DAILY UNIVERSAL REGISTER BRIEFING UK: Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, delivers keynote speech on the Labour Party’s approach to national security at a Royal United Services Institute event in Westminster, London; the Post Office Ltd Horizon IT inquiry publishes its interim report on the wrongful prosecutions of sub-postmasters for theft, false accounting or fraud, and the resulting civil court case, which resulted in a £57.75 million settlement; the first episode in the new series of University Challenge is broadcast on BBC2 at 8.30pm. Amol Rajan replaces Jeremy Paxman, who had hosted the quiz show since 1994. India: G20 finance ministers and central bank governors meet in Gandhinagar, Gujarat, for a two-day event which opens with sessions on the global economy, global health, sustainable finance and infrastructure. ON THIS DAY In 1790 Thomas Saint, of London, applied for the first patent of a sewing machine design; in 1955 Walt Disney’s $17 million Disneyland theme park opened in Anaheim, California. Special invitations had been sent out to 15,000 people (including to the actor and future US president Ronald Reagan), but ticket counterfeiting led to 28,154 guests being admitted; in 1959 the first skull of the early hominid Australopithecus boisei was discovered by Mary Leakey in the Olduvai Gorge of Tanzania, east Africa; in 1979 the first session of a directly elected European parliament started in Strasbourg, with Simone Veil as its first president (obituary, July 1, 2017); in 2014 a Malaysia Airlines jet, with 298 passengers and crew on board, was shot down in a part of eastern Ukraine controlled by pro-Russia separatists. NATURE NOTES On the floor of the barn, amid the dust and old straw, were fat black pellets and, here and there, pale feathers barred with golden brown: the barn owl box in the rafters was in use. The feathers’ colour is part of a strategy to save their owner some weight: those with dark colouration are stronger but weigh more, as well as being costlier, in energy terms, to produce. Owls’ plumage lacks the waterproofing of other species, instead being specially adapted for near-silent flight: sound is broken up by structures on the wing’s leading edge, while a fine coating of tiny fibres prevents friction.
