The BBC was the Borrowing Book Club, a club started by me, the President was me, the rules were made and enforced by me. I was a budding dictator. The club disbanded when my club members informed me that they wanted new elections and someone else to have a turn as President. Well!! I am chagrined whenever I remember that.
Anyway, here was my 5th grade newsletter. And I don't recall either the Pink or the Red jacket.

Astronauts from five space agencies around the world take part in ESA’s CAVES training course– Cooperative Adventure for Valuing and Exercising human behaviour and performance Skills.
The three-week course prepares astronauts to work safely and effectively in multicultural teams in an environment where safety is critical.
As they explore caves they encounter caverns, underground lakes and strange microscopic life. They test new technology and conduct science – just as if they were living on the International Space Station.
The six astronauts have to rely on their own skills, teamwork and ground control to achieve their mission goals – the course is designed to foster effective communication, decision-making, problem-solving, leadership and team dynamics.
The six cavenauts of this edition of CAVES are ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst, NASA astronauts Joe Acaba and Jeanette Epps, Roscosmos’ cosmonaut Nikolai Chub, Canadian Space Agency astronaut Josh Kutryk and Japan’s space agency Takuya Onishi.

Set of photos of pages from an old Special Traffic Notice detailing the arrangements in connection with the introduction of colour light signalling through East Croydon and Purley on the Brighton Main Line some 60 years ago in May 1955.
Fascinating stuff for me to see in the 18 page document including (in no particular order):-
Twelve hour clock.
Blackboards to be exhibited in prominent positions (page 2).
Yeovil Town to Gravesend Central milk train (page 2).
Coulsdon North station being open at weekends.
Victoria to provide brake van for Redhill portion of diverted 9.30pm Parcels from Victoria to Brighton (page 4).
Light engine movements to Bricklayers Arms Shed.
'Road motor' replacement for staff between various locations.
4.45am & 4.50am (Pass & News) from London Bridge being diverted via the Mid Kent line, Selsdon and Oxted as well as running south of East Grinstead to Horsted Keynes and then via Ardingly to Haywards Heath. (page 9).
5.15am (Pass & News) from East Croydon to Bognor Regis starting from London Bridge and running via the Mid Kent line, Oxted, Crowhurst Spur to Edenbridge, where a Turnover Engine (TE) took the train to Redhill where another 'TE' took the train on towards the Sussex coast '8 minutes later thence' (page 9).
9.28pm (Pass & Postal) from Margate to Cannon Street running via Edenbridge, Crowhurst Spur, Oxted, Selsdon and the Mid Kent line (page 10).
The interesting freight movements on pages 14 & 15 (including empty wooden mineral wagons to Merstham) with trains either being worked by Electric Locos (EL) or Steam Hauled (SH). Some of the freights were revised to run via Horsham and Shorehan by Sea via Steyning.
District Inspector Anscombe had a busy couple of nights being in attendance at Horsham Yard from 11.0pm Saturday and Three bridges Yard from 10.0pm Sunday.
For me I think the best part is the simplicity of it all, just an 18 page traffic notice for introduction of colour light signalling over one Saturday night. 60 years on of course and there would now be Project Managers and the like and the line would be shut all weekend. Still at least things are more efficient now aren't they!................
I ran out of space in the title page of "The Space Tourist's Handbook," so when I saw an opportunity for Barbara M. Barrett - yes, the former ambassador, who was the backup to Guy Laliberte - to sign my book, I picked this page. I liked the sentiment: "A trip to outer space is like no vacation you've ever experienced ... and now such a trip is available to the general public."
And since I started this page, I thought it a good place to get signed by So-yeon Yi. Yi, although not a spaceflight participant through Space Adventures, flew on board the Soyuz spacecraft through a South Korean government initiative, paying about USD $26 million to do so. Yi was originally the alternate (to San Ko) but switched placed due to allegations of several violations of training protocol by Ko.

Here comes the new Moleskine Folio products arriving stores soon. ITOYA will be the first to have a global preview event on 23rd March 2010, while city'super is working with Moleskine to have a fun way to peek at Folio and other stuffs in people's bags starting in mid-May 2010.
I'm not going to go through the complete line up here, I will be skipping the 2-rings binder and binder set which consists of expandable pocket, tabbed dividers etc. Instead I'll tell you what I think after using some of them for the past few days.
The most impressive is the smart looking slim document holder simply called "Folder". It is made with the same material of the soft cover notebook, so it gives you the soft touch of leather with a layer of paper lining. You can easily carry a 100 sheets of 100 gsm A4 or letter size paper despite its slimness. Believe me this looks real smart in meetings, especially when you open the flap like an envelope to pull out a nicely printed document. Priced at HK$165, expensive yes, but it gives you the professional look you may need in presentations.
The next Folio product I like is the A4 Print Paper in ROUNDED CORNERS! I don't know about you but I love rounded corner photos a lot and this extends to cards and papers. This tiny aesthetic element seems to elevate what you want to show to a new level, well, to me. I have very nice result writing with fine nib fountain pen and with Tradio fibre pen from Pentel, no bleed at all, but don't expect to use the back side of the paper once used. Did I say it is CREAM in color? Realize the background color of my Scription blog? Oh and I have a cream color Strida bike too :) Compatible with laser or inkjet printers, it comes in packs of 50 sheets of 100 gsm papers. HK$115 per pack, which rounds up HK$2.3 per page. It costs to look good, I think they should put a Moleskine watermark on these papers.
2 other new products are called Folio Tools. They are pocket sized Memo Cards and StickNotes, both comes in black paper jacket. I like the Memo Cards' 200 gsm cream colored, rounded corners paper, which can be used as presentation cue cards, to-do list etc, but I'm expecting to see people come up with creative ideas using them. I mean think about it, they are Moleskine Cards! The package comes with 10 ruled and 10 squared cards but they are blank on the back. The down side of this is that ink or water based pigments don't settle into the paper that well, sort of like the Moleskine Sketch Book type of paper. Phew, HK$78 per pack (20 cards).
StickNotes is not what I need however. I can't think of reasons to use it instead of a simple pack of post-it, except that the paper is … cream with rounded corners, that's just me. I found it strange that the paper lean towards white more than cream comparing with other Moleskine papers, maybe they want to distinguish it from Post-it too badly. The glue is a bit too strong so pulling out a piece of StickNote curls up the edge, not very pleasant to me. However the tack strength of glue on objects is just fine. In this case, there is a reason why Post-it is Post-it, their glue is made by special polymer in microspheres which has a unique universal design quality, i.e. strong enough to hold and stick, easy enough for anybody to pull apart. As for the StickNotes price, it is HK$78 per pack.

Captioned "at border W.A & N.T Taken by M. P. Durack his Ford in bgrnd- c.1929" - REAR
Although captioned as 1929 recent research into Governor Campion's visit finds this took place in 1927, soon after completion of the Kimberley Obelisk by the WA Survey crew, which is backed up by the new un-weathered look of the concrete. This new date is confirmed by the content of the article below and a diary entry from MP Durack's diary.
GOVERNOR IN NORTH. (1927, July 2). The West Australian (Perth, WA : 1879-1954), p. 13. Retrieved July 9, 2011, from nla.gov.au/nla.news-article32037103
Patsy Millett has also provided us an entry from her grandfather, MP Durack's diary for this day, which gives us an exact date of June 26th 1927.
26/6/27 – "Out at 9am to border pillar with Governor (Campion), Major Nicholls, Patsy (PM Durack) and self. Took a number of photos."
Patsy has added, "The photo of the two men having a drink at the pillar will be Campion and Major Nicholls. ( I presume Nicholls in the Campion party which included his chauffer shipped up with the official car – though MP’s car used on this occasion."
[Major-General Major Kenneth Nicholl was A.D.C. to Governor Campion - “A.D.C.” = Aide-de-camp, a personal assistant, secretary, or adjutant to a person of high rank - KHS]
In 1921 the WA and SA government astronomers determined the WA/NT border on the ground using radio time signals. In 1927 the Kimberley Obelisk was erected using the earlier determinations, by the WA Lands and Surveys Department, on the northern 129 degree border of Rosewood and Argyle stations. A copper plug in the top of this obelisk marks the WA/NT (hence this part of the Rosewood/Argyle) border on the ground. A line is run south to the 26th parallel and a line run north through a similar obelisk at Deakin near the Trans-Continental Railway line. Due to early days inaccuracies, where they meet at the 26th parallel, was marked and in 1968 an agreement made to establish "Surveyor General's Corner," where there is now a section of the WA/NT border that runs east-west for about 125 metres. So the WA border is not as straight as it looks!

WA/NT Border and these events on the KHS Web Site.
