The Chatroom - Killarney Magazine & John McShain
Damien Switzer talks Killarney Magazine and John McShain
This week in The Chatroom we welcome back graphic design guru, local historian and all around good guy Mr Damien Switzer.
Damien popped in to talk about two different but interlinked topics. Firstly, the 2018 Killarney Magazine is in the shops now and Damien was the main design force behind the free premium tourist magazine, which tells tourists all about our amazing town. It details the best spots to eat, the best places to drink, all the activities that Killarney has to offer and also delves into a little bit of the history of Killarney.
Which leads to the second topic that Damien called in to chat about. Two pages of the Killarney Magazine has been dedicated to John McShain, the man who gave Killarney back to the people of Kill...

John McShain, Inc. v. Cessna Aircraft Co. (1977) Overview | LSData Case Brief Video Summary
John McShain, Inc. bought an aircraft from Wings, Inc. in May 1969. After some time, the landing gear collapsed twice. McShain sued Cessna, alleging a defective design in the landing gear. Cessna accepted liability for the first collapse, and the case went to trial. The jury found that there was no design defect and awarded McShain $11,734 for the first accident. McShain appealed the denial of a new trial, arguing that the court wrongly admitted evidence of McShain's release of Butler from liability and refused to admit copies of National Transportation Safety Board accident files.

The Iconic Pentagon Is The World's Largest Office Building #shorts #history #luxury #realestate
The Pentagon, an iconic symbol of American military power and the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, has a rich history that spans from its inception in the early 1940s to its status in the 21st century. Here's a brief overview of its history:
Planning and Construction (1941-1943)
The construction of the Pentagon was driven by the need for a centralized facility to coordinate U.S. military efforts during World War II. Prior to its construction, the War Department was scattered in 17 different buildings across Washington, D.C. The site chosen was in Arlington, Virginia, just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.

John McShain, Inc. v. Cessna Aircraft Co., 563 F.2d 632 (1977)
To encourage voluntary dispute resolution, Federal Rule of Evidence 408(a) generally makes evidence of settlement negotiations inadmissible at trial to prove liability. But Rule 408(b) provides for exceptions to this rule. John McShain, Incorporated versus Cessna Aircraft Company addresses one of these exceptions.
John McShain, Incorporated, purchased a plane manufactured by Cessna Aircraft Company. McShain had owned the plane for several months and made hundreds of landings with it when the main landing gear collapsed as the plane touched down on a runway in Baltimore. McShain notified Cessna of the incident and had a company called Butler Aviation-Friendship make repairs. After being repaired, the landing gear buckled again upon landing.
McShain sued Cessna in federal district court, alleging that the landing gear was defectively designed. Cessna joined Butler as a third-party defendant, alleging that the gear’s second failure was due to Butler’s incompetent repair work.
Before filing suit against Cessna, McShain signed an agreement releasing Butler from liability for the second accident in exchange for $10 and the right to retain Ralph Harmon, an employee of Butler’s sister corporation, as a consultant. Harmon provided expert testimony at trial in support of McShain’s design-defect theory. The district court permitted the release agreement to be entered into evidence to impeach Harmon’s testimony.
However, the district court refused to allow McShain to submit into evidence thirty accident reports submitted to the National Transportation Safety Board regarding accidents in which Cessna landing gear failed. The documents included statements from pilots and witnesses and reports from government investigators. The jury found that there was no design defect. McShain appealed to the Third Circuit, challenging the district court’s evidentiary rulings.

Which leads to the second topic that Damien called in to chat about. Two pages of the Killarney Magazine has been dedicated to John McShain, the man who gave Killarney back to the people of Killarney, and Damien is appalled that for all the man gave us, there is not even a blade of grass named after him. Damien wants to set this right and get something done to honour the man who has given us so much.

Guest Bios:
Bryan Vought- I completed my PhD in biophysics at Syracuse University. I came to Boston in 2000 to do my post-doc research at Harvard Medical School. From there I was hired as a protein biochemist/biophysicist at Vertex Pharmaceuticals to focus on membrane proteins. I started focusing mostly on their neuroscience programs. At the time, they were prioritizing phenotypic screens with a focus on human disease cell models. I turned my attention to stem cells and using IPSCs to create disease models. I helped to build out their stem cell facilities here in Boston. I left there in 2017 to start an in vitro disease modeling team at Alkermes in Waltham. While there, I built out a functional genomics team and we focused on characterizing epigenetic drug targets. A couple of years ago I became the director of in vitro biology at Ring Therapeutics where we use human primary and IPSC cell models to better understand how anellovirus can be harnessed to provide genetic therapy to patients.
While I was at Alkermes, I met John McShane. We were both passionate about epigenetics. The pandemic was keeping people apart, and we thought about how we might bring people together to talk about and promote epigenetics. We talked through different ideas about how we might do that. From that, the Boston Epigenetics Society was born. We would host webinars and bring together people while promoting epigenetics.
John McShane- John McShane has worked the last 12 years in biotech commercialization and business development focusing on epigenetic and next generation sequencing. He holds a Masters in Biotech Management from the Katz School of Science and Health at Yeshiva University and a Bachelors Degree in Molecular Biology from Lehigh University. He is currently the director of business development at Biomodal, a precision multiomics company backed by google ventures. John is a co-founder and steering committee member of the Boston Epigenetics Society.
The Boston Epigenetic Society has been founded to:
- Promote epigenetics and epitranscriptomics research
- Foster connections between academics and industry epigenetics scientists
- Help promote new methods
- Create a support system for experimental epigenetics research

The Iconic Pentagon Is The World's Largest Office Building #shorts #history #luxury #realestate
The Pentagon, an iconic symbol of American military power and the headquarters of the United States Department of Defense, has a rich history that spans from its inception in the early 1940s to its status in the 21st century. Here's a brief overview of its history:
Planning and Construction (1941-1943)
The construction of the Pentagon was driven by the need for a centralized facility to coordinate U.S. military efforts during World War II. Prior to its construction, the War Department was scattered in 17 different buildings across Washington, D.C. The site chosen was in Arlington, Virginia, just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C.
Designed by American architect George Bergstrom and engineered by John McShain, the Pentagon's distinctive five-sided shape was dictated by the original proposed location on a different site. Even after the location changed, the pentagonal design was retained. Groundbreaking took place on September 11, 1941, and remarkably, the building was completed in just 16 months, a testament to the urgency of the wartime period.
World War II and Early Years (1943-1950)
The Pentagon was completed and began operation in 1943. During the war years, it served as a hub for military planning and coordination, playing a crucial role in the Allies' victory. Its rapid construction and immediate operational capacity were seen as remarkable achievements of wartime organization and efficiency.
After the end of World War II, the Pentagon continued to serve as the nerve center for U.S. military operations during the early stages of the Cold War. Its design facilitated efficient communication and coordination among the different branches of the U.S. armed forces.
Cold War Era (1950-1989)
Throughout the Cold War, the Pentagon was the locus of strategic military planning, including responses to the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and various other global conflicts during this period. It also housed the development of new military technologies and strategies.
During this time, the Pentagon underwent several renovations and updates to its security and technological systems, reflecting the changing needs of the U.S. military.
Post-Cold War and 21st Century (1990-Present)
After the fall of the Soviet Union, the role of the Pentagon shifted with the changing global landscape. It coordinated U.S. military involvement in the Gulf War, the Balkans conflicts, and various peacekeeping missions.
The Pentagon experienced a significant event in recent history on September 11, 2001, when it was attacked as part of the coordinated terrorist attacks on the United States. This led to further security enhancements and a period of intense focus on global terrorism.
In response to the 9/11 attacks, the Pentagon became the command center for the War on Terror, overseeing operations in
Afghanistan, Iraq, and other regions.
Renovations and Modernization
The Pentagon has undergone several renovations to modernize its facilities and improve security measures. These renovations have included updates to its communication and information systems, as well as structural reinforcements.
Legacy
Today, the Pentagon stands not only as a symbol of American military strength but also as a testament to the nation's ability to mobilize and respond rapidly to global challenges. It remains one of the largest office buildings in the world and continues to be an important symbol in American culture and history.
The history of the Pentagon is intertwined with the broader narrative of the United States in the 20th and 21st centuries, reflecting the country's military and political evolution.
