1. 10 Lines You Need for Introducing Yourself in Hebrew
First impressions are absolutely everything! Right? No, wrong - who you are every day is much more important. But first impressions are definitely not unimportant either. Make sure to introduce yourself correctly, as it could mean the difference between getting a job offer or a polite refusal from an employer. HebrewPod101 shows you how to read, write and pronounce these self-introductions and conversation-starters like a native speaker!
But first, a tip - wait to be asked before offering personal details such as your age. Good conversation is about unspoken reciprocity, and giving too many personal details too soon can be embarrassing for your Israeli friend. Rather use phrases that encourage your friend to talk about him or herself - most people like doing that! Also, it shows you take real interest in other people.
1- Hello, it's nice to meet you.
שלום, נעים להכיר אותך.
shalom, na-eem lehakir otkha.
This phrase is an excellent way to start an introduction. It is a greeting that immediately expresses interest in the other person.
2- My name is Talia.
שמי טליה.
shmi Talia.
Self-explanatory - just replace 'Talia' with your own name! Also, pay close attention to what your new Israeli acquaintance's name is. Remembering it will make them feel that you are really interested in him/her as a person!
3- I'm from Israel.
אני מישראל.
ani me'Israel.
Sharing something about yourself is a nice conversation starter. It shows that you're willing to engage meaningfully with the other person. In an informal setting, you can expect the other person to respond in kind. At work, this is probably information you need to volunteer only if asked. Again, remember to replace 'Israel' with your own country of birth!
4- I live in Jerusalem.
אני גר בירושלים.
ani gar be'yerushalaim.
Same as above - replace 'Jerusalem' with your town or city of abode!
5- I've been learning Hebrew for a year.
אני לומד עברית כבר שנה. אני לומד עברית כבר שנה.
ani lomed ivrit kvar shanah.
Say this only if it's true, obviously. And prepare to dazzle your audience! If you have indeed worked faithfully at your Hebrew for a year, you should be pretty good at it! Use this phrase after your introduction - it is likely to indicate that you wish to engage in Hebrew conversation.
6- I'm learning Hebrew at HebrewPod101.com.
אני לומד עברית עם עברית פוד וואן או וואן דוט קום.
ani lomed ivrit eem ivrit pod wan o wan dot kom.
This will be the best reply if anyone asks (Very impressed, of course!) where you study Hebrew! Simply volunteering this information, especially in a casual conversation, could make you sound like a salesperson, and you want to avoid that. Often, an employer will want this information though, so best to memorize and have this phrase handy!
7- I'm 27 years old.
אני בן עשרים ושבע.
ani ben esrim ve'sheva.
This is a line that may just get you a 'TMI!' look from a stranger if you volunteer it without being asked. He/she may not be willing to divulge such an intimate detail about him/herself right at the start of your acquaintance, so don't force reciprocity. However, it's a good phrase to know in a job interview; again, probably best only if your prospective Israeli employer asks. Also, remember to give your true age!
8- I'm a teacher.
אני מורה.
ani moreh.
You're still offering information about yourself, which lends good momentum to keep the conversation going! Replace 'teacher' with your own occupation - and learn the related vocabulary with HebrewPod101!
9- One of my hobbies is reading.
אחד התחביבים שלי הוא קריאה.
ekhad ha'takhbivim sheli hu kri-ah.
Your hobby is another topic with lots of potential for starting a good conversation! People are often eager to talk about their hobbies, and why they like them!
10- I enjoy listening to music.
אני נהנה להאזין למוסיקה.
ani nehene le'ha-azin le'muzika.
If you're still talking about your hobbies, this would be a good line to go with the previous one. Otherwise, wait for your conversation partner to start talking about what they enjoy doing!
2. Important Tips for Introducing Yourself
A correct Hebrew introduction will make a good impression upon meeting a person for the first time. Why is this first impression important? Simple - it gives an indication of who you are as a person. So, while you want to be truthful when representing yourself, you also need to be prepared to put your best foot forward!
First impressions are often lingering and difficult to change. In addition, it's easier to make a negative impression than a good one, often without intending to. So, how can you make sure that your self-introduction will impress Israeli natives?
1- Research: First, research the culture! Different cultures have different social rules, and you will be halfway towards making a great first impression if you know the proper Israeli customs for self-introductions. It will also help you avoid social mistakes - sometimes, what is acceptable in one culture is insulting in another, such as making eye contact, or giving a handshake. In your culture, what is appropriate when a person introduces him or herself?
Also, be sure to distinguish between introductions in different situations, such as a formal and a social situation. There are bound to be differences in how you address people! The internet can be an important tool for this endeavor. Alternatively, you could visit your local library to search for books on this topic, or you could ask Israeli friends to explain and demonstrate their cultural habits for introductions. Honoring someone's culture shows that you respect it, and as we know - a little respect can go a very long way in any relationship!
2- Study the Correct Phrases and Vocabulary: Be sure to learn Hebrew phrases and vocabulary that tell people who you are, and that encourage them to engage in conversation with you. Each situation will determine how to address the person you want to introduce yourself to. Also, make sure your pronunciation is correct! It would be most valuable to have Hebrew-speaking friends who can help you with this. Or read on for a quick phrase and video lesson on Hebrew introductions right here at HebrewPod101!
3- Appearance: This is pretty obvious - if you want to make a good impression introducing yourself to anyone for the first time, you need to be neatly dressed and well groomed! A shabby, dirty or careless appearance and bad body odor are to be avoided at all costs; in most cultures, these will not impress!
Also, make sure to dress appropriately, not only for the occasion, but also for the culture. For instance, bare shoulders or an open-necked shirt is an acceptable gear in many Western countries. Yet, in some cultures, dressing like this could deeply offend your host. No amount of good manners and properly expressed introductions is likely to wipe out a cultural no-no! So, be sure to know how to dress, and take care with your appearance when you are about to introduce yourself to someone for the first time!
Following are some neat phrases with which you can introduce yourself in Hebrew, and get a conversation started too!

1234 Public Execution
Library of Heaven is Path Author:Heng Sao Tian Ya Vote(65) Comment
"Reporting to Hall Master He, I am the vice head of the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion, Wu Rufeng!" Wu shi quickly stepped forward to introduce himself.
"I know of you." Pavilion Master He nodded in response.
Even though the Qingyuan Empire was the weakest among the Eight Conferred Empires subordinate to the Empire Alliance, it was considered an individual entity. As the head of the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion, it was his responsibility to have some understanding of the Master Teacher Pavilions directly subordinated to them.
"It's like this… We have uncovered the truth behind the deaths of Pavilion Master Gou and Vice Pavilion Master Tian, and we have established this holographic communication in order to report the matter to you," Wu shi said.
"Oh? You have already uncovered the truth? Tell me about it!" Hearing those words, Pavilion Master He's expression became grim.
The death of the head of a Master Teacher Pavilion was a huge deal, so he had been keeping a close eye on the matter. However, despite dispatching Song shi, there still had not been any response yet.
Ordinary Communication Jade Tokens were only effective within a range of around a million li. Any further than that would require a large Communication Formation.
Song shi had not activated a Communication Formation ever since arriving in Qingyuan City, so Pavilion Master He had no way of checking the progress of the investigation either.
"In truth, Vice Pavilion Master Tian was the incarnation of the will of the Emperor of the Qingtian Lineage…" Wu shi swiftly told the story that he had prepared with beforehand.
There was not much deviation from the truth, just that the aspects concerning the Qingtian Emperor's teacher had been intentionally left out.
"An Otherworldly Demon Emperor has been hiding on the Master Teacher Continent for nearly two thousand years, even successfully inserting a spy into the Master Teacher Pavilion, and no one noticed a thing?" Pavilion Master He was clearly unable to believe what he had just heard.
If this matter was leaked to the populace, the repercussions would be even greater than the deaths of ten Pavilion Master Gous.
This was a huge breach in the responsibility of the Master Teacher Pavilion!
"That's right. It's fortunate that we have managed to eradicate him under Zhang shi's leadership," Wu shi said as he flicked his wrist, and two corpses fell to the ground. "These are the corpses of the Qingtian Emperor and his clone!"
Pavilion Master He quickly examined the corpses through the holographic image, and a grim expression set upon his face. "That is indeed the corpse of an Otherworldly Demon Emperor. Otherwise, there's no way he would be able to create such a powerful clone of himself."
As the head of the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion, he had a deep understanding of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe, and he knew that only those with the pure bloodline of an Otherworldly Demon Emperor would be able to execute such a cloning technique.
This was sufficient evidence to confirm the Qingtian Emperor's identity.
"Not only so," Wu shi continued, "Zhang shi has also managed to slay the Ten Kings of the Qingtian Lineage single-handedly…"
"To eradicate an entire Otherworldly Demonic Tribe lineage single-handedly… Even though the Qingtian Emperor harnesses the weakest bloodline among the Otherworldly Demon Emperors, it's still quite a formidable feat!" Pavilion Master He nodded in approval.
"It's no wonder he was able to successfully crash the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion. His talent and eye of discernment are indeed exceptional, perhaps even on par with some of the Sage Clan offspring! Where is Zhang shi at the moment?"
"The emperor of the Qingyuan Empire is a puppet of the Qingtian Emperor, and in order to blackmail Zhang shi, he took one of Zhang shi's direct disciples hostage. Thus, Zhang shi is currently rushing back to rescue his student," Wu shi explained.
"I see. That's a pity…" Hearing that Zhang shi was not around, Pavilion Master He sighed. "To destroy the entire Qingtian Lineage and foil their schemes to infiltrate mankind, sparing countless master teachers and innocent civilians from a tragic fate, Zhang shi has really done mankind a huge merit this time around! In view of his contribution, I hereby grant him the position of honorary elder in our Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion!"
"Yes!" Wu shi clenched his fists in agitation as he nodded.
While the position of honorary elder in the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion might appear to be an empty title, this position was actually associated with immense prestige and honor.
Under normal circumstances, only real 8-star master teachers were qualified to assume the role of an elder in the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion, and yet, Zhang shi was actually bestowed with it despite being a 7-star master teacher.
Putting aside himself, even the head of the Qianchong Conferred Empire Master Teacher Pavilion would have to address Zhang Xuan respectfully now.
"I'll have my men prepare the documents for the bestowment as soon as possible. By the time you all return to the Qingyuan Empire, activate the Communication Wall, and it should be ready," Pavilion Master He said with a smile.
"Thank you, Pavilion Master He." Wu shi quickly clasped his fist and bowed.
"There's no need to stand on ceremony. Zhang shi's accomplishments in killing the Otherworldly Demons and foiling their plans are a huge merit. In comparison to his deeds, the position of an honorary elder is really nothing at all.
"Wu Rufeng, you have also played a huge part in helping Zhang shi accomplish his mission, so I shall officially appoint you as the head of the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion right now. At the same time, I shall grant you an opportunity to come to the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion for an exchange!"
"This… Thank you!" Wu shi could not help trembling in excitement.
To him, becoming the head of the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion was not a big deal. What was more important was the exchange at the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion.
This exchange consisted of receiving the personal guidance of a real 8-star master teacher, and this would surely be deeply beneficial to his cultivation and eye of discernment. This was an opportunity that countless would die to have!
The reason Pavilion Master Gou was unwilling to tolerate any problems prior to his retirement was in hopes that a clean record in his term of service would grant him such an opportunity as well.
However, it was a pity that in his desire to maintain a clean record, he had neglected his responsibilities as a pavilion master. Thus, there was no way the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion would grant such a precious opportunity to him.
After dealing with Wu shi, Pavilion Master He turned to Hall Master Xing and the others and said, "As for the others, you have all bravely ventured into the Marshlands of the Northern Meadows despite the overwhelming risks in order to eliminate the Qingtian Emperor. All of you have done mankind a huge merit as well, so rest assured that I'll have this matter reported to the Empire Alliance Combat Master Hall and have them reward you all handsomely!"
"Thank you, Pavilion Master He!" Hall Master Xing and the others quickly clasped their fists and bowed.
"Alright! Send the corpse of the Qingtian Emperor over here as soon as possible. If we can examine his corpse carefully, we might be able to develop some countermeasures to deal with the Otherworldly Demon Emperors, and that'll bolster our fighting force significantly," Pavilion Master He said with a wave of his hand.
The Otherworldly Demon Emperors would never venture out of the otherworldly battlefield easily in consideration of the perils they would face on the Master Teacher Continent. On top of that, every single one of them wielded many life preservation means, making it highly difficult to kill any one of them. Even the Empire Alliance Master Teacher Pavilion did not have many corpses of Otherworldly Demon Emperors that they could examine.
"Yes, Pavilion Master He!" Wu shi nodded before making arrangements with Ji shi to have the corpse delivered to the Empire Alliance. After which, with a respectful bow, he bade Pavilion Master He farewell.
"Alright, since we are done with our report, it's about time for us to return to Qingyuan City!"
Wu shi and the others borrowed a saint beast from the Northern Meadows City Master Teacher Pavilion before swiftly making their way back to Qingyuan City.
After nearly six whole days of flight, the majestic infrastructure of the Qingyuan City was finally within view.
On the way back, Zhang Xuan had received two messages from Sun Qiang.
Firstly, they had headed to the royal palace to save Liu Yang. While they had managed to rescue Liu Yang, the latter had accidentally killed Chu Tianxing in a moment of rage.
Secondly, Liu Yang had abruptly left Qingyuan City, and there was no one who knew where he was.
Judging from the timing, it seems like Chu Tianxing was killed around the time that the will of the other Vicious dissipated. Chu Tianxing was bound to the other Vicious by a soul contract, so the death of the other Vicious' will would have resulted in his death too… Zhang Xuan swiftly deduced as soon as he received the messages.
In a show of loyalty toward Vicious, Chu Tianxing had offered his soul toward the other Vicious to establish a soul contract between them. A soul contract bound the life of the contractor to the contractee, such that the death of the contractee would result in the death of the contractor. Naturally, when the other Vicious died, Chu Tianxing lost his life as well.
Thus, even though it was only a conjecture on Zhang Xuan's part, he had a feeling that Liu Yan did not actually kill Chu Tianxing. Rather, it was a coincidence that Chu Tianxing's soul dissipated at that moment, resulting in the death of his physical body.
After all, even though Chu Tianxing was incapacitated at that moment, he was still a Half-Leaving Aperture realm expert. It did not make sense for Liu Yang to be able to kill him with a single punch.
If that was the case, Liu Yang and the others could only be convicted of unlawfully barging into the royal palace to cause trouble. With Zhang Xuan's influence from the successful pavilion crashing, he should be able to resolve the issue with ease.
Just that… why isn't Sun Qiang replying to my messages? Zhang Xuan frowned in worry.
Even though the matter was not a big deal according to what he had seen so far, the problem was that Sun Qiang had not replied a single time to him despite sending eight messages over the days. This left him worried that a mishap might have occurred.
Furthermore, Liu Yang's disappearance had also left him feeling a little unnerved within. Many days had already passed, so had they found him yet?
With a mind filled with doubts, Zhang Xuan finally arrived in the aerial space above Qingyuan City. He maneuvered the aerial saint beast to land at the accommodation that the Combat Master Hall had prepared for him.
"Principal Zhang, you have finally returned!"
As soon as Zhang Xuan landed, he saw Ruohuan gongzi running over with a mix of anxiety and relief on his face.
Noticing the peculiarity in Ruohuan gongzi's expression, Zhang Xuan asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"
"Something bad has happened!" Ruohuan gongzi exclaimed. "Liu Yang's act of killing Emperor Chu Tianxing has caused an uproar throughout the Qingyuan Empire! In order to appease the crowd, a master teacher named Song shi has ordered the public execution of Butler Sun and the other poison masters who participated in the raiding of the royal palace that day at noon!"
"A public execution of Sun Qiang and the poison masters?" Zhang Xuan's eyes narrowed in astonishment as his expression turned livid.
He quickly glanced at the sky and noted that the sun was nearly directly overhead. It was nearing noon!
In other words, Sun Qiang and the others could be executed at any moment!
"Yes! The entire Xuanxuan Faction has headed over to the square, intending to raid the execution platform. The only reason I stayed was to inform you of the matter as soon as you returned!" Ruohuan gongzi said anxiously.
"Raid the execution platform?" Zhang Xuan's eyebrows shot up.
Those fellows sure were gutsy.
The members of the Xuanxuan Faction did wield fighting prowess far surpassing that of their cultivation realm, but the problem was that their cultivation was still too low. Most of them were not even at Half-Saint yet, so how were they intending to stop the execution?
They would be captured by the soldiers guarding the execution platform before they could start anything!
"Bring me to the square right now!" Zhang Xuan bellowed authoritatively.
There was no time to be lost. If those fearless fellows really started something, it would be difficult to resolve this matter peacefully anymore.
Thus, Zhang Xuan grabbed Ruohuan gongzi and swiftly made his way for the royal palace.
While making his way over, he quickly had Ruohuan gongzi fill him in on the details.
"Who is that Song shi master teacher you spoke of earlier? How does he have the authority to order Sun Qiang's execution?"
Pretty much all of the master teachers in the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion were his students, and owing to their gratitude for his enlightenment, they would not execute Sun Qiang and the others recklessly without conducting a proper investigation of Chu Tianxing's death.
"Based on what we have gathered thus far, Song shi is a quasi 8-star master teacher from the Qianchong Empire. As he's an envoy dispatched by the headquarters, the other master teachers have no choice but to heed his orders," Ruohuan gongzi explained.
"He's from the Qianchong Empire?" Zhang Xuan frowned.
"That's right. After Chu Tianxing's death, the officials, nobles, and even soldiers of the royal court have been crowding outside the Qingyuan Empire Master Teacher Pavilion, demanding justice for Chu Tianxing. Unable to withstand the pressure from the populace any longer, Song shi eventually made this judgement," Ruohuan gongzi said.
Hearing those words, Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Indeed. For the emperor of a Conferred Empire to be killed so easily, if the Master Teacher Pavilion was unable to give a proper explanation for the matter, wouldn't everyone start fearing for their own lives?
"Where's Liu Yang?" Zhang Xuan asked grimly.
"After that raid on the royal palace, Liu Yang suddenly vanished. Song shi had all the master teachers comb Qingyuan City and its vicinity, but they were still unable to find him. We have no idea where he went. In fact, we believe that the reason Song shi intends to execute Butler Sun and the other poison masters is to force Liu Yang to appear. If they apprehend the culprit behind Chu Tianxing's death, they will at least be able to explain the matter to the Qingyuan Empire and restore some of the Master Teacher Pavilion's credibility," Ruohuan gongzi explained.
"Un." Zhang Xuan nodded.
Chu Tianxing's death in the heavily fortified royal palace had most probably scared the nobles and the officials of the Qingyuan Empire, as this meant that Sun Qiang and the other poison masters could effectively bypass any defense and kill anyone they wanted, and there was nearly nothing they could do to prevent it.
If they did not offer them a proper explanation, there was no way the other officials and nobles would let this matter rest. In fact, they might even start swaying public opinion against the Master Teacher Pavilion, and with the influence that they wielded, that could have proved troublesome.
"I can understand the difficult position that the Master Teacher Pavilion is in, but if they think that I will allow them to kill Sun Qiang and the others… over my dead body!" Zhang Xuan uttered coldly.An honorary elder would basically be an elder in name but possesses no particular authority.The Qianchong Empire is the number one Conferred Empire under the Empire Alliance, the place where the Sword Lagoon is located.

I have sent CDs on Agroterrorism to your Region Coordinators to be
given out at your region meetings next week. This is an impressive
piece of software, and I urge every teacher to use this with their
MS/HS classes and Young Farmer groups. It comes in a plain white
wrapper, but don't let that fool you - it is really good material as
well as being timely. The CD is produced by the University of Kentucky
and is free for any educational use. You can project the program for
class use or make copies for each computer or put it on your computers'
hard drives. It is best used as a self-paced instructional unit. There
are two programs on the CD. One is for general audiences and the other
is for training adults. There are 5 modules of instruction and I am
estimating that it would take a HS student about 15 minutes to go
through each one in detail.
The Agroterrorism CD has a certificate that can be printed to give to
your students/YFs -- but, it has Kentucky all over it. We can design a
certificate especially for Georgia if there is interest and send it to
you e-mail. I think that if your classes or YFs go through this
training that it is a news-worthy item for the paper as well.
I am also sending the Region Coordinator the other CDs and DVDs, such
as Poultry, Water and Meats, that some of you have requested. If you
have requested these CDs/DVDs, there should be an envelope at your
region meeting with your name on it.

The aftermath of the Christchurch earthquake highlighted difficulties in the assessment and repair of damaged plastic hinge zones in conventional reinforced concrete structures. Particular issues are uncertainty in strain history, low-cycle fatigue, strain embrittlement and how to replace damaged reinforcement.
Low-damage ductile-jointed systems such as Hybrid PRESSS-technology for concrete buildings and PRES-LAM for timber structures have been developed to control damage in plastic hinge regions and simplify repair. These systems provide self-centring capability using un-bonded post-tensioning and axial load, and can provide energy dissipation through the yielding of replaceable dampers. A number of new buildings in Christchurch have utilised these technologies.
Opus International Consultants has implemented research on low-damage bridge piers, developed by the University of Canterbury, into a real structure – the Wigram-Magdala Link Bridge. The bridge was designed with hybrid joints using concrete-filled steel columns, special replaceable damper bolts and internal un-bonded post-tensioning. This is believed to be the first bridge in New Zealand and possibly worldwide to adopt a low-damage ductile-jointed system.
This paper will use the Wigram-Magdala Link Bridge as a case study to describe the low-damage details adopted and the context in which they were used. The paper will then discuss the opportunities which exist for future incorporation of low-damage details on bridge structures. For example, the unique features of controlled and minimal damage, excellent post-damage performance and ease of repair offer the potential for a new step-change in seismic design philosophy – The opportunity to permit controlled and easily repairable damage to occur in a lower return period earthquake than currently permitted, enabling the more efficient use of materials, whilst still ensuring that collapse of the structure is reliably prevented in the maximum credible earthquake.

Rising Prayers of Gratitude
At Hope Fellowship Christian Reformed Church in Denver, Colorado, Pastor Michelle VanDenBerg, Debra Komodore, Lu Lofe, and the worship visuals team explored the idea of using rich liturgical visual images as an expression of thanksgiving.
Eight Creative Ideas for Thanksgiving Day
- Share stories of God's grace: For ideas on how to do this, see crcna.org/FaithFormation/toolkits/faith-storytelling-toolkit.
- Symphony of praise: Invite children (and children at heart) to come forward and choose either a small percussive instrument, a flag, or a ribbon to use during a sung time of praise.
A Thanksgiving Litany
This litany is adapted from one I wrote for our worship gathering on the Sunday of Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. The litany draws from the 1 Chronicles 16 account of David arranging musicians, priests, and others to praise God after the ark of the covenant had returned to Jerusalem. The celebratory context and the involvement of a wide range of voices and instruments encourages us to include multiple voices and instruments in our own thanksgiving celebrations.
(Note: All Reader parts come from 1 Chronicles 16:8–36, NIV)
Creating a Season of Thanks-Giving
As our worship team began planning for Thanksgiving, we realized we wanted to do more than offer a one-time Thanksgiving service. We wanted the congregation to think about what they were thankful for through the whole Thanksgiving season, and we also wanted them to think about how they could give back to God. This series was started six weeks before Thanksgiving.
Two Thanksgiving Litanies

Apple is expected to unveil iOS 7 at WWDC this year, and anticipation is high for the next version of Apple's mobile OS. With the departure of former iOS chief Scott Forstall and the transition of iOS into the hands of Jony Ive, everyone is excited by the potential changes that may be in store for iPhone and iPad owners.
In a recent conversation on Branch, John Gruber of Daring Fireball claims that "iOS 7 is running behind, and engineers have been pulled from OS X 10.9 to work on it." Clayton Morris of FOX News adds that he has also heard from engineers who were moved from "non-profit generating projects" to high-priority software projects.
Part of the reason for this scramble with iOS is allegedly a "system-wide UI overhaul" that Gruber says has prompted engineers to put polarizing filters on their iPhone displays so other people can't see what they are developing. Rene Ritchie corroborates what Gruber has heard and adds that "Ive's work is apparently making many people really happy, but will also apparently make rich-texture-loving designers sad."
There are also some rumblings about an April or May event to announce a new iPad. Supposedly, this tablet event will be distinct from WWDC, which will focus on iOS 7. The launch window for the next iPhone also is still up in the air with dates of July and August being tossed around.

Chameleons of the Sea
A priceless underwater eco-revolution is underway at Point Lowly, South Australia, with population numbers of Giant Australian Cuttlefish on the rise.
Growing numbers of divers and snorkelers are heading west to witness nature's wonder. Local diver, Tony Bramley, calls Sepia apama 'chameleons of the sea' due to their fascinating ability to change colour and texture according to their surrounds. He says to add it to your bucket list:
"Anyone can do it; you just walk into the water up to your neck, put a mask on your face and lean forward. There it is – one of the most amazing marine spectacles on the planet right at your feet."
My article appears in RM Williams Outback Magazine's Feb-Mar 2019 issue.
Brand SA News
Brand SA News is a brilliant initiative helping to put positive stories from regional South Australia under the spotlight. Here's a few of my recent contributions from the Limestone Coast. Thanks to Aboriginal elder and author Michelle Jacquelin-Furr, the uber-popular Metro Bakery and Cafe and make-up and gift box queen Katie Fox from Little Pink Box for sharing their stories.
Australia in Style
Very, VERY excited to receive a copy of this incredible book produced by RM Williams Publishing in conjunction with The Tailor – Australia's premier luxury travel specialist.
I wrote two of the articles, and one of them involved a trip to Port Lincoln…immersing myself in the experiences on offer when you book a tour through Goin Off Safaris. Here's some highlights:
Inside South Australia
I was involved in a Brand SA project throughout 2016, sharing good news stories from the Limestone Coast for the Inside South Australia website.
I was so lucky to have the opportunity to write about people I seriously admire, including photographer Ockert Le Roux, whose striking images are not only luring tourists to the region but inspiring locals to explore their own backyard. Brian and Benedetta Wagner from Wagner's Rose Nursery at Kalangadoo, vegan cook Leah Franklin from 'just frank', and the uber successful Generations in Jazz music festival (which is on again from May 5-7, 2017) also feature on the website.
Mundulla's Sustainable Community
I don't think I've ever seen a tidier, more community-driven town than Mundulla on SA's Limestone Coast. It's total tree-change perfection, from the gorgeous sculptures awaiting discovery on the walking trail…
To the historic buildings…
And those idyllic farming scenes that look straight from a film set!
RT Images and I made this video as part of Mundulla's national entry for the KESAB Sustainable Communities award. We also have some more good news stories on Tatiara towns coming soon!
Robotic Dairies – PIEFA Project
Over the last couple of years, I have been working on the production of a series of videos for the Primary Industries Education Foundation Australia (PIEFA) and Primezone in conjunction with creative agency Hello Friday. We have filmed at a cotton farm, a cotton mill, a piggery, a fish farm, a hydroponic herb grower, an organic apple farm, a woollen mill, a lobster factory, native bush foods growers, restaurants…the list is long!
It's incredible (and exciting) to see how far technology has come; there was none of that getting up at the crack of dawn bizzo at the robotic dairy we visited in WA – unless, of course, you get a smart phone alert to say that one of the cows hasn't come in to be milked.
Technician Robbie Nichols and dairy farmer Malcom Hick explain how it works…
Generations in Jazz – Mount Gambier
Mount Gambier in SA's Limestone Coast is Australia's jazz hot spot largely thanks to Generations in Jazz, and it's my job to help spread the word. This spectacular annual event on the outskirts of the city made famous for its Blue Lake not only attracts the jazz legends of today, but the bright stars of tomorrow, bringing together up to 4400 of Australia's most talented musicians, along with a growing list of global artists.
High school students from more than 100 schools around the nation compete in the Stage Band Awards, while highly coveted Jazz and Vocal Scholarships help to secure the musical destiny of individuals with enormous promise. And then there are the daily concerts – the sound inside the James Morrison big top pavilion, seating up to 6100 people in the middle of a paddock, is simply incredible!
Australian music icon Kate Ceberano was a special guest at the 2016 event, and I interviewed her about her visit to Australia's "jazz capital". What a glowing endorsement!
Wagner's Rose Nursery Video
Wagner's Rose Nursery is one of my favourite places on SA's Limestone Coast – pure heaven is a paddock of pretty roses surrounded by majestic gums!
It is impossible to leave this property uninspired – or empty-handed.
I recently finished producing this video which provides an overview of the business:
Labour of Love – Australian Period Home Style
Step back in time to Australia in the 1890s, and the bold era of boom style classicism design…
Extravagance, exuberance and even recklessness were the order of the day, as the nation toasted a post-depression period full of promise. When you add love to the equation, anything is possible, as evidenced by this exquisite country mansion completed in 1896 as a wedding gift to a lucky bride. An entrance hall with removable doors should you wish to dance…
Delicate hand-painted stained glass specially delivered from Melbourne, sash windows so high that you could step straight outside, plus many more fine details for this farmer's wife-to-be.
The besotted groom wanted to leave a lasting impression, and the property remains as breathtaking as ever thanks to a couple of modern-day cupids who believed in the fairy tale. My story on this incredible country Victorian property appears in Volume 10 of Australian Period Home Style magazine.
Profile on Rural Woman of the Year Sarah Powell
I was privileged to profile Australia's Rural Woman of the Year, Sarah Powell, for the Dec-Jan issue of Outback Magazine.
Sarah came to the judges' attention after developing a Champions Academy leadership program which promotes regional strength and resilience for future generations by creating a culture of mentoring within sporting clubs.
But friends and colleagues like Shelley Evans-Wild have known all along that she is a shining star: "She is an awesome communicator – so unassuming, yet she diplomatically presses buttons and is a troublemaker in all the right ways as she doesn't shy away from the questions that need to be asked," Shelley says. "You're held to account, but it's done graciously, and somehow you're smiling about it. Who does that at her age? She is quite an amazing young woman – she is a lighthouse that doesn't know she is a lighthouse."

ARDMORE, Ala. - Limestone County school leaders are trying to get the word out that they're in desperate need of more bus drivers.
This week, the school board said 'Yes' to a pay raise for anyone who signs up to drive, which includes coaches.
With green grass on the diamond, coach Andrew Smith's team is eager to take the field.
"They know when we come back from Christmas that baseball is here," Smith said. "They're excited and ready to get this season started."
Under state law, the Ardmore baseball team can't do batting practice yet. Practice is just pitching, catching and running for the Tigers. Ardmore has another month to go before they play their first game, in what'll be Smith's eighth season.
"In the past two years, there have been times we've needed drivers for games," Smith said. "The buses were available, but the drivers weren't."
Right now, coach Smith says the baseball team isn't required to take the bus. Parents, players, and coaches can caravan to away games. But Limestone County leaders say drivers are running short. And they want someone from every sport to have a commercial license within two years.
"It's a backup plan for us," Limestone County Schools transportation director Rusty Bates said.
This week, the county school board agreed to pay raises for school and activities bus drivers. They're now putting the word out to parents, volunteers, and coaches encouraging them to get their commercial driver's license.
"We have two large high schools. And on any given Friday night, if they're both on the road, we could have as many as 12 buses out," Bates said.
Smith plans to get his CDL this season. Thankfully, he says the farthest trip so far for the Tigers will be 80 miles to a game in Boaz.
At this week's meeting, the Limestone County school board approved two pay raises. Bus drivers on field trips will now get $15 an hour and substitute drivers who pick up and drop off kids from school will get $70 a day.

Female entrepreneurs in Newcastle are set to receive support and advice on adopting digital technology, thanks to funding from the Government.
As part of the Go Digital Newcastle initiative, the city has received financial help to deliver a series of workshops designed to support businesswomen into adopting digital technology.
The wwWomen programme launches next week and will see a group of Digital Champions mentor Newcastle women in using digital tools effectively to grow their businesses.
The scheme is open to an existing female-led business located in the city and will provide all manner of advice on topics such as broadband for homeworking, through to using technology to target more potential customers.
Designed to cater for 60 female entrepreneurs in the city, organisers hope the scheme will create a self-supporting network of female entrepreneurs who will be able to share knowledge.
Newcastle is one of only a handful of UK cities to be granted the funding with this intent.
Digital Ambassador Dr Joanna Berry, Director of Engagement at Newcastle University, said: "I'm proud to support the wwWomen initiative. Digital technologies have already made a huge impact on how business operates.
"This is a great opportunity for women in business to make the most of the new technologies available and to highlight the range of opportunities available from working on a digital platform."
Cllr Ann Schofield, Newcastle City Council's Deputy Cabinet Member for Age Friendly City and Digital Inclusion added: "Newcastle already has a thriving start-up sector but we want to do as much as we can to encourage more female entrepreneurs.
"In the UK there are over 2.4 million women who are not in work but want to work, and more than 1.3 million who want to work more hours.
"wwWomen will deliver a programme of masterclasses and workshops, and build a network of female-owned businesses. We are helping women to harness the digital skills they need to set up and grow their business."
Nicky Morgan MP, Education Secretary and Equalities Minister, said: "This fund will give women the practical help needed to get their businesses on-line and take advantage of superfast broadband.
"This will include on-line mentors, business clubs and training courses so that women all over the country can benefit."
wwWomen, delivered by Go Digital Newcastle, will launch on September 23 with an event at The Great North Museum: Hancock, featuring a taster workshop and talks from digital ambassadors Nicola Little of We Are Sparkle and Sarah Hall of Sarah Hall Consulting.
Among the other digital ambassadors are Chi Onwah MP and Fiona Standfield, director of Science City.
The Women's Business Council reported last year that if there was equality in the UK's labour market the economy could potentially gain 10% of GDP by 2030. An extra one million entrepreneurs would be created if women started businesses at the same rate as men.

The people here are just amazing. They make you feel VERY comfortable---even if you SHOULD be rushed (I was late). Aside from that, they all seem to honestly LOVE their jobs. The facility is also modern and cozy, not too big and not to small. The decor is modern and minimal: makes you feel sort-of Zen-like and relaxed. They are also non-judgemental: which is so much more important, for a company, than I can describe. I come from a multi-cultural family, although you can't tell when you look at me, and take pride in being able to comfortably be where some wouldn't be comfortable. But this is a place that I feel ANYONE would be comfortable...there's no reason not to be.

The will be a 100 yard score match at Harrison Sportsmans Club this Saturday, August 10, 2019. The gates will be open at 8AM and the first match starts at 10AM. All are invited to attend and shoot. We shoot BR rifles, Factory Rifles, and Factory Modified or Custom. We have a prize for each class that has three competitors and so you only compete with other rifles in your class. Seems fair enough. The cost is $15.00 per rifle. You can shoot in more than one class but probably not three classes as we havent had three relays all year. E-mail or PM me for directions to Harrison Sportsmans Club if you need that.
We will have coffee and donuts.

- "It's what Cordelia was wearing. It's the Symbol of Anyanka."
- ―Rupert Giles (Wishverse)[src]
Symbol of Anyanka was the green jeweled pendant worn by Anya during her time as a vengeance demon. As was the case with all vengeance demon pendants, it was the source of all her demonic power.
- "Kill the bad fairy, destroy the bad fairy's power center, whatever, and all the troubles go away?"
- ―Buffy Summers (Wishverse)[src]
When Anyanka arrived at Sunnydale High School, in 1998, her vengeance demon pendant attracted Cordelia Chase's attention, asking if it was from Gucci, the luxury fashion company. Anya denied it and explained: "it's an actual old thing, sort of a luck charm my dad gave me."[1] The explanation hid the reality of it being a thousand year old magical amulet given by her leader D'Hoffryn.
Anya lent Cordelia her power center, saying "I think you need this more than I do right now," while motivating her to make a wish. Once the wish was done, Cordelia appeared in an alternative reality still using the pendant, where Rupert Giles took it from her corpse in order to research it. In his books, Giles found out it was the Symbol of Anyanka, and that one should destroy her power center in order to defeat her, reversing all granted wishes and rendering her powerless — and human — again.
First unaware the vengeance demon's power center was the Symbol of Anyanka, the Watcher invoked her, who appeared with her own pendant on her neck. While fighting, he noticed the Symbol had an unnatural green glow, so he ripped her necklace and broke it with a paper weight against a table. The destruction of the Symbol brought the main reality back seconds before Cordelia's wish, but Anya had no power to comply with it anymore.[1]
Months later, after failing to convince D'Hoffryn to restore her powers, Anya tried to get her power center back by performing a spell with Willow Rosenberg, but they were unable to do so.[2]
After Xander Harris left her at the alter, Anya was once more offered her job as a demon by D'Hoffryn. She accepted, and received a new Symbol of Anyanka, which she maintained under her shirt when she tried to trick the Scoobies into making a wish against Xander.[3] The new Symbol was a light green stone, with oval design and silver chain, similar to Halfrek's.[4]
The spirit Anya, a copy from Anya Jenkins, received her Symbol of Anyanka when she also became a vengeance demon, having the original square design.[5]
Behind the scenes
- In the novel version of the video game Chaos Bleeds, Xander defeats the alternate reality Anyanka by remembering Giles smashing the pendent and then doing the same with the alternate Anyanka's. This renders her human and she runs off unlike in the game itself where Xander kills her in combat.

Hate crimes down in Canada, but Muslims more frequently targeted
A cameraman shoots a swastika painted on one of several cars, in Montreal, Tuesday, Feb. 24, 2015. (Ryan Remiorz / THE CANADIAN PRESS)
There were 17 per cent fewer hate crime incidents reported to police in Canada in 2013 compared with 2012, Statistics Canada reports. But the numbers also reveal that black populations are still the most frequently targeted in hate crimes, and crimes against Muslims rose last year.
Statistics Canada says a total of 1,167 hate crimes were reported to police in 2013. The majority are considered non-violent, "mischief" crimes, such as vandalism, graffiti and other forms of property destruction,
Hate crime motivated by race or ethnicity accounted for 51 per cent of all hate crime incidents. Religious hate crimes accounted for another 28 per cent, while crimes motivated by hatred of sexual orientation accounted for 16 per cent of incidents.
Although the number of hate crimes reported by police declined in 2013, some aspects remained constant. Black populations, for example, were still the most frequently targeted, making up 22 per cent of all hate crimes.
Jewish populations are also still the most common target in religiously motivated hate crime.
There were 93 fewer religion-motivated hate crime incidents reported in 2013 compared with 2012. Decreases were noted in crimes targeting every religious group except Muslim populations, who saw 20 more incidents in 2013 compared to 2012.
The vast majority of hate crimes in Canada – 97 per cent -- occurred in major cities. But the highest rates of hate crime in 2013 were in Thunder Bay, with 20.9 incidents per 100,000 population, and Hamilton, with 17.4 per 100,000 population.
Hate crime data have been collected on an annual basis since 2006. Statistics Canada says the numbers presented in this study likely underestimate the true extent of hate crime in Canada, as not all crimes are reported to police.
In fact, it's estimated that only about one-third of incidents are ever reported to authorities.

PRODUCERS of box office hits, '30 Days in Atlanta', 'A Trip to Jamaica' and '10 days in Sun City', have unveiled their December offering, titled 'The Accidental Spy'.
Described as intriguing and comedy-filled, the movie is a co-production of Peekaboo Productions and Corporate World Entertainment. It was shot on location in Lagos, London and Amsterdam, and is set to hit cinemas across Nigeria from December 1, 2017.
'The Accidental Spy' tells the story of IT specialist, Emmanuel Prince, who gets blindsided by his cheating girlfriend. When Prince travels to London and signs up for a reality show to take his mind off his recent woes, he unwittingly gets caught in the middle of a plot by a powerful Nigerian criminal cartel.
The movie features a multi-continent and diversely talented cast AY, Ramsey Nouah, Alibaba, Emma Oh My God, Rahama Sadau, David Jones David, Bucci Franklin, Bryan Okwara, Hollywood actor, Miguel Nunez Jr. (Juwana Man), South African star, Thenjiwe Moseley (10 Days In Sun City), and British debutante, Christine Allado, to name a few.
Lead writer and producer of the movie, Darlington Abuda describes 'The Accidental Spy' as a labour of love.
"I can't think of a better way to enter the December festive season. I am indeed elated by the fact that movie-lovers across Nigeria and in various other territories are going to enjoy this potpourri of love, laughter and action. We shot the movie with the mindset of giving Nigerians an awesome cinematic experience. I've always wanted to make a film in London. It's obviously one of the great cities of the world, and when you make a film in a foreign city you get a chance to really experience and imbibe their culture," he said.

(Discuss again the questions in the "Overview," plus the questions afterwards.)
(Discuss these OVERVIEW questions both at the beginning of your study of John, and again after you've studied together all 21 chapters. Your answers may change significantly once you've looked more closely at the entire book.)
Startup: Talk together about memorable experiences in your lives which taught you the importance of telling the truth.
1. To learn more about the author of this gospel, the apostle John, look together at Mark 1:19-20; 3:17, and 10:35-40; Luke 9:52-56. From this evidence, what kind of person would you guess John to be? And what differences in John's life do you think his friends were probably talking about after John decided to follow Jesus?
2. In this gospel, John describes himself as "the disciple whom Jesus loved." Look together at the following passages where this term is used, and discuss what they reveal about John's personality and about his relationship with Jesus: 13:22-25; 19:25-27; 20:1-9; 21:4-8, and 21:19-24.
3. How would you explain the meaning of the word light in verse 4 to someone who had been blind since birth?
4. Compare the way in which this gospel begins (John 1:1-18), with the way the other three gospels begin (in Matt 1:1-17, Mark 1:1, and Luke 1:1-4). What do these different "start-up styles" tell you about the purpose of each gospel?
5. The Greek word usually translated as believe in English is found 79 times in the gospel of John—always as a verb, never as a noun (belief). Scan this gospel together (or you may want to divide your efforts by having each person in the group look over a certain chapter or chapters), and find four to six instances where the word is used. What would you say John wants us to understand about this term?
6. Another word John uses often in this gospel (25 times) is the word truth. Scan the book together (or you may want to divide your efforts by having each person in the group look over a certain chapter or chapters), and find three or four instances where the word is used in the book. What does John want us to understand about truth?
7. Look together at a verse in another book by John: 1 John 2:6. What goals and motivation can this verse give you as you begin studying the life of Christ as recorded in John's gospel?
8. How can you ensure that your study of John is not merely theoretical and intellectual, but is instead truly practical and relevant? Talk together about this. What can you do to help keep the process alive and interesting?
Bible teachers often present John as the gospel that especially presents Jesus as "the Son of God"; in John, the divinity of Jesus is clearly apparent along with His humanity. From what you know of all four gospels, how does this emphasis in John come through, especially in comparison with the other three gospels?
1. Look together at each of these passages, and discuss which one you believe is the best candidate for "KEY VERSE" in the book of John—the one which brings into sharpest focus what this book is most about: 1:11-13; 3:16; 5:24; 10:10,11; 11:25; and 20:30-31.
2. What verses or passages in John's gospel present the strongest evidence to you that Jesus will be coming back to earth?
3. Even more than the other gospel writers, John is said to be a skilled theologian. How would you evaluate his theological skills, as you've observed them in this book?
4. What would you say are the strongest themes in the way John portrays Jesus Christ?
5. What would you say are the most important ways in which this book is unique in all the Bible?
6. In James 1:23-24 we're told that "anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like." In what important ways has the book of John been a "mirror" for you—showing you what you can and should do?

For me, it's always hot and humid in the Philippines. After breakfast, I prefer cold drinks but I rarely have any kind of cold coffee on hand. That is, unless I make it myself.
Turning hot coffee into cold coffee is really easy but it's time-consuming. Let a cup of coffee cool down for about 15 minutes and add ice cubes. I don't have the patience to wait that long. Really. I'll drink a glass of ice water before to going to all that trouble.
A lot of people think Starbucks invented cold coffee. I'm sorry, but the bottled Frappuccino wasn't even close to being the first.
I was drinking UCC canned coffee from vending machines on Okinawa in 1987. Starbucks didn't start producing the bottled Frappuccino until 1996.
Regardless of whether it comes in a bottle or a can, canned coffee isn't necessarily cold. It isn't usually refrigerated at grocery stores. If you want it cold, leave it in your own refrigerator for a few hours. Pour it over ice cubes if you want iced coffee instead.
With the UCC canned coffee on Okinawa, it took me a few tries to get the flavor I liked. The only English characters on the cans were "UCC" and "coffee". Everything else was written in Japanese. The vending machines had black coffee with sugar added, coffee with cream added and coffee with cream and sugar added. They were small, skinny cans and around 200 milliliters if I remember correctly.
There are several cold coffee brands sold at the Royal Subic store at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone. Starbucks and Nescafé are the only ones I see every time I shop there. I haven't bought a Frappuccino in years. The last time I went, I bought three Nescafé flavors. Black Ice, Mocha and Espresso Roast were the only flavors I found.
Nescafé is probably the most popular coffee brand in the Philippines, cold or hot. I don't know for sure, of course. It's just what I see the most of, in the stores and on TV. I honestly don't know if any of the other coffee companies have tried to get in on the canned coffee act.
That is, when it's prepared correctly. Starbucks seems to have a good handle on it, but I avoid their coffee shops. They're just too expensive, even here in the Philippines. There's a Seattle's Best coffee shop (also owned by Starbucks) at the SM City Olongapo mall, but I've yet to step foot in that place.
Some local mom-and-pop shops try to make iced coffee. In my experience, they screw it up more often than not. It even gets screwed up in some places where I wouldn't expect it to happen. I think I'll stick to buying coffee in a can and turn it into iced coffee when it suits me.
If I should have a craving for any kind of cold coffee wile I'm the road, it's safe and inexpensive to buy cans at a convenience store. Most are less than a dollar USD (less than 50 pesos) regardless of size. I just can't wrap my head around paying more for a cup of any kind of coffee (Starbucks) than an average Filipino can afford.

Today we are on
the Illinois River in Lacon. – That's in America, Dan.
– Oh, thanks. What is the story
with this river? Well, in the '60s and '70s, fish farmers thought
it would be a good idea to import Asian carp to eat
all those unwanted plankton. You know, plants, animals–
they're hungry boys. Obviously, immediately
escaped out into the river
and trashed everything. – Absolute nightmare.
– Yeah. And if you take a boat
with a shiny bottom
on this river, apparently
it startles the fish and they just leap
uncontrollably out of the water. So we're gonna take
our Phantom on a boat and hopefully get some lovely
slow-motion shots
of flying fish. You know they grow up to,
like, a hundred pounds? That's like you
flying out of the river
and damaging boats. ( laughing )
I'm not a hundred pounds. All right, well, let's go
suit up and meet the captain. – Shall we? All right.
– Yep. Oh!( music playing )– Dan: How's it going?
Captain Nate.
– Nate: Good, good. – How you guys doing?
– Dan: Yeah, good. First things first, though. Anyone die doing this before?
Anyone been killed by a fish? Nate: Nobody's ever been killed.
Just a few broken jaws, broken noses,
nothing too serious. – What?
– All right, let's go. – Nice little day out
on the boat.
– Yeah, we'll see if that's still the case
when a fish knocks me out. – So they are just
in different spots?
– Yeah. And when you find a school,
it's, like, crazy. Yeah, once I get a school, I like to circle
around that school and try to get 'em going
as much as possible. Rolling. Whoa! – Oh, I missed him.
– I didn't see that one. Gav:
Yeah, yeah, whoa! There was three or four there. – Flippin'-A!
– Oh! Oh! – Fish! Gross!
– Fish in the boat! – Crap.
– Get it. – ( laughs )
– You're all right, pal. What do you do? ( laughs )
What? – Just chuck him out?
– Chuck him out. – There he goes.
– So they poop in midair. They don't have stomachs,
so they just filter food
all day long. So when they jump out
of the water,
they defecate all over you. So they break your jaw
and then poo on you
for good measure. So when they land in your boat,
they just start bleeding, pooping, sliming. Ah, the poop,
bleed, slime fish.
They do everything. Yeah, yeah. To the left.
That's it. That's it. That's what I'm talking about. – Bloody hell.
– ( chuckles ) Whoa! – Oh, no! It's gone.
– Hold on. Oh, there's
craploads in there. Whoa! – God.
– All right, stop. Stop, stop. Jesus. All right,
let's watch that back. Dan:Whoa!That was crazy.– Gav:Looks nice.
– Dan:Yeah, it looks very nice. Gav:Very cinematic.
There's just a fish
in the background there.Not in water.– Gav:That's a shot.
– Dan:It looks fake.That one's just
right next to the camera.– They're all trying to
upstage each other. This one–
– Yeah. Look at this one in the front.
What a trollop. Look at that. That's, like,
ten feet in the air.Serious hang time there.Nice.It's kind of majestic
the way it was shot, as well.You're getting it coming
through the whole frame.So we've been told
that there's a channel marker
over there on some rocks. And if you take
the boat around it, that just fish
will jump around. So I'm gonna try
and stand on the rocks, and let's see if the fish
will jump around me. Nice and gentle.
Love it. Yeah. There we go. – ( engine revving )
– Just say when. – Ready, yeah.
– All right. Whoa, whoa, whoa! Jesus! All right, stop. ( laughs ) Dan, we got, like,
15 fish in the air.Whoa.That was crazy.Dan:For me that was weird,
because there was
nothing going on.It was completely quiet.
And then suddenly there was,
like, 20 fish in the air.I was just not expecting
anything, and then suddenly
I was scared for my life.Gav:I was looking at you,
and then they started
coming to the left,so I looked away from you.
Sorry.You're only in
the beginning of the shot.–But look at that.
– Dan:Look how slow– whoa!Look how many! Jeez.Gav:One, two, three,
four, five, six, seven,eight, nine, ten, eleven.Dan:
I was actually scared
for my life.There was just fish flying
They just keep coming.Dan:I'm actually glad you
weren't looking at me'cause I was cowering. Yeah.Gav:All right, well,
they seem to have dispersed.Maybe we'll hit 'em up again
a little bit later.– Dan:All right.
–All right, Dan,
for this next partyou're gonna need this
and this. Oh, joy. – All right.
Let's see about this.
– Go for it. Oh, God. This is not the most
stable thing in the world. How are you supposed
to sit on this? Nate:
Just like that with your legs
hanging out front. – There you go.
– Dan: Whoa! All right,
turning the Phantom on, Dan. – Okay.
– What are your thoughts
about this? I'm kind of nervous
and excited at the same time. – You'll be fine.
– Great, he says that. Rolling. Whoa! Flippin'-A! This is one of the most
mental things I've ever filmed. Oh, God. Whoa-ho! ( grunts, groans ) ( laughs )
All right, stop. Stop. He's gone in. – ( laughs )
– Oh, my God. Gav:At this point,
it was chaos there.There was like–
it was all coming up.Look at you in
the background of that.–Is that the one that got you?
– Dan:No.Gav:That one is on a quest
to the moon.– Dan:I think he pooed on me.
–He might've pooed.–Oh, there he is!
–There he is. Dan:So this one came up
from the right, I think.Let's go full slow on this.– Gav:Very cinematic,
isn't it?
–It is, yeah.– Gav:And then suddenly–
–( Dan laughs )Dan:
It's not even moving.He's just, like,
presenting himself.–Here you go.
– Gav:Why didn't you–Dan:
Why didn't I catch him?If you think about
my perspective, there was–I couldn't see him.
He came from the left.He just landed on me. Gav:You look like
a fallen soldier.You look like
you've been gunned down
in battle by fish.Dan:In slow-mo,
it looks so pathetic,because it's, like,
a fish landing on me.But in real time,
it absolutely annihilated me. – Yeah?
– It's a small fish, – but it did some damage.
– Yeah. So what I've changed,
we're now on
a much tighter lens 'cause you're gonna be trailing
a little bit further back, – and hopefully you get beaned.
– ( Dan laughs ) If I get clocked by one
of those, I might get
knocked the clean out. Well, let's see
if it happens, shall we? Oh, great, yeah. – All right, we're good.
– All right, here we go. Oh! Oh! Whoa! Whoa, whoa! Oof! Jesus. ( laughs ) All right, stop. Whoa! Aah!( Dan chuckles )
That was really scary.In the amount of time
it took you to swim
back to the boat, I've watched it,
like, three times, and I've just been laughing
the whole time. – Yeah, I heard you giggling.
– Look, there it is. – Oh, I see it.
– Missile! Gav:You see it absolutely leap
like a salmon.–Or like an Asian carp.
– Dan:Yeah, weird, that.Gav:
Straight up in the air.And it actually created
a bunch of glittery mist
in front of you.Dan:I saw it all the way,
the entire way.Gav:Your eyes
are just scanning it.It's right above you.Dan:I was like,
"What can I do about this?" Gav:You know exactly
what's gonna happen.Look at your face!Dan:
Comes back into frame.Oh, here it is.– Gav:Close your eyes.
–Oh, no.– Brace for impact.
– Gav:It hit right here.It hit right on the lens
of the GoPro.Dan:This must've caught
the whole thing.Look at this.Perfectly.Look at my head react.–It's, like, headshot.
–( laughs )( laughs )The legs skewer!That is one of my favorite
things we've ever filmed. – ( laughs )
– Just is, Dan. Do you know,
we didn't need
the camera for that one, 'cause I actually saw it
in slow-motion coming
towards my face. Whoa, whoa! Oof! ( slowed audio )
Whoa, whoa! Oof! ( slower audio )
Whoa, whoa! Oof! Gav: Oh, look at that. The sun's setting on
our lovely day of fishing. No, actually, it was
more fun than fishing. – It looked more entertaining
than normal fishing.
– It was fun. If you'd told me,
though, ten years ago that I was gonna be stood
on some rocks in the middle
of the Illinois River covered in slime,
poo, blood, flying fish, I'd have had
a lot of questions. – I love questioning
those moments.
– Yeah. – How did my life end me up
in this position?
– Yeah. Well, I think we got some
lovely-looking footage. Hopefully,
you enjoyed that episode
of "Planet Slow Mo," and you can click over here
to watch more. You can also subscribe.
That's also over there. Just figure everything out
over there. – You got some poo on there.
– Yeah, I'm covered in poo. I'm gonna get a shower.

Managing Boutonniere and swan-neck deformities

Boutonniere deformities
Surgery is not the answer for boutonniere deformities. I have tried many times without success. I have yet to meet a surgeon who can tell me honestly he has an operation that works well for boutonniere. However, boutonnieres can get good results with splinting, especially with the development of the new relative motion flexion splint by Dr Wyndell Merritt of the USA.
This is how we successfully treat chronic boutonnieres
serial cast them until full or near full extension of the PIP joint is obtained and the DIP joint is able to flex as much as the DIP joint of the same finger on the other hand. The lateral bands are still volar to the axis of the PIP joint if the DIP is still hyperextending.
start an 8 week full time (24/7) PIP extension splint. In the splint, have the patient practice active extension of the PIP and active flexion of the DIP
After 8 weeks, start them on an 8 week course of:
In the day, take them out of full time PIP extension splinting and
Put them into a relative motion flexion splint. This splint keeps the affected finger MP joint relatively flexed compared to the other MP joints. It stops the MP joint from hyperextending. MP hyperextension is bad for boutonnieres because it tightens the lateral bands, creating a downward force on them at the PIP level. MP hyperextension also relaxes the lateral slip of the long extensor pull on the lateral bands, which permits a lateral band downward pull at the PIP joint level.
Continue nighttime PIP extension splinting.
Acute boutonnieres
can be put in a relative motion flexion splint (or simulate one with a pencil between the fingers flexing down the boutonniere finger). If the relative flexion of that finger fixes the boutonniere, that is all that is required for 8 weeks. If not, they are treated like chronic boutonnieres.
Swan neck deformities
Early in the swan neck process, they are flexible. The PIP joint still has full active flexion. We like to treat them with 24/7 swan neck rings as there is no morbidity, they are functional and the rings are made of silver and stylish. Many people use rings instead of having the surgery. The rings are a figure of 8 at the PIP joint that keep the joint in slight flexion, stop full extension, and allow full flexion.
If the patient wants an operation instead, it will take them 2-4 months to recover. I prefer to take a slip of superficialis cut proximally and anchor it into the proximal phalanx to keep the PIP joint in just a little flexion.
Fixed swan neck deformities are best treated in my hands with PIP fusion in a better position of function.

Four Bradley Tech High School students donned Harley-Davidson hats in an emotional signing ceremony Wednesday, becoming the first youth apprentices in a new collaboration between Milwaukee Public Schools, Milwaukee Area Technical College and one of Milwaukee's most storied manufacturers.
"I'm so fortunate. I'm so honored to be here," said senior Debora Oquendo-Candelaria, whose mother and two younger siblings turned out for the event at Harley headquarters on the city's west side.
"This is not an opportunity everybody gets, especially teenagers in high school."
Oquendo-Candelaria and her fellow apprentices — Jamaris Flowers, Ethan Sanchez and Kiya Mooney — were selected from more than a dozen Bradley Tech students who spent the last few months touring Harley facilities and learning about the opportunities available there in the skilled trades.
As apprentices, they'll spend the coming school year at Harley — earning $16 an hour working in tool-and-die making, machine repair and maintenance, and electrical maintenance — and juggling coursework at Bradley Tech and MATC.
RELATED: Seeking young talent, Harley-Davidson launches youth apprenticeships in the skilled trades
The collaboration is aimed at recruiting and preparing a new generation of workers and narrowing the so-called skills gap that has made it difficult for many manufacturers to find employees. But it is also about creating opportunities for young people in the city Harley calls home, said Tchernavia Rocker, Harley's vice president of human resources.
"We love the idea that we can do something that matters. And these students represent what all of us hope and dream — that every young person gets to have an opportunity," Rocker said.
She said the four students, most of whom work to help support themselves and their families, were selected for their "grit, energy and desire."
"They're really inspiring in their own rights," she said. "They have the same challenges that so many of our children in Milwaukee have.
"Yet they're here. They've persevered through a rigorous program — when it would have been easier to step aside because they have family commitments, they have other commitments. They're here because they deserve to be."
The Harley initiative is one of a number of on-the-job training programs available to students in MPS, which has nearly doubled its apprenticeship program in recent years. Last year, 80 students took part, and the district hopes to have at least 100 in 2018-'19, said Terri Salzer, who coordinates the program.
If the Harley program is successful, the company said it may expand it to plants in Tomahawk and York, Pa.
"We believe this is a model, not just for Harley-Davidson. It's a model for this city. It's a model for this state, and we believe it's a model for this country," Rocker said.
Sanchez said the program was highly competitive and acknowledged the support students received throughout.
"It just makes us proud to know we were the first four that were selected,"
Asked what he learned about himself, he said, "that I'm persistent."
"The main lessons were persistence and responsibility."
The students signed their agreements and donned their Harley hats amid cheers from family members and supporters, including MPS Superintendent Keith Posley and MATC President Vicki Martin.
Parents and siblings were called to the dais as each student's name was called. And, in a particularly poignant gesture, Posley and Martin leaped to the stage to stand with a student whose family could not be there.
Sherice Flowers, whose son Jamaris earned one of the coveted spots, sat with her father at one of the front tables on Wednesday waiting for the ceremony to begin.
In some ways, they said, Jamaris is carrying on a family tradition working for Harley. One of his uncles worked there, and his granddad, Garvin, made Harley seats for Milsco Manufacturing Co. before retiring.
"I'm very excited," she said, about the doors that were opening for her son and his classmates.
"I'm just so glad that MATC and Tech and Harley have come together to give these kids this opportunity."
