The Postcard

A briefkaart that was published by Uitgave A Vigevano, Amsterdam. Although the location and date of posting have been removed along with the stamp, we do know that the card was posted to:

D. Wellinghoff,

Overtoom 500,

Amsterdam,

Holland.

There was no message on the divided back.

There are many postcards showing Dutch women and girls on this photostream, and they are almost invariably shown knitting.

Where boys are also present, they are usually shown wearing very baggy trousers and smoking a pipe, which would certainly not be allowed today.

Volendam

Volendam is a small town in North Holland in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Edam-Volendam. The town has about 22,000 inhabitants (November 2007), and is twinned with Coventry in the UK.

Originally, Volendam was the location of the harbour of the nearby Edam. However in 1357, the inhabitants of Edam dug a shorter canal to the Zuiderzee with its own separate harbour.

This removed the need for Volendam's original harbour, which was then dammed and used for land reclamation. Farmers and local fishermen settled there, forming the new community of Volendam, which literally meant 'Filled dam'.

In the early part of the 20th. century Volendam became an artists' retreat, with both Picasso and Renoir spending time there.

The majority of the population belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, which is deeply connected to the village culture. Historically, many missionaries and bishops grew up in Volendam. Today there is the chapel of Our Lady of the Water, which is located in a village park.

The Volendam Café Fire

The Volendam New Year's café fire occurred during the 2000–2001 New Year's night. The fire began early on New Year's Day 2001 and caused the death of 14 young people. 241 people were admitted to hospital, 200 of whom suffered serious burns.

The fire took place in a building that housed three bars. On New Year's Eve it was packed with more than 350 young people between 13 and 22 years of age when a short blaze happened in the café De Hemel ("Heaven") which was located on the top floor after a sparkler hit Christmas decorations that hung from the ceiling. The temperature in the room reached 400 °C (752 °F). Many of the partygoers were wearing highly flammable synthetic fabrics which clung to their flesh as they melted and burned.

There was great panic and the heat, lack of oxygen and people falling over each other made escaping extremely difficult. There also were bars in front of the windows and there were too few emergency exits, all of which contributed to the high number of injuries.

Survivors stated that shortly after the fire began, all the lights went out, contributing to the panic.

The first report reached the Amsterdam ambulance service at 00:38 local time on the 1st. January. The first fire engine arrived at 00:46.

Mayor Frank IJsselmuiden claimed that the crowd had panicked because all but one of the emergency exits were blocked.

Many of those injured were hurt when they smashed windows and leapt from third and second floor windows in an attempt to escape the fire. Others including 53 injured individuals were admitted due to burns, with some being flown to special burns units in Belgium and Germany.

Investigation Into the Fire

The fire was initially investigated intensively by media and politicians. New rules were introduced for decorations in cafés, nightclubs and other venues. The owner and managers of the building were indicted for culpability.

An inquiry showed that the owner Jan Veerman had been negligent in providing escape routes, as well as failing to soak the Christmas decorations with a fire-resistant substance. Also there were too many people in the building at the time of the incident.

The owner was given a conditional prison sentence and community service. As a result of the inquiry Mayor of Edam-Volendam Frank IJsselmuiden and alderman Wim Visscher resigned their positions.

Tourism in Volendam

Volendam is a popular tourist destination. It is well-known for its old fishing boats and the traditional clothing still worn by some residents.

The women's costume of Volendam, with its high, pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes, and is often featured on tourist postcards and posters (although there are believed to be fewer than 50 women now wearing the costume as part of their daily lives, most of them elderly).

There is a regular ferry connection to Marken, a peninsula close by.

Volendam also features a small museum about its history and clothing style, and visitors can have their pictures taken in traditional Dutch costumes.

Volendam on Film

Volendam was a shooting location in Vikas Bahl's 2014 Bollywood film, Queen. The actors established an Indian food shop called Rani's Gol Gappa.

The owner was an Italian, Marco Canadea, as Marcello. The role of Queen was played by Indian actress Kangana Ranaut.

The film follows the story of Rani Mehra, a diffident Punjabi girl from New Delhi who embarks on her honeymoon to Paris and Amsterdam by herself after her fiancé calls off their wedding.

Queen is cited as a ground-breaking and an influential feminist film by many scholars. Over the years, the film has built a strong cult following. It was named as one of the best films of the decade (2010's) by multiple publications such as Paste and Film Companion.

Several publications such as O, The Oprah Magazine, and Cosmopolitan have named it as one of the best films of Indian Cinema. Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express named Queen as one of the 75 finest and most iconic films made in India in the last 70 years.

Music in Volendam

Volendam is well known for its distinctive music, which is called Palingsound (literally "Eel Sound") in reference to Volendam's status as fishing village.

During the 1960's, the local group The Cats was a very popular group in the Netherlands and abroad.

Another band from Volendam was BZN, which became popular in the late 1960's and early 1970's. In 1995 BZN performed a duet with the ten-year-old Jan Smit, who quickly became a celebrity in his own right.

The popular music groups 3JS and Nick & Simon are famously from Volendam; their members have all participated in local musical performances through the years.

Here is his bio on Wikipedia:

Chiune Sugihara (杉原千畝, Sugihara Chiune, 1 January 1900 – 31 July 1986)[1] was a Japanese diplomat who served as vice-consul for the Japanese Empire in Kaunas, Lithuania. During the Second World War, Sugihara helped thousands of Jews flee Europe by issuing transit visas to them so that they could travel through Japanese territory, risking his job and the lives of his family.[2][3] The fleeing Jews were refugees from German-occupied Western Poland and Soviet-occupied Eastern Poland, as well as residents of Lithuania. In 1985, the State of Israel honored Sugihara as one of the Righteous Among the Nations (Hebrew: חסידי אומות העולם‎) for his actions. He is the only Japanese national to have been so honored. The year 2020 was "The Year of Chiune Sugihara" in Lithuania. It has been estimated as many as 100,000 people alive today are the descendants of the recipients of Sugihara visas.[4]

Early life and education

Chiune Sugihara was born on 1 January 1900 (Meiji 33), in Mino, Gifu prefecture, to a middle-class father, Yoshimi Sugihara (杉原好水 Sugihara Yoshimi), and an upper-middle class mother, Yatsu Sugihara (杉原やつ Sugihara Yatsu).[5] When he was born, his father worked at a tax office in Kozuchi-town and his family lived in a borrowed temple, with the Buddhist temple Kyōsen-ji (教泉寺) where he was born nearby. He was the second son among five boys and one girl.[1] His father and family moved into the tax office within the branch of the Nagoya Tax Administration Office one after another. In 1903 (Meiji 36) his family moved to Asahi Village in Niu-gun, Fukui Prefecture. In 1904 (Meiji 37) they moved to Yokkaichi city Mie Prefecture. On 25 October 1905 (Meiji 38), they moved to Nakatsu Town, Ena-gun, Gifu Prefecture. In 1906 (Meiji 39) on 2 April, Chiune entered Nakatsu Town Municipal Elementary School (now Nakatsugawa City Minami Elementary School in Gifu Prefecture). On 31 March 1907 (Meiji 40), he transferred to Kuwana Municipal Kuwana Elementary School in Mie Prefecture (currently Kuwana Municipal Nissin Elementary School). In December of that same year, he transferred to Nagoya Municipal Furuwatari Elementary School (now Nagoya Municipal Heiwa Elementary School). In 1912, he graduated with top honors from Furuwatari Elementary School and entered Aichi prefectural 5th secondary school (now Zuiryo high school), a combined junior and senior high school. His father wanted him to become a physician, but Chiune deliberately failed the entrance exam by writing only his name on the exam papers. Instead, he entered Waseda University in 1918 (Taishō 7) and majored in English language. At that time, he entered Yuai Gakusha, the Christian fraternity that had been founded by Baptist pastor Harry Baxter Benninhof, to improve his English.

In 1919 (Taishō 8), he passed the Foreign Ministry Scholarship exam. From 1920 to 1922 (Taishō 9 to 11), Sugihara served in the Imperial Army as a second lieutenant with the 79th Infantry, stationed in Korea, then part of the Empire of Japan. He resigned his commission in November 1922 and took the Foreign Ministry's language qualifying exams the following year, passing the Russian exam with distinction. The Japanese Foreign Ministry recruited him and assigned him to Harbin, China, where he also studied the Russian and German languages and later became an expert on Russian affairs.

Manchurian Foreign Office

When Sugihara served in the Manchurian Foreign Office, he took part in the negotiations with the Soviet Union concerning the Northern Manchurian Railroad.

During his time in Harbin, Sugihara married Klaudia Semionovna Apollonova and converted to Christianity (Russian Orthodox Church),[6] using the baptismal name Sergei Pavlovich.[2]

In 1935, Sugihara quit his post as Deputy Foreign Minister in Manchuria in protest over Japanese mistreatment of the local Chinese.[citation needed]

Sugihara and his wife divorced in 1935, before he returned to Japan, where he married Yukiko (1913–2008, née Kikuchi[7]) after the marriage; they had four sons Hiroki, Chiaki, Haruki, Nobuki. As of 2010, Nobuki is the only surviving son and represents the Sugihara family.[8]

Chiune Sugihara also served in the Information Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and as a translator for the Japanese delegation in Helsinki, Finland.[9]

In 1939, Sugihara became a vice-consul of the Japanese Consulate in Kaunas, Lithuania. His duties included reporting on Soviet and German troop movements,[1] and to find out if Germany planned an attack on the Soviets and, if so, to report the details of this attack to his superiors in Berlin and Tokyo.[10]

Sugihara had cooperated with Polish intelligence as part of a bigger Japanese–Polish cooperative plan.[11]

Jewish refugees

As the Soviet Union occupied sovereign Lithuania in 1940, many Jewish refugees from Poland (Polish Jews) as well as Lithuanian Jews tried to acquire exit visas. Without the visas, it was dangerous to travel, yet it was impossible to find countries willing to issue them. Hundreds of refugees came to the Japanese consulate in Kaunas, trying to get a visa to Japan. At the time, on the brink of the war, Lithuanian Jews made up one third of Lithuania's urban population and half of the residents of every town.[12] In the period between 16 July and 3 August 1940, the Dutch Honorary Consul Jan Zwartendijk provided over 2,200 Jews with official third destination passes to Curaçao, a Caribbean island and Dutch colony that required no entry visa or to Surinam.

European Jewish refugees began to arrive in Japan in July 1940 and departed by September 1941. An overview during this period is described in the Annual Reports of 1940[13] & 1941[14] by the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC).

In June 1940, Italy entered into the war and the Mediterranean route was closed. The Committee in Great Germany, forced to seek new outlets for emigration, arranged for the transportation of Jews from Germany across Europe and Asia (via the trans-Siberian railway) to Vladivostok, thence to Japan. From Japan the refugees were to embark for destinations in the Western Hemisphere.

On December 31, 1940, the Soviet Union declared all persons residing in Lithuania as on September 1, 1940, the right to apply for Soviet citizenship. While the great bulk of Polish refugees in Lithuania opted for Soviet citizenship, there was a group of 4,000–5,000 persons for whom the New Order offered little opportunity. These were principally rabbis, yeshiva students, members of the intellectual classes and leaders of various Jewish communal and labor organizations. Most of them immediately applied for exit permits from Lithuania. Although during the early weeks of 1941 exit permits and Japanese transit visas were readily granted, the problem was how to find transportation costs for those people whose very existences were jeopardized if they remained in Lithuania. The JDC in collaboration with a number of other American Jewish groups, contributed toward the funds required for the Trans-Siberian trip to Japan of 1,700 persons.

In July 1940, Jewish refugees in Germany and other countries began arriving in Japan at Tsuruga, Shimonoseki and Kobe.[15] Japanese embassies and consulates except Kaunas issued 3,448 Japanese transit visas from January 1940 to March 1941.[16] Most of them held valid end-visas and immediately departed Japan. From October 1940, Polish refugees from Lithuania began to land on Tsuruga. Their number increased sharply from January 1941 onwards. "By the end of March there were close to 2,000 in the country, mostly in Kobe. More than half of these refugees did not hold valid end-visas and were unable to proceed further than Japan". They were forced to stay for a long time to find the immigration countries.

The number of Jewish refugees who came to Japan, as seen in Table 1, has documents with 4,500,[17] 5,000[18] or 6,000.[19] 552 persons of the second row of the table do not match the number of departing persons edited by Jewcom.[20] Siberian railway had been closed and no evidence supporting this figure is found in JDC annual reports or MOFA documents. For 200 persons described in Note 1 of Table 1, there is a document in Archives of MOFA that the Japanese consulate of Vladivostok transferred about 50 Jewish refugees who had stranded in Vladivostok to Shanghai with Soviet Union cargo on April 26, 1941.[21]

Sugihara's visas

At the time, the Japanese government required that visas be issued only to those who had gone through appropriate immigration procedures and had enough funds. Most of the refugees did not fulfill these criteria. Sugihara dutifully contacted the Japanese Foreign Ministry three times for instructions. Each time, the Ministry responded that anybody granted a visa should have a visa to a third destination to exit Japan, with no exceptions.[1]

From 18 July to 28 August 1940, aware that applicants were in danger if they stayed behind, Sugihara decided to ignore his orders and issued ten-day visas to Jews for transit through Japan. Given his inferior post and the culture of the Japanese Foreign Service bureaucracy, this was an unusual act of disobedience. He spoke to Soviet officials who agreed to let the Jews travel through the country via the Trans-Siberian Railway at five times the standard ticket price.

Sugihara continued to hand-write visas, reportedly spending 18 to 20 hours a day on them, producing a normal month's worth of visas each day, until 4 September, when he had to leave his post before the consulate was closed. By that time, he had granted thousands of visas to Jews, many of whom were heads of households and thus permitted to take their families with them. It is claimed that before he left, he handed the official consulate stamp to a refugee so that more visas could be forged.[22] His son, Nobuki Sugihara, adamantly insisted in an interview with Ann Curry that his father never gave the stamp to anyone.[23] According to witnesses, he was still writing visas while in transit from his hotel and after boarding the train at the Kaunas Railway Station, throwing visas into the crowd of desperate refugees out of the train's window even as the train pulled out.

In final desperation, blank sheets of paper with only the consulate seal and his signature (that could be later written over into a visa) were hurriedly prepared and flung out from the train. As he prepared to depart, he said, "Please forgive me. I cannot write anymore. I wish you the best." When he bowed deeply to the people before him, someone exclaimed, "Sugihara. We'll never forget you. I'll surely see you again!"[9]

Sugihara himself wondered about official reaction to the thousands of visas he issued. Many years later, he recalled, "No one ever said anything about it. I remember thinking that they probably didn't realize how many I actually issued."[24]

Numbers saved

On the number of refugees passing through Japan who held Japanese transit visas for Curaçao issued by Sugihara, the so-called "Sugihara visa", there are two documents stating numbers 2,200[25] and 6,000.[9] 6,000 persons as stated in "Visas for Life" is likely hearsay.

K. Watanabe argued that there could be 6,000 for the reason that use by three family members per visa is reasonable, that there were newspaper articles with 6,000, and that most of the refugees landing on Tsuruga were now admitted to have a Sugihara visa. On September 29, 1983, Fuji Television aired a documentary "One visa that divided the fate - the Japanese who saved 4,500 Jews".

In 1985, when Chiune Sugihara received Righteous among the Nations award, some Japanese newspapers reported that he saved 6,000 persons and others 4,500.[26] The Japan Times, dated January 19, 1985, headlined "Japanese Man honored for saving 6,000 Jews", and reported "Sugihara defied orders from Tokyo and issued transit visas to nearly 6,000 Jews". US newspapers referred to Sugihara as 'a diplomat who defied his government's orders and issued a transit visas for 6,000 Jews.

Table 2 shows the number of refugees who had stayed at Kobe in 1941 based on Archives of MOFA. Refugees classified as "No visa" in table are presumed to have held fakes of Japanese transit visas issued by Sugihara.[27] The Soviets wanted to purge Polish refugees who had been stranded in Soviet territory with Japanese transit visas as soon as possible,[28] and so permitted them to get on the train to Vladivostok with or without a destination visa. The Japanese government was forced to admit the entry of them. On April 8, 1941, of the 1,400 Polish Jews staying at Kobe, "for Curaçao" and "No visa" were about 1,300.

The Polish ambassador in Tokyo, Tadeusz Romer, remembered, "They (Polish refugees) only had fictitious Dutch visas for the island of Curaçao and Japanese transit visas". According to the refugee name list surveyed by Fukui Prefecture,[29] of the 306 persons who landed at Tsuruga Port in October 1940, there were 203 Poles. Their destinations were US 89, Palestine 46, Curaçao 24, and others. It is estimated that about 80% of them were on the Sugihara visa list.[30] The documents of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum[31] and "Refugee and Survivor" do not mention the number of people saved by "Sugihara visa".

More than half of the refugees who entered with invalid visas including "Sugihara visa" obtained valid visas with the help of JDC, HIAS, the Embassy of Poland and Japanese government, and embarked host countries. In August–September 1941, Japanese authorities transferred about 850 refugees[32] stranded in Japan to Shanghai before Japan and the United States began war. According to Emigration Table by Jewcom, the number of Polish refugees leaving Japan was Shanghai 860, US 532, Canada 186, Palestine 186, Australia 81, South Africa 59, and others 207 in total 2,111.

The total number of Jews saved by Sugihara is in dispute, estimating about 6,000; family visas—which allowed several people to travel on one visa—were also issued, which would account for the much higher figure. The Simon Wiesenthal Center has estimated that Chiune Sugihara issued transit visas for about 6,000 Jews and that around 40,000 descendants of the Jewish refugees are alive today because of his actions.[1] Polish intelligence produced some false visas.[33] Sugihara's widow and eldest son estimate that he saved 10,000 Jews from certain death, whereas Boston University professor and author, Hillel Levine, also estimates that he helped "as many as 10,000 people", but that far fewer people ultimately survived.[34] Indeed, some Jews who received Sugihara's visas failed to leave Lithuania in time, were later captured by the Germans who invaded the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941, and perished in the Holocaust.

The Diplomatic Record Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has opened to the public two documents concerning Sugihara's file: the first aforementioned document is a 5 February 1941 diplomatic note from Chiune Sugihara to Japan's then Foreign Minister Yōsuke Matsuoka in which Sugihara stated he issued 1,500 out of 2,139 transit visas to Jews and Poles; however, since most of the 2,139 people were not Jewish, this would imply that most of the visas were given to Polish Jews instead. Levine then notes that another document from the same foreign office file "indicates an additional 3,448 visas were issued in Kaunas for a total of 5,580 visas" which were likely given to Jews desperate to flee Lithuania for safety in Japan or Japanese occupied-China.

Many refugees used their visas to travel across the Soviet Union to Vladivostok and then by boat to Kobe, Japan, where there was a Jewish community. Romer, the Polish ambassador in Tokyo, organized help for them. From August 1940 to November 1941, he had managed to get transit visas in Japan, asylum visas to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Burma, immigration certificates to the British Mandate of Palestine, and immigrant visas to the United States and some Latin American countries for more than two thousand Polish-Lithuanian Jewish refugees, who arrived in Kobe, Japan, and the Shanghai Ghetto, China.

The remaining number of Sugihara survivors stayed in Japan until they were deported to Japanese-held Shanghai, where there was already a large Jewish community that had existed as early as the mid-1930s. Some took the route through Korea directly to Shanghai without passing through Japan. A group of thirty people, all possessing a visa of "Jakub Goldberg", were shuttled back and forth on the open sea for several weeks before finally being allowed to pass through Tsuruga.[35] Most of the around 20,000 Jews survived the Holocaust in the Shanghai ghetto until the Japanese surrender in 1945, three to four months following the collapse of the Third Reich itself.

Resignation

Sugihara was reassigned to Königsberg, East Prussia[34][page needed] before serving as a Consul General in Prague, Czechoslovakia, from March 1941 to late 1942 and in the legation in Bucharest, Romania from 1942 to 1944. He was promoted to the rank of third secretary in 1943, and was decorated with the Order of the Sacred Treasure, 5th Class, in 1944. When Soviet troops entered Romania, they imprisoned Sugihara and his family in a POW camp for eighteen months. They were released in 1946 and returned to Japan through the Soviet Union via the Trans-Siberian railroad and Nakhodka port. In 1947, the Japanese foreign office asked him to resign, nominally due to downsizing. Some sources, including his wife Yukiko Sugihara, have said that the Foreign Ministry told Sugihara he was dismissed because of "that incident" in Lithuania.[34][36]

Later life

Sugihara settled in Fujisawa in Kanagawa prefecture with his wife and three sons. To support his family he took a series of menial jobs, at one point selling light bulbs door to door. He suffered a personal tragedy in 1947 when his youngest son, Haruki, died at the age of seven, shortly after their return to Japan.[10] In 1949 they had one more son, Nobuki, who is the last son alive representing the Chiune Sugihara Family, residing in Belgium. Chiune Sugihara later began to work for an export company as general manager of a U.S. Military Post Exchange. Utilizing his command of the Russian language, Sugihara went on to work and live a low-key existence in the Soviet Union for sixteen years, while his family stayed in Japan.

In 1968, Yehoshua (alternatively spelled Jehoshua or Joshua) Nishri, an economic attaché to the Israeli Embassy in Tokyo and one of the Sugihara beneficiaries, finally located and contacted him. Nishri had been a Polish teen in the 1940s. The next year Sugihara visited Israel and was greeted by the Israeli government. Sugihara beneficiaries began to lobby for his recognition by Yad Vashem. In 1984, Yad Vashem recognised him as Righteous Among the Nations (Hebrew: חסידי אומות העולם‎, translit. Khasidei Umot ha-Olam).[37] Sugihara was too ill to travel to Israel, so his wife and youngest son Nobuki accepted the honor on his behalf.

In 1985, 45 years after the Soviet invasion of Lithuania, he was asked his reasons for issuing visas to the Jews. Sugihara explained that the refugees were human beings, and that they simply needed help.

You want to know about my motivation, don't you? Well. It is the kind of sentiments anyone would have when he actually sees refugees face to face, begging with tears in their eyes. He just cannot help but sympathize with them. Among the refugees were the elderly and women. They were so desperate that they went so far as to kiss my shoes. Yes, I actually witnessed such scenes with my own eyes. Also, I felt at that time, that the Japanese government did not have any uniform opinion in Tokyo. Some Japanese military leaders were just scared because of the pressure from the Nazis; while other officials in the Home Ministry were simply ambivalent. People in Tokyo were not united. I felt it silly to deal with them. So, I made up my mind not to wait for their reply. I knew that somebody would surely complain about me in the future. But, I myself thought this would be the right thing to do. There is nothing wrong in saving many people's lives... The spirit of humanity, philanthropy... neighborly friendship... with this spirit, I ventured to do what I did, confronting this most difficult situation – and because of this reason, I went ahead with redoubled courage.[38]

When asked by Moshe Zupnik why he risked his career to save other people, he said simply: "I do it just because I have pity on the people. They want to get out so I let them have the visas."

Chiune Sugihara died at a hospital in Kamakura, on 31 July 1986. Despite the publicity given him in Israel and other nations, he had remained virtually unknown in his home country. Only when a large Jewish delegation from around the world, including the Israeli ambassador to Japan, attended his funeral, did his neighbors find out what he had done.[36] His subsequent considerable posthumous acclaim contrasts with the obscurity in which he lived following the loss of his diplomatic career.[39]

Honor Restored

His death spotlighed his humanitarian acts during WW2 and created the opportunity to revise his reputation as a diplomat in his own country. In 1991 Muneo Suzuki, Parliamentaly Vice-President of Foreign Affairs, apologized to Chiune's family for the long-time unfair treatments of Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Official honor restoration by Japanese Government was made on October 10, 2000, when Foreign Minister Yohei Kono set the award plaque and gave a commendation speech at the ceremony for Sugihara at Diplomatic Archives.

In 1992, the town of Yaotsu opened the Park of Humanity, on a hill over looking the town. In 2000, the Sugihara Chiune Memorial Hall was opened to the public. Since its establishment, more than 600,000 visitors, Japanese and foreign, visited and studied about Sugihara and his virtue.

A corner for Sugihara Chiune is set up in the Port of Humanity Tsuruga Museum near Tsuruga Port, the place where many Jewish refugees arrived in Japan, in the city of Tsuruga, Fukui, Japan.[40]

The Sugihara House Museum is in Kaunas, Lithuania.[41] The Conservative synagogue Temple Emeth, in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, US, built a "Sugihara Memorial Garden"[42] and holds an Annual Sugihara Memorial Concert.

When Sugihara's widow Yukiko traveled to Jerusalem in 1998, she was met by tearful survivors who showed her the yellowing visas that her husband had signed. A park in Jerusalem is named after him. Sugihara appeared on a 1998 Israeli postage stamp. The Japanese government honored him on the centennial of his birth in 2000.[1]

In 2001, a sakura park with 200 trees was planted in Vilnius, Lithuania, to mark the 100th anniversary of Sugihara.[43]

In 2002, a memorial statue of Chiune Sugihara by Ramon G. Velazco titled "Chiune Sugihara Memorial, Hero of the Holocaust" was installed in the Little Tokyo neighborhood of Los Angeles, California, US. The life-size bronze statue depicts Sugihara seated on a bench and holding a hand-written visa. Adjacent to the statue is a granite boulder with dedication plaques and a quotation from the Talmud: "He who saves one life, saves the entire world."[44] Its dedication was attended by consuls from Japan, Israel and Lithuania, Los Angeles city officials and Sugihara's son, Chiaki Sugihara.[45] In 2015 the statue sustained vandalism damage to its surface.[44]

In 2007 he was posthumously awarded the Commander's Cross with the Star of the Order of Polonia Restituta,[46] and the Commander's Cross Order of Merit of the Republic of Poland by the President of Poland in 1996.[47] Also, in 1993, he was awarded the Life Saving Cross of Lithuania. He was posthumously awarded the Sakura Award by the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) in Toronto in November 2014.

In June 2016, a street in Netanya, Israel, was named for Sugihara in the presence of his son Nobuki, as a number of Netanya's current residents are descendants of the Lithuanian Jews who had been given a means of escaping the Third Reich.[48] There is also a street named Rua Cônsul Chiune Sugihara in Londrina, Brazil.

The Lithuanian government declared 2020 "The Year of Chiune Sugihara", promising to erect a monument to him and issue postage stamps in his honor.[49]

Wednesday 8th April 1863 The screw corvette Orpheus, 21, 400-horse power, the news of the total wreck of which has been received, was one of the most recent of the corvette class of vessels built at Chatham dockyard, and was launched from that establishment on the 24th of June, 1860. She was considered the finest of that description of vessel ever constructed, and was built under the personal superintendence of Mr. O.W. Lang, the present master-shipbuilder at Chatham, from the designs of Sir Baldwin Walker, the then Controller of the Navy. Her dimensions were:- Extreme length, 226ft. 6in.; extreme breath, 40ft. 8in.; depth in hold, 24ft. 2in.; burden, 1,705 tons. She was fitted with a pair of 400-horse power engines by Messrs. Humphreys, Tennant, and Co. As this was her first voyage, the greatest interest was experienced for her success, and the news of her wreck was received with the deepest regret.

Monday 13th April 1863 (From Our Own Correspondent.)

Melbourne, February 24th .

I regret to say that I have to announce the wreck of Her Majesty's ship Orpheus, on the bar of Manukau Harbour, on the west coast of New Zealand, with the loss of 189 lives, 70 only having been saved. The Orpheus left Sydney on the 1st day of this month.

Monday 13th April 1863

LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S SHIP ORPHEUS.

ADMIRALTY, APRIL 12th 1863.

The Secretary of the Admiralty begs to acquaint the Editor of The Times that the intelligence contained in the accompanying document has been received at this office: -

"Her Majesty's ship Miranda, Auckland,

February 10th 1863.

"My Lord,- In addition to my first letter from the scene of the wreck of Her Majesty's ship Orpheus, dated the 8th inst., sent to their Lordships, to save the Southern Mail, by the Wonga Wonga, I have to enclose for their further information the detailed narrative of Lieutenant C. Hill, the second lieutenant, and the senior surviving officer. It is a clear and truthful account of the whole proceedings of this melancholy calamity, so far as he and the other officers that are saved are acquainted with them.

"2. According to my judgment on the spot, nothing can exceed the exertions of Lieutenant Hill, the other officers, and all the survivors of the crew, who, at the imminent peril of their own lives, continued to the last to make the utmost endeavours to save the lives of their shipmates.

"3. I am informed that the Wonga Wonga was at the time of the Orpheus striking steaming out of the south channel of the Manukau. She first steamed outside the bar to the entrance of the main channel, hut afterwards returned by the south channel, picking up the boats off Paratutai Point, and towing them to the wreck by the main channel.

"4. Their Lordships will observe from the narrative of Lieutenant Hill that from the time the steamer was first observed, at 2 o'clock, until she reached the wreck at 6, the most critical and invaluable time was unaccountably lost, but Captain Renner and all on board the Wonga Wonga were most kind and hospitable in the treatment of the sufferers when they reached his ship from the wreck.

"5. Mr. Wing, pilot, and in charge of the signal station at the Manukau, informed me that the wreck of the Orpheus is precisely on the bearings laid down in Captain Drury's chart and sailing directions, since the publication of which the middle banks and small shoal on which the ship first touched have shifted bodily and considerably to the north.

"6. With their Lordships, I deeply deplore the loss to Her Majesty's service of an officer so distinguished as Commodore Burnett; it appears he met his much-to-be-regretted death when, sitting in the mizen-futtock rigging, the mast fell over to port, and, the top striking him on the head when in the water. It is said he never made the least exertion to save himself.

"7. I have directed Mr. Sullivan to proceed in Her Majesty's ship Harrier to tho Manukau Heads, and to detach an officer and party as far as he may consider necessary along the shore, north and south, for the purpose of burying, with such honours as circumstances will admit, the bodies of any officers and men, late of Her Majesty's ship Orpheus, which may be found, and also to recover such remains of the wreck, public and private, as he may deem fit; so soon as he may consider it no longer necessary to continue on this service I have directed him to conduct the duties of senior naval officer in New Zealand.

"8. With the view to save the mail which will leave Sydney on the 20th inst., it is my intention to proceed at once under steam to that port with the six officers and 10 of the crew of the Orpheus who have been selected as the most able to give evidence relative to the loss of that ship. These I propose sending to England by the mail steamer; the remaining 51 men and boys I have detained for disposal on the station; the majority have already volunteered for the Miranda and Harrier. I have sent 25 to the Harrier, for about which number she has vacancies to complete her complement.

"I have the honour to be, my Lord, your obedient humble servant,

"ROBERT JENKINS, Captain and Senior Officer.

"The Right Hon. Lord Clarence E. Paget, C.B, Secretary to the Admiralty."

"Her Majesty's ship Miranda, Auckland,

New Zealand, February 5th.

"Sir,- In obedience to your directions. I have the honour to report for the information of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that Her Majesty's Ship Orpheus sailed from Sydney on the 31st of January. After a fine passage to the coast of New Zealand, we sighted the land on the morning of the 7th inst.; it was my forenoon watch, at about eight miles from the bar of the Manukau. Steam was got up in two boilers; we had been condensing. The ship proceeded at 12 30, under all plain sail, with starboard foretopmast studsail set, towards Manukau, steering east till 1 o'clock, then N.E.E., being the courses laid down - so the master told me - in Captain Drury's sailing directions, keeping the Ninepin on with the end of Paratutai. The hands were on deck, the ropes manned for shortening sail, the commodore, commander, and master on the bridge; leadsmen in both chains; spare tiller shipped, with relieving tackles hooked, and six men stationed; gratings and hatchway covers were placed ready for battening down.

"The wind S.W. to S.S.W., force 5 to 6, with occasional slight squalls; high water at 12 20. As we approached the bar there was nothing more to see, in the shape of rollers or sea on, than I had been led to expect. The signal from the pilot station had been flying since 11 30 a.m, ' Take the bar;' the commodore and master were very attentive with the chart on the bridge, and very particular in the steerage of the ship, and in their orders to the engine-room, to keep the steam at command, the signal officer and signalman on the look out. At about 1 30 she touched slightly in the after part, when the commodore gave the order, 'Give her all the steam you can.' At about 1 40 the ship struck forward; order given, 'Astern full speed;' but the engines or screw never moved. At the same time the commodore ordered 'Hands shorten sail.' The ship broached to, with her head to the northward, lurching heavily to port, the rollers setting in from the westward, which immediately made a clean sweep of the upper deck, taking away port quarter boats (second cutter and jolly boat), netting, and bulwark. Sail was shortened as far as possible, the men not being able to keep the deck; immediately the ship took the ground the hatchways were battened down, which, however, proved perfectly useless, as the fastenings were thrown up by the bumping of the ship.

"The commodore then ordered the port guns to be thrown overboard (we succeeded in lightening the ship of four guns), and the starboard cutter to be manned and lowered, the paymaster and secretary to place in her his private signals, the public records, and the ship's books; but from the heavy lurching of the ship the men were unable to pass all the books they wanted; some were lost overboard. Mr. Fielding had orders to land what he had got and return. After great difficulty the cutter got clear of the ship. She was reported to be swamped two or three times. When seen on one occasion five hands were observed to be missing. It was about this time a steamer was seen coming out of the Heads. The commodore next ordered the pipe, 'Hands out boats,' yards and stays having previously been triced up. The pinnace was the first boat out. As I was returning from the maintop Commander Burton ordered me into the pinnace to go to the assistance of the cutter; the commodore then came to the starboard gangway, and on my telling him that I had seen the cutter all right when on the main yard he ordered me to take Mr. Amphlett, paymaster, who was well acquainted with the place on shore, for the purpose of getting assistance. Mr. Amphlett was then and there told to jump into the boat; this was at 2 30. We shoved off, and with great difficulty, from the strong ebb, cleared the ship. As we proceeded I observed the smoke of a steamer to the southward, going seaward. After a two hours' pull against a heavy rolling sea, we weared the Ninepin, when I spoke Mr. Wing in the pilot boat. We learnt from him that the steamer in sight (now seen coming up the South Channel) was the Wonga Wonga, returning to the Heads, that he had no boat to send to the Harrier to report our distress, that there was a lifeboat hauled up on shore, hut no hands or means to get her afloat; it would take 12 men a considerable time. The cutter now came up with us; Mr. Wing and his Maories came into the pinnace, while Mr. Amphlett, two sick men, and two boys, and two others started off in the whaler of the Harrier.

"We pushed on to the steamer, now between the Heads, waving, signalizing, and making every effort to gain her attention; after some delay she turned round and closed us, taking pinnace and cutter in tow, proceeding to the wreck, which we reached at 6 p.m. I found her very much lying over to port, the masts all standing, the crew in the rigging above the tops, the sea at times sweeping as high as the futtock rigging; the sails had been cut away from the yards, it being impossible to furl them. Taking, in addition the pilot's boatcrew, four young Maories, with the pinnace being to windward of the wreck, we dropped down to about 30 or 40 yards on her starboard bow, hailed the men on the bowsprit and jibboom to jump off and swim for it. I picked up seven or eight; having drifted to leeward, the steamer came and towed me to windward. I dropped down a second time with the cutter in company. This time three or four more men were taken in in the pinnace, and the boatswain and four or five in the cutter. It was now about 7 o'clock; the flood tide had made, the rollers soon became very high and dangerous on the change; the jibboom broke off short by the cap; it was quite impossible, with safety to the boats, to remain any longer by the wreck. As I was going back I shouted to the wreck to make a final attempt but none would venture.

"The steamer picked up boats and anchored close to the north side of the South Spit; distant from wreck about three-quarters of a mile. This was at 8 o'clock. At 8 30 the masts went. Boats returned to the wreck. The Wonga Wonga kept burning blue lights, blowing her steam whistle and ringing her bell. The pinnace picked up six or eight and returned to the steamer with one or two in the last stage of exhaustion. On again nearing the wreck I found the ship completely broken up. It was a beautiful clear moonlight night, and masses of the wreck kept passing in with the flood, clinging to which Lieutenant Yonge and six or eight men were saved. The cutter got so far to leeward that she made for the land, the pinnace returning to the steamer. We remained on deck the whole night, keeping a sharp look-out. At daylight nothing could be seen of the ill-fated Orpheus but a stump of one mast and a few ribs.

"From the commencement and during the whole proceedings nothing could exceed the coolness and decision of Commodore Burnett, C.B., the commander, and the officers all in their stations, sentries on the spirit room and store rooms; while the good feeling and steadiness of the men was beyond all praise, remaining at their posts until ordered by the commodore to mount the rigging. Many were washed overboard in obeying orders.

"I must not forget to mention the gallant conduct of the Maori crew; they were first and foremost in saving lives. On going ashore in the cutter Mr. Hunt and Mr. Barkly (midshipmen) were picked up, one Maori taking Mr. Barkly on his back and carrying him along the beach to his hut. They afterwards gave them food and put them in their own beds for the night.

"William Johnson (captain of the mizentop) three times jumped out of the pinnace with a rope to the rescue, and was the means of saving three drowning men.

"On board the Woaga Wonga, which officers and men reached cold and naked, the greatest kindness and hospitality were shown and continued by all on board, until we were transferred to the Avon, where I had reported myself to you.

"I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant,

"CHARLES HILL,

"CHARLES HILL,

"Lieutenant Her Majesty's ship Orpheus."

(From the New Zealander, February. 9th.)

Yesterday (Sunday) morning, at an early hour, the inhabitants of Auckland were horrified by the intelligence that Her Majesty's ship Orpheus, for sometime back expected on this station, had been totally wrecked in attempting to cross the Manakau bar, and with the awful loss of 185 souls out of a ship's company mustering 256 officers, seamen, boys, and marines. The Orpheus (a fine new corvette of 21 guns, 1,706 tons, 400-horse power), sailed from Sydney on the 31st of January, and after a fair passage, under canvas, fetched the land off the Manakau heads on Saturday, at noon. The ship was at that time under al plain sail, and within eight miles of the entrance, the signal flying on Paratutai -"Take the bar" - Commodore Burnett and the master being at that time on the bridge. Steam was got up at once, the commodore determining to go in. The lead was kept going; a sharp look out was observed, the ship steering east until one p.m, and then north-east by east, the Ninepin rock on with Paratutai, being in accordance with: Drury's sailing directions in the New Zealand Pilot. At twenty minutes past one the ship bumped slightly, but still went ahead. At half-past one, however, she struck hard, and orders were given to back astern full speed. The engines never moved. The ship fell off broadside to the rollers, the sea knocking away her stern post, port bulwarks, and boats, and making a clean sweep over all. The wind was from about S.W. to W.S.W., a stiff breeze, with occasional puffs. In this dismal plight Commodore Burnett, whose coolness and decision were the theme of admiration among his officers and men, gave orders to Mr. Fielding, midshipman, to take a cutter with the records, ship's books, and other articles; but, on losing sight of her, fearing that she was swamped, the pinnace was got out, and, with Lieutenant Hill and Mr. Amphlett, paymaster, was despatched to her assistance, with instructions to push on towards the heads, in the vain hope of obtaining relief through White's lifeboat, known to be stationed there, but, alas, without a crew to launch or to man her. It was an awful moment, but it is gratifying to know that even in this extremity all hands, officers and men, spoke in praise of each other, and of their gallant chief, who expressed a determination to be the last to quit the wreck, After the pinnace had left the launch was got over the side, with 40 men to lay out anchors, in the hope of making grapplings fast to haul into smooth water. The ebb title unhappily swept her under the bows, where she was stove, and nearly all on board, including Lieutenant Jekyll, were drowned. The pinnace meanwhile continued her course towards the heads, descrying the steamer Wonga Wonga, outward bound for Wellington; the anxiety was intense, as the Wonga Wonga went round and round, and nearly out of sight. Mr. Amphlett at length succeeded in reaching the pilot-boat, and came up with Her Majesty's ship Harrier at half-past 10 p.m. The Wonga Wonga anchored, and the few survivors were transferred to her from the boats of the Orpheus that had been got afloat. Had White's lifeboat been able to be launched and manned, we are informed, upon good authority, that most of the ill-starred seamen might have been saved. The heavy guns broke adrift about half-past 5 p.m., tearing up the upper-deck, and driving the people to the tops, the rollers becoming longer and heavier. The masts stood firmly until the flood tide made, at about half-past 6 p.m. They then began to go, and the ship parted in halves, the rollers breaking into the tops. When the masts went the crew gave three cheers, as if taking farewell of life. Commodore Burnett and the young gentlemen were in the mizzen-top; all perished, except Mr. Barkly, son of the Governor of Victoria. Commander Burton, Mr. Strong, sailing-master, and Lieutenant Mudge, who were in the main-top, were lost, the men who were saved succeeded in getting down the jibstay on to the jib-boom, dropping from thence into smooth water, where they were packed up, Many of the survivors are badly wounded, having legs and arms broken, and bodies bruised and maimed by the guns and falling spars. A despatch from Commander Sullivan, Her Majesty's ship Harrier, which was received on Saturday at midnight, informed his Excellency the Governor of this disastrous event. With the utmost promptitude the military authorities took measures to render every possible assistance- Colonel Gamble, Quartermaster-General; D.A.C.G. Chislett, Mr. Hamley, Ordnance Department, with six ambulance waggons, tents, 500 blankets, and other requisites, setting out for Onehunga. The steamer Avon, in charge of Mr. Hunt, with Captain Jenkins, Her Majesty's ship Miranda, started yesterday at 2 a.m. On reaching the heads not a vestige of wreck was to be seen. The Wonga Wonga, which was on her way to Onehunga, on meeting the Avon, transferred the rescued seamen to that vessel, and proceeded on her southern voyage. The Harrier got under weigh on Sunday at 4 a.m, but, having grounded, had to wait the flood tide, and did not get fairly away until nearly 3 p.m., about which hour the Avon had got back. The Avon went at once alongside the Onehunga wharf, and every care and attention were paid to the wounded.

(From the Wellington Spectator, February 12th.)

The Wonga Wonga sailed, from the Onehunga wharf, Manakau, on the 7th inst. On arriving at the bar she noticed a vessel in the offing, apparently a man-of-war, but the signal being up to take the south channel the Wonga proceeded on her course. On getting well clear of the channel, Captain Renner noticed the vessel to be labouring very heavily, and apparently ashore. Captain Renner then proceeded to the outer entrance of the north channel, but being unable to take it, on account of the heavy sea on the bar, he returned to the pilot station by the south channel. On reaching the pilot station he found two boats, the pinnace and cutter, belonging to the ill-fated vessel. The pilot then went on board the Wonga Wonga, took the two boats in tow, and proceeded to the scene of the disaster. On arriving there he found that the sea was making a complete breach over the vessel, and she was, of course, labouring very heavily. He then found it was impossible to get alongside with the boats, in consequence of the heavy sea; the boats were therefore pulled as close as possible under the jib-boom, and the officers in charge of them called to the crew to jump into the water and they would pick them up, as it was the only chance left of saving their lives. Several of the men jumped into the water and were picked up by the boats, but some were unfortunately drowned in the surf by the drawback. At this stage of the proceedings the scene was most appalling, the only chance of the crew getting saved being to jump into the boiling surf. All the men at this time were clinging to the rigging. The Wonga was steaming as close as possible to the scene of the wreck, and was fearfully tossed about by the tumultuous sea. The boats then returned to the Wonga, having succeeded in picking up about 14 of the drowning men, several of whom were nearly exhausted, and every means was adopted to restore animation, by the application of hot blankets and other remedies. Several who were wounded and very much bruised had their wounds dressed, and every possible attention shown them. The boats in charge of the second lieutenant again gallantly put off to the wreck, and succeeded in rescuing several from a watery grave. By this time it was becoming dark, and the pilot, not deeming it prudent for the Wonga to remain in the position she was then in, proceeded a short distance into the channel and anchored. At about 9 o'clock, the night being very dark, the foremast went by the hoard, casting all the poor fellows who were clinging to it into the raging billows. Immediately after, the main and mizzen masts fell over the side, carrying the last of the crew with them. During all this time the most superhuman exertions were being made by the second lieutenant and the gallant crews to rescue his unfortunate shipmates. The two boats, and a boat belonging to the Wonga, were pulling about amid the breakers until past midnight. All hopes of saving any more lives having vanished, the pinnace, in charge of the second lieutenant, returned, with several more of the unfortunate crew, to the Wonga, and the cutter proceeded into the pilot station, being unable to fetch the Wonga, and landed seven more of the crew in safety, including the son of Sir Henry Barkly, the Governor of Victoria, who was saved after clinging to a spar for upwards of two hours. The Wonga burnt blue lights, and showed other signals until daylight, in hopes of picking up any more of the unfortunate crew who might be floating about the wreck. At daylight, the Wonga proceeded towards the wreck, but by this time a very small portion of the ill-fated vessel was to be seen. Commander Jenkins returned thanks to Captain Renner, his officers, and the crew of the Wonga Wonga, for their praiseworthy exertions and unremitting kindness to the sufferers. One of the captains of the mizzentop, who was one of the boat's crew, gallantly jumped overboard three times, and on each occasion succeeded in saving a shipmate from a watery grave. The Commodore was last seen in the mizzen rigging, and is supposed to have been killed by the falling of a spar. The wind was about W.S.W., with a terrific sea on, when the Orpheus went to pieces.

Tu 14 April 1863 We have received the following letter from our Malta correspondent, dated Valetta, April 7:-

"… Several officers and men who were saved from the wreck of Her Majesty's ship Orpheus, on the coast of New Zealand, arrived this morning in the mail packet Ellora, on their way to England. They are Lieut. Hill, Lieut. Yonge, Paymaster Amphlett, Mr. Hunt, Mr. Fielding, and Mr. Barkly, midshipmen ; Mr. Mason and Mr. Beer, petty officers, and nine seamen".

THE LOSS OF THE ORPHEUS.

The following dispatch, addressed to the Duke of Newcastle, has been received from Sir G. Grey, Governor of New Zealand :-

"New Zealand.- No. 10.

"Government-house, Auckland, February. 9th, 1863.

"My Lord Duke,- I have the honour to report to your Grace the total loss of Her Majesty's ship Orpheus on the bar of the harbour of Manukau, on the west coast of the North Island, nearly opposite to the harbour of Auckland, which is on the east coast.

"2. Eight officers and 61 men have been saved from the wreck. The names of the officers who have been saved are given in the enclosure to this despatch. Twenty-three officers and 158 men, it is believed, have perished, as the vessel has entirely gone to pieces, and nothing has been seen of them. The names of the missing officers are also given in the list transmitted herewith.

"3. It is positively known that many of these officers and men have perished, as they were killed in the presence of the survivors by spars and ropes. There is but slight hope that any of them can be alive; they can only have escaped by having been first washed out to sea on some spar, and then washed up on some other part of the coast.

"4. The ship, as far as I can collect, was rather to the southward of the port, and was, at about half-past 1 o'clock in the day, with beautiful weather and a fair wind, making the harbour under steam and sail, going about 12 knots. Running thus from the southward, she was intending to make the passage across the bar as laid down in the chart of 1853. Since that time the bar has shifted about three-quarters of a mile to the northward. She was thus rather more than that distance too far to the southward, and touched first on a small shoal off the middle banks, and in a few minutes ran directly on to them, where there is always a very heavy sea, and where her position (about four miles out at sea) was hopeless.

"5. At between 4 and 5 o'clock a small coasting steamer, the Wonga Wonga, which was going out of the harbour, seeing her peril, went to her assistance, but, from the heavy sea and breakers, was unable to get very near her; but the boats of the Orpheus, and those of the men who were saved under the shelter of the steamer, managed from time to time to pick up others. They were aided in the most gallant and determined manner by three Maories from the pilot-station, who steered the boats.

"6. The conduct of Commodore Burnett, his officers, and men, was perfectly heroic. I have never heard instances of greater courage, carelessness of self, and efforts to save the ship and others than have been detailed to me. At about 9 at night the mainmast went overboard; the other two masts went in less than 20 minutes afterwards. Those of the crew (and they were a great number) who had not yet been washed overboard or killed by spars and ropes were on the masts and rigging, and the poor fellows, as these went, gave three parting cheers and then perished. I am told that not a murmur or cry was heard from the wounded and dying, and yet the manner of some of their deaths was terrible. Altogether it is one of the most affecting events that I have ever heard of, and yet one that excites admiration from the courage, self-devotion, and energetic resignation both of the many who perished and the few who were saved.

"I have, &c.,

"G. GREY.

"His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, K.G."

Monday 20th April 1863 The surviving officers and crew of Her Majesty's ship Orpheus arrived on board Her Majesty's ship Victory, at Portsmouth, on Friday evening. They arrived at Portsmouth by Southampton steampacket from the Peninsular and Oriental Mail Company's mail steamship Ellora, which arrived the same day at that port from Malta.

HOUSE OF LORDS, MONDAY, APRIL 20th.

THE LOSS OF THE ORPHEUS.

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he wished to put a question to the noble duke at the head of the Admiralty respecting the loss of Her Majesty's ship Orpheus. In the official despatch on the subject it was stated that the Orpheus, with nearly 200 men, was lost by acting, not against, but in compliance with the directions on her chart. The telegraph flag was flying telling her to take the bar; she obeyed that instruction, and consequently was wrecked. Since the chart was issued in 1853 the sand at the mouth of the harbour of Manukau had shifted three quarters of a mile, and in consequence the Orpheus, instead of passing safely through the channel, ran directly on the sand itself. He wished to know what steps the Admiralty were in the habit of taking for the purpose of collecting information on foreign stations respecting those changes which occurred from time to time, affecting the navigation of the waters, and also what means they adopted for disseminating that information among the officers of the Royal Navy. Although it appeared, in this instance, that Her Majesty's officers were unacquainted with the changes which had occurred, the merchant service were not ignorant of them, for he had seen in the newspapers a letter from a gentleman commanding a vessel stating that they were perfectly well known.

The Duke of SOMERSET said he was very glad that the noble earl had put this question to him, as it enabled him to correct an error on the subject which was very generally prevalent, and into which it was not surprising that the noble earl had fallen, as it originated in the despatch of the Governor of New Zealand, Sir George Grey. In that despatch it was stated that the Orpheus "was intending to make the passage across the bar, as laid down in the chart of 1853. Since that time the bar has shifted about three-quarters of a mile to the northward. She was thus rather more than that distance too far to the southward." The loss of this fine vessel and her gallant crew was, of course, a most painful calamity; but it would have been an additional source of deep affliction if it had been caused by any neglect on the part of the Admiralty in not communicating to the officers of the ship the changes which were known to have occurred in the harbour. So far, however, was this from being the case that the chart of 1853 was brought to the notice of the Hydrographer's office in October 1861, if not before. A notice was then drawn up, of which printed copies were sent to the senior officer on the Australian station to be distributed among the ships in that quarter. That notice contained the following observations:-

"It appears from the Remark Book of Her Majesty's Ship Niger, 1861, by Mr. A.J. Veitch, Master, that since the survey by Captain Drury in 1853 the main channel at the entrance of Manukau Harbour has shifted; as also, that the code of signals noticed in the New Zealand Pilot, 2d edition, 1859, established to assist the navigation of that port, has been altered and improved. The following directions will therefore supersede those heretofore in use; but from the shifting nature of the entrance of Manukau Harbour, as also of all the bar harbours on the west coast of the north island, the seaman is cautioned to pay strict attention to directions that may be given from pilot stations; and it has been recommended as a general rule, in the absence of direct information of changes in the channels, that that portion which has the smoothest water between the breakers should be taken, as experience has proved that it will be the deepest part. The north side of the middle banks forming the southern boundary of the main channel to Manukau, has extended to the northward since Captain Drury's survey in 1853; vessels, therefore, in crossing the bar of this harbour should bring the Nine Pinrock twice its base open to the southward of Paratutai, N.E. by E 1/2 E., which will lead about a cable northward of the breakers."

Thus seamen were first cautioned that the bar had shifted, and were also warned to pay attention to local information. When he first heard of the accident to the Orpheus he was anxious to learn whether the officers had ever received the notice he had referred to. He therefore sent for the issue book kept in the Hydrographic-office, from which it appeared that the New Zealand notice was sent to Portsmouth on the 13th of November, 1861, and placed in No. 5 Australian chart box. On the 23d of November the Orpheus drew this No. 5 box from the store at Portsmouth, and the receipt for it was in the Hydrographic-office at the Admiralty. Moreover, he had seen an officer on Saturday who was saved from the wreck, and he believed he was correct in stating that the master of the Orpheus had a copy of the very notice in question in his hand at the time when the ship was approaching the bar. He mentioned these circumstances only to justify the Admiralty, and to show that they were not chargeable with neglect of duty. He would not go any further into the subject. Their lordships were doubtless aware that the Orpheus, which drew about 20ft. Of water, was rather larger than most of the ships frequenting that coast, end he might observe that he had sent her out at the pressing instance of the Governor of New Zealand. The noble earl had also asked what were the general orders of the Admiralty in regard to correcting charts. Those orders were very complete. The master was directed to note all inaccuracies in any of the charts supplied to the ship, but especially in those published by the Admiralty, so that the requisite alterations might be presently made. If the position of the dangers was materially altered, or if he should discover any new dangers, or if the inaccuracies he might have detected in the charts were of importance, he was to report them immediately to the Admiralty by the very first opportunity, so that no time should be lost in applying the necessary corrections. Again when a hydrographic notice of a newly discovered shoal, or rock, or other danger, or a notice to mariners of a new or altered light, buoy, beacon, or land mark was received on board, the master was at once to insert it in red ink in all the charts to which it referred (these being always enumerated at the foot of the notice), and to note the same in the sailing directions, reporting to the captain that he had so done. Further, all masters of Her Majesty's ships were required to report to the Secretary of the Admiralty through their captain the discovery of any new rock or shoal. The governors of our colonies and. Consuls constantly sent information, and harbour masters and merchant captains did the same. The Hydrographic-office was in constant correspondence with all parties who could furnish information in all parts of the world. As soon as it was received, if considered of fair authority, it was printed and circulated not only for the benefit of Her Majesty's ships, but of all navigators. He thought he had now shown that every care was taken to let the officers of the unfortunate vessel know the changes which had taken place in the harbour. He had only to add that there would of course be an inquiry into all the circumstances connected with the loss of the ship, and then probably it would be ascertained how the vessel came to be lost. He could not omit bearing testimony to the gallant bearing of all on board, and of the crew of the vessel, who, seeing death coming upon them in all directions, still remained steadfast in the execution of their duty. (Hear, hear.) Such conduct afforded a fine example of the courage and bravery of British seamen. (Hear, hear.)

Thursday 23rd April 1863 A meeting has been convened for this evening by the Mayor of Portsmouth to raise a public subscription for the relief of the widows and orphans of those who perished in the wreck of the Orpheus.

Tuesday 28th April 1863 A naval court assembled on board Her Majesty's ship Victory at Portsmouth yesterday, for the trial, pro forma, of Lieutenant Charles Hill, and the surviving officers and crew of Her Majesty's ship Orpheus at present in England, for the recent loss of that ship on the bar of Manukau harbour, New Zealand. The Court was composed of Captain Scott, Her Majesty's ship Victory, President; Captains Wainwright, Cumming, Phillimore, Chamberlain, and Seccombe. After hearing a mass of evidence the finding was read by the Deputy Judge-Advocate. It set forth that Her Majesty's ship Orpheus was lost by striking on the bar of Manukau harbour on the day named when going over it in the absence of pilot boats, that no blame whatever was attached to Commodore Burnett, C.B., or any of her officers and crew, that the conduct of every officer, seaman and marine, man and boy. On board was deserving of the very highest praise, and that Lieut. Hill and the officers and crew of Her Majesty's late ship Orpheus were therefore fully and honourably acquitted. Lieut. Hill was then called to the table and presented with, his sword. The President observed that the duly he had to perform was gratifying to him, and that he only expressed the feelings of the entire Court when he said they felt the sword could not be intrusted to better and more worthy hands. It gives us much pleasure to announce that Her Majesty has forwarded to Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.B., Admiral Commanding at Portsmouth, through Sir C. Phipps, the sum of 50 l. for the families of the crew of the Orpheus, with the expression of Her Majesty's deep sympathy with them in their affliction.

Monday 4th May 1863 NO ONE TO BLAME!- The Court of Inquiry into the circumstances of the wreck of the Orpheus have found, as we are informed by the correspondent of The Times, "that Her Majesty's ship Orpheus was lost by striking on the bar of Manukau harbour when going over it in the absence of pilot boats, that no blame whatever was attached to Commodore Burnett, C.B., or any of her officers and crew, and that the conduct of every officer, seaman and marine, man and boy, on board was deserving of the very highest praise." This is an astounding verdict, excepting only the last award of praise, thoroughly merited, as regards the conduct of all after the stranding of the ship. The conclusion is that no one was to blame for the loss of a fine ship in broad day and moderate weather. It was all right that she should attempt to enter the Manukau when she had no particular business there; it was all right that she should make the attempt at the wrong tide-time; in short, it was right that she should be lost, for, if there was no wrong in the case, all was right and as it ought to be. It is unfortunately true that the officers to whom blame may have attached are not living to defend themselves, but surely the Court, without direct censure, might have adverted to the causes of the disaster with regret, and thus given a warning against the repetition of the same errors. As it is, the imprudences seem approved and sanctioned. The Court found that the ship was lost by striking on the bar when going over it in the absence of pilot boats. The bar is only a cable's length in breadth. The ship first touched according to lieutenant Hill's statement, at 1 30, and 10 minutes afterwards struck, where she went to pieces. Was she, then, with all plain sail set, a fair wind and steam power in aid, 10 minutes in traversing the distance of a cable's length? If not, she was clearly not lost on the bar, the passage over which could not have taken her two minutes, allowing for a strong adverse tide, As we have before explained, the ship was lost on the Middle-bank, inside the bar, and not at all in the position of a bar, which, as the name expresses, stretches across the entrance of a harbour or port; the Middle lies in the direction of the entrance, and its north side makes the south side of the channel. The Court find that the ship struck in the absence of pilot boats. Does it pretend that pilot boats could be expected? Is it not well known that the pilot boats do not go beyond the Heads, and in the Admiralty Sailing Directions is it not notified that "it is seldom possible for the pilot boat to board outside the bar?" And for this reason all necessary directions for guidance are given by signals from the pilot-station at the Paratutai Head. But if, notwithstanding information to the contrary, the ship expected a pilot and was disappointed, why did she not then give up the attempt and proceed to Auckland, with a leading wind round the north cape? It is quite clear that the disaster was referable to the culpable error of attempting the entrance at the wrong tide-time. The signal for water was made at 11 30, 50 minutes before high water, and if there was only water enough in the 50 minutes before high water, there would certainly not be more in the 50 minutes after high water; for wherever there is a great inlet like the Manukau the first of the ebb runs off quicker than the last of the flood runs in. But with only 50 minutes of tide time to be depended on the Orpheus did not even approach the bar till that time had expired, and might have passed it about an hour and ten minutes after high water, when the tide had fallen full half a fathom, and a rougher weather-tide had increased the sand, and by so much diminished the depth of water necessary to float the long-legged ship over the shoals. But there was nothing to blame in all this according to the view of the naval Court, and officers are free to follow the example of Commodore Burnett without fear of censure, living or dead. Certain we are that the unfortunate officer himself must in his last moments bitterly have reproached himself for the rash error by which he had thrown away the lives of so many brave men. No officer's character stood higher than that of Commodore Burnett, and inexplicable is the one fatal error closing his meritorious career. Perhaps it never occurred to the Court to inquire what the ship was doing from daybreak, when she made the land, to midday, when she ran her head against the shore, for the answer might give some clue to the cause of the disaster, and might not be reconcilable with the foregone conclusion that no one was to blame.- Examiner.

Thursday 14th May 1863 WRECK OF THE ORPHEUS.- In 1846, in Her Majesty's sloop Osprey, Captain Patten was wrecked off the same fatal bar. An interesting account of the encampment of her crew, and their march across the island of New Zealand, was written by the steward (Mr. H. Moon), and has been introduced by the Lords of the Admiralty into the seamen's libraries. The signal then was, "Take the bar, there is no danger."

THE ORPHEUS RELIEF FUND.- The widows and relatives of the crew of Her Majesty's late ship Orpheus, who have been paid allotments for the month of April from the relief fund at the Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, are requested to attend at the college at 11 o'clock on Friday morning, the 29th of May, when they will be paid the allotments for the month of May. Any other applications for relief from the fund will be considered at the same time.

MELBOURNE, JANUARY 25th.

… I may also mention in this place that since the disastrous wreck of the Orpheus the entrance into Manukau harbour has been re-surveyed, and carefully, and, I am informed, rather profusely buoyed, so that the steamers engaged in the inter-provincial trade, and those in communication with the General, pass into and out of that harbour with safety and with perfect confidence.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT TUNIS.

(From the Malta Times, November 10th.) It is with feelings of the deepest sorrow that we have to announce in our columns to-day an awful calamity which has befallen a number of brave officers and men of Her Majesty's ship Orlando. The afflicting tidings reached us by the French steamer Du Trembly, arrived this morning from Tunis, that one of the boats of the above ship bad been upset in a squall, by which no less than eight of her officers, three seamen, and a marine lost their lives. All the men-of-war in port, including the French frigate Cacque, immediately hoisted their flags half-mast high, and a like testimony of regret and mourning was shown by many of the merchant ships in harbour as soon as the lamentable event became more generally known. The following are the particulars of this catastrophe, which will cast many families into mourning:-It appears that on the morning of the 3d inst. a cutter, having on board the following officers:- Lieutenant Still, Surgeon Wood, Captain Pritchard, Royal Marines, Midshipmen De Gama, Fielding, and Kemble, Master's-Assistant Hadrill, and Assistant-Paymaster Stratford, together with four seamen and one marine, left the ship on a picnic party, and while returning at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, under sail, a sudden squall struck the boat when about a thousand yards from the shore, and upset it. Seeing that all hope of assistance was impossible, one of the seamen struck out for the shore, and was the only man saved. Ha was found the next morning completely exhausted, and in a state of nudity, in an Arab hut, by another cutter of the Orlando, which, in tow of the French frigate Invincible's steam launch, had been sent in search of the missing boat. Up to the last accounts, nothing else had been found but a jacket belonging to Mr. Fielding and a portion of the mast of the boat, notwithstanding the Orlando and gunboat Tyrian had been searching under steam for the missing bodies. The Orlando is expected here at the end of the week. The sudden calamity has created universal sympathy in Tunis. All the foreign representatives displayed their flags half-mast, and waited upon the English Consul-General to express their condolence and respect for the memory of so many brave officers and men appertaining to Her Majesty's naval forces, whose untimely death has deprived their Sovereign and their country of their valuable service. The Commandant Chevalier of His Imperial Majesty's ship Inflexible, senior officer of the French Emperor's ships in those waters, also waited on Her Majesty's representative for the same purpose, and the French Consul-General wrote besides a very feeling letter of condolence on the melancholy occasion. His Highness the Bey also conveyed his sympathy and condolence, and gave strict order to the authorities on the coast to protect any of the bodies of the victims that might be washed ashore, and to report immediately any such occurrence to the Bey's Government. It is a circumstance of melancholy interest to know that Mr. Fielding, one of the unfortunate young officers who perished on this occasion, was one of the few survivors of the lamentable wreck of Her Majesty's ship Orpheus on the coast of New Zealand.

"Bryan and Clement Broughton had emigrated to the western arm of Queen Charlotte Sound on the South Island. Clement had settled in Anakiwa and become a sheep farmer. Bryan, too, was almost certainly engaged in farming, exploiting the knowledge he had acquired at the Royal Agricultural College in Cirencester in 1853/4, where he had obtained a Diploma, coming first in the Order of Merit and having his name placed on the College’s Honours board. He had married Maria Theresa Downes, at Picton, Marlborough, in January 1861.

After playing cricket in Picton on 21 April 1862, Bryan Broughton was sailing home between Picton and Onahau Bay when a heavy squall arose and he was drowned, aged 24, leaving a wife and a three-month-old baby daughter (Broughton Bay in Keneperu Sound was subsequently named after him).

Valley Of The Kings, Neferkare Setepenre Ramesses IX Tomb, Egypt. by PHOTOGRAPHY by DM & DBM.

3

Neferkare Setepenre Ramesses IX (also written Ramses) (originally named Amon-her-khepshef Khaemwaset) (ruled 1129–1111 BC) was the eighth pharaoh of the Twentieth Dynasty of Egypt. He was the third longest serving king of this Dynasty after Ramesses III and Ramesses XI. He is now believed to have assumed the throne on I Akhet day 21 based on evidence presented by Jürgen von Beckerath in a 1984 GM article. According to the latest archaeological information, Ramesses IX died in Regnal Year 19 I Peret day 27 of his reign. Therefore, he enjoyed a reign of 18 years, 4 months and 6 days. His throne name, Neferkare Setepenre, means "Beautiful Is The Soul of Re, Chosen of Re." Ramesses IX is believed to be the son of Mentuherkhepeshef, a son of Ramesses III, since Mentuherkhopshef's wife, the lady Takhat bears the prominent title of King's Mother on the walls of tomb KV10, which she usurped and reused in the late 20th Dynasty; no other 20th Dynasty king is known to have had a mother with this name. Ramesses IX was, therefore, probably a grandson of Ramesses III.

His reign is best known for the year 16 and year 17 tomb robbery trials, recorded in the Abbott Papyrus, the Papyrus Leopold II, Papyrus BM 10054 and on the recto of both Papyrus BM 10053 and Papyrus BM 10068. It has been suggested that the undated Papyrus Mayer B, dealing with the plundering of the tomb of Ramesses VI, may also stem from his reign.

During these trials it became clear that several royal and noble tombs in the Western Theban Necropolis had been robbed, including that of a 17th Dynasty king, Sobekemsaf II. Paser, Mayor of Eastern Thebes or Karnak, accused his subordinate Paweraa, the Mayor of West Thebes responsible for the safety of the necropolis, of being either culpable in this wave of robberies or negligent in his duties of protecting the Valley of the Kings from incursions by tomb robbers. Paweraa played a leading part in the vizierial commission set up to investigate, and, not surprisingly, it proved impossible for Paweraa to be officially charged with any crime due to the circumstantiality of the evidence. Paser disappeared from sight soon after the report was filed.

White Arches of Aberfan (Child Memorials) by Simon Downham

3 3

In February 2012 my wife and I took a break in the Welsh Valleys and paid a visit to the cemetery in the village of Aberfan. I was only nine years old when disaster struck this coal mining community. I was a similar age to the 116 children who lost their lives on that morning of 21st October 1966, when a mountainous avalanche of coal mining waste, buried their school.

The news coverage of that dreadful event echoed throughout Britain and around the world. Horrific images of the event were burned in my psyche. As a young child my heart went out to the people of Aberfan. Memories of their suffering and distress, remain vivid, in my memory.

When I read the inscriptions on the gravestones, the deep emotional loss experienced by those grieving parents, strikes home. They were fully justified in feeling outraged at the authorities, who had the power to prevent the tragedy, but were negligent. However there is no bitterness expressed on these memorials.

Instead, the messages here, reflect only shock, sadness, grief, love and hope. The sentiments are deeply personal and shared with us (the public). It was a humbling privilege to be included, to share in these parting thoughts and wishes.

I noted some recurring themes in the memorial messages. Certainly there was, powerful and enduring affection for those that had been lost. There was also a common sense of bewilderment, begging the question, why? Why did this have to happen? Some seemed committed to the belief that God may have taken their children as angels to heaven. In my experience, this concept is something that divides opinion with strong feelings. Whilst it is understandable that some seek solace from this idea, others might feel uncomfortable with it. They may ask, 'does a loving God do such things i.e. snatch children away from their parents, just to enlarge his own family?'

A child’s untimely death brings great sadness, hurt, and pain. What hope, then, do grieving parents have? According to the Bible writers (inspired by Holy Spirit) there will be a future resurrection on a paradise earth when beloved family members will be reunited. For example, in the Bible book of Acts 24:15 we read, " and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." And at John 5:28 we read, "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice". There are many other references that, when put together and seen in context, provide a picture for genuine hope.

Freeza by pixgraff

7 1

フリーザ Furīza

Cierto día estableció contacto con la raza Saiyajin. Dada la afición de estos seres a la lucha, Freeza decidió comprarles los planetas que conquistaran, y los mantuvo a su servicio un tiempo. Sin embargo, su mayor temor era que fuera cierta la Leyenda del Super Saiyajin, así que por seguridad decidió destruir el Planeta Vegeta, aunque se salvaron los Saiyajin Raditz, Paragus, Turles, Broly, Nappa, el Príncipe Vegeta, el Príncipe Table y Kakarotto.Existen dos versiones de cómo sucedió esto:

* Freeza se enfrentó previamente al Rey Vegeta, al que venció sin ninguna dificultad, y posteriormente destruyó al planeta. Esto se ve durante recuerdos, exclusivamente en el anime.

* Freeza mandó aniquilar primero a todos los Saiyajin que habían salido en misiones al exterior excepto a Raditz, Vegeta y Nappa, a quienes mintió para controlarlos. Más tarde destruyó al planeta, y al resto de Saiyajin, con una bola de energía destruye planetas llamada Death Ball. Paragus, Turles, Broly y Kakarotto sobrevivieron gracias a que no se sabia nada de su ubicación.

Lo cierto es que hizo creer a los supervivientes que su planeta había sido destruido por un enorme meteorito; curiosamente, algunos dioses como Kaiō Sama llegaron a creerse esta versión, o posiblemente mintio sobre ese suceso para evitar que Goku se enfrentara a Freeza. Dodoria, uno de los guardaespaldas de Freeza, junto con Zarbon, le revelo esto a Vegeta cuando él estaba a punto de matarlo, y le suplico piedad. A Vegeta pareció no importarle nada y lo destruyo a Dodoria, pero en realidad ahí despertó su gran odio hacia Freeza, sabiendo que lo habían usado todo ese tiempo.

Tras la derrota de Raditz en la Tierra contra Piccolo y Son Gokū, tanto Freeza como Vegeta escucharon por el rastreador que era cierta la leyenda de las Dragon Balls, así que decidieron viajar a Namek, cada uno por su cuenta, para pedirle al Dragón Sagrado la inmortalidad. Freeza llegó a reunir todas las Dragon Balls, pero no consiguió invocar al Dragón ya que había que pedirle el deseo a Polunga en el idioma de Namek. En un descuido, Vegeta le robó las Dragon Balls y se alió con Gohan, Krilin y Dende con el propósito de hacerse inmortal para vencer a Freeza. Freeza los descubrió y mandó tras ellos a las Fuerzas Especiales Ginyū.

Freeza descubrió a Gohan, Krilin y Vegeta cuando pedían los deseos, Vegeta peleo contra el pero no pudo vencerle cuando Freeza hizo su primera transformación. Después de esto, Freeza Tortura y hiere de muerte a Krillin de un modo cruel (Lo ensartó con su cuerno y jugó un rato con él clavado) Piccolo llego a ayudarles luego de fusionarse con Neil, primero la pelea esta pareja, pero después Piccolo revela todo su poder, esta era muy superior a la primera transformación de Freeza, que tenía 1.000.000 de poder de pelea. Entonces Freeza se da a conocer en su segunda transformación, superando el poder de Piccolo y dándole una paliza. Freeza no dura mucho en su segunda transformación, después de esto revela todo su poder.

Su tercera transformación tenía aspecto inofensiva, infantil, pero que después, haciendo ver su poder, seria mucho más poderosa que las demás. Mientras tanto, Vegeta, lleno de ambición por convertirse en el legendario Super Saiyajin, le pide a Krilin que intente matarlo, porque los Saiyajins tienen la habilidad de aumentar su poder cuando se recuperan de una situación cercana a la muerte. Krilin lo hace con mucha dificultad, ya que no quería que Vegeta se haga más fuerte, pero lo termina haciendo. Vegeta, curado por Dende, decide enfrentarse a Freeza. Estaba seguro de que ahora el era el legendario Super Saiyajin, pero no alcanza ni a hacerle daño alguno al máximo poder de Freeza.

Al fin llega Gokū, Freeza utiliza el Death Beam o Rayo Mortal ante un Vegeta muy mal herido, provocándole la muerte. Vegeta, antes de morir, le revela a Gokū que Freeza fue el verdadero culpable de la destrucción del planeta Vegeta, y, por lo tanto, de su padre, Bardock, y todos los Saiyajins. Gokū decide pelear con todas sus fuerzas pero a pesar de que le da algunos golpes a Freeza, este le da una paliza y solo peleando a la 4ta parte de su poder, y Gokū usando el kaioh ken x20. Goku se decide a hacer la Genkidama con toda la energía del Planeta Namek y los demás planetas cercanos. Esta Genkidama pareció acabar con Freeza, pero Freeza logro esquivarla, primero quiso atacar a Gokū con su Death Beam, pero Picollo se interpone a costa de quedar muy malherido. Luego mata a Krilin, su muerte logra que Gokū desate toda su ira y se convierta en la etapa tan ansiada por Vegeta, el Super Saiyajin. A partir de ahí, Gokú le da una paliza a Freeza peleando. Con esto, Freeza se enoja y eleva su poder al máximo, aumentando su masa muscular considerablemente. Ahí, la pelea es pareja, llegando a ser una de las más espectaculares de la serie. Hasta que Gokú supera a Freeza, que al usar el 100% de su poder no lo logra controlar y comienza a perder poder, Freeza que con una bola de energía va a hacer estallar el planeta, después de un corto plazo de tiempo. Namek estaba a punto de estallar. Freeza uso dos Tsuibi Kienzan, pero cae al suelo en medio de la pelea, cuando se va a levantar, uno de los dos Tsuibi Kienzan lo parte por la mitad, Gokū le grita para advertirle pero es demasiado tarde. Queda cortado ya sin poder pelear, al irse Gokú le da un poco de energía para que pueda escapar, pero Freeza la desperdicia atacando a Gokú quien le devuelve el ataque.

Después de un año es reconstruido en forma de cyborg por su padre, King Cold. Al llegar a la Tierra se llevó la sorpresa de que Gokú no era el único Super Saiyajin; Trunks, hijo de Vegeta y Bulma, vino del futuro y derrotó sin ningún problema a Freeza, a su padre y a su ejército con la ayuda de su espada y de sus poderes de Super Saiyajin.

Se lo ve junto a su padre King Cold, Cell, Dr. Gero y otros villanos en el Infierno observando con una bola de cristal el último enfrentamiento entre Gokū y Vegeta contra Majin Boo, deseándole suerte a Boo. Esto sólo pasa en el anime (en el manga, el infierno no existe, o al menos, los malvados no conservan el cuerpo al morir).

QUOTE….“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but someday the piecing together of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying vistas of reality, and of our frightful position therin, that we shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age. ….” From The Call of Cthulhu by Howard Philip Lovecraft

Union Carbide pesticide factory, Bhopal, India. by Bhopal Medical Appeal

2

Exterior view of the Union Carbide pesticide factory scene of the world's worst industrial disaster.

Interior shot of the factory before it was stripped of some of its most valuable components and subsequently abandoned to the elements.

The factory remains ruined and abandoned to this day and there are approximately 350 Metric tonnes of highly toxic waste stored above ground.

Of greater concern are the many thousands of tonnes of toxic waste that were buried, in an untreated state, on the site.

Rain water runs through his waste, along with the remains of the abandoned solar evaporation ponds, and leaches toxic chemicals in to the local ground water aquifer.

The toxic plume has now spread for miles from the factory and many thousands of impoverished people have been using it, for decades, as their primary water supply.

ni ama ni esclava

primero en lengua argentina

Este viernes, para variar, nos venimos RABIOSAS, eso quiere decir, llenas de energías para la lucha.

Necesitamos recordar que el machismo, la misoginia – odio hacia las mujeres – y el femicidio - asesinato de mujeres - siguen casi tan activos como entonces.

Por un lado nos preguntamos si deberíamos estar contentas de que en Chile, el Sr. Alfredo Cabrera Opazo[1] haya sido condenado a perpetua por tirar a su hija Javierita, de 7 años, por el balcón. El asesino tenía la intención de castigar más fuertemente a Claudia, con quien estaba casado y madre de la niña, quien yacía en el piso inmóvil por los golpes q este sujeto le había propinado y casi matado.

Nos preguntamos si deberíamos estar contentas porque este caso es uno más de violencia estructural que una condena no cambia. Es más que obvio que estamos satisfechas con la resolución del caso, pero lo que nos genera RABIA, ergo, continuar en la lucha, es saber y tener conciencia que mientras se conocían los resultados, estaban siendo asesinadas otras Javieritas y otras Claudias estaban siendo atacadas violentamente.

Mientras tanto en Argentina, a Ana María Acevedo, le prohibían la posibilidad de abortar; tenía 3 hijxs menores de 5 años y estaba con cáncer. Lxs 3 habían nacido con cesárea, la posibilidad de una cuarta, implicaría un grave riesgo, pero el mandato rezaba no abortarás. Anteriormente le habían prohibido a Ana María que se hiciera una ligadura de trompas. Queda en evidencia el salvaje sistema en el que las mujeres estamos expuestas. Pero esto no es todo, “justificando” su embarazo, le fue negado su derecho a una quimioterapia. Queremos gritar, una vez más, nuestra rabia por una sociedad patriarcal, clasista y misógina. Ana María no solamente era muy pobre, también era analfabeta y desconocía sus derechos. Ella murió el jueves 17 de mayo, sólo tenía 20 años. ¿Hay derecho a dejar huerfanitxs a niñxs de 1, 3 y 4 años de edad?

¡Saquen sus rosarios de nuestros ovarios, carajo!

Nos sigue dando rabia escuchar que porque haya una Condolezza sentada en el poder de gringolandya, haya personas que confundan ESO con avance, que piensen que el mundo hoy es más justo e igual para hombres y mujeres y que el machismo es cosa del pasado.

Lo que relatábamos arriba no son pequeños extractos de la sección policial del diario, son pequeñas ilustraciones de nuestras vidas, lo que sucede es que esas cosas no son noticia para la prensa común, pero para nosotras SÍ. Tendremos que visibilizar siempre estos casos para poder cambiar nuestra realidad, la de todas las personas sin distinción de sexos ni géneros.

Creemos que aún se desconoce lo que es el feminismo. Muchas personas aún siguen creyendo que es el opuesto al machismo. Decidimos que nuestra comidita de hoy trajera servida de forma tentadora en un plato, una especie de racconto de los comienzos del feminismo y de algunas de sus líneas. Lo hacemos de las manos de nuestras compañeras anarkistas y junto con ellas nos preguntamos de qué avance hablamos y de qué mujeres. ¿De las que observan la vida sentadas desde sus sillones, contentas de que sus maridos sepan diferenciar el detergente del suavizante? O ¿de las que queremos cambiar la sociedad de una forma estructural en la que ninguna de las partes sea la beneficiaria por encima de otra clase o categoría social?

Recordemos ahora y siempre

Educación sexual para decidir, anticonceptivos para no abortar, aborto legal para no morir.

No entramos en la discusión si el feto tiene vida o no. Vemos, nos vemos, muriendo por la cantidad de abortos clandestinos que se realizan. Recordemos que las mujeres con dinero eligen si abortan o no, las

pobres, no tienen con qué elegir. Por eso el tema del aborto es una cuestión de clases.

28 de mayo Día mundial de acción por la salud de las mujeres

Las compañeras de la Marcha Mundial de Mujeres nos enviaron la actividad que estarán haciendo en San Pablo : Acción en defensa del Aborto legal y seguro

Una condición para la garantía da autonomía y salud de las mujeres. Se realizará el lanzamiento del Comité de Lucha por la Legalización del Aborto.

“Estaremos en las calles debatiendo con la gente y explicando nuestras posiciones”.

Lunes 28 de mayo, 16 horas.

Plaza Ramos de Azevedo, en frente al Teatro Municipal.

Y ya que hablamos de las calles y de movilizaciones, es de destacar lo que fue este miércoles 23 en Brasil, Día Nacional de Luchas. Lo que para la prensa burguesa y capitalista es un “incómodo” para nosotrxs es una fiesta. Es la reacción, más vale tarde que nunca, de los movimientos sociales en Brasil: “Llegó la hora de asumir y tomar las calles. Parar las fábricas, cortar las rutas y ocupar los latifundios.”[2] Unos días atrás, los estudiantes de la Universidad de San Pablo tomaron la rectoría para luchar contra el deterioro de la enseñanza pública. A diferencia de otros momentos, se nota una lucha más libertaria y más independiente de partidos. ¿Será por eso que trajeron nuevamente las “viejas” canciones de los años 70’ ? Raúl Seixas, estaba presente en los carteles de la Av. Paulista: "Yo soy la mosca que se paro en tu sopa".

Quien sabe estamos comenzando una nova fase en Brasil, mucho más que ver com algunos países de América Latina.

Mas, necessitamos recordar sempre que o machismo, a misoginia – ódio às mulheres – e o femicidio – assassinato de mulheres – seguem quase tão ativos como antes.

A gente se pergunta se deveríamos estar contentes de que no Chile, o Sr. Alfredo Cabrera Opazo[3] tenha sido condenado a perpétua por jogar sua filha Javierita, de 7 anos, pela sacada. O assassino tinha a intenção de castigar mais brutalmente a Claudia, com quem estava casado e era mãe da menina, e que jazias imóvel no chão, quase morta, pelos golpes que tinha sofrido do sujeito.

Infelizmente, nossa consciência não nos permite apenas festejar essa condenação. Este caso é mais uma manifestação estrutural de violência que apenas uma condenação não pode mudar. É óbvio que estamos satisfeitas com a resolução do caso, mas o que gera mais RAIVA, é saber e ter a consciência de que enquanto se conheciam os resultados, outras Javieritas estavam sendo assassinadas e outras Claudias estavam sendo violentamente agredidas.

Enquanto isso, na Argentina proibiam a Ana María Acevedo a possibilidade de abortar; tinha 3 filxs menores de 5 anos e estava com câncer. Xs 3 haviam nascido por cesárea, a possibilidade de uma quarta, implicaria em risco grave, mas o mandato rezava não abortarás. Anteriormente haviam proibido a Ana María de fazer uma ligadura de trompas. Fica evidenciado o sistema selvagem em que as mulheres estamos expostas. Mas isso não é tudo, “justificando” por sua gravidez, foi negado seu direito a uma quimioterapia. Queremos gritar, uma vez mais, nossa raiva contra a sociedade patriarcal, classista e misógina. Ana Maria não era apenas muito pobre, também era analfabeta e desconhecia seus direitos. Ela morreu na quinta, 17 de maio, tinha apenas 20 anos. Existe direito no ato de deixar órfãs a crianças de 1, 3 e 4 anos de idade?

Tirem seus rosários de nossos ovários!

Continua nos enraivecendo quando escutamos pessoas que consideram que haver uma Condolezza sentada no poder da gringolandya represente um avanço, que pensem que o mundo hoje é mais justo e igual para homens e mulheres e que o machismo é coisa do passado.

O que relatamos acima, não são pequenos extratos da seção policial do diário, são pequenas ilustrações de nossas vidas, o que sucede é que essas coisas não são notícia para a imprensa comum, mas para nós SIM. Temos que visibilizar sempre esses casos para poder mudar nossa realidade, a de todas as pessoas sem distinção de sexos, nem de gêneros.

Acreditamos que ainda se desconhece o que é feminismo. Muitas pessoas ainda acreditam que é o oposto do machismo. Decidimos que nosso ranguinho de hoje virá servido de forma tentadora sobre uma bandeja muito especial, uma espécie de resumo dos inícios do feminismo e de algumas de suas principais correntes. Essa bandeja virá carretada pelas irreverentes mãos de nossas companheiras anarkistas e em coro nos perguntamos: de que avanço estamos falando e de que mulheres? Das que observam a vida sentadas de suas poltronas, contentes de que seus maridos saibam diferenciar o detergente do amaciante? Ou das que queremos transformar a sociedade desde as estruturas, para que nenhuma das partes seja privilegiada sobre outra classe ou categoria social?

Recordemos agora e sempre:

Educação

sexual para decidir, anticoncepcionais para não abortar, aborto legal para não morrer.

Não entramos na discussão se o feto tem vida ou não. Vemos, nos vemos, morrendo pela quantidade de abortos clandestinos que se realizam. Recordemos que as mulheres com dinheiro podem escolher se abortam ou não, mas as pobres, não tem como escolher. Por isso o tema do aborto é uma questão de classe.

28 de maio Dia mundial de ação pela saúde das mulheres

As companheiras da Marcha Mundial de Mulheres nos enviaram a atividade que estarão fazendo em São Paulo : Ação em defesa do Aborto legal e seguro.

Uma condição para a garantia da autonomia e saúde das mulheres. Se realizará o lançamento do Comitê de Luta pela Legalização do Aborto.

“Estaremos nas ruas debatendo com as pessoas e explicando nossas posições”.

Segunda, 28 de maio, 16 horas.

Praça Ramos de Azevedo, em frente ao Teatro Municipal.

E já que falamos de ruas e de mobilizações, destacamos o que ocorreu nesta quarta-feira, 23, no Brasil, Dia Nacional de Lutas. O que para a imprensa burguesa e capitalista é um “incômodo para a vida da cidade” para nós é uma festa. É a reação, antes tarde do que nunca, dos movimentos sociais no Brasil: “É chegada a hora de botar o bloco na rua. Parar fábricas, fechar estradas e ocupar o latifúndio..”[4] Dias antes os estudantes da USP tomaram a reitoria para lutar contra a destruição do ensino público e, diferentemente de outros momentos, mais libertários e livres de partidos. Não é por nada que reintroduziram o maluco beleza, Raul Seixas, nas faixas que tremulavam na Av. Paulista: "Eu sou a mosca que pousou na sua sopa" .

Quem sabe estamos começando uma nova fase no Brasil para não fazer feio frente à América Latina.

Para seguir lendo, click aqui : enrebeldia.blogspot.com/

Voltamos a nos encontrar no 15 de junho já que dia 9 estaremos em São Paulo.

Um forte abraço para que a gente se encontre unidas na luta.

The Postcard

A Real Photograph Series postcard published by Boots Cash Chemists. The image is a glossy real photograph.

The card was posted in Buxton on Friday the 24th. June 1910 to:

John Surth,

I. I. Surth Esq.,

Melbourne Road,

Near Lincoln.

The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:

"Tell Mother that Aunt

Louisa's address is:

'Avondale',

Promenade,

Southport.

Best love for all.

Will write tomorrow.

Aunty".

Boots Cash Chemists, Ltd.

John Boot of Nottingham, England opened his first store in 1849 and began a tradition of serving the health needs of ordinary people as cheaply as he could.

After his son Jessie married Florence Rowe in 1886 the business began to greatly expand as she took interest in it. When the name was changed in 1888 to Boots Pure Drugs they began to sell all sorts of items, including postcards by the 1890’s.

These lithographic cards issued under the Pelham Series name included animals, art reproductions, patriotic themes, and view-cards. Many real photo cards were manufactured for them by Valentine’s.

As time went on the colors in their cards grew more intense until they gave them an easily recognizable look. Boots grew into a chain of more than 800 stores.

Volendam

Volendam is a small town in North Holland in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Edam-Volendam. The town has about 22,000 inhabitants (November 2007), and is twinned with Coventry in the UK.

Originally, Volendam was the location of the harbour of the nearby Edam. However in 1357, the inhabitants of Edam dug a shorter canal to the Zuiderzee with its own separate harbour.

This removed the need for Volendam's original harbour, which was then dammed and used for land reclamation. Farmers and local fishermen settled there, forming the new community of Volendam, which literally meant 'Filled dam'.

In the early part of the 20th. century Volendam became an artists' retreat, with both Picasso and Renoir spending time there.

The majority of the population belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, which is deeply connected to the village culture. Historically, many missionaries and bishops grew up in Volendam. Today there is the chapel of Our Lady of the Water, which is located in a village park.

The Volendam Café Fire

The Volendam New Year's café fire occurred during the 2000–2001 New Year's night. The fire began early on New Year's Day 2001 and caused the death of 14 young people. 241 people were admitted to hospital, 200 of whom suffered serious burns.

The fire took place in a building that housed three bars. On New Year's Eve it was packed with more than 350 young people between 13 and 22 years of age when a short blaze happened in the café De Hemel ("Heaven") which was located on the top floor after a sparkler hit Christmas decorations that hung from the ceiling. The temperature in the room reached 400 °C (752 °F). Many of the partygoers were wearing highly flammable synthetic fabrics which clung to their flesh as they melted and burned.

There was great panic and the heat, lack of oxygen and people falling over each other made escaping extremely difficult. There also were bars in front of the windows and there were too few emergency exits, all of which contributed to the high number of injuries.

Survivors stated that shortly after the fire began, all the lights went out, contributing to the panic.

The first report reached the Amsterdam ambulance service at 00:38 local time on the 1st. January. The first fire engine arrived at 00:46.

Mayor Frank IJsselmuiden claimed that the crowd had panicked because all but one of the emergency exits were blocked.

Many of those injured were hurt when they smashed windows and leapt from third and second floor windows in an attempt to escape the fire. Others including 53 injured individuals were admitted due to burns, with some being flown to special burns units in Belgium and Germany.

Investigation Into the Fire

The fire was initially investigated intensively by media and politicians. New rules were introduced for decorations in cafés, nightclubs and other venues. The owner and managers of the building were indicted for culpability.

An inquiry showed that the owner Jan Veerman had been negligent in providing escape routes, as well as failing to soak the Christmas decorations with a fire-resistant substance. Also there were too many people in the building at the time of the incident.

The owner was given a conditional prison sentence and community service. As a result of the inquiry Mayor of Edam-Volendam Frank IJsselmuiden and alderman Wim Visscher resigned their positions.

Tourism in Volendam

Volendam is a popular tourist destination. It is well-known for its old fishing boats and the traditional clothing still worn by some residents.

The women's costume of Volendam, with its high, pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes, and is often featured on tourist postcards and posters (although there are believed to be fewer than 50 women now wearing the costume as part of their daily lives, most of them elderly).

There is a regular ferry connection to Marken, a peninsula close by.

Volendam also features a small museum about its history and clothing style, and visitors can have their pictures taken in traditional Dutch costumes.

Volendam on Film

Volendam was a shooting location in Vikas Bahl's 2014 Bollywood film, Queen. The actors established an Indian food shop called Rani's Gol Gappa.

The owner was an Italian, Marco Canadea, as Marcello. The role of Queen was played by Indian actress Kangana Ranaut.

The film follows the story of Rani Mehra, a diffident Punjabi girl from New Delhi who embarks on her honeymoon to Paris and Amsterdam by herself after her fiancé calls off their wedding.

Queen is cited as a ground-breaking and an influential feminist film by many scholars. Over the years, the film has built a strong cult following. It was named as one of the best films of the decade (2010's) by multiple publications such as Paste and Film Companion.

Several publications such as O, The Oprah Magazine, and Cosmopolitan have named it as one of the best films of Indian Cinema. Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express named Queen as one of the 75 finest and most iconic films made in India in the last 70 years.

Music in Volendam

Volendam is well known for its distinctive music, which is called Palingsound (literally "Eel Sound") in reference to Volendam's status as fishing village.

During the 1960's, the local group The Cats was a very popular group in the Netherlands and abroad.

Another band from Volendam was BZN, which became popular in the late 1960's and early 1970's. In 1995 BZN performed a duet with the ten-year-old Jan Smit, who quickly became a celebrity in his own right.

The popular music groups 3JS and Nick & Simon are famously from Volendam; their members have all participated in local musical performances through the years.

The Wireless Act of 1910

So what else happened on the day that John's aunty posted the card?

Well, on the 24th. June 1910, President Taft signed the 'Wireless Act of 1910' into law. The Act required all ships carrying at least 50 persons to install radio communication by the 1st. July 1911.

Alfa Romeo

Also on that day, Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Autombili (ALFA) was founded in Milan. The automaker is now known by the name Alfa Romeo.

Walmart says it will kill plans to build 3 new stores if DC wage bill passes

July 09, 2013

FoxNews.com

Walmart says it will cancel its plans to build three new stores in D.C. if local lawmakers approve a bill that would force the retailer to pay its employees at least $12.50 an hour.

Alex Barron, a regional general manager for Walmart U.S., writes in an op-ed published in the Washington Post Tuesday that the company feels the D.C. Council's proposed "living wage" legislation “would clearly inject unforeseen costs into the equation that will create an uneven playing field and challenge the fiscal health of our planned D.C. stores.”

Walmart currently has three other new stores under construction in the area, and Barron says those stores will also be jeopardized if the bill passes.

The bill is backed by worker advocates and unions that say employees of big-box stores should earn a "living wage." It applies only to stores doing business in spaces of 75,000 feet or more. It would require such stores to pay every employee no less than $12.50 an hour, up from D.C.'s current minimum wage of $8.25.

The Washington Post reports a group of Walmart public relations executives and lobbyists informed lawmakers of their decision Tuesday.

It's About Time Walmart Waged An Ad Campaign Like This One

Dale Buss, Forbes Contributor

5/14/2013

It’s about time Walmart fielded a TV-advertising campaign that explains just why the stores are still so popular with Americans despite the disbelieving objections of elites that keep picking at the world’s biggest retailer for one reason after another.

By focusing in a clear-eyed way in its new campaign, “The Real Walmart,” on the strengths of the company and how they benefit various huge constituencies—American consumers, Walmart workers, and Walmart’s supply-chain participants—the brand has a good shot at engendering more of the endemic kind of cultural goodwill that perpetually has escaped it.

It’s one thing to be known as the king of everyday low prices, which has been Walmart’s positioning with U.S. consumers for decades. But these ads collectively make a broader and more comprehensive argument for the tremendous net positive that Walmart remains for the American economy.

“We have wanted to do this for a long time because we know that people trust Walmart even more when they understand the opportunities we provide our associates, who the customers are that shop with us and how we deliver low prices,” Bill Simon, president and CEO of Walmart US, said in a press release.

In some ways, such a campaign has indeed been a long time coming. As a mammoth entity that affects vast swaths of the U.S. economy right down to the purchasing power of millions of individual households, Walmart has always been an easy target for activists who often object to the company simply as a matter of scale and, just as often, to its small-town origins and the conservative bent of its founding family.

Over the years, of course, Walmart has been critiqued vigorously about its competitive effects on local small retailers where the chain sets up shop, its promotion policies for women, its wage scales, its environmental footprint, its desire to locate in inner cities, and its decisions to be culturally demure about stocking music and movies.

Studies have demonstrated that the typical American household saves as much as a few thousand dollars a year because of Walmart’s influence over retailing, whether they shop at Walmart at all, but it’s been easy for the chain’s many critics to overlook such a benefit while depicting the company as a corporate ogre.

A company as large as Walmart is always going to have culpabilities and vulnerabilities that critics can use to attempt to undermine its broadly positive claims; and it’s going to continue to be a popular target for media and for liberal NGOs. With its new U.S. advertising campaign, Walmart hopes it can help explain that the good the company does far outweighs the bad—and why.

Wal-Mart's wages drive employees onto public benefits, report says

June 07, 2013, Los Angeles Times

Wal-Mart Stores Inc. wages are so low they force many of its employees onto the public doles, creating a drag on taxpayers and the economy, according to a new report from the staff of congressional Democrats.

The report analyzes data from Wisconsin's Medicaid program, estimating that a single 300-person Wal-Mart Supercenter in that state likely costs taxpayers at least $904,542 per year and could cost up to $1,744,590 per year, or roughly $5,815 per employee.

"While employers like Wal-Mart seek to reap significant profits through the depression of labor costs, the social costs of this low-wage strategy are externalized," concludes the report's authors, the Democratic staff of the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce. "Low wages not only harm workers and their families — they cost taxpayers."

Titled "The Low-Wage Drag on Our Economy: Wal-Mart's Low Wages and Their Effect on Taxpayers and Economic Growth," the report is an update to a 2004 report. The revised version advocates for several measures, including reforming labor laws to make collective bargaining easier and raising the minimum wage.

The report analyzes data from Wisconsin because "it appears to be the most recent and comprehensive." The state released Medicaid enrollment by employer as of the fourth quarter of 2012.

Wal-Mart was first on the list with 3,216 employees enrolled in BadgerCare, the state's Medicaid program. Including the children and dependents of these employees, Wal-Mart accounts for 9,207 enrollees.

The report assumes that about a quarter of the store's employees enroll in other taxpayer-funded programs, including Section 8 housing, national school lunch programs, the earned-income tax credit and others.

Wal-Mart, in an analysis posted on its website, described the report as "flawed," criticizing the reliance on the data from Wisconsin to make "vast generalizations." In its rebuttal, the company said the report failed to take into account Wal-Mart's size and that the number of its workers on Medicaid is similar to other big retailers and comparable to the national average.

The company also notes that President Clinton's welfare reform law changed public welfare programs to focus on working families, increasing Medicaid eligibility by as much as 300% above the poverty line.

Concern over wages at Wal-Mart is not new. The company has a long history of discouraging unions from representing workers and has long been criticized because a chunk of its workforce is on public assistance.

In California, lawmakers are concerned that the public will get saddled with even bigger expenses from Wal-Mart employees as the federal health care law expands. Legislators in the Golden State are calling for fines that could reach about $6,000 for every full-time employee who ends up on Medi-Cal, the state's Medicaid program for the poor.

Walmart Pleads Guilty to Federal Environmental Crimes, Admits Civil Violations, and Will Pay More Than $81 Million

U.S. Department of Justice

May 28, 2013

Retailer Admits Violating Criminal and Civil Laws Designed to Protect Water Quality and to Ensure Proper Handling of Hazardous Wastes and Pesticides

Walmart Stores Inc. pleaded guilty today in cases filed by federal prosecutors in Los Angeles and San Francisco to six counts of violating the Clean Water Act by illegally handling and disposing of hazardous materials at its retail stores across the United States. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based company also pleaded guilty today in Kansas City, Missouri, to violating the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) by failing to properly handle pesticides that had been returned by customers at its stores across the country.

As a result of the three criminal cases brought by the Justice Department, as well as a related civil case filed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Walmart will pay approximately $81.6 million for its unlawful conduct. Coupled with previous actions brought by the states of California and Missouri for the same conduct, Walmart will pay a combined total of more than $110 million to resolve cases alleging violations of federal and state environmental laws.

According to documents filed in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, from a date unknown until January 2006, Walmart did not have a program in place and failed to train its employees on proper hazardous waste management and disposal practices at the store level. As a result, hazardous wastes were either discarded improperly at the store level—including being put into municipal trash bins or, if a liquid, poured into the local sewer system—or they were improperly transported without proper safety documentation to one of six product return centers located throughout the United States.

“By improperly handling hazardous waste, pesticides, and other materials in violation of federal laws, Walmart put the public and the environment at risk and gained an unfair economic advantage over other companies,” said Ignacia S. Moreno, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Environment and Natural Resources Division. “Today, Walmart acknowledged responsibility for violations of federal laws and will pay significant fines and penalties, which will, in part, fund important environmental projects in the communities impacted by the violations and help prevent future harm to the environment.”

Wal-Mart Meeting Spurs Protests Over Low Pay, Safety Issues

June 07, 2013, NPR.org

Retailing giant Wal-Mart Stores' annual shareholders' meeting this week showed signs of the company's recent turbulence, as protesters assembled at corporate headquarters to shout slogans and demands.

Despite a court-issued restraining order, the protesters, including workers who are on strike, decried low wages and called for better safety procedures for supply-chain workers. And some of their views were heard inside the meeting, as well. The strikers were in Bentonville, Ark., with the support of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union and the labor group OUR Walmart.

Wal-Mart employs more than 2 million people around the world, according to the company. It generated sales of around $466 billion in fiscal year 2013.

Despite appearances by celebrities Hugh Jackman, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, and Tom Cruise, Wal-Mart's 2013 meeting brought serious concerns along with the company's celebration.

"This year's shareholders' meeting comes at a time of turmoil for the world's largest retailer, which finds itself dealing with empty shelves, labor unrest, bribery scandals and tumbling sales," as Daily Finance reports.

Another process to soften the stool would be to include psyllium (Metamucil in the adult globe) to his eating routine. 50 percent a teaspoon two times a day, in addition to drinking a lot of h2o, will suffice. A third solution would be mineral oil. This could be employed in circumstances the place there is a enormous develop-up of challenging stool. Two teaspoons, 2 times a day should really be extra to his meal, but for only a week. There are a few other guidelines you can acquire to relieve your dog's constipation. Retain his foods moist by including a bit of h2o. If your dog is having on in years, add some raw meat and vegetables to his weight-reduction plan.

There are sure indicators which can inform you to likely issues, and for which you can acquire rapid tips. Prolonged hair on puppies can contribute to feces to turn out to be entangled consequently, continue to keep your canine accurately groomed. Dogs are inclined to eat all in sight, be sure no bones or other material has been ingested. Just as we practical experience constipation because of to specific drugs, canines are no exception. Psychological stress and anxiety is a second indicator relating to constipation.

Despite the fact that it has been recommended that all breeds and puppies of any age are prone to constipation, there are other elements which you could require to bear in mind, and for which a large number of dog proprietors are culpable. Practically never feed your puppy from the dinner table. Even when you may well indulge the canine with a couple of scraps right here and there, you are contributing to his constipation.

Meals that contain flour, sugar, rice, dairy and higher protein are the essential source of the challenge. Ice cream, cookies, bread, chocolate, or other unhealthy meals goods can induce your puppy unwanted discomfort. As outlined before, a lack of fiber and dehydration are prevalent brings about. An extra bring about for worry would be a affliction recognised as mega colon. This only would mean your dog has an inflamed colon which prevents the discharge of feces.

The time to go to the vet will developed into evident when your dog's inability to defecate is hampered by a diminished appetite, passing blood in minimal amounts, and over-all lethargy. Maintain in thoughts, contributing to the all round health and wellbeing of your canine will need to be of the utmost benefits. A dog's absolutely adore is unconditional, because of this, he or she is completely dependent upon you to preserve a healthier and harmonious existence. Be actually vigilant to any symptoms of tension and guarantee his weight loss program and physical exercise routine is acceptable and on-going.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY by Liz Jimenez

2 3

Dad, 40 years ago that I'm Daddy's girl, forty years ago you will become my best friend, my guide, throughout my life you taught me to face the challenges with a smile and failures with courage, when I was 5 years I was diagnosed with asthma and had to spend three Christmas in a row in the hospital, which was made memorable with a Christmas tree and gifts in the room :-) I remember when after one of your many business trips you gave me a KISS ALBUM , only you can gave a KISS ALBUM to a 6 years old girl!!! LOL, you leads me to my first concert (Queen) and my love for music in general and rock in particular born in that concert, I remember when we danced ABBA’s dancing queen song and I say we gonna dance that song on my wedding day, well not yet have been a wedding but I hope that there is still time for us to dance together, and if is not on my wedding day, we can dance each day that we are on this planet? When I was a teenager you taught me to face with courage the change from girl to woman, you talk to me about boys and sex without fear and with great respect, You taught me that while I am your Princess for the rest of the world I am just Liz and I need to show who is Liz to the world, you wipe out my tears with love in my first failure, You taught me how to show respect to myself and how to respect others, You taught me how to put my 100% into everything that was to be responsible, You smiled with every achievement along my 40 years and suffered with me and cries with me in every setback I had to overcome to become the woman I am today, You taught me with your example how to be a couple working in the relationship day by day, You show me the utmost respect you have to Mom encouraging her to go to college and get a college degree instead She had two children and a million responsibilities, You let me commit my own mistakes, and you were there to cheer me up, when I broke engagement after been cheated, You and Mom were my support and You told me and always would have better times, You taught me to forgive and not keep a grudge in my heart, when my former boyfriend came to ask for forgiveness for what He did, not just hear what He say to you, you forgave Him although he had hurt the most you love in the world, and that was a humbling experience for me, when I was diagnosed to remove my uterus even without having had children and millions of broken dreams, not to be converted to mother and you in grandparents' Your words were the only thing that helped me "no matter if there are no grandchildren Princess, it is important to be healthy and with me, for many years to come" , just you and your hugs and kisses helped me overcome it, when you spent all nights beside my bed to help me overcome the surgery and depression, when many years later I told you I had met someone online, you almost die from the shock, you were not accustomed to this new way to socialize, and when I told I took the decision to travel to meet him you can’t sleep for many nights, but never told me do not do it, hug me with all your heart and say it to me “take care”, when things did not work and come home hurt you hug me again and told me feel proud it’s not your fault that has not worked, but again without bad feelings to him although he would hurt your Princess, and again You cheer me up, and that encouraged me to draw strength from the weakness and try again, and You tell me to try again in real life and in the virtual life, out there in the vast world would someone who can appreciate my Princess, where earlier this year I told you I had met someone over the internet and I would try you say "you should try," and again when it does not work again, my hero was there to cheer me up, THANKS FOR BEING MY DAD, FOR YOUR LOVE FOR ME EVERY SINGLE DAY, FOR BEEN DADY’S GIRL FOR THE LAST 40 YEARS,FOR SHOW ME HOW PROUD OF ME YOU AND MOM ARE , I would not be who I am and could not have OVERCOME MANY difficult times in the counting of the years, I can only say that there are more good times than bad, that the ill have been very ill but surmountable if , taught me to think positively, and that the only life I strive for excellence in everything, not to be average and be proud of who I am, for that reasons and millions more DAD HAPPY FATHER'S DAY !!!!! I love you, I love, I love you, I love you , thanks for always being my light in the darkness, my guide, my counselor, my friend and my teacher.

Papi, hace 40 años que soy la niña de papá, hace cuarenta años te convertiste en mi mejor amigo, en mi guía, a lo largo de mi vida me enseñaste a enfrentar los retos con una sonrisa y los fracasos con valor, cuando a los 5 años me diagnosticaron con asma y tuve que pasar tres navidades seguidas en el hospital, hiciste que fuera inolvidable, con árbol de navidad y regalos en el cuarto , me acuerdo cuando después de uno de tus múltiples viajes de negocios que regresaste y me diste un disco de KISS solo a ti se le ocurriría regalarle un disco de KISS a una niña de 6 años, me llevaste a mi primer concierto (QUEEN) y de ahí nació mi amor por la música en general y el rock en particular, te acuerdas cuando bailábamos dancing queen de ABBA y me decías que esa canción la bailarías conmigo el día de mi boda, bueno todavía no ha habido una boda pero espero que todavía haya tiempo para que podamos bailarla juntos, y si no en mi boda por qué no cada día que estemos en este planeta??? Cuando adolescente me enseñaste a enfrentar con valor el cambio de niña a mujer, me hablaste de los niños y el sexo sin miedo y con mucho respeto, me enseñaste que aun siendo la princesa de papá para el resto del mundo solo era Liz y había que demostrar quién era Liz en el mundo, secaste mis lagrimas ante mi primer fracaso amoroso, me enseñaste a respetarme y respetar a los demás, a poner el 100% en cada cosa que hacía, a ser responsable, sonreíste con cada logro a lo largo de mis 40 años y lloraste y sufriste conmigo cada tropiezo que tuve que vencer para ser la mujer que hoy soy, me enseñaste con tu ejemplo que una relación de pareja se trabaja día a día, me enseñaste el enorme respeto que tienes por mami al alentarla a estudiar una carrera universitaria ya cuando tenían dos hijos y un millón de responsabilidades, me dejaste cometer mis propios errores, y estuviste ahí para consolarme, cuando rompí mi compromiso después de haber sido engañada fuiste la persona junto con mami que me ayudo a salir de la depresión en la que estaba y me dijiste y así fue que siempre habría tiempos mejores, me enseñaste a perdonar y a no guardar rencor en mi corazón, cuando mi antiguo novio vino a pedirte perdón por cómo me había tratado, no solo lo escuchaste sino que lo perdonaste a pesar que había lastimado lo que más amas en el mundo, y eso fue una lección de humildad para mi, cuando me diagnosticaron para remover mi útero aun sin haber tenido hijos y millones de sueños rotos, por no poder ser madre y convertirlos a ustedes en abuelos tus palabras fueron lo único que me ayudo a no caer “ no importa princesa si no hay nietos, lo importante es que estarás sana y conmigo por muchos años más” aun cuando me sentía que yo era la culpable que había fallado como mujer e hija, solo tú y tus abrazos y besos me ayudaron a superarlo, cuando te pasabas noches completas junto a mi cama para ayudarme a superar la operación y la depresión, cuando muchos años después te conté que había conocido a alguien por internet casi te mueres del susto, tu no estabas acostumbrado a esta nueva forma de relacionarte, y cuando te dije que viajaría conocerlo no dormiste por noches enteras, pero nunca me dijiste no lo hagas, me abrazaste con todas tus fuerzas y me dijiste cuídate mucho, cuando las cosas no funcionaron y regrese a casa lastimada me volviste a abrazar y me dijiste siéntete orgullosa tu siempre fuiste buena no es tu culpa que no haya funcionado, otra vez sin rencor aunque hubieran lastimado a tu niña, y otra vez fuiste el hombro en el cual llorar por algo que no fue, pero que pudo haber sido, y el que me alentó a sacar fuerzas de la flaqueza y a volver a intentarlo, y fuiste el primero en decirme inténtalo otra vez en la vida real y en la virtual seguro allá en el inmenso mundo habrá alguien que pueda valorar a mi princesa, cuando a principios de este año te dije que había conocido a alguien otra vez por internet y que me gustaría intentarlo me dijiste “adelante inténtalo” y cuando otra vez no funciono otra vez mi héroe estuvo ahí para consolarme, PAPA MIL GRACIAS POR SER MI PAPA, POR EL AMOR QUE ME DAS CADA DIA DE MI VIDA, POR QUE TODAVIA HOY CON 40 AÑOS SIGO SIENDO LA NIÑA DE PAPA, Y POR QUE CADA DIA QUE PASA MAMI Y TU ME DEMUESTRAN LO ORGULLOSOS QUE ESTAN DE MI, YO NO SERIA QUIEN SOY Y NO HUBIERA PODIDO SUPERAR TANTOS MOMENTOS DIFICILES, en el recuento de los años solo me queda decir que son más los buenos momentos que los malos, que los malos han sido muy malos si pero superables, me enseñaste a pensar en positivo , y que en la vida solo debo buscar la excelencia en todo, a no ser mediocre y estar orgullosa de quien soy, por eso y por millones de cosas más FELIZ DIA DEL PADRE PAPI!!!!! Te amo te amo te amo gracias por siempre ser mi faro en la oscuridad, mi guía, mi consejero, mi amigo y mi maestro.

About 270 soldiers in a Fort Lewis helicopter unit are scheduled to return home today [August 26, 2008] after a 15-month deployment in Iraq.

The Army says the 4th Squadron, 6th Air Cavalry killed 135 enemies and wounded 56 in combat.

The unit deployed with more than 600 soldiers in May 2007 and was stationed in northern Iraq. The remaining soldiers will return through September. The unit flew UH-58 Kiowa Warriors and UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters in air attack and support operations out of forward operating bases.

The welcome-home ceremony is scheduled in a hangar at Gray Army Airfield.

Why Iraq was a Mistake by Gregory Newbold

Why Iraq Was a Mistake

By Lieut. General Greg Newbold (Ret.)

Two senior military officers are known to have challenged Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld on the planning of the Iraq war. Army General Eric Shinseki publicly dissented and found himself marginalized. Marine Lieut. General Greg Newbold, the Pentagon's top operations officer, voiced his objections internally and then retired, in part out of opposition to the war. Here, for the first time, Newbold goes public with a full-throated critique:

In 1971, the rock group The Who released the antiwar anthem Won't Get Fooled Again. To most in my generation, the song conveyed a sense of betrayal by the nation's leaders, who had led our country into a costly and unnecessary war in Vietnam. To those of us who were truly counterculture--who became career members of the military during those rough times--the song conveyed a very different message. To us, its lyrics evoked a feeling that we must never again stand by quietly while those ignorant of and casual about war lead us into another one and then mismanage the conduct of it. Never again, we thought, would our military's senior leaders remain silent as American troops were marched off to an ill-considered engagement. It's 35 years later, and the judgment is in: the Who had it wrong. We have been fooled again.

From 2000 until October 2002, I was a Marine Corps lieutenant general and director of operations for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. After 9/11, I was a witness and therefore a party to the actions that led us to the invasion of Iraq--an unnecessary war. Inside the military family, I made no secret of my view that the zealots' rationale for war made no sense. And I think I was outspoken enough to make those senior to me uncomfortable. But I now regret that I did not more openly challenge those who were determined to invade a country whose actions were peripheral to the real threat--al-Qaeda. I retired from the military four months before the invasion, in part because of my opposition to those who had used 9/11's tragedy to hijack our security policy. Until now, I have resisted speaking out in public. I've been silent long enough.

I am driven to action now by the missteps and misjudgments of the White House and the Pentagon, and by my many painful visits to our military hospitals. In those places, I have been both inspired and shaken by the broken bodies but unbroken spirits of soldiers, Marines and corpsmen returning from this war. The cost of flawed leadership continues to be paid in blood. The willingness of our forces to shoulder such a load should make it a sacred obligation for civilian and military leaders to get our defense policy right. They must be absolutely sure that the commitment is for a cause as honorable as the sacrifice.

With the encouragement of some still in positions of military leadership, I offer a challenge to those still in uniform: a leader's responsibility is to give voice to those who can't--or don't have the opportunity to--speak. Enlisted members of the armed forces swear their oath to those appointed over them; an officer swears an oath not to a person but to the Constitution. The distinction is important.

Before the antiwar banners start to unfurl, however, let me make clear--I am not opposed to war. I would gladly have traded my general's stars for a captain's bars to lead our troops into Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban and al-Qaeda. And while I don't accept the stated rationale for invading Iraq, my view--at the moment--is that a precipitous withdrawal would be a mistake. It would send a signal, heard around the world, that would reinforce the jihadists' message that America can be defeated, and thus increase the chances of future conflicts. If, however, the Iraqis prove unable to govern, and there is open civil war, then I am prepared to change my position.

I will admit my own prejudice: my deep affection and respect are for those who volunteer to serve our nation and therefore shoulder, in those thin ranks, the nation's most sacred obligation of citizenship. To those of you who don't know, our country has never been served by a more competent and professional military. For that reason, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's recent statement that "we" made the "right strategic decisions" but made thousands of "tactical errors" is an outrage. It reflects an effort to obscure gross errors in strategy by shifting the blame for failure to those who have been resolute in fighting. The truth is, our forces are successful in spite of the strategic guidance they receive, not because of it.

What we are living with now is the consequences of successive policy failures. Some of the missteps include: the distortion of intelligence in the buildup to the war, McNamara-like micromanagement that kept our forces from having enough resources to do the job, the failure to retain and reconstitute the Iraqi military in time to help quell civil disorder, the initial denial that an insurgency was the heart of the opposition to occupation, alienation of allies who could have helped in a more robust way to rebuild Iraq, and the continuing failure of the other agencies of our government to commit assets to the same degree as the Defense Department. My sincere view is that the commitment of our forces to this fight was done with a casualness and swagger that are the special province of those who have never had to execute these missions--or bury the results.

Flaws in our civilians are one thing; the failure of the Pentagon's military leaders is quite another. Those are men who know the hard consequences of war but, with few exceptions, acted timidly when their voices urgently needed to be heard. When they knew the plan was flawed, saw intelligence distorted to justify a rationale for war, or witnessed arrogant micromanagement that at times crippled the military's effectiveness, many leaders who wore the uniform chose inaction. A few of the most senior officers actually supported the logic for war. Others were simply intimidated, while still others must have believed that the principle of obedience does not allow for respectful dissent. The consequence of the military's quiescence was that a fundamentally flawed plan was executed for an invented war, while pursuing the real enemy, al-Qaeda, became a secondary effort.

There have been exceptions, albeit uncommon, to the rule of silence among military leaders. Former Army Chief of Staff General Shinseki, when challenged to offer his professional opinion during prewar congressional testimony, suggested that more troops might be needed for the invasion's aftermath. The Secretary and Deputy Secretary of Defense castigated him in public and marginalized him in his remaining months in his post. Army General John Abizaid, head of Central Command, has been forceful in his views with appointed officials on strategy and micromanagement of the fight in Iraq--often with success. Marine Commandant General Mike Hagee steadfastly challenged plans to underfund, understaff and underequip his service as the Corps has struggled to sustain its fighting capability.

To be sure, the Bush Administration and senior military officials are not alone in their culpability. Members of Congress--from both parties--defaulted in fulfilling their constitutional responsibility for oversight. Many in the media saw the warning signs and heard cautionary tales before the invasion from wise observers like former Central Command chiefs Joe Hoar and Tony Zinni but gave insufficient weight to their views. These are the same news organizations that now downplay both the heroic and the constructive in Iraq.

So what is to be done? We need fresh ideas and fresh faces. That means, as a first step, replacing Rumsfeld and many others unwilling to fundamentally change their approach. The troops in the Middle East have performed their duty. Now we need people in Washington who can construct a unified strategy worthy of them. It is time to send a signal to our nation, our forces and the world that we are uncompromising on our security but are prepared to rethink how we achieve it. It is time for senior military leaders to discard caution in expressing their views and ensure that the President hears them clearly. And that we won't be fooled again.

It's a great article by Newbold, and very courageous. I consider his resignation to be honorable as it was an act of political protest.

However, I think he's confused about taking the fight to al-qaeada. The real enemy is domestic. The real enemy is unethical business and governmental relationships and practices. The real enemy is the policy of global dominance as an end. The real enemy is the philosophy, and mentality, that the ends, somehow, justify the means.

THE BEAST FROM THE SEA - A NEW WORLD EMPIRE

Revelation 13:1-10, "And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority. And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast. And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months. And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints."

It is a popular but erroneous notion to name the beast from the sea the Antichrist. John, who was the only one to use the term "antichrist" in scripture, did not himself use the term to describe the beast from the sea. Antichrist means against Christ. Referring to false teachers, John states, "Even now are there many antichrists." (1 John 2:18, 22; 4:3; 2 John 1:7) Indeed the beast from the sea is "against Christ", but lets look at the bigger picture.

An antichrist can be anyone. If you walk out onto a busy city street you are probably surrounded by antichrists. A person in your class or even a loved one or family member can be an antichrist.

Let's take a look at the characteristics of an antichrist.

In 1 John 2:18 John states that there are many. John goes on to say in verse 22 that he who denies that Jesus is Messiah (Christ) is the antichrist and that anyone who denies that there are a Father and a Son is the antichrist.

1 John 4:3 states that if you do not believe that Jesus was an actual flesh and blood person you are an antichrist. John goes on to reinforce this in 2 John 1:7 by stating that people who do not confess that Jesus came in the flesh are deceivers as well.

If we consider our own friends and acquaintances we should all know at least one antichrist. Society and the church have distanced themselves from the concept that there are many antichrists by attributing the term to only one person in the distant future. This is much more palatable than believing that perhaps your best friend, sister, brother, mother or father could be an antichrist.

Society at large always tends to "lay blame" as opposed to "taking responsibility" for what they have allowed. Some examples of this are as follows. Jesus was killed and society blamed Judas Iscariot. World War Two sweeps over the world and society blames Hitler. The Vietnam War is blamed on politicians. The amount of sex and violence in our society today is blamed on actors and directors in Hollywood. Our illegal drug problem is blamed on drug dealers.

Even though the persons mentioned here, Judas Iscariot, Hitler, Politicians, actors, directors and drug dealers are culpable and liable for much evil: they are but scapegoats. The true blame for these atrocities lies squarely on the shoulders of the societies that stand by and allow the atrocities happen.

It was the people of Jesus' time who were yelling "Crucify Him!" It was the people of Germany who elected Hitler to power. The people of America elected the politicians who paved the way for the Vietnam War. It is the people of the world that pay for the movies and television shows that have eroded our moral balance. Finally, if there were no market for illegal drugs there would be no drug dealers.

This is what has happened with the teachings of the antichrist. Society has created a fictional villain to lay the blame on. They have forgotten that it is society who has laid the groundwork for such villains to come to the surface. It is the spirit of the antichrist resident within society today, which is the real villain.

Now before we go on let us take a few minutes to discuss prophetic symbolism. One of the keys to understanding prophecy is to understand the symbols used in prophetic utterances. For example, when a "beast" is mentioned in prophecy it is usually in reference to a kingdom, a nation or a New World Order. When a "head" is used in a prophetic vision it represents the headquarters of a government. When a "horn" is used in prophecy it represents a king or ruler. When "the sea" is used it is referring to humanity on a global basis. The following verse from Daniel illustrates this.

Daniel 7:23-24, "Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings."

The dragon gives the beast from the sea his power, seat and authority. Satan had once offered these same options to a weary Jesus who had just spent forty days in the wilderness fasting. Jesus in turn rejected all of Satan's offers. Sadly, the beast from the sea will gladly take all the power that Satan offers. The Greek word for "power" is dunamis {doo'-nam-is}. This does not merely mean political power but power that resides in having armies as well as the power to do miracles. It means to have the strength to back up what you say. The Greek word for "seat" is thronos {thron'-os}. This is the word that we get throne from and indicates a place of authority of rule. The word "authority" is translated exousia {ex-oo-see'-ah} and means, the power of rule or government (the power of him whose will and commands must be submitted to by others and obeyed)

The following passages from Daniel are important to keep in mind when reading about the beast from the sea in Revelation. This new world order will contain many of the same characteristics of the following four beasts of Daniel all rolled in one. It will indeed be an awe inspiring sight.

THE FIRST BEAST: The Babylonian Empire under Nebuchadnezzar. 605BC - 538BC

Daniel 7:3-4, "And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it."

Ancient Babylon was founded by Nimrod who ordered the construction of the Tower of Babel. As a result of this God confounded all of the languages of the world. From its inception Babylon always desired to unite mankind. With Nimrod they built the great city of Babylon which was a wonder in itself. When this was finished they began another even greater project. They began the tower of Babel, which was yet another attempt to bring mankind together under one ruling authority. Their idea was to bring mankind together by proposing a grand project that would unite mankind in a single purpose and a common goal. God then confounded the languages of the world so that no one could understand each other. Individual nations arose and mankind was separated through language barriers.

The Babylonian Empire under Nebuchadnezzar attempted to reunite the world by conquering all nations and making them part of the Babylonian Empire. They again were trying to bring the whole world under one leadership. The problem with this is that the leaders of the Babylonian Empire considered themselves gods and demanded worship from the peoples. God could not allow this idolatrous practice to continue.

In 538 BC after the Babylonian Emperor Belshazzar used the golden vessels from the Lord's temple in Jerusalem for a drunken debauch, he saw the writing on the wall. The words written on the wall were MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and UPHARSIN. Daniel records the meaning of the words in the following verses:

Daniel 5:26-28, "This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians."

That same night Belshazzar was murdered and Darius the Median took the kingdom. Babylon was finished. The Medo-Persian Empire took over.

THE SECOND BEAST: The Medo-Persian Empire. 538BC - 331BC

Daniel 7:5, "And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour much flesh." The Medo-Persian Empire considered its government infallible. Once a law was made it was never rescinded."

The Medo-Persian Empire reigned until 331BC when it met up with an unequaled military genius. This young man at the age of 25 became ruler of the World Empire of the time. His name was Alexander the Great and he conquered the entire known world in just 13 years.

THE THIRD BEAST: The Grecian Empire of Alexander the Great. 331BC - 168BC

Daniel 7:6, "After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it."

Alexander the Great before his death ordered all Greek cities to worship him as a god. This seems to be a common malady with One-World leaders. The four heads of the beast represent Alexander's four generals. Their names were Cassander, Lysimachus, Seleuchus and Ptolomy. At the death of Alexander the Great the Grecian Empire was divided into four parts. Each commanded by one of the four Generals.

As with Belshazzar so with Alexander the Great. In a drunken fit Alexander the Great drank down the Herculean cup full of alcohol. This cup was a huge thing and he drank it down twice. He died of alcohol poisoning soon afterwards.

THE FOURTH BEAST: The Roman Empire. 168BC - 476AD

Daniel 7:7-8 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth. It devoured, and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it; and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."

The fourth beast is conspicuously missing from the description of the Beast from the Sea prior to the opening of the Abyss. The Beast from the Sea is a hybrid of the first three Empires seen by Daniel in his vision of the four beasts. After the opening of the Abyss the Beast from the Sea will go a drastic change and be changed into a Roman Empire reborn.

Daniel states that the Roman Empire was distinctly dissimilar or different from the three kingdoms that came before it. It was a dreadful and terrible beast, exceedingly strong and violent. This new Roman Empire reborn will be no less dreadful and terrible. It will sweep up the world in a violent overthrow using the 200,000,000 demon/men army to destroy any resistance that the world now weakened by the first five trumpet warnings might provide.

The only relief the world will have is that this Kingdom will only reign a short time before being thrown into the lake of fire which is symbolic of eternal destruction.

Daniel 7:7-8, "After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things."

In 168BC Rome conquered Greece. Rome ruled the world with an iron fist. If anyone would come against Rome they would just send in their legions and crush any resistance. Since the Roman legions traveled on their feet Rome built magnificent roads throughout their Empire. Their great feats of engineering are world renown.

The ten horns of the dragon, the ten horns of the beast of Daniel as well as the ten toes on Nebuchadnezzar's idol (Dan. 2) all represent the same ten kingdoms each having a king. These ten kingdoms come from the fall of the Roman Empire.

When the Roman Empire crumbled it was divided into ten divisions each governed by one of ten Roman generals. The ten divisions were the Alemani (Germany), the Franks (France), the Burgundians (Switzerland), the Suevi (Portugal), the Anglo-Saxons (Britain), the Visigoths (Spain), the Lombards (Italy), the Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Heruli.

The last three were destroyed by the Roman Catholic church because they refused to become "Christian." These are the three kings (horns) that were subdued in Daniel 7:24.

Since a horn represents a king in prophetic symbolism and it was the Roman Catholic church that destroyed the Vandals, Ostrogoths and Heruli. Then it stands to reason that the Pope who is the ruler, or king, of the Roman Catholic Church must be the diverse horn of Daniel 7:24.

The Beast from the Sea represents a future New World Order. Just as the dragon represents the person of Satan and Rome so also does the Beast from the Sea represent an Empire as well as its leader. This empire will include many of the same characteristics of Babylon, Medo-Persia, Greece and Rome. The Beast from the Sea will also receive its power, seat and authority from the dragon, which is Satan or metaphorically speaking, Rome.

The dragon will be worshipped, then the beast and eventually the living image of the beast. Satan will be worshipped because he is the source of the power of the beast. The new empire that the dragon gives its power to will be an awesome sight. There will never have been an empire with such strength, majesty or dominance. Like Babylon this empire will encompass the entire earth. Like Medo-Persia the government will be seen as infallible. Like Greece, the military leadership of the empire will be without parallel and like Rome the empire will crush all that oppose it and will have a man-god king.

There is a saying that goes something like this, "We'll give him just enough rope to hang himself with." For the first three and a half years of the great tribulation while the trumpet warnings are going forth and after Israel has signed the seven year covenant with the beast from the sea the beast will be given free reign to do as he will. During this time the false prophet will erect the living image of the beast and demand that the whole world worship the beast's image.

Again at this point the world will start to lay the blame for all of the calamities that are happening on the Christians. Just as Hitler blamed the Jews for all of Germany's problems, so will the Christians be blamed for all of the problems that are now troubling the world.

Since society has to blame someone for their troubles the blame will lie on the Christians. The Christians will be immune and protected from many of the troubles that beset the world at this point and they will be hated by the world for this. The world will reason that since the locusts do not affect them, then the Christians must have sent them. They imagine that if they get rid of the Christians they will get rid of the problem.

All of the world will find a new religion to follow except for those recorded in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world. This includes the 144,000 plus all converted during the seven trumpet warnings.

THE BEAST FROM THE LAND - THE FALSE PROPHET

Revelation 13:11-18, "And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

Revelation 19:20 names the second beast as the false prophet. The false prophet will receive his power from the beast from the sea, which in turn gained his power from Satan. The false prophet is limited in his power. He will have all of the power of the first beast only while in the presence of the first beast. Since the first beast also represents a kingdom as well as it's leader, as long as the false prophet remains in the kingdom of the first beast he will be able to perform his great signs and wonders. It also stands to reason that outside the kingdom of the first beast the false prophet will be powerless. This is yet another reason why the beast from the sea and the false prophet will come against Christians.

Christians have but one King and His name is Jesus. Having another King makes us members of a kingdom other than that of the beast from the sea. The false prophet will be powerless to influence Christians since they are outside of the kingdom of the beast from the sea.

The false prophet will be the campaign manager of the New World Order. Through his signs and wonders he will deceive the world into following the beast from the sea. That is, he will deceive all of the world except the 144,000 Jews and those that have come to Christ during the first three and a half years of the great tribulation. Christians will become the thorns in Satan's flesh at this time.

The false prophet is not empowered to actually come against Christians and overcome them. This power resides only with the beast from the sea Rev. 13:7. Since it is the false prophet's job is to make the whole world follow the beast from the sea; he will have to deal with these Christians who are continually making trouble.

At this time Satan initiates his most diabolical plan to rid the world of these pesky Christians who continually hinder his purposes. It is not a new plan for Satan for he had tried it once before in the time of Daniel.

In Daniel chapter three we are told that Nebuchadnezzar erected a great image of gold. He then ordered all of the chief officials of the provinces of Babylon to come together and hear an official edict. The edict stated that whenever you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, dulcimer or bagpipe and every kind of music you are to fall down and worship the golden image. Being cast into a fiery furnace would kill whoever did not fall down and worship the golden idol.

Now the false prophet will resurrect this same edict. He will make an image of the beast of the sea and impart life to it. Then an edict will be passed in the New World Order that states that whoever does not worship the beast will be killed.

Now this is where the diabolical cunning comes in. Since it is impossible to get the whole world to come to the place where the image is, the false prophet issues another edict. A mark will be made available to all and this would be a sign of ones worship. Just as in Nebuchadnezzar's time whenever you heard any kind of music you had to worship the image of gold so also every time a person uses this mark to buy or sell it is an act of worship to the image of the beast.

Requiring the world to receive this mark serves two purposes. The first purpose is to make the entire world worship the beast from the sea by receiving it. The second purpose is to identify and separate those who will not comply.

There is no death sentence associated with receiving the mark, since it is only a sign of one's devotion. Of course we know that those who do receive the mark will be partakers of the wrath of God and will remain on the earth through the seven bowl plagues Rev. 14:9-11. At the end of the bowl plagues those marked persons who remain will be thrown into the lake of fire with the beast and the false prophet Rev. 19:20.

Those who do not receive the mark will be required to show their fidelity by worshipping the image of the beast from the sea. If they do not worship the image, then they will be killed. There will be many that refuse to worship the image of the beast or receive its mark. These persons will be martyred and then the number of the brethren of the martyrs under the altar (fifth seal) will be complete. These persons are also the people who are mentioned in Rev. 15:2. They are standing next to the glassy sea mixed with fire and have gained the victory over the beast, over his image, over his mark and over the number of his name.

At that point all Christian influence will be removed from the world and the bowls full of the wrath of God, mixed with the final plagues will be poured out upon the earth. — at www.apocalypsetheunveiling.com.

Union Carbide pesticide factory, Bhopal, India. by Bhopal Medical Appeal

1

Exterior view of the Union Carbide pesticide factory scene of the world's worst industrial disaster.

Interior shot of the factory before it was stripped of some of its most valuable components and subsequently abandoned to the elements.

The factory remains ruined and abandoned to this day and there are approximately 350 Metric tonnes of highly toxic waste stored above ground.

Of greater concern are the many thousands of tonnes of toxic waste that were buried, in an untreated state, on the site.

Rain water runs through his waste, along with the remains of the abandoned solar evaporation ponds, and leaches toxic chemicals in to the local ground water aquifer.

The toxic plume has now spread for miles from the factory and many thousands of impoverished people have been using it, for decades, as their primary water supply.

"Sunday.

here this week.

We all went for a swim in

the pool today.

I rang mother this morning.

Minka is very poorly. Dad

seemed very upset.

Love Joan xxxx"

A Public Suicide

So what else happened on the day that Joan posted the card?

Well, the 17th. August 1964 marked the birth in Cross Houses, Shrewsbury, UK of Kevin Whitrick.

Kevin Neil Whitrick killed himself at the age of 42 on the 21st. March 2007 in Telford, UK.

Kevin was a British citizen and an electrical engineer. His death was highly publicised because of his live, online webcast suicide.

At the time of his death, he was married to his wife Paula, but lived apart from his family after the breakdown of his marriage two years previously.

On the day of his death, Kevin Whitrick was in a chatroom on PalTalk along with about 60 other users in a special "insult" chatroom where people "have a go at each other".

He suddenly stood on a chair, punched a hole in the ceiling and placed a rope around a joist. He then tied the other end around his neck, then stepped off the chair. Some people thought this was a prank, until his face started turning blue.

Some people in the chatroom egged him on, while others tried desperately to find his address. A member in the room contacted the police, who arrived at the scene two minutes later. However Kevin Whitrick was pronounced dead at 11:15 pm GMT.

Aftermath of the Suicide

The death was reported in the press, and is notable because of concerns that it could inspire other suicides, the possibility of the webcam footage being made available on the internet, and discussions over the culpability of web users who encouraged the man to kill himself.

Police detectives traced the chatroom users to question them about their role in the cyber suicide. The Crown Prosecution Service has stated that none of the chatroom users will face criminal charges.

-- 2021 : A 28 year old man from San Diego, California named Angel Hernandez Grado committed suicide on Instagram after he allegedly held his girlfriend captive for two days.

Murder on the Internet

Murder has also been portrayed on the Internet.

18 year old twin sisters, Amália and Amanda Alves were shot dead in July 2021 in a horrific gangland execution that was live-streamed on Instagram. It was reported that the shooting happened because the women 'knew too much' about incidents involving drug dealers.

The young women's bodies were found hours later after they were killed on the side of a road behind a property complex in Pacajus, Brazil. Amanda Alves left behind a three-year-old daughter, whilst her twin sister Amália Alves had become a mum to a son who was only six-months-old.

A 17 year old suspect in the case was arrested on suspicion of the bloodbath.

Video footage captured the sisters’ harrowing final moments as they knelt next to each other on the dirty road. The pair were forced to gather their hair up in a bun before the suspect took the gun to the back of their skulls and fired the fatal bullets.

He then blasted two more shots at one of the sisters before standing over the other victim and firing another four bullets at her limp body.

JO TAMBÉ ESTAVA AL PARLAMENT... I HO TORNARIA A FER

El dia 31 de març comença el judici contra les 20 persones imputades per l’intent de bloqueig del Parlament del 15 de Juny del 2011. Aquell dia s'anaven a iniciar el tràmits per aprovar els pressupostos amb el primer paquet de retallades a Catalunya, que va propiciar el tancament d'empreses públiques, la privatització de la sanitat, les retallades al sector de la cultura, educació, etc.

La mobilització “Aturem el Parlament” va succeir dues setmanes després del brutal desallotjament de la Plaça Catalunya a mans dels antidisturbis dels Mossos d'Esquadra a les ordres del que era conseller d'Interior i ara ho és d'Empresa i Ocupació, Felip Puig. També responsable del dispositiu policial que va disparar contra l'ull d'Esther Quintana.

La criminalització per part de la premsa subvencionada pel Govern i l'escalada repressiva que va venir després (judicis contra persones que volien impedir un desnonament al Clot, nombroses detencions a les vagues generals, multes absurdes per les persones que es manifestaven o per enganxar cartells, etc), va ser i és encara, una resposta planejada per procurar frenar l'augment de la indignació i de la força de les protestes populars contra el poder polític, econòmic i altres injustícies quotidianes, com el patriarcat i el racisme.

Durant aquells dies, la gent es va organitzar arreu per construir política des del carrer, com moltes seguim fent. La política que volem és assembleària, horitzontal, autogestionada, sense representants, és del poble i per al poble, i xoca amb la política institucional que ens governa. La qual ha estat protagonista d'un espiral de corrupció i de tenir llaços, sovint familiars o personals, amb grans empreses privades que reben encàrrecs d'obres públiques i amb els peixos grossos del poder financer.

Aquell dia érem milers de persones les que vam anar a intentar aturar el Parlament, per combatre el drama de tantes vides immerses en la misèria, els acomiadaments per les retallades, els suïcidis pels desnonaments, etc. Perquè moltes d'aquestes barbàries s'aproven dins dels murs d'aquest edifici. Per aquest motiu estàvem assenyalant els culpables el 15 de Juny de 2011 i per això mateix, ho tornaríem a fer sense por, perquè legitimem la nostra actuació, i perquè si la gent del carrer, a qui ens afecta tot això, no lluitem, ningú altre ho farà per nosaltres.

Sabem i tenim clar que aquest és un judici polític, una farsa per atemorir a aquelles que decideixen plantar cara i actuar contra els responsables de tanta precarietat. De fet, ens reafirmem al comprovar que l'acció directa contra els poderosos i generar alternatives de vida els molesta, i molt. Per això, i perquè som conscients del poder que podem tenir quan ens organitzem, no ens volem doblegar davant les seves intimidacions i fem una crida a estendre la solidaritat a aquells i aquelles que pateixen la repressió i la violència quotidiana d'aquest sistema econòmic, en les seves infinitats de formes.

Convoquem manifestació el dia 29 de març a Barcelona a les 18:30 a Plaça Catalunya.

SOLIDARITAT AMB TOTES LES REPRESALIADES I AMB AQUELLES QUE LLUITEN!!

La propera vegada que agafin un helicòpter, que sigui per marxar ben lluny i no tornar a molestar!

I was at the Catalan Parliament too…

and I would do it again

On March 31st the court case against the 20 people who are charged with an attempt to block the Catalan Paliament on June 15th 2012 will begin. That day in June, the process of implementing the first round of budget cuts in Catalonia began. Cuts that involved closing public companies, the privatization of health care,as well as cuts in the area of culture, education, etc.

The mobilization “Aturem el Parlament” (“Paralize the Parliament”), took place two weeks after the brutal eviction of Plaza Catalunya (Barcelona), by the riot police Mossos d´Esquadra under the command of Felip Puig. He was the minister of the Interior at that time and is currently the minister of companies and labour. He was also responsible for the police operation that shot Esther Quintana in the eye.

The criminalization by the media (that is funded by the state) and the increase of repression which followed (court cases against people trying to prevent an eviction in the neighbourhood of el Clot, many detentions during the general strikes, absurd fees for people protesting or hanging banners with tape etc), was, and still is, a planned response to try to stop the rise of outrage and the strength of popular demostrations against economic and political power, and other daily injustices (such as patriarchy and racism).

During those days, people organized themselves all over to build and create politics from the streets, as many of us continue to do. The politics we want are based in assemblies, horizontal, self-organized, without leaders; they belong to the people and they are for the people, and clash with the institutional politics which govern us. The same institutional politics and their protagonists are creating a corruption spiral and have relationships, mostly family-based, with private companies (that receive contracts for public constructions) and with high-up people with economic power.

That day we were thousands of people trying to paralyze the Catalan Parliament in order to fight the drama of so many lives embedded in misery, the layoffs due to the cuts, the suicides due to evictions, etc. Because many of these atrocities are approved behind the walls of that building. This is the reason that we were pointing out the guilty ones that 25 of June 2012, and because of this, we would to it again without fear. Because we legitimize our action, and because if we, the people from the street -whom are the most affected-, don´t fight, nobody will do it for us.

We know that this is a political court case, a farce to scare those who decide to stand up and take action against thoseresponsibleforall this precariousness. In fact, we reaffirm our ideals and actions after proving that direct action and the creation of alternatives of life bothers them, a lot. Because of this, and because we are aware of the power we can have when we are organized, we don´t want to bow down to their intimidation. We call for a spread of solidarity for all the ones who suffer daily repression and violence within this economic system, in its infinite shapes.

SOLIDARITY WITH ALL THE REPRESSED AND THOSE WHO FIGHT!!

The next time that they take an helicopter, it should be to go far away, and not come back to bother us.

Repression in Spain. A call for international solidarity

During the last three years Spanish society has witnessed a period of intense social protests against austerity, corruption, unemployment and so on. As in other times in history, the greater and more radicalised the protest the bigger the repression that the state organises against it. Since the general strike in September 2010, a common trend of this repression strategy is been a kind of ‘laissez faire’ in the streets but followed by ´selective´ detentions months later. Police have been literally knocking doors down of those who continuously take part in different actions and demonstrations, and consequently dozens of people have been arrested.

On June the 15th 2011, ten thousand people surrounded the Catalan parliament in Barcelona. That day the government wanted to approve a vast austerity cut in health and education, and the idea was to block politicians from getting into the building. “Inexplicably” the police did not protect some politicians, which caused direct confrontation with protesters, and of course that fact was used by the media as an example of violence against democracy. After that, people were violently dispersed, and the MPs could do their job.

On October the 4th 2011, 22 people were arrested in their homes. They have been accused of a crime against the state, using a law designed for coup leaders and that had never been used before in Spain. They now face a penalty of up to 8 years in jail, whereas some of them have been also accused of different crimes related to other demonstrations. The trial will start in March the 31st 2014 and it is expected to last four days.

There will be a national day of solidarity in Spain on March the 29th with demonstrations in several cities. So we also call for international solidarity.

You can call, email or block different Spanish embassies or institutions. Or you can do whatever you consider appropriate…

“That day we tried to block the Catalan parliament to combat the drama of many lives immersed in poverty, layoffs by cuts, suicides by evictions, etc. Because many of these atrocities are approved behind the walls of that building. We were pointing at the guilty, and because of that we would do it again without fear. We know this is a political trial, a farce to scare those who choose to stand up and take action against those responsible for such precarious living conditions. In fact, we reaffirm it to find that both direct action against the powerful and generate alternative lives bothers them a lot. For this reason, and because we understand the power that we can have as we organise ourselves, we do not want to bow to their intimidation and we make a call to extend solidarity to those suffering the daily repression and violence of this economic system, in its myriad forms”.

Bouley Bay, Bailiwick Of Jersey. by PHOTOGRAPHY by DM & DBM.

2 1

Bouley Bay is on the north coast of Jersey. It nestles below Jersey's tallest cliffs, 400 feet high, and shares its name, derived from bouleau, a birch tree, with eight French villages

Safe anchorage

The bay is in some ways the ideal spot for a harbour. There is safe, deep anchorage with at least six fathoms of water close to the shore. It was already called a port in the Extente of 1274. It was called Portus de Boley, the Port of Bouley. Dumaresq wrote in 1685: "Here has been a design to build a mole, which might be made to secure great ships from all winds or weathers, the materials being at hand." But the steepness of the hills would have made it difficult to transport the cargoes, nor could a town of any size have been built on them.

The small pier was not constructed until 1828, although some 150 years earlier it was considered a possible location for a substantial harbour. However, there was too little land at sea level to allow for any significant buildings to be constructed and access was extremely difficult, so the plan never came to fruition. The pier was built by the States for the oyster fishermen and for defence, and the initials of the contractor, F de la Mare, can be seen engraved in the harbour wall.

On the cliff top immediately to the South is Jardin d'Olivet, where in 1549 French invaders who had already occupied Sark were repulsed by the Militia and forced to retreat and head for St Malo. During the English Civil War Parliamentary troops landed at Bouley Bay aiming to capture prominent Royalists, but most had already sought refuge in Mont Orgueil and Elizabeth Castle.

After the Riot of 1769 Colonel Bentinck disembarked his Highlanders here and marched into the town to restore order.

Such a danger spot obviously had to be guarded. When the first three cannon arrived in Jersey, apart from those in the castle, one was placed in the bay; and from that day forward the States were constantly discussing further defences. Two bulwarks were made, and a guard-house and two magazines. A beacon was erected to give the alarm signal. Then L'Etaquerel Fort was built on the east of the bay and on the west a two-gun battery was erected above the present pier. This is called the Leicester battery, and a demi-culverin had been installed there in 1596, hence the name, after the Elizabethan Earl of Leicester. In 1835 a lower battery was built at L'Etaquerel, and the one on the west was replaced by a larger five-gun battery.

Hill Climb

The Bouley Bay Hill Climb is one of the island's most popular sporting events, attracting large crowds to the slopes of the hill for its three runnings each year, including an international event.

The story of Bouley Bay mirrors the development of the military, shipping and tourism in Jersey from the 16th to the 21st century. It is the people of the area and the effect of these developments on their lives which bring the stories of Bouley Bay to life. In July 1549 a French expedition landed at Bouley Bay. They met the local militia at Jardin d’Olivet and after a fight in which the Lieut-Bailiff, Jurat Helier de la Rocque, was killed, the French were defeated and retired to St Malo with their dead and wounded.

Fortifications

The battle of 1549 must have influenced the States decision in 1596 to place a cannon at the harbour. The responsibility for its upkeep was divided between the Constables of Trinity, St Martin, St John and Grouville.

Developments in fortifications at Bouley Bay continued throughout the French and Napoleonic Wars of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. On 5 May 1807 the States approved a proposal that a magazine in stone be built to lodge the munitions and cannon of the battery of the harbour.

A record of the fortifications of the Island compiled in 1857 includes a number of details concerning the defences at Bouley Bay. The fortifications listed are Vicart Battery, Les Hurets Battery, Leicester Battery, Bouley Battery, Les Charriers, Hommet, l’Islet and Le Tacqueral. The volume records that since the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 ‘a powerful enclosed battery near the pier has been constructed’.

Harbour

It was in the 19th century that a number of harbours, including Bouley Bay, were developed. The rise of the oyster fishing industry led to a significant number of boats being moored around the bays of the Island and increased calls from the fishermen for protection for their vessels.

In 1826 petitions addressed to the States of Jersey were received from a large number of inhabitants of different parishes concerning the harbours of La Rocque, Bouley and Rozel. The petitioners asked for protection for boats in those areas.

In November 1826 the States authorised the construction of a jetty at Bouley Bay. The construction of the original jetty sheltered the fishing fleet, but in 1839 a second petition from the fishermen asked for additional works at the harbour. The additional works to extend the jetty were drawn up by Mr Walker in 1845 and then revised by architects Le Sueur and Bree in 1869.

Drowning

As is the case with many of the bays around the island, a number of stories exist of individuals drowning in the sometimes hazardous waters of Bouley Bay.

In 1880 newspapers reported an accident in Bouley Bay in which Bienaime Le Fillastre drowned just outside the harbour. The inquest found that Bienaime was well known for his ‘drunken habits’ and that at 2.45 on the morning of the accident he and T Le Masurier had knocked on the door of the hotel and purchased a bottle of brandy, and borrowed the key to the stable where Le Masurier kept his boat.

The hotel keeper, who was a witness at the inquest, was Thomas Perree. He is described in 1881 as a 22-year-old who was married to Emily, who was 34. The hotel which Thomas and Emily ran was the establishment that became the Water’s Edge.

Banker's downfall

Significant residential properties in the Bouley Bay area include Rockmount, which, with its gardens, was built by Josue Le Bailly on land that he purchased from Charles Nicolle and Jean Sinel in 1857. In the 1861 census Josue was 49 and was listed as a Jurat, banker and ship owner. In his lifetime he had links with the Jersey Imperial Hotel Company, was a trustee of the Jersey Savings Bank, and was Procureur du Bien Public for St Helier.

He was also the chairman of the Jersey Mercantile Union Bank, which opened in 1834 and dramatically suspended payments on 1 February 1873. This was the leading bank in the island and it closed with liabilities of £300,000 and assets of only £30,000.

Josue Le Bailly was sent to prison on 18 February for ‘breach of trust’. He was put on trial for embezzlement and culpable fraud and neglect at the Criminal Assizes in May 1873. The trial was eagerly followed and reported in the newspapers because Le Bailly had been a popular and respected figure in the island and the closure of the bank had a significant impact on many islanders.

The trial continued for 11 days, with Advocate Henry Le Vavasseur dit Durell representing the defence. The newspapers recorded in detail the summing up, with Advocate Durell giving a spirited oration, talking of Nicolle as ‘the man whom not three months ago we looked upon with pride, as the ornament of our judicial bench, the father whom everybody loved and respected, to be arrested in the middle of the night, in the midst of his family, to be cloistered up within the four walls of a prison and, oh horror, dragged from the court to the prisonh, and from the prison to court, in that vehicle which usually contains convicts of the first order’.

The main defence was mental infirmity, with Advocate Durell highlighting that his client had suffered an accident on leaving his house at Bouley Bay in July 1869. He had fallen from his carriage and fractured his skull, leaving him senseless for seven days. The advocate also brought witnesses to attest to Nicolle’s change in mental state after the accident. He painted a picture of a man who had memory lapses and could at times be well, and at other times incoherent.

The jury found him guilty of three of the counts of which he was accused and sentenced him to five years penal servitude.

One of the main events in the island’s motor sport calendar is the Bouley Bay Hill Climb, which is organised by the Jersey Motor Cycle and Light Car Club. The first hill climb took place in 1920 and the events continued through the 1920s and 30s, until they were stopped by the German Occupation.

The club was quick to organise races after the Occupation and the ‘’Evening Post’’ of 8 February 1946 highlighted the plans for motor racing in the island in the autumn, with a proposed hill climb at Bouley Bay. The following year Bouley Bay was one of only five venues in the inaugural British Hill Climb Championship, and has held championship events ever since.

High cliffs

From the Nez de Guet, where Rozel Bay ends, to Vicard Point, where Bouley Bay ends, is about one and half miles as the crow flies. Here the coastline is mainly backed by 200-300 feet cliffs. Immediately to the west of the Nez de Guet is a small cove called Le Sauchet, which means ‘a place drenched with spray‘.

The next headland is the Tour de Rozel, with its widely recognised White Rock and tidal race, which has been the scene of a number of shipwrecks over the years. In April 1887 the 30-ton coaster Normandy foundered here while running for shelter. The only survivor was the ship’s boy, who was found the following morning clinging to the cutter’s upturned small boat.

The rough pasture on these cliffs was used in medieval times to graze the coarse fleeced multi-horned sheep that were the foundation for the island’s famed knitting industry; although islanders very soon realised that more money was to be made by importing the better quality English wool for their product.

The popular notion of Bouley Bay is the area from l’Etacquerel to the pier. L’Etacquerel comes from the old Norse word for a heap or a stack of rock – stakkr. This can still be seen just below the 19th century fort. The meaning of Bouley Bay, however, is a bit uncertain; one theory is that it comes from the old Norse words for a dwelling and a bay – bol and vik.

Just beyond L’Etacquerel Fort lie the remains of the ss Ribbledale, which was wrecked on the night of 26/27 December 1926. She was waiting to take on a cargo of granite from Ronez when she dragged her anchor during a gale and was driven ashore. The captain and crew succeeded in reaching shore in a small boat, but one of the firemen was missing. He turned up safe later in the day having ‘slept through the whole affair’.

Deep water anchorage

As early as 1274 the area was referred to as the port of ‘Boley’. In 1602 the States appointed Nicholas Richardson superviseur pour les coustimes des Etats aux Harves de Rozel, Bouley Bay et Ste Catherine. The work was hardly onerous. Despite having long been recognised as the best deep water anchorage in the island the pier is of fairly recent construction. In 1685 Philippe Dumaresq described the bay as “A very good road for any ships about two cables length (370 metres) from the shore, in 12 or 15 fathom water; secure for all southerly and westerly winds ... indeed the fittest place for a harbour of all the island “ although he did qualify it by pointing out that the high cliffs behind it make building and access extremely difficult.

This was also a lesson learned by the French in the summer of 1549, when they tried to mount an attack on the island by landing here. This was actually a diversionary attack designed to draw English resources away from their main campaign in Scotland. The French sent two squadrons of galleys to attack the Channel Islands. An attack on Guernsey was defeated, but they did successfully manage to capture Sark before moving on to Jersey. An English naval force lead by William Wynter defeated the French galleys while the French transports landed soldiers and Italian mercenaries in Bouley Bay. Once assembled Captain Breuil (de Bretagne) lead his men up the steep hill to Jardin d’Olivet, where they were surprised by the Island Militia, armed with their new cannon. Despite being totally defeated, the French managed to get back to their ships and retreat to St Malo.

Two hundred years later the bay saw the arrival of another military force. This time it was Lieutenant Colonel Rudolph Bentinck and four companies – about 200 men - of the Royal Regiment of Foot (Royal Scots). They had been sent to Jersey to restore order after the anti-Lempriere riots in September 1769. This time there was no armed resistance, which is just as well, as by then there were a number of defensive structures around the bay to prevent any such hostile landings.

Before there was a pier several large fishing boats were kept here. They were usually hauled above the high water mark using Crabbs (capstans). When the oyster industry was expanding in the 1820s it was decided to build a pier here, and Abraham de La Mare was commissioned to do the job. His pier, finished in 1827, was 36 metres long and nearly 14 metres high, and completed at a cost of £2,500. It was designed to provide shelter for up to 30 oyster cutters. Six of them were actually built here between 1824 and 1842. The Blampieds built four of them, and the largest - a 40-ton cutter – was built by John Pope in 1826. Over the same period another six open boats were decked over by the Le Masuriers.

Today Bouley Bay is popular with scuba divers and snorkelers. Its sheltered water is home to a wide variety of marine life and in 1993 the States landing barge La Mauve was scuttled about half a mile offshore to create an artificial reef for the enjoyment of recreational divers.

A place of myths

The bay is also associated with a couple of myths. The best known is that of a gigantic black dog with huge saucer-shaped eyes – Le Chien de Bouley (le Tchan du Bouole) - which is said to roam around the area frightening innocent passers-by. This may have been a story circulated by smugglers to keep prying eyes and gossips away from the bay and possible clandestine activity.

The older story associated with the area is the Cry of the Tombelènes, with its local lovers, an army of occupation, murders and suicide set around the cliffs (Les Tombelènes) above the Islet during the French Occupation of 1461 until 1468.

Beyond the pier the cliffs continue to Vicard Point, which takes its name from the old Norse Vik-vartha - the watch hill by the creek. It does not look much today, but in the late 17th century this little creek was referred to as Havre Vicart and described as “Here boats might land passengers but they can only ascend the cliffs in single file”. Sea travellers then were obviously a hardier bunch than todays.

QUOTE: “In 1932 in April a small boy and his mother and father waited on an Oakland, California pier for the San Francisco ferry. The boy, who was almost four years old, noticed a blind beggar, huge and old with white hair and beard, standing with a tin cup. The boy asked his father for a nickel, which the boy took over to the beggar and gave him. The beggar, in a surprisingly hearty voice, thanked him and gave him back a piece of paper, which the boy took to his father to see what it was. “It tells about God,” his father said. from Radio Free Albemuth by Philip K. Dick

Nelcebee, Port Adelaide by aquilareen

Designed & built in Glasgow in 1883, transported in pieces on the “City of York” to Port Adelaide where she was reassembled for use as a tug & lighter in Port Pirie. Sold 1927, converted into a ketch with a diesel engine & 2 masts and served in SA’s coastal ports loading overseas ships with wool, wheat, barley & other goods for export. She was often in the news for running aground or being rammed and requiring repairs. Sold again 1962, she supplied Kangaroo Island until her retirement in 1982, she was removed from the water 2005 and now stands on shore adjacent to the “City of Adelaide’.

“Much inconvenience is felt on account of having no steam-tug in the Port. I believe Captain Wilson, late owner of the craft Star of Hope, has gone to England to purchase a suitable tug in time for next season.” [Port Augusta Dispatch 23 Aug 1882]

“Captain Wilson. . . another vessel to take the place of his Star of Hope. . . The hull, deckhouses, and decks are of iron, and the machinery is of the most modern description, the vessel having compound engines, with horizontal tubular boiler. The vessel is intended for towing and lighterage purposes, and during the construction had been supervised by Captain Wilson. The hull was built in the yard, and when put together the various plates and pieces were marked and numbered to facilitate fixing her up again on arrival here. The material was shipped on board the City of York, and directly it is landed here it will be put together and the craft launched as quickly as possible, when she will take up the old berth at Port Pirie.” [Register 20 Feb 1883]

“A boiler and engines were landed from the ship City of York on Thursday afternoon for a huge steam-tug to be employed at Port Pirie. The hull was also imported in pieces, and the vessel will be put together and rigged out at Port Adelaide.” [Advertiser 13 Apr 1883]

“The new steamer for Captain Wilson, which lately came out from Scotland in sections, is now being put together in Mr. Cruikshank's ship-building yard at Birkenhead, Port Adelaide. It is the largest vessel ever seen is the course of construction on a Port cradle. . .The vessel was designed and built by Messrs. T. B. Seath & Co., of Rutherglen, Glasgow, and is the 229th steamer constructed by them during the last quarter of a century. Seath & Co. are the shipbuilders for the Trinity Board of London, and are considered to be one of the best firms on the Clyde for the building of steamships.” [Advertiser 26 Apr 1883]

“the steamer Nelcebee, destined for the Spencer's Gulf trade, was launched from Cruickshank's shipbuilding-yard. The Nelcebee is an iron-built screw-steamer, 115 feet long, 19 feet beam, and 9 ft. 6 in. depth, and was the 229th boat designed by Mr. Seth, at Glasgow, where she was fitted up. She was sent out in pieces, and put together for Captain Wilson by Mr. Cruickshank.” [Evening Journal 21 Jun 1883]

“Fears are entertained at Port Adelaide in respect to the safety of the steamer Nelcebee, now more than a week overdue from Tasmania. She left Port Adelaide for Circular Head in ballast on August 1, arriving there safely in two or three days. She loaded 12 tons of potatoes for Mr. Charlick, of Port Adelaide, and steamed away in apparently good trim and condition on Tuesday, August 7, since which time she has not been heard of.” [Advertiser 20 Aug 1883]

“Kingscote, August 23. The missing steamer Nelcebee arrived here at 12 o'clock to-day. Captain Wilson reports that he left Circular Head on the 7th August. The wind having veered to the west-north-west he was obliged to go into Sea Elephant Bay, King's Island.” [Register 24 Aug 1883]

“The Nelcebee.— This steamer arrived at the Semaphore on Sunday, having been twenty days out from Circular Head, with a cargo of potatoes. . . all were well on board and had been so throughout. It further transpired that the reason for her non-arrival was the fact that during some very heavy weather the pumps choked with chips and rubbish, to such an extent that on returning to shelter there were seventeen buckets of rubbish and a bucket and a half of rivets taken from the bilges and pump-pipes.” [Register 27 Aug 1883]

“The steamer Nelcebee started for Port Pirie on Saturday. If the prospects of the harvest are only partly confirmed she will prove a valuable adjunct to the trade of that port, as she is adapted specially for towage and lighterage purposes.” [Advertiser 3 Sep 1883]

“Port Augusta. . . The City of Adelaide, for the United kingdom, was towed out on Saturday morning by the Nelcebee.” [Register 22 Oct 1883]

“Port Augusta. . . The last wool ship, the Ascalon, cleared this morning in tow of the Nelcebee. Her cargo, which consists of 4,502 bales of wool, besides several tons of horns, hoofs, and scrap iron, is estimated to be worth about £70,000, being the most valuable sent home this season.” [Weekly Chronicle 27 Oct 1883]

“Port Germein. . . The steamer Nelcebee, with an iron barge in tow, arrived safely with her charge this afternoon. The barge will hold 800 bags of wheat, and will be invaluable for lighterage purposes. The arrival of the Nelcebee and the Parliamentary party at the same time caused a little mild excitement.” [Advertiser 29 Nov 1883]

“Marine excursions seem to have taken on with the public during the last few months, owing, no doubt, to the very hot weather we have been experiencing. St. Patrick's Literary Society having decided to try one, the Steam Tug Company's boat, ‘Nelcebee’, was engaged for Tuesday, when a large crowd left the Semaphore Jetty, their route being towards Brighton, passing the anchorage, thus giving those on board an opportunity of seeing the English Mail Steamer.” [Southern Cross 19 Feb 1897]

“The old favourite Elder Liner Torrens was fully equipped for the homeward voyage on Wednesday, and in the latter part of the afternoon was towed out by the tug Nelcebee. The Torrens takes away a large assorted cargo for London, including 7,135 bags bark, 6.S02 bags concentrates, 1,789 ingots spelter, 1,016 bales wool, a quantity of skins and tallow, and 480 ingots copper. For St. Helena, where the vessel calls en route, she has a large quantity of grain, comprising 1,400 bags flour, 340 bags oats, and some bags of wheat and barley. There is also a consignment of dripping for St. Helena, comprising 340 cases. The Torrens, which left in charge of Captain Angel, had five passengers on board for London.” [Evening Journal 25 Mar 1897]

“Port Pirie. . . Whilst towing the Chiltonford out to-day the Nelcebee swung athwart the stream, and before she could be straightened the Chiltonford drifted on her forcing the Nelcebee's bow through a plate of the Clackmannanshire.” [Advertiser 8 Jun 1897]

“The Adelaide Steamtug Company is said to have entered into a contract with the Broken Hill Proprietary Company to convey about 1,000 tons of ironstone flux from Iron Knob to Port Pirie weekly. It is expected that the hulks York and Urebus, along with the tug Nelcebee, will shortly be dispatched to Port Pirie for this purpose.” [Evening Journal 12 Aug 1901]

“Port Pirie. . . The tug Nelcebee, which left here yesterday for south-east ports to engage in lightering wool, is reported to be ashore on Bird Island, near Wallaroo.” [Register 29 Oct 1901]

“the steamer Nelcebee, which was stranded on Bird Island in heavy weather on Monday last, had been floated. She was got off at 7 o'clock on Friday morning, and left in tow of the launch Mermaid for Wallaroo.” [Advertiser 2 Nov 1901]

“Tugboat Nelcebee collides with dolphin. . . The Nelcebee, with Captain Anderson in charge, left the jetty at Hummocks Hill at .midnight with about nine passengers on board and a barge in tow. A strong ebb tide was running at the time, and this swept the Nelcebee close into the dolphin, some feet away from the jetty, and the vessel hit the obstruction when passing. The captain and crew were so busy attending to the barge that the mishap was not noticed at the time. . . The first mate had a boat lowered, and conveyed the passengers to the jetty. . . When the tide rose there was four feet of water in the cabins and mess room.” [Port Pirie Recorder 29 Feb 1916]

“the Adelaide Steamtug Company's Nelcebee, which has been carrying passengers and cargo between Port Pirie and Whyalla, and was being withdrawn for overhaul.” [Chronicle 5 Jun 1926]

“Wharf visitors at Port Adelaide have expressed curiosity concerning a grey-painted vessel with steamer lines, but having the sailer rig, lying at Darling's Wharf, Birkenhead. A complete transformation. . . few would recognise the craft as the former steamer Nelcebee, which for many years did yeoman service in Spencer's Gulf.” [News 19 Jan 1928]

“Two vessels that changed hands recently were slipped today for repainting below waters mark and to permit other work being done. They are the Eleanor and Nelcebee. Both ships were at one time steam driven and were used for towing purposes. They are now sail rigged, and in both vessels motor engines are to be fitted to provide auxiliary power.” [News 21 Jan 1928]

“A collision occurred in the Port River yesterday afternoon between the Coast Steamship Company's small steamer Warrawee and the ketch Nelcebee, owned by Captain E. Hipkins. . . both vessels escaped without serious damage. At the time of the mishap the Warrawee was preparing to berth at McLaren wharf after completing the passage from Edithburgh, and the ketch was passing from the Basin through Robinson-bridge on her way down to the steamer Anglo Saxon, berthed at Queen's wharf.” [Advertiser 20 Jan 1931]

“The sight of the old Nelcebee — now privately owned and converted into an auxiliary craft-chugging its way down the river on Thursday morning roused recollections of the days when this boat was on the run between here and Hummocky Hill (as Whyalla was then called) under the command of Captain Benton. At least two trips a week used to be made in those times, and probably many will have painful memories of their experiences as passengers. In rough weather the Nelcebee used to have the reputation of being able to do anything but stand on her bow.” [Recorder, Port Pirie 11 Apr 1931]

“Port Victoria. . . Serious consequences were narrowly averted when the schooner Gerard and motor lighter Nelcebee came into collision last night. . . The Nelcebee had loaded 2,100 bags of wheat at Tumby Bay, and was bound for the barque Padua here. . . the Neleelbee's crew was transferred to the Gerard. Captain Hipkins stood by his ship, and when it was seen that there was hope of saving her the crew was recalled. Two hundred and fifty bags of wheat were hastily jettisoned, and with the Gerard standing by, the craft was steered for Wardang Island with all speed. Here the vessel was beached at one a.m. . . Much of the wheat will be damaged.” [Advertiser 27 Jan 1934]

“Temporarily patched up, the Nelcebee has returned to Port Adelaide and is now undergoing extensive repairs on the central slip at Birkenhead. No estimate of the damage has been prepared, but costs of repairs are expected to be heavy. The vessel was damaged six inches below the waterline, just forward of the bridge, and considerable damage was done to the upper decking.” [News 3 Feb 1934]

“The first Court of Marine Enquiry to sit in South Australia since 1918 began the hearing today of serious charges against the masters of two ketches, the Gerard and the Nelcebee.” [News 23 Apr 1934]

“Edward Henry Hipkins, jun., master of the ketch Nelcebee, was found guilty of culpable negligence, and his certificate of competency was suspended for six months. The court added a recommendation that during the period of suspension he should be granted a mate's certificate. Gustav Reinhold Emanuel Bergland, master of the auxiliary schooner Gerard, was found guilty of a technical offence, which in no way reflected upon his competency as a seaman. He was severely censured for not having kept a better look-out.” [News 5 May 1934]

“in the Supreme Court. . . opened the case for Caroline Hipkins, owner of the ship Nelcebee, who sued for £1200 damages from the captain and owners of the ship Gerard, which collided with the Nelcebee near Wardang Island, off Port Victoria, about midnight on January 25. The defendants, Oscar Einar Olsson, of first avenue, Cheltenham, Gustaf R. E. Bergland, of Bower road, Glanville, R. Fricker & Co., Ltd., of Lipson street, Port Adelaide, David Deex, of Durham terrace, Franklin, Percy R. Flicker, of Port Adelaide, and Doreen May Fricker, of Port Adelaide, counterclaimed £900 damages.” [Advertiser 18 May 1934]

“in the Supreme Court in Admiralty Jurisdiction Mr. Justice Piper found that the ship Nelcebee was free from blame in the collision with the Gerard. . . the master of the Gerard was to blame for not having had and maintained a proper look-out, and that the collision was caused by the negligent navigation of the Gerard. Judgment was given for Caroline Hipkins, owner of the Nelcebee, for damages to be decided by the Registrar, and costs to be decided by the court. . . The claim was for £1,200 damages, and by consent it was amended today to £1,800 damages.” [Recorder, Port Pirie 29 Jun 1934]

“Sydney. . . the High Court today dismissed with costs the appeal from Mr. Justice Piper's decision in favor of Caroline Hipkins, owner of the schooner Nelcebee, She had claimed £1,800 damages from the master and owners of the schooner Gerard. . . The master and owners of the Gerard counterclaimed for £900. Mr. Justice Starke considered that both vessels should be held to blame, with the result that the loss should be divided.” [News 29 Dec 1934]

“The fourth court proceedings regarding a collision at sea, near Wardang Island, between the schooners Nelcebee and Gerard, shortly before midnight on January 25, 1934, were begun yesterday, before a specially constituted Court of Marine Enquiry, at the Port Adelaide Courthouse.” [Advertiser 1 Jul 1936]

“The dismissal yesterday of charges against Capt. Edward H. Hipkins, jun., master of the auxiliary schooner Nelcebee, by the Court of Marine Inquiry presided over by Mr. President Kelly, marked the end of a long fight to have his name cleared, following a collision between his vessel and the auxiliary schooner Gerard off Port Victoria on January 25, 1934. . . The Court of Marine Inquiry. . . will report to the Harbors Board. It has no power to order that the certificate endorsement be expunged. . . request for this to be done would be considered by the members of the board.” [The Mail 18 Jul 1936]

“The Minister of Marine (Mr. Hudd) promised to have investigations made as to whether the endorsement on the certificate of the master of the Nelcebee, as a result of the collision with the Gerard, had been removed, in view of his exoneration by the Supreme and High Courts and a second Marine Court.” [Advertiser 29 Jul 1936]

“Additions to Port Nautical Museum. . . Capt. E. H. Hipkins has presented the key of the tug Nelcebee's propeller, taken out when the boiler and engine of that tug were removed, and she was converted to an auxiliary schooner.” [The Mail 1 May 1937]

“The Nelcebee which sailed out of Pirie in the past was a steam tug, and it came back yesterday as an auxiliary schooner. With two masts and a diminutive funnel abaft, the regenerated Nelcebee is for the moment on His Majesty's service, inspecting navigational lights and beacons. . . Now a privately owned vessel, the Nelcebee has been chartered by South Australian Harbors Board for her present trip. . . Her chief employment now is as a carrier of wheat and barley.” [Recorder, Port Pirie 20 Oct 1938]

“the old Nelcebee is still puffing her way round the coast of South Australia with wheat and other cargoes, and occasionally visits Pirie, the port in which, during her prime, she moved and tugged shipping amounting to many hundreds of thousands of tons.” [Recorder, Port Pirie 8 Apr 1939]

“Shipping at Port Vincent. The Nelcebee lifted 1,200 bags of barley on account of T. H. Webb.” [Pioneer, Yorketown 10 May 1940]

“The ketches Nelcebee and John Lewis have been busy lightering the remainder of last season's wheat to overseas ships anchored at Port Lincoln.” [Advertiser 9 Oct 1946]

“The Nelcebee ran aground on rocks and coral 200 yards from the shore about four miles west of Port Turton Jetty about 3 a.m. today. The vessel is holed near the bows, and the forward hold is flooded. Six people in the ketch are unharmed. They are the master (Capt. Brandford), his wife, and two-year-old daughter, and three crew members.” [The Mail 9 Jun 1951]

“The 168-ton ketch Nelcebee, stranded on a reef off Point Turton, Yorke Peninsula, may be abandoned as a total loss. Further attempts to get the Nelcebee off the reef have been left until Monday, when there will be a very low tide.” [News 14 Jun 1951]

“Nelcebee was towed off the rocks near Point Turton today, 12 days after it went aground. After the hull had been packed with 400 empty sealed drums and a canvas had been placed over the holed forward section, two other ketches, the Hawk and John Lewis, towed the Nelcebee to a sandy shore near Point Turton. The ketch was beached and an examination will be made to see if it is safe to tow it back to Port Adelaide.” [Advertiser 22 Jun 1951]

“The ketch Nelcebee will begin fortnightly cargo runs from Port Adelaide to Cowell on Monday week. . . A spokesman for the Nelcebee's owners, M. B. Crouch & Co., said today: 'The ketch will carry about 150 tons of cargo and will take about 36 hours each way. It has Diesel engines and a sail. The crew of six will be commanded by Captain A. H, Branford. The Nelcebee is well known in the SA coastal lightering trade. For many years it has carried grain from small ports to Port Lincoln, Wallaroo, and Port Pirie.” [The Mail 12 Jul 1952]

“Cowell. . . The Nelcebee arrived this week with 50 tons of general cargo and sailed with 400 bales of wool.” [Advertiser 9 Aug 1952]

Girls in Volendam in 1908. And the Volendam Café Fire. by pepandtim

1 1

The Postcard

A postally unused briefkaart that was published in 1908 by Dr. Trenkler Co. of Leipzig. The card has a divided back.

There are many postcards showing Dutch women and girls on this photostream, and they are almost invariably shown knitting.

Where boys are also present, they are usually shown wearing very baggy trousers and smoking a pipe, which would certainly not be allowed today.

Volendam

Volendam is a small town in North Holland in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Edam-Volendam. The town has about 22,000 inhabitants (November 2007), and is twinned with Coventry in the UK.

Originally, Volendam was the location of the harbour of the nearby Edam. However in 1357, the inhabitants of Edam dug a shorter canal to the Zuiderzee with its own separate harbour.

This removed the need for Volendam's original harbour, which was then dammed and used for land reclamation. Farmers and local fishermen settled there, forming the new community of Volendam, which literally meant 'Filled dam'.

In the early part of the 20th. century Volendam became an artists' retreat, with both Picasso and Renoir spending time there.

The majority of the population belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, which is deeply connected to the village culture. Historically, many missionaries and bishops grew up in Volendam. Today there is the chapel of Our Lady of the Water, which is located in a village park.

The Volendam Café Fire

The Volendam New Year's café fire occurred during the 2000–2001 New Year's night. The fire began early on New Year's Day 2001 and caused the death of 14 young people. 241 people were admitted to hospital, 200 of whom suffered serious burns.

The fire took place in a building that housed three bars. On New Year's Eve it was packed with more than 350 young people between 13 and 22 years of age when a short blaze happened in the café De Hemel ("Heaven") which was located on the top floor after a sparkler hit Christmas decorations that hung from the ceiling. The temperature in the room reached 400 °C (752 °F). Many of the partygoers were wearing highly flammable synthetic fabrics which clung to their flesh as they melted and burned.

There was great panic and the heat, lack of oxygen and people falling over each other made escaping extremely difficult. There also were bars in front of the windows and there were too few emergency exits, all of which contributed to the high number of injuries.

Survivors stated that shortly after the fire began, all the lights went out, contributing to the panic.

The first report reached the Amsterdam ambulance service at 00:38 local time on the 1st. January. The first fire engine arrived at 00:46.

Mayor Frank IJsselmuiden claimed that the crowd had panicked because all but one of the emergency exits were blocked.

Many of those injured were hurt when they smashed windows and leapt from third and second floor windows in an attempt to escape the fire. Others including 53 injured individuals were admitted due to burns, with some being flown to special burns units in Belgium and Germany.

Investigation Into the Fire

The fire was initially investigated intensively by media and politicians. New rules were introduced for decorations in cafés, nightclubs and other venues. The owner and managers of the building were indicted for culpability.

An inquiry showed that the owner Jan Veerman had been negligent in providing escape routes, as well as failing to soak the Christmas decorations with a fire-resistant substance. Also there were too many people in the building at the time of the incident.

The owner was given a conditional prison sentence and community service. As a result of the inquiry Mayor of Edam-Volendam Frank IJsselmuiden and alderman Wim Visscher resigned their positions.

Tourism in Volendam

Volendam is a popular tourist destination. It is well-known for its old fishing boats and the traditional clothing still worn by some residents.

The women's costume of Volendam, with its high, pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes, and is often featured on tourist postcards and posters (although there are believed to be fewer than 50 women now wearing the costume as part of their daily lives, most of them elderly).

There is a regular ferry connection to Marken, a peninsula close by.

Volendam also features a small museum about its history and clothing style, and visitors can have their pictures taken in traditional Dutch costumes.

Volendam on Film

Volendam was a shooting location in Vikas Bahl's 2014 Bollywood film, Queen. The actors established an Indian food shop called Rani's Gol Gappa.

The owner was an Italian, Marco Canadea, as Marcello. The role of Queen was played by Indian actress Kangana Ranaut.

The film follows the story of Rani Mehra, a diffident Punjabi girl from New Delhi who embarks on her honeymoon to Paris and Amsterdam by herself after her fiancé calls off their wedding.

Queen is cited as a ground-breaking and an influential feminist film by many scholars. Over the years, the film has built a strong cult following. It was named as one of the best films of the decade (2010's) by multiple publications such as Paste and Film Companion.

Several publications such as O, The Oprah Magazine, and Cosmopolitan have named it as one of the best films of Indian Cinema. Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express named Queen as one of the 75 finest and most iconic films made in India in the last 70 years.

Music in Volendam

Volendam is well known for its distinctive music, which is called Palingsound (literally "Eel Sound") in reference to Volendam's status as fishing village.

During the 1960's, the local group The Cats was a very popular group in the Netherlands and abroad.

Another band from Volendam was BZN, which became popular in the late 1960's and early 1970's. In 1995 BZN performed a duet with the ten-year-old Jan Smit, who quickly became a celebrity in his own right.

The popular music groups 3JS and Nick & Simon are famously from Volendam; their members have all participated in local musical performances through the years.

Child Graves in Aberfan Cemetery by Simon Downham

2 4

In February 2012 my wife and I took a break in the Welsh Valleys and paid a visit to the cemetery in the village of Aberfan. I was only nine years old when disaster struck this coal mining community. I was a similar age to the 116 children who lost their lives on that morning of 21st October 1966, when a mountainous avalanche of coal mining waste, buried their school.

The news coverage of that dreadful event echoed throughout Britain and around the world. Horrific images of the event were burned in my psyche. As a young child my heart went out to the people of Aberfan. Memories of their suffering and distress, remain vivid, in my memory.

When reading the gravestone inscriptions the depth of emotional loss that was experienced by those grieving parents, strikes home. They were fully justified in feeling outraged at the authorities. They had the power to prevent such a tragedy but were negligent. However there is no bitterness expressed on these memorials.

Instead, the messages here, reflect only shock, sadness, grief, love and hope. The sentiments are deeply personal and shared with us (the public). It was a humbling privilege to be included, to share in these parting thoughts and wishes.

I noted some recurring themes in the memorial messages. Certainly there was, powerful and enduring affection for those that had been lost. There was also a common sense of bewilderment, begging the question, why? Why did this have to happen. Some seemed committed to the belief that God may have taken their children as angels to heaven. In my experience, this concept is something that divides opinion with strong feelings. Whilst it is understandable that some seek solace from this idea, others might feel uncomfortable with it. They may ask, 'does a loving God do such things i.e. snatch children away from their parents, just to enlarge his own family?'

A child’s untimely death brings great sadness, hurt, and pain. What hope, then, do grieving parents have? According to the Bible writers (inspired by Holy Spirit) there will be a future resurrection on a paradise earth when beloved family members will be reunited. For example, in the Bible book of Acts 24:15 we read, " and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." And at John 5:28 we read, "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice". There are many other references that, when put together and seen in context, provide a picture for genuine hope.

A must see documentary about the horrible situation in Palestine and how it was back in 2002 - that was 21 years ago; and if you think it was bad then, it is many many more times WORSE now:

John Pilger: Palestine is Still the Issue (2002)

Also, I want to promote a great podcast by Ralph Nader; an american with great integrity and a true sense of justice. In his podcast The Ralph Nader Radio Hour, he has had many really great interviews and discussions about the ongoing conflict; among which I will mention and highly recommend:

- The Punishment of Gaza (published 14 October 2023) - where Nader meets with Haaretz columnist Gideon Levy to discuss recent attacks by Hamas and the Israeli military in Israel and Palestine. Then, international law expert Bruce Fein speaks about the recent violence, America's response, and America's historical culpability.

- A Strategy of Annihilation (published 28 October 2023) - where retired U.S. Army Colonel and senior advisor to the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Lawrence Wilkerson, offers his experienced and unsparing perspective. Then constitutional scholar, Bruce Fein, weighs in on how in this conflict the United States violates a number of international laws.

- A Genocide Tax (published 4 November 2023) - A truly excellent interview with Craig Mokhiber, who just resigned his post as the director in the New York Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights for the United Nations over the UN response to the bombing of Gaza. Also, a talk with CODEPINK peace activist, Medea Benjamin, who was recently arrested at a hearing on Capitol Hill, featuring Secretary of State Antony Blinken, for protesting the weapons bill for Israel moving through Congress - a protest worthy of the history books!

The Postcard

A postally unused Photochromie Series postcard that was published by D & N. The card, which was printed in Germany, has a divided back.

There are many postcards showing Dutch women and girls on this photostream, and they are almost invariably shown knitting.

Where boys are also present, they are usually shown wearing very baggy trousers and smoking a pipe, which would certainly not be allowed today.

Volendam

Volendam is a small town in North Holland in the Netherlands, in the municipality of Edam-Volendam. The town has about 22,000 inhabitants (November 2007), and is twinned with Coventry in the UK.

Originally, Volendam was the location of the harbour of the nearby Edam. However in 1357, the inhabitants of Edam dug a shorter canal to the Zuiderzee with its own separate harbour.

This removed the need for Volendam's original harbour, which was then dammed and used for land reclamation. Farmers and local fishermen settled there, forming the new community of Volendam, which literally meant 'Filled dam'.

In the early part of the 20th. century Volendam became an artists' retreat, with both Picasso and Renoir spending time there.

The majority of the population belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, which is deeply connected to the village culture. Historically, many missionaries and bishops grew up in Volendam. Today there is the chapel of Our Lady of the Water, which is located in a village park.

The Volendam Café Fire

The Volendam New Year's café fire occurred during the 2000–2001 New Year's night. The fire began early on New Year's Day 2001 and caused the death of 14 young people. 241 people were admitted to hospital, 200 of whom suffered serious burns.

The fire took place in a building that housed three bars. On New Year's Eve it was packed with more than 350 young people between 13 and 22 years of age when a short blaze happened in the café De Hemel ("Heaven") which was located on the top floor after a sparkler hit Christmas decorations that hung from the ceiling. The temperature in the room reached 400 °C (752 °F). Many of the partygoers were wearing highly flammable synthetic fabrics which clung to their flesh as they melted and burned.

There was great panic and the heat, lack of oxygen and people falling over each other made escaping extremely difficult. There also were bars in front of the windows and there were too few emergency exits, all of which contributed to the high number of injuries.

Survivors stated that shortly after the fire began, all the lights went out, contributing to the panic.

The first report reached the Amsterdam ambulance service at 00:38 local time on the 1st. January. The first fire engine arrived at 00:46.

Mayor Frank IJsselmuiden claimed that the crowd had panicked because all but one of the emergency exits were blocked.

Many of those injured were hurt when they smashed windows and leapt from third and second floor windows in an attempt to escape the fire. Others including 53 injured individuals were admitted due to burns, with some being flown to special burns units in Belgium and Germany.

Investigation Into the Fire

The fire was initially investigated intensively by media and politicians. New rules were introduced for decorations in cafés, nightclubs and other venues. The owner and managers of the building were indicted for culpability.

An inquiry showed that the owner Jan Veerman had been negligent in providing escape routes, as well as failing to soak the Christmas decorations with a fire-resistant substance. Also there were too many people in the building at the time of the incident.

The owner was given a conditional prison sentence and community service. As a result of the inquiry Mayor of Edam-Volendam Frank IJsselmuiden and alderman Wim Visscher resigned their positions.

Tourism in Volendam

Volendam is a popular tourist destination. It is well-known for its old fishing boats and the traditional clothing still worn by some residents.

The women's costume of Volendam, with its high, pointed bonnet, is one of the most recognizable of the Dutch traditional costumes, and is often featured on tourist postcards and posters (although there are believed to be fewer than 50 women now wearing the costume as part of their daily lives, most of them elderly).

There is a regular ferry connection to Marken, a peninsula close by.

Volendam also features a small museum about its history and clothing style, and visitors can have their pictures taken in traditional Dutch costumes.

Volendam on Film

Volendam was a shooting location in Vikas Bahl's 2014 Bollywood film, Queen. The actors established an Indian food shop called Rani's Gol Gappa.

The owner was an Italian, Marco Canadea, as Marcello. The role of Queen was played by Indian actress Kangana Ranaut.

The film follows the story of Rani Mehra, a diffident Punjabi girl from New Delhi who embarks on her honeymoon to Paris and Amsterdam by herself after her fiancé calls off their wedding.

Queen is cited as a ground-breaking and an influential feminist film by many scholars. Over the years, the film has built a strong cult following. It was named as one of the best films of the decade (2010's) by multiple publications such as Paste and Film Companion.

Several publications such as O, The Oprah Magazine, and Cosmopolitan have named it as one of the best films of Indian Cinema. Shubhra Gupta from The Indian Express named Queen as one of the 75 finest and most iconic films made in India in the last 70 years.

Music in Volendam

Volendam is well known for its distinctive music, which is called Palingsound (literally "Eel Sound") in reference to Volendam's status as fishing village.

During the 1960's, the local group The Cats was a very popular group in the Netherlands and abroad.

Another band from Volendam was BZN, which became popular in the late 1960's and early 1970's. In 1995 BZN performed a duet with the ten-year-old Jan Smit, who quickly became a celebrity in his own right.

The popular music groups 3JS and Nick & Simon are famously from Volendam; their members have all participated in local musical performances through the years.
