Woman rescued after jumping into ocean to swim for cruise ship that left her behind
BY: Karina Nowysz ....The Daily Buzz
" Susan Brown, 65, was pulled out of the water by fisherman, who heard her cries after she was swimming for more than three hours chasing her ship, the Marco Polo.
She had suffered from severe hypothermia when she was rescued from the icy waters.
The thing that helped save her life is that she was clinging to her purse that helped keep he afloat."

This on falls under the :
'Ohh My Gosh What is Wrong Here' category......and is an incredible revelation on a story we need to be concerned with in terms of the education system and our future. It's imperative to me that the education process includes 'Failing Students' in any year when they don't reach certain standards during testing.

Adults Try To Pass A Fourth Grade Test
BuzzFeed ... March 28, 2016
"College is way easier than the fourth grade."
Comment woodbuck27:
Can we take confidence in the young adults today and that they will ensure for us a bright future? I'm more than a tad concerned. Why?
A part of my resume includes my experience as a teacher. It's incredible to me that the adults in this video stumble over questions that most fourth graders would ace.

Does this response fall under the 'Idiot Warning' category.
I like to be fair and simply deem it plainly as ignorance. :-)
If you sat at my Poker Table I'd have you skinned in about 10 minutes or less.
Good grief man....smell the coffee. :-) You shame yourself with your prejudice. Don't you have a certain pride in terms of a standard of quality posting here? I feel terribly sad for you.
1) I don't recall 'her' making any quotes.
2) Maybe if you acquired some reading skills you might be able to confirm the answer to your query.
Remember .....when everyone has deserted you because of your ignorance. God is on your side.

Caught on camera: Fort McMurray fire erupts behind Global News reporter
Global News ...May 3, 2016
Here are some photos:
https://ca.news.yahoo.com/photos/photos-wildfire-rages-causes-evacuations-1421179332640822/vehicles-travel-past-a-wildfire-1462318779052.html
This devastating fire is a disaster greater than the former largest ever fire disaster at Great Slave Lake.
The entire city (> 80 K residents) of Fort McMurray has been evacuated. 80 % of homes in Beacon Hill have been destroyed. Approx. 20% of the residents of Fort McMurray have headed south to Edmonton, Alta. Enroute many people ran out of gas. They are also running out of food along the highway.Edmonton and Fort McMurray are separated by approx. 420 KM ( about 240 miles ) and connected by a four lane highway. There is one route out to both the south and north. Those trying to evacuate north had to be turned around as the fires prevented an escape in that direction.
This disaster will impact our country economically with an immediate rise yesterday in gasoline prices . Mae and I saw gas prices rise in the order of 4-6 cents a litre depended on the distributor.
It's another hot and windy day in the area and fire fighters have an immense challenge to get this terrible fire under control. It's going to take fire fighter from across our nation being there to help out. I just heard that over 100 fire fighters are being sent out from Ontario.

Drive Director Nicolas Winding Refn's The Neon Demon Causes Cannes Walkouts
Ben Arnold ... May 20, 2016
" It appears that Danish director Nicolas Winding Refn’s new movie ‘The Neon Demon’ is causing quite the kerfuffle at Cannes.
At a screening of the new movie yesterday, which stars Elle Fanning as a wannabe teenage model and Jena Malone as fashion business make-up artist, critics were treated to themes of horror, murder, sex and necrophilia in the 'Drive’ director’s twisted take on the fashion industry. "
