That said, we know there are those divers out there yearning to get on a boat dive and get out do different sites, so here's what we've got on the calendar for the month of August.
Remember, if you're coming to Maui and there's something you want to do, just ask us in advance and if we can get it on the schedule for you, we will (that's how most of this stuff gets on the calendar in the first place)!
GIRLS GONE DIVING: August 11- Girls just wanna have fun and when we round up a bunch of the ladies to go diving together, there's plenty of giggling and some nice, long dives. Expect an all girl crew today (except Capt. Don, who will be very in touch with his feminine side) and a good time. It seems like someone always brings something special to share with the rest, so if you're of a mind to do that, feel free! Ladies Only.
It's not easy to find anyone who does night dives from a boat anymore, so we decided to jump right in and offer some sites that will give you some variety from shore diving. Though we probably will NOT go to Molokini, we will find some cool critters along the pali - you should join us! Check in is at 4:PM and we get back between 8:00 and 9:00. If August 16 doesn't work for you, please call the shop to book your night dive from shore - we do those much more frequently.
HELLDIVER & TRIPLE ANCHORS: August 23 - The Helldiver has been sitting on the ocean floor since 1944! Both dives will be square profiles at about 60 feet deep, so if you are nitrox certified, be sure to order some up to increase your bottom time!
CARTHAGINIAN: August 25 The Carthaginian II was a floating museum located in Lahaina harbor…it is NOW a dive site located just outside of Lahaina in about 100 feet of water.
Sunk in 2005 by Atlantis Submarines, this artificial reef is starting to show some growth and has attracted a variety of fish. In 2011, the main mast of this 96 foot long steel hulled ship finally collapsed, and the vessel continues to become part of the ocean environment.
that are accessible to divers and many crustaceans have made homes in the ship's hold. Divers will typically experience mild to moderate currents here and need to be aware of their depth and position throughout the dive. For many, the highlight of this dive is getting to see the Atlantis Submarine cruise by. Divers become as much a part of the show for submarine passengers as they do for us; flashbulbs can be seen going off from inside as well as outside the submarine!
DRIFT DIVE DAYS: August 26 We may do drift dives or we may just start in one location and end in another - we don't need current to drift! If you've got a special request, let us hear it - we're game!
PRIVATE CHARTERS: We offer private charters any time YOU want them and WE have availability. We can do morning, afternoon, sunset, whatever you have in mind. T This is a great way to enjoy some quality time with your friends and family and to have the boat all to yourself. We can accommodate up to 18 passengers, so if you want to snag one of these charters, it's best to skip the emailing and CALL us at 808-874-5332. Private Charters are $1800 in the mornings and $1700 in the afternoons.

You're right. . .. . .
Greg what's his name is completely right. We should all hate the Greg who runs this fan club because he is obviously doing an atrocious job at promoting billy. The fact that he invests time, money, and talent into this fan club should be disregarded. The fact that he is the only person on the net who provides up-to-date billy information should be completely forgotten. The fact that he supports and cares about billy's "career" enough to even run a fan site shouldn't be mentioned, but i digress. the only reason people should hate greg who runs the site is because he is too terribly good at web design. the point of this long message is this: greg whats his face needs to get a grip. .. enter reality. the greg who runs this site has done a perfectly fine job, and quite frankly, the fact that you didn't win a william mcnamara fan club contest should not be the end all of your universe.
OKKKKKKKKK. I MET BILLY, IT IS AWSOME THAT WE LAUGH ABOUT THIS.

Is Ireland divorcing from the Catholic Church?
In the wake of the sex abuse scandals, an anti-Vatican mood is sweeping the land.
By Mary Kenny 26 July 2011 • 20:49 pm
Pope Benedict XVI greets Catholics Credit: Photo: AP
Our Irish parents and grandparents would find astonishing the acidly anti-clerical views expressed in the Republic of Ireland today. The land that once called itself a foremost Catholic nation and most loyal ally of the Holy Father is awash with sentiments that seem to veer between Ulster Paisleyism and the Spanish republicanism of the 1930s.
One newspaper published a photograph of the Pope in full regalia, with "Persona Non Grata" superimposed on his image.
The airwaves are full of bitter remarks supporting Taoiseach Enda Kenny's attack on the "disgraceful" Vatican, and recommending every anti-church measure from the dissolution of the monasteries to the expulsion of the Papal Nuncio and the severing of all links with the Holy See. (The recall of the Papal Nuncio this week marks the lowest point of relations between Ireland and Rome.)
One correspondent wrote that it was his ardent hope that the Catholic Church would follow the example of the News of the World, and hold a "last Mass" before shutting down.
The Taoiseach, meanwhile, has been met with standing ovations for his salvo against the Vatican for failing to respond with sufficient concern to the clerical sex abuse scandals as described in the Cloyne report.
His justice minister, Alan Shatter, is introducing a highly controversial Bill which will compel Irish priests to disclose the secrets of the confessional where paedophilia is mentioned: failure to do so could result in a five-year prison sentence.
This is decidedly not the Catholic Ireland in which I grew up, where politicians were falling over themselves to kiss bishops' rings, and where one of Enda Kenny's party predecessors as Taoiseach declared that he was a Catholic first and an Irishman second. However, the breach with the Church has been a long time coming, and for the majority of Irish citizens it is welcome.
There was too much deference to the authority of the Church within the state, even if it was, for historical reasons, sometimes understandable.
There was a long memory of the "Saggart Aroon" – the "Darling Priest" who had stood by the people in dark Penal Days and who became, especially after the break with the Crown, a kind of native nobility. In my family, my mother was inordinately proud of an uncle who was a canon in Co Galway, with a stable of hunters and a splendid wine cellar.
Didn't it show he was just as good as the gentry!
But all power becomes, eventually, overweening, and the clergy's power grew too great. This new fierce mood of Irish anti-clericalism is all part of the reaction.
Although some details of Kenny's speech have been challenged – the state itself failed to implement guidelines about child protection, and there will be a conflict over the seal of the confessional – his oration is a remarkable example of a political leader expressing the collective mood: that the laws of the Irish Republic stand above canon law. And that the Irish prime minister does not take dictation from the Holy See.
The Vatican is not best pleased with this development, and sent a cool response about its "surprise and disappointment". But the Vatican is a bit like the British Empire: it has diplomatic relations with 179 states. It takes time to get around to all of them, however individually compelling.
There are now calls to remove the Catholic Church from every element of Irish public life, and this is supported by a growing secularist movement. Contrary to supposition, though, state and Church in Ireland are already separate: the constitution, although it mentions God, makes no mention of the Catholic Church, specifically affirms that there may be no religious discrimination, and rules that no religion may be endowed by the state.
However, there is a difference between state and culture: the state construes laws, but the culture draws on history, memory, family, folklore. Despite constitutional separation of Church and state, there remain religious traditions, such as the broadcast of the Angelus on national radio, the prayers that open Dail sittings, and the existence – even dominance – of faith-based schools, which secularists seek to abolish.
Such sweeping changes could occur in what was once Catholic Ireland: the state could become as secularist as France, with all allusion to the Almighty officially excised. Yet even in France, the holy days continue, with Pentecost and Ascension and All Saints, and Lourdes attracting millions.
The Church in Ireland will never be what it was, but the faith, at grassroots level, will not disappear. The people will climb the holy mountain of St Patrick, and come in their thousands to the shrine of Our Lady at Knock, and beggar themselves to provide children with first communion regalia; and when there is a tragedy in a small town, the church and parish priest will still be at the centre of the community, offering age-old comforts, not of the Vatican, but of the faith.

A few years ago Sonia Poleon invited me to her radio show to speak about my businesses and the creation of my brand Roots Reggae Reggae Sauce Ltd. I was later invited to her TV show to tell my life story: from Jamaica to the Uk. Sonia impressed upon me her passion for helping others and being someone willing to listen to others and theirs stories.
I explained to Sonia that I always wanted to make it as a musician, not as a creator of sauces, food and drink. But my dreams of hitting the top of the pop charts never materialised and I ended up in my kitchen making sauces instead of a life on the stage. Sooner or later each of us comes to a point, where we realise that we need to make changes. At times we can get stuck into a comfort zone, as I did with my music and not realise we need to make changes. Life is hard, and our experiences can often make us unable to see the wood because of all the trees in front of us.
We don't always realise just how much stronger our inner self is, and we often don't know that we are truly unbreakable until we are tested. Whenever we get to know ourselves it is only then we get a true sense of how powerful our spirit really is. Sometimes it takes us a while to find our true potential.
Do you think diamonds are found the way they are? For us to put so much value on diamonds and other precious metals they have to go through extreme pressures. So in order for us to shine like a diamond, one at times must always feel and experience extreme life pressures in order to mould and value ourselves. This is exactly what the co-authors of this book went through.
Taking the saying "whatever doesn't break you, will surely make you stronger" as a source of inspiration and a lifestyle, the authors of these moving and inspiring stories have all decided to put their own experiences together and create this book. Blind Spot is about the power and strength of their spirits.
Each of the stories has been accurately compiled and became links of a chain, without which the book wouldn't be complete. The stories are based on the lives of extraordinary people who decided to share their life story with thousands of people who could be in need of inspiration. They want to remind the world that no past circumstances should prevent us from having the bright future we dream about.
The heroes of this book wants to remind us that "There is no such thing as mistakes, its all about the feedback and what we learn from picking ourselves up dusting down and going again". There are so many people who are in need of someone who would just hold their hands and remind them that they can be the best of themselves. Don't undermine your worth by comparing yourself with others, its because we are all different why each of us are special. Don't set your goals by what others deem important.

Han Solo leads Lucasfilm's second standalone Star Wars film, passing Harrison Ford's role down to Alden Ehrenreich (Hail, Caesar!). The film follows Han and Chewbacca before they joined the Rebellion. Donald Glover (Atlanta) plays young Lando Calrissian.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, directors of The LEGO Movie, originally helmed the film. However, partway through shooting, the pair was taken off the film due to creative differences. The project was then given to Oscar-winning director Ron Howard.
Growing up watching Star Wars movies, I don't remember ever wondering how Han and Chewbacca met. Nothing in this origin story of one of my favourite cinematic bromances enhances it or gives it a more powerful meaning. There is a lot of obedient connecting of dots going on in Solo: A Star Wars Story when those dots just do not need to be connected.
The worst thing about Solo isn't its lack of amazing action or its dutiful telling of a backstory we don't need to be told, but rather the high bar set by its predecessors. The Empire Strikes Back is a movie so beloved, so sacred to a large section of the world's film fans, that all Star Wars movies are cursed to forever being compared to it. The latest might be an above average action adventure, but it sure as hell ain't no Empire.
Despite the intermittent lags, the production proves to be more than a salvage operation thanks mainly to those engagingly choreographed performances, led by an irresistibly charismatic title turn from Alden Ehrenreich.
It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it also holds whatever irreverent, anarchic impulses it might possess in careful check.
Howard and the Kasdans play the series game without ever raising the stakes, defaulting to dull and dutiful when they might have blasted off into creative anarchy.
With [Ron] Howard at the controls, the movie is a fun-fuelled entertainment.
Far better than we had any right to expect. Thrilling set-pieces, spine-tingling iconography and a Han/Chewie bromance to savour.
You can feel the two versions of Solo: A Star Wars Story tugging at each other throughout.
Delivers exactly what it promises. It is a very competent and, at times, riotously enjoyable film.

'I'm Nonetheless Shocked': Indonesian Airline Crash Shakes Small Fishing Village
LANCANG ISLAND, Indonesia — Hendrik Mulyadi was checking his crab traps when he heard an enormous explosion on the water close by. The ocean all of the sudden rose, lifting the Indonesian fisherman's boat as smoke crammed the air.
"I'm fortunate it didn't hit me," he recalled on Monday, sitting at his dwelling on Lancang Island and nonetheless visibly shaken by what he noticed. "It was like lightening, very quick. It exploded when it hit the water. I noticed particles floating. It was airplane particles."
Mr. Hendrik, 30, was one in all 5 crab fishermen who have been out engaged on the water Saturday afternoon when Sriwijaya Air Flight 182 fell from the sky minutes after takeoff with 62 individuals onboard, 10 of them kids and infants. The aircraft crashed into the Java Sea, about 300 ft from the place Mr. Hendrik was fishing.
Usually a sleepy island with comparatively few guests, Lancang has now develop into a base for the plane search and restoration operation led by Basarnas, Indonesia's nationwide search and rescue company. The crash website is lower than a mile from the island's mangroves, coconut and banana timber.
The islanders, who usually dwell in colourful, single-story houses, can now see dozens of vessels offshore, combing the world for wreckage and our bodies and attempting to get better the black field.
The Sriwijaya flight, which was sure for the town of Pontianak on the island of Borneo, is the third passenger aircraft in simply over six years to crash into the Java Sea after departing from airports on Java island.
Air Asia Flight 8501 crashed into the Java Sea off the coast of Borneo in December 2014 with 162 individuals aboard because it flew from the Indonesian metropolis of Surabaya to Singapore. Investigators ultimately blamed the catastrophe on the failure of a key element and an improper response by the flight crew.
And in October 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 nose-dived into the Java Sea northeast of Jakarta, the capital, minutes after takeoff with 189 passengers and crew on board to Pangkal Pinang. The anti-stall system malfunctioned on the Boeing 737, a special aircraft from the one within the crash this weekend.
Lancang is without doubt one of the so-called Thousand Islands, which really quantity about 110 and are scattered within the Java Sea north of Jakarta. A number of the islands are widespread vacationer locations. Others, like Lancang, are devoted virtually completely to fishing.
"For the reason that Lion Air crash, I usually assume after I'm on the ocean and I see a aircraft go by, what if an airplane crashes right here?" Mr. Hendrik mentioned. "There are numerous fishermen right here. We might die."
Lower than a mile lengthy and a 3rd of a mile vast, Lancang is dwelling to about 2,100 individuals, practically all of them linked to the fishing commerce. The small, largely Muslim neighborhood is simply 15 miles northeast of Jakarta and one of many closest of the Thousand Islands to the town's Soekarno-Hatta Worldwide Airport.
There aren't any vehicles and residents get round on foot or by bike. The primary highway is just one lane vast, and it takes lower than an hour to stroll all the best way across the island.
Few of the islanders have ever flown on an airplane. On clear days, they will see them go overhead as they take off from Jakarta for northern locations. Nonetheless, Mr. Hendrik mentioned he by no means may have anticipated what occurred on Saturday.
"I by no means thought a aircraft crash may occur right here," he mentioned.
The island's village chief, Mahtum, 47, who like many Indonesians makes use of just one identify, mentioned many households on the island eke out a dwelling and lead easy lives. Lancang has been nearly untouched by the coronavirus, with simply three circumstances that have been detected final week. However the islanders dwell below the specter of tsunamis.
The best elevation in your complete Thousand Island chain is 23 ft, leaving many susceptible to rising sea ranges and the sort of excessive storms that delayed the Sriwijaya flight earlier than takeoff. Lancang's highest level is seven ft above sea degree. Some fishermen thought Saturday's crash was a coming deluge.
"Not solely Lancang Island, however all islands within the Thousand Islands are threatened by excessive tides and powerful winds due to local weather change," Mr. Mahtum mentioned.
When the airplane fell into the ocean, it was so near the island that it rattled home windows. One fisherman, Sahapi, was on the water together with his crew of 1, checking his crab traps not removed from Mr. Hendrik's boat when the catastrophe struck.
Mr. Sahapi, 52, a fisherman on Lancang Island since 1987, mentioned he heard what appeared like an enormous explosion. He felt the ocean elevate his boat and noticed flashes of yellow and pink beneath the floor. "I noticed particles within the rising water," he mentioned. "Thick black smoke crammed the air and the rain was heavy. The water was yellow and pink."
At first, he thought there might need been a tsunami, then he realized Mr. Hendrik's boat was nearer to the location of the explosion, he determined that his good friend should have been struck by lightening.
"I used to be afraid to be rolled by the wave," he mentioned. "I seemed proper and left and I didn't see my good friend's boat."
"I didn't hear any airplane sound," he mentioned.
He hurried dwelling to ship the unhealthy information of Mr. Hendrik's dying. To his reduction, Mr. Hendrik returned quickly after and reported that there had been an airplane crash.
Mr. Sahapi took cops from the island again out to the scene after he realized of the crash and helped them use an anchor to drag up some wiring and bits of clothes from the plane.
By Sunday, searchers had situated the airplane's flight information recorders and hoped to get better them quickly. However it may take months earlier than investigators decide the reason for the crash. Efforts continued Monday to extract our bodies and get better the information recorders from the wreckage.
The Sriwijaya aircraft, a Boeing 737-500, was deemed secure to fly earlier than takeoff and the airline had by no means suffered a crash that resulted in fatalities on board. Greater than 50 ships and hundreds of individuals are concerned within the search and restoration.
Mr. Hendrik, who was born and raised on Lancang, began fishing together with his father as a toddler and has been a fisherman ever since. He was on his 33-foot boat together with his crew of two on the time of the crash.
He mentioned he was nonetheless in such shock after what he witnessed that he declined to go along with the police to point out them the placement.
"I used to be nonetheless in trauma," he mentioned. "I simply sat at dwelling shaking, and I used to be stuttering whereas talking. I've misplaced my urge for food till now. I'm nonetheless shocked."
The authorities haven't allowed the Lancang crab fishermen to examine their traps close to the crash website since Saturday. Mr. Hendrik has 550 traps ready within the sea.

They can't interfere with the lessons you need to learn while you're here. I remember a woman who was thrilled that her mother came through during our session. She wanted her mom to tell her if she should divorce her husband. Of course, the mother couldn't make that decision for her because it wasn't her job. The woman needed to take responsibility for her own life.
Playing cards, imported into Europe from Egypt, consisted of four suits similar to the ones we still see in tarot today: cups, swords, wands (or staves) and coins. As early as 1227 C.E., symbolic meaning was attributed to certain cards, some of which began to take on names such as "The Sun" and "The Moon," etc. This attachment of symbolism to the cards heralded the development of the trumps. Occultists suggest that this evolution of the tarot coincides so closely with the rise of both the Kabbalah and the Inquisition that the symbolism entrenched in the tarot is really the hidden remnants of Pagan Europe struggling to survive.
First, you have to realize that you're thinking in terms of physical love when you ask this question. Those on the Other-Side are no longer constrained by the physical body and its needs. If someone was married more than once or had numerous loves, they can gravitate to whomever they want, or go back and join the soul group from which they came. It's my belief that we reincarnate to this physical existence with the same people we've been with in numerous lifetimes, and that could encompass some of the loves and close relationships we've had here. I don't feel that we have just one soul mate, as many people in your life could be your soul mates.
St. John Paul II opens up Fides et Ratio extolling the complementarity of faith and reason; they are "like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth—in a word, to know himself—so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves."[v] Every Catholic isn't expected to get an advanced degree in theology, but each one of us has to understand what we believe. St. Peter reminds us to "always be prepared to make a defense to any one who calls you to account for the hope that is in you" (1 Peter 3:15).

Not all psychics are mediums, but all mediums are psychic. A psychic uses psychic skills to read the energies of people (spirits incarnate as human) within the earthly realm. A spiritual medium uses psychical skills to read the energies of spirits within the spirit world. A medium however, is psychic too and this can present a problem. When a client visits, you can pick up on their emotional energies, thoughts and expectations and this can effect the reading you give. You must learn to filter these out through practicing on many people first. You must learn through experience when you're picking up psychic energies or those of spirit. It's hard to describe skills such as these and they must learned within a mediumistic circle or similar group, explained shortly. Ask your client to close their eyes and relax for a few moments before you begin a session. Remind them to be free of expectations so that you do not pick up on them psychically.
"I don't usually get spirit messages. I just don't. But one day I was sitting with a friend, and all of a sudden, clear as day, I knew I had to tell her that her grandmother wanted her to go home. I told her, and she said that all her grandparents were dead. She called home anyway, to make sure everything was okay, and found out that her sister had been hurt at work and was on her way to an emergency room. I have no idea why my friend's grandmother chose me to pass this message along, and it's never happened since."

Psychologists and researchers who studied Pearl Curran's automatic writings in the 1930s came to the conclusion Patience Worth was a fictitious creation of Curran.[152][153] In 1931 George Valiantine was exposed as a fraud in the séance room as it was discovered that he produced fraudulent "spirit" fingerprints in wax. The "spirit" thumbprint that Valiantine claimed belonged to Arthur Conan Doyle was revealed to be the print of his big toe on his right foot. It was also revealed that Valiantine made some of the prints with his elbow.[154]
By the mid-18th century, the mystical applications for cards had spread from Italy to other parts of Europe. In France, writer Antoine Court de Gébelin asserted that the tarot was based on a holy book written by Egyptian priests and brought to Europe by Gypsies from Africa. In reality, tarot cards predated the presence of Gypsies in Europe, who actually came from Asia rather than Africa. Regardless of its inaccuracies, Court de Gébelin's nine-volume history of the world was highly influential.
Thousands of people from different cultures have had experiences with these beings. According to an ancient Jewish tradition, angels were the first intelligent beings, created by God to help sustain life and assist you in all areas of your life. Have you ever said to yourself, How did I get out of that situation safely? It must have been luck. Well, luck may have played a part in it, but it's more than likely that you had a little angelic assistance.
If you are looking to connect with someone who has passed, then you are requesting a mediumistic reading. I will raise my vibration, as those in the spirit world will lower their vibration on a frequency level to make the connection possible. It is my spirit in my body connecting with a spirit that no longer has a physical body. I will be connecting to those who have passed and who are able to connect with you at the time of the reading. As an evidential medium, I will ask those in the spirit world to communicate evidential facts that will validate the continuity of life after the physical world. Besides describing what the person may have looked like here on the earth plane, I will also sense their individual personality, and ask them for as many details as possible such as birthday and anniversary dates, dates of passing, names, and maybe what kind of work they did here on the earth plane, objects they owned or where they lived, etc.. Sometimes one person will be connecting at the time of the reading, and sometimes many people from spirit will connect with you during the reading. My intention as an evidential medium is to work with those in the spirit world, asking for as much validation as possible so that it will leave no doubt in your mind that your loved one, or loved ones, have communicated with you from the spirit world.
All of Kerouac's work constitutes a dialogue between his Buddhist and Hindu learning and the residues of his Catholic upbringing. This autobiographical novel, his most joyous and optimistic work, centers on his meeting and friendship with Gary Snyder (here called "Japhy Ryder"), the American poet and student of Chinese and Japanese culture and Zen Buddhism. Kerouac, the child of immigrants and raised in a Massachusetts mill town, is guided by Gary Snyder, Oregon mountain man and anthropologist, in treks up mountains toward "heaven," and in his first steps toward an ecological view and a path of personal independence. Kerouac, in turn, becomes our guide to the spiritual possibilities inherent in the grandeur and beauty of the great American Northwest. As Kerouac and Snyder trade Buddhist one-liners and bring Eastern thought into contact with native American influences like Walt Whitman, Henry David Thoreau, and John Muir, we realize we are witnessing a rebirth of American transcendentalism. The book is filled with a youthful energy and idealism that makes you wish you were there with them during a time when anything seemed possible for young Americans and for the American novel.

Now that you are becoming a medium, you'll need a very active, highly attentive spirit guide who'll take on the task of being the gatekeeper for communication. They'll help to screen spirits coming to you for communication and aid spirits struggling to get their meaning across. The guides bring the spirits forward to you and align their vibrations with yours. They are a little like a customer adviser. They manage the line of customers and give them access to you and the client when it's their turn. You need to establish who this special spirit guide is, there may be more than one, and build relationships with them. Your vibration must be tuned with theirs on a deep and permanent level.
The séance trick of the Eddy Brothers was revealed by the magician Chung Ling Soo in 1898. The brothers utilized a fake hand made of lead, and with their hands free from control would play musical instruments and move objects in the séance room.[96] The physiologist Ivor Lloyd Tuckett examined a case of spirit photography that W. T. Stead had claimed was genuine. Stead visited a photographer who had produced a photograph of him with deceased soldier known as "Piet Botha". Stead claimed that the photographer could not have come across any information about Piet Botha, however, Tuckett discovered that an article in 1899 had been published on Pietrus Botha in a weekly magazine with a portrait and personal details.[97]
There are many ways to access and express your spirituality, including religious rituals, art, poetry, music, and nature appreciation, as well as yoga, meditation, and numerous other areas of spiritual pursuit. Spiritual readings are an essential part of this dynamic range of options because they provide a bridge to the spiritual realm that you do not have to cross alone. In fact, spiritual psychics can be seen as guides who can help you approach and understand aspects of spirituality that you may not know how to access on your own.
No one truly knows when playing cards began to be used for divination, although as early as the fifteenth century, additional picture cards (trumps) were being added to decks of playing cards. These cards depicted images of gods, heroes, or motifs to express philosophical, social, astronomical, or other ideals. The earliest known mention of the practice of tarot-style cartomancy appears in literature in the 16th century. By the 18th century, simple divination methods using cards appeared in several manuscripts.

Browning seized the supposed materialized head, and it turned out to be the bare foot of Home. The deception was not helped by the fact that Browning never had lost a son in infancy."
Attempts to communicate with the dead and other living human beings, aka spirits, have been documented back to early human history.

Trump supporters launch recall attempt against Gov. Brown

Trump supporters in Southern California have launched a recall effort against Gov. Jerry Brown, although it's a long shot attempt to reign in the popular governor.
Organizers say they're fed up with Brown's liberal-leaning agenda and will work to gather the 878,110 valid signatures that the Secretary of State's office says is needed to trigger a special election and attempt to recall the governor.
"We're sick and tired of not having a voice," said Rachel Gunther, executive director of the Make California Great PAC, which is leading the recall effort.
The Republican-led group, which Gunther says has seven founding members, is upset about several of Brown's policies. For one, they cite the upcoming gas tax. Californians will see a 12-cent-a-gallon increase in gasoline prices come Nov. 1. The package of new taxes and fees is expected to generate more than $50 billion in new funding.
They're also upset that Brown recently signed the "sanctuary state" bill, sharply limiting how state and local authorities can cooperate with federal immigration authorities and putting California at odds once again with President Trump.
A rally to support the Brown recall attempt is set for Saturday in downtown Los Angeles. The group also held a kickoff event there Friday.
The effort to recall the governor comes at a time when Brown's poll numbers have held strong.
According to a recent PPIC survey, 55 percent of all likely voters approve of Brown's job performance.
Those numbers drop when focusing on GOP respondents. Only about 20 percent of Republicans like what he's done in office.
Brown, the state's longest-serving governor, is in his final term and relinquishes the office next year.
There have been 48 attempts to recall California governors, according to the Secretary of State's website. In 2003, a successful recall attempt led to Gov. Gray Davis' removal. Arnold Schwarzenegger was elected as his successor.

At the 1924 Australasian championships, McInnes caused a huge upset by beating two-time Wimbledon champion Gerald Patterson. Patterson twisted his ankle in the first set and, because of this, his game was affected and he played mainly from the baseline. McInnes lost in the quarter finals to Richard Schlesinger. McInnes lost in the second round of the 1927 Australian championships to Rice Gemmell In 1967 McInnes attended Gerald Patterson's funeral.

Dozens of cyber attacks target heart of government every month, GCHQ chief warns
GCHQ's National Cyber Security Centre chief revealed Britain has been hit by 188 high-level attacks in the last three months
Telegraph Reporters
12 February 2017 • 8:33am
Britain's national security is threatened by dozens of cyber attacks every month, a security chief has said, as he warned that hackers are attempting to steal secrets from the heart of government.
The remarks from Ciaran Martin, a GCHQ boss, came as Chancellor Philip Hammond said hacks could bring down national infrastructure and that even kettles, fridges and driverless cars were also at risk.
Mr Martin, chief executive of GCHQ's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), said Britain had been hit by 188 high-level attacks, "many of which threatened national security" in the last three months.
There has been a step change in Russian aggression in cyber space Ciaran Martin, GCHQ
He told The Sunday Times: "In the case of government departments, (it is) getting into the system to extract information on UK government policy on anything from energy to diplomacy to information on a particular sector."
Attempts by Russian and Chinese state-sponsored hackers on defence and foreign policy secrets are among the attacks being investigated by the NCSC, the newspaper said.
Mr Martin added: "Over the last two years there has been a step change in Russian aggression in cyber space.
"Part of that step change has been a series of attacks on political institutions, political parties, parliamentary organisations and that's all very well evidenced by our international partners and widely accepted."
Among these, according to US intelligence services, is an attempt by the Kremlin to interfere with the presidential election during a breach of Democratic National Committee computers.
Mr Hammond, a former defence and foreign secretary, said the NCSC had blocked 34,550 "potential attacks" on government departments and members of the public in the last six months – a rate of around 200 hacks a day.
Writing in The Telegraph, he warned that the "internet revolution" brought the threat of being held to ransom by hackers, the theft of intellectual property and the "shutting down of critical national infrastructure".
"Beyond hacked kettles and fridges, 'internet of things' devices, such as driverless cars, can present alarmingly real security threats that could be incredibly dangerous if the right security isn't in place," he added.
Their comments come ahead of the Queen's official opening of the NCSC in London on Tuesday.

Q: Save Results in a list and give the list out to a csv I work with Tika File Detector. It checks which file Typ my file is.
At the moment my Code is like this
if (Type.endsWith("application/msword")){ //Match if its .doc
    }

    else if (Type.endsWith("application/vnd.ms-powerpoint")){ //Match if its .ppt
    }

    else if (Type.endsWith("application/vnd.ms-excel")){ //Match if its .xls
    }

    else if (Type.endsWith("application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document")){ //Match if its .docx

Now I want to Store the Result in a list, which list has two entries. When I checked all files I want to save the list in a csv file.
I tried this with a hashmap but that didn't work.

A: You could use parallel arrays.  I'm guessing one for the file name and one for the file type, but there is no need to store the info in a temporary data structure if you are just writing to .csv.
If you want to write filename, mime string and extension to a csv, do something like this, where you iterate through your files in main()...
 static Tika tika = new Tika();
 static MimeTypes mimeTypes = TikaConfig.getDefaultConfig().getMimeRepository();

 static void processFile(Path p, Writer writer) throws IOException, MimeTypeException {
    String mimeString = tika.detect(p);
    MimeType mt = mimeTypes.forName(mimeString);
    writer.write(String.format("%s,%s,%s,%n",
            p.getFileName(),mimeString,mt.getExtension()));
}

You'll want to add exception handling, and it is always better to use a genuine CSV writer (see Apache Commons csv) than to "hope" than none of your data has a comma/newline or to roll your own.

Aesthetics vary, culturally. Some presented through sacred totems, some through designs in the sand, and others become a bit more transportable. Such as the traditional Dot Motif found in the Australian aboriginals. A tradition dating back to before humans were painting on walls in French caves. Historically, body art has played a major role in human culture. The ability to present one's self as different, "to stick out in the crowd." Not to camouflage the body, or to protect against the elements. Rather, to present one's self as beautiful; moreover, beautiful in the eyes of the culture, present a means of status, and to be noticed for the personal expression. This manner of thought is not how this artist's career began; however, it is where this artist now rests his roots in the tattoo arts.
I became a professional artist and educator. I decided to tattoo, however, it wasn't until I began showing my paintings in galleries and juried shows that I realized the impact tattoos have in comparison to paintings. While working on my Bachelors one of my professors told me that any reaction is better than no reaction at all. Meaning, no matter if a patron of the arts expresses their like or dislike about your work, it is a reaction. They still took the time out of their day to say something about the work. My two-dimensional paintings and drawings are examples of my need to stress the conservative western ideology of normalcy. I use a touch of naturalism, mostly using some sort of the human form to help allow the viewer to relate. A lot of movement and contrasting hues offer the viewer a means to follow the piece and more importantly to trap them in the work of art. However, I do not want the viewer to get an "easy read." I want the viewer to be trapped in a work of art, not letting them leave the picture plane. I attempt to do this in all my work, tattoos, paintings, and drawings. If the viewer cannot leave the work, then the message will be read, and meaning will eventually be understood. For example, even when tattooing a photo-realistic portrait, I always try to kick up the contrast, and over exaggerate some features to help trap the audience in the face. I mean, on average most people only look at a portrait for 13 seconds, anyway. So I have to do something to make the piece speak, because a portrait is more than just a face! Color, value, space, and emphasis is how I typically go about my creations. I love the smiles, and the questions marks from those that just don't get it. Any reaction is a good reaction.
Showing a painting in a juried show is extremely interesting, one may sell a painting, a few prints of the piece. Most of the time, the folks really enjoy looking, but don't particularly want to live with the piece, forever. The painting could be too large, too small, doesn't match the colors in the home, or content (message) of the piece may be a bit too eccentric. When a piece does sell, the artist really doesn't know where the piece goes, or how many people really get to enjoy the visual creation. I mean, I have an idea who has my paintings in their personal collections, but I've never been to their house. In contrast to a painting, a tattoo is a bit more literal. When a client walks in the door of the shop, they have an idea of subjects they want to see in their pieces. However, they really have no idea what I am going to draw up. I try to stay true to my stylistic mannerisms, and the clients understand. Many of my clients come to me with a paragraph from a piece of literature, some only one word and trust me to make it into something for them! Not for anyone else. In most instances, the client will receive the sketch of the tattoo to take with them, because I will never tattoo that exact piece, again. I love the challenge of making each piece unique, and I feel as though it helps that the client gets an original design, not one from the first Google search page. Can we say artistic integrity? Not artistic license to steal. Nevertheless, that tattoo will be with the person forever. The person cannot just take the art off of them, such like a painting on the wall. Every time one is out, the tattoo will be seen. If it is a private tattoo, every time one looks in the mirror, it will be seen. It is always there, ages with the host, and dies with the host. Let's think for a moment. How many pictures do you have on your home wall? Do you look at them every day? Do you take them with you every day? Even if they don't match the color scheme you're wearing that day? Even if a tattoo is removed, there will still be a lasting impression on the skin where it once was, and the memory of that tattoo will live in the mind of the client. Does a painting really have the same effect? To artsy fartsy people such as myself, they do, but to most it does not.
In recent months my life has changed drastically. I'm 6 credits from completing my Graduate degree. My awesome Wife, two beautiful children, and I moved back to Florida in early May of 2015. I took ownership of Hurricane tattoo and piercing, the first tattoo shop I ever worked in. Now called Modern Moose Studios, and have surrounded myself with humble artists to take this journey with me. Decided to walk away from art education, and finally become a working artist. Tattooing and owning the first shop I ever worked in is a bit surreal, even though everything has been changed. This is the place where my professional tattoo career began, and this is where I get to make it bigger and better than ever. Anything worth having definitely comes with hard work. I am no stranger to that, many more late nights in my future. However, all comes with gratitude to those who are willing to take the chance of wearing a piece that represents the personal aesthetic. There is no telling where my work will go, or what new techniques I will begin to experiment. Nevertheless, I do know, I decided to tattoo.

Since October 2015, Israel has escalated its human rights violations against Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), including through collective punishment measures and excessive use of force. The Israeli Occupying Forces (IOF) continue to disregard Palestinians' right to life through a shoot-to-kill policy. As of 9 March 2016, 182 Palestinians, including 44 children, were killed by the IOF and settlers since October 2015. Of the 182, at least 113 were killed for allegedly carrying out attacks. While many of these cases appear to amount to unlawful and extrajudicial killings, very few of them have been investigated. Further, the Israeli authorities have reinstated the practice of holding bodies of those killed as a mean of punishing their families.
An anonymous witness stated that he had been passing by before the shooting and saw Mus'ab sitting on a bench near Bab Al-Jadid. Within seconds, he saw two Israeli policemen on horseback going towards Mus'ab who had his hands up and seemed frightened. His palms were open and the witness claims that they were empty. Suddenly, the two policemen shot Mus'ab and he fell to the ground on his knees. The two policemen stepped down from their horses and came closer to Mus'ab and continued to shoot him with 4-5 bullets. Mus'ab then fell to the ground.
After he was killed, the Israeli authorities withheld Mus'ab's body for 65 days. The family was eager to receive the body and bury Mus'ab in dignity and find closure. On 7 February 2016, the families of Mus'ab and Ahmad Abu Sha'ban (who was killed by the IOF in October 2015) were summoned by the Israeli Intelligence to discuss conditions and terms for release of the bodies. The conditions were as follows: only 50 people would participate in the funeral from each family; a 20,000 shekel deposit was required from each family that was non-refundable in case any problems occurred during the funeral; the bodies would be delivered at Bab Al-Asbat (Herods Gate) in Jerusalem, and had to be immediately buried. Since Mus'ab's body was frozen while being held, the family asked that the body be removed from refrigeration 12 hours before the delivery. The Intelligence agreed and said that both bodies would be released four days later. However, the delivery of the bodies was delayed for no reason. Almost a week later, Ahmad's body was delivered to his family, but Israel continued to withhold Mus'ab's body.
The case of Mus'ab Al-Ghazali is emblematic of Israel's occupation generally and to the situation since October 2015 in particular. Israel regularly uses excessive force against Palestinians, often killing or seriously injuring individuals when lesser actions could be taken. Israel's unlawful killing of Palestinians violates the United Nations Basic Principles on the Use of Force and Firearms by Law Enforcement Officials, which states that "intentional lethal use of firearms may only be made when strictly unavoidable in order to protect life". As such, law enforcement officers must apply non-violent means before resorting to force and firearms. As Occupying Power, Israel is obliged to uphold these restrictions on the use of force and firearms and preserve and respect Palestinian right to life.
Al-Haq highlights that there are numerous cases of Palestinians killed since October 2015 who did not pose an imminent threat to the lives of the soldiers at the time of killing. According to the witness statement, Mus'ab's family's account, and given Mus'ab's condition, it is highly unlikely that he had intended to carry out an attack or posed imminent threat to the soldiers. In light of this, Israel must ensure prompt, impartial, independent, effective, and transparent investigations into the killing of Palestinians and hold all perpetrators accountable. Further, due to Israel's continued failure to carry out such investigations and respect the right to life of Palestinians, the international community must take effective measures to ensure the protection of the occupied Palestinian population.
As of today, 15 bodies, 13 of whom from Jerusalem, remain in Israeli custody: Hasan Kahled Manasrah, Tha'er Abd Al-Salam Abu Ghazaleh, Alaa Daoud Abu Jamal, Baha' Muhammad Alayyan, Mu'taz Ahmad Ewisat, Muhammad Abed Nimer, Omar Yasser Iskafi, Abd Al-Mohsen Shaher Hassouneh, Muhammad Ziyad Abu Khalaf, Fadwa Ahmad Abu Ter, Abd Al-Rahman Muhammad Radad, Bashar Muhammad Masalha, Fu'ad Rajab Al-Tamimi, Abd Al-Malek Saleh Abu Kharoub, and Muhammad Jamal Al-Kaloti.
The practice of withholding the bodies of the deceased violates international humanitarian and human rights law. According to the Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocol I, Israel has an obligation to return the remains of the deceased. This includes collecting, evacuating and burying the deceased. Additionally, under customary international humanitarian law parties of armed conflict must respect the dead. The burial conditions imposed on families obstruct the possibility of conducting investigations of the killing circumstances.


Due to the success of the standard edition, we were further commissioned to develop a special boxset which takes the idea of an ever-changing kaleidoscope further. Based on 3 different "modes" (Butterflies, Album Name, Photos), the kaleidoscope front cover revolves around to reveal 14 different variations, allowing the front cover to match whatever mood the user takes.
Our design was featured in several national newspapers and won the accolade of being named "this year's most beautifully designed CD packaging" by the Financial Times.


It just hangs like this indefinitely. It is the exact same issue seen here: https://github.com/couchbase/sync_gateway/issues/1314, except after several restarts of the server, sync gateway, and ubuntu, the problem still persists. Any idea what to do with this?
I would like to stay on Ubuntu but could move to Red Hat if I need to. Unfortunately those are the only two linux distros supported by the sync gateway now. Thanks in advance.
Can you tell us more about your setup? Is Couchbase running on the same machine as the SyncGateway?
Yes, they are both running on the same Ubuntu image in DigitalOcean. It only has 512mb of ram but that was never a problem before (I am still early in development).
The first time I installed everything worked as expected on DigitalOcean w/ 1G Ram. Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
Then suddenly it started with this behavior mentioned above and it never started the sync_gateway again.
Don't know what else to do to brig sync_gateway interfaces up and running.
But it doesnt when configured with the local server.
Tried many things. Last one was with an Ubuntu 12.04 x64 LTS digital ocean droplet (instead of 14.04 x64).
Installed the same Couchbase 4.0.0 Community and Sync Gateway 1.2 Community on that server.
Setup the sync gateway same as in the original post but the error persisted.
As a last attempt, before falling back to "walrus" in memory server, I created a second bucket with a different name for use with the sync_gateway database.
Updated the config.json to use it. Restarted the sync gateways service… And guess what? It worked!!!
The interface services were started successfully on 4984 and 4985 as shown below.
Examining the buckets I noticed the bucked named "sync_gateway" was created with 4Mb and pre-filled with "" where the new one had only around 400K.
Could it be there is some hardcoded handling for the bucket named as "sync_gateway"?
Thank you for the insight, changing the name to something other than sync_gateway also fixed the problem for me! Ironically, I originally had it named something different, but I had a different problem (which I have since resolved), so I had changed it back to sync_gateway in an attempt to solve that problem.

Track Review: New York Safety Track
The original plan for the weekend was to race my brother Mario's Miata at Calabogie in the AER series but the car wasn't ready so we made alternate plans and took his street Miata on an HPDE safari. While racing is always a great rush, the first few laps at a new track are such a special experience that I didn't mind the change in plans. The first track we hit was New York Safety Track (NYST). NYST is a relatively unknown track that caters more to motorcycles than cars. It's a family run business that's been open for only a few years. It looks great on paper/video so I was eager to check it out.
My normal preparation for driving a new track is to run a bunch of laps on a simulator. Laser scanned tracks are accurate to the centimeter, so you have a pretty good idea of how to drive the track when you get there. But real life is always a little different than virtual. You perceive elevation changes much more in person, for example. But there are other, more subtle differences that add up to a unique 'feel' in the real world that can't be duplicated in simulation.
Unfortunately, NYST doesn't exist in the simulator world, so I couldn't prepare that way. So I did my homework by watching youtube videos, marking up track maps, and imagining myself driving the track. There's a saying that no battle plan survives contact with the enemy. It's sort of like that with track preparation. What may seem like an ideal line on paper can be suboptimal in real life. So whenever I go to a new track, my main goal is to explore the space a little. As a result, I overdrive the car a little rather than trying to optimize lap times.
Here's what I wrote ahead of time about NYST. In red are comments I made afterward. Video follows text.
T1-T2: The T1-T2 combo is taken as an increasing radius turn with a lot of slowing early and then full throttle as soon as possible. The main straight climbs gradually into the braking zone. The apex is right at the peak of the hill, at which point the track turns down and opens. It's important to get on the throttle early and use the whole track while unwinding the steering.
The braking point is ludicrously deep. You can brake at the 100 marker and then flick it over the hill.
T3: Double-apex carousel that is half descending and half ascending. Set up wide at the entrance, brake through the first apex, maintain throttle through middle, and gas it out to the exit, but be careful because there is no exit apron (here or anywhere).
As expected, the exit pinches in, so you want to let the car drift left a bit before hitting the second apex.
T4-T5: Flat out. T4 and T5 are slight bends right and then left, but the racing line is straight through. The apex of T5 is slightly blind.
T6: Another descending-ascending double-apex carousel. Unlike T3, the apexes are really far apart and the track-out is held tight to set up for T7.
I liked this as a double apex rather than holding a tight line. I feel like the exit speed is better. Too bad I didn't have my RumbleStrip with me to test.
T7: Flat out. T7 is a blind right-handed bend that should require no turning if the exit of T6 is held correctly.
This turn feels a little like Buttonwillow Phil Hill. Turn it in before the hill and just go straight over.
T8: This is the highest speed corner of the track. Set up track right on entrance and stay mid-track at the exit to get ready for the esses ahead.
T9-T11: Rolling esses. As soon as you pass the apex of T8, get the car straight and unloaded. The braking zone to T9 is short. Brake just a touch into the hill. T9 is a blind right-hander that is quickly followed by T10 (left) and T11 (right). Like any esses, sacrifice the exits, except for the last one. Track all the way out of T11.
There are two ways to handle this complex. You can shift down to 3rd before or after 9. My guess is staying in the high gear is better because downshifts often end up with too much braking. But downshifting before gives you a great run up to 11.
T12: Descending decreasing radius 120. The track will start to descend before the braking zone to T12. It's tighter and longer than it looks and continues downward. Get rid of speed early since it's dangerous to do so mid-corner. Stay tight the whole way around.
The corner is so damn long that it's possible to brake through some of the corner. It is off-camber, so you don't want to run too wide. This was a surprisingly fun corner.
T13-T14: Long left. One might think of this pair as a single decreasing radius turn, but the exit of 14 is kinked, so there's no point in holding out for a fast exit. Just go around on the inside and manage traction. It's possible a double apex line is best.
The geometry of the turn invites oversteer, which you can see in the video.
T15: Sharp 90. This sets up the climbing section, so the exit is important, especially in a momentum car. The entrance is kinked. Should one try to get all the way track right, which requires additional braking, or does one enter mid-track at higher speed? In either case, running out of room at the exit will hurt because there is no apron.
It's a slow rotation corner, so optimize the angle by getting as far right as possible before the turn.
T16: Flat out. T15 is so slow that the slight right bend at T16 is not much of a turn. Run over the berm here and the next turn.
T17: Uphill. This is the steepest part of the track. Maintain as much speed as possible with an early apex and fight to keep all the momentum and traction as you continue up. Use as much track as you can.
T18: Cresting left. The braking zone is before the crest of the hill, as is the apex. It doesn't start to flatten out until the exit. Exit speed is crucial since the main straight follows. So the apex must be late enough that you don't have to cut throttle if you start heading into the grass on the exit. The apex berm and blind nature of the corner conspire to make you want to take an early apex, but wait on it.
Indeed, the corner invites an early apex, but be disciplined and wait for it.
NYST is a fantastic track. I'm ranking it as my 3rd favorite track behind Thunderhill West and Sonoma. Despite the 'Safety' in it's name, I don't think NYST is especially safe. Some of the trees are a little to close to the track. Also, the motorcycles drive way too fast in the paddock.
OMG, I tilt my head so much when driving. I've got some homework to do there.

One thought on "Track Review: New York Safety Track"
Mario Korf says:
Also worth noting is that we were trying out Yok S.Drives 195/50 on 15x7s. We have these as rain tires for the race car, and wanted to test the dry weather traction. They were about 4-5 seconds slower than other 200 TW tires I've tried at NYST. Kind of disappointing, but they are predictable and work as a daily driver and DE tire. Wouldn't do an endurance race on them, though. Also, the red neoprene seat covers and matching door cards look bitchin. I did a nice job on that!@

3 cities kept schools open during the 1918 pandemic. Experts say 2020 is different.

HomeNational News3 cities kept schools open during the 1918 pandemic. Experts say 2020 is different.
By: ELLA TORRES, ABC News
(NEW YORK) — When the influenza pandemic struck America in 1918, most cities responded with measures that included closing schools.
Yet three cities — New York, Chicago and New Haven, Connecticut — vowed to remain open.
The schools had extensive public health programs in place and argued that keeping students in school was "an opportunity to implement the public health strategies of school medical inspection and intensified disease surveillance," according to a public health report published in 2010.
Now, more than a century later, as society faces the same question of whether to reopen schools during a pandemic, experts warn that what allowed those three cities to stay open in 1918 is no longer viable.
Dr. Howard Markel, a co-author of the report and a distinguished professor of the history of medicine at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health, told ABC News that the situations "differ in a billion ways," namely that there is still little known about the coronavirus and there is no longer an emphasis on public health in schools.
"There was a system in place that has long been dismantled," Markel said.
In New York City, then-health commissioner Dr. Royal S. Copeland had relied almost entirely on isolation and quarantine to stop the spread of the virus, but was eventually convinced to keep schools open by Dr. S. Josephine Baker, director of the Department of Health Bureau of Child Hygiene, according to the 2010 public health report.
Baker, a leading reformer in the Progressive era, when officials and experts put more of an emphasis on expanding public programs in health and education, believed that many students would be safer in school than out.
At the time, 75% lived in tenements with crowded and unsanitary conditions that made it easier for infections to spread, according to the report.
In the schools, students underwent routine inspections, the report noted. Teachers looked for signs of a respiratory condition, such as runny noses, red eyes, sneezing or coughing.
If students displayed any symptoms, they were moved to an isolation room where they were inspected by a health professional and, if feverish, sent home or to a hospital if their home was a potential hotspot for spread.
In Chicago, the city's health commissioner, John Dill Robertson, believed the schools would be able to build off their "already well-developed school medical inspection program," according to the public health report.
Robertson coordinated with Dr. C. St. Claire Drake, the state director of health, on a regular basis to develop regulations and plans of action. School health officers and nurses also visited the homes of students who were absent and informed the families of proper procedures for isolation and care.
Chicago suffered greater absenteeism than New York City, which Robertson attributed to "fluphobia."
New Haven's health officer, Dr. Frank W. Wright, also was among those who urged schools to remain open.
Wright argued that children would "be safer in the well-ventilated schools where physicians and nurses worked full time to identify sick children and send them home for proper care," according to the 2010 report.
In early October, about a month after the pandemic struck, health and school officials agreed children should stay in school to keep them from congregating elsewhere without supervision and to minimize their exposure to infected adults.
Markel and another co-author of the report, Dr. Alexandra Stern, made a point to note that the influenza outbreak and novel coronavirus outbreak are not the same epidemiologically.
Though the 1918 outbreak was severe, health experts knew much more about influenza than they do now about the novel coronavirus — and its effects on children.
A recent study out of South Korea found that children younger than 10 years old transmitted COVID-19, the disease caused by the respiratory virus, to others much less often than did adults, although the risk is not zero. Those aged 10 to 19 spread the virus at about the same rate as adults, according to the study.
Another study out of the United Kingdom found that children younger than 18 were not as adversely affected by COVID-19 as adults.
Markel put it simply: "The key word in this novel coronavirus is 'novel.' It's new."
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has swayed on reopening schools. Originally, the federal agency warned of the risks that come with reopening schools and issued recommendations. But on Thursday, two weeks after President Donald Trump demanded schools reopen, the CDC shifted its tone and released statements about children not being at a high risk of getting seriously ill, though its original guidance still remained on its website.
Markel also said that detailed responses like those available in 1918 would be unlikely or just not possible today because so much funding has been cut for public health programs.
"Over the past several decades, financial cutbacks to public education have severely impacted public health programs, reducing the number of school nurses and resources for activities such as physical education," according to the 2010 study.
Stern called most public schools "woefully underfunded," with most having "one rotating nurse who will move between five public schools."
"The bottom line is that the public health infrastructure that was built into schools as they expanded in the early 20th century has been chipped away at and dismantled to a great extent," Stern said.
As of 2018, the most recent data available on school nurses, there were 95,776 working full time across the U.S., according to the National Association of School Nurses. With around 50.8 million students in public schools, that is about one nurse for every 530 students.
Statistics like this show how difficult it would be for routine medical inspections, let alone practices adopted in Chicago like how nurses visited the homes of absent students.
Markel and Stern, however, acknowledged the complexity of the issue, saying that for many children school is not just a place for education.
"The best reasons, or the most compelling reasons, of wanting kids to go to school is that they live in an unsafe environment — and school nutrition," Markel said, though he noted some school districts have vowed to deliver meals.
He's of the mindset that school is "not a good idea right now."
Stern felt similarly, saying there are "so many unanswered questions."
"And when there are unanswered questions about a deadly virus," Stern added, "one could argue that it makes most sense to follow the precautions principle, which is, 'Do the least harm.""
