The Flying Ship or The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship is a Russian fairy tale. Andrew Lang included it in The Yellow Fairy Book and Arthur Ransome in Old Peter's Russian Tales.
Uri Shulevitz illustrated a version of Ransome's tale, The Fool of the World and the Flying Ship, for which he won the Caldecott Medal in 1969. Also, a made-for-TV stop motion-animated film with the same name was released in the United Kingdom in 1990. It aired as part of WGBH's children's series, Long Ago and Far Away. Rabbit Ears Productions has also made an audiotape version, featuring Robin Williams, which was released on Showtime in 1991. It aired as part of Rabbit Ears's We All Have Tales series. In addition, Terry Gilliam's 1988 film The Adventures of Baron Munchausen contains several elements inspired by this story, particularly the opening sequence set at the court of the Grand Turk.
A couple had three sons, and the youngest was a fool. One day, the Tsar declared that whoever made him a ship that could sail through the air would marry his daughter. The older two set out, with everything their parents could give them; then the youngest set out as well, despite their ridicule and being given less fine food. He met a little man and, when the man asked to share, he hesitated only because it was not fit. But when he opened it, the food had become fine.

Coca-Cola, CIA & The Courts
Coke & Cocaine
Part Thirteen of a Series
by Sherman H. Skolnick 4/2/04
There are many big secrets with Coca-Cola. Naturally, the monopoly press, with their financial and espionage hang-ups and conflicts of interest, are certainly in no position to ever tell you about it.
Since started several decades after the American Civil War, what was it that made Coca-Cola so popular? There were already plenty of drinks that could have been more popular.
The answer is simple. Coke had a secret formula base made up from processing coca leaves, the by-product of which is cocaine. Up to the beginning of the 20th Century, the Coca-Cola creators did say that their beverage had cocaine. And in 1903, they were taken to task by authorities for having cocaine in their drink which for many years in the beginning, was available as a soda fountain drink in pharmacies.
For a hundred years now, however, Coca-Cola Company has denied they ever had cocaine and that they deny that it has cocaine now.
Heroin causes a physical reaction when used and a terrible wrenching of the person when they seek to withdraw. Cocaine addiction, on the other hand, is primarily subconscious. Up to 1989, when you started drinking Coke, you got that "kick". Some even claimed that it had some unknown medicinal way of making you feel better. One long-time head of Coca-Cola Company contended it helped relieve pain left-over from a childhood head injury he suffered from.
But 1989 was a turning point. As we have pointed out earlier in this series, the secret base for Coca-Cola is made by Stepan Chemical Company, of Northfield, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago, through their Maywood Chemical Division in New Jersey.
I once interviewed, on tape, a top official of Stepan, who admitted that cocaine was a by-product of their processing of coca leaves for the secret Coca-Cola base, They supply, he added, cocaine for the pharmaceutical trade.
And that is where George Herbert Walker Bush has to be inserted into the picture. After eleven and a half months in 1976 as Director of Central Intelligence, he became a Director of Eli Lilly Company, which reportedly gets their cocaine from Stepan. Somewhere, somehow, cocaine "leaks out" into the dope underground. Whether between Stepan and Coke's bottlers or otherwise.
Daddy Bush's power and fortune, in greater part, is based from the beginning on dope and espionage. He was with the American CIA since 1959. As shown, by the way, by an FBI document, he helped cover up some of the post-assassination details as to the wipe-out of President John F. Kennedy. (The document is attached to our website series "Greenspan Aids and Bribes Bush".)
His firm, which the British royals helped found, was Zapata Petroleum, later called Zapata Offshore. They had branches around the world. Among other things, they did offshore drilling for oil, beyond the U.S. and other nation's jurisdiction. So dope production centers, like Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador, and others could have helicopters fly to the Zapata offshore drilling platforms, supposedly to bring routine supples. Actually, according to Reuters News items some years ago, the helicopters landed there as a transit point for the dope trafficking.
And thus some dope ended up in the U.S. An easier way, of course, was through "leakage" in the processing and handling of Coca-Cola's secret base. But by 1989, blackmailers, among the top officials of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, began poking around Coca-Cola and asking sticky questions. So Coke, in the dark brown beverage for the U.S., lessened the cocaine content in the secret base.
It was at that point that Daddy Bush, a major baron in dope trafficking, began making his move. That was right after he was inaugurated as U.S. President.
He ordered U.S. Troops to invade a foreign sovereignty, Panama, having one of the few leaders considered "of color" in the Western Hemisphere, Manuel Noriega; kidnapped Noriega, brought him to trial in Florida. Noriega's defense attorneys were forbidden by a CIA-captive Federal Judge from using any details that showed that Daddy Bush and Noriega were actually in the dope traffic together through Colombia, adjacent to Panama. Some newspapers did run a picture showing Daddy Bush and Noriega talking to one another at a business meeting.
(Also, the Bush Crime Family got into a business partnership with Colombia druglord, Carlos Lehder, who was extradicted to Florida and testified in a way about Norieaga, protecting the Bushies. Lehder's own prison sentence was lessened. And then, Lehder disappeared entirely from the U.S. Prison System. Chandra Levy wiggled her way into a key post in the Prison System Press Office, began checking on how and why Lehder disappeared from prison custody. And this led to her murder. See our website series "The Chandra Levy Affair".)
Daddy Bush also in 1989, knew that CIA's involvement with driving the Soviets out of Afghanistan was ended. AND, that the Bush Crime Family's business partnership with Osama bin Laden and others of the bin Laden family, in the major opium trade from Afghanistan, through Saudi, and then to Europe, would have to come eventually under more direct control by the Bushies.
So, in 1989, the business of Coca-Cola Company changed, They lessened the trace of cocaine in their beverage for distribution in the United States. And their U.S. market share centages began leveling off. It had nothing to do, really, with competence or incompetence of their marketing big cheeses, their advertising agency personnel, or anything of the sort. In the U.S., those opening up a container of Coke did not get that same "kick" they got from the drink in years past.
On the other hand, elsewhere in the world, sales of Coke outran most every local beverage. And there were plenty of foreign beverages with traditional flavors. Yet, Coke outsold them. WHY? Simple. For foreign consumption Coke had cocaine in the secret base.
So those drinking Coke overseas, subconsciously got addicted to Coca-Cola. It made them feel better, some thought it even made certain pains and troubles seem to go away. And Coke's marketing experts spread the fairy tale that it had to do with their great brilliant advertisements on television, even in places where only ten per cent of the populace had tv sets.
But some foreign governments began reacting. Overseas, Coke did not contribute heavily to local charities, high school sports teams, and such, as they do in the U.S. So, in Belgium, Spain, Italy, and India, among numerous other places, the authorities swooped down on Coke. There were claims that Coke allowed toxic substances to get into the drink. There were claims of Coke not keeping proper records. Whole offices of Coke's records and equipment were hauled away, to send a message to Atlanta, Georgia, Coke's headquarters.
In a way, it was also sending a message to the bosses at the American spy agency, so directly hooked to Coca-Cola. Coke's overseas offices, like those in the monopoly press, are vacuum pumps for intelligence, moreso than for gathering news or marketing the beverage whose great worldwide demand is driven by the subconscious addiction to cocaine in Coca-Cola.
And Coke developed other strange situations. They set up in Ireland, a major center for putting their ingredients together including the secret base containing cocaine. There were reports, difficult to get anyone to publicly confirm, that the IRA (the Irish Republican Army) had some arm-lock on the plant in Ireland putting together the Coca-Cola concentrate. (That is not to say, that ALL of those in the IRA had something to do with this.)
And then there were published reports that the IRA together with the Russian mafiya, were active in the dope trafficking from Colombia. The Bush White House, seldom mentioned, has sent several thousand U.S. Troops into Colombia to protect Coca-Cola's facilities and their purported purchases, by them, or their secret base processors, of coca leaves.
The most mysterious development of 1989? Somehow, Coca-Cola Company failed to renew their copyright. And so, it is now owned by a skilled storyboard producer in Indiana. See the earlier parts of this series of those details.
And as stated in the earlier parts of this series, starting later in the 1990s, was the corruption of the Federal Judges in Chicago as to a copyright case against Coca-Cola. And, aided by Coca-Cola dope funds, the corruption in 2000, of some of the 5-Judge, military-style Junta on the U.S. Supreme Court in the Bush versus Gore litigation installing Bush as the resident and occupant of the Oval Office.
(For details see earlier parts of this series.)
In February, 2004 was published "The Real Thing--Truth and Power at the Coca-Cola Company" by Constance L. Hays, a writer for the New York Times; Random House publishers. She continues the fairy tale in her book that Coca-Cola is getting more popular overseas because of the great marketing and advertising efforts of Coca-Cola. She has reportedly also stated that the trace of cocaine in Coke ended in 1989.
More coming. Stay tuned.

Birds of Prey CCXP Footage Description: Harley Quinn and Joker Break-Up
Harley Quinn and Mr. J are no more. The Birds of Prey opening sequence separates itself from 2016's Suicide Squad right from the start. DC fans at CCXP in Brazil were treated to the first few minutes from the upcoming highly anticipated superhero adventure, which stars Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn. Robbie was on hand at the event, along with other members of the cast, to deliver the first bit of substantial footage.
According to sources who attended CCXP, Birds of Prey begins with the breakup of Joker and Harley Quinn. It is Jared Leto's version of the iconic villain, but the actor is not shown and is only implied. Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn narrates the opening minutes of the movie, which then shows the character being thrown on the streets. This scene was hinted at back when some set images leaked on to social media, when the movie was in production. So far, the reaction seems to be mostly positive from the new footage shown.
After getting thrown out by the Joker, Harley Quinn gets her own place and acquires her famous hyenas. The character then heads over to Ace Chemicals, which is where she met Mr. J, and blows it up. Birds of Prey starts with a bang and prepares DC fans for a pretty unhinged storyline. In addition, Ewan McGregor's Black Mask was introduced at CCXP. According to Margot Robbie, the movie is "crazy unpredictable – as you can expect." The footage and recent posters for Birds of Prey do make it seem like anything goes with the upcoming R-rated look at Quinn and her new pals.
RELATED: Fans Hate That Black Mask Doesn't Wear a Black Mask in Birds of Prey Trailer
Along with Margot Robbie, Rosie Perez, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Ella Jay Basco, and director Birds of Prey director Cathy Yan were all on hand to deliver the opening sequence at CCXP. The movie is set to introduce Black Canary (Smollett-Bell), Huntress (Winstead), and Renee Montoya (Perez). They all team up with Harley Quinn to go up against Black Mask, who is played by Ewan McGregor. Expectations for the movie are pretty high after Robbie's portrayal of the character in 2016's Suicide Squad. Robbie took a character who wasn't super well-known outside of comic book readers and Batman: The Animated Series fans and made her a pop culture explosion.
Now, Margot Robbie is returning as Harley Quinn in both Birds of Prey and The Suicide Squad. James Gunn is currently in the middle of shooting the follow up to 2016's Suicide Squad, along with Robbie and a huge cast of new characters. Birds of Prey aims to take things to another level and separate itself from the rest of the comic book movies out there. "Behind every successful man there's a bad-ass broad," says Quinn in the opening sequence first shown at CCXP. Deadline was the first to report on the Birds of Prey opening sequence.

Yesterday was "one of those days" for me. You know the kind I'm talking about – we all have them from time to time and they can really throw you off your game. Mine began early with a set alarm that was never turned on starting my day in a late panicked rush and continued with me sending The Kid off to camp prepared for a field trip that wasn't scheduled for another 2 days, then a smashed windshield (dump truck threw a rock), and thus the day continued on an all-too-familiar path.
I carefully considered stopping at a local coffee shop to buy a decent cup of coffee to help kick-start the day back on track. I did end up getting one, but the outcome possibilities weren't appealing considering the already volatile morning and the prospect of introducing scalding hot liquids. At least I wasn't wearing white.
There were no issues with the coffee (maybe that was the turning point) and, for the most part, things calmed by early afternoon. I was grateful and reminded myself of all the things that could have gone much worse. I started counting the good things that happened instead of the bad – sort of a mind over matter way of trying to turn things around. Still, it's days like these that remind me of a time when a cascade of unfortunate events tumbled down on me at the most inconvenient of times. Not even Erma Bombeck could come up with this stuff. Real life and parenthood strike again!
Some background to start. When The Kid was fully potty trained, we had some fairly typical hiccups as she settled into the new diaper-less routine. Being as "full of personality" as she is, she also had some unique hang-ups we had to address. For example, (to put this as delicately and non-offensively as possible) it is indeed acceptable for an individual to engage in multiple "transactions" when in the restroom. Functions 1 and 2 do not need to be separate visits from each other. (How she physically managed this one is beyond me – I always thought some "transactions" were inextricably linked to others.) We also learned quickly that, as she got older, other people had more influence on her diet and she would need to take some responsibility for what she ate and the effects. Specifically, bananas. More specifically, how many bananas are acceptable for consumption in one day lest she endure the resulting effects of exceeding that limit.
We had spent a few days with The Kid being extremely and increasingly uncomfortable. Apparently, 2-3 bananas a day for several days in a row was too many and the effects were long lasting. There were countless trips to the bathroom and aside from a pained and crying toddler, there was no favorable result. I would go in with her to soothe and coach, hoping for progress. Each failed attempt was followed by something I thought might help – raisins, plums, prunes, more fluids. All to no avail.
It was in the midst of this most difficult time for her that I realized my nose was bleeding. And not just a little annoyance, but a raging flood not even close to controlled using the single tissue remaining in the bathroom. Springtime can be hard on my allergies and the sudden increase in my blood pressure was probably not helpful. I quickly darted to my bathroom and grabbed a box of tissues to gain control of myself.
With that problem solved, I quickly returned to find The Kid had also finished her business and was headed back to bed. I praised her for being so brave and tucked her back in to go to sleep. I headed back to my bathroom to finish cleaning up and replace the box of tissues when I heard more crying. I darted into the hall only to find The Kid standing in her doorway. Apparently, she had stuck to her single "transaction" rule during the excitement and didn't make it back to the bathroom when the urge hit. She had just peed on the floor in the hall.
I stripped her of the soiled clothes and took her into the bathroom to finish the "transaction" while I proceeded to clean up the hall. I heard the toilet flush followed by that telltale toddler "Uh-Oh!" which immediately translated in my mind into an overflowed toilet.
I don't recall the slew of profanities that followed, nor did I stop to investigate the cat's contribution to the night's fiasco. I understood his intention was to prevent me from stepping on a "land mine," but that job would just have to wait until morning.
On those days when I'm sure things just can't get any worse, I will always be reminded of this story. Because I know for a fact that cat vomit could be the tipping point to any series of catastrophes I may be attempting to juggle.

Oscar Piastri is your FIA Formula 2 Championship™ winner
Including four Feature Race wins in a row.
You couldn't have scripted the final race of Oscar Piastri's Formula 2® career any better than having a win in the Feature Race on Sunday.
The Championship winner had secured a big enough lead the day before in Sprint Race 1 to take out the title. However, that didn't stop him from approaching his last race any different to what you would expect from a driver of his calibre.
The 20-year-old completed a historic hat-trick at the Yas Marina Circuit. His F2® title added to his Formula 3® title in 2020 and the 2019 Formula Renault trophy.
The victory in the final Feature Race of the season made it four of these in a row and six wins for the season.
"The final race of F2 for the year is done, and we managed to win the race, which is fantastic. It is a great way to end the year and a great way to end my junior career," said Piastri.
Friday Grandstand tickets for the Formula 1® Australian Grand Prix 2022 are available from $91. Get them before they sell out.
"Thank you to everyone for your support and for all of your messages after winning the Championship. I have still got thousands unopened. It was very good to end the season on a high. I'll hopefully see you at some point on a grid in the future."
Piastri ends the season with 252.5 points, ahead of runner-up Shwartzman on 192 and Zhou on 183. Ticktum finishes fourth with 159.5 points, with Pourchaire fifth on 140.
PREMA Racing finishes the year with 444.5 points in the Teams' Championship. UNI-Virtuosi are Vice-Champions on 288. Carlin drop to third with 272.5, with Hitech fourth on 223 and ART Grand Prix fifth with 190.
Piastri will be making his Formula 1® drive debut in the post-season test this week.
He's done it! 🇦🇺

Experimenting with Press This, I dredged up one of my old posts that had no "likes." The stats tell me some people read it, but no one liked it. If you read it, you may guess the reason. I was grumpier and more opinionated back in 2011.
OK, this isn't about gardening, and not really about writing either, but… I knew this would happen — eventually a post like this would show up in this pure and simple blog.

The Making of 'In Our Hands'
By Molly Freeman (Smoking Apples Theatre Company)
Molly Freeman takes us through the making of their puppetry-based theatre show, In Our Hands, which is being performed at Plymouth's pop-up theatre festival Outpost 2015.
Performances of 'In Our Hands' are at 8pm on Wednesday 14th and Thursday 15th October

Making a show about Trawler fishing hasn't been the easiest project we'd ever done but then again, if there was no challenge involved, we just wouldn't have been interested in it at all! It's becoming quite a habit of ours to take complicated subject matter, wrap it inside a heartfelt, human narrative and make it accessible for everyone. I'm not going to lie though, there have been a couple of points during this process where I have wondered if we've bitten off more than we can chew. Combine that with working with puppetry and non-verbal visual theatre and it's safe to say we were a little daunted!
So, the question is, how did we get from feeling overwhelming and daunted by our ludicrous ideas to actually making them happen, creating the material and getting them on stage? Well, the simple answer is a LOT of trial and error. And once again, thanks to our very useful way of working, this cannot be done without a huge amount of effort. For every idea we want to try we need puppets, set and props so a huge amount of time and energy is invested before the idea is even off the ground – *gulp*. I know, that makes us sound like absolute lunatics but despite the initial hmph about it all, it does seem to be the best way of creating material for us.
There were some things we knew we wanted to include early on from our research on Trawling in Cornwall so in the beginning, we let these things lead us. Trawler fishermen are very efficient people, they only move when and where they absolutely have to and there is no superfluous movement. It's the same in their environment, on the boats, everything has a place and a purpose, they'll be a hook there because that's where they hang the rope or they'll be a hatch there because that's where they pour the fish into. No space is wasted, nothing is unnecessary. With this in mind, we started to work with our set designer Sam to create a set that was very stripped back but had endless possibilities. What we have now in the final show are three different sized blocks on wheels but all of them fit together in different configurations, they open up to create new spaces and reveal new things on a constant basis. What the things revealed are and what spaces we could make completely chopped and changed throughout the process of making the show but we developed a relationship between using the set to inspire the material and then adapting the set to suit the material.
"For every idea we want to try we need puppets, set and props so a huge amount of time and energy is invested before the idea is even off the ground – *gulp*. I know, that makes us sound like absolute lunatics but despite the initial hmph about it all, it does seem to be the best way of creating material for us."
Another huge 'argh' moment (not as in a Pirate 'argh' but a frustrated 'argh') was when it came to balancing a heartfelt, enjoyable narrative about a person, Alf, with the very real and often scientific and political facts about the current fishing industry. There is a huge amount of information surrounding Trawling and at times, it can be very dense and difficult to understand. Once we'd got our heads around it, it was then very tricky to find a way of showing that to an audience, without relying on words and also making sure that it was still something watchable. Some of the issues around Trawling involve big picture thinking, the ocean is vast and we wanted to be able to show what happens in it. We started to play around with a little model of a Trawler boat on a string and it all catapulted from there on this one. We found that by scaling everything down, we could zoom the audience's perspective right out and let them see the whole ocean, under it and also it could give them a national and global look at the problems. The miniature scale, once developed, has also given us a fun way of interacting too. These moments in the show are all a bit tongue in cheek but we really hope this makes the audiences want to come with us and invest in what we're doing. I mean who doesn't love mini Eddie Stobart lorries right?
I've talked about just a tiny bit of the creative impetus behind the show here and how our minds worked in order to make it. It's been a real labour of love and yes, that includes what I said at the beginning about worrying whether we'd be able to do it or not. But we'll let you be the judge of that. Please do come and see us (and Alf and the Eddie Stobart lorries), we'd love to know what you think and will be in the bar afterwards if you'd like to chat.

Bazylika Matki Boskiej Królowej Męczenników w Bydgoszczy – kościół położony w Bydgoszczy, którego patronem jest Matka Boża Królowa Męczenników. Od 2008 stanowi część Sanktuarium Królowej Męczenników, Kalwaria bydgoska – Golgota XX wieku.

Położenie
Bazylika znajduje się przy ul. Bołtucia, na granicy osiedla Bohaterów i Przylesia w bydgoskiej dzielnicy Fordon. Zbudowano go tuż przy drodze prowadzącej do Doliny Śmierci – miejsca kaźni ok. 1,2 tys. osób (w tym 400 Żydów), ofiar hitlerowskiego terroru, głównie inteligencji z Bydgoszczy i okolic. Od strony północnej do świątyni przylega bogate krajobrazowo Zbocze Fordońskie, w którym wytyczono szlak turystyczny im. ks. Z. Trybowskiego – pierwszego proboszcza i budowniczego kościoła i parafii.

Historia
Starania o budowę kościoła sięgają początku lat 80. XX wieku, po zapoczątkowaniu budowy nowej dzielnicy mieszkaniowej Bydgoszczy planowanej na 80 tys. osób

Parafię erygował biskup Marian Przykucki – ordynariusz chełmiński z dniem 7 października 1983
Była to pierwsza parafia na terenie "Nowego Fordonu", która do 1985 r. skupiała wszystkich nowych mieszkańców rozrastającej się dzielnicy.

Do roku 1991 użytkowano tymczasową, murowaną kaplicę, po czym nabożeństwa przeniesiono do nowo wybudowanego kościoła. Świątynię wzniesiono w latach 1987–1991, a jej konsekracja przez arcybiskupa Henryka Muszyńskiego odbyła się w rocznicę dziesięciolecia parafii 7 października 1993. W latach 1986–1988 oddano do użytku również dom katechetyczny z plebanią.

W 1992 po reformie administracyjnej kościoła, jaką przeprowadził Jan Paweł II, wszystkie sześć parafii fordońskich, w tym Matki Boskiej Królowej Męczenników zmieniły przynależność diecezjalną: z diecezji chełmińskiej do gnieźnieńskiej, w której od XVIII w. znajdowały się pozostałe parafie na terenie miasta Bydgoszczy.

Proces budowy kościoła został zakończony w 1994, kiedy arcybiskup Henryk Muszyński poświęcił kaplicę Chrystusa Ukrzyżowanego i Zmartwychwstałego. Odtąd działania twórcze i budowlane dotyczyły w coraz większym stopniu otoczenia świątyni, zwłaszcza wykorzystania Doliny Śmierci i postawionego tam pomnika do uroczystości religijnych i patriotycznych.

Świątynia ma od lat wyrazisty charakter. To naturalne miejsce spotkań kombatantów, rodzin poległych podczas II wojny światowej, osób, którym bliska jest tematyka martyrologii. Gromadzi też setki młodych, dzięki prężnej działalności Fundacji Wiatrak. W 2000 rozpoczęto budowę w sąsiedztwie kościoła Domu Jubileuszowego Centrum Kultury Katolickiej "Wiatrak". Od 2001 z udziałem wspólnot z parafii organizowane jest misterium męki Pańskiej w Bydgoszczy.

Kościół, parafia, sanktuarium wraz z Doliną Śmierci, Kalwarią Bydgoską, Domem Jubileuszowym, fundacją "Wiatrak" oraz duszpasterstwem akademickim "Martyria" stanowi obecnie prężne centrum kulturalne i religijne obejmujące nie tylko dzielnicę Fordon, a również całe miasto.

25 marca 2014 biskup Jan Tyrawa ogłosił decyzję Stolicy Apostolskiej o wyniesieniu świątyni do godności bazyliki mniejszej.

Architektura
Bryła świątyni prezentuje formę współczesną.

Dzwony
Trzy kościelne dzwony zostały poświęcone 25 kwietnia 1994 przez biskupa Bogdana Wojtusia.

Proboszczowie parafii

Dom Kultury Katolickiej "Wiatrak"
Przy parafii istnieje od 1987 r. Duszpasterstwo Akademickie "Martyria", które jest animatorem wielu wydarzeń (m.in. konkursów, festynów, koncertów) na terenie Bydgoszczy. Nazwa duszpasterstwa (Martyr – z greckiego świadek, męczennik) nawiązuje do miejsca, w którym wyrosło. W 1992 powstała Fundacja "Wiatrak", która zajmuje się propagowaniem kultury katolickiej oraz organizacją zajęć dla dzieci, młodzieży i dorosłych. W 2000 r. rozpoczęto budowę Domu Jubileuszowego, który mieści odpowiednie zaplecze i infrastrukturę do realizacji urozmaiconych zajęć kulturalnych, edukacyjnych i sportowych dla mieszkańców Bydgoszczy.

Szlak im. ks. Zygmunta Trybowskiego
W sąsiedztwie świątyni i sanktuarium znajduje się obszar ciekawy pod względem krajobrazowym. Jest to Zbocze Fordońskie wraz z systemem dolinek i wzgórz wyniesionych ok. 50 m ponad fordońskie osiedla. W 2008 wytyczono szlak turystyczny, który wiedzie poprzez fordońskie uroczyska, a którego patronem wybrano ks. Zygmunta Trybowskiego – budowniczego i pierwszego proboszcza parafii, miłośnika "fordońskich górek", czciciela Doliny Śmierci, pomysłodawcy budowy Kalwarii – Golgoty XX w.

Szlak rozpoczyna się przy grobie ks. Zygmunta Trybowskiego, na terenie Sanktuarium Królowej Męczenników. Następnie wiedzie Doliną Śmierci wzdłuż stacji Drogi Krzyżowej, aż do pomnika. Kolejnym etapem jest droga wiodąca wzdłuż krawędzi Zbocza Fordońskiego aż do narożnego wzgórza zwanego Czarną Górą lub Górą Szybowników. Z kolei szlak wiedzie na północ przecinając dolinki, wzgórza i parowy krawędzi Doliny Dolnej Wisły. Powrót do Sanktuarium następuje ścieżką wiodącą u podnóża zboczy.

Przejście szlaku umożliwia zapoznanie się z walorami krajobrazowymi zboczy Doliny Fordońskiej. Po drodze spotyka się nie tylko liczne doliny, parowy i miejsca widokowe, ale również źródliska, okazałe drzewa (m.in. dąb Napoleona). Kolejnym atutem szlaku jest możliwość zwiedzenia obiektów martyrologii (Dolina Śmierci, groby, Kalwaria) oraz okolicznościowych monumentów (pomnik nad Doliną Śmierci oraz pomnik Ikara upamiętniający fordońską szkołę szybowcową).

Sanktuarium

7 października 2008 na terenie parafii zostało erygowane sanktuarium Królowej Męczenników, Kalwaria bydgoska – Golgota XX wieku.

Punishing the Israelites
While the people of Israel were in the wilderness they found a man that gathered sticks upon the Sabbath day. They brought him to Moses and Aaron, who ordered him to be put in a place of confinement until the will of the Lord should be made known. The Lord said to Moses: "The man shall be put to death. All the people shall stone him to death with stones outside the camp." And so they stoned him, to death for disobeying the word of the Lord and breaking the Sabbath day.
Now there were three men Korah, Dathan, and Abiram who persuaded two hundred and fifty others to join them in a rebellion against Moses and Aaron. They went to Moses and said: "You and Aaron take too much upon yourselves; there are many others in this camp as good as you; why do you lift yourself above all the congregation of Israel?"
When Moses heard this and saw the men in rebellion against him and Aaron, he was overcome with distress and bowed himself to the ground. Now Korah was one of the tribe of Levi and was one of those who waited on the priests of the tabernacle. He wanted to be a priest himself and wanted someone besides Moses to be the ruler of the people.
Moses told the men who had come to him that each one of them should take a censer and burn incense in it on the next day and Aaron should do likewise. They were all to come to him with their censers burning and the Lord would show them who was to be the high priest.
The next day came Korah, Dathan, and Abiram and the two hundred and fifty men with their censers burning with incense, and Aaron came also with his censer. They stood before the door of the tabernacle for the Lord to choose which should be the high priest, and all the people stood near.
The Lord then said to Moses and Aaron: "Separate yourselves from these men that I may consume them in a moment. And tell all the people to separate themselves from Korah and his men." And Moses and Aaron and all the people of Israel did as the Lord commanded. Then Moses told the people that if the ground should open and swallow up these men they would know that Korah, Dathan, and Abiram had offended the Lord.
Hardly had Moses and Aaron and all the people separated themselves from the wicked men, when the ground opened and swallowed them up with all their tents and goods and everything that was theirs. Seeing the earth open the people fled with a great cry saying: "Lest the earth swallow us up also."
Then there came a fire from the Lord that consumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered incense. When the people of Israel saw these men destroyed by fire they murmured against Moses, saying: "These were good men and meant no harm. You have killed the people of the Lord."
Again was the anger of the Lord kindled against the people of Israel for their murmurings and he sent a great plague among them, and many began to die. Then Moses told Aaron: "Take a censer and put fire from the altar in it, and go quickly among the people and make an atonement for their sins."
Aaron did as Moses told him, and with his censer stood between the living and the dead, and prayed the Lord to stop the plague. The Lord heard the prayer of his servants and the plague ceased, but not before nearly fifteen thousand had died.
The Lord then told Moses to make each head of a tribe bring a rod, and every man who brought a rod was to have his name written on it. Aaron's name was to be written upon the rod of the tribe of Levi. Moses was to take those rods and lay them before the ark and let them stay there all night. God said: "The rod of the man whom I shall choose shall blossom." In this way the people of Israel were to know whom the Lord wanted for His high priest.
The people did as Moses said and every tribe sent a rod. Moses wrote the names of the princes or leaders upon the rods and laid them before the ark in the tabernacle and left them there all night. The next morning he went to look for them and behold, the rod of Aaron had budded, and grown blossoms, and borne almonds in the night.
Moses then brought all the rods before the people of Israel so that each man might take his rod. When the princes saw that the rod of Aaron had grown blossoms and borne almonds they knew that the Lord had chosen him to be high priest. God ordered Moses to take Aaron's rod and put it again in the tabernacle and keep it there so that the children of Israel might always know that Aaron and his sons were to be priests of the tabernacle.
The children of Israel continued on their journey and came to the desert of Zin. Here Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron, died and was buried. There was no water for the people and they gathered together and complained to Moses: "Why have you brought us into this wilderness that we and our cattle should die? Why have you made us come out of Egypt into this evil place? Here there are no figs, or vines, or pomegranates, neither is there any water to drink."
Moses and Aaron left the complaining multitude and went into the tabernacle and fell upon the ground, and prayed that God should tell them what to do. The Lord said to Moses: "Take your rod and gather all the people together and speak to the rock which is before the people, and it shall gush forth with water so that all the children of Israel and their cattle shall drink."
Then Moses and Aaron called all the people together before the rock and said to them: "Hear now, ye rebels! must we bring you water out of this rock?" And the thirsty people watched him with great eagerness. Moses lifted his hand and smote the rock twice and the water came out abundantly, and all the people drank and their cattle also.
In their journeyings the children of Israel came to Mount Hor. Here the Lord told Moses and Aaron that Aaron should not enter into the promised land but should die in the wilderness. He then told Moses to bring Aaron and Eleazor his son up into Mount Hor. After they had ascended the mountain the Lord told Moses to strip the garments from Aaron and put them on Eleazor his son. And Moses did as the Lord had directed him to do. Then Aaron died upon the top of the mountain, and Moses and Eleazor left him there. They then came down the mountain, and told the people that Aaron was dead. When the people heard this they mourned for Aaron for thirty days.

The West's Worst Shootout
by Mark Boardman and David Kennedy | Sep 1, 2022 | Features & Gunfights
The tragedy at Goingsnake left 11 men dead—and a lot of questions.
Cherokee outlaw Ezekiel "Zeke" Proctor lived a traditional Cherokee life, which put him in direct opposition with his tribal kinsmen, the Becks. Courtesy of the Oklahoma Historical Society, Mrs. Elizabeth Waldon Collection
Ezekiel Proctor was a Cherokee and proud of it.
"Zeke" had walked the Trail of Tears from Georgia to the Indian Territory when he was a seven-year-old boy in 1838. He clung to the Cherokee language, culture and customs. He dealt with White folks, but he didn't have much use for them.
In 1872, the prosperous farmer and local lawman had a beef with one specific White man: his former brother-in-law, Jim Kesterson. Stories circulated of bad blood between them, a situation made worse when Kesterson abandoned Proctor's sister and kids for another woman.
Proctor confronted Kesterson at the Hildebrand Mill, just west of Siloam Springs, Arkansas. He pulled a gun and opened up, but Kesterson's new woman, Polly Beck, got in the way and was killed.
The shooting would bring Proctor into another confrontation: with the U.S. Marshals Service.
A Shocking Statistic
Formed in 1789 to enforce federal law, the U.S. Marshals Service suffered its first casualty five years later.
Between then and 1872, 11 other officers would die in the line of duty.
But the Indian Territory was bad ground for the U.S. marshals. Officially, between 1872 and Oklahoma statehood in 1907, a shocking 93 officers were killed there. Shocking because, to date, the U.S. Marshals Service has lost a total of 287 officers nationwide, meaning that nearly one-third of those killed lost their lives in the Indian Territory. The statistic is unmatched by any other place or any other period for line-of-duty deaths in American history.
The reasons for the disparity in the Indian Territory vary. Too few officers (200 or fewer) to patrol too large an area (more than 70,000 square miles). Many Indians didn't think highly of the authorities representing the White government. And hard cases of all races found the region fertile ground for illegal enterprises, which fostered an ongoing struggle to control land and power.
Serving as a deputy U.S. marshal in the Indian Territory proved to be a tough and dangerous job, as well as a thankless one. The pay was miserable; based on fees and expenses, a deputy could expect to make between $400 and $800 a year. The pay often arrived late, sometimes months after it was due. Many of the deputy U.S. marshals took on second jobs, in local law enforcement, with the Indian police or as railroad detectives. More than a few padded their expense and travel reports to get extra money. Some, including Bob, Grat and Emmett Dalton, turned to crime, either on the side or full-time.
Why would anybody take on such a job? U.S. Marshals Service historian David Turk says some men didn't want to be farmers or cowboys or merchants. "It was a job for the adventurous," he says.
But too often, the adventure turned tragic. That's what happened with Proctor and the Tragedy at Goingsnake.

Who Decides if Proctor Dies?
A lot of folks wanted to make Proctor pay after he killed Polly. Her kinfolk wanted Proctor dead—in spite of the fact that he was related to the Becks. The Cherokees wanted to try him since Polly had been a member of the tribe. The U.S., pressured by the Becks, wanted him to pay with his life, since his intended victim, Jim Kesterson, was White. Those kinds of jurisdictional conflicts were common during the Indian Territory era. This particular conflict turned bad.
Proctor surrendered to the sheriff and asked for an immediate trial in the Cherokee courts. It was scheduled for April 15, 1872, in a house near present-day Christie, Oklahoma. But on the day of the trial, the proceedings were moved to a schoolhouse located in the Goingsnake District, which would give the upcoming incident its name.
Polly's kin were upset by the court arrangements. Too many of the locals were related to Proctor, including Cherokee Chief Lewis Downing. The Becks thought the only way to get justice, if they had to settle for that, was to have Proctor tried at the federal district court in Fort Smith, Arkansas. The U.S. authorities agreed. Deputy U.S. Marshals Jacob Owens and Joseph Peavey were assigned to retrieve Proctor.
But they made a bad decision. Knowing they might face some opposition, the officers put together a heavily armed posse of 15 men—featuring five members of the Beck clan who likely had blood, not arrest, on their minds.
The people attending Proctor's trial were also armed; some say that included the judge, the attorneys and the defendant.
The two groups met when the posse approached the schoolhouse while the court was in session.
A Remarkable Force
The Indian Territory Marshals were remarkable for their time and place. Even before Isaac C. Parker took virtual control of justice in the region as federal judge for the Western District of Arkansas in 1875, people of color wore the badge.
Blacks, Indians, mixed races—color didn't matter that much when hiring the federal lawmen. Historian Art Burton, who has written extensively on Black and Indian territorial lawmen, estimates that upwards of 50 men of color served the U.S. Marshals Service in the region during the Old West period. Records aren't clear; race wasn't noted on enlistment or other employment documents.

During his 21 years on the bench, Judge Parker encouraged that hiring practice. Many of the Blacks and Indians had grown up in the territory. They knew the geography, the culture, the language and the people, giving them an on-the-job advantage, especially since the job was primarily "in the field." Most of the time, officers delivered legal notices and documents, investigated crimes, rounded up witnesses and transported them to court, and, of course, arrested suspects. They rarely had to deal with train or bank robbers.
Anecdotal evidence indicates the marshals frequently focused on the selling or manufacture of liquor (illegal in the territory), timber poaching, Whites settling on Indian lands, rustling and counterfeiting.
All of which makes the attempted arrest of Proctor a bit out of the ordinary. The result was even more strange.

An Arrest Gone Wrong
In many Old West gunfights, history is unclear on who fired the first shot, and little is known about the incident at the schoolhouse in Goingsnake.
When the posse rode up, court participants and attendees—about 15 people—heard them and gathered at the door and windows. Another 30 folks, mostly Proctor supporters, gathered outside. It's believed that posseman White Sut Beck tried to push inside the building to take a shot at the defendant. Proctor's brother Johnson pushed the barrel down just as the shotgun fired. Then the fight became general. Proctor reportedly fired away with a Spencer carbine. After a few minutes, when the smoke cleared, nine men were dead; two more died the next day.
The posse survivors made a hasty retreat eastward, followed closely by Proctor partisans.
Among those killed: eight members of the Marshals Service, including Deputy U.S. Marshal Owens, the largest single loss of life in the agency's history. Three on the other side ended up dead, among them Proctor's brother and his attorney.
Eleven more people were wounded, including Judge Blackhaw Sixkiller and Proctor.
Word of the disaster spread quickly.
The Marshals Service collected another posse to arrest the men who had killed their agents. The Cherokee court—attended by most of those wanted for taking part in the gunfight—reconvened the next day at a nearby house.
After a quick hearing and deliberation, the jury acquitted Proctor in the shooting of Polly.
Proctor headed to the hinterlands of the Indian Territory—reportedly accompanied by 50 heavily armed Cherokees.
Others from the erstwhile court also went into hiding until things had cooled off.
Federal authorities asked Chief Downing to turn over Proctor and the others for the marshals incident, but he refused, saying that the tribe would handle the matter. The tribe wanted to prosecute the surviving members of the posse, but federal officials were reluctant to hand them over. Finally, about 18 months after the tragedy, the two sides reached an agreement: charges against Proctor were dropped in exchange for the dropping of charges against the posse.
Nobody was tried for crimes committed during the Tragedy at Goingsnake.
Injustice Reigns Here
Many members of the Marshals Service died in the Indian Territory. For them, justice was hard to come by.
During Judge Parker's time on the bench, when 79 men were hanged for the capital offenses of murder or rape, only five were executed for killing marshals. A sixth, Crawford "Cherokee Bill" Goldsby, was convicted of killing a deputy U.S. marshal during an escape attempt, but he was hanged for another murder.
Deputy U.S. Marshal Jacob G. Owens led the posse of deputy U.S. marshals from Fort Smith, Arkansas, to arrest Proctor in Goingsnake and take him to be tried for murder in Judge Parker's federal court. A year earlier, Owens arrested Wyatt Earp for horse theft in the Indian Territory. True West Archives
In case after case, killers went free—either they were never captured or juries acquitted them of their crimes. In other cases, assailants got off with light sentences. Notorious robber Henry Starr killed Deputy U.S. Marshal Floyd Wilson during an attempted arrest in December 1892. Starr finished the lawman off with a point-blank, coup de grace shot to the chest. After a number of appeals and reversals, the killer pled guilty to manslaughter and served five years in prison.
Of course, some of the killers were captured but never made it to Fort Smith alive.
Why the leniency?
Principal Cherokee Chief Lewis Downing fought the federal government over jurisdiction in the Goingsnake shootout. He never saw the outcome of his legal challenges as he died of pneumonia seven months after the battle. True West Archives
Many jurors had little love for lawmen (they also disliked outlaws), and that may have played a part. In some cases, the killings occurred in such remote locations, with little evidence and no witnesses, that the jury could not be convinced to hand down a heavy penalty.
For the dead lawman, his loved ones would not receive a pension or insurance money. The government generally didn't pay for a funeral. And all too often, the family received no justice for the loss of a man who died while protecting the community at large.
A Cherokee Hero
Proctor still had a mark left to make in the Indian Territory. He continued to serve as a local lawman. In 1877, his peers elected him to serve as Cherokee senator from the Goingsnake District. To many of his people, he was a hero.
What's most surprising, perhaps, was that in 1891, Proctor was hired as a deputy U.S. marshal, a post he held until around the turn of the 20th century.
He died of pneumonia in his own bed in February 1907; he was 76. His body was buried in a family plot, not far from where he had accidentally shot and killed Polly, and just a few miles away from the site of the Tragedy at Goingsnake.
National reports on the Goingsnake massacre were not conclusive as to who was to blame for the killings, but it made coast-to-coast news in papers from California to New York. "Nashville Union and American, April 18, 1872, News Clipping Courtesy Newspapers.com

Neuronets to Help Detect Defects in Fibre-Reinforced Plastic
https://cdn1.img.sputniknews.com/img/07e4/0c/08/1081396540_0:17:1920:1097_1200x675_80_0_0_ba7de765975f56a8a8fd96b0e1d699b1.jpg
https://sputniknews.com/science/202012081081362840-neuronets-to-help-detect-defects-in-fibre-reinforced-plastic/
Researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University and their German colleagues have jointly worked out a new method for searching for defects in semi-transparent materials.
According to Tomsk Polytechnic University researchers, the accuracy of measurements when using a newly-designed neuronet-based method will surpass all the others. The results of the research have been published in the Journal of Nondestructive Evaluation.
Fibre-reinforced plastic is a composite (material that consists of several components) made of polymer matrix and reinforced by fibreglass. It is widely used in the aerospace and automobile industries, energy production and other spheres, because it boasts a good hardness-weight ratio.

An indispensable aspect of the production and use of any modern materials, including fibre-reinforced plastic, is non-destructive testing - checks of hardness, reliability and other parameters, as well as the detection of structural defects in an object which avoids knocking it out of service or destroying it.
One of the wide-spread methods of non-destructive testing is infrared thermography, whereby materials are subjected to warming (usually with powerful optic lamps), and the surface temperature is controlled with a thermographic camera. If there are defects in a material, it will warm up and cool either slower or quicker, than an undamaged sample, the researchers noted.
According to them, this method allows to quickly control vast surfaces without contacting a material, with a good visualisation of the results, but the semi-transparency of fibre-reinforced plastic limits the use of the method of non-destructive testing.
"In non-transparent objects, the light is absorbed by the surface of a material and turns into warmth.The warmth from the surface then spreads deep into the material. Yet, in semi-transparent materials, part of lthe ight goes through them and is absorbed by the whole bulk of them. As a result, instead of surface warming we have it unevenly distributed. Hence, the methods based on the physics of surface warming are not working," explained Alexey Moskovchenko, a post-graduate of the Engineering School of non-destructive testing and security at Tomsk Polytechnic University.
The researchers designed the new method of detecting the depth of defects in semi-transparent materials with the help of artificial neural networks. They say that the efficacy of the method depends on the quantity and quality of data used to "teach" a neuronet. It is possible to train a neuronet to work with a certain material and equipment to such an extent that the accuracy of measuring will be way ahead of all the rest of methods.
The authors of the research are incorporating the newly obtained algorithms into software, which is now being worked on in the laboratory. In the future, the scientists plan to modernise the algorithm in order to boost its accuracy, while also optimising the cost of the procedure and its timeframe.
