Divers remove the thick layer of coral rubble from the seafloor using a vacuum hose attached to a boat. We needed to clear away the corals broken from the ship grounding so that they wouldn't get swept up and damage intact corals.

On Feb. 4, 1999, the New Carissa freighter ship went aground off the southern Oregon Coast, only 150 yards from beach managed by the BLM.
The ensuing environmental catastrophe went on for more than nine years, until the last of the wrecked haul was removed from the North Spit beach in the summer of 2008.
After efforts to move the 639-foot-long freighter failed, the decision was made to scrap the boat and burn the fuel to avoid a larger oil spill.
At one point, the pounding ocean caused the New Carissa to break in half. The bow section was towed a couple hundred miles out and sunk to the bottom of the ocean.
Dozens of municipal, state and federal agencies worked together for years to mitigate the accident. One main priority was protecting a nearby population of western snowy plovers, a threatened species of shorebird.
Hundreds of birds died because of the New Carissa grounding – 537 total – but no snowy plovers, according to NOAA.
Visitors today can visit the North Spit, just off U.S. Route 101 near Coos Bay and North Bend, and imagine the dramatic scene 20 years ago while strolling the sand dunes.

Like many of the fans who endured the cold, drizzly conditions inside Reliant Stadium to start the game, the Texans took a few minutes to warm up Sunday afternoon in the regular season finale against the Chicago Bears.
After a wake-up call courtesy of a momentum-changing sack by defensive end Mario Williams and a stern message from coach Gary Kubiak, the fans were treated to a spectacular offensive display led by Pro Bowler Andre Johnson and rookie running back Steve Slaton .
The 31-24 win gave Houston its second-consecutive 8-8 record to end the season, and it shut out the Bears from postseason contention.
Texans owner Bob McNair admired the team's strong finish to the season.
"I'd rather be 16-0," McNair said. "But I think starting out the way we did, 0-4, coming back, understand that only nine other teams have ever done that (start 0-4 and finish .500 or better) in this history of the NFL. So I think it was an accomplishment for our team."
Early on, the Texans appeared to suffer from the same malaise they showed at Oakland a week earlier. But the team erased a 10-0 deficit in the first quarter with 21 unanswered points to take a 21-10 lead early in the third quarter.
In that stretch, Johnson scored back-to-back touchdowns to bring the franchise-record crowd of 70,838 to its feet. The Pro Bowler finished with 10 catches for 148 yards (14.8 avg.) to end the season with the NFL lead in receptions (115) and receiving yards (1,575).
Meanwhile, Slaton rebounded from a first half in which he totaled only 19 rushing yards and lost a fumble to put the offense on his back in the final quarter of play. By gaining 128 total yards from scrimmage and scoring a touchdown in the game, Slaton may have sealed NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year honors.
Slaton’s five-yard gain with 1:24 remaining in the contest gave Houston a first down and allowed the team to run out the remainder of the clock.
"I really like the way we came back and played after we played pretty poorly on both sides of the ball throughout the first quarter," Kubiak said.
Chicago scored its first touchdown with 5:57 remaining in the first quarter when wide receiver Brandon Lloyd stretched out for a four-yard touchdown grab near the front left pylon. A 15-yard reception by wide receiver Devin Hester and a 15-yard penalty on defensive end Tim Bulman for roughing the passer set up the score.
Wide receiver André Davis ' 39-yard kickoff return down the Bears' sideline gave the Texans solid field position at their 42-yard line to begin their second possession. But Slaton fumbled on the first play from scrimmage after being tackled by cornerback Charles Tillman. Defensive end Alex Brown recovered the fumble and returned it 17 yards to the Houston 38.
Three plays later, Robbie Gould's 37-yard field goal made the score 10-0.
The next drive started promising when quarterback Matt Schaub threw a tight spiral to Davis for a 33-yard gain up the middle of the field. But tight end Owen Daniels was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness on the next play, and Schaub was flagged 10 yards for intentional grounding one play later to derail the drive and force a punt.
Upon returning to the sideline, the offense received an earful from Kubiak.
"I just didn't think we were going about our business the way we were capable of playing," Kubiak said. "That's not us. We're usually a pretty poised group as a football team and right there is losing poise and getting a shot in on a guy and all of a sudden it took a lot of momentum away from us."
With 11:26 left in the first half, Chicago took over at the Houston 49 following a three-and-out series by the Texans. But Williams saved the defense with his 12th sack of the season by tackling quarterback Kyle Orton at the Chicago 45 for a 10-yard loss on third down.
From there, Johnson caught three passes for 72 yards, including a 43-yard touchdown where he dragged two defenders with him over the goal line. Kris Brown's extra point cut the Bears' lead to 10-7 with 5:50 remaining before halftime.
Running back Ryan Moats forced a fumble on the ensuing kickoff when he tackled Devin Hester. Brown dove on the ball at the Chicago 38 for the Texans' first takeaway.
On third-and-goal at the three-yard line, Schaub threw a fade route to Johnson in the back right corner of the end zone, and Johnson ripped away the ball from Tillman for the score.
Safety Danieal Manning returned the opening kickoff of the second half 40 yards to the Chicago 45. But on third-and-six, rookie safety Dominique Barber blitzed off the right side to sack Orton for a nine-yard loss.
Picking up where he left off in the first half, Johnson gained 21 yards to the Houston 48 on his first reception of the third quarter. Later, Slaton's 17-yard catch and wide receiver Kevin Walter's 23-yard grab helped give the Texans a first down at the Chicago 17.
Moats scored his first touchdown with the team on a two-yard rush off the left guard to cap the nine-play drive. Brown's extra point extended the Texans' lead to 21-10 with 8:30 left in the third quarter.
The Bears refused to lie down and responded with a seven-play, 77-yard drive over 3:00. A 37-yard catch by Hester to the Texans' one-yard line set up Orton's touchdown pass to tight end Greg Olsen.
Late in the third quarter, the Texans moved into scoring range thanks to a 33-yard catch by Daniels to the Chicago 15. On third-and-10 at the 15-yard line, wide receiver David Anderson made a diving nine-yard reception, and Schaub dove forward on fourth down to keep the drive alive.
Following two short rushes by Slaton, Schaub's pass intended for Anderson on third-and-goal from the four-yard line fell incomplete, setting up Brown's 22-yard field goal.
Following a Chicago punt to the Houston 11 midway through the fourth quarter, Schaub drove the offense 89 yards in 11 plays. On the first play of the series, he avoided a safety on first down by tossing a pass in the flats to Slaton, who outran a defensive lineman for an 11-yard gain. Two plays later, Slaton rushed for 47 yards before Manning tackled him at the Chicago 29.
A 14-yard reception by Johnson set up Slaton's 15-yard touchdown run, but a holding call on right guard Mike Brisiel negated the score. On the next run by Slaton, he was tackled and fumbled after a one-yard run, but Kubiak challenged the call. Replays showed Slaton's elbow was down before the ball came loose, and officials overturned the call.
On third-and-14, Bears linebacker Nick Roach was penalized for holding, giving the Texans an automatic first down at the 14-yard line. Slaton capped the team’s second-consecutive 11-play series with a two-yard touchdown run to make the score 31-17 after Brown's extra point.
The Bears made things interesting by picking apart the Texans' prevent defense on an 11-play, 72-yard drive over 1:55. On fourth-and-one at the Houston 11, Orton dove forward for a first down at the two-minute warning. He moved the Bears to the one-yard line by finding running back Adrian Peterson open on a nine-yard screen pass.
Safety Eugene Wilson was injured on the play, resulting in a burned timeout for Houston. Once play was restored, Orton pushed his way over the goal line for a touchdown that made the score 31-23 with 1:29 left in the game.
But Gould’s onside kick was recovered by Walter at the Chicago 44, and Slaton preserved the win on his final carry of the game for five yards and a first down.

The beginning of 2024 has not been a good start to The Boeing Company after suffering a major setback following the accident involving an Alaska Airlines Being 737 MAX 9 on 5th January 2024, which saw the aircraft suffering a rapid decompression when the aft door plug blew out on climb out from Portland, Oregon. The resulting accident saw the US FAA issue an emergency airworthiness directive which were also implemented by other aviation agencies, and the eventual grounding of Boeing 737 MAX 9s featuring the plugged doors.
The investigation relating to Alaska Airlines Flight 1282 remains ongoing with the US NTSB being the lead investigators of the accident; however, information continues to come out relating to the accident and the wider issues surrounding Boeing and the use of subcontractors, in this case, Spirit AeroSystems who manufacture the Boeing 737 fuselages.
Since the accident, both Alaska Airlines and United Airlines, the biggest operators of the Boeing 737 MAX 9 at the time of writing noted loose bolts where the plug door assembly is located. Prior to the accident, there have issues relating to missing rivets from select Boeing 737 fuselages that were manufactured by Spirit AeroSystems leading to Boeing's Renton factory to delay deliveries for additional inspections to fuselages when they undergo final assembly.
The case of the incident airframe recently came to light and has been reported by the reputable The Air Current aviation news site; essentially this airframe was amongst the number of fuselages that were inspected by Boeing during final assembly which also saw the aft plug door being removed and incorrectly reinstalled following inspection and prior to delivery... At no time following delivery did Alaska Airlines inspect or remove the plug door during inauguration into traffic.
As airlines have continued to inspect the Boeing 737 MAX 9s and Boeing issuing guidance to resolve these issues, the US FAA have recently lifted the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX 9s, on the proviso that they have been thoroughly inspected and there are no defects with the plug door. As of 25th January 2024, Copa Airlines were the first airline to reintroduce select Boeing 737 MAX 9s back into service, with Alaska Airlines expected to return their Boeing 737 MAX 9s into service as early as 26th January 2024, and United Airlines reintroducing theirs no later than 28th January 2024.
The grounding has caused further damage to Boeing's reputation, the company still grappling following the 2 previous Boeing 737 MAX 8 accidents in late-2018 and early-2019, the ongoing delayed certification of the Boeing 737 MAX 7, Boeing 737 MAX 10 and the Boeing 777X, as well as slow deliveries of the Boeing 787 following the restarting of their production. Airlines have gone on record to express their dissatisfaction with Boeing over recent issues. Alaska Airlines have also faced criticism for not inspecting the aircraft following delivery from Boeing, and the subject to joke in a sketch by Saturday Night Live.
The FAA as a result of the accident will increase oversight relating to the production of Boeing 737 MAX airframes, to ensure due diligence with quality control inspections; any increase in production rate to the narrow-body jet won't go-ahead unless meeting requirements by the FAA. This year will be make or break for Boeing...
Currently, Alaska Airlines operates 232 Boeing 737s, which includes which includes 11 Boeing 737-700s, 3 Boeing 737-700BDSFs, 59 Boeing 737-800s, 2 Boeing 737-800BCFs, 12 Boeing 737-900s, 79 Boeing 737-900ERs, one Boeing 737 MAX 8 and 65 Boeing 737 MAX 9s. Alaska Airlines have 14 Boeing 737 MAX 8s, 15 Boeing 737 MAX 9s and 102 Boeing 737 MAX 10s on-order.
November Nine Two Zero Alpha Kilo is one of 65 Boeing 737 MAX 9s operated by Alaska Airlines, delivered new to the carrier on 20th September 2021 and she is powered by 2 CFM International LEAP-1B28 engines.
Boeing 737-9 MAX N920AK powers out from Runway 25R at Los Angeles (LAX), California on AS1263 to Redmond Municipal-Roberts Field (RDM), Oregon.

The Smart Meter Shield Set is a set of two RF Shielding flexible materials with a grounding cord to provide protection against smart meter radiation. The first material is made of Nickel-Copper RF shielding Fabric that reflects the RF radiation with vastly superior tarnish and corrosion resistance due to nickel plating. Polyester ripstop base fabric has been used in this material to provide toughness and lightweight both. The material is only 0.08 mm thick and has a surface resistance of 0.01-0.03 Ohm/ sq. Nickel has been used in this product and as it can cause skin allergies, the material should not come in direct contact with skin. Protective gloves should be used while handling the product. The second material is a microwave absorbing material with a plastic coating on both sides so that the product could be used much easier.
Folks, we at The Shop have a new offering for your design needs: grids!
Are you making a retrowave/synthwave/1980s piece, and need the right grounding element? Are you composing a mid-century modern mood board, and need some visual structure? Are you crafting a collage, and need a nifty pattern? We have you covered.
The set includes forty-five (45) base assets, themselves available in a few different variations. There are scans of real vintage graph paper sheets (metric units). There are scans of printed grids (imperial units). There are scans of two different sets of hand-drawn grids (imperial units). There are distorted grids, created manually while scanning.
Because these are made out of assets that were scanned in, they retain a particular texture, and grain, that makes all of them unique.
In addition to all of this, there are matching transparent PNG versions, Bitmap TIFF versions, and even vector versions. This set will be your new go-to for grids, regardless of the scale you need to work in. And of course, all files are clearly labeled, and organized, as usual.
