# Surface Tension (short story)

"Surface Tension" is a science fiction short story by American writer James Blish, originally published in the August 1952 of Galaxy Science Fiction. As collected in Blish's The Seedling Stars, it was revised to incorporate material from his earlier story "Sunken Universe", published in Super Science Stories in 1942.

## Plot summary

A human colonization ship crash-lands on a distant planet which is Earth-like but whose only landmass is completely covered in shallow puddles of water and mostly microscopic life forms. Normal humans could not survive on this planet, so the crew must genetically engineer their descendants into something that can survive. (Blish coined the term pantropy to refer to this concept.) They create a race of microscopic aquatic humanoids to complete their mission and colonize the planet.
The majority of the story concerns one group of these genetically engineered colonists and their intelligence, curiosity, and evolving technology. In particular, the tiny aquatic humanoids develop a "space ship", or rather "air ship", which enables them to pierce the previously impenetrable surface tension of the water and travel through what is, to them, hostile space—open air—to other worlds in other puddles of water.

## Reception

"Surface Tension" was among the stories selected in 1970 by the Science Fiction Writers of America as one of the best science fiction short stories published before the creation of the Nebula Awards. As such, it was published in The Science Fiction Hall of Fame Volume One, 1929–1964. It was adapted by George Lefferts as a radio drama for X Minus One in 1956. In this adaptation, the humanoids are part of an experiment running on a doomed Earth.
Anthony Boucher, commenting on the collected version of the story, noted that although Blish might seem "to pass the most remote bounds of scientific extrapolation, ... the details are worked out in magnificently convincing manner."

# Betty and George Coumbias

Betty and George Coumbias were a Canadian married couple who sought to become the first husband and wife to complete simultaneous suicides with legal authorization. They were featured in John Zaritsky's 2007 documentary, The Suicide Tourist. Although assisted suicide was illegal in Canada, they hoped to end their lives with the approval of the government of Switzerland.
The couple's request was unusual in that, while George Coumbias suffered from heart disease, Betty Coumbias was reported to be in excellent health.
Ludwig Minelli, director of Swiss assisted-suicide group Dignitas, petitioned the Canton of Zurich to grant doctors the authority to issue lethal drugs to healthy people after being counseled by his organization, hoping to facilitate the Coumbias' suicide pact.
In 2009, Betty Coumbias developed cancer and died, while George continued to live with his heart condition. He died in 2016.

Wolstenholme was born in Lancashire. He became a school teacher, and married Mary Anne Leach in Darwen in July 1880. They moved in the 1880s to New Zealand, where he taught in the Hawke's Bay area, conducting the school at Norsewood.
Wolstenholme was an all-rounder at cricket. In November 1892, he was described by the Hawke's Bay Herald thus: "has a good defence and splendid execution, and hits very hard when once set", and a fast bowler "with rather a low delivery" who "always gets wickets". He usually opened the batting, as he did when he made his highest first-class score of 103 in an innings victory over Taranaki in 1897–98. In Hawke's Bay's victory over Taranaki in 1891–92 he took 4 for 24 and 4 for 9.
After his playing career ended, he umpired several of Hawke's Bay's home matches between 1899 and 1901.
Wolstenholme was appointed headmaster of the school at Port Ahuriri, Napier, in 1890, and the school's academic and attendance records improved markedly under his stewardship. After retiring from the position after some years, he was the storekeeper at the small town of Ongaonga, in Central Hawke's Bay. In June 1906, he disappeared for several days before being found in Wellington living under an assumed name. He returned to Napier to live, working as a relieving teacher until his sudden death in February 1914. Mary Anne and several grown-up children survived him.

# Walkstation

A walkstation is an electronic music device which provides musicians with the facilities of a music workstation in a portable package. The term was introduced as part of the marketing for the Yamaha QY10, presumably as a portmanteau of Walkman and workstation. Its usage is typically limited to the portable members of Yamaha's QY sequencer family.
The features of a walkstation are:
* sound module
* music sequencer
* (usually) a small musical keyboard.
* small size
* battery power
The heyday of the walkstation lay between the time when creating such devices was viable and the time when general-purpose portable devices, such as laptops and mobile phones, were capable of offering comparable functionality.
