March 17, 461: Thought to be the day Saint Patrick died in Saul. Irish people celebrate it as St Patrick’s Day. Many people who have no connection with Ireland whatsoever also use it as an excuse to celebrate.



Ronald Reagan's St. Patrick's Day joke from 1987: "It's an honor and a pleasure for me to be here with you sharing the spirit and the festivities of St. Patrick's Day. The blessed St. Patrick we are told died on this day, in the year of our Lord 461. And leave it to the Irish to be carrying on a wake for 1500 years."

This is an S-3B Viking assigned to the "Shamrocks" of Sea Control Squadron Four One (VS-41) preparing for launch aboard USS Nimitz (CVN 68) in 2006.


VS-41 was commissioned June 30, 1960, receiving its first Viking Feb 20, 1974. Since then, the training squadron has logged more than 347,000 flight hours, made more than 48,000 carrier landings, and has trained more than 35,000 personnel.  The VS-41 "Shamrocks" officially decommission on Sept 30, 2006.

March 17, 1951: Dennis the Menace appeared for the first time in the British children’s comic The Beano No. 452. The creation of Dennis proved hugely popular. On 14 September 1974, Dennis the Menace replaced Biffo the Bear on the front cover of The Beano and has been there ever since.

It all began in Dundee, where the Beano's publisher DC Thomson & Co is still based. The idea emerged - the Beano's history reveals, external - when the comic's editor George Moonie heard a music hall song with the chorus "I'm Dennis the Menace from Venice" and ordered a character to fit the name.

According to Scotsman writer Stephen McGinty, external, the eureka moment arrived in a St Andrews pub while chief sub Ian Chisholm and artist Davey Law were brainstorming. Chisholm grabbed a cigarette packet, sketched a picture of "a knobbly-kneed boy with dark spiky hair" and a comic strip legend was born.

MARCH 17, 1958: "THE RITE OF SPACE that is performed day & night at the Air Force Missile Test Center at Cape Canaveral, the point from which the first U.S. man-possibly the first man in the world-will journey to the moon & beyond."





March 17, 1959: USS Skate (SSN-578) became the first submarine to surface at the North Pole and the first production-class of nuclear submarines.


Shortly after surfacing, Skate's crew conducted a memorial ceremony to spread the ashes of Australian polar explorer Sir George Hubert Wilkins at the North Pole.


"Burst of Joy" is a Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph by Associated Press photographer Slava "Sal" Veder, taken on March 17, 1973, at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield, California, showing a former USAF POW, Lt Col Robert Stirm, reuniting with his family.


On October 27, 1967, Stirm was shot down over Hanoi while leading a flight of F-105s on a bombing mission, and was not released until March 14, 1973. For part of his imprisonment he shared a cell with future politician John McCain.

Lorrie later recounted in 2003: "We were in a car behind the aircraft on the tarmac, and then they said, 'You can get out now.' So we just burst out of the car and started running to my dad. . . We were very excited." Lorrie's exuberant reaction earned her moniker "The Jumper" or "The Leaper".

"The first time he ever laughed in jail was a joke that John McCain had tapped through the wall."



However, the joy didn't last for Robert Stirm. Three days before he arrived in the USA, the same day he was released from captivity, Stirm received a Dear John letter from his wife Loretta informing him that their marriage was over. Stirm later learned that Loretta had been with other men throughout his captivity and had received marriage proposals from three of them. In 1974, the Stirms divorced and Loretta remarried, but he was still ordered to provide her with 43% of his military retirement pay once he retired from the Air Force, although the divorce judge stated that much evidence was presented to the court of Loretta's infidelity while Stirm was a prisoner. Stirm was later promoted to colonel and retired from the Air Force in 1977. Loretta died on August 13, 2010, from cancer.


March 17, 1999: Rod Hull died at 63. He always appeared with Emu, a mute and highly aggressive arm-length puppet. Hull moved to Australia in 1956 and his first job in television was as a lighting technician with TCN Channel 9 in Sydney. Hull returned to the UK in 1971 and signed with International Artists.



Hull died in a tragic accident while trying to adjust the TV aerial on the roof of his bungalow, then slipping and falling to his death.
Note: keep BIAD off the roof.

Because that's the next stage of the pandemic psy-op.

When to Consider BSL-2+ Containment

It is important to remember that BSL-2+ is not recognized as a containment level by CDC’s BMBL guideline or the National Institutes of Health’s Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant or Synthetic Nucleic Acid Molecules guidance document. No specialized facilities are required for BSL-2+, nor is there a requirement to include BSL-3 facility elements in a biosafety level 2 space. This voluntary designation is only used for materials and procedures that can safely be worked with in a BSL-2 lab space, but where researchers wish to add supplemental safety measures.

That said, BMBL does acknowledge the need for “enhanced practices, procedures, and facilities” in certain circumstances, and the NIH’s Biosafety Considerations for Research with Lentiviral Vectors mentions “enhanced BL2 containment”. Because there is no standardized list of microorganisms, viral vectors, or research projects that researchers can rely on as guidance for when to implement a BSL-2+ environment, each decision to use BSL-3 practices in a biosafety level 2 must be made via a risk assessment process.

Biosafety Level 2+ (BSL-2+): What Every Lab Supervisor Needs to Know

Sounds like cover-your-ass bureaucratic jargon in the event something leaks out of a BSL-2 lab and they (those at the top) need a scape goat.


He bids his Beloved be at Peace

I hear the Shadowy Horses, their long manes a-shake,
Their hoofs heavy with tumult, their eyes glimmering white;
The North unfolds above them clinging, creeping night,
The East her hidden joy before the morning break,
The West weeps in pale dew and sighs passing away,
The South is pouring down roses of crimson fire:
O vanity of Sleep, Hope, Dream, endless Desire,
The Horses of Disaster plunge in the heavy clay:
Beloved, let your eyes half close, and your heart beat
Over my heart, and your hair fall over my breast,
Drowning love's lonely hour in deep twilight of rest,
And hiding their tossing manes and their tumultuous feet.

— William Butler Yeats
