The United States Coast Guard was assisted by a good Samaritan in rescuing a man who fell overboard with no life jacket six miles off the coast of Santa Cruz Island.

According to a press release issued by the Coast Guard, watchstanders at the Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles/Long Beach command center received a distress call from a 49-foot boat around 3:45 p.m. Saturday.

The watchstanders subsequently diverted a 45-foot medium response boat (RB-M) from the Channel Islands Coast Guard Station and deployed auxiliary air support. In addition, the crews of the Coast Guard Cutter Blackfin and an MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter from San Diego also launched in support.

Despite the massive response from Coast Guard officials, it was a good Samaritan that located the man first, USCG said.

“At approximately 4:33 p.m., a good Samaritan vessel located and recovered the man,” the Coast Guard’s release stated. “[Officials with] Towboat U.S. met with the vessel, confirmed the identity of the man, and Channel Islands Station RB-M boat crews embarked the man and transferred him back to the 49-foot vessel.”

The rescue by the good Samaritan – whose boat is aptly named “Perception” — highlights the importance of life jackets, officials said.

What is so hard for you to understand about a form 144? The form is used to notify the intent to sell shares. Those shares are sold at current market price. So if he has sold any of his shares they have been at .0001. Your fairytale of shares were already sold is complete BS as well as your BS of being sold at .001. NONE of his shares were sold prior to the Form 144 filing and obviously 100 million shares haven't sold in the past week since the filing. The Form 144 was filed when he put in the sell order with his broker. So what the form 144 means is another 100 million .0001's are going to flood the market.

Form 144 is a mandatory filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that notifies the public and the SEC of an intention to sell restricted or control securities. The filing must be made when the sell order is placed with a broker-dealer, and the securities can be sold within 90 days of filing.
Restricted securities come from private sales, while control securities are owned by affiliates like directors or large shareholders.

Awesome story VF thanks for sharing.

Here’s one from triple digit heat in TEXAS.

Sometimes we get to see and experience the absolute great side of life!

On Friday, July 19th, Deputy Allen responded to a motorist assist in the county. Upon arrival, he met with a man who had graciously stopped to help a female and a family member with blown tire. He had issues changing the tire with what was on hand and called our dispatch. Deputy Allen arrived and the 2 worked together over the next 20 minutes to get the old stubborn tire off and to get the spare safely on. And they did this in the wonderful West Texas afternoon heat of 100 degrees with zero complaints. Once the job was completed, the female and her family member went on their way...and so did this helpful citizen and our Deputy, with nothing else said or discussed.

Then, apparently the man decided he was impressed enough with Deputy Allen to call dispatch and let them know how he went above and beyond to assist (even though the citizen was already doing a wonderful thing by stopping and helping another person in need). He did not ask to be identified or called back, he just wanted someone to know that Deputy Allen did a great job. Dispatch let the Patrol Lieutenant know of this and even though we do these things every single day, it is rare it is brought to our attention in the manner of a positive phone call. He found the video from the call and grabbed a couple of screenshots.

So thank you to our good citizens and our Deputies for being who you are! We know this type of positive interaction happens all the time, but hey, this one got an extra highlight because of the complimentary phone call and we appreciate the heck out of it!!!"

Good Samaritan on jet ski helps save drowning man from Caribou Lake

CANOSIA TOWNSHIP, Minn. (Northern News Now) - Quick thinking from a good Samaritan on a jet ski may have saved the life of an Esko man.

Just after 7 p.m. Saturday, the St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office was dispatched to Caribou Lake in Canosia Township for a report of a 64-year-old Esko man having difficulty breathing.

When crews arrived they learned he had fallen off of a jet ski when it flipped in the lake and he was not wearing a personal flotation device.

According to authorities, the man was having trouble staying above water and a good Samaritan saw him struggling in the water.


The good Samaritan then responded on his jet ski and pulled the man from the water and to shore where the man lost consciousness.

The drowning man was attended to by medical personnel and transported to Essentia Health Duluth by ambulance.

He was stable at the time of the transport.

The St. Louis County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind everyone of the dangers of being on our abundant, beautiful waterways while not wearing a PFD. Please wear your PFD and use caution while enjoying our waterways responsibly.

You got rid of the stalker.
Thank you!

[VeronicaFox]

No, it was U.S. Independence Day, I had a party with friends and family like I do on the 4th of July every year - had a blast! FYI, the markets were closed.

One request, there is no “fool force”, that’s just something you fabricated. This board is not for posting lies. If you want to post promos, please do it elsewhere.

[DJ Ponder]

Yes, once ya see marty feldman? you”ll never forget him and those eyes!

[VeronicaFox]

Young Frankenstein, right? I’m not a huge Mel Brooks fan, but I saw every film Gene Wilder was in. I believe he and Brooks were creative collaborators.

Love love love vintage movies!

[DJ Ponder]

Why didnt you say you never heard of Raging Bull
I may have kept my mouth shut.
Lololol

[VeronicaFox]

Oh my, that’s ancient! Although RB was a bit like Ihub is now. If you have a question and ask admin, zzzzzzzz. It was better when they had several admin. I loved Linda, she was down to earth, really tried to help, a joy to talk with.

[DJ Ponder]

I may be ready for a date!

How’s another ten at RAGING BULL SOUND ?

YIKES!

[VeronicaFox]

Yikes! That’s dating you a bit….lol, jk!

[DJ Ponder]

Its now been 23 years of ihub for me….
To say I’ve seen and had more than enough would be an understatement.
Just sayin…..
Lmao.

[DJ Ponder]

Lmao.

Dude can pass the time bitching about bashers with my friend.

[DJ Ponder]

One step in the right direction.

Looks like 1 of the 3 lunatics on KEGS got what they deserve

[VeronicaFox]

Hi THall! How are you doing?

Eeeek, thanks for updating me!

I just read the KEGS board, it’s so boringgggg and uneventful - it feels like there’s only 2-3 posters, and they typically post off each other about the BOB. lolol

Scozzafava is the polar opposite of what this board is about.

Remember when we discovered ZACHARY LOGAN was slapped by the SEC for being paid to pump on iHub, and began selling shares before the one-year holding period required by Rule 144 had run. In fact Ross (another paid iHub pumper, according to the SEC)) and Zachary Logan sold their shares before this holding period had even begun. And NOW Logan is a KEGS "Consultant" and is on Scozzafava’s payroll! The Scozz gets around!

That made me research another guy who Scozzafava uses - Brian McLain - he fits Tom perfectly:

None of the CROOKS are.
And they ARE Crooks.

[VeronicaFox]

Best to remember that poster’s shady background - “it ain’t pretty”.

Scozzafava loves this sort of shareholder, those that will aid and abet in an effort to con folks.

[DJ Ponder]

Pretty damn difficult to respond to a barrage of personal attacks from opposing parties that insist on making false pro company statements designed to entice traders to purchase their shares at inflated prices with both hands tied behind your back.

Well over a 20 year member here….

SMH.

[DJ Ponder]

Thank God there are still those that are willing to step up at grave risk to themselves to help a fellow human instead of standing idle with their heads up their rear ends filming to post on some social media platform.

[VeronicaFox]

That was awesome and so heroic, truly good samaritans! It looked like they’d tear the whole side of the truck off to get the driver out! They wouldn’t take no for an answer, they were going to rescue him!

It’s heartwarming.

Thanks for posting it, DJ.

A group of good Samaritans jumped into action to help save a 71-year-old after his car became engulfed in flames on a Minnesota highway.

Sam Orbovich's vehicle "struck a light pole and then guardrail" during rush hour on Interstate 94 in Saint Paul, Minnesota State Patrol told ABC News. Orbovich became trapped inside his Honda SUV as it burned.

A group of good Samaritans jumped into action and raced to rescue Orbovich after they saw what had happened.

Kadir Tolla and 24-year-old registered nurse Tessa Sand were among those who rushed to help.

"All I see is there is a man in the car that can't get out and needs our help," Tolla said.

"I was scared, like shaking, scared. The car just totally went up in flames," Sand recalled, adding, "You could feel how hot it was. The smell of the smoke [was] just wafting in the air."

Sand and several others nearby stopped their cars and rushed to help free Orbovich. Sand directed others to pull on Orbovich's car doors.

"It was trying to figure out, one, how to get him out of the car, so trying to break the guardrail down, pulling the car, trying to see if we could get him out on the passenger side, which was also engulfed in flames," Sand said.

The highway response team then stepped in and smashed the driver side window of Orbovich's vehicle. This gave the good Samaritans the opportunity to pull Orbovich out of the window and toward safety.

"You could see the fear and the panic in his eyes," Sand said.

[Huggy Bear]

Yeah that killer eclipse shot.

Harding? That explains it lol. I went to Liberty U for two years - the hypocrisy was unbearable.

Been to Harding once, to see Alison Krause.

She invited my daughter and I backstage after the show....

[VeronicaFox]

Yes, I’d love to see it.

[rbtree]

Harding Academy...Searcy..... which pic? Your eclipse shot?

[Huggy Bear]

Send VF that pic I got via email please.

Technically challenged myself.

Where were you in Jr. High?

[VeronicaFox]

I totally understand and feel the same. There are some asinine loonies here!

Yes, baseball… we went to see the eclipse, then to see the Astros play the Rangers! Both turned out to be fabulous & thrilling. I’m so happy we got to take it all in :)

[rbtree]

Not here. Don't want to risk my real name being discovered.

Some wackos did that a few years ago... don't recall which pink garbage they were hawking, or who they were, or much care....but....

Game? baseball? Huggy Bear pm'd (on FB msgr) me an eclipse image that he got. He lives 20 miles from where I spent my Jr Hi years....

[VeronicaFox]

My goodness, DJT has a nasty chart - It took a major haircut! I remember when he had his vodka stock, that was a major scam but I don’t recall the letters.

“Mankind intelligence”…ha ha ha! Gotta love that, you have such a way with words ;)

Rms deserves to be on iggy, that’s the only safe place for IT. I Seriously Ibelieve he thought he’d get some sympathy for being a felon. RME, he forgets that he comes on IHub and lies 50 times in a row about other people and the stock he’s pumping. He thinks no one will take notice? SMH

We’re at the ballpark for the game! Wish us luck!

And please send me links to your photography!

[rbtree]

Three things/subjects that I detest: MAGAts, OTC scams and pumpers, and flat earthers.

So, I posted some great links about and related to the eclipse on a few FB FE groups.

The collective intelligence of those three groups is capable of bringing down mankind's intelligence, methinxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

You should take a look at the DJT politics allowed group... even the one where said talk its OT.... the general mood among the MAGAt's is grim.... the level of acrimony between the two sides seems to be declining.... with every day that DJT drops.... its less than half its high about the time that DWAC became DJT....

Should you be interested, pm an email and I'll link to some of my photography....

RMS is back on ignore... two reasons... might piss "it" off when I don't reply...and to clean up the board's look a tad....

DJT has been a great short, and may still be... me, I no longer trade, and never shorted a stock anyhow.

[VeronicaFox]

Yessss! It was awesome! Funny too, as soon as it went dark, someone had a giant boom box - And then all you heard was Helloooo, Is there anybody out there. …(Pink Floyd). Ha ha ha!! It was a blast :)

[rbtree]

You got totality!!!

[VeronicaFox]

Hi RB! I’m so glad you found me! I just WISH I was in Mazatlán for the eclipse, that was first on my list. My family and a few friends traveled to enjoy it! From what I understand, this will be the last one for 20 years.

I don’t blame you for not wanting to make a trek like that! I’ve done a long trip like that, twice - both ways on the outstanding California coastline, and one of the eastern side, ending in Key West. That was a long trip but well worth it!

Thanks for the webcam in Mazatlán, I’m getting excited. My brother brought 3 dozen pair of glasses lol, maybe a bit overkill, but he got a good deal on “approved” glasses :)

[rbtree]

Thought this board would be a good place to alert you to that idiot's reply to me..... but you found it right off anyhow.

Saw your reply and the ones about the eclipse. Where will you be? My plans fizzled. First target was this area https://news4sanantonio.com/weather/weather-cameras/western-zone-eagle-pass/ Then, I had Mexico in mind, near Torreon. I have three cameras and two new motorized trackers. But the uncertain weather was one reason why I'm still in Washington and didn't make the 1600-2400 mile drive. Oh well.

Looking good in Mazatlan which is right near the eclipse center https://webcamsdemexico.com/webcam/mazatlan/

[VeronicaFox]

All my respect, but I don’t think he called Buffett “greedy”. My guess is he’s just not as big a fan as you and I.

[bar1080]

Heck, almost no one insults Buffett, but Ponder did. Does he realized BRK employs about 390,000, people, and Buffett and Munger were paid just $100,000 a year each. What a bargain for investors like me.

"At any rate, it’s a beautiful chart." Especially when you consider BRK has about $160 billion in CASH and T-securities. Bullet proof balance sheet.

[VeronicaFox]

Hi Bar, hope all is good with you. I haven’t seen him post recently, but I don’t think he called Buffett “greedy”.

At any rate, it’s a beautiful chart.

[bar1080]

You might show the below spectacular BRK chart to Ponder. BRK is a Stock of the Year even with its "greedy" 93 year old CEO.

An Anti-Good Samaritan, Gannon Giguiere

SEC permanently bans California's Giguiere

by Mike Caswell

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has won a permanent ban for Gannon Giguiere, operator of the touting website TheMoneyStreet, for a 2017 scheme on the OTC Markets. The SEC said that Mr. Giguiere, along with a group of Canadians, was behind pump-and-dumps that included a 2017 effort to boost Kelvin Medical Inc., a supposed medical device maker. He and Vancouver's Oliver Lindsay entered manipulative trades in the midst of a promotional campaign run through TheMoneyStreet.

The ban for Mr. Giguiere is contained in a notice of settlement filed in federal court in San Diego on Friday, April 7. The settlement, which requires approval from the judge, permanently bars Mr. Giguiere from penny stocks and from serving as an officer or director of any public company. He must also pay financial penalties, with the judge to determine the amounts.

For Mr. Giguiere, the ban is just part of his punishment for the scheme. He previously pleaded guilty to related criminal charges and received 12 months in jail, a sentence that he completed on Feb. 13, 2023. Prosecutors also won a $187,893 forfeiture order against him. (All figures are in U.S. dollars.) As part of the criminal case, the government seized assets belonging to Mr. Giguiere that it said had been acquired with the proceeds of crime. Those assets included a 2007 Ferrari F12 Berlinetta that the government eventually sold.

A precocious husky found itself in need of a helping hand after becoming trapped in a Kentucky storm drain, according to reports and adorable footage from the scene.

Officers from Lexington-Fayette Animal Care and Control began receiving calls reporting the husky’s predicament Sunday morning, and when they arrived they found the dog, Sebastian, with his snout poking out of the narrow drain and his piercing pale eyes staring up at them.

“He’s pretty noticeable, because he has these stunning blue eyes, when you see his face in the storm drain, which I think would shock anyone walking by,” responding officer Jai Hamilton told 12News.

Hamilton and another officer spent about 30 minutes trying to coax the dog out, who they said was very “vocal,” but well-behaved throughout the ordeal.
“He was extremely talkative,” Hamilton said. “He wanted help, but he was kind of afraid, and he was very vocal the whole time, so it was very hard to read his behavior.”
“But he was a very nice boy,” she added.

It is unclear exactly how Sebastian got himself in the tight spot, but animal control officers speculated he might have chased an animal down the drain and found he couldn’t get back out the way he came.
Eventually, the rescue crew lifted a manhole cover over the drain, then lowered themselves into the sewer with Sebastian and were able to lift him out.

“It was a little hard because he’s such a big dog, and picking him up, we don’t know his behavior taking him above the storm drain,” Hamilton said.

“But he was a very good boy, and I think he was just excited to get out.”

Sebastian was later reunited with his owner and is now safe at home.
