Hermann Goertz – a German spy in wartime Ireland

Hermann Goertz
The involvement of a Nazi spy with the IRA during the Second World War. By John Dorney
On May 5, 1940, the Irish Army's lookout posts reported an unidentified aircraft flying over Gormanston Camp in County Meath. It was wartime and although Ireland was neutral in the Second World War, the skies were monitored nervously for hostile activity.
Somewhere over the townland of Ballivor, County Meath, two parachutes were dropped from the aeroplane, a German Heinkel, one contained a radio transmitter and the other a German agent, Hermann Goertz. He wore a full German officer's uniform and a coat stuffed with 20,000 US dollars. Goertz, in the dead of night swam across the river Boyne and in the following day tramped to Laragh, in the heart of the Wicklow mountains and the home of a sympathiser, Iseult Stuart.[1]
Hermann Goertz was an intelligence officer with the German military intelligence section, the Abwehr, who was sent to Ireland in 1940 to liaise with the IRA
Herman Goertz (also spelled Gortz) was an intelligence officer with the German military intelligence section, the Abwehr, who was sent to Ireland in 1940 to liaise with the IRA about possible cooperation in an attack on British ruled Northern Ireland.
After he landed in Ireland by parachute in May 1940, he was, much to the embarrassment and concern of the Irish authorities, at liberty for 18 months. His was the most substantial contact between the IRA and the German Nazi regime; an episode that remains one of the least favourably remembered in the history of the underground organisation.
IRA contacts with Germany
The aftermath of an IRA bomb in Coventry in August 1939 that killed 5 civilians.
By the late 1930s the IRA, the descendant of the guerrilla army that had fought the Irish War of Independence in 1919-21, and, more directly, of the losing faction of the Irish Civil War of 1922-23, had been through many debilitating splits.
Many ardent republicans had become reconciled to the Irish state after the accession to power of the anti-Treaty political party, Fianna Fail, and their leader, Eamon de Valera, in 1932. Another left wing faction had left to form the Republican Congress in 1934.
Those that remained in the IRA, though they remained hostile to all Irish governments, except the Irish Republic declared in 1919, began to focus their attention on Northern Ireland. In early 1939, under their chief of staff, Sean Russell, they launched a bombing campaign in England, which was intended to draw attention to the continued British rule in north east Ireland. They also persisted in their opposition to the Dublin government, raiding the Irish Army's ammunition depot at the Magazine Fort in Dublin's Phoenix Park and planting a bomb at the headquarters of the Garda Special Branch in Dublin Castle.[2]
IRA Chief of Staff, Sean Russell, saw no ideological significance in cooperating with Nazi Germany, but some others were sympathetic to far right politics.
To help fund and arm the organisation for a renewed campaign, the IRA cast about for allies. The IRA had had contacts with the Soviet Union in the 1920s and early 1930s, but by the late 1930s, they found the most promising international ally to be Germany.
Some in the IRA, notably their Chief of Staff, Sean Russell, saw no ideological significance in cooperating with Nazi Germany. His position was that he would accept help from any quarter to achieve the unity and full independence of Ireland. Others, however, including Jim O'Donovan, the IRA director of chemicals and Sean McCaughey, a prominent Northern republican, were sympathetic to far right politics. Most of the organisation's left wing, which had dominated its rhetoric and some of its actions in the late 1920s and early 1930s, had left by this time. Moreover, IRA publications during the Second World War were, according to Brian Hanley, 'pro-German and sometimes anti-Semitic'.[3]
The first direct IRA contacts with German intelligence came in 1938 when the Germans sent an agent to Ireland, Oscar Pfaus, to meet with the IRA. The Germans promised to supply the IRA with weapons and explosives but did not make any concrete offers until the IRA supplied them with more details of what they would be used for. There were further meetings between the IRA and the German ambassador to Ireland, Eduard Hempel and some members of the Nazi party, which took place in Donegal. Another conduit was Francis Stuart, an Irish academic of Nazi sympathies living in Berlin.[4]
Sean Russell decided to send the IRA Director of Chemicals (i.e. of bomb making) Jim O'Donovan to Germany with a view to securing German military aid for the IRA during the coming war in the form of weapons ammunition and explosives. He made three trips, the last just before war broke out, in August 1939.
Russell himself travelled to America to meet with Clan na Gael, the militant Irish-American Republican organisation to raise funds and there met with a German agent Carl Rekowski. Russell was at the time wanted by the FBI, who had arrested and released him on bail. With German help he skipped bail and boarded a boat to Genoa, Italy in 1940 – then too under fascist rule – and from there travelled to Berlin.
In Berlin he received explosives training and then was sent back to Ireland on U-boat (submarine), in July 1940, along with another Republican, Frank Ryan.[5] Russell however became ill and died aboard the U-boat of a perforated ulcer before he could land in Ireland on August 14, 1940.[6]
What did the Germans want in Ireland?
German paratroops land in Crete, 1941. they considered, but ultimately rejected, a similar landing in Northern Ireland.
Primarily the Germans wanted two things from Ireland during the Second World War. The first and most important was that Eire[7] under Eamon de Valera would remain neutral and deny the British use of posts on Ireland's western coast.
The British had kept these[8] under the Anglo Irish Treaty in 1922 but had returned them to Ireland in 1938 as part of a deal that settled the trade war which had been rumbling between the two states since 1932.
In wartime, however, the British desperately wanted use of the Irish ports to protect British shipping across the Atlantic, but were refused by the de Valera government.
The Germans wanted to encourage Irish neutrality but also wanted the IRA to help spark an insurgency in Northern Ireland.
The Germans' secondary objective and reason for cooperating with the IRA, was to foment a rebellion by nationalists in Northern Ireland to divert British resources from war fronts elsewhere.
Herman Gortz's mission was to report to military intelligence, specifically to Admiral Canaris in Germany, promote reconciliation between the IRA and the Irish government and to persuade the IRA to concentrate their hostile actions on Northern Ireland. Because their main goal was to protect Irish neutrality, Goertz and other German contacts insisted to the IRA that they must cease attacks south of the Irish border as Hitler desired above all friendly and neutral relations with de Valera and the Irish government.
In 1940 the Germans also considered, independent of the IRA, invading the south coast of Ireland, in plan known as Operation Green. This would have been intended as a diversionary attack during an invasion of Britain itself. [9]
Alternatively if the British invaded Eire in order to take the Atlantic ports, Hitler thought that de Valera might ask for German assistance, in which case Germany would invade in support of Irish forces. Hitler himself declared that 'a landing in Ireland can only be attempted if Ireland requests help'. He did consider a diversionary attack on Northern Ireland, but stated that 'Eire's neutrality must be respected. A neutral Irish Free State is of greater value to us than a hostile Ireland'.[10]
German agents in Ireland
Prior to Goertz's landing, a series of rather colourful German agents were sent to Ireland. The first, Ernest Weber Drohl, a circus strongman, landed aboard a U-boat in February 1940. He gave some money and radio transmitter to Jim O'Donovan and the IRA, but was arrested by the Gardai in a Dublin hotel within a month.[11]
In all, the Germans landed eleven other agents in Ireland during the war. They were, by and large, a rather eccentric and ineffective group. While some of them had espionage experience, few remained at liberty for very long before being discovered and imprisoned.
In all, the Germans landed twelve agents in Ireland during the war, of whom Goertz was the most important.
One, Wilhelm Preetz, ran up a large expenses account at bars and hotels in Dublin before being arrested. Five agents, all in July 1940, were arrested almost straight away by the Gardai, including Walter Simon whom German intelligence described as 'perfect classical secret agent'. Their mission was not to stay in Ireland but to infiltrate Britain and gather intelligence there. The final two German agents, sent in 1943, were Irishmen, who had enlisted in British forces, been captured by the Germans and had agreed to work for them. They too were arrested almost straight after parachuting into Ireland. [12]
Herman Goertz was a much more important figure than Drohl, Preetz, or any of the other agents. He was a decorated veteran of the Great War and was a trained German military intelligence officer. He had been sent to England in the 1930s to report on RAF airfields, but was discovered and sentenced to three years in Maidstone prison, from 1936 to 1939, returning to Germany shortly before the outbreak of war.[13]
He parachuted into Ireland, landing at Ballivor Co. Meath in May 1940, shortly before Sean Russell's death.
He stayed initially with his main IRA contact, Jim O'Donovan, who had been in Germany in 1939, and then in other addresses around Dublin and Wicklow. While he successfully made contact with the IRA, he lost the AFU radio transmitter that would have allowed him to remain in contact with Germany.
However, he handed over more than £100,000 to the IRA and collected information about Irish military and coastal defences. Goertz wrote a long manuscript on his mission to Ireland, which was published in the Irish Times in a series of articles in August 1947. [14]
Goertz's version of events
Jim O'Donovan. IRA bomb maker and Goertz's main contact in Ireland.
Goertz states that he was sent to make sure the southern and western ports of Eire[15] were denied to the British and to 'direct the IRA' against the harbours in the six county area[16] to 'disturb the enemy seriously'.
He wrote that he 'know perfectly well that it was not possible to drive the British out with an untrained revolutionary army' but nevertheless hoped to instigate a guerrilla war in Northern Ireland to divert British resources from elsewhere in the war against Germany. He knew about the IRA's raid on the Magazine Fort and hoped they they had enough small arms to begin a campaign in the North.
He noted that the IRA had submitted a proposal, 'Plan Kathleen', in which Germany would mount an invasion of Northern Ireland with IRA support. Plan Kathleen had been drawn up by an IRA man named Liam Gaynor, and was sent to Berlin the care of Stephen Held, an IRA member of German and Irish parentage in 1940.
It, rather optimistically, called for a landing of German paratroopers at Divis Mountain outside of Belfast and simultaneous seaborne landing at Lough Swilly, in Donegal. They would be supported by an IRA land attack over the border from county Leitrim.[17] Goertz, not unreasonably, thought the plans were amateurish and 'without any value'. It had been at least two decades since the IRA had the numbers, arms or organisation to mount operations of that magnitude.
Goertz's version of his time in Ireland is unreliable in many respects, but probably accurately depicts his frustration with the IRA.
According to Goertz, he wanted to 'avoid at all costs friction with the government of Eire' whose neutrality and denial of the Atlantic ports to the British benefited the German war effort, and asserted that 'my contacts with the IRA could not be construed as affecting the neutrality of Eire'.
However, Goertz's account is not at all reliable regarding many particulars of his time in Ireland.
For instance, he claims that he was to the forefront of the German effort to free Irish republican leader Frank Ryan, who was imprisoned by the Franco government in Spain, when it was very unlikely that a low ranking officer would have had such influence. He also claimed that IRA leader Sean Russell was killed by British agents in St Nazaire in France, whereas in fact he died of a perforated ulcer aboard a German u-boat on the way back from Germany to Ireland.
Furthermore, in an effort to emphasise his friendship towards Irish neutrality, Goertz claimed that he had intended to parachute into County Tyrone, in Northern Ireland, and accidentally landed in Ballivor County Meath. This would seem to be a very large navigating mistake to make by the pilot, who was noted to have circled around thirty miles north of Dublin before Goertz dropped. Moreover, it would have made far more sense to liaise with the mostly southern based leadership of the IRA in the south rather than in the North.
Finally Goertz must have been aware that, contrary to what he wrote about respecting Irish neutrality, had he succeeded in organising large IRA attacks from the south into the north, it would have fatally compromised Irish neutrality and inevitably have led to either civil war between the Irish government and the IRA, or British intervention in the south or both.
Whatever the truth, Goertz found the IRA to be disorganised and riven with 'intrigue', hostile to the Irish government and in no shape for large scale military action in the north. He suspected their leader, Stephen Hayes, was a spy, because he saw all 'these fine young fellows around him being arrested but he was untouched'.
Hayes was kidnapped by northern IRA men who accused him of being an informant to the Dublin Government, but Goertz says he could not give the men, led by Sean McCaughey, permission to shoot him. Hayes was beaten into signing a 'confession' but while the IRA men were preparing to shoot him, he escaped. He was arrested and interned and always maintained that he had never been a spy or Garda informant. [18]
Goertz was intensely frustrated by what he saw as the IRA's ideological obduracy – insisting that, pending the re-establishment of the all Ireland independent republic, declared in 1919, the IRA Army Council was the legitimate government of Ireland.
He bemoaned also their tactical bent to conspiracy and perseverance with the failed methods of the Civil War of 1922-23. Goertz characterised the latter as 'three men in a taxi with a malfunctioning submachine gun'. When he would urge them to join and infiltrate the Irish Army, so that they could have at least some chance of amassing arms and training for operations in Northern Ireland, he relates that he was told 'we are the Irish Army'.
He complained that the IRA 'embroiled me in their ridiculous street shooting' [of Garda detectives] and 'had become an underground movement in their own national sphere' heavily suppressed by men who knew their own methods'. This was a reference to the many former IRA men recruited by the Fianna Fail government and now prominent in the Garda Special Branch. He concluded that the IRA had many 'fine fellows' as members but were 'worthless as a body'.
Goertz had lost his own radio on his landing and had to rely on the IRA for radio transmission back to Germany. He narrowly avoided arrest in Dublin, but afterwards, claims that he gave up on the IRA and moved to what he claimed was ring of nationalist informants and saboteurs in Northern Ireland that he called 'Operation Ulrike'. It is not clear whether this network existed outside of Goertz's imagination.
He also met 'a gentleman who died some time afterwards'. It seems likely this was Irish far right politician Eoin O'Duffy, who died in 1944. O'Duffy had founded the pro-fascist Blueshirt movement in the 1930s and had led a Brigade of pro-Franco Volunteers to Spain during the Civil War there. The unnamed 'gentleman' put Goertz in touch with several 'Irish soldiers'.
Goertz does not give names and says 'it is difficult for me to write about' his contacts with the Irish military. However, these men, going by other accounts, were Niall MacNeill, and his cousin Hugo. Niall was an Army intelligence officer and Nazi sympathiser, while Hugo was the commander of the Irish Army's Second Northern Division and appears to have asked Goertz to secure arms from Germany in the event of a British invasion of Eire.[19]
Goertz noted that the Irish Army officers were open to military aid for the Irish Army from Germany, but – being pro-Treaty veterans of the Free State army in the Civil War – were deeply hostile to any suggestion of cooperation between the Army and the IRA. Civil War antipathies, in other words, still worked both ways.
Although Dan Bryan, the head of Irish military intelligence, G2, was aware of the contacts between the MacNeills and Goertz, and though Bryan was pro-allied in sympathy and had a good working relationship with the British military, no disciplinary action seems to have been taken against them for their unauthorised contacts with the German agent.[20]
Of the Irish Army, Goertz says that he reported to Germany that if attacked they 'would fight the English as if inspired, would fight the Germans 'some dutifully and some cheerfully' and that he did not know what they would do should US troops have landed in Eire.
Goertz was arrested in November 1941, along with an IRA member, Pearse Kelly, having been on the loose in Ireland for some eighteen months, causing considerable embarrassment to de Valera's government. He was imprisoned first in Arbour Hill in Dublin and then in Custume Barracks in Athlone. His main IRA contact, Jim O'Donovan was interned shortly afterwards. From an Irish government point of view, this brought to an end a troubling and potentially extremely dangerous threat to Irish neutrality. Hostile British observers had speculated that Goertz must have had some sort of official protection to avoid arrest for so long.
About 260 other German military, air force and naval personnel, who had mostly crash landed in Ireland, were also interned in Ireland during the war. The ordinary servicemen were housed at the Curragh while the spies were imprisoned at the military barracks in Athlone. In Athlone the 'commander' of the German prisoners was not Goertz but Werner Unland.
Of Athlone Goertz says it was called an internment camp, but this was 'a polite but misleading label.' 'This place was miserably small and old had been a military prison in the time of the British'.
Goertz was arrested in November 1941 and interned for the rest of the war in Athlone.
There were, he says 12 cells for soldiers punished for 'drunkenness or disorderly behaviour', it was dark and there was only one small window. He says there were ten internees, two in their 60s and they were guarded by two captains and 25 corporals. Goertz says that the English prison (where he was put for espionage in the 1930s) 'was an airy and healthy place compared to Athlone'.
He says that his plans for escape were 'betrayed to Irish Military Intelligence by foolishness not treachery'.
Contrary to Goertz's account, his captors related that although the German spies were prisoners, every effort was been made to make them comfortable in Athlone. They had individual cells, a common room where they could listen to the radio and a vegetable garden. One prisoner, Schultz brought two cats with him and Unland's wife was entertained by Commandant James Power, the Irish Army's Intelligence Office for the Western Command and his wife Frances when she visited her husband.
Commandant Power later told American writer Carole Carter that he played bridge alone and unarmed with the German prisoners to try to 'get the measure' of them.
When one prisoner, Preetz, threatened to go on hunger strike, Power told him 'we let our own die, so we don't mind if you die or not' – a reference to two IRA men who died on hunger strike in 1940.
According to James Power, Goertz tried to bribe a guard, Sergeant John Power (no relation) to deliver messages for him to a cafe in Jervis Street in Dublin. Instead Sgt Power reported the advances to his superiors, who advised the sergeant to play along and so Irish intelligence got to read what Gortz thought were secret messages through to his superiors in Berlin, including an 80 page report of his activities in Ireland prior to his arrest. To maintain the subterfuge, Irish Intelligence officers even replied to Goertz in German and 'informed' him that he had been promoted to the rank of major. [21]
Goertz claimed to have gone on hunger strike for 21 days in protest at being held without charge, but this is not backed up by other accounts.
At the end of the war he stated that he applied to 'cross the Atlantic' i.e. go to America, with a group of Estonians, but was refused permission.
He finished his account by saying that he was grateful to the Irish Department of External Affairs who allowed him to stay in Ireland as an 'Alien', and said that he received a secret message, 'The Irish government knows what you can expect from the Allies and the present German administration'.
In other words, Goertz ended his own account on a happy note.

But in fact there was no happy ending for the German agent. He spent less than two years as a free man in postwar Ireland. Goertz was released from custody in 1946 and planned to live the rest of his life in Ireland. However, in 1947, he was re-arrested and threatened with deportation. Rather than return to Germany, he committed suicide by dramatically swallowing cyanide in the Aliens Office in Dublin Castle, where he was served with his deportation papers.
It appears that Goertz believed that if he was placed into the hands of the British, he would be tried and executed for espionage. Most historical accounts seem sure that Goertz's paranoia and delusions of grandeur had got the better of him.
Goertz committed suicide in 1947 rather than face deportation back to Allied-occupied Germany.
While the British were certainly worried about his activities in 1940, he was of no more threat to anyone in 1947. Upon deportation back to American or British occupied Germany (he was given a guarantee that he would not be handed over to the Soviets) he would have been debriefed by intelligence officers and then, most probably, let go.
Somewhat ironically, after taking the poison, he was treated by a Jewish doctor at Mercer's Hospital, but nothing could be done to save his life. He was buried in Luftwaffe uniform at Dublin's Dean Grange cemetery, with the Swastika flag and under Nazi salutes from 'a few female mourners'.[22]
His was an episode that most in Ireland wanted to forget.

[5] Ryan is a curious case. He was a high profile IRA member throughout the 1920s and 1930s but left the organisation with the left wing Republican Congress in 1934. He went to Spain to fight in the left wing or anti-fascist side in the Civil War there in 1936 but was captured by Francoist or fascist forces. Apparently due to the intervention of Eamon de Valera, the Germans intervened with their Spanish fascist allies to prevent Ryan's execution and instead he was smuggled into Germany. For some reason that has never been determined, the anti-fascist Ryan, when Russell died aboard the U-Boat declined to land in Ireland and instead returned to Nazi Germany, where he died himself in Dresden in 1944.

The rhythms of nature IGNITE my creative vision. My abstract sculpture reflects its movements and changes.
The movement of the wind, the clouds, the waves, create a visual, physical and spiritual poetry. Which, together with man's thoughts over thousands of years, DRIVE my own ideas and artistic responses.
My relief sculpture, for example, "Petrified Wind," allows me to work in 2 and 3Dimensions. On both a small and large scale. Having an early background in Painting and Printmaking, I enjoy incorporating this experience into my sculpture.
Though my work is spontaneous, small models often serve as a guide and inspiration for an entire series, leading to large inter related sculptural groupings.
The wind is like the earth's pulse; it breathes, it moves, with these groupings I try to hold and embrace the wind.
Printmaking allows me to respond to elements of color, movement, emotion and balance with fluidity and freedom. Drawn to observing and creating patterns, textures and structures, I am free to shape thoughts and images as I play.
The spontaneity and simplicity of monotype allows mark-making to flow unencumbered. Layering with multiple techniques such as collograph, chine-colle, digital images, and stitching intrigues me to build more complex imagery on both paper and fabric.

My interest in local history, architecture, people, and conservation inspires and motivates my work. I pursue this interest with work as a Literacy Volunteer, volunteering with local school groups, and as a member of many local organizations, including the Historic Albany Foundation, Mohawk Hudson Land Conservancy, Pine Hollow Arboretum, and the Friends of the Normanskill Farm, where I am a board member.
My teaching is my main impetus to paint, pushing me to constantly examine and explain the formal and technical problems of painting and design.

Working in the figurative is a combination of life before me (the model) melding with the amazing visual influences of my life, captured canvas, paper or sculpture. I think as a society, we take ourselves too seriously. High pressures and in some cases the absolute drive for perfection determines the focus. I don't want my art to convey that. I want it somewhat naive and playful.
I am a commercial and fine art photographer. Details, patterns, shapes, lights and shadows are the building blocks for the images I create. In my art you are more apt to see part of a subject captured in a creative way rather than a large expanse made up of many parts. I tend to work in a project style format rather than seeking out individual images, although each image I show the public must be able to stand on it's own, regardless of the theme or project it is part of. I currently show my work on-line and in local and regional shows and venues.
I grew up in Southern New York, lived in Connecticut for many years and now reside in upstate New York. I make my living as a commercial photographer and art installer. I spend a large amount of volunteer time working to bring art and artists to the attention of the community. I am the director of The Artists' Space @ The National Bottle Museum in Ballston Spa, the Vice-President of Choose Cohoes for Art and the current chair of the Cohoes Artist Showcase.

US Labor Department's OSHA proposes fines for Strategic Materials because it lacks a respiratory protection program at its East Troy, Wis., recycling plant
Region 5 News Release: 13-2106-CHI
Contact: Scott Allen Rhonda Burke
Email: allen.scott@dol.gov burke.rhonda@dol.gov
US Labor Department's OSHA proposes fines for Strategic Materials because
it lacks a respiratory protection program at its East Troy, Wis., recycling plant
EAST TROY, Wis. – Strategic Materials Inc., a glass and plastic recycling company, has been cited for 11 health violations carrying proposed fines of $82,000. The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration found a repeat violation involving the company's failure to develop and implement a respiratory protection program following a May complaint inspection of the East Troy facility.
"Strategic Materials must protect the respiratory health of its workers and maintain a workplace free of known hazards," said Kim Stille, OSHA's area director in Madison. "As one of the nation's leading recycling companies, it should know the hazards unique to the industry."
A repeat violation exists when an employer previously has been cited for the same or a similar violation of a standard, regulation, rule or order at any facility in federal enforcement states within the last five years. Similar violations were cited in August 2012 at the company's Sarasota, Fla., facility.
Nine serious violations include failing to prevent workplace exposure to airborne concentrations of dust and lead above the eight-hour time-weighted average limit; prevent excessive accumulation of combustible dust; provide respiratory protection; have a hearing conservation program; implement engineering controls for dust accumulation; and have training on the bloodborne pathogen standards and hazardous chemicals in use in the workplace.
A serious violation occurs when there is substantial probability that death or serious physical harm could result from a hazard about which the employer knew or should have known.
One other-than-serious violation involves failing to train forklift operators. An other-than-serious violation is one that has a direct relationship to job safety and health, but probably would not cause death or serious physical harm.
The Houston-based company has 15 business days from receipt of the citations and proposed penalties to comply, request an informal conference with OSHA's area director, or contest the findings before the independent Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Previously inspected by OSHA at several of its 40 locations nationwide, this was the first at the company's East Troy facility.
To ask questions, obtain compliance assistance, file a complaint, or report workplace hospitalizations, fatalities or situations posing imminent danger to workers, the public should call OSHA's toll-free hotline at 800-321-OSHA (6742) or the agency's Madison Area Office at 608-441-5388.
U.S. Department of Labor news materials are accessible at http://www.dol.gov. The information above is available in large print, Braille, audio tape or disc from the COAST office upon request by calling 202-693-7828 or TTY 202-693-7755.

Is there a way to monitor the global performance of the entire network of stations, possibly in real time? For example, see which stations are currently active, which ones have scheduled observations over the next 24 hours, success ratios for each station and other such data?
The stations page on the Network has all the information you need.
Thanks! The network looks quite large. We'll start building our own UHF station very soon so at least one more will be added here.
Their is also my website that might be of interest.
The link over there doesn't open though.
Try the one in this post.
I assume the satellites shown are all scheduled to be observed?
Yep. And its in real time.
You are able to speed it the development one and view up to 4 hours into the future of observations.
Also you can see the none development one a https://satnogs.jwgtechs.com less impressive but still neat.

Picasso & Braque: Radicals
Located in the Lawson Print Gallery
Picasso & Braque: Radicals highlights significant work by the two pioneers of the Cubist art movement—Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. Cubism, one of the most influential artistic developments of the twentieth century, challenged traditional perspectives of how we see the world. The movement is characterized by fractured viewpoints and abstracted forms and defies established notions of three-dimensionality. Cubism can be intellectually challenging but beautifully reflects the dynamism, rhythm, and innovation of the early 1900s.
Although there is debate on who developed Cubism first, Picasso and Braque are credited with establishing this new visual language that presented infinite possibilities and catalyzed future developments in the visual arts. This exhibition features work by twentieth-century artists who took inspiration from these revolutionary ideas and practices, including American artists Fannie Hillsmith and John Marin, and Texas artist Bill Reily, among others. Paintings, drawings, sculptures, and prints demonstrate how Cubism transcended time and space.
Picasso & Braque: Radicals is organized for the McNay Art Museum by Lyle W. Williams, Curator of Prints and Drawings, Curator of Modern Art; and Rafael Fernando Gutierrez Jr., the inaugural Douglass Foundation Intern in Curatorial Studies.
Lead funding is generously provided by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Foundation of 1992.

iPhone how-to: Remove the default apps you don't use
Whether you buy an iOS or Android device, there will be several apps pre-installed by the manufacturers. Often referred to as bloatware, these apps don't offer much use if you don't need them.
Bloatware is more pervasive in Android devices than iOS, but several Apple apps could fall into that category. The last thing you need is unnecessary apps taking all the storage space on your iPhone. Tap or click here for a hidden iPhone setting that can eat up all your storage in a flash.
If you don't have an Apple Watch or Apple TV subscription, having these applications on your device is a waste of storage space. Until recently, it was nearly impossible to remove them. Fortunately, that has changed.
Apple now lets users remove some default apps
With the latest iOS 14 and iPadOS updates, Apple has granted users the ability to remove some of its pre-installed or default apps. The functionality has been rolled out to iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple Watch.
But beware, there is a major caveat with some of them.
Tech news that matters to you, daily
Privacy, security, the latest trends and the info you need to live your best digital life.
Apple points out that when you delete its built-in apps, you will also remove all the data that is associated with that app.
If you delete the Apple TV app as an example, you won't be able to view any content that was synced through iTunes. Similarly, if you remove the Apple Books, Maps, Music, or Podcast apps, they won't be available to use with CarPlay.
How to delete and restore built-in apps
To remove an Apple app, the process to follow is the same as any other third-party app.
Touch and hold the app you want to remove
When the menu pops up, tap Remove App
Then tap Delete
Note: If you have an Apple Watch, deleting an app from your iPhone also deletes that app from your Apple Watch.
If you want to restore a previously deleted app:
Search for the exact name of the app
Tap Restore App
Once downloaded, you will be able to open it from the Home Screen
Note: If you have an Apple Watch, restoring an app to your iPhone also restores that app to your Apple Watch.
Which apps can be deleted?
Many Apple apps can be removed, but you must be aware of the implications of doing so. Some of the apps that can be deleted include:
Watch app
You can see the complete list of apps that can be deleted here.
Remember, if the Contacts app is removed, all your contact information will remain in the Phone app (which can't be deleted). While the FaceTime app can be deleted, you can still make and receive FaceTime calls in Contacts and the Phone app.
Apple also notes that when the Music app is removed, you'll be unable to play audio content in its library using Apple apps or third-party apps on some car stereos or stereo receivers.
Would you like the tech news summarized for you each morning?
No, I like to live in the dark.
If you want to delete the Apple Watch app, you will first have to unpair the watch from your phone. Otherwise, an alert will ask you to unpair before proceeding.

Jerome Isma-Ae is known throughout the Progressive House world as an outlier, opting to focus more on situating his own sound as a producer instead of following the trends. His music is not the high end anthem fare of regular producers and his high energy productions go far and beyond of what Progressive hold as their ideals. He also does not forgo into the greasy corners of regular Electro fare. Instead, we can describe the 'Isma-Ae' sound as sophisticated and confident, with edgy but simple sounds driving the force behind his productions. Each movement and timbre is carefully deliberate and showcases the Big Room quality that Jerome strives for. A true technician with 15 years of knowledgeable experience, Isma-Ae always delivers class Originals, such as his fantastic Speed and the iconic 959 with a Porsche reving and changing gears at the end of his track. But today, we take a look at his high end, minimalist remix to Haroun Hickman & Rashid Ajami's track, Let's Be Free.
Instead of attacking chordal structures head on, Isma-Ae takes another route, instead choosing to explore the timbral side of music. Most of the piece is only situated around a concert B note, but surprisingly, it is still refreshing to hear after every phrase. He dives head first into manipulating and utilizing an array of percussive sounds, such as claps, high speed ride cymbals, reverbed crashes and a gorgeous off beat wood block in the distance. The piece is situated in sixteenth notes with a cool, futuristic synth, (perfect for clubs) and it forces the listener to listen to the other elements of the track. When something is off beat, it gains prevalence and sticks out as a unique change of pace. It also helps in the sense that he uses a modified human voice not for lyrics but for color and texture. The second drop garners even more energy than the first one, as it replaces the wood block with huge, sweeping synth stabs that reverberate heavily in a large room. The second drop does not deviate much, but it doesn't matter, as the vast choices of percussion that Isma-Ae has hand-picked more than makes up for its lack of chordal structure.
Many times when a person hears a piece, they skip to the drop and take note if they like the music or not. But Isma-Ae's sound is for those mature enough to really listen into what they are hearing. His music is for the conisseur's ear and if you take note of the different timbres he utilizes, you realize how much of an experimental piece this is. Let's Be Free almost represents a Techno piece rather than a Progressive House piece and yet, he still maintains that groove that many listeners can dance along to, casual or refined. All in all, it is a fantastic release that is deadly in arenas and in the confines of your own head. We here at Your EDM applaud Isma-Ae for his bold inquisition into inovating the industry and being loyal to his own, distinct sound and characteristics. We see a big future with him (with his remix to Above & Beyond pres. Tranquility Base's Razorfish already becoming a smash hit) and we will definately keep a close eye on him from now on. Jerome Isma-Ae's remix of Haroun Hickman & Rashid Ajami's Let's Be Free is now available on Sambuca Recordings on Beatport. Get on over there and pick up this stellar release today.

Marla Ahlgrimm: Viral Variants
We've all turned on the news lately and heard about variants of the coronavirus that are starting to concern doctors. As a retired medical professional, Marla Ahlgrimm is often asked by friends and family what it all means. Keep reading for a quick Q&A with the women's health expert.
Q: What is a variant?
Marla Ahlgrimm: A variant is essentially a mutated virus. Mutations happen naturally as any living organism replicates. Humans, for example, mutated over millions of years, and we are no longer genetically the same as our Neanderthal ancestors. The same is true of viruses. The flu, for example, mutates year-to-year, and it is almost impossible to predict exactly how these mutations will affect the virus.
Q: Is it more dangerous to contract a variant of a virus or the original?
Marla Ahlgrimm: Not necessarily. The vast majority of mutations that result in variances don't change the virus enough to have a profound effect on humans. But, sometimes, a variation may be more transmittable or have the ability to sidestep vaccination or natural immunity.
Q: Do viral variations change how doctors treat a disease?
Marla Ahlgrimm: Absolutely. As I mentioned a moment ago, doctors can't predict how mutations will affect the virus. But, when they do, they can tailor a vaccine to target specific properties.
Q: How concerned should we as a nation be about variants of the COVID-19 virus?
Marla Ahlgrimm: It's prudent to pay attention to the types of viruses that are floating around year-to-year, whether we are in the middle of a pandemic or not. Specific to the coronavirus, there are five known variants. The most prevalent strain at the moment, Delta, doesn't necessarily produce worse symptoms than the original, or Alpha, virus. But, Delta may spread more easily. The newest iteration of COVID-19, omicron, will likely produce a similar level of illness as Alpha but early studies suggest that it increases the risk of reinfection in already vaccinated or immune individuals

OhioHealth associates travel to Houston to assist following Hurricane Harvey
Harvey Techs
Over the weekend, the group of OhioHealth associates who traveled to The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center to assist following Hurricane Harvey, returned to Columbus. Below is a video about their experience. Scroll down to read an earlier post about their work in Houston.
This week, OhioHealth associates joined a group of more than 100 clinical professionals from around the country to provide a bit of respite to clinical team members at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center following the devastation caused in the area by Hurricane Harvey. This includes nine laboratory associates from OhioHealth. This support will allow MD Anderson to continue to provide excellent patient care while giving employees affected by the storm time to address their personal needs.
"We're focused on meeting the needs of our patients, but also we're focused on meeting the needs of our staff," said Carol Porter, D.N.P., senior vice president and chief nursing officer, MD Anderson. "Our faculty and staff have been so devoted to MD Anderson, and this external supplemental staff will allow our teams who've been affected to take care of themselves, their families and their personal property."
"Being a certified member of MD Anderson Cancer Network®, a program of MD Anderson Cancer Center, means we are family. And when a family member is in need, you are compelled to help," said Michael Bianchi, OhioHealth system vice president of cancer services. "When our laboratory associates heard MD Anderson needed support in the wake of Hurricane Harvey, many volunteered to travel to Houston in just a matter of hours. We are honored to help, along with other members of the network, and hope this assistance will allow the MD Anderson team to continue to serve their patients, while also being able to spend some time focusing on their families and recovery efforts. Our thoughts continue to be with the patients, physicians and staff patients at MD Anderson, as well as everyone in the southeast Texas region."
"Healthcare is what we do and to see another hospital - another group of professionals struggling just because they can't get in to care for their patients - it just kind of brings that out to go and help them get through this time," Caroline Lerner, an OhioHealth technical scientist, told WBNS-10TV from John Glenn Columbus International Airport as she and the rest of the group headed to Houston.
In addition to OhioHealth, support is coming from UT Southwestern in Dallas, Banner MD Anderson Cancer Center in Phoenix and Northwell Health in New York. All four organizations are donating their time, travel expenses and service to MD Anderson. Teams will be onsite for one-week intervals over the next two to three weeks.
"We're grateful for the support of these organizations and their clinical and security professionals who volunteered to assist MD Anderson in our time of need," said Marshall E. Hicks, M.D., president ad interim, MD Anderson.

"I was very quiet and withdrawn. I thought, 'Well, I can't tell anybody my secret.'"
The upcoming documentary "When The Bough Breaks" takes an inside look at postpartum depression and perinatal mood disorders. When actress Tanya Newbould began experiencing postpartum depression, she didn't know where to turn. She then teamed up with director Jamielyn Lippman to take a closer look at the mental illness that affects one in five new mothers. One of the women they interviewed was Lindsay Gerszt, a woman currently suffering from PPD and who allowed Lippman and Newbould to document her path to recovery. These three women set out to shine a light on a problem that many choose to ignore or hide away because of stigma in order to save children and other future mothers from further personal distress. Watch the trailer for the film above.
"When The Bough Breaks" is executive produced and narrated by Brooke Shields. Shields first gained notoriety for her role in Louis Malle's "Pretty Baby" as Violet, a 12-year-old prostitute working in New Orleans. She then went on to star in "The Blue Lagoon," Franco Zeffirelli's "Endless Love," and the NBC sitcom "Suddenly Susan." Actress Tanya Newbould has appeared in films such as "Rush Hour 2," "Red Dragon," and "X-Men: The Last Stand." "When The Bough Breaks" is Jamielyn Lippman's first documentary feature film.
"When The Bough Breaks" will premiere at the Dances with Films Festival on June 8th at 2:45pm.

Former Hostage Waite Offers Help to Captives' Families
Terry Waite, who successfully negotiated the release of hostages in Iran and Libya and himself became a hostage in 1987 while negotiating the release of hostages in Beirut, has offered his help to the families of two Canadian peace activists abducted in Iraq last Nov. 26.
"I just say to the families ... keep hope alive," Mr. Waite said in a story on the CBC Web site. He was speaking at a lecture on public policy and spirituality at Dalhousie University in Halifax. "If there's anything I can do, you've only just got to get in touch."
Mr. Waite, a Briton, became known worldwide in the 1980s when, as a special envoy to the Archbishop of Canterbury, he was kidnapped himself and held captive for 1,763 days.
He told the audience that he was aware of the toll that abductions exact on the families of hostages. During his captivity, Mr. Waite was subjected to various forms of torture; he was held in solitary confinement for four years before being released in 1991. During those years, Mr. Waite said his family had no idea whether he was dead or alive.
Mr. Waite also said that Canadian citizenship did not guarantee safety in Iraq, where the situation remains volatile after the American occupation in 2003. …

Q: Check if object property value is unique and if not filter out - JS I am building a small webapp and I am using this API which has around 485 objects in it. Those objects have specific property center. It can happen that the center property sometimes is equel (and not unique) to other object' center. How can I filter out the duplicates?
My code so far
function call() {

    fetch('https://data.nasa.gov/resource/9g7e-7hzz.json')
        .then((response) => {
            return response.json();
        })
        .then((data) => {
            locations = data;
            getLocations(locations);
        })

}

function getLocations(locations) {

    //Filter out duplicates and push it to an array
    locations.forEach((location) => {

        console.log(location.center);

    })

}

So the result I expect is an array with objects, with unique values in the center property. Can someone help me out?

A: Set can help you here:
function getLocations(locations) {
    let centers = new Set();
    let uniques = [];
    for (let location of locations) {
        if (!centers.has(location.center)) {
            centers.add(location.center);
            uniques.push(location);
        }
    }
    return uniques;
}

Local businesses help out a recovering family
by: Jessica Watson
Posted: Apr 22, 2019 / 02:00 AM CDT
Updated: Apr 22, 2019 / 03:27 AM CDT
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (KCAU) – On Sunday a local family is still recovering after their son survived an attempted kidnapping.
"You just feel like all your safe feeling for your kid just gets taken away and you feel powerless and that is not just something somebody can give you back," said Tonya LeGore one of the parents.
On March 22nd the LeGores family suffered a parent's greatest fear. Their children almost being taken from them. A 9-year-old boy and 14-year-old girl surviving an attempted kidnapping. Thankfully they were both able to escape, but the trauma remains.
"The family was basically in shock and after that shock wore off it was fear and panic and anger and worry," said Tonya.
As the LeGores tried getting back to regular life, four strangers took it upon themselves to help.
"Kidnappings every parent's worst nightmare you know and it's right there in your home town and then you have for us these four angels come and bless our family in so many different ways," said Tonya.
Lisa Beaver gave gifts to the boy and told him he is a hero, helping to change his perspective on the situation.
"Boy he just shined he shined and I think that was the first time we really saw him simile after it happened," said Tonya.
Pam Ingram and Shawn Rassmessen have been offering in-home therapy for the whole family to help them recover from the trauma.
Ryan Johnson gifted them strength, a local martial arts owner giving the family free lessons.
"When someone is physically attached wither it is a kid or adult it makes you feel powerless and for kids, it takes away some of their innocence when that happens. For us to be able to say these are some things that you could do these are some tactics or strategies that you could use just gives them a little bit of that power back," said Ryan Johnson the owner of ATA Johnson Martial Arts.
"It was a combination of all four of those people that did it for us and for them," said Tonya.
The family says the son is still struggling with falling asleep but he is on the right track to recovery.

Ordo Astri serves to reveal an initiatic Order to those so prepared. The grades of initiation in the O∴ A∴ are obtained by personal work done and the keeping of a diary Record. Our work is to fulfil the Great Work of the primordial or universal tradition.
Ordo Astri fulfils the role of Outer Court to the Order, which is based on grades or degrees equating to the Qabalistic Tree of Life. We have developed comprehensive, internally consistent methods of ritual and Tantra-yoga.
The way of the True Will is the equivalent, in terms of the human state, of the Sanskrit dharma. It is a law of universal will and love, and is not in any way a personal law or a set of codified rules as applicable to all contingent circumstances.
Each grade has an Oath and a Task to accomplish. Our methods are necessarily elitist, for this requires a high level of intelligence, integrity and resolve. Few people are able to work in this fashion over a lengthy period of time, or are in any way suited to it.
Ordo Astri and Initiation
The grades or degrees of initiation correspond to the Qabalistic Tree of Life and are obtained through study, practice and the Keeping of the diary Record. Initiation requires a sustained effort over a prolonged period of time. Applicants must have more than a superficial interest in the mysteries. They must be willing to practice and understand the four powers of the Sphinx: to Know, to Dare, to Will and to keep Silence.
The Great Work in our tradition is not merely about obtaining personal insights, powers, or even spiritual enlightenment; it is a service that each and every one of us freely gives so as to assist cosmic and praeterhuman intelligences to bring about the spiritual and material restoration of the earth.
Applicants for the degrees must complete a Probationership term. If the work is approved, admission to the first degree is granted.
The task of the aspirant to an initiatic Order is to build and contribute to the symbol of that Order. Aspirants build the temple from their body, their mind, their heart and their will so that it becomes a perfected and balanced representation of the universe they inhabit.
Successful completion of a Probationership course under direct tuition is a condition for entry to the first initiated degree, Neophyte (see below).
Ordo Astri Literature (Required)
Required reading and study for Students and Probationers:
The Enterer of the Threshold (2022 Edition)
Way of Knowledge in the Reign of Antichrist
Those who wish to obtain a thorough grounding in Qabalah, which is the basis of ritual, may work through our one-year Hermetic Qabalah Foundation Course. The course may be worked as a one-year Probationer term, under supervision. Send your request along with your letter requesting Associate status. You will need a copy of the textbook (2022 Edition) in addition to the two books listed above.
Details of membership are provided here: Ordo Astri Membership.
Please note that Ordo Astri is the general name for the Outer Order and the publishing imprimatur. The collegium is called the O∴ A∴
A Word on the Means
Passage through the grades is marked by Oath and Deed. Although anyone may solemnly write their name to an Oath or Pledge, that does not, in itself, make it 'real'. A piece of paper, after all, is just that. In the same way, a person may be admitted to membership of an Order but that does not imply initiation in the real sense. No ritual or ceremony will confer initiation of its own accord; no person on earth may confer real initiation on another. Initiatic transmission has its source wholly beyond the human sphere. The work begins, nonetheless, with the Oath of Dedication (or Probationer Oath).
1. See the page Initiation on this website for an account of what initiation truly is. For a detailed explanation, see our book, 'Initiation', Nu Hermetica—Initiation and Metaphysical Reality.
Enterer of the Threshold: Neophyte Initiation
The Ordo Astri Journal, Metamorphosis, is sent once per month when the Sun enters a new sign of the Zodiac. We aim at all times to provide excellent, high quality literary content to our readers. The Journal is free of charge and is delivered by email.
