He and Granny Kate were married aged 24 and 21 back in 1932, shortly before they opened their first jewellery store in downtown Johannesburg.”- Larry Brown“At a time when true love was forever, this collection was inspired by the love story of our founder and my grandpa Jack.

While mozzies’ legs may not look like much to the naked eye, this scanning electron micrograph image was taken at 800 times magnification to reveal the tarsus’ intricate microstructure. Incredibly, each of the bizarre-looking formations serves a particular purpose.“The two tarsal claws that are clearly visible allow the mosquito to grip onto most surfaces, like walls, plants or your leg. The surrounding structures, the ‘socks’, act as buffers, allowing the mosquito to land gently and accurately on all manner of surfaces,” says BBC presenter and entomologist Prof Adam Hart. “It isn’t just about physical prowess – the hairs on the feet also act as sensory structures, effectively allowing them to taste with their feet!”The image is one of the top 100 selected to tour the UK as part of the Royal Photographic Society’s International Images for Science.

Virtual reality is becoming a tool in everything from tourism to education, so it’s not at all surprising that the technology is being embraced by mining houses. Turn to page 38 for an overview of this minor (as it were) revolution, and check out page 42 for a perspective of using network cameras on mining sites.We maintain our focus on the future with a look at how you need to plan when including cryptocurrencies in your will (page 36) and considering possible digital trends for 2018 (page 48). Next month is also a big month for South African arts, with the Dance Umbrella festival celebrating its 30th year and welcoming controversial artist Steven Cohen (interviewed on page 56) back to Johannesburg and award-winning director Sylvaine Strike (see page 60 for our chat with her) bringing the late Sam Shepard’s work to the Stellenbosch stage with her interpretation of Curse Of The Starving Class.We also visit Nosy Be (page 18), Zambia (page 22) and Namibia (page 26) – all easily accessible with Airlink.Travel safely!Bruce DennillEditorSkyways Magazine is published monthly and distributed via Airlink.
