Q&A with the Devs - Ask a Pirate Day #6
Nitrado Forum Bot
Quote from ATLAS News (Steam)
Ahoy Pathfinders!
Conch here, bringing the latest edition of Atlas Community Q&A with the Devs! While murky waters and stormy seas may alter the exact timelines in the future, the Atlas crew will continue to provide more engagement opportunities during the off-weeks between patches. It may be through Q&A or may be a fun community event or two, but like a pesky barnacle on your broadside, we'll be making it tough to leave us in the wake.
Hmm? This seems familiar. How does it go? Release the... something something?
Well, thanks to my parrot postal friend, this image just landed on my shore. Apparently, she was recently spotted out in the deep sea, headin' our way! She's definitely a beauty... so, can anyone spare a coin or two so I can take her for a test sail? Shells don't get a lot of loot these days.
As a reminder, before we get into Q&A, with all the new features we provide, there is also significant development going on with optimization and maintenance of the current game. Again, these teams work in tandem and you can expect the major patches with overhauls or additions to some of the major gameplay components to come in due time. Meanwhile, to make sure our fellow pathfinders don't feel like they're overboard without a life preserver, we'll be releasing additional smaller content continuously until the big items we're working on are ready to set sail.
The ships to a better ATLAS have already charted their course and shoved off, but until then, doesn't mean we can't take a ride on a dolphin or seahorse and enjoy the voyage.
Without further ado, here's our Q&A! Hang out at our Discord for a chance to get your questions answered in the next Q&A!
Does the dev team have any thoughts on merging EU and NA pvp or maybe merging all of the servers to make 1 big megamap?
Yeah. We understand that this would be a lot of fun from the perspective of increasing the populations, but we're not ready to do this yet for two reasons:
1. We are concerned about lag when people are playing in distant servers (we locate the servers near where people are playing, so EU servers are in EU and any NA players going to those servers would suffer more lag).
2. There would always be a time when roughly half the population would be sleeping and thus easy pickings. Overall, we think that this will add to frustration until we have implemented ways of players protecting their stuff when offline.
Have you thought about making less planks needed on the lowest layer of ship building?
Yes. The new ship system will handle this much better once it rolls out.
How does the team feel about setting minimum stat values for blueprints at each rarity and adjusting the maximums, so that 300% cannons as an example cannot exist and so mythical blueprints that are no better than common ones don't exist either?
There is a huge balance pass in progress for blueprints right now. Please let us know what you think once it's done.
Are there any plans to reduce stun duration with shield bash or even use a diminish return so it isn't an indefinite lockdown?
Yes. There is a lot about combat that really bothers us and stun locking is number one. It's on the list.
Are there any plans for more "old style" ships to be released (build from frame up ones) or will all future ones at this point be prebuilt?
The new system contemplates a more modular design that isn't as intricate as the old system and isn't "prebuilt". For now they are as we work on the system, but ultimately it will be a modular system that allows you to swap components and create ships with different functions without allowing for the crazy exploits that the current system permits. It will also be more performant which should improve frame rate.
Any plans for bigger structures, like sea-walls/gates? So there's less need of overbuild harbours with thousands of structures?
Absolutely. We have this on our radar and will be looking into it as soon as time allows. We hear you.
When can we expect more pvp balances to come?
It would be great if players could provide a detailed list of changes they would like to see in the Discord channel. We have a long list of things we're fixing from the old team and putting a complete and forward thinking list up in the discord channel is the single best way to be heard. This goes out to all our players, not just Official PVP. (For example, last week's survey was based on a compiled list of player concerns)
When will the SoTD loot table be fixed? Also the instant/infinite respawn of Sea Fort tax banks? Will there be some tweaks also to the market/warehouse/farmhouse structures to limit companies from spamming them so that new/returning players can have a chance to get their markets up?
Consider them all added to the list. Cheers!
Will we see a new bossfight anytime soon?
Not for a while. We have to fix all the broken stuff and introduce new features first. In general, Bossfights didn't work well and were easily exploited.
Will Seahorses and Dolphins eventually be able to follow behind ships?
Yes. We are also looking into having them pull ships for speed and maneuverability.
Any update on tradewinds?
They are coming. :). We are still working on them and they should be here at the end of Q2 beginning of Q3. It might be sooner but don't want to promise it sooner than that.
Any ETA on some bug fixing and stability patches?
We run patches roughly every 2 weeks. There are a number of fixes associated with each patch so we are doing this constantly. If your particular issue isn't being surfaced, please join our discord and let it be known there.
Again, we would like to emphasize that ATLAS is still in Early Access, meaning many things can and will likely continue to drastically change - even in the middle of development. Anything discussed is only up to date as of the moment it is posted. Features and changes that ultimately make it to the next patch, as well as timing, may be different from what was previously discussed.
As always, we appreciate the suggestions and feedback from the community. Please keep them coming! Thank you for all of your support!
Happy Sailing,
- ATLAS Crew

New Yorkers in the Biden Administration
New York City plays a prominent role in the new Biden Administration, with several top positions being filled by men and women born and raised in NYC and educated in NYC high schools, universities and law schools.
Brooklyn-born Chuck Schumer is the new Senate Majority leader – and the first from New York and also the first Jewish Majority leader – which makes him one of the most powerful positions in the US government. Schumer was Minority Leader when the GOP controlled the Senate.
The Majority leader determines what laws are voted on in the Senate, and plays a major role in any pressidential impeachment trial.
Schumer also can steer millions of dollars in government programs and money to NYC and New York State, such as for education and public transportation, including the vital Gateway Project, to construct another rail tunnel under the Hudson River to transport passengers and goods through the Northeast and beyond.
Schumer's predecessor, Mitch McConnell, who becomes minority leader with the switch in power from GOP to Democratic party majority, claimed that he brought $1 billion to Kentucky, for everything from a veterans hospital in Louisville to a "forage animal production lab" devoted to horses and cattle at the University of Kentucky, according to the NY Times.
Schumer was a nine-term congressman when he defeated Senator Alphonse D'Amato, who was running for a fourth term, in 1998.
Fauci Pharmacy, Brooklyn
Dr. Anthony Fauci
Widely regarded as the nation's top infectious disease expert, he has been one of the most trusted voices – and faces – of the country's Covid-19 pandemic response.
Dr. Fauci has been director of the National Institute for Allergy and Infectious Diseases since 1984, serving presidents of both parties. In addition to staying in that job, he also becomes a chief medical adviser to President Biden.
Dr. Fauci grew up in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, in the apartment above the family pharmacy. As a boy, he delivered prescriptions for his parents' pharmacy, and he was captain of the basketball team at Regis High, an elite Jesuit school in Manhattan.
Read more about Dr. Fauci, including his ongoing love of baseball, which began when NYC had three hometown teams, the Brooklyn Dodgers, New York Giants and New York Yankees, in this NY Times profile.
Janet Yellin
If confirmed by the Senate, Brooklyn-born Ms. Yellen would become the first female Secretary of the Treasury, shepherding the battered US economy through one of the worst periods since the Depression a century ago, as the pandemic continues to devastate many parts of the economy.
Previously, as the chair of the Federal Reserve from 2014 to 2018, her policies laid the groundwork for a strong labor market and a record-long expansion that drove unemployment to its lowest rate in 50 years before the pandemic turned the world upside down – and which she will now have to fix once again.
Ms. Yellen grew up in Bay Ridge, and was the valedictorian at Fort Hamilton High School, where she wrote in the school newspaper that her hobbies included "attending Off Broadway theater, eating, riding the 69 St. Ferry, exploring New York City, and reading philosophy so that I can write unpopular essays."
Avril D. Haines
Mr. Biden's pick for director of national intelligence was raised in Manhattan and attended Hunter College High School,
She has been the top lawyer for the National Security Council and was deputy director of the CIA in the Obama administration, serving under director John Brennan.
Anthony J. Blinken
Mr. Blinken, the president-elect's pick for Secretary of State, grew up on the Upper East Side and attended the Dalton School, a Manhattan private school, before moving to France.
He earned his law degree from Columbia Law School and practiced law in New York.
Previously, he served as deputy secretary of state and principal national security adviser in the Obama adminsitration, where he worked closely with then-Vice President Joe Biden.
Blinken would not be the first New Yorker to be Secretary of State. New Yorkers Hilary Clinton, Madelaine Albright and Henry Kissinger preceded him in that important position.
Deanne Criswell
Mr. Biden named Ms. Criswell, the commissioner of NYC's Emergency Management Department, to head the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
In recent years, FEMA has grappled with the coronavirus, wildfires, hurricanes and the devastating effects of climate change both on the US mainland and in Puerto Rico.
In New York City, Ms. Criswell directed the city's response last year to powerful storms including Tropical Storm Isaias, as well as extreme heat and blackouts.
Polly Trottenberg
She has been NYC's Transportaton Commissioner, which included overseeing implementing the Mayor's "Vision Zero" traffic safety program, along with expansion of bicycling lanes.
She resigned from her post in December 2019, reportedly to prepare to run for mayor in the November 2011 election.
She is to serve with Mr. Biden's choice for Secretary of Transportation, Pete Buttegieg.
Doug Emhoff
Let's also include Brooklyn-born Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris, the first female VP, he is the first male "second spouse". He loved music enough to name his children Cole and Ella, after fellow New Yorkers and music legends Cole Porter and Ella Fitzgerald.
Emhoff went to college in California and became a leading entertainment lawyer. A client fixed him up on a blind date with the state's Attorney-General. They were married in a ceremony combining his Jewish faith and traditional Hindu elements.
Vice- President Harris' step-children call her "Mamala", which is both a play on her name, Kamala, and an affectionate Yiddish term that translates as "little mother" or "dear mother".
My mother called my son – her grandson – "bubala", or dear little boy. And my kids called her Omala – the German word for Grandma is Oma, and she was a dear little grandma.

Jaguars vs Colts Vegas Odds & Game Preview
Indianapolis won their fifth straight game last weekend to finally get back above the .500 mark after a disastrous 1-5 start. While their 27-24 home victory over Miami in Week 12 certainly wasn't a dominating performance by any means, the Colts offense did have a solid game through the air. QB Andrew Luck was fantastic, throwing for 343 yards and three touchdowns. Luck has now passed for 3,112 yards and 32 touchdowns in just eleven games and is a big reason why Indy has really started to turn things around. WR T.Y. Hilton also had a big game, racking up 100+ yards receiving for the second straight week. On the ground, RB Marlon Mack looked well on his way to another 100-yard rushing performance before being forced to leave in the second half due to a concussion. His status for Sunday is still questionable, although he was able to practice on a limited basis throughout the week. As a whole, Indianapolis is currently averaging 29.5 points per game (4th overall) on 388.2 yards of total offense.
The Colts have been pretty mediocre defensively through their first eleven games, giving up an average of 24.8 points per game (18th overall) on 360.3 yards of total offense. They have looked well below average against the pass, allowing 253.9 yards per game through the air (20th overall).
Jacksonville lost their seventh straight game last weekend, falling 24-21 on the road to Bufalo to drop to 3-8 overall after a decent 3-1 start to the year. The Jaguars continue to struggle on offense, as QB Blake Bortles passed for just 127 yards and a touchdown against the Bills while also getting picked off twice. The coaching staff has already announced that backup Cody Kessler will get the start here in Week 13, so it will be interesting to see how he performs against a below average Indianapolis secondary. RB Leonard Fournette turned in a solid 95 yard, two touchdown performance in Week 12 but was ejected in the second half after an altercation with Buffalo DE Shaq Lawson. It was announced early this week that he has been suspended for one game after throwing several punches during the incident, so Carlos Hyde and T.J. Yeldon will split carries out of the backfield on Sunday. Overall, Jacksonville is averaging just 17.9 points per game (28th overall) on 346.5 total yards of offense.
The Jaguars have been above average on the other side of the ball so far this season, surrendering only 22.1 points per game to opponents (8th overall) on 320.2 yards of total offense. They are extremely solid against the pass, giving up an average of just 205.6 yards per game through the air (3rd overall).
Free NFL Betting Prediction: Indianapolis -3.5
I am absolutely stunned that the Colts are just 3.5 point favorites in this matchup. These two teams are polar opposites of each other right now, as Indianapolis has won five straight while Jacksonville hasn't won a game since September. Andrew Luck and the rest of this high-flying Indianapolis are really firing on all-cylinders right now, scoring at least 34 points in four out of their last six games. The Jaguars are an absolute mess on offense and have now turned to backup Cody Kessler, who certainly doesn't inspire a lot of confidence.
Indianapolis is a rock-solid 18-7-1 ATS in their last 26 road games against teams with a losing home record. They are also 32-13-1 ATS over their last 46 games against opponents with a losing record and 3-1-1 ATS in their last five games overall. Jacksonville is a brutal 1-3-1 ATS in their last five home games and 0-5-2 ATS over their last seven games overall.
The Jaguars have also been terrible in divisional games as of late, as they are just 0-3-1 ATS in their last four meetings against the AFC South. I really don't see that trend reversing here in Week 13, especially with Fournette on the sidelines and Kessler leading the offense. Luck and Co. should steamroll on the road in this matchup, so I'm happy to lay the 3.5 points – give me the Colts.

'Pokémon Go' dataminers find references to legendary Pokémon
By Brad Jones	 July 14, 2016
In Pokémon Go, players are tasked with exploring their real-world surroundings in search of collectible critters — and particularly desirable beasties are often a fair few footsteps away. Now, there's word that highly sought-after legendary Pokémon might be on their way to the game.
References to Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres — the three legendary birds that could be found in the original Pokémon games — have been found in the new game's code, according to a report from The Daily Dot. However, it seems likely that these particular monsters will not be caught through normal means.
The legendary birds are among a handful of first-generation Pokémon that haven't currently been caught in Pokémon Go. However, anyone that's filled up their Pokédex past no. 147 will see that the three fierce flyers are included as part of the list.
Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are represented elsewhere in Pokémon Go, too, as their silhouettes are used to represent the game's three factions. As a result, it seems likely that earning these Pokémon will somehow related to the overarching competition between Team Mystic, Team Instinct, and Team Valor.
Currently, players pledge allegiance to a particular faction, then set out into their surroundings to claim gyms and leave fearsome Pokémon to defend the location. This offers up a reward in the form of the game's Pokécoin currency, but it's not difficult to imagine that an extension of this mechanic could earn players the legendary bird that corresponds to their chosen team.
The legendary birds aren't the only future content that's been uncovered in the game's code. The player responsible for the information posted his findings on Reddit, and revealed that references to Mew and Mewtwo are present, as well as currently inaccessible items like Max Revives, Max Potions, and Master Balls.

2000/01 season review
Season Review 2000/01
by Nathan on 09/03/2005
A season review of our 2000/01 season, a season which saw us relegated from the Ryman Premier Division to the Ryman 1st Division, the lowest step of the non-league pyramid in our history.
Season 2000/01 couldn't have started better for the Rebels. Three wins and a draw from our first four games saw Slough sit at the top of the table at the end of August.
But the Rebels were brought back down the earth in September, as it all started to go downhill. Six league games, three defeats, two draws and only the one win saw Slough dramatically slip down the table into 13th place by the beginning of October. Slough's already terrible September got worse as they were dumped out of the FA Cup at Tonbridge Angels by two goals to nil.
More embarrassment in the league followed in October with three more defeats, the only real high point being Slough's 4-3 win over Aldershot Town in the Full Members Cup.
November was overall a better month for the Rebels, although no change in league fortunes, Slough did manage to progress in two cup competitions. The Rebels convincingly surged past Bishops Stortford at Wexham Park by a 5-0 scoreline, and although some people argued that it was because we were playing a team from the division below us (Stortford were in the Ryman 1st Division at the time), it really was a good Slough performance.
Having already beaten Flackwell Heath in the last round, Slough travelled to Marlow where they won 2-0 in the 2nd round of the Ryman League Cup, but they were thrown out of the competition for fielding an ineligible player on the night, and it was Marlow who went through to round 3 to play St. Albans.
Slough lost all their games in December, during which time they went out of the FA Trophy at Newport County (Wales) and the Full Members Cup to Bromley.
Already out of all but one cup competition by the New Year, Slough had only the league to concentrate on, so there was no excuse for many bad performances. But that didn't stop Slough from performing badly, and their first win of the year came on 30th January at fellow strugglers Carshalton Athletic, thanks to a last minute goal from Paul Holsgrove. It was their first league win since September 23rd, when they beat Croydon 1-0 at home, a gap of 13 league games.
Slough showed what one win could do for a teams confidence and morale as, having struggled to record one victory in 13 attempts, they won two in a row as the Rebels beat Enfield 3-1 at home, with the goals coming from Chris Allen, James Lambert and Mark Hall. but yet more disappointment was to follow in the form of the Berks & Bucks Cup, as the Rebels lost out to Maidenhead United by 2 goals to nil at York road, leaving only the league to look forward to for the rest of the season.
Just one defeat in four games in March, but unfortunately no victories either as the Rebels recorded three draws and a defeat. Slough must have thought their were home and dry in their home league game against Sutton United, but they threw away a 4-1 lead to draw 4-4. One point wasn't really good enough as that result left Slough just five points above the drop zone. Following a 0-0 draw at Billericay, Slough dropped into the bottom three and their home game against Hitchin Town was a must win. Unfortunately, Slough lost the game 3-0.
A real relegation dogfight was now on the cards, and the Rebels travelled to Croydon who had spent most of the season in the bottom three looking for a win. Rebels fans who travelled to the game that day made the journey home bitterly disappointed as Slough put in a terrible performance and were stuffed 4-1. But Slough had the chance to make amends on 7th April when bottom of the table Dulwich Hamlet visited Wexham Park, a game which the Rebels really should have won, but only drew 1-1.
Slough went into their home game with Billericay Town on 10th April with a mere 29 points from 34 league games, but another two points and they would have been out of the drop zone. Slough lost the game 3-2, but things were looking encouraging judging by the way the team performed on the pitch. If they had performed like that for the remainder of the season, they would have avoided relegation easily.
A 1-1 draw at Farnborough left Slough with a fighting chance of avoiding the drop, and things were really starting to go Slough's way with a 1-0 home win over local rivals Maidenhead United. But they weren't home and dry yet, there was still five league games left to play, from which they picked up two wins and three defeats.
Our relegation was all but confirmed after Slough lost 1-0 at fellow relegation candidates Harrow Borough, but a 2-0 win at home to Gravesend & Northfleet and a 3-1 home win against Carshalton Athletic left Slough going into their final game of the season at Chesham with everything to play for.
But Slough lost the match 2-0. The Rebels were relegated in a really poor performance which left the loyal Slough fans screaming for manager Steve Browne's blood.
Final League Position: 20th (relegated).

For transparency sake, the following covers Bailonga's policies regarding payment of teachers, DJ's, musicians, and organizers, as well as other money-related topics.
Bailonga's payment policies are currently in the process of revision. We are aiming to increase the amount we pay teachers, as well as offer payment to organizers. Look for more updates in this section soon.
The default payment for Bailonga teachers is $10. All local teachers are offered this amount when they begin teaching. A large portion of the teachers at Bailonga volunteer their time or volunteer on nights that attendance is low, but they are not obligated to do so. Teachers may switch from volunteer to paid, or vice versa at any time. Teachers are also given free attendance the night they teach.
If a teacher is from out of town, or otherwise focuses their career in teaching tango, a higher payment can be negotiated. In town instructors are usually paid $20-30, out of town instructors are usually paid $50-100, depending on the instructor's rates and how much flexibility they want to offer Bailonga in order to invest in the community.
The default payment for DJ's at Bailonga is $20 for the full evening, regardless of whether there is live music or not. All DJ's are offered this amount when they begin DJing. Some DJ's volunteer their time as a donation to the community. DJ's may switch from volunteer to paid, and vice versa at any time. DJ's are also given free attendance the night they DJ.
Out of town DJ's are paid based on the rate negotiated with each individual DJ.
By default, Bailonga offers musicians the ability to name a minimum payment for their services, and Bailonga will guarantee that they be paid that amount. Bailonga will then pay musicians any additional income made the night of the performance after expenses are paid. Musicians are informed of the small size of our community and relatively low budget but encouraged to name a price that they are comfortable with and that appropriately values their work. Musicians regularly offer discounted rates to Bailonga as a result.
Musicians are also given free attendance the night they perform and the ability to bring a plus one guest if approved by Kella first.
Amount paid to musicians varies greatly. In town musicians are usually paid between $40-$100. Out of town musicians are paid anywhere from $200-$800 depending on the size of the band and the distance they're traveling.
Bailonga is currently run by two organizers, Ellen and Kella. Organizers are not paid for their work and are exclusively volunteers. Organizers are offered free attendance at all times. Organizers are reimbursed for any expenses made for supplies.
Bailonga pays $90 a night in rent and $300 a year for insurance, which averages out to $6 a night. Bailonga also pays for desk supplies such as fliers and breath mints, and special event supplies like decorations, food, drink, and cutlery.
Bailonga regularly receives donations from attendants who have been offered free attendance but choose to pay anyways, or from attendants who pay significantly more than the required entry fee. Bailonga also occasionally receives larger donations from community members to put towards live music and out of town instructors.
DJ's, teachers, and musicians receive free entrance on the nights they perform their service. Bailonga organizers receive free entrance at all times. Anyone who works a 30-minute desk shift (or 45-minutes during the lesson) receives free entrance for that evening.
Bailonga has an agreement with the Crossroads Blues/Fusion community that all Crossroads organizers are given free entrance to Bailonga, while Bailonga organizers receive free entrance to Crossroads dances.
Kella will occasionally offer free entrance to individuals on a case by case basis.
All "extra" money left over at the end of the night once expenses have been paid is later invested into Bailonga. The majority of Bailonga's "profit" goes towards future live music or is otherwise saved towards a larger expense. Regardless, all the money stays with the dance event and is not taken for personal use.


Ventricular assist devices (VADs) are used for aiding a failing heart by supplementing the pumping function of the heart. VADs are often used in patients with advanced heart failure (HF). HF is a chronic disease that occurs when degeneration of the heart muscle reduces the pump power of the heart, which causes the heart to become too weak to pump blood at a level sufficient to meet the body's demands. The condition may be caused by arterial and valve diseases or cardiomyopathy, which is disease of the heart muscle itself. Other conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes may also lead to HF.
The American Heart Association (AHA) estimates that 5.1 million people suffer from HF in the U.S. and approximately 550,000 new cases are diagnosed each year. Pharmacologic therapies remain the most widely used approach for treatment of HF but heart transplantation remains the only curative option for late stages of the disease. Other procedures to treat HF include angioplasty, biventricular pacing, valve replacement, bypass and left ventricular reduction surgery.
VADs are designed to assist either the left (LVAD), the right (RVAD) ventricle, or both at the same time (BiVAD). The choice of device depends on the underlying heart disease and the pulmonary arterial resistance that determines the load on the right ventricle. LVADs are by far the most commonly performed procedures but when pulmonary resistance is high, right ventricular assist becomes necessary. Biventricular assist devices supply circulatory support to both the right and left ventricle of the heart, by pumping blood to both the systemic and pulmonary systems. Being an assist device, a BiVAD functions in conjunction with the native heart, unlike a total artificial heart with which the native heart is removed. By retaining the native ventricles of the heart, a BiVAD allows for the possibility of myocardial recovery, which would eliminate the need for cardiac transplantation. For the purpose of this report, VADs are segmented into three categories: percutaneous ventricular assist devices (pVADs), implantable ventricular assist devices and external ventricular assist devices. Implantable VADs are used for bridge-to-recovery (BTR), bridge-to-transplant (BTT) and destination therapy (DT). These labels are described briefly below.

For many brides- (and to be fair, grooms-) to-be, the word frugal never enters their minds when planning their special day. So perhaps it's not shocking that TheKnot recently found that the average cost of a wedding is $28,427. That's an increase of more than $1,400 from the previous year.
If you're fortunate to have someone paying for your wedding — or at least cover a portion of the costs — you might not need to worry about sticking to a budget. But if you're like many young couples and don't have a ton of cash just sitting around (and borrowing the money from your folks is out of the question), you'll need to pare down your ceremony and reception. Even then, you might need financial assistance in order to make your wedding day happen.
Our credit experts break down all of your payment options. See which one may be the right fit for you.
If you own your house, you may be able to get relatively inexpensive financing with a home equity line of credit (HELOC) to foot your wedding bill. Since this type of borrowing is backed by your home (i.e., a secured loan), it's likely that the interest rate will be lower than what accompanies a personal loan.
Keep in mind, not all banks offer HELOCs these days. Shop around. In fact, sometimes local credit unions can be the best place to look for a HELOC.

YING-ho 英和 (T. 樹琴, H. 煦齋, 脀叟), May 27, 1771–1839, July 18, official and writer, was a Manchu of the Socolo 索綽絡 clan. Certain of his ancestors were probably taken captive by Nurhaci or Abahai [qq. v.], and so went into the service of the Ch'ing Imperial Household as slaves or bondservants. His great-grandfather, Dutu 都圖, served as a department director in the Imperial Household under Emperor Shêng-tsu and was given the Chinese surname, Shih 石. His father, Tê-pao 德保 (T. 仲容, 潤亭, H. 定圃, 1715–1755), became a chin-shih in 173. In that year a cousin of his father, named Kuan-pao 觀保 (T. 伯容, H. 補亭, d. 1776), obtained the same degree. The two cousins were selected bachelors of the Hanlin Academy—Kuan-pao serving as president of the Board of Ceremonies (1769) and of the Censorate (1769–74); and Tê-pao as governor of Kwangtung (1770–76) and of Fukien (1776–78), and as president of the Board of Ceremonies (1778–89).
Ying-ho became a chin-shih in 1793, entered the Hanlin Academy, and two years later became a compiler. In 1799, after the corrupt minister, Ho-shên [q. v.], had been superseded, Emperor Jên-tsung gave high posts to some officials who had been courageous enough to oppose that once powerful mandarin. Ying-ho records that he shared in the imperial favor because, when he was young, his father had declined to affiance him to Ho-shên's daughter. Thus, in 1799, Ying-ho became a sub-chancellor of the Grand Secretariat and a year later was made a vice president of the Board of Ceremonies. In 1801 he was given the concurrent post of a minister of the Imperial Household-an office once filled by his father. In the same year he was transferred to the Board of Revenue, and in 1804 was made concurrently a Grand Councilor. In 1805 he ventured to expose a colleague, Liu Ch'üan-chih 劉權之 (T. 德輿, H. 雲房, 1739–1818), for having appointed a favorite to office; but because he informed the Emperor privately and had failed to make his accusation public, he incurred the imperial rebuke. Though the accused official was degraded, Ying-ho himself was also lowered in rank. Nevertheless, later in the same year (1805), he was again made a sub-chancellor of the Grand Secretariat. In 1806 he was promoted to be a vice-president of the Board of Works and was once more made a minister of the Imperial Household. In 1810 he was reinstated in the Board of Revenue. The following year he accompanied the Emperor on a journey to Mt. Wu-t'ai in Shansi. For failure to detect in 1812 an error in the Kao-tsung Ch'un Huang-ti shêng-hsün (see under Hung-li), he was again degraded; but scarcely a year elapsed before he was made a vice-president of the Board of Ceremonies.
During most of his years after 1802 Ying-ho served as one of the Emperor's private secretaries in the Imperial Study. It was in this capacity that he accompanied Emperor Jên-tsung on a hunting trip to Jehol in the summer of 1813. The Emperor was on his way back from Jehol when it was reported that the Palaces in Peking were being stormed by the T'ien-li chiao rebels (see under Na-yen-ch'êng). The Emperor at once dispatched Ying-ho to the capital to assume acting command of the Gendarmerie. By swift and efficient action Ying-ho was able to take into custody many leading offenders. His activities during this episode, and in the subsequent campaign in Honan, are recounted in the official publication, 平定教匪紀略 P'ing-ting chiao-fei chi-lüeh, 42 + 1 chüan, printed in 1818. It seems that his services at this juncture were highly appreciated, for in 1813 he was made president of the Board of Works and filled several concurrent posts. The following year he was given the lucrative post of superintendent of the Customs and Octroi of Peking and was promoted to be president of the Board of Civil Office.
In 1820, on his fiftieth birthday, Ying-ho was honored with unusual gifts. In that year the new Emperor, Hsüan-tsung, ascended the throne and Ying-ho was transferred to be president of the Board of Revenue. Two years later he was appointed concurrently an Associate Grand Secretary and chancellor of the Hanlin Academy. In 1824 he expressed himself in favor of transporting grain from South China by the sea rather than the canal route (see under T'ao Chu), and in 1826 advised the Emperor to undertake an extensive campaign in Turkestan (see under Ch'ang-ling). Late in 1826, however, he incurred the Emperor's displeasure by requesting permission to open silver mines in the vicinity of Peking. For this request he was degraded to be president of the Court of Colonial Affairs. He was also ordered out of the Imperial Study and the Imperial Household. In 1827 a tenant of one of his houses in Tungchow accused him of unjustly raising the rent. In consequence of this charge he was deprived of all his high offices, including that of Associate Grand Secretary, and was degraded to be military governor of Jehol. In 1828, when he was ordered to go to Ninghsia, he pleaded illness and was allowed to go back to Peking.
After two months in Peking, a serious charge was lodged against him. From 1821 to 1827 he had been assigned the task of constructing the tomb of the reigning Emperor, at Pao-hua yü 寶華峪 in the Eastern Mausoleum, on a site that had been selected by Grand Secretary Tai Chün-yüan 戴均元 (T. 可亭, H. 恆泰, 修原, 1746–1840, chin-shih of 1775). In his frugality, however, the Emperor had not allowed an adequate sum for construction. In 1827 the tomb was completed, and Ying-ho, Tai Chün-yüan and others were rewarded. After a lapse of only a year the walls were reported to be damp and the stone floor covered with a thin sheet of water. Angered by this report, the Emperor ordered the arrest of all concerned, as well as a thorough investigation. Ying-ho, Tai, and several other officials were deprived of their ranks and had their property confiscated. None of these officials were found to have misappropriated funds—their mistake was one of faulty engineering. But because he had the final decision in these matters, Ying-ho was punished with banishment to Heilungkiang; while his sons, K'uei-chao 奎照 (T. 伯沖, H. 玉庭, chin-shih of 1814) and K'uei-yüeh 奎耀 (T. 仲華, H. 芝圃, chin-shih of 1811), were dismissed from the posts they held, and sent to Heilungkiang to keep their father company. Several other officials were banished to Turkestan. Owing to his advanced age of eighty-three (sui), Tai was pardoned and was allowed to return to his home in Ta-yü, Kiangsi. The Emperor abandoned the Eastern Mausoleum as a site for his tomb and built a less pretentious one at the Western Mausoleum. The new tomb was completed in 1835, and he was buried there.
While in exile, Ying-ho studied local conditions at Tsitsihar, capital of Heilungkiang, and wrote two works about the region: one, entitled 卜魁紀略 Pu-k'uei chi-lüeh, is a collection of miscellaneous notes; the other, entitled Pu-k'uei ch'êng fu (城賦), is an essay in rhythmic prose. After more than two years in exile he was pardoned (1831) and given permission to return to Peking where he lived in retirement for eight years more. In 1835 he had the satisfaction of seeing his grandson, Hsi-chih 錫祉 (T. 孟繁, H. 子受), become a chin-shih and be selected a bachelor in the Hanlin Academy. Six members of his family—in four generations—thus became Hanlin: his father, himself, his uncle, his two sons, and a grandson, making a record rarely surpassed in the history of the Ch'ing dynasty. In 1836 he bought a garden in the Western Hills where he spent much of his remaining years. He died in 1839 and was given posthumously the rank of a third grade official.
In his last years Ying-ho edited his own writings under eight titles, known collectively as the 恩福堂全集 Ên-fu-t'ang ch'üan-chi. The collection contains, among others, the following: Pu-k'uei chi, his writings at Tsitsihar; Ên-fu-t'ang chih-i, his essays written in the examination hall style, of which a manuscript copy is in the Library of Congress; Ên-fu-t'ang pi-chi (筆記), 2 chüan, printed in 1837, being miscellaneous notes about his family, his friends, and himself; Ên-fu-t'ang nien-p'u (年譜), an autobiography; and Ên-fu-t'ang shih-ch'ao (詩鈔), 12 + 2 chüan, his collected poems, which probably exist only in manuscript. His wife (nêe Sakda 薩克達, T. 介文 H. 觀生閣主), achieved some skill as a writer of verse and as a painter.
In the course of his official career Ying-ho directed two provincial examinations (Shun-t'ien 1800, Kiangnan 1801) and two metropolitan examinations (1805, 1809). Many famous scholars and officials styled themselves his mên-shêng 門生, or disciples, because they had entered officialdom by examinations which he had conducted. Among them may be mentioned Mu-chang-a, Hsü Sung, and Chiao Hsün [qq. v.]. With most of his contemporaries he was on friendly terms except, perhaps, with Ts'ao Chên-yung [q. v.] whose ill-will he incurred in 1814 when he vetoed a proposal to raise funds by the sale of official ranks—a measure which it seems Ts'ao favored. It is believed by some that Ying-ho's recurrent rise and fall may have been in part due to Ts'ao's opposition. Doubtless another factor was the notorious corruption which obtained among the functionaries in the Imperial Household. They resented the efforts of a minister to economize or to interfere with their perquisites, and had their own ways to effect his downfall. Other ministers of the Imperial Household who suffered similarly were: Sung-yün [q. v.], Ching-chêng (see under Shêng-yü), Hsi-ên 禧恩 (T. 仲蕃, posthumous name 文莊, 1784–1852), and I-chi 奕紀 (d. 1863). Hsi-ên, a son of Ch'un-ying (see under Dorgon), was intermittently for nearly thirty years (1815–45) a minister of the Household and was several times disgraced.
I-chi was a grandson of Yung-hsing and younger brother of I-ching [qq. v.]. After serving for six years (1834–40) as a minister in the Household, he was sentenced to hard labor in Hei lungkiang. Officially he was accused of having accepted a. bribe from a. Mongolian Lama in 1839, and of having retained the gift for eight days before he made up his mind to return it, Actually his offense was that, having claimed to be a physician, and having been named to attend Empress Hsiao-ch'üan (see under I-chu) in her last illness, he had failed to prevent her death which took place on February 13, 1840. Seven days later he was put on trial on the bribery charge and on March 2 was banished.

Biographie
Bruno Araújo est originaire de Luanda, capitale de l'Angola. Il grandit au sein d'une famille passionnée par le monde du vélo. Son père Justiniano est devenu à onze reprises champion d'Angola de cyclisme, tandis son oncle Carlos a évolué au niveau professionnel en Europe au sein de la formation portugaise Sicasal-Acral, au début des années 1990. Il a également un frère, Leonel, qui est devenu champion national chez les juniors.

Il débute le cyclisme à l'âge de sept ans et participe à ses premières compétitions en 2012, avec le club local Benfica de Luanda. À seize ans, il commence à courir en Europe. Bon grimpeur, il prend la treizième place du Tour du Portugal cadets en 2014. En 2015, il termine sixième et meilleur junior de la première édition du Tour d'Angola. Il s'impose ensuite sur une manche de la Coupe du Portugal juniors en 2016, sous les couleurs de la formation Sicasal-Liberty Seguros-Bombarralense. La même année, il représente l'Angola lors des championnats d'Afrique juniors de Benslimane, où il se classe troisième du contre-la-montre par équipes et cinquième de la course en ligne.

En 2017, il intègre la nouvelle équipe angolaise BAI-Sicasal-Petro de Luanda. À dix-neuf ans, il devient champion d'Angola sur route dans la catégorie espoirs (moins de 23 ans). Il finit par ailleurs dixième du Tour de Côte d'Ivoire. Lors du Tour de Madagascar, il remporte trois étapes, le classement des sprints intermédiaires, et termine quatrième du classement général, après avoir été un temps maillot jaune.

Aligné sur le Tour du Rwanda 2018, il gagne le classement des sprints intermédiaires. Il est ensuite conservé par sa formation BAI-Sicasal-Petro de Luanda en 2019, lorsque celle-ci devient une équipe continentale. Après une participation au Tour du Portugal, il prend part aux Jeux africains de Benslimane, où il se classe sixième du contre-la-montre par équipes et onzième de la course en ligne. Deux mois plus tard, il termine deuxième et meilleur jeune du Tour du Faso, derrière son coéquipier Dário António.

En janvier 2020, il se classe huitième d'une étape de la Tropicale Amissa Bongo, avant que la saison ne soit interrompue par la pandémie de Covid-19. En 2022, il est sacré champion d'Angola sur route chez les élites.

The City of Calgary held an information session for this application on June 26, 2018. Please view these City of Calgary boards from the session for more details on The City's application review process. For a summary of feedback received, please view the What We Heard report.
17 Project is a mixed-use development proposed for the northwest corner of 17 Ave. S.W. and 14 St. S.W., in the community of Sunalta. The applicant, Arlington Street Investments, submitted a formal land use application in the spring of 2018. The application seeks to redesignate the parcel to allow for a high density mixed-use development, which would accommodate retail on the lower levels, an urban market and approximately 400 residential units above.
While there is general policy support for intensification at this location, the project will require a land use redesignation and policy amendment to the Sunalta Area Redevelopment Plan to allow for the increase in density and height.
Pre-application meeting to discuss the potential for a mixed-use development at the subject site.
Applicant-led open house: Input to inform the applicant's submission for land use application.
Formal submission of land use application and amendment to Sunalta ARP.

They Thought No One Had Ever Escaped From Alcatraz... Until The FBI Received This Note - History All Day
They Thought No One Had Ever Escaped From Alcatraz… Until The FBI Received This Note

Alcatraz is infamous in the history of US prisons. Its location on a small island in the cold waters of San Francisco Bay made it impossible to escape – at least that was the idea. Any inmate brave enough to try would have to swim over a mile in frigid water with a strong current before they could make it to land.

Between its opening in 1934 and its closing in 1963, a total of 36 inmates tried to escape their incarcerated fate. The most famous case came in June of 1962. Since the prisoners were never captured and their bodies were never found, their fate was uncertain for a long time. However, decades later, new evidence came in that made authorities reopen their investigation. What did they learn?
John Anglin Writes a Letter
In 2013, a letter was sent to the San Francisco Police Department. "My name is John Anglin," the letter began, "I escaped from Alcatraz in June 1962 with my brother Clarence and Frank Morris."
FBI Media
The escape of John Anglin, Clarence Anglin, and Frank Morris from the "inescapable" Alcatraz prison in 1962 has haunted law enforcement for many years. In the '60s, it was assumed that all three drowned in the frigid waters, but how accurate was this assumption? No bodies were found. Could this letter be true?
How the Letter Was Handled
The infamous escape from Alcatraz has stumped officers for many years. After a thorough search, they had to drop it for other cases – leaving it unsolved. Now, decades after the fact, a letter comes in claiming the escapees were successful.

What was law enforcement supposed to do with this new piece of "evidence?" At first, they were skeptical – the letter arrived in 2013, but it wasn't until the early part of 2018 that the FBI decided to re-open its investigation.
An Unbelievable Escape
Alcatraz was a federal prison designated for the worst of the worst. Some of the most notorious criminals of the 20th century – men like Al Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelly, and Alvin "Creepy" Karpis – spent time confined in its cells.

It was designed to keep them far away from the rest of American society. The prisoners took it as a challenge. Despite the considerable risk, roughly 14 escape attempts were made before the closure of Alcatraz in 1963. What made John, Clarence, and Frank's escape so special?
Rough Odds
The plan itself was pretty straightforward – namely, escape from Alcatraz – but the flawless execution of the plan was a lot more complex. It would require a coordinated team effort over a long period of time.
Many tried before and, to be honest, the track record didn't look too good – none of the previous escapees pulled it off! Of the 36 or so who tried, two drowned, five probably drowned, six were fatally shot, and 23 were caught and returned to prison.
The Escape Begins
Although three escaped, there were four involved in the original plan. Alongside brothers John and Clarence Anglin, there was Frank Lee Morris and Allen West. All four of them had adjacent cells at Alcatraz – and plenty of prison time to plan an escape!
Each member of the escape crew recognized each other from time spent in jails in Florida and Georgia. So, when they saw that they were bunked next to each other in Alcatraz, they decided to hatch a plan.
Frank Morris's Background
Frank Morris had a rough life. At the age of 11, he was orphaned. After that, he spent most of his time in institutions – foster homes or prisons. Morris was first convicted of a crime at age 13, and many more came during his teen years.
He spent his 20s and 30s in and out of jail for a variety of crimes (narcotics, robbery, larceny). After he escaped from a Louisiana prison, he was sent to Alcatraz. By that time, he was highly intelligent and cunning.
Not a Newbie
As seen from above, Frank wasn't a newbie to prison life. After serving a few stints here and there (mostly Florida and Georgia), he was given a long sentence at Louisiana State Penitentiary, the so-called "Alcatraz of the South."
The sentence was 10 years for bank robbery. Frank quickly hatched a plan to escape, and successfully pulled it off! He lived on the run for about a year before getting caught again (for another robbery). After that, he was sent to Alcatraz.
The Anglin Brothers
Frank Morris's mind was on escape the moment he got to Alcatraz prison. However, this one would be more difficult, so he decided to team up with the Anglin brothers and Allen West.
Anglin Brothers Museum
The Anglin brothers hailed from Georgia. Born to Rachael and George Anglin, the brothers were two of 13 siblings. Since their parents did seasonal farm work, they moved around a lot – anywhere from Florida to Michigan. Every summer, they would head up north for the cherry-picking season.
The Brothers' Criminal Background
While growing up, John and Clarence were inseparable. When the family was up north in Lake Michigan, they learned to become accomplished swimmers – so much so, that they were able to swim comfortably even when there was ice!
During their adult years, the Anglin brothers turned from picking cherries to robbing businesses and banks. They were successful for a while in the early '50s. However, in 1958, they were caught trying to rob a bank in Alabama and given 35-year sentences.
The Escape Group Forms
The brothers weren't excited about their 35-year sentence, so they tried (multiple times) to escape from the Atlanta Penitentiary. Eventually, the authorities were fed up and sent them off to Alcatraz – the inescapable prison. They got a cell next to Frank Morris, who was also there because of an escape attempt.
Alcatraz History
Along with Allen West, the four prisoners had plenty of experience surviving in prison and planning prison escapes. They pooled their knowledge together and hatched a plan to leave "The Rock."
Gathering Tools
One thing that helped the crew out was the fact that Alcatraz was a factory alongside being a prison. Inmates produced furniture, clothes, shoes, and more for the US military. In other words, there were plenty of tools lying around.
Another thing that worked out for them was the fact that most Alcatraz prisoners were there for violent crimes. That means the guards were equally wary of everyone, and if the group kept up some good behavior, then they could fly under the radar.
A Clever Plan
Slowly, the four men implemented their plan – which, to be fair, was quite clever. To trick the guards, they planned on leaving behind fake dummy heads in their beds to make it look like they were sleeping.
The dummy heads would be useful as a way to safely escape from their cell. However, once outside of their cell, they would still have to find a way out of the prison and then off the island. The stakes were high – Alcatraz guards shot those who attempted to escape.
Making Everything
Each of the crew members was assigned a task to ensure that everything would get done. John and Clarence Anglin were to make the dummy heads meant to act as decoys for the guards at night doing their headcount.
The Anglin brothers crafted the masks from soap, toothpaste, toilet paper, and actual human hair (from the Alcatraz barbershop). Although crude, they did the job. Frank Morris set about creating a device to inflate the raft they were going to use.
Digging Tunnels
Alongside the inflatable device and dummy heads, the crew created tools for chiseling through concrete. They did so by stealing spoons from the mess hall and wood from the workshop. Although crude, the tools worked.
For around 3.5 hours every evening, they (quietly) unscrewed the bolts from the vents in their cell and began chipping into the concrete. The work must have been painstakingly slow. However, over time, they were able to create holes big enough to crawl through.
Alcatraz's Walls Were Already Deteriorating
Although it might have seemed like an impossible task, the crew was helped along by the fact that the walls of Alcatraz were already deteriorating in many ways. Being located on an island meant that saltwater came through, and saltwater meant rust.
Showering pipes and kitchen pipes were being eaten away by the salt. Over time, this damage to the pipes spread to the prison walls as well and caused the concrete to loosen up. For the gang that meant easier digging.
Masking the Noise
Someone would have heard all that noise, right? Surprisingly, not. In the early 1960s, there were a variety of prison reforms – one of them being a music hour. During that time, inmates were allowed to listen or play music as much as they wanted. Hence, there was a lot of helpful noise!
On top of that, Frank Morris was a fan of the accordion and loved to play it loudly. That musical cover-up added an extra layer of safety to their nightly digging.
To the Roof
The design of the prison was perfect for a gang of potential escapees. Behind their cells was an unguarded corridor full of pipes that connected the floors. The inmates planned to climb up the pipes all the way to the roof.

Near the roof, however, things got a bit more complicated. A series of large shafts cut off easy access to the roof. Luckily, they were able to find one that wasn't sealed shut – it could be opened with a wrench.
Life Vests and a Raft
Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers finished chipping through the concrete to the unguarded corridor by May 1962. Although the holes were far from spacious, they were the right size for them to fit through.
They turned their attention to gathering raincoats and stitching them together to create life vests and a raft. Remarkably, they were able to gather more than 50 without anyone noticing. The vests and the raft would be essential if they wanted to safely escape the island.
Waiting for Allen
Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers finished digging their holes through the loose cement in May of 1962. However, they decided to wait around for Allen West to finish his – perhaps to ensure that he didn't rat on them.
Whatever the reason, they didn't have to wait that long. In the early part of June 1962, Allen West chiseled a hole big enough for him to crawl through. The crew was finally ready to escape from the legendary Alcatraz.
The Big Night
Would they make it out alive? Historically speaking, escaping Alcatraz was known to be impossible. Plenty of prisoners had tried, and none had escaped successfully. Although it was risky, the group of prisoners thought it was better than spending their lives behind bars.
The dream of living free was just too captivating for them to be overly worried about the risks. So, on the night of June 11th, the crew put the decoys in their bunks, opened up the vents, and crawled through.
The Plan Doesn't Go According to Plan
Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers quickly squeezed through the holes they dug and got to the unguarded corridor. Allen West, however, was having trouble. He assumed the hole he dug was big enough. Unfortunately, it wasn't – he couldn't get through.
Frank Morris spent a while trying to help him out. West was able to pass Morris a glass of water but not much else could get through. They came to the unfortunate conclusion that West had to stay behind.
Leaving West Behind
Although it was a tough decision – considering the four worked together for months – it was a decision that had to be made. Widening the hole would waste too much time, cause too much noise, and increase the risk of guards coming around to check on the cells.
Crestfallen, Allen West moved back to his bunk and pretended to sleep. As he did, the remaining three men grabbed onto the pipes and climbed thirty feet or so until they reached the roof.
Getting to the Shore
The trio managed the climb up without any trouble. Once they were on the roof, the next challenge was to (quietly) scoot across 100 feet or so. After that, the gang grabbed a hold of some piping and scaled-down the prison walls for 50 feet.
This dropped them off near the showers. Since it was guarded, they had to very carefully sneak by them – which they did. The gang made their way down to the shore to get the life vests and raft ready.
The Alarm
Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers made it to the shore without being seen. Although impossible to know, investigators assume it was around 11:30 or so. After inflating the raft, the three escaped prisoners set off into San Francisco Bay. No one knows for sure what happened after that.
It wasn't until the next morning that the prison guards found out what happened – three prisoners escaped! They rang out the sirens to wake everyone up and put the prison on high alert.
Allen West's Second Attempt
Although Allen West was left behind as the three others climbed up the pipes to the roof, he didn't give up so easily. He was determined to widen the hole in his cell until he could make it through.
After a few hours, he was able to squeeze through and climb up to the rooftop. However, by that time, the three others were long gone. To swim in the freezing water would have been a death sentence, so Allen went back to his cell.
West's Cooperation
It must have been a tough decision to make. Allen was out of his cell and on the rooftop, yet too far away to know if the others were still on the island. If he took the risk to find out, he could get caught – or shot.
When the guards came knocking the next morning, West gave them his full cooperation. He said the gang planned to go to Angel Island, steal a car and clothes, and then go their separate ways.
The Investigation Begins
When the officers went to investigate stolen cars on Angel Island, they found that none had been reported in the last twelve days. Although that was the plan for Frank Morris and the Anglin brothers, it didn't seem to work out that way.
Did they even make it to Angel Island? Or did they end up somewhere else? Perhaps they drowned. It was hard to say, but the authorities wanted to investigate each possibility by opening up a formal investigation.
A Freezing Swim
Authorities searched the San Francisco Bay over the next few days. They didn't find any bodies – only some personal belongings. The nightly water temperature around that time, however, hovered around 50 to 54 degrees (by contrast, most swimming pools are in the 70s).
Although not impossible to swim, it was very unlikely. Experts give the average adult around 20 minutes before vital body functions start to fail. The prisoners were used to warmer water in Alcatraz, so they wouldn't fare well in the bay.
The Investigation Officially Ends
The prison escape continued to get investigated. About a month later, a passing boat spotted a body a few miles from the Golden Gate Bridge. Supposedly, the body had the clothing of an Alcatraz prisoner, but when investigators went to look for it, it was never found.
Bettmann/Getty Images
A few more clues came in over the years, but they didn't amount to much. Finally, on December 31, 1979, the FBI decided to officially end its investigation – concluding that the inmates drowned in the freezing bay.
Cards and Photos from the Anglin Brothers
In 2015, The History Channel looked into the unsolved case. It turns out that the Anglin family had received signed Christmas cards over the years. The handwriting was confirmed to be that of John and Clarence, but the delivery date was unknown.
Not only that, but the Anglin brothers also sent a photograph of themselves in Brazil in 1975. This astonishing find passed forensic scrutiny as well – experts determined that it was "more than likely" from John and Clarence Anglin.
Alongside the Christmas cards and family photos, another piece of tantalizing evidence came in the form of a deathbed confession. Robert Anglin, one of the 13 Anglin siblings, claimed that he was in regular contact with John and Clarence from 1963 to 1987.
After 1987, Robert lost contact. The Anglin family was in an odd position in terms of contact. Since the Alcatraz prison escape was still an ongoing investigation, the family didn't want to lead the authorities to their brothers through reestablishing contact or searching for them in Brazil.
Back to the Letter
The 2013 letter from (allegedly) John Anglin continued, "Yes we all made it that night but barely! … I'm 83 years old and in bad shape. I have cancer." Furthermore, Frank Morris apparently died in Argentina in 2008, and Clarence Anglin died in 2011.
According to the letter, John Anglin spent most of his life post-escape in Seattle and North Dakota. Not only that, but he claimed that as of 2013, he was living in southern California! Only a few hours from where he escaped back in the '60s.
Anglin for a Deal
After that bombshell admission, the letter writer continued on by saying that he was in terrible health and needed help. He was willing, if law enforcement was willing to strike a deal if he was guaranteed medical treatment.
If the authorities publicly announced that John Anglin would receive medical treatment and get no more than a year in jail, then he would let them know where he was living so they could arrest him. "This is no joke," he wrote.
Examining the Letter
Before they made any guarantees or public announcements, law enforcement was keen on examining the letter itself to see if it was the real deal. They scrutinized the writing itself and the physical form of the letter to gather all the facts that they could.
Security Today
At the FBI lab, experts meticulously searched the letter for fingerprints and DNA traces. They also compared the handwriting with samples they had from the Anglin brothers and Frank Morris during their time in Alcatraz.
The Results of the Letter Investigation
After all that analysis, the results were anti-climactic, to say the least. KPIX, the San Francisco-based TV station that published the letter, announced to an excited audience that, "the FBI's results were inconclusive" – they didn't have a certain answer.
DeAgostini/Getty Images
In trying to further explain this, a KPIX security expert added that it "means yes, and it means no, so this leaves everything in limbo." This "limbo", however, leaned toward denying its authenticity – the authorities tended to believe the three men died in 1962.
The U.S. Marshal's Position
Shortly after the infamous letter was published in 2018, a representative of The U.S. Marshals Service said they believed the letter wasn't legitimate. Despite that, the Marshals would still follow any leads that came up – at least until the men were 99 years old or proven to be dead.
It wasn't a huge priority for the Marshals, though. The FBI, after 17 years of investigation, failed to find any credible evidence of the men's whereabouts. So, how likely was it to emerge now?
What Would Happen if the Prisoners Were Found?
The U.S. Marshal Service thought it was pretty unlikely that the men survived the frigid waters. However, a team of researchers showed through computer analysis that the water currents around Alcatraz would have been favorable to the men if they left around midnight.

It's hard to say what really happened. Assuming they survived (somehow), the Marshal Service thinks it would be highly unlikely for them to give up their life of crime. So, if the escapees popped up in the future, law enforcement would be there to detain them.
An Alcatraz Guard's Opinion
In March 2018, a local San Francisco TV station was filming a special about Alcatraz. It had been 55 years since the prison was closed, and the station managed to secure an interview with Jim Albright, one of the last prison guards at Alcatraz.
Justin Sullivan/Getty Images
Since Jim was working at Alcatraz during the early 1960s, he was asked about his thoughts on the infamous escape. "I believe they drowned, I really do," he said. The letter, according to Jim, was just someone trying to get medical treatment.
Where the Escapees Would Be Today
Despite all that time and intrigue, the fates of John Anglin, Clarence Anglin, and Frank Morris are still unknown. Did they perish in the cold waters of the bay way back in 1962, or did they successfully inflate the raft and make it out alive?
If we assume the latter, then the three are quite old in today's world. Clarence would be 90, John would be 92, and Frank would be 95. If caught, they would still be responsible for their crimes for another few years.

Five Preah Vihear Community Representatives Released After Questioning over Death Threat Allegations in Long-Standing Land Dispute
About 100 villagers gather to support their representatives who questioned by investigative judge, December 21, 2022. Supplied
Preah Vihear Provincial Court last week questioned five community representatives from Prame commune over allegations that they had issued a death threat to a man who had been clearing contested land in Tbeng Meanchey district. The group was released but remained under court supervision while the investigation continues.
Preah Vihear Provincial Court prosecutor, Ty Sovin Thal, said the investigating judge allowed them to return home and that charges of issuing a death threat and threatening to cause damage could well be dropped.
The judge found, he said, that "they cannot be detained as this is a petty crime, and this leads to the acquittal. Thus, when the investigation is complete, the charges might be dropped."
Lut Sang, a lawyer for the five, said that Ly Kim Sreng had filed a complaint to the court saying he had received death threats after trying to clear land he said he had legally rented and accused the defendants of leading a group of more than 100 villagers to block his tractors in February 2022. Kim Sreng said he had rented the land from Hengfu, a Chinese sugar company that held some 40,000 hectares from 2011 to 2020, when the company pulled out, and which had long faced disputes over their economic land concession.
Community members, many of them members of the Kouy indigenous minority, who have lived on the land for decades, maintain that the land is rightfully theirs and that it holds cultural significance.
While the judge released the group without charges, said Sang, "he imposes two bans, firstly, if they make a change of living place, they must inform the investigating judge. Secondly, in relation to all court issuance, they need to come and clarify,"Lut Sang said.
Sut Savorn, a representative from Bos Thom village who was among the five questioned, denied the allegations but said that community members did try to bar Kim Sreng's tractors. He added that villagers had been living there long before the Hengfu company arrived on the land.
Though the dispute had yet to be resolved, he said, Kim Sreng arrived in early 2022 saying he had rented about 600 hectares of land in Sre Preang village from Hengfu. On February 1, 2022, tractors, along with local authorities, appeared on the land and about 100 villagers arrived to confront them.
"We did not use anything [weapons], just all of us who were crowded at that time just went to stop them from plowing and ask for a solution," Savorn said.
During questioning, said Savorn, the judge asked about his whereabouts in February and whether he used violence. He said the others who were summoned for questioning are Thorng Visot, Thab Sokhey, and Roeung Khann, from Prame village, and Ngon Him, from Sre Preang village.
Kim Sreng filed his complaint in February, and the prosecution charged all five with threatening to kill and threatening to cause damage under Article 233 and 423 of the criminal code. If found guilty of both crimes they could face up to two years and six months in prison.

If a trip to the supermarket doesn't make you sick, you may not be paying attention to prices. Food costs are increasing by leaps and bounds and, we're hearing from those in the know, there's no relief on the horizon.
For some grocery buyers, coupons are the method of choice they use to keep their food costs under control. But that doesn't work for everyone. In fact, it works well for a very small number of people who have the temperament and commitment to couponing as a part-time job.
There's another way to keep food costs down: Use it up.
The average American doesn't eat 20 percent of the food he or she purchases, and every household throws away an average of $2,200 of food each year, according to a report from the National Resources Defense Council, an environmental advocacy group.
With the cost of food soaring, now is a good time to rekindle the fine art of leftovers!
1. New name the second time around. Just saying the word "leftovers" produces a nasty taste in the mouths of many people I know. Members of my own family equate that word with rotten food or something totally disgusting pulled from the back of the refrigerator. So the rule is to never utter the word leftover. Instead, think of anything left over as an ingredient for a future dish with a new name.
2. Store foods safely. Cooked foods should not be allowed to cool to room temperature but should be placed in clean, covered containers and refrigerated immediately after a meal. Partially used foods from cans should preferably be transferred to clean, covered glass or plastic containers rather than being stored in the can. As a general rule of thumb, use perishable foods within two or three days.
3. Develop a system. Keep it secret if you must, but come up with a system for leftovers and then stick with it. Your system must include a means of seeing at a glance which foods need using up. Storing all perishables in see-through containers reminds you of their presence each time you open the refrigerator.
For some, keeping a running list of leftovers on the refrigerator door with dates by which they must be used, helps. Make a daily survey of which foods need to be used. Some people plan the use of leftovers as the food is first prepared.
Menu plans are probably the most foolproof method of making sure a food gets used during its safe-storage time.
4. Make the judgment calls. Decide if the leftover items are really worth using. Most things are, but not everything. If it was bad the first time around, it may be beyond an effective rescue. If it followed you home from a restaurant, will you really take it to lunch tomorrow? Or, if it will require that you spend $10 to incorporate fifty-cents worth of something left over you might want to rethink it.
If throwing out perfectly delicious green salad were a crime, I'd be serving a life sentence. It kills me to do it, but until researching for this column I had no idea there was a second life for fresh green salad, dressed or not. Once tossed, passed and partially consumed, that's it, right? Wrong.
Gazpacho salsa. The idea here is to blend it with V8 Juice to create a thick gazpacho (a cold Spanish/Portuguese tomato-based raw vegetable soup). Add a little hot sauce, and serve with chips for an appetizer. Extend it even further with the addition of red pepper and cucumber.
Salad dressing. Mix the leftover salad in a blender with olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper and some garlic or herb seasonings and you have dressing for your next salad. I tried this and the results were amazing. You have to try it. Just make sure you have your seasonings handy. I added garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Make soup. Here's another idea. Turn that salad into hot vegetable soup: Process the leftover salad in a blender or food processor with 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable stock. Pour into saucepan, stir in another 1/2 cup stock or the amount needed to create a nice consistency. Heat thoroughly and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve garnished with sour cream and a sprinkling of chopped fresh herbs like basil, chives or parsley.
Add to soup. Ina Garten, popular TV cook, blends it all together and adds it to her hot soups. The greens and vinegar add great flavor to the soups. Make sure you adjust the seasonings, suggests Ina. And a dash of cream to finish can't hurt, either.
