Samuel Pauly Invents the Cartridge in 1812

(Video reuploaded to removed an allegedly copyrighted still image)

This Pauly shotgun (lot #1346) sold at Morphy's April 2019 auction for $5,535.

Samuel Johannes Pauli was born outside Bern, Switzerland in 1766, and became an engineer of wide interests. Among them were bridge design, passenger-carrying balloons (he would work seriously on a 15-20 passenger balloon service between London and Paris later in life), and firearms. Only a few years after Forsyth’s invention of fulminate priming, Pauly would become the first to use it in a fully self-contained cartridge. He patented this invention in Paris in 1812, having moved there in 1802 in pursuit of financing for his many grand projects (going then by the name Jean Samuel Pauly).

Pauly’s cartridge was a multi-part affair with a rimmed brass base containing a fulminate powder, connected to a paper or cardboard cartridge body which held a charge of regular gunpowder and the shot or ball to be fired. It was an expensive system, but contained all the necessary elements of a modern cartridge.

Pauly would move to England in 1814 (then taking the name Samuel John Pauly) in pursuit of aviation inventions, although he continued to tinker on his firearms design and filed to additional patent improvements. He died in London in 1821, and his name and work became rather obscure. His former apprentices would carry on his legacy in their own work - Nicolaus Dreyse would produce the needle fire system of Dreyse rifles used by the Prussian military, and Casimir Lefaucheux would create the pinafore system based on Pauly’s designs. Lefaucheux in fact became owner of the company in 1827, and with his son would provide the most direct link between Pauly’s design and the modern metallic cartridge.

Police in Switzerland said one person died and 14 were injured in an explosion at an apartment block

The Berlin police said early Tuesday that the killing of at least 12 people and the wounding of dozens more when a truck plowed through a Christmas market on Monday night was “a suspected terrorist attack.”

In a statement, the police added that they were working swiftly and with “necessary care” in the investigation.

.

The truck jumped the sidewalk about 8 p.m. near the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Church, whose jagged spire, a reminder of the bombings during World War II, is one of the most symbolic sites in Berlin.

The police said they later arrested a man near the scene who was suspected of driving the truck, which had been stolen from a worksite in Poland about a two-hour drive from Berlin. A passenger, identified by the authorities as a Polish national, was found dead in the cab.
There was no claim of responsibility, but the episode immediately evoked the attack in July in Nice, France, when a truck driver ran over and killed more than 80 people during Bastille Day celebrations.
The impact scattered people who just moments before had been shopping and drinking mulled wine amid stands that sell Christmas gifts, sweets and sausages. At least 45 people were injured, including several with severe wounds, the authorities said.

“People were sitting holding their heads, there were pools of blood on the floor,” said Emma Rushton, a British tourist, who was visiting Berlin for the first time and who watched as the truck crushed a stand right in front of her.

Though it was never clear if the driver in Nice was linked to the Islamic State, the group’s exhortations to run over its enemies seemed to have inspired the killer, who had a long history of disturbed and violent behavior.

If the Berlin attack turns out to have been carried out by someone who entered Germany as a migrant, it could produce yet another political crisis for Chancellor Angela Merkel. Ms. Merkel has been sharply criticized for allowing one million migrants to enter the country, often without any screening or background checks.

Heiko Maas, Germany’s justice minister, said that federal prosecutors had taken over the investigation of the episode, an indication of that the authorities suspected terrorism.

Andreas Geisel, Berlin’s top security official, initially insisted it could have been either an attack or an accident. And Thomas de Maizière, Germany’s interior minister, refused to use the word “attack” in an interview with ARD public broadcaster.
“The words we choose have a psychological effect on the whole country,” Mr. de Maizière said. “I am consciously avoiding using the word ‘attack,’ although there is a lot that points in that direction.”

Officials in Washington were less cautious in their characterization, based on similar attacks that the Islamic State seems to have inspired before, like the one in Nice.

“The United States condemns in the strongest terms what appears to have been a terrorist attack on a Christmas market in Berlin,” the National Security Council said in a statement.

Since Ms. Merkel’s decision last summer to throw open Germany’s borders to migrants and refugees, her country has grown jittery and concerned by security threats and the challenges of integrating the newcomers.

An attack on a Christmas market would likely provoke particular ire. Christmas markets are a beloved German tradition that open on the first Sunday of Advent and attract thousands of visitors throughout December until Christmas Eve.

Coming only days before Christmas, the crash left Germans numb and unnerved after months marked by a steady uptick of episodes, increasing in lethality.
The year opened with scores of sexual assaults in Cologne that were blamed on migrants and reports of a threatened attack on Munich’s main railway station.

Since February, four smaller-scale terrorist attacks have been carried out in Germany by people who said they were motivated by the Islamic State, two of them refugees.

One refugee injured five passengers on a train near Würzburg, and the other wounded 15 people when he detonated a bomb in his backpack near a concert in Ansbach.

The attacks have helped to feed a growing populist movement and have helped the far-right, nationalist Alternative for Germany party gain strength, with representation in half of the country’s 16 states.

Ms. Merkel said on Monday she was in contact with Mr. de Maizière, the interior minister, and the mayor of Berlin, Michael Müller.

“We mourn the dead and hope the many injured can be helped,” the chancellor’s spokesman, Steffen Seibert, said on Twitter.
The police in Berlin said that a man had been found dead in the passenger seat of the cab of the truck, which had Polish license plates.

Ariel Zurawski, whose company owns the truck, said in a telephone interview that his cousin had been driving it and was a reliable individual who would not be capable of a deliberate act of terrorism.

World's 1st Hydrogen Fuel Cell Jet-Wing UAV

April 2007 -- An unmanned hydrogen fuel cell powered jet-like UAV made history this week as it took to the skies over the hills of Bern, Switzerland. The Hyfish astonished its creators as it flawlessly performed vertical climbs, loops and other aerial acrobatics at speeds reaching 200 km/h. The successful maiden flight was the result of one and a half years of cooperative development between the German Air & Space Center (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Luft-und Raumfahrt) and a number of international partners including Smartfish for the plane design, Druckon, Baltico, and Teknizentrum Ainet. A record performance 1kW fuel cell and hydrogen system weighing just 3kg and capable of powering the small jet was supplied by Horizon Fuel Cell Technologies of Singapore: horizonfuelcell.com

SYND 19 4 78 POLICE AND TROOPS SEARCH FOR MORO BODY

(19 Apr 1978) Italian police and soldiers continued their massive search for the body of Aldo Moro, but without finding any trace of the former Italian prime minister. The huge operation was centred around Lake Duchesse, seventy miles north of Rome. This was the area given in an anonymous tip-off supporting to have come from the Red Brigades terrorists, who kidnapped Moro. Army detonation squads blasted the thick ice covering the lake to enable frogmen to search it and for dragging operations to be carried out. Meanwhile, in Turin, Giannino Guiso, the lawyer defending the Red Brigades gangleaders, said they laughed when they heard the contents of the note alleging that Moro had been tried by the Brigades, found guilty and sentenced to death by suicide. Guiso said the gangleaders' reaction strengthened his belief that the communique was false and did not come from the Red Brigades.

Swiss engineer versus killer landmines

Swiss engineer, Frédéric Guerne, has dedicated half his life to making machines that clear mines. He has now developed what he believes is the best minesweeper in existence. (SRF/swissinfo.ch)

Guerne is the director of the non-profit Digger Foundation in Tavannes in the Jura, which has produced an armoured 12-ton, remote-controlled precision machine for clearing mines, the fourth generation model. The D-250 is otherwise known as the “Excavator”, and it does the job of 300 people in the field.

The D-250 digs up mines from the ground, removes them from trees and detonates them. Even mines with up to 10 kilograms of explosives cannot harm the device. It is used in around 15 countries worldwide.

Guerne started his work in 1998 in his farmhouse. For many years he worked voluntarily on new prototypes. He says,When I think of the children who are still living thanks to our machines, it gives me the energy to keep going.”

Land mines are weapons of mass destruction, which do not discriminate between civilians and combatants. The use and production of antipersonnel mines is banned under the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty. But still, in 2015 an average of 18 people around the world lost their lives or limbs every day to landmines or other explosive remnants of war. Over 6,460 people were hurt or killed in that year and the number continues to rise.

The Nobel Peace Prize for 1997 went to the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) for its work on the banning and clearing of anti-personnel mines. But there are still vast mined areas in many former war zones, and less and less money is spent on the expensive demining of the areas.

In the series 'Swiss Pioneers', Swiss Public Television, SRF, meets Swiss nationals at home and abroad who have made a name for themselves in their area of expertise.

Jean Tinguely Study for the End of the World No2.m4v

Jean Tinguely (22 May 1925 in Fribourg, Switzerland -- 30 August 1991 in Bern) was a Swiss painter and sculptor. He is best known for his sculptural machines or kinetic art, in the Dada tradition; known officially as metamechanics. Tinguely's art satirized the mindless overproduction of material goods in advanced industrial society.
Tinguely grew up in Basel, but moved to France as a young adult to pursue a career in art. He belonged to the Parisian avantgarde in the mid-twentieth century and was one of the artists who signed the New Realist's manifesto (Nouveau réalisme) in 1960.
His best-known work, a self-destroying sculpture titled Homage to New York (1960), only partially self-destructed at the Museum of Modern Art, New York City, although his later work, Study for an End of the World No. 2 (1962), detonated successfully in front of an audience gathered in the desert outside Las Vegas.

In Arthur Penn's Mickey One (1965) the mime-like Artist (Kamatari Fujiwara) with his self-destructive machine is an obvious Tinguely tribute..

37 FACTS ABOUT NORTH KOREA - NORTH KOREA FACTS

Some nations are known for their neutrality, others are known for belligerence, and some even for chocolate. North Korea, on the other hand, is known simply for the madness of its institutions and the laws that govern its land. It has to be said that although the country’s treatment of its population is tragic, some of the nation’s history is simply funny. From the former supreme leader Kim Jong-il’s hair to his glasses, there is plenty to laugh at when it comes to North Korea.

Just days before Kim Jong-un's birthday, North Korea made headlines once again with the surprise announcement that the reclusive state had carried out a successful hydrogen bomb test.

A first for the DPRK, it is a huge step forward for the country's military, but a concerning development for South Korea, Japan and the US, which has several military bases in the region.

While some have billed the test as an early birthday present for Kim, we look at strange – but possibly true – facts about one of the world's most secretive heads of state and his country.

Kim Jong-un is the world's youngest head of state, believed to be turning 33 on 8 January – but nobody really knows his true age.

He was born to his late father Kim Jong-Il and his second mistress Ko Young Hee.

He is the second of three children. He has an elder brother called Kim Jong-chul and a younger sister called Kim Yo-jong.

Despite no formal military training, Kim Jong-un is head of one of the largest armies in the world. According to the US State Department, DPRK has an estimated active duty military force of up to 1.2 million personnel.

The only known information on his early life comes from defectors and those who have claimed to see him abroad, such as his education in Switzerland.

North Korean quartet The Moranbong Band were allegedly hand-picked by the Supreme Leader to form North Korea's first-ever all-female band.

Rumours that he had his ex-girlfriend singer Hyon Song-Wyol executed were quashed when she appeared on television in 2014.

North Korea's constitution speaks of democratic voting and freedom of expression, even though this is not carried out in practice.

Ballots in the DPRK have only one option on them.

For many years, only one confirmed picture of Kim was known outside of the DPRK – which was reportedly taken when he was 11, in the mid-1990s.

According to reports, Kim is a fan of Eric Clapton.

In 2013, he was awarded an honorary doctorate in economics by a private Malaysian university called the HELP University.

According to Kim Jong-il's former personal chef, Kim was always the favourite to be his father's successor.

Kim Jong-Un
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visits the Kumsusan Palace of the Sun to mark the 21st anniversary of the death of founder Kim Il SungReuters
He has been named Yŏngmyŏng-han Tongji which loosely translates to Brilliant Comrade.

After the death of his father, the ruling Workers' Party said in an editorial: We vow with bleeding tears to call Kim Jong-un our supreme commander, our leader.

He reportedly imports vast quantities of emmental, or Swiss cheese, in order to combat his cravings.

Kim reportedly suffers from health problems, including diabetes.

In 2015, South Korea reported he weighs 130kg.

According to leaks sprung by Chinese diplomats linked to insiders within the DPRK, Kim Jong-Un had plastic surgery years ago in order to look like his grandfather Kim Il-Sung.

Whole families are affected if a person violates a law or is sent to a prison camp – meaning grandparents, parents and children of the offender are sent to work too.

Kim Jong-il allegedly imported brandy, which he had a taste for.

Recreating the Big Bang at the Large Hadron Collider

Yale Professor of Physics John Harris explains what scientists hope to discover with ALICE, one of four main experiments at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN near Geneva, Switzerland. Along with the rest of the ALICE team, Harris, who heads the U.S. ALICE collaboration, is trying to recreate the first moments after the Big Bang, when the universe existed as an extremely hot, energetic soup of quarks and gluons.
