In 1962, Roald Dahl's daughter Olivia died of measles.
In twelve hours.
Now, children are dying again for the same reason — they weren’t vaccinated.
It doesn't have to be this way.

Donald Trump is en route to Saudi Arabia for what he's describing as a 'historic' tour of the Middle East. FRANCE 24's Sharon Gaffney speaks to Giorgio Cafiero, CEO of Gulf State Analytics. He says that the US seems to be undergoing a "shift in foreign policy whereby the US is not walking away from Israel" but is "a little more oriented towards US relationships with the Gulf Arab monarchies and less oriented around Israel".

Ugh.
“Newsom also warned cities that they should not prohibit camping at all times across the entire city if no shelter beds are available, and that they should “prioritize shelter and services.” He said cities should store belongings confiscated during encampment sweeps and give their owners a chance to claim them. He suggested cities give encampment residents a 48-hour warning before a sweep.
Newsom’s model ordinance would ban all camping — including sleeping with a sleeping bag or blanket — in one place for three days or nights in a row. Unless a city has enough shelter beds or affordable housing to offer their entire homeless population — which is almost never the case — that means people would be forced to pack up their belongings and move at least 200 feet every three days.”

_The Evening Post_, 13 May 1925:
ON THE THRESHOLD OF PARLIAMENT
SILENT TRIBUTE OF THE PEOPLE
FILING PAST THE DEAD
The casket bearing the mortal remains of the late Prime Minister lay throughout to-day in state in the vestibule of #Parliament Buildings, and thousands of people took the opportunity of paying a silent tribute to the memory of the dead, filing reverently past the catafalque in a constant stream from a comparatively early hour.
…
The day was in full harmony with the occasion—a soft, sad, mild day of late autumn, with the mists still lingering in a gentle haze over the city after last night's rain.… with a subtle atmosphere of rest after the turmoil of life.
…
The moving throng continued all through the morning in a varying stream, but never ceasing. Visitors from the country could be noted unmistakably, farmers and local body representatives…. Women were numerous, during the business hours of the day especially, and there were always children waiting outside while their mothers went through with the procession. The number who paid their last tribute during the day must have run into many thousands.

Yesterday I mentioned that Bristol Cars was founded on the basis of BMW designs and engineering picked up as reparations in the aftermath of the Second World War. By the same token, several British and American manufacturers were offered the Volkswagen operation, and famously they all turned it down. The rest, as they say, is history. I saw this early split rear window Volkswagen (‘Brezelkäfer’) at Techno Classica Essen in 2017.

Snow Crystals | Wilson Bentley via Iconic Photos
[Shared]When Wilson Bentley died in 1931, his hometown newspaper eulogized him thus: “Longfellow said that genius is infinite painstaking. John Ruskin declared that genius is only a superior power of seeing. Wilson Bentley was a living example of this type of genius.”
A fine accolade for a photographer. Born in Vermont to a family prosperous enough to gift him a microscope at his 15th birthday, Bentley, for the next half a century, would go on to perfect a process of photographing snowflakes on black velvet...

The image displays a collection of twelve snowflakes arranged in a 3x4 grid against a black background. Each snowflake is intricately detailed, showcasing unique patterns and structures. The snowflakes vary in design, with some featuring more complex and symmetrical patterns, while others have simpler, more delicate structures. The central snowflake in the middle row is particularly prominent, with a complex and symmetrical design. The snowflakes are monochromatic, with white details on a black background, emphasizing their intricate designs. The image appears to be a page from a book, as indicated by the page number "180" at the bottom center.

Here is the back of the plane, with the stud to tap to release the blade.
Now the issue is to learn how to tap the blade to move it the right amount.
To give a ⅜ strike rather than a full strike is somehow hard to quantify 😄
It looks to good to be your first?
I realised, after, talking to you that the joint I was seeing was just the different colour of the wood that had been removed from where the wedge is inserted😵💫

I have other old planes, but they are too "abused", so I buy a new one (cheap Chinese product, I guess) to learn how it works before to restore the old ones.
A $127 plane¹ bought now would be a bit of waste, with my current planing skills.

China’s experimental T-Flight maglev train, developed by CASIC, is pushing the boundaries of high-speed transport, targeting 965 kmh — slashing Beijing-Shanghai trips to just 1.5 hours. Early tests in 2024 hit 623 kph on a 2 km track, surpassing Japan’s maglev record, and achieved low-vacuum tube operation, critical for minimizing air resistance.
One quirky benefit of being a Communist Dictatorship is that you don't have a few dozen wealthy corporate moguls telling the gov't not to compete "against them" (hindering progress.)
