Miles Story - Many of you who have seen the video segment on YOUTUBE or
various blogs on the internet, have asked about the 11 month baby who,
along with his father and the family dog, are in the videoclip. The baby
had 3 weeks of ISR lessons prior to having his simulated self rescue
while fully clothed skills videotaped. It is a re-enacted drowning
scenario that happened to a family whose baby was not skilled and
therefore drowned. In the scene we taped, both his mother and father
were present at the taping along with several other adults and his ISR
Instructor. As part of ISR lessons, parents are involved in the water
once their baby is skilled, for at-home practice only and you see that
they have practiced at home the end of the clip, when his father picks
him up.
I found this baby duck on our back porch, abandoned by its mother. I
took it in for a few days before giving it over to the care of an animal
refuge hospital. Miraculously, it ate just fine and had no health
problems to speak of. Here is a small clip of the cutie.
"The captain and second officer of a ship that caused New Zealand's
biggest sea pollution disaster when it ploughed into an offshore reef
have been jailed for seven months.
The Filipino officers were in
charge of the Liberian-flagged Rena when it hit the reef last year,
releasing an oil slick that killed thousands of sea birds and fouled
beaches in the North Island's pristine Bay of Plenty.
Captain
Mauro Balomaga and navigation officer Leonil Relon had pleaded guilty in
February to a range of charges including attempting to prevent the
course of justice by altering navigation records after the accident.
They also admitted operating a ship in a dangerous manner and discharging harmful substances from the cargo vessel." The Australian.
