Forget-me-Knot
Confusion reigns in David Tristram’s superb comedy. Is anyone who they say they are?
Production kindly sponsored by Vectis Rotary.

Forget-Me-Knot, by David Tristram, tells the tale of a man who may or may not be Robert Zeinfeld, found wandering and suffering from amnesia. Detective Inspector Monroe is the man charged with working out who this mystery man is, with the help – or rather hindrance – of Mrs Zeinfeld and his own wife Samantha.
Robert is a confused man, not of his own doing – a bump on the head resulting in amnesia and a night in the cells have attributed to that. Inspector Monroe is also a confused man, but he has nobody to blame but himself.
Robert has been found wandering the streets in his confused state. His Filofax knows who he is – but does anybody else? Monroe is on the case – or seems to think he is. More confusion rains down when Robert’s wife is summoned and doesn’t know what’s going on either; but what she does know is that Robert shouldn’t be anywhere near where he was found and probably with a mistress, whom he definitely shouldn’t be anywhere near. When the mistress turns up, utter confusion is unleashed upon the stage. Is Robert who everybody else says he is? Does he really have amnesia? If he doesn’t then what is he doing with a wife like that in the first place? Is anybody actually who they maintain they are?
Forget-Me-Knot has been described as ‘one of the funniest British farces … with superb laugh-out-loud comedy’. We think you’ll agree!

On May 23rd 2009 The Science Museum in London opened up the Apollo 10 capsule that they have on display so that visitors can see inside the space craft. This happened once only.
Original photo is by NASA and is found online at Lunar Atlas site of the Lunar and Planetary Institute, Houston Texas. Their description provided of sample 65326 is as follows:
Moderately coherent cataclastic anorthosite; has a "bronze colored" streak.
I enhanced the original poor quality photo to bring out the details of the specimen. the bronze streak is same as in my specimens.

His hand finally through the bloody ALUS,
He will be unable to protect himself by sea,
Between two rivers he will fear the military hand,
The black and angry one will make him repent of it.

Looks like Dad had us sneak up past the barricade for a photo. Very typical.

Pompeii, Temple of Apollo
2nd century BC
The Campania in the Roman era exhibition recently opened on the ground floor opposite the impressive Farnese collection. The 20 rooms are filled with sculptures and paintings from the 2nd century BC to the 3rd century that decorated public buildings in Naples and southern Italy (including some from Pompeii and Herculaneum).

Ancient city of Cyrene, Shahhat, Libya.
Cyrene was an ancient Greek colony and then a Roman city in present-day Shahhat, Libya, the oldest and most important of the five Greek cities in the region. It gave eastern Libya the classical name Cyrenaica that it has retained to modern times.
Cyrene lies in a lush valley in the Jebel Akhdar uplands. The city was named after a spring, Kyre, which the Greeks consecrated to Apollo. It was also the seat of the Cyrenaics, a famous school of philosophy in the 3rd century BC, founded by Aristippus, a disciple of Socrates. It has been nicknamed then as "Athens of Africa"

This scene from the highly popular 1995 film, Apollo 13, takes place moments after an oxygen tank exploded in the Service Module. The Guidance, Navigation, and Control ("GNC") Flight Controller warns Flight Director Gene Kranz (played by Ed Harris) that the spacecraft may rotate into “gimbal lock.”
"Gimbal lock" would align two or more gyroscope gimbals and then flip them out of position. The crew would then have to perform the difficult task of realigning the gyro platform using the space sextant, telescope, and computer keyboard you see in this display case. Of note, portions of this unit actually flew on the dramatic Apollo 13 mission in 1970.
Portions of this Primary Guidance, Navigation, and Control System (PGNCS) (pronounced "pings") unit also flew on Apollo 14, 15, 16, as well the three manned Skylab space station missions. The telescope and sextant you can actually look through were used by the astronauts traveling to the Moon on Apollo 14 and 16.
Because of a recall of beryllium metals throughout the government in the 1970s and 1980s for critical defense needs, the existence of a complete Apollo PGNCS, like this, is rare. This is one of only two complete units known to exist. The other is at the Draper Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

The god’s face is round, the low forehead rises slightly at the bottom, the upper eyelid is a bit heavy, the eyes (which were painted) are long and narrow, the mouth is small and gently arched and the chin is a little strong: Apollo’s expression shows divine calm, sure inspiration and mistress of himself.
The god’s hair are awkwardly reproduced. The hair are arranged in long wavy locks coarsely carved with the drill: the modern sculptor was unable to reproduce and translate in marble the outward character of the original bronze masterwork.

The Apollo survival kit provided 48 hours of survival supplies for the three-man crew. Displayed are the contents of one of two rucksacks.
Radio Beacon
The survival radio was a hand-held, dry-cell-battery-powered, electronic signal and voice communications device. The radio could be operated within the SC by using a connector cable to the SC antenna. A constant emergency-signal and voice-contact device was required to aid rescue teams if postlanding recovery was delayed. Voice reception increased from approximately 30 to 120 miles. Voice modulation improved and radio weight was reduced from 6 pounds to 4 pounds. Beacon range reception also increased to 120 nautical miles, for search aircraft operating at 10,000 feet.
Survival Blanket
Three pieces of nylon-Mylar material that are 60 by 42 inches are provided for the Apollo missions. The material could be used for thermal protection and for signal purposes.
Water Containers
Three water containers were included in the Apollo survival kit. A 1/4-inch-radius indention forming an "X" on each of the two largest sides of the water containers solved a deflection problem which occurred because of pressure differential. A few crewmen also stated that the aluminum caused the water to have an undesirable taste.
