Q: Why does Gawk in compatibility mode split records in the same way as when GNU extensions are enabled? I'm not sure if I found a bug in Gawk or if I'm misreading / missing something in gawk's man page.
According to gawk's man page, when in compatibility mode, if RS contains multiple characters, only the first character is treated as the input record separator:

Records
  Normally, records are separated by newline characters.  You can control how records are separated by assigning values to the built-in  variable  RS.   If RS is any single character, that character separates records.  Otherwise, RS is a regular expression.  Text in the input that
  matches this regular expression separates the record.  However, in compatibility mode, only the first character of its string value is  used
  for separating records.  If RS is set to the null string, then records are separated by blank lines.  When RS is set to the null string, the
  newline character always acts as a field separator, in addition to whatever value FS may have.

So, when running gawk -P -- '1' RS="bar" <<<'foobarfoo', I would expect the following result (notice that -P turns on compatibility mode, per gawk's man page):
foo
arfoo

However, if I run it:
% gawk -P -- '1' RS="bar" <<<'foobarfoo'
foo
foo

And the same happens even when turning on compatibility mode explicitly:
% gawk -c '1' RS="bar" <<<'foobarfoo'
foo
foo

So apparently when in compatibility mode Gawk actually splits records in the same way as when GNU extensions are enabled. What am I missing?
This is on Linux (Ubuntu 16.04 64-bit, Gawk version: GNU Awk 4.1.3, API: 1.1 (GNU MPFR 3.1.4, GNU MP 6.1.0)).

A: Since the documentation is fairly explicit, I would simply file a bug report.
Comparing with BWK (one-true-awk or original-awk), it behaves as the documentation implies.  If gawk's developer had some other reference implementation in mind for this detail, it should be documented.
Testing gawk's -c (compatibility mode), it treats RS as described in the question, i.e., differing from the documentation.

At Pet Medical Center of Westerville we offer a full range of radiology services. These services are valuable resources in helping us make important decisions about your pet's care.
The most common of these radiology services are x-rays, also referred to as radiographs. They are used to evaluate structures such as bones, lungs, heart, and abdominal organs. The x-ray process usually takes 20-30 minutes.
For safety reasons, owners are not allowed to be in the radiology room while x-rays are being taken.
Occasionally some pets need to be sedated to allow us to properly position them for their x-ray films. If a pet needs sedation, we generally recommend leaving the pet with us for the day.
Once the x-rays are completed, our doctors will evaluate the images and go over the results with you. In addition, we have a board certified veterinary radiologist who reviews the x-rays we take to make sure we have obtained all the information we possibly can from your pet's x-rays.
As part of our radiology services we also offer ultrasound.
Ultrasound imaging, or sonography, is a method of obtaining images from inside the pet through the use of high-frequency sound waves.
It is a wonderful tool that allows us to visualize the architecture of a pet's abdominal organs in order to evaluate for masses, inflammation, stones, or other changes.
We can easily determine if there is abnormal fluid in the abdomen, chest cavity or around the heart. Also, we can evaluate the size and function of the heart.
Ultrasound is a non-painful procedure and rarely, if ever, do pets need to be sedated. Generally pets should be fasted of food for 8 hours prior to their ultrasound. For abdominal ultrasound most pets will need to have their bellies shaved for the procedure.
All of our ultrasounds are evalutated by a board certified veterinary radiologist.

Patents Court rejects claim for Arrow Declaration
This briefing note is only intended as a general statement of the law and no action should be taken in reliance on it without specific legal advice.
Recent years have seen the Courts considering whether to grant Arrow declarations to deal with particular instances of uncertainty caused by patentee prosecution strategies. An Arrow declaration provides that a particular product intended to be launched by e.g., a generic or biosimilar manufacturer would have been obvious and/or lacked novelty in the light of the state of the art at a particular date, the priority date of a particular patent application. As a result, if that application does subsequently proceed to a granted patent, the party with the benefit of the Arrow declaration can rely on it as a defence to any claim for patent infringement.
The Court of Appeal confirmed the jurisdiction to grant Arrow declarations in Fujifilm v AbbVie. Because of the unusual circumstances in that case including AbbVie's conduct, and the need for commercial certainty, the Patents Court later decided it was appropriate to grant the declaration.
However, as an exercise of discretion, the decision to grant an Arrow declaration will very much depend upon the facts of the case, and the Court's assessment of whether it will serve a useful purpose. In the latest case, Pfizer v Roche, the Patents Court has rejected Pfizer's application for an Arrow declaration in relation to its proposed launch in Europe of a biosimilar monoclonal antibody drug (bevacizumab) for the treatment of various cancers in combination with other drugs. Roche markets a highly profitable bevacizumab product under the brand Avastin, and has a Supplementary Protection Certificate providing protection until June 2020.
Pfizer's plans to launch immediately after expiry of the SPC in June 2020 are, it argues, hindered by a "thicket of second-line patents and patent applications" (all relating to combinations of bevacizumab with other known cancer drugs for use treating various types of cancers), which are causing general uncertainty. Any of those current pending applications could lead to a granted patent on or after June 2020, and lead to potential interim injunction proceedings by Roche against Pfizer. Given the uncertainty, Pfizer has applied for a European marketing authorisation based on a skinny label instead of a full label i.e., only for certain indications. Any declaration granted would be binding in the UK, but would also have strong persuasive effect in other European Patent Convention states, in particular in this case, Belgium (Pfizer intends to supply the UK market from Belgium).
However, the Court rejected the application for one key reason. Roche has no relevant UK patent application and, a few weeks after Pfizer's court action began, it de-designated the UK from all relevant pending European Patent applications. By this step, it abandoned any prospect of obtaining a UK patent in the future. Pfizer argued that this was a "deliberate and transparent act of shielding" by Roche. Given the UK was a valuable market for bevacizumab (both now and in the future), Pfizer argued this was clearly intended to prolong the commercial uncertainty.
The Court concluded that the declarations sought would serve no useful purpose. This was despite the fact that it inferred that Roche's motive for de-designating the UK was to shield its portfolio from the risk of an adverse decision in the UK court, and it recognised an Arrow declaration would be of real commercial value for Pfizer. It also recognised that the true impact of such a declaration would be the spin-off value in foreign jurisdictions: "... the use of a UK patent judgment in other contracting states of the EPC can be very valuable and … it is legitimate for parties to rely on a judgment in that way". However "this cannot be taken too far and one needs to take into account the risk of forum shopping – where a declaration is sought from a UK court in a case with no connection to this jurisdiction".
Of course, here, when the action began there were pending UK applications but where the only or predominant purpose of the declaration sought is to use the court's judgment in foreign jurisdictions, the Court will look very carefully at the case. Here the Court was not persuaded that it was enough. Unlike the position in the Humira case, there was no outstanding uncertainty at all relating to bevacizumab and UK rights: "Pfizer does not need the Patents Court to tell it or anyone else that it can freely sell bevacizumab in this country without risk from the Roche patent families".
It is possible that Pfizer will seek to appeal, albeit this is an exercise of the Court's discretion. Interestingly, in May 2019, the District Court of the Hague confirmed in a landmark ruling in that jurisdiction parallel proceedings concerning bevacizumab that it has jurisdiction to grant Arrow declarations (which will now proceed to be determined).

Q: Can I use div as a direct child of UL? I'm having this code:

I feel no issue in my browser rendering it. I have read this too somewhere that li should only be used as direct child of ul.
Is this correct? Can't I use div as a direct child of UL? Is there any documentation for the above confusion?
Edit: This link says I can http://css-tricks.com/forums/discussion/11593/divs-inside-uls/p1

A: For HTML 5 :
http://www.w3.org/TR/html-markup/ul.html

Permitted contents
Zero or more li elements

For HTML 4 :
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/lists.html#h-10.2
<!ELEMENT UL - - (LI)+

EDIT :
I forget the other HTML5 :D (which have the same specification on this than the W3C's one)
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/grouping-content.html#the-ul-element

A: No. The only element that may be a child of
 is
.
HTML 4:
<!ELEMENT UL - - (LI)+                 -- unordered list -->

(See also how to read a content model definition in a DTD)
HTML 5:

Content model:
  Zero or more li elements.

A: you can use div tag under like this  ul-> li -> div because you can only use li tag after the ul tag ,your code will be run fine but there would be validation error
so you can use like this

A: No the div cannot be nested inside the  element, only
 can be used as child element. instead of wrapping div inside ul element. you can do something like this

item1

item2

item3

A: No. If you want valid markup a div should never be inside a , sorry.
Some modern browsers will "autoclose" the ul tag before you open the div so watch out for that

A: The HTML unordered list element
 represents an unordered list of items, namely a collection of items that do not have a numerical ordering, and their order in the list is meaningless. Typically, unordered-list items are displayed with a bullet, which can be of several forms, like a dot, a circle or a squared. The bullet style is not defined in the HTML description of the page, but in its associated CSS, using the list-style-type property.
Permitted content:
zero or more

On Friday, January 13th the third event in the lecture series Facing Forward: Art & Theory from a Future Perspective will take place, on the theme of FUTURE HISTORY. The speakers of this evening are art historians and critics David Summers (USA) and Amelia Jones (UK/USA). Following the two lectures, there will be a debate with experts and the public, moderated by Kathryn Brown, Professor of Art History at Tilburg University. Dutch curator en art critic Steven ten Thije (NL) will provide an introduction statement.
In contemporary art and theory, there is renewed interest in the concepts of history, archiving, and cultural memory. This is described by Dieter Roelstraete as the "historiographic turn," in which artists, exhibition makers, and critics adopt an archaeological modus operandi, meticulously examining the traces of the past. Does this obsession with history indicate an inability to look at the future? Should we and can we jettison the concept of "history" so that we can look at the future once again?
One question that presents itself is whether this sort of attempt to sideline history does not essentially imply a return to the postmodern thinking of Francis Fukuyama and Arthur C. Danto. At the end of the 20th century, they explained that we are living in a post-historic age. This is allegedly a time in which only contemporary matters and the future are important; in a sense, it's the end of the line in which history no longer exists. Is this conceptual model, an early version of Facing Forward, still relevant to our time, or can we focus on the future in a different way? In other words, how does Facing Forward 2.0 look in relation to the past?

Chronomics - Winner of the AXA Health Tech & You 2019 Innovation Category
Chronomics – Winner of AXA Health Tech & You 2019 Innovation Category
Innovators use epigenetics to track health and wellbeing
Being able to see information about your DNA is fast becoming the norm, with a number of kits out there allowing you to see insights into your health and ancestry. However, a group of innovators and scientists are on a mission to bring personalised insights into how the environment can impact DNA.
Epigenetics is simply the science of how these environmental factors can influence the control of our DNA, something that company Chronomics wants to bring to consumers to help them to improve their health and wellbeing.
Chronomics, who recently won the AXA Health Tech & You Innovation in Health Tech category, tell us the inspiration behind their technology and how they think it can change the way we think about preventative healthcare.
The science of epigenetics
During their studies at the University of Cambridge, co-founders Dr Toby Call and Dr Tom Stubbs realised the potential for epigenetics in the way we develop preventative healthcare solutions. "We were originally working on the epigenetics of ageing, where epigenetics predicts your biological age," says Toby.
"We realised this methodology was extremely powerful for analysing DNA and how it changes over time – this enables repeatable testing, which shows up-to-date health risks." Epigenetic change is natural but it can be influenced by things such as exposure to pollution, what we eat, how much we exercise, and our sleep quality.
Repeatable and actionable testing
Chronomics is an at-home epigenetic testing kit, offering insights into a person's health by looking at their DNA. Epigenetics is simply the science of how the environment can influence the control of our DNA.
The individual sends a sample of their saliva to a team of scientists who extract and analyse the DNA. After 8-12 weeks they receive personalised epigenetic insights on a secure online account, revealing how the biggest risk factors for chronic lifestyle and environment-related diseases are impacting us.
"Following the analysis, Chronomics will connect you with health professionals who will guide you through making changes on your personalised health journey.
"What makes us different is that you can test again and see how your lifestyle changes have helped you to improve over time."
Being an AXA Health Tech & You Awards winner
When asked how they felt to be the winners of the AXA Health Tech & You Innovation in Health Tech category, Toby said: "Chronomics is over the moon to have won the Innovation in Health Tech Award, it felt like a real privilege to be recognised as part of the future of health tech.
"This affirms the mission we have set out to achieve, and gives due recognition to the importance of the field of epigenetics for healthcare. Forging productive partnerships with industry leaders in proactive health management is key to disseminating to a wider audience where it can begin improving people's lives as fast as possible."
Innovators are always searching for solutions to ever-growing challenges, and this category has been looking to identify this technology in its early stage, continuing to help people improve the health of themselves and their family.
Head judge Julie Bretland, CEO of Our Mobile Health said: "The fellow judges and I of the Innovation in Health Tech Category felt that Chronomics was outstanding in this category because of its bold and transformative approach to the future of health technology, with a credible and scientific foundation behind the innovation."

Callaway's distinctive new wedge has been created in collaboration with world-renowned coach Hank Haney.
Callaway have unveiled their brand new Sure Out wedge which they believe can help any golfer achieve 'ultimate greenside control'.
The new wedge, which was created in collaboration with coach Hank Haney, has been developed with rough and bunker play in mind.
The brand says that the new Sure Out sole enables the club to glide through grass or sand helping eliminate fat shots for a clean strike.
They also believe that the seventeen full-face grooves, a key feature of the new release, will promote fast, shot-stopping spin even on off-centre hits.
The new Sure Out wedge will be available in two lofts, 58° and 64°.

Uralvagonzavod received an order for 30 000 railroad cars
Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to buy them within three years at the expense of mobilization budget.
President Vladimir Putin instructed until 2019 to purchase 30,000 railway cars for their possible use in the transfer of troops in the event of a threat to the security of the state, said Russian Deputy Defense Minister Dmitry Bulgakov. As explained by the representative of the Ministry of Defense, the past exercises - command and staff, strategic, with the transfer of troops - showed that today there is not enough "at least 30,000 platforms for the transfer of troops in a strategic direction." The representative of RZD refused to comment, the Ministry of Transport did not respond to the request.
According to the former military official, the platforms, like other assets of the mobilization reserve, will not belong to the Ministry of Defense and their purchase will not be carried out through the budget of the military department. The military will only get the right, if necessary, to attract these cars for their transportation and in peacetime will be able to check their availability and serviceability. According to the interlocutor of Vedomosti, it is hardly possible to buy such a number of cars under the article "mobilization preparation", according to which the Russian budget allocates about 5 billion rubles a year.
The initiative of procurement of platforms does not come from the Ministry of Defense, says another source in the military department. The Office of Military Communications of the Ministry of Defense is only interested in the possibility of RZD to provide such a number of platforms, which allows to transport the planned number of cargoes of the established dimensions. According to the site of RZD, military and special rail transportation of goods by rolling stock (for wagon owners) is provided by attracting railway rolling stock to use the monopoly. The rate of universal platform provision since January 1, 2017 is 750 rubles. Per day excluding VAT.
According to Infoline Analytics, the universal platform fleet in Russia as of January 1, 2017 was 47,700 units with an average age of 29.2 years with a standard service life of 32 years. The largest owners of the park are FGC (8200 units), Freight One (5800) and branches of Russian Railways (23 200).
Due to the high cost of new platforms (from 1.8 million rubles without VAT) and a comparatively low level of profitability (800 rubles), the largest operators actively updated the fleet as part of the modernization process with the extension of service life, recalls the general director of Infoline Analytics Mikhail Burmistrov. The purchase of new platforms is now impractical, as modernization in enterprises can take up to 400 platforms per month (up to 5000 per year), and in the park of RZhD and its subsidiaries more than 6000 platforms, the expert continues. In the case of buying cars, the contract will be signed by Transmash, Engels ZMK, Altayvagon, Ruzkhimmash, Novozybkovsky MZ, he concludes.

Take a Pass on Pass-Through DBEs
By Metal Center News Staff on Jun 13, 2016
Service center executives should be wary of their exposure to civil and criminal penalties from the misuse of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises when selling to government contractors. Regulators are cracking down on pass-through DBEs, reports the National Association of Wholesaler-Distributors in Washington.
Wholesaler-distributors, including metals service centers, often supply products and materials to contractors for use on public procurement projects funded with government dollars. Under federal, state and local regulations, a certain portion of that government contract may need to be awarded or subcontracted by the general contractor to a DBE, a business majority owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals such as minorities and women. The U.S. Department of Transportation, for example, spends about $50 billion per year on construction projects, and about $5 billion goes to DBEs.
Recent criminal and civil enforcement actions have involved scenarios where contractors have asked distributors to supply product on a public procurement project through a designated DBE as a conduit, rather than have the distributor sell directly to the contractor. The contractor then claims credit for the DBE's "participation" in the project. For its role, the DBE receives a small fee for the use of its name and DBE certification. The Justice Department and other enforcement authorities have challenged these arrangements and charged the distributor and contractor with fraud because the designated DBE was a mere "pass-through" entity and did not perform any "commercially useful function."
Generally under federal regulations a DBE performs a commercially useful function when it is responsible for execution of the contract and is carrying out its contractual responsibilities by actually performing, managing and supervising the work involved—negotiating product price with the distributor, determining quality and quantity, placing orders, receiving, warehousing and delivering the products, paying the distributor and invoicing the contractor. A DBE that acts as a mere "front" and is actually an extraneous participant in the transaction through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of DBE participation does not qualify.
Criminal DBE fraud cases involving a pass-through DBE prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office have resulted in prison sentences for individuals involved ranging from three years of probation to seven years in prison. The federal government and private whistleblowers (who could be a competitor of the distributor or the DBE) may also seek substantial civil penalties in DBE fraud cases under the federal False Claims Act. Since 2011, the U.S. Department of Transportation has recovered more than $245 million in fines, restitution and forfeitures in these cases. A distributor who sells product through a pass-through DBE—even if the DBE is "certified"—is a potential target for enforcement actions. Penalties also may include debarment from future government contract work.
The Department of Transportation's Office of the Inspector General has issued the following "red flag" indicators of DBE fraud:
DBE owner lacking background, expertise or equipment to perform subcontract work.
Employees shuttling back and forth between contractor and DBE payrolls.
Business names on equipment and vehicles covered with paint or magnetic signs.
Orders and payment for necessary supplies made by individuals not employed by the DBE.
Contractor facilitated purchase of the DBE-owned business.
DBE owner never present at the job site.
Contractor always uses the same DBE.
Financial agreements between the contractor and the DBE.
Joint bank accounts.
And the absence of written contracts.
metals. This information was excerpted from a recent NAW legal advisory.
Government scrutiny of contractors using pass-through DBEs is on the increase and penalties are severe. Wholesaler-distributors must exercise thorough due diligence and oversight when asked to sell products and materials for a government funded project to, or through, a DBE. Remember, the fact that a company has achieved government certification as a DBE only confirms the entity's status. The DBE must also bring real value to the transaction. If a contractor-customer attempts to just insert a DBE into the deal for the appearance of compliance, a prudent distributor should take a pass.

Bringing up oooooold stuff! These aren't new shades from Baroness X, but they are new to me...and I figured that this was the best possible time of year to post my pictures! Plus...I get to use all my spooky fonts!
This spooky pile of cool leaning violet microglitters is filled with glittery hexes. There are large gold, medium aqua, small pink metallic hexes. This reminds me of my fortune teller costume from seventh grade, so it definitely evokes Halloween feelings for me. I used 3 super thin coats for the pictures below because I wanted full opacity, but I think one thin coat would make a great topper over a nice emerald cream. I used Seche Vite here, but this glitter dries shiny and smooth on its own.
This is a soft, ghoulish smoosh of pale teal micro glitters and miscellaneous hexes. I love the combo of neon pink and lime, and suspended in this smoky soft color...oh yes. There is a tasteful dusting of holo in here that is so diffuse I can't tell if its holo microglitter or pigment. Either way, it flashes and dances like a ghost at the corner of my vision. I used two normal coats + SV here, and it has a delightful squishy finish. This one would also make a great topper for a cool creamy shade.
see, theres one coat over black. It needs something more fun!
Do you have a favorite here? I don't think I could pick, but I have to say that I love Halloween...it brings out the best in pretty much everything!
Great swatches! They look awesome.
Ohh I love Deadly Dance! Those neon glitters just make it perfect!
Deadly Dance is definitely love! Such a beautiful combo.
Oohhh these look great! Beautiful swatches!
I'm usually not a huge fan of purples, but Graveyard Groove really has my attention. Beautiful!
Ohhh, Deadly Dance is so cool!!
Deadly Dance is fantastic! Love it!
Ohhh. I love both of these a lot!
I love the tiny, mini microglitters in Deadly Dance!
These are beautiful. I like the the larger glitters don't overpower the micro glitter.

Plugable's Simple, E...ssential Expansion Solution for USB-C MacBooks, Chromebooks, and More
Plugable's Simple, Essential Expansion Solution for USB-C MacBooks, Chromebooks, and More
Joshua Henry | May 03, 2016
Any system with just a single USB-C port needs a good expansion solution. Plugable's new USB-C hub with pass-through charging is among the first to support the just-released Apple Macbook (2016) along with other USB-C systems like the Macbook (2015), Chromebook Pixel 2, and more.
When Apple introduced the MacBook Retina in 2015, they pushed the envelope of USB-C's new features. USB-C can be the "do it all" port enabling charging, extra display connectivity, and USB device connectivity via a single, reversible connector. Apple took advantage of that to build in just a single USB-C port on the Macbook.
But of course having only a single port comes with a few trade-offs. Do you have to stop charging to use your existing USB devices? How can you connect multiple devices and multiple monitors?
Apple's solution is their Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. But at $76 and providing only a single USB-A port, it's not great when you aren't using an extra display or need more USB ports. For many users video output isn't necessary but having multiple USB ports available is critical.
Today we're proud to announce our USBC-HUB3P, the lightest, thinnest 3-port USB 3.0 hub available that can accept power from the MacBook's charger and pass that along to the MacBook while also providing 3 free USB-A ports. It works with both the latest 2016 USB-C Macbook models (using Intel 6th generation CPU) and the millions of existing 2015 USB-C Macbooks. With a beautiful and lightweight brushed aluminum shell, it's perfectly matched to your system. It's a simpler solution that costs less than half of the Apple adapter's price.
The USBC-HUB3P can also accept standard USB-IF Power Delivery (PD) signals from other USB-C chargers like that of the Google Chromebook [2] 2015. Other systems are compatible as well but may require the purchase of a 3rd party charger. In the case of the USB-C versions of the Dell XPS 13 and 15, they do not ship with their own USB-C chargers but they can charge from a USB PD charger like the Chromebook's which is available from Google's accessory store. For a full list of compatible systems visit the USBC-HUB3P product page.
While designing this hub we wanted to make sure that the hub complemented high end systems and that it was extremely portable. The final design ended with a sleek extruded aluminum chassis and an extremely compact size measuring at a mere 3 inches long by 1.5 inches wide and just over half an inch tall making it perfectly designed for travel or tossing in your bag between home and work.
It works great, provides a safe charging solution, and we're really excited to be launching with immediate availability in the USA via Amazon.com. Europe, Canada, and Japan availability will follow shortly in the coming week.
Any questions at all? We're happy to help, please just comment below or email support@plugable.com. Thanks for going out of your way for Plugable products!

Remaking the Port of Olympia for the 21st Century
Helen Wheatley on July 2, 2017
"A Port is something Olympia doesn't know she has," the Chamber of Commerce told Thurston County voters nearly a century ago. When the people of Thurston County created the public Port of Olympia in 1922, the area was riding high on the great western timber boom. A Port District could dredge a channel for ocean-going vessels, build land for industrial sites and "facilities for better markets, industrially and agriculturally." Instead of using the harbor as a log yard, more mills could turn raw logs into lumber, adding economic value and creating jobs.
Plus, with a Port District, Olympia won the agreement of the US Army to dredge the approach channel. An army of lobbyist had been unable to wring this concession from the engineers and Congress when they had pushed for federal dredging before World War I. Now in the boom years, 25 billion board feet of timber beckoned, along with sand and gravel for the explosion of building that lay ahead.
Broader local benefit. The Port gained county-wide acceptance once the case was made that the Port could benefit the whole county and not just the timber trade. Many believed that the South Sound was positioned to become a major center of fruit, berry and nursery production, just as it had become famous for canning oysters, and it was seeing huge growth in dairy and poultry. From the start, the Port was supposed to provide warehousing and other facilities to support local agriculture.
Struggling to refine its mission. The following years saw many changes, from the Great Depression to high-tech mills, to oil tanks and a sewer plant. The Port picked up an airport along the way. By the 1960s, the Port no longer served as a log-fueled industrial hub. The industrial promise of earlier days gave way to brown fields and marinas. The Port still faces costs in the range of $100 million or more for cleaning up old sites even after years of work on polluted areas such as the Cascade Pole Superfund site.
When the marine terminal of the Port was built, I-5 did not exist. Breakbulk cargo was the norm. Industry had not migrated to Asia. Irrigation had not yet transformed Eastern Washington into an unbeatable paradise for industrialized agriculture. Yet even then, the Port was in stiff competition with similar ports like Grays Harbor.
Local boosters spent years touting the idea of constructing a canal that would carry ship traffic through the Sound in a clockwise circle, connecting back to the Pacific via a system linking Olympia to the Chehalis River. This was part of a recurrent pattern of looking to the federal or state governments to subsidize the local economy. Olympia didn't get a canal, and its role as the seat of state government quickly became the most important aspect of Thurston's economy.
The export trap. It is a good thing the Port's maritime ambitions did not become the focal point of the local economy. In January of 2017, the Washington Public Ports Association (WPPA) published a draft of its periodic Marine Cargo Forecast. The report shows that the shipping industry is now utterly dependent on the rise and fall of Asia, which accounts for over 90% of Washington's container imports and exports. If Thurston County had placed its bets on timber over state government, the results could have been disastrous.
Olympia still exports logs—as it always has. Yet the economy and environment of Thurston County have changed profoundly. The scale of Northwest logging remains huge, but there will not be another great timber boom. State log exports have leveled off, and will either decline very slightly, or grow regionally by 2.2% at best over the coming two decades according to the WPPA study. Compare this to the rise of Washington auto exports, largely to China: 23% growth between 2000 ad 2015, with projected future growth of at least 5%.
Now the main and most reliable tenant at the Port of Olympia, Weyerhaeuser, tells its investors it has faith over the short term that demand from key overseas customers, Japan and China, will continue steady for a while. Yet there are no assurances that Weyerhaeuser will keep drawing so heavily from Washington forests to supply its customers. How much longer can this global company continue to cut at its current furious pace in the forest lands of Washington?
Race to the bottom. Weyerhaeuser chooses to ship out of Olympia for now because of the very favorable deal it made to lease Port property. The Port must shave its margins very thin, to the point of losing money, in order to secure customers. For instance, while Port officials have been eager to see an end to a contract involving highly visible and controversial ceramic fracking proppants, it got stuck with storing the material—for no additional charge —when the market dried up. The Port moves much of its cargo on a single rate per ton—a little over $20 per ton for the proppants. It does not protect itself with such niceties as specifying a date by which the material must leave the Port.
At a recent information session convened by Commissioner E J Zita, outgoing Port Finance Director Jeff Smith explained the Port's race to the bottom this way: "The Port is competing with every other port to get breakbulk cargo so that we can help pay for the marine terminal. Some people compare it to a utility, but we're not a utility, because a utility has a group of rate-payers that can't move and they can't change. This is not a monopoly. Our customers can go anywhere where the prices are cheapest."
It won't get better. According to the WPPA, breakbulk cargo volumes of all sorts "will grow slowly due to containerization and structural changes in the industries that produce these cargoes." Even in the very best case scenario, breakbulk imports will only grow by 2.4% per year throughout the whole Pacific Northwest.
In this world of growing competition and shrinking demand, the Port has landed some strange cargoes besides the unpopular fracking proppants: cattle exported for massive industrial dairies in Vietnam; gold ore imported from North Ireland over the objections of local residents who fear the despoiling of Irish farmlands and wilderness to little local benefit; and corn imported from Europe for "organic" dairy cow feedlots—contrary to the hopes of Thurston County farmers who had voted for a public port to export our agricultural goods to the world, not the other way around.
The critical challenge for Washington ports, besides surviving competition with Southern California and British Columbia, is to improve the railway and highway systems that choke off the flow of goods to and from terminals. Compared to mega-Ports Tacoma or Seattle, Olympia seems far from the front of the line to receive the benefits.
The fate of the marine terminal poses a tough challenge for its three Port Commissioners. So far, the Port has not taken a realistic approach to addressing the long and inevitable decline of the marine terminal in the face of profound structural changes to the industry.
How well does the Port serve the local economy? That is not a simple question, and the Port has not tried to find out. In 2014 the Port of Olympia commissioned an "Economic Benefit Study" by a firm that specializes in "impact analysis." The contractor, Martin Associates, was careful to state that "the impacts measured in this study are the current jobs, income and taxes generated" by Port tenants and commercial cargo activity. But they added, these were "not necessarily net economic impacts in the sense that if the Port were to disappear, these jobs would be lost from the economy." Not only does the study fail to consider the relative economic good the Port provides compared to other possible uses, but it does not even weight the benefits against costs. That is not the kind of "impact" modelling that Martin sold to the Port.
Even so, the results did not come out well. According to the Port overview of the study, 643 direct jobs were lost between 2009 and 2014 (the latest year for which figures are given). The comparative loss of annual business revenue was over $774 million, with similar relative losses in taxes and local purchases. One of the government jobs lost in 2017 is that of Finance Director. Despite the desperate need for good economic analysis and management in these troubled times for the Port, two commissioners—Downing and McGregor—preferred to outsource that job to a contractor.
The Benefit Study claims that there were 2400 direct jobs created by Port activity in 2014, mostly generated by port tenants. Full time Port staff numbered 44 in 2009; and the peak year of 2013 saw the equivalent of 32 full time longshore jobs — double the number for 2012. For comparison, there were 108,500 jobs in Thurston County at that time, and a third of them were in government.
The future direction of the county economy. According to the Washington State Employment Security Department, recent growth areas for taxable sales in terms of dollar value for Thurston County have been in auto dealers, accommodation and food services (with particularly rapid growth in specialty food and beverage stores), specialty trade contractors (professional, scientific and technical service) and e-commerce.
The Port is moving toward the retail and rental sectors, following the lead of the Washington Public Ports Association in promoting tourism. Yet the retail sector is among the worst-paying for the County. Simply bringing in people to buy things, or to rent space, does not foster the kinds of jobs that truly benefit the community. In terms of providing a living family wage to the average Thurston County resident, government jobs still lead the way.
Stuck in the extraction economy? Over the years the Port has struggled to reinvent itself, yet it has also stood by its old mission of delivering the bounty of our forests to the world. In the 1920s many hoped that raw logs would give way to modern timber-based industries on the Port Peninsula; jobs that would provide steady work and lift family incomes. That dream sprouted and died quickly, leaving behind a polluted landscape and trapping the Port in a continuing downward spiral handling breakbulk cargo. This is a common fate in the world of globalized trade, but that doesn't make it any easier to live with.
Steering the Port into the new economy. People no longer hope or expect the Port to drive Thurston County economically, if indeed they ever did. Its main line of business, the Marine Terminal, shows no hope of improvement. Swantown Marina is not expected to do much more than break even, rendering it more of a cultural asset than an economic one. Yet the Port is still valued, and is gaining recognition for the role it plays in the life of the community.
At the direction of the Port's newest commissioner, EJ Zita, the Port has begun to study other ports to find better opportunities for the marine terminal; opportunities that might promise good wages while adding jobs through incubator hubs, food hubs and light industrial activities, among other options.
A century on, many of the things that make this place beloved, are touched by the Port: the Farmer's Market, Percival Landing, the Airport, and even the Weyerhaeuser forest lands. The Port may find a way to reshape its role for Thurston County once again, but only by looking at its own situation as honestly as possible and finding a way forward through sustained, serious and inclusive conversation with the whole community.

      "push_key_1" : {
        "user_id" : "user_1"
      },
      "push_key_2" : {
        "user_id" : "user_2"
      },
      "push_key_3" : {
        "user_id" : "user_1"

For example if where getting all "user_id" that equal "user_1" in the above code it should return push_key_1 and push_key_3.
All help will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

A: You can get it by using simple firebase query
Query query = FirebaseDatabase.getInstance().getReference().child("example_parent").orderByChild("user_id").equalTo("user_1");
        query.addListenerForSingleValueEvent(new ValueEventListener() {
            @Override
            public void onDataChange(DataSnapshot dataSnapshot) {

            }

            @Override
            public void onCancelled(DatabaseError databaseError) {

            }
        });

You can refer the blog if you want to go in depth. The blog is quite old but it would be worth a read.

So Fritz Westermann4 has gone to war, nothing so good ever happened! Perhaps that is what the war is for!
It was awfully nice of you to remember me with a commencement invitation and it was a great disappointment to me not to be able to see you graduate. I had always counted on being present at that festal time and seeing you dressed for the Senior Prom. and all the rest of it. But the horrors of war seem to be a good deal worse in newspaper offices than in the field and I had to stay on here5 grilling in the heat and writing headlines6 about Cervera7 being bottled up in Santiago harbor8. I expect to start west9 for a two month's vacation the first of August, however, and then I will see you and hear all about the commencement festivities.
Dorothy10 will be with me for a few days week after next. Her mother11 has been having serious trouble with her eyes—threatened with cataracts and a total loss of sight. I believe she don't want Lincoln3 people to know it though. Dorothy is now in Vermont12, where her grandfather13 died a few weeks ago. Poor child, she has been having a rocky summer of it.
I hear that all the old maids in Lincoln have been marrying off in cohorts, cant you find a widower or something for me when I am there this summer? Do try to manage it.
I spent the first two weeks of May in Washington14 where with my cousin Dr. Gore15, a Prof. in the Columbian University, who was sent by the government with the Wellman16 polar expedition17. He was giving farewell dinners to all his friends and going out a great deal and we had a gay time. I met no end of interesting people. The new Turkish charge d'affairs took me out to dinner one night and I have a score of funny things to tell you about him. Then we had the Norwegian ambassador out to dinner, and the secretary of the German legation, Count Alexander Finck von Finckenstein18, and Herr Otto Schenfeldt19, who was the tutor of Signor de Louie's20 sons and who is so pro-Spanish that his mail is under government survillience. My cousin married Lillian Thekla Brandthall21, a famous Christiana belle and daughter of a former ambassador from Norway22 to America23. O my child but she is glorious! l'etoile du Nord24 and no mistake. She is one of the hundred and one cousins of King Oscar of Sweden25, and can relate no end of interesting court experiences. It is all arranged that I am to go back to Norway with her some day—perhaps I may go to the Paris26 Exposition27 with them. But I must save all those charming Washington adventures to tell you by word of mouth. Howard will write me from Siberia28 before he takes the final plunge into the Polar sea29, which we all shudder to contemplate. If I had so lovely a wife as his, and one who could sing Grieg's30 songs as she can and read Ibsen31 like the very Tragic Muse32 herself, I would not go hunting the North Pole. But one is never satisfied it seems, when a man has the front of his coat covered with decorations from the various Majesties and so Royal Socities of the Contenant Continent, and has wedded a very Brunhilda33, then forsooth, he must want the Pole, having nothing else left to wish for.
Goodness how glad I will be to see you all again this summer! I can't seem to like any other place on earth so well. There is nothing I fear so much as that I may gradually drift out of your lives until I will be—O well, just like any other stranger. You won't let that happen, my dear, will you? I think nothing in life could quite make up that loss to me.
Cather was covering the build-up to the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, a naval battle that occurred on 3 July 1898 and contributed to the US victory over Spanish forces during the Spanish-American War.
The Webster County Argus reported that Cather was visiting her parents in Red Cloud on 12 August 1898.
Walter Wellman's 1898 polar expedition sailed from Tromso, Norway, to the archipelago of Franz Josef's Land on the Arctic Circle, via a stop in eastern Siberia to get dogs and sledges. The expedition was forced to turn back in 1899.

Ibsen wrote to Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson on 28 January 1865 of his appreciation of the statue Melpomene, the Muse of Tragedy.
Valkyrie in Germanic mythology who appears in, among other works, Richard Wagner's opera cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen.
Cervera y Topete, Pascual (1839-1909). Spanish admiral. Born in the province of Cadiz, Spain, Pascual Cervera y Topete entered the Spanish navy in 1852. His first voyage as a midshipman was to Havana, Cuba; he later served in the Spanish Philippines. Invited to be Spain's minister of the navy, he refused, preferring to be at sea. When the Spanish-American War broke out in 1898, Cervera was appointed commander of Spain's naval forces in Cuba, although privately he was convinced that Spain could not win. He was able to slip into Santiago de Cuba's harbor to defend it, but was blockaded; an attempted sortie proved disastrous and Cervera and many of his men were captured and interned in Annapolis, MD. Willa Cather followed these developments as telegraph editor of the Pittsburgh Leader.
Canfield, Eli Hawley (1817-1898). American minister; Dorothy Canfield Fisher's grandfather. Born in Arlington, VT, Eli Canfield left school at age seventeen to teach. He enrolled in the Alexandria (VA) Theological Seminary in 1841. Ordained in 1844, he served as an Episcopal minister in Ohio for five years. He married Martha Hulme of New Jersey in 1846; their son James Hulme Canfield was born in 1847. Eli Canfield then served churches in New York City and Brooklyn, NY, before retiring to serve as an interim minister for various congregations. He suffered a stroke in 1887 and became partially paralyzed in 1890. He died June 3, 1898. Willa Cather, a friend of the Canfield family, noted the effect of Eli Canfield's death on his granddaughter, her friend Dorothy Canfield.
Wellman, Walter (1858-1934). American journalist, Arctic explorer. Born in Ohio, Walter Wellman moved with his family to York County, NE, where at age fourteen he started a newspaper. In 1879 he moved back to Ohio, where he worked as a journalist; in 1884 he became a political correspondent for the Chicago Herald. Interested in the search for the North Pole, he mounted his first expedition in 1894. The National Geographical Society sponsored his second expedition in 1898, which succeeded in mapping some of Franz Josef Land on the Arctic Circle but did not get any nearer the Pole. In 1907 and 1909 his attempts to reach the North Pole by airship failed. Willa Cather's cousin, Dr. James Howard Gore, was involved with the 1898 Wellman expedition.
Finck von Finckenstein, Alexander (1857-1900). German count and diplomat. Born in Potsdam, Germany, of an old German noble family, Alexander Finck von Finckenstein was a son of Count Adolf Wilhelm Alexander Finck von Finckenstein and Marie von Bredow Finck von Finckenstein. He served as a secretary to the German embassy in Washington, DC, where Willa Cather met him in 1898. He died in Baltimore, MD.
Schenfeldt, Otto. Tutor. Willa Cather met a man named Otto Schenfeldt in Washington, DC, in 1898. She identified him as a tutor to the sons of Signore de Louie and as an ardent supporter of the Spanish cause (#0049).
Murat, Louis Napoleon (1851-1912) ("Signor De Louie"). French prince. Born in Paris, France, second son of Prince Lucien Murat and his wife Caroline-Georgina Fraser Murat, Prince Louis married a Ukrainian aristocrat, Eudoxie Milhailovna Somov, in 1873. They had three sons, Eugène, Oscar, and Michel.
Oscar II (1829-1907). King of Sweden and Norway. Born in Stockholm, Sweden, Oscar was a member of the House of Bernadotte through his father, the Crown Prince, and to the Napoleonic families of Europe through his grandmother, Josephine de Beauharnais, granddaughter of Napoleon's first wife. He was one of the few monarchs in Europe not closely connected to Queen Victoria and her family. Oscar, who succeeded to the throne in 1872, was an enlightened monarch who supported science and the arts. He was also interested in Arctic and polar explorations, supporting Fritdjof Nansen's expedition of 1893-96. In 1905, he acceded to the independence of Norway, of which he had been king.
Grieg, Edvard (1847-1907). Norwegian composer. Born in Bergen, Norway, Grieg began his musical studies with his mother; a family friend, famed violinist Ole Bull, recommended that he study in Leipzig. He made his debut as a pianist in 1861, and also began composing, making use of Norwegian folk music. One of his most famous compositions is the incidental music he composed for Henrik Ibsen's play Peer Gynt (1876). Grieg traveled widely and was internationally praised, but he maintained his home near Bergen, where he died. Cather mentioned Grieg's songs in her letters, and Thea Kronborg sings one in The Song of the Lark (1915).
Ibsen, Henrik (1828-1906). Norwegian dramatist. Ibsen is best known for his prose dramas treating social and political issues, such as A Doll's House (1879), Ghosts (1881), The Enemy of the People (1882), and Hedda Gabler (1890), which are widely credited with revolutionizing European drama. Cather's references to him in her journalism and letters are somewhat dismissive but make clear that she knew his works well. Her friend William Archer was an important translator of Ibsen into English and helped popularize him on the British stage. She owned Archer's co-translation with Edmund Gosse of The Master Builder (1892) and admitted to Zoe Akins that the play "was a little in the mood of the first part" of Lucy Gayheart (1935) (#1315).


Preheat the oven to 250°C. Dice the banana and dates, place them in a bowl. Add the coconut oil and maple syrup. Stir with a spoon. Mix the dry ingredients in another container (oats, buckwheat flour, baking powder, flaxseeds, cinnamon, nutmeg and sea salt). Combine all the ingredients until you get a compact, but soft, cookie dough. Make small cookies by using your hands. Place them on a tray covered with baking paper. Bake for 15-16 minutes, (keep in mind that they get harder when they cool).
I love to enjoy this cookies with a glass of cold nut milk and cinnamon, but a cup of tea is perfect if you are in the mood for something warm.

In what is a striking reminder to review wills that were made a long time ago, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice has ruled that a man born out of wedlock can be excluded from his grandmother's inheritance.
Jesse Sullivan, the Respondent, was born in 1988. His father, George, was one of two sons born to Jadwiga Koziarski. George died in 2013, while his mother, Jadwiga, died in 2016.
George married his wife in 1991, three years after his relationship with the Respondent's mother ended – he and the Respondent's mother were never married. George went on to have one other child with his wife. Jadwiga's other child, Henry – the Petitioner – had two children with his wife.
Following Jadwiga's death, the Petitioner argued that the Respondent was not entitled to a share of Jadwiga's estate.
Jadwiga was predeceased by her son, George. While George himself had spent little time with the Respondent once George married, there was evidence that Jadwiga and her husband had cared about the Respondent; they had set up an RESP for him.
Despite this apparent relationship, the Petitioner argued that there were strict legal definitions associated with terms such as "child" and "issue" at the time Jadwiga's will was drafted which precluded the Respondent.
Today, children born out of wedlock are afforded the same rights as children that are a product of a marriage. However, due to common law practice, children born out of wedlock were excluded from the definition of "child" and "issue" prior to March 31, 1978. It was at that time that the Succession Law Reform Act (SLRA) was passed, and explicitly stated that commonly used terms in estate law, such as "child" and "issue", would include any children born out of wedlock.
Jadwiga's will was signed in 1977, one year before the SLRA was passed. Had Jadwiga's will been written a mere four months later, there would have been no question around whether the Respondent was entitled to an inheritance.

CA News: Cowes Week & the Cruising Association launch inaugural Club Cruiser Trophy
Posted on July 29, 2021 by News Editor
Cowes Week and the Cruising Association launch the inaugural
Club Cruiser Trophy
Presented by the Cruising Association, the Club Cruiser Class is making its debut at Cowes Week in 2021, with racing from Saturday 31 July to Friday 6 August 2021.
Cowes Week is the jewel in the crown of the UK yacht racing calendar and kudos to all the teams competing for the inaugural Club Cruiser Class Trophy. With just over a day until racing kicks off on Saturday 31 July 2021, there are twenty-two teams entered in the all-new Club Cruiser Class and the stage is set to contest the challenging one race per day format.
The Club Cruiser Class features a diverse range of cruising yachts, who are switching from cruising to racing for Cowes Week. Racing on the renowned Solent waters, the Club Cruiser Class includes a Folkboat, Westerly Fulmar, Dehler 34, Dufour 38 and plenty of Bavaria and Beneteau Oceanis models amongst the eclectic line-up.
The forecast for the seven race series is predicted to be the typical mix of mid-Summer weather, throwing up everything from rain to sun to an all or nothing breeze. The Cruising Association wishes fair winds, great racing and lots of fun to all.
Lucy Gray, General Manager of the Cruising Association, commented, "The Cruising Association is delighted to welcome so many entries in the inaugural Club Cruiser Class and we know teams will enjoy the world renowned Solent race track and wonderful shore side hospitality that Cowes Week serves up. Cowes Week is one of the world's oldest and most esteemed sailing regattas, steeped in history and an event where you don't have to be a world beater to compete."
Gray continued, "Whether you are out there to win or just happy to be on the leader board, the Cruising Association wishes all teams in the Club Cruiser Class a fantastic experience and many happy memories."
The Cruising Association's motivation to become presenting sponsor of the Club Cruiser Class Trophy is to encourage and celebrate the many sailors who enjoy competitive racing, alongside cruising and exploring new waters and returning to old favourites.
Celebrating seven days of competition on the waters of the Solent, the shiny new Cruising Association Trophy will be presented to the winning team by Alison Hadley, Chair of the Cruising Association Council, at the Cowes Week prize giving on Friday 6 August. The winning team will also receive an engraved Cruising Association glass goblet and recognising their achievements all top three finishers will be presented with Cruising Association goodie bags.
You can follow all the action, live tracking and more via the Cowes Week multimedia platforms at https://www.cowesweek.co.uk.


First the good news. Broadway's "Finding Neverland" still going strong with Matthew Morrison, has snagged the great Terrence Mann to play Charles Frohman and Captain Hook. Terry starts on September 29th, succeeding Anthony Warlow, was who equally terrific in the role.
Mann is coming off a Tony nomination for "Pippin," also directed by Diane Paulus. His credits list is long and storied. Everyone loves him. And he's married to Charlotte d'Amboise. He and Matt Morrison will be a wonderful team.
But what the heck happened with Kelsey Grammer? He started the show in March, was there on opening night in April, and left in late June. He said he was coming back in September, but that never materialized. He just left the show– which was quite good in. And he hasn't turned up on TV or anywhere else since then. He's not ill– his photo has popped up from time to time and he looks fine. Did he just miss California?


Data provided by Volker Dredging Ltd (VDL), a joint venture between Brett Group and Van Oord UK, has contributed to an extensive research project recording historic remains from the First World War that lie on the seabed along the south coast of England.
'Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War' is a four-year (2014-2018) project, funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund, devised and delivered by the Maritime Archaeology Trust to coincide with the centenary of the Great War. The project aims to research, record and raise awareness of maritime action during the First World War – an aspect of the conflict that has often been overshadowed by land-based operations, such as trench warfare on the Western Front.
There are over 1,100 wartime wreck sites along the south coast, including merchant and naval ships, passenger, troop and hospital vessels, ports, wharfs, buildings and foreshore hulks. The scale and variety of this First World War maritime archaeology reflects the vital role that shipping played during the conflict. Britain's merchant fleet kept the country running and everything necessary for the war, from troops and munitions to materials and intelligence, moved by sea.
With many of these wreck sites inaccessible to divers, the Maritime Archaeology Trust used geophysical survey data supplied by Volker Dredging Ltd and other marine aggregate producers to refine the locations of wreck sites and establish the broad characteristics of a wreck before diving investigation was undertaken.
William Drake, General Manager of VDL explains: "Volker Dredging Ltd manages areas of seabed for sand and gravel extraction for use in either construction or for beach replenishment schemes. Before any dredging can take place, VDL must obtain a statutory Marine Licence from the Marine Management Organisation (MMO) and a commercial agreement from The Crown Estate who own the seabed around the UK. To obtain a Marine Licence the Company must satisfy the regulator (the MMO) that it fully understands the environmental impacts of dredging on an area and that any impacts are kept to a minimum.
"Marine Licences require the Company to undertake regular environmental monitoring such as bathymetric surveys to ensure the seabed is not over-deepened and can recover once dredging ceases on an area. When VDL were approached by the Maritime Archaeology Trust we were more than happy to provide our bathymetric data to this incredibly worthwhile project.
Assisted by the data provided by bathymetric surveys, dives were planned and executed. Details of wrecks and over 700 artefacts have been recorded. The vast amount of raw data researched and collected by over 300 volunteers has been transformed in a highly informative interactive wreck database on the Maritime Archaeology Trust website: www.forgottenwrecks.maritimearchaeologytrust.org.
The 'Forgotten Wrecks' database comprises high resolution geophysical imagery provided by the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, dive videos of the wrecks, artefacts, historical photographs, 3D models and virtual underwater tours of sites, as well as site reports and the extraordinary stories of the everyday lives of these vessels and their crews as well and what happened to them – a lasting legacy of information and learning resources for future generations.
On the 18th May 1917 the SS Camberwell was steaming down the English Channel en route from London to India, when it struck a moored mine. The hatch covers were blown off and it began to take on water and list to starboard before sinking quickly. The 65-man crew evacuated. One of the lifeboats capsized as it hit the water and seven men drowned. All seven were Indian seamen. The master, Frederick Adamson, and the other survivors were taken to Portsmouth.
Geophysical images show that the ship is well broken up amidships, heeling over to starboard, and orientated north-south, with the bows to the south. The bows and stern are fairly intact, and the 4.7-inch gun is still in situ on the stern. Much of the cargo is visible among the wreckage; Camberwell was carrying a routine general cargo of 5,000 tons to India and the ports of Colombo, Madras and Calcutta. Its cargo included wine, olive oil, cement, fertiliser and pre-paid postcards for use by British troops stationed in India. Some of those postcards, as well as fragments of 10-rupee banknotes were recovered when the wreck was found in the 1970s.

These larger casings are from lower in the digestive system, and though they are thoroughly flushed by the slaughterhouse, they can give off a strong odor at room temperature. This is inevitable and is perfectly natural.
Typically, the larger casings are inedible. They're not dangerous, but they are too thick and tough to eat. That's why you should peel sausages stuffed into larger casings before eating them.
Packed in salt and refrigerated, sausage casings last almost indefinitely. You can buy the regular size hog casings from the meat department at Reid's Fine Foods in Seventh Street Station.
I've also had good luck ordering sausage casings from The Sausage Maker Inc., an Internet-based business. They carry every kind I've ever needed. Find them online at www.sausagemaker.com.
