Over the course of many years, I had probably over quoted the story about Archimedes and his moment of discovery which has become known as the Eureka phenomenon.

As it gets taught in universities around the world, Archimedes discovered his famous principle while in his bath prompting him to leap out and run through the streets of Athens crying something loosely transliterated into English as Eureka, that is to say ‘I’ve found it’.

The Eureka moment is the moment of discovery accompanied by intense emotional pleasure.

So we have the Eureka moment. Today is my example of a eureka moment which I offer as a replacement for some of the overused examples.

I’m still getting my head around what I witnessed watching Question Time, yesterday evening. I was attracted to the idea of the programme with the leading candidates in the Makerfield by-election. 

Some years ago, I enjoyed Question Time,  when it permitted intelligent debate between guests with interventions from the audience. This seemed to change with the departure of the authoritative but skilfully impartial chairmanship at the time, by Robin Day and his successor David Dimbleby…

The question of copyright has become a hot issue with the rise of creative products assisted by artificial intelligence systems.

I started thinking about this recently with a specific case example. It cropped up the work directed by Jonathan Levitt in 

producing a wide range of songs supported by his lyric writers, including myself, with Stephen Tranter, and a range of distinguished poets whose work has passed beyond the limit of copyright legislation.

This example of dark Russian humour was published on X translated from a Portuguese  source. 
The story is about the interrogation of President Putin in a question and answer session at a Russian school. The first question is from Sasha….

How to spot a traitor

This audio Post was triggered by the timing of my return from a visit to my tennis club every Saturday morning.

I still enjoy listening to radio five for the sports programs. On Saturdays, there is a problem called ‘spot the traitor’. It involves three football fans, each eulogising on the football team. However, one of the fans is fake, a traitor if you like. I understand spotting a traitor has become a National TV pastime. thanks to another program.

Listening week after week, I began to see the ways in which a guest of the program attempts to identify the traitor, after listening to brief statements from each of the would be authentic fans…

I use Amazon a lot. But my appreciation of Amazon’s outstanding delivery service goes along with a considerable concern I have about the impact of its business practices at a local and a global level.

 I asked Dr Google ‘Why is Amazon criticised for its business practices?’

This is what I learned …

Celtic win breaks Hearts

Hearts football club lost the title in a race they had been leading through throughout most of the season too many times champions Celtic. They lost in a devastating fashion at the last minute.

Celtic have been serial winners of the competition. Hearts have never won it. Celtic fans enjoyed that fantastic moment. 

Hearts returned to their home territory where they were welcomed by their faithful fans. as heroes as if they had returned with victory.

Yesterday I was left feeling depressed at what I saw as hideous bias in the coverage of the upcoming local elections. Very late, I knew what I wanted to happen and feared it was probably too late 

 How to warn people about voting for charlatans?

Wouldn’t it be wonderful, I asked myself, if everyone could listen to my message before they cast their votes on Thursday. After that the idea almost wrote itself.

So here it is, a cry that may have to wait for another occasion for it to be heard…

It is now nearly a year since I became involved in a music-making project. The music is generated by an AI system by one member of a small team.

This may become a more common approach to generating music which also has implications for theory and practice.

We have now reached the inevitable stage of a start-up operation, namely the creation of a website. As a starting point, our team leader and music maker GM Jon has drafted a mission statement. 

Yes, that’s one of the features of conventional businesses likely to be familiar to most listeners to this podcast…
