7th April 1538 – Burial of Elizabeth Boleyn
Posted By Claire on April 7, 2012
The Howard Chapel before and after it became the museum coffee shop
On this day in history, Elizabeth Boleyn, Lady Wiltshire, wife of Thomas Boleyn and mother of Mary, Anne and George, was buried in the Howard Chapel of St Mary's Church, Lambeth.
She had died a few days earlier, on the 3rd April, at Baynard's Castle, home of the Abbot of Reading, an event which Thomas Warley reported to Lady Lisle in Calais on the 7th April 1538:-
"My lady of Wiltshire died on Wednesday last beside Baynard's castle."1
Elizabeth's funeral was also reported to Lady Lisle, this time by John Hussey on the 9th April:-
"My lady Wiltshire was buried at Lamehithe on the 7th… She was conveyed from a house beside Baynard's Castle by barge to Lambeth with torches burning and four baneys (banners?) set out of all quarters of the barge, which was covered with black and a white cross."2
Sir John Russell, Lord Comptroller, was the chief male mourner and Elizabeth's half-sister, Katherine Howard, Lady Daubenay, was the chief female mourner.
St Mary's Church, Lambeth, is now a garden museum and Elizabeth's tomb is not visible because it lies underneath the wooden floor of the museum cafe. Although some people have commented on how awful this is, the museum actually saved the church and so saved the Howard tombs.
Many people wonder if the fact that Elizabeth is not buried next to her husband at Hever is evidence of some kind of separation between them but as Linda Saether points out in her wonderful article about her search for Elizabeth's tomb, there are many Howard women buried at Lambeth and she wondered if "Howard women expected to be 'brought home' for burial in the Howard Chapel regardless of whom they married." We also know that Elizabeth died at Baynard's Castle in London so perhaps it made sense for her to be buried in London rather than to be taken back to Hever in Kent. I guess we'll never know!
You can read more about her resting place in Linda's article "Searching for the Grave of Elizabeth Boleyn, Countess of Wiltshire"
It is not known what Elizabeth Boleyn died of but she was reported as being "sore diseased with the cough which grieves her sore"3 in April 1536, and Anne Boleyn, when arrested and taken to the Tower in May 1536, had commented "O, my mother, [thou wilt die with] sorow"4. Perhaps Elizabeth had been fighting tuberculosis,5 we just don't know.

This paper examines the so-called post-Foucauldian genealogy of power undertaken by Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben. Agamben's basic interest is why and in which ways power assumed the form of economy, which, according to Foucault's genealogical research, means the "government of men". For Foucault, the origin of managerial-administrative power is the paradigm of a pastorate, in which the main objective is to subjugate, control and govern the soul of every human being. For Agamben the time horizon determined by Foucault is not sufficient. Therefore, he tries to develop further the theory of bio-power and bio-politics through the paradigm of economic theology, using a wide range of materials from early medieval period to 20th century theology. Using archeological and genealogical methods, this investigation aims to show the process of a paradigm shift from political theology to economic theology within the context of power relations. Moreover, it tries to verify whether Agamben's assumption is correct, or it is not credible. By analyzing certain concepts such as divine anarchy and co-lateral effect, I intend to pose the question whether Christian economy, as action and administration, is an archetype of modern form of power or not.


Just like any other teenager I had a curfew. Sometimes I made it in on time for the curfew and sometimes I did not. But no matter whether I arrived home before curfew, at curfew time or after curfew, I would always find the same scene when I walked through the front door. There in the living room watching television or sometimes reading his Bible would be my father. My first thought when I saw my father waiting up for me on the couch was that I was about to be in trouble whether I was early or whether I was past curfew. Guilt is the first thing that comes into a teenager's mind when he is confronted with a parent waiting up for him -- whether he has any reason to be guilty or not.
Quickly putting my guilty mind to rest my dad would fumble looking away from the TV or looking up from the Bible he was reading and said, "Oh, I didn't realize it was so late. I guess I just got too interested in what I was doing."
I knew better though because as soon as I went to bed the TV turned off and the living room light went out. Dad's footsteps could be heard going down the hallway to his and mother's bedroom. No matter how early or late I was my dad would always wait up for me.
It was not until years later when I became a father and my children became teenagers that I realized what my father was really thinking about when he sat on the couch waiting until I got home. A loving father can't go to sleep until all his children are back safe at home.
On February 11, 2014 at 3:30 AM that my father went to his heavenly home. I'm sure when he got there both Father God and His Son Jesus were anxiously awaiting the return of their child home safely. I will miss my father -- in fact I always miss him sorely. But I can comfort myself in the fact that he along with my Heavenly Abba Father, my Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ, my wife Cindy, my daughter Katie, my grandparents, and all those who preceded me in death will be waiting up and will be able to rest better once I'm home safely too.

Samsung fitness tracker reviews
Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 review: Fitness and finesse
Cam Bunton, Contributing editor · 26 August 2020 ·
The second-gen Galaxy Watch refines rather than reinvents the design of the original, delivering a more feature-packed wrist-worn wearable with additional finesse. It is pricier this time around though.
Attractive design and fully round screen
Smaller and lighter than original
Rotating bezel is brilliant
Great running tracking features
Battery life isn't great
Third-party music apps are slow and inconsistent
Not as many popular apps/services as Apple Watch/Wear OS
(Pocket-lint) - Wait, what, where's the Galaxy Watch 2? There isn't one, with Samsung's follow-up Apple Watch rival going straight to '3' for its second-generation device. The reason, we speculate, is that - after releasing the original Galaxy Watch in 2018 and no a direct follow-up the year after - the Watch Active 2 appeared in 2019, so to keep things neater it makes sense to try and avoid any number-based confusion.
Whatever the reason for the name, the Watch is now here and the important thing is how well it performs and whether or not it's worth your money. Read on to find out why the second-gen Galaxy Watch is a serious competitor for the 'best smartwatch' crown.
squirrel_widget_328497
Design: What's New?
Smaller, thinner, lighter than original
IP68 water and dustproof / MIL-STD-810G
Sizes: 41mm (£399/€429), 45mm (£419/€459)
Samsung has gone a little smaller for the Watch 3: it's available in 41mm and 45mm options (the original was 42mm and 46mm) thanks to a new, smaller bezel and increase in display size. It has two physical buttons on the right side, on either end of a long protrusion from the case, which ensures that you don't accidentally press the buttons when you bend your hand back.
Whichever size you choose you're going to get a watch that looks classy and stylish. But this watch is also tested to withstand harsh conditions such as being submerged in water - it's IP68 rated and capable of surviving in depths to 5 metres.
The leather strap it ships with isn't the most amazing in our opinion, but the black leather contrasting with a light stitching on the black model does have a classic look.
It's quite a flat strap though, so you're not getting that lovely-looking strap with the rounded bulge that appears in all the marketing images (a tad misleading there, Samsung). It's quite a stiff leather too - and we've found even after a couple of weeks wearing it everyday, it's still not quite soft and does creak a little under wrist movement.
Still, that aside, the Glaxy Watch 3 is one of the better looking smartwatches around. Plus the rotating bezel not only gives it that 'proper watch' look - what with its fine index printed around the inside - it also means you have an intuitive method of controlling the interface on the screen.
Display: It's All Round
Size: 1.2-inch (41mm model) / 1.4-inch (45mm model)
Resolution: 360 x 360 pixels
Rotating bezel control
Round display
Back when wearables first appeared as that hot new thing, there was the 'flat tyre' black band across the bottom of many displays. Not so with this Samsung - the Watch 3 has a fully round display, and very nice it is indeed.
There's not heaps of resolution, but that's typical for any wearable, so the watch faces and apps look suitably sharp. The smaller device gets the smaller screen, of course, meaning it's an even higher pixel density - but that won't matter when you're just glancing at notifications and fitness information briefly.
It's an AMOLED based panel which means it's nice and bright, with vivid colours and deep blacks. It also means that it's relatively easy to read even when outside in daylight. Saying that, it doesn't have that look of content floating on the surface like you'll get with the Apple Watch screen, as the display panel itself is visibly removed from the glass exterior.
That said, the Galaxy Watch 3's refresh rate is fast enough so that animations look relatively smooth, although not quite as fluid and sharp as you might get on a modern, fifth-generation Fossil Wear OS smartwatch. That's not all that important though, given that the times you're looking at it are generally just quick glances for information. Whether that be to tell the time, observe notifications or see your workout data.
Interface and controls
Supports message replies with Android phones
Notifications on the wrist
Samsung's interface is quite basic in its styling. In fact, not a huge amount seems to have changed since the first Galaxy Watch launched. The operating system is based on Samsung's own Tizen OS and anyone who's used any previous Galaxy Watch or Gear S device will be instantly familiar with it.
Swiping the screen from right to left - or rotating the bezel clockwise - takes you through the full-screen widgets. These can be chosen manually and ordered by personal preference. So if you want a daily fitness overview, or weather widget, or one for tracking how many cups of water you drink, you can have one.
Before we go into a couple of criticisms, it's worth making clear: the combination of using the touchscreen and rotating bezel makes it a really intuitive system for selecting and launching the basic elements of the interface. But the choice of buttons and controls confuses things a tiny bit.
The general apps list or carousel is accessed by pressing the bottom right button from the watch face, then you simply tap the screen once you've selected the app you want to launch. It sounds simple and that part of it is, but we've found some elements to be a little counter-intuitive.
Partly, we think it's down to the combination of touchscreen, a rotating crown and two physical buttons. And, sadly, neither of those single buttons is a 'select' button. The top one is a back button, which - depending on the app - seems to either take you back one step within the app or take you right back to the watch face. It's not always easy to tell which it's going to do (a bit like the back button in Android at times). The bottom button is the 'home' button or the 'apps' button, which always takes you back to the home watch face when you're in an app.
In our mind, it'd be much better having one button as a 'select' or 'start' button and the other as a back/home button. Of course, you can use the touchscreen to select, but it'd be nice to have the option to use a physical button to perform that action, just to avoid the constant switching between using the buttons and using the touchscreen. Because, confusingly, the top button is the 'start/pause' button once you've launched a workout function and want to track a running/cycling/walking session.
Music conundrum
The other thing is that often third-party music apps don't feel as integrated into the system as the default ones. Say you want to listen to music while you're running - when you go to launch a run, you can rotate to the music screen as part of the running session interface, except it doesn't talk to the third-party app you're using to listen to music.
In our case, using Tidal or Spotify on the watch itself, that was irksome. So we had to go to the app, launch the music, make sure we pressed the 'home' button and not the 'back' button to ensure we didn't stop the music playing, then go to the workout app, start the run and head off. That's a workaround, as the music then keeps running in the background.
However, when in the running activity app, rotating to the music screen within the workout app during a run, it didn't seem to know Tidal was playing in the background (unless the watch detecting the connected phone playing music in range, and then it'd go to try and control that app instead).
So if we wanted to control the app on the watch by skipping tracks or pausing the music, we then had to exit the exercise app, go back to Tidal/Spotify, pause and then go back through to the workout app. Which might be fine if the apps loaded quickly, but they don't.

Often during exercise the music would also just stop playing after a couple of songs, or - on one occasion - the Bluetooth connection with our headphones just stopped sending audio, even though the earphones were showing as connected.
On the whole, the entire music experience less than optimal.
1/11Pocket-lint
The other thing worth noting about the interface - while we're on the subject of running - is that if you launch into a run, it immediately starts to countdown before it's locked on to its GPS location, so if you want to make sure your GPS is locked on before you head off, the only way to do it is to tap the run settings icon at the bottom of the screen.
Away from third-party apps, however, the basic top layer interface is one of the simplest out there - in a good way. Rotating clockwise gets you to widgets, while rotating the bezel the opposite way gets you to your notifications, which are split by app and complete with a logo showing clearly which app that notification is from.
When you receive a message - even from a third-party app - you can read that in full and reply using voice dictation, emoji, doodle, handwriting recognition or typing on a tiny keyboard. In short: whatever your preference for wrist-based message construction, the Galaxy Watch has it. If you pair it with an iPhone, that's sadly not available, but we don't anticipate many iPhone users would opt for the Samsung Watch 3 given that it doesn't tie-in as easily with Apple's ecosystem.
As well as answering notifications and messages, you can use the watch as a handsfree speaker for phone calls. It'll automatically show an interface on the watch as soon as you receive a call, allowing you to answer or reject a call on the watch. It's convenient if you're not near your phone.
There's also Samsung Pay for mobile payments when you're in a pinch and need to pay for something using contactless technology and your phone or wallet aren't on you. It is worth noting - in the UK at least - that the setup process didn't want to allow letters to be input into the postal code field, and only accepts five numerical digits, so we replaced the letters with '0' and that worked for us (an Americanisation bug, ultimately). Once loaded though, it's easy to activate by long-pressing the 'back' button.
Daily fitness tracking
Steps, calories burned, exercise minutes, and stand targets
SpO2 and all-day heart-rate tracking (HR)
Automatic sleep tracking
Fall detection
It's become commonplace for smartwatches to offer the basics when it comes to fitness tracking. It is, after all, anecdotally the reason most people opt for a smart connected wrist watch over a traditional mechanical device. And to its credit, Samsung wearables have been offering reliable everyday tracking for some time. In that regard, the Galaxy Watch 3 gets all the basics right.
1/5Pocket-lint
You get all-day heart-rate monitoring and step-tracking, as well as the now-standard 'standing' metric which measures how many of your daily hours you stand. It's something the Apple Watch offers, except Samsung Health's goal for you is just 9 standing hours, rather than the more lofty 12-hour goal from its competitor. To clarify, that's not standing for 9 hours a day - it's standing for a minute, in 9 individual hour-long periods, sssentially making sure you're not sat down for more than an hour at a time.
If you are sat motionless for a chunk of time, you get a friendly reminder to get up and walk or do some stretching. It's actually quite a useful feature. Because, unlike some other smartwatches, you can choose to do a stretch or exercise depending on which you feel like doing, rather than just getting up for the sake of getting up. Whether that be torso rotations or other exercises.
Where the Galaxy Watch 3 performs well in terms of accuracy - at least in our testing - is in sleep tracking. It automatically detects when we go to bed, and the next day offers up a pretty comprehensive view of our sleep performance. It did this accurately every night that we tested it. On mornings when we woke up feeling groggy the score was low and the time it had us going to bed and waking up was accurate. It didn't seem to rely on any preset ideas of when our bedtime was, unlike some other watches.
It breaks down the usual cycles of sleep: light, deep, REM and - of course - awake. With the right balance of those and a long enough sleep time, you get a high overall score and - in our experience - those high sleep scores seem to accurately represent our feelings. You get a score out of 100 and on most nights - thanks to inconsistent sleeping, all down to too many evenings of Netflix bingeing - ours was around the 30-40 mark. On the odd occasion where we had a proper rest overnight, the score was much closer to 80-90.
Accomplished running watch
GPS, HR and VO2 Max measured
Advanced posture/style metrics added
In previous years, Samsung's approach to tracking running on its watches has been much the same as any other fitness-focused smartwatch. You get GPS and HR sensors for tracking your route and your heart rate, as well as motion sensors for detecting your steps, which is data then used to calculate your cadence (steps per minute) and stride length. With the Galaxy Watch 3, those sensors are being used to do much more in-depth calculations.
We've now got VO2Max as well, bringing its feature list up to the standards set by the likes of Apple, Garmin and Huawei. Then there's some even more fancy use of the motion sensor hardware, which measures more advanced running data.
Samsung's Watch 3 has a new selection of running charts within its health app which tell you about your running style and efficiency. This measures things like the contact time when your feet hit the surface, as well as your stiffness and how much you bounce up and down vertically. The theory being that if you become aware of parts of your style that make your running less efficient, like landing too heavy, or bouncing up and down too much, or having really stiff movement, you can work on it and develop and better style.
In our particular instance, it was a stiffness that seemed to be our biggest issue, as most of our other metrics were good. And that's something we were already aware of. Once you tune out of a run, you often forget to be aware of how you're moving your arms and legs, and so tense up. We found that our stiffness was mostly an issue based on going up hills, which are hard to avoid on the mountainous coast of north Wales.
On the whole, while the data is impressive and it tracked consistently, it's hard to know exactly how accurate it is. For the kind of data being measured, we feel a better approach would be having sensors on both of your shoes rather than one single device on one side of your body. Still, it offers some interesting data to look through after a run.
Battery: 247mAh (41mm model) / 340mAh (45mm model)
Wireless charging disc
Apart from the odd aforementioned niggles with the interface the Galaxy Watch 3 is a really solid performer. GPS tracking during our runs was consistent with tracking that we've done using other watches over the past 12-18 months. As were daily HR readings and data from workouts.
For the most part, the watch launches apps relatively quickly when you select one. The only troubled apps in our usage were third-party music apps like Spotify and Tidal which - away from the listening to music while running issues - were generally just slow to load and unreliable. To the point where, if you're excited about a watch that finally supports your music service of choice, you may want to adjust your expectations.
Then there's the overall battery performance. It's fine, not market-leading, but that's a compromise you come to expect from any modern OLED-screen-based smartwatch. In our testing we were never able to get the watch to last a full two days, because we were wanting to track our sleep patterns with it, which meant taking it off for an hour or two at a time and charging it while working.
For most people heading to a place of work we feel that you will probably just need to give up on the idea of tracking your sleep every night and just charging the watch at night instead. You might make it to the end of the work shift on the second day, but if our experience with it is typical, it won't get you much further than that.
It's worth noting that we did track exercise roughly five times a week, and so that does drain the battery quicker, but still, we've found it's probably reasonable to expect about 36 hours from a full charge when connected to a smartphone that gets multiple notifications in a day. Which is about the current standard, so is fine, so long as you know what to expect.
The Galaxy Watch 3 takes the original 2018 Samsung wearable and refines it, bringing a smaller and lighter smart device that looks much like a real watch in a well-designed package.
For the most part, it's a fantastic watch. If you want a wearable that'll give you nice interactions with your Android phone notifications, easy contactless payments, and in-depth fitness and running data all in a convenient package, it's hard to see a better alternative. On that side of things, Samsung has nailed it.
Our only real complaint about the watch is music performance and, to some degree, the multitude of controls being a little busy. Using it to try and listen to our Spotify/Tidal playlists while out running was a frustratingly inconsistent experience. Plus, the battery life isn't all that hot, and it's not the cheapest smartwatch around.
Those reservations aside though, the Galaxy Watch 3 is up there among the best smartwatches for Android users right now.
Skagen Falster 3
Wear OS has benefitted from better hardware in recent years, and one of the best performing Android watches is the minimalist Skagen. It's fluid in operation, convenient to use, and has all the features you could need in a smartwatch. It doesn't compare on fitness features, however.
Best Fitbit fitness tracker 2021: Which Fitbit is right for you?
Huawei's crop of watches are some of the most cost-effective fitness trackers out there. You don't get a full smartwatch experience, but they're great for every activity and workout tracking. Plus the battery lasts pretty much forever.

« These are questions that stump senior executives, who understand that the ability to innovate is the "secret sauce" of business success. Unfortunately, most of us know very little about what makes one person more creative than another. Perhaps for this reason, we stand in awe of visionary entrepreneurs like Apple's Steve Jobs, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, eBay's Pierre Omidyar, and P&G's A.G. Lafley. How do these people come up with groundbreaking new ideas? If it were possible to discover the inner workings of the masters' minds, what could the rest of us learn about how innovation really happens?
[…] We studied the habits of 25 innovative entrepreneurs and surveyed more than 3,000 executives and 500 individuals who had started innovative companies or invented new products. We were intrigued to learn that at most companies, top executives do not feel personally responsible for coming up with strategic innovations. Rather, they feel responsible for facilitating the innovation process. In stark contrast, senior executives of the most innovative companies—a mere 15% in our study—don't delegate creative work. They do it themselves.

Thanks, Jim. The moment after I wrote this word, I recognized it as a heavily-used teen term of not so long ago.
Thanks, Clay. Often, in the heated rush, of the creative process, I tend to forget that there are needful things such as capitalization.
a sleep of death would also work here, as would "The sleep of the dead." I suppose its all up to personal preference.
bitter...what? "Let us fall!" "fall lettuce!" "Let us eat!" Does not seem too fit the tone of the rest of the poem. I think you can come up with a better ending.
Yes, Jim, you`re quite spot on!I must admit I was grasping at sensibility when I wrote this little ditty. Perhaps I rely far too much on stream of consciousness. Perhaps, it was just that I was making``poor reference``to the oncoming bitter winds of Winter. As far as my clumsy play on words with ``fall lettuce``, I humbly admit that I wasn`t exactly spot on.
Aha! aha! I see it now! I don't know why it took me so long to recognize as to what I was subconsciously trying to express. The crows are saying,"Let us fall headlong and grasp that last piece of lettuce before the snow covers the ground!" Hence, the last line would seem to make some sense."Let us eat!
Once again, we have reached the doorway to Winter. And, yet, if you happen to be a Winter-hater, think of it this way. If it wasn't for the cold, we wouldn't appreciate the warmer weather.

Espedalen is a valley in the Sør-Fron and Gausdal municipalities of Innlandet county, Norway. The  long valley is a continuation of the Gausdalen valley, which itself is a side valley that branches off of the main Gudbrandsdal valley in Eastern Norway.

Historically, mining was important in Espedalen with copper mining dating to the 1600s. Nickel mining was introduced in the 1880s. At the north end of the lake Espedalsvatnet are the remains of smelting and mining settlements from that time.

Espedalen Chapel was built in 1974 to serve the local population. The wooden building was designed by the architect Bjarne Bystad Ellefsen. Peer Gynt Road (Peer Gyntveien) is a  long private tourist road that runs from Svingvoll in Gausdal to Ruten in Espedalen.

positive outlook. Feel free to stop by Room 13 to see what my "Knowledge Ninjas" are up to. You're likely to see happy kids working together with 3 or 4 digit numbers, interacting with chapter books, and creating written pieces with both variety and purpose.


It's fun to experiment with paints and baby hands and feet, although in my experience this technique works best with older children. Dress in old clothes for this project!
Most experts recommend acrylic or tempera paints, since they are nontoxic. Make sure they'll stand up to whatever use you intend them for.
A fun craft that makes a great gift for grandparents, favorite aunts and uncles, or good friends is the "handprint wreath." Gather all the children in your family, your day care, your preschool or playgroup and have each apply to a plain T-shirt or tote bag his or her handprint, each using a different color, in a wreath shape. Add a title with fabric paints or puff paints and you're done!
Another enjoyable activity is simply to lay out some butcher paper and tempura paints (or other water-based paints such as fingerpaints) and let babies and children walk across the paper.

Welcome to Staatsburgh State Historic Site's blog! Learn more about the Gilded Age home of Ruth and Ogden Mills!
Indomitable Irish Survivors of the Titanic
April's blog post commemorates the anniversary month of the loss of the Titanic, and also looks back at March, Irish Heritage month, with stories of plucky Irish women who survived the sinking.
The Titanic departing from Queenstown, Ireland
Staatsburgh's owners, Ruth and Ogden Mills, had tickets for the Titanic. It was their good fortune to have tickets for the ship's planned second trip, not the fatal first. Mr. and Mrs Mills intended to board the Titanic in New York after its arrival from Europe. But, in the most famous maritime disaster in history, the ship sank on its maiden voyage. Ruth Mills lost her cousin John Jacob Astor in the tragedy; he was the wealthiest man to perish on the Titanic.
The White Star Line, the company that owned the Titanic, catered to rich first class passengers like the Astors and the Millses. Yet it was in serving the great masses of third class passengers that shipping firms made their profits. The waves of immigrants flooding from the Old World to the New paid far less for their tickets than did the wealthy elite; but there were far more of them. The steamship lines hired salespeople to peddle tickets door to door to potential third class travelers; villagers going to their local shop for bread or milk would find steamship tickets for sale there as well.
With an eye to attracting third class passengers, the Titanic revolutionized third class accommodations. Before the Titanic, steerage passengers slept and ate in cramped dormitories below decks. The Titanic provided staterooms for third class passengers and a well-appointed dining room, complete with waiters and linen tablecloths.
One such third class passenger was Catherine McGowan. Months before sailing on the Titanic, she returned to her native Irish parish of Addergoole from her new home in the United States. To her old neighbors, Catherine was the living embodiment of the immigrant dream. Dressed in fine clothes, with enough spending money to buy a roundtrip ticket from the U.S. to Ireland just to come for a visit, she told her fellow villagers wonderful stories of the opportunities waiting for them in America. Inspired by Catherine McGowan, 13 impoverished Addergoole residents borrowed enough money to return with her on the Titanic.
A melancholy tradition in Ireland was to hold what was called an "American wake" for family members about to emigrate. The relatives all gathered to say farewell; unlike Catherine McGowan, few ever returned; their families expected that they would never see them again.
Surely the American wakes in Addergoole were as melancholy as any in Ireland as family members said goodbye to Catherine McGowan and the 13 pilgrims she had gathered. But that melancholy was soon to be dwarfed by unimaginable heartbreak. When the Titanic went down, 11 of the 14 were lost, including McGowan.
One survivor of the Addergoole 14 was Bridget Delia McDermott. As she prepared for her voyage on the Titanic, Delia's mother told her that to be a real American lady, she must arrive in the United States wearing a hat and gloves. So on the day before Delia left Ireland, her mother took her to town and bought her the first hat and the first pair of gloves that Delia had ever owned.
There's a family legend that says that Delia's shopping trip was interrupted by a stranger, an old man dressed in black, who tapped her on the shoulder. He told her she was going on a long journey and that there would be a disaster, but she would be saved.
The next day, Delia boarded the Titanic where she found that even third class boasted luxuries that were unknown to poor Irish girls: electric lights and flush toilets and a bed of her own that she didn't have to share with siblings. At dinner there were linen napkins and silverware, and above all, enough to eat. To Delia, it all seemed like a promise of the riches she would enjoy in the new world.
Titanic's Third Class Dining Room
And then, three days after leaving Ireland, the Titanic hit the famous iceberg.
The collision was much more noticeable in third class than far above in first class, where some passengers felt only a shudder. The ship halted, started up, and then stopped again. The third class passengers had no idea what was happening. There was no public address system to inform them that the ship was fatally injured. There had been no evacuation drills to familiarize them with the rabbit warren of passages leading to the lifeboats on the uppermost deck. The ship's third class stewards, in charge of their passengers' well-being, received no instructions.
Some of the Addergoole men, whose cabins were in the front of the ship, came aft to warn the women of danger – the men's cabins were already filling with water.
It was two and a half hours from the time the ship hit the iceberg until it sank. In the absence of word from the ship's officers, the third class passengers must have been oppressed by an ever-increasing realization of their peril, as the front of the ship sank lower and the Titanic began to list, first to the starboard side and then to the port.
Many passengers...and some stewards...took matters into their own hands. One brave steward shepherded a group of 30 women through the complicated geography from the lower decks to the lifeboats on the boat deck at the top of the ship; then went back down into the depths of the sinking ship and brought up 30 more. But by then it was too late for a third trip.
Lowering Titanic's Lifeboats
Passengers found their way through the maze of corridors as best they could. Many of the gates that divided the classes from one another remained locked. Unable to get past the gates, some men found a steam winch on a third class deck, jumped aboard, and made a perilous climb, inching their way up the winch's long arm all the way to the boat deck.
Irishman Dan Buckley testified before a Senate committee that he was following another third class passenger up a flight of stairs towards the first class deck when a crew member forcibly stopped the trespasser, threw the man back down the stairs, and locked the gate at the top of the stairs. The enraged man ran back up the stairs, charged the gate and broke the lock. Buckley and other passengers then followed their hero to the boat deck.
Three young Irish women, all named Katherine (Gilnagh, Mullin and Murphy), found themselves blocked at a locked and guarded gate. Irishman Jim Farrell shouted at the crewman, "Good God, man! Open the gate and let the girls through!" To their surprise, the cowed crewman did just that.
One of the three girls, 17-year-old Kate Gilnagh, got separated from her friends and found herself on the deserted second class promenade deck. The boat deck with the lifeboats was just above her, but she couldn't find a way up. Finally she discovered one other person on the promenade deck, a man leaning against the rail, staring out into the night, calmly awaiting his fate. The man boosted Kate onto his shoulders; from there, she climbed up to the boat deck.
But Kate's life was not yet saved. She arrived at the boat deck just as the crew started to lower Lifeboat No. 16. A crewman told her the boat was full and wouldn't let her get in. "But I want to go with my sister!" she cried. The resourceful Katherine Gilnagh had no sister. The crewman relented and allowed Kate into the lifeboat.
And what of Addergoole's Delia McDermott, the Irish girl whose mother sent her off to the New World with her very first hat and very first pair of gloves? Delia found her way through the maze of unmarked passageways from 3d class up top to the boat deck, only to find that most of the lifeboats were already gone and the deck was awash with people, chaos, confusion, and barely suppressed panic.
Delia must have been a very determined young woman, because she somehow forged her way through the crowd to the side of a lifeboat...and got a seat in the lifeboat…and her life was to be saved…until she suddenly realized that she had forgotten her hat, the very hat her mother had bought her so she could be a real American lady.
Delia McDermott got out of the lifeboat, somehow found her way back down the labyrinth of corridors in the sinking ship to her stateroom, retrieved her hat, and once more navigated her way back up to the boat deck…only to find that she was too late! The very last lifeboat had just been launched. It bears repeating that Delia must have been a very determined young woman, for she then climbed down the side of the sinking ship on a rope and jumped 15 feet into the lifeboat…wearing her hat, like a real American lady. And we know that story because Delia survived, came to America wearing her hat and gloves, and her American granddaughter tells the story to this day.
Wearing hat and gloves
For one last example of the indomitable Irish spirit, consider the story of an Irishwoman who was among the survivors aboard the Carpathia, the rescue ship that picked up Titanic's lifeboats in the early morning hours after the sinking. When the Carpathia docked in New York, immigration officials boarded to process the immigrants. Asked if she had her emigration card from Ireland, the young colleen gave a sharp retort: "Divil (Devil) a bit of card have I, I'm lucky to have me own life!"

Q&A with Peter Leeson
By Lindsay Bernhards, BA '18 on August 6, 2018
In his second book, WTF?!: An Economic Tour of the Weird (Stanford University Press, 2017), Duncan Black Professor of Economics and Law Peter T. Leeson, PhD Economics '05, shares the economic reasoning behind some of the world's strangest practices and superstitions. It turns out that these rules were actually not so much strange as they were meticulously planned responses to pressing social problems. From Italy's criminal prosecution of cockroaches and crickets to accused criminals in Liberia choosing to drink poison to determine their fates, Leeson's new book studies the rational thought behind irrational practices.
Peter Leeson
What can readers expect to learn from your book?
How humanity's seemingly stupidest rituals, past and present—from deciding the fate of accused criminals with trials by poison ingestion to selling wives at public auctions to consulting poisoned chickens to decide how to behave toward your neighbors—are in fact ingenious solutions to pressing social problems, developed by clever people and tailor-made for their time and place.
What started your interest in using economics to explain bizarre practices in human history?
Two things. First, curiosity: When I encounter behavior that doesn't seem to make any sense, I wonder, "Why?" Second, realization: The key to uncovering "why" is to think in terms of incentives, rules, and constraints—in other words, to think about the crazy stuff that people do [in the way that] an economist would think about anything else.
What made you want to write this book?
Mostly, I thought I'd have a ton of fun writing—and illustrating!—it, and that people would have a ton of fun reading it. The book takes the reader on a literal tour of a museum of "social oddities," guided by yours truly. Joining readers as they make their way through the museum are a host of eccentric tour-goers, whose lively interactions with me and each other propel the narrative. Regardless of what you think about economics, the tour is guaranteed to make you laugh, expose you to a slice of mankind that you won't believe, and say, "WTF?!"
Do you have any advice for economics students interested in this subject?
Yes. Ignore people who'll advise you "not to waste your time with such frivolity; there's important work to be done!" These people are boring—and poor barometers of what's actually important. Also, come see me.
Do you have any plans for a sequel?
I do! If WTF?! does as well as I'd like, I intend to "continue the tour," and I'm already preparing the museum.

National Hurricane Preparedness Week runs from May 3 - 9. As Floridians, we all know that preparing for hurricane season ahead of time is critical, perhaps more now than ever before.
After an active Atlantic hurricane season in 2019, experts are predicting the 2020 season to result in above normal activity with 14-18 named storms, 9 hurricanes and 4 major hurricanes. This is higher than the average hurricane season, which has 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes and 3 major hurricanes. The Tropical Meteorology Project team at Colorado State University (CSU) predicts a 68% chance of a hurricane landfall in Florida this hurricane season. This is a 17% increase from the average of 51% chance of landfall for the Sunshine State. But as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warns, "It only takes one storm to change your life and community."
People's Trust is committed to helping policyholders and all Floridians prepare. Download the 2020 Florida Hurricane Preparedness Guide today!

This feature is only supported in our themes Focal, Trademark, Prestige and Warehouse. Kagami does not currently support this.
On Focal, Trademark and Prestige themes, you will need to buy the theme before you can upload color swatches (it requires access to the theme files). On Warehouse, you can upload your custom color swatches even in trial mode.
Some of our themes provide a color swatch feature on product page and/or collection page. Color swatch replace the traditional dropdown for variant options of type color. However, if you are using some color names that are non standard (like "zebra black", or "denim blue" for instance), you will realize the color swatch appears white.
This is because the theme can't guess which color to display. To make it work, you will need to create your small image and upload them. You will find below detailed instructions about how to do it. Please choose below the theme you are using in order to see the appropriate instructions.
For Prestige, the instructions are different based on the version. To know more about which version of the theme you are using, please click here to see the instructions.
In the "option values", indicate all the product's colors. For the sake of this example, let's say that we have one variant color called "Black Metal" (rock on baby!). Make sure to write the name of your color variants, we will need them later.
The second step is to create your images in your favourite image editor (like Photoshop, Gimp, Pixelmator...). Because color swatch are small, you should create small images. An image of 64x64 pixels is usually enough to ensure a good quality. The image MUST be in PNG format.
Save your image. But PAY ATTENTION TO THE NAME of the image, this is very important. It must be the handleized version of the color's name you have used in your product.
Replace any space by a dash.
For instance, the handle for our option "Black Metal" would be "black-metal" (spaces to dash, and everything to lowercase). Special characters must be removed. For instance, if your color is "Black / Metal", the handle for our option is still "black-metal" (and not black-/-metal)!
Because those images must be in PNG format, the final image must be named, in this example, "black-metal.png" (make sure that .png extension is in lowercase as well). Simple isn't it?
Now, we must "link" the image we have created to the color by uploading the images you have created to the theme.
First, in your Shopify admin, open the "Themes" section. (if you are already logged to your admin, you can click here).
Repeat the process for all your colors.
Warehouse as well as Prestige (starting from version 4), are using a new way using the "Files" folder instead of the "Assets" folder.
Make sure that the file name (in the "File" column - the first one -) is exactly the same as your original file name. For instance, if you upload an image called "black.png", it must be "black.png". If Shopify has renamed the file (like "black-2.png" or something else), this means that a file already existed with the same name. In this case you will need to first remove the original file from the Files, and re-upload again your file.

Home/Business/Texas Providers See Increased Interest in Birth Control Since Near-Total Abortion Ban
Texas Providers See Increased Interest in Birth Control Since Near-Total Abortion Ban
In September, when Texas' near-total abortion ban took effect, Planned Parenthood clinics in the Lone Star State started offering every patient who walked in information on Senate Bill 8, as well as emergency contraception, condoms and two pregnancy tests. The plan is to distribute 22,000 "empowerment kits" this year.
"We felt it was very important for patients to have as many tools on hand to help them meet this really onerous law," said Elizabeth Cardwell, lead clinician at Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, which has 24 clinics across the northern and central regions of the state and provides care to tens of thousands of people annually.
[time-brightcove not-tgx="true"]
Most of their patients—who tend to be uninsured and have annual household incomes under $25,000—had not known about S.B. Cardwell stated that it took 8 weeks for the program to fully take effect. She said that patients rushed to take birth control once they found out about the program.
S.B. 8 allows private citizens, in Texas or elsewhere, to sue anyone who performs an abortion in the state or who "aided or abetted" someone getting an abortion once fetal cardiac activity is detected. This is generally around six weeks, before most people know they're pregnant. It's had a chilling effect in Texas, where access to abortion was already limited.
Doctors and nurses are increasing their efforts to educate patients on birth control. They recognize the strategy isn't foolproof but are desperate to prevent unintended pregnancies, nearly half of which nationwide end in abortion.
"It's more important now than it ever has been," said Cardwell. "I've been in abortion care 30-plus years, and my go-to line was, 'You've got plenty of time. You don't have to feel rushed. Talk to your partner. Talk with your family,'" she said. "Now we don't have that luxury."
Patients too feel a sense if urgency. During September, according to data from Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, medical staff provided patients with some form of birth control—for example, pill packs, Depo-Provera shots or IUD implant insertions—in more than 3,750 visits. This was a 5 percent increase on September 2020.
Jennifer Liedtke (a West Texas family physician) said that she and her nurses explain S.B. Every patient who visits their private office is given 8 They saw an increase of 20% in the number of patients who sought long-acting, reversible contraceptive options, also known as LARCs (intrauterine devices, IUDs and hormonal implants) during September. They are effective in preventing pregnancy, and can last for many years. LARCs are becoming more popular. They're also simpler than the pill, which needs to be taken daily, and the vaginal ring, which needs to be changed monthly. Still, LARCs aren't everyone's preferred method of birth control. It can also be very painful to insert an IUD.
A doctor's office is one of the few opportunities for reliable birth control education. Texas law doesn't require schools to teach sex education, and if they do, educators must stress abstinence as the preferred birth control method. When naming the birth control options, some doctors may opt to discuss abortion access in Texas.
Liedtke has become accustomed to explaining new Texas laws. "It happens all the time," she said. The controversy around SB 8 is confusing patients more than it helps. It moves through court systems with different rulings. One of these was temporarily blocked. On November 1, the U.S. Supreme Court heard similar arguments. "People just don't understand," said Liedtke. "It was tied up for 48 hours, so they are like, 'It's not a law anymore?' Well, no, technically it is."
Some providers may not be able to freely discuss abortion access. Trump Administration in 2019 prohibited providers participating in Title X federally funded family planning program from mentioning the possibility of abortion to patients. This even if the patients raised questions. The Biden Administration reversed this rule in October. It will take effect this month. Planned Parenthood can discuss S.B. 8. Texas Affiliates are not eligible for Title X dollars.
Legacy Community Health's Dr. Lindsey Vasquez, a federally-qualified health center that is the biggest in Texas, has stated that she and her staff have never discussed S.B. 8 as they must also manage multiple priorities. Legacy's patients are underserved, she said. The majority of them live below the federal poverty line.
Nearly two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, "we're literally maximizing those visits," Vasquez said. There is more to their jobs than providing reproductive care. "We're making sure they have food resources, that they have their housing stable," she said. "We really are trying to make sure that all of their needs are met because we know for these types of populations—patients that we serve—this may be our only moment that we get to meet them."
According to Every Body Texas (the state grantee), specialist family planning clinics receiving Title X dollars have initiated conversations about contraceptive methods.
Discussions about long-acting reversible contraception must be handled with sensitivity because these forms of birth control have a questionable history among certain populations—primarily lower-income patients. Texas and several other states introduced bills that offered cash assistance to people who were eligible for benefits.
"It's important for a client to get on the contraceptive method of their choice," said Mimi Garcia, communications director for Every Body Texas. "Some people will just say, 'Let's get everyone on IUDs' or 'Let's get everybody on hormonal implants' because those are the most effective methods. … That's not something that's going to work for [every]Individual. … Either they don't agree with it philosophically or they don't like how it makes their body feel."
It's a nuanced subject for providers to broach, so some suggest starting the conversation by asking the patient about their future.
"The best question to ask is, 'When do you want to have another baby?'" said Liedtke. "And then if they say, 'Oh, gosh, I'm not even sure I want to have more kids' or 'Five or six years from now,' then we start talking LARCs. … But if it's like, 'Man, I really want to start trying in a year,' then I don't talk to them about putting one of those in."
Biden's Administration anticipated more Texas birth control demand, and Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra declared in September that Every Body Texas would get additional Title X funding. Additionally, providers in the area who are experiencing increased clientele as a consequence of S.B. would also receive Title X funding. 8.
But providers said improved access to contraception will not blunt the law's effects. Patients who are trying to get pregnant, but decide against abortion, will not be protected by the law, according to Dr. Elissa Serasio, an OB/GYN from Rio Grande Valley, and a Fellow with Physicians for Reproductive Health.
"It's the very best that we can do," said Cardwell, of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas. "There's no 100% effective method of birth control."

You think malls only make us greedy or take the business away from the small enterprises, really mark up the articles and even worse, accustom people to bad values like eating fat pop corn with Coke while watching a movie or buying expensive brands, because they are advertised to be cool.
Most probably you are right.
1. It has air-conditioning! If it is 40 degree outside, no shadow and no places to rest, the mall is undoubtedly your saver.
2. It has a bathroom that you can use without paying for it and it is in better condition than those outside if there are any at all. Sometimes I get really tired to ask restaurants for using their bathroom and sometimes, believe it or not, I have no cash for using the public ones.
3. There are always wi-fi spots in the mall. Sometimes it is free, sometimes you have to pay for the service, whatever the case, it is a blessing, because, remember, no Starbucks around.
4. The supermarket downstairs. Some cold water, cheap can of a beer and the cheapest way to have some lunch, buying a tomato with a slice of cheese, for instance.
5. A quick dose of a back-to-civilization feeling. Ok, you are a super-keen tribe explorer and can survive in any harsh conditions, without missing any western stereotype. Respect. Just give me 5 more minutes to have an escalator ride once again up to the 4th floor and I will go straight back to the 12th century, where my home is waiting me beyond several sand dunes. Or back to the whatever nature element I am taming now.

Ex-news executive dead at 91
By Mike Clary Staff Writer
Fred P. Pettijohn decided to become a journalist in the eighth grade after a stint as a reporter for a mimeographed classroom publication called Ye Weekly Snooze.
The decision served him, and South Florida, well.
In a newspaper career that began in 1935 and spanned six decades, Mr. Pettijohn led the Fort Lauderdale News and Sun Sentinel as vice president and editorial director while earning a reputation as an exacting editor, a good-humored boss and a dedicated community leader.
Mr. Pettijohn died Wednesday at his home in Tallahassee. He was 91.
"He considered journalism an act of community service every day," said Phil Pettijohn, his son. "He saw himself in the role of community umpire, and I think everybody would say he called a good, fair game."
Mr. Pettijohn and his wife, Elaine, lived in Fort Lauderdale for 50 years, raising two boys while playing a major role in the development of the area's civic and cultural establishment.
The couple moved to Tallahassee in 2003 to be near their sons, Phil and Mark.
Elaine Pettijohn died in April at age 87.
"He was a man I could turn to for advice, opinions, knowledge of the area, the kind of guy who was there if I needed anything," former Sun Sentinel editor Gene Cryer said. "He was always gracious, low key, a delight to be around."
Born in Baltimore, Mr. Pettijohn was raised in Tallahassee.
His first paying newspaper job was as assistant sports editor for the Tallahassee Democrat. He made $6 a week.
He continued to write for the paper while attending the University of Florida.
After graduating in 1941, Mr. Pettijohn joined the Army and served with an airborne artillery division in Burma, China and India during World War II.
Mr. Pettijohn said he felt a calling to become a journalist soon after he began to write as a student.
"After a year, I thought this is really what I want to do," he recalled in a 1999 interview for the University of Florida's Samuel Proctor Oral History Program.
"I talked to my father about it and he said, 'Well, I am sure it is interesting, but I can tell you now, you will never make any money in the newspaper business.' "
Mr. Pettijohn's South Florida newspaper career began in 1953 when he was hired as sports editor at the Fort Lauderdale News. He became managing editor the following year.
After the Tribune Co. bought the Fort Lauderdale News and Sun Sentinel in 1963, Mr. Pettijohn held several executive positions and retired in 1982 as editorial director of both dailies.
In a citation accompanying his 1990 induction to the Florida Newspaper Hall of Fame, Mr. Pettijohn was described as "a tough editor with an unerring instinct for quality, and an expectation of commitment and dedication from his reporters and editors."
His distinguished legacy of South Florida newspapering includes the Sun Sentinel's annual awards for editorial excellence, which bear his name.
His civic activities included service on the boards of many state and local organizations, including the Florida Council of 100, the University of Florida Foundation, Holy Cross Hospital and the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber of Commerce.
He was a former commodore of the Lauderdale Yacht Club and founding president of the Tower Club.
Retired Fort Lauderdale businessman Emmett McTigue described Mr. Pettijohn, a close friend, as "one of the finest journalists I ever knew and a great human being."
At their frequent lunches over the years, McTigue said, "Fred didn't talk a lot, but what he said made sense. He was a highly ethical person and was very bright."
In addition to his two sons, Mr. Pettijohn leaves two grandchildren, also of Tallahassee.
He will be buried with his wife in Fort Lauderdale. Services are pending.

The Costs of the Canadian Government's Reconciliation Framework for First Nations finds that settling ongoing litigation with First Nations could cost the federal government $5.7 billion over the next five years. That's in addition to federal spending on First Nations, which itself increased from $8.2 billion in 2015/16 to more than $10 billion this year.
Specific Claims and the Well-Being of First Nations finds that the federal government has paid nearly $6 billion over the past four decades to hundreds of First Nations in Canada to settle "specific claims" linked to historical treaties, but there has been no corresponding increase in living standards among those recipient First Nations.
The chiefs want the government to shelve two bills currently under Senate review—Bill C-69 and Bill C-48.

Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs unveils new website to provide updates on PFAS mitigation efforts
Wisconsin National Guard Public Affairs Office
MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin Department of Military Affairs launched a new website today devoted to informing the public about per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) mitigation efforts at its facilities.
The new website provides timelines and updates on the current status of PFAS mitigation efforts at several Wisconsin National Guard facilities.
The Wisconsin National Guard continues to work closely with partners at the local, state, and federal levels to address PFAS concerns at installations where the military historically used Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF). AFFF is the most efficient means of extinguishing petroleum fires, and is widely used across the firefighting industry, to include all commercial airports and petroleum production and storage facilities to protect people and property, and it is mandated for use by the Federal Aviation Administration. The Wisconsin National Guard adheres to this FAA standard and has always followed required testing procedures.
The military used AFFF, which contained perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) and perfluorooctanic acid (PFOA), forms of PFAS, from 1970-2015. In 2016, the Environmental Protection Agency established a lifetime health advisory level for PFOA and PFOS in drinking water, and it is now classified as an emerging contaminant.
The Department of Defense and U.S. Air Force modified their training procedures in 2015 to reduce contamination risks and switched to Phos-Chek 3% AFFF, an environmentally responsible formula. The new products are considered less toxic, are not considered bio accumulative and are PFOS-free and contain only trace amounts of PFOA.
The entire Air Force implemented this switch in 2016, and there are now no buildings in the Wisconsin National Guard that use legacy AFFF. But even this more environmentally responsible formula is only discharged by the trucks in the event of a real fire.
To ensure no AFFF is discharged during required testing procedures, all Wisconsin National Guard facilities now use a closed system – known as an Ecological Test Cart – that is fully contained and keeps any foam from hitting the ground, and in addition, bases conduct their testing on a site that allows for complete collection in the event of an inadvertent AFFF discharge.
At Truax Field, for example, the 115th Fighter Wing's fire department provides all of the emergency fire services for Dane County Regional Airport and is bound by federal regulations.
The fire department uses the Ecological Test Cart distributed by the Air Force Civil Engineering Center, to adhere to its regulatory requirement to test its firefighting systems. The 115th received instructions from the U.S. Air Force on retrofitting its firefighting vehicles in September 2017 and completed their retrofit later that month, becoming one of the first 8 fire departments out of 63 across the Air National Guard to complete the retro-fit and begin using the new testing procedure. The new system bypasses the tank containing AFFF and, instead, flows water through the extinguishing system and the cart, gathering data readings and discharging water from the vehicle's turret instead of foam.
The Wisconsin National Guard has and will continue to follow all federal laws related to PFAS, and is federally mandated to follow the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) process to address PFAS concerns at its facilities.
CERCLA is an established multi-step federal process. Truax Field and Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center in Camp Douglas, Wisconsin received authorization and funding from National Guard Bureau to begin step three of the CERCLA process – "Remedial Investigation" this fall. This step involves an evaluation of the nature and extent of contamination at a site, and evaluates potential threats to human health and the environment. The results of the risk assessment determine what, if anything, needs to be cleaned up. If the risk assessment identifies an unacceptable risk to human health, safety, or the environment, a Feasibility Study is conducted. The exact timeline for when the remedial investigation will begin is yet to be determined.
The National Guard Bureau also simultaneously announced this fall that both Truax Field and Volk Field received funding and authorization for an Off Base Drinking Water Study to assess drinking water sources within the vicinity of each installation. As part of that process, contractors working on behalf of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will survey and conduct public testing at public drinking water sources in the vicinity of the installation. That effort, in partnership with other named responsible parties – including the City of Madison and Dane County Regional Airport, would immediately result in the federal government addressing the issue at any residence with drinking water that exceeded PFAS readings of 70 parts per trillion or more.
More information about the CERCLA process is available here: https://www.epa.gov/superfund/superfund-cleanup-process.
The CERCLA process is driven by federal law and associated funding is prioritized based on site investigations nationwide. The Wisconsin National Guard will continue to adhere to the CERCLA process and will remain actively engaged with each step and with partners at the local and state level to keep the process moving forward.
The Wisconsin National Guard previously completed steps one and two of the CERCLA process, including the initial site investigation and preliminary assessment.
The new website is available at: https://dma.wi.gov/DMA/pfas
