UK: In Praise of David Lindsay and his Book “A Voyage to Arcturus! (14.2.2026)

14/02/2026 Adrian (釋大道)

What was written on those 30 missing pages? No one knows because they remain missing. It is interesting to speculate as what is left reads like the music (and lyrics) from “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band”. Considering how bizarre and sexually suggestive the remaining content is – one is left pondering as to the true scale of non-conformity. Anyway, a number of early SciFi writes used the agency of “sleep” as a means to travel long distances or indeed travel through time – I think this idea dates back to the French author “Louis-Sébastien Mercier” (1740-1814) and his 1771 masterpiece entitled “The Year 2440: A Dream If Ever There Was One” (L’An 2440, rêve s’il en fut jamais). I think HG Wells also borrowed this concept for his 1898 book entitled “When the Sleeper Wakes”. Lindsay, it must be said, did flesh it out somewhat by suggesting it was possible to “travel on light beams” in “torpedo-shaped metal space craft” (the essence of the modern “Alien” franchise?). Of course, it must be stressed that Arcturus was in fact the “sun” around which the planet Tormance orbited. The protagonists did not travel to the sun – but to the planet Tormance – which is an interesting and unexplained contradicting. Why not the title “A Voyage to Tormance” – as this planet seems far more warmer than earth (the main character Maskull required a blood transfusion just tosurvive – provided wilfully by a Tormance women (an allusion to the power of menstruation – perhaps?)

Cuba: Yésika is a Daughter of this Hospital! (13.2.2026)

Someone once said that when you are born a nurse there is an incurable need to take care of others, this happens with Delenis González Paneca.

“From the first time I attended her, I had a special connection, she knows almost my entire life and I know hers. You just have to spend some time interpreting the language of her eyes, her moans, her facial expressions, and you understand her perfectly. She shows you that communication goes beyond words.”

Like other children and young people from Sancti Spiritus, Yésika Mora benefits from the Cuban hospital classroom programme, created to provide educational care to paediatric patients hospitalized in cancer hospitals, injured or with conditions that require prolonged hospitalization.

With adjustments in the study programme, due to the effects in the sphere of speech, the young woman finished the twelfth grade, and in the words of Osmedy Fumero Rodríguez, professor of Spanish and Literature, “she has had the privilege of bringing teachings and lessons to a sui generis, exclusive Yésika, who lives and loves with an incomparable dedication and who earns and will win the admiration of those who know her here and in all other areas”.

Bourgeois "Dishonesty" is "Weighed" - and Found Wanting!

The first was a probate sale which wrongly completed before the grant of probate had been received. Around three weeks later, the buyer’s solicitor emailed the pair, threatening to report Mackrell to the SRA if the signed transfer form was not received soon after.

Just under an hour later, Ms Lakhani responded to say that the signed contract and transfer had been mistakenly sent to another firm and lost in the post, and there had been IT issues within the firm. This was not true.

The deed was eventually sent a few weeks later, after the grant of probate was made.

In her defence, the paralegal accused Ms Tappin of drafting the email – but Ms Tappin’s evidence was that, after being shown the email, she had told Ms Lakhani not to send it and wait for instructions from the head of department.

The SDT said it found Ms Tappin to be a “broadly credible witness”. It explained: “She accepted a significant failing in relation to supervision and document checking and her concessions were made without any apparent evasion.”

The 79-year-old former fashion editor of Harpers and Queen said: “There was something about me and my extreme youth that he thought may be pleasing to an actor’s eye.

“He’d lead me from the National Gallery and position me outside every stage door, week after week, before the start of the matinee.

“We’d await the arrival of the stars, the leading actors, hurrying into make-up and costume.”

But they were never summoned backstage.

“Nobody invited us around to their dressing rooms, or slipped a card into my father’s gloved hand, murmuring to get in touch and bring the lovely child along,” she said.

“Time was running out for my father. I was growing older every day. That was his failure, the inability to stop the march of time.

“The first violence began after the failure to find a paramour or protector, or frankly a paedophile, to share his daughter,” she said. “One who might change the family fortunes for the better.

Her dad, who died in 1956, even hoped to pimp his girl to movie legend Errol Flynn, she said.

“He’d read somewhere that Errol Flynn had a penchant for young girls, the younger the better, and began gambling a portion of his wages on a weekly basis to raise the fare to Hollywood for me and himself.”

In a post on Facebook, she wrote: “Our hearts are broken and we need to share this..

“Our autistic son has been treated so unfairly, and we feel deeply let down.

“For over four years, he’s been doing work experience at Waitrose and Partners store in Cheadle Hulme.

“Every week, for two full mornings, he worked so hard – emptying four or more cages of stock, stacking shelves, and helping wherever he could.

“He loved it there. The shop staff were absolutely amazing with him and made him feel part of the team.

“Many of them would say things like, “You work harder than some people who are paid to work here.

“He gave over 600 hours of his time – purely because he wanted to belong, contribute, and make a difference.

“When we asked if there was any chance he could be offered just a few paid hours – not as charity, but as recognition for all the time, effort, and heart he’s given – we were shocked by how dismissive and cold the response was.

“The manager said, “We can’t just let him do his thing,” when that’s exactly what he’s been doing successfully for years.”

She continued: “After everything he’s done, there was no apology, no thanks, and no recognition for his commitment. Just silence.

China: Two PRC Citizens “Fined” for Staged ‘Slum Marriage’ Video! (8.9.2025)

Chen is taking all the criticism – and I am not condoning her actions – but we must be careful in allotting blame. Remember, misogyny is also completely illegal in Socialist China and Chinese Muslims live very good and productive lives – although this fictional video (now “banned”) is obviously supposed to look as if it is outside of China. I suspect the two were on holiday somewhere and wanted to make some easy money – but instead – once the Chinese Revolutionary Police found out where the couple lived – the hinges flew-off their front-door early in the morning – probably after a “loud” (but equally “short”) knock! China has modified so quickly under the CPC that its people are still learning to come to terms with modernity, technology, and wealth. This is no excuse for bad behaviour, however, and I think these two will be punished, but only in a moderate manner (indeed, they were “fined”). Being ignorant and disrespectful of others (particularly those stuck in lesser socio-economic conditions) is only counted as “freedom” in the capitalist West.
