Condition: Good+. On offer are a superb pair [2] of original 1888 and 1889 manuscript diaries handwritten by Miss Maud[e] May Telfer a young woman born May 18th 1875 in Blenheim, Kent, in south-western Ontario. A very mature girl of 12 when the writings start January 2nd of 1888 it appears a much younger hand has inscribed the book as 'Private Maude's' on the title page. Thereafter Maud proves to be a dedicated diarist, rarely missing a day and describing all her daily doings from school, visits, travel and she does a yeoman job naming all her family, friends and visitors. Readers of Maud's diaries will find her to be rather exceptional. On the one hand she is like all girls of her age interested in playing at recess, consulting with her girlfriends, cheering on her baseball team. Just as easily she writes of Temperance and the politics of the Scott Act to her loan arrangement with her father repaying her $7.26 being the interest and capital repaid after a $6.00 one year loan she provided him. [Casual research into her family found that her father James Telfer was an inventor and we note Maud makes note of his, we believe, first invention late in 1889.] The 1888 book is an 8 x 6 inch and is over a hundred pages completely full. The 1889 book is a very large, 13 x 8 inch 'Daily Journal' diary again completely filled. Here are some snippets: 'I moved that we should get up a society and Flora seconded it so we voted Flora as President, Lizzie Secretary, Maude Vice President and myself TreasurerWent up the station and saw Dr Oliver Steward and his bride got away.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In "Unlimited Impossibilities: Intelligence Support to the Deepwater Horizon Response," CAPT Erich M. Telfer of the U. S. Coast Guard examines the Intelligence Community and Coast Guard response to the 2010 BP oil explosion on Deepwater Horizon, which spilled tons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. Telfer points out problems that hampered the response and suggests approaches for better communication and coordination in future responses. In April 2010, when BP's DEEPWATER HORIZON rig exploded and spilled millions of barrels of oil in the Gulf of Mexico, the United States had no national-level plan for intelligence support to guide the process of conducting intelligence collection, analysis, production, and dissemination. The intelligence effort lacked unity of command, and took over a month and a half to develop a functioning system that served strategic- and operational- level decisionmakers well. Even then, it was of less help to tactical responders. A considerable amount of data was collected during the response (primarily by remote sensing), but analyzing, producing, and disseminating the subsequent intelligence proved difficult. The lack of an air tasking order directing and deconflicting all flights above and around the spill resulted in near air-to-air collisions and hampered intelligence collection. In addition, no imagery-based common operating picture existed to display the spill, the impacted areas, and the response effort. To prevent these problems from happening again, the Coast Guard should develop a plan for future spills of national significance that describes the organization, command relationship, function, and goal of intelligence support. The Coast Guard also should establish a system to manipulate and share imagery of the spill among federal, state, local, tribal, private, and public organizations. An air tasking order should guide obtaining this imagery, to ensure flight safety and intelligence collection. Finally, a system for developing a common operating picture should be used to share information and manage intelligence across the spectrum of responders and response activities.
