Saif Sea Electric Water Buoys

Amazing indeed… this can also be used during flood conditions… but for this to be effective it needs to be much bigger… so as to save 10 people at a time… wonder if this can be shaped in cylinder shape… like a banana boat…with gps capabilities for tracking… Saving 1 person at a time… with 1 device is too less… In India people’s lives have lesser value than in foreign countries… govt will not…

almost forgot to post this, thank you swan–

the sole thing i have ready for ockiss week ended up being a 1.2k word scene using characters from my novel project, soul rebel; featuring a poor parent-child relationship, sooooo definitely not romantic but it is angsty?

–––

Don’t panic. Steady breaths. The car jostles as it carries you over uneven road, the thrum of the engine uncharacteristically loud. ICE? Archaic. An assessment buoyed as you look between the front seats. No rear view camera, no phone port or GPS, just an open wound in the dashboard where a radio might have been once. The backseat windows are an opaque black. Looking towards the front only gives a view of a tree-lined highway, a narrow corridor. Capped by a dark, cloudy sky. Dusk? You’re not sure. Your glasses sit on you face, slightly askew. Can feel the tape pressing against the bridge of your nose. The grey-haired woman driving keeps her attention on the road, doesn’t even catch your eyes in the rear-view mirror. Her thoughts pulled close, impenetrable. That’s a technique, you now realize. One of many she never bothered to teach you. Never bothered, or…? “You’re awake.” Her voice is steady, clipped. She doesn’t wait to start into you. “Just what were you thinking?” You don’t answer right away. You’re buckled into the car seat. Body a faint halo of pain, more sore, more stiff than anything. Press of bandages across your chest. Still the same clothes, the skirt, the gloves. What does she make of that? You try the door. It’s locked, of course. “You idiot, do you have any idea how much of a pain in the ass it’s going to be to smooth this over?”  Rivka presses. “Let– Let me out.” This is it. This is everything you’ve been worried about. There’s no way she’s letting you go now. It’s over. “Do you have any idea how worried I’ve been?” Is her voice cracking? You have to be imagining that. She exhales, breath heavy, hands gripping the steering wheel bone white. “You are in deep trouble, young man.” “Woman. N-n-not a man.” Your own voice surprises you with the protest. It catches Rivka off guard as well. The briefest moment you pick up a ping of…. something you can’t identify and then her wall is back up. You can feel your heart beat quickening in your chest as the silence stretches on. “How long?” She asks. You don’t know how to answer that. How long since you knew something was wrong? How long since you started doing something about it? Rivka must have picked up on your thought process because she doesn’t wait for you to decide on an answer. “Is that why you ran off? Why didn’t you tell me?” The question catches you by surprise, a sharp laugh at the absurdity of it. Willingly tell Rivka anything you didn’t have to? Willingly admit to weakness? To uncertainty? In what world could you honestly believe Rivka would care? “Of course I would care.” She snaps back at you, not waiting for you to voice the thought. Like always. You’ll never do that to someone else if you can help it. “You think I was hard on you because I didn’t care?” Her voice frays. You catch a hint of her teeth grinding. “You’re my s–“ She catches herself, “–my child.” That old cover story again? “I’m– was– was a–a–a test subject.” “And I have been trying to give you the strongest knowledge base I could. All while getting the results to keep things going. I was protecting you. I suppose it’s too much to hope for that you’ve finally learned an appreciation for that.” It’s all bullshit. Even through her protections you can feel it. Something she’s holding back. Lying about. Trying to manipulate you. Like always. She’s either trying to draw you back in with this absurd pretension of being a family (as if you didn’t remember perfectly well what that life had been like!) or she’s actually bought into her own lie. Either way, it’s starting to piss you off. “Let me out.” “I do care about you.” Rivka repeats. If you didn’t know her better, you’d say she sounded hurt. “If– if you care, then let m-m-me out.” Rivka doesn’t respond to that. The silence of the engine hum growing like a gulf between you. Do you make a play for the driver’s wheel? Force a crash? If the car’s gasoline, then Rivka’s going to have to stop for gas at some point on the drive back to DC. Do you wait and make a break for it then? A heavy sigh draws your attention back to the front seat. Rivka hits the turn signal and pulls the car over. Puts it in park. The only thing restraining you is the seat-belt, which you unbuckle before the car even comes to a full stop. Rivka turns to face you, her face a stone mask. The slight off-color shade of green of her left eye the only indication that it’s artificial. You mirror it back, bracing yourself. Whatever she’s about to do, this might be your chance. “If you don’t come back with me, it’ll go to asset recovery eventually. They won’t just let this go. “S-say I’m dead.” A pained expression flashes across Rivka’s face, “and you’ll do what, Morgan? Live off the grid forever? You haven’t thought this through.” “I don’t– I don’t care.” “I won’t be able to protect you. Even my power has its limit.” “You never uh– you never p-p-protected me before.” You have to take a breath, steady your voice to keep the words from getting away from you. “I can– I can… take care of myself.” “Do you…” Rivka hesitates, eyes searching your face with an intensity that forces you to look away, “really hate me that much?” You don’t meet her gaze again with only the blinking chime of the turn signal to mark time passing. Blink. Blink. Blink. Blink. Don’t bother answering. If she really wants to know so bad she can just pull it from your mind like she always does. Rivka shifts position, reaching out a hand towards your face. You stiffen as she twines her fingers through the curls of your hair. Her nails lightly brushing against the skin of your cheek. Careful never to directly touch skin to skin. Always so careful to never touch you. And now what on earth is she–? There’s something unreadable in the expression of her face. “You take better care of that hair than I did, alright?” You stare back at her in mystified stupidity. She shifts on the seat, contorting herself to lean in towards you. The familiar strings of her telepathy weaving together in the back of your mind, pushing you to lean forward in your seat to meet her halfway. There’s a soft pressure on your forehead and for a moment quicker then you can process the totality of, it’s like you can feel Rivka perfectly. The shock of it as sharp as it is brief, the memory pulsing like an afterimage, like catching sight of the sun and seeing the ghost drift across your vision. A spasm of frustration, of grief, of so very un-Rivka-like emotion. She pulls back, dropping her hand away from you. Her face a mask again, but tighter than before. Pained, you realize now. “Be smart.” She says. “Don’t mess up again. And go easier on the eyeliner.” She turns away, facing forward in her seat. There’s a soft chunk as the doors unlock.

Its definitely encouraging says Leclerc of Ferraris Canadian GP turnaround as Sainz addresses team orders call

Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz cut positive figures after the Canadian Grand Prix as they recovered from a challenging qualifying session to score a strong haul of points for Ferrari – displaying improved tyre degradation in the process. Having struggled for tyre life earlier in the season, Leclerc and Sainz managed to go beyond the halfway mark of Sunday’s 70-lap encounter to overcut several rivals who had pitted under the early Safety Car triggered by George Russell’s crash. READ MORE: Verstappen hails ‘incredible’ milestone as he helps Red Bull hit a century of F1 wins Although Red Bull’s Max Verstappen, Aston Martin’s Fernando Alonso and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton were the ones to taste the Ferrari Trento on the podium, the Scuderia Ferrari pair were encouraged by the apparent progress Ferrari have made with their updated SF-23. “I think we couldn’t have done anything better,” reflected Leclerc, who dropped out in Q2 and started 10th after grid penalties were applied. “The feeling was good, the pace was quite good, so on that I’m happy. Again, starting from that far behind, that was the best we could do today.” Asked about the debrief that followed his early qualifying bath, with the Monegasque’s calls to swap intermediate tyres for slicks amid changing conditions initially being resisted by Ferrari and the switch then coming too late, Leclerc explained that the time for a deep analysis will come this week. This feature is currently not available because you need to provide consent to functional cookies. Please update your cookie preferences Race Highlights: 2023 Canadian Grand Prix “Yeah… I mean, we didn’t spend too much time on it, because we still had a race to do, which we did now, and today we must be happy about our performance, because it’s a good performance,” he commented. “The feeling with the car was great, we did a good strategy. All in all, it was a great management of the race and that is very positive. Now from tomorrow we will regroup and obviously analyse the weekend as a whole, and try to understand what we can do better for the future.” READ MORE: Alonso says he pulled off ‘70 laps of qualifying’ to beat Hamilton in ‘amazing’ battle for second As for the tyre life, Leclerc said: “Yeah, it is definitely encouraging. Again, the feeling with the car… I was really happy, so that is good. Tyre management is good, so it’s a positive Sunday.” Sainz, meanwhile, put in a recovery drive of his own to rise from P11, having been hit with a three-place grid penalty after qualifying for impeding Alpine’s Pierre Gasly in the Q1 phase. Sainz followed Ferrari’s orders to maintain position behind Leclerc “I think we had very strong pace today,” he said. “We showed that in a different track like Canada, to Barcelona, we are stronger, that the car is working well in the low-speed corners, we had also better deg [tyre degradation]. So yeah, a bit of progress, a bit of an encouraging day for the whole team. “I felt really good on that [medium starting] tyre. I was very quick, it felt like I could manage it no problem. I think we did some good progress, but I also think it’s down to circuit characteristics and we need to see how Austria plays out with going back to higher speed corners.” READ MORE: Hamilton buoyed by Canadian GP podium as he insists Mercedes are ‘going in the right direction’ Asked if he was disappointed at Ferrari asking him to hold station behind Leclerc when the race developed, Sainz replied: “No, I totally expected it, also because we were both trying to extend. “Obviously I felt very strong with the medium, that’s why I kept getting DRS and I could kind of feel like I had very good pace, but I think the right thing was always to extend that stint, go long and overcut the field to then go and finish P4 and P5.” via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

“I am Amber, a 29 years old Taiwanese girl. I started my running journey since 2014 and Triathlon for 7 Years. I am a scuba dive instructor, love the ocean and mountain, love sharing, and always outside.

The story of how I came to start running, back in 2015, I was still hustling through college, stressing over that transfer exam. One day a mate asked if I'd be down to join this chill running team. They promised good company, cool running spots, and interesting chats. I was curious and thought WHY NOT?

We were rocking the Nike+ app back then, and the organiser was this GPS Picasso, creating awesome shapes on our running routes. So, for my first-ever run, picture this: I'm in a Superman cloak, wearing Nike Air Force kicks (not the best for running), and throwing on some short jeans. We hit the streets of Taipei, everyone vibing high and having a blast. Crazy thing is, I smashed 11km that night!

The next day my legs were screaming, but I couldn't wait for the next run. It was crazy - I never thought I could pull off running that far. It blew my mind how positive vibes could turn things around. The combo of good company, positive energy, and the thrill of running... Life-changing! It's not just about the distance, it's the feeling of accomplishment, those endorphins kicking in, and connecting with awesome humans. And the organiser's GPS art just added a whole new level of fun. And let's talk about my outfit choice – Superman cloak, Air Force kicks, and short jeans – total madness, right? But it added this fun vibe to the whole adventure. Running with a crew in a supportive setting does wonders for your body and mind.

During my study days, I was heavily into dancing, but the demands of the college transfer exam forced me to step away from the dance group because practice sessions often ran late into the night. That's when I discovered running - a more manageable time commitment and a fantastic way to connect with some genuinely cool people always up for an adventure.

Joining the running community opened up a whole new world for me. The folks I met were not only fantastic running buddies but also amazing individuals from whom I learned a lot. Every run became an opportunity to enjoy the moment and soak in the positive vibes. It was a refreshing change, and I appreciated the flexibility it offered in my schedule.

So, from being a dancer to hitting the pavement, I found a new passion that not only kept me fit but also introduced me to an incredible group of people who shared my love for running and adventure.

After running with this group for two years, completing numerous 10k and 21k races, and even conquering the full marathon with them, I had built a network of amazing people. Then, one day, someone in the group came up with the idea of signing up for a triathlon. My immediate thought again was, "Why not? Sounds like a blast. I’m in!" There was just one hiccup - I wasn't exactly a swimmer, especially in deep water. So, I opted for the easier version of the race that allowed me to use a swimming buoy. Once the decision was made I just signed up for the swim course, diving headfirst into my first-ever triathlon training. I was so pumped that I didn't end up using the swimming buoy, and even registered for a 10k run the day after the triathlon race. And you know what? I got hooked. It was mind-blowing to witness all the hard work pay off. I discovered a version of myself I hadn't really met before and realised I was stronger and more capable than I ever gave myself credit for.

One of my highlights has been Cairns IM 70.3 in 2023. All the hard work paid off. 1.9km Swim, 90km Bike, 21km RUN. Swim 40 mins, Bike 3:03, Run 1:56 - 5:47, A massive PB and pure happiness. My past triathlon before this was six years ago, and I finished it in 6 hours and 33 minutes. Back then, my run never went sub-2 hours. Fast forward to now, I achieved a running personal best in the 70.3 distance after seven years of doing triathlons. It hit me – I've never really pushed myself hard and put in the effort like I did this time. Legs were hurting, but my brain was stoked. After navigating through numerous heartbreaks in life and taking a hiatus from training when I first started travelling, I can proudly reclaim the title of Triathlete. Grateful that I'm still capable of stepping onto the course and shining once again.

Queenstown Half Marathon 2023 was another highlight. My first Half Marathon in New Zealand with a PB 1:50h! Got the transfer slot 2 weeks before race, wasn’t really training for it but just keeping fit. The weather was mint as but the run course was beyond my expectations! Thought it would be a flat road but it turned out to be rolling hills and most of them were trails. Most of my time during race was in pain and not very enjoyable. But this race has amazing scenery and reminds me that I have to be stronger!!

Now I am running for myself – not only to meet people but to stay fit, happy, and healthy. I find it nice when I can dominate my time, be dedicated, and disciplined. It's also fantastic to explore a new place through running and give myself a break from the noise in my brain caused by all the realities of life. I've found that keeping up with running is the only emotional outlet to keep my brain fresh and my mind healthy.

Since I've been away from home for years, travelling can sometimes be a bit stressful for me due to the unstable life and loneliness. People around me come and go, and most of the time, I'm always on the move. I have to relocate to a new city and change jobs every few months because of visa limitations, adapt to a new work environment, and face different challenges in each new place. So I enjoy meeting people in a different kind of way - running.  

Meeting people through running, runners from around the world all share a similar vibe – they're happy, strong, brave, and have a solid mindset. Regardless of why they run or their fitness level, I respect anyone willing to break their comfort zone, embrace discipline, and I'm genuinely happy to get to know these amazing individuals.

Staying fit makes me mentally stronger during my days wandering around the world, and it makes me feel better and happier when I feel LOST while chasing dreams. I won't stop running, and I aspire to grow stronger, both physically and mentally, continually exploring my limits.”

Navigating the Risks: Exploring the Hazards and Challenges of Sailing

Professional Sailing is a thrilling and exhilarating experience that allows us to connect with nature and explore the vastness of the open sea. However, like any adventure, it's essential to be aware of the risks and challenges that come with sailing. In this blog, we will delve into some of the potential hazards and discuss ways to mitigate them, ensuring a safe and enjoyable sailing journey.

Weather Conditions:

One of the primary risks while sailing is the unpredictability of weather. Mother Nature can change her temperament in an instant, presenting sailors with storms, strong winds, fog, or sudden squalls. Keeping a close eye on weather forecasts, understanding cloud formations, and monitoring barometric pressure can help sailors anticipate and navigate through adverse conditions.

Collision with Objects:

Safety Tips to Remember When You Get Caught on a Fog While Sailing Out at Sea

Safety is always the top priority while you’re out on the water. However, there are some instances when our safety is put at risk; and foggy weather is one of them. When it comes to fog, it’s more difficult for sailors to navigate the waters because of low visibility.

If weather forecasts predict that foggy conditions will loom at sea, it’s best to wait it out on dry land before you embark on your journey. However, if you’re at sea and suddenly your Yellowfin boat gets caught up in a fog, make sure you’ll be prepared and know what to do. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Reduce Your Boat’s Speed

Because of low visibility the risks of colliding with another boat or other obstructions increase. If you’re running at high speed, it’s best to slow down when you’re pacing ahead. This will give you enough time to spot any obstacles before you so you can stop before hitting them.

Let Other Boaters Be Aware of Your Presence

For other potential boaters in the area who are also inconvenienced by the fog as well, make your presence known to them so they’ll be aware that you’re near them.

Turn on your running lights and blast your sound signals for a minute or two. Take breaks in between your sound signals so you can hear if other boaters are sounding their signals too. If you hear them, sound your horn back to let them know you’ve heard their signal and slow down your vessel’s speed to navigate safely without colliding with them.

Stay Away from High Traffic Areas

Areas such as channels, inlets, and bays are where you can find a lot of boaters navigating around. If you’re near a channel marker, proceed with caution as other boaters will head towards this area as well. Be on high alert and drive your boat to its slowest speed.

If you can, navigate away from these locations if you’re not confident enough to proceed here. Wait for the fog to clear up before you go near these locations.

Assign Someone to Be on the Lookout

If you’ve got crew members on board with you, assign one or two to be on the lookout for other boaters, obstructions, lighthouses, buoys, or signs of land ahead. Let them position themselves on the bow of the boat and on the stern as well. With extra pair of eyes on the lookout, you can navigate the waters safely and even get into the safety of land where you can go near and moor your boat securely while waiting for the fog to clear up.

Fog-related safety gear and equipment you should carry onboard which are especially useful in foggy conditions:

Personal flotation devices such as life jackets and life vests for every person onboard. It’s best to wear them during these conditions. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

A compass and map if you don’t have GPS or Chartplotter tool and equipment in your boat.

A VHF marine radio to directly communicate with the Coast Guard and even with other boaters around the area. Having communication with other boaters is helpful to navigate the sea safely as you proceed towards your destination.

A depth finder or fishfinder to let you show the water’s depth beneath your boat, so you don’t hit any submerged obstacles or run your boat towards the shore.

A searchlight to alert other boats of your presence.

A marine radar to alert you of nearby vessels. This equipment can be costly and not all boats have this important feature. But if you find yourself going offshore regularly, it’s best to invest in this one.

Horns, ship bells, and whistles to use to signal other boaters of your presence.

You can find these items in marine shops around your area, or you can order them through online shops.

If you find yourself with virtually zero visibility around you and don’t feel confident of your ability to navigate through the thick fog, just stop. Turn off your boat’s engine, throw down your anchor into the water, and wait for the fog to clear up. It’s best to be safe than sorry. Don’t forget to do the things mentioned above while you’re anchored. Doing these things ensure your safety and prevent any mishaps from happening.

HALF TERM REPORT: Williams Can they continue their 2023 progress after some encouraging signs?

The 2023 F1 campaign signalled the start of a new chapter for the illustrious Williams name, with James Vowles stepping in as Team Principal. Their goal was to make progress, having finished bottom of the pile last year – and so far, the signs are encouraging. Here’s their half term report… Best finish Alex Albon – 7th in Canada Williams know they have a car that will struggle at most circuits but be in contention for points at others, in particular layouts that include long straights where its slippery machine will shine. HALF TERM REPORT: Haas – qualifying promise but race day problems When that’s the case, you need a driver who will deliver when it matters – and in Alex Albon, Williams have just that. Canada was a great example, the Thai driver utilising a heavily updated car – and Montreal’s long straights – to start ninth and finish seventh to take six valuable points. That score alone accounts for more than half their tally for the entire first half of the season and played a huge role in putting them seventh in the constructors’ championship at the break. Alex Albon has excelled this season for Williams, particularly with his seventh-placed finish in Montreal Qualifying head-to-head Albon 12-0 Sargeant Albon comfortably had the beating of his previous team mate Nicholas Latifi – and that pattern has continued with rookie Logan Sargeant so far this year, the Thai driver unbeaten in the head-to-head after 12 rounds. Albon’s managed four Q3 appearances this year, including three on the bounce – Canada, Austria and Great Britain – and that strong speed over a single lap has opened the door for points on Sunday. HALF TERM REPORT: Alfa Romeo – Where do they stand after dropping down the pecking order in 2023? Race head-to-head Albon 10-1 Sargeant In race trim, Albon has had an impressive advantage over Sargeant, who continues to adjust to life in F1 and faces the additional challenge of having to learn a whole host of new tracks. When they have both crossed the line, Albon has always been ahead in 2023, the 27-year-old scoring on three occasions – the season opener in Bahrain and in the team’s home race at Silverstone in addition to that stunning Canadian GP result. Morale is high at Williams right now with some standout performances Going forward Morale is high in the team right now, the women and men in blue buoyed by some standout performances that are putting the team in the mix for their best constructors’ championship finish in years. Their target is simple – continue to make the most of their opportunities, particularly on tracks where their slippery Williams can excel on the straights. READ MORE: Our writers look back on 2023 so far and predict what's to come in the second half of the season Monza is their best shot for a big haul in the second half of the season. Albon was gutted to miss the race last year after being diagnosed with appendicitis – as he knew there was a chance of a huge score. If he and the team get everything right that weekend, a top-five finish wouldn’t be outside the realms of possibilities. Logan Sargeant is continuing to adjust to life in F1 Best moment Albon’s seventh place in Canada was Williams’ best result in two years and secured a haul of points that could be worth one or maybe two places in the constructors’ championship (and the prize money that goes with it) come the end of the season. He's made defensive driving one of his core skills in recent years – and they were on show for all to see at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. He didn’t make a single mistake on a very demanding race track. Chapeau. HALF TERM REPORT: AlphaTauri – Can a mid-season driver change lift them off the bottom of the table? Worst moment Albon was in good shape to score what could have been Williams’ best performance of the season – or at the very least a comfortable top-10 finish – when he ran sixth in the early stages of the Australian Gand Prix. But he slid a little wide at Turn 6, lost control and spun into the barriers. via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

The Reapers took Earth in a matter of hours. The Alliance knew the first wave would arrive from batarian space, but they were unprepared for the speed and scale of the attack.

The Reapers bypassed the Sixth and Seventh Fleets at Terra Nova and Eden Prime, flying straight from relay to relay where they could neither be tracked nor intercepted. The tactic was unexpected, since the navies of organic species would never risk coming out of FTL within combat range or leaving enemies at their backs to threaten supply lines.

At Arcturus Station, more than a dozen Reaper capital ships engaged the Alliance’s Second, Third, and Fifth Fleets. This was mere screening for the main force. Dozens more capital ships continued through the Charon Relay, where the First Fleet had been lying in wait but was soon destroyed. The Fourth Fleet, near Earth, had a few minutes of advance warning. It stood no better chance.

After destroying Earth’s comm buoys, smaller Reaper destroyers wiped out all GPS and communications satellites in Earth’s orbit and cut the undersea fiber-optic cables that linked the continents. Earth’s resistance now relies on outdated radio towers and a few quantum entanglement communicators whose matched pairs happen to be on other continents or outside the Sol system. Communication is so limited that the fate of entire nations remains unknown.

The capital ships bombarded defense installations and industrial centers, annihilating entire cities with populations in the low millions, including Adelaide, Hamburg, Al Jubail, and Fort Worth. Meanwhile, Reaper destroyers descended into the atmosphere to melt roads and capture population centers with minimal loss of life. This is not an example of the Reapers being merciful. More likely, they are herding their prey to make the coming harvest that much easier.
