Diefenbunker: Canada's Cold War Museum
MESSAGE CONTROL CENTRE
Coded messages would have flooded into the Bunker during a nuclear attack. Throughout CFS Corp's operational years during the Cold War, the Message Control Centre (MCC) had to sort them quickly and accurately.
Staff at the MCC logged, processed, duplicated, and distributed all incoming and messages. They also had to ensure outgoing messages were authenticated and formatted before transmission. Even small errors could be catastrophic in a crisis.
Five staff members per shift handled outside messages, as well as the internal message system within the Bunker.
Notice the pass-through slot in the wall-cryptographers in the next room were ready to decode incoming messages and encode those being sent out.
The large number, like on an athletic jersey but inverted, and the plaid flannel, and the letters that could actually form a word, but maybe they're a code . . . it all must add up for her!
I guess it's a hockey star-lumber jack thing.
I was willing to wait. The dismantling of 'Don't Ask Don't Tell" wasn't as high a priority as health care reform and the financial crisis.
But the DOJ brief on the Defense of Marriage case makes where we stand with the administration clear - Gay Marriage is equatable with incestous marriages.
In the same week you, the President of the United States of America, speak of being ever vigilant against prejudice. We are told that hate is un-American, except, it seems, for homophobia.
EDIT: Yes, I understand that incest was an analogy to make the point of the right of states to define marriages for themselves. The fact that it was thought appropriate as an analogy is telling enough....as is the filling of a brief in favor of DOMA

I was hoping this gen-u-ine message in a bottle would be from a princess trapped on a pirate's island in medieval times or Terry Waite or something, but no, it was written ON THE DAY I FOUND IT by people who I'm fairly sure hadn't even bothered to throw it in some water. It reads: 'Hi! We have just had an excellent lunch washed down by the contents of this bottle and now we are going to the opera. What about you?'

This message has been on display at one of the neighborhood Baptist churches for a couple weeks or more. Seems to be that when they have “a good one,” they let it go for a pretty good run. I’ll have to admit, this one does give me something to think about, every time I pass by. I wondered, for instance, if it was a thought that just popped into the head of the pastor one recent day. I kind of doubted that though. The logical thing to do, of course, is a bit of quick Googling. Which revealed that – as suspected – the witty and pithy homily has been bouncing around for a while.
For instance, Brandon, a blogger who describes himself as a Christian gay guy from Kentucky, wrote in 2007 that one of his favorite quotes is “if you stop to give the devil a ride, eventually he'll want to be the one doing the driving.”
www-afterthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/12/if-you-give-devil-...
Another blogger, a Cathy Deaton, also took the quote as a jumping-off point for a posting on her website, which is titled "Who God Is." Her version of the saying is, "Never give the devil a ride, he’ll want to take over the driving." She attributes it to "anonymous."
who-god-is.com/never-give-the-devil-a-ride
I can't find the date of writing or posting, but another writer on the web, Robert Longman, uses a slightly different version of the quote ...
Never give the devil a ride.
He'll always want to drive.
This is in his discussion of "Spiritual Battles."
www.spirithome.com/warfare-teachings.html
But anyway, as mentioned, this little quote has served as grist for a good deal of commentary and discussion. It also got me wondering on a somewhat wider scope. Specifically, about how references to "Satan" come up fairly often in utterances from some of the Muslim clerics and leaders. They especially like to refer to the U.S. as the "great satan" of the world. So, I wondered how that little line or two would translate into Arabic. I'll bet it wouldn't come out on the other side with the same meaning that's attached to it in the uses cited above. It might just sound strange. Or funny. Or, who knows?
20190323_3693_7D2-26 Chalk Message #4
It is nearly eight days since the horrific mosque shootings in Christchurch and it has been a difficult week. 50 people died in two locations in the city.
Photography has not been a major focus, and if it wasn't for the fact that I am into my fourth year of a "photo a day" project I would have put the camera away for a few days.
We took our grandson Ethan to his children's cricket game this morning at his home ground of Edgar McIntosh Park, and beside the field were a lot of chalk drawn messages, all on the footpath apart from a couple on the rear wall of the Papanui Bowling Club building, and presumably from school children sometime during the week.

شاهه جي مڪمل ڪلام جو انگريزي زبان/ ٻوليءَ ۾ سليس ۽ تز ترجمو
خاصڪري جيڪي سنڌي خاندان ملڪ توڙي ملڪ کان ٻاهر اهڙي هنڌ آهن، جتي سنڌي زبان لکڻ پڙهڻ سان سنڌن گهٽ واسطو آهي،انهن سڀني لاءِ هيءُ شاه جو رسالو ( Message of Shah ) ڪارآمدثابت ٿيندو۔
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Message of Shah is an English interpretation of nearly 3400 lyrics from a magnum opus of mystic melodies called شاهه جو رسالو renditioned by a polyglot poet, philosopher and musicologist Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. The poetry give a glimpse of the metaphysical precepts of genesis of being and canons of the Sufi doctrine of وحدت الوجود or unity of existence.
Metaphorical poetry immortalizes the legendary Queens of Sindhi folklore and also enunciates ethos of ascetics, peasants, sailors, fishermen, spinners and bards. Distinctive feature of the passionate poetry is its lyrical rendition, which conforms to the recognized ragas. Sixteen of these ragas are adapted while fourteen are invention of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai.
The Message of Shah seeks to retain the philosophical flavor and didactic, romantic and epic metaphors in the pristine poetry that echo a spiritual voyage through pastures, prairies, deserts, hills and harbors of Indus valley civilization.

Every single car, walker, and passerby saw this #lightbrigade message heading in and out of tonight's Governors Conference, which is in Milwaukee all weekend, including several governors who recently inked legislation attacking women.
"When the status of a Native American is demoted to that of a caricature, we are objectified and diminished as a people. We become entertainment, not fellow citizens. How are you supposed to take me seriously if all you see is the stereotypical image of the Hollywood or sports mascot Indian?"

Direction: Are you rich? If not, who is? How much does it take to be rich? Many of us are wrestling with heightened concerns in the midst of today’s struggling economy. While our financial margin (strength) should be increasing, for many of us it seems to be shrinking. In this series we will be looking at how to find God in a difficult economy and ‘how to be rich’.
Other important info: TIM 6:17-19 (NIV) Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
Clarification: If you want to see my private photos:
1) Add me as a contact first (friend preferred since I will have to add you as a friend)
2) Send me a short message if we haven't spoken before just so I know who you are.
Important note: Please refrain from using my work without permission. I'll be nice about it if you ask! Thank you all in advance.

A bit further along in the Arecibo Message. You can follow the full message by walking along the length of the model. This is my attempt to show the message in "4D" - as a function of not only space, but of time as well.
1679 LEGO plates were used to depict the message - each 3.2mm tall. The total length of the 4d-configuration is 5.37 meters, or 17.6 feet.
The Postcard
An Artistique Series postcard that was published by the Inter-Art Co. of Florence House, Barnes, London SW13. The artwork was by A. A. Nash, and the card was printed in Great Britain. The card would have been published during the Great War as a morale booster.
It did come right in the end, but too late for the vast numbers of men and women (and children) who died in the conflict.
The card was posted on Monday the 25th. November 1918, two weeks after the end of the Great War. It was sent to:
Miss Babie James,
Agra Ville,
Kings Road,
Fleet,
Hants.
The message on the divided back was as follows:
"I know a little girlie and
her name is Babie-Boo,
and I think she loves her
Daddy and her Mummie,
Tootle Loo.
For Dear Babie, with heaps
of love and sweetie kisses,
From Daddy and Mummie."
A Ceasefire at Abercorn
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 25th. November 1918, General Paul von Lettow-Vorbeck, commander of German forces in German East Africa, signed a ceasefire at Abercorn, Northern Rhodesia.
His was the last German force to end hostilities in the Great War.
Philip Streczyk
The day also marked the birth of Philip Streczyk. He was a technical sergeant in the 1st. Infantry Division of the United States Army during World War II.
Streczyk was born to Polish parents Andrzej "Andrew" Streczyk (born 1876 in Austria-Hungary) and Marya (born 1886 in Austria-Hungary). Streczyk was a native of East Brunswick Township, New Jersey. He had nine siblings.
Streczyk quit school in eighth grade to help support his family, working as a truck driver until he was drafted into the U.S. Army in 1940 at the age of 21. Streczyk was able to speak Polish and German, and used this ability during D-Day.
-- Philip Streczyk and D-Day
Streczyk is famous for being one of the first men off the beach at Omaha Beach. He served in the 1st. Infantry Division under Lieutenant John M. Spalding.
Streczyk and his men helped make the D-Day breakthrough at Omaha Beach possible. His platoon landed on the Easy Red sector, and made it to the shingle embankment largely intact, unlike most of the first wave.
However instead of attacking up the beach exits, as was planned, Philip instead helped to find and clear a path up the mined bluffs, left of Exit E-1. Streczyk courageously exposed himself to intense enemy fire and utilized antitank grenades to silence two enemy guns, thereby enabling his unit to continue its advance.
Once at the top, he attacked the enemy fortifications from the rear, clearing out trenches and pillboxes along Exit E-1 and taking prisoners.
He was able to interrogate several of the Ost battalion POWs because he spoke fluent Polish, German, and English. Later on D-Day, he was involved in actions further inland.
For his actions on D-Day, Streczyk was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross and Great Britain's Military Medal. His company commander later called him:
"The greatest unsung
hero of World War II".
He saw action in five other major battles during World War II, including Tunisia, Sicily, and Hurtgen. He was awarded the Silver Star four times. His six theaters earned him six Bronze Stars.
One of Philip's children, Ron Streczyk later recounted:
"After D-Day, during the Normandy fighting,
one of Tech Sergeant Streczyk's men was
severely wounded in a firefight.
The stricken soldier's jaw was gone and he
begged for death. The sergeant obliged,
and put him out of his misery. Later he felt
guilty about it."
-- Philip Streczyk's Subsequent World War II Service
Streczyk continued to fight through Normandy, the Mons Pocket, Aachen, and finally the brutal Battle of Hürtgen Forest. In total, he logged 440 days of combat.
During the Battle of Hürtgen Forest, Streczyk reached a breaking point. He shook uncontrollably and babbled incoherently to the point where he had to be evacuated from the front lines with a suspected case of combat fatigue.
His case was so severe that he needed to be evacuated to the United States Army General Hospital, Camp Butner, in the United States. In an interview with a journalist during his convalescence, he called his unit:
"The best platoon
a man ever had".
He was subsequently discharged from the U.S. Army. His Distinguished Service Cross was pinned onto him by Dwight D. Eisenhower on the 2nd. July 1944. Field Marshal Montgomery also personally awarded him the British Military Medal about a week later.
-- Philip Streczyk's Post-War Life and Suicide
Streczyk became a builder in Florida. He married Sophie Karanewsky, and they had four children.
Philip had frequent nightmares, and was in persistent pain from the physical and emotional wounds he sustained during his time in combat. This ultimately led to his suicide at the age of 39 on the 25th. June 1958, a delayed casualty of the horror of D-Day.
Philip was laid to rest at the Church of Religious Science in East Brunswick, New Jersey. The church is no longer active. The cemetery is on private property and not easily accessible.
Philip's brother John and their father Andrew are also buried there.
-- The Traumatic Death of John Spalding
Philip's commander John Spalding also came to a traumatic end. On the evening of the 6th. November 1959, Spalding’s wife shot him with a brand-new .22 caliber rifle.
The bullet entered his left side below his ribs, tearing his aorta, and he bled to death on the bedroom floor of their modest one-story home. Spalding, a hero of history’s greatest invasion, was dead at the age of 44.
