The 50 years since the grounding of the tanker Torrey Canyon in 1967 have seen dramatic and sustained reduction in major oil spills from ships, thanks to cooperation between Governments and industry.
The story of how that incident served as a catalyst for positive change is told in a new exhibition which was launched on Monday (16 January) at the headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the United Nations agency with responsibility for the safety and security of international shipping and the prevention of pollution from ships.

An interested crowd of spectators gathered at the foreshore near Arbroath harbour following the grounding of a small coastal steamer, the Florence, on rocks outside the harbour at the beginning of October, 1938. The vessel's seven-strong crew was rescued by the Arbroath motor lifeboat, RNLB John and William Mudie. The vessel had left Bo'ness with a cargo of 290 tons of coal for Arbroath Corporation Gas Works. When she arrived at Arbroath, she received a signal from the coastguard that there would not be enough water for her to berth for two days, because of the neap tides. The captain decided to make for the open sea and was in process of weighing anchor when a strong south-easterly gale and heavy seas drove his ship on to the Knuckle Rock. After the crew had been rescued, the vessel moved from the Knuckle Rock on to rocks nearer the shore. The captain and a surveyor later boarded the ship and made an examination when it was found that she had been holed both fore and aft and the engine and boilers had been forced out of poisition by the pounding the ship had received. By the end of October, the owners, Fallows Steamship Company, Liverpool, had given up hope of salvaging the vessel and locals were given permission to take what they could of her cargo.

The storm over the grounding of the container ship Rena on a reef just off this coast is still growing, even after the beaches have been re-opened through the efforts of thousands of volunteers working over 100s of kilometres of coastline to clean up the tons of oil deposited. thank you

At any one time it is estimated that there may be as many as 20,000 aircraft in the skies worldwide.
The grounding of planes for 3 days in USA after September 11, 2001 provided a rare opportunity for scientists to study the effects of contrails on climate forcing.
Measurements showed that without contrails, the local diurnal temperature range (difference of day and night temperatures) was about 1 degree Celsius higher than immediately before.
Even as a little boy,
Playing in the siphoned mud,
Amsterdam was filling in the polders with, so it could build a new subdivision...
Even then the feeling of hands grounded in wet dirt was as good as it could get.
Vitamin G (Green and Grounding) draws me daily to feel the earth, pull the odd string of grass, protect a warm by covering it lightly,
And periodically bringing my dirty hands to my nose for a whiff.

Inveneo is proud to be an implementing partner with Creative Associates in the Tanzania 21st Century Basic Education Program (Tz21) where our role is to lead the technology intervention design and deployment with Kicheko Ltd, our Inveneo Certified ICT Partner (ICIP) in Tanzania. Together, Inveneo and Kicheko have been instrumental in introducing sustainable technology solutions that are relevant to rural Tanzanian schools that often lack electrical power and ICT skilled staff.
Recently we passed a major milestone in the program - the deployment of information and communication technologies to 5 pilot schools.
Dr. H.E. Kavishe of Kicheko, Wayan Vota and Jen Overgaag of Inveneo, assisted by a cadre of Kicheko technicians, installed a mix of laptops, desktops, LED projectors and related networking and power equipment at Naliendele, Kambarage, Darajani, and Kisiwandui Primary Schools, and Machakaeni Teacher Center.
The pilot deployment is testing technology configurations and the installation was used to train local engineers on Inveneo installation methodologies in preparation for the major ICT deployment to all schools, scheduled for early 2012.

4479. Since weather is so much a part of the atmosphere of things, we hope everyone has enjoyed these fireside reminiscences of HMAS BARCOO'S grounding at West beach, Gleneg, during the great 'hurricane' of '48.
BARCOO is again seen here being brought into Port Adelaide by the sloop HMAS WARREGO after the survey frigate was re-floated. She was found to have suffered no damage, having come ashore on a sandy bottom.
There was a history of HMAS BARCOO written ' HMAS Barcoo - The story of a Ship and her Ship's Company' by Robert McAuslan, published in 1995, but it is a scarce volume, and we have not been unable to access it. Maybe in time.
BARCOO was decommissioned on 21 February 1964, and sold for scrapping on February 15, 1972 to N.W. Kennedy Ltd of Vancouver Canada. She was scrapped in Taiwan later that year.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION IN COMMENTS BELOW: From Les Roberts
HMAS BARCOO sailed to Sydney under her own steam and had the following repairs done in the Fitzroy Dock, Cockatoo Island:
1. A/S Dome replaced.
2. Part of Port bilge keel removed, straightened and then replaced.
3. Bottom 25% of rudder removed and replaced.
4. Starboard propeller replaced, as tips were slightly turned.
5. All underwater fittings refitted.

The "Longone" already stripped four days after it's grounding on the rocks of Spirit's Bay, NZ.
According to the Northland Ages report on January 28th, 2010:
While the owner of this yacht tried to deliver people to the Spirits Bay Beach, gusty winds and a large swell sealed the fate of "The Longone".
And to add insult to injury, only one person on the beach offered assistance. No sooner was the yacht grounded on the rocks, did other by-standers immediately start looting. Taking anything from electronics to clothing and food. The paper goes on to compare the looters like locusts grabbing everything.
No one was injured and the yacht was insured and this is the important thing.
Another story was published in the same newspaper on February 7, 2010 with another side to the story from people on the beach. There is now contradiction to the original story and the chain of events.
Both stories can be read at the following links, you can decide for yourself.

The Postcard
A postcard that was photographed and published by R. Wilkinson & Co. of Trowbridge. The card was printed in Germany.
The card was posted in Winscombe on Friday the 16th. April 1915 to:
Miss Mayers,
'Hermosa',
Conway Road,
Paignton,
Devon.
The long message that was squeezed on to the divided back of the card was as follows:
"c/o Mrs. Pocock,
Bay Tree House,
Shipham,
Winscombe,
Somerset.
16/4/15.
Dear Janice,
I was very pleased to get a letter
from you yesterday & to hear that
you are all well, and that things
are going on all right with plenty
to do as there always is.
I am getting on very well & still
improving in health.
I went to Axbridge yesterday in
the morning, and in the afternoon
we went to Burrington Combe, a
place where the hymn Rock of
Ages was composed by the Rev.
Toplady - a nice old cleft in the
rock.
There were 18 of us from the
Hydro. Some of us walked round,
others in motor.
We boiled a kettle and had tea in
the open. The first they have had
this year, but they often have a
picnic in the summer, it was fine.
Glad to hear the soldiers are still
staying on.
I have not heard from Harold, I
expect his time is well taken up.
Glad to hear he has been home
and is well.
I should like you to see the hills
round here they are fine.
So I will conclude with love to all.
Yours affectionately,
R. Lenman".
It is possible that the sender of the card was recuperating after being wounded in the Great War.
The Grounding of a British Submarine
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 16th. April 1915, British submarine HMS E15 ran aground at Kepez, Çanakkale, Turkey. The vessel was shelled by Ottoman forces while stranded, killing seven crew members including the sub's commander.
The surviving crew members were captured and taken to Istanbul where six of them died during imprisonment.
The Grounding of SS Eglantine
Also on that day, British cargo ship SS Eglantine ran aground at Filey, Yorkshire, England. There was no loss of lives, but the ship was a total loss.
The First Catapult Launch
Also on the 16th. April 1915, the United States Navy conducted the first aircraft catapult launch from a floating platform at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida.
'The Actor and the Rube'
The day also marked the release of the silent film 'The Actor and the Rube', starring Riley Chamberlin and Boyd Marshall. The film received widely positive reviews for its low-key humour and less reliance on slapstick comedy.

Electromagnetic fields are dangerous to our health which is clearly specified by researchers, but the degree of severity is still unknown. It is true that electromagnetic causes EMF sensitivity that has no specified symptoms. But no matter whether they cause any harmful health issues or not, the presence if these fields are not good for you.
