Kicking off my #HotAlphabet with A is for Artes Radium Cream.
Launched in 1932, it claimed to hold “The Secret of Facial Rejuvenation” — and, yes, that secret was radium.

Still waiting for UK press to go with this but 'huge if true'. Strategic bombers and AWACS/ISTAR assets taken out on the ground. Point / AA defence seemingly ineffective.
Nice.
Nice.
Russian aviation related channel confirms: Four Russian long-range aviation airbases have been attacked in the past two hours.

Just been mugged successfully, for the first time, by a St Ives gull. After many visits you'd think I'd learn. So farewell cheese and mango chutney sarnie.
When I caught up with the culprit he showed me a picture of his missus and complained he had 'five kids to feed'!

Just in case there wasn't enough to worry about.... although Pluto going haywire may be the next Disney hit!
Pluto could go haywire, Mercury could fly into the sun or Earth's orbit - and climate - could be catastrophically altered by a passing star.
Risk of a star destroying the solar system is higher than expected
Stars that pass close to the solar system could pull planets out of alignment, sending them hurtling into the sun or out into space

Thought I'd drop back in to see how it's going here. Hols in Cornwall again, enjoying the endless game of dodge the pasty thieving seagull!

First advert for a radio transmitter / receiver system.
1905, cost $8.50
Love the component names like coherer and decoherer, also the send and catch wires.

Can't say I had too much time for this sort of thing in the 80s and 90s but I've loved everything I've heard off of Joey Valence and Brae's 'Punk Tactics'!

This week work takes me down to Cornwall to visit a radar and deliver some training. Gives me opportunity for a quick visit to South Terras mine, the UK's only #uranium mine and source of much of the #radium used by Marie Curie. Got this measurement last time I was there.

Just made the mistake of trying to watch Tenet while half asleep. Insanely complex...going to have to watch it again!

Interesting report on cancer risks relatively low dose ionising radiation.
Good update to cohort studies based on Hiroshima and Nagasaki which showed a broadly proportional increase of risk with dose at higher doses.
