The Postcard
A postcard that was photographed and published by R. Wilkinson & Co. of Trowbridge. The card was printed in Germany.
The card was posted in Winscombe on Friday the 16th. April 1915 to:
Miss Mayers,
'Hermosa',
Conway Road,
Paignton,
Devon.
The long message that was squeezed on to the divided back of the card was as follows:
"c/o Mrs. Pocock,
Bay Tree House,
Shipham,
Winscombe,
Somerset.
16/4/15.
Dear Janice,
I was very pleased to get a letter
from you yesterday & to hear that
you are all well, and that things
are going on all right with plenty
to do as there always is.
I am getting on very well & still
improving in health.
I went to Axbridge yesterday in
the morning, and in the afternoon
we went to Burrington Combe, a
place where the hymn Rock of
Ages was composed by the Rev.
Toplady - a nice old cleft in the
rock.
There were 18 of us from the
Hydro. Some of us walked round,
others in motor.
We boiled a kettle and had tea in
the open. The first they have had
this year, but they often have a
picnic in the summer, it was fine.
Glad to hear the soldiers are still
staying on.
I have not heard from Harold, I
expect his time is well taken up.
Glad to hear he has been home
and is well.
I should like you to see the hills
round here they are fine.
So I will conclude with love to all.
Yours affectionately,
R. Lenman".
It is possible that the sender of the card was recuperating after being wounded in the Great War.
The Grounding of a British Submarine
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 16th. April 1915, British submarine HMS E15 ran aground at Kepez, Çanakkale, Turkey. The vessel was shelled by Ottoman forces while stranded, killing seven crew members including the sub's commander.
The surviving crew members were captured and taken to Istanbul where six of them died during imprisonment.
The Grounding of SS Eglantine
Also on that day, British cargo ship SS Eglantine ran aground at Filey, Yorkshire, England. There was no loss of lives, but the ship was a total loss.
The First Catapult Launch
Also on the 16th. April 1915, the United States Navy conducted the first aircraft catapult launch from a floating platform at the Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida.
'The Actor and the Rube'
The day also marked the release of the silent film 'The Actor and the Rube', starring Riley Chamberlin and Boyd Marshall. The film received widely positive reviews for its low-key humour and less reliance on slapstick comedy.
Electromagnetic fields are dangerous to our health which is clearly specified by researchers, but the degree of severity is still unknown. It is true that electromagnetic causes EMF sensitivity that has no specified symptoms. But no matter whether they cause any harmful health issues or not, the presence if these fields are not good for you.

I learned of this method of grounding a SON dynohub from a photo in JP Weigle's Flickr:

My mechanical skills are very primitive and I know next to nothing about electronics.
The funny looking pliers are called safety wire twisters. Safety wire is stainless steel and comes in different diameters; I used 0.025" and it was very easy to work with.
Sinking and grounding, following and guiding the energy, movement and stillness - basic Qi Gong practice.

A barge standing by lighters crude oil off a grounded barge near mile marker 355 in the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway on Oct. 29, 2013. Two barges grounded Oct. 27, carrying a total of about two million gallons of crude oil. U.S. Coast Guard photograph.
The tug Hook Point rests on the Gulf of Alaska coast, 60 miles southeast of Cordova, Alaska, July 24, 2013. The tug's mechanical system holding the tug's integrated barge in place was broken when river currents caused the vessel to swing broadside into the waves, lifting the vessel up and then down directly onto large pieces of river ice.

The MTR West Rail Line links urban Hong Kong to the New Towns located in the western half of the New Territories.
4470. Debris still swirls through the sky above the distressed frigate. She is now on the West Beach sandbanks but daylight shows the remaining crew's efforts during the wild night to secure the ship upright have been met with success.
In the circumstances it looks like a quite seaman-like effort.

The last few days we have had severe flooding in most parts of the U.K. and in North Wales
We live up on a bit of a hill, But we still had minor flooding at the rear garden! This provided excellent HF Grounding around my Aerial system and i managed to work a station on CW shortwave in Antarctica!
