[Texascavers] Update on Mixon

[via Texascavers]

Just to give ya'll an update on Bill Mixon. He is much better, and will be 
discharged from the hospital today or tomorrow. He will, however, be getting 
some physical therapy in a rehab facility for about another week, to build up 
his strength. He has his ipad, laptop and phone with him, but just doesn't want 
a lot of visitors.
Thanks for asking about him. He has a lot of friends! Jocie

Thank you, Josie, for the update. I'm greatly relieved to hear he's doing 
better. I 
was worried about him at convention. Please keep up the reports.

Alex

Amy,

I can see that Caverns of Sonora didn’t work out. Thanks for trying. 
Unfortunately, I won’t be able to make it this weekend at HCSNA. If you’ll be 
at the Bexar Grotto meeting on February 27th, we can at least meet there.

[Texascavers] Brown Bag Presentation - A film titled Madagascar: An Adventure Tale by Benjy von Cramon, Friday, January 27 at 11:55 am

Madagascar: An Adventure Tale


By Benjy Von Cramon


At

Edwards Aquifer Authority
Training Room
900 E Quincy Street, San Antonio, TX 78215


Mr. Benjy Von Cramon, Independent Documentary Producer, will present his film 
on Madagascar: An Adventure Tale. The presentation will occur on Friday, 
January 27, 2017 from 11:55 A.M. to 12:55 P.M. in the Training Room at the 
Edwards Aquifer Authority, 900 E. Quincy Street, San Antonio, Texas. These are 
informal presentations so please feel free to bring your lunch. You may also 
contact the EAA at 210.222.2204 or 
www.edwardsaquifer.org for additional 
directions.

If you are traveling a long distance for the talk, I would recommend that you 
call our receptionist at 210.222.2204 that morning to make sure that the talk 
is still scheduled.  On very rare occasions, we have had to cancel or move the 
talk.  I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Abstract

Independent documentary producer, Benjamin von Cramon, presents "Madagascar: An 
Adventure Tale". Part 1 of the trilogy opens with the Crocodile Caves of the 
Ankarana on the far north end of the Red Island. Few Americans ever tour this 
remote land, never mind head underground in search of Nile crocodile. 
Approximately 90 percent of all plant and animal species found in Madagascar 
are endemic, including the lemurs, whose dancing in real life brings more to 
unscripted adventure documentary than any animated Hollywood feature.

Biography
Benjamin von Cramon is an award winning film maker - His body of work defies 
clean titles and easy categories. In 25 years of writing, shooting, and editing 
for broadcast, institutional, and private industry, von Cramon recalibrates 
between wildly disparate projects, from documentaries filmed in prisons to 
stories in Fourth World homesteads to intensely visceral adventure docs deep 
underground. The auteur is as comfortable developing content around issues of 
great social import as he is problem-solving advanced technologies used to 
innovate the art of story-telling.

A Fellow of the National Speleological Society and The Explorers Club, a 
qualified stereo rig tech for Element Technica, and a developer for Autodesk 
Labs, Reality Capture Group, the arc of his dynamic career reflects a sustained 
effort to elevate the latest technologies in their usefulness to education for 
highly visual learning experiences. Each of von Cramon's projects are informed 
by broad humanities education, grounded in highly physical experiences, and are 
inspired by unbound curiosity and tempered hope for the human condition.
Thank you.

Geary

[Texascavers] The Wall

[David via Texascavers]

President Trump should build a humongous enormous gigantic "hollow" wall
with cracks big enough for small mammals and birds to get in to.This
would create a very beneficial buffer-zone / wildlife-refuge from the loss
of important habitats as the population of the human race rapidly expands
in the 21st and 22nd Centuries.Think of it as a fake artificial reef or
Noah's Ark.We could call it "The Majestic Trump Ark."

It is our last and only chance to save the coati and rare bats and other
southwestern endangered species.

Re: [Texascavers] The Wall

[Rafal Kedzierski via Texascavers]

To provide slightly different viewpoint, population growth of course is slowing 
- in fact developed countries have already peaked in terms of their population 
curves - so fears of population surplus are probably unfounded - see 
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-05-17/peak-population-growth or 
http://www.cnbc.com/id/101018722

In fact the Western Europe is below replacement levels - Germany for example is 
at about 1.4 child per women - well below 2.1-2.2 needed to keep population 
stable.

And fertility rates are shrinking rapidly throughout the world in response to 
aftermath of global economic crisis of 2008. So likely projections of peak 
population are overstated David.
