  • Diana Nyad, "It's Never Too Late to Start Your Dreams!"
    Get Inspired and Live Life to the Fullest! Diana Nyad, "It's Never too Late to Start Your Dreams!" Her eyes stung and her muscles ached as Diana swam through the rise and fall of the high waves inside the steel shark cage wondering how much more could she take. "I will not quit," she told herself; she was determined to endure. It wasn't the swimming that was conquering her, but rather the continued pounding of her body against the steel cage as the waves tossed her side to side like a rag doll and pushed her off course. At 42 hours and 76 miles from where she started, she abandoned her attempt at the world's longest recorded swim. It was 1978, she was 28 years old and this was Diana Nyad's first attempt at swimming the 110 mile stretch from Havana, Cuba to Key West, Florida. Although she moved on with her life, her competitive spirit never let her forget this failed attempt and she dreamed of one day swimming this challenging stretch of ocean. 33 years later, Diana dove into the warm waters of the Caribbean to finish what she started. This was her second attempt and it too ended in failure after 29 hours of swimming, again being blown off course as well as suffering asthma attacks. Several months later, she tried for her third time and made it 67 miles but was unable to overcome attacks from box jellyfish that were stinging her arms and legs, eventually sending her into respiratory distress. A year later, in 2012, Diana tried a fourth time and made it farther than her 3 previous tries, but was again taken out of the water after 9 jellyfish stings and the threat of bad storms moving in.

EXPOSURE SPECIAL photographs by ANNABEL MEHRAN 76 OUTSIDE MAGAZINE MAY 2017 xx factor OUTSIDE MAGAZINE 77 xx factor: the greats THE SUPERHERO Diana Nyad, 67 LONG-DISTANCE SWIMMER TALKING TO DIANA NYAD, you immediately understand how she swam almost 53 hours nonstop across the Flor- ida Straits. Positivity bursts from her at rapid speed. “I’d rather dream large and fail than shoot for mediocre and never discover my limits,” Nyad says. Her defi nition of large is, of course, exponentially greater than most humans’. In 2013, at the age of 64, Nyad became the fi rst person to swim, without the aid of a shark cage, from Havana to Key West, Florida. It was her fi fth attempt in 35 years. Nyad’s 111-mile feat places her fi rmly in the pantheon of ultra-endurance athletes. Between her fi rst attempt, at age 28, and the last four—all after the age of 60—Nyad suffered near fatal box jellyfi sh stings, the crushing force of a Gulf Stream that blew her dozens of miles off course, hypothermia, third-degree burns from saltwater chafi ng, vomiting from ocean swells, and the threat of shark attack. Six weeks after her historic landing in Florida, Nyad swam 48 hours straight in an outdoor pool in Manhattan to raise more than $100,000 for victims of Hurricane Sandy.

How are investments in public libraries reflected in their usage? These are all questions explored in the Public Libraries in the United States Survey (PLS) for FY 2013. This annual statistical report by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) shows how public library usage is changing over time. While some of the major public library output measures are showing short-term declines, many continue to show a ten-year increase in activity.

Amanda Brennan, a content and community associate at Tumblr, is perhaps better known as the “meme librarian,” thanks to a recent feature in theWashington Post. Brennan studies memes from their inception to their inevitable disappearance into cyberspace, looks at real-time trends and conversations across the site, conducts data analysis, and works on large-scale projects such as Tumblr’s Year in Review. Prior to taking the position at Tumblr, she catalogued memes for Know Your Meme, a website devoted to tracking the popular graphics. I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Brennan about her experience. Read "Lessons from a Meme Librarian."

TROUBLED WATERS: DIANA NYAD AND THE BIRTH OF THE GLOBAL RULES OF MARATHON SWIMMING * Hadar Aviram ABSTRACT On September 3, 2013, Diana Nyad reported having completed a 110-mile swim from Cuba to Florida. The general enthusiasm about her swim was not echoed in the marathon swimming community, whose members expressed doubts about the integrity and honesty of the swim. The community debate that followed gave rise to the creation of the Global Rules of Marathon Swimming, the first effort to regulate the sport. This Article uses the community’s reaction to Nyad’s deviance to examine the role that crime and deviance plays in the creation and modification of legal structures. Relying on Durkheim’s functionalism theory, the Article argues that Nyad’s perceived deviance contributed to the community in four ways: it fostered solidarity among community members, it provided an opportunity to clarify the rules, it prompted a clarification of the hierarchy between rules, and it offered an opportunity for change and modernization of the sport.

  • Spring Break Packet Grade 7.Pdf
    GRADE 7 Spring Break Packet ENGL-7 Spring Break Packet [Exam ID:2G1M6F Read the following passage and answer questions 1 through 8. Touching the Other Shore 1 Diana Nyad once explained that she always ignored the pain and discomfort that came with the goals she set for herself. She said it was important to overcome the barriers she encountered as she pursued new challenges. Nyad’s words summed up a lifetime of success as a long-distance swimmer, journalist, author, and speaker. 2 Born in 1949, she took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion. Like many young athletes, she had Olympic dreams. Nyad wanted to be part of the United States swim team at the 1968 Summer Olympics. A serious illness kept her from competing, however, so she went on to finish college instead. 3 The disappointment of not participating in the Olympics did not stop Nyad, though, from going forward with her swimming. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. The sport matched Nyad well. A brilliant athlete, she was well-conditioned for spending long periods of time in the water. Most of all, she was mentally fit for the sport. It takes a special person to tolerate the demands of swimming for miles in rough, cold water. Nyad knew she had the skills to compete with others and win. Now, as a long-distance swimmer, she would compete against herself and the obstacles presented by distance, danger, cold, and fatigue. 4 For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long- distance swimmers.
