Eagle Farm.
Darren Weir raided South Australian 3YO features
firstly with Sopressa winning the Group 1 Schweppes
Australasian Oaks (2000m) at Morphettville on May 5.
The daughter of So You Think was dominant a fortnight
earlier in winning the Schweppervescence Stakes
(1800m) at the course.
She lifted again taking on a stronger group of fillies and
was given a perfect ride in behind the early speed by
Harry Coffey.
Shoals (Fastnet Rock x The Broken Shore)
The gelding arrived in Brisbane off
a second in the South Pacific Classic (1400m) at
Randwick on April 14 which returned him what at the
time was a new Master Timeform rating of 101p.
Life in the Sunshine State obviously agreed with the son
of All American who came away from the winter having
claimed both the Group 3 Rough Habit Plate (2000m) at
Doomben on May 12 and the Group 1 Queensland Derby
(2200m) at Doomben on June 9.
His Queensland Derby was given a Timeform rating of
114, clearly the pick of the staying efforts produced by
three-year-olds over the winter.
Clear space emerged for the pair immediately upon
on straightening and a slender win ensued from
Sheezdashing and Miss Admiration which returned a
Timeform rating of 107.
Weir struck again a week later courtesy of Leicester
in the Group 1 South Australian Derby at Morphettville
Despite having won the Group 3 Chairman's Stakes
(2035m) at Morphettville on April 28, Leicester went
into the race as somewhat of a distance query but
fought hard in the straight to win by 1.5 lengths from
Rezealient and Runaway.
The son of Wanted joined Howard Be Thy Name (2016)
and Volatile Mix (2017) as South Australian Derby
winners for Darren Weir in the past three years.
That said, closing well behind Dark Dream for third was
the Chris Waller-trained Youngstar who could be one to
watch next season.
The daughter of High Chaparral enjoyed a breakout prep
late in the season where she graduated from maiden
status to Group 1 winner through just four starts.
Youngstar jumped from provincial wins in New South
Wales to the Doomben Roses (2000m) on May 12 and
handled the grade rise with aplomb, claiming the Group
2 fillies event with a bit up the sleeve.

Reflections on new forms of activism in North Africa since 2011
Place: Faculty of Arts & Humanities, University of Sousse
Date: May 11th to 12st
Seven years after the Arab Spring, the forms, languages, spaces and temporalities of protest have witnessed considerable alterations. Seven years after the Arab Spring, unrest in the region still looms large. The politician, the ruler, the ruled, the academic, the wise and the fool still itch for answers as to what happened, foregrounding a deep-seated need to figure out what will happen next in Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco and beyond. The unremitting branching off of protest events in the region is a clear indication that the militants for change will hardly have enough plate of their demands nor enough response for their queries.
During these seven years, there were moments in which transformation occurred and unoccured, in which transition transpired and ceased, in which reform was found and lost, and in which revolution succeeded and failed. Despite all disappointment, we cannot possibly speak of the absence of outcomes at the political, social and cultural levels. Resistance-driven consciousness among the masses is growing incredibly, captured daily by the camcorders of anonymous citizens, by the initiatives of social media networkers, by the artistic productions of casual pavement-bound participants. The growing rates of this consciousness have a tremendous impact on the actual conceptual understanding of struggle today. They continue to trigger more questions about the limits of power, the demarcations of change, the location of transgression, and the future of the nation. Situated against and aware of this complex background, it is necessary to ponder the meaning of change-centred endeavours that mark the people's everyday conversation with power. It is equally important to comprehend the new meanings that keep shooting through the field of activism as we know it. At this level a few questions need to be addressed: What are the arrangements of struggle today? How does "shaʿab" adapt and respond to the failure of revolt? How does power get involved in locations of dissent (virtual and physical)? What are the characteristics of activism today? Where does activism begin and where does it end? What meanings can we allocate to activism in the surfacing of conceptual categories such as leadership, heroism, martyrdom, neo-patriotism? How does activism blur the line between the individual and community? How do the constituents of activism, like spaciality, sociality and temporality, govern contemporary revolt situations and get governed by them?
This workshop is geared towards the understanding of the conditions, actors, and by-products of activism today. Campaigning for protest is no longer contingent on fixed constituents, such as fixed spaces, fixed leadership, and fixed temporalities. In Morocco, livid consumers have recently started a nationwide boycotting campaign to dispute the exorbitant prices of daily consumables like mineral water, milk, and gas. The boycott which emanated from twitter and facebook through videos, images and memes, soon found a receptive audience in and great support from society at large. Whether these forms of activism get promoted by power structures to settle political conflicts or reflect the "voice of the people", we cannot lose sight of the fact that they bring new strategies of protest into play on the social front that deserve to be measured academically.
This brings us to the other equally important objective of this workshop, which is the encounter between sociopolitical activism and academia. Questions about the role of the university in arresting the spirit of the street will be underscored by creating a contact zone that allows the blending and clashing of the voices of academic fellows and civil society members. This is a deliberate experimental gesture that expresses the need to throw the fieldwork subject and researcher together. The plugging together of the researcher and his/her subject of research is meant to blur the edges marking binaries such as outsider/insider, subject of research/conductor of research, fieldwork/university, and academic/activist. The workshop hence heightens the consciousness of both the academician and activist regarding the markings that frame his roles, functions and responsibilities; it allows for moments of self-reflection that help their question-therefore transcend-their archetypal idiosyncrasies.
"The Maghreb in Transition" is a multilateral and interdisciplinary research partnership between the Universities of Sousse, Carthage and La Manouba in Tunisia, the Sidi Mohamed Ben Abdellah (Fez), Hassan II. (Casablanca), Al Akhawayn University (Ifrane) and the Institut National de Statistique et d'Economie Appliquée (Rabat) in Morocco, and the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Germany. The partnership is sponsored by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the German Federal Foreign Office.

Offpiste in Lyngen
The Lyngen alps are no secret for offpiste enthusiasts, and the majestic mountains have become more and more popular over the recent years. The best way to reach the alps is to take a boat from Tromso to the remote locations on the Lyngen peninsula and then use your feet to get to the tops. The alps are totally undeveloped and a protected area with the aim of maintaining the range's raw natural qualities for future generations. This includes not allowing any ski lifts or heliskiing operations, so the only way to reach a peak and access potentially awesome slopes of untouched powder is under your own steam.
Best time of year is from end of March until middle of May. Lyngen Lodge offers arranged tours with guiding, equipment, boat transport and transfers to and from Tromso airport. More info at lyngenlodge.com
Take a look at the video below to get a feeling what this is really about:
Photage is from a commercial for Choice Hotels in Norway.

The objective of this classroom action research is to solve the problem faced by the class teacher of grade VII F of SMP N 6 Bandar Lampung; the problem found was that the students' vocabulary achievement was very low. The students were not interested in learning English as the teaching learning process was quite boring for them. So the teacher needed to support the teaching learning process with an audio visual media. The use of slide video was chosen since video is an appropriate media to stimulate and motivate the students' interest and attention in understanding the unknown words since video makes language more alive and meaningful and helps to bring the real worlds into classroom. To find out whether the use of slide video is applicable to improve the students' vocabulary achievement and to improve the students' learning activities and the teacher's performance, the research was conducted at SMP N 6 Bandar Lampung. The subject of the research was students of grade VII F in the academic year 2009/2010. This classroom action research was conducted in two cycles, each cycle consisted of: planning, action, observation and interpretation, and analysis and reflection. To collect the data of the learning product and learning process, the researcher used vocabulary task and observation as the instruments. He used the indicators dealing with the learning product and learning process. The result of the learning product showed that the use of slide video is applicable to improve the students' vocabulary achievement. The research was successful if at least 70 % of the students of grade VII F got score 60 or higher; it was based on the KKM (Kriteria Ketuntasan Minimal). In cycle l, there were 16 students (44.44%) who gained score ≥ 60, thus he conducted cycle 2, and there were 33 students (91.67 %) who gained score ≥ 60 it means that the indicator is achieved. For the learning process, that is the students' activities, there were only 20 students (55.56%) who did 80% of the activities in cycle 1, then he conducted the other cycle to meet the indicator, and in cycle 2 there were 32 students (88.89 %) who did 80% of the activities, it means the indicator is achieved. Meanwhile, for the teacher's teaching performance the indicator of the research is, if the teacher can get score at least 80 for his teaching performance. The teacher got score 60 in cycle 1 , then he got 87 in cycle 2 which means that he could teach the students well after implementing slide video. Referring to the result of the research above, it can be concluded that the use of slide video is applicable to improve the students' vocabulary achievement, the teaching learning process (students' activities), and also the teacher's teaching performance.

The key responsibility or duty of a Field Investigator is to investigate and find out hidden factors or secrets to a situation so the key skill these investigators need to have is the curiosity and the ability to judge people and situations like no one else can. The reason that agencies like FBI or CIA have excellent success rates is because the detectives in these agencies are trained to catch lies and read body language to evaluate what he is thinking and how he is going to react in a situation. Along with that, field investigators must have good management and organizational skills, critical thinking ability, being able to work long hours and work good under stress and pressure and the ability of not missing even small or unnoticeable things about a person or situation. Additionally, these Field Investigators must have excellent memory, good grip on local laws and government rules, good initiation powers, being able to work under strict guidelines, active listening and multitasking.
Important Tips to create Field Investigator Resume:
While talking about your previous jobs and employment, keep in mind that when you include the title of your job and the name of the company, it's enough for the employer and there is no need to add the responsibilities and duties of each job. If you have worked in a law enforcement agency before, just add the title of the job and skip the long list of responsibilities. Bullet points are easy to read and the reader can understand the points quicker than a long boring paragraph so you should use more bullet points especially when discussing your skills, abilities, achievements and accomplishments.
For some employers, it's not important to read where the applicant sees himself in five or ten years but for most of them, it's very important and vital to understand the future planning and goals of the applicants. In the resume, you should include a small part of what you want to achieve in the future and where you see yourself in a few years. After completing the resume, make sure to proofread it and it would be better if you ask someone else to take a look at it and see if there are any mistakes or typos.

Welcome from Stuart Fox – Chair of Board of Directors Prestolee Trust
For over a century Prestolee has been pioneering educational innovation & excellence, from the days of Teddy O'Neill in the 1900's to its current guise under the leadership of our CEO Mr Tonge.
Long before Prestolee moved to academy status in 2015, the senior leadership team had been offering guidance, support and direction to schools within our cluster. To become the lead school in a Multi Academy Trust was a natural step, and as we expand and grow the excellence we have within our leadership team is exponentially increased.
The core values of every child a reader, every child a writer, every child numerate are carried over across all the schools and the vision for every child to do better than they have before at every turn is key.
The trust has within its umbrella an initial teacher training centre, where the teachers of tomorrow get the very best guidance and support as they start their journeys. It also has a teaching school, where outstanding leaders are nurtured and developed.
All this enables Prestolee Multi Academy Trust to be school centred, to allow those who know the system well to offer the best guidance and direction to the trust directors.
It is the role of the directors to ensure that the values the trust hold dear are carried across all schools, to ensure that the budget is managed prudently, and that each local governing body is accountable to it. It sets the direction and standards across all schools and monitors and evaluates each schools performance to ensure the trust is performing well as a whole.
Prestolee is recognised nationally as a byword for excellence and as we mature and expand it is essential that the trust ensures that we remain outstanding in all areas.
Stuart Fox
Chair Prestolee Multi Academy Trust
Welcome from Mike Tonge – CEO Prestolee Trust
Prestolee Trust builds upon the ideas of our most famous leader, Teddy O'Neil. Teddy was the first head in the country to develop a true community school. Indeed it can be argued that Prestolee, under Teddy O'Neill, was the first community school in England.
It is that notion of community which is the central driver to our philosophy and our work. We are a community of schools and organisations. We work together as a group to improve the lives and opportunities of the children in our care. Through improving the aspiration, the education and the development of the children in our school we are working to improve all our communities. We work with parents, community groups, key local stakeholders and the schools to provide as wide a range of opportunities and improvements for all of the children in our care.
We are very clear we are not 'cookie cutter' schools. All of our schools run as independent organisations under the umbrella of Prestolee Multi Academy Trust. We invest in our leaders, our staff and our communities because this we feel is the only way to get strong, secure and stable improvements to our schools. Each school serves a unique community and it is our job to add value to what that school does and not to dictate each individual aspect of the schools work.
Through our School Centred Initial Teacher training programme we produce some of the finest new teachers in the profession. Through our teaching school we support a range of schools across Greater Manchester and across the country. Through our well established network and links we support school improvement in all schools across Greater Manchester and look to influence and shape policy. We are committed to bringing the school system together through mutual support and engagement, be it through our School Led Conferences or through organisations such as Family of Schools or through the Greater Manchester Learning Partnership. This is because we feel all the answers to the challenges we face are in the system somewhere – it is just a case of connecting and learning.
Prestolee is a Trust with community at its heart – because only schools as communities will succeed.
To find out more about or if you are thinking of joining us please explore the site and get in touch.

To All My West Coast Friends
It truly has a beauty all its own. It also has a way of slowing us down. We enjoy roaring fires in our wood stove. We enjoy gathering in the evenings to watch a movie together, or to read a book aloud. We get to wear cute scarves and fun boots, heavy jackets, warm gloves, and hats. For warmth and not just as a fashion accessory!
Tim had already done all the animal care and left for work. He texted to say that the roads were only wet though they were a bit slippery.
To see the wood smoke rising from the chimneys, and smell its wonderful scent in the air.
The beautiful frosty windows of God's design will be gone, but they'll be back next winter. The view outside this window will be green grass and pasture, beautiful trees with fresh green leaves. Everything will be lush, because we are not in drought conditions, and our water table is high, because of our snow. Our creek will be running.
I've learned to embrace each season, each day with joy. To not look ahead and always wish I was at the next season or the next 'thing.' I want to be right here, right now.
So West Coasters, enjoy your sunshine and hot weather! Embrace it! It's yours. But please don't feel sorry for me. I'm enjoying each and every day of this season. I hope you do too!

Great Lakes Stressed
July 8, 2014
National Geographic Maps Click the link for a National Geographic article and maps.
Hiking Isle Royale is a great experience.
Greenstones, Wolves, Moose and Thimbleberries
On the map, Isle Royale looks like the eye in the wolf's head shape of Lake Superior, with Duluth its snout and the Keweenaw Peninsula its mouth. It is precious since there are few places left on this planet that have been preserved like this. It is unique; some of the oldest rocks on this planet form Isle Royale, its plants and animals and minerals. There are copper mining pits on the Island where native Americans dug rich veins of copper long ago.
When I think of Isle Royale, I think of Eden, a place away from cars and the noise of machinery. There is no traffic on Isle Royale; only hiking trails. The sounds of Isle Royale are of bugling moose, the silvery songs of northern songbirds, the lapping of waves on rocks and the quavering voices of loons. Sometimes there is the slap…

The Dynamic Great Lakes is available on Kindle
September 8, 2011
To learn about the Great Lakes and their interesting features, The Dynamic Great Lakes is for you.
Now updated in a fourth edition, Amazon has made the book available on the Kindle e reader as well as in paperback. The book is concise and suitable for all readers.
Map of Great Lakes
July 25, 2011
This NOAA map shows the depths of all five Great Lakes. Lake Superior some believe is shaped like a wolf's head with Isle Royale the eye. It is the largest and deepest. Lake Michigan and Lake Huron are the same sea level. Lake Erie waters take a tumble over Niagara Falls and the water arrives in Lake Ontario and then down the St. Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean. Read more about these fresh water seas in my book, The Dynamic Great Lakes available from many online bookstores as well as the publisher http://www.publishamerica.net/product23502.html Only $9.95 + shipping for the new updated edition.
Review of The Dynamic Great Lakes
January 5, 2011
One of the first reviewers of my book, The Dynamic Great Lakes was Norman Goldman. Here is his review:
The Dynamic Great Lakes
Many of us know very little about the five Great Lakes other than perhaps being able to name them. As Barbara Spring states in her introduction to her outstanding primer The Dynamic Great Lakes they are "a flowing river of seas left behind by Ice Age glaciers and are nearly twenty percent of the world's supply of fresh surface water; the world's greatest freshwater system."
The ecosystem of this great body of water is very complex and unfortunately due to pollution and the fallout of modern industry and agriculture they have gone through a gradual transformation.
One of the unique characteristics of this compact book is that it is written in a language devoid of esoteric explanations. The eight chapters of the book reflect the author's teaching and journalistic aptitudes in knowing how to unravel the mystery of the Great Lakes and the many painful dangers it has faced and continues to face.
Each of the five Lakes is introduced with a brief synopsis of important elements distinguishing one from the other such as: elevation, length, breadth, average depth, maximum depth, volume, water area, retention time, population and outlet. From this point of departure the author deals with the various changes that have taken place as well as the various major issues affecting the Lakes.
There are also brief descriptions of the various animal life found in each of the Lakes and how they have been affected by pollution and the appearance of harmful species, such as the Lamprey Eel.
However, we are also reminded throughout the reading of the book that "people power" can have an effect and if we band together and make our voices heard we could exert influence in reversing some of the harmful trends that have caused ecological disaster.
For example we are apprised of the situation that occurred in relation to Lake Erie. In 1969 a tributary river of Lake Erie, the Cayahoga, caught on fire due to being heavily coated with oil and debris. As a result, the Federal Water Quality Administration launched a one and half billion dollar municipal sewage treatment program for the Erie Basin which included the five surrounding states: Michigan, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, and Indiana.
The conclusion of the book most appropriately reminds us that: "we are all challenged to use our knowledge, creativity and common sense to keep the Great Lakes great. Can you think of ways to think globally and act locally?" We are also warned "life on earth is only possible as long as our limited life support system works."

The Dynamic Great Lakes Satellite View
May 11, 2010
Satellite pictures of the Great Lakes show their immense size. Their waters flow from the highest, Lake Superior down into Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. These are called the upper Great Lakes. From there to the shallowest Lake Erie and then over Niagara Falls into deep Lake Ontario. The water then flows toward the Atlantic through the St. Lawrence River.
Read about these freshwater lakes in my book, The Dynamic Great Lakes.
All Great Lakes Connected
March 5, 2010
The Great Lakes are a marvelous freshwater system shared by the United States and Canada. Only Lake Michigan is entirely within the United States.
Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie and Lake Ontario are all connected and have their outlet through the St. Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean.
Many shipwrecks lie on the bottoms of these powerful lakes. The cold fresh water preserves them but since zebra mussels entered the lakes accidentally, these shipwrecks are encrusted with them. It is illegal for divers to take things from these shipwrecks.
There are places where glass bottomed boats will take tourists to see what lies below.
February 3, 2010
|Interview from the Book Review Cafe
Barbara Spring has written a non fiction book about changes in the Great Lakes system: The Dynamic Great Lakes She is an environmentalist and a poet. The Wilderness Within is a book of nature poetry and a few travel essays. Sophia's Lost and Found is a book of poetry.
Lisa: Could you tell a little about yourself? Where you grew up, how you started writing?
Barbara: I was born in New York City, spent some growing up years in Columbia, Missouri, then my family moved to East Lansing, Michigan when I was 10. After high school I graduated from Michigan State University with a major in English. I always liked to write. I became an English major after taking a poetry class at Michigan State from the Poet Laureate of Canada, A.J.M. Smith. I have taken many post graduate courses in outdoor education, art, photography, and I have studied writing with Wm. Stafford, Robert Bly, Nancy Willard, N. Scott Momaday and many other notable writers.
Lisa: Why did you write The Dynamic Great Lakes?
Barbara: I could not find an up to date book on the five Great Lakes and their connecting waters, dunes, wetlands and other features. I could not find any book for the general public about the interconnected Great Lakes. So I wrote one.
Lisa: Who were your mentors?
Barbara: My first mentor was my father, E. P. Reineke, a research scientist at M.S.U. in the physiology dept. He did some important original research there. I learned to love and appreciate nature from him. My husband, Norm Spring has been a long time outdoorsman and conservationist. I have learned a great deal about nature and the democratic process from him.
Lisa: What are some books that have changed your life?
Barbara: Silent Spring by Rachel Carson opened my eyes to what we are doing to the environment. After reading the book and recommending it to my husband, we both became activists on behalf of the environment before the first Earth Day in 1970. I also loved A Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold. I required my students to read it when I taught writing classes at Grand Valley State University.
Lisa: Who do you think would enjoy reading this book?
Barbara: I wrote The Dynamic Great Lakes for a general audience.
I spoke to school children this week. I opened my talk with a space photo of Planet Earth and explained that the water they saw was 98% salt water-only about 2% is freshwater. "Dang!" said a kid in surprise.
The audience for my book is really adults, but school age kids will find it interesting, too. It is an up to date reference to the five Great Lakes and their connecting waters: their fishes, dunes, wetlands, seasonal changes and changes caused by people. The Dynamic Great Lakes will be an eye-opener for anyone.
Lisa: Why is the Dynamic Great Lakes an important book?
Barbara: The Great Lakes are important but often misunderstood. They are about 20% of all the fresh surface water on this planet. People need to understand their dynamics in order to make sound decisions about them. Recently a grassroots movement in Michigan blocked oil companies from further oil exploration under Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. The risk of polluting the lakes with oil and noxious gases was intolerable. There will be more schemes that threaten the health of the Great Lakes. Armed with knowledge, people will demand the right thing of their government. They will also be careful of what they do in their personal decisions. The lakes' water is low this year, but it will rise again. People who know this is a natural cycle will not build too close to the water.
Lisa: Why is this book a good choice for Earth Day?
Barbara: The book encourages people to think globally and act locally. Everything is connected to everything else. This means that what we burn, what we release in the water and land and what we eat are all connected. We often forget that we are part of the whole and flowing web of life. Our actions will affect us now and in the future.
Lisa:How is your book different from other books about the Great Lakes?
Barbara:I limited my topic to changes in the Great Lakes, both through natural forces and through changes caused by people. There have been a great many changes and I believe people will be interested in learning about the Pacific salmon planted in the lakes to feed on the pesky alewives that invaded them through the canals around Niagara Falls. They will be interested in other exotic species such as the zebra mussels and how they got into all five Great Lakes.
Lisa:How did you research the book?
Barbara:I began with observations. We live within view of Lake Michigan. I can observe the change of seasons and what kinds of fish are being caught. I have also observed all the other lakes and their connecting waters. I then set out to find out authoritative information about the lakes by interviewing experts. The book is interdisciplinary. I interviewed a geologist, fish biologists, and naturalists. I asked them for good sources in print. I went out on Grand Valley State University's research vessel, Angus to see what research was being done. I enjoyed working on the Dynamic Great Lakes because there was always something new.
Lisa:What else have you written?
Barbara: As a journalist, I have written articles for the Grand Rapids Press, a major newspaper in West Michigan. These articles were about travels, profiles of interesting people, and outdoor subjects. I also have had articles published in Michigan Out of Doors magazine, Michigan Natural Resources magazine, Muskegon Magazine, Field & Stream and many others.
I have also published two books of poetry: The Wilderness Within and Sophia's Lost and Found:
Poems of Above and Below.
Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie
December 12, 2009
The heart shaped lake is Lake St. Clair and is not considered one of the Great Lakes although it is part of the Great Lakes water system. It is connected to Lake Erie and the marshes in this area make it a very productive part of the Great Lakes–a nursery for fish, birds and insects. Lake Erie is the shallowest of the five Great Lakes and it is a warm water fishery. Read more about the Great Lakes system in my book, The Dynamic Great Lakes.

Life-long friends Bob Hughes and David Anderson dreamed of a project where they could flex their musical muscles on difficult progressive rock material, showcasing a talent not typically seen in cover bands.
They realized their dream in 2011 when they gathered several like-minded musicians from around Southern California. Without Warning was born.
Soon, the band branched out into the tribute scene, finding that the doors opened to better shows under this format. They chose to be a "genre tribute" instead of donning wigs and acting the part. Members carefully selected some of the most complex hard rock and metal songs from the 1970s through present, placing musical accuracy above a look-alike package.
At the forefront through much of this time was Megan Dawn, an established businesswoman in the entertainment industry who was also known for tearing it up in karaoke bars. She brought her marketing savvy to the table, as well as her singing talent, helping the young group make its mark on the South Bay and beyond.
Jamie Kichline, a shredder guitarist from the Coachella Valley, and Rialto bassist GB Rodzz also came into the fray permanently after several lineup changes. Without Warning has fired up audiences around the Southland, from BriXton South Bay and Saint Rocke in the Hermosa and Redondo Beach areas, to the Queen Mary Dark Harbor. They've shared stages with signed international acts such as Don Dokken and The Bullet Boys, as well as the legendary tributes Atomic Punks and the Iron Maidens. The band also performed with Steel Panther at the House of Blues Hollywood.
In early 2014, Megan parted ways with the band due to other commitments, but remains close with its members. This led to a pivotal point for Without Warning, where the founders had to decide between hanging up the project or seeking a replacement. The band was able to go with the latter, recruiting an Inland Empire singer named Melissa Pinion from the metal band, Dead Moves.
And so begins the next chapter…

The National Association of Healthcare Access Management
(NAHAM) held its 41st Annual Education and Exhibition at the JW
Marriott Indianapolis April 19-22, 2015.
Markey's on-site event technology staff was selected during an RFP
process and was honored to provide audiovisual services for several aspects of
this event.
In the General Session room, Markey's provided a
two-projector, two-screen (9'x 12') stage design, with flown lighting. Grey drape was used across the entire design, with uplighting from Martin Stagebars on the ModDim panels serving as the backdrop for visual interest.
Other components of the event that Markey's provided professional services for included the Exhibition Hall, which comprised 60 exhibitor booths, for which Markey's
provided the power and Internet connections. The Education Sessions were held in 10 breakout rooms, and
each had podium and wireless microphones, projectors and screens, while a few
required audio mixers as well. Markey's also set up a speaker-ready room for the presenters,
equipped with a laptop and 55" monitor.

ADjunctive coRticosteroid trEatment iN criticAlly ilL Patients With Septic Shock (ADRENAL)
|The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been evaluated by the U.S. Federal Government. Read our disclaimer for details.
|ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01448109

The purpose of this study is to find out whether adult patients admitted to the Intensive Care Unit with septic shock who are given hydrocortisone compared to placebo (a dummy solution), will have an improved rate of survival 90 days later.
Septic shock is the result of an infection, which triggers a complex response by the body (the inflammatory response) that causes a decrease in blood pressure and subsequently one or more organ systems to fail when blood supply to these organs is reduced. This may result in poor recovery and death. About a quarter of the people who suffer septic shock that is not rapidly reversed, will die.
When patients are admitted to Intensive Care with sepsis and/or septic shock they receive a number of therapies. These include fluids given through a drip, antibiotics, drugs to boost your blood pressure and other organ systems.
In addition to these therapies, steroids (hydrocortisone) are sometimes administered. Whether steroids are useful or not in the treatment of severe infections has been studied for more than 50 years. Previous research has suggested that the use of low dose steroid may have shortterm benefits in improving the circulation. However, there is no agreement amongst doctors around the world about whether treatment with or without low dose steroids improves the overall recovery and survival in patients with septic shock. This study would allow doctors to make informed decisions about whether the addition of low dose steroid therapy is better for patients with septic shock in intensive care.
The study will include 3800 intensive care patients who have septic shock. Each enrolled patient will be randomised to receive either Hydrocortisone 200mg or placebo daily for 7 days as a continuous intravenous infusion while in intensive care. The patient will be followed for 90 days. If the patient is discharged prior to 90 days a telephone call will be made for the followup information. At six months the patient will be contacted again for completion of a quality of life questionnaire.
|Condition or disease
|Septic Shock
|Drug: Hydrocortisone Drug: Sterile air filled vial
|Phase 4
Primary Objective To evaluate the impact of intravenous hydrocortisone versus placebo on all cause mortality at 90 days in critically ill patients with septic shock. The hypothesis is that hydrocortisone, compared to placebo, reduces 90-day all-cause mortality in patients admitted to an ICU with septic shock. 'Shock' is defined as the need for vasopressors or inotropes to maintain a systolic blood pressure > 90 millimetres of mercury (mmHg), or mean arterial blood pressure > 60mmHg or a mean arterial pressure (MAP) target set by the treating clinician for maintaining perfusion. 'Septic shock' is shock that is secondary to sepsis
Secondary Objectives To assess the impact of intravenous hydrocortisone versus placebo on the recovery from, and the complications of, septic shock and the development of treatment related adverse reactions.
Study Design This study is a multi centre, randomised, blinded, placebo controlled trial comparing intravenous hydrocortisone with placebo in critically ill patients with septic shock.
Randomisation will be achieved via a secure interactive web based system using permuted block minimisation. Randomisation will be stratified by participating site and by operative or non-operative admission to the ICU.
The primary endpoint for this trial will be death from all causes at 90 days.
Pre defined sub groups will include the following categories:
- Operative (admitted to ICU from operating theatre or recovery room) versus non-operative admission.
- Dose of adrenaline or noradrenaline at randomisation - ≤ 15 mcg / minute versus > 15 mcg / minute.
3,800 patients will be enrolled in this study at approximately 50 - 60 study sites. Eligible patients will be randomised to receive either intravenous hydrocortisone 200mg or placebo per day for 7 days.
For all patients, data will be collected at baseline and then daily whilst the patient is in the ICU. Patients will be followed up to day 14, regardless of where the patient resides in the hospital, to monitor the development of bacteraemia. Additional follow up will occur at 90 days and at 6 months post randomisation.

Yes, we're still working on Election 2014 around here. As we've told you many times, problems in elections often take days, weeks or even months or years to reveal themselves, even after the mainstream media has long since moved on.
Last week we told you about the "recount" that awaits the GMO labeling ballot initiative in the state of Oregon and the amazing appearance of 21 "new" mystery ballots that flipped the results of a state Senate recount in Maine. And now, a "recount" lies ahead for the one remaining "too close to call" U.S. Congressional election in Arizona's 2nd Congressional District.
The state's first-ever "recount" of a Congressional race will be very different from the one that will be carried out for Oregon's Measure 92 and --- as demonstrated via a federal court ruling issued on Thanksgiving Day that disallowed the tally of some 133 provisional and early ballots before today's state certification of the race --- much more controversial. We can only hope no mystery ballots appear, as occurred in the still-unexplained contest in Maine.
The razor-thin contest in AZ-2 is between incumbent Rep. Ron Barber (D) and his challenger Martha McSally (R). Out of some 220,000 votes cast in the AZ-2 race --- in Pima and Cochise Counties --- the paper ballot computer tabulators report a margin of "victory" for McSally over Barber of just 161 votes, according to results posted by the Sec. of State.
The U.S. House seat in Arizona's 2nd District was formerly occupied by Rep. Gabby Giffords (D) until she was critically injured in a 2011 mass shooting that killed six and wounded 13 during a public event in Tucson. After Giffords' resignation following the shooting, she was replaced in a special election by Barber, one of her top staffers who was also shot twice himself during the massacre. Barber then went on to defeat McSally in the 2012 general election by less than one percent.
Prior to today's certification of this year's rematch, there were a number of oddities and controversies during the tabulation period. Among the problems, the reported Election Night failure of the paper ballot optical-scan computer tabulators in Cochise County to read a number of memory cards from the Early Voting period. Those sensitive cards store results of precinct-scanned paper ballots. They had to be flown by helicopter to another county before their contents could be discerned (even though paper ballots existed that could have simply been counted by human beings, rather than relying on electronic tallying systems.)
In addition to the troubling ruling last week by the U.S. District Court and the flawed electronic tabulation of some early ballots, local election integrity experts are also concerned about the state mandated process for "recounting" the ballots, a process which includes using the same flawed electronic scanners once again to determine if the initial scan was carried out accurately...
