D'oh! 🤦🏼

From Wikipedia:

"Approaching the mouth of the river from the northeast, the pilot issued three orders for port rudder to align the vessel with the channel's centerline. Satisfied with the approach, the pilot then intended to order hard starboard to enter the channel. Instead, the pilot accidentally ordered the ship hard port. While the order was corrected only seconds later, the vessel could not alter course in time..."

30 Years Later: Remembering the Julie N oil spill in Casco Bay

by Max Williams, WGMEWed, September 23, 2026

PORTLAND (WGME) — "It was a beautiful fall day on Casco Bay 30 years ago, but the scene quickly turned dark when an oil tanker slammed into Portland’s Million-Dollar Bridge.

"The Julie N, carrying more than 8 million gallons of oil, struck the bridge on Sept. 27, 1996, spilling more than 179,000 gallons into Casco Bay and the Fore River in what became the largest oil spill in Portland’s history."

I Love Israel: Israeli Researchers Develop Aerogel Capable of Capturing and Breaking Down Oil Spills

A major breakthrough happened in Israel where researchers of Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) developed aerogel that is capable of capturing and breaking down oil spills, according to a feature article by The Jerusalem Post. This breakthrough could improve Israel’s way of protecting the natural environment and solving problems caused by oil spills.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the article of The Jerusalem Post. Some parts in boldface.

Oil spills occur regularly around the world, but large, catastrophic disasters are much less common than small, everyday leaks.

Thousands of minor spills happen every year during routine tasks like refueling ships, pipeline leaks, or equipment failures on land. In the 1970s, there were between 70 and 100 large tanker spills annually. Fortunately, major marine spills from tanker accidents have dropped by more than 90% since the 1970s, with fewer than 10% per year.

Spills actually occur more frequently on land near storage tanks, industrial sites, and pipelines, but these get more attention because they spread fast and harm fragile ocean and coastal habitats.

Nature is also responsible – the single largest source of oil entering the oceans isn’t human error at all; it is natural seepage from rocks on the seafloor, accounting for about 40% to 50% of all oceanic oil.

Israelis probably remember February 2021, when its most severe and prominent modern disaster – a massive undisclosed spill (estimated at dozens to hundreds of tons of crude oil) sent heavy black tar washing ashore. It contaminated roughly 160 kilometers of Israel’s 195-km. coastline, from Rosh Hanikra to Ashkelon, severely harming marine wildlife like sea turtles and birds. They recall seeing masses of seabirds covered in tar and dying as a result of the environmental catastrophe.

But now, researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Beersheba are the first to develop a technology that captures and biologically breaks down oil pollution, treating crude oil and fuel pollution in marine and aquatic environments – a promising approach to both immediate containment and long-term environmental recovery.

The BGU technology is aimed at both the immediate capture of hydrocarbons and their longer-term degradation. Lab experiments showed that the material can adsorb approximately 80 to 100 times its own mass in crude oil, fuel, tar, and other hydrocarbons.

It was developed in the university’s Environmental Biotechnology Laboratory, led by Prof. Ariel Kushmaro and Dr. Danit Lisa Karsagi Biron of BGU’s Faculty of Engineering.

They created a porous aerogel made from cellulose fibers – that could be created from used egg cartons, old newspapers, and other paper materials – enriched with nitrogen and phosphorus. These nutrients support oil-degrading bacteria, making it possible for the material not only to capture pollutants but also to speed their subsequent biological breakdown.

The research team said they developed the aerogel using nutrient enrichment, freeze-drying, and pyrolysis (the thermal decomposition of organic materials at high temperatures – typically 300°C to 900°C) in the absence of oxygen, which prevents combustion.

Kushmaro told The Jerusalem Post in an interview that the aerogel provides a surface on which the bacteria can attach, bringing them into close contact with both the adsorbed hydrocarbons and the nutrients they require. In this way, the system creates conditions that support the microbial breakdown of the captured pollutants.

The process can even minimize the need to remove and dispose of contaminated adsorption material after treatment. The technology is currently undergoing patent recognition through BGN Technologies, BGU’s technology commercialization company.

To all my readers, I encourage you to thank the Lord for this scientific breakthrough achieved by Israeli researchers. Even though it has been attacked militarily and through misinformation campaigns by its enemies, Israel continues to be a world leader on technology and economics. Indeed, God has a plan for Israel to be the guiding light for the world. The aerogel developed by Israel’s researchers will pave the way to protecting the natural environment better and help affected communities recover faster from oil spills. Soon enough, other nations will want to have Israel’s breakthrough for the same reasons. It is just a matter of time.

At the same time, I encourage you all to realize the truth that Israel is the land God designated specifically for the Jewish people (read Genesis 35:10-12) and His command must be followed without hesitation. If you want to be blessed further by the Lord, do so by loving and blessing the Jewish people (Genesis 12:1-3). I did my part when I was in Israel. Also, let me remind you all that the ties between the Jews and Christians are truly biblical!

I encourage you all to pray to the Lord God in support of Israel, to love and bless the Jewish people, and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

If you truly believe in Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit and God the Heavenly Father wholeheartedly and you continue to be faithful, you should be aware that Christians are meant to stand united with Israel and love the Jewish people no matter what. You can do your part supporting Israel by donating to Christians United for Israel (CUFI). Do not forget to read the Holy Bible, then pray in tongues to the Lord in the privacy of your room with the door shut.

Always be the fearless and aggressive church of Lord Jesus!

Here's a taste of what I have in MY archives...

"In the months leading up to the #BP #OilSpill, Mr. Rich was also a legislative affairs consultant for another firm called 'Kissel E & S Associates.' When I happened to google 'Kissel E&S Associates, Clinton', one of the front page results led to a University of Nebraska paper, and written during #HillaryClinton 's tenure as Secretary of State. This paper is titled 'Conflicts in the Licensing Process for #TransCanada's #KeystoneXL Pipeline.' The Keystone XL Pipeline is one of the MANY positions on which Hillary Clinton has flip-flopped on. Could Mr. Rich have dissented with some very powerful oil company interests who were looking to negotiate a backroom deal with the #DNC."

Burning Oil Spills With Fire Whirls

Though they are relatively infrequent, large marine oil spills, like 2010’s Deepwater Horizon, are devastating and incredibly difficult to clean up. In many locations, the “best” option for responding to such disasters is burning off the oil before it can absorb enough water to sink. But these floating fires leave behind unburned oil and produce soot. To enhance the burn, researchers are looking at the possibility of triggering large-scale fire whirls.

Often seen in wildfires, these fire vortices are intense and localized. Researchers made a more than 5-meter tall version in these experiments by arranging three walls that spun up the in-flowing air. The fire whirl sat above a pool of water topped in a layer of oil that served as the whirl’s fuel.

Within the whirl, the fire’s burn rate was 40% higher than a typical pool fire, and soot production was 40% lower–showing that fire whirls can burn cleaner. But the whirls are more finicky to start and maintain. It’s not yet clear whether such intense whirls are possible in the chaotic conditions on the ocean. (Research and image credit: W. Cui et al.; via Eos)
