  • Onions under the sausages
    Reflections on the raft of micro regulations in Australian life, including the new regulation to put onions underneath the sausages in a hot-dog or sausage sandwich. This is to reduce the slip hazard when the customer drops the meal. I wonder privately whether this is enough and the customer should follow a further regulation of never turning there sausage sandwich through 180 degrees thereby putting the onion from the relative safety of under the sausage to the more dangerous orientation. I found it interesting to find that the sign (Australian language for the deaf) for onion is a finger to the face showing a tear rolling down the face. The tradition of having a 'sanga' the local vernacular for a sausage sandwich when you vote is described. There are now regulations here as well, but in overview they all sum up to a pretty fair deal for all. MP4 recording     MP3 recording -- -- Your browser does not support the audio element.

  • Giles of Rome_2
    Well we find out about Mass which I am intensely interested in. It seems the idea he was dealing with transubstantiation ie the wine - blood thing is just folk word of mouth history. In reality he was saying that the things beyond the orbit of the moon, were not incorruptible as they were made of a different type of matter, but rather they did not have the same property of shape and there you go that is the route to matter. On reflection it would seem not such a hot issue to the deeply convoluted Medieval mind to change one thing into another with the invocation of a magical chant and magical actions. I just can't get my mind that St Thomas Aquinas should have laid down the law about celestial bodies when was so elegant about angles. And now for the major surprises, the Medieval thinkers had real time and angelic time which has got washed up with Newton and straight into our kids school books. Amazing, just so amazing. Then the second surprise is sex education Medieval style. The compromise on female sperm is a great one. Some thing to get you mind thinking. Then the issue of kids looking a little like their mum, just not dad can be made to go away. The fact that this is all coming to life live like an unfolding oil tanker spill and there is just so many fakes and fakes with in fakes. Wow! Fake News medieval style.

    We this is another absolutely vital thinker who is essential to our understanding of you Western way of thinking. I must admit I didn't think he would be so entertaining and such a window into the many streams of Medieval life that flow around each other and make this a truly complex and wonderful time.

  • Driving to a School Rememberance Day
    I was asked to attend a regional Primary School remembrance day. The shock for me at the end of it all is that I was announced as a speaker out of the blue.

  • Inertia Frame of Reference and Electric Fields
    There is genuine ignorance on inertial frames of reference, and an understanding of how we achieve a limited inertia frame with and air table or billiard table. I genuinely despair when I see the basic conventions of electric field lines cast aside. If you make the point that it makes advanced teaching that little bit more inaccessible, you can imagine the joy with which people affirm that it doesn't matter.

  • Synthetic Quizzes are great
    Hi audience, I am generating a range of lesson formats synthesized from a single Podcast that then gets cuts and spliced. It is quite profound as you are not locked to mistakes in play in education. Quality science is slipping through.

  • Strategy as it happens
    This is really just a test Podcast to trap a rare type of mindbending bug in the code. What strategy am I using now? Definitely not your classic strategy you read about, but a collection of maintain and gain ideas. I don't know how easy it is to understand at this point in time.
