"The Temporal Cold War has become an all-out conflict. Temporal agents, dozens of them stationed throughout the timeline. They've been given orders to change history."
– Daniels, 1944 ("Storm Front")
In an alternate timeline, the Temporal War was a great conflict that stretched across time.
The Temporal War began when a rogue time-traveling faction, the Na'kuhl, returned to the 29th century after making several changes to Earth's history. With this egregious violation of the Temporal Accord, all the time-traveling factions began attempting to wipe out the others from existence. As a result, an already-existing Cold War escalated into a full-scale conflict.
Prelude Edit
After being defeated in the Temporal War by the last of the temporal agents, the Na'kuhl Vosk escaped through stealth time travel to the 1944 of an alternate timeline where he and his faction used 20th century technology to build a temporal conduit to return to their own time. Once in their own time, the Na'kuhl defeated the temporal agents and the Temporal Cold War turned into a full Temporal War with each faction causing dozens of changes throughout the timeline in an attempt to wipe each other out.
In a desperate attempt to avert the Temporal War, the temporal agent known as Daniels transports Enterprise NX-01 and Captain Jonathan Archer back to the alternate 1944 at the end of the of the Xindi incident where by stopping Vosk from returning to his own time period, the Temporal War can be averted and the timeline restored to normal. The Suliban Cabal's mysterious benefactor also dispatched Silik to stop Vosk and gain the plans for the temporal conduit so he could use the technology for himself and his own faction.
After arriving in 1944, Enterprise and her crew learned of the altered timeline and Vosk's presence. Before dying, Daniels informed them of the events leading up to the Temporal War and the need to kill Vosk to prevent it. As Vosk's compound was equipped with shields, Archer decides to enlist the aid of Silik to enter the compound lower the shields so that Enterprise can bomb it and destroy the temporal conduit. With the help of Alicia Travers, Archer is able to enlist the aid of the American Resistance to attack the compound as a distraction. As the Enterprise was damaged by Vosk's plasma cannon, it will need to get close enough to bomb the compound directly using visual scanners. (ENT: "Storm Front", "Storm Front, Part II")
Battle over New York Edit
Under the command of Carmine, a group of American Resistance Fighters assault the entrance to Vosk's compound, killing several Nazi soldiers. As the resistance fighters start to get outgunned, Alicia arrives with more fighters. The Na'kuhl detect the development but Vosk sees it as a fortuitous development, telling Kraul that the Nazis will be too distracted dealing with the resistance fighters to interrupt their preparations to return to the 29th century.
As the resistance fighters distract the Nazis, Archer and Silik sneak to a side door into the compound which is locked from the inside. Silik is able to use his Suliban enhancements to make his way through a vent next to the door and let Archer into the compound. Archer reports on the developments to T'Pol who informs him that the Enterprise will have to enter the atmosphere in order to target the facility. Archer orders her to do so once the compound's shields are down. Despite having to briefly hide from enemy forces, Archer is able to use a console and the information from Silik's data disk to lower the compound's shields. Archer and Silik are then engaged by Nazis and take them out, but not before Silik is shot and mortally wounded. Though Archer tries to signal Enterprise for beam out, he is unable to reach them due to ionization in the atmosphere and Silik dies moments later. Attempting to leave the facility, Archer encounters Trip who had been previously trapped there by Silik. After seeing Silik's body, Trip realizes Archer is who he says he is and they flee the compound together.
After Archer lowers the shields around the compound, T'Pol orders the Enterprise into Earth's atmosphere. Detecting the development, Vosk orders the plasma cannon deployed, but his men aren't able to spare the power while attempting to use the temporal conduit. Instead, Vosk orders his squadron deployed. The Nazi Generalmajor attempts to take the squadron from Vosk, but Vosk kills him and his men and orders his squadron deployed.
On the Enterprise Reed reports that targeting scanners can't get a lock and switches to visual scanners. T'Pol orders the Enterprise slowed to 200kph as Hoshi Sato detects the launch of Vosk's squadron.
Outisde the compound, Trip and Archer emerge and Carmine has Nicky Giorgo cover their retreat. Archer warns Carmine of the coming bombing and has the resistance fighters flee. Archer promises Alicia to restore her life to normal and he and Trip beam back to the Enterprise.
On the Enterprise, the crew initially believes the approaching squadron to be harmless but discover them to be equipped with plasma cannons. Archer enters and takes command ordering photonic torpedos prepared as the Enterprise uses her phase cannons to fight off the squadron.
In the compound, the Na'khul are successfully able to open the temporal conduit into the future and Vosk prepares to return to his own time. Moments before Vosk can return to the 29th century, Reed reports he has the compound targeted and Archer orders him to fire. Closing to point-blank range, the Enterprise fires three photonic torpedoes at the compound, destroying it as Vosk enters the conduit, destroying the conduit before it can be used and killing Vosk. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")
Following the death of Vosk, the restored Daniels informs Archer that the Enterprise was successful: Vosk was killed before he could return to the 29th century and spark the Temporal Cold War into a full Temporal War. With Vosk's death, all of the damage to history is reversed and the correct timeline is restored. Daniels tells Archer that the battle ended the Temporal Cold War for good and returns Archer and the Enterprise to their own time. (ENT: "Storm Front, Part II")

Ilium is a science fiction novel by American writer Dan Simmons, the first part of the Ilium/Olympos cycle, concerning the re-creation of the events in the Iliad on an alternate Earth and Mars. These events are set in motion by beings who have taken on the roles of the Greek gods. Like Simmons' earlier series, the Hyperion Cantos, the novel is a form of "literary science fiction" which relies heavily on intertextuality, in this case with Homer and Shakespeare, as well as periodic references to Marcel Proust's À la recherche du temps perdu (or In Search of Lost Time)  and Vladimir Nabokov's novel Ada or Ardor: A Family Chronicle. In July 2004, Ilium received a Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel of 2004.

Plot summary
The novel centers on three character groups: that of Hockenberry (a resurrected twentieth-century Homeric scholar whose duty is to compare the events of the Iliad to the reenacted events of the Trojan War), Greek and Trojan warriors, and Greek gods from the Iliad; Daeman, Harman, Ada, and other humans of an Earth thousands of years after the twentieth century; and the "moravec" robots (named for scientist and futurist Hans Moravec) Mahnmut the Europan and Orphu of Io, also thousands of years in the future, but originating in the Jovian system. The novel is written in first-person, present-tense when centered on Hockenberry's character, but features third-person, past-tense narrative in all other instances. Much like Simmons' Hyperion, where the actual events serve as a frame, the three groups of characters' stories are told over the course of the novel and begin to converge as the climax nears.

Reception
Ilium won the Locus Award for Best Science Fiction Novel in 2004, and was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novel, that same year.

On Grief, The Whys, And Being Helpers.
And because God meets us where we are, we know that God is with us even amidst the worst that happens in the world around us—in our communities and across the globe. It was devastating to listen to the news reports about the destruction and violence in Paris, a city I visited while we were stationed in Germany, my favorite of all the cities I have ever visited. I prayed for the people of France and for all those affected by the violence, but my words felt insufficient.
Then I read about the horrors occurring in Lebanon and Iraq and the worries Japan faces over the earthquake and tsunami warning and I was nearly overcome. SO much destruction. So much grief. So many lost and many more left feeling without hope.
I thought about the Gospel message for this week, about Jesus sitting with his disciples who were so concerned with the coming devastation of the temple that they couldn't see beyond it. They seemed only to consider the immediacy of the things that were to come in that day and age, unwilling to hear the rest of Christ's message that these things were but the beginning and they were ONLY birth pangs, not the sum total and end result. God's grace in and through the world and our continuing participation in that work brings about restoration after such horrors as the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD and the violent attacks around the world Friday. I'll admit that this passage from Mark 13 is uncomfortable for me to speak on because I do not care to dwell on destruction, death, or apocalyptic messages. I have had lupus for nearly 19 years and have worked really hard to keep my focus on the joy of life and move past my suffering. I prefer to speak of God's love and restorative grace, and focus on modeling Christ's greatest commands. Yet Jesus did address these things. They are included in our scriptures, so we must deal with them.
Whenever we are authentic and genuine in our prayers to God, whenever we are faithful and trusting, God hears and, in some way, responds to our prayer. And so now, as we think back to our passage from 1 Samuel, we see that Hannah innately knows this. She enters the temple, and in her confidence strides right past Eli the priest to bring her prayers directly to God. In those days, this was a bold act—do circumvent the priest and speak directly to God, especially for a woman, but it is her abiding faith that almost requires that she do that. The prayer Hannah utters is raw in its emotion and desperate in its cry to Heaven to answer the deepest longing of her soul. Not just to satisfy some cultural expectation that a woman should bear children, but also because Hannah confidently believes that her trust in the Lord will bear fruit. Even Eli, who first assumes she's drunk and making a spectacle of herself, eventually sees that she is genuinely pouring out her soul before God—at that moment, he seems confident that this woman's prayer will be heard.
And it is, isn't it? Hannah leaves the holy place and goes forward not to letting her depression overtake her. The scriptures say that when she returns to her husband, "her countenance," which had been so consumed with distress over the matter of children, "is sad no longer." In time, she conceives of Samuel, raises and weans him, and then takes him to be in the service of God. She doesn't know that when she fulfills her vow and gives up her most auspicious blessing that grace will return to her, but it does. This once barren woman has five more children and her firstborn goes on to usher the people out of the violent age of the judges and into the age of kings—one of which, we believe, is an ancestor of Jesus Christ, himself.
In Hannah's story, we witness that long-running thread that weaves its way through Scripture: that idea that God seeks out the extraordinary in the ordinary. It's curious, isn't it, that Hannah's faith was audacious enough to believe that the God of all creation might have any interest in the hopes and prayers of a lowly, barren woman. How moving that in all her brokenness, she takes her abiding faith, that loving, confident faith and walks it right up to God and says, "Here God, here is the deepest longing of my heart. And if you grant me this blessing through your grace, I will return it to you." And God answers that prayer, trusting in Hannah, too, that this outsider, this "little one" will be true to her word. It is not from political power or some form of earthly strength that the monarchy is ushered in. Instead, it is born of humility and the audacity of hope, faith, and connection with God. How wonderful it is to know that humility is not just part of an oft-quoted verse in Micah and something to be bragged about, but an actual means through which we might bear witness to the beautiful things God brings into our world. And how magnificent that we witness the fullness of God's love even and especially through the broken, the poor, and the most desperate souls among us.
Why do bad things happen? I'd like to have an answer for you. I'd like to tell you that some philosophical or theological explanation has somehow satisfactorily answered the question of suffering and pain for me. But the truth is that I haven't found one. I just don't know. But maybe the whys aren't as important as what we DO in the aftermath. And I don't mean going out and exacting some retributive justice—we are not called to do that. We are called to love and pray for our neighbors and for our enemies. What I mean is that when we see people suffering and in pain, perhaps more important than the WHYS are the WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOUs. And WHERE DO WE GO FROM HEREs. When we meet people in their lowest moments, the whys don't matter. But we make a difference in how we approach others and how we help them in their times of sorrow and grief. Not with answers, but with care. Not with platitudes, but with love. By meeting basic needs or by sitting with them in silence.
When I was growing up, I watched a lot of Mister Rogers Neighborhood. Now my kids watch Daniel Tiger, a cartoon spin-off of the beloved classic from my early youth. My favorite quote from Fred Rogers is this, "When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping." To this day, especially in times of "disaster," I remember my mother's words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world." And that is what we are called to do now.
When we are tempted to let the horrors of this world overwhelm us and deny us the joy of each and every day, we need to rebel. We grieve, but even in our grief, we know that our eyes cannot be trained on the devastation and the ones who destroy, but rather on the one who brings us such blessings. There will not be a time in this age where things will be without the possibility of falling apart, but we are called to continue moving forward, striving each day to do our faithful work, to pray our faithful prayers, and to love with the faithful certainty that God is with us, God is among us, God is within us all. So let us move forward into this uncertain week in the world, let us continue to boldly proclaim the love of Christ, let us praise God even in our grief, returning grace for grace. Let us be the helpers. Amen.

With crisp, Bauhaus-inspired styling, the third-generation Audi TT Roadster looks like nothing else on the road. It offers razor-sharp handling, excellent performance, and a gorgeous interior in a relatively practical package.
The TT is also offered as a coupe, and buyers after more power should look at the 292-horsepower TTS Roadster.
Some cars are defined by their engines, others by the way they attack curves - in the TT's case, styling is its raison d'etre. Using the progressive, modern ethos of Germany's Bauhaus art movement as a starting point, Audi's designers created a convertible that, like the original TT that was introduced in 1998, incorporates arches and flowing elements to create a unique, timeless form.
Relatively compact, the TT stretches 164 inches long, 53 inches tall and 72 inches wide. Compact dimensions help it deliver nimble handling on twisty roads.
Inside, the TT upholds Audi's reputation for finely crafted cabins with a simple yet elegant dashboard and high-quality materials throughout. There's plenty of room up front, but the rear seats are occasional use units best suited for the short of limb.
The TT comes with a Virtual Cockpit, which is Audi-speak for a 12.3-inch configurable screen that replaces the conventional analog instrument cluster. It also boasts Audi's MMI touch infotainment system, and a handwriting recognition function capable of interpreting handwritten inputs.
The soft top weighs 86 pounds thanks to a frame built using lightweight materials such as magnesium, aluminum and plastic. When down, the top sits on an aluminum tray mounted above the cargo compartment, meaning trunk space checks in at 9.9 cubic feet regardless of whether or not the sun is shining. It can be opened or closed in ten seconds, even at speeds of up to 31 mph.
The only engine available is a turbocharged 2.0-liter TFSI four-cylinder that makes 220 horsepower at 4,500 rpm and 258 lb-ft. of torque at 1,600 rpm. It's more powerful than the outgoing model, but it's still down on power compared to the TT sold in Europe.
Bolted to a six-speed dual-clutch transmission, the TFSI mill sends the 3,186-pound TT from zero to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds -- 0.3 seconds slower than the coupe -- and on to a top speed of 130 mph. Audi's quattro all-wheel drive system comes standard.
Fuel economy is rated at 23 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway, both respectable statistics for a sports car.
The Audi TT ships with automatic LED headlights, heated mirrors, an adaptive rear spoiler, automatic A/C, a multi-function steering wheel, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, leather and Alcantara upholstery, twelve-way adjustable heated front seats, Bluetooth connectivity, a Homelink transceiver, keyless entry and start, automatic wipers, a nine-speaker stereo and a digital instrument cluster.
The list of standalone options includes 18-inch wheels, full leather upholstery, an upgraded sound system, and a host of paint colors. Buyers can order one of several option packages. The Technology package adds Audi side assist, Audi connect, MMI navigation, parking sensors, a rear-view camera and heated door mirrors.
Every TT Roadster is outfitted with dual front, side, and knee airbags along with traction and stability control systems and electronic brake-pressure distribution.
Buyers in the market for an Audi TT Roadster can also look at the Ford Mustang GT Convertible, which provides far higher levels of power and handling but can't match the TT's interior sophistication, and the BMW 2 Series Convertible, which is a closer match but still a lot more athletic. High-end models also encroach on Porsche 718 Boxster territory.

Could Your Tattoo Give You Cancer?
Trending News: Why You Shouldn't Panic About Your Tattoo Giving You Cancer
A new study reveals that nanoparticles in tattoo ink might linger in your system for years, even after you die. That has led some to suggest that tattoos might give you cancer, but that's taking it way too far.
I have a tattoo. You (probably) have a tattoo. Three out of every 10 Americans have a tattoo. So it'd be a big f*cking deal if our ink was giving us cancer — but there's no way to make that conclusion despite some fear-mongering headlines you might've seen this week.
The panic derives from a new study published in the highly credible Scientific Reports. In the study, researchers revealed that tattoo ink may stay in your lymph nodes for years, even after you die. They know this because the lymph nodes in the tattooed dead bodies they looked at were actually tinted the color of the person's tattoo. So as it turns out, the red on that rose might be more than skin deep.
But is it a big deal if your ink gets into your lymph nodes? Well no, not necessarily. Your lymph nodes help clean the site where the tattoo entered and researchers already know getting a tattoo impacts your lymph nodes. The worrisome bit is that the researchers found toxic nanoparticles inside the lymph nodes and they don't really know how good it is to have those in our bodies long-term.
Here's how one of the study authors, Bernhard Hesse, explains it:
"We already knew that pigments from tattoos would travel to the lymph nodes because of visual evidence: the lymph nodes become tinted with the colour of the tattoo. It is the response of the body to clean the site of entrance of the tattoo. What we didn't know is that they do it in a nano form, which implies that they may not have the same behaviour as the particles at a micro level. And that is the problem: we don't know how nanoparticles react."
The researchers said the nanoparticles include titanium dioxide, the second-most common ingredient in tattoo inks. This is what set off (clickbait) alarm bells for sites like The Daily Mail which published scary headlines like "why tattoos could give you cancer."
Titanium dioxide, found in things like paints and sunscreen, has been linked with cancer, that's true. The European Chemicals Agency found in 2017 that inhaling large amounts of titanium dioxide might cause cancer and the World Health Organization and American Cancer Society both classify the chemical as "possibly carcinogenic to humans," two notches below "carcinogenic."
The problem is that the researchers don't know if the titanium dioxide from tattoos is causing us any harm at all. The study author said: "We don't know how nanoparticles react," remember?
In other words, there's no reason to sue your tattoo artist or give up on that new blacked-out arm tattoo, or whatever. That's because — just like so many other things that apparently cause cancer — we just don't know.
There is a way to be safer with our next tattoo, though. The other lead author, Hiram Castillo, says we need to check what's in our ink just like we check how safe our needles are.
"When someone wants to get a tattoo, they are often very careful in choosing a parlor where they use sterile needles that haven´t been used previously. No one checks the chemical composition of the colors, but our study shows that maybe they should."
Will this change anyone's opinion about getting a tattoo?
Besides cancer, tattoos may give you other health problems. A study in the British Journal of Dermatology found certain nanoparticles may cause toxic effects in the brain and give nerve damage, as reported by Newsweek.

Elizabeth Erickson (born 1942) is an American painter, feminist artist, poet, and educator. Her style of painting tends to gestural abstraction and the themes she explores occupy "the territories of ancient myth, religion, and spiritual feminism," according to art historian Joanna Inglot.

Early life and education
Erickson was born into a middle-class Catholic family in Austin, Minnesota; her mother was a nurse and homemaker and her father was an entrepreneur. In 1964, she earned her B.A. from the College of Saint Teresa in Winona, Minnesota, and in 1998 she earned her M.F.A. in painting from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Work and career
Erickson is a founding member of the Women's Art Registry of Minnesota, also known as WARM. Spurred on by the coastal initiatives of the Feminist Art Movement in the United States, WARM began in 1976 as a women's art collective aimed at establishing "a center for women's art that would lead to [its members'] recognition as professional artists."

In 1985, Erickson created a painting that is ambitious in both theme and scale called The Temple of Breath. The painting is constructed in a grid of twelve individual square paintings that together aim to reconcile the corporeal and cerebral acts of painting in a kind of visualization of meditation. Art historian Joanna Inglot explains: "By dividing each panel horizontally and vertically into grid-like sections, repeating black circular shapes in counterpoint with white diamonds and carefully measuring intervals between the forms, Erickson creates a sensation of expansion and contraction, 'in-and-out' movement throughout the entire composition. (...) [This painting] evolved out of years of quiet meditation at the Minnesota Zen Center." At the same time, Erickson's preoccupation with the grid format emerges from something deeper out of her childhood memory of a county road outside of Austin, where the viewer meets the landscape.

In the 1990s, Erickson embarked on a series of abstract paintings inspired by the life and art of the twelfth-century German Benedictine abbess Hildegard of Bingen, whose preoccupation with language, light, and female spirituality remain a source of inspiration for Erickson. In her painting titled 101 Names of God: Awakener of Eternal Spring from 1996, Erickson creates a bristling field of short, white marks against a cobalt background interrupted in the upper center by a thin, vertical rectangular shape stippled with red mark; the painting appears to breathe and glow from within.

The natural world is also a touchstone – both visual and spiritual – for Erickson's art. For example, the waterfall known as Minnehaha Falls in Minnehaha Park (Minneapolis) has figured in her work since the late 1990s in a series of paintings-on-paper that present variations on the same theme. A beloved natural landmark in the Twin Cities, the waterfall ebbs and flows with the seasons, and its fluctuating spirit is palpable in Erickson's depictions. In Minnehaha Falls; Subtle World (1997), a thick vertical shape representing the Falls' cascade dominates the composition, suggesting an abiding force that is also, as the title recommends and as apparent in the long steady brushstrokes that describe the falls, quite subtle.

In 2009, Erickson was recognized, along with fellow feminist artist and educator Patricia Olson, as a Changemaker by the Minnesota Women's Press for her role in founding in 1999 the Women's Art Institute, a summer studio intensive for women co-sponsored by the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and St. Catherine University.

INTERVIEW – BAMAO YENDÉ [MI4L.com]
FEATURES0 Comments 0
We have the pleasure of speaking with esteemed and diverse label Boukan Records boss Bamao Yendé. Known for it fusion of break beat and afro house, it is oen of the most interesting labels we have come across so here we go. An interview with the man himself, Bamao Yendé…
How are you, what good and what's bad right now?
It's great, everything is going well, the compilation just out we're in the World Cup final, I'm starting to tame my MC 808, so frankly, everything is going well.
Whats an average day in your life like? Do you just do music or do you have any other jobs?
I get up around noon, but I try to change it, I try to rediscover the morning but it's not easy.
nope, I'm lucky, I have no other jobs than to make sound for me or produce for friends, digging music or taking care of the label.
How did you come to this sound you have on the label? What was your route to it, what's inspired it?
I do not really come from suburbs of Paris, I grew up in a cosmopolitan world, I rubbed shoulders with a lot of different nationalities with different music, I dug a little more in the music that I liked the most, it went from kuduro music to a little more oriental. Moreover my parents come from sub-Saharan Africa, it's the music that passed at home I grew up with that. a bit bitter high school I looked at the music that came from Great Britain, I discovered grime and UK garage. I think that the label is a melting pot for a bit of everything, we mix a little bit of everything that inspired us all that fed us to try to make our own.
Is there a big community of producers making this sound, do you get sent it often, or are they all close friends in a crew you know?
Paris has more and more, we have a dozen friends to have more or less the same influences with different styles, we are often heard the pieces to appear or the pieces on which we work, including There are a lot of things that will happen, especially with Waldman, the boss of Lief Records, or Amor Satyr – Big Brothers.The return will be hot.
Tell us about the new compilation – why did you want to put it together? What was the plan for it?
We had no real plan, the compilation was ready for some time, we wanted to release a last // first compilation before returning to the back with the first releases vinyl, eps etc.I found that each track was consistent with each other despite gender differences
How did you decided who to put on the compilation? Did many have to miss out?
Most of the artists on the compilation are pals to me, or at least people with whom I have maintained E-contacts for a little while already, it's artists that I respect for their music, we understand each other rather well So it went smoothly, in the way you have a track we will release a compilation, and the answer was yeah serious I send it, it was very quiet, not very head in BKR .
Will you look to do albums and more releases with your artists or are you just about club 12"s?
Yes, we'll do more outings. specific soon, until we worked a lot in compilation, because I think for a young label is the best way to rotate the cam, to spread it more easily. but from the beginning, we will leave the club we will propose projects a little more rnb, we will still leave the club music but we will diversify About your own sounds – what are your goals, are you a man or something else? I started playing the piano when I was little for about ten years then I stopped, I'll get back to it more seriously. I have a live project with mcs on which I have to work, and I have some eps on fire.
What else have you got coming up or are you looking forward to?
Have to finish several small projects on which I work with Nyoko Bokbae, Fannie Doll, 47 Meow it will be super fun, I hate to present them to the public. There are the projects of my reufs Fatal Walima and Moku John who are hyper exciting, we have the latest stuff to settle and we will deal with this cam. it's going to be crazy, 100% Fun 100% faya 200% Love
How do you rate France's chances in the World Cup? Do you keep up with the football?
I think we'll win, I hope, I lived the first world cup 98 I was a kid I was 4 years old, I can feel the fervor, I want to live it fully, j think we have all our chances. hehe yes, PSG boy. I wish we won the World Cup, and the league champions with psg, it would be a perfect combo I think.

Planet Satellite: British super-plane or magnesium flop?
Image credit: http://blog.modernmechanix.com/mags
I was wrong. I wanted to write about the Planet Satellite because I thought it was merely an obscure, attractive failure. However, the more I researched the Satellite's story, the more bizarre it became.
The 1948 Planet Satellite was an unusual and very beautiful aeroplane. Its appearance suggested that Hergé had created it especially for Tintin to steal. The aircraft was the shape of a tear-drop, with a butterfly 'Y-shaped' tail. Its 'hygienically' clean shape spoke of speed, progress and a utopian future. The Satellite was a revolutionary design in almost every way. It was a true monocoque design, for those unfamiliar with the term- this does not mean it was single-penised (in fact, the aircraft had no penis). A monocoque structure is supported by its external skin, as opposed to using an internal frame. It is analogous to an invertebrate (such as a beetle), whereas an animal with a normal internal skeleton, like a person, is more like a traditional aircraft. Though many aircraft are described as monocoque, strictly speaking, the vast majority are actually semi-monocoque. The Satellite was a true monocoque design, meaning it was far simpler structurally than any contemporary aircraft. This simplicity could result in an aircraft that was cheap to produce and assemble, with far less to go wrong. These traits were vital as the Satellite was intended to become a flying Model-T Ford.
Following World War Two, Major J. N. D. Heenan (more on him later) went to the United States to study the needs of the general aviation market. He concluded that what was needed was a cheap and quiet aircraft. By adopting the 'pusher configuration', with the engine (he would choose a 250-hp Gipsy Queen 32) and propeller behind the cabin, the noise would be significantly reduced for the occupants. This layout would also give the pilot and passengers of the four-seater an excellent, unobstructed view from the cockpit. Additionally, it would allow the nose section to be smooth and aerodynamically efficient.
There was a potentially huge market for the aircraft, notably in the US and Australia. If Planet Aircraft Ltd got it right, tens of thousands of aircraft would be produced and exported across the world.
Revolutionary design
The Satellite was immensely ambitious, embracing several untried (though extremely promising) technologies. The first hurdle was to master the monocoque. As no bracing members were present, the skin had to be strong enough to keep the fuselage rigid. To get this level of rigidity without the design becoming massively overweight required the use of unusual materials. Major J. N. D. Heenan, the maverick designer of the Satellite, thought the answer was to make it from magnesium (Magnesium-Zirconium to be precise, as Hergé's Thomson and Thompson would say). The company Magnesium Elektron (ME) came onboard, funding the programme (the company still exists today and builds components for, among other things, the F-22's gearbox). ME had received enormous orders during World War II and had supplied 10,000 tons of the material in 1943. The post-war period was tough for ME and they were keen to diversify;Heenan was offering them a potentially vast and lucrative inroad into a new generation of all-magnesium aeroplanes. The author approached Magnesium Elektron for information relating to the Satellite, the company declined to reply, we shall see why. ME was a subsidiary of Hughes & Co Ltd, a chemical and plastics company. In 1946, Hughes were bought by Distillers Company Ltd, a Scottish whisky and gin giant, and so the Satellite was to be funded with booze money.
Most aircraft manufacturers used aluminium as their primary material, but some of the more maverick aircraft designers saw the potential of magnesium. These non-conformists also tended to put the propeller at the back in the 'pusher configuration'. In 1943 Northrop flew the XP-56 'Black Bullet', an aircraft that had seemingly flown in from a parallel universe. This bat-winged fighter was an extremely unconventional design and like the later Satellite, was a 'Magnesium pusher'. The XP-56 proved dangerous to fly, and delays in its testing meant it was still unready at a time when piston-engined fighters were yesterday's technology. Somebody at Northrop clearly thought the XP-56 was not mad enough and began work on the wonderfully lunatic XP-79, in which the unlucky pilot would have to lie down as he controlled a rocket-propelled flying wing while manoeuvring his aircraft to slice enemy aircraft in half with its leading edges. Despite the benefits of magnesium (it is exceptionally light and strong) it had a reputation for bursting into flames and, if impure, to corrode easily. On its maiden flight on September 12th 1945, the XP-79 spun out of control after seven minutes of flight. Test pilot Harry Crosby bailed out, but was struck by the aircraft and was killed. Shortly afterwards the project was binned.

A couple of months later, on 7 Nov 1945, Group Captain H. J. Wilson of the RAF was flying at over 600 mph in his Meteor F.Mk 4. This flight smashed the world air speed record and made a hero of Wilson. Though some Germans had flown faster in World War II, Wilson's record was the first officially acknowledged speed record since 1939. Prior to the speed record Hugh 'Willie' Wilson had already led a very impressive career. He had been a leading test pilot. He had fought with the RAF's crack No. 111 Squadron. His skills had been used to test fly captured German aircraft and he had almost been killed as he tried to land a Ju 88 that suffered engine failure on take-off. The speed record was merely the most conspicuous achievement for a man who did much to further the progress of aeronautical science. He then left this world of glory to become test pilot for the fledgling Planet Aircraft company and soon become managing director.
The Satellite was built in the Robinson Redwing factory at Croydon, Purley Way, Surrey in 1947. Its name, like its appearance, was bold and futuristic. It was not like any other aircraft. The July 15th 1948 issue of Flight found the design 'startling' and identified the reason for the designer's unconventional approach,
"Major J. N. D. Heenan, of Heenan, Winn and Steel, consulting engineers, 29, Clarges Street, London, W.1, is the man responsible for the Satellite. It is the first aircraft which he has designed, but, as he himself says, had he ever designed an orthodox aircraft, preconceived ideas would have so trammelled his outlook that the concept of such a design as the Satellite would have been virtually impossible; an argument with which we are inclined to agree." and further:
" Beyond stating that the Satellite is so clean aerodynamically
that it almost justifies the term hygienic"
There was a certain genius to choosing a 'virgin' aircraft designer, free from conventional wisdom, but is this long-held view of Heenan correct? John Nelson Dundas Heenan is something of a mysterious character that history has largely forgotten. He appeared at, at least, one World One pilots reunion in the 1930s, though it is not believed he had flown in the Great War.

A trawl of patent records reveals he filed seventeen, most relating to heaters and boilers; one, somewhat bizarrely, relates to an improved golf club bag. The solitary patent relating to aircraft is from 1949 and describes a radical fuselage framework structure requiring far fewer parts than conventional designs. He was also actively interested in metallurgy from the 1930s.
The idea of Heenan being an aviation outsider is a myth; in fact Heenan was a vital part of the secret project which led to America's first jet aircraft. Heenan was involved in the British Air Commission in World War II and communicated a vast amount of Frank Whittle's reports on jet propulsion to USAAF Col D. J. Keirn. Keirn was the AAF Materiel Command project officer, in charge of bringing Britain's advanced jet technology to the US. With this information, America was able to build and fly its first jet, the P-59A in 1942.
Whisky business
The Satellite, which was yet to fly, was displayed at the 1948 Farnborough. Among the thousands of visitors attracted to the aircraft was a young Bill Gunston who wished he had enough money to buy one for himself. The prototype was taken to Redhill, an aerodrome used by Imperial airways in the 1930s in 1948. It received the registration G-ALOI in April 1949. The aircraft was ready for its first flight, at the able hands of Willie Wilson. He described this event to the Distiller's Gazette, "After the first Hop which resulted in the undercarriage collapsing, the Air Registration Board called for an investigation into the stressing. After numerous delays, the machine was prepared for a second hop to about 20 ft, then executed what I thought to be quite a reasonable landing. When, on inspection, it was found that the main keel had broken, that really brought the wrath of the ARB upon us, insisting that the aircraft had to be completely re-stressed…my own view was that we should, in the old phrase, 'jack up the windscreen and run a new aeroplane underneath', and I recommended to Distillers that they pack up the venture and sack H. J. Wilson. To give them their due they appreciated my endeavours and did very kindly offer me a job in one of their divisions; but I considered that the profession of flogging whisky was probably more dangerous than test flying!"

So what had gone wrong? In designing the Satellite, Heenan had sent a wing section to the National Physical Laboratory for testing, as some believed magnesium had insufficient torsional strength. The results were very encouraging. The section withstood ten million deflection cycles at 10 per cent of the maximum bending load on the wing. When deflection was increased to 40 per cent a further two million cycles were experienced before failure occurred. Tragically the same tests had not been carried out on keel member and undercarriage points.

An unlikely venture
Two Satellite prototypes were built, but the project was cancelled shortly afterwards. However, the story of this gin-funded, magnesium weirdo was not over. Major Heenan's rich imagination bore an even more outlandish plan: in 1951 the Heenan, Winn and Steel company began converting the Satellite prototype G-ALXP into an experimental helicopter! Heenan had purchased the rights to a helicopter concept first developed by the American designer Fred Landgraf, creator of the Landgraf H-2. Unlike any other helicopter before or since the H-2 used a tension-rod drive system to drive side-by-side rotors. Pitch of the freely rotating blade shells was controlled by ailerons close to the tips of the rotors.
In 1952, Firth Helicopters started construction of what was now known as the Firth FH-01/4, but it proved to be a nightmare. Numerous problems dogged the project, which seemed impossible to solve given the small size of the company's resources. The helicopter was cancelled before it had reached a flight-worthy stage. What did exist of the Firth FH-01/4 was presented to the College of Aeronautics at Cranfield in 1955. The story of the Satellite was now over, but its configuration would return.
The Lear Fan was a product of love. When the aircraft's creator Bill Lear died in 1978, his devoted wife Moya did all she could to see the project succeed. Bill Lear was a great innovator, his inventions included the 8-track tape and the Lear Jet. He also had a whimsical sense of humour, naming one of his daughters 'Shanda' (Shanda Lear!).
Moya was a former dancer, turned philanthropist and her father was the vaudeville genius John 'Ole' Olsen, creator of the broadway smash 'Hellzapoppin'. As an aside, Moya and Bill's son John Lear is one of the world's most accomplished pilots and an ardent believer in the earthly presence of extraterrestrials.
Moya knew her late husband's design was a winner, and aggressively pursued investors.
In configuration, the gorgeous LearFan was reminiscent of the Satellite. It was a pusher, and had the same Y-shaped tail. Like the Satellite it was innovative in its choice of construction and materials, and was one of the first aircraft to use large amounts of composite plastics.
The LearFan is officially recorded as making its first flight on the 32nd December 1980. The bizarre 'date' was an attempt to grant the project funding despite it technically being a day too late to be eligible. Like the Satellite, the LearFan was a case of too much too soon. It used two engines to power one propeller, making it as aerodynamically clean as a single-engined aircraft, but as reliable as a twin. The Federal Aviation Administration (the US organisation which ensures aircraft are safe), did not like this design as it put a lot of strain on the gearbox and would not give it their stamp of approval. The Lear Fan was abandoned in 1985, and Moya died in 2001.
The celebrated aviation writer Bill Sweetman noted (in an article for Air & Space) that:
"The LearFan ran out of cash before the problems were solved, but it left a historic echo. With its slender wings, pusher propeller, and Y-tail, the LearFan resembles today's Reaper drone—and Linden Blue, co-owner of the Reaper's maker, General Atomics, was the last CEO of LearFan. I'm not sure it's a coincidence."
So was this the end of the 'Y- pusher'?
In 2001 a new age of aerial warfare began. The US invaded Afghanistan, and the drone became the symbol of war in the 'Information Age'. Just four weeks into 2001, a sinister aircraft had taken its maiden flight, the General Atomics MQ-9 Reaper. The Reaper was the first of a new breed of remotely piloted combat air vehicles. That the Reaper chose a similar design solution to the Satellite, with a Y-shaped tail and pusher engine, is a vindication of Major Heenan and his visionary little aeroplane. The coming of the Reaper was going to be the end of this story.
Until, I uncovered something very strange.
Shute and ask questions later
Neville Shute Norway was an aeronautical engineer and author of fiction when he joined the Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve in World War II. Earlier, he had worked on the famous R.100 airship with Barnes Wallis, inventor of the bouncing bomb. In 1931 he set up the Airspeed Ltd aircraft company, along with A. H. Tiltman, a friend from the R.100 project. Thanks to his immensely creative thinking Norway ended up in what would become the Directorate of Miscellaneous Weapons Development. The madcap DMWD were encouraged to think outside the box in developing ways to counter Nazi Germany. Their hare-brained, yet often successful, schemes included coating the sea in coal dust so, from the air, it appeared to be land. Norway himself was involved in the development of the 'The Great Panjandrum' of 1943. This was an enormous set of rocket-propelled wheels, full of a ton of explosives designed to blow a tank-size hole through the German coastal defences. The Great Panjandrum, named for a character in nonsense poem, proved a surprising performer. It was described by Brian Johnson, for the BBC documentary Secret War,
"At first all went well. Panjandrum rolled into the sea and began to head for the shore, the Brass Hats watching through binoculars from the top of a pebble ridge…Then a clamp gave: first one, then two more rockets broke free: Panjandrum began to lurch ominously. It hit a line of small craters in the sand and began to turn to starboard, careering towards Klemantaski, who, viewing events through a telescopic lens, misjudged the distance and continued filming. Hearing the approaching roar he looked up from his viewfinder to see Panjandrum, shedding live rockets in all directions, heading straight for him. As he ran for his life, he glimpsed the assembled admirals and generals diving for cover behind the pebble ridge into barbed-wire entanglements. Panjandrum was now heading back to the sea but crashed on to the sand where it disintegrated in violent explosions, rockets tearing across the beach at great speed.". The unlikeliness of this device has led some to conclude that this project's primary objective was to distract German Intelligence from Britain's real invasion-planning efforts.
For Norway's connection with the Satellite we need to delve further back, to his 1940 plan for a parasitical torpedo bomber. Buried away in a folder in Nuffield College Library, Oxford is a folder containing text, with accompanying diagrams and drawings. The documents describe a proposal for the construction in the USA of 'a large Amphibian Flying Boat, capable of carrying four "Satellite" planes, each capable of carrying its own 18″ torpedo or one 1500 lb. "Diving Bomb"'. The typescript was originally contained in a plastic folder labelled 'Burney Amphibian and Satellites'. The concept is from the mind of Neville Shute. What is striking is not just the name of the parasitical torpedo bombers, but the configuration- they are 'pushers', with an overall similar configuration to Heenan's aircraft.
Could Heenan's work in advanced projects at the British Air Commission have given him access to this project? It is certainly possible. If this is the case, then could it be Heenan's naming of the aircraft was a wry reference to Shute's secret torpedo bomber? The link is at best speculative, but there is another link between Heenan and Shute. Don Middleton, who until he passed away, was the leading authority on the Planet Satellite, was also an ex-Airspeed employee.
We will leave the last word on the Satellite to Wilson from the previously quoted interview in the DCL Gazette:
"The machine was probably the way ahead of its time, it was built in the wrong material, definitely understressed but otherwise possibly delightful…In case the Distillers should take the above as criticism, may I state that currently I am testing their Gordon's gin and Black Label whisky, both of which I find handle extremely well and fully meet their advertised performance."
The author would like to add that his favourite gin is Hendrick's.

S/Sgt. Renard G. Kampstra
723rd Squadron
Renard Kampstra was born in Chicago, IL on November 29, 1922. He attended Tilden Technical High School and Chicago Christian High School where he graduated in June 1940.
He enlisted in the Army Air Corp in November 1942. He attended Basic Training and B-24 Mechanics school at Keesler Field, Mississippi. He then attended B-24 Specialist school in Willow Run, Michigan followed by Gunnery School in Laredo, TX. He was sent to Davis Montham Air Base in Tucson, Arizona for crew assignment then on to Almagordo Air Base in New Mexico where he became attached to the 450th Bomb Group. He applied and was accepted into cadet training. Cadet training was held in Charleston, South Carolina. After being assigned to a class, the entire class was dissolved, as bomber crew were needed for combat immediately. He was then re-assigned to a crew as a replacement. He served as the Flight Engineer/Top Turret Gunner. The crew was sent to Hempsted, New York to pick up a new B-24 and ferry it to Italy via the southern route.
In late May or early June 1944, his crew arrived in Manduria, Italy and served with the 15th AF, 450th Bomb Group, 723rd Squadron. After three combat training missions, he was assigned to his first combat mission with his own crew on June 16, 1944. On this mission, his plane, 42-78104, was attacked by ME 109's and shot down after leaving the target: the Apollo Oil Refinery in Bratislava, Czechoslovakia. Kampstra and seven other crewmembers bailed out over Kapuvar, Hungary. After a three-week internment in the Budapest jail, he was sent via railroad boxcar to Stalag Luft IV in Grosstychow, Pomerania. He was assigned to barracks #7 in Lager A.
While at Stalag Luft IV, he fought boredom by walking many laps around the perimeter of Lager A and chatting over the wires to guys in Lager B. Eventually, sporting equipment was supplied by the YMCA, which relieved some of the doldrums of POW life. At some point, the POWs acquired a record player. Unfortunately, they had only one LP, the music from "Oklahoma".
With the Russian advance from the east, he was marched out of Stalag Luft IV. Thanks to his daily walks around the camp, the walking was not the major challenge of the march. The hunger, the cold and the lice were the biggest problems. He credits his survival on the march with the camaraderie between the POWs, especially his own combine buddies. They shared what little food they could scrounge up and slept close at night to keep from freezing.
After a brief stay at Stalag 11 B in Fallingbostel, Kampstra and 3 of his buddies; Harry Chabin, Ted Boersma and Joe Venti saw the opportunity to escape. They made their way to a farm near Celle, Germany where they encountered the British 1st Army. They were led to the U.S. 9th Air Force whose men welcomed them with chocolates and other much needed food from their rations.
He was sent back to the states via Camp Lucky Strike and arrived in Chicago in early May. He was discharged from the Army/Air Corp on November 18, 1945. He married Lucy Fischer on May 24, 1946. They have 4 children, Marjorie, Jim, George and Cindy, and six grandchildren, Alison, Jimmy, Carly, Nicholas, Lindsey, and George Renard.

Puma reveals its second collaboration with singer Dua Lipa
Three months after the revelation of the first part of the collaboration entitled "Flutur" between singer Dua Lipa and the German brand Puma, the two are returning to the forefront with the second part, "Flutur Drop 2".
Dua Lipa and Pume reveal their second drop - Puma
Presented exclusively in London last Saturday, at the heart of a dinner and underground dance party at Modern European restaurant Bistrotheque, in East London, the collection, which will be on sale this Tuesday, is an ode to rave.
A colorful collection, which includes more than 30 items such qs the T7 flared tracksuit imagined by the singer in collaboration with Billy Walsh, long-time collaborator of Puma, designer and self-composer. The color palette ranges from black to pink to purple.
Other pieces complete the silhouette, including bra-and-shorts or bra-and-mini-skirt sets in black, orange and purple, crop tops and plain and striped tennis dresses. Flutur Drop 2 also features a new version of the Cell Dom King sneaker and three variations of the Mayze model including the Mayze, the Mayze boot and the Mayze Mettalic.
"Flutur Drop 2", the new capsule collection between Dua Lipa and Puma - DR
To further personalize this collection, the singer has chosen to affix a butterfly logo on all pieces proposed on zippers or embroidered logo on some pieces. A choice inspired by rare vintage flyers and that according to the singer "symbolizes the transition and the new beginning", a recurring theme in the work of the artist who admits being "in a period of creative transition.
"The butterfly shows all its meaning. It's becoming more and more important in my life. I feel like everything has evolved that way," explained Dua Lipa about her choice of logo. For the launch, artist Dua Lipa sports a brand new pink-tinted hairstyle matching the color palette of the collection.
In addition to her collaboration with Puma, the artist had previously collaborated with the brand Pepe Jeans, and was chosen as an ambassador of the brand in 2019. The same year, she became the new face of Yves Saint Laurent beauty. And, prior to that, she had been named co-creator of the brand Nyden, in 2018, launched by the H&M group.

Ruling By Other Than What Allaah Has Revealed
Imam Ibn Baz on the One Who Uses the Fatwa of Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim to Assert Generalised Takfir
Source: Saihatu Nadhir of Shaikh Ali Hasan (pp. 98-99) (trans. Abu Iyaad as-Salafi)
Article ID : MNJ050005 [31143]
And in the Kuwaiti magazine, "al-Furqan", no 28 (p. 16) is the transcript of gathering that took place with the Noble Shaikh `Abdul-`Aziz Bin Baz – rahimahullaah – and he is the student of Shaikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim and the spreader of his knowledge. In this gathering he was asked the following question:
"There is a fatwa of Shaikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim Aal Shaikh – rahimahullaah – which the People of Takfir use to demonstrate that the Shaikh did not differentiate between the one who ruled by other than the Sharee'ah of Allah - `Azza wa Jalla – while he declares this act of his to be permissible (mustihillan), and the one who is not like this (i.e. does not declare his act to be permissible) – (while this) differentiation is well known amongst the Ulamaa."
Shaikh Ibn Baz replied:
"This matter is firmly established with the Ulamaa – as I have mentioned previously – that the one who declares that to be permissible (man istahalla dhalik) then he has disbelieved. As for the one who does not declare that to be permissible, such as the one who judges subject to bribery and similar things, then this is only the minor kufr (kufr doona kufr). And when an Islamic State is established and which has power and capability, then it should struggle against the one who does not judge by what Allaah has revealed until it forces him to do so."
The questioner said, "But they use the fatwa of Shaikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim as evidence?!"
Shaikh Bin Baz replied:
"Muhammad bin Ibrahim is not infallible (ma'soom), he is but a scholar from amongst the scholars, he is sometimes correct and sometimes in error and he is not a Prophet nor a Messenger. Likewise, Shaikh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah, Ibn al-Qayyim, Ibn Kathir and other scholars. All of them are sometimes correct and they sometimes err. But only what conforms to the truth is taken from their statements and as for what opposes the truth, then it is rejected from the one who said it."

All kids become jealous at some point or another. Some even get really angry when that jealous emotion strikes. Jayden Jealousauraus is a children's picture book that helps parents teach their children the appropriate ways to deal with jealousy.
The book is about a dinosaur that becomes jealous of his friends. The more jealous he gets, the yellower his eyes become. As the jealous dinosaur discusses his feelings with his parents, his parents inform him that he isn't alone in his feelings and that everyone can become jealous, but there are ways to handle that jealousy.
Also within the book are discussion points and questions to get kids to open up and talk about jealousy.
My toddler enjoys the book because, simply, there are dinosaurs with big teeth. That and the dinos are participating in some pretty silly scenarios. Kids around the ages of 4 or 5 will not only be entertained by the pictures, but will understand the book's message that even though everyone gets jealous, there are appropriate ways to voice it.
