I had a photo published in the May/June issue of The Iowan magazine, which hit newsstands today. The magazine selected their favorite dozen photos out of the 878 displayed in the photography competition at last summer's Iowa State Fair.
The Postcard
A Photoblue Series postcard published by E.T.W. Dennis & Sons Ltd. of London and Scarborough. The card was printed in Great Britain.
The image is well below E.T.W. Dennis's usual quality.
The card was posted in Skegness on Tuesday the 6th. September 1966 to:
Mr. & Mrs. S. Parkes,
13, Melton Road,
West Bridgford,
Nottingham.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"We are quite enjoying
ourselves after all - the
weather is quite good.
See you soon,
Kath and Jock".
The Assassination of Hendrik Verwoerd
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 6th. September 1966, South African Prime Minister Hendrik Verwoerd, 64, the architect of Apartheid, was stabbed to death by Dimitri Tsafendas during a parliamentary meeting in Cape Town.
Tsafendas, a parliamentary messenger, approached Verwoerd as if to deliver a message, then pulled a six-inch knife from his uniform and stabbed Verwoerd four times in the chest and neck.
Five physicians (four of them MP's) tried to save the Prime Minister, who was dead on arrival at the Groote Schuur Hospital ten minutes later.
On the 21st. October, Tsafendas, who claimed that he was slowly being consumed from the inside by a giant tapeworm, was found to be mentally unfit to stand trial.
After being held at Robben Island, he was eventually housed at Sterkfontein Hospital in Krugersdorp, and died there in 1999 aged 81.
The First Star Trek Episode
Also on that day, Star Trek appeared for the first time anywhere on Canada's CTV Television Network, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.
Two of the stars were Canadian natives; William Shatner (Captain Kirk) was from Montreal, and James Doohan (Mr. Scott) was from Vancouver.
Famous lines from Star Trek include:
'Make it so'.
'He's dead, Jim'.
'Beam me up, Scotty'.
'I'm givin' her all she's got, Captain!'
And of course, the world's most famous split infinitive:
'To boldly go where no man
has gone before'.

Photograph taken at an altitude of Fifty two metres at 07:22am on Wednesday 9th September 2020, of a Large red slug (Arion rufus) off Chessington Avenue in Bexleyheath, Kent.
Also known as the Red slug, Chocolate arion and European red slug, these are land slugs or roundback slugs in the family Arionidae. The opening on the right side is a pneumostome or respiratory pore which feeds air to the lung. They have a striped foot fringe and pale sole, and can reach 150mm fully extended.

Description: Program published for the 1986 Ingleside Invaders baseball team. The programs were self-produced by the team under direction of their head coach Dan Harrington, with help from assistant coaches and other community members. Mr. Harrington has given his approval to the San Francisco Public Library for these publications to be reproduced here on Flickr in digital format. Mr. Harrington has written a description of these publications and the Ingleside Invaders baseball team..
"The last of the Sandlot League teams in San Francisco is the Ingleside Invaders, the only team to sign up in 1990 for the 18-and-under division of SF Rec-Park Baseball, the direct descendent of the Sandlot League known in the 1980s as the Neighborhood League. (I don't know when the Sandlot League started, but it is thought to have its origins before 1900).
"The Invaders ball club was a successful representative of the neighborhood, with players from many public, private and parochial high schools chipping in small amounts of money (no more than $25), getting to keep full uniforms; businesses donated funds (except for the Marines who still owe me fifty bucks!) while receiving ad-space for the team's self-produced publications showing stories about "the Greater Ingleside" history and contemporary times to the rest of San Francisco. The Invaders made some life-long friendships and fielded some good baseball teams!
"My recently passed father Richard Harrington took many of the photos, while my brother Richard Jr, who passed away in 1998, compiled some stats and kept book for many of the games. The 1986 paper stock was provided by the Coca-Cola bottlers on Bayshore Blvd. and printed by the team, complete with a team picture in the relatively new light rail vehicle (LRV) "streetcar" yard off Ocean Ave.
"Ingleside finished second in 1986, 87, and 88. Ingleside was surprised in a playoff game in 1989. But it did give the best example of multiple schools represented on the same summer team and a model to use for the RBI Baseball and Softball program run independently by Dan Harrington (calling in lots of favors for help) in 1997 at Crocker-Amazon and Balboa Park, and in conjunction with City College baseball courses (John Vanoncini) and Columbia Park and San Francisco Boys and Girls Clubs from 1998 to 2010."

Áron Tamási (born September 20, 1897–May 26, 1966) was a Hungarian writer. He became well-known in his native region of Transylvania and in Hungary for his stories written in his original Székely style.
Born to a Székely family in Farkaslaka (present-day Lupeni, Harghita County), he graduated in Law and Commerce at the University of Kolozsvár, Tamási emigrated to the United States in 1923, soon after Transylvania became part of Romania. He wrote his first Hungarian-language novels there, and these were soon published in Kolozsvár, to widespread acclaim. He returned home in 1926 and lived in Transylvania until 1944.
One of Tamási's most famous works from this period was a novel trilogy about the adventures of a Székely boy called Ábel, a young forest ranger living alone in the Hargita Mountains. Tamási moved to Budapest in 1944, and lived there until his death in 1966. At his request, he was buried in Székely Land.

Published in January 1894 by The Historical Publishing Company, author J. W. Buel, this book contains 300 photographs of every aspect of the fair.
The World's Fair: Columbian Exposition (also known as the Chicago World's Fair) was a world's fair held in Chicago in 1893 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' arrival in the New World in 1492. At the core of the fair was an area that quickly became known as the White City for its buildings with white stucco siding and its streets illuminated by electric lights.

Federation - H. Beam Piper [0762 - 2017-11-09]
·• Piper's Foundation • (1981) • essay by Jerry Pournelle
·x • Introduction (Federation) • (1981) • essay by John F. Carr
·2 • Omnilingual • [Federation • 1] • (1957) • novelette by H. Beam Piper

·201 • When in the Course— • (1981) • novella by H. Beam Piper
In the late 1950's into the 1960's I was of the opine that H. Beam Piper was one of the better writers of science-fiction and was deeply saddened when I read that he committed suicide on November 6, 1964 at the age of 60. I moved on to other authors and literary interest but always retained my recollected admiration for the worlds Piper created that delighted my teen-age years.
Recently at one of the few remaining used paperback bookstores in Massachusetts I found several reprinted titles of his works. The book "Federation" was one of the volumes. I recalled from the story titles having read some of them when first published and eagerly began the book.
I regret to state that I was very disappointed. He ideas and writing style have not aged gracefully. In fact the stories in this collection read like the common space operas the populated the pulps in the 50-60's which in fact they were.
Unfortunate we will never know if Mr. Piper could of developed at a writer, alas today he is a slowly forgotten footnote in the history of science-fiction and none of his titles have been reprinted for mass circulation in many years.
It is a credit to the perseverance to document his works and admiration for Piper that Jerry Pournelle and John F. Carr and others keep his name from science-fiction oblivion. Piper's life story, what little is known about this reclusive man, would I believe make for an very interesting biography.
There's only one thing I like more than receiving short collections, and that's receiving short story collections that offer something a little different from the norm (whatever the definition of 'norm' may be). Here's two for today's Daily Bookshot; one published by Saqi and the other by Telegram.
The first is a collection from Pakistani writer Aamer Hussein entitled, Turquoise (Saqi Books). Despite being an avid short story fan I've never read any of Hussein's work, which is surprising because Hussein is revered by many as being one of the greatest short story writers alive today. To date he's published five collections including this one which was first published in 2002.
Cultural exploration is of huge importance to me in my reading, as is the need to read stories which are both memorable and moving. Thankfully the blurb for Turquoise holds promise that both of these prerequisites will be met:
****
Direct and startlingly intimate, Hussein's stories are set in troubled times - in Karachi, Lahore and London - amid war, partition and military rule, the anticipation and anxiety of changing homes or cities, the mixed blessings of family life, the hopes and failures of love and work. Turquoise illuminates the passions and fears of a world more complex and more beautiful than the media images of Islam and Pakistan convey.
****
The second collection, The Blue (Telegram Books) is by Maggie Gee, the industrious novelist. I've never had the pleasure of reading the short stories of this writer either. But to be fair The Blue is Gee's debut collection of short stories, so the opportunity to read her may not have arisen quite as readily, as with say Hussein.
A debut collection it may be but Gee's The Blue seems to offer just as much depth and diversity as Hussein's does:
****
The people in The Blue try and often fail to understand the world, freeing themselves by small acts of courage, love or folly. A journalist decides to convert an evangelist in mid-air; a solicitor gives up his day job to help young artists; a Middle Eastern woman shocks her children as she walks through the heat towards the sea; a man, in a moment of madness, cuts down his neighbour's tree
These subtle fables of everyday life are set against an intricate global backdrop where life is harder for outsiders. Exquisitely written and aerated by comedy, they show human beings who struggle to live good lives.
****
So that's a brief rundown on these two very different, but very intriguing story collections. It's too soon to give you anything more of a personal opinion on either of them until I've read them. But the prospect of the reading journey that lies ahead with regards to these two books, is nothing short of thrilling.
So what about you my fellow readers. Have you ever had the pleasure (or displeasure) of reading the short stories of either of these writers?
Now this has been published here are a few more shots of Fall Out Boy live at London Dungeon with other week.
For those of you who dont live near London or know of it, the London Dungeon is now a tourist attraction, a reconstruction of old time British jails and dungeons but based in the original site. The event was around Halloween and quite apt. The band had played at Wembely Arena the night previously, so a difference in crowd of about 12,000 people.

Fingal, one of the heroes of James Macpherson's epic tale of Ossian published in the 1760's is said to have tethered his fabulous dog "Bran" to this rock. The wear and tear evident on the right hand side of the base of the rock is the result of Bran's struggles against his restraint! This shot is taken from the path leading up to the Dunollie Castle the ruin is in the centre of the picture. A nearby notice gives some of the history associated with James Macpherson and his creation: -
“With horses breath, with depth of chest,
With breadth of loin and curve in groin
And nape set far behind the head –
Such were the dogs that Fingal bred”
Following the description of Bran, the poem continues –
“ Call” said Fingal, “call to the chase,
Dogs slim and choice in traveling the moor
Call Bran of the whitest chest;
Call Neart and Ciar and Luath;
Fillan, Rymo – he is in his grave,
My son is in the sleep of death.
Fillan and Fergus blow the horn;
Let joy arise on hill and cairn,
Let deer start up in Cromla
And by the Lake of roes – their home;
The shrill sound rang throughout the wood;
A thousand dogs sprang over the heath;
A deer fell down to every dog;
Three fell to Bran alone;
And towards Fionn he turned the three
To give great joy to the king”.
James (Ossian) MacPherson 1736 - 1796.

FDA Consumer, first published in July 1972, focused principally on the information needs of consumers. It succeeded FDA Papers, established in February 1967 to convey the agency’s policies on scientific and regulatory matters. FDA Papers had replaced both the Food and Drug Review (1917) and Notices of Judgment (1908).
