#everest wild rescuers

[thewildrescuersfanpage]

The quote "Why are those two sitting with their backs to each other?" "They had a fight." "Then why are they holding hands?" "They get sad when they fight." is SO Stacy and Everest coded. Like it's hilarious how even when they're mad at each other they're not ACTUALLY mad at each other. Everest growling about Stacy sneaking off to the town council meeting while she just keeps talking about how to get a camera like nothing's up. Him being so so MAD after the bunny rescue at the beginning of the series even while ever-so-gently tending to the rabbit and helping. Stacy being frustrated when Everest underestimates her even though she knows he's just trying to protect her. y'know. them.

what biome should we journey too?? (Or we could stay in the taiga!! :D but I think Everest would get upset if two clumsily enthusiastic humans showed up at the cave claiming to be 'readers' from a parallel universe. stacy and addison might be kinda fascinated by evidence of other universes though.)

Would you rather...

English, "International Edition" in progress. @0400z "Worldwide News Update" anchored by Joe Ramsey. § Rescuers searched for survivors Tuesday after a strong earthquake shook a high-altitude region of western China and areas of Nepal, damaging hundreds of houses, littering streets with rubble and killing at least 126 people in Tibet. Many others were believed to be trapped as dozens of aftershocks shook the remote region. Earth’s tallest peak, on Mount Everest, is about 75 kilometers southwest of the quake’s epicenter. The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake measured magnitude 7.1 and was relatively shallow at a depth of about 10 kilometers. China's Earthquake Networks Center recorded the magnitude as 6.8. Shallow earthquakes often cause more damage. § The Biden administration on Tuesday asked a federal appeals court to block a plea agreement for accused 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two co-defendants that would spare them the risk of the death penalty. The Justice Department argued in a brief filed with a federal appeals court in the District of Columbia that the government would be irreparably harmed if the guilty pleas were accepted. It said the government would be denied a chance for a public trial and the opportunity to "seek capital punishment against three men charged with a heinous act of mass murder that caused the death of thousands of people and shocked the nation and the world." § President-elect Donald Trump is still set to be sentenced in his hush money case this week after a New York appeals court judge on Tuesday swiftly rejected his second attempt to get it called off. Judge Ellen Gesmer, of the state’s mid-level appellate court, denied Trump’s request for an order that would have indefinitely postponed sentencing and halted the case while he appeals a decision last week upholding the verdict. § The risk to the general population from H5N1 bird flu remains low, a World Health Organization spokesperson said on Tuesday, following the first death of a patient from the virus in the United States. The patient, who was over 65 and had underlying medical conditions, was hospitalised with the virus in December after exposure to a combination of backyard chickens and wild birds, Louisiana health officials said. § Meta is ending its fact-checking program in the U.S. and replacing it with a "Community Notes" system similar to that on Elon Musk-owned X, the Facebook parent said on Tuesday. The Community Notes model will allow users on Meta's social media sites Facebook, Instagram and Threads to call out posts that are potentially misleading and need more context, rather than placing the responsibility on independent fact checking organizations and experts. @0405z "Daybreak Africa" begins presented by James Butty (w/African accent). 100' (30m) of Kev-Flex wire feeding "Magic Wand" antenna hanging in backyard tree w/MFJ-1020C active antenna (used as a preamplifier/preselector), JRC NRD-535D. 100kW, beamAz 350°, bearing 84°.

In Daring Underwater Cave Rescue, 4 of 13 Thai Are Freed

MAE SAI, Thailand — When the wail of the ambulance siren first reached the Thai village, people started cheering: The sound meant one of the boys trapped in a cave for more than two weeks was out at last and on his way to the hospital.

After more than a week of searching the flooded cave complex, and then days of planning a daring and increasingly desperate rescue, divers safely evacuated four of 13 members of a youth soccer team on Sunday.

Nine remained behind, waiting their turn to escape, as of early Monday morning. The boys on the team range in age from 11 to 16, and the coach with them is 25.

One by one, the first four to be rescued emerged after a treacherous, hourslong journey through the tight, underwater passageways of Tham Luang Cave. Skilled cave divers, part of a team assembled from around the world, hugged the four to their bodies as they swam through the dark.

“The 4th wild boar is out of the cave,” said a posting Sunday evening on the Facebook page of the Thai Navy SEALs, who are aiding in the rescue. The Wild Boars is the name of the boys’ soccer team.

[Follow the latest developments on our Live Briefing.]

After the first four were rescued, however, the evacuation came to a halt. There was no choice: The rescuers had used up all the air tanks divers had placed along the route, said Narongsak Osottanakorn, the head of the search operations. It would take divers 10 to 20 hours to replace the tanks for the next rescue attempt, he said.

The rescue was far from over — but it was a remarkable turn in the 16-day drama that has captivated Thailand and the world.

“Today, everything was very smooth,” Mr. Narongsak told a throng of reporters at a news conference. “Today is the best day, with the best situation of the weather, the health of the boys and the water level.”

It took 10 days just to locate the missing boys, who were deep inside the flooded cave complex. Then it took nearly another week to figure out a way extract them.

None of the options were easy: Drill through a mountain. Wait months for the floodwaters to recede. Or escort scared and exhausted young people, few if any of whom could swim, through an underwater maze that was daunting even for the world’s best cave divers.

After considering several alternatives, Thai officials settled on a tandem dive arrangement with the boys wearing full face masks so they could breathe normally.

Underscoring just how dangerous getting the boys out of the cave could be, the operation suffered its biggest setback on Friday, when a volunteer diver, Saman Gunan, 38, a former Thai Navy SEAL, died after losing consciousness while underwater. He had been placing air tanks along the route — the same task that other divers must now hurry to complete.

But Sunday’s rescues went more quickly than expected, offering hope that the remaining nine team members could be extracted soon and safely.

With most of the team still in the cave, the rescuers were racing against time, and the weather. Dark clouds shrouded the mountains above the cave much of the day Sunday, bringing heavy rains and threatening to raise the water level in the cave once again.

Mr. Narongsak said 90 divers assisted in Sunday’s rescue, about 50 of them from overseas. He said 18 divers — 13 foreigners and five Thais — made up the team that brought out the four.

He did not say which countries the foreign divers came from, but British cave divers have played a key role in the operation, and the United States, Australia and China have all sent teams to help. Divers from several other countries have also volunteered.

The divers entered the cave at 10 a.m., and Mr. Narongsak said at the time that he expected the first rescue to be done by 9 p.m. In fact, it was three hours earlier than that. The last of the four was taken from the cave before 8 p.m.

All four were quickly transported to a hospital in Chiang Rai, the nearest large city.

Before the mission began, expert divers said the first mile of the journey out of Tham Luang Cave would be the most dangerous.

The tandem divers could expect to face strong currents and pass through perilous tunnels, without any air pockets for safety in an emergency.

“Everyone knows exactly what they have to do, because any confusion in there would be really bad,” Mr. Narongsak told reporters shortly after the operation began.

Only a day earlier, on Saturday, Mr. Narongsak had told reporters that a rescue attempt was not imminent. But the weather worsened suddenly overnight, prompting officials to move quickly.

“We believe there are no days when we have been readier than today,” Mr. Narongsak said on Sunday. “If we don’t do the rescue on the day when we are readiest, we might lose the opportunity to carry out this mission.”

The cavern where the group took refuge is about 2.5 to three miles from the cave’s lone entrance. When the cave is flooded, it can take skilled divers more than five hours to make the trip from the entrance to the cavern.

Crews have been pumping huge amounts of water out of the cave, which has helped improve access to the area. But water levels farther from the entrance have dropped more slowly.

Residents of the region were jubilant over the rescue of the first four.

In the town of Mae Sai, where the trapped boys’ soccer team is based, residents and family members celebrated the sound of every helicopter and ambulance they heard, proof that some boys had left the cave and were being rushed for treatment. The medical conditions of the four people rescued were not known.

“I am so happy!” said Kamon Chanthapun, an adviser to the boys’ team. “I was so worried because they are just children, stuck for so long in the dark.”

One of the team members, Adul Sam-on, is a student at the Ban Wiang Phan school here. Inside, students had written messages on heart-shaped sticky notes placed in a big heart shape on a bulletin board with optimistic messages. “Hopefully our friend can come out safely,” read one.

Adul was the boy who spoke to British divers in English in the video that announced to the world that the team had finally been found after 10 days stuck in the cave.

Many family members have spent every day and night at the command center near the cave, praying for the boys to come out alive.

Relatives said they were not angry with the coach, Ekkapol Chantawong, for taking the boys into the cave. Instead, they praised his efforts to keep them alive during the ordeal.

“He loves the children,” said Nopparat Khanthawong, the team’s head coach. “He would do anything for them.”

The boys’ got trapped in the cave on June 23 after they biked there with Mr. Ekkapol after practice.

The vast cave complex was mostly dry when they entered. But the cave is, in essence, a seasonal underground river, and rain began falling soon after they arrived. Within hours, they were trapped by rising water.

Their discovery after 10 days inside the cave, and the successful evacuations on Sunday, beat what many had seen as discouraging odds.

A United States Air Force rescue specialist and cave diver who is assisting in the operation said conditions in the cave complex were so challenging that finding the boys was akin to climbing Mt. Everest. And bringing them all out safely, officials said, would be even harder than locating them.

Two British divers discovered the group on Monday evening just as they were laying down the last of their guidelines and were about to turn back.

Since then, the boys have been regaining their strength and learning how to use diving gear in preparation for their escape.

Four Thai Navy SEALs have stayed with the group, including a Thai army doctor who is also a SEAL, who was seen on a video clip treating their scrapes and cuts.

In Thailand, the plight of the boys brought together, at least temporarily, a country that has long been divided between the urban elite and the rural poor.

The country also has a relatively new monarch, King Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun, who ascended the throne in 2016. He has let it be known he is closely monitoring the search and rescue operation. He donated supplies to the rescue effort and urged officials to bring out the boys as soon as possible.

On Monday, divers are expected to try to rescue as many of the remaining boys as they can.

“I’m really happy now,” said Mr. Nopparat, the head coach. “But I’m still rooting for the rest of the team.”

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - The bodies of 11 climbers have been actually recuperated coming from Malaysia's greatest top Mount Kinabalu after a 6.0 enormity quake activated a collection of landslides, authorities mentioned on Saturday, as rescuers looked for eight still skipping. Cougar in Tucson made use of woodland and also stayed clear of urban and also agriculture gardens (- NlnLAMBDA.sub.8 = 0.028, P This all resulted in a bottom line derivable to shareholders for the 3 months finished June 30, 2015 of 1.6 thousand or minus $0.01 each reveal as compared to take-home pay from 9.5 thousand or even $0.08 every share for the three months finished June 30, 2014. Some of the key ramifications this breakthrough is that is actually exposes a relationship in between temperature as well as mountain building.

Stacy's dynamic with the wolves in Wild Rescuers is so fascinating to me in that it's nebulous. She describes herself as being raised by them, and Everest is described as both her best friend and throughout the whole series acts lowkey parental towards her. (Addison also acts sort of parental. In fact, they seem to be the "makes decisions about Stacy's upbringing" wolves. Like in Escape To The Mesa when they look at each other and are the ones who decide whether to go to the Forest of Perpetual Darkness.)

At the same time, though, Stacy is definitely sort of "in charge." She's uncertain whether Everest or she herself is the alpha at the beginning of Guardians of the Taiga, lectures Wink and Addison (who taught Stacy to do math), and plays fetch with Everest. Basil seems to think Stacy can get her "in trouble" when Basil steals the camera. Stacy ends up making a lot of "calls" (like, are they going to go into the dangerous cave, or no? Are we gonna leave for a different biome, or no?) The pack treats her as an authority in many matters.

BUT the wolves are also protective of Stacy, usually walking in defensive form around her when they're out and about and especially when they're on a rescue mission. Stacy says in Expedition on the Tundra that they (roughly quoting) "take care of her in almost every way" and are shown keeping her safe (like when they held Stacy back from the water when Noah went to get her charms from her bracelet for her.)

It's an interesting power dynamic, because Stacy may be in charge as co-alpha, but at the same time she is sort of their child.

I also find it interesting how, even though Stacy is one member out of seven, the wolves adjusted everything to accommodate to her. Changing their sleep schedule, adapting to eat less meat, (presumably) having furniture in the cave, going on animal rescues.

And then there's the fact that Stacy herself starting leading the pack out on animal rescues because they inspired her. She says in Guardians of the Taiga that she knew "[And] how wonderful it was to be rescued," and thinks to Everest, "I have to rescue these animals, just like you and the other wolves rescued me."

All in all, Stacy's found family with the wolf pack is unconventional in their dynamic, and I love them for that. Rescuing someone that then joins their family is done several times in the series, namely with Stacy's pets (and of course Stacy herself) and it's a really unique and sweet take on the found family trope. So often found family tropes start assigning characters to places like "mother of the group" or "little brother of the group," but, though Wink is kind of like Stacy's annoying, silly little sibling, I will die on this hill Stacy's family with the wolves remains sort of hard to describe and really loving without being traditionally sorted into parent-and-child roles, ending up with a give-and-take dynamic similar to the whole "taking turns with the braincell" dynamic. It's compelling and fun to read.

Naturally, it took Miriam a hot minute to trust the wolves. Ok, maybe they're magic, maybe they care about Stacy specifically, but they're still dangerous to people, right? She stopped considering them a threat about when she walked into a scene of Wink trying to eat an entire pumpkin in one bite while Tucker frets over his jaw's potential injury, Basil eggs him on, and Everest growls with the displeasure of a leader too tired after a long day to do anything about it. No longer a threat, they are simply too silly

Hi! I got the new book "Rescue Tails: The Treacherous Tower" and loved it <3 it was a cozy little read and here are my thoughts:

Basil and Stacy bonding time!!! would love to see individual rescues with her and each of her wolves. character dynamics. they are family.

rainforest awareness, we love to see it

The scene where Stacy thought she might die was actually kind of visceral, love wild rescuers' ability to just intertwine near death experiences with just her everyday life

the bat!!! gotta appreciate that gross little guy

So Everest can only hear Stacy's thoughts if they're both in the same biome/Stacy is in the taiga, huh? interesting. might do a more detailed analysis of that.

the ocelot kitten was adorable

OF COURSE Stacy is that kid who's friends with the librarian that's HER <3 <3 <3

Stacy honey you look adorable Mathilda Lemming doesn't know what she's talking about

and you are TOO SWEET for not insulting her back
