My New Novel.
B♭ (B Flat)
— The darkest hour comes just before dawn —
The dawn in New York brought that phrase back to mind.
It was something Amir once heard from Professor Zakaria of the Faculty of Engineering at the Islamic University.
The professor, in his lifetime, had struggled between theory and reality, yet instilled in his disciples a calm and unshakable resolve.
Amir studied electrical engineering; Rafi Ghannam, architecture.
Each possessed talents that complemented the other.
After mastering the structures of the world, Rafi had gone on to extend his knowledge into electrical engineering, reaching from machinery to programs.
To the two of them, the vulnerabilities of America’s IT networks were but an open book.
In the dim underground floor, where bare fluorescent lights flickered, Rafi crouched at the intersection of the switchboard and the drainage duct.
Beneath his electrician’s vest and helmet, the red earth–colored scarf of Gaza wrapped his neck.
Amir stood beside him, scuffing his dusty work boots against the floor, fighting down his unease.
“Hurry. The morning shift will be here soon.”
“Quiet. Every sound echoes down here.”
Rafi answered evenly, opening his toolbox.
Inside lay a modified pressure switch and a block of C4, black and light-absorbing, gleaming like coal.
The device was to be set in the hidden recess where the structural beam and wiring shaft crossed—a “node” that, once sealed, could never be retrieved.
“Once it’s buried here, no one will ever find it.”
“...But are you sure? Is five years really the right time?”
“It must be five years. When the building stands complete, when it has been forgotten—then the blast will become the return of memory.”
Amir studied his profile and nodded silently.
Every motion of Rafi’s hand, each measured breath, carried the authority of a father, a teacher.
The hand that once learned to build was now preparing to destroy.
A slow tide of trust and kinship welled in Amir’s chest.
The sound of a fan turning, the rasp of chalk on blackboard—these rose in Rafi’s memory.
In the night lecture hall of the university, he had filled his notebook with shear angles of beams and the breaking points of concrete.
The lecturer, pointing to the diagram on the blackboard, had said quietly:
“When a structure collapses, it is not from defect. It follows the very will of its design.”
The classroom had fallen utterly silent at those words.
To know what would sway, what would endure, what would crack with sound during a vibration test—that knowledge was what could transform collapse into form.
That winter, Rafi’s family lost their home to an Israeli airstrike along the coast.
Despair turned to rage, rage to resolve, and resolve gave strength to his hands.
Amir, too, carried the same wound, and shared in that resolve.
Five years earlier, Rafi had begun to set up pirate radio.
Through networks of Caribbean and Hispanic immigrant communities, he passed messages quietly.
Every social platform and smartphone was under watch.
They restricted themselves to the barest communications, leaving only casual, trivial exchanges for daily use.
When he pressed the switch, a faint click was swallowed into the night’s silence.
A small red lamp lit up, linking him to nearby companions.
At two in the morning, a woman’s voice drifted from FM 87.9.
Through the static hush, a poem unfurled:
“If the world should end, I want to be singing alone.”
The verse Rafi chose was the emblem of his quiet resolve.
Amir listened to that voice while gazing at Rafi’s back.
What they undertook was not mere destruction—it was the embodiment of lost memory and anger, the crystallization of their trust and mutual understanding.
In darkness and silence, their plan advanced steadily.
The theory of architecture and the principles of electrical engineering, the pain of the past, and the will of those who had survived—all of it flowed quietly forward, converging toward a future act of ruin.

僕の新しい小説。
B♭ （ビーフラット）
ーー 夜明け前が、一番暗い ーー
ニューヨークの夜明けは、その言葉を思い出させた。アミールが、イスラム大学工学部のザカリア教授から聞いた言葉だ。教授は生前、理論と現実の狭間で苦悩しつつも、弟子たちに冷静な意思を植え付けた。アミールは電気工学を、ラフィ・ガンナムは建築学を学び、互いに補完し合う才能を持っていた。ラフィは世界中の構造物を理解した後、電気工学へ知識を広げ、電子機器からプログラムまで手を伸ばしていた。アメリカの脆弱なITネットワークを熟知することなど、二人にとっては容易いことだった。
地下フロアの蛍光灯がむき出しの薄暗い空間で、ラフィは配電盤と排水ダクトの交差部にしゃがみ込んだ。電工業者のベストとヘルメットの下、ガザの赤土色のスカーフが彼の首を覆う。アミールはその横で、埃まみれの作業靴を床で擦りながら、緊張を抑えていた。
「早くしてくれ。もうすぐ朝の組が来る」
「静かにしろ、音が響く」
ラフィは冷静に答え、工具箱を開いた。中には改造された圧力スイッチと、光を吸い込むように黒光りするC4が収まっていた。仕掛けるのは、構造梁と配線シャフトが交差する“ノード”の背面——完成すれば、二度と取り外すことのできない場所だ。
「ここに埋めたら、二度と誰にも見つからない」
「……でも、本当に５年後でいいのか？」
「５年経った時こそ意味がある。建物が完成し、忘れ去られた時に——爆破は記憶の復活になる」
アミールは横顔を見つめ、静かに頷いた。ラフィの手の動き、呼吸の一つ一つが、師としての父のように頼もしく感じられた。建築を学んだ者の手が、今、建築を破壊する準備をしている。信頼と共感の感覚が、胸の奥にじわりと広がった。
扇風機の回る音と乾いた黒板の響きが、ラフィの記憶を呼び覚ます。大学の夜の講義室で、彼は梁の剪断角とコンクリートの破断点をノートに描き込んだ。講師は黒板の図を指し、静かに言った。
「構造が崩壊するのは、欠陥ではなく“設計の意思”に従ったときです」
その言葉に教室は静まり返った。振動試験でどこが揺れ、どこが耐え、どこが音を立てるか。それを理解することが、崩壊を“形”に変える。
その冬、ラフィの家族はイスラエルによる湾岸の空爆で家を失った。絶望は怒りに、怒りは意思に変わり、ラフィの手に力を宿した。アミールもまた、同じ痛みを知る者として、その意思を分かち合っていた。
５年前、ラフィはパイレーツラジオを設置し始めた。カリブ系やヒスパニック系の移民コミュニティのネットワークを利用し、伝令を静かに届ける。SNSやスマートフォンはすべて監視されている。彼らは必要最小限の通信にとどめ、日常的な他愛ないやり取りだけに絞った。
スイッチを押すと微かなクリック音が夜の静けさに吸い込まれる。小さな赤いランプが灯り、近隣の同胞たちに接続された。
午前2時、FM87.9から女の声が流れた。砂嵐のような静寂の中、詩が紡がれる。
「この世界が終わるなら、私はひとりで歌っていたい」
ラフィが選んだ一節は、彼の静かな決意の象徴だった。
アミールはその声を聞きながら、ラフィの背中を見つめた。彼らが行うのは単なる破壊ではない——失われた記憶と怒りの象徴であり、互いの信頼と理解の結晶でもあった。闇と静寂の中で、二人の計画は着実に進行する。建築の理論と電気工学、過去の痛み、そして生き延びた者の意志が、未来の破壊へと静かに繋がっていくのだ。

"Put a tiger in your tank" is one of the very best known petrol advertising slogans of all time. Along with "go well, go Shell" it is enduring and would be one that many members of the public would recall.
A poster stamp advertisement for the Eleventh Annual Convention and Exposition of the National Association of Retail Clothiers and Furnishers, which was held at the Grand Central Palace in New York City from September 8 to 12, 1924. For more information about the event, see "Program for Retailers' Convention," Clothier and Furnisher, August 1924, pp. 77-78.
For a different exposition held the previous year at the Grand Central Palace, see the poster stamp for Eastern Apple Exposition and Fruit Show, New York City, Nov. 3rd to 10th, 1923.

I will post several pictures of advertisements found in streets, airports, etc...I like to find curious reflections that integrate them into urban life. This one is from a street in Barcelona, and I found cool the graffitti reflection. I hope you like it.
Voy a poner varias fotos de fotos de anuncios encontradas en la calle, aeropuertos, etc. Me gusta buscar reflejos curiosos que los integren en la vida urbana. Este es de una calle de Barcelona, y el reflefo del graffitti me pareció curioso. Espero que os guste.
Ribble B-series Leyland National 805 was sporting this 'hybrid' livery when photographed on Manchester's Cannon Street in October 1990. A flashback to its early days under NBC auspices when many similar vehicles were entering service with no white relief. Just behind is GM Buses Olympian 3132, which I realised when uploading this image, was the former Banks's Brewery allover advertisement illustrated in a previous, recent upload.

New radio advertisement for Drone Haven Radio!
The radio advertisements are for brands and billboards on the sim, all in theme.
Take a listen here if you like and or go to Drone Haven and listen to land radio, there is a special radio stream with cool music and so far we made 7 radio ads for it.
Drone Haven in SL :
From Vienna in 1961 an advertisement for Porsche cars.
With the programme for Carmen conducted by Herbert von Karajan.
Classic Jeep advertisement celebrating the CJ-5 Laredo. It's no wonder the Jeep brand has stayed on track for over seven decades - the capability theme has never changed. Read the copy from 1980 with it's strong style and resale value story and it could be substituted for a JK of today.
Copy:
The legendary Jeep vehicles have been protecting forests, transporting troops, delivering mail, plowing snow, winning races and weathering storms for more than a quarter of a century. Longer than a lot of vehicles have even existed.
They've given American drivers more outward mobility, rugged performance and pure fun than any single car in history. And they've held onto their value like they've held onto their legendary design, transcending passing styles season after season, year after year.
But today's Jeep CJ is more than its famous four wheels driving into the sunset. It's the option of contoured buckets, room for four, carpeting, air conditioning, stereo ... hardtop. soft top, no top at all. And something you'll appreciate every time you drive: more miles per gallon than any 4-wheeler made in America. No other vehicle can meet your demands and desires in quite the same way.
Jeep CJ wasn't born a legend. It had to earn the respect of the world's toughest drivers, and keeps on earning it every day. On wilderness trails and unplowed streets. On the job and out on the town. That's why the legend lives on.
