By 2014, Slattery held the rank of Commander in the United States Navy and was the Executive Officer of the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Nathan James (DDG-151). That year, the Nathan James took on paleomicrobiologists Dr. Rachel Scott (Rhona Mitra) and Dr. Quincy Tophet (Sam Spruell) as the Nathan James conducted operations at the Arctic. However, their mission, unknown to even them, was just a cover for Drs. Scott and Tophet, who were actually collecting samples of a deadly virus that has infected 80 percent of the human population while they have been at sea, including his own son, Lucas.[2]
When CDR Chandler was promoted to Chief of Naval Operations after the defeat of the Immunes and the successful creation of the "contagious cure" by Dr. Scott, Slattery was promoted to the rank of Captain and named Commanding Officer of the Nathan James.[3] He was captured as a P.O.W. by pirates, he has since been rescued and is once again CO of the USS Nathan James.

After the death of LCDR Barker at the hands of Amy Granderson's (Alfre Woodard) rogue Maryland State Troopers, Kara is made Tactical Actions Officer of the Nathan James and is given special dispensation by the captain to remain at sea, despite regulations stating that all pregnant officers and sailors be reassigned to shore duty.[7]
In "A More Perfect Union", Danny proposes to Kara and by "The Scott Effect", they are married and Kara has given birth to a son, Frankie Green. In addition to being a new wife and mother, Kara has left active duty and works for Captain Chandler and the Michener Administration as a Deputy Chief of Staff for military (specifically naval) matters.[3][8] Although most of the characters in the St. Louis White House referred to her as "Mrs. Green", Secretary Rivera sometimes addressed her as "Commander Green".

He succeeds, and in St. Louis introduces Dr. Scott to his daughter while helping pass around the cure.[8]
After the death of Dr. Scott, Tex and his daughter found work with Roberta Price (Lucy Butler), the regional leader of the Deep South. However, when he learned that the private security contractors he was training were being used by Price as her own personal private army, he tried to leave and was captured . He escaped from Price's custody, and he and Kathleen eventually made their way to Kara Green and Jacob Scott, and helped them extract President Oliver (John Cothran) from the Chief of Staff, Allison Shaw (Elisabeth Röhm), and the other regional leaders who wanted him to dissolve the country.[15]
Now with President Oliver, Kara, and Kathleen, Tex is declared a fugitive by Shaw and the leaders as they make their way to San Diego to rendezvous with the Nathan James, which was coming back from Asia. Together, they took down Manuel Castillo, California's regional leader.[16]

Unknown – December 11, 2013
President Jeffrey Allen "Jeff" Michener (died 2016) was the former United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. Immune to the Red Flu, Michener is the sole surviving member of the Cabinet of the United States, which makes him next in the Presidential line of succession. In "A More Perfect Union", he was officially sworn in as President of the United States in St. Louis, Missouri, by a surviving judge. He is portrayed by Mark Moses.
Prior to the outbreak of the Red Flu, Michener served as the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development. When the outbreak began, the president sent Michener to Tallahassee, Florida to set up a safe zone in Doak Campbell Stadium. During this time, he had his son flown in from Michigan to be with the family. Unbeknownst to Michener, his son had contracted the virus while in Michigan, thus creating an outbreak of the virus in the stadium. After his son's death, his wife begged him to smother their two daughters before the virus fully incapacitated them. Michener obliged.[21]
After the death of his family, Michener wandered around Florida trying to expose himself to sick people in the hopes of catching a different strand of the virus. Eventually, he ran into a group of Immunes who took him into their group. It was around this time that he was introduced to the Ramsey brothers, who planned to use him as a political puppet in order to gain control of the United States. Michener was rescued in "Alone and Unafraid" by CDR Chandler, LT Burk, and Lt. Bivas inside the Ramsey's compound in Florida.[22]
While on board the Nathan James and suffering from survivor's guilt, Michener slit his wrists in a suicide attempt.[21] After being freed from the Ramseys' brainwashing, Michener became a staunch ally and supporter of the Nathan James and its crew, helping the American public gain back the trust the ship needed in order to spread the cure.
After the defeat of the Immunes and the successful creation of the "contagious cure" by Dr. Rachel Scott, Michener is sworn in as President of the United States by a surviving judge in St. Louis. One of Michener's first official acts as President is to issue pardons to the Immunes who got swept up in the Ramsey brothers' campaign, as well as to Dr. Scott, who intentionally killed Niels Sørensen in order to create the contagious cure; he also promoted CDR Chandler to Chief of Naval Operations while the Nathan James is in drydock.[8]
Over the next few months, President Michener set up a new federal government based out of the Old Courthouse in St. Louis, which he named the new capital of the United States. He appointed St. Louis Mayor Howard Oliver (John Cothran) as his Vice President, Allison Shaw (Elisabeth Röhm) as his Chief of Staff, and Alex Rivera (Nestor Serrano) as his Secretary of Foreign Affairs; CAPT Chandler, as Chief of Naval Operations, also served as Michener's de facto military commander in lieu of an official Secretary of Defense.[3]
In the episode "In the Dark," reporter Jacob Barnes reveals to the public that President Michener flew his infected son to his safe zone in Florida against protocols that resulted in an outbreak there. Consumed by grief and humiliation, he commits suicide in his hotel room and is found by Kara Green and two Secret Service agents.[23] However, it was later revealed that President Michener was actually murdered as part of a planned coup d'état orchestrated by the regional leaders and his Chief of Staff, Allison Shaw.[15]
Howard Oliver[edit]
The former Mayor of Saint Louis, who served as Vice President of the United States under President Jeffrey Michener. Upon Michener's death, Oliver cancelled short a diplomatic trip to South America and returned to the United States, where he was sworn in as President.[24] Initially held up in a Costco, his effective leadership as Mayor during the Red Flu pandemic resulted in the St. Louis area having one of the lowest casualty rates in the country, and he became revered for inspiring hope in the people. He is later held hostage in the White House by Allison Shaw and members of the United States Secret Service loyal to her, forced to be a puppet for her and the regional leaders under threat of his family being executed. He is later rescued by the crew of the USS Nathan James, and operates in exile out of the office used by Michener aboard the ship for a brief period of time.
He is portrayed by John Cothran.
Allison Shaw[edit]
Allison Shaw is the former White House Chief of Staff, serving under President Michener and President Oliver. It is implied in the episode "Sea Change" that she was in a secret relationship with President Michener. Shaw reveals that she is the leader of the coup d'état against President Oliver in the episode "Paradise". As a component of the coup d'état, Shaw and four out of the five regional leaders authorized the murders of Secretary of Foreign Affairs Alex Rivera and the fifth regional leader, Senator William Beatty. Shaw also authorized the murder of President Michener in the episode "In The Dark," with her Secret Service agents staging the scene to make it look like a suicide. Shaw is shot and killed by Captain Chandler during a moment of rage in the Season 3 finale "Don't Look Back" after he learns that she had his father killed, his children kidnapped, and the death of Tex at the hands of her men.
She is portrayed by Elisabeth Röhm.
Alex Rivera[edit]
Alex Rivera was the United States Secretary of Foreign Affairs under President Michener and briefly under President Oliver. Rivera and Senator William Beatty were shot and killed by order of Allison Shaw and the four remaining regional leaders in the Season 3 episode "Paradise."
He is portrayed by Nestor Serrano.

The real-life United States Secretary of the Navy, Ray Mabus, cameoed as himself in "It's Not a Rumor", issuing orders to the crew of the Nathan James via a recorded message; by the time the ship received the orders, Secretary Mabus had succumbed to the "Red Flu" virus.

In the aftermath of the Red Flu, he works towards engineering crops resistant to its successor, the Red Rust. He controls a large army of fighters, in addition to remnants of the Hellenic Navy, including Hydra class battle ship HS Triton, where his laboratory is located. It is later revealed he plans on synthesising a drug from the mutated Nostros weed (which acts as an inhibitor to the brains stress and aggression positive feedback group, rendering those effected by it docile and unable to fight), and use it in conjunction with controlling the food supply with the cure for the Red Rust.

Does not appear to be very plausible since the character needed to have completed college before obtaining a commission in the peacetime Navy and it would be more plausible for the character's rapid advancement to the rank of full Lt. at a relatively young age would have been the result of attending college on a NROTC scholarship. Otherwise, the statement doesn't appear to be plausible. (August 2017)

Great Bath, Mohenjo-daro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search
"Great Bath" redirects here. For the site in England, see Roman Baths (Bath).
The Great Bath of the Indus Valley civilization
The Great Bath is one of the best-known structures among the ruins of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization at Mohenjo-daro in Sindh, Pakistan.[1][2] Archaeological evidence indicates that the Great Bath was built in the 3rd millennium BC, soon after the raising of the "citadel" mound on which it is located.[3]

Features[edit]
Another view of the Great Bath
The Great Bath of Mohenjo-daro is called the "earliest public water tank of the ancient world".[4] It measures 11.88 × 7.01 metres, and has a maximum depth of 2.43 metres. Two wide staircases, one from the north and one from the south, served as the entry to the structure.[5] A 1 metre wide and 40 centimetres high mound is present at the ends of these stairs. A hole was also found at one end of the Bath which might have been used to drain the water into it.
The floor of the tank was watertight due to finely fitted bricks and mud laid on edge with a kind of plaster and the side walls were constructed in a similar manner. To make the tank even more watertight, a thick layer of bitumen (waterproof tar) was laid along the sides of the pool and presumably also on the floor. Brick colonnades were discovered on the eastern, northern and southern edges. The preserved columns had stepped edges that may have held wooden screens or window frames. Two large doors lead into the complex from the south and other access was from the north and east. A series of rooms were located along the eastern edge of the building and in one room was a well that may have supplied some of the water needed to fill the tank. Rainwater also may have been collected for the purpose, but no inlet drains have been found. It had a long bathing pool built with waterproof bricks.[4]
Most scholars agree that this tank would have been used for special religious functions where water was used to purify and renew the well being of the bathers.[4]
College of Priests[edit]
Across the street of Great Bath, there was a large building with several rooms and three verandas, and two staircases leading to roof and upper floor. Considering the size and proximity to Great Bath, this building is tentatively termed as house of priests and labelled as "college of priests".[3]
Discovery[edit]
It was found in 1926 during archaeological excavations.
Currency of Pakistan[edit]
The site of Mohenjo-daro is depicted in the Pakistani rupee 20 Rs note.

"Awesome God" is a contemporary worship song written by Rich Mullins and first recorded on his 1988 album, Winds of Heaven, Stuff of Earth. It was the first single from the album and rose to the number one spot on Christian radio and subsequently became a popular congregational song.[1] Its title is inspired by a biblical expression (Nehemiah 1:5, Nehemiah 9:32, Psalm 47, Daniel 9:4, etc.), variously translated as "Awesome God", (JPS, in the old-fashioned meaning "awe-inspiring"), "great" (KJV), among other alternatives. Due to the popularity of the song it became Mullins' signature song.[2]

Commentary[edit]
Mullins did not consider the song to be one of his best. In an interview with The Lighthouse Electronic Magazine in April 1996, he said:
You know, the thing I like about Awesome God is that it's one of the worst-written songs that I ever wrote; it's just poorly crafted. But the thing is that sometimes, I think, that when you become too conscientious about being a songwriter, the message becomes a vehicle for the medium. This is a temptation that I think all songwriters have. I think a great songwriter is someone who is able to take a very meaningful piece of wisdom - or of folly or whatever - and say it in a way that is most likely to make people respond. But, what you want them to respond to is not how cleverly you did that; what you want them to respond to is your message.[3]
Cover versions[edit]
Over a year after Mullins' death (in September 1997)[2] the song was covered on a tribute album for Mullins entitled Awesome God: A Tribute to Rich Mullins by Contemporary Christian musician, Michael W. Smith.[4][5] Numerous other Christian artists have performed versions in numerous styles, from ska to swing to straight rock and traditional worship style, even hardcore punk and heavy metal bands, such as, Unashamed and Pantokrator.[6]
Congregational and other use[edit]
The song may be used as a hymn and can be sung using only the chorus, alone or in medley.
