Ballet Afternoon, that’s a small and limited collection of my latest fashions, that was highly inspired by dancewear from ballerinas. It includes soft and delicate flowing fabrics and combines timeless black and versatile grey with beautiful powder and rose-colored tones.

Fresh from helping out elsewhere during the busy Festival weeks, Lothian Trident 628 is seen back on the familiar territory of service 14. This one of the last dual-door buses (for those rear platform lovers the middle door is exit only!), and part of a diminishing fleet of buses still in the harleyquin (or hurleyquin!) livery.
Service 14's origins goes way back to Edinburgh tram days, when routes 13 and 14 served the Granton, Ferry Road, Bonnington and Leith Walk areas. However although the replacement bus route retained number 14, its southern end was altered to serve Newington, Prestonfield, Craigmillar and Niddrie and for a time Newcraighall. Nowadays the route runs between the 'council' estates of Muirhouse and Greendykes and 628 is seen at the latter's leafy terminus.
The harleyquin livery did not quite fit in with traditional 'Edinburghers' - it appeared to offer more identity with a dress design than with an historic city such as Edinburgh!

Portly, versatile British-American stage and film actor Charles Laughton (1899 – 1962) was often type-cast for arrogant, unscrupulous characters. He was one of the most popular actors of the 1930’s and 1940’s, and gave some of his greatest performances as Nero, Henry VIII, Mr. Barrett, Inspector Javert, Captain Bligh, Rembrandt, and Quasimodo. Laughton was also a screenwriter, producer and one-time director.
Charles Laughton was born to a wealthy hotel owning family in Scarborough, England, in 1899. He was the son of Robert Laughton and his wife Elizabeth Conlon, who was a devout Roman Catholic. They ran the Victoria Hotel, a well-known retreat for the middle class. The eldest of three brothers, Laughton and his siblings thrived in the spacious hotel, always finding new places to play. He attended Stonyhurst College, a Jesuit school, in Lancashire, England. Laughton was assigned the roll of a portly innkeeper in the school’s production of The Private Secretary. Even thought the role was a minor one, he loved the opportunity to let out his artistic flair. In 1917, just 18 he was sent onto the battlefields of Europe. He joined the war at its conclusion, but none the less suffered not only a gas attack but also some deep mental scars. He started work in the family hotel business, while participating in amateur theatricals in Scarborough. Finally he was allowed by his family to become a drama student at Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA) in 1925, and he received the gold medal. Laughton made his stage début in 1926 at the Barnes Theatre, as Osip in Gogol's comedy The Government Inspector, in which he also appeared at the London Gaiety Theatre in May. In the following years he appeared in many West End plays. Overweight and not the best looking of men, many of the leading roles were not available to him. Despite this he impressed audiences with his talent and played classical roles in two plays by Chekhov, The Cherry Orchard and The Three Sisters. One of his earliest stage successes was as Hercule Poirot in Alibi (1928), a stage adaptation of The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. In fact he was the first actor to portray Agatha Christie's Belgian detective Hercule Poirot. That same year Laughton also played the lead role of Harry Hegan in the world premiere of Sean O'Casey's The Silver Tassie in London, and he played the title role in Arnold Bennett's Mr Prohack. Elsa Lanchester was also in the cast. Coming from a bohemian background, Lanchester was lively and strong willed. She fell for the reserved and sensitive Laughton and despite his suppressed feelings of homosexuality the two began a courtship. In 1929 they married. He went on to play the title role in Mr Pickwick after Charles Dickens, and Tony Perelli in Edgar Wallace's On the Spot. Another success was his role as William Marble in Payment Deferred. He took this last play across the Atlantic and in it he made his American début in 1931, at the Lyceum Theatre in New York. He returned to London for the 1933 - 1934 Old Vic Season and was engaged in four Shakespeare roles (as Macbeth and Henry VIII, Angelo in Measure for Measure and Prospero in The Tempest). In 1936, he went to Paris and appeared at the Comédie-Française as Sganarelle in the second act of Molière's Le Médecin malgré lui, the first English actor to appear at that theatre, where he acted the part in French and received an ovation. Laughton commenced his film career in England while still acting on the London stage. He took small roles in three short silent comedies starring his wife Elsa Lanchester, Daydreams (1928, Ivor Montagu), Blue Bottles (1928, Ivor Montagu) and The Tonic (1928, Ivor Montagu) which had been specially written for her by H. G. Wells. He made a brief appearance as a disgruntled diner in another silent film Piccadilly (1929, Ewald André Dupont - uncredited) with Anna May Wong. He appeared with Elsa Lanchester again in Comets (1930, Sasha Geneen), featuring assorted British variety acts. In this ‘film revue’ they duetted in 'The Ballad of Frankie and Johnnie'. The couple made two other early British talkies: Wolves (1930, Albert de Courville) with Dorothy Gish from a play set in a whaling camp in the frozen north, and Down River (1931, Peter Godfrey) in which he played a murderous, half-oriental drug-smuggler.
Charles Laughton’s New York stage debut in 1931 immediately led to film offers and Laughton's first Hollywood film was the classic horror comedy The Old Dark House (1932, James Whale) with Boris Karloff. Laughton played a bluff Yorkshire businessman marooned during a storm with other travellers in a creepy mansion in the Welsh mountains. In the Encyclopedia of British Film, Anthony Slide calls it Laughton’s ‘greatest work in the US’. He then played a demented submarine commander in The Devil and the Deep (1932, Marion Gering) with Tallulah Bankhead, Gary Cooper and Cary Grant and followed this with his famous role as the perverted Nero in The Sign of the Cross (1932, Cecil B. DeMille). He also turned out a number of other memorable performances during that first Hollywood trip, repeating his stage role as a murderer in Payment Deferred (1932, Lothar Mendes), playing H. G. Wells's mad vivisectionist Dr. Moreau in Island of Lost Souls (1932, Erle C. Kenton), and the meek raspberry-blowing clerk in the brief segment of If I Had a Million (1932) that was directed by Ernst Lubitsch. In all, he appeared in six Hollywood films during 1932, a remarkable movie 'apprenticeship' which set him on course for instant international stardom. His association with film director Alexander Korda began with The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933), loosely based on the life of King Henry VIII of England. Laughton won an Academy Award for his role, the first British actor to do so. He continued to act occasionally in the theatre. After the success of The Private Life of Henry VIII he appeared at the Old Vic Theatre in 1933 in roles as Macbeth, Lopakin in The Cherry Orchard, Prospero in The Tempest and Angelo in Measure for Measure. His 1947 American production of a new English version of Bertolt Brecht's play Galileo became legendary. Laughton played the title role at the play's premiere in Los Angeles on 30 July 1947 and later that year in New York. This staging was directed by Joseph Losey. Laughton preferred a film career though and in 1933 he returned to Hollywood where his next film was White Woman (1933, Stuart Walker) in which he co-starred with Carole Lombard as a cockney river trader in the Malaysian jungle. Then came The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1934, Sidney Franklin) as Norma Shearer's overbearing father; Les Misérables (1935, Richard Boleslawski) as inspector Javert; and Ruggles of Red Gap (1935, Leo McCarey) as the very English and selfless butler transported to early 1900’s America. One of his most famous screen roles was Captain William Bligh in Mutiny on the Bounty (1935, Frank Lloyd), co-starring with Clark Gable as Fletcher Christian. Back in England, and again with Alexander Korda, he played the title role in Rembrandt (1936). In 1937, also for Korda, he starred in an ill-fated film version of Robert Graves’ classic novel, I, Claudius (1937, Josef von Sternberg), which was abandoned during filming owing to the injuries suffered by co-star Merle Oberon in a car crash. After I, Claudius, he and the ex-patriate German film producer Erich Pommer founded the production company Mayflower Pictures in the UK, which produced three films starring Laughton: Vessel of Wrath/The Beachcomber (1938, Erich Pommer), based on a story by W. Somerset Maugham, with Elsa Lanchester; St. Martin's Lane/Sidewalks of London (1938, Tim Whelan), a story about London street entertainers that also featured Vivien Leigh and Rex Harrison; and Jamaica Inn (1939, Alfred Hitchcock), with Maureen O'Hara. The latter was based on a novel about Cornish smugglers by Daphne du Maurier, and it was the last film Alfred Hitchcock directed in Britain before moving to Hollywood in the late 1930’s. The films produced were not successful enough, and the company was saved from bankruptcy when RKO Pictures offered Laughton the title role of Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939, William Dieterle). Laughton and Pommer had plans to make further films, but the outbreak of World War II, which implied the loss of many foreign markets, meant the end of the company.
Although the 1930’s were Charles Laughton’s best cinematic years, there were as well some remarkable post-1930’s performances. An example is the cowardly schoolmaster in occupied France in This Land is Mine (1943, Jean Renoir). He played a modest, henpecked husband who eventually murders his wife in The Suspect (1944), directed by Robert Siodmak, who later became a good friend of Laughton. He played sympathetically an impoverished composer-pianist in Tales of Manhattan (1942, Julien Duvivier) and starred in an updated version of Oscar Wilde's The Canterville Ghost (1944, Jules Dassin). Apart from these, he would enjoy his work in the two comedies he made with Deanna Durbin, It Started with Eve (1941, Henry Koster) and Because of Him (1946, Richard Wallace). He portrayed a bloodthirsty pirate in Captain Kidd (1945, Rowland V. Lee) and a malevolent judge in Alfred Hitchcock's The Paradine Case (1948) with Alida Valli. Laughton played a megalomaniac press tycoon in The Big Clock (1948, John Farrow) starring Ray Milland. Laughton made his first color film in Paris as Inspector Maigret in The Man on the Eiffel Tower (1949, Burgess Meredith). In 1950, Charles Laughton and Elsa Lanchester became American citizens. In one of his funniest roles of the 1950’s, he played a tramp in O. Henry's Full House (1952, Henry Koster a.o.), in which he had a one-minute scene with Marilyn Monroe. In later years he was frequently accused by the critics to ham, although he remained a popular star. He became a pirate again, buffoon style this time, in Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd (1952, Charles Lamont). He guest-starred in an episode of the Colgate Comedy Hour on TV that also featured Abbot and Costello and that was notable for his delivery of the Gettysburg Address. He played Herod Antipas in Salome (1953, William Dieterle) with Rita Hayworth in the title role, and repeated his role as Henry VIII in Young Bess (1953, George Sidney) starring Jean Simmons. He returned to England for a memorable turn in Hobson's Choice (1954, David Lean) as the patriarch brought to heel opposite John Mills. Laughton directed several plays on Broadway. His most notable box-office success as a director came in 1954, with The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, a full-length stage dramatization by Herman Wouk of the court-martial scene in Wouk's novel The Caine Mutiny. In 1955, Laughton directed (but did not act in) the film The Night of the Hunter. This poetic thriller has become a critical and cult favorite thanks to Laughton's intriguing combination of expressionism and realism, a fine script co-written by James Agee and compelling performances by an excellent cast headed by Robert Mitchum as a psychotic preacher and Lillian Gish as a resolute farm woman. At the time of its original release, however, it was a critical and box-office failure, and Laughton never had another chance to direct a film. Laughton received Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for his role as Sir Wilfrid Robarts in the screen version of Agatha Christie's play Witness for the Prosecution (1957, Billy Wilder) with Marlene Dietrich. He played a British admiral in the Italian war film Sotto dieci bandiere/Under Ten Flags (1960, Duilio Coletti) and worked for the only time with Laurence Olivier in Spartacus (1960, Stanley Kubrick) as a wily Roman senator. He also gave highly successful one-man reading tours for many years. His material ranged from the Bible to Jack Kerouac's The Dharma Bums. His final film was Advise and Consent (1962, Otto Preminger), for which he received favorable comments for his performance as a southern U.S. Senator (for which accent he studied recordings of Mississippi Senator John Stennis). Laughton worked on the film, which was directed by Otto Preminger, while he was dying from cancer. In January 1962 he was diagnosed with cancer after being hospitalized with a collapsed vertebrae following a fall in the bath. Over the course of his final eleven months, his weight dropped to just ninety pounds. Following Laughton's death in 1962, Laughton's wife Elsa Lanchester wrote a memoir in which she stated that they never had children because Laughton was actually homosexual. The lesbian and gay magazine Fyne Times writes about the couple: “Only two years into the marriage, Lanchester learnt of her husband’s homosexuality. Although she was initially shocked and deeply upset, over time the couple began to develop an altered relationship, one of close friendship. They decided to remain married, although both of them took lovers, and were instead constant companions, looking after and supporting each other as in any other marriage.”

Char Renault FT 17: '00626'
The Renault FT was also called "FT 17" although this specific naming was never acknowledged by Renault or any official working on the project.
It was to be related to the year 1917, like "modele 1917" as it was customary for many French weapons of the time, but this was introduced after the war.
"FT" has no meaning but was the next identification letters available for this project in Renault nomenclature (some authors suggested later "Faible Tonnage" "low tonnage" or "Franchisseur de Tranchées" "trench crosser"). It began as a concept, and became a personal project of Louis Renault, the famous car maker. He sought the ideal weight-to-ratio proportion for a more agile and faster tank than the Schneider CA-1 and the heavy Saint Chamond, and also a cheaper and easier model to produce.
All started after a meeting between Colonel Estienne and him at the Hotel Claridge in Paris. Until then, Louis Renault declined any involvement into tank production, claiming his lack of experience with tracked vehicles and other commitments. However, as an engineer he was taken up by the challenge, and after the meeting, started a practical study for a light vehicle, easy to manufacture with a reduced, unskilled workforce (factories had been depleted then by mass drafts and enlisting).
The Renault FT prototype included a rotating turret, a concept already tested with the Little Willie, a rear engine configuration, a front driver, with the turret operator (and commander) right behind. Compared to the short and narrow hull, the modified Holt chassis was big enough to allow sufficient grip on any ground. To manage large trench crossings a rear tail was mounted, which facilitates balance and hanging. Instead of "mobile fortresses" or "land cruisers", the Renaut FT seemed lightly armed, but the turret made it versatile and efficient in most circumstances.
The Renault 4-cylinder air-cooled petrol engine was started either by a rear crank or an internal one. It was handily reachable from above, protected by a large hood. The petrol tank was installed after the turret and before the engine, high for gravity and well-protected except from above. A steel chain was usually suspended on the rear tail in order to be used for towing another vehicle. Large metal boxes were suspended on the flanks, with shovels, picks, spanner and other tools, as well as sometimes additional fuel tanks and spare track links. There was no means of communication between the turret operator and driver and the interior was almost deafeningly noisy, so a kind of "kicking code" in the back, shoulders or even head of the driver was used to transmit steering orders. These were armed with a Puteaux M19 37 mm (1.45 in) short-barreled, low-velocity gun, or a coaxial Hotchkiss 7.92 mm (0.31 in) machine gun.
FT 17s after the First World War were in service with more than 20 countries around the world and took an active part in many military conflicts on different continents. It has become one of the most popular interwar model, and purchased by Finland, Estonia, Lithuania, Yugoslavia, Belgium, while Czechoslovakia, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Greece and Sweden tested it. The biggest buyer outside Europe was Brazil. The FT influence worldwide could not be underestimated: They were the very first US, Soviet and Italians tanks, generating close-copies and printing a profound mark on later developments.
There were still thousands of FTs in various conditions around the globe when the Second World War broke out. The bulk of this WWI vintage fleet was in France, mostly because of a late rearmament. Both the Renault R35 and Hotchkiss H35 were due to completely replace this model (almost 2800 light tanks combined in May 1940). But still around 1850 FTs were listed as of 1939, renamed "FT-31". These were rearmed version with the Reibel 7.5 mm (0.295 in) compact machine-gun, a gas-operated model originally designed to serve on the Maginot line. But this upgrade did not improve their limited capabilities in range and speed, although not worrying an ageing general staff still thinking in trench warfare terms. Many were stationed in the Colonies, others served in second line, some were in various depots or assigned to training units when the western campaign began. This fleet was seized by the Germans, and reused for various duties.
Numerous Renault FT-17s saw action during the three first years of the war. The Polish ones were committed when the Germans launched Fall Weiss, Finnish modified Neiraas and Koiraas fought as dug out pillboxes for ambushes during the winter campaign, the Belgian FT-18s were also at the stakes when the Werhmacht crossed the north-eastern border in May 1940. Later on in April 1941, the Yugoslavian FTs and a very few Greek models also saw action against the Panzerdivisions. In Indo-China, also in 1941, French colonial armoured brigades equipped with the FT-17 (in original conditions) opposed a Thai invasion. The very same year, Iran, still operating a small fleet of FTs was found mobilized during the Anglo-Soviet invasion of their country. Perhaps some of these were sold or sent to Afghanistan and found some years ago by G.I.s in a metal dump.
Off to look at the marvelous exhibition of contemporary Muslim calligraphy at the fine Islamic Arts Museum, we strolled first through the pleasant Lake Gardens, the Taman Tasik Perdana. Soon I was on my knees looking at a variety of ants. And then was startled just a bit...
There she was on a blade of grass, a small wingless female Mutillid Wasp, ca. 8 mm long. Superficially she looks very much like an ant though hairier, hence her common name: Velvet Ant. But beware: she's a Wasp and her sting can be so painful she's called a Cow Killer. Her beauty intrigued me so I spent some time carefully watching. I wasn't sure about her 'real' name but found a clue - with a spelling error - in A Guide to Common Insects (Draco Publishing, Singapore 2006). I think now she's Mickelidia pulchrinella, a name devised by Paolo Magretti (1854-1913), a versatile Italian entomologist in 1892. I'm not really sure, though, of that name. Anyone out there to help me? You've really got to be good at this: there are between 3000 and 5000 species of Mutillid Wasps!

National Museum of the US Air Force
Entering service in 1993, the C-17 Globemaster III is the US Air Force's newest, most versatile cargo aircraft to enter the airlift force. The C-17 is capable of rapid strategic delivery of troops and all types of cargo to main operating bases or directly to small, austere airfields. It can also perform tactical airlift and airdrop missions or transport litters and ambulatory patients during aeromedical evacuations.
A crew of three (pilot, copilot, and loadmaster) operates the C-17, which can carry about 170,000 pounds of cargo. The large aft door will accommodate almost all of the US Army's air-transportable vehicles and palletized cargo, including the Army's M-1 Abrams main battle tank. The C-17 can take off and land on runways as short as 3,500 feet and only 90 feet wide. Its four Pratt & Whitney F117-PW-100 engines can reverse their thrust to help slow it down on landings. The thrust reversers direct the engine exhaust upward and forward to prevent dust and debris from being pulled into the engine intakes. These reversible engines also allow the pilot to back the plane or even turn it around on a narrow runway using a three-point star turn method.
The Globemaster Ill on display is the prototype C-17. Built by the Douglas Aircraft Company, which is now Boeing, it was designated T-1 (serial number 87-0025). T-1 made its first flight on September 15, 1991, when it was delivered to the USAF at Edwards AFB, California, for testing. After completing the extensive C-17 flight test program, T-1 supported many other flight and propulsion test programs for the USAF, NASA, and others. T-1 also appeared in a number of major motion pictures, including Transformers (2007), Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009), Iron Man (2008), and Iron Man 2 (2010).
After twenty years of wide-ranging flight tests, T-1 had reached the end of its flying career, and it was retired at Edwards AFB in 2011. T-1 was flown to the Museum to begin its new career in April 2012.

The Lockheed Martin F-16 Fighting Falcon is a multirole jet fighter aircraft originally developed by General Dynamics for the United States Air Force. Although the F-16's official name is "Fighting Falcon", it is known to its pilots as the "Viper", due to it resembling a viper snake and after the Battlestar Galactica starfighter.
Designed as a lightweight, daytime fighter, it evolved into a successful multirole aircraft. The F-16's versatility is a major reason it has proven a success on the export market, having been selected to serve in the air forces of 25 nations. Over 4,400 aircraft have been built since production was approved in 1976. Though no longer being purchased by the U.S. Air Force, advanced versions are still being built for export customers. In 1993, General Dynamics sold its aircraft manufacturing business to the Lockheed Corporation, which in turn became part of Lockheed Martin after a 1995 merger with Martin Marietta.

Georgius (1891-1970), alias George Guibourg, alias Theodore Crapulet, was one of the most popular and versatile performers in Paris for more than 50 years." He was a famous singer and author of songs and appeared in a series of escapist films of the 1930s.
Georgius was born Georges Auguste Charles Guibourg in 1891 in Mantes-la-Ville, Yvelines, France. He was the son of Georges Charles Joseph Guibourg, a schoolteacher, editor of the Petit Mantais and then editor-in-chief of the weekly newspaper La France aérienne, and Clémentine Augustine Bouteilly. He began studying the piano at the age of 11 and at age 16 went to Paris where he performed on stage, singing extracts of traditional operettas and lovesongs. Over the next few years, his various engagements with cabarets progressed. He began to write comic songs. It was in 1912 that he really began his career as a chansonnier. Called to the Gaîté-Montparnasse theatre to replace a comic singer, his songs were so popular that the theatre signed him a contract for a year; he remained there for three years. In 1916 he began writing plays, which he then performed with his troupe, Les Joyeux Compagnons, created in 1919. In the 1920s and 1930s, he was a veritable phenomenon of the music hall. His best-known song at the time was 'La Plus Bath des javas', a parody of fashionable javas. He continued to tour and put on revues with his troupe, which was renamed the Théâtre Chantant in 1926. During this inter-war period, he became one of the most popular singers in Paris, performing at the Moulin Rouge, Bobino, Alhambra Club and the Casino de Paris. 1930 was a great year for him: he released 'La Route de Pen-Zac', which sold more than 160,000 records, a record for the time! The shows followed one another, and everyone rushed to see him.
Georgius wrote and played the leading role in his film debut, the farce Pas de femmes?/No Women? (Mario Bonnard, 1932) with Aimos and the young Fernandel in a supporting part. He wrote the story for the short Maison hantée/Haunted House (Roger Capellani, 1933) with Monette Dinay and Paulette Dubost. He co-starred with Dolly Davis in Un train dans la nuit/The Ghost Train (René Hervil, 1934). Throughout the 1930s he appeared in nine escapist comedies. In 1936, he had another success as a singer, with the song 'Au Lycée Papillon', which also broke sales records. It had a verse that is no longer sung today because it was anti-Semitic. Other hits followed: 'Ca c'est de la bagnole' and 'On ne peut pas plaire à tout le monde'. In 1938 he wrote and performed a comic song against Hitler:' Il travaille du pinceau' in which he made fun of the house painter (Hitler was a painter in his youth). He continued his revues during the war. In 1941, he played Sganarelle in Moliere's 'Le Médecin malgré lui' at the Comédie-Française. In 1941 and 1942, he was the artistic director of three theatres: the Théâtre de l'Étoile, the Théâtre Antoine and the Théâtre de l'Ambigu. After the war, he was banned from the stage for a year by the Comité National d'Épuration du Spectacle. The main reasons were that he had campaigned for the 'Association syndicale des auteurs et compositeurs professionnels' during the Occupation, with the complicity of Alain Laubreaux, and for having staged Alain Laubreaux's play about Stavisky, 'Les Pirates de Paris', in his theatre at the Ambigu. He became a scriptwriter and writer under the pseudonym Jo Barnais. He wrote detective novels as a writer of detective novels for the Série noire. His final film appearance was in Julien Duvivier's drama Sous le ciel de Paris/Under the Paris Sky (Julien Duvivier, 1951) with Brigitte Auber. He also left the stage in 1951. He was married to Julia Bidault, Marcelle Irvin and Huguette Proye and had two children. Georgius died in 1970 in Paris, aged 78. Georgius was the author of more than 1,500 songs, 2,000 sketches, numerous screenplays and a dozen detective novels.
