Between 1960 and 1970 Penguin Books underwent several revolutions in cover layout, at a time when public tastes were rapidly changing. For today's #TuesdayThoughts I look back at 10 years that shook the Penguin.

This is the story of the art of the #book cover...
Allen Lane founded Penguin Books in 1935, aiming to bring high-quality paperbacks to the masses for the same price as a packet of cigarettes. Lane began by snapping up publishing rights for inexpensive mid-market novels and packaging them expertly for #booklovers.
From the start Penguins were consciously designed; Lane wanted to distinguish his paperbacks from pulp novels. Edward Young created the first cover grid, using three horizontal bands and the new-ish Gill Sans typeface for the text.

In the shadowy corners of the shortwave spectrum lurk the Numbers Stations: strange radio broadcasts of mysterious blocks of numbers in creepy monotone voices!

It's actually an old form of spycraft which is still in use today. Let's take a listen... #MondayMotivation
A Numbers Station is a type of one-way voice link for sending information to spies in foreign countries.

Operating on Short Wave radio bands they transmit a secret code of spoken numbers. Use of Numbers Stations peaked during the Cold War, but some are still operating today.
Numbers Stations are operated by various national intelligence agencies. At set times on a pre-arranged frequency a musical tone is played, followed by a speech synthesised voice reading out blocks of numbers. To most listeners it sounds both creepy and meaningless.

Trans erasing lesbians! OMG!!! Stop the LGBT movement at once: I want to get off. Oh, the horror...

In the background, David Attenborough dons his waders once more, to intervene in the greatest mass extinction the world has ever seen.
“Here we see, in 2017, a colony of happy lesbians, marked by their black leather plumage and distinctive side-cut....

“Celebrating their successful hunt...for a bar that will sell tequila slammers at 3 in the afternoon.
“And today, we see the same Lesbian colony, all but wiped out by the careless distribution of trans drinking straws.”

Today is Jayanti of Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose, one of the greatest scientists of modern India. However this thread is not about his life per se, I would be focusing more on his work on radio communication, a field where he was a pioneer in many ways.
While JC Bose is more known for his work on plants,his work on radio science is not that much known. Matter of fact while Marconi often gets the credit for Radio, it was Bose who laid the foundation, came up with the original concept and implementation too.
This thread is more a look at Bose's work in radio science. And it would be a bit technical too in places, so please do bear with me here. Of course considering the fact that my Engg Major was in Communication Engg, have a soft corner for this, though in IT now.
