The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by Les Éditions d'Art Yvon of 15, Rue Martel, Paris. The card was produced in France.
On the back of the card, someone has written the date on which they presumably visited this location:
"10/6/44".
Bayeux
The buildings in Bayeux were virtually untouched during the Battle of Normandy, the German forces being fully involved in defending Caen from the Allies.
The Bayeux War Cemetery with its memorial includes the largest British cemetery dating from the Second World War in France. There are 4,648 graves, including 3,935 British and 466 Germans. Most of those buried there were killed in the invasion of Normandy.
Bayeux Cathedral
The Norman-Romanesque Cathedral was consecrated on Friday the 14th. July 1077 in the presence of William, Duke of Normandy. The chapter house was added in the 12th century, and the chapels were built in the 14th century.
An octagonal storey, decorated with open-work, was added to the lantern-tower in the 15th century, and finally a stone dome was built in the 18th. century.
The nave is 24 m high and 96 m long.
The Bayeux Tapestry
The Cathedral was the original home of the Bayeux tapestry which was first referred to in writing in 1476. The tapestry is 50 cm wide by 70 metres long (20 inches by 230 feet), and it illustrates the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England, as well as the events of the invasion itself. It is not a true tapestry, because the design is not woven into the fabric of the cloth - it is in fact an embroidery.
The tapestry is now housed nearby at the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux which is at the Centre Guillaume le Conquérant.
A video presentation and series of displays explain how the tapestry was sewn. It still looks fresh and new - it it difficult to believe that it was completed over 900 years ago. Nevertheless, despite its new appearance, at least two of the panels are known to be missing.
There is also a Victorian replica of the tapestry in Reading UK. Each of the embroiderers stitched her name beneath her completed panel.
Halley's Comet
The tapestry includes an image of Halley's Comet, shown as a firey star. Modern astronomy tells us that the comet would have been visible from the 20th March 1066. On that occasion the comet came to within 0.10 Astronomical Units of the earth (about 15 million kilometres).
The next appearance of Halley's Comet will be on the 28th. July 2061. Many of us won't be around to see it, but this beautiful cathedral will still be there.
The Oradour-sur-Glane Massacre
So what else happened on Saturday the 10th. June 1944?
Well, on that day a Waffen-SS company carried out the Oradour-sur-Glane massacre in France, killing 642 residents of the village of Oradour-sur-Glane.
The Distomo Massacre
Also on that day, Waffen-SS forces in Greece carried out the Distomo massacre, killing a total of 214 residents of the village of Distomo in retaliation for a partisan attack upon the unit.

The Postcard
A Gibson Lines postcard that was published by the Gibson Art Company of Cincinnati, Ohio. The card was posted in Cincinnati using a 1 cent stamp on Tuesday the 20th. December 1921.
It was sent to:
Mr. & Mrs. N. H. (surname deleted),
Felicity,
Ohio.
Felicity is a village in Franklin Township, Clermont County, Ohio. The population was 651 individuals at the 2020 census.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Dear Uncle and Aunt,
Hope this card finds you
both well, and that your
Xmas stocking will be
full to overflowing.
Ada and Charlie."
The Significance of Holly
The European holly, Ilex aquifolium is commonly referenced at Christmas time, and is sometimes referred to by the name Christ's thorn.
In many Western Christian cultures, holly is a traditional Christmas decoration, used especially in wreaths and illustrations, for instance on Christmas cards.
Since medieval times the plant has carried Christian symbolism, as expressed in the Christmas carol "The Holly and the Ivy", in which the holly is said to represent Jesus and the ivy to represent the Virgin Mary.
Christians have identified a wealth of symbolism in its form:
The sharpness of the leaves help to recall the crown of thorns worn by Jesus; the red berries serve as a reminder of the drops of blood that were shed for salvation; and the shape of the leaves, which resemble flames, can serve to reveal God's burning love for His people.
Combined with the fact that holly maintains its bright colors during the Christmas season, it naturally came to be associated with the Christian holiday.
Mistletoe
Mistletoe is the common name for obligate hemiparasitic plants in the order Santalales. They are attached to their host tree or shrub by a structure called the haustorium, through which they extract water and nutrients from the host plant.
There are hundreds of species of mistletoe which mostly live in tropical regions.
The name mistletoe originally referred to the species Viscum album (European mistletoe); it is the only species native to the British Isles and much of Europe. The genus Viscum is not native to North America, but Viscum album was introduced to Northern California in 1900.
European mistletoe has smooth-edged, oval, evergreen leaves borne in pairs along the woody stem, and waxy, white berries that it bears in clusters of two to six.
-- Mistletoe Life Cycle
Mistletoe species grow on a wide range of host trees, some of which experience side effects including reduced growth, stunting, and loss of infested outer branches.
A heavy infestation may also kill the host plant. Viscum album successfully parasitizes more than 200 tree and shrub species.
All mistletoe species are hemiparasites, because they do perform some photosynthesis for some period of their life cycle. However, in some species its contribution is very nearly zero.
A mistletoe seed germinates on the branch of a host tree or shrub, and in its early stages of development it is independent of its host. The adhesive on the seed tends to darken the bark. On having made contact with the bark, the hypocotyl, with only a rudimentary scrap of root tissue at its tip, penetrates it, a process that may take a year or more. In the meantime the plant is dependent on its own photosynthesis.
Only after it reaches the host's conductive tissue may it begin to rely on the host for its needs. Later, it forms a haustorium that penetrates the host tissue and takes water and nutrients from the host plant.
Most mistletoe seeds are spread by birds who eat the 'seeds' (in actuality drupes). Of the many bird species that feed on them, the mistle thrush is the best-known in Europe.
Depending on the species of mistletoe and the species of bird, the seeds are regurgitated from the crop, excreted in their droppings, or stuck to the bill and causing the bird to have to wipe it off onto a branch.
The seeds are coated with a sticky material called viscin. Some viscin remains on the seed and when it touches a stem, it sticks tenaciously. The viscin soon hardens and attaches the seed firmly to its future host, where it germinates and its haustorium penetrates the sound bark.
-- Toxicity of Mistletoe
There are 1500 species of mistletoe, varying widely in toxicity to humans; the European mistletoe (Viscum album) is more toxic than the American mistletoe (Phoradendron serotinum).
In European mistletoe (Viscum), viscumin is the dangerous active toxin. It acts by irreversibly inhibiting ribsomal protein synthesis in cells, which leads to the death of the affected cell, tissue damage in the area of exposure from mass cell death in the very short term, with the potential for organ failure and death depending on the level of exposure.
Mistletoe has been used historically in medicine for its supposed value in treating arthritis, high blood pressure, epilepsy, and infertility.
-- The Cultural Importance of Mistletoe
Mistletoe is relevant to several cultures. Pagan cultures regarded the white berries as symbols of male fertility, with the seeds resembling semen. The Celts, particularly, saw mistletoe as the semen of Taranis, while the Ancient Greeks referred to mistletoe as "oak sperm".
In Roman mythology, mistletoe was used by the hero Aeneas to reach the underworld.
The Romans associated mistletoe with peace, love, and understanding, and hung it over doorways to protect the household.
In the advent of the Christian era, mistletoe in the Western world became associated with Christmas as a decoration under which lovers are expected to kiss, as well as with protection from witches and demons.
Mistletoe continued to be associated with fertility and vitality through the Middle Ages, and by the eighteenth century it had also become incorporated into Christmas celebrations around the world. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe is referred to as popular among servants in late eighteenth-century England.
The serving class of Victorian England is credited with perpetuating the tradition. The tradition dictated that a man was allowed to kiss any woman standing underneath mistletoe, and that bad luck would befall any woman who refused the kiss.
One variation on the tradition stated that with each kiss a berry was to be plucked from the mistletoe, and the kissing must stop after all the berries had been removed.
Mistletoe is the floral emblem of the U.S. state of Oklahoma, and the flower of the UK county of Herefordshire.
Every year, the UK town of Tenbury Wells holds a mistletoe festival and crowns a 'Mistletoe Queen'.
Sir George Fuller
So what else happened on the day that Ada and Charlie posted the card?
Well, on the 20th. December 1921, Sir George Fuller took office as the new Premier of the Australian state of New South Wales, seven days after Premier James Dooley had lost a vote of confidence in the state legislature.
However, only seven hours after Fuller had formed a government and had become the head of government as premier, he lost another vote of confidence in the legislature and was not seated.
On the 27th. December 1921, James Dooley was appointed premier again after forming a new government.
The Russian Famine Relief Act
Also on that day, the U.S. Senate voted to pass the Russian Famine Relief Act, and approved the appropriation of $20,000,000 ($300 million in 2021) for that purpose.
The vote was pursuant to the request of President Harding, subject to the condition that all purchases of food be made in the U.S. and shipped to the Soviet Union in American vessels.
Julius Richard Petri
The 20th. December 1921 also marked the death at the age of 69 of the German microbiologist Julius Richard Petri.
Julius, who was born on the 31st. May 1852, is generally credited with inventing the device known as the Petri dish, which is named after him, while working as assistant to bacteriologist Robert Koch.
-- Julius Richard Petri - The Early Years
Petri was born in the town of Barmen (now a district of the city of Wuppertal), Germany. He came from a distinguished family of scholars, and was the eldest son of Philipp Ulrich Martin Petri (1817–1864), a professor in Berlin, and Louise Petri.
Petri's grandfather, Viktor Friedrich Leberecht Petri (1782–1857), was also a scholar, being both a director and professor at the Collegium Carolinum in Brunswick (Braunschweig), Germany.
Petri initially studied medicine at the Kaiser Wilhelm Academy for Military Physicians (1871–1875) and received his medical degree in 1876.
He continued his studies at the Charité Hospital in Berlin where his thesis on the chemistry of protein urine tests earned him his doctorate.
-- Julius Richard Petri - The Later Years
Julius was on active duty as a military physician until 1882, continuing then as a reservist. In 1886 he was a curator at the German Hygiene Museum where he subsequently worked under Robert Koch.
From 1877 to 1879 Julius was assigned to the Imperial Health Office in Berlin, where he became an assistant to Robert Koch. On the suggestion of Angelina Hesse, the New York-born wife of another assistant, Walther Hesse, the Koch laboratory began to culture bacteria on agar plates.
Petri then invented the standard culture dish, or Petri plate, and further developed the technique of agar culture in order to purify or clone bacterial colonies derived from single cells. This advance made it possible to rigorously identify the bacteria responsible for diseases.
Petri's first wife, Anna Riesch, died in 1894 during childbirth, and in 1897, he married Elizabeth Turk.
-- The Importance of the Petri Dish
Petri dishes are extensively used as research plates for microbiology studies. The dish is partially filled with warm liquid containing agar, and a mixture of specific ingredients that may include nutrients, blood, salts, carbohydrates, dyes, indicators, amino acids and antibiotics.
After the agar cools and solidifies, the dish is ready to receive a microbe-laden sample in a process known as "inoculation" or "plating". For virus or phage cultures, a two-step inoculation is needed: bacteria that is grown acts like a host for the viral inoculum.
The bacterial sample is diluted on the plate in a process called "streaking". This involves a sterile plastic stick, or a wire loop which is sterilized by heating; the loop is used to collect the first sample, and then to make a streak on the dish with the agar.
Then, using a fresh stick and sterilized loop, the new loop is passed through that initial streak, spreading the plated bacteria onto the dish.
This process is repeated a third time, and if necessary a fourth, resulting in individual bacterial cells that are isolated on the plate, which are then able to divide and grow into single "clonal" bacterial colonies.
Petri plates can be incubated upside down (agar on top), which can help lessen the risk of contamination from airborne particles containing microbes settling, and to decrease the chance of condensation from water accumulating and disturbing the microbes being cultured.
The basic design of the Petri dish has not changed since being created by Petri in 1887. It was a challenge to keep dishes free of dust, and extra bacteria could collect and alter samples; heavy bell jars used for this purpose proved ineffective, and so six years later Petri created a transparent plate slightly larger than the dish, which served as a transparent lid.
The Petri name has come into public prominence following a spate of serious food poisoning incidents on cruise liners; ships operating buffets in their restaurants have been referred to as 'floating Petri dishes.'
-- Julius Petri's Other Work
Not only was Petri responsible for many innovations and inventions, he also published a variety of papers including 150 on the topic of bacteriology and hygiene, which contributed significantly to information and concepts related to them.
Petri's papers detailed a number of steps in understanding microbiology, not limited to the study of microorganisms, but also including biological pathways and mechanisms.
In his paper of 1876 Julius considered questions regarding proteins found within urine, seeking ways that they could be used to identify conditions or functions.

Il mondo è pieno di cantanti che sanno farsi ascoltare, scrivere una canzone godibile e proporre un sound accattivante. Ma ci sono veramente pochissimi artisti che possiedono quel tono assolutamente inconfondibile che riconoscerai all’istante, senza alcuna ombra di dubbio. Quella voce che ti cattura, che ti fa venire i brividi: piena di anima, vibrante, quel tipo di voce che solo le vere star possiedono... Questa è Anastacia.
Anastacia è costretta a riprogrammare il suo Resurrection Tour a causa di una forte laringite.
Che Anastacia sia un’artista fuori dal comune si è capito da tempo. Ma è dai dettagli che si comprende la vera grandezza della star e della persona: costretta a cancellare tre delle quattro date del suo tour italiano, completamente sold out, a causa di una pesante laringite peggiorata proprio nel corso del concerto che si è tenuto al Fabrique di Milano, ha deciso di riprogrammare non solo i 3 concerti cancellati (previsti a Roma il 29 ottobre, Firenze il 30 e Padova il 1°novembre), ma in particolare quello di Milano che sarà un concerto speciale con cui Anastacia ringrazierà i suoi fans. Un caso unico, per un’artista che lo è altrettanto.
Anastacia ha dichiarato: "Dopo aver dovuto rinviare le date del tour italiano dopo uno spettacolo molto emozionante a Milano Sono veramente addolorata di dover dire a tutti voi che devo per forza, su istruzioni del mio medico, spostare il resto del mio tour europeo. Ho cercato di fare tutto quanto in mio il potere per salvare la mia voce e continuare con gli spettacoli, come previsto, ma le istruzioni dei medici sono che non sarò in grado di cantare per le prossime 3 o 4 settimane. Questo purtroppo non ci dà abbastanza tempo per riprogrammare le date di questa parte dell'anno a causa delle vacanze di Natale e la disponibilità delle strutture.
Milano... sto tornando per te! Con la voce!!! Ero devastata all’idea di non poter dare a voi ragazzi la vera Resurrection, ci vediamo presto ... come avete detto voi ragazzi "Sono troppo dura da rompere"... e allora grazie, grazie, grazie. Mi sento così in colpa di dover farvi aspettare ancora ma il "Resurrection Tour 2015 sarà ancora più grande e migliore che mai. Vi amo tutti”
Published March 1940, second edition (same month as first), by William F. Gericke. Should prove an interesting account of the development of this technique as it began to blossom in the mid-20th century.
This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle August 1916.
During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.
The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories and information to add please comment below.

Opening-act di Cosmo il 2 febbraio 2019 a Milano, al Mediolanum Forum di Assago, M¥SS KETA.
Una vita in Capslock è il titolo del primo album di M¥SS KETA, l’angelo dall’occhiale da sera, la diva definitiva dal volto velato e regina suprema dell’eccesso.
Il disco è un vero e proprio viaggio interiore che ha portato M¥SS KETA a esplorare nuove sonorità, mostrando la maturità acquisita in questi anni.
L’#UVIC Tour ha preso il via lo scorso aprile dai Magazzini Generali di Milano, la città che l’ha vista nascere e diventare “la stella più brillante dello star system contemporaneo”.
Un live esagerato che inaugura il nuovo capitolo della vita di M¥SS KETA, che sceglie definitivamente la selva oscura e perde la retta via per trasformarsi “da domata a domatrice, diventando protagonista di una vita sfrenata, incontrollabile e surreale: Una vita in Capslock.”
M¥SS KETA - la cui identità non è mai stata resa nota, così come il volto, mostrato sempre coperto sia durante gli spettacoli dal vivo che negli scatti promozionali - ha esordito nel 2013 con il brano “Milano, sushi e coca”, al quale sono seguiti “In gabbia (non ci vado)”, “Burqa di Gucci”, “Le ragazze di Porta Venezia”: le prime canzoni registrate dall'artista e diffuse al pubblico per mezzo dei social network sono state raccolte, nel 2016, nel "best of" “L’angelo dall’occhiale da sera: col cuore in gola". Nell’estate del 2017 la cantante pubblica per l’etichetta La Tempesta l’EP “Carpaccio ghiacciato”, prodotto da Motel Forlanini, alla realizzazione del quale prendono parte, tra gli altri, Riva e Populous, quest'ultimo coinvolto come produttore del singolo “Xananas”. Il 20 aprile del 2018 esce per Universal Music/La Tempesta il primo album di Myss Keta, "Una vita in Capslock": prodotto da un team composto da RIVA, Populous, Clap Clap, Bot, Zeus! e H-24, il disco vede le partecipazioni di di Birthh ai cori in "Inferno" e "Ultima botta a Pargi" e di Adele Nigro (Any Other) al sax sempre in "Ultima botta a Parigi". Tra gli autori dell'album, oltre alla stessa cantante e RIVA, ci sono Simone Rovellini, Dario Pigato e il collettivo di creativi milanesi raggruppatosi intorno al nome di Motel Forlanini.
Secondo quanto ha dichiarato l'artista, sarebbe andata in vacanza con l'avvocato Gianni Agnelli, sarebbe stata la prima musa di Salvador Dalí ed Andy Warhol e avrebbe avuto dei flirt con note personalità della politica e dello spettacolo. Ha anche asserito di aver avuto diciotto anni negli anni settanta e diciannove nel 2001.

Lucia Joyce
So what else happened on the day that Ern posted the card to Libby?
Well, the 26th. July 1907 marked the birth in Trieste, Austria-Hungary (now Italy) of Lucia Joyce.
Lucia Anna Joyce was an Irish professional dancer and the daughter of Irish writer James Joyce and Nora Barnacle.
Once treated by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung, Lucia was diagnosed as schizophrenic in the mid-1930's and institutionalized at the Burghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich.
In 1951, she was transferred to St. Andrew's Hospital in Northampton, where she remained until her death in 1982. St. Andrew's is a mental health facility.
Lucia was the aunt of Stephen James Joyce, who was the last descendant of James Joyce.
-- Lucia Joyce - The Early Years
Lucia Anna Joyce was born in the Ospedale Civico di Trieste. She was the second child of Irish writer James Joyce and his partner (later wife) Nora Barnacle, after her brother Giorgio.
As her parents were expatriates living in Trieste, Lucia's first language was Italian. In her younger years, she trained as a dancer at the Dalcroze Institute in Paris. She studied dancing from 1925 to 1929 and was taught by Raymond Duncan (brother of Isadora Duncan) at his school near Salzburg.
In 1927, Joyce danced a short duet as a toy soldier in Jean Renoir’s film adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "La Petite marchande d’allumettes"
In 1928, Lucia joined "Les Six de rythme et couleur," a commune of six female dancers that were soon performing at venues in France, Austria, and Germany.
After a performance in La Princesse Primitive at the Vieux-Colombier theatre, the Paris Times wrote of her:
"Lucia Joyce is her father's daughter. She has
James Joyce's enthusiasm, energy, and a
not-yet-determined amount of his genius.
When she reaches her full capacity for rhythmic
dancing, James Joyce may yet be known as his
daughter's father."
On the 28th. May 1929, Lucia was chosen as one of six finalists in the first international festival of dance in Paris held at the Bal Bullier.
Although she did not win, the audience, which included her father and the young Samuel Beckett, championed her performance as outstanding and loudly protested the jury's verdict.
It has been alleged that when Lucia was 21, she and Beckett (who was her father's secretary for a short time) became lovers.
Their relationship lasted only a short while, and ended after Beckett, who was involved with another woman at the time, admitted that his interest was actually in a professional relationship with James Joyce, not a personal one with Joyce's daughter.
At the age of 22, Lucia, after years of rigorous dedication and long hours of practice, decided:
"I am not physically strong
enough to be a dancer of
any kind".
Announcing that she would become a teacher, she then turned down an offer to join a group in Darmstadt, and effectively gave up dancing.
Lucia's biographer Carol Shloss, however, argues that it was her father who finally put an end to her dancing career. James reasoned that the intense physical training for ballet caused her undue stress, which in turn exacerbated the long-standing animosity between her and her mother Nora Barnacle.
The resulting incessant domestic squabbles prevented work on Finnegans Wake. James convinced her that she should turn to drawing lettrines to illustrate his prose, and forgo her deep-seated artistic inclinations.
To his patron Harriet Shaw Weaver, James Joyce wrote that:
"This resulted in a month of tears as
she thinks she has thrown away three
or four years of hard work and is
sacrificing a talent."
-- Lucia Joyce's Mental Illness and Later Life
Lucia Joyce started to show signs of mental illness in 1930, including a time period during which she was involved with Samuel Beckett, then a junior lecturer in English at the École normale supérieure in Paris.
In May 1930, while her parents were in Zurich, she invited Beckett to dinner, hoping to press him into some kind of declaration. He flatly rejected her, explaining that he was only interested in her father and his writing.
By 1934, Lucia had participated in several affairs, with her drawing teacher Alexander Calder, another expatriate artist Albert Hubbell, and Myrsine Moschos, assistant to Sylvia Beach of Shakespeare and Company.
As the year wore on, her condition had deteriorated to the point that James had Carl Jung take her in as a patient. Soon after, she was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the Burghölzli psychiatric clinic in Zurich.
In 1936, James consented to have his daughter undergo blood tests at St Andrew's Hospital in Northampton. After a short stay, Lucia Joyce insisted that she return to Paris, the doctors explaining to her father that she could not be prevented from doing so unless he had her committed.
James told his closest friends that:
"I would never agree to my daughter
being incarcerated among the English."
Lucia Joyce returned to stay with Maria Jolas, the wife of transition editor Eugene Jolas, in Neuilly-sur-Seine.
However after three weeks her condition worsened, and she was taken away in a straitjacket to the Maison de Santé Velpeau in Vésinet. Considered a danger to both staff and inmates, she was left in isolation.
Two months later, she entered the maison de santé of François Achille Delmas at Ivry-sur-Seine.
In 1951, Joyce was again transferred to St Andrew's Hospital.
In 1962, Beckett donated his share of the royalties from his 1929 contributory essay on Finnegans Wake to help pay for her confinement at St Andrew's.
In 1982, Lucia Joyce had a stroke and died in Northampton at the age of 75 on the 12th. December. She was laid to rest in Kingsthorpe Cemetery, Northampton.
-- The Legacy of Lucia Joyce
Each year on Bloomsday, extracts from James Joyce's Ulysses and other readings related to his life and works are read at Lucia Anna Joyce's graveside.
In 2018 on Bloomsday, Letters to Lucia, a play written by Richard Rose and James Vollmar in which characters from Lucia's life, including Samuel Beckett, Kathleen Neel, Nora Barnacle/Joyce and Joyce himself appear, was performed by the Triskellion Irish Theatre Company at the graveside.
Bloomsday is a commemoration and celebration of the life of James Joyce, observed annually in Dublin and elsewhere on the 16th. June, the date of his first sexual encounter with his wife-to-be, Nora Barnacle, and named after Leopold Paula Bloom, the hero of Joyce's 1922 novel Ulysses.
Lucia's mental state, and documentation related to it, is the subject of a study, Lucia Joyce: To Dance in the Wake, by Carol Loeb Shloss, who believes that Lucia Joyce was her father's muse for Finnegans Wake.
Making heavy reference to the letters between Joyce and her father, the study became the subject of a copyright misuse suit by the James Joyce estate. On the 25th. March 2007, this litigation was resolved in Shloss's favour.
Professor John McCourt, of the University of Macerata, a prize-winning Joyce scholar, trustee of the International James Joyce Foundation, and co-founder and director of the International James Joyce symposium held at Trieste, wrote in A Companion to Literary Biography that Shloss, in her "sometimes obsessive" book:
"Seeks very deliberately to depose Nora (Joyce's
wife) as Joyce's chief muse.
In doing so, it overplays its hand with exaggerated
claims about Lucia's genius and about her importance
to Joyce's creative process, and vindictively harsh
judgments on most members of the Joyce family
and circle.
The book's most damaging legacy is the cottage
industry of derivative versions of Lucia that it has
helped to spawn. It is the key source for a whole
series of writings about Lucia that uncomfortably
mix fact and fiction."
One such derivative was The Joyce Girl (2016) by Annabel Abbs, of which McCourt wrote:
"With Abbs, the perverse cycle of
interest in Lucia comes full circle.
We are back in the territory of fiction
fraudulently posing as biography.
The book is a prime contender for the
worst Joyce-inspired 'biography' ever".
The book was also the subject of criticism in the Irish Times and Irish Examiner regarding the author's "unsubstantiated speculations" regarding incest between Lucia and her brother, and the sources of her mental illness.
In 1988, Stephen Joyce had all the letters written by Lucia that he received upon her death in 1982 destroyed. Stephen Joyce stated in a letter to the editor of The New York Times that:
"Regarding the destroyed correspondence,
these were all personal letters from Lucia to
us.
They were written many years after both
Nonno and Nonna (i.e. Mr. and Mrs. Joyce)
died and did not refer to them.
Also destroyed were some postcards and
one telegram from Samuel Beckett to Lucia.

In 2004, Lucia Joyce's life was the subject of Calico, a West End play written by Michael Hastings, and, in 2012, of the graphic novel Dotter of Her Father's Eyes by Mary and Bryan Talbot.
A play exploring her life, titled L, was performed to a limited audience in Concord Academy in 2016. It was written and directed by Sophia Ginsburg.
In 2018, Lucia was the subject of a novel by Alex Pheby, titled Lucia.
Lucia Joyce is the protagonist of the "Round the Bend" chapter of Alan Moore's 2016 novel Jerusalem. Set at the Northampton clinic where she spent her final years, the chapter is written in the style of her father's Finnegans Wake.
In 2023, Joseph Chester released Lucia for Guitar & Strings, a suite for classical guitar and strings, commissioned by Axis Ballymun for the centenary celebrations of Ulysses in Dublin.
The suite had its world premiere in Dublin on Bloomsday 2023, and was released on CD, vinyl and streaming in January 2023. The suite took eleven key moments from the life of Lucia Joyce in order to paint a portrait of her in music.

The Postcard
A postcard that was published by Chorley of 10, High Street, Exmouth. The card was posted in Exmouth using a 1d. stamp on Tuesday the 19th. August 1924. It was sent to:
Mrs. C. Hopper,
c/o Mrs. Ferris,
5, Summerland Avenue,
Minehead,
Somerset.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"Withycombe Raleigh,
19. 1. 24.
Dear Aunt Constance,
Thank you very much for
your post-card. I'm glad
you are enjoying your-
selves at Minehead.
I hope the weather is
better there than it is
at Exmouth - it's pretty
foul today.
I am sorry to have to
confess that I got my
feet wet up near the
floors yesterday.
I wish you were here
to look after me and
keep me in order.
I wanted to go to Ladram
Bay this afternoon, but it
is so wet that I am afraid
I must abandon the idea.
Love to you all,
Your affectionate nephew,
George."
Ladram Bay is seven miles from Exmouth.
Exmouth
Exmouth is a port town and seaside resort located on the east bank at the mouth of the River Exe, approximately 11 miles (18 km) southeast of Exeter, in the county of Devon, England.
According to the 2021 Census, Exmouth has a population of 35,488, making it the fifth largest settlement in Devon by population.
Historically known as a popular seaside resort, Exmouth is noted for its long sandy beaches, marina, and watersports opportunities, attracting many visitors in good weather. It also serves as a commuter town for nearby Exeter.
The Conquering of Mount Fitzsimmons
So what else happened on the day that George posted the card to his aunt in Minehead?
Well, on the 19th. August 1924, the first ascent was made of the 2,603 metre (8,540 ft) Mount Fitzsimmons, in British Columbia.
The ascent was made by a party of Canadian mountaineers from the British Columbia Mountaineering Club.
Willard Boyle
The day also marked the birth in Amherst, Nova Scotia of Willard Boyle.
Willard was a Canadian physicist and 2009 Nobel Prize laureate for:
"... the invention of an imaging semiconductor
circuit – the CCD sensor, which has become
an electronic eye in almost all areas of
photography."
The charge-coupled device (CCD) was invented in 1969 by Willard Boyle and George E. Smith. The CCD allowed NASA to send clear pictures back to Earth from space. It is also the technology that powers many digital cameras today. Smith said of their invention:
"After making the first couple of
imaging devices, we knew for
certain that chemistry photography
was dead."
-- Willard Boyle's Personal Life
In retirement Willard split his time between Halifax and Wallace, Nova Scotia. In Wallace, he helped launch an art gallery with his wife, Betty, a landscape artist.
He was married to Betty since 1946 and had four children, 10 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.
In his later years, Boyle suffered from kidney disease, and due to complications from this disease, died in a hospital in Truro, Nova Scotia on the 7th. May 7, 2011. Willard was 86 years of age when he died.
The Leopold and Loeb Murder Trial
Also on the 19th. August 1924, the state began its closing arguments in the Leopold and Loeb trial.
The trial had begun on the 21st. July 1924, when defense lawyer Clarence Darrow told the Illinois court that his clients were entering pleas of guilty.
Nathan Freudenthal Leopold Jr. (1904 - 1971) and Richard Albert Loeb (1905 - 1936) were two wealthy students at the University of Chicago who kidnapped and murdered 14-year-old Bobby Franks in Chicago in May 1924.
They committed the murder - characterized at the time as "The Crime of the Century" - as a demonstration of their ostensible intellectual superiority, which they believed enabled and entitled them to carry out a "perfect crime" without consequences.
After the two men had been arrested, Loeb's family retained Clarence Darrow as lead counsel for their defense. Darrow's 12-hour summation at their sentencing hearing is noted for its influential criticism of capital punishment as retributive rather than transformative justice.
Both young men were sentenced to life imprisonment plus 99 years. Loeb was murdered by a fellow prisoner in 1936; Leopold was released on parole in 1958.
Leopold and Loeb's Murder of Bobby Franks
Leopold and Loeb, who were 19 and 18 respectively at the time, settled on kidnapping and murdering a younger adolescent as their perfect crime.
They spent seven months planning everything, from the method of abduction to disposal of the body. To obfuscate the actual nature of their crime and motive, they decided to make a ransom demand, and devised an intricate plan for collecting it involving a long series of complex instructions to be communicated, one set at a time, by phone.
They typed the final set of instructions involving the actual money drop in the form of a ransom note, using the typewriter stolen from the fraternity house. A chisel was selected as the murder weapon and purchased.
After a lengthy search for a suitable victim, mostly on the grounds of the Harvard School for Boys in the Kenwood area, where Leopold had been educated, the pair decided upon Robert "Bobby" Franks, the 14-year-old son of wealthy Chicago watch manufacturer Jacob Franks.
Bobby Franks was Loeb's second cousin and an across-the-street neighbor who had played tennis at the Loeb residence several times.
Leopold and Loeb put their plan in motion on the afternoon of the 21st. May 1924. Using an automobile that Leopold rented under the name Morton D. Ballard, they offered Franks a ride as he walked home from school.
The boy initially refused, because his destination was less than two blocks away, but Loeb persuaded him to enter the car to discuss a tennis racket that he had been using.
The precise sequence of events that followed remains in dispute, but a preponderance of opinion placed Leopold behind the wheel of the car while Loeb sat in the back seat with the chisel.
Loeb struck Franks, who was sitting in front of him in the passenger seat, several times in the head with the chisel, then dragged him into the back seat and gagged him, where he died.
With the body on the floor of the back seat, the men drove to their predetermined dumping spot near Wolf Lake in Hammond, Indiana, 25 miles (40 km) south of Chicago.
After nightfall, they removed and discarded Franks' clothes, then concealed the body in a culvert along the Pennsylvania Railroad tracks north of the lake.
In order to obscure the body's identity, they poured hydrochloric acid on Franks' face and genitals to disguise the fact that he had been circumcised, as circumcision was unusual among non-Jews in the United States at the time.
The Ransom Note
By the time the two men returned to Chicago, word had already spread that Franks was missing. Leopold called Franks' mother, identifying himself as "George Johnson", and told her that Franks had been kidnapped; instructions for delivering the ransom would follow.
After mailing the typed ransom note and burning their blood-stained clothing, then cleaning the blood stains from the rented vehicle's upholstery, they spent the remainder of the evening playing cards.
Once the Franks family received the ransom note on the following morning, Leopold called a second time and dictated the first set of instructions for the ransom payment.
The intricate plan stalled almost immediately when a nervous family member forgot the address of the store where he was supposed to receive the next set of directions, and it was abandoned entirely when word came that Franks' body had been found.
Leopold and Loeb destroyed the typewriter and burned a car blanket that they had used to move the body. They then went about their lives as usual.
Chicago police launched an intensive investigation and rewards were offered for information. Both Leopold and Loeb enjoyed chatting with friends and family members about the murder. Leopold discussed the case with his professor and a girl friend, joking that he would confess and give her the reward money.
Loeb helped a couple of reporter friends of his find the drug store he and Leopold had tried to send Jacob Franks to, and when asked to describe Bobby he replied:
"If I were to murder anybody, it would
be just such a cocky little son of a bitch
as Bobby Franks."
Police found a pair of eyeglasses near Franks' body. Although common in prescription and frame, they were fitted with an unusual hinge purchased by only three customers in Chicago, one of whom was Leopold.
When questioned, Leopold offered the possibility that his glasses might have dropped out of his pocket during a bird-watching trip the previous weekend.
Leopold and Loeb were summoned for formal questioning on the 29th. May. They asserted that on the night of the murder, they had picked up two women in Chicago using Leopold's car, then dropped them off some time later near a golf course without learning their last names.
However their alibi was exposed as a fabrication when Leopold's chauffeur told police that he was repairing Leopold's car while the men claimed to be using it.
Also the chauffeur's wife confirmed that the car was parked in the Leopold garage on the night of the murder. The destroyed typewriter was recovered from the Jackson Park Lagoon on the 7th. June.
Confessions
Loeb was the first to confess. He asserted that Leopold had planned everything and had killed Franks in the back seat of the car while he (Loeb) drove. Leopold's confession followed swiftly thereafter. He insisted that he was the driver and Loeb the murderer.
Their confessions otherwise corroborated most of the evidence in the case. Both confessions were announced by the state's attorney on the 31st. May.
Leopold later claimed, long after Loeb was dead, that he pleaded in vain with Loeb to admit to killing Franks. He quoted Loeb as saying:
"Mompsie feels less terrible than
she might, thinking you did it, and
I'm not going to take that shred of
comfort away from her."
Most observers believed that Loeb did strike the fatal blows. Some circumstantial evidence – including testimony from eyewitness Carl Ulvigh, who claimed that he saw Loeb driving and Leopold in the back seat minutes before the kidnapping – suggested that Leopold could have been the killer.
Both Leopold and Loeb admitted that they were driven by their thrill-seeking, Übermenschen (supermen) delusions, and their aspiration to commit a "perfect crime".
Neither claimed to have looked forward to the killing, but Leopold admitted interest in learning what it would feel like to be a murderer. He was disappointed to note that he felt the same as ever.
The Trial of Leopold and Loeb
The trial of Leopold and Loeb at Chicago's Cook County Criminal Court became a media spectacle. The Leopold and Loeb families hired the renowned criminal defense attorney Clarence Darrow to lead the defense team.
It was rumored that Darrow was paid $1 million for his services, but he was actually paid $70,000 (equivalent to $1,200,000 in 2022). Darrow took the case because he was a staunch opponent of capital punishment.
While it was generally assumed that the men's defense would be based on a plea of not guilty by reason of insanity, Darrow concluded that a jury trial would almost certainly end in conviction and the death penalty.
Thus he elected to enter a plea of guilty, hoping to convince Cook County Circuit Court Judge John R. Caverly to impose sentences of life imprisonment.
The trial, technically an extended sentencing hearing, as their guilty pleas had already been accepted, ran for thirty-two days.
The state's attorney, Robert E. Crowe, presented over 100 witnesses, documenting details of the crime.
The defense presented extensive psychiatric testimony in an effort to establish mitigating circumstances, including childhood neglect in the form of absent parenting, and in Leopold's case, sexual abuse by a governess.
One piece of evidence was a letter written by Leopold claiming that he and Loeb were having a homosexual affair. Both the prosecution and the defense interpreted this information as supportive of their own position.
Darrow called a series of expert witnesses, who offered a catalog of Leopold's and Loeb's abnormalities. One witness testified to their dysfunctional endocrine glands, another to the delusions that had led to their crime.
Darrow's Speech
Darrow's impassioned, eight-hour-long "masterful plea" at the conclusion of the hearing has been called the finest speech of his career. Its principal arguments were that the methods and punishments of the American justice system were inhumane, and the youth and immaturity of the accused:
"This terrible crime was inherent in his organism, and it came from some ancestor. Is any blame attached because somebody took Nietzsche's philosophy seriously and fashioned his life upon it? It is hardly fair to hang a 19-year-old boy for the philosophy that was taught him at the university.
We read of killing one hundred thousand men in a day [during World War I]. We read about it and we rejoiced in it – if it was the other fellows who were killed. We were fed on flesh and drank blood.
Even down to the prattling babe. I need not tell you how many upright, honorable young boys have come into this court charged with murder, some saved and some sent to their death, boys who fought in this war and learned to place a cheap value on human life. You know it and I know it. These boys were brought up in it.
It will take fifty years to wipe it out of the human heart, if ever. I know this, that after the Civil War in 1865, crimes of this sort increased, marvelously. No one needs to tell me that crime has no cause. It has as definite a cause as any other disease, and I know that out of the hatred and bitterness of the Civil War crime increased as America had never seen before.
I know that Europe is going through the same experience today; I know it has followed every war; and I know it has influenced these boys so that life was not the same to them as it would have been if the world had not made red with blood.
Your Honor knows that in this very court crimes of violence have increased growing out of the war. Not necessarily by those who fought but by those that learned that blood was cheap, and human life was cheap, and if the State could take it lightly why not the boy?
Has the court any right to consider anything but these two boys? The State says that your Honor has a right to consider the welfare of the community, as you have. If the welfare of the community would be benefited by taking these lives, well and good. I think it would work evil that no one could measure.
Has your Honor a right to consider the families of these defendants? I have been sorry, and I am sorry for the bereavement of Mr. and Mrs. Franks, for those broken ties that cannot be healed. All I can hope and wish is that some good may come from it all. But as compared with the families of Leopold and Loeb, the Franks are to be envied – and everyone knows it.
Here is Leopold's father – and this boy was the pride of his life. He watched him and he cared for him, he worked for him; the boy was brilliant and accomplished. He educated him, and he thought that fame and position awaited him, as it should have awaited. It is a hard thing for a father to see his life's hopes crumble into dust.
And Loeb's the same. Here are the faithful uncle and brother, who have watched here day by day, while Dickie's father and his mother are too ill to stand this terrific strain, and shall be waiting for a message which means more to them than it can mean to you or me. Shall these be taken into account in this general bereavement?
The easy thing and the popular thing to do is to hang my clients. I know it. Men and women who do not think will applaud. The cruel and thoughtless will approve. It will be easy today; but in Chicago, and reaching out over the length and breadth of the land, more and more fathers and mothers, the humane, the kind and the hopeful, who are gaining an understanding and asking questions not only about these poor boys, but about their own – these will join in no acclaim at the death of my clients.
These would ask that the shedding of blood be stopped, and that the normal feelings of man resume their sway. Your Honor stands between the past and the future. You may hang these boys; you may hang them by the neck until they are dead. But in doing it you will turn your face toward the past. In doing it you are making it harder for every other boy who in ignorance and darkness must grope his way through the mazes which only childhood knows.
In doing it you will make it harder for unborn children. You may save them and make it easier for every child that sometime may stand where these boys stand. You will make it easier for every human being with an aspiration and a vision and a hope and a fate.
I am pleading for the future; I am pleading for a time when hatred and cruelty will not control the hearts of men. When we can learn by reason and judgment and understanding and faith that all life is worth saving, and that mercy is the highest attribute of man."
The judge was persuaded, but he explained in his ruling that his decision was based primarily on precedent and the youth of the accused. On the 10th. September 1924, he sentenced both Leopold and Loeb to life imprisonment for the murder, and an additional 99 years for the kidnapping. A little over a month later, Loeb's father died of heart failure.
Darrow's handling of the law as defense counsel has been criticized for hiding psychiatric expert testimony that conflicted with his polemical goals and for relying on an absolute denial of free will, one of the principles legitimizing all criminal punishment.
Prison and Loeb's Murder
Leopold and Loeb initially were held at Joliet Prison. Although they were kept apart as much as possible, the two managed to maintain their friendship.
Leopold was transferred to Stateville Penitentiary in 1925, and Loeb was later transferred there as well. Once reunited, the two expanded the prison school system, adding a high school and junior college curriculum.
On the 28th. January 1936, Loeb was attacked by fellow inmate James Day with a straight razor in a shower room; he died soon after in the prison hospital.
Day claimed that Loeb had attempted to sexually assault him, but he was unharmed, while Loeb sustained more than fifty wounds, including defensive wounds on his arms and hands. His throat had been slashed from behind.
News accounts suggested Loeb had propositioned Day, and though several prison officials including the Warden believed Loeb had been murdered, Day was found not guilty by a jury after a short trial in June, 1936.

Published in today's edition of "The Oregonian" (Sept. 8, 2010), this edited version of my response to last week's news story about students being newly allowed to use spell check in state writing exams contains 12 intentional errors (can YOU find them all?), all in the first paragraph, which would not be found by spell check.
Here's the full version of the letter I submitted:
___
To the Editor,
Watt a good lessen two no that student's kin now use Spell Check on there state proficiency exams ("Oregon students will be able to use spell check to pass state writing test," Sept. 2, 2010). Its good that Oregon has it's students well fare in mind with this grate decision.
All sarcasm aside, these students will be very well prepared to join the local work force at places such as the trade newspaper Daily Journal of Commerce where I was last employed in what was once my chosen career field and where the typesetting supervisor of many years was English illiterate, forcing me from a trade in which I'd worked for nearly 20 years into entry level positions ever since.
The best way to eradicate stupidity, it seems, is to make stupidity the norm. Hooray to Oregon for being so progressive.
Greg Boeshans

___
After all these years (10 plus), still no one will address the gross injustice I endured by being briefly employed at DJC where the supervisor had little or no typesetting training and was English illiterate. How this company could have such an incompetent person in a position of power and authority still baffles and dumbfounds me -- not to mention why no one has ever given me a word of acknowledgement or support (I don't count the company's lawyers sending me a "cease and desist" order as support, of course). Truth is truth and he was an incompetent piece of worthless tripe who was treated within the company as some kind of god because the department of which he was the supervisor was the department that made the company its money, short and simple. The fact that the money was a result of government regulations requiring publication of competitive bidding for public works projects means that the income would have been the same with or without a competent person in the postiion. But I am pissing into the wind to still be bitter (yet I am) after 10 years. Injustice, wronged, drastically life-changing, the words -- once I start to think about this -- don't stop. (P.S. Discovered DJC has a Flickr account and photostream: DJC Photos. Tagged this photo then thought better of it since they're mentioned in my caption and not in the photo itself.)

Prima a esibirsi a Unaltrofestival, il 2 settembre 2016, Birthh.
Birthh è l’oscuro alter-ego di Alice Bisi, “la coscienza di una diciannovenne che spende la maggior parte del proprio tempo a pensare a eventi apocalittici”. Un personaggio che, per prendere in prestito il titolo di una delle canzoni del disco, si definisce “Queen Of Failureland”, una giovane regina che non trova pace: “I thought love was enough / But truth is love is dead”. Born In The Woods non è solo la voce di questo personaggio, è il suo stesso corpo: con i suoi colpi di cassa a mimare un inquieto battito cardiaco, i respiri affannosi tra i versi, le sue chitarre nauseanti, i suoi cori caldi, quasi tangibili, intrecciati a tappeti sintetici che avvolgono ed entrano nelle vene.
Il suono di questo tormento mostra una grande attenzione per i particolari e un gusto per le atmosfere downtempo e ambient. «Ho preferito che i suoni del Wurlitzer e di gran parte delle chitarre avessero un certo timbro lo-fi, a fare da contrasto ai suoni precisi e netti dei beat e degli arpeggiatori. Anche l’organo e l’armonium sono stati inseriti con lo stesso scopo. Mancano quasi del tutto gli elementi della batteria acustica. Abbiamo lavorato molto per aggiungere suoni percussivi presi dalla quotidianità (snap, battiti di mani, acqua, porte che sbattono…) e integrarli dentro ritmi frammentati, a volte disorientanti. In gran parte dei brani non abbiamo usato nemmeno il basso: mi piaceva l’idea di poter fare un disco di musica elettronica senza l’ausilio di questo elemento centrale: per ottenere quella profondità abbiamo optato per delle casse con una frequenza bassissima».
Born In The Woods unisce la sensibilità di una scrittura cantautorale, dalle evidenti radici folk, alle ricercatezze degli arrangiamenti elettronici. Il vero elemento distintivo del disco restano le armonie vocali (artificiali e non), che portano le canzoni a climax dai toni quasi gospel, e fanno parlare l’intensa voce di Birthh direttamente al cuore.
La quarta edizione di Unaltrofestival torna nella città di Milano con una programmazione senza eguali, a settembre, Giovedì 1 e Venerdì 2, al Magnolia Estate, immersa nel verde che circonda l’idroscalo
