1.1 In the scores my flight is displayed in grey. It did not score any points or is not ranked at all.
5 different reasons are possible:
- The flight was executed with a powered sailplane, but your logger file does not include ENL recording.
- The logger file is invalid.
- The flight scored less than 50 points (please have a look at OLC-Plus 4.4 rules).
- The flight is still in the evaluation (with yellow/blue S in the flight info) Please be patient.
- The flight was reported too late (please have a look at the OLC-Plus rules 3.2).
1.2 My flight did not score because of a red S, what can I do about that?
Please check the OLC comment in your flight information, you may find a hint here.
It is possible that the flight was performed with a motorized glider, but the flight file does not contain an ENL (Engine Noise Level) record.
Either a non IGC approved logger was used or the ENL recording was disabled. In this case you will get the OLC comment "Autocomment: Used Aircraft has engine, but ENL logging deactivated" in the flight message.
Remedy: Please click „edit flight“ in the flight information window, put a checkmark at „cancel flight“ and hit „save“.
Then claim your flight again using the appropriate file.

Interweaving Peace and Women’s Rights: The Street Spirit Interview with Shelley Douglass, Part 3
by Terry Messman
“The feminism that I believe in is a defense of all life. Not only women, not only the earth, but all together. It’s all reweaving the web.” Shelley Douglass
Jim and Shelley Douglass demonstrating for peace in Birmingham, Alabama.
Street Spirit: Concern for the rights of women, both in society and in the peace movement, was always a part of Ground Zero’s message to the larger movement. Can you describe how feminism and women’s issues became interwoven with Ground Zero’s peace work?
Shelley Douglass: Well, you have to remember that Ground Zero — and Pacific Life Community, which preceded it — were founded on the idea that nonviolence was a way of life. So it wasn’t just a political type of resistance campaign against Trident. It was an attempt, and is an attempt, to learn a new way of living where things like Trident are not necessary any more. In order to do that, you have to have justice, because the point of the weaponry is to defend things that are unjust or structures that are unjust. So equal rights for women was part of the basis of what we were doing.

The Persecution of the Peacemakers: The Street Spirit Interview with Shelley Douglass, Part 4
by Terry Messman

Street Spirit: I just read John McCoy’s new biography of Archbishop Raymond Hunthausen, A Still and Quiet Conscience [Maryknoll, New York: Orbis Books, 2015]. He is such an inspiring man, but it was shocking to learn about the horrible indignities he suffered for speaking out for peace. Could you describe your impressions of the archbishop when he came to peace demonstrations at Ground FEATURE image: Civil Rights March on Washington, D.C. (Leaders of the march posing in front of the statue of Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln Memorial.) by Rowland Scherman (b. 1937), for the U.S. Information Agency. Press and Publications Service. Public Domain/U.S. National Archives and Records Administration. By John P. Walsh President John F. Kennedy watched the march—and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech—from the White House on television. Both Kennedy and King were young men—King was 34 years old, Kennedy was 46 years old. Mature beyond their years, each American proffered green oak in some ways—Kennedy was especially more personally sensitive than his “cool” public persona belied him to be. King, too, was mostly uncomfortable on August 28, 1963 with the particular attention, from the media and others, that he was receiving for his remarks at the Lincoln Memorial. As the civil rights leaders filed into the Cabinet Room at the White House the first thing Kennedy said when he took King’s hand was “I have a dream…” The president was repeating King’s line that immediately impressed him and the nation when they heard it on TV live only a short time before. King deflected the president’s compliment and immediately asked him what the president thought of United Automobile Workers president Walter Reuther’s excellent speech. It had included a criticism of Kennedy for defending freedom around the world but not always at home. Kennedy replied to King: “Oh, I’ve heard [Walter] plenty of times.” King and Kennedy hardly talked any more during the visit, though when they did it led to an outcome for action. Kennedy and NAACP leader Roy Wilkins talked at length about strengthening the civil rights bill following that day’s completely peaceful march. King moved away from the president and down the line to near then-23-year-old John Lewis, head of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). One section to the civil .
