The Dams Raid (Operation Chastise) and after
William Radcliffe
Joe McCarthy and his wartime friends
February 19, 2019 February 19, 2019 charlesfoster8 Comments
Joe McCarthy's son, Joe McCarthy Jr, has kindly sent me some more information about the well-known picture of members of his father's crew fraternising with the crew of an American B-26, taken at the Earls Colne airfield in Essex in 1944. I have previously reproduced a similar picture in the Dambuster of the Day article on Ron Batson.
Joe's picture is a better shot obviously taken at the same time, as it doesn't cover Johnny Johnson's face. He also sent me a clipping from a newspaper given to him by Dorothy Bailey (daughter of Bill Radcliffe, the flight engineer in the McCarthy crew) which reproduces the same picture and helpfully includes a caption listing all the personnel:
Two more interesting points from Joe. The return flight from Earls Colne to Woodhall Spa was probably the last time that Johnny Johnson flew with the crew, as he left the squadron shortly after. McCarthy's new bomb aimer was 'Danny' Daniels who went on to fly with 'Willie' Tait, including on the Tirpitz raid.
Next to McCarthy is the American pilot Major John Bull Stirling, another US citizen who joined the RCAF before the USA entered the war. In fact Stirling had been in the same RCAF training class in Ontario as McCarthy but he chose to transfer into the US Army Air Corps after Pearl Harbor. According to this entry on the American Air Museum in Britain website, he had an eventful time during the war and died in 1988.

Johnny meets mascot for the first time in 70 years

George "Johnny" Johnson came face to face again with the crew mascot who flew with him on the Dams Raid recently at East Kirkby. The small toy panda is now owned by Dorothy Bailey, the daughter of Johnny's crew mate, Bill Radcliffe, and recently featured on an episode of the BBC Antiques Roadshow.
Radcliffe was the flight engineer and Johnson the bomb aimer in the Lancaster skippered by Joe McCarthy, one of the two Dams Raid aircraft to attack the Sorpe Dam in the early hours of 17 May 1943. Radcliffe would tuck the mascot inside his flying boot before every operation, and both it and he survived the war. Unfortunately in 1952 he was killed in a car crash, back in his native Canada so his widow and young children returned to England.
Dorothy and Johnny had never met before, so this was an opportunity for her to ask him about the father she scarcely knew and, of course, for Johnny to see again the little toy whose lucky life may have helped him survive the war.

Bill Radcliffe's Dams Raid Panda
September 20, 2015 charlesfoster1 Comment
Chuck-Chuck, the toy panda bear mascot who flew on the Dams Raid in May 1943.
For full details of all the men who flew on the Dams Raid see our companion Complete Dambusters site.
On 16 May 1943, a young Canadian called Bill Radcliffe was the flight engineer in the aircraft flown by Flt Lt Joe McCarthy when it took off on the Dams Raid. The crew successfully dropped their bomb on the Sorpe Dam, but the dam was not breached. Two months earlier, in March 1943, the same crew had completed a full tour of 30 bombing operations with 97 Squadron but then volunteered for posting to the new 617 Squadron for "just one more trip".
On all its operations in both squadrons the McCarthy crew always carried their lucky mascot, a small stuffed Panda Bear, named Chuck-Chuck, and tucked inside Bill Radcliffe's boot. The crew also made sure that a painting of the same mascot was used to decorate any Lacaster bomber which they flew regularly.
William Gordon Radcliffe was born in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada on 24 September 1919. His family were recent emigrants to Canada. In March 1939, suspecting that war was on its way, he travelled to England with his friend Howard Godfrey, and volunteered to join the RAF as a ground crew mechanic.
In 1942 the RAF decided to institute the new position of flight engineer in its heavy bomber squadrons. Many ground crew saw this as their chance to fly, and amongst these was the young Canadian. Radcliffe was sent to the No 4 School of Technical Training at St Athans in Wales, and qualified as a flight engineer in July 1942. He was posted to 97 Squadron and flew on his first operation on 10 September 1942. A few days later, he had teamed up with Joe McCarthy and together with gunner Ron Batson and wireless operator Len Eaton became the nucleus of a crew which would stay together for almost two years.
Their first operation as a crew was on 5 October on a trip to Aachen. Most crews were given what was thought to be a relatively easy assignment on their first operation. The McCarthy crew's first outing most certainly was not. In a letter home, Radcliffe wrote:
You usually get a nice easy trip for the first time and we were told this one was going to be fairly easy. But it didn't turn out that way. … [W]hen we got up to 10,000 feet we ran into an electrical storm. It sure was pretty at first seeing sparks and flashes all over the windscreen and flashes all over the wings and fuselage and the tips of the props were glowing. But then it started to ice up and then the trouble started. We climbed right up to 15 or 16 thousand and we were still in it. We'd pass through a cloud with a negative charge and then hit one with a positive and the result was a big blinding flash that scared the daylight out of me. We weren't much troubled by Jerry and we made the target O.K. and just managed to bomb through a gap in the clouds but couldn't see the results.
Coming back it got worse and we ran into a lot more ice. We must have dropped over 14,000 feet in less than nothing and the rapid change in temperature or the ice cracked the perspex windows on each side of the cabin and blew a two foot hole out of each side. Believe me then I was scared. I thought for sure we had been hit, my log and the navigator's log, pencil and instruments etc just vanished outside. As soon as I realised what happened, I looked out and saw that we were skimming the tree tops of France. You could see the roads and houses plainly and we passed over a large town that didn't seem to be blacked out at all.
We got everything under control again and made some height to cross the coast. When we got back to the aerodrome we couldn't get any answer from our radio and after half an hour of circling we had to land by signals. When we got down we found the aerial inside the kite instead of outside. It must have broken off in the storm and come through the window. Believe me I was relieved to find some of the other crews were scared as much as we were. Mac is a wizard at handling the machine. If it hadn't of been for him … I think if I had to go through these storm on every trip I'd be grey before I'm 24.
[Dave Birrell, Big Joe McCarthy, p.55]
Fortunately not every operation was as eventful as this, and Radcliffe went on to complete his full tour with McCarthy by March 1943. The whole crew was then transferred to the new 617 Squadron for "just one more trip".
After six weeks' training came the raid itself. McCarthy and his crew were more than half an hour late leaving the ground because they had to switch to the reserve aircraft after a fault developed in their own. Radcliffe's skills as a flight engineer were put to the test as they pulled out all the stops to make up time, something McCarthy would later acknowledge, and they were only nine minutes late reaching the Sorpe Dam. On their return journey, Radcliffe's experience told again:
We decided that we'd map-read through the Zieder Zee and go home the way we came in. We scooted up the Zieder Zee. My engineer had flown with me on many, many trips. He and I always used to argue about speed and he'd say "No we've got to save gas, we've got to save gas." He'd never give me my speed. But this night, coming out I was saying "Cut those motors back, you're going to burn them out." He had them set right up to the max and we were really tooting along. He had it all set like that until we got out into the middle of the North Sea.
[Dave Birrell, Big Joe McCarthy, p.123]
Radcliffe went on to fly with McCarthy throughout the rest of their second tour. He was commissioned in November 1943, and awarded the DFC in June 1944. After coming off operations, he served in training units for the remainder of the war, returning to Canada in February 1945.
After the war he became a Customs and Excise Officer, and was also attached to the recruiting branch of the RCAF Reserve.
Bill Radcliffe died on 5 July 1952 when his car failed to go round a bend in the road, went into the Fraser River where he drowned. It was thought he had had a blackout. He was cremated and his ashes were scattered by his colleagues in the RCAF Reserve over his favourite mountain, Burnaby Mountain in Canada (also known as Eagle Mountain).
He had married Joyce Palfreyman, an English WAAF, and they had three children. Following his death, Joyce returned to the UK with the children to be nearer her own family.
The toy bear was shown on the Antiques Roadshow by Bill's daughter Dorothy in September 2015.

Dambuster of the Day No. 93: William Radcliffe

Sgt W G Radcliffe
Lancaster serial number: ED825/G
Call sign: AJ-T
Second wave. First aircraft to attack Sorpe Dam. Mine dropped successfully but failed to breach dam. Returned to base.
William Gordon Radcliffe was born in New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada on 24 September 1919, and was educated at New Westminster Central School and I J Fopp Technical High School.
In March 1939, suspecting that war was on its way, Radcliffe travelled to England with his friend Howard Godfrey, and volunteered to join the RAF as a ground crew mechanic. Over the next three years he developed the skills which Joe McCarthy would come to rely on later in the war.
In 1942 the RAF decided to dispense with the second pilot and institute the new position of flight engineer in its heavy bomber squadrons. Many ground crew saw this as their chance to fly, and amongst these was the young Canadian. Radcliffe was sent to the No 4 School of Technical Training at St Athans in Wales, and qualified as a flight engineer in July 1942. He was posted to 97 Squadron and flew on his first operation on 10 September 1942. A few days later, he had teamed up with Joe McCarthy and together with Ron Batson and Len Eaton became the nucleus of a crew which would stay together for almost two years.
Radcliffe was also the owner of the crew's mascot, a small stuffed Panda Bear which he would tuck into his boot on every flight. Its features were also copied onto the nose art on several of the crew's regular aircraft.
We got everything under control again and made some height to cross the coast. When we got back to the aerodrome we couldn't get any answer from our radio and after half an hour of circling we had to land by signals. When we got down we found the aerial inside the kite instead of outside. It must have broken off in the storm and come through the window. Believe me I was relieved to find some of the other crews were scared as much as we were. Mac is a wizard at handling the machine. If it hadn't of [sic] been for him … I think if I had to go through these storms on every trip I'd be grey before I'm 24.
After all the training came the raid itself. Because of the late change of aircraft, the McCarthy crew were more than half an hour late leaving the ground. Radcliffe's skills as a flight engineer were put to the test as they pulled out all the stops to make up time, something McCarthy would later acknowledge, and they were only nine minutes late reaching the Sorpe Dam. On their return journey, Radcliffe's experience told again:
After the war he became a Customs and Excise Officer, and was also attached to the recruiting branch of the RCAF Reserve.
Bill Radcliffe died on 5 July 1952 when his car failed to go round a bend in the road and went into the Fraser River, where he drowned. It was thought he had had a blackout. He was cremated and his ashes were scattered by his colleagues in the RCAF Reserve over his favourite mountain, Burnaby Mountain in Canada (also known as Eagle Mountain).
Footnote: It is interesting to note that there were two Canadian-born flight engineers on the Dams Raid. Both joined the RAF as ground staff before the war, and became flight engineers when the positions became available in 1942. The other was Sgt Charles Brennan in John Hopgood's crew who was born in Calgary, Alberta in 1916. His family emigrated back to the UK in 1928.

When looking for the security system installers, it is a good idea to acquire number of estimates. However, usually do not rely too heavily about them.

Ask him for copies of these records, after that verify that they are acceptable within Plattsburgh New York and still legitimate.

Mainly because it was Saturday morning. every person I called said that I might have to wait until at least several hours to get Who Installs Home Security Cameras fixed. But when I called the security system installer and spoke with Hilton, he told me it wouldn't take more than a couple of hours to have Demarcus emerge. Needless to say I was relieved, since i have expected out of town guests to get here soon and didn't want them to have to deal with the hassle of my security system matter – but when they rang me back 10 minutes after to tell me that they ended up only 15 minutes away, I got so blown away and pleased. They was in and out and about within an hour and the day was saved, Awesome business, Thank you.
Superb security system service beginning to finish. They arrived quickly to the initial estimate, showed me personally just what I needed to see, and did not try to oversell me. The price turned out to be very good. The security system installer was a joy to work alongside.
I wish there were more than 5 stars for Wilburn Over the past three years, I have hired his security system company for Six jobs some of which were large and also complex. I am not an security system installer, but I admire great work. His commitment to high quality and safety is unsurpassed. His work has not failed my business. He will certainly not fail yours.
Once the security system installers began, they were quick and efficient.They Completed the whole job in a couple days. It looks awesome, and I could not be more pleased. They were communicative and transparent throughout the whole process, that is a plus. I really recommend this company.

The Taj Garage: Commissioning the kitchen!
With the benchtops successfully installed it's time to get this kitchen cooking!!
We have a functioning sink!!
With Savva finished up I turned my attention to another important detail. With something like 30 family members joining us for Christmas, I thought one or two might like a little privacy in the bathroom. What better way than installing a door!
With the jamb set up properly the door went in pretty easily.
Next detail - the door furniture!
In my haste I grabbed the wrong lever set from the box. Being the bathroom, I've got a "privacy lockset" for this door to allow it to be locked from the inside. Except I didn't grab that one.. and the one I did grab has a 70mm backset (the distance from the edge of the door to the centre of the door handle). Of course, the correct privacy set has a 60mm backset, doesn't it.. which means I can't install it in this door because the hole is in the wrong place!!
Hey Simon - hanging out for an update!!
Hope you are not being affected by the fires - I noticed today there is a grassfire in Tallarook.
The place is really starting to take shape.


Is Yamaha Pressuring Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo To Race At The 8 Hours Of Suzuka?
The 8 Hours of Suzuka is a pretty big deal for Japanese motorcycle brands and every year, the country's Big 4 take extra lengths to ensure that their teams have an impressive showing at the event. This year is no different as Honda has already tabbed Casey Stoner to race for one of its factory-supported teams at the event on July 26, 2015. Turns out, Yamaha also has its own plans to field a star-studded line-up at the event featuring its own MotoGP riders, Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.
It's no secret that Yamaha is particularly serious about winning this year's 8 Hours of Suzuka race because it wants to parlay the acclaim of winning the event with its 60th anniversary celebrations. Having Rossi and Lorenzo, two of the best riders in the world, competing for the team will go a long way in achieving that. But the real question is this: are Rossi and Lorenzo willing to do it?
That's the million-dollar question at the moment. Unfortunately, we're not even close to finding an answer because Rossi and Lorenzo are apparently apprehensive about racing at the event. Both reportedly declined when Yamaha first broached the offer, but now that Honda has Stoner in the field, the House of Iwata is facing the all-too real possibility of seeing its victory at Suzuka slip away from its hands.
So there's talk that the company's putting the full-court press on its two riders to race and while it's unlikely that will get a definitive answer soon, look for this topic to be broached on more than one occasion at this weekend's MotoGP race at the Circuit of the Americas.
Continue reading to read more about Yamaha's plans for the 8 Hours of Suzuka.
I can understand why there seems to be some desperation on Yamaha's part to win the 8 Hours of Suzuka. Winning it for the first time since 1996 and in the same year it's celebrating its 60th anniversary is the kind of publicity you can't buy. So it's only natural for the company to field the best possible riders that can put it in a position to win. In Rossi and Lorenzo, they have two of the best in the business and if both riders agree to race at the event, Yamaha will arguably be the favorites to win it.
The issue here is getting Rossi and Lorenzo on board. Rossi, in particular, is reportedly not too keen about racing at the event, having already won it back in 2001 with Honda. According to reports, Rossi was actually determined to win that race 14 years ago so that he wouldn't have to do it ever again.
Then there's the issue of schedule. The 8 Hours of Suzuka takes place on July 26, 2015. The date actually falls right in the middle of MotoGP's four-week break so there won't be any scheduling conflict with the racing series. That said, the 8 Hours of Suzuka isn't just any kind of race. While it's technically labelled as an "endurance race," many riders who have participated in the event say that it actually feels like a full-on race that lasts for eight hours.
Subjecting yourself to that kind of physical pounding will probably have some kind of effect on Rossi and Lorenzo when they go back to MotoGP, which in turn could prove to be costly for the two riders who are likely to be in the middle of a championship race at that point in the season.
I get why Yamaha wants to win this year's 8 Hours of Suzuka so badly. But I'm not sure it's a good idea to get Rossi and Lorenzo involved when most of its rivals in MotoGP will be using the four-week break to recharge their batteries in time for the stretch run of the season.
I'd prioritize MotoGP over the 8 Hours of Suzuka any day because it's a lot more important in the grand scheme of things. Besides, if I'm Yamaha, winning the MotoGP title in the same year as its 60th anniversary has a much nicer ring to it.

Jennie Guy is an artist, curator and educator based in Dublin. Her practice embraces visual, textual, performance, and event-based output. Guy's work interrogates the rituals surrounding artistic production, seeking alternate modes of observation and response. She is the founder and director of Art School, a platform that establishes new interfaces between contemporary art and sites of education. Building on the momentum developed through Art School, Guy curated the EVA 2018 schools programme. In 2016 Guy launched Artists' Exercises with Stine Marie Jacobsen. As curator in residence with Rua Red Arts Centre she curated the exhibitions Field Recording (2018) and It's Very New School (2017).

Do you have a favourite art work of all time?
I don't tend to have favourites – and certainly not favourites of all time – as I am always encountering new work. But right now, my favourite work is Our Seedling Language by Adam Gibney, which was a per cent for art commission that I curated for St. Catherine's National School in Rush, Co. Dublin. This artwork is a gamechanger for schools, in terms of what they can hope to achieve through per cent for art projects. The press release for the project does a good job of describing it: "Your Seedling Language is comprised of two parts: a cluster of sound-and-light-producing sculptures in the school's entry stairwell, and a sensor tower outside of the school. The artwork utilises environmental data that is commonly related to the growth of plants. The moisture of the soil, light and temperature outside of the school provides organic compositional parameters that manipulate a generative, eight-channel vocal composition. The artwork unravels ideas surrounding the theory of biolinguistics, providing the school with a language of its own. The development of this work stemmed from research into Fingal's rich multicultural history and how this influenced the now unused Fingallian dialect". This project is such a strong example of Adam's work – and I'm so excited that students will be growing up with this occupying the main stairwell in their school. The project is open for public viewing by appointment, by contacting the school.
What is your daily routine as an artist?
My routine depends on the day. I work part-time as Manager of Programme and Operations at Fire Station Artists' Studios in Dublin, and spend my other days managing my independent projects. Over the last two years, striking the balance between these two commitments has been a good challenge
What would you say is the biggest challenge as an artist?
Realising that things always take longer than you imagine. Good projects take time to nurture and support.
Who has been of great influence to you in your field?
Again – as I'm bad at choosing singles – I'm going to list four people to answer this question. Vaari Claffey, for convincing me to stay in Ireland all those years ago to do my masters with MAVis (instead of heading to London to study at Goldsmiths). Sarah Pierce, for making complex things seem so clear, and for being such an amazing teacher and more recently such a strong collaborator. Helen Carey, for her generous guidance related to all things directorial. And finally, if I can extend my 'field' to include literature, I have to include Clarice Lispector, whose writing has been very close to me over the past several years.
Tell us about what you did / your project?
The project is based on developing and producing a new book, titled Curriculum. This book explores the intersection of contemporary artistic practice and sites of education in the 21st century. At the heart of Curriculum is Art School, an independent curatorial framework that I founded in 2014. Operating throughout Ireland, Art School establishes interfaces between contemporary art and sites of education, questioning pedagogical shifts through artistic practice. It takes place as a series of projects, exhibitions, workshop and residency programmes, bringing active contemporary artists into systems of education to inspire and to expand, but also to fracture and to revise. Curriculum is comprised of essays in which both Irish and international writers engage with the work of the artists who took part in residencies and workshops within Art School. Each essay provides a lens through which individual writers can focus on specific moments within the evolution of Art School, before working outwards through their own praxis, testing how these moments resonate within the wider field of art-in-education and radical pedagogies.
What has the support from the Arts Council meant to your practice?
This Project Award has given me the ability to stand over a body of work that I have been producing over the last five years, and to generate a new project that unites a community of national and international writers who are converging on an important subject.

Q: Extract text between two known strings in a web page and store in a variable The web page contains this line:

var zx_fn = "string with any possible character";

I download the web page, then I try to to take the part between quotes and store it in a variable
my code:
#!/bin/sh
url="http://www.example.com/..."
content=$(wget -q -O - $url)
var1=$(sed -n '/^var zx_fn = "$/,/^";$/p' "$content")
echo $var1

It doesn't work because it says:

sed: can't read

And it returns the whole page content
Also what's better for this case? grep, awk or sed?
This question has been marked as a duplicate but the other one doesn't clear my doubts, as i need help both with the variable storage and with the regex.
If I follow that answer, the code returns:

Syntax error: redirection unexpected

A: $ foo='var zx_fn = "string with any possible character";'
$ bar=$(sed -n 's/var zx_fn = "\([^"]*\)";$/\1/p' <<< "$foo")
$ echo "$bar"
string with any possible character

"any possible character" above is assumed to mean "... except double quote". If it can include double quotes then let us know how they are escaped within those strings so we can tell you how to handle them.

Microsoft runs test showing how quickly Chrome drains battery in comparison to Edge
Microsoft has published data comparing the battery consumption of different browsers to publicize Google Chrome's well-documented issues with battery life and promote the fact that Microsoft Edge is impressively low energy.
The Redmond, Seattle-based company measured the battery consumption of Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Edge, which it calls "today's leading browsers," in three tests. One was done in a controlled lab environment, while another was based on real world data from millions of Windows 10 devices.
The third test was captured in time lapse video and shows Surface Books running the same high-definition video wirelessly until they die. Chrome fares the worst in the test, lasting only four hours and 19 minutes, while Edge lasts seven hours and 22 minutes, about three hours more than Chrome and the longest of any of the browsers.
In the lab test, Microsoft hooked up a Surface book to power monitoring equipment and measured drainage during an automated cycle of standard web activities like opening pages, scrolling, and watching videos on popular sites.
In this test, Microsoft Edge came out 36 percent more energy efficient than Google Chrome, and 53 percent ahead of Firefox.
Microsoft also measured power consumption through wirelessly transmitted data sent from Windows 10 devices, revealing similar results shown in the chart below.
While Edge might be better for battery life, it lacks some of Chrome's most useful features, such as browser extensions. Edge will gain that functionality this summer with the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, however, showing Microsoft still has strong ambitions for the browser, which was rebranded not long ago from the often ruthlessly mocked Internet Explorer.

With that title, you have thought I'm some millennial young girl drooling after a millionaire man. Truth cannot be further than that.
I won't disclose my age but I have been working with this man close to 10 years. Heck, my past relationships haven't even lasted more than 5 years. For the sake of anonymity, let's name him Ryan after my favourite actor, Ryan Gosling.
I'm Ryan's personal assistant. It didn't start out that way. I was working in the same sales department as Ryan and as his career soar, he jumped from a salesperson to a sales manager and now a sales director.
After the second year of working alongside him, he decided to resign and brought together with him a number of sales folks, I included.
Slowly, I begin to work with him on major projects and we love our working chemistry together. He requested that I moved on with him as his personal assistant when he hopped to a much bigger company in the same industry.
By then, I was madly and secretly in love with him and I jumped at the opportunity to be close to him.
We work so well together. Our ideas just clicked and we always ended up conquering the most difficult projects with impossible deadlines. All our colleagues admire our close working relationship.
Even our clients mentioned that we are like Bonnie and Clyde. Our biggest clients trust my word when I said I speak on behalf of Ryan. There were plenty of late nights and business trips together and that just fuels our bond.
I begin to take note of his likes and dislikes. I know his favourite colour is blue so a lot of my work clothes are in different shades of blue. I know how he likes his coffee and I make sure that he gets that twice a day. I know that he gets riled up before every meeting and how he hates his mother sending him flowers at work on his birthdays.
Oh, how his eyes twinkled whenever we closed a big client. Or how his eyebags will show if he had a sleepless night. I even know the reason behind the sleepless night. That's how much I adore him.
I know he doesn't approve relationships at work and often make comments about it.
So I keep my distance. Not brave enough to let him know how I really feel. I tried to move on and forget him romantically.
I have several relationships outside work and I keep finding myself secretly comparing others to him. Nobody seems to even come close. I know I'm doomed. Instead of destroying more men's heart, I choose to be single for the past year.
Ryan had his portion of failed relationships as well. I've seen women come and go. As his personal assistant, one of my jobs is to set up dates and send flowers to ladies. All his ladies are gorgeous and smart. I'm nowhere near that kind of standards. I do not belittle myself but I am also realistic.
My best friend knows about my crush on Ryan and thinks that I'm wasting my time. I can't seem to walk away. By the way, I love what I do and working with Ryan is a perk. Yeah, unrequited love can be lonesome and heart do ache. I shudder to think of what will happen if I confess.
Maybe I'll let him know my feelings one day. Just not today. Not this week. And not this year.
Can't get enough of work secrets? Or do you have one of your own?
This is like a movie, Kally!!! I wouldn't know what to do myself if I were in her shoes. I think I wouldn't want to confess BUT it would hurt so much.
Unrequited love can be so painful to the heart — but rejection could bring the whole house of cards crashing down. Touch situation.
There was a time when personal assistants at work, generally women, to senior folks in the company, usually men, were referred to as 'office wives'.
Really? That's something new. I haven't heard before.

DATING #NO FILTER
NIGHTLY POP
LeBron James and More Athletes Who Married Their School Sweetheart

A lot of people love LeBron James, but his no. 1 fan is actually someone who knew him before his days as one of basketball's biggest stars—his wife, Savannah Brinson.
Brinson started dating James when she was just 16 years old. According to Harper's Bazaar, the two attended rival high schools and met at a football game. After James invited her to watch him play, they reportedly talked on the phone and had their first date at Outback Steakhouse.
Even though James covered Sports Illustrated his junior year, Brinson didn't think her beau would go on to become the NBA legend he is today.
"I just thought he'd be a hometown hero for his era and it would be over," she told Harper's Bazaar. "He was a normal high school senior."
The two went on to tie the knot in 2013. They share three children together—LeBron Jr., Bryce and Zhuri.
However, James isn't the only athlete to marry a school sweetheart. In honor the 2018 ESPY Awards this week, here's a look at more sports stars who married their middle school, high school or college love.

Carli Lloyd
Talk about an athletic couple! In 2016, Carli Lloyd married her high school sweetheart Brian Hollins, who is a professional golfer.
Jordy Nelson has known his wife Emily since early childhood. However, their romance didn't blossom until middle school. During an interview on The Dan Le Batard Show, the former Green Bay Packers wide receiver admitted Emily dumped him in the seventh grade. Luckily, the two rekindled their romance their freshman year of high school.
Couples goals! Alex Morgan met her husband Servando Carrasco in college. Both played soccer at University of California-Berkeley. The two rang in 2015 by tying the knot. That same year Morgan and the U.S. Women's National Team went on to win the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup.
Drew Brees met his wife Brittany his sophomore year at Purdue University.
"I made a real fool of myself when I first met her," the New Orleans Saints quarterback told ESPN the Magazine. "It was when I was a sophomore. It was my 20th birthday and I'd had about 17 shots and put my foot in my mouth. It was a typical football player cheesy line—we'll leave it at that. It took me six months to get the courage to talk to her again. I finagled my way to get invited to a party that I knew she'd be at."

Clayton Kershaw and his wife Ellen started dating in high school. According to ESPN, the Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher asked her out in between classes in the ninth grade. Per the media outlet, their first dates involved working on homework at Ellen's house.
According to Essence, Chris Paul met his wife Jada while attending Wake Forest University. The basketball player and his sweetheart tied the knot in 2011 and have two kids.
The ESPY Awards take place July 18.

The work is mostly Kim's.
The work is mostly mine.
The victory was almost Kim's.
The victory was almost hers.
i. The NP answer: Although, true, Kim's is a noun, and a nominal, in these examples it is actually the full noun phrase (NP); similarly for mine and hers. And while adverbs "do not occur as attributive modifiers within a nominal, ... many can occur as external modifier with an NP as head" (see Sec. 4.1, below). So there is no problem: NPs can be modified by adverbs.
iii. The verb answer: In these examples, the adverbs mostly and almost actually modify the verbs is and was. So there is no problem: verbs can be modified by adverbs.
This was the accepted answer to this question; so why don't I like it?
I don't like it because it seems to open a Pandora's box. After all, any noun can be the sole constituent of an NP. This analysis would imply a vast number of circumstances under which nouns may be modified by adverbs---potentially, all circumstances in which a noun is the sole constituent of an NP. What then remains of our analysis of adverbs as those words one of the key characteristics of which is that they don't modify nouns?
* Mostly John did the work.
But, on this analysis, why not? After all, John is clearly NP. It is even clear what the sentence means; moreover, I think the sentence is actually grammatical in some dialects (e.g. in Indian English)---but it definitely isn't grammatical in Standard English.
It would seem to me that the same remarks apply to the case of nouns and pronouns in the genitive (see Sec. 4.2, below).
ii. it would never occur to anyone to analyze It is mostly red as anything other than red being modified by mostly.
In conclusion, I don't much like any of the proposed answers. Is there another possible answer? Or is one of the ones above in fact the correct one, despite the objections I stated?
clear case of dedication to duty (note the missing determinative) is a Nom.
In [41V] the genitive marks the relation between Kim and the predicand all this, a relation like that expressible by belong + to. Kim's here is thus not part of some matrix NP, as it is in Types 1 and iii-iv: here, then, the predicative complement function is realised directly by a genitive NP. Genitive predicative complements are usually subjective, as in this example, but they can also be objective: Let's call it Kim's; I regard it as Kim's.
User Frank has suggested that mostly modifies the verb is, by analogy with not in The work is not Kim's. Here I want to explain why that is almost certainly not correct.
[A] The shoe is mostly red.
If the argument by analogy with not were correct, it would follow that in [A], mostly 'belongs with' is; in other words, that [A] should be analyzed as It [is mostly] red, because in The shoe is not red, the not belongs with is.
However, no reputable source would analyze [A] that way; instead, it would always be analyzed as The shoe is [mostly red], where mostly red is taken to be an adjective phrase (AdjP).
I will return to not later. For now, let me concentrate on [A] on its own.
The reason why mostly 'belongs' not with is but rather with red is that mostly red is a constituent, whereas is mostly is not. There are several kinds of tests that can help determine if something is a constituent. A very well-known one is that only a constituent can be replaced by a pro-form. And indeed: The right shoe is m̲o̲s̲t̲l̲y̲ ̲r̲e̲d̲, and the left one is s̲o̲ as well (so is a pro-adjective that substitutes mostly red).
To complete the argument, one also has to show that is mostly is not a constituent. For that, we use the principle that constituents always must either be conjoined, [1 ... 1][2 ...2], or nested, [1 ... [2... 2] ...1], but they cannot only partially overlap: [1 ... [2... 1]... 2] (see here). We showed above that mostly red is a constituent. But then it follows that is mostly cannot be a constituent, because it would only partially overlap with another constituent, namely mostly red.
[C] a. The shoe seems not red.
b. The shoe does not seem red.
Jane: I want the other shoe to be red.
Alex: OK, how does this shoe seem to you?
On the other hand, in b., it seems pretty clear that not belongs with does.
is ambiguous between being read like [Ca] (The shoe is [not red]) and being read like [Cb] (The shoe [is not] red).
On the one hand, here is some (admittedly inconclusive) evidence of the possibility of a [Ca]-like reading of [D]. Fronting: ?Not red, the shoe is. Answer ellipsis: "What is that shoe?" "Well, not red..." Pro-form substitution: The one thing I insist on is that all items be anything but red. Well, the hat is n̲o̲t̲ ̲r̲e̲d̲, the shawl is s̲o̲ as well, but the shoes are kind of reddish.
On the other hand, the [Cb]-like reading of [D] is arguably the standard one, though I (who am not a linguist) have had trouble coming up with a clear and conclusive demonstration of that fact. Perhaps this is not that surprising, as verb phrases are often more difficult to test for constituenthood than other kinds of phrases. So far, I only have answer ellipsis (sort of): "That shoe is red!" "Is not!"
And the point of all this, of course, is that [A] is analogous not to the [Cb]-like reading of [D] but to the [Ca]-like reading of it.
Whatever turns out to be the correct thing to say about [D], however, it remains the case that in [A], it is mostly red which is a constituent.
The NP answer is correct. Your objections to it are no good. The Pandora's box argument doesn't make sense -- just because an adverb immediately precedes a noun and there is nothing else in the NP, this doesn't mean the adverb modifies the noun. That is what your argument assumes, and it is just not so. In such cases, the adverb modifies only the NP and not the noun.
Your other objection is that in many cases a given adverb cannot modify a NP. But so what? Adverbs can modify many things, and there are all sorts of restrictions and complexities. Just because adverbs can sometimes modify NPs, it doesn't mean that every adverb can modify every NP.
There is a refinement to the proposal that adjectives are modifiers of nouns that you might like to know about. In McCawley's TSPE (which gives a very interesting taxonomy of adverbs), it is not nouns that are modified by adjectives, but rather N' (N-bar). An N' is (a) a noun alone, (b) a noun with a noun complement (e.g. the P' in "the father of the bride"), or (c) the result of modifying an N' with an adjective, relative clause, or whatever. N' can be replaced by the pro-form "one", as in "The unbroken red ball hit the window before the broken one (one = red ball) did."
There are two issues here. The first is that because an adverb happens to occur before a particular word, it doesn't mean it is modifying it. If an adverb is a sentence Adjunct, we may be able to put it in several positions in the sentence. This is the case with the adverb mostly in examples (1-2).
The work is Kim's, mostly.
Mostly the work is Kim's.
The work has mostly been Kim's.
The data above seem to show that the word mostly is a sentence Adjunct, not a modifier of the word Kim's. Clearly we could do the same thing substituting the word Kim's with mine.
On then to examples (3-4). The OP says that Kim's here is a noun and a nominal. Usually a nominal is the phrase headed by a noun that occurs after any Determiners within a noun phrase (NP). So within the NP the big dog the nominal is the phrase big dog. The nominal is the Head of the noun phrase. We can also say that the Head noun in the nominal is the Ultimate Head of the larger NP. So in the big dog, the Ultimate Head of the NP is the noun dog.
The structure of an NP, then, according to this kind of model, is usually a Head, a nominal preceded by a Determiner. Notice that Determiner here is a syntactic function (grammatical relation). We need to distinguish syntactic functions such as Subject, Head and Determiner from phrasal categories such as verb phrase or nominal and also from word categories such as determinative or noun.
Now not all NPs have a Determiner. Sometimes we have what are known as bare NPs. This is when an NP is realised by a nominal without any Determiner. So for example in Water flows downhill, the NP water is realised by a nominal. It has no Determiner. So the Head of this NP is the nominal water itself. Now the nominal water must have a Head too. The Head of the nominal is the noun water. The word water therefore is also the Ultimate Head of the NP. We can show that this is an NP, because we can freely use it with a Determiner: The water flows downhill.
This is because the word collector can only accept nominals, not NPs, as complements. We can clearly distinguish therefore between NPs realised by nominals and those nominals which aren't NPs.
Under the framework given by CaGEL (Huddleston & Pullum, 2002) we also find NPs wherein the syntactic functions of Determiner and Head have become fused, so that one element is performing the functions of both Determiner and Head. This is exactly what we find with the Original Poster's example (3-4). In (3) we see the NP Kim's. The Subject-Determiner-Head of this NP is the NP Kim's. The function of this NP is both that of Determiner and Head together.
With regards to examples (3-4), it seems to be, at least from the CaGEL standpoint that Kim's and hers must both be NPs. This is not a place where we would expect a nominal. However, more importantly, the Determiner function is being carried out by the phrase (along with the Head function). NP's have Determiners, but nominals don't. A noun cannot have a Determiner either. Words don't have internal functions of any sort. The adverb almost therefore must be regarded as modifying an NP, not a nominal or a noun.
Another way to look at this is to assume a DP hypothesis. In both cases these phrases would be regarded as determiner phrases, where a determiner phrase (notice the small 'd' for the label of the word category in this framework) is the equivalent of CaGEL's NPs. Now adverbs can modify DPs, but not the phrase headed by a noun within it. So again here we see that in both almost Kim's and almost hers the adverb almost is modifying a larger phrase, not the smaller phrase within it, and not the noun.
I don't think that "mostly" or "almost" modify the following noun.
1 The work is mostly Kim's (work). This is in other words "The work is Kim's work - in most cases. I can't understand the idea that "mostly" modifies "King's work". It is a sentence adverb.
2 The victory was almost Kim's. Actually it is the same case as in (1). But one might say that the function of "almost" is a special kind of negation, being near to "not". One might explain "Kim was not the winner, but he was on his heels.
I'm no scholar but it seems to me that the adverb mostly is obviously modifying is. It relates to a property of being of Kim's work.
The verb be here is asserting the identification of The work with Kim's [work] -- that is, they are the same thing.
The work is not Kim's work.
Now we can replace is not with is mostly, to get the meaning of partial identification.
The work mostly is Kim's.
The work is Kim's mostly.
In the first sentence do you consider that mostly qualifies the work? I don't think so, because it doesn't make sense without the other noun phrase (the complement) and the verb phrase. Mostly seems to be qualifying the whole sentence.
The second sentence appears to connect mostly to is. The third sentence appears to connect mostly to Kim's. The fourth sentence seems to connect mostly with is Kim's.
It's easy enough to construct sentences without verbs or complements to connect an adverb to.
(This work is) mostly Kim's.
Mostly needs both a verb phrase and a noun phrase, and if one of these phrases is missing it will be implied elliptically. It's equally valid to say the adverb phrase modifies the verb phrase (is), the noun phrase (Kim's), both at the same time (is Kim's), or the whole rest of the sentence (the work is Kim's). There is no single correct answer.

This small foundation's annual report is not only an effective piece of communication and a complete record of the organisation's year and all its activities, it also was produced on a tiny budget and has gone on to raise more than double its costs. So, it's an example for any small budget, solo fundraiser. It shows that effective communication isn't necessarily a cost, it should be a sound investment.
2007 marked a significant milestone for the organization. The purpose of this publication was to share that success with our donors and prospects.
To report back on achievements and revenue during the fiscal year.
Our small, regional, environmental NGO has been experiencing dramatic growth since it was restructured in 2004. At that time fundraising revenue was just over $144K per annum. As reported, in 2007 revenue had risen to over $698,000. We have also more than tripled the amount of funding provided to restoration programmes and 2007 was the first year we did not have to draw on reserves for administrative expenses. In fact, we put a surplus into reserves and may soon be able to hire another staff person!
People are noticing the 'Honour' page. In memoriam donations ('in memory of' and 'in honour of') have become a weekly part of our annual fund activities. These mostly come from new donors who have heard of us through friends.
For next year ,we will make our report more donor centred. It is easy to see in hindsight that while we were anxious to communicate results, the writing is fairly internally focused. For example, the success doesn't belong to the organisation, it belongs to the donors who support the organisation. This is a fundamental shift in thinking we are starting to practice in everything we do.
It is difficult to measure total impact. Financially, we didn't ask for money but we did include a BRE and a cover letter in the mailing. This proved very worthwhile. For the first time, unsolicited donations are coming in with notes and letters attached thanking us for our great work and even a few apologies from people that they aren't able to give more. Of course these handwritten notes are quickly replied to, also with a handwritten note.
$2,700, including design, printing and postage.
The hope was that by including a BRE we would be able to get the publication to pay for itself. Revenue has more than doubled the cost with $6,000 in donations since it was mailed less than three months ago.
In small organisations there often isn't the luxury of time or money. The chief fundraising officer frequently acts as the 'expert' in marketing, direct mail, major giving, governance, on line initiatives, planned giving and even special events. The survival strategy is simply to do the best we can to advance the mission, with the time and resources available.
This annual report demonstrates that, while it was produced in a small shop, the publication doesn't need to reflect that and the donors don't need to know it. Many constituents are surprised when they learn about our $50,000 operating budget (exclusive of salaries). They feel like they are part of something much bigger.
This document is also an example of how we can be proud of a 'work in progress', celebrating and learning from our work at the same time.
It is important for 'Jack of all trades' fundraisers to study and learn from organisations that have the resources, expert staff and the luxury of test results. We hope that by sharing information about this publication, other small fundraising shops will be willing to jump in and proudly share their work. SOFII is a great place for that!

People rescue a wounded person following three blasts of suicide bomb vehicle attacks in Mogadishu, on 9 November 2018.
The number of people killed when suicide bombers and gunmen struck a popular hotel in Somalia's capital has risen to 39 from the initial 22, police said on Saturday. "The death toll is sure to rise", Ali Nur, a police officer in the city, told Reuters.
Hotel guards and CID officers opened fire after the blasts, police added.
Police official Ibrahim Mohamed told AFP that "more than 10 people died, a lot of them civilians and some security guards". Then, about 20 minutes later, a third explosion hit the busy street, witnesses said. "So in total 28 people died, including the six militants".
Col. Qasim Ahmed Roble, Somali police spokesman, told reporters five attackers attempted to storm the hotel but were shot and killed by police.
A Reuters photographer saw 20 bodies as well as several destroyed vehicles at the scene of the incident.
