Thomas Crean (Irish: Tomás Ó Cuirín; c. 16 February 1877 – 27 July 1938) was an Irish seaman and Antarctic explorer who was awarded the Albert Medal for Lifesaving (AM).
Crean was a member of three major expeditions to Antarctica during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, including Robert Falcon Scott's 1911–1913 Terra Nova Expedition. This saw the race to reach the South Pole lost to Roald Amundsen and ended in the deaths of Scott and his party. During the expedition, Crean's 35-statute-mile (56 km) solo walk across the Ross Ice Shelf to save the life of Edward Evans led to him receiving the Albert Medal. (Source: Wikipedia)

I’ve bolded those names who are either current or former members of the BJU Board of Trustees. UPDATE: I eliminated this indication after receiving all the names who signed.
The men present who voted unanimously were either all of those or some of those. We don’t know. We can presume that the Officers were all likely present: Kevin Schaal, Gordan Dickson, Taigen Joos, Bud Steadman, and Michael Privett.
Who abstained? Bob III didn’t. Mike Harding as a present BJU Board member? Stephen Jones as a very absent member of the Royal family? Mark Minnick as a current employee?
The only name on there that I can guarantee did not abstain was Don Johnson, but he’s an old friend of mine. ;)
What do you think?
UPDATE, May 15, 2023: The Positives have added an unredacted signatory list. WutBJU will mark all those signatories on the above list in bold italics.

LA DA Gascon
For the second time in six weeks, Los Angeles prosecutors have failed to convince judges that sheriff’s deputies assaulted a gang member after he fled from a gunfight with law enforcement, court records show.
District Attorney George Gascon has had back-to-back losses that are almost unheard of in the office, said attorney Josh Ritter, who defended one of the deputies.***
On Thursday, Superior Court Judge Norman Shapiro denied a prosecutor’s motion to reinstate charges against sheriff’s deputies Woodrow Kim and Jonathan Miramontes for filing a false police report and assault in 2018.
The case was dismissed by Judge Robert Coen during an Aug. 11 preliminary hearing to determine whether enough evidence existed for a trial.*** https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/crime/los-angeles-da-gascon-handed-another-police-prosecution-defeat

Prolly want the eternal warrant on the a/c unit you’re buying
A Kansas man was sentenced [Thurs] to 30 years in prison for impersonating a minor female on social media and enticing dozens of minors in the Topeka area to record and send him sexually explicit images and videos of themselves. ***
Jeffrey D. Pierce, 42, of Topeka, was a former teacher and basketball coach at Seaman High School in Topeka who impersonated a minor female on various social media platforms and induced minor males in the Topeka area to create and send him images of themselves engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Evidence recovered from Pierce’s phones and other electronic devices shows that his exploitative scheme lasted for at least several years and that he targeted minors in his own community, including his own students at the high school where he formerly taught. *** To date, the FBI has identified over 80 minors who were victimized by Pierce. Pierce’s online communications with these victims established that he coerced at least one minor to send him additional sexually explicit material by threatening to distribute that minor’s images to others, distributed sexually explicit images of other minors, and encouraged another minor to engage in in-person sexual conduct with him while he was still impersonating a minor female. In total, law enforcement recovered from Pierce’s electronic devices several thousand images and videos depicting minor males engaged in sexually explicit conduct, as well as hundreds of screenshots of social media accounts belonging to other users and multiple images of nude and undressing minors that appear to have been taken in locker rooms at two Topeka high schools.*** https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/former-teacher-sentenced-producing-child-sexual-abuse-material

To Catch a Pedo-Pete
DANVILLE, Ind. — The jury was waiting. They’d cringed when they learned what kind of case they’d hear in this Indiana courthouse. Child solicitation.
But don’t worry, the county prosecutors assured them. There would be no graphic pictures. There would be no testimony from an abused child.
Because in this case, there was no child.
The man charged with the crime — a 37-year-old veteran named Joshua Clark — didn’t know the 14-year-old girl he thought he was texting with was actually an adult, prosecutors said.
Law enforcement had been using this tactic for years, investing millions to train detectives on how to go online, pretend to be teenagers and wait for predators to emerge. Clark knew they conducted sting operations like these; after serving in the Army and working in a prison, he’d been hired as a police officer himself. That was, until he was arrested and fired.
Now on this July morning, the jury was going to meet the person responsible for catching this cop.
The prosecutor stood up. “The state calls Eric Schmutte,” she said.
The courtroom doors opened. But no detective walked in.
Instead, there was a man in a polo shirt. His dreadlocks were tucked into a ponytail. After raising his right hand and swearing to tell the truth, Schmutte, a 35-year-old welder, began to explain why he was there.*** https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/09/22/prredator-catchers-vigilante-justice/

ODESSA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — An 83-year-old woman was shot while passing out pamphlets at a home in Ionia County, Michigan State Police said.
On Tuesday afternoon, the woman got into what police called an “alleged verbal altercation” while she passed out pamphlets. She was shot in the shoulder.
The woman then drove herself to the Lake Odessa Police Department to report it and was taken to the hospital where she was treated and released.***  https://www.woodtv.com/news/83-year-old-woman-shot-while-passing-out-pamphlets-in-ionia-co/

Sound like society ignoring the homeless poo-flinger?
[Amos wrote 786–746 B.C.]  1 Am 6:1a, 4-7
Woe to the complacent in Zion! Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock, and calves from the stall! Improvising to the music of the harp, like David, they devise their own accompaniment. They drink wine from bowls and anoint themselves with the best oils; yet they are not made ill by the collapse of Joseph!

Somebody’s son; somebody’s dad
(CNN)Marnette Gordon was doing laundry at home in Minneapolis one summer morning last year when a call came from her 36-year-old son.
She figured her son, Telly Blair, was checking in to see if she wanted a soda from a gas station down the street, where he often went for fuel and snacks."Mom, I've been shot," he said. "Call the police!"
Marnette, her other son Tamarcus and his 12-year-old daughter rushed to the gas station from their home in the city's north side, a part of town long beset by violent crime.
Blair's family came upon his blue 1986 Chevy Caprice at pump No. 5 — beating police and paramedics by a few minutes, they said — only to find him slumped in his car, bleeding from multiple bullet wounds in his chest. A 17-year-old male in an orange hoodie had fired nine rounds from a handgun into Blair's car before running off.
While an off-duty nurse in scrubs who'd been at the gas station tried to stop his bleeding, Marnette — a heart-transplant recipient — couldn't bear to watch and stood at a distance. Telly was her caretaker.
"It was just horrible to see him sitting there, waiting on the ambulance," she told CNN.
The 12-year-old called 911 while watching her uncle struggle to breathe.
"Oh my God, please," the girl, who was crying, said to a dispatcher, according to 911 transcripts of the August 9, 2021 shooting obtained by CNN. "Hurry up, hurry up, hurry, hurry, he's dead, hurry up!"
Telly Blair was among 93 people who were murdered in Minneapolis last year, city crime data shows. That's just a few shy of the total killings in 1995, when the city earned the nickname "Murderapolis." (Neighboring St. Paul witnessed 38 murders last year — a historic high.)***
[In 2020]  the number of murders soared to nearly 80 — dwarfing the 2019 body count of 46. It has cooled somewhat this year, though the amount of killing — and violent crime in general — remains elevated far above 2019 levels and homicides are on pace to surpass the 2020 figure.***
Against this backdrop, the political pendulum on public-safety matters in this reliably liberal city — the "Mini Apple" hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1973, and that was for just a single day — seems to have swung away from a progressive mindset towards the middle.
And on matters of public safety, the middle is where many of the city's Black residents already were.
Last year, progressives touted a ballot measure that was said to be a referendum on the "defund" concept. Question 2, as it was known locally, would have replaced the Minneapolis Police Department with a new "public health-oriented" Department of Public Safety and removed a minimum staffing requirement from the city charter.
It failed in November, with 56% of voters rejecting it. That figure was 61% in north Minneapolis, a pair of neighboring city wards where Blacks make up a strong plurality of the roughly 66,000 residents. All but one of the 17 precincts in the north voted against the measure.
"We did not believe that the police should be defunded, but we do believe in police reforms," said Bishop Richard Howell of Shiloh Temple, a north-side church founded more than 90 years ago.
Rae McKay-Anderson — Telly Blair's sister — said "you can't possibly defund the police in a way that's going to benefit the Black community."***
"When I got to the hospital, the doctors were like, 'Well, you're some lucky lady and you must be somebody special because you have no metal fragments in your body,'" Howard said. The bullets, she said, "went through and through.
"Howard, who was against the "defund" initiative, said there are specific reforms she would like to see, starting with a push to require more officers to live in the city they serve.(A 2017 Star Tribune report found that just 8% of MPD officers lived in Minneapolis. Chauvin lived in the suburb of Oakdale, where nearly 72% of the residents are White.)
"All Black men are not big and scary," Howard said. "All Black women are not angry. So, you know, you have to be able to know the community."
But she realizes that even with such reforms, improvement would take time.
"I don't even walk Broadway anymore," Howard said, while eying the thoroughfare from a distance, close to where she was shot. "I've seen the cars speeding up and down when they're chasing each other. And then when they start shooting, it can come from anywhere. So I don't even do that anymore. And I never used to be afraid coming over here." https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/25/us/minneapolis-crime-defund-invs/index.html

Big Easy
[New Orleans]  still missing 15% of its tourist jobs, and crime is rampant: A random attacker stabbed two people Saturday in the French Quarter. 
The United States has had a bad time since 2020, but New Orleans has really had a bad time. This year, 203 people have been murdered, a third above last year and more than double the pre-COVID level. 
The killings bring the murder rate to an unheard-of high. In a city with a population shy of 400,000, the current pace is an annual murder rate of 70 per 100,000, multiple times the national average.  
Most of the victims are black men and boys. But this year’s fatalities also include a middle-aged woman dragged to her death by four carjacking teens and a 17-year-old girl killed by a stray bullet. 
Cops are deserting the force by the hundreds. ***  https://nypost.com/2022/09/25/a-mayoral-recall-is-murder-capital-new-orleans-last-chance/

STOCK Act in the news
***A recent New York Times investigation should do the trick. The Times dug into the stock trades that members of Congress made from 2019 to 2021. They found many cases in which politicians or their close family members made stock trades in circumstances in which they could have had insider knowledge.
"From 2019 to 2021, 183 current senators or representatives reported a trade of a stock or another financial asset by themselves or an immediate family member," the Times reports . "More than half of them sat on congressional committees that potentially gave them insight into the companies whose shares they reported buying or selling." The Times investigation also revealed that "44 of the 50 members of Congress who were most active in the markets bought or sold securities in companies over which their committee assignments could give them some degree of knowledge or influence."
This investigation is not exhaustive. Other cases of suspected corruption, such as the widely followed trading carried out by the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, aren't captured in the results. That's because the speaker does not technically sit on any committees. In turn, the full measure of possible conflict-of-interests is even broader than the Times results suggest.***https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/restoring-america/fairness-justice/investigation-into-congressional-stock-trading-reveals-massive-corruption-red-flags

“That’s what has to happen for now at least, until we can hire more people, train more people and stop the attrition, so we stop shrinking, this is what’s going to have to happen,” Police Association of New Orleans (PANO) President Capt. Michael Glasser told WWL-TV. 
The department has now fallen below 950 commissioned officers. The NOPD was built for 1600.’ 
“We have to adjust daily in our commitment is to the safety of those officers as well as the safety of our citizens and visitors of New Orleans,” Ferguson said. “We must be successful and creative in reimagining policing, staffing and deployment given the challenges we are facing today.” 
The department has also identified 75 new civilian positions to support NOPD officers.   
To help bolster recruiting, Ferguson said prior marijuana usage and low credit scores will no longer be held against NOPD applicants.  
Sunday, The NOPD officially replaced 11-year Public Integrity Bureau deputy chief Arlinda Westbrook with attorney Keith Sanchez, a former police officer.

Another Defense Logistics Agency achievement
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Federal authorities are trying to figure out how at least a dozen fully-automatic M16s ended up among military surplus equipment sold to a Houston couple.
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) executed a search warrant in a Richmond-area storage facility on Monday afternoon. However, that only came after the couple voluntarily notified authorities of their highly-unusual find.
Last week, the couple - who runs a side hustle of buying surplus lots, dividing up the products, and reselling them on eBay - received delivery of 108 empty storage cases sold by a government surplus website. Over the weekend, a friend helped the couple stack and store the cases. As a thank you, they gave one of the cases to the friend.
When that friend opened the case, he realized it was not empty. Inside were 12 fully-automatic M16s, all of them still with various tags designating the military branch and name of service members who handled the weapons.*** https://abc13.com/resellers-receive-guns-military-surplus-boxes-m16s-shipped-to-houston-ebay/12269500/

Only current b/c of ads
In the movies, there have been quite a few handsome and noble defense lawyers. And one of the best known may be the military lawyer played by Tom Cruise in “A Few Good Men,” the 1992 courtroom drama about a hazing gone awry at the Guantánamo naval base in Cuba.
So it has been quite a distinction for a Connecticut lawyer named Walter C. Bansley III to claim — with some basis — that he “was the actual military lawyer played by Tom Cruise,” as he did on his Web site (until he was asked about it this week).***
Mr. Sorkin got the idea for the play and movie from his sister, a young military lawyer in the 1980s who represented a Marine in a court-martial at Guantánamo over a hazing incident, he has said in interviews.
Each of the four men who believe Tom Cruise brought them to life on film played a role in that case. (The script calls the Cruise character “almost impossible not to like.”) Ten Marines faced assault charges, and each had a military lawyer.
Several of the lawyers had good hair, including David C. Iglesias, a Navy lawyer at the time. He later became nationally known as the United States attorney in New Mexico who said he was fired for political reasons along with six other United States attorneys in 2006 by the administration of President George W.

Who assaults a 7-foot 260lb athlete?
For the last several weeks, Bill Walton, the basketball legend, Grateful Dead fan and avid bicyclist – perhaps San Diego’s most famous resident – has been sending Mayor Todd Gloria emails about the homeless crisis in San Diego.
He’s extremely frustrated.
“you have failed, us and yourself,” he wrote in one, Sept. 2, in a lower-case spoken-word style. He complained of bad personal encounters he had.
“once again, while peacefully riding my bike early this Sunday morning in Balboa Park, I was threatened, chased, and assaulted by the homeless population, in our Park,” he wrote Aug. 28.
“once again, you’ve done, and continue to do, nothing.”***
His politics are generally in line with Gloria’s. When former Mayor Bob Filner resigned, there were rumors Walton would consider running for mayor. Since then, he’s been a convener of support for the political network that helped Gloria become mayor. Just recently, Walton held a fundraiser for Councilwoman Jen Campbell. He asked her to address homelessness above all to his gathered friends and neighbors.***
“you speak of the rights of the homes, what about our rights, we follow the rules of a functioning society, why are others allowed to disregard those rules,” Walton wrote, Aug. 24. “your lack of action is unacceptable, as is the conduct of the homeless population.”***
Even the progressive Council President Sean Elo-Rivera, who came into our studio to record a special podcast on the topic, and who often talks about his own unsheltered stint, is supportive of more enforcement, especially focused, though, on people preying on the homeless selling drugs or trafficking them. *** https://voiceofsandiego.org/2022/09/16/you-have-failed-us-and-yourself-bill-walton-has-had-it-with-the-mayors-approach-to-homelessness/

Let’s all take public transportation!
A homeless man who was captured on surveillance footage beating a woman inside a Queens subway station last week was arrested as a teen decades ago for killing his own grandmother.
The suspect, 41-year-old Waheed Foster, has a lengthy criminal history, including a bust for beating his grandmother to death in 1995 when he was just 14.
The elderly victim, Ariela Mascha, had 20 broken ribs, a stab wound in the leg and a punctured liver, police said at the time.
The brutal attack was sparked over a fight about money, police said then.
He was later convicted in her death, but it’s unclear how long he served.***
Last week, Foster allegedly launched at a woman after she ignored him on a train, police said Monday.
The attack happened just after 5 a.m. Sept. 20 as the 33-year-old victim tried to exit the northbound A train at the Howard Beach stop without engaging with the man, cops said.***
Foster allegedly chased the woman off the train, attacking her near the subway entrance, cops said.***
The victim told ABC 7 she hasn’t slept in a week as her head pounds with pain.
“Do you know how scared I am now? I was never a person to be scared,” victim Elizabeth Gomes told the television station.***
Foster was also arrested in 2010 for stabbing a 50-year-old woman in the cheek and shoulder, police sources said. The violence occurred at a mental institution where he punched two other people, according to a lawsuit that stemmed from the incident.
He’s on parole until 2024 for the 2010 assault, sources said.
Foster’s other prior arrests include busts for assaulting a woman with a screwdriver, criminal mischief, robbery and larceny, the sources said.
In 2004, he attempted to escape from a transport vehicle while he was a state prison inmate, the Post-Standard reported back then.
Foster has two other pending criminal matters on charges of criminal mischief and minor theft.  https://nypost.com/2022/09/26/vagrant-seen-pummeling-woman-in-nyc-subway-station-killed-his-own-grandmother-in-the-90s/

Just wait until she’s a teenager
WEATHERFORD, Texas (WOAI/TND) — A 12-year-old girl and her father were both shot in what a Texas sheriff's office says was a plot by the girl to murder her family.
The girl lives in the city of Weatherford, roughly 60 miles west of Dallas. She allegedly plotted with another girl more than 200 miles away in Lufkin to murder both their families. The sheriff's office investigating the situation did not say how the two girls were in contact with each other.
"This case illustrates just how vitally important it is for parents to know who their children are friends with, and that would be whether in the classroom, on social media like TikTok and Snapchat, and even gaming platforms,” Jessica Pebsworth, the communications director for the city of Lufkin, told WOAI.
The 12-year-old shot herself in the head after shooting her father in the abdomen and fleeing the scene shortly before midnight Sept. 20, authorities said. The girl and her 38-year-old father are both in the hospital.
Police said the other girl from Lufkin had planned on killing her father, too, but changed her mind. She's charged with criminal conspiracy in the planning of the murder plot.*** https://thenationaldesk.com/news/americas-news-now/12-year-old-girl-shoots-her-father-in-plot-to-murder-family-parker-county-sheriff-office-russ-authier-says-weatherford-texas-abdomen-head-wound-tiktok-snapchat-murder-pact-minors-injuries

Firing whistleblowers doesn’t end well
Sen Grassley & Johnson sent a letter on 26sep22 to FBI & DoJ about firing a whistleblower.
FBI leadership directed Field Office personnel to conduct interviews of January 6 subjects even though there was no direct evidence that they were in Washington, D.C. on January 6, and to use aggressive tactics, such as SWAT teams, when apprehending suspects accused of non-violent misdemeanors, even in cases where those suspects were represented by counsel and cooperating with the Government’s requests for information.
FBI is also reporting cases as being investigated by agents who had no part in investigating them.

CHICAGO—Many Black voters in some of Chicago’s most violent neighborhoods are frustrated that Democrats haven’t curbed persistent crime or fixed the economic problems that underpin it, prompting some to weigh sitting out upcoming elections.
The Republican effort to win the Illinois governor’s race this fall has centered on calling for more police officers and blaming Democrats for violent crime in Chicago, which last year had one of its worst years since the 1990s before some types of crimes receded this year. Republican aides and strategists said they wouldn’t come close to winning deep-blue areas of the state such as Chicago but that they hoped to chip away at the Democratic advantage in the city, which could be achieved if some voters stay home.***  https://www.wsj.com/articles/some-black-chicagoans-hit-by-crime-consider-skipping-midterm-elections-11664309629

BHR
On the morning of July 12, 2020, the first orange flickers of destruction took hold in the bowels of the hulking USS Bonhomme Richard as it sat moored at a San Diego naval base.
Unimpeded, the fire gathered force, surging upward, conquering one level of the 844-foot ship and then the next, while the crew — the ship’s critical firefighting force — fled to the pier. There, the captain and his sailors stood by as the Bonhomme Richard burned, in cruel irony of its motto “I have not yet begun to fight.”***
Four days later, when the fire was officially out, the U.S. Navy faced the sickening loss of a $1.2 billion-dollar warship, not to war, or even at sea. But to a wholly preventable fire while moored in a stateside port. For the Navy, whose reputation as the world’s finest had been battered by recent collisions at sea and allegations of shoddy equipment and training, the loss of the Bonhomme Richard was an embarrassing — and painfully public — blow.
The service immediately launched two parallel investigations into what went wrong and why.
The command investigation, led by a three-star admiral, sent a team of investigators on a prodigious and methodical examination of the fire. As the months passed, the investigators uncovered in exhaustive detail an astonishing array of failures — broken or missing fire hoses, poorly trained sailors, improperly stored hazardous material — that had primed the ship for a calamitous fire.
A separate investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, for its part, focused on whether anyone was criminally responsible. As the months passed, NCIS investigators appeared to operate in isolation, discounting the damning findings of the command investigation to pursue a case of arson, despite scant evidence.***
The NCIS investigation, however, laid the blame at the feet of a single young sailor. The true culprit, the one who bore responsibility for the billion-dollar loss, the Navy said, was then-20-year-old Ryan Mays. And for that, he should face life in prison.***
Just days before the fire, Mays had angrily texted his division officer, complaining about having to live among contractors who were doing work that was “hazardous as fuck.” A worker was welding near his bunk as he slept, and Mays said he was burned by a stray spark. In 2015, a major fire started on another warship in a shipyard with similar conditions: sailors moving aboard while “hot work” was being done.
The command investigators hung posters of ship drawings all over the walls, each one tracking a different potential problem. While NCIS’ early impressions of the case included a theory of sabotage, another picture altogether was becoming clear to command investigators: The Bonhomme Richard had been a tinderbox.***
On July 24, 2020, less than one week after beginning the criminal investigation, the ATF preliminarily ruled the Bonhomme Richard fire to be arson.
The lead ATF agent, Matthew Beals, and his team of investigators had found no physical evidence anyone purposefully set the fire. Beals later testified that he’d ruled out accidental causes, such as electrical and mechanical, as well as natural ones. With those causes eliminated, along with his assessment of how the fire grew and witnesses' statements, he concluded it must have been arson.
The National Fire Protection Association’s 921 guide, essentially the fire investigation bible, requires investigators to use the scientific method to determine cause. “You can’t in the absence of everything else rule it was arson,” Robert Duval, a director with the association, told ProPublica. ATF said it could not comment on pending litigation. Beals testified that his methods followed the manual and his conclusions were based on a variety of evidence.*** https://www.propublica.org/article/bonhomme-richard-fire-safety-lapses
The Article 32 Investigating Officer recommended not prosecuting the case.  The Vice Admiral in charge disregarded that advice.

FBI in the news
Thirty former FBI agents, including a retired deputy assistant director, head of counterterrorism and five SWAT team members, have spoken out publicly in support of suspended FBI whistleblower Stephen Friend.
Their heartfelt messages, obtained exclusively by The Post, show a deep and widespread anguish about the politicization of the FBI.
“It’s time to stop the FBI from being the enforcer of a political party’s ideology,” says Ernie Tibaldi, a retired agent from San Francisco. “We need to reestablish the FBI as the apolitical and independent law enforcement entity that it always was.”
He expressed gratitude to Friend “for having the courage to stand up to the corruption that has taken over the leadership of the FBI.”
Many former agents hailed Friend, a SWAT team member in Florida, as a “hero,” after he was punished for refusing to participate in what he regarded as unnecessarily heavy-handed SWAT raids over Jan. 6 misdemeanors.
In his whistleblower complaint to the Department of Justice inspector general, Friend alleged that the FBI has been manipulating case-file management in order to falsely inflate the threat of domestic terrorism, and using unconstitutional, excessive force against political dissenters.*** https://nypost.com/2022/09/28/30-ex-fbi-agents-stand-up-to-support-whistleblower-who-exposed-agencys-political-bias/

routine Twitter problem
Sept 28 (Reuters) - Some major advertisers including Dyson, Mazda, Forbes and PBS Kids have suspended their marketing campaigns or removed their ads from parts of Twitter because their promotions appeared alongside tweets soliciting child pornography, the companies told Reuters.
Brands ranging from Walt Disney Co (DIS.N), NBCUniversal (CMCSA.O) and Coca-Cola Co (KO.N) to a children's hospital were among more than 30 advertisers that appeared on the profile pages of Twitter accounts peddling links to the exploitative material, according to a Reuters review of accounts identified in new research about child sex abuse online from cybersecurity group Ghost Data.
Some of tweets include key words related to "rape" and "teens," and appeared alongside promoted tweets from corporate advertisers, the Reuters review found. In one example, a promoted tweet for shoe and accessories brand Cole Haan appeared next to a tweet in which a user said they were "trading teen/child" content.
"We're horrified," David Maddocks, brand president at Cole Haan, told Reuters after being notified that the company's ads appeared alongside such tweets. "Either Twitter is going to fix this, or we'll fix it by any means we can, which includes not buying Twitter ads."*** https://www.reuters.com/technology/exclusive-brands-blast-twitter-ads-next-child-pornography-accounts-2022-09-28/

Marine Biology Story of the Day #7
Whew, it’s been a little while.  I’ve been out in the field for the last week collecting samples for my current research project--I’m exhausted when we get home, so I haven’t been motivated to write a post. 
Today, we are going to talk about what it’s like to live on a working sailing vessel (Part 1).
So I’ve mentioned before that I was on a research trip that traveled from Hawaii to California doing research on open ocean ecosystems and marine plastics.  It was an undergrad program called Sea Semester.  If you want to learn more about the research we were doing on this trip, you can check out these posts here: https://teenyfish.tumblr.com/post/622213314459615232/marine-biology-story-of-the-day-4 and https://teenyfish.tumblr.com/post/622033107021873152/marine-biology-story-of-the-day
So the really interesting thing about this program is that they do all of their research from tall ships.  Like super modernized pirate tall ships. 
Tumblr media
And on top of doing all of the science, we had to sail this damn thing across thousands of miles of ocean.  Yes, we had first mates and a captain that knew what they were doing, but we were the crew. 
And we had our work cut out for us. 
We did a lot of prep “on shore” while we were taking some marine biology courses.  We also took a celestial navigation course, in which we learned to use landmarks and celestial bodies to navigate outside of using a GPS, which is what most modern ships use. 
Tumblr media
Above: me learning how to use a sextant on the moon. 
we also had to learn a lot of safety drills, including how to put a “gumby suit” on in only a minute in order to abandon ship--these are designed to retain body heat when submerged, similar to how a wet suit does. Another common drill we did onboard the ship was the man-overboard drill, where we would throw a soccer ball with a flag on it overboard and all 31 crew members on board would have to be pointing at the soccer ball so we would not loose sight of our man.  In anything less than idea conditions, we could loose sight of that soccer ball in like, 5 minutes.  It was important to be quick and efficient with these drills. 
Tumblr media
above: me goofing off in a gumby suit.  I’ts harder to get on than you think. 
Life on board the ship was structured with watches, similar to my NOAA shark trip, except there were 5 watches that you rotated through.  We had day watch from 7 am to noon, afternoon watch from noon till 7 pm, evening watch from 7 pm till 11 pm, mid watch from 11 pm to 3 am, and morning watch from 3 am to 7 am.  So my sleep schedule was SCREWED UP because we did not have set schedules AT ALL. 
We were a crew of 8, with one chief scientist, and one mate, and then the 6 of us young dumb kids. 
Tumblr media
For each watch, we either served under the mate as crew, or under the chief scientist as assistant scientists.  It would rotate every watch, so we could learn how to do it all.  As a crew member, we were expected to set sails, be at the helm, be at the bow to watch out for floating objects at night so we wouldn’t hit them, and clean the ship (aka swab the decks).  We used 100% nautical language.
Sails are usually set by two people, one hauling up on the halyard and the other letting out the slack.  But occasionally, we would have to set the mains’l (main sail) which is the largest sail on the ship, and it would take like everybody on board. 
Tumblr media
Here’s me with the mains’l, so you can get an idea of how big it is. 
So the cool thing about our ship is that we could set all the sails from the deck, so we didn’t have to climb into the crows nest/upper masts to set a sail.  That didn’t stop people from doing it--in fact, even I did it, and I’m pretty afraid of heights.  In order to do so, we had this harnesses that we are all wearing in the pictures--and you clip into the ladder as you go.  Considering sailors in the 1800 did nothing of the sort, I think that was a major upgrade. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
above: crew member out on the edge--i was too chicken for this.
below: a great shot my friend got of the ship from above. 
So actually being at the helm of a 134 ft vessel is not actually as scary as you think it is when you are out in the middle of the ocean with nothing to hit.  It was just a matter of keeping an eye on your heading on the compass, and making sure the ship stays within 5 degrees of your heading.  Your heading will be a degree on a circle, for example, 0 is North, 90 is East, 180 is South, and 270 is West.  The wheel (the helm) itself is sort of heavy, and it connects to a rudder below the boat, which on this one was HUGE, so you do need to put in some muscle when adjusting.  Turning this thing completely around was a challenge, because it involved setting sails, adjusting sails, and involved the entire crew to accomplish--I would get into that a little bit more but that’s a whole ‘nother paragraph so if you want to know the deets, let me know in the comments. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Above: a cutie on the helm.  
Below: the compass with it’s red glow at night. 
It was a ton of work, and we were exhausted everyday.  But, my favorite watch, and maybe my favorite thing about being on this ship, was mid-watch (11 pm - 3 am).  Was it in the middle of the night? Sure.  Do I have a chronic illness that makes this difficult?  Yes.  But it was the one time of day where everything was quiet, and you could just be on deck and enjoy the stars--and the stars were amazing, like you couldn’t even believe.  You could very clearly see the milky way like you do in professional space photos, and sometimes the water would light up too with bioluminescence, so you’d have stars above, and stars below. 
And, sometimes, if you got morning watch, you’d get a chance to see a sunrise and hang out with a pod of 300+ common dolphins.  
Tumblr media
as usual, I have so much more to tell you, but I’ll save it for part 2 next week when we talk about what it was like to be on the science crew! As always, PLEASE feel free to ask me any questions about our trip or our research or any of my other posts.

Robert Cummings (Bob Collins) was born in 1910 in Joplin, Missouri. His godfather was the aviation pioneer Wilbur Wright, so naturally he got his pilot’s license and studied aeronautical engineering. After the stock market crash of 1929, he gave flying up to study drama in New York City, making his Broadway debut in 1931. In 1934 he moved to Hollywood and started making films. During World War II he was a captain in the Air Force Reserves. His television career kicked off in 1952, winning an Emmy for his role in the series “My Hero.” Starting in 1955, Cummings starred on a successful NBC sitcom, "The Bob Cummings Show” (aka “Love That Bob”), in which he played Bob Collins (the same character name he uses in this episode of “Here's Lucy”), an ex–World War II pilot who became a successful photographer. The show ended in July 1959, just a few months prior to filming “The Ricardos Go To Japan” the penultimate episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour.” Cummings returned to “Here's Lucy” for an episode in season 5. Cummings was married five times and fathered seven children. He died in 1990 at the age of 80.
Bob Collins graduated from Carnegie Tech and is a field representative for a cosmetics company. He enjoys dancing.
Tumblr media
Mary Jane Croft (Mary Jane Lewis) played Betty Ramsey during season six of “I Love Lucy. ” She also played Cynthia Harcourt in “Lucy is Envious” (ILL S3;E23) and Evelyn Bigsby in “Return Home from Europe” (ILL S5;E26). She played Audrey Simmons on “The Lucy Show” but when Lucy Carmichael moved to California, she played Mary Jane Lewis, the actor’s married name and the same one she uses on all 31 of her episodes of “Here’s Lucy. Her final acting credit was playing Midge Bowser on “Lucy Calls the President” (1977). She died in 1999 at the age of 83.

Billy Sands (Mr. Larson, the Milkman) returns to the role of Lucy's Milkman from “Lucy's Lucky Day” (S4;E15). Sands began his professional acting career in 1946 when he appeared on Broadway with Spencer Tracy in Robert Sherwood’s Rugged Path, but he eventually became a television character actor who appeared regularly as Dino Papparelli on “The Phil Silvers Show” and as  ‘Tinker’ Bell on “McHale’s Navy.” He will make one more appearance on “Here’s Lucy” (but not as the milkman).
Tumblr media
Larry J. Blake (Fire Chief, left) first appeared as a Native American Medicine Man in “Lucy the Rain Goddess” (TLS S4;E15). He was an ex-vaudevillian making the sixth of his eight “Here’s Lucy” appearances.
Orwin C. Harvey (Fireman, center) was an actor and stuntman who played one of the singing and dancing teamsters in “Lucy Helps Ken Berry” (TLS S6;E21). This is one of his six appearances on “Here’s Lucy.”
Sid Gould (Fireman, right) made more than 45 appearances on “The Lucy Show,” and nearly as many on “Here’s Lucy.” Gould (born Sydney Greenfader) was Lucille Ball’s cousin by marriage to Gary Morton.
Tumblr media
The script for this episode was dated October 6, 1971.�� It was filmed on October 28, 1971. 
Tumblr media
The title may have been inspired by the Charlie Chaplin silent film “Tillie’s Punctured Romance” (1914), remade in 1928 with W.C. Fields. It may have also inspired “Fester’s Punctured Romance,” a 1964 episode of “The Addams Family.” 
Tumblr media
In his book I Had A Ball: My Friendship with Lucille Ball, Michael Z. Stern recounts when he attended the filming of this episode in 1972.
Tumblr media
The date this episode was originally aired, film director Walter Lang died at age 75.  He had directed Lucille Ball (who was uncredited) in two films in 1935: Carnival and Hooray for Love. In 1957 Lang was nominated for an Oscar for directing The King and I.
Tumblr media
As the episode opens, Mary Jane is sitting on the living room sofa reading the November 1968 issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine. In “Redecorating the Mertzes' Apartment” (ILL S3;E8), Lucy Ricardo says she got the idea to hold a painting party from reading Better Homes and Gardens. The magazine got plenty of airtime because the writers felt bad after making a ‘Better Homes and Garbage’ joke in “Men Are Messy” (ILL S1;E8).
Tumblr media
In the Carter living room, the large gold-framed mirror on the landing has temporarily been replaced by an ornate cuckoo clock in order to make the final gag pay off. If the clock looks familiar, it was formerly in a home of “The Munsters” (1964-66) at 1313 Mockingbird Lane. The raven has been replaced by a cardinal, but it is otherwise identical.  Both “Here’s Lucy” and “The Munsters” were filmed at Universal Studios. [Thanks to Lucy fan Bill Graff for spotting this!]  In 1957, the same clock was seen on “Those Whiting Girls” - a Desilu production.
Also, just for this episode, the French doors in the living room can only be opened by banging on the wall above the fireplace mantle.
Tumblr media
Lucille Ball’s ‘showgirl style’ entrance down the stairs gets a round of applause from the studio audience. Mary Jane admires her new outfit. Lucy and Bob (her new boyfriend) ‘met cute’ in the supermarket when she dropped her knockwurst and he dropped his sauerkraut. 
The studio audience is very enthusiastic, also bursting into spontaneous applause for Bob’s entrance, Mary Jane’s exit, and the end of scene 1. 
MILKMAN: “Cross my heart and hope to die. May my sweet cream curdle if I tell a lie.” 
Tumblr media
Mr. Larson the milkman reports that the Wilsons down the street are splitting up. Larson says his wife calls him her “homogenized Walter Winchell.” Walter Winchell (1897-1972) was a journalist and radio host who was the narrator of “The Untouchables.” His voice was heard (uncredited) in the 1949 Lucille Ball film Sorrowful Jones and “Lucy the Gun Moll” (TLS S4;E25). His name was in the lyrics of the Desi Arnaz song “We're Having A Baby” sung on “Lucy is Enceinte” (ILL S2;E10). Winchell died just two weeks after this episode first aired.  
Mr. Larson awkwardly used the ‘modern lingo’ with Kim:
Pad (apartment)
Swinger (wolf)
Splitsville (break up)
Kim calls Bob a “Cut-Rate Casanova”.  Giacomo Girolamo Casanova (1725-1798) was an Italian adventurer and memoirist who’s name became synonymous with a man who seduces multiple women. Coincidentally, in "The Gossip” (ILL S1;E24), the milkman was labeled a “cottage cheese Casanova”! 
Tumblr media
In order to convince Bob Collins that the Carters are crazy, Kim and Harry do the following:
Convince Lucy that Collins is partially deaf, reads lips and has a hearing aid in his cuff links.
Pretend that Lucy has been married six times by prominently placing her wedding gown in the hall closet.
Having Kim make inappropriate advances on Collins while sitting on his lap.
Spiking Collins' hors d'oeuvres with a concoction of Tabasco sauce, cayenne pepper, hot mustard and chili pepper.  
“Lucy is just a deaf alcoholic who's been married six times!”
Tumblr media
Even after they confess their deceit, things get even crazier when Mary Jane shows up dressed as a chicken, Lucy banging on the wall to open the doors sets off the phonograph and the cuckoo clock, and Lucy burns the roast causing the fire department to smash the front door glass.  
Tumblr media Tumblr media
A flustered Mary Jane makes it clear to Bob that she is unmarried by stressing that she is MISS Lewis. Miss Lewis was also the name of a single lady who lived at 623 East 68th Street, played by Bea Benadaret in “Lucy Plays Cupid” (ILL S1;E15).
Tumblr media
Lucy says that Bob Collins tangos better than Rudolph Valentino. The dance was responsible for the longest laugh in “I Love Lucy” history in “Lucy Does the Tango” (ILL S6;E20). Heartthrob actor of the silent era Rudolph Valentino was also mentioned in that episode. Valentino was one of Mrs. McGillicuddy's favorite screen stars and was mentioned in “The Hedda Hopper Story” (ILL S4;E20) and “The Homecoming” (ILL S5;E6).  
Tumblr media
This is the first time that Lucy has had a boyfriend since Tony Rivera (Cesar Romero) in “A Date for Lucy” (S1;E19). Lucille Ball had no plans for Lucy Carter (or Lucy Carmichael) to have a serious relationship.
Tumblr media
Robert Cummings played himself in a 1959 episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” set in Japan.  
Tumblr media
A cuckoo clock played an integral role in “The Kleptomaniac” (ILL S1;E27). Lucy hid the clock under her coat - but the ‘cuckoo’ nearly gave her away!  
Tumblr media
A milkman (Bobby Jellison) was the conveyor of "The Gossip” (ILL S1;E24) about the marriage of the Ricardo’s neighbors Grace and Bill Foster.
Tumblr media
Trying to make her mother out to be undesirable, Kim says that Lucy has always married men who’s last name begins with ‘C’ so she doesn’t have to change the monogram on her luggage!  Is this a reference to “The Lucy Show”’s widow, Mrs. Carmichael?  Other folks named Collins in the Lucy-verse include:
Kitty Collins - Lucille Ball’s character in the 1936 film Follow The Fleet
Sylvia Collins - an unseen character on “I Love Lucy”
Dr. Collins - Mr. Mooney’s eye doctor on “The Lucy Show”
Mr. Collins - Manager of Stacey’s Department Store on “The Lucy Show”
Eddie Collins - Viv’s boyfriend on “The Lucy Show”
Pat Collins - the ‘hip’ hypnotist on “The Lucy Show”
FAST FORWARD
Tumblr media
Lucy would finally become Lucy Collins in a 1975 special titled “Lucy Gets Lucky” co-starring Dean Martin and set in Las Vegas. 
Tumblr media
Character Consistency! Two episodes earlier Kim moved out of the house into a garage apartment nearby.  But in this episode she is apparently still living at home.
Tumblr media
Fur Blur!  When Lucy comes from the closet after retrieving her stole, the camera momentarily goes out of focus. 
Tumblr media
Props! On the bookshelves behind Lucy's head, a small ceramic vase has been tipped over by some books.  This was probably caused when the finale with Lucy banging on the wall and the picture frames falling was rehearsed before filming.  
Tumblr media
No Stove Is A Floating Island! In the kitchen, the counter top island has been awkwardly moved out of the way to make room for Lucy’s tango and give better sight lines of the refrigerator. This island also holds the cook top range, so it would be technically impossible for it to be un-grounded by electric wires or a gas hookup!  
Tumblr media
Cap Redact!  The first letter of the name of the milkman’s dairy (mostly illegible) is covered with white tape. This was likely done to avoid any legal action by a company with the same name. 
Let Yourself Out?  When Kim marches into the living room to have a heart-to-heart talk with her mother about Bob, she leaves the milkman alone in the kitchen!  
Tumblr media
Wardrobe!  Kim’s picnic table skirt does not have pockets, so there is a conspicuous pouch sewn to her waist in a slightly different pattern in order to hold the small bottle of spices she intends to use to spice up Bob’s hors d'oeuvres. 
Tumblr media
Plot Loops! Mr. Larson thinks Bob Collins is a wolf because girls are seen coming and going from his home and he orders five quarts of orange juice daily. He reasons some people mix orange juice with liquor for wild parties. At the end of the episode, the girls are explained by his being a cosmetics distributor but the orange juice surplus is never explained. He may not be a wolf, but he might be a lush!
Tumblr media
“Lucy’s Punctured Romance” rates 3 Paper Hearts out of 5
In this episode, the roles of mother and daughter are reversed, giving Lucie Arnaz a larger and more commanding role. This fits in with plans for her to launch a spin-off series after the end of season 4. Lots of sight gags in this episode. The living room runs amok in a very visual (but not very character-driven) finale. Mary Jane in a chicken suit.

Thomas Crean (Irish: Tomás Ó Cuirín; c. 16 February 1877 – 27 July 1938) was an Irish seaman and Antarctic explorer who was awarded the Albert Medal for Lifesaving (AM).
Crean was a member of three major expeditions to Antarctica during the Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration, including Robert Falcon Scott's 1911–1913 Terra Nova Expedition. This saw the race to reach the South Pole lost to Roald Amundsen and ended in the deaths of Scott and his party. During the expedition, Crean's 35-statute-mile (56 km) solo walk across the Ross Ice Shelf to save the life of Edward Evans led to him receiving the Albert Medal. (Source: Wikipedia)rs
