I chose this image because it clearly shows that EVERYTHING is made of atoms. In this painting, every detail is made with tiny little dots. In real life, those dots would be the atoms that make up our world. If everything is made of atoms, there must be a lot of different types of atoms-what exactly makes one atom different from another? Also, I think it makes sense that everything is made of atoms, but how exactly did people figure this out?
My idea was that some of my molecules once were on people like Shakespeare. I chose this because I never knew about this. It seems very cool that I have part of Shakespeare on me. It is very interesting that those molecules lasted that long and went so far. One question I had was, how did they travel, wouldn't they have went into the atmosphere if nothing was there to stop it? How did Shakespeare's molecules get on me?

One of my all-time favorite characters, Astro Boy (The Mighty Atom). The series is iconic in Japan. Despite running from 1952-68, there have been numerous reincarnations of the popular character. I like to think of Astro Boy as the Japanese equivalent to Mickey Mouse. He was the creation of Osamu Tezuka, who was a Disney fan, and was offered a job by Walt Disney when they met in 1964.

Bugger, Ray Barrett passed away today.
An Australian actor in the UK at the right time Barrett got to play multiple roles (Alan, John and The Hood and many others) in most episodes because he could convincingly pull off American accents. Listening to an Australian on foreign dominated television was almost as good as seeing the old "Herald Sun offices" in Melbourne as shown in Episode 6; The Mighty Atom
Although he'd done stacks of other film work, his 5 lines per episode per character is what I best remember him for. Saturday mornings are not complete without at least one TB episode. TB is still on the TV, 7 o'clock each Saturday. If you don't know the meaning of FAB then you're just haven't watched enough episodes.
And to think I'd been neglecting adding images from this years calender.

Jimmy Wilde is a legend. 'The Ghost With A Hammer In His Hand' was inducted into the World Boxing Hall of Fame in 1959; he was also inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. In a 13 year career he lost only 4 of 149 fights (99 wins by knock out and remained unbeaten for 101 fights!). He is, without doubt, the greatest flyweight of all time. Answers to the question, 'Who is the greatest fighter of all time?' will provide many differing opinions but there is no doubt that Jimmy Wilde is certainly one of the greatest, quite possibly THE GREATEST.
Jimmy Wilde was born 15th May, 1892 in Quakers Yard, Merthyr Tydfil. At the age of twelve his family moved to Tylorstown, Rhondda where Jimmy began his working life in the coal mines there. At the age of 16 Jimmy began fighting in boxing booths. It is estimated that he fought anywhere in the region of between 500 - 1000 fights when including the bouts he engaged in during these boxing booth days. The booth fights would hone Jimmy's skills and begin his legendary status. For he fought hundreds of opponents, mostly all of which were several stones (1 stone = 14lbs) heavier than himself, and indeed fought as many as 25 opponents in one day!! For a day in the boxing booths Jimmy could earn the equivalent to a weeks wages in the coal mines.
After building a fantastic reputation for himself in the boxing booths of Wales, Jimmy had his first professional contest against Les Williams in a three round no decision. He then embarked on a series of wins that would later establish him as a legend of the fight game. Wilde remained unbeaten for four years and a total of 101 fights (or depending on what book you read -103, including no decisions). They came, they saw and in the vast majority of cases they were knocked out. During the run of 19 wins Jimmy had met and beaten Joe Symonds, for the second time, by way of a 12th round K.O. At the time, 1916, Symonds was regarded in Britain as the World Flyweight Champion. Another claimant to the World flyweight title was Johnny Rosner, but he too succumbed to the power of the 'Mighty Atom' as he was defeated in eleven rounds. However, Jimmy was still not universally recognised as World Champion until later that same year. Jimmy Wilde's destiny was fulfilled when on 18th December 1916 he became the first officially recognised World Flyweight Champion by defeating Young Zulu Kid, of America. Zulu Kid was 3 inches shorter than Wilde and could not match his speed and power, resulting in a battering for the 11 rounds the contest lasted.
But the story of one of Wales' true sporting greats has a tragic end.
He was mugged on a Cardiff railway platform in 1965 (the same year as his wife's death) and spent his last four years in Whitchurch (mental health) Hospital, dying at the age of 76.

This exhibition brings to life the art of manga, looking at how it emerged in Japan and grew to be a worldwide cultural phenomenon. It explores manga’s enduring appeal and cultural crossover, showcasing original Japanese manga and its enormous influence, from anime to gaming to ‘cosplay’ performance art. From earlier forms such as the comic or dramatic designs by famous Japanese artists Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849), Kawanabe Kyōsai (1831-1889) and others through to the 21st century, today there is indeed a manga for everyone.
