If Volodymyr Kozyriev added up all the time he spent in the water, sometimes under freezing temperatures, it would exceed seven days per year.

One Life

#SirNicholasWinton helped rescue 669 children, mostly Jewish, whose families had fled persecution by Nazi Germany. On a brief visit to Czechoslovakia, he helped compile a list of children in danger + returning to Britain, he worked to fulfill legal + monetary requirements for bringing the children to Britain thus enabling the #CzechKindertransport. Winton acknowledges the vital roles of those who remained in Prague, like #TrevorChadwick, who "dealt with all the considerable problems at the Prague end + this work he continued to carry on even when it became difficult + dangerous when the Germans arrived.". The 9th + largest transport of 250 children was stopped at the last minute, canceled because Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939. Those children were removed from the train + returned to their families.
Winton kept his humanitarian accomplishments to himself until 1988 when his wife found his detailed scrapbook in their attic. The book was given to #ElisabethMaxwell, a Holocaust researcher who was able to locate many of #Wintonschildren. He was invited to the TV program #ThatsLife!, where host #EstherRantzen reunited him with some of those he had helped, as well as their families. Winton was knighted in 2003 + in 2025 a #film of his story was released starring #AnthonyHopkins #JohnnyFlynn + #HelenaBonhamCarter titled #OneLife - a reference to a line from the Talmud: "Whoever saves one life saves the world entire"

Russian regime’s legitimacy rests on the manipulation of history — Western leaders to visit Kyiv in show of support for Ukraine amid Putin’s sham truce — 5 things Putin conveniently left out of his Victory Day speech in Moscow — Russian glide bomb attacks on Sumy Oblast despite ceasefire … and more

"We now leave #navigation to our #phones. The result: more of us are getting hopelessly lost." #JohnHarris

"#GPS has cut us off from a basic human skill. It’s no wonder #mountain #rescuers are being called out so often. [...] Between 2019 and 2024, the total number of #rescues had increased by 24%, and there was a marked jump among the 18 to 24 age group, among whom callouts almost doubled. [...] across #Britain, there is evidently a mounting problem about the gap between people’s urge to experience wild and open spaces, and their ability to cope when they actually get there. [...] research suggesting that “people with greater lifetime GPS experience have worse #spatialmemory during self-guided navigation”. [...] retested 3 years after the initial research, when they found that “greater GPS use since initial testing was associated with a steeper decline in hippocampal-dependent spatial memory”. The #hippocampus is the part of the brain that deals with navigation: among London taxi drivers, the need to memorise so many geographical details was found to cause it to increase in size. But here were findings that suggested the opposite: reliance on automated #directions reducing people’s capacity to navigate for themselves." #cartography

Obituary for Stumpy the Kombu resident blue tongue lizard squashed by SUVs as Church St. is allowed to turn into yet another car park in Bellingen

#israel #lebanon : #war / #hezbollah / #infrastructure / #destruction / #rescuers / #killings

»Six percent of Lebanese people killed by Israeli fire in the past year are emergency personnel: 168 out of 2,710, medical workers and firefighters, above all. Not as “collateral damage,” but as targets, with missiles aimed at the ambulances in which they go to treat the victims of a bombing or directly at the post where they are on guard.“

"Great gratitude is due to everyone who works to save people, to help after the blows. Who devotes his life day and night to everyone being saved. All our regions, all our communities that need protection receive it from #rescuers of the State Emergency Service of #Ukraine. Thank you for your dedication, professionalism and humanity!"
