Admiral of the Fleet David Richard Beatty, 1st Earl Beatty GCB, OM, GCVO, DSO, PC (17 January 1871 – 11 March 1936) was a Royal Navy officer. After serving in the Mahdist War and then the response to the Boxer Rebellion, he commanded the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron at the Battle of Jutland in 1916, a tactically indecisive engagement after which his aggressive approach was contrasted with the caution of his commander Admiral Sir John Jellicoe. He is remembered for his comment at Jutland that "There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today", after two of his ships exploded. Later in the war he succeeded Jellicoe as Commander in Chief of the Grand Fleet, in which capacity he received the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet at the end of the War. He then served a lengthy term as First Sea Lord in which capacity he was involved in negotiating the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 in which it was agreed that the USA, Britain and Japan should set their navies in a ratio of 5:5:3, with France and Italy maintaining smaller fleets.
Family and childhood[edit]
Beatty was born at Howbeck Lodge in the parish of Stapeley, near Nantwich, Cheshire, on 17 January 1871.[1] He was the second son of five children born to Captain David Longfield Beatty and Katherine (or Katrine) Edith Beatty (née Sadleir), both from Ireland: David Longfield had been an officer in the Fourth Hussars where he formed a relationship with Katrine, the wife of another officer.[2]
Katrine had fair hair and blue eyes, soft wide lips, and overall an air of command. Beatty's father was 6 ft 4 in (1.93 m) tall, dark haired with big hands and feet. Both David and his elder brother Charles were short, about 5 ft 5 in (1.65 m) with small hands and feet. Charles was fair haired taking after his mother's features, whereas David had more the look of his father. After the affair between David Longfield and Katrine became known, David Longfield's father (Beatty's grandfather), David Vandeleur Beatty (1815–1881), arranged for his son to be posted to India in the hope that the scandalous relationship might end. David Longfield resigned from the regiment on 21 November 1865, with the honorary rank of Captain. He took up residence with Katrine in Cheshire and in 1869 sold his commission.[3] David Longfield was unable to marry Katrine until Katrine had obtained a divorce on 21 February 1871, after the birth of their first two sons. Beatty's birth certificate recorded his mother's surname as Beatty, and his parents' eventual marriage at St Michael's Church in Liverpool was kept secret.[4]
Beatty's early education concentrated on horsemanship, hunting and learning to be a gentleman. Beatty had a close relationship with his elder brother Charles, who became his ally against their oppressive and overbearing father. They remained close throughout life, so much so that the only time Beatty felt despair was at his brother's death. Beatty later wrote to his wife about Charles, we lived together, played together, rode together, fought together.[5] His brothers would later join the British Army, but early on young David developed an interest in ships and the sea and expressed a desire to join the Royal Navy. In 1881 Beatty's grandfather died and David Longfield succeeded to the 18th century mansion, 'Borodale', outside Enniscorthy, in County Wexford. After retiring from the army David Longfield established a business training horses first in Cheshire and then at 'The Mount', near Rugby. On inheriting and following the death of his wife at 'The Mount', David Longfield returned to Ireland abandoning the training business.[6]
Beatty was educated at Kilkenny College and in 1882 entered Burney's Naval Academy at Gosport, which was a 'crammer' for boys wishing to take the entrance examinations for the Royal Navy.[7]
Early career[edit]
Beatty joined the Royal Navy as a cadet passing into the training ship HMS Britannia tenth out of ninety-nine candidates in January 1884.[8] During his two years at Britannia, moored at Dartmouth, he was beaten three times for various infractions. He passed out of Britannia eighteenth out of the thirty-three remaining cadets at the end of 1885.[8] Beatty's letters home made no complaint about the poor living conditions in Britannia, and generally he was extrovert, even aggressive, and resented discipline. However, he understood how far he could transgress without serious consequences, and this approach continued throughout his career.[9]
Beatty was given orders to join the China Station in January 1886, but the posting did not appeal to his mother, who wrote to Lord Charles Beresford, then a senior naval officer, member of parliament and personal friend, to use his influence to obtain something better.[10] Beatty was, in February 1886, instead appointed to HMS Alexandra, flagship of Admiral the Duke of Edinburgh, Queen Victoria's second son, who was Commander-in-Chief of the Mediterranean Squadron.[11] This proved an excellent social opening for Beatty, who established a longstanding relationship with the Duke's eldest daughter, Marie, and with other members of the court. Alexandra was a three-masted sailing ship with auxiliary steam power, and despite remaining flagship was already outdated in a navy which was steadily transitioning from sail to steam. Life in the Mediterranean fleet was considerably easier than cadet life, with visits to friendly ports all around the Mediterranean, but Beatty was concerned to work diligently towards naval examinations, which would determine seniority and future promotion prospects.[12] Beatty was promoted to midshipman on 15 May 1886[2] and assigned to assist lieutenant Stanley Colville on watchkeeping duties: Colville was to play an important part in Beatty's future career.[13]
Beatty left HMS Alexandra in March 1889 and joined the cruiser HMS Warspite in July 1889 for manoeuvres before joining the sailing corvette HMS Ruby in September 1889, in which he was promoted to sub-lieutenant on 14 May 1890.[14] Next he attended courses at the Royal Naval College, Greenwich during which he was somewhat distracted from his naval career by the delights of London. Beatty scored a first-class examination pass in Torpedoes, but only seconds in Seamanship, Gunnery and Pilotage, and a third in Navigation. A biography states that "his cabin at Greenwich was full of photographs of actresses, some of which were signed in the most endearing terms".[15] After attending the gunnery school, HMS Excellent, he undertook a posting to a torpedo boat in July 1891 and then a tour in HMS Nile from 19 January 1892.[2]
Beatty joined the Royal Yacht Victoria and Albert in July 1892 while Queen Victoria was holidaying in the Mediterranean: Victoria was in mourning for her grandson, Albert Duke of Clarence, who had died January 1892.[16] Promoted to lieutenant on 25 August 1892,[17] he rejoined HMS Ruby in August 1892 and then transferred to the battleship HMS Camperdown in September 1893 (which had only recently been involved in the fleet accident where she had rammed and sank the battleship HMS Victoria).[2] He transferred to the battleship HMS Trafalgar in September 1895.[2]
Sudan Campaign[edit]
Beatty gained recognition during the Mahdist War for his actions in the campaign to recapture the Sudan. Stanley Colville was placed in command of the gunboats attached to the British expeditionary force in Egypt and as Beatty's former commander in HMS Trafalgar and superior in HMS Alexandra he requested that Beatty join him. Control of the river Nile was considered vitally important for any expedition into Egypt and the Sudan. Beatty was seconded to the Egyptian government on 3 June 1896 and appointed second in command of the river flotilla.[2] Colville was wounded during the operation, leaving Beatty in command of the gunboats for the successful attack on Dongola.[2] The campaign halted at Dongola to regroup and Beatty returned to Britain on leave. He was commended by Kitchener for his part in the campaign and as a result was awarded the Distinguished Service Order.[18]
Beatty was again seconded to the Egyptian government for the next phase of the campaign. This was now at Lord Kitchener's specific request, for the Khartoum expedition. Beatty first commanded the gunboat El Teb but this was capsized attempting to ascend the Fourth Cataract.[2] Beatty then took command of gunboat Fateh between October 1897 and August 1898:[2] the gunboats were frequently in action advancing along the Nile ahead of the army and saw action at the Battle of Omdurman, where Beatty made the acquaintance of Winston Churchill who had become a cavalry officer in Beatty's father's old regiment, the 4th Hussars, and had there learnt his family history. In a few hours 10,000 Dervishes were killed by rifle and machine gun fire without any of them getting within 600 yards of the British force.[19] This battle marked the effective end of resistance to the expeditionary force, but the gunboats were called into service to transport troops to Fashoda, 400 miles (640 km) south along the White Nile, where a small force of French troops had made a difficult land crossing and staked a claim to the area. Despite the ensuing crisis, the French were persuaded to withdraw without incident.[20][21] Kitchener commended Beatty for his efforts in the campaign[22] and as a result Beatty was promoted to commander, ahead of 400 other lieutenants,[20] on 15 November 1898.[23]
Boxer Rebellion[edit]
Beatty was appointed executive officer of the small battleship HMS Barfleur, flagship of the China Station, on 20 April 1899.[20] The first year of his tour of duty was uneventful, but unrest against foreigners was growing in China. The Boxer movement was a secret Chinese peasant society committed to resisting oppression both from foreigners and from the Chinese government. The Empress Dowager Tzu-his partly encouraged the Boxer's opposition to foreigners in an attempt to turn their attention away from herself. The name was derived from ritual exercises supposed to make their users immune to bullets, which resembled boxing.[24]
In the summer of 1900 the rebellion reached Peking, where the German legation was attacked and foreign nationals withdrew to the relative safety of the Legation Quarter. Government troops joined forces with the rebels and the railway to the Treaty Port of Tientsin was interrupted. Admiral Sir Edward Seymour, then the Commander-in-Chief of the China Station, sent reinforcements to Peking, but they were insufficient to defend the Legation. An attempt was therefore made to send more troops from Tientsin, where British ships had been joined by French, German, Russian, Austrian, Italian and Japanese. The international naval brigade force of naval marines placed itself under the senior officer present, which was Seymour. After an urgent call for help from the Legation, Seymour set out on 10 June 1900 with 2,000 troops to attempt to break through to Peking in the Seymour Expedition. The force got about half way before abandoning the attempt because the railway line had been torn up. By now rebels had begun destroying the track behind the force, cutting it off from Tientsin.[25]
On 11 June 1900, Beatty and 150 men from HMS Barfleur landed as part of a force of 2,400 defending Tientsin from 15,000 Chinese troops plus Boxers. On 16 June 1900 the Taku forts were bombarded and captured to ensure ships could still reach the port. Fierce fighting broke out throughout the foreign areas and railway station, and Beatty was injured.[20] He later took part in the successful relief of the naval brigade and was promoted to captain on 8 November 1900.[26] Beatty returned to Britain, where he required an operation to restore proper use of his left arm.[27]
Beatty had returned from leave after the Sudan campaign, but finding life in Ireland at the family home not to his taste, stayed instead with his brother at Newmarket[disambiguation needed]. The location allowed him good hunting, and access to aristocratic houses where his recent heroic reputation from the campaign made him an honoured guest. Out hunting one day he chanced to meet Ethel Tree, daughter of Chicago department store founder Marshall Field. Beatty was immediately taken with her, for her good looks and her ability to hunt. The immediate difficulty with the match was that Ethel was married already to Arthur Tree, with a son, Ronald Tree.[28]
After the Boxer Campaign, the couple had at first exchanged letters, which Beatty signed 'Jack', as Ethel was still a married woman and discretion was advised. Ethel became involved with another man and the exchange of letters ceased but on Beatty's return she sent him a telegram and letter inviting him to resume their friendship. Beatty did not respond until after surgery on his arm in September 1900 when he wrote, I landed from China with my heart full of rage, and swore I did not care if I ever saw you again, or if I were killed or not. And now I have arrived with the firm determination not to see you at all in my own mind... Unfortunately I shall go on loving you to the bitter end... To me always a Queen, if not always mine, Good-bye.[29]
Despite this estrangement, the couple again met foxhunting and resumed a discreet relationship. Marshall Field was at first unimpressed by the impecunious Beatty as a future son-in-law, but was persuaded by his heroic reputation, impressive record of promotion and future prospects. There was the possibility that Field might revoke the settlement he had made on his daughter at the time of her first marriage and the new couple would have no means of support. Beatty's father was also unhappy about the match, fearing a repeat of the difficulties he had faced with his own relationship with a married woman, but with the added risk of publicity because both Beatty and Ethel were famous and the risk that Beatty's illegitimacy might be exposed. Beatty went so far as to consult a fortune teller, Mrs. Roberts, who predicted a fine outcome to the match. Ethel wrote to Arthur, telling him that it was her firm intention never to live with him again as his wife, though not naming any particular person or reason. Arthur agreed to cooperate, and filed for divorce in America on the grounds of desertion, which was granted 9 May 1901. Beatty and Ethel married on 22 May 1901 at the registry office, St. George's, Hanover Square, London with no family attending. Although Arthur Tree was himself from a wealthy American family, he now had to adjust to reduced circumstances without Ethel's support. He elected to remain in Britain and their son Ronald remained with him. Ronald and his mother were never reconciled from his perception that she had deserted his father, but he visited in later life and became friendly with Beatty. Ronald later became a member of parliament and, during World War II became a link between the British and United States governments, lending his country house, Ditchley Park near Oxford, to Winston Churchill for weekend visits when the official residences were considered unsafe. Beatty and Ethel set up home at Hanover Lodge in Regent's Park, London.[30]
The couple had two sons, David Field Beatty, 2nd Earl Beatty (1905–1972) born at the Capua Palace in Malta, and the Hon. Peter Randolph Louis Beatty (1910–1949). His marriage to a very wealthy heiress allowed Beatty an independence that most other officers lacked. She is reputed to have commented after he was threatened with disciplinary action following the straining of his ship's engines, "What? Court-martial my David? I'll buy them a new ship."[31]
In May 1902 he was passed fit for sea duty and was appointed captain of the cruiser HMS Juno in June,[20] spending two months in exercises with the Channel Fleet under Admiral Sir Arthur Wilson before joining the Mediterranean Fleet.[20] Beatty worked hard to raise efficiency so that she was highly rated in gunnery and other competitions by the time he left the ship 19 December 1902. Ethel decided not to be left behind so rented the Capua Palace on Malta, home port of the Mediterranean Fleet, where she became part of the island's high society.[32]
Beatty took command of the cruiser HMS Arrogant in the Mediterranean Fleet in November 1903 and then commanded the cruiser HMS Suffolk in the Mediterranean Fleet from October 1904.[20] He then became the naval advisor to the Army Council in 1906 and, after having been appointing a naval Aide-de-Camp to the King on 5 November 1908,[33] he became captain of the battleship HMS Queen in the Atlantic Fleet in December 1908.[20] He was promoted to rear-admiral on 1 January 1910[34] by a special order in council since he had not completed the requisite time as a captain.[35] He was offered the post of second-in-command of the Atlantic Fleet, but declined it and asked for one in the Home Fleet.[20] As the Atlantic Fleet post was a major command, the Admiralty were very unimpressed and his attitude nearly ruined his career.[20] Beatty, as a rapidly promoted war hero, with no financial worries and with a degree of support in Royal circles, felt more confident than most naval officers in standing firm on requesting a posting nearer home. He was approaching two years on half pay (which would trigger automatic retirement from the navy) when on 8 January 1912 his career was saved by the new First Lord of the Admiralty, Winston Churchill.[36] Churchill had met Beatty when Beatty was commander of a gunboat on the Nile supporting the army at the Battle of Omdurman, in which Churchill took part as a cavalry officer. A "probably apocryphal"[37] story relates that as Beatty walked into Churchill's office at the Admiralty, Churchill looked him over and said, "You seem very young to be an Admiral." Unfazed, Beatty replied, "And you seem very young to be First Lord." Churchill – who was himself only thirty-eight years old in 1912 – took to him immediately and he was appointed Private Naval Secretary to the First Lord against the advice of First Sea Lord Sir Arthur Wilson.[38]
Beatty became Rear-Admiral Commanding the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron on 1 March 1913.[39] Beatty was late taking up his new post, choosing not to cut short a holiday in Monte Carlo. On his eventual arrival, he set about drafting standing orders regarding how the squadron was to operate. He noted, "Captains...to be successful must possess, in a marked degree, initiative, resource, determination, and no fear of accepting responsibility". He went on "...as a rule instructions will be of a very general character so as to avoid interfering with the judgement and initiative of captains...The admiral will rely on captains to use all the information at their disposal to grasp the situation quickly and anticipate his wishes, using their own discretion as to how to act in unforeseen circumstances..." The approach outlined by Beatty contradicted the views of many within the navy, who felt that ships should always be closely controlled by their commanding admiral, and harked back to reforms attempted by Admiral George Tryon. It is argued that Tryon had attempted to introduce greater independence and initiative amongst his captains, which he believed would be essential in the confusion of a real war situation, but had ironically been killed in an accident caused by captains rigorously obeying incorrect but precise orders issued by Tryon himself.[40]
Beatty chose Lieutenant Ralph Seymour as his flag lieutenant, despite Seymour being unknown to him. Seymour had aristocratic connections, which may have appealed to Beatty since he sought connections in society, but it was also the case that Seymour's sister was a longstanding close friend of Churchill's wife. Appointments by influence were common in the navy at this time, but the significance of Beatty's choice lay in Seymour's relative inexperience as a signals officer, which later resulted in difficulties in battle.[41]
World War I[edit]
On the eve of the First World War in 1914, Beatty was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath[42] and promoted to acting vice-admiral a month later. He was confirmed in the rank of vice-admiral on 9 August 1915.[43] He led the 1st Battlecruiser Squadron at the actions at Heligoland Bight (1914), Dogger Bank (1915) and Jutland (1916).[44]

Jutland proved to be decisive in Beatty's career, despite the loss of two of his battlecruisers. Beatty is reported to have remarked (to his Flag Captain, Ernle Chatfield, later First Sea Lord in the early 1930s), "there seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships today," after two of them had exploded within half an hour during the battle.[44] In any case Beatty's actions succeeded in drawing the German High Seas Fleet into action against the British Grand Fleet.[44]
Beatty succeeded Admiral John Jellicoe as commander-in-chief of the Grand Fleet and received promotion to the acting rank of admiral in December 1916.[44] With his dashing style, he was the antithesis of his predecessor.[44] Beatty's marriage was failing disastrously at the time, and the result was to be a decade-long love affair between Beatty and Eugénie Godfrey-Faussett, wife of Captain Bryan Godfrey-Faussett.[45] Under Beatty's command the Grand Fleet maintained its dominance of the North Sea until the end of the War.[44]
Beatty escorted the German High Seas Fleet to internment at Scapa Flow in November 1918 giving the order from his flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth that "the German Flag will be hauled down at sunset and will not be raised again without permission".[44] This was not a lawful order, as the fleet remained the property of the German Government having been interned rather than having surrendered, but nevertheless Beatty enforced it.[46]
First Sea Lord[edit]
Beatty was promoted to full admiral on 1 January 1919[47] and to Admiral of the Fleet on 1 May 1919.[48] He was created 1st Earl Beatty, Viscount Borodale and Baron Beatty of the North Sea and Brooksby on 18 October 1919.[49] He became First Sea Lord on 1 November 1919.[46] In this capacity he was involved in negotiating the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 in which it was agreed that the USA, Britain and Japan should set their navies in a ratio of 5:5:3, with France and Italy maintaining smaller fleets.[50]
During the First Labour Government of 1924, with Japan increasingly hostile to the UK, Beatty lobbied the Clynes Committee for construction of the Singapore Naval Base to continue. Beatty wrote out, but did not send, a threat of resignation. The government were trying to cut back on the numbers of cruisers constructed; the other Sea Lords attributed the building of the Kent class to Beatty's lobbying, but government desire to alleviate shipyard unemployment was probably a more important factor.[51]
Despite further rumours that he would resign, Beatty remained in office when the Conservatives took power in the autumn of 1924.[52] Supported by the First Lord of the Admiralty William Bridgeman, he clashed with the new Chancellor of the Exchequer, Winston Churchill, once again over the number of cruisers required by the Royal Navy. At this stage of his career Churchill was opposed to what he saw as excessive defence spending. This may seem odd in light of his previous and subsequent reputation, but in the 1920s no major war seemed to be on the horizon.[53][54] Beatty also at this time pressed hard for the return of responsibility for naval aviation from the newly formed Royal Air Force to the Royal Navy.[46]
In 1926 Beatty was considered for the post of Governor General of Canada but was rejected by the Colonial Secretary Leo Amery as he had "no manners and an impossible American wife".[55]
By the time of his retirement from the Royal Navy in July 1927[56] a great deal of time was being spent preparing for the Coolidge Conference in Geneva, although Beatty did not himself attend as he had to remain in London to supervise the deployment of naval and marine forces against nationalist unrest in China and Egypt. On his last day in office (30 July) he attended a Cabinet at which Bridgeman reported the breakdown of the Geneva Conference as the Americans refused to accept any gun smaller than 8-inch for their cruisers, and after leaving office he congratulated Bridgeman that the Americans had not been able to achieve "command of the sea at any cost".[57] Beatty was appointed a member of the Privy Council on 25 July 1927.[58] Stephen Roskill wrote that whilst Beatty and his disciple Chatfield deserve some praise for the Royal Navy's comparative readiness in 1939, his main achievement was to maintain the morale of the Navy at a time of serious defence cuts, and that without his strong leadership the Royal Navy might have suffered events like the Invergordon Mutiny of 1931.[59]
Retirement and Death[edit]
Beatty spent much of his life (when not at sea) in Leicestershire, and lived at Brooksby Hall and Dingley Hall. Beatty's old commander Admiral John Jellicoe died on the 19th November 1935.[60] Already suffering from heart failure, and sick with influenza, Beatty defied doctors' orders and left his bed to act as a pallbearer, saying, "What will the Navy say if I fail to attend Jellicoe's funeral?" He was so obviously ill that, as the funeral procession passed up Fleet Street, a bystander sent a glass of brandy out to him. He also insisted on attending the funeral of King George V in January 1936. These acts hastened his own death.[61]
Beatty died at around 1am on 12 March 1936.[62][63][64]
At Beatty's funeral his coffin was draped in the Union Flag flown by his flagship HMS Queen Elizabeth in 1919. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Cosmo Lang, said "In him something of the spirit of Nelson seemed to have come back". The Prime Minister, Stanley Baldwin, called in the House of Commons for a public memorial to Beatty to be erected, but no action was taken until after the Second World War, when busts of Beatty and Jellicoe were unveiled in Trafalgar Square on 21 October (Trafalgar Day) 1948.[62]
Beatty had requested in his will that he would like to be buried next to his wife Ethel at Dingley: however he was actually buried at St Paul's Cathedral and therefore the double grave at Dingley Church only contains his wife's body.[65]
A number of serious errors have been identified in Beatty's handling of his squadron at the Battle of Jutland. These included failing to engage the German battlecruiser squadron with all his ships, thus throwing away a two to one numerical superiority and instead fighting one-to-one. Beatty was given command of the 5th Battle Squadron to replace a squadron of battlecruisers away for training. These were four of the most powerful ships in the world, but he positioned them so far away from his six battlecruisers that they were unable to take part in most of the engagement with Admiral Hipper's squadron of five battlecruisers.[66] Beatty did not take advantage of the time available to him between sighting the enemy and the start of fighting to position his battlecruisers to most effectively attack the enemy. At the point the German ships opened fire with accurately determined ranges for their guns, Beatty's ships were still maneuvering, some could not see the enemy because of their own smoke, and hardly any had the opportunity of a period of steady course as they approached to properly determine target range. As a result the German ships had a significant advantage in early hits, with obvious benefit. During this time he also lost the potential advantage of the larger guns on his ships: they could commence firing at a longer range than the German ships.[67] He did not ensure that signals sent to his ships were handled properly and received by the intended ships. Lost signals added to the confusion and lost opportunities during the battle. This issue had already arisen in previous battles, where the same signals officer had been involved, but no changes had been made.[68] Although Beatty was supposed as a fast armoured scout and report to Jellicoe the exact position of the German ships he encountered, or to keep in contact with the German fleet while he retreated to the main British Grand Fleet, he failed to do so. This information was important to Jellicoe to know how best to position the main fleet to make the most of its eventual engagement with the German High Seas Fleet. Despite this, Jellicoe succeeded in positioning his ships to good advantage, relying on other closer cruisers for final knowledge of the German's position, but necessitating last-minute decisions.[69] Additionally, the gunnery of Beatty's ships was generally poor compared to the rest of the fleet. This was partly a consequence of his ships being stationed at Rosyth, rather than Scapa Flow with the main fleet, since local facilities at Rosyth were limited, but this was a problem identified months before Jutland which Beatty had failed to correct.[70]
After the war a report of the battle was prepared by the Admiralty under First Sea Lord Rosslyn Wemyss. Before the report was published, Beatty was himself appointed First Sea Lord, and immediately requested amendments to the report. When the authors refused to comply, he ordered it to be destroyed and instead had prepared an alternative report, which proved highly critical of Jellicoe. Considerable argument broke out as a result, with significant numbers of servicemen disputing the published version, including Admiral Reginald Bacon, who wrote his own book about the battle, criticising the version sponsored by Beatty and highly critical of Beatty's own part in the battle.[71]
Besides actively encouraging the publication of books and articles designed to praise his role at the Battle of Jutland and denigrate Jellicoe's, after his retirement Beatty assisted with the preparation of a 5,200 line poem "The Epic of Jutland" by Shane Leslie.[72]

In the afternoon [of 1 June 1916] Beatty came into the Lion's chart-house. Tired and depressed, he sat down on the settee, and settling himself in a corner he closed his eyes. Unable to hide his disappointment at the result of the battle, he repeated in a weary voice, 'There is something wrong with our ships', then opening his eyes and looking at the writer, he added, 'And something wrong with our system'. Having thus unburdened himself he fell asleep.

At 4.25, soon after we had resumed our position ahead of the Princess Royal, the third ship in the line, the Queen Mary (Captain Prowse) blew up exactly as had the Indefatigable. I was standing beside Sir David Beatty and we both turned round in time to see the unpleasant spectacle. The thought of my friends in her flashed through my mind; I thought also how lucky we had evidently been in the Lion. Beatty turned to me and said, "There seems to be something wrong with our bloody ships to-day," a remark which needed neither comment nor answer.

are essentially at parity. Fifty percent of the bachelor's degrees in those fields currently are being awarded to women. In the physical sciences women's participation is lagging, but has more than doubled in the 25-year period. Nineteen percent of bachelor's degrees in physics are awarded to women as are 18 percent of undergraduate engineering degrees.
There has been a steady increase in the number of women completing Ph.D.s in all of the sciences. In biological sciences, women now earn over 40 percent of doctorates, and in chemistry a remarkable 33 percent of doctorates are awarded to women; that is a three-fold increase in 25 years. In the physical sciences, 12 percent of doctoral degrees are awarded to women and in engineering there has been a five-fold increase, from an unbelievable 2 percent in 1975 up to 11 percent in 2001.
In addition, women are entering the faculty in increasing numbers. The number of women in science faculty has been increasing at every rank. However, one of the chronic problems in women's distribution across ranks in academia is that women are most dominant in the instructor/lecturer position. At most institutions these tend to be non-tenure track positions with the least job security. Some of the differences between assistant, associate, and full professors can be explained by pipeline issues. Although the pipeline is increasingly becoming a problematic excuse for the small number of women in the full professor ranks and cannot be used as excuse anymore. There is clearly leakage as one moves up the professional ranks to full professor.
One could celebrate these numbers. One could say that these numbers are telling us that it is simply a matter of time. That if we gather together in another 10 years, we will see further progress and eventually women will be full and equal participants in science, engineering, and mathematics. That we are on a good track; let us just keep going. That there need not be any additional attention paid to this issue; this is a time-dependent phenomenon.
This argument cannot be supported. In fact, there are a number of indicators that suggest that unless we continue to focus on this issue we are at risk not of just stalling out, but of actually falling back. Here are some of the indicators that give me pause.
In 1999, women full professors were concentrated in non-research intensive academic institutions. In 2-year institutions (these are community and junior colleges), 42 percent of full professors were women. In liberal arts colleges (these are colleges without a graduate school), 23 percent of full professors were women. In the research-intensive university, 17 percent of full professors were women. Women Ph.D.s are not distributed evenly across different kinds of academic institutions; rather, they

marie b and doris d. thanks for commenting about the facebook issue. sorry i havent been online, iam busy these days, i get back to ye all during the next few days ok, cheers diana
What a lovely quilt, each block a work of art. Congratulations to you and your guild.
no it was machine quilted by Cheryl Winslow, absolutely the most stunning quilting I've ever seen. I get her to quilt most of my quilts, I just hand over the top and backing, and say "do your magic". The only part I worked on was the sashing, and getting the committee organized. It took a year to design and make it. We got our most talented applique masters to do the blocks, they are all hand done, needle turn appliques, all botanically correct, original drawings by one of our members who's a retired Biology teacher and artist. It appraised at almost $3,000. one of the judges yesterday she'd never in her life seen such a stunning raffle quilt.
Really gorgeous! And hand quilted to boot? wow.
The raffle quilt is a beauty, congratulations on best of show!
GOOD Marie. But we all know ur the best at quilting. I'm surprised it took the judges til now to notice!
gosh I'm getting excited about our guild quilt show coming up this weekend. yesterday was judging day, one of my favorites. and our guild raffle quilt came in as Best of Show by the impartial professional judges! you can see it on my page, and also our website.
Ha ha Pup. YES....or walking and reading at the same time, and walking into a parked car (lucky thing I had the sense of looking before crossing the street!!) Or frequenting the library often enough that the staff knew me by name and remind me when it was time to go home for dinner!
Linda you're my kinda weird! Remember reading with a flashlight under the covers after lights out? LOL
Pup....I was one of those odd ball kids who actually liked to perfect their calligraphic skills. That and reading! I enjoyed sports....but never the organized variety....some players always took it too serious and the fun was gone! But give me a bike or skis and you're talking my kind of language :)

EMRISE Corporation UK Subsidiary Purchases Previously Leased Building In England
DURHAM, N.C., March 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- EMRISE CORPORATION (OTCQB:EMRI), a multi-national manufacturer of defense and aerospace electronic devices and communications equipment, announced today that on March 4, 2013, it completed the purchase of the building and land that houses the Company's Pascall Electronics, Ltd. subsidiary located in Ryde, on the Isle of Wight in England. The purchase price for the 35,000 square foot building was £1.8 million (approximately US$2.7 million). Pascall Electronics had previously leased the building and land for approximately 15 years.
The Company's principal lender in the UK provided the financing for the purchase of the building and land with a 20-year, £1.4 million (approximately US$2.2 million) mortgage with a fixed annual interest rate of 4.8 percent for the first 15 years.
Pascall's state of the art electronics development and manufacturing facilities are located in the building together with the subsidiary's administrative, sales and marketing staffs. Pascall, part of the Company's Electronic Devices business segment, designs and manufactures custom and standard power supplies and RF (radiofrequency) and microwave devices, systems and sub-systems.
The purchase of the building and the terms of the mortgage loan have made it possible for EMRISE to reduce its cash outlay for the Pascall facilities starting this month as the monthly principal and interest payments on the mortgage are considerably less than the previous lease payments. Beginning this month, there will also be a favorable impact on the monthly income statements since the Company will no longer be making the lease payments and the mortgage payments are less than the depreciation on the building. About Pascall Electronics, Ltd. Pascall designs and manufactures custom and standard power supplies and RF (radiofrequency) and microwave devices, systems and sub-systems. Pascall is internationally known for its high reliability cabin and electronics bay power supplies, especially for the IFE&C (In-flight Entertainment and Connectivity) market. Its custom-built, high-reliability power supplies and other electronic devices are also used in military applications for land- and sea-based guided weapons systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, tanks, fighting vehicles and avionics, as well as in applications for the commercial aviation, industrial, marine, space and transport markets.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Catching Up With Gore VidalPosted on Aug 1, 2012
Since 2006, Truthdig has been proud to publish the essays of Gore Vidal. Below are some of his highlights. His major condemnation of President George W. Bush, "President Jonah, Meet Oliver Cromwell!" can be read here or heard in Gore's own voice here. Gore's most controversial posting on Truthdig was his 2008 critique of Newsweek for going easy on his old nemesis, William F. Buckley, after the conservative's death. It is titled appropriately enough "Gore Vidal Speaks Seriously Ill of the Dead." Gore also wrote about John McCain, impeachment, and "America the Great ... Police State." Read more Truthdig articles by Gore Vidal here and listen to podcasts here. Below, Gore speaks with Truthdig Editor-in-Chief Robert Scheer about the 2006 election and themes that are, sadly, still relevant today.

Daily Workout- Abs & Sprints
July 18, 2012 Workout Routine- Abs & Sprints
Muscle Prodigy is committed to helping you with your fitness goals. You need to hit the gym often and hard. However, sometimes it gets overwhelming with what to do in the gym. We're here to break down a structure for you that will include a detailed script of exactly what you should be doing in the gym each day. That's right...every Monday we will post the schedule for the week, meaning that you will have advance notice of exactly what days you should be hitting the gym, which muscle groups you will be training, and which days you have off to give your body adequate rest. Every single morning, we will post the routine of the day, so you know exactly what to do while in the gym.
These routines are exactly what the founders of Muscle Prodigy do, so you know that you are in good hands. We will always stay committed to provide you with tough workouts, but we will never overtrain you like most other programs do. We also show you exactly how to perform the exercises with our before and after pictures and our instructional videos, in which we demonstrate the exercises and walk you through them. Be sure to check back every single day for your structured workout program!
Please check out our Exercise Database to learn how to do any type of workout as well.
Schedule for the Week of July 16, 2012:
Monday: Chest/Triceps/Cardio
Tuesday: Back/Biceps
Wednesday: Abs/Cardio
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Shoulders/Abs/Cardio
Saturday: Off
Sunday: Off
For this week you will focus on doing standard workouts, incorporating both compound and isolation exercises. For your cardio exercises, you will do all sprint based workouts. Make sure you increase the weight as the reps decrease (and vise-versa). Make sure you warm up properly doing 3-4 sets before starting your working sets for a specific muscle group.
For Wednesday, July 18, 2012, you will train your abs & cardio.
1) Advanced Plank
5 sets of 12 reps
Lie down on all fours but with your elbows tucked into your sides and forearms resting on the ground and feet together and toes curled in hoisting your body up supporting it from falling. Keeping your back straight and butt up but not overly so with your abs tight. Hold the position there for as long as you can using your abs to hold you up. An advanced movement of the plank is by pulling one leg and the opposite arm in the air while maintaining your body up in the air on one arm and one leg. Switch arms and legs throughout the exercise to work on both sides of the abdominals.
2) Hanging Leg Raises
5 sets of 20 reps
Position yourself so that your elbows go into the inserts of the pocket of the hanging ab apparatus. Hold yourself up using your abs to do so and holding on to the apparatus itself with your hands for extra support. Without jerking or swaying your body, forcefully pull your legs up using your abs until your toes are eye-level. Hold it there for a brief moment to squeeze. Then, return your legs back down to the original position without swaying at all (keep your abs tight to prevent from swaying and do it slowly).
3) Twisting Oblique Machine
5 sets of 20 reps (each side)
Sit down in the machine with the pads set on the highest setting so that the pad is 90 degrees from looking forward. Keep your chest to the pad and grab the handlebars. Pull it across to the other side completely in a full range of motion by twisting your body and using your abs. Slowly twist your body back to the original position. Make sure to switch the pad to the opposite side.
4) Crunches
5 sets of 50 reps
Lie down on the floor on your back, with both hands either behind your head or crossed over your chest and legs up on a bench so your hamstrings are perpendicular with the floor. Forcefully crunch your body up so that your elbows touch your thighs. Hold it there for a brief moment and squeeze the abdominals to maximize blood flow. Slowly come back down to the original position just before your upper back touches the ground and repeat.
20 sprints of 50 yards
Try to find about 50 yards of space (half the length of a football field). Sprint 50 yards as hard as you can, rest 30 seconds and repeat for a total of 20 times.
Be sure to check back every single day for your workout of the day!
Please check out our Exercise Database to learn how to do any type of workout
This is a simplified workout routine that just shows you the number of reps and sets. However, there are many variables that go unaccounted for in this program that we explain fully in our MP45 Program, which will get you more ripped in only 45 days because it hinges on the idea of the type of intensity you must achieve while in the gym. Also, the battle with your physique is won in the kitchen, not just the gym. MP45 includes the most detailed workout program and meal plan for all 45 days, including 300 pages of nutritional and training science depicting exactly why MP45 is so effective. These workouts are very basic ideas of what we do in the gym, which will tremendously help your results, but nutrition is actually responsible for 80% of the way you look. Also, the type of reps you are completing within your set is very important, which is why MP45 is so effective. We explain how to exactly achieve the pump during your workouts and how to completely exhaust your muscle to expedite the process of it recovering to grow back in half the time.

A door window may move slowly or stop in mid travel due to a failing power window motor. The affected window may start working again after the motor cools off. Replacing the faulty window motor will commonly correct this concern.
Google+Car Problem Reports
Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Power Window Motors May Fail From Overheating
Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Problem
Model Years Affected: 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996
Average Mileage: 111,775 mi (8,000 mi - 300,000 mi)
lorisjones, 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, 300,000 miRookie
The car is 1989 and it's 300000km. I replaced the window motor with one from a "Pick and Pull". It was a very frustrating, difficult and long process. You have to take off the door paneling. There are rivets attaching the motors to the doors. You must use a motor from the same side of the car or it won't fit. I ended up just using cotter pins and zip ties to anchor them into place and the one I did like that 5 years ago is still working fine. Right now two of our four windows motors are broken. I must admit I have more knowledge and tools then I did 5 years ago when I did the first one but wow that first one made me mad...

I just got my 1989 Cutlass Cierra and the windows are not working. I openned the fiberglass portion of the door on the driver side. I just simply pushed the wires all the way in and all four windows worked perfectly. I was just a loose connection in my case.

Passenger side window would not operate up or down. After removing inner door panel (best to use trim removal pry bars to lessen risk of damaging the many plastic finned plug-snaps), circuitry to switches and then motor itself tested fine, therefore a faulty motor. To replace the window motor, two rivets on the motor assembly must be drilled out along with the two rivets on the drive belt track. The two lower sash bolts that hold the window itself must be loosened enough (not removed) to be able to slip the heavy nylon plate down. This will allow the entire motor/belt track mechanism to be maneuvered enough to drill out the three rivets which hold the window motor to the belt drive "transmission." All removed rivets are replaced with nuts and bolts provided with the replacement motor. The re-attachment of the window motor to the drive assembly is accomplished between the door skins...as I'm not even certain the entire motor/drive/belt track can be removed in one piece.
Yes, the water protector sheet between the inner door panel and the inner metal door skin will have to cut (and then later taped) to gain access to the window motor/drive assembly.
When re-assembling, make certain the heavy nylon plate attached to the belt track is in the correct alignment with the lower sash bolts BEFORE bolting the motor assembly into place. (No need to explain why the word "before" is capitalized, right? lol....) When re-installing the inner door panel make certain the top lip hangs over the inner window frame--so it's somewhat snug with the window, then work from the top--> down to re-insert the finned plastic plugs into the holes on the inner door skin. Don't forget to slide in the door lock rod and the handle through the door panel slots as you work your way down. About a half-dozen screws that were previously removed are then re-installed. This project took me several hours....as I had to sort through each removal process blindly....and I do all of the repairs and maintenance on the family's 5 vehicles---two of which are vintage cruise night show cars. As far as power window motor replacements, this is by FAR the most difficult ever!! I had to laugh at some of the YouTube videos showing power window replacements on other vehicles---taking less than an hour at most!! Hah----not THIS bear!!

Last updated 11/8/14
MLB News: The Washington Nationals recalled third baseman Anthony Rendon from Double-A Harrisburg to fill the roster void left by Ryan Zimmerman who was placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a left hamstring strain.
Fantasy Ramifications: On the definite fast track to the majors, Rendon was selected as a first round pick in the 2011 draft. He is still very young and his body is developing so his power is no-where close to where it probably will end up as, but if you have room on your bench in a dynasty league, he would be a solid addition. Just don't expect much at all this year.

Now that the voting is over and the results are in, it's time to look back at our election process.
Voter turnout was high, and that's a great thing. Democracy and freedom mean very little if we're not willing to participate in them.

Getting into the Halloween spirit, Gwen Stefani got all gussied up and hit the sidewalk for some serious candy last night (October 31) in Beverly Hills.
They're both massively-successful mommies, and Gwen Stefani and Rachel Zoe are thrilled to each have a bun in the oven.
Zoe posted a photo to her Instagram account on Tuesday (October 22) featuring herself and the No Doubt singer comparing their baby bumps while attending the Performing Arts Gala in Beverly Hills last week.
Leaving the costumes to the children, Gwen Stefani took Zuma to a Halloween party at his school on Saturday morning (October 19).
While Zuma wore a Power Ranger costume and Kingston sported a soccer uniform, the No Doubt frontwoman looked cute in a red plaid top, blue jeans, and white wedge sneakers.
Keeping her vehicle running smoothly to safely transport her kids, Gwen Stefani stopped by Gorilla Automotive Products in Los Angeles on Friday (October 18).
The No Doubt frontwoman wore blue jeans and a black jacket, which she took off to reveal her budding baby bump in a striped sleeveless top.
If the sky was especially dark last night (October 17) it's probably because all the stars were in Beverly Hills at the Inaugural Gala for the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts!
Longtime married couple Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale showed up at the Salvatore Ferragamo-hosted shindig, all gussied up and kid-free.
Enjoying some family fun on a beautiful fall day, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale took the boys to Lake Arrowhead on Saturday (October 12).
The No Doubt frontwoman smiled brightly in a leopard-print sweater and ripped jeans while her rocker hubby held their Pomeranian's leash.
Beautiful, and looking like she's more than ready to go on tour, even in the midst of her pregnancy, Gwen Stefani arrived with her family on Friday (October 11) at a hotel in Lake Arrowhead, California.
Looking cool and collected in the chilly weather, the 44-year-old mommy wore her signature bleached hair up in a high knot, sporting stylish shades, long gray scarves, black overcoat, ripped blue jeans and fun patterned high tops.
Enjoying the morning mommy routine, Gwen Stefani dropped Zuma off at school in Studio City, California on Tuesday (October 8).
The No Doubt frontwoman wore a gray Superdry + Timothy Everest coat, black skinnies, and heels as she smiled and held her little boy's hand in the parking lot.

EnglandXReader~ Englishmen are policemen
You were only a little bit over the speed limit... only a little....10...15... 20 miles an hour over 45... that was only a little bit. Right?
Okay, it was only going to be a ticket... only a ticket. All you had to worry about was your boyfriend finding out about it...
Yes he might be a police officer but there's still a chance he wont find out about it if the officer walking up to your car now didn't recognize you as his girlfriend. You shrunk into your seat slightly as you listened to the footsteps on the pavement come closer and close... he was at the back of your car now.
You squeezed your eyes shut as you felt the police officer walk up to the window.
Oh God oh God... God dammit iiitttttt....
"May I please see your license and registration please love?"
Of course. OF FUCKING COURSE.
It had to be Arthur. Your boyfriend. The one you were going to try and keep this a secret from.
" Excuse me, but I asked to see your- ," He turned and froze. His face went from the usual serious police man look to the furious boyfriend face you tend to see often in
the recent weeks of your relationship.
"____________." What the bloody hell were you doing, going 25 miles over
the speed limit?"
" W-What are you talking about Arthur?," A nervous smile stretched across your face. You didn't know what the hell you were doing trying to defend yourself against him about speeding, when he just chased you down the road with his nice police car that he let you drive occasionally in secret... but..
"Love. Don't lie to me..."
".... I'm sorry Artie... I just... I wanted to get home and make dinner before you
got home..."
" My bloody cooking is not that bad!"
" N-No! Not because of that Arthur!... Wait... d-do you even know what today is
"Erm... oh!...Oh..."
" Yeah, oh. I cant believe you Arthur! And you get mad at me!?"
" L- Love, I've just been busy with work! I swear I didn't forget about our anniversary
darli-," The radio on his shoulder went off.
" Attention all units. Attention all units. There are reports of a shooting at 42 Wallabyway. I repeat, 42 Wallabyway. All units for backup."
Arthur sighed. " Love, we'll talk about both of us later, but I need to take this call. You know I do." Yes, you knew Arthur was the big cop around here. He was the most respected one, and you were glad. He could boast about something, and he could find something to have pride in. But... he's been taking extra shifts... night shifts and doing even more paperwork than usual. You wondered if it was... just to have some work to do for a promotion..or... if it was to spend time away...from...you.
"Fine. Go." You sighed and started the car again. "Ill see you at ho-"
"Im sorry, but I wont be able to make that call. Please send Officer Jones in my place. He'll be able to handle it." You looked up at Arthur, and he smiled at you.
"Got it Kirkland. Over and out." Arthur then turned the radio off and took his hat off.
"Love... Im hurt that you really thought that I would forget our anniversary... our 3rd one as well." He reached into his pocket quietly for something.
You watched his hand for a second and looked up at him. "Arthur...?"
"Darling can you get out of the car please?" You blinked and nodded quickly. You got out of the car shyly and looked at him.
"You're not going to arrest me are you...?" Arthur Kirkland chuckled as he pulled a little box out of his pocket.
"Not quite Love." He then got on his knee carefully. Your eyes widened as he held the box up to you, and opened it to show a ring. You put a hand to your mouth slowly and you
looked at him shyly.
"________ ________ ... You've made me a very happy man. I cant tell you how much you've improved my life and who I am. I'm an asshole I know, I'm caught up in keeping my pride and I know I tend to annoy you sometimes.. But... I want to spend the rest of my life with you... Will you... Will you marry an asshole like me?"
You felt tears slowly fall down your face. "O-Of course Arthur... o-of course..."
He grinned and slipped the ring carefully onto your finger. He stood and gave you a tight and loving hug. "Why're you crying Love...?"
"I-Im just so happy.."
"Good... I'm glad... now... about the speeding ticket."
"You're kidding me."
