(Trip weapons) The Death of The Crocodile Hunter - Steve Irwin
No commentsBy Buddy Smith
Steve Irwin is an Australian television personality. But more than that, he is a wildlife expert and a conservationist. He is working on the proper care of the natural environment, especially of the animals. He is called The Crocodile Hunter because of his show, with the same title. It is an international wildlife documentary series hosted by him and his wife, Terri Irwin. But too sad for all the crocodiles, the nature, his family and friends, the entire Australian nation and the whole world, Steve was killed.
The crocodile hunter fatally died while filming another wildlife documentary in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. A stingray stabbed him on the chest while snorkeling at the Batt Reef. He had accidentally boxed the animal which caused it to panic and barb its tail. Not too long, Steve was not breathing anymore and announced dead. The incident was caught on the camera by Steve’s cameraman. The Queensland police said that it is stingray’s instinct to defend after Steve getting to close to the marine animal. Interestingly, the documents’ supposed title was Ocean’s Deadliest, and the Crocodile Hunter met one of them. It cost his dear life. It cost the worldwide mourning and grievances. It is an accident that nobody expect. The legendary Steve Irwin put his life at stake and let us see how nature is gonna get back what we take from them.
After a week of Steve Irwin’s death, several stingrays were fund dead and mutilated on the beaches of Queensland. Authorities suppose that this was done by Irwin’s fans as an act of revenge. But people close to the late naturalist insist that Steve Irwin, even if he’s already dead, would never allow this thing.
For a couple of weeks, the whole country was so gloomy, in sympathy to the death of an icon. Australia was in a week-long shock and distress because of Steve Irwin’s death. The only positive thought was that he died where he want to. This death is by nature and for nature. An ideal death for a wildlife advocate. On all forms of media, radio, TV, newspaper and internet, the hottest topic is about the Crocodile Hunter’s fatal death. Even the international scene showed their compassion to this tragic event by making memorials and tribute to Australia’s greatest son. The Animal Planet in America renamed the Discovery’s world headquarters in Silver Spring, Montgomery County, Maryland, U.S., to the “Steve Irwin Memorial Sensory Garden”. The TV show also aired The Crocodile Hunter Diaries marathon to pay tribute to Irwin. In India, A crocodile research centre in Neyyar Wildlife Sanctuary was named by the Kerala government after Steve Irwin. It is now called the Steve Irwin Crocodile Rehabilitation and Research Centre.
This death by Steve Irwin is a lesson for all of Australian abusing nature. A warning to those who have an Australia visa planning to visit the beauty of Australia’s wildlife. Most of all, this is Steve’s message to the whole world. All he want to say is that nature is naturally stronger than us. There is no way that we can beat them forever. There is a time for a setback on human. And that time is has long been started.

Start to Tour Countries in the Golden Pavillion Temple, Japan
By Mitchel Alvane Regis
One of the greatest things that we could do in life is to tour countries. So if you’re a passionate devotee of Zen, it is a must that the Golden Pavillion Temple must be included in your itinerary.
This temple was originally built in 1397 to become a retirement villa for Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, as a part of his estate then known as Kitayama. It was his son who renewed the building into a Zen sanctuary of the school of Rinzai. The temple was burned down twice during the Nin War.
The Golden Pavillion, or Kinkaku, is a building with three stories on the grounds of the temple. The top two stories of the pavilion are shrouded with genuine gold leaf. The pavilion also functions as a shariden, housing remnants of Buddha (Buddha’s Ashes). And the edifice is frequently contrasted or linked the Silver Pavillion Temple, the Ginkaku-ji, and it is located also in Kyoto.
Golden Pavillion is placed in a magnificent Japanese strolling garden (kaiy-shiki). The pond in the facade is called Kyko-chi (Mirror Pond). There are many stones and islands on the pond that signify the story of the Buddhist creation.
In the year 1950, the Golden pavillion was burned down by a monk, who then attempted to end his life on Daimon-ji hill that is behind the building. He survived, however during the investigation after the arrest of the monk, his mother called in to talk with the police; on her way home, she ended her life by leaping from her train to a river valley.
The monk was sentenced to seven years in prison; he pass away because of an illness during his incarceration in 1956. At that historical moment, the statue of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu was burned. A fictional version of those events could be read at the center of Yukio Mishima’s 1956 book The Temple of the Golden Pavillion.
