Here's a piece of #radio #history:
In the late 1980s, Ecki Stieg's weekly radio show #Grenzwellen on Northern Germany's #radioFFN was the first program to introduce me to #electronicmusic.
A few recordings survived on YouTube, e.g. this 1996 special dedicated entirely to Tangerine Dream's Klaus Schulze:

Roman perfume identified as patchouli – The History Blog
http://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/67424
"Residue of perfume found in Roman mausoleum under a private back yard in the town of Carmona, southwestern Spain, has been identified as Pogostemon cablin, aka patchouli. This is the first time a perfume from the Roman era has been conclusively identified."
With bare feet and a tin-pot hat,

From sea to sea I planted seeds…

Dr. Margaret Chung was born in CA in 1889. As a med student, she wore masculine clothing & referred to herself as “Mike.” She became the first Chinese American female physician & applied to be a medical missionary, but was rejected due to her race.
In the 1920’s, Chung founded one of the first Western medical clinics in San Francisco’s Chinatown. She advocated for Chinese Americans & pushed for the inclusion of women in the US military. https://www.nps.gov/people/dr-margaret-mom-chung.htm #HistoryRemix #history #medicine
#OnThisDay in #history - in 1654, Queen Christina of #Sweden abdicated her throne in favor of her cousin, Charles X Gustav. Christina had ruled since she was 18, but had been queen since her father's death when she was 7. As a child, she was inspired by Elizabeth I.
One of Europe's most learned women, Christina was a renowned scholar, patron of the arts, and amateur artist herself.
She converted to Catholicism, which was a reason for her abdication.

Elijah McCoy passed away on October 10, 1929, in Detroit, Michigan. He left behind a legacy of innovation and numerous patents. Despite facing challenges and financial constraints, Elijah’s contributions to engineering and invention have been recognized and continue to inspire others to this day.
3/4
A prolific inventor, Elijah held nearly 60 patents, mostly for lubrication systems. His genius extended to diverse areas, including an ironing board, a lawn sprinkler, and other machines. Despite recognition, his name rarely adorned his creations, as he sold patent rights due to limited funds for large-scale production.
2/4
Elijah J. McCoy, the son of former slaves, overcame formidable obstacles and racial discrimination to become one of the most prolific inventors of his time. In 1872, he invented the automatic lubricating cup for steam engines. McCoy’s invention revolutionized locomotive maintenance and gained widespread acclaim to the extent that McCoy’s invention became renowned as “The Real McCoy,” symbolizing authenticity and reliability

Plans unveiled for #Holocaust Museum on Tremont Street

“MGen Thomas stands today as an example of the thousands of white Southerners who supported the Union during the Civil War and a rare example of a slave owner who changed his views on race and slavery. His military career demonstrated skill and bravery, but his true heroism was a moral one.”
Two Southerners serving in the U.S. Army in 1861 made different choices when the Civil War began.
Robert E. Lee has been looked on as a source of pride by White Southerners.
But perhaps, according to historian Christopher Einolf, a better source of pride today would be Maj. Gen. George H. Thomas – another Virginian, who honored his oath to defend the Constitution.
Heritage enthusiasts who've been working more than two decades to bring a relic of Ottawa's transportation past to life say the project is now in peril because OC Transpo wants to reclaim space at its garage.

Anyway walking around Belgrade today, I have established a theory that there are two basic types of cities in the former communist bloc of Central and Eastern Europe.
Type 1 are the cities with pretty 'chocolate box' central districts that don't seem to have changed much in centuries: eg Kraków, Prague, Lviv.
Type 2 are the cities where you can tell that a Lot of History has happened up to quite recent times: eg Warsaw, Belgrade, Kyiv. Doesn't necessarily mean they're unattractive, but they are complex to engage with.
Bit of a generalisation, but it's something to work with. What do you think?
Belgrade really has the most eclectic mix of architecture. On this one square for example, on one side you have my beautiful 1908 hotel… And on the other you have what can only be called a concrete monstrosity.
That's the thing about concrete buildings, isn't it? They don't age at all well. The second place probably looked okay when it was brand-new, but let the concrete age and add air-conditioning units to the outside, and it's a mess.
Look here upon this picture and on this, as Shakespeare wrote...
