There's a New World Superpower -- And 4 Other Things I Learned at Netroots Nation
I had barely touched down in California when it was time to take off again. This time, to Detroit, to attend Netroots Nation, billed as the United States' biggest annual gathering of progressive activists, organizers and online social justice innovators.
Ruairí McKiernan, Contributor
Member of Ireland's Council of State
Jul 26, 2014, 12:35 PM EDT | Updated Dec 6, 2017
My trip to the U.S from Ireland is thanks to a Fulbright fellowship that sees me based at the pioneering Citizen Engagement Lab in Berkeley. My research here looks at how we can collectively use the web to promote people power and build better democracies. I figured the trip to Netroots Nation was a must, something that could also help inform our work in establishing the Uplift campaigning organization in Ireland, which launches later this year.
So, with a guest ticket in my pocket (thanks Netroots!), I packed my bags and headed off to Detroit.
Here are five things I learned at Netroots Nation.
1. A new global superpower is being born.
Everywhere I went at Netroots Nation were incredible movers, shakers and world changers. These are people who are mostly in their twenties and thirties and leading organizations with the power to engage and mobilize millions of people through sophisticated online campaigning and organizing. They are birthing a new world superpower -- a digitally facilitated citizen superpower that offers hope for people and planet.
These groups are linking issues and allowing concerned citizens to join forces on issues that affect us all. They are harnessing the vast power of the web to promote real political reform, and improve women's rights, climate change action, immigration reform, Black, Asian and Latino rights, highlight corporate abuses, as well as championing other important causes.
They include groups like the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, Color of Change, 18 Million Rising, Sum of Us, Avaaz, 350.org, CREDO Action, UltraViolet, and members of the OPEN (Online Progressive Engagement Network), who have over 10 million members in more than 10 countries worldwide. (See a more complete list of groups on my blog here).
Such is their reach that no longer can these campaigners be dismissed as mere 'clicktivists' who don't know how to cut it in the real world of politics. These are serious players who know how to rapidly and cost effectively translate technological tools into funding, votes and lasting change.
Groups like MoveOn helped elect Obama. Demand Progress was instrumental in stopping the regressive SOPA bill. 38 Degrees helped prevent Britain's forests from being sold and GetUp! made history by changing Australia's electoral enrollment laws. In India, Jhatkaa!, led by 26-year-old activist Deepa Gupta, is trailblazing a powerful movement that is pressuring the government to take action on issues like rape culture, police brutality, and the pollution of the Ganga river.
The presence at Netroots Nation of numerous establishment politicians, including heavyweights like U.S Vice President Joe Biden and Congresswoman Elizabeth Warren, was testimony to the fact that these web activists have power, real power -- people power.
2. We need more soul.
One of the highlights for many at the four day gathering was the keynote address by the firey Reverend Barber who brought the passion of his North Carolina based "Moral Mondays" movement to a crowd who often prefer their politics without spirituality.
The Reverend injected life and soul into issues that all too often hang out in the realm of the intellect. He helped connect head and heart. He uplifted, shifted and got people affirming their huge potential to change the world. There was little or no talk of religion, just calls to unity, to love, to higher ground. Nor was this just some entertaining preacher pumping the masses with feel good endorphins. Barber was sharp, cutting and clinical in his deconstruction of the political and economic inequalities that dehumanize us all. He was strategic but soulfully so. He breathed life into what Gandhi referred to as Satyagraha, or soul force, and reminded activists and organizers that technology is great but it ain't nothing if it isn't fueled by hearts, minds, soul and spirit, all working together.
Barber left the crowd electrified and ready for action. He concluded his speech by leading the crowd to stirringly chant "forward together, not one step back, forward together, not one step back!"
3. Detroit isn't giving up.
Detroit is a city that has lost more than 1 million of its residents (or half its population) over the past 60 years. The decline of American motor manufacturing meant the city lost its industrial base, resulting in urban decline and more recently bankruptcy. Everywhere you look in Detroit there are empty buildings, urban decay, and signs of poverty, particularly among the Black community who make up over 80 percent of the population. In total, 39 percent of Detroiters live below the poverty line.
The strength of the motor lobby prevented Detroit from getting a public transportation system and it is claimed that all major national food chains have abandoned the city in recent years. Locals say racism and police brutality are widespread. Recently, thousands of residents have had their water supplies cut off, resulting in nurses referring to the situation as a public health emergency.
But there's another side to the Detroit story. It is the story of courage, determination and the refusal to give up. Detroiters are fighting back and welcoming newcomers to come join them. There are now an estimated 1400 urban farms and gardens in Detroit and people are innovating and creating community based solutions for a city that understands the harsh truth of capitalism more than most.
4. Taking it to the streets is still important.
As I joined a water rights protest in the city, I tasted the magic of what happens when online activism converges with the tradition of "taking it to the streets." Here parents, nurses and union activists marched side by side with web warriors who published live social media updates and action calls that rippled out to the world's media and politicians. These updates bombarded local and state politicians and led to stories in the Washington Post and elsewhere. The pressure has since led to a temporary suspension of the cut-offs.
While marching through Detroit's streets I was also reminded that while the web opens up the world to our campaigns, nothing can beat the energy injection of people coming together, face to face, side by side marching together, rising together. There is something about that deeper human connection that the web can't give us. It is something about seeing and feeling the power of community and having the realization that you are not alone in your worries, fears, hopes and dreams.
The modern world brings great benefits but often keeps us separate, boxed away in cubicles and in cars, on phones and laptops. It has the allure of connectivity and freedom, but in many ways cultivates separation and loneliness. Merging internet savvy with human connection gives us the best of both worlds, and opens up doorways to deeper change.
It can be easier to ignore emails than it is to ignore the sight and sounds of people demanding change. This is something Joe Biden knows. During his keynote speech, he was interrupted by the protests of young immigration campaigners from Presente and United We Dream who repeatedly chanted 'stop deporting our families'.
It can't have been an easy decision for the campaigners to make the stand they did, especially with so many of the crowd enamored by the Vice President. Nonetheless they managed to hit home a harsh reality to not only the Vice President, but to the progressive community. They also succeeded in getting their plight covered in major news networks worldwide.
The protests succeeded in reminding millions of people that immigration reform is a very real and urgent issue, particularly for the 11 million undocumented people in the U.S. Under the Obama-Biden administration, a staggering 2 million people have been deported. The protests were a poignant and strategic reminder that old school tactics might not always be polite or pretty, but they can be hugely effective.
5. The future is bright.
At times it seems that the darkness of war, greed, injustice and prejudice is overwhelming. It is understandable why mental health problems are on the rise and why some people fall into the world of addiction, entertainment and endless consumption. "Ignorance is bliss" goes the saying, but it's not true. More people are waking up to this, realizing that collective action is the best medicine for despair. According to Reverend Barber, the slaves didn't know how they were going to free themselves, they just kept alive a vision of freedom, and so too must we.
Netroots Nation gave me hope that we are more organized than we think, that we are more connected than we imagined, that we are creating a tipping point towards a better world. Let us keeping marching forward together -- not one step back.

David Cameron's favourite censorware is built and maintained by Huawei
UK Prime Minister David Cameron (and his thin-skinned, slandering advisor Claire Perry) have been cynically appealing to the Tory's reactionary base by promising to purge the British Internet of porn with a Chinese style, opt-out Great Firewall. Cameron has held out the UK ISP TalkTalk as a paragon in this regard, praising its "Homesafe" blocking product.
Now the BBC reports that Homesafe was built by Huawei, the Chinese IT giant Huawei, founded by Ren Zhengfei, a former officer in China's People's Liberation Army. Huawei has been characterized by senior Western spooks as an arm of the Chinese intelligence service, conducting industrial espionage on its behalf.
A poorly understood feature of censorship software is that it is also surveillance software. In order to stop you from clicking on "bad" things, it must intercept all of your clicks and examine them to make sure they're not on the blacklist.
Initially, TalkTalk told the BBC that it was US security firm Symantec that was responsible for maintaining its blacklist, and that Huawei only provided the hardware, as previously reported.
However, Symantec said that while it had been in a joint venture with Huawei to run Homesafe in its early stages, it had not been involved for over a year.
TalkTalk later confirmed it is Huawei that monitors activity, checking requests against its blacklist of over 65 million web addresses, and denying access if there is a match.
The contents of this list are largely determined by an automated process, but both Huawei and TalkTalk employees are able to add or remove sites independently.

Dropping the Ball on Benefits For Gulf War Syndrome?
n 1994, the U.S. Congress passed legislation that provided a "presumption" to Gulf War veterans suffering from undiagnosed illnesses. Once the bill was approved, the afflicted individuals did not have to prove to the Veterans Administration (VA) that their medical issues were a result of military service.
Twenty-three years later, the "gray areas" are creating problems for former service members applying for disability benefits. Last month, the Government Accountability Office released alarming statistics revealing the VA's rate of approvals for military people who served in the Gulf War.
From 2010 to 2015, the department approved a mere 17 percent of the claims for Gulf War-associated illnesses. Out of 102,000 cases, 84,000 applicants were denied. The rate is lower than the 57 percent of approved claims for all other medical issues in the same span of time.
The study cites confusion by VA staff on the handling of applications. Only ten percent of medical examiners – professionals who play a vital role in providing information – received training on Gulf War illness diagnoses. The other 90 percent simply failed to undergo the 90-minute online course.
The VA cites the complexity of Gulf War illnesses and the lack of a single definition in their high rate of rejected claims. Currently, the list of disabling conditions include (fibromyalgia, fatigue, gastrointestinal disorders), and nine other infectious diseases.
Pieces of the puzzle have yet to be fully assembled, in spite of the VA spending more than $160 million on Gulf War illness-related research from 1994 to 2015. In addition, $12.3 million of research fund was also allocated in 2016.

What states have the most Americans on disability?


January tornadoes in Wisconsin. A 50-year snowstorm that cripples China on the eve of the New Year's celebration. Extreme spikes in temperature, both highs and lows.
Are we starting to now see the impacts of global warming?
The tricky nature of weather makes that a tricky question, and perhaps the best answer is that, while a single weather event can't be specifically tied to global warming, the pattern of events is consistent with what we've been told to expect thanks to global warming.
It's a bit early to know if the worldwide events of freak weather patterns represented a one-year anomaly or the early onset of global warming. China's blizzard, after all, is probably tied to La Nina (although, it's been argued that it's been strengthened by global warming).
The fact that the question of immediate, direct impact is now before us says that global warming is a problem worth addressing now. It's been that way for years, considering that the scientific debate on whether the phenomenon is real has been over for a long time.
It's also a reminder of the realities of global warming. Skeptics of global warming have long pointed to improved potentials for agriculture in a warmed world. The truth is that a warmed world doesn't translate automatically into a warmer world, but altered weather patterns.
Warm weather, for the last couple of winters, has played tricks on plants, prompting some bulbs to produce shoots earlier than normal, and well before the weather has reliably warmed to prevent damage or death to the plant. The planet might be warming in a big picture sense, but its how that translates into weather than should concern us. A warmer planet might mean longer agricultural seasons, but that's not really how things work.
Action has been stalled, well, always. The Clinton administration can be forgiven, but only a little bit, by what was a big lack of understanding how solid the science behind the issue was. The Bush administration, on the other hand, has taken active steps to prevent substantial action from being taken.
The reason GM has taken its fight to the states is that California, tired of stalling at the federal level, has taken matters into its own hands. And they've had to do so despite the active opposition of the Bush administration, whose EPA has so far refused to grant California waivers to enforce greenhouse gas emissions. It's a fight that the EPA has already lost in the Supreme Court.
Although the three contenders left in the presidential race with any reasonable shot of winning all have embraced policies to mitigate global warming, waiting another year to actually do something is too long.
All that's required of you to know that is to look out the window.

Keith Arkell
The Autobiography of a Grandmaster
Keith Arkell is one of Britain's busiest and best-known chess Grandmasters, (320 standard-play tournaments won to date) and having recently reached his half-century was prompted to take a backward look and reflect on how he got to where he is today.
This is the resulting book, in which he details his personal odyssey with a disarming candour and honesty, recounting many of his highs and lows, fears and phobias, triumphs and tragedies, as well as recalling some of his memorable games, each a little landmark along the way.
The book includes:
70 lightly annotated, easy-to-follow, instructive games.
200 chessboard diagrams.
45 photographs, some in full colour.
6 cross-tables
"I was impressed by Keith's appetite for the game: his determination, mental toughness in bad positions, fighting sprit and his formidable endgame technique, all qualities that, undiminished by the passing of time, he still brings to the board today". Michael Adams.
"Few of his (Keith's) adversaries on the British chess scene are able to withstand his filigree attention to detail and immense determination to win in any endgame he can create". Ray Keene The Times.
"If there has been a chess book quite like this one, with its particular combination of perceptive personal insights and game collection, then I don't recall it. It could be unique; you be the judge". Bob Jones Western Daily Press.

Q: Export spreadsheet to PDF with formula calculated values I use the Gembox.Spreadsheet dll to convert a Excel document to PDF by:
ExcelFile.Load(formExcelPath).Save(formPdfPath);

Which works as expected except for one thing: values which are calculated from formulas show up in the PDF as if they were never calculated.

From Gembox's site , it says "Formulas can't be exported to CSV, HTML, PDF or XPS file formats."
However, I do not want to export the formulas, I just want the values present in the cell. Is there a workaround for this? Some way of forcing formulas to be calculated before the conversion to PDF?

A: EDIT 28-09-2016:
We have released a new version of GemBox.Spreadsheet (version 4.1) in which we implemented a support for cell formula calculation, see the version history page.
Also, you can find the calculation example here.
ORIGINAL ANSWER
Unfortunately the problem is that currently GemBox.Spreadsheet (version 3.9) does not have a calculation engine.
In other words it is able to read the last calculated values from the input file, but it's unable to recalculate formula results on its own.
Note that we do have this feature request in our collection and please feel free to vote for it in order to boost its priority.
But at this moment I cannot tell you exactly when it will be implemented, this feature is not in our current roadmap.

10 Fascinating Facts About Airplane Bathrooms
Even if you only fly first class, there's no getting around the fact that moving your bowels at 36,000 feet is a bit of an ordeal. Airplane lavatories are cramped, turbulence can unseat you, and the line of people waiting just outside the flimsy door can make it difficult to relax.
Despite these drawbacks, airplane lavatories used to be much, much worse. Take a look at 10 facts we've uncovered about the past, present, and future of turds on the tarmac.
1. PASSENGERS USED TO CRAP IN BOXES.
No matter how boorish your seatmate might be or how loud the wail of the child behind you, be thankful you weren't one of the earliest pilots or passengers during the aviation explosion of the 1930s and 1940s. Without tanks or separate bathroom compartments, anyone in flight would have make do with pooping in buckets or boxes that would sometimes overflow due to turbulence, splattering poop on the interior; some pilots peed into their shoes or through a hole in the cockpit floor. The first removable bowls were seen at the end of the 1930s, with crew members having to come and empty them out after landing. Removable tanks followed in the 1940s.
2. THE BRITISH POOPED RIGHT INTO THE SKY.
In 1937, a "flying boat" dubbed the Supermarine Stranraer was put into service by Britain's Royal Air Force. It didn't take long for the craft to earn a nickname, the "whistling sh-t House," owing to one curious design choice: The toilet onboard had no tank or reservoir and opened up to the sky below. If the lid remained open, the passing air would prompt the plane to make a whistling noise.
3. CHARLES LINDBERGH PEED ON FRANCE.
Central Press/Getty Images
Famous aviator Charles Lindbergh completed his transatlantic flight from New York to Paris in 1927 and met with King George V shortly after touching down. The 33-hour flight led him to ask Lindbergh how he had managed his bodily demands during that time; Lindbergh replied that he had peed into an aluminum container and then dropped it while flying over France.
4. FALLING FROZEN POOP WAS A BIG PROBLEM IN THE '80S.
As aviation become more sophisticated, toilets went from merely trying to contain poop to actively trying to fight germs with Anotec, the brand name for the "blue liquid" found in freestanding bowls. Unfortunately, the tanks housing the liquid and the waste were sometimes prone to leakage in the air, prompting giant biohazards to freeze on the hull of planes and then break away as the aircraft began its descent. The apocalyptic poop balls reportedly smashed cars and roofs before Boeing and other manufacturers adopted the vacuum system still in use today.
5. THERE'S BEEN ONE CASE OF CATASTROPHIC GENITAL INJURY.
The current pneumatic vacuum system toilets use pressure to siphon waste from the bowl without using much liquid, which keeps the plane from having to carry the additional weight of waste water in the sky. The noise of the violent suction can be unsettling, but it's rare you'd actually be in any danger. Rare, but not impossible.
An article in the Journal of Travel Medicine in July 2006 [PDF] reported one case of misadventure due to an airplane toilet. A 37-year-old woman flushed while still seated and created a seal, trapping her on the commode. After being freed by flight attendants, she was examined by doctors and was found to have a labial laceration that resulted in "substantial" blood loss. She was treated and recovered fully.
6. THERE'S A TRICK TO AVOID STINKING UP THE PLANE.
No one wants to be the person who exits a lavatory having polluted the pressurized cabin with a foul odor. According to an ex-flight attendant named Erika Roth, asking an employee for a bag of coffee grounds and then hanging them in the bathroom can help absorb any odors produced by your activities.
7. AIRBUS TOILETS CAN REACH POOP SPEEDS OF 130 MPH.
Dubbed the "Formula 1" of airplane toilets, certain Airbus models circa 2007 could produce unbelievable suctioning power. In a demonstration for a journalist (above), their A380 model could move sewage at speeds of 130 miles per hour. The speeds are necessary when bathroom waste needs to travel the length of the passenger cabin to the sewage tanks in the back.
8. THEY'RE GETTING SMALLER.
Already short on space, airplane lavatories might become even more cramped in the future. A 2017 report by Condé Nast Traveler indicated that as older planes are taken out of service, newer-model passenger planes are coming in with modified bathrooms that are up to two inches smaller in width and depth. Industry observers believe the shrinking bathrooms could pose problems for people with disabilities, pregnant women, and those who need to accompany their child into the bathroom.
9. BOEING MIGHT HAVE PERFECTED THE AIRPLANE POOP EXPERIENCE.
In 2016, the aeronautics company announced a possible solution to the germ-infested poop closets found on planes. Their self-cleaning lavatory uses ultraviolet light to kill 99.9 percent of all surface bacteria. The light would be activated between occupancies to sanitize the space for travelers. Boeing also envisions this lavatory of the future to be touchless, with a self-activating seat and sink.
10. THERE'S A REASON THEY STILL HAVE ASHTRAYS.
Ever wonder why airplane bathrooms have ashtrays built into the wall or door even though smoking is banned on virtually all flights? Because federal regulations still require them. The thinking is that someone sneaking a smoke will still need a place to put it out, and the risk of fire is reduced if they have a proper receptacle.

10 Fascinating Facts About Anne Boleyn
BY Mark Mancini
Anne Boleyn was one of England's most controversial queens. In 1533, King Henry VIII annulled his first marriage (to Catherine of Aragon) and was in the process of breaking with the Catholic Church to wed the charming noblewoman. But their happiness was not to last: Just three years later, Anne was executed. It's a compelling story, one that's been dramatized in plays, novels, movies, and TV shows. But today, we're setting the pop culture depictions aside to take a look at the real Anne Boleyn.
Anne Boleyn's formative years were spent in France and Belgium.
Born in the early 16th century (possibly in 1501 or 1507), Anne was the daughter of Thomas Boleyn, an English diplomat. As a child, she went abroad to study in Margaret of Austria's court, located in present-day Belgium, and later continued her education as a member of Mary Tudor's elegant household in Paris. By the time she returned to her native England in the early 1520s, Boleyn had mastered the French language—and she carried herself like a Parisian, too. "No one," wrote one of Boleyn's contemporaries, "would ever have taken her to be English by her manners, but [instead] a native-born Frenchwoman."
Anne Boleyn played the lute.
Even Boleyn's harshest critics had to admit that she was a good dancer. She was also fond of music, and reportedly played the lute (a guitar-like instrument popular at Tudor gatherings) quite well. A songbook that bears her inscription can be found at London's Royal College of Music. It's unclear if Boleyn ever owned this book, but its selection of tunes is historically significant.
Anne Boleyn almost married someone other than King Henry VIII.
In 1522, Thomas Boleyn and his cousin, Sir Piers Butler, were both trying to claim some Irish land holdings that had belonged to one of their mutual ancestors. To settle the dispute, Anne's uncle suggested marrying Anne to Butler's son, James, so that the factions could be unified in the future. By the time Anne returned to England, the marriage was already in the works. King Henry VIII—whose mistress at that time was Anne's sister Mary—supported the match, but the marriage never went through. Anne also had a romantic relationship with one Henry Percy, a future Earl of Northumberland who wound up marrying the Lady Mary Talbot.
Anne Boleyn was pregnant at her coronation.
King Henry VIII's marriage to his first wife, Catherine of Aragon, was annulled on May 23, 1533. He'd been courting Anne Boleyn for years; many of his love letters survive to this day. As the king's infatuation grew, so did his desire for a healthy male heir—which Catherine never gave him. But Pope Clement VII refused to dissolve the royal marriage. So the Archbishop of Canterbury went ahead and annulled it. Henry VIII would soon be declared "Supreme Head of the Church of England," severing its ties with the Vatican. Boleyn was crowned queen on June 1, 1533. Her first child, Princess Elizabeth, was born a little over three months later.
Anne Boleyn's emblem was a white falcon.
The Boleyns took a white falcon from the traditional Butler family crest. For Anne's coronation ceremony, poet Nicholas Udall wrote a ballad that likened the new queen to this elegant bird of prey. "Behold and see the Falcon White!" declared one verse. "How she beginneth her wings to spread, and for our comfort to take her flight" [PDF]. The new queen also used a white falcon badge as her personal emblem; at some point, a graffitied version of this was carved into the Tower of London.
Anne Boleyn's religious views are hard to pin down, but she appeared to sympathize with reformers.
At a time when Latin-language Bibles were the norm in Catholic Europe, Boleyn consistently supported the publication of English translations—a controversial notion at the time. As queen, she and her husband arranged for the release of Nicholas Bourbon, a French humanist whose criticisms of saint-worship and other theological matters had landed him in jail. Bourbon went to England, where he tutored Boleyn's nephew (at her request).
Anne Boleyn was the first of Henry VIII's queens to get beheaded.
Like Catherine before her, Anne Boleyn failed to deliver Henry VIII's long-sought male heir. In 1536, she found herself on trial, accused of high treason, adultery, and incest. (Rumors circulated that she was having an affair with her brother, George.) Though many historians dismiss these allegations, they sealed her fate nevertheless. Boleyn was beheaded on May 19, 1536. Henry VIII wed his third wife, Jane Seymour, that same month. Two spouses later, history repeated itself when the king had queen number five—Catherine Howard—decapitated in 1542.
It has been claimed that Anne Boleyn had 11 fingers.
When you replace a popular monarch and spur the change of the religious fabric of an entire country, you're bound to make enemies. One of Boleyn's detractors claimed that she had a "devilish spirit," while another famously called her a "goggle-eyed whore."
And then there's Catholic propagandist Nicholas Sander, who wrote an unflattering description of the former queen many years after she died. According to him, Boleyn had "a large wen [wart or cyst] under her chin," a "projecting tooth under the upper lip" and "six fingers" on her right hand. But his claims are highly suspect. There's no proof that Sander ever laid eye on Boleyn—plus, her contemporaries didn't mention any of these physical traits in their own writings about the queen. At worst, she might have had a second nail on one finger—which is a far cry from saying she possessed an extra digit.
Anne Boleyn's daughter, Queen Elizabeth I, ruled England for decades.
Coronated at age 25 on January 15, 1559, Queen Elizabeth I defeated the Spanish Armada, promoted exploration, and foiled multiple assassination plots during her 44-year reign. She held the throne right up until her death in 1603.
There's only one surviving portrait of Anne Boleyn (that we know of).
When Henry VIII executed her, most Anne Boleyn likenesses were intentionally destroyed—and now, there's just one contemporary image of the queen known to exist: a lead disc—crafted in 1534—with Boleyn's face etched on one side, which is held at the British Museum in London. It's the only verified portrait of the former queen that was actually produced during her lifetime.
But there may be at least one more image of the queen out there: In 2015, facial recognition software was used to compare the image on the disc to a 16th-century painting currently housed at the Bradford Art Galleries and Museums. The picture's subject, a young woman, has never been identified, but according to the program, the figure looks an awful lot like Boleyn's portrait in that lead disc—though the researchers cautioned that their results were inconclusive due to insufficient data.

6 Strange Maritime Mysteries
BY Claire Cock-Starkey

The oceans cover over 70 percent of our planet, so it's little wonder that their seemingly impenetrable depths have provided a series of fascinating mysteries, from missing ships to eerie monsters. Below are six mysteries of the deep—some of which scientists think they've at least partly explained, while others remain truly puzzling.
The Mary Celeste
On December 5, 1872, the crew of the British ship the Dei Gratia spotted a vessel bobbing about 400 miles off the coast of the Azores. They approached the Mary Celeste to offer help, but after boarding the ship were shocked to find it completely unmanned. The crew had disappeared without a trace, their belongings still stowed in their quarters, six months' worth of food and drink untouched, and the valuable cargo of industrial alcohol still mostly in place. The only clues were three and a half feet of water in the hold, a missing lifeboat, and a dismantled pump. It was the beginning of an enduring mystery concerning what happened to the crew, and why they abandoned a seemingly sea-worthy vessel.
Numerous theories have been suggested, including by crime writer Arthur Conan Doyle, who penned a short story in 1884 suggesting the crew had fallen victim to an ex-slave intent on revenge. A more recent theory has pointed the finger at rough seas and the broken pump, arguing they forced the captain to issue an order to abandon ship. Since the missing crew have never been traced, it seems unlikely that there will ever be a satisfying answer to the enigma.
The Yonaguni Monument

In 1986, a diver looking for a good spot to watch hammerhead sharks off the coast of the Ryukyu Islands in Japan came across an extraordinary underwater landscape. The area reportedly looked like an ancient submerged village, with steps, holes, and triangles seemingly carved into the rocks. Ever since it was first discovered, controversy has surrounded the site that's become known as the Yonaguni Monument, with some researchers—such as marine geologist Masaaki Kimura—arguing it is a clearly manmade environment, perhaps a city thousands of years old and sunk in one of the earthquakes that plagues the region. Others believe it's a natural geological phenomenon reflecting the stratigraphy (layers) of sandstone in an area with tectonic activity. The area is open to scuba divers, so the really curious can strap on air tanks and decide for themselves.
The Bermuda Triangle
The Bermuda Triangle has probably spawned more wild theories, column inches, and online discussion than any other ocean mystery—more than 50 ships and 20 aircraft are said to have vanished there. Although the triangle has never officially been defined, by some accounts it covers at least 500,000 square miles and lies between Bermuda, Florida, and Puerto Rico.
The mystery first caught the public imagination in December 1945 when Flight 19, consisting of five U.S. Navy TBM Avenger torpedo bombers and their 14 crewmembers, were lost without a trace during a routine training operation in the area. Interest was further piqued when it was later reported that one of the search-and-rescue planes dispatched to find the missing team had also disappeared. Articles and books such as Charles Berlitz's The Bermuda Triangle, first published in 1974 and having since sold over 20 million copies in 30 languages, have served to keep the mystery alive, providing potential theories both natural and supernatural. Scientists—and world-renowned insurers Lloyd's of London—have attempted to debunk the myth of the Bermuda Triangle, offering evidence that the rate of disappearance in the vast and busy triangle is no higher than other comparable shipping lanes, but such is the power of a good story that this is one story that seems likely to continue to fascinate.
The Kraken

For hundreds of years, sailors told tales of an enormous sea creature with huge tentacles known as the Kraken. Stories around the mythical kraken first started appearing in Scandinavia in the 12th century, and in 1555 Swedish cartographer Olaus Magnus provided an account of a sea creature with "sharp and long Horns round about, like a Tree root up by the Roots: They are ten or twelve cubits long, very black, and with huge eyes." The stories persisted, often mentioning a creature so large it resembled an island. In his 1755 book The Natural History of Norway, Danish historian Erik Ludvigsen Pontoppidan described the kraken as "incontestably the largest Sea monster in the world."
Scientists have proposed that these stories might derive from sightings of giant squid (Architeuthis dux), although evidence for an even larger, yet extremely elusive, colossal squid (Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni) has also come to light. The colossal squid is found in the deepest part of the Southern Ocean surrounding Antarctica, and is thought to be up to 46 feet long and 1100 pounds. The problem is that the animal is so rare very few specimens have been found intact, and no live specimen has ever been observed, which means that estimating its exact size is difficult. Researchers have also noticed that sperm whales have been observed with large scars, and have suggested that these could be the result of violent encounters with the colossal squid, which is known to have sharp rotating hooks on the ends of their tentacles.
The Treasure of the Merchant Royal
The remains of the Merchant Royal are known as one of the richest shipwrecks ever. The ship set sail from the New World in 1641 laden with 100,000 pounds of gold, 400 Mexican silver bars, and thousands of precious gems—in total, a haul thought to be worth $1.3 billion today. The ship got caught in a storm and was thought to have gone down somewhere off the coast of Cornwall, England. The lost wreck became known as the "el Dorado of the seas" due to the enormous value of its cargo, and over the years numerous treasure hunters have searched fruitlessly for its final resting place, which remains undiscovered. In 2019 fishermen snagged what is thought to be the anchor from the Merchant Royal, but to date the dangerous conditions and extreme depths at which the wreck is thought to lie have meant it has remained unclaimed.
Attack of the Sea Foam
In December 2011, residents of Cleveleys, England, awoke to what appeared to be a soft blanket of snow. But as locals ventured out into the streets it soon became clear that this was no snowstorm, but instead something far more puzzling. Trees, cars, roads, and houses were all wrapped in a thick, white layer of foam. The Environment Agency were quickly deployed to take samples of the sea foam, since residents were understandably concerned as to the origin of the strange, gloopy substance, fearing it might be caused by pollutants.
The dramatic images of the foam-soaked town soon had journalists flocking to the region to investigate the phenomena, but as quickly as it appeared the foam disappeared, leaving behind only a salty residue. Scientists analyzing the foam confirmed it was not caused by detergents, and instead suspected that it was caused by a rare combination of decomposing algae out at sea and strong winds, which whipped up the viscous foam and blew it into land. The phenomena has apparently occurred at other times before and since, and researchers are now working to try and understand the exceptional conditions that cause it to form so that residents can be warned when another thick blanket is set to descend.
Bonus: The Bloop—Mystery Solved
Over the years, the oceans have produced a number of eerie and often unexplained sounds. In 1997, researchers from NOAA listening for underwater volcanic activity using hydrophones (underwater microphones) noticed an extremely loud, powerful series of noises in the Pacific Ocean. The unusual din excited researchers, who soon named it "The Bloop" in reference to its unique sound.
Theories abounded as to the origin of the bloop—secret military facility, reverberations from a ship's engine, or an enormous sea creature. The most fanciful suggestion stem from H. P. Lovecraft fans who noticed that the noise came from an area off South America where the sci-fi writer's fictional sunken city of R'lyeh was supposed to be. They proposed that the bloop might have originated from Lovecraft's "dead but dreaming" sea creature, Cthulhu. In 2005, however, scientists found that the mysterious sound was in fact the noise made by an icequake—or an iceberg shearing off from a glacier.

A pressure group in Ballyroan, Co. Laois has raised €40,000 in a single week to fund a High Court challenge against a proposed Coillte wind farm on the local mountain Cullenagh.
According to the group, the proposal is a gateway project which may lead to multiple damaging wind developments in Co. Laois.
Local group 'People Over Wind' says over 20 families committed €1,000 each – such is the level of concern and anger in the area, it says.
Coillte's application for a wind farm in Cullenagh, Co. Laois was initially turned down by Laois Co. Council and an Bord Planeala's inspector also recommended the application be refused.
However, an Bord Planeala over-ruled its inspector and granted Coillte planning permission for 18 150-metre turbines. The 'People Over Wind' group is taking its appeal to the High Court.
The Ratheniska substation, which has facility for 16 power lines and Cullenagh wind farm, represents the opening of the flood gates for Laois which could become a pin cushion of harmful infrastructure over the next 10 years, the group says.
It is now appealing for more contributions, to meet its target of €50,000 which is the amount needed to challenge the decision.


I'm not sure if its permissible to submit these both at the same time but thus far I am not seeing anything to the contrary in the rules.

Let's Dance campaign Gemeentemuseum
Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, one of The Netherland's most famous museums, decided to go out with a bang in the form of a colourful and energetic exhibition. All in honour of ending an era by changing its name to Kunstmuseum. This exhibition, Let's Dance, asked for a unique artwork along with promotional designs and animations.
The biggest challenge was to attract a younger audience while also triggering the regulars and older folks. By combining a historic still from Fame combined with playful typography and bright colors, we've succeeded to convince a widely ranged audience to visit the exhibition.

After a couple of weeks (or just a day or so in screen time), one of the mysterious deaths on "Harper's Island" has been discovered. Sheriff Mills starts off investigating the death of Kelly Seaver, whom they found hanged last week in her really nice place. Seriously, it is a really nice house. Big windows, lots of space. Probably cheap now that they found a dead girl in it. I should have my real estate agent call.
I've been waiting three episodes for the rest of the cast to become aware of the murders going on around them, and the general reaction can be best summed up by J.D. when Abby let him know Kelly was dead. "That's weird." What a bizarre way to go to commercial.
Sheriff Mills has a short conversation with the island's doctor about Kelly and her mega-severe case of pink eye and then rushes over to tell his daughter Abby what happened. In that one scene, Abby manages to simultaneously get on her dad's case about investigating Kelly's death (which he seemed to already be doing on his own) and withhold vital information from him (doesn't really help him investigate).
Abby starts a little investigation of her own. Though everywhere she goes, her dad seems to be right there with her. In so many suspense/thrillers, law enforcement always comes off as incompetent compared to the plucky protagonist. I'm glad Sheriff Mills is good at his job. Plus it means lots of screen time for actor Jim Beaver, of whom I'm also a fan.
You know who else I was a fan of in this episode? The victim. I have to admit that before I even watched Ka-Blam, I knew Hunter was going to get knocked off. Got a little spoiler while surfing the Net. He did a good job of making you want him dead: sneaking into the dressing room with the bride, blackmailing her father when he wanted out of the "bang my daughter" deal, and just general bad-boy behavior. By the time the gun popped up on his speed boat, I was cheering for Hunter to die.
But the biggest mystery to the guests so far seems to be why is Chloe with Cal? Every male in the cast seems to be asking that question. Even Cal. Though it was a good chance to get some background on the Brit. Found out he's a doctor. I wonder if that'll come in handy before all's said and done.
The episodes are living up to their titles. I'm not sure how Whap came from either death in the pilot, but Crackle definitely reflected Lucy's demise, and Ka-Blam is spot on for Hunter. Who's going to go out with a Bang next week? I'm going to double up on my bet last week that it's Beth.
Keep track of who's gone and who's still around here, and let me know who you think is a goner.


Michael, Earl of Wainwright aka the Lord of Pleasure is tired of being the subject of gossip and caricature etchings. He has made a bet with his friends that he can clean up his image and stay out of the scandal sheets for 40 days.
Camellia Grenville is the perfect daughter, quiet, unassuming, peacemaker and wallflower. But Camellia has dreams that do not include marrying the perfectly respectable, staid and well to do Mr. Bost – the man her parents have decided would be perfect for her.
When her sister is unable to attend the scandalous masquerade held by the infamous Duke of Lambley – Camellia rashly decides to take her place and so begins an adventure that will change her life. Camellia is accosted as she enters the ball and is saved by a masked man – Michael aka Lord X, they spend the evening together and thanks to anonymity of the masks – they share their secret desires and dreams – up to a point. When Camellia aka Lady X has to leave, Michael begs her to return for the next masquerade and she agrees.
Back in her real life, Camellia keeps running into Michael – a man she detests and takes every opportunity she can to tell him what she thinks of him. Michael is taken aback by this mousy woman, one of the few women he has ever met that doesn't fall at his feet. In his attempts to evade scandal, he has had the misfortune of running into Camellia and he is beginning to understand that while his reputation is grossly exaggerated – it is not entirely undeserved. He wants to be a better man and his meetings with Lady X have made him want to be a better man for her.
Michael is not perfect – he often speaks without thinking about the ramification his words might have, but once he realizes his error – he really makes an effort to set things right. I really liked him and thought that he sincerely wanted to change and I believe he succeeded. I personally found Camellia a bit too judgmental, she was fiercely loyal to her family and had their best interests at heart – but I felt like she was incredibly rude and even mean to Michael, especially when he had not really done anything wrong.
When their identities are finally revealed – Camellia decides that Michael's tarnished reputation will ruin her sisters chances for good marriages and walks away from him. A HEA will not be simple for these two, but when they finally get it – it is really lovely.
While I liked the book, I agree with other reviewers – the whole mask thing was a bit over the top – that they kept running into each other, yet don't realize it, was unbelievable. The book was well written and flowed well, but I didn't really care for Camellia's sisters and I never really forgave Camellia for her treatment of Michael. But the ending was great and made me love Michael all that much more!
