America’s goal in establishing a seaport is primarily military & political, not humanitarian: - Gain control over Gaza’s gas resources - Establish US-Israel military presence - Dismantle UNRWA & have aid distributed through local militias. - Isolate Gaza from the Palestinian body

Gaza City has a long history as a crossroad of regional trade & travel. As a port city, Gaza was a stop on the Incense Road. In more recent history, until WWI, Gaza seaport was a main hub for import & export trade to southern Palestine, & its hinterland, including Jordan and Iraq

Since 1967, Israel has exercised full control of Gaza’s 43km coastline and territorial waters, blocking ships from reaching the city. Gaza seaport is the only Mediterranean port closed to shipping, because of Israeli colonization and continued destruction.

Between 1967 and 1994, the existing infrastructure was severely neglected. Railways, air and seaports were no longer at the free disposal of Palestinians and were only there to serve Israel, its army and its settlers.

As part of the 1993 Oslo Accords, the Netherlands & France governments committed $42.8m to the reconstruction of the Gaza seaport and to the training of port personnel. A Dutch-French consortium that specialises in seaports signed a construction contract in July 2000 with the PA.

The seaport was scheduled to be completed by August 2002. But Israel being Israel, in 2000, Israel halted any construction & in 2002, Israeli navy attacked the PA naval patrol boats in Gaza, causing extensive damage and no further implementation of the project was allowed.

Since 2007, Israel has repeatedly bombed Gaza’s seaport, which only now serves Palestinian fishermen. It has repeatedly shot & killed fishermen and destroyed their boats. Israel is also imposing a maritime sea blockade on Gaza for more than 60 years. Israel is cutting life short.

In June 2010 the EU Parliament urged EU Member States to “take steps to ensure the sustainable opening of all the crossing points to and from Gaza, including the port of Gaza, with adequate international end-use monitoring”.

Establishing a maritime window from Gaza to the outside world is possible, if the focus is put on ending Israel’s state violence, war crimes & genocide. What the Americans are now doing isn’t providing LIFE to Palestinians, but actually entrenching Israeli colonization.

A TID a nemzetközi evezős Duna túra, Ingolstadtból kb a torkolatig. Minden szakaszt helyi evezősök szerveznek, bárhol lehet csatlakozni. Hozod a hajód, minden este hatkor van vacsora, közösen van a szállás (nem mindenhol van rendes kemping hanem helyi önkormányzatokkal kell ledumálni, hol lehet felverni 40-60 sátrat). Még a zsilipelés közös, megvan hogy mikor kell odaérni, hogy kinyissák nekünk.

Apa idén az osztrák szakasztól csinálja Budapestig, én is csatlakoztam kicsit több mint 100 kilométerre, nem mintha nem lennék már így is nagyon fáradt a nyaralás után, hanem mert amikor utoljára hívott, nem akartam emiatt hazarepülni, de mondta a feleségem, hogy még hány évig hív apád evezni?! Úgyhogy inkább visszaköltöztünk Európába és muszáj evezni menni. Apa + két éppen ráérő tesó + én, rajtunk kívül szinte senki más nincs túra kenuval persze.

Én péntek-szombat-vasárnapra csatlakoztam, pont jó helyen volt a kemping, mondjuk délelőtt 10 előtt így is utaztam már villamos/metró/vonat/busz/HAJÓN.

Az első nap Aggsbach-Mautner csodás volt, csak 23 km, volt időnk kiszállni és felmászni egy hegyre megnézni a romot.al Csak a cruise-okat kellett kerülgetni egész Wachauban.

Alig várom, hogy hogy megyek vissza legközelebb. Bringán?

A kemping nem igazi kemping volt, úgyhogy egy helyi általános iskolában kellett zuhanyozni, ahol a férfi meg a női öltöző is ugyanabba a zuhanyzóba nyílt, ahol se kabinok, se függöny, semmi.

Az osztrák szervezők mondták, hogy a TID-nek mindig szívesen odaadják a partot mert nagyon jó táborozók, és tényleg - mi bontottunk sátrat kb utoljára, és mintha sosem lett volna ott majdnem 100 ember. Főleg német nyugdíjasok vannak amúgy, de van hajó új-zélandi zászlóval, meg van egy csávó két 7-9 éves forma kislánnyal. Este azt élveztem legjobban, hogy teljesen sötét volt a tábor, senki nem gyújtott zseblámpát, max a sátorban. Ha ki kellett menni, holdfényben/csillagfényben ment mindenki.

A mai szakasz viszont nagyon gyilkos volt, nem bánok egy kis kihívást, de nagyon lelassult a folyó, a folyami térkép szerint 1 km/h-nál is kisebb a sodrás, cserébe szembeszél, tűző nap. Ha abbahagyjuk az evezést, elkezdünk visszafelé menni, nem lehet csak csorogni.

A kései indulás miatt meg kellett húzni, hogy odaérjünk a zsiliphez, a táv is nagyon nagy volt (43km).

Óriási zsilip, legalább 15m volt a szint. Szerencsére késett egy 20 percet, különben nem értünk volna oda. A várakozás ideje alatt előkerül a szájharmonika valahol.

Aztán a nap további része ugyanilyen volt, azzal megspékelve, hogy a naptej megolvadt a homlokomon és belefolyt a szemembe. A Dr Kelen eléggé csíp amúgy.

Tullnban óriási kempingben van a szállás, fura azért a lakókocsik közé sátrat verni, de értékelem a zuhanyzót.

Holnap a Donauinselen van a vége (nekem), kb ugyanezt ígérik, mint mára. Szenvedés és verejték.

Most ez ennyi, de szívesen megcsinálnám egyszer a teljeset.

基本的にミカキューでは車両以外の設定は考えないけど、見る人に最低限の路線イメージだけは作っておこうと考えている

ミカキューには全長43kmという名金トンネルがあるんだけど、第3セクター鉄道にこんな長大トンネルが掘れるのかというのは自分の中でも解決しなくてはいけない問題だった

技術面ではまあ何とかなるにしても資金をどうするか、ってところで、石川県の素封家に登場してもらうことにした。石川県の財界人というのは今でもまあとんでもない資産家がそれなりにいて、そういう人たちの源流をたどると旧制四高という学校に至るわけで、そこの出身者に名鉄の土川元夫がいる

俺のザル架鉄ならこれだけ「事実」があれば十分。名鉄と石川財界をつないで自治体の出資割合が異様に低い第三セクター鉄道「美加急行」が生まれるわけです

とにかく歴史なんて設定する気もないので、あとは素封家の動きを軽くまとめりゃあOKOKってなもんですが、美加急行にどれだけ素封家と土川元夫の影響を組み込むかの匙加減だけはつけておきたいですね

The Muxía Way, Day 3

20 miles on foot and a good place to hang my hat for today...

Camino de Muxía, Etapa 3, Santa Mariña to A Grixa, 30.1 kilometers This walk to the coast from Santiago might be my favorite terrain of all that I’ve walked (Francés, Português, Inglés). I love the views, the forests, and the fields. I’ll add more to this in the next post. I decided on this journey that 20 to 22 kilometers a day is my sweet spot for walking (my range is 10km to 43km). The…

[releases inner russell's twitter circa 2013] 43km bike ride today 😎👌

the radio telescope is one of the oldest in the world and was first used in 1956. it is right at the edge of a heath, and as you bike there you can see the structure really well from a large distance. & the bridge is still manually in use which struck me by surprise! but it was nice to watch it being closed after a lot of little boats passed. :-)

Shinkansen Stamina 🚄 - Day 27. It’s another not treadmill or exercise bike day - I just spent about 2 hours hanging up stuff in one of my classrooms as we have an Open Night in a few days. And I’m bloody well counting it towards today’s total. *does some maths on the back of an envelope* Today I walked about 500m in the process of putting things up around my classroom. That brings my total up to 43km (9.8% the way to the next station.)

#aFactADay2024

#1434: as your favourite factoid goes, the Earth isn't completely round, but bulged at the centre because something something centrifugal force (hence fotd#78, way back!). but exactly how squished? 43km squished. the polar diameter (distance between sea level at the poles) is 43km shorter than the equitorial diameter. for some reason, this is measured as a "flattening" rather than a stretching (which would have made more sense imho....) - the number is given as if it started as a sphere and was squished between the poles. you certainly wouldn't notice those 43km just by looking at it: it's only a flattening of around 0.33%. Saturn, on the other hand, is so much less dense and so much larger and so much spinnier that it has a flattening of 11%! the diameter of Saturn differs by around 6,000km between the equator and poles!

you can approximate it with the formula 5ω^2r^3/4GM which works for some reason i can't be bothered to understand right now, but it tends to overestimate because in reality, the mass is concentrated at the centre of the body and contributes less centripetal effect. for example, plugging Saturn's numbers in give it an extra 7pp of flattening

Cycling to Noen Nangphaya at Khung Wiman - 43km

20 August 2024

[samantha-dan564]

ミカキューは国鉄越美南線を高規格化して名金間を速達するというコンセプトで第三セクター化したという経緯をとっているけど、全長43kmにも及ぶ名金トンネルの掘削や高架・隧道化のショートカット路線の建設などでいきなり電化開業というわけにはいかず、1984年に転換が決まったものの全線電化開業は1995年というスケジュールが立てられた

この11年間の輸送を担う気動車（と人員）がミカキューには必要で、どうせ高速化までの旅客なんてたかが知れているのでできるだけ低コストで車両を導入しようということで名鉄と相談した結果、LE-Carが7両投入された。車両自体は一番安い3,500万円の奴だけど、貫通扉を付けたので1ヶ所につき250万円ほどコストアップとなり1両当たりの単価は4,000万円となった。でも7両で2.8億円。11年でお役御免になるのであればいい買い物ではないかと思う

まあただボギーとはいえ二軸のレールバスなので最高速度は70km/h程度がいいところ。そして二軸車特有の蛇行動はボルスタアンカ程度ではどうにもならんわけで、乗務員の評判は今ひとつだったとか

現在は1両が郡上トロッコ線でトロッコを牽引して運用されている…みたいな感じで導入しようと思ってる

北海道は伝染します

たまたまFuraITのDiscordで見かけた自立走行型除草ロボのニュースを研究生に見せたら何か触発されたみたいで燃えていました。(※我々は自立走行型防除ロボに取り組んでいるので) 北大が関係してる事もなにか思うところがあったみたいですね。 そしてなぜかそのまま北海道の話になり、1月に撮影した札幌の積雪写真を見ながら大はしゃぎしました（ワイも一緒に大はしゃぎしたｗ） なぜ積雪で大はしゃぎするかというと、本県の瀬戸内海沿岸部はさっぱり雪が降らないし、数日を越えて雪が積もり続けることなど数十年に一度？もっとかも？くらいの出来事なのです。僕も今年初北海道だったのですが、「キミも行ってみるといいよフフン」みたいにオススメして��きました。 細かいことはさておき、来道？来北？して起きた様々な出来事が転機になって今があるのは事実なので、光の速さで借りを返すチャンスが訪れるのはまさにIT業界って感じなのでした。

リハーサルで助かりました

研究生の協力で明日の発表のリハーサルをする事が出来、マジ助かりました。泣きそう。おかげで明日は皆に惜しみない拍手を送り(本来の目的)、滞りなく応援登壇(オマケ)できそうです。僕はオンラインなので、スピーカーをオフにして御歓談してても気が付かないので大丈夫です(⁠´⁠；⁠ω⁠；⁠｀⁠) それと、2月の大阪でくろさんの発表をちゃんと聴けなかったのは未だ心残りなままになっているので、明日は大人しく聞きたいです。こないだFuraITにお邪魔した様子だと皆も楽しみにしてるみたい。 ※2月の大阪では撮影チームだったので、うゎっ！登壇しとるッと気がついて頑張ってバシャバシャ撮ってたら全然聴けて無くてベストショットだと思った写真はブレていたのでした……

���なみにリハーサルをしてなかったら、機材トラブルでかなりの時間のロスを引き起こしていたであろう事が分かりました。最近持ち歩いているPCは開発用の物ではなく、マシンパワーが微妙に足りない感じだったのです。通常のビデオ会議までは大丈夫なんですが、画面共有をするとCPUが息切れし、相手側には物凄い遅延が発生して届いていたみたいです。GPU盛盛の研究室マシンに切り替えて事なきを得ました。 発表の内容も研究生に興味を持って貰えて良かったです。たぶん10分以内には収まりそう。興味のある方はテックラーメンでお話しましょう、という流れで締められたので展開的にもお声がけ頂いた分の役割は果たせるかな。

Gráinne Moss: Navigating Open Waters - Expert Advice from arguably Irelands most accomplished female open water swimmer. First Irish woman to swim Cook Strait (2001) Foveaux (2022), Lake Taupō (2021) and the Channel of Bones in Hawaii (2023).

Gráinne Moss is arguably Irelands most accomplished female open water swimmer. 

At 16 she was the first female to represent Ireland in open water swimming at the World Championships. 

At 17 she became the first Irish woman to swim the English Channel. She has continued to achieve many firsts including the first Irish woman to swim Cook Strait (2001) Foveaux (2022), Lake Taupō (2021) and the Channel of Bones in Hawaii (2023). 

Gráinne holds three Triple Crowns of Open Water Swimming (awarded when a swimmer has completed three of the toughest swims in any nation) - including appropriately the Irish and New Zealand Triple Crowns given she was born in Ireland and moved to New Zealand in 1998.

Since 2022 Gráinne has teamed up with Kenzie's Gift to use her swims as an opportunity to raise vital funds for this important charity which cares for children and young people who have experienced serious loss and grief. 

Her next adventure is in May this year when she will swim the famous straits of Gibraltar crossing from Africa to Spain.

OCBC Sportive 40km 2024

A 3.15 alarm clock is obscene in any world. The race kicks off at 5am but the organiser necessitates that riders are at the start by 4. Thankfully I have a Champions Wave ticket (earned at the Speedway) so I’m in front of the 8000 other riders but I still follow the rules and get up at stupid-o-clock.

The champions wave feels a bit light with many choosing not to get up so early. We have 10 Quantum racing, the overseas national teams and a few of the corporate teams - but very few of the usual Matadors or Mavs.

The race kicks off at full gas with Quantum pushing the pace. By the time we get to Swissotel, I think 20% are gone including most of my OCBC colleagues. With a lot of bridge climbs and tight uturns, there’s a lot of hard efforts required to hang on.

We head out and back on the West Coast Highway and the rolling speed is close to 50. I’m hanging on but absolutely not able to contribute in any way. Attacks keep pinging off the front and I need to close a gap out of the MCE tunnel which puts me close to the limit. When the race goes again on Sheares Bridge, I can’t recover and get gapped. 6 of us (Keiichi,IR, National riders) get together to minimise the losses but we end up losing close to 45s in the last 5km to the stadium sprint.

Great ride & really enjoyed it . At 54 mins for the distance, it was a hard 43km pace.

Ate some breakfast in the OCBC lounge and waited for the other OCBC boys to finish. Was sad to hear that Wai Mun had gone down & was in hospital with a fractured shoulder.

The rest of us snuck onto the 20km loop and enjoyed open roads for the first 10km. We then took pictures with the masses on Sheares Bridge. A truly great experience and weird to see the route in daylight. A lovely morning out!
