Career Advice 2024
July 19, 2024 At Reser Stadium, Oregon State University, in Corvallis, OR, ex-OSU football player Steve Jackson delivered a commencement speech that was more than just advice. It was a call to action, a call to travel and discover oneself. The stadium was hushed as the students absorbed Jackson’s powerful message, drawn from his own transformative experiences.

Great white shark swims upside down in rare encounter

Tourists on the deck of a cage-diving boat were surprised when a great white shark emerged from under the boat swimming upside down in a rare encounter in South Australia.
Wendy Bower-Leech, who was among the tourists with Calypso Star Charters out of Port Lincoln, captured the moment in video earlier this month and shared it Thursday with the cage-diving company.

My roommate is signing up for cage-diving with sharks, and she asked if she could get out of the cage.

Cage Diving with Great Whites
To top off a long week of new experiences in South Africa, I went cage diving with great white sharks. I was apprehensive about the prospect, but knew that I'd regret not having done it if I chickened out. It turned out to be an excellent adventure, and an opportunity to see sharks twice as long as I am tall, and five to eight times as massive, come within a foot of the surprisingly thin cage bars before disappearing with disturbing ease into the murk.
We saw a total of seven different sharks, most of them younger and mid-size, although there was one fully-grown adult male who was an absolute monster. These animals are pure engine and teeth, purposeful and calculating in their movements, and perfectly suited for their environment. Their stabilizer fins and powerful tail provide them a remarkable stability in the water. It was fascinating to see how they explored the potential food with numerous languid passes, before eventually deciding to make a go of it with a much more energetic approach.
No one lost any fingers or toes, although a few people lost their lunch from the constant rocking motion of the boat as the diving got underway. Concerns about the worsening weather ultimately drove the decision to head for shore a bit early, but the images and experiences were already firmly imprinted.
