You've now provided information that we didn't have before.
Given what you've said there, my recommendations:
1) *Delete everything* and start again.
2) Structure the SQL so it is easier to read for anyone on the list
3) Save each SQL in a file.
4) If you still have problems, publish the entirety of the *original*
SQLs in the order you ran them.
5) If you haven't installed iACS, install it and use it instead of STRSQL.
6) Try making your posts easier to read--maybe it's my old eyes but I
find them hard to comprehend. If English isn't your first language I'm
sorry, but you've got to help us a bit. Perhaps write them in an editor
and review them a bit before you post them.
7) You do know that in QRY/400 you can define new fields?
In "Define result fields" you can, say, define "theDate" as "field1 *
1000000 + field2*10000 + field3*100 + field4" and then use "theDate" in
"Select and sequence fields". "

As Mono County goes, so too does Inyo it seems.
Inyo County saw a spike of 28 new Covid cases over a three day period between August 1 and August 3, raising the overall county caseload to 86 individuals. Three of those new cases resulted in hospitalizations, two of which are, as of Thursday morning, considered in critical condition.
*Inyo’s death toll was raised to three by 5 p.m. Thursday from one.
More dire is the fact that all but one of these new cases is tied to a single location, the Bishop Care Center, per a press release from Inyo County.
The Care Center has implemented severe infection control measures while the California Department of Public Health reviews the facility’s procedures to ensure the safety of staff and residents.
Mono County Health Officer Tom Boo reported to the Mono Board of Supervisors on Tuesday that he’d heard from James Richardson, Inyo County Public Health Officer, that a party held in Mono ten days prior was considered the “index” of the Bishop outbreak. Boo reported at least one positive tied to the party so far, noting that numerous staff from the Bishop Care Center were in attendance.
Boo expressed a desire to further investigate the party, noting that “it’s totally not prudent to be having parties in the pandemic context.”
The Sheet spoke with Debbie McCormick, whose nephew, Michael Heffron, has been a resident at the facility for over twenty years. McCormick explained that Heffron’s mother, her sister Linda Franklin, had received a call from someone at the Care Center on Saturday night who told her that there had been a confirmed case at the Center.
McCormick told The Sheet that families were having difficulty getting in touch with the Care Center to verify the health of family members within the facility, adding that families haven’t been contacted en masse about the outbreak save for a conference call.
“I don’t believe, given what I know now,” McCormick said, “that they had a plan in place for this.”
The Sheet also spoke with Franklin, who said that the last contact she’d had with her son was Wednesday night, when he called her to say that he was being moved out of his room and that he didn’t know why. The panicked call from Heffron was how Franklin found out that her son, and his roommate, had tested positive for Covid-19.
Franklin said that on the conference call, held earlier this week, the Care Center representative told the families on the line that there were 19 positive tests among residents. The addition of Heffron and his roommate push that number to at least 21, with an additional seven staff members testing positive.
“I don’t blame the Care Center,” Franklin clarified, “They were doing a fantastic job keeping it out of there.” The Center has been closed to visitors since March, with only two opportunities for drive-by visitation on Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
Franklin said that she’d been in touch with a health inspector from San Bernardino who was coming up on Thursday to inspect the facility.
“The other people don’t stand a chance [against Covid]”, Franklin told The Sheet, “and I don’t know how much of a chance Mike stands.”
Both sisters had the summation of the situation they’ve experienced so far: “It’s a nightmare”.
Boo issued an updated health order on August 1 that outlaws gatherings of people from different households, regardless of size or location, with exceptions for religious and cultural services as well as political protests.
With the recent outbreak, Inyo County appears on its way to a spot on the State Covid monitoring list, joining the 36 other counties which have seen increased cases and subsequent walkbacks on businesses reopening.
Except: the state is experiencing data issues with its reporting system. Delays in test results and potential duplicate tests have significantly impacted reporting and it is unlikely that Inyo County will be placed on the state watchlist until those issues are resolved.
Mono County continues to experience above average rates of Covid-19, with the preliminary positivity hovering around 10% for all tests. The county has transitioned to using the University of California, San Francisco’s lab for test results and in spite of a glitch over the weekend that delayed results, Boo reported faster testing turnaround times than the county had previously experienced.
For the first time, Mammoth Hospital is at yellow status, an indication that the healthcare system is feeling the effects of the recent spike. Boo reported the change in status on Tuesday, explaining that recent Covid admits and limited ICU capacity combined with additional “normal” admits are making space a bit tight at the hospital. Additionally, the hospitals in Reno that Mammoth typically sends patients to are experiencing a similar surge and cannot accept many more patients at this time.
Boo also expressed doubt about the upcoming school year; parents with children ages pre-K through 6th grade can sign a waiver for their children to attend school in person but positivity rates remain above the threshold for in-person classes.
Testing for restaurant employees remains a priority, even as the majority of restaurants report zero positive cases among their staff, due to the high frequency of interaction with unmasked guests. Boo also reported that the majority of Covid-19 cases in Mono County are concentrated within the Hispanic/Latinx community, an issue that county and Town of Mammoth Lakes officials have consistently struggled to address.
The primary concern, as evidenced by extensive written and in-person public comment, is visitors. As Boo told the supervisors, “It’s a fact of life that pandemics are driven by human travel”, adding, “I don’t know why people insist on vacationing during a pandemic.”
Supervisor Jennifer Kreitz cautioned against taking a harsh stance against tourists. “Telling people to stay home might be the most dangerous thing to do,” she said, “People are looking for outdoor recreation because it’s deemed safe.”
“We have to be careful that we’re not driving people into their homes where they may not be safe [from exposure to working family members],” she added.
In an August 1 health order that outlawed social gatherings, Boo wrote “Throughout California we believe that informal gatherings of friends and relatives who don’t live in the same household are helping to drive this epidemic. Distancing is the single most important thing that we all can do to prevent the spread of infections.”
County residents reported increases incidences of graffiti, littering, and general lack of awareness from guests, many of whom may experiencing the region for the first time.
To that effect, Mammoth Lakes Tourism has caught increased flak from locals upset about the bad behavior, so much so that they have pulled all outward paid messaging about responsible tourism and significantly lowered their presence outside of the area.
As for enforcement, Inyo National Forest district ranger Gordon Martin expressed frustration about the current situation, noting that a lack of staff and directives to work remotely severely limit the Forest Service’s enforcement capacity.
“We’re having trouble approaching people bc they’re not wearing masks,” Martin said, “We get out there and people approach us and it becomes a challenge when they’re not masked up.”

Soy (Glycine max)
Soy is a bushy annual plant that is cultivated widely for many uses. A member of the pea family, it has been a part of Asian diets for thousands of years. It is beginning to gain popularity in other cuisines as well as for other uses.
Key Medicinal Uses
Internally Soy is used in Chinese medicine to treat fever, insomnia, headache, chest discomfort from measles or colds and restlessness. Studies are showing that this herb may also be useful in helping to deal with menopause and post-menopause symptoms, hypertension, aging, benign prostatic hyperplasia and cancer. An ingredient found in the herb, lecithin, can be used to lower cholesterol, and the phospholipids can help liver disease and hepatitis.
Externally Soy oil is beneficial to the skin and can help with skin circulation and to revitalize the upper layers. The oil helps disorders of the connective tissue and can increase the production of collagen. It is good for aged skin. It may be added to sunscreens.
Other Uses Soy is a staple in the Asian diet. More people are eating it today then ever before. The beans can be cooked as a vegetable or snack, or added to soups, casseroles or stews. They can be roasted to make a coffee-like beverage. Tofu is made from the herb, sprouts can be added to salads, and it is also used to make soy sauce, miso paste, milk and many other foods. The oil can be used in massage as a carrier oil for essential oils. Fibers can also be manufactured from the leftovers of the tofu process to be used for yarns to make textiles.
Seeds, oil The seeds and oil are used medicinally.
Soy is considered safe for most people as a food or when taken for a short time as a supplement. Excessive use of phospholipids may cause diarrhea or loose stools, nausea, bloating or constipation. If you are allergic to the herb, watch for signs of breathing problems or rashes. Studies show that long time use of isoflavone supplements may increase the risk of endometrial hyperplasia.
Soy affects estrogen levels, but studies are still being done to determine the risks. If you are at risk of breast cancer or have breast cancer, use with extreme caution. This herb may interact with prescription medication, so tell your care provider if you take supplements.
Preparation and Dosage
Soy is available in dietary supplements in the form of capsules and tablets. It is also available as an oil and as foodstuffs like tofu, sauce, milk, miso and other foods. For dosages, follow the instructions on the supplement labels.

How Do You Help A Cat That's In Heat
How Do You Help A Cat That's In Heat - Cat Meme Stock Pictures and Photos
Signs that your cat is in heat include:
How do you help a cat that's in heat. Offer your kitten or cat plenty of attention and physical contact when she is in heat. A cat will usually go into heat in the spring and autumn and a heat can last from a few days all the way up to a few weeks. If possible, take a look at your cat's teeth and gums.
This i why you should be sure to. You can provide her something warm to sit on which can be a wet towel or heat pad. Make use of herbal remedies.
Spaying involves removing your cat's ovaries and uterus to prevent future estrus and pregnancy. Calm your cat by giving her additional attention while she is in her heat cycle. Spend quality time with her.
Also, it's wise to avoid ammonia cleaners; This is another cat in heat remedy. Make sure your kitty is comfortable by doing a few precautionary things around the house:
Catnip and soothing treats are all effective ways to help your cat relax. If you don’t have ac, then create a retreat for the cats, such as leaving the bathroom or basement door open so. Give your cat extra attention.
Allow her to sit in your lap. You can distinguish this behavior from pure restlessness (a sign she may be in pain and need to see the vet) by the way she lifts her tail or even occasionally assumes the mating position. The best time to do get her spayed is before she goes into heat for the first time.

Chapman and Bailey R&F’s oil sticks were dubbed “Pigment Sticks.” They were intended to be as close to oil paint as possible; to be super-soft and creamy so that with little effort they could be manipulated like a lush oil paint. An oil painter’s dream come true but it’s not easy getting there. The formulations were very tricky. Each colour required a difficult balance of oils, waxes, and pigment. Opaque colours had to be bright and solid, and the top tones and undertones of translucent colours had to have just the right interplay in a spontaneous stroke.
Pigment Sticks’ soft consistency makes them problematic to mold. R&F’s first molds were made of brass plumbing pipe, fitted on top and bottom with baking pans and held together with nuts and bolts. Pouring the paint so that the sticks didn’t crack, breaking the sticks out so they didn’t crush, taking the molds apart and cleaning them made the workday a tedious and frustrating ordeal. Alternative pipe designs were easier, but still difficult to use. The company finally could afford to replace these plumbing contraptions with split molds, cast and machined for them by a manufacturer of molds for lipstick.
Chapman and Bailey R&F Pigment Sticks are handmade in small batches, carefully milled and molded. Chapman and Bailey R&F Pigment Sticks use basic traditional materials: natural wax, linseed oil, and pigment, and we use them with absolute purity. Chapman and Bailey R&F Pigment Sticks are the only brand of oil sticks that employ only natural waxes (beeswax & plant wax). This allows for a minimum amount of wax. This results in softer consistency and greater paint film strength.
R&F Pigment Sticks are oil paint manufactured with enough wax for the paint to be molded into stick form. They allow the painter to draw or paint directly onto a surface without brushes, palettes, paint tubes or solvents. R&F Pigment Sticks have none of the additives, extenders, substitutes, or facilitators that are commonly used in industrial production.
While the use of these adulterations can save a lot of work and reduce the cost of materials, they lower the quality of the paint. To do without them it is necessary to create a very precise balance of the ingredients. This balance is what makes our Pigment Stick so luscious and luminous. Consequently our formulas are complex and our manufacturing is labor intensive.

« BackNews: More Food Waste Going To AD In England
More Food Waste Going To AD In England
The amount of food being sent for anaerobic digestion (AD) in England has increased in that past year.
This is according to the latest figures from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), with Materials Recycling World revealing that 386,000 tonnes of food was sent to AD in England last year, an increase of 8.7 per cent over the previous 12 months.
However, despite improvement in this area, England is now at the bottom of the home nation recycling league, with Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland all doing a better job of recycling more of their waste streams.
England’s overall recycling rate is 45.2 per cent, compared to Scotland with 45.6 per cent, Northern Ireland with 48.1 per cent and Wales with 62.7 per cent.
The BBC recently reported that councils could be forced to provide separate food waste recycling in England in the future, with just 35 per cent of households currently using food waste recycling.
This is in comparison to 56 per cent of homes in Scotland and 100 per cent of homes in Wales.
Any food waste that goes into landfill creates methane, which the news provider notes is a “powerful greenhouse gas”.
However, when food waste is collected separately, it can be sent to an AD plant, where it is broken down into carbon dioxide, methane and sludge. The gas can be used to generate energy or power a vehicle, while the sludge is used as a fertiliser for soil.
If you need high-quality pressure relief valves for an AD plant you’re constructing, contact us today to find out more about our products.


The side loader garbage truck that we sell here at Rdk.com is an affordable high-quality truck that can be purchased in one of a number of well-known brands, including CCC and Freightliner. Most of the components for this side loader are manufactured with steel plate, which is reinforced and supported with steel channels. Different thicknesses of the steel plate are used in different parts of the truck, depending on the anticipated level of stress.
The Manual Side Loader Design
Added components to such a truck include the vehicle’s cab and chassis, warning labels, electric wiring, lighting, and hydraulic cylinders and hoses. While the front loader garbage truck is used to pick up dumpsters at commercial sites, the side loader garbage truck, just like its counterpart the back loader design, is made to manually pick up trash bags along neighborhood streets. The waste is thrown into a hopper that further condenses and compacts the waste.
The Dempster Dumpster
Here at Rdk.com, our side loader garbage truck designs are certainly different in looks than the garbage trucks that were initially used in the early 20th century. In 1935, George Roby Dempster invented the Dempster Dumpster with a front loader design. From that design, manufacturers went on to manufacture and feature back loaders and side loaders in their garbage truck line-ups.
The Advantages Associated With the Automatic Side Loader Design
Today, some municipalities are replacing back loader garbage trucks with side loader garbage truck styles. According to a 2014 news report, officials in Greenburgh, New York replaced their back loaders with automated side loader garbage trucks. Because the truck requires fewer people to pick up and haul garbage, injuries are reduced. Therefore, using this kind of side loader garbage truck saves money without the need to cut garbage collection in communities.
A Way to Save Money and Reduce Liability
Typically, three people are needed to work on back loader trucks – a driver and two trash collectors. According to the news report, Paul Feiner, a Greenburgh Superviser, said that “. . . one person can drive the [side loader] and operate the mechanical arm.” He added that “[the] town will save money and [garbage collection] . . . will be faster [as well]. . . .”
This kind of auto-load system also requires that residents who have trash pick-up receive special containers. The news report indicated that 95-gallon containers are used as well as 65-gallon cans for people who are older or who have disabilities. The report stated that an automatic side loader is able to load cans that are approximately quadruple the size of a regular garbage can.
We Applaud Greenburgh for Meeting Its Cost-cutting Objective
We, here at website , applaud Greenburgh on its new acquisitions. We can provide municipalities with cost savings of this kind as well.

INSA Turbo, the market leader for tyre retreading in Spain, belonging to the Soledad Group, and KRAIBURG Austria have announced that they have signed a collaboration agreement regarding the utilisation of KRAIBURG retreading materials in their plant in Aspe (Alicante).
INSA Turbo to Manufacture RECOM Retreads in Spain
The alliance includes a roadmap, defining the gradual implementation of KRAIBURG technology in both hot and precure retreading processes for truck tyres. These new product lines will coexist with Industrias del Neumático's existing lines and are aimed to enrich the Alicante plant's portfolio.
The tyres retreaded with KRAIBURG materials will be available in Grupo Soledad's widely spread network of tyre centres and workshops for vehicle maintenance and repair operations. The Austrian company's technicians are already working on the optimisation of the plant's production processes, with a view to 2022, when INSA Turbo is expected to become a KRAIBURG-homologated plant for the manufacturing of its RECOM retreaded tyres for the Spanish market.
Joaquín Pérez, director of the Group's industrial division, explained that, with this new cooperation agreement, "the Spanish market will be able to enjoy the full range of KRAIBURG products throughout the country, and our centres will have a wider range of high-quality products to offer our customers greater benefits".
Stefan Mayrhofer, CEO of KRAIBURG Austria underlined that "the new cooperation is of high importance as it allows both our companies to work on joint strategies for the development and distribution of our products and services. For us it opens a broad access to the Spanish market which only a strong partner can provide you”.
INSA Turbo produces more than 50.000 retreaded tyres per year, which adapt to all types of vehicles, with the maximum guarantee and quality, contributing to the recycling and material recovery objectives required by European tyre directives. These tyres are distributed through Grupo Soledad’s network of nearly 1,000 partly owned and franchised outlets in Spain and Portugal.

Conversations with Adult Kids
As we struggle through our review of my adult kids’ childhood, it’s hard to look at it as a reflection of the cultural times. We want to compare my mothering to how mothering is done today. Of course, it just won’t fit in.
To compound the problem inherent in our current review, is the number of children and how each child affected each other and how each child’s life reflects a different developmental stage of me as mom.
My kids’ lives live in my chest. I can feel the pull right in the middle of my breast. It is also where I feel the pain and the anger. At times, it had been suffocating.
I had my first child at age 15. Much like the comedian says of his 15 year old mother, “she and I grew up together”. As a mother, I couldn’t say “back in the day…” because he was there with me back in the day.
My first born was divine. He was perfect, he was absolutely out of this world. I loved watching him and talking to him. From the first day that he was born, I spoke to him and his baby brother, as if they were adults.
We had full conversations when they were two and three years old. I recall sitting in a McDonalds when a stranger sitting next to us, leaned over and said, “you three are amazing, keep it up”.
We kept up the conversations, but the amazing got lost somewhere. I lived my whole life around what the boys were doing, even after the girls came. The boys played high school football, I washed pounds and pounds of white socks and underwear. We took our weary selves to the football games on chilly November nights to watch them play. The girls went running through the stands, meeting friends and laughing as they played.
The boys are so much older than the girls, that by the time the girls became tweens and teenagers, the boys were gone: Army, college and Army.
Finally, I left their father (filing for a divorce); I thought I was doing the right thing for my kids. It turns out that living alone with kids and having no back up plan is much more difficult than I could have possibly imagined. I had the job, I simply had no other resources, no family, no rainy-day fund, no home and no help. Panic attacks and anxiety were recurring themes in my life.
I rented houses for us and ended up with bully landlords. They would demand access to my home on Saturday mornings when I was into the deepest recesses of my exhaustion. Then they would sneer at me. I was wrong. I was wrong as a renter, as a human, I was wrong as a mother.
My life was a nightmare for all of those years. I hardly slept. It was a constant challenge to manage my daughters. All our spare money went to those challenges: Attorney’s fees, long distance phone calls to boyfriends, special testing, therapy sessions.
Whatever life was doing to me, double it, for what it was doing to my teenage daughters. Life was harsh for the three of us. We simply struggled our way into their twenties.
Incredibly, I was doing the best that I could. Every.single.day.of.every.single.week. I was doing everything I could to be a good parent. It wasn’t enough. I made mistakes. I trusted the wrong people. I ran out of energy and I was always out of money.
The fascination I have with all of them, never left me. I participated in many of their adult decisions. I moved with them, I spent weekends with them, I kept pace with the fast moving people they are.
And so, here we are. They have children, and for the most part, are doing a better job than I did. Now, we are having these difficult conversations about their childhoods.
As angry as they can get with me for failing them when they were young; I can’t say that I did a bad job.
I tried as hard as I could. We survived a world that was made up of bloodsuckers who thrived on taking from the weak and the vulnerable. The weak and the vulnerable included me and it included us.
However, the real reason that I believe I did a good job is because, these adults that are mine, are amazing people. Each and every one of my adult children are caring and loving people. They are VERY involved with their own offspring, there is no such thing as child neglect in their families. They struggle, they work hard, they give themselves over to what they do. What hard workers they are!
And yes, I continue in my fascination. I love them, I adore them. That will never change.

I’ll be checking here often during the show to post notes. If there is anything you want me to know, post it here (keep it clean) and share with other fans of the folk music.
Right now the opening song sets the tone for the show…. I’m thinking about a song by Gram Parsons called “The New Soft Show.” Why? Well I try to keep the shows in the morning hours a bit mellow so no one is awaken by loud banging noise etc. Probably follow that with a tune from Relativity (a Celtic group) called “When Barney Flew Over the Hills.” and “from Norah Rendell & Brian Miller the tune, “Qui me Passera le Bois.”
OK, on to the show….

In the last 90 days, 315 listings have been posted online, so you'll want to check back regularly for new listings. About 1% of the available leases in the Southwest San Francisco are subleases, so you will probably have to focus your search on direct office leases. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet posted, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around 1,650 sqft. Most properties in this region are approximately 2 stories. Most buildings in this area were built in 1933 and are Class B.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Finance and insurance are the dominant industries in this region. Most of the residents of Southwest San Francisco work from home. Commuting close to 30 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

Our guest blogger is Julie Pramis, who is a graduate student in Library and Information Science (LIS) at the Catholic University of America.
Catholics care about climate change (try saying that five times fast). Here in the archives we have a collection of papers from the Catholic Climate Covenant (CCC), a non-profit organization based in Washington, D.C. focused on caring for the Earth. Founded in 2006, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops helped form the non-profit in order to address climate change through Catholic social teaching:
Caring for creation and caring for the poor have been a part of the Catholic story since the beginning, but in recent years St. John Paul II, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, and especially Pope Francis have added a sense of urgency to their call for Catholics to act on climate change. (Our Story, Catholic Climate Covenant)
CCC has funded grants for climate change awareness campaigns across the country, held conferences, and published reports on the reality of climate change.
Among their missions, perhaps at the forefront is the St. Francis Pledge. Anyone can take the St. Francis Pledge, from National Catholic Organizations to Universities to individuals. The pledge comes with a handy pdf with recommendations on how to reduce your carbon footprint.
In addition to their own business papers – from 2006 to 2016 – CCC collected magazines and newspapers that covered the cross-section of Catholics and environmentalism. Even several secular magazines were saved, among them Time magazine and two issues of Sports Illustrated (it’s about climate change – we swear!).

Imagine you purchased a box of used books and found buried within a tattered satchel dating from the First World War. What would you do with it? This scenario played in the summer of 2016, when a thrift store benefiting an Alabama-based women’s shelter contacted the CUA Archives. Hidden within a box of cookbooks – donated by an unknown person – was an old satchel containing the personal diary, correspondence, pamphlets, medals, and photos belonging to one Margaret Millar. A figure long since known to the Archives, but whose personal effects were thought lost. The shelter generously donated the satchel and its contents!
“Mother Millar,” or Margaret Richards Millar, was the head of the “Women Workers” sent to France by the newly-formed National Catholic War Council (NCWC) as part of the Committee on Special War Activities. Roughly a century ago, as the United States increased its role in the First World War, the NCWC – predecessor to today’s USCCB – organized social clubs for the American Expeditionary Force. Placed throughout Western Europe, these clubs were operated by female staff, and necessitated a strong-willed and well-connected person to get the project off the ground in war-ravaged Europe. Millar was just that person.
Born in 1858 in Vermont to Jonas DeForest Richards and Harriet Bartlett Jarvis, Millar was the second of three children and only daughter. Her family was of a distinguished New England line, which included a maternal grandfather, William Jarvis, who served as Thomas Jefferson’s and James Madison’s envoy to Spain and Portugal. Her father, a New England Congregationalist pastor, decided late in life to move the family to the American South. Immediately following the end of the Civil War in 1865, the family relocated to Alabama, having purchased a cotton plantation in Wilcox County. Both Millar’s father and older brother who later served as Wyoming state governor, DeForest Richards, became involved in county and state politics, with the former serving in the State Legislature (1867-1872) and as interim president of the University of Alabama (1869-1870) and the latter as county sheriff and treasurer.
Millar was educated at home and ultimately obtained a degree from the Bradford Academy in Massachusetts in 1880. By that point, her family had relocated to the American West, settling in the Nebraska panhandle and the Wyoming Territory. Marrying Stocks Millar, a Scottish immigrant educated at the University of St. Andrews, she spent her married life on the Wyoming plains, where she developed a reputation as a generous hostess for army personnel stationed in the Territory. At this time, her younger brother, Bartlett Richards, became a prominent cattle baron near Chadron, Nebraska, ultimately running afoul of federal land law and being imprisoned under Theodore Roosevelt.
When her husband passed away in 1890, she spent the next several years in France and Germany with their three children. In 1896, she converted to Catholicism alongside her son, future Jesuit Morehouse F. X. Millar (later a collaborator with CUA professor John A. Ryan). In 1918, as a representative of the American Bureau of Education, she was sent to France to recruit French women to attend college in the United States. Remembered for her charity towards the military in Wyoming and having already navigated war-torn France, Millar was a natural choice to lead the NCWC’s efforts in establishing service member clubs.
In the summer of 1918, she was sent back to France as a representative of the Committee on Special War Activities of the NCWC, in order to organize and supervise service clubs for American soldiers. She would open the Etoile Service Club in Paris that same year. In May 1919, she also was sent by the NCWC as the only American Catholic delegate to the International Congress of Women in Switzerland, serving alongside Jane Addams. Held concurrently with the Versailles Peace Conference, Millar felt challenged but firm in her beliefs as she wrote of an openness to discussion among the various parties assembled.
In October 1919, Millar was unexpectedly recalled to the United States by Rev. John Burke, head of the NCWC. This recall, following complaints by some of the women she supervised, led to protests by the majority of the service club staff and members of the American forces in France. As she prepared to depart the continent, Millar was inundated with letters and petitions from fighting to get her reinstated. In one such letter, a coworker writes:
The boys all love you as they do their own mother and they realize what your going will mean to them. My only desire to remain at the Club now, to work, for our boys is because it was your most beloved treasure of happiness for others and being the one thing that remains with us to express in unspoken language the good wrought for others by your love and kindness.
While Millar appreciated the support, she did not return to Paris, but remained in Texas the following year, helping to organize the first conference of the National Council of Catholic Women (NCCW), held in 1920. An active member of the NCCW and NCWC for the remaining years of her life, Millar passed away in 1947.
Her papers are available for research. The online finding aid may be found here, and a digital collection may be found here.
The decisive entry of the United States of America into the calamitous First World War on April 6, 1917 joining Britain and France against Imperial Germany was a momentous event in the history of the American Catholic Church. Making up about seventeen percent of the American population, Catholic support of the war effort was a watershed event to prove their patriotism. While many German and Irish Americans were not keen to assist the British, most Catholics believed it was a just war against an enemy whose submarines indiscriminately killed civilian passengers and oppressed the largely Catholic population of occupied Belgium. The fledgling Catholic University of America (CUA), established in 1887, was one of the first American Catholic institutions to declare itself when its rector, Bishop Thomas J. Shahan, wrote to President Woodrow Wilson on March 28, before the declaration of war, offering “such services as the Government of the United States may desire.” The President replied two days later expressing thanks “for your pledge of cooperation and support.”¹ Though partially addressed in a previous blog post, we now take a more in depth look at CUA’s wartime activities.
After the declaration of war, lay students military drilling on campus, forming three companies led by university instructors with prior military experience. A new gymnasium, ‘The Drill Hall,’ served both recreational and military needs. Many students also joined both reserve and active duty units. Soon, the U.S. War Department (a precursor to the Defense Department) inaugurated the Student Army Training Corps (SATC), an incarnation of today’s Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC). The SATC used over 100 college campuses as training facilities for new military personnel, including nearly 400 inducted from CUA, while the University’s Rev. Dr. Peter Guilday served as one of the SATC Regional Vice-Directors. CUA contributed to the state in other ways, such as vigorously promoting Liberty Loan subscriptions to help fund the war effort and permitting the United States Navy to use Albert and Gibbons Halls as a paymaster training school, graduating nearly 600. More ominously, the United States Army used the Maloney Hall laboratory for important chemical research, developing Lewisite Gas, which thankfully went into production too late for use in the war.
CUA also provided valuable service to the church as the venue for the founding of the National Catholic War Council, forerunner to today’s United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Under the motto of ‘For God and Country’ and ably headed by CUA alumnus and Paulist priest, John Burke, a New York City native and Catholic newspaper editor, the NCWC represented Catholic interests ranging from charity to war before federal and state governments as well as secular and other religious organizations. By war’s end, some 800 CUA alumni and students had served in the military, with fifteen making the ultimate sacrifice, including Edward L. Killion, editor of the Cardinal Yearbook’s first issue in 1916. Additionally, more than 50 priest alumni had served as chaplains, probably the most famous being Francis P. Duffy of the famous ‘Fighting Sixty-ninth.’ The University’s postwar efforts included a rehabilitation school for wounded soldiers, administration of the Knights of Columbus Scholarships for ex-service men, and a 1922 campus memorial to honor CUA’s fallen.²

John Robson, Western Standard, February 22, 2024
Canada’s military is in a heap of trouble. Far too few people, except at DND headquarters, with far too little equipment that’s far too old and morale in freefall.
It might seem an odd time for the brass to go full metal woke, including an infamous issue of Canadian Military Journal, “the official professional publication of the Canadian Armed Forces and the Department of National Defence.” But those who wonder at the timing need to ponder the profound truth that people believe their beliefs.
A critical lesson of history is, as a 1948 book by Richard Weaver put it, Ideas Have Consequences. Many hold the contrary cynical view that people shape their ostensible beliefs to benefit their private interests, making them prone to conspiracy theories about what anyone who claims to disagree with them is really up to.
Thus, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a puppet of sinister WEF forces plotting to destroy Canada, or part of those sinister forces, rather than precisely the trendy progressive he sounds and acts like — and is. (And let me add here that the problem isn’t that he’s “ideological.” Everyone with a coherent worldview is ideological. The problem is he has the wrong ideology.)
Others have noticed the power of ideas, most famously, John Maynard Keynes. I agree with almost nothing the late Lord Keynes wrote except this: “soon or late, it is ideas, not vested interests, which are dangerous for good and evil.”
And right now, our political and chattering classes are suffused with the ideas of wokeness, the cluster of beliefs that your group identity determines your thinking, that victims are inherently virtuous and that resentment is a positive force in human affairs. But there’s no conspiracy: The self-touting, all-knowing classes do not conceal their plan to impose wokeness on us but regularly announce it.
I don’t deny the human capacity for greed and cynicism. Indeed, we wage a constant and often futile struggle to rise above them. But as David Hume put it, “Though men be much governed by interest, yet even interest itself, and all human affairs, are entirely governed by opinion.” In other words, ideas matter.
Back to the Canadian Military Journal which in its last issue offered up the usual woke litany of woe, none of which had to do with equipping a modern military to fight wars.
Instead, the magazine was full of articles suffused with the tone of the opening CMJ editorial claim that: “Sexual misconduct is widespread, as are discrimination and hostility towards women, two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, inclusive (sexual minorities), Indigenous, Black and People of Colour military members.”
That obsession with collective identities is why, in the National Post, Tristin Hopper complained about that CMJ issue, “There’s not a single reference to the recruiting crisis, which has left vacancies of up to 40 per cent in some departments.” That crisis is severe and, one might think, front-burner urgent.
Annual recruiting fell by 35% last year alone and far more people are leaving the Forces than joining. Even the top brass, long supine about political mismanagement, are breaking silence, including its commander saying our navy’s in “critical condition” which “could mean we fail to meet our force posture and readiness commitments in 2024 and beyond.”
So was this a bad time for CMJ to salvo what Hopper called “a series of 13 essays all devoted to what an introduction describes as a ‘feminist intersectional trauma-informed approach to reimagine and transform CAF culture’ ”? Not at all. At least not if you think patriarchy ruins everything. Which they do.
CMJ’s editors and authors might admit the old way worked pretty well in two world wars. But only in that bigoted, patriarchal men fought successfully for patriarchal bigotry, which they don’t think you even could do today, nor should you want to.
Thus, Hopper flags one essay starting, “Canada’s military faces a complex, multi-layered problem with its culture”, howls about “patriarchy, colonialism, white supremacy, heteronormativity, ableism and classism” then prescribes “an anti-oppression framework that builds on a set of critical theories including feminist, decolonial, critical race, queer, critical disability and critical political economy theories”.
Remember, it’s the same approach using the same boilerplate rhetoric that ‘leaders’ in universities, business, government, the voluntary sector use to express such radically faulty ideas including that wealth comes from privilege, identities explain outcomes, ‘systemic’ racism is rife and what some call “so-called Canada” is neither salvageable nor worth salvaging. And if the authors of those Journal articles meant every word, why can’t the prime minister? There’s no plot. There’s a widespread belief.
Thus our problem is not that the prime minister aims to subject Canadians to foreign conquest, or is indifferent to our security. Rather he, and those around him, are genuinely convinced that in the long run only a truly ‘woke’ society can ever be secure. They actually believe social justice warriors will fight better than traditional warriors. And in case they don’t, everyone will love us so it won’t matter.
Profoundly bad ideas have profoundly bad consequences. Remember that before the Second World War people went around calling Hitler a statesman and Churchill a madman, or chanting “scholarships not battleships.”
When people say something you don’t agree with, and do something you don’t agree with, it’s because they think something you don’t agree with. And if they’re wrong, it has consequences. As in Canada’s current, crumbling “woke” military.

MeMedical treatment techniques have improved immensely in the recent times. In this progress, advanced technology has played a key role. In a recent research, scientists have discovered new material, which can transform the medical procedures.
Replacing Human Tissue by Rubber-Like Material in Medical Surgeries
Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, stated that they have developed a unique material. The specialty of this new material is its rubber-like structure with exceptional properties. Hence, researchers stated that the material could help in medical procedures. Besides, it holds ability to work as a replacement to human tissues in surgeries. Moreover, they added that it would make a huge difference in the lives of many people. The research is open for access in journal ACS Nano.
Meanwhile, the initial motive of this research was to create a bone-like, hard material. However, the outcomes of this research were startling. The novel material is created using components that are compatible to the human body. In addition, its foundation is similar to plexiglass, a material employed in numerous medical technology applications. Moreover, scientists used a process called nanostructuring to redesign the makeup of this material. It helped them to create a material with exceptional properties.
Anand Kumar Rajasekharan is one of the study participants. He stated, “We were really amazed that the material is extremely flexible, soft, and very elastic. We concluded that it couldn’t be used as a bone replacement material. However, the unexpected and novel properties made this discovery exciting.”
According to the outcomes of this research, the novel rubber-like material is suitable for numerous applications requiring uncommon properties. Some qualities required for medical use are easy processability, high elasticity, and suitability. Martin Andersson, lead researcher of this study stated, “The foremost application we are exploring now is urinary catheters. Change in use in way of this material can stop bacterial growth on the surface. This highlights its suitability for medical uses.”


The upcoming release of Ubisoft Massive’s Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora has the gaming community excited. The latest trailer offers a thrilling sneak peek into the future. The Season Pass announcement hints at an extensive journey beyond the initial adventure. Players can expect new missions and captivating landscapes on the horizon.
The upcoming game is scheduled to be released on December 7th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC, and it’s already generating a lot of buzz. During a recent reveal, Ubisoft Massive’s associate creative director, Andrada Greciuc, unveiled the Season Pass content, which promises to add even more depth to the already immersive world of Pandora.
Kicking off the excitement is Familiar Echoes, a bonus quest available right at launch. This initial offering sets the stage for the wonders and challenges in Pandora’s mystical realms.
In the summer of 2024, the first story pack called “The Sky Breaker” will be released for players. This adventure will introduce them to the wandering Zeswa Clan and guide them through the unexplored Upper Plains of Pandora. The most exciting part of this adventure is the grand gathering of clans where players can expect reunions and unexpected twists. However, a mysterious shadow looms over the festivities, adding an air of mystery to the proceedings.
Coming in Fall 2024, Secrets of the Spire is an upcoming story pack that takes the action to the Western Frontier. The story is centered around the aftermath of the RDA’s mining activities, and players will take on the role of Banshee riders in the sky to defend Pandora’s delicate ecosystem. The pack promises to deliver thrilling aerial combat gameplay, as players engage in dynamic battles to safeguard the planet from the RDA’s destructive agenda.
The Season Pass is an essential component of the Gold and Ultimate Editions of Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, which aims to enhance the overall experience. It’s not merely a game, but rather a voyage into a constantly developing world – a true reflection of Ubisoft Massive’s commitment to creating engaging and continuous storylines.
The highly anticipated game, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, has released an exciting new trailer that promises players an immersive and engaging experience. With the inclusion of expansive new areas, intriguing missions, and a deep dive into the lore of Pandora, the game’s Season Pass is expected to keep players entertained well into 2024. Both fans of the Avatar universe and gaming enthusiasts alike will not want to miss out on this adventure.

Dried fish, Fish bones, resin, reclaimed aluminium printing press plates, sound scapes, timber, acrylic ink, lights and video.
Tricia Flanagan and Ayumi Matsuzaka are tracking stories, visiting ethnographic groups, experiencing cultures, collecting and editing what they find. They travel to different harbours and fishing communities around the globe, and talk with local fishermen and seamen. They cook and eat fish with them, collect bones, stories and recipes as traces of their encounters.
This collection of visual, aesthetic and sculptural objects creates an archive, which forms the basis of an innovative, interactive installation that relates to the context of the exhibition location. The artists preserve the fish bones and display them in made-tomeasure tins, the objects created evidence the collective memory of the site. ‘Memories of past use and its wider global network of experience, revealed the things that sustain communities, those grass root histories that are part of personal and oral traditions rather than official stories.’25
Two boxes travelled to Venice; one from Newcastle, Australia and one from Weimar, Germany. During the Venice exhibition a third box was in progress collecting Venetian stories. Venice is an international port for shipping and luxury liners. Venetian culture is moulded by its unique topography, dominated by water, transport is by foot or gondola along the canals. The sound of Venice is unique – busy with human sounds but with an absence of motor vehicles. The intimate relationship with water is evident in the commercial fishing industry and largely seafood based diet. In addition to the Novocastrian and German fish boxes, twenty-four small dried fish from Japan were displayed in three elongated boxes that resembled tiny specimen draws.
The theme of the exhibition in Venice was an exploration of Export Heimat where sixteen artists, Polish, Japanese and Australian explored the connection between place and identity. For Flanagan and Matsuzaka, a common link between them and the location was that both artists, in their homelands live in harbour side communities, Newcastle and Nagasaki respectively and the exhibition was at another harbour location, Venice.
The two artists met in Weimar, Germany where Flanagan had been working with the artists collective Ag Tiefseh for some years on exhibitions based on variations of the theme, water. For example Täglich Meer 2001 (a word play on ‘Täglich Meer’ taken to mean both ‘more each day’ and ‘the everday ocean’); VI Mare – Weimar Lag am Meer 2002, (Weimar by the Sea); Weimar Schwimmt 2003, (Weimar Swims) the latter was located on the banks of the Ilm River – so the artist became aware that fishing playes a part in Weimarian culture, and the quest began to explore the relationship between place and identity through fish.
The project grows in layers as it adaptes to respond to each new location. In 2008 all of the boxes were packed into a large shipping crate, and travelled by sea to Newcastle to become part of the Back to the City project.
The location was on the wharf edge of Newcastle Harbour outside the Maritime Museum. The harbours edge is a site infused with the memories and histories of Novocastrians.
‘Preserved Fish’ was an intervention in public space that attempted to overlay personal stories on the concrete and steel façades of the site. The project engaged people in the public sphere, re-animating the space through dialogical and relational aesthetics. Enhancing the collective memory of the space, one listens to the voices of fishermen – it’s like putting your ear to the ground to listen to the heartbeat of the city.
The artists in collaboration with architect Geoff Whitnall (Newcastle), presented their findings back to the community using innovative artistic design strategies. Infiltrating the urban space by integrating with the site’s history and the contemporary portscape; a shipping container forms the basic structure for the implantation. Inside, live images of the working harbour are projected, overlaying the visitors with the seascape.
Preserved Fish linked with the local institution, The Maritime Museum and their coinciding ‘fishing’ exhibition. The collaboration involved logistic support and the development of educational material for schools.
From micro to macro levels, the harbour’s edge presents multilayered networks of transaction and exchange.
…Sundays fishing on the harbours edge… …Fishermen sailing daily out through the heads before dawn… …Cargo ships on international shipping lanes lined up to enter the port…
International ships have come and gone over decades, so it’s surprising that Newcastle has very little signage in foreign languages. In Preserved Fish the signage is multi-lingual, and the voices can be heard speaking in their native tongue. Short transcripts explain the meaning in English, but the direct experience is multi-lingual.
The estuary of the Hunter River is the basis for Newcastle’s settlement. From its indigenous past, white invasion in 1791 (by Lieutenant John Shortland), through convict settlement (1804 – 1822) to the busy city of today, the Hunter River and Newcastle Harbour has become an international port city.
The former industrial worksites of the wharf were open only to authorised rail and wharf workers and formed a buffer from the harbours edge excluding the public from the waters edge. An earthquake in 1989 and the closure of BHP in 1999 left the city as a post industrial and commercial wasteland.
The public’s gaze gradually turned from the city centre shopping strip, which runs parallel to the river but is divided from it by a rail corridor, toward the harbour.
The valuable land along the foreshore began to be redeveloped into corporate hubs with correspondingly prestigious buildings and luxury apartments for inner city living.
The surrounding spaces now form privately owned public spaces, which are bought into rather than lived in places. These modern architectural spaces have been designed as the new city centre’s cultural precinct linking the Museum, Theatre, Art Gallery, Library and Sporting Facilities; the new heart of the city.
The site-specific urban installation, ‘Preserved Fish’ recalls a time when the individual proletariat experienced the harbour across weedy fields and industrial wastelands or further back when indigenous communities fished there, and reminds the current inhabitants that this place of new development has a collective memory. It is not just an empty location waiting to come to life through redevelopment. The artwork unites the designer world of the commercial landscape with its roots, its soul – the people who inhabit the place.
Direct engagement with local people in this work is an artistic strategy to create a sense of ownership and pride of place and to develop the urban identity of the city centre. But it is not just a contemporary aural history of Novocastrian stories.
The artists connected the port with other international harbours in China, Japan, Germany and Italy and brought together a cultural collection of multilingual sound sculptures, images and artefacts.
During the Newcastle exhibition of ‘Preserved Fish’ Flanagan and Matsuzaka created a short film featuring Newcastle harbour from the perspective of a canoe, documenting the action of collecting, preserving and eating fish using a traditional Japanese method that Matsusaka learnt from Nagasaki fishermen. Two other video works were screened in the shipping container, both filmed in Hong Kong in The Peoples Republic of China, one featuring the harbour and the other the fish markets.
Artists are often ‘monadic’ – a contemporary nomad that carries his culture with him, ones culture becomes starker when dislocated from its heritage. Across the cultural platforms what is revealed are the commonalities and differences that make a rich ethnographic tapestry, an exchange of cuisine and a love of fishing.

Honda is focused on the development of a new model to succeed the NSX.
Planned for 2008, Honda NSX should benefit from its experiment in F1 by proposing a V10 engine for the new car.
This addresses the single largest complaint about the original NSX, which has always been its lack of power.
Just like the old one, will be a technological window for Honda "This new sports car will be the first of a new generation" concluded the director of Honda, Takeo Fukui.
With the V10 the new NSX will be the most powerful honda ever made.The carmaker is aiming for the top in producing engines.
The new Honda/Acura NSX will move upmarket, and will target Aston Martin.
2008 NSX II will offer a 4.5 Liter V10 and a 3.6 V6 , all wheel drive with prices around $100,000.
The mid-engine Honda HSC concept from the 2003 Tokyo show the way toward the next NSX.
The use of Honda’s "Super Handling AWD" system is also a possibility.
SH-AWD is capable applying a greater percentage of overall torque to the rear wheels in aggressive driving situations.
The SH-AWD technology is fantastic for high performance vehicles. The technology was first used on Acura’s RL model. It worked so well, that they have decided to apply the technology to some of their more high-performance vehicles.
Honda plans to raise its global sales by nearly 25 percent over the next three years to four million vehicles a year.Its strategy is based around offering clean, economical models, more hybrids and alternative-fuel vehicles.
The old one
Honda ended production of the NSX in 2005, 15 years after the first NSX was built. The last cars were built in September for the European market and December for North America. For most of its life, it was the most expensive Japanese car in many markets.


DOHA : France will play Argentina, looking to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to win consecutive World Cups. France coach Didier Deschamps lauded his players after a 2-0 win over Morocco in the second World Cup semifinal booked them a place in Sunday's final.
French President Emmanuel Macron and FIFA president Gianni Infantino inside the stadium before the match between France and Morocco
"There is emotion, there is pride, there is going to be a final step," said Deschamps on French television after the final whistle. The coach said that it had been a difficult game against Morocco, who had over 60% of the ball. "We have been together with the players for a month and it is never easy, but there's happiness so far," he said.
Antoine Griezmann, who won man-of-the-match, admitted he was "already thinking about Sunday's final" against Argentina. "We will have to be focused, recuperate well, and prepare for Sunday's encounter," he added, before admiring Lionel Messi.
"When Leo is on a squad, everything is different. We have watched practically all of Argentina's games, so we are familiar with their style of play. They are in a strong spot and are a very challenging squad.
Griezmann remarked, "They are a bunch that gets along well with each other like us, and they will have their supporters with them.
The forward had kind words for Morocco as well. "They impressed me; they executed their defensive, offensive, and tactical plans really effectively. They caused us a lot of issues," he said.
From the grandstand, French President Emmanuel Macron saw the game and praised France's victory.
"Our countrymen deserve simple, unadulterated delight, and sport, namely soccer, offers it. Despite the hardships, we witnessed a fantastic team. Thank you so much to our coach and our team, which is really a blend of different generations, which is fantastic, said Macron.


Despite looking outwardly similar to the preceding models, Porsche thoroughly updated their 356 line in 1956 and called their new model the 356A. At the core, this included a larger 1600 cc engine, but also a curved-glass windshield and a thoroughly revised suspension. At the 1955 Frankfurt Motor Show in September of 1955, Porsche released the 356A/1600 to the world with cabriolet, coupe and speedster bodies from Reutter. These were updated to better suit the improved gasoline and tire technologies of the period.
With the 356A came a larger 1582 cc engine that had higher compression to take advantage of the available higher octane fuels. A Type 616/2 Super engine was offered as an option with raised power. Extensive testing by the experimental department known as Versuchsabteilung resulted in numerous suspension and drive line mounting changes before the final 356A specification was decided. They softened the springs by removing leaves from the torsion cars and fitted stiffer dampers. This was done to take advantage of a more modern tire technology which allowed for a smaller-diameter 15-inch tire and a wider tread with reduced air pressures.
From the outside, the 356A kept to the Porsche mantra of stepwise evolution. The new model was outwardly identical to the previous version except for the wider tires, a small rub-strip below the doors, a fully-curved front window and enamel paint replacing lacquer previously used.
Inside, Porsche fitted an all-new, flat-face dashboard that was sculpted around the new curved windshield. It included a padded-top, locking glovebox and a provision for a modern radio. Other interior appointments included a headlight flasher, automatic interior lighting, self-cancelling signal switches and, most importantly, a lower floor. Popular options were a steering-wheel lock and a clock.
At the 1957 Frankfurt Motor Show Porsche released the T2 body style with exhaust routing through the rear bumper over-riders. More importantly, the T2 cars stopped using the roller-bearing crankshafts and the Hirth crankshaft in the Super models. Other changes included changing the carburation from Solex to Zenith 32 NDIX. By 1959 the 356A was replaced outright by the 356B.
Porsche 356A/1600 Coupe (1956 – 1959)
The Porsche 356 A Coupe appeared in late 1955 and continued to be the most popular body style of the 356 A line-up. Almost 6,000 T1 Coupes were produced, practically doubling the amount of 356 A Cabriolet and Speedsters offered during the same time span. After the T2 changes were made to the 356 A, about 7,200 Coupe cars were produced, a difference close to 3,000 more than Cabriolet, Speedster, and Convertible D’s combined. In 1959, the 356 A Coupe was replaced by the Porsche 356 B T5 Coupe.
Porsche 356A/1600 Cabriolet (1956 – 1959)
The Porsche 356 A Cabriolet body style continued as the main Convertible variant of the 356 A in late 1955. Rarer than the Speedster for the T1 cars (1,000 cars produced vs. 2,400 Speedsters), the Cabriolet had some features that made it more a convertible tourer than a low-cost sports-oriented vehicle as was the Speedster. Some of these features included wider and more comfortable seats (instead of the sport bucket-seats), a fixed, taller windshield that made part of the body (instead of a smaller, removable windshield), and roll-up glass windows (instead of side-curtains). Engine choices mimicked those that were available with the Coupe, with 1300, 1300S, 1600, and 1600S options(the 356 A Carrera engine was also available in the cabriolet body style).
In 1957, the T2 body change came mid-year and the Cabriolet featured a modified rear cowling that allowed it to accept a new optional hardtop. Wing windows were also added to the Cabriolet. For this evolution from the T1 cars, the Cabriolet production exceeded that of the Speedster (2,400 vs. 1.300 T2 Speedsters). Total production for 356 A Cabriolets peaked at 3,367 when it was replaced with the Porsche 356 B Cabriolet in late 1959.
Porsche 356A/1600 Speedster (1956 – 1958)
After its introduction in late 1954, the Porsche 356 A Speedster continued life in the 356 A generation as a stripped-down, low-cost, sports-oriented, convertible Porsche 356. It had a cut-down windshield that could easily be removed, a lightweight removable top, and side curtains instead of roll-up windows featured in the 356 A Cabriolet. It could be had with any of the engine options offered for the 356 A Generation (a limited number were made with the Carrera Engine). Popular in the United States for use in racing and sports car events, the Speedster became possibly the most iconic version of the 356. Total production is estimated at 3,944 cars between 1955 and mid-1959 when it was replaced by the Porsche 356 A Convertible D.
Porsche 356A/1600 Convertible D (1959)
Produced in 1959 only, the Porsche 356 Convertible D was the replacement for the 356 A Speedster. In many ways this reflected Porsches desire to make more expensive and premium models. As a result, the $3,695 Convertible was much more expensive than the Speedster it replaced. As such the new car featured roll-up windows for the first time, a more robust hardtop and a higher windshield for more headroom. Porsche retained the chrome-ringed windshield trim which was iconic of the Speedster. Inside Porsche retained the Speedster dashboard, but fitted more luxurious seats and door panels with integrated pockets. Drauz at Heilbronn, Germany was responsible for production of the bodies which explains the Convertible D moniker. Major differences were the addition of roll up side windows, a better convertible top, and a slightly taller windshield, though it was still easily removable. Total production was 1,330 cars. The “D” was a reference to the coach builder Drauz. It was replaced by the Porsche 356 B Roadster in 1960.
More powerful and further refined, the 356 A was manufactured until September 1959 with production split between two varieties: the T-1 (1956 and 1957 model years) and the T-2 (1958 and 1959 model years). Initially available in Coupe, Cabriolet and Speedster body styles, the Speedster was ultimately replaced by the slightly more practical Convertible D for the 1959 model year. Customers could choose from either plain or roller-bearing engines of 1.3 or 1.6-litres.
Like all 356s, the ‘A’ derivative featured a unitary steel chassis / body. Suspension was fully independent via transverse torsion bars and trailing arms with additional swing axles at the rear. To improve handling and offer a more compliant ride, the suspension now came with softer springs and increased travel. At the rear, vertically mounted telescopic shock absorbers replaced the old angled type and telescopic steering dampers were fitted for greater precision. The hydraulic drum brakes were almost the same as before but the rear shoes were widened to match those at the front.
Grip was improved by fitting wider 15 x 4.5-inch wheels (up from 16 x 3.25-inches). These were shod with 5.6-inch wide tires (up from 5-inches). Wheel and hub cap designs were the same as before. The Coupe, Cabriolet and Speedster bodies built on the 356 A platform were fabricated by Reutter. They featured a number of changes to the outgoing model. A new curved glass windscreen for the Coupe and Cabriolet replaced the rather crude bent arrangement used previously which meant the front scuttle and roof had to be made rounder. Not only was this arrangement more visually appealing, it further improved visibility.
The wheelarches were also rounder than before while flattened sills no longer curved underneath the bodywork. New jacking points were required as a result. The flattened sills were given a protective chrome strip with a rubber insert that ran the length of the wheelbase. As before, Speedster variants had a unique cut-down windscreen plus an anodized gold belly strip on each flank and Speedster script on each front fender.
The 356 A came with an all-alloy air-cooled Flat 4 engine in four states of tune: 1300, 1300 Super, 1600 and 1600 Super. The new 1.6-litre engines replaced the outgoing 1.5s. By increasing each cylinder bore from 80mm to 82.5mm, displacement rose from 1488cc to 1582cc. Stroke stayed at 74mm. The difference between Porsche’s regular engines and the Super variants was an exotic roller-bearing crankshaft in the latter. The former had a more conservative plain-bearing crank.
Universal modifications made to all 356 A engines saw a heavier flywheel installed to subdue idling and facilitate smoother starts. Hot air was now directed from the cylinders to the carburetors for quicker warm-up. While the 1300 and 1300 Super had to make do 44 bhp and 60 bhp respectively, the 1600 got the more powerful Type 616/1 engine, with a compression ratio of 7.5:1 and twin Solex 32 PBIC carburetors. Power for the 1600 was 60 bhp at 4500 rpm and 81 ft lbs of torque at 2800 rpm. The 1.6-litre variants were officially exported to the USA, while the others were not. Transmission was via Porsche’s own four-speed synchromesh gearbox.
This package was a decent performer for the era. The 1600 could accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 14.10 seconds, complete the quarter mile in 22.5 seconds and hit a top speed of 103 mph.
A series of updates were made inside as well. Coupes and Cabriolets came with a redesigned dashboard, the top of which was now trimmed in either leather or vinyl to match the rest of the upholstery. Previously, this upper element had been body colored metal like the rest of the dash. The Speedster already used its own type of custom dash (with a unique instrument binnacle and black vinyl top) which was retained.
VDO gauges replaced the old Veigel type in all three variants. While the instruments were still green on black, the three primary gauges (speedometer, tachometer and a combined oil temperature / fuel gauge) were now the same size. A full circle horn ring was added to the steering wheel and a hand throttle knob to the dash. The handbrake was now operated by a chrome handle with an in-out twist action and was no longer attached to the steering column.
Fully reclining front seats became standard and the rear seats were re-designed. Radio speakers were housed in each kick panel (to replace the old dash-mounted speaker). A bright white perforated vinyl headliner was fitted. This extended down the roof pillars unlike the original cloth headliner. In addition to its special dashboard, the Speedster did not have the door pockets fitted to Coupes and Cabriolets.
Porsche made the first updates to the 356 A in July 1956 when cars bound for the USA were fitted with elaborate bumper overriders and a nudge bar. More changes came on stream from March 1957. The two circular tail lights per side were replaced by a single teardrop cluster and the number plate light was moved from above the registration plate to below it. At the same time, padded sun visors were introduced, the now chrome ashtray was repositioned to the base of the dash and the rear window on Cabriolets and Speedsters was enlarged.
Production of the T-1 ended in September 1957 after 8364 had been completed. This figure comprised 5782 Coupes, 892 Cabriolets and 1690 Speedsters. In September 1957, the revised T-2 was launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show and the 1.3-litre engines were dropped. This meant that, aside from the four-cam Carrera, customers had just two motors to choose from: the 1600 and 1600 Super. The regular 1600 engine was enhanced with the aluminium camshaft gear used on the Super (to replace the old fibre-toothed unit) and cast-iron cylinders were fitted to lower manufacturing costs and provide quieter running.
A universal change included offset piston wrist pins to counteract the problems sometimes experienced with cold engines. There was also a modified crankcase to improve oil flow and a bigger, stronger oil cooler was fitted. Zenith 32 NDIX carburettors replaced the outgoing Solex type. Despite these not insignificant changes, Porsche retained the existing type numbers for both engines. The regular 1600 unit was Type 616/1. With its 7.5:1 compression ratio it produced 60bhp at 4500rpm and 80lb-ft at 2800rpm. The gearbox was a new single-piece Type 644 four-speed gearbox. A Haussermann diaphragm spring clutch replaced the Fichtel & Sachs coil-sprung assembly used on the T-1.
Few modifications were made to the chassis, but the T-2’s floorpan was strengthened at specific points to accept seatbelts. A ZF worm and peg steering box replaced the old VW-derived component and offered greater precision thanks in part to an increase in the steering ratio. Only minor cosmetic changes were made. T-2′s were most easily identifiable by their exhaust pipes that exited through the bumper overriders. However, while this distinctive feature improved ground clearance, it came at the expense of quickly discolored metalwork. Door handles were made more rounded on all three body styles, a towing hook was added under the lower nose panel and Supers got Porsche crests added to their hubcaps. A new option was a hardtop for the Cabriolet (manufactured by Brendel).
In August 1958, Porsche discontinued the Speedster and replaced it with the Convertible D. The Convertible D bore more than a passing resemblance to the Speedster but came with a taller windscreen, wind-up windows, a proper folding canvas roof and standard seats instead of buckets. The bodies were initially fabricated by Drauz in Heilbronn and then by Reutter. Convertible Ds retained the Speedster’s distinctive clip on swage line although this was now silver instead of gold and the Speedster script from each front wing was dropped.
356 A production ended in September 1959 when the 356 B was introduced. By this time, 12,161 T-2s had been completed. Of these, 7225 were Coupes, 2475 were Cabriolets, 1131 were Speedsters and 1330 were Convertible Ds.

Just over a year ago, hundreds of people rallied at Lake Sacajawea to “back the blue” in the wake of the slaying of Cowlitz County sheriff’s deputy Justin DeRosier.
Fast forward 13 months. Hundreds of demonstrators here have joined millions of others across the nation to protest police brutality in the wake of the death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police.
At least in the public perception, police have gone from hero to villain.
No doubt about it my mind. George Floyd was murdered by police officers. And my hope here is they get convicted. And the peaceful demonstrators who have demanded reform across the nation are justified, even while those who loot and instigate violence deserve equally strong condemnation.
Still, this is typical of American politics: An overreaction to a very real, deeply rooted and complex problem.
And such extreme shifts of the pendulum get in the way of serious discussion and dialogue.
Cops are like most people. In the course of 41 years in journalism in this community, I’ve met good cops and bad cops; dedicated cops and lazy cops; polite and honest cops; arrogant and crooked cops. As a profession they’re just like other employee groups: Some are excellent, some are bad and most are average. But at least one other thing is for sure: They should be expected to behave at a higher moral standard, because to enforce the law they first must uphold the law — and because they’re authorized to use guns and nightsticks.
Vilifying the whole profession, as some protesters are now doing, serves no purpose and has spawned problematic proposals such as banning the use of tear gas, prohibiting all no-knock warrants and yanking significant police funding. I ask, do you want criminals to run rampant? Do you want an officer to respond when a burglar is entering your business? What do you want police to use to stop riots and looters in lieu of tear gas, real bullets and billy clubs? And should police really have to give a calling card to a well-armed drug dealer before serving an arrest warrant?
The rhetoric has gotten so out of hand that some people even are demanding cancellation of the cartoon show “Paw Patrol,” a Nickelodeon cartoon show that features a police dog.
In addition, the class trashing continues to pour gasoline on the anger, leading to a vicious cycle of riots and heavy-handed police response.
As a white man in an overwhelmingly white community, I can’t pretend to fully comprehend the pent up anger of the African-American community.
The George Floyd incident ignited a megaton of emotional TNT that can’t be ignored and brushed aside with more study committees and workshops. We do need to rethink how we spend our law enforcement budgets. We do need to reconsider our war on drugs in light of a broader, more holistic social policy that focuses on reform instead of incarceration, which leads to a disproportionate share of black arrests. We do need to reinforce African-American families and bolster the entire middle class so they, too, can live the American Dream.
But how we shape and frame political conflicts ultimately determines how and whether we resolve them. Escalating violence and hate-filled rhetoric at this point is counterproductive to the cause of police reform, and it just gives ammunition to the radical right, who in some cases is instigating even more trouble.
There isn’t room in this column to debate whether violence is ever morally justified as a means to achieving political ends. I personally don’t believe that it is except as a means of self-defense. And having watched this tragedy unfold, and having stood among demonstrators and counter-demonstrators, what I see is needed is more dialogue, not more rhetoric that stereotypes and dehumanizes either side.
We need respect, and we need to work at earning it. Police and black leaders all have an interest in extending an olive branch and start the conversation.
But the onus is on the police to move that forward. They are, after all, supposed to be the peacekeepers. And with more than a century of abuse and profiling at the hands of law enforcement, the African-American community is justifiably wary.
Without a genuine and respectful rapprochement, the cycle of violence will just continue.

Police: Wrong-way driver hits truck head-on, other driver flees
SAN DIEGO (KUSI) — A wrong-way driver was injured when his sedan struck a pickup truck head-on in the Shelltown area Sunday, but it was the pickup driver who ran away, police said.
The crash was at 2:43 p.m. Sunday on South 43rd Street near Delta Street, just north of National City, according to information from San Diego police.
A 21-year-old man was driving a Saturn sedan north in the southbound lanes of 43rd Street and hit a Ford F-150 traveling the correct direction, San Diego police Officer Sarah Foster said.
The F-150 driver left the area shortly after the crash, Foster said. Foster said she wasn’t sure if the pickup driver walked away or was picked up in a veicle.
The Saturn driver had broken ribs and a broken arm.
Traffic detectives were investigating.
