## PPE Portrait Project

The PPE Portrait project was created by Mary Beth Heffernan. It was started during the 2014–2015 Ebola outbreak as a way of helping patients deal with the trauma of not seeing their caregivers' faces. The project was revived by Cati Brown-Johnson from Stanford University School of Medicine for the COVID-19 pandemic.

Heffernan's social practice PPE Portrait project collaborated with the Liberian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare to humanize the patient-healthcare relationship in the 2014–16 Ebola epidemic. Supported by a Presidential Grant from the Arnold P. Gold Foundation, the PPE Portrait Project placed disposable adhesive portraits on the outside of healthcare worker's hazmat suits so that patients could see who was caring for them.

The PPE Portrait project received national and international recognition on NPR, PRI, the BBC, the *Los Angeles Review of Books*, MSNBC, and was featured in Tiffany Schlain's 2015 film *The Adaptable Mind*. The project was cited by the National Academies of Sciences-Engineering-Medicine as an exemplary integration of the arts and STEMM. The project was also reviewed in the *LA Weekly* and *Hyperallergic*.

In 2020, Heffernan adapted the PPE Portrait Project for the COVID-19 pandemic and was named an "inspiring force" in Los Angeles art in 2020 by *Hyperallergic* senior editor Elisa Wouk Almino. Heffernan collaborated to roll out the project at Stanford University, UMASS Memorial Medical Center, and the ICU Bridge Program of Canada. She supported scores of hospitals in the US and worldwide in adopting PPE Portraits, including Azienda Usl di Piacenza, Italy. and St. Marianna University Hospital in Tokyo.

Heffernan is collaborating with researchers to establish PPE Portraits as best practice for patients whose healthcare workers are masked, publishing in the *Journal of General Internal Medicine* and the *Journal of Pain and Symptom Management*.

# Mary Beth Evans

**Mary Beth Evans** (born March 7, 1961) is an American television actress, known for her role as Kayla Brady on the NBC daytime soap *Days of Our Lives*, and her role as Sierra Estaban on the CBS daytime soap *As the World Turns*.

## Career

Evans is most famous for portraying Kayla Brady on the NBC soap opera *Days of Our Lives* from 1986 to 1992, 2006 to 2009, and 2010 to present. In the 1980s, her character became half of the supercouple Steve and Kayla, with Steve "Patch" Johnson played by Stephen Nichols. In regard to Steve and Kayla’s first wedding, which was one of the biggest in “Days’” history, Evans remarked, “I think it was number one? And that wedding was just so extravagant. It was outside, which was a big deal on a daytime show. It was beautiful.” Evans left the show in 1992 but returned (with Nichols) on June 12, 2006 after a fourteen-year absence. In 2009, Evans and Nichols were written off *Days of Our Lives*. Evans returned in 2010 and has appeared on a recurring basis every year since. In 2015, she was placed back on contract with the series.

Prior to her first stint on *Days of our Lives*, Evans portrayed Piper in the teen romantic comedy flick *Lovelines*. She has guest-starred in number of primetime television series, including Madame’s Place, *Father Murphy*, *Knight Rider*, *Masquerade*, *Remington Steele*, *Riptide*, *Murder, She Wrote*, *Law & Order: Special Victims Unit*, *Monk*, *Criminal Minds*, and *Body of Proof*.

Evans appeared on other daytime soap operas between her stints at *Days of Our Lives*. In September 1993, she began playing the villainous Katherine Bell on *General Hospital* (and later on *Port Charles*) until October 1999. Evans moved to New York City to play Sierra Estaban on *As the World Turns* from December 2000 to late 2005, later reprising the role from July 2010 until the show's finale on September 17, 2010. In 2005, *One Life to Live* almost signed her on contract for the role of Dr. Paige Miller, but Evans backed out at the last moment and the role was filled with Kimberlin Brown.

Since 2010, Evans has starred on the soap opera web series *The Bay* as Sara Garrett. As a producer for the series, she won a 2015 Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding New Approaches Drama Series. In 2016, Evans was nominated again as a producer, as well as in the category Outstanding Actress in a Digital Daytime Drama Series for portraying Sara. The same year, she was also nominated in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for *Days of Our Lives*. Evans won all three. She won two more Emmys in 2017 for *The Bay*, for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Digital Daytime Drama Series and as a producer for Outstanding Digital Daytime Drama Series.

In 2014 and 2015, Evans also appeared as Catherine Hendrie on the ABC Family drama series *Chasing Life*.

## Personal life

Evans was born in Pasadena, California and grew up in Orange County, California. She married cosmetic surgeon Michael Schwartz on November 3, 1985. They have three children, Daniel Luke (born 1987), Katherine Elizabeth (born 1990), and Matthew Joseph (born 1993).

# Mary Lasswell

**Mary Lasswell Smith** (February 8, 1905  July 19, 1994) was a Scottish-born American writer of humorous novels about life in Southern California, Texas, Mexico, and Newark, New Jersey under the name **Mary Lasswell**.

## Writing career

Her first book, *Suds in Your Eye* (1942) published by Houghton Mifflin, was described as "a crazy, funny story" about three impoverished but high-spirited and beer-loving elderly women. "The book was unlike most of the novels coming out of Southern California at the time", wrote Beatrice Sherman in *The New York Times Book Review* on December 13, 1942. This book was adapted into a Broadway Play by Jack Kirkland in 1944.

*Suds in Your Eye* was followed by five other books about the same three women: Mrs. Feeley, Mrs. Rasmussen, and Miss Tinkham, plus their handyman, only known as "Old-Timer," who never speaks. These included *High Time* (1944), *One on the House* (1949), *Wait for the Wagon* (1951), *Tooner Schooner* (1953), and *Let's Go for Broke* (1962), all with illustrations by famed *The New Yorker* artist George Price. Their home base for most of the series was called "Noah's Ark", and was a junkyard in San Diego, but the third and fourth books were set during travels. In the fifth book they moved away from Noah's Ark to an abandoned mansion eight miles from San Diego. These books consistently featured certain themes: the main characters faced financial disaster, usually were forced to take innovative measures to ensure a homeplace, rescued other people with problems, and acted as matchmakers.

Among Lasswell's other books were *Mrs. Rasmussen's Book of One-Arm Cookery* (1946), *I'll Take Texas* (1958), and *Tio Pepe* (1968). Lasswell was also an editorial writer for the *Houston Chronicle* in the 1960s.

Lasswell was born in Glasgow, Scotland, of American parents on February 8, 1905, and grew up in Brownsville, Texas. She was married to Dr. Dudley Winn Smith, a surgeon.

She died at the Solvang Lutheran Home in Solvang, California of Alzheimer's disease.

## Career

Claxton began his journalism career at *The Virgin Islands Daily News* as an intern in 1983 while majoring in economics and journalism at the University of the Virgin Islands. Two years later, he became the newspaper's seventh full-time reporter. He went on to hold senior investigative reporting positions at *The Chicago Tribune*, *The Detroit News*, and *The Tennessean*. He featured in a segment of Prime Time, the popular ABC-TV news magazine show.

### The "Virgin Islands Crime: Who's to Blame?" series

In December 1994, Claxton wrote a series of reports for *The Virgin Islands Daily News*. The reports resulted in a series titled "Virgin Island Crime: Who's to Blame?" and identified numerous issues: criminals getting guns easily, law-enforcement corruption and incompetence, inept criminal prosecutions, judges handing out light sentences and a flawed probation system. The reports revealed the extent of criminal infiltration into the territory of the criminal justice system. The publication of the series had a significant impact on the whole judicial system of the islands that a new police commissioner and attorney general were appointed and a narcotics official resigned. In 1995, the series was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service. The Pulitzer committee stated: "Awarded to The Virgin Islands Daily News, St. Thomas, for its disclosure of the links between the region's rampant crime rate and corruption in the local criminal justice system. The reporting, largely the work of Melvin Claxton, initiated political reforms."

# Temple B'nai Jeshurun (Demopolis, Alabama)

**Temple B'nai Jeshurun** is a former Jewish congregation and synagogue located in Demopolis, Alabama, in the United States. Established in 1858, making it the fourth oldest Jewish congregation in Alabama, it was active throughout the latter half of the 19th century and most of the 20th century.

The original temple was built in 1893. It was torn down after a new smaller building was built inside the older structure in 1958. The temple was inactive by the 1980s, with the title being transferred to a local church in 1989.

## History

The first Jewish settler to arrive in Demopolis was Isaac Marx in circa 1844. Originally from Bavaria, the businessman established what eventually became the Marx Banking Company. He encouraged other Jewish families living further east to relocate to the city. By the 1850s, the Jewish community ran many of the commercial enterprises in the city. In 1858 they formed the B'nai Jeshurun (children of righteousness) congregation. Initially the congregation met in homes and businesses. The congregation bought land for a cemetery on East Jefferson Street in 1878. By the 1890s the congregation was able to build a temple on the corner of Main and Monroe streets. It was dedicated on November 30, 1893, with Rabbi Edward Levy of Selma officiating. Isaac Marx, the oldest congregant in 1893, lit the eternal light. The new wooden-frame temple was built in a Moorish Revival style with a domed roof.

The congregation never had its own rabbi; the services were led by lay readers instead. The lay readers included Jacob Bley, George Bley, Jerome Levy, and Louis Mayer. The Jewish community played an active role in civic affairs, with three congregation members serving as mayors of Demopolis: Morris Ely (1903-1906), Isidore Bley (1910), and Bony Fields (1949-1952). The progenitor of the Rosenbush family, Julius Rosenbush, arrived in the city in 1894. He founded the Rosenbush Furniture Company, a locally prominent business for 108 years, until its closing in 2002.

The congregation joined the Union of American Hebrew Congregations in 1907. By 1905, Demopolis had a population of around 124 Jews. In 1929 it had increased to 150. By the late 1930s, as was happening in other small Southern towns, the Jewish population had started an exodus to larger cities, with only 90 people remaining. A new, smaller masonry temple was built inside the shell of the 1893 building in 1958. The old temple was demolished after the new one was completed. The Jewish population continued to decline, with only a handful of people remaining by the late 1980s. The deed to Temple B’nai Jeshurun was signed over to Trinity Episcopal Church for $10 in 1989. The church continues to care for the property in 2010, having donated the sanctuary artifacts to the Goldring / Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life|Museum of the Southern Jewish Experience in 2007. As of 2010, the last remaining former B’nai Jeshurun congregant was Bert Rosenbush, Jr, grandson of Julius Rosenbush. Bert Rosenbush, Jr. died on January 10, 2019, at the age of 89.

# Thomas Nicholas Burke

**Thomas Nicholas Burke** (8 September 1830 in Galway  2 July 1883 in Tallaght, Ireland) was an Irish Dominican preacher.

## Life

His parents, though in moderate circumstances, gave him a good education. He studied at first under the care of the Patrician Brothers, and was afterwards sent to a private school. An attack of typhoid fever when he was fourteen years old, and the famine year of 1847 had a sobering effect. Toward the end of that year he asked to be received into the Order of Preachers, and was sent to Perugia in Italy, to make his novitiate. On 29 December, he was clothed there in the habit of St. Dominic and received the name of Thomas.

Shortly afterward he was sent to Rome to begin his studies College of St. Thomas in Rome, the future Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, *Angelicum*. Burke was a student of philosophy and theology at the College of St. Thomas in 1848. He passed thence to the Roman convent of Santa Sabina. His superiors sent him, while yet a student, as novice-master to Woodchester, the novitiate of the resuscitated English Province. He was ordained priest on 26 March 1853. On 3 August 1854, defended publicly the *theses in universâ theologiâ*. Burke was made lector at the College of St. Thomas in 1854.

Early in the following year Father Burke was recalled to Ireland to found the novitiate of the Irish Province at Tallaght, near Dublin (St. Mary's Priory). In 1859 he preached his first notable sermon on "Church Music"; it immediately lifted him into fame.

Elected Prior of Tallaght in 1863, he went to Rome the following year as Rector of the Dominican Convent of San Clemente, and attracted great attention by his preaching. He returned to Ireland in 1867, and delivered his oration on Daniel O'Connell at Glasnevin before fifty thousand people. In Dublin he was assigned to St Saviour's Priory.

Bishop Leahy took him as his theologian to the First Vatican Council in 1870, and the following year he was sent as Visitor to the Dominican convents in America. He was besieged with invitations to preach and lecture. The seats were filled hours before he appeared, and his audiences overflowed the churches and halls in which he lectured. In New York, he delivered the discourses in refutation of the English historian James Froude.

In eighteen months he gave four hundred lectures, exclusive of sermons, the proceeds amounting to nearly $400,000. His mission was a triumph, but the triumph was dearly won, and when he arrived in Ireland on 7 March 1873, he was spent and broken.

During the next decade he preached in Ireland, England, and Scotland. He began the erection of the church in Tallaght in 1883, and the following May preached a series of sermons in the new Dominican church, London. In June he returned to Tallaght in a dying condition, and preached his last sermon in the Jesuit church, Dublin, in aid of the starving children of Donegal. A few days afterward he died.

He is buried in the church of Tallaght, now a memorial to him. There is a statue of Thomas Burke by John Francis Kavanagh at Claddagh Quay in Galway.

## Works

Many of his lectures and sermons were collected and published in various editions in New York, as were also the four lectures in reply to Froude (1872) the latter with the title "The Case of Ireland Stated".

# Tyler Weiman

**Tyler Ray Weiman** (born June 5, 1984) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He played one game in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the Colorado Avalanche.

## Playing career

Weiman was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. He was drafted 164th overall in the 2002 NHL Entry Draft by the Colorado Avalanche. He was drafted from the Tri-City Americans of the Western Hockey League and played for four years before leaving for the CHL where he won a Presidents Cup with the Colorado Eagles in 2005.

He made his professional debut in the 2005–06 season with Avalanche affiliate, the Lowell Lock Monsters of the AHL, and finished the season with the San Diego Gulls of the ECHL. In the 2006–07 season Tyler established himself as the starting keeper for the Albany River Rats.

Weiman started the 2007–08 season with the Colorado Avalanche after injury to José Théodore, and made his NHL debut on October 4, 2007, against the Nashville Predators in relief of starting goalie, Peter Budaj. He was then sent to new affiliate, the Lake Erie Monsters of the AHL, for the remainder of the season.

Weiman re-signed with the Avalanche to a one-year, two-way deal on July 14, 2008. He returned to Lake Erie for the 2008–09 season and performed strongly, appearing in the AHL All-Star game. He finished the season leading the AHL in shutouts (8) and leading the Monsters in wins (21).

In the 2009–10 season, Weiman was recalled from his starting position with the Monsters, to the Avalanche to briefly serve as Craig Anderson's backup when Peter Budaj was quarantined from the team after being diagnosed with the H1N1 virus on October 27, 2009. Weiman received his second call for the season after Anderson was injured in the December 2 game against the Florida Panthers late in overtime. He sat on the bench as Budaj's backup for four games.

On July 12, 2010, Weiman left the Avalanche and signed a one-year contract as a free agent with the Vancouver Canucks, and was later assigned to AHL affiliate, the Manitoba Moose, for the duration of the 2010–11 season.

On July 25, 2011, Weiman signed a one-year contract with European team, Augsburger Panther of the DEL. Weimen quickly established himself as one of the stand-out goalies in the German league, earning a two-year contract with the Nürnberg Ice Tigers of the DEL on March 28, 2012.

After two successful seasons with Thomas Sabo, Weiman opted to leave as a free agent and signed a one-year contract with DEL2 club, EV Landshut on July 11, 2014. After spending the following 2015–16 season in Italy with HC Pustertal Wölfe of the Serie A, Weiman continued his journeyman career in agreeing to a one-year deal with new Asia League entrant from South Korea, Daemyung Killer Whales on August 19, 2016.

## Personal

Weiman is a son-in-law of Simon Sochatsky, who is a former member of the Edmonton Investors Group (EIG), which owned the Edmonton Oilers.

# TyrT operon

The **tyrT operon** is a series of genes encoding the tRNA for tyrosine in *Escherichia coli*. It is activated in response to amino acid starvation.

## Components

The tyrT operon consists of an upstream activation sequence, the gene for the tyrosine tRNA called tRNA1Tyr, and an RNA called rtT RNA which has an unknown function.

## Regulation

Transcription of the tyrT operon is activated by the stringent response. Binding of the FIS protein to the operon's upstream activation sequence tightly bends the DNA, promoting transcription.

# Tzedek Chicago

**Tzedek Chicago** is a Progressive Jewish congregation and synagogue, located in Chicago, Illinois, in the United States. It is one of the first synagogues in the United States to officially declare itself anti-Zionist.

The congregation is led by Rabbi Brant Rosen. While some in-person events are held in venues around Chicago, most of the synagogue’s services and programs, including Friday Shabbat services, are held online as of 2024.

## History

Tzedek Chicago was founded in 2015 in Lincoln Square by the former Reconstructionist Rabbi Brant Rosen as a non-Zionist synagogue. The synagogue is dedicated to social justice, universalism, and anti-racism. Many members are Millennials who feel unrepresented elsewhere in the Jewish community.

The synagogue has around 300 members and 200 member families.

## Anti-Zionist advocacy

In March 2022, Tzedek Chicago shifted from non-Zionism to anti-Zionism by declaring anti-Zionism to be a "core value." Rabbi Rosen stated that "Jews have a moral precept of pursuing justice and standing in solidarity with the oppressed," naming anti-Zionism as part of that effort by standing in solidarity with Palestinians. 72% of Tzedek Chicago's membership agreed with the move to declare the congregation anti-Zionist, with the rest of the members choosing to accept the decision and remain part of the congregation. A small number of Jews joined the synagogue after the decision was made to become anti-Zionist. Outside of anti-Zionist Hasidic sects such as the Satmar and a handful of non-Zionist progressive synagogues, very few synagogues in the United States openly distance themselves from the Zionist movement.

While recognizing the importance of the Land of Israel to Jewish liturgy, tradition, and identity, the synagogue objects to the "fusing of Judaism with political nationalism," "openly acknowledging that the creation of an ethnic Jewish nation state in historic Palestine resulted in an injustice against its indigenous people – an injustice that continues to this day."

The decision to become anti-Zionist was highly controversial amongst pro-Israel activists, who have harshly criticized Tzedek on social media. Daniel Koren, director of the pro-Israel Hasbara Fellowships Canada, said, "I don't think they know what Judaism even is." Many pro-Israel Jewish groups in Chicago have shunned Tzedek. They are not listed on the directory of synagogues maintained by Chicago's Jewish United Fund, a historically Zionist organization. The Zionist Organization of America's Morton Klein and Elizabeth A. Berney claimed that Tzedek Chicago is "an offshoot of Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) that distorts and omits the essence of Judaism."

title: Type IXB submarine

abstract: The German Type IXB submarine was a sub-class of the German Type IX submarine built for Nazi Germany's Kriegsmarine between 1938 and 1940. The U-boats themselves were designed to be fairly large ocean-going submarines. The inspiration for the Type IXB submarine came from the earlier original Type IX submarine, the Type IXA submarine. The design of the IXA was developed to give an increased range, a change which resulted in a slightly heavier overall tonnage. This design was improved even further in the later Type IXC submarines. The class comprised 14 submarines, U-64, U-65, U-103, U-104, U-105, U-106, U-107, U-108, U-109, U-110, U-111, U-122, U-123, and U-124; thirteen were sunk during the war and the last scuttled by its crew at the end of the war. The Type IXB submarines were the most successful class of submarine in the war in terms of the total amount to tonnage sunk, with each U-boat sinking an average of over 100,000 gross register tons (GRT) during its career.

# Type IXB submarine

The **German Type IXB submarine** was a sub-class of the German Type IX submarine built for Nazi Germany's *Kriegsmarine* between 1938 and 1940. The U-boats themselves were designed to be fairly large ocean-going submarines. The inspiration for the Type IXB submarine came from the earlier original Type IX submarine, the Type IXA submarine. The design of the IXA was developed to give an increased range, a change which resulted in a slightly heavier overall tonnage. This design was improved even further in the later Type IXC submarines.

The class comprised 14 submarines, *U-64*, *U-65*, *U-103*, *U-104*, *U-105*, *U-106*, *U-107*, *U-108*, *U-109*, *U-110*, *U-111*, *U-122*, *U-123*, and *U-124*; thirteen were sunk during the war and the last scuttled by its crew at the end of the war. The Type IXB submarines were the most successful class of submarine in the war in terms of the total amount to tonnage sunk, with each U-boat sinking an average of over 100,000 gross register tons (GRT) during its career.

## Design and construction

### Construction

All Type IXB submarines were ordered by the Nazi Germany's *Kriegsmarine* between 16 July 1937 and 8 August 1939 as part of Plan Z and the overall German plan of re-armament in violation of the Treaty of Versailles. The design of the IXB submarines came from the initial Type IX submarines, the Type IXA. All contracts for the construction of the submarines were awarded to DeSchiMAG AG Weser, Bremen. The first U-boat to be laid down in the Bremen ship yards was *U-65*, whose keel was laid down on 6 December 1938. The last U-boat to be laid down was *U-111*, whose construction began on 20 February 1940. By the end of 1940, all Type IXB submarines had been fully constructed and commissioned into the *Kriegsmarine*.

### Design

All Type IXB submarines had 1,000 PS (986 shp; 735 kW) while submerged and 4,400 PS (4,340 shp; 3,236 kW) when surfaced. As a result, they could travel at 18.2 knots (33.7 km/h; 20.9 mph) while surfaced and 7.3 knots (13.5 km/h; 8.4 mph) submerged. The Type IXB submarines had a range of 12,000 nmi (22,000 km; 14,000 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph) while on the surface and 64 nmi (119 km; 74 mi) at 4 knots (7.4 km/h; 4.6 mph) while submerged. They had 6 torpedo tubes (4 in the bow, 2 in the stern) and carried a total of 22 53.3 cm (21 in) torpedoes. Unlike the earlier Type IXAs, the Type IXB submarines were equipped with 44 TMA mines as well. The Type IXB submarines were equipped with a 10.5 cm SK C/32 naval gun with 180 rounds on a *Utof* mount. The last piece of armament that the Type IXB submarines were equipped with were the standard 2 cm (0.79 in) anti-aircraft guns. All Type IXB submarines could hold up to 56 crew members at any given time though that number was usually around 45–48 crew members. After being commissioned and deployed, all of the Type IXB submarines built prior to the fall of France were stationed in the German port city of Wilhelmshaven while those who were commissioned following the capture of numerous French ports during the Battle of France were stationed in Lorient.

## List of Type IXB U-boats

# UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Bader

***UFC on Fox: Johnson vs. Bader*** (also known as ***UFC on Fox 18***) was a mixed martial arts event held on January 30, 2016, at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.

## Background

The event was headlined by a potential UFC Light Heavyweight Championship title eliminator bout between Anthony Johnson and The Ultimate Fighter: Team Nogueira vs. Team Mir winner Ryan Bader.

A welterweight bout between former Strikeforce Welterweight Champion Tarec Saffiedine and Jake Ellenberger was originally booked as the main event of UFC Fight Night: Saffiedine vs. Lim on January 4, 2014 and later as part of UFC 172 on April 26, 2014. However, the bout was cancelled both times due to Ellenberger having a hamstring injury and Saffiedine pulling out due to an undisclosed injury, respectively. The fight was later rescheduled for this event.

Joaquim Silva was expected to face Olivier Aubin-Mercier at this event. However, on December 23, Silva was forced to pull out due to injury and was replaced by Carlos Diego Ferreira.

Andrew Holbrook was expected to face Sage Northcutt in a lightweight bout at this event. However, on January 22, Holbrook was pulled out of the fight due to injury and was replaced by Bryan Barberena. The bout took place at welterweight.

On March 11, it was announced that Felipe Olivieri was notified of a potential anti-doping policy violation due to a positive test for methyltestosterone stemming from an out-of-competition sample in Brazil, before the event. Oliveiri stated he never used any illegal substance, and will ask for the B-sample to be tested.

Sasagawa was elevated to town status on August 1, 1907. The area rapidly developed with the coming of the Narita Line railway and the development of the Kashima Industrial Complex in neighboring Ibaraki Prefecture after World War II. The town of Tōnoshō was created on July 20, 1955 through the merger of Sasagawa with Tachibana, Jindai and Tōjō villages.

# USS Haraden (DD-183)

The first **USS *Haraden* (DD–183)** was a *Wickes*-class destroyer in the United States Navy in the period following World War I. She was later transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy as **HMCS *Columbia***, as a Town-class destroyer.

## Construction and career

### United States Navy

Named for Jonathan Haraden, she was launched by Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia on 4 July 1918; sponsored by Miss Mabel B. Stephens, great-niece of Captain Jonathan Haraden. *Haraden* was commissioned at Norfolk Navy Yard on 7 June 1919.

*Haraden* was assigned to U.S. Naval Forces in European Waters; after calling at Newport, Rhode Island for supplies she departed New York 30 June 1919 for duty in the Adriatic Sea. She arrived at Split, (then Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, now Croatia), on 28 July 1919 and conducted operations from that port assisting the naval force in the execution of the terms of the Austrian armistice, serving as station ship at Trieste and Rijeka, and participating in maneuvers. This duty occupied her until 23 October 1919, when she departed for Norfolk, Virginia, arriving on 18 November.

The destroyer departed Norfolk on 7 April 1920 for Charleston, South Carolina, and operated with reserve destroyer divisions out of Charleston until 15 March 1921. After an extensive overhaul at New York, ending on 2 May, *Haraden* sailed for Newport and training operations off New England. She returned to Charleston on 12 October 1921 and to Philadelphia on 10 April 1922. *Haraden* decommissioned 17 July 1922.

With the mounting tensions in 1939, *Haraden* was called back to active service and recommissioned at Philadelphia 4 December 1939. After shakedown training at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the destroyer performed neutrality patrol in Cuban waters briefly and then returned to Newport, 6 March 1940. She subsequently conducted neutrality patrol in waters off Block Island and Nantucket Shoals, and made three training cruises in Chesapeake Bay.

Arriving Boston Navy Yard 7 September 1940, *Haraden* was one of the fifty over-age destroyers to be sent to the United Kingdom in exchange for bases. She sailed on 18 September for Halifax, Nova Scotia, and decommissioned there for transfer to the British on 24 September 1940. Her name was struck from the Navy List 8 January 1941.

### Royal Canadian Navy

Assigned to Canada and renamed **HMCS *Columbia*** following the Canadian practice of naming destroyers after Canadian rivers (but with deference to the U.S. origin), after the Columbia River originating in British Columbia and flowing into Washington and thence along the Oregon border. *Columbia* first underwent refit and then was assigned to convoy duties in the Atlantic. Her first major action began 15 October 1941 when she joined convoy SC 48, already under submarine attack. *Columbia*, and the other escorts fought valiantly, but nine merchantmen from the convoy were sunk before reaching England. After the U.S.'s entry into the war *Columbia* was reassigned to convoy ships from New York to St. John's, Newfoundland, the first leg of the transatlantic journey. She escorted convoys and performed anti-submarine patrol until 25 February 1944, when she struck a cliff in foul weather off the coast of Newfoundland. *Columbia* was not fully repaired after the accident but made watertight and used as a fuel and ammunition hulk in Nova Scotia until her return to the War Assets Administration for disposal in August 1945 when she was sold for scrapping.

title: UK Immigration Service

abstract:
The United Kingdom Immigration Service was the operational arm of the Home Office, Immigration and Nationality Directorate. The UK Immigration Service was, until its disbandment in 2007, responsible for the day-to-day operation of front line UK Border Controls at 57 ports "designated" under the Immigration Act 1971 including airports, seaports, the UK land-border with Ireland and the Channel Tunnel juxtaposed controls. Its in-country enforcement arm was responsible for the detection and removal of immigration offenders such as illegal entrants, illegal workers and overstayers as well as prosecutions for associated offences. On its disbandment, Immigration Service staff were re-deployed within the short lived Border and Immigration Agency which was replaced by the UK Border Agency which, in turn, was replaced by three separate entities: UK Visas and Immigration, Border Force and Immigration Enforcement, overseen by the Home Office. The enabling Act which provided the basis of immigration control was the Aliens Act 1905 and it was followed by the Aliens Restriction Acts of 1914 and 1919. The powers exercised by Immigration Service officers were/are largely based on the Immigration Act 1971 that came into force on 1 January 1973 and its associated rules. Other subsequent legislation includes:
  - British Nationality Act 1981, which came into force on 1 January 1983,
  - Immigration Act 1988,
  - Asylum and Immigration Appeals Act 1993,
  - Asylum and Immigration Act 1996,
  - Immigration and Asylum Act 1999,
  - Immigration Order, 2000,
  - Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002,
  - Asylum and Immigration Act 2004,
  - Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006,
  - UK Borders Act 2007. For the earlier part of its history the Immigration Service's work was dominated by control of passengers at seaports and the control of crews. By the 1920s, The Immigration Service was divided into districts under the charge of an Inspector. The Immigration Officers' grade was confined to men aged over 25. Those under 25 were automatically classified as Assistant Immigration Officers. Immigration Officers enjoyed an annual salary of between £200-300 and controlled passengers and seamen at ports throughout the United Kingdom. This included Ireland until the creation of the Irish Free State in 1922 and, even after this, UK immigration officers controlled Irish ports until 1925 while the new administration made its own arrangements. By the late 1950s, the numbers of arriving passengers at airports overtook that of seaports for the first time and the distribution of staff began to reflect this. Immigration control at airports gradually changed from the late 1990s onward as a new emphasis was given to controlling passengers in visa issuing posts abroad. During the 2000s new technologies opened up opportunities to create a new "flexible" border control that better focussed its resources on high risk passengers. There were little or no IS resources dedicated to dealing with in-country immigration offenders before 1973 and the detection of potential deportees was seen as a matter for the police. The enforcement arm developed slowly in the 1980s and 1990s but, in the 2000s, underwent a transformation in terms of its remit, training and powers and, by 2006, removed more in-country offenders than were refused entry at UK ports for the first time. In 2007 IS Ports Directorate became a uniformed service for the first time. IS Enforcement Directorate was disbanded and its operational resources were divided among new regional "Local Immigration Teams". In April 2007 staff were informed that the UK Immigration Service would henceforth cease to exist as a distinct body, and would be replaced by the UK Border Agency.

## Organisation, culture and working practices

### Organisational structure

UK Immigration Service grades are/were reflective of the legislation that stipulates that the decision to refuse a person leave to enter the United Kingdom is taken by an Immigration Officer only with the authority of a Chief Immigration Officer or an HM Immigration Inspector. The decision that a person inside the UK is in breach of immigration law and liable for administrative removal or deportation can be taken by an Immigration Officer or a caseworker of Executive Officer grade or above acting on behalf of the Secretary of State, with the authority of a Chief Immigration Officer or Higher Executive Officer. The removal of such offenders may only be enforced with the authority of an HM Inspector or Senior Executive Officer. Immigration Officers also have the power to deal with immigration offenders under the criminal proceedings part of the Immigration Act 1971 and prosecute through the Criminal Justice System.

Assistant Immigration Officers' were common in the early days of the service but were dispensed with when the age bar on becoming an Immigration Officer was abolished, (date uncertain but probably before WW2). The grade of Assistant Immigration Officer was revived in 1991 but the role was initially badly defined and the scope of their work subject to ongoing dispute with the unions representing the Immigration Service grades, the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), and Immigration Service Union (ISU).

In 2017 immigration to the UK from outside the EEA is based primarily on the five tier system High-Value Migrant Tier 1 Visas, Skilled Worker Tier 2 Visas, Student & Tier 4 Visas and Temporary Worker Tier 5 Visas with applications being reviewed by an Immigration Officer.

### Working practice

#### Ports of Entry working practice

The working environment for the Immigration Service differed greatly dependent on whether the work was performed at a port of entry, or in an after-entry environment within the community. All staff were, and are, governed by the overarching laws found within the various Immigration and Nationality Acts but the everyday application of the law at ports of entry is made through the application of the Immigration Rules – these are published rules that explain how the law is to be interpreted and applied.

It is the interpretation of the rules that make immigration law so controversial. The practicalities of assessing large numbers of people arriving at ports mean that a great deal of discretion is given to the immigration officer, (although less now than was once the case). While the officer must obtain the approval of a Chief Immigration Officer or Inspector to refuse someone entry the way in which interviews are conducted and recorded are based on a lower level of proof than those in other areas of law enforcement. The immigration rules for visitors say that the immigration officer must be "satisfied" that the person is a genuine visitor not intending to stay longer than the rules allow and is not intending to seek employment. The idea that a relatively low ranking officer merely has to satisfy himself or herself as to the person intentions rather than prove an offence, as is the case in criminal matters, is a long-standing cause of legal and legislative tension. The level of proof is effectively a balance of probabilities rather than that of an overwhelming case being proven against the arriving passenger. In practice the immigration officer is required to conduct an in-depth interview, seek corroborative evidence from other sources and present a compelling case to a Chief Immigration Officer before refusing the person. The work of a port based immigration officer is to sift arriving passengers to detect those whose accounts of their intentions give some cause for concern. The officer will briefly interview all arriving people who are not British Citizens or EU nationals, check their document for alterations or forgery, verify any entry clearances held, assess their travel history against the stamps in their passport, check them against warnings lists and do all of this, usually, in less than two minutes. If the officer is satisfied they will stamp the passport with one of a variety of wordings, (conditions), depending on the reason for the persons stay and apply a time limit according to pre-set criteria. The pressure on port immigration officers is to do this quickly so as to satisfy various targets concerning waiting times. There has never been a quota or target for detecting and refusing inadmissible passengers – the performance standards for immigration officers at ports have always revolved around the quality of interviewing, decision making and their investigative qualities.

title: USS Dreadnought

abstract: USS Dreadnought (SP-584), later USS SP-584, was a United States Navy patrol vessel in commission from 1917 to 1919. Dreadnought was built as a private fast "runabout" motorboat of the same name by R. Bigelow at Monument Beach, Massachusetts, in either 1916 or 1917. On 17 May 1917, the U.S. Navy acquired her from her owner, Eldon B. Keith of Brockton, Massachusetts, for use as a section patrol boat during World War I. She was commissioned as USS Dreadnought (SP-584) on 20 October 1917. Assigned to the 5th Naval District, Dreadnought carried out patrol duties there for the rest of World War I. In 1918, she was renamed USS SP-584. SP-584 was returned to her owner on 6 June 1919. Dreadnought should not be confused with the tug USS Dreadnaught (ID-1951), later AT-34, which was in commission at the same time.
