NDSU Yard & Garden Report for July 23, 2018 North Dakota State University Extension YARD & && GARDEN REPORT July 23, 2018 Vol. 6, No. 3 Tree-Eating Sharks It’s Shark Week in America. All week we can watch horror stories of people getting attacked by sharks: Rodney Fox was attacked by a great white shark in Australia. He recalled, “I’m looking through the pink of the water, through my own blood, and … I see the head. Getting bigger.” The shark bit into Rodney, ripping open his body, crushing his ribs and puncturing his lungs. Rodney required 462 stitches to seal his wounds. Ouch! Bethany Hamilton was surfing one day in Hawaii. Before she knew it, her arm was ripped off by a tiger shark. She said, “It was about a two- to three-second period and when it ... was attacking me all I saw was like a gray blur.” Are you scared yet? Imagine YOURSELF in a swimming pool. A trap door in the pool opens and a shark is released.

  • Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society ®
    our world-underwater scholarship society ® 47th Annual Awards Program – June 3 - 5, 2021 Welcome to the 47th anniversary celebration of the Our World-Underwater Scholarship Society®. It has always been a great pleasure for me as president of the Society to bring the “family” together each year in New York City, so of course it is with great disappointment that for the second year we are unable to do so. A year ago, as the pandemic was beginning to spread throughout the world, the board of directors made the difficult decision to put all scholarship and internship activities on hold. 2020 was the first time in the Society’s history that we did not put Scholars or Interns in the field. But there is good news – the Society has new energy and is working with our hosts and sponsors to safely get our incoming 2021 Scholars and Interns started on their journeys. We bring three new Rolex Scholars and five new interns into our family for a total of 103 Rolex Scholars and 107 interns since the inception of the Society, and all of this has been accomplished by our all-volunteer organization. Forty-seven years of volunteers have been selfless in their efforts serving as directors, officers, committee members, coordinators, and technical advisors all motivated to support the Society’s mission “to promote educational activities associated with the underwater world.” None of this would have been possible without the incredible support by the Society’s many organizational partners and corporate sponsors throughout the years. The one constant in the Society’s evolution has been Rolex which continues to support the Society as part of its Perpetual Planet Initiative.

    This week’s serving won’t mean much to our readers who live inland from the ocean, for instance, Zimbabwe (where several hundred of our e-friends live) is entirely land-locked – far from the ocean. We can read about something, maybe even watch a TV report on it, but it’s just not the same as being there! But for anyone who has lived near the ocean and had an encounter of the kind this Friday Food 'n' Therapy focuses on….. there is a primal fear that rises up that words can’t describe. In coastal Australia there is an expression that says it all…. GREAT WHITE….. This is not referring to an overweight murungu (white man)! But to the white pointer shark – the most efficient killing machine known on earth. Yes, the film JAWS exaggerated their size (they have been caught “only” up to 7 metres long), but the reality of what the more common 5m long specimens can do is legendary in our part of the world. Most Saturday mornings, I jog (while Elizabeth walks with our dog) with our running club alongside Georges River, some 30km from the ocean. There are signs nearby warning bathers about sharks. In 1936 a 5m shark lost its way up the river, and hungry, it killed and ate two people in two weeks. About five years ago, I swam across the same river nearby (where it’s only about 300m across); on the other side a man warned me that a dog was taken by a shark only the week before….

  • SOUTH AUSTRALIAN DIVING FATALITIES 1950–1985 (This Edition with Preliminary Reports of 1986-2004 Recent Cases) ______
    _________________________ SOUTH AUSTRALIAN DIVING FATALITIES 1950–1985 (this edition with preliminary reports of 1986-2004 recent cases) _________________________ Originally Published July 1987 in ADELAIDE, SOUTH AUSTRALIA, with the financial assistance of the COPYRIGHT © 2004 PETER HORNE (Original: ISBN 0 9594383 3 5) PREFACE When this book was first researched and published in the mid- 1980s, the South Australian Coroner (Mr Barry Ahern) and his clerical support officers under the Attorney General’s Office were extremely helpful and very supportive of my interest in this subject, often going out of their ways to provide access to files and copying facilities so that this study could be completed and the book published at minimal cost to enable the wider public to have cheaper, easy access to the material. Some 15 years later, in the first years of the 21st Century, I considered updating this work into a 50-year study so that more recent cases could be included to help identify trends in our local diving accidents. However, inevitable changes to procedures, personnel and rising copying costs sadly meant that such in-depth analysis of more recent cases would have to wait until a later date. Nevertheless, because accidents still continued to occur (including more at Port Noarlunga, an unusual number of shark attacks and a spate of commercial diving accidents), I was spurred to reprint the book so I could at least include a preliminary listing of these more recent cases. One of the key findings of my original study was that in the case of most ocean-diving accidents, it was mainly the lack of an efficient buoyancy system which significantly contributed towards the victims’ deaths, so I have been somewhat encouraged to learn that the more recent cases were not caused by the divers’ failure to have an efficient buoyancy system on hand.

He was one of the first in everything: dive operation owner, liveaboard captain and the first diver who filmed a documentary on great white sharks in the open ocean, making him the first to dive with “Jaws” outside the cage. “We descended in two cages tethered to the giant whale the water and chunks of blubber and bone hung in the water carcass… miles offshore in bottomless depths. We viewed a column. Then Gimbel made a spontaneous decision to break scene that was stunning… overwhelming to our senses. every rule imaginable at the time.
