Podcasts about Aylesbury

On this week's episode of Three Ravens, we are chatting all about the history and folklore of Buckinghamshire, a county once believed - completely wrongly - to have very few folktales... We start off chatting about St Patrick's Day, discussing his weird life amongst pirates and of generally annoying people, all before he became Patron Saint of Ireland, after which we bounce on over to Buckinghamshire!After discussing how this week's Local Legends guest Dr Terrie Howie changed the game in terms of how people view the legends of the area, we start to delve into some strange facets of the county's history, including how Alan Turing and the codebreakers of Bletchley Park were haunted by a caffeine-hungry spectre, the strange and sinister doings of The Hellfire Club, and Buckinghamshire's very own dragon story.Then Martin not just double or triple carbs it, but presents the possibility of a four carbohydrate County Dish, while also getting quite alliterative...Next, we chew over some folklore, including one of the first UFO reports in British history, which occurred in Buckinghamshire, relay the details of some of the county's rather annoying, hedge-jumping fae beings, tell the tale of a spooky Green Man/ghost/Bishop hybrid, and throw a bone to the Black Beast of Aylesbury - all enhanced by some excerpts from Saturday's full Local Legends interview with Terrie.Then it's on to the main event: Martin's story "Cassian, The Vampire of Milton Keynes," in which the good folk of Buckinghamshire work together to show the divine power of a well written letter...We really hope you enjoy the episode, and will be back on Thursday with a new Forgotten Melodies bonus episode about Sea Shanties, all before the full interview with Terrie comes out on Saturday!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Martin Kuhrt is the senior pastor and Vicar of the Church of the Holy Spirit in Aylesbury, in the United Kingdom. Recently, his church hosted one of our From Porn to Grace conferences. Martin discusses the opposition he went through from persons in his church and in other ways, how the conference went, and his perspective on whether UK churches are facing the epidemic of porn and sexual sin in the church.

Vous le savez, What A Game, c'est du football, mais pas que ! On aime aussi vous parler de l'Angleterre et de sa culture au sens plus large. Dans cet épisode, Damien qui a vécu et travaillé presque deux ans dans un manoir à Aylesbury, nous raconte sa journée type au pays des lads, entre protocole militaire autour du thé, gastronomie douteuse et après-midi au pub.

In 2023, R&A Engineering won a contract to produce several hundred aluminium parts per month across six variants for assembly into sensors that optimise wind turbine orientation to maximise power output. The job involved tying up a pair of BT 40-taper VMCs, which impacted the Aylesbury-based subcontractor's ability to do other work. So, the decision was taken to order and transfer production to a 30-taper, high-speed Brother M200X3 VMC with a 16,000rpm spindle. Delivered in August 2023 by Whitehouse Machine Tools, the Speedio M200X3 5-axis VMC has, on average, halved the time it takes to complete post-anodising milling, drilling and tapping operations on the six components. Therefore, the machine can perform the same work as the two VMCs used previously, which are now free to carry out other work. Ed Piotrowski, Operations Manager at R&A, said: “We approached a couple of 30-taper VMC suppliers, but Whitehouse was the obvious choice, even though we have never bought a machine from them before. It is a family-run firm like ours and has a similar ethos regarding service, which was obvious when we visited their showroom in Kenilworth for demonstrations.” “The Brother performs very well. Cycle times are now between one-and-a-half and four minutes, half of what they were before, and the ±0.05mm tolerance is held all day long without any problem. It is an accurate machine.” Established in 1985 by Ed's parents, Richard and Alison, and currently employing 18 staff, R&A has grown by 50% since 2021. It has invested £800,000 in machine tools over the past couple of years and is looking to automate production in the turning and milling sections. The rationale is twofold: to take on extra work without compromising existing, long-running contracts; and to be more cost-competitive on the world stage to accelerate the flow of work already being reshored from Asia and elsewhere in increasing quantities. Ed has some interesting insights into why a subcontractor should invest in a 30-taper VMC. An adage in contract manufacturing is that one never knows what work will come through the door next. Therefore, the wider applicability of a 40-taper machine due to its size and power makes more sense. The first advantage of a nimble milling machine with a smaller diameter tool interface is high-speed production, which translates into greater profitability. Not only does the elevated spindle speed combined with up to 30m/min cutting feed rate provide generous metal removal rates, but idle times are lower due to 50m/min rapids in the X, Y, and Z axes. A less well-known benefit is the vastly lower power consumption of 30-taper machines. Ed advised that the M200X3 draws less than 10kVA, versus typically 50kVA for a 40-taper VMC or perhaps even more if it is an old machine. Energy bills are therefore lower and, as is the case at the Aylesbury facility, if a factory is close to its power supply limit, the lower kVA rating is a godsend. Reviewing the characteristics of the respective BT spindle machines, Ed observes that while power and rigidity are higher in a 40-taper VMC, modern, smaller-taper counterparts such as the Brother have a reasonably well-specified spindle motor with good torque, even in the medium to high-speed range. The drive motors are also consistent with robust machining, and face-and-taper-contact tool retention assists further, as in R&A's case. “Although machining of light alloys is the province of this type of machine, using modern CAM software to create intelligent cycles involving light depths of cut and high-speed contouring means that tough and difficult-to-machine metals can also be tackled.” The M200X3 has a further advantage for OEMs and subcontractors alike. It is equipped with a torque motor to drive the rotary table, allowing a component to be indexed and rotated at up to 2,000rpm so it can be machined with a static turning tool in the spindle. Completing this second operation in-cycle without the need to re-fixture the part in a lathe raises accuracy and productivity. The mill-turn capacity in a small footprint holds much potential on the shop floor at R&A. Take, for example, the wind turbine sensor job for which the machine was purchased. All six parts undergo turn-milling on a lathe before being sent out for anodising. The Brother must only remove the insulative anodic layer in certain areas to provide electrical conductivity. With the latter machine's turning capability, all parts could be completely machined. Richard and Ed are actively considering this possibility, which would require automated component handling to be retrofitted. In addition to seizing opportunities in the renewable energy sector, R&A is also taking advantage of growth in vehicle electrification. Two aluminium parts have already been produced on the Brother VMC for the latter sector. One is an EV engine terminal block, which is milled, drilled and tapped in a 20-minute cycle. Another engine part has been transferred to the M200X3 from a 40-taper machine, with the part now machined in eight minutes rather than 12, again leading to more competitiveness, shorter lead times and more overall capacity on the shop floor. Ed is already planning the next job for the Brother. Water purification work accounts for about one-third of the subcontractor's turnover. One of the parts machined from Ertacetal, an electrically conductive plastic, is currently turned and milled in four set-ups on three other machine tools. On the Brother it will come off complete after two set-ups.

Send us a textSeason 2, Episode 26Well January and February slots are getting full with some exciting guests so Martin & Patrick thought they would fit in one with themselves.The Boy's are on the road again and this episode has been recorded in their hotel room in Aylesbury the night prior to an interview with another exciting celebrity guest.Onto todays episode, the boys bring us up to date with their respective illnesses Heart Disease and Stage 4 lung Cancer.Cancer is a large group of diseases that can start in almost any organ or tissue of the body when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably, go beyond their usual boundaries to invade adjoining parts of the body and/or spread to other organs.Coronary heart disease occurs when the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle is blocked or reduced. This puts an increased strain on the heart, and can lead to: angina – chest pain caused by restricted blood flow to the heart muscle. heart attacks – where the blood flow to the heart muscle is suddenly blocked.Some interesting facts about the two illnesses and a discussion around these facts. Martin has been looking at his own security online, and thus discusses Scammers and how to be safe online and deal with emails or telephone calls that don't seem right. Some tips on passwords and what to look out for online.Finally we do get a chance for "Martins Joke of the week" it's quite a long one this time but please stick with it.#Stoma#HeartTransplant#EbsteinsAnomaly#RareCondition#HealthJourney#LifeChangingDiagnosis#MentalHealth#Vulnerability#SelfCompassion#PostTraumaticGrowth#MedicalMiracle#BBCSports#Inspiration#Cardiology#Surgery#Podcast#Healthcare#HeartHealth#MedicalBreakthrough#EmotionalJourney#SupportSystem#HealthcareHeroes#PatientStories#CardiologyCare#MedicalJourney#LifeLessons#MentalWellness#HealthAwareness#InspirationalTalk#LivingWithIllness#RareDiseaseAwareness#SharingIsCaring#MedicalSupport#BBCReporter#HeartDisease#PodcastInterview#HealthTalk#Empowerment#Wellbeing#HealthPodcast#ChronicIllnessCheck out our new website at www.whostomanddick.comCheck out our website at www.whostomanddick.com

Welcome to today's Unbelievable Debate, recorded live at St Michael's Aylesbury, where two distinguished scholars, Robert Scott and Muhammad Yasir Al-Hanafi, engage in a thought-provoking debate on the historical verifiability, truth, and societal contributions of their respective faiths: Christianity and Islam. Join us as we delve into these complex topics with respect and curiosity and discuss the different truth claims of each religion ask whether we can collaboratively embrace our differences toward the common social and human good? Scott and Yasir explore deep and challenging questions, such as: Are the core beliefs of Christianity and Islam historically verifiable? What contributions do these religions make to society? Is belief in God necessary for the world to function? Today's debate also features a lively Q&A session, where students and attendees pose difficult and often misunderstood questions including: "Someone told me that in Islam, if you kill an unbeliever (an ‘infidel'), then 72 virgins are waiting for you in heaven. Is that true?" "How does the chain of transmission work in Islam?" "If everything in the world has a cause and God is the cause of everything, who caused God?" Join us as we delve into these complex topics with respect and curiosity. ***We have another Christian vs Islam dialogue coming up soon so, if you still have questions -- we want to hear from you -- please do drop us your in the comments or email us at unbelievable@premier.org.uk • Subscribe to the Unbelievable? podcast: https://pod.link/267142101 • More shows, free eBook & newsletter: https://premierunbelievable.com • For live events: http://www.unbelievable.live • For online learning: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/training • Support us in the USA: http://www.premierinsight.org/unbelievableshow • Support us in the rest of the world: https://www.premierunbelievable.com/donate

Keywords therapeutic communities, prisons, storytelling, psychotherapy, Glen Parva, conflicts, psychodynamic approach, community, psychosynthesis psychotherapy, self-care Key points; Therapeutic communities in prisons provide a supportive and transformative environment for offenders.

Thousands of Welsh farmers have protested outside the Senedd, the Welsh Parliament, in Cardiff. They are angry at plans for a new Welsh system of subsidies: The Sustainable Farming Scheme. They say proposals to use 10% of their land for growing trees and a further 10% for wildlife habitats are unworkable. The Welsh Government insists it is listening to their concerns and the scheme is under consultation. Many farmers say the scheme would jeopardise their businesses and feel the government isn't listening. Forty new Natural Flood Management projects across England are to share £25 million of government funding to help alleviate flooding. Tree planting, creating wetlands and reconnecting rivers with their floodplains all help ‘slow the flow'. Farmers can apply for grants to help manage river catchments as part of agri-environment schemes. The Ribble Rivers Trust in Lancashire has been allocated more than a million pounds for four new projects. We visit one of them, which uses a series of dams to hold water upstream longer.Campaigners in rural Buckinghamshire have called plans to build one of the largest battery storage facilities in Europe on their doorstep 'outrageous'. The proposals would see nearly 900 storage containers built on 26 acres of land in the village of Granborough near Aylesbury. The company Statera says the battery farm is needed to support the rapid growth in renewable energy. Presenter = Caz Graham Producer = Rebecca Rooney

It's not often we get to chat with someone whose website banner includes the words "where to find G.O.D" but here we are. Jodi Clarke and husband Greg run Great Ocean Ducks (G.O.D) from their property situated  near one of the most famous driving roads in the world - Victoria's great Ocean Road. They began in 2009 with 30 ducklings and no idea about what they were doing , with the couple choosing to farm the Aylesbury  Duck for its historical connections. The Aylesbury is the classic English table duck and was wildly popular in the 19th century - and is well known in pop culture with perhaps Jemima Puddleduck from the Beatrix Potter novels probably being the best anthropomorphic example of an Aylesbury.  In late 2012 Great Ocean Ducks started rearing Pekin Ducks instead of Aylesbury's (a type of duck, not to be confused with Peking Duck - a Chinese Dish) and started feeding all their ducks strawberries and other fruits. (For anyone interested, Scrooge McDuck being a pop culture example of a pekin).Great Ocean Ducks has gone from strength to strength, with Greg having previously worked as a food journalist they were able to leverage existing relationships and networks to showcase their ducks and  that has resulted in their humble product passing the "chef test" and has resulted in them now supplying some of the best restaurants in Australia. These restaurants include Brae, Du Fermier, Attica and Movida. Just Duck, a book featuring recipes from acclaimed chefs and stories of their farming adventure, was written in 2015.We chat with Jodi about starting a farm with no idea (her words not ours), the demands of Duck Farming, the "hardest workers on the farm"; their Malamute livestock guardians as well as the farm gate premises that G.O.D are building.  Hosts: Sam Baff and Jayde Timms from Grown Not FlownGuest: Jodi Clarke - Great Ocean DucksWebsite: www.greatoceanducks.comInstagram: @greatoceanducks

George Chapman, who died in 2006, was brought up in the working-class docklands area of Merseyside, Liverpool. He worked variously as a docker, a firefighter, and he was a professional boxer. Maurice Barbanell, former Fleet Street newspaper editor once remarked about Chapman; ‘When Spiritualism's history comes to be written, the Lang/Chapman partnership, which has brought health to thousands of sufferers after their cases were called “hopeless”, will contribute some of its most illumined pages', and this will shortly be explained. During World War II Chapman became an Air Force Commander and then he joined Marines, where he taught unarmed combat. He met his wife Margaret in 1945 and they had a daughter Vivian, but sadly she died just 4 weeks after her birth. This tragedy caused Chapman to consider, was there an afterlife? In search of answers, he turned to the Clergy, but they warned him not to dabble ‘in the supernatural.' After the War, Chapman joined the Fire Brigade where he met a fellow fireman called Leslie Miles. On the long nightshifts between emergency calls, Miles would experiment with an upturned tumbler and the letters of the alphabet, in an attempt to receive messages from the spirit world, and it wasn't long before the rest of the fire crew, their curiosity fully aroused, joined in with him. Soon, they were all sitting around the table at night at the fire station, putting their fingers on the glass and watching it move from letter to letter to spell out words and phrases. Meanwhile at home, Chapman began to do the same thing with his wife, and before long he was stunned to receive a message purportedly from his dead mother, who had died when he was just 5 years old. Of course, he needed to check that he wasn't simply deluding himself, and so he asked his relatives to see if what his dead mother had told him could be verified. To his surprise, his relatives confirmed it all to be completely correct. This helped Chapman to believe that there really could be life-after-death and he began to spend a couple of hours at home every day trying to receive more messages from spirits. To his surprise, many of the messages they gave him told him that he was a healer. As well as being a fireman, Chapman was a professional boxer. How on earth could he be a healer then, he wondered to himself? He had to find out more and so soon he put together a development circle with likeminded people, where further spirit messages repeated to him that he was a healer. Spirits were coming through Chapman – even though he had no idea at the time because he had gone into trance and was completely oblivious to it. The spirits were healers too, they said, and they were going to work with him. According to Chapman's later biography, ‘One of the spirits was introduced to us as Dr. Lang.' Dr. Lang told them that Chapman would be working with him to heal sick patients. Of course, Chapman didn't take this as fact; after all, it sounded completely incredulous, and firstly, he wanted to know if a Dr. Lang had even ever really existed. He wanted absolute proof. ‘Too many alleged spirit guides do not stand up to critical exam,' he wrote, and the spirit communicating with them, ‘should be able to give dates, names, and details of his earthly experiences.' Dr. Lang duly went on to give names, dates, places, for the purpose of verification, and Chapman began to check them out.  ‘There were colleagues of Lang still in practice. There were also patients who had consulted him while he was a surgeon on earth…they confirmed that it was the same Dr. Lang they had known.' Pretty soon, Chapman began to do what the spirits were urging him to do – to become a healer and treat people, and he set up a clinic at his home in Aylesbury. One of his patients was a Dr. Kildare Singer, who had been taught ophthalmology by Dr. Lang at the Middlesex Hospital and was suffering with cancer. When Dr. Singer came to hear that people were visiting Chapman to receive spiritual he...

PLEASE HELP: Russ Walks The Uk Anticlockwise Welcome to another episode of "Inspirational Journeys." In this episode, we're diving into the captivating life story of Russ Chittenden, a man whose journey has captured the hearts of many. Through his own words, Russ takes us on a remarkable expedition of his experiences and the lessons he's learned along the way. Russ begins his narrative by recounting his origins, having been born in Minster Hospital on the Isle of Sheppey. Although he holds no personal memories of the island, fate would soon guide his family's path towards new horizons. At the tender age of one or two, Russ and his family relocated to Nottingham, a move that marked the beginning of a transformative journey spanning 39 years. Growing up amidst the sprawling expanse of the University of Nottingham's 52-acre sports fields, Russ reminisces about his childhood adventures alongside his siblings. His father's role as head groundsman not only shaped their living situation but also instilled within him a strong connection to the outdoors and the freedom it represents. A house that once stood as their home is now etched into history as a tram line, a poignant reminder of the passage of time. With a chuckle, Russ shares the tale of his unconventional school routine, a "free range" existence reminiscent of unfettered chickens. The daily dinner call echoed through the fields at 5pm, drawing the Chittenden siblings back home like a flock. Russ reveals that even attending school required creative coaxing, including the occasional tractor ride to ensure his presence. Formal education may not have ignited his passion, but these anecdotes paint a vivid picture of a spirited young soul unbounded by convention. As he entered his teenage years, a new chapter unfolded with a move to Aylesbury. This transition, though unintentional, sparked a yearning for exploration and a desire to break free from confinement. This yearning was eventually answered through a bold career shift into the military, granting Russ the opportunity to explore distant lands. The Indian Ocean, the Malacca Straits, and the South China Sea became his maritime playground during a transformative two-year journey post-military service. Russ's versatility shines as he recounts his experiences in home construction, a skill honed before his military tenure. This skill not only left its mark on his native counties but carried him across continents. Stepping foot on African soil and engaging with diverse cultures worldwide, Russ's tale becomes a testament to the unquenchable thirst for discovery. The most poignant facet of Russ's journey comes to light as he reveals his motivations for an extraordinary coastal expedition. This quest, fueled by a desire for boundless existence, now takes on a dual purpose — to uplift fellow citizens who've faced adversity in service to their nation. Russ's heartwarming commitment to giving back underscores the depth of his character. In closing, Russ reflects on the life he's lived thus far, expressing a profound sense of fulfillment. His words resonate with the assurance that if his time were to end tomorrow, his life would be regarded as one richly lived. Interacting with his listeners, he expresses gratitude for the connections made and the shared experiences that make the United Kingdom truly special. With a touch of humor, Russ playfully anticipates his return home, knowing that the allure of the unknown will soon beckon him once more. As we wrap up this episode, we're reminded of the power of a life fully lived, a journey enriched by experiences, connections, and the unwavering pursuit of the next horizon. Thank you for joining us on "Inspirational Journeys." Be sure to tune in next time as we uncover more extraordinary stories of individuals who've embarked on paths less traveled, leaving behind trails of inspiration for us all.
