FRONT COVER: this was my dad's christmas gift this year...a little 4x4 album that had 2 pages dedicated to each grandchild and what they love most about him. it was super fast and simple once i got a rhythm going...only took me about 2 hours start to finish. i mixed the jan kit with a jb mini album, bingo card and a rubon for the front. each title of the bingo card goes with what each kid said about him (for example: my nephew said he likes everything about him...so i made his card hero. my neice shanie said she liked that he helped her learn new things...so i used the learn card for her)

The Postcard

A carte postale that was published by I. P. M. of Paris. The card was posted in Les Andelys using a 10c stamp on Monday the 27th. April 1914, one hundred days before Great Britain declared war on Germany to initiate the greatest conflict that the world had ever seen.

The card was sent to:

Miss Brett,

'Fairhaven',

Burgh Heath,

Surrey,

England.

The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:

"Petit Andelys,

26. 4. 1914.

We are spending the

weekend in this

wonderfully beautiful

place, and are lodged

just at the side of the

bridge.

I think you know all the

other places we have

seen, but I don't

remember you mentioning

this place. I hope you will

see it some day.

C. P."

The Explosion on Board the Kometa

So what else happened on the day that C. P. posted the card?

Well, on the 27th. April 1914, the Russian steamer Kometa exploded off the coast of Algeria, killing half of the 30-man crew and injuring nine more.

Albert Soboul

The day also marked the birth, in Ammi Moussa, Algeria, of the Algerian-French historian Albert Soboul.

Albert, who specialized in the French Revolution and Napoleonic periods, died at his family home in Nimes on the 13th. September 1982 at the age of 68.

Joseph Harold Moore

Also born on the 27th. April 1914, in Florence, South Carolina, was the American air force officer Joseph Harold Moore.

On the 11th. December 1959, Joseph received the Bendix Trophy for flying a F-105 Thunderchief over a 100 kilometer closed course in order to establish a world speed record of 1,216 mph.

Joseph, who was leader of Operation Rolling Thunder during the Vietnam War, died in San Antonio, Texas at the age of 92 in 2006. He was laid to rest at Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery.

Mick Hucknall torna in concerto con i suoi Simply Red al Mediolanum Forum di Assago per festeggiare trent'anni di carriera con il loro Big Love Tour.

Dopo aver influenzato numerosi giovani artisti nel corso degli anni, i Simply Red tornano con una sorta di rinascita, e sono ancora apprezzati come una delle più grandi band inglesi di sempre.

La band ha concluso i primi 25 anni ininterrotti di carriera con un concerto alla O2 Arena di Londra nel 2010, e ora è arrivato il momento di tornare sul palco insieme. ‘Mi piacciono gli anniversari, e questo è uno importante’, ha detto Mick Hucknall, ‘è il momento giusto’.

Il cantante - così come si chiama il suo vino prodotto in provincia di Catania, dove Hucknall vive per buona parte dell'anno - con i Simply Red, in trent'anni di carriera, con 60 milioni di album venduti in tutto il mondo, vantano un repertorio senza tempo, che comprende le hit ‘Holding Back The Years’, ‘If You Don’t Know Me By Now’, ‘Something Got Me Started’, ‘The Right Thing’, ‘Stars’, ‘Fairground’ , ‘The Air That I Breathe’ e ‘Sunrise’.

E nel frattempo fonda etichette reggae, si attiva in politica, apre un ristorante a Parigi con gli amici del cuore Johnny Depp, John Malkovich e Sean Penn.

Talento, originalità e la capacità di apparire ogni volta in una veste nuova, sempre sorprendente. Qualche esempio? Bastone da passeggio e maglione di lana alla Oliver Twist per il Platino Picture Book.

I Simply Red sono: Mick Hucknall (voce), Ian Kirkham (sassofono), Kenji Suzuki (chitarra), Steve Lewinson (basso), Dave Clayton (tastiere), Roman Roth (batteria), e Kevin Robinson (tromba e flauto).

Tre uomini e quattro “bastoni”: le bacchette della batteria di Pat Mastelotto, vigoroso drummer in forze ai King Crimson, più gli stick a dodici corde suonati da Tony Levin (altro cortigiano del Re Cremisi, oltre che inseparabile spalla di Peter Gabriel) e da Markus Reuter, il ragazzino del gruppo.

Si sono battezzati Tony Levin Stickman Trio in onore proprio al Chapman Stick, perno strumentale della loro originale proposta musicale. “Ha dodici corde, sei di basso e sei di chitarra, e un’uscita stereo” spiega Levin “Suonando con Gabriel e con i Crimson io l’ho sempre utilizzato principalmente come un basso, è’ dotato di corde ma può anche essere percosso ricorrendo alla tecnica del tapping, dunque lo si può impiegare contemporaneamente per la ritmica e per le parti soliste, proprio come un pianoforte.

In studio e dal vivo, nell’ampio spazio che lasciano all’improvvisazione e nella costruzione geometrica dei suoni, è evidente la matrice crimsoniana della loro ispirazione (sul palco propongono anche classici come “Red”).

L’irresistibile miscela ritmica e armonica di rock funkeggiante, progressive, avanguardia e jazz, con Tony anche cantante, è il risultato e allo stesso tempo l’ennesimo punto di partenza e destino di una vena creativa brulicante, di una la ricerca impegnata ma con un risultato tutt’altro che difficile.

Chiunque può apprezzarli; dai rockettari, ai jazzofili, a chiunque ami muovere bacino, mani e piedi in turbini irresistibili. Ascoltare per credere. Tecnologico e contemporaneo, ma sempre caldo e pregnante, il suono di Stick Man, l’ultimo album.

Lizzo, la nuova promessa dell'R&B mondiale, arriva a Milano per la prima volta il 10 luglio al Magnolia di Segrate in occasione dell'unica tappa italiana del suo primo tour mondiale.

Finalmente in Italia l'artista che sta conquistando le classifiche di mezzo mondo con Juice!

Se esiste un personaggio del momento nella scena globale musicale quello è Lizzo.

La cantante texana che ha stregato il pubblico di Coachella e ha monopolizzato le radio con il singolo “Juice” salirà sul palco del Magnolia per quello che si preannuncia come uno degli eventi più attesi dell’estate live milanese.

Nata nel 1988 a Detroit, Lizzo (Melissa Viviane Jefferson all'anagrafe) cresciuta a Houston, in Texas, e si è trasferita a Minneapolis, nel Minnesota, nel 2011.

Dopo aver dato il via alla sua carriera come rapper (la cantante ha alle spalle due dischi, Lizzobangers e Big Grrrl Small World) si rimette in gioco come artista soul, mescolando le sonorità tipiche della musica black con spunti funky e anni '80 che si sposano alla perfezione nella hit Juice.

Il suo terzo disco, Cuz I Love you, è stato pubblicato lo scorso 19 aprile e include collaborazioni con Gucci Mane e Missy Elliott.

Dopo aver lottato con problemi corporei in tenera età, Lizzo sostiene la positività del corpo e l'amor proprio, focalizzandosi della diversità, in relazione al proprio corpo (in "Fitness" e "Juice"), alla sessualità ("Boys"), colore della pelle ("My skin") e altro.

Il suo gruppo di ballerini di back-up, i Big Grrrls, è composto da tutti i ballerini più grandi. Evidenziando l'inclusività del corpo e celebrando l'individualità, Lizzo è apparsa nella campagna "Say It Louder" di ModCloth. È stata lanciato l'11 giugno 2018.

Nello stesso mese, ha sfoggiato il primo abito plus size realizzato per la sfilata FIT di Future of Fashion di Grace Insogna in un evento LGBTQ a Pride Island.

I 2Cellos sono un duo di violoncellisti composto da Luka Šulić (Slovenia, nato nel 1987) e Stjepan Hauser (Croazia, 1986).

Provenienti entrambi dal panorama musicale classico, nel 2011 formano il duo arrangiando brani di musica contemporanea in chiave moderna, ulitizzando solamente i loro due violoncelli per le esecuzioni. Nel gennaio dello stesso anno pubblicano un video musicale su YouTube in cui eseguono il brano di Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal diventando un vero e proprio fenomeno del web. Sempre nel 2011, il brano esce come singolo, seguito da un altro singolo Welcome to the Jungle, cover dei Guns N' Roses estratti dal loro primo album e disponibili entrambi in download digitale.

La loro incredibile bravura colpisce sir Elton John che li invita ad unirsi al suo gruppo e ad esibirsi con lui nell'ultimo tour mondiale del 2011, comprese le uniche tre date italiane dello stesso anno.

E non solo lui. Il successo dei 2Cellos li ha portati ad esibirsi anche con i Red Hot Chili Peppers e a pubblicare un secondo album, IN2ITION. Per poi proseguire una carriera senza fine. Pensate al pop, stravolgetelo, cucitelo addosso alle corde di uno strumento classico.

Oltre 86 milioni di views per il loro canale Youtube, oltre 24 milioni solo per il video di Thunderstruck. Sold out ovunque già in prevendita in tutto il mondo.

The Postcard

A postally unused carte postale that was published by G. Lelong of 21, Rue St.-Martin, Amiens. The card was printed by Catala Frères of Paris.

By 1914 the Basilica had sustained immense structural damage, along with the loss of its entire roof.

Abba Eban

"History teaches us that men and

nations behave wisely when they

have exhausted all other alternatives".

This was said during a speech in London UK on 16th. December 1970 by Abba Eban (1915-2002), an Israeli diplomat and writer.

Visé Paris No. 228

The card bears the imprimatur 'Visé Paris' followed by a unique reference number. This means that the image was inspected and deemed by the military authorities in the French capital not to be a security risk.

'Visé Paris' indicates that the card was published during or soon after the Great War.

The Use of Artillery in the Great War

Artillery was very heavily used by both sides during the Great War. The British fired over 170 million artillery rounds of all types, weighing more than 5 million tons - that's an average of around 70 pounds (32 kilos) per shell.

With an average length of two feet, that number of shells if laid end to end would stretch for 64,394 miles (103,632 kilometres). That's over two and a half times round the Earth. If the artillery of the Central Powers of Germany and its allies is factored in, the figure can be doubled to 5 encirclements of the planet.

During the first two weeks of the Third Battle of Ypres, over 4 million rounds were fired at a cost of over £22,000,000 - a huge sum of money, especially over a century ago.

Artillery was the killer and maimer of the war of attrition.

According to Dennis Winter's book 'Death's Men' three quarters of battle casualties were caused by artillery rounds. According to John Keegan ('The Face of Battle') casualties were:

- Bayonets - less than 1%

- Bullets - 30%

- Artillery and Bombs - 70%

Keegan suggests however that the ratio changed during advances, when massed men walking line-abreast with little protection across no-man's land were no match for for rifles and fortified machine gun emplacements.

Many artillery shells fired during the Great War failed to explode. Drake Goodman provides the following information on Flickr:

"During World War I, an estimated one tonne of explosives was fired for every square metre of territory on the Western front. As many as one in every three shells fired did not detonate. In the Ypres Salient alone, an estimated 300 million projectiles that the British and the German forces fired at each other were "duds", and most of them have not been recovered."

To this day, large quantities of Great War matériel are discovered on a regular basis. Many shells from the Great War were left buried in the mud, and often come to the surface during ploughing and land development.

For example, on the Somme battlefields in 2009 there were 1,025 interventions, unearthing over 6,000 pieces of ammunition weighing 44 tons.

Artillery shells may or may not still be live with explosive or gas, so the bomb disposal squad, of the Civilian Security of the Somme, dispose of them.

A huge mine under the German lines did not explode during the battle of Messines in 1917. The mine, containing several tons of ammonal and gun cotton, was triggered by lightning in 1955, creating an enormous crater.

The precise location of a second mine which also did not explode is unknown. Searches for it are not planned, as they would be too expensive and dangerous. For more on this, please search for "Cotehele Chapel"

The Somme Times

From 'The Somme Times', Monday, 31 July, 1916:

'There was a young girl of the Somme,

Who sat on a number five bomb,

She thought 'twas a dud 'un,

But it went off sudden -

Her exit she made with aplomb!'
