A new Flier-related (sort of) website
Uncategorized | Posted by Rebekah
I had a wonderful surprise today. Every few weeks I Google the names of several ships that featured largely in Flier's history: Robalo, Redfin, Jack, Harder, Silversides, Orion, and of course, Macaw. Usually, I find nothing, occasionally a new photo.
But today, I found a whole new website about USS Macaw, written by the son of Macaw's Executive Officer, the most senior officer who survived the sinking. It was incredible to read through and see the photos of this scarcely known ship. The one on the home page was the best for me, a photo of Macaw as she sat, grounded, at Midway. Wow. THIS is why I keep sifting through the Internet to find stuff on Flier and all her connections.
So, I hope you visit the USS Macaw Website.
P.S. It seems that particular area of Midway's channel was VERY dangerous. Not only Flier, Macaw and that water barge (see March 23rds entry) grounded there, but so did USS Tarpon, another submarine on December 10, 1942.
From the War Patrol Report of USS Tarpon: December 10. 1942
1018(Y): Grounded just before entering channel to NOB, Midway, bering 166 1/2 (degrees) T from W. H-beam pile, distant 850 yards. Particulars of grounding covered in seperate correspondence.
1034(Y): Backed clear, proceeded up channel
1100(Y): Moored NOB Midway. Diver inspected underwater condition of hull.
You'd think, with this warning 13 months earlier, someone should have blown that channel a little wider in 1943! The strangest thing of this tale has to be the Executive Officer and Navigator of Tarpon that morning was Paul Burton.
Who, 13 months later, would be at Midway. Commanding the new Submarine Rescue Ship USS Macaw.
I wonder if he felt a shiver go down his spine that morning in December. 13 months later, an unlucky number that (Flier would also sink on August 13, yeesh) He would drown in nearly the same spot.

Flier's grounding and the First of the Jim All's films
Where was Flier 66 years ago today? | Posted by Rebekah
Sorry this has taken so long. I'm having to finish the design for the potential exhibit in the next two weeks, and a few other, family related issues have swallowed my time. I am sorry, I've been hating how little time I've had to devote to this blog lately.
But I hope the following will at least partially make up for the prolonged absence.
First, I thought for those who have never taken a look at Midway Atoll, that you might be interested in just how Flier wound up grounded at Midway when so many other submarines came in and out of Midway all through WWII with little trouble. I ended up doing a lot of research to help myself out here, and I'm indebted to Michael Sturma of Murdoch University in Australia not only for his excellent book, USS Flier: Death and Survival on a WWII Submarine, but also because he kindly forwarded a digital copy of the JAG investigation and transcript into this incident.
Reading about this incident in the Deck Logs and Sturma's book was one thing, reading it, in the men's own words, was another thing completely. It brought new insights I hadn't thought of. Between the Deck Logs, the JAG Transcript and Sturma's book, I put together a little video about how, exactly, Flier ended up on the reef.
Following this incident, and the tow back to Pearl, Crowley would be found responsible for Flier's damage, but then again, a skipper is responsible for his ship and all of his crew. He could have been asleep when this happened, and still be found responsible. The fact that the investigation panel decided that even though he was responsible, it was through no fault of his own, nor negligence, or anything that could be helped. In short, he's responsible, but only because he had to be found such. They permitted him to retain command of Flier, which says a lot about their opinion of his command abilities, and I'm sure, was a great vote of confidence for Crowley himself.
Jim Alls was on that patrol the day Flier ran aground. For those who don't know, Mr. Alls came to the Flier Memorial service in Muskegon this past August. To my knowledge, he's the only known Flier crewman still alive. He was there the day she was commissioned and is listed among the commissioning crew, and remained with her until just a few days before Flier left Fremantle on her final, fateful patrol. The only reason he didn't go with her was he had his jaw smashed in by a New Zealand soldier a few days before departure. All submariners are still required to be in peak condition before leaving on patrol, so Alls was left behind in Freo, with a retainer on him so he would re-join Flier's crew as soon as he was cleared and she was back in port.
And of course, she never came back.
He's amazing. I mean, here's a guy who lies about his age to join the military at 15 years old (making him 16 years old when this happens) then spends the next several years on the most dangerous and complicated equipment in the world in the middle of a war zone. He has a great memory too, especially about these guys. I got to interview him and his wife back in November, and he told story after story, about the men, gilly, Panama, Pearl Harbor, poker games, working in the engine rooms, and on and on and on. Just incredible.
Since he was there the day they were at Midway, I asked him about it. The thing that stuck out most in his mind was the surgery performed on Waite Daggy, and the burial of James Cahl. I'm still working on the Cahl film, but here, in the words of someone who was there, is how surgery ended up being performed on a grounded submarine being thrashed by a winter storm.
And because I just can't help myself, here's a funny little bit about what happens when you screw up a Christmas Turkey on a submarine…
In case you're wondering, I tend to complete these and upload them to YouTube as I find time, but it may be a while before they show up here. As a result, all three of these movies have been available for two days to two weeks. If you're interested in seeing them as soon as I upload them, you can subscribe to the ussflierproject account, and YouTube will keep you advised as to when I upload these. I will eventually feature them here, as I can and it fits, but there you go.

First Book Excerpt: Chapter 2: Remembering Midway
The Book | Posted by Rebekah
For those who have been curious to read portions of my book, here we go. I'd appreciate CONSTRUCTIVE help only. If you think there's a problem, please be specific. I don't want to stop doing this because a lot of people just want to say "This Sucks!" and leave it at that. Not helpful. If you think it's good, tell me, if you think there are places where I could use some clarification, or it's too wordy, or anything else tell me that too.
For my submariner friends out there, let me know if this sounds like something that could have happened in a sub. The tons of research I have to do in order to attempt to depict submarine culture is no match for your experience. Let me know if I got it right, wrong, or how to fix it.
This is a large excerpt from Chapter 2: Gateway to War. The Flier is now north of Australia, on her way to Lombok Strait, the dividing line from Allied to disputed waters. Al, off duty, is passing through the Mess Hall on his way back to his cabin, when he gets caught up in the conversation between two of Flier's "plankowners" (these are men of a submarine's original crew, the one that she was commissioned with). They end up telling the new hand, Elton Brubaker, 17 years old and on his first tour, about the time Flier grounded at Midway, over several hands of poker.
To read the excerpt, click here, or check out the Book Excerpt page for the link at the bottom.

USS Macaw Conclusion–Pt. 2
By 2:30 am, the situation on the Macaw was desperate. The air in the pilothouse was foul from the steady depletion of oxygen. According to witnesses on Midway, some men were desperate enough to climb up to Macaw's Crow's Nest. Search and Rescue parties were being organized on Eastern Island, but had to wait for daylight.
Water was washing into the pilothouse and breaking over the roof. The men of the Macaw were trapped and it was only a matter of time before their options ran out.
Macaw's near sister ship, Florikan (the one that towed Flier back to Pearl). Macaw would have appeared similar to this before she grounded.
The men grabbed whatever floatation device or piece of wreck they thought would float, and threw themselves into the sea, likely praying to God that they would see morning.
By dawn's light, the search for survivors began. Men were found washed up of reefs, clinging to buoys, even deep in the lagoon miles away. Seventeen survivors in all.
Sadly, five men, including Macaw's CO were not found, and are presumed lost at sea.
And now, Macaw posed an even bigger hazard. Sunk in the middle of the channel, she was tall enough that her masts protruded above the water, and her superstructure lurked just below, to snag or puncture the hull of any vessel entering or leaving. She was going to have to be moved, or destroyed. It took eight months, 1,068 diving hours, and nearly a ton and a half of explosives, but eventually, most of Macaw was reduced to a twisted, flattish mass of metal deep enough beneath the surface to allow ships to safely pass over her grave. Her loss was officially announced on March 20, 1944.
Midway Island remained an active Naval base for a number of years, finally closing in 1993. Today, it is maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, which keeps a staff on the islands, and, since 1996, has permitted people to visit Midway, though tourism is restricted to 100 people on the islands any given day.
It is a bird sanctuary, a protected fish lagoon, and is one of the last pristine environments. The Wreck of the Macaw is one of the diving sites available for non-invasive touring. Despite the shallow depth of the Macaw (25 ft. at the bow, 55 ft at the stern) conditions at the mouth of the channel make diving her impossible for all but the very skilled most days. (The weather needs to be calm and it needs to be high tide before she can be safely visited) Her bow is the only recognizable portion.
The Bow of the USS Macaw
The wreck was thoroughly (and non-invasively) explored and documented in 2003, and is protected and maintained by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Incidentally, a water barge broke loose from its mooring and wrecked on the approximate location of Flier in 1957. It too, can only be visited occasionally during the season.

USS Macaw–Consclusion pt. 1
While Flier was still wending her way back to the States to be repaired and overhauled, another storm hit Midway Islands.
Macaw had remained hard aground for nearly three and a half weeks, thwarting every attempt to budge her. Twenty-five feet of her stern projected into the carefully cleared channel, not obstructing it, but posing a grave threat in all be the calmest of weather. Ships and submarines had to carefully nudge past her when they came for fuel or repairs. During bad weather, many vessels chose to stay outside Midway until the weather cleared (sometimes days later) or pass Midway altogether.
Satellite Photo of Midway Island with a marker showing the approximate location of the Macaw (and earlier, Flier) wreck. Note how close it is to the channel, with the Eastern Buoys missing, it would be easy to think you were in the channel, when you were about to run aground.
Most of Macaw's crew had long since evacuated, and some of their places were taken by salvage crews from Midway itself, and the salvage vessel USS Clamp (Which had already been en route to Midway for other salvage operations). It was looking like Macaw might never come free, so the best option was to remove and salvage as much of her equipment as possible and disassemble the hull to clear the channel.
Then the storm hit, and accomplished what had been deemed impossible: move the Macaw.
First she listed, then she began to slide backward into deep water. The crew onboard were told not to abandon ship, since it was feared that the men would be crushed on the reef, or killed by the violent weather before they could clear the Macaw herself, but soon, Macaw was sliding into the deep water of the channel, and the crew climbed higher and higher into her superstructure and pilot house.
Captain Paul Burton had twenty-two lives and his own in his hands, and the best he could do was try to keep his crew high enough to keep clear of the pounding waves. But as midnight approached, and Macaw slid deeper into the canal, the waves broke over her deck, her superstructure, and were licking their way up to the pilothouse where the men sheltered.
All those on Midway could do was keep spotlights on the Macaw and watch.

Career in Crosshairs
Originally Posted February 2, 2010
Sixty-six years ago this week, Captain John Crowley of USS Flier was facing one of the worst and likely most humiliating events of his life. His career hung on a thread, and he probably thought that his career as a wartime captain was over.
It wasn't the first time a submarine had grounded at Midway. But the results had not been good for a commanding officer. On 13 August, 1943, almost exactly five months earlier, the USS Scorpion, which had been training near Midway for her third patrol, grounded on the reef. It took five hours and one tugboat to remove her, and that short period of time damaged enough of the hull and ballast tanks that Scorpion was forced to return to Pearl Harbor for repairs. Scorpion's Commanding Officer and Executive Officer were both relieved of command.
Flier had been grounded for six days. Her grounding had lead directly to the grounding of the six-month old Macaw (and since Macaw was still hard aground, Crowley faced the possibility he would be held partially responsible for her eventual loss if she could not be recovered). One of his crewmen had died. It didn't look good.
The Official Board of Investigation (one step down from a Court Martial) was convened on the Submarine Tender Bushnell on February 1. The first day, the convening officers visited Flier, now high and dry in the drydocks at Pearl Harbor. The tally was immense, and Flier looked like she'd been worked over by a severe attack. Major damage had been sustained to the flat keel, vertical keel and bilge keels, as well as the rudder, port strut, port propeller shaft, both propellers and the main ballast tanks. Moderate damage was sustained to the hull frames, tank bulkheads, stern torpedo tubes, reduction gears, liquidometer, and fathometer. In addition, the saltwater cooling system to the engines was thoroughly clogged with coral dust.
Flier could float, but that was about it. Her props couldn't turn, she couldn't shoot stern torpedoes, she couldn't measure the depth of the water around her, her engines could start, but would quickly overheat, and her internal frames which would keep her from collapsing in on herself in deep water were compromised.
Final cost of repairs: $312,000, (nearly 11% of her original build cost!) and Flier would have to be shipped to California–she was too damaged to fix at Pearl.
It was going to be a long few days.

Q: VL6180X ALS values soo small I have bought VL6180X proximity sensor on breakout (Aliexpress) originally designed for use with arduino. I have tried it use with Raspberry Pi and STM32 (on STM32F429 discovery board). Sensor is in room environment which my mobile phone reports as about 1000 lux. Sensor could be used in ranging mode and ambient light sensor (ALS) mode. In ranging mode it works good in range of 2cm to 18cm (which is OK) but when used in ALS mode it reports all time zero. I modified STM library to report raw value received from sensor before any recalculations to lux and value from the sensor is all time zero or some number near to zero (like 1, 2, or 3). I have tried to modify SYSALS__INTERMEASUREMENT_PERIOD, SYSALS__INTEGRATION_PERIOD and SYSALS__ANALOGUE_GAIN to different values but result from sensor was still very low value (about 10). When i tried to light sensor with xenon light of my phone in original settings value was about 70 (0 lux after recalculation) and after modification of registers it was about 90 (1 lux after recalculation).
Have you any idea what I am doing wrong? Why are the values soo low?
This is my code. There are functions to configure and control UART (could be ignored), then configuration of I2C bus to the sensor (probably could be ignored), function for configure external interrupt on STM (could be ignored) and then main and EXTI3_IRQHandler which handles application logic. There are commented my register improvements and ranging test.

A: Changing the gain or other settings will have no effect on the number coming out of the AlsGetlux() function. Why? because you are gaining it up in the hardware, then dividing out the gain in the int VL6180X::VL6180x_AlsGetLux(VL6180xDev_t dev, lux_t *pLux) function.
 status = VL6180x_RdWord(dev, RESULT_ALS_VAL, &RawAls);

            AlsScaler = VL6180xDevDataGet(dev, AlsScaler);
            IntPeriod++; /* what stored is real time  ms -1 and it can be 0 for or 0 or 1ms */
            luxValue = (uint32_t)RawAls * LuxResxIntIme; /* max # 16+8bits + 6bit (0.56*100)  */
            luxValue /= IntPeriod;                         /* max # 16+8bits + 6bit 16+8+1 to 9 bit */
            /* between  29 - 21 bit */
            AlsAnGain = VL6180xDevDataGet(dev, AlsGainCode);
            GainFix = AlsGainLookUp[AlsAnGain];
            luxValue = luxValue / (AlsScaler * GainFix);
            *pLux = luxValue;
        }

If you have
ALSensor*5=register register/5=lux
or
ALSensor*20=register register/20=lux
is the same thing. So gain will not change the end value, but it will change the register value, so look at that.
You can see this in table 16 of the datasheet, make sure you adjust for the cover glass.

If your getting the same value out of the register I'd be worried.

The last thing is measure the int pin and the SDA ans SCL with an oscilloscope or something to make sure the integration time is really happening correctly.

A: I have bought the new one sensor and it is working good. Soo I think that my first sensor was broken.

Many families have no other option than to place their loved one in an Illinois nursing facility in the hope they receive the highest level of health care and hygiene assistance. In many incidences, the child, parent, grandparent or sibling requires ongoing monitoring and supervision by a nursing team that develops and implements effective Plans of Care and interventions to ensure the resident safety and maintains their highest well-being. Unfortunately, not all nursing homes adequately train their nurses or provide patients with the highest level of care. Rosenfeld Injury Lawyers LLC provide legal representation, advice, and counsel to residents of Illinois nursing skilled facilities like Rosiclare Rehabilitation and Health Care Center who have been neglected, abused and mistreated.
As a part of the Peterson Health Care System, Rosiclare Rehabilitation & Health Care Center provides Alzheimer's care, memory care, skilled nursing care and the Peterson Pathways Rehabilitation Program.
The state of Illinois and the federal government routinely update their nursing home database system with complete details of all filed complaints, opened investigations, health violations, and safety concerns. The search results can be reviewed on numerous sites including Medicare.gov.
Throughout October 2015, the resident's Behavior Monitoring Record revealed that "the behavior of throwing things in the room and spitting occurred on nine days, [...and] on eight of those days, the only intervention used was 'redirected to other areas' and the outcome was evaluated as the behavior was not changed." Additional interventions including allowing the resident to vent their feelings and being removed from the situation failed to improve the resident's behavior which continued throughout November and the beginning of December.
Notations were made that the same records documented on 12/09/2015 revealed that the resident "exhibited self-isolation and that five interventions were attempted, but there was no documentation of the outcome." The following day, "self-isolation is again documented for [the resident]" where the nursing staff attempted interventions include removing the resident from the situation, redirecting their activities, Social Services, and maintaining eye contact. It was noted that the resident's behaviors were unchanged and that no new interventions were added.
The facility Social Services Designee Stated on the Afternoon of 12/16/2015 that they monitor the resident's "Behavior Monitoring Records monthly to check for completeness of documentation and to review the behaviors being exhibited by [the resident].
After reviewing [the resident's] Behavior Monitoring Record for the past three months, [the Designee's] knowledge of the record showed that intervention being used with [the resident] was not effective, other interventions listed on the Behavior had not been attempted regularly and new interventions had not been added to these records."

Throughout the year, I tend to donate to causes that my good friends are spearheading. If they're going to take the time to spearhead a cause, the least I can do is show my support by throwing a few bucks here and there.
However at the end of each year, around November and December, I think about what I truly value and I find an organization or two that fit a good number of things that I care about. This year, I have two organizations that I am donating to. I'm writing this short post in case any of y'all out there are thinking about places to make end-of-year donations to, and these organizations speak to you in some way.
(1) BEAM: Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics.
This is an organization that I started volunteering for last year. It was created by a friend of mine. The idea is that there are a lot of underserved kids in New York City who like and can do mathematical thinking, but aren't getting what they need to excel. BEAM is a summer mathcamp for underserved middle school kids. The organization goes out and finds these kids, and then creates a summer program that's free for them.
So yeah. A thoughtful, wonderful, amazing program. I've worked with these kids and they rock. Right now donating $1 will bring in $3.14 dollars through a matching campaign. If this organization sounds like it fits your values, and you have some bucks to spare at the end of the year, consider donating!
This organization hits close to home for me. This is a math conference that started up in 2012. It was literally the most grassroots thing ever. A bunch of us math teachers who had been communicating online decided we wanted to all meet and do math together… and that morphed into an embryonic conference. A school donated space, people offered to present on things they were doing in their classrooms, and a small conference was born. It has been running every year since, and has been entirely run through volunteer efforts. Schools or colleges donate space. We have people volunteer to present. Organizers (disclosure: I'm an organizer) work out the logistics, while they're also working/teaching/coaching/etc-ing full time. It's pretty awesome. And because of the goodwill of all these people, synergy happens. It is an incredible space for math teachers to grow their own practice and forge life-long relationships with other math teachers.
So as an organization, financially, it's pretty efficient. We only charge a $20 registration fee because we want to keep costs low. But there are costs associated with the conference (e.g. buses from the hotel to the school/university where the conference is held, custodial charges from the school/university, renting a conference room in the hotel for registration and game night, providing supplies for speakers, etc.). Amazingly, with the few thousand we get from the registration fee, we've been able to pay for everything.
But here's what I realized… The conference encapsulates things I value. It gives classroom teachers a voice. It creates a space for teachers to share their thoughts, and maybe realize for the first time that their thoughts are useful to others. By having a powerful conference experience (which often lasts far beyond the conference itself through the relationships forged and communication that happens on social media), TMC is having a positive impact on math education for so many students. My donation is going to go to help increase access to educators of colors and seed a scholarship fund to help provide access to the conference for teachers whose schools might not be able to afford it.
So there you go. I wanted to share these in case you were wanting to donate to some causes, but hadn't quite hit on the ones that made your heart pitter-patter yet. (Both are non-profits so donations are tax-deductable.) These are the ones that do it for me. And I'd encourage you to give a few bucks if you happen to have them at the end of the year. (You're probably a teacher if you're reading this, so you probably don't have a few bucks to spare, so in that case forget everything you just read!) And if you have any organizations you think I'd be interested in, please throw them in the comments!
 That's precisely why I give to the mathcamp I attended when I was in high school, and which made such a large impact on me. Or occasionally why I'll give to my college (even though I don't usually give a lot because they are pretty darn flush and already have a lot of wealthy donors… I like to give to smaller organizations where I know a small amount of money will help a lot.).
Any good organizations that you know of in Illinois? I'm a future teacher of the state, and I'm looking to volunteer for a couple of organizations once I become fully licensed!
Hmmm. I wish I did, but I don't. I would ask around some more to local teachers or math organizations — they might have a sense of what's out there!!!


While we're here in the Sky Club, I can give you an update on one thing that really had me jazzed up this week. I'd hit a lull with the writing of my new book "How Far?" over the last couple of weeks, due to a hectic travel schedule and a bit of writer's block, but I'm pleased to report that another conversation with Paul Broten (the youngest of the Broten boys from Roseau) got me fired up this week and today I finished Chapter 8, which gets my Roseau character all the way through 8th grade and ready to enter Roseau High. What happened that winter, as he was finishing 8th grade? The "Miracle On Ice" team won the gold medal at the Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, taking out the "unbeatable" Soviet Union team on their way to doing that. Paul's brother Neal Broten was on that team.
Paul's a really outgoing and easy to like guy, and all you have to do is to get him started on something like Roseau Rams hockey or the 1980 Olympic team and then you're scrambling to write notes as fast as he talks. Great dude, great stories, great background. And sure, it's a little surreal to have a casual conversation with a former NHL player who is the brother of one of the true American heroes who made up the 1980 "Miracle" team. I, once again, feel fortunate to have grown up around Hall of Fame baseball people, like Stan Musial, Ted Williams, and more, because it makes it a lot easier to have a chats with people who have done great things.
So now, I'm going to have a bite to eat here in the club and an hour from now we'll be heading to our gate for the long overnight flight. When we land, it will be morning in England. Every time we make trips like this, the overriding goal is to power through the jet lag and stay up until at least 9 pm local time after we arrive. If you can do that, you're golden. I'm rarely golden. See you again soon!
We made it, landing at Heathrow around 9:30 on Thursday morning. I did not sleep a wink. I feel like I've been run over by a semi, then the truck backed up and ran me over again. Ugh. I was actually tired after we were served our dinner on the flight, but then as more and more people started to lay their seats flat and turn off the videos and lights I could feel the insomnia taking hold. I just can't sleep when it would be the best thing for me. I tried, but the guy seated in the row directly behind me sounded like he had the Bubonic Plague, coughing up a storm all night long. The ear plugs I had with me didn't stand a chance.
And now I'm so screwed up I can't stand it. We did get out of the hotel for a long walk right after they gave us the keys to our room. It was a big long 10,000-step walk all around this area, on the east end of Hyde Park. It's more than just a little kinda sorta posh around here, both in terms of the townhouses and the super-nice cars parked on the curb. I saw more Rolls Royce, Buggatti, Range Rover, and BMW badges today than I've ever seen, and that includes Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive.
The hotel is nice (same place we stayed a year ago) and we got an upgrade to an "Executive Room. This is the view out our window.
As much as I'd like to keep this blog rolling, I'm going to have to figure out whether or not I can eat or if I have to take a power nap. I'm afraid if I fall asleep I'll fall all the way asleep and then wake up at midnight. It's 3:45 right now.
I'll see you next week! Time for some serious pillow time.
Bob Wilber, at your service in Jolly Old England.

Hello I wish to turn a relay whose number I suppose from a variable . is this possible?
@elru As far as I know this is generally not possible with pimatic. You can use an expression as part of values in rules, but not for the device name or id. At least, this is my understanding of the matchDevice() method of pimatic.
This would be a great extension to the rule system.
Will move this to the feature request.

Gardai assault Shell to Sea protester - 'I have your life in my hands'
Date: Thu, 2010-07-15 12:27
At 7pm last night Shell to Sea campaigners used kayaks to approach a Shell drilling platform in Broadhaven bay. Five Gardai boats intercepted them and overturned the kayaks, dumping the campaigners in the water. When one campaigner managed to swim underneath the platform he was hauled onto one of the Gardai boats where a Gardai proceeded to choke him for 90 seconds.
Shell have just started drilling 80 boreholes in the bay in preparation for their latest scheme to impose their experimental gas pipeline on the communities of Erris. In order to try and avoid the safety issues raised in the An Bord Planala letter of the new year Shell now plan to tunnel under Sruth Fhada Chonn estuary despite the fact this is a Specially Protected Area & part of the Broadhaven Bay Special Area of Conservation. This new route will still be within 250m of houses.
According to Shell to Sea this mornings Gardai attack started when "One of the campaigners, Eoin Lawless managed to get close to the platform. When Gardaí overturned his kayak, he swam under the platform. A Garda then jumped into the water after him, and without giving any instruction proceeded to drag him from the water into the near by Garda boat.
Mr. Lawless said, "I had told Gardaí that I would leave the area but I was dragged from the water and they proceeded to kneel on my back. I was not informed whether I was under arrest or why I was being manhandled. One Garda then pinched my throat with his two fingers and cut off my air supply. He was obviously trained in how to do it. He held me like that for about 90 seconds, allowing me to take one or two gasps. He kept saying into my ear that he had my last breath in his hands."
"It was terrifying. I truly believed he might kill me. We need human rights observers to come back down to Mayo as a matter of urgency" said Mr. Lawless.
Mr. Lawless received medical attention at Belmullet Garda station last night."
The request for Human Rights observers was presumably a reference to the Frontline report 'Breakdown in Trust' which concluded that there is a situation of human rights' defence to which the UN Declaration on Human Rights Defenders is applicable.
This mornings protest by Shell to Sea was part of a plan to try to stop Shell from drilling the boreholes over the next few months through a campaign of peaceful protest. There is a long record of Gardai violence against Shell to Sea campaigners and as the Frontline report points out the Minister for Justice can and did veto "an investigation into certain policies and practices of the Garda Síochána regarding the Corrib gas dispute" by the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission (GSOC) highlighting the generally toothless nature of the Ombudsman and the reason why few campaigners now bother to file complaint's after they have been assaulted by Gardai.
This morning when Shell to Sea campaigners returned to the waters of Broadhaven bay they were again attacked by Gardai who stole 3 kayaks and a rib off them as well as arresting two campaigners.

A custom framed 1920's wedding portrait.
This is one of the loveliest vintage wedding photos that we have framed. When Lisa of Philadelphia came in with this large original 1920's photo, I knew that it would be special. It was to be a gift to her older sister. Lisa did not know her grandparents but wanted it to be something that wold be loved for years to come.
Everything about her selection is neutral and timeless. She opted for TruVue Museum Glass and chose solid color core mats that don't leave an obtrusive white line at the mat bevel. The Larson Juhl warm silver frame goes perfectly with the style of the photograph.
Lisa was extremely pleased and we think she looks like her grandmother-almost 100 years later!
Lisa was very pleased with the custom framed portrait of her grandparents.
Day 15 of Whispering Woods Gallery's "Vintage is Now" series is a unique combination. We combined three photos into one frame for Bill of Newtown, Pa. In the center we see Bill's parents wedding photograph from 1957 and 1930's pony pictures of his mom and dad from different parts of Philadelphia. Bill's mother grew up in the Tacony section of Philadelphia and his father grew up in West Philadelphia. Both photos are from the age of five years old.
On a side note, many of us have pony pictures of family. They look wonderful custom framed. We love Bill's idea of combining them with his parent's wedding photo. To read more on pony photographs we found a book that you might want to read- A Pony in the Picture: Vintage Portraits of Children and Ponies, by Victoria Randall.
For this project we scanned the photos and digitally manipulated the color of the trio to look pleasing together. We sized them to make an interesting arrangement. New copies were generated for this framed piece. The double mat of solid core matboard complements the Larson Juhl Marais frame. We included a brass plate with Bill's parents names and the year that they were married. Bill is happy to have this sweet reminder of his parents and their happy memories many years ago.
If Bill looks familiar, you might have met him at a local appraisal event or at an antique show. He owns Imagine Antiques and Appraisals and specializes in early lithographs, political Americana, metalware, American & European ceramics, ephemera, sports memorabilia, and pop culture.
Bill D'Anjolell of Imagine Antiques and Appraisals holds a custom framed trio of photos of his parents.
This is a photo from a 1952 wedding album. It was the sister of the bride and her husband. We scanned and printed a new copy for this project which hangs in our shop.
Welcome! Today's "Vintage is Now" photo is from a 1952 wedding album. This was the matron of honor and sister of the bride and her husband. The photography is stunning showing the reflections in the mirror. We proudly display this in our shop.
The custom framing is a bit creative! It has curvy mat cuts in the solid color core matboard. The mat colors were carefully selected to blend with the tones in the photo. The shimmery Larson Juhl frame is gutsy but works well. It also comes in silver and gold and is a best seller at Whispering Woods Gallery. The TruVue Museum glass invites you right into the photo.
Whispering Woods Gallery is an award winning picture frame shop in Bucks County, PA. With 31 years of experience will we creatively frame your photos, documents and memorabilia. We hope to see you soon!
Mom and Dad met in the late 1940's on Chelsea Beach in Atlantic City, NJ.
Welcome to Day 13 of Whispering Woods Gallery's "Vintage is Now" series. This custom framing project is a fun one! This goes back to the late 1940's where my Mom and Dad met on Chelsea Beach in Atlantic City, NJ. It was after WWII and Atlantic City was the place to be. I have included a vintage postcard of the approximate same time period in the same place. The building in back of my parents is the Ambassador and it is the middle building in the postcard.
The framing is simple. I used a beachy light wood with a gray wash and solid core white rag mats. It was challenging to make choice that went with both pieces. I cut the mat on my Computerized Mat Cutter. The frame is by a Pennsylvania manufacturer.
This is a project that makes a great gift and can be delivered quickly. I have thousands of fun vintage postcards in the shop and we just need you to supply the photograph. What a great gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day or graduation!
"Vintage is Now" Day 12-NY School for the Deaf in Manhattan. This photo dates back to the early 1900's. These are authentic medals, however we made a copy of the original photo to use in this project. The young deaf man is wearing his medals on his jacket. Sad to say, the young man died in the flu epidemic of 1918, leaving a wife and two year old baby son. For many years, this hung in the residence of the son who lived until the age of 97.
One of my favorite touches is the open v-groove surrounding the photo. The style of the elegant silver frame is appropriate for the time period.
We proudly display this custom framed piece at Whispering Woods Gallery.
Our Day 11 "Vintage is Now" photo is four small black and white photos taken by a professional photographer in the 1940's. Every time that I see this project I smile! This little guy was so cute! Yes, he's still cute! He recently found these when he downsized and had me reframe them for his new home. They had a little acid burn from the previous mat but all in all they were in good shape. The neutral mats and classic silver frame that he chose are perfect.
Baby photos make great meaningful wall decor. Stop by and we are happy to give you some ideas for display.
Day 10 of "Vintage is Now" features a candid snapshot of a mother and son in the 1940's. It was taken in the backyard on a sunny day. It is honest. There was no primping or posing. The subjects were immigrants who were grateful for everything.
This photo came from a "shoebox collection" of photos. Most families have a box or two of these. Sometimes they are a semi-glossy photo with cool deckled edges. Looking through a box of these is an adventure through the past.
The tone on tone white matting is simple. The matting design frames the image and draws your eye into the photo. We used a traditional frame that would have felt perfect in this home. The mom in the photo passed away in 1952, but we know that future generations will have a glimpse of a their family matriarch.
We won't forget this soldier who was killed in action in Europe during WWII.
Day 9 of "Vintage is Now" is a sad one. We framed an original military photo with a Purple Heart certificate and medals all in one frame. Our young US soldier was killed in action on December 25, 1944 in Europe during the Battle of the Bulge.
This was a gift from a niece of the deceased to a nephew of the deceased. She chose a tasteful Larson Juhl Biltmore frame. Although it does not show in the photo, the frame is deep enough to accommodate the thickness of the medals. We used Museum glass and solid color core matboard. The mat opening around the medals was embellished with a classic corner from our computerized matcutter. We were honored to win a Larson Juhl Design Star award for this several years ago.
Custom framing keeps our memories alive. Thanks to all that served our Country. We won't forget you.
Today's "Vintage is Now" project is a collage of family memories. It was featured in Picture Framing Magazine in 2017. It consists of vintage snapshots from the 1950's, vintage postcards, a map, and some Jersey Shore souvenirs of the same time period. On this piece we made copies of our original 1950's photos. We matted them with custom hand embossed matboard in fun summer colors. Combining vintage postcards and photographs makes an interesting composition.
Stop by our shop to this vacation memories shadowbox. In the near future it will travel to Margate, NJ for others to enjoy. Let Whispering Woods Gallery help you bring back the good times!
Our Day 7 "Vintage is Now" photo goes back to WWII and the Copacabana Club in New York City. This was enlarged from a souvenir keepsake taken by a professional photographer who went from table to table taking photos. We enlarged this and it hangs in a dining room. The handsome couple have passed away but are remembered every day.
Whispering Woods Gallery showed creativity in the mat cutting. Neutral mats draw you into the very interesting photo. The elegant vintage warm silver frame is perfect. We never tire of looking at this custom framed photograph.
Baby snapshots from the summer of 1955.
Day 6 of Whispering Woods Gallery's "Vintage is Now" features a series of snapshots from a warm spring day in 1955. The framed piece was given to the baby, now an adult, for a special birthday. The baby photos were a surprise as they had been tucked away in a cousin's collection. We can tell that much thought and love went into the photography.
Although the framing looks simple, there's a lot going on. It hangs in a modern shore home so the frame needed to be contemporary. We used a silver water gilded Larson Juhl frame made in France. To soften it a bit, a scooped fillet was added inside the frame. The mats are solid color neutrals of white with a pale gray. A v-groove with classic corner embellishment was added to group the photos into a collection.
Sharing real vintage photos is a sweet gesture that will delight the recipient. These photos will be admired by house guests and will be passed down for generations.
Note the elegant v-groove in the solid color core mats.
"Vintage is Now" day #5 features a 1957 snapshot of a groom, his sister and parents at Curtis Hall Arboretum just outside of Philadelphia. Sixty years later, Curtis Hall is still a lovely place to celebrate a wedding! It's a great photo and a favorite vintage photo project.
We scanned the original candid snapshot, digitally cleaned up the cracks and abrasions and enlarged it. We thoughtfully framed it to give as a gift to the young lady on the left with the great hair style! Are you looking for a unique gift for Mother's Day or Father's Day? Look through an old wedding album or search through some shoe boxes of photos. Choose a few and drop by and we will do the rest.

Q: git three-way diff using meld In git, I have already merged two branches, but I would like to 3-way diff the two (already) merged branches along with their ancestor (3-way diff). Is there a way to do this? Note that I don't want to undo the merge, just inspect the differences.
I prefer to use meld for to view the differences, if possible.

From a corridor outside the intake bays at the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office, chief examiner Karl Williams takes a mental inventory.
"Thirteen-hundred cases, 1,600 items in every year, around 150,000 tests," he said. "You can't do analyses of every piece of potential evidence you get in, but we've always got it."
Homicides committed outside city limits make up just a fraction of the deaths Williams' county-wide office oversees, but most murders are evaluated in tandem by multiple agencies, including county and municipal police, pathologists and a spectrum of other agencies tasked with a battery of supplemental tasks.

Award-Winning Documentary '(T)ERROR' Follows Local Counter-Terrorism Efforts
By Essential Pittsburgh • Feb 13, 2015
From the documentary (T)ERROR / Courtesy of Chicken & Egg Pictures
The new documentary (T)ERROR focuses on the role of paid FBI informants in capturing alleged terrorists. The film focuses on a Wilkinsburg man, Khalifa Ali Al-Akili, arrested in 2012 on a gun charge following an investigation in which an FBI informant tried to goad him into conversations about Islamic radicalism. Our guests are David Felix Sutcliffe and Lyric Cabral, directors and producers of "(T)ERROR," winner of the Special Jury Award for Breakout First Feature at the Sundance Film Festival.
According to Sutcliffe, the case against Khalifa, like some other cases the FBI has built, looked strong.
"There are these cases that look impressive, but once you dig beneath the surface there's a lot of issues there," says Sutcliffe.
FBI Launches Campaign to Prevent Lasers from Disrupting Flights

With Mary J. Blige closing the show by belting out tunes in a fuchsia brocade suit, Paris Hilton in attendance and a crew of sexed-up bikers and buff lumberjacks on the runway, this was exactly the kind of shy and retiring stuff we've come to expect from Dean and Dan. It's safe to say their 20th anniversary show got Milan off to an appropriate start.
We were inside the HangarBicocca, where Anselm Kiefer's monumental piece 'Seven Heavenly Palaces' was lit up by purple nightclub lights and Missy Elliott's "Pass that Dutch" boomed out into the space, mixed with "Heigh-Ho" from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

Aleuter (aleutiska: Unangax, unangan eller unanga) är ett folkslag hemmahörande i Alaska (USA) på några av öarna i ökedjan Aleuterna, Pribiloföarna, Shumaginöarna samt i de västra delarna av fastlandet. Det finns även en liten grupp aleuter (540 år 2002) på Kommendörsöarna i östra Ryssland, sedan de deporterats dit under 1800-talets början. Språkligt och kulturellt står de inuiterna nära.

Den etniska populationen är drygt 17 000 (2000). Antalet talare av olika dialekter av aleutiska är betydligt mindre (150 år 2007), där den största förekomsten hittas på Pribiloföarna.

Vid tidpunkten för europeisk kontakt uppskattas aleuternas antal ha varit mellan 20 000 och 25 000. Ryssarna, som kom västerifrån till Alaska, bidrog dock till att kraftigt reducera folkmängden både genom diverse grymheter, masslakt av vilt samt medförande av nya sjukdomar.

Hemvist
Även om aleuternas främsta hemvist varit ökedjan Aleuterna så är den inte det idag. I den största staden i ökedjan, Unalaska på ön med samma namn, utgör aleuter drygt 7 procent av den totala befolkningen på strax under 4 300. Istället återfinns idag de största aleut-samhällena på Pribiloföarna i Berings hav, två tämligen isolerade öar norr om Aleuterna och väster om Alaskas fastland. Båda öarna, Saint Paul och Saint George är bebodda med cirka 500 respektive 150 invånare, av vilka närmare 90 procent är aleuter. De hundratalet aleuter som återfinns på Berings ö, Kommendörsöarna, Ryssland härstammar från aleuter som tvångsförflyttats dit från öarna Attu och Atka i de västliga delarna av Aleuterna.

Kultur
Traditionellt har aleuterna levt av diverse marin jakt, på exempelvis sjölejon och havsutter. Vattnen runtomkring Aleuterna hör till de fiskrikaste i världen. Jakt bedrevs från kajak och jägarna bar vattentäta överkläder tillverkade av tarmarna av sjölejon. Kvinnorna vävde korgar av det så kallade Attu-gräset som växer på öarna. Dessa är kända för sin höga kvalitet och de är så tätt vävda att man kan ha vatten i dem utan att det rinner ut.

Släktskap
Aleuterna är avlägset besläktade med inuiterna och yupikerna, som brukar benämnas med samlingsbegreppet "eskimåer", varför språket grupperats till den eskimåisk-aleutiska språkfamiljen.

Johannesburg: Nelson Mandela Bay mayor Athol Trollip says he is delighted to retain his party position after being re-elected as the Democratic Alliance(DA)'s Federal Chairperson on Sunday.
Following the outcome of DA Federal Congress Trollip reiterated that he was "humbled" by the outcomes from the Congress.
"I'm delighted that Mmusi ended the Congress with the same words he started them with, that the DA is not a home for racists or racism, "says Trollip.
The election took place at the party's national congress in Tshwane.
It was a contest between Solly Msimanga and Trollip which was seen as a deciding factor regarding just to validate diversity within the DA.
Trollip added that party leader Mmusi Maimane served his promises by bringing equality and fairness to the party.
"I think I am deeply humbled and have great respect for the party I represent and our values on diversity. I'm humbled that I could be re-elected when everyone said this position would be all about race," he says.
According to reports, Maimane says that the organization's new election strategy will be broad and not just focus on bashing the African National Congress (ANC).
Maimane was re-elected at the party's congress over the weekend along with Federal Council Chair James Selfe and Federal Chair Athol Trollip.
It is understood that the entire new leadership faced tough questions as only one woman, Refiloe Ntsekhe was elected on to the federal executive (Deputy Federal Chairperson).
When asked about the shortage of females in top positions, Trollip explained that women want more than to be "tokens".
The DA has now insisted that its main goal for the 2019 elections is to win Gauteng.

The Military Enhancement Committee of Beaufort County (MEC) is an Auxiliary Committee of the Beaufort Regional Chamber of Commerce created to protect, enhance and grow the military presence in Beaufort County through advocacy, information sharing and influence at the local, state and national levels.
The military is an important part of the fabric of our community, and we endeavor to keep it that way.
The history of the MEC dates to the early 90's when it was first established as part of a Save the Bases campaign during the 1993 and 1995 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) rounds. At that time the community was concerned that MCAS Beaufort, MCRD Parris Island and/or Beaufort Naval Hospital would be recommended for closure by the BRAC Commission. Thankfully, MEC efforts were successful in defending the installations in 1993 and adding two F-A/18 squadrons to MCAS Beaufort in 1995 that were scheduled to go to MCAS Cherry Point, North Carolina.
Fast forward ten years and the MEC was successful at protecting the military installations again during the 2005 BRAC round in which they convinced Pentagon and Capitol Hill officials that Beaufort was ideal for training and a great home to the military. Paramount to this successful campaign were the many community partnership efforts such as a Joint Land Use Study that led to the DoD purchasing land adjacent to the Air Station that would prevent encroachment in perpetuity.
While there hasn't been another BRAC round since 2005, that doesn't mean the MEC has been inactive. They went on the offensive in 2010 to become the Marine Corps Air Station of choice for the state-of-the-art F-35B aircraft. Continuing a track record of success, the MEC helped convince DoD leaders to base three F-35B operational squadrons and the Pilot Training Center (PTC) at MCAS Beaufort, along with an influx of facilities and infrastructure construction projects to support them.

Allen, Jamie, and Eleonora Lupo, eds. 2012. Representing Museum Technologies. Milan: Politecnico di Milano DPA.
The use of technologies in the context of museums and cultural institutions is a topic that helps bring a focus to the myriad of representational, interactive and informational forms these cultural milieux allow. Combined with developments in the public take-up of mobile technologies and networked media and communications, technologies used in representing and producing culture cause us to fundamentally re-imagine and reinvent the role of cultural institutions in a technological society. This case study source book is a snapshot, a distillation of contemporary practice by museums and cultural institutions, along with commentary, critique and best practice reflections by interdisciplinary-researchers from the MeLa project.

And now it begins
Rumours of the season starting last week were clearly misguided. It commenced today at Selhurt Park. Finally. And we're one man down as well. During the close season management decided that DB10 needed to be loaned out in order to increase his experience and exposure. We still have great hopes for him. The lad has a bright future (if not a wonderful collection of socks) but in the meantime LB7 will continue to shine a light on the darkness that remains Darth Vader (minus his medical team).
So, back to Selhurst Park. First game and rule number one was violated right out of the starting blocks. Girouds' first touch of the match was crap but he actually proceeded to have a very fine game. His goal was stunning. You should see him shuffling his feet like crazy as he position himself for his swan-like goal. Vaguely reminiscent of goal scored by that Turkesh-based skunk (who's already out of the Champions League te he).
The initial 20 minutes felt like a one way onslaught. SO much for Wenger not being able to get the team focused. We wanted changes – naturally – but basically ran them over. We were never going to keep a clean sheet but it's still worrying to not feel like our Cech is on his game. Many times he seemed to dither. And one has to wonder why he did not fully extend himself on Ward's shot. Hopefully it's just settling in pains. In the 2nd half his distribution was brought back memories of our Roma-based Pole-in-goal.
The Coq was, of course, massive. The card he received unwarranted but felt inevitable. Again, the quick move by Wenger to bring him off in the second half was smart and alert; shame Wenger does not manage games tactically 🙂 . Arteta was reasonably stabilizing when he came on – as was Chamberlin.
I would though have taken off Ramsey rather than Ozil. It seemed like Ramsey was still off his game. The flicks and backheels just seem off. His timing is not there. And some of his decision making is frustrating. He is part Giroud (deft touches) and Sanchez (direct attacking) but he's still secondary to Ozil. Ozils' one touch passing remains a master-class in simplicity and beauty. I'm pretty sure I should store this sentence as ill be linking to it throughout the season. But back to the Welshman. I would have yanked him. He's not quick enough nor solid enough to take over Coq's position. Notice in the second half when he shot on the turn over the bar after another counter-attacking move. Beautiful football but what the fuck was he doing up there in the first place. It was as though we'd forgotten the lessons of Swansea last year. He, understandably, can't curb his attacking instincts. I have no doubt Ramsey will come good after a few more games; he has too much energy and talent. But just not in that defensive holding position.
A few words about the hair that it's Arteta. Even though, at least once, he was caught attacking the ball too far upfield, to his credit, he did firm up our defense when he came on.
Bellerin was a helpful addition and Monreal settled down to help control Zaha. But only in an Arsenal team, winning away form home with 10 minutes left, would you find the left back attacking into the other teams penalty box.
I feel like the last words should be left to the hulking Frenchman. Aside from his outstanding goal, his work rate was good and distribution not too bad either. But, as the season progresses we are going to need another forward and someone to cover for our big Coq. We have two weeks to find out who they are.
It sucks balls that the Liverpool game is on Monday. I hate all Monday games. Why do the English feel like they need to schedule games like the NFL. It really does fuck the fans. But then the FA has never really concerned themselves with fans anyway. What the hell is a Liverpool fan supposed to do if they want to work (in their working class coalmines, brothels and other 3 world occupations) and attend the game? Madness to do this to supporters (even if they are northerners). Some day in the distance future when I rule the world all Premier League game will be played on the weekend
