Short Brothers began in 1925 the design of a Cirrus-engined two-seat twin-float monoplane, using the familiar duraluminum monocoque fuselage construction already proved on the Cockle, Satellite and Springbok. This design (index No. S.7) was named the Mussel after the club-house near Short Brothers' first aeroplane factory on Sheppey in 1909.While the primary purpose of the Mussel was always to contribute to current research—it owed its existence as a light touring seaplane to Eustace Short's latter-day enthusiasm for flying. When the prospect arose of building a light seaplane in succession to the Cockle he had insisted that it should be a two-seater on which he might learn to fly, and no effort was spared to make the Mussel a really delightful machine to handle. John Parker gave him his first dual instruction in July 1926 and lessons continued concurrently with experimental flying until he went solo on 19 October, 1927. Thereafter he flew with great regularity, both with Parker and solo, quite regardless of rough weather, which he seemed to enjoy even more than fine. On one occasion, while exploring a coastal landmark, each pilot thought the other was flying the Mussel, and it was some 10 minutes before they both realised that it had been flying itself in a series of gentle dives and climbing turns round the object of their interest. On 24 August, 1928, Eustace was coming in after a solo flight when he touched one wing-tip on the mast of a barge in the Medway, and the Mussel cart-wheeled into the water. Short Brothers' boatman, George Wadhams, was quickly on the spot, and Eustace was rescued unhurt, but the seaplane had both wings torn off and the tail and chassis buckled. It was stripped for inspection in the works and condemned as uneconomical for repair, its C. of A. being cancelled in January 1929. Eustace Short's solo flying time on G-EBMJ totalled 23 hours 44 minutes. It had been decided to build an improved Mussel because of its great experimental usefulness and to allow Eustace Short to continue flying, since he had little enthusiasm for landplanes but wanted to spend his time between wind and water. The Mussel lI was generally similar to the first in its final form, but it had an all-metal wing structure of NACA M.12 section and the fuselage was flat-sided at the wing-roots, so no fillets were needed; it had a 90 hp Cirrus III driving a Short patent metal airscrew, also water rudders to make taxying easier. It was launched for its first flight by Parker on 17 May, 1929, being flown to Felixstowe in June for airworthiness trials as G-AAFZ. Eustace Short enjoyed flying it as an amphibian, and in fact John Parker at last persuaded him to apply for his 'A' licence (after accumulating more than 200 hours) which was granted on 22 February, 1931. On 29 August the spare Gipsy II engine, complete with standard Moth cowling, was installed in the Mussel II, which Eustace Short continued to fly almost daily after its main development programme was finished. On 8 April, 1932, he returned from a brief flight and made a downwind but otherwise perfect landing on the Medway, but was seen to continue taxying until the seaplane grounded on the mud on the Cuxton side. George Wadhams went across at once, but Eustace was found to have died of a heart attack just after touching down, without time to cut the ignition. He evidently had some premonition of the event, for on his way out that day he had looked into Parker's office and said, 'One day I shan't switch off'; Parker called back, 'Are you all right but got no reply. Incidentally, Eustace Short never learned that ignition switches worked the opposite way to domestic ones and Dick Rowett, who usually started his engine for him, always had to call 'Switch on' before sucking in and 'Switch off' instead of 'Contact' before starting. On 12 August, 1933, G-AAFZ was raced by Parker against a Chriscraft speed-boat driven by Arthur Bray in the Rochester Regatta, repeating this performance at Sheerness on 6 September; G-AAFZ appears to have flown for the last time on 15 September, 1933, with Dennis Kemp as passenger, and was scrapped in January 1934.

Green-Lipped Mussel (perna canaliculus): Arthritis (Rheumatoid-Osteoarthritis) sufferers have have found the benefits of the green-lipped mussel to be more effective to alleviate joint pain.The pain relief they get from taking anti-inflammatory drugs has been clinically proven to be surpassed by an extract from the New Zealand's green-lipped mussels. Its anti-inflammation properties date back to the mid seventies when arthritis (inflammation of the joints)first began to appear.Green-Lipped Mussel Extracts began to manufactured as a result of the anti-inflammatory properties found in this mussel from New Zealand.Green-Lipped Mussel supplements are available in two forms: Powder Extract and Green-Lipped Mussel Oil Extract.Research on the anti-inflammation benefits of the green-lipped mussel have waved in past years because of the fact that the early clinical studies were done using a low grade version green lipped mussel extract (unstabilized powder).The Green-Lipped Mussel Oil Extract is the most effective of all the vast array of green-lipped mussel products.There is only one stabilized form of the green-lipped mussel that captures the heart of the New Zealand mussel benefits in a capsuule (softgel)that contains the lipid fraction.The green-lipped mussel capsule goes for the name of OmegaXL (name given because of the superior (synergistic) delivery of the omega 3 that replenishes the body with the most wanted essential acids of all time.There is no need to mention the benefits of the omega 3 as we all have heard of it almost every single day in the media.The Green-Lipped Mussel (Oil Extract) anti-inflammatory properties are a cut above all the others green-lipped mussel products.

The psychedlic, folk and doom fusing sounds of Mink Mussel Creek feature in this week's episode. Purveyors of the chug, and fans of tobogganing, this young group have built up a huge home-town following during their time on the live scene. In this episode they discuss their eclectic mix of influences, their collective intuition for improvisation, and their two forays into recording; the first a split single with previous Radio Dingbat subjects Cease, and the upcoming sessions for their full-length album. The performance footage from this episode was shot at the Bakery in Northbridge, and the interview at The Norfolk Basement in Fremantle. Radio Dingbat...

Described as containing the first known protein with both collagenous and elastin-like domains, byssal threads help mussels latch onto stuff. Byssal threads have a stiff tether at one end and something like a shock absorber on the other end protruding from the mussel foot. Mussel can move by it's byssus thread by cutting it off and building it again. It even is able to defend itself with byssus thread by tying predator snails down with byssus threads. Mussels can spit a byssus thread 200 times longer than their shell. The threads are secreted by a special gland in the foot. The foot's tip is pressed against a hard surface and the glandular secretion passes down a groove to the tip of the foot. A byssal thread is formed when the secretion is exposed to seawater and hardens. 時間経過 BLUE...
Mussel farmers on the Dutch coast are up in arms after environmental activists applied to prohibit the fishing of so-called 'seed mussels' in the Wadden Sea as a violation of the European Habitats Directive. A report has been commissioned to determine the effects of mussel fishing on common eider ducks and other animals native to the area. In two years, however, the livelihood for several thousand local people could be at an end. European Journal...
