The page-turning biography of an Australian woman who refused to bend to the expectations of her husband and her time.
Julia Sorell was an original. A colonial belle from Tasmania, vivacious and warm-hearted, Julia's marriage to Tom Arnold in 1850 propelled her into one of the most renowned families in England and into a circle that included Lewis Carroll and George Eliot. Her eldest daughter became a bestselling novelist, while her grandchildren included the writer Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World, and the evolutionary biologist Julian Huxley.
With these family connections, Julia is a presence in many documented and famous lives, but she is a mostly silent presence. When extracted from her background of colonial life, extracted from the covers of marriage and family life, her story reveals an extraordinary woman, a paradox who defied convention as much as she embraced it.
What began as a marriage born of desire soon turned into a relationship riven by discord. Tom's sudden decision to become a Catholic and Julia's refusal to convert with him plunged their lives into a crisis wherein their great love for each other would be pitted against their profoundly different understandings of marriage and religion. It was a conflict that would play out over three decades in a time when science challenged religion, when industrialisation challenged agrarian forms, when democracy challenged aristocracy, when women began to challenge men. It was a conflict that would shape not only their own lives and that of their children, but also touch the lives of all those who came into contact with them.
Told with the pace, depth, and psychological richness of a great novel, An Unconventional Wife is a riveting biography that shines a shaft of light on a hidden but captivating life.

There is officially a month left before the end of the course. I cannot believe how quickly the time passed this year. I really hope to do at least one more pair of shoes for my mother before the end of the course. Last week I finished my brother's shoes and also bought laces for them. I am very happy with how they turned out.
I decided to keep the sole of the shoe a natural color. I wanted to keep it as informal as possible and the natural sole gives it that effect.
After the paint has dried, the bottom of the shoe is skived smooth with the very fine skiving paper, and then polished with a special product to protect the leather on the bottom of the shoe.
For my dad's boots I finished the upper completely including the lining. I also finished preparing the insole for the Tyrolese stitching and will hopefully start mounting the boots on Monday.
On Thursday morning Jo, Joe and I went for a run. We are all training for the half marathon if we manage to make it!
My very first Gelato this year. Can't believe it took me this long. The weather is finally warm enough to justify having a gelato every single day.

Phil Day, Comedian (1844-1887)
Written by Elisabeth Kumm
Phil Day, comedian. Photo by Murrell & Co, Sydney, in Album of photographs of actors, actresses, singers, music hall artists and others, c. 1874-c. 1900, State Library of New South Wales, PXD 357 / FL1125174Irish-born English actor Phil Day was born in Cork in 1844, the only son of the Rev. Samuel Phillips Day (1818-1885) and his wife Julia Maria Day. Named after his father, he was the second eldest in a family of five children. By the time of the 1861 census, the Day family had relocated to London and were living in Kentish Town.
Day's father, the eponymous Samuel Phillips Day, was a man of many talents, a former Benedictine monk, Unitarian preacher, journalist and author, who travelled widely, spending time in America, Canada and Europe. At the time of his death in 1885 he had published eleven books on topics ranging from politics and religion to juvenile crime and the history of tea. During the period of the American Civil War he acted as special correspondent for the London Morning Herald, subsequently writing a book, Life and Society in America.
No doubt due to the peripatetic activities of his father – and as the only other male in a household of women, young Phil Day deciding to try his luck on the stage, despite the disapproval of his parents. A natural mimic, with the 'rubber-face' of a comedian, he soon found his niche.
One of his earliest engagements was in 1864 with Charles Calvert's first company at the Prince's Theatre in Manchester, where another young hopeful, Henry Irving was also engaged. Through his friendship with Irving, he was responsible for the unmasking of the notorious Davenport Brothers, two bogus spiritualists. When their agent, Dr Fergusson, offered £100 to any person 'who could perform their feats', Irving, Day and Frederick Maccabe decided to try their luck. With Irving dressed as Fergusson, and Day and Maccabe as the two brothers, the trio hired the Library Hall of the Manchester Athenaeum, and before a capacity audience, reproduced exactly all the Davenport 'miracles' thereby exposing their trickery.
Phil Day as himself, State Library of New South Wales, PXA 2100 / Box 9By 1868, Day was in London, where he established himself a "light eccentric comedian", performing at the Royalty, Follies Dramatique and Folly theatres. Over the following fifteen years, as well as playing some of most popular characters in the repertoire, he also created many original roles, including Ned Thornton in A Loving Cup (1868); Jonas Chuzzlewit in Pecksniff (1876); Dr Ox in Oxygen (1877); Signor Sproutzo Cabbagi in Balloonacy (1879); Captain Basil Bagot in Bow Bells (1880); Almaschar in Don Juan Junior (1880); and Viscount de Ternan in Diane (1882).
Unfortunately Day was plagued by poor health and in 1883, he accepted an offer from Williamson, Garner and Musgrove to visit Australia, hoping that the warmer climate would prove beneficial. Accompanied by his wife, Emily, whom he had married in 1872, and a young child, they sailed for Melbourne.
Day made his Australian debut at the Theatre Royal in Melbourne on 27 October 1883, playing the role of Daniel Jaikes in the first Australian production of The Silver King. This play also signalled the return of G.S. Titheradge, who played the title role, and Arthur Garner, who played Captain Skinner, the villain of the piece.
On Day's first appearance, the critic on the Argus (29 October 1883) wrote:
Next to the two principals, the chief success of the evening was achieved by Mr Philip Day, a new member of the company, who plays the part of Daniel Jaikes, a delightful old man … His humour runs into pathos, and his pathos brightens into humour, and both are blended at time so ultimately that you find yourself "checking the career of laughter with a sigh". Mr Day's identification of himself with the part was complete and unvarying. He belongs to a good school of acting, and may be said to have leaped into the favour of the audience almost at a bound.
As predicted, Day quickly established himself as an audience favourite and went on to play further characters with equal success. These included the Doge of Venice in Estrella (1884) – a role he had performed in London – Mr Mumpleford in Confusion (1884), Bosco Blithers in Mixed (1885) and the title character in Uncle Dick (1886).
Undoubtedly Day's most successful creation was Bosco Blithers in Mixed, which he introduced to Melbourne audiences for first time at the Bijou Theatre on 5 September 1885. Founded on a French farce called Les Trois Chapeaux [The Three Hats] by Alfred Hennequin, the play was first performed in Brussels in 1870 and in Paris in 1871.
Phil Day: "I've Called about a Hat", lithograph by Richard Wendel, Troedel & Co., Melbourne, 1885, State Library of Victoria, H2000.180/53One of the catch-lines in the play is "I've called about a hat", spoken by the character of Bosco Blithers, a professor of penmanship, calling at the home of the George Selwyn seeking his lost hat, which Selwyn had picked up in place of his own, but then lost again when he picked up another hat.
As Blithers, Day "convulsed audiences with his ludicrous make-up and clever acting, which included giving the impression of having an unmanageable artificial leg" – which in one scene he attempts to raise over the back of a high sofa only to end up floundering on the floor in the most outrageously grotesque manner.
As the reviewer in the Argus (7 September 1885) goes on to say:
Mr Philip Day, as Bosco Blithers, was the cause of most of the unbounded hilarity which prevailed during the performance. His appearance, his expressions, his gestures, and his antics were throughout extravagantly and irresistibly droll, and evoked from time to time outbursts of unusually hearty laughter. His "make-up" was so clever and complete a disguise in its way as to be worthy of comparison with Mr Frederick Marshall's Quilp [The Old Curiosity Shop], and he maintained the awkwardness of gait and the various broad eccentricities of the character consistently from first to last. Even if he had no share in the dialogue Mr Day's appearance and manners would have kept up a simmer of amusement, and he is to be credited with a pronounced success in the character, which, however, is merely of a wildly farcical type.
The origins of the play and the circumstances around its production in Australia are worth recounting.
Included in the cast of the first Melbourne production was a certain Walter Stokes Craven who was said to be the author of the piece. It seems Craven did indeed write it, but a subsequent court case held in February 1887 (when Craven tried to prevent Day and others from producing the piece) revealed that Craven had merely "cribbed" the play, having been a member of J.H. Nunn's company in India, when the piece was performed with G.P. Carey in central role. On this occasion, the play was announced as the highly successful farce Three Hats by Owen Dove and Alfred Maltby.
When a report of the Craven copyright case was published in the London Era, it elicited a letter from Walter Blount of the Junior Garrick Club (30 April 1887). In his letter, Blount says it was he who sold the play to Nunn for performance in India. And in a twist, not unworthy of the play itself, Blount claims the play he sold to Nunn had been written by Arthur Shirley not by Dove & Maltby. (Indeed, a copy of Shirley's play was published by Fitzgerald Publishing in New York in 1889 and can be downloaded from the internet).* As Blount points out, Shirley has the character of Bosco Blithers in his text, whereas in both the French original and the Dove & Maltby version, this character is given another name.
So why did Nunn alter the authorship of the play? Was it to capitalise on the London success of Dove & Maltby's play? As far as I can tell, the Shirley version was not performed in London until the 1890s.
Phil Day as Bosco Blithers. Photo by Stewart & Co, Melbourne, in Photograph Album of Australian Actors and Actresses, c. 1870 - c. 1900 [Gordon Ireland Scrapbook], State Library of Victoria, M 6135When W.S. Craven arrived in Australia from India in 1885 he brought a copy of the Shirley play with him, producing it for the first time at the Theatre Royal in Adelaide on 10 June 1885 as Three Hats, announced as a work by Owen Dove and Alfred Maltby – "as played with immense success at the Royalty and Avenue Theatres, London, for over 200 Nights". This was several months before Craven's cribbed version was staged in Sydney and Melbourne. And in another twist, Phil Day was in the cast of the Adelaide production, playing Bosco Blithers for the first time!
Interestingly, when G.P. Carey came to produce the play in Hobart in November 1885, with himself as Bosco Blithers, he called the play The Three Hats; or Mixed – and also cited the play's London and Melbourne success in his adverts. By the time Carey reached Sydney, in March 1886, the play's title had changed again – to Three Hats Slightly Mixed. In both cases, the author's name was conspicuously absent.
One final word on Craven's version of Mixed, for anyone who wants to explore it further. In the Ward Family Papers at the State Library of New South Wales, there is an entry that reads: 1891; 'Mixed', MS., being an adaptation by Walter S. Craven (Call No.: MLMSS 6927/13/2).
Phil Day played the role of Bosco Blithers for the last time at the Melbourne Opera House in September 1887, just two months before his early death on 3 December 1887, aged only 42. He died at the Alfred Hospital from combined complaints of lung and heart disease. He was buried in the "actor's corner" at Melbourne Cemetery. Among the many mourners who followed his coffin from the Oriental Hotel in Collins Street to the cemetery were G.S. Titheradge, Arthur Garner, Dion Boucicault and George Darrell, who occupied the mourning coach. Day left behind him his wife and young family, a second son Arthur Melbourne Phillip Day having been born in Melbourne in 1884. A subscription list was organised by Arthur Garner, George Darrell and others that raised some £300 to assist his family and aid their return to England.

NBC's newscast averaged 10.1 million viewers last week, roughly 600,000 more than the week before. But on a busy news week with many viewers shut in by the cold, ABC's World News Tonight gained about the same number of viewers and the CBS Evening News shot up by 900,000. The Oscars on ABC dominated primetime last week. Although viewership was down sharply from last year, this year's Oscars ceremony improved its showing from Nielsen's original estimate on Monday. Nielsen said Tuesday there were 37.3 million viewers, a full million more than it had estimated from a smaller sample the day earlier.

Issue(s): Elektra #1, Elektra #2, Elektra #3, Elektra #4, Elektra #5
Cover Date: Nov 96 - Mar 97
Title: "Afraid of the dark" / "Fathers day" / "I know how you feel" / "A little piece of paradise" / "Fourteen days"

Mike Deodato Jr. - Penciler
Deodato Studios / Mike Deodato Jr. - Inker
Bobbie Chase - Editor
This series is written by Peter Milligan, who had been writing for 2000 AD and smaller companies since the mid-80s. He was (and is) known for written edgier or irreverent stuff like Enigma and Tank Girl (for which wasn't the original writer). His best known Marvel work will be X-Force/X-Statix. Compared to all of that, his Elektra run is pretty tame. Which isn't to say it wasn't controversial!
My partner Min started picking up this comic along with John Byrne's Wonder Woman around this time, probably one of the pitfalls of coming with me to the comic book stores once a week. She hated Byrne's Wonder Woman ("all the characters look like old men") but liked this. She didn't know much about Elektra's history but liked the strong female character, the art (allowing for the typical 1990s problematic depictions of women), and the story. I think most fans had a different reaction which is why Larry Hama unceremoniously wipes out the books supporting cast and status quo when he takes over with issue #14 (and Min will never hear a good word about Hama thanks to that).
The status quo is admittedly a weird one. Elektra becomes a dancer, and develops a supporting cast around the dance theater and a martial arts school that she sponsors. But even more than the specifics, the real issue is giving Elektra a personality and a cast of characters that she can care about at all. In all of her depictions to date, she's been cold and aloof, a mystery and and object of other people's desires and/or fears.
Heck, in her first solo miniseries, she arguably isn't even the protagonist (it's John Garret, who narrates about Elektra as if she's a force of nature). An intention of her second miniseries might have been to humanize her a bit by giving her a long-lost brother and a former lover, but both of those relationships are depicted as being part of a past that she seemingly has become distant from. The same could be said of her old relationship with Matt Murdock; there's a sadness to the loss of that love but her feelings had to become suppressed so that she could become a heartless killing machine.
So i think giving Elektra *any* kind of personality was going to result in detractors and claims that it's a deviation from the established character, but that's arguably because we've never really seen a story from her perspective. And if she's going to be the star of the series, she couldn't just keep being a mysterious figure we never learn anything about. I grant you that we didn't need a solo Elektra series but i applaud the attempt to keep publishing a book with a female lead (especially after Silver Sable's cancellation last year). I also grant you that Elektra's personal life didn't have to involve her become a modern art dancer, but that actually happens more naturally and seems less goofy than it first sounds.
We start by seeing that Elektra has a policy of taking down local criminals and sparing their lives if they promise to go to a dojo run by friends of hers, King Lau and Mackinley Stewart.
One of the criminals - called Rat or Ratty - decides to stay with the dojo.
The initial fight happens to be in a dance theater, and the theater owner, Konnie Weiss, is impressed with her fighting style and thinks it could be used in dancing.
Elektra initially rejects the idea, but when the dojo needs money, she returns.
Her idea is to develop shows based on the Greek legends of her forefathers (there are a lot of references to the original myth of Electra as well as other such things like the Furies in these issues). And, since it's modern dance, she tells Wolverine (who pops up a few times in this series to reciprocate after she'd been appearing in his), she won't have to practice.
Later, her dojo is attacked by Bullseye, and the teachers and Ratty are all badly injured. Elektra ends up fighting him, but it's an intimidating situation. He's already killed her once, after all, and on top of that, the mysterious organization that hired him also taught him all about her history and how to anticipate her attacks.
We see flashbacks for both Bullseye and Elektra during the fight. It's said that Bullseye has a form of colorblindness that causes red to appear as a muddy green.
Elektra finally beats Bullseye by breaking out of her usual fighting style and using moves that he won't predict. Her flashback showed her giving her father a necklace for Father's Day, and in the end Bullseye turns out to be wearing that necklace. She resists the urge to kill him.
A sixteen year old girl and her father were bystanders during the fight, and the father is killed. The daughter, Nina McCabe, blames Elektra.
Elektra goes to Bullseye's apartment and finds one of the people that hired Bullseye. She chases him and learns that the person behind the organization is called the Architect, also known as the Shining One and other such mystical things. The person she's captured then explodes.
Later, Nina is picked up by some Ukranian pimps. Elektra uses her connections with former Kingpin goons, who help her because she once worked for the Kingpin. They point her towards the Ukranians but tell her "the big man will be back soon, and you'll owe him". She rescues Nina.
Afterwards, since Nina's father is dead and she doesn't want to live with her grandparents, Elektra reluctantly lets her move in with her.
Later, Elektra witnesses a fight between Killer Shrike and a new super-mercenary named Shatterhead.
Turns out the Architect has been hiring super-mercs to fight each other. The others are new one-offs.
The "corpse-meat" guy is the Architect himself, who has possessed someone in New York after killing some tourists in India.
Elektra goes to a policeman named Michael Morrisey to find out what's going on, but he doesn't know anything. On Wolverine's advice, Elektra goes to Dr. Strange to get more information on the Architect. It's a fun interaction.
The theory is that he is Hassan, the original assassin (and they guy who gave us the name "hashish" for marijuana).
Strange says he'll look into it more. But in the meantime, Elektra is confronted by the Architect directly. Sounds like we've got some cool upcoming appearances.
The Architect also has the ability to bring Elektra's father back from the dead. He says it's no illusion (but come on!) and Elektra seems actually tempted. The Architect says that he can make Elektra's father available regularly and he'll also cancel the mercenary war if Elektra kills him. But it's not that easy; killing the body he's currently possessing doesn't count. She's given fourteen days to think about it.
Meanwhile, the super-mercs begin to gather.
I've talked before about the genericizing of the Taskmaster. He's a guy that should be training goons for other super-villains, not participating in stuff like this.
Dr. Strange also visits again.
While she's thinking things over, we see bits from her personal life. Nina is dealing with her father's death...
...Mackinley professes romantic interest in Elektra...
...and we learn that Konnie has a club foot.
In the end, Elektra rejects the Architect's offer.
It's a well written story with lots of humor and good character development. Plenty of downtime to explore the new cast while also building up to some fun super-villain fights. And as you can see, the dance stuff barely figures into it all. It comes down to whether Elektra is allowed to develop a personality and have interpersonal relationships, or just remain an unobtainable sex object.
Quality Rating: B
Historical Significance Rating: 2 - new characters: Elektra's supporting cast and villains (almost none of whom make it out of this series)
Chronological Placement Considerations: The MCP has Wolverine here between Wolverine #106-107. Dr. Strange is his usual self. Days and even weeks pass during issues of this story but each ends on a kind of unrelated cliffhanger (something i always find annoying, but it's an annoyance specific to my project).
There are multiple references to Elektra's original appearances in Frank Miller's run from Daredevil #168-181 and Daredevil #190.
Elektra had been working with Wolverine from Wolverine #100 through Wolverine #106.
Characters Appearing: Architect (Shining One), Boomerang, Bullet, Bullseye, Bushwacker, Dr. Strange, Elektra, Fatale, Killer Shrike, King Lau, Konnie Weiss, Mackinley Stewart, Michael Morrisey, Michael Scarlotti, Nina McCabe, Razorfist III, Shatterhead, Stick, Taskmaster, Trudi Scarlottie, Whiplash (Blacklash), Wolverine


Is that... Is that cloud shadows?
Oh. I just added a bump map for earth clouds. It is nice from space, but ugly when you enters the atmosphere.
Can you spot something eerie on this image?
So is that planet illuminated by that tiny black hole in addition to the star?
No. In reality, black holes don't illuminate anything because they're black. In SE, they don't illuminate anything because they're not light sources.
Aa. I thought in SE a black hole was defined like a star. So this planet must be getting its light from another star.
I thought in SE a black hole was defined like a star.
It is. But it emits no light.
Just put BumpMap "Earth/Clouds" on the earth's "clouds" tag.
Thanks, I think it looks nice.

8BitDo's latest controller has fully customizable buttons

Sean Buckley, @seaniccus
Sure, we love it when phones and spec lists leak out into the wild, but there's nothing like an official announcement to set the record straight. When we last saw the Huawei Honor, it claimed to have a single-core 1.4GHz processor, a 4-inch FWVGA (854x480) capacitive screen, and a radio primed for European and Asian bands. The official word? It's got all of that, but it's also packing an 8 megapixel rear facing camera (2MP up front), 512MB of RAM (with 4GB ROM memory, and expandable up to 32GB) and a hefty 1900mAh battery. The Gingerbread powered handset is a hair thicker than we expected as well, measuring in at 10.9mm at its thinnest point. What else is new? Oh, just a handful of new frequencies, including GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 /1900 and the WCDMA/HSPA+ 900 / AWS / 2100 bands (compatible with T-Mobile's US 3G). No word on price just yet, but the DLNA-certified powerhouse should be hitting Asia-Pacific, China, Russia, and the Middle East in "Classic Black" the fourth quarter, with more colors (and hopefully, regions) dropping sometime during the Christmas season. Want the full PR and official spec list? Skip on past the break.
Huawei's latest smartphone Honor packs a punch with its 16M true color HD display and three-day battery life, the longest in its class
Shenzhen, 26 September 2011: Huawei today officially unveiled the Huawei Honor, its latest Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread smartphone that features a 16M 16:9 true color high-definition (HD) 4-inch FWVGA capacitive touch screen. Powered by a 1,900 MAh battery, Honor frees consumers from the inconvenience of searching for an electricity source, allowing them to share and connect for up to three days1 on a single charge – the longest battery life among smartphones in the 4-inch screen range. With a 1.4 GHz processor, an 8-megapixel HDR2-enabled camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera, Honor is a powerhouse in a sleek 10.9 mm-thin body and weighs just 140g.
"Huawei Honor encapsulates the Huawei brand – it features simple-to-use, advanced technology that allows people to share and connect easily. Honor provides a package of features that elevates the smartphone user experience, including an ultra-long battery life, so critical to the performance of smartphones but yet is often downplayed," said Victor Xu, chief marketing officer of Huawei Device. "Consumers now have a high-performing smartphone that lets them communicate, connect, entertain and share content for an extended period of time without compromising on looks, technology or style."
Honor comes with an exclusive Huawei user interface which is easier to customize and manage, as well as a dynamic weather widget. Honor also features a Gyroscope which enables a better gaming experience. The smartphone is DLNA-certified which ensures interoperability with other DLNA-certified devices such as digital cameras, game consoles and TVs. This makes it easier for consumers to share their digital photos, music and videos between different DLNA-certified devices. The DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) is a non-profit organization with more than 250 member companies in the mobile, consumer electronics, PC, and service provider industries. According to ABI Research data, as of 2010, more than 440 million DLNA-certified devices have been installed in homes.
Honor will be commercially available in "Classic Black" in Asia-Pacific, China, Russia and the Middle East in Q4, 2011. Honor will be released in more colors closer to the Christmas holidays.

Artist Robin Bell protested Judge Brett Kavanaugh's potential confirmation to the US Supreme Court by projecting messages on the nominee's DC courthouse. Photo by Andre Chung, courtesy of Bell Visuals.
Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee has been accused of a sexual assault by Christine Blasey Ford, allegations he has denied. Today, another woman, Julie Swetnick, came forward claiming that Kavanaugh had been present while she was gang raped in 1982.
On Tuesday night, Bell pulled up in front of the E. Barrett Prettyman courthouse in a specially modified light projection van to beam his message onto the facade of Kavanaugh's workplace, an effort to highlight the allegations against the nominee. The guerrilla intervention was a collaboration with the women's advocacy group UltraViolet.
At the same time, Bell added that the online reaction from opponents has been "among the most vicious" he has encountered, demonstrating the division facing America today.
The video journalist and multimedia artist has frequently used light projections as a form of protest and civil disobedience. He previously took aim at president Donald Trump's alleged ties to Russia with a projection onto the Trump Hotel in Soho, New York (the hotel has since severed its ties to Trump).
In another work, Bell spotlighted the issue of the President's alleged violations of the emoluments clause of the US Constitution by projecting the words "Pay Trump Bribes Here" onto the facade of the Trump Hotel in Washington, DC.


The goal of landing a man on the Moon and returning him safely to Earth required the development of three things: spacecraft, launch vehicles, and protective clothing. Spacesuits: Within the Collections of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum takes the reader through the development of the last category, the spacesuits used during this venture. Highlighting the pressure suits created during the years leading up to the lunar missions and beyond, this book features dramatic photographs of the Smithsonian's collection, as well as never-before-published historical images of spacesuit development and testingge-of-motion studies, for example, in which researchers wore spacesuits while playing baseball and football. The book also includes a group of advanced spacesuits, which, though never used on a mission, are in many respects the most exciting suits ever created. One suit glove has steel fingernails and sharkskin pads, in an attempt to harness the abilities of the human hand.
The authors will provide both the reader with an appreciation of spacesuits and US suit efforts, through development challenges to their role in space exploration. The text will explain how the routine use of clothing provides a link to the function of spacesuits and why spacesuits are far more than garments. They are a last refuge for survival in disaster or a personalized spacecraft that allows direct contact and interaction with everything beyond our world. Successfully meeting the challenges to creating safe, reliable and comfortable spacesuits is an ongoing effort that has spanned over four decades. The book will detail the technical evolution of U.S. spacesuits from their roots in high altitude aviation and vacuum tube development to the present day, with an additional look into the future. This primary source of spacesuit information will explain the function, historical development, and use of spacesuits from a worldwide perspective in a readable way. The story includes many technically and historically interesting efforts that never reached flight, and were either misunderstood or not widely reported.

5 Things Hollywood Thinks Computers Can Do
Has your mom ever called in a panic, saying the computer was displaying a weird error message and that she hurried and unplugged it just to be safe--and then dunked it in the bathtub so it wouldn't burn the house down?
It makes you realize that, to some people, a computer is still a terrifying box of mysteries. Well, we think Hollywood writers have those people in mind when they portray laptop computers doing everything short of blowing up the moon.
After all, according to the movies...
5 You Can Blow Up Shit At Will With Hacking
Worst Offender: Live Free or Die Hard
The movie' villain, Thomas Gabriel, and his band of hackers are so good at hacking that they've gained the powers of an all-seeing and all-knowing God:
"OK, I want you to hack into that traffic light and make it red. Good. Now, I want you to hack into Kevin Smith' basement and physically move his webcam around the room. Now, hack into the brain of that fighter pilot and get him to shoot missiles into the middle of a busy freeway."
Hacking is to this movie what magic is in the Harry Potter stories: plot-hole spackle. All the gaping cracks in logic between scene A to scene C can be neatly smoothed over with the mystical power of hack. The improbability reaches critical mass, though, when the bad guys hack into the natural-gas lines near a power plant and make them spontaneously explode under the streets.
Why It's Ridiculous:
Look, we acknowledge that Bruce Willis movies take place in a universe where every object is teetering on the brink of spontaneous detonation (see Armageddon, wherein the bolt on a valve handle breaks, causing an entire space station to erupt in an enormous fireball). Still, if natural-gas safety precautions were so poor that entire city blocks could explode via broadband modem, we're certain the guys at 4chan would have done it by now.
Gabriel would make his insane demands to his hackers who, in turn, would snort derisively and call him a n00b. An hour later, 30 unwanted pizzas would turn up, mysteriously ordered under his name from Pizza Hut' online order form, while the hackers giggle and high-five each time the doorbell rings.

Worst Offender: Swordfish
The presumed abilities of computers are fairly well detailed in the actual tagline of this movie: "Log on. Hack in. Go anywhere. Steal everything." And, that' no exaggeration. If you watch the movie, you'll realize that's exactly what the filmmakers believe. John Travolta' villain in Swordfish is Gabriel Shear (wait, wasn't the Die Hard bad guy named Gabriel, too?) and his scheme was to steal $9.5 billion from the U.S. government. With hacking.
Above: Hacking
The entire premise of the plot is that in the vast, computerized world of modern finance, $9.5 billion could slip through the cracks so that a clever hacker could, with hacking, transfer it to his own account unnoticed. This sounds plausible to some, because almost all the money exists only in computers (not even 10% percent of our money exists as printed currency) and it seems like that would make it easier to steal.
We assure you, wherever there is $9.5 billion, there are several people who will fucking notice if it's gone. In a world full of brilliant, real-life hackers, the reason the money doesn't continually vanish from your checking account is because there are equally brilliant people working on the other side.
In Real Life�
Shear's entire plan was to steal the money so he could use it to run an underground anti-terror organization. We're pretty sure all that takes is writing a letter to your congressman and saying, "I would like $9.5 billion to run an underground anti-terror organization." The check should arrive within four to six weeks.

3 Your Personal and Social Life Can Be Permanently Dismantled By People Who Know Stuff About Computers
Worst Offender: The Net
Hackers are after Sandra Bullock. Using the Internet, they change her identity from successful, established Angela Bennett to Ruth Marx, a prostitute, drug addict and convict. Bullock spends the rest of the film running away from the hackers and the police because the Internet, evidently, infiltrated Bennett' family, her doctors, her neighbors and anyone she' ever gone to school with.
The Net came out in 1995, when lots of people still had never actually seen the Internet (this may include the screenwriter). Since Americans have never met a threat we couldn't grossly exaggerate, we immediately decided the 'net was in control of every single event that transpired on Earth and could fuck it all up with the slightest provocation (for reference, see the Y2K scare).
The hackers would first go right for her MySpace, filling it with tons of gay porn. Then, upon figuring out that her online banking password was "PASSWORD" they would "steal her identity" in the sense that they would use her credit card to buy tons of anime porn DVDs. The final act of this drama would be Bullock cancelling the card by filling out several forms while sighing in annoyance.
Also, we notice that Sandra Bullock's character is portrayed as a hopeless loner. In the real world, a computer geek who was female and looked like Bullock ...
... would have approximately 375 male "friends" orbiting around her on a daily basis, staring hungrily each time she turned her back and always trying to surreptitiously smell her hair.

Worst Offender: WarGames
A teenage hacker (Matthew Broderick), using an early-80s computer that looks like it may have parts made of wood, accidentally hacks into NORAD' supercomputer (code named "WOPR") and finds out it is sentient and intends to launch a global nuclear war as a way to amuse itself.
That thing that qualified as a "supercomputer" in 1984? Your Xbox 360 is 500 times faster. Look it up. And, it' pretty hard to imagine your Xbox giving birth to sentience when what it calls "A.I." involves the enemies in a World War II shooter running confusedly into brick walls, face first.
The microwave-sized IMSAI 8080 computer the hero used to take over the nation' nuclear missile fleet had 64KB of memory.
That means if it tried to open this article as a Word document, it'd get about half way through before it ran out.

Worst Offender: Independence Day
The Earth is under attack by a race of vastly advanced aliens, so Jeff Goldblum creates a virus from his PowerBook that disables the entire apparently Macintosh-compatible fleet of ships.
This is difficult to wrap our minds around. The aliens in Independence Day were not only thousands of years ahead of us technologically, but also were an entirely different species. Therefore, Goldblum's feat was the equivalent of colony of baboons in the Congo hacking into CitiBank using tree bark and clumps of their own feces.
Yes, we know it's just a big, fun sci-fi rollercoaster ride. Yes, we're willing to turn our brains off-they're in that state through most of our workweek anyway. But meet us half way, Hollywood. Write it so that, say, the guys at Area 51 had taken one of the alien's computers off the Roswell ship and reverse-engineered it over the decades. Or, something. Work with us, here.
But of course, there is exactly one reason why the aliens were defeated by a PowerBook in Independence Day: because Apple paid for it as part of the product placement. Yes, my friends, the entire plot culminated in an advertisement, and one you paid to see.
That new Mac operating system that's coming out? Goldblum' PowerBook 5300 had about one-tenth the memory needed to run it. So, forget uplinking to an alien freaking starship; if he simply tried to run a piece of software from the same damned manufacturer from just 10 years in the future, the result would look something like this:

Q: Fixed custom fields depending on posttype/category I am just switching from MODx-CMS to Wordpress for some projects. In MODx you have resources, a resource can be be page, an article or for example a youtubevideo. You can sort those resources into folders and afterwards you can loop over those folders and display the resources or you can display a resource by id.
So for example I would like to show several youtubevideos at a section of my website and for each video I would like to define a videoid and a custom thumbnailimage.  In MODx that's pretty straight forward, as I can declare custom fields (templatevariables) which belong to a certain template or resourcetype. So if I create a new resource with resourcetype youtubevideo I get the default fields like title, subtitle and also the custom fields (templatevariables) defined for that posttype.
As I am pretty new to wordpress I am asking myself if there's any way to do this in wordpress as well... I've read about custom fields but for me it seemed like the postauthor has to declare the keys himself while creating a post, which can be pretty buggy if he has a typo in the key.
So basically what I'd like to have are custom fields that are automatically shown if I create a new site in a specific category (for example if the category is "videos" I'd like to have a custom field for the id and a custom video thumbnail). Any suggestions or better solutions?
Thanks in advance!

A: WordPress by default has custom fields aka "post meta" but apart from the UI you've already mentioned ("the postauthor has to declare the keys himself while creating a post") there is no UI functionality offered from core. You'll need a plugin for this.
Here is a nice comparison of custom fields plugins (Source: https://comparewp.org/)
