As well as building Snipes, Andrew Pimental is an active sailor. Seen here at the 2009 US Nationals with crew Julia Marsh.
When Jibetech opened its doors in 1989, there were several Snipe builders in the US. More than two decades later, Jibetech continues building boats for sailors both in the US and overseas. Here's a look at the company's history of Snipe building.
Andrew Pimental started Jibetech to build one design boats and parts and quickly found a home in the Snipe class. With help from national champion Ed Adams, Andrew built a modern hull shape that attracted attention in the parking lot and was noticeably quick to jump onto a plane.
The all-new Jibetech sported sleek low-windage rails, deep floors, custom stripes, and not one splinter of teak. In 1990 the new design made its Nationals debut in Annapolis. Results quickly followed: 1st at the 1991 Nationals. 2nd at the 1992 Nationals. 1st AND 2nd in 1993, as well as a win at that year's North Americans. Orders trickled, then streamed in. A new era in the sixty year old class had arrived.
By 1998, the Jibetech molds had produced almost forty boats for fleets around the world and were in need of replacement. After consulting with crews tired of the "firehose reach," skippers looking for something a bit easier to steer downwind, and naval architect Paul Cronin, Andrew built a new set of molds with wider chines, a fuller bow, and (the most obvious change) a rail that ran the entire length of the boat. Not only did crews stay drier but the boats were much easier to pick up and load on a trailer. Again, orders followed results. And in 2004, Andrew finally won the Nationals himself.
Top finishes, distinctive colors, innovations in rigging, and a carbon fiber splash rail make the more than 130 Jibetechs built to date easy to spot at regattas around the world. Over the years, they have gained a reputation as a crew-friendly and family-friendly design that will keep us all sailing Snipes for a long time to come.
For JIBETECH's twentieth anniversary, the molds have once again been upgraded. The 2009 model is maximum width at the chines, resulting in better control and improved speed. As with previous models, the results and orders are sure to follow. Here's to Andrew and another twenty great years of Jibetech Snipes.

What's in Your Snipe Toolbox?
The World Champion's Boat

The deadlift is a "takes more than it gives" movement. It's recovery intrusive, possibly more than any other compound movement. No lift causes a greater degree of "workout hangover" than heavy and hard deadlifting.
Why? Most coaches say it's because of the direct attachment of the hands to the bar, and the effect that has on the spine and autonomic nervous system. They also believe this causes a high degree of stimulation to the sympathetic nervous system, depressing the parasympathetic nervous system, causing a massive inroad to systemic recovery.
All of this is theory, but it feels true. Especially after a heavy day of deadlifting. But theory aside, science shows us that volume isn't actually the driver for strength gains. The neurological adaption to moving loads with greater speed, or moving greater intensities in a lift, are the primary drivers for strength improvement.
There's literally zero reasons to be doing highly-volumized deadlift routines. Same for trying to do high-rep (12-plus) working sets of deadlifts. Both will drive recovery into the ground.
If you're looking to build maximal strength in the deadlift then sets of three to five should be your bread and butter.

This had to have been an invasion of privacy because Yoohyun and Irin were together all the time. Maybe it was about personal tastes, which I was a bit curious about. He might be a fan of a celebrity while pretending he had no hobbies. Did Yoohyun play any games? Yerim said she played a game in which she decorated things.
"No, I have none."
"Really? Your face says otherwise."
Yoohyun turned around, and his reaction said that there was something. While family members had to respect each other's privacy, I wondered what his secret was. I hoped he was going on dates without telling me.
I took out my phone to find Taewon Song's number. Not being able to see well was inconvenient, so maybe I should get glasses as a temporary measure. He probably bought a new phone or connected a different one since he answered. Taewon Song told me that he was where the dungeon break had occurred when I told him I wanted to meet him concerning yesterday.
"Then, can I come over there?"
"Yes, but it will not be a comfortable meet up."
While there had been almost no casualties, things would be uncomfortable since it was an accident site. I was going out of the room after ending the call when Yoohyun grabbed my arm.
"You said you couldn't see well. I'll help."
"I'm not blind, and I can get around."
While I stumbled a few times on the stairs, I could manage myself on even ground.
"If you can't see…"
"It's nothing."
While my brother had mumbled, I could understand what he was thinking. While it had not happened yet, he had not healed my leg.
"I need to see because I want to see you and everyone else."
Most of what I lived for would disappear if I could not see the children since I was feeling the strain of not being able to see Yoohyun clearly. I should get a pair of glasses on the way.
Soyoung Kang and other Sesung hunters, were waiting when we went outside the miniature portal. Their faces were filled with dread and worry since Hyunjae Sung had sent them to bring us clothes.
"Nothing…happened, right?"
Soyoung Kang asked with an expression that she desperately wanted an affirmative answer. While many things happened, I could not say anything specifically.
"The aquarium had burst."
"Oh! The aquarium will not burst under normal circumstances…"
"We used it to put out a fire in the garden below due to light refraction."
"Oh, all right…"
I wanted things to go over smoothly, but Soyoung Kang and other hunters continued to glance at Yoohyun. He must look like Minyui Kim to them, and I wondered if something went wrong with the effect on the glasses.
Odd gazes followed Yoohyun, or Minyui Kim until we got out of the Sesung Guild building. They did not approach us but followed him with observant eyes.
"Did you do something while I was gone?"
"No, nothing happened. I went to Sesung Guild leader's house with his permission."
Then why were Sesung hunters acting like that? Was it because of the accident on the road? He had organized the site too easily for a supporting hunter.
"Hello, Hunter Minyui Kim. If it's not too much trouble, would you receive this card?"
I met another guild employee who was giving out his card in the parking lot, although it was rude to approach a hunter who already belonged to another guild. A fight might ensue against a high-class hunter, but since Minyui Kim was a B class supporter, others could try to reach him.
People might really be thinking that Minyui Kim did not have B class supporting stats because of what happened at the accident site. The guy would be mixed up in some complications when he came back.
We politely refused the card and got a pair of glasses at a store before heading to the dungeon break site. The surrounding area was off-limits since there still might be monsters around.
While the site had been chaotic at night, it was a battleground at midday. While the rain had stopped, it was still cloudy, and with the building ruins and cracked roads looked eerie like a scene from an apocalypse film.
Well, the end of the world as we knew it might come for real.
"You came."
Taewon Song came to us, and his gaze stopped on my face.
"Are those glasses prescribed?"
"Yes, things happened."
"What had…"
Taewon Song stopped speaking and looked around.
"Let's talk somewhere else."
"The convenience store is unlocked and empty since the employees were not able to lock it up before escaping. Let's go there."
There were tables and chairs in the store, and while large debris had fallen around, the glass walls were fortunately intact. I placed a wet bill on the counter after choosing a coffee.
"Is this much all right?"
I asked as I handed a coffee to Taewon Song. It cost less than two thousand won because of a two-plus-one event, although I had left a ten thousand won bill for it. Taewon Song asked what had happened as soon as we sat on the chairs.
"It's because of the Sesung Guild leader."
Yoohyun revealed the culprit as he sat next to me, and Taewon Song's brow furrowed at the same time.
"Is it because of what happened last night?"
"No, he escorted me home without any problems. I had gone to his house today-"
"Yoohyun Han had gone there alone and suffered the consequences."
My brother spoke in a sulky voice.
"You went there alone."
Taewon Song sighed, and the two stared at me with similar eyes. So what? I could allow Yoohyun to look at me like that, but Taewon Song's gaze was too intense for my tastes.
"I'm alright except for my eyes. Actually, I was going to track you down because of yesterday's dungeon break."
I continued as I put a straw in the coffee.
"Will you cooperate, interfere, or observe us?"
Taewon Song ripped the plastic wrapping from the straw as he stared at me. He drank a sip before opening his mouth to speak.
"I already said that I would protect you."
So, he would be on my side if my safety were on the line. I would welcome the protection anyway.
"I have something to ask you."
I did not want to be forward, but I could not stifle my curiosity.
"If you gave the Sesung Guild leader something precious as a present before you died, why would you do so?"
Taewon Song stared at me like I was crazy, and Yoohyun looked at me as if I were sick. How do I explain this?

Sophia is the capital of Bulgaria, its largest city and the cultural nexus of the country, all of which make Sophia a prime tourist destination. It is also nearly surrounded by mountains, which makes for great hiking or skiing day trips. Also, the Black Sea resorts are within 3 hours travel by car.
Sophia has several well known thermal mineral springs that were first put to use by the Romans who constructed baths during the reign of Tragen. Since that time, several baths have always drawn visitors seeking the rejuvenating effects.
Sophia has a rich history beginning in the 8th century BC, when it was a Thracian village. It has served as the capital, or as an important city, during the Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman Empires, and the architecture, food and ambiance of Sophia reflect this diversity. Bulgaria became independent from the Soviet Union in 1989 and has recently joined the European Union.
Sophia has many historic sites, including a UNESCO designated site, the Boyana Church, which was built in the 10th century. Other churches of architectural and cultural interest are the Orthodox Alexander Nevski Cathedral and Church of St Sophia, which is a fine example of the Byzantine style.
There is a central shopping area in Sophia where most of the contemporary European chain stores are represented. TZM is the oldest department store and Vitosha Boulevard is the place to find luxury items and fashion boutiques, with shops featuring most of the popular international designers. An alternative are the outdoor markets, especially the book market located at the Slaveykov Square.
Sophia has a vibrant night life with cafes, bars and clubs that remain open 24 hours daily. Many offer live music and there are several DJ orchestrated house music dance clubs. A visit to a traditional Bulgarian tavern, or Methani is a pleasant and unique experience. Sophia boasts a great number of restaurants with nearly every type of cuisine on offer.
There are several destinations for family outings, such as Sophia Land, a very large amusement park, and the Sophia Zoological Garden, which is conveniently located next door.
Sophia's central district offers a lovely area for strolling, with streets cobbled in yellow stones and the Borisova Gradina, a large public garden, offers a quiet place to sit.

The key Motor City DJ shares musical stories, deep knowledge and trade secrets with BMG, live from our Detroit studio.
Alton Miller is one of those rare Detroit heads who is super humble – he not only witnessed the dawn of Detroit techno but was a major catalyst to its development. He connects Detroit to Chicago in a unique way, so this time on IT, we'll explore his history and influences, and hopefully hear some stories about taking Detroiters to the Muzic Box to see Ron Hardy, or of his early residency at the Music Institute — among other highlights of a life spent in the underground. Miller will open the show with an hour-long live mix.

Cameron has featured in the award winning Police/Crime ITV drama 'Unforgotten'.


Brennan, Booth, and Christine have traveled to LA to be on the set of Bone of Contention, a full-length movie being made from Brennan's book of the same name. The stars, Cherie Redfern and Blaine Conway, are playing the fictionalized Brennan and Booth - Dr. Kathy Reichs (true to the name-flipping conceit of Bones) and Andy Lister (rather than Andrew Ryan, the love interest in Reichs' Brennan books). The set is awash in fancy, blinking things and is emblazoned with WISK, the Washington Institute for Science and Technology.
Brennan is initially upset at the revisions to her screenplay, but she and Booth settle in to watch the filming. When Redfern as Reichs says something along the lines of, "The victim has penetrating trauma to the chest bones followed by a massive cardiacal eruption. I could extract the medial epicondyle..." then breaks open the chest cavity, Brennan loses it and complains about the mistakes in the science and dialogue. Mandy Oh, the VP of production, insists they have a consultant on staff to keep the science on track, but Brennan quickly finds out it's Doug Philmore, the Canadian forensic podiatrist from S06E17 (one of the better episodes from last season). Philmore is doing his best, but he is also chagrined that the director, Jocko Kent, doesn't care about the science.
As a new body is being swapped in for the one Redfern broke, a stench pervades the air. Brennan and Booth quickly realize it's a real body, then get permission (from the VP of production and head of security, because no need to call the LAPD, folks!) to solve the murder mystery. The victim was a man in his mid 40s, and based on the state of decomposition, he had been dead around 90-120 hours. According to Philmore, the set is a fully functioning laboratory because it would cost the same as a prop lab... because all movies have a prop budget of tens of millions of dollars in equipment and supplies?
The profusion of perimortem bone damage to the victim's arms and torso, along with the skull damage, suggest he was attacked in some manner. The jagged edge of the costal margin of the left 7th rib suggests his cause of death was a punctured aorta. The actor playing the Hodgins character inserts himself into the investigation, since he has a doctorate in botany and microbiology from UC Berkeley. Foliage on the victim's shoe is Laurus nobilis (bay laurel), common in California. Brennan lets Dr. Barry Summers consult and run tests on Hodgins' behalf.
Angela's facial reconstruction is quickly identified by Summers as Hansen Stephens, the head of the studio. His head has traces of brass and foliage on it, suggesting he was killed with or near a sprinkler. Booth questions pretty much everyone: Stephens' assistant, Mandy Oh, Blaine Conway, and Liam Toynen (the screenwriter). They didn't do it, even though Mandy's car had some foliage in the bumper and she's a racist troll.
Two shards of aluminosilicate, or fragments of a cell phone screen, are found embedded in the metacarpals by Dr. Philmore. Angela goes to the data backup service again and finds texts Stephens sent to Cherie, whom he was sleeping with. But she was also sleeping with Jocko and Fernando, the junior groundskeeper (also a movie producer in Mexico). Philmore's reconstruction of the footprints from the scene suggests that Stephens was running from someone or something. Based on the pattern of injuries on Stephens' bones, Angela narrows down the kind of vehicle that hit him to something with a small turning radius.
Brennan and Booth are hanging out outside Cherie's trailer, where there is a giant bush shaped like an elephant, when they realize the elephant's trunk has been repaired since Stephens' death. The golf cart of the groundskeeper, Valerie Rodgers, matches the small turning radius, and she confesses immediately to running down Stephens, who was unrepentant that he mauled her prized pachyderm topiary.
And it turns out that Dr. Summers was in a movie with Dr. Saroyan years ago called Invasion of the Mothersuckers, making her the female Blacula.
I don't buy in any way that it's just as expensive to make a fake lab as set up a real lab. Mass specs are not cheap, my friend.
I do buy that someone with a doctorate in botany would be in the movies. PSA: Students - academia does not pay well. At all.
For all its snazziness, Philmore's footprint replicator thing didn't do much - it was dismissed by Brennan off-screen.
How did Rodgers get the body to the prop room? Why didn't she quit her job and leave after she killed someone, rather than returning to the scene of the crime for a couple of days? I guess she is supposed to be psychotic or something.
"Learn how one tibia can topple an Empire!" I have got to steal that for the title of my next conference paper on pathology in the Roman Empire.
Dr. Summers noting that acting, his first love, won out, "kind of like a methicillin-resistant staph infection."
Conway/Lister's belt buckle says Kooky. Cute.
Jocko: "I thought it was a film shooting. I'm not used to real things."
Saroyan, Sweets, Angela, and Hodgins get blown up while picnicing at the Washington Monument in the trailer for Bone of Contention. Awesome.
The whole Saroyan storyline was silly, but I actually met my husband during a screening of Blacula, so I'll allow it.
Liam Toynen: "Stephens paid me buckets to write crap" like this movie.
Brennan, to Philmore: "I'm glad that your foray into another pseudo-profession like film consulting hasn't dulled your scientific acumen."
Forensic Mystery - C. Vague handwaving about facial reconstruction identified the victim. Most of the clues to his killing were interesting, but it was infuriating that they all came sequentially (which is necessary for the plot of the show) when most of them would come at once in a real investigation (e.g., finding two phones, finding the cell phone in the metacarpals).
Forensic Solution - B+. There were a lot of interesting techniques being used. If you can suspend disbelief about the presence of a fully-functioning lab on a movie set, then the majority of the forensic work was quite good.
Drama - B-. There weren't a lot of stakes to the killing of Stephens. I could have done with fewer red herrings, but the point was that there were plenty of people who could have and would have killed the guy. No one would believe that Booth would move to LA. And the Saroyan storyline was just episode filler.
Meta-Commentary - A-. I said last week that I was excited about the possibilities this episode held for reflecting on itself. And I was not disappointed. Brennan bitched about the poor science in the movie, which is a fictionalization of her book, which was a fictionalization of her work, which is a fictionalization of Kathy Reichs' work. Her catty remark to Philmore about consulting was pretty delicious. If only they'd mocked how quickly forensic work gets done on TV, they'd have gotten a full A from me.
I was disappointed in the choice of killer. I liked her, and she was one of the nicer people on set.
Missed the best line of dialog. "You give me too much credit, Dr. Philmore. You are perfectly capable of recognizing your own inadequacies."
Seeing that the writers threw in a character that is an actor with "a doctorate in botany and microbiology" reminds me: is anyone else bothered by the fact that at one point many seasons ago (I stopped watching many seasons ago), it is said that both Brennan and Hodgins have 3 doctorate degrees each. However, the show started 7 years ago and it seemed like the characters had been employed at the fake Smithsonian for at least some period of time and were not new employees, yet all were probably about early 30's (I don't recall any of their stated ages from when I watched, if they ever stated them). I have never really understood how that is possible, but then again, they said on the first episode of the show that the nearest forensic anthropologist other than Brennan was in Canada (Quebec, if I recall), so who really knows what these writers are thinking?
I am impressed that you were able to find a suitable mate at a movie titled "Blacula".
Yes, Hodgins definitely is said to have 2 or 3 PhDs. Even if we allow that he and Brennan are full-on geniuses, it's still gonna take at least 4 years to get a degree in forensic anthropology, botany, or microbiology. I mean, that's how long it takes to organize, fund, carry out, and write up a research project (the dissertation).
So let's say that Hodgins got out of college at 18 ('cause he is a genius) and did three back-to-back PhDs, he'd be 30 when he started at the Jeffersonian. Which means now after 7 seasons, he'd be at least 37. Not sure how old Hodgins is supposed to be, but the actor playing him is 37. So that could actually work. If we assume Hodgins skipped a few years of high school/college and that he went through three PhD programs really fast.
Same would have to be true for Brennan; Emily Deschanel is 35, so she'd have to have skipped a lot of stuff. I don't think she did at the high school level (she was bounced around in foster care).
Sweets' back story does definitely involve graduating early and being really young for his profession. Honestly, of all of them, I find the Sweets story hardest to believe. Geniuses tend to be good in the hard sciences and math, not in psychology, which involves a deeper understanding of human nature than most people have at a young age.
>I don't buy in any way that it's just as expensive to make a fake lab as set up a real lab. Mass specs are not cheap, my friend.
Don't forget about Hollywood accounting.
Step 1: Buy mass spec for $150,000.
Step 2: Use mass spac for two weeks of shooting where it's powered on and does nothing else.
Net result on paper: less royalties that have to be paid out.
Compare to having a mass spec built by the prop manager - thousands of dollars on a box with lights that geeks will say is all wrong and which after the movie goes to sit in a property warehouse.
"I do buy that someone with a doctorate in botany would be in the movies. PSA: Students - academia does not pay well. At all."
An example: actress Mayim Bialik (a.o. "The Big Bang Theory") holds a PhD in neuroscience.


In the past, the idea of putting the words "creative" and "mathematician" in the same sentence would have seemed out of place. These days though, making sense of complex data requires design skills and number crunching that are as much art as they are science.

The Transit of Empire
Indigenous Critiques of Colonialism
Jodi A. Byrd
Examines how "Indianness" has propagated U.S. conceptions of empire
Jodi A. Byrd explores how indigeneity functions as transit, a trajectory of movement serving as precedent within U.S. imperial history. Byrd contends that the colonization of American Indian and indigenous nations is the necessary ground to reimagine a future where the losses of indigenous peoples are visible, but they have agency to transform life on their lands and on their terms.
Theoretically rich, and broad in its intellectual scope, The Transit of Empire puts Indianness at the center of American histories that are not only national, but explicitly imperial and colonial. Jodi Byrd's brilliant critique of contemporary multicultural liberalism places American Indian and Indigenous studies in close dialogue with postcolonial scholarship, transforming both in the process. It is a work of power, complexity, and commitment, and should not be missed by anyone in these fields.

In 1761 and again in 1769, European scientists raced around the world to observe the transit of Venus, a rare astronomical event in which the planet Venus passes in front of the sun. In The Transit of Empire, Jodi A. Byrd explores how indigeneity functions as transit, a trajectory of movement that serves as precedent within U.S. imperial history. Byrd argues that contemporary U.S. empire expands itself through a transferable "Indianness" that facilitates acquisitions of lands, territories, and resources.
Examining an array of literary texts, historical moments, and pending legislations—from the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma's vote in 2007 to expel Cherokee Freedmen to the Native Hawaiian Government Reorganization bill—Byrd demonstrates that inclusion into the multicultural cosmopole does not end colonialism as it is purported to do. Rather, that inclusion is the very site of the colonization that feeds U.S. empire.
Byrd contends that the colonization of American Indian and indigenous nations is the necessary ground from which to reimagine a future where the losses of indigenous peoples are not only visible and, in turn, grieveable, but where indigenous peoples have agency to transform life on their own lands and on their own terms.

Jodi A. Byrd is a citizen of the Chickasaw Nation of Oklahoma and assistant professor of American Indian studies and English at University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign
The Transit of Empire is a sophisticated and groundbreaking work of indigenous critical theory in which Jodi Byrd reveals and explores the cacophonies of colonialism in literary, historical, and political settings.
Kevin Bruyneel, Babson College
In a world of painfully narrow academic monographs, rare is the work that teams with ideas,
engagements, and interventions across a wide terrain of social life. In The Transit of Empire:
Indigenous Critiques of Colonialism, Jodi Byrd has produced such a book.
Jodi Byrd's book The Transit of Empire: Indigenous Critique of Colonialism is a brilliant and trenchant examination of U.S. imperialism and colonialism, the work of a mature and sophisticated critical theorist who seeks to decolonize critical theory in service of the larger project of decolonization. Transit is a wide-ranging text, eclectic in it geographic range, an impressive representative of recent Native American Studies scholarship that engages historical and political issues in an interdisciplinary mode.
Amerasia Journal
Jodi Byrd's The Transit of Empire traverses material and symbolic realms through which native and indigenous identities have been forged under the yoke of settler colonialism. Throughout, Byrd's analysis offers a warrior vision of what it might mean to combat the violence of colonialism through the exacting critiques of indigenous theory, a figurative weapon with which to symbolically settle the scores of native history and ground claims for an as yet unwritten American Indian future.
Anthropological Quarterly
A thoroughgoing and often breathtaking critique of the collapsing of indigeneity into racial Indianness. The Transit of Empire provides an invaluable resource in articulating a new paradigm through which to understand legacies of invasion, dispossession, diaspora, and racialized exploitation as they intersect with the (re)production of the United States as a settler state and extension of its power "abroad."
Studies in American Indian Literature
Byrd offers a critical methodology for theorizing and studying colonialism within the constraints of settler-colonialism and U.S. imperialism. Byrd's work opens up ways of looking that challenge liberal multicultural politics and anticapitalist movements to bring colonialism to the forefront. She offers possibilities for change.

Inside Medicine at Weill Cornell: Solving Sarah's Puzzle
When graduate student Sarah Bettigole approached Dr. Laurie H. Glimcher to work in her lab, she felt as though she were proposing marriage. The analogy made sense: In Dr. Glimcher, now the Stephen and Suzanne Weiss Dean of Weill Cornell Medical College, Dr. Bettigole saw her ideal, an experienced and wise mentor who modeled infinite possibilities as a woman in science.
The relationship they've developed over the last four years, Dr. Bettigole says — first at Harvard University, where Dr. Glimcher was then a professor of immunology, and now at Weill Cornell, where the physician-scientist moved her lab when she became dean — has been "incredible."
"Laurie has been one of the best, if not the best, scientific role models in my life, regardless of gender," says Dr. Bettigole, 27, who successfully defended her doctoral dissertation last week and is the subject of the first episode of the new Inside Medicine at Weill Cornell video series.
From Dr. Glimcher, Dr. Bettigole says, she has learned how to accept and move on from failure — an essential skill in a field in which most experiments lead to dead ends. She has discovered the need to make one's science broadly meaningful and impactful for patients.
And while gender hasn't been an explicit theme in their interactions, Dr. Bettigole has received a consistently firm but supportive message about how to achieve her professional and personal aspirations from Dr. Glimcher, who raised three children while rising through the ranks of academic medicine: Just do it, and do it better.
"She grew up in a time where [gender] really mattered a whole lot more," says Dr. Bettigole, who remembers her family and teachers always encouraging her interest in biology. "You had to fight a lot to prove you were just as good. And so her attitude now is kind of, 'If you're a woman in science, you have to be better, you have to be tougher.'
"And that's okay, I think that's nice to kind of keep you driven," Dr. Bettigole adds. "You have to be outspoken, you have to be confident, and you can do it. Don't let somebody tell you that you can't do it. But you have to earn it, too."
Earning it, as Dr. Bettigole explains in the video, involves a kind of struggle between heart and mind, in which a scientist's investment in an idea confronts the limitations of her results in the lab. That's what happened when she and her colleagues were trying to figure out why an immune cell known as an eosinophil, a major player in allergy, asthma and parasite infections, was completely eliminated after blocking a key cellular stress response. The scientists had hit a wall, Dr. Bettigole recalls, and Dr. Glimcher stepped in to strategically refocus the paper on describing how the eosinophil stopped working, rather than why.
"You have to get really good with failure," Dr. Bettigole says. "If you get a hint, a tantalizing hint that something is real, then you slog through the failures trying to figure out why it's real. But another part of science is figuring out when you're wrong enough of the time to let it go, which is a skill that I've learned really well here."
Science also involves telling a story — another skill she learned from her mentor. While planning their paper on eosinophil development — a process highlighted in the video — the dean recommended that the authors emphasize the striking severity and specificity of the immune cell defect and the implications for eosinophil-mediated disease rather than more general cell biology. "There is a lot of nonsense that happens in science, and there are a lot of fireworks or decorations to try to make a story more interesting than something else, or more interesting than it actually is," Dr. Bettigole says. "So that ability to really distill that information down to what is an important question to ask and how can it actually help people — they're the only things that matter.
"Laurie has a wonderful historical perspective that facilitates a killer instinct about the best aspects of a project to highlight," she says. "It helps you elevate your research to a level you didn't expect, necessarily." The paper is under review at Nature Immunology.
Among other boosts Dr. Bettigole received from Dr. Glimcher's mentorship was the realization that good science requires participation in myriad spheres; in addition to heading a lab, the dean fundraises and advises a pharmaceutical company. That juggling act, while tricky, can extend the reach and magnitude of an investigator's science, adding a depth to her skill set and a richness to her work, Dr. Bettigole says.
"There are a lot of demands and sometimes life really catches up with you and you feel overwhelmed," Dr. Bettigole says. "So every now and then you'll have a meeting with Laurie and you'll say, 'I feel like I can't get all of this done. I feel like it's just too much.' Since she is a master of efficiency, she knows that there's a way to pull it off, and she'll just say very matter of factly, 'Just do it.'
"The way that she says it makes you think that you haven't thought of everything and that there actually is a way to pull it off, and that you know that you can find it," Dr. Bettigole says. "So you refine your own skill set, you refine your own organizational strategy, and you find a way to do that very thing that you thought was impossible."

Individuals often have bother understanding the word "tradeoff", sure sufficient it is easy enough to grasp as change but in right now's company parlance it is meant as trade of 1 commodity as a value for another. I was playing Ultimate Fantasy's Dissidia on the good old PSP yesterday when I marveled at the game's replay worth, sure I have spent over 50 hours on it already, which is what this whole subject is all about.
Usually in case you have a look at the oldest games like Mario and Dave, they had one thing unanimously widespread, dependancy to it. Not that I am propagating obsession in the direction of anything, however that is what the present paradigm of gaming has come right down to; a commodity. I've always been a gamer, I cannot deny that and this is exactly what my competition with gaming at this time is. The first games had quite a lot of things that hooked individuals up but most of all it was in regards to the degree of engagement that the player had with the game environment or the "world" of the game. And this engagement has little to do with the 3D graphics or the in depth options available.
Let us check out the progression; first it was the arrival of the simple arcade sort games which were phenomenal to a sure point. Stored players hooked and introduced a complete new boom of media into the world. This was where literally each child was begging for the Atari methods and your Pentium II and III machines had Sega and NeoGeo emulators put in (mine nonetheless has each put in by the way) and geek 4 life game play parts have been about troublesome commands blended in with intelligent sequences. Take this forward a bit further and the identical systems included respectable mixed stories and continuity within the games enhance the media capabilities being explored in the avenues. The combating game series KOF is an ardent testament to that and from there got here the further boom of flip based mostly strategy and function playing games which turned akin to "user managed novels" on computers. This adaptability of each game-play and media may be called as the turning curve of the gaming industry.
Because this was the place a number of business heads realized that the games might be used to simulate numerous issues, pretty much every thing so the potential as a business commodity was apparent even from then on. The progress from then on was about enhancing the visible effects of the game, the additives had been obvious the visuals wanted extra work so in got here the influx of funding in gaming studios and the push for 3d graphics into gaming. That apex may be called as the secondary curve because as soon as that was established, the potential for business achieve via games turned second to virtually none. Hollywood motion pictures will let you know the story of boom and fall with out fail but games have the replay factor hooked up to them no matter their audience dimension that ensures reward.
And this replay factor was cashed in next. We all can see the net capabilities being offered by games which as additionally paved way to players just buying the next powerup or update online. The concept of "buying all" is the place we will point and say that gaming has devolved. So at a degree the place gaming was enjoyable with added complexity like Baldur's Gate, Ys, Metal Gear Strong, the games went on to grow to be extra about commodity value.
The largest factor in all that is mobile gaming after all and right here I point on the smartphone games which are purely centered on time killing. The problem occurs when the vast majority of the smartphone gamers should not common gamers however extra so there to just kill time. So once you give a game like Subway Surfers online shopping for advantages for the "normal" individuals, some degree of competitors envelopes between the console/PC games and the phone games. The niches are totally different, the classes are different, and the scale is different. A game like Temple Run cannot be compared to Farcry three however ultimately when the games turn out to be about money then these things sidetrack and mix in.


The Center for Emerging Visual Artists (CFEVA) is delighted to announce that its Felicity R. "Bebe" Benoliel Gallery is featuring CFEVA Fellowship Alumni Collete Fu.
Fu's most recent work is based on her ongoing exploration of the ethnic minority groups of China. The country has fifty-five ethnic minority groups making up less than 9% of its population, with the Han representing the majority. Fu's own mother is from the Black Nuosu tribe. Among other works, For Our Ancestors features an extra-large fifteen-foot pop-up accordion book that tells the story of a relatively unknown fishing contest of the Miao people, inspired by the pioneering pop-up books of German illustrator Lothar Meggendorfer.
The exhibition at CFEVA coincides with Colette's partnership with the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center to achieve the Guinness Record for the World's Largest Pop-up Book.
Colette Fu received her MFA in Fine Art Photography from the Rochester Institute of Technology in 2003, and soon after began devising complex compositions that incorporate photography and pop-up paper engineering. She has designed for award winning stop motion animation commercials and free-lanced for clients including Vogue China, Canon Asia and Moët Hennessy • Louis Vuitton and the Delaware Disaster Research Center. Her pop-up books are included in the National Museum of Women in the Arts, Library of Congress, Metropolitan Museum of Art, the West Collection and many private and rare archive collections. In 2014, Fu attended a 6-month artist residency at the Swatch Art Peace Hotel in Shanghai, where she continued her "We are Tiger Dragon" project, an extensive visual exploration of China's ethnic minorities. There she also designed China's largest (1 spread) pop-up book measuring 2.5 x 5 x 1.7 meters high. Fu's numerous awards include a Fulbright Research Fellowship to China, a Fellowship with The Center for Emerging Visual Artists, and grants from the Independence Foundation, Leeway Foundation, En Foco, Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, New York Foundation for the Arts, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, Puffin Foundation and Society for Photographic Education. Fu has also held artist residencies at Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center, Macdowell Colony, Sacatar, Vermont Studio Center, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Visual Studies Workshop, the Institute of Electronic Arts at Alfred University, Millay Colony, and the Alden B. Dow Center for Creativity. Her solo show "Wanderer/Wonderer: the Pop-ups of Colette Fu" was presented at the National Museum of Women in the Arts in 2016/17. A passionate educator, Fu also teaches artmaking as a way to give voice to communities through pop-up paper engineered projects. She teaches pop-up courses and community workshops to marginalized populations at art centers, universities and institutions internationally.


I've actually heard all the complaints I list in the song from various ladies and gents! I've done my share of complaining too. But then I thought about my wife and her cancer with all its hardships and my best friend and all he's gone through in his life. They both kept at it and with good spirit; so now I try to shut up and Quit my bitchin', 'cause life is precious but short, so enjoy every single day you get!
Even if your job is just mowin' lawns, so…..
Quit your bitchin', everybody's gotta die, someday.... Quit your bitchin', everybody's gotta die, someday.... whoo hoo!

On 19 August 2016 at 1458, a Port Phillip Sea Pilot boarded Bow Singapore outside Port Phillip, Victoria. The pilot was to conduct the ship through The Rip and the South Channel to an anchorage in the northern part of Port Phillip.
At 1614, as the ship neared the eastern end of the South Channel, the rudder ceased responding to helm inputs and remained at 5° to port. The ship started swinging towards the edge of the channel. Steering was regained a short time later but, despite the efforts of the pilot, the ship grounded at 1617.
On 20 August at 0040, Bow Singapore was re-floated, with the assistance of the rising tide and a tug. The ship proceeded to anchor and, later, to the discharge berth in Geelong. After discharging cargo the hull was inspected by divers and no damage was found.
What the ATSB found
The ATSB found Bow Singapore's steering gear ceased working and the rudder remained at 5° to port. A telemotor solenoid, controlling the rudder's movement to starboard, had stopped responding to electrical signals. This initiated an uncontrolled turn towards the edge of the channel and shallow water.
The company's procedures for a steering gear failure required a change in operation from the bridge to local emergency operation from the steering gear room. However, the procedures did not include the steps to be taken on the bridge prior to that change, such as using non follow-up mode and changing to alternate telemotor and/or pump systems.
The planned maintenance system for the steering gear did not include or contain any schedules for any detailed inspections or scheduled parts replacement. In addition, the hydraulic system port and starboard solenoids were painted green and red respectively, to match the side of the ship that each is on when mounted on the shuttle valve. However, this was opposite to the direction the rudder would move when they were operated.
What's been done as a result
Odfjell Management, the ship's managers, arranged for a manufacturer's representative of the steering gear to attend the ship when it arrived in Singapore. The solenoids and shuttle valves for both steering systems were replaced, the relief valves were opened and examined and the oil was changed. No faults that could cause the failure were found.
The ship managers have now included a 6‑monthly job entry into their planned maintenance system for the opening and inspection of the steering gear's solenoids. In addition, the telemotor solenoids have been repainted so that the colours now match the direction of rudder movement, rather than the side of the ship on which they are mounted.
Further, the fleet wide safety management system procedure for 'steering gear failure' has been amended to include reference to ship specific emergency change over procedures.
Safety message
For equipment, particularly that which is critical to the safe operation of a ship, it is important that there is a well-formulated maintenance plan that includes inspection, testing and planned maintenance.
The occurrence
On 19 August 2016 at 1450,[1] the 105 m chemical and products tanker Bow Singapore, approached the Port Phillip pilot boarding ground. The ship was bound for the port of Geelong, Victoria. The bridge team consisted of the master, second mate as the officer of the watch (OOW) and a seaman as the helmsman.
At 1458, a Port Phillip Sea Pilot boarded the ship for the inbound transit (Figure 1), through The Rip and South Channel to an anchorage off the Port of Geelong. The master and pilot exchanged information regarding the ship and the inward passage and the pilot then took the conduct.[2]

Source: Australian Hydrographic Service with annotation by the ATSB
At 1505:13, the pilot instructed the helmsman to steer a heading[3] of 042°. Shortly after, the ship entered The Rip and was turned into the South Channel on an east by south course. The transit through the channel continued as intended by the pilot.
At 1600, the ship was approaching the eastern end of the South Channel at a speed of 13.5 knots.[4] At that time the third mate took over the navigational watch from the second mate as OOW and another seaman took over as helmsman.
At 1611:43, the pilot ordered a heading of 093° (Figure 2, point 1), an alteration of about 7° to port. The order was repeated back by the helmsman, and at 1612:32 he advised the pilot that the ship's heading was 093° (Figure 2, point 2). The helmsman then used the rudder, as needed, to maintain that heading.
At 1613:38, the helmsman applied 5° of port rudder and then went back to midships. A few seconds later, he checked the rudder indicator and saw that the rudder had remained at 5° to port (Figure 2, point 3). He gave a series of starboard rudder movements in quick succession, however the rudder remained at 5° to port and he then informed the ship's bridge team of the problem.
At about 1614, the OOW took the helm from the helmsman. He changed to the non follow-up (NFU) mode[5] and made a series of starboard rudder movements. Again, the rudder did not respond and remained at 5° to port.

By 1614:10, the pilot became aware that there was a problem with the steering gear and ordered 'hard to starboard'. He then asked the master about changing the steering system to NFU mode. In response to the pilot's order, the OOW put the NFU lever to starboard again. A few seconds later, the pilot then asked the master to change over the steering pumps.
At 1614:35, the pilot ordered 'stop engine', which was acknowledged by the ship's bridge team and 7 seconds later the engine telegraph was moved to stop.
At 1614:52, the pilot asked for 'full astern'.
By 1615:03, the master had changed the main steering pumps from number one to number two as requested by the pilot and the OOW had changed the steering (telemotor) system[6] from number one to number two. The rudder then started to respond to the NFU starboard demand. A few seconds later the pilot observed that the rudder was moving to starboard (Figure 2, point 4).
By 1615:14, the pilot again ordered 'full astern' and 10 seconds later the ship's engine was full astern.
At 1615:32, the pilot made VHF radio contact with the Port of Melbourne[7] and advised the duty Lonsdale vessel traffic service officer (VTSO) that Bow Singapore was about to run aground.
Shortly after, at 1615:58, the pilot observed that the rudder was now hard to starboard and the ship had slowed to 10 knots and he ordered 'stop engine'. He then considered the options that may prevent the ship from running aground.
At 1616:07, the main engine had stopped and shortly after the ship's bridge team mentioned the rudder was still hard to starboard. The pilot then ordered 'slow ahead' to increase the water flow over the rudder and assist the manoeuvre away from the shallow water.
However, by 1616:38, the ship had slowed considerably and in the limited time available, going slow ahead on the main engine had little effect. About 6 seconds later, the pilot ordered 'stop engine' and then 'slow astern'. He then informed the master the ship had run aground and asked for the ship's crewmembers to stand by the anchors.
At 1617:22, the pilot contacted Lonsdale VTS and reported the ship had grounded on the sandbank (Figure 2, point 5).
Over the next 7 minutes the pilot attempted to manoeuvre the ship off the sandbank by increasing astern power and using the bow thruster. Although the ship did move, the pilot's efforts to re-float the ship were ultimately unsuccessful.
The crew then started taking soundings of empty ballast tanks, the full cargo tanks and the water depth around the ship. No ingress or egress was found and the ship's crewmembers continued to monitor until the ship was re-floated.
On 20 August at 0040, with the assistance of a tug and the rising tide, Bow Singapore was re‑floated. It then proceeded to the anchorage off the Port of Geelong. Subsequent underwater hull inspections/survey did not indicate any damage to the ship.
All times referred to in this report are local time, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) + 10 hours.
Conduct of the ship's passage determines the outcome by controlling (con) how the outcome is achieved.
All ship's headings in this report are in degrees by gyro compass with negligible error.
One knot, or one nautical mile per hour equals 1.852 kilometres per hour.
In non follow-up (NFU) mode, the movement of rudder to port or starboard is controlled through the use of a lever. The lever is released when the rudder has reached the required angle.
The telemotor comprises a transmitter on the bridge and a receiver connected to a variable delivery pump through the hunting gear.
The Port of Melbourne operates a 24 hour Vessel Traffic Service (VTS), which is divided into two sectors: Lonsdale VTS (LVTS) for traffic south of 38°05'S and Melbourne VTS (MVTS) for traffic north of 38°05'S.
Safety analysis
Bow Singapore was fitted with a Kawasaki Precision Machinery RV21-022 steering gear (Figure 3). It was a two (simplex) ram Rapson slide system with two identical hydraulic systems. Each system included a hydraulic pump, directional control (shuttle) valve and electrical control systems.
Figure 3: Bow Singapore's steering gear
The rudder was moved by the hydraulic shuttle valve directing high pressure oil from the pump to one of the two rams. The valve consisted of a spring-centred shuttle operated by two opposing solenoids. When electrical power[8] was applied to a solenoid, it moved the shuttle directing the flow of oil to a ram and the rudder moved. When the signal was removed, the valve's internal springs returned the shuttle to a neutral position and the rudder stopped moving.
Manual (emergency) operation can be performed locally by inserting a pin (Figure 4, blue arrow) into the back of the required solenoid and pushing the shuttle valve across (red arrow – rudder to port, green arrow – rudder to starboard).
Figure 4: Steering system one solenoid valve arrangement
The solenoid's electrical connection consisted of two hard-mounted pins that protrude from the mounting face of the solenoid. They made contact with spring-loaded receivers when the solenoid was mounted on the body of the shuttle valve.
Prior to departure from the last port, both steering gear systems were tested from the bridge and the steering gear room, as part of the normal departure routines. No faults were recorded. The ship departed on steering system number one, as was the normal practice, and operated without fault for the voyage to Port Phillip.
While the ship was aground in Port Phillip, the steering gear was inspected and tested by the ship's engineers and an electrician. They first confirmed that the telemotor signal had reached the number one starboard solenoid.[9] However, the solenoid did not respond to the starboard telemotor signals. Next, the port and starboard solenoids were manually operated and the rudder responded in both directions. The telemotor test was repeated and the rudder, again, did not respond to starboard telemotor signals.
The manual testing showed that the solenoid, shuttle valve and pump were operating as expected. Therefore, the fault was unlikely to be mechanical and more likely to be an electrical fault associated with the starboard solenoid. The engineers then changed the solenoid and the steering gear resumed normal operation.
When the solenoid that had been replaced was bench tested on board Bow Singapore it operated as designed. The solenoid was further tested in the ATSB laboratory and it also worked as designed and the coil's current flow and resistance were as per the specification. It was then disassembled and visually inspected and no abnormal conditions were evident.
As no fault could be found with the solenoid, the ATSB identified two other possible reasons for the failure:
An intermittent fault. Although an intermittent fault is possible, it is unlikely as this condition has not reoccurred and there is no history of this fault having previously occurred.
A high-resistance contact. The solenoid's electrical pins were clean and showed no signs of mechanical damage. There was also no sign of arcing and/or heat discoloration that can sometimes be found with a poor electrical connection. However, this does not rule out the possibility of a high-resistance (dry) joint having developed. As the steering gear returned to normal operation, after fitting another solenoid, it is possible that if there was a poor connection, it was restored during the solenoid changeover.
Further inspection of the steering gear in Singapore, by the manufacturer's representative, also found nothing to explain why the steering gear had stopped responding.
In summary, from the evidence provided by the ship, the manufacturer's representative and the ATSB laboratory, no mechanical or electrical fault could be found to establish why the steering gear failed to respond to starboard telemotor signals.
The International Safety Management (ISM) Code[10] requirements are mandatory for Bow Singapore and its management company to comply with. Part A (Implementation), Section 8.1 (Emergency preparedness) states:
The Company should identify potential emergency shipboard situations, and establish procedures to respond to them.
Therefore, a procedure should contain all steps, in a logical order, so the operators can respond to a problem expediently and enable the best possible outcome.
However, the management company's (Odfjell Management) procedure for 'steering gear failure' stated:
Inform the Master and Engineer on duty
Engage the emergency steering
Call up an additional look-out if necessary
Reduce speed or stop engines, if necessary
Hence, an immediate change in operation from the bridge to local emergency operation from the steering gear room. The procedure did not include steps to be taken on the bridge, such as the use of the NFU mode or changing over pumps and/or telemotors.
However, the crewmembers had made an on board procedure stating the above (Figure 5) and affixed it to the bridge steering console. The ship's bridge team followed the steps in the on board procedure after the helmsman reported the issue with the steering gear.
Figure 5: Bridge steering console emergency procedure for steering gear failure
Therefore, there was an inconsistency between the company-controlled documented procedure and the procedure affixed to the steering console. The company procedure would have resolved a loss of steering control from the bridge but required local operation to work. However, during pilotage in restricted waters, there is a limited time available to respond. Hence, the time required for crewmembers to proceed to the steering gear room and operate locally would not be the most expedient way to respond to a steering failure.
Equipment knowledge
Guidance regarding equipment knowledge is contained in Section 3.2, Regulation 26, Chapter V, SOLAS[11] (Safety of Navigation), which specifically states:
All ships' officers concerned with the operation and/or maintenance of steering gear shall be familiar with the operation of the steering systems fitted on the ship and with procedures for changing from one system to another.
The ship's bridge team initially responded to the steering failure by changing over to NFU mode. When the rudder did not respond, they changed over from steering pump number one to two and steering (telemotor) system number one to two, the reverse order of the procedure affixed to the steering console (Figure 5).
Their actions of changing both the pump and telemotor over to the other system was due to their understanding that cross operation of systems one and two was not possible (for example, number one telemotor could not control number two steering system), however, it was. Notwithstanding, the actions of the ship's bridge team were appropriate, timely and in excess of what had been documented in the company's emergency procedure.
As stated in the SOLAS requirements, the management company's procedures need to document how to change over from one system to another and that the crew are adequately trained to ensure system knowledge is accurate. However, the company's emergency procedure did not provide these directions and in lieu of this the ship's crew had made their own ship-specific procedure.
Maintenance procedures
The ISM Code, Part A (Implementation), Section 10.3 (Maintenance of the ship and equipment) states:
The Company should identify equipment and technical systems the sudden operational failure of which may result in hazardous situations. The SMS should provide for specific measures aimed at promoting the reliability of such equipment or systems.
The management company's planned maintenance system (PMS) schedule contained monthly and three-monthly checks for the steering gear. It required the crewmembers to test the alarms, check for leaks and to check the auto start of the standby pump in case of any alarm. Prior to each dry-docking (twice in a 5 year period), Odfjell Management had the steering gear inspected by the manufacturer's representative. A repair specification was then compiled based on the results of the inspection report.
The PMS also required checks of the steering gear's hydraulic oil, which were sampled three times a year, and sent ashore for analysis.[12] Although oil analysis is a useful tool, it has limitations. It cannot identify all age and wear related problems, such as the hardening/flattening of O-rings, a change in a spring's characteristics or leakage past a valve.
Similarly, electrical systems would benefit from planned maintenance inspections, such as electrical insulation testing, checking terminations for tightness and checking that relays and timers are properly seated in their bases.
Further, the PMS schedule for the steering gear did not include the manufacturer's recommendations for a monthly check[13] of the solenoid valves. In addition, detailed inspections or scheduled parts replacement were not included. Therefore, the continued safe operation of the steering gear was reliant, for the most part, on breakdown maintenance when components failed.
Planned maintenance systems that include regular and thorough maintenance and visual inspections, as well as operational tests, better reduce the risk of machinery failure than operational tests alone. This is particularly important for systems that are critical to the safe operation of the ship.
Equipment labelling and visual cues
Each hydraulic system had two solenoids that moved a shuttle valve which directed the flow of oil to a ram which moved the rudder. Manual (emergency) operation of the solenoids required a pin to be inserted into the back of the required solenoid to push the shuttle valve across. That action would then move the rudder in that direction.
System number one's solenoids were each painted and stencilled for identification. The port solenoid had a 'P' stencilled on it and likewise the starboard solenoid had an 'S'. However, the dominant information was the colour that they had been painted. The solenoid bodies were painted a colour that was opposite to the direction the rudder would move. The red solenoid was painted green (starboard) but when operated moved the rudder to port. Likewise, the green solenoid was painted red (port) but when operated moved the rudder to starboard.
Therefore, this could create confusion when crewmembers operating the solenoids locally receive a rudder order from the bridge. For example, receiving an order for port 5 could be interpreted as either operating the port solenoid or the red starboard solenoid. Although the colouring of the solenoids did not contribute to this occurrence, in an emergency situation, the risk of a helm order being incorrectly applied would increase. The added complexity of steering a ship from the steering gear room and the likelihood of an error occurring would be further increased due to the colouring found on the solenoids.
Similar past incidents
Flag States with the responsibility to investigate safety occurrences have investigated similar incidents regarding steering gear failures and the crew's limited understanding of steering gear systems and shipboard maintenance procedures.
Flag Gangos
On 12 August 2014, the outbound bulk carrier Flag Gangos collided with the berthed oil tanker Pamisos on the Mississippi River at Gretna, Louisiana. The Flag Gangos subsequently collided with a pier at the facility where the Pamisos was berthed, and the pier struck and damaged a fuel barge, berthed behind the Pamisos.
The US National Transportation Safety Board (NSTB) investigated the collision. Its final investigation report (NTSB/MAB-15/25, accident number DCA14FM015), stated that the 'probable cause' was a delay in completing a mandatory upgrade to the vessel's steering system and a 'failure to routinely test the steering gear's hydraulic fluid for debris as required by the manufacturer'.
Halit Bey
On 22 April 2014, the chemical and products tanker Halit Bey was proceeding up the St. Lawrence River, under the conduct of a pilot, when steering control was lost. The vessel veered to port and exited the navigational channel, running aground on the south side of the river off Grondines, Quebec. The vessel was later re-floated with the assistance of two tugs.
The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada investigated the grounding (report M14C0045). The findings with potential relevance to the current investigation included:
The bridge crew was not adequately familiarized with the characteristics of the Halit Bey's steering control system and did not know how to regain steering control after the autopilot override alarm activated.
After steering control was lost, the vessel veered to port, towards the shore.
The crew's attempt to reduce speed and anchor the vessel were unsuccessful, in the limited time available, to prevent the vessel from exiting the navigational channel and running aground.
If crew members are not familiarized with all aspects of the operation of safety critical equipment, such as a vessel's steering control system, there is a risk that they will not have the knowledge required to operate the system proficiently or regain control in the event that it is lost.
Orsula
On 15 December 2011, the bulk carrier Orsula departed Contrecœur, Quebec, in ballast for Baie‑Comeau, Quebec. While proceeding down the St. Lawrence River under the conduct of a pilot, the vessel lost steering control and ran aground at 1329 on the Battures de Gentilly, 1.25 miles northeast of Bécancour wharf, Quebec. About 48 hours later, it was re-floated on the first attempt using tugs.
The Canadian TSB investigated the grounding (report M11L0160). The findings with potential relevance to the current investigation included:
Steering control was lost when the port steering system potentiometer failed while the rudder angle was at 10º to starboard, causing the vessel to veer to starboard and leave the dredged channel.
The bridge crew members were not familiar with the use of the non-follow-up mode or with switching the steering system selector switch from port to starboard to regain steering control.
The master switched the steering system selector switch from port to starboard, which restored steering control, but it was too late to prevent the vessel from running aground.
On 22 October 1996, the oil tanker Arcadia was under the conduct of a pilot inbound for a refinery at Anacortes, Washington. The loss of steering occurred due to a loose electrical connection on the steering gear's number one hydraulic control solenoid. The connection was overlooked during a regular maintenance check.
The Washington State Department of Ecology published an investigation report (publication # 98-253). The lessons learnt and recommendations with potential relevance to the current investigation included:
Steering gear is a critical vessel safety system. As such, steering gear systems must be properly maintained. However tedious, inspections of the electrical connections of the system must be part of the maintenance program. The maintenance program should be structured to minimize the opportunity for human errors.
Ensure that steering gear is properly maintained under a comprehensive planned maintenance program that minimizes the likelihood of human error and conforms with the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention (ISM Code), especially Section 10. All electrical connections should be regularly checked for integrity as part of such a steering gear maintenance program.
The telemotor's electrical signal is generated by moving the wheel or NFU lever on the bridge.
The telemotor signal was confirmed by using a non-contact test pen. The test pen will indicate that voltage is present but does not differentiate between circuits in which there is or isn't current flow.
The International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for Pollution Prevention ISM Code adopted by the International Maritime Organization's Resolution A.741 (18) as amended.
The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended.
The most recent oil samples (17 June) for both steering gear systems showed that the oil's viscosity was as expected, the contaminant levels were low and that they had not risen from those in the previous four sample results.
Monthly check that the solenoid valve is correctly operated from the steering console on the bridge.
From the evidence available, the following findings are made regarding the grounding of Bow Singapore, under pilotage, in Port Philip on 19 August 2016. These findings should not be read as apportioning blame or liability to any particular organisation or individual.
Safety issues, or system problems, are highlighted in bold to emphasise their importance. A safety issue is an event or condition that increases safety risk and (a) can reasonably be regarded as having the potential to adversely affect the safety of future operations, and (b) is a characteristic of an organisation or a system, rather than a characteristic of a specific individual, or characteristic of an operating environment at a specific point in time.
Contributing factors
Bow Singapore's steering gear stopped responding to helm inputs and the rudder remained at 5° to port. This initiated an uncontrolled turn towards the edge of the channel and shallow water.
Other factors that increased risk
The number one steering system telemotor solenoid stopped responding to helm inputs. However, when examined and tested, the solenoid functioned as designed and no faults were found.
Bow Singapore's planned maintenance system for the steering gear did not include or contain any schedules for any detailed inspections or parts replacement. [Safety issue]
The hydraulic system solenoids were painted red or green to match the side of the ship that each were mounted on, but that was opposite to the direction the rudder would move.
The actions of the bridge team were both timely and appropriate as well as being in excess of the requirements of the procedure that was in place at the time of the incident.
Safety issues and actions
The safety issue identified during this investigation is listed in the Findings and Safety issues and actions sections of this report. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) expects that all safety issues identified by the investigation should be addressed by the relevant organisation(s). In addressing those issues, the ATSB prefers to encourage relevant organisation(s) to proactively initiate safety action, rather than to issue formal safety recommendations or safety advisory notices.

Elizabeth Glover was admitted to the St. Andrew Undershaft Workhouse on July 17th, 1733. She was referred to only to as a poor, black child. Eliza, as she was often called, was likely an orphan or an illegitimate child, whose guardian was her grandmother, also named Elizabeth Glover. Eliza might have been admitted to St. Andrew when she was orphaned; there was often no other place for poor orphans or illegitimate children to go, and as a black child, her options might have been more limited. She may have instead lived with her grandmother for some time. As an elderly woman, and possibly a widow, it would have been difficult for Eliza's grandmother to provide for both herself and Eliza. Regardless of how she found her way there, Eliza was one of the first paupers admitted into St. Andrew Undershaft. Space in the workhouse was initially in high demand, and she might have been lucky to secure her spot.
Just as Eliza was settling in to her new home, the Board of Directors of the Workhouse began to prepare her to work her way out of poverty. On November 23rd, 1733, 4 months after she was admitted to the workhouse, she was to "bee put to School." Her schooling, like every other aspect of Eliza's was likely contained in the Workhouse. This was similar to other English early modern institutions and was meant to totally immerse the paupers in the Workhouse, with the eventual goal of teaching them the ethics of hard work, and maybe a skill, so they could work their way out of poverty. It was also to be determined "whether she have been baptized." England in this period was dominated by the Church of England. The welfare system, administered primarily through Workhouses, was inspired by protestant values and deeply grounded in religious thought. It was important that Eliza be baptized to live in this institution, and so that she could be a respectable member of English society.
For Eliza, work opportunities came with relative frequency. Despite every disadvantage of being an impoverished black child in an almost entirely white society, Eliza Glover was offered multiple apprenticeships during her time in the workhouse. She was offered her first apprenticeship in October of 1736 to a framework knitter named Susanna Bailey. She was again offered an apprenticeship to William Rolls, a weaver from "Butler Alley on Windmill Hill near Moorfield." We could infer that she was therefore very hard working and obedient in the workhouse, and earned these offers despite the racial discrimination she may have experienced.
