An unsung hero from the very early days of aviation. Lawrence Hargrave was born in Greenwich, London in 1850, moving to Australia very early in his life. An engineer by trade his experiments and pioneering work came late in his life.
He never took out any patents on his work or achievements, but published the results of what he found out for others to follow on from.
His best know achievement happened on 12th November 1894 when using a series of tandem box kites of his own design Lawrence Hargraves was able to lift himself about sixteen feet in to the air at Stanwell Park, New South Wales.
He also progressed the development of curved aerofoils and rotary engines. The rotary engine that he experimented with in the 1880's was made from materials available at that time and proved to be too heavy for practical use.
Lawrence Hargrave also did work with hydroplanes and a form of jet engine.
Much of his work and experiments took place at Stanwell Park that today is a favoured place for hang gliding and a noted tourist attraction.
His monument sits on the 980' high Bald Hill overlooking Stanwell Park.

Not as exciting as Christine's recent publication but still.. :)
By the way, my image was found via Flickr and the publisher contacted me for permission to use it and pricing. It is the in-flight magazine for Air Jamaica...
Self-published magazine out of New York appears to be quite rare. I couldn't find a single issue extant through any online bookseller or held by any library via Worldcat
This is my nightstand this week; a result of bronchitis, allergies and asthma. I am NOT amused.

The Ray Bradbury Chronicles - From 2001
by Mark Allen
Ray Bradbury. The very name will elicit memories of utter amazement and wonder for those who have thrilled to the words of his many fictional tales. To some, this man is science fiction, in all of its glory, and in all of the ways it is able to inspire, captivate, and completely absorb the reader. It's no wonder, then, that a three-volume set of graphic adaptations, or comic books, if you will, are at the top of this columnist's list of works that should be read by those infinitely familiar with the genre, as well as those who simply enjoy a good story.
My friends, allow me to introduce you to The Ray Bradbury Chronicles.
Chronicles is an anthology series, in which the stories are as diverse as the artistic styles used to illustrate them. Some of the greatest graphic story illustrators in the business, such as Tim Truman, P. Craig Russell, Dave Gibbons, Al Williamson and Wally Wood, get to express their artistic impressions of some of Bradbury's most unusual, and memorable work.
It is not, however, all science fiction, as the man whom many consider to be one of the greatest fiction writers of all time penned stories that were as chilling and macabre, as others were brimming with images of rockets, robots, space-travel and aliens. In fact, there may be no better way to experience and appreciate the diversity of Bradbury's work than with graphic adaptations. From his stories of colorful, nearly utopian futuristic worlds, to those futures where mankind's love for war, as well as his most base characteristics lead to utter ruin, Bradbury's sheer imagination shines through the medium of sequential art.
Published in 1983, "Berni Wrightson Master of the Macbre #3" is a cool comic book cover because of the detail. An anguished figure hints at what's to be found inside. There is a lot of drama in this cover. It makes you want to pick it up and read it- if you dare!

Per la prima volta a Vigevano un festival che cavalca l’ondata della musica più alternativa.
La serata si muoverà tra suoni hip hop, dubstep, disco, bass, electro, funk. Tutto quello che ci si può aspettare da un festival che punta all’universo della cultura club giovanile.
Pensato e gestito dagli stessi ragazzi vigevanesi, il Supergrass è un regalo alla città. Una perla per chi segue certi suoni e non avrebbe mai pensato di ritrovarseli sotto casa, in un centro come Vigevano che non ha strutture club di un certo tipo.
La location, unica, del castello di Vigevano, offre uno spazio incredibile. Un’arena secolare che ospiterà migliaia di giovani pronti a ballare dalle 18 fino all’una di notte.
Elisa Bee, reginetta della bass music italiana e madrina musicale di 55dsl.
Studio e radio producer, ma soprattutto dj, Elisa si muove all’interno della club life in tutti i suoi ambiti.
Il mondo del djing diventa il suo habitat naturale nel 2007, dopo una laurea in Architettura non proprio desiderata e l’acquisto della sua prima console. Siamo in Sardegna, terra natale di Elisa, dove tra party in spiaggia e noiosi inverni prende vita la sperimentazione tra i suoni dell’electro house, UK garage, hiphop ma anche reggae e dub.
The Postcard
A postcard that was published by F. Frith & Co. Ltd. of Reigate. The card was posted in West Horsley using a halfpenny stamp on Thursday the 10th. August 1916. It was sent to:
Mr. S. G. Elliott,
J. Spicer & Sons Ltd.,
50, Upper Thames St.,
London.
The pencilled message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Having a grand time,
perfect weather.
I walked to Shere on
Monday, pity we took
the wrong road on the
Saturday as it is such a
beautiful walk from
here.
J.G.L."
The Sinking of the Kasagi
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 10th. August 1916, the Japanese cruiser Kasagi sank after running aground in the Tsugaru Strait.
The Battle of the Somme
Also on that day, the official British documentary propaganda film The Battle of the Somme premièred in London.
In the first six weeks of general release, 20 million people viewed it.
Addie L. Ballou
The 10th. August 1916 also marked the death of the American poet activist Addie L. Ballou.
Addie, who was born in 1838, was a leading advocate for women's suffrage, temperance and prison reform.
She was also the author of poetry collections Driftwood and The Padre’s Dream and Other Poems.
Charles Dawson
The day also marked the death of Charles Dawson, British amateur archaeologist.
Charles, who was born on the 11th. July 1864 in Preston, Lancashire, was charged with fraud on several archaeological discoveries including the Piltdown Man.
Charles was a British amateur archaeologist who claimed to have made a number of archaeological and palaeontological discoveries that were later exposed to be frauds. These forgeries included the Piltdown Man (Eoanthropus Dawsoni), a unique set of bones that he claimed to have found in 1912 in Sussex.
Many technological methods such as fluorine testing indicate that this discovery was a hoax, and Dawson, the only one with the skill and knowledge to generate this forgery, was a major suspect.
The eldest of three sons, Dawson moved with his family from Preston, Lancashire, to Hastings, Sussex, when he was still very young. He initially studied law, in order to become his father's apprentice, and then pursued a hobby of collecting and studying fossils.
Dawson made a number of seemingly important fossil finds. Amongst these were teeth from a previously unknown species of mammal, later named Plagiaulax Dawsoni in his honour.
Other Dawson discoveries were three new species of dinosaur, one later named Iguanodon Dawsoni; and a new form of fossil plant, Salaginella Dawsoni.
In appreciation for Charles' donation of fossils, the Natural History Museum awarded him the title of "Honorary Collector".
In 1885, he was elected a fellow of the Geological Society as a result of his numerous discoveries. He was then elected a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1895. He was now Charles Dawson F.G.S., F.S.A at the age of 31, without a university degree to his name.
-- Chales Dawson's Alleged Discoveries
In 1889, Dawson was a co-founder of the Hastings and St. Leonards Museum Association, one of the first voluntary museum friends' groups organised in Great Britain.
Dawson worked on a voluntary basis as a member of the Museum Committee, in charge of the acquisition of artifacts and historical documents.
His interest in archaeology developed, and he had an uncanny knack for making spectacular discoveries, leading The Sussex Daily News to name him the "Wizard of Sussex".
In 1893, Dawson investigated a curious flint mine full of prehistoric, Roman and medieval artifacts in the Lavant Caves, near Chichester, and probed two tunnels beneath Hastings Castle.
In the same year, he presented the British Museum with a Roman statuette from Beauport Park that was made, uniquely for the period, of cast iron. Other discoveries followed, including a strange form of hafted Neolithic stone axe and a well-preserved ancient timber boat.
Charles analysed ancient quarries, re-examined the Bayeux Tapestry, and produced the first conclusive study of Hastings Castle. He later found fake evidence for the final phases of Roman occupation in Britain at Pevensey Castle in Sussex.
Investigating unusual elements of the natural world, Dawson presented a petrified toad inside a flint nodule, discovered a large supply of natural gas at Heathfield in East Sussex, reported on a sea-serpent in the English Channel, observed a new species of human, and found a strange goldfish/carp hybrid.
It was even reported that he was experimenting with phosphorescent bullets as a hindrance to Zeppelin attacks on London during the Great War.
-- Piltdown Man
Dawson's most famous "find" was the 1912 discovery of the Piltdown Man, which was billed as the "missing link" between humans and other great apes. Following his death in 1916, no further "discoveries" were made at Piltdown.
Questions about the Piltdown find were raised from the beginning, first by Arthur Keith, but also by palaeontologists and anatomists from the United States and Europe.
Defence of the validity of the fossils was led by Arthur Smith Woodward at the Natural History Museum in London. The debate was rancorous at times, and the response to those disputing the finds often became personally abusive.
Challenges to Piltdown Man arose again in the 1920s, but were again dismissed.
-- Posthumous Analysis
In 1949, further questions were raised about the Piltdown Man and its authenticity, which led in 1953 to the conclusive demonstration that Piltdown was a hoax.
Since then, a number of Dawson's other finds have also been shown to be forged or planted.
In 2003, Miles Russell of Bournemouth University published the results of his investigation into Dawson's antiquarian collection, and concluded that at least 38 specimens were clear fakes.
Russell has noted that:
"Dawson's whole academic career appears
to have been one built upon deceit, sleight
of hand, fraud and deception, the ultimate
gain being international recognition."
Among these were the teeth of a reptile/mammal hybrid, Plagiaulax Dawsoni, purportedly "found" in 1891; the creature's teeth had been filed down in the same way that the teeth of Piltdown Man were to be some 20 years later).
Other 'finds' included:
-- The so-called "shadow figures" on the walls
of Hastings Castle
-- A unique hafted stone axe
-- The Bexhill boat (a hybrid seafaring vessel)
-- The Pevensey bricks (allegedly the latest
datable "finds" from Roman Britain)
-- The contents of the Lavant Caves (a fraudulent
"flint mine"
-- The Beauport Park "Roman" statuette (a
hybrid iron object)
-- The Bulverhythe hammer (shaped with an
iron knife in the same way as the Piltdown
elephant bone implement was later shaped)
-- A fraudulent "Chinese" bronze vase
-- The Brighton "toad in the hole" (a toad
entombed within a flint nodule)
-- The English Channel sea serpent
-- The Uckfield horseshoe (another hybrid
iron object)
-- The Lewes prick spur.
Of Dawson's antiquarian publications, most demonstrate evidence of plagiarism, or at least naive referencing. As Russell wrote:
"Piltdown was not a 'one-off' hoax,
more the culmination of a life's work."
Dawson claimed to have discovered a collection of fossils that had been dug up in Piltdown, Sussex, including an ape-like jawbone and a human-like skull.
However, after his death, it was proven that the remains were evidently forged. For years, the creator of these remains was unknown, though it was then determined, through a meticulous inspection of his finds and collections, that Charles Dawson was most likely responsible for this forgery.
-- Unmasking the Hoax
As more human fossils were discovered, it appeared that they had little in common with the Piltdown Man. The Piltdown Man was re-examined through new, rigorous technological methods which ultimately uncovered the hoax.
A fluoride-based test, a chemical test that dates fossils by the amount of fluorine that buried bones absorb from the soil, was used to date the Piltdown remains. This test, validated by a nitrogen-based test, dated the skull to not more than 50,000 years old, far more recent than Dawson proposed, and dated the jawbone to decades old.
This meant that the Piltdown Man could not have been an ancestor of modern humans. Furthermore, chemical tests displayed that the fossils had been artificially stained by iron and chromium to appear medieval.
Also, CT scans used to analyzed the inside of the bones indicated that many bones were loaded with gravel and were then sealed with putty.
Furthermore, X-rays indicate that the teeth have been flattened by filing or grinding in order to appear like human teeth.
Lastly, in 2016, a team of British researchers used DNA studies to provide added evidence for the provenance of Piltdown Man. It was determined that the Piltdown I jawbone and the Piltdown II molar tooth came from a single orangutan, and the cranial bones came from primitive humans.
Analyses of the material also exhibited the forger's lack of professional training, as the materials had fractured bones, putty that had set too fast, and cracked teeth.
-- Revealing the Forger
Most agree that the Piltdown Man was forged by a single individual, and that this was most probably Charles Dawson. Dawson was the suspected perpetrator in this hoax for many reasons.
First, Dawson had a previous history of deception: he was responsible for about 38 forgeries, he had plagiarized a historical account of Hastings Castle, and had pretended to act on behalf of the Sussex Archeological Society. However, most people were unaware of this.
Second, he was majorly involved in the Piltdown findings. He initiated the story of the Piltdown finds, and was the one who contacted Woodward about them. He was the sole person to have seen the Piltdown II site, and never disclosed the facts about this site.
Third, the fact that the techniques used to create both Piltdown I and Piltdown II were so similar suggests a single forger.
Fourth, Dawson was the only person present at every discovery; nothing was ever discovered at the site when he was not physically present, and no other fossils were subsequently found after he had died.
Fifth, not only did he have access to the museum and antiquarian shops that carried these objects, he was also a popular collector, a prolific networker, and knew what the British scientific community expected in a missing link between apes and humans.
It has been suggested that Dawson's motive for this forgery had been his strong desire for scientific recognition, and to join the archeological Royal Society.
Between 1883 and 1909, Dawson wrote 50 publications, though none were important enough to elevate his career. In 1909, he wrote a letter to Smith Woodward, with an unhappy heart, saying that he wanted to uncover a significant discovery, though he never seemed to come across one.
Just six weeks later, Dawson's wife wrote a letter to the Home Secretary, pleading on behalf of Dawson's expertise.
Sorrowful that he never unearthed a major discovery, he created the Piltdown Man which resulted in his election to the Royal Society.
Although there is not a substantial amount of evidence, many believe that he received aid from other experts such as Teilhard de Chardin, who worked with Dawson on early excavations, and Sir Arthur Smith Woodward, Keeper of the Department at the Natural History Museum, a friend of Dawson, and co-author of the announcement of Piltdown II.
-- The Death of Charles Dawson
Charles died at the young age of 52 from pernicious amaemia on the 10th. August 1916 in Lewes, Sussex. He died without receiving a knighthood.
John J. Loud
John J. Loud also died on that day.
John, who was born in 1844, was an American entrepreneur, and designer of the ballpoint pen.
Loud invented and obtained a patent for what is considered to be the first ballpoint pen in 1888; however, his invention was not commercialized, and the patent eventually lapsed.
The modern ballpoint pen was patented later in 1938 by László Bíró, 22 years after Loud's death.
Since László Bíró's patent, over 100 billion ballpoint pens have been sold worldwide. 100 billion pens laid end to end would form a line 15 million kilometres long; it would encircle the earth 374 times. That's a lot of pens!

The Postcard
A Norman Series postcard published by S. & E. of Hastings.
It was posted in Eastbourne on Thursday the 17th. June 1937 to:
Mr. & Mrs. S.G. Elliott,
St. Margarets,
153, Carshalton Road,
Sutton,
Surrey.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Thursday.
Managed a short bathe
this morning, but very
cold.
It is fine today but
there's a cold wind.
It has now begun to
pour with rain so shall
have to stop indoors
until it chooses to stop.
Don't forget the flowers
on Friday.
Played ball with a dear
little dog called Jimmie
this morning on the
beach.
Walked to Beachy Head
and back yesterday.
Give my love to my
poodles.
Phyllis".
King Solomon's Mines
So what else happened on the day that Phyllis posted the card?
Well, on the 17th. June 1937, the adventure film 'King Solomon's Mines' premiered in the UK. It starred Paul Robeson (1898-1976) as Umbopa, and the British actor Cedric Hardwicke (1893-1964) as Allan Quartermain.
Hardwicke once said:
"England is my wife. America
is my mistress. It is very good
sometimes to get away from
one's wife".

The band is the support act for Bastille tour dates.
To Kill A King is a British folk and rock band currently based in London.
The band was formed in 2009 by frontman Ralph Pelleymounter with Ian Dudfield and Josh Platman during their studies at University of Leeds, which was then called Kid iD. In late 2009, after a change of line-up, they renamed themselves, "To Kill A King", as Jonathan Willoughby and Ben Jackson had joined the band.[1] The band has been compared to bands such as The National, Grizzly Bear, Mumford & Sons and Frightened Rabbit.[2][3] Their first single "Fictional State" was released on 29 May 2011.[4] A video for the single was made in April 2011 by director Jack King.[5]
