CPW reminds the public to wear life vests

As stand-up paddle boards become more and more popular, Colorado Parks and Wildlife reminds paddlers to wear personal floatation devices when using this watercraft.

He had not wear a PFD and fell off his board when the wind picked up and stirred the water. He had to be rescued by park rangers. His wife, who was wearing a life safety jacket, also fell off her board but was able to swim to shore.

"So many people see paddleboards as low risk, but if you fall off your board into cold water you can get into trouble very quickly," said Kirstin Copeland, manager at Ridgway State Park.

On rivers or reservoirs, if a paddleboarder falls off there is no guarantee that the board will remain within reach. In rivers, the board can be pulled away by the current. In lakes, a board can be pushed away quickly by the wind.

The danger is amplified on reservoirs and ponds in the afternoons in Colorado when fast-moving storms bring high winds and stir up waves. Water temperature is also a factor; even though the weather has been hot recently, water in rivers and reservoirs remain in the 50-degree range which will quickly impair swimming ability.

According to CPW regulations, on any watercraft, the number of life jackets on board must match the number of passengers. Anyone 13 years or younger, when on the water, must wear a life jacket at all times. Every kind of craft is subject to the Regulations, including paddleboards, kayaks, canoes, sailboats, and sailboards.

Last year at Ridgway State Park four adults who were not wearing life jackets had to be rescued after falling from paddleboards. Two youngsters who were wearing adult-sized life jackets with reflective tape also had to rescue. The ill-fitting PFDs did not support them in the Water properly. Children must be fitted with properly sized PFDs.

"Anything can happen at any time on the water, so we urge people to be cautious and consider their own and their loved one’s safety while they’re enjoying the water," Copeland said.

A "smart vest" that allows stray dogs to stand guard

The safety jacket, equipped with a hidden camera, triggers an alert in case of unusual barking. What animals see is retransmitted on Smartphone residents. The goal: to give a place to these dogs often abused.

In Pucker, Thailand, stray dogs will put on their workwear. Often beaten, not fed and discredited by the population, these animals are still very numerous in the streets. A connected safety vest for dogs is currently being developed to change the look on them.

A subsidiary of Samsung, the advertising agency Ceil, and the Soy Dog animal protection foundation have incorporated a hidden camera and a neon computer into the fabric. The latter makes the distinction between conventional barking and those intended to give warning in case of unusual situation: an aggression, a fire, an accident or an intruder with suspicious behavior. A notification is sent to nearby Smartphone. On an application, residents see in real time what makes the dog react. "We do not think that any special training is necessary for animals. The connected jacket combines new technologies with their natural instinct. The only thing they will need is love and attention, "says project director in reflective vest at the online magazine Coconuts. The experimentation phase is launched.

In the long term, it would be a question of permanently changing the image of stray dogs in the country. "The problems of cruelty and the illegal meat trade are becoming more and more important in Thailand," he says. Capturing and locking up dogs cannot be a solution for the instigator of this device. "They have the right to continue living in freedom."

Reflective vest will protect police from danger

He is also accused of resistance to a public official that wear high visibility vest because he escaped to a burial carabineer called by the cries of the order. For stolen escape a stolen car: searches on other clothes found on board

A man is in detention for the robbery set today, April 29, at a Lyrical Street clothing store in Ravenna: a 35-year-old Moroccan arrested by the police mobile team which wear reflective vest in Avenue Randi while walking away After leaving the car damaged in an accident in the initial stages of the escape where he had not stopped at the end of a bourgeois carabineer. The man - with previous but regular residence permits and resident in Raven ate - is in a security cell with allegations of improper robbery and resistance to an official public. The looting of the robbery, a vest of 70 Euros, was recovered after it had been launched to eradicate it. Scientology has been investigating the white Fiat 500 used by the robbers - robbed in recent days in the area - and are still under investigation on other garments found on board the car and believed likely to plunder other blows.

Today's episode happened in Squash. The Maghreb came in and tried the safety jacket then leaned it on a shelf of the store and went out. Taking advantage of a moment of distraction the contract came hidden by seizing the boss but the anti-theft alert drew the attention of the Trader who followed him in the car park in front asking for the refund. As he climbed into the car, the man threatened to say that he would otherwise have killed her by investing her. Women's requests for help have attracted the attention of a passing carabineer (the Arms Provincial Command is just in front of the store) who has been celebrating the alt but it was not enough. The car's escape lasted a few tens of meters: in Perini Avenue, the impact with a sidewalk sent out the car. The next attempt at foot is over in the police arms.
