Body camera footage shows the recent rescue of a young man and his two cats in Somerset, Massachusetts. Officer Brennan Cardoza waded into knee-deep muddy water in late June to locate a 19-year-old who had gotten lost in a swampy area of town. 

The teenager reported that he had gotten lost while going on a walk and had been wandering around the dense swamp for seven hours. He told officers he left without his cell phone or sufficient water. 

In the body camera footage, the officer pushes his way through tall reeds growing out of the water until finding the visibly disoriented young man. “Muddy, nasty area where you wouldn’t want to be,” Cardoza told local news affiliate WPRI, “it was difficult to see, I had to call out for the gentleman.” 

Police began their search after the boy’s parents called the Somerset Police Department to report him missing, saying he never came home from his walk. Nearby neighbors had heard cries out for help but could not locate where they were coming from. 

Massachusetts police also utilized a drone to locate the missing teen as the officers searched through the thick branches. The drone played a pre-recorded message instructing the young man to continue calling out until officers were able to find him. Once recovered, the drone also helped Officer Cardoza and the teen find their way out of the area.

“Thankfully, this was successful,” said Officer Trenholme, who piloted the drone. The young man and his two cats made it back home with no injuries.

With a literal touch of a button, you’ll have shade thanks to this 10-feet by 10-feet tent. Once you open the tent’s canopy, all you have to do is press the center button to get it set up. After that, you can still adjust the height and apply the included stakes and sand bags, but that’s completely up to you. As for the tent itself, the fabric is tear-resistant and PVC-coated, making unexpected drizzles and scorching sun a problem of the past. The canopy also features multiple built-in pockets, allowing you to store frisbees, towels, sunscreen, and more on the side of the tent. And when it’s time to go, this tent easily folds up and fits into the trunks of most SUVs. That makes this item perfect for the beach, camping, barbecues, tailgating, and so much more.

“Impressed with this tent canopy,” one shopper exclaimed. “Truly a one-person setup and it came with sand bags which wrap around the canopy legs — [you have] everything you need to set it up.”

If you look at the world’s top sprinters, they all share a few key traits. Sure, genetics play a huge role—some people are just built for speed. But what really sets them apart is their sprint mechanics: high knee drive; powerful arm swing; a forward lean through acceleration; and tall, upright posture at top speed. 

Nick Mayhugh is no different. The three-time Paralympic gold medalist, silver medalist, and world record holder may have been diagnosed with cerebral palsy at 14, but that’s never slowed him down—literally.

In 2020, Nick Mayhugh brought home three gold medals: the men’s 100m T37, the men’s 200m T37, and the 4x100m Universal Relay. When you look at his year-by-year growth and how he stacks up against others in his group, it’s clear—this dude is fast. But according to Mayhugh, when he’s running at his best, the race doesn’t actually feel fast at all. In fact, the world around him kind of falls away, it’s just him, his mind, and his body, and time slows.

To be at his best, he has to be completely locked in. If “you had a bad night’s sleep, or you had something for breakfast that upset your stomach, that can change the output of your race,” he says. “But then you get on the line, and because your ankle wasn’t a certain degree out of the blocks, your third or fourth step was messed up, and that’ll mess up your ninth and 10th step. And then you’re up, and you’re fighting, and when you fight, you run slow.”

Most people think running your best just means getting from point A to point B as fast as humanly possible. But Mayhugh sees it differently—it’s not about who’s the fastest, it’s about who slows down the least.

“It’s kind of a weird thing to conceptualize, because the fastest I’ve ever run, when I crossed the finish line, in my head, I could already hear my coach yelling at me,” he said about his race at the Tokyo Games in 2020. “I broke a world record in the semifinal, and then broke a record again in the final. And I shut down, I stopped pushing, around like 60 to 70 meters, because I knew that I was going to win.”

Knowing he was taking gold in that event, Mayhugh started staring at the clock mid-race, not realizing at the time that it would come off as disrespectful. But according to him, he wasn’t showboating; he was just focused. In his head, he thought, “Wow, I’m running really fast, but it feels so slow.”

When the time flashed on the big screen and confirmed he’d just broken the world record, Mayhugh couldn’t help but celebrate. But even in that euphoric moment, all he wanted to do was call his coach and explain the surreal feeling: It didn’t feel fast at all.

“And as I’m celebrating, it’s one of the happiest moments of my life, I’m thinking, ‘That felt really, really slow,'” he recalls. “I got back and got on the phone with my coach, and I was like, ‘Coach, that felt slow.’ And he was like, ‘What did I tell you? Smooth is fast, and fast is slow.’”

Sperry boat shoes are the quintessential example of the style, but that doesn’t mean the brand is resting on its laurels. They’re pumping out premium editions and using non-traditional materials left and right. Case in point: the extra-rugged boat shoes that are on sale with a $124 discount.

Sperry Gold Cup Vibram Boat Shoes are just $71 right now, 63% off of the $195 they’ll normally run you. As you might have guessed from the name, they’re made with elevated materials including a Vibram sole, a quirky choice that works quite well. They’re available in three colorways, but only two are getting this great discount; the other, which is actually called Other Beige, is $90. These final prices are the combination of existing markdowns and an additional 25% off that’s automatically reflected when you add these shoes to your cart.

If you own a pair of hiking boots or shoes, chances are pretty good that there’s a Vibram sole on the bottom. The Italian company patented the first rubber lug sole in the ‘50s, a vast improvement on the outdoor footwear that came before. The off-white wedge sole used in these boat shoes has its signature zig-zag pattern, yellow octagonal logo, and proven traction of a Vibram.

As part of Sperry’s premium Gold Cup line, this single-eye shoe uses upgraded materials like full grain leather, copper hardware, and lambskin linings. Beyond its functionality, the half-inch sole adds what the brand calls a “streetwise edge” to the typical New England nautical vibe of a pair of Top-Siders.
