Santa Cruz CA beach rough surf life guard rescue. 🍌🐌

[Yahoo News @YahooNews]

A frantic rescue unfolded at a Santa Cruz beach when a child was swept into powerful, tsunami-like waves, prompting a teenage lifeguard to dive into the life-threatening surf.

The lifeguard — who witnesses said carried out one of the most heroic rescues they had ever seen — was identified as just a 16-year-old high school student, according to local outlet NBC Bay Area. https://t.co/GLJkY3ls3W

Could the US convert fish scales into collagen for frozen food, desserts, beauty products, such as export markets?

Should Maine do this fish scales for export?

My condolences to the Affleck & Garner families, (both once upon a time, way back when were family friends of ours),

on the death of Christopher Anne Affleck, mother of famous Ben & Casey.

[Megan Johnson @megansarahj]

I don’t see anyone writing about this yet, but an incredible obituary for Ben Affleck’s mom in the Globe today. What a life!

Just amazing 3D printed mechanical calculator. I would like to understand it better, & mass-produce such tools.

UDC @udc_edu should be expert & mass produce tools.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

The Mechanical Calculator by KingTut is a fully mechanical calculator is designed to solve times tables in seconds.

Entirely 3D-printed, it requires no glue, screws, or additional hardware for working.

I oppose candidates like DSA hardliner Abdul ElSayed DSA-ME who so adamantly oppose union labor families US voting rights, DSA refuse to take even 2 seconds to pledge pro #DCstatehood,

but videoing campaign ads live, at a loud rally, is extremely clever.

Galveston Texas is named for Spanish Governor Bernardo de Gálvez. My ancestors likely were acutely aware of this when trading with Galveston, basis of how Texas became part of the US.

[Echoes of War @EchoesofWarYT]

Everyone knows the American Revolution was won at Yorktown.

Almost nobody knows it was also won in Florida, by Spain.

On May 6, 1781, the Siege of Pensacola was in its final, brutal week. For two months, a Spanish army under a 34-year-old general named Bernardo de Gálvez had been grinding down the British capital of West Florida.

Gálvez wasn't just any commander. He was the Governor of Spanish Louisiana, and when Spain entered the war as an American ally in 1779, he immediately went on the offensive. By the time he reached Pensacola, he'd already captured Baton Rouge, Natchez, and Mobile.

Pensacola was the prize. The last major British stronghold on the Gulf Coast, defended by 1,100 troops behind serious fortifications.

Then, on May 8, two days after this date, Spanish artillery scored a hit on the British powder magazine at the Queen's Redoubt. The explosion killed nearly 100 defenders instantly. The British surrendered the same day.

Why does this matter for America?

Because Gálvez's campaign tied down thousands of British troops, ships, and supplies that could have crushed Washington's army. He kept the Mississippi open for American supply lines. He drained the British war machine in a theater Americans couldn't reach.

When the British finally surrendered at Yorktown five months later, it was partly because they had nothing left to give.

Galveston, Texas is named after him. So is a county in Texas. There's a statue of him in Washington, D.C.

But ask the average American who Bernardo de Gálvez was, and you'll get a blank stare.

@NATO How does @NatGeo have tv shows on Havana Syndrome, & @NATO HQ not have support for AHI politically assassinated in Brussels while assigned to NATO HQ like my family?

How does the US @StateDept not have comprehensive support for AHI victims like 4yo me?

[Nathaniel Pendleton @NPPendleton]

@NATO Does @NATO have official policy on AHI injuries & AHI injured, (aka “Havana Syndrome” since 2016) violent maimed & disabled for life diplomats family members by unnamed individuals or countries in violation of treaties?

I & several others 1970s injured.

Who do I ask at NATO HQ?

[Nathaniel Pendleton @NPPendleton]

@MidwesternPRA Needs many tweaks.
1) needs a ORD airport region stop with shuttle bus into airport.
2) needs >750mi routes eg Duluth-MSP-Chicago-Cincinnati & Fargo-CHI-Louisville
3) needs all fast short Chicago-ORD-Milwaukee Airport-Milwaukee-Madison train to terminate at Portage for bus depot.
