Skyhook Recovery System
I was a 2/LT right out of Air Intelligence School and assigned to the 3 TFW at Bien Hoa Air Base, Republic of Viet Nam in 1968. Word came down that the Air Rescue Service was going to demonstrate the Fulton "Skyhook" Recovery System for all assigned flying personnel and that they would like to have a volunteer to be the "dummy" to be picked-up. This seemed like a great opportunity for me. As luck would have it, a TSgt on base also volunteered and lost the flip of the coin to see who would get picked-up. Two days before the demonstration was to take place, the TSgt was in the base hospital with a severe case of the flu, and my boss called and said "you're now the dummy". That's the first and only time that my boss called me a "dummy" and I was overjoyed!
The afternoon of the day before the demonstration, the Air Rescue C-130 arrived and I was asked to attend the briefing for the guy who was going to be "picked-up". I was informed that I would be just like a downed crewmember and would have to read the directions that would be dropped with the recovery kit. The next morning I was taken to the other side of the base where the whole wing was assembled to watch the show. The C-130 dropped the recovery kit with the Air Rescue coordinator briefing all-present as to what was taking place. When the kit hit the ground I was told to get over there and get with the program. After releasing the parachute from the kit. I got out the instructions and proceeded from there. The recovery "suit" I put on was designed for all geographical locations, including the North and South Poles. It became a contest to see if I could deploy the system and get recovered before I died of heat exhaustion. The real work is the deployment and filling-up of the balloon and the securing of the balloon to the recovery suit without it "getting away." It might be helpful at this point to mention that the deployment of a very large balloon 1500 feet into the air that does not look anything like any bird found on earth tends to alert the enemy that are looking for you of a possible location (like, here I am!!).
The actual "pick-up" is smooth and so quick that you don't have any time to analyze what is really going on. You next find yourself at 1500 feet in the air and going 150MPH and praying to God that the rope doesn't snap (this all happens in less than 3 seconds!) I took just 6 minutes to winch me into the back end to the C-130, but it seemed like a lot longer than that.

1. The Fulton Recovery package is delivered to the downed crewmember.
2. The crewmember must read the directions, assemble and inflate the balloon.
3. The crewmember dons the recovery suit, attaches it to the balloon and awaits pickup.
4. The moment of pickup, next stop 1500 feet above the ground at a speed of 150mph being pulled behind the C-130. All this in less than 3 seconds!
Allotted time for Skyhook procedure is 12 minutes.
The driver of the faulty 47559 Streetlite on the X5 had to contact the recovery van men to sort out the fault.
Here is the photo evidence.
Recovery is one of four Cory Riverside tugs that transport refuse from London boroughs along the Thames for disposal at sites in the lower reaches of the river. The refuse is compressed, loaded into containers and then carried aboard barges capable of carrying 26 containers.

Almost six years after the fact, this photo still brings a lump to my throat.
On the evening of July 5, 2005, unbeknownst to my wife and me, our sons David and Daniel were sitting on their second floor bedroom window sill watching the neighbors set off fireworks. One of them leaned against the window screen and they both went tumbling out, falling 15 feet to the concrete patio below. David, age 7 at the time, landed flat and was hospitalized for just three days. Daniel, 5, landed on his head and sustained a closed skull fracture and traumatic brain injury, was life-flighted, spent three days in a coma and three weeks in the hospital, and spent more than a year in physical and occupational therapy. He still struggles with minor impairments, including reduced dexterity in the fingers of his right hand, but overall made a remarkable recovery with the help of doctors at Mary Bridge Children's Hospital in Tacoma and Children's Hospital of Seattle. This photo captures his indomitable spirit about two and a half weeks after the accident.
Please, if you're reading this and have children in a house with second-floor windows, make sure they have child safety locks. Second-floor falls are a surprisingly common source of injury among kids. (IMG_0226)

Over a period of three years, beginning with SCAPE 7, a single street lamp from each of twenty-one cities around the globe is being gifted to Christchurch as a gesture of solidarity with the city during its recovery and rebuild process. These are installed along a section of Park Terrace, providing light for pedestrians and cyclists.
Solidarity Grid is commissioned by the Christchurch City Council and project managed by SCAPE Public Art.

At 8 hectares (20 acres), the octagonal Place de la Concorde is the largest square in Paris. It is situated between the Tuileries and the Champs-Elysées.
In 1763, a large statue of king Louis XV was erected at the site to celebrate the recovery of the king after a serious illness. The square surrounding the statue was created later, in 1772, by the architect Jacques-Ange Gabriel. It was known as the place Louis XV.
In 1792, during the French revolution, the statue was replaced by a another, large statue, called 'Liberté' (freedom) and the square was called Place de la Révolution. A guillotine was installed at the center of the square and in a time span of only a couple of years, 1119 people were beheaded here. Amongst them many famous people like King Louis XVI, Marie-Antionette, and revolutionary Robespierre, just to name a few. After the revolution the square was renamed several times until 1830, when it was given the current name 'Place de la Concorde'.
In the 19th century the 3200 years old obelisk from the temple of Ramses II at Thebes was installed at the center of the Place de la Concorde. It is a 23 meters (75 ft) tall monolith in pink granite and weighs approximately 230 tons. In 1831, it was offered by the Viceroy of Egypt to Louis Philippe. Three obelisks were offered by the Viceroy, but only one was transported to Paris. The obelisk is covered with hieroglyphs picturing the reign of pharaohs Ramses II & Ramses III. Pictures on the pedestal describe the transportation to Paris and its installation at the square in 1836.
At each corner of the octagonal square is a statue representing a French city: Bordeaux, Brest, Lille, Lyon, Marseille, Nantes, Rouen and Strasbourg. They were installed in 1836 by Jacob Ignaz Hittorf, who redesigned the Place de la Concorde between 1833 and 1846. That same year a bronze fountain, called 'La fontaine des Mers' was added to the square. A second one, the 'Elevation of the Maritime' fountain, was installed in 1839. Both fountains were designed by Hittorf.
From the Place de la Concorde you can see the Arc de Triomphe (west), the Madeleine (north), the Tuileries (east) and, across the Seine, the Palais Bourbon, now the Assemblée Nationale(south).
The G2 Building, which housed laboratories, hot cells, separations process testing equipment, and a tunnel system.
Holy Scrap neighbor Kyle was quickly recruited to test out this giant board. Kyle is roughly 6' 6" and I think this skateboard gives him a additional 6" of height which makes him look a giant 7' monster on the horizon floating towards you. Kyle has been long boarding for a long time, but he had the same struggle as I did which is turning it tough. A 2-way street is not not wide enough to make a full turn on although a 4 way intersection works. Good thing the remote has a backup button so I can at least do a three point turn until I figure something less ridiculous out.
October 26, 2017 - The Archdiocesean office of Addiction Recovery and Pastoral Support Services sponsored a full day seminar at the Pastoral Center Thursday to highlight the public health crisis and the addiction epidemic. Cardinal Seán O'Malley has asked Bishop Peter Uglietto to oversee an Opioid Task Force that will be led by Joe McEnness, Executive Director of Risk Management and Deacon Jim Greer, Director of Health Care Ministry. "It is our hope that the Task Force will help parishes in providing pastoral support for those struggling with opioids, very often for those who are close to a person whom is ensnared in dependence", Cardinal Seán said. Speakers included: Fr. Joe White, Kathryn Power, Regional Administrator Region 1 for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Karen Pressman, Assistant Executive Director for the Bureau of Substance Services, Jared Owens, Massachusetts Organization for Addiction Recovery, Mark Albanese, M.D., Cambridge Health Alliance, Quincy Mayor Thomas P. Koch, Boston Mayor Martin Walsh and Cardinal Seán P. O'Malley. Photos by George Martell - Archdiocese of Boston
Edited NASA image of two helicopters involved in the recovery of the Orion capsule (which was scrubbed and will be attempted again tomorrow morning), seen from the deck of the USS Anchorage.
Original caption: The US Navy and NASA recovery teams are on station off the cost of California and ready to recover Orion after landing. Orion is scheduled to make its first flight test on Dec. 4 with a morning launch atop the Delta IV Heavy. The spacecraft will orbit Earth twice, reaching an altitude of approximately 3,600 miles above Earth before landing in the Pacific Ocean. No one will be aboard Orion for this flight test, but the spacecraft is designed to allow us to journey to destinations never before visited by humans, including an asteroid and Mars.

*Famed Gospel Choir to Visit Chicago to Promote Cover of Eminem’s “Lose
Yourself”*
“Lose yourself”. It is a mantra that has reverberated among the
elite and the down trodden. Removing the barriers of imposed limitations is
the first step to rising above the muck and mire of life’s troubles. The
award winning Gospel choir Selected of God did just that.
Selected of God began as a group of local singers who wanted to
sing about the love of Christ. They participated in competitions, vying for
a spot in a local television commercial. Since then, the group has received
national notoriety, taking their story of redemption, hope, and recovery
across the globe.
Members of the group will be in Chicago *October
24-25th*promoting their new single “Lose Yourself”. Selected
of God has graced some of the biggest audiences and stages in America from
the 2011 Super Bowl to the Detroit Tigers v Yankees playoff game to a Monday
Night Football performance with soul legend Jimmy Scott. They’ve won an Emmy
for their role in the “Born of Fire: Imported from Detroit” commercial,
worked with some of the best musicians and Gospel performers in the world,
and have embarked on a musical journey that can only be orchestrated by God.
Recently named the Ambassadors of Detroit by Chrysler Motors,
they’ve blazed a trail for others to follow. Selected of God is made
up of teachers,
accountants, nurses, military personnel, hairdressers, even the unemployed,
and created a hodgepodge of people who truly represent the fabric work of
our great country. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
Established in 2002 by Pastor and Director Larry Callahan, the
choir had one mission: to share the love of Christ with the world. No other
local choir has made the strides they have in such a short amount of time;
from local to national recognition, Selected of God has sung along-side
gospel greats like Stellar Award winner Kurt Carr and countless others.
To schedule an interview with the critically acclaimed choir Selected of
God contact: Trea Davenport, Trea Day Management & Publicity at 678-327 8281

A scan of a "recovered negative" from Fuji FP-3000B shot with a Mamiya RB67 with a Fish Eye lens. 1/4 sec f/11.
This was a test shot, the positive came out a bit too dark so the subsequent film shot (delta 3200) was shot one stop slower. I was under the impression that the FB-3000 gave a full negative unlike 100B, but this appears to be solarized too, although I am suspicious that it is only because the lights were so bright relative to the rest of the scene. (sorry it got a little messed up in my bag on the walk home)
In the positive, all of the grass is nearly black.

The recovery of Supermarine Spitfire Mark 1A X4583, which crashed at Holme in Cambridgeshire, on 22nd November 1940.
Whilst on a training mission from nearby RAF Wittering, Pilot Officer Harold Penketh experienced problems and crashed into farmland, just south of Peterborough.
Recovery of the pilot’s body occurred at the time, but the crash site filled with water, and the wreckage then lay undisturbed for 75 years. After a geological survey, the site is now being excavated, with artefacts being recovered for preservation and display before the land is restored to wetlands as part of a conservation project.
Operations were suspended on 8th October 2015, when probable skeletal remains were uncovered, and it was therefore even more fitting when shortly afterwards Spitfire Mk.IA N3200 from Duxford performed a flypast in honour of the pilot.
No. 266 (Rhodesia) Squadron RAF, based at RAF Wittering. Moved from RAF Sutton Bridge after action over Dunkirk and in the Battle of Britain, before moving to RAF Duxford in 1942 and re-equipping with the Hawker Typhoon.
