I'm using this to share some things which come across my desk and may be of interest to you all and some things you need to know. So, read when you can, but make a point to do it now and then.
Bob was born August 21, 1947, in Phoenix, Arizona. He graduated from Arizona State University in 1972 and Naval War College in 1992. He is also a graduate of the USC safety management/accident investigation school and the Air Force aircraft mishap/accident investigation board president course. His first career was with the USAFR as a technician flying Special Operations, Combat Rescue and some transport and tanker tours. He retired after serving 32 years in many different staff and squadron jobs; the final one in the Squadron as Commander and on staffs as The Director of Operations Training for Tenth Air Force. Bob joined the Commemorative Air Force in April, 2005 as the Director of Safety and Flight Operations and was promoted to the Vice President of Safety, Maintenance and Operations in January 2008. In 2017, Bob came out of retirement to be the CAF President/CEO. Bob married Libby Ann Ivester of Medford, Oregon in August 1970.
Emergency extraction cards are to the air show industry as Twitter and Facebook are to the social media: everyone is doing it and if you're not, you're going to be left behind.
Over the past three years, putting the most efficient egress information into the hands of the first responders has gone from a poorly publicized project to a widely praised professional tool that the FAA is looking to require for all air shows. There is confusion in the field as to how this tool works, so let's all get on the same page.
Six weeks from the first day of an ICAS member air show, the ICAS database goes into the ICAS Air Show Calendar to find all performers listed for a particular air show. Our custom software combines all of the available extraction information for those performers into a single PDF file. That file is then sent six weeks, four weeks, two weeks and one week from the show date to the email address for the person listed in the ICAS database as the air show's primary point of contact. ICAS requests and expects that primary contact point to pass this extraction information along to the appropriate operations person for the event.
In order to insure the most accurate information, it is critical that both event organizers and performers do their part to maximize the chance for success. Air show organizers must confirm that the list of performers on the ICAS Air Show Calendar is complete and accurate. Leaving off one performer may result in that performer's information being left out of your show's packet. Performers must make sure that they are listed on the ICAS Air Show Calendar and that their emergency extraction information is loaded onto the ICAS website. A performer can add, edit or simply confirm their extraction information by hitting the "edit" button on their organization profile page on the ICAS website.

Although we have had a few shows so far this year, the 2016 North American air show season begins in earnest this month as the two U.S. military jet teams perform at their first shows in El Centro, Tucson, Tampa and Los Angeles County.
All indications point to an especially strong year. The U.S. military is fully engaged. Ticket prices are up. Enthusiasm is high. And our entire industry is poised to finish the process of shaking off the negative impact of sequestration in 2013 and 2014.
Whether you are an event organizer or a performer, ICAS encourages you to help make your contribution to a successful year by deciding, right now, that this is a year when you will put safety first. Before the season is fully underway, commit yourself to making the safe decision anytime and every time that you find yourself with a choice between doing something safely and doing it less safely.
If you're an event organizer and you find yourself wrestling with low ceilings and marginal weather conditions, decide right now – weeks or even months ahead of time – which you will make the safe decision.
If you are a pilot who is fighting the flu or a nagging mechanical problem with your plane, decide today – as your season is just getting started – that you will make safety your #1 priority.
Of course, making the simple decision to be safe is not always enough to stay safe. But just as often, it is. So, while the temperature is still cold and nearly the entire 2016 season lies ahead of us, decide right now that you won't take unnecessary chances, that you'll identify risks and mitigate them as best you can, and that you will always opt for the safer alternative, whether you have several days or less than a second to make that decision.
As the air show season begins to spool up, performers across the country are knocking off the proverbial and literal rust. The spring thaw has many pilots curing their cabin fever with a healthy dose of 100LL. While performers satisfy their engines with a fresh batch of oil, it is important that we all follow that lead and look to the aspects of our involvement in the air show industry that need some extra attention to return to mid-season form.
Performers: Consider G tolerance. Some pilots have not flown in upwards of four months, but their minds are still familiar with the execution of maneuvers. This can be a dangerous combination. A pilot who hasn't practiced in a few months will easily remember how to execute the maneuvers of the show, but the pilot's G tolerance will be significantly lower than it was, due to the lack of conditioning. The biggest mistake you can make is to forget how physically demanding the high G environment is on your body. The solution: practice often, but start slow.
Few things grease the gears better than practice. Practice is the WD-40 of an air show performance. It should be applied liberally and often, especially during the conditioning phase of the season. Remember that the ground doesn't make a distinction between a practice and a show. When practicing, you should be positive beyond equivocation that you can perform any and all maneuvers AT ALTITUDE prior to practicing your maneuvers at show level…even if they are maneuvers that you have been performing at low altitude for many years.
Last year, ICAS published a pair of documents aimed at providing a wealth of information in a variety of formats for both rookies working to begin their careers as air show performers and veterans eager to improve and better understand their craft.
They are ideal documents for performers to review as part of the shaking-off-the-cobwebs process.
Copies of Air Show Performers Safety Manual and Voices of Experience: Air Show Veterans on Flying Low-Level Aerobatics have been sent to all holders of Statement of Aerobatic Competency (SAC) card holders, but -- to ensure a wider distribution of this information and because non-performer members might have an interest in this material -- ICAS is making these two documents available to all ICAS members.
They are both intended to be organic documents that are revised, expanded and improved regularly. So, if you have suggestions for improvements, please don't hesitate to pass them along for possible inclusion in the next revision of either document.
Ops Bull is the YOUR ICAS Operations Bulletin. We use your ideas, your contributions, and your experiences to generate operations- and safety-related articles to keep safety and operations issues at top of mind awareness throughout the air show season. Now in its ninth year of publication, Ops Bull is only as good as the ideas, contributions and experiences you are willing to share with your air show colleagues.
So, if you've got an idea, don't hesitate to pass it along.

Buddy has made it to another retirement (2nd, 3rd?). This December is the official end of Buddy's work on the CAF Headquarters staff. He has been the corporate memory on all things operational the last couple of years and his input on important issues allowed us to keep the practical and simple solutions as a necessary way of doing business.
He will continue flying our airplanes and has offered to be available when we need his help with going down the road. We will miss Buddy on the staff, but will enjoy seeing him on the ramp around the system doing what he loves the most. Talking about things he loves-the next time you see him, ask him about driving steam locamotives………………..
Convention Delegates Reserving Rooms in ICAS Block Will Receive $100 Discount on Standard Registration Fees. Make your sleeping room reservation within the ICAS room block at the Rio All-Suites Hotel. The savings for registering this way can be as high as $190. "ICAS has negotiated terms that require that our delegates reserve a certain number of sleeping rooms during the ICAS Convention each year," says ICAS President John Cudahy. "So, to encourage our members to reserve within that block, this year, for the first time, we are offering a $100 discount on the standard registration fee to delegates who reserve and occupy a Rio sleeping room during this year's convention."
Only members who have confirmed reservations at the host hotel under the ICAS room block are eligible for the discount. And members who have a reservation within the ICAS block, but cancel their hotel reservation, will not be able to take advantage of the discount.
This year, ICAS has negotiated a rate of $89 for convention participants. Delegates making a reservation within the ICAS block of rooms will also receive complimentary in-room internet access and will not be obligated to pay the standard $28/day resort fee.
To make your sleeping room reservation at the Rio All-Suite Hotel, call 888-746-6955 and use the group code: SRICS5. Alternatively, you can make your reservation on-line by visiting: https://resweb.passkey.com/go/SRICS5.
Booth assignments are first come, first served, so get your order in before they are all booked up. All you have to do is pick a booth and send me an email with your selection. Our spaces are 216 – 227 (see floor plan below) and the only ones left are 219, 220, ½ of 221 and 225. The total price will be $1,190 (only $45 more than last year and $255 less than 2013!) and half that if you share. These prices include the CAF backdrop, so all you have to do is bring your unit and airplane specific displays to attach to the backdrop. If you will have computers and monitors to set up, bring extension cords and a power strip. When I confirm your selection I will send a copy to finance and they will bill you then. If you need to cancel your booth, we will refund your payment when and if we can get another unit to fill it. Obviously, the closer to the convention the harder this will be to do.
Exhibitor set up is Sunday, December 6; please come by and help set up your (our boothes). We always get this done by helping each other, so plan on 2-3 hours starting at 0830. The convention, including access to the exhibit hall is for members only. Non registered guests may attend the last exhibit hall session on Thursday, accompanied by an ICAS registrant.

Several CAF units have benefitted from the CAF's Restoration Grant Program. An internal program in which Units can apply for a matching grant from the CAF Headquarters; enabling CAF Units/Sponsor groups to accelerate their efforts of returning their aircraft to flying condition.
Those Units with aircraft restoration projects that fit the criteria will need to send a grant request as soon as possible. In the next few weeks decisions will be made to determine the projects most suitable for this program.
For those aircraft nearing completion or finished- You can do the paperwork, but aircraft that are mostly finished will have a lower priority (paint is part of restoration), but will be considered.
Please review the CAF Restoration Grant Guide and use the document as a guide for submitting a request.
NOTES- Don't spend much time on unit history; concentrate on a timeline with milestones to finish the restoration and cost for each phase of the project. There needs to be enough information to see what you are spending money on. It is best to specifically ask for an amount of ½ of specific things you can accomplish in 12 months. If you have received a grant previously, just include the old request with an update on the work ahead and timeline. The money is a matching grant, so you will need to have, or raise money and the grant needs to be spent in one year.
The Operations Officer and Aircraft Coordinators in Sponsor Groups are responsible to make sure each of the pilots in their unit gets a copy of this policy.
I have attached a legal brief, but I am not a lawyer. I do not understand all of the language and I don't have access to all of the referenced cases. Furthermore, I don't need to look at the issue of low passes and flybys in strictly legal terms. I understand enough of the brief and the FARs to form our policy on low passes and flybys; a common sense policy. There is no operational requirement to make low passes and flybys in the realm where it takes a lawyer to argue if it violates a rule, or policy. If you are not taking off, landing, or approaching on an option, use 500' as minimum altitude, unless a higher altitude is required in the discussion below.
We continue to get reports now and then (videos, emails and phone calls) about CAF aircraft doing low passes at airports, controlled and uncontrolled. This has always been something many pilots think is OK at an airport, especially when the tower controllers approve a request for a low pass and even sometimes ask us to do one. However, the ATC folks do not have authority to authorize deviations from the FARs regarding minimum altitudes, unless required for safe and orderly management of traffic. I won't argue the safety of doing a low pass, because each one needs to be evaluated within the environment where it occurs. However, low passes without a waiver is more than a compliance issue; it puts our image as an organization in a bad light and believe me, the FAA at levels important to our national programs frequently find out about these deviations/violations.
So, here is the deal: for the rest of this year low passes/flybys are a special interest item. When a pilot does a low pass/flyby without the appropriate waiver, the pilot will be required to write a narrative of the circumstances and send it to me, David Oliver (CAF Director of Operations) and Buddy Cooksey (CAF Chief Pilot). The narrative must indicate if the pilot received a copy of this email from me, or the Unit Operations Officer and we will work on what needs to be done to stop these low passes from happening with CAF aircraft and at CAF events without appropriate waivers.
The following rules may not be all-inclusive and if you have something to add, or I say something which needs to be corrected, please send me an email, or give me a call.
- ATC clearances for a low approach, or the option, are for aircraft making an approach for landing or instrument procedure. In this context, the aircraft should be configured as recommended in the aircraft's operating manual and unless there is an emergency, or simulated emergency, the gear will be down well before crossing the threshold.
This means if you do a flyby, or make a pass with the gear up, you are not doing a low approach, or exercising the option.
Additionally, if you configure with the intention of doing a go around/low approach, the reasons I can understand are for pilot training, or to comply with the rules and still give passengers a thrill you can't do otherwise (getting clean, staying low and building airspeed for a big pull to closed). The second reason is not good enough. Intentional planed go a rounds and low approaches are intended for, or are to facilitate pilot training and are only authorized when you have essential crew only (CAFR 60-1, Chapter 1, Para 5). Planned touch and go landings are always pilot training.
- The FAR altitude restrictions in 91.119 are notable because they are written with undefined terms. Congested areas, open area assemblies of people and sparsely poulated areas are defined on a case by case basis when a pilot is getting investgated/violated. The definitions are subjective based upon the envionment and while 25 people may be an open assembly in one case, it may be 10 in another. The most common element in these cases however, is the fact the aircraft were not taking off, or landing and the acceptable altitude falls into a category defined by the FAA, generally after the fact. The pilot making a low pass over a runway may assume he is over a sparsley poulated area (paragraph C) and think he only needs to be at least 500' from people and buildings which is generaly the case. However, if he approaches/departs over a road, building on the airport, or there is a group of people on the ramp, the chances are good there will be a detremination under paragraph B and he will have violated the 1,000' within 2,000' rule. For example, if there are roads, or buildings on the approach/departure the pilot would need to maintain 1,000' altitude untill 2,000' horizontaly before desending to the low pass and then climb again to achive the thousand in two clearance on departure. Even if there are no roads, or buildings on the appraoch and departure, how close is the ramp? Within 2,000'? Is anyone on the ramp? The point here is, why worry about all of these things when there is no operational reason to push the limits!
-- in class D airspace, you need to abide by FAR 91.129 (e) and remain at 1,500' until the normal glide slope for a safe landing and of course, this means if your gear is up, you never go below 1,500'.
- If you are carrying passengers under the 6802 exemption, you cannot decend below 1,000' except for landing.

Say Hello to the New Director of Operations, David Oliver!
David Oliver, whom many of you know as a pilot of the CAF's B-29 Superfortress FIFI, has joined the headquarters operations and maintenance staff. His title is Director of Operations, which is what Buddy Cooksey has been doing so well for us.
No need to say goodbye to Buddy, he plans to retire from the full time job at the end of the year and David will be taking the stick when Buddy leaves. In the meantime, Buddy's official title is the Chief Pilot of the Commemorative Air Force. Buddy will continue as the primary point of contact for the pilots and day to day operational issues while David focuses on development and improvement of some important projects and programs.
Some of these are the new web based flight activity program replacing Fortress, the Stan Eval Program and working with TRARON to find a way to have a lot of formation clinics around the country in a variety of aircraft types.
Please take a look at David's experience summary below and I'll bet you'll learn something about him you didn't know!
Gerald "David" Oliver first took the controls of an aircraft at the age of 7. A typical "airport kid" David's first job in aviation started as an aircraft fueler when he was a teenager. After soloing an airplane on his 16th birthday David quickly went on to secure instrument, commercial, multi-engine, seaplane and instructor ratings by the age of 20.
He earned a bachelors degree in Aviation Management from Southern Illinois University and simultaneously worked towards an A&P certificate.
Expanding both his flying and leadership portfolio, David was captain of the Southern Illinois University Aerobatic team. In 2006, he lead the team to the National Collegiate Championship title, winning the team trophy as well as the "Eagle Trophy" as the IAC's top national individual performer.
In 2008 he was compelled by the opportunity for deployment to both Iraq and Afghanistan as a contractor with the U.S. Military. It was there that David gained valuable experience in challenging environments. David spent a total of 16 months in theatre and has logged over 600 combat hours. His responsibilities included Director of Maintenance and Base Manager while deployed overseas.
David has experienced a wide spectrum of aviation that includes long distance over water delivery flights, agricultural projects, Low level oil dispersant spraying, and other intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance projects. It is through these experiences that David has earned gathered a very diverse set of qualifications.
After returning from living in the country of Panama in 2009, David actively sought out the Commemorative Air Force where he volunteered with the B-29/B-24 Squadron based in Dallas. David has served as the Flight Operations Officer of the unit for over four years before taking his current position as Director of Operations for the CAF.
David is deeply committed to the mission and values of the CAF. He is rated in over seven different CAF aircraft and holds Check Pilot Status on many of them. However, David's greatest love is piloting the CAF's B-29 Superfortress FIFI & B-24 Diamond Lil. David currently resides in Plano,Texas with his lovely wife Christina and their three children.
I want to share with you one of my experiences from ICAS last December. I went to an afternoon session one day about safety – Air Show Performer Safety to be precise. I didn't really know what to expect. There were probably 60-70 people in the room, mostly performers. There was a forum of experienced performers on stage, many long time experts, and highly recognized as being the best of their ilk.
The crux of this session was to review the three fatal accidents that occurred at airshows in 2014. Each accident was discussed by an airshow performer. In each case, the person talking about the accident was a close personal friend of the pilot that was killed.
Watching these long time airshow professionals talking about how and why their friends died goes beyond moving. It was heroic. And as difficult as it was to talk about the accident, they somehow mustered the wherewithal to do it so others could learn.
There was the video. Not shown to the bitter end. And a technical discussion about what happened. He was too low, he pulled out of the maneuver too severely and probably passed out due to pulling too many G's, he started the maneuver with not enough airspeed, etc.
What I want to tell you about is something much more important than the technical details. In each and every instance, the person telling the story had one clear message. "I was not comfortable with that maneuver my friend was doing". "I was afraid he was taking an undue risk", and so forth. And what was the most moving was that they – to a person – said "I should have gotten involved", "I should have made my friend aware of my concerns". They did not.
Airshow acrobatic performers are a close knit community. Much like NASCAR and other types of race drivers are. The guy that takes the most chances and puts on the best show is the winner. These guys are all competing and the best man wins. I get it. I understand how competitive this business is. I understand that there are huge egos involved in some cases.
So what? Most of the CAF are not a bunch of guys in red biplanes that do twisty-turney stuff in front of a crowd. What's this got to do with us?
There are some parallels between these guys and us that you might want to think about. We are a close knit bunch. We have some pretty good sized egos and sometimes when we see something that we think is dangerous, we don't get involved. There are a variety of reasons. I get that too.
Each of those men wishes he had the chance to do this over; to get involved; to warn his friend about the danger. He does not have that chance. His friend and brother performer is dead.
Don't let this happen to you. If you see one of your friends or a wing member doing something that gives you concern for their safety or the safety of our aircraft, get involved. Speak up. You may never have another chance.
The National Warbird Operators Conference (NWOC) is not a required conference for Commemorative Air Force members, but it is focused on some Warbird issues that are relavent to the CAF.
NWOC is an opportunity to mix and talk with fellow Warbird operators and hear some presentations on interesting subjects. I encourage our members with the availability to attend and take advantage of a few days in New Orleans to talk about their operations and issues with fellow CAF members and others operating similar equipment in the breakout sessions for Bomber/transport/T-6/fighters/ Ls & Os.
Registration for 21st National Warbird Operator Conference on Feb. 26 - March 1 in New Orleans is now open.
For 2015, NWOC admission will be $495/person ($445 through Oct. 31) and the hotel is offering $189 standard and $219 concierge rooms, both double-occupancy.
For more information about NWOC, visit our website at http://nwoc.aero/ .
(a). When we have non-owned aircraft in our care, custody and control, which means in our hangars, or on our ramps, regardless if borrowed or temporary we have a liability exposure. If the non-owned aircraft owner is a tenant, transient or visitor, or parks on our ramp without an invitation we still have a liability exposure. As a reminder non owned aircraft includes member aircraft and any visiting aircraft not owned by the CAF. Note: Leased aircraft are considered CAF aircraft and are handled in accordance with their individual lease agreements.
(b). In the last few years we have had aircraft damaged by weather, towing/tugging errors, hangar door operation and hangar rash that is discovered after the fact. To control these problems and limit our liability, it is necessary for every non owned CAF aircraft operator to sign an Indemnity/ hold harmless agreement anytime their non-owned aircraft is or could be under our "care, custody and control".
(c) All operators of non-owned aircraft in CAF hangars and on CAF ramps will complete the Indemnity Form upon arrival. This Indemnity Form alone is adequate for short term visits to CAF Hangars or ramps of less than 10 days.
d) Aircraft arriving with prior coordination for visits in our hangars or on our ramps for more than 10 days, the operator must; provide a certificate of insurance with the following minimum acceptable limits and that identifies the CAF Indemnity waiver, names the CAF as additional insured, and contains a waiver of subrogation in favor of the CAF with a 30 day notification of modification and cancellation clause.
c. Meet the minimum acceptable limits stated above in para. d.
e. Contain a 30 day notice of modification and cancellation clause.
(f). For CAF member owned aircraft that may visit numerous CAF Units each year. The Operators may keep a copy of the signed Indemnity Form and Insurance Certificate on board their aircraft that can be copied by the Unit being visited and filed each year by that Unit.
(g) The Indemnity forms are available on the CAF's Web site or by contacting Headquarters.
(c) Pay for the hangar space. If the stay is longer than 90 days, Unit Staff's may request a waiver for rent for Warbirds that enhance the unit's aircraft display.
c. Meet the minimum acceptable limits stated above in Para. 3. d.
d. Contain a 30 day notice of modification and cancellation clause.
Note: CAF members are strongly encouraged to have a CAF member-owned logo on their aircraft to show their support for the organization, when they are in a CAF facility or on the ramp at a CAF facility.
Units must keep the documents on file (Indemnity form and Insurance Certificate) at the unit and conduct annual reviews to obtain a new insurance certificate prior to the existing one expiring. Units should also check the certificates to ensure that the certificates include all that is required.
The FAA has proposed a new rule to address issues about the non-aeronautical use of airport hangars.
Under Federal law, airport operators that have accepted federal grants and/or those that have obligations contained in property deeds for property transferred under various Federal laws such as the Surplus Property Act generally may use airport property only for aviation-related purposes unless otherwise approved by the FAA. Compliance inspections by FAA staff, as well as audits by the Government Accountability Office, have found that some hangars intended for aircraft storage are routinely used to store non-aeronautical items such as vehicles and large household items. In some cases, this storage interferes with—or entirely displaces—aeronautical use of the hangar. Moreover, many airports have a waiting list for hangar space, and a tenant's use of a hangar for non-aeronautical purposes prevents aircraft owners from obtaining access to hangar storage on the airport. At the same time, the FAA realizes that storage of some small incidental items in a hangar that is otherwise used for aircraft storage will have no effect on the aeronautical utility of the hangar. The FAA is proposing a statement of policy on use of airport hangars to clarify compliance requirements for airport sponsors, airport manager, airport tenants, state aviation officials, and FAA compliance staff. This notice solicits public comment on the proposed policy statement.
The "public comment period" regarding this proposed rule closes next week, therefore we need you to go online immediately and express your concerns about the impact the proposed rule may have on the way we operate. The following text is what we have posted as a company comment and the link to the comment page for your inputs follows the text. It is important to be straightforward in your comments, but please avoid the hyperbole many of the others who have commented are using. If you read some of the 600+ comments already posted, you will see the EAA members are focused on the restrictions affecting the early stages of the homebuilt aircraft projects. Our focus, which includes the building/restoration process, also directly impacts the museum aspect of what we do. We are working with other museums and Rep. Sam Graves[R-MO6] to get them motivated to take action. The best we can hope for is an industry meeting with the FAA to be sure they understand our concerns and the possible impact on Aviation non-profits organizations and museums.
The Commemorative Air Force requests the policy clearly establish aviation museums/static aircraft displays, aircraft building/restoration, non aviation historical/educational supporting artifacts, signage and other museum support such as food/beverage operations, as an approved aeronautical purpose. All of our hangars are used for storing, restoring and performing maintenance on our flying aircraft, as well as museum educational operations. Within some of the larger hangars, we maintain artifacts associated with the history of the airplanes, the wars and battles associated with the era and use them to tell the story about the role of the aircraft and the men and women who flew them to preserve our peace and that of our allies. In some cases we maintain multiple hangars and buildings as a campus, some of which are for the interpretive displays and viewing of artifacts by the public. In all cases, the focus is on our educational mission, as a flying museum and we display the static elements as supporting and necessary elements of the total story and history.
New Orleans, LA (July 7, 2014) – The NWOC "Crew" is pleased to announce NWOC's 21st anniversary conference will take place Feb 26 – Mar 1, 2015 and the Hilton New Orleans Riverside in New Orleans, LA.
The conference will focus on maintenance, operation, and regulatory aspects of warbird ownership. Vendors will be on hand to exhibit their wares and offer installation/usage assistance. The National WW II Museum has arranged for a private NWOC opening, reception and dinner Saturday night.
Our host city of New Orleans is well known for its distinct French and Spanish Creole architecture, as well as its cross-cultural and multilingual heritage. New Orleans is also famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz), and its annual celebrations and festivals, most notably Mardi Gras, dating to French colonial times.
Mark your calendar today – Early registration and hotel reservations will open Aug 1, 2014.

March 17, 2014 Rocky Mountain Wing TBM N53503 ….I was flying CAF TBM Avenger N53503 relocating it from Luke Air Force Base (KLUF) to Glendale Municipal Airport (KGEU) which is about 4 nm away. Visual meteorological conditions with light and variable winds prevailed. My first landing attempt on Runway 1 was aborted as the preceding Piper traffic took unusually long time on runway to execute a touch and go. I left the TBM landing gear down for the go-around, and noted all gear safe lights lit and full 1500 lb. hydraulic pressure. The next attempt was successful, landing softly at the 1000 foot runway marker and rolled out without braking. As I began the left-hand turn-off at the A6 intersection, I inadvertently raised the landing gear lever by mistake causing the landing gear to begin retraction. The left gear collapsed causing the left wing tip to strike the ground. Sudden engine stoppage occurred with the ensuing propeller strike. There were no injuries, and all exited the aircraft quickly.
The pilot reported that after landing and during the turn onto a taxiway intersection, he inadvertently raised the landing gear lever by mistake, rather than the adjacent flap lever. The left landing gear collapsed, which caused the left wing tip to strike the ground. The impact resulted in substantial damage to the left wing. The pilot stated that the accident could have been prevented had he waited until he was clear of the runway, stopped, and identified the flap switch. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
The pilot inadvertently raised the landing gear lever rather than the adjacent flap level while exiting the runway which resulted in the retraction of the left main landing gear.
I learned something this week, which came as quite a shock. Every year when the non-owned comes due we enter a period when the previous years' term runs out on the 1st of March, but because the renewal on the policy always arrives late, we have a grace period until the end of March where the pilots who had coverage the preceding year are covered if they renew.
It has been a misunderstanding of mine the grace period was an extension of the preceding year's coverage, because it only applies to those who had coverage the preceding period.
WRONG! In fact, during the grace period, pilots who renew in March are covered retroactively back to the 1st of March for the new policy period they are paying for.
The reason this is important is, if a pilot has a mishap during the grace period and before he pays the new policy premium, he isn't covered unless he pays for the coming year during the grace period.
Reminder: If you convert to the comprehensive coverage the pilots wouldn't need the non-owned coverage! The details are in the Insurance Guide on the members' page; click resources and then guides. The premiums are higher than the catastrophic fleet policy, but the coverage includes acts of God and damage without intent for flight. The aircraft does not have to be destroyed (fleet policy) and the cause does not have to be the Pilot error (non-owned policy).
The following article from Dan addresses experimental aircraft, however, the same compensation rules apply to Limited aircraft and Standard category aircraft operating under Part 91. The bottom line is the media flights require operations under our exemption, or our 91.147 LOA. The only time they can be done otherwise, is if indeed you give them a freebie.
The ride cannot be a contractual obligation of the pilot to the show, of the pilot to a sponsor or any other combination of pilots, riders, event organizers, sponsors or third parties. If the pilot is giving the ride to be helpful and accommodating, but the show is providing the ride for cash, as a raffle prize or in fulfillment of a contractual obligation with a sponsor or any other person or organization, then the ride is a "ride for hire" and, therefore, prohibited by the FAA.
· A "contractual obligation" is not just a written contractual obligation. The FAA has specified that there can be no verbal agreement or unstated quid pro quo. That would also constitute a "ride for hire" and, therefore, be prohibited.
· Whether the pilot of the experimental aircraft receives compensation or not, nobody can raffle or auction a ride in that pilot's aircraft. That also constitutes a "ride for hire" and is prohibited.
· Ignorance of the rules or confusion about whether compensation may have been paid is not a defense for the pilot providing the ride. As pilot in command, he/she is responsible for knowing how this rider came to be in the aircraft. If the rider (or somebody else on the rider's behalf) provided compensation to anybody else, then the ride would be a "ride for hire" and is, therefore, prohibited.
· The fuel for the ride must be paid for by the pilot providing the ride…not the show, not the rider, and not a third party of any kind. If anybody other than the pilot pays for the fuel, the cost of the fuel is considered compensation and is, therefore, prohibited.
As one ICAS member recently observed, the safest thing for a pilot to do is ask some variation of this question of any individual getting a ride: "Did you or anybody else provide payment or compensation of any kind for this ride?" If the answer is yes, then the ride should not be given. From the event organizers' perspective, it is critical that rides in experimental aircraft not be offered in exchange for cash payment, sponsorship or any other type of compensation. If they are, the show stands to put the pilot in violation of federal aviation regulations. And, from the FAA's perspective, compensation is being made even if the rider does nothing more than buy a $1 raffle ticket. There are historic aircraft that offer rides in experimental aircraft under the FAA's Living History Flight Experience program; these aircraft have a waiver from the rules that prohibit rides for hire in experimental aircraft. And, of course, the prohibition on rides for hire in experimental aircraft does not impact standard category aircraft.

Pamela L. Travers and Ah Wong
Pamela L. Travers stemmed from a religious soil. She heard readings from the Bible and attended church services on Sundays at St. David's Anglican Church of England in Allora, Queensland, Australia.
Her parents were pious churchgoers; thus, God was an absolute and uncontestable part of Pamela's reality:
"…God ubiquitously worked among us, forever unespied – playing the organ on Sundays, his feet bare on the pedals…..Once He looked me at through the gap in the fence with the face of a golden sunflower, awesome, quizzical, resolute. I put up my hand and I picked Him."
Curious enough, despite her parents' piety, this almost transcendental experience once shared was dismissed as inappropriate:
"No one, they said, could pick God and if they could they would not. It was socially, if not ethically, unacceptable and not the kind of thing people did."
Yet, it was not these insensitive comments but her father's sudden death that shook the foundations of Pamela L. Travers's religious beliefs. She had no choice but to accept her father's death, even if the process took her several years. What she failed to accept, however, was a God who allowed for such a loss. By losing her father she also lost her religion.
Alas, she did not lose her spiritual needs. A deep inner void remained to be filled. And that explains her lifelong following of the esoteric teachings of George Ivanovich Gurdjieff (whom she met in her late thirties), as well as her general restlessness and search for spiritual masters.
Strangely, despite her rejection of the God from her childhood, Pamela kept a faint connection to her Christian upbringing. Some of her less known writings ("Ah Wong," "Johnny Delaney," "I Go By Sea, I Go By Land," and "Fox at the Manger") contain religious references which leave a vague impression of an ambiguous belief system. And it is to be noted that Gurdjieff himself called his system esoteric Christianity because of his ideas about sacrifice and voluntary suffering. A similar conclusion can be drawn about her interest in the Durkheim's system (see post from last week) which is a combination of Christian and Zen concepts.
However, the major difference between her earlier religious training and the Gurdjieff's and Durkheim's teachings is that in these teachings the divine is described in a more mystical manner. There is also a strong emphasis on physical exercises as a gateway to a higher level of consciousness; ritual dances in the case of Gurdjieff and yoga and breathing exercises with Durkheim. In both systems, the process of personal growth is entirely the individual's responsibility; an experiential inner process to be discovered by the individual on the spiritual path. Truth is to be experienced not known.
In 1943, Pamela L. Travers (at that time already a follower of Gurdjieff) wrote the story of "Ah Wong" as a Christmas present for her friends. She did not intend the story for the public eye and it was only in November 2014 that it became available for the general reader. Virago Press, with the authorization of Pamela's estate, published Aunt Sass a compilation of three stories: "Aunt Sass," "Ah Wong," and "Johnny Delaney." The story of "Aunt Sass" was previously discussed on this blog. It features Pamela L. Travers's great-aunt Ellie (under the name of Aunt Sass) who was, to a certain extent, the inspiration of the character of Mary Poppins.
Also, just as in "Aunt Sass," a child's voice tells the story of "Ah Wong" and again, as in "Aunt Sass," it contains some biographical elements form Pamela's Australian childhood.
The Travers's household in the early years, before her father's death, employed a Chinese cook who left a lifelong impression on Pamela's heart.
In the story, Ah Wong arrives out of nowhere, as an angel of providence, just at the right time when the family has lost their incompetent Chinese cook to a work-related injury. Ah Wong, thin and wrinkled with a long, black pigtail swinging underneath his hat, is described as a benevolent, energetic, and caring force:
"For Ah Wong did not merely cook for the family. It soon became apparent that he owned the family. He darted like lightning about the house, dusting, making beds, sweeping and polishing."
Ah Wang was the ultimate house elf:
"Flowers bloomed, green rows of vegetables appeared, watermelons swelled like balloons. It was our belief that Ah Wong blew them up at night."
Now, this sweet man remained profoundly engraved in Pamela's memory not only because of his loving care for the family, but also and probably more so, because he was different in a time and place of Christian homogeneity. Something mysterious was hidden behind a beaded curtain in his room; Ah Wong was bowing to a "heathen idol."
Thus, Pamela and her siblings found themselves on a quest:
"We were going to convert Ah Wang. At this period, we were immersed in those old stories wherein small children of extreme physical debility set so saintly an example that grown-up sinners were thereby brought to repentance."
The rest of the story goes on in a humorous way to describe the children's efforts to teach Ah Wong the basics of Christianity and get him christened, of course, all without any success. It is in this story of Ay Wong that we glean Pamela L. Travers's early religious education:
First, she mentions The Book of Common Prayers which I learned is a compilation of related prayer books used in the Anglican Communion, as well as by the Continuing Anglican, the "Anglican realignment," and other Anglican churches. The book also includes the complete forms of service for daily and Sunday worship.
Then, she tells us that her Bible primer was the Peep of Day and that Ah Wong succeeded in learning the prayers. So, I looked it up, and Peep of Day turns out to be a series of religious instructions for young children with illustrative verses written by Favell Lee Mortimer.
The book is separated in sections as follows:
Section 1: My Family and Me – Body, Parents, Soul
Section 2: Angels – Good Angels, Wicked Angels
Section 3: God's World – The World (3 lessons), Adam & Eve, The first sin, The Son of God
Section 4: Jesus has Arrived – Virgin Mary, Birth of Jesus, Shepherds, Wise Men, King Herod
Section 5: Jesus at Work – The Temptation, 12 disciples, First miracle, Several miracles, Sinner & Simon, Storm at Sea, Jairus' daughter, Loaves and fishes, Kindness of Jesus, Lord's prayer, Jesus foretells his death, Lazarus, Jesus in Jerusalem, The Temple, Judas
Section 6: The Last Meal – The Last Supper (3 lessons)
Section 7: The Final Night – The Garden, Peter's denial, Pontius Pilate, Death of Judas
Section 8: Jesus Dies – The Cross (3 lessons), The Soldiers, The Grave
And here is a verse from the Peep of Day which we can imagine Ah Wong and the Children sang together:
My little body's made by God
Of soft warm flesh and crimson blood;
The slender bones are placed within,
And over all is laid the skin
My little body's very weak;
A fall or blow my bones might break;
The water soon might stop my breath;
The fire might close my eyes in death.
But God can keep me by his care.
Ah Wong indulged the children by playing and listening to their stories, but when they described to him the glorious picture of their father at the Church service, trying to convince him to come with them, Ah Wong found the idea of giving money at the end of the service completely ludicrous.
"….our father, in his white silk suit with the crimson cummerbund, taking round the plate. This, to us, was a sight ever glorious. Sunday after Sunday we thrilled with pride as, singing the last hymn in a roaring baritone, Father took up the collection."
"Whassa dam-silly-fellow nonsins? he shouted wrathfull. 'Boss take-im money? I don't tink so. Boss not take-im Ah Wong's money."
After this incident, we learn that Ah Wong is saving his money to return to China. Soon after that, the tone of the story abruptly changes and becomes darker. The father suddenly dies and the family must leave its sugar plantation and its Chinese cook. Many years later, the child narrator, now a young journalist, meets Ah Wong on board of a ship sailing to China. Ah Wong is part of the ship's cargo, a dying stock of old Chinese men on the way to their homeland. The story ends on a somewhat lyrical reflection about life and death being one river:
"The same flood that was flinging me into life was taking Ah Wong home…"
Next week we'll talk about Johnny Delaney and the Nativity scene.

I really love the religious idealogies explored in this piece. It is relatable, regardless of one's religious background. I grew up Christian, with a grandfather as a Methodist preacher and certainly had some trying life experiences, challenging my belief system. I studied shamans and mysticism in college, so I was glad you touched on the physical element of spiritual enlightenment. The themes all ring so true — especially the notion that the death of one's religion leaves one with a vast spiritual void, still desperately seeking fulfillment. It's so interesting — both stunningly beautiful and depressingly dark — to examine various people and their unique stories to see how we all adapt to pre-existing religious dogmas based on our unique perspective shaped by our own experiences… then have to cope with fallacies, false promises, or conflicting narratives. I fully agree that "truth is to be experienced, not known." Reminds me of a quote from a lawyer I recently read: "Chase after the truth like all hell and you'll free yourself, even-though you never touch its coat-tails." -Clarence Darrow. Any-who, glad to have stumbled upon your blog!

The visitor will enter a dark corridor into a room, where a four minutes film shows the four stages of evolution of butterflies, since Jurassic times (200 million years ago). The sounds recreate different environments relating to these periods, such as dinosaurs' grunts, birds singing during Tertiary when diversity was high and we see thousands of butterflies on the screen, the Ice Age, then a train appears, as well as other signs of human presence. The film ends with a picture of an urban and polluted landscape with high-rise buildings, rubbish damp, cars, motorways and only a few white butterflies flying around.

Cat Friends! Now Starrrring: Pepper!
So, without further ado, it is my great pleasure to introduce you to one of my besties- Pepper!!
We adopted Pepper on my birthday a few years ago. He is about 4 now. He was Pet of the Week (celebrity!) from the local county animal shelter. The county shelter here in Kern County is considered a high-kill shelter, meaning many animals get put to sleep on a regular basis because there is just no room. It is so sad and just breaks my heart. So adopting from a local shelter is very important and I HIGHLY recommend this as your first option if you have room for more animal friends in your home!!
Pepper (like most kitties) loves to squeeze himself into any box or bag even if he can't really fit!
Thank you for getting to know Pepper! And be sure to get to know the adoptable kitties in your area too!

Alginate bolsters 3D-printed hydrogel fix for damaged knees
By Thadchajini Retneswaran13 October 2015
Biocompatible material has potential applications in bespoke cartilage replacement
Printing replacement body parts may sound like something out of a sci-fi novel, but since 3D printing was introduced in the 1980s, scientists have been aspiring to make this a reality. Now, a team from Texas in the US has developed a super tough biomaterial that could be used to print load-bearing body parts such as knee cartilage.
A severe shortage of donors and biocompatibility issues are just two of the hurdles hindering successful transplants. Printing replacement tissues that function as well as, or better than the original tissue could be a way to side-step these obstacles.
Some simple tissues and cell scaffolds have already been developed, but more complex tissues prove harder to get right. 'A major challenge for tissue engineering is producing constructs of the clinically relevant size, shape and structural integrity. 3D bioprinting has the potential to meet this goal,' explains Anthony Atala, a practicing surgeon and director of the Wake Forest Institute for Regenerative Medicine in North Carolina, US, who was not involved in the study.
Hydrogels are a network of hydrophilic polymer chains and a frontrunner in the race to find suitable biomaterials. They are already being used as a biocompatible material for some tissue scaffolds. Their high water content gives them a degree of flexibility that mimics natural tissues. However, this also means that on their own, hydrogels are not particularly strong and do not easily hold their shape.
In a collaborative effort, Jenny Qiu and fellow scientists from the Texas Tech University and Texas A&M University have uncovered a way to strengthen hydrogels; by incorporating a very viscous polymer called alginate. Their improved properties are thanks to the way the alginate interacts with the hydrogel network.
Uncrosslinked alginate chains interweave with the hydrogel network and make it tougher. Furthermore, when calcium ions were introduced by submerging the structure in a calcium chloride solution, ionic bonds formed crosslinks within the alginate network. The resulting tensile strength of the hydrogel was higher than any other hydrogel, and was on par with natural cartilage. Adding alginate also allowed precise printing; structures held their shape better as the overall viscosity of the hydrogel network was increased.
'This is a first-rate piece of research that illustrates the many variables and challenges that must be considered in order for 3D bioprinting to be clinically translatable,' adds Atala.

CIBC celebrates 100 years in Williams Lake
Thursday, Sep. 19th, 2019
(R Dyok, MyCaribooNow.com staff)
Clients and employees took time out of their busy schedule to share cake, music, and stories at a bank in downtown Williams Lake.
CIBC celebrated 100 years of serving the community Thursday afternoon.
General manager Kirby Fofonoff has been with the bank for the last 13 years.
"I think what stood out was the memories that were shared that we were not aware of," he said.
"I think there were was a lot of relationships that we've built throughout the years that were talked about today, different generations, and of course the different locations that we've had in Williams Lake."
CIBC first opened in Williams Lake in 1919.
Fofonoff said he understands there has been three formal locations and that CIBC was originally located on Yorston Street.
Located on Oliver Street since the late 80s, ten employees currently work at Williams Lake CIBC.
"That's what's really terrific about our location is we have a lot of long-tenured employees, so clients recognize and feel very comfortable in our location and our staff treat clients like family," Fofonoff said.
"I'm very proud of that."


The next 8 weeks will fly by, so – if you are keen to use Scrivener for NANO 2016 – now is the time to start learning how.
NANO, short of NaNoWriMo, is the National Novel Writers Month. Writers all over the world spend the 30 days of November writing the first 50K words of their novel. The NaNoWriMo website opens its doors in October and then the fun starts. Meanwhile, we have time to plan what to write, and to come to grips with Scrivener.
Scrivener is a sophisticated tool that provides an ideal writing environment. Everything for one project is in one file, and you have the option to compile into a number of formats. It offers a seamless transition from your initial idea to your finished book.
This time last year, Scrivener was new to me. As ScrivenerVirgin, I can now lead you through the features that work so well for writers.
Eight weeks of planning – and learning to master Scrivener – without writing a single word!
The free SSS webinars on 19 September, 24 October, and 21 November will be geared especially for those who use Scrivener for NaNoWriMo 2016.
If you plan to take part in NaNoWriMo but have no intention of using Scrivener, that's fine. Your choice. But you might like a reminder about how NaNoWriMo works … or if it's your first NaNoWriMo, an explanation of what lies ahead.
If so, sign up for the free NANO webinars.
I was ML (Municipal Liaison!) for the counties of Devon and Cornwall for several years. It was a challenging but exciting role, which I thoroughly enjoyed … but I can't fit that time commitment into my current lifestyle.


For over a decade Chen Yujun has created works that explore the clashes between the inner self and external influences. Best known for his Temporary Family series, started in 2010, Chen seeks to examine the fragmented and shifting identities of individuals in contemporary Asia as a result of globalization and its increasing cultural position. Growing up in Putian, in the southern Fujian province, Chen Yujun was captivated by the issue of shifting identity his grandparents' generation experienced as they relocated to Nanyang (a general reference to the regions throughout Southeast Asia) to achieve better lives. Often caught up in conflicts between indigenous culture and local traditions, migrants like Chen Yujun's grandparents were constantly adjusting to seemingly new environments. Returning to their hometown much later in life and having to conform to newly established identities in a Putian, which had also transformed, came with its own set of challenges. Such experiences are all too familiar to Chen Yujun's generation who were exposed to various cultures and new concepts since the 'Open Door Policy' was initiated in 1978. For Chen, the negotiation between the internal or established system versus the accelerated changing reality became a challenging and common condition for individuals, regions, and countries throughout contemporary Asia. In Chen's work he seeks to recognize and examine these struggles, establishing a kind of internal order as he creates each new piece of work.

December 28, 2011 - By Laura Montini
Seventy-one percent of providers already use or plan to deploy cloud technology according to a report from KLAS, a research firm that specializes in monitoring health care vendor performance. The report cited cost savings, availability, security and disaster recovery as reasons for interest in the technology. However, KLAS reported that providers say their trust in public cloud options is weak, and they have concerns about data privacy and control.
A recent post by Adam Newbold, an applications architect from health insurance company Humana, explains how Humana used the Socialcast API to build an internal social network called Buzz. Socialcast is a microblogging platform that helps employees communicate within their company. Newbold said Humana has used the platform to build games, explore data and present information. "Most of these items were developed within a lunch hour and with no budget," he said.
Vicro Lab Inc. launched AVIGA, a web-based electronic health record with HIV/AIDS specific functionality. The company also developed the AVIGA REPORTER, a data-reporting module for conducting HIV/AIDS research that can be used as a standalone product or can be integrated with an existing EHR. Virco developed the platform in collaboration with the HIV treatment community.
Nuance Communications, which dominates the voice-recognition market in health IT, announced that it will acquire rival Vlingo. The new company aims to develop next-generation natural language interfaces across several markets, including health care. The companies agreed to set aside their differences; Vlingo had filed suit against Nuance this past September, alleging unfair competition and corporate bribery. Now Nuance and Vlingo have a common goal: to develop speech recognition technology to improve the iPhone's Siri (which Nuance already powers).
The Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC) announced it will create a new database to monitor the effectiveness of the HIT grants it gives to states. The ONC Health IT Dashboard will evaluate HIT implementation, will help to validate claims submitted for grant payments and will aggregate data to be made public on ONC's website.
Geisinger Health System announced the launch of MyChart a free application for iPhone and Android devices that lets users see their electronic medical information. The app is based on MyGeisinger, a patient portal that displays individual health summaries and test results and enables messaging to physicians. We believe that it's the second (following Group Health earlier this year) iPhone/Android version of Epic from a major customer.
The American Medical Alert Corp, a New York-based remote health monitoring services provider, announced that it was officially acquired by Tunstall Healthcare Group, a United Kingdom-based telehealth and telecare provider. The deal was announced in September and is said to be worth $82.3 million, according to Healthcare IT News.
The mHealth Alliance and the Rockerfeller Foundation announced the winners of the Top 11 in 2011 Innovators Challenge earlier this month. The competition recognized people who developed mobile technology to improve care in remote areas of the world. Among the winners were Alain Labrique for mCare, which facilitates pregnancy surveillance and Ashok Jhunjhunwala for Voice Net, voice-based information retrieval and transaction that aids health care delivery in India.
A recent article on Government Health IT said that Maine is model for other states with its all-payer claims database (APCD). The Maine Health Access Foundation gave HealthInfoNet a $198,659 grant, which the nonprofit organization is using to link the statewide Health Information Exchange to Maine Health Data Organization's APCD. The collaboration allows for a look at both dollars spent and clinical outcomes in patient populations.

AUSTEN, Edward Ernest 1867 - 16 January 1938
Primarily known as a Dipterist and Hymenopterist but 295 Coleoptera collected by him during the expedition to the River Amazon and the Cape Verde Islands on board the S.S.'Faraday' 13 December 1895 - 14 April 1896 were acquired by the NHM in 1896 and 126 Coleoptera were among the insects from Sierra Leone the NHM acquired from him in 1899. There is an obituary by K.G.Blair in EMM, 74, 1938, 42-43. (MD 6/18)
AUSTIN, W. Coleoptera from Scotland bearing this name and the date 1875 are in the collection of C.G.Hall at Oldham Museum. (Information from S.Hayhow) (MD 7.01)
B., C.G. Tony Irwin informs me that there are a number of insects bearing the initials GCB in E.A.Butler's foreign collection of Coleoptera and Hemiptera at Norwich Museum. (MD 10/03)
BABINGTON, Charles Cardale.C. 23 November 1808-22 July 1895 Born at Ludlow, Shropshire, the son of Joseph Babington (1768-1826), a physician. Educated at Charterhouse and at Cambridge where he obtained B.A.(1830), M.A.(1833) and first became interested in plants, the study of which eventually led him to become Professor of Botany at Cambridge from 1861-1895. Babington's work on botany also involved him in entomology, and in 1833 he was a founder member of the Entomological Society. It would appear, however, that it was the extensive field work all over Britain (he also visited Iceland in 1846) which he undertook in connection with the publication of his magnum opus the Botanical Manual, (eight editions in the 19th century alone) that really fired his interest in the Coleoptera in particular. By 1860 the Ent.Ann. listed Coleoptera as his only interest but noted that he had stopped collecting, and was 'happy to give information'. Babington was clearly known to Charles Darwin as is clear from a letter in the latter's published correspondence to W.D.Fox dated 1 April 1829: 'I have caught Mr Harbour letting Babington have the first pick of the beettles [sic]..' It is not surprising, therefore, that he should have been chosen to describe some of the beetle species (Dytiscidae) from the 'Beagle' voyage. Babington was an enthusiastic Committee man. Whilst at Cambridge he became Secretary of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, a position he held for many years, and in 1830 he joined the Linnean Society. Three years later, on the occasion of the first meeting of the British Association at Cambridge, he was appointed Secretary of the natural history section, and from that time until 1871 he was rarely absent from their annual meetings. From 1853-1861 he acted as President of the section. In 1836 he was one of the founder members of the Ray Club, of which he acted as Secretary for fifty five years, and he was on the Council of the Ray Society. In 1840 he was one of the founders of the Cambridge Antiquarian Society, and in 1850 he joined the Cambrian Archaeological Association, serving as Chairman of its committee from 1855 to 1885, He was also a member of many other national and local societies. Babington married Anna Maria the daughter of John Walker on 3 April 1866. There is a portrait of him by William Tizard in St, John's College. The best account is his autobiographical: Memorials, Journal and Botanical Correspondence, Cambridge, 1897; and there are shorter notices in DNB (Supplement), and in Alumni Cantabrigiensis II (1), 1940. (MD 9/01)
Duff (1993), p.3 records that Babington 'was probably the first resident Somerset coleopterist as he came to live in Bath at the age of 14'. (MD 10/03)
BACKHOUSE, J.O Various references in Stephens (1828-1831) eg. 1, p.56 (MD 9/01)
BADGERLEY
The NHM purchased beetles from Badgerley on 20 Sept. 1849. (MD 8/17)
BADGLEY, W.F Collected Platyrhopalopus badgleyi in Assam which W.W.Fowler named after him. He served as a colonel in the army. (MD 9/01)
BADHAM, Charles David 1806-1857 Published two books which mention beetles: The Question concerning the Sensibility, Intelligence and instinctive Actions of Insects, Paris, 1837 and Insect Life, 1845. In the latter he describes himself as 'Late Radcliffe Travelling Fellow of the University of Oxford, Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London and Member of the Entomological Society of France.' (MD 9/01)
BAGNALL, Richard Siddoway b. 14 July 1889 Primarily known for his work on minor insect groups and terrestrial invertebrates, but he did publish one or two articles about beetles including: 'Notes on some Coleoptera imported into our northern ports', EMM., 42, 1906, pp.36-38. Coleoptera and other insects collected by him were donated to the Hancock Museum, Newcastle upon Tyne between 1904-1909. For a biographical note, etc. see L.A.Mound, 'A review of R.B.Bagnall's Thysanoptera Collections', Bull. BMNH. (Ent. Suppl.) 2, 1968, pp.1-180. (MD 9/01)
BAIKIE, William Balfour 27 August 1825-12 December 1864 Born at Kirkwall, Orkney, the oldest son of Captain John Baikie RN. Educated at the local grammar school and the University of Edinburgh where he obtained his MD. Entered the Royal Navy in 1848 as a surgeon and after serving on various ships in the Mediterranean, became assistant surgeon at the Haslar Hospital, Gosport, from 1851-54. Here he came under the influence of Sir Roderick Murchison who procured for him the post of surgeon and naturalist on the expedition to the River Niger in 1854 which travelled over two hundred and fifty miles further up river than any previous expedition and about which Baikie published a Narrative of an Exploring Voyage up the River Niger, 1856. In April of the following year he commanded a further expedition to the Niger which was disbanded after his ship sank. Baikie carried on alone, however, and bought land at Lukoja where he eventually became the head of a considerable native settlement. In this capicity he was responsible for opening up roads and establishing new markets. He died in Sierra Leone while returning home for a well earned period of leave. Baikie's interest in Coleoptera appears to have commenced while he was at the Haslar hospital. He assisted Arthur Adams with his Manual of Natural History, 1854, and with his 'Systematic List of the Coleoptera found in the vicinity of Alverstoke, South Hants.', Zool, 14-16, 1856-58. He is listed in the Ent.Ann., 1866, p.2 as interested in Coleoptera, Myriapoda and Arachnida, and is known to have returned from the first Niger expedition with extensive collections. To the obituary listed by Gilbert,P. (1977) may be added Illustrated London News, 46, 1865, p.88 (with portrait) and RGS Journal, 35, 1865, p.123. There is also an account of him in the DNB. Baikie also published an account of the mammals and birds of the Orkneys in 1848. (MD 9/01)


Princess Filler Treatment Toronto | Fairview Laser Clinic Inc.
Princess Filler is manufactured and created by Croma, one of Europe's leading pharmaceutical companies when it comes to fillers and skincare. It is a dermal filler that can be used cosmetically to enhance any area of the face. The injectable gel is sterile, non-soluble and very safe for cosmetic and aesthetic use to smooth out targeted areas of the face.
Princess dermal fillers are specially designed to fight aging signs with natural results. It is a hyaluronic acid based filler, which is a naturally occurring substance in the body that is responsible for maintaining the firmness and elasticity of the skin, as well as keeping it plump and hydrated. Overtime, the amount of hyaluronic acid produced in the skin declines due to the natural aging process and environmental factors such as sun exposure and free radicals. As a result, the skin can start to sag, form lines and wrinkles, and lack hydration and volume.
Princess fillers work especially well for areas of the face and can effectively smooth out lines in between the brows, on the chin, and in the nasolabial folds. The filler can also be used to re-shape the chin, as well as contour and add volume to the lips to give a fuller appearance. It is safe for use in many areas of the face.
Princess filler has the ability to last for a longer period of time when injected into the skin as it is manufactured using Supreme Monophasic and Reticular Technology (SMART). The solution will be injected into the treatment site using a tiny needle, which is relatively painless for many patients. If you are particularly sensitive to pain, a topical anesthetic can be applied at the injection site before receiving treatment to minimize your discomfort.
Princess fillers provide immediate results that fight signs of aging on the face. It has the ability to fight aging signs that result from a loss of bone mass, skin elasticity, collagen loss, and wrinkle formation. Furthermore, Princess fillers can be used to restore volume on the hands to help rejuvenate and give virtality to the skin on the hands. Results from Princess fillers are immediate and have the ability to last several months in the skin, depending on the location.
Princess fillers are a great treatment option for patients who want to fight signs of aging that cannot be erased with even the most advanced skincare products on the market. Princess fillers work by spreading out onto the skin slowly, which adds to its longevity as well as helps achieve a very natural appearance.
Your results from Princess fillers will typically last between 6 to 10 months, although this can vary from patient to patient depending on the location of the injection site as well as how quickly their body metabolizes the material. Princess fillers are a temporary solution to fight signs of aging and can be repeated safely to maintain optimal results.


I'm getting ready to hit the road. First stop is an annual party/picnic in rural Virgina where I'll see a lot of my jazz musician pals from the old days in DC. From there, it's up to Northern VA to pick up my grandson Landon and head for Kentucky and the convention. Landon has decided to perform at Jr. Open Mic. Except he doesn't know which figure to use. He has an Axtell Burd, an Axtell monkey, and a Danny O'Day.
I am giving him Harry Porter, the small Tim Cowles figure I modified to look like, guess who, Harry Potter. It's Landon's reward for performing, and he might just decide to use Harry in his show.
This is Landon's first performance in front of strangers, and he is understandably nervous. If you are at the convention, please attend Jr. Open Mic and give him lots of encouragement. He's got the number three spot on the program, so don't be late.


2009 Eurovision winner Alexander Rybak is once again trying to win it all for Norway. His charisma and stagecraft are out of question while his entry "That's how you write a song" leaves a bit to be desired. Nonetheless it's great to see such an energetic performer to be back on the stage in Lisbon!
The staging is as before in mgp. On-screen graphics, dancers, cheeky family fun.

South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is returning $30,250 from 39 individuals that are registered lobbyists.
Buttigieg will no longer accept donations from lobbyists, returns $30,250 contributions South Bend, Indiana Mayor Pete Buttigieg is returning $30,250 from 39 individuals that are registered lobbyists. Check out this story on eveningsun.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2019/04/26/pete-buttigieg-returns-lobbyist-donations/3592058002/
Rebecca Morin, USA TODAY Published 6:19 p.m. ET April 26, 2019
Mayor Pete Buttigieg is not your typical candidate for president. A previous version of this video misstated the age when Buttigieg was elected mayor. USA TODAY
Pete Buttigieg announced Friday that his campaign will no longer accept donations from registered lobbyists and will return over $30,000 in donations.
In an email to supporters, Buttigieg campaign manager Mike Schmuhl wrote that the mayor will return $30,250 of contributions that have been made to date from 39 individuals who are registered lobbyists. Buttigieg is the mayor of South Bend, Indiana,

Schmuhl wrote that Buttigieg's campaign "will not be influenced by special-interest money, and we understand that making this promise is an important part of that commitment."
The Buttigieg campaign will no longer accept donations from federal lobbyists, registered lobbyists, corporate PACs or money from the fossil fuel industry.
Several Democratic candidates, including Sens. Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Kirsten Gillibrand, Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren, have all sworn to no take any money from lobbyists or PACs.
Most recently, former Vice President Joe Biden also announced that he will not be accepting contributions from lobbyists.

Buttigieg press secretary Chris Meagher said the campaign's decision had "nothing to do with anything" or anyone else, and pointed back to the email to Buttigieg's supporters.
"We understand that making this decision and being vocal about our values is important; that the decision means more than just whether or not we are willing to accept money from a specific individual," the email said. "Standing up for our collective values not only includes saying we believe that campaigns should not take money from lobbyists; it also means being aware of the loopholes that still allow special interests to impact the campaign."

Global Solutions to Violence In 2003, DJPC introduced a new program, Global Solutions to Violence (GSTV), to teach students in local high schools and youth programs about issues related to peacemaking, nonviolence and globalization. The program curriculum explores conflict, thus creating the potential for a paradigm shift away from physical and economic violence. While DJPC no longer directly offers GSTV, we want to make the curriculum available to as many teachers and students as possible. Lesson plans can be accessed online and include printer friendly versions. Resources are presented in each lesson and an additional resource list is also offered. The lessons are available at no charge, however, we do hope that you will make a donation for the value received. Donations may be made to "DJPC Education Fund" and will be gratefully appreciated.
The GSTV Program encourages students to think critically about issues of nonviolence, globalization and international human rights. The curriculum exposes students to the forces underlying some very complex global issues, engages them in interactive activities and suggests resources and actions for future learning. The hope is that students will become active in their local and global communities and bring new solutions to political, social and economic problems.
By utilizing a participatory popular education approach, teachers are able to explore with their students how situations of economic injustice have arisen and various considerations for their resolution. The interactive exercises engage the students in ways that help them better understand how decisions, as diverse as their personal buying choices and determination of national trade policies, directly affect the lives of families in the developing world and at home. Lessons are designed to challenge prejudices, stimulate critical thought and inform students about issues of social and economic justice. Using maps, readings and simulation exercises, students gain an understanding of their own and others' roles in our global society. As much as possible, GSTV employs primary sources with articles and videos from American Friends Service Committee, Amnesty International's Human Rights Education program, National Network for Immigrant and Refugee Rights, Witness for Peace, as well as local and international media.

Order the book from the publisher's website.
Chapter 7 of Rock and Romanticism: Blake, Wordsworth, and Rock from Dylan to U2 is "'When the Light that's Lost within Us Reaches the Sky': Jackson Browne's Romantic Vision," pp. 95-110, by Gary L. Tandy, Chair and Professor of the English and Theater Departments, George Fox University.
"'When the Light that's Lost within Us Reaches the Sky': Jackson Browne's Romantic Vision" by Gary Tandy evaluates Jackson Browne's music against the taxonomy provided by Löwy and Sayre in Romanticism Against the Tide of Modernity (2001) to argue that Browne is indeed a twentieth-century American Romantic poet. Exploring the themes of rejection of contemporary society, nostalgia for paradise lost, and a vision of paradise regained, Tandy sees in Browne's musical career alternations between revolutionary and utopian Romantic anti-capitalisms. Browne rejects current socio-economic structures in his longing for a lost world, but at the same time actively advocates for change through a clearly defined agenda that he seeks to see materially and politically realized in his lifetime. Tandy's compelling comparisons of Browne's work to Wordsworth's not only support his argument that Browne is a Romantic poet, but point out significant influence and identify Browne as an American reinvention of Wordsworth.
