The voyage of the Friends
The voyage of the Friends from England to New South Wales in 1811 was its only run as a convict transport. It was one of two ships contracted by a London shipping agent to carry convicts to Sydney at the beginning of 1811; the other was the Admiral Gambier. The Friends carried only women convicts; the Admiral Gambier took a male shipment.
The Friends was a three-masted, square-sailed ship of only 339 tons – two-thirds the size of the Admiral Gambier. Two years earlier, in the midst of the Napoleonic War, the then 11-year old ship had been repaired and equipped with new topsides and 14 guns. At the time, James Ralph also took over as master of the vessel.
The Friends was refitted again for its voyage to Sydney to turn its 'tween deck into a prison deck. There were 101 women convicts on board and at least 15 children accompanied them. There were also a number of paying passengers, who included several families with children. Since it was a female transport there were no guards on board, unlike the Admiral Gambier which carried a regiment of soldiers who were en route to duty in New South Wales and who acted as guards for the voyage.
The Friends set sail from Galleons Reach on the River Thames, near Woolwich, on 9 March 1811. It finally left English shores from Portsmouth on 8 April.
The Friends sailed through the east Atlantic, then across to the coastline of South America to Rio de Janeiro. It was a slow voyage – the vessel was caught in the doldrums – and it took three months to reach Rio in the middle of July. The Friends remained in port for two weeks restocking water and food supplies and set sail again on 28 July.
The Friends headed down through the South Atlantic and after a voyage of six months, it weighed anchor in Sydney Cove on 10 October 1811. It had just made the third fastest direct passage yet from Rio of 72 days.
The story of the Friends' voyage is told in more detail in The Girl Who Stole Stockings.

By now you know that I'm a life-long lover of rock music—even worked in the radio or music business for 20 years. It's never very far away. There's almost always a song playing in my head. It's a gift and a curse. I live to my own little soundtrack.
Maybe you do too, sometimes. Songs can take us right back to our times and places, to the people we love—to the good, the bad, and yes, the ugly too.
Songs and real rock stars used to speak truth to power. They used to speak into our culture, into our lives, and into our issues holding a mirror up to us. They helped us see ourselves. And music flows out of us in all ways if we're just listening.
Listen to the voices. Listen to the stories. Listen for the tension between fear and courage. Listen to the music of the stories, even as you may hear them in a justice or political key.
While I was away on vacation, Dave Loth preached on the story of Esther. Go read the book—it won't take long. It's in the Old Testament. Open any Bible right at the middle and chances are pretty good you'll land in the Psalms (a songbook of music). Flip backwards a few pages beyond Job and you will find the story of Ester.
Listen to her music. It's the story of a young, orphaned woman who finds her voice. Ester speaks truth to power in a place and time where women had virtually nothing. No standing. No cred. Nothing. She saves an entire nation! And the holiday of Purim is to keep her memory alive. To keep her music alive.
I've been watching this docu-drama on the Monica Lewinsky scandal. I've been reading about her, listening to podcasts with her, and watching other documentaries on shaming. Her life was nearly destroyed by it.
I'm listening to her music. Her story is amazing and fascinating and heartbreaking. She has overcome. She has found her footing. She has found her voice. And she's making music.
She's another voice in the chorus of today's women in #MeToo, #TimesUp, #EnoughisEnough. They're hearing a drumbeat—a rhythm of freedom and empowerment to share their song, to share their pain, to keep time together. There's safety in numbers. There's power in numbers. There's power in the music.
It's a heartbreaking song.
Listen to the music.
I read a poem some time ago in Richard Rohr's devotional (Google is your friend here) in a piece that wasn't really to do with this. But I hear it in my head. I keep hearing its music.
In Exodus, Moses asks God "Who shall I tell the people who sent me? What's your name?" God's answer: "I AM WHO I AM…you shall say, I AM has sent me."
The great I AM.
So, this poem is inspired by this power of God in us—the I AM in each one of us. The I AM that gives us our music.
a hole in a flute
that the Christ's breath moves through--
music.*
This poem sings to me in a major key in the midst of so many—too many—heartbreaking songs that make me angry. But it's empowering, it's emboldening, it's encouraging.
Listen for the beat in the tension between fear and courage.
Be the music.
*Daniel Ladinsky, inspired by Hafiz, "The Christ's Breath," Love Poems from God: Twelve Sacred Voices from the East and West (Penguin Compass: 2002)
Cheryl Slegers
This sang loudly to me... there is music in everything and everyone.... the rhythms, pitches, lyrics, harmonies, dissonance, silences🎶what a wonderful poem you shared... thank you🙏

San Francisco Rent Drops Most On Record
Image via Jack Finnigan on Unsplash
Plenty has been written about the rise of remote work and subsequently, the effect it may have on driving people away from cities to less expensive locations.
As a result of the coronavirus, companies are increasingly warming to the idea of remote work becoming a permanent aspect of employment. Twitter notified its employees they can work from home permanently if they wish to, while Facebook said it sees a future where its employees will be predominantly working remotely.
With the movement to remote work being led by technology companies, it's not surprising that San Francisco real estate is starting to show signs of weakness.
Apartment rental platform Zumper released data showing that rents in San Francisco declined by 11.8% in June from the same period a year earlier. The nearly 12% decline was the worst in the U.S. and marks a new record decline for San Francisco.
The median rental price for a one-bedroom apartment in San Francisco dropped to $3,280 from $3,720 last June. June's decline is worse than May's year-over-year decline of 9%, which was also a record decline at the time.
"Zumper has been tracking rent prices across the country for over five years but we have never seen the market fluctuate quite like this," Zumper co-founder and CEO Anthemos Georgiades said. "For example, rent prices in San Francisco have historically only gone up and typically only incrementally, yet now we are seeing double-digit percent rent reductions. This is unprecedented for this generation of renters."
Georgiades explicitly referenced the moves by technology companies to support remote work as a reason for San Francisco's declining rent prices.
"The very real move of many mainly technology employers to a future of remote work, meaning millions of employees now looking outside of dense metropolitan areas for their next home now that their commute time is no longer a factor," Georgiades said.
Declining rent prices don't appear to be taking place across the U.S., as Zumper's survey showed one- and two-bedroom rent prices rose 1% and 0.8%, respectively, in June.
Calling it the "Brooklyn Effect," Zumper also noted rent prices are increasing in cities within proximity to major cities that are seeing rent prices decline. For example, the median rent in Sacramento—which is about a 90 minute drive from San Francisco, is now up 7.9% on an annual basis.
Schery Bokhari, an economist at Redfin, also acknowledged the trend that is taking place.
"The jump in inventory in San Francisco may indicate less desire for homes in the expensive urban center as buyers envision a permanent shift towards remote work and seek out larger homes and affordability further from the city," Bokhari said.
With the rise of remote work seemingly inevitable at this point, this trend should continue in San Francisco as well as other major cities in the years to come.
Mortgage strength slowing. Mortgage applications to purchase a home fell 1% last week, marking the second-consecutive weekly decline, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association's seasonally adjusted index. Demand still remains 15% higher than the same period a year earlier. Mortgage refinances fell 2% last week and now sit 74% higher than the same period a year earlier. "The weakening in activity is potentially a signal that pent-up demand is starting to wane and that low housing supply is limiting prospective buyers' options," MBA economist Joel Kan said.
ADP makes a big revision. Private payrolls increased by 2.369 million last month, according to according to ADP. ADP also revised its total for May from a loss of 2.76 million to a gain of 3.065 million without explicitly detailing why they made the revision. "Small business hiring picked up in the month of June," co-head of the ADP Research Institute Ahu Yildirmaz said. "As the economy slowly continues to recover, we are seeing a significant rebound in industries that once experienced the greatest job losses."
Most valuable carmaker secured. Tesla overtook Toyota to become the world's most valuable automaker yesterday as its market capitalization hit $205 billion. Shares of Tesla are now up about 50% since CEO Elon Musk tweeted "Tesla stock price is too high imo." With shares of Tesla now more than $1,000 per share, Musk replied to a tweet saying "Any thoughts on Stock Split so that more fans can become investors??? How about say Smiling face with open mouth $420 - entry !!!!" with "Worth discussing at annual shareholders meeting."
NPC International files for bankruptcy. NPC International, the largest U.S. franchisee of Pizza Hut, has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. NPC International operates more than 1,200 Pizza Hut locations as well as more than 400 Wendy's locations. The company will continue to operate its locations after pre-negotiating a restructuring plan with most of its lenders before filing. "While NPC's Chapter 11 filing was expected, we view it as an opportunity to create a better future for NPC's Pizza Hut restaurants," a Pizza Hut spokesperson said.
Authorities search VW, Continental. Prosecutors in Hanover, Germany have searched the offices of Volkswagen and Continental as the diesel emissions probe continues. A spokesperson for Hanover's prosecutors office said locations in Hanover, Regensburg, Wolfsburg, Gifhorn, Berlin, Frankfurt and Nuernberg were searched by 76 police and 4 prosecutors. "We are investigating employees of Continental for abetting fraud and for providing false documentation," Prosecutor Oliver Eisenhauer told Reuters.

Q: Regex expression for masking email id with unidentifiable Need a regex expression to create unidentifiable email address with masking, conditions like

*

*If user name (before @) is less than 8 character then make the length to 8 with star (*)

*Show only first 3 characters, rest mask using start (*)

*If user name less than 3 character, show 1st character and make length to 8 with star(*)

e.g.
test123456789@gmail.com -> tes**********@gmail.com
test1@gmail.com -> tes*****@gmail.com // make length to 8
tes@gmail.com -> t*******@gmail.com // make length to 8

can someone suggest the regular expression for the above

A: I think regex is a bit overkill for this type of problem, here is a solution I quickly came up with that just splits the string and checks the username length.
func mask(email: String) -> String? {
    let components = email.components(separatedBy: "@")

    guard components.count == 2 else { return nil }

    let username = components[0]

    guard !username.isEmpty else { return nil }

    let maskedUsername: String

    if username.count <= 3 {
        maskedUsername = "\(username[username.startIndex])\(String(repeating: "*", count: 7))"
    } else if username.count <= 8 {
        maskedUsername = "\(username.prefix(3))\(String(repeating: "*", count: 5))"
    } else {
        maskedUsername = "\(username.prefix(3))\(String(repeating: "*", count: username.count - 3))"
    }

    return "\(maskedUsername)@\(components[1])"
}

"He was wrong. Turns out, I'm a hero after all."
—Eddie Thawne's last words to Iris West after sacrificing himself[src]
Eddie Thawne (died May 19, 2015) was a police detective of the Keystone City Police Department until he transferred to Central City Police Department. He was the partner of Joe West, the fiancé of Iris West, a good friend of Barry Allen and an ancestor of Eobard Thawne. Nicknamed "Detective Pretty Boy" by Joe, he was one of the first police officers in the CCPD to learn of the existence of meta-humans - second only to Joe - and eventually learned of Barry's secret identity as the Flash. Learning he would be Eobard's ancestor, Eddie would later sacrifice himself to erase the Reverse-Flash's existence, saving his friends' lives and preventing any further harm to Central City and to time itself.
Eddie Thawne was short and overweight as a child, and was frequently picked on by bullies as a result. The taunts often turned into physical violence, and he suffered many beatings at the hands of his tormentors, getting his "ass kicked, a lot". Eddie's bullying problem worsened when his father, a senator, was responsible for a factory's closure which many people depended on. The bullying continued to escalate until his sympathetic gym coach trained him to fight back. Eddie also found it difficult to make friends.[1][2]
Service with C.C.P.D.
At some point, Eddie became a police detective with the Keystone City Police Department. In late 2013, Eddie transferred from Keystone City to the Central City Police Department. On December 11, the night of the unveiling of the S.T.A.R. Labs particle accelerator, Eddie was to meet Katie Rogers, a dancer, at Mama Chow's Fine Dining for a dinner date, which he was really excited about. However, Katie canceled at the last minute due to an injury so Eddie dined by himself. After dinner, Eddie ended up stopping a thief who had stolen Iris West's laptop and brought the perpetrator to the CCPD.[3] Sometime after Detective Fred Chyre was killed, Eddie became Joe West's new partner and begun dating Iris in secret.[4]
9 months later, Eddie happily greeted CSI Barry Allen, who had just awoken from a coma, before he and Joe left to investigate a robbery at Gold City Bank. They brought back various witnesses to the station, questioning the witnesses on the circumstances surrounding the bank robbery. He discussed with Joe how the robbery had a freak storm proceeding it, a seemingly frequent occurrence, similar to the "wide world of weird" cased that Barry loved investigating. They went on to question numerous witnesses, along with viewing footage they'd recorded on their cell phones. Following work, Eddie later went out to meet Iris at his girlfriend's work, where they exchanged a kiss and talked a little, before Iris went to talk with Barry. Not long after, Eddie and a number of other police officers arrived at the crime scene that Barry and Iris had been associated with. Eddie showed Joe the sketch artist's illustration from a suspect, which appeared to be the apparently deceased criminal Clyde Mardon. Suspicious that he could've survived, the two went to Mardon's old farmhouse, where they found the criminal. However, before they could arrest, Mardon knocked Eddie and Joe away with wind and began to create a tornado around himself, proceeding to move it outside. Joe carried Eddie's unconscious body outside by their car while they were powerless against Clyde. As a piece of debris flew through the air, it almost hit them, however it was intercepted by Barry's super speed, saving them from danger by ultimately unravelling the tornado and Joe shooting Mardon.[4]
Detective West received a call that there was a situation at the Central City National Bank. By the time that they arrived there, both the strongman and The Steak had left.[5] Iris met him at the crime scene, having been promised fro-yo. He reassured another cop that there was nothing between Barry and Iris, as they were like siblings, and Barry wasn't even Iris's type. When he finished, Eddie took Iris to get fro-yo. On the way there, the two were involved in a crash with multiple vehicles. They were uninjured, however as they got out, a tiger, the cause of the crash, pounced towards Iris.[6] Eddie tried to nudge them away with pool toys, though they had little effect. However, The Steak intervened, zapping them away with static electricity, leaving Eddie to think that he'd done all of the work. When animal control arrived, the man commended Thawne for being able to do what he did, and Eddie mocked Barry for allegedly hiding and seemingly soiling himself. They reached the police department, where Eddie bragged about his achievement, only to soon be sent back out to a homicide. They concurred that the homicide was connected to the zoo outbreak, and started to look through the deeds of several companies scattered all over the floor.[7] A short while later, Eddie and Iris attended a sports game. At half-time, Eddie labelled the surprise of a circus as "crappy", to which Iris simply mocked him, asking if he was afraid of the circus.[8] Eddie attempted to go get some extra beer, though Iris made him stay to watch, kissing as he sat back down. Mr. Bliss soon struck fear in to everyone, causing Eddie to hallucinate seeing himself pointing a gun, apparently a past traumatic experience.[9] However, Eddie, along with the rest of the crowd, was rushed outside of the stadium, claiming to have a raging headache. He attempted to keep everyone calm by announcing that he was police.[10]
Eddie was present with various other police members at the scene of a robbery. He downloaded surveillance footage, of which only showed one perpetrator. However, Barry found evidence leading to the idea that it was in fact six people. After unintentionally implying that Captain Singh could have been a suspect due to similar shoe size, Eddie walked off in embarrassment to survey the rest of the crime scene. Eddie later came to visit Iris in Barry's lab. While they immediately acted distant, Barry reminded them that he knew of their situation and they proceeded to kiss. A while later, Eddie and Joe visited Simon Stagg after having been shot at only a day before. They asked questions about former employee Danton Black, though Stagg denied that it would ever be Black. As Simon walked away, Danton and masked clones began shooting at the three of them, forcing them to run for cover. When the coast was almost clear, Eddie took Stagg to safety. That night, Eddie visited Iris at his girlfriend's work. There they watched an interview with him on TV, and soon after he left for the police department to help with the hunt for Black.[11]
Eddie arrived on to the scene of the murders of the Darbinyan crime family. He suggested the idea that they were gassed to death, though witnesses had allegedly seen no one outside at the time, therefore concluding that it had happened from the inside. Joe went on to determine that there had to be a canister of sorts somewhere, though Barry was sure that the gas could've had a mind of its own. Though Barry appeared to treat it as a joke, Joe's interest was peaked and so sent Eddie off to canvas the area again. Sometime later, Eddie came to visit Iris, under the impression that Joe had gone out. Eddie claimed to have been looking for Joe and suggested that they go back to the crime scene to re-canvass, to "always work the case", as Joe had proudly taught him. While Joe went to wait in the car, Eddie pretended to go to the toilet while he actually kissed Iris, getting annoyed that the secrecy, all Iris's idea, was potentially killing their relationship. Following their encounter, Iris met Eddie at the police precinct, claiming they needed to talk. Although Eddie initially mistook it for Iris breaking up with him, Iris explained that she was simply afraid of losing her first serious boyfriend. Before Eddie could walk off, still under the impression that Iris was breaking up with him, Iris pulled him back, kissing him in full public view. That night, Eddie was called by Barry whom he told Joe's location to: Iron Heights Prison, visiting Henry Allen. After Joe was hospitalized, Eddie and Iris finally decided to tell the truth of their relationship. However, putting it down to his detective skills, Joe admitted that he was already fully aware. Despite being angry, Joe promising to try the hardest not to shoot Eddie.[12]
After Leonard Snart made an attempt to rob the Kahndaq dynasty diamond, Eddie along with Joe arrived at the scene. Eddie questioned how the driver who was shot made it to St. Andrews Hospital. Eddie later revealed Iris had previously talked him into going to the Khandaq Dynasty diamond exhibit. Eddie later told Joe that he's serious about Iris and he could see himself married to Iris. Eddie and Joe then furthered their conversation about Iris to which Eddie said they should just listen to the radio though it only made things more awkward between the two. Eddie later went to Trivia Night at CC Jitters with Iris, Barry, and Felicity Smoak. When Eddie saw Felicity's dress, he suggested that Iris buy the same dress. Eddie later incorrectly answered the name of Han Solo's ship after being over excited. At the Central City train station chasing Snart, Eddie was told by Joe to stay back and wait for back up but Eddie later reminded Joe that they're partners so he doesn't take orders.[13]
Barry held a social get together which included Eddie, Iris, Cisco Ramon and Dr. Caitlin Snow where Caitlin also expressed attraction to Eddie yet Cisco expressed distrust in him, mainly out of jealousy. Later Eddie, Joe and Barry investigated a bombing at an office building though were unable to find what was stolen. Eddie later witnessed Joe being forced to hand over the instigation to General Eiling on Singh's orders.[14]
While Tony Woodward was being chased by police, Eddie shot Tony in the head multiple times though he was shocked when none of them penetrated Woodward. Eddie was then nearly ran over by Woodward though Joe pushed him out of the way. When Eddie told Barry about what happened with Tony, Barry told him Tony must've had some body armor where Eddie reminded he shot Woodward in the face. When Iris came to visit, he noticed something was wrong between Barry and Iris. While investigating, Eddie admitted that he was intimidated by Barry at first, admitting that Barry is a good guy and how close the two were. Eddie later realized Tony came from Rusty Iron Ale Brewing Co.. After asking the workers about Woodward, one of them fled where Eddie and Barry chased the man down. After Barry ran in front, Eddie tackled the man and asked what happened to Tony. Eddie later asked Barry how he managed to get in front of them. At the precinct, Eddie and Barry blew off some steam together where Eddie was shocked when Barry punched through the punching bag. When Iris was kidnapped by Tony, Eddie stayed as calm as he could but very shacked up.[1]
Eddie and Joe visited a crime scene with Barry, where the victim was burnt to a crisp by electricity with nothing else affected, despite numerous combustible objects nearby and no electrical objects around. Later Iris visited Eddie at the precinct by it was held up by William Tockman who took Iris, Joe and every cop hostage but Eddie managed to stay hidden. As Tockman attempted to get Singh to give him a helicopter, Eddie attacked him, only to be shot. Tockman took Iris as leverage, though Joe managed to convince Tockman to let her say goodbye to Eddie. As they kissed, Eddie took the opportunity to tell Iris where his spare gun was located, which she used to defeat Tockman. Afterwards, Eddie was taken to the hospital and soon recovered.[15]
After Iris spent the night with him in his apartment, Eddie was disbelieved when Iris brought The Flash up, and went to a crime scene where all the people in the back tried to murder each other and Eddie comforted one of the people. Eddie began to notice all the strange occurrences in Central City and believed the Flash to be responsible and asked Singh to organize a taskforce to capture the Flash though he disbelieved him and Iris became mad at him for hating the Flash. Later when Eddie and Iris were driving back to his apartment, they began to fight about the Flash and Iris confessed to having met the Flash a few times which Eddie felt outraged about, but the Flash himself abruptly took Eddie from the car and started beating him down in the street (as the Flash was manipulated at the time by the Rainbow Raider). However, the Arrow arrived and fought the Flash which allowed Eddie and Iris to escape. Eddie later visited Iris to say that Singh approved the taskforce and he vowed to take the speedster in which his girlfriend now supported.[16]
After seeing Iris's Christmas present from Barry, Iris's mother's wedding ring, Eddie suspected Barry harbored feelings for Iris though Iris denied it as Eddie gave Iris a present himself; a key to his apartment to move in with him which Iris accepted. Eddie later investigated a murder and thieving at Mercury Labs and he suspected the Flash's involvement due to the sighting of a blur. Eddie and Joe later went to S.T.A.R. Labs where Dr. Harrison Wells, Cisco and Caitlin set a trap for the attacker but found the Reverse-Flash instead of the Flash. After Reverse-Flash escaped and severely beat Wells, Reverse-Flash attacked and killed Eddie's taskforce but let Eddie live before the Flash himself attacked Reverse-Flash. Eddie later wondered why Reverse-Flash let him live and Joe confessed to the existence of meta-humans, like the Flash and this counter, and told Eddie that their existence needed to be kept secret. At the West house, Eddie, Joe, Iris, Barry, Cisco and Caitlin celebrated Christmas.[17]
Following Joe's revelation regarding Meta-humans and The Flash saving his life on numerous occasions, Eddie has come to see The Flash as a hero rather than a vigilante.
Eddie punched Barry after confessing feelings to Iris but later apologized after Caitlin covered for Barry saying that was a side effect of the lightning strike and is receiving treatment at S.T.A.R. Labs for "Lightning Psychosis".[2]
With Joe's support, Barry reveals himself as the Flash to Eddie in an effort to convince him to help protect Iris from investigating Mason Bridge's disappearance as Barry and Joe did not want Iris to get too close to their suspect for Iris's safety as Reverse-Flash murdered Bridge and subsequently hid Bridge's corpse. Eddie later lies to Iris, suggesting that Mason had run away to Brazil about a liaison with a mysterious woman. When discussing their story with Joe and Barry, Eddie makes it clear that he has doubts in regards to keeping Iris in the dark for her own safety but decides to argue about it another time. He listens to Barry's suspicions that Wells is Reverse-Flash.[18]
While having the Flash assist his arrests makes his job in apprehending criminals easier, Eddie struggles to keep Barry's secret with Iris, believing Iris deserved to know, but Joe told him to keep it from Iris. This strained their relationship, as Iris didn't think Eddie should hide anything. While eating at a restaurant with Iris, Barry, Ray Palmer and Felicity, Iris berated Eddie for hiding a secret and stops living with him for a little bit.[19]
Barry and Eddie later tracked down the meta-human Hannibal Bates that could shape-shift into anyone after coming into contact with. Hannibal framed Eddie by impersonating him and shooting two cops. Despite Barry taking Eddie out of prison due seeing this as similar to Henry, Eddie convinces Barry to return him back to custody. Thankfully, the Flash defeated Hannibal and the video evidence proved Eddie's innocence. Eddie told Iris that his secret is that he was working with the Flash and they started to rekindle their relationship.[20]
When the team neared their plan to capture Wells, Eddie planned to propose to Iris. He asked for Joe's blessing but Joe refused to give it. He later goes over to the bridge with his girlfriend. But just as he is about to propose to Iris, Eddie is knocked by Reverse-Flash. Before Reverse-Flash could kill Iris, the Flash arrived and Reverse-Flash kidnapped Eddie. Reverse-Flash revealed himself to be Eobard Thawne, Eddie's descendant from the future.[21]
Though imprisoned, Eddie confidently believed that Eobard would fail against Team Flash. Eobard revealed Eddie's fate in the future: Eddie would go down as the most forgettable individual in their family lineage due to his uneventful life as a detective. Eddie is also devastated when Eobard reveals that Iris will marry Barry in the future instead of him. Eobard revealed to Eddie his plan to return to the future.[22]
When Eobard activated the particle accelerator, the team found Eddie trapped and managed to free him. Disillusioned from his time with Eobard, Eddie is confronted by Iris about his proposal, he revealed that Iris marries Barry in the future and left. Despite Iris's unwillingness to accept the future, Eddie chose to break up with Iris, knowing that his love interest always loved Barry all along.[23]
Though the group finally managed to capture the Reverse-Flash with the help of the Arrow and Firestorm, Eddie fell into a period of depression, and remained painfully aware of everything that his descendent had revealed to him about the future. In an attempt to comfort him, Martin Stein theorized that Eddie was an anomaly in time, describing him as a "coincidence" and capable of choosing his own future. Remembering how he met Iris, this encouraged Eddie to disregard his belief in destiny and repair his relationship with Iris, saying "screw the future".
Eddie would watch when Barry returned after not undoing Nora Allen's death and destroying Eobard's time vehicle, resulting in the two speedsters fighting in the Pipeline. As Reverse-Flash gets the upper hand and threatened to kill all of Barry's loved ones before striking a finishing blow, Eddie shot himself in the chest, aware that his own death would prevent Eobard from having ever been born. Eddie found comfort that he would die a hero, and soon passed away in Iris's arms as Eobard gets erased from existence. But his actions' effects on the timeline caused a singularity to form that threatened to destroy the world. The wormhole managed to engulf Eddie's body before Barry and Firestorm were able to avert the disaster.[3][24]
Erased future
At some point, Eddie conceived a son with an unknown woman, though his role in their progeny's upbringing is unclear. He lived an apparently uneventful life in law enforcement.[22]
Original timeline
Eddie's life apparently had very minimal historical significance and was the only member of his own family who had virtually no record of unlike his descendants which comprised of successful scientists, politicians and captains of industry. However, Eobard knew of Eddie's existence and considered Eddie a failure of within their family.[22]
Current timeline
Eddie's suicide apparently prevented any further damage to the timeline and effectively saving the future from his demented descendent's wrath. Barry, Iris and Joe were left to grieve for Eddie in secret, painfully aware that the world could never learn of his sacrifice.
The deaths of both Eddie and Ronnie Raymond caused Barry to work alone for a period of six months in an attempt to prevent anyone else from getting hurt, as Barry blamed himself for both Eddie and Ronnie getting killed; Barry regarded both individuals as the true heroes who stopped Eobard and saved Central City. When Barry experienced a mid-day vision of defeating Captain Cold and Heat Wave with Firestorm's help, Eddie's amongst everyone praising the Flash's efforts after this skirmish. Eddie's photo was displayed on CCPD's wall for fallen officers as a memorial.[24]
Eddie's death also caused Iris to hold herself back from finding someone else. After Barry had traveled back in time and saw Eddie again, Barry had Eddie leave a message for Iris. This message was later brought to Iris who happily cried upon hearing the message and helped Iris move on from him.[25]
When Eobard is pulled out of the timeline, Eobard knew of Eddie's death and wanted to undo this paradox and being targeted by the Black Flash with the Spear of Destiny.[26][27]
When Barry goes into the Speed Force for Wally West's rescue, the Speed Force appears as Eddie to have a heart-to-heart talk with Barry about sacrifice.[28]
When Barry discovers that Savitar is a time remnant from the future, Barry contemplated suicide before Savitar pointed out that Eddie's suicide didn't nullify Eobard's existence.[29]
As Ralph Dibny plays catch up with Team Flash's exploits, Ralph wonders why didn't Eddie just have a vasectomy to nullify Eobard's existence.[30]
"What are the odds that Dr. Wells would travel back in time and get stuck in the exact same city as his great-great-great-great grandfather? Working in the same profession, the same building? And that part of his plan to get home would mean that he'd have to preserve and protect your life. That makes you this rare thing that no scientist can plan for."
"Coincidence. There is no science to coincidence. You, sir, are an anomaly. A wild card, as it were. You are the only person in this whole story who gets to choose his own future."
—Martin Stein and Eddie Thawne[src]
Eddie was described as a "pretty boy" who actually kept track of his arrests, had a certain wit and appeared to be cocky yet was a very efficient cop, who went to any lengths to catch the criminals. He does have a caring side, as he covered Joe's shifts so he could visit Barry, and was often the first one to comfort the witnesses of the various crimes he and Joe looked into. He also disbelieves in the Flash's existence (at first) and thinks anyone who did was a drug user. But when he "converts" he becomes distrusting of the Flash, especially after he tries to murder him under Roy Bivolo's influence, and wants him taken down. However, since his near-death experience at the hands of his evil counterpart, Reverse-Flash, he seems to have changed his mind. He later saved the Flash when he was pinned down, evidencing that he sees him as a hero instead of a threat.
Eddie was proven to care for Iris a lot, as he kept their relationship from Joe a secret at her insistence, which, though it annoyed him, he did for 9 months until she was ready to admit it, Eddie was also reasonable, as some dates with Iris have involved places which Eddie isn't too interested in yet goes for Iris. Eddie's working relationship with Joe was fairly stable, as they are both excellent cops who trust each other with their lives. Yet Iris' relationship with Eddie sometimes makes Joe wary. Eddie has a stable friendship with Barry, though the latter isn't entirely trusting of Eddie, mainly out of envy that he was dating Iris, but was surprised to hear that Eddie felt threatened by him when they met. After a year of dating, Eddie was brave enough to ask Iris to move in with him yet suspected that Barry may harbor feelings for Iris though she denied it.
Eddie was proven to be loyal to Joe and very sharp, when questioning Joe's resolve to investigate Eobard Thawne, only to have Joe be determined to do so, Eddie smiled, seemingly thrilled to help Joe, most likely because he knew inconsistencies with Eobard's story of his home being attacked, he was also proven to be to care about people as he tried to talk a man out of committing suicide. He was also proven to have a laid back personality when the man asked if he would let him get back on top of the building after the Flash put him safely on the bottom only for Eddie to reply no in a comical manner.
Upon discovering that Barry is also the Flash and Eobard is Reverse-Flash, Eddie aids Joe and Barry in stopping Iris from finding out that Mason Bridge was killed by Eobard as this knowledge would have put her life in danger. He was reluctant to do so as he did not like lying to her and his dishonesty put a massive strain on their relationship.
After being captured by Eobard, he was horrified to discover that Eobard is actually his descendant from the future; he realizes that this was why Eobard did not kill him in their first encounter, Eddie was pained to learn from Eobard that Iris would become Barry's wife in the future instead of his and so breaks up with Iris, partly influenced by his knowledge of future events but mainly because there was a part of him that suspected Iris of having romantic feelings for Barry. He did not want to be in a relationship or to marry someone who had romantic feelings for another, however, this decision was not lasting as he later reconciled with Iris, believing that he would not let fate control his decisions.
Eddie was amazingly brave and selfless; as he willingly committed suicide to prevent Eobard from causing any further harm in the present and future, and in order to save Barry, Iris, Joe and Team Flash from his evil descendant.
High-level intellect/Expert detective: As a police detective of the Central City Police Department (formerly of the Keystone City Police Department) Eddie continuously proved himself a highly trained detective.

Eddie is right-handed.[20]
Eddie shares certain traits with Tommy Merlyn:
Both characters are related to a major antagonist, Malcolm Merlyn and Eobard Thawne, respectively, and their surnames are the same as those villains.
Both Eddie and Tommy were also mistaken for Eobard and Malcolm by some fans respectively early on in the series, until the latter two made their official debuts/revealed their secret identities.
Both debuted in the first season of their respective shows, and subsequently died by the end of the same season.
Both died protecting their loved ones. Tommy died saving Laurel Lance from the collapsing CNRI building while Eddie killed himself to protect Iris and his friends from the Reverse-Flash.
Both characters have villainous counterparts in the comics.
Tommy facilitated a love-triangle between himself, Laurel and Oliver Queen, while Eddie formed a love-triangle between himself, Iris and Barry Allen.
Both characters were considered as being failures by their respective close relatives. Malcolm cut Tommy out off the family fortune and subsequently hired Tommy in order to put his son's life in order. On the other hand, Eobard merely split Eddie apart from Iris only to ensure that Eddie begins a long blood-line of brilliant men of science, which included Eobard.
Both characters' deaths prompted the main characters, Oliver and Barry, to change their methods of vigilantism.
Both characters have appeared sporadically in the subsequent seasons of their respective shows, where they haunt the main character but also inspire them.
Eddie is the first member of the main cast of The Flash to have died.
Eddie does not appear in the Legion of Doom's reality. It would seem that either Eobard created a reality where his ancestor isn't needed to exist, forgot to restore him, or did restore him but the Speed Force is aware that this is how things shouldn't be. This is referenced by the fact that the Black Flash is still chasing after Eobard, and shouldn't be if Eddie were to exist.
Ultimately, while he saved his friends by committing suicide to erase Eobard in 2015, his evil speedster descendant reappeared alive and well through unexplained means in 2017 as an ally of a Nazi ruled Earth-X and yet again fought Barry before escaping. It is unknown if how Eobard returned is because Eddie is alive again, perhaps because of Flashpoint changes, or some other means.
Eddie's name was likely a red herring for viewers that knew of Eobard Thawne before Eobard revealed himself and mentioned Eddie as a distant relative.
Eddie also shares his name with another Reverse-Flash, The Rival (Edward Clariss), Jay Garrick's archenemy in the comic books.
In the comics, the modern-day Thawne who lived in the present day is Malcolm Thawne, Barry Allen's long-lost twin brother, and possessor of a talisman that give him super speed, among other powers.
While his body was being sucked into the singularity, Eddie was shown to be wearing the a blue object around his neck, and was being dragged inside with several pieces of cobalt resin from a time machine. This may be a nod to Malcolm having worn the talisman around his neck, a gift from his grandmother, possibly indicating that Eddie could return as Cobalt Blue. Eddie also acquired his engagement ring from his grandmother, further reinforcing the similarities.

Lena Dunham Complains: I Get 'More Hostility' from Left Than Right Over Backing Hillary for President
March 24th, 2016 10:43 AM
Poor little Lena Dunham. It looks like she's getting a taste of her own medicine. After constantly berating Republicans – even comparing them to Nazis – Dunham is claiming she receives "more hostility" for backing Hillary Clinton than she has ever received from conservatives.
"I have received more hostility for voting for a qualified female candidate than I have ever received anywhere from the American right wing…The fact that other members of the Democratic Party have spoken to me like I was an ill informed child for voting for someone who represents everything I think this country should be is outrageous."
Dunham told Variety magazine that the final tipping point was when a Sanders supporter commented on a Clinton campaign picture on her Instagram account that, "Bernie Sanders has done more for feminism than Hillary Clinton has." Considering everything we know about Hillary's groping, sexually harassing husband, that commenter has a point.
Dunham, along with Chelsea Clinton and Latino activist/actress America Ferrera, attended a "rare non-fundraising event" for Hillary this past Sunday when these comments were made.
Ferrera tried to shoot down the narrative that young women weren't inspired by Clinton and pointed to the slow and steady progress Clinton has made on several issues: "…I am fully aware that the words slow and steady are not exciting…"Especially in contrast to those calling for a revolution in this country. But many of us fled countries where dismantled systems made room for tyranny and violence. And so I would say, we don't need a revolution in this country. We need an evolution in this country."
All three women cited differences between Clinton and Sanders – warning that the stakes are too high to focus on a "single issue" and listed Supreme Court Justice Scalia's death and vacancy on the Supreme Court, gun control, voting rights and of course – abortion – as the issues most important to them.

Apple Watch, other wearables come to Livongo's health-tracking service
Livongo, a company offering health-tracking services to companies like Amazon and Walgreens, said on Wednesday that it's integrating support for the Apple Watch and similar wearables by Fitbit and Samsung.
The Livongo app will soon give Watch owners personalized notifications, targeted at their specific conditions, CNBC reported. A diabetic, for example, might get a prompt to take a blood sugar reading before breakfast, or recommendations to swap out certain foods.
Livongo said it's aiming to avoid "alert fatigue" but still catch people's attention. One tactic involves five-day challenges, similar to the seven-day Activity challenges offered by watchOS. In the long term the company is hoping to monitor trends and determine what behavioral changes will be the most likely to help.
The firm is relatively new to the industry, having started in 2014 with a focus on diabetes and specialized technology, such as connected glucose meters. It now has some 164,000 active users, and could go public on the stock market later in 2019.
The Watch and other wearables have quickly caught on with insurers and other businesses with a stake in health, since they offer more accurate activity tracking including heart rate monitoring. Fitter people are often less of a financial burden, since while even the cheapest Apple Watch Series 4 starts at $399, that pales next to the tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars it can cost in the U.S. for surgery or treatment of chronic conditions.
Multiple insurers, such as Aetna, have partnered with Apple on getting Watches into the hands of clients, often at little or no cost to the wearer. Apple is even offering grants to researchers willing to use ResearchKit and/or CareKit.

Jen Ray
21st Annual ART PAPERS Art Auction // Artist Spotlight
Jen Ray, Eyes As Bright As Diamonds, 2018, performance at Soluna Festival [courtesy of the artist]
ART PAPERS: Where do you look for inspiration?
Jen Ray: Glam rock, the subway, Bowie, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Berlin, punk, pre-code film, Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress, Mildred Pierce, Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter version), Blondie, Black Sabbath, The Gay Dolphin, Cicely Tyson as Harriet Tubman, Busby Berkeley, New York City.
AP: What do you wish for people to know about your work?
JR: My work is almost always about complex female heroines and the environments and histories in which they exist. I create paintings, performance art, sound works, and sculptures.
AP: Describe your studio when you're working.
JR: I don't want anyone near me when I'm working because I'm often listening to a gory true-crime podcast. Weirdly enough, a lot of artists listen to shows about murder. And I also like one about vintage Hollywood called You Must Remember This. I drink a lot of coffee and seltzer and my space is pretty organized (Libra style).
AP: Which artist(s) would you most like for your work to be displayed next to?
JR: Otto Dix, Frances Stark, Judy Chicago, Faith Ringgold, Wangechi Mutu, Louise Bourgeois, George Grosz, Jack Kirby, Hilma af Klint, Mary Reid Kelley.
AP: Why did you choose to support Art Papers by participating in the 21st Annual ART PAPERS Art Auction?
JR: I love Art Papers! I lived in Atlanta for five years and I'm still a big supporter.
AP: What are your plans for 2020? Do you have upcoming shows or projects you'd like to share?
JR: Performance art wise, I will continue my exploration of the "American Woman." I want to focus specifically on projects in New York City—fertile ground to many American women troublemakers. I'm also preparing a project to take place during the Republican National Convention but it's top secret.
Learn more about Jen Ray on her website, or follow her on Instagram.

Immersive virtual reality allows people to inhabit avatar bodies that differ from their own, and this can produce significant psychological and physiological effects. The concept of homuncular flexibility (Lanier, 2006) proposes that users can learn to control bodies different from their own by changing the relationship between tracked and rendered motion. We examine the effects of remapping movements in the real world onto an avatar that moves in novel ways. In Experiment 1, participants moved their legs more than their arms in conditions where leg movements were more effective for the task. In Experiment 2, participants controlling 3-armed avatars learned to hit more targets than participants in 2-armed avatars. We discuss the implications of embodiment in novel bodies.

Q: Closure Question - What is the JavaScript statement to call a function that is returned from an enclosing function? This is my first time using a closure as seen below, but I want to try to call myFunction() from another place of code.  What JS statement is required to invoke the anonymous function expression that is returned from the enclosing function labeled handleMouseDown()?     Currently handleMouseDown() is not being invoked on a mouseDown event on a select dropdown list that bind to the mouseDown.
function handleMouseDown(whichDropDown) {
            if (typeof mouseDownCount === 'undefined')
                mouseDownCount = 0;
            return function(whichDropDown, mouseDownCount) {
                switch (mouseDownCount) {
                    case 0:
                        mouseDownCount++;
                        break;
                    case 1:
                        mouseDownCount++;
                        myFunction(whichDropDown);
                        break;
                }
                return mouseDownCount;
            }
        }

A: Given your code, the only thing required for myFunction to be invoked looks to be the passing of 1 as an argument to the callback returned from handleMouseDown:

const myFunction = arg => console.log('myFunction called with', arg);

function handleMouseDown(whichDropDown) {
  if (typeof mouseDownCount === 'undefined')
    mouseDownCount = 0;
  return function(whichDropDown, mouseDownCount) {
    switch (mouseDownCount) {
      case 0:
        mouseDownCount++;
        break;
      case 1:
        mouseDownCount++;
        myFunction(whichDropDown);
        break;
    }
    return mouseDownCount;
  }
}

const callback = handleMouseDown('someDropdown');
callback('foo', 1);

Keep in mind that you appear to have two separate bindings for mouseDownCount - one looks to be an outer or global variable (not declared), and the other is the second argument passed to the callback. I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to implement there, but make sure you understand the difference, it'll probably be an easy source of bugs.
If you just want to call something on the second click of an element, it would be far easier just to have a variable that keeps track of the number of clicks:

let clickCount = 0;
window.addEventListener('click', () => {
  console.log('click detected');
  clickCount++;
  if (clickCount === 2) {
    console.log('second click');
  }
});


Awhile-back Stylesight took you inside Sole Tech's New York showroom to give you a peek at their upcoming Fall 10 gear. Unfortunately, at that time we were unable to give you any details on Emerica's long-awaited, highly-anticipated Stay Gold film, other than that it was still coming out, sometime.
Fortunately, we now know it's coming out soon, as in, like, this month. Stay Gold premiers in Hollywood, California on August 17, to be followed by a world tour with showings and team appearances in Vancouver, New York City, Paris, Vienna, and even Des Moines, Iowa.
Emerica's current team is one of the sickest in skate history, with vets like Ed Templeton, Heath Kirchart and Andrew Reynolds ripping along side newer legends like Jerry Hsu, Brian Herman and the boundary pushing Leo Romero. Expect sick parts from the above all stars and look out for slightly lesser know shredders Aaron Suski, Brandon Westgate and am Justin "Figgy" Figueroa to be equally productive.

626 F. 2d 196 - Hubbard v. Faros Fisheries Inc
626 F2d 196 Hubbard v. Faros Fisheries Inc
Gordon H. HUBBARD and Shirley M. Hubbard, Plaintiffs, Appellees,
FAROS FISHERIES, INC., Defendant, Appellant.
Argued May 7, 1980.
Decided July 22, 1980.
Richard A. Dempsey, Boston, Mass., with whom Leo F. Glynn and Glynn & Dempsey, Boston, Mass., were on brief, for defendant, appellant.
Roger E. Hughes, Jr., Boston, Mass., with whom David J. Ansel and Latti Associates, Boston, Mass., were on brief, for plaintiffs, appellees.
Before COFFIN, Chief Judge, BOWNES, Circuit Judge, DAVIS, Judge.*
COFFIN, Chief Judge.
Appellee Gordon Hubbard, a fisherman, brought an action against appellant Faros Fisheries, Inc., seeking damages for a heart attack he suffered while working on appellant's vessel "Ocean". Appellee's complaint sought damages on three theories: (1) negligence under the Jones Act, 46 U.S.C. § 688, (2) unseaworthiness under general maritime law, and (3) maintenance and cure. The first two theories were tried to a jury, while the issue of maintenance and cure was reserved for decision by the court. The jury found for the plaintiff on both the negligence and unseaworthiness counts and awarded damages of $85,000 plus prejudgment interest. The court entered judgment on July 2, 1979, in the amount of $100,010. Defendant filed post-trial motions for judgment notwithstanding the verdict or, in the alternative, a new trial, both of which were denied by the district court. Subsequently, in a memorandum and order issued on November 20, 1979, the court awarded maintenance and cure, at the rate of $7 per day stipulated by the parties, from the date of the plaintiff's heart attack, May 24, 1976, to the date of the jury verdict, June 29, 1979.
In this appeal, appellant argues: (1) that the court erroneously denied its motions for judgment n.o.v. and new trial because the evidence was insufficient to support the jury's findings of unseaworthiness and negligence, (2) that the court failed to instruct the jury, as appellant had requested, with regard to the legal significance of particular facts of the case and to present its theory of the case to the jury, and (3) that the court improperly determined the time period for which maintenance and cure should be paid to the appellee.
At the time of the incident precipitating this lawsuit, appellee was fifty-six years old, was apparently in good health, and had no history of heart trouble. Appellee's usual duty aboard the "Ocean" was to operate the main winch, which was used to retrieve and coil the cable from which the fishing nets are suspended. As winch operator, appellee was required to man the controls for the mechanized winch and also to operate manually a spooling mechanism that guides the cable onto the spool evenly. This manual operation consisted of turning a wheel located behind the winch. Proper functioning of the spooling mechanism is essential to the entire fishing operation.
On the morning of Saturday, May 22, 1976, appellee was operating the portside winch as the nets were being hauled in. He testified that in the course of this operation the spooling mechanism jammed and that he put his shoulder to the wheel and strained to turn it. He then felt a sharp pain in his chest, accompanied by a pain in his arm and cramps in his stomach. He called a fellow crewmember to take over and then went below. Appellee testified that he twice asked the Captain to contact another boat to take him ashore, but the Captain told him this was impossible because the ship's phone was out of order. According to appellee, the Captain also refused to change course to search for another vessel that could take him ashore because he was unwilling to interrupt fishing. Appellee's condition failed to improve, and on Monday the crew contacted the Coast Guard, which dispatched a helicopter to transport him to a hospital. Appellee was treated first as an emergency patient at a Veterans Administration hospital from May 24 to June 14, 1976, and then at the Public Health Service Hospital from June 14 to July 1, 1976. He was diagnosed as suffering from both coronary artery disease, a progressive and permanent condition, and a myocardial infarction, a heart attack. He is now permanently disabled.
The two counts on which the case went to the jury, unseaworthiness and Jones Act negligence, constitute alternative grounds for recovery. McAllister v. Magnolia Petroleum Co., 357 U.S. 221, 222, 78 S.Ct. 1201, 1202, 2 L.Ed.2d 1272 (1958). The jury returned special verdicts finding both that the "Ocean" was unseaworthy and that appellants were negligent for purposes of 46 U.S.C. § 688, and also that appellee was not contributorially negligent with respect to either count. Thus, in order to affirm the jury's award of damages, we need only find that the court's instructions and its denial of appellant's post-trial motions were proper with respect to either of these two substantive grounds for recovery.
We consider first the unseaworthiness count. Both parties agree that a shipowner has an absolute duty to provide to every member of his crew "a vessel and appurtenances reasonably fit for their intended use." Mitchell v. Trawler Racer, Inc., 362 U.S. 539, 550, 80 S.Ct. 926, 933, 4 L.Ed.2d 941 (1960). This duty includes maintaining the ship's equipment in proper operating condition, Mahnich v. Southern Steamship Co., 321 U.S. 96, 104, 64 S.Ct. 455, 459, 88 L.Ed. 561 (1944), and it is breached by transitory as well as permanent defects in such equipment, Mitchell v. Trawler Racer, Inc., supra, 362 U.S. at 549, 80 S.Ct. at 932. Even a temporary and unforeseeable malfunction or failure of a piece of equipment under proper and expected use is sufficient to establish a claim of damages for unseaworthiness, see Usner v. Lukenbach Overseas Corp., 400 U.S. 494, 499, 91 S.Ct. 514, 517, 27 L.Ed.2d 562 (1971), provided the unseaworthy condition is the proximate cause of the harm suffered by the seaman.
Appellant's chief argument for judgment n.o.v. or new trial relief from the jury's finding of unseaworthiness is that the winch operated by appellee was "reasonably fit" for its intended purpose. Citing testimony elicited at trial, appellant asserts that the winch could have been operated safely by two winchmen working together, and in fact had been so operated on those infrequent occasions when it had malfunctioned. Alternatively, appellant argues that appellee could have used a bar located beside the winch as a lever to turn the wheel on the spooling mechanism without undue exertion. Thus, the argument goes, because the winch could have been safely operated in spite of the malfunctioning spooling mechanism by either of the above two methods, no unseaworthy condition existed. Furthermore, appellant asserts, any harm suffered by appellee was attributable to his own unwillingness to avail himself of a safe method for operating the winch. Finally, appellant appears to argue that the malfunctioning winch was not the proximate cause of appellee's injury. Instead, appellant asserts that since other seamen aboard the "Ocean" had operated this equipment and had "met the strength demands of the task within the available procedures" in the past, appellant's disabling injury was caused by his underlying coronary artery disease.
The standard for granting judgment n.o.v. in this circuit is well settled. Such a motion should be granted only upon a determination that the evidence could lead reasonable men to but one conclusion, a determination made without evaluating the credibility of witnesses or the weight of the evidence at trial. DeMars v. The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States, 610 F.2d 55, 57 (1st Cir. 1979). Thus, however plausible appellant's view of the case may be, in determining whether the district judge properly denied the motion we are bound to review the evidence and the inferences to be drawn therefrom in the light most favorable to appellee. Rios v. Empresas Lineas Maritimas Argentinas, 575 F.2d 986, 989 (1st Cir. 1978).
Appellant's motion for new trial based on insufficient evidence is subject to a similarly strict standard of review. Although a district judge may order a new trial even though there may be substantial evidence to support the verdict, see generally 11 C. Wright & A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure § 2806 (1973), where the trial judge has denied such a new trial motion it is "only in a very unusual case that we will reverse such a ruling as an abuse of discretion", Sears v. Pauly, 261 F.2d 304, 309 (1st Cir. 1958). In order to award a new trial in this case, we must find that the jury's verdict was so clearly against the weight of the evidence as to constitute a manifest miscarriage of justice.
The cases relied on by appellant, apparently for the proposition that the vessel was seaworthy as a matter of law, are inappropriate. In most of the cited cases, the appellate court merely declined to reverse the conclusion of the fact finder that the vessel in question was not unseaworthy. See Little v. Green, 428 F.2d 1061 (5th Cir. 1970); Haskell v. Boat Clinton-Serafina, Inc., 412 F.2d 896 (1st Cir. 1969); Friend v. Tropis Co., 382 F.2d 633 (4th Cir. 1967); Benton v. United Towing Co., 224 F.2d 558 (9th Cir. 1955). In none of the cases did the appellate court award judgment n.o.v. or new trial after a jury had found unseaworthiness. Upon reviewing the evidence adduced at trial, we conclude that in this case reasonable minds could well differ in determining whether the malfunction of the winch constituted an unseaworthy condition on the vessel. There was sufficient evidence for the jury to conclude that the winch's spooling mechanism malfunctioned: appellee testified that he was unable to operate it as intended by turning the wheel and also introduced testimony that prior to his heart attack both he and another crew member had reported to the ship's officers that the spooling mechanism was defective. From this evidence, viewed in conjunction with testimony that the spooling device was essential to the proper functioning of the winch, the jury could justifiably conclude that the winch was not reasonably fit for its intended purpose.
Nor do we find that because appellee might have been able to operate the winch safely by requesting help or using a lever, the jury was required to find that the ship was seaworthy. In Peymann v. Perini Corp., 507 F.2d 1318, 1322 (1st Cir. 1974), we noted that where there are two means of performing a shipboard task, one of which is unsafe, "it would be an indirect application of the proscribed doctrine of assumption of the risk to foreclose recovery completely if the seaman chose the less desirable alternative." A seaman may be wholly barred from recovery only if "he selects a method he could not reasonably think open to him." Id. In this case, we believe the jury was entitled to conclude that appellee behaved in a way that he could reasonably have thought was open to him. The instinctive response to a piece of equipment that is supposed to move, but will not, is to exert more effort. Indeed, appellant's own brief, by asserting that a reasonably fit seaman could have forced the wheel to turn without being injured, tacitly acknowledges that appellee was making a reasonable use of the equipment at the time of his accident1.
Finally, we reject appellant's contention that the defective winch was not the proximate cause of appellee's injury. Both appellee's hospital records and expert testimony introduced at trial provided a basis for the jury to conclude that his heart attack was precipitated by his strenuous effort to turn the wheel of the spooling mechanism. Expert medical testimony also supported the conclusion that appellee was permanently disabled from working as a fisherman or engaging in other strenuous work by the after-effects of the attack. Appellant argues that the physical strain required by the recalcitrant winch was not the sole cause of appellee's attack; that but for his underlying coronary artery disease, he would have managed the task without incident. The requisite causation to sustain an unseaworthiness claim, however, is less than that required for a common law negligence action. See Landry v. Two R. Drilling Co., 511 F.2d 138, 142 (5th Cir. 1975); Peymann v. Perini Corp., supra, 507 F.2d at 1324. It is sufficient to sustain the jury's verdict that there was some evidence that the unseaworthy condition of the winch was a direct and substantial cause of appellee's ultimately disabling injury.
As a separate ground for new trial, appellant argues that the trial judge failed to instruct the jury properly with respect to unseaworthiness. Appellant's several objections to the court's refusal to give its requested instructions reiterate a single theme: the trial judge did not misstate the applicable law, but rather failed to explain the appropriate legal standards in terms of the particular facts of the case.2 Similarly, appellant argues that "the general charge did not sufficiently advise the jury of the legal significance of the theories of the defendant on seaworthiness and contributory negligence."
Appellant's contention is without merit. The trial judge is not required to elaborate the meaning of controlling legal standards in terms of the particular facts of the case. In Harrington v. United States, 504 F.2d 1306, 1317 (1st Cir. 1974), erroneously relied on by appellants, we stated that "it is sufficient if the principle of law is correctly stated." The jury instructions we sustained in Peymann v. Perini Corp., supra, 507 F.2d at 1321-22, upon which appellant also relies, were somewhat more fact-specific than those given in this case. The opinion does not, however, establish a party's right to the type of specific instructions appellant requested of the court in this case. Our reading of the trial judge's charge convinces us that the elements of unseaworthiness were explained in sufficient detail so that the jury could intelligently apply that standard to the facts of this case and that the appellant's right to mitigation of damages under the theory of comparative negligence was fairly and completely presented to the jury.
The remaining issue we must consider3 is whether the court erred in awarding maintenance and cure to the appellee through the date of the jury verdict. Prior to trial, appellant had made maintenance payments, at the stipulated daily rate, from May 24, 1976, to January 26, 1977. It was on or before this latter date, appellant asserted, that appellee's condition was determined to be permanent and therefore that appellant's obligation for maintenance and cure ended. The great weight of authority supports the district court's conclusion that a seaman is not entitled to maintenance and cure once his disabling condition "has been found to be permanent and incapable of being improved." See Farrell v. United States, 336 U.S. 511, 69 S.Ct. 707, 93 L.Ed. 850 (1949); Berke v. Lehigh Marine Disposal Corp., 435 F.2d 1073, n.3 (2d Cir. 1970) (collecting cases); 1B Benedict on Admiralty § 48 at 4-38 (6th ed. 1976).4 The parties do not disagree over this issue, but rather over the question of when the relevant finding of permanency was made in this case. Appellant argues that the district court mistakenly regarded the controlling determination of permanency to be that made by the court, not the appellee's attending physicians. Appellee apparently does not disagree that it is the medical, not the judicial, determination of permanency that terminates the right to maintenance and cure, but he argues that the court found as a matter of fact that an unequivocal medical diagnosis was not rendered until the trial.
In Vella v. Ford Motor Co., 421 U.S. 1, 5, 95 S.Ct. 1381, 1383, 43 L.Ed.2d 682 (1975), the Supreme Court, quoting the district court, held that "maintenance and cure continue until such time as the incapacity is declared to be permanent." Standing alone, this statement contributes little toward resolving the question of who is to make the determination of permanency. The remainder of the Court's opinion does provide clues, however. The Court based its holding in part on the following reasoning:
"Denial of maintenance and cure when the seaman's injury, though in fact permanent immediately after the accident, is not medically diagnosed as permanent until long after its occurrence would obviously disserve and frustrate the 'combined object of encouraging marine commerce and assuring the well-being of seamen' ". Id. at 4, 95 S.Ct. at 1383 (emphasis added).
The reference to medical diagnosis suggests that appellant is correct in his assertion that the date of the judicial determination of permanency is not dispositive. This suggestion is bolstered by the Court's quotation with approval of the following language from Vitco v. Joncich, 130 F.Supp. 945, 949 (S.D.Cal. 1955):
"The shipowner's obligation to furnish maintenance . . . is (not) discharged until the earliest time when it is reasonably and in good faith determined by those charged with the seaman's care and treatment that the maximum cure reasonably possible has been effected." 421 U.S. at 6 n.5, 95 S.Ct. at 1383 (emphasis added by the Supreme Court).
We conclude that appellee was entitled to maintenance and cure until his physicians diagnosed his condition as permanent.
The district court cited Vella for the premise that the right to maintenance and cure terminates when "an unequivocal determination of permanency has been made." But the court then stated its factual finding as follows: "In this case, the court was satisfied on the issue of permanency of the plaintiff's condition only after the medical testimony at trial." It appears, therefore, that the court applied an incorrect legal standard to the facts of the case. Because appellant cited facts in the record sufficient to raise at least a colorable claim that appellee's condition was diagnosed as permanent well before the date of the trial, we remand this case to the district court for the limited purpose of determining when appellee's physicians made an unequivocal diagnosis of the permanency of his disability.
Affirmed in part, vacated in part, and remanded.
Of the United States Court of Claims, sitting by designation
Although contributory negligence is not available as a complete defense to an unseaworthiness claim, Palermo v. Luckenbach Steamship Co., 355 U.S. 20, 78 S.Ct. 1, 2 L.Ed.2d 3 (1957), the principle of comparative negligence does apply, see 1B Benedict on Admiralty § 25 (6th ed. 1976). Thus, a shipowner's liability may be offset proportionately to the extent to which the jury determines the plaintiff's own negligence contributed to his injury. Here the jury specifically found that no portion of the appellee's harm was attributable to his negligence. Appellant has not explicitly challenged the sufficiency of the evidence supporting this finding. We note, however, that we find sufficient evidence to uphold this portion of the jury's verdict
For example, appellant requested the trial judge to give the following instruction with regard to unseaworthiness: "If you find that the winch could have been operated by the plaintiff without undue force by using a bar or requesting assistance of another fisherman, you will find that the vessel was seaworthy."
Because we find the jury's verdict supported on the ground of unseaworthiness, we need not consider whether the jury properly found for appellee on the Jones Act count
Although the Supreme Court in Vella v. Ford Motor Co., 421 U.S. 1, 5 n.4, 95 S.Ct. 1381, 1384, n.4, 43 L.Ed.2d 682 (1975), left open the question whether maintenance and cure may be awarded for "palliative medical care to arrest further progress of the condition or to reduce pain", appellee does not argue that he is entitled to such payments


Every film lover has a 'guilty pleasure, a movie one enjoys despite what popular opinion says about it. The designation has been applied to films as diverse as Grease and Plan 9 From Outer Space, but one film that constantly pops up at the top of 'guilty pleasure' lists is The Beastmaster. Over the years, this sword-and-sorcery epic has built up a serious cult following for its flamboyant, one-of-a-kind blend of fantasy, action and flat-out weirdness.
The Beastmaster focuses on Dar, a young man living in medieval times. His life is turned upside down when his family and the rest of their village are murdered by the Juns, a group of leather-clad warriors who work the evil sorcerer Maax. Dar swears revenge and sets out to find Maax. As he begins his journey, Dar discovers that he can communicate telepathically with animals and see through their eyes. He soon gathers a team of four animal companions, including a black panther, an eagle and a pair of adorable ferrets named Kodo and Podo who like to hang from Dar's belt.
Dar also makes human friends as he travels through the barren, desert-like countryside. He befriends Seth, a wise but fierce warrior, and falls in love with Kiri, a beautiful slave girl. Kiri provides the important key to Dar's quest when she leads them to a city ruled by Maax. Dar soon discovers that he was the son of this city's king and his parents were murdered by Maax, who has been searching for him because of a prophecy that the king's son will kill him. In a thrilling finale, Dar enlists the help of both his animal and human friends to end Maax's evil reign for once and all.
Tens of thousands of movies have been made since the invention of the motion picture camera, but it's safe to say there has never been another quite like The Beastmaster. A sword and sorcery movie at heart, this flick also blended in elements of horror movies, spaghetti westerns, and even a bit of Oedipus Rex. Writer/director Don Coscarelli, who also made the horror classic Phantasm, melded a classic 'hero's journey' plot with all kinds of amusingly out-there elements. From the acrobatic witch women who serve Maax to the cutesy antics of Dar's ferrets, The Beastmaster always had an unpredictable and memorable surprise in store for the viewer.
It also helped that The Beastmaster was very stylishly crafted. The slick, atmospheric photography by John Alcott (a veteran of many Stanley Kubrick films) played a big part in creating its mystical mood. The film further benefited from a lush, heroic-sounding score by jazz veteran Lee Holdridge, who also did the music for the Beauty and the Beast television series. Their efforts helped make The Beastmaster a film whose style lived up to its fantastic ideas.
The other key to The Beastmaster was the memorable performances from its skilled cast. Marc Singer, who would later star in the sci-fi miniseries V, brought humor and charm to his heroic role, and Tanya Roberts brought her natural charms as his true love. John Amos, best remembered as the dad from TV's Good Times, made a worthy warrior sidekick to Dar and cut a stylish figure in his mohawk-and-loincloth ensemble. Most importantly, the film had a killer villain in Maax. Rip Torn was memorably nasty as the hook-nosed sorcerer, bringing the right blend of authority and campiness to this fearsome character.
These many cool elements have made The Beastmaster a cult favorite with a long life. To this day, it is shown regularly on TBS and TNT (leading some fans to speculate that TBS actually stands for "The Beastmaster Station"). The Beastmaster's enduring popularity has also led to two sequels and a television series. The film's non-stop popularity proves that The Beastmaster is one guilty pleasure you don't have to feel guilty about.
