The waterfall was coming. Curtis Newman, his wife Krystal Ramirez and his 13-year-old son Hunter thought they would jump out of their small boat into the water. But this year was different. Heavy snow and spring rains had turned the usually controllable waterfall into something fierce (凶猛的). As they approached the waterfall late on the afternoon of the third day of their camping trip, Newman could tell from the increasing roar of water in the narrow canyon (峡谷) that they were in trouble. There was no way they'd be able to move down the rocks on either side of the waterfall.
There was no cell phone service, and they hadn't seen a single person in the past three days. As he wondered what to do, Newman heard voices coming from the other side of the waterfall. "We have to get those people a message", he thought. He picked up a stick and pulled out his pocketknife to carve "Help" on it. He tried tossing it over the waterfall, but it floated away in the wrong directions. Krystal reminded him that he had a pen and paper in his backpack (背包). Newman knew it was an impossible attempt, but he wrote "6-15-19 We are stuck here at the waterfall. Help please" and put the note into a bottle. This time, he threw the bottle over the waterfall successfully.
It took them about 30 minutes to go back to the beach where they had lunch. By about 10: 30 pm, they pulled out their sleeping bags. Then, just after midnight, they heard a helicopter hovering (盘旋) above them. Newman turned to his son and started shaking him.
They got rescued. "The rescuers said that they had been performing these kinds of rescues, but no one had ever been rescued by a message in a bottle," Newman said.
Amanda Kofoeds had found a strange lump(肿块) in her arm one day and visited a doctor at a friend's urging. During this time, she was enrolled in school for education and was currently uninsured due to the expense. She planned to save money so she could get on her husband's insurance and then seek medical treatment for the cancer.
Her friends and family didn't want her to put off her treatment due to the expense. They took matters into their own hands and started a GoFundMe campaign. The friend came up with the creative idea to spread the word and invite family, friends, and strangers who wanted to help to participate in a donation flash mob (快闪行动). The event started an outpouring of enormous generosity from the local community.
Amanda and her husband Clint teared up as the crowd passed by and the donations poured in. The generous act of kindness gave the family a comforting, and optimistic feeling during a time when all hope seemed lost. Clint said that Amanda struggled with the idea of asking for help. She felt guilty and undeserving (不值得的) compared to others who are also struggling.
In the time since, Amanda has enrolled in an insurance plan and has finished chemotherapy (化疗). Life for the family has started getting back to their normal routine.
Once Amanda got her strength back, she returned to school and completed her bachelor's degree in education. She is now a teacher. She said the experience motivated her to instill (灌输) the value of charity in her children. The family is now inspired to volunteer in their local neighborhood and contribute to crowdfunding (众筹) efforts. They are grateful for the opportunity to give back and help others as many have helped them.
The couple said they feel blessed by the strong support. PassItOn wants to celebrate those heroes during the family's darkest time. These individuals perfectly demonstrate the value of community. It is with the help of their generosity that the family is now happy, healthy and whole.
The word "orange" describes both a color and a fruit. Which one came first might be surprising. "orange" when used as the name of the fruit came before "orange" as a word to describe color. While the shade (色度)itself existed before the fruit, there was not a name in the English language for the color. Before the introduction of the fruit to English-speaking countries, the color was usually described as a shade of red or yellow.
In the early 16th century, Portuguese traders brought oranges from India to Europe. The Europeans had not seen the bright colored fruit before and didn't have a name for it. The fruits were named "narancia" by Italians and "narange" by the French and were sometimes referred to as "golden apples" by English speakers.
"Orange" was first used in a phrase to describe shades of colors, including in a third-century Greek text translated into English, in 1576. It describes Alexander the Great's servants as dressed in "orange colour velvet (天鹅绒) In 1578, a Latin-American dictionary defined "melites" (海密神女) as "a precious stone of orange color". While orange represents the color of the objects, it needed the word "color" to follow it in order for the meaning to be clear. In the mid-1590s, Shakespeare described a beard as "orange tawny", one of the first instances of "orange" without the word "color" as part of the expression. Tawny is a brown color often used on its own. Orange was not yet a color, just a shade of brown.
In 1616, in an account describing varieties of tulips (郁金香) that can be grown, orange was used as a stand-alone color. When Isaac Newton performed his experiments on the color spectrum (色谱), he listed it as one of the seven basic colors. After almost half a century, orange was recognized as a color on its own.
