    PEGASUS BOOKS SPRING 2022 Supercharge Your Brain James, Ph.D. Goodwin BOOK DESCRIPTION The definitive guide to keeping your brain healthy for a long and lucid life, by one of the world's leading scientists in the field of brain health and ageing. The brain is our most vital and complex organ. It controls and coordinates our actions, thoughts and interactions with the world around us. It is the source of personality, of our sense of self, and it shapes every aspect of our human experience. Yet most of us know precious little about how our brains actually work, or what we can do to optimise their performance. Whilst cognitive decline is the biggest long-term health worry for many of us, practical knowledge of how to look after our brain is thin on the ground. In this ground-breaking new book, leading expert Professor James Goodwin explains how simple strategies concerning exercise, diet, social life, and sleep can transform your brain health paradigm, and shows how you can keep your brain youthful and stay sharp across your life. Combining the latest scientific research with insightful storytelling and practical advice, HARDCOVER Supercharge Your Brain reveals everything you need to know about how your brain functions, and what you can do to keep it in On Sale: 01/04/22 peak condition.

  • The Thai Cave Boys' Rescue
    POLARISATION OF EXPERTISE IN THE NEWS MEDIA: THE THAI CAVE BOYS’ RESCUE Kim Grego1 Abstract: A corpus of English-language texts from news media sources worldwide was analysed to verify how the polarisation of the various options reported about the rescue of 12 Thai boys trapped in a cave in 2018 was constructed linguistically and realised discursively. Quantitative findings were interpreted from the perspectives of domain-specific languages, media language studies and media psychology. News sources were able to construct polarised opinions among experts but not among lay audiences, for lack of expert knowledge of both the journalists and their readership. Keywords: Tham Luang Cave Rescue; caving; English-language news media; lexical analysis; ESP; specialised terminology; popularisation; polarisation; Critical Discourse Studies 1. Background The event contemplated in this study refers to the disappearance, on 23 June 2018, of the Wild Boars football team, made up of 12 boys aged between 11 and 17 and their 25-year old coach. They remained trapped in the well-known Tham Luang cave, situated in the North of Thailand, having walked into it for a short visit, but being surprised and imprisoned there by an unexpected flood. As the water level rose, making it impossible to enter the cave, for several days the world remained suspended about the fate of the football team, whose young age contributed to making the news particularly emotional and engaging. Not only, as the days passed, the media worldwide kept covering the story with the little news that filtered from the official Thai sources. The scarcity of information added to the heated debate that arose among professionals as well as non-professionals about the possible ways of extracting the boys, all ultimately rescued alive from the cave after 22 days.

  • Ireland's Thai Cave Rescue Hero Rewarded
    PARAMEDICSTHAI CAVE RESUCE ON TV IRELAND'S THAI CAVE RESCUE HERO REWARDED Irish caver Jim Warny played a vital part in this summer’s heroic rescue of the Thai junior soccer team and their coach. His contribution to the rescue mission is particularly amazing since caving is purely a hobby for this Lufthansa electrician, and he tells Lorraine Courtney about having no hesitation in diving in at the deep end at a moment’s notice! im Warny was presented with a ‘Just in Time’ Rescue Award at the Irish Water Safety’s recent conference in Athlone, in recognition of his extraordinary contribution as Ja rescue diver to the Tham Luang cave rescue effort in Thailand this summer, when 12 boys (aged 11 to 17) and their 25-year-old assistant coach were rescued in this unprecedented operation exercised to military precision. On 23 June, the football team was trapped in a flash flood inside Tham Luang, just four kilometres from the cave’s entrance. After days of pumping water from the cave system and a respite from rain, the rescue teams quickly worked on getting everyone out before the next monsoon rain, which was predicted to start around 11 July. With some of the most highly-skilled cave rescuers in the world, the rescue became an international operation, including military personnel from Thailand, America, Australia, Britain and China. In total, the effort involved more than 10,000 people, including over 100 divers, many rescue workers, representatives from up to 100 governmental agencies, 900 police officers and 2,000 soldiers. The operation required ten police helicopters, seven police ambulances, more than 700 diving cylinders, and the pumping of more than a billion litres of water out of the caves.

  • A Case Study of Tham Luang Nang Non Cave
    RMUTSB Acad. J. 7(2 ) : 247 -258 (2019 ) 247 Geophysics under stressed: a case study of Tham Luang Nang Non Cave Chanarop Vichalai 1* Abstract In the middle of June, 2018, the members of Wild Boar Academy football team consisted of 12 boys and their coach were trapped in a flooded cave complex of Tham Luang Nang Non, Mae Sai District, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand. The plight of the boys and their coach had drawn international attention, with divers, engineers and medics among others flying in from around the world to assist the rescue mission. Initially, there were three maps provided by different sources but none of them were accurate. Therefore, an application of geophysical exploration technique was considered as the alternative method for the determination accurate cave route and geological structure that allowed water flowing through the cave. In addition, electrical resistivity imaging survey and seismic survey were also applied. The results of the resistivity survey indicated that the geological structure of the mountain was useful for drilling operation at D01 and D88. The resistivity survey results at North and South of the mountain indicated the possibility of underground water that flew to the cave. Moreover, the seismic technique used for the earthquake measurement was applied to determine accurate cave route and the position of seismic source along the cave route. The seismic source for this test was from the cooperation with the Royal Thai Navy diving team by hitting their own empty air tank on the ground floor. Unfortunately, the application of the seismic technique was not a success due to the interference of high ambient noise from electrical water pumps, groundwater drilling, and the rescue activities.

Lunn Edited by Peter Symes On Saturday, 23 June 2018, a football team of boys in Thailand, aged 11 to 16, finished practice under the watchful eye of their 25-year-old coach, Ekkapol Chantawong. The group then cycled to and entered a popular tourist attraction, Tham Luang Cave. Some of the boys had never visited it before and were curious to know what it looked like. They explored the cave for about an hour before turning around and retraced their steps. They could not get out. At around 9:00 p.m., Sungwut ??????? Kummongkol, leader of the Mae Sai Rescue Unit Team, received a call that some of the children had disappeared.
