Gross National Happiness
The Bhutanese grounding in Buddhist ideals suggests that beneficial development of human society takes place when material and spiritual development occur side by side to complement and reinforce each other. The term "gross national happiness", a concept of a quantitative measurement of well-being and happiness, was coined in 1972 by Bhutan's fourth Dragon King, Jigme Singye Wangchuck, who has opened Bhutan to the age of modernization. The four pillars of gross national happiness are the promotion of sustainable development, preservation and promotion of cultural values, conservation of the natural environment, and establishment of good governance.
In a 2007 study from University of Leicester, Bhutan ranked eighth out of 178 countries in Subjective Well-Being, a metric of happiness that has been used by many psychologists. In fact, it is the only country in the top 20 "happiest" countries that has a very low GDP.

Success! We started the day with a sail up to the Jakobshaven Isbrae ice field, created by the grounding of icebergs from the glacier against a recessional moraine. The glacier itself "flows" approximately 38m per day. However it only calves every 2 - 3 weeks according to local knowledge. This combination - fast flow rates and long periods between calving events results in very large bergs being discharged - see some of the attached photos!
Everyone except the scientists then boarded zodiacs and went off for a walk onshore. This freed the vessel up for us to take her into ice free waters, and tackle the engine noise issue. We deployed the hydrophone streamer and worked for about an hour with the captain and engineers, finally finding the optimum settings for running the vessel - speed, rpm and pitch of the propeller - with the least disturbance to our acoustics. We then started a trail line and ran for 43 minutes. Amazingly we picked a really interesting area and got some incredible results - multiple infilled channels, 250m of sediment deposition, sediment slumping and buried moraines.
After returning to pick up the rest of the voyagers, we started a second line, running for two hours parallel to the terminal moraine and ice field front. Again with spectacular results considering the engine noise issues we continue to battle. Interest had been raised having seen my roughly interpreted first profile, and the container had a constant stream of people wanting to see what we were doing and listen to the seismic returns from the hydrophone. Both the film crew and Quentin Cooper interview us and ask for detailed explanations about the equipment and principles behind what we are doing. I'm not sure what they said on their return to the nice warm bar but we then get numerous other people tentatively knocking at the container door and asking us to explain the profile.
This has been a good day. Not only have Dave and I managed to get two interesting profiles under our belt, but we have begun to raise interest amongst the artists onboard as to how they could take our work and incorporate it into theirs.

Just not the same as the real thing. Much drier on my soles. Not true grounding, but nice treating my feet to different surfaces. The skin on my soles is getting nice and thick so I can barefoot on almost any surface now.

Grounding the Masculine
2007
Acrylic on canvas 150 x 120 cm
For the last 5,000 years, male sky gods like Zeus and Yahweh have dominated both the Earth and most human cultures. Both religious and secular warriors have been our role models for "manhood."
This painting shows the evolution of "masculinity" away from violence and domination toward peace and spirituality. We see the transformation of the male into the Green Man, the Nature deity who has died and been resurrected in endless cycles throughout human history.
The modern Green Man returns, in partnership with his female counterpart, as an empowering image of the potential within all men to help rejuvenate and nurture our Mother Earth.

Are you a sound sleeper?
Subject: Fw: Fwd: Can You Sleep While The Wind blows?
This brings to mind Philippians 4:6, 7 and John 14:27. His peace is passes understanding.

Years ago, a farmer owned land along the Atlantic seacoast.
He constantly advertised for hired hands. Most people were
reluctant to work on farms along the Atlantic . They dreaded the
awful storms that raged across the Atlantic , wreaking havoc on the buildings and crops..
As the farmer interviewed applicants for the job, he received
A steady stream of refusals.
Finally, a short, thin man, well past middle age, approached
the farmer. "Are you a good farm hand?" the farmer asked him.
"Well, I can sleep when the wind blows," answered the little man.
Although puzzled by this answer, the farmer, desperate for help,
Hired him. The little man worked well around the farm, busy from
dawn to dusk, and the farmer felt satisfied with the man's work.
Then one night the wind howled loudly in from offshore.
Jumping out of bed, the farmer grabbed a lantern and rushed
next door to the hired hand's sleeping quarters. He shook the
little man and yelled, "Get up! A storm is coming!
Tie things down before they blow away!"
The little man rolled over in bed and said firmly, "No
sir. I told you, I can sleep when the wind blows."
Enraged by the response, the farmer was tempted to fire him on
the spot. Instead, he hurried outside to prepare for the storm.
To his amazement, he discovered that all of the haystacks had
been covered with tarpaulins.. The cows were in the barn, the chickens were in the coops, and the doors were barred.
The shutters were tightly secured. Everything was tied down.
Nothing could blow away. The farmer then understood what his
hired hand meant, so he returned to his bed to also sleep while
the wind blew. cid:image003.jpg@01C9A19B.19ED3A70
When you're prepared, spiritually, mentally, and physically,
you have nothing to fear. Can you sleep when the
wind blows through your life?
The hired hand in the story was able to sleep because he
had secured the farm against the storm .
We secure ourselves against the storms of life by
grounding ourselves in the Word of God..
We don't need to understand, we just need to hold
His hand to have peace in the middle of storms.
A friend of mine sent this to me today,
and I enjoyed it so much, that I wanted to send it to you.
I hope you enjoy your day and you sleep well.
GOD BLESS US ALL! Ü
Like its name this beetle is grounding. At work every thing is about prioritising, and not doing what you want when you want, so when on holiday or on a weekend Vincent and I can be cycling along and then a yelp goes up to stop. Immediately I jump off the bike, grab the beetle let it roam around on my hands for a while whilst Vincent gets the camera out and then I put it down, gently, and we both start shooting. Everything has come to standstill but naturally as this is what is important to us, seeing, admiring and capturing. I love prioritising nature.
Anyway onto the ground beetle we found crossing the country lane; the colours of this ground hunter are incredible and it blended into its roadside environment, of dying ferns, brilliantly. Its metallic, shinny ex-wing case makes it look almost space ship-like and its legs make it one fast mover. Usually nocturnal, thank goodness, it was out in broad daylight so we could check out its lovely ‘metal amour’.

Questionable if this is actually any benefit. Not sure where the actual cab-to-frame ground is, maybe via firewall to engine strap. Couldn't fit a drill on the other side of this mount to drill out the factory hole without removing the plastic wind dam.

Work underway the morning of April 7 to get the tug Gene Dunlap refloated and back to port. No fuel spilled.
The "Longone" already stripped four days after it's grounding on the rocks of Spirit's Bay, NZ.
According to the Northland Ages report on January 28th, 2010:
While the owner of this yacht tried to deliver people to the Spirits Bay Beach, gusty winds and a large swell sealed the fate of "The Longone".
And to add insult to injury, only one person on the beach offered assistance. No sooner was the yacht grounded on the rocks, did other by-standers immediately start looting. Taking anything from electronics to clothing and food. The paper goes on to compare the looters like locusts grabbing everything.
No one was injured and the yacht was insured and this is the important thing.
Another story was published in the same newspaper on February 7, 2010 with another side to the story from people on the beach. There is now contradiction to the original story and the chain of events.
Both stories can be read at the following links, you can decide for yourself.

Long gone and damaged beyond repair, grounded at Spirits Bay surrounded by conflict and controversy. Anyway you look at it, sad to see her sitting amongst the rocks.
