#OTD in 1861 – The American Civil War began; 150,000 Irishmen would serve with the Union forces, and 40,000 with the Confederacy.
The American Civil War began, a war that would not only pit American against American but also Irish against Irish. An estimated 150,000 Irish fought on the Union side while about 40,000 fought for the confederacy. While the majority fought with the Union, many Irish had a strong antipathy to a northern culture which they perceived as anti-Catholic and Protestant dominated. The most famous Irish…

The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday agreed to review a decision that revived a long-running lawsuit by the Navajo Nation, which claims that the U.S. Interior Department has a duty to develop plans to provide the reservation with an adequate water supply. The high court granted two petitions for certiorari – one by the federal government, one by Arizona and other states -- challenging last year’s decision by a three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The 9th Circuit said “an irreversible and dramatically important trust duty” was implied by 175 years’ worth of treaties and court decisions. The challengers, however, say implied rights are unenforceable. “The federal treaties with the Navajo Nation…do not address water at all,” and the doctrine of implied water rights “cannot justify imposing such a fiduciary duty,” lead counsel Rita Pearson Maguire argued in the states’ cert petition. The Interior Department, represented by Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, added that the 9th Circuit’s approach would replace national policy decisions with “a regime of general judicial oversight of the United States’ relationship with Indian tribes.” The Navajo Nation, represented by Shay Dvoretzky of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, defended the 9th Circuit’s decision and urged the high court to deny certiorari. The Interior Department declined to comment on Friday. Maguire and Dvoretzky did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The Navajo Nation filed suit in 2003. It wants the Interior Department to determine whether the Little Colorado River, which runs through the reservation, is sufficient “to fulfill the Reservation’s purpose of establishing a permanent homeland for the Nation” – a standard known as Winters rights, from a 1908 U.S. Supreme Court decision. If not, the Nation says the government must develop a plan to supply water from other sources. A federal judge in Prescott, Arizona,

This week 175 years ago, back in 1848, the Irish flag was first unveiled and hoisted on the Mall in Waterford, Ireland.
Created by Thomas Francis Meagher a skilled orator and statesman who later went on to become the first acting governor of Montana.
Often represented as green, white and gold the Irish flag is in fact green, white and orange - in Meagher's own words: "The white in the centre signifies a lasting truce between the 'Orange' and the 'Green', and I trust that beneath its folds the hands of the Irish Protestant and the Irish Catholic may be clasped in generous and heroic brotherhood."
The 7th of March 2023 marks 175 years since the Irish flag was first flown.

April 24, 2023: Rep Zooey Zephyr, Montana State Democratic Representative who just happens to be a Transgender Woman has been Forbidden from Participating in Debates by republican-confederate maga loyalist for 3 Days in a row
This is not simply R-CML talking over Her or ignoring Her
The R-CML Voted for a 3rd Time to Continue Subjecting Zephyr to a Gag Order, Denying Her the chance To Speak.
But
This time Her Supporters were there and They Started Chanting “Let Her Speak!” from the Gallery.
It's important to note Her Supporters Who Were There, Were the PEOPLE of Montana who just Elected Her to Represent Them, Not Only in D.C., but also In Montana.
The republican-confederate maga loyalist Led House Denied PEOPLE OF MONTANA THEIR VOICE!!!
One CBS reporter wrote the PEOPLE'S Voices Were "Forcing legislative leaders [R-CML] to pause proceedings and clear the room."
But
Were the PEOPLE the cause, or was it a Group of FASCIST Silencing the Voices of PEOPLE Who Disagree With Them?
The PEOPLE Came to the House Peacefully, to Hear Their Representative Speak on Matters Important to Them.
The Democratic Way, Would've Been to Hear the Voice of the PEOPLE, Not to Send Armed Law Enforcement to Force The PEOPLE Out and Silence Their Voices
But
The R-CML Did Send Armed Law Enforcement To the Gallery Above the House Floor to Force Out PEOPLE Standing and Chanting "LET HER SPEAK"
Seven, 7 PEOPLE Who Disagreed With the R-CML were Arrested for Criminal Trespass, Criminal Trespass For Chanting.
Sheriff Leo C. Dutton said. The PEOPLE Arrested were going to be booked and released.
Before the House Session began there was a Peaceful Rally to Show Support for Rep Zooey Zephyr
The Capital Statue behind Her Supporter is Interesting to me, because it's depicting Union Brigadier General Thomas Francis Meagher, an Irish Immigrant who was a Famous Revolutionary in Ireland and a Loyal United States Citizen During The Civil War.
January 1847: Meagher, John Mitchel, William Smith O'Brien, and Thomas Devin Reilly formed The Irish Confederation.
The Irish Confederation was for a National Parliament with Full Legislative and Executive Powers. The Founding was based on Principles of Freedom, Tolerance and Truth
Their goal was Independence for the Irish Nation from Britain and they held to any means to achieve that which were consistent with Honor, Morality and Reason.
July 1848: After a failed Rebellion that end The Irish Confederation Meagher Escaped, Came to the U.S. and Became a U.S. Citizen
His Reason Given for Loyalty to the United States During the Civil War...
"It is not only our duty to America, but also to Ireland. We Could Not Hope to Succeed in our effort To Make Ireland a Republic Without the Moral and Material Support of the Liberty-Loving Citizens Of These United States."
Meagher had supported the South, but disagreed over the issue of slavery.
The republican-confederate maga loyalist seem to have Nothing I Common With Thomas Francis Meagher
`1/
"Montana transgender lawmaker silenced again, backers protest"
"Montana transgender lawmaker silenced for third day; protesters interrupt House proceedings"
"Thomas Francis Meagher"
"Union Brigadier General/Politician Thomas Francis Meagher"

New N.B. law allows supported decision-making for intellectually disabled residents
Dianne Cormier Northrup has helped her son and daughter, who both have intellectual and physical disabilities, communicate their key life decisions for years. Soon, her support role in that process will have a legal foundation.
New Brunswick's lieutenant-governor gave assent Friday to the province's Supported Decision-Making and Representation Act, which will allow people with intellectual disabilities to appoint those who will assist in important choices they make.
In a news release, Inclusion New Brunswick said the province "has become one of the few jurisdictions in the world" to implement a court-recognized, supported decision-making process.
The new system will allow for a person with intellectual disabilities -- who may have difficulty understanding and conveying information -- to make decisions using the assistance of others who are appointed by the person or the courts. The Attorney General's office still has to provide details on how the new Bill will be administered.
Sitting with her children, Rob and Lynn Chamberlain, who have a neurological condition called autosomal familial spastic quadraplegia, Cormier Northrup -- who is 75 -- says the legislation gives her a sense of security that she and others can give voice to the siblings' personal and financial choices.
"All of us are happy about the law because supported decision making is how we've always been doing it anyway. Now it's for real, and we can use it," she said during a zoom interview from Robert and Lynn's home in Bathurst, N.B.
During the zoom call, Robert, 55, and Lynn, 52, who cannot speak, vigorously nod their heads to show they agree with the legal changes.
Robert confirms with a slight movement of his head that at times it is hard to have others understand his decisions, and then nods vigorously and makes a sound similar to "Yes," when asked if he likes to have his mother assist others in understanding.
He also smiles and nods in affirmation when asked if his mother is "a good talker," and the family shares a laugh.
When Lynn wants to add a point, she sometimes vocalizes sounds that suggests to her mother that there's further information her daughter wants to get across.
During the interview, she indicated to her mother she wanted to make clear there are others in her support-decision making circle. The mother confirms, with Lynn nodding, that her aunts, Jeannine Duguay and Marie Meagher, along with her cousin Laurie Jean, will be among those authorized to assist in making decisions.
Inclusion Canada spokesman Marc Muschler says there are elements of supported decision making in other jurisdictions across Canada, but the New Brunswick law is more comprehensive in that it allows for a broader group of people to make use of decision making supports.
He said it also provides a two-track process for the appointment of decision making supporters: one for people who can appoint their own supporters, and one that allows for someone to apply to the courts to become an "decision-making supporter."
Danny Soucy, a community planning advisor with Inclusion New Brunswick, says his son Daniel Soucy, 31, communicates through gestures and body language that he understands due to all of their years together.
"He can express his desires and we can translate his wishes," said the father during a phone interview from his home in Grand Falls, N.B.
Soucy said under the old law, if there was a significant decision to be made and Daniel couldn't directly convey his wishes to a health provider or bank, "we would have had to have him declared incompetent to make a decision for him."
"With this new law we'll be able to help and interpret what he wants and have the right decision for him made," he said.
The Bill says a person is capable of making decisions if they're able to understand information "relevant" to the decision, and appreciate the "reasonably foreseeable consequences" of a decision, "with the assistance that is available."
"A person is presumed to have the capacity to make a decision, unless the contrary is demonstrated," it reads.
Soucy does not see himself as an active decision-maker for his son, who has Down's Syndrome. Rather, he says he tries to "provide my son with the right information, allowing him to ask questions."
"As a supporter you're not making decisions, you're helping people make decisions for themselves," he said.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 18, 2022.

Archer Aviation: Transformative Contracts Elevate Defense Capabilities
Archer's Midnight Aircraft - A Paradigm Shift in Military Aviation
Archer Aviation Inc., a leading innovator in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft, has announced a significant expansion of its partnership with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
The company has secured new contracts with the U.S. Air Force valued at up to $142 million, signifying the military's acknowledgment of the transformative potential of Archer's groundbreaking eVTOL technology for the nation's Armed Forces.
This new phase of the partnership will entail the delivery of up to six Midnight aircraft to the Air Force, sharing critical flight test data and certification-related reports, pilot training, and the development of maintenance and repair operations. Archer's cutting-edge capabilities are poised to bolster the national defense of the United States.
The Road to Transformative Collaboration
Archer Aviation has been collaborating with the DoD since 2021, engaging in various projects through the U.S. Air Force's AFWERX program. The partnership aims to assess the transformative potential of the vertical flight market and eVTOL technologies for DoD purposes under the AFWERX Agility Prime program.
With Archer recently completing the manufacturing of its first Midnight aircraft, the DoD recognizes its immense potential in military aviation and operations.
The Midnight aircraft, equipped with vertical takeoff and landing capabilities, a target payload of approximately 1,000 lbs, a proprietary electric powertrain system, and a low noise profile, holds promise in enhancing rapid response, agility, and operational effectiveness across diverse mission profiles.
Archer's Midnight Aircraft - A Revolution in Military Aviation
Archer's Midnight aircraft are poised to revolutionize military aviation. Their versatility spans from personnel transport and logistics support to rescue operations, offering a much safer and quieter alternative to traditional helicopters.
Additionally, these eVTOL aircraft are more cost-effective for the U.S. military to transport, operate, and maintain in the field.
With a focus on transport, logistics, and rescue operations, Archer's Founder and CEO, Adam Goldstein, expressed excitement about integrating Midnight into the Air Force's operational fleet, emphasizing the importance of cutting-edge technology in advancing the country's defense capabilities.
Shaping the Future of Aerospace
Colonel Tom Meagher, the lead for AFWERX Agility Prime programs, emphasized the significance of eVTOL aircraft as they represent the cusp of the third revolution in aerospace. These aircraft, along with their future descendants, are set to drive advances in capabilities and efficiency.
The contracts with Archer Aviation offer the U.S. Department of Defense and U.S. Air Force a unique opportunity to lead the world in developing and deploying emerging aerospace technology, ensuring that the U.S. remains at the forefront of technological innovation.
Visionary Leadership and Dedication to Innovation
Retired 4-Star General and Archer Government Services Advisory Board Member, Steve Townsend, praised the historic agreement and its potential impact on the capabilities of the Armed Forces.
He commended the visionary leadership at the DoD that led to the contract and Archer's dedication to pushing the boundaries of aviation technology.
The partnership between Archer and the U.S. government is expected to unlock numerous benefits that eVTOL aircraft offer the U.S. military.
Archer's Government Services Advisory Board
Following this announcement, Archer Aviation unveiled the formation of its Government Services Advisory Board. The board's mission is to facilitate Archer's engagement with the U.S. government and public safety agencies to explore opportunities for commercializing eVTOL aircraft.
The esteemed board members, including retired military leaders, are actively assisting and facilitating Archer's direct engagement with relevant government agencies and officials to accelerate the consideration and implementation of Archer's eVTOL aircraft and related technologies.
Looking Ahead - Innovation and Collaboration
As Archer Aviation's eVTOL aircraft continue to pave the way for transformative possibilities, it is clear that the development and commercialization of such technologies remain a national priority.
The ongoing collaboration between Archer and the U.S. Department of Defense signifies a shared commitment to advancing aerospace technology and reinforcing the United States' position at the forefront of innovation.
Forward-looking Statements and Archer's Mission
In light of these developments, Archer acknowledges the potential risks and uncertainties associated with forward-looking statements regarding its future business plans and market opportunities.
However, the company's mission remains steadfast – to unlock the skies and reimagine how people move and spend time. Archer's dedication to electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for urban air mobility networks reflects a commitment to shaping a brighter future for aviation.
About Archer Aviation
Headquartered in Santa Clara, CA, Archer Aviation is at the forefront of designing and developing electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft for urban air mobility networks.
About Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)

Cork Lifelong Learning Festival | Mayfield Library
The Cork Lifelong Learning Festival was back with a bang this year with over 300 amazing events with approximately one third of these being hosted by your local library service!
Today we take a brief look at a number of the events organised by Mayfield library for this years festival.
“Rebels, Writers & Merchants” was a heritage walk conducted from Mayfield Library by Brendan Goggin for the Lifelong Learning Festival on Saturday, April 1st. Brendan led 50 local history aficionados along a trail encompassing Ashburton, Gardiner’s Hill, Ardnalaoi and finishing up at the Montenotte Hotel. Along the way listeners were enthralled by the exploits of local Republicans a hundred years ago, the life and times of Daniel Corkery and the pioneering ideas of John Holland on submarine engineering.
In the modern Ardnalaoi housing estate they saw the incorporated high walls of what was once the estate of the Quaker merchant family, the Carrolls. The walk finished up at the Montenotte Hotel which very generously provided tea and pastries to assist in continuing historical discussion and aid the recovery of tired legs. It was here Thomas Francis Meagher, Waterford, would visit the residence of his young Murphy friends (the distilling family) and, replete with revolutionary ideas from Paris 1848, outline his design for the tricolour that eventually became our national flag.
The Mayfield Lifelong Learning Expo returned this year and was held at the Mayfield Sports Complex on Wednesday, March 29th. The event was officially opened by Lord Mayor Deirdre Forde, who wished all the day’s participants continued success. EXPO 2023 showcased the activities run by the Mayfield Learning Neighbourhood and a whole host of social, community, educational and service providers in the area. All came together on the day to organise and promote learning and lifelong participation in learning. Mayfield Library’s stand was tended in rotation by branch staff and experienced a high level of engagement with local schools, local organisations and the general public.
Staff were kept busy throughout the day explaining library services and how they can be accessed. Combining on-the-spot tutoring and support literature, the public learned about downloadable book borrowing (BorrowBox), digital magazine access (Libby), languages and hobbies (Universal Class) as well as the more traditional library materials and activities available within the branch. Particularly fascinating to some was learning that Ireland’s public libraries are now linked up and taking membership with one allows use of all.
