PictionID:43813874 - Title:Douglas MD11 cn 48557 PH-KCC KLM SFO 24Sep99 [RJF] - Catalog:17 - Filename:17.S_000516.tif - --------Image from the René Francillon Photo Archive. Having had his interest in aviation sparked by being at the receiving end of B-24s bombing occupied France when he was 7-yr old, René Francillon turned aviation into both his vocation and avocation. Most of his professional career was in the United States, working for major aircraft manufacturers and airport planning/design companies. All along, he kept developing a second career as an aviation historian, an activity that led him to author more than 50 books and 400 articles published in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and elsewhere. Far from “hanging on his spurs,” he plans to remain active as an author well into his eighties.-------PLEASE TAG this image with any information you know about it, so that we can permanently store this data with the original image file in our Digital Asset Management System.--------------SOURCE INSTITUTION: San Diego Air and Space Museum Archive
First, some apologies.
1. I'm sorry for the selective colouring ... I'm not really, I like it so there.
2. These weird blocks of colour I keep playing with. I kinda like it, I kinda don't but that's where the processing took me so ... it stays.
3. The nudity. There's just no call for it. But I thought I'd look even more stupid wearing a t-shirt and the swimming hat.
I solemnly promise that none of the above will feature next week.
This is a follow up to Week 12 because I did my 5k swim yesterday.
I had great support from my brother in fitness disco~stu and Lydia and the kids came along about 30 minutes from the end to help me through the last 40-50 lengths, and were waiting for me at the end of the pool when I finished my last lap.
It took me 1 hour 51 minutes to do the 200 lengths which was quicker than I thought I would be. So far I've raised £160 but donations can still be made so if you've got spare change rattling around spend it here!
I got this awesome swimming hat and a big shiny medal.

Paris in the morning, with Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Seine, the Beauborg cultural center thingy and all. Let it never be said I don't shoot sightseeing spots.
I had seen this on stop at The Drapery,a quick reference to the Timetable told me that it was due at this point at 11:28. A quickish sprint back to the Car Park followed,would I get there and in position in time.As I was driving along Harlestone Road there it was just ahead,so I was in time to park up and set up my shot as it did its orbit around Rye Hill,and the sun was out too......

IAIN BAIN TORE took his FERGUSON BROWN tractor along to the Marie Curie fundraising model and vintage day at the Black Isle Farmers Showfield it was the first model of tractor in the World with draught control
Yet another busy day at work. Went for a quick walk through the Barbican and back along the highwalk at lunchtime, with my two colleagues.
I detoured to Paternoster Square on my way home this evening, to photograph the glowing daffodils that have been 'planted' there in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care. I did get quite a nice shot looking up at St Paul's with the daffodils in the foreground, but I also quite liked this sneaky shot I got of this very keen phone photographer - and I'm thinking I'd like to go back with my wider angle lens for another go at the other shot. Watch this space....
Spent ages looking at Irish holiday cottages again tonight. Haven't made a decision or a booking yet though!

This is a lino block print of Marie Skłodowska-Curie (7 November 1867 – 4 July 1934) shows the famous Polish-born, naturalized-French physicist and chemist at work in her lab. The contents of her lab glassware appropriately glow-in-the-dark!
Marie Curie was the first woman to wind a Nobel prize, the only woman to ever win TWO Nobel prizes, and the only person ever to win in two different science: physics and chemistry! She was also the first female professor at the University of Paris, and in 1995 became the first woman to be entombed on her own merits in the Panthéon in Paris. Born Maria Salomea Skłodowska in Warsaw, she studied secretly at the Floating University there before moving to Paris where she earned higher scientific degrees, met her PhD supervisor and future husband Pierre.
She was one of the pioneers who helped explain radioactivity, a term she coined. She was the one who first developped a means of isolating radioacitve isotopes and discovered not one, but two new elements: polonium (named for her native country) and radium. She also pioneered radioactive medicine, proposing the treatment of tumors with radioactivity. She founded medical research centres, the Curie Institutes in Paris and Warsaw which are still active today. She created the first field radiology centres during World War I. She died in 1934 from aplastic anemia brought on by exposure to radiation, including arrying test tubes of radium in her pockets during research and her World War I service in her mobile X-ray units.
Her pioneering work explaining radioactivity earned her the 1903 Nobel Prize in Physics with her husband Pierre Curie and with physicist Henri Becquerel. At first, the Committee intended to honour only Pierre and Becquerel, but Swedish mathematician Magnus Goesta Mittag-Leffler, an advocate of women in science alerted Pierre to the situation. After Pierre's complaint, Marie's name was added to the nomination. The 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to her "in recognition of her services to the advancement of chemistry by the discovery of the elements radium and polonium, by the isolation of radium and the study of the nature and compounds of this remarkable element."
Her life and legacy are truly extraordinary!
Both of the elements she discovered are radioactive, meaning that they spontaneously give off radiation. All of the isotopes of polonium emit alpha particles, but Polonium-210 will emit a blue glow which is caused by excitation of surrounding air. Radium emits alpha, beta and gamma particles - that is 2 protons and 2 neutrons, electrons as well as x-rays. Thus, I've shown her sample surrounded by the symbols of these particles: the straight and wiggly lined arrows, and made the sample with glow-in-the-dark ink. While the materials she discovered and worked with would have glowed due to radioactivity, never fear... these prints glow due to phosphorescence - a different process which is not dangerous. The ink will absorb UV light (for instance, from sunlight) and re-emit it in the dark.
The linocut is printed on Japanese kozo paper 9.25" by 12.5" (23.5 cm by 32 cm) in an edition of eight.
