South of M street between 2d and 4th streets southeast, are a few building squares, two of which are one the Anacostia river, or Eastern branch, and at one time they were the center of commercial activity.
In the infancy of the city this section had St. Thomas bay on the east side, but when the navy yard was extended to 4th street the last vestige of the bay disappeared. On the west was a small stream which had its rise near the south line of Garfield Park. With the surface water it broadened and before it reached the Anacostia some portions of the building lots fronting on Canal, or 2d street, were under water. When the canal, authorized by the act of the Maryland legislature in 1795, was projected, this stream came within the lines and was by it absorbed.
The canal has had its day, and on its site and grass plots and the pumping plant of the District. A complete metamorphosis has been worked. The mouth of this stream became the rapacious basin of the canal and with the water front affording the wharfage, owned by Carroll originally, and Law, Barry and other early promoters becoming interested, this section was one of the leading neighborhoods a hundred years ago.
The wharves known as Blagden's, Barry's and Coombe's, in the old days the landings for sailing vessels, were much used afterward by steamers, and there are numbers who recall how the East Washington people too steamers there for excursions down the river before the days of river resorts, and for the camp meetings at Bumpy Oak, near Glymont or Scagg's of Pyle's woods, up the branch.
In the presidential campaign of 1840 the Jacksonian democracy, several hundred in number, took a steamer here for a barbecue at Bladensburg, and without mishap returned at night.
Though there was some marsh about this section much of the ground was several feet above the present grade. Some of the original terra firma, especially that of the streets, was long since converted into bicks and used elsewhere. It may be said that from Georgia avenue northward there was a gentle ascent to the street when the ground sloped and some marsh was encountered. This may be designated as the southeast corner of the Carroll tract, and it became in the plan of Washington squares 770, 771, 801 and 802, with south of Georgia avenue, No. 803 designated a water lot.
In the division between the proprietors, Mr. Carroll and the United States, the whole of square 770 went to the latter in 1796 number 771, of seven loots, in 1797 was apportioned to James Barry; lot 1, the south part of the square to the United States, lots 2, 3 and 6, the northwest part, to Carroll; lots 5, 6 and 7, the northeast portion and number 801, of twenty lots, went to Mr. Carroll, and of the nine lots in square 802 Mr. Carroll had numbers 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, the east portion, and the United States the rest.
Square 770, between the canal and 2d street an M and N streets, was in the hands of Morris, Greenleaf and Law before 1797, when Mr. Carroll owned the lots fronting M street, Nos. 1 and 2. In 1798 R. Grigley owned lots 5 and 6 on Canal street, covenanting with Law to build a two-story brick house before the year 1800. No improvement is noted here in the first quarter of the century.
In 1801 John Keaglar had a lease in lot 4 facing Canal street, and in 1804 he assigned lease of house and lot to H. Tietjen for $200. In 1818 this went to Alex. Cochran. James Middleton had a lease in lot 1, 18 feet front at $18 per year, which he redeemed.
In 1826 the corporation valued the ground at 4 cents per foot, and the improvements were assessed as follows: Lot 3, J. Kreaglar, $150 changed to A. Cochran, $100; lot 4, Wilson Bryan, $300, reduced to $200; lot 4, Wilson Bryan, $300, reduced to $200; lot 7, Ephram Mills, $600; lot 9, Wm. Howard, $700. All these were on the canal. Lot 1, northwest corner of 3d and M streets, James Middleton, $850.
In 1807 Nathaniel Brady leased in lot 14, and the following year Thomas Allen was in 11 and 12, on 3d street, and Joseph Varden bought in lot 1, corner 3d and N streets. In 1809 Mr. Tietjen bought in lot 10, corner of 3d and M streets, and T. Howard bought in the southeast corner of the square. J. W. Lowe had a lease in lot 15. In 1809, and in 1811 D. Kealy and Albin Howe had leases nearby on 3d street, and D. Cooke had a deed in lot 4 on the canal. In 1814 Joseph Johnson was in part of lot 16, and W.R. Maddox, the following year, came on lots 11 and 12. In 1816 Ariminta Bean was on lot 15, and in 1821 S.N. Smallwood owned at the southeast corner of the square.
About 1825 the corporation valued the ground at 4 cents per foot, and improvements were charged to Thos. Howard, $1,500; S.N. Smallwood, $700; Varden's heirs, $1,900; D. Cook, $100; Joseph Johnson, $175, G. Bean, $150; W.R. Maddox, $600; W. Barnes, $200; H. Tietjen, $1,000 and E. Booth, $150.
In ten years there was slight increase of the value of the ground, six cents being the minimum.
The square opposite, between 3d, 4th, and N streets of thirty two lots, was slow in growth, and for years was unproductive, save that the taxes on ground valued at three and four cents per foot went into the coffers of the corporation. The first conveyance in the square was that of Mr. Carroll to the corporation of Washington, on April 9, 1807, of lots 13 and 14, fronting on 3d street, on condition that a warehouse be erected upon it. The councils by act of November 10, 1806, authorized the mayor to receive this, and appropriated $2,000 for the construction of a warehouse with a capacity of 600 hogsheads of tobacco, and in May following provided for the appointment of an inspector.
In November of that year the corporation went into the tobacco inspection business, and for many years Samuel P. Lowe was the inspector, his compensation being $1 for each hogshead inspected and $100 for the care of the premises.
In 1811 Griffith Coombe bought lots 4 to 7 on N street, nearly half the south front, but no improvement appears here except one of less than a hundred dollars. In 1819 Mr. Coombe made a subdivision of these lots into A, B, C, etc., and in 1825 sold subdivisions A and B to W.R. Maddox, who was taxed on $2,200 improvements that year, and on $2,500 later; while the ground was valued at 5 to 8 cents. In 1832 Thomas Howard had lot 12, on 3d street, Mr. Coombe's lots adjoining, 18 to 22 on M street, and 28 to 30 on 4th street. In 1836 George B. Smith had 15 and 17 on 3d and M streets, and Mr. Maddox, 1 to 4 on M street, eight on 3d street, 24 to 27, 31 and 32 on 4th street, and in 1839 D.S. Griswold, 19 to 22, on M street.
The initial valuation of the ground was 6 cents, in four years reduced to 5 cents.
The improvements were valued as follows: Craig Crawford et al., $5,000, lots 1 and 2, and Berg Waters, $2,000, lot 3, in 1802. In 1807 P. Miller was assessed $4,000 on lot 6, and Craig et al., $4,000 on lot 7. In the 20's and 30's the ground was valued at 10 cents and under and the improvements were charged as follows: Barry and Coombe, $4,500, reduced to $400 in 1835, and on wharf, $1,800; E.B. Caldwell, $2,500, reduced to $1,800; George Sanford, $250, reduced to $1,800; Eli Cross, $150; Bank of Washington, $1,400 and Foyles, $100.
In square 802 facing Georgia avenue, between 3d and 4th streets, below N street, nine lots were platted and allotted, 4 to 7 to the United States and the balance to the government in 1795. In 1796 James R. Dermott bought lot 7, on 3d street, and the next year found Thomas Law in possession of lots 4 to 6, the southwest part of the square. Mr. Carroll had lot 7 and lot 6 went to W. Moffatt and Ebenezer Nesmith. The latter were house joiners and builders, and improved many lots for Mr. Law and others and lot 6 went to them on account of work. When the partnership was dissolved title in this lot was vested in Mr. Nesmith. This lot was improved, and in 1806 became the property of Thomas Wheat and appears listed at $900 in 1806, the ground being rated at 5 and 6 cents. At this time the southwest corner of the square, lots 4 to 6 was leased by James D. Barry and Griffith Coombe, who bought full title some years later.
Thomas Blagden in 1802 bought lots 1, 2 and 3, with water rights to the channel extending about 150 feet. In 1806 Joseph Varden bought in lot 8. In 1813 Col. Wharton of the Marine Corps bought lot 6 at the corner of 3d street and Georgia avenue with wharfage rights. S. Stephens had a lease in lot 7 on 3d street and Edward Mattingly had a deed in the same lot in 1815. Mr. Coombe acquired title to lot 6, which included Wharton's wharf. S.N. Smallwood in 1821 acquired subdivisions of lots 4 and 5, east of Mr. Coombe's corner, and his wharf and lumber yard were soon well-known. The next year Mr. Mattingly bought lots 7, 8 and 9, which included the corner of 3d and N streets, and in 1830 Mary Van Reswick bought 8 and 9, at the corner.
In the thirties Thomas Blagden bought the water right of lots 4, 5 and 6, thus having the whole water front. N. Brady had subdivisions of 4 and 5 fronting on Georgia avenue and George B. Smith had lot 8 on 3d street.
In the twenties and thirties the ground had a value of 8 to 10 cents, and the improvements were listed as follows: George Blagden, $3,750, later $5,000; S.N. Smallwood, $1,900; wharf, $1,800; Mr. Coombe, $1,900, afterward $2,500; Rachel Wheat, $1,500; Wharton's heirs, $4,000; G. Mattingly, $5,000; Van Reswick, $1,000.
Great expectations prevailed as to the future of this section, for, with fine wharfage sites on the south and the basin of the canal on the west, a profitable trade was counted on.
Communication with the Navy Yard, Greenleaf's point and capitol Hill was early enjoyed, for wagon roads furnished thoroughfare, and the streams were crossed at M and N streets by bridges,, and a ferry was established with the south shore. Capt. Barry, before 1798, erected the storehouse now represented by "Castle Thunder," on 2d street and Georgia avenue, and this, with other property, was sold to Ross Simpson of Philadelphia, and later to Crawford & Co. Peter Miller, whose bakery turned out large quantities of ship's biscuit, was on 2d street for a few years, afterward moving to 3d street, selling the 2d street property to Berg Waters. Griffith Coombe appeared on the scene about 1806, when, with James D. Barry, nephew of the captain and afterward Mr. Coombe's son-in-law, he leased a dwelling on Georgia avenue, east of 3d street. Mr. Coombe took up his residence in the house known by his name today.
G. Blagden had, in 1802, bought the east part of the square between 3d and 4th streets. Thus the wharves were owned by Barry between 2d and 3d streets for years, and Barry & Coombe and Mr. Blagden owned between 3d and 4-1/2 streets. The Barry & Coombe wharf was, from 1813 to 1816, the property of Col. Wharton, then going to Mr. Coombe. In 1821 S.N. Smallwood bought in the lots east and a wharf was known by his name, but in the thirties Mr. Blagden owned the whole water front of the square.
The lumber yards of Coombe, Blagden and Smallwood were here, as well as Dyer's saw and planing mill.
In the twenties Henry Tietjen, who came here in 1795 and was connected with the Law sugar refinery, was keeping a grocery at the southeast corner of 3d and M streets, in the house still standing. His descendants are now known as the Teachems. On the southeast corner of 3d and K streets was Joseph Fugitt's grocery, and below were the store and tavern of E. Mattingly and the stores of William Radcliffe. Among others on 3d street there were William Barnes, George bean, E. and S. Booth, Thomas Howard and W.R. Maddox, who was at the northeast corner of 3d and N streets. He was the father of Dr. John Maddox and Capt. W.S. Maddox of the Marine Corps, and was a pioneer in the brickmaking business, both here and north of the Navy Yard.
On 4th street were Mrs. Charles, Mrs. Sarah F. Boyce, F. Burley and King & Foyle's slaughterhouse. Facing the canal was Joseph Johnson's wheelwright shop.
On Georgia avenue resided George Sanford and John Ferguson, the former a wood and coal measurer and the latter clerk at Smallwood's wharf.
Twenty years later, in the forties, Williams & Jolly had a wood yard near the corner of Georgia avenue and 3d street, and the store was conducted by them. Capt. Jolley lived north, as did Dr. James Coombe, in the Coombe mansion. George B. Smith, brickmaker; and M. Williams, Wilford Van Riswick, long a carpenter and builder; Amon Woodward, who in early life was the contractor for sinking wells, etc.; J.H. Wise, plasterer; John Wheat, printer, descendant of an old settler; H. Teachem, carpenter, from old stock; George Bean, a grocer; and E. Mattingly, who kept a tavern and grocery, were also on 3d street.
On N street was Blagden's lumber yard and George Moore, A. Emerson and W. Bary. On M street were William Bayliss and George Collard, the latter a native of Carrollsburg, engaged for very many years in the lumber business. On the canal was Thomas N. Fugitt and on Georgia avenue Nathaniel Brady and John Ferguson, then a wood corder, long a clerk on Smallwood's wharf, also the saw and planing mill of Alexander Dyer.
In the twenties there were the taverns and grocery of Edward Mattingly and the grocery of Joseph Fugitt.

ISS Fleet HQ recreation Plaza

Location:nr Prague, Czech Republic
Interests:A christian, like juggling, languages (especially czech), most sports (esp. athl
A full description of the plaza can be found here
and it will be used as the roleplaying background for friendly fleet matches (i.e. no one can get killed, because it's all played out on the sports deck simulator)
[/rp]
Tacops Commander Remo Williams' imposing presence created a stir as he stepped through the east entrance to the food court, where he was enthusiastically greeted by Strategic Commander Zwycky.
"Welcome aboard, Remo! Glad you could make it. The Fighter duel scenario is set up as you sopecified, listed under 'Fighter duel gamma'. Our sectioon of the sports deck is being cleared and sweeped as we speak , and I'll meet you there in two hours. In the meantime, feel free to to take in the sights. You can head there early if you like to accustom yourself to the interface, but there's not much to learn. Just put on the suit, choose your scenario, then choose your fighter craft as you would from Miscon and deploy. From then on, it's just like the real thing, only no-one get's hurt. There'll be a few people following the action," Ben added, indicating the gathering crowd watching the pre-match build-up on one of the big screens. "Good luck to you." Ben concluded, extending his hand.
Guest Remo Williams
While IÔÇÖm not a RP writer in any sense IÔÇÖll attempt to play along here a little bit so please bare with me.
[RP]
Shaking Bens hand Remo looks up at the big screen capturing the event. ÔÇ£Nice place you have here Ben I look forward to trying out some of the food before my departure". "My staff has been talking about this place for weeks now I can see why." "If youÔÇÖll just have someone show me to my quarters so I can prepare for our simulation it would me much appreciated.ÔÇØ
Remo turns and looks off across the plaza at the entrance to the beer garden. ÔÇ£On second thought IÔÇÖll check out my quarters later Ben.ÔÇØ ÔÇ£Lets go sample some of the house best to loosen up a bit first,ÔÇØ Remo said, as he started off across the plaza with his security escort.
[rp] "Well, if you think that'll help. Sorry I can't join you in a beer, teetotal since birth, but I'll have a pineapple juice to wet my whistle."
The two chatted about the general situation in galcom and their families back home, and time passed quickly.
The match build up on the screen came to a crescendo and the two stood and marched side by side throughn the south passage like two great gladiatorial heroes into the great circus, amid cheers of approval from various locations in the food court.
Five minutes later, they were in their cubicles and 'deployed' in their chosen craft. They jumped to the Castrin arena and Remo made the first move.
Then followed a flurry of laser bolts, missiles, tight turn and rolls resulting in slight damage to both fighter craft, but no decisive winner, and the two warriors disengaged. Then it was Ben's turn to charge in for another barrage of gunfire and spectacular manoeuvres that kept the audience in rapt attention before another disengagement. Ben then threw a little ploy and Remo took a chance but misjudged his jump, leaving him at the mercy of Ben's guns, which customarily showed none. This caused triumphant cheers and celebratory chants to erupt from the ISS contingent of the audience.
Both contestants shook hands after the contest and both were heartily applauded by all present. It had been a worthy display to inaugurate the new fleet season.

Interests:Every other thing like BCM and Jumpgate
Spotting Str. Cmdr. Williams departing the arena, Cmdr. Grayson rushed to meet his commanding officer.
Upon reaching his target he let out his hand and shook hands, "Well done, sir. I didn't know you had that much experience flying a fighter. That was just fantastic."
Facing Str. Cmdr. Ben Zwycky, "This is a terrific facility you have, not many stations have Irish Soda Bread, but their have Irish Whiskey. I'd love to talk to you more about the development process, if you could spare the time, sir."
Ben turned to face the enthusiastic greeting from a voice that was somehow familiar. Matching the face to the voice made the connection click. Ah yes, of course, Prime fleet's public relations officer.
"Well thank you, Commander Grayson. It was a lot of work, yes, but well worth it, I'm sure you agree. Finding decent Gammulan and Valkerie chefs with clean security backgrounds was a real chore, I can tell you. What would you like to know?"
"Well, sir. I don't want to get into the specifics now, I'll just send you a message of some of the questions and ideas I have." replied Cmdr. Grayson
He looks around and glances at a sign that read Psi-Deck in big letters over a doorway.
"Pardon me, gentlemen. But something just caught my eye. I'll send you that message soon, sir." With that said Cmdr. Grayson walked off into the direction of the Psi-Deck.

Three engineers from a visiting Earthcom cruiser wandered into Renegade's recreation plaza and took in sights. One pointed at the Psi-deck's large view screen. Private First Class Mitch Falstaf's stomach growled. "Let's get some chow." He led the others into the food court.
Ben jogged from the sports deck to the lockers to collect his bag and then found himself an unoccupied shower cubicle. He stepped into the room, locked the door behind him and undressed, then moved on through the sliding doors to the cylindrical tornado shower unit itself. As he stepped through, a digitised voice gently announced,
"Adjusting interface," the four sets of four large jet nozzles traversing vertically with a gentle hum and click to be at the same height as his major muscle groups.
"Full access recognised. Please select program," it requested, and Ben chose the 'standard shower' option from the waterproof touchscreen in front of him. Water sprayed down through a central set of nozzles from the ceiling at a pleasant temperature. He looked up and let it fall into his face and then looked down to feel the spray on the back of his neck and shoulders.
"Not bad, let's try some of the other options, let's see... power shower," and pressed the relevant 'button'. Immediately the flow changed to a much more intense pulsing spray that gently massaged his shoulders.
"Nice," he enjoyed the sensation for a few seconds, then looked up at the screen again.
"How about... gentle rain?" And selected the option. A flow about the same strength as the 'standard shower' now came from nozzles spread across the whole of the ceiling, so there was no escape from the water.
"Interesting, I guess 'driving rain' will be the power shower equivalent of this, then," a short test confirmed this suspicion.
"What next? Let's try 'full body massage'," and a button press later the power shower flow was back at the central region, together with a similar pulsed flow from the sixteen horizontal jets that massaged up and down his calves, thighs, abdomen and chest region from four directions at once.
"Ooh, that's good, I'll have to come back to this one," then shut it down and looked at the last two items on the list, "Full body wash, that'll be a gentler form of what I just did and then there's - tornado. Well, I'm intrigued..." and selected it.
'This will initiate the tornado program for ten seconds. Are you sure?' Appeared in the middle of the screen.
"Okay, now I'm really intrigued, and a little scared, but..." and selected yes. A warning on the screen told him to stand in the centre of the floor and a five-second countdown appeared, but didn't begin until two solid-looking cylindrical handles slowly moved out from the wall to a comfortable arms length from him and then locked in place. The nozzles on the sixteen jets all widened and then the count began. Ben gulped and took the hint, grabbing firmly onto the handles and bracing himself.
As soon as the count finished, extremely powerful jets surged out of all of the nozzles at once, buffeting his body like he had never experienced before, the ten second duration suddenly seeming a lot longer than normal, and then they stopped just as suddenly, leaving Ben shaking and panting.
"Whoa," he coughed, "wow. I think that's enough experimenting for now," and then went back to the normal shower setting to finish.
On redressing and exiting the cubicle, he now had a large appetite and so headed for the food court.
Private Julian Pavel approached the counter as his companions found their seats. "My friends and I'd like your random breakfast menu item, complete with drinks. Surprise us." The barkeep glanced at him while filling a previous order. "ID please." Julian interfaced his Vanguard Fleet enlistment authenticator with the machine on the counter. "Alright, Julian. Thanks. I'll send it right over to your table." Pavel nodded at him and headed back to their table.
Meanwhile back at their table, "It's nice to get some time off the ship, isn't it Marisa?" Mitch said as he leaned back and rested his head in his hands. "I don't know, Mitch. You seemed to be enjoying 'fixing' the mid turboshaft over and over again." Mitch rolled his eyes. "I never actually finished, but was called away each time." Lance Corporal Marisa Valverde, nodded and gazed out the food court's main enerance into the plaza's central expanse which was large enough to house their entire ship. "Who's that Galcom officer headed this way?" she said and Mitch shrugged. "That's Prime Fleet Executive Officer dennymala." offered Julian as he approached from the other direction.
Ben, check your PM at ICC. Anyone is welcome to join in anytime.
[rp]Ben approached the East African food stand and ordered a plate of posho and goat stew with a bowl of sliced mango and pineapple and a bunch of four pygmy bananas, with a jug and large glass of passion fruit juice to wash it down. He carried his tray towards the central fountain, but on his way there noticed three individuals wearing Earthcom insignia and so changed course to 'intercept' them,
"Please allow me to welcome you all, I'm not sure I've seen any Earthcom personnel here before, are you the first? Please make yourselves at home, what do you think of our little establishment?" he inquired with a grin.
The main turbo-lift doors opened to the food court area. The doors, opened, awaited the occupants inside.
With a hard shove, the marine maneuvered the prisoner outside the lift, towards the empty tables within the food court.
It was a grand, circular hall, with high ceilings. Several shops and resturants circled the plaza, many of which were closed, with very few people about. Five marines stood tall about a lone prisoner... the prisoner, hand-cuffed with molecular-energy restraints.
The five marines separated, securing the area, as was their training, and stood at ease. The prisoner looked around his surrounding. It was better then where he came from, but he was still in chains, so it didn't really matter to him either way. They led him towards a collection of metal tables and made him stop.
He was smaller the the marines around him. Much smaller. He had been born with an edge...though he couldn't recall it. It was lost to him...he couldn't remember...
Half Human and half Gammulan, his natural appearance frigtened most humanoids...frightened those marines... Something to do with old age religions and demons, or some such nonsence. But he fit the bill, so he played the part...at least iinstinctively... They feared him, though he could not remember why. He had done nothing to them...or he could not remember...
Five years in solitary confinement had changed his conceptions. Alone for so many years, he had learned a great many things. About himself, and about his place...but he did remember.. his ship destroyed, his friends dead..and yet he still lived..unable to find death...death avoided him...death hated him..this at least, he knew...
He had learned much, yet knew nothing ..most of all, he knew nothing of this place..or why he was here...and why he was still in chains.
The marine, closest to him, unlocked the restraints. Blood returned to his wrists with needle point sharpness. He rubbed them. Instictively, he lowered his center of gravity, not knowing why, but remembering...something.
He stared at the marine..waiting...
The marine stared back, gathereing the restraints and placing them in pocket of his battle uniform.
Placing a 50 credit note of the metal table beneath him, the marine turned back towards the turbo-lift. The other marines ran to join him. Not a word was said.
Shingen was free,
but lost in a world he didn't comprehend...
Derek, if you don't want me here, then kill the post and ban me..leave everyone else alone. Otherwise, I'm going to join the community and RP here.
The recreation plaza is not open to the public, it is a high-security recreation area, only for galcom and allied staff and diplomats. There is no way a dangerous prisoner would be released there. SC was very clear in his instructions, please do not cause any trouble.
sorry.. no trouble here.
Nothing in this thread states that it is "closed to the public".
In future, be more specific.
I was just trying to add a little "flavor" to the whole scene.
Sorry you didn't appreciate the effort.
Again, I stand corrected.
This thread is open to participation fom everyone, just the description of the plaza linked to in the first post includes the fact that it is just for rp characters that are Galcom staff or diplomats from other alliances, though looking at it again, I neglected to add that info in the main 'what is this place?' description, just in the ISS Fleet Information Centre description (which I really need to elaborate on and do a diagram for like I did for most of the rest of the areas). This is my fault for which I apologise.
The only way in to the Plaza is via the fleet information centre, there is a main elevator lobby leading to a row of security checkpoints through to the information centre, so that anyone with a clean security background can enter that. At the other end of the centre is another row of security checkpoints leading to the plaza itself, restricting entrance to that to Galcom or allied staff and recognised diplomats. All elevators within the plaza itself are purely internal to the plaza complex and don't link to teh rest of the station (with the exception of service elevators to the food stands linking to the floor below, which is where food supplies are brought in and is only accessible to plaza staff). In an emergency, people can be transported out if the main entrance is blocked.
The information centre itself is comprised of two floors, the main ground floor is a large botanical water garden with various pools, waterfalls, trees, flowers and paths, benches in some places and tables and chairs in others. There are also some information terminals in various corners. Access to the transparent upper floor (half the size of the lower floor) is via glass elevators or a wide transparent staircase with a waterfall cascading down inside it. On the upper floor are some basic food stands (offering the lower end of the Earth menus found in the food court, a large communal area with tables and chairs and some manned information and recruiting desks.
If you want access to the plaza you can be a diplomat for an alien nation, a representative of a corporation, a terran sports star coming for a contest on the sports deck, as long as your character has a clean security background.
Your effort is appreciated, it just unfortunately doesn't fit in this setting.
OK, there is a way to include Shingen's contribution without endangering those wanting to enjoy the plaza:
"Are there any signs that he noticed the transition?"
"Not so far, sir, scenario Chi Lambda Six is running smoothly, he was tranquillised while in a normal phase of sleep and only transferred into the cubicle and hooked up to the simulator once his vital signs were stable. He is heavily restrained, though will not notice that since the psi-deck interface overrides his normal sensations with simulated ones corresponding to the virtual environment. We have a UPS and backup generator on standby to avoid power loss issues and are monitoring his vital signs carefully for any signs of rejection. His liquid nutripack feed and catheter tube lead out of the cubicle, meaning it does not have to be opened except in an emergency, and the cubicle is heavily barricaded and soundproofed. Should an unavoidable issue arise, the cubicle will be flooded with anaesthetic gas before simulation shutdown."
"Very good, lieutenant, carry on, you will be relieved in four hours, then file a report on his activities."
"Yes, sir."
OK, so Shingen has not really been released, he is in a specially adapted psi-deck cubicle in the Brig in ISS station (there are twenty of them in the brig atm). He has 'actor' status (see the description of what that means in the psi-deck description http://www.issfleet.com/modules.php?name=F...wtopic&t=63" target="_blank">here, though without the option of exiting the program and is not aware that he is in a simulator.
The guards observing him have 'director' privileges and will be watching to see how he reacts and what choices he makes in the situations he faces, while subtly making sure any 'danger' he faces doesn't end up 'killing' him. The simulated world is a fairly precise replica of the ordinary rp world, though with some differences to avoid giving him access to classified info (e.g. that the plaza is an ordinary recreation area open to the public without stringent security checks, so he is free to leave it should he choose and it doesn't have any simulators in it so as not to arouse his suspicions). He will be interacting with extremely sophisticated AI characters, basically indistinguishable from real people.
As a result, he is free to do anything he wants and go anywhere in this simulated world, though there will be realistic obstacles to achieving any outlandish feats, while his actions will have absolutely NO impact on the 'real' rp world going on outside, so other people wanting to enjoy the plaza can do so and feel free to ignore whatever is going on in his story, but they have the option of playing the part of an AI character in the simulation should they so wish (anything they want that's compatible with his current situation), but should be aware that since their character is only virtual it is dispensable.
To this end, anyone wanting to interact with Shingen in this way will need to use an additional set of tags within the normal rp tags, for example:
Ben got talking with the Earthcom staff about their journey to the station and introduced them to the facility's main features.
[sim CL6]
A somewhat drunken man stumbled his way over to Shingen's table and sat down inelegantly,
"Whassup there, mate? You look like you've been in a brawl or twoo... oo, heehee. Lemme know who did it an' I'll go give 'im a thumpin' or summing, yeah. Have you tried the beer they got 'ere, two hundred and thirty four varieties ya know, hat's off to 'em for looking after ush and thinking of our perti... perticuler needs and all 'at"

This week we bring You Raz Mateer, one of the brothers who are behind the incredible Wybalena Organic Farm where we have been fortunate enough to run our previous retreats and look forward to hosting our next retreat in November of 2018!
Find out how Raz and his brother Julian moved from the hectic corporate world in Sydney to the very relaxed lifestyle in the Byron Bay hinterlands. When Raz and Julian purchased Wybalena it was a property containing a house and two sheds. They've since built their property up to host 20 guests with shared and individual accommodation, as well as having a yoga room that can allow all guests to practice at once.
We dive into growing produce and feeding from the land and Raz explains how it's really just like growing in your backyard but on a slightly larger scale. We also dive into farming animals, working alongside family, swapping accommodation for work, travel and keeping yourself grounded.

From estate agent fees to EPCs, Eden Harper explains some of the key costs you'll need to budget for when selling a home in Battersea.
It is no wonder residential property in Battersea is in high demand. Battersea's popularity as a residential area is helped by the wide range of property types available in the SW8 and SW11 postcodes. From modern waterfront developments to Victorian and Edwardian houses, period conversions and villas, families and young professionals seeking easy access to the City and a wealth of green space are spoilt for choice when it comes to finding the perfect home.
Most of the houses and flats in the area were built by the Victorians and Edwardians, although in the 1980s riverside flats started to be developed as house-hunters were priced out of Chelsea. As a result, two-bedroom apartments are the most popular types of property in Battersea.
These include the large number of new homes being built near Battersea Power Station, many of which offering underground parking, gyms, pools and concierge services.
Choosing the right estate agent can make the difference between maximising the value of your property and not selling it at all. Eden Harper has been based in Battersea since the company started in 2002 and in that time we've added to our in-depth knowledge of the area.
We are committed to achieving the best price for your Battersea home while delivering a more personalized service.
Our fees reflect the type of property in Battersea you own but are typically no higher than 1.5% plus VAT of the sale price we achieve. That charge covers all the marketing of your Battersea property, including the production of high-quality colour brochures and floorplans, the services of a professional photographer, listing your home on national property websites, accompanied viewings and handling all offers for your property.
Eden Harper can arrange for a qualified assessor to produce an EPC for your Battersea property. The costs can vary, but usually range between £100 and £150 (excluding VAT).
Any owner selling a property in Battersea will need to hire a solicitor or licensed conveyancer to deal with the legal aspects of the sale. They either charge you a flat fee, or a percentage of the value of the property.
Eden Harper can offer recommendations if required.
Although vendors do not pay Stamp Duty Land Tax when they sell a property, the government has ruled that Capital Gains Tax is payable if you make a profit from the sale of property in Battersea if it is not your primary residence. In other words, if your Battersea property is a second home, a buy-to-let investment or has been inherited.
Eden Harper strongly recommends that you seek independent financial advice about the tax implications of selling a property in Battersea.
First impressions count, so presenting your property correctly to potential buyers can be crucial to a successful sale.
It is also wise to factor the fees charged by removal companies into the cost of selling your Battersea property.

Fuerza Bruta OFF-BROADWAY REVIEWS
Theater: Daryl Roth Theatre / 101 E. 15th St., New York, NY,
Club beats and mellow new world music fill the air as performers run and tumble, whirl and spin, and sail over the heads of the audience in a new show from the creators of the long-running aerial sensation De La Guarda
NEW YORK TIMES REVIEW OF Fuerza Bruta
Don't Slump: Stand, Gawk, Collaborate
October 25, 2007: "Fuerzabruta," the new show from the Argentine creators of the long-running "De La Guarda," is another entry in a dependable if not exactly venerable genre: theater for people who don't really like theater.
NEW YORK POST REVIEW OF Fuerza Bruta
Dazzling Blend of Erotic, Hypnotic, Aquatic
October 25, 2007: In "Fuerzabruta" - the latest extravaganza from creators of the hit "De La Guarda" - the audience is not only forced to stand, but is also periodically herded through the playing area like cattle, doused with water, buffeted by wind and sprayed with Styrofoam.
VARIETY REVIEW OF Fuerza Bruta
Fuerzabruta
October 24, 2007: A sensation is a feeling caused by outside stimulation, and in that sense, "Fuerzabruta" can properly be termed sensational. If you like your theater with a story that unfolds as you remain passively seated, that's not what you'll get at this follow-up to the long-running hit "De La Guarda." If you're open to something highly theatrical, throbbingly loud and almost ferociously stimulating (and wet), a visit to "Fuerzabruta" will provide an evening of jaw-dropping sensation.
TIME OUT NEW YORK REVIEW OF Fuerza Bruta
Oooh man group
October 11, 2007: Hanging around a midweek rehearsal for Fuerzabruta in the Daryl Roth Theatre on Union Square, it's hard to distinguish between who's in the show and who's running it. There's no stage, per se, so both groups mix freely. The performers are strapped into harnesses, but then again, so are the technicians. Suddenly, booming techno music overtakes the PA system, and the entire crowd erupts into whoops and hollers as a humongous, translucent tank (picture a clear plastic container the size of a tennis court, with a see-through bottom and filled with water) descends from the rafters.
THEATERMANIA REVIEW OF Fuerza Bruta
October 25, 2007: Audiences who have long mourned the absence of De La Guarda, the international sensation where they could be lifted into the air at any moment, will happily greet the arrival of Fuerzabruta, an often-astounding new theatrical experience co-created by four De La Guarda veterans at that show's former home, the Daryl Roth Theatre. But while this 60-minute entertainment lives up to its name -- which means "Brute Force" -- it lacks the sheer sense of surprise of its predecessor. And no one will swoop down and fly you up to the ceiling either.

Sichuan boiled fish (水煮鱼 is a specialty in any Sichuan restaurant but is oftentimes too oily for the average Singaporean taste bud. In this recipe, we have localised this dish by cutting down on the spiciness level and oil, while still retaining the soft texture. Fish with softer meat textures are preferred, so if you are using whole fish, we recommend fishes like rosy seabream (small ang go li) and seabass. For fillets, red snapper fillets would be good.
1. Marinade the fish with shaoxing wine and white pepper and leave aside for 20 minutes. If you are using fish fillets, we recommend using a mixture of egg white, corn starch, shaoxing wine and white pepper to marinate and "velvet" the fish. Read more about velveting here.
2. In a deep pan, add the water and let it boil. Once boiling, add in the chicken stock cube, ginger, garlic, ¼ teaspoon of white pepper, and 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine. After the cube is dissolved, add in the cabbage and cook for about 4 minutes or until soft. Remove the cabbage and place on a heat-resistant serving plate.
3. Add the fish into the remaining broth. Cook for about 8 minutes.
4. With about 5 minutes left to go, in a separate pot, heat up the oil until you see bubbles. Lower the heat if you see smoke.
5. When fish is done, lay on the serving plate. Sprinkle the Sichuan peppercorns on the fish, followed by the heated oil.
6. Serve immediately with rice.

Driverless cars could lead to more traffic congestion
by University of Adelaide
New research from the University of Adelaide has predicted that driverless cars could worsen traffic congestion in the coming decades, partly because of drivers' attitudes to the emerging technology and a lack of willingness to share their rides.
Using the City of Adelaide in Australia as a test model, researchers surveyed more than 500 commuters, including a mix of those who travel to work by car and public transport, and modelled the potential impacts. The results are now published in the journal Urban Policy and Research.
"Autonomous or driverless vehicles are likely to have profound effects on cities. Being able to understand their impact will help to shape how our communities respond to the challenges and opportunities ahead," says study co-author Dr. Raul Barreto, from the University of Adelaide's School of Economics.
This multidisciplinary research—conducted by the University's School of Architecture and Built Environment, School of Economics, and the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, in collaboration with researchers from the City of Adelaide—investigated commuters' views on autonomous vehicle ownership and use, vehicle sharing, and their attachment to conventional vehicles.
The research team then explored potential vehicle flow, with a mix of autonomous and conventional vehicles, and land use change in the Adelaide CBD under different scenarios.
"Our findings show that Adelaide has the potential to significantly reduce the number of vehicles on the roads and improve traffic flows, however these benefits may not be achieved in the near to medium term for many reasons," Dr. Barreto says.
"The key factors affecting the transition to autonomous vehicles are commuter attitudes to car ownership and wanting to drive themselves, rather than have technology do it for them, as well as the price of new technology, and consumer attitudes to car sharing.
"Our evidence suggests that as riders switch to autonomous vehicles, there will be an adverse impact on public transport. With most commuters not interested in ride sharing, this could increase peak period vehicle flows, which is likely to increase traffic congestion over the next 30 years or so.
"Under both scenarios we tested, the number of vehicles overall will eventually drop. However, total vehicle trips may increase, and some of the predicted benefits of autonomous vehicles may not eventuate until a lengthy transition period is complete.
"Our findings have policy implications for how the transition to autonomous vehicles is managed, not just within the City of Adelaide but for other cities around the world," Dr. Barreto says.

Though the University of Alabama has its fair share of athletic national championships, a group of engineering and computer science students are racking up academic trophies in a national robotics competition.
Alabama Astrobiotics won UA a second national championship in NASA's Robotic Mining Championship last week, having constructed their own autonomous robot capable of navigating chaotic Martian terrain.
The competition, hosted at Cape Canaveral, consisted of simulated Martian terrain. Robots were tasked with navigating obstacles and excavating soil.
According to a UA release, robots were tasked with gathering "simulated ice buried beneath the regolith" as an added challenge.
"The 2015 UA robot was among the lightest, fastest and most robust designs ever entered in the competition," Dr. Kenneth Ricks, UA associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and team adviser, said in a UA release. "Combining the mechanical design with the onboard intelligence, overall this robot has no rivals from all those that have competed in the six years of this competition."
UA's team previously won the competition in 2012. The 2014 team completed the first fully-autonomous run in the competition's history with their robot MARTE, pictured above.
This year's prize includes $10,000 to be used for next year's robot.
Here is the video from our first competition run! Our second run will be at 11:00 today, so make sure to tune in to watch at www.ustream.tv/channel/nasa-dlinfo2!


Tao is the recipient of a new $1.6 million grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation for research titled, "Label-free imaging and tracking of single protein-protein interactions." The three-year project calls for the design of a novel microscopy system based in part on a phenomenon known as plasmonic resonance.
An ASU computer scientist and his research team hope to boost online security with a system that uses patterns and images for passwords.
An Arizona State University computer scientist is working to strengthen the line of defense in online security with a password-protection system that potentially helps enhance security features of the Microsoft Windows 8 computer operating system.
Later this month, Ahn's research team will give a presentation on the work, titled "On the Security of Picture Gesture Authentication," at the USENIX Security Symposium in Washington, D.C., a prominent gathering of leading computer security experts. The symposium is organized by USENIX, the Advanced Computing Systems Association.
Ahn is a professor in the School of Computing, Informatics and Decision Systems Engineering, one of ASU's Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering. He is also founder and chief technology officer of GFS Technology Inc., an ASU-incubated company.
He has been researching the vulnerability of the Windows 8 password-protection system with a team that includes computer science doctoral student Ziming Zhao and computer science master's degree student Jeong-Jin Seo, along with Hongxin Hu, an ASU graduate and now an assistant professor of computer and information sciences at Delaware State University.
Ahn says the system will provide significantly more security to protect Windows users from hackers who may use automated scripts to crack passwords.
The team began by identifying common traits in an experiment group's selection of password patterns. They gathered data from a group of participants using Amazon.com, as well as from students who used the Windows 8 security platform to log into class work. The researchers found the users tended to pick predictable patterns to create passwords.
The patterns showed a common trend in concentrating patterns around an image's "points of interest," such as faces, eyeglasses or brightly colored objects. Ahn's team developed algorithms that identified possible points of interest in images users created for password patterns.
"Based on the user habits and patterns, we created a ranked pattern dictionary," he explains. With that finding, Ahn's team was able to figure out the password patterns used by the experiment group – showing there was more work to be done to better protect the Windows 8 system.
The team created password-strength meters similar to those commonly used to test the effectiveness of common text passwords in remaining secure. By predetermining the strength of a pattern, users can guard against hacking by selecting unusual patterns that do not utilize obvious points of interest.
Ahn has been granted a provisional U.S. patent securing the results of his research while he and his team organize documentation and data for an application to have the system approved for a permanent patent.
