Syracuse’s sunrise Easter Mass will continue after all at Burnet Park - syracuse.com

Syracuse's sunrise Easter Mass will continue, after all.

Last week, Rev. Jim Mathews at Saint Lucy's Church announced he planned to stop hosting the sunrise service on Easter morning after 36 years. This week, All Saints Catholic Church in Syracuse worked with St. Lucy's to carry on the tradition.

Rev. Fred Daley from All Saints will host the Mass in place of Mathews. The church will continue to welcome anyone and everyone to watch the sunrise and celebrate on Easter morning at the parking lot atop Burnet Park.

"The community is so thankful to St. Lucy's and Father Jim Mathews for doing this for the last 36 years," said Daley.

Other than the officiant, there won't be any major changes. All are welcome for the Catholic liturgy and there will still be music and a loud speaker system at the service. The two parishes (St. Lucy's and All Saints) will work together to organize the event.

Daley is hoping for a sunny, peaceful morning, but said he is prepared to continue the service in whatever weather Syracuse wakes up to. Be sure to bring your own chairs and blankets if you decide to attend.

Nearly 600 people attend the Mass every year and All Saints hopes to continue the tradition for years to come.

"It's such a wonderful way to begin Easter Sunday in our community," said Daley.

The Easter Sunday service will take place on Sunday April 9 at 6:33 a.m. near the upper parking lot at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo.

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post

This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post This fish is worth $300,000 - New York Post Posted: 05 Jun 2016 12:00 AM PDT With exacting precision, the surgeon inserted the scalpel above the eyeball and cut out a snotty deposit of fatty tissue. The routine eye-lift was nearly complete when suddenly the patient awoke, suffocating, and began to flop about on the table. The audience gasped. Knowing time was of the essence, the surgeon scooped up the patient in his arms, raced across the stage, and dropped her into a tank of water. She revived. Because she was a fish. Yes, fish eye-lifts exist. As do fin jobs and tail tucks. The operating theater was a mall in Jakarta, Indonesia, where a pet expo was under way. As for the patient, she survived, her formerly droopy eyes now bright and perky. A good thing, too, as this was no ordinary goldfish but rather an Asian arowana, the world's most expensive aquarium denizen, rumored to sell for as mu

Catching Dory: selling aquarium fish supports coastal livelihoods in Indonesia | npj Ocean Sustainability - Nature.com

Abstract The global marine aquarium trade has created new local markets across the planet, including in Indonesia, now the second-largest exporting country of marine aquarium fish in the world. Participating in the global aquarium trade has been touted as a potentially sustainable addition to fisher livelihoods, but scant data exist showing the numbers of fish coming off the reef and how those fish contribute to income. To determine how participants in the trade incorporate aquarium species in their livelihoods, we examine source-level aquarium fish collecting and trading data in the Banggai Archipelago, a region in Central Sulawesi that has become a significant source for popular aquarium, also known as ornamental, fish species. Using a sustainable livelihoods lens, we examine this data to understand how participants in the aquarium trade both contribute to as well as benefit from the trade and consider how their participation relates to emerging Blue Justice principles.
