Sir Robert Peel received royal assent for the Metropolis Police Improvement Bill on 19th June, 1829 - leading to the creation of London's first professional police force, who were soon nicknamed ‘Bobbies' in tribute. The Met's first constables hit the streets that Autumn, dressed in tailcoats (to signify their role as servants of the people), and top hats (strengthened with an iron ring for protection), and all in blue to distinguish them from the red colouring used by the Army. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly unpick ‘Policing By Consent'; reveal the recruitment criteria for new members of the force; and explain why officers became known as ‘PC Plod'...

With the advent of AI and dominance of social media, it's easy for educators to worry about digital literacy and how best to integrate it into their students' learning. In this episode of HEP Talks, Luke Kemper talks with Andrew Swanson, Executive Producer for BBC Bitesize, about BBC Bitesize's news and media literacy resources collectively titled 'Other Side of the Story'. The discussion centres on what the resources contain and how they can be used to help inform students about bias, polarisation, fake news, and artificially generated content. It also veers into what teachers and pupils think about media literacy and the credibility of the sources with which they engage.

The public stocks in St Clement's Dane's parish (now Portugal Street in London's Strand) were finally dismantled on 4th August, 1826. They had originally been mandated in 1351, to subjugate labourers demanding higher wages.  Not to be confused for pillories (which restrain both head and hands), stocks (which restrain only the feet) were used for lesser ‘crimes', such as homosexuality, heresy, and drunkenness. The treatment of prisoners was essentially at the crowd's discretion: at the minor end of the scale, humiliation, but, if rocks or bricks were thrown, sometimes fatality.  In this episode, Arion, Rebeca and Olly uncover celebrities-in-the-stocks Cardinal Wolsey and Daniel Defoe; explain why this medieval punishment was never formally abolished in Britain; and reveal the ecclesiastical purpose of ‘the finger stocks'...  Further Reading: • ‘Haydn's Dictionary of Dates Relating to All Ages and Nations' (E.

The Magna Carta would not have become law unless a group of Barons had first renounced their allegiance to King John on 5th May, 1215. Primarily protecting their own interests, they were keen to prevent John burdening them with ever-higher taxes to fund his seemingly endless Wars.  Even once agreed, the now-revered document contained some surprising clauses: for example a law preventing members of a particular family ever serving as a Royal officer; and another stating that, ‘no one should be arrested or imprisoned on the appeal of a woman, for the death of any person except her husband.' In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly uncover the legal loopholes John had previously exploited to enforce his tax hikes; consider the tricky business of trying to get a rapid response from the Pope; and reveal the Magna Carta's original title…  Further Reading: • ‘King John and the Magna Carta - The Magna Carta' (BBC Bitesize): https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/zcyx2v4/articles/zcg66g8 • ‘Magna Carta - The True Story Behind the Charter - By David Starkey' (Hodder & Stoughton, 2015): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Magna_Carta/JtCVBgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=article+of+the+barons&printsec=frontcover • ‘Horrible Histories Song - Magna Carta 800 Years' (CBBC, 2015): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTWQzF1027I #1200s #Royals #UK We'll be back on Monday - unless you join

Ask most people which day of the week they dread the most and the answer is likely to be Monday. The first day of the week can make us grouchy and depressed, which is why the feeling is described as the Monday blues. But what is it exactly that makes us feel down and does it affect everyone?问大多数人他们最害怕一周中的哪一天，答案很可能是星期一。一周的第一天会让我们不高兴和沮丧，这就是为什么这种感觉被描述为星期一忧郁。但究竟是什么让我们感到沮丧，它会影响每个人吗？Apparently, the most depressing day of the year is the third Monday in January, when it's cold and dark outside. This day was nicknamed ‘Blue Monday' by psychologist Cliff Arnall in 2004. He came up with it after a holiday company asked him for a ‘scientific formula' for the January blues.显然，一年中最令人沮丧的一天是一月的第三个星期一，那时外面又冷又黑。 2004 年，心理学家 Cliff Arnall 给这一天起了个绰号“蓝色星期一”。在一家度假公司向他请教一月忧郁症的“科学公式”后，他想出了这一天。Even if there was little science behind the formula, it's probably true that the sound of our alarm clock on any Monday morning signals the dawning of a new week and possibly the end of our weekend of fun. Research shows our Monday mood can be based on a direct comparison to the day before. It's what psychologists call an emotional shift, and no other part of the week has a transition like it.即使这个公式背后几乎没有科学依据，但我们在任何一个星期一早上的闹钟响起都可能预示着新一周的开始，也可能是我们周末乐趣的结束。研究表明，我们的周一情绪可以基于与前一天的直接比较。这就是心理学家所说的情绪转变，一周的其他时间都没有这样的转变。Monday means the end of weekend lie-ins – it's back to the routine and the realisation that there are five days ahead of the nine-to-five, and according to the BBC Bitesize website “If you can't stand your job then the Monday blues can be very real.” And your miserable Monday is followed by trying Tuesday – the most popular day for sending out job applications.星期一意味着周末撒谎的结束——它回到了例行公事，并意识到在朝九晚五之前还有五天，根据 BBC Bitesize 网站的说法，“如果你不能忍受你的工作，那么星期一的忧郁可能非常真实。”你痛苦的星期一紧随其后的是星期二——这是发送工作申请的最受欢迎的一天。But is Monday as bad as we like to think it is? Feeling a bit low shouldn't be confused with more serious depression, caused by other factors. Writing for the BBC, author and presenter Claudia Hammond, argues that this low feeling might be a myth. She says: “There is a strong cultural idea that we don't like Mondays.” She mentions an Australian study in 2008 about how people reflected on their mood and found the day that scored the lowest was in fact Wednesdays. So, when Monday comes, maybe we should give it a second chance!但是星期一真的像我们想象的那么糟糕吗？感觉有点低落不应与由其他因素引起的更严重的抑郁症相混淆。为 BBC 撰稿的作家兼主持人克劳迪娅·哈蒙德 (Claudia Hammond) 认为，这种低落的感觉可能是一个神话。她说：“有一种强烈的文化观念，我们不喜欢星期一。”她提到了 2008 年澳大利亚一项关于人们如何反映自己情绪的研究，发现得分最低的一天实际上是星期三。所以，当星期一来临时，也许我们应该再给它一次机会！词汇表dread 担忧，害怕grouchy 满腹牢骚的，不高兴的depressed 沮丧的Monday blues 星期一忧郁症down 情绪低落的，不高兴的Blue Monday “蓝色星期一”，忧愁的星期一psychologist 心理学家mood 心情，情绪an emotional shift 情绪的转变realisation 意识到miserable 苦不堪言的trying 令人厌烦的low 情绪低落的，消沉的depression 抑郁，忧愁reflect 认真思考，反思

In this episode, we delve into two core concepts that largely define how Hindus view our actions and life on earth and after: reincarnation and karma. As usual, we break down common misconceptions around these concepts and even respond to specific hateful narrative.

Yawning is something we all do – maybe because we're bored carrying out tedious tasks or because we're tired. Sometimes, just seeing other people yawn can set you off. But is this biological function really contagious, and why do we do it in the first place?打哈欠是我们所有人都会做的事情——也许是因为我们厌倦了执行乏味的任务，或者是因为我们累了。有时，仅仅看到别人打哈欠就会让你反感。但是这种生物学功能真的具有传染性吗？我们为什么要这样做呢？Many of us think we open our mouths when we yawn to take in more oxygen, but in fact it appears there is no clear biological reason. According to BBC Bitesize, new research suggests it might be because yawning cools the brain down and prevents it from overheating, much like the fan in your laptop. This might be why we're more likely to feel drowsy and yawn in warm temperatures.我们中的许多人认为，当我们打哈欠时会张开嘴来吸收更多的氧气，但实际上似乎没有明确的生物学原因。根据 BBC Bitesize 的说法，新的研究表明，这可能是因为打哈欠可以冷却大脑并防止其过热，就像笔记本电脑中的风扇一样。这可能就是我们在温暖的温度下更容易感到困倦和打哈欠的原因。What is clear is that we yawn more when we're exhausted and ready for a nap, and we can't control when we do it – once we start, there's no stopping us! But it's also true that yawning is a very contagious behaviour. John Drury, a researcher from Sussex University, told the BBC that “it's meant to be automatic; it's something that you can't stop. Dogs yawn when their owners yawn, animals yawn to each other. It happens whether you want to or not.”很明显，当我们筋疲力尽准备小睡时，我们会打更多的哈欠，而我们无法控制何时打哈欠——一旦开始，就没有人能阻止我们！但是，打哈欠也是一种非常具有传染性的行为。苏塞克斯大学的研究员约翰·德鲁里告诉 BBC，“它是自动的；这是你无法停止的事情。狗在主人打哈欠时打哈欠，动物互相打哈欠。不管你愿不愿意，它都会发生。”His research into this cognitive behaviour found that there is a connection with our social group and how close we are to the people in it. If we identify with the person who exhibits the behaviour, we are likely to copy it too.他对这种认知行为的研究发现，这与我们的社会群体以及我们与其中的人有多亲近有关。如果我们认同表现出这种行为的人，我们也可能会复制它。Other research by the University of Nottingham in 2017 found similar results. They asked volunteers to watch other people yawn. They found their ability to resist yawning when others around them yawned was limited. And the urge to yawn was increased when people were told they couldn't. They also found, when using electrical stimulation, that they were able to increase people's desire to yawn. These findings, they say, could be useful because it could help treat other conditions like Tourette's, which involve the same area of the brain.诺丁汉大学 2017 年的其他研究也发现了类似的结果。他们要求志愿者看着其他人打哈欠。当周围的人打哈欠时，他们发现自己抵抗打哈欠的能力是有限的。当人们被告知打哈欠时，打哈欠的冲动就会增加。他们还发现，当使用电刺激时，它们能够增加人们打哈欠的欲望。他们说，这些发现可能很有用，因为它可以帮助治疗像图雷特氏症这样涉及大脑同一区域的其他疾病。What is certain is that a yawn can creep up on us at any time even when we think we're not tired – but, I hope, not when you're reading this article!可以肯定的是，即使我们认为自己不累，哈欠也可能随时向我们袭来——但是，我希望，当您阅读本文时，不会！词汇表yawning 打哈欠bored 感到无聊的tired 疲倦的，累的set sb. off 使某人开始做某事biological function 生物功能contagious 有感染力的，会蔓延的oxygen 氧气overheat 使……变得过热drowsy 昏昏欲睡的exhausted 精疲力尽的a nap 小睡，打盹behaviour 行为automatic 不自觉的，无意识的cognitive 认知的identify with sb. 与某人产生共鸣exhibit 表现出resist 抗拒urge 强烈的欲望electrical stimulation 电刺激creep up on sb. 不知不觉中体验到，悄悄接近某人

William ‘Braveheart' Wallace was defeated by fearsome English archers at the Battle of Falkirk on 22nd July, 1298; when Edward I's army first used longbows against their Scottish adversaries, with devastating effect. Despite Wallace's men deploying their famous ‘schiltron' formation - whereby foot soldiers packed together to form a bristly spear-wall - the arrows the English volleyed back rained down at an awesome rate of ten per minute, per bow.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain why even the clergy of the era were keen on longbow-training; consider the advantage of bows over guns for hunting purposes; and reveal why, despite this victory, it took 200 years for the English to fall back in love with archery again…  Further Reading: • ‘Bowmen of England by Donald Featherstone' (Pen and Sword Books, 2011): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Bowmen_of_England/y8OIDwAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=welsh+longbows&printsec=frontcover • ‘The Battle of Falkirk, 1298' (BBC Bitesize): https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/topics/z8g86sg/articles/zjwdbdm • 'How to shoot a medieval longbow' (The History Squad, 2022): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbINsn5EVg4 … And there's FOUR MINUTES MORE of this discussion, cut-for-time from today's show, exclusively available to our podcast's supporters.

In this episode, I chat with Natalie Costa, founder of Power Thoughts. Natalie Costa is an award-winning coach, speaker, author, and founder of Power Thoughts - a coaching service designed to give children ‘power' over their own thoughts! With a background in psychology and having spent 12 years within the educational sector as well as becoming an accredited Performance Coach, Natalie created Power Thoughts. Through her private practice and workshops, Natalie has helped thousands of children worldwide discover the tools to help them feel calmer, happier and more empowered to tackle modern day life. Natalie has been featured in both national press and TV, such as Good Morning Britain, BBC Breakfast, The Sunday Times, The Telegraph, Stella Magazine, and is one of the Super Tutors for BBC Bitesize.  She is also the co-author of three activity books for children, ‘Know your feelings,' ‘Find your Power,' and ‘Stretch your Confidence!' In this episode, Natalie shares how she supports kids explore their 'big' feelings to help them grow and develop the confidence they need to manage the pressures of school, perfectionism, fear of failure, and all the potential anxiety and overwhelm that life transitions can often bring.And, I'm a firm believer that when we're looking through the burnout box  it's important to recognise that behavioural patterns and those negative overworking, overachieving habits can often begin when we're young. I hope you enjoy this brilliant everyday burnout conversation that looks at burnout through an insightful and different lens. Find Natalie @powerthoughtsncFor more information on Power Thoughts make sure to check out Natalie's website Fancy a little more burnout chat? Find me on Instagram and Facebook @flictaylorwritesCheck out my blog at www.flictaylor.comPlease note, this podcast is not intended as medical advice.

In this podcast I am joined by Natalie Costa. Natalie is a children's confidence coach, an author, a super tutor for BBC Bitesize and the creator of 'Power Thoughts'. Natalie's work is incredibly powerful and important, she teaches children that it is ok to fail and make a mistake. Often children can have high levels of anxiety when it comes to getting things wrong, which leads to low confidence and low self belief. What Natalie does is help children to develop their confidence, build resilience, adopt a can do attitude and help children tap into the power of their mind, as well as articulate their feelings. This was one of the most important podcasts I have done in the mental health space and discovering ways to help a young person with their confidence, mental health and overall well-being.

In recent years STEM education has struggled to attract enough new teachers and has https://www.tes.com/news/more-black-teachers-needed-improve-stem-attainment (failed to appeal to a diverse range of students). But with the increased use of technology in schools, and the new found prominence of scientists and engineers brought about by the pandemic, could a career in STEM have taken on a new appeal? In this podcast two Stem specialists talk about why these subjects have previously struggled to resonate with learners and explain what the last 18 months, and the surge in the use of technology, has done to the way they approach their lessons. This bonus episode features Kemi Oloyede, a science teacher based in Dubai and founder of the Young Black Teachers Network, and Kimberley Elms, principal at Livingstone Academy, Bournemouth. The two teachers are speaking to Tes senior editor, Simon Lock. This podcast is sponsored by BBC Bitesize. BBC Bitesize are launching more than 100 new guides linked to the key stage 3 curriculum, covering English, history, geography, biology, chemistry and physics. They are designed to support students progress through their key stage three journey. You can find more at http://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize (www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize) and click on secondary.

Our tenth episode opens with a rolling discussion and personal anecdotes that take in unprecedented heat in North America, visiting Exxon-Mobil's HQ in Houston, peak air travel, commuting, the Eye of Fire, and the climate emergency. Charlie takes a chunk out of BBC Bitesize for writing that there were 'benefits' to climate chaos. In Hero and Villian we applaud Emily Williamson (and the Plumage Act) and Greenpeace UK for uncovering Exxon-Mobil's lobbying of the US government, and we take aim at Exxon-Mobil, Phil 'the Gurning Deer Killer' Spencer, and the Common Agricultural Policy for helping destroy Europe's biodiversity.  In 60 Second Sell (or should that be '60 Second Shoutout'?) we hear from ecologist Robyn Murphy about her petition to the JNCC (about their proposal to remove protection from widespread species of reptiles and amphibians) and flag up 10-year-old Bailey Woozeer's petition to introduce a yearly fundraising day for animals in school.Byline Times | Dominic Dyer   The Government Must Face Down Big Business & Put Nature FirstChannel Four   Revealed: ExxonMobil's lobbying war on climate change legislationCNN Video   See massive 'eye of fire' burn in Gulf of MexicoThe Guardian   BBC removes Bitesize page on climate change ‘benefits' after backlashBBC News    Emily Williamson: Centenary of victory to be marked with statueEmily Williamson   A statue for Emily Williamson Greenpeace UK newsletter   UnearthedThe Sun   Location, Location, Location viewers switch off as ‘psycho' trophy hunting vid of host Phil Spencer surfacesBirdLife Europe  EU countries take giant step towards killing natureRobyn Murphy petition  Keep all widespread species of amphibian and reptile in S5 & 8 of the WCA 1981 Bailey Woozeer petition   Introduce a yearly fundraising day for animals in schools

Welcome to a shorter-than-usual (!), more spontaneous episode featuring us (co-hosts Catriona and Elizabeth) as its guides! We had planned to release an episode on Beauty - but events beyond our control meant we’ve had to postpone this. However, we decided to embrace the change of plans, and pulled out our mics to explore the timely concept of Adaptation. We touch on:Questions around individual and collective adaptations to new circumstances, both in our lifetimes and with future generations in mind.The role of conscious choice and the ability to influence when considering if and how to adapt.Examples from the natural world, including Emperor penguins, ants, and the human genome. Reflections on how we may want to adapt as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and how vision, creativity and resilience may play a part. Enjoy! And if you'd like to explore this and other topics further, you're very welcome to join our private Facebook group, 'Unfurling Podcast'.---References: ~ Episode quote by Dolly Parton: “We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails.”~3: “Adapt”, Online Etymology Dictionary: Early 15c. "to fit (something, for some purpose)", from Old French, from Latin. Intransitive meaning "to undergo modification so as to fit new circumstances" is from 1956.~4: Bruce Lee: “Be like water making its way through cracks. Do not be assertive, but adjust to the object, and you shall find a way around or through it. If nothing within you stays rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.”~5: “Circle of Influence” mentioned in “Habit 1: Be Proactive” of the book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” by Stephen R. Covey. ~6: George Bernard Shaw: “The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

There's so much to talk about with each play that doesn't fit into the synopsis or into its own episode, so we've decided to cover several topics in this episode. In this episode, we discuss major thematic elements in Shakespeare's Macbeth as well as topics that are usually covered or talked about in reference to this play.  Shakespeare Anyone? is created, written, produced, and hosted by Korey Leigh Smith and Elyse Sharp. Our theme music is "Neverending Minute" by Sounds Like Sander.

This week I talk to Radha about her journey including the importance of family, studying at Cambridge and Imperial, working as a hospital doctor, a GP, teaching medical students AND everything covered below. Radha shares a bit about her own level of self-awareness, learning what she likes and doesn't like and how to continually use that to navigate a healthy and fulfilling life.  Radha has appeared as the medical reporter for The Sex Education Show Ch4 and Make My Body Younger BBC Three. She has been the resident GP for the daytime show Live with Gabby on CH5 and for Newsround CBBC. She has also reported on ITV's This Morning, BBC Breakfast, ITV Tonight, Channel 5 News and ITN News. Working across all platforms Dr Radha contributes to online projects including BBC Bitesize, BBC Teach, BBC Own It, BBC Advice Pages and BBC Learning. She has also been broadcast on BBC Radio1's daytime show, BBC Radio 4 Woman's Hour, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 5 Live, BBC Asian Network, LBC and Radio 1's Newsbeat. Currently writing for Top of the Pops magazine, Radha has been a columnist for the i newspaper, Woman's Own & MSN Lifestyle. She has written for Female First and Bliss magazine. She has also contributed to multiple books supporting young people & parents. She has a particular interest in young people's health & supporting parents, and has worked on campaigns with BBC Children in Need, Public Health England, MIND, British Heart Foundation, JDRF, The Mix  and the NHS Youth Forum. She has spoken at many events, including the NHS Health & Care Innovation Expo, at Camp Bestival & for the BBC Children in Need Mental Health Panel Discussion.

This week we are lucky enough to be enjoyed by BBC Bitesize's own Mr Firth! He shares his analogy that the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh) typifies the toxic behaviours of your average EduTwitter celebrity. We discuss our Hogwarts houses (with Sean trying to overcome his Hufflepuff shame and overcompensating in the processs...) and the school's appalling safeguarding. Keeping an educational establishment open despite the manifest danger of a deadly hidden menace no-one knows how to mitigate or solve!? Thank god this kind of thing only happens in fiction...      

After a couple of weeks away, today's podcast catches up on what we've missed. In this episode, we discuss allegations vs action and why you should always reserve judgement in the absence of facts. We discuss why it's imperative that Twitter no longer be allowed the role of judge, jury and executioner and why it's most vocal users are exactly what's wrong with the court of public opinion. We reflect on the awful disaster in Beruit as the city plunges into protest and examine a recent lesson published by BBC Bitesize about White Privilege and ask "Why is there no counter lesson to such a divisive message to our youngest and most impressionable?". Additionally, we provide some thoughts on the anti-racism push from radical progressives and why this will perpetuate the problems we see eroding our society rather than help to solve them. Then we discuss school reopenings and the continued failure by the governments in both the US and the UK to protect its citizens, provide sound medical advice and a plan of action to get the economy working again. Finally, we look at the absurd question by the Telegraph about taxpayers bailing out Transport for London to avoid higher fares in the future and why we'll get stuck with both. Enjoy!

“The worst part about Coronavirus is worrying about getting Coronavirus,” but yet we see friends living through it, and others who are immunocompromised facing it fearlessly, so how can people with anxiety cope in this time of isolation and fear? Josh and Ella have a follow up to Episode 9: Health Anxiety in which the unprecedented nature of Coronavirus’s effect on society is discussed. Ella follows a model provided by Josh for assessing thought patterns triggered by health anxiety. Josh shares strategies for helping your own mental health, as well as making the environment you share with others a positive one.

Primrose Hill Primary School in Salford is close to the new media city, where the BBC, ITV, C4 and lots of tech and media companies are located. Jon Samuel, the ICT Lead at the school talks about working closely with GoBubble to teach children about safe social media use – and the school’s involvement with BBC Bitesize.

For once we are truly working from home, because we’re recording this episode in Maya’s home office! Usually we record from different countries on Skype, but it’s quite fun and very appropriate to do things differently today.   This podcast is brought to you by Virtual Not Distant, a London-based consultancy helping organisations transition to successful office-optional working. What’s going on? Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker recently unveiled an $18 billion transportation investment bill that includes a tax credit that will give companies more flexibility in offering work from home perks to their employees - more on LinkedIn here. Employers are not supporting tech learning, at least not as much as their employees would like. This UK research in People Management was disappointing to read. The reasons why are not clear, but the expressed frustration certainly is. Leaving people to figure things out for themselves is NOT the way to implement effective digital transformation! WeWork have cancelled - sorry, postponed - their forthcoming IPO Pilar and Maya don’t really get it, the corporate co-working movement and replicating the office you’ve left behind, but clearly some people love it… Not enough to fundamentally shift the problems of office space costs, but maybe it’s good to remind us of the many different options in terms of co-working alone. Work From Home Week - listen to Rebecca Corliss, VP of Marketing at Owl Labs, recapping on this interesting initiative they promoted in July, encouraging corporate partners to experiment systematically with home working.  It’s great to learn more about their ‘Meeting Owl’ product as well, a 365 degree conferencing camera that puts the remote participants in the centre of the hybrid meeting, instead of stuck up on the wall somewhere. Work From Home Week was a great experiment which taught participants a great deal, and the blog post shares these fascinating insights.  “#WFHW” will be repeated, but you don’t have to wait : Why not have your own ‘work from home week’ within your organisation? BBC Bitesize have been writing about ‘workplace perks’, and we all went ‘ahhh’ about the concept of ‘Fur-ternity’ leave - offering new pet-parents the option of working from home for a week while settling a new non-human family member. Anything that brings on experimenting with remote working is fine by us, as is any embrace of the diversity and individuality of human motivation. Pilar has been a panelist this week for a Minds at Work event, which was run as a hybrid event in London plus a parallel remote one, while the two cohorts were kept completely separate.  The remote side used Remo, a new tool for remote events, which worked very well - offering lots of flexibility for participants to ‘choose a table’ and talk to each other, then listen to broadcasts in bigger sessions. Event sessions included finding your community at work, and how that differs in the remote space (do people still meet their best friends or their life partners at work?), as well as the ways we communicate and changing degrees of formality and the evolution of the business conversation generally.  So many shifts, and the question of how to make remote work better are often questions about how to make work better generally… this event and others are really helping to broaden the conversation, and if you get the chance to participate in one in future, why not check it out? You can do so from anywhere in the world, for example somewhere like Maya’s home office - which she has recently reclaimed from a shared space, banishing her other half to his own home office in another room! She has added a comfortable arm chair for reading and research, and also a standing desk zone (though the way this is being used as a bookshelf reveals that not a lot of standing up takes place every day) - at least the theory is there, and it’s good not to sit too much!  Also to change your focal point, by looking at something further away than the screen in front of your nose. A work in progress, Maya is doing her best to organise the space - small as it is - by function, to create different zones for different activities, which is a powerful way to overcome any feeling of being “stuck in one place” all day, as well as switching up the energy: Pilar does a similar thing moving around her apartment, and both enjoy getting out of the home office and interacting with other people in the neighbourhood too. And how about if more employers encouraged people to do things in their community, safeguarded the time needed to take a class or do some exercise? Surely everyone’s health AND productivity would improve.  But you can always find ways to connect when remote working, such as apps like FocusMate - which pairs you with an accountability partner to work alongside  remotely via webcam. Anything which helps you get things done is worth a try, though some people might find it distracting or want to talk to the other person and get to know them - which is the opposite of the whole idea. We would love to hear your thoughts about working from home - which is just one aspect of remote working and wholly optional one. Let us know what you thought of this episode, what you think of working from home, and what you’d like us to explore and discuss next. Send us your comments, or catch up on Twitter to join the conversation.

Meet Irma Grese. She likes boys, girls, movies, makeup, and sadistic torture. She hates her dad, but loves Adolf Hitler. This is horrific story of the story of how propaganda—and a large dose of teenage boredom—transformed an unskilled peasant girl into one of the Holocaust’s most successful concentration camp guards.(Become a Patreon supporter.)

One of the biggest concerns for Year 6 children now that SATs are out of the way is moving on to their next school. They will have often found themselves treated as responsible members of their current school, Leaders in many different areas, but for many it will be back to square one and certainly a big drop down the pecking order. Transition programmes and visits to the new school will help some of these worries to be confronted, but they are likely to bring new challenges which become bigger in their imaginations. Many of their concerns are addressed in the latest addition to the BBC Bitesize website here:  www.bbc.co.uk/startingsecondaryschool (http://www.bbc.co.uk/startingsecondaryschool) A lively friendly place to ask all those questions which are burning to be raised.   (https://www.educationonfire.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/NAPE_2.2-1400.png)         To find out more about National Association for Primary Education (NAPE) Please visit www.nape.org.uk (https://nape.org.uk)
