Let me just say, any interest in the accident or the innocent victim is only incidental as it related to trying to get an understanding of the situation as it relates to the determination of the timing of the replacement of the bollard. We make observations and discuss things. I do not consider the victim motorcyclist or his grieving family members as persons of interest in the Embankment dig. End of story.
>The tide in the new position looks fairly high to my eye but I am no boatsman. In any case, this appears to be a tide that might be as high or higher than the one captured in EMB pics. IDK
Some thots:
1) Although we should remain curious about "other" tides, as they give us a larger sampling to get a feel for what a "high" tide is, actual comparisons, in our case, to determine a date and approximate time of the picture in ROT1, must be from pictorial evidence while at the ROT1 mooring location of the TATTS and HISPANIOLA. If we can find dated pics of the two restaurant ships showing tide level, those are important. If we can find dated pics of the two restaurant ships with either the Sun or Moon appearing near LONDON EYE, those are important.
2) I regard LONDON EYE even by itself as a fixture of no less importance than the restaurant ships. If we can find dated pictures of LE after sunrise with the Sun appearing through or near LE, those are extremely helpful to making an informed visual estimation of altitude to analyze ROT1. And, of course, dated pics of the Moon appearing through or near London Eye will help to estimate the alt of the Moon in ROT1.
With a dated pic, one can use either Mooncalc.org or Suncalc.org to attempt to estimate the celestial body's altitude. These have more tools than anons know. They even show shadow length.
Here is a challenge. Next time you see a daytime pic with shadows on the ground, pay attention to actual length of the shadow.
In analyzing the St. Patrick's day cap, I looked at what direction the Sun was casting its shadow, but for corroboration, I looked at the length of shadow. i used an estimate of the avg height of a male Briton and entered that in an information field and the site was telling me what length his shadow should be. A very useful site. I just wish we could have had a Moon shadow in ROT1.
Best wishes, and Good Hunting, Anons. Very Gud digging going on! Proud to be on this dig with you all.
An excellent view of the mooring dolphins and the ship rising and falling with the River's wakes? That part in the vid could be gud if discussing the moorings and how the ship rises and lowers while connected to the mooring dolphins. I am absolutely hating that I can't see further benefit. I completely dislike that role. On the converse, I'll tell you what I will do. I will run those daylight tides for those dates you mentioned, as they relate to the moving of the vessel. I think you correctly intuited the use of the tide in the move, taking advantage of high water while separating her from the moorings, and attaching her at a falling high tide but not a low tide. Helps with attachment as well as giving all attending vessels free, and safe, mobility on a still relatively high level above the bottom.
Be back shortly.
>Examine CH1 and compare the pointing man with the man on the island in the vid upbread. This is about dating the CH pic first and foremost.
Anon, i am absolutely lost since losing Qmap.pub. I hate those other aggregator sites. They are way too finicky and, maybe my paranoia tells me intentionally so, IDK. I used to be able to just type CH1 or London pics and get a bunch of posts. Not with these other sites. Zero. As you may not know, am phonefagging and don't have all the Q pics saved. I do save then when discussing but then delete.
Could you give us a cropped version of CH1 with that gent pointing at something?
>Based on the following sauces, she was unmoored by 22 MAR 2017 [Wednesday] and remained anchored in her old position for about two weeks.
Well I just watched the vid and the above account appears incorrect. No offense intended. Maybe a newspaper source getting it wrong?
When you watch the video, no sooner was she released from her old mooring, the tugboats were taking her away and to her new moorings that appeared finished and waiting for her. You kind of get a feel for the dispatch with which they were werking as well. Millions of dollars worth of tradesmen, Port Authority, tugboats on hand. It made no sense to anchor her a couple of weeks. Waste of money to get the boys out there to cut her away and call time for tea. Now, I will get that tide data for that March date. She may have been re-moored and then waited for the gangplanks a couple of weeks later. Even if they were not ready with new mooring couplings to attach her that day, they did tow her to the New mooring immediately, but she did not remain at the old mooring, according to the vid. It would even appear to be unsafe to anchor next to a mooring as well. If they didn't, then they should have had the new mooring couplings ready to attach. Huge waste of manpower. Anyhow, will get March 22.
Well, taking just this one pic for now, I do not see a man pointing. There appears to be a man and a woman walking together. The man in a long black overcoat, may be holding his hands behind him. The woman is wearing a dark knee-length dress. Sometimes when I look at the couple I can't tell if what appears to be the man's hand(s) behind his back are his hand or maybe the woman is in an odd posture kind of gesticulating wildly as she walks down the street. And this is mad but why do I imagine the woman is wearing a face mask. I been locked up with C19 on the brain now.
Mind this is not considered official like the London Port Authority measurements we have for 2013 and 2014. High tide would have been around 3pm. They may have been working with a still rising tide if around noon?

suncalc.org (also a gud site to measure shadows seen in pictures if you know approx height of an object.)
I trust your observations, Anon. My small screen device with not so great resolution makes me rely on my large screen cousin's observations many times.
>If there was one in the cycling video thingy … clear sky, close to full moon would that help? Is the date of that one not known? Sherlock Holmes done some shadow measuring as I recall.
My hopes are not high for a Moon shadow in the city lights of London. And, you are right. There was that Sherlock Holmes case involving the lack of moon shadow to prove a witness was lying.
True if Bigly.👍
Why aren't you under lockdown?
Oh well.
1) Building across the street. Tenants listing/directory. 2) Corinthia Hotel. Some street views of Hotel from around (green) Taximan's Shelter. 3) Hungerford Bridge pedestrian bridge. Will tell you the time to go.
Would be great to get some "NSA traffic cam-like" pics from Hungerford Bridge around 12:20am. You would see the Moon over London Eye @ about a 55 degree elevation. Take some LMI6 pics from Hungerford too. When you come back diwn the Hungerford steps from there snap some pics of Corinthia. Would be nice.
Funny.
How about a pic from bus stop that had the RED BUS in it (at COVENTRY & OXENDON) looking back at Piccadilly Circus? Would be nice to see what "Gina" is looking at.
Relaying message from General Research. see cap
Just wanted to say that, while the vid you posted is filmed in the Millbank area of London, it is not filmed at the MILLBANK BUILDING, which is one of many buildings in the Millbank section of London. Our interest in the MILLBANK BLDG. is about the distinct pattern of building lights left on at that building which pattern appears to be the same in all the Embankment pictures. This strongly indicates that all of the Q pics were taken on the same evening, even a short span of that same evening.
Not sure if you were posting that vid regarding our Embankment vid or not. If you were just posting the vid for some other reason, then carry on. But that building in the vid is def not the MILLBANK BLDG.
Only disease that you must test thousands upon thousands ti find its victims. There will be two groups of these victims who had to be hunted and sought out to be found: 1) those who had it but didn't know they had it, and 2) those who have it but didn't know they have it.
o7 Thank you, Baker and AnonFren. This anon has not done a good job thanking you for your support as a Baker and as an Anon. You are fam to this thread now. You have taken part in the diggs and just to hear your comments has become a very real moral support for this anon. Here is hoping for victory for President Trump. And here is hoping for your safety and your family's safety. Be well and be safe. God Bless you, Anon. From an old AnonFren. I hope we will be drinking beer and eating popcorn, hotdogs and burgers tomorrow in celebration tomorrow. Your longtime FrenAnon.
TvmAnon. Can you provide the exact time this pic was taken? Has multiple stars, possible planets to get a sample altitude measurement. If you are still in London, am requesting a LONDON EYE sunrise with sun nearby or a similar moon near LE with time pkease. Never hurts to ask right? Thanks for the pics.
Sorry forgot pic with stars in it.
Two things I thot noteworthy are that 1) our London Black Box seems to have become a "contested space" in that there appears to be a tiny battle going on between slap-taggers and (perhaps) anti-graffiti forces trying to quell this (seemngly) new rebellion.
2) It seems something has changed. Do anons recall how long we estimated that first graffiti "king of the city" slap-tag remained unmolested? It was like 16 months or something with hardly any other slap-tags. Now look at that evidence of many slap-tags being removed. If we were to consider this form of graffiti as a type of communication, it might seem like a kind of escalation of sorts. Someone very mich wants that their "comms" be seen. Also, look around. Is that a typical environment to find graffiti taggers? One can wonder, if all chatter or "graffiti" might provide a cover for very real drops. If you have read spy novels, some such mark was made on a bench or tape was placed in a window to indicate a drop or further comms. This area in the photo is odd. The area is quite pristine. No other type of graffiti.
Question. Would a valet put out light coloured trousers for a ginger-haired royal before the first day of Spring?
Question. What would be a good day of the week for a parent to say to a toddler, 'We are going to pay respect' for their recently departed? A non-daycare day when fam can take the child with?
One of our March dates is on a Saturday evening (March 22, 2014) the eve before Sunday, March 23, 2014.
>HIGH TIDE and BIG MOON are highly significant markers. Tidal and lunar info are relevant to time of year [WINTER], time of month [LUNAR PHASES],and time of day [LUNAR CYCLES]. Likewise, the TIDAL marker is related to the lunar season, phase, cycle - and vice versa. These two markers make for a unique match-up between themselves and as such are serve as the clockface of the scene in ROT1.
>Tidal and lunar anons, please confirm or correct the above description of the tidal/lunar info in play.
Confirm. Although, technically, the EMB series evidence seems to be [SPRING], just. Confirm altitudes in Winter too high, but get lowest within our pictorial evidence bookends at March 2014. And our dates for March are March 20 and 22. The 21st being eliminated by Moon arriving in position while TATTS was still open. Current fav: 3/22 due to the poss parent bringing child to scene. Done on a Sunday after church services? Or a weekend, non-child daycare day?
Sorry for late response. Distracted with the American ekection.
