Avro 618 Ten, cockpit, 1933, slnsw by State Library of New South Wales Via Flickr: Avro 618 Ten, cockpit, 1933 Pioneer aviators like Charles Ulm and Charles Kingsford Smith spent many hours in the cockpits of the Avro 618 Tens, but they were hardly luxurious. The Faith in Australia cockpit seen here is stripped back to the bare essentials, with uncomfortable-looking seats. A large compass in a pivoting gimbal device can be seen between the seats.

Naps and Lannes quarreling over Spain

one of my favourite anecdotes of them is the argument that occurred when Lannes , who had favoured peace, was not happy with Napoleon's desire to invade Spain.. things got quite heated (surprise)

« Crebleu ! if you had touched me ! » shouted the maréchal, pale with anger, looking at him in the whites of his eyes and putting his hand to the guard of his sword. »

and then

The emperor, so jealous of his authority and his prestige, would have made any other pay dearly for such a forgetfulness; but, at this very abruptness, he recognized the old friend from Arcole and Ulm, and the smile coming to his lips, the great man opened his arms to his lieutenant who rushed there. The emperor then explained to him his great plans; he demonstrated to him that he was ambitious only for the France he wanted, with a view to a lasting peace, make it unassailable after him. Lannes, despite everything, insisted on retire from the service; but, showing him his tenderness, Napoleon attached to him, on the contrary, more close to his person, and it is together that the two heroes, more intimately linked than ever, crossed the Pyrénées (Mountains).

so Lannes literally wanted to draw his sword against Naps but when he opens his arms lannes literally just rushed there to hug him? can i hug him too

And there’s this line in the next page:

Napoléon and Lannes traveled together so fast, that their crews could not follow them. (...)

~~~ that's it , they went into seclusion and lived happily ever after :') just kidding source: Le maréchal Lannes, Du de Montebello Prince souverain de Sievers, en Pologne -résumé de sa vie par son petit-fils Charles Lannes

Today in Christian History

Today is Tuesday, April 22nd. It is the 112th day of the year (113th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar; 253 days remain until the end of the year.

1538: John Calvin and William Farel are fired by the town council of Geneva and ordered to leave the city within three days. They had refused to administer the Lord’s Supper the day before in part because of notorious sins among the city’s folk, and in part because they did not want to follow the lead of Bern in serving unleavened bread.

1663: King Charles II charters the Royal Society of London by that name, “for improving Natural Knowledge.” Most of its initial members are Christians and it will become a leading force for scientific inquiry.

1918: Patriarch Tikhon raises Justin Lvovich Olshevksy to the rank of Archbishop of Omsk. He takes the name Sylvester. He opposes the Soviets and blesses the White Army that resists Soviet control. Eventually the Soviets will defeat the Whites and arrest and torture Archbishop Sylvester for two months before killing him.

1922: Baptist leader Olisemeke Samuel Wadei “Martin” opens the first of several schools. In his long and useful life, he will also establish a teacher training college and health centers for his Nigerian people.

1934: Five thousand pastors and laypeople gather in Ulm where they create the “Confessing Church,” relying on the Reformation confessions in interpreting Scripture, rather than Nazi racial theories and propaganda.

1960: At a constitutional convention in Minneapolis, three major Lutheran bodies in the U.S. merge to form the American Lutheran Church, with a combined membership of about two million.

1987: Death in North Carolina of J. Edwin Orr, revival historian. His research had showed him that all revivals had sprung from prayer meetings, and he preached and spoke throughout the world to share this vision.

Read this article: Gal Gadot (@gal_gadot), Mila Kunis (@MILAKUNISV), and Natalie Portman (@natalieportman): Here’s the English translation of the article about the Schlumberger family:

The Schlumberger Family, Alsatian Industrialists

Among the prominent names of Alsatian entrepreneurs, the name Schlumberger frequently comes up. This family distinguished itself in various industries, including textiles (weaving, spinning, and fabric printing) and oil exploration. Bertrand Rietsch - December 9, 2018, 05:00 | Updated December 9, 2018, 22:28 - Reading time: 5 min

The Schlumberger family is not only known for the industrial activities traditionally associated with them. They also made a mark in viticulture at the beginning of the 20th century, an activity that remains relevant today.

Before settling in Haut-Rhin, in Mulhouse and Guebwiller, the earliest records of the Schlumberger family trace back to Germany, specifically the Ulm region, in the early 16th century. Following the family’s conversion to the Reformation around 1540, they were present in Mulhouse from 1547 onwards. It is worth noting that Mulhouse adopted the Reformation in 1523, first Zwinglian and then Calvinist. Additionally, Mulhouse was only integrated into France after the Revolution, which explains the strong ties between Mulhouse and Basel—economic, religious (Calvinism), and, by extension, marital.

Georges Jacques and Pierre du Löwenfels in Business

The first members of the family to truly engage in business were two brothers, Georges Jacques (1733 – 1811) and Pierre (1750 – 1830), known as "du Löwenfels." Most bearers of the surname are descendants of these two lineages, and we see allied families, both male and female, with names like Dollfus, Mieg, Koechlin, Hofer, Bourcart, and, a bit later, Seydoux. The Mulhouse bourgeoisie is intertwined in a nearly inextricable web of familial relationships. Initially, for several generations, most Schlumbergers were involved in managing businesses related to textiles. However, it was the brothers Conrad (1878 – 1936) and Marcel (1884-1953), four generations after their ancestor Pierre, who ventured into oil exploration using electrical resistances. These modest beginnings did not foreshadow that, a few decades later, two companies would be created—Schlumberger Limited and the Compagnie générale de géophysique—both of which are current global leaders in their field. A remarkable exhibition dedicated to the family's history in geophysical research is on display at the Château de Crèvecœur-en-Auge, showcasing period equipment and various explanatory documents.

Wine Production and Quality

Another aspect that particularly interests gourmet enthusiasts and connoisseurs of fine wines is the family's involvement in viticulture and the production of quality wines. This activity is primarily attributed to Ernest (1851-1926), the uncle of brothers Conrad and Marcel, and especially to his son Ernest Charles (1885-1954). The latter elevated the family vineyard to the ranks of the greatest names in Alsace through a policy of acquiring prestigious plots and producing high-end wines, including eight grand crus.

We cannot cover all the facets of this family, which has many branches, some of which are involved in the judiciary, art, history, literature, archaeology, and botany. However, one constant remains: through their roles as industrial captains, the Schlumbergers have held numerous political positions. Countless mayors, general councilors, and deputies have represented the family throughout Alsace, from north to south. Additionally, various family members are involved in numerous associations, cult institutions, and cultural organizations, including the famous SIM (Société Industrielle de Mulhouse). Almost everything significant in the political or entrepreneurial life of Alsace during the 19th and 20th centuries is, in some way, linked to the Schlumberger family.

Guillaume Schlumberger and the Mechanical Chess Player

However, not all members of the Schlumberger family enjoyed such a prestigious career. In the most beautiful works of art and grand tales, there is often a small imperfection or slight uniqueness, nearly invisible to the naked eye but undeniably present. Such is the case with Guillaume Schlumberger, born in 1799 in Mulhouse and deceased in 1838 in Havana. A chess teacher and a good player of this noble game, he quickly distanced himself from his family’s industrial and commercial pursuits and began a life of wandering that ended in ruin at the gambling tables. Hoping to restore his financial health, he became associated with a man named Jean Nepomuck Maelzel, who brought him to New York in 1826. Maelzel was a metronome maker, inventor of a mechanical organ, and even collaborated with the great Beethoven.

Let’s go back a bit: in 1769, Johan Wolfgang von Kempelen created a chess-playing automaton. After the creator’s death in 1804, the object changed hands until it eventually ended up with Maelzel. This is where Guillaume Schlumberger enters the picture! The automaton represents a Turkish chess player wearing a beautiful turban, seated before a type of chest on which a chessboard is placed. Opening the various doors of the chest confirms that only the automaton’s instruments are inside. In reality, in a hidden compartment, Guillaume Schlumberger is concealed. Despite his height of 1.80 meters, he folds himself to remain invisible to the audience. Once the doors are closed, Guillaume unfolds himself in the lower part of the automaton, his eyes level with the chessboard, and the chess games can begin.

In 1835, Edgar Allan Poe, passing through Richmond, attended several performances of the "Mechanical Turk" and uncovered the trickery behind it. It was time to leave the States, and the two accomplices set off for Havana, where unfortunately, Guillaume Schlumberger quickly succumbed to yellow fever in February 1838. His mentor and companion, Maelzel, survived him by only a few months; in July of the same year, he was found dead on the ship that was to return him to Philadelphia. "In the family, everything is known, but nothing is said."

The End.
